Experts say they are some things you should never say to your child. The following advice is compiled from parents.com, womansday.com and parenting,com, that all took advisement from child development experts, authors and doctors.
If you routinely say, "Don't bother me" or "I'm busy," children internalize the message and feel they have no importance in your life. Instead, set parameters such as, "When I finish this project, we will go outside …"
Negative labels (picky, lazy, slow, etc.) tend to become self-fulfilling prophecies, so be careful what you tell your children they are, or they may develop into whatever you say.
Wait till daddy (or mommy) gets home is just diluted discipline that will confuse children by separating consequences from actions. It ultimately undermines your authority and credibility as a parent. And making the other parent a "bad cop" is never a good idea.
Life is hectic, but making kids feel guilty for moving at kids' speed just worsens everyone's day. Family therapist and author Paul Coleman suggests that you find ways to speed things up on your own, and make a made a pact with yourself to not express impatience. If time is short an you have no choice but to rush, try, "Let's hurry," putting you on the same team, rather than making you adversaries.
Effusive, vague praise gets tuned out by kids. Be specific in praise and reserve it for when it is deserved for genuine effort. Research shows that tossing out generic praise phrases makes children dependent on your affirmation rather than their own motivation.
"It sends the message that if you make mistakes, you didn't train hard enough," says Joel Fish, Ph.D., author of '101 Ways to Be a Terrific Sports Parent.' Success is often measured by process and effort, not final outcome.
Sibling rivalry is a natural flame that is fanned by parents making comparisons. Comparing your child to anyone else implies you wish they were different and not who they are. Try instead to encourage each child in whatever pursuits are his or hers, while avoiding comparisons.
It's much better to model eating healthy to be well and feel good than to risk influencing your child's body image in a negative way, so be careful how you talk about your own eating habits and body.
Jayne Pearl, the author of Kids and Money, says it's easy to use this default response when your child wants the latest toy, but it may make your children think your finances are not in your control, which can be scary for kids. Better to use it as an opportunity to talk about budgeting. "We're not going to buy that right now because we saving money for ---."
This comment means well, but can cause confusion since, for instance, police officers and firefighters are "strangers." Nancy McBride, executive director for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children says it's better to discuss various specific safety scenarios, and to tell children, "If anyone ever makes you feel sad, scared or confused, you need to tell me right away."
Saying this while your child is involved in a physical endeavor might actually hurt more than help. "Your words distract him from what he's doing, so he loses focus," says Deborah Carlisle Solomon, author of Baby Knows Best. It's better to subtly move to a safer activity than to diminish your child's confidence.
Experts say that this expression actually increases children's valuation of sweets and diminishes enjoyment of their meals. As subtle of a change as, "First we eat our meal and then we have dessert," can stop adding value to dessert.
It's natural to want to give your child a hand, but if you jump in to soon, you can foster dependency. Instead, ask guiding questions to help that lead to them developing problem solving skills.
Experts said overstating success at anything can, over time, make kids hesitant to try other new things for fear of failure. There is then also an overwhelming pressure to never make a mistake or not be "the best." It's better to focus on hard work and the effort expended and verbally acknowledge that.
Instead of being reassuring, you can appear to be dismissing the feelings of an anxious child. Instead, say, "I can see you're worried. Can you tell me what you're most worried about, so we can talk about it?"
This phrase echoes from generation to generation, and even if sometimes things just have to happen for practical or scheduling reasons, you don't want you children to feel they have no input or growing autonomy. You can say, "I know you love playing that computer game, but right now we need to go visit your aunt, and she is waiting for us." Talking it through acknowledges their feelings, but also teaches how your family operates.
If you have asked your child to do a task or they are trying something new, resist the urge to intervene. Otherwise your child will be less likely to try things on their own or at your request for fear of criticism. If you do have to step in, do it as collaboration, not in a dismissive way.
Threats, usually the result of parental frustration, are rarely effective. If a threat is not made good on in short order, it loses all effectiveness. And experts say in general, threats of hitting have been found to lead to more spanking, which itself has been proven to be an ineffective way to change behavior, especially in young children. Studies have shown that the odds of a two-year-olds repeating a misdeed later in the same day are eighty percent no matter what sort of discipline you use.
Both men and women have problems with bloating and excess weight. But according to the website Happydieter.net, there are plenty of foods that will keep you thin -- but full. Here is the rundown!
1. Apples: With plenty of fiber, apples can help you maintain weight and keep you full.
2. Oatmeal: Also loaded with fiber, oatmeal is great for breakfast and won't leave you feeling bloated.
3. Cucumber: They are a natural diuretic and are full of water, allowing your body to get rid of excess water.
4. Brown Rice: Just like whole grains, brown rice is a food that will help you feel full.
5. Bananas: Full of fiber and potassium, bananas will cause the body to expel excess water so you don't feel bloated.
6. Eggplant: Low in sodium, eggplants contain a lot of water, which will help you lose weight.
7. Probiotic Yogurt: These yogurts contain good bacteria that will help keep your digestion and weight in check.
8. Watermelon: Not only is it great for summer days, but watermelon is basically all water. Eat as much as you want!
9. Almonds: Perfect for an afternoon snack, as almonds are full of protein.
10: Tomatoes: Rich in potassium, tomatoes can help prevent bloating. They also contain leptin, which can regulate appetite.
11. Eggs: Low in sodium, eggs contain water that can help you lose weight.
12. Melon: Containing lots of potassium and water, melon can keep you from bloating while also helping you lose weight.
13. Olive Oil: Healthy fats from olive oil can break up bad fat.
14. Bread: Whole grain bread is full of fiber and will help you feel full for a long period of time.
15. Green Leafy Vegetables: Kale, spinach and lettuce are rich in fiber and low in calories.
16. Fish: Look for fish with Omega 3 fatty acids, like mackarel and salmon.
17: Artichoke: A mid-size artichoke contains 30 grams of fiber -- more than half the daily recommended dose.
18: Lentils: Containing protein and fiber, these ingredients are essential for weight loss and maintaining healthy weight.
19: Asparagus: With lots of potassium, asparagus can fill you up without causing bloating.
20. Avocado: We'll end with avocado, which contains lots of monounsaturated fatty acids, which are good for your body.
A man at a Dallas hospital is the first person diagnosed with Ebola in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. The man flew from Liberia -- one of the Ebola hotspots in West Africa -- and arrived in Dallas to visit family on Sept. 20. He began feeling ill about four days later and is now in intensive care.
But before you panic, take a look at these common myths about the deadly virus.
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a scary virus indeed: It has a death rate of up to 90 percent, and it does horrible things to the human body. But the myths that have popped up around Ebola in the few decades since its discovery could be even scarier than the disease. Take a look at common myths about Ebola, debunked by the World Health Organization.
Myth: Ebola can be transmitted through the air. Humans can be infected by other humans if they come in contact with body fluids from an infected person or contaminated objects from infected persons. Humans can also be exposed to the virus through activities like, for example, butchering infected animals.
Myth: Ebola is a rapidly changing virus that could potentially be spread through the air eventually. The first important fact to know about the Ebola virus is that it does not change nearly as fast as other viruses, and it can not be transmitted through the air.
Myth: Death is certain for those who contact Ebola. Not true. While Ebola outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90 percent, it is possible to survive it through intensive support care.
Myth: There is a shortage of Ebola vaccines. Actually, there is no licensed vaccine for the virus and also no cure, but care from medical workers so far has helped sustain the lives several of those stricken. Patients that contract the disease require intensive care and the main debilitation of this virus is dehydration. Patients will be given oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes or intravenous fluids.
Myth: Now that the virus has been brought to the U.S. through two infected Americans, we are all at risk of infection. Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, the two Americans who contracted Ebola in Liberia, have officially been cured of the disease. A lot of planning went into getting the two safely to Atlanta, and they were treated at Emory University Hospital, in a unit built 12 years ago to isolate and care for patients with especially threatening infectious diseases.
Myth: People infected with Ebola exhibit signs and symptoms similar to those afflicted in zombie horror movies. Yes, Ebola is characterized by the sudden onset of fever, intense weakness, muscle pain,, vomiting, diarrhoea and, in some cases, both internal and external bleeding. But those infected with the disease are not walking, groaning zombies, nor are they trying to eat human flesh.
Myth: Ebola is the deadliest disease known to man. True, it can be deadly. But there are many far more common diseases that have claimed many more lives than Ebola.
Click here to read more about the Ebola virus itself.
The deadliest Ebola outbreak in history is plaguing West Africa, where more than 3,000 people have died. Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea are at the center of the outbreak, which has now also spread to Nigeria and the United States. Learn more about this deadly disease.
Four American medical workers have been infected with the disease and taken home to the U.S. for treatment. Dr. Kent Brantly, one of the first American workers infected, has donated blood to Dr. Rick Sacra, who more recently became infected, in the hopes that antibodies in Brantly's blood will help Sacra recover. On Sept. 30, 2014, the CDC announced that the first case of Ebola had been diagnosed in the United States. The unidentified man left Liberia on Sept. 19 and arrived in the United States on Sept. 20 and later got sick. Officials did not release many details about the victim.
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a disease caused by one of five different Ebola viruses. Four of the strains can cause severe illness in humans and animals. The fifth, Reston virus, has caused illness in some animals, but not in humans.
Humans can be infected by other humans if they come in contact with body fluids from an infected person or contaminated objects from infected persons. Humans can also be exposed to the virus through activities like, for example, butchering infected animals.
Symptoms of Ebola typically include weakness, fever, aches, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Additional experiences include rash, red eyes, chest pain, throat soreness, difficulty breathing or swallowing and bleeding, both externally and internally.
Typically, symptoms appear 8 to 10 days after exposure to the virus, but the incubation period can span two to 21 days.
Unprotected health care workers are susceptible to infection because of their close contact with patients during treatment.
According to the World Health Organization, "there is no specific treatment or vaccine," and the fatality rate can be up to 90 percent. Patients are given supportive care, which includes providing fluids and electrolytes and food.
The first human outbreaks occurred in 1976, one in northern Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in Central Africa and the other in southern Sudan (now South Sudan).
The virus is named after the Ebola River, where the virus was first recognized in 1976, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
While the exact reservoir of Ebola viruses is still unknown, researchers believe the most likely natural hosts are fruit bats.

Which items should buy in October, and which sales should you keep waiting for? Take a look at dealnews.com's list of good and bad October buys to help you find this month's best deals.
First, here are the items you should plan to snatch up.
Halloween costumes: You'll find the best sales in November, but then it will be an entire year before you get to wear that Halloween costume. Buy costumes the week before Halloween for the biggest October price cuts, and be sure to look for both sales and coupons.
Denim: This is the time of year that stores are trying to get rid of the jeans they didn't sell during back-to-school season. (Black Friday is also a good time to buy jeans, though.)
Plants: Plant a garden in October? Well, no, not quite. But you can stock up on bulbs and hearty shrubs now, store them in a warm place over the winter and be ready to go in the spring.
Cars: New models usually come out in September, so at this point, dealers tend to offer deals to get older models off their lots.
Here's what to wait on.
Cold weather wear: You'll find the best deals on cold weather clothes and accessories in January. If you absolutely need something before then, try to wait until Black Friday sales.
Cookware: Wait until you're closer to Thanksgiving to find the best deals on cookware and small kitchen appliances.
Big appliances: New models of washers, dryers, fridges and other appliances do come out in September and October, but manufacturers don't usually offer many discounts until November.
Electronic gadgets: Eying a new TV, laptop, camera, mp3 player or phone? Wait for Black Friday, when you're much more likely to find better deals.
However, there are two items that fall into the electronic gadgets category that might be worth looking at now. They are:
HDTVs: Black Friday will still probably be your best bet for a new TV set, but there have been some good deals on HDTVs recently. Dealnews.com recomends looking for sets discounted to $230 to $290 to get the best deals now.
Certain laptops: There have been a lot of deals on 15-inch Core i5 Ivy Bridge systems, according to dealnews.com. But with Windows 8 and the first generations of several hybrid models coming out at the end of October, prices for laptops in general are likely to start climbing at the end of the month.
Visit dealnews.com to see the full story on what to buy in October.

Mew to play Roskilde 2012
We proudly present a much welcome Roskilde reunion. An audience favourite plays an exclusive show – one of very few in 2012 – for its Scandinavian fans.
MEW (DK) has developed a unique sound where Jonas Bjerre's choirboy vocals are the human anchor point in a tornado of sophisticated, dreamy, often hard-hitting rock. Amidst these rugged sounds the band has even written some catchy-as-ever choruses that make pop fans cherish this band. Mew is in the studio these days, so maybe we will even be treated with tunes from an upcoming album.
A statement from Mew's HQ says:
"Having sailed the seven seas, Silas, Jonas and Bo are back in the circle, busy building new floors and sections of the castle that Mew inhabits. Airy halls of light and wind, amber-coloured wood radiating from the bottom up, these rooms are future rooms for us all. This is celebrated with few concerts over the summer and autumn."
Two equally challenging, European bands added to the lineup
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (LUX) plays progressive, hard-hitting and technical rock. This music out of Luxembourg is not just well-executed and with more ideas in one song than many bands use on an entire album. It is also brutally beautiful, melodic guitar rock that will appeal to everyone who digs music with both balls and brain.
TER HAAR (DE) started out as an instrumental band, which you feel in the musicality and attention to detail in all of the trio's songs – even after guitarist Philipp Koller has started singing. The ambition is edgy, complex post-rock that makes you want to dance rather than count time signatures. Don't miss this band if you've enjoyed Battles' angular rhythm.

In one of the most thrilling and wildly fluctuating WTA matches of recent times, Ana beat five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova 6-2, 5-7, 7-5 to set-up a Western & Southern Open final against world No.1 Serena Williams.
Ana led 6-2, 5-2 and looked to have blown her chances – indeed Sharapova later missed two match points – before mounting a stunning comeback of her own to conquer the Russian.
Ana set up an intriguing Cincinnati semi-final with current Road To Singapore leader Maria Sharapova. The 26-year-old defeated world No.39 Elina Svitolina 6-2, 6-3 at the Western & Southern Open.
It was a dominant display by Ana, who served intelligently and overwhelmed the Ukrainian with her controlled aggression. She now leads the 19-year-old 5-0 in their head-to-head series, with three wins coming this year.
Ana survived an intense battle against world No.24 Svetlana Kuznetsova to reach the quarter-finals of the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati. The 26-year-old was ultra-efficient in the opening set, but had to bounce back from a break down in the decider to eventually prevail 6-2, 2-6, 6-3 in one hour and 54 minutes.
Ana made a rather slow start on Court 3. She was broken in the opening game and faced two more break points which would have put a 3-0 lead for the 29-year-old Russian on the scoreboard.
Ana swept in round three of the Western & Southern Open with a 6-4, 6-0 victory over world No.45 Christina McHale.
The first set was somewhat tight, with Ana scoring a pivotal break in the final game. Thereafter, it was a different story: Ana reeled off seven straight games to complete victory.
She served four aces (no double faults) and hit 15 winners and 16 unforced errors.
Ana reached the second round of the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati with a 6-1, 7-5 win over world No.80 Sorana Cirstea of Romania. Encouragingly, she showed no signs of the hip injury that hampered her in her previous two tournaments.
In today's published WTA rankings, Cirstea suffered a giant fall of 44 spots following her round one exit in Montreal last week, and was also during the match immediately put on the backfoot by Ana, who emerged victorious in 67 minutes.
Ana will be on the cover of Bella NYC fashion magazine next month.
The 26-year-old was photographed by John Russo in Napa a fortnight ago. The issue hits the newstands on September 3.
Ana is also on the cover of the Long Island edition of the magazine, also pictured here.
Ana has been drawn against her best friend, world No.36 Sorana Cirstea in the first round of the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati.
Ana leads the head-to-head 2-1 against the Romanian, but lost their last meeting, on clay at the Fed Cup earlier this year.
If she reaches round two, Ana will take on either American Christina McHale or a qualifier. Seventh seed Eugenie Bouchard is a potential third round opponent.
In a match that finished after midnight, Ana fell to world No.51 Coco Vandeweghe in the second round of the Rogers Cup. The 2006 Montreal champion lost 6-7(7), 7-6(7), 6-4.
The first set went entirely on serve and so a tiebreak was required to settle it. Despite the dominance of serve during the set, the first four points of the breaker went against serve. Ana eventually won points on serve and scored a mini-break that led to her taking the opening set.
Ana powered past world No.82 Timea Bacsinszky 6-1, 6-2 in the first roud of the Rogers Cup in Montreal.
It was a dominant performance by the new world No.10, who quickly opened up a 5-0 lead and scored an early break in the second set of the 72-minute match.
Ana will take on 51st-ranked Coco Vandeweghe of the United States in the second round on Wednesday, after the 23-year-old defeated fellow qualifier Shuai Zhang 6-2, 6-4.
It has been a long wait - and at times a real struggle - but after more than five years, Ana is back in the top 10 in the world rankings.
The 26-year-old swapped places with Belarusian Victoria Azarenka, rising from No.11 to 10th, following her quarter-final appearance in the Bank of the West Classic in Stanford last week.

Resource Allocation During the Transition to a Market Economy: Political Implications of Supply Bottlenecks and Adjustment Costs
AbstractThis paper explains why a laissez-faire approach may fail to account for externalities in transforming economies, focusing on externalities associated with supply bottlenecks and adjustment costs. Bottlenecks tend to arise whenever input requirements are stochastic and the opportunity cost of holding inventories is high. They are likely to become prevalent in the state industrial sector once budget constraints are hardened and credit markets begin to function properly, since the creditworthiness of state enterprises is limited by outdated production technologies. The analysis recognizes that producers have incentives to form pooling arrangements, supported potentially by market mechanisms, for reallocating stocks of critical inputs. It is shown, however, that such arrangements do not eliminate the externalities, and that the externalities rise in a nonlinear manner with the opportunity cost of holding inventories. The analysis suggests that once budget constraints are hardened, the externalities associated with bottlenecks and adjustment costs provide a case for subsidizing the costs of critical inputs for the state industrial sector, but not for the new private sector. This subsidy declines as the private sectors grows.

Theatre studies at Carroll College reflect the spirit of Liberal Arts Studies which encourages a broad base of knowledge and an open mind with a spirit of inquiry. To serve that viewpoint we offer two degree programs: A Major and a Minor, both of which are designed to be student-centered, as is our co-curricular production program.
The major is designed with flexibility and student selected options, this enchance scheduling and allows students to pursue individual interests, and works well for students seeking to double major.
The minor consists of 6 THT courses over the course of 4 years (8 semesters) and 2 credits of practicum from working in the co-curricular production program. This allows training and experience, and most importantly involvement for a wide variety of Carroll College students.
Major in Fine Arts: Theatre - Forty- Eight semester credits
I. Major Program Requirements: Nine classes/Twenty-seven semester credits
II. Theatre Electives: Fifteen semester credits from the following classes:
III. Additional Theatre or Fine Arts Electives
Six semester credits
Minor Program Requirements

There is no spoon
Literally .For 2 months now I have no spoon in the whole house. I either forget or I'm to lazy to buy and it makes things rather difficult for me., especially regarding eating. Now what was I saying ? Oh yeah, pigeons in Istanbul . Lots of them. [youtube id="xWQAOwznTX8" mode="normal" align="center"]
Istanbul docks
I was kind of impressed with Istanbul, It's so crowded and chaotic, like a huge market. I found it interesting that everywhere I went to buy something the people insisted on negotiating. So it was very strange when I walk into a hi-tech photo equipment shop the salesman started to negotiate with me for a (actualy very expensive) tripod that I eventually never bought. But what shocked me in the worse kind of way was the fact that internet is censored there. […]

STEELY DAN (+ The ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK)
From small acorns grow... as the saying goes, STEELY DAN – the name take from a steam-powered dildo in William Burroughs' novel, Naked Lunch – reached out to any major dude with an ear for cool, sophisticated soft-rock with a twist of jazz. Throughout the 70s, and nominal parts of the 80s, 90s and the 00s, core members Donald Fagen (vocals/keyboards) and Walter Becker (bass) perfected their horizontal hooklines in the studio, rarely performing live together from late 1974 onwards. Surrounded at first by a proper backing band, and, in turn, studio session players, New York-cum-Los Angeleans STEELY DAN eased their way into the hearts and minds of yuppie acolytes, happy to nod their heads to the irony-driven, FM-friendly classics: 'Do It Again', 'Reelin' In The Years', 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number', 'Haitian Divorce' et al.
While the 'Dan formed in early '72, one could trace their musical footsteps back to 1967, when the pair met at the Big Apple's Bard College. While a short-lived venture in the Bad Rock Group with future comedy actor Chevy Chase proved fruitless, Becker (as Gustav Mahler) and Fagen (as Tristan Fabriani) struck up a Brill Building-like songwriting partnership.
At the turn of the decade, the pair toured as backing musicians with "oldies" circuit act, Jay & The Americans, as well as separately recording tracks – under the unlikely pseudonym of "The Original Soundtrack" for the Richard Pryor movie vehicle, YOU GOTTA WALK IT LIKE YOU TALK IT (OR YOU'LL LOSE THAT BEAT) (1971) {*5}. With their common denominator jazz and pop, the Kenny Vance-produced set took a world-view that was far too weary for its own good. It didn't exactly set the universe alight, but it did save them from nostalgia-circuit oblivion, pairing Messrs Becker and Fagen with rhythm guitarist Denny Dias (then Diaz), and patenting the stylistic quirks of what would become STEELY DAN.
The most striking thing about it is how much the boyish wonders sound like an L.A. act before they'd even moved there. A Laurel Canyon ballad from the concrete canyons of New York, the Vance-sung 'If It Rains' could easily have slipped incognito amidst the FM harmonies of the 'Dan's first album. The near CSN-mellow 'Roll Back The Meaning' and the tumbling jazz-piano chords of 'Dog Eat Dog' likewise, expounding Fagen's casually erudite cynicism as an opening gambit. In fact, anyone with a soft spot for easy rolling, early-period 'Dan can welcome this record as a debut before the debut; most bands would have to consider themselves fortunate to be blessed with the talent incubating here. That the loose roots-pop occasionally gives way to quasi-quadrophonic indulgence like 'War & Peace' (it is a soundtrack after all) is about the only note of caution to be sounded in what has to rank as an essential addition to the already Mount Rushmore-strength STEELY DAN legacy.
Meanwhile, back on 110th Street (or thereabouts), attempts to hawk their songs to Big Apple publishers proved fruitless, and it was only through meeting independent producer, Gary Katz, that the duo found their way into a staff job at L.A.'s Dunhill-ABC imprint. Katz was also the catalyst for what would become STEELY DAN, a studio outfit comprising Fagen, Becker, Dias, vocalist David Palmer, ex-HOLY MODAL ROUNDERS guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter and drummer Jim Hodder.
Although a non-album debut single, 'Dallas', made little impact, the simmering latin-funk rock of 'Do It Again' cracked the US Top 10. It also introduced Fagen's inimitable lyrical wit, a cynical DLYAN-esque worldview which mocked L.A.'s pretensions and would see STEELY DAN hailed as one of the most cuttingly accurate commentators of the 70s. The accompanying CAN'T BUY A THRILL (1972) {*8} nailed the point home with consummate ease, laying down the jazz-rooted, FM-slick blueprint that was endlessly tweaked, polished and perfected with each successive album. The enduring 'Reelin' In The Years' was lifted as their third single and gave the group another major hit, the track's searing guitar solo, as with 'Kings', provided by session man, Elliott Randall. If there was one critical niggle it was that blue-eyed soul man Palmer couldn't always carry the subtle insinuations of the lyrics (the intimate 'Dirty Work' track, aside), but by the following year the problem had been solved when he bailed out, unhappy when the band took on a tour without much in the way of rehearsal.
Fagen and Becker subsequently took up the task themselves on sophomore set, COUNTDOWN TO ECSTASY (1973) {*8}, combining even more opaque themes with densely layered, immaculately executed musicianship. Without the help of a major hit single ('Show Biz Kids' and 'My Old School' stalling under the 60+ mark), the record only just scraped into the Top 40, more or less due to the strengths and sophisication of others like opener, 'Bodhisattva', 'The Boston Rag' and 'Razor Boy'.
1974's 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number' redressed the balance in fine style, a gorgeously lovelorn Top 5 hit inspired by a Horace Silver piano riff, and a track which formed the centrepiece of third album, PRETZEL LOGIC {*8}. More obviously jazz-influenced (included was a dinky cover of Duke Ellington's 'East St. Louis Toodle-oo', while 'Parker's Band' was a tribute to be-bop legend, Charlie Parker) yet more immediately accessible, the album further enhanced their reputation among rock/pop connoisseurs. The wordplayfulness of 'Any Major Dude Will Tell You', the title track, 'Charlie Freak' and short-ish 'Through With Buzz', found the 'Dan in vibrant mood, able to swing and bop with any chosen breeze.
And it was a reputation that mushroomed without the PR of touring, Becker and Fagen refusing to play live after 1974 – although a tour was planned to promote the forthcoming KATY LIED (1975) {*8}, the idea was abandoned in its early stages. With STEELY DAN now basically a studio entity, both Hodder and Baxter bailed, the latter joining The DOOBIE BROTHERS (ironically enough, an easy rocking, all-American, all-touring hit machine that was essentially the antithesis of the whole STEELY concept). Coincidentally, Baxter's replacement was Michael McDonald, a silky-voxed future "Brothers" mentor whose harmony vocals helped sweeten the bite of the aforementioned "Katy". 'Black Friday', one-that-got-away 'Bad Sneakers' and the seductive 'Doctor Wu' (in which the "Katy Lied" line appears), were freewheeling and swaggering, soothing and subtle without tipping the balance from heady jazz-pop into soft-rock.
THE ROYAL SCAM (1976) {*7} was even more scathing in its lyrical ferocity, taking no prisoners in its portrayal of American society's inherent hypocrisy and monetary greed. But if the sentiments were getting darker, the music was getting slicker; the polish of 'Haitian Divorce' (their only UK Top 20 single), 'Kid Charlemagne' and 'The Fez', supported again by the likes of seasoned session men, Larry Carlton, Victor Feldman, Chuck Findley and the returning Denny Dias; Wilton Felder, Michael Omartian and Elliott Randall had all moved on to other projects. By this point, Becker and Fagen were employing the cream of the city's session musicians, recording AJA (1977) {*8} in numerous different studios and endlessly remixing it prior to release. Painstakingly crafted but rarely overdone, "Aja" – for many fans and critics alike – remains the definitive STEELY DAN opus, its dense, lush arrangements rewarding repeated listening. It was also their best seller, a transatlantic Top 5 – at the height of punk/new wave in the UK – later plundered by hip hoppers DE LA SOUL ('Peg'); Scotland's very own DEACON BLUE even taking their name from one of its tracks; closing piece, 'Josie', another highlight and US hit.
With A.B.C. Records coming under the auspices of M.C.A. (after the movie theme to 'FM' cracked the Top 30), legal problems led to a 3-year wait for what was to be the final album of STEELY DAN's career, GAUCHO (1980) {*7}. Criticised for what many detractors saw as cloying slickness, the record was nevertheless another masterstroke of detached observation; the likes of 'Babylon Sisters' and 'Glamour Profession' were aimed squarely at the decadence of L.A.'s showbiz elite, while 'Third World Man', remains one of the most haunting STEELY DAN compositions.
After more than a decade of living in each other's pockets, Becker and Fagen parted company; while the former went into production (for CHINA CRISIS, RICKIE LEE JONES, etc), DONALD FAGAN penned a solo masterpiece in 1982's "The Nightfly", trading in irony for surprisingly upbeat youthful reminiscences. The album's critical and commercial success didn't seem to spur him on to further glories, however, an incredible 11-year gap preceding a belated 90s follow-up, "Kamakiriad". Fagen almost immediately returned BECKER's production favour on the latter's debut solo effort, "11 Tracks Of Whack" in '94, a hard-bitten affair borne of the kind of narcotic strife which would've finished a lesser talent.
After appearing live as part of the New York Rock and Soul Revue in the early 90s, Becker and Fagen finally re-formed STEELY DAN for a series of feverishly anticipated US live dates. Documented on 1995's ALIVE IN AMERICA {*5} album, the tour was an unqualified success despite the duo's misgivings.
As the success of the live shows might've predicted, fresh studio set TWO AGAINST NATURE (2000) {*7} was a comeback well worth waiting for. All the STEELY DAN trademarks – painstakingly crafted arrangements, luxuriant sonic textures, obliquely witty lyrics – were in present and correct, Walter and Donald sounding like their partnership hadn't been interrupted for a single day, never mind two decades. Like almost all their works, this was also an album which rewarded the repeated listening necessary to uncover the manifold layers of subtle meaning, shading and tone. Opener, 'Gaslighting Abbie', drew from funk-driven jazz, while there was renaissance STEELY DAN courtesy of 'What A Shame About Me'. The title track was pure R&B jazz, taking its cue from Shirley & Lee's "Clapping Song" rhythm, and for lovers of angular diversions, the latter climactic half of 'West Of Hollywood' would've made jazzmen like COLTRANE and DAVIS come up for air.
Thankfully, fans didn't have to wait another generation for the release of a second latter day studio set. Basically, EVERYTHING MUST GO (2003) {*6}, continued in a similar vein to its predecessor, albeit with a more relaxed vibe and production than any album in their immaculately crafted career. Becker even made his lead vocal debut, more than thirty years after starting the band, an interesting development even if it was never going to threaten Fagen's still masterfully insinuating croon. With what seems like STEELY DAN's final sale, both FAGEN and BECKER have continued individually, the former genius being the most commercial through "Morph The Cat" (2006) and "Sunken Condos" (2012), the latter via "Circus Money" (2008).

WilmerHale's New York office relocated to 7 World Trade Center (7 WTC) in July 2012. The offices include more technologically advanced and collaborative space, enabling the firm to further enhance its ability to provide clients with the highest quality services. The new office is at the forefront of environmental sustainability initiatives and demonstrates the firm's commitment to the revitalization of Lower Manhattan.
The firm's move to 7 WTC made history as the first lease in the city to allow the tenant and the owner to benefit from energy efficient improvements while sharing in the costs to make the improvement attainable. The lease promotes enhanced energy efficiency and sustainability, and complements the firm's LEED® Gold certification for its space—one of the few firms in the city to have that honor. WilmerHale is also the first major law firm to move from Midtown to Downtown since 9/11.
Having grown to nearly 200 lawyers since our New York practice opened in 1999, our New York office has developed a premier practice founded on many of the firm's core strengths. Across all practice areas, the New York office has been built on the firm's guiding principles of collegiality, diversity, commitment to public service, and dedication to our clients and the practice of law. As an office integrated within a global firm of more than 1,000 lawyers, we benefit from the breadth of experience and expertise of our talented colleagues throughout the firm. We frequently work with lawyers from other offices to insure that our clients are able to draw seamlessly upon the resources and expertise of the entire firm.
The primary practice areas of the New York office include securities regulation and enforcement, intellectual property, patent and trademark litigation, trial and appellate litigation, white collar defense, corporate, bankruptcy and financial institutions. Our clients consist of a broad array of companies, including major financial, investment management and investment banking firms, pharmaceutical and life-sciences companies, venture-backed corporate start-ups and technology firms. Our work on behalf of these clients often involves novel and interesting issues of first impression, many of which raise important questions of public policy.
Consistent with our firm's rich tradition of public service, the office has developed a vibrant pro bono program. Lawyers within the office are encouraged to work on significant pro bono matters of interest to them and do so routinely. Recent examples of our pro bono work include two successful wrongful conviction cases, a successful 1983 action for wrongful arrest and imprisonment, several cases that were briefed or argued by the firm before the US Supreme Court, the successful defense at trial of a nonprofit social services organization, and a series of immigrant rights cases and a free speech case that have been argued by our associates before federal courts of appeals.
Our practice in the New York office is enriched by an unusually talented and interesting group of colleagues. Our lawyers include PhDs in English literature, electrical engineering, molecular biology, and organic chemistry. As is the case throughout the firm, many of our lawyers in the New York office had significant government, regulatory or public interest careers prior to joining the firm, and many of our colleagues had one or more federal court clerkships before entering private practice.
Our firm's strong commitment to the training and development of our attorneys is evidenced in the exciting opportunities that our alumni have pursued when they left our firm, including several Assistant US Attorneys in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, the General Counsel of the Dallas Cowboys, and tenure track positions at the University of Chicago, Cardozo Law School, the University of Michigan, and the University of South Carolina.

Meet Your Team
Loren was first introduced to RRI on Thanksgiving, 1989 (one of the very first basket brigades Tony did). She was so moved by the event, she decided she was "home". In 1990, Loren worked in the Production Department planning the one-day events known as The Competitive Edge, UPW weekends and organized Project Contribution, a day where Life Mastery Participants would go help in the community. At that time Life Mastery had about 2,500 participants at one event. She organized that day, for over 14 years. Her big passion has always been with the Crew, and she created the Crew Program over 23 years ago. Loren always says "the crew is the heartbeat of the events" In 2001, Sage and Tony approached Loren about launching as the facilitator for the new Life Mastery program in Fiji and taught Life Mastery Programs back to back (over 80 in 3 years). Then she came back to the US and continues to teach Life Mastery events, yet Loren still felt the pull to work with the Crew, and has been back for several years as the Crew Mama Bear. Loren's belief is that our job, no matter what, is "to take care of these participants."
A bundle of energy with an enormous heart, Loren exudes the essence of enjoying being alive and truly getting all there is out of life. A thriving, successful and dedicated mother, loving wife, distinguished international personal development seminar leader, speaker, Elite Lifestyle coach, huge philanthropist, internationally published author, of The Greatest Love, Life Tuneups and The Drama Free Divorce Detox, Loren loves a challenge! She stands as a model of possibility for women everywhere. She is an example of what it means to have it all, do it all, and love it all by living her truth. "There is absolutely no reason that a woman can't have it all – it's just a matter of staying true to who you are and consciously and creatively using the gifts and resources that are all around you."

My stab at a Slenderman fic.
For ~MissDelirium
I get a lot, a lot a lot a lot, a lot, a LOT of comments questioning this, and I'm surprised I haven't qualified this yet in the description, so here you go.
The original Slenderman mythos (we're talking early 2005 Slenderman, yes, he was spoken about that long ago) dictated that he appeared differently for each person he visited. For some people, he'd have no face; for others, he would. It all depended on what that particular person found the scariest.
The Slenderman that has become the popularized view of Slenderman is, of course, the Slenderman from Marble Hornets. There are a lot of spin offs of Slenderman, but they all source back to Marble Hornets in some way, shape, or form.
When I wrote this, I PURPOSELY drove it away from the popularized view of Slenderman. I wanted to bring him back to his Something Awful roots. The best way to do that, to me, seemed to draw my reader in using what I thought was scary.
A monster without a face, to me, is laughable. It's alien, sure, but it's just alien enough that it's difficult for readers to imagine in a scary context. After all, everything has a face. Everything has to have a mouth, and eyes, and blahblahblah. For some, the idea that something couldn't have these things might be terrifying for them; for me, it wouldn't have stuck. it wouldn't have been scary. I would have just kept questioning the logistics of how it was possible.
So, my Slenderman appears with a face. I don't know if he has eyes or not, but he has a mouth. To me, you can deal without eyes (probably because my brother is blind, so I grew up knowing you can get away without seeing); but you can't survive without a mouth. So my version of Slenderman has a mouth, probably very wide, full of sharp teeth set in the back of his mouth.
It's just my interpretation of Slenderman! You don't have to agree, and I don't mind if you guys want to share your versions of Slendy to me. If you like the Marble Hornets interpretation, go for it! Just don't knock my version.
Marble Hornets may be the best known form of Slenderman, but that doesn't mean it's the ONLY form!
Caught the 1,000 favorites mark! Thanks guys! You are all INSANE.
PS--keep an eye out for a sequel, perhaps?...

$100,000 bond set for wife accused of killing husband
A Collier judge set bond at $100,000 Friday for an East Naples woman accused of shooting and killing her husband in East Naples.
Hope Johns, 68, who faces a second-degree murder charge in the death of Jack Johns, 72, will return to her part-time home in Michigan if she posts bond. Johns' family supported bringing her back to the Lansing, Mich., area, where three of her children live, according to her lawyers and testimony from her son.
Collier sheriff's investigators said Johns fatally shot her husband of 48 years Monday night in the chest at their Glen Eagle home, where three bullet holes and signs of a struggle were found. Friends and neighbors described Hope Johns as a devoted caregiver of her husband, who suffered from complications of diabetes for at least a decade. But in a phone call to law enforcement officials, Hope Johns' son-in-law described her as an alcoholic suffering from recent delusions and paranoia.
Prosecutors requested a $1 million bond, while Hope Johns' lawyers asked for $50,000.
Hope Johns watched the court proceedings via video teleconference, never speaking or showing emotion. Her lawyers said a family support system is in place to provide round-the-clock supervision in Michigan. Her only son briefly spoke during the hearing, assuring Collier County Judge Vince Murphy that she would be monitored by her children.
Shannon McFee, a lawyer for Hope Johns, didn't challenge whether law enforcement had probable cause for the arrest, but he said there are "certainly going to be defenses ... that can easily be raised."
"There is no telling at this point what happened," McFee said.
Prosecutors requested $1 million bond for Hope Johns, noting the severity of the allegations and concerns about her mental state raised in the phone call from her son-in-law. Assistant state attorney James Stewart said Johns faces a minimum of 25 years in prison if convicted, essentially a life sentence for a woman her age.
"That inherently makes somebody a flight risk," Stewart said.
Investigators said Hope Johns has no family ties to the region. She and her husband have split time between Michigan and Southwest Florida for 18 years.
As part of her bond release, Hope Johns isn't allowed to consume alcohol or possess a firearm. Murphy decided not to impose a GPS or alcohol monitor.
As of 6 p.m. Friday, Johns was still listed in custody on the Sheriff's Office web site.
A funeral for Jack Johns will be held Tuesday in the Lansing area, family friend Marie Rotunda said.

Friday, June 06, 2014 - Filip and Mate - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Filip and Mate - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Mate More is a very sexy guy. We brought him in for a screentest, and paired him up with Filip Cerny. After an brief interview Filip leans over and starts to kiss his new buddy. He gropes Mate as they kiss, and then he helps him off with his pants. Filip takes hold of Mate's cock and wanks on it and he kisses all down his body. Then he takes the swelling cock in his mouth and soon has it rock hard. Mate loves the feeling of mouth on his cock and places his band on Filip's head, pushing him down on it. After more kissing Filip removes his pants too, and reveals his own hard cock, which Mate quickly grabs and starts to wank. Mate then climbs onto his knees and Filip sucks him some more, with Mate fucking his dick in and out of that eager mouth. Filip then has Mate lay down and lift his legs in the air, with his ass exposed. Filip dives in and rims that hot hole. With Mate's dick still rock hard Filip soon gives up his ass, for some hard fucking. Mate slams his dick in that sexy ass, as Filip, on his knees, moans with each thrust. Mate really fucks well and moves Filip to a missionary position and pounds his hole some more. Then they spoon, with Filip wanking himself and Mate fucks him deep. Mate keeps up that hard fucking as Filip wanks himself to a creamy cumshot. Then Mate pulls out and shoots his own cum over Filip's face. Filip takes the sticky cock into his mouth to clean it off. What a great screentest, with both guys doing well and Mate proving that he is really up for it.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (WTAQ) - Donors have helped a Chippewa Falls church make up for some of the thousands of dollars it lost to a thief at Christmas.
Somebody took the money in a burglary at St. Charles Borromeo Church, right after 6 services were held during the Christmas weekend. Some of it was supposed to go an orphanage near Lima Peru.
Donors gave more than $15,000 after hearing about the burglary. And First Lutheran Church in Eau Claire matched $4,000, making the grand total around $20,000.
Pastor William Felix and others presented checks for the orphanage Thursday to the missions' office of the La Crosse Catholic Diocese.
Up to $6,000 of what was stolen was intended for the orphans in Peru. No arrests have been made.

I'm getting back to this writing thing.
There is writing I need to do and writing I want to do, unfortunately they aren't the same thing. I wish I could induce Cady Heron-esque word-vomitting.
When I was a kid people told me I talked to much.
I tried to become one of those people that says very little but makes a big impact when I chose to speak.
Instead I just became a person that sometimes talks to much and other times doesn't talk at all.
I have no middle ground. But, I am a very good listener."— Today's drive

Well, just another week (long week) before training camp, and some relevant news in regard to the Chiefs and all things football.
I believe it is important to not only keep a close eye on what the Chiefs are doing, but to keep an even closer eye on what the enemy is doing. I'm going to take a brief look into what the other teams in the AFC West have done, or not done, in the off season to help them win this coming season.
First up, the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers, didn't do a whole lot, and why should they? They won the division last year. They still have the nucleus of a very good team and didn't try to mess it up. I still think LT is do for a season ending injury at some point, and if he goes down, the Chargers are done. They still have Michael Turner listed as LT's back up on their official site, but I don't see that happening since Michael moved on to the Atlanta Falcons in the off season. Look for the second best tight end in the NFL-Antonio Gates-to make a full comeback and continue to be his second best self. I am guessing, that on paper the Chargers will be the favorite to win the West again and I would have to say that is a fair assessment.
The Denver Broncos. The Broncos are in my opinion a mess. Their starting running back-Travis Henry-tested positive for marijuana (again) and was cut, and their starting wide receiver-Brandon Marshall-is a criminal thug. He too might be facing suspension. The defensive line was not very good last year and the Donkey's haven't done a whole lot to fix it, unless you're counting the trade for Dwayne Robertson from NY. My goodness, they might as well made a trade for Ryan Sims (sorry Dwayne). I'll make a bold prediction here, I say the Broncos finish last in the AFC West this year. I'm not just saying that because I hate them with a passion, but I honestly believe this will be a very trying time for the Donks this year. Maybe the Broncs can find a way to coax Alex Gibbs away from the Houston Texans where he is once again teaching young men how to hit defenders low and ruin careers.
This leaves us with the Oakland Raiders. I like to call this franchise "Washington West". What can I say about our friends the Faiders? They have signed every free agent they could find that even thought about wanting to play for them. If they really didn't, the Raiders front office just threw more money at them until they had no choice. They started off the year by signing Tommy Kelly (one of their own) to a multi-year deal they made him the highest paid defensive tackle in the league. If you want a good laugh, go look up Tommy's career stats. They are owned by a man that has lost the ability to run a NFL team and has made what once was a proud and feared franchise into a pitiful and embarrassing circus-the kind you go to the local mall parking lot to watch. Al Davis didn't allow his front office personnel to do their jobs and draft NFL talented players, he only cared about one thing-speed, baby. Now that philosophy has failed, he shook up to the front office because it had to be their fault and now he has decided to follow what Daniel Snyder of the Redskins tried for several years. Sign as many "big name" players as you can and their talent alone will win you a championship. Wrong. It doesn't work that way, never has, never will. You need chemistry in the locker room and you can't buy that. I hope Al stays on for a long time, he is making it easy for the rest of the AFC West.
Now a couple other quick thoughts. First, this whole Brett Favre thing, I don't see any way in the world he would ever be in Chief. Now if you asked me that before Herm Edwards got here I would say maybe, Lord knows Carl has a penchant for old quarterbacks. But the youth movement is on, the quarterback is chosen-No Brett Favre.
Looking Ahead: OK, we should start to see the rest of the Chiefs draft picks begin signing on the dotted line this week. Except for maybe Dorsey and Albert, who by the way for those of you who like to give nicknames to Chiefs players and last year Tank Tyler and Turk McBride were "TNT" then I guess this year Glenn Dorsey and Branden Albert are "DNA". Right?

Airbus ACJ319 Elegance Simplifies Interior Design
Today at ABACE 2014, Airbus Corporate Jetliner introduced the ACJ319 Elegance, which offers a new modular cabin that still allows customers to choose from many lounge, office, dining and conference configurations. The Elegance is aimed at customers who don't want to invest the time and effort in making the nearly endless design decisions for a bizliner.
"The ACJ319 Elegance has a fixed front and back. You get a bedroom and a bathroom at the back and at the front you've got a galley, two bathrooms and a crew rest area," a company spokesman told AIN. "Then you, as a customer, choose what you put in the middle."
Despite the modular approach, plenty of scope remains for customizing the three remaining cabin zones. "You still have a choice of colors and fabrics," he said. "It's essentially the layout that is predefined." The weight and center-of-gravity calculations for the modules have already been done, easing the planning process even more.
Another benefit of the modular interior will be simplifying future upgrades and allowing easy changes by new owners when the jet is sold.
Benoit Defforge, the new head of Airbus Corporate Jets, said the Elegance will carry a price tag about $10 million less than that of the $90 million fully customizable ACJ320.

LOST 6.6: I Put the Ball Back in Your Court
- Thursday, March 11, 2010
Ben waxes nostalgic over the day flight 815 broke apart and completely changed his life. Among Sawyer's old stash, one of the things Ben finds is The Chosen, a book that is very heavy on themes involving baseball, fathers and sons, taking over an important position, and Judaism - just like LOST with its patriarchal names, references to the Abraham-sacrificing-Isaac story, and many references to baseball.
One more question solved: why did Ilana gather up Jacob's ashes? Well, at least one reason was to let Miles have a go at 'em. And sure enough, this is what forces Ben to come clean with truth. Jacob was the closest thing she ever had to a father (we still need to see more of their backstory), prompting one of the episode's best lines from Miles to Ben: "Uh-oh!"
Ilana forces Ben to dig his own grave, sending Ben back into pouting mode. He digs slowly and petulantly (which is understandable, I suppose). He turns his nose up at a "last meal" of green beans and bananas. He tries to bribe Miles with his "fast network of people and resources." And he whines that he's being punished for killing a guy that didn't even care about being killed. Miles sets him right about this. Oh no, he cared. "Right up until the dagger entered his heart, he was hoping he was wrong about you." Don't have to be a genius theologian to see the Judas-and-Jesus parallels here. Just because a Christ figure lets himself be killed doesn't mean he didn't care; it probably just indicates a higher purpose, despite a hope to let this cup pass. Jesus was betrayed by a follower, a friend. He knew what Judas would do, and that it needed to be done, but perhaps also hoped he was wrong. Ben regrets his choice, just as we are led to believe Judas regretted his. Both were deceieved, twisting their minds. But what Judas never got is another chance. Ben finds that when he finds Ilana willing to "have him." You don't have to go to the dark side, Ben. They're not the only ones who will have you. This was one of the most moving scenes of the season for me (and them holding guns on each other in the jungle flashed me back to Sayid and Danielle doing the same in Season One, but from that point after, they were friends). And I think Ilana's choice to show mercy and forgiveness is going to be the key to much.
Flocke's group is hanging out on Hydra Island. Why there? Are there still some 316 survivors hanging out over there? I wonder how he is planning to leave the island? Or why leaving the island requires MIB to have followers? Doesn't that seem a little strange? "I'm gathering a group to leave the island," he tells Ben. We can only assume that these followers are somehow a requirement for him to be able to leave, but why? How? What will he do with them once he leaves? We also learn that Flocke wishes no such thing as Ben's death, and that he even recommends him to be in charge of the island after they leave. Is this a joke? Letting Ben be a solitary king of a rock that has no magic to it (as he has already told Sawyer), especially if there are no people surviving on it? Ben gets to be his own little Emperor-in-Name-Only ruler of a zero population island? Or does Flocke have some sort of obligation to where, even if he is set free, he still must make sure the island is set up with a new Jacob of some sort?
Sun wants to know why Ilana wants to find Jin. This leads to us being told that there is still confusion on which Kwon is a candidate: Sun, Jin, or both of them. We are also told that there are "only 6 [candidates] left." Who would they be? This feels like back when we were trying to guess who was and wasn't part of the Oceanic Six, and it was somewhat tricky because we weren't sure whether or not to count Aaron. Here, we assume the six are Hurley, Jack, and Sun in the current camp, Sawyer, Sayid and Jin in the other camp. Locke was a candidate but he is dead. But... he was one of the original six names. So how can there still be six? Especially when Ilana told us she wasn't sure which Kwon is a candidate? Shouldn't the correct answer be, "5 candidates left, possibly, I suppose, 6, depending on you and Jin?" Because if there were 6 originally (as corresponding to each of the six numbers 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42), there should be 5 now...

I think dates might just be the most underrated thing in the grocery store. I think they get a bad rap because they look like large mutant raisins.
Of course, the standard thing to do with dates is stuff them with blue cheese and wrap them with bacon. Delicious no doubt.
You could apply the same procedure to your fat uncle's shoe and have something that's pretty darn tasty though.
That's why I like this loaf. It has a few other flavors going on that go well with dates, but it's mainly just jam-packed with the sweet fruit.
Date and Orange Loaf
- 2 cups medjool dates, chopped
- 1/3 cup orange liqueur
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 orange, zest only
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3/4 cup orange juice
- 3/4 cup walnut, chopped
Helpful Equipment
1) Remove seeds from dates and roughly chop them. Then add them to a bowl with the orange liqueur. Let sit for at least 20 minutes.
2) In the bowl of a stand mixer (or in a large mixing bowl), cream together the butter and brown sugar until it's light and fluffy.
3) In a separate small bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4) Once butter and sugar is creamed together, add in egg, vanilla, and orange zest. Mix until smooth on low.
5) Add in dry ingredients in 1/3 batches. In between each batch, stir in half of the orange juice.
6) Once the batter is formed, try not to overmix it. Then stir in dates with orange liqueur and walnuts. Stir until just combined.
7) Spoon batter into a loaf pan that's been buttered and lightly coated with flour.
8) Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes until it's nice and golden brown.
9) Let loaf cool for five minutes, then remove it from pan and let it cool for at least another 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Serve with cream cheese or butter!
Recipe slightly adapted from Ina Garten.
Dates are Delish
I bought a small container of dates for this recipe. It was about 10 ounces of dates which was just enough for the recipe. I figured I would just sneak one to see how sweet they were.
Four dates later I snapped out of my date-crazed haze and almost had to go back to the store to get more!
They are wonderful on their own. If you have a sweet tooth, try having a few dates for dessert. They are completely filling and so sweet!
One thing to remember is that dates have seeds in them. This makes them kind of a pain to work with.
What I like to do is cut all my dates in half and then the seed just pops out. Then you can roughly dice them which is the size you need for this recipe.
Dates are good on their own, but there are a few flavors that go really well with them.
Orange is one of those flavors, so this recipe sneaks in orange in about every way possible: liqueur, zest, and juice.
For the liqueur, you can use any orange liqueur really. Just add a small amount of it to your chopped dates and let them sit for about 20 minutes.
If you want to really have your mind blown, be sure to try one of the soaked dates before you put it in the batter.
Whoa. Good and will get you drunk!
The Batter
This is a great batter. It's kind of a cross between cake and cookie. The end result is a really dense loaf though that has a great texture and just the right amount of sweetness.
Start by creaming your sugar and butter together in a mixing bowl. You can use a stand mixer or a hand mixer for this recipe.
Cream them together for a few minutes until they form a light and fluffy base.
Meanwhile, you'll need to zest an orange. You just want the orange part off the fruit which has all the flavors and essential oils. A microplane zester will make quick work of this.
To finish the batter, mix together your dry ingredients in a separate bowl (flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg).
Then add the egg, vanilla, and zest to the batter base. Mix that together and then start adding the dry ingredients. I recommend adding 1/3 of the dry ingredients at a time and add your orange juice in between dry batches.
So the order would be dry – OJ – dry – OJ – dry.
Mix the batter until it just comes together. You don't want to over-mix it or your finished loaf will be tough.
Finally, mix in your walnuts and the dates that have been soaking.
Baking the Loaf
Spoon this thick batter into a loaf pan that's been lightly buttered and floured.
If you're like me, you'll want to lick this batter bowl. It's delicious. And alcoholic!
Bake this sucker for 55-60 minutes at 350 degrees.
The finished loaf will be a wonderful golden brown color and slightly cracked on the surface.
Let this cool for a few minutes and then it should just slide out of the loaf pan.
Let it cool for at least 20 minutes before slicing into it.
Each slice of this is packed with lots of dates and walnuts.
I recommend serving it with butter or cream cheese!
Once you've tried this loaf, be sure to try stuffing the loaf with blue cheese and wrapping the whole thing with bacon.
