The Best Ice Cream Stand in Every State Gallery
There is no wrong season to eat ice cream, but it really hits the spot in summer. On a sweltering day, a cup or cone of that creamy, dreamy treat will cool you off and bring your mood up. Everything is better with ice cream, especially if you add sprinkles, whipped cream, and a cherry on top.
Luckily, it seems that virtually every place in America has good ice cream. That means The Daily Meal had a lot of research to do to narrow the list down to the absolute best spot to get it in your state. We scoured through tons of online reviews, Instagram photos, and word-of-mouth tips until we found the absolute best place to grab a scoop, sundae, malt, or other frozen treat nationwide.
Whether you're in Texas or Maine, Alaska or Wisconsin, we have found ice cream stands, shops, creameries, dairy farms, and more that are scooping the creamiest, tastiest ice cream - no matter the weather. Read on for the best ice cream stand in every state!Dreamstime

Many junior high and high schools around the country now require students to spend a certain number of hours each semester doing volunteer work or community service. Some people believe this is an excellent idea that promotes good citizenship and cultivates compassion. Others feel forced volunteerism isn"t volunteerism at all.
I think it is an excellent idea because students learn how to do different things when they volunteer. They might experience problems and figure out solutions that could help them in the future. They might even find something they like to do and practice it more often.
It could make them care more for the community. If they do community service, they might want to help more people with their work. The junior high and high school students might even make more friends while participating in community services.
The students might learn new things from the experience. It is up to you if you think it is a great idea. However, I believe we should have students do a certain number of hours for community service because it helps them grow as people, promotes social activity and allows them to learn job-related skills.

The time of delivery will begin at sending of the acknowledgement of the order, however, not before the complete technical clarification and of provision of the information, permissions and/or releases to be supplied by the purchaser, as well as before receipt of an agreed down payment. The delivery time is deemed as respected, if until its expiration the object of delivery has left the works or if readiness for delivery has been notified.
4.3 The non-compliance of agreed delivery times and the impossibility of performance entitle the purchaser – after an appropriate extension of time of at least 4 weeks – to withdraw from the contract. All other and further-reaching claims of the purchaser, in particular any claims on indemnification of damages of any kind, including even those which have not been caused by the object of delivery itself, are excluded. This exclusion of liability does not apply in case of intention or of gross negligence.
4.4 All facts being beyond our possibilities of influence, as for instance: strikes, riots and lock-outs, impeded supply of raw and/or of auxiliary materials and/or fuels, legal measures at our site or at the site of our sub-contractors will relieve us from that part of the obligation of delivery which cannot be accomplished, either for the period of impedance or finally, as per our own choice, and the purchaser will have no rights on claims against us because of the withdrawal. If the delay will exceed a period of 2 months, then, the purchaser will have the right on withdrawal from the contract, as far as the quantity is concerned which is affected by the delayed delivery. The purchaser will not have any further claims.
4.5 For orders whose compliance is consisting of several supplies, a non-compliance, an imperfect or a delayed compliance of a supply will not affect other supplies of the order. Partial shipments are admissible.
4.6 In case of special designs of nozzles, the quantity being ordered cannot always been observed, due to reasons of production techniques and due to the related risks of defective rejects. Therefore, we reserve the right of insignificant increased or reduced supplies and of corresponding invoicing.
4.7 Packing materials will not be taken back.
5. Protective Rights and Tooling
5.1 We reserve the right of property and the copyright on proposals for application and/or use, on designs or on drawings and on other documents. They are only permitted to be made accessible to any Third Parties with our consent and are to be returned upon our request, where the party being committed to return them, will assure to have destructed any copies they might have produced.
5.2 If any products have been supplied which had been made on the basis of drawings, samples or of other documents provided by the purchaser then, the purchaser will bear the risk that no protective rights of any Third Parties will be infringed.
6. Reservation of Property Rights
6.1 We reserve the property right on the object of supply until compliance of all claims against the purchaser. The purchaser will only be entitled to sell, to process, to mix or to assemble the goods being under property right within the frame of his orderly normal commercial activities.
6.2 For reasons of security, the purchaser hereby assigns to us his future titles against his customers, arising from his own sales including all collateral agreements, without that any further declaration is required, and this assignment applies independently of the fact, that the object of supply has been sold to any Third Parties, without or after processing, mixing or assembly. If the goods being under property rights are sold together with other objects, without agreement of an item price for the goods being under property rights, then, the purchaser will assign to us under priority over the remaining titles the amount (VAT included) which corresponds to the value of the goods being under property rights. We hereby accept this declaration of assignment.
6.3 A processing or a transformation of the object of supply will always be provided by the purchaser for us, without creating any obligation for us; we are the manufacturer in the meaning of § 950 of the German Civil Code. In case of a processing, of a mixing or of an assembly of goods being under reservation with other goods not being our property, we acquire – in accordance with §§ 947 and 948 of the German Civil Code – the joint proprietorship in the new object, prorata to the invoiced value which the object of supply has in the other objects at the time of mixing; if the purchaser will acquire the sole proprietorship, then the contractual partners agree, that the purchaser will assign us a joint proprietorship in the new object pro rata to the invoiced value of the goods supplied by us and that he will hold them in trust and free of charge for us. The purchaser will also assign to us those titles to secure our titles against him, which he will have against any Third Parties by mixing or combining the object of supply with a real estate.
6.4 If goods are sold, in which, after processing, combination or mixing we have a joint proprietorship, then, the advance assignment will cover a part of the title equivalent to the value of the invoice for our processed, combined or mixed goods.
6.5 We are entitled to take possession of the goods being under property rights, if the purchaser will fail to perform duly the claims arising from the business relation and existing against him. The request for return or the taking possession will not mean any withdrawal from the contract, if the terms of the Law of Consumer Protection of the German Civil Code do not apply and if we have not declared our withdrawal from the contract expressively and in writing. Seizure of the object of supply will always mean a withdrawal from the contract.
6.6 Until our revocation, the purchaser is entitled to collect assigned titles. This authorization of cashing-in will also expire without our expressive revocation, if the purchaser fails to perform his obligations to us, or if he will get into decay of assets, in particular, in case of a suspension of payments or, if an application on proceedings of insolvency on the assets of the purchaser is filed. Upon our request, the purchaser has to give us those information about the assigned title which is necessary for collection, to transfer relevant documents and to disclose the assignment to the debtor.
6.7 The purchaser is neither entitled to pawn the goods being under property rights nor to provide any protective conveyance. Prior to a seizure, to a distraint or to any other disposition by Third Parties, he has to notify us immediately thus allowing us to bring an action of a third-party-contradiction. As far as Third Parties will not be in a position to return us judicial or extrajudicial expenditures of an action of a third-party-contradiction, the purchaser will be liable for our damage caused hereby.
6.8 If the value of all the securities existing for us will exceed our titles in total by more than 20%, then – upon request of the purchaser – we are committed to release securities as per our own option.
7. Claims arising from Defects
For our supplies and services we take warranty and liability only in accordance with the following terms:
7.1 We give warranty that our products are free from any defects for the period of one year, as from delivery. Thereby, however, we warrant post-compliance for non-insignificant defects in kind, by remedying the defect, respectively by supplying an object free from any defect. Permitting us to provide the actions to remove the defects, the purchaser has to grant us the necessary time and opportunity, otherwise we are free from any liability for defects. Only in urgent cases, if the safety of the working conditions is jeopardized or to prevent unreasonable high damages – in those cases we have to be notified immediately – or if we come in default of post-compliance, then, the purchaser will have the right to remedy the defect by himself or by Third Parties and to request from us refund of the relevant costs. From immediate costs arising by a post-compliance, we will bear the costs for the piece of replacement including shipment. Further costs will be borne by the purchaser. Replaced parts become our property. If the post-compliance should fail, if we reject a post-compliance, or if we ignore culpably and fruitlessly an appropriate extension of time for the post-compliance of at least 4 weeks, the purchaser will have a right on annulations of the contract or on reduction of the purchasing price.
7.2 Our indications stated in offers, leaflets and further literature describing the object of supply or of service, the use and/or application (e.g. dimensions, weights, values of function etc.) are descriptions and characteristics, not however promises of properties and conditions in the meaning of § 434,1 of the German Civil Code. We reserve the right of technical modifications on our products. Insignificant deviations from samples or from former supplies or any other indications, if they will not affect significantly the contractually granted operational capacity, do not give reason for any claims on warranty. The purchaser as the distributive partner undertakes the obligation to advertise in an appropriate manner for the contractual products. The distributive partner is aware of the fact, that incorrect characteristic- and property-related advertisement might lead to claims of warranty. He undertakes the obligation to exempt us from the consequences of such an advertisement and to replace us any damage which will arise us from the infringement of this obligation.
7.3 A defect for which we will not be responsible is especially given in the following cases: Inappropriate use of the object of supply or a use other than contractually agreed; excessive strain (e.g. by faulty operational conditions); wrong assembly or commissioning by the purchaser or by Third Parties; faulty or negligent treatment (e.g. by wrong storing or by improper fitting); use of unsuitable fuels; modifications of the object of supply which are not authorized by us, in particular by fitting foreign elements, insufficient conditions and preparations at the site of fitting/assembly; wear usual to work or to product, as well as influences of process techniques, chemical or electrical influences, if they have not been caused by us.
7.4 In any case, the legal duties of examination and of complaint apply to our supplies and services, as well as the statutory periods of limitation. If dispatch, erection or commissioning will be delayed without our fault, then, in any case, the legal period of warranty will already begin at transfer of the risks. The period for the limitation of the claims arising from defects at the object of supply will be extended by the time of interruption of work caused by the post-compliance.
7.5 Beyond the regulation stated under cipher 7.1 above, any further claims, namely claims for damages of any kind and regardless of their legal reason, also due to a fault at formation of the contract, positive infringement of the contract and unauthorized action are excluded. This exclusion of liability does not apply in case of a lack of properties which are expressively guaranteed, if namely such a guarantee had been intended to provide security for the purchaser against damages which did not arise at the object of supply itself. In case of only a negligent infringement of duties by us or by our agents, our liability is limited to the contract-typical foreseeable damage. The above regulation of liability will also apply to our consulting in word and in writing and given by technical tests or in any other way; in particular the purchaser will not be released from verifying by himself the suitability for the intended purposes of application.
8. Place of Performance, Place of Jurisdiction and applicable Law
8.1 Place of performance for our supplies and services will be the place from where supply will be provided or be rendered. For all payments (also by bills of exchange or by cheque), the place of performance will be D-96253 Untersiemau.
8.2 If the purchaser is a full businessman, a juristic person/legal entity of public right or an entity of public special assets, then, for all rights and duties of both the contractual partners arising from business transactions of any kind, the Court being competent for the case and locally for D-96253 Untersiemau will be the place of jurisdiction.
8.3 Solely the Law of the Federal Republic of Germany will apply under exclusion of the uniform purchasing laws. This will not apply, if the purchaser has his legal place of business not in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Ford F-150 Harley Davidson Supercharged Super Crew 2002
Anyone own one, just wanna know your thoughts one them. Does anyone think they are overpriced??? I might look at one at the end of this year. I just saw one 2 days ago at a local dealer, I think they are awesome. What do you guys think.
gmengineman1 Posts: 32Saw a full lineup at Green Valley Ford in Fairfield, CA. They have four in stock. Asked for a "test" ride and the salesperson stated that they aren't authorized to give any. Looks about the same as the regular edition of the Harley-Davidson model. Lot of money. Think about it. You can buy an SVT Mustang for about the same money and blow the doors off of this pickup. Plus better fuel mileage.0
txyank1 Posts: 1,010your bike in the back!0
I wonder about the chronic ford oil leak problem on the 5.4 V-8 with the blower. I suspect that the engine is built to handle the added stress of the supercharging by Rousch and they would have fixed the oil leak tendency. Other than that is seems like a great ride. I saw a black one from 2001 (same except for engine) but have not seen any 2002's in the San Jose Ca area yet. The fleet guys at the dealerships laugh when you ask about price, so I suspect it will be packed like the T-Bird at least at first.0
qualityguy Posts: 101Is it true that 2.6 miles per gallon is the real fuel consumption number for this car?0
truckdude Posts: 55Selling for around $33k in the Denver area, about $3k off sticker price. Not bad. I test drove one before buying my 02 Screw FX4. If I didn't need 4x4, this would have been an option.
gmengineman1 - everybody and their brother (and sister, mother, girlfriend - you get the point) has a Mustang...this is one sharp truck that hauls in style and seats 5 comfortably. Different strokes for different folks I guess.0
eleets00 Posts: 27Hello all. I hate to go backwards, but I would like to if anyone here owns the 2000 F150 Harley Davidson SuperCab &/or the 2001 F150 HD CrewCab. How do they drive? How is the reliability? What is the gas mileage like? I'm looking at the 2002 Ram Quad Cab, but like the Harley Davidson F150's better. But.. after my 96 Contour fiasco, I'm skeptical of buying another Ford product (I've heard the horror stories on the pre-2K2 Ram's). I live in Stn Mtn/Lithonia, GA & have to drive 48 miles round trip to work every day. Plus I plan on getting sport bike & would like to know which one is better equipped to handle the bike. How much should I expect to pay for either? Any info/advice anyone can provide will greatly appreciated.
PS - Anyone know where I can get some info on the next generation F150's?0
fusion4you Posts: 4First of all...no one listen to "Nice truck but by califjohn" - he doesn't have a clue what he is talking about. I have a '01 HD (5.4) and have no oil leak problems. The '02 has the 5.4 Triton with Eaton supercharger (The same engine that comes on the SVT Lightning) The tranny has also been upgraded to the 4R100 to handle the extra power which is also from the Lightning. Therefore...you can say it has been tuned by SVT...but not rousch. SVT is the performance branch of FORD and is part of FORD. Rousch is a completely separate aftermarket company.
Also...they don't get 2.6 MPG...nice try on that joke...but it wasn't funny - I usually get around 13-14 in the city and the tanks capacity is 25 gallons. '02 require premium gas0
anyone know if they will make the supercharged HD for 03???0
redbug Posts: 1it"s a dream gets 13 mpg it is a special edition limited no thats why they come numbered mine is no 5537 i couldn"t find out how many are going to be made as yet a ford service mgr is checking that for me there will not be a 2003 model it was a special edition to correspond with the harley davidson motor cycle anniversary edition this is the best and accurate info i could find hope this answers some of your questions my other car is a 2002 bug turbo0
Number 6553 now in hands of a completely satisfied owner. I had been looking about 4 months trying to work the deal I thought was best and think I finally did (if not, it's too late!)
$32,500 out the door, sticker $38,405 & invoice $33,610. Once I got below invoice, even with all the unknown behind the line rebates, incentives and volume discounts I was happy. This truck is great.
With just a few moderate aftermarket mods they easily & quickly capable of 400hp. With some more aggressive ones I have seen hp numbers in the low 500's. While the Lightning is an equally awesome truck, I needed (wanted) a supercrew or 4 door and this was the way to get the performance of a Lightning and the additional versatility of the supercrew. And with just a change in SC pulley set up and chip re-program you can instantly match the 380hp of the L!0
The oil leak problem between head and block in some the Triton V8 series is well documented by Ford. Rousch is also a subcontractor to Ford for the supercharged engines. All info came from the Blue Oval News site. I'm glad you are not having any problems and enjoying your truck!0
I can vouch for the 5.4L oil leak as I have a '98 Expedition which is leaking but its nothing bad...nothing I worry about. I have almost 100k on it and I'm quite happy with it.
As for the HD I am going to buy one but I don't know if I should jump at the 02 model or wait for an 03 model. I hear rumors that there might be one there might not...if there is one the new color with be black and silver two tone...anyone know anything? I don't want to wait for an 03 only to find out that there are no 02's to be found anymore.0
I had read on a couple of boards that there would not be a '03 HD. I was completely unable to confirm with anyone from Ford. Info on the '03 F150 was difficult at best to get overall. I did find out and confirmed that there would be no changes in the '03, that they will go with the '03 Expedition platform in '04 on the F150. Besides body changes the significance of this is the independant rear suspension, wheel base width & length changes compared with current F150 platform. May impact load capacity. It sounds to me like Ford is going after the consumer market with the F150 and if you want a "truck" go with an F250. Unlike Chvy, where you can only get a 4 door "supercrew" cab in the heavy duty series even in the 1500.
Not knowing if there would be a '03 HD edition and confirming there would be no change in the F150 until '04 were two key factors for me to go ahead and purchase an '02 now. The third factor (besides the fact I wanted one!) was the price. From everything I watched, they did not move much off sticker for the first 6 months of the year playing on the limited edition vehicle and new changes for '02 tactics(supercharged engine). If there is an '03 it would probably be the case again and I did not want to wait for a year to get one. I don't know if it's any indication or not, but in the Charlotte area there were a couple of dealers that have had anywhere between 6 & 15 in stock for the last 60 day's. It would seam to me that either Ford is flushing the system or they have not sold well recently and there is an excess. I know the dealer I bought from wanted to sell these units badly, I literally walked out of the place three times the night I bought it. I don't think they really believed I would leave with out it and they were going to do everything / anything to make the deal. Which is finally what they did.
Just some general comments & observations from another perspective. Hope it helps. Only had the truck for a week but I love it!0
This is the closest thing I could get to some material on the possible '03 HD. No doubt in my mind, I'm going to buy one since it makes the most sense for work plus adds the character flare I like. But this makes me want to wait even more. I don't mind about price too much, my friend owns a dealership
If the link doesn't work, I have a pic.0
Thanks - Link worked as far as it got me to the Fordtruckworld web site - but it said file could not be found. Thanks for the heads up on the site - looks like it's another good site for us truck enthusiasts. I did not scan through all the content to look for the pic, I'm in through a dial up in a hotel room traveling on business right now - I will scan through when I back to my T1.0

As you can probably guess, I can't listen and type at the same time, but I will try to give you all a flavor of the presentation. By the way, this presentation is being carried live on the RootsTech website. They provide us Bloggers with a front row seat for the keynotes, so we can see what kind of makeup they use (just kidding). Even though I am deaf, I probably will have no problem hearing. It is quite loud.
The first speaker is David Bruburgger, Senior VP of Engineering who introduces Dennis Brimhall, the new CEO. He is new to genealogy but not new to leading large non-profits. Dennis Brimhall in turn introduces Jay Verkler. Jay Verkler, who has been CEO for the last ten years, was the one who moved FamilySearch into the technology world.
Jay reviews the experience of the Conference in 2011 when they had over 3000 in attendance. This year there are over 4300 registrations. He then takes a leap to talk about the future in 2060. Points from the talk including some of the new "buzz" words used:
- 7 billion people online in 2060
- Proportionally more people will be interested in genealogy
A Genealogical Conclusion: capturing who the person really is with all of the existing relationships.
One example is the Facebook Timeline view. (Facebook shows every post you have ever made chronologically).
Demonstration of a person page that is interactive and shows the details about an individual, packaging the important parts of a person's life.
What does it take to do this?
Community Framework for preserving and interchanging information
FamilySearch working on new GEDCOM, same standard, multiple uses
- Interchanging between applications and between those records online API standard
- Links and linked information
- Embedded media
- Clear model
- RESTful interfaces
- Extensible
- Common types and sturctures
Jay introduces Robert Gardner and Dave Barney from Google. Yes, Google is here also. I notice they are using a MacBook Pro. Just a comment on technology. Dave talks about Genealogy Microdata Tags.
- Microdata
- Schema.org
- Historical-data.org
Links will disappear. What changes need to be made? Permanent links? A solvable problem.
Need for "Authorities" which provide the rules for search engines to recognize records. Getting companies to use the same set of Authorities. More powerful search engines.

As Congress and the White House wrestle over how to come up with $4 trillion in spending cuts and tax increases, the last thing they need is a distracting and ill-timed skirmish over whether to throw a $1 trillion farm bill package into the mix. The farm bill food fight must be left for another day.
Some advocates for subsidized agriculture tout the savings proposed in the House and Senate versions of the farm bill as a reason for including it in a deficit reduction package. But the $23 billion in 10-year savings in the Senate bill or the $35 billion in the version passed by the House Agriculture Committee would be a trivial contribution to coping with the pending fiscal cliff. What's more, they represent a fraction of the savings to be had if Congress got serious about reforming outdated and wasteful farm subsidy programs.
The time could not be better for reform.
Farm income has soared, tripling over the last decade. Even this year, despite a historic drought that withered much of the corn and soybean crops, farm income is projected to stay high, thanks in part to the generously subsidized federal crop insurance program and the corn ethanol mandate.
It makes no sense that federal subsidy dollars go overwhelmingly to the largest, most successful landowners and farm operators — precisely those who need it least. Since 1995, the top 10 percent of farm subsidy recipients have cashed 74 percent of all subsidy checks. In 2011, for instance, 26 individual holders of crop insurance policies collected more than $1 million each in subsidies to help pay their insurance premiums.
Neither the House nor Senate bills would do enough to rein in these lavish handouts. They do take the positive step of ending one type of farm subsidy — the discredited and wasteful direct payment program — but both proposals turn right around and funnel most of the savings into other new or expanded subsidies. In fact, if prices for major crops such as corn, soybeans and wheat drop even modestly from their current record levels, those new House and Senate subsidies would be very costly for taxpayers and do nothing for the budget deficit.
While nearly everything else in the House and Senate bills has been slashed in the name of deficit reduction, large commodity farmers will enjoy higher price guarantees and gold-plated insurance options. So it's not surprising that some farm and congressional leaders want to sneak a secret farm bill through the lame-duck session. They would rather not have to defend these giveaways in the light of day on the House floor. They would rather tuck them into a larger deficit package that cannot be amended and not look back.
It would be wrong to pull this flagrant bait and switch on the American taxpayer. One trillion dollars in spending merits full and open consideration by Congress. The House should have the chance to debate amendments that would cut subsidies, eliminate target prices and rethink the currently open-ended insurance premium entitlements.
With less than three weeks left on the legislative calendar, the current Congress long ago missed its opportunity to fully debate and pass a new five-year farm bill. Right now it needs to focus on the larger fiscal issues at hand and pick up the farm bill again next year.

Hi Lesley, found your blog after Googling 'where to get four angle beans in NYC'. Was hoping you might have some advice, especially after seeing the delicious recipe above. Sounds like you haven't found any either? The odd thing is I regularly found them in SE Asian markets in Chicago, but have had no luck at all since moving to NYC. Would love to know if you ever find a local source! (Malaysian expat, quite desperate lah.) Meanwhile, just want to say your blog is great. Thanks!

I am having a hard time following this. If they all reject ἤ ... a conjecture by Hermann why do they all read ἤ in their text. Perhaps οὐ is the conjecture not ἤ. That would resolve the problem and makes sense out of the following paragraph.Qimmik wrote:In line 1322, it should be ἤ instead of οὐ. Murray, Fraenkel, Denniston & Page, Page (OCT), West and Sommerstein (Loeb) all have ἤ with no indication of a variant reading.
I now see that Fraenkel in his commentary mentions that ἤ is a conjecture by Hermann, "adopted by Mazon among many others." (Murray in his apparatus notes this conjecture too.) Fraenkel rejects the conjecture as unnecessary, and so, apparently, do the other editors cited above.
I have noticed in translations for reading pleasure and easy comprehension, textual problems like this are sometimes solved by just ignoring the particle altogether:Qimmik wrote: He also mentions that by adding ἐμὸν τὸν αὐτῆς "Cassandra points to the peculiarity of her situation, for it is in itself contrary to the nature of things that anyone should sing or speak his own dirge." That's the reason for the emphatic τὸν αὐτῆς after ἐμὸν, and that reinforces ἤ as the correct reading: she's going to make a last speech, or rather sing a dirge--her very own, for herself. It doesn't make much sense for her to say she's going to make a final speech but not her very own dirge. The pathos lies precisely in the fact that she knows beforehand exactly what's coming--her speech will be her very own dirge.
One thing left.

UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage has complained of verbal abuse and criminal damage against his supporters in the Wythenshawe and Sale East by-election campaign, which he said had been "as dirty as they come".
Mr Farage said the level of abuse directed at Ukip workers by people who he claimed were activists from Labour and the British National Party had been so high that police had been called four times.
He said the party's offices had been vandalised with foul-mouthed graffiti branding Ukip "Nazis", and a generator and bundles of leaflets were stolen, and claimed that individuals wearing red rosettes shouted at pensioners who said they were voting for Ukip.
Voting takes place tomorrow in the by-election to choose a replacement for Labour MP Paul Goggins, who died last month. Polls suggest Labour is heading for a comfortable victory, with Ukip hoping to snatch second place from the Conservatives.
Writing in The Independent, the Ukip leader claimed that Labour and the BNP behaved as if they "owned" certain sections of the working-class. He claimed council house residents were told to take down Ukip posters, because they should not be displayed on "our houses".
"This is a situation which political parties should be ashamed of," said Mr Farage. "People fought and died for our liberty and democracy and we must not ever allow politics to be tainted by such poor and in some cases criminal behaviour, where free and fair campaigning is distorted by threats of violence and damage.
"It is something that particularly emanates from the left. Far from being the party of the people, the party of the workers, the party of the ordinary men and women of the UK, the left wing risks - particularly at grassroots levels - becoming a movement that uses the sort of bullying it feigns to oppose in big business and among the elite."
A Labour Party spokesman said: "Nigel Farage's wild accusations are nonsense and a desperate smear to distract attention from the issues. Ukip are silent on Wythenshawe Hospital and offer no answers for the people of Wythenshawe and Sale East."

Homework from History Is Elementary
Here is the assignment I selected:
Create a post or comment that includes something about 100 miles, 100 dollars, 100 years, and 100 pounds. You can write about each in a separate paragraph or combine all four things together, but all four categories need to be in the same post.
Of course, I will up the difficulty a bit and make each item history related.
A. 100 Miles
In 60 AD, Boadicea (Queen of East Anglia) led a revolt attributed to corrupt tax collectors in Britannia. The revolt allegedly killed all Roman soldiers within 100 miles. Nero crushed the revolt and reestablished Roman rule. (Source: A History of Taxation.)
B. 100 Dollars
In 1861, the United States Federal government was offering 100 dollars as an enlistment bonus to raise 300,000 soldiers requested by President Lincoln to fight separatist rebels in the south. (Source: The Civil War in America.)
C. 100 Years
The 100 Years War between France and England lasted more than a hundred years. However, since some historians can not count well I can include this! (Source: Hundred Years' War 1337-1453.)
D. 100 Pounds
In 1657, Massachusetts passed a law levying a fine of 100 pounds for bringing a Quaker into the colony. (Source: Excerpts from Mary Dyer and Companions, Martyrs.)
And like that, I am done. Please do not forget to give me an A+ please.

An A+ and a "MOST EXCELLENT" which I do not give out that often. I like your history twist and your content is very interesting.
Your comment about my ploy to obtain links is a little over the top, but since you brought it up I have gained one or two. I plan on paying those people back including you, my magnificent Miland. :)

Sorry, I was joking! I will go and put a smile next to it to make sure no one takes it the wrong way. :]

Hey, are you trying to make the rest of us look bad?:) History related and all.....what a show off!

I don't know if it would work for everyone but I got interested in history trying to create Christmas letters from all sorts of people.
Maybe writing a a short letter to a friend from whoever they are studying could make it fun?

I am taking a family trip up to NY on April. I thought I would pack my hammocks and such and maybe take a trip out east. I would love to camp on one of the forks, but I am not sure how hammock friendly any of that area is.
I ultimately would like to be able to camp near the beach, but will need trees and of course a legal place to be. I could go to ground... but don't want to.
Anyone got options?

Thursday, October 27, 2011
I was a little nervous when it came to this challenge. You see, we've had challenges before that required rolling the dough so thin that you can read something through the dough. In those challenges, I had such trouble rolling out the dough. This time, however, was a different story. (Can you see where I work?!)
I don't know if the difference was the dough or the rolling location. This was a GREAT dough to work with. It rolled SO easily and stretched beautifully when I began to "pull" at it. I used the knuckle strategy when I pulled my down-turned hand out under the dough, which causes the dough to stretch. Worked wonderfully.
The other change was using my dining room table to roll it out...MUCH MORE ROOM! I did have to use a bed sheet as my pastry towel but that worked well, too. Hmmm...I'll have to remember this in the future.
I was planning on doing maybe two different fillings but didn't have enough nuts. So, I decided to use the traditional cinnamon nut filling (I used pecans) for one loaf. This one ended up being the most striking one on the inside and was definitely flaky. In fact, when I picked it up it flaked away! This is one that I left at clinic today.
For the next loaf I used some of the remaining nuts, mixed it with orange marmalade and some sugar. SURPRISE! When I pulled the loaf out of the pan, it had formed an orange caramel.
Didn't expect that but the caramel did taste GREAT! I think that I will end up freezing this one and taking it to Thanksgiving. I hope the caramel doesn't get too hard.
Loaf three was to be a cream cheese chocolate chip loaf. Well, I think I under did it on both the cream cheese AND the chocolate chips. The swirl is very unimpressive. Adding some icing to the top added to the flavor. This loaf found a home in the ER!
All in all, this was a fantastic challenge! I actually enjoyed rolling the dough out and trying to stretch it as thin as I could. Coming up with different fillings and seeing how they came out was fun. And, as always, giving away what I made always gives me joy! Thanks for a great challenge. Try this one out for yourself.
To activate the Yeast:
2 Teaspoons (10 ml/9 gm) Sugar
1 Teaspoon (5 ml/3 gm) All-Purpose (Plain) Flour
½ Cup (120ml) Warm Water
2 Tablespoons (30ml/14 gm/½ oz/2 sachets) Dry Yeast
Place sugar and flour in a small bowl. Pour water over and stir to dissolve. Add the yeast and stir. Cover with plastic wrap (or be brave like I was and don't!) and allow to sit for five minutes.
2 cups (480ml) milk - I used skim
¾ cup (180 ml/170gm/6 oz) Sugar
3 teaspoons (15 ml/18 gm/2/3 oz) Table Salt
4 Eggs
½ cup (120ml/115 gm/one stick/4 oz) Unsalted Butter, melted
8 cups (1.92 l/1.12 kg/39½ oz/2½ lb) All-Purpose Flour, divided
Place the milk in a sauce pan. Place on medium heat and cook until the milk reaches 180 degrees F. This scalds the milk. Remove from heat and allow to cool to 110 degrees F. Meanwhile, put sugar and salt in a large bowl. When milk is cooled, stir it into the sugar until dissolved. Add 2 cups flour, beaten eggs, melted butter, and yeast mixture. Stir until well combined. Slowly add flour until the mixture pulls away from the bowl and is not sticky (I ended up using 7.5 cups total, including the original 2 cups). Divide the dough into four equal portions and place in smaller bowls. Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours (mine probably rose about 4 hours!).
Walnut Filling for one loaf:
1.5 cups ground pecans
1/4 cup almond milk
1/2 stick margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon (5 ml/4 gm) cocoa powder
1 teaspoon (5 ml/3 gm) cinnamon
Melt butter and milk together. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Place a clean bed sheet on a large table. Sprinkle flour on the sheet so that there is a thin layer of flour on the sheet. Place one piece of dough on the sheet. After lightly flouring the rolling pin and dough, roll out to about 12 X 18 inches. The dough will still be fairly thick. At this point, you can continue to roll the dough or you can start stretching by hand. Slowly roll/stretch until you can see through the dough enough to read something or see patterns.

Cheese!! I think you're daddy likes cheese. Maybe you need to make a cheese one for him, too. Looking forward to goodies at Thanksgiving.
- Korena said...
The orange marmalade caramel sounds fantastic! I bet your coworkers loved you for sharing this delicious bread - I know mine did!
- Joanne said...
Oh wow those loafs look obscenely heavenly! Especially given the fillings you mixed in!
- Erica said...
Yumm! This looks so delicious! I like that you can make it sweet or savory! You did an awesome job
- Jenni said...
Great job on your povitica! They all look great, and you picked some nice fillings, too! What kind of doctor are you? My husband just started his intern year in internal medicine.
- Lisa said...
Wow, Claire..4 loaves! They all look delicious, but I'm loving how your orange marmalade turned into swirly orange caramel. I'd like the savory cheese loaf for dinner and orange caramel for dessert, Doc ;) Beautifully done!

|Medications that Treat OCD and OC Spectrum Disorders
Medications that Treat OCD and OC Spectrum Disorders
by Richard S. Schloss, M.D.
I am often asked, "Dr. Schloss, what is the best medication to treat OCD?" The answer is that there is no one medication that is effective in treating OCD for every patient. While there are a number of medications that produce significant improvement in OCD symptoms in many patients, I am used to seeing patients who have little or no response to the first medication prescribed for them, but who then go on to enjoy excellent results from the second. Often patients have only a limited or partial response to a single drug, and require a combination of agents to achieve a good response.
In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration has approved five medications specifically for the treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. They are: Anafranil (clomipramine), Prozac (fluoxetine), Zoloft (sertraline), Paxil (paroxetine), and Luvox (fluvoxamine). With the exception of Anafranil, all belong to a class of antidepressant drugs called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, or SSRIs. (Anafranil belongs to an older class of drugs called Tricyclic Antidepressants.) Celexa (citalopram), and its more refined version, Lexapro (escitalopram), are newer SSRIs available in the U.S. that also appear very helpful for OCD, but they do not yet have specific approval from the FDA for the treatment of OCD. Other antidepressants that have been used with reported success in treating OCD and OC Spectrum Disorders include Effexor (venlafaxine) and Serzone (nefazodone).
Medications used to enhance the efficacy of SSRIs or Anafranil in reducing OCD symptoms (often referred to as "augmentation") include: BuSpar (buspirone), Remeron (mirtazapine), Klonopin (clonazepam), Risperdal (risperidone), Zyprexa (olanzapine), Seroquel (quetiapine), Geodon (ziprasidone), Abilify (aripiprazole), Depakote (divalproex), Neurontin (gabapentin), Lamictal (lamotrigine), Topamax (topiramate), Gabatril (topiramate), and Lithium Carbonate. In addition, Inositol, a B-vitamin available without prescription from most health-food stores and many pharmacies, has shown effectiveness in reducing OCD symptoms when taken with SSRIs, and, in some cases, even when taken alone (although dosages had to be pushed to fairly high levels).
No matter which medication is prescribed, doctor and patient must always be willing to satisfy "The Two D's." By this I mean DOSE and DURATION -- that is, one must ultimately take a large enough dose to allow for therapeutic efficacy (even if you start low to minimize initial side effects); and, one must stick with the full therapeutic dose long enough to permit the adjustments in brain chemistry necessary for symptom reduction to take place. As we have learned more about pharmacotherapy of OCD, it has become apparent that the old rule of "two to four weeks" applied to treatment of depression is totally inadequate in most cases of OCD. Rather, it is not unusual to see lag times of eight, ten, or even twelve weeks on a medication before OCD symptoms begin to recede. The doctor who repeatedly changes medication every couple of weeks in his impatience to see results is actually doing his patient a grerat disservice. By the same token, the patient who gives up after only a few weeks of drug treatment is cheating himself. When you think of how long the average patient suffers with OCD before being properly diagnosed and treated (ten years, by most accounts), waiting three months for your medication to work doesn't seem like such a huge investment of time.
Please Note: Then information in this site is presented as a public service to our patients and friends. It is not a substitute for a careful evaluation by a qualified mental health professional. If you are already under treatment, do not make any changes in your regimen without consulting your doctor.

The Second Kasseler Photobook-Festival
That was the longest stretch of silence yet from 5B4. For those unaware I was in Germany and Holland for about ten days. I had the honor of being invited to do a lecture at the second annual Kassler Fotofrühling (Photobook Festival) in Kassel, Germany. My initial intention was to do like I did at Paris Photo, occasionally taking a moment to post about the proceedings, but due to limited time, sketchy internet connections, beer, cigarettes and a general lethargy brought on by one too many döner kababs, it proved unlikely. So here is a recap of the last week and a half...
After catching a quick train to Köln to meet up with the Schaden crew a day before the festival, they quickly introduced me to the local beer, Kölsch which helped to put me on local time. I have felt a bit burned out on books lately and before I this trip I thought if I saw another photobook I would puke blood, yet one minute into Markus's new shop browsing all the titles that are slow to make it to the States, the disease showed full force. I'll tell you about things I found over the next few postings.
Friday morning I caught a train to the home of the "Becher School," the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, to meet up with Katja Stuke (Suits review here) and Oliver Seiber who generously offered to drive me to Kassel. Katja and Oliver where scheduled to be the very first lecture of the festival and I was a bit jealous of their calm and the fact that they had each other for support while lecturing. I haven't done much public speaking and those that know me know that I would rather hide behind my camera or computer so I was nervous and unsure of what to expect come my time at the podium. The festival took place in a school for photography and graphic design, the Kunsthochschule Kassel and it was almost completely empty but for a few workers preparing and setting up. Right when I thought the attendance would be minimal, the auditorium filled with over a hundred people for the first lecture. I suddenly became very nervous because from what I had been told, Friday is normally the slowest day of the festival and I was scheduled to speak on Sunday.
Between the lectures with Jessica Backhaus, Joakim Eskildsen, Andreas Magdanz, Dayanita Singh, WassinkLundgren, Gerry Badger, Krass Clement, Markus Schaden and myself, the festival offered portfolio reviews, a couple exhibitions - one of Stephen Gill's books, library tours, a show of book dummies, and a special exhibition from Nina Poppe and Verena Loewenhaupt's Marks of Honor project in which 13 contemporary photographers pay homage to their artistic role models. They invited the artists to pick a book and create a new work of art in response to that work. Harvey Benge, Chris Coekin, Peter Granser, Pieter Hugo, Tiina Itkonen, Onaka Koji, Jens Liebchen, Michael Light, Mark Power, Matthew Sleeth, Alec Soth, Jules Spinatsch, and Raimond Wouda all took part and an exhibition of these books will be on display at FOAM in Amsterdam starting this week on the 28th.
The book dummy show had a few interesting books but the most impressive / obnoxious, completely impossible to operate and somehow incredibly compelling book Rumanien by Katharina Gaenssler was my favorite. The book was one foot thick, hundreds - if not over one thousand pages - and each double page spread had eighteen photos.
It appeared to be shot entirely from the car during a road trip through Romania and my immediate reaction was to recoil at the pretentiousness of someone making a book a foot thick that is nearly physically impossible to look through (one really has to pick up this 30 pound beast and operate it on your lap, moving your legs as if you were playing with a giant slinky). But after giving it a little time which no one else seemed willing to do (it doesn't offer much invitation), it really does pay off. I can't imagine it ever being published and certainly the scale alone doesn't merit its production but I do applaud the maker for her attempt and for many great page spreads. Benedict Taschen watch out, you've been out sized.
I had the great pleasure of meeting Dayanita Singh who proved to be as mischievous as charming. She did a fine lecture on Saturday and also created a 'secret exhibition' of her photos by selecting a few people to slip a small print into the plastic holder of their name badges. Some attendees noticed and many didn't, but people who did came away with a smile.
A few antiquarian book dealers showed on Saturday and Sunday and my big find of the day was a copy of the reprint of Moi Ver's Ci Contre done beautifully by Anne and Jurgen Wilde, the couple responsible for the great Germaine Krull Metal reprint from 2002. For those that do not know, the Wilde's were big collector's of Blossfelt, Krull and others and over the years have done exquisite but somewhat pricey reprints of a few books. The Moi Ver book they issued in 2005, is a facsimile of an unpblished book dummy which they own. For those that know the Steidl reprint of Moi Ver's Paris and like that work should look into this book. I'll be featuring it on 5B4 soon. The frustrating thing about their books is simply tracking down where to get them. They have no website, no email and not surprisingly, almost no distribution. The Germaine Krull reprint goes for around 300-400 dollars and I have seen the Moi Ver Ci Contre for around 175-300. My copy was gotten for 90 euros ($125.00).
Kassel is somewhat small and although beautiful, let's just say it is a little quiet. So after each day's events at the festival, since all participants where housed in the same hotel, the hotel bar was the place for extended drinks and talk. It was there that I met many great people but I also realized how insane we must all be. After talking all day about photography and books you know you're among the infected when its 2:00 am, you're drunk in a hotel bar, lungs choked with smoke and you're still talking about fucking photobooks.
Sunday arrived and my lecture was looming close. I felt extra nervous for a while after seeing how anxious Markus was about his own talk. I figured if everyone knows Markus and he's done these things many times before then I was in for a real nerve wracking experience. Oddly, after Krass Clement and Gery Badger, I felt calm once it was time for me to start. I had everything written out in case I lost my train of thought which happens under normal circumstances for me just in my day to day, but my thoughts seemed to flow better than expected and I was able to just do the talk without much reading at all. I shuffled my notes and got lost a couple times and forgot whole parts which I had intended to say but everyone said I seemed natural. Huge relief I didn't self-destruct as I had imagined doing many times in preparation.
The day ended up in the library where Thomas Weigand had put together a small exhibition of books. Since Krass Clement was there and has published 18 books besides Drum - his best known of all - Thomas had him sign a few from his own collection. It was in one of his small exhibitions that I had a chance to look through a few of Hans-Peter Feldmann's small artist books from the Bilder series.
Afterwards I drove back to Köln with the Schadens, stopping along autobahn 44 at a rest area for some Frikadelle (meatloaf burgers), potatoes, beer and chocolate covered ice cream cubes. Oh...it isn't the daily menu that you want to know but what books I found?? Wait damn you...
