Notes & Outlines COLOSSIANS "By Dr. J. Vernon McGee © Thru the Bible Radio Network,http://www.ttb.org. "
(Audio index:MCGEECOMMENTARYAUDIO Colossians )
WRITER: Paul kjv@Colossians:1:1)
DATE: About A.D. 62
CHURCH AT COLOSSE: Paul had never been to Colosse when he wrote this epistle kjv@Colossians:2:1). He was in Ephesus for about two years where he had his most fruitful ministry kjv@Acts:19:8-19). Colosse was 75 to 100 miles east of Ephesus, and visitors from Colosse had heard Paul and had come to know Christ. Apparently Philemon was one of these. A church came into existence in Colosse kjv@Philemon:2). Epaphras was the minister of the Colossian church kjv@Colossians:1:4-8 kjv@Colossians:4:12-13). Paul intended to visit there when he was released from prison kjv@Philemon:22). Paul wrote to this church as though it were his own.
PROBLEM AT COLOSSE: Colosse, located in southwest Phrygia in Asia Minor, near Laodicea, was beset with oriental mysticism. Gnosticism had evidently intruded with its Greek pantheistic philosophy of the demiurge.
PAUL'S ANSWER kjv@Colossians:1:28
GNOSTICISM (1) They had an exclusive spirit (were aristocratic in wisdom). (2) They held speculative tenets on creation — that God did not create the universe directly, but created a creature who in turn created another creature, until one finally created the physical universe. Christ was considered a creature in this long series of creations. (3) Their ethical practice was asceticism (influenced by Greek Stoicism) and unrestrained licentiousness (from Greek Epicureanism).

MESSAGE OF COLOSSIANS: Colossians is the chart and compass that enable the believer to sail between the ever-present Scylla and Charybdis. "Pure Christianity lives between two dangers ever present: the danger that it will evaporate into a philosophy — philosophies of the atonement…and the danger that it will freeze into a form" (Dr. Scofield). Jesus said that He is the water of life. He did not say that He was the ice of life; He did not say that He was the steam of life. We are not told to add something to Christ nor to subtract from Him. The message of this epistle can best be seen by comparing it with other prison epistles.

COMMENT: I. DOCTRINAL, kjv@Colossians:1-2 In Christ, the fullness (pleroma) of God, we are made full.
A. Introduction, kjv@Colossians:1:1-8
kjv@Colossians:1:1 — Paul's standard opening associates his name with that of Timothy, who may have visited Colosse.
kjv@Colossians:1:2 — He does not mean to differentiate between the saints and the faithful. They are the same people.
kjv@Colossians:1:3 — Paul gives thanks directly to "God…the Father." This is His redemptive provision kjv@John:3:16). Gnosticism did not believe one could go directly to God, but rather through the emanations of God.
kjv@Colossians:1:4-5 — Paul links the trinity of graces for believers: Faith — past Love — present Hope — future
kjv@Colossians:1:6 — "World" is kosmos, meaning the Roman world. Vincent considers this hyperbole. Gospel preaching had already far-reaching results. It reveals the universal character of the gospel. "Fruit" is produced in those who believe.
kjv@Colossians:1:7 — Epaphras may have been the founder of the church, as some suppose.
kjv@Colossians:1:8 — "Love" is the fruit of the Spirit.
B. Paul's prayer, kjv@Colossians:1:9-14
kjv@Colossians:1:9 — Paul put the Colossians on his prayer list. "Knowledge" is epignosin, superknowledge. The Gnostics boasted that they had superknowledge. Here Paul confines it to the will of God, which is expressed in the Word of God. It gives "wisdom and spiritual understanding." "Wisdom," in all its forms occurs forty times in this epistle.
kjv@Colossians:1:10 — "Worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing" means that they would not be obsequious to man. "Increasing in the knowledge of God" — a Christian should not be static but alive and growing in the Word of God.
kjv@Colossians:1:11 — Strength and power come from God and are produced by the Holy Spirit in patience, longsuffering, and joyfulness.
kjv@Colossians:1:12 — God, by His grace, has given us an inheritance with the saints in light.
kjv@Colossians:1:13 — We have been delivered from the kingdom of Satan kjv@Ephesians:2:2) into the kingdom of "the Son of his love" (ASV). This is the present aspect of the kingdom of God.
kjv@Colossians:1:14 — Forgiveness is always associated with the blood of Christ. God does not arbitrarily or sentimentally forgive sin. "Redemption" is apolutrosin, meaning to set free an enslaved people.
C. Person of Christ, kjv@Colossians:1:15-19
This section on the person of Christ is the answer to all heresy concerning His person. One of the first heresies was Arianism. Arius of Alexandria said that the Lord Jesus Christ was a creature. The Council of Nicaea, A.D. 325, answered this heresy: "The Son is very man of very man, and very God of very God." Later Socinus propagated this heresy that Jesus was not God. This is the basis of Unitarianism and some of the cults, including Jehovah's Witnesses. There are nine marks of identification of Christ that make Him different and superior:
kjv@Colossians:1:15 — (1) "Image" (eikon; kjv@Hebrews:1:3; kjv@John:1:18). He could not be the image of God unless He was God.
(2) "The first-born of all creation" (prototokos; kjv@John:1:14 kjv@John:1:18 kjv@John:3:16). God is the everlasting Father; the Son is the everlasting Son. His position in the Trinity is that of Son. "First-born" indicates His priority before all creation. His headship of all creation does not necessarily mean He was born first kjv@Hebrews:1:6; kjv@Revelation:1:5; kjv@Romans:8:29). In incarnation He is the Son of God in a new sense. The angel's announcement to Mary was, "…That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God" kjv@Luke:1:35). Christ is the same in substance, equal in power and glory with the Father.
kjv@Colossians:1:16 — (3) "By him were all things created" clears up any question about Christ being the Creator or a creature in verse kjv@Colossians:1:15 (cp. kjv@John:1:3; kjv@Hebrews:1:2). There are two kinds of creation — "visible and invisible." There are different gradations of rank in spiritual intelligences: "thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers."
(4) He not only created all things, they were created for Him.
kjv@Colossians:1:17 — (5) "He is before all things" — in the preincarnate Christ, all fullness dwells. In the incarnate Christ, all fullness dwells.
(6) He holds all things together. He maintains creation. He directs it. "Consist" (sunesteken) is to hold together (cp. kjv@Hebrews:1:3).
kjv@Colossians:1:18 — (7) "He is the head of the body, the church" (cp. kjv@Ephesians:1:22). He is the firstborn from the dead. He is the only One who has been raised in a glorified body (cp. kjv@Psalms:2:7; kjv@Acts:13:33; kjv@Hebrews:1:5 kjv@Hebrews:1:5:5; kjv@Revelation:1:5).
(8) "That in all things he might have the pre-eminence" — the will of Christ must prevail throughout all of God's creation.
kjv@Colossians:1:19 — (9) The fullness (pleroma) was at home, the full-fullness. Jesus was 100% God — not 99.44%. Relationship to the Father, kjv@Colossians:1:15 Relationship to creation, kjv@Colossians:1:16-17 Relationship to the church, kjv@Colossians:1:18-19 Relationship to the cross, kjv@Colossians:1:20
D. Objective work of Christ for sinners, kjv@Colossians:1:20-23
kjv@Colossians:1:20 — Christ "made peace through the blood of his cross" (cp. kjv@Romans:5:1). God is not a big policeman waiting around the corner ready to pounce on the sinner. God has His arms outstretched and is saying to the sinner, "Come, and I will give you redemption rest." Reconciliation is toward man. God is reconciled by the cross of Christ. He is asking man to be reconciled to Him ( kjv@2Corinthians:5:1820). "All things" is limited to all things appointed for reconciliation (in just such a way as "the loss of all things" is limited to what things Paul had to lose kjv@Philippians:3:8]). "Things in heaven" indicate that not only must we be made ready for heaven, but heaven must be made ready to receive us. The Lord Jesus said, "I go to prepare a place for you" kjv@John:14:2). By the incarnation, God came down to man; by the blood of Jesus, man is brought up to God. Notice that it does not add, "things under the earth" (cp. kjv@Philippians:2:10).
kjv@Colossians:1:21 — "Enemies in your mind" reminds us that there is mental alienation from God as well as moral alienation. This explains the fierce antagonism to God on the part of some so-called intellectuals.
kjv@Colossians:1:22 — "Body of his flesh" is an explicit declaration, as Docetic Gnosticism stated that Christ suffered in appearance but not in a real body. "Unblamable" means without blemish. This was the requirement for a sacrificial animal. "Unreprovable" means unaccusable; unchargeable. "It is God that justifies."
kjv@Colossians:1:23 — This is not conditional, based on the future. It is not something that shall be if something else is. Rather, this is the "if" of argument, often used by Paul. It could be translated, "Since ye continue in the faith…."
E. Subjective work of Christ for saints, kjv@Colossians:1:24-29
kjv@Colossians:1:24 — A free translation could be, "Now I, Paul, rejoice in the midst of my sufferings for you, and I am filling up in my flesh that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ for His body's sake, which is the church." It was necessary to fill up that which was lacking of the suffering of Christ.
(1) There are sufferings of Christ that we cannot share:
(a) Human suffering; (b) Suffering as the Son of God; (c) Suffering as the sacrifice for the sins of the world.
(2) There are sufferings of Christ that we can share:
(a) Suffering for righteousness' sake; (b) Suffering in the measure we identify ourselves with Christ for the proclamation of the gospel. (See author's tape, "The Unfinished Sufferings of Christ.")
kjv@Colossians:1:25 — "Dispensation" is economy; stewardship.
kjv@Colossians:1:26-27 — "Mystery" is a sacred secret. This looks forward to the day when we shall be like Him ( kjv@1John:3:2). We are in Christ down here at present.
kjv@Colossians:1:28-29 — "Perfect in Christ Jesus" means complete. This was the goal of Paul.
F. Christ, the answer to philosophy, kjv@Colossians:2:1-15 (for the HEAD)
There were five errors that endangered the Colossian church:
(1) Enticing words, kjv@Colossians:2:4-7 (2) Philosophy, kjv@Colossians:2:8-13 (3) Legality, kjv@Colossians:2:14-17 (4) Mysticism, kjv@Colossians:2:18-19 (5) Asceticism, kjv@Colossians:2:20-23
kjv@Colossians:2:1 — "Conflict" is agony — called prayer agony by MacPhail. Laodicea was located on the river Lycos, next to Colosse. It was much more prominent than Colosse. Before 250 B.C. it was called Diosopolis. Here, in 364 A.D., the council to determine the canon of Scripture met kjv@Revelation:3:14-22). "As many as have not seen my face in the flesh" makes it obvious that Paul had not been to Colosse.
kjv@Colossians:2:2 — "Heart" indicates the entire man, the whole propulsive nature of man. "Knit together" is compacted (with the thought of instruction). "Full assurance" is under full sail. "Mystery of God" is Christ in His incarnation. "He was very God of very God and very man of very man."
kjv@Colossians:2:3 — We may go to Christ for wisdom and knowledge. "Next to knowledge is knowing where to find out."
kjv@Colossians:2:4 — "Beguile you" means to victimize you. "Enticing words" are oratory or sweet talk.
kjv@Colossians:2:5 — "Order" is a military term, meaning to stand shoulder to shoulder. "Steadfastness" is a solid front; immovable. Paul is commending them for their faithfulness in the face of overwhelming odds against them.
kjv@Colossians:2:6 — "Received" a person, Jesus Christ.
kjv@Colossians:2:7 — "Rooted" as a tree, a living thing. "Built up" as a house "In the faith" is by your faith.
kjv@Colossians:2:8 — "Beware" is look out! "Lest any man" — notice that Paul mentions no names. "Spoil" is booty in a Roman victory parade. "Philosophy" — a true philosopher is a seeker after the truth. Christ is the answer. False philosophy is like a blind man looking in a dark room for a black cat that isn't there. "Tradition of men" — Christ condemned religious rulers for this. "Rudiments" (stoicheion), the ABCs.
kjv@Colossians:2:9 — "Fullness" is pleroma. This is a clear-cut statement of the deity of Christ.
kjv@Colossians:2:10 — "Complete in him" may be translated, "Ye are ready for the voyage of life in Him," picturing a sailing ship out on a voyage.
kjv@Colossians:2:11 — The real circumcision for today is the new birth (cp. kjv@Galatians:6:15; kjv@John:3:3). V: 12 — Identification with Christ is the meaning of being "buried with him in baptism" (see notes on kjv@Romans:6:1-5). "Risen with him" — Lord Lyndhurst, lord chancellor of Great Britain and one of the sharpest legal minds of all time, said: "I know pretty well what evidence is; and I tell you, such evidence as that for the resurrection has never broken down yet."
kjv@Colossians:2:13 — It is not the improvement of the old nature, but the impartation of a new nature.
kjv@Colossians:2:14 — Since the Law was given to discipline the old nature, and the believer is given a new nature, the Law as a way of life was removed per se by the cross of Christ.
kjv@Colossians:2:15 — The spiritual victory that Christ won for the believer is of inestimable value.
G. Christ, the answer to ritual, kjv@Colossians:2:16-23 (for the HEART)
kjv@Colossians:2:16 — A believer is not to observe ordinances that are only ritual and liturgical, as they have no present value (cp. kjv@1Corinthians:8:8-13).
kjv@Colossians:2:17 — "Shadow" is picture; a photograph. All of the rituals of the Law were pictures of Christ. Now that Christ has come, we have the reality, the person of Christ, and we no longer need pictures.
kjv@Colossians:2:18 — Paul is here condemning the Gnostics who made a pretense of wisdom. "Intruding into those things which he hath not seen" is a pretense. The American Standard Version translates it, "Dwelling in the things which he hath seen."
kjv@Colossians:2:19 — "Not holding the Head" indicates a loose relationship to Christ. Therefore they do not grow spiritually.
kjv@Colossians:2:20 — "If ye be dead" might better be translated, "Since ye have died (when Christ died), do not return to pre-cross living." "Ordinances" are fads.
kjv@Colossians:2:21 — This is separation, according to many. Actually this is monkey business — the three little monkeys see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.
kjv@Colossians:2:22 — These are part of the passing fashions of the world.
kjv@Colossians:2:23 — This is "the pride that apes humility" (Juvenal). "Not in any honor" means it is not of any value.
II. PRACTICAL, kjv@Colossians:3-4 Christ, the fullness of God, poured out in life through believers. (Breaking the alabaster box of ointment in the world.)
A. Thoughts and affections of believers are heavenly, kjv@Colossians:3:1-4 (The believer's heart should be in heaven where his Head is.)
kjv@Colossians:3:1 — "Be risen" is were raised — when Christ was raised, we were raised kjv@Romans:6:4-5).
kjv@Colossians:3:2 — "Affection" is mind — think about things above.
kjv@Colossians:3:3 — "For ye are dead" is for ye have died— when Christ died, we died.
kjv@Colossians:3:4 — This is the guarantee for the future. We have died with Him; we have been raised with Him. We are in Christ. When He appears, we appear.
B. Living of believers is holy, kjv@Colossians:3:5—4:6 (In all relationships — personal, social, marital, parental, capital and labor — the believer should manifest Christ.) kjv@Colossians:3
kjv@Colossians:3:5 — "Mortify" is put to death; put in the place of death. "Members" refers to the energies and activities of the old man kjv@Romans:8:6-8). Paul deals with specific sins: "Fornication" refers to physical and spiritual fornication. "Uncleanness" includes thoughts, words, looks, gestures. "Inordinate affection" is passion (ASV); lust. "Evil concupiscence" is evil desire (ASV). "Covetousness" is must-have-more-ness.
kjv@Colossians:3:6 — God judges sinners for these sins, and God must judge believers for committing them.
kjv@Colossians:3:7 — This is the condition of believers before they were saved.
kjv@Colossians:3:8 — "Put off" as a garment. "Malice" is congealed anger. "Filthy communication" is foul communication — both abusive and filthy.
kjv@Colossians:3:9 — "Put off the old man" — the old man is not to control the life of the believer. Garments in Scripture are habits. We use the same expression today when we speak of riding habits or walking habits. The old man is to be put off, taken off as a garment.
kjv@Colossians:3:10 — "Put on the new" garment or habit. Nature abhors a vacuum. Putting off is not enough; we must live in the new man by the power of the Holy Spirit.
kjv@Colossians:3:11 — Christ is all in all. He is a catalyst that brings together individuals and groups who are separate and makes them one in Christ. A catalyst is a substance that is placed with elements that are opposed and brings them together in a new compound.
kjv@Colossians:3:12 — As he labeled the things of the old man that were to be put off, here he labels the specifics that go with the wardrobe of the new man. "Tender mercies" may be translated a heart of compassion. These all are the fruit of the Holy Spirit (cp. kjv@Galatians:5:22-23).
kjv@Colossians:3:13 — This is the basis on which the believer is to forgive, rather than the legal basis given in the so-called Lord's Prayer (cp. kjv@Ephesians:4:32).
kjv@Colossians:3:14-15 — "Love" and "peace" are both fruits of the Holy Spirit kjv@Galatians:5:22).
kjv@Colossians:3:16 — "The word of Christ" — "Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you" kjv@John:15:3). "Dwell" is be at home — be given the run of the house. Many folk praise the Bible but do not study it. Juvenal said, "Virtue is praised and left to starve." This verse is fulfilled only in a Spirit-filled heart (see kjv@Ephesians:5:18-20). Of 2nd century believers, Pliny wrote to the Emperor in A.D. 112: "They meet together before day to sing a hymn to Christ as God."
kjv@Colossians:3:17 — This is the Christian life, the summum bonum of life.
kjv@Colossians:3:18-22 — See notes on kjv@Ephesians:5:22—6:9.
kjv@Colossians:3:23 — Christian service is that which is done to please Christ rather than men.
kjv@Colossians:3:24 — For this he will receive a reward.
kjv@Colossians:3:25 — If the believer attempts to please men, there is no reward.
kjv@Colossians:4:1 — Both masters and servants must give an account to the Master in heaven kjv@Ephesians:6:9). "Just and equal" is not to level down, but to level up.
kjv@Colossians:4:2-6 — Here are three more areas of Christian conduct which are important:
(1) "Prayer" ( kjv@Colossians:4:2-4). Persevere in prayer. Like breathing, inhale (prayer), exhale (thanksgiving). Pray for the preaching of the gospel.
(2) "Walk in wisdom" ( kjv@Colossians:4:5). The public walk is another important factor.
(3) "Speech" ( kjv@Colossians:4:6). We should not be boring, but enthusiastic!
C. Fellowship of believers is hearty, kjv@Colossians:4:7-18 (Roster of faithful workers similar to kjv@Romans:16 and kjv@Hebrews:11.) This section is similar to kjv@Romans:16. It is a roster of believers who lived, moved, and had their being in the pagan culture of the Roman Empire. They lived for God in a heathen society.
kjv@Colossians:4:7-8 — Tychicus was evidently the pastor of the church in Ephesus kjv@Ephesians:6:21; kjv@Acts:20:4; kjv@2Timothy:4:12).
kjv@Colossians:4:9 — Onesimus was a slave of Philemon in Colosse. He had run away to Rome. Paul led him to Christ and had returned him to Philemon as a brother (see Epistle to Philemon).
kjv@Colossians:4:10 — Aristarchus kjv@Acts:19:29) was a friend of Paul. Mark kjv@Acts:15:37) made good ( kjv@2Timothy:4:11).
kjv@Colossians:4:12-13 — Epaphras was the minister at Colosse, but at this time was in prison. He had now a ministry of prayer.
kjv@Colossians:4:14 — Luke was the beloved physician.
kjv@Colossians:4:15-18 — Personal greetings and injunctions.
kjv@Colossians:4:18 — "Remember my bonds" was evidently the motto of many believers who began to witness after Paul was imprisoned.

The Annual Community Satisfaction Survey for Local Government is undertaken to measure how Victorian residents rate the performance of their local governments. Mount Alexander Shire has been a consistent participant in the survey.
The survey provides a consistent format for assessing Council's performance across a number of key service areas. The survey provides feedback to both State Government and to the participating local governments on how the delivery of services and the key function of local government are perceived by its community.

In my body of work, I have used a minimalist approach and the elimination of subjectivity to reflect the idea that the process through which an artwork is made is just as crucial to its success as the finished artwork. For me, it is during the process that creativity comes to the surface. In order to emphasise this, I have left a major part of my material practice up to chance as the patterns seen in the finished work were not predicted or planned – they are a product of my process.

When The City That Never Sleeps Refuses To Sleep
Despite the power outage in lower Manhattan, businesses have been running as best they can to serve the neighbors who need them. Even when power returns, things won't get back to normal for weeks.
Power is finally, gradually being restored to lower Manhattan Friday evening, where it's been out since Hurricane Sandy tore through the east coast Monday night. But though lights come back to life in an instant, many businesses in the area won't. Owners and managers of bars, restaurants, and stores lucky enough to have sustained minimal damage in the storm are letting the financial reality of lost inventory and customers sink in as they ready to open as quickly as possible once power returns.
A few businesses remained open this afternoon. At 21 Park Place, Jamie Lipman Abish had set up a "sidewalk sale" outside of her store, Tent & Trails, which sells camping and climbing supplies. Most who have been coming by have been picking up flashlights, headlamps, and batteries — supplies that are hard to find anywhere downtown — which were arranged on a table in front of the store.
Abish estimated she'd had about 50 customers on Friday. "I'd say I've sold around 25 headlamps or flashlights — but mostly headlamps. It's an unusual amount," she told BuzzFeed. "Storms always bring out people for headlamps — they suddenly get prepared. But we've been giving them an easy check list for the next time," she added, pointing to a bright orange flyer with a list of emergency essentials (it included things like biodegradable soap, a quick drying towel, and folding saw, not all of which were included in the sidewalk offerings).
If things were normal, "I'd be doing ten times the business," Abish said. "But at least people know I'm still here. People know that I haven't been put out of business by the power outage." She can only accept cash, though she made an exception when a customer wanted to barter with donuts and hot coffee.
Abish was surrounded by a handful of staff members, some of whom have been working for her for more than 25 years. She said she would have paid them whether or not the store managed to open at all during the power outage. It was "the only thing to do," she said. "It's ethical. It's not their fault. I might get paid by a grant but six months down the line — I'm going to wait that long? They have families. They've got rents to pay."
Around the corner on Murray Street, Takahachi Bakery was closed and darkened, but manager Kimie Kobayashi had set up a cart outside to sell cookies and coffee to passersby (she's been getting around 25 customers a day). Inside, the shelves and cases where cakes and other food normally sit were almost completely bare. Kobayashi decided on Tuesday to open for a few hours on Wednesday, and then to do the same Thursday and Friday. She wasn't sure how much food was lost in the power outage, but estimated more than half. "I don't even want to ask my boss. It was a lot," she said. But she's been able to sell cookies and other things that had been in the freezer, along with a rare and much sought-after commodity: hot coffee.
"First I didn't sell coffee. So many people asked, so I said, okay," she said. She managed to make coffee with espresso and had a gas stove with which to heat water.
The past week has been hectic for Kobayashi. Every morning she bikes from her East Village apartment to a hotel in midtown where she can charge her phone and laptop and talk to her boss, the owner of the bakery who lives in New Jersey. Then she goes to the bakery for the day, before returning to the hotel to charge up again. "Then I go home in the dark."
She didn't think the bakery would be up and running as normal for about two weeks, once power was restored, since cakes and other items take time to make. And some menu items made with ingredients shipped from Japan via a distributor in New Jersey. "We have to give up some of the menu which is okay, it's not the end of the world," she said. "I have one customer who lives just around the corner and they have a market in the seaport — gone." (The seaport farther south in Manhattan was subject to some of the island's most severe flooding.)
Down Murray Street, the Dark Horse bar was open, powered by a generator. Its owner, Gavin Doherty, had spent the past three mornings at Home Depot in Queens, trying to purchase one. "There were so many people there looking for generators," he said. "Yesterday morning I managed to get one at 6 o'clock. So I came in, got everything set up." But even so, "We're far from normal."
Doherty had to throw out a lot of food, which was a painful waste as well as a considerable financial loss. In addition to the lost food and generator, he had to worry about fuel costs — and finding gas. "I spent about three hours in Queens looking for gas yesterday," he said "I could only get one gas container as well because they're in high demand." A cab driver tipped him off to gas at 44th Street and 10th Avenue, where he fueled up after an hour wait. But it "only lasts for so long" so he had to head back out to Long Island to refuel. "We were driving around the town and saw a big [line] and said this has to be for gas." It was — the wait there was three hours.
Doherty didn't have to go to all this trouble to reopen. He said he's "definitely losing money." But he knew he had to get the generator to open the bar instead of waiting for power to return because friends in the neighborhood kept texting and calling to ask if he was up and running. "They said there's nothing down here, we're sitting down here, when are you going to be open? I said I've got no power, but that's what made me go looking for a generator," Doherty explained. "Basically we wanted to give a few people some food."
He's seen the neighborhood clear out over the past two days, as residents tired of not having power, in many cases running water, or anything to do. But he wanted to be there, open and feeding people who couldn't leave the neighborhood. "You see this couple down here, they didn't have any friends or anywhere to go, so they had to stay. They had no choice," he said. "Regulars become friends when you see them a few times a week. We have a lot of friends in the neighborhood."

I'm not that gal that goes for fads. There are some things in life that I might be tempted to try, just because the allure is too great to resist, but there's not much out there that fascinates me to that point.
I don't dress according to trends. That's why you'll never be able to go into my closet and find something that's current. An example are capes. I fell in love with capes about five years ago, when no one was wearing them. My friends thought I had lost my mind as my cape collection expanded beyond even their grasp. Now it seems everyone is spinning a cape in the air and letting it fall gracefully around their shoulders, and I am kind of feeling "meh" about them.
Fad diets and fad diet products are another mystery to me. The famous Cabbage Soup Diet, or Eat Only Mangoes, or eliminating foods from your diet that are actually good for you to be eating. These kinds of diets play havoc with your internal clocks and gears and send your metabolism into shock.
I know some folks that try everything out there that comes up, but I tend to stick with just one thing and either stay with it as a life change, or beat it into the ground until I decide it doesn't work and probably never did. There are some diets that are life changers and those I can get on board with. Ideas like the Ketogenic Diet or the Paleo Diet are great, if you commit 100%. The problem is that many folks just won't make that kind of a commitment, even when their life depends on it.
Currently I do not take or use any diet products.
I have a good friend that found out her health would not allow her to lose weight the regular way, so she had surgery. That's a life change and it's also someone that did the work before diving into the pool. Every move she made was under a doctor's care. These folks out there with their shakes and their supplements can't make that claim. In fact, they say the opposite; "This product may not have approval from the FDA". I don't think the FDA is the goddess of all things edible, but it's a nice place to start.
I am happy to watch my friends that are at least making the attempts to try new stuff and change their lot in life for the better. They do all the work and I can see if what they're doing is producing results, or not. Then I can base my decision on their success or failure. Like I stated above; currently I do not take or use any diet products.
I have watched this one friend go from trying a new diet product, to falling in love with it and joining the pyramid selling scams that seem to be attached to most of these items. Then every friend becomes a customer with a weight issue and her Facebook profile becomes one long boring sales pitch; "Let me send you some samples!" When the latest fad diet product company went bankrupt, because most of them eventually do go belly up, or she ran out of friends that weren't listening to her spiel anymore, she moved to the next new thing. There was never an explanation about why the product that was changing her life, had also just changed names.
I'm no expert, but one thing I do know for a fact is that diet pills and shakes are not loaded with magical fairy dust. You're going to need to do some jumping jacks. In the end, the jumping jacks are going to be the reason you lose any weight.
My sister in law and I decided one year to try one of those places that mail you meals for the week. We heard this one meal plan was having terrific results and it sounded perfect! Every week I would get this huge cooler stuffed with dry ice and plastic packaged meals from breakfast to dinner. I could add salads and suggested snacks on my own, and I most certainly did that. The food was pretty good and I followed the rules for what to eat on which day, to the letter, but I never lost any weight.
Not wanting to be the one that was the spoilsport by quitting first, I asked her how she was doing with the meal plans. She told me she had quit a long time ago because when her meals would arrive she would spend the first two days eating everything in there that she liked and just trash the rest. I had never thought of doing that.
I truly hate to be the one to burst your bubbles out there, people, but these kinds of diet plans, supplements and shakes and pills are never going to work. There is no magic pill you can take. They either won't work, or they rot your liver. If there was one, everyone would be taking it and everyone would be skinny.
If you must spend your money on something, then consider these options. These suggestions allow you to be in control of your destiny and they are plans that treat you like an adult that can make adult decisions and be held accountable. You pick and prepare your own food, you take recommended, FDA approved, vitamins and you mingle with other adults doing the same thing.
- Join Weight Watchers. It truly is a great life changing plan.
- Join a gym, the YMCA, a dance class, a boxing class or an exercise bootcamp.
- Buy a yoga mat and learn yoga.
- Buy some cute compression workout gear.
- Leg and ankle weights make a huge difference in the validity of that walk around the block you're taking.
- Buy healthy fruits and vegetables. Spend those extra dollars on the good oils and quality kitchen equipment, like a blender or a juicer.
- Subscribe to a healthy cooking magazine. I subscribe to Cooking Light and find that I can plan a few week's worth of good meals from one issue.
You don't need a magic pill or a mystery shake with an unknown sea creature's adrenal glands to make you skinny. All you need is a good attitude and the will to do the work, but most important, you need to love yourself enough to know you deserve to be whatever you dream of being.

Family of mauled pet awaits decision by San Joaquin authorities
Dog nearly died after vicious attack by neighbor's bulldogs
A Stockton family is awaiting a decision from San Joaquin County Animal Control, hoping that its neighbor's two purebred English Bulldogs are ordered to be euthanized.
The Hammond family said that action is justified after the bulldogs viciously attacked and nearly killed its dog, Samantha, in the family's backyard on Oro Avenue last Tuesday.
Samantha, a greyhound-pit bull mix, is recovering on a blanket in the Hammonds' front room.
Her ears are completely gone and her body is filled with staples and stitches.
Security video of the backyard, shown to KCRA 3, shows two bulldogs pushing through a fence just before the dogs launch a relentless attack against the female dog.
Douglas Hammond, 19, ran into the backyard with a large plastic pipe, repeatedly striking the bulldogs in an effort to stop the attack.
"That's when I started to call the cops, because they didn't care that I was even around," Hammond said. "They didn't want to stop."
Hammond said the attack lasted 45 minutes before sheriff's deputies, using night sticks, finally clubbed the bulldogs -- causing them to stop biting Samantha.
"Halfway through, I thought she was dead," he said.
Officers allowed the owner to return the bulldogs to the neighboring yard, and contacted animal control to investigate.
The head of San Joaquin Animal Control did not return calls to KCRA 3.
However, through a sheriff's spokesman, the county office said a decision has not yet been made whether the owner of the bulldogs will face any citations or an order to destroy the animals.
The Hammonds want action.
"If the dogs are put down, I'll be at ease," pet owner Marian Hammond said. "Take care of the dogs that obviously have an aggression problem."
Said Douglas Hammond: "It's not just for my family now, it's the community. You shouldn't have two monsters trying to kill dogs for no reason."
Officials said the neighbor has offered to pay for the veterinarian bills for Samantha, and relocate the dogs, but not to euthanize them.
They also noted that the bulldogs did not attack people during the event last week.

As a zooarchaeologist at the Virginia Museum of Natural History, I usually spend quite a bit of time in my lab identifying, or trying to identify, many pieces of bone, antler, and shell, mostly from Native American sites in the North American Middle Atlantic states. The lab is also usually bustling with volunteers washing, sorting, and labeling samples. Today though, the lab is unusually quiet (hopefully there's a photo below). I am out of town doing some background research for a new project, the fauna from the Barton site – a multicomponent Native American village site in western Maryland. This week I was working at the library at the Maryland Historical Trust. The Trust library houses the site files, reports, and publications dealing with Maryland archaeology and historical resources. I now have a much longer reading list to work through over the next couple of months!
I decided to take a break from library work and the 100 degree heat and took a diversionary trip to The Walters Art Museum (thewalters.org) in Baltimore to see their temporary exhibit on writing implements. I saw an object new to me – an 18th century small ivory writing tablet. The tablets in the exhibit were small (approximately 1 in wide and 2 inches long) and were stored in small metal cases. The user would write a note on the tablet and then they could wipe the note off of the smooth ivory surface and write a new note when needed. The first write-on-wipe-off board! And one more use for ivory to consider if I see flat ivory pieces in a historic site assemblage. Even on a gallery visit where I didn't plan on seeing anything work related there was still something to keep in mind for future analyses. That's one of the great things about archaeology; there's always something new to learn and almost everywhere you go there is something relevant to what we do.

NORTHWOOD — The town will hold its annual deliberative session Saturday on the proposed warrant articles and budget proposed for next year.
The hearing is at 9 a.m. in the Coe-Brown Northwood Academy auditorium.
The proposed operating budget for next year is $3,303,012, which is less than the default budget. According to Town Administrator Brent Lemire, the proposed budget would be a .08 percent increase over the current year's budget. The operating budget includes increases in contractual agreements, as well as increased costs for utilities, fuel, propane. The budget also includes higher cost of insurance for town employees, and step increases in wages for those employees. With the proposed budget, there would be no cost of living adjustments for town staff.
A petition warrant article will also ask residents to change the deputy town clerk/tax collector position from being a part-time position working 30 hours per week to being a full-time position with 35 hours per week. The associated cost is $15,681. Neither the Selectmen nor the Budget Committee recommend this article pass.
The Fire Department seeks to replace its ambulance. Voters will be asked to appropriate $227,572 for a replacement. The warrant article will have no impact on the tax rate if approved, as the funds would be taken from the revenue collected from fees for service of the ambulance. The existing ambulance, which is about six years old, has required increasing amounts of repairs over the past two years, testing its reliability, according to town officials.
Town residents will also be asked to authorize the last of five annual payments for leasing a town's fire engine, at the cost of $60,109. The funds would be taken from the special revenue fund for Fire and Rescue Department vehicle replacement, and the warrant article would have no tax impact if approved.
Two separate warrant articles also propose the town treasurer and road agent be appointed by selectmen, rather than having those positions be elected by town residents.
Warrant Article 2 proposes that a bond be taken out for $750,000, for design and construction of road improvements in town. To allow for more roads to be repaired at little or no cost to taxpayers, the selectmen are proposing the "pay-as-you-go financing" for the road improvements, through the highway block grant the town receives each year. Warrant Article 4 seeks to place all the annual highway block grant funds into a special revenue fund, which will require that the grant funds are only used to pay off the bond for the road improvements. Currently, the block grant funds go into the town's general fund.
If warrant article 2 does not get approved, warrant article 4 will become null and void.


text: I just watched this movie streaming on Netflix and I have to say I thought it was great. It's about an author who struggles to make it through his life with the help of a teenage girl and an imaginary super hero. It has Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone and Lisa Kudrow. If you get a chance, I strongly recommend watching this movie. Definitely one of the better quirky, independent mind-warp movies I've seen.

The cornerback formerly known as Nigel Patten who now goes by Nigel Bethel committed to the University of Miami on Friday, setting off a celebration in the coaches office in Coral Gables.
The Miami Booker T. Washington cornerback, who worked out at FSU's Jimbo Fisher Football Camp on Thursday in Tallahassee, decided during his way back to Miami that home was where his heart was and his group stopped at a rest area in order for him to make the call.
"I decided on the way home," the 5-foot-9, 175-pound Bethel said. "I just felt like Miami was the right place for me and my family. I want to eat in my hometown and bring back a national championship to Miami.
"I just made my decision from visiting other schools."
Bethel, who is the No. 27-ranked player in the Sentinel's 2014 Florida Top 100, visited FSU and Alabama this summer, and with both schools needing to show him something better than what the hometown Hurricanes had to offer. Neither was able to do that.
He talked on Thursday after the FSU camp about how the Seminoles could be laying groundwork for a BTW pipeline to Tallahassee with 2013 linebacker Matthew Thomas now a freshman and 2014 quarterback Treon Harris having committed to FSU earlier this month.
"They were the first team to offer me," Bethel said of the Seminoles on Thursday, "so I'm always having FSU in my pocket with me. You could say it could be making for a little BTW pipeline."
But by Friday he was over the feeling and back with his hometown team.
"They have been my dream school and I've always looked up to guys like Brandon Harris," Bethel said. "So now I'm looking to hopefully follow in the footsteps of Brandon Harris."
Harris is a former BTW corner who played three seasons at Miami before moving on the NFL. He enters his third season with the Houston Texans, who drafted him in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft.
Bethel said Coach Golden was "pumped up," upon learning of his decision.
"Coach Golden was very excited. He couldnt' beieve it. I guess he thought I was going to commit somewhere else," Bethel said. "He told me I made the best decision of my life and that he's going to teach me how to be a great young man and he's going to show me how to play the nickel [defense] and how be be a very versatile player."
Now Bethel will turn his attention to other side of the recruiting process, and his focus will be on teammate Chad Thomas, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound defensive end who was also getting some royal treatment from FSU head coach Fisher and the rest of the staff in Tallahassee on Thursday.
"Oh yeah, I'm going to try to get Chad Thomas to come, and once he commits to Miami … it's a wrap," Bethel said.
Of the 21 Miami commitments to the 2014 recruiting class, Bethel is the second BTW recruit, so far, joining DE Dememtrius Jackson (6-4, 230).
As a junior last season, Bethel had five interceptions in limited time since Booker T., the 4A state champion, usually was on the winning end of numerous lop-sided margins.
"I probably played two full games out of the whole season," he said.
Bethel decided to change his name from Patten when he turned 18 in April and could legally make the change.
"I went by Patten, which was my mom's name, but she got remarried and she no longer has that name, so I changed my name to Bethel," he said. "Nigel Bethel is my father's name and he wanted me to have his name."

Christmas — the Ozzie Guillen way
Merry Christmas, everybody! Hope you all had a great weekend. My time down here in Venezuela with my family has been great. Always fun to spend time relaxing and having fun with family. I also got some great news regarding some things I am planning for 2011. Hopefully I can share this exciting stuff with you guys soon.
Thank you all for reading my blog and submitting your questions. Got some good ones this week …
Q: At times, you have been criticized for not directing your pitchers to throw at batters in retaliation for them throwing at White Sox hitters. Your thoughts on this.
A: First of all, I am not a headhunter. When I was playing, I used to tell pitchers what to do and who to hit because I was in the lineup and pitchers could hit me. As a manager, I don't like telling pitchers who to hit because I'm not in the lineup, and I don't want any of my players to get hurt because of me. The players should police themselves and take care of that like they used to. Players always took care of that stuff. They shouldn't need anyone telling them what to do.
Q: Ozzie, what did you get your wife for Christmas?
A: I got her a purse because I know how much women love purses. To me, presents don't really matter. And to my family, it's more about all of us being together. That just doesn't apply to Christmas, either. That's what we enjoy every day. I want my family to be tight, so our main joy comes from seeing the kids together on Christmas.
Q: What is the typical Christmas like in the Guillen house?
A: We have dinner and a nice get-together. We hang out, drink and dance. We don't get to the whole presents thing until way later. To us, it's a bigger deal on New Years because we have a lot more traditions that we do then. Christmas is more a time to relax and party.
Q: What is the best Christmas gift someone has ever given you?
A: To me, the best Christmas gift I can ever get is that all my kids are with my wife and I. We are still together, and that's all I can ask for. Every material gift has a different meaning, and they are all special. But I do enjoy scarves for the cold Chicago winters.
Q: What do you eat for Christmas dinner?
A: Hallacas, pork, turkey, "pan de jamon" — which is bread with ham and some special stuffing — and chicken salad with carrots and potatoes. Oh yeah, and lots of Polar beer.
Once again, I want to say best wishes to all you guys, from my family to yours. I can't wait for 2011 because 2010 was very frustrating to me. I even got some grey hair over it, and I can't have that! (haha) I'm not Richard Gere! And just remember, if you want your dreams to come true, you have to wake up and go get them!
Happy New Year!
— Ozzie

Ingles es mi idioma primera y quiero mejorar mi español. ¿Cómo lo hago? ¿Y cual país se hablan el mejor español? ¿Quien es el mejor hispanohablante en las Medias Blancas?
Hey Ozzie, I'm curious, what do you think of Bobby Jenks' comments that you don't trust your relievers and that you don't know how to run a bullpen? The way I see it, you gave Jenks many opportunities last season, probably many more than any of us fans would have.
Ozzie, what do you think about your son spilling confidential information about White Sox business? Isnt it crossing a line for him to spill information about Bobby Jenks personal matters? Doesn't that reflect poorly on you?
@cubsnofun… who are you to say what is and what isn't confidential?? And secondly, who the hell are you to infer what does and doesn't reflect poorly on Ozzie?? Why would you think Ozzie even cares?? Looks like he has done pretty good for himself so far without your advice, but I'm sure he greatly appreciates it hahaha
Thanks for answering my question on Uribe!
Do you celebrate the day of the Three Wise Men in Venezuela? Is there a special treat on that day like the Rosca de Reyes?
How is the sharing a Spring Training facility with the Dodgers going?

Canada's men's U-17 team has opened the six-team 2012 AGS Cup in Spain with a 2-2 draw against Azerbaijan. Saturday's match was Canada's first of five round-robin matches over the next eight days. Jordan Hamilton and Whitecaps FC U-16 Residency midfielder Kianz Froese scored for Canada before Cem Fələk countered twice for Azerbaijan.
"It was a good performance, although the result didn't quite reflect the performance," said Canadian U-17 head coach Sean Fleming. "When you don't take your chances, it comes back to haunt you."
Fleming said Canada failed to score on four breakaway chances while it also conceded two "soft" goals. Hamilton scored in the first half before Canada's player of the match Froese scored early in the second half. Fələk, an offensive star of the Azerbaijan team, scored in the 50th and 65th minutes of the 80-minute match.
After arriving in Spain, Canada had one training session before the September 29 match against Azerbaijan. Canada will play again on September 30 before future matches are played every second day on 2, 4 and 6 October. Along with Canada and Azerbaijan, teams in the 2012 AGS Cup are Morocco, Mexico, UAE and USA.
"The boys have come into camp with a great attitude," said Fleming. "They have been able to gel well after such a short time together."
This marks Fleming's second 2012 project with the 1996-born players. The team is in its early preparations for the 12-team 2013 CONCACAF Men's Under-17 Championship, which runs April 6 to 19 in Ciudad Panama. Only four teams from CONCACAF will qualify for the FIFA U-17 World Cup UAE 2013, which runs October 17 to November 8.

Proposed tip Please edit this page to improve it, or add your comments below (do not use the discussion page).
Sometimes I need to enter manually many lines with identical structure and a few differing data fields. Here is what I mean.
{name:"apple", price:50, leftover:1}, {name:"pear", price:10, leftover:0}, {name:"plum", price:11, leftover:0}, {name:"none", price:0, leftover:10000},
Method of choice for dealing with this was copying sample line several times and then modifying variable fields by navigating to them with cursor keys or mouse, which feels like it takes surprisingly lot of time and effort. I found a better way,
First, put the line
{name:"#", price:#, leftover:#},
in the
t register (
# is a marker location for data fields. Any other unused symbol can be used instead. Then make the following mappings:
:imap <Tab> <C-O>f#s :imap <Enter> <C-O>"tpf#s
To start entry, type
O and then enter. This will create the template line and put cursor on first data field in insert mode. Enter data and without leaving insert mode hit tab. This will bring cursor to the next field. When all fields are done, without leaving insert mode hit enter. This will create new template line. Continue entry.
Do not forget
:iunmap <enter>
when you are done. You may also want to unmap Tab, but I never use it anyway.
Comments[edit | edit source]
One can also use the normal o operator to input several lines of the same shape. For example to put 15 lines:
{name:"#", price:#, leftover:#},
15o in normal mode, type the above line and press Esc. You can then record what you have types for later usage with
let @t=@., this will copy the
". register to the named register

De Niro, Streep to reunite for 'The Good House'
More than a dozen years after their last film together, Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep will reunite on screen for an adaption of Ann Leary's darkly comic small town New England tale, "The Good House."
De Niro and Streep memorably starred together in 1978's "The Deer Hunter," as well as 1984's "Falling in Love" and 1996's "Marvin's Room."
FilmNation Entertainment announced Tuesday that it acquired the rights for "The Good House" from Jane Rosenthal, De Niro's producing partner. She will produce the film for Tribeca Productions along with FilmNation's Aaron Ryder and Karen Lunder.
Writing the script will be Michael Cunningham, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "The Hours."
It will be the fourth film together for the 69-year-old De Niro and the 64-year-old Streep.

text: Hi All, I am relatively new to the world of webservers and java, so please pardon me for any mistakes i make in conveying my problem. THe problem is as following: we have a sunone webserver 1(abc.com), and a sun one webserver2(def.com). There is a jsp application in webserver 1. A button in the application in abc.com redirects the user to def.com(response.redirect("def.com")) . When the user clicks the button, this redirect information reaches the browser and the browser then sends the user to def.com. When the request hits def.com an LDAP authentication mechanism is activated. Since LDAP finds no authorization information the LDAP sends a response back to the browser, The browser inturn pop's up a authentication box. Please note that it is Basic authentication, base 64 encoded user pass. My question is can i include this base 64 encoding("Basic user:pass") in the redirect i am doing from abc.com such that it travels with the new request to def.com and thus the login happens in LDAP and no popup box is shown to the user? If it is how is this possible? Thanks in advance.

What is dextrose? Is it the same as glucose? What is it used for in baking? How is it different from regular sugar? How do I substitute dextrose for sugar in a recipe? Is glucose syrup the same as corn syrup? Where do I buy glucose / dextrose? This is your ultimate post on glucose / dextrose, read on to find out the answers to your questions 🙂
What is dextrose (glucose)?
Dextrose is a form of glucose. Dextrose = D-glucose, hence, the terms dextrose and glucose are used interchangeably. It's also sometimes called corn sugar, grape sugar, crystaline glucose, wheat sugar, rice sugar or rice syrup.
The full name is dextrose monohydrate and it is a simple sugar generated from the hydrolysis of starch, most commonly corn. The corn starch is treated with naturally occurring enzymes (they same as in our mouths) or acid. There is no way around the fact that this is a processed product, but at least it simulates natural occurrences (when we eat starch, it's hydrolyzed by enzymes and broken down further by stomach acids to for example dextrose).
Wait, hang on – I thought this was a sugar-free blog?
I'm glad you asked. There are so many people, blogs, sites and books out there now with a "sugar-free" label. Despite that label, you may often find the following sugars in the recipes: Agave nectar, honey, brown rice syrup, glucose syrup, dextrose powder. Read about agave nectar here (to be honest, I fail to see this product as being healthy for anyone) and read about honey here (depends if you are overweight, diabetic or neither, but generally avoid it).
When it comes to brown rice syrup (also known as rice malt syrup or rice syrup), glucose syrup (also know as liquid glucose) and dextrose powder, these are all broken down to 100% glucose in our bodies. Glucose can processed by every cell in our body and is the brains main source of energy. So, not all sugar is 'evil', we do need some (our brains main source of energy is glucose). You just need to withdraw from your fructose addiction first before starting to swap to glucose. And even then, everything in moderation! Glucose does raise your blood sugar (blood sugar = glucose). The good part is that you will stop craving sugary things and your body will actually be able to tell you when you are hungry for real and how much you should eat. Your body has a well functioning appetite control. Unfortunately it gets over-ridden by our fructose addiction. Check out this great video from Dr. Robert Lustig which explains all the differences:
So, the main bulk of my family's diet consist of healthy, unprocessed, home-made foods and I only sweeten with fruit such as banana and unsweetened apple sauce. However, when I would like a special treat or have friends coming over, and want to make cakes or muffins, or for physical activity, I do use dextrose (glucose). I am also currently finding out more about and experimenting with the natural (non-blood-sugar-raising) Stevia, Erythritol and Zylitol.
Generally glucose for baking and cooking uses comes in two forms: Powder and syrup. The powder looks a lot like icing (powdered) sugar but is not quite a fine and it is only 50-75% as sweet as regular sugar. By regular sugar, I mean caster sugar (or brown sugar or raw sugar) = sucrose. These are all made up of glucose and fructose (usually in a 1:1 ratio).
Glucose (powder):
So far (I will keep updating this post when I learn new things), I have found the following (as per David Gillespie's Sweet Poison): You can substitute sugar straight over for glucose but you need to increase the wet ingredients or decrease the dry ingredients as glucose absorbs more liquids that regular sugar. Furthermore, it seems that if you cook with glucose and it's not covered (e.g. as in my granola) you need to reduce the temperature to around 160C (320F) as it will otherwise get a burned taste, however, if the glucose is mixed into for example cake mix, I have had no problems or burnt taste from keeping the temperature at 175C (350F). In pretty much ever other regard when it comes to baking, it acts exactly like regular sugar.
Glucose syrup / liquid glucose:
From my experiments I have so far found that you can swap this for honey in any recipe where the honey is used to make the end product sweeter (obviously honey has a distinct flavour which you don't get from the syrup). Liquid glucose tastes sweet, but not as much as honey, however, it certainly is as thick and sticky!!!!
In contrast to glucose powder which absorbs moisture (and therefore needing extra liquids added to a recipe), glucose syrup keeps the baking moist and soft (and keeps it from going hard) as long as you don't use too much, then it goes sticky. It is also often used in icing and ice cream to keep it from going too hard and give it that smooth texture.
NOTE: Glucose syrup is commonly derived from corn or wheat but can also be made from potatoes, rice and cassava. If you have a gluten intolerance or allergy you can safely eat glucose syrup (see more here).
What's the deal with corn syrup? Is it the same as glucose syrup / liquid glucose?
Yes and no. Well that was helpful right? The thing is, it depends on who defines it, the retailer and the country. In the US, glucose syrup is often called corn syrup because, in the States, it's most frequently produced from corn. Makes sense, right? So, glucose syrup can be corn syrup but corn syrup isn't necessarily glucose syrup. The difference is that corn syrup often has fructose added and the water content is slightly higher. So, if a recipe calls for corn syrup and you can't get a hold of it, because it's too expensive where you live or because you are avoiding fructose like me, just use glucose syrup instead and add a little extra water to the recipe (like a teaspoon or two).
In conclusion:
I find it easiest to remember that glucose swaps for regular sugar and glucose syrup swaps for honey. However, keep in mind that glucose is less sweet. I have tried quite a few recipes doing this straight swap and 'sugarholics' liked them all the same. Myself, now that is a different matter. I actually don't feel much like sweet things (wow, it feels nice to be able to say this), so when I fancy an occasional treat, I will make a recipe with only 1/4 of the sugar that you would put in a traditional recipe. I now find the amount I used to crave sickly sweet.
Most of the recipes I have on my blog are a happy medium – sweet enough to bring along to visit friends (who will like it) and not too sweet for myself 🙂 So, if you are a fellow ex-sugarholic, you may be happy with the recipes as they are or possible cut down on the glucose (don't forget to leave out a bit of liquids if using the powder version). In the opposite end, you could be a massive sugar fan and want to add in more (and then needing to add some liquid ingredients if using the powder version).
Where can I buy dextrose / glucose?
Where you can buy dextrose depends on which country you live in, but in most places you may find it at super markets, speciality stores and home brew shops (it's used in beer and cider brewing too).
New Zealand: The powder in the top main photo I got from my local bulk shop in Auckland (Bulk Food Savings, by far the cheapest I have found at NZ $3.50 per kilo – it's at 217 Dominion Rd but you access it from Walters Road where the Wendy's car park is). You can also find it in home-brew shops and sections, but mainly I have seen it in the local supermarkets in smaller containers (Examples above: King Glucose – NZ$8.73 per kilo and Queen Glucose syrup – NZ$4.80 per 500 gram tub at New World). **prices updated March 20th 2015**
USA: If you have a home brew shop near you, this is probably always the cheapest option to buy dextrose powder, if not, this is the best deal I've found if you just want to get it shipped to your house via Amazon: Dextrose Corn Sugar 21 oz (600 gm)* (US$5.84 including shipping – US$2.4 per pound) or if you want a larger amount and cheaper by the pound: Corn Sugar 4lb* (US$14.61 including shipping – US$3.7 per pound). If you need glucose syrup (liquid glucose) please be aware that this is a minefield if you care about fructose content – on the description it sometimes says glucose and then it arrives and it's really corn syrup (with fructose in)). I would suggest this one: Caullet Glucose Syrup – 2.2 lb* (prices updated March 20th 2015)
UK: Coming soon!
Australia: Coming soon!
Need some recipes using dextrose / glucose?
I can recommend trying the recipes in the book Sweet Poison Quit Plan by David Gillespie – I have been using some of his tips and tried a few recipes. The only thing is that, for me, the recipes take some adaptation to be gluten and dairy free too (but hey-ho, I'm practically an expert in that now).
You can of course check out my recipes too (and to see more posts like this, follow my blog by email, see top right, or like it on Facebook or Twitter). Here are some recipes (using glucose) from my blog (click on the pictures to see the recipes/blog post):

I only recommend products that I think is a good deal (because, why would anyone want to pay more than you have to if it's the same product and quality, I have a family to feed too and always trying to save money) and are the soundest choices I have found (no dubious, unhealthy product for me thanks!). If you do decide to buy via these links you will support this page and help me keep going and bringing new great articles and recipes to you 🙂
