Personal life

Heather with her husband and son.

Morris was born in Thousand Oaks, California, and raised in Scottsdale, Arizona. She began dancing when she was one. She competed at a young age in a variety of styles including jazz, tap, and contemporary. Her father died of cancer when she was 14 years old. "It's something that is hard for me, because I'm sad about it, but I don't dwell on it," she said during an interview workshop with students in December 2009. "I know he's in a better place, instead of suffering." After graduating from Desert Mountain High School, Heather decided to enroll in a local university, but realized she was in the wrong place so she moved to L.A. instead at age 19.

Morris is in a relationship with baseball player Taylor Hubbell. They attended the same high school in Arizona, but did not know each other there. They began dating after Morris moved to Los Angeles and Hubbell contacted her on Myspace. In a 2011 interview with Fitness, Morris said of Hubbell, "I want to marry him so bad. That's what I really care about. I want to marry Taylor and have kids with him. I love acting, but if it affects my relationship, then I won't continue doing it."

Heather making her second pregnancy announcement.

After graduating from the University of Louisiana in Lafayette, Hubbell began living with Morris in Los Angeles in early 2012.

On August 28, 2014, Morris announced she and Hubbell were engaged. She and Hubbell got married on May 17, 2015. Her first pregnancy was reported in April 2013, and she would give birth to a son, Elijah, on September 28, 2013.[1] On August 19, 2015, Heather announced through social media, that she and Hubbell are expecting their second child.[2]

Morris begun studying Journalism at university, but later moved to Los Angeles in 2006 to pursue a career in acting and dancing. Her first significant appearance was in So You Think You Can Dance Season 2 where she was one of the remaining contestants after Vegas week. However, she failed to make it into the Judges' top 10 girls with a vote of 3-2 against. In 2008, she appeared in single episodes of Swingtown and Eli Stone as an uncredited dancer, and in 2009 Morris appeared in the film Fired Up as Fiona. She went on to further success as a dancer in support of Beyoncé Knowles on her tour, The Beyoncé Experience, and when Beyoncé first performed at the American Music Awards, on Saturday Night Live, in 2008.

Morris was cast as Brittany in 2009 for the first season of Fox Broadcasting Company's musical comedy series Glee, about a high school Glee Club. She was brought in by the show initially to teach the choreography for Beyoncé's Single Ladies dance to the actors, however the show was looking for a third cheerleader and she got the job. Jarrett Wieselman, of the New York Post, stated that Morris has "emerged as one of the funniest second bananas on "TV right now!" She also made the Afterellen Hot 100 list in 2010, 2011, and 2012, premiering at 85 in 2010, jumping to 2 in 2011, and at number 3 in 2012. Recently she was featured on the cover of Women's Health magazine. In 2012, Heather voiced her very first animated movie called Ice Age 4. She also played a character named Katie, also known as "Gossip Girl."

About six months after I first moved to L.A., I got a job doing Beyoncé’s tour. After I finished the tour, I started working with choreographer Zach Woodlee, who started hiring me to do things like Fired Up! and Eli Stone. Prior to the Single Ladies tour I was supposed to move to New York to do West Side Story, but then I dropped dancing and started acting classes because I didn’t want to dance anymore and I really wanted to fulfill my lifelong dream of acting. Zach called me and was like, “Are you in New York?” I was like, "No, I’m still here in L.A. and I’m acting." He was like, "OK, I need you to come in and teach the "Single Ladies" dance to Chris Colfer and Jenna Ushkowitz for this TV show I’m doing, Glee. Since you’re acting now, I know Ryan Murphy would love to consider you for a part. Look as cute as you can so he’ll love you even more.” So I went in to teach the kids with a full-on outfit. I was scheduled to read with Ryan Murphy twice, but he canceled both times. After that, Zach called me and said they might not hire me anyway because they wanted the third cheerleader to be black, so my hopes were shot. But then my agent called a week later and said, "You’re now cast as Brittany in Glee." So it was nuts.[5] Brittany's role in the show was initially intended to be minor, but grew towards the end of the first season. She does not have any solo musical performances during season one, but Morris hoped she would have one in the second season.[6] On April 27, 2010, Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly reported that Morris would be upgraded to a series regular for season two.[7] Speaking to E! Online, Morris commented: "It's so fun. I literally just stand there and doze off and then I'm like, 'Oh yeah, I have to speak now!'"[8] At the 2010 Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour, Murphy stated that Brittany would have "big storylines" in the new season, as viewers want to know more about her.[9]

At the bottom of Ground Zero, powerful artifacts rest inside Sept. 11 Museum

NEW YORK – A cavernous museum on hallowed ground is finally nearing completion, far below the earth where the twin towers once stood.

Amid the construction machinery and the dust, powerful artifacts of death and destruction have assumed their final resting places inside the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

A vast space that travels down to the bedrock upon which the towers were built, the museum winds its way deeper and deeper underground, taking visitors on a journey to the very bottom.

Story continues below
Global News

Already on display are several pieces of mangled steel and metal recovered from the World Trade Center towers, each one telling a different story of the terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

The first relics that visitors will see are two massive pieces of structural steel that rose from the base of the North Tower. Now the rusty red columns soar above ground into the sunlit glass atrium that encloses the entrance to the museum.

“They’re so large – about 21 metres tall – that we built the museum around them,” explained Joseph Daniels, president of the memorial and museum.

Down a long ramp, visitors will peer down to glimpse the last piece of steel removed from ground zero in 2002, which sits inside a gaping silvery chamber that drops to the lowest level of the museum.

Further down the ramp, visitors will discover a mangled and twisted piece of steel that Daniels calls “impact steel.” That’s because this piece of the building was actually destroyed by the impact of Flight 11 slamming into the North Tower.

“You can see how, at the bottom, the columns are bent back,” Daniels said. “That’s because Flight 11’s nose, when it pierced the building, it bent steel like that.”

Perhaps the most chilling part of the museum, in its current form, is a battered staircase that leads down to bedrock, where the exhibits will be displayed. Sandwiched between an escalator and a staircase that will be used by museum visitors, the “survivor’s stairs” provided an escape route for hundreds of people who fled from the towers on Sept. 11, 2001.

“You’re literally following the same pathway that hundreds followed on 9-11 to survival, to safety,” said museum director Alice Greenwald. “In some respects, what we’re saying to our visitors is, we all live in a world now that was defined by this event. And in that sense, we’re all survivors of 9-11.”

There are more relics, some of them shrouded in plastic or white drapery, awaiting their public debut:

The “flag steel” shaped like a ribbon that resembled a flag blowing in the breeze. The T-shaped steel column and crossbeam that became known as the “World Trade Center cross,” a piece of the rubble that became a symbol of hope to hundreds of recovery workers.

The fire truck from Engine Company 21, whose cab was destroyed while the rest of the truck remained intact.

When completed in the spring, the museum will transport people through time from events leading to the 9-11 attacks all the way to the current events of today. And even when its doors open, the museum will always remain a work in progress.

“This is a museum, I like to say, that’s not about answers,” Greenwald said. “It’s a museum about questions. And we end with questions, and we then invite the public to participate in that dialogue.”

SETAC Globe - Environmental Quality Through Science
  21 June 2012
Volume 13 Issue 6

Return to the Globe

6th SETAC Europe Special Science Symposium on Environmental Endocrine Disrupter Testing and Evaluation: Current and Future Developments

Annegaaike Leopold, Wildlife International, Ltd.

We have all heard about endocrine disrupters, but the EU and the US have now reached the stage of their active regulation, and this is proving expensive, difficult and controversial. This symposium will discuss all the important regulatory issues, in depth. Its purpose is to disseminate and exchange up-to-date knowledge of endocrine disrupter environmental testing and assessment, information of immediate value to regulators and the chemical industry. The focus will primarily be on the implications of endocrine disrupters for European regulation of plant protection products, industrial chemicals, biocides and pharmaceuticals. It will provide expert briefings from the regulatory, industry and testing laboratories’ perspectives on test design and interpretation, hazard verus risk assessment, weight-of-evidence approaches and alternatives under development for vertebrate testing. Regulatory developments and future directions for addressing the areas of concern will be discussed.

The symposium will cover key topics including

  • Why endocrine disrupters are of regulatory concern
  • Current regulatory requirements in the EU, USA and Japan
  • Standardised ecotoxicity tests for EDCs – What do and don’t they contribute?
  • Regulatory criteria for EDCs in the European Union
  • Applying tests for EDCs in hazard and risk assessment schemes and weight of evidence schemes
  • New and alternative tests for EDCs
  • Intelligent testing strategies for EDCs

A final panel discussion with questions from the audience will round off the symposium.

We welcome poster abstract submissions, which will be evaluated by the steering committee. Ample time will be given during the symposium for authors to discuss their work on research related to the theme of the symposium. Please note that your poster should focus on the contribution that your approach makes (e.g., new research, modelling, exposure assessment, fate and effects assessments) to enhancing the hazard and risk assessment of endocrine disrupters. Submit your poster abstract online at before 30 August 2012.

Who will benefit from this conference?

  • Environmental scientists from business, government and academia working in the fields of registration, risk assessment and research
  • Contract research organisations and consultants offering services related to the hazard and risk assessment of endocrine disrupters

Why attend?

  • To obtain up to the minute information on the regulations being enacted to control endocrine disrupters
  • To obtain a detailed briefing on the methods that will be used to assess the hazards of EDCs and their potential risks
  • To contribute questions to, and learn from, panel discussions with the speakers
  • To be part of a great networking opportunity for face to face dialogue with experts

You can register for the symposium online at Please note that registration is limited to 135 participants on a first-come, first-served basis.

False Prophecy Teacher Still Making the Rounds

Dubbed ‘Future Congress 2,’1a gathering of experts in various fields, promises to excite participants and speakers alike. A very special bonus will be the appearance of Hal Lindsey, considered to be the father of the modern Bible prophecy movement.”

Prophecy is big business. Predicting the future sells a lot of books. Hal Lindsey should know.

“The single best-selling nonfiction book of the 1970s was not The Joy of Sex or even The Joy of Cooking; it was Hal Lindsey’s The Late Great Planet Earth.”2 It was declared by the New York Times to be the “no. 1 non-fiction bestseller of the decade.”3 Estimates put sales at more than 15 million copies before the close of the decade. Since then, it has sold nearly 30 million copies worldwide and remains in print today as evidence of Bible prophecy’s staying power even in light of its shop-worn predictions. “As Lindsey says himself, ‘The future is big business.’”4

What made Lindsey’s brand of prophetic speculation so popular? He set a date. Lindsey predicted that the founding of Israel in 1948 was prophetically significant. Once reestablished as a nation, a 40-year prophetic time clock would start ticking. By 1988, a so called ‘rapture’ would take place where Christians would be removed from earth to be followed by the rise of antichrist and the battle of Armageddon. Here’s what Lindsey wrote in 1970:

“The most important sign in Matthew has to be the restoration of the Jews to the land in the rebirth of Israel. Even the figure of speech ‘fig tree’ has been a historic symbol of national Israel. When the Jewish people, after nearly 2,000 years of exile, under relentless persecution, became a nation again on 14 May 1948 the ‘fig tree’ put forth its first leaves. Jesus said that this would indicate that He was ‘at the door,’ ready to return. Then He said, ‘Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place’ (Matthew 24:34, NASB). What generation? Obviously, in context, the generation that would see the signs — chief among them the rebirth of Israel. A generation in the Bible is something like forty years. If this is a correct deduction, then within forty years or so of 1948, all these things could take place. Many scholars who have studied Bible prophecy all their lives believe that this is so.”5

By 1977, Lindsey had adjusted his views because his 40-year generation scenario was running out of time. In an interview published in Christianity Today (April 15, 1977), Lindsey told W. Ward Gasque: “I don’t know how long a biblical generation is. Perhaps somewhere between sixty and eighty years. The state of Israel was established in 1948. There are a lot of world leaders who are pointing to the 1980s as being the time of some very momentous events. Perhaps it will be then. But I feel certain that it will take place before the year 2000.

Well, we now know that a generation is not 60 years, since 64 years have passed since Israel became a nation again.

Lindsey wrote in his book The 1980s: Countdown to Armageddon that “The decade of the 1980’s could very well be the last decade of history as we know it.” That was 22 years ago.

I believe that one of the reasons liberals have taken over nearly every area of life in America is partly due to the fact that many conservatives are preoccupied with prophetic speculation that sees a near end to our world. Why get involved if the end is near?

    Eschatology is one area of Christian study where you cannot be too dogmatic. Unfortunately Linsey hasn't figured that out yet.

  • jag

    I do not know the source of the so-called Christian doomsayers. I suspect their motive is book profits and profits from other sources. Every Holy Bible that I have knowledge of has the answer:

    Matthew 24:36

    "No one knows when that day or hour will come-not the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father"

    These are false Prophets and are leading people into destruction.

  • James White, M.D.

    The liberals learned this "no-date" business when "Y2K" went bust, and modified again with the "global warming" scam. But when no real evidence could be manufactured, now they attempt to enrich themselves, and control others with the vague, non-dated, actually not-described moniker of "climate change." No gimmick is off-limits for greedy souls, sadly even when "dealing in messages from heaven" (Thoreau's phrase).

Gold Jewelry in China

Gold has always held an important place in China as an investment and store of wealth. The high demand for gold jewelry in China in recent years is a reflection of the relaxing of laws relating to gold ownership and the growing middle class with money to spend on luxury items such as gold jewelry.

Some people believe that China is the country that will drive the price of gold and gold jewelry higher than ever seen before. Darius McDermott, managing director of Chelsea Financial Services, says rising demand for jewellery could be the key factor driving the gold price onwards. "In China, there are expected to be 200 million people joining the middle classes. Gold jewellery will be one of the things they buy." Read article.

In December 2002, the Chinese Government allowed the Chinese people to once again buy gold for the first time since 1949, when the Communist Party came to power. This decision has opened up the domestic market in China for the buying and selling or gold bullion and gold jewelry as an investment commodity.

In the first half of 2005, the retail sales volume of 1,000 of China's major gold, silver and jewelry companies increased by 13.9 percent, according to

Foreign Direct Investment has been permitted in gold jewelry retail. No permission is required to open shop unless gold is imported. The import duty on gold fell from 23.5 percent to 20 percent in 2005.

24 Karat Gold Jewelry

Gold Jewelry in China is mostly sold as 'chuk kam', which is virtually 24 karat gold jewelry. This is the traditional karatage used in gold jewelry and bought for ceremonial occasions along with jade. Gold jewelry is now also sold as 'K-gold', being 18 karat gold. K-gold was launched in 2003. Over half of K-gold jewelry is white gold jewelry which is very popular with the young urban chinese market.

History of Gold Jewelry in China

According to, "In the third and fourth centuries AD, gold became the preferred metal for hair ornaments in China. These ornaments were decorated with filigree, granulation, and precious stones. Necklaces were very rare in China before the seventh century AD."

Gold jewelry has always been seen as an investment by the Chinese. Communist China saw the regulation of chinese gold jewelry sales but this has now been reopened and gold jewelry is more popular than ever before.

ETF Price Suppression Mechanics

I've got a response up to Andrew Maguire's TF Metals Report article on the corporate blog "explaining" how bullion banks use ETFs to suppress the prices of gold and silver.

I wasn't planning on it turning into a 5200 word, 12 page article, but so many memes to set straight (do ETFs have the gold, ETF market making, share borrowing, 100:1 fractional reserve bullion banking) plus Andrew really didn't explain the "mechanics" very well.

I suspect Andrew expropriated Victor's idea about the ETFs being used as a source of metal, far too many similarities I think (eg reference to "inventory financing" and the selling and buying GLD versus unallocated strategies). Andrew really got himself into a knot however in explaining these.

I've had it on my to-do list to address Victor's post in detail, and I have sort of done that with this Andrew response, but it does not address Victor's inventory changes and "inventory strategy", for which I need time to analyse the numbers in detail myself.

I look forward to Victor rebutting my comments, which will be funny because he'll be supporting Andrew at the same time in a way.

One point I would make is that Andrew's post was originally written for TF's "Army" members. Ignoring the factual errors, the best that can be said is it was written in a slapdash way, stream of consciousness style, without much effort in writing simply and clearly. I would have thought paying members deserve better.

I was a bit suspicious when Andrew "arrived" out of nowhere with his evidence and then surprise, he shortly thereafter had a service to sell at http://www.coghlancapital.com/. Not supplying his CV also doesn't help (but FYI he has his own Wikipedia page). I also don't buy TF's explanation that Andrew "doesn't talk to ANYONE because of the ongoing CFTC investigation and the current silver manipulation civil lawsuit" - releasing a CV isn't going to be a problem in that respect. Jeff Christian has made a big deal about the CV, so why not bury him now on that matter?

Anyway, this article by Andrew has just got me asking more questions about him. This may seem like small stuff, but:

1. Andrew's use of "spot index" - this is not how London bullion traders talk (and I checked with a bullion bank contact to make sure and they said that phrase is not used).
2. Getting the number of GLD's APs massively wrong.
3. Borrowing shares "from the ETF".
4. "Allocated at the fix."

These are just not mistakes someone with deep knowledge of the bullion market would make. I note that his Coghlin website About section says "the last 19 years of which have been as a metals specialist" - doesn't say "precious metals specialist". My best guess at this time is he is a trader of base metals who made the switch to precious metals as that is the hot market and doesn't want to release his CV because it is hard to get people to pay you for precious metal trading advice if you can't demonstrate experience in that market.

Hey, this speculating without any facts and making stuff up is fun and easy. I should do more of it, everyone is doing it you know.

  1. Everyone knows that Andrew can't talk about his days as an insider at the gold market because that would blow London traders cover. /sarcasm.

    PS I didn't see a link to your report, are you planning to release it later? Can't wait to read it.

    PPS Does anyone else think the London trader meme is just a take off of Big Trader (who actually was really interesting?)

  2. Was your response in the comments section of the TF article? If so, I can't find it. Perhaps it was deleted?

    If not, I second BH. Where is it?

  3. Bron

    Thanks for taking the time.

    I also thought the similarities between Victor's post and Andrew's explanation peculiar.

    Also looking forward to Victor's response. :)

  4. Link here for those that want to read it :

    ETF Price Suppresion

  5. Yep sorry, forgot to include the link to the post on www.perthmintbullion.com

  6. "I suspect Andrew expropriated Victor's idea"

    Its Randal Strauss’ idea that FOFOA explored in "Who is Draining GLD?"

    Victor wrote a post a using data inspired by Lance Lewis' PUKE indicator to sketch out the empirical evidence supporting Randal Strauss' theory as laid out in FOFOA's "Who is Draining GLD?"

  7. I was not familiar with that site, and must confess that I found it, and particularly the comments section, flat-out scary, in a pathological kind of way (see below). I was totally baffled by the author’s argument, which was riddled with misunderstanding, inconsistency and holes as you pointed out. Additionally, I think that there are some philosophical issues.

    For example, consider “Most of us have been baffled over the years by the almost daily withdrawals and additions to the primary metal ETFs, GLD and SLV. There are seemingly no correlations to price movements” In other words, metal coming in or out must have an effect on price (or vice-a-versa) and the absence thereof is indicative of manipulation. This is patent nonsense. Have these people never heard of arbitrage? Nah, APs wouldn’t be interested in risk-free profit. Moreover, an investor could substitute long futures for long ETP. Net exposure would not change, but ETP metal holding could. What about big guys holding metal rather that ETPs since the storage charges are basically fixed beyond a certain point, as you and other have mentioned, meaning lower costs?

    To my mind, physical metal, ETP, futures etc. are all legitimate products to make directional bets on the metal, or arb inefficiencies among, products, markets and participants. If you don’t trust the ETPs, fine, hold the metal. But where does this visceral need to denigrate those investing in ETPs or futures come from? It can’t be as simple as a desire to bid prices up, since anyone who is long has that desire.

    And the comment section was pure paranoia and ignorance gold. A few at random (I couldn’t bear much):

    “you all need not know the exact mechanics of how GLD and SLV were created, and then deployed to control the price of the precious metals.” i.e. ignorance is bliss. Just listen to me and don’t worry about it. “first of all, it has been explained well enough for most to understand how fractional banking works. they have done the same thing with paper gold.” Beauty. It’s been explained well enough (if you don’t get it you’re an idiot) and so it must be the same here. Not only are there no facts whatsoever, there’s not even an attempt to make any arguments.

    “The only reason the bankers created SLV and GLD was to deflect investment demand for physical gold and silver into a paper vehicle (for the investors) they could control and manipulate.” Didn’t know that the World Gold Council was created and controlled by the bankers. Whodathunk that AngloGold, Barrick, Kinross, Newmont et. al. were interested in keeping the price of their product low. How altruistic management is! Those strikers in S. Africa should be ashamed of themselves.

    “And, the bankers still control those ETFs' physical holdings, as the custodians (JPM for SLV and HSBC for GLD) have the ability, as per the prospectus, to replace all the physical holdings of silver and gold, with dollars. It's all there in plain black-and-white print in the prospectii.” “Audit these entities like a normal public company. Like a grocery store or a Target. It's an outrage that they are not.” I guess somebody didn’t bother to read the prospectuses. Must be listening to the first guy above.

    “From what I can tell GLD has physical for delivery minus what AP has borrowed short (backed by long contract using 1/100 leverage). Are there stats anywhere indicating how much the APs have borrowed short?” Why did that 1/100 meme get such traction? I guess Gobbels was right about lies. APs borrowing Au from GLD definitely bears repeating as it has the ring of truthiness.

  8. Bron,

    Nice commentary on the Andrew Maguire piece.

    RE the term "fly-wheeling": if I had to guess a meaning for the term in the context used, it would be "to absorb and dampen short-term fluctuations." In the same way that an engine's flywheel is designed to smooth out the periodic bursts of energy released by the firing cylinders.

    Not particularly sinister, especially considering that the short position is likely short-lived.

  9. Also thank you for succinctly describing the basket creation / redemption process.

    I guess it makes sense that the transactions would involve unallocated gold, since that is the 'book entry' form of gold and thus easier (free!) to move around.

    You wouldn't transact in allocated, because what good would it do GLD to receive title to bars that are outside of its vault?

  10. Found it!

    "Borrow Short"

    Haven't read it.

  11. Well.

    Fekete is an academic and a mathematician, hardly a metals trader. :)

    It does give some insight on what other sources Maguire drew in addition to VtC's article in doing his err exposition.

  12. Thanks Bron, it was a great read, really well written.

    I have a question about your conclusion that potential price management is to be found in COMEX or the OTC market;

    At the end of the day, does it basically require a gold price manager (if they exist) to sell their actual physical gold to bring the price down, and buy to raise it?

    When I'm encountered with a problem I can't solve, I try to turn it into plumbing: Where does the water start and leave, complicated plumbing connections be damned.

  13. Anon,

    I'll modify the post to mention Randal Strauss and Lance Lewis.

    Michael H,

    I think Maguire's use of flywheeling is more about the disconnect between GLD and the "real" price, but your definition of the word is interesting and more inline with what Victor's post is about - I like the visualisation it gives re dampening fluctuations.

    S Roche,

    Good find. Re-reading Maguire's post I don't think he is talking about borrowing short and lending long.

    Beer Holiday,

    The gold can only come from existing holders (central bankers or private investors) with the supply being acquired by BBs either by the holder selling or lending it.

    Keep in mind there is a difference between manipulation (short term) and suppression (long term).

    Seems I have some comments to respond to on http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/blog/4338/guest-post-smelly-smoke-signals-nn-l?page=1

  14. Bron,

    look forward to Victor rebutting my comments,

    Well, you haven't written anything that would contradict what I said in my GLD article, and so there simply isn't anything to rebut.

  15. At best, he is a back-office monkey trader wannabe.

  16. "Jeff Christian has made a big deal about the CV"

    Jeff Christian has made a big deal about the CFTC never acknowledging Andrew Maguire's emails. They did.

    Jeff Christian has made a big deal about the CFTC employee who replied to Andrew Maguire's emails having never worked there. Bart Chilton confirmed he did.

    Whatever. Andrew Maguire's trades make money, consistently. Jeff Christian's public short term calls have been woeful, he has buried himself, and seems ever more shrill while Andrew maintains a dignified silence....well, sort of.

    You may well be correct in your assessment.

  17. S Roche

    For what it is worth, I agree that Jeff handled that situation poorly.

    He initially stated that he was not aware that the CFTC had received those emails. Later he stated that he couldn't be bothered to check. The later, as you mentioned, he said that Bart Chilton never worked at the CFTC to his knowledge (and that he can't be bothered to check).

    In all those cases he should have done due diligence before making such claims. Not doing so has tarnished his credibility.

    It is possible to explain away these actions using basic human psychology, but that is no excuse.

    Nevertheless, even in conceding that, Maguire does seem to be operating under false pretenses, and is and has made many bogus claims.

    Hi trade record also is irrelevant to that fact.

  18. Hey MF,

    JC claimed Eliud Ramirez never worked at the CFTC, not Bart C.

    The thing about the "bogus claims" attributed to AM is that I can't find any evidence that Andrew actually made the claims himself. Others may have. He has lots of loopy supporters, as well as fine upstanding ones...

    His trading record is the ONLY relevant fact to anyone subscribing to his service, which Bron refers to as a possible motive for his appearance on the scene. The world is full of PhD's, with impressively credentialled CVs, who have Properly f'd up.

    I know of one well-credentialled PM analyst who called for $1350 gold on CNBC just as it hit its recent low of $1552. He even went so far as to add that gold-miners would do well to hedge right then. Purely co-incidentally, his business works with miners negotiating hedges.

    Not Jeff Christian's best call. But, if we are going to call people out for talking their book we will have a pretty full calender.

  19. It is probably better that Andrew doesn't have precious metals experience in terms of his trading - less theories and more just reading the price the better I suppose.

  20. S Roche -

    I do not subscribed to Andrew's trading service. I take it you do?

    Just for clarification: when you say that his trades make money - are you actually trading on his notifications, and making money in your own account?

  21. Left a response to some questions/criticisms at TF here http://www.tfmetalsreport.com/comment/241958#comment-241958

  • Serves: 8
  • Cook Time: 30 minutes
  • Prep Time: 35 minutes
  • Effort: easy

For the pastry

  • 170 g plain flour
  • pinch salt
  • 75 g unsalted butter

For the filling and topping

  • 170 g strawberry or raspberry jam
  • 110 g unsalted butter
  • 110 g vanilla sugar
  • 110 g ground almonds
  • 3 eggs, plus one additional egg yolk
  • 1 tsp almond extract
  • handfuls blanched flaked almonds
  • cream, to serve

1. Combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

2. Stir in enough iced water to bring the mixture together into a smooth dough. Roll the pastry out to line a 23cm tart tin and chill for 30 minutes, or until required.

3. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6. Spread a layer of jam generously over the tart base.

6. Pour in the hot butter and whisk until smooth.

7. Spoon the mixture over the jam.

8. Transfer the tart to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes, until lightly browned and just set, scattering the flaked almonds over the tart after 25 minutes so that they get a chance to brown slightly.

The Vitruvian Man

Friday, 1st August 2008 by

The Vitruvian Man (Wikipedia) was drawn around 1487 by Leonardo Da Vinci, and has since become not only the most famous of Da Vinci’s works, but also one of the most famous images ever created. The drawing depicts a male nude in two superimposed positions within a square and a circle – the archetypal ‘perfect man’. Da Vinci was a talented anatomical artist, and was apparently rather partial to regularly cutting up corpses to help hone his skills.

In fact the Vitruvian Man is more than just a pretty picture – it’s also an extremely clever mathematical triumph, as it correctly relates the man’s proportions to historic measurements, such as the foot (six of which add up to his height), the cubit, hand and fathom. The complexity of the design will forever ensure that no overly-ambitious artist attempts to re-create it on Google Earth using the medium of “crop maze”.

Oh. Damn.

To give them their due credit, the people responsible for this German crop maze have done a pretty amazeing job – although, putting my ruler and pedantry skills into action showed that the “square” is more like 80 x 83m… and the circle is a bit wobbly compared to the original… but the positioning of the navel exactly in the centre is impressive!

This is actually the 2001 version of the town’s annual hemp labyrinth tradition, which in the past has seen a particularly spectacular map of Europe, a portrait of Albert Einstein and a tribute to the 2004 Athens Olympics. You can see aerial photos of them all at the maze’s website.

Thanks to godlike.

Google Forces You to Install Google Pack

If you try to download Google Desktop, you'll see something strange: you have to download Google Updater, an executable available that's a part of Google Pack, the collection of Google software and third-party applications launched last year.

"The Google Updater is the program that downloads and installs all the software in the Google Pack. You can use the Google Updater to monitor the status of your installation, run software that's been installed, or uninstall software. A Google Updater icon will appear in your system tray and will display notifications when new software is available."

So if you try to download Google Desktop, you're forced to download Google Pack, or at least Google Pack's core, which is Google Updater. You can look at Google Updater like an equivalent of the "Add or remove programs" included in Windows. Unlike the application manager from Windows, Google Updater monitors the applications for new versions and is configured to automatically update the applications.

It seems that Google tries to centralize the way you install and manage Google software, so I wouldn't be surprised if you'll be forced to install the Updater for any Google software in the near future. Like Google Toolbar, which is a way to push new services and feature, Google Pack and the updater are a way to push new software from Google and its partners (there's a "Show new software" link that sends you to a page that lists software from Google Pack you don't have on your computer).

Note: In case you don't see the text below when you go to Google Desktop, this is the page where you should've been redirected. There's a workaround if you want to download only Google Desktop: this link.

Update: This is a new version of Google Pack (2.0 beta) that will be used to install individual Google products. Even if the download pages are not changed for everyone yet, Google Toolbar for IE and Google Earth for Windows will be installed in the same way.

  1. > "...and is configured to..."
    and CAN be configured to..
    but is the default configuration

    google updater is also annoying because it installs itself just running the executable, you have no choice of installing it or running it just this time, anyway after you install the desired application you can just uninstall the google updater

  2. I recently started using Google Updater (Google Pack) on my supported PC's and find it surprisingly useful and convenient.

    IMHO, I hope Google use this method for more of their products, as well as adding more external Apps.

  3. Despite not an advocate for forced installation of software, I find that the idea of Google Pack is quite useful to me.

    Just a few days ago, I reinstalled my XP on my notebook;
    Google Pack saved me some clicks and typing by letting me choose all Google's products (and a few others) on one page and install them in a batch.

  4. Hmm probably i just don't see the problem here - where is it?

    Google Updater is just a little mini-software (like adobe downloader or stuff like that). What's the problem with it? Are you forced to install any _real_ other software or is it just the updater? Your blog title is kinde wrong i think. i don't see any "pack" here.

    and when marcel states that the google updater installs itslef when starting he probably means it's creating an icon and a start-menu entry ;) anything else would be strange just becaus if it needs to be installed it wouldn't run without prior installation.

    "nothing special to say about google today so let's write some cheap stuff"

  5. Despite not an advocate for forced installation of software, I find that the idea of Google Pack is quite useful to me.

    It may be useful, but you should install it only if you want it.

    Google Updater is just a little mini-software (like adobe downloader or stuff like that). What's the problem with it? Are you forced to install any _real_ other software or is it just the updater?

    Well, Mr. Frank, you don't just install a downloader, you install a software that runs in the background and monitors for Google software updates. It also alerts you when a new software is added to Google Pack.

    Your blog title is kinde wrong i think. i don't see any "pack" here.

    Google Pack is a collection of software + the updater. When you try to install Google Desktop, you'll have to agree with Google Pack TOS, the updater is hosted at pack.google.com and it's the main point of the Google Pack. So I don't see anything wrong with the title.

    I said "forced" because you want to install Google Desktop and you get Google Pack. There's not obvious alternative to install only Google Desktop.

    nothing special to say about google today so let's write some cheap stuff

    I don't write cheap stuff. Believe me.

  6. And it's not the first time when Google forces you to install Google Pack.

    The last time was when they dropped the Picasa referrals from AdSense and replaced them with Google Pack ads. The new ads say:

    * "Organize your photos. Google Pack"

    * "Crop, sharpen, make pictures pop. Get the free Google Pack."

    * "Organize your digital photo album with the free Google Pack"

    This is kind of misleading. Google Pack is not a photo manager, it includes one.

  7. With the potential security issues in Google Desktop, and with many other software packages coming with auto-update functionality (Firefox & Thunderbird, Adobe Reader, Windows), I'm finding it hard to see the problem here. Yes, they force you to have update capabilities--so do many others. Can you uninstall the Google Update software? That puts them a step above the others whose updating is built in. Updating should have been built in to Google Desktop? Why, when they have a perfectly good updating tool already available. Google Update allows the user (not forced) to install other apps from Google Pack as well, so of course they would have to agree to the Google Pack agreement.

    This is just silly.

  8. No, John. Google Desktop has always had auto-update. Like most Google software.

    It's interesting to test if Google software obeys the settings from the updater. For example, the toolbar always updates automatically without notifications. But Google Updater has an option to notify you when there are updates or to let you manually update software.

  9. Hi Ionut, just curious, how exactly did you come across that fast installation link, the default page gives you the .exe directly..

  10. Easy. I went to desktop.google.com to download the latest version of Google Desktop (I've already had it installed), and I was redirected to that page. From what I've read at Google Desktop group this isn't very new and it's the expected behavior.

    Now when I visit desktop.google.com I get the old page that opens the .exe directly. Maybe they're still testing this.

  11. Google Toolbar and Google Earth seem to be the next apps that will install using the updater. I found the terms & conditions pages for:

    -> Google Earth

    -> Toolbar

  12. Google calls this new behavior Google Pack in "single installer mode".

    A comment from a JavaScript file:
    "For example, when new users visit Toolbar website, download and install Toolbar via the Updater, the Updater is in the single installer mode instead of the full Pack mode."

  13. I won't use any tools that cannot be installed without the Google Updater.

    If they mutilate the Google Earth installer this way, the program has to go.

  14. There will always be a direct link to the setup, but I assume Google will not display it on the download page. And that's pretty bad.

  15. Sounds EVIL to me

  16. I noticed this behavior when trying to download Picasa in January.

  17. echowhiskey, I agree: I will be less likely to try new Google software this way. I've already uninstalled the updater twice. Google isn't evil yet, but forced benevolence is not far off. It asks "good for whom?" It would be very good for me to have all my Gmail accounts accessible at one login, but apparently this is not good for them. Likewise, it is very nice to have software that checks for updates when it loads (via an option), because I am already giving it authority to use my system resources. Or, make it a Google Account preference, but I have a lurking suspicion that my account isn't really for me. My most recent installer encounter was after trying the Pack sreensaver. For as intuitive as Picasa is, this is a shockingly underachieving work. They have better software lost in the labs! So here's a subpar offering bundled with a force install... it's worth criticism: who is Google servicing? In the end their success is built on our (the users) good-will, and mine is ever so slightly more hesitant.

  18. this is some pretty pathetic attention seeking. The google installer can be used to install lots of things, including the Google Pack. this comes from the same school of journalism as the "Multimedia Messaging Service sends porn to your kids" headlines.

  19. No, gavinzac, I don't need anybody's attention and this is not journalism. I just saw a glimpse of the future and reported about it.

    Let's analyze the headline:

    Google - that's the company we're talking about.

    forces you to install - the verb is in no way an exaggeration. I want to install something, but Google gives me something else that will install what I want. It's like Winamp that will only install using FlashGet (a download manager).

    Google Pack - I didn't make any confusion between Google Updater and Google Pack. The Pack is a list of software managed using the Updater. In this case the list of software contains only the software you want to download (like Google Desktop).

    So if you can't understand something that simple, please refrain from posting your thoughts.

  20. For those who didn't believe me when I wrote this:

    * Now Google Toolbar UK redirects you to a Google Pack page where you can download Google Updater + Toolbar.

    So http://toolbar.google.co.uk redirects to http://toolbar.google.com/T4/intl/en-GB/index_pack.html.

    * This also happens for Google Toolbar Germany.

    * I'm sure you noticed that Google Desktop for Mac can only be downloaded using Google Updater.

  21. a direct link to the latest Google Earh installer - without the "updater"

  22. I agree with all of the sceptics re Google. I want to be in control about what goes onto my pc. Is that too much to ask?

  23. I can't install Google Toolbar because Google Updater has problems with our Firewall at work. I've just got a new laptop at work, and they don't seem to allow Google Updater through the firewall. So, I'm unable to download the Google Toolbar, because it now seems only installable by using Updater.

  24. Suppose I have downloaded and installed Google pack softwares through Google updater. What if I had to format my system and reinstall OS? I have no way to reinstall softwares already downloaded with Google updater.The only way I see now is to download and install again using Google updater. There is no way to get the setup files. Its just a waste of time to download each time. It seems Google wants to give free software but at the cost of user's time. Even this is ok for small softwares but really irritating for suite like star office.

  25. I have a Mac with Leopard installed and the updater pops up on my screen about every 15 minutes. There is no way to stop this short uninstalling Google Earth.

    Anyone have an idea on how to keep this from popping open?

  26. barry,

    Same problem here - after upgrading to Leopard the Google Updater keeps popping up, and it shows that it is tracking every backup copy of every Google program on my Time Machine drive!

  27. How do I stop Google Updater from popping up all the time in Mac OS X Leopard?? I can't find any 'uninstall' option.

  28. To uninstall Google Updater I just typed in the Terminal:

    sudo rm -rf /Library/Google

    That will remove the directory with Google updater.app

  29. Mmmmm... the way I see it is.. I bought MY computer with MY money and I would like control over the software I have on it...thanks anyway, Google--- see the following quote from The Big G

    How do I uninstall Google Updater?
    To uninstall Google Updater, you first have to uninstall other Google software on your computer. You can't uninstall Google Updater while you have Google software on your computer because we need it there to keep your software up-to-date.

    end of quote-well I've been prompted to this as my laptop fan has been running because the insidious updater has been trying to connect to The Mother Ship-- should I let it--No Way

  30. For those of you who want control over your own computer and want Google Earth try either changing the location from the USA to OTHER or try: http://earth.google.com/intl/en/download-earth.html#no_redirect

    FYI. I had no trouble uninstalling Google updater without removing my Google software. And I reckon we should write to Google about this. It's something hardly anyone wants. People are afraid they will get too big. The public are the only ones who can stop them going to far. I think this qualifies.

  31. total control - by google over poor little desperate users/loosers

  32. i am not getting my google pack

  33. security feature...
    they don't want to be responsible when you get hacked ;)

  34. Usually when things happen automatically,I end up re formatting drive C. usually things go pear shape. so I am reluctant to trust Google updater.

  35. I cannot get rid of the Google Updater on my XP Pro machine. I have uninstalled it and re-started the computer five or six times, but one of those dialog boxes telling you that an application has failed to load properly (Google Updater) keeps popping up every few minutes for the past three days. I have clicked the buttons on "send error message" to Microsoft, "Don't Send", and "Debug". This is extremely annoying. I checked to make sure it was gone and also made sure it was removed from the Start-Up menu. Is getting rid of Google Earth the only way to stop this? The last time I had a problem like this was years ago when I uninstalled Norton Antivirus and it took the entire computer with it. "Google Updater" apparently tried this, but I was finally able to boot up in Safe Mode and get my computer going again.

  36. There are two different questions.
    -Is google pack necessary?
    -Do i have a choice over installing it?

    Pack or Google Updater, is google's unified auto update mechanism. Like all other softwares, auto update is shipped with the product you chose. Be it Earth, desktop, or toolbar. However, you DO have a choice to uninstall it if you want to. And its easy, just click uninstall Google Updater from your start menu.

    For the first question, A software is dead without auto update. Security vulnerabilities WILL be found in future, and there should be a mechanism to patch systems already using softwares(like Toolbar, Desktop, Spyware Doctor), lest you want crackers to take control of your system. You can chose to have individual updaters for each software, or none at all, if thats what you wish.

    Pack is meant for the users, who dont WANT to keep track of every new security patch. If you have a problem with the auto updater being UNIFIED, then just go ahead, and have different updaters for all different softwares, even when you know they all are doing essentially the same thing.

    Rest are just brazen doubts over the intentions of a corporate.

  37. PLEASE HELP . I only have dial up 56k internet ,
    google pack is downloading to my pc , i can see these files BIT1.tmp ,BIT2.tmp ,BIT3.tmp , BIT4tmp etc....in C:\Documents and Settings\Dean\Local Settings\Temp\ , i dont want this and i really dont know how it started to get on my pc , as i am very aware of things i install, can any please tell me how to stop this from downloading , everytime i delete those bit.temp files they re-appear and start downloading again .

    thanks .

  38. Google updater? That isn't installed on my pc but it still tries to every 24 hours.
    Not quite irritating, but more like a dog that barks at your gate every day - sooner or later you are going to go outside and put some rat poison on a nice juicy steak...

  39. I recently installed Google Earth and along with it came the Google Updater. It didn't seem like a problem until the next time I restarted my machine.

    Upon restart, my Google Talk (which is supposed to load automatically at startup) was missing. Instead, I get an explorer window on my desktop directed at C:\Program Files\Google that just sits there.

    I have tried everything possible to fix this. I've finally managed to get my GoogleTalk to start up again at startup, but that infernal window just refuses to go away. I have removed/deleted/uninstalled every reference possible to the Google Updater, it's exe, the startup scheduled tasks, removed it from the registry, and even (unsuccessfully) tried to remove it from the startup list in msconfig.

    I am about to restart my machine, and if it doesn't go away I am simply uninstalling Google Earth and never using it again. If that doesn't fix the irritation, I don't know what will.

    My issue is - each Google program or utility is built with its own update checking and notifications. There really is no need for yet another system-resource chowing bandwidth-hungry hard-to-get-rid-of piece of software that does, essentially, a duplicate task.

    Love Google, but seriously, this is starting to make me angry. It wouldn't have been such an issue if the Updater hadn't mucked with the way my system runs.

Obama Guy Explains How We’ve Got It All Wrong

An angsty young Obama supporter – our old friend James “The Obama Guy” (Listen to all Obama Guy’s appearances here) – is pretty displeased at the way that President Obama is being portrayed right now. James explains to me that Obama capped the oil well, nominated a wonderful woman to the nation’s highest court, and is really looking out for all of our interests. And how did we thank him? Tanking poll numbers…

Lastly, Obama Guy explains the real story behind Lindsay Lohan’s substance abuse issues… You don’t want to miss the return of entertainment, information, and a general sense of well being.

3 thoughts on “Obama Guy Explains How We’ve Got It All Wrong”

  1. I’ve missed you. (Hugs) Glad James cleared up the oil spill issue. I thought for sure it was W’s fault but now I find out it was Rush. Of course, this makes perfect sense to me now. The drugs and all.
    Keep splattering your mirror with tooth paste. No worries. They say it makes the glass shinny and we all like the shinny things. Do hope Sioux Falls knows how lucky they are to have you!

Stacking the Shelves #35

Posted by Kara in Kara, Stacking the Shelves / 23 Comments

Welcome to Stacking the Shelves! Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Team Tynga’s Reviews. This is where we showcase books we have received or bought during the week.

Today is my 35th edition of Stacking the Shelves. Here’s to another happy 35!

This week is also Great Imaginations’ 2 year blogoversary. We’re not planning anything too huge, but we do have a lovely Easter giveaway planned for that week and we are also giving away a gift card. There will be 3 winners. Guys, I wish I could give you the world, but I just don’t have the funds to do it right now, so I do the best that I can.

I love all of you more than you could ever know. This community has saved me and given my life a purpose. Without you guys, I’d be the mess I was before I found you all.

I just feel like I needed to say that. I realize that sometimes I may talk too much, and sometimes I have a big mouth and open it when it should stay shut. But I do it because I love this community. We all have different ways of expressing ourselves and I am totally okay with that. I know that not everyone is going to like me. But those of you that do, and accept me as I am?

 photo GIF-26.gif

All the squishy hugs for you.

I guess I’d better get to the books now, but because of some of the events that went on this week, I felt I really needed to get a few things off my chest.

Okay, books. So this week I only got one book for review. But last weekend, Dan took me to Books A Million (well, rather, he took himself and I tagged along. They didn’t have the book he wanted and I bought 5. LOL.) and I bought some of the books that I had been wanting over the last month or so. I kept myself out of the adult section or I would have been COMPLETELY out of control. And I have a shipment from Amazon coming this week still.

 photo GIF-17.gif
For Review:

Wasteland by Susan Kim and Laurence Klavan (Thanks EpicReads!)

I Bought:

Let the Sky Fall by Shannon Messenger

Spellcaster by Claudia Gray

Starstruck by Rachel Shukert

When We Wake by Karen Healey

The Farm by Emily McKay

Phew! So those were the ones I wanted that I saw at BAM. But there are 5 more, I think, coming from Amazon. I am supposed to get them via UPS today and I cannot wait!

Like I needed any more books. But you know I don’t buy a big stack like this very often. Right? RIGHT? Haha.

 photo bookcover5_zps169937d6.jpg photo bookcover4_zps6dac3d1b.jpg

This is W.A.R. by Lisa Roecker and Laura Roecker (Thank you to Soho Teen and Edelweiss)

After the Ending by Lindsey Fairleigh and Lindsey Pogue (Bought as 1.99 Kindle Daily Deal)

And that’s it for me this week! Right as I was typing up this post, I got that Amazon shipment I was waiting on. I thought about including it here, but I’ve just decided to wait and put it in next week’s haul. But…IT IS AWESOME. Best book shipment EVARRRRR. Anyway, leave me links, links, links. I want to see your stash!

  1. Amy

    Awesome week!!! I got This is W.A.R. too and I am really looking forward to it!! You bought a lot of really awesome books this week too! Can’t wait to see your amazon haul next week!!

  2. Shelley Romano

    I just finished Wasteland and we definitely need to chat about it sometime. I’m looking forward to reading This is WAR very soon as well. Love your haul! Have a great weekend!

  3. Micheline D

    Fab week!! Congrats on the upcoming blogoversary 😀 Wasteland & Let the Sky Fall both look great – I hope you’ll enjoy ALL these goodies & squishy hugs right back at you!!

  4. Bonnie R

    Aww.. *hugs* :)

    Oooh… The Farm! I won a copy of this and was of course, ecstatic at the time, and… it’s currently gathering dust. Must get on this. Never heard of This is W.A.R. but that cover is pretty awesome.

  5. Katrina (athousand-lives)

    Nice haul, Kara! I’ve been waiting to read Let the Sky Fall as well. Hopefully it’s good. I saw This is War in EW and thought about requesting it but I still have SO MANY books to get through so I didn’t. (Oh my God. I exercised control! It’s practically unheard of in book bloggers. Lol) I’ll have to wait and see what you think of it.

  6. Stephanie

    Congratulations on 2 years! I’m very curious about Let the Sky Fall, but I can’t decide whether to read that one or Shannon Messenger’s middle grade first.

    • Kara_Malinczak

      Whatever you like. I’m happy to let you borrow it. I just bought it and I probably won’t get to it soon so I’d be happy to send it. See if there is something on my tbr that you have. Or something.

  7. Sandy

    Happy 2 years! I just realized that I totally missed my 2 year blogoversary! I can’t believe I wasn’t paying attention! Sounds like you guys have a great week planned! Enjoy it!

    Check out my SP & STS.

    Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know

  8. Kah Cherub

    Some people seem to have been disappointed with Wsateland, but hopefully it won’t be your case. 😉 The Farm sounds like a cool read. Enjoy!

  9. Renae M.

    I really liked When We Wake, Kara, and I hope you do as well. It’s one I wish I purchased when it came out. Really excellent.

  10. Kristilyn (Reading In Winter)

    Great books! I love bookstore trips! I’ve been eyeing The Farm each and every time I go to the bookstore. I love the cover for it! And I really love the cover for This is W.A.R. I’m tempted to request it, but I’ve been drawn to contemporaries lately.

    Enjoy all your books, Kara!

  11. Kat Balcombe

    Ooooo pretties! I’ve been trying to decide whether to buy When We Wake for weeks now – I even thought I’d preordered it for a while, but it turns out I was dreaming it.

    Enjoy 😀

  12. Giselle

    Yay happy blogoversary, darling! And I approve of the BB gifs! Dan!! <3 Hah Jessie’s head is like a whole being on its own.

    Omg I’ve been meaning to get The Farm for like 43 years! I also can’t wait to read This Is WAR! 😀 Great haul dollface!

Review for Cakes On Wheels, Minneapolis, MN, USA

Rating: 4 stars

Urban Ventures has had to priviledge to work with Cake on Wheels over the last year, as Veronica has provided birthday cakes for our youth participant of our low-income families. It has been a blessing to know that a simple cake is bringing together our families and allowing our youth to know someone cares about them and wants to celebrate their BIRTH! Veronica has always been super flexible, understanding, and great to work with. Since we serve a diverse community, it is extremely helpful that she has been able to communicate in English & Spanish. WE LOVE CAKE ON WHEELS! Thank you!

Chai Pumpkin Spice Thumbprint Cookies

Home » Recipes » Chai Pumpkin Spice Thumbprint Cookies

Fall is quickly approaching, and we wanted to offer an easy fall cookie recipe to offer during this cozy season; enjoy these Chai Pumpkin Spice Thumbprint Cookies!

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup strongly brewed chai tea
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp finely ground chai tea
  • Pumpkin butter

Combine the butter and sugar in the bowl of your stand mixer and cream at medium speed until fluffy, or with a hand mixer, for about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg, chai tea, and the vanilla, mix until combined. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt, scraping down the sides of the mixing bowl as necessary. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

Using your hands, roll the dough into 22 to 24 1 inch round balls. Place the dough balls on parchment paper lined baking sheets and sprinkle finely ground chai tea lightly over cookies. Press a thumbprint in the center of each ball, and then spoon ¼ tsp of pumpkin butter in the center on each cookie.

Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes. Cool, and enjoy!

Grown-Up Field Trip: Part 1

 A few months ago, I had several close friends come to me with questions about my birthday:

What do you have planned?
Well, nothing yet.
What do you want to do?
Maybe just a dinner or something.

and then the questions followed with

Because I have a wedding/wedding shower on your birthday.....

With the first friend, I didn't think much of it but then when #2 and #3 came around I started to get a little upset/disappointed. Don't my closest and most loyal friends know that they are to leave October 22nd open forever and always?

Instead of sulking about the situation, I decided to plan a trip to Plymouth, Massachusetts. Yes, of all the places to plan a birthday celebration, I chose Plymouth. With my love of genealogy and my connection to the area, I was determined to go, with. or without. anyone! At first, it was just going to be me on this lovely voyage but then my mom worked her magic, and was able to get off work, so she and my youngest sister were able to join me!

The weekend started out great with a major victory for my brother. They were the big upset win over the undefeated East Paulding Raiders. The final score was 29-23!

I can honestly say, the entire visitor section was beaming! We were all so proud of our Greyhounds!

Our flight the next morning was at 815 and we made it into Boston around noonish. We walked through Quincy Market to see all the yummy foods before sitting down for lunch at Wagamamas. I first fell in love with Wagamamas when I studied in London during Jan Term. The food is fresh, delicious and quick!  And just my luck, they have one in Boston! My meal was just like I remembered and what made it even better was that mom liked it too!

After lunch, we drove to our hotel in Plymouth, checked in and immediately hit the road again to see the sites. Our first destination: Plymouth Rock.

I was warned before I left about the size of the rock. "It's not very big, you know!" or "Don't be disappointed when you actually see the rock." I was realistic however; I knew that pieces of it had been chipped away by souvenir seekers and that it had been moved several times, especially during the Revolutionary War. There is still something to be said about seeing the rock, though. Maybe it means more to me because my 9th Great-Grandfather was the 'first' to step on it but I still thought it was flippin cool, in the words of my father!

After we saw the rock, we moved on to the Mayflower II. The Mayflower II is a replica of the originial that sailed almost 400 years ago. The ship, in comparison to the amount of passengers onboard (102), was tiny and with the rough seas that they endured, the Captain probably kept them all underneath for their protection. We learned the next day, that there was supposed to be a second ship, The Speedwell, going over but the Captain did not agree with what the Pilgrims were seeking (religious freedom), so he rigged the masts incorrectly and played dumb, leaving the ship unsailable and making everyone merge onto one ship, the Mayflower.
The Mayflower II
Our first day was a little rushed because we had an early dinner reservation at the Plimouth Plantation for their Harvest Dinner. Yes, we're strange, we know. I was actually a little disappointed that dinner was inside! We have done an Irish dinner inside a castle before and so I was totally ready for that setting. I was prepared for dinner in a Pilgrim house or even just outside with a table and bench. The food was actually good and their was a lot of it! It was all family style and you were only given a pewter plate (salad size), a steel knife (with rust) and a soup spoon. I'll be honest with you, at lunch before we left Boston, we kept saying "Eat as much as you can because you don't know if dinner is going to be any good." Well, we were stuffed at the end of the night, which happened to be just after seven.

Because of our early morning wake up call and with much of Plymouth already closed, we decided to call it a night for the day. Eleven hours later though, I did not regret our decision one bit! For now we were rested for our official and exciting full day ahead!
