The Total Gym: Several Different Machines in One Single Contraption
Any brand in any industry will welcome the endorsement of famous people, and the Total Gym has those endorsements from Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley to brag about.
These particular celebrities are certainly fit, and when you consider their ages you'll be amazed at just how good they look. Is it possible that you can achieve the same with this Chuck Norris workout machine?
The short answer to this question is yes. Most of the Total Gym reviews say the same thing, although there are several factors you need to consider.
A Wide Variety of Options
With compact home gym systems, you really do have a wide range of options to choose from over some other weight machines. You can go for the barebones models, while the more expensive models allow you to do more exercises. They also tend to have more padding so you're more comfortable.
Right now, there are 8 possible models to choose from. You've got the Core Trainer, XLS, GTS, FIT, Leg Trainer, Press Trainer, Pull-up Trainer, and Power Tower. These are just the products from Total Gym for sale to regular folks, although a few of them are marketed specifically for commercial gyms.
The basic configuration is however the same. You have a bench on which you sit or lie on, and then you have cables attached to handles. The amount of resistance you use will vary depending on your position and the angle of the bench.
The more expensive the machine you get, the more options you can attach and the more exercises you can perform. For example, you may have a foot plate attachment, and with that you can perform squats.
Workout Principles
For the most part, the foundation of Total Gym is the belief that weight lifting is the way to go. With this type of training, you can build muscle, lose weight, or rehab from injury.
That does seem to leave out cardio for the most part, but then again not everyone is convinced that cardio is all that essential when you engage in strength training. Cardio is important because it helps you maintain or improve your cardiovascular health. But for weight loss, strength training is actually better because you get rid of extra body fat while endless running may cause you to lose muscle as well.
And the strength training here doesn't involve weight equipment. Instead of barbells, dumbbells, and weights on cables, you use your own body weight as the resistance and still get full body workouts with this personal home gym.
So while you may target various muscles in different exercises, you generally tend to work your core muscles as well. That can really tighten up your midsection, and at the same time improving your core allows you to become better at many of the daily activities (walking, lifting, etc.) you do in real life. This machine will allow you to do ab workouts without separate ab exercise equipment. The accessories that you can get with it will make your home workout routine complete.
Advantages and Benefits
So why should you choose to get your workout equipment from here? Surely it's not enough that Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley are endorsing it. Actually, you get several advantages.
Total Gym XLS – Universal Home Gym for Total Body Workout
- For one, the vast majority of Chuck Norris exercise equipment reviews admit that these things are very durable. They simply will last for a very long time, and that's because the quality is superior.
- They're suitable for a large number of people. They can be used by both men and women, and by different age groups.
- The machines can work just about your whole body, when you pick the right model. That means you can essential sculpt your body from head to toe.
- It's very adaptive too. In other words, you can change the level of difficulty so that you can progress towards your fitness goal. You just need to change the angle of the incline and you're done.
- These machines are very easy to use. The manual you get will give you simple and clear instructions, and they come with exercises you can do. It's not all that complicated.
- They're also fun to use. This is a real advantage, because this can help prevent you from quitting on your program. You won't get bored because of the variety of exercises you can do, and since it is fun you're going to be looking forward to your workouts instead of dreading them.
- They will also give you lots of savings from gym memberships. If your fitness needs are simple enough, you won't really need a personal trainer and lots of different machines. The Total Gym will suffice.
Of course, the Total Gym isn't absolutely perfect. So let's take a look at the weaknesses:
- The cardio options are limited. While some machines allow you to do some rowing exercises, sustained cardio workouts are not going to be very easy to do. Here, your best cardio option is to do some rowing with a great degree of intensity.
- These machines tend to need a lot of space. The machines themselves take up a lot of space. And what's more, you're going to be moving around a lot, so you need lots of space around you.
This also makes storage a bit of a problem. Even those models which you can fold still need a lot of space.
- Adjustments aren't all that quick and easy. While some weight machines allow you to choose the weight you lift easily, with the Total Gym you're going to have to interrupt your workout to make your adjustments.
- Really advanced users may not get the full benefits. Professional athletes and advanced muscle builders will have to really go to the gym instead of relying on the Total Gym. For really advanced strength training, nothing can beat using barbells or dumbbells.
The Total Gym is a good buy, especially if you can afford the more advanced models. You can do more exercises, and at the same time you get more comfortable features as well.
But you may want to buy some DVDs about the exercises you can do, and that's usually another purchase. The DVDs may cover different fitness goals, and they may also use different methods (circuit training, Pilates, etc.).
In any case, the Total Gym beats having to buy lots of different machines. That's going to be more expensive, and that's going to use up more space too. With Total Gym, it's as if you have numerous machines in one nifty package, and that's the true genius of it.

Last Edition: NEWSIES Stars Recall Favorite Memories- Tommy Bracco
NEWSIES plays its final performance on Broadway this coming Sunday, August 24, but BroadwayWorld (and the rest of New York, we hope) isn't ready to let the musical leave just yet! Throughout the week, we continue the Newsies love by bringing you favorite memories from a slew of the current and past stars of the show!
TOMMY BRACCO (Spot Conlon, Scab, Ensemble - original and current cast)
Newsies tells the story of the underdog fighting for what they believe in. That story is very personal to me because its reflective of the struggle that actors go through everyday. This is a really tough business filled with lots of ups and downs and clearly, this point of my career has been an "up"! Going forth into the next chapter of my life, I will take what I learned at Newsies Square and hold it very close. And that is: if you continue to fight hard, your dreams will come true. I made my Broadway debut in this show together with a group of people I now call my family. There is something so special and powerful about this show that took my love for being a performer to a whole new level. I feel lucky, blessed, and honored to have been chosen to tell this story. We made history. NEWSIES FOREVER.
NEWSIES features a Tony Award-winning score with music by eight-time Academy Award winner Alan Menken and lyrics by Jack Feldman, with a book by four-time Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. Produced by Disney Theatrical Productions, NEWSIES is directed by Tony nominee Jeff Calhoun and choreographed by Christopher Gattelli, who won a 2012 Tony Award for his work.
When it opened on March 29, 2012, Newsies was intended for a Broadway run of just 101 performances. The show's fiercely devoted fans had other ideas, however: they propelled the show to a run that will total 1005 performances, attendance of more than 1 million and a gross of over $100M. At the time of Newsies' closing, only the landmark musical Rent will have played the Nederlander Theatre longer in its 93 year history.
Set in New York City at the turn of the century, Newsies is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic newsboy and leader of a ragged band of teenaged 'newsies,' who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys' expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what's right.

My brother-in-law got remarried over this past weekend. What do you give to someone on their 2nd wedding??? The best I could come up with was a gift card. I didn't want to just give them a gift card..... I wanted to make it cute. I talked with most of the rest of the family and I got them on board too.
I used my Cricut Designer's Calendar cartridge and cut out tulips that were 4". I cut out two for each flower. I glued them just on the sides and bottom with a wooden skewer inside. That left the top open for the gift card to slip inside. I then just stuck them in a vase with some twine tied to the vase and a tag. It turned out really cute and was a fun gift idea.

China has called on Fiji's neighbours to display a more understanding and reasonable attitude towards the country.
The call has been made by the deputy director of China's ministry of foreign affairs, Deng Hongbo, in an interview with Fiji TV.
Mr Deng says there should be constructive engagement with Fiji by the outside world.
He says there should be no unilateral action taken against Fiji because it is not right and unhelpful.
Mr Deng adds that China is pleased with Fiji's plans to hold democratic elections and believes it will be achieved under the leadership of the present government.
Meanwhile, Australia's new prime minister, Kevin Rudd, has appointed Duncan Kerr as special parliamentary secretary to improve the country's strained relations with neighbouring Pacific island nations.

If the Pennsylvania General Assembly did nothing else this session — a distinct possibility — it ought to have eliminated the automatic 3.5 percent raise that's written into law.
If the Pennsylvania General Assembly did nothing else this session — a distinct possibility — it ought to have eliminated the automatic 3.5 percent raise that's written into law.
Instead, legislators are taking the raise and running.
With a less than robust economy and many Pennsylvanians struggling to hang on to their homes and make ends meet, lawmakers will get their automatic pay raise today. They wrote it into law some time ago. The raise will give the House speaker and Senate president $118,896 in annual pay and rank-and-file legislators $76,163 (not to mention the $24,000 in unvouchered expenses each legislator also gets). Gov. Ed Rendell's raise will bring his salary up to $170,150. And on Jan. 1 the raise will be granted to Pennsylvania's 1,000 or so judges and top officials in the executive branch.
When will it end?
Pennsylvania suffers from one of the nation's biggest and most expensive state legislatures. It's bloated and ineffective. It's also secretive, with some of the most restrictive rules regarding open records and open meetings. This allows the General Assembly to continue doing what it's doing, which is plenty for itself and very little for the good of Pennsylvania citizens. Tax reform? Open records? Sound transportation policy resulting in improved roads? Great funding for public education? Lip service at best.
Automatic raise, on the other hand? Done!
People, please pay attention. Pressuring legislators to turn back the additional pay raise they enacted late at night in 2005 was only a beginning. Recent reports of illicit bonuses, patronage, do-nothing jobs and other abuses keep pouring in. The latest? Partisan polling at taxpayers' expense.
According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, lawmakers spent nearly $500,000 of your dollars on partisan polling so far this year to find out what Pennsylvania residents think. House Republicans and Senate Democrats actually refused to release the polls that taxpayers funded. The advocacy group Democracy Rising says Pennsylvania is likely the only state where public tax dollars are used for partisan polling.
Pennsylvania needs a Constitution convention to set state government aright. Ironically, the results of several of the polls that have been released indicate strong support for a convention.
More than 130 years have passed since the last time Pennsylvania's entire Constitution was proposed for revision. Given the costly and hide-bound state government, the time has come to re-evaluate and revise that document, improving government by proposing changes and shepherding them through the necessarily long and careful process (see www.democracyrisingpa.com for more information) to put those changes into place.
Pennsylvania government has passed out of the hands of the people and into the covetous hands of their elected officials. They got their raise. Now it's time for citizens to take their government back.

- Abstract:
- Sustainability, the consideration of environmental factors and social aspects, in supply chain management (SCM) has become a highly relevant topic for researchers and practitioners. The application of operations research methods and related models, i.e. formal modeling, for closed-loop SCM and reverse logistics has been effectively reviewed in previously published research. This situation is in contrast to the understanding and review of mathematical models that focus on environmental or social factors in forward supply chains (SC), which has seen less investigation. To evaluate developments and directions of this research area, this paper provides a content analysis of 134 carefully identified papers on quantitative, formal models that address sustainability aspects in the forward SC. It was found that a preponderance of the publications and models appeared in a limited set of six journals, and most were analytically based with a focus on multiple criteria decision making. The tools most often used comprise the analytical hierarchy process or its close relative, the analytical network process, as well as life cycle analysis. Conclusions are drawn showing that numerous possibilities and insights can be gained from expanding the types of tools and factors considered in formal modeling efforts.

Tips for entrepreneurs to regain focus and ensure optimal efficiency.
Staying productive in a world of busy-ness and distraction can be a mammoth task for anyone, let alone entrepreneurs. With so many things vying for your attention and time, it can be difficult to finish everything that you had set out to do that day, or to even prioritise the most important things that need to be done.
With that in mind, here are some practical ideas for business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs to regain focus and ensure optimal efficiency in terms of productivity.
- Make a to-do list: This may sound simple enough, but a lot of entrepreneurs set out trying to do everything. This is a recipe for failure. Making a to-do list ensures that the most important things get done first. The Pareto Principle will apply here – it states that 20% of your activities will account for 80% of your results. So if you only managed to do the top half of your list, stop stressing.
- Avoid distractions: Unless you are promoting your company or projects via social media stay away. More time is spent wasted by engaging and browsing social media. If it has nothing to do with your business then don't let it gobble up your precious time. A recent study by LearnStuff.com estimated that social media browsing is costing the US economy $650 billion per year. Use your time effectively – save the social media stuff for your personal time.
- Prepare for the next day: It is often said that the difference between success and failure is preparation. Most people find themselves more productive in the morning. By creating your to-do list, or setting time aside for meetings and projects the night before, will make you feel more confident to tackle the day ahead. By planning your day in advance, your subconscious will more than likely provide you with fresh insights and ideas the next morning.
- Make time for a break: Most busy people try to cram everything that they can into an inordinately short space of time. But being busy doesn't make you productive. Take a break – go for a walk, get some fresh air, maybe go to the gym. A change of scenery may be just what you need to feel rejuvenated.
US management consultant Peter Drucker says: "Nothing is less productive than to make more efficient what should not be done at all." So, make your list, set aside some downtime, and prepare – and watch how your productivity grows.

Angela Detanico and Rafael Lain (Caxias do Sul, Brazil) began exhibiting in 2001. Their work can be related to several art trends that gave life to Brazilian modernist avant-garde movements, such as concrete art, the visual poetry of the Noigandres group or digital art. At a time when many aspects of these movements are part of everyday life, making reference to them has a playful, if not ironic, dimension derived from the ambiguity created by those works. Here, language seems to have taken over, because the works are built on the voluntarily incorrect use of the coding and decoding work that characterizes the flow of information in contemporary society.

GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn. - A 47-year-old father of two said a false positive HIV test cost him his family and his job. Now he's proven he's healthy, but says he still can't clear his name.
"I was devastated. I thought it was the end of the world. I thought I was going to die," said Sean Smith.
Earlier this year Smith went to give plasma in Goodlettsville, but after the staff ran his name through a data base they turned him away.
"They told me I was HIV positive and they couldn't accept by blood," said Smith. He was stunned. Smith lived with the secret for months before telling his wife and that did not go well.
"She accused me of having an affair," said Smith.
The stress ended his marriage and cost Smith his job. He figured the diagnosis came from a prior blood test, but that he was never notified. Confused and scared he believed it. But -- at his daughter's urging -- Smith had his doctor run an HIV test and it came back negative.
Smith traces the problem back to the last time he gave plasma in 1995. He thinks there must have been a false positive and his name went on a national database in place to ensure a safe blood supply.
But Smith said his new negative test is not enough to have his name removed.
"They will not take me off the list. Once you are on it you are on it for good," said Smith.
Brad Beasley,HIV Prevention Director with the Metro HealthDepartment is trying to help Smith clear his name. But that is proving difficult.
"Unless the policy changes at the federal level you are banging your head against the wall," said Beasley.
The database is not open to the general public. But health professionals and businesses or agencies that deal in plasma and blood supplies can gain access said Bealey. He said cases like Smith's are unfortunate, but such data bases are in place to ensure a safe blood supply.
Health officials said the FDA sets federal guidelines for how the blood safety data bases work. And the agency is now looking at ways to remove false positives from the data bases.

40 years of high flying models
Chad Bryan, Staff Reporter
High-flying adventures with exciting competitive challenges and enticing prizes are all in the package of thrills for members of a group of model aeroplane aviation enthusiasts called the Flying High Radio Control Club.
A model aircraft is a small-scale replica of an existing plane. It may be flying or non-flying and is sometimes proportionally exact to the full-sized aircraft.
The club was started more than 40 years ago. Equipped with model aeroplanes, the club's
members get together on weekends and public holidays to entertain themselves and their guests. Competitions to pop balloons utilising the mini aircraft, and land in the centre of a marked area, among others, require that the operators hone their skills.
Members of the public are invited
to the Flying High gatherings, held at the Caymanas Polo
"The club has actually gone through a number of
transformations and different name changes. At one point in time it was
Hummingbird Radio Control Club, and in recent times it settled on Flying
High. I think this is about 10-15 years since it has been Flying High,"
said Dale Davis, the club's secretary.
He explained
that "it is a relatively small group of dedicated hobbyists, whose sole
purpose is to build a vibe of camaraderie while practising and
exercising their interests in model aviation".
said the Flying High membership ranges from park fliers with very small
aeroplanes to competition pilots, who fly aeroplanes up to 120 inches in
wingspan and powered by two-cylinder gas
"The largest size I think we have in the
island is a 170cc engine. We also have pilots interested in jet
propulsion aircraft, that use the same fuel as the commercial one, and
also electrical aircraft. There are those who are interested in gliders.
Those are dependent on thermal energy in the air to keep them
airborne," Davis said, adding that the fuel used in those aircraft is
from a local supplier.
Persons wishing to participate in the
Flyhing High activities or become a member of the club can be trained by
a certified member. "We do have a separate training programme with
certified instructors in the club and that is 30 flights," Davis
Newcomers to the hobby also need to invest
in a plane, batteries, fuel and other items needed for the aircraft's
safe flight.
The last gathering for 2014 was held at
the Caymanas Polo Club on Boxing Day, members of a radio control car
club joining in. In addition to the flying of gas and electric powered
aeroplanes, the club held a precision aerobatic contest which was won by
Donovan Osborne. Second place went to Dale Davis, and Stephen Laidlaw
was third.

Dear Bossip: We've Been BFF's For 8 Years, But I'm Wondering If We Should Cross The Line To Intimacy
Dear Bossip,
My best friend and I have known each other 8+ years (he is 31 years old, and I'm 29 years old). We met through a mutual acquaintance and later discovered that we attended the same school.
There was never a flirting relationship between us, just jokes and genuine dislike of "aggressive" people. We're both laid back go with the flow type of people. Most likely, this is why our friendship only ever existed on campus, i.e., we never hung out in a different setting, other than the first time we met.
Fast forward 2-3 year, we're both in relationships with other people. Mine ended; his turned into a marriage and a son. His wife was very controlling about him and our friendship. I'm not the type to step on anyone's toes so her dislike of me made me remove myself from the situation. Thus, our friendship literally became nothing more than phone conversations here and there. I would talk to him like he was one of the girls and he would talk to me like I was one of the guys.
A year into their marriage his wife (24 years old at the time, with 4 kids that weren't his, plus their 1, 5 total) began to go out, A LOT!!!! Also, his wife would have the car so on days that I could he would ask me for a ride home from work, which was no problem, but again that was our friendship. The only time that we would see each other was a 20-30 minute ride home from work. Eventually, his wife got herself a boyfriend and asked him to leave because he worked "too much" and didn't give her the attention she required.
During this time our type of friendship didn't really change. I would just listen to him as he questioned what he did wrong and how he could get his wife back and so on and so forth. At this point I myself was in a relationship and many of those conversations would be between the three of us. My ex telling him that he needed to get back out there (during their marriage he had lost friends and family by staying) find some friends and a new lady. Which he eventually did, but he's not into dating. He's a homebody and misses the family life.
Last October my boyfriend ended up leaving me to chase his dreams of being a rapper. Also, around that time I had lost my job, so when he left I was left with stacks of bills and nothing more than a part-time job. My best friend, however, had finally got the job that he wanted and things were and still are getting better for him and recently he has been my rock.
We've spent more time together in these last two months than we have our entire friendship. We go everywhere together, anything I need he provides, and if his ex goes nuts about the kids (her boyfriend left her, and he still takes care of her kids as if their his own) asking for more money leaving him broke. I do share the little that I have so he can eat, have gas money, etc. Also, we have never EVER crossed that friendship line, but…
Our families love each other and not one moment goes by without one of them telling us to cut the –ish, and get together. It's gotten so bad that our mutual friend is even joining in on the act and saying that we should give it a try. I don't know what he's thinking, but for me I know that the both of us needs this friendship right now more than we need to take a chance. But, things have gotten so bad between us that we no longer date other people, we'd rather do things together.
Only time we're with someone else is for sex, then when one tells the other its hints of anger on both sides, but neither of us go into detail. We both just shrug it off and down play the relationship we have with others. When I do ask him why he doesn't date anymore he'll say things like, "I'm tired from work" or "I don't have the money right now," but then he'll turn around and ask me, "Where do you wanna go?" Or, "What are we gonna do today?" I've told him that I don't want to cramp his style, but he'll just ignore me or say "I'd rather be around you than them."
At this point I don't know what to do or think. Should I continue to go with the flow or is this turning into an unhealthy situation? – Crossing The Line With Bestie
Dear Ms. Crossing The Line With Bestie,
Misery loves company!
Yes, I do agree that this is an unhealthy situation. You are co-dependent on each other, and notice that you're always together, especially when things are not going well in your relationships, or when you come out of relationships. You've become each other's ear, and shoulder to cry on. You run to each other to be consoled, and to bish and complain about others, and what's not working in your life. You've developed a relationship that is totally reliant upon each other's misery. And, it's not healthy.
Look, don't you think when you met years ago when you were in college that he would have stepped to you and pursued a relationship if he was interested? And, don't you think after all this time, at some point it would have dawned on him, he would have made a move and pushed up on you if he was really that interested? What I'm sensing is that you are more invested in his life, and what's going on with him than he is with you.
But, I get it. You're both emotionally and mentally needy people. And, he feeds your desires to be emotionally and mentally heard, and at the same time, you feed his desires to be emotionally and mentally heard. You feed off of one another. That is why he said that he would rather be around you than them. You understand him, get him, and support his emotional and mental rants. It's baggage, and you both are carrying each other's baggage. Other people don't want to be bothered because it becomes draining. But, it feeds the both of you.
Think about your friendship, and notice the pattern between the two of you. When he needs something he runs to you. You asked him why isn't he dating someone, and he said he's tired from work, and he doesn't have any money. Uhm, he doesn't have money because he is giving his money to his ex-wife who left him, and he's supporting her and her children that are not even his own. He has one child with her, but he is taking care of a household full of people. That doesn't make any sense. So, why is he doing it? Why is he giving her all his money? And, why are you supporting him doing this, and why are you giving him money for food and gas?
But, this is the kicker, he turns around and asks you where are we going to go today, and what are we going to do today. Who's paying for this? He doesn't have the money, so are you supporting him and taking care of him? Why? Friend or no friend, he has to become better at managing his own finances, and stop acting like a damn child. He has to grow up and become more responsible. But, neither of you see what you're doing. You two are doing nothing but using each other. Using each for emotional and mental support. Using each other for financial support. Using each other as shoulder's to lean on and cry on, and mope and bish to.
You both need to be in therapy, and, in particularly he needs some serious therapy. You can't fix him, help him, or solve his problems. But, he keeps running to you because you are the only one who will listen to him, and give him a stage to perform. You support this bull-ish, and he will keep using you, sucking your energy, and draining you. And, guess what, neither of you are in relationships, but he will find another woman, and continue this pattern with you.
No, I don't feel you should cross the line with him by becoming intimate. It will only complicate your relationship by making it physical and sexual. You're already emotionally and mentally in a relationship with him, and it has proven to be unhealthy, therefore, making it sexual will only make it worse. And, what happens once you discover you're not physically attracted to one another, or the sex is awkward and contrived? Also, look at his pattern and behavior. Nothing will change between you and he. He will continue to work, take care of his other family, and complain about his life, and you will continue to support him, and be his sounding board.
Stop being his sounding board. Stop financing him. Stop being his co-dependent partner in these emotional and mental rants. Stop giving him that much access to you. Stop letting him use you. I bet if you stop doing these he will find someone else to drain and suck the energy and life out of, and he will miss you for not being there for him, and helping him, and listening to him. It will become about him, and not how he's treating you, using you, and how he leaves you each and every time he comes and takes from you. It's time for a reassessment of your friendship, and what you clearly are not seeing. – Terrance Dean

Bringing collectors of The Dukes of Hazzard together. See my collection at DukesCollector.com

Another Holy Grail: The Dukes of Hazzard Sidewalk Bicycle
It's been a good few weeks as far as Holy Grails go. Here is another super rare Dukes item that I just added to the collection: The 1982 Dukes of Hazzard Sidewalk Bicycle from Hedstrom.
The bike shows a little wear, but is generally in great condition. (It took all I had not to write out -in General Lee condition- there.) The name Sidewalk Bike means, I guess, that it is meant to be used on the sidewalk, not the road. It could have had training wheels attached, but they did not come with the bike.
If the 01s didn't give it away, the plate on the front told the world this bike's rider is fan of the Dukes of Hazzard.
The makers of the bikes, trikes, big wheels, and pedal cars just couldn't get the 01s down during the golden era. On all of these ride-ons, the font is wrong, and the numbers are blue, not black. Weird.
The General Lee font, on the other hand, is surprisingly close to being correct. Again, weird.
The plate has the standard WB copyright information on it. Unlike a majority of the Golden Era merchandise, this item was released in '82, not '81. I was released in '81.
The bike is made by Hedstrom. I couldn't find out online if this is the same company that is today called Hedstrom and was founded in 1913 as Eagle Rubber from Ohio specializing in bouncy balls and such, or if the company is related to the co-founder of Indian Motocycles, whose last name is Hedstrom. Maybe the company was just named after him.
Movie Bo Duke likes the connection to Indian Motocycles.
Not all the stickers are perfect, but they still look good.
A coaster brake is the name of the type of brake that stops the bicycle by pushing the pedal backwards.
It is a little smaller than the modern Wal-Mart version of the DK General Lee BMX bike. I like how much bigger the 01s are on the sidewalk bike, but I guess you would need giant plastic plates on the newer one to achieve this, and they would probably get in the way. These two bikes look great displayed together. It is really cool that these two items were released thirty years apart. It's a complete circle of Dukes of Hazzard collecting.

Nice bike!ReplyDelete
I've managed to find out a bit of information on Hedstrom.
Founded in 1915 to make bicycles.
Filed for bankruptcy in 2004 with 1,968 employees
Took out many bicycle patents during the 80s.
Headquarters address was:
Hedstrom Corporation
3436 N. Kennicott Ave.

Hope that's useful.
Watch out for hop ons. You're gonna get some hop ons.ReplyDelete
I have one with partial stickers, wonder what it's worth?....ReplyDelete

Utrecht, Netherlands – It is about time that key players concerned with ATM security issues joined their forces to enable cross-vendor countermeasures against ATM security threats. That is the conclusion reached during discussions held at two major industry events: the ATM Security 2015 Conference in London and CELAES in Panama. The ATM Security Association attended both events to offer insights into its achievements so far, its mission and goals. The association's objectives include bringing ATM manufacturers, suppliers and service providers, banks, independent ATM deployers (IADs) and authorities together to build a secure platform for the analysis of ATM security threats, exchange of information and development of relevant industry security standards.
During ATM Security 2015, the world's leading conference on ATM fraud and security, the ATM Security Association's Chairman Uwe Krause as well as other representatives discussed the association's progress and roadmap for the future with several interested delegates – both at the association's booth in the exhibition area and during a session on industry-wide co-operation as part of the speaker program. Among the participants showing great interest were IADs, financial institutions, ATM manufacturers, and suppliers from several different countries. Representatives of other industry associations as well as numerous technology experts also engaged in detailed discussions.
During the Latin American CELAES meeting, Tom Moore, Managing Director North America at association member TMD, likewise received positive feedback regarding his presentation on the ATM Security Association, in particular its concept and mission. Visitors of the event consisted mainly of executives and managers responsible for security at financial institutions, suppliers and service providers.
Altogether, the association draws a positive conclusion: "The great amount of interest we received during these major events confirms that the association is addressing an ever-increasing demand for cross-industry collaboration and manufacturer-independent action against global ATM security threats", summarizes Uwe Krause. During the events, the association was able to initiate valuable and promising conversations, and succeeded in attracting new prospective members, culminating in verbal commitments from two new members during the events.

Almost 50% of the children have brothers or sisters. So many people know what it means to have a brother – to have someone you might hate sometimes, because he probably competes with you sometimes, but if you need him, he will be there for you just because he is your brother. Especially if he is your big brother: He is more grown up and stronger than you and your rivals and is able to protect you well. So why the hell do you call a dictator, a leader of a totalitarian system "Big Brother"?
Well, in "1984" George Orwell uses a lot of antithesises like "War is peace" etc. to underline the twisting of the reality into the reality the government wants and this surpressing, controlling and brainwashing leader is also basically the antithesis of his name – The way he acts is in contrary to the way he presents himself to the citizens and how everyone sees him: As a protector. Someone who is caring about them, who vaporizes the evil ones. And since the leading of the totalitarian system is represented by "Big Brother", by one subject, the people can put trust in this person. But probably this face that is presented to the people is not even the face of a real person, its just the fictive incarnation of the collective domination of the inner party.
So Orwell chooses this name to give a frightening proof how successfull totalitarian systems can present themselves as the helping hand, the good guys or the big brother taking care of the people.

Madonna Cut Daughter out of 'W.E.'
(LOS ANGELES) -- As the director of W.E., Madonna had to make some tough choices -- including cutting her own daughter out of the film.
The Queen of Pop tells MTV she cast Lourdes as a younger version of Abbie Cornish's character, a woman in the present day who's interested in the forbidden romance between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.
Madonna says, "She was really great and then I ended up cutting her out of the film. Ruthless, I know."
She recalls, "I said, 'Sorry babe, you're on the cutting room floor.' She took it like a champ."
W.E. debuts in limited release Friday.

text: Brand MarketingPerspective: Message in a BottleYou cherish your dad's old tweed jacket—but you don't drink his whiskeyBy Robert Klara|June 30, 2011ShareBy Robert Klara|June 30, 2011Share As a cocktails columnist and occasional bartender, Michael Dietsch often runs across old decanters and barware at flea markets near his home in Providence, R.I. But there's one artifact he's yet to encounter: "I've never seen a bust," Dietsch says, referring to the kitschy piece of plaster handiwork that takes center stage in this 1962 ad for Old Grand-Dad. Well, maybe one day. But the very fact that Dietsch is finding old decanters and barware at junk sales in the first place is the more telling point. Why? It proves that Americans aren't drinking distilled spirits like they used to. (Not at home, anyhow.) It also helps explain the dramatic shift in marketing themes between the 49-year-old ad and its modern counterpart. As Dietsch explains: "The very elements of conformity and longevity [celebrated] in these 1960s ads ended up hurting distillers by the 1980s because people didn't want to drink their old man's booze anymore." Poor Old Grand-Dad. According the Smithsonian Institution, the 1950s through the '60s was the cultural heyday of the home bar—built by dad (usually in the basement) and fitted out with decanters, ice buckets, and highball glasses. And that's exactly where the ad at right takes us. "It was aimed at male consumers, and it told them what guests expected to see," Dietsch says. By evoking tradition (which, if anything, is what that bust is doing) the ad also reassured: Serve your company Old Grand-Dad, and you stand within acceptable social parameters; drink like your father (and his father), and you're going to be OK. Just not for very long. After all, the late '60s shook every social construct to pieces. Basement bars ceded to discos. Women started careers—and went out for cocktails. Drinks at home morphed to drinks at celebrity-chef bistros. Before you knew it, dad's old standby hooch was a poor fit for the individualistic millennial consumer. "Small batch, single-barrel became the aspirational thing to drink," Dietsch notes, "not the brand your father drank." So whiskey ads changed, and Woodford is a textbook example of how. Small batch, not big. A high-rise bar, not one in the basement. And instead of a presumed male drinker, "the Woodford ad is [sexually] ambiguous," Dietsch points out. Which is to say: Whiskey's marketing message has been broadened, contemporized—the inevitable work of time. It's just too bad someone tossed out that nifty bust.

SummaryTrekkies and non-Trekkies alike, everyone needs to play this game :-)
The GoodAlright. In actuality, I am not a Trekkie. I do enjoy the show, particularly the original, Next Generation, and Voyager, a good bit. I'm sorry, but DS9 just doesn't appeal to me. Anyway, obviously people who go to conventions dressed as Klingons (and moreover bother to *learn* the language) would find just about any Trek game satisfying. But this is truly Gaming Goodness (to use the PC Gamer terminology) and I wouldn't doubt that almost any person who enjoys adventure gaming would enjoy this program. Even if there were no Star Trek legacy behind it, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary is a great play.
First off, the quality is evident everywhere. The graphics, sound, and voice-acting are all top-notch for the era. No skimping here, people. The environments look like you would expect to see in the original Trek. Only better, thanks to computer graphics. Then the voice acting seems to be done by at least some of the original actors, as it is authentic as these things come. No flatness, almost no awkwardness. It's, for the most part, natural and believable. Combined with the dialogue, which is usually well written (there are campy moments from time to time), the speech in the game serves to bring you into it and keep you there.
Plots are vintage Star Trek. And, after all, isn't one of the things which kept us coming back to the TV series the great, often bizaare plotlines? It probably wasn't the female crew in short skirts. Or was it? Be that as it may, the plotlines here are great for the most part. Without repeating stale plotlines from the show, 25th Anniversary succeeds in bringing the best of the show's feel and blending it with good puzzles to create excellent game content.
Finally, there is actually replayability here. What?? In an adventure game?? Yes! After each mission, you are presented with a rating that tells you how well you did at completing your tasks in the best Star Fleet tradition (yes, that does usually mean non-violence). Not only are you here to solve puzzles, but, in like a good Star Fleet officer, you are a diplomat and explorer as well. So don't miss out any chance to make a good impression on the other beings that you meet throughout the game. This ratings system is where the replayability comes in. There is alot of motivation to come back and see what you might have done differently for a better score.
The BadAt times the music was rather annoying, despite it being good on the whole.
Also, the game is rather short. Especially if you like it as much as me. Why can't they make more like this?
And finally, there were a couple places where you could get stuck because you missed something in a previous area (like the ship).
The Bottom LineIf you like adventure gaming, this one's one of the best in the business. In my opinion, it stands with such classics as Gabriel Knight and Monkey Island.

Hello Keurig!
Hello all! It's been a while since I've done a review, so my skills may be a little rusted. I was recently given the opportunity to try out & review the new Keurig 2.0 & I have to say, it's great!
I have used one of the other models at my aunts house. I love that I don't have to make a whole pot just for one pot. I am the type that likes coffee at random times, sometimes at midnight! I never helps keep me awake, so it's no big deal to me. With this one, not only can you brew a single cup, you can also brew a carafe when you buy the K-Carafe pack. It has nine brewing sizes, anywhere from 4oz to 30oz. It is touch screen, I have medium length nails & have to use the side of my finger, but that's no big deal to me. Now, the only thing I find wrong with it, is that only pods with the Keurig logo work with. I usually get the cheap store brands & normally they do not have the logo on it. Other then that, I love the machine! Pretty simple to use(maybe because I've had some practice with another machine). You do have to add more water then other machines, that's how it's been when I use mine, it could depend on the size cup you brew. This is a nice little machine for people who like coffee, but don't like to make a whole pot or want a cup of coffee(or tea! or hot chocolate!) at a weird time.
I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing & review.

Does it get better
On July 5, 2011 I received my test strips and lancets in the mail. I was so glad that I finally got the insurance to cover the diabetic supplies. I was sitting there looking at the strips and lancets and it hit me. This is what I will have to do for the rest of my life. I thought I was beginning to accept this but that is not the case. I feel just as bad as I did when I was first diagnosed November 4, 2010. It has been 8 months and I still can't seem to deal with it very well. My family is supportive but it is all overwhelming to me. Testing blood sugar, carb counting, A1C numbers, what you can eat, what you can't eat I am just tired. Does it get better?
19 replies
Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts, and words of encouragement. I read every reply and they all were very helpful. I guess I had better, as my husband colorfully puts it, "shit or get off the pot." LOL.
Well, as you have read here, the only way is up! There is only one thing to do now and it is in regards to your husbands comment: Like Nike "just do it". For that matter, Hope Everything Comes Out All Right!
i have been diabetic since 1981. it has its ups and downs, but with all the break throughs is medicine i think it will get better. in fact it is already better since i was diagnosed with diabetes. the meters are alot easier to use now. they have new stuff coming out all the time . hope you have a great day god bless you always
"Things" do get more familiar for you as time goes on and you learn more about diabetes. You learn what foods work well with your body and what causes you problems. There are days that are up and down for us all, but we just have to keep working at it to stay as healthy as we can be…I am diet/exercise controlled with no meds or insulin, but most definitely I am a work in progress and that means everyday working at me…Good Luck to you and keep us posted..after all, we are all here to help each other, with the good, happy and hard days.
I add my voice to the chorus of responses telling you that it can and does get better.
How quickly that happens depends on your mental attitude about this condition. The quicker you can accept the things you must do to live a healthier life with diabetes as your "new normal" the better things will be. For me it is so integrated into who I am and what I do, if I didn't have diabetes for some reason all of a sudden I would be a bit puzzled as what to do with myself.
I pray your new normal comes to you soon
Yes, Kim things will get better soon. You will start knowing stuff just as if it were on the back of your hand. And it will be as normal to you as what non-diabetecs find as normal. The packets of medical supplies are going to be your bag of gifts. Make fun of this illnes don't let it get you down. Show diabetes who is the boss. Do not worry about your finger picks either, its like a stick with your fork or tooth pick. Just laugh and make fun of the issues, don't get up-set about them!!!!!!!
Yes Kim it does get better just hang in there. Better to fight it now than later or it will take control of you.
I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes on June 4, 2011 at a free clinic in the Bronx. The day before I went in for my physical and bloodwork, I was 54 years old, unemployed and living with my mother. I had a history of back ailments and chronic depression. On the afternoon that I was diagnosed I received my prescriptions for Metformin and GlyBuride and another appointment set for one month later. I was still 54 years old, still unemployed and I was still living with my mother. But now I had confirmation of something I had suspected for a long time anyway, and I had the knowledge that I was now in control of how much or how little I was going to let it add to the load I was already carrying.
It may sound odd, but Diabetes has given me focus and provided me with the greatest reason I have to wake up every morning. I wake up to see how much better I can feel than I did the day before. I wake up to see if I can beat my low blood glucose readings from yesterday. I challenge myself to eat well and still manage my carbs and sugars. I am just getting started and I am confused about what to eat and how much of this and how little of that I can have.
Websites like this are as important to my siuccess as my doctors are, perhaps more so because, as we all know, the doctor can see us once a month or once every few months, but it is we who take the most care of this disease. We prepare our meals and prick our fingers. I don't exactly enjoy the finger pricks, but they aren't as bad as I thought they would be.
Yes, it gets better every day.
I am so thankful and blessed that I have a "rest of my life" that I am willing to do anything it takes just to stay this way. Not that I don't have a few brief moments of self pity and despair…but in the long run I have had 3 more grandsons since I had pancreatic cancer, lost my pancreas and became diabetic…so to me its all good! I wish you well…it's a hard journey…but you are alive. You just have to love something more than you hate your condition…
Hi Kim, I see that you were DX in Nov. Well, I was DX 6 years ago and it was MORE than overwhelming for me too. I went to work and couldn't see who was coming through the front door!! Just all of a sudden out of the blue!! Called my Dr. who sent me for blood work and they called me 5 minutes after I walked through the door and said "You need to call your Dr. immediately your levels are off the chart!" I still had no idea what they were talking about! Went to see my Dr. and he said "You have full blown Type 2 Diabetes and you'll need insulin before you eat and at night!! Well I started out with 3 shots of humalog during the day and 1 shot of Lantus at night. Worked really hard to get it under control and finally got to a point where I didn't have to take the daytime shots just the one at night. But then I made the dreadful mistake of ignoring my diabetes. Not testing like I should and then not having insurance I couldn't afford to take my insulin at over $200.00 per vile!! Well last Nov. I ended up in the hospital in excruitiating pain. Had gall stones so they had to take the gall bladder out. I've been back in the hosp. 5 times with pancreatitus since then and still can't get my #'s back in control!! I too feel just as bad as when I first started but very quickly came to the realization that it's my own fault for not taking care of it right from the beginning!! We all get frustrated and overwhelmed and even angry at times but just don't give up!! Remember that the COMPLICATIONS are way worse than the diabetes itself!! Trust me I know!! Just don't give up even if you have a bad day just ride it through and try again tomorrow! It will be well worth it in the end!! Good luck to you! Ellen
Your right there is a lot to learn and thank God there has been a lot of improvement in how we do things and how to learn how by professional people and Diabetic Connect is a great tool to. My husband looks at me and says he doesn't know if he would be able to do that. I started with pills and didn't have much control. Insulin took be from 10 A1C to 7 and I still am working at it. I don't want to tell you how long I've been trying to master this sickness. Good luck to you and keep intune with DC it is a great tool.
It does get better with time and a good attitude. Just taking somethings in stride is how I deal with it. So I have to spend a little extra time in the grocery store figuring out what is best. I refresh my "good food list" every few months, because sometimes I forget why I chose what I did.
As for testing, yes, it is an every day thing, but so is brushing your teeth, combing you hair and getting dressed. Just look at it that way, and it is not such a big deal. It is a part of your routine, but it doesn't take a huge amount of time and it tells you how to work out your day. See it as a tool, not a chore and it will help.
It helps me to think that my diabetes diagnosis actually saved my life. If I had continued my lifestyle, my life could have been considerably shortened or its quality seriously impared. Whenever I get to feeling down, I try to remember that diabetes has actually made me healthier than ever before. Just remember diabetes is a labor intensive job with great payoffs. Go easy on yourself and remember to laugh, love and seek out good things to do for others.
Hi. You know I felt the exact same way when I got put on my TWO different insulins. I thought daily shots, wow will I ever get used to this? But you know what? I did eventually get used to it.sometimes its inconvient but for the most part it gets better.it becomes more second nature to do the diabetic routine. For me its two or more shots a day! We must do what we have to too stay healthy and prevent any side effects. It will get better just hang in there ok? Don't give up! For me having to carry needles where ever I go was the hardest part. Not even being able to just go to lunch without carrying along my needle bag. But like I said it does become second nature and gets better! God bless you and I wish you the best
Like learning anything new it does get to feel more normal. Not sure if it is really better just not as overwhelming. After 19 months of learning and living I've figured out what some foods do to my BG. Can actually go to a new restaurant and ask the right questions to calculate what carbs might be lurking in the food. It has been awhile since I felt lost and confused at the grocery store reading carb counts and lamenting that there is nothing I can have that I like. Said goodbye to som old favorties, but found new foods that I like even better.
Unfortunately, all that you bring up is now a fact of life for you. But that is OK. There are a lot of stories here that relate the tough and not so tough times.
I have only been a member of this group for a relatively short time, however, you will find many good folks in here that will provide you with an inordinate amount of information.
Your wonderful medical care team will leave you hanging in a heartbeat. They forget that not everyone is on their level. Even me who had worked in the Medical field in the USN for 22 years. Although I have cared for my Sailors in all levels of care, EVEN I was awestruck with how overwhelming this was; and still is.
Here is my contribution to that mix. I will be submitting some links that are worth looking at. First and foremost is for a book that many of us here have. Read and still keep as a ready reference:
This link will let you know of what some of us still have to go through!
This is a stolen post from one of my FB Posts but sums up what we all feel at one point or another: "BUT YOU DON'T LOOK SICK.??! It's a daily struggle feeling sick on the inside while you look fine on the outside. Please put this as your status for at least 1 hr if u or someone u know has an invisible illness (Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue, Diabetes, Crohns, Arthritis, Kidney Disease, Epilepsy, MS, Depression,Borderline personality, Anxiety, Cancer, Asthma, C.O.P.D., etc"
So Keep your head held high and keep smiling!! Smiling keeps people wondering what you're up to!!
jdr "Doc"
I'm so used to the routine I don't even think about it… I was diagnosed in March 1998, and was in shock for a while but once I decided to take charge of my life, I just did what needed to be done. I test, I take meds, I shoot insulin, and whatever else I need to do to keep going. I don't feel it's a problem with testing, but I just do what's needed to stay alive… Just hang in there and stay positive!!
Yep it hits you hard .
OK I bet when I first had to sit on the potty O GOD I AM GOING TO DO THE REST OF MY LIFE !!!!
Its no big deal its just one more bump in the road like vlowing your nose wiping your tush just one more thing we do to make life go on.
It is better then loseing a foot or eye sight ???
I feel better with my #s good
Hang in there it does get better
Best wishes

The theme of my cooking club's next meal is "classic San Francisco". The hostess is making cioppino, and I need ideas for a dish to add to the meal. I'm not a bread maker, so I don't think I'm up for making sourdough from scratch (unless someone wants to convince me that it's easier than I think), but could make a dish that uses store bought sourdough in a fun way. Any ideas?
It's old school. But Chop suey and crab rangoon started in San Francisco.
Maybe a crab rangoon appetizer and rumaki (chicken livers and water chestnuts wrapped with bacon and fried).
Check out some classic trader vic recipes for appetizers.
A Green Goddess salad! It was developed by the head chef at the Palace Hotel in 1923. Here is some more information:
I don't have my copy of The Essential New York Times Cookbook handy, but I believe the recipe is in it. Send me a note privately for more info. ;o) P.S. Sounds like such a fun theme!
>A Green Goddess salad.
I miss green goddess. I might have to whip some up this week. Thanks for the reminder of that dressing.
You can make the legendary "San Francisco treat" from scratch. I believe it started as a family recipe, maybe Lebanese. Should be findable!
How about Blum's coffee crunch cake: Flo Braker's version. Blum's was an institution in San Francisco; whenever we travlled there, we had to visit Blum's for something sweet.
I believe the coffee crunch shouldn't sit on the cake too long before serving, maybe add up to an hour or just before serving.
Or, Irish Coffee. OR both.
Maybe some sourdough croutons in that Green Goddess Salad?
Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I may experiment with the green goddess direction, since I think that will go best with our meal, but will definitely save some of these other ideas for another time.
My other thought is to make homemade 'It's It" icecream sandwiches...in which case, you may see another Food Pickle question about how to make oatmeal cookies that will stay soft when frozen...
Oh, yes, the It's It Ice cream sandwiches are so perfect. Think about an oatmeal cookie filled with one of the many ice creams on this site. Any oatmeal cookie recipe would be wonderful, as long as it has enough fat and corn syrup to be relatively soft when frozen. Great project!
Flo's Blum's cake rocks, I've made it many times.Cold cracked dungeness crab is another classic starter. Serve it with sourdough! Crab Louis is another. Hopefully someone will make some. It's very easy to incorporate a cup of starter into the very easy 'no-knead' recipe if someone has some or you make or buy it.
The green goddess sounds like good and do-able side or starter. They still serve hangtown fry with oysters at Tadich Grill for 140 years, and I've had the Ciippino there many times.
I wonder how old you mean when you say classic? Blum's isn't pre-1900's
very true, nutcakes, "classic San Francisco" covers a lot of eras!
Two ideas: General Tso's Chicken also started in San Francisco.
OR, how about making a chocolate dessert with Ghirardelli chocolate? San Francisco is the home of Ghirardelli.
Ms. T, I can send you via the messaging system the Ghirardelli Double Chocolate Brownie recipe, if you like. It's one of our favorites. ;o)
If you're going with the Ice Cream Sandwiches, these cookies http://www.food52.com/recipes...
stay soft under all conditions.
ChefJune I love those oatmeal cookies . . . the best oatmeal cookies to emerge from my kitchen, ever. What a great idea, using them for ice cream sandwiches! Thinking rum raisin ice cream here, of course. Or maybe rum/dried sour cherries ice cream. ;o)
What a fun supper club theme. Several years ago Gourmet magazine did a theme issue based around San Francisco recipes and food. If I can find that magazine -- it's buried in a box in our basement -- I'll take a look at it and post some ideas and links.
Yum -- I am going to have to make ChefJune's oatmeal cookies with rum-soaked raisins. Sounds delicious. I just googled the Ghirardelli double chocolate brownie recipe that AJ mentioned. That looks amazing too. AJ, do you use ground chocolate when you make these? The recipe says not to sub cocoa for the ground chocolate. I wonder if it's possible to grind your own chocolate. We can buy Ghirardelli cocoa in Canada, but I've never seen their ground chocolate for sale in stores here.
Ms T, hope that you will report back what you end up making!
cookinginvictoria, yes, I do use the ground chocolate . . . here in the SF Bay Area, Ghirardelli Everything is ubiquitous. Send me your address via the messaging system (through my profile) and I'll send you a few containers of it! Actually, if you could get another kind of ground chocolate, it would probably work just as well. Or, ask foodpickle how to substitute cocoa for ground chocolate. With the vast wealth of baking knowledge amongst us, you may just find that (most likely with some fat added) you can use the Ghirardelli cocoa after all. ;o)
As a San Francisco native, I can't tell you how much your answers have made me homesick! In addition to the dishes mentioned above, how about making a mess of Joe's Special or Celery Victor?
Cioppino is classic San Francisco, and with sourdough bread--yum! I'm from the Bay Area, and we always had cioppino with sourdough and a spinach salad.
Thanks for the memories, cookinginvictoria. The Gourmet magazine look at SF was in March 2002. It sits on the bookshelf with my cookbooks. But it did not celebrate the era of sourdough bread, cioppino, and Hangtown fry. Much more current, with a celebration of greens (Monterey Market) and overly opinionated neighbors (Michael Chabon's description of Berkeley). Another place not to look (I thought it might be) is the Williams Sonoma book on San Francisco. I was pretty sure it had a recipe for an It's It, but I was wrong.
mtrelaun: How about a recipe for "Celery Victor?" I love celery, and it's so underused.
Many thanks!
Oh, yes the Ghirardelli chocolate brownies; I make them all the time-- so easy! (But I make them "single chocolate"). We have family friends we entertain frequently (tho' not nearly as frequently as they invite us). If I don't serve (or bring) those brownies, I may as well be in the doghouse.
Thank you all for the great suggestions! To answer the question posed by nutcakes and creamtea, the theme is deliberately vague because we all like room for interpretation. So it doesn't have to be a recipe from any particular time period, as long as it screams San Francisco.
But I like the idea of doing something a little "old school", so I've committed to the "It's It" ice cream sandwiches. Boulangere and ChefJune, thanks for the suggestions on the oatmeal cookies. ChefJune, that recipe looks amazing and I will definitely try it. But I'm not sure I want raisins for my iceceam sandwich--do you think these cookies would still stay soft when frozen without the rum-soaked raisins? And/or do you think I could do a splash of rum in the dough without the raisins?
Does anyone have tips on how to get a super thin chocolate coating? Do you water the melted chocolate down with a little milk or cream?
Will save all those other great ideas for another time--thanks everyone.
Sorry, Ms. T. it's those rum-soaked raisins that keep the cookies soft! Guess that won't work.
mtreulaun, sign me up for a plate of Joe's Special any day of the week.
@ChefJune: The original Celery Victor is really easy and good (http://bit.ly/nO3L7w) but I prefer the vinaigrette in this updated version: http://epi.us/qMvkjI. Totally agree that celery is underappreciated as a gastronomic lead actor!
Mtrelaun: thanks for the link. Duly copied. Sounds delicious!
Wanted to follow up and let you all know that our San Francisco feast was a success! We had a bay shrimp & celery salad (unfortunately our Green Goddess gal dropped out at the last minute), homemade sourdough bread, an Alice Waters-inspired savory goat cheese souffle, and cioppino chock full of seafood. For dessert, I made gussied-up "It's It" ice cream sandwiches with oatmeal molasses spice cookies and vanilla bean ice cream, dipped in Mexican chocolate. They were a big hit! The recipe is on my blog: http://stillsimmering.wordpress.com/
Thanks again for all the creative suggestions--I'm saving them for another time!
Alioto's on the wharf served a classic crab dish. Served in a very significant long tureen, there was quite a bit of crab in a cream, sherry, and mustard sauce. The mustard was at the forefront of the sauce. They served it with warm slices of sourdough.
Sorry, kids, you can't duplicate classic San Francisco sourdough; at least no one's come close that I've heard of. Though their factory is now located in nearby Burlingame, Guittard chocolate started in San Francisco and makes better chocolate than Ghirardelli.

text: MISHAWAKA -- You can now drink beer and smoke on the course at the Eberhart-Petro Municipal Golf Course. The beer has to be bought at the Eberhart Grille, and any coolers used have to come from there, too. But there are no restrictions on where the cigarettes are from. Members of the Mishawaka Board of Parks and Recreation voted Monday to allow their customers to drink beer on the course. Board member Ellen West cast the only vote against the change. She said at an earlier meeting that she was concerned about her son and other underage customers. John Coppens, a member of the board's golf committee, said the course is losing revenue because some golf outings are being taken elsewhere. "Overall, we feel it's (allowing beer) a good program and we should proceed," he said. "We can revoke it at any time." Golf pro Ben Berger said people already are sneaking alcoholic beverages onto the course. The course has always allowed smoking, and the county's no-smoking ordinance exempts golf courses from the prohibition against smoking in public parks.
