I need your creative ideas for hot dogs!

- Lady_Tenar Mar 20, 2012 08:46 PM
As a general rule, I'm not that into hot dogs. However, for some reason, my heart skips a beat for my hometown's local brand (Sahlen's--I'm a native Buffalonian) and I eat them in profusion every time I visit my parents. Every time I leave, my mom sends me home with a package of them. Thing is, they're much better on the grill (which I do not have regular access too) than they are just fried in a pan so, as a result, I have quite a few hot dogs building up in my freezer and I'm trying to find ways to use them up. Tonight I made a mean hot dog fried rice (and I could definitely see myself making it again) but I've still got a lot more hot dogs than ideas! Help me out, chowhounds!
Filipino-style Hot Dog Spaghetti. Jollibee is a fast food chain of Filipino foods.
re: letsindulge
My version of hot dog spaghetti (pre-sauce). Pasta and hotdogs (in this case, mini chicken sausages cut in half) are cooked together, then topped with your homemade or favorite jarred sauce.
re: RandomCookingDisordr
That's neato. Bet the kids love it. :)
re: letsindulge
LOL. I was just watching Big Bang Theory yesterday and they had a whole episode dedicated to Spaghetti with hot dogs. According to Sheldon's mom, its a real I-talian treat.
Love a hot dog taco with leafy sprouts. Either flour or corn tortillas. Even better with June Meyer's Hungarian cucumber relish atop:
Make a great split pea or lentil soup and slice one of the little devils (hot) into each serving. Slice them thinly and use them as a layer in a potato/cabbage or noodle/cabbage casserole. Do you like corndogs? You could easily make those. Grind them and combine w/ minced water chestnuts, diced celery, minced ginger, a dash of soy, maybe a spot of mirin, and some finely-shredded cabbage, and use as a filling for wontons, either fried or in soup, or potstickers.
re: mamachef
Ooh, I like the potstickers idea! The cabbage and noodles would be really good too--and they're German-style hotdogs, so even better.
Next time you have guests over, slice them into quarters and wrap each in a piece of puff pastry painted with a little grainy mustard for "high-end" pigs in a blanket. Serve with a favorite dipping sauce.
re: Lady_Tenar
Funny you should mention high school because hot dog chip & dip was a big hit in our house while the children were growing up. They put those suckers on skewers along with pickles slices and did homework with friends over batches for years. It's definately a lovable "dirty, trashy" recipe but my kids and their comrades loved it. We always used Hebrew National hot dogs, spicy mustard, garlic pickle chips and the boxed onion dip mix.
Homework got knocked out quick but those kids reeked of flavors!
Brown them under a broiler in your oven until they're brown and they pop open, then wrap them in flour tortillas and fry the tortilla until it's golden brown. Brush on some mustard and wash it down with a beer.
This is the works! Otherwise - slice them up thin and saute them before your sauce for spaghetti.
Layer Fritos, hot chili, sliced cooked hot dogs, shredded cheese, chopped onion and a liberal drizzle of yellow mustard in a large bowl or on a plate (sliced pickled jalapenos or diced fresh optional). Stab interlopers with your fork.
Corn dogs (http://www.chow.com/food-news/86856/m...)
Here are a couple of riffs on hotdog I borrowed from various food tv shows:
1) a Thai slawdog, the slaw made with red cabbage, onion, mint, cilantro, fresh hot chilies and dressed with a fish sauce dressing including lime, sugar, garlic, and oil
2) a wannabe Japadog with mayo, a green cabbage & onion slaw dressed with sushi ginger and sushi ginger brine, soy sauce, oil, and green onions, and topped with sriracha and furikake
I also threw some cubed hotdog into chili a few months ago, and the family loved it. :P
re: inaplasticcup
That "Thai slawdog" sounds awesome. I will DEFINITELY make that. Thanks!
re: Lady_Tenar
Sure thang. Enjoy them hotdogs! :)

re: niquejim
Hot dog Monte Christo
So good. Seriously. We used to go to Iron Barley and get steak sandwiches for ourselves and the dog for our favorite three-year-old. Then we would steal bites of his hotdog and he would get so angry with us we had to order a Ballistic Elvis for dessert so he could have some.
re: tonifi
Cute story. It sort of reminds me of the Kraft mac n cheese commercials running lately where the kids keep busting their parents for "stealing" their mac n cheese bowls of orange goodness.
Some interesting recipe ideas on the first couple pages:
re: iL Divo
Sunset has more:
In a wok start with a little oil and cook French fry Size pieces of potato. Add onion and bell peppers. Add hot dogs, quartered lengthwise. Finish by tossing in soy sauce and ketchup...a staple when I was in school.
Also in the 50s we occasionally had them split, stuffed with cheddar, wrapped in bacon, secured with toothpicks, and broiled.
re: Querencia
In the 50's we made Angels on Horseback with hot dogs as a Girl Scout project:
or try this Aloha Dog:
Do you have a "George Foreman" or similar countertop appliance? We have a Hamilton Beech countertop grill right now. These aren't that expensive, and might be a happy medium between the frying pan and an outdoor grill. We use ours all the time- we stayed cool on 4th of July doing our hotdogs on "The George" (even if its one of the competitors). That would put you back into having the option of regular hot dog-with mustard-slaw-chili-whatever on top...
Have a mini county fair in your back yard with these and some grilled corn on the cob.
Sliced hotdogs simmered with canned black beans is a great tasting meal. A scotch bonnet pepper is optional, of course, but greatly encouraged.
as a kid, i had a friend who's younger sister went through a phase where she refused to eat anything unless it had hot dogs in it... don't ask. but i remember her mom making a number of things, most with turkey dogs.
Sloppy Dogs -- sloppy joe's with cut up hot dogs
Chili Dog -- chili with cut up dogs
Tempura Dogs -- hot dog pieces dipped in batter and fried (lighter than corn dogs)
Dog Kebabs - cut and threaded with veggies
Added to soup -- Pea Soup or Navy Bean
Stuffed Peppers
Slice them thinly on the bias, and place them on a paper towel and nuke for about 30 seconds. Wrap in lettuce, a sprig of cilantro, and a couple basil leaves and dip into some nuoc cham. Consume and go to a happy food place.
I do this with leftover sausages, so I'm not sure what it would be like with hot dogs, but it's probably just as delicious. You can also use them in summer rolls.
I am from WV & we have one way to eat hot dogs. Make your own hot dog chili sauce, lots of chopped onions, mayo cole slaw, mustard( never catsup!!). Only way for hot dogs.
Boil them, slice them, and mix them into a prepared box of mac and cheese. Cheap, delicious, and easy quick lunch!
1) With sauerkraut. 2) Wrap each one in a strip of bacon then fry them in a frying pan until the bacon is done.
I have no recipe for fancying up a hot dog, although I like mine with mustard or chili on top. But if you ever have to make a hot dog and only have hamburger buns, you can slit the dog width ways practically through in several places, place on a microwaveable plate, and micro cook. The dog will curl up and be perfect for a hamburger bun or a couple slices of bread.
I'd probably make pigs in blankets, using ye old canned crescent rolls, and cutting the hot dogs in smaller pieces. If you like Bento, you can make hot dog octopi
re: joycebre
Cassoulet of course. LOL
Basically 'wieners and beans (and duck confite) and simmered then sauteed smoked pork jowl cut into 1/2" pieces.

Q&A: I missed my RhoGam shot and have concerns.
I don't remember getting a RhoGam shot after my son was born (he's A+, and I'm B-). I'm now pregnant again and worried that my antibodies may harm my unborn baby.
When two different types of blood mix, as in a delivery, the mother will make antibodies to the baby's blood—seeing it as a foreign invader. Of course, that baby's "outta there," so there's usually no problem. That is, until mom were to get pregnant again. If the developing baby is Rh-positive and mom is Rh-negative as with your previous pregnancy, then mom's antibodies can filter through the placenta and attack the developing baby (if he or she is Rh-positive like the baby before).
To fix this situation, your health care provider will give you a RhoGam, or rho-immunoglobulin shot, after your first delivery. The shot deposits a load of antibodies into the mother, making her body think the whole situation's already covered, so no maternal antibody is manufactured. Fortunately, the RhoGam shot's antibodies are such bulky molecules that they can't filter through to the baby, so mom's body is fooled, and subsequent babies are protected.
As far as whether you received a RhoGam shot—or not—after your first delivery, I would advise you to ask your doctor. Checking on mixed mom/baby blood types and giving a RhoGam shot is a BIG DEAL. It's something your obstetrician knows is vital to ensuring a healthy future pregnancy. In other words, you probably did receive it and just don't remember. During all of the flurry of excitement surrounding the birth of your son, you may not have realized your doctor giving you the shot amongst all the other medications, IVs, and pills that you may have been given.
Now that you're pregnant again, keep in mind that your health care provider does a blood work-up during your initial office visit. That blood work should also include information about whether antibodies are present in your blood. (This blood work will be repeated again at 26-28 weeks.) Talk to your doctor about your concerns, he or she should be able to look at your blood work and clear up any questions that you may be having.

My last post was deleted, so I'm reposting.
I had an ablation, D&C and Polyp removal 3 weeks ago today. I had heavy bleeing with abnormally large clots, 14 day periods and horrible cramping. My OBGYN sent the scraping from my D&C and the polyps to pathology as a precaution, but one of the polyps came back as malignant.
The technical term for my cancer is Uterine Neoplasm Malignant Adenocarcinoma.
They are supposed to be calling me back soon with an appointment to an Oncologist. I'm SO anxious about this appointment. I will have a vaginal hystorectomy in the next couple of months. She talked to the oncologyst about my case and they agreed that they should do the surgery together. After I meet with him he will decide if he thinks I should leave my ovaries or not.
The range of emotions that come along with this diagnosis are just crazy! I'm only 30. I guess that just goes to show that cancer doesn't discriminate. If you guys could spare some positive thoughts and prayers I'd truly appreciate it.

Set the layer fill to 0% and open the Layer Style dialog. In the Outer Glow menu, set the blending mode to Screen, the opacity to 75%, the colour to solid, the technique to Softer, the size to 16 pixels, and the range to 50%. The colour should be #c6faff. Set the Inner Glow palette's settings as shown immediately above, in #fefecc.
Step 13
Create a new layer and use the Matraken Nebula brushes to add some stars and fog around the character and the top. Add the layer styles shown in these screengrabs (drop shadow #ff570d, outer glow #fffecc).
Step 14
Create a new layer and set the blending mode to Color. Add some red and blue around the character's head and the top lightning with a round brush. In a new layer, set the blending mode to Soft Light, and paint a little around the top right corner with black. Create another layer and do the same, this time adding more black around all the corners and some around the character.
Step 15
Create a new layer and fill it with black. Add some noise (Filter > Noise > Add Noise) and set its opacity to 40%, then erase small areas around the character and the top and bottom lightning. Now go to File and save your image as a JPEG document.

The Secret Policeman's (other) Ball scans
From a secondhand bookstore! I don't think these books are terribly hard to come by, they pop up on eBay occasionally...
Not that late: This was hilarious!
There is soooo many things I haven't seen (or read)!
Thanks for posting.
Here Comes Another One: Those liner notes REALLY made me laugh. Though I'm pissed off as well as laughing at the 'history of beekeeping sketch' bit because I wrote something very similar some time ago. Yet again people are stealing my ideas before I've thought of them, damn them. Thanks for posting!
The book was worth getting just for the liner notes; "Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton - Performers of such international repute that John Cleese thought they came from a car hire firm". Too funny about the stolen ideas, the nerve of it! Atkinson's little verbal tics remind me of Marty Feldman on the train, think that was on '1948', too?
Yes, I love that sketch! The first Marty Feldman thing that I remember really cracking me up. He's not my favourite comedian but bits are funny. He's awesome in Yellowbeard, and it's so sad that he died before they finished it.
Was that before you wrote that epic comedy about the guy who's mistaken for the Messiah during the Roman occupation of Judea or after? ;)
The Beekeeping Sketch has been around a lot longer than that. I'm sure I've seen a version in which Mr. Cleese plays the interviewer but here's a version from At Last The 1948 Show:
Luckily I have not become that far gone, yet. :-) I've seen the 1948 show version, good stuff.
Well, I had that OT thread with the song - I was hoping other people would join in so it wouldn't look like just one person showing off & trying to be funny. They didn't, so I didn't post anything else. I too would really like to see fan-penned sketches.
No, I meant the 'Historical Note.' I do write sketches, tho' - & silly poems, songs, stories. I'll try posting up something & see what you guys think.
well, since my friend who gave it to me last christmas could find it in belgium of all places Im sure it can be found in UK. it is released by just entertainment, it has an web-adress www.justwebshop.nl not sure what language that is in, but maybe you can find an english version
I've seen this before. I remember buzzing of Sting's solo performance of 'Message In A Bottle'. Of course, I've seen him do it a hundred times since and it's not as spectacular now, but it's still a good show.
Shooting someone with a pistol to end a sketch. Always reliable.
the_thina: this is AMAZING! loved them! now I dont remember wich one of all the policemans balls adrian edmondson was in (gotta have another look at my dvds soon) and his name is not on the top picture, but if you find some pics of him in the book I for one would love to see them. and in case you dont know who he is, he was michelangelo in one version. much more agressive than eric ever was. ^^
I was certain that Adrian was in this one, too, but it appears he's not. A shame... are you a fan of his? I grew up watching "The Young Ones"!
gruggywoof: Apologies for the size of this thread, I didn't realize they were so bleedin' BIG!

Making the Most of Behavioral-Based Safety
Ron Bowles is Director of Operations for Strategic Safety Associates (SSA) and has more than 20 years of experience in safety management and worker relations. He also helps companies improve their behavioral-based safety (BBS) program policies.
In this interview, Bowles provides background on BBS and explains how organizations can best implement BBS into their workplace safety programs.
Based on your experience in safety management, how has BBS contributed to the rise or decline of workplace injury or illness?
It has done a little of both. I have participated in major introductions of BBS observation processes in the 1980s and 1990s. During that time, I witnessed many organizations implement different types of observation processes. In some organizations, the implementation is well placed, offering new injury prevention tools and enlisting employees as safety resources. If the organization's culture is advanced enough and the BBS process is integrated into the existing system, then the program is usually successful.
Unfortunately, I have seen too many other organizations in which BBS programs are misused and/or misunderstood. In these organizations, BBS is sometimes used as a club, with some workers being punished for working "unsafely." Another common problem I have seen is processes that use long and general "laundry list" observation forms that fail to "pinpoint" behaviors in behaviorally specific terms. The result of these vague observations is a process that collects and posts meaningless data.
Often, these organizations have the misguided idea that an observation process will be a miracle solution that will fix all of their safety problems. These same organizations then neglect other important aspects of their safety system. In these cases, implementing a BBS observation process seldom decreases injuries and can even detract, or distract, from pursuing other critical safety initiatives.
BBS programs rely on a worker's willingness to report an accident knowing they will be held responsible and be labeled "an unsafe worker." In your experience, is it difficult to trust the BBS data collected or to consider it accurate for workplace injury statistics?
At best, BBS observation data represents infrequent sampling of any specific worker's behavior. The data collected is not a measurement of routine behavior but of observed behavior. In my experience, this is okay, because the real value of an observation process comes from encouraging a worker (or workers) to work consciously. This occurs as a product of the interaction with the observer and the coaching feedback. Posting the observation results for an entire workgroup provides only very general benchmarking feedback on behavior and on the continued activity level within the observation process. Observation statistics, in and of themselves, usually indicate trends, not specifics.
Since BBS programs rely heavily on worker behavior, do management teams dodge responsibility for the safety of their workers?
Some organizations evade their responsibility out of the misguided expectation that an observation process will "fix" all of their safety issues. A more appropriate framework is one where an observation process is just one tool for improving safety. In this model, management has significant responsibility for safety. Also, as observation processes have evolved, I see fewer designs that leave management and supervisory behavior totally out of their process the way many early implementations did.
Monitors for BBS programs are fellow workers instead of outside professionals. In your experience, does this practice ever result in biased data?
I think conversation is more important than observation, and collecting observation data is a secondary product of the observation. Ideally, observers should tell the worker what they are looking for before starting the observation. This sets the stage for the worker to act consciously and opens the door for a discussion of the risks and of the safest course of action for a specific task. With this approach, the goal is not so much about recording and reporting accurate data as it is about creating an opportunity for safety communication between the worker and the observer.
If the goal is accurate data on safe or at-risk performance, then the monitor must be separate from the work activity. However, this approach is less effective at changing behavior positively, and it may lead to pushback from those being observed.
In your experience, do companies investigate why a worker is labeled as an "unsafe worker" or do they simply react based on the label? Are there long-term consequences? Please elaborate.
It depends on the organization. If several workers are working "unsafely" in a similar area, then the organization should look at what may be wrong with the work design and at what the strongest consequences are for at-risk behavior in that area. In this scenario, there is probably some reason that the at-risk behavior makes sense to the workgroup. Obviously, if the antecedents and consequences continue to support at-risk behaviors, these behaviors will persist. In this situation, blaming an individual worker (or workers) will not bring about significant improvement.
It is critical that this analysis of antecedents and consequences occurs and that corrective action is taken. This course of action is one marker of a highly developed observation process and helps to shift the focus off of blaming the worker (or workers).
With alternatives such as the hierarchy of controls, why haven't more companies shifted towards other means of ensuring safe equipment and safer working environments?
Of course, organizations should look at work conditions first. Eliminating hazards and shielding workers from exposures should always be the starting point. Only when this has happened, can an observation program work effectively.
Has BBS outlived its usefulness and is now being forced into implementation or does it still have completely useful attributes?
Unfortunately, some organizations have used poorly designed programs or programs that were behavior-based in name only, leading some to have a negative perception of BBS. However, behavior remains a critical focus for effective safety systems, even if the hierarchy of controls has been followed. For instance, consider driving to and from work. Auto manufacturers continue to engineer safer cars and more and more controls are put into place, yet we have not been able to eliminate wrecks. Factors like time pressure, boredom, inattention, poor perception of risks, etc. still lead to behaviors like driving at excessive speeds, making quick lane changes, accelerating through changing lights, tailgating, etc. These same kinds of factors impact our behavior in the workplace and thus there will always be a need to address behavior. Consequently, BBS observation processes remain an effective tool to help ensure a safe workplace.
Prior to joining SSA, Bowles created many safety improvement processes, including:
He also speaks at many regional and national conferences and is an active member of ASSE's Mount St. Helens Section.

WASHINGTON – Two schools in southeast Washington were placed on lockdown for a time on Tuesday morning after police said three people were shot nearby.
The shots were fired just blocks away from Ballou High School where two students were injured, and a third man, a former student, was also hurt.
It happened after a fight spilled off a Metrobus near the school.
Police are looking for one gunman. Witnesses describe him as a teenager with a ponytail.
The three people wounded were two 17-year-olds and a 20-year-old.
One of the 17-year-olds was shot in the abdomen and fell in front of the Washington Gas building. The other teen was grazed by a bullet and ran to Ballou High School. The 20-year-old victim ran into a nearby store.
The school day had just begun when students late for class left the Metrobus that pulled up to a stop at Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue and 5th Street, SE.
Mary Cuthbert, a local ANC commissioner, witnessed the assault.
"About quarter to nine, I was walking to the bus stop and I heard four shots, and I saw some kids running down Esther Place and kids running across the street," she said. "And then I saw a young man run to the firehouse banging on the door."
Witnesses said the shots were coming from a young man with a gun standing in front of a restaurant, firing his weapon up the street toward the bus stop.
One round hit the window of a store where others ran for cover, including one of the wounded.
"I knew the ambulance was on the way," said store owner Donny Speto. "I tried to keep him calm and I held his hand."
Speto said he was standing near the front door of his store when he heard the gunfire.
"When I heard the gunshots, he ran in, limping, and then when I saw everybody running in, that's when I came in," Speto said.
"Preliminarily, what we believe was as soon as they exited the bus, there was an altercation on the bus or right after they got off the bus, and then there were shots fired," said D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier.
One witness said the gunman, who appeared to be a teenager, stood in front of a carryout before running down the alley next to the salon. Police sources said a camera in the rear recorded him as he ran by.

By ALEXIS ZOTOS6 News Reporter
LAFOLLETTE (WATE) – There wasn't a fancy dress or even a dance floor, but on Tuesday night family and friends helped cross off the number one thing on a teen with terminal cancer's bucket list.
Katelyn Norman, 14, has been fighting bone cancer for months, last week she got word her chemotherapy treatments were no longer working. Katelyn made a bucket list that included going to prom, and the Campbell County community pitched into make it happen.
But Tuesday afternoon, Katelyn was having difficulty breathing and was rushed to Children's Hospital. When she couldn't go to the dance, they brought the dance to her.
In stable condition and in high spirits, Katelyn was able to have a make shift prom in her room.
The hospital staff decorated the room and her date gave her a corsage and a special sash. Family and friends gathered outside with candles.
Meanwhile, in Campbell County, the celebration of Katelyn was taking place.
The music was blaring, the decorations were hung, it was meant to be Katelyn's perfect night, and she wanted it to go on, even if she wasn't there.
"She contacted me and said prom must go on, that's her, and you can't help but feed off that energy, that life," said Sharon Shepard, an instructor at Katelyn's school and organizer of the prom.
The night was a celebration of Katelyn, featuring all her favorite things. But most important, the people she loves most.
"Once you meet her your life will never be the same, she has such an impact," Shepard said.
And despite her absence her friends passed along messages of hope and love.
"Tell her that I love her and she's my hero," said friend McKayla Pierce.
"If I could say anything to her I would say hold on, she's fighting hard," said another friend, Brandi Marsh.
Her courage even prompted the mayor to declare Tuesday Katelyn Norman day.
"We wanted to try to make this day, and this time in her life, special to her because she makes it special for people in Campbell County," said Mayor William Baird.
That was more evident than ever as thousands of people lined Highway 63 in honor of Katelyn.
"I think she's a hometown hero for all of us and a great inspiration to everybody," said Seirra Ames, who came to hold a candle in Katelyn's honor.
For more than a mile, candles in hand, the Campbell County community came together to light the night all for a teen that has touched so many.
"It amazes me that an individual has that much impact on people," Shepard said. "But that's just Katelyn."

They heard the cries, but couldn't quite figure out where it was coming from. KENS 5 Facebook friend Gina Chairez tells us her best friend's mom heard the faint cries of a kitten and realized the little furball was trapped down six feet deep amid pipes in the ground in an apartment complex in the Medical Center on Sunday.
After calling around for help, they were told to reach out to Time Warner Cable to assist in the kitty rescue.
TWC employees Matt Williams & Scott Bird responded to the call and began tirelessly digging down deep in an effort to save this little kitten.
After hours of trying, the cold, wet and hungry kitten emerged at the hands of their Time Warner rescuers.
We're told the the kitty, now appropriately named Warner, is heading to her new home in Campwood, Texas.

Ferrari is going to be showing some sort of car at the Geneva Motor Show. It's called the "149M." Is this the new California? »
Time flies, doesn't it? The Ferrari California was first shown more than five years ago and since then, it's become a staple wherever there's a Saks Fifth Avenue. Ferrari doesn't let any of its cars get old anymore, so it's time for a new California. »
Remember Howard A. Levitt, the hardworking Canadian employment lawyer and car enthusiast forced to ditch his Ferrari California in a flood so he could win a case for his client? It turns out he's getting a brand-new Ferrari, and it's a gift from the folks at Maranello themselves. »
Howard A. Levitt is a busy guy. He's one of Canada's leading employment attorneys, and when he has a case, he never lets his clients down — even when he has to abandon his prized Ferrari California in a flood so he can make it to a hearing. »
Record rainfall hit Toronto this evening stranding people in trains, cars, and buildings. It also submerged one unlucky Ferrari California. Silly Canadians, water is the natural enemy of Ferraris. »
As carmakers are ordered to downsize their engines by the EU, automakers have had to get creative (read: turbochargers) to keep the same number of horses under the hood while still meeting new fuel economy and emissions standards. »
Okay, so these official Ferrari press pictures of the California were actually taken near an Italian salt mine, but they do capture a certain gestalt, don't they? »
The California is kind of the unwanted stepchild in the current Ferrari lineup. It's not as fast as the 458 and isn't as good at transporting four people as the FF. But in 20 years, it will be one of the most sought after Ferraris from this generation. »
One of the Red Bull F1 mechanics got his hands on a Ferrari California for a night and tweeted about it. All-around good guy and noted Australian Mark Webber gave this classic reply. »
Considering Ferrari hasn't produced a turbocharged vehicle since the F40, we were rather surprised hear the familiar sound of a turbo coming from this California recently spotted on the manufacturer's private test track. »
A man hoping to buy a $200,000 Ferrari California launched it into the bay just north of San Francisco during a too spirited test drive Saturday afternoon. The car reportedly went airborne before landing in the drink. »

It's been too long since we've heard from Lapo Elkann, plaboy heir to the Agnelli family that controls Fiat/Chrysler. But being nose-deep in work at Fiat doesn't mean he's eschewed all fun — like having Ferrari build him a denim-interior California. »
A driver in a 1987 Chevy Suburban darted through a traffic light near Galveston, Texas this morning and struck a local developer in a Ferrari California. This occurred curiously close to where a certain Bugatti Veyron crashed. Anyone seen a low-flying pelican? »
A Beverly Hills tangle between a Ferrari California and a 10-wheel tour bus rendered the Cali's front suspension so pancaked, the tow guy had to drag it onto the flatbed like a petulant puppy on a leash. Sad California. »

The NFC East is a division of the NFL steeped in tradition and rivalries. Unfortunately, it is also currently the worst division in football. The NFC East is the only division without a team posting a record over .500. And with the division leading 2-2 Dallas Cowboys facing the undefeated juggernaut of Peyton Manning and his Denver Broncos' this weekend, that fact isn't going to change anytime soon.
Still, at least one team will emerge to make the playoffs out of this division. And according to Skip Bayless, co-host of ESPN's First Take, there will actually be two:
"I don't waffle on my picks. I have the Redskins winning the division. Remember, we've only played four games so far. And I have the Dallas Cowboys making the playoffs. Repeat after me: Making the playoffs. I'm not going to waffle. I'm not going to crumble. I'm not going to say 'ohhh…I don't know. I better wait till next week'. I'm hanging in there. "
The Washington Redskins currently sit second in NFC East at 1-3, with their lone victory coming on Sunday against the 1-3 Oakland Raiders. They lost their previous three games against the Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions.
Bayless' co-host, and self-proclaimed New York Giants fan Stephen A. Smith, responded by saying everything short of the Cowboys would win the division. Apparently, he hates Dallas too much to give them that.

In awe of that asenwr! Really cool!
Excellent purchase and product. Everything went well and the delivery was fast. Very pleased with my purchase and would recommend to everyone.
I buy here and they have reasonable price, high quality, good service, and fast delivery!
good dvd player, have had no problems with the playing of a dvd
the product is amazing,even the quality of the sounds and the system really works
I am very satisified with the buit-in GPS. And it plays great with Ipod and sounds great with my audio system. bluetooth system is a great safety feature for any driver and is easy to use. This particular system does not charge the ipod, this is the main thing i dont like about it. Dvd movies play great while parked but hard to play movies off the ipod on this system. Great price for the features it has.
Works great and does exacty what it says it does. Easy installation and got here fast. Would defeniately recommend to a friend
We recieved this product in excellent condition
quick delivery, dvd as described will buy from you again.
wow this is good product.i enjoyed the features so much..recommended
"Negociação não concretizada."
Guter Artikel - kaufte ich dieses Gerät für meine lange Reise. Er arbeitet während der gesamten Reise toll. Schönes Stück für den Preis mit allen Optionen.
In short, not bad!
This unit is awesome but the instructions are not clear. I have to hold mute button so that the screed could be turned off. I don't know how to adjust subwoofer.
Hello, I have something to ask on the screen to buy
The DVD player is easy to install and it works well despite my long trips. I would highly recommend them.
The GPS is horrible and I couldn't make it work no matter how much I tried. The voices sounded British and that's why I think it's probably not working well.
Service after sale was excellent.
The picture is very clear and the sound is great and I can connect it to my i-Phone. I could play music from my iPod. It's really enjoyable.
It has useful and simple GUI.
The price is very affordable. I could not find any site offering such low prices.
This is the first DVD player that I had and I was amazed at how efficient it works. I can listen to my favorite music and to the traffic news of the day. It is great!!!

It's spring cleaning time around here. The trees and bushes are on the verge of full bloom and so I've got a serious case of the cleaning bug. The next few Tuesdays I want to share a few of my favorite DIY organizing projects. First up: the easy envelope organizer.
Cathe Holden thought up this great project. The full how-to can be read here and you can download the images for the labels here. All you need is a handful of no. 10 envelopes, glue and labels! How easy is that?
I followed her directions with a few personal twists:
+ Instead of attaching the envelopes to each other, I glued them to a few sheets of cheerful Amy Butler paper.
+ Since I don't have a color printer handy, I used a different label border (also one of Cathe Holden's free downloads – you can get it here).
+ My envelopes are hanging in my studio.
+ I used part of one of my favorite scriptures at the top.
Happy organizing! Don't forget to enter the giveaway in the post below…

Price Value Quality
A lot of great features make this top one bad mother. It's strengthened in the shoulders to prevent wear while carrying a pack. The material wicks moisture, drys fast and breathes very well, it's also fairly water resistant. The zippered vents on either side open allowing you to vent your core and the sleeves roll and stow nicely turning it from a long sleeve to T-shirt, making this an extremely versatile top. Its good for any weather but extreme heat.

Love how you did the greyscaling transitions from the areas of shadow to the ones hit by light. The brightness of the eyes really gives life, a sense of intelligence and purpose, as much as the clothing conceals many secrets. The wear on the torso armor adds that additional punch of realism, as do the facial markings.

Increasing voter turnout in primaries would dramatically improve the American system and result in more candidates with moderate positions.
It occurred to me that if I placed a bell curve over this simple linear model of politics I could show the distribution of American political attitudes.
I divided the moderates such that conservative moderates are located from center to 1 standard deviation(SD) to the right of the mean and liberal moderates are from center to 1 SD to the left of the mean.
What this shows is that the majority of Americans are in the middle of the political spectrum.
This is where I may coin a term "the 68%". The 68% are the majority of Americans. They are working class Americans, students, teachers, parents, grandparents and veterans. They are by definition moderate being somewhere to the right and left of center and everywhere in between.
The two parties usually employ sensitive issues to fire up the base and to divide and distract those people in the middle of the political spectrum, the 68%. They agree on virtually all accounts except for abortion, and maybe gay marriage. Regardless these two issues are deployed every election cycle to divide and distract, and after every cycle the status quo, the state of affairs on abortion and same-sex marriage, remains the same.
But if most Americans are somewhere in the middle, why do our candidates come from the left and right of center?
Voter turnout in the primaries is very low compared to during the general election, and sometimes it is as low as 1% or lower (it averages probably around 10-15% but can get as high as 25-30%).
The result is the simple truth that while those in the middle of the political spectrum, the moderate majority decides who will be our president, it is those people on the far left and right (the fringes) that decide who the two candidates will be. In essence the 68% do choose who will be President but it is the 1% and the 10% that decide who will run.
Primaries are just as important as general elections!!!

Dec 17 2012: Daniel, Didn't the republicians put up enough candidates in the primaries? I don't think that the number of voters is, in my opinion, of primary concern. I would think that the lack of understanding government, economics, diplomacy, and in general the Constitution is .. or should be ... of greater concern. Further I believe this to be true of both parties.
I have chosen to be a independent .. however, in the primaries the liberterian made the most sense in solving domestic and economic problems .. I was not so sure of his diplomatic skills or his thoughts on world affairs, but that is my opinion.
On your attacks on Pat and your statement on FOX news you have made clear where you stand ... but lets set that aside for a second.
As a Polisi major how do you go about being elected. Rule # 1 is never tell the whole truth .. people would go screaming off into the night and you would never get out of the primaries. Rule # 2: Tell em what they want to hear. It worked in Argintina and it worked again in the USA. Rule # 3: Divide them. Class warfare is the simplest means and the most effective and has been a political tool from the begining. and on and on .... You know the drill.
Just as a matter of discussion ... if the people were all well verses in political science, economics, geo politics, the true state of Americas problems (including the FED), bailouts, etc ..., and the Constitution who would have been the final two in the election?
Just curious. Dogenes would have laughed in passing these two.
Dec 18 2012: I would not say that I have attacked anyone. Rather I was debating Mr. Gilbert i.e putting forth premises in support of a conclusion. I don't think demanding reason and logical consistency is an attack.
I have not "made it clear where I stand" but I will. I am a registered Republican and have been since I registered to vote at age 18.
However I am obviously not like the tea party types who have come to exert great influence within the GOP.
I am a moderate Republican one of the last of a dying breed. The way in which I differ from many of my fellow republicans and really many democrats is that I let reason and knowledge guide my vote regardless if that means I break from the parties platform.
I believe that the first Amendment means that we cannot canonize the bible in our legal code.
I am pro-gun. If they banned guns I would follow the ban but to do so it can not be an ordinary act of congress they must amend the constitution as the constitution demands. This is why the Brady bill was considered unconstitutional. Amending the constitution can only be done with a super majority 66% of both houses or of the various state legislatures).
I also believe the GOP is on the wrong side of reason on climate change. Did I mention I live in Kentucky (BIG BLUE NATION)? Today 12/17/2012. In Lexington there was a huge thunderstorm with a lot of hail. If we are getting any precipitation this time of year it should be cold rain or snow. There's a lot more evidence for climate change but I have ranted enough there is scientific consensus.
The point the contemporary GOP is on the wrong side of reason. Some dare I say are anti-intellectual (tea party).
The GOP in the past could enter the public forum with reason and work together for the common good.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - More than 16,000 runners and supporters were surrounded by a heavy law enforcement presence during the Kentucky Derby Festival Marathon and miniMarathon.
On site preparations began dark and early downtown Louisville before the start of the 7:30 a.m. race. K-9 units sniffed the route for the first time during a security sweep Saturday morning.
"I think it's great. Looks like police are everywhere. It's what it needs to be unfortunately," Michael Wilson said.
By daylight, there were a lot of eyes on the massive crowd. "We can't live in fear, so we're to support my granddaughters running," said Carol Tedesco.
Local and federal law enforcement were around every corner of the route making sure they were accessible to runners and spectators.
Several new rules were enforced during the race, including banning "bandit" runners who take part in the race without registering for it. Race personnel required everyone running to have a bib so they could be easily identified. Spectators, runners and bystanders were also not allowed to bring backpacks or strollers. However, WAVE 3 crews located several banned items during the race. Race personnel said they would be subject to random inspection.
"Certainly I think people understand the additional security measures are for the safety of themselves and everyone at the event," KDF spokesperson Robert Young said.
Runners who check gear during the race were also required to use clear plastic bags provided by race staff.
Some supporters like Kim Haniszewski avoided the finish line. "I'm hesitant to be any closer because of what happened," she said.
Spectators like Michael Wilson kept their eyes and ears on edge. "You just see a lot of people aware. That's what we've all got to be - aware. It's not just up to our law enforcement community. It's up to all of us," Wilson said.
Law enforcement did not report any arrests or incidents causing concern during the KDF race.
