Reforming the Law of Taxi and Private Hire Services - A Consultation Paper
Consultation Paper 203
- Author:
- Law Commission
- Publisher:
- TSO (The Stationery Office)
'Reforming the Law of Taxi and Private Hire Services - A Consultation Paper (Consultation Paper 203)' presents the Law Commission's provisional proposals for reform of the legal framework relating to Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles.
Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles (PHVs) are an important part of local transport. They operate in highly regulated markets where safety and quality control are paramount.
Licensing covers key areas such as:
quality of services;
the fitness of drivers;
fare regulation; and
restrictions on the number of licenses issued.
The current law on taxis and PHVs has been criticised for being complex and outdated. These proposals retain the important distinction between taxis - which can "ply for hire" on the street or a cab rank - and private hire vehicles which can only be pre-booked. But all vehicles would be subject to national minimum safety standards and, for private hire vehicles, these would replace more than 340 sets of local regulations.
The proposed reforms would reduce the burden on business as private hire firms would be free to work across the country without geographical restrictions. This would contribute to widening consumer choice and to making services cheaper and more competitive.
The Commission also makes suggestions covering a wide range of issues, including improving provision for persons with disabilities, quantity restrictions and enforcement.

Epidermolysis bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of rare inherited skin diseases that are characterized by the development of blisters following minimal pressure to the skin. Blistering often appears in infancy in response to simply being held or handled. In rarer forms of the disorder, EB can be life-threatening. There is no cure for the disorder. Treatment focuses on preventing and treating wounds and infection.
Epidermolysis bullosa has three major forms and at least 16 subtypes. The three major forms are EB simplex, junctional EB, and dystrophic EB. These can range in severity from mild blistering to more disfiguring and life-threatening disease. Physicians diagnose the form of the disease based on where the blister forms in relation to the epidermis (the skin's outermost layer) and the deeper dermis layer.
Genetic profile
EB can be inherited as the result of a dominant genetic abnormality (only one parent carries the abnormal gene) or a recessive genetic abnormality (both parents carry the abnormal gene).
EB simplex results from mutations in genes responsible for keratin 5 and 14, which are proteins that give cells of the epidermis its structure. EB simplex is transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion.
Dystrophic EB is caused by mutations in genes for type VII collagen, the protein contained in the fibers anchoring the epidermis to the deeper layers of the skin. The genetic mutations for junctional EB are found in the genes responsible for producing the protein Laminin-5. Dystrophic EB is an autosomal disorder and will only result if both parents transmit an abnormal gene during conception.
The prevalence of epidermolysis varies among different populations. A study in Scotland estimated the prevalence to be one in 20,400. Researchers in other parts of the world estimate the prevalence to be one in 100,000. This variance is due to the variability of expression. Many cases of epidermolysis bullosa are often not accurately diagnosed and thus, are not reported.

A Georgia man has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes to allow a thief to steal $1 million worth of equipment from an Albany Marine base.
U.S. Attorney's officials say 67-year-old Shelby Janes, of Albany, pleaded guilty Wednesday to bribery of a public official in the Middle District of Georgia.
Janes, former civilian inventory control manager at a Marine Corps Logistics Base, said he helped an unidentified person steal cranes, bulldozers, front-end loaders and more from the base. The equipment was meant to be repaired or destructed but was resold instead.
Janes told officials the equipment was worth over $1 million, and he received a nearly $100,000 kickback in the scheme.
Janes faces a maximum of 15 years in prison and is ordered to pay restitution to the Department of Defense.

Winter Moisturizing Soap
With winter coming, I thought I'd make a extra moisturizing soap. This soap takes a simple base and adds moisturizers like Lanolin, Shea Butter and Vit. E. The receipe can be found here
With winter coming, I thought I'd make a extra moisturizing soap. This soap takes a simple base and adds moisturizers like Lanolin, Shea Butter and Vit. E. The receipe can be found here
This video is an updated version of a previous video that had audio problems. This is a quick video to show the process I went through to create a very nice soap with lavender flowers embedded in it. The soap is made with milk (heavy whipping cream) and then palm oil, coconut oil, soybean oil and cocoa butter. I added Vitamin E, Peach coloring and Lotus Blossom fragrance after the soap reached trace. Enjoy!
This video talks about some tricks you can use to preserve the oils that you use to make soap. You can use Vit. E, BHT, Rosemary oil or just put the oil in a fridge. Here is the recipe: http://metaphysicalfarms.com/r/3e

Fluid (goat's milk) needed: |
When making natural handmade soap, you can make all types of soaps to fit your desired niche. One of the possibilities is that of including an exfoliant in your soap to help lift away any dead skin or caked on dirt that needs a little extra scrubbing to get clean. One such exfoliant is Sodium Bentonite Powder which can be found at most health-food stores. This exfoliant will not only remove dirt and dead skin but also help to lift away the toxins in your skin. If you don't have access to this clay, you can also start using products you probably have sitting around in your kitchen right now. You can use poppy seeds, blueberry seeds, ground almond meal, ground walnut husk meal or even ground oatmeal. Below you will find a more complete list which you can experiment with.
Once you have chosen what exfoliant to use, you will need to add it to your soap recipe. The perfect spot to add exfoliants is right after your soap has reached trace and you are adding your fragrance, superfat or color to the soap batch. With most exfoliants, because of their fine granular nature, you will want to mix them beforehand with a carrier oil so you don't have to worry about lumps in your soap. There is nothing worse than finding huge pockets of exfoliant in your soap when you are using the soap. Once you have added the exfoliant to the soap mixture, you just need to mix it in thoroughly. Some exfoliants may thicken your soap batch while you are stirring it. Don't panic! Your soap will be fine. Just continue to mix the soap but get it into the mold quickly before it thickens beyond your ability to fill the mold. At this point, you would treat this soap as you would any other soap and allow it to saponify for a few days, cut it and then let it dry in bars.
Fluid (kombucha tea) needed: added patchouli and cedar essential oils |
If you are a soap maker, you have at some point come across the controversy of soaps verses detergents. Many see soap as a natural product whereas detergents are synthetic creations coming from a lab. In reality, both soaps and detergents are synthetic products that take naturally occurring chemicals and synthesize them into a new product. The big difference for soapers is that soap is easy to make at home while detergent is far too complex. Soap and detergent, while both good at cleaning, have different properties when placed in different environments. The biggest difference is that when soap is placed in hard water or an acidic solution, it forms a scum that is difficult to get out of clothes (if using for washing). Detergent does not suffer from this problem. The other major difference is that detergent works as efficiently in cold water as in warm. It is really these two reasons that detergent has taken over the laundry soap business.
The basic ingredients you will need to make your own laundry soap are:
Soap: You really can use any bar of soap you like for this. I tend to like to use a simple soap that is made of 1/3 olive oil, 1/3 palm oil and 1/3 coconut oil that has been made with very little superfat discount. You will need to use about 3-4 oz of soap for this recipe.
Washing Soda: The biggest supplier of washing soda is Arm and Hammer. Because of this you might get confused between this product and their baking soda product. They are not the same! Washing soda is sodium carbonate whereas baking soda is sodium bicarbonate. This powder will give your soap a boost in removing dirt and odors.
Borax: This ingredient is a naturally occurring mineral that helps remove various forms of oils and dirts as well as deodorizing the laundry. Borax is just another name for sodium borate and can be found in most grocery stores in the laundry aisle.
The process of putting these ingredients together is not very time consuming and is well worth the cost savings per load of laundry (it costs about a penny a load). Grate the soap and put it in a sauce pan. Add 6 cups water and heat it until the soap melts. Add the washing soda and the borax and stir until it is dissolved. Remove from heat. Pour 4 cups hot water into the bucket. Now add your soap mixture and stir. Now add 1 gallon plus 6 cups of water and stir. Let the soap sit for about 24 hours and it will gel. You use half a cup per load. You now have homemade laundry soap!
When you use this soap, you will notice it does not act like laundry detergent when cleaning your clothes. The homemade soap will be a little thiner of a gel than detergent and you will not notice as many soap bubbles when washing. This is perfectly natural and in fact, the bubbles do not indicate any type of cleaning properties. Now enjoy your freedom from the laundry detergent companies!
If you look on various food products like candy bars, yogurt, protein powders, baby milk powders, rice milk powders, toothpaste and animal and pet foods; you will notice a peculiar ingredient: Sodium Bentonite. This substance expands when wet, absorbing as much as several times its dry mass in water. Despite its fancy name, sodium bentonite is really just clay. Because of it's absorbing properties, bentonite clay has been used the world around for medicinal purposes. The first known use of clay for medicine was in ancient Mesopotamia where physicians used the material as an anti-inflammatory agent and antiseptic. A recent study has found that Bentonite clay is actually anti-bacterial even able to take on the super bacteria MRSA. Further use of clay is by taking it internally to sweep away harmful toxins and heavy metals that may be residing in the body. In the stomach, the negative electrical charges of tiny clay particles attract positively charged toxins from stomach fluids. This clumping prevents very small particles, such as toxic molecules, from passing through the walls of the intestines and entering the bloodstream. The toxins and the clay are then expelled from the body in the normal bowel movements.
The actual use of the clay is fairly simple. One way you can use it is in a face-mask. The anti-bacterial properties and the toxin absorbing properties of the clay will work effectively against various types of acne. The clay will also give you skin a radiant glow. To make such a mask, you just need to get a quarter of a cup of bentonite powder and mix in enough water to make a substance that is similar to room-temperature butter. After applying the clay to your face and allowing it to dry, wash off the clay and apply a gentle moisturizer to replace any rancid oil that the clay has removed from your skin.
To take the clay internally, you will want to start out with no more than a teaspoon of clay in an entire glass of water. Your body will need to adjust to the clay just as it does to adding fiber to your diet. The key is to not intake too much clay as to have it start absorbing water from your body making you dehydrated. The more clay you drink, the more you may notice your bowel movements to turn grey. This is normal but it does mean you should not increase the amount of clay you are intaking.
Overall, bentonite powder is a nice natural way to gently flush your body of harmful toxins and heavy metals as well as making your skin look amazing.
One of the major ingredients in soap making is Caustic Soda or Lye. Most soap-makers use industrial grade Sodium Hydroxide as their Caustic Soda but really any strong base would work in the soap making process. One such caustic that can be produced at home is Caustic Potash, or Potassium Hydroxide. While potassium hydroxide is often used to make softer bars of soap or even liquid soap, the type of wood ashes that are used can be selected to impart extra properties to the soap that would not be available to industrially purified chemicals. What every lye you choose to use the metaphysical farms lye calculator lets you choose either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide when making soap. If you want to know how to make your own lye you will need the following equipment:
The first ingredient you will need is soft water. You can obtain this by buying soft distilled water (no mineral water), getting water from a dehumidifier or the traditional way is to collect rain water in a barrel. This ingredient by far is the most important to get right to ensure a good leaching of lye. Next you will need a container with a spout at the bottom. Traditionally this has been a wooden barrel with a hole drilled on the bottom big enough for a cork but if you don't have access to wooden barrels, you can easily use a cooler with a spout at the bottom. You will also need rocks and straw or cheese cloth to filter the ash. The final ingredient you need is wood ashes. The best ashes to use are hardwoods and you want to avoid evergreens (like pine and fir). Other things you can use are ashes of herbs and flowers to add a special touch to your lye.
Quick Reference
Fluid (water and honey) needed: vanilla and rose fragrance |
The process for making soap via the Hot Process method is quite similar to the Cold Process method. In fact many of the same recipes can be use interchangeably between the two methods. In the extended entry below, I have listed the materials needed to start the soap making process. The basic premis behind soap making is to take an acid (fat) and mix it with a base (lye) to form a salt like product that is able to change the surface tension when mixed with water making it ideal for whisking away particles of dirt and oil.
Safety Equipment
Safety First! You will need a pair of safety goggles and a pair of safety gloves. Lye is extremely caustic. You'll notice just how caustic if you leave it open on a humid day. You might want to also consider an apron specifically for making soap. Unless you're like me and you think holes in your jeans are cool.
Meditation is all about finding a space where you can quiet your mind and focus on the present moment. The medical benefits speak for themselves but finding that space can be quiet difficult. Some use binaural audio to help them focus, others find a quiet spot. Others use specially designed seating to help improve the quiet space. One such method is the use of a zafu cushion.
Although 'zafu' is often translated as 'sewn seat' in American English, the meaning of the Japanese 'kanji' is different. 'za' means 'seat' and 'fu' means a seat stuffed with Typha (the fluffy, soft, downy fibres of the disintegrating Typha heads). The Japanese zafu originates in China, where these meditation seats were originally filled with Typha. Today, that is no longer the case in Japan or China. An alternate translation of zafu is 'cushion for sitting' or 'sitting cushion', where za means 'sitting' or 'sit' and fu means 'cushion'. The words zabuton, zafuton and futon are closely linked. The word 'zazen' meaning 'seated meditation' or 'sitting meditation' is also closely linked. In western terms, colloquially speaking, 'zafu' refers to a meditation cushion, and 'zabuton' refers to the cushioned mat on which a zafu is placed.
Fluid (mint tea) needed: |
Someone suggested in a recent post about meditation that I look into the effects of Binaural Beats. I had researched the subject several years ago and had good results but the technology for generating the audio was still in its proprietary phase and so the (free) tools that I was using required C compilers and building your own waveforms in text files. Today, there are binaural sound production application all over the mobile market as well as for home usage.
For those unfamiliar with binaural audio (or binaural beats), the basic premise is that playing two different frequencies, one in the left ear and the other in the right, results in a perceived third frequency. Scientific research has shown that the aural effects are measurable and actually do create these audio frequency hallucinations as well as physical responses to the hallucinated sound as if the listener was actually "hearing" the sound. Further research has shown that brainwave patterns will begin to move closer to the frequency of continual sound. This process is called entrainment and it is this process that has lead to the study and use of binaural beats to change brainwave patterns to reach a desired mental state. The table below lists observed brainwave frequencies and what they are associated with when observing them:
Frequency range | Name | Usually associated with: |
> 40 Hz | Gamma waves | Higher mental activity, including perception, problem solving, fear, and consciousness |
13â39 Hz | Beta waves | Active, busy or anxious thinking and active concentration, arousal, cognition, and or paranoia |
7â13 Hz | Alpha waves | Relaxation (while awake), pre-sleep and pre-wake drowsiness, REM sleep, Dreams |
4â7 Hz | Theta waves | deep meditation/relaxation, NREM sleep |
< 4 Hz | Delta waves | Deep dreamless sleep, loss of body awareness |
Binaural beat stimulation has been used fairly extensively to induce a variety of states of consciousness, and there has been some work done in regards to the effects of these stimuli on relaxation, focus, attention, and states of consciousness. Studies have shown that with repeated training to distinguish close frequency sounds that a plastic reorganization of the brain occurs for the trained frequencies. So, in theory, those that have trouble quieting the mind or sitting still long enough to focus for meditation could use this method to train the mind to be able to enter into these brainwave states.

A Man is Arrested for Trying to Steal Clothes From a Dollar Store . . . After He Pooped on the Floor
Earlier this week, 42-year-old Gregory Vice of Louisville, Kentucky went to a Dollar General store, took off his clothes, and put on some clothes from the rack.
Oh . . . and in between taking off his clothes and putting on the new clothes, Gregory squatted down and POOPED ON THE FLOOR.
Naturally, that got a TON of attention. Some other customers SAW him . . . and we're sure others SMELLED him.

HeartWorship: Rich Toward God
In one of those instances - responding directly to someone who had asked Him to arbitrate between brothers about an inheritance - He told a story about a rich man who planned to build bigger and better and store up his wealth and retire, but God called him a fool ... required his life of him that night ... and asked him who would get all his accumulated things. Then Jesus said: "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God." (Luke 12:21)
In Matthew 6, His meaning is clear: If you're too much invested in clothes or cars or cash, you need to be aware that there are things like moths and rust and thieves. It's a topsy-turvy concept: treasures gained by giving away; wealth accumulated by divestiture; richness toward God through poverty of spirit.
And when it's demonstrated by a widow giving the tiny amount she has, the God whom she worships praises her generosity.

Good post Keith, It is my observation that Jesus spoke more of the Kingdom than any other subject. But there are thousands of verses throughout the Bible that speak about money/ riches.
- PatrickMead said...
It took me years to finally understand that everything I own is either dust or will be on day. When that fact got through I announced that anyone who wants can come and go through my library. If they want to read a book, take it. If they want to bring it back, do so. If they don't bring it back, fine. I cannot tell you how hard that was for this bibliophile but I had to do it: I have attacked others for hoarding money when I hoarded knowledge. Tsk tsk.

I've "skimmed" through your latest post several times, but am just taking the time to really read it.
Our home has flooded twice in the last 10 years from excessive rain, in 1995 and 2001, although God was gracious to spare us this latest time in the hurricane, and so I learned first hand what it means to lose many, many things I had kept and treasured over the years.
But, you know what? As a result, most closets in our house are now half empty, or less, and I have given away probably 75% of the books I had long collected over the years. Yet I find my life being more free than it has ever been and I rarely (although once in a while) look for or miss those things I gave away to someone else.
I have given most of the things that had any value to me or which were valued by someone else, starting with my 3 children, and yet I would have to say I am happier now than I have ever been.
Thanks for the post, Keith, about our "riches toward God." Those are the only ones worth holding on to and not letting go. Those are the only ones of eternal value. - 12/13/2005 10:44:00 PM

I read your post thinking YES, why can't we just let this lesson sink in??

There are some things in this life we participate in, and when we do, we are participating in the divine nature of God. Love is definitely one of them, giving not hoarding is another. - 12/15/2005 07:40:00 PM

Thanks for this post, especially right now in the shopping season. I tend to want to give my kids everything at Christmas, but also want to be careful about the lessons they are learning about hoarding and materialism.

The Food Safety Enhancement Act (H.R. 2749), a bill currently being moved through the House of Representatives and gaining attention over the summer, could give the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authority to regulate the way animals are raised on farms—a prospect that worries many small farmers.
The bill brings to light the challenges of determining which government agency should be regulating which process. And generally, farmers are more comfortable with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) governing farm production policies.
Many farmers believe that the FDA should regulate food and not necessarily the living organisms on the farm. One of the biggest concerns among farmers is the lack of FDA expertise regarding on-farm production, as pointed out by North Carolina Farm Bureau President Larry Wooten during his testimony at a June 17 congressional hearing on the bill. The Farm to Consumer News Web site reports that organic supporters are worried about burdensome and expensive regulations that the "food safety police," as they call the FDA, might devise and enforce.
During a food safety hearing last month, however, co-sponsor of the bill, Rep. Henry Waxman (D) of California suggested that most farmers have nothing to worry about and the motivation to give the FDA an increased role in governing farm production stems from "the large number of recent outbreaks that have originated from food contamination on farms," which reveals that "more oversight is needed."
The House is expected to discuss the bill further this week.

Well, *somebody* ought to be responsible. So far, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, hot peppers, peanuts and more, the damn farmers ain't doin' all that much on their own. I mean to include the "processors" too.
And while we're going to excoriate the farmers, lets not leave out the RESTAURANTS. Salad bars, anyone?
Then after we clean up the food, let's say we clean up the Government--while we still can.
Just cause for regulation has been reached with the food industry scandals of the Bush Administration. Past time to clean up the food chain!
That we have moved our food production out of country is sad and dangerous from a security view. Putting our trust in horribly underpaid and over worked foreigners is just the way of the rich and stupid. That our farmers are busy wasting everyone's time and wealth with the corn - oil scam is sad too---but then what's right after eight years of Republican domination?
How will this affect produce imported from Mexico, Chile or the EU?

Perhaps we should clean up the federal government before we trust them to clean up the food, considering the FDA has done such a bang-up job already (Yellow No. 5, anyone? Phenylalanine, anyone? High Fructose Corn Syrup, anyone? Partially Hydrogenated oils, anyone?--And that's just their ventures into food; let's not get started on the drugs...).
It may be unfair, too, to assume the "damn farmers ain't doin' all that much on their own." The farmers are likely doing what they have always done, which has worked well for hundreds of years (or, if anything, has improved). It is on-point to include the Processors and Restaurants (and add "Manufacturers"), though.
Putting the FDA in charge of anything organic or natural is a frightening prospect.
From what I've gleaned from other sources, this "Food Safety" bill would put onerous demands on small farmers. The intent seems reasonable, given the recent outbreaks that FDA found so hard to trace.
It should be noted, however, that the sources of disease have been corporate agriculture. The focus of such a "Food Safety" bill should be to burden these massive corporations with responsibility - something small farmers already self-impose, especially "organic" farmers.
Instead, we see this bill allowing corporate farms to merely sample their product statistically while the small farmer is required to test and certify each and every unit of product. It's bass-ackwards.
The problem, Quinn, is that these mass poisonings aren't being caused by small farmers. They're exclusively the fault of large producers who cut corners for the sake of convenience and profit. And those people absolutely need to be brought back into line. But HR 2749 and similar bills apply blanket restrictions that will be ruinous to small farmers and not really do that much to keep large producers/distributors/processors in check...

text: There are two questions we repeatedly get asked. The first is, "How can I get my bike featured in the magazine?" Which is usually then followed by "How can I get my bike on the cover?" While we wish there was an easy answer to both these questions, it really comes down to what we are looking for at the time, what style of bike is popular, or what kind of bikes we are in need of. As for the cover well, since we only have 12 main cover bikes a year, we have to be very discerning and select a bike that we think will appeal to a large audience. Building a sharp-looking bike that is equal parts performance and custom with a mix of off-the-shelf and unique one-off components, and doing it all out of your garage for less than the cost of a slightly used Harley on Craigslist, is definitely one way to get our attention and make the cover. Which is exactly what Greg Sefcik, owner of Overkill Inc. outside of Madison, Wisconsin, did. Several years back Greg spotted an FXR that Jesse James had built, and fell in love with it. "It was so cool looking. It had pipes that went through the side cover and was a killer orange-ish-gold color. Overall it was just a nice-looking, rideable bike," Greg tells us. "The downfall was the price tag, it was $40,000. I don't have that Hollywood money." So with the image of that bike engrained in his mind, Greg set his sights on getting himself an FXR, and after three years of searching, the perfect project pretty much fell into his lap. Greg started with a stock bagger tank but highly modified it with side plate accents, a custom-molded center section and a Detroit Bros. gas cap. Greg started with a stock bagger tank but highly modified it with side plate accents, a cu The golden shimmer of the twisted stainless steel exhaust fits well with the yellow hue of the bike's basecoat. The golden shimmer of the twisted stainless steel exhaust fits well with the yellow hue of While hanging out at his friend, Ryan Fielding's shop, Paragon Customs, Greg spotted a brand-new Chopper Guys FXR frame and billet swingarm hanging on the wall. After inspecting the frame a little further, he discovered that it was set up to house a late-model FLH drivetrain, which meant he could outfit his FXR project with one of the Moco's modern and reliable Twin Cam engines. "Ryan had taken the frame on trade along with a new trans setup with Andrews close ratio gears," Greg comments. After a quick trip to the bank, Greg loaded up his new frame and trans and headed to his house where his garage would become the headquarters for the build. Working on a tight budget, Greg spent the next year utilizing his contacts, resources, and fabricating/mechanical skills building his dream FXR. "Almost everything on this bike that I didn't make was made by or purchased from some of my buddies that own shops or from a guy who knows a guy," Greg states. "Yet other parts came off other bikes I had built in the past. I would call myself a bike recycler. For example, the wheels were purchased for $400 a piece but they weren't set up for a narrow glide, so I sent the hubs out to Dave at Detroit Bros. to machine them for me." Greg scored an FLH engine off of eBay for only $1,500. But once he got a hold of the mill and tore into it, he realized why he got it so cheap. "When my buddy from Hiley Modified and I took the engine apart, we found out it was complete trash. Our thought was it must have been sitting somewhere wet for a long time or it came out of a lake. The only usable parts were the cases, which makes those cases damn expensive. We rebuilt the engine to 95 ci with all new parts such as H-D flywheels, cylinders, and heads, Screamin' Eagle high-compression pistons and cams, and Custom Chrome rocker boxes." 1 | 2 | » | View Full Article By Eric Ellis Enjoyed this Post?

I promised you more Jewish cookies with cute names and these festive Hamantashen are beauties you will love. If you have fond memories of playing with playdoh as a child, you will enjoy the tactile similiarity this dough has to that product. Except this product smells so much better, of butter and sweet vanilla. Encasing a lively and textured filling of ground poppy seeds, these three-cornered cookies have an intriguing persona, a little bit pastry-like, yet miniaturized and dainty. Jewish people eat Hamantashen during the holiday Purim as a symbolic reference to an evil man named Haman who wore a three-sided hat and who wanted to kill all the Jews in Persia. He did not succeed.
Those of us who are practiced Hamantashen eaters fall are divided into camps: sturdy cookie dough disciples or delicate pastry dough devotees. Also, some of us favour poppy seed fillings and others prefer prunes. In Israel, where demand is high and competition fierce during Purim, bakers are dreaming up new ways to seduce customers, with modern takes on this traditional treat: marzipan, sour apples, pistachio and rosewater fillings are now on offer. As Joan Nathan explains in her recent article on modern Hamantashen in The New York Times, "the globalization of Israeli food. . . . inspires this generation of Israeli bakers to compete for ways to tweak tradition for a more sophisticated clientele."
Lehamim Bakery in Tel Aviv sells a variety of unconventionally flavored hamantashen - photo courtesy of The New York Times
All of this to say that the Hamantashen culture is here to stay and is adapting to new tastes and influences for a new generation. Never one to get in the way of good baking, I applaud these creative ventures and will say this: I still love the old standards, prune and poppy seed. And I fall into the cookie dough camp, though I flirted with the pastry dough rendition for many years. Today I offer you what I consider the gold medal of Hamantashen, a traditional poppy seed studded treat with a sturdy cookie dough casing. If you fall in love with these, go forth and experiment with my blessing.
Traditional Hamantashen adapted from Marcy Goldman's A Passion For Baking
Dough: 1 cup unsalted butter; 1+1/4 cups sugar; 3 large eggs; 1/4 cup orange juice; 1+1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract; 4 cups of all-purpose flour; 1/2 tsp. kosher salt; 2+1/2 tsp. baking powder. Egg wash: one egg, beaten.
My filling: 2 cups poppy seeds, ground in a spice grinder; approx. 1/2 cup granulated sugar or to taste; approx. 1/3 cup water or enough to evenly moisten the poppy seeds; 1 tbsp. runny honey; 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon; pinch of kosher salt. Combine filling ingredients in a pot and cook over medium heat, stirring continually, until thickened to a moist paste, about 3 minutes. You want the filling to be firm enough to hold together when pinched. Cool. Filling will continue to thicken as it cools. Can be prepared ahead and kept, covered, in the refrigerator for a few days.
In a mixing bowl cream the butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time and blend until silky. Stir in the orange juice and vamilla. Mix to blend. Fold in flour, salt and baking powder and mix to form a soft but firm dough. Cover and let dough rest for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide the dough into 3 flattened discs and work with one portion at a time. Roll out each disc onto a lightly floured counter to a thickness of 1/8 of an inch. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter and cut as many rounds as you can. Brush the rounds with egg wash. Fill with a generous teaspoon of filling. Draw 3 sides together into the centre. You should now have a 3-cornered or triangular pastry. Pinch the sides together where they meet, leaving some filling showing in the middle. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Brush egg wash on the top of each filled pastry. Bake at 350 F for 18 - 25 minutes or until golden brown.
All kinds of possibities await you once you fall for Hamantashen. Take inspiration from the creative creations in Israel, including savoury versions, feta cheese and beets, potato and sesame seeds. But remember that tradition has a strong pull and, as the Lehamim bakery owner Uri Scheft, says "even with all the different fillings we make, the most popular is still poppy seed."
Traditional Jewish food is celebrated here:

Playdrome entertains its guests with 36 pin-toppling lanes. Each lane features automatic scoring, plasma TVs, and comfortable seating, with bumpers available for wayward balls and misguided pin-missiles. On Friday and Saturday nights, Playdrome hosts Future Bowl Laser Light & Sound Show, which bathes the lanes in a laser light show as glow-in-the-dark balls and pins collide to the cadence of a live DJ.
In a go kart, you're much closer to the source of horsepower than when you're riding in a car. All that invisible force leaps to life when you hit the accelerator, gently pushing you back into the seat. Drivers at Lehigh Valley Grand Prix feel that pull as they whip around a quarter-mile racetrack in gas-powered Sodi GT5 Proline karts. They slip past one another while making 11 brake-stomping turns, all with a vantage point not afforded by watching races on TV.
The karts feature air-intake units that trap their exhaust and keep the atmosphere fresh, and the track—constructed from 1,300 used Goodyear tires and the shredded remains of Mario Andretti's learner's permit—is outfitted with three observation platforms for track marshals to regulate each lap and guarantee riders' safety. Three-point safety belts, roll bars, helmets, and neck braces also protect racers during their white-knuckle trips around the track. A full-time mechanic keeps finish lines crowded by calibrating karts to run within three-tenths of a second of one another and hanging hundreds of piñatas from the checkered flag. At the facility's bar, Octane, racers can refuel with drinks and food while watching stock-car races on the five 42-inch TVs.
Players at Lehigh Valley Paintball wage simulated war across a variety of battlefields, choosing from a variety of play styles on both speedball and woodsball fields. The staff can also customize markers with engravings or leather wristbands, useful for proudly showing team affiliations, graphic designs, or helping identify guns that have escaped.

Catherine Pritchard
Q: I was recently in a car accident in which my car spun around and around before it finally hit something and stopped. The man who fixed my car said I had hydroplaned but my neighbor said that wasn't so because hydroplaning only happens on larger bodies of water. Who's right? - S.B., Fayetteville
A: Was the road wet when you spun out?
Hydroplaning can occur on any wet road surface, according to safemotorist.com. It happens when your tire encounters more water than it can scatter, the site says. Your tire is then separated from the road surface by a thin layer of water and is actually floating, without traction.
When this happens, you can lose your control of the car.
To lessen your chances of hydroplaning, make sure your tires are always in good shape - not over- or under-inflated and with good tread.
If it's raining, slow down. Hydroplaning can happen even when you're going 15-20 mph over small puddles, according to carsdirect.com.
Avoid driving through puddles or, if you can't avoid them because of the traffic around you, try to slow down as you go through them.
If you feel the car hydroplaning, take your foot off the gas and let the car coast to a slower speed, carsdirect.com says. Don't hit the brakes. If you have an older car without antilock brakes, you could end up skidding.
If you do skid, don't turn toward that direction at that moment. Instead, wait until you feel the car has traction again with the road and then steer. Be sure to test your brakes then because they may have too much water in them.
Q: What's become of Grant who used to be on "Ghost Hunters" on Syfy? Is he still with Roto-Rooter or has he gone in another direction? He left the series a while back, and I miss watching him. - C.C., Hope Mills
A: Wilson is now an artist, a musician, a writer and a honcho at a company that make fantasy games.
He said he left the show last year after eight years because he was worn out by the schedule and the travel and he wanted to spend more time with his family and on other aspects of his life.
Jason Hawes, the long-time friend with whom Wilson founded The Atlantic Paranormal Society in 1990 and then starred with on the show, remains on "Ghost Hunters."
Q: Do you know the nationality of actor Matt Smith on "Doctor Who"? - J.R., Fayetteville
A: He's Gallifreyan. Or British. One of those. ;)
The 30-year-old actor was born and raised in England.

Citadelle Gin Creates Oak Aged Vintage
Filed under: Spirits
While oak aging is standard for everything from wine to whiskey, it's a rarity in the gin world. Cellar master Frederic Gilbert, along with owner Alexandre Gabriel, decided to challenge that with a specific combination of additional botanicals-violet, iris and grains of paradise (part of the 19 used in Citadelle)-designed for optimal oak barrel aging. The idea is that violet and iris provide more floral aromatics, while the grains of paradise contribute a hint of spice. The distillate was then aged for 6 months in lightly charred, 12-year-old reused oak casks. Cognac Ferrand has a bit of history with this kind of creative recycling, as the house also produces rums that receive further aging in former cognac casks. In the case of Citadelle, the oak works its magic to round off the flavor profile with an aromatic crispness and notes of cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, and of course, wood. The vintage will have a production run of 11,250 numbered bottles, worldwide.
Wine Enthusiast named Citadelle's 2009 release one of its "Top 50 Spirits of the Year," so we'll see if aging makes a good thing even better.

The ambiance, the view, the food and the service all were five stars. We had such a beautiful meal and such a special time there.
The venue is great. The outside dining is lovely with a view of the Bay.
We were seated in front of the open kitchen, which makes for a noisy evening. There were five of us celebrating a college graduation, and there was a small wedding party in front of us. Our seating arrangements allowed through traffic to get by us. We're locals, so we took time to get to know our new waiter and the manager. We always enjoy the regional menus and I ordered Casonzei for the second time this month, that's how good it is!.
Great to take out-of-state friends and relatives for the great food and amazing view of downtown San Diego. Service is always top-notch.

We had a very attentive and charming server, and good food at Il Fornaio.
everything was great but there was a lot of noise other than that I felt it was one of the best places I've ever eaten
You can't beat their location... on the bay of Coronado over looking San Diego's skyline across the water. Great food, service, wine list. This is one of our favorite places in all of San Diego and we always go back taking visiting guests with us. Thank you!!
Il Fornaio in Coronado is the first restaurant I think of when I want to take out-of-town guests to dinner or lunch because of the spectacular view of the San Diego skyline and harbor and because of the friendly and comfortable atmosphere. Did I mention the food? After having one of their great wines and sopping up olive oil and balsamic with fresh bread, I almost forget there's going to be some wonderful Italian fare to follow. Their cappllacci di zucca (butternut squash ravioli) is one of my favorites. I give a high grade to any restaurant that can make me want to eat every last bite of salad, and their house salad with just the right amount of dressing and covered with thinly sliced parmesan makes this vegetarian very happy.
Best view of downtown available, merely an addition to good food and fine service. A wonderful place to enjoy an evening, especially to take out of town gurests.
We have gone here for our anniversary 2 years in a row. Great food, ambiance, awesome views. Highly recommend.
Wonderful experience at Il Fornaio for a birthday lunch. Great food, service and ambience. The view can't be beat from just about any table. Highly recommend.
Food was great as usual except this time we had horrible customer service. The waiter, who will remain unknown, saw us only when bringing out food. Disappeared between dishes and left us waiting for 5-10 minutes before he realized we were ready for the next dish. By the end of the night, we had anther waitress helping us since we were just sitting there for a quite some time waiting for a dessert menu and our bill because we had finished our meal... Unfortunately we didn't have the best service but the food and overall atmosphere of the Coronado restaurant can't be beat! Gorgeous view of downtown SD!
Sara was our server and very knowledgeable about the food.
Anna our waitress was superb - everything about the evening was exceptional. Thank you – we will be back!
Lunch with our birthday girlfriend was delightful. The view of the bay was a bonus, and always the food is up to the best of expectations. The unexpected treat was the birthday song, sung in bold Italian, by our gifted waiter. He was the BEST!
From the bar and, attentive bartender Johnny, amazing wine list to the dining room and romantic cityscape this restaurant is romantic, reasonably priced and has great food. I do not remember the waiters name. A real Italian gem!! He was attentive but also aware of how intimate of an evening it was for my fiancé and I and he was respectful. The evening was complete because of the lovely and attentive assistant GM Lorri. She helped in choosing the perfect appetizers and dessert. Every time I have gone there she has taken time to help navigate me and my fellow diners thru the menu and help us select great dishes. She works the room with all the guests making sure everyone has a special doing experience. This is my favorite restaurant!
We completely enjoyed our day on Coronado Island and it was topped off by an excellent lunch. Great food,service and Italian beer.
Took my 90 year old friend for her birthday lunch. Perfect setting with that gorgeous view and no noise since not very busy. Very odd that the response to my phone call 3 days ahead to ask for a window table was to tell me that there was no way that could be assured. Happily we could have had our pick of most every window table! Our server took care of every need in a timely fashion. My guest really enjoyed her cioppino-lots of fish in a savory broth. Odd to have a grilled cheese sandwich served with pasta. Wish I had asked for a salad instead. Grilled veggie sandwich was large, delicious with a nice salad side. Tiramisu with a lighted candle was a complimentary dessert. A really nice gesture and SO delicious even for a non coffee lover!
The design of the restaurant is beautiful, but it was very difficult to read the menu because there simply wasn't enough light at our table. We wound up using the flashlight app on a cellphone. The very charming Italian waiter lamented that everyone has this problem, but apparently management hasn't gotten the memo. Also, it was a cool and windy night, and every time someone came in the front door, we felt it. Don't let them seat you in line with that door!
Our food was great--very hot and prepared to perfection.
The food was fabulous & served in a timely manner. We were dining before going to a show in town & we had plenty of time to enjoy our meal, not be rushed & get to the theater on time. The server was very friendly & professional.
This is a usual stop for me when I visit Coronado. The view of San Diego across the bay is outstanding, just as the food and ambiance is at Il Fornaio. But the important aspect of visiting the restaurant is on the plate, and that's never disappointed me, especially the seafood. Although, this last time I had the rabbit and it was great.
This restaurant is great! Staff was marvelous despite our late arrival due to flight delays. Food is delicious and the views are fantastic!
This restaurant sits right on the water in Coronado. In the backdrop, you have a beautiful view of the bay and downtown. Out in the patio, they have a fireplace as well as inside. Their kitchen is open and you are able to see all the cooks preparing the dishes. At dusk you can see the sunset, it's gorgeous. My husband and I dined here right after our wedding with our 2 best friends. We love the homemade bread, it's delicious. I recommend the pizzas and the risotto, not a fan of their lasagna as it doesn't have ricotta cheese. Our server Gladys was amazing, she was on top of everything. Also in the bar, you have Omar who is the best bartender around and makes super tasty martinis if you are not in the wine mood.
The food was wonderful and the dessert was to die for. The service was excellent.
I like to take my dates to this fabulous restaurant because every step along the way from the receptionist to the servers it is a fabulous experience. Once again no one disappointed. The female Hispanic server was very respectful of our intimate conversations. Dinner was a delight!! After being a vegetarian for 18 years I ordered the rabbit and it was unbelievably tasty moist and seasoned to perfection. The creme brûlée is always a great end to the meal!
We enjoyed a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Il Fornaio and we plan on returning next year.
Our evening was remarkable. Wait staff were superb! Food was excellent. Could not have been better.
Great combo of food, service, and a knock-out location. Best view of the San Diego skyline possible.
Second year in a row have celebrated Thanksgiving dinner here; will probably be back again next year!
We had Thanksgiving dinner this year and sat on the patio. The food was excellent, the service was fabulous, and the view incredible. This is the second Thanksgiving we have done at Il Fornaio and wont be the last
Our group of 12 were completely satisfied with the excellent service, the food. They were very accommodating, we had two small children and helped with their comfort food. I would recommend this restaurant and will be returning.
My wife and I had Thanksgiving dinner, and it was perfect. We had a lovely bottle of wine, the service was impeccable, and the view of downtown San Diego from the heated patio was spectacular. We could make this a Thanksgiving tradition.
Took the family there for Thanksgiving dinner. We are all out-of-owners, so the restaurant pick was made solely from reviews on Open Table. All said it was the best turkey they had ever had. Great scenic view. Attentive and knowledgable service. Very well priced. Can't wait to go back to try the regular menu.
We dined at Il Fornaio on Thanksgiving and it was a memorable experience. The holiday menu had the traditional turkey and all the trimmings and also had selections for vegetarian and seafood lovers. The silky vegetarian butternut soup was delicious as was the butternut ravioli. My husband had the grilled seafood and it was very good. The family next to us had the turkey and it was presented beautifully. Everyone went home with take away bags because the portions are generous. Our server accommodated our request for only olive oil and no butter in the preparation of our food. The view of San Diego at night across the bay is spectacular. Il Fornaio never disappoints.
Food, view and service were all perfect! We made a dinner reservation here on the recommendation of friends who travel to San Diego often. We were not disappointed with any aspect of our experience. My wife and I thouroghly enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back on our next trip to Coronado island. Ask for a window seat! The view from the restaurant back to San Diego is awe inspiring. Dinner began with an impressive wine list, and my martini was spot on. Lots of vegetarian options, too. Based on our overall experience you won't be disappointed if you come here for dinner, as a couple or with friends.
I have been to this restaurant a few times before with family, but to take someone on a date it is the best. Because of open table, I was able to request a table with a great view of downtown. I will use this site again
Il Fornaio was the perfect spot to celebrate my mother's 90th birthday. We all had a fabulous time! The food was perfect for a wide range of tastes.
The pasta and fish are superb! We enjoyed our meal as always and our guests were delighted with every aspect of the restaurant. We enjoyed the dining experience very much!
Returned here on Sunday, 08-Dec-13 to help my girlfriend celebrate her birthday, and watch the parade of lights. Busy as the restaurant was, they were able to accommodate us. We had a perfect view from table 31 and the food and service were outstanding. Really, really enjoyed dining there that night. We're regulars and look forward to our next visit in January, if not sooner.
Fantastic service, especially considering we were there enjoying dinner for only 2 of us on a night when we counted three different large company Christmas events going on. Waiter was extremely attentive, always there to fill a glass or clear a plate, interacted with good conversation and solid recommendations but also gave us the opportunity to enjoy the amazing view we had over looking the downtown sky line. We will absolutely return!

Once upon a time there was a young rich girl named Ashley. She had a great interest in astronomy. One day she asks her father to take her to space in her rainbow rocket. While travelling she saw an orangish red coloured planet which had markings that looked like a man's face. She understood that the planet was not yet discovered because she had never seen it in her planets chart. She asked her father to land immediately. When they landed they saw aliens! They had 2 antennas, long eyes, star shaped nose and a tiny smiling mouth. They were delighted to have visitors come over to their planet. They asked one of the aliens to get something. The alien came back carrying something on a tray which they gave to Ashley. It looked like a fruit punch but tasted like coke (Even aliens drink coke!). But, she could sniff out something wrong. She found herself talking with the aliens. But can she talk in their language? That's when she realized that the drink could help her speak alienese. As she sat trying to get used to the idea of being with aliens and speaking alienese, she saw the king and queen of the planet. She recognized that the face of the king of the aliens was exactly like the markings on the planet. They started speaking to her and asking many questions. She realized that whichever planet one lives in, elders ask the same questions, except for one question in this case "Which planet are you from?" S. Tushita Reddy

Downsizing Blog
Get the Feds Out of Infrastructure
The federal government's budget deficits are pushing the nation toward a fiscal meltdown, yet our leaders can't seem to curb their zeal for infrastructure spending. President Obama has been pushing a $50 billion package for infrastructure and will likely include a similar plan in his upcoming budget. For their part, most Republicans eagerly pursue all the spending they can get for road, rail, airport, and dam projects in their districts.
Cut Spending. Start Here.
If you want to cut federal spending, which has doubled under Presidents Bush and Obama, you need to eliminate some programs and agencies. At the Orange County Register – and thus on the World Wide Web – I offer some suggestions. Here are a few:
$10.3 Billion in Unemployment Insurance Improper Payments
The Washington Times noted this week that the 2012 improper payment rate for unemployment insurance benefits was 11.4 percent ($10.3 billion out of $90.2 billion), according to U.S. Department of Labor data. The good news is that the figure is down from 12 percent in 2011. The bad news is that it's still a pathetic waste of money.
The Debt Deniers' Fantasy
It's not quite on a par with 9/11 truthers or Obama birthers, but recently a number of liberal commentators have descended into the fever swamps of denialism by rejecting the most basic facts about our debt and deficit. Mind you, they are not arguing about the best policies to reduce the debt — taxe hikes vs. spending cuts — but actually denying that the problem exists at all.
Sequestration Cuts Will Lead to Floods, Plagues, and Pestilence
The odds that $85 billion in "unthinkable, draconian" sequestration spending cuts will go into effect in March as scheduled are looking better. The odds must be getting better because, as if on cue, the horror stories have commenced.
The Sequester May Not Be 'Fair,' but It's Real and It Would Slow the Growth of Government
Much to the horror of various interest groups, it appears that there will be a "sequester" on March 1.
Federal Money to the States Isn't 'Free'
Richmond Times-Dispatch columnist A. Barton Hinkle recently made what should be a simple point to understand, but it's unfortunately one that few people seem to appreciate. Writing about the supposed win-win situation whereby states expand Medicaid coverage and the federal government foots most of the bill, Hinkle reminds readers that the "free" federal money isn't really free:
Brick Wall of Local Bureaucracy
Some good samaritans wanted to clean up some trash in a neighborhood near me in Northern Virginia, and they ran into a brick wall of bureaucracy. I happened to notice this write-up on a neighborhood blog.
'Unthinkable, Draconian' Spending Cuts
It's my job to advocate for spending cuts. It's a job I've been doing in one form or another for over a decade. If I've ever experienced a victory, it must have been a pretty small one, because I can't recall any.
So why do I persist?
Budget Zombies
The Washington Post's David Fahrenthold reports on a tiny federal program that House Republicans and even the Obama administration would like to terminate but that is seemingly invincible. The Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation, a grant program created in 1992, was supposed to pay for itself from the proceeds of coins honoring the 500thanniversary of Columbus's landing in the new world.

LUMBERTON - A Robeson County woman is accused of setting fire to her husband's belongings and burning them in the front yard of their home in Lumber Bridge, authorities said.
Deaven Lee Smith, 34, of the 800 block of McNeill Pond Road, was charged this morning with burning of personal property, said Lt. Brian Duckworth, the Robeson County Sheriff's Office arson investigator.
Smith's husband had moved out of their mobile home, Duckworth said, but left his clothing, glasses, cologne, shoes and jewelry at the house.
After a spat, Smith took the items outside and set fire to them, Duckworth said.
Smith's bail was set at $5,000.
