Solomon's Gourmet Cookies
Just Like Grandma's—If Grandma Is Frieda Solomon
We remember an America where no one spoke of take-out, dads carved turkeys and moms baked wonderful goodies every week. Daughters spent enough time away from celebrity magazines to share the joy of baking, and you could look forward to the school or church bake sale, knowing there were butter-laden treasures to be found. Mrs. A's apple pie, Mrs. B's brownies and banana bread, Miss C's chocolate chip cookies, and Grandma D's devil's food cake were made by women who knew nothing of baking with boxed powders that called for mixed in oil or margarine, or of frosting cakes with a product from a can. Even if you didn't bake, you would ask them for the recipe.
If this sounds like an era that passed you by, or one that has gone with the wind of progress, take heart: there are still a few practitioners of the old craft of home baking in pockets of America. Some of them even are in business, fighting for your right to enjoy traditional delights of great cookie, cake and brownie recipes. They hold out against the high rents, low margins, long hours and back-breaking work that have driven their colleagues into more sensible professions—such that when an old-fashioned-style bakery opens, it is generally considered a cultural "event."
By 1994, 51 years after Frieda first shipped cookies to Aaron overseas, she turned over her recipes to her daughters; ultimately, in honor of Frieda and Aaron, Solomon's Gourmet Cookies was formed.
The Wisdom of Solomon
Solomon's calls their products "elegant gourmet cookies, brownies and bars." It's all semantics, but in the interest of journalism—how "elegant" is a brownie, chocolate chip cookie, or oatmeal bar compared to complex pastries?—we would call them a line of casual standards, elegantly turned out. If you're a good baker, these are recipes that you would bake as treats for your family—not the fancy wares people expect for desserts. That being said, they are executed as beautifully as any artist could paint them and packaged in a simple but sophisticated presentation that makes the whole indeed more "elegant" and "gourmet" than the sum of the parts.
In fact, Solomon's does not aim to turn heads by being super-rich, over-the-top, complex, sweet or nouvelle. They do what grandmas have always done best: take butter, sugar, chocolate, and other simple, quality ingredients, and mix them into wholesome, familiar, uncloying yummies. They are sweets that are not too sweet.
While all are good, we've asterisked our favorites. There are the familiars:
Solomon's makes other items too, but we left them for another day: if anyone reading this wants to send us a gift, we'd like to try the mandel bread and the Muriel Roth bar (a friend of Mrs. Solomon?). If you live in the Chicago area, there are many other treats you can buy at the bakery that aren't available online.
We had a feeling when we first saw the photography on Solomon's website—among the most beautiful we have seen in our thousands of hours of looking at food producers' websites—that their baked goodies were going to be delish. But like a blind date with a guy or gal who sends fabulous photos and a great dossier, you never know what you're going to get until you meet and spend an evening together. Solomon's was the tastiest of first dates...and seconds...and thirds....

Shoppers who stroll down Erie Avenue may notice something new in town. What was once The Variety Shop is now under new management as The Persnickety Gift Boutique. Rebajean Stone was a Variety Shop vendor and now owns Persnickety.
"I came here as a vendor last November, and in August I took it over to run it myself," Stone said. "Partially because I am disabled, I thought this would be a chance that I could get out and actually do something. I've got wonderful women who work here and help keep this place going, and it's working."

How flexible are the arms of Lego minifigs?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
LEGO® Answers is a question and answer site for LEGO® and building block enthusiasts. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Within the shoulder socket, a minifigure's arm has full 360° rotation, however the hand needs to positioned correctly to allow it pass the head, and it puts some strain on the joint:
Note that most accessories will block this rotation.
As the arms are made of the same ABS as standard LEGO bricks they aren't flexible, and so without heating (and permanently changing them) they don't bend or flex.

It didn't take long for Jamal Mayers to try to settle the score with Raffi Torres for his head shot to Marian Hossa during the playoffs.
It also didn't take more than 18:25 for the Blackhawks to take a commanding 4-0 lead in Phoenix. In the most complete effort of the road trip the Hawks smoked the Coyotes 6-2.
Sometimes scores are misleading but last night the Blackhawks were as good and the Coyotes as bad as the scoreboard reflected. The Coyotes were careless and took bad penalties while chasing the Hawks for much of the game. In his second start versus Chicago goal tender Mike Smith wasn't on top of his game. Smith looked tentative and bewildered. The Coyotes aren't used to having a bunch of goals scored against them.
Smith has allowed 12 goals versus the Hawks in two games this year. Actually it is in less than two full games as Smith was replaced by backup Jason LaBarbera at the 15:08 mark of the middle frame. The 12 goals scored on Smith, in less than two full games, is the same total he surrendered to the Blackhawks in six playoff battles last spring.
Ray Emery got his second victory versus the Coyotes this season. He was much better than in his first performance in the dessert. Emery is playing his best hockey as a Blackhawk and appears to be moving more smoothly from post to post. Maybe the extra time off may have benefited his surgically repaired hip. Whatever the reason, Emery is in top form.
A great sign for Blackhawk faithful is there have been contributions from every line.
The third line has been really working well together. Andrew Shaw may not be a prototypical NHL center but he does have some hockey smarts. Shaw has a way of making opponents look bad and can embellish penalties without getting called for diving. Shaw's best attribute is he can play a dump and chase game, which is exactly how he notched an assist on Viktor Stalberg's goal. Shaw's other linemate Bryan Bickell has been dialed in and also put one past Smith. The line has worked the boards while keeping the game simple and it has paid dividends.
The big guns led the charge again.
Patrick Kane scored two power play goals during 5 on 3 advantages and was also credited with an assist. Patrick Sharp may have gotten warmed up as he notched three assists and Jonathan Toews chipped in a beautiful goal to go along with an assist. Hossa hardly saw any contact and recorded an assist.
The start of this season, including the current long road trip has been storybook like for the Blackhawks. Out of a possible 22 points they have captured 20, which is a NHL high.
Al's Shots
It wasn't as if Mayers dominated Torres in their fight but it sure fired up the Blackhawks and seemed to unhinge the Coyotes. After the fight, Phoenix was whistled for six straight penalties. On the night the Coyotes committed a total of 12 penalties.
The Hawks will conclude their long road journey in Nashville on Sunday night. In many ways this could be the most challenging game of the trip.
The Predators have allowed only three goals in the last four contests. They are riding a four game winning streak, but will play in Minnesota on Saturday night before returning home to face the Hawks.
Kane's 18 points is currently second best in the NHL.
Five different Hawks recorded points versus the Coyotes.
Hawks were 2 of 8 on the power play.
Chicago outshot Phoenix 33-24 and also won 54% of faceoffs.
The Coyotes were credited with 32 hits compared to 12 for the Blackhawks. That's a bit misleading because the Coyotes were chasing the puck for almost the entire game.
I will be back on Monday to share some thoughts.

Compostable Packaging Test: Whole Foods Deli Containers
Today marks the second installment of our new Packaging the Future series, which explores a greener future for packaging design, brought to you by Eco Chick founder and green journalist Starre Vartan!
Because I've heard mixed messages about the compostability of packaging labelled biodegradable, I figured the only way to figure out what works and what doesn't is to stop listening to rumors and try them out myself. My first experiment was with a Whole Foods deli container, simply because it was at hand; I shop at the supermarket in both Manhattan and in Darien, CT where the chain has recently opened its newest store. In an ideal world, I would make my own pasta, bean and whole grain salads every Sunday and store them in reusable containers for the week. In reality, I'm not the world's most enthusiastic cook and I regularly buy the salad-bar concoctions so that I have healthy, fresh food when I come home hungry at 9pm at night.

Plastic food containers are not recyclable in New York City. BeGreen's fiber containers are not only compostable, but recyclable anywhere and hold up well to sauce heavy foods.
FYI…most sustainable fiber wares are made in China…due to a country wide styrofoam ban, their factories are ahead of the game.
We proudly carry BeGreen Packaging and ship nationwide. http://is.gd/gWGdP

I found your article online. I work for Be Green Packaging, the company that manufactures these containers. We manufacture well-designed, high quality, industrial and food-grade, tree-free, GMO free, compostable packaging.
Our products can be found in various departments of Whole Foods Markets such as deli (sushi), meat, poulty, retail, and the salad bar. Our products are easy to recognize on the shelf as they are all the same natural brown color as the one's you used for your composting experiment.
We try to be price neutral with plastic and polystyrene products.
We appreciate you taking the time to test the compostability of our products and write about them! We would also like to let you know that Ashley from Whole Foods Market must have been misinformed. Our products do not contain bagasse, corn starch, tapioca root, or asaparagus! They do contain bulrush and bamboo however.
Our mission is on par with yours and we hope to help rid the packaging industry of single use, non-renewable (petroleum) based, non-recyclable and non-compostable containers.
For more information about Be Green Packaging LLC, please visit our website at: http://www.begreenpackaging.com
You can also email us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
Thanks again for your interest and enthusiasm for compostable packaging!

Plastic is less expensive. And recyclable.
Molded fiber (bagasse, bamboo, rice husk, etc.) is bidegradable & compostable…but not necessarily recyclable. However, exposure to sunlight, moisture, and soil will rapidly convert these containers into humus. It\'s good stuff! But made in China.

There's def a difference between a hot compost, or a commercial composting facility and what happens in the random backyard composting bin (especially mine! which is a bit haphazard). In my mind, all packages should eventually break down even without commercial composting since there's so much litter (which would be reduced if it broke down naturally) and would also solve the problem of the Garbage Gyres- if packaging biodegraded it wouldn't be choking the ocean and our waterways as it does now.
August 5, 2010 at 1:16 pm
Cool test- I tried the same with the Sun Chips 'compostable' bag in my heap for weeks but without similar results. It still looked like a chip bag with out being in a hot compost bin.

People on the Go of Calvert will host the second annual "Camp out for Calvert" homelessness overnight event to benefit Project ECHO Inc.
The event will take place Saturday, Sept. 21, from 1 p.m. through Sunday, Sept. 22, until 10 a.m. at Kings Landing Park in Huntingtown. Participants will raise funds for Project ECHO by having others sponsor them to experience the night outdoors. Individuals, families and groups are welcome to attend.
The goal of the event is to "raise awareness of homelessness in the community … so the youth would understand what a homeless person has to do to withstand the elements," Trisha Gipson, executive director of Project ECHO, said. "Once you are in survival mode, you have to be creative to survive the elements."
Project ECHO had put on the event previously, but this year, People on the Go is taking over. The organization is a self-advocacy group for people with mental and physical disabilities. The goal is to get out and prove that people with disabilities are not limited and that their capabilities are endless, Gipson said.
Gipson said while many people view homelessness as an effect of alcoholism or substance abuse, mental health can play as big a role as physical health.
Camp-out activities will include a Superhero Challenge, corn hole, volleyball, ladder ball, musical entertainment and s'mores around the campfire. There is a $1 per person charge to attend and participants are encouraged to raise as many donations as possible to benefit Project ECHO's Prince Frederick homeless shelter.
Registration deadline is Sept. 13. Participants must bring their own food, non-alcoholic beverages and charcoal for the on-site grill, in addition to camping gear. Kings Landing will provide gated security within the park and restrooms, but not showers. Individuals may be grouped into teams of no more than five campers and one leader. Organizations may have multiple teams.
"What is special to us is that [the event] shows we have an importance in the community and we like to help other people," Connie Willoughby, a representative from The Arc of Southern Maryland and People on the Go, said. "We want to focus on the abilities for people with disabilities, and it's nice to get out there in the community and work alongside other people in the community."
Willoughby said this is a chance for people, who may never have had the opportunity to go camping before, to enjoy a safe social environment and meet others. She hopes participants leave knowing individuals with disabilities are assets to the community.
"One of the core ideas is that this could happen to you," Willoughby said. "You can't guarantee you will always have what you have, so let us support each other and enjoy working with others in the community for a common cause."
Christmas in April seeks applicants for home improvements

Blues Festival announces designated driver program
Chesapeake Bay Events Inc., in cooperation with Bob Hall, Budweiser, Sheriff Mike Evans and the Calvert Alliance Against Substance Abuse (CAASA), will join together in the creation of a Designated Driver Program for the first Southern Maryland Blues Festival on Sept. 7 and 8 at the Calvert County Fairgrounds. The program will reward those abstaining from consuming alcohol for the day with free water and sodas and the chance to win prizes.
Patrons will be able to participate at the festival by signing a pledge to stay sober for the day and get those driving with them home safely. They will then receive a wristband that allows them to drink water and sodas free all day, a press release states.
As part of the program, the festival will stop the sale of alcohol before the last act and post the telephone number of local taxi cab companies and others offering a ride home.
There also will be a Crafter Village, Kids Zone, a variety of local food, beer and craft beer tasting by local hosted breweries.

Tickets are available in advance until Sept. 5 at http://somdblues.org/index_files/tickets.htm or at the gate the day of the event.

County to hold hazardous waste collection day
The Calvert County Department of Public Works, Division of Solid Waste, is hosting a household hazardous waste collection day on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mt. Hope Convenience Center at 104 Pushaw Station Road in Sunderland. The event will give Calvert County residents the opportunity to safely dispose of hazardous substances free of charge.
During the collection day, a licensed contractor will collect household hazardous waste for proper disposal. Collection is limited to Calvert County residents only and proof of residency is required. Waste from commercial businesses is prohibited, a press release states. The service ensures that Calvert County meets all state and federal requirements with regard to the safe collection of household hazardous waste.
Hazardous waste commonly found in the home includes materials such as oil-based paints, pool chemicals, solvents, fertilizers and other items usually labeled with "DANGER," "POISON," "TOXIC" or "WARNING." These items should be separated from regular household trash and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way, according to the release. Latex paint, however, is not hazardous and may be thrown out with regular trash once it has dried and will not be accepted. Small amounts of latex paint can be left to dry in an open can. Larger amounts can be combined with oil absorbent, kitty litter or paint hardener until it is hard.
County residents may drop off trash, recyclables and certain other materials at customer convenience centers and the Appeal Landfill, including motor oil and oil filters, antifreeze, propane tanks, fire extinguishers, batteries, electronics and various types of light bulbs, the release states.
For more information, call 410-326-0210, or go to www.co.cal.md.us/hazardouswaste for a full listing of materials accepted.
Dialogue project to focus on diversity
The Maryland Humanities Council and the Maryland Commission on Civil Rights will launch a 2013 Southern Maryland Public Dialogue Project, "Defying Definitions," this fall. This interactive community engagement program will employ a variety of strategies to engage Marylanders in an ongoing discussion of identity, stereotypes and diversity.
"Defying Definitions" is a public conversation and community engagement program that challenges participants to reflect on how they perceive others, how they are perceived by others and what they understand about themselves. The project uses the humanities (film, literature, photography, poetry, etc.) to bring people together for dialogue, both online and in community settings, with the goals of breaking down stereotypes, reducing conflict and modeling civil and meaningful discussion, a press release states. The program will engage participants both in person at dialogue events and via www.DefyingDefinitions.org, an online platform designed by Cake and Eat It Designs LLC.
The dialogues and the website are designed to spark interactive discussion between community members around focus topics, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion and disability. It will travel to community venues throughout Calvert, Charles and St. Mary's counties collecting resident voices through video, audio, photographs and writing. The program will then culminate in three public dialogues.
Dialogue events will be from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Calvert Library Prince Frederick, from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 28 at the College of Southern Maryland La Plata Campus and from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Leonardtown Library.

Funds raised through corporate partnerships make an immediate and direct impact on the lives of those served by Calvert Hospice.

Watch for a growth recovery in China this year, according to Deutsche Bank, which highlighted improvements for cement, construction and shipping companies.
These sectors fared poorly amid last year's growth slowdown, but could be the ones to watch in 2013, the research house said.
Deutsche forecasts the mainland economy will reaccelerate to 8% gross domestic product growth in the first half, and enjoy a further pick up to 8.5% growth in the second half. That compares to 7.6% growth in the second half of 2012.
The improving fortunes should be reflected in 15% rise the MSCI China Index this year, it said.
Among other ideas to watch, the research house highlighted resource pricing reforms affecting oil refiners, electricity and natural gas producers, as well as water suppliers.
Less upbeat, however, is the outlook for Chinese banks, as the sector is likely to be weighed by rising non-performing loans.
Larger banks are likely to be more resilient than smaller ones in weathering the deteriorating conditions, Deutsche said.
Prospects for luxury watch makers, Macau casinos and some departments are similarly gloomy, thanks to the ongoing anti-corruption crackdown, Deutsche said.
Efforts to scrap excess capacity in the steel and coal industries appears to have fallen down the reform agenda and investors should avoid these sectors, it said.
A better idea is to watch for opportunities in healthcare and construction, which are set to benefit from higher outlays on social spending, value-added-tax reform and the ongoing migration of rural residents seeking out better lives in urban areas, Deutsche said.

NOTE, CAUTION, DO NOT use a wire wheel or needle scaler on your teeth.
They can be used on dentures as long as they are removed from mouth.
Makes me want to quit my regular job so I can go weld something.
But I doubt I could make it just yet. However, when the crap hits the fan, more welders are going to be needed.
I would like to see the US have a falling out with China, that way we would have to depend more on American made components to have any industrial business. I would imagine we would be in a hurt locker for a while tho.

This Movie Info
Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Release Date :August 05, 2011
Studio :20th Century Fox
Director :Rupert Wyatt
Starring :James Franco, Andy Serkis, Freida Pinto, Tom Felton
An origin story in the true sense of the word, RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES is set in present day San Francisco. The film is a reality-based cautionary tale -- a science fiction/science-fact blend where mankind's hubris leads to the development of intelligence in apes and the onset of a war for supremacy. Oscar(R)-winning visual effects house WETA Digital - employing certain of the groundbreaking technologies developed for "Avatar" - will render, for the first time ever in the film series, photo-realistic apes rather than costumed actors.

I just want to encourage all of you that have kids that play occassionally or often or whatever to sign up for the Juniors tournament in Toccoa. You do not have to worry about how competitive it will be, how unskilled or inexperienced your child is - it is just for fun. Everyone has a chance to win stuff - we had an absolute blast last year with 40+ kids - ages 6-19 as I recall.
My younger son played as a 7-year old last year - we made it through after 120+ strokes (he'd only played a couple of time before). John is going to have shorter tees for the younger kids this year. It really does get the kids more excited about playing the game.
See you there!!!

When the waves are crashing in by day, there's no better surfing scene than Huntington Beach! And when the waves calm down and the water turns to glass, there's no better chill-out scene than the Beach by the Pier! This spectacular piece, featuring the work of noted surfing photographer Dennis Junor, features Huntington Pier just after sunset, when the sun's awesome rays continue to light the sky in breathtaking hues of purple, yellow and orange. From the silhouette of the classic wooden pier, to the brilliantly colored landscape, this is a true classic for anyone who has surfed Huntington, or longs to arrive there one day.

Irish author Bram Stoker took the legend, and crafted it into one of the great works of horror fiction of all time
