The Senate passed an amended version of a stopgap spending bill Sept. 27 that would fund federal government operations through Nov. 15, discarding a House provision that would strip funding for implementation of the 2010 health care law.
The House version would fund government operations through Dec. 15.
It remains now for the House of Representatives to vote on the measure, and members are expected to work through the weekend. In public comments, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) has indicated an unwillingness to pass a continuing resolution that includes funds for the health care law. If a bill isn't passed and signed into law before the start of the new fiscal year, Oct. 1, a partial government shutdown will occur.
Boehner and Republican leaders in the House are looking to pass a measure without having to turn to the chamber's Democrats for support. This puts the leadership in the bind of having to come up with a deal that the Senate can support while not alienating their own party's conservatives, who are intent on blocking the health care overhaul's scheduled Oct. 1 rollout of the . The law, which relies on mandatory funds, will launch even if the government has to close some operations because of a lapse in discretionary appropriations.
The Senate passed the CR along party lines 54-44, after a bipartisan vote of 79-19 to end debate on the House version.
"Far too many Republicans joined Harry Reid in giving the Democrats the ability to fund Obamacare," said Texas Republican Ted Cruz. "When the bill comes back to the Senate, when the House yet again stands for principle and fights for the American people, I very much hope that Senate Republicans will rise to the challenge"
More than half of Senate Republicans voted to end debate, with some chirping at Cruz for pursuing what they considered counterproductive tactics. In an unusually pointed exchange on the Senate floor, Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused Cruz and Utah Republican Mike Lee of holding up a Senate vote for the sake of publicity. "It just doesn't seem to me that that's in our nation's interest. Nor is it, candidly, in the interest of those who want to see good policy on the conservative side," Corker said.
A few lines of possible compromise have begun to emerge. The House could return a continuing resolution to the Senate that eliminates the tax on medical devices that is part of the 2010 law, which even Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who supported the enactment of the tax, called "stupid" this week. The House could also eliminate an exception for lawmakers and staff carved out by the Office of Personnel Management that allows congressional offices to subsidize health insurance premiums for insurance bought on exchanges. Some Republicans have suggested passing a "clean" continuing resolution and shifting the fight over defunding or delaying the health care law to the coming debate on extending the debt ceiling.
Amid the din of disagreement over the health care law, Democrats and Republicans in both chambers agreed to preserve a provision in the continuing resolution designed to help keep two key satellite programs at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration from falling behind schedule, and limiting as much as possible an anticipated gap in weather satellite coverage.

We were fortunate in that all the vendors we worked with were wonderful, however, Mario was by far the most prompt, responsive, and helpful of the bunch. Some of our music selections were pretty obscure and very specific, and he managed to include them all during the ceremony, cocktail hour and dancing. We cannot thank him enough for getting and keeping our guests on the dance floor. Everyone commented how much fun they had, and we owe that to him. Highly recommended!!!

52apolooza: Detective Comics
- Written by Aly Abbas, SaturnKnight and Brian Burchette on Thursday, September 29 2011 and posted in Reviews
Detectives! Comics! Batman! Reviews!
Welcome to 52apolooza, the Outhouse feature focusing on DC's September Relaunch. All of DC's 52 titles will be reviewed by our pool of reviewers to point out the best and worst that DC's new comic book line has to offer. To see how this book ranks among the other new DC titles, be sure to check out our 52apolooza Rankings!
Detective Comics is one of the big guns of the DCnU. Written and illustrated by Tony Daniel, the book features a new wrinkle in the battle between Batman and the Joker. How did it score? Read on and find out!
Marvel Reviewer: Aly Abbas
I would like to say something positive about this book, so here it is: The art is very good. Tony Daniels is a good artist who can convey action and emotion both with equal grace. Every page is filled with interesting visual panels and the titular hero (Batman) is drawn with extraordinary skill that manages to express both his strength and speed.
Unfortunately everything else about this book cannot be expressed positively. The writing (also by Tony Daniel) is clunky and at times absurd with such carefully crafted lines as "His modus operandi changes with the wind... ...and it's been windy in Gotham City" The plot is nonsensical and just serves to emphasize how good this comic could have been in the hands of a better writer.
This is not a title for a new reader to jump in to since nothing is really explained to any satisfaction. Everybody with access to a comic book knows who the Batman is and why he does what he does, but some background for the other characters should have been included for those who have never picked up comics before. Instead this book assumes we know who they are and why they are important to this story.
This comic has been done before by better writers. The only thing that's new is the last page which relies on shock value to ameliorate the damage done by the rest of the comic. Too little, too late by that point. I'm not reading the second issue and if you are smart, neither will you.

For years, the people have maintained an uneasy truce with the beast, but the wolf has upped the stakes by taking a human life. Hungry for revenge, the people call on famed werewolf hunter, Father Solomon (Gary Oldman), to help them kill the wolf. But Solomon's arrival brings unintended consequences as he warns that the wolf, who takes human form by day, could be any one of them.

Petplex Animal Hospital opened in November of 2003, and I have enjoyed the generous support of the Buckeye Lake community. We moved into our current facility in March of 2010 and have been excited to be able to offer our clientele improved services because of the additional space in the new hospital.I grew up in a rural community similar to Buckeye Lake and enjoyed spending time in the summer on my grandparent's farm. I have always had a variety of pets (dogs, cats, etc.) and spent a good deal of my childhood working with livestock and horses. These experiences have always drawn me toward the field of veterinary medicine and helped me appreciate the human animal bond.I am pleased that my staff and I are able to provide exceptional care for the pets in our community. As we get to know our clients it becomes more and more obvious that the pets we see are more like members of family and that when they hurt, we hurt too. We always try to treat our patients with the same care and concern that we would want for the loved ones in our lives.
- Dr. Jessica Williamson, DVM – My name is Dr. Jessica Williamson. I am a veterinarian here at Petplex Animal Hospital. I am not a native Ohioan, but have been living and working here for 12 years. I moved to Ohio after graduating from Georgetown College in Kentucky to attend veterinary school at Oho State University and never left! I made the decision to become a veterinarian at a very early age. I always wanted a career where I could use science and problem solving, all while helping others. Veterinary medicine is a great combination of those skills. I started volunteering and soon was working as an assistant at a small animal hospital when I was only 13 years old. I also worked at an equine specialty hospital while in college in Kentucky. All of those experiences helped me complete my goal of attending veterinary school, and ultimately helped me to decide what my veterinary niche would be. I've been a full time veterinarian at Petplex since the spring of 2007. I do soft tissue surgery, dental surgery and medical appointments for companion animals. Behind the scenes, I work with our Lead Technician to make sure there we can offer the most efficient and educated technical staff. As the Manager of Veterinary Services, I also formulate our medical protocols to insure that we remain on the forefront of veterinary medicine and are able to provide pets with the best care possible. I have worked very hard to make Petplex a paperless practice – something good for the environment and great for the care of pets. I feel strongly that every pet should receive the best preventative care available so that they can live the longest, healthiest lives imaginable. I encourage spaying and neutering, heartworm testing and prevention, and vaccinations against deadly diseases. I am dedicated to continuing education and am always reading and learning new things about pet health. I enjoy finding new ways to educate clientes and make them feel like real partners in their pets' health care. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, Lee, since 2001. We have two sons; a preschooler who is into karate and video games, and a toddler who loves graham crackers and cuddling. We also have three dogs. Terry is an 11 year old Jack Russell Terrier who can most often be found snoozing in a basket of laundry. Butchie is a 10 year old Beagle who is never tried of searching for one bite of food she might have missed. Briscoe is a 7 year old Boston Terrier mix, doing his best to bark loud enough for our neighbors to hear. We also have a 3 year old guinea pig, Betty. When I'm not at work, you can find me reading, sewing, playing, singing, cooking, and hanging out with my family. I hope you'll make Petplex your veterinary hospital. We are always excited to meet new pets and their people!

- Dr. Libby Carstensen, DVM - I am a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine. I also attended OSU for my undergraduate education in Animal Sciences. I have been in Columbus for a little over seven years and hope to make it my home for good. I grew up north of here on the shores of Lake Erie, in a speck of a town called Bono, OH. I spent most of my childhood riding horses and following my parents around at work, dreaming of the day that I could follow in their footsteps. They are both veterinarians. This is truly my ideal job. As a veterinarian, I am interested in internal medicine, soft tissue surgery and orthopedic surgery. I was recognized for Excellence in Neurology and received the highest Latin Honors for academic excellence while in school. I have the knowledge, experience and passion necessary to practice the highest quality of medicine – the quality of medicine your pet deserves. My own pets keep me on my toes when I am at home. My cats, Ivy and Rumple, have an uncanny fondness for idle water glasses, knocking over potted plants and stealing hair bands. They are both rescues – Ivy from a fishing net in a Lake Erie marina and Rumple from an abandoned cardboard box. I feel so lucky that they have brought their meschief into my life! In my free time, I am an avid outdoors enthusiast. I enjoy running, hiking, swimming, biking, sand volleyball and parkour. My boyfriend is in the process of opening a parkour and athletics gym – Horizons Movement – so we spend a good deal of time planning and researching how best to run a gym. I would greatly appreciate suggestions for hiking, biking or running trails you enjoy in and around central Ohio. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

I want a set system for which:
- Every set contains exactly 5 natural numbers.
- For any given natural number $1\le k\le n$ there are 3 sets in the system whose symmetric difference yield the singleton $\{k\}$ (in other words, every element besides $k$ which appears in the sets appears in exactly 2 of them, and $k$ itself appears once or three times.
- The system contains $o(n)$ sets (asymptotically less than $n$ sets).
The sets can contain natural numbers larger than $n$ if this helps.
Note that without condition 3 the construction is not difficult: $\{1,2,3,4,5\},\{2,3,6,7,8\},\{4,5,6,7,8\}$ are 3 sets whose symmetric difference yields $\{1\}$, and so a solution with exactly $3n$ sets can be constructed.
Also, if there is an easy way to extend such constructions for sets of size larger than 5 and symmetric difference of an odd number different than 3 I'd be happy to hear about it, but I'm not sure that even for my parameters there is a solution.

"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."
Revelation 4:11
The older we get, it seems we are paying more attention to the words we're singing at church. At least, that's been the case for me.
For example, just this past week I was clued in to what I had really been singing all of these years in the second verse of "Holy, Holy, Holy" …
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Who was, and is, and evermore shall be.
Thankfully, someone in my Bible study group mentioned this lyric while we were studying in the book of Revelation. She, too, had never thought about what these words meant until having a light-bulb moment after reading in Revelation 4:9 …
Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne, and worship him who lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: "You are worthy our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."
I did a little further study to see who these elders might be and what their crowns could represent. Some commentators and theologians think they could be a heavenly governing council. Others offer that they might represent redeemed saints of the twelve tribes in the Old Testament and the twelve apostles in the New Testament who rule in God's kingdom. I say, whoever they are, they are ascribing all glory to God as their sovereign ruler.
But why are they wearing crowns? Well, they most likely signify victory—like those given to victors in Greek games—as opposed to those of kings which denote supreme authority. They can also be seen as rewards after judgment of their lives lived on earth. And by laying their crowns before the throne, the elders offer what God has given them right back to him. It's all his. And they show that he is worthy of our total worship and praise.
In Colossians 1:16, we read:
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
But what does it mean to worship God like this down here on earth? How do we wear the blessings he has given us as our golden crowns? Are we prepared to give them up—to cast these things down at his feet—as we worship him?
Let's remember today that to him alone should we give all glory. May he help us all to loosen our grips and live lives that give back to him all that he has given to us.
Intersecting Faith & Life:
How would you look at the blessings in your life (your friends and family, your possessions, the intangibles) if they each had a "Property of God: If Found Please Return" type of tag on them? Would it make a difference?

UNOSAT Rapid Mapping Activations Continue to Increase
A recent review of UNOSAT activities has revealed a substantial increase in requests directed to UNOSAT by the humanitarian community. The Humanitarian Rapid Mapping service of UNOSAT, launched in 2003, has been created to meet the demand of OCHA and other humanitarian agencies and NGOs part of the IASC (the Inter-agency Standing Committee on humanitarian coordination hosted by the UN) for rapid mapping and satellite derived analysis in wake of disasters and complex emergencies.
Thanks to predictable donor funding coming from Norway, Sweden and Denmark, UNOSAT has been able to meet 100% of this demand since 2007. Since the inception of the service, UNOSAT has performed 173 activations, with a record of 46 in 2007 and 34 already in 2009.
Significantly, UNOSAT has registered a steady increase of interventions in crises due to conflict and complex emergencies over the last two years passing from 6% during 2003-2007 to 26% in 2008-2009).
UNOSAT is used by the UN system as a main channel to request the triggering of the International Charter Space and Major Disasters, which provides free satellite data in case of large scale natural disasters. One quarter of all UNOSAT activations occur within the context of the International Space Charter, which shows the importance of this arrangement designed by several national space agencies and ESA to help the UN system respond to humanitarian emergencies.

As I said on the other blog and will hastily copypasta here — it's been a long, busy, wacky year (or it was in 2013) but one of my resolutions for this one was to finally allow myself more time to put together more updates here. Here are a few articles of interest you can expect in upcoming months, starting February! Hooray.
Hope everyone had a happy, non-too-dysfunctional Valentine's day.
Spectacular Spider-Man #200.
DAN SLOTT (W) • GIUSEPPE Camunicoli (A)
Cover by MARCOS MARTIN
• A perfect jumping on point as The Green Goblin returns…and Spider-Man is nowhere to be found!
Well, well, well. It was only a matter of time! Now, since the solicit doesn't say Norman Osborn I think there's a possibility the Green Goblin could be someone else this time (there's a pool of at least four other potential candidates) but also that it's quite fair to assume… probably.
Regardless; something to look forward to in May 2013.
Amazing Spider-Man #31 inks & first appearances of Harry and Gwen. Steve Ditko.
Spectacular Spider-Man #200 inks. Sal Buscema.
A commission by artist Sal Buscema.
"A visit to Petey's pad" indeed. Interesting decor (college students notably keep bowls of fruit in their apartments, it's true) to be sure, but don't patronize us, Stan Lee, what's not to interest us about Harry's room?
But then I suppose "no one caring about Harry" would have never reached the memetic status it has by now. Gosh Harry, get out of Petey's pad that your father owns and Peter's not paying you any rent money for! This guy.
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #4, Stan Lee & Larry Lieber.
Well, ouch.
(From ASM#599 and ASM#122)
Poor Harry, although in ASM #122 Peter is not in his right mind or okay, being this the aftermath of Gwen Stacy's death…
That was mere hours after Gwen's death, if I remember rightly. Poor Peter. (Poor everyone. *wibble*)
It is completely, 100% understandable that Peter would react that way, but it's also arguably one of the worst things he's ever done. And that's why I love this scene so much.
Sergei Kravinoff: Hunter. Marksman. Strategist. Giant jerkface.
And I quote.
Or paraphrase.
Spider-Man: Blue #6, Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale.
Harry: I didn't realize you and my dad knew each other well enough that he'd ask about you.
Peter: Harry…
Harry: Hey. No big.
Peter (Narration): I wanted to be happy for Harry, Gwen. His father was finally out of the hospital and yet…
You have to give Harry one thing: he manages to be both passive-aggressive and disarming at once like a real professional. Say what you will, Norman, but the boy's a born businessman.
Spider-Man: Blue #6, Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale.

Let me start here: THIS PLACE HAS BED BUGS. If you love being bitten by bed bugs, then this is the place for you. The last night of my four night stay at the Qupqugiaq, I was moved to a different room than I had previously been in. I slept in shorts and a t-shirt. When I woke up, the all of the skin that wasn't protected by my clothing was covered in bug bites. I'm not talking about a few. DOZENS OF BUG BITES. All over my arms, my legs, my neck. It was absolutely revolting. That really should be all you need to know, but there's more. Other highlights of the Qupqugiaq Inn: My second night there, I got up in the morning and went to the shared bathroom to shower and get ready for work. When I was finished, I returned to my room and found that my key card was not working. I couldn't get back into my room. I went to the front desk, and there was no one there. I called their posted "emergency number" but no one answered. All of my stuff (my shoes, my car keys, my purse) was locked in my room. So I had to wait in the lobby for someone to show up. It was over TWO HOURS before anyone from the staff arrived. By that point I was an hour and a half late to work. What kind of a hotel doesn't have anyone on the premise until 10:15? Why isn't there someone to pick up their so-called "emergency line"? What if there had been a genuine emergency? What if I had gotten locked out after a trip to the bathroom at 3:00 am? It just goes to show how little regard they have for their guests. I would never, never stay at this disgusting pit of an inn ever again. If I could give it zero stars, I would. Unless you're some kind of entomologist who wants to study bed bugs, STAY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

They are making improvements , and upgrading after 24 years servicing travelers. I have read the bad reviews that people posted on the renovation and thought- wow- I wonder what they will say when they return and find it to be the most enchanting inn they have ever seen before. I do mean "enchanting" , there are spiral hallways, curves and angles that surround the whole inside and outside of Qupqugiaq Inn. Lonely Planet actually did stay here, not just write some review on them. It is true that if you really want affordable , quality and conscious travel it would have to be Qupqugiaq Inn. Jen is the manager and she is helpful, funny and a great host. I really love this place and it is hard to say good bye, so I hope to return when the first ever PODS in the Northwest Hemisphere are built and climb into one!! Thanks everyone at the Q for our stay. Respectfully , The Wilsons from North Carolina.

We liked this quirky, unconventional yet heartwarming inn. Loved the curved halls and the woodwork. Cherished the decent regard for all humanity displayed here.

Republicans don't even acknowledge that racism exists. There were a couple of new stats in the paper last week. One showed how blacks were treated way worse than whites by mortgage lenders. The other was about Haley Barbour, the governor of Mississippi who just pardoned like 200 prisoners as he was leaving office. Two thirds of the prisoners he pardoned were white, even though the prison population in Mississippi is two thirds black. And another study found that the odds would be ONE TRILLION TO ONE that that would be coincidental.
And what is the Republican solution to these outrageous inequalities? There isn't one. And that's the point. Denying racism is the new racism. To not acknowledge those statistics, to think of that as a 'black problem' and not an American problem. To believe, as a majority of FOX (News) viewers do, that reverse-racism is a bigger problem than racism, that's racist.

Defense: 95 A
I think this defense is trending up. They seem to get better every week. The two interceptions, one by first round pick Kenny Vaccaro and the other by the Saints big free agent pickup Keenan Lewis, shows the league that they meant business when they said they wanted to fix the secondary. The Saints didn't always have consistent pressure but allowing only 187 passing yards, 86 rushing yards, and one touchdown is a great defensive outing.
Junior Galette has been doing great but I feel that in this game he really got some great pressure on Carson Palmer. Cameron Jordan, though, came away with two sacks to Galette's one. It was nice to see Glenn Foster back on the field. It was even better that he helped create another sack. Finally, holding Larry Fitzgerald to five catches for 64 yards and Michael Floyd to 4 catches for 49 yards is certainly something to look at. Palmer did a great job of spreading the ball, but minimizing the impact of the offense's two best players was a great job by the Saints defense.

The Dallas Stars decided to hold onto their No.14 selection and select defenceman Julius Honka out of the Western Hockey League's Swift Current Broncos. Honka is highly regarded as an offensive defenceman with an incredible knowledge of the game. This is a great pick by Nill. He has seemingly addressed the need for more puck-moving defenceman within the prospect pool. Here are what some experts had to say about Honka.
"Small defender who plays much bigger than his size. Fearless, and will engage anyone to get control of the puck.
Easily the best PP QB out of the WHL and plays a solid all-around game with a careful approach to his defensive responsibilities. He is an elite offensive talent based on his reads on the ice. Moves well laterally, and is able to close because of his feet. He handles physicality on the smaller North American ice well. Battles for pucks in his end and side-steps checks. If a team is in need of an offensive defenceman ,they ignore the fact he is under-sized and take him in the first. In junior, he was pretty solid defensively, so there is indication with strength and bulk he makes a place for himself." –Bill Placzek–
"Played a key role for Finland at the 2014 World Junior Championship. Excelled in his first North American season with 16 goals and 56 points in 62 games; good awareness and excels on the power play." –Mike Morreale–
"An impressive offensive defenseman, he moves the puck very well and has the ability to put up good point totals at all levels. Is an asset on the power play, due to sound hockey sense and a good point shot. Will need to add significant strength, since he doesn't own ideal size for a National Hockey League defenseman. Also needs to continue to work on his play without the puck, especially his defensive-zone coverage." –The Hockey News–

Access "Too many SAN islands"
This article is part of the Vol. 2 No. 9 November 2003 issue of Expanding SANs: How to scale today's storage networks
Four years ago, when business unit managers at the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Financial Group in Toronto began to understand the advantages of networked storage, storage area network (SAN) deployments at the $15.5-billion multinational financial services company gained momentum faster than Lance Armstrong accelerating down the Alps. Putting its new gear to the test In 1999, officials at Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) learned the hard way that compatibility testing is essential. The company set out to deploy its first storage area network (SAN), a tape SAN. Without first checking its tape vendor's compatibility matrix, RBC chose to use what Harold Durnford, the manager of systems-managed storage, now calls an "off-brand host bus adapter." But when Durnford's team attempted to put the shiny new SAN into production, it started experiencing throughput problems and frequent crashes. "We'd have a failure every couple of days," says Durnford. "It got to the point that we'd have scopes and tracers running constantly. The only solution turned out to be to change the ... Access >>>

I am, of course, a huge fan of baking from scratch. I love balancing flavors and textures, putting just the right amount of dark cocoa in with the perfect measure of coconut to make something rich and lovely and amazing that makes people say, "Really? This is gluten-free?"
But let's face it: most of us work full-time. Either we work full-time in the business world, or we work full-time taking care of kiddos, or we work extra full-time doing both. Often baking from gluten-free scratch just isn't practical.
This is why I sing the praises of Pamela's mixes. They. Are. Amazing.
Their brownie mix is tasty, their chocolate chip cookie mix is the best that I've had, and their chocolate cake is light, fluffy, and utterly addictive.
Yet it's Pamela's Baking and Pancake Mix, along with Pamela's Bread Mix that really make my heart happy. Why? Because you can use them to cook about a million different things. Pizza crust. Cinnamon rolls. Coffee cake. Pesto dinner rolls. Deep chocolate-y brownies. Fresh ravioli, for crying out loud.
You can find the whole Pamela's online recipe vault here.
Sadly, Pamela's prepackaged products are not so good. The cookies are generally really dry, and kinda remind me of the hard tack we used to have to eat when I did short backpacking trips in junior high. It sounds good when you're really hungry, but in reality it's pretty icky. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
Nevertheless, Pamela's baking mixes are still first-rate. Like, write home to your momma first rate. Fo' real.
I made Pamela's cinnamon rolls about two weeks ago. My husband and I scarfed them down in a matter of days. I made them again at the end of the week. We scarfed them again. Once I let on to my husband how much butter (a whole heckuva lot) was in them, we agreed that I could only make them once a month. It's little protection against the addiction that is these cinnamon rolls.
Are you intrigued yet? Are you running out the door to buy yourself some Pamela's? If not, check this out:
Not the prettiest cinnamon rolls in the world, but trust me, they taste like pastries from heaven.
Below is my modification of Pamela's "Cinnamon Swirls" recipe. Yum, yum, yum.
Pamela's Ridiculously Tasty and Cinnamon-y Cinnamon Rolls
1 bag (3-1/2 cups) Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix
yeast (enclosed packet)
2 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 cup warm water, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
1 bag (3-1/2 cups) Pamela's Gluten-Free Bread Mix
yeast (enclosed packet)
2 sticks unsalted butter
3/4 cup warm water, divided
1 teaspoon sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1 stick unsalted butter
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1/3 cup pecans, chopped (optional)
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla
3 T. water
Dissolve yeast with 1/2 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
With a wire whisk in a stand mixer, cream butter. Reserving the 1/4 cup of bread mix set aside for rolling, add the bread mix to the butter. Mix to combine on low. Add dissolved yeast and continue mixing. Add remaining warm water 1 tablespoon at a time just until dough starts to come together. Lightly flour a sheet of parchment paper with some of the reserved bread mix. Place dough on the parchment, sprinkle lightly with left over mix and cover with second sheet of parchment. Roll dough to a thickness of 1/4 inch in a rectangle shape. Remove top parchment paper.
To make the filling, cream butter with sugars and cinnamon. Spread or distribute filling evenly on the rolled out dough. Spread nuts (if using) evenly over filling and press down with fingertips.
Starting with the longest edge of the dough, peel dough off paper and roll to form a log. Pinch edge of dough closed to form a cylinder.
Lightly oil an eight-inch round cake pan. Use a sharp knife to slice log into individual pieces, each about 1-1/2 to 2-inches wide (you should end up with 7-9 rolls). Lay pieces in pan with the swirls showing.
Allow dough to rise for 75 minutes at room temperature. Bake in preheated 350° oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until golden brown. Let rest in pan for 10 minutes.
Glaze hot swirls with icing. Devour them all. Repeat! :)

Social Security benefits. My two cents. COLA INCREASE Maintain COLA increases. If there are any expenses not included (medical, gasoline, etc.) start including them.

Apply that amount to all recipients regardless of the gross amount […]
