Here is This week's Florida Panthers organizational update…
The Panthers played three home games this week. On Monday night, they fell to the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in a shootout. Evander Kane scored two goals for the Jets. The Panthers battled from behind to tie it at 3 late in the third, but Kane's second goal came shortly after, sending the game to overtime and a shootout. Andrew Ladd and Kyle Wellwood scored in the shootout, sealing the win for Winnipeg.
Thursday night saw déjà vu, as the Panthers fell in a shootout after coming from behind. This time it was a 3-2 decision with the Chicago Blackhawks as opponents. Patrick Kane scored the clinching goal in the shootout.
The Panthers seemed to right the ship Sunday, scoring three first period goals against their arch rival Tampa Bay Lightning. But Tampa Bay came back to score three in the final two frames, and Dominic Moore's shootout goal gave the Panthers a bitter taste in their mouth one more time, as they earn three out of six points on the homestand, going 0-0-3.
After Sunday's game, goalie Scott Clemmensen was recalled from San Antonio (AHL), with Jacob Markstrom being sent to the Rampage in his place.
The Panthers are in Canada for the week. They will take on the Toronto Maple Leafs and red-hot goaltender Ben Scrivens on Tuesday. They then take a trip to central Canada and Winnipeg to take on the Jets. Florida needs wins, and anything less than a three-point week will be seen as a failure. Four points are ideal, but you can never ask for that on the road. They return home on Sunday to take on the Philadelphia Flyers at 5:00 from the BankAtlantic Center.
The Rampage made easy work of the Toronto Marlies on Saturday night 6-1. It was Clemmensen's return to the net, as he was on a rehab stint after having surgery on his knee during the preseason. Clemmensen stopped 31 of 32 shots. Evgeny Dadonov scored two goals in the win. Bracken Kearns scored the game-winner, and Michel Repik, Joe Devin, and David Marshall also netted goals in the victory. For Devin, it was his first AHL goal in his first game at that level.
San Antonio could not keep up the momentum in game 2 of the weekend Sunday afternoon. Brian Foster got the start in net for their 4-0 loss to their rival Texas Stars. Foster made 29 saves in the loss.
San Antonio embarks on its first out-of-state road trip of the season. They travel to Lake Erie (Cleveland area) to take on the Monsters on Thursday and Friday, before returning home to battle the Stars on Sunday.
Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees (CHL)
The Killer Bees topped the Texas Brahmas 1-0 on Friday night. Aaron Lee scored the lone goal in the first period. On Saturday, the Bees handled the Tulsa Oilers 6-1. Lee scored in that game as well. Zac Pearson also had a goal. Thomas Klempa scored two goals, and Jason Dixon and Brandon Campos also tallied goals in the game.
The Bees take on the Allen Americans on Wednesday. They follow up with two more home games against the Arizona Sundogs Friday and Saturday.
Anthony Luciani scored two of the opening three goals for the Cyclones, but they fell 4-3 in a shootout to the Chicago Express Friday night at the Sears Center. In the back end of the home-and-home, Cincinnati's home opener, the Cyclones fell in a shootout once again. Tyler Plante was credited with the shootout losses in both games. He now is 0-0-0-2 since going down from San Antonio.
The two clubs will meet up again in Chicago on Friday night. The Cyclones return home Saturday to take on the Trenton Titans.

Well that would be stupid, to just blaze someone else up and never expect anything back.
I don't mind sharing weed at all but that's ALWAYS under one condition, that is if the person is someone I've been hanging out with for awhile and is a good friend and I can expect them to bun me later on.
I have 3 friends that are really close, when they have they bud they always call me up because that's just how we are, when I have I'll call them to chill, and honestly we have been doing this for a year or so now, pretty much 3 times a week, and it saves each one of us a lot of our own money at the end.
Walls, I've noticed you come across as selfish, I don't know it just comes across that way from your posts, so did you blaze back the people that first blazed you?

Vultures' Picnic
by Greg Palast
Dutton, 2011
The one part of government largesse that doesn't get much negative flack from Tea Partiers is the military/industrial/petroleum/security apparatus. Yet reading Greg Palast's powerful exposé on how these elites operate would give Tea Partiers much evidence that the government is in cahoots with the most irresponsible elements in the private sector. The government protects corporations from regulation and exposure for crimes committed against powerless people and the environment. Vultures' Picnic brings the reader into the thick of one muckraking journalist's attempt to uncover the criminal practices of corporate giants. Their "mistakes," including the Gulf Coast disaster, often lead to huge environmental devastation. Palast unveils the pattern of BP-covered-up and media-downplayed disasters that have become the norm in our materialistic and environmentally insensitive world, where profit is so often valued above human life. Palast tells this urgent story in an accessible and engaging manner.

A 32-year-old St. Cloud woman was approached by a male gunman who demanded her purse. The suspect is described as a white male, 25-30 years of age and between 5'8″-5'9″ with a thin build. He had facial hair, including a goatee, and wore a black hooded sweatshirt and dark blue jeans.

Really nice. I loved my weekday warriors but I hated taking them to the dry cleaners after practically every wear. Problem solved. Great fit and hassle free. Well done.
Really nice. I loved my weekday warriors but I hated taking them to the dry cleaners after practically every wear. Problem solved. Great fit and hassle free. Well done.
After wearing once the seat of the pants show several pulls in the fabric. I believe they are from sitting on my wallet; I have never come across a pair of pants that are so fragile. Additionally, the pants do not really deliver on the non- iron claim. This is very disappointing as this is my first pair of pants from Bonobos and I was happy with the fit. Purchase with caution.
Nice looking pants, but terrible stitching! After a day of wearing them they started to show pulls and it looks like they won't last more than a couple wears. Also, non-iron is a blatant lie. For how much these pants cost, I was expecting much better quality!
The pants fit fairly well, but by no stretch of the imagination could they be classified as non-iron or even mildly wrinkle resistant. I also have the Friday Grey version of the pants, and those do seem to wrinkle less, but that could be solely due to the darker fabric hiding some of the wrinkles. Ironing is still absolutely required for both colors if you wish to avoid looking sloppy. For frequent travelers, better pants options are available elsewhere, often at a lower cost.
I was a little hesitant about ordering pants online since I have a pretty narrow waist and skinny legs. I also have trouble finding 34 inch inseams and to get them in 2 days!! Terrific These pants make me look great! I'm a customer for life!
Bought my husband the gray pair. He was hesitant at first because they had a sort of shimmer to them fresh out of the box; but that concern quickly faded once he put them on. He's making me order two more pairs!
I have been wearing Brooks Brothers pants for years, but the fit was never quite right. Tried these out on a lark and the fit was absolutely spot on (the inseam is a BIT long as others have said). Comfortable to wear all day and a great cut, I am a fan already. I do have three complaints: 1) The fabric seems flimsy compared to other pants in the price range. Not sure if this will translate to quicker wear, but its something I am on the look out for. 2) The tan has FAR more green in it than I expected. Its not the end of the world, but something to be aware of. 3) As others have said, they do need an iron if they have been in a suit case. I WOULD buy them again, I just wish the color was closer to true on the website.
After three wears and no washes, the stitching on the seam above the back pocket had come loose. Makes me sad. Other than that, great pants.
Holy Moly - I specifically bought these pants because of the "non-iron" feature. But, "non-iron" could not be further from the truth in describing these pants! Seriously, Bonobos, you can't possibly label these pants as non-iron and NOT annoy many of your customers. Long story short, these pants arrived one day and went back the very next, specifically because they NEED to be IRONED! Weird material, odd fit....I really wanted to like these pants because I need a decent pair for causal Fridays - these are NOT the ones!
After two wears, stitching is coming undone in multiple places. Really bad quality for $100 pants.
I bought a pair in the spring, and basically they've become the only pants I like to wear for work. I had none of the problems listed in the other reviews, and back to buy two more pairs
I struggled on whether or not to post a review, and what score to give. I have all of the Weekday Warrior pants. I like the fit a lot. As long as you fluff in the dryer for a few minutes after washing and then line-dry they really do a nice job of being "non-iron". The problem, with not just the tans, but really all of the pants, is they simply do not last very long before "wear and tear" really sets in. They are very thin pants (go check out the Non-Irons from Banana Republic for a good comparison on thickness). Where this is most noticeable, for me, is in the belt loops, especially the back loops (where they may rest against a chair/seat). All of my Weekday Warrior pants rear belt loops are worn to the point where the fabric has come off. I give them another month or two before the loops actually wear through. This means I won't be able to wear them any longer. I've debated about returning all of them but it doesn't seem worth it. I have received some great use out of these, but for the price point they stick at, and compared to non-irons of other brands, I think I'll just wear them out and then toss in the trash when they're done. If you expect your pants to last longer than a year (especially at this price point) then unfortunately I cannot recommend these.
These pants are not "non-iron." I've tried the "machine wash warm - tumble dry low" and I still have to iron them every time. Not to mention they have shrunk A LOT since I first bought them - so I've given up on the whole "tumble dry low" concept and now I just hang dry them. They fit really well when I first bought them, but after only 6 months they are much too tight and I can't wear them to work anymore without feeling like my junk is on display. Need to go buy new pants now.
I really love the way these pants fit me. They are some of the most comfortable pants I've ever known. Unfortuneately, I bought a pair through the Trunk Club in the beginning of July and they are coming apart at the seams after only 5 washes. I wash them on the delicate cycle by themselves and line dry them so they won't shrink. They fit me great, but what's the point of buying a pair of $99 pants if you can only wear them 2 1/2 months?
I had four pairs of weekday warriors, and like others have noted in their reviews, the fit is good, but the quality of the pants leave much to be desired. Simply put, after a short while (meaning, less than 10 washings), these pants start to show real wear--and it's not like they're getting worn in rough and tumble environments, either--I'm a desk jockey like most who wear them. I recently purchased another pair on sale at Nordstrom's and while they are the same size as all of my other pairs, they are much tighter--and it's not because I've put on weight, either. This is an issue of quality control and quality, period. Bonobos got the fit right--but not the quality that one should expect at this price point. If this continues they're going to be one and done with customers like myself.

Whitefish: An Economic Primer
AbstractThe 2007 Ontario Court of Appeal decision in Whitefish Lake Band of Indians v. Canada (Attorney General) sets out, for the first time, a set of guidelines for establishing compensation for cases in which the Crown allegedly breached its fiduciary duties to a First Nation band. The influence and financial implications of this decision are far reaching, extending well beyond the Ontario courts. Indeed, going forward, it is difficult to imagine a case in Canada of breach of duty by the Crown in which the Crown or Plaintiff's arguments regarding compensation will fail to take account of the Whitefish decision. Nonetheless, a consensus concerning this decision has not yet emerged; all parties agree that Whitefish is important and yet, for the same set of circumstances, the financial implications of Whitefish are said to differ, not just between the Crown and Plaintiff's positions but sometimes also among the "experts". This would seem to suggest that the implications and implementation of the Whitefish guidelines are legitimately open to different interpretations. This article demonstrates that this view is wrong. It establishes that the only internally consistent and empirically grounded framework for implementing Whitefish is the standard economic model of consumption-saving decision making. Other interpretations implicitly make assumptions about individual behaviour that are at odds with known data, rational economic behaviour and common sense. The article also clarifies which historical data need to be applied to limit the range of feasible compensation, consistent with the application of the standard economic model, for any given case.

In my first attempt at a "thematic" blog post, I'm going to tackle this difficult problem. What is so bizarre about the most sensible belief of of all?
Reason. We all have it and we wouldn't give it up for anything. But I would suggest most of us don't truly understand it. In fact, in many cases our belief in the reasonableness of our own actions is the most bizarre delusion of them all.
Have you ever experienced an argument where you were absolutely certain that you were right? It happens to me all the time. Unfortunately for me, certainty is not proof-positive evidence of a rhetorical advantage, else I would not have flunked out of the debate club in grade 9. (True story.)
But there's something to this fact that two otherwise perfectly intelligent and rational people can find themselves at loggerheads on the same topic, both equally sure of their own correctness. The fact that often these two are talking past each other doesn't diminish the irrationality inherent in a debate based upon misunderstanding or deliberate dissembling. Political debates are arguably the highly publicized epitome of this phenomenon.
If one were to read the work of psychologist Daniel Kahneman–whose ground-breaking research in the 1970s and 1980s with statistician Amos Tversky won him the Nobel prize–the ubiquity of such irrationality would seem apparent. Reason then is not a perfectly tuned skill of which all humans are masters, but one which requires practice and experience.
But this question becomes of even greater concern when we consider the extent that unreason exists in our society. Irrationality, or the use of reasoning in a way which distorts empirical facts or circumvents desired outcomes, is alive and prospering in the 21st century. I suspect that one key feature of the phenomenon of unreason is the relative nature of how reasoning proceeds. It is not a process whereby humans work from a set of premises to a set of well-defined conclusions–reasoning as it is commonly practiced tends to be haphazard and fallible.
But why is the practice of reason in such an advanced society so inconsistent?
Let's consider just one situation. There is an antiquated meme which still hangs around that men tend to be more rational, whereas women tend to be more emotional. Of course, we could expose this falsehood for what it is by simply counting the relative number of men and women in prison or who get into bar fights, but this would bypass a broader point. We can also set set aside obvious problems with this perspective–such as, the fact that reason and emotion are not truly distinct, or that enormous groups like 'men' and 'women' are both filled with individuals who have a diversity of abilities and inabilities–and challenge the very heart of this myth.
One of the core reasons why is meme exists is because for a long time the reasons for a man's actions did make more sense. In a society which values the efforts of the "breadwinner" above all else, this person's desires and wishes take a prominent role: they become the assumptions and premises of all decisions. In effect, they are the structure–the frame–around which the process of reasoning occurs.
This same principle can be applied to many situations: opposition to technology, industry or social action; beliefs about foods or supernatural agents; personal ambitions and self-knowledge.
Reasoning is a valuable tool, but we do a disservice to ourselves when we fail to accept that the drivers of human belief and action, the frames for their reasoning, play a major role in determining the positions that people will take on an issue. So long as we place only a fraction of these considerations into any discussion, so long as we fail to accept the drivers of our own beliefs and those of others, we are depriving the conversation of a legitimate voice.
In effect, we are talking past each other.

After consuming the finest
men cuisine that Italy had to offer, the insatiable Lindsay Lohan went food shopping at the trendy Bristol Farms grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. Gimme some o' dat! And dat!
Clearly, Lindsay likes to shop around. It's unknown what fresh meat she picked up.
Come party with me !!!!
Damn, Lilo look just like a 50 year old woman. I glad that I don't smoke, drink and do Italian gigolos!
Looks like a normal grocery shopping load to me.
You guys have to make up your minds whether you want her to be a drugged-out freak or a normal person.
what happened to her lips?! I hope she's just exhaling..otherwise, that's collagen gone horribly awry
Jaguars Vs Patriots
Its time to PRODUCE!!!!! 17-0 Lets Go Patriots!!!!
TMZ your PATHETIC!!! Is Harvey sad she's not whacked out on drugs??? Probably Harvey supplies these starlets with drugs so he'll have a STORY! GOOD LUCK LINDSEY...stay out of trouble!
all that exercise requires a healthy nutritional balance and refortification
i think she looks healthy and beautiful
Lindsay Lohan and I will go shopping with each other. And Lindsay Lohan and I will have sex with each other totally nude on purpose in her bed in her bedroom in her home!!!!
Going shopping for food is normal, why does TMZ try to turn that into something bad or wrong? Yeah ok, so she has had her problems with drugs and alcohol, but is trying to get her life back and then stories like this come out....what is wrong with her shopping for food? Would you like it better if she were shopping for drugs? Shame on you for encouraging the world to thrive off of the misfortunes of others. She is just shopping for food just as someone in your family does. How about we turn the tables and stalk the TMZ staff with cameras and take pic's of them in their private lives....bet it ain't pretty. Challenge?
I'm a a straight female... but I would so "hit that"!
i'm glad lindsay is taking care of herself, HOWEVER, she should be using reusable shopping bags instead of plastic!
Has she got any Cheetos in there? Ooops, sorry......wrong train wreck.
Nothing bad to say about Lindsay today. But I will say that Bristol Farms is a total rip off.

Reaching the center of the room she stopped, and bent over, breathing heavily as she tried to steady her shaking hands. Sarah was hardly granted a moment to think before she heard the sound of Edward Gracey's voice behind her. She spun around, startled to see that he had arrived so quickly and yet seemed so composed. Had he been behind me this whole time?, Sarah's mind raced with confusion for she had heard no footsteps following her and it looked as if he had only just walked from the next room, not the other end of the estate. He came toward her, Sarah echoing his steps as she slowly backed away.A Dance with the Dead Chapter 8 by Boxjelly1 More Like This

He's a Republican, for starters. He describes himself as "older than dirt." And he makes no apology for an Iraq war that is especially unpopular on college campuses.
Doesn't sound like a recipe for winning the hearts of young voters. And yet John McCain has vowed to make a serious play for the 18- to 29-year-old crowd that's often identified with "Obama-mania."
Could the 71-year-old grandfather possibly have a shot?
Several polls, including a recent AP-Ipsos survey, show Democrats Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton faring far better with that age bracket when pitted individually against McCain.
But in the last month or so, there've been blips in McCain's favor. One recent AP-Yahoo News poll found that 38 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds supported McCain, while 37 percent were for Obama. When pitted against Clinton, it was McCain 43 percent, Clinton 28 percent. The margin of error was plus or minus 4.9 percentage points.
The varying outcomes may indicate the difficulty pollsters have in getting a good sample of youth, particularly when many have cell phones and no land lines. Some political scientists also note that young voters have historically been among the most "fickle" or "soft" — more willing than some to change their minds right up to the election.
Either way, McCain is seizing the opportunity to challenge the Democrats for a group that hasn't gone strongly Republican since the Ronald Reagan era.
McCain appeared on MSNBC's "Hardball" college tour with commentator Chris Matthews. He has launched his own YouTube channel and various social networking pages — though, so far, his numbers of "friends" and supporters on Facebook and MySpace are far fewer than Obama's. (Clinton is somewhere between the two.)
So far, one political analyst says, McCain has managed to avoid looking like he's trying too hard to be hip.
"He's not going to blow the saxophone on MTV or talk about boxers or briefs," says Christopher Malone, an associate professor of political science at Pace University in New York. "But that's part of the allure. There's a real dignity about him in terms of his patriotism and war record."
It means that McCain has unapologetically stuck to his support for the Iraq war, even if it's unpopular, says Joe Pounder, a McCain campaign spokesman. But he's also been willing to take on issues not necessarily associated with Republicans. Those include global warming, a top concern for many young voters.
That reputation for standing tough has resonated with some young people.
Zach Bennett, a freshman at Davidson College in North Carolina, says he admires McCain for being "honest and rebellious."
So does Matt Woods, a 26-year-old financial analyst from Tampa, Fla.
"I like to consider him a fiery little fellow," says Woods, a former chairman of the student Republican group at the University of Tampa who now considers himself "more conservative than Republican."
Though he doesn't agree with McCain's stance on the war, he says he trusts him enough to vote for him. "He seems to be a thorn in people's side, but in a good way," Woods says.
The tough-guy war hero image might not appeal to everyone, though. And some election watchers wonder if McCain's reputation for having a temper might turn off some young voters.
Chelsea Dodd, a 23-year-old Republican in Hoboken, N.J., recently met McCain.
She concedes that he lacks the charisma of Obama, or even Clinton. But, she says, he still "holds a certain appearance of wisdom." So in that sense, she thinks his age works for him.
"While I dislike how he reminds everyone he's a veteran in every speech and that he's not as personable as his rivals, he definitely has involved himself in enough international affairs to be better equipped to deal with them," says Dodd, who has family in the military, including a cousin who died in Iraq.
Pounder, McCain's spokesman, says the campaign will grow its ranks of young Republican volunteers as the campaign heats up.
The Obama campaign, too, is continuing its own outreach with a summer "fellows" program, enlisting thousands of students to work for the campaign.
"No one should assume that young voters, older voters — voters of all backgrounds — are going to side with any one candidate," says Steve Hildebrand, Obama's deputy national campaign manager. "So we certainly don't feel any ownership over young voters."
It also means they will take nothing for granted, even if Obama has already drawn young primary voters in large, sometimes unprecedented numbers.
Such outcomes have some political pundits wondering if McCain has any real chance of winning over young voters.
"He should not concede these voters, but he can't count on making big headway with them," says Steven Schier, a political scientist at Carleton College in Minnesota. He says McCain's age and the overall "unpopularity of the GOP" with young voters will be difficult to overcome.
And even some young Republicans are doubtful.
"Frankly, I don't have much faith in the majority of this country's young voters," says Laura Loffredo, who's 19 and a member of the Republican Campaign Committee at Babson College in Massachusetts. "As much as I support McCain for president, unfortunately, I don't believe its very realistic that a significant amount of young voters — particularly college students — will be persuaded into rethinking their choice of candidate."
Time will tell, says Malone at Pace University. But he gives McCain credit for trying.
"You got to hand it to him — at least at the initial part of his campaign, he has certainly not gone to his base to shore that up," Malone says, noting the Arizona senator's recent trips to New Orleans and other struggling regions of the country.
"My sense is that he's going to use the next month or so continuing to appeal to the groups Republicans have written off."

One Response to "Can McCain appeal to young voters?"
McCain is too old to be president. He is already in the early stages of dementia. I do not want a president that can't remember where he is half the time. He may press the wrong button because he can't remember the right button. That is too much power for a senile OLD man!
He is not good for America. He can bearly get around. He grunts like an old man whose time has come and gone. We need someone YOUNG and FRESH who does not have the Washington taint on them.
I ask you America, why would you want to vote for someone who has been in Washington for the last 25 or so years that has had no accomplishments, a person who was involved in the Keating scandel, the S & L bailouts, also, a man who is getting money from the federal government and continues to block other former veterans from getting the very same assistance, left his first faithful wife, who was in an automobile accident, who nearly lost her life but was still trying to do everything she could, from a hospital bed with a broken and disfigured body, to get her husband released from a prison camp as a prisoner of war for a 25 year old twit who will not reveal her tax returns and stole drugs from a charity that she was a part of. That's only some of the facts about John the Codger McCain you need to be aware of. If you don't believe what I'm saying is true, Google John and Cindy McCain. I'm sure you will learn a lot about a old man who want to be president!

"I want you everywhere, by my side and between my thighs.
I want your flowers in my hair and your name under my nails.
I want you with me, your sugar in my tea, my eyelashes on your sheets.
Write your name on me, when my heart breaks, I want it to be blinding."

Eat the damn chocolate cake, get your hair wet, love someone, dance in those muddy puddles, tell someone off, draw a picture with crayons like you're still 6 years old and then give it to someone who is very important to you. Take a nap, go on vacation, do a cartwheel, make your own recipe, dance like no one sees you, paint each nail a different color, take a bubble bath, laugh at a corny joke. Get on that table and dance, pick strawberries, take a jog, plant a garden, make an ugly shirt and wear it all day. Learn a new language, write a song, date someone you wouldn't usually go for, make a scrap book, go on a picnic, relax in the sun, make your own home video, kiss the un-kissed, hug the un-hugged, love the unloved, and live your life to the fullest. So at the end of the day, you'll have no regrets, no sorrows, no disappointments."

And we're already into July!
July has three calendars: a basic version, one for beginners, and one focusing on cardio endurance using a lot of cardio and interval workouts.
The directions are simple: find the current date on the calendar, see what workout(s) it asks for, and pick one from each section listed for that date. For example, if today it says "Arms" and "General," I'd find an arm workout and a general workout to do today.
If you'd like to write about your experiences during the month or see how others are doing, please use the tag "BoP: July". By all using this tag, we can see what others are doing during the month and send others encouragement along the way. Let's all support each other on our journeys! (If you're not on Tumblr but still use these calendars, feel free to update us on the Back On Pointe Facebook Page or the Back On Pointe Fitocracy Group! Or, post on Instagram or Twitter!)
During the month, remember that you should take as many rest days as you need, modify any workouts that you cannot do, stay hydrated, get more low-intensity cardio, and eat well.
Have fun!
p.s. Any of the calendars can be modified. If you are training for a half-marathon, feel free to count that as your cardio on cardio days. If you're sore in the arms from helping a friend move, substitute a butt workout instead. It's all about you!

Thanks to the previous reviewers I was prepared for this recipe :) I made it the night before to serve for breakfast the next day and I had all the pots I'd need ready. It does make a bit of a mess dishes-wise but it is completely worth it this 'dessert' is delicious! I would serve it as a dessert too even though it's not very sweet but after a heavy meal this would be the right touch. It worked well for breakfast too though. We all loved it and will definitely be making it again!

I want to blend my own chili powder (or is it chile powder?)
- CindyJ Feb 26, 2012 07:45 AM
I have access to a good selection of dried chiles, but I'm at a loss when it comes to combining them into a great powder. I've been using a recipe from America's Test Kitchen that has no kick (heat). Can anyone recommend a good combination of chiles for me to use (please suggest a proportion, too).
BTW, the way I've been making the powder up until now is to toast the dried chiles in the oven for just a few minutes -- until they get puffy and dry -- then cool them, de-stem and de-seed them, and pulverize them in my born-again coffee grinder. Is that the right way to do it? And what other seasonings do you add afterward, if any? (Oregano, cumin, paprika, etc.???)
Cindy: I'll leave it to others to suggest custom-blending (not my forte), but: if you want a bit more bite/heat, don't de-seed those chiles, or only de-seed maybe 1/3 or 1/2 of them. The seeds and inner membranes contain not only lots of flavors, but heat, too. If the chili (i.e. stewish/soupish) is for Mr. Pine, I'll use my dried, home-grown bhut jolokias and habaneros chiles (peppers). If the chili is for company, blistered anchos, piquillos, serranos.
According to The Whole Chile Pepper Book (DeWitt & Gerlach, Little, Brown & Co., 1990) chili powder usually contains powdered chiles, garlic, cumin and oregano. Vary the types of chile, and proportions of other ingredients, to suit your taste.
I have had great success using these two sources to create my own blend. Somewhere, I have written down what I actually do these days, but can't seem to find it at the moment:
re: smtucker
After looking at those two links, I think I need to find more of a description of the characteristics of various dried chiles so I can figure out how I'd like to combine them.
If it is to be your own chili powder blend then you really need to decide proportions.
Depending on the application the bulk chilies I use are; Anchos, Guajillos, New Mexicos or Californias. One or a combo of these makes up 80% of the total.
For smokey notes and heat Chilies Mecos, for smokey but less heat Chilies Moritas. For a darker powder, Mulotos, Passilas or Negros. To add heat use Arbols, Cascabel, Habanero or Pequins.
As for the other flavorings I add them to the dish individually rather than blended into the Chili Powder, It gives me more flexibility in adjusting the flavor. Mexican Oregano, Cumin, Black Pepper are the most commonly added. After that sometimes Clove, Allspice, Coriander, Mexican Cinnamon or Thyme depending on the application.
re: CindyJ
The Darker Chilies I listed all have a similar flavor profile each with small variations.
Earth,Smoke(but not actually smoked ) Chocolate, Coffee, Prune and Raisin. Light on the Heat and Acid.
The best chili I have made I did by taking a bag of dry arbol chilis, cutting them open, removing the seeds under running water, putting them in a little bowl with a bit of water, and microwaving them for a few minutes to soften. Then I process them in the Cuisinart with an 8-z can of plain tomato sauce and also garlic, salt, and cumin. This makes not a powder but a nice dark rich chili paste. You may want to adjust the spices by adding more salt, garlic, and cumin when you make the chili, also hot red pepper if you like it. I would add that this chili paste is mild---we don't like great heat.
re: Querencia
Wow! My experience with chiles de arbol is all heat.
How do you want to use this powder?
Santibanez in Truly Mexican suggests grinding 1 oz quantities of a variety of dried chiles, so use when you need a small amount in various dishes, e.g. arbol, cascabel, or chipotle.
For the same purpose I have cello packets from the Mexican spice rack of guajillo, pasilla and/or ancho.
But if you want something suitable for the American beef stew, I'd suggest grinding a half dozen large anchos, and some small hot ones (e.g. arbol, chipotle) to taste. Cumin and Mexican oregano are typically used in that stew as well, but there isn't much point in premixing them with the ground chiles. Same would go for onion and garlic, unless you really need a 'one dump' seasoning.
I like to use equal parts of ancho and guajillo, add toasted ground cumin and mexican oregano. I like to add fresh garlic and canned chipotle when cooking the dish.
I buy ground chiles to make my chile powder because when you grind them yourself they don't get as finely ground as the store bought ones do. They seem to be just fine slivers and not really powder. When I make a sauce from dried chiles I put them through a sieve after they come out of the food processor. That gets rid of the slivers but it is time consuming.
re: cajundave
A food mill is a good way of separating skin from pulp when rehydrating dried chiles.
A blender, even a immersion blender, might do a better job than a food processor, at pureeing chiles. But I agree that when it comes to grinding whole dried chiles, the bought stuff is finer than anything I can make at home.
Competition chili (the stew) cooks often use a custom blend of ground chiles, in part because they want consistent results.
re: paulj
I have thought about getting a food mill but I just haven't gotten around to it. I even tried my juicer, that was a big failure. I put the reconstituted blended chiles in it and the entire amount came out the pulp chute. I got maybe a half a teaspoon of juice.
I wish I knew of a better way to strain the chile mixture because it takes a lot of time.
I didn't have much luck with the blender either.
re: cajundave
Just use a molcajete. Either use it to grind them all the way or to finish off the grind after the coffee grinder. Unless you're making an absolutely huge batch it should only take a couple of minutes to finish up what you've ground. You could always then run it through however fine a screen you want to separate out any few remaining slivers. If you have one of the large Thai granite mortar and pestles I don't see why that wouldn't work also. I just use the molcajete for this because I figure the larger and rougher pestle allows me to more easily grind versus pound.
PS If you use a molcajete, make sure to season it and buy a traditional lava one versus some of the decorative models made partially of concrete or of soft rock.
is cocoa powder ever an ingredient in making any kind of authentic chili powder?
I made a batch of chili powder because of a recipe that called for chili powder. < I needed to chuck the old container so bought the chilies mentioned here on CH and proceeded. It's only ok and I think it's missing something to round it out... > could it be cocoa powder as I've read somewhere that it 'is' an ingredient in some cp's. TIA
re: iL Divo
I think the cocoa is inspired by the chocolate that is added to some moles. But keep in mind that that sort of mole hales from central Mexico, while chili has its roots in Texas.
There are also some European (Spain, Sicily) stews that include a bit of chocolate. What it contributes, when used in moderation, is a dark color, and a bitter complexity. A touch of coffee (espresso), or dark beer can do the same. The dark mild dried chiles that form the base of chili are also dark, and slightly bitter.
re: mary0201
Penzey's - they have a store on Germantown Ave in Philly if you're in the area. Otherwise, they are online. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzey...
re: mary0201
I realize this reply is a bit late, but, depending where in eastern PA you are, you might just not be looking in the right places. If you're anywhere in the vicinity of southern Chester County, or if you don't mind traveling here, there are a number of Mexican grocery stores that have huge selections of dried chiles. There's one in Toughkenamon (just outside Kennett Square) called El Cunado http://local.yahoo.com/info-29263787-..., and another, even larger, just a few miles further out in Avondale called El Sombrero, where you'll find a wall of packaged, dried chiles and cartons of packages of still-warm tortillas stacked in the middle of the store. http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-sombrero-g...

A few months ago commemorated the 10th anniversary of Grand Theft Auto III. It was by far and away one of the most epic game of its time and ushered in a new era of gameplay as well as graphical bliss. Now the game, the full game, not some watered down version, is coming to iOS and Android devices on December 15th. That said, you'll be able to control Claude using a set of on screen controls and engage in the same level of mayhem you enjoyed on the console.
But that's not all the coolness that Rockstar has in store. For $149.99 you can pick up this fully articulated 1:6 scale action figure of Claude, who comes dressed in his original attire. It also includes a Liberty City Prison-issued jumpsuit along with a complete arsenal of weapons from GTA III that include a bat, knife, grenades, pistol, sniper rifle, submachine gun, pair of fists, baseball hat, one trigger hand and assault rifle. The 12-inch figurine will see a limited production of just 1,500 pieces and as far as well can tell they're still available for purchase.

Some information I gathered while having carpal tunnel syndrome myself! I got it almost six months ago and even though it's mostly gone I can still feel it when I work too hard.
I want to point out that I have NO medical training and that you SHOULD consult a doctor if you suspect that you have CTS. I will however try to do my best to answer questions if anyone has any.
In Finland this is known as the high schooler's wrist. I had to wear a brace for writing too much during lectures and ironically my wrist got loads better when I started art school after graduating. Writing six hours straight in matriculation exams was literally a pain.

Tonight its a little dark rum on ice... Just a wee bit of time to mellow before bed.
Barber told me of a beer made in Japan and sold in a golden colored can - so after my haircut I went to local Japanese market and they had on sale "Suntory The Premium Malts Draft Beer" in golden colored cans. Not sure it is the beer the barber talked about but I picked up 2 cans and went to the cashier. The cashier requested to see my ID!!!!:lol2:
I told her I am collecting Social Security - but she insisted to see my ID - so I gave her my ID and said thank you :happy1:
So having my hair cut has made me appear years younger - to 1 person - beer was ok :D
McCarthy's started to receive significant acclaim in 2004, when Jim Murray's Whiskey Bible gave McCarthy's its Best Small Batch Whiskey in the world award and a score of 94. That same year Michael Jackson put McCarthy's in his list of The Ten Best American Whiskeys, published in both the Men's Journal (December 2004) and The Malt Advocate ( First Quarter 2005). Consistently rave reviews have continued. In his 2006 edition of The Whiskey Bible, Jim Murray wrote, "McCarthy's has earned a place among the world's elite whiskeys." His 2008 edition of The Whiskey Bible gave McCarthy's a phenomenal score of 96.

Great product for the hair. I've chemically straightened my hair and bleached it over the years so my hair is a mess and this definitely helps tame it and make it more managable and smooth. You need to be careful not to put too much on your roots or your hair will be an oily mess. I like to apply it when my hair is damp after the shower and then blowdrying it. It works great as a detangler and I would purchase this over and over again.
The reason why It doesn't get full marks is because at $50AUD a bottle, it's def. not cheap and being a glass bottle, I've dropped it in the bathroom whilst the bottle was almost full. It's also not very travel friendly and will leak.
Definitely a must by for damaged hair though, probably the best leave in treatment I've bought.
I bought this product hoping for these 'life-chaning results' others have descibed on this website. Long story short, it's really not that good, it doesn't do much, gives a little bit of shine but nothing outstanding. Dove Nutri-oils serum is way better, and it's about $5 AUD. At least give it a go before you fork out the cash for this one.

I have thin hair that likes to be at both extremes of the spectrum, if i straighten my hair (despite heat protectant) it ends up getting so dry extremely quickly and if i put even the slightest amount product in my hair by end of the day it grease city and when you have fine hair like mine the thing you want the most is a happy medium. needless to say i was so scared when my friend asked me to give this a shot and I can't thank her enough. I put this in my hair after I get out of the shower and allow it to air dry; afterwards my hair feels like silk and after only using it 5 times my hair looks and feels significantly healthier. It is expensive at $45.00 a bottle (which is made of glass which is not too portable) but you use so little of it and the payoff is so good that it is really worth the money and i would recommend this to anyone who is looking to make their hair look and feel better.
I have really long thick hair, and I find that this serum really helps it! I do not use it all the time, but when I feel my hair needs some pampering I use a small blob of this on towel dried hair, brush it in and blow dry it. Every time my hair is left extra shiny, smooth, soft and no tangles at all. I also use the shampoo and conditioner from this brand which are brilliant as well. My hair feels and looks great!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is extremely over hyped in my opinion. Sure, it leaves your hair more glossy and smooth, but what I reacted to was the ingredient list. You would think that it was the expensive natural oil in this product (argan oil) that made the difference because of the price, but you know what does it? 3 different types of silicone... and then some fragrance. THEN you get the oils.
Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Argania Spinoza Kernel Oil (Aragan Oil), Linseed Extract (Linum Usitatissimum), Fragrance (Supplement), D&C Yellow 11, D&C Red 17, Coumarin, Benzyl Benzoate, Alpha Isomethyl Ionone
And this is what most people pay for? I guess it could make a difference for damaged hair that are not used to expensive salon products, but to me this was just biosilk with a couple of drops of oil in it. In other words: It made it greasy and heavy, even if I just used a small amount in my smooth hair. They mention argan oil and linseed extract in this, but they don't mention how much of it they put in it, do they? The ratio between silicone and dyes AND oil could be 10/90 for all we know. The only thing I like about this is the sturdy glass bottle...
I would understand the hype if this was filled with expensive and healing natural oils, but this was just so not worth the price. If you really want the experience without ingredients made in a lab, then you can order natural argan oil, which is indeed the ingredient they claim make this product so fantastic. And if you have hair that needs to be smoothed down, then why not buy an inexpensive silicone based spray along with it?
I may sound harsh, and I don't hate the people who love this product or anything, but really, when I see the price compared to the ingredients? Grr....

Despite the price tag, which has increased $5 from the original $50 since this product went bananas, this really is one of my few hair product staples. I have fine, dry, frizzy long curly hair (which as you can imagine, is a nightmare to deal with) but this product really makes it shiny and less frizzy. I love how this instantly is absorbed into my hair leaving my hands free of any greasy residue, and instantly increases the shine and quality of hair + ends, and softens the hair. The effects last for a few days and when used regularly you really notice a difference. Believe the hype with this one :)
For some reasons, this product has taken the beauty world by a storm. Being a natural beauty junkie, I had to take this home with me when I stumbled upon it in Aussie.
I had high expectations since this has received quite some publicity, and raves on its performance. I hate to admit this; but this was a bit fo a let-down.
Well, yes... it does moisturise the hair and all, but what's lacking is that quick fix that automatically turns your hair manageable (you know, one of those products that instantly turns bad hair day to good hair day. Yes, there are such miraculous products!). I've came across a couple of products at the fraction of this price, that performed way better.
I would not repurchase this. It's pricey, and there are definitely drugstore hair serums out there that outperforms this.
I do not use a conditioner when I wash my hair and this product makes my hair really soft, which I like. It is on the pricey side, but then again it is very easy to apply and it does deliver.
The only thing, why I gave it only 4 lips, is because it does not penetrate the hair completely but instead the silicon wraps around it.
I love the MoroccanOil line. From an entire year bleaching my hair white-blonde, and being a natural dark brunette, I was in need of a major fix to my damaged hair! I now swear by this stuff. The Oil leaves your hair feeling silky and soft to touch without weighing it down, and apparently is a heat protectant as well - bonus! The Intense Curl Cream really enhances my waves, again with a weightless feel and look. I'm in love with the Moisturizing Shampoo & Conditioner, which I only use once a week combined with the Restorative Hair Mask.
My basic regimen with MorocconOil as as follows:
- Apply oil to damp hair
- Apply Hydrating Styling Cream (used as a leave-in conditioner) if wanting to straighten my hair
- Wrap my hair in "Hair Spa Wrap Towel"
- When I'm done my makeup routine I then blowdry my hair and the hair texture looks & feels AMAZING.
- Follow with MoroccanOil Hairspray
- If I prefer to leave my hair natural & wavy, instead of using the Hydrating Styling Cream i use the Intense Curl Cream. This transforms my dull waves to perfection!!
- Blow-dry my hair using a diffuser
- Followed with MoroccanOil Hairspray
DEEP CONDITION TREATMENT (1x week)
- Shampoo with Moisturizing MoroccanOil
- Apply Restorative Hair Mask to damp hair
- Form hair into a bun on top of my head, place plastic bag to cover all hair, secured by a hairclip
- Place Spa Wrap Towel over hair & leave in for a few hours
- Rinse out with a tiny bit of the same shampoo and itty bit of conditioner
Seriously, swear by this entire line. Every single bit of it leaves your hair feeling healthy, silky, and looks just as well! Once trying all these products I seriously have not gone to anything else!!
This is a horrible product. I was given a sample by my hairdresser who said it was pure oil and great for my bleached hair. I tried it twice it made my hair lanky but worst of all my scalp itched like mad. I should've checked the ingredients before I used it. The two main ingredients are silicones. Ugh! It took me over two weeks to get rid of the horrible itch.
