Verizon's New Prepaid Plans & Loyalty Discounts Explained
Stetson Doggett
Jump to Cell Phone Plans
What's changed with Verizon's new prepaid plans and how the new loyalty discount can save you an additional $10 per month
On June 24th, 2020, Verizon updated their prepaid plans. They got rid of the multi-line discounts, added a new customer loyalty discount for those who subscribe to the plans for 4 to 10 months or longer, decreased the cost of their unlimited plan, and updated the features available for the plans.
In this article I'll explain what's different about Verizon's new prepaid plans, how the customer loyalty discount works, and if the new plans are worth switching to.
Verizon's Old Prepaid Plans (5/21/2019 - 6/23/2020)
Verizon's previously available prepaid plans
Previously, Verizon offered four prepaid plans starting as low as $30 per month. The options were (prices listed including $5 auto-pay discount):
$30 for 500MB
$35 for 3GB
$65 for unlimited data
However, soon after these plans launched, Verizon launched a double-data promotion. Anyone who signed up for the plans would immediately get 2x the original data amount. This double data promotion lasted for over a year. It was first made available on May 21st, 2019, and it lasted through June 23rd, 2020, right before the new prepaid plans were launched.
Since the double-data promotion was available for so long, and so easy to take advantage of, Verizon's old prepaid plans were effectively the following:
$45 for 16GB
Again, these prices include Verizon's $5 auto-pay discount. The lower cost $30, $35, and $45 plans were honestly a great value. Signing up with Verizon prepaid meant you could go to a physical Verizon store for customer service and support, and for many people the data options were plenty for their needs.
In fact, with the double-data promotion, Verizon's own prepaid plans were some of the best value plans available on their network. (That was, until Visible took over as the best value plan with their $25 unlimited plan thanks to their Party Pay group discount).
The icing on the cake with Verizon's old prepaid plans was their multi-line discount. Four lines of unlimited data came out to just $50 per line, and families with different data needs could still mix-and-match the plans for up to $25 off for lines 2 through 10.
Verizon's New Prepaid Plans (Launched 6/24/2020)
Verizon's new prepaid plans
With Verizon's new prepaid plans, they aimed to keep the data amounts and prices roughly the same. The new plans are the following (prices listed with $5 auto-pay discount applied):
$30 for unlimited talk and text
As you can tell, a few things are different here. The $30 plan got its data completely removed, and the $35 and $45 plans had their data decreased by 1GB. I think Verizon decreased the data amounts by 1GB across the board to make sure customers who took advantage of the double-data promotion felt they were, in fact, getting a promotion and a little extra data. Still, it's nice to know the data increases to 5GB and 15GB are now permanent.
The other big change with Verizon's new prepaid plans is their customer loyalty discount. Customers who stay signed up for 4 months receive $5 off their bill, and customers who stay signed up for 10 months receive $10 off their bill. This loyalty discount is in addition to the $5 off auto-pay discount.
Factoring in all discounts and promotions, on the 10th month of service Veriozn's new plans are available for the following prices:
$30 for unlimited talk and text (doesn't qualify for loyalty discount)
The unlimited data plan also now has a $10 hotspot add-on available. $5 gets you 10GB of high-speed hotspot data before unlimited hotspot data at 600Kbps. The $35 and $45 prepaid plans continue to support the hotspot feature with their included data amounts.
How do the New Plans Compare to the Old Plans?
The big question here is this: are the new Verizon Prepaid plans actually better than the previous ones?
To answer this, let's take a deeper look at exactly what the previous plan offered and what the new plans include.
Verizon's $30 Prepaid Plan
Verizon's $30 prepaid plan comparison
Let's be real, Verizon's $30 prepaid plan got hit pretty hard. It went from a great deal to an awful deal. Not only does the plan no longer include 1GB of data, but it is also not eligible for the customer loyalty discount.
Previously the plan included unlimited talk and text, 1GB of LTE data, unlimited 2G data, hotspot support, and the option for an international calling add-on to make and receive calls to Canada and Mexico.
The new $30 prepaid now has no data, no unlimited 2G data, and no hotspot support. The international calling add-on is still available, and, what's most interesting, is this plan is eligible for the $5 Canada and Mexico data roaming pass. The data pass gives you 500MB of high-speed data while in Canada or Mexico.
Considering Verizon's $35 5GB plan drops down to $25 per month after the loyalty discount, I don't think this new $30 plan is worth it at all. If you need unlimited talk and text on the Verizon network, US Mobile's $10 plan is a much better option.
Verizon's $35 prepaid plan got some minor changes. Previously it included 6GB of LTE data with the double-data promotion. Now it includes 5GB. It continues to support unlimited 2G data, the mobile hotspot, and offer an add-on for international calling to Canada and Mexico.
What's new is the $35 plan now offers a $5 per day international data pass to Canada and Mexico, and the multi-line discount has been replaced with the customer loyalty discount.
Similar to the $35 plan, Verizon's $45 prepaid plan only got some minor updates. It decreased by 1GB to 15GB of LTE data, but it continues to support unlimited 2G data, and the mobile hotspot. What's interesting is this plan now includes the Canada and Mexico international calling add-on for free. The Canada and Mexico data roaming pass is also now available for $5 per day. Again, the multi-line discount here was replaced by the loyalty discount.
Verizon's $65 Prepaid Unlimited Plan (Now $60!)
Verizon's unlimited prepaid plan comparison
Verizon's unlimited prepaid plan probably saw the most updates out of all of the plans. And most of these updates are welcome improvements to the plan!
Previously Verizon's prepaid unlimited plan started at $65 per month with auto-pay. The new plan now starts at $60 per month with auto-pay!
Another new change is the addition of a hotspot data add-on. Previously, the prepaid unlimited plan didn't support the mobile hotspot. This was disappointing to a lot of prepaid subscribers. Now, the unlimited prepaid plan has a $5 hotspot add-on that includes 10GB of high-speed hotspot data before unlimited hotspot data at 600Kbps. This is a welcome change to the plan I'm sure a lot of people are happy about!
Finally, the unlimited prepaid plan now includes both the Canada and Mexico international calling add-on and the Canada and Mexico international data roaming add-on for free.
Considering this plan drops in price down to $50 per month with the loyalty discount, I think it is an excellent option for anyone interested in an unlimited data plan on the Verizon network.
How Does the Customer Loyalty Discount Work, and Is It Better Than The Multi-Line Discount?
Verizon's new prepaid discount works by rewarding customers who continue to have active service with Verizon for consecutive months. After 3 months of active service customers will receive a $5 discount applied to subsequent bills, and after 9 months of active service customers will receive an additional $5 discount applied to all subsequent bills.
If you were to sign up as a new customer today, here's how the discounts would pan out:
1st month: full price
2nd month: $5 off via auto-pay discount
4th month: $10 off via auto-pay and loyalty discount
10th month: $15 off via auto-pay and two loyalty discounts
Verizon's new loyalty discount saves customers up to $10 per month after 9 months of service
What is great about the loyalty discount is that existing Verizon customers can switch to one of the new prepaid plans, and they will immediately receive credit for the loyalty discount based on how long they've been a customer. So if you've been a Verizon customer for 6 months, you'll immediately get $5 off your bill via the first loyalty discount.
Now, are these loyalty discounts better than the previous multi-line discounts Verizon was offering?
The answer is: it depends.
I dug up Verizon's old prepaid website via the Wayback Machine to see exactly how the discounts compared. For a family with four lines on the unlimited plan, the discounts are exactly the same: $50 per person per month.
However, if you were a family where each person had different data needs, you may actually be getting a better deal. While Verizon only offered a $5 auto-pay discount to the first line added to the family plan, any 8GB, 16GB, or unlimited plans added to the family were eligible for $15, $20, or a $25 off respectively. Considering the new loyalty discount only offers up to $15 off per month (and after a period of 10 months at that!), the multi-line discounts were actually a better deal for the 16GB and unlimited data plans.
Verizon's old multi-line discount for prepaid plans offered up to $25 off for lines 2-10, making it a better deal in some cases than the new loyalty discount
Plus, let's not forget you got the multi-line discounts immediately. Now you have to wait 10 months for your plans to drop in price.
I think the multi-line discounts were an overall better value on Verizon prepaid. While it's nice the new loyalty discounts are available to people with only a single line on the account, the truth is these discounts are really best for existing Verizon customers.
Would you wait 10 months for a discount, when there are already plenty of better options available? I don't think so.
Should You Switch to the New Prepaid Plans?
For existing, single-line customers on Verizon Prepaid, I think it's a no-brainer to switch to the new plans. Sure, you'll sacrifice your 1GB of extra data, but you'll immediately get the loyalty discount based on how long you've been an active Verizon customer. The new plans are a great way to reduce your bill by an extra $10 per month.
If you signed up for a previous multi-line plan on Verizon prepaid, I think the decision is more challenging. I suggest you run the numbers to see exactly how much you're paying now and how much you'd be paying under the new system. In most cases, I suspect the previous multi-line discount to actually be the better deal.
And for anyone who's not currently a Verizon Prepaid customer, should you sign up for these? The truth is, I don't think so.
Visible is a carrier that uses Verizon's network for coverage (in fact, Visible is owned by Verizon and acts as their flanker carrier), and Visible's unlimited data plan is just $40 per month. Flat. All taxes and fees included. Plus, you can save up to $15 per month with Visible's Party Pay group discount. So you'd be paying $25 flat for unlimited data on the Verizon network, which is a much better deal than what Verizon Prepaid has to offer.
That said, Verizon's new prepaid plans can be good for anyone who values being able to go to a store for customer service. And they are certainly a great option for existing Verizon customers.

Hey thats a pretty cool idea. Good share.
Cool idea bud but if your stuck for a map... you can find one at a bus station (maybe the gas station also) just hold "E" on the blue rack to take a map and "M" to access/close the map, if you have a compass on your person it will also show your location.
Still a neat thing that'd be in places thou.
Thank you. I know about the map. and that the compass can be found in homes. but the billboard will help the initial orientation on the terrain ..
Maybe a bit more realistic would be the small information/bulletin boards in town? Map can be plastered on that and bus stop. The 'you are here' idea is a cool one!
This is good idea but same time not, or maybe i have played too much dont need map that much anymore allways see some landmark what can use to navigate, allmost every time when spawned somewhere in woods in couple of minutes i know where i'm and then start running to nearest town.

Holistic and lasting sustainability
What is sustainability if not the ability to exist into the future? In this context how sustainable are institutions, organisations, communities and politics and what will the future actually look like?

welfare of 60,000 people in 28 villages throughout Uganda via The Hunger Project.
The key to achieving sustainability is always politics.
Case studies from around the world suggest that sustainability is failing and succeeding simultaneously.
Apocalyptic portrayals of sustainability only galvanise those who are already galvanised. The rest of the population is left scared and paralysed.
We need to dial down existential language and talk more calmly about cost/benefit analysis and the expectation of driving superior economic outcomes through sustainable investing.
Everyone when surveyed says they want to go green. People surveyed also say they want to lose weight. But are these people prepared to take the required actions to hit their targets? Signing a pledge is not enough.
We should ask ourselves what sustainable globalisation looks like. We do not have global solidarity. People are global citizens only in a small way. Governments are accountable primarily domestically. Policy is national not global. Global politics does not come from politicians it comes from global investors and global corporations. We can't vote out the global government because it doesn't exist. Therefore the private sector is at least 75 per cent of the solution.
We need voluntary compliance to achieve sustainability, not coercion.
Let us tackle social issues like racial injustice with objective analysis of data not tabloid exaggeration.
The electric grid that we have is not fit for purpose in the 21st century.
Sustainability is about the ability to adapt to change and respond to future uncertainties.
The US election will make a big difference to the future of America. Whilst I can't be optimistic, I think the pessimism is overdone.

Mumbai, Maharashtra is all set to welcome the popular elephant-headed god, Lord Ganesha, during the 10-day long biggest public festival which gets underway on Thursday.
Around a million gigantic, big and small idols of Lord Ganesha shall adorn homes of commoners, celebrities, industrialists and politicians, housing complexes, private and public companies, besides the huge or gigantic ones at public marquees organised by Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav Mandals all over the state.
Since the past few weeks, specialists and artists have been giving final touches to their Lord Ganesha idols and delivering them in trucks, tempos, cars, motorcycles, bicycles, while some carry them on their heads to their homes, amidst chants of "Ganpati Bappa Morya..."
This year, Ganeshotsav coincides with the Jain holy month of fasting during Paryushan, the ongoing week-long Mt. Mary Church annual fair in Bandra while Muslims will observe Muharram on September 20.
"This year we are cutting corners without affecting the festivities. This is due to the exorbitant petrol-diesel-gas prices and spiralling inflation," Dahibhavkar told IANS.
He said that the pillars of the festival comprising flowers, sweets, lights and decorations have become far more expensive than last year and tossed all budgets haywire.
"Flowers are five times costlier, sweets especially 'modak' are more than double, dry fruits cost even higher, lighting and decorations are also much expensive.
The GSB Seva Mandal, Kings Circle, will unveil its 14.5 feet tall idol adorned with over 68 kg of 22-carat gold and 327 kg silver, besides expensive diamond-studded jewelleries, including many articles donated by devotees, which makes it the richest Ganpati marquee in the world.
Millions of Konkanites working in urban centres like Mumbai, Thane, Pune and other places have left for their villages in the coastal districts, creating massive snarls on the Mumbai-Goa Highway.
Also generating immense interest are the private Ganeshotsav of top celebrity families like Lata Mangeshkar, Sachin Tendulkar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

Community-Extensible Software and Database for Predicting Combustion Kinetics
William H. Green Jr., Chemical Engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Ave., Room 66-270, Cambridge, MA 01239
An important recent development in the combustion chemistry community is the launch of the PriMe project, a collaboration between more than a dozen leading researchers to develop a more efficient and effective community process for upgrading combustion chemistry. This talk will present the latest version of the freely-available PrIMe database and software for building combustion chemistry models, and explain the process for accessing (and contributing to) these community tools and information. The speaker will present a vision for how the PrIMe cyber-infrastructure will significantly improve the process by which the combustion community uses and adds to chemical knowledge, and how it will facilitate the construction of models suitable for making predictions. Several different applications to pyrolysis chemistry and ignition chemistry will be presented as examples.

The Courtyards of Lake Worth is a small pet-friendly condo community located just off of Highway 1 in the center of Lake Worth, Florida. These pretty town-homes are well maintained and offer coveted parking spaces, as well as sharing a community pool. Sometimes called The Courtyards of Lake Worth at College Park, these town-homes sit directly next to a larger community of single-family homes called College Park.
Located just 5 minutes from the I-95, you can be in West Palm Beach in 15 minutes, or down to Delray Beach in just over 20. Closer to home, you can whizz down to downtown Lake Worth in just 5 minutes where you'll find boutique stores, cafes, bars, and restaurants. There are also several street festivals and events held in this vibrant town center throughout the year. Even closer still, is Spillway Park – just outside the community, which is perfect for a quiet spot of fishing. If soaking up the rays is more your thing, you can be at the beach in less than 10 minutes! The community is close to both the Lake Worth Golf Club, and the West Palm Beach Golf Course, and within walking distance to the Intracoastal.
Lake Worth is an excellent school district and has plenty of recreational activities to keep the whole family busy outside of school time. The parks provide sports facilities for the kids, and the town center provides shops and restaurants for the adults. What more could you ask for?
I am interested in learning more about Courtyards Lake Worth homes.

Q: Explaining the fit of Correlation and Covariance in AR and MA models
The primary difference between an AR and MA model is based on the correlation between time series objects at different time points. The correlation between $x(t)$ and $x(t-n)$ for $n > \text{order of MA}$ is always zero. This directly flows from the fact that covariance between $x(t)$ and $x(t-n)$ is zero for MA models (something which we refer from the example taken in the previous section). However, the correlation of $x(t)$ and $x(t-n)$ gradually declines with $n$ becoming larger in the AR model. This difference gets exploited irrespective of having the AR model or MA model.

Source: https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2015/12/complete-tutorial-time-series-modeling/
I just cannot see how to derive the covariance between $x(t)$ and $x(t-n)$ for MA models.
Moreover, I cannot see how the correlation of $x(t)$ and $x(t-n)$ would declines as $n$ increases in the AR model.

A: For simplicity, take an $\text{AR}(1)$ and a $\text{MA}(1)$ model, written below (in order):
$$X_t = \frac{1}{2}X_{t - 1} + \epsilon_t$$
$$W_t = \epsilon_t + 0.5\epsilon_{t - 1}$$
For the $\text{AR}(1)$ process we have the representation $X_t = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^h X_{t -
 h} + \sum_{j = 0}^{h - 1} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^j \epsilon_{t - j}$ (if you are uncomfortable with this, recursively replace $X_{t - j}$ terms in the above definition of the $\text{AR}(1)$ process until you eventually have $\epsilon_{t - n}$ in the expression). From this let's compute $E[X_{t + n}X_t]$ and $E[W_{t + n}W_t]$.
Remember that the only thing that is random in these representations is the process $\{\epsilon_t\}_{t \in \mathbb{Z}}$, and $E[\epsilon_t^2] = 1$, and all are iid. From this we get:
$$E[W_{t + n} W_t] = E[(\epsilon_{t + n} + 0.5 \epsilon_{t + n - 1})(\epsilon_t + 0.5\epsilon_{t - 1}) \\ = E[\epsilon_{t + n}\epsilon_t] + 0.5E[\epsilon_{t + n}\epsilon_{t - 1}] + 0.5E[\epsilon_{t + n - 1}\epsilon_t] + 0.25E[\epsilon_{t + n - 1}\epsilon_{t - 1}] \\
 = 1.25\delta_{0}(n) + 0.5 \left(\delta_{-1}(n) + \delta_{1}(n)\right)$$
($\delta_{j}(n)$ is 1 if $n = j$ and 0 otherwise.) From this you see that for large $n$ the covariance, and thus the correlation, is zero between $W_t$ terms.
Now let's find the covariance function for $X_t$.
$$E[X_{t + n}X_t] = E\left[\left(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n X_{t} + \sum_{j = 0}^{n - 1} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^j \epsilon_{t + n - j}\right)X_t\right] \\ = \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^nE[X_t^2] + \sum_{j = 0}^{n - 1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^j E\left[\epsilon_{t + n - j} X_t\right]$$
If you are willing to believe that $E[X_t^2] = \frac{4}{3}$ and $E\left[\epsilon_{t + n - j} X_t\right] = 0$ (in this situation; basically, the two random variables are independent when $j \neq n$) then the covariance is $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^n \frac{4}{3}$, a quantity that goes to zero with large $n$. (The last two claims can be justified.)
What I described works for more general AR and MA models, but those models require more work; this gives you the gist of what is going on.

How to Read Nancy: The Elements of Comics in Three Easy Panels
On sale date: October 31, 2017
The authors use a single three-panel Nancy strip to explain how the medium of comics works.
Everything that you need to know about reading, making, and understanding comics can be found in a single Nancy strip by Ernie Bushmiller from August 8, 1959. Paul Karasik and Mark Newgarden's groundbreaking work How to Read Nancy ingeniously isolates the separate building blocks of the language of comics through the deconstruction of a single strip. No other book on comics has taken such a simple yet methodical approach to laying bare how the comics medium really works. No other book of any kind has taken a single work by any artist and minutely (and entertainingly) pulled it apart like this. How to Read Nancy is a completely new approach towards deep-reading art. In addition, How to Read Nancy is a thoroughly researched history of how comics are made, from their creation at the drawing board to their ultimate destination at the bookstore. Textbook, art book, monogram, dissection, How to Read Nancy is a game changer in understanding how the "simplest" drawings grab us and never leave. Perfect for students, academics, scholars, and casual fans.
"How to Read Nancy is a comprehensive, scholarly and intensely goofy dissertation on a single daily Nancy strip from 1959." — The New York Times
"How to Read Nancy is a mind-blowing new coffee-table softcover. ... For anyone with an interest in graphic design, pop culture, pop art, the history of humor, and 20th-century illustration, the book is a must." — Boston Globe
"A beautifully designed volume that's as entertaining as it is informative and likely to join Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics in the pantheon of explanatory texts." — Library Journal
"Reading the wonderful history of Ernie Bushmiller and the brilliant analysis of the details of Nancy's creation, detail by detail, based entirely on a reading of three panels of one strip, made me believe this is one of the genius books of comics history and design semantics." — Print
"How to Read Nancy is for anyone curious about the simple yet complicated ways in which visual art speaks to us." — Spectrum Culture

Ex-Aide to Roger Stone Subpoenaed in Mueller Probe
Updated 06.28.18 3:17PM ET / Published 06.28.18 12:29PM ET
Aaron Bernstein/Reuters
A former aide to Roger Stone, an adviser to President Donald Trump, was subpoenaed to appear in front of a grand jury in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation and "hand over documents," The New York Times reports. Andrew Miller reportedly helped Stone "arrange media interviews" and do other tasks during the 2016 presidential campaign. Miller's lawyer said he planned to file a motion Thursday arguing Mueller's appointment "was unconstitutional" as a means of firing back against the subpoena. Stone has been a subject of interest in Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, as he "foreshadowed the released by WikiLeaks of information damaging to the Hillary Clinton campaign," the Times reports.

My recent trip to Oregon would not have been complete without visiting one of my favorite places in the WHOLE entire world...The Oregon Coast! There is just something about the cold waves of the Pacific, the rocky tide pools, and the washed up kelp that makes this place one of my favorite destinations. ***The picture above was taken in Lincoln City right behind The Sandcastle Motel (a place we would stay when I was a kid). Although I never did get a black belt in Karate I think I could give Jackie Chan a run for his money!
We drove along the coast and hit some of my favorite towns including Depot Bay the world's smallest harbor. Tourists around the world flock to Depot Bay to check out their famous Gray Whales. These whales have been visiting this place for generations and can be seen at the town's Whale Watching Center. ***Here I'm pictured with the town's mascot!
Our next stop on our adventure down the coast was to Newport's famous Historic Bay Front. Of course my favorite attraction is the wild California Sea Lions that plop themselves up on docks and bask in the summer sun. I felt pretty lucky to even see two of these marine mammals. The majority have migrated to California to meet with the breeding females. ***I guess we could label this guy as a content bachelor!
Ok...I know it's a little rough on the outside but the Dock of the Bay Marina located in Waldport, Oregon is my number one stop when I visit the coast. This small little "hole in the wall" is situated right on Alsea Bay which offers some of the best crabbing around. Although I do not eat crabs they sure are fun to catch!
My trip to the Oregon Coast was absolutely amazing. Every time I visit this peaceful place I always come back with new experiences and memories that will last a lifetime.

L'Europa dei veleni, ovvero "noi ignari mutanti".
haplos
Salve Luciano e tutti voi frequentatori,
leggevo l'articolo che hai pubblicato qualche tempo fa sulla soia e i danni alla fertilità maschile, e mi sono ricordato di un articolo apparso il 23 Ottobre scorso sul sito internet del quotidiano britannico Telegraph che amplia di molto l'orizzonte e presenta uno scenario ancora più grave e pervasivo. Lo riporto nell'originale inglese.

WHY BOYS ARE TURNING INTO GIRLS
|Gender-bending chemicals are largely exempt from new EU regulations, warns Geoffrey Lean.|
Here's something rather rotten from the State of Denmark. Its government yesterday unveiled official research showing that two-year-old children are at risk from a bewildering array of gender-bending chemicals in such everyday items as waterproof clothes, rubber boots, bed linen, food, nappies, sunscreen lotion and moisturising cream.
The 326-page report, published by the environment protection agency, is the latest piece in an increasingly alarming jigsaw. A picture is emerging of ubiquitous chemical contamination driving down sperm counts and feminising male children all over the developed world. And anti-pollution measures and regulations are falling far short of getting to grips with it.
Sperm counts are falling so fast that young men are less fertile than their fathers and produce only a third as much, proportionately, as hamsters. And gender-bending chemicals are increasingly being blamed for the mystery of the "lost boys": babies who should normally be male who have been born as girls instead.
The Danish government set out to find out how much contamination from gender-bending chemicals a two-year-old child was exposed to every day. It concluded that a child could be "at critical risk" from just a few exposures to high levels of the substances, such as from rubber clogs, and imperilled by the amount it absorbed from sources ranging from food to sunscreens.
The results build on earlier studies showing that British children have higher levels of gender-bending chemicals in their blood than their parents or grandparents. Indeed WWF (formerly the World Wildlife Fund), which commissioned the older research, warned that the chemicals were so widespread that "there is very little, if anything, individuals can do to prevent contamination of themselves and their families." Prominent among them are dioxins, PVC, flame retardants, phthalates (extensively used to soften plastics) and the now largely banned PCBs, one and a half million tons of which were used in countless products from paints to electrical equipment.
Young boys, like those in the Danish study, could end up producing less sperm and developing feminised behaviour. Research at Rotterdam's Erasmus University found that boys whose mothers were exposed to PCBs and dioxins were more likely to play with dolls and tea sets and dress up in female clothes.
And it is in the womb that babies are most vulnerable; a study of umbilical cords from British mothers found that every one contained hazardous chemicals. Scientists at the University of Rochester in New York discovered that boys born to women exposed to phthalates had smaller penises and other feminisation of the genitals.
The contamination may also offer a clue to a mysterious shift in the sex of babies. Normally 106 boys are born for every 100 girls: it is thought to be nature's way of making up for the fact that men were more likely to be killed hunting or in conflict. But the proportion of females is rising, so much so that some 250,000 babies who statistically should have been boys have ended up as girls in Japan and the United States alone. In Britain, the discrepancy amounts to thousands of babies a year.
A Canadian Indian community living on ancestral lands at the eastern tip of Lake Huron, hemmed in by one of the biggest agglomerations of chemical factories on earth, gives birth to twice as many girls as boys. It's the same around Seveso in Italy, contaminated with dioxins from a notorious accident in the 1970s, and among Russian pesticide workers. And there's more evidence from places as far apart as Israel and Taiwan, Brazil and the Arctic.
Yet gender-benders are largely exempt from new EU regulations controlling hazardous chemicals. Britain, then under Tony Blair's premiership, was largely responsible for this – restricting their inclusion in the first draft of the legislation, and then causing even what was included to be watered down. Confidential documents show that it did so after pressure from George W Bush's administration, which protested that US exports "could be impacted".
Now the Danish government is planning to lobby to have the rules toughened up. It is particularly concerned by other studies which show that gender-bending chemicals acting together have far worse effects than the expected sum of their individual impacts. It wants this to be reflected in the regulations, citing its discovery of the many sources to which the two-year-olds are exposed – modern slings and arrows, as it were, of outrageous fortune.

Springfield City Council considering ban on facial recognition technology
by: Mike Masciadrelli
Posted: Sep 18, 2019 / 03:06 PM EDT / Updated: Sep 18, 2019 / 06:45 PM EDT
SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WWLP) – The Springfield City Council is considering a ban on facial recognition technology.
Councilor Orlando Ramos proposed the ordinance in anticipation of the police department purchasing and using body cameras.
"We thought it was the best thing to do for the City of Springfield to just ban it," said Councilor Ramos.
Councilor Ramos said having this legislation in place would be in the city's best interest. He said facial recognition technology has shown to be ineffective at times identifying people. And banning it would help protect residents' privacy.
"When it comes to women and people of color, facial recognition cameras can't really tell the distinction between them, people who somewhat look alike, so this could be dangerous when you talk about public safety," Springfield City Councilor Orlando Ramos said. "We just want to make sure we avoid that."
Springfield Police spokesman Ryan Walsh told 22News officers will be testing out body cameras from four different companies over the next few weeks, but these cameras do not incorporate facial recognition technology. They anticipate officers will begin wearing body cameras before the end of the year.
Ramos said the council will vote on the ordinance before the end of October. He said he has the support necessary for it to pass.

Love to pray. Feel often during the day the need for prayer, and take trouble to pray. Prayer enlarges the heart until it is capable of containing God's gift of himself. Ask and seek, and your heart will grow big enough to receive him and keep him as your own.
In Knoxville this summer it has been a wet one. In fact, the rainfall total for the summer thus far is 20.06 inches. That's a lot of rain! Especially when you compare it to the average for the entire summer of 11.64. In June alone we had 10.26 inches, compared to the average of 4.04. Needless to say, it seems like it's been raining all summer long. The silver lining is that I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to water my garden.
As I shared in the fall, (In This Post), I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed. Last spring when I was building a flower bed in my back yard, I thought through everything in great detail...just about. The one thing I didn't think about was that the location I planted my garden in was no where near any sort of water supply. And last summer was nowhere near like this summer. Last summer we were famine for water rather than feast--we had a bit off a drought you might say. So, last summer I had to carry bucket, after bucket, after bucket, of water to my little flower garden just to keep things even close to being alive.
Well this year is a whole different story, and in that respect I am grateful. It made me think back to the whole idea of prayer again. How some seasons prayer flows so easily, seeming like rain from above, a gift of overflowing abundance. And some seasons prayer is much more difficult, requiring a great deal of effort, and endurance, and perseverance. Teresa of Avila wrote a lot about this centuries ago (again, see This Post).
For most of this summer, my prayer hasn't exactly matched up with this rainy season we've been having here in Knoxville (rain is good in this metaphor:). It has been mundane, scattered, and sporadic, and if the truth be known...work. And that is not a bad thing, it is living a particular season and remaining faithful in spite of the conditions; it just seems like I've been carrying the bucket to the creek a lot to draw water. But in the last few weeks, the skies have opened up, it seems. And the rain has been pouring down from above...or within...I'm not sure which. Possibly it has been both. And I am extraordinarily grateful. So, even though I'd like to have a little less rain in the month of August for recreational purposes, my garden, and my soul, hopes it just keeps on raining.

Sundance '09: Dare
What a delightful little film. Dare is a simply story told with very ballsy execution. Straight-edge highschooler and wannabe actress, Alexa (Emmy Rossum) quickly finds her life uneventful after an accomplished actor brutally throws all of her faults in her face. She decides to stop hanging out so much with her nerdy best friend Ben (Ashley Springer) and to "slut it up" with hot-shit Mr. Popular, Johnny (Zach Gilford).
It doesn't take long with things to seriously heat up. Soon enough the three are involved in a steamy love triangle that really gets the blood pumping. But underneath its humor and booming musical score (a character in itself), there is real drama to this satire.
Johnny is a dick, sure, but it's incredible how much we grow to care for him. Gilford, excellent in TVs Friday Night Lights, gives Johnny layer after impenetrable layer. He's a seriously flawed guy hiding behind his temporary popularity. How many people did you know like that in high school?
Rossum (Sean Penn's daughter in Mystic River, Phantom of the Opera) delivers a star making performance as emotional Alexa. She's funny, daring and so sexy it's incendiary. I couldn't take my eyes off her; she has a lasting conviction.
The movie doesn't stumble down typical high school clichés, instead, it present a new look at how the rich kids live. It's great fun, with a message.
Note: look out for the stage actor that puts Alexa in her place, it's a great cameo from a tremendously talented actor. Don't ruin the surprise. A-

Last Friday, we heard from Tony Kelly of the Digby Area Health Coalition about barriers to primary care in the community. Then the NSHA sent us a letter with concerns about that message for doctor recruitment. Lynn Edwards and Rick Gibson of NSHA Primary Health Care signed that letter.


Man, we are going to be roughing it!
Adding insult to injury is the weather. Today, it's sunny and 80 degrees. Tomorrow and Saturday? They're forecasting rain and 60. But are we even considering canceling the reservation and postponing the trip? Not a chance! Mostly because I bragged on Facebook about what an "outdoorsy" guy I am. To let a little drizzle stop us now would be downright embarrassing. So we'll shoulder on and muddle through and bring rain gear and layers of warm clothing and just hope for the best. I'm more worried about the kids. Not sure how they're going to survive without internet service. They live on their phones and computers. Audrey's got an iPad, for heaven's sake. When I was her age I had a clunky old Walkman…and I was thankful for that!
"We're going to be living just like the pioneers!" I told them reassuringly, carefully skipping over any mention of the Donner Party. Besides, we'll have two coolers full of food and will be back in a couple of days, so I doubt we're going to have to resort to cannibalism on this trip. As romantic as that notion sounds, "just like the pioneers" isn't really a selling point. That lack of internet connectivity is just the tip of the iceberg. No air-conditioning, no SUVs, no Breaking Bad.
No, thanks. This city boy is happy being a city boy. In the 21st century.
Yesterday I picked up a temporary one-day fishing license for Rusty. This will be the kids' first foray into fishing, and I'm hoping they have fun. By some lucky twist of fate we were having spaghetti for dinner last night, affording me the perfect opportunity to discuss how to bait a hook with big, fat, juicy and slimy night crawlers. The way Audrey was staring at her pasta was priceless.
Regardless of the weather and any sort of squeamishness on the kids' parts, I'm sure this weekend will be lots of fun and one big adventure.
Coincidentally, tomorrow also marks the one year anniversary of my solo road trip. Apparently June 22nd is synonymous with hitting the road and starting an adventure. I find it hard to believe that an entire year has gone by since I pointed my car east and started driving. I remember the near-manic sense of excitement I felt in the hours leading up to my departure, and the constant jubilation I experienced with each click of the odometer. It was definitely one of the best two weeks of my life, and a part of me wishes I could turn back the clock and relive it again. But then I think about how much happier I am today, and how much fuller my life is, and I realize that I wouldn't trade this in for anything. The trip was a blast, sure, but it was also a temporary escape from an annoyingly humdrum reality. Plus, Tara and I were friends then – we even talked on the phone a couple of times during my trip – but we were still just friends. The good stuff wouldn't happen for another two months.
I really, really like the good stuff.
So, off we go! I hope to regale you with tales of adventure and intrigue when I return.
If I survive to tell about it, that is. Did I mention there are "vault toilets" there…?
Not only will it be an adventure, it'll be a FUN adventure! We'll have our beer gloves, horseshoes, and rain gear. 'Nuff said.
Oh, wait…I don't like beer. Never mind. But you did have me at FUN anyway, so it's all good. (Plus I'll have gin. Lots and lots of gin).
Okay, I'm dying hear/read all about this faaaaabulous adventure when you get back. I bet you're gonna have a BLAST! And honestly, the rain wouldn't bother me because I really like rain. Gosh Mark, I can hardly believe it's been a YEAR since you took your solo trip because I remember it like it was yesterday!
I'll be leaving for two weeks on Monday, so I'll catch up on your posts when I'm in Florida.
I want to wish you guys an AWESOME adventure this weekend!
Have a great time, Pioneers Mark and Tara!
P.S. oh, and don't forget TOILET PAPER and HAND SANITIZER!!!!
Don't get me wrong: I love rain, too. It's just sort of funny that we've had two warm, clear days and that's all about to come crashing down just in time for our trip. But this is the Pacific Northwest and we're used to that around here. It'll be a blast! And yes, we'll have tp and hand sanitizers AND…most important of all…baby wipes!
Enjoy your trip to Florida, my friend. Looking forward to hearing about it when you return.
Good news is the toilets are covered…better than going behind the bushes and maybe getting a rash along there somewhere.
Oh! Another good thing is that with that weather you are supposed to have, the bugs will be-gone!! Woohoo!!
Can't wait to hear all about it! Next week. When you guys come up!!
Either the bugs will be gone, or they'll all be hanging out in our tent in order to escape from the rain.
We'll see you in just a few days, Tracy!
I'm perfectly content with the nearest tree when it comes to peeing. Anything else though, and I'm-a gonna want that terlet with the door!
)… yes it got its own comment. Parentheses are important!
As a grammar nazi, I couldn't agree more. Thank you for closing the loop!
So as I am looking at the picture of the outhouse it reminds me of a recent news story. A man woke up early in the morning he decided to leave the outhouse door open to admire the morning view. However, he got a little more than expected and was attacked by a black bear.
I'm glad you told me this. I'll be certain to bring along my can of pepper spray every time I visit the outhouse.
Be ready! The bear pulled the unexpecting camper right off the John and dragged him into the bush. Could you imagine?
I do love me some Spanish moss, so we'll have to wait and see how this works out first. Wait…are there real toilets in the bayou?
I am alum North Miami Senior High '67, home of the Fighting Pioneers. No mountains or forests though. Miami Beach.
just for the record…REAL camping doesn't include the amenities. wimp.
Amy!! Long time no hear. Thanks for stopping by. You can still camp in Florida, though I'm sure the experience is quite a bit different there.
LOL. We did, and you're right, we didn't.


If you have one, please pass this information along to the person or company who usually provides technical assistance for your computer or other connected devices.
Widomaker will be retiring our current e-mail server platform (Wilma) in the coming weeks. A specific date will be announced in the near future. We plan to automatically migrate all active e-mail accounts, on our current platform, to the new and improved platform, at that time. Customers' e-mail addresses will not change. Only the e-mail server is changing.
We do not plan to automatically migrate inactive e-mail accounts, that haven't received and downloaded new mail for more than a year. However, billing will continue for any inactive accounts, until our office is contacted to remove them.
The new e-mail platform will include several improvements, such as more storage space on the server. Currently, e-mail accounts are allowed up to 10 megabytes (MB) of server storage space. The new platform will allow up to 5 gigabytes (GB), which is 5000 megabytes (MB).
Customers will continue to be able to use their desktop or laptop POP3 e-mail program (e-mail client), such as Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, which has always been the recommended, and most supported, method of accessing Widomaker e-mail accounts. However, the additional server storage space will make it more practical to access e-mail from multiple devices, using IMAP or Webmail, including mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
Several changes related to the upcoming migration to the new e-mail platform are highlighted below. Additional announcements will be made in the weeks and days leading up to the changeover to the new e-mail platform.
Currently, when customers log in to access e-mail using an e-mail client program like Outlook, Thunderbird, a mobile e-mail app, or Webmail, they log in with their e-mail username, which is the first part of their e-mail address, before the "@" sign.
The new e-mail platform will require that customers log in using their full e-mail address (username@widomaker.com) for the username, instead of just the username portion of their e-mail address.
Once the migration is complete (a specific date will be announced in the near future), customers may be prompted to reenter their username and password, or they may receive a login error suggesting the username or password, they are using, is incorrect. When that happens, customers will need to update the settings, in their e-mail software, to include the full e-mail address (username@widomaker.com) in the "Username" or "Account Name" field. The password will remain the same as it is now. Please make sure you know what your password is, and have it stored in a safe, but accessible, place, prior to the migration.
Do not try to make this username setting change in advance. Only make it after the migration has completed. A specific date will be announced in the near future.
The new e-mail platform will cost us more, per e-mail address, than our old e-mail platform. We believe the increase in cost is justified due to the increased server storage space (5GB!) and other improvements. As a result, there will be some changes to Widomaker's pricing and packages that include e-mail accounts.
Currently, customers who subscribe to certain packages including, Dial-up Internet Access, or DSL Internet Access, are optionally allowed several @widomaker.com e-mail accounts. Going forward, existing customers, who are subscribed to an eligible package (such as dial-up or DSL), will be allowed one @widomaker.com e-mail account, included in their package. It is anticipated that additional e-mail accounts will cost an additional $1.50/month, each.
Billing for more than one e-mail address will begin soon. Please review the e-mail addresses you have added to your Widomaker account. Let us know if you are no longer using any of them, so they can be removed before billing for them begins. If you don't remember which e-mail addresses you have added to your account, please e-mail us for assistance.
(*) Widomaker's existing Webmail system was only ever intended for short term, temporary use, while customers were traveling, and away from their home computer. However, we are aware that some customers, against our recommendation, have been using the existing Webmail system as their daily method of checking e-mail. While Widomaker will continue to suggest using a Desktop/Laptop E-mail Client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, customers who would prefer to use the new Webmail system (https://webmail.widomaker.com/), as their primary method of checking e-mail, will not be discouraged from doing so. The increase in server storage space makes this much more practical.
Widomaker's existing anti-spam system rejects e-mail messages that are determined to have high likelihood of being spam. In the case of messages with a valid sender's address, the rejected messages are returned to the sender letting them know the message did not go through.
The new e-mail platform also includes advanced spam filtering. However, messages detected as spam may not be rejected and returned to the sender. Instead, by default, messages may be quarantined, in a special spam/junk folder, that will only be visible in the new Webmail system, or via IMAP. Messages placed in quarantine will be automatically deleted within 30 days. Customers wishing to review the quarantine for legitimate messages, detected as spam, should review the quarantine, by logging into Webmail (https://webmail.widomaker.com/), at least, several times a month. Any legitimate messages found in the spam quarantine folder can be released from quarantine by using the "Not Spam" or "Not Junk" button, in Webmail.
With the retirement of our Wilma server, any customers still using the old "Personal Web Storage" for a "Personal Web Page" will need to find an alternate home for their personal web page, perhaps by using one of our web hosting packages. If you are affected, please contact our office to discuss options.
Websites that used the Personal Web Storage space had an address/URL in the format of "http://www.widomaker.com/~username". Decades ago (in the 1990s), it was common to include personal web page space along with a dial-up Internet account. Once the cost of domain name registration and website hosting became affordable, the included "Personal Web Storage" was seldom used or offered.
We are excited for the upcoming e-mail upgrades. Be sure to review the extra e-mail addresses you have on your account. Please stay tuned for further announcements, regarding these changes, via e-mail, and posted on our Members Home, Weblog, Facebook, and Twitter pages.


When 5 pm rolls around, who says you have to go straight home? Why not take advantage of the sunlight and the long days from the comfort of one of our best outdoor bars! But, since rooftop bars and boat bars can get pricey, we have the budget-conscious covered with happy hours you can enjoy on a roof, in a garden, or by the water, so you can soak up your vitamin D without dipping into your summer vacation fund.
Monday-Friday, 5-8pm. Cocktails for $10, draft beers for $5, wine for $8.
While the downstairs of Bonnie Vee feels like stepping into Don Draper's dream man-cave, its quaint upstairs patio is a completely different world. Quirky and comfy, lots of padded seating welcomes you to relax with a few friends, and an antique clock on the wall is a fantastic reminder to run downstairs at 7:59pm for one last happy hour bevvy. As far as their specials go, it is one of the most extensive and generous in the city. A "bartender's choice" option for $10 means you can come over and over and always try something new. Also for $10 is the Jessica Rabbit, a frozen strawberry slushy drink with chili-infused Santera Tequila Blanco, which is perfect for a hot afternoon. For $8 enjoy a Pinot Grigio, Malbec or Prosecco, and for $5 have a pint of Goose Island IPA or Narragansett.
Monday– Friday, 10am-7pm. Half off bar.
The grassy, spacious outdoor area of this bumping Williamsburg hangout is an apt setting for working, relaxing, or even enjoy a match of outdoor Ping-Pong. In addition to their amazing daily happy hour, they also offer great specials virtually every day of the week. On Mondays, enjoy one of their signature burgers and a beer for $10. On Tuesdays, skip the lines for Maison Premiere and go to them for $1 oysters and $5 wine. Wednesday is $3 draft night, and Thursdays are $6 Moscow Mules.

Monday-Friday, 3-6pm. $2 off all beer, well liquor and wine.
Monday-Friday, 5-7pm. $4 off all half-litres of beer.
This authentic Czech beer garden, opened in 1910, offers plenty of mingle-friendly picnic tables, where you can sit while you sample cheap platters of sausage and a solid lineup of European and domestic beers (pints $6, pitchers $16). Though the huge, tree-canopied garden is open year-round, summer is the prime time to soak up some rays over a pint. Prost!
Monday-Thursday, 5-7pm, Friday 3-7pm. $2 off well, wine and tap beer.
As far as backyards go, the Sea Witch may very well have the best in NYC. Grab a seat in the patio and gaze out into the pond, where you will spot many a koi fish, and possibly a turtle or two. For happy hour, in addition to wine and well options, try out one of the 20 on-tap drafts, which balance local craft darlings like Greenport Harbor—try the smooth Black Duck Porter ($5)—with no-frills classics fit for a longshoreman (Guinness, MGD).
All day Monday, Tuesday-Friday, 4-8pm. Narragansett Cans $3, Select Drafts $5, House Liquor $6, Select Wine Pours $7, House Cocktails $10.
This quaint 100-seat bar near the Gowanus Canal takes its name from a poetic moniker for the channel's murky waters. Find five rotating draft brews (like Lagunitas IPA and Reissdorf Kölsch) and a handful of cocktails, including the namesake tipple, which is made with lavender-infused vodka, iced tea and lemon. Sip your drink with small plates, like an heirloom-tomato salad and boquerón toast, or heartier dishes such as a burger or steak. The four co-owners boast design backgrounds: Look for their handcrafted furnishings in the converted horse-stable space, including the reclaimed-wood bar, silver-treated mirrors and outdoor patio.
Mon-Fri 12-7pm. $1 off beer, wine and rails. $8 frozen drinks.
Take a summer Friday and post up for an all day happy hour in this newly opened Bushwick Caribbean restaurant, which features a huge backyard decked out with tropical shrubbery to make you at least pretend you're in Turks and Caicos for the day.
Monday-Sunday 12pm-6pm. $5 rotating drink special, $5 rosé and $5 margaritas.
On the patio of New Orleans-inspired restaurant Loosie's Kitchen, is Loosie's Cafe, a newly opened outdoor space perfect for working, lounging, and of course, drinking! Enter through the beautiful tunnel entrance etched with branches toward a mural by artist Love Berto. Then, enjoy their clean and airy space which is adjacent to their bar (in case you want to make happy hour even happier). Their happy hour cocktail special rotates regularly, so come back often to try new concoctions. The current special is a kale matcha margarita, which is pretty much the liquid equivalent of the gym, right? Keeping true to their NOLA spirit (by way of Williamsburg) they also have $1 oysters during happy hour as well.
The name says it all: To be a huckleberry is to be the right one for the job, and Huckleberry Bar is just that. Owners Andrew Boggs and Stephanie Schneider have created an experience that will satisfy any boozer's desire: choice beers, an ace wine selection, serious cocktails and respectable eats. Every detail, down to a DJ who adjusts the soundtrack to fit the crowd and hour, is tailored to give you what you want. Acquire an intimate table in the expansive room and call for a glass of punch or a house drink such as the Greenbriar, made with oloroso sherry, peach bitters and Lillet.

Looking for New York's best Sunday happy hour? Pep up Sunday Funday with cheap drinks at these NYC watering holes.


I know that during the holidays a lot of us bake cookies, and cookie bars, fudge and pies and all that yummy goodness, so I thought it would be a neat idea to have the 12 Days of Baking.
Today's recipe is for Easy Candy-Bar Treats!!!
1. Line a 9x9x2-inch or 11x7x11/2-inch baking pan with foil, extending the foil over edges of pan. Butter the foil; set pan aside.
2. In a large microwave-safe bowl microwave the butter, uncovered, on 100 percent power (high) for 1 to 1-1/2 minutes or until melted. Stir in cocoa powder, brown sugar, and milk. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 1 to 2 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil, stirring once. Stir again; microwave for 30 seconds more. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spread in prepared pan.
3. In a medium microwave-safe bowl combine caramels and water. Microwave, uncovered, on 50 percent power (medium) for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes or until caramels are melted, stirring once. Stir in peanuts. Microwave, uncovered, on medium for 45 to 60 seconds more or until mixture is softened. Gently and quickly spread peanut mixture over fudge layer in pan.
4. In a 2-cup microwave-safe glass measure combine semisweet and milk chocolate pieces. Microwave, uncovered, on 50 percent power (medium) for 2 to 3 minutes or until melted, stirring once or twice. Spread over peanut layer. Score into pieces while warm. Cover and chill for 2 to 3 hours or until bottom is firm. Use foil to lift candy out of pan. Cut into pieces. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. Makes about 2-3/4 pounds (64 pieces).
Stove-top directions: In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Stir in cocoa powder, brown sugar, and milk. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat; stir in powdered sugar and vanilla. Spread in prepared pan. In another saucepan melt caramels with water over low heat; stir in peanuts. Gently and quickly spread over fudge layer in pan. In a small saucepan melt semisweet and milk chocolate pieces over low heat, stirring constantly. Spread over peanut layer. Continue as directed.
Today I'm going for pies...who doesn't like pie huh??? Caramel, pecans and pumpkin all in one pie...YUMMY!!!
1. Prepare and roll out pastry. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Trim; crimp edge as desired. In a large bowl stir together eggs, pumpkin, and half-and-half or milk. Stir in the granulated sugar, flour, lemon peel, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Pour pumpkin mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. Cover the edge of the pie with foil to prevent overbrowning. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl stir together the brown sugar, pecans, and butter until combined. Remove foil. Sprinkle brown sugar mixture over top of pie. Bake for 20 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and topping is golden and bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and refrigerate within 2 hours.
For today's recipe I picked some Toffee.....mmmmmm yummy.
Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges of pan. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts in pan. Set pan aside.
Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In saucepan melt butter. Add sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils. Clip a candy thermometer to side of pan. Reduce heat to medium; continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate, stirring frequently, till thermometer registers 290 degree F, soft-crack stage (about 15 minutes). Watch care-fully after 280 degree F to prevent scorching. Remove saucepan from heat; remove thermometer. Pour candy into the prepared pan.
Let candy stand about 5 minutes or till firm; sprinkle with chocolate. Let stand 1 to 2 minutes. When chocolate has softened, spread over candy. Sprinkle with the 1/2 cup finely chopped nuts. Chill until firm. When candy is firm, use foil to lift it out of pan; break into pieces. Store tightly covered. Makes about 1-1/2 pounds (48 servings).
Who doesn't like cake?!?!?! WE all love a big slice of yummy cake don't we??? Especially during the holidays, I always have some cake at the house and I thought this one was a perfect one to share with you all. How does White chocolate sound??? You up for it???
1. For frosting, in a medium saucepan combine whipping cream and chocolate. Cook, stirring occasionally, over low heat until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl; cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 2 hours.
2. Meanwhile, grease and flour two 9x1-1/2-inch or 8x1-1/2-inch round cake pans; set aside. Prepare cake mix according to package directions using egg whites. Spoon about 1-1/2 cups of batter into each cake pan. Sift cocoa over batter remaining in bowl; stir until blended. Spoon on cake mix in pans; swirl gently to marble and to spread batter evenly. Bake according to package directions except check cakes several minutes before minimum time indicated on package.* Let cakes cool on wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
3. Add cream cheese to chilled white chocolate mixture; beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until sugar is completely combined. (Mixture should hold soft peaks; do not overbeat.) Use immediately.
4. Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Frost with about 3�4 cup frosting. Top with second cake layer. Frost top and sides of cake.
5. Serve immediately or cover and chill until serving time (up to 4 hours). To serve, garnish cake with Sugared Rosemary and Cranberries and crushed biscotti, if desired. Makes 12 servings.
Sugared Rosemary and Cranberries: Lightly spray several rosemary sprigs and cranberries with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle granulated sugar on rosemary; roll cranberries in a small amount of granulated sugar to coat. Place on waxed paper for at least 1 hour before using. This is a decorative, not edible, garnish.
NOTE: The added cocoa makes the cakes bake in a shorter time.
Starting today, I'm going to post a baking recipe everyday, for the next 12 days until Christmas. How does that sound??? I know that during the holidays a lot of us bake cookies, and cookie bars, fudge and pies and all that yummy goodness, so I thought it would be a neat idea to have the 12 Days of Baking.
If you like Brownies as much as I do, then this recipe is definitely a MUST TRY, they are so good!
1. In a saucepan, melt the unsweetened chocolate and butter over low heat. Remove the mixture from the heat.Stir in 1-1/3 cups of the sugar and the 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Cool the mixture for 15 minutes. Beat in the 3 eggs and the 3/4 cup flour.
2. In a mixing bowl, mix the remaining 1/3 cup sugar, the cream cheese, the 1 egg, the 4 teaspoons flour, and the 1/4 teaspoon vanilla.
3. Coat an 8x8x2-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 2/3 of the chocolate batter in the pan. Spoon cream cheese layer over batter. Dollop with remaining chocolate batter.
4. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with chocolate pieces. Bake for 12 minutes more. Cool. Cover; store in the refrigerator. Let the chilled dessert stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to serve. Makes 16 servings.
