If you use LinkedIn, then you are probably familiar with the Recommendation function. It's the one where you can write up a glowing report about someone with whom you have worked or vice versa. The idea, of course, is that your positive opinion of them enhances their credibility.
Well, LinkedIn has introduced a new feature called Endorsements. With just one click, you can now endorse your connections for a skill they have listed on their profile or recommend one they have not added. The upshot is that now when you look at a connection's profile, you not only see the skills he or she claims to possess, you see what others agree are the skills that he or she actually has.
On the top of your connections' profiles, you will now see a box titled recommended endorsements. You just click the ones with which you agree.
Or, if you scroll down to the new Skills and Expertise section, you can see which skills were endorsed and by whom. The skill that has been endorsed by the most people appears at the top of the list with the rest appearing in descending order of popularity.
The great thing about this feature is that it creates an easy way to scan for a specific skill set. It's also faster to create than writing a recommendation. After all, it can take some time and forethought to write up a good one.
My own experience as a PR person tells me that you're going to want to keep asking colleagues for written recommendations as well as endorsements. Endorsements focus on skills while recommendations focus on your qualities as a co-worker or strategic partner - they should be complimentary.
Also, you're going to want to give some thought to the skills that you want endorsed. You need to manage how you are perceived and act accordingly. While you can't control which skills people choose to endorse, you can let your connections know which ones you want featured. Or, at the very least, check your endorsements periodically to make sure that the picture being painted of you reflects your best talents.

Ian MacDonald Hummer (born August 23, 1990) is an American professional basketball player for Peristeri of the Greek Basket League. He has previously played professionally in countries such as Turkey, Russia, France (Monaco), Germany and Finland. He is from Vienna, Virginia and played college basketball for the Princeton Tigers. He was the 2009 The Washington Post Boys basketball Player of the Year for Gonzaga College High School as a senior in high school and the 2013 Ivy League Men's Basketball Player of the Year as a senior in college for Princeton.

At Princeton, he is the second leading scorer (behind Bill Bradley) and fifth leading rebounder in program history. He led the team to three postseason tournaments and the 2010–11 Ivy League Championship. He holds the Ivy League record for most single-season and career Player of the Week Awards. He earned Associated Press 2013 All-American honorable mention recognition. Both his father, Ed, and uncle, John, are distinguished former Princeton Tigers men's basketball players. His 2008 Gonzaga team won the District of Columbia championships throughout his junior year.

Background
Hummer played for Gonzaga College High School of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC). He joined the starting lineup for the final two months of his sophomore season. Hummer was a second team 2007–08 All-Metro DC selection by The Washington Post as Gonzaga finished as the top-ranked school in the Metro area during his junior year. The team's point guard was sophomore Tyler Thornton.  Hummer scored 16 points and added 14 rebounds in the 2008 city championship game victory against Theodore Roosevelt High School. He was a 2008–09 All-Metro DC selection and Boys basketball Player of the Year by The Washington Post. Hummer scored a career-high 32 points and added 15 rebounds against DeMatha Catholic High School on January 21, 2009. His performance earned him recognition by ESPN RISE as its ESPN RISE National Boys Basketball Player of the Week. The team's success over #15-ranked Dematha propelled it from 43 to 13 in the national rankings. However, Gonzaga lost the 2009 WCAC championship by a 62–61 margin on a last second shot to DeMatha despite 18 points and 10 rebounds by Hummer. Hummer was a 2009 Capital All-Star selection.

Hummer was a  back to the basket player who generally defended opposing high school centers. He had an underdeveloped face-up game yet he was undersized to play that style of game in power conferences. Power conference schools questioned how much potential he had in a league where his low post skills would likely be defended by larger, stronger and/or more athletic players who relegated him to perimeter play. When Princeton head coach Sydney Johnson recruited him, the only competition was mid-major schools and Hummer was not interested in any of them. During his campus visit with his father at his brother Alex's (Princeton Class of 2011) dorm room, he decided at midnight to go hang out at Dan Mavraides room across campus, signalling to his father that he was pretty comfortable with Princeton and likely to attend. Due to Hummer's relationship with former Princeton and current Georgetown Hoyas men's basketball head coach John Thompson III, he was able to train at the Georgetown University gym over the summers. He also played in the Kenner League (the only National Collegiate Athletic Association–sanctioned summer league in the Washington, D.C.) during the summer.

Haglund's Deformity, commonly known as Pump Bump, is pain related to inflammation of the soft tissues overlying the prominence on the outside portion of the back of the heel bone. This prominence is often times seen in people who have a relatively high arch. X-rays of the foot may not show the actual prominence of the bone but they will often show an increased pitch of the heel bone which causes the heel bone to become more prominent. Pressure from the heel counter of the shoe can cause irritation to this region of the heel bone.
Treatment includes calf stretching, anti-inflammatory medications, ice and even a cortisone injection if indicated. Key features in shoe selection include shoes with a heel lift as well as a soft heel counter or open back. A shoe with a heel lift decreases the pull of the Achilles tendon which attaches at the site of pain on the back of the heel bone. Using a shoe with a soft heel counter or a shoe with an open back is one of the most important tools for decreasing pain. For women, a mule or wedged shoe can be an ideal shoe selection.

Czernidłak brązowoszary (Coprinopsis ephemeroides (DC.) G. Moreno) – gatunek grzybów należący do rodziny kruchaweczkowatych (Psathyrellaceae).

Systematyka
Pozycja w klasyfikacji według Index Fungorum: Coprinopsis, Psathyrellaceae, Agaricales, Agaricomycetidae, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi.

Po raz pierwszy opisał go w 1805 r. Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, nadając mu nazwę Agaricus ephemeroides. Obecną, uznaną przez Index Fungorum nazwę nadał mu G. Moreno 2010 r. Ostatnie dane molekularne wskazują, że gatunek ten nie należy do Coprinus ani Coprinopsis i prawdopodobnie będzie włączony do oddzielnego rodzaju.

Ma 8 synonimów. Niektóre z nich:
 Coprinus bulbillosus Pat. 1889
 Coprinus ephemeroides (DC.) Fr. 1838.
Polską nazwę zarekomendował w 2003 r. Władysław Wojewoda (dla synonimu Coprinus ephemeroides). Jest niespójna z aktualną nazwą naukową.

Morfologia
 Kapelusz
Wysokość 4–7 mm, średnica 2–3 mm, początkowo elipsoidalny do kulistego, potem przechodzący w rozwarto-stożkowy do wypukłego, na koniec potem płaski o średnicy 7–12 mm. Brzeg początkowo podwinięty, potem wyprostowujący się, z wiekiem wywinięty do góry. Powierzchnia grubo prążkowana, pokryta białawymi granulkami, które stają się bladożółte i grubsze na środku, w miarę dojrzewania kapelusz staje się ogólnie popielatoszary.
 Blaszki
Wolne, przyrośnięte, stosunkowo wąskie, początkowo białawe, potem szare, w końcu czarniawe, zwłaszcza brzegi. Międzyblaszki maksymalnie trzeciego rzędu.
 Trzon
Wysokość 2,5–5 cm, grubość 0,5–1 mm, równy z wyjątkiem rozszerzenia u podstawy i na wierzchołku, kruchy, rurkowaty, pusty. Powierzchnia naga do delikatnie podłużnie prążkowanej (pod lupą), półprzeźroczysto-biała z kłaczkowatymi resztkami osłony częściowej i błoniastym, małym pierścieniem z frędzlami, znajdującym się na środku trzonu, lub wysoko, w jego górnej części.
 Miąższ
Błoniasty, wodnistoszary, rozpływający się z wiekiem. Zapach i smak łagodny.
 Cechy mikroskopowe
Zarodniki 6–8,5 × 5,5–7 × 4,5–5,5 µm, kuliste, prawie kuliste, lub słabo pięciokątne w widoku z przodu, eliptyczne z profilu, gładkie, w środku z porą rostkową, ciemnobrązowe. Wysyp zarodników czarny.
 Gatunki podobne
Coprinopsis ephemeroides to mały gatunek rozwijający się na łajnie. Charakteryzuje się białawym, prążkowanym kapeluszem pokrytym kremowymi, a na środku żółtymi grudkami. Obecność pierścienia i kremowo-żółtego środka kapelusza to ważne cechy makroskopowe, które pomagają odróżnić go od bardzo podobnego tzw. czernidłaka sercowatozarodnikowego (Coprinopsis cordisporus). Gatunki te często występują razem. C cordisporus nie ma pierścienia, a grudki na jego kapeluszu są zwykle brązowe do cynamonowo-brązowych. Podobny jest też czernidłak gnojolubny (Coprinus patouillardii), ale jest większy, rozwija się raczej na resztkach roślinnych, odróżnia się także cechami mikroskopowymi.

Występowanie i siedlisko
Podano stanowiska Coprinopsis ephemeroides w Ameryce Północnej, Środkowej i Południowej, w Europie, Azji i na niektórych wyspach Oceanu Indyjskiego. Najwięcej stanowisk podano w Europie. W 2003 r. W. Wojewoda przytoczył 5 stanowisk, w tym 3 dawne.

Naziemny grzyb saprotroficzny i koprofilny. W Polsce notowany w lasach liściastych. Rozwija się na odchodach krów, koni i innych zwierząt roślinożernych. Owocniki tworzy przez cały rok podczas wilgotnej pogody.

Яки́ш-Кишкара́ (, ) — исчезнувшее село в Красноперекопском районе Республики Крым, располагавшееся на северо-востоке района, на западном берегу Айгульского озера, примерно в 4 километрах к северу от современного села Красноармейское.

Динамика численности населения
 1805 год — 132 чел.
 1892 год — 27 чел.
 1900 год — 28 чел.
 1915 год — 13/19 чел.
 1926 год — 98 чел.

История
Первое документальное упоминание села встречается в Камеральном Описании Крыма… 1784 года, судя по которому, в последний период Крымского ханства Кышукара входил в Кырп Баул кадылык Перекопского каймаканства. После присоединения Крыма к России (8) 19 апреля 1783 года, (8) 19 февраля 1784 года, именным указом Екатерины II сенату, на территории бывшего Крымского Ханства была образована Таврическая область и деревня была приписана к Перекопскому уезду. После Павловских реформ, с 1796 по 1802 год, входила в Перекопский уезд Новороссийской губернии. По новому административному делению, после создания 8 (20) октября 1802 года Таврической губернии, Кишкар был включён в состав Бустерчинской волости Перекопского уезда.

По Ведомости о всех селениях, в Перекопском уезде состоящихх с показанием в которой волости сколько числом дворов и душ… от 21 октября 1805 года в деревне Кишкар числилось 24 двора, 125 крымских татар и 7 ясыров. На военно-топографической карте генерал-майора Мухина 1817 года деревня Кишкари обозначена с 30 дворами. После реформы волостного деления 1829 года Яким Кишкору, согласно «Ведомости о казённых волостях Таврической губернии 1829 года», передали в состав Ишуньской волости (переименованной из Бустерчинской). На карте 1836 года в деревне Кыш-Кара (Яниш Кышкара) 33 двора, как и на карте 1842 года.

В 1860-х годах, после земской реформы Александра II, деревню приписали к Ишуньской волости, но встречается только в «Памятной книжке Таврической губернии за 1867 год», согласно которой деревня Якиш Кишкара была покинута жителями в 1860—1864 годах, в результате эмиграции крымских татар, особенно массовой после Крымской войны 1853—1856 годов, в Турцию и оставалась в развалинах.

После земской реформы 1890 года Якиш-Кишкару отнесли к Воинской волости. Согласно «…Памятной книжке Таврической губернии на 1892 год», в деревне Якиш-Кишкара, составлявшей Якиш-Кишкаринское сельское общество, было 27 жителей в 5 домохозяйствах. По «…Памятной книжке Таврической губернии на 1900 год» в деревне Якиш-Кишкара числилось 28 жителей в 5 дворах. По Статистическому справочнику Таврической губернии. Ч.II-я. Статистический очерк, выпуск пятый Перекопский уезд, 1915 год, на хуторе Якиш-Кишкара (барона Гинзбурга, арендованной Шевченко) Воинской волости Перекопского уезда числилось 2 двора с русским населением в количестве 13 человек приписных жителей и 19 «посторонних».

После установления в Крыму Советской власти, по постановлению Крымревкома от 8 января 1921 года № 206 «Об изменении административных границ» была упразднена волостная система, Перекопский уезд переименовали в Джанкойский, в котором был образован Ишуньский район, в состав которого включили село, а в 1922 году уезды получили название округов. 11 октября 1923 года, согласно постановлению ВЦИК, в административное деление Крымской АССР были внесены изменения, в результате которых округа были отменены, Ишуньский район упразднён и село вошло в состав Джанкойского района. Согласно Списку населённых пунктов Крымской АССР по Всесоюзной переписи 17 декабря 1926 года, в селе Якиш-Кашкара, центре упразднённого к 1940 году Якиш-Кашкарского сельсовета Джанкойского района, числилось 19 дворов, из них 17 крестьянских, население составляло 98 человек, из них 89 украинцев и 9 русских. Постановлением ВЦИК от 30 октября 1930 года был восстановлен Ишуньский район и село, вместе с сельсоветом, включили в его состав. Постановлением Центрального исполнительного комитета Крымской АССР от 26 января 1938 года Ишуньский район был ликвидирован и создан Красноперекопский район с центром в поселке Армянск (по другим данным 22 февраля 1937 года). В последний раз село встречается Крым на двухкилометровке РККА 1942 года.

There has never been a better time to go solar! Solar Photovoltaic panels get energy from sun and change it into electricity that can power any electric appliance or lighting in a home. Solar panels can provide free energy for decades.
Call Us at (510) 540-4860 to chat with an expert about how solar panels can work for you.
I had Advanced Home Energy install a solar electric system on my home. I had several bids, including a couple of the big guys who were pushing me to lease. Advanced home energy took the time to educate me on the benefit of financing my system and was very honest about recommending a smaller system to maximize my payback. Their installation team was simply awesome…. Finally, I am happy to report that my system is producing even more than we had anticipated and my bills are almost at zero.
Over the past five years, the cost of solar panels has fallen dramatically. Many Federal and State rebate programs are making solar installation more affordable than ever. In addition to looking at your home's solar potential and installing panels, Advanced Home Energy will help you to navigate incentive programs and advise you on options to finance your purchase.
Solar power becomes even more effective when you put energy efficiency measures in first. We are certified building science specialists who test and evaluate homes based on home performance principals.

Robin <The Entertainer>
Three potential NPC characters that would commemorate the late actor and comedian Robin Williams have appeared in the code of "World of Warcraft's" latest expansion, 'Warlords of Draenor'. A total of three characters have been data-mined from the expansion's beta build but they have yet to appear in-game. They are a Djinn (a blue spirit-like creature) for his role in Disney's "Aladdin", a human female for his role in "Miss Doubtfire" and a human male which some believe to be for his role as Mork in the 1970's television series "Mork and Mindy", or it could be something more clear-cut as the character could be just Robin himself. It is still unclear where these NPC's will finally be or what role they will play in the game itself.
O'Donnell vs Bungie
The composer Martin O'Donnell has been in a prolonged legal battle with the "HALO" and "Destiny" developer Bungie since his dismissal from the company in April. O'Donnell was awarded almost $100,000 in damages and unpaid benefits and wages for his claim of being fired "without cause". Now, Bungie has been ordered to restore his stock in the company as well. O'Donnell, before his dismissal, was working with the likes of Sir Paul McCartney on the soundtrack of the upcoming game "Destiny".
No Games for Wii U, Despite Boost
Publisher and developer Ubisoft says that it's game "Watch_Dogs" will be the last mature title to be released on the Wii U console. Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot said to Game Informer;
"What we see is that Nintendo customers don't buy Assassin's Creed. Last year, we sold in very small numbers."
"What we see is that they are very interested in Just Dance, very interested by other kinds of games,"
"So what we are trying to do is to focus more on the types of games they are interested in."
From 2013/2014, the Wii U only made up 3% of the company's total sales, so they say they will be shifting its focus on the games it publishes for the platform. This comes after Warner Brothers Interactive cancelled development for the "Batman: Arkham Origins" DLC and with the news that the upcoming SEGA game "Alien: Isolation" and the Activision published "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare" will not being coming on the Wii U console. This includes comments made at the start of the year by an EA source saying that "Nintendo was dead to us". This has somewhat tainted the news that the console has had another increase in sales in Japan after the release of the cross-over title "Hyrule Warriors", which is due to be released in western markets on September 16th in Europe and September 26th in the US.
Oculus Doesn't Want Others to Damage VR Market
Nate Mitchell and Palmer Luckey of Oculus VR said to Gamasutra that they don't want other VR devices to damage the virtual reality headset market because they are rushed out to be the first one released the public, or because they are badly implemented. After the popularity of the Oculus Rift headset, Sony has come forward with their own device called Project Morpheus, while Samsung could be developing their own device as well after trademarking the name "Gear VR". Google also came forward with Google Cardboard, which is a set of blueprints and instructions on how you can make your Android phone into a VR headset through a cardboard shell and common craft supplies. Mitchell said;
"…it's very easy to break the illusion, right? It's like this house of cards where, when everything is perfectly in its place, the illusion is totally there. A big part of it is our hardware, a big part is our software, and a massive part of it is the content. The content needs to be carefully designed for VR to really create presence. It's not something where it's like, it has to be hyper realistic. It just has to be designed with all this stuff in mind."
He continued in saying;
"So when content is poorly designed, it's very easy to break the illusion and the spell. You pull one card out, and the whole thing collapses. And you think, this doesn't feel that cool anymore."
When asked about Sony's Project Morpheus headset, he said;
"We really can't control the hardware devices, which is one of the things that we're most worried about. If people ask us, 'What do you think of Morpheus?,' on the one hand it's amazing to see Sony come into the market, because it means more funding for developers…"
"But if the hardware isn't good enough, and it gives a bad experience and can't deliver presence – and actually one of the limited factors for them may end up being the PS4, for example – that's a major problem. That's kinda beyond our control, and that's really frustrating."

Fine-tuning: NCSU/NSF group learns how to control phase formation of titanium dioxide at room temperature
A new technique allows researchers to control the phase of the titanium dioxide by modifying the structure of the titanium trioxide and sapphire substrate. Credit: Jay Narayan, NCSU; Appl. Phys. Lett.
We have written several times in the past about the work of the NSF Center for Advanced Materials and Smart Structures at North Carolina State University and its intriguing work on oxide electronics. Recently, researchers at CAMSS, led by Jagdish (Jay) Narayan announced that they have devised a way to use titanium trioxide as a template for controlling the crystalline structure of titanium dioxide at room temperature. Their hope is that the new technique will make TiO2 more efficient in a range of electronic applications.
Controlling whether the TiO2 is in the anatase or rutile structure has great importance, depending on how it is to be used. The atomic structure of each phase determines the material's optical, chemical and electronic characteristics. Rutile TiO2 is particularly important for electronic applications, and preventing the formation of the anatase phase would be a big boon to improving electronics efficiencies.
In an NCSU news release, Narayan notes that achieving the desired phase has bedeviled engineers. He says, "Traditionally, it has been a challenge to stabilize titanium dioxide in the desired phase. The material tends to transform into the anatase phase below 500°C, and transform into the rutile phase at temperatures above 500°C. … We have now developed a technique that precisely controls the phase, or crystalline structure, of titanium dioxide at room temperature—and stabilizes that phase, so it won't change when the temperature fluctuates. This process, called phase tuning, allows us to fine-tune the structure of the titanium dioxide, so that it has the optimal structure for a desired application."
In essence, the group leveraged knowledge of domain matching epitaxy to use a transient layer of Ti2O3 (on a sapphire substrate) to create a template for forming a rutile monolayer of TiO2. Actually, several monolayers of TiO2 are grown on the sapphire via pulsed laser deposition until a "critical thickness" is reached and the TiO2/Ti2O3/sapphire interfaces are formed. According to the NCSU release, the group attributes the formation of the Ti2O3 transient layer to the symmetry mismatch between the tetragonal structure of TiO2 and hexagonal structure of the sapphire.
In a paper on their work published in Applied Physics Letters ("Domain epitaxy in TiO2/α-Al2O3 thin film heterostructures") the researchers note that "the matching of lattice parameters produces strain in the film and to some extent in the substrate. The pseudomorphic growth of the film continues until a "critical thickness" is reached where the strain energy becomes large enough to trigger the nucleation of misfit dislocations. These dislocations nucleate at the film surface and glide to the interface to relieve the misfit strains.
NCSU says these findings may be extremely useful in the development of photovoltaic cells, hydrogen production and optical communication technologies, and apparently the researchers have also demonstrated how this technique can be used with silicon computer chip substrates, which can be integrated into electronics such as smart sensors.
Besides Narayan, the paper (doi:10.1063/1.4729937) was coauthored by M.R. Bayati and R. Molaei, PhD students at NC State; R. Narayan, a professor in the joint biomedical engineering department of NC State and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; H. Zhou, a postdoctoral researcher at NC State; and S.J. Pennycook of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The research was funded by the National Science Foundation.

Put the confectioners' sugar, flour and cornstarch into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade and give them a quick blitz (this saves you the sifting step). Add the seeds scraped from the vanilla bean and the butter. Process again until the soft mixture coheres and begins to form a ball, loosely clumping around the blade. Turn this out onto a jelly roll pan and press to form an even (as you can make it) layer, using fingers or the back of a spoon, or both. Can I just take this opportunity to ask what size, precisely, is a jelly roll pan? I googled it and found that a jelly roll pan is basically just a cookie sheet with sides. So, tell me Nigella, what size jelly roll pan should I use? Because...this dough does NOT fill my jelly roll pan. Hmmmm. No biggy, though...really. It's a pretty firm, press-in type dough, so I just sort of pressed and stopped about where I thought it looked right. Using the tip of a sharp knife (actually, I used a butter knife), cut the shortbread into fingers. Nigella makes 3 x 11 rows to equal 33...I made 3 x 5 rows to equal 15. Actually, I'll make them even smaller next time...because while delicious, they are rich and these were big fingers! Use the tines of a fork to make little holes in each marked-out biscuit; about 3 times diagonally. Bake for about 20-25 minutes, it will still be pale, but not doughy, and a tad golden around the edges. Remove pan from oven and let cool for 10 minutes or so, before removing, with a palette knife and your fingers, to a wire rack. Sprinkle with sugar and let cool completely before storing in a tightly lidded tin. These are simple and gorgeous...just look at the flecks of vanilla seeds! I bet they'd be superb if you dipped the end in a little chocolate, as well...but I seriously enjoy my shortbread as is. Totally worth the little pinch in the flesh of my waist...at least it seems that way while I'm eating one. This is my entry for the POTLUCK this week over at I Heart Cooking Clubs...won't you cook or bake up something by Nigella and join us?
*Update 12/26/10: I am sharing this with the 12 Day of Bloggie-mas.
it is the season of shortbreads...and this one looks like up there with the best!
Holy Vanilla! This looks divine! And who doesn't love shortbread? This recipe is a keeper!
oh wow great shortbread even I am baking more, blogging does that to you!! oh and great idea for the vanilla bean!
I want to squeeze this one onto my tray this year, how totally yummy.
Oh man...did you say vanilla bean seeds? and those flecks, at first I thought they were dirty specks on my 'puter screen...LOL.
FYI..my jelly roll pan is a bit wider than a cookie sheet, but the same length. oh wait...but i have another cookie sheet and it's about the same but with sides. So maybe it depends on what you call (or use as) a jelly pan?
Hell, I dunno...just give me another glass of wine and ask me again later.
Or you know what else you can do with vanilla...I just made kahlua! I'll post it tomorrow.
I don't know what jellyroll pan is either.....your shortbread looks amazing!
bom dia e boa semana..
that is a really pretty shortbread! Happy Holidays!
True shortbreads... butter, sugar flour no eggs. I bet those were fantastic.
I so love shortbread--this one looks yummy--such great pictures too. The potluck needed some dessert!
Ha Ditto on that starter sentence!
I made something like this, well cutouts for Christmas, and it is something my mom made often...and sang "Shortnin shortnin Mommas little baby loves shortnin bread...sneaking in the kitchen, sneaking out the door...mommas little baby loves shortnin bread"!
No wonder I smell vanilla!!! It's you!
I'm not a baker either, so I understand. Your short bread cookies turned out great. I always save the vanilla bean too to put in sugar. Great idea.
I love vanilla. And a vanilla bean is a wonderful thing to behold. Thanks for this wonderful classic recipe.
Beautiful! These look absolutely delicious. I claim not to be a baker too, but getting a Kitchenaid Mixer for Christmas, so..... the writing is on the wall.
I adore shortbread! All that butter...mmmm.
I have two sizes of jelly roll pans, and for a recipe like this I use a smaller one.
Shortbread cookies are just among the very best, I think, and with those wonderful flecks of vanilla, oh my, how very very grand indeed.
I've been on a serious baking kick as well and have definitely paid for it! I've been trying to get into semi-healthy gear before the holidays so that I can splurge a little but we'll see. I do, however, maintain that having one dessert a week will never do anyone any harm.
These shortbread cookies look fantastic! I love that you used fresh vanilla beans. Good stuff.
I have been inspired to take a leap into baking too. Except, I have not started as yet :-) Like you, I can cook much better than I can can bake .
If your shortbreads are any reflection of your baking skills. I would say you are well on your way to being a fabulous baker too.
I love the tip at the end about the vanilla sugar!
Oh boy....cookies and the ever-expanding waistline : ) That's what pull on pants are for, right? These look delicious with the specks of vanilla beans running though them. I've had the same conversation with myself about the jelly roll pan. I have a small cookie sheet that is about 8" across and about 14-15" long. It seems to work good for pumpkin roll, so I figure that it's the real deal, LOL!
Mmmm! I love shortbread and I will have to try this recipe soon! And thanks for the vanilla sugar tip!
Soft and buttery and so scrumptious! Vanilla sugar is absolutely divine!
Mmm... what a heavenly treat! Perfect for me to make tomorrow - we're all snowed in and I'm almost out of regular sugar but have plenty of confectioners sugar and pink sugar sprinkles. Yum!
OMG, I can SEE how flaky that shortbread is. I would dearly love just one with a big, glass of cold milk. Yum.
I'm not a baker - but 'tis the season. I love these - they look gorgeous! Scrumptious! Delicious!
Shortbread is my favorite! I love the sugar on top- so pretty!
They;re so sparkly! I've been wanting to make shortbread this holiday but I haven't narrowed down which kind yet. hmmm?
Yummy! And yes I would love to dip in chocolate!
The vanilla sugar is a fabulous thing! I must remember to do this!
The course sugar looks so pretty on your shortbread! I love making shortbread, so creative and always a special treat!
My oh my. This is everything shortbread should be, and I love the gorgeous vanilla flecks! Your pics are incredible!
Hey, Heather, I wasn't going to make any cookies this year - have a thing with carbs, you know - but I MUST try these!!! I might get lazy about it and use my ground vanilla bean powder. I'll let you know how it works out. Love your pictures, too.

The tenants of 930 North Blvd. have all been successfully relocated into temporary living quarters after having to vacate the building due to potential structural issues. The village of Oak Park issued the evacuation order after it was found that floors on at least two levels of the building slope as much as four inches toward the center of the structure.
Sent Nov. 5, the order stipulated that all existing tenants had to be evacuated from the building by 11:59 p.m., Nov. 10, which caused a frenzy for tenants and 33Realty, the company that manages the building. Eric Weber, the owner of 33Realty, confirmed the building was safely vacated within the timeframe, but it "was no easy exercise."
The cost of evacuation and relocation is being handled by Texas-based Goldman Investments, the company that owns the building, according to Weber, but 33Realty used its own employees and property managers to move tenants.
"We put people in a variety of housing options, some of them in buildings that we manage where we were able to maneuver some tenants around those buildings so we could slip these tenants in," said Weber.
Others were moved into third party rental buildings and hotels. Some tenants are supportive of how the situation is being handled and others not so much, according to Weber.
"It was not easy, and you feel for these people," said Weber of the relocated tenants, some of whom had lived in the building for as long as 15 years.
Weber's company just started overseeing the building on Oct. 15. 33Realty and its two sister companies were contracted by Goldman Investments to handle the building's management, leasing and renovations. Goldman Investments purchased the building in December 2019.
Weber told Wednesday Journal neither Goldman Investments, the tenants of 930 North Blvd. nor 33Realty knew the extent of the building's structural issues as they were not visible to the naked eye. It is not uncommon either for older buildings to have sloping floors either, according to Weber.
"This is an old building and it's got warped floors, but you didn't see even in the units drywall cracking or trim separating from the walls," he said.
While being unattractive, cracked drywall and separated trim are also indicative of more serious structural problems within buildings.
The village of Oak Park conducted a property maintenance inspection of the building in 2019 when the building was purchased by Goldman Investments. However, those inspections only evaluate whether the building is up to maintenance code, according to Tammie Grossman, director of the development customer services department.
"Those property maintenance people are looking for things like workable smoke detectors," she said. "They're not looking for structural issues."
Grossman does not remember the village of Oak Park ever before having to order an evacuation of a building due to structural issues during her tenure.
A report from a structural engineer will determine how severe, or not, structural issues are at 930 North Blvd. But safety measures need to be taken prior to that inspection. Such measures include minor reinforcements as the engineer will have to drill into and remove sections of the building to assess the condition of its internal rebar and concrete support system. Weber estimates it will take around three to four weeks for the engineer to conduct a complete building inspection.
The engineer will also need to inspect the structural beam that is located above the out-of-use indoor pool on the building's first floor. The beam was put in over 10 years ago, according to Grossman. Due to the pool being pitched, ladders cannot stand up in the pool, so 33Realty is in the process of building a platform so the engineer can safely access the beam.
Representatives from the development customer services department have been monitoring 33Realty's progress, popping by "just about every day," according to Weber. Grossman confirmed that 33Realty has been cooperating with the village and working closely with her department.
"We've got to keep them apprised the whole way as it's a pretty sensitive situation. Obviously, the situation that occurred in Miami puts increased exposure on this," said Weber, referencing the tragic collapse of the 12-story condominium that left 98 Miami residents dead this past June.
Both Grossman and Weber told Wednesday Journal that just how much renovation, if any at all, is necessary to make the building safe hinges on the results of the structural engineering report, which will be reviewed by by HR Green, the village of Oak Park's contracted contractor firm.
"We don't know what the report is going to say," said Grossman.
With tenants dispersed and 33Realty trying to manage their living situations for them Weber wishes he had an estimate as to how long it will be until people can return to living in the building.
"I want an answer, but I don't have one," he said. "And we're still a couple weeks away from even getting that report that determines what we do next."

Resident Evil 7's Focus on Family Made Its Horror Personal
By Audric Figueroa October 5, 2019
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard marked a radical departure from the series' past titles, innovating the gameplay with a first person perspective and telling a story that evokes movies such as The Evil Dead and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Some series diehards have made unflattering comparisons to the psychological horror game P.T. or accused Capcom of plagiarizing the cancelled Silent Hill series. Feeling as though the series DNA had been tampered with, they accused the developers of wading into psychological horror without precedent.
To be fair, the detractors were onto something when they said Resident Evil 7 isn't Resident Evil enough. Something is fundamentally different. Just look at Resident Evil 7's personal, character driven story compared to classic Resident Evil's impersonal, plot-driven stories. Ethan, our mundane everyman protagonist, has different motivations than most Resident Evil heroes who are law enforcement agents trying to uphold order and save the world from evil corporations.
Resident Evil 7's intro cutscene perfectly illustrates this radical shift in tone. The classic exposition-heavy narration explicitly detailing the setting and context for the plot is gone. There's no overt horror atmosphere, and not a single mention of the Umbrella Corporation. Instead, the time is devoted to the story's core relationship: the marriage of Ethan and Mia Winters.
What makes Resident Evil 7's horror so effective is its intimate portrayal of the breakdown of a family unit. Through perverting and distorting the concept of family, the game moves the focus from transient fears of spooky monsters to personal anxieties like abuse, parental neglect, and problem children.
The game immediately sets up the emotional stakes through a video message from Mia:
"Hey baby! I just wanted to send a quick 'Hello" and "I love you," Oh, good news! I'm gonna be coming home soon. Yay! I cannot wait to be done with this babysitting job, and come home to my loving husband. I miss you. I gotta get back to work. I love you Ethan. I miss you so much. I'm sending *tons* of kisses. Bye baby!"
You don't know who Ethan is, but you know his defining relationship. The scene is cast in warm lighting, suggesting a tone of optimism. In a couple dozen words, Mia endears herself to the player with her affection, devotion, and playfulness. This is the ideal relationship. And then it's taken away from you.
In Mia's second message, she admits that she lied to you about her babysitting job. She's in some kind of distress. Her arms have blood and muck on them, and she's shrouded in darkness. She tells you to stay away. The video sets up a mystery that will continue through the rest of the game: What happened to Mia? What did she do? And can we trust her?
More than creating dramatic tension for the conflict to come, the opening contrasts the ideal and reality of family. Sometimes the people we love fall short of our expectations. We also see this contrast in our protagonist, Ethan. When Ethan learns that Mia is alive he drops everything to go and save her. She's been missing for three years and he has to know what happened.
Ethan is the perfect protagonist for this story, a family man whose rescue mission relies on the authority of a seven-word email allegedly written by Mia: "Dulvey, Louisiana. Baker Farm. Come get me." We expect that after a perilous journey, Ethan will defeat the bad guys like a knight in shining armor, and save his love-struck beloved. What happens instead is that Ethan finds Mia within 10 minutes of arriving in a creepy haunted house. Then she tries to stab him to death. Welcome to Resident Evil 7.
The intro climaxes with a game of cat and mouse between an injured Ethan and a supernaturally empowered Mia. The script has been flipped, and now the simple rescue mission (and the Winters' marriage) is in serious doubt. This literal and metaphorical domestic violence is the heart of Resident Evil 7's encounter philosophy. The monsters are personal. The first enemy you fight and kill is your wife.
When Ethan buries an ax into Mia's shoulder, the tone of the scene shifts from terror to tragedy. Her ghoulish face fades, and we see her now too human face express shock and pain before the lights in her eyes go out. You reach for each other, but she falls to the ground. The score shifts to a haunting, subtle piano to emphasize the horror of your actions. What have you done? When Mia returns a few minutes later brandishing a chainsaw, it cements if fact that the classic Resident Evil rules have been thrown out the window.
Resident Evil 7 raises the stakes by giving the main enemies a personal relationship to you. They refer to you by your name and you know theirs. You are no longer some moral authority shooting mindless zombies you don't know.
The game never lets you forget that there might be people trapped inside the body of the possessed psychopaths out to get you. Victory becomes uncomfortable, and you're forced to confront the ambiguity of your actions. The second time you defeat Mia, she growls an otherworldly "I love you" before falling to the ground. Later, you can find a videotape where Mia apologizes for trying to kill you: "I just want you to know that wasn't me. I don't know what happened. "
You finally get answers through a phone call with Zoe Baker, the daughter of the family least afflicted by the mind-controlling fungus that's infected Mia.
"My family and I… our bodies are contaminated. I can't leave the property unless I get it out. And the same goes for Mia… We need the serum. It should clear whatever this stuff is out of the body. As long as you're not too far gone."
Zoe tasks you with creating a serum to save her and Mia, allowing the three of you to escape the Baker estate. You should feel empowered by finally having a solution to your predicament, but you can't help but feel unnerved by your new mission.
The game distorts the classic Resident Evil trope of making a cure by replacing the clinical lab where you typically synthesize the serum with a fetch quest to find dead fetuses. You're instructed to find a "D-Series" head and arm, implied to be part of failed biological experiments that died during pregnancy. The house where each component of the cure resides is filled with visual motifs showing the perversion of birth. The bridge to the residence is strung up with dirty, broken baby dolls and you can find more mutilated dolls in a cupboard on the second floor.
It's fitting that your boss encounter for this section is Marguerite Baker, a mother whose obsession with children reflects a corrupted maternal instinct. Her desire to destroy Ethan is explained as an overprotective mother taken to her logical extreme.
Marguerite herself is a twisted nightmare version of a mother, part witch and part insect queen. She attacks you by vomiting bugs that quickly swarm you, and as she's injured, her abdomen becomes a hive that houses more bugs. Marguerite loves her surrogate children, mindless drones that conform to the social hierarchy, but shuns her own biological daughter for rebelling by trying to remain human.
Inevitably, Zoe's desire for freedom and independence is tied to the destruction of her own family. She sics Ethan on her parents just to survive. She was always the black sheep, an outsider even before everything went to hell. In the wake of her family's contamination, all she can do is watch them further degrade and wait for you to put them down. She observes your progress and calls each time you defeat one her family members.
After you deal with her father, Jack, she asks you "Did my daddy give you a hard time?" When Ethan asks her if that's really her dad, she just replies "He used to be." It's just one of many reminders of the people the Bakers used to be, and maybe still are deep inside. You'll find bobbleheads and helmets hinting at Jack's love of football, pictures of his military service, and a journal from before his descent to madness. He seems responsible, resourceful, altruistic, and even dorky. Compare that to a note he wrote more recently: "Move that piece-of-shit hippy we caught from the hall to the processing area."
It all serves to make you sympathize with the people trying to kill you. Marguerite herself shouts at Mia for conspiring with Zoe to bring Ethan to the Baker estate. "What have I done to deserve this except open my home and feed you?" Slowly, we begin to realize that there's more to this story than a hillbilly murder family that is holding Mia captive.
When Mia's lie is finally revealed, it recontextualizes who the victims are in this story. We learn that Mia is an operative for a pharmaceutical corporation focused on developing a bioweapon that takes the form of the malevolent child Eveline, who uses a special mold to infect a host's brain and control them psychologically. Mia's failure to control and contain Eveline incited the events of Resident Evil 7, including the warping of the Baker family's minds.
Though Mia is initially perceived as a victim, she was culpable for the disaster. While the Bakers function as our antagonists, their only conscious decision was to take in Mia and Eveline, two strangers stranded after a hurricane. The tragedy of our story is that there is no ideal way to navigate this hierarchy of victimhood without the destruction of at least one family and a child.
After finally saving Zoe and Mia from the last of the Bakers, you're forced to choose which person to cure with your only remaining serum. Morally and ethically, it's an impossible choice. Zoe is the sole reason for your success thus far, providing you with information and direction. She's done nothing wrong. Mia is a liar who helped cause the downfall of the Bakers. But she's your wife. In choosing to cure Mia, you damn the last of Baker family. By choosing Zoe, you forsake your own.
With the Baker family dead or MIA, the story turns its attention to Eveline, the root of all this corruption. It's easy to interpret Eveline as just a lazy use of the "spooky little girl" trope. After all, she's a petulant, sociopathic child trying to force everyone to do what she tells them to under threat of violence. Eveline oozes black mold, and when she gets angry, the force of her emotions renders trees skeletal, fish rotten and bloated, and conjures mold monsters. Visually, her evil corrupts and destroys anything she touches.
And yet, Eveline is also a victim in this story. She's a neglected child viewed not as a dependent but a weapon, a tool to be used by faceless organizations to convert enemy combatants into willing servants . Eveline gives the evil corporation's experiments a human face, a tangible example of science not bound by ethics or empathy. In a secret document you find just before the end of the game, you learn that she uses family as the theme of her mind control, ostensibly because convincing strangers to do your bidding is most effective when they think you're their kid or sister. One scientist posits that someone sentimental might interpret her actions as a lonely kid trying to make up for a lifetime spent in an impersonal lab.
No longer content to be an experiment in a sterile and unfeeling lab, Eveline acts out of anger. She escapes and attempts to create her own family to make up for emotional neglect. After indoctrinating the Bakers, she wasn't content with just parents and two siblings. She ordered her new family to kidnap more victims for adoption, mostly tourists, drifters, and the homeless. Even though Evie and the Bakers turned countless victims into territorial mold monsters, they still kept a list of each of their names. Why? Because the Molded aren't faceless pawns. Each of the game's monsters is an individual conscripted into Evie's family.
It's hard not to feel pity for Evie. She lacks the framework to understand healthy relationships. She's simply a latchkey kid given the power to enact every selfish, wounded desire. When Ethan crafts a necrotoxin capable of defeating Eveline, the game does not allow you an immediate moment of triumph. After stabbing Eveline with the syringe, black tears stream down her face, and she simply asks "Why does everyone hate me?" You're left to stare at her frail body as she quietly sobs before turning into a completely unrecognizable monster in its death throes. "Goodbye, Eveline," is all Ethan can manage.
Resident Evil 7's hyperfixation on family as a theme and source of anxiety makes it more versatile than a purely scary game. While it might not be the scariest game ever made, its strength lies in its ability to discomfit and upset the player in ways that are all too familiar. It's a grounded story about literal and metaphorical broken homes.
This empathy acts as a catalyst for our anguish, and increases our investment as players. When Jack Baker reappears to Ethan to apologize on behalf of his family, you can't help but feel moved. In front of you is a man you thought was an abusive, backwoods cannibal. Now he's been recharacterized as a quiet, generous man who doesn't want you to blame his family for what's happened, or even judge Evie too harshly. It's just a fucked up situation.
