President Barack Obama was wise to vacation this week on Martha's
Vineyard. Not because it's one of the few places in America where his
health-care plan is still popular, but because by getting out of
Washington he gave staff time to repair his vaunted message machine,
which was starting to break down.
Two weeks ago, White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod said in a now
legendary "viral" email that, "It's a myth that health insurance reform
would be financed by cutting Medicare benefits." This was sent out the
day before Mr. Obama told a Montana town hall that he'd pay for
health-care reform by "eliminating . . . about $177 billion over 10
years" for "what's called Medicare Advantage." And it was two days before
Mr. Obama told a Colorado town hall he'd cover "two-thirds" of the
"roughly $900 billion" of his plan's cost by "eliminating waste," again
citing Medicare Advantage.
Who's right? As a former senior adviser, I can tell you who: the
president. What's more, according to a White House fact sheet titled
"Paying for Health Care Reform," Mr. Axelrod was misleading his readers.
It notes the administration would cut $622 billion from Medicare and
Medicaid, with a big chunk coming from Medicare Advantage, to pay for
overhauling health care. Mr. Obama heralded these cuts as "common sense"
in his June 13 radio address.
Medicare Advantage was enacted in 2003 to allow seniors to use Medicare
funds to buy private insurance plans that fit their needs and their
budgets. They get better care and better value for their money.
Medicare Advantage also has built-in incentives to encourage insurers to
offer lower costs and better benefits. It's a program that puts patients
in charge, not the government, which is why seniors like it and probably
why the administration hates it.
Already, an estimated 10.2 million seniors-one out of five in
America-have enrolled in Medicare Advantage. Mr. Obama is proposing to
cut the program by nearly 20% and thus reduce the amount of money each
will have to buy insurance. This will likely force most of them to lose
the insurance they have now. Yet Mr. Obama promised in late July in New
Hampshire that, "if you like your health-care plan, you can keep your
health-care plan."
There are roughly 23,400 seniors on average in a congressional district
who have Medicare Advantage, but who face losing it if Mr. Obama has his
way. That's enough votes to tip most competitive House and Senate races.
Back in 2006, Mr. Obama and other Democrats railed against GOP
efforts-modest though they were-to slow future Medicare spending growth.
Now he and his party may reap what they have sown. As the president
pushes to enact an overall cut to Medicare he will imperil Democrats in
tough re-election races. Mr. Obama has a dangerous old tiger by the tail.
Seniors are much more likely to vote than the population at large.
Adding to the Democrats' woes are polls that show weak support for
ObamaCare among Independents and Democrats. In the new ABC/Washington
Post poll, only 45% approved of Mr. Obama's plan and 50% opposed it-with
40% "strongly" opposed.
Despite Mr. Obama's barnstorming tour, last week's Fox/Opinion Dynamics
poll said "the health care reform legislation being considered right now"
is opposed by 21% of Democrats, 50% of Independents, and 81% of
Republicans. Only 37% of Democrats and 15% of Independents think their
families would be better off if it passed.
The problem for Mr. Obama is that he lacks credibility when he asserts
his plan won't add to the deficit or won't lead to rationing; that people
can keep their health plans; that every family's health care will be
better, not worse; and that a government run plan isn't a threat to
private insurance. A large number of Americans don't believe the
president on this.
With this week's $2 trillion upward revision in the White House's deficit
projections, August has been the cruelest month for Mr. Obama. The
president is now facing a politically explosive mix of unpopular policies
and an angered electorate.
It's still too early to count Mr. Obama out. His team will be back in
Washington next week. They'll work on their messaging and have more than
$100 million-much of it from pharmaceutical companies-to spend on ads
bludgeoning reluctant Democrats and energized Republicans.
The White House will exert enormous pressure-and in the spirit of
Chicago-style politics, employ threats when necessary-with Senate and
House Democrats. The health-care battle, already intense, will get more
so in the months ahead. ObamaCare is unpopular, but it is far from

Kayaking in the Simpson Desert.

Kayaking on Eyre Creek
High on the list of most four-wheel drivers "to do list" would be a
Simpson Desert
crossing. Those that do the crossing will either fall into one of two categories and we have come across both types over the years. The first is been there done that and not really their cup of tea and would never think of ever doing such a trip again, or the second category which most people seem to fall into and that is they have a love of the complete isolation and seeing the desert in its various moods.
Over twenty years ago I fell into the second category and have made countless revisits over the years and driving on every possible track that the Simpson has to offer, with our preferred direction being an East – West crossing. Becoming a very competent
Simpson Desert
driver, including a number of solo trips through the desert, we undertook the hardest Simpson trip that anyone can do, a complete Cross Country trip in 2006 through to Geosurvey
and the Geographical Centre of the
Simpson Desert
Last year when Fiona and I were doing a solo Simpson crossing, we commented a number of times on all the water in the desert and the massive volume of water in Lake Nappanerica and only wished that we had our double kayak with us. Late in December 2010 and again in early 2011, many outback areas of
, including the
Simpson Desert
were again inundated with very heavy rainfalls, including the flooding of Mount Dare.
The volume of water coming down
Creek again cut the desert and as late as June 2011 it was still not possible to do a complete Simpson crossing, with a complete desert crossing finally possible only from July onwards. With such an event and the recommissioning of the
Cooper Creek ferry
over the
Birdsville Track
in late June it got me thinking and I started to put into place an outback trip at short notice. By late July my final plans were complete and we would now tackle the last experience that the Simpson had on offer – the chance to kayak on both
Creek and Lake Nappanerica and possibly become the first person to do such a very unusual task in the
Simpson Desert
We must have looked very strange travelling up the
Birdsville Track
with the kayak on the roof, but knew that many people would have done such a drive before, as the
Diamantina River
is another great river to kayak on as well as other waterways north of
. To coincide with this Simpson trip, we arrange and received prior approval to revisit one location that we would be travelling very close to and a place that we had not been back to for over seven years – Annandale Ruins north of Ruwolts
on our way to where we indented to kayak on
Creek. It was during this phone call with the land owner David Brook that he informed me that the drive out to
Big Red
was via a different route that we had taken last year and would involved a section of the Border fence or as it is sometimes known The Poeppel Line.

it did not take long to reach the detour sign and so far the track was a very well maintained station track heading south towards the border. At a point where we were right on the Border fence the track then swung due west. It was at this point that we approached out first sand dune of the Simpson and if the condition of this dune was an indication of what the desert was going to be like, it was going to be a good classic Simpson drive with very soft sand. When we crested the first dune I could hear a convoy of vehicles heading west and they were all having problems on each dune. It did not take long to know their problem, there were all first time
Simpson Desert
travellers and were running far too high tyre pressures, with someone in the group saying that he was going to drop his pressures down to 25psi, which was still far too high for the soft sand like it was by around 10psi. Being ridiculed in the past for giving reliable and correct information over the radio, we said nothing and the group continued on to cut the dunes up like irresponsible four-wheel drivers that thought that they knew it all. With another dune crossed we came across a Japanese motorcycle rider trying to lift up his heavily laden motorcycle that he had fallen off of for the second and was not even out in the desert proper.
This group of vehicles in front of us had driven past the poor chap when he needed help. Getting out of our car, I walked over and immediately there was a language barrier, as he could speak or understand very little English. We felt very sorry for him, as all he wanted to do was ride over
Big Red
. We both strained to get his bike upright and it was then that I noticed something very special, his EO sticker on the back of his helmet. In very broken English he said that he was a member and his name was Hideya Uehara from Kyoto Japan. I have since looked in the
Members List
, but have not been able to see him as Members. With all his gear back on his bike, he set off at a slow pace so we give him a good head start with full knowledge that we would not take long to catch him up. Sure enough and in less than five minutes he was struggling up the next steep dune. About three quarters of the way up he lost full momentum and then the bike was bogged down up to the swing arm. Hideya tried in vein to free the very badly bogged bike but it was a hopeless situation. For safety reasons I passed him on the far right-hand side of the track and parked our vehicle on the very crest of the dune so if someone happened to come soaring over the dune we would not get hit while trying to recover his bike. With the aid of my long handled shovel I managed to dig his bike out and after lots of pushing, pulling and then finally dragging his bike sideway it was free. In broken English he said that it was too hard for him in the very soft and cut up sand and decided to cancel his ride out to
Big Red
. With his bike ridden down to the bottom of the dune that he had tried to get over, we waved good-bye and wondered how he got on from here.
The half an hour that we lost in the recover gave the other group that was in front of us chance to get further ahead, a fact that pleased me greatly, as I could not have thought of being stuck behind a group of drivers that were learning as they crossed each dune, still with high tyre pressures. By the time that we reached
Big Red
there was a large number of day-trippers trying their luck in tackling the Simpson largest dune. It always makes me laugh when you see vehicles going like the proverbial and then getting less than a quarter of the way up and bogging down badly all from no knowledge on how to drive in soft sand, but that is another story. We did not even try the crossing, after all we were returning in a few days and we had to get to the top or else we would not be able to paddle on Lake Nappanerica.

This was as far as he could get
Big Red
out the dunes were easier to travel and it did not take long before we came across the first channels of the
Creek flood plains, with Coolabahs lining each swale. Reaching
Creek proper we then headed north on the detour track and slowly headed towards Ruwolts
before heading over the large dune to see the extent of the water in
Creek, and the site from the top of this dune was incredible seeing the volume of water there and showed why only weeks before the crossing at Goonamillera Crossing was out of the question will still over 1.5 metres over the crossing.
The rocky Goonamillera Crossing
Someone crossing during our lunch break
The crossing made a very pretty lunch stop before retracing our track back to Ruwolts
and our drive further north to the old Annandale Ruins. Things were going fine up the large dune just after the
when we were again confronted with another inland lake that blocked all further travel on the normal track. With cross country travel at the base of the dune and around 300 metres from the actual waters edge, we slowly made our way north and again
made this type of travel a safe affair, knowing just were we were and where we had to go to avoid the low lying country. Cresting our last dune we came down the other side and were back on the main track at Dickerrie Bores and from here only a short drive up to the Annandale ruins. How the country had changed since our last visit and there was now even a four strand barb wired fence that fenced off the ruins, with one way in and that was through the one
in the whole fence. Along with the barded wire fence enclosing the area around the ruins, the couple of years of very good rainfall had covered the area with very thick plant growth and many of the old implements and wooden yards were partially hidden with Buckbush.
This was the body of water that stopped us using the Main track
Eyre Creek at Annandale
Our camp at Annandale
This is now the only way into the Ruins
Left to rust in the desert
I wonder when this was last used
We set up camp and with the sun starting to set, walked over to the ruins. There is such a lot of early history here and also tragedies. My advise to any future travellers to this lonely and isolated location is that if you have never been here before, do your homework and do as much research on the location as possible otherwise there are many finer details that you will overlook completely.
The Childrens grave
It was a very sad time when Fiona placed the flowers on the grave
We made our way through the old fences and equipment and Fiona picked a small bunch of wildflowers that were in full bloom. The flowers were not for us, but to place on the grave of the
children that died here and the painting by Wolfgang John titled "Angels of Annandale" captures the sombre mood of the death of these poor
children. Even though we did not know the children and it was well over 100 years since their deaths, we both shed tears as Fiona placed the flowers at the base of the small cross that marks the location where they were laid to rest. The small grave was covered with chicken wire at the time to stop the dingos from trying to dig up their bodies and today looks very much the worse for ware. Returning to our camp the sounds of a lone dingo rang out as it stood guardian over its territory. The last time we were here the waterhole had only a few puddles of water in it and was possible to walk from one side to the other, but not this time with a wide waterhole so typical of the
Cooper Creek
and would have been at least three metres deep, or deeper at this point.

Like all return treks it did not seem to take as long to get back to Ruwolts
as id did to come out to Annandale and by mid morning we were back by
Creek. Once we were set up the next task was to collect enough timber for our campfire, which did not take very long to collect at all. This looked like one place that we were going to stay two nights, as it just had that perfect feel about it and the water views were just stunning. As I was very anxious to get on the water, we had a quick lunch, and then enjoyed the peace and tranquillity on the water with not even another vehicles anywhere to be seen or heard. Again like the
Cooper Creek
the bird life was very plentiful with the greatest number of birds in this area being the Whistling Kites and it was very reminiscent of the African wildlife scene of the Vultures circling overhead just waiting for their victim to die.
Camp set up and Kayak ready for Eyre Creek Paddle
Ducks on exposed rocks in Eyre Creek
On Eyre Creek
Kayaking along
Creek was just perfect and it seemed almost impossible to think that here we were out here in the
Simpson Desert
and on this great inland waterway that is usually a dry bed of dust and rocks. Paddling our way south down the
Creek we came to so very shallow section of water that was quite shallow and the volume of water being forced over this section was quite different to what we had previously been paddling. Back into deeper water and things were back to normal until we were now approaching Goonamillera Crossing. At this point the width of the Creek narrowed along with the depth of the water and in front of us and there were some quite large rocks exposed in the water. We then tried to paddle way from then until we hit some quite large rocks that were submerged under the water and we came to an instant stop and we then tried in vein to paddle backwards to free ourselves, but the force of the water turned the kayak sideways in the water and I then thought that we would be immediately swamped. At the best of times the Kayak sits about six inches above the waterline and now the side facing the current was less than one inch from entering the kayak. We were now in a situation that if things did not change quickly, we would both be having a very cold bath so early in the day and the only way to stop this from happening was for me to get out and drag the kayak with Fiona still in it out of harms way.
Howard, Anne and Robin at Goonamillera Crossing
Howard talking about their experiences
It was at this point when I started to drag the kayak that I noticed a couple of people and two vehicles on the western side of the Goonamillera Crossing. This was nothing abnormal; after all it was the recognised wet weather detour crossing point for those that were doing a desert crossing. The first vehicles started crossing and it was at this point that I noticed his EO sticker on his front windscreen. I have him a wave and when he was safely across the other side, the remaining vehicle crossed. By this time I was nearly out of the water and when I was on the dry rocks and I went over to say g'day to the drivers of these two vehicles. The first thing that I asked them were they members, mentioning the EO sticker and as it was, they were both EO Members, Howard from the ACT and Robin and Anne Miller from
. It then turned out that we were the first people that they had seen in seven days as they were coming out of the Desert from their Madigan Crossing. Having a quick chat as you do, they were anxious to head off, as they still had over three hours of travel for them to reach
and their first hot showers in over a week. Wishing them all the very best, they hopped into there vehicles and were on their way.

We could have travelled all day, it was just perfect
It was a hard life for us in the Simpson
The paddle back along
Creek was very similar to the paddle down to the crossing. We had been out on the water for a few hours, but as great as it was we decided to head back to camp and just sit back and enjoy the tranquillity of the area. After loading up the kayak, the weather was just perfect and Fiona grabbed a magazine and her chair and sat back with the warming rays of the sun making we wished the day would never end. With the sun starting to get lower in the western sky, we stoked the fire up, grabbed a torch and the camera and headed off over the road and climbed to the top of the large dune that overlooked our camp. With only a very slight breeze, the only noise that we could hear were the constant cry's of the kites as they circled overhead and the views were just unbelievable with the sun setting the dunes on fire with dark
hues. With the sun now below the far horizon it was time to carefully make our way back to camp and be very careful where we put each step, as there were quite a few holes in the side of the dune and they last thing that we wanted was to trip and brake a leg.

With a nice bed of coals on the fire to
tea, we set about to get tea ready when Fiona gave out a big scream and I immediately thought that there was be a snake in our camp, but no it was a native Long Haired or Bush Rat. I told Fiona that it was nothing to worry about and went on cooking tea. From now on this put Fiona on edge and she kept on telling me to do something, but what could I do? The rats were not like the feral Black Rats that you see in normal built up areas, smaller in body size and very fluffy, but for Fiona they were RATS! From what I could count, there appeared to be only about 3 and they were in different locations, but never the less it did put a bit of a dampener on the camp site. With another perfect fire, it made it very hard to drag us way from it and get into the swag. Most nights out in the swag are just great but not that night, and it seemed like the night would never end. I woke with a startle to sound and feel of a rat on the swag, so a simple kit with my foot sent it scurrying. The next feeling was one running behind my pillow and so on. The next morning there was a few rat droppings on the matting by the swag and as tranquil the location was, we both said that we would not want to spend another night hear again with rats as our neighbours. As we packed up It struck me how quite it was out here in the desert with vehicle traffic, with only four vehicles passing our camp in more than the twenty four hours that we were here, two going out into the desert around 11am the previous day and Howard and Robin heading into
also the previous day around 3pm.
Can it get any better that this from our camp
Time for a cuppa next morning
From the top of the dune next morning
We returned to the top of the dune for another relaxing time before saying farewell to this tranquil campsite, minus the rats. We were in no hurry knowing that if pushed we could be back into
within three hours, but we had another appointment with another of the Simpsons fresh water Lakes. On our way back on the detour track, we stopped countless times, for the many wildflowers that were in full bloom.

Once back onto the QAA Line we had an early lunch at the actual
Creek cuts the QAA Line. From there to
Big Red
was a good run through even though we stopped many times for pictures of the wildflowers. Once at
Big Red
I deflated the tyre pressures even further having driven over this big dune many times over the years.
Lunch on the QAA Line at Eyre Creek
The Eyre Creek Flood Plain is extensive
Heading further east on the QAA Line
I tried the steeper track to the left of the main track twice that goes directly up the centre and both times my front wheels were just on the top of
Big Red
and the soft sand had halted progress. Rather than trying again I reversed back down and with no speed up took the normal centre track and being aware of the last left hand turn and the lip at the top made it no problems at all. There were a two other vehicles at the top, but this was a quick stop for a few more photos and then down the eastern face of
Big Red
and parked our vehicle and out next great paddle on Lake Nappanerica. There was a lot more water than last year with the main track that skirt the Lake under water to the point that the actual Lake was just at the very base of the Nappanerica Dune.
We do not know how deep the water was, as within five metres from the shore, we were unable to touch the bottom with our paddles and it must have been well over three metres deep. We spent nearly two hours out on the water and it was again fantastic with not a breath of wind and a temperature of 24° degrees made it just perfect. As we were nearing the other side of Lake Nappanerica the moon started to rise over the red dunes of the Simpson and this was a unique while out on the water. Just like out near
Creek, there were countless Kites flying overhead and resting in the trees and apart from the ones out further in the Desert, this was the first time that we have ever seen so many of them in the
Simpson Desert
. We could have stayed out here for hours, but is was now getting late in the day, so we put the kayak back on the roof and drove up the back way to the top of
Big Red
. It was still great to see the desert like this and we again took more photos on top this renowned dune and this time we had it to ourselves. At the highest point on the dune I turned on my mobile phone and just like last year, was able to ring home and tell family members that we were safely out of the desert.

There was more water than 2010
Once down at the bottom of the dune, I reinflated the tyres back up to 16psi for the return drive back into
on the new wet weather detour track. One again the dunes were very cut up to the point that on one dune I had to have two shots at getting over which was very embarrassing after coming out from the desert. In the distance a lone vehicle was travelling out late in the day to see
Big Red
and commented on the Kayak on my roof, saying he bet we had lots of fun sliding down the dunes. I then said that no, we had been paddling out in the desert and you could see the look on his face as if we were mad and pulling his leg. I then said when he get to the top of
Big Red
, look to the east and see the vast volume of water in Lake Nappanerica and told him about
Creek which did not mean anything to him. By the time that we finally got back into
it was after 6pm, topping off three great days out in the Simpson. The next day in the Caravan Park I ran into the same man that we saw going out to
Big Red
the previous night and he commented on the amount of water out there and said that he thought that we were telling him a tall story and had he not seen the water himself he would never believed it himself. We then spent the next two days in
before returning back down to the
Cooper Creek
and feeling very pleased with ourselves knowing that our final Simpson task had been completed and only wished that we could have spent longer out there.

The world is full of adventures to be had for the taking. And this must be counted among them...
You and Fiona have not only grabbed the mantle and run with it, but you have put together a great read on the adventure! And I must confess to be a tad envious...
All the best...

Hi The Landy
It was one experience that we could not put off. We were supposed to be going to Innamincka, but like I said to one person, Innamincka will be there again next year, while it could be years again before water is like that again in the Simpson.
We are glad that you enjoyed the read.

Hello Stephen,
Your adventure is a fantastic read and give me insight into the Simpson. We are off to the Flinders next month, but time won't allow further northern travels. We will however, see some of the waterways from our flight out of Arkaroola.
Thanks again for compiling the article and the photos (shame it's not a NIKON lol)

Hi Stephen and Fiona.
We were with the group you met up with at Annandale. (We have the TVan)
Thanks for your advice re heading out to the geographical centre. We decided not to attempt it. We crossed via the Rig line and met up with them at Purni Bore (they didn't make it, got to within 40km and gave up.) We then came back via the Maddigan Line. Our Tvan travelled well, with only one snatch, up until Frank broke his rear diff housing and axle halfway over the Maddigan!
We then took a lot of his gear and the extra weight caught us out (4snatches)
Franks mechanic used star pickets (that we carried!) and a portable mig welder hooked up to 3 batteries and glued it up enough to drive out and up the Hay river and up to Alice
Love to catch up with you and give you the gossip.
Regards, Gary and Suzanne

Hi Stephen.
Thanks for that. I cried at Annandale too, my Grandparents lived there whilst working for S. Kidman.
The waterhole was full when we were there & having worked on cattle stations ourselves we'd never seen flies like it.
I believe that my grandparents went there shortly after their marriage in 1914.
The Mortons, are my cousins, but have rarely met. I still don't know the true story of the children.
I don't really want to go back there, as I said, I cried, I broke my heart!
How I wish I'd known I would've wanted to ask my grandparents so much, but I was only a teenager before Grandpa died & Grandma went senile.
We're interested in doing this Maralinga & Cook adventure next Holidays but we're loners so we'll have to get onto Robin.
Thank You.
Take care, safe travels. Sally (Ma)

Hi Sally
Annandale is always a special place to visit ans we have been lucky to see the area with no water at all, to water as far as the eye can see. For us it was the ultimate Simpson adventure that we could do, having travelled the area countless times.
We are back to Maralinga next year with a very small group and hope to see even more places that are usually out of bounds.
Robin is a top guy and a true friend.
Have a great trip and yes it is worth heading there.

Since I often experiment using almond and coconut flour in baked goods, it seems only fitting that I make cinnamon bun muffins using coconut flour, as an alternative to my earlier gluten-free cinnamon bun muffin recipe using almond flour. Both are great gluten-free flours, and impart different texture and flavor. And there are pros and cons to using each kind of flour, but in the end, it comes down to taste and your body.
Big confession here: I prefer muffins made with almond flour, but I'll let you be the judge. I generally prefer the texture of almond flour baked goods, but sometimes coconut flour knocks one out of the ballpark for me. And one differentiator for each side of the fence: almond flour costs more, but coconut flour uses more eggs. So if you love what coconut flour offers you, can't or don't eat almonds, or enjoy baking with coconut flour, this recipe is for you.
One thing I will note that I do a bit differently here than in the recipe using almond flour – I don't put the topping in the center of the muffin. I found it wasn't necessary to do because the topping spread well through the batter when placing it on top. But, it's up to you. Also, you could lower the amount of sweetener a bit – maybe to 1/3 of a cup and it will still taste good, but not as sweet.
I'm a huge fan of using maple syrup in baked goods, but if you don't or can't have maple syrup, use honey. I haven't tried other sweeteners, but if you do, please share it with us. I love to hear what others do with my recipes! Cooking and baking is a creative process, so don't hesitate to play with the recipe, or modify it to your taste or needs.
Cinnamon Bun Muffins {using coconut flour}
I suggest reading the comments on this recipe because many folks have had success with various substitutions. Thanks to everyone for sharing their successful substitutions!Muffin Ingredients
- 1/2 cup of coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon of sea salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/3 cup of yogurt or dairy-free milk
- 1/2 cup of honey or maple syrup
Cinnamon Topping Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons of honey (or other sweetener)
- 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted (or use ghee or coconut oil)
- 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts (optional; or other nut)
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk until well-blended.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C, or gas mark 4).
- For the muffins, combine all the dry in ingredients and blend well.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and use a mixer to blend (get rid of any clumps of flour), or blend well by hand. Let the batter sit for a few minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisutre.
- Fill muffin or cupcake liners about 3/4 of the way with batter.
- Drip the cinnamon topping over the top of each muffin; about 1 tablespoon per muffin. Use a toothpick, fork, or spoon to blend the topping into the batter. The more you blend it in, the deeper the topping will spread into the muffin.
- Bake for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Cool and enjoy! Store for a few days at room temperature (covered) or keep in the refrigerator for a week or so.
Makes 8 muffins

Not able to Connect TT-3600 with Live Signal [Using LNB Power and 22KHz Tone] |
Not able to Connect TT-3600 with Live Signal [Using LNB Power and 22KHz Tone] |
Oct 20 2008, 01:35 AM
Be nice to me, I am new. Group: New Members Posts: 3 Joined: 20-October 08 Member No.: 11,354 Card: None |
I am facing one serious problem when using techno trend device [TT S2-3600] for tuning to live signal.
I am trying to tune live signal through Techno Trend device [TT S2-3600] directly from Satellite Dish. In this Scenario, Satellite Dish needs LNB voltage and 22 kHz tone from digital receiver [In my case TT S2-3600]. For this, I have to supply LNB voltage and 22 kHz tone output related information in to DirectShow. but how ? The same scenario is working with TT S-2400. When I connect S2-3600, DirectShow is throwing an Error in IMediaControl.Run() function. It returns value is "1" [I guess it is equivalent to false]. This problem is occurring only when I connect TT S2-3600 Direct from Satellite Dish [There is no other h/w in between Dish and Techno Trend]. However same TT S2-3600 is working in when I connect it with distribution system [Where some hardware connect in between Satellite Dish and TT S2-3600] Please let me know if you need any further detail in this regard. Any Reply will be appreciated. :rolleyes: Thanks Harish |

There's a lot of information and guides out there about the best way to increase your website's traffic, but most of it is bullshit. People talk about social networking sites, word of mouth referrals, running pay per click ads on Google, and other similar hogwash. The real trick is to post topless pictures of celebrities on the back end of your website and then wait for them to do something stupid so that their name is in the news.
Sure, this is an underhanded tactic that will artificially inflate your stats, but at the end of the day, stats are all that matters. If you're trying to brag to some girl you're hitting on in a bar about how you run a webpage, she won't care if you've got an Angelfire page with 15 lifetime views. She cares about the big numbers. You need thousands of hits per day to be of any interest to her.
The same goes for when you're trying to scam your way into press only events. The press only gets invited if they have some really big numbers that they can point to. These event planners want their things to be seen by the most eyeballs possible and wasting a ticket on you and your shitty blog isn't a good investment for them. But if your numbers are big, then you're more likely to be invited.
The reason I know this works is that Tears of Time has gotten a record breaking number of hits today from Google searches for topless pictures of Courtney Love. Apparently the haggard old bitch decided to take her top off at a show in Brazil (people still want to see her play music?). Also apparently, an over the hill coke whore's tits coming out is a newsworthy event. In normal internet fashion, the flood of searches for her withered mammaries unfolded with some spillover page views landing on a much older image of her that was posted to our site weeks ago in an unrelated article (and subsequently replaced with an image that doesn't look like porn).
The lesson of the day is to always leave obscure pictures of topless celebrities on the back end of your website because you never know when the Milf Rock fetishists are going to pour out of the woodwork.

Student Loans Topics
Democracy Now! reports about the growing student debt crisis.
On the heels of President Obama's signing of a measure keeping federally subsidized student loans at a relatively low rate through 2015, Rolling Stone political reporter Matt Taibbi joins us to discuss how the high price of U.S. college tuition and the federal expansion of student debt to pay for it pose a major threat to the economy. In his new article, "Ripping Off Young America: The College-Loan Scandal," Taibbi writes: "The...Aug 20, 2013 | Story
The interest rate for federally subsidized student loans has doubled to 6.8 percent after Congress failed to reach a deal to avoid the hike. A proposal by Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren to lower student loan interest rates to 0.75 percent — the same rate given to big banks on government loans — also faltered before the deadline. Lawmakers will still have a chance to come to an agreement before the next school year, but whatever...Jul 03, 2013 | Story
Students and administrators at New York City's Cooper Union are clashing over the future of one of the last private universities in the United States to offer free tuition.

Today marks what activists are calling 1T Day, the day U.S. student debt reaches $1 trillion. A coalition of groups from Occupy Wall Street plan to gather on college campuses and communities around the country to protest record-high college costs and call for an extension of low-interest rates on federally subsidized Stafford loans.

Monday was a day of action for university students on both coasts angered by the rising cost of tuition and the crackdowns on their recent protests.

Seeing a bear is always a thrill, even when it is in the mountainous Northern Tier counties, where the major portion of Pennsylvania's bear population is thriving.
Three members of our McKean County hunting camp, myself included, recently had a close look at Ursus americanus.
On Wednesday, we were in camp to do some work on the structure's roof. In the evening, we were chatting with Jim, our neighbor and permanent resident of the village of Betula, who at some time during the discussion told us of garbage being strewn across his yard after a bear apparently raided his trash can.
At 9 p.m. Wednesday, there was still a little daylight outside when Jim started to leave. He got as far as our kitchen, when he stopped and started yelling for everyone to "See this!"
Walking through our yard toward the cabin was a bear. The bruin may have weighed 200 pounds and had what appeared to be exceptionally long legs. The animal was heading straight for the gas grill, which was used only about an hour earlier to grill some burgers.
As we gathered at the kitchen window, the bear must have sensed our presence and turned and slowly ambled away, disappearing in the trees toward some camps down the road.
We have heard tales of bears visiting neighboring camps and residences. Years ago, a nuisance bear had to be trapped out of the village. We even have a photograph, taken by our neighbor, of a bear crossing our ground-level deck at the rear of camp. But never has anyone in camp witnessed a bear this close to the building. Over the years, we have seen deer, even turkey, pass through the yard, but this was a first for us.
One story we hear was a nearby drinking and eating establishment had a bag of trash sitting just inside a rear screen door leading into the kitchen. A young bear pushed open the screen door, entered the kitchen, grabbed the trash bag and ran off.
Our encounter was not over.
About an hour later, a cousin was leaving camp to make a phone call home. The cell phone coverage is poor in our immediate area. As he stepped out the back door, he came face-to-face with the bear.
"He was close enough I could have spit on him," was the explanation.
Of course, both bear and human were surprised. We were called to the back door in time to see the animal run through the yards and onto the back porch of the neighbor's house, where we hear a trash can being knocked over after which the animal jumped off the porch and ran into the woods.
The bear, perhaps a year or year-and-a-half old, was not aggressive. It was obvious to us the animal was in search of food. This time of the year, there are no berries, other fruits and mast available in the woods and their pickings can be pretty lean.
Hungry bears can be dangerous.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission warns "black bears will consume almost anything. They will eat human food, garbage, bird feed, pet foods and livestock feed. They also raid cornfields and beehives. Once bears find easily accessible food sources, whether on a farm or in a housing development, they lose their wariness of people and will keep coming back as long as food is available.
"The best way to get rid of these unwanted visitors is to remove the food source for a month or more, but even then, there are no guarantees. A persistent bear may damage property, increase the risk of human injury, or become an unwanted visitor in other parts of the neighborhood. And, all too often, fed bears become dead bears."
Doe licenses: With general hunting license sales underway, Pennsylvania Game Commission reminds hunters that county treasurers will begin accepting antlerless deer license applications from resident hunters, starting Monday, July 9, and from nonresidents beginning Monday, July 30.
For the 2012-13 license year, antlerless deer license fees are the same as they have been since 1999, except for the 70-cent transaction fee attached to the purchase of each license and permit, which is paid directly to Active Outdoors, the Nashville-based company that runs Pennsylvania Automated License System (PALS). This transaction fee means residents will need to write checks made payable to "County Treasurer" for $6.70. Non-residents must pay $26.70.
By state law, antlerless deer licenses will continue to be sold only by county treasurers, so hunters will need to prepare and mail separate applications for antlerless deer licenses. A list of the mailing addresses for the 65 county treasurers that issue antlerless deer licenses is included in the 2012-13 Digest, which is provided to each license buyer.

Why It Is Used
Idarubicin is one of the drugs used in chemotherapy to treat acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). AML causes blood cells that are not normal to grow quickly. These bad cells crowd out your good cells. Chemotherapy is used to destroy the abnormal blood cells and make room for new, normal cells to grow.
How Well It Works
Idarubicin works well as part of the chemotherapy for some people with AML. But how well it works may depend on how far along your cancer is.
Side Effects
Side effects are common with idarubicin and can include:
- Decreased numbers of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
- Nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite.
- Headache or seizures.
- Cardiac problems, such as an enlarged heart and irregular heartbeat.
- Hair loss. Hair will grow back when treatment ends.
- Decreased platelet counts (thrombocytopenia), which may lead to bleeding in the digestive tract causing tarry stools. It may also cause bleeding under the skin, in the urine, or other places in the body.
- Mouth sores (stomatitis).
Peripheral neuropathies, which may be irreversible and
may be made worse by exercise. Symptoms include:
- Numbness and tingling.
- Unsteadiness when standing or walking.
- Clumsiness of the hands and feet.
- Cough and hoarseness.
- Eye problems such as blurred vision or loss of the ability to see colors.
- Kidney damage.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Idarubicin should be used only under the supervision of a medical oncologist or hematologist.
You may not be able to get pregnant or father a child after taking this drug. Talk to your doctor about this before you start treatment.
Idarubicin can cause birth defects. Do not use this drug if you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant or father a child while you are taking it.
Do not use this drug if you have:
- Had a previous allergic reaction to idarubicin.
- Heart disease.
- Kidney damage.
- A history of gout and kidney stones.

How to Avoid Cold Sores — and How to Treat Them If You Can't
Whether you've never had a cold sore or you get them frequently, here's what you need to know about treating the condition.
By Dr. Jessica Wu
It might seem glamorous to kiss a handsome leading man, but did you know that making out can be an occupational hazard? An actress on a top-rated sitcom told me that she once faced a kissing scene with a costar who had a cold sore on his lip. The crew was on a tight schedule, and the director was adamant that the scene be filmed that day. However, this actress refused to do the scene (smart woman!). Although she caught a lot of flak for it, she stood her ground, and the scene was rewritten so she didn't have to go anywhere near her costar's lips.
She was right to protest, because cold sores can be very contagious. Most cold sores on the lips and face are caused by a strain of herpes virus, and although this strain is different from the one that usually causes genital herpes, either strain can be spread from one region to the other during close contact. The bottom line is, once you've caught herpes, the virus stays in your system for life — whether it's a cold sore on your face or lesions down south. Most of the time, the virus lies dormant in your skin, but certain conditions can trigger an outbreak. Stress, sunlight, or illness (like a cold or flu) can weaken your immune system and your body's ability to keep the virus under control. Cold weather, wind, and local irritation (such as you might experience from a facial, waxing, or laser treatments) can also trigger outbreaks.
For mild outbreaks, Abreva ointment and lysine supplements can help speed healing. Both are available at drugstores without a prescription. Some outbreaks may require a few days of prescription antiviral pills, such as Valtrex, Famvir, and Zovirax. For my patients who get five or more outbreaks a year, I sometimes recommend taking one of these pills daily as a preventive measure. If you have a history of cold sores, you should notify your doctor or facialist before you undergo any facial treatments. And avoid kissing anyone with sores or scabs around the mouth!
For a polished look this fall, invest in a makeup primer like Smashbox Photo Finish. This multipurpose gel will tame flaky patches and help your foundation go on more smoothly and last longer. It's free of oil, so it'll help mattify shiny areas. Go with the travel size because you only need a small drop for each use — and it comes in a squeeze tube for better control.
Don't Be Embarrassed...
Ask Dr. Jessica Wu your most personal skin questions — from bikini rash to wrinkles, acne to psoriasis. Whatever the bump, rash, or scar, Dr. Wu can provide professional, frank, helpful advice.

"Cyber Monday" is about to arrive.
This is the time when people go online to shop for their family and loved ones.
While you could get them the latest fad gadget, you could instead buy something to improve their habits.
Often a habit change is viewed as something you do alone, but there are also a lot of tools and gizmos that will make the job a little bit easier.
You could get devices that can be used for tracking, monitoring and just making the change more fun.
This post includes a few of the best ones for Cyber Monday and beyond.


text: So as I'm drinking my coffee this morning in lovely gent, Belgium, I glance out to the window to catch my old friend, Mr. Sunny blue sky. So I take my espresso to the dome and begin the process of getting dressed to ride. Every ride has some sorta tactic to getting ready, I generally throw everything I think I need into a pile, then throw it on. Whatever that's not important. On to the belgian inevitable . The moment I zip my jersey and get my shoes on, the rain starts. Out of nowhere! it's 45 minutes later now and it's still raining. Where the hell did the blue skies go? I don't know, they are gone. But I'm patiently waiting on the return. I've done too many rides in the rain this year to start wet again, so I wait. I suppose another cup of coffee is in store? I think Yes.

Poppies' papery, almost artificial-looking flowers are well-loved, and there are a surprising number of different kinds. The finer species including Iceland, Alpine, and Atlantic poppies have a special charm with flowers in myriad colors in spring. Oriental poppies are bristly and less refined, but they have huge, exploding flowers of brilliant reds, pinks, white, oranges, and plum, some with double flowers in summer. Most are blotched with black at the base and centered with a boss of black stamens. After these plants give their all at bloom time, the foliage dies back and looks ragged, so plan to fill the newly available space with annuals, dahlias, baby's breath, or other later-blooming plants.

The erect 4-foot-tall metallic-blue gray stems and leaves of 'Heavy Metal' switchgrass make a striking contrast to the mounds of Oriental poppies. They enjoy similar situations.
Shasta daisyThe sparkling white single daisies of 'Alaska' Shasta daisy echo the flower shape of poppies while providing a contrast in color and foliage -- especially with strong-color poppies.
VeronicaWith erect spikes of bright blue flowers, veronica works well against Iceland poppies, providing a vertical accent and color contrast.
SalviaThe upright deep purple-blue spikes of small flowers on sturdy stems make fine companions for Oriental or Iceland poppies.

yuukoku (11/17/2013) [-] There's a theory that some pharmaceutical company already has the cure, they're just holding onto it for now because the revenue and jobs that cancer research generates is insane. I blew this off at first, but when I saw the amount of money they pull in, I'm starting to think that they may be right. #104 -
yunoacceptnumbers (11/17/2013) [-] nah... that's pretty... improbable... at first look at #20 second - the field of cancer is huge... every tissue in your body can become it's own type of cancer (and i means tissue - not just organ or bodypart) and then there is the major problem: where there is life, there goes something wrong - thats how we evolved from bananamongling monkeys to... well moneymongling shaved monkey... but the point is that as long as noone designes life there will be faulty behaviour in cells (life itself) and even then nothing can be promised... cancer is nothing one can prevent and therefor cure. I mean - kill one cancerous cell and you can count the days for the next to blow everything over... #20 -
asasinmonkey (11/17/2013) [-] Yeah except the pharmaceutical companies will never let a cure for any of the major money making diseases like cancer. They make to much money for them to let that happen. #64 -
endospore (11/17/2013) [-] I really, really hope you're just trolling. You have to be the stupidest person alive to believe this. 1. Cancer is not just 1 disease. It's several dozen, each requiring a completely different cure. 2. Non-profits are researching cures, too. They have no reason to hide results. 3. A company that CURED CANCER would be able to print their own money. They would make FAR, FAR more money on the PR and selling the cure in one year than they'd ever make otherwise. Not only that, but they'd be given a blank check in case of any other future screwups. Someone find out they're using illegal human testing in a third world country funded by drug money? No one cares because they fucking cured cancer. #107 -
asasinmonkey (11/18/2013) [-] Yeah alright buddy. Think what you will about my intelligence but your comment shows you have no idea how the world actually works. Also its pretty obvious i was speaking in general but whatever. I dont need approval from some dick on the internet with little to no life experience. #102 -
yuukoku (11/17/2013) [-] It will be much more difficult to make money off of something that's already cured. Let's speak hypothetically; if someone comes out and says "we cured cancer," people will stop caring. They stop donating to anything about cancer because there's a cure already and they don't need any more money (well, from the general public's perspective, they don't need any more money). Then, they start to protesting about how curing cancer should cost less. If you don't find ways to decrease the price in order to meet consumer demand, other companies will see what you did and find cheaper, more effective ways of doing the same thing. It becomes like any other commodity and therefore easier for everyone to make money off of, which takes away from profit or makes the job harder. Not only that, but do you know how many people are employed to search for the "cure for cancer?" They'd all be out of work. I know that there's no singular cure for cancer, but if they find a whole treatment that works 100%, they can say that they've cured cancer. I know that they don't just give you a shot and make you instantly better. You have to look at it from the standpoint of a business trying to make money. #68 -
nervaaurelius (11/17/2013) [-] Except that's not edgy. Fj users don't really know how to use edgy anymore. #88 -
yuukoku (11/17/2013) [-] Yeah, but what you're saying actually could be true. Pharmaceutical companies sort of control everything in the medical industry. I saw this documentary about how they got some doctor's medical license removed because he was treating pretty serious diseases with high doses of antibiotics, slowly discovering that they actually were curing his patients. | ||
