Homemade Almond Paste
I hope all who are celebrating Father's Day enjoy the day and are appropriately spoiled by their children. I found this quotation I thought you might enjoy. "By the time a man realizes that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong." -- Charles Wadsworth
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Sometimes necessity really is the mother of invention. I committed to make a European-style muffins, flavored with almond paste, for a Father's Day brunch. They aren't difficult to make and they really are delicious. Under normal circumstances, it would be a pleasure, not a problem, to make them for everyone. Lest you think Murphy sleeps once you're in retirement, we really need to have a chat. I live in a community where you can buy almost any ingredient, at least at Christmas time. Once stocks of specialty items like candied fruit are gone, that's it for the year. The trend is creeping down the food chain and we've all learned to buy a year's supply of pumpkin and fresh cranberries while they are available. I was taken aback today, when what I thought would be a quick dash to market, turned into a cook's tour of community grocery stores. I was looking for almond paste. I couldn't find any and in a fit of pique spoke badly of all grocers west of the Hudson River. My thoughts were very colorful and I apologize to any whose relatives I denigrated. Fortunately, my better angels, armed with steely resolve took control and came up with a plan to make almond paste and get on with the remains of the day. I used the recipe from an old Taste of Home yearbook and I was really happy with the results. I actually made two versions of the almond paste. One was a from scratch effort that required blanching of whole almonds before they were ground and mixed with the sugar and egg white. The second effort used prepackaged pulverized almond meal. Interestingly enough, there was no difference in the taste of the two batches. There was, however, an enormous differences in the color of the paste they produced. The one made from the purchased meal was an unappealing tan in color and could not be used in recipes where color is important. The batch made from the blanched almonds was far more appealing and is the one I used to cook with today. The almond paste is easy to make if you have a blender or food processor, and while I wouldn't recommend its use in all applications, it worked well in the muffins I prepared. Here's the recipe. This is a great one to keep in your files for a rainy day.
Homemade Almond Paste...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite courtesy of Taste of Home
1-1/2 cups blanched almonds
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 egg white
1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1) Place almonds in a food processor; cover and process until smooth. Add confectioners' sugar, egg white, extract and salt; cover and process until smooth. 2) Divide almond paste into 1/2-cup portions. I like to roll each portion into a sausage shape and store them in airtight containers. Refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months. Yield: 1-1/2 cup.

I love almond paste, are you going to use it to make marzipan?

I've had the same problem here in Germany with many ingredients I had to make myself, most tome not because of the season but because they don't exist here. Ditto on the almond paste. I also used the blanched almonds. Next time I will give your recipe a go.

I make it often but I never used eggs, or almond essence, (I use a few apricot kernels instead), mine must be the Italian version :-).
Have a good Sunday, here it is nearly finished!

I've never come across homemade almond paste, what a great post. It's one of my favorite ingredients and I'm always frustrated at the tiny size of the tube! Can't wait to try it.

- Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchen said...
They say necessity is the mother of invention and I would say that applied to your situation Mary. I'm so happy to have this recipe as I make a cake that uses 1 1/2 tubes of almond paste and, like you, sometimes it's difficult to find. With that amount of almonds, it also explains why almond paste is so expensive.
Actually I made the cake I'm talking about yesterday to take to the blogger get-together today in Tennessee. Hope Bob has a happy Father's day.

Oh no, nothing worse than your grocery store letting you down when you're desperate for an ingredient! But,home made is always better anyways, and I'm sure your muffins will come out that much more delicious. :-)

You are so right about not being able to find certain ingredients outside of the holiday season. I use almond paste to make kransekage - the Danish celebration cake made from rings of almond dough, baked and then set one on top of the other. I'll have to file this recipe for the future - thank you!
PS I can't imagine you being flustered in a grocery store! - June 19, 2011 at 11:00 AM

I love this recipe! I used it recently for a Bakewell tart since I always have blanched almond meal on hand. Turned out fabulous. I love that you can tailor it to make the exact amount you need so there is no waste or leftover. And with my serrated food processor blade, it was the exact consistency of store bought. Woot!

I still have one store in town that sells almond paste and marzipan. Sometimes it is hard though and I have to pick it up in the town about 1.5 hours away. I have made Marzipan (from scratch)with my mom whe I was a girl -- we weren't so successful. Good to know that the amond meal will work. I adore Marzipan. Joni

Patrick Fitzgerald, the federal prosecutor who obtained the conviction of Vice President Cheney's chief of staff for lying to authorities about the leaking of a CIA officer's name and who sent former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) to jail on corruption charges, is stepping down from his post.
The Justice Department just announced that Fitzgerald, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois, is leaving that job on June 30. The department added that:
"Mr. Fitzgerald, 51, has no future employment plans and will take time off this summer before considering career options. Including his tenure as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in New York, Mr. Fitzgerald is leaving the Justice Department after nearly 24 years."
In the release, Fitzgerald says "when I was selected for this position in 2001, I said that it was one of the greatest opportunities that one could ever hope for, and I believe that even more now after having the privilege of working alongside hundreds of dedicated prosecutors and agents."
As NBC Chicago adds, Fitzgerald has "two Illinois Governors and a bevy of politically connected people [on] his list of convictions." Former Republican Gov. George Ryan was convicted in 2006 on fraud and racketeering charges.
Fitzgerald was acting as a special prosecutor when he obtained the 2007 conviction of former Cheney chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby for obstruction, perjury and lying to the FBI about the leaking of CIA officer Valerie Plame's name after her husband, retired diplomat Joe Wilson, went public with critical comments about the Bush administration's decision to to war with Iraq. There's a timeline of the CIA leak case here.

It may be a good idea to look for inspiration, and for reassurance that we can provide durable, reliable and great-looking surfaces and paving for a wide array of uses.
Bituchem Natratex
Bituchem Natratex is a leading brand in coloured asphalt and paving for many different uses and applications. Perhaps most famously, the brand has been used to help create various facilities at Cheltenham racecourse, including disabled access and viewing areas.
Colours range from simple, subtle and natural to bright, vibrant and eye-catching.
The brand and line's appeal lies both in its ease of application and in its ability to blend in seamlessly with existing installations and arrangements.
"The installation of our Natratex surface is to a very high standard and it looks amazing! We really recommend this company!"
We highly recommend this line of asphalt both for domestic and commercial needs, particularly where subtle, low-key zone control and/or resurfacing may be required. Coloured paving surface, Natratex lines arrive in various forms, from resin bound asphalt to masterprint concrete – in any case, this is long-lasting coloured paving which assures years of regular use and traffic as well as protection against weather and regular water.
Another great option for coloured macadam surfacing, would be Mastertint https://www.colouredasphalt.co.uk/mastertint/lancashire/
Asphalt is generally well sought-after for its durability and its protective elements – and Bituchem's Natratex line balances both of these aspects along with a stunning array and choice of colour and styles for homes, firms and public organisations to pick from.

A Natratex surface is one which is laid to last.

A mortgage home insurance plan is to insure your house and help your family or loved ones if anything happens to you. Owning a property is expensive, and mortgages are the largest amount they spend each month for most people.
Insuring your property means that in the event of your death, the people who live at home would still be able to stay there. This type of life insurance policy can also be called Decreasing Term Life Insurance.
With a mortgage life insurance policy, if you pass away or if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, then you are covered. The money paid out as part of your life insurance can be used to help your loved ones pay off your outstanding mortgage.
You can pick how much cover you require and decide how long you want to use it. In most cases, you can add other life insurance cover to your Decreasing Life Insurance Policy, such as Critical Illness Cover or a joint life insurance policy, for an additional cost.
Critical Illness Cover will provide you with a lump sum amount should you be diagnosed with various diseases or disabilities. The purpose of CIC is to help minimise the economic impact certain conditions might warrant and to help you meet essential payments should you become critically ill.
Joint mortgage life insurance is beneficial if you share a mortgage with your partner or friend. If one of you dies, the other would be able to get a payout to help them continue paying.
A Decreasing Term Life Insurance policy could be ideal for those looking to secure and protect their repayment mortgage. It gives reassurance that should anything happen to you; your family will be allowed to stay in their home without the threat of outstanding debt.
This policy is used to aid the people who depend on you to deal with finances if you die. It would mean that debts or living costs are easier for them to cope with.
Since you'll be working with your own personal mortgage life insurance specialist, you can rest assured that we will choose the best answer to your queries.
As well as informing you of the different choices, we'll help with filling out paperwork and managing every step in the process.
Premium payments can start from as low as £5 per month, so you can give your family the reassurance they deserve for a small monthly amount.
Many insurance policies come with additional benefits, such as free accidental death benefits. The accidental death benefit is the payout a beneficiary will receive if they make a valid claim from an accidental death insurance policy.
Our advisors can assess policies on your behalf to help you find the best kind of insurance for you, your family, and your lifestyle.
A mortgage will likely be one of the largest debts you leave behind when you die, so life insurance is crucial to ensure your family isn't floundering in overdue payments when you are gone.
No, it isn't required to cover or insure your property in Kirkaton or get any kind of mortgage life insurance policy. Still, it is recommended, especially if family members cannot deal with the finances independently.
If you have no dependents, you might decide not to, but most people do because it is strongly advised, and some lenders will ask you to have this policy when buying a property.
If you would be interested in learning more about what we offer, including tracker rates, https://www.amazingmortgagedeals.co.uk/types/tracker-rate/shetland-islands/kirkaton/ and fixed rates, then check out our quality pages.
You should consider a range of insurance policies when purchasing your property, such as repayment mortgage insurance, mortgage life insurance cover or decreasing life insurance, level term life insurance, and joint mortgage insurance.
Our expert mortgage advisors can help you find the ideal insurance provider and the best life insurance policies.
On average, your mortgage insurance would cost around 0.25% and 0.50% of your loan yearly.
So, your monthly premiums will cost you around £10-£15; this amount may be more or less dependent on the type of financial protection and life assurance you wish to possess.
Mortgage life cover tends to last between 15 to 30 years or until you reach the allocated age limit.
If you are still alive when your cover is terminated due to age restrictions or after your mortgage is completely paid off, then your mortgage cover ends, and you cannot file to receive any payout.
So, as you slowly decrease your outstanding mortgage, your ultimate payout will decrease accordingly.

Our mortgage consultants are industry experts in various methods, including shared equity deals provided by new home contractors and housing associations.
Life cover is the amount your insurer must pay out to your designated successor should a tragic event occur, and you lose your life.
Life insurance is the contract held between the insurance company and the insurance policy holder, which states the amount of money the insurer must pay upon the death of an insured person or after a set period.
Once you reach the age of 18, you should consider taking out life insurance.
Many financial experts advise individuals to take out a life insurance policy before they are 35, as around this age, individuals are more susceptible to illness.
Life insurance can be cheaper when you are younger, as you are more likely to be fit and healthy. So, it is worth considering life cover when you are young.
Most life cover policies will last from 5 to 25 years, depending on the contract they sign.
After the term expires, you may need to look for another life insurance policy.
When your life cover policy expires, you will no longer be entitled to receive a payout in the event of death.
The average life cover payout will take from 2 weeks to 2 months to receive.
Many factors will impact how long it takes to receive the payout, such as:

With those stakes high in South Carolina, the political ads are getting more pointed.
As NPR's Brian Naylor reports, the candidates themselves are taking aim less at each other and more at the White House.
BRIAN NAYLOR, BYLINE: The day before the South Carolina primary, the remaining Republican candidates are making their final TV pitches to voters. Here's part of what the Mitt Romney campaign bills as its closing argument.
MITT ROMNEY: President Obama wants to fundamentally transform America. I stand ready to lead us down a different path. This president has enacted job-killing regulations. I'll eliminate them. He lost our triple-A credit rating. I'll restore it. He passed ObamaCare. I'll repeal it.
NAYLOR: Newt Gingrich is also appealing to South Carolina Republicans by attacking President Obama, with a spot cut directly from his remarks at last Monday's debate.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #1: Only Newt Gingrich can beat Obama.
NEWT GINGRICH: More people have been put on food stamps by Barack Obama than any president in American history.
NAYLOR: These broadcast ads by the Gingrich and Romney campaigns are certainly tough on the president, but neither mentions the other Republicans in the race. But ads by the superPACs backing the candidates, which are not affiliated with the campaigns, are a different story.
For instance, here's a Web ad from the superPAC Winning Our Future, which supports Gingrich. It shows computer-animated characters staging a mock debate between Romney and the president.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #2: (As President Obama) Now, I agreed with Governor Romney on many things, but this presidential candidate Romney, I don't even know the guy. Then again, he doesn't seem to know himself.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #3: Oh, come on. Governor Romney?
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #4: Winning Our Future is responsible for the content of this message.
NAYLOR: David Procter is director of the Institute for Civic Discourse and Democracy at Kansas State University. Procter says it's no accident that the Republican candidates themselves are hesitant to go directly after their GOP rivals.
DAVID PROCTER: What they're trying to do is to have themselves associated with positive messages. And then because of the rules of the superPAC, they are able to claim at least some level of deniability that they know anything about this.
NAYLOR: Another way of providing some distance, if not deniability if you're a candidate, is to use a surrogate to do the attacking. Here's a Web ad the Romney campaign unveiled this week, in which former Republican Congresswoman Susan Molinari talks about serving with then-Speaker Gingrich.
SUSAN MOLINARI: Newt Gingrich had a leadership style that can only be described as leadership by chaos. The decisions that he would make today would be different decisions tomorrow, and a lot of the problems came from sort of the discipline that he lacked in order to get the job done.
NAYLOR: Whether it's surrogates or superPACs, University of Virginia Political Science Professor Paul Freedman says...
PAUL FREEDMAN: All else being equal, I would rather somebody else did my heavy lifting or did my dirty work when it comes to campaign advertising.
NAYLOR: Of course, Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert, with a mock superPAC supporting his mock candidacy, spoofs Gingrich and Romney in this Web video.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #5: Donate today, and we'll destroy both these guys and their superPACs with a merciless ad torrent so fierce, they'll wish they'd never been incorporated - an orgy of pure distortion leaving nothing behind but the clean campaign we all deserve.
NAYLOR: Now, some candidates do directly take on their opponents. Here's an ad from Rick Santorum.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN #6: Obama's a liberal on social issues. Romney once bragged he's even more liberal than Ted Kennedy on social issues. Why would we ever vote for someone who's just like Obama?
NAYLOR: The University of Virginia's Freedman says just as most campaigns make a decision to distance themselves from direct attacks, it's also no accident that in the closing days of a race, the ads take on a sharper edge.
FREEDMAN: Campaign ads need to do two things. You need to solidify your base as you reach out to potential supporters of an opponent and give them reasons to vote against your opponent. And so as a race gets tighter, as it gets closer, as Election Day approaches, candidates at this point, you know, it's all in.
NAYLOR: And his advice for the beleaguered TV viewers in South Carolina who want to avoid these ads: Pick up a book.

For those who have never consulted a dentist about treatments for sleep apnea and snoring, it may be time to make an appointment.
Dental sleep medicine is a growing segment of dentistry that focuses on managing snoring and sleep apnea with oral appliance therapy — an effective alternative to the standard treatment of the disease, the continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine and mask. Oral appliance therapy uses a "mouth guard-like" device, worn during sleep, to maintain an open, unobstructed airway.
"Oral appliances are very effective in treating sleep apnea because they maintain an open, unobstructed airway for patients," said B. Gail Demko, DMD, president of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine (AADSM). "Depending on the patient's needs, the device will either hold the tongue in place or support the jaw in a forward position to keep the patient's airway open and provide a more refreshing sleep."
According to the AADSM, at least 12-18 million adults in the U.S. have obstructive sleep apnea, which causes them to stop breathing hundreds of times a night for anywhere from a few seconds to more than a minute. Sleep apnea is a potentially life-threatening condition that can increase the risk for serious health problems from congestive heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure and heart disease to diabetes, obesity, depression and impotence if left untreated.
CPAP is the traditionally recommended treatment for sleep apnea. Sleeping with a CPAP machine, which includes a face mask, tubing and a running motor, can be difficult to adjust to. According to the AADSM, up to 50 percent of sleep apnea patients do not comply with or tolerate CPAP.
Dentists pioneered the use of oral appliance therapy for the treatment of sleep apnea and snoring. For many, oral devices are more comfortable to wear than a CPAP mask. The devices are also quiet, portable and easy to care for. Research suggests that oral appliance therapy can often equal CPAP in effectiveness and offers a higher patient compliance rate.
"Dentists trained in dental sleep medicine work in conjunction with a sleep physician and recommend a specific oral appliance based on a patient's needs," said Dr. Demko. "The important thing for patients to remember is that effective oral devices are always custom fit by a dentist and may need adjustments over time to ensure maximum effectiveness."
Oral appliance therapy is recommended for people with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. Once diagnosed by a board-certified physician, a dentist trained in dental sleep medicine can provide treatment.

A blend of Michigan family orchard organic Apples and organic Montmorency Tart Cherries slowly kettle simmered with a bit of organic apple juice concentrate. Over four pounds of fruit in each jar - 84% apples, 16% tart cherries. Vegetarian Times 2010 Reader's Fave Foodie Award winner. A tangy sweet spread of brilliant flavor in a versatile butter. No refined sugar or anything else ever added.
Eden Apple Cherry Butter is U.S.A. family orchard organic apples and organic Montmorency tart cherries from the shores of the Great Lakes, one of the best tree fruit locations in the world due to the seasonal 'lake effect'. After years of organic management, the healthy soil and trees in these orchards produce the most delicious apples and cherries we have ever tasted.
Over four pounds of fruit go into each jar of Eden Apple Cherry Butter. Eden selects a blend of heirloom and traditional organic apples that are sorted, washed, peeled, cored and chopped. A small amount of our organic apple juice concentrate is added and they are patiently steam jacket kettle simmered until perfect. Organic Montmorency tart cherries are washed, pitted, and cooked into a 30 Brix puree. Brix scale measures dissolved sugar content. The apple butter and tart cherry puree is then blended and hot packed in glass jars; 84 percent apples and 16 percent tart cherries. Eden Apple Cherry Butter is fat and sodium free. No refined sugar or anything else ever added.
Eden Apple Cherry Butter is a tangy, sweet spread with brilliant flavor. It received a first place Foodie Award for 2010 in Vegetarian Times. In the jams and fruit spreads category it was the Reader's Fave. "Spreadable fruit that tastes like it's straight from the tree." A jar in your refrigerator makes healthy eating an easy pleasure. Dollop on oatmeal and cereal, spread it on toast, pancakes and waffles, add to batter and dough for moist, flavorful baked goods. It also makes excellent frosting.
Research shows apples and apple juice contain a wealth of phytonutrients beneficial to health. A study at Rochester, Minnesota's Mayo Clinic reported finding the "powerful antioxidant, quercetin, in apples and apple juice." Quercetin is one of the more potent antioxidants in apples. In the journal 'Nature', 2000, researchers at Cornell University reported that apple components had more antioxidant capability than a 1,500-milligram mega dose of vitamin C. "Scientists are interested in isolating single components, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta carotene to see if they exhibit antioxidant benefits", says Dr. Rui Hai Liu at Cornell. "It turns out that none of those work alone. It's the combination of flavonoids and polyphenols [antioxidant phytonutrients found in apples] doing the work."
The Montmorency tart cherry is traditionally known as the 'pie cherry' and the 'healing cherry'. In areas tart cherry has been grown for generations, the locals attest to its efficaciousness. A Michigan State University study found the antioxidants anthocyanins and their anlyon cyanidin compounds in the pigment of the Montmorency cherry. They also found kaempferol, isoqueritrin, and quercetin. Research conducted at Brunswick Laboratories in Massachusetts and the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina found that Montmorency cherries contain ellagic acid, a naturally occurring plant phenolic. All of these are powerful antioxidants. Other compounds of note found in Montmorency cherries are perillyl alcohol and melatonin. Dr. Russell Reiter, of the University of Texas Health Science Center, said "We were surprised at how much melatonin was in cherries, specifically the Montmorency variety." According to research melatonin is a most potent antioxidant, even more so than vitamins C, E and A; it is soluble in both fat and water and can enter cells that many vitamins cannot.
A six year Washington State University study comparing different types of apple production recently found that organic fruit growing techniques "are not only better for soil and the environment than their conventional chemical reliant counterpart, but have comparable yields and, for the organic system, higher profits and greater energy efficiency." The study also determined that organic fruit is sweeter and more delicious.
It's good to be choosy when picking apples and apple products. The USDA has identified 35 insecticides, fungicides, and weed killers sprayed on apples, even though the Environmental Protection Agency considers them hazardous. Tests by the Environmental Working Group state that these chemicals do show up in supermarkets, so it is especially important to choose an organic apple you can trust. Eden is a wise choice.

Hello from Tampa, where tonight Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin accepted the Republican Party's vice presidential nomination and told the nation that if he joins Mitt Romney in the White House they will work to solve the nation's problems, not blame them on others.
"We will not duck the tough issues, we will lead," he said. "We will not spend four years blaming others, we will take responsibility. We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles."
It was a speech full of the kind of jabs that vice presidential nominees take at the other party's standard-bearers and which focused a lot on issues that Ryan has been at the center of in Congress: the federal debt and health care.
We followed the action on the floor of the 2012 Republican National Convention as it happened and updated this post through the evening. Also onstage tonight were 2008 Republican presidential nominee John McCain, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and several of the politicians who were said to have been on Romney's "short list" of vice presidential possibilities.
Scroll down and "read up" if you want to see how things went. And check the live chat about the proceedings that our colleague Frank James hosted.
Update at 11:04 p.m. ET. "We Will Lead!":
As he wraps up to a big finish, Ryan says "the right that makes all the difference now, is the right to choose our own leaders. And you are entitled to the clearest possible choice, because the time for choosing is drawing near. So here is our pledge:
"We will not duck the tough issues, we will lead. We will not spend four years blaming others, we will take responsibility. We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles."
With that, he's joined onstage by his wife, their three children and his mother for a minute or so of music and waving.
Update at 10:53 p.m. ET. Another Zinger:
"College graduates should not have to live out their 20s in their childhood bedrooms, staring up at fading Obama posters and wondering when they can move out and get going with life!" Ryan says, setting off another ovation.
Update at 10:52 p.m. ET. Mom, And "Yes You Did Build That!":
The delegates love when Ryan talks about how his mother built her own business and he says, "my Mom is my role model." She's in the building.
And they love it when Ryan says American business owners, "after all [their] work, and in a bad economy ... deserve to hear ... the truth: 'Yes, you did build that.' "
Update at 10:46 p.m. ET. The Crux Of Ryan's Argument:
Ryan says the president and his fellow Democrats "have no answer to this simple reality: We need to stop spending money we don't have." That's another crowd pleaser.
Update at 10:44 p.m. ET. Ryan Says "We Want This Debate":
Continuing to blister "Obamacare," Ryan says, "Ladies and gentlemen, our nation needs this debate. We want this debate. We will win this debate." That gets a loud cheer.
Then he gets the biggest ovation yet after saying this:
"President Obama was asked not long ago to reflect on any mistakes he might have made. He said, well, 'I haven't communicated enough.' He said his job is to 'tell a story to the American people' — as if that's the whole problem here? He needs to talk more, and we need to be better listeners?
"Ladies and gentlemen, these past four years we have suffered no shortage of words in the White House. What's missing is leadership in the White House."
Update at 10:38 p.m. ET. Ryan Takes Aim At The Stimulus And "Obamacare":
"The stimulus was a case of political patronage, corporate welfare, and cronyism at their worst," Ryan tells delegates. "You, the working men and women of this country, were cut out of the deal. What did the taxpayers get out of the Obama stimulus? More debt. That money wasn't just spent and wasted — it was borrowed, spent, and wasted.
"Maybe the greatest waste of all was time. Here we were, faced with a massive job crisis – so deep that if everyone out of work stood in single file, that unemployment line would stretch the length of the entire American continent. You would think that any president, whatever his party, would make job creation, and nothing else, his first order of economic business.
"But this president didn't do that. Instead, we got a long, divisive, all-or-nothing attempt to put the federal government in charge of health care.
"Obamacare comes to more than two thousand pages of rules, mandates, taxes, fees, and fines that have no place in a free country."
At that point to women who appeared to be with the "Code Pink" movement began shouting. They were quickly removed from the hall and a chant of "USA! USA!" drowned them out. The disturbance lasted a brief time.
Update at 10:28 p.m. ET. Ryan Accepts:
Coming onstage to a big roar, Ryan says right away that "I am honored by the support of this convention for vice president of the United States."
Update at 10:25 p.m. ET. "Success Is Nothing To Be Ashamed Of":
"Success is not something to be ashamed of, or to demonize," says New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, hitting on a theme that's has come up many times here. "There is one candidate in this election who will protect that dream, one leader who will fight hard to keep the promise of America for the next generation. And that's why we must stand up and make Mitt Romney the next president of the United States."
Update at 10:19 p.m. ET. Gun Talk Is A Big Hit:
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez gets the delegates on their feet by saying that as an 18-year-old working for her father's security business "I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum."
Update at 10:15 p.m. ET. Biggest Moment So Far: Rice On How Her Parents Made Her Believe:
Delegates roar for the first time tonight when former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice talks of herself: "a little girl [who] grows up in Jim Crow Birmingham — the most segregated big city in America."
Her parents, Rice says, "can't take her to a movie theater or a restaurant — but they make her believe that even though she can't have a hamburger at the Woolworth's lunch counter — she can be president of the United States and she becomes the secretary of state!"
Update at 10:10 p.m. ET. Education Is "The Civil Rights Issue Of The Day":
"We need to give parents greater choice — particularly poor parents whose kids — very often minorities — are trapped in failing neighborhood schools," says former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. " This is the civil rights struggle of our day." That gets a strong cheer from the delegates.
Update at 10:03 p.m. ET. Rice Is First To Mention Sept. 11 Attacks:
After getting the warmest welcome of any prime-time speaker so far tonight, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice begins her address by talking about national security and right at the start she looks back at the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.
"I will never forget the bright September day," she says, "standing at my desk in the White House, when my young assistant said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center — and then a second one." She goes on to talk of the attacks on the Pentagon and the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania.
Now, she says, the "question of moment ... [is] 'Where does America stand?' When our friends and our foes, alike, do not know the answer to that question – clearly and unambiguously — the world is a chaotic and dangerous place."
Update at 9:50 p.m. ET. An Indirect Reference To Romney's Religion:
Without using the word "Mormon," former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says, "I care far less as to where Mitt Romney takes his family to church than I do about where he takes this country." It's the first such reference from the podium we've heard this week.
Update at 9:45 p.m. ET. Huckabee, Another Former Rival, Makes Romney's Case:
Why do former opponents unite? Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee — who ran against Romney in the 2008 GOP primaries — says it's because "we have Barack Obama to thank."
Update at 9:40 p.m. ET. "Obamneycare" Is Long Forgotten:
Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty gave Romney his strong support. Long gone are the days in the primary campaign when he tied Romney's health care initiative in Massachusetts to President Obama's — famously calling it "Obamneycare."
Update at 9:35 p.m. ET. Pawlenty Calls Obama "The Tattoo President":
"Good evening everyone, and welcome to Barack Obama's retirement party!" says former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the second of those said to have been on Romney's vice presidential "short list" to address the convention tonight.
Moments later, he delivers more of the sort of lines that vice presidential nominees are expected to deliver:
"Actually, Barack Obama is the first president to create more excuses than jobs! In his view, it's George's fault. It's the bank's fault. It's Europe's fault. It's the weather's fault. It's Congress' fault. Mr. President, if you want to find fault, I suggest you look in the mirror.
"I've come to realize that Barack Obama is the tattoo president. Like a big tattoo, it seemed cool when you were young.
"But later on, that decision doesn't look so good, and you wonder: what was I thinking? But the worst part is you're still going to have to explain it to your kids. ...
"Barack Obama's failed us. But look, it's understandable. A lot of people fail at their first job."
Update at 9:20 p.m. ET. From The Romney/Paul Campaign, An Appeal For Help In Defeating Obama/Biden's "Radical Leftist, Big-Government Agenda":
As we've been watching the proceedings, the Republican ticket has sent an email to supporters asking for donations because "this is the week that with your help we can propel the Romney-Ryan ticket to a sizable lead in the polls over Barack Obama and Joe Biden and their radical leftist, big-government agenda."
Update at 9:10 p.m. ET. Portman, Who Might Have Been Giving A Very Different Speech:
Ohio Sen. Rob Portman was said to have been on the "short list" of potential vice presidential nominees. So this might have been his big night, not Rep. Paul Ryan's. Onstage now, Portman is getting a reception similar to McCain's — polite, with some cheers here and there, but not closely followed by many of the delegates.
He gets a fairly good rise out of the delegates, though, by saying "At the other party's convention, you will hear the chant, 'Four more years. Four more years.' " That sets off a chant of "No More Years!"
Update at 8:55 p.m. ET. More On McCain.
We've put up a separate post: Four Years Later McCain's Reception Is Much Different.
Update at 8:35 p.m. ET. Tonight's Theme Is "We Can Change It":
No one's going to miss the message the Republicans want to send tonight if Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington has anything to do with it. "Our theme tonight is, 'We can change it.' " The first thing they'll talk about changing is "Obamacare." "Do you want more of this for four more years?" asks Georgia Attorney General Sam Olens after he and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi tick off their objections to the law. "NO!" the delegates say.
Update at 8:15 p.m. ET. McCain Puts Aside Past Differences To Support Romney, And Gives A Lesson On International Relations:
After coming on stage to a standing ovation, Arizona Sen. John McCain begins to make the case for why he's supporting Romney — a man who was a bitter opponent in the 2008 Republican primaries.
"Unfortunately, for four years — four years — we've drifted away from our proudest traditions of global leadership," he says, "traditions that are truly bipartisan. We've let the challenges we face, both at home and abroad, become harder to solve.
"We can't afford to stay on that course any longer."
He gets big applause for this line:
"We can't afford to have the security of our nation and those who bravely defend it endangered because their government leaks the secrets of their heroic operations to the media."
Then he runs through a series of foreign policy issues he thinks President Obama has bumbled: Iran, Middle East peace, Syria.
"Sadly, for the lonely voices of dissent in Syria, and Iran, and elsewhere, who feel forgotten in their darkness, and sadly for us, as well, our president is not being true to our values."
The 2008 GOP presidential nominee didn't get the delegates' full attention, though. While there has been some applause, many are talking, reading and moving about.
But of Romney, McCain says several times, "I trust him."
Update at 7:50 p.m. ET. For The Bush Family, A Video Tribute:
Neither of the former presidents is scheduled to be at the convention. Tonight, before the prime-time TV hours, delegates just saw a video tribute to George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. It's been greeted with applause. Toward the end, this gets a nice round of applause:
"Mitt Romney will be a good president," George W. Bush says.
Update at 7:45 p.m. ET. From Rand Paul, The Reason He's Behind Mitt Romney:
The senator supported his father's bid for the presidential nomination. After his dad left the race, he endorsed Mitt Romney. Tonight, he says that "to lead us forward, away from the looming debt crisis, it will take someone who believes in America's greatness, who believes in and can articulate the American dream, someone who has created jobs, someone who understands and appreciates what makes America great, someone who will lead our party and our nation forward. I believe that someone is our nominee: Governor Mitt Romney."
Update at 7:35 p.m. ET. Rand Paul's Lesson On Capitalism And Who Built What:
The Kentucky senator is putting his historical and economic take on one of the issues Republicans have been using to score points against President Obama. It's a more detailed argument than we've heard from the podium so far this week.
"When I heard the current president say, 'You didn't build that,' I was first insulted, then I was angered, then I was saddened that anyone in our country, much less the president of the United States, believes that roads create business success and not the other way around," Rand Paul says.
"Anyone who so fundamentally misunderstands American greatness is uniquely unqualified to lead this great nation. The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the Cold War, is that the engine of capitalism — the individual — is mightier than any collective."
Update at 7:20 p.m. ET. Another Dig About Golf:
President Obama has "been working to earn a spot on the PGA Tour," Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky tells delegates. On Tuesday, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said Vice President Biden lies about how good a golfer he is.
Update at 7:10 p.m. ET. Cheers For Ron Paul:
The Texas congressman isn't in the hall, as far as we know, but the video that's now being shown about him is getting some big cheers from the crowd — presumably mostly his delegates and supporters, but perhaps many others who agree with some, if not all, of his views. His son will be on stage soon.
Update at 6:55 p.m. ET. Appeal For Those Hit By Isaac:
We posted this earlier: "GOP Convention Switches On Web Appeal For Isaac Relief."
Now, on the large screen backing the stage, there are messages urging delegates to go to RedCross.org and text "RECROSS" to 90999. Those are ways to donate to help those in the path of Isaac, the hurricane/tropical storm that is pummeling the Gulf Coast from Louisiana through Mississippi.
We'll likely hear about those suffering the effects of Isaac several times this evening.
Update at 6:40 p.m. ET. "We Will Not Duck The Tough Issues":
"Here is our pledge," Ryan will tell delegates, according to excerpts of his address that the Romney/Ryan campaign has sent to reporters. "We will not duck the tough issues — we will lead. We will not spend four years blaming others — we will take responsibility. We will not try to replace our founding principles, we will reapply our founding principles."
Romney, Ryan also plans to say, "is sure ready. His whole life has prepared him for this moment – to meet serious challenges in a serious way, without excuses and idle words."

Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to support H. Res. 3320, introduced by my friend and colleague, Mr. SMITH of New Jersey. This bill would authorize the United States to provide $5 million to assist in the development of the permanent collection of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
This past May, I had the opportunity to travel to Poland and, while there, met with Jerzy Halbersztadt, the director of the museum, and Ewa Wierzynska, the deputy director. The museum they are helping to establish is truly an historical undertaking and one that deserves the support of the United States.
Warsaw was once home to the largest Jewish community in Europe, and if we are to truly understand what was lost in the Holocaust, we must try to wrap our minds not only around the figure of 6 million, but around the 1,000 years of Polish Jewish life that preceded that tragedy. Poland is not only a place where Jews died, but a place where they lived and flourished. Moreover, it is estimated that 80 percent of all Jews and over nine million Americans trace some of their ancestry to the Polish Jewish community. This museum has the potential to touch the lives of our own citizens in deeply personal ways.
As chairman of the Helsinki Commission, I am heartened by the educational role this museum can play in fulfilling the goals that the OSCE participating States have undertaken in the field of combating anti-Semitism. I believe this museum will contribute to tolerance and mutual respect in Poland, will help counter the broader phenomenon of anti-Semitism in Europe, and will serve as an inspiration to the thousands of visitors who will come every year. The historical record of the Polish Jewish community must be preserved and shared with future generations.
Unfortunately, my own schedule did not permit me to return to Poland for the June 26 groundbreaking ceremony for the museum, which will be located in the heart of the pre-World War II Jewish district and next to the monument to the Jews who resisted the Nazis during the 1943 ghetto uprising. However, I did send a member of the Helsinki Commission staff, who witnessed firsthand the extraordinary turnout for this event. Among those present was the Chief Rabbi of Tel Aviv Meir Lau, whose parents were from Poland and who suggested that invited Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has denied the Holocaust, be among the first to visit the museum.
I don't know if the Iranian President will accept this invitation, but I have no doubt that many Americans will be among the 500,000 people who are expected to visit the museum on an annual basis. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this extraordinary museum, with an extraordinary mission.

Now From
The Air Jordan 4 Retro SE 'FIBA' updates the '89 icon for the 2019 Basketball World Cup. This iteration, dressed in a patriotic Gym Red, white, Metallic Gold and Obsidian colorway, was released in September 2019. It features a tumbled leather upper that displays elements of the competing country's flags in place of the original AJ 4's mesh. Other highlights include prominent Jumpman branding on the tongue and heel, and a 'For The Love of The Game' tag on the inner tongue.
As every brand has slightly different sizing standards, we advise you to get in touch with the specific manufacturer (e.g. Nike, Adidas etc.). They can guide you to the appropriate size for you. They might also assist with gender size conversions.
Certain trainers might have the sizing type abbreviated next to the name. If there's an abbreviation by the name, it doesn't follow traditional men's sizing. For example, a 6 in GS isn't the same as a 6 in Men's.
Use this for reference, and you can be sure that you're ordering the right shoe size for your use case!
Note that different brands and manufacturers size slightly different – so a size 8 Nike Air Jordan shoe might fit differently than a size 8 Adidas shoe, for example.
We make sure to supply only the best products; and in the streetwear game the most important thing is authenticity.

Over the years I've become something of a connoisseur of these kinds of rules, so it'd be hard to pick a favorite. If pressed, though, I'd probably go with the following little gem, which I would have actually used, had I noticed it back in the day:
HelmetsInterestingly, I have yet to find a comparable rule in OSRIC, but the Advanced Edition Companion does reproduce it.
It is assumed that an appropriate type of head armoring will be added to the suit of armor in order to allow uniform protection of the wearer. Wearing of a "great helm" adds appropriate weight and restricts the vision to the front 60° only, but it gives the head AC 1. If a helmet is not worn, 1 blow in 6 will strike at the AC 10 head, unless the opponent is intelligent, in which case 1 blow in 2 will be aimed at the AC 10 head (d6, 1-3 = head blow).
So what's your favorite obscure rule from AD&D? Bonus points if you actually use it in play.
