Skip to comments.Liz Cheney eyes the political stage
Posted on 05/04/2012 4:30:55 PM PDT by rawhide
Liz Cheney has been making the rounds at Wyoming political events this spring and her desire to move back to the state has Republicans from Cheyenne to Washington buzzing about a potential future campaign.
With little fanfare, Cheney, a former State Department official and the eldest daughter of the former vice president, has spoken at six events in different corners of the sprawling state this year. She has been especially busy on the GOP dinner circuit. Cheney has already hit four county Lincoln Day Dinners and keynoted the dinner following the Wyoming GOP convention last month. She also accompanied and appeared on stage with her father when he made his first public appearance following his heart transplant at the state convention.
But Wyoming politicos say local friends of Cheney are encouraging her to look at a run and helping her garner local press coverage by notifying Wyoming media outlets about her attendance at events. Few think she would be making stops in every corner of the state if she werent at least mulling a future run.
Shes running up a lot of asphalt, said Shawn Whitman, a Laramie native and former chief of staff for two Wyoming senators, of Cheneys schedule. This is planting seeds of thought in peoples minds. Theres nobody I know that goes to those events unless they have a position in the party or theyre trying to run for office.
The speculation in Wyoming is that she could launch a campaign as early as 2014, when Sen. Mike Enzis (R-Wyo.) term is up. Enzi, who will be 70 then, has not indicated whether hes running for re-election.

Liz and her dad.
She sure is! Just like her mother, Lynn, and her father. I've been hoping she'd run for office.
Future media public enemy number one
I wish Liz was running this year.
She would make an excellent senator.
I heard she was actually aboard one of the Halliburton submarines that took out one of the New Orleans levee's during Katrina.
Yes. Just what this country needs more representing by:
Ivy-League/University of Chicago husband/wife teams of lawyer/career politicians who expect to start out as U.S. Senator because they are the kids of husband-wife career politicians.
Yes, I heard that last night on the "CBS Evening News with Dan Rather".
That most certainly is great news...
Yes.. the report is "fake but accurate."
She would make an excellent VP
Did you hear—I'm not making this up—the caller to Rev Al who had heard that Dick Cheney got his new heart from Trayvon Martin !
I like Liz. She would be great in congress.
I suspect that does not matter to the zealots here. Now that Romney is the MAN, the social issues are all off the table.
No, they're not. They are just being honest -- he isn't.
Yup...in favour of homosexuals "marrying". The one reason Dick Cheney went down a bit in my opinion (although I understand he pretty much has to because of his other daughter).
Yep, and she knows Rush Limbaugh well enough that he lets her operate the National Gasoline Price Control lever when she drops by his secret control room.
You are a silly little Troll. Go back to your master and report that you have failed in your mission.
I dislike nepotism and have seen it fail often.
However, Liz worked in the state department and has shown herself to be informed and articulate on government matters. Her mother, Lynne Cheney is also quite impressive and would certainly put the likes of Murkowski, Lincoln, McCaskill, Stabenow, Cantwell, Murray, Boxer, Snowe, & Collins to shame.
Something wished for many times in the past.
Nice photo raw...I love 'em both.
lol, I bet she was at the helm ;)
Liz is awesome. Would it not be GREAT to see her in the U.S. Senate????
"Yes.. the report is fake but accurate."
It's as if she were on the submarine. And as if a submarine had taken out the levee. And as if . . .
Who are you to argue with artistic license?
isnt she the one who turns on the weather machine too?
As you have no answers for the truth I stated, as all liberals do, you immediately resort to the ad hominem fallacy.
It is you who failed in your mission because freepers see through non-arguments such as yours.
Nepotism is not exactly what we are talking about here.
Our country has moved from a republic of the people, by the people, and for the people staight back into being governed by a priveledged aristocracy that passes its positions of power down to its children by birthright like the very royalists we rebelled against 200 years ago.
Liz Cheney is the very archetype of what the American revolution opposed and what we have devolved into as a constitutional republic.
The tea party is opposed to this model of governance, yet it seems that you support it.
It's not nepotism if you're qualified. And Liz Cheney is qualified -- in spades.
Nepotism: Favoritism by those in high office to relatives or friends.
Liz Cheney is disqualified for office — in spades -— in these days and times.
What evidence do you have that Dick Cheney ever practiced nepotism?
Dick Cheney was meticulous in his public behavior --- never employing his position to the benefit of any family member. All of whom were expected to make their own way.
Recall that we're talking Cheneys here. Not Kennedys. Or Clintons.
It would be short-sighted to embrace a candidate simply because she was a former Veep's daughter.
At the same time, it would be pig-headed to reject a candidate who is eminently qualified for office simply because she is a former Veep's daughter.
"Recall that we're talking Cheneys here. Not Kennedys. Or Clintons.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Yes, I am. I don't agree with the Cheney's, but at least I know where they really stand. Call me old-fashioned, but I prefer the truth to lies.
You are an idiot. Go bother someone else.
Sorry you are unable to address the truth.
I agree..
Just because one member of a family has served admirably in government service is no reason to exclude another very qualified member of the same family from service.
We should support the best qualified, period.
Also the fact that she has an experienced patriot as a mentor would be a plus IMHO.
What are your credentials to speak for the tea party?
What you said could have been said by any member of the House of Lords.
Which is exactly the Chamber (American equivalent) wherein you propose ANOTHER high-born priviledged Lawyer START her elective political career!
Surely the State of Wyoming has someone other than this rookie kid whose daddy is part of the problem that got America into trillions of dollars in debt. Perhaps someone from the private sector could better represent Wyoming's interests than a Washington D.C. born and bred, llinois- educated scion of an unpopular ex-VP.
The Cheney's have done very, very well through multiple generations of Federal Government employment - so quit with the garbage of calling it "service".
Wow!!!. He wasn't unpopular with me or most conservatives. It is easy to see which way you lean politically.
That would be funny!
Just because I recognize that he played the bad-cop role for the Bushes, while in actuality being a very moderate establishment republican, and you fell for it - you jump to that conclusion?
No wonder the GOP-e has such an easy time conning people such as you.
Why don't you go join Dick in working for the Romney campaign?
You are the first person I have ever seen on FreeRepublic say something bad about Dick Cheney. You are not fooling anyone/.
What's so bad about being a moderate establishment republican who endorsed Romney?
Just wait until Cheney endorses Romney...all that will change.
I'm feeling a little electricity in the air. Could it be...
What a resemblance! I hope that she does run for office. Who knows? Perhaps eventually, for the presidency.
Yes it would be funny if it weren't true but I heard the audio.

Following his move to Mannheim , Juan Amador is seamlessly continuing the accomplished cuisine he was known for in Langen and captivating guests with his highly individual flavour combinations.
Juan Amador has moved his restaurant from a small half-timbered building in the quiet town of Langen to the former Schildkröt site where Caroline Baum used to run Amesa, Amador's acclaimed second restaurant. This light, futuristic atmosphere is a much better match for Amador's style – the relaunch seems to have done him good and he seems more mature. In a slight change of concept there are two menus (Retrospective and Snapshot), each with essentially five courses but peppered with all kinds of treats, though these are less substantial than in Langen. In this respect, Amador is pursuing a path he had already begun, focusing on the menu dishes themselves – and with virtuoso skill. Amador's food always reflects his sure instinct for unusual harmonies of flavour, accentuated and elevated to a higher plane by the textures of outstanding produce. And now he is introducing even more purity and focus – a gastronomic arrangement at its very best.
The Retrospective menu includes the legendary carabinero shrimp with cauliflower textures, nougat and lime, which unfurls an exciting duality of sweetness and acidity, and is wonderfully tactile, especially the cauliflower couscous. With his langoustine, green apple, goat's cheese, duck liver and apple seed oil , Amador has fine-tuned the duck liver, apple and goat's cheese combination that he used to serve in Langen by reducing the contrast in temperature and integrating a bridge – the langoustine – between the sweet and the acidic elements.

Meeting Description:
ECAI Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences, and
Humanities (LaTeCH 2010)
The 4th Workshop on Language Technology for Cultural Heritage, Social Sciences,
and Humanities will be held in conjunction with ECAI 2010, which takes place
from 16-20 August 2010 in Lisbon, Portugal
Call for Papers
Submission deadline: 7 May 2010
About the Workshop
With the advent of the digital age, museums, archives, libraries and other
cultural heritage (CH) institutes are gradually moving away from a predominantly
pen-and-paper based collection management; more and more CH institutes are
aiming to make their collections widely accessible to both experts and
laypersons. A first step in this endeavour is the digitisation of existing data.
Several large-scale digitisation efforts have been launched in recent years.
A similar development can also be seen in the 'soft' sciences, such as social
sciences and humanities (SH), where increasing amounts of relevant texts are
being made available in electronic form, either being produced digitally, or
being digitised as part of efforts directed at digitising archival material.
However, information access should not be restricted to simple key-word based
search on digitised data. To truely unlock the knowledge contained in CH and SH
collections, it is necessary to develop novel technologies that support the
information and entertainment needs of individual users.
Techniques from artificial intelligence are particularly well suited to help
users to make the best possible use of these digitised collections. As
information access is often obtained via the (mostly textual) metadata level,
language technology in particular plays an important role. Other areas of AI,
including knowledge representation, multi-modal systems and user modelling, are
also relevant.
Workshop Topics
Authors are invited to submit original, unpublished papers on all aspects of
language technology, machine learning, pattern recognition, knowledge
representation, multi-modal systems, recommender systems, and other neighbouring
fields in NLP and AI applied to cultural heritage (CH), social sciences and
humanities (SH). We also invite contributions from the cultural heritage
institutes themselves in the form of use cases and usage scenarios. We thereby
hope to bring together both communities (NLP/AI and CH/SH) and foster an
exchange of ideas.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Automatic error detection and cleaning of digitised data
- Data enrichment and linking
- Adapting existing tools to the CH/SH domain
- Knowledge representation, ontologies, metadata and data models
- Knowledge discovery and text mining
- Machine learning and pattern recognition
- Multi-modal and interactive systems
- Personalisation and recommender systems
- Text simplification, text summarisation, and (hyper)text generation
- Transdisciplinary research on CH and SH data
- User scenarios and use cases

Topic: Proposing / Advocating for Ruby on Rails
I was wondering if anyone can give me some ideas or "talking points" about Ruby on Rails to put in a proposal for using Ruby on Rails for an upcoming project instead of our current technology cakephp.
Back in the day I was a perl guy, found RoR late last year and created a few small programs on my own. Recently I got a web developer job for a smaller company with a large online presence. At the moment and for the foreseeable future I will be the only tech person.
Our current suite of websites consists of 4 main parts. 3 are all separate smaller cakephp applications while the 4rth is a larger social networking application with over 50,000 users written in straight php. This application is scheduled to be rewritten in Sept and Oct. While I have been updating and adding to our current cakephp applications, compared to RoR, I am not impressed with cakephp at all. I find the overall implementation of things odd and confusing, while the documentation is extremely lacking. In short switching to RoR seems much more enjoyable not to mention easier and cleaner.
At the job I am the only one with any tech knowledge. No one knows what php or ruby is, so cakephp vs RoR would draw blank stares. I'm pretty sure my executive director will not have a problem with me switching technologies, but will probably want an explanation of why and what advantages will be gained. He will probably want this in a full business like proposal. This is not something I am used to writing and was wondering if anyone had any type of pointers for this kind of situation or some points I can add in for switching from cakephp to RoR

Norma,As you may know, I have never had a real De Lorenzo's pizza. So, I never knew how close I got to one when I was engaged in the De Lorenzo reverse engineering and cloning project. Also, things have changed a lot since that time. For example, the Trenton Hudson St. De Lorenzo store shut down completely (due to advancing age--in the mid to late 60s--of the husband and wife owners, not because of lack of business). My work was conducted relative to the pizzas that were made at that location, based on information provided by several of our members. Then the Trenton Hamilton St. location, which was run by other members of the De Lorenzo clan, closed and moved to another location in Trenton. Along the way, before the closure of the Hudson St. location, the son of the owners of that location opened up a new location in Robbinsville. I would imagine that that location pretty much follows the practices that were used at Hudson St. but most likely with some changes since things rarely remain the same over a period of many years (several decades in this case).I mention all of the above in case you decide that it might be better to wait until you can visit either of the two remaining De Lorenzo locations. I did try several versions of De Lorenzo clone dough formulations but the early ones turned out to have been based on a false premise--specifically, that De Lorenzo's was using a sourdough culture or something akin to an old dough. That led to some dead ends, although I did learn quite a bit about the old dough method notwithstanding. If you can't wait for Robbinsville, I can perhaps point you to a clone dough formulation to try. Also, for some ideas that you might want to incorporate into your present Trenton tomato pies, you might take a look at the photos from the Robbinsville location at http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/index.htm. De Lorenzo's used to do some fairly unorthodox things with its pizzas, such as partially baking a pizza and then adding toppings (like pepperoni), or partially baking a pizza and then adding sauce and maybe more cheese (e.g., see http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/pages/100_3164_JPG.htm and http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/pages/100_3175_JPG.htm), and shifting pizzas between upper and lower stacked Blodgett deck ovens during the bake. There were perhaps several different protocols that De Lorenzo's used to make different ones of its pizzas that we were not able to fully decipher. I think these wrinkles made it more challenging to come up with credible clones.Peter
It probably would be better to wait to try and make a De Lorenzo's pizza until I get to visit De Lorenzo's, but I am curious how a De Lorenzo's pizza would work out in my BS and maybe at market. I would be interested if you could point me to a clone dough formulation to try. I don't need a clone De Lorenzo's dough formulation to give it a shot. I like the looks of De Lorenzo's pizza even though I never tasted one.
Norma,I couldn't tell from the above whether you want a De Lorenzo clone dough formulation or not. Maybe you can clarify.Peter
Peter, Sammy, the grandson of Chick is the one who runs the Robbinsville location of Delorenzo's Tomato Pies. The father, Gary (son in law of Chick) shut up shop in Trenton because it was getting too dangerous. Last I heard, he was going to open up shop somewhere in PA. Sammy was making pies for a good 10 to 15 years at Hudson street and I can verify that nothing has changed in terms of preparation and the way they make the pie. I've been to both at least 20 times.The Delorenzo's Pizza on Hamilton ave recently shut up shop in Trenton due to crime issues. They have moved to Hamilton, the neighboring municipality (they even brought their old sign) and I haven't been able to get in as they have been packed. I actually live about 8 minutes away from this one right now.The Delorenzo's Pizza location within Risoldi's has been shut down, I'm guessing because they moved their whole operation next door in the adjacent strip mall. Also, it didn't seem many people came to the supermarket to get pizza. Many didn't even know about it.More recently, Papa's Tomato Pies, the oldest continually running pizzeria in the US is opening up a new location any day now in Robbinsville (a block away from Delorenzo's Tomato Pies). The father is the one running the new shop while the son is going to take over at the Trenton shop. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Trenton shop shut down soon though due to the crime in Trenton.However, soon, there will be a good opportunity for those that are into trying this style of pizza to go to all three in safe neighborhoods which is nice. We stopped going to Hudson St. 4 years ago after someone was shot in the alley way. We've always avoided the Hamilton Ave Delorenzo's Pizza because of the danger in going to that neighborhood. Papa's was literally in a warzone so we never bothered there either. Kinda sad as we've watch a bunch of businesses that were extremely old and staples of a city for over 60 years to flee or shut up shop altogether.
BenLee,Thank you for the update on the three De Lorenzo businesses. Earlier today I read several articles about the crime problems in Trenton. I also read that Papa's was also opening up a new location in Robbinsville.Peter
Peter,Yes, I would like a De Lorenzo clone dough formulation to try. I am sorry what I posted was confusing. I was at the Weis supermarket after I was at market today and I found some Sargento LMPS mozzarella in a bag. Weis supermarket had Maggio cheese products, but no mozzarellas. I have to look at Giant to see what they have. I don't know if the Sargento LMPS mozzarella will cut it or not for the cheese, but if it doesn't I can use it on a PJ cheesestick attempt. Norma
I believe Acme has the maggio cheese products, at least they did last time I was there last year.
Norma,One of the interesting things I observed from the videos and from the photos from the Robbinsville location is that it appears that but for the fancier digs at Robbinsville the Amicos went to great pains to recreate the Hudson Street setting as much as possible at the Robbinsville location, down to using the same large silver buckets for the sauce, the same Pyrex measuring cups, the same (or very similar) spoons and ladles and knives, pizza serving trays, etc. Since the Robbinsville location uses Blodgett ovens, this leads me to believe that the selection of those ovens was intentional and that the ovens at Hudson Street were also Blodgett ovens. You mentioned Bari as an oven possibility but the ones shown in the videos and in earlier photos look to me to be Blodgett ovens, much like the old 1060 and 1000 Blodgett ovens such as shown at http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-blodgett-1060-pizza-ovens-/271258962409?pt=BI_Commercial_Ovens_Ranges&hash=item3f284b49e9#ht_26wt_1320 and at http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blodgett-1000-Stone-Single-Stack-Pizza-Oven-Natural-Gas-Stainless-Steel-/221262969739?pt=BI_Commercial_Ovens_Ranges&hash=item33844cfb8b#ht_121wt_1320. Walter (waltertore) has the 1000 Blodgetts so he might be able to confirm the brand if he sees this post.With respect to the Bari item you noted, it looks to be a thermometer and not necessarily an indication that a Bari oven was used. I tried to read the thermometer setting in the video you posted, but I couldn't quite make out the value. If the gradations are in one-hundred degree increments, that would suggest a 550 degree F oven temperature. That is the temperature that was mentioned by one of our members over at the Trenton thread. If that temperature is correct, that would settle that matter. The first Facebook link you posted is for Rick De Lorenzo's pizzeria. At the time of the move of that pizzeria to its new location, it was mentioned that the old ovens would make the move also, and the Facebook photos confirm that. BTW, when I worked on the reverse engineering and cloning project, I paid attention to as much information as I could about all of the De Lorenzo locations, but I concentrated more on the Hudson Street location because I had read that the original Hamilton location and the Hudson location did not produce identical pies. An additional tidbit that I picked up from the videos is the use of the use of the end of the table or workbench and gravity to help open up dough balls to form skins. You can see it at 2:05 in the third video you cited and in the photo at the Robbinsville location at http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/pages/100_3174_JPG.htm. Of course, that is not the only way to form a skin but it looks like just another example of something that moved from Hudson to Robbinsville. It is also clear from the Robbinsville website at http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/ that the Amicos are trying to tie the old and new locations together. I am trying not to make this an extension of the Trenton thread yet at the same time I am aware that the De Lorenzo pizzerias past and present made their name and mark with "tomato pies", which is the subject of this thread. So, depending on your results with a clone, it might make sense to cross link this thread with the Trenton thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,7841.0.html.Peter
I only saw that Bari on the oven thermometer and couldn't make out if that was a Bari oven or not. It would make sense if the oven temperature was at about 550 degrees F, but how does that translate to the longer bakes in some peoples opinions? Do you think from all of those pizzas going in and out of the oven that is why it might take longer for them to bake? I think I recall at Pizza Brain that they might also use a Blodgett oven and if think about it, those bakes were longer too.
What do you think?Peter
Do you think the drier environment of a coal oven somehow is why they might need to bake their pizzas on two different decks if they were trying to recreate the same kind of pizza they made in their coal oven? I sure don't know if that makes any sense or not. Norma
Norma,In preparation for coming up with a De Lorenzo clone dough formulation for you to use, can you tell me what cold fermentation period you plan to use, and also whether you have any flours with a protein content of around 12.9% or might be blended to achieve that value? It doesn't matter if the flours are bleached or bromated. And are there any other requirements that have to be met? Peter
I don't know a whole lot about these types of things but it sure makes a lot of sense to me Norma. The bottom of the pizza gets hits twice with a nice hot, dry surface. You're pretty clever ma'am.
Norma,I can't honestly say that the bake temperature is actually around 550 degrees F. Also, depending on how many pizzas are in the oven at one time, the actual time it takes to bake a single pizza can possibly vary quite a bit, so that may account for the uncertainty on bake times. In the Trenton thread, I once speculated that De Lorenzo's at Hudson Street used two ovens to bake their pizzas as a way of controlling the production of the pizzas over both slack and peak times, moving pizzas from the top oven after an initial bake to the lower oven (or vice versa) to finish baking. Also, the pizza makers at De Lorenzo/Hudson often added more cheese, and sometimes more pizza sauce and even more olive/canola oil blend, at the time that the pizzas were moved to the lower oven. I think that this is a technique shown in the photos at the Robbinsville location. For example, look at the two photos at http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/pages/100_3206_JPG.htm and http://www.delorenzostomatopies.com/images/dtp-shoot08-untouched/pages/100_3207_JPG.htm. Those photos are next to each other (that is, numbered consecutively) in the photo sequencing, and I believe that the pizzas shown in the two photos may be the same pizza. If I am correct on this point, note that the pizza goes from the top oven to the bottom oven after a partial first bake and that as the pizza goes into the bottom oven it has some additional shredded mozzarella cheese applied to it. Since the bottom oven has a new pizza baking in it, that can mean that a pizza can be started in the lower oven and later be moved to the upper oven. I had read about this two step process over at the Trenton thread but had not seen anything beyond member comments as evidence of that process.What do you think?Peter
I really don't know how long De Lorenzo's cold ferments their dough, but I will go with whatever you want me to for a cold fermentation period. I have the Occident flour that is lower in protein at home and King Arthur flours, but I can purchase another flour at the supermarket if you think there is a better one to try or blend.

Common Elements Across Evidence-Based Trauma Treatment: Discovery and Implications
The social work profession is facing a critical gap in its provision of effective services to an increasingly large number of clients who are affected by trauma. To explore for the presence of common components in evidence-based trauma treatments, a qualitative content analysis of 8 trauma treatment manuals was undertaken. Analysis resulted in the identification of 35 Intervention Objectives and 59 Practice Element codes. These were further organized into nine domains: trauma assessment, safety, engagement, attachment, core treatment interventions, attention to the social context, trauma processing, post trauma growth, and therapist self-care. Future work for the profession may involve synthesizing and integrating what has already been learned, and translating that knowledge into the classroom. Significantly, three domains which stress activities with the client in their social context were found to be common to trauma treatments, including safety promoting activities. Implications for social work education, practice, policy, and research are discussed.

Gone fishin'
Upper Peninsula
Menominee River: With one gate open at the Hattie Street Dam, anglers were catching walleye and whitefish when using jigs with crawlers or minnows in the current. There are plenty of whitefish in the river. Those night fishing off the Cat Walk caught walleye on large rapalas and thundersticks fished in the current.
Little Bay De Noc: Water temperatures are averaging the mid to low 40s. Most anglers are fishing north of the "Narrows", the Kipling Flats or the Second and Third Reefs. The better walleye fishing was at night. Anglers are trolling stick baits in waters eight to 23 feet deep. Some are still getting a few perch along Butler Island.
Manistique River: Does not have much in the way of salmon however steelhead are in the river.

Writer angered
To the Journal editor:
Ok, it is official, the city of Marquette has gone to pot and some of its residents along with it.
I cannot believe someone would call in a complaint about someone with a good heart who was plowing a single path at Tourist Park. I am requesting that the person who called this in and reported to step up to the plate. I want to know why they took what little energy they had and called the cops about this.
I am sorry, but since this person has a plowing background, knows what they were doing and understands how to keep things from being damaged, I see no reason why this deserved a complaint report.
Welcome to the city of Marquette, stupidity and money hungry at its finest. I am so proud to live here.

Elementary kids battle bullying with kindness.
At a harvest festival last fall at her children�s school, Rio del Mar Elementary in Aptos, Calif., Justina Bryant spotted two boys teasing a fourth-grader with a squirt gun. He was crying and begging them to stop. �And those children weren�t listening,� recalls Bryant, 37, a marketing consultant and former teacher.�Distraught, the boy bolted away from the campus, and Bryant ran after him. �Even as I was bringing him back,� she says, �the children were still taunting him.� Bryant scolded the bullies and told the principal. But that wasn�t enough for the crusading mom, who�d often told her son, Trenten, 11, and daughter, Taylor, 9, �If you see something that needs to change, change it.� Inspired by the Random Acts of Kindness Foundation website, (randomactsofkindness. org), Bryant volunteered to start an afterschool Kindness Club. To her surprise, one of the schoolyard bullies joined.��That basically told me that that child didn�t understand his behaviors and what they really are,� Bryant says. �It was really an eye-opener.�
Starting in December, for one hour each week, 30 club members in grades 2-6 wrote nice notes to office staff, drew pictures for the custodian and crafted kindness bookmarks to hide in the�library. But Bryant wanted more. In March, she launched a 21-Day Kindness Challenge and urged Rio del Mar�s 600 students, teachers and staff to perform five daily acts of kindness. Those who witnessed the acts wrote them on thin strips of paper that were eventually linked in a 400-foot chain circling the cafeteria.
�I am just overwhelmed with emotion at how much the children have embraced it,� Bryant says. �It was amazing to see the school come together, and the community, and celebrate the good things instead of always focusing so much on the negative things.�
When administrators at another school nearby, Valencia Elementary, heard about the challenge,�they decided to launch one, too. But kindergarten teacher Susan Peoples, 48, was skeptical. Her workload was already staggering and, besides, she�d seen other anti-bullying campaigns fail.
But two days into the challenge she noticed that instead of disciplining her students, she was handing out kindness slips. When a 5-year-old dropped something on the floor, Peoples says, �Five kids ran over and said, �I want to help!���Aided by a local nonprofit group, Bryant has expanded the Kindness Challenge nationwide. Since May, 45 schools, including two in the United Kingdom, have contacted her. �[I want] to empower as many children as possible,� she says, �to be the change they want to be.�
5 Ways to Be Kind
� If you see someone sitting alone at a social event, invite her to join you. � Hold the door open for a stranger. � Write an unsigned note to thank a hard worker for all he does. � Show empathy to a friend who is struggling. � Let someone in front of you in line.

Education can change be a life-changer. With that in mind, CMT (Country Music Television), along with the American Association of Community Colleges� Center for Workforce and Economic Development, recently launched the CMT Empowering Education Community College Initiative to encourage viewers of all ages to go to school�or go
back to school�in order to reach their fullest potential. Go to cmtempoweringeducation.com for more information and see a video featuring rising country hit maker Dustin Lynch, who�s serving as the initiative�s ambassador.This article originally appeared as on American Profile

We drove 800 miles (about 1300 km) each way in one day to Lake Tahoe. It took about 15 hours including several pauses during the trip.
We stayed in Tahoe Chaparral resort, conveniently located near the Diamond Peak ski resort. This is a 2-bedrooms unit, pretty comfortable.
We went to ski and sightseeing every other day. We skied in Diamond Peak, Northstar, and Heavenly. We visited Reno and Virginia City, drove around the lake, and took a cruise. The weather was excellent, there was no line in ski, and the view is magnificent.
I have taken quite a number of pictures. Click on each thumbnail to see the pictures in each category.

The U.S. team fought through another tough day on Friday at the UIPM World Cup #3 in Szazhalombatta, Hungary. None of the four U.S. men were able to advance past the qualification round.
In the first discipline of the day, the fencing competition, 2008 Olympian Sam Sacksen (Somerset, Pa.) collided with his opponent and suffered a concussion which landed him in the hospital for observation. The team is hopeful for his speey recovery in time for next week's World Cup in Russia.
A similar fate happened on Thursday to Suzanne Stettinius (Parkton, Md.) during the women's qualification round when she also suffered an injury that prevented her from continuing in the competition.
The top point getter for the U.S. on Friday was Will Brady (Howell, Mich.) with 4348 points, including a ninth-best time in his group's combined event (10:57.13) which put him in 25th place, well out of the top-12 finish needed to advance to Sunday's final.
Brady's teammate, Dennis Bowsher (Dallas, Texas), placed 24th in a separate qualification group with 4312 points. Bowsher turned in the seventh-fastest swim in his group with a time of 2:03.69.
Eli Bremer (Monument, Colo.) placed 32nd in Brady's group with 4172 points.
The U.S. team will look to heal and regroup in time for next weekend's World Cup #4 in Rostov, Russia, the last stop before the World Cup Final and World Championships.

The Thanksgiving holiday weekend will not be spent eating turkey for all U.S. athletes; many will be busy competing, some of whom won't even be in the United States. Some of the world's best alpine skiers will be in Colorado for World Cup action, while the top in bobsled, skeleton, luge, skiing, figure skating and speedskating will be competing in World Cups outside of the country. All of the details are in this special Thanksgiving edition of the Team USA Weekend Preview.
LUGEWorld Cup, Nov. 24-25, Igls, Austria
Erin Hamlin, the 2009 world champion in women's luge, celebrated her 26th birthday Monday. She is hoping the birthday party will continue into the weekend with a podium finish at the first World Cup event of the 2012-13 season in Igls, Austria.
"For the women, Igls is the closest racing," said Hamlin, a six-time World Cup bronze medalist including in 2010 in Igls. "Fast times here are 39 seconds. This is definitely the shortest track we have and definitely the easiest. You don't have high speeds. There are only three curves that have quick combinations. There's really nothing too crazy."
Joining Hamlin in the rush for American medals are Julia Clukey, who returned from knee surgery to win the 2012 Norton National title; and also Emily Sweeney and Kate Hansen.
Chris Mazdzer, who placed 13th at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games, leads a men's squad that also includes Tucker West, Aidan Kelly and Taylor Morris. Preston Griffall, a 2006 Olympian, will team with Matt Mortensen in men's doubles, and Jake Hyrns and Andrew Sherk will also compete in doubles.
FIBT World Cup, Nov. 23-24, Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
The Winter Games will meet summer Games Friday at the bobsledding course in Whistler, B.C., which was the site of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.
The women's bobsled competition in the World Cup this week will feature 2010 Olympic bronze medalist Elana Meyers teaming with two-time Olympic hurdler Lolo Jones. Meyers will be piloting the sled in Whistler for the first time.
Katie Uhlaender, who won gold last week in Park City, Utah, will seek a repeat performance Friday in women's skeleton. Joining the women's skeleton squad this week is Noelle Pikus-Pace, an Olympian and 2007 world champion who is returning to the World Cup circuit after beginning the season in the North American Cup.
The USA-1 four-man bobsled piloted by 2010 Olympian Steven Holcomb will seek its third consecutive medal finish. Holcomb and the BMW Night Train crew of Steve Langton, Justin Olsen and Curt Tomasevicz have two consecutive World Cup silvers. Holcomb will ride with Langton in the two-man bobsled. Nick Cunningham and Chris Fogt will be in the National Guard two-man sled, and Cory Butner and Johnny Quinn will be in the Autism Speaks two-man bobsled. Cunningham will pilot the USA-2 four-man sled and Butner will be in the USA-3 sled.
John Daly, Matt Antoine and Kyle Tress will compete in the men's skeleton Saturday.
TV: 11 p.m. ET Friday, Universal Sports
Also in bobsled/skeleton:
European Cup, Nov. 21-24, Winterberg, Germany
Alpine, World Cup, women's slalom and giant slalom, Nov. 24-25, Aspen, Colo.
Olympic gold medalist Julia Mancuso, World Cup slalom medalist Mikaela Shiffrin and possibly Olympic champion Lindsey Vonn will lead the U.S. women Saturday and Sunday at the Nature Valley Aspen Winternational in Aspen, Colo. Competition will be held in women's slalom and giant slalom.
Shiffrin, just 17 years old, was the first medalist this season for the U.S. women's team when she earned the bronze medal in the slalom in Levi, Finland. She will start in both the slalom and giant slalom, as will Mancuso and Julia Ford.
The big question is whether Vonn, winner of four overall titles in 2011-12, will participate. She is returning from a stomach illness and resumed her gate training just last Sunday in Vail, Colo. She had been out sick for a week.
"Her skiing was right there," coach Roland Pfeifer said of Vonn's gate training. "Obviously she has a lack of energy, but now it's a matter of how fast she's able to recharge her battery."
TV: 1 p.m.-2 p.m. ET Sunday, NBC
Cross Country, World Cup, Nov. 24-25, Gaellivare, Sweden
Kikkan Randall, the defending FIS World Cup champion in sprint cross country, will begin the new season Saturday at a World Cup event in Gaellivare, Sweden. Others on the 13-member U.S. team include Jessie Diggins, Simi Hamilton, Liz Stephen, Kris Freeman and Andy Newell.
Ski Jumping, World Cup, Nov. 23-25, Lillehammer, Norway
Sarah Hendrickson, a nine-time World Cup winner last year, leads the U.S. Ski Jumping Team into its 2012-13 season debut this week in Lillehammer, Norway. Also likely to contend for medals are 2009 world champion Lindsey Van and Jessica Jerome. The new season begins just 15 months short of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, the first that will include women's ski jumping.
Also in skiing:
Alpine, World Cup, men's downhill and Super G, Nov. 21-25, Lake Louise, Canada
TV: 1:30 p.m. ET Saturday, Universal Sports
Nordic Combined, World Cup, Nov. 24-25, Lillehammer, Norway
NHK Trophy, Nov. 23-25, Miyagi, Japan
Ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White, silver medalists at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, will seek their second gold of the ISU Grand Prix season at this weekend's NHK Trophy event in Miyagi, Japan. They won gold at the Grand Prix's first event, Hilton HHonors Skate America in October and are seeking a spot in the ISU's Grand Prix Final, which will be held Dec. 6-9 in Sochi, Russia.
The NHK Trophy is the final event of the Grand Prix prior to the series final.
Other U.S. skaters at the event include Agnes Zawadzki, a bronze medalist at the Rostelecom Cup; Adam Rippon, a fourth-place finisher in the men's completion at the Cup of China; Richard Dornbush, a sixth-place finisher at the Rostelecom Cup, and Ross Miner. Maia and Alex Shibutani will join Davis and White in the ice dance competition. The United States will have three pairs competing: Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir; Lindsay Davis and Mark Ladwig; and Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim.
Alissa Czisny was scheduled to skate in the NHK Trophy, but the two-time U.S. women's champion withdrew due to a hip injury. She will be replaced by Mirai Nagasu. Because she earned a silver medal at the 2012 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Czisny already qualified for the 2013 nationals.
TV: 4 p.m. ET Saturday, Universal Sports; 2 p.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, NBC
Webcast: 1 a.m. ET Friday, universalsports.com
ISU Long Track World Cup, Nov. 24-25, Kolomna, Russia
The second Essent ISU Long Track World Cup event of the season will feature race distances of 1,500, 3,000 and 5,000 meters in Kolomna, Russia. There will also be mass start events.
Jilleanne Rookard, a 2010 Olympian, placed seventh in the women's 1,500 at last week's event in Heerenveen, Netherlands, to top U.S. skaters at the longer distances. Patrick Meek, who placed 14th in the men's 5,000, is among the leading U.S. men's skaters.
UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, Nov. 24, Koksijde, Belgium
Katie Compton, the leader in the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup standings, will chase after a third medal in Saturday's third World Cup event in Koksijde, Belgium. She won the season's second World Cup event in October in Plzen, Czech Republic, and won silver in the season-opening race.
Other U.S. racers on the tour include Kaitlin Antonneau, an 18th-place finisher in the elite women's race in Plzen, and Zach McDonald, a 13th-place finisher in the U-23 men's race.
Webcast: 8:50 a.m. Saturday, universalsports.com

Mark McKnight will wrestle at 55kg in men's freestyle and Shaun Scott will wrestle at 84kg in Greco-Roman.
Also in wrestling:
Haavisto Cup, Nov. 24, Ilmajoki, Finland
USA Eagles vs. Romania, Nov. 24, Bucharest, Romania
The USA Rugby Eagles men's national team will finish up its European tour Saturday, when it plays Romania at Stadionul National de Rugby Arcul de Triumf in Bucharest, Romania. The Eagles defeated Russia in the opening match of the tour, but did not play well in the second half of a 22-13 loss to Tonga last week. The United States is one spot ahead of Romania in the IRB world rankings, making the game Saturday an important one.
"We really need to hammer home how important it is to execute simple things. We got punished (by Tonga) in this match for fundamental mistakes and it cost us the game," U.S. coach Mike Tolkin said. "Tightening up those errors are what we'll focus on against Romania."
Also in rugby:
USA Eagles women's national team vs. France, Nov. 21, Orleans, France, and Nov. 24, Paris
U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team vs. Canada, Nov. 23, Carson, Calif.

New players include forward Amando Moreno and defender Matthew Miazga, both of whom play for the New York Red Bulls Academy.
European Cadet Circuit, Nov. 24-25, various sites
Tournaments will be held across Europe this weekend in the European Cadet Circuit. The action includes women's epée in Grenoble, France. Amanda Sirico and Harrison MacRae both medaled in women's epee in October at a cadet event in Austria.

text: Ok. So I have been looking at teachat for quite some time now, though I just became a member a few days ago. Another forum that I belong to (Badger and Blade.com--for old school shaving--razor, strop, shave brush) has categories just like teachat (ex: green tea for teachat, razors for badger and blade, black tea for teachat, shaving soaps for badger and blade....etc. you get the idea. Anyway, my banter does have a purpose! One forum that they have on badger and blade is a "buy/trade/sell" forum. People who have razors or soaps they ordered and didnt like, or people looking for old razors to collect, etc. post in this section and people interact/buy/sell/trade from eachother. I thought this would be a great concept to bring to Teachat. How many times have we all ordered some samples or too much of something and regretted it and you really cant do anything about it. This would be a great opportunity for people to exchange tea samples or even tea ware that was no longer used or wanted. Any thoughts?

Here we drift, paddle and motor quietly around an estuary, looking to spot grizzly bears as they feed on the sedges and grasses at high tide. Low tide brings more bears out, and we may see them turn over large boulders in their search for crabs, isopods and beach barnacles. On some tides we transfer to our flat bottomed skiff to get into the shallows. Please bring your binoculars and camera! Lunch is included. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.
Rocky Mountain Wildlife Trip. The next day we take a one hour drive further into the park to a small dock on Clearwater Lake. This lake is one of the premier canoeing lakes in BC and is in the heart of a protected watershed. We take the rest of the day for a leisurely paddle to our campsite, always on the lookout for moose, deer and wolf.. No canoeing experience is needed as our guides are also instructors, enabling trip members the opportunity to perfect their Canadian canoeing techniques. Our campsite has outhouses, tables, fire-pits, and tent sites.
On Day 4 we waken in a complete wilderness setting and very far from the maddening crowd! We can pack a lunch and explore up lake for fishing holes or paddle to the end of the lake where the Clearwater River pours into the lake and forms a small lagoon. Or you may choose to swim or sit in the sun and read. We head back to the dock by late afternoon. . Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included.
Rockies West Mini-Safari. In Jasper we tour some of the scenic spots for wildlife viewing and photo taking. A morning drive along a mountain offers great chances of seeing elk, mule and white-tail deer, bighorn sheep and perhaps a grizzly bear. We stop at Pyramid Lake for short walk and then head to Maligne Canyon for a hike down the trail of Six Bridges. Our next stop is Maligne Lake where passengers will have the option of joining a scenic guided boat tour to the world famous Spirit Island. No trip to the Rockies could be complete without a picture of this Island, a quintessential symbol of pristine wilderness.
Paws and Jaws Kayak and Wildlife Tour. As we search for signs of orcas, our paddling routes take us along forested shorelines, rock cliffs inhabited by bald eagles, and through hidden coves and lagoons. A promising sign is the presence of salmon, the orca's favourite dish. At any moment we may see a fin break water or encounter a pod of orcas as we round a bend in the coastline. When this happens, we form a 'raft' by coming together as a group and grabbing the gunnels of a fellow paddler's kayak. If we are lucky, the orcas will not interrupt their path and will swim either beside our raft, or underneath it.
The 11 day Rocky Mountain Wildlife Tour includes a mix of accommodation including camping, guest houses and hostels.
Please talk to Midnight Sun staff if you have questions about the tour you have selected. Smoking is not permitted in the vehicle or in accommodation we utilize.
All rates are based on double occupancy.
Tour costs do not include gateway accommodation, optional activities, travel insurance, and 5% GST.

Laurie Pallesen lost a military career to a boot camp injury. Now she has another mission.
By CAMILLE C. SPENCER
Published March 9, 2007
NEW PORT RICHEY - Since she was a little girl, Laurie Pallesen wanted to join the U.S. Army. She wanted to travel the world and do something that set her apart from her brothers.
She joined the service when she was 19. But with only two weeks left in boot camp, an accident injured her kneecap and shattered her dreams of being in the military.
In time, she picked up a new dream: her daughter's figure skating aspirations.
She stayed up until dawn sewing outfits for her daughter, Rebecca. When flying got too pricey, Pallesen and her daughter, a two-time USA Roller Sports free-dance champion, drove through the night to competitions all over the country.
Now Rebecca is 21, her skating days behind her.
And Pallesen, 47, is preparing to do something for herself.
"She was always in the limelight," Pallesen said, "so this is my chance."
* * *
After she enlisted, the Army sent Pallesen for six weeks of boot camp at Fort Knox, Ky.
One night, Pallesen was riding in the back of a truck headed to boot camp war games. A recruit standing near Pallesen was holding an M-16. Suddenly, the combat rifle accidentally slid off the recruit's shoulder and hit Pallesen's left knee.
At the time, Pallesen didn't think much of the incident.
"I said 'Ow,' " but I didn't realize how bad it was. The next morning, I could hardly move."
Even so, Pallesen got her certification from boot camp. She entered a military institute in New Mexico, but she was medically disqualified because of her knee problems.
The M-16 had broken off a piece of her cartilage. In 1979, Pallesen had the first of many surgeries.
"He (the doctor) said you might want to think about doing something different with your career," Pallesen said.
Pallesen struggled with anger and disappointment as she watched her military dreams fade away.
As the years passed, Pallesen spent weeks in hospitals, wore leg braces and reluctantly rolled around in a wheelchair when she was too tired to walk. She's had 13 knee surgeries.
A sedentary lifestyle caused Pallesen to balloon to 290 pounds.
Pursuing her daughter's dream wasn't just a mother's duty. It was Pallesen's chance to learn how to dream again.
"I was so busy raising her and I was always with her," Pallesen said of Rebecca. "I never had time for anything else."
Until recently. Last year, someone at the VA facility in Gainesville, where Pallesen receives care, told her about the National Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic in Colorado.
The clinic offers physical rehabilitation for disabled veterans through sports like skiing and snowboarding. The five-day clinic, co-sponsored by Disabled American Veterans, costs about $700,000 to put on.
The trip will cost Pallesen about $1,500. Her apartment complex and the DAV chapter in Gainesville donated half the money. Pallesen still needs about $700.
Pallesen plans to go cross country skiing at the clinic. She wanted to try something she'd never done before.
"It's something for her to do for herself, and I am proud of her," Rebecca said. "Her life has always been about me. She threw her life and energy into me and not paid attention to herself. Now, she's learning there is time for herself."
The sports clinic began in 1981 for disabled veterans at the VA Medical Center in Grand Junction, Colo. About 78 local veterans attended.
Special ski equipment was used. For example, one-legged skiers used outriggers, or forearm crutches with ski tips attached, to help them balance.
The clinic branched out nationwide in 1987.
"Skiing does amazing things for people," said Sandy Trombetta, chief of recreational therapy and clinic organizer. "It looks out of the realm for some, but it has tremendous impact on people's psyche and rehabilitation."
Now, the clinic draws about 350 people from all over the country.
Veterans can learn to play sled hockey, go snowmobiling and scuba diving and try other sports at the event.
"They think, 'If I can do this, there's so much more I can do,' " Trombetta said. "It tends to jump-start their rehab."
To prepare for the clinic, Pallesen works out twice a week using an elliptical machine at Shapes, a local gym.
She's lost 70 pounds since she started working out a few years ago.
"I think she's overcome her biggest challenges, with her weight and the disability," said Angel Russo, a membership consultant at Shapes. "Anything from here is a cakewalk."
Pallesen hopes so. She bides her time reading about the clinic on the Internet, swing dancing on weekends and working two jobs to raise money for her trip.
She's counting down the days until April 1.
"This is going to be a challenge," Pallesen said, "but I'm ready."

Dr. Ie-Ming Shih is the Richard TeLinde Distinguished Professor of Gynecologic Pathology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Shih directs the Richard W. TeLinde Gynecologic Pathology Program in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics and co-directs the Breast and Ovarian Cancer Program at the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions.
Dr. Shih received his M.D. from Taipei Medical University and earned his Ph.D. in pathology from the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Shih went on to do a clinical fellowship in gynecologic pathology and a research fellowship in cancer genetics at Johns Hopkins before joining the faculty in 2001.
Dr. Shih has published extensively on basic and translational research related to gynecologic pathology and oncology, with nearly 300 original publications and book chapters. His research focuses on molecular and translational studies in various gynecological neoplasms, especially ovarian cancer. His research team helps elucidate the genomic landscape in ovarian clear cell carcinoma, ovarian low-grade serous carcinoma and uterine serous carcinoma. Dr. Shih's research team has contributed to the discovery and functional characterization of cancer associated genes and the pathway they controlled including ARID1A, Rsf-1, Syk, NAC1 and Notch3 in ovarian cancer. Dr. Shih in collaboration with Dr. Kurman has proposed the dualistic model (Type I and Type II) in ovarian cancer pathogenesis, which has become a well-accepted model in studying ovarian cancer. Based on molecular genetic analysis in ovarian cancer, they are exploring new molecular targets and pathways for experimental therapeutics and are initiating new clinical trials based on their new findings. Currently, Dr. Shih takes one of the leadership roles in the multi-institutional DoD-OCRP Ovarian Cancer Consortium which studies the pathogenesis of the precursor lesions of ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma. He is also a member of the NCI-sponsored CPTAC (Clinical Proteomics Technology Assessment for Cancer) consortium at Johns Hopkins for integrative analysis of proteomics and genomics in ovarian cancer. He sits in several advisory boards such as NCI Ovarian Task Force of Gynecologic Cancer Steering Committee (for clinical trials on gynecologic cancer), Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, and International Society of Gynecologic Pathology/World Health Organization (WHO) Nomenclature Committee for Gynecologic Neoplasms in addition to SPORE external advisory board and various study sections of NCI, DoD among several others. Besides his clinical, research and teaching obligations, Dr. Shih is a passionate photographer (www.shih-photography.com).

Research Summary
Dr. Shih's research team focuses on the molecular pathology of ovarian cancer, the most lethal malignant tumor among gynecological neoplasms. The long-term objectives of his research team are:
A. to understand the molecular etiology in the development of human cancer, and
B. to identify and characterize cancer molecules for cancer detection, diagnosis, and therapy.
Dr. Shih's team uses ovarian carcinoma as a disease model because it is one of the most aggressive neoplastic diseases in women. For the first research direction, they aim to identify and characterize the molecular alterations during initiation and progression of ovarian carcinomas. Previous genome-wide analyses from his team have identified molecular alterations in several new cancer-associated genes including Rsf-1, NAC1, and fatty acid synthase among several others. The investigators have demonstrated the essential roles of these gene products in sustaining tumor growth and survival. Current projects are focusing on elucidating the mechanisms by which these genes function in cancer cells and delineating the cross-talks between those genes and other signaling pathways.
Specifically, they are identifying their downstream targets and pathways, and are determining their roles in maintaining cancer stem cell-like features, invasion and drug resistance. The second research direction is a translation-based study. The team is assessing the clinical significance of an array of new cancer-associated genes in predicting clinical outcome and in the developing potential target-based therapy in mouse preclinical models.
They are also establishing innovative assays for cancer detection and diagnosis by identifying new tumor-associated genetic and protein biomarkers through serial analysis of gene expression, gene expression arrays, proteomics and methylation profiling. The purpose is to develop new tools in detecting human cancer using body fluid samples. In collaboration with several investigators, they are integrating new technologic platforms such as microfluidics, nanotechnology and systems biology in their studies.

I am going to buy my first Yxing for puer teas and need an adice from someone who has seen more authentic Yxing than myself.
I have found this 100ml zuni teapot. The seller claims that it is an export quality factory production from 80s. The cost is about $100. Do you think it is a real thing? Is it worth the money?
Here are some pictures.

Dates Turn into a Bar
Depending on your palate, likes and dislikes, and whether you have a sweet tooth or not, these may be serious business for you. They're a wonderful companion to mid-morning coffee or tea rituals. But you won't want to limit your consumption after you've tasted this date bar.
Moist and chewy flesh, fresh dates of the medjool or bahri variety aren't at all gritty. They're slightly sweet with a creamy honey taste. As I described last week, they remind me of chocolate truffles only softer with caramel and vanilla butteriness, oozing ambrosial flavor. I'd even call them a delicacy.
I made two batches of bars, one with medjool and the second with noor. While both turned out worthy, the medjool bars had more flavor depth and were slightly sweeter without added sugar. These are for people who like a small, not too sweet treat and don't want to feel guilty eating one.
I made the dough part of the cookie then put it in the refrigerator overnight. That speeded things up after work the next day.
Figs would be a great substitute for dates- no pit to remove just crunchy little seeds inside to enjoy.
For an easy dessert with a wonderful symphony of tastes, try French vanilla ice cream (I made a batch using Elise's fantastic recipe at Simply Recipes). Pour sherry over the top (Corti Bros has a nice selection including my favorite splurge, Garvey Gran Orden Pedro Ximenez (PX) Jerez-Xeres-Sherry). Serve with a date bar and you'll be um-ing and awe-ing.
Easy Date (or Fig) Bars
Makes about 25 cookies
1 cup finely chopped dates, pits removed
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup apple juice
¼ cup sugar (optional)
¼ teaspoon orange zest
Cookie Dough:
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
½ cup sugar
½ teaspoon orange zest
1 large egg white
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flour (all-purpose, whole wheat or a combination)
To make the filling:
Combine figs, water, juice and sugar (if using) in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook at a simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. (You want the dates to be soft and spreadable, so however long it takes to get this consistency. Mine still had soft little lumps that are fine.) Add the orange zest and cool.
To make dough:
Cream butter, sugar, and orange zest. Beat in the egg white and vanilla. Add the flour and stir or beat with a mixer until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350F.
(I recommend working quickly on this next step. As the dough gets warmer, it becomes more difficult to handle.)
On a floured surface, roll one half of dough out to about a 12 x 16-inch rectangle. Cut into 2 or 3 strips that are 4-inches wide, depending on how wide you want your cookies. Spoon a line of filling down the center of each strip.
Fold one side of dough over the filling; fold the remaining side over to slightly overlap the first side. Press or softly pinch to secure the dough, then carefully flip it over so the seam side is on the bottom. (It's easiest to flip it directly onto a baking sheet.)
Using a serrated knife, slice each log into individual cookies. (I cut mine every 2 ½ inches or so.) You can also put them into the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing to make it a tad easier.
Bake for 12 – 15 minutes, until golden. Cool on a wire rack.

T-Mobile Cuts Roaming Costs: Will Rivals Answer The Call?
James Dennin, Kapitall: T-Mobile is eliminating roaming costs to court international customers. Will anyone pick up?
Globe-trotting T-Mobile (TMUS) customers are about to see their phone bills plunge. In an effort to court international and corporate customers who travel frequently, the wireless company is dropping roaming charges and allowing its customers to pay a low, flat rate for calls worldwide.
[Read more from Kapitall: Memory Prices on the Surge: Will These Semiconductor Stocks Surge]
Roaming costs – an industry standard – can add as much as 90% to a phone bill. According to the company, customers who amass roaming chargers at rival AT&T (T) would pay a whopping $1500 for a combination of data usage, texting, and phone calls abroad.
Patrons of T-Mobile's plan would only pay about $6.40.
Inflationary rhetoric aside, that's a pretty hefty price drop. And while AT&T has a number of international plans to lower the cost significantly, nothing in the industry approaches T-Mobile's rate.
- T-Mobile will also offer data service for free (although it'll be slower).
- And T-Mobile customers can purchase unlimited calls to about a hundred different countries for a flat rate of about $10 a month.
There is no doubt that these offerings will drastically reduce T-Mobile's revenue. But that's not necessarily a problem. The company is already owned by the much larger Deutsche Telekom AG (OTC), whose European operations could possibly provide a buffer against the losses T-Mobile could incur by charging so much less for calls placed across the pond.
As the third largest wireless provider in the country, T-Mobile is all about market disruption. It cannot grow if it can't figure out ways to cut into Verizon's (VZ) dominant market share in the US, or AT&T's stronger presence overseas. And if the globe-trotting set doesn't sound like a very large demographic, offering cheap international service could be a way for T-Mobile to court lucrative corporate contracts, in addition to disrupting business for its competitors.
These moves have a tendency to percolate throughout the market. Shortly after T-Mobile introduced Jump, its program for unlimited smartphone upgrades, it wasn't long before competitors starting offering similar programs of their own.
So to my friends overseas: call me, maybe. Or should I say telephonez-moi?

Following our show with Esther Sternberg, "The Science of Healing Places," listeners continue to gift us with picturesque images of their physical sanctuaries and healing spaces. This might not be surprising, but the common themes we've noticed: home and nature.
In the photo above, Matthew John George takes us along the shores of Lake Michigan to the Kohler Dunes State Natural Area in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. While, in the photo below, Steve Gentile presents the best of both worlds — Kaaterskill Falls in New York, "which is in reality right in my backyard." He posted this scene on our Facebook page and shared this important parting thought:
"Every sacred place could be embraced as 'right in our backyard' and we should confidently protect them as a part of our soul's wellbeing."
