Akiva Resnikoff started this company, The Cookie Department, like five years ago in California and the idea was to do functional foods in cookie form. You know functional foods: chocolate that's got something in it to make you smarter and kill it at work, and drinks to make you more focused—they were kind of peaking about four years ago. Since then, the only functional foods with stamina have tended to be the things that get you wired: Red Bull, and Four Loko (though I don't think you can buy that anymore), and maybe Mountain Dew, which is pretty much just dosed with caffeine, probably the most legitimately functional of all the functional boosts.

Adoboloco Hot Sauce Is Our Favorite Burrito Blaster
John: A few years back, Tim and Summer Parsons of Maui started homeschooling their three kids. Their edible education curriculum called for expanding the garden on their half-acre plot. "Everybody chose what they wanted to grow, and one of the things was jalapeños," Tim Parsons says. They grew really well, those jalapeños—insanely well. The Parsons had so many they began turning them into hot sauce. READ MORE
Hand-Juice and Heart at a Korean Restaurant on the Fringe
1/12 Sunhui Chang had a catering company called Kitchen Dick Road. He was driving around up in Washington, on the Olympic Peninsula, and he saw a street sign: Kitchen-Dick Road, right at the intersection of Woodcock. Back home in Oakland, California, he called his company that: Kitchen Dick Road. He had cards printed up. He thought it was hilarious. But how many brides really want to deal with the question Who's catering your wedding? with an answer that has dick in it? So Chang and his wife, Ellen, started calling it KDR instead, and when people asked—people who would never, ever find Kitchen Dick Road even a tiny bit funny, blank to the self-effacing humor that hardens like callouses on a cook's blade finger—they made something up to fit the initials: Korean Dude Rocks.

What Kind of Food Has Meaning?
My grandma was a really terrible cook, but she could bake. She made angel food cake with chocolate glaze that tasted the way playground bark smells, only sweet. And she made lemon cookies that were tangy and had white icing that dripped a little off the edges and while it was thick it also looked gauzy. I asked her for the recipe and she wrote it out for me on the white pad she kept near the phone. READ MORE
Kosher Soul: Michael W. Twitty on Freedom, Diversity, and the Passover Table
Passover is a Jewish holiday celebrating a journey of emancipation, symbolized by food on the Seder plate. That's fertile ground for a culinary historian who also happens to teach Judaic Studies. Talking with writer, historian, and chef Michael W. Twitty is to pivot around several simultaneous conversations: Judaism, blackness, history, activism. Twitty susses these things out on his food blog, Afroculinaria. The site is dedicated to preserving and reconstructing the diaspora cooking traditions of the antebellum South, and looks into identity matters of being both black and Jewish (or what he calls "Kosher/Soul"). Twitty, who is based in Washington DC, made a name for himself with an impassioned open letter to Paula Deen, and spoke at the prestigious Mad Symposium about his culinary-genealogical project known as the Southern Discomfort Tour. Pesach, the Hebrew word for Passover, translates as "mouth speak." We thought it was the perfect moment to ask Twitty to mouth-speak his own thoughts on his favorite holiday, and what he plans to cook for Passover this year. READ MORE
Make Your Own Nacho Cheese Crackers
In part one of my cracker-making exploration, I showed you how to make classy Free-Form Herb Crackers to serve with cheese. Here's how you make my other current favorite, sort of like Cheez-Its mashed up with jalapeño rings (they taste almost exactly like nachos and are much less messy). For the cheese powder, you'll need to steal the flavor packet from a box of mac 'n' cheese. Cook and toss the naked macaroni that remains with butter and cheese, or save for a craft project. Up to you. READ MORE

I've greatly enjoyed this app for half a decade. I first gave this game 5 stars on 10/11/2010, but I never wrote a review until now. I LOVE this game, I love my furdi, and I've had it on four phones. I've finished the game as best as I can tell. I DO have a couple of concerns. I wish I could do something with that strange totem on furdi's home planet, and I wish I could help that poor little plant in furdi's house. That is all. Thank you!
Something's missing ... I really, really like this game.. its the best game i ever had, and i am very lucky to have this game. But ... in mini-games, furdi's cannot move! I tilt my phone but nothing's happen, and then i click the screen everywhere but it also wont work. I really love this game, furdi is so cute.. and i feel like i have a pet in the real world. Please help me fix this problem, by update or everyone can help me by comment on rating. :'(
Good except... I really love the game but I would like to help the sickly ginkgo(?) tree in the hut. Also I found a bug where if you use a star checkpoint potion, earn some credits, buy something from a shop (I've tried furniture and the owl's shop), then go back and continue star surfing with the same checkpoint potion as previously, it will set you back to the beginning instead of the farthest traveled planet, like the normal star quest potion. It's annoying since then you have to buy a new potion to reach the checkpoin
Crashes and more crashes Literally crashes every 5-10 seconds. Tried to play in order to see if it would become better but no, it does not. I'm on a Sony Experia M4 Aqua by the way, so it's not a bad phone at all.
Help I really like this game. I have played it off and on since it came out. But I cannot pass the fireflies. Seriously, the last level is too difficult. It's getting old.
Liked it I really like this game.The only problems are;it's way too hard to catch the fireflies and when I star jump,I can't tilt my nextbook 8 to get the credits to boost myself.It says my device is compatible,but it still won't work!Please help me with this.I'm not sure if it's me or the app,but HELP!

I go to bed as soon as I've assured the camp that all is well, I lay my head down on my pillow and let sleep take me.
"Rock a by baby on the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock, when the bow breaks the cradle will fall and down will come baby to mummy you'll fall" The face of a baby fills my mind, a beautiful baby with dark, curly hair and bright blue eyes.....
"Robin is mummy singing to you again? Look at that smile, it's just like yours dear" That voice.....I know that voice, his face hits me hard but melts me like butter Xavior....
"Your eyes though" thats my voice! "our beautiful Robin" I coo, nuzzling the baby's face, the baby giggles and my heart jumps as it does so.
"Our child" Xavior sighs "Proof of our love, our baby"
I open my eyes what was that? Why did I have that dream? I touch my cheek, the warm liquid dripping down my hand. I curl myself up into a ball the image of the child filling my mind. I touch mine and Xavior's amulets and close my eyes again. I'll save you Xavior, I promise.
I'll wait forever x

text: SOLUTION: KEEP TRYING! I didn't change a thing and it worked on the 6-7th attempt. I've downloaded the 64bit ISO, the MD5 checks out. I've burned this as slow as my burner would allow (3x) and verified the written data, which checked out. I'm booting from the CD, however everything seems to run pretty slow. Once the setup starts and I get to the pretty blue/green screen, it sits there for about 3-4 minutes, I can move the mouse around but there's nothing to click on or anything like that. Eventually I can select the lanaguge, etc. The next screen pops up instantly, I click the install now button and I sit at "Setup is starting..." for a few minutes. Once the next screen is up, I'm able to agree to the license terms and goto the next screen (which is instant). I then select the "Custom (advanced)" option and select the partition I want to install to. (If it matters, the first time I went through I formatted my hard drive which turns out wasn't such a good idea, but I can reinstall Vista Ultimate 32 if I can't get Win7 to work, that shouldn't be a big deal). I then select the correct partition I want to install to and hit next. Copying files runs instantly, then it pauses before it starts the Expanding files step. After a few minutes of what looks to be the installer doing nothing, Expanding files get bolds and sits at 0% for a few minutes. It then starts steadily counting up, about 1% per 3-4 seconds. The first time through I was able to get to 33%, however it doesn't seem to always fail at the same percentage. The error I'm seeing is... WTF, I was running it again to get the exact error and it didn't do it this time... go figure I'd type up this huge post and it works then... The error was something like 0x80070570 "cannot install required files". I guess I can't really complain. Please remember that I checked the MD5 of the ISO as well as verified the contents of the disc using ImgBurn, so as far as I know, the disc is not corrupt. I also burned a second copy (just in case) and I'm still getting the same results. Both of these discs were burned from the same computer, my work laptop, if that makes a difference. Could this be because I'm installing 64 bit? I've never had any experience with it before, so I'm not sure.

The National Security Archive's Peter Kornbluh discusses an especially sinister chapter in Pinochet's dealings with his own country's media. Transcript BROOKE GLADSTONE:This is On the Media. I'm Brooke Gladstone. BOB GARFIELD:And I'm Bob Garfield. The death this week of Chile's former dictator has rekindled many a bad memory of the Augusto Pinochet regime, most disturbingly, the disappearance of more than 3,000 people, most on the political left, at the hands of Pinochet's secret police in the early 1970s.Not only were the Chilean media largely silent about widespread arrests, torture and murder, several large news organizations were accomplices in a cover-up, behavior that was foreshadowed even before Pinochet overthrew the democratically-elected socialist government of the late Salvador Allende.The collusion of Pinochet's forces with the Chilean media oligarch and the CEA has been documented by author Peter Kornbluh, director of the National Security Archives Chile Documentation Project. Revisiting those dark days, Kornbluh told us that the U.S. government was so eager to dislodge the leftists that they conspired with the owner of Chile's largest newspaper, El Mercurio. PETER KORNBLUH:Well, the El Mercurio empire was owned by the richest man in Chile, Agustin Edwards. He had very good friends at the highest levels of the U.S. government. His media empire received more than two million dollars, some of it approved specifically by the president of the United States, Richard Nixon.And I'm not saying this as my own analytical opinion. The CIA documents that we have obtained the declassification of, they say that propaganda operation, passing these millions of dollars into the Agustin Edwards media empire, quote, "set the stage," unquote, for the coup of September 11th, 1973. BOB GARFIELD:The disappearances began between 1973 and 1975. At one point, 119 Chileans were murdered by the regime and were reputed to have been found in Argentina. Tell me about this. It's what they called Operation Colombo. PETER KORNBLUH:The regime had already disappeared hundreds of Chilean leftists. And now they faced this issue: how to make the disappeared reappear. And that was the crux of Operation Colombo.And essentially, it involved planting bodies on the streets of Buenos Aires, bodies that could not be identified - the hands were burned off, some of them were headless, or their faces were burned – with IDs on them identifying them as several of the Chilean disappeared. BOB GARFIELD:And the idea was to suggest that they had been killed not by Pinochet's secret police but by their own fellow travelers. And they planted stories in the Argentine media, but they went to great lengths to do that. PETER KORNBLUH:Worse than planting stories in the Argentine media, they simply created their own magazine. They called it Lea, which in English means "read." It was a magazine that was only published once. It ended up on the newsstands of all the kiosks in Buenos Aires three days after several of these bodies were found.And it basically was an article that said that Chilean leftists had come to Argentina, they were fighting among themselves and killing themselves, and it gave a list of 60 Chileans, all of whom were disappeared in Chile, but now, according to this article, had been killed in fighting among each other in Argentina.One week later, another propaganda piece appeared in a newsletter in Brazil, and it said the same thing, that they'd been fighting among themselves, simply killed one another. BOB GARFIELD:It's phenomenal. And these stories were deemed sufficient enough evidence for the Chilean media to cite them as evidence that the leftists indeed were behind these murders.There's one extraordinary headline in a Chilean paper. Tell me about it. PETER KORNBLUH:In La Segunda, which was one of Chile's most leading newspapers, owned by Agustin Edwards, printed a headline that said, "Miristas exterminated like rats." Miristas is the name of the leftist group that Pinochet claimed all of these individuals belonged to.Well, you have to understand that it wasn't just the disappeared in the press. A DINA agent, a secret police agent of Chile, carried these stories to the press. And then El Mercurio, the leading newspaper in Chile, printed a whole editorial basically that could have been written by the Chilean secret police itself, and this is what it said, quote:"The politicians and foreign newsmen who ask themselves so many times about the fate of these leftists and blame the Chilean government for the disappearances of many of them, now have the explanation that they refuse to accept. Victims of their own methods, exterminated by their own comrades – every one of them demonstrates with tragic eloquence that violent people end up falling victims to the blind and implacable terror that they provoke."So it was a whole manipulation of the truth of what had happened, but many Chileans, particularly upper-class Chileans, read this and said, ah-hah, we knew all along that, you know, the left kills each other. Pinochet is clean. He would never do such a thing. BOB GARFIELD:So, in effect, they bought the story. What about the rest of the international community? Was it as easily gulled as the Chilean elites? PETER KORNBLUH:No. And, you know, and this is a story where credit is due. The U.S. press really played an extraordinary role in very quickly unraveling this extraordinary effort to cover up the disappearances of hundreds of Chileans by the Pinochet regime. They very, very quickly were able to say, this is a bizarre set of lies.And it's very interesting, when you read the declassified cable traffic from the embassy, to see the role that these accounts in the U.S. press played in forcing the embassy to actually admit, itself, that the Chilean military had killed these people. BOB GARFIELD:And tell me about today in Chile. In 2006, are oligarchs like Agustin Edwards still the arbiters of what the public will see, hear and read? PETER KORNBLUH:Agustin Edwards still owns El Mercurio. El Mercurio is not the leading newspaper any more. La Tercera is the leading newspaper in Chile now, and it's owned by another wealthy family and also has a whole network of newspapers and radio stations, etcetera.One of the things that has significantly changed in Chile, of course, is that the government is headed by a socialist. And the government does take out advertising in a number of newspapers, and that funding, through government advertising, does help those newspapers be able to print information that is not just controlled by the wealthy Chilean newspaper owners.But by and large, you know, people get their information from television, and so there's still a small but significant segment of the Chilean community who believes that Pinochet's a victim of left-wing propaganda, that he never really committed any human rights atrocities - even to this day, as we have seen recently with Pinochet's funeral.You know, and some of them simply have this "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" view of the Pinochet regime that was fanned by the Chilean media at the height of the dictatorship. BOB GARFIELD:Peter, thank you very much for joining us. PETER KORNBLUH:It's a pleasure to be on the show.

You Can't Have Forever
The old norse prose piece "Völuspá" re-written as a story. A seeress, Kunnandi, is asked by Odin Allfather to tell the history of the world from when the gods created it to Ragnarök, the battle in which everything will be destroyed. You see the story through her eyes and through the POVs of other gods.
The woman stood alone in the golden hall, her dark hair and sharp features making her a contrast to the delicate embellishments that surrounded every inch of the palace. Her long cloak draped onto the floor, clearly advertising every frustrated move she made to command the attention of the regal crowd gathered before her grey eyes.
"Hearing I ask of you, for even though a holy race you may be, I cannot foretell the future to those who can't – or won't– hear me." Improvising, the stranger began to speak, hoping her words would calm the roar of the aggravated gathering. After all she'd always had a way with words.
"You are acting like mortals! Although, now I have witnessed so-called 'Gods' behaving in such a fashion, I understand why mankind has such raucous and ill-mannered ways! After all, are they not the sons of Heimdall, who I see standing there, spyglass in hand, in the corner of this room?" That shut them up. Growing silent, the folk of legend began to cease their seemingly endless bickering.
"Odin Allfather, you bade me come, and yet to greet my presence, I find a debate taking place. Would you rather I left now, without giving you any word of mine, or would you rather greet me properly? I do not bow down to you, Odin, and I never will. The ways of the Völva have long been envied by yourself and your followers, and I only offer my services here today because I have something of great import to grace your unappreciative selves with. I have powers you all would die for. And I will not let you forget that fact." Pleased with her speech, she waited silently for a response.
"Kunnandi, it is surely out of peacemaking that we invited you to honour us with your presence. As you very well know, we-" Odin began, but the outsider snorted in a rude and downright unladylike fashion. She was beyond irritated now, and Odin was not going to make her back down with a couple of well-phrased sentences.
"I have had enough of your empty words, Odin. Do you wish me to recite my tales and my visions of the future, or not?" She snapped. The Allfather sighed. He had dealt with this particular prophetess before, and knew of the power that came along with her sharp tongue.
"I bid you to continue, Kunnandi. Tell us in this gathering of our histories, of Yggdrasil, of Chaos and Order. Tell us of our future, be it tomorrow, or in centuries to come. We wish you no disrespect." At this last statement, the Völva gave a disbelieving laugh, leaving the audience with no doubt exactly what she thought of them.
"If it was up to me, your future would be a short one, leaving these worlds free from the complacent and conceited beings sitting in front of me, and leaving a pure world populated by my elder race." Forgetting that she was meant to be dignified, Kunnandi spat out the words that she had longed to throw at them for many ages.
But it was her destiny to be here and retell her visions. And as much as she wished it to be untrue, it was written in the stars. And so it was that Kunnandi inwardly cursed her horoscope, and addressed the ever-patient immortal seated in a golden throne opposite her.
"You always were a dreamer," another immortal spoke out from the silent crowd, amusement dancing in his voice. "But you can't have forever, Bráðr."
Kunnandi winced as another of her many names was mentioned. Bráðr, meaning hasty, was a title of hers that few knew. She much preferred her current title- Kunnandi meant knowledge, and she wouldn't let anyone forget it. How did this joker hear of Bráðr? The last time it had been used would have been when the Giants were still around…
"Who has the pleasure of addressing me with that title?"
"I. Loki, brother of the wise Allfather seated here." replied the trickster who knew Kunnandi well. Their paths had crossed many times over the past age, although they were never always on the same side in the ages of strife.
Deciding to ignore Loki, Kunnandi pondered where to begin. Her mind raced back through the past, to the very beginning of time. Ah. That was it. She decided to start with how the nine worlds formed- a tale sadly twisted into myth and legend since the truth had been buried for so many long years.
"I was there in the beginning, when Ymir walked the Ginnungap - although the memories I have of that time are hazy and vague, I can still recall enough to let you all reap the benefits. Raised as I was by giants, I can still remember the epic power they wielded, as well as their huge intellect. It was a great heartbreak that most of their race was slaughtered, but-" Kunnandi, swelled with her self-importance, paused for dramatic effect.
Outside, storm clouds began to swell, bringing darkness to the once-bright hall. The Völva, distracted momentarily by the echoes of thunder, lost track of her speech. Heads turned toward the golden ceiling as rain began to pound, the sound reminiscent of a Dwarf mine deep in the Nidavellir Mountains.
"So, as I was saying – the Giants, a race o-" getting back into her role, the Völva broke off as another voice rang out, vibrating clearly around the room.
"And why should we listen to you? What is your role in all of this?"
Kunnandi hissed with impatience, sounding not unlike one of the wildcats that roamed the hills and dales of Midgard. She turned to her adversary, expecting to see a bold god as her challenger, but instead found herself looking at a small, weak-looking goddess. Recognizing her as Sigyn, the prophetess rolled her eyes to the ceiling. She'd heard of Sigyn, of course, she thought grimly, and had a few things to say to the rest of the silent crowd about her supposed innocence. Later, Kunnandi, later. After all, you can't reorder a prophecy for the sake of one interruption.
Accepting that she would have to convince this immortal, the Völva sighed and began to speak again.
"Sigyn, I accept your… miscomprehension about me, but if you let me explain I will enlighten you as to why I play the role I do. You do not speak to Odin in this way, nor do you interrupt his speeches, as he is your elder and better. And yet it does not cross your oh-so-knowledgeable mind that I am older than the Allfather himself. I was there when the earth that we stand on was formed. So, Sigyn, do you now wish to add something to this discussion?"
Kunnandi sniggered internally as the goddess stared wide-eyed and open-mouthed at her. "Let me begin my tale. Maybe then will you learn to respect your betters? I sincerely hope so." remarked Kunnandi
"How will you tell us these tales?" The seeress turned again to Odin as he spoke, his voice powerful and commanding, yet filled with a thirst for knowledge.
"Tell you?" Kunnandi let out a cackle of laughter that was so sudden and unexpected that some of the crowd started with shock. "Tell you? You think I would recount my stories with words? No. I will use one of my gifts. I am going to show you Time itself, from the creation to the end of all things."
Then every god, weak or powerful, fell under the spell of the Völuspá.

Weary feet pace the cracked concrete, uncaring of the gum and the spit that stain its surface. The cars sweep the garbage into the gutters, their restless tires pounding the potholes and tossing pebbles at the homeless, who hug the walls of the downtown vendors beneath vintage graffiti.
Beneath looming towers of rusty brick, standing still and alone on the sidewalk amidst the rush of pedestrians, is a young boy. A small pack sits on his shoulders and his eyes pass easily over the city street. But he is only pausing here, and as a bullet-proof cruiser rounds the corner, he turns and strides steadily in the opposite direction. He calmly passes the rags of the homeless, side-steps a man in flight, and simply ignores the cold stare from the passing cop. But he doesn't walk with the protective stance of a man in danger. Indeed, he is only a boy, and he walks as if down a path through his neighborhood.
He soon joins an unruly crowd on the curb, garnering several suspicious looks as he stops between a large tattooed man and a frail woman with cigarette skin. A city bus arrives in a squeal of dusty fumes. The passengers jostle while afraid to touch, and they file awkwardly into the bus, grumbling over the fare. The boy is last to board, and he smiles and greets the driver as if he knows the man. He then seats himself by a window.
After a moment, a large black man leans over the hard plastic seat. "Aren't you a little young to be traveling alone?" he asks.
The boy shakes his head. "No sir," he says. "I'm a whole nine and a half years old."
"Yes," the man says. "That's what I mean. You're nine years old. These parts of town are dangerous."
The boy shrugs. "These parts of town are my home," he says. "Not gonna live in fear. And I know my way all over town, you know. All the buses. Even at night." He thinks that this will reassure the man, but it only receives a frown.
"Why would you be out alone at night?"
"Exploring," the boy says. "I don't drink like my friends; don't think I ever will."
"Your friends?" asks the man. "Are they as young as you?"
"Well, not really my friends. I just know them." But the boy is only interested in his dreams of exploring. "This one time I found a set of stairs to a rooftop garden. It was so cool up there."
The man gazes at the buildings of crumbling plaster and brick that sit along the street like vacant skulls. He gives a sour smile. "Yes," he says. "I suppose it depends on where you go."
The boy nods. "Some of the condos have nice courtyards; it's easy to climb the fences. I'll live in one of those condos by the river some day."
The man chuckles. "Well," he says. "I don't think you'll be moving out for some time."
"All I need is a job," the boy says. He is serious, and he adds a further statement of conviction. "I hear word that some kitchens are lookin' for washers."
"Now why would you want to wash dishes?" The man is indignant as he grips the seatback with two large hands.
"Just a thought," the boy says. "I gotta find work sometime."
"But you've got your whole life to work! Right now you should be living like a kid and not thinkin' you're some grown up."
The boy smiles. "What's a grown up?" he asks. "Someone who's grown all they want and refuse to grow anymore? That's not me. I've only just begun. I'm gonna get myself outta here soon enough. It won't be long."
The black man rolls back against his seat and folds his arms with a deep throated laugh. The boy moves for the door and the man speaks after him in a voice loud enough for the bus to hear. "You have yourself a good day," he says. "Hey. Stay young. Stay strong."
The boy nods with due respect. "I will."

Odd. Love it!
hoot i nanny
I really like this, almost as much as I like your 'A History of Western Philosophy. With Owls" which I am still bitter at threadless for not printing and still live in hope that it may, eventually, somehow, be printed. Um but yes, I really like this, except for the colour. Maybe if it was a grey owl with a purple or green or red sweater on, maybe if it was a black t-shirt. Hmm. But anyway, please design more awesome owl t-shirts, your illustrations are fantastic :D
And if only that History of Western Philosophy. With Owls tee could be printed, I might die happy :)
Ahaha, so quirky and awesome. :)

Tweet Diary - Decatur Downtown Park kick-off
Citizens of Downtown Decatur are joining together to push the City of Decatur to put more greenspace in the downtown area. Recently, sales of several properties have made greenspace a particular importance since even private greenspace is being converted into commercial developments. While the City Manager's office is resistant, neighbors are joining together to push the issue. Their kick-off meeting was held August 20th at the Decatur Library. Over 40 residents showed up to express concern about the lack of greenspace which actually increases property values when in place. Although, that wasn't a concern for residents, since City of Decatur residents enjoy some of the highest property values in Metro Atlanta, the intrinsic value of parks was of great concern. Park Pride was in attendance and presented on the monetary value of parks. Two Decatur City Commissioners were present along with a representative from the City Manager's office and DeKalb County Commissioner Kathie Gannon.

Tweet Diary - GRC Georgia Glass Recycling Conference
Back in July, many recycling haulers, county governments, and municipalities made announcements that they would stop taking glass in single stream recycling. Some cities like Decatur went back and asked residents if they would be willing to pay more to continue to have glass in their recycling for an additional cost of $25 a year. The answer was a resounding yes.
So what happened? That was one of the purposes of the Georgia Glass Recycling Conference. The conference brought haulers, local governments, recyclers, and manufacturers to inform and find solutions to the current crisis and crisis is indeed what it is.

In downtown Toronto, construction material collapsed at King and John Streets, scattering debris on the roadway and sidewalk. And a few blocks east of Yonge and Bloor streets a swing stage got loose, breaking glass on a balcony.
While the high winds kept cleanup crews busy, there were no reports of any injuries.
Although the wind warnings have since ended for the GTA, 680 NEWS meteorologist Jill Taylor said it will still be breezy on Wednesday with 40-50 km/h winds and higher gusts. She said the wind will diminish in the afternoon.

Before the Bonding
Sighing wearily Cadonus made his way to the bonding cave, yet again Rhagtan Chanu Gwynt had lost a rider, yet again she needed another and yet again they had found someone who was easily expendable. Nikolai. No fighting on a Sunday was one of his newer, and, he thought, more ingenious rules, this man had broke it and so faced the army. He didn't view it as being a particularly harsh punishment but in Skades opinion the man didn't stand a chance. He'd been nervous of her dragon, Nanye, puked at the site of Ragta and nearly been the slowest around the Camp Course that Wallace and Toonick had ever seen.
He cast a sideways glance over at the man in question, Nikolai was walking surlily along beside him, shooting awkward, nervous glances at the dragons. He looked tired and ragged after the day of training, Cadonus shared Skades opinion of the man. He couldn't last.
He looked to the other side of him and smiled at his granddaughter Vellery, she returned it with an equal amount of love and trust in her eyes. Vellery was his pride and joy, many of his advisers thought him a fool for letting her train with Skades army but he knew that when the time came she would be a lovely lady despite her skill with the blade or her keen eye with the bow. Even now she walked with impeccable posture, though he knew she hated to, and kept her place to his right, her face carefully schooled, even the smile she'd given him was polite through the emotions.
As he walked out into the large chamber he turned his head back to face the front. Now it was Nikolais turn to bond with Ragta, with much trepidation he strode to the middle of the room to begin the ceremony.

tl;dr? Read the title and watch this.
The wait is over for many, and I'm 99% certain it's real this time—no more news promising more news or some other BS. Obviously, I'm referring to all us Americans waiting for nearly three years to get back our Full Tilt Poker (FTP) balances that we lost on the day infamously known as Black Friday.
[I'm too lazy to recap the exciting buildup over the past few weeks, so read this.]
Yesterday the FTP Claims Administrator, Garden City Group (GCG), sent out THE email. The one with these magical words:
"Dear Johnny G:
The purpose of this email is to inform you that your Petition for Remission has been approved and you are entitled to receive a distribution from the assets forfeited in connection with United States v. PokerStars, et al., pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
A payment in the amount of $XXXXXXX will be paid electronically via ACH to the bank account that you specified in your Petition. This payment represents the full amount of your Full Tilt Poker Account Balance, which you confirmed on the Full Tilt Poker administration online filing site. Payment will be made within the next seven business days.
If you have any questions, you can call us toll-free at (866) 250-2640, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, or write to us at Full Tilt Poker Claims Administration, c/o GCG, P.O. Box 9965, Dublin, Ohio 43017-5965. For additional information you may also visit the administration website at www.FullTiltPokerClaims.com."
Bink! First wave of payments here I come!
Many people saw a $0.00 "test transaction" in their bank accounts that confirmed they were getting paid. I, however, did not. So I ended up calling the GCG last week and in a quick couple of minutes they told me I was in the first wave, but reading the email feels way better.
Calling the GCG was way easier than I imagined. Even though the person on the other end seemed to be reading straight from the FTP Clams site, they were still competent enough to tell me the status of my petition.
If you have any questions or concerns, CALL THEM! (866) 250-2640
Also check out Chris Grove's article for more info.
Okay, fine, maybe not actually rich, but rich…er?
But seriously, what's next? I'm thinking some type of YPC promo would be appropriate. The details of the Johnny G's Tilt Money (working title) promotion have yet to be determined so this is—regrettably—merely a tease. It depends how much positive feedback I get from this post—HINT HINT.
I've already started planting the proverbial seeds for a FTP Claims promo with this week's #YPCtwittertrivia question.
Finally, I must apologize to some of you. I will not be quitting my job to return to the world of professional online poker. You're all stuck with me for now. Sorry.

Harvey Awards confusion leads to response from Zdarsky, others
Last week's announcement of the Harvey Awards nominees was, as usual, accompanied by controversy. This time it wasn't the domination of Valiant (20 nominations) and Boom/Archaia, but rather just why certain books and people were even eligible.
For starters there was the "Most Promising New Talent" category which included the following:
Jen Van Meter explores the First "New" Valiant Leading Lady in the Death-Defying Dr. Mirage
By Alexander Jones The Death-Defying Dr. Mirage Issue #1 marked an important change in the history of Valiant Comics.

text: I am watching Most Haunted Live on (ironically) LIVING TV. It got me thinking about ghosts, and naturally at this time of year we hear spooky stories. I was wondering does anybody have a story of when they believed they saw a ghost? Or do you not believe in them FULLSTOP? Just thought it might be an interesting topic for this Halloween Time! The only time that I saw something unusal was when I was a Kid (only 5 or 6). I moved into a new house in the countryside, in a small village. The house used to belong to a man and his mother. He lived there until his mother died a few years prior to selling the house. It was within the first week of moving in that I saw or dreamt about an old woman sitting at the bottom of my bed peeling an orange. She looked like a stereotypical granny, and wasnt scary beacause she had a very kind face with a huge smile. I told my parents of this when I was on the way to school the next day, they both took the mickey and made out I was only dreaming. (which I was pretty sure of). But a month after the man who used to live in the house came to say hello and showed us old pictures of the house. One of the photos was taken in my room, and to my suprise there was the very same woman I had dreamt about sitting in a chair where my bed is now. She was smiling in the same way, she didnt have an orange in her hands though (so I still dont know the significance of that). But both my parents picked up on it too. And echoed my description of the old women in my dreams. I dont know what to make of it to this day! I really dont believe in Ghosts, BUT I cant explain what I saw or dreamt? Maybe it is pure coincidence. Who knows? Whats your stories?

Personalized, compassionate care for adults with chronic mental illnesses
Appleton specializes in comprehensive diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitative care for adults ages 18 and over who have a primary diagnosis of psychosis and/or bipolar disorder and may also have co-occurring substance use, mood, personality, or anxiety disorders. We provide personalized care that helps individuals understand, accept, and effectively manage their illnesses so they can learn to live as independently as possible.
Our treatment approach is based on a recovery model comprised of five phases designed for flexibility so that residents may progress through the program at their own pace. Working with the guidance of a designated clinical social worker and a treatment team of psychiatrists, an occupational therapist, psychiatric nurses, and community residence counselors, residents move forward by incrementally building on skills and accomplishments.
This process begins with Phase I, which involves understanding and stabilizing the illness and related symptoms as well as establishing therapeutic relationships with the resident's treatment team. In Phase II, the treatment team assesses the resident's capabilities and focuses on implementing a daily routine, identifying goals, and enhancing social skills needed for recovery. Using occupational therapy assessments for guidance, Phase III assesses the resident's ability to function in the surrounding community. Individuals at this stage may begin to do volunteer work or take a continuing education class. During Phase IV, the resident is able to resume ongoing educational and vocational activities utilizing new skills acquired in the previous steps. During Phase V, the individual solidifies accomplishments in functioning within the community and begins to work with clinicians to develop aftercare strategies.
Our group therapy schedule focuses on illness education and is a central part of our program, offering 20 groups per week that cover a range of specialized topics such as symptom management, self-assessment, medication evaluation and management, family issues, interpersonal skills, and more. Individual and group therapy incorporate evidence-based modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). CBT teaches that if individuals can change their thoughts, they will change their responses to and perceptions of the world. DBT emphasizes the development of four skill sets: mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. These strategies have been proven to help individuals build more constructive thoughts and behaviors.
In addition to individual therapy within the program, we advise each resident to meet with an outpatient psychotherapist once or twice each week, which we help to arrange either at McLean or in the Greater Boston community.
We take a holistic approach to treatment, recovery, and well-being, placing a special emphasis on stress management, overall health, fitness, and nutrition. This includes incorporating activities such as meditation, yoga, nutritional support, gardening, and expressive therapies into our group schedule. Residents also have access to our on-campus fitness center, a certified trainer, and nearby athletic club.
Also included in our treatment approach are life skills groups, which include activities such as cooking and food shopping trips as well as community outings to bookstores, cafes, bowling alleys, malls, and museums. Weekly community outings are designed to build skills, support, and independence. We also take longer seasonal trips to places such as Martha's Vineyard, Rockport, and Newport, Rhode Island.
We encourage residents to attend self-help groups on the McLean campus, including a Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance meeting offered a few times each week. For those with co-occurring substance use disorders, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, and SMART Recovery meetings are available. McLean's College Mental Health Program is also a good resource for young adults in need of support and group therapy.
Family and friends play a significant role in treatment, recovery, and long-term success. We meet with family members at the beginning of treatment, provide ongoing updates and consultations throughout a resident's stay, and work together to identify community resources and opportunities for growth when developing an aftercare plan.
After completing the program, some individuals return to live with family, others step down to a community-based residence, while some move to a supported apartment. Each resident leaves with improved skills for a lifetime of future growth and development.

Horseradish-and-Herb-Crusted Beef Rib Roast
The inspiration for this delicious roast comes from chef John Besh's father-in-law, Pat Berrigan, who serves it every Christmas with horseradish sauce on the side. Besh opts to smear the roast with a horseradish, garlic and herb butter, which bakes to form an irresistible crust.
Slideshow:More Centerpiece Roasts
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
- 2 sticks unsalted butter, softened
- 1 head of garlic, cloves coarsely chopped
- 1 cup prepared horseradish
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped thyme
- 3 tablespoons chopped rosemary
- 3 tablespoons chopped sage
- One 16-pound rib roast of beef
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 325°. In a food processor, combine the butter with the garlic, horseradish, thyme, rosemary and sage and process to a paste.
Stand the roast in a very large roasting pan. Season generously all over with salt and pepper and set it fatty side up. Spread the horseradish-herb butter all over the top. Bake for about 3 1/2 hours, until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 125° for medium rare. Transfer the roast to a carving board to rest for at least 20 minutes or for up to 1 hour before serving.
Make Ahead
The horseradish-herb butter can be refrigerated overnight. Let the butter soften before using.
If making Pat's Popovers, reserve 3 tablespoons of the beef fat from the roasting pan.
Suggested Pairing
This impressive rib roast will pair well with a substantial Cabernet Sauvignon; Cabernet's firm tannins help cut the richness of red meat, and its slight herbal edge makes a nice partner to the herb-horseradish crust.

FOX Racing Shox 34 Float 27.5 130 CTD FIT Fork
If your local trail system is anything like our Northern Utah locales, then you're no doubt seeing a lot of six inch plus bikes on terrain where they aren't necessarily, well, necessary. Given the nature of suspension, these enduro monsters also typically have a fork with at least an inch more travel, but we find that the five inches of FOX Racing Shox's 34 Float 27. 5 130 CTD FIT Fork are more than ample for handling everything from ski resort runs to techy singletrack. The extra travel of those bottomless, borderline DH bikes only serves to make us travel more slowly. Returning devotees will be pleased to notice the changes made to FOX's Climb, Trail, Descend CTD damper. The Trail setting now has seven sub settings, as opposed to the previous three, so there are virtually no terrain coverage gaps in the fork's median settings. Climb and descend remain unchanged, focusing on speed going up and plush compression coming down. Like recent generations of FOX's Factory series forks, the FLOAT controls its stroke with the venerable FOX Isolated Technology FIT damper. And, unlike a traditional open bath system, the FIT design partitions the damper fluid in an air tight bladder. This prevents contamination, which improves the consistency of the damper on long descents. The 34 FLOAT's stanchions have been redesigned from the inside out to provide a smoother surface for the Kashima coating to adhere to. Since the surface is smoother, the Kashima is smoother, and this smooth fest is accented with a lower friction lubricating oil, for reduced friction and better small bump compliance all around. Kashima is still harder than standard stanchion coatings, so you'll enjoy a longer wear life and more supple suspension action.

Well this is one of my angry rants at the cagy society we live in, the widespread politics and powerplay that ruins people's lives, and how everyone thinks that they have more rght on us than we do ourselves.
In this world that you call your own
Every step that I take, I am told that I am wrong
What I do, thinking that I am right,
You say that it is wrong, it is simply wrong.
If I am wrong then who is right?
just who is right?
Why is it that I have to ask you about how I should live life in my own terms?
Do you mean to tell me that you have more right on me than I have on myself?
Who are you to take away my rights?
Who are you to question my every step?
Who are you to withhold my rights from me, my freedom from me?
I don't owe you anything, so since when do you own me?
Hiding behind the tyrants and widespread treachery,
why are you strangling my habits, my lifestyle?
You can't cure yourself of your cancerous disease,
How do you profess to cure me?
I don't have manners, I belong to a dingy street not worthy of your attention.
There's no finesse in me, no shame to drown myself in.
Why are you so eager to chain me in rituals I don't undertsand?
Is it a crime to be myself? To not care about what makes no sense to me?
Your only responsibility is to catch hold of those who don't conform,
Those who take a path less travelled, and shame them,
Set them on fire and watch them die inch by inch in front of your eyes.
My mind tells me otherwise.
It tells me to live by my own terms or die trying.
I know the moment I give in, I would be dead before my body dies.
You call yourself the protector of nature,
The protector of all things weak and necessary.
Why don't you see that it is I who is weak, who is important,
Not your meaningless rites and rituals,
Not your archaic society. But no, you tear me to pieces, shred by shred
Watching me writhe in pain, enjoying the drama unfolding in front of you.
Why do you try to teach me the truth,
when Truth itself can't hear anything beyond your lies?
Your fear, your love, your praise and respect....Keep it all,
Keep it all and laugh at me becauce I don't value it any longer.
You were supposed to guide me, but you made me an outcast.
You were to hold my hand, applaud my efforts when I broke traditions,
Proved it to others that doing what I liked was the best way to live life.
How can you speak against treason when you play with vulnerable minds,
When you crush innocent hearts?
How can I follow you when my dreams make me a traitor in your eyes?
