One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes Grimms' fairy tale
There was once a woman who had three daughters, the eldest of whom was called One-eye, because she had only one eye in the middle of her forehead, and the second, Two-eyes, because she had two eyes like other folks, and the youngest, Three-eyes, because she had three eyes; and her third eye was also in the centre of her forehead. However, as Two-eyes saw just as other human beings did, her sisters and her mother could not endure her. They said to her, "Thou, with thy two eyes, art no better than the common people; thou dost not belong to us!" They pushed her about, and threw old clothes to her, and gave her nothing to eat but what they left, and did everything that they could to make her unhappy. It came to pass that Two-eyes had to go out into the fields and tend the goat, but she was still quite hungry, because her sisters had given her so little to eat. So she sat down on a ridge and began to weep, and so bitterly that two streams ran down from her eyes. And once when she looked up in her grief, a woman was standing beside her, who said, "Why art thou weeping, little Two-eyes?" Two-eyes answered, "Have I not reason to weep, when I have two eyes like other people, and my sisters and mother hate me for it, and push me from one corner to another, throw old clothes at me, and give me nothing to eat but the scraps they leave? To-day they have given me so little that I am still quite hungry." Then the wise woman said, "Wipe away thy tears, Two-eyes, and I will tell thee something to stop thee ever suffering from hunger again; just say to thy goat,
"Bleat, my little goat, bleat,
Cover the table with something to eat,"
and then a clean well-spread little table will stand before thee, with the most delicious food upon it of which thou mayst eat as much as thou art inclined for, and when thou hast had enough, and hast no more need of the little table, just say,
"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray,
And take the table quite away,"
and then it will vanish again from thy sight." Hereupon the wise woman departed. But Two-eyes thought, "I must instantly make a trial, and see if what she said is true, for I am far too hungry," and she said,
"Bleat, my little goat, bleat,
Cover the table with something to eat,"
and scarcely had she spoken the words than a little table, covered with a white cloth, was standing there, and on it was a plate with a knife and fork, and a silver spoon; and the most delicious food was there also, warm and smoking as if it had just come out of the kitchen. Then Two-eyes said the shortest prayer she knew, "Lord God, be with us always, Amen," and helped herself to some food, and enjoyed it. And when she was satisfied, she said, as the wise woman had taught her,
"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray,
And take the table quite away,"
and immediately the little table and everything on it was gone again. "That is a delightful way of keeping house!" thought Two-eyes, and was quite glad and happy.
In the evening, when she went home with her goat, she found a small earthenware dish with some food, which her sisters had set ready for her, but she did not touch it. Next day she again went out with her goat, and left the few bits of broken bread which had been handed to her, lying untouched. The first and second time that she did this, her sisters did not remark it at all, but as it happened every time, they did observe it, and said, "There is something wrong about Two-eyes, she always leaves her food untasted, and she used to eat up everything that was given her; she must have discovered other ways of getting food." In order that they might learn the truth, they resolved to send One-eye with Two-eyes when she went to drive her goat to the pasture, to observe what Two-eyes did when she was there, and whether any one brought her anything to eat and drink. So when Two-eyes set out the next time, One-eye went to her and said, "I will go with you to the pasture, and see that the goat is well taken care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-eyes knew what was in One-eye's mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "Come, One-eye, we will sit down, and I will sing something to you." One-eye sat down and was tired with the unaccustomed walk and the heat of the sun, and Two-eyes sang constantly,
"One eye, wakest thou?
One eye, sleepest thou?
until One-eye shut her one eye, and fell asleep, and as soon as Two-eyes saw that One-eye was fast asleep, and could discover nothing, she said,
"Bleat, my little goat, bleat,
Cover the table with something to eat,"
and seated herself at her table, and ate and drank until she was satisfied, and then she again cried,
"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray,
And take the table quite away,"
and in an instant all was gone. Two-eyes now awakened One-eye, and said, "One-eye, you want to take care of the goat, and go to sleep while you are doing it, and in the meantime the goat might run all over the world. Come, let us go home again." So they went home, and again Two-eyes let her little dish stand untouched, and One-eye could not tell her mother why she would not eat it, and to excuse herself said, "I fell asleep when I was out."
Next day the mother said to Three-eyes, "This time thou shalt go and observe if Two-eyes eats anything when she is out, and if any one fetches her food and drink, for she must eat and drink in secret." So Three-eyes went to Two-eyes, and said, "I will go with you and see if the goat is taken proper care of, and driven where there is food." But Two-eyes knew what was in Three-eyes' mind, and drove the goat into high grass and said, "We will sit down, and I will sing something to you, Three-eyes." Three-eyes sat down and was tired with the walk and with the heat of the sun, and Two-eyes began the same song as before, and sang,
"Three eyes, are you waking?"
but then, instead of singing,
"Three eyes, are you sleeping?"
as she ought to have done, she thoughtlessly sang,
"Two eyes, are you sleeping?"
and sang all the time,
"Three eyes, are you waking?
Two eyes, are you sleeping?"
Then two of the eyes which Three-eyes had, shut and fell asleep, but the third, as it had not been named in the song, did not sleep. It is true that Three-eyes shut it, but only in her cunning, to pretend it was asleep too, but it blinked, and could see everything very well. And when Two-eyes thought that Three-eyes was fast asleep, she used her little charm,
"Bleat, my little goat, bleat,
Cover the table with something to eat,"
and ate and drank as much as her heart desired, and then ordered the table to go away again,
"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray,
And take the table quite away,"
and Three-eyes had seen everything. Then Two-eyes came to her, waked her and said, "Have you been asleep, Three-eyes? You are a good care-taker! Come, we will go home." And when they got home, Two-eyes again did not eat, and Three-eyes said to the mother, "Now, I know why that high-minded thing there does not eat. When she is out, she says to the goat,
"Bleat, my little goat, bleat,
Cover the table with something to eat,"
and then a little table appears before her covered with the best of food, much better than any we have here, and when she has eaten all she wants, she says,
"Bleat, bleat, my little goat, I pray,
And take the table quite away,"
and all disappears. I watched everything closely. She put two of my eyes to sleep by using a certain form of words, but luckily the one in my forehead kept awake." Then the envious mother cried, "Dost thou want to fare better than we do? The desire shall pass away," and she fetched a butcher's knife, and thrust it into the heart of the goat, which fell down dead.
When Two-eyes saw that, she went out full of trouble, seated herself on the ridge of grass at the edge of the field, and wept bitter tears. Suddenly the wise woman once more stood by her side, and said, "Two-eyes, why art thou weeping?" "Have I not reason to weep?" she answered. "The goat which covered the table for me every day when I spoke your charm, has been killed by my mother, and now I shall again have to bear hunger and want." The wise woman said, "Two-eyes, I will give thee a piece of good advice; ask thy sisters to give thee the entrails of the slaughtered goat, and bury them in the ground in front of the house, and thy fortune will be made." Then she vanished, and Two-eyes went home and said to her sisters, "Dear sisters, do give me some part of my goat; I don't wish for what is good, but give me the entrails." Then they laughed and said, "If that's all you want, you can have it." So Two-eyes took the entrails and buried them quietly in the evening, in front of the house-door, as the wise woman had counselled her to do.
Next morning, when they all awoke, and went to the house-door, there stood a strangely magnificent tree with leaves of silver, and fruit of gold hanging among them, so that in all the wide world there was nothing more beautiful or precious. They did not know how the tree could have come there during the night, but Two-eyes saw that it had grown up out of the entrails of the goat, for it was standing on the exact spot where she had buried them. Then the mother said to One-eye, "Climb up, my child, and gather some of the fruit of the tree for us." One-eye climbed up, but when she was about to get hold of one of the golden apples, the branch escaped from her hands, and that happened each time, so that she could not pluck a single apple, let her do what she might. Then said the mother, "Three-eyes, do you climb up; you with your three eyes can look about you better than One-eye." One-eye slipped down, and Three-eyes climbed up. Three-eyes was not more skilful, and might search as she liked, but the golden apples always escaped her. At length the mother grew impatient, and climbed up herself, but could get hold of the fruit no better than One-eye and Three-eyes, for she always clutched empty air. Then said Two-eyes, "I will just go up, perhaps I may succeed better." The sisters cried, "You indeed, with your two eyes, what can you do?" But Two-eyes climbed up, and the golden apples did get out of her way, but came into her hand of their own accord, so that she could pluck them one after the other, and brought a whole apronful down with her. The mother took them away from her, and instead of treating poor Two-eyes any better for this, she and One-eye and Three-eyes were only envious, because Two-eyes alone had been able to get the fruit, and they treated her still more cruelly.
It so befell that once when they were all standing together by the tree, a young knight came up. "Quick, Two-eyes," cried the two sisters, "creep under this, and don't disgrace us!" and with all speed they turned an empty barrel which was standing close by the tree over poor Two-eyes, and they pushed the golden apples which she had been gathering, under it too. When the knight came nearer he was a handsome lord, who stopped and admired the magnificent gold and silver tree, and said to the two sisters, "To whom does this fine tree belong? Any one who would bestow one branch of it on me might in return for it ask whatsoever he desired." Then One-eye and Three-eyes replied that the tree belonged to them, and that they would give him a branch. They both took great trouble, but they were not able to do it, for the branches and fruit both moved away from them every time. Then said the knight, "It is very strange that the tree should belong to you, and that you should still not be able to break a piece off." They again asserted that the tree was their property. Whilst they were saying so, Two-eyes rolled out a couple of golden apples from under the barrel to the feet of the knight, for she was vexed with One-eye and Three-eyes, for not speaking the truth. When the knight saw the apples he was astonished, and asked where they came from. One-eye and Three-eyes answered that they had another sister, who was not allowed to show herself, for she had only two eyes like any common person. The knight, however, desired to see her, and cried, "Two-eyes, come forth." Then Two-eyes, quite comforted, came from beneath the barrel, and the knight was surprised at her great beauty, and said, "Thou, Two-eyes, canst certainly break off a branch from the tree for me." "Yes," replied Two-eyes, "that I certainly shall be able to do, for the tree belongs to me." And she climbed up, and with the greatest ease broke off a branch with beautiful silver leaves and golden fruit, and gave it to the knight. Then said the knight, "Two-eyes, what shall I give thee for it?" "Alas!" answered Two-eyes, "I suffer from hunger and thirst, grief and want, from early morning till late night; if you would take me with you, and deliver me from these things, I should be happy." So the knight lifted Two-eyes on to his horse, and took her home with him to his father's castle, and there he gave her beautiful clothes, and meat and drink to her heart's content, and as he loved her so much he married her, and the wedding was solemnized with great rejoicing. When Two-eyes was thus carried away by the handsome knight, her two sisters grudged her good fortune in downright earnest. "The wonderful tree, however, still remains with us," thought they, "and even if we can gather no fruit from it, still every one will stand still and look at it, and come to us and admire it. Who knows what good things may be in store for us?" But next morning, the tree had vanished, and all their hopes were at an end. And when Two-eyes looked out of the window of her own little room, to her great delight it was standing in front of it, and so it had followed her.
Two-eyes lived a long time in happiness. Once two poor women came to her in her castle, and begged for alms. She looked in their faces, and recognized her sisters, One-eye, and Three-eyes, who had fallen into such poverty that they had to wander about and beg their bread from door to door. Two-eyes, however, made them welcome, and was kind to them, and took care of them, so that they both with all their hearts repented the evil that they had done their sister in their youth.

You may have seen the dramatic images over the weekend: a luxury liner that ran aground off the coast of Italy and then turned on its side. At least six people died. And of the 4,200 people on board, more than a dozen are still unaccounted for. Rough weather today has forced officials to suspend rescue operations, and the focus now is on the captain, who is under arrest. NPR's Sylvia Poggioli reports.
SYLVIA POGGIOLI, BYLINE: Investigators are already analyzing the ship's black box to determine how and why the Costa Concordia veered off course and collided with a rocky reef close to the shore of Giglio Island. But they'll be further assisted by a wealth of documentation provided by passengers themselves - the many videos they shot on mobile phones. This clip comes from Ronald Patricio Gonzales of Chile.
The video shows hundreds of passengers wearing life vests crowded on the deck. The atmosphere is confused, people shouting, terrified; nobody has told them what to do.
POGGIOLI: The scene shifts outdoors, chaos and relief as island residents come out on their boats to rescue passengers. Claudio Masia later told us the ship had tilted so much, it was no longer possible to lower the lifeboats.
CLAUDIO MASIA: (Through translator) We were left to our own devices. We huddled on the keel, waiting, then we lowered a rope ladder. People came in their boats and rescued us - my mother, two children, my wife, and my nephew. But I can't find my father. I don't know where he is.
POGGIOLI: The body of 86-year-old Giovanni Masia, wearing a life vest, was found by divers Sunday afternoon in a submerged part of the ship.
The Costa Concordia shipwreck is a tale of the courage of many and the cowardice of one - the man in charge. Captain Francesco Schettino was already on shore hours before the last passengers were rescued from the tilting ship. Coast guard officials repeatedly ordered him back on board but he refused. He's now under arrest on suspicion of multiple manslaughter, shipwreck, tampering with evidence, and abandoning ship.
The shipping company issued a statement saying it appears the captain made errors in judgment. Francesco Verusio is the prosecutor heading the investigation.
FRANCESCO VERUSIO: (Through translator) It was a hazardous maneuver. He got too close to the island, some 150 yards from the coast. The captain gave the alarm around 10:42 p.m., one hour after the collision.
POGGIOLI: Verusio adds bringing the ship so close to Giglio was part of a maritime practice - a fly-by with the sounding of sirens, a salute to show off the brightly-lit luxury liner to the islanders.
The shipwreck took place in a stretch of the Mediterranean said to be the biggest designated marine park in Europe. The rocky reefs are a scuba diver's paradise, a natural habitat of dolphins, and a protected area for many fish species. Now there is fear of an environmental disaster. Officials say so far none of the shipâs fuel has leaked.
A Dutch firm has been called in to help extract the fuel from the ship's tanks before anything leaks into the pristine waters. Environment Minister Corrado Clini says the passage of massive luxury liners in this stretch of sea has gone on too long.
CORRADO CLINI: (Through translator) These floating condominiums, which offer thrills for tourists, are a serious danger for the environment. We have to move quickly to prevent these huge ships, which are not equipped with a double hull, from entering these delicate areas.
POGGIOLI: The minister today will attend an emergency on-site meeting with experts to assess how to remove the shipwreck as quickly and safely as possible.

Styles & Sizes
Our Bottoms….
We specialise in three bikini styles. They are shown here on a mannequin with smaller glutes; so if you have larger glutes, the bikini may appear briefer. None of our bikinis provide full coverage – they are designed to show off your buns!
1. Our Cheeky-G is a thong style with no rouching. A great addition to your summer swimwear collection. Extremely comfortable to wear, you will feel like you are wearing nothing at all 🙂
2. Our famous Micro Brazilian with the scrunch bum is more brief at the back of the pant than the brief Brazilian. This style looks great regardless if your glutes are big or small. The micro Brazilian cut even makes the mannequins buns look good! They are stretchier over the glutes giving you a bum hugging fit.
3. The Brief Brazilian features scrunch bum with tie sides. This style offers more coverage than the Micro Brazilian. Please note our bikinis don't have full coverage, all styles designed to show off your buns.
4. Our String is our minimal bikini bottom built for comfort. This bikini bottom offers minimal coverage, allowing for maximum tanning potential!

There are two forms of macular degeneration, dry (non-neovascular) or wet (neovascular). The term neovascular refers to the growth of new blood vessels.
Dry AMD (non-neovascular)
Dry AMD is the most common form of the disease, making up about 85%-90% of all cases of AMD. It is characterized by blurred central vision or blind spots, as the macula begins to deteriorate. Dry AMD is an early stage of the disease and is less severe than the wet form,.
Dry AMD occurs when the aging tissues of the macula begin to thin out and break down. Tiny pieces of white or yellowish protein called drusen begin to appear, which are thought to be deposits from the macular tissue as it deteriorates. The appearance of these drusen are often what leads to a diagnosis of AMD during an eye exam.
With dry AMD vision loss happens gradually, however, the dry form can progress to wet AMD rapidly. There is currently no cure for dry AMD, however there is research that shows that some people can benefit from supplemental vitamin therapy including antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin.
Wet AMD (neovascular)
Wet AMD is less common occurring in only about 10 percent of those with AMD. AMD is classified as Wet AMD when abnormal blood vessels begin to grow under the retina and leak fluid and blood into the macula, resulting in blind spots and a loss of central vision. Wet AMD can cause more damage to vision and permanent scarring if not treated quickly, so any sudden blur in vision should be assessed immediately, especially if one is aware that they have AMD. Usually vision loss happens faster and is more noticeable than in dry AMD so the quicker it is treated, the more vision you can preserve.

Lead poisoning is a serious problem that can lead to adverse health problems. In children, high levels of lead can cause damage to the brain and nervous system, behavioral and learning problems, slow growth, and hearing problems. In adults, lead poisoning can cause reproductive problems, high blood pressure, digestive problems, nerve disorders, memory and concentration problems, and muscle and joint pain.
Lead poisoning is especially a problem in cities with older buildings. Typically, lead is present in the paint from older buildings, in the water supply, and the environment from cars and buses. Preventing lead poisoning in large cities, where there is a such widespread possibility for exposure is both difficult and expensive. Federal programs have attempted to address this problem.
Lead poisoning is also an issue that buyers and sellers need to consider. Houses that were built before 1978 probably have paint that contains lead. Federal law requires that sellers disclose known information on lead-based paint hazards before selling a house. Sales contracts must include a federal form about lead-based paint in the building. Buyers will have up to 10 days to check for lead hazards and are likely to stipulate corrections.

Sorry to stereotype cyclists as scofflaws. I was wrong. But saying "You're wrong" makes better case than violent screeds.
— Scott Simon (@nprscottsimon) June 26, 2014
Yeah, that is what everyone was saying. I didn't see any "violent screeds." I just saw replies like this:So he might as well have pointed out that saying "You're wrong" also makes a better case than blowing bubbles in your chocolate milk. (Though I admit I did angrily blow bubbles in my own chocolate milk for a full 20 minutes after reading his initial tweet.)
Also, before apologizing he tried to defend himself with this limp noodle:
Perhaps because cyclists are so visible we see more of their infractions. Yes, we have many staffers who bike to work and-
— Scott Simon (@nprscottsimon) June 26, 2014
If we're so visible then why do drivers keep running us over because they "didn't see" us? Also, I assume he's tweeting from Washington, DC, and if he thinks cyclists are a bigger presence than drivers on the streets of our nation's capital then he'd better go back to LensCrafters and get a refund.[Also, bonus points to him for falling back on the classic "Some of my best friends are cyclists" routine.]
In other news, Bradley Wiggins is officially out of the Tour de France:
Yet David Millar will be riding it for the 13th time:
Proving once again that the worst career move you can make as a Tour de France cyclist is actually winning the thing.
And now, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right you're special, and if you're wrong you'll see a doped-up rabbit.
Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and be sure to yield to NPR hosts.

Crystal White Gold Glass Tile Backsplash Glass Black Resin Mirror Diamond Mosaic Kitchen Bathroom Tiles HYM029
Originally, mosaics were assembled from small, hand-cut pieces of stone, glass, or ceramic set in mortar to create a pattern or picture. Glass mosaics first appeared in Egypt 3,500 years ago, traveled to Greece and India, then on to the Byzantine Empire and the West. Their lustrous beauty was prized for its decorative impact, as shown in St. Mark's Basilica in Venice.
From a design perspective, glass mosaic tiles provide wonderful opportunities to play with color, whether subdued neutrals or bold brights. They show off plenty of special effects, too, from "hammered" metallics to matte sea glass to textural treatments that mimic variegated stone or woven fabric. Glass mosaic tiles offer so much variety today, you can really put your own stamp on a room.

Building rapport with customers has never been easier with customer relationship management (CRM) software. You can keep track of contact information, buying preferences, and sales patterns. It's a must-have for all sales and marketing teams. If you want to know how to make the most out of your CRM, follow these tips.
Always update customer information
A CRM system is only effective when the data it provides is current. If the customer's address, company name, or preferred method of contact has changed, your staff should update the information immediately, so your sales and marketing teams are always equipped with the right information and will know how to respond accordingly.
Use purchasing history for upselling opportunities
It's easier to sell to existing customers than acquiring new ones. With your CRM, you can boost your sales performance by analyzing your existing clients' purchasing history and designing promotions or events just for them. For example, if they recently purchased a razor from your online store, you can program your CRM to recommend related products like shaving cream or aftershave. Not only does this widen your profit margins, but it also makes your customers' lives a lot easier and promotes repeat business.
Automate your processes
Since many of the tasks associated with data entry can be automated, take advantage of the workflow automation features in CRM apps to eliminate time-consuming and repetitive functions. For instance, when new leads are added to your CRM (via newsletter subscriptions or website visits), you can program your CRM to send follow-up emails, offer promotions, and push other marketing efforts to keep your business at the forefront of their attention and to help them remember your brand. This saves you from writing the same canned responses while also making sure that you're engaging your clients throughout the entire sales process.
Learn from analytics
CRM can analyze customer trends and behavior. If you notice a spike in demand for certain products and services during the holidays, be more aggressive in pushing them out the next year. If certain email campaigns were more successful than others (e.g., higher open rates, click-through-rates, and potential customers), understand what elements were responsible for that success, and try to replicate them the next time you send a newsletter.
Customer data should also be used to shape sales and marketing tactics. A salesperson that already knows the client's name, location, and preferences can deliver more targeted sales pitches and has a better chance of closing a deal. The point is this: If you're not learning from your data, your business growth will be limited.
Integrate CRM with other business software
Incorporating CRM software to other programs makes it even more powerful. Integration with accounting software combines customer and financial data, eliminating redundant manual data entries and providing more insightful reports. When used alongside a VoIP system, your staff will get relevant customer information from multiple databases displayed on one screen when they're about to make a call.
Get some CRM support
Work with a CRM provider that offers 24/7 support. Ideally, your provider should keep your data safe, update your software regularly, and advise you on how to use complex CRM features.
This may seem like a lot but remember: like every technology investment, CRM requires active participation from executives, managers, and frontline staff. If you need more advice on keeping customers happy or want to know what technologies can add value to your business, call us today.

Furnaces are part of heating systems where the combustion of fossil fuels takes place, and the transfer of heat occurs and are powered using either oil and gas. In this article, we will be looking at what gas furnaces are and the top brands you should consider going for when thinking of having a furnace installed in your home.
What Is A Gas Furnace?
Gas furnaces are the heating components used in a majority of heating systems used in areas with cold weather climates and work by converting gas to heat. The main and most basic components of a gas furnace include a heat exchanger, a blower, burners and controls. However, considering that there are different makes and brands in the market, some furnaces could possess extra features; but at the end of the day, each one serves the same purpose – and that is heating a home or space.

As such, it is important that you consider the different gas furnace brands in the market and comparing all available options to find one that will suit your needs.

Junichi Takano works as the Store Manager at the Shirakiya Nakamura Denbei Store, an old store established in 1830. Mr. Takano supports Satoru Nakamura, the seventh successor who inherited the name and the store.
Along the side of the Kyoubashi River in Tokyo that is now an expressway there once was, in the Edo Period, a commercial river port called "bamboo river bank" where 50,000 to 60,000 sticks of bamboo were unloaded every day. It was also a trading hub for all sorts of materials used for daily products.
The founder of the Shirakiya Store, Toubei, began making houki brooms from bamboo and houki-morokoshi (millet), and this "Edo-bouki" (as Toubei's houki are called) has been created in the same traditional way and at the same place since.
Junichi Takano initially came in as a part time delivery boy. He was soon fascinated by the "practical beauty" of Edo-bouki and the work being done by master houki maker Seiichi Takagi. Since then, he fell in love with making houki himself and he has now become an indispensable talent for the store.
A houki, unlike some modern disposable tools, lasts a long time.
The craftsmen, anticipating all the possible ways the houki might be used, give it lightness, firmness and pliancy. The user understands that the houki is a tool to purify a house and as he or she sweeps the tatami mat from inside to outside, he or she "collaborates" with the houki. The relationship established between the user and the tool is a further development of the relationship already established between the craftsman and the craft.
Using fine materials, expert techniques and human ingenuity, as an artist, Mr. Takano takes elaborate efforts to continue to preserve the relationship between human and tool and pass it on to the next generation.

Good eeeeevening, fellow vampires and witches! OK, I know it's only noon, but good afternoooooon doesn't sound quite creepy enough. Halloweegan is here! YAY!
It has been two years since the original Halloweegan. An emo vampire bit me last year and I was too *meh* to do anything. I am now older and rustier, and unfortunately not quite as insane as I was then, but this month will still be 100% dedicated to creepy cuteness! Because I am old and rusty, and because Vegan MoFo is going to take place in November this year, I won't be blogging every single weekday. My goal is to blog three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) but if my rustiness makes me feel too overwhelmed I will probably reduce the crazy to twice a week. But I'm aiming for full on crazy!
If you make your own Halloweegan goodies, please send me a link so I can add your creepy cuteness to the main Halloweegan page. I even made a Halloweegan flickr group that you are all more than welcome to join.
Let's do it! Let's get eeeeveeeeeel! Mwahahahaha *cough cough* mwahahahaha!
Leggy Whoopie Spiders (Gluten-Free and Soy-Free) For the whipped ganache: 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk 1 tbsp maple syrup 1 tsp vanilla 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (it's about one heaping cup) 1. Bring the coconut milk and maple syrup to a boil and immediately remove from heat. 2. Add the vanilla and the chocolate chips and whisk as if your life depended on it! The chocolate should melt completely and it should become lovely and smooth, but if it's not happening you can warm it up for a few seconds while stirring or whisking constantly. Watch it carefully, burnt chocolate is the only type of chocolate that sucks. 3. Refrigerate for a couple of hours or until it's completely cold. We will whip it later... For the cookies: 1/2 heaping cup rolled oats 1/4 heaping cup dried unsweetened coconut flakes 1/2 cup ground turbinado sugar or white sugar 2 tbsp tapioca starch 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup full fat coconut milk (at room temperature) 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter or other smooth nut butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 tsp almond extract (optional) 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. Grind the oats and the coconut in a blender or food processor. I use my Magic Bullet with the short blade base. Sift them into a medium size mixing bowl. There will be a couple of tablespoons of gritty bits left in the sifter that you will discard, which is why you will need heapingness when you measure the oats and the coconut. 3. Add the sugar, tapioca, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, coconut milk, peanut butter, vanilla, and almond extract. Beat with an electric mixer for about 30 to 45 seconds. 4. Use a medium size (1.5 tbsp) cookie Scoop to drop one cookie onto the baking sheet and watch it for a few seconds. The soft batter should barely flatten itself on top, but it shouldn't spread more than a couple of millimeters. If it spreads too much. add a little more ground coconut. If the top doesn't flatten at all add a little more coconut milk. Don't worry about over mixing these, it's OK! When you're happy with your batter, scoop the rest of it onto the baking sheet leaving a couple of inches in between cookies. 5. Bake for 12 minutes. Gingerly remove the cookies from the oven without banging the baking sheet against the oven walls or rack or they might *de-poof*. Let them sit on the sheet for five minutes. Use a thin metal spatula to transfer the cookies to a cooling rack and let them come to room temperature. To assemble the cookies: 1. When the ganache is cold and the cookies are at room temperature, use an electric mixer to whip the ganache. Beat on high for about a minute or until it looks soft and fluffy and the color changes from dark brown to a lighter brown. If it's too hard and it's refusing to whip, add a tablespoon of coconut milk. It shouldn't be too soft though, or it won't stay put between the cookies. 2. Test the ganache on a cookie: grab a cookie bottom-side-up, scoop a generous amount of whipped ganache on top, and top it with another cookie bottom-side-down. Gently press down the top cookie just a little to help the ganache spread toward the sides. If it spreads out too much and it runs down the sides of the bottom cookie, add 1 tablespoon of sifted powdered sugar plus 1/2 tablespoon of sifted unsweetened cocoa powder to the rest of the ganache and keep beating until well combined. Keep adding sugar and cocoa powder until it's firm enough. That's it! Finish the rest of the cookies and move on to the fun part - leg making! To make the legs: 1. Set up your leg making station. Print out the leg pattern and tape it to a chopping board. Tape a piece of wax paper on top of the pattern, just big enough to cover it. 2. Melt about 1/3 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chippers in the microwave in a dry glass bowl. It took my microwave 90 seconds on medium power, stirring every 30 seconds, to melt the chips completely. Transfer the melted chips to a small ziploc bag and cut the tip off one of the bottom corners. Just a small cut, no more than three millimeters. 3. Ready? Fun! Squeeze the melted chocolate out of the little opening and onto the wax paper, drawing the legs as you squeeze. I knew this would be hard for me to explain, so I made a video of my hands making the spidery legs. Instead of dragging the chocolate against the wax paper, squeeze it out from about a half an inch above the paper and let the stringy chocolate fall on it as you draw the legs. See? I told you I wouldn't be able to explain it! The video should help, it's right below the recipe :) 4. Take the whole chopping board to the freezer and let the chocolate harden for about five minutes. Remove from the freezer and gently peel off the legs using a thin metal spatula. Transfer the legs to a compulsively dry large plate. Repeat until you've made enough legs for 6 spiders. 5. Working quickly, because those legs will melt in your fingers if you dilly-dally, insert four legs into a side of one spider's creamy filling (insert the shortest tip into the filling) and four more legs into the opposite side. You'll notice that the pattern pint-out has four legs facing one way and four legs facing the opposite way, that is so that no legs look flat from the front. Are you tired of working on them or do you want to add eyes to them? You do? Awesome! Combine 1/4 cup of powdered sugar plus 1/2 tablespoon of water and stir until well combined. It should be rather stiff, but if it's crumbly you can add a few more drops of water until it complies. Use a little ziploc bag with a cut-off corner again to squeeze the little eyes onto the tops of the spiders. At this point, you probably have a little leftover chocolate from all the leg making, use a toothpick to drop a tiny drop of chocolate in the middle of each eye. Warm up the chocolate in the microwave for a few seconds (though not in the ziploc!) if it's too hard. Now we're all done! Phew! This adventure makes 6 (3 inches wide) Whoopie Spiders! :) Notes: * You can definitely use a spoon instead of a cookie scoop to drop the batter onto the the baking sheet, but the cookies won't be as round and neat. * I will most likely add more notes as I will probably remember more tips later! :) * EDIT: Yep, I remembered something else. The edges might not seem soft enough for whoopie pies, but the whipped filling softens them up. |
Can't see the video? Watch it here!
There it is! My first official Halloweegan post of 2010. I can't believe it's already here! See you guys next Monday! *POOF* (That was me magically disappearing, by the way.)

EBC manufacture the vast majority of its automotive rotors including Premium brake rotors in the UK or Europe. Outside these sources where castings or finished rotors have to be bought in to complement the range, the strictest quality controls are applied to ensure the safety and quality of the parts we sell. We source only highest quality parts from well known and proven OEM manufacturer vendors and we are responsible for and guarantee those parts to fit and perform as expected. All suppliers of castings for the EBC group are ISO approved to the highest specification and have been visited and approved by the German TUV authorities.
EBC then adds value to its products by strictest quality controls and specifications and a 100% run out and dimensional check, including element analysis, surface finish and hardness tests on every batch and runout inspection . All sport rotors are slotted and grooved at the Las Vegas facility of the USA operation or at our new Northampton rotor facility employing 32 staff which has recently been enhanced to have its own QC department, machining and testing facilities and a new Nitrotherm anti corrosion coating plant.
We also do all we can to embrace US employment and in our US facilities we employ 14 people in our rotor machining facility alone.
All EBC Premium Brake Rotors or discs are cast to a material strength of 150 N/m2 with a tightly controlled surface hardness variation less than 20 HB and are precision CNC machined to a surface tolerance of less than 0.05 mm. That is two thousandths of an inch. For this reason EBC recommends a maximum runout of fitted rotors of 0.1 mm or .004 inches (4 thousandths) TIR which means total indicator reading on a dial gauge.

Company history
Without the legendary knotter, the story of CLAAS would probably have taken a very different course. Join us on a journey through the CLAAS story, and find out how a small village blacksmith's workshop grew into one of the world's largest agricultural equipment groups.
1913 – 1929
It all started with a knot
August Claas filed his first patent application back in 1921, for a knotter device. Further patents followed, providing a much more robust and reliable tying mechanism for the straw binders that the company was now producing. The outstanding reliability of the new knotter drove a dramatic increase in demand for CLAAS straw binders. The innovative knotter device helped the recently established company to become financially secure, and laid the foundations for its future growth.
1930 – 1945
The combine harvester revolutionises the harvesting sector
Firmly convinced that the combine harvester had a bright future in the grain harvesting sector, in the years from 1930, CLAAS started working on its first harvester prototypes. In 1936, with its "mower-thresher-binder", the firm unveiled the first fully functional combine harvester, specifically designed for European grain harvesting conditions. This provided the basis for the company's transformation into one of the leading combine harvester manufacturers worldwide.
1946 – 1968
Transition to combine harvester specialist
SUPER, EUROPA and MATADOR are just some of the names that tell the story of transforming CLAAS into a combine harvester specialist. The firm was quick to recognise the trend towards ever larger farms, which was reflected in intensive design projects for the development of new, more powerful combine harvester models. Accordingly, it was in these years that the Harsewinkel-based SME grew into one of the world's leading combine harvester manufacturers.
1969 – 1988
CLAAS – the harvesting specialist
With its takeover of BAUTZ in Saulgau in 1969, CLAAS also entered the green forage harvesting equipment segment. At around the same time, it also acquired the forage harvesting expertise of the Göppingen-based SPEISER firm, which was promptly integrated into the product range of the Saulgau operation. By now, CLAAS was also manufacturing mowers, tedders, swathers and self-loading forage wagons. This meant CLAAS had successfully negotiated the transition from a combine harvester specialist to a leading player across the entire harvesting sector.
1989 – today
International growth and digitalisation
CLAAS has always been an international business. Already in the 1920s, many of its first straw binders were sold abroad, and, since the 1990s, the company has also boosted its international presence beyond Europe. New production and sales locations have been set up in India, the USA, Russia, Thailand, China and South America, for example. Another important strategic step was taken in 2003 with the acquisition of the French tractor manufacturer RENAULT AGRICULTURE. By bundling its electronic and software development activities into CLAAS E-Systems, CLAAS focused on another key sector for the future: the digitalisation of the farming sector.

Sheep Trailing Tradition Fading
Several factors impact herders moving from Point A to Point B
John O'Connell
Capital Press
Henry Etcheverry's sheep graze throughout an area of eastern Idaho the size of Rhode Island.
To access new terrain each season, the second- generation Basque sheepherder's bands walk great distances along historic livestock trails, called driveways, that often follow rural roadways and pass through towns.
The tradition, known as trailing, is as old as the West, and remains common practice in states with open spaces such as Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and California.
Nostalgic onlookers often stop to photograph the passing sheep, and in Sun Valley, Idaho, trailing is even cause for a community celebration.
As western populations continue to grow, however, trailing becomes increasingly challenging. Sheepherders must deal with busier roads, homes built on farm fields where sheep previously fed on stubble, environmental conflicts and a public with no patience for livestock.
More frequently, ranchers are choosing to avoid the hassle and paying to truck sheep across certain stretches where they once walked.
The U.S. sheep and lamb inventory — 5.34 million head, according to the USDA's January estimate — is less than one-tenth of its peak size in the 1940s.
Working with Landowners
On an early November afternoon, Etcheverry's sheep packed a corral on state land abutting the Fort Hall Indian Reservation, waiting to be loaded onto trucks.
Prior to last fall, he would spend three days walking the Pole Line Trail across the reservation, covering the 50 miles to winter grazing ground in the Big Desert west of Blackfoot.
Trailing fee increases imposed by the Shoshone- Bannock Tribes prompted the change.
"I'd be taking down at least 5,000 sheep this year at 30 cents a head per day," Etcheverry said, adding that penalties are added if sheep move too slowly.
Just before they enter the Big Desert, Etcheverry's sheep spend time grazing on alfalfa stubble in adjacent fields.
Aside from the loss of farm land, changes in farming practices have also made trailing more difficult. Etcheverry recalled Idaho sugar beet growers used to leave beet tops in fields as a prime nutrition source for his sheep. Nowadays, they disc the material into the soil.
Etcheverry's sheep remain in the Big Desert until Jan. 1, when he trails them to lambing sheds in Rupert, making several stops to graze on alfalfa stubble along the way.
He estimates his sheep now walk twothirds of the trek from their summer range, about 5 miles west of the Wyoming state line, to Rupert and are trucked for all but one-third of their return trip in the spring.
Traffic Problems Grow
Though many motorists took photographs, one man had no patience for Robert Ballard's sheep as he trailed them along a roadway near Idaho Falls on a recent morning.
"He wouldn't slow down, and I thought he was going to plow through them," said Ball, who walks sheep 150 miles from Caribou National Forest summer allotments in Soda Springs to winter ground in the Big Desert. "I said, 'Just a minute,' and he opened the door and said, 'Get the damned things out of the way!'"
Though some residents may consider sheep on their roadways to be a nuisance, Idaho law protects controlled trailing of sheep or cattle on any state highway, excluding freeways. It's a law Etcheverry personally tested in a legal case that made it all the way to the Idaho Supreme Court in the late 1970s. The high court granted compensation for more than 120 of Etcheverry's yearlings that were killed when a truck failed to stop for his trailing herd.
On busy roadways, Etcheverry uses extra ranch hands.
Terreton, Idaho, ranchers Cindy and Jeff Siddoway began trucking sheep on a portion of their spring trek five years ago, due to traffic concerns.
"There's been a big increase in traffic," Cindy said. "Last spring, we had a car plow in and kill 100 head of sheep." Their switch to trucking ended an informal tradition for Newdale, Idaho, residents, who watched from front porches as the Siddoway sheep passed through town. Some even brought lemonade to the ranch hands. Siddoway bands still trail more than 100 miles in the fall.
Environmental Conflicts
Even in the open highlands of California, more producers are now trucking their sheep, said Lisa Eidman, executive director with California Wool Growers Association.
Concerns about domestic sheep spreading diseases to big horn sheep have resulted in lost grazing permits — and longer trailing paths to avoid the wild animals. Many producers have opted to truck sheep instead, Eidman said.
In 2011, Montana ranchers successfully fought off proposed trailing restrictions backed by environmentalists.
Dillon, Mont., sheepherder John Helle explained the Gallatin Wildlife Association and Idaho-based Western Watersheds Project pushed the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Department to require a thorough environmental review before allowing livestock to trail through state Wildlife Management Areas. Helle, whose long-established, 60- mile livestock driveway crosses a mile and a half of a management area, said requiring a Montana Environmental Policy Act review for trailing would have also opened the door to lawsuits for failure to follow procedures.
Several Montana livestock driveways cross management areas.
In response, the sheep ranchers submitted a bill, which sailed through the state Legislature and was quickly signed by the governor. It requires only that producers notify the state before crossing through management areas.
The livestock industry's Public Lands Council is currently backing legislation at the federal level to protect trailing from National Environmental Policy Act reviews. The Grazing Improvement Act, which grants trailing of sheep or cattle a categorical exemption, passed the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on Nov. 21.
Peter Orwick, executive director of the Denver-based American Sheep industry Association, is optimistic the bill will become law in 2014. "NEPA is just a flash point for environmentalists to attack the process for their ultimate goal of removing grazing altogether," Orwick said.
Trailing in Colorado
Residential property owners throughout Colorado's Western Slope eagerly welcome Ernie Etchart and his sheep to their property when he trails through. His visits save them a fortune in property taxes. Colorado law allows land owners who allow temporary grazing to claim the agricultural property tax exemption.
"Money talks. When they're able to get a tax break, it opens up lands that would probably be closed to grazing," said Etchart, of Montrose, Colo. Like Idaho, Colorado protects the right to move livestock on public roadways.

Foods That Seem Healthy But Aren't
Advertising can be misleading. Many foods on the shelves today bear labels designed to make them appear to be a good choice for a healthy diet. These labels may contain words such as, "non-GMO, gluten-free, fat-free, all-natural, low-fat, or sugar-free." Although the labeling may be accurate, that does not necessarily mean the food is genuinely good for you. The following are some foods many people consider to be healthy when they are actually not.
Granola is promoted as a healthy source of whole grains and fiber. The truth is, many granola products are loaded with sugar and carbohydrates. They often contain high-fructose corn syrup and hydrogenated oils.
Deli Meats
Meat is a good source of protein, but deli roast beef, turkey, salami, and bologna are produced with many unhealthy additives. These include nitrates, sodium, fillers, and saturated fats. The common source of deli meats is factory farming, which means the animals were not raised organically or humanely.
Dried Fruits
Many people assume dried fruits are good for you – because it's fruit! Actually, dried pineapple, mango, and other dried fruits contain high levels of sugar. They also typically contain preservatives to keep the fruit soft and extend shelf life.
Sugar-Free Products
Sugar-free versions of candy, cookies, sodas, and other sweets can be found in most grocery stores. Many of these products contain artificial sweeteners, such as aspartame (NutraSweet or Equal). According to an article in Medical News Today, aspartame, commonly used as a sugar substitute in diet sodas, may actually lead to weight gain.
Veggie Burgers
Veggie burgers may seem like a healthy choice because it's vegetables, right? Actually, a commercial veggie burger is likely to consist of highly processed soy with preservatives added. Veggie burgers are only healthy when produced from whole foods.
Vegetable Chips
We all know we need our vegetables, but veggie chips are not the best way to get them. They may contain some beets, parsnips, or sweet potatoes, but the color usually comes from vegetable powders, and what you're eating is mostly corn flour and potato starch.
Flavored Yogurt
Probiotics are good for your gut, but it's usually best to eat plain yogurt. Fruit-flavored yogurts typically contain little fruit, and they are likely to be remarkably high in sugar.
Trail Mix
Trail mix contains nuts, seeds, and fruit, so it must be good for you. That might be true if the nuts were not coated with high-sugar flavorings and if the mix did not contain polyunsaturated oils and chocolate candy.
Having The Right Health Insurance Can Help You Stay Healthy
It is essential to eat well to stay healthy and fit. Having the right health insurance plan, so you can get the care you need when you need it, is also essential for maintaining good health. With so many available options and factors to consider, shopping for health insurance can be a complicated and confusing process. Our friendly agent will be happy to help you find an affordable health insurance plan that suits your needs.
