A new book says President Barack Obama hoped to put Osama bin Laden on trial, showing the U.S. commitment to due process under law, if the al-Qaida leader had surrendered during a U.S. raid in Pakistan last year.
In "The Finish," journalist Mark Bowden quotes the president as saying he thought he would be in a strong political position to argue in favor of giving bin Laden the full rights of a criminal defendant if bin Laden went on trial for masterminding the Sept. 11 attacks.
But Bowden says Obama expected bin Laden to go down fighting. A team of Navy SEALs raided bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan in May 2011 and killed the terrorist leader.
The Associated Press purchased a copy of "The Finish," which is due to come out Oct. 16, a few weeks before the presidential election. The revelation that Obama hoped to capture bin Laden may provide political fodder for Republicans who have criticized the Obama administration for trying to bring terrorists from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and overseas to trials in U.S. courts.
"Frankly, my belief was if we had captured him, that I would be in a pretty strong position, politically, here, to argue that displaying due process and rule of law would be our best weapon against al-Qaida, in preventing him from appearing as a martyr," Obama is quoted saying in an interview with Bowden.
Obama believed that affording terrorists "the full rights of criminal defendants would showcase America's commitment to justice for even the worst of the worst," Bowden writes.
Obama had expressed similar views as a presidential candidate.
New York congressman Peter King said he would have been "totally opposed" to a trial.
"To give him a forum and all the constitutional protections that a U.S. citizen would receive when he was clearly a war criminal is part of the defensive and apologetic attitude" of the Obama administration, the Republican said.
U.S. officials have said the Navy team was ordered to capture bin Laden if he surrendered or kill him if he threatened them. Bowden asserts that the SEALs could have taken bin Laden alive but had no intention of doing so.
In a separate account of the raid that was published last month, one member of the Navy team, Matt Bissonnette, wrote that the SEALS climbed a stairway inside the compound and opened fire when bin Laden poked his head around a doorway. Bissonnette wrote that bin Laden's hands were concealed and the SEALS presumed he was armed, so they shot him.
Bowden's extensive access to top figures, including the president and high-ranking officials in the Pentagon and CIA, may revive criticism from Republicans that the White House allegedly leaks about the raid to burnish its foreign policy record during an election year.
Bowden, known for the book "Black Hawk Down" about a 1993 U.S. military operation in Somalia, details how the White House planned the mission and explains that the specific American team was chosen because it had "already successfully conducted about a dozen secret missions inside Pakistan."
The recounting of the raid matches most previous versions. But Bowden also offers new insights in what sounds like the first-person perspective of the officer who commanded it on the ground, Adm. Bill McRaven. Scott Manning, a spokesman for the publisher, says "McRaven is not identified as a source in the book."
McRaven was able to monitor all Pakistani communications during the raid from his command post at a base in Afghanistan, according to Bowden. The account shows that Pakistani authorities were unaware of the raid as it happened, giving the Americans breathing room to fly in a backup helicopter to replace the one that had crashed while depositing the first batch of SEALs in the compound.
After McRaven told then-CIA director Leon Panetta he had a "Geronimo" call — the radio code that meant the SEALs had found bin Laden — the admiral realized he had not asked whether bin Laden was dead or had been captured.
McRaven checked again with the SEALs on the ground before relaying that bin Laden had likely been killed. But McRaven cautioned Panetta to "manage his expectations" until they had more definitive proof, by comparing his photographs with the dead man.
Later, McRaven told the president that he felt sure that they killed bin Laden but said the military needed to complete DNA analysis to be certain, Bowden writes.
The book's publication may complicate the Pentagon's attempts to punish Bissonnette for his book. Writing under the pseudonym Mark Owen, Bissonnette published "No Easy Day" without submitting it for a security review by the Pentagon. Bowden was under no such requirement to have the book vetted because he was not a government or military employee.

Mention pasta and one envisages a sturdy nonna shaping and kneading dough for fresh ravioli in a rustic kitchen. She dusts the well used kitchen countertop with flour, rolling, kneading and filling the pliable dough. However, if I were to tell you that Germans can make pretty incredible pasta too would you believe me?
Germany's answer to Italian pasta is Spätzle and it is loved throughout the country. Spätzle is just as much part of Germany's identity and cooking culture as tortellini, spaghetti and ravioli is for Italy. The region of Schwaben (Swabia) is the home of spätzle and I discovered this speciality when I first moved to Germany to live in the picturesque town of Freiburg. It was here that I discovered to let go of the clichés and relish the sights and sounds and savor the smells and taste of this incredibly versatile country.
The cuisine I discovered here surprised me. Although I had trained under German, Swiss and Austrian chefs in foreign countries, I came here, to Germany, and experienced delicious simple fare made with a modest pride that is never found in the big luxury hotels of this world.
Spätzle quickly became my favorite dish and while the traditional serving of melted cheese and sautéed onions was on the top of my list, it was discovering new flavor pairings that made indulging in a different spätzle creation every week extremely gratifying.
Spätzle is made from flour, eggs, water, and salt. Comparing it to Italian pasta, the spätzle dough is moister and softer, like a thick runny cake batter. The dough therefore cannot be rolled out as is the case with Italian pasta dough. Instead a special spätzle-press or a spätzle sieve is needed to form the spätzle noodles, which are then dropped into boiling water. The classic way to form these noodles however is to spread the dough over a wet wooden cutting-board and cut thin strips of dough with a knife, scraping the strips into boiling salt water.
My son has found the same appreciation for spätzle, surprisingly however he prefers my lighter and summery spätzle creations rather than the traditional cheese and onion one. Like this one, it makes use of simple ingredients and fuses a variety of flavors to bring a powerful and delectable dish to the dinner table.
Who said pasta was Italian business?
Printable version of recipe here
Prep Time: 45 minutes
Total Time: 60 minutes
- 400g flour
- 4 eggs
- 40g butter
- Salt and pepper
- 2 leeks, washed and sliced
- 150g bacon cubes
- 60 g sun dried tomatoes, rehydrated in warm water and sliced
- Handful sage leaves, coarsely chopped
- 100g Gruyere cheese, grated
- To make the spätze mix together flour, eggs and 100g water in a large mixing bowl. Add a pinch of salt and using your hands or a wooden spoon work the mixture until the dough resembles a pasty, sticky cake batter. Continue to work the dough and once air bubbles begin to form set aside to rest for about 10 minutes.
- Set a pot with cold water aside. Bring a large pot of salt water to a rolling boil. Press the dough through a spätzle press in portions into the water. Once the noodles begin to float to the top – approx. 2 minutes – remove with a slotted spoon and plunge into pot with cold water. Drain the noodles well. Follow this procedure until all the dough has been used up.
- Fry the bacon cubes until crispy, then remove allowing to drip any excess fat on a piece of paper towel. Sauté leek slices in the pan with the remaining bacon fat and also set aside.
- Heat up a large skillet and allow the butter to melt in it. Add the spätzle noodles a fry on low-medium heat, until they take on a light golden color. Throw in the bacon, leek and sun dried tomatoes, mixing well. Add the grated cheese and sage, giving it another quick toss. Allow the cheese to melt and incorporate well before serving.
- Serve immediately with some fresh cheese sprinkled on top and a glass of chilled Riesling.
It's a fulfilling dish in every way. Light and quick to serve, it's perfect for a weekday dinner. You can easily double the spätzle recipe above and once it is cooked, spätzle freeze brilliantly, allowing you to make a variety of other dishes.
I am slightly past the deadline for the current Monthly Mingle session. Juls of Juls Kitchen is my lovely hostess and the theme Fresh Pasta was just to good to miss up on. Even though Juls hails from beautiful Italy I wanted to show that Germans can make a mean pasta too.
I'll be celebrating my last birthday in the 30s tomorrow. The weather promises to be on its best behavior with lots of sunshine so I've invited a few friends to join Tom, Soeren and me for a bicycle excursion through Germany's wine country in the Saale-Unstrut region. We plan on tking the wine route to stop at some of the vineyards and picnic in the hills. Perfect that it's a bank holiday tomorrow and we have a lovely long weekend ahead!
See you all next week and I promise to share more Plate to Page news and pictures then.

Finding The Right Frames For Your Face
It's easy to make fun of the idea that Superman can hide his identity behind a pair of glasses.
However, anyone who wears glasses knows that they can make a major difference to the way someone's face looks. They're almost like a customizable facial feature! This is why it's so important to choose the right frames for your face when you're shopping for new glasses.
Whether you're getting new glasses because your old pair broke, your prescription is out-of-date, or you're simply looking to make a change, there will always be a few different factors to consider when selecting the perfect frames.
The Importance Of Face Shape
Everyone is different, and that includes face shape. Most faces fit into one of four main categories, although they could be a blend of two or more.
- Square: strong jawline and forehead, similar width and length
- Round: full cheeks, rounded hairline and jawline, similar width and length
- Oval: rounded hairline and jawline, greater length than width
- "Heart-shaped": wide cheeks and forehead, narrow chin
An easy way to figure out your face shape is to look in the mirror, close one eye, and (using a washable marker) draw the outline of your face. Whichever shape the outline most closely resembles is your face shape! If you're still not sure, we can help you out when you come in for your next appointment.
The Main Variables In Frame Selection
The most basic principle to follow when choosing glasses is to look for frames that will balance out the shape of your face. Putting square glasses on a square face only emphasizes the shape, but glasses that are more rounded will create a softer appearance. Likewise, rectangular glasses balance out a round face.
For more tips on matching frames to face shape, check out this short video:
[iframe https://www.youtube.com/embed/_VfLVg5f9i4?rel=0 620 349]
Size matters as much as shape. If your glasses are too large or too small, they won't be flattering. The size of the lenses should be proportionate to the size of the wearer's face. People with smaller faces will look better in smaller glasses, where people with larger faces will look better in larger glasses. That's why old glasses from high school don't look as good on adults!
Last But Not Least: Style
Vintage, modern, hipster, chic—frames come not just in many shapes and sizes, but in many styles. Matching our frames to the size and shape of our faces is all very well, but most of us are more interested in making sure our frames match our sense of fashion. That's why we give you so many to choose from at our practice!
We'll Help You Find Frames You Love!
If you need further assistance in choosing the most flattering and stylish frames, schedule an appointment and we'll help you find the best ones for you. We want to help you not only choose frames that you love, but frames that love you back! We can't wait to see how you look in your new glasses!

Consider the Blessings
Our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and will help us as we call upon Him for assistance.
My beloved brothers and sisters, this conference marks 49 years since I was sustained, on October 4, 1963, as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. Forty-nine years is a long time. In many ways, however, the time seems very short since I stood at the pulpit in the Tabernacle and gave my very first general conference address.
Much has changed since October 4, 1963. We live in a unique time in the world's history. We are blessed with so very much. And yet it is sometimes difficult to view the problems and permissiveness around us and not become discouraged. I have found that, rather than dwelling on the negative, if we will take a step back and consider the blessings in our lives, including seemingly small, sometimes overlooked blessings, we can find greater happiness.
As I have reviewed the past 49 years, I have made some discoveries. One is that countless experiences I have had were not necessarily those one would consider extraordinary. In fact, at the time they transpired, they often seemed unremarkable and even ordinary. And yet, in retrospect, they enriched and blessed lives—not the least of which was my own. I would recommend this same exercise to you—namely, that you take an inventory of your life and look specifically for the blessings, large and small, you have received.
Reinforced constantly during my own review of the years has been my knowledge that our prayers are heard and answered. We are familiar with the truth found in 2 Nephi in the Book of Mormon: "Men are, that they might have joy."1 I testify that much of that joy comes as we recognize that we can communicate with our Heavenly Father through prayer and that those prayers will be heard and answered—perhaps not how and when we expected they would be answered, but they will be answered and by a Heavenly Father who knows and loves us perfectly and who desires our happiness. Hasn't He promised us, "Be thou humble; and the Lord thy God shall lead thee by the hand, and give thee answer to thy prayers"?2
For the next few minutes allotted to me, I would like to share with you just a tiny sampling of the experiences I have had wherein prayers were heard and answered and which, in retrospect, brought blessings into my life as well as the lives of others. My daily journal, kept over all these years, has helped provide some specifics which I most likely would not otherwise be able to recount.
In early 1965, I was assigned to attend stake conferences and to hold other meetings throughout the South Pacific area. This was my first visit to that part of the world, and it was a time never to be forgotten. Much that was spiritual in nature occurred during this assignment as I met with leaders, members, and missionaries.
On the weekend of Saturday and Sunday, February 20 and 21, we were in Brisbane, Australia, to hold regular conference sessions of the Brisbane Stake. During meetings on Saturday, I was introduced to the district president from an adjoining area. As I shook his hand, I had a strong impression that I needed to speak with him and to provide counsel, and so I asked him if he would accompany me to the Sunday morning session the following day so that this could be accomplished.
Following the Sunday session, we had an opportunity to visit together. We talked of his many responsibilities as district president. As we did so, I felt impressed to offer him specific suggestions concerning missionary work and how he and his members could help the full-time missionaries in their labors in his area. I later learned that this man had been praying for guidance in this regard. To him our visit was a special witness that his prayers were heard and answered. This was a seemingly unremarkable meeting but one which I am convinced was guided by the Spirit and which made a difference in that district president's life and administration, in the lives of his members, and in the success of the missionaries there.
My brothers and sisters, the Lord's purposes are often accomplished as we pay heed to the guidance of the Spirit. I believe that the more we act upon the inspiration and impressions which come to us, the more the Lord will entrust to us His errands.
I have learned, as I have mentioned in previous messages, never to postpone a prompting. On one occasion many years ago, I was swimming laps at the old Deseret Gym in Salt Lake City when I felt the inspiration to go to the University Hospital to visit a good friend of mine who had lost the use of his lower limbs because of a malignancy and the surgery which followed. I immediately left the pool, dressed, and was soon on my way to see this good man.
When I arrived at his room, I found that it was empty. Upon inquiry I learned I would probably find him in the swimming pool area of the hospital, an area which was used for physical therapy. Such turned out to be the case. He had guided himself there in his wheelchair and was the only occupant of the room. He was on the far side of the pool, near the deep end. I called to him, and he maneuvered his wheelchair over to greet me. We had an enjoyable visit, and I accompanied him back to his hospital room, where I gave him a blessing.
I learned later from my friend that he had been utterly despondent that day and had been contemplating taking his own life. He had prayed for relief but began to feel that his prayers had gone unanswered. He went to the pool with the thought that this would be a way to end his misery—by guiding his wheelchair into the deep end of the pool. I had arrived at a critical moment, in response to what I know was inspiration from on high.
My friend was able to live many more years—years filled with happiness and gratitude. How pleased I am to have been an instrument in the Lord's hands on that critical day at the swimming pool.
On another occasion, as Sister Monson and I were driving home after visiting friends, I felt impressed that we should go into town—a drive of many miles—to pay a visit to an elderly widow who had once lived in our ward. Her name was Zella Thomas. At the time, she was a resident in a care center. That early afternoon we found her to be extremely frail but lying peacefully on her bed.
Zella had long been blind, but she recognized our voices immediately. She asked if I might give her a blessing, adding that she was prepared to die if the Lord wanted her to return home. There was a sweet, peaceful spirit in the room, and all of us knew that her remaining time in mortality would be brief. Zella took me by the hand and said that she had prayed fervently that I would come to see her and provide her a blessing. I told her that we had come because of direct inspiration from our Heavenly Father. I kissed her on the forehead, knowing that I perhaps would not again see her in mortality. Such proved to be the case, for she passed away the following day. To have been able to provide some comfort and peace to our sweet Zella was a blessing to her and to me.
The opportunity to be a blessing in the life of another often comes unexpectedly. On one extremely cold Saturday night during the winter of 1983–84, Sister Monson and I drove several miles to the mountain valley of Midway, Utah, where we have a home. The temperature that night was minus 24 degrees Fahrenheit (–31°C), and we wanted to make certain all was well at our home there. We checked and found that it was fine, so we left to return to Salt Lake City. We barely made it the few miles to the highway before our car stopped working. We were completely stranded. I have seldom, if ever, been as cold as we were that night.
Reluctantly we began walking toward the nearest town, the cars whizzing past us. Finally one car stopped, and a young man offered to help. We eventually found that the diesel fuel in our gas tank had thickened because of the cold, making it impossible for us to drive the car. This kind young man drove us back to our Midway home. I attempted to reimburse him for his services, but he graciously declined. He indicated that he was a Boy Scout and wanted to do a good turn. I identified myself to him, and he expressed his appreciation for the privilege to be of help. Assuming that he was about missionary age, I asked him if he had plans to serve a mission. He indicated he was not certain just what he wanted to do.
On the following Monday morning, I wrote a letter to this young man and thanked him for his kindness. In the letter I encouraged him to serve a full-time mission. I enclosed a copy of one of my books and underscored the chapters on missionary service.
About a week later the young man's mother telephoned and advised that her son was an outstanding young man but that because of certain influences in his life, his long-held desire to serve a mission had diminished. She indicated she and his father had fasted and prayed that his heart would be changed. They had placed his name on the prayer roll of the Provo Utah Temple. They hoped that somehow, in some way, his heart would be touched for good and he would return to his desire to fill a mission and to serve the Lord faithfully. The mother wanted me to know that she looked upon the events of that cold evening as an answer to their prayers in his behalf. I said, "I agree with you."
After several months and more communication with this young man, Sister Monson and I were overjoyed to attend his missionary farewell prior to his departure for the Canada Vancouver Mission.
Was it chance that our paths crossed on that cold December night? I do not for one moment believe so. Rather, I believe our meeting was an answer to a mother's and father's heartfelt prayers for the son they cherished.
Again, my brothers and sisters, our Heavenly Father is aware of our needs and will help us as we call upon Him for assistance. I believe that no concern of ours is too small or insignificant. The Lord is in the details of our lives.
I should like to conclude by relating one recent experience which had an impact on hundreds. It occurred at the cultural celebration for the Kansas City Temple, just five months ago. As with so much that happens in our lives, at the time it seemed to be just another experience where everything worked out. However, as I learned of the circumstances associated with the cultural celebration the evening before the temple was dedicated, I realized that the performance that night was not ordinary. Rather, it was quite remarkable.
As with all cultural events held in conjunction with temple dedications, the youth in the Kansas City Missouri Temple District had rehearsed the performance in separate groups in their own areas. The plan was that they would meet all together in the large rented municipal center on the Saturday morning of the performance so that they could learn when and where to enter, where they were to stand, how much space should be between them and the person next to them, how to exit the main floor, and so forth—many details which they would have to grasp during the day as those in charge put the various scenes together so that the final performance would be polished and professional.
There was just one major problem that day. The entire production was dependent on prerecorded segments that would be shown on the large screen known as a Jumbotron. These recorded segments were critical to the entire production. They not only tied it all together, but each televised segment would introduce the next performance. The video segments provided the framework on which the entire production depended. And the Jumbotron was not working.
Technicians worked frantically to solve the problem while the youth waited, hundreds of them, losing precious rehearsal time. The situation began to look impossible.
The writer and director of the celebration, Susan Cooper, later explained: "As we moved from plan A to B to Z, we knew that it wasn't working. … As we were looking at the schedule, we knew that it was going to be beyond us, but we knew that we had one of the greatest strengths on the floor below—3,000 youth. We needed to go down and tell [them] what was happening and draw upon their faith."3
Just an hour before the audience would begin to enter the center, 3,000 youth knelt on the floor and prayed together. They prayed that those working on the Jumbotron would be inspired to know what to do to repair it; they asked their Heavenly Father to make up for what they themselves could not do because of the shortage of time.
Said one who wrote about it afterward, "It was a prayer the youth will never forget, not because the floor was hard, but because the Spirit melted their bones."4
It was not long before one of the technicians came to tell them that the problem had been discovered and corrected. He attributed the solution to luck, but all those youth knew better.
When we entered the municipal center that evening, we had no idea of the difficulties of the day. Only later did we learn of them. What we witnessed, however, was a beautiful, polished performance—one of the best I have seen. The youth radiated a glorious, powerful spirit which was felt by all who were present. They seemed to know just where to enter, where to stand, and how to interact with all the other performers around them. When I learned that their rehearsals had been cut short and that many of the numbers had not been rehearsed by the entire group, I was astonished. No one would have known. The Lord had indeed made up the difference.
I never cease to be amazed by how the Lord can motivate and direct the length and breadth of His kingdom and yet have time to provide inspiration concerning one individual—or one cultural celebration or one Jumbotron. The fact that He can, that He does, is a testimony to me.
My brothers and sisters, the Lord is in all of our lives. He loves us. He wants to bless us. He wants us to seek His help. As He guides us and directs us and as He hears and answers our prayers, we will find the happiness here and now that He desires for us. May we be aware of His blessings in our lives, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior, amen.

Looking for Disability Insurance in Bristol?
The Radcliffe Insurance Group has got you covered!
Throughout your working lifetime, you are three times more likely to become disabled than you are to die before age 65. Makes a convincing case for having disability insurance, right?
Why then is it that people have historically been more likely to buy life insurance, not disability insurance?
The answer is simple: insurance consumers are confused by disability insurance. There are so many terms to understand that people typically give up, and end up not purchasing coverage at all.
If that sounds like you, don't worry. The team at The Radcliffe Insurance Group is here to help.
Disability Insurance is critical in ensuring that your income is protected in the event you can no longer work due to an injury or illness.
If you search the internet you'll see a ton of different results from companies and brokers claiming to offer the best policy, but it's important that you understand this type of coverage before you make a decision.
The Two different types of Disability Insurance
There are two different types of disability coverage:
Long Term Disability
Long Term Disability (LTD policies have a waiting period of several weeks to several months with a maximum benefit period ranging from a few years to the rest of your life
Short Term Disability
Short Term Disability (STD) policies have a waiting period of 0 to 14 days with a maximum benefit period of no longer than two years.
Important Disability Insurance Conditions
This means the policy cannot be canceled by the insurance company, except for nonpayment of premiums. This gives you the right to renew the policy every year without an increase in the premium or a reduction in benefits.
Guaranteed renewable
This gives you the right to renew the policy with the same benefits and not have the policy canceled by the company. However, your insurer has the right to increase your premiums as long as it does so for all other policyholders in the same rating class as you.
More things to consider
In addition to the traditional disability policies, there are several options you should consider when purchasing a policy:
- Additional purchase options
Your insurance company gives you the right to buy additional insurance at a later time. - Coordination of benefits
The amount of benefits you receive from your insurance company is dependent on other benefits you receive because of your disability. Your policy specifies a target amount you will receive from all the policies combined, so this policy will make up the difference not paid by other policies. - Cost of living adjustment (COLA)
The COLA increases your disability benefits over time based on the increased cost of living measured by the Consumer Price Index. You will pay a higher premium if you select the COLA. - Residual or partial disability rider
This provision allows you to return to work part-time, collect part of your salary and receive a partial disability payment if you are still partially disabled. - Return of premium
This provision requires the insurance company to refund part of your premium if no claims are made for a specific period of time declared in the policy. - Waiver of premium provision
This clause means that you do not have to pay premiums on the policy after you're disabled for 90 days.
If this sounds confusing, don't worry. The team at The Radcliffe Insurance Group is here to walk you through your options and make sure you get the best possible coverage for your needs and budget.

Lately I have been learning of more and more programmers who think that if they were working alone, they would be faster and would deliver more quality. Usually that feeling is attached to a feeling that they do the best programming in their team and at the end of the day the idea is quite plausible. If they ARE doing the best programming, and worked alone (and more maybe) the final result would be a better piece of software.
I know this idea would only work if you were passionate enough to work 24/7, on a deadline, with great discipline.
So after considering the idea and trying to learn a little more, I wonder if there are famous one-man-army programmers that have delivered any (useful) software in the past?

It's planting season, at least for those growing things like summer squash, beans and cherry tomatoes. And we're seeing a change. Rather than buy already developed seedlings, which are more expensive, many gardeners are buying seed packets. It's a sign they want to start their gardens from scratch. And seed companies say they've seen an increase in orders since the economic downturn.
Reporter Sasa Woodruff reports that it's easy to read the directions on these seed envelopes, the hard part is following them.
SASA WOODRUFF, BYLINE: Rectangular dirt beds of chard and kale sit along side trees filled with immature fruit, in the community garden off busy Venice Boulevard in West Los Angeles. In the middle of the garden is a classroom. And that's where Mollie Wine sits with a handful of students learning how to coax a seed into a full-grown plant. A black thumb has plagued her for a long time.
MOLLIE WINE: I've been killing tomatoes, herbs - I kill it all. This is my first time actually learning how to do it right.
WOODRUFF: At the front of the classroom, master gardener, Nancy Mills stands shaking a packet of radish seeds.
NANCY MILLS: We hear seeds. Hear them?
MILLS: But what do we know about seeds? And what do we do when we buy the packet?
WOODRUFF: Now, this may seem obvious, but Mills tells her students reading and following the instructions is key. People often get seduced by images of voluptuous tomatoes or girthy eggplants. But Mills says they forget to space and water according to the directions. Too much bright sun can shrivel the fledgling plant, but over-watering does the exact same thing.
MILLS: That means once you put the seed in the soil, it's four-to ten days before you will see the first two leaves.
WOODRUFF: Seeds are finicky creatures but they have a charm that commercially grown plants just can't produce. Also in the classroom is 27-year-old Ben Adlin. He's inspired by rarer vegetables gardeners can only find in seed catalogs.
BEN ADLIN: There's more than one type of cucumber, which is something that I feel like I've only learned since trying to buy seeds and not just going to the supermarket.
WOODRUFF: Some of those less, common varieties: German Schmorgurken, Indian yellow and Japanese climbing. Adlin has also acquired a taste for rarer bean varieties like Good Mother Stallard and Rio Zape.
ADLIN: The more boutiquey types of beans are going to set you back like 14.99 a pound at some crazy, you know, health food store. Whereas, like, you buy bean, you put it in the ground, it's kind of fun to kind of watch this dinosaur crawl out of the Earth.
WOODRUFF: A seed packet usually costs a couple dollars and yields dozens of plants. By contrast, a couple dollars gets you only one seedling. So there's an economic appeal in addition to the culinary allure. Renee Shepherd has been selling seeds through catalogs and online for more than a quarter of a century. When she started, her business focused on flowers, now vegetables make up a bigger part.
RENE SHEPHERD: I have seen in the last few years, particularly since the beginning of the Great Recession, a tremendous change in the kinds of seed we sell. In fact, we sell, 30 percent more vegetables than we did, say, five years ago.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #1: Doesn't it smell wonderful? The loam, feel the loam. It also depends on which...
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN #2: It's so soft.
WOODRUFF: Back in the community garden, students are planting radish, chard and bean seed inside a cutup milk carton. They water the soil. And even Mollie Wine with her black thumb is optimistic.
WINE: I have high hopes for this garden. Actually paying attention makes a big difference.
WOODRUFF: With a little time and patience, those seeds will take root.

The Journey
by Mary Oliver
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.

No-Bake Cheesecake Flag Cake – Let Your Fruit Flag Fly!
32 comments:
- PreludeInZ said...
Chef John, is this blog post's title a cheeky little nod to the overturning of DOMA? Or is it just a coincidence?
- June 28, 2013 at 7:40 PM
- Chef John said...
The title is an homage. ;)
- June 28, 2013 at 7:58 PM
- Unknown said...
Would the cheesecake still be firm if i used light whipping cream?
- June 29, 2013 at 12:43 AM

I rather have a baked cheesecake
really :P anyway thanks for this
awesome looking cake! Xx - June 29, 2013 at 7:02 AM

I'm going to use this recipe for a Canada Day cake! Thanks1

Chef John,
As one of the people who requested no-bake cheesecake as their foodwish, thank you!!
A while ago I tried making the no-bake cheesecake filling with just cream cheese and lemon juice, and the end result came out a bit too dense and gummy for my taste. Now I know the secret to the mousse-like quality is the whipped cream! I will definitely give this a try soon. - June 29, 2013 at 10:53 AM
That was just "ICY":P
- June 29, 2013 at 11:55 AM
- philogaia said...
Lovely homage! Though I might just go further and do a multi-colored fruit flag thing...
This recipe is just the kind of thing I've been looking for lately. Very high in fat and low in sugar. I'll probably also replace part of the sugar with stevia. I'm thinking of using some homemade creme fraiche as part of the cream cheese layer. I love the taste of fermented dairy. And I'll bet I can find an almond/coconut flour crust and add some cocoa to it. Yup, this one is going to get a go. Thanks! - June 29, 2013 at 1:28 PM
- Chef John said...
Ting, if it whips up thick then I guess you could, but I've never used it, so I don't know.
- June 29, 2013 at 9:27 PM
- Chef John said...
creme fraiche would work great as the whipped cream part, as it whips up the same, but not as a sub for the cream cheese, since it will not firm up when cold like the CC.
- June 29, 2013 at 9:29 PM
- PreludeInZ said...
Hooray, an homage! Chef John, I appreciate you :)

Chef John.
Whats the size of the casserole dish? - July 1, 2013 at 6:28 AM
- Chef John said...
It's abiut 8X12, but 9X13 would work. Just would be a little thinner.

I have work to do, but now I'd really rather be making cheesecake for Canada day! I wouldn't even have to buy multiple types of fruit!
That said, I'm with you - I definitely prefer the baked cheesecake. Why put it in the fridge when you could put it in the oven? :D - July 1, 2013 at 5:15 PM

Hey, the ingredients don't mention egg but the video I saw you put one in - use egg?

delicious! and simple... definitely a foodwish of mine that was granted. not sure why the idiot was arguing with you about this being a "simple" recipe but people like me appreciate a recipe that i can duplicate in front of company to look fancy without having to go back and look at the video a thousand times...that guy can go fork himself! i appreciate this blog, your hardwork and sincerely every single recipe of yours i try is a big hit! thanks chef :)

I've just tried this recipe. It came out awesome, I could hardly stop eating it. Thank you, your biggest fan from Romania.
PS I've tried a few other recipes from blog, they were all a hit. - July 21, 2013 at 4:33 AM
- Unknown said...
Hi Chef.
I made an approximation of this recipe and am very pleased with how it turned out.
I followed your ingredient amounts on almost everything. I deviated from the recipe by using 2 cups of heavy cream so I could add in a generous (1/2-3/4 C) of homemade Crème Fraiche, also from your blog.
My crust was made using finely ground almonds, cinnamon, brown sugar, salt and butter...my sister doesn't eat wheat gluten, so this was made to accommodate her diet. I must say, it turned very close in texture and taste to a graham cracker crust.
After being in the fridge for 24+ hours, I was amazed at how close the taste was to a traditional cheesecake. And with some cherry pie filling on top...fuhgettaboutit.
Thanks for the recipe.
Joe - October 10, 2013 at 4:02 AM
- Wren said...
This came out well. Not having to turn the oven on in the summer is always a treat. Thanks Chef John.
- July 9, 2014 at 5:42 PM
if we followed this recipe and wanted to bake it afterwards, how long and at what temperature to bake it at? do we still need to let it rest in the fridge for 3 hrs first?
- August 10, 2014 at 9:02 PM
- Chef John said...
You can bake this kind! You'd have to use a traditional recipe for that.

Steam Cleaning of Curtains in Barnsley:
Using the steam cleaning machine is only one part of the cleaning process. This consists of applying steam and cleaning afterwards with an accessory, be it a cloth, a curl cover, a brush or a rubber lip, depending on the material we want to clean. Although the steam ends up drying on its own, it is convenient to transport it with an effective portable device, since the proper use of steam can descale dirt, remove germs and odour from curtains. As with any cleaning product, not all surfaces or fabric are the same and, therefore, not all can and should not receive the same treatment. For this reason, we use a complete set of accessories in our steam cleaning machine at all times for each of the materials. Steam cleaning presents an immaculate, clean and pollutant-free curtains.

There may be some cases where the label instructions recommend dry cleaning. These are generally for curtains that have special patterns or use particular materials. Even if they don't look dirty, cleaning them regularly will go a long way toward helping your home stay clean. Most curtains are made from fabrics that attract dust, pet hair, and dander, even mould spores. Over time, these things build up and deteriorate the look of your window coverings. That build-up can also drastically affect indoor air quality. Every time the curtains are opened or closed, dust and other debris begin to spin in your house and in those cases, we dry clean the curtains with the help of our special eco-friendly solutions and vacuum cleaners.

Every patient is different and so are their eyes. This means that there need to be different types of contact lenses to suit each individual. Some patients have corneal abnormalities which mean that conventional lenses won't sit comfortably on the surface of their eyes, while others suffer from eye conditions that mean normal contact lenses won't be comfortable or could irritate their eyes.
As you may have guessed from the name, specialty contact lenses are unconventional contacts that are designed for patients that regular contacts might not be suitable. Here are some of the main types of speciality contact lenses and who they are recommended for.
Some of the patients that might benefit from specialty contact lenses include those who:
have been diagnosed with dry eye syndrome
have corneal scarring
have been diagnosed with keratoconus, a condition characterized by the bulging of the cornea
suffer from strabismus, a condition where the patient has an eye that turns in or out relative to the other
have suffered an injury to the eye
suffer from a peripheral corneal thinning disorder
are intolerant to other types of lenses
Your eye doctor or contact lens provider will be able to tell you if you need specialty contact lenses and if so, which lenses would be best based on your individual requirements.
Also known as RGP lenses, these are made from a special material that allows oxygen to pass through them and reach the surface of the eyes. This helps to keep the eyes hydrated and comfortable, making these lenses easier to wear, especially for patients who suffer from dry eyes. Dry eyes aren't just a symptom, but a very real condition, characterized by dry, stiff, and uncomfortable eyes, blurred vision, and eye fatigue. RGP lenses are more rigid than soft lenses, and this helps to keep them stable and secure on the eyes so that patients can enjoy sharper vision. They also help the cornea to maintain its shape, which helps to minimize the effects of some corneal abnormalities.
Scleral contact lenses are very different to standard contact lenses. This is because scleral lenses are much larger in diameter, with three different sizes available depending on your specific needs. This size difference means that the edges of the contact lens fall on a white part of the eye, called the sclera rather than the cornea. Scleral lenses are also different in that they vault over the surface of the cornea rather than touching it, leaving a space between the front surface of the eye and the back of the contact lens. This makes scleral lenses a good choice for patients with dry eyes and corneal abnormalities. Space can trap tear film which keeps the eyes hydrated, while space also accommodates many corneal abnormalities, such as the bulge associated with keratoconus.
Limbal contact lenses are another type of specialty lens that falls between rigid gas-permeable lenses and scleral varieties in terms of their size. Their larger overall diameter helps to increase their stability on the surface of your eyes. They also offer minimal interference with the eyelids, which helps to ensure comfort and clarity of your vision.
Hybrid contact lenses are a combination of both soft and gas-permeable contact lenses, giving patients the opportunity to enjoy the best parts of both designs. The middle part of hybrid lenses is made from gas-permeable material that lets oxygen pass through to the eyes. However, the gas-permeable part of the lens is more rigid, and this firmer center gives the lens greater stability and the patient enhanced clarity. The RGP portion of the lens also helps to trap a tear film between the cornea and the lens so that the eye remains hydrated. Meanwhile, the outer edge of hybrid lenses is a soft lens skirt. This means that patients don't have to deal with the hard edges associated with RGP lenses that may be uncomfortable. Instead, the comfort levels that patients experience are more like wearing fully soft lenses.
For more information about specialty contact lenses, don't hesitate to speak to our dedicated eye care team.

Facebook rolls out location-sharing feature
Facebook users in the US will soon be able to see which of their friends are in close proximity using a new feature the company is launching on Thursday.
Facebook users in the US will soon be able to see which of their friends are in close proximity using a new feature the company is launching on Thursday.
Called 'Nearby Friends,' the optional tool will only be available to people who choose to turn it on. The feature uses your smartphone's GPS system to tell your Facebook friends you are nearby - provided they have the feature turned on. Rather than share your exact location, it will only show that you are nearby, say, within half a mile.
If you like, you can manually share a more precise location with a specific friend you'd like to meet up with. Friends can see where you're located in a particular park, airport or city block. By default, your exact location will only be shared for an hour, although you can change this.
The Nearby Friends feature will be turned off by default, so people shouldn't expect to broadcast their location unknowingly to their Facebook friends and acquaintances. It also won't be available to users under 18, said Andrea Vaccari, product manager at Facebook who has been working on Nearby Friends for the past two years. He says the tool 'makes it easy to join your friends in the real world.' If you want to.
The feature has a lot of built-in precautions. Facebook, whose motto has long been 'move fast and break things,' is trying a different approach with Nearby Friends as it tries to avoid privacy fiascos that often bubble up when it makes changes to its service. The new motto, 'ship love,' is evident in the deliberate, cautious rollout of Nearby Friends, says Jules Polonetsky, director of the Future of Privacy Forum, an industry-backed think tank in Washington who's advised Facebook on privacy issues - including the latest feature.
He thinks Facebook is showing 'a deeper appreciation that with a billion users, any change needs to be implemented in a way that doesn't surprise the audience.' Especially when it comes to privacy, especially when it comes to location-sharing.
'Once you start bringing this to a mass audience, you need to be cautious,' Polonetsky said. 'So inadvertent oversharing is not possible.'
Of course, all the safeguards and slow rollout mean that most users won't have the feature available right away on Thursday but rather in the coming weeks and months. Initially it will go to people who are likely to appreciate it, Vaccari says, such as people who have 'checked in' to various restaurants, bars or other locations using Facebook.
Unlike with its Messenger app, Facebook isn't forcing people to use Nearby Friends. Therefore, there is a possibility it won't catch on widely. Vaccari is optimistic that it will. He joined Facebook when the company acquired Glancee, his startup service for meeting nearby people who have friends and interests in common.
Facebook's employees have been testing Nearby Friends since it's been in development, and Vaccari cites examples of the feature's assisted serendipity, like when two people landed at the airport at the same time from different flights, saw that they did through Nearby Friends and shared an Uber ride home together. Then there was the time two were out shopping alone in San Francisco and joined forces after seeing that their co-worker was nearby.
Nearby Friends, Vaccari says, is not really for the five to 10 close friends you have, the ones you feel comfortable texting or calling up to hang out. For these people, you 'don't need a product,' he says. But for the other 20, 30 or more, the ones you enjoy spending time with but wouldn't necessarily call, Nearby Friends may provide the extra push.
Nearby Friends launches amid the growing popularity of location-based mobile dating apps such as Tinder and Hinge. But unlike those apps, Facebook's feature will only let you meet up with people you are already your friends. Users who sign up will be shown a short tutorial on how the feature works. In addition to friends who are in close proximity, users can also see which of their friends are traveling, and in general which friends are using the feature even if they are not nearby.
Facebook says there are no current plans to draw advertising revenue from Nearby Friends. The company does not currently target ads to users based on location, only their listed hometown.

I'll be spending today catching up on junk at the office, and will likely return to my regularly scheduled whining on Friday.
School starts again on Monday. This year we ordered our supplies pre-packed, but I'm re-running my back-to-school shopping guide for your entertainment. Until I get caught up on my groove.
Dr. Grumpy's Guide to Life: Shopping for school supplies
Okay, so this is the 2nd edition of my helpful newsletter (If you missed the 1st one on surviving your child's birthday party, click here).
Today's issue will focus on what I discovered to be a horribly traumatic life-altering experience: Back-to-School week at OfficeStaplesMaxDepot. There's one right across the street from my office, so I go there regularly for supplies. It's quiet, the employees are generally helpful, and I know my way around it pretty well.
I naively thought this would be easy.
So on to the lesson:
1. Do NOT volunteer for this job (flip a coin, or arm wrestle, or have a duel to decide instead).
Silly me. When Mrs. Grumpy was wondering when she'd have time to get the school supplies, I volunteered. I figured "How hard can it be? Hell, it's just some pencils and a bottle of glue". DUMBASS!!! The list is HUGE, and features items from the mundane (No. 2 pencils), to the specific (Expo dry erase markers, wide tip, in blue, green, yellow, and black) to the odd (1 Pringles can with lid, original flavor, empty). It took me 2 freakin' hours!
2. Be prepared. Normally there are 5-10 other quiet business-type people in there. NOT THIS WEEK! Holy Crap! An African street bazaar is an orderly affair compared to this! Deranged parents running on caffeine! Kids running amok! Store clerks running for their lives! And all the crazed parents are trying to read off a list, push a cart, yell at kids, text, and scream into a cell phone at the same time. Bring a water bottle, food, a map, a cattle prod, and a flashlight. A card with your blood type, hospital preference, and next of kin is also a good idea.
3. Do not leave your cart unattended. People will steal your shit out of it. I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP! I had my cart 2/3 full with the crap on my list, when I left it at the end of an aisle to go find notebooks (spiral, wide-ruled, 100 pages each, single subject, 1 red, 1 blue, 1 green). When I returned 3 minutes later about half the stuff I'd already put in it was GONE! I watched a few minutes later as it happened to others. Apparently, when you walk away from your cart, people think it means they can raid it for supplies they haven't had a chance to pick up yet. "Hey, this guy has those index cards (2 sizes, lined and unlined, 100 each) that my kid needs. Cool. I'll scratch that off my list".
If another parent asks you what school your kid goes to, or who their teacher is, DO NOT ANSWER. Ignore them. Pretend you're deaf, or that you don't speak English. They are not making conversation. They are casing your cart, and if they find out your kid is in the same class as their kid, they'll wait until you aren't looking to take your stuff (or just switch carts).
Best part was when I went to ask an employee for help finding something (Flair Correction Pens, in 4 colors). When I got back to my cart the box of 12 ultra-fine tip Sharpies I left in it had been opened, and someone had taken one of them. They'd even doodled on the shopping list I left in my cart to make sure they were taking a pen that worked.
Oddly, you can leave valuables in your cart. Your wallet, purse, and gold jewelry will be perfectly safe if left unattended, but the $2.69 box of high-lighters (12 markers, large tip, in 3 colors) will vanish.
My recommendation: bring a child to guard your cart, preferably one with an iron bladder and who's old enough to use a Taser or firearm if needed. If your kids don't meet this requirement, stop by Home Depot and hire one of the day laborers who hangs out in front looking for work.
4. Do not look for certain numbers of things. The people who make these lists have no idea how things are sold, so it lists things as "1 Expo dry erase marker, chisel-tip, red). Great. They don't sell red ones individually, just in boxes of 4. Or the Flair Correction Pens don't come in only 4 colors, but they do come in 8. Just buy it. If you aren't certain what item the teacher wants, just buy everything in sight and return the rejects later.
Alternatively, if the teacher only wants 1 of an item, such as, say, an ultra-fine tip Sharpie (which only come in boxes of 12), you can always look for an unattended cart with a box of them in it, and take one. If paper is handy, try doodling on it to make sure you are stealing one that works.
5. Hold your place in the check-out line AT ALL COSTS. Reserve it as soon as you walk in the store BEFORE shopping. Use a child (preferably your own) if possible. Other options include day laborers from Home Depot, mannequins, dogs, and aggressive Venus Fly Traps.
6. When in doubt, ask the bleary-eyed, terrified employees for help. If nothing else, it's fun to watch them try to convince you that they don't speak English as they run outside for a cigarette.
Good luck!

Your rights under these Terms will automatically terminate without notice if you fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions.

In a hidden-camera video captured at a private fundraiser and posted Monday afternoon to the website of Mother Jones, Mitt Romney offers an assessment of Barack Obama's supporters that is far more withering than any he's revealed in public.
The clip is one in a series of leaked videos, purportedly taken at an unspecified fundraiser held "earlier this year" and obtained by Mother Jones. They cover everything from Romney's view of how to win over unhappy Obama voters ("they love the phrase that he's 'over his head'") to his belief that policy arguments don't move polls ("discussion on a whole series of important topics typically doesn't win elections") to the strategy behind the deployment of Ann Romney. The cache comes on the heels of another surreptitious clip that captures Romney telling donors a story about the miserable work conditions in a Chinese factory to which he once traveled, and which Bain was considering buying.
(PHOTOS: Political Pictures of the Week, Sept. 7-14)
The most incendiary clip posted by Mother Jones is likely to be Romney's characterization of Obama voters as an "entitled" cohort, "people who pay no income tax" and are "dependent on government, who believe they are victims." It appears to reflect a Randian view of the country, in which Romney's supporters are the producers and Obama's are the moochers.
In general, it's not great for a presidential candidate to make unsympathetic generalizations about 47% of the U.S. population. It's additionally problematic for Romney to whack them for paying too little in taxes when he's declined to provide more than two years of his own returns and pledged to cut taxes for the middle class — some of whom presumably fall into the 47% Romney is denigrating.
Obama knows full well that views a candidate espouses in private can prove damaging; comments he made at a 2008 fundraiser about voters who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them" dogged him for months. Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager, released a statement this afternoon that said: "It's hard to serve as president for all Americans when you've disdainfully written off half the nation."
(PHOTOS: The Rich History of Mitt Romney)
The Romney campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Update, 7:00 p.m. The Romney campaign sends along the following statement from communications director Gail Gitcho:
"Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans struggling in the Obama economy. As the governor has made clear all year, he is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government, including the record number of people who are on food stamps, nearly one in six Americans in poverty, and the 23 million Americans who are struggling to find work. Mitt Romney's plan creates 12 million new jobs in four years, grows the economy and moves Americans off of government dependency and into jobs."
