So close! Soon this will be ours! The last steps are now in motion. I know this looks like a thousand other suburban houses. The difference is, this is *our* suburban house. Plus, it really is pretty neat on the inside. Pics soon, when we officially have the keys!

"More than 100,000 people have joined a Facebook group urging viewers to take part in “Hug a Jew Day” today. Ben Plaut of Pittsburgh created the group, asking followers: “Please aspire to hug as many Jews as possible.” People from Israel, Australia, Britain and America are among those that have joined the group. So, who would you hug and why? TV vet Marc Abraham: “I would love to hug Larry David for giving us the comedic masterpiece that is Curb Your Enthusiasm.”"

I don't like investing time into something and then it ends up being time wasted.
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
The simple answer is no one knows. There are plenty of posts about it, but the answer from Paul was Friendfeed isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Doesn't mean it is a priority for features, etc either. Really, a non-answer answer.
- Eric @ CS Techcast
Sigh. I really dislike non-answers. I think facebook will get rid of it - anyone else think that?
- Jannifer @wordsforliving
It may just live on, that's my guess. I doubt they ever "shut it down" for years.
- Eric @ CS Techcast
I don't think they will get rid of it. It isn't a threat to Facebook and could really be considered part of the family now. It may not get any more major updates, but it will still be around as long as people are around using it. Also, I would like to add that I don't think Facebook is as bad as some others, it is a good service that is made even better when you ignore those crappy apps.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
Haven't heard anything, so I have the same questions. I'd like to use FF for a value-add to conferences, but this would mean selling FF to get conference attendees to sign-up for it and participate. But FF is better than Twitter, even if the FF feature set remains somewhat static. But HERE'S HOPING that FF continues to evolve, perhaps in an open source context with Bucheit (sp?) et. al. curating!

"Swiss scientists say people who are stressed and reach for dark chocolate -- the "chocolate cure" -- do seem to experience less emotional stress. Sunil Kochhar of the Nestle Research Center in Lausanne, Switzerland, conducted a clinical trial involving 30 human subjects, who were classified in low and high anxiety traits using validated psychological questionnaires. Urine and blood plasma were collected during three test days at the beginning, mid-time and at the end of a two-week study. Kochhar said human subjects with higher anxiety trait showed a distinct metabolic profile indicative of a different energy homeostasis, hormonal metabolism and gut microbial activity. The study, published in the Journal of Proteome Research, found eating about one-and-one-half ounce of dark chocolate a day for two weeks reduced levels of stress hormones in the bodies of people who say they feel highly stressed. "The study provides strong evidence that a daily consumption of 40 grams -- 1.4 ounces (of...

pleasure is pleasure. the brain can't tell what's causing it. if it stimulates the pleasure centers and gets the endorfins flowing, it's all good baby. and if it tastes good too? well, that's just extra gravy on the chicken-fried steak!

my guess is that chocolate has chemical that stimulate dopamine production, and that is what is causing the effect - other studies have compared dark chocolate to milk chocolate (which is not really chocolate at all) and found no effect for milk chocolate

"There was something very magical about this type of hot chocolate Starbucks was offering. As a result I became an addict.

Imagine how much I mourned when I discovered a couple months ago Starbucks was not bringing back my seasonal drink."

"Wait a minute. It’s less than 2 weeks till Thanksgiving. Shouldn’t I be seeing a pumpkin pie here? Well… yeah, if you’re totally wedded to tradition. And admittedly, this is the time of year when many of us are. Grandma always made pumpkin pie. Or Mom always bought Mrs. Smith’s frozen apple pie (and passed it off as homemade by “distressing” the edges). Whatever. If it’s your family tradition, it’s a comfortable raft to cling to. Then again, as Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, “A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Which to me, translates as “Let someone else bring the darned pumpkin pie. I’M making Chocolate Chunk Pecan.” And I have, for the past five Thanksgivings at my brother-in-law’s. And you know what? It leaves those other Thanksgiving regulars in the dust. Especially when I set the Ben & Jerry’s Vanilla Bean ice cream alongside. Have I convinced you? DARE you go beyond pumpkin? If so, have at it: Chocolate Chunk Pecan Pie may just become your new Thanksgiving must-have."

My mom used to make a chocolate pecan pie. Honestly, it was kind of heavy and not that great.
- D0r0th34
I've made one in the past that was heavy, too. This recipe is a lot different from that one, though, so I'm willing to give it another try. EDITED TO ADD: The main difference is that this one doesn't include corn syrup. I think every other fudge pecan pie recipe I've seen uses it.

Okay -- grammatically ambiguous. My mother does not bake in bars; rather, she bakes in the form of bars, a kind of pressed cookie (according to Betty Crocker).
