Next to the sectional is a full bathroom, pool table and another slider that exits to the hot tub. The kids love the pool table which is located at the other end of the dining area. Adults can socialize at the table, and kids can play pool without bothering each other. Summer or winter, morning or evening, you'll enjoy the peace and solitude from any part of the house.
Off the living area is the Master Bedroom. This room is HUGE. It has the high A frame ceilings and feels like a separate cabin. Besides feeling like you're in a separate cabin, it is quiet and private from the living area. This is a great spot for kids or infants napping yet being close to your activities.

I've been vacation renting homes in Lake Tahoe for 20 years. I cater to family's and large groups that want a comfortable home to feel at home in.
My homes provide this. They have all the amenities including hot tubs and pool tables. The kitchens are well stocked, high end bedding, views, and open floor plans offer you a great home to stay in.
Alpine Ventures purchased this house in 2007
Nice layout home with extra large bedrooms in great, quiet neighborhood yet close to all the attractions on the Lake. The neighborhood is a destination for locals who know about the trails for hiking and biking.
I love where the house is on the Lake. You are right in the middle of the North Shore, with easy access to all of Lake Tahoe. The Lake is 3 miles, casinos, 3.5, Northstar 4, Reno 35 minutes, and South Shore is 40 and FUN to go to in the summertime. Skiing is everywhere. I ski at Alpine and Squaw and to drive there from the house, I go the back way and eliminate all the traffic in Tahoe City. I can get there in 20 min's., and is an easy drive.
The restaurants and shops on the lake speak for themselves. But...Northstar is my new hangout! The Village is beautiful!
There is a big ice-skating rink surrounded by bars, tiki torches and outdoor couches with fire pits. Around this are shops and restaurants and then the ski lifts. It reminds be of Vail. In the summertime the ice becomes roller skating with the same ambiance.
You can't beat the neighborhood here. Walking the trails is a twice daily event. There are maintained by the forest service and easy to follow. You can walk to Agate bay, or even Tahoe City if so inclined. Because the area is just up from the Lake, most of the trails have panoramic views of the Lake.
The house is super comfortable and I love walking out the back door and being in the meadow with tall pines. The smell of the forest permeates the house and its quiet, peaceful, and visually soothing.
What a bonus to show up to such a lovely house. We celebrated my 60 ith birthday and really enjoyed the house, neighborhood and all the amenities. Thank you.
The Deagans
This was the perfect landing spot for our vacation.Everything about it was spectacular. Location to slopes, beautiful views, and very spacious for our group of 6 couples. Well appointed. Beds very comfortable and family room a big plus for a group our size. The size of the house providing a great mix of common areas large enough to fit us all and private areas when everyone wanted quiet/down time.
We ate around the large dining room table and enjoyed sweet fellowship. The kitchen was very well-stocked, providing everything we needed to make a variety of different meals. The furnishings were nice and comfortable, the house was clean.
Hot tub a treat for after skiing - views to die for. We had zero complaints - everything was perfect!
We certainly will come back and enjoy this most special house in Lake Tahoe
We booked a very special occasion with my family and I don't think we could have picked a better house. It had everything we needed and more. Beautiful neighborhood, beautiful view, it was just perfect. Our family will never forget our experience and we look forward to doing this again soon.
..worked perfect for us. Large house, comfortable King beds. Stocked kitchen, big dining room table, excellent location. Will return.
The Timberhaus was absolutely perfect for us. It's so hard to find a house suited for a large family with couples, singles, and kids. We were very pleased with the layout and the location couldn't have been better. There is a huge Safeway close by for groceries, walking distance to a wonderful beach. We spent our days there and didn't have to pack a lunch.
Kitchen, bathrooms all we stocked and bedrooms and beds were super comfortable. Owner was very attentive and accommodating. It was the best summer vacation so far and the house will be missed.
My extended family spent a short lived week at this house and we had a fabulous time. Since we were mostly adults, having 5 bedrooms with king beds was really nice. Big open living area and a nice deck with BBQ were used often. Good neighborhood with lots of trails. Close to all. We hope to return
We enjoyed our stay at the Timber Haus. It was smaller than we visualized, but cozy. Large enough for all 15 of us! Fully equipped with everything you need in a kitchen. Bathroom and laundry supplies were enough to get us through the first couple of days. The neighbors were fantastic. Very friendly and helpful when needing help attaching chains to the tires on our rental van. We are looking forward to our next stay. Mahalo!
This house is in the middle of the Northshore and has easy access to all Lake Tahoe has to offer. 1.5 miles from the highway, getting around the Tahoe Basin is effortless. The drive around the Lake is breathtaking and you'll enjoy the different little towns that surround the Lake. . The house is in a quiet pocket of homes just up from the Lake at Kings Beach. All the homes here sit on a meadow with tall pine trees, and the roads dead end at the hiking trails. Winter and summer they are used and maintained by the forest service. It borders the Tahoe Rim trail which is a destination for some with endless hiking trails you can access from the house. Brockway Summit is well know for its path to Tahoe City, and Watson Lake is worth hiking too. You can walk in the summertime to our neighborhood park, North National Park. The park encompasses approximately 124 acres of predominantly active recreational activities. An 18 par fitness course, ball fields, Frisbee Golf, playground are just a few options. In the wintertime they offer a nice sledding hill for tubing and snow fun. Within 20 min to all the ski resorts on the North Shore, Northstar in the closest and newest village. The village was modeled after Beaver Creek Colorado...cobblestone sidewalks, copper roofs and a multitude of restaurants and shops that line the 'square'. The square is an ice skating rink in the wintertime and roller skating in summer. The bon fire pits and outdoor bars are always there. Its a wonderful setting to hang out at especially at night. Skiing here is family orientated with lots of ski programs for all ages, and a pristine mountain that keeps a good grasp on good snow conditions. If your staying a week, I highly recommend taking advantage of the other resorts also. A bonus is from the house you can drive the back way to Alpine and Squaw Valley which will eliminate the morning traffic through Tahoe City. Both mountains have tons of excellent skiing, and mountain biking in the summertime. MT Rose is where to go for open terrain, Diamond Peak for kids and an easy day skiing. Both are 15 min to the house. In the summertime, Kings Beach just down the street is a State Park with lifeguard and lake toys to rent. The beach is the highlight with wide sandy beaches, and views you have to experience to appreciate. There are also smaller beaches up and down the strip for reading a book, and dog beaches for your loved ones. Brockway golf course in Kings Beach is a must for those that just want a good time. One of the top 9 hole courses in California, its known for its yardage and views. In the wintertime it becomes a snowmobiling park. Tahoe City is 12 miles away and offers another nice city with shops, restaurants and outdoor venues. The Truckee River is our playground for fishing, river rafting, and bike baths to view all. A nice day is renting your bike in Tahoe City and riding to River Ranch. This is a river front restaurant with large outdoor patio at the entrance to Alpine Meadows. Here is where the river tours end and usually where the rafts have issues. You can spend the day here watching the rafters and enjoying their menu and drink. Between the location , amenities of the house, and your favorite family or friends, you'll have a great home to stay at while getting a true Lake Tahoe experience.

Thrice - To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere
Thrice are a band that I have been advised about for many moons, but until recently I have never actually heard (at least not knowingly). Again, you can see the amount of bands that I (& the other bloggers on here) review in a year that sometimes we miss bands and artists. In the case of Thrice, by the time I first heard of them in 2014, they were in hiatus after performing from 1999 till 2012. Over that time, they had released eight studio albums, two live albums, five EPs and two compilations albums. That is a good body of work by any bodies books, no matter which way you look at it. So after all of this time, you might be wondering why I decided to check out this album. Well, I happened to hear the song "Black Honey" which was released as a single, whilst I was looking for songs to play on my radio show. Without wanting to give my opinion before the main section of the review, the song engaged my attention straight away and was included on the next show. After that initial impact I have been sort of playing catch up over the last few weeks in between reviews, trying to get up to speed with Thrice before they released this album. But it is now released and I have my copy in the house next to me, spinning away as I review this. I have to say, the artwork for the vinyl is spot on and I love the attention to detail, it looks absolutely beautiful and the photographs are fascinating. So it is time to find out how the album has turned out? Well, let us find out......
Starting the album "Hurricane" which starts with a strumming of an acoustic guitar and then explodes in a post hardcore/grunge noise that does not explode, but it certainly brings a fair degree of drama to the proceedings. The song is about a relationship that is hit by conflict and the search for a solution (or sanctuary) from the destructive forces currently circling them; musically it changes between gentler verses and loud chorus section, with a slow and methodical drumming that aide in the sudden changes when required. As an opening track, it is one that is easy on the ears and that reintroduces the band to their fans by showing that they are still capable of creating a fantastic song and for newbies (such as myself after a quick crash course) it is a dynamic and interesting song that can make the hairs on your neck stand to attention. "Blood On the Sand" follows on, this time dealing with fear and how it can make humans do things that in a normal and rational made would seem so illogical. Lyrically it is a hard hitting song, it does not take any prisoners and it shows tension can be exploited and make people act so out of character. Musically, it is very catchy with a heavy bass rumbling throughout the song and the distortion peddle is never too far away to add some dynamic to the song as well with a mixture of grunge and post hardcore sensibilities. "The Window" is a song about being given to new experiences beyond what you know, about having a light shined onto what you know and trying to make sense of the new and explain it to other people. It is played out that the person in the song already knowns that there is more than one room, messages on the wall, the fixations with the light coming through the curtains and the realisation that the writing on the wall is in his own hands. Once again, it is a dynamic post hardcore piece, relying on heavier chorus sections and lighter verse, as well as different time signatures for the verse which are more frantic to the chorus which are full of hope and in a standard 4/4-time signature. "Wake Up" is a song about the fight about being lazy and letting the world take more and you giving less. It is something that I am sometimes guilty of myself, so I can identify with this song on many levels. It once again the band have lent the quite/loud dynamic, which the employ with brilliant effect. At this point, nothing has really exploded out of the box, but each song (including "Wake Up") cannot be accused of being predictable and boring – so far, so good!
"The Long Defeat" (a phrase borrowed from "The Return of the King" by J.R.R. Tolkien) is a song about is a song about fighting a long and gruelling battle that you can never hope to can victory, just small periods of grace and sunshine before the inevitable passing and death. The music suits the mood of the song, it is not a song of pleasantries and sunshine, but there is hope in the lyrics and even though there is an awareness in the music and lyrics – you can sense the fighting spirit of the band. It is such a gem of a song, a beautiful and fragile number that can stand tall next to any of the band's catalogue. Next is a brief interlude song called "Seneca" which acts as a short rest bite from all of the drama and of the first half of the album. It is a nature coda to "The Long Defeat", but over so soon and it could have been expanded. The following song is the one that started my interest in this review – "Black Honey". The title has a lot of meanings, it could be about the greed that surrounds oil & money, the culture of take that surrounds humanity and the inability of some people to understand why they are attacked when all they do is take or it is a metaphor to the foreign policy of the USA (but to be honest, it could be any Government of the world – the UK itself is hardly blameless). The lyrics are so simple, but some of the most effective I have heard in many years; but it is backed up with the best Alternative Rock song of 2016, I cannot see anything changing that and I say that after releases from some of the supposed royalty of the genre. That riff, the clear guitars, the bass that hits the heart like a shockwave, the drums which add to the drama and the vocals all combine to make a perfect storm which takes this band to greater heights. It was this song along that made me pre-order the album, it still has that initial impact with each listen and I reckon it could be my personal top song of 2016.
But it is not all downhill from here, not one bit as the band follow up with "Stay with Me"; this song deals with a couple who are thrown together by a war and one of them is questioning what will happen after everything is said and done. It really could be about most situations that couples can face from time to time, but I understand the story behind the song. It is a beautiful little number, with a certain degree of pleading and fear in the mix of love and tenderness. It takes the drama back a little, it is still there in the lyrics a little bit; but it is the post hardcore gentle touch reminds me of Far/Jonah Matranga a little, with a subtle edge to some of the phrases and it is just the right step for the album – everything has a place and this song is placed perfectly. "Death from Above" is another condemnation of the American war machine, this time about drone attacks and the effects it has on the pilots and the victims of the attacks. It is a damning story, the music is as chaotic as the lyrics; it is all edgy and angular with sharp choruses, slower and verse and some periods where the mind just gives out due to the sheer amount of stress and pressure on the subject. I like the song, but it is the only one which I have not full clicked with – still a damn good number though, but it is a grower. The penultimate song of the album is called "Whistleblower" which deals with people who have let out the secrets of our Government and their spying techniques, it is another protest song that contains an important message. Musically, it is as good as anything else on this album with a great riff that gives the song a dual life – one as an important anthem against the people in power and that they should be held accountable for their actions, plus it can also be a song that you can lose your shit to when it is played live – a win/win situation. "Salt & Shadow" ends the album on a sombre note, musically it is very different from anything else on the album. With a sound that is akin to the more melodic moment of the last album by Anathema, it deals with being disconnected from the world or a situation; be it a bad friendship, a broken relationship, awaiting the sad passing of a loved one or having to deal with arseholes. There is a fractured beauty to this song, it is like a broken mirror that has the sunlight hitting it and you can see the lights hitting the wall – it is pretty, but it is still broken. It is the obvious ending track to this album, bring a curtain down in a very fitting way.
I think it is obvious that I am a fan of this album, I mean that it is one of the best Alternative albums I have heard so far this year and it just gets better with each listen. Every track is a song that can be took on a few different levels, there is a fighting spirit to the music and it has some of the bravest lyrics I have heard in a while. It is not afraid to wear its beliefs on its sleeve, it has some of the best riffs of 2016 and I am scared this is going to become the love letter of sorts to Thrice. Long story short, this is a brilliant album and one that I know will be making my list of 2016 – check it out, you will not regret it & sorry it took me so long to get to the party.
10 out of ten – This is proof that there is a God
Top track – Black Honey

Breaking news has hit the dance scene in New York today, with the revelation that the legendary Ibiza nightclub Space will be making it's way to NYC! Voted the "Best Global Club" by the International Dance Music Awards, as well as the "World's Best Club" by DJMAG.com, the iconic club Space will be opening around 50th and 12th Avenue (not too far from the NYC version of the other famous Ibiza club). The capacity of this new venue alone is reported to hold 13,000 people!
Not much else is known at the moment, but we can only hope to see the famous Terrace parties and residencies known for bringing the legendary nightclub to life, ranging from some of the biggest artists in every genre of the industry, like Armin Van Buuren, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin, and Mark Knight, to name a few.
Stay tuned for more details! Until then, check out some highlights from this past season at Space Ibiza!

Tell FCC to stop Paywalls that could take Free and Open Internet away.
Is your favorite news site behind a paywall or going behind one in the future? If so,you are not alone.With in the past few year many newspaper publications are trying a new business model to charge for content online but they don't realize that these paywalls are taking the openness and freedom away from the internet. What is a paywall?
A paywall blocks access to a web page with a screen requiring payment and most news media sites are erecting them because their ad revenue is down and they think charging users/readers will help increase revenue but a survey from this source http://stateofthemedia.org/2011/mobile-survey/ shows that nearly 3/4 of the people said they would not pay for news online but news publishers are still not listening.So who has or who will have a paywall on their site.Some have full paywalls,some have metered models which limit you 5-30 pages a month before asking you to pay a subscription to continue reading.
Ones who have paywalls: NYTimes,Financial Times,Dallas Morning News,The Times(UK),The Wall Street Journal,and a dozen news sites have a paywall from Journalism Online llc "Press+" which is urging 1500 other news publications and websites to use a paywall.
Who will have a paywall:Boston Globe,The Telegraph in Britain,SF Chronicle,1500 news media sites who signed with "Press+",and a dozen are testing a paywall from Google.Yes Google is getting into this as well and sadly paywalls pose a threat in the near future to ending the open and free internet we all love and making it into a closed and expensive internet we would hate.
So why is the news media charging online now? Because the newspaper industry is dying out and more people are using their computer,cellphone,or mobile device to get their news and because AD revenue is not helping them make money.Why is ad revenue not helping the news industry? Well for one thing they don't draw any attention to the reader and ads are built to interest,attract,and draw the readers attention not annoy them.TV ads,Business ads,food ads,and local ads usually do the best in my opinion.The other reason why they are charging is to preserve the quality of the content and journalism which makes no since to anyone including me.The best way to make content and journalism great quality is to read it,not pay for it.The internet is built to be free and open like the FCC but is a paywall keeping internet free and open? I don't think so.I would say they are making internet closed and locked up until you pay for it.
If you want free news online on your favorite news source like you always had until it asked you to pay for it with the paywall or more importantly a free and open internet.I urge you to stand up today and tell the FCC and or Congress to make laws that tear down or stop paywalls from taking affect and encourage the News media to use better ad revenue models by putting up better ads that draw attention to the reader.Please sign this petition so we can save our money for something better. So tell the FCC or if you want to tell Congress that you are fed up with these paywalls popping up on your favorite news source you follow everyday.

We are loyal readers to online news and journalism.We respect and value news content and journalism but we are not happy with the new business model of putting up a paywall when we would normally get the news online for free.Paying for quality content and reading quality content are two different things.Quality content and or journalism can be free on the internet.We urge you to urge news media and newspaper sources to change their business model by please telling them to tear down their paywall and to go back to the regular ad revenue business model that works.
We know the news industry is struggling during the recession/financial crisis and the reason is most people are going to digital devices like computers,mobile devices,and cellphones for the news and we know ad revenues are going down but a Pew Research showed that 3/4 of the survey takers said they would not pay for the news online.Smaller opinion polls from other websites show just about same thing with a vast majority of the people not wanting to pay for news online.Many people who use to read your news for free either went to a free news media site or watched it on television in fact when you announced putting up a paywall, many comments said that they opposed the plan and that they would find news else where for free.The reason people won't pay for news online is because the internet is built to be free,open,and unlimited and we enjoy it that way for the past two decades and paywalls actually devalue quality content because less people read it.Why you are not getting enough ad revenue is because the ad isn't attractive or it doesn't draw the public's attention and a ad should be built to attract and draw attention to your readers.I suggest popular movie ads,food ads,shopping ads,or even ads for the local area.Ads should be built to attract the reader not annoy the reader and ads should be built help provide revenue for the news media in order to keep it going.
The best way for content and journalism to be quality content is to read it,not pay for it and the more people read and share your content,the better quality it becomes.We want to read the news content for free and we hate to go to other sources but with the paywall many have fled to read news elsewhere and it doesn't need to be that way.We urge you to tear down or abolish the paywall business model and replace it with attractive advertisements.That would be a great business model that will make us happy.We hope you take time to read this and remember reading makes the quality in content,Paying doesn't so I urge you to make laws that end paywalls and enhance better advertisements for news media sites to help them with revenue.Thank you and please keep the internet free forever.

We've been crafting products that can stand the test of time since our founder, Leon Leonwood Bean, first started making and testing his original pair of boots back in 1912.
Every day, L.L.Bean products are ripped, pulled, doused, smashed and subjected to countless integrity tests in our state-of-the-art, 4,000-square-foot Freeport lab. Five full-time testing technicians and 1,200 field testers (from Alaska to Costa Rica) strive to stand by L.L.'s promise to test every product in the field before placing it on the market.
In this video clip, Andy, a Casco Bay Lines deckhand and L.L.Bean product tester, puts our Katahdin Iron Works Insulated Sweatshirt to the test—in the winter weather of coastal Maine, no less.
And Tom, one of our lab technicians, puts the classic L.L.Bean Boot through rigorous testing before it hits the shelves.
Do you have an L.L.Bean product that has stood the test of time? Share your story with us in the comments below. For every comment, we'll donate $1 to the National Park Foundation through our Million Moment Mission.

The majority of the article applies to any screen-based design workflow—whether your design tool is Sketch, Photoshop, Affinity, Figma, or something else. I highly recommend Marc Edwards's articles, as he has perfected a Photoshop workflow that streamlines working across pixel densities. Look through his articles here.
When setting type in Photoshop, "Points" are effectively pixels. 14pt text is 14px tall. It's confusing because they share the same name, but…
…Points on a screen are different from Points as a typographic unit of measurement.
Type points are a fixed size—1/72 of an inch. Screen-based points (used for Apple devices) are only similar in the name, and they vary in their physical size. Apple probably should have chosen a different name for their density-independent unit, as a "Point" now has two unit-related meanings. Practically speaking, I have never found typographic Points to be used in screen-based design. It's just Pixels and pixel-density-indenpendent units like Apple's Points or Android's DIPs, which easily convert to Pixels.

Police Officer Micah Brown succumbed to injuries sustained two weeks earlier, when his patrol car was struck by a hit-and-run driver. He had responded to a theft-in-progress call at the Lakewood rail station in Altanta, Georgia.
The collision occurred when the suspect driver ran a red light at the intersection of Lee Street and Donnelly Avenue. The collision resulted in Officer Brown's patrol car to strike a concrete pillar.
Officer Brown was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital where he died of his injuries.
The driver of the vehicle fled the scene after the accident, but with the help of witnesses, was arrested later that same day and charged with several crimes related to the hit-and-run.
Officer Brown had served with the MARTA Transit Police Department for two years.

Every year when it comes to preparing pumpkin puree for autumn desserts, it's the same story. The amount of puree that I make is so big that after that, I have to think of new recipes and ways to use it. Last year the same thing happened when I prepared the beautiful Impossible Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes, so the surplus of puree had to be spent on White Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles.
This year I began making the pumpkin puree when I made Pumpkin Lasagna, but of course, there was so much puree left that I had to think of other recipes to put it in. Luckily, I didn't need much time to solve this problem. These days on Pinterest there were so much beautiful photos of Pumpkin Cookies that the dilemma was very quickly solved. The surplus of pumpkin puree will be spent on Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Cookies!
Of course, when you begin looking for inspiration, you can always find a few recipes, and then you can spend a few hours analyzing what you could use from every one of them. I especially liked Alyssa's idea on the phenomenal blog Recipe Critic. She filled these already adorable cookies with cheese filling. Gorgeous. However, my Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Cookies look in the end, one thing is sure, they will be also filled with cream cheese filling.
And so, as soon as you form the idea in your head, everything else is "a piece of cake". Very quickly, the kitchen smelled like pumpkins and with the smell of pumpkin, the interested heads of my inmates became visible.
"Something with pumpkin again? The lasagna was fantastic. Is this something similar?" my husband was very interested.
But he wasn't so happy when he heard that today he would eat cookies.
"Just 'simple' cookies? Pity about the pumpkins. There were so many good recipes you could have tried. But OK, I'll take anything at this moment "
But how big the disappointment with the cookies was, was best told by the fact their numbers were halved in only 15 minutes
"Ok, Ok, I admit my mistake" was the only thing my husband answered to the questions why "the simple cookies" are disappearing in that velocity. He just went on gulping the Snickerdoodle Pumpkin Cookies.
And if you like cookies and pumpkins also, here is a recipe that is worthy thinking about. You surely won't regret it !!!
Yields 24
Soft and gooey pumkin snickerdoodle cookies with creamy cheesecake filling.
1 hr, 30
15 min
1 hr, 45
33/4 cups all-purpose flour
11/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup pumpkin puree
1 large egg
2 tsp. vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese- softened
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and set aside.
- Beat together butter and sugars until fluffy.
- Mix in pumpkin puree, an egg and vanilla.
- Slowly add dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until combined. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least an hour.
- Blend cream cheese, sugar and vanilla together and chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
- Preheat oven to 350F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl combine sugar and cinnamon for coating.
- To make the cookies flatten like a pancake 1 Tablespoon of cookie batter, place 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese in center. Take another tablespoon of the cookie batter and flatten it like a pancake, place on top of the cream cheese, seal the edges together and really gently roll into a ball, then roll the ball into the cinnamon -sugar mixture and place on the lined baking sheet. Keep at least 2 inches apart between balls. Press the cookie balls with heavy bottomed glass to flatten it (you can sprinkle some extra cinnamon-sugar mixture on top)
- Bake the cookies for 10-15 minutes (until they are slightly firm to the touch and the tops start to crack) Cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes and then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

- What gluten free flour would you recommend for these cookies, that would keep the same texture? I was thinking maybe a rice flour and almond flour blend would be good.
- These look adorably delicious. Snickerdoodle, cheesecake combo?! Genius. I wanted to reply to Marista about GF flour. We do a bit of GF baking at the bakery I work at and have found Namista GF flour blend is the hands down the best. (it's in a brown and purple bag and can be found at Wegman's or Costco) We swap it out cup for cup with regular flour and have not had a single problem with any recipe. I have found rice flour to be super sandy/gritty and almond flour to add a bit too much fat. Red Mills GF flour was ehh. I thought it changed the batters to be too thick. Best of luck! Keep up your hard work Vera!
- Wow, these cookies look incredible!! Love your website!
- I wanna make these for a pumpkin carving party this Friday but with my long work days, I only have time tomorrow, (Tuesday). I'm concerned about the cheese filling; would these be safe on the counter, in a container, for a few days or would they need to be in the fridge. And would that ruin their taste? Thank you so much for what I'm sure will be a delicious recipe!
- Hi Vera! thank you for this phantastic recipe. I have tried to make the Pumpkin Puree (which I didn´t know before and which I asked you at the comment for your "Pumpkin Swirled Cheesecakes (Mini)) - and I changed my mind and decided to make these Cookies first. They are great!!! And everyone I offer them was excited!!! I write over them on my Blog: http://makemorehappythings.blogspot.de/ and I have linked your Blog. I was often asked for the recipe. Would it be okay for you if I post the german translation of your recipe with link and copyright by/to omgchocolatedesserts.com?
- These look so good!! I am making them for a Thanksgiving potluck. Do you think the dry mix and the cream cheese mix would be ok in the fridge overnight (opposed to just one hour)? Trying to save myself time the night before the event.Thank you!
- hi, do you have to flatten with a glass before baking? I have never done that before just Baked in the ball form & they spread out themselves. Didn't know if you had to because of them being stuffed. Thanks!
- A lot of work.Kinda bland even put some pumpkin pie seasoning in cookie batter.Maybe I made cookies too big and too much dough.Dough hard too work with sticky used powered sugar.It did help.I did refrigerate for a little more than a hour.Put bowl in frig in between batches. Last batch put Cream cheese on top and baked tasted better that way.Will not make again.
- can I ship these cookies, it could take 3 or 4 days........I am in california to west virginia..thank you.. mary
- Hi! Is the flour 3 3/4 cups or 3/4 cup? There is no space so I was wondering if it was a typo.Looks delicious, I hope I can try them this fall!

This story was previously available in the anthology Cuddling from Dreamspinner Press. Now you can get it solo! If you haven't read it, think about giving it a try. It's a sweet little story about love gone wrong, love gone awry, and then love returning. It's an experiment of sorts for me. Since the rights reverted to me, I thought I'd check out self-publishing. Hopefully it does well enough I'll decide to do more! Let me know what you think of it!
Quarter Moon…available now!
Quarter Moon Over a Ten Cent Town is now available as a Kindle short reads. The story was part of the Dreamspinner Press anthology, Cuddling, but now you can get it solo for just $1.49! It's a sweet, funny story. But it now! (Please?)
Visiting ghosts and old friends
Last night I joined Haunted Rockford and the Ghost Research Society on an investigation of the Tinker Swiss Cottage Museum. It was a fun night, and it was great to see some old friends again and meet some new people.
Up in the Red bedroom (so called because, well, it's red) an EVP session didn't provide any immediate results, but down in the basement, we got some interesting things. Barbara turned on a device called a ghost box and we asked some questions. Other people in our group used some dousing rods, and we asked any spirits present to point the rods to where they were standing. They kept pointing behind a female team member. She was standing near the doorway at the time, and when she moved I saw a shadow dart from behind her and down the hallway. At first I thought this was just her shadow, but then I realized hers wouldn't have gone all the way down past the stairway. We then asked if that was Mr. Tinker I saw moving down the hallway, and the answer came very clear: "You bet!"
Upstairs we examined a photo taken by one member on a previous visit to the museum. This was taken in the master bedroom, and was of the mirror on the dresser. They got some strange anomalies in the photo and what looked like a transparent female just at the edge of the frame, wearing what looks like a bonnet and old fashioned clothing. That photo will be examined further, but here's one of Zach investigating in the same room.
Do we HAVE to have sex?
I was reading some reviews of an audio book I'd recently listened to, mainly because I hated the narrator chosen to read the book. He was horribly wrong for the book, and pretty much ruined a good story. And I wanted to know if others felt the same way (they did!). But I was also a little annoyed at other comments I read. Two readers of the book disliked that there was no on page sex in the story. Hey, that's what they want in a story. Fine for them. Me, I prefer no sex / fade to black. That's me. But one line really gnawed at me. I'm paraphrasing here, but it went something like: "This wasn't a romance because there was no on page sex."
What the everloving f*ck?
There was romance. Guys falling in love, going through hardships, finally getting their HEA. How is this not a romance?
Must MM romance be so rigid? Must every story fall into the same box, square peg in the square hole? Can't we have wiggle room?
Or do we all have to write dot to dot stories, just changing the names and locations? I'm pretty sure the world is big enough to have books about gay men who fall in love in which there aren't explicit sex scenes.
Maybe that's just me.
We're almost there!
Okay, for anyone who cares: the next Duncan Andrews is almost finished. I've got to write the last scene and then go through and re-write a few scenes and add a bit here or there (things that occurred to me as I was writing, but didn't want to go back and change at the time and interrupt the flow). The villain just insisted on being nastier than I'd originally intended, so I have to change a few things in the first several chapters to reflect this. But we're nearing the point where I can send it off.
This was a tough one to write. I always knew how it would end, but getting there was a struggle. I had written about 50,000 words on one draft and decided I hated it. So I did what I always do…sat back and gave it a good think. I sat there for several days. It may have been weeks. Then I realized what was wrong, and started pretty much from scratch. I think I kept one scene from the original draft. But that's the way I write. I have to throw down a bunch of crap first so that my mind can reject it and figure out what I really need to do.
Next, I want to do another Raven's Rest story. And then…back to Duncan and company. Although the next one won't have Duncan in it. It will be a Robbie story, which will lead up to the last and very final book in the series. I promise.
Things They Don't Tell You in "Author School"
As if there was one. Well, in a way, there are. Workshops like Dreamspinner Press holds every year. I just don't leave home much, so things like that aren't really a good fit for me. I can't stand to be away from my dog, nor she me. Plus, I'm super introverted, and it's hard to put on my "public persona."
Swag. I understand it, but I don't. Authors go to conferences and give out stuff, 90% of which is immediately tossed out. The author spent loads of bucks for someone to look at their swag as it falls down into the trash receptacle. Bookmarks? Who uses them nowadays? It's hard to mark your place with a physical bookmark on an e-reader. Postcards? Yeah, right. I'm going to write to someone with the cover of your book on the other side of my message. Pens are nice, but they're pretty expensive. If you want to give out 300 or so pens, it could cost you around $600 (depending on where you get them). Are you going to get $600 worth or more of sales back? I don't really know.
I'm going to be attending Rust City Book Convention in August, and I've decided to do a charity basket. Now, this I can get behind. I'm having fun coming up with ideas that match my weird little worlds I've created. A few books, lots of ghostie stuff, and I'm looking around for a plush bulldog I can make look like a zombie.
Who the hell wouldn't want a plush Daisy the zombie bulldog?
I don't like to get involved in controversy…but…
If you write MM romance, you're undoubtedly heard at least an inkling of what's gone down this week. Someone said something, people were offended, it seemed the original people felt attacked, etc. Every now and then something like this comes up. And people, very well meaning people, try to patch things up and say things like, "We're a community. We should all get along." Or "The LGTB community are supposed to be accepting. Why are you attacking so and so?"
Here's a news flash. ANY group has in-fighting sometimes. Because we're all human beings. We say things sometimes without thinking. We get our feelings hurt, and we lash out. So if you think the MM writing group is somehow exempt, or should be, think again. Never going to happen.
I don't want to get into the original post that began this whole kerfuffle. It's been hashed out to death by now. But I will say this: if you write about gay men, and you feel you support gay men and rights of LGTB+ in general…and you post something that gay men feel insulted by, or is misconstrued…try to remember that these are the people you support. If I hear one more person say something like "MM romance isn't for gay men. It was started by women and it's for women, and gay men should just keep out of it" I swear I won't be responsible for my actions.
Jeff Erno wrote a very good piece about this controversy, as did F.E. Feeley and TJ Klune, and they expressed themselves a heck of a lot better than I can. It's weird that gay men often feel marginalized and excluded in a genre that is supposed to be about them. Is it any wonder that sometimes we feel like throwing up our hands and just giving up? I know I've felt that way several times.
I'm sure I'll upset someone by posting this, and I sincerely hope that doesn't happen. But if it does, contact me. It can be private on Facebook, or leave a message here. Let's hash it out. Maybe we'll both learn something.
That'd be nice, wouldn't it?

text: Last Friday, an association I'm signed up with through my work called V.E.A. (Vons Employment Association) had a private party at Six Flags Magic Mountain. For only $23, members got to enjoy the park from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. with free parking was included. With prices so sky high at these places, I could NOT pass up that deal, not to mention I haven't been to Six Flags in years and I'm a true roller coaster lover! A co-worker from my same store, Deena, also loves roller coasters and wanted to come along with me. My sister, Christine, asked our friend, Wally, if we could crash at his place in Studio City afterward. Wally was cool with it and the plan was all set. Christine and I picked up Deena at our store and got on the road by 12:30, arriving at Wally's house a few minutes after 3. Talk about good timing! There wasn't much traffic on the 5 North and normally that freeway is plain awful. We dropped off our stuff and rested at Wally's house for a bit. I took a quick cat nap and woke up around 4:30. It's a very short drive from Studio City to Valencia and the private party didn't start till 7. Deena and I left around 5:30 to go eat at a Subway down the street from Wally's. Then, it was off to find the 170-N Sacramento freeway. Deena and I arrived at the gates to Magic Mountain at 6:45. Again, the freeway wasn't too busy and that's a good thing when we saw a line-up of cars wanting to get inside! The barricades were up; the park officials were waiting for the regular guests to clear out of the park before they could let us in. I looked to the rows and rows of cars surrounding us. They were all V.E.A. members or family and friends along for the ride. Still, I knew it wouldn't be a fully-crowded park. Five minutes later, the barricades came down and everyone raced inside to the parking lot! I quickly found a space and Deena and I took off for the tram. Before entering the park, we first had to walk through metal detectors. Yes, you heard that right! They now have metal detectors! Ridiculous, but you really can't blame them. As soon as we got through the park's gate, we set out to ride some serious roller coasters! Where to start? I hanged a right from the entrance when I should have made a left! The newest ride, Tatsu, was the one everyone was heading to. Toward the right side is the direction to Goliath, Colossus, a new ride Scream, and further on down is Batman The Ride in Gotham City. Tatsu is located in Samurai Summit up a long path past Viper. The first ride Deena and I went to was Goliath. This is the beautiful part about a private party. NO LINES! Or, they bottle up near the boarding zone and you only wait for your turn to get on. We went to get to the very front row and waited about ten minutes to board. Now, it has been since 2001 that I last road this ride. I had forgotten how powerful, how fast, and how HIGH up the first drop is! Lord Almighty, if I wasn't awake then, I sure was after! I knew Deena and I were in for some big treats that night. We didn't buy the picture, but it did come out hilarious. It always seems to capture the right moment. After Goliath, I totally missed the entrance to Colossus and even Scream. I should have checked the map, but didn't! We walked on over into Gotham City to do Batman The Ride next. This is a great ride. Your feet dangle as you do these glorious flips and half-turns all over. It's a shame these rides aren't long. I normally clocked three to four minutes per ride. After Batman, we left Gotham City and went to find the entrance to The Riddler's Revenge in The Movie District. The map showed that Freefall was extremely close, but I never saw it! The park is not well-lit at night and it was already dark out by 7:30. The Riddler's Revenge should have been named The Nutcracker instead. The way you sit on the seat, guys could easily crush their balls. It's hard to sit, anyway. You have to keep your legs straight and feet flat to the floor. During the ride, though, I found one of my feet lifting up and dangling in mid-air. Damn, what fun! There's one thing I don't like about the Batman and Riddler rides: there's nowhere to put my backpack in a safe place. Deena had the right idea of carrying around a fanny pack, but I had my backpack with me. The Batman and Riddler rides are free of a decent floor, the usual spot I place my backpack. With the two rides, I have to go across to the other side and leave my backpack on a counter top or near the ride operator. When returning, I get off and go get it. What I worry about is leaving it there as I ride. Two coasters are simultaneously running. As I'm on the ride, another reenters the boarding zone. Someone could easily get off and take my backpack before I have the chance to return and stop them! Later on in the evening, I found a way to protect my backpack when I couldn't bring it on the ride with me, but it came with a price...literally! At this time, it was after 8 p.m. and Deena needed to buy a soda. We stopped at a Papa Johns for her to get a souvenir cup. Refills were only $.99 and she couldn't pass up that deal. However, I wondered how she'd be able to carry the cup on the rides. I couldn't hold it in my backpack; it would spill and ruin the inside. The first ride we noticed the cup would be a problem was on Gold Rusher. She placed it in a side netting pocket of my backpack and I kept it close to my legs, hoping it was stay upright. It's a smaller, simpler, roller coaster, but I had a feeling her cup would fall over. It did...all over the floor of the cart! I was embarrassed, but had to leave it. From then on, she had to leave the cup behind on the other side of the tracks, near the ride operator's booth. Next, we made our way to Cyclone Bay where many great rides started to bring up huge crowds. I had my heart set on the classic wooden roller coaster, Psyclone, but a ride operator said it was down. Next door was a fairly-new green and blue coaster called Déjà vu, one I didn't get to ride in 2001. It looked awesome, but the line to ride it was far too long. Being pressed for time, we walked away from it and proceeded to find the entrance to rides like Ninja, Superman The Escape, and Tatsu. A loooooong, woodsy path took us up to the area of Samurai Summit where we found another staircase leading up. We were told this staircase led to the entrance to Ninja and Superman The Escape, yet, as we climbed it, I felt like we were heading to the exit of Tatsu! We turned around quickly, I even told others that it was Tatsu's exit! I discovered later on that I was wrong, but hey, what did I know? We saw the line for Tatsu was incredibly long, and I kicked myself for not deciding to go there when first arriving! We took a path through a creepy dark area with some different colored lights for some help in seeing where we were going. Did I mention the park was not well-lit? I dubbed this area Creepy Woods. It was a very fitting name. The path took us down to the land of Baja Ridge and over to the entrance to Viper. That was one we hadn't done yet and just had to! It's one of my favorites. Several tight loops, half-turns, corkscrews, it's extremely awesome. Oh, and word of advice (there's a posted warning, too): Remove your ear jewelry! I'm serious. I didn't have two sets of piercings in 2001, but I do now and I didn't remove them! Your head gets banged around and your ears hit into a not-so-soft head rest. It hurt like hell on me! The photo was hilarious and we bought two sets. Checking the map, I noticed the staircase we previously climbed (and thought it was the exit to Tatsu) did in fact lead to Ninja and Superman The Escape. We went up and over the full way and found both rides in that area. We road Ninja first. It's a great ride. Moves just like a ninja with you darting around trees at a tremendous speed. Oh, and you're pretty high off the ground, too. There's a floor, so I kept my backpack with me. Next, was a long and boring wait for Superman The Escape. We got the front seat and that ride was over and done with in less than a minute. I find it sucks you wait so long for such a short ride! We went back down the staircase, looking AGAIN to see Tatsu was STILL crowded! Will it ever end? We walked through Creepy Woods and back down toward Viper, stopping first to check out the Panda Express close by. I was getting hungry, but I wanted to save my money and ride rides instead. There was NO line for Viper, so we decided to jump on it again. I liked how the photo came out the second time, but we didn't get it. I took my earrings off this time, glad that I did! Next, we walked down the hill and over to The Revolution. Another simple roller coaster with only one loop. Still, I kept my earrings off! We continued down the path and it led us toward the main entrance. I wanted to retrace back over to Goliath and look for Colossus and Scream. I saw it on the map, I just had to find where you go to board the rides! Sure enough, there was a path beyond Goliath that took us to both rides. We've ridden Colossus before, so we skipped it to ride Scream located further back. We get all the way to the boarding zone when I see signs everywhere that read there is NO LOSE ITEMS ALLOWED ON BOARD. All items must be stored in the lockers located below. I left Deena in line to go downstairs to where I found the lockers. It costs a freakin' dollar to stow your belongings in the locker! Talk about milking us for every penny we're worth! I only had one quarter, but some dollars and a change machine was close by. I got four quarters and put my backpack in the locker. I turned the key and put it in my pocket. I did it correctly, however, I was still holding my wallet! I forgot to put it away! I had to reopen the locker and put my wallet away. But, now, that meant I had to pay another dollar to relock it! Then, the dollar would NOT go in to the change machine; it took several tries to get it to give me my change. When it finally went through, it only dispensed three quarters! Seventy-five cents! Anger as all hell by now, I took the quarters and then took the fourth (AND ONLY!) quarter from my wallet to RELOCK my backpack in the locker! I turned the key and put it in my pocket, returning back to Deena who had to led about five people go ahead of her in the line! Despite all the trouble with the locker, the ride was worth it. Scream is an awesome thrill of a ride! Holy buckets! I screamed so much, my voice was starting to go hoarse. This ride was tops on my list for the evening! We bought the photo. I almost died laughing from our expressions. After Scream, we jumped on Colossus to enjoy the feel of a classic Coney Island-style roller coaster. It's got wonderful dips and sharp turns; quite stronger than you can imagine. At night, they've got rainbow lights flashing as you fly by. It was pretty cold by that time and my hands were starting to go numb when I lifted them high in the air! The time now read almost 1 a.m. and that meant the private party was coming to a close! Instead of heading to the exit like everyone else, we walk-fast toward the path of Viper, through Creepy Woods AGAIN and over to see if we could get in line for that damn ride Tatsu! By now, we figured the line was less. It really wasn't, but we got in line anyway! A ride attendant named Tiago let us through and I guess considered us the last ones in line and wouldn't let anyone else in. It was after 1 and they had to close sometime soon! I was smart this time, going off to put my backpack and Deena's fanny pack in a nearby locker. I did it correctly, I'm happy to say. Waiting in line was rather interesting. In front of us was a group of three girls and one guy in particular. They kind of acknowledged us and we talked about a few things, but we were all mostly waiting to ride this thing. As we reached the staircase, Deena saw some people sneak in the line and get behind us. Tiago was busy talking to the three girls and guy but he did catch them come in. He boldly told them to get out of line because Deena and I were the cut-off point. The people refused and protested, saying they had been in line the whole time. Tiago asked Deena and I if that were true. We slowly shook our heads no. Tiago told them they had to leave now and they still refused. Finally, security was called in and some of the people left. A girl and a guy stayed close by us. Tiago and the guard took them away too! I really hoped a fight wouldn't have broken out. I said that out loud and the guy with the three girls pulled out a switchblade to show that if a fight did happen, he'd be ready! I looked over the railing of the staircase, almost ready to jump! I got quite nervous at that point! The guy was cool, but flashing that knife scared the hell out of me! How he got through the metal detectors at the main gate is a mystery! We got closer to the boarding zone and witnessed how you actually sit on this ride. The harnesses are similiar to Batman with one difference. Before going off, the seats spin forward, making your vision and whole body face downward! Your legs are clamped at the ankels to prevent them from dangling. Deena turned to me with a look of horror. I knew that look, it was a look of uncertainty. Smiling, I said, "Let's do it!" We got the front row, and for the first time ever, I was very nervous. The seat flipped and I felt my stomach and chest press against the cushioned bar. Not sure how many times I prayed to God to get us through this, but perhaps a few cries and whimpers would help some as well. As we went up the long, clankity-clank ramp, Deena kept asking who's idea this was, but I was too busy trying to find my happy place. With us so incredibly high up and how our point of view was straight DOWN, I should have closed my eyes. But, no, I looked, and as the speed picked up, I screamed like a banshee! The turns were incredible, the flips of seeing the dark sky underneath me was so horrible, I never stopped screaming. I screamed so much, I felt drool fall out of my mouth! It was terrible, totally frightening, scary to no end... IT WAS THE BEST RIDE OUT OF THE WHOLE NIGHT! Returning to the boarding zone, I was still screaming, this time with crazy laughter. I was clapping and howling with delight! I managed to tell Deena it's true when they say "We saved the best for last." It was the best! By then, it was 2 a.m. and we had to head straight for the exit. The photo from Tatsu made us look demonic, totally possessed in our seats. I was running out of money and didn't expect Deena to get it. We stopped at the Chevron station near The Old Road and got some food to eat. I was really hungry and awake enough to get to Wally's. I chugged a Mountain Dew on the freeway and we were back to Studio City by 3 a.m. Wally and Christine were awake and we told them a little about our evening as I ate my sandwich and drank my Strawberries and Cream Frappacino. I was in bed by 4, out like a light. What a thrill, what a night, what an adventure!

* Prolia approved for osteoporosis in women and men
* Amgen and Glaxo to share commercialization in Europe
* U.S. FDA to decide on drug by late July
* Glaxo rises 2 pct, Amgen up 0.7 pct (Adds details on analyst comments, U.S. applications, byline)
By Ben Hirschler and Ransdell Pierson
LONDON/NEW YORK, May 28 (Reuters) - Amgen's (AMGN.O) new drug Prolia, or denosumab, has been approved in Europe as a treatment for the brittle bone disease osteoporosis, the U.S. biotech giant said on Friday.
It was also approved for bone loss among men with prostate cancer who are treated with hormones used to knock down levels of testosterone that feeds the cancer. Such treatments make the men more prone to fractures.
The green light from the European Commission -- which had been expected following a positive recommendation by the European Medicines Agency in December -- marks the first approval of the product worldwide.
GlaxoSmithKline (GSK.L) will help commercialize the medicine in Europe, throwing its marketing weight behind a product that could reach $3.3 billion in global sales by 2014 if also approved in the U.S., according to Thomson Reuters.
Prolia is administered every six months as an under-the-skin injection and is the first in a new class of drugs designed to inhibit proteins that activate bone-destroying cells.
Initially, it will be given to women with post-menopausal osteoporosis and men with prostate cancer who, as a result of hormone therapy, are at increased risk of bone fractures.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is due to decide by late July whether to approve Prolia in osteoporosis.
"The EU approval of Prolia for these indications increases our confidence that the FDA will approve Prolia for post-menopausal osteoporosis on July 25," Lazard Capital Markets analyst Joel Sendek said in a research note.
Moreover, Amgen asked U.S. regulators earlier this month to approve denosumab for reduction of fractures and other skeletal-related problems in patients with advanced cancer, marking its second U.S. application for the experimental medicine.
Cowen and Co analyst Eric Schmidt said the European approvals "have some positive implications" for the looming U.S. decision. He said denosumab could capture "multibillion" dollar annual sales from the cancer indication alone, and annual sales of up to $1 billion for post-menopausal osteoporosis.
Amgen will provide Phase III data on denosumab in advanced cancer patients at a major cancer meeting next week.
The drug is widely considered to be Amgen's most important future growth driver, as safety concerns have continued to hurt sales of its Aranesp anemia treatment.
Amgen and Glaxo will collaborate to market the medicine in Europe for osteoporosis, while Amgen will retain full rights for North America and for oncology indications in Europe. Glaxo will handle sales in emerging markets.
Prolia will compete in the osteoporosis market against an established class of medicines called bisphosphonates.
These include Merck & Co's (MRK.N) Fosamax; Novartis's NOVN.VX Reclast; Warner Chilcott's WCRX.O Actonel; and Glaxo's own product Boniva or Bonviva, which it sells with Roche ROG.VX.
Glaxo's head of European pharmaceuticals, Eddie Gray, told Reuters at the time of the deal with Amgen last July that he aimed to start selling the medicine in the first European markets by mid-2010.
Glaxo shares rose 2 percent in London, while Amgen were up 38 cents at $51.81 the Nasdaq.
