text: This weekend well over 1,000 motorcycles descended upon Pomeroy, Ohio for the biggest Meigs County Memorial Day Bike Run ever. Several riders from Mason County participated and helped organize the event which nearly doubled Pomeroy's population in a matter of hours, turning it into a mini-Sturgis. There were so many bikes it took nearly a half hour from the time the first bike left the parking lot to begin the run, to the time the last bike departed. Pictured are scenes from Main Street in Pomeroy which was closed to traffic to allow more room for more bikes which also filled the Pomeroy Parking Lot and Court Street. There were food vendors, bike games and entertainment in Pomeroy after bikers returned from the run - making it one of the area's biggest festivals. Proceeds from the event are used to buy Christmas presents for local children in need.

text: After much thought, I think I will be purchasing a Spitfire in the next couple of months. Last year I was pretty stoked on the Potatonator, but it seems just a little too flat and boxy and never bought it. Unfortunately, I do ride thigh to shoulder high gutless waves most of the time here in South Carolina. I'm 6'2", 170 and fit, normally ride a 6'4" shortboard, so I'm thinking 6'0" in the Spitfire. I prefer FCS fins, but I really don't know which way to go on construction. I like the option of White Rapidfire, first because it's white. I'm assuming it has the same slightly lower cost as the regular Rapidfire, and it does not need the goretex vent. I have also heard the top deck on Rapidfire's seems even more durable than FST. That being said, if I'm spending this much, upgrading to the FST does not bother me much. Again, I like the white and balsa rails look great in the FST. The lighter blank and vent are slightly concerning, but I've never broken a Poly board before, so it should only be stronger, right? Is there anything else I need to consider? Does one float higher than the other? Is there any notable difference in durability? Thanks for the feedback. One more quick question. I've never ridden a Quad. In 3-4' not completely mushy waves, should I find a Quad faster, quicker in turns than the thruster?

on 11/02/08 i just found out my daughter is having a baby. So we decided to celebrate so we started by ordering from red lobster.No other resteraunt would do because she craves stuff flounger from red lobster .which she was getting every other day for 2wks before i found out she was pregant.We order take out we ordered 1 order tilapia and aaparagus with a salad 2 orders of stuff flounder with salads. First of all all 3 salads were just lettuce and they were less than a childs size portion next both flounders was not stuffed it took us 35min to get their and 35min 2 get back .Due to the price of gas and all the other crap thats going on in the USA do you think i have 46.64 to waste HELL NO I WOULD LIKE A FULL REFUND for lost of time and gas
...and I'll echo what the other's said--Check your order before youleave the restaurant! I'm not sure where your from so maybe Red Lobster is the best Seafoodplace in your neck of the woods, but I, for one, do not consider thefood at Red Lobster to be of good quality. I guess I'm spoiled, inthat I live right on the coast and quality seafood is not hard tofind. I only go to Red Lobster once in a blue moon for their endlessshrimp special. Flounder is considered safe for pregnant women but I believe there isstill small levels of mercury in it. I'd like to know why you drove 35minutes to get take-out food? And even if the restaurant screwed upthe order, I don't think you should be compensated for time and gasbecause even if the order was correct, the drive & gas used would ofbeen the same.
Check orders, people, especially being a half an hour drive. It takesfive minutes and it saves a LOT of trouble. That being said, Red Lobster, in my experience, has never been a greateating establishment, but that might just be me spoiled by fresh NovaScotian seafood.
ALWAYS check your food when getting carry out! It doesn't matter ifit's McDonald's, Burger King, Red Lobster, or Outback Curbside. Thisis especially true if you live as far away as you say you do. Yes, Red Lobster made a mistake, and for that, they should rectify thesituation. However, I hope that you realize that assuming human errorwon't occur when filling an order is not only naive, but also amistake on your part. There's no way they can or will refund you, orprobably not even offer you replacement food now that it's 2 daysafter the fact. As far as time and gas go, you chose to drive to a distant location. That is a personal choice, and not the fault of Red Lobster. Justremember if you choose to visit this location again, check your foodbefore leaving. That way, you can show the staff that the order iswrong, while at the same time saving you the stress and anger ofdriving all the way home without the proper food. I do understand your anger. However, it is rather foolish to believethat human error won't occur.
You are not getting a refund. You should have checked your orderbefore leaving the restaurant.
You said this order was pick up. And if you picked it up whey didn'tyou check the order to make sure all the items were there BEFORE youleft? Fish is not a healthy food to be eating in the first two trimesters ofa pregnancy because of the mercury. What I cannot understand is why you cannot make stuffed flounder onyour own? I mean its not that difficult a dish to make and you willprobably surprise yourself and it will taste better than Red Lobsters.
You did do that didn't you? And where is this Red Lobster located? The company needs to know so they can bring this complaint to theproper restaurant.
Ugh. All of that food would be rather gross to eat, after a 35 minutedrive home!
danielle t., While you are waiting for your response from Red Lobster you mightwant to review the recommendations on this site: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/pregnancy-and-fish/PR00158 BillR.

Emjoi Light Caress Corded Epilator
Teresa R.MidwestWay Better Than Old School Epilators!Years ago I tried an epilator purchased from a big box store. It was so painful. This Emjoi is so different. On my legs the feeling is barely noticable. When doing the bikini area is does sting more as the hair is removed from the folical. My two teen age daughters keep trying to steal this from me. The great thing about this product is that you can do it in stages. The hair grows at different times and it is so nice to be able to touch up a few spots so easily. I wish I had purchased this earlier and do not think I will ever go back to shaving. It is saving me so much money on blades.posted Aug 30, 2011Link to this post
KristanGeorgiaHairThick or Coarse HairWorks GreatI'm very happy with the results I got, especially on my legs. When I shave, I can usually see were the roots are on my legs afterwards as I have dark, coarse hair on them. The results with the Light Caress were much better than shaving, I don't have what looks like the roots, and my legs are still very smooth after four days. Amazing! It worked well on my face and underarms too. So happy I got this!posted Aug 29, 2011Link to this post
NinaBest Money I've Ever Spent!!!Does what it promises. The pain is really not bad and after the first 2 minutes you become numb and don't fell it anymore and it becomes easier. I absolutely love it.posted Aug 1, 2011Link to this post
KlapletsTexasHairMedium BrownNormal HairSilent Monsteri loved this product. i have never used an epilator before, this was my first time and it was totally worth it. I always used to wax and it created a huge sticky mess all around the house. I saw the reviews of this product and thought I should give it a try, and I am really glad that I did. I was very nervous at the beginning to remove the hairs from under-arms but it was 10times less painful than waxing. I removed my hairs two weeks back and still i don't see or feel hairs growing on my skin which is a wonderful feeling. I would have given it a 5 star rating just that sometimes while using this, my skin gets stuck within the epilator. The epilator stops itself as soon as it senses the skin but still it is a little scary. It is not a big deal after you have used it for some time thou. i would still recommend it for fast and hassle free hair removal.posted Jul 28, 2011Link to this post
CherryHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairWorks Wonders!I used to pluck the hair under my arms but then I got bumps on them so I started to was but then I used tha kind of wax that came in strips and they hurt and sting at the same time. Needless to say I wanted lighter underarms so I used the wax anyways. After I waxed , my underarm seems so much lighter yet red little did I know that I burned my skin while waxing! It hurts so bad to a point that I can't even put my under arms down without it feeling burnt. In addition to that, they turned so dark and worse. There was an imprint on my underarms! But I just received this emjoi today and let me tell you I was scared of it! Because of the noise. But juts do little bit of brushing here and there and trust me it works really awesome! Some pain but make sure that you tug on your skin. After a few minutes I was used to it and my under arms were smooth. This is the first time I have used this and can't wait for further results! What are you waiting for? You must try this!posted Jul 15, 2011Link to this post
Jasmine H.United States - CaliforniaHairBlackFine or Thin HairThick or Coarse HairIt's Really Not That Painful..I was going back and forth on whether I should buy this product or not. I don't really deal that well with pain. From the reviews on here I was expecting it to hurt pretty damn bad.. but to my surprise it's a slight pinching feeling, nothing extremely uncomfortable or painful. However you do have to go over the area a few times, which I don't mind for the results I get. I love this epilator, and it will be so handy to use on my trip to Vegas. Instead of constantly having to shave, I can worry about other things! :)posted Jun 14, 2011Link to this post
MariannaCanada, OntarioPainfull A Little But Works Great!!!Yes, it is painful, but only when you do it for the first time and you have to work on large hairy areas. But to maintain a hairless situation you would only need a few strokes once a week and the pain is bearable moreover it's done in minutes. I would reccomend it!posted May 31, 2011Link to this post
Camille B.Dont Get ThisIt would not work with out being plugged in and after one month it would not work at all!!!! Do not get this hair remover, it rips the skin and did not even get out all the hairs :(posted May 26, 2011Link to this post

Add me to the list of disappointed folks. Got this as a Christmas gift for my niece, who for some unknown reason decided to memorize this poem. I almost can't give this to her, the quality is so horrible. I've gotten many Woot shirts in the past and this is the only one I wish I hadn't bought.
I agree with the last few folks. The text is almost just as dark as the shirt and it is very hard to see.
I agree that the text is difficult to read at times and it would be great if woot fixed the issue of print/shirt color. However, do you wear your shirts for you or for someone else? If you know it is there and what is says, what does it matter?
I wear t-shirts for myself AND for others. When I look at other people's shirts, it tells me something about them - their sense of humor, their taste in art, their politics, etc. Certainly people, should they look at what I wear, can come to some conclusions about me. So yes, it does matter.

This shirt tells the world: There might be something on my shirt, there might not, what do you think?

I think you have missed your calling if you are not in Marketing. Bravo!
Debating whether bleaching the shirt would help with the contrast issue. Has anyone had any luck? Also thought about using a Clorox bleach pen to outline the raven.
I was SO excited for this shirt. I had my eye on it literally for years. When I finally got around to ordering it, I was waiting not-very-patiently for it to come. Then it arrived and I immediately threw it in the wash. I guess I didn't get a good look at it before I did so, because now I CAN'T READ THE WORDS AT ALL. The shirt is so dark and the text is half a shade darker, so I might as well be wearing a solid grey shirt. Woot, you have seriously disappointed me.
Will also agree with these comment that the short is very difficult to read -- the shirt color is too dark for the black text -- and to be sure this is a shirt the wants to be read. It's hard to even see at times the fact that the text is in the shape of a raven.
I'm new to shirt woot. I spotted this shirt and bought it for my sister as a bday gift -- my FIRST shirt from shirt woot. I'm so disappointed by it -- the shirt is such a dark gray that I can barely read the black text of the poem. I should have read the most recent comments/complaints as opposed to the oldest on page 1. That will teach me. Can I return it?
I love Poe so I got this shirt in the last wootoff, but when I got the shirt I wasn't very happy. The color of the shirt in person is way too dark. You can not even tell there is anything on it from more than about 5 feet away. The image online has a shirt that is much lighter grey. Would have been one of my favorite shirts if I could even make out the depiction.
I bought 1 to wear on my last day of work- later this year when I retire. While I don't normally like light grey, I wish the contrast was greater to make the statement stronger- I'm thinking of over stitching "nevermore" in red .
Weeks on derby is now greater than max of 8-bits unsigned. congratulations!
Funny story about this shirt. When it first came on woot I looked at it a few times trying to decide if I wanted to buy it. A few weeks later I received two in the mail. One of my friends and my dad bought them knowing I would like it. I wear one in Afghanistan when I do crossfit and the other is back home.
Narfcake wrote:They changed suppliers (from American Apparel, made in the USA to Anvil, made in Honduras or Nicaragua), so the "asphalt" shirts nowadays are actually charcoal. Here's a comparison against my old worn one ... Not that the old ones were issue free, as you can see ... the printing faded on them, so after a few washes, it too looked just a gray shirt. I'll probably end up running the new shirt through little bleach in the wash ... DIY "slate" shirt, if you will.
Well crap. I ordered this when it was new, but mine has become a bit worn out through many washes, and I've lost some weight so it's too big. I was going to order a replacement, I don't think I will now. Thanks for the info.
Where am I ?
I have always hated this shirt from the get go. I have no idea why it's so popular. Besides, who wants to wear a shirt 54,000 other people have. What are you guys going to become like Jeep owners? Nothing more annoying than driving in my friends vehicle and you are "REQUIRED" to wave at other Jeep owners? What the heck is that crap.
Happy 5th anniversary! Long live the king!
Thanks for keeping the Raven around! I think the traditional 5 year anniversary gift is wood, but here's a poem instead: Once upon an old computer, while I mused; a shirt.wooter Contemplating Text as Art and laying out my evening's chore. All that night I set to inking (as my time 'til work was shrinking) A design that I was thinking, possibly could have allure. "Will this get the votes," I wondered, "Votes sufficient to secure A derby ranking above four?" Successfully my sleep was thwarted, every stroke and line recorded PNGs had been exported, thumbnail beckoning, "See more!" On a whim I'd also placed, a poem on screen, by copy/paste And after several minutes spaced and culled the words I could ignore It couldn't hurt to upload more than one submission for a score That was all five years before...
I loved this shirt, I didn't love that it faded after about two washes. It's just a grey shirt now.
5 years is enough ... either fix the problems with the new shirt or retire it. Whoever keeps buying it ... STOP
I love your shirt on the website, the trouble is that when we received it in the mail, you can't see the Raven because it is the same color as the shirt. It looks like a light grey on the web...so the great print and all it says can't be seen on ours. We are disappointed because we love what we see on woot.
Mark my words i will be responsible for killing this shirt one day.
Finally got around to bleaching the shirt. I went with the suggestion I saw on an earlier post where they put bleach in a spray bottle. I sprayed the living daylights out of the shirt; it brought tears to my eyes, too. It is now sort of tan/mottled purple and I can read the words. I like it better.

Biz Never Sleeps (plus poster)
LP (Item 601112) Cold Chillin/Traffic, 1989 — Condition: New Copy
Biz's second LP from 1989 – what can we tell you about the Biz that you don't already know? As far as we're concerned there are a lot of MCs that could still learn a lesson or two from the Biz, and producers too! Good time mid school hip hop, with nice sample based production and a great sense of humor, that makes us nostalgic for the late 80s early 90s glory days. 13 tracks in all, with the cuts "Spring Again", "Just A Friend", "A Thing Named Kim", "The Dragon", "Things Get A Little Easier", "I Hear Music", "Biz In Harmony", "Check It Out" and more. (This remastered vinyl reissue comes with a 22"X22" poster.) © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

1997: Steve Jobs Was Wrong and Microsoft Saved Apple
Posted 13 August 2009 - 11:14 AM
No emotion at all. I am cold-blooded in everything I do. You would not like me.
Don't confuse taking a determined position and one with an emotional investment.
Posted 13 August 2009 - 12:08 PM
People pay a premium for a name assuming a popular name brand is of better quality. Customer satisfaction and reliability ratings are based on a number of variables, specs and quality are but two of those. To assume because a product has high quality and specs because it has high customer satisfaction and reliability ratings is the same as assuming they are the same because they come out of the same factory. It's not the right information to make that determination. Do I believe that at Apple produces a quality product? I think they do, but I can't prove it with out the manufacturing specs. I don't make assumptions about the quality and specs of a product based on the namebrand, price, and place of manufacture or costumer surveys as this can be very misleading.

And they would howl the loudest if those expectations were not met, believing (correctly) that they were ripped off. However, for most Mac owners, this is not the case. I have good friends who have replaced their PCs at least once in the same years I have had my current Mac. Needless to say, their total cost of ownership is far greater than mine.
So, does the Mac cost "too much"?

Suit yourself. I think it is naive not to see through the hype and FUD that Apple generates...
I see through the hype just fine. But to call hard numbers hype is ridiculous.

There are plenty of surveys out that prove that Apple's service numbers, and customer satisfaction is by far the best in the industry. Independent substantiation? Maybe not in one survey, but it's consistent across the spectrum. Look at the numbers that came out of the UK this week. 94 percent of users believe Macs are better.
That tells me that Dell uses quality enough electronic components to last easily 11 years of continuous duty. Perhaps not better than Apple, but certainly not below par either...
One person's experience is hardly a test. And the numbers show Dell is actually behind the average, with Lenovo, Asus and others making better machines. Dell's reputation is in the toilet the past years, and certainly since the last time I bought a Dell. We have one Dell workstation at work and it performs very well. But again, one example is not proof at all.
Amen to that!

That's a cheap shot, and a gross generalization to characterize a person who like Apple products as following blindly. You really need to dial back on the a priori attacks based on cliche, and old memes. To assume that someone is following blindly just because they use Apple products is a worn out old argument that goes against the trends in the three industries Apple competes in. Apple has its faults, and makes us furious at times with the choices it makes, but the problem is, everyone else is worse. Hardly a blind endorsement of Apple.

I appreciate your kind gesture on my behalf to put Wintard's post in its proper perspective. I am also aware of previous "issues" Wintard has had on this board.
For the record, my first computer was a PC I had custom built, running Windows 95. I went on to a WebTV (before Microsoft bought that company), then Oracle's New Internet Computer, and then finally a G4 iMac I bought in 2002.
Your post has given me the opportunity to get back on subject and I will now claim that I (and millions of others like me) are really the ones who "saved" Apple by buying Apple products. It really is that simple.

You're welcome. I was a big PC advocate (mind you, I used OS/2 and then NeXTSTEP for Intel, BeOS and Windows reluctantly) for years. Used Macs at work but never thought they would pull out of the doldrums. (I read Infoworld and BYTE and thought they knew what they were talking about.) When I heard OS X was coming, after having used NeXTSTEP, I knew that was the future. And it was people like you and me that saved Apple.
Microsoft certainly did not, and Steve Jobs was exactly right about it not being a zero sum game. (I wonder if the person who wrote that Steve Jobs was wrong even knows what zero sum means.) Microsoft does not have to lose for Apple to be successful. Not everyone is like Daniel Palinview in "There Will Be Blood" (based on Sinclair Lewis' book Oil) who believed that not only did he have to win, but eveyone else must lose completely.
What makes Apple stand out is beyond the comprehension of some people. They think it's how their products look. They think it's how they are marketed. But that's only the gloss. As Steve Jobs himself once said, design isn't about how a product looks, it's about how it works. Good enough is never that. Don't ask what's wrong with something, ask what's right with it.
Posted 14 August 2009 - 09:03 AM
" and Steve Jobs was exactly right about it not being a zero sum game. (I wonder if the person who wrote that Steve Jobs was wrong even knows what zero sum means.) Microsoft does not have to lose for Apple to be successful."
In an expanding market that is, at least in theory, true. (A company capable of disruptive technology could make a competitor's product obsolete, in short order. Before the iPod, there were several hundred music players. Now, you have the iPod an a relative handful with fractional market share....in a much larger market than 10 years ago.) In a static or contracting market, most assuredly there will be winners and losers.
"What makes Apple stand out is beyond the comprehension of some people. "
Because it is largely an intangible, something some have described as the user experience. They are right, because what Apple products do, that few from any other company can, is perfectly mesh the machine with the human, so that the machine becomes an extension of the human. Good design is fine, the technical capabilities may be awesome, but it comes down to how it feels.
My iMac feels like it was made just for me. I suspect you have had the same reaction.

"Its followers are unshakeable. They are besotted. They have discovered enchantment, and even a whiff of moral purpose, in a device for organizing and transmitting data. There have been infatuations with consumer equipment in the past: people were loyal to certain automobile manufacturers, occasionally to the point of fanaticism, and high-fidelity fanatics of the 1950s drove their friends crazy by demonstrating the sonic range of their equipment. But these passions never approached the levels of commitment and anger we can find in the world of Apple. Devotion to Apple is unprecedented in the history of technology."
Posted 14 August 2009 - 11:58 AM
"We who are not Apple devotees can only look upon them with wonder and awe as they mourn their beloved corporation in the days of its dying. We may sympathize with the grief they feel over the huge losses, sinking market share, and major layoffs at Apple Computer Inc. "
The only problem is that it is now a full dozen years later, and Apple is the most widely respected brand in the world, with a fortune in the bank and products that are envied by the competition.
As for Microsoft, "Microsoft DOS system used in PCs is Protestant, even Calvinistic. "It allows free interpretation of scripture, demands difficult personal decisions...and takes for granted the idea that not all can reach salvation." "
It was true a dozen years ago and it is more true now. Vista was the sort of thing one finds in Hell.
If you want true salvation and eternal bliss, go to an Apple Store.

Jobs is known for ignoring iPhone producers (directly) in China that are dying from poison - did you miss that news item?
Jobs is known for being the worst employer known on this planet - according to his own employees - did you miss that fact?
Jobs was a control-freak - did you miss that fact?
Did you miss that Apple was bankrupt, and Bill Gates stepped-in and bailed Apple out? Jobs crucified Apple.
Apple is trash - based on conning imbeciles into believing that they are joining a cult.
Cults are born from a need from susceptible people who have key parts missing from their lives.
Remember this: Apple promised the Earth and failed - Android only aimed for it - and is very nearly there.
Posted 17 October 2011 - 05:11 PM
What makes Apple stand-out is indeed beyond the comprehension of some people - typically - Apple fan-boys.
Marketing - all about gloss? It's 'how it works'?
You mean - when Jobs tells you to do EVERYTHING - as he tells you, with software that he allows, on networks that he allows - is 'the way'?
When your battery fails - you MUST send the whole kit away for a battery change?
When you get a virus - you didn't really - it DOES NOT EXIST - it was ALL in your imagination (which you believe, because you are in the Apple 'cult').
When I want a music track I download it - from anywhere - in ANY format - on ANY network or Wifi or Bluetooth connection.
Can you do that? Whoops - no - Jobs forbade it - you gotta be connected back at home to BiTunes.
You got a mobile or land line ffs? I really can't differentiate the iPhone from a land-line.
And still, you believe?
Yep - you're an Apple fanatic - even when it goes to 4% like the Mac - you'll still live your life out believing it's gonna be 'big' - lmao.
What a waste of life. tut-tut.

A new study from neurologists at UCLA adds to the growing scientific evidence showing an ever stronger link between exposure to pesticides and development of Parkinson's disease.
This latest study documents how the fungicide benomyl triggers a cascade of events at the cellular level that increase the likelihood of developing Parkinson's. The researchers say the findings clarify the role of naturally occurring enzymes in the brain, and may help in efforts to slow progression of the disease — even among those not exposed to pesticides. The study also confirms that avoiding pesticide exposure can only help.
Children living near banana farms in Costa Rica face widespread exposure to the neurotoxic pesticide chlorpyrifos — at levels EPA would consider unsafe.
In a study measuring a chlorpyrifos biomarker in children's bodies, researchers found that nearly 100% of the samples exceeded the EPA safety limits set with children's safety in mind. Urine samples were taken from kids living near banana plantations or plantain farms in the Talamanca region.
New Year's Eve proved disastrous for farmers, consumers and the environment. That was the day Congress kicked the Farm Bill can down the road, failing to pass a new five-year law with much needed reforms and improvements — or even the reasonable short-term extension that was on the table.
Instead, legislators passed an awful nine-month extension as part of the "fiscal cliff" bargain. The bill includes no reform of huge payments to the big commodity crops, no disaster assistance and no extension of funding for a range of important programs — from farmers markets to rural micro-enterprise to organic research. The silver lining? We now have nine months to push for a decent Farm Bill that keeps what's working and reforms what's broken. We're rolling up our sleeves.
A word that comes up over and over in our work is community. I've been reflecting on various physical and virtual communities here at PAN, and the ways in which our lives and aspirations are woven together around our shared goals.
Looking at PAN's accomplishments over the past year, I'm feeling deeply grateful to each and every person in these communities — including you. Be they a handful of people or hundreds of thousands with common concerns, these overlapping communities provide the inspiration and the muscle we need to transform corporate and government systems.
The adage "we are what we eat" supports food and nutrition education programs across the country. The same goes for the farm — production of an abundant diversity of healthy crops depends on healthy soil and crop management techniques.
Farmers aren't born knowing how to do this, they learn. They learn from each other, and through programs like USDA's new soil health initiative. This is why we're working hard to make sure the next Farm Bill is a strong one that supports innovative farmer education.

Cinnamon Apples To Go
It's a sight to behold, for sure. What I didn't expect were the eating challenges this toothless wonder would send my way.
Oh, my boy's a great eater. Of course he is! He's my first born! The one I hold to All The Parenting Rules With 98 Kinds Of Strictness!
So it kinda surprised me when he started whining at the dinner table about not being able to eat his apple. After a good minute or two into my "why-in-the-world-not" speech, he finally snarked back to me: "Umm, Mom? My teeth?"
I'm not a smart man, Jenny.
So because of him and his one good tooth, I cut my apples, still peel and all, in manageable, thin slices. Lemmeetellya, he and his underlings let me know when I've cut a piece too thick.
The problem that always bugged me was that when I'd pack our lunch for an outing, apples were off the list. First there was the no-one-would-eat-the-peel issues, then the slices-are-too-big issues, followed closely by the toothless-old-man-in-the-making issue, not to mention the apples-are-already-cut-so-they're-rotting-and-gross issue. I didn't want to haul the useless apple slicer, and goodness knows I'd not be caught dead with a knife in my purse. THAT would not go over well with the adoption officials.
Oh, I know. I could do the whole "lemon juice" treatment. But how yummy is that?
I ran across a recipe the other day that keeps sliced apples fresh, and turns a packed lunch into fun at the same time.
And now I just realized that I could have typed the previous sentence, AND THAT SENTENCE ONLY, and this post would have been complete. AND A TEENY BIT SNAPPIER.
Maybe this little concoction will breathe a little life into your lunches. Even for the little-old-men-with-no-teeth.
Cinnamon Apples To Go
1 apple, any variety
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Walnuts, optional (hello, omega 3's!)
Thinly slice an apple, peel and all. Place slices in a container with a lid, and sprinkle the mixture of cinnamon and sugar over the apples. Shake the closed container until the apples are coated. Add walnuts if desired, and then pack your apples to go!

NYSASBO requests one-year moratorium on resetting interest rate for building aid
ALBANY — The New York State Association of School Business Officials (NYSASBO) has called upon the Legislature to place a one year moratorium on resetting the interest rate used to calculate building aid for capital projects, officials said this week.
Legislation signed into law in 2001 (Chapter 383) requires the State Education Department to reset the interest rate used to calculate Building Aid payments to school districts at least once every ten years. As a result of resetting the interest rate, 558 school districts will lose $34.5 million retroactively for the current 2012-13 school year and $33.8 million during the upcoming 2013-2014 school year.
"These cuts are widespread and come on top of recent news of federal sequester cuts to our schools already reeling from state imposed caps on their state aid and local revenue," stated Michael J. Borges, NYSASBO Executive Director.
"We urge the Legislature to include language in the state budget that places at least a one year moratorium on resetting the interest rates for calculating Building Aid so these cuts will not be applied retroactively and give school districts the time to plan for these reductions going forward," continued Mr. Borges.
A list of impacted school districts and amounts can be found at: https://stateaid.nysed.gov/build/html_docs/interest_rate_recalibration_feb2013.htm

Glass vs. Plastic Baby Bottles
Decades ago, the only baby bottles available to parents were made of glass. But glass was heavy and, more importantly, breakable. So when plastic bottles came along that were lighter and shatter-proof, the glass bottle became almost obsolete.
However, recent reports that a type of plastic found in baby bottles might cause potentially harmful changes in developing babies has left parents wondering if perhaps old-fashioned glass wasn't such a bad thing after all.
Which is safer, glass or plastic? Here is some background on baby bottles plus some tips on how to choose -- and use -- bottles safely and effectively.
Baby Bottle Worries
The problem with glass bottles is pretty obvious -- drop one on the floor in the middle of a late-night feeding, and you'll have a roomful of shattered glass to clean up. Glass is also heavy and cumbersome. On the upside, glass bottles are sturdy, and they don't contain any chemicals that could potentially get into the baby's formula.
Plastic baby bottles are lightweight, strong, and unbreakable. However, concerns have arisen about the polycarbonate type of plastic bottles because they contain a chemical called bisphenol A (also called BPA). Bisphenol A is also used in everything from compact discs to the lining of cans, as well as other consumer products. A 2007 report by the organization Environment California showed that when heated, five popular brands of BPA-containing plastic baby bottles leached high levels of bisphenol A.
In studies of lab rats, low levels of BPA were linked to changes in the brain and reproductive system that researchers say may contribute to an increased risk of prostate and breast cancers, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, and early puberty.
Before you panic, know that government health officials don't believe that the amount of BPA in baby bottles and other consumer products is dangerous. After reviewing research on the plastic, the FDA stated that based on its ongoing review it believes the amounts of bisphenol A that find their way into food and drinks are too low to cause any real health effects in humans. However, the agency is continuing to look into the question of BPA safety, and for now, the issue remains unresolved.
Choosing a Baby Bottle
There are essentially three types of baby bottles: plastic, plastic with disposable liners, and glass.
Although the jury is still out on bisphenol A, if you want to avoid any bottles that contain it, look for the #7 recycling symbol or "PC" on the bottom. That's usually a sign that the bottle contains BPA. However, not all plastics labeled with #7 recycling code contain BPA. Some bottle brands, such as Born Free, explicitly say that their products are not made of Bisphenol A.
The six major U.S. manufacturers of baby bottles and infant feeding cups have confirmed to the FDA that as of January 2009, they have not manufactured these products using BPA for the U.S. market. These manufacturers represent more than 90% of the U.S. market. These manufacturers produce brands that include Avent, Doctor Brown's Natural Flow, Evenflow, First Essentials, Gerber, Munchkin, Nuk, and Playtex.

NAACP Youth Council members from throughout the region will showcase their knowledge and talents this weekend in the annual ACT-SO competition.
"The Scotland County NAACP's Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics is a yearlong achievement program designed to recruit, stimulate, and encourage high academic and cultural achievement among high school students," said Rena McNeill, coordinator of the Scotland County NAACP youth council.
ACT-SO will begin at 3 p.m. on Sunday in Avinger Auditorium on the campus of St. Andrews University. As few such competitions are held in North Carolina, local youth will be scored against members of other NAACP youth councils in 26 visual and performing arts, math, science, and humanities categories.
All competition winners will be eligible to compete at the national competition in Orlando, Fla. in July. Winners at the national level are awarded with college scholarships.
On Sunday evening, the youth council will hold its annual 30th annual Image Awards banquet in recognition of adults that contribute to youth achievement in the community. The awards will be held at 6 p.m. at The Highlands.
Brandi Jones-Bullock, a Durham resident, will be the guest speaker, relating her experiences working to break down the "school-to-prison pipeline."
"She's part of a team that has been looking at how a large number of kids are getting into the prison pipeline starting from school," McNeil said.
Often, rule-breaking in school can leave a blemish on student's records long after they graduate.
"I've had calls, one where a young lady did something when she was 17- she got in one fight," said McNeil. "Now she's a top student working on her master's, but when she applied to be a guardian ad-litem, they can't give it to her because of what's in her records from high school. Every time she went to apply for something, she would say she had no record because she didn't know that they had kept that."
The 20 community members to be recognized are determined by youth votes. This year's honorees include Woman of the Year Glenda Smith, Scotland Early College High School principal Joe Critcher, Youth of the Year Octavia McLean, Pastor of the Year, the Rev. Alford Dudley, and Father of the Year Walter Brown
"The kids do the recommendations for the Image Awards and we stand by it," said McNeil. "We're trying to show the strength of young people"

Burger Buns
1/4 cup warm water
3 tablespoons yeast
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 cups nondairy milk (I use soy)
2 teaspoons salt
5-6 cups flour, as needed
If you have a bread machine... combine everything in the correct order and make the dough. Otherwise,
1. Dissolve yeast in warm water. Let sit 10 minutes. Add sugar, oil, and milk to yeast mixture. Mix well. Add salt and gradually add the flour until the dough is thick enough to knead, but not too stiff.
2. Knead for 8-10 minutes, until dough reaches and elastic consistency. Let rise 15 minutes. Separate dough into 12 balls. (If you want smaller buns, make about 20). Knead/form each ball well, and place on a baking sheet about 1 1/2" apart.
3. Cover with a damp dish cloth and place in a warm spot. (An oven that was heated but has cooled quite a bit works well). Let rise 20-30 minutes, or until the edges of the buns are about 1/4'' apart. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until brown on the top. Best served warm; store in a plastic bag to keep in the moisture if keeping overnight.
I do the recipe exactly as written except add almond milk instead of soy.Still turns out great.Probably one of the best breads I've ever had.Thank you!
These will be my new go to buns! It's pretty hard where I live to find vegan bread products that don't cost an fortune! These were simple and they turned out awesome. Next time I might try them with whole wheat flour or spelt and i might spread some Earth Balance on them for a little something extra. SWEET recipe. Thanks a ton!
These turned out excellent. I did a half batch and used almond milk. It was easy enough my husband has offered to make the recipe while I am at school on Burger nights. They held up great to a good heaping pile of grilled onions and creminis.
Mmmm... really good with 100% whole wheat flour. I brushed the tops with salted veg shortening before and after baking. Perfection, even non vegans loved them :)
This recipe is AMAZING!!! Even non vegans will love this recipe. I use honey instead of sugar, but otherwise follow the recipe. This is comparable to those expensive whole wheat honey buns you buy in four packs for $4. They are soooo moist and yummy. I use them for my tofu patties, fake chicken patties, or eat them as rolls when I am making soup.
Yummy and very easy to make. I loved these so much that I just might not to go back to store bought. ;)b
OMG these are AWESOME! I expected them to be only passable. Like. I've tried to make sandwich bread and stuff from scratch and it DOES NOT WORK OUT. But, wow! I made these in lieu of vegan buns so I could have a "burger party", and instead of being crusty like normal homemade bread they were so soft and delicious. It was obvious they weren't undercooked; they were just naturally soft!
And they tasted so great on their own. The smaller buns (since I'm a retard and couldn't shape them all to be the same size) were really yummy without any filling, and would go excellently as dinner rolls. These were truly incredible, and totally going to be a repeat recipe for me on burger night.
I'm going to use the leftover ones with some boca chicken patties tomorrow. Yum. :D
Also, I didn't have soymilk, so I used half almond milk, half water (my almond milk is VERY sweet and I didn't want my buns to taste like a dessert). And the 3 tbsp of yeast worked fine for me. Certainly not too much, these rose just the right amount.
:)>>> WOW...can we say A-W-E-S-O-M-E?!? I used equal parts unbleached flour and whole wheat flour and added 1 tablespoon dill weed to the wet mix before adding flour. YUMMY--I won't buy bread anymore. Thanks!
I've been reading reviews about this recipe for some time and was eager to try it out. I used expired yeast (expired 11/09) and they still came out great! I opted to through everything in my KitchenAid mixer with the dough hook and used that to knead the dough. Lining the pan with parchment paper was a fantastic hint and I'm glad I did it. The tops of the buns I brushed with vegan butter and sprinkled sesame seeds over the tops before baking. I almost moved half of them to a separate baking sheet, but I'm glad I didn't. They baked up light and fluffy and were DELICIOUS! My only problem is that the sesame seeds fell off when I picked the buns up so I am going to have to figure that out another time. These were simple to make and no there is no excuse for fresh burger buns in my house!
@frasercarly89 - how long did you knead the dough?? generally you will need to knead it vigorously for at least 15 minutes to get it to be any sort of elastic, i actually mix / knead it for 15 mins, let it rest 10 minutes, then knead it another 5. You might want to hold back on adding the water too, depending on your climate the bread might not need it.
Hold back on adding what water? Were we supposed to add water? I just added soy milk....I also used my bread machine, which was kneading it for a very very long time, then it sat for about 30 mins. Maybe I should try this by hand? Did anyone else get a pasty mixture? Does it work if it is pasty? It seems like it would be lighter, so maybe next time I won't add a bunch load of flour for no reason (I use all spelt)
