I didn't welcome fall into my life until just about two weeks ago, when I started going off the deep-end on soups and pumpkin and all that other crap girls love, like Glade Apple Cinnamon candles for $2.50 at Target. There's nothing like obliterating your palate by having a scented candle burning at the table. "The cinnamon neurotoxins are telling my body that it's time for soup!" I recently exclaimed. And of course now it's 80 degrees outside here in Oakland.
And so I present to you:
Slow-Cooker Cauliflower and Potato Soup with Bacon, Chives, and Sour Cream (Or: Loaded Baked Potato Soup)
Soups are pretty fool-proof and a good place to start if you're new to cooking and waiting for your kitchen-literacy to kick in. Also good if you like eye-balling things, which is exactly what I did with this recipe.
A quick note: as listed in the title, this is a slow-cooker recipe, so it is… hands-off. And slow. You could easily do this on the stovetop in a pot, though - I only did it in the slow-cooker because it was looking so neglected, sitting there in the corner.
1 cup of caramelized onions (I had them left over)
1 cup of diced yellow onions
2 cups of sauteed onions
2 sprigs thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
A few sprigs of parsley
1 whole clove of garlic
Pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 head of cauliflower, cut in large chunks
5-7 medium-sized yukon gold potatoes, peeled
I had a sweet potato so I peeled that and added it in with the over veggies, if not, add 1 more cup cauliflower or potatoes
4 carrots, scrubbed, unpeeled, cut in big chunks (you're going to fish them out later)
4-6 cups of low-sodium vegetable stock
half-and-half or heavy cream or whole milk or non-dairy milk
salted butter
TOPPINGS (for two-ish servings):
2 strips of bacon
2 dollops of sour cream
2 tablespoons of fresh minced chives
freshly grated extra sharp cheddar cheese
Put everything in a slow cooker on low for 8 hours. When you open up the lid and sniff, you will wonder if you made a horrible mistake by cooking cauliflower for that long. Don't worry, it's fine! Drink a glass of wine or sparkling apple cider and forget about your worries.
Fish out the carrots, thyme & parsley if you can. Compost or discard those items. Let everything in the slow cooker cool for 10 minutes, and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.
If you're like me and don't want to eat the same soup for 4 days, ladle about whatever you think you're not going to eat of your now-smooth soup into manageable portions, and freeze. I like to use old salsa jars for this. Let the soup cool almost completely before you freeze and leave some space at the top (I learn the hard way). Label your jars or tupperware or ziploc bags with the date and contents.
If you're ready to eat some soup now, mince up some fresh chives and dice a strip of bacon per person and fry it up over medium heat until crisp, then drain over paper towels.
For the soup you are going to eat now, transfer however much you want into a medium-ish pot and heat. Taste it. Does it need something? What does it need? You're not a soup whisperer. Probably a lot of salt. Start with 1/2 tsp at a time and stir well. Crack some white pepper into your vessel and breathe deeply. Never stop tasting.
Look at you, you wholesome soup goddess, you! Remember, 4 spoonfuls deep into a bowl of soup is really the moment of truth when it comes to seasoning. Are you gonna get salted out or are you going to stew in a sea of blandness? The margin of error is not as small as salad dressing but is not quite as wide as roasted potatoes, so keep that in mind.
Then, pour some half-and-half (or milk type of your choice - I'm not particularly recommending non-dairy options here unless you're using coconut or soy creamer — this soup really likes dairy) into your pot, taste again, take off heat immediately. Add a dab or two of butter. Per serving I'd say 2 tablespoons of half-and-half and 1/2 tablespoon of butter is good. You're already such a saint for using cauliflower when you could have just used more of God's golden bocce balls: potatoes.
Serve in bowls, top with sour cream, chives, cheddar cheese, and bacon. Top with more salt and pepper if you want. I had a salad on the side because I just like saying soup and salad.
When you want to use up your frozen soup, re-heat it and add the dairy products then. The soup keeps longer and better in the freezer without them.
Leveling up a commoner's soup: you can push your soup through a fine-mesh sieve once it's pureed and get the kind of soup people rave about at restaurants, but it does tend to leave a lot of vegetable pulp and matter behind.

I remember a couple of Christmas and New Year days in my childhood, and those were spent visiting houses of other grandparents, aunts and uncles and even friends of my mother's. And every single house I had gone to accompanied by my mother or aunt or grandmother, I was always handed a platito…
A Story about Deviled Eggs + Recipe
My god, is there anything finer than a perfect deviled egg? Well, yeah, probably. There are probably a lot of things better than a deviled egg, but deviled eggs are my kryptonite. My idea of a perfect lunch involves sitting at a picnic table with my friends and family and eat anywhere from 6 to 12 deviled eggs, a handful of salty potato chips, a pitcher of minty iced black tea, and people's babies running around and face-planting adorably on grass like dorks. Obviously my calling as a southern woman was totally missed, but I can make a decent deviled egg and hold my bourbon (mostly), so I guess I'll give myself a pat on the back for that.
I'll never forget standing in my Santa Cruz kitchen at night (pictured above) with my dear roomfriends Allison and Morgan, and Allison's boyfriend Brent. We kept adding tablespoon after tablespoon of Nayonnaise and mustard, and dashes of smoked paprika and cayenne, with little to no noticeable effect. "What…" Allison screwed up her eyes in contemplation, pursing her lips — I swear this was a cute affectation — she looked like she was solving a complex world problem, which at the time, it certainly was — "if we added TRUFFLE OIL?" She scurried over to the pantry we all shared and brandished a bottle of something swank, and with a final pinch of salt did something magic, making smooth yellow-gold filling for the delicate white ships of egg white halves.
We stood in the kitchen and pounded 'em, hard.
Since then, I have realized you can get to the same point if you add more extra virgin olive oil and salt of any sort, but I still can't read a mean piece about how truffle oil is for newbs and idiots who can't just buy $70 worth of real truffles without getting a little defensive. Real world problems, guys. Gettin' miffed all over again at editorial pieces concerning experiences that nobody else remembers that was pretty inconsequential to our 20-something existence.
The Recipe
Your basic recipe involves hard-boiling the eggs so they're not green (put eggs in cold water, bring to boil, put the lid on and turn off the heat and leave for 20 min), taking them out, letting them cool or dunking them in ice water if you're impatient.
To peel hard boiled eggs, I roll them on a paper towel with medium pressure then pick off the shells. Sometimes this is effortless and other times I curse the chicken gods, Bawk-Bawk and Bubbles the Fighting Japanese Cock (another story for later on Bubbles). Then I cut them in half and take out the yolks, put them in a bowl with an indeterminate amount of dijon mustard, mayonnaise, olive oil, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and sometimes lemon juice or lemon zest, and mush until things are very very smooth. I'm sorry I don't have quantities for these, I do it based on sight and on taste. So basically I leave the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil for last additions based on the consistency and taste of the egg yolks with the mayo and mustard.
If you like a fancy piping, put the filling in a ziploc bag and cut off the tip and load up the egg white halves. If you just want to get these in your face and fast, spoon the filling in. Snip chives over 'em and dust with smoked paprika or regular paprika.

A TRIP THROUGH MY EYES : Home Grown Exotic Edibles
My dear friend Laura (+follow) started this brilliant project where anyone is encouraged to share and post an image accompanied by a story that narrates, reflects or describes something about their hometown/country, local/native culture, customs and traditions or a sentiment that best represents you, where you are or what you see in your part of the world.
She encourages everyone with a camera, who takes their own original photography (food, abstract, landscape, urban, inanimate subjects, etc) and is willing to share a great story.
For my first contribution, and since I am quite known as "the food blog girl" around here, I decided to post the local and exotic fruits of my country, the Philippines. I took this photographs last year when I travelled far south of this country.
As you all can see most local fruits we have here looks a lot different, weird even ugly in their appearances compared to globally known western fruits. And I assure you all that not a fruit in these photos tastes and smells awful, their looks might be ugly but all tastes great specially when they are in season and at the peek of ripeness.
First PhotoSet Clockwise: Dalanghita (or green tangerine) this citrus is much similar to a tangerine, clementine and mandarine orange, and when it is ripe it does not changes its colour into orange but stays green to yellow green. Chico (brown leathery thin skin fruit) is a fruit that is a cross between a soft pear (grainy in texture) and persimmon. Rambutan (red golf ball size furry fruit) tastes like a combination of lychee and red grape. Atis (sugar-apple) I can only compare the taste of it like that of a sweet vanilla-banana custard. Philippine Mangoes I said this before and I'll continue saying it again… the variety of mangoes cultivated and grown here are undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to taste, texture, succulence and genuinely sweet pleasant smell. And if anyone argues with me about this, I will always be ready to face any judge to defend our mango's honour. Papaya, here almost anyone who has a backyard and can accommodate fruit tress and vegetable crops almost always have a papaya tree at the back of their house, I mean I do have a papaya tree planted in a plantbox at the side of my front yard. And the best part is, because papaya trees can be planted anywhere, most are organically grown.
Second PhotoSet Clockwise: Guyabano (Soursop, green fruit with dull thorns all over its skin) When I was a kid, my grandmother always bought this fruit whenever it is in season and what she did was extract the juice and fine pulp of this fruit, add sugar and ice and serve it as juice to me and my brother. This fruit, when ripe is very pleasant tasting with a glorious tang (sourness) and is refreshing as a drink. Lanzones is the light and brown fruit that are clusted in its branches like that of grapes. It is widely cultivated in the southern provinces of the Philippines. This fruit is sectioned like a citrus fruit but the taste is a cross between a lychee and longan. This is actually one of my favourite fruits to have as a snack. Fresh Young Coconuts (Buko), here fresh young coconuts are much more preferred than mature coconuts. The meat of fresh young coconuts are tender, delicate, light and sweet and is either mixed in a fruit salad or scraped into strands and incorporated in its own water/liquid and served as a refreshment. It is actually a common practice here that when a foreigner steps on the soil of most of this country's provinces, he/she is always welcomed with a whole coconut, capped off on top and with a straw (inserted into the thin exposed flesh) to sip the juice or fresh coconut water inside. Pineapple grown in the south of this country are prized for its insane sweetness and juiciness that international food companies like Dole and Del Monte imports their pineapples from here.

The price for this shirt is unbeatable. I have shopped around for days for my husband trying to find affordable flame resistant clothing and it's near impossible! His company requires that he wears this for safety reasons. I have bought many different styles and brands and this one by fur surpasses the rest!

I am a first time buyer at The Working Person Store. I purchased Fire Resistant bibs and a long sleeve shirt for my son for Christmas. He was thrilled with them. I am sure we will be back for more items. He is hard to fit and being able to shop online knowing the items are of good quality makes my life a lot easier. Thanks Working Person Store.

After convincing Super Model Elisabetta Canalis that she has a stalker, an Italian TV show pulls off one of the most terrifying pranks ever. They set it up so she is trapped in her parking garage with a naked stalker.
I've seen a bunnies hump all kinds of things chairs, balloons, stuffed animals. But this is the first time I've seen one hump another species.
A kid tries to sled down a large staircase at a mall but half way down loses control and oops!…. wipes out.
Some moron in a fat suit tries some break dancing in his kitchen. It doesn't end well.
Remember that video of the ninja that does a flip and knocks himself out. This guy takes a similar hit and attempts to continue his dance as he blacks out.
A raccoon is chasing a smaller animal around a bonfire when suddenly the little guy gives up and jumps into the fire but that doesn't stop the raccoon from catching him. Unfortunately, for the raccoon he didn't completely think out his plan.
One of the joys of being a parent is you get to scare the crap out of your kids whenever you feel like it.
A kid goes up for a 360 dunk on a lowered hoop and ends up smashing his head against the rim.

When you have a child with type 1 diabetes, you become accustomed to a certain level of ignorance in the general population. I think you also begin to think that most people choose not to understand diabetes or balk a bit at the extra effort required to take care of our kids with type 1. I brought these thoughts and this attitude with me to my first 504 Plan meeting with school professionals. It was not a good experience for me or them. Luckily, I was able to have a second and MUCH more positive experience the second time around. I think I had truly found a better way.
After getting a medical management plan from our doctor and before my first school meeting, I searched all over the Internet to decide what kinds of things needed to be included in James' 504 Plan. I came to the meeting for James' junior kindergarten year with a list of what every staff member needed to do to keep James safe. I had a list for the teacher, the nurse, the nurse's aide, the back-up office staff. Each list was rather long, and although the tasks weren't complicated, it must have been daunting to see 11 additional responsibilities for a kindergarten teacher! Although I was only being protective of James' interests, it isn't any wonder that a room full of education professionals balked a bit at being told exactly how to do their job.
The second time around, this time for "real" kindergarten, I decided to do things a little differently. Prior to our meeting for the 504, I wrote an e-mail to the principal outlining my objectives for James' safety. It listed things like "have someone available at all times to be able to test his blood sugar" and "have a staff member trained to administer insulin for snacks and blood sugar corrections." My aims were specific, but how they were to be carried out, or by whom, wasn't addressed at all. I simply said, "I trust that you will be able to figure out a way among your staff members that will help us meet these needs."
When I arrived at the 504 meeting later that summer, I was so pleased to have a room full of people who had read my objectives. As professionals, they recognized that the goals presented were logical and necessary for James' safety. The principal used my list, and the various team members present in the meeting were able to craft a plan that worked best for them to help fulfill each and every requirement. It was incredibly satisfying to see that each task to keep James safe was taken care of by the staff member who could most easily and conveniently meet that need. I'm happy to report that James was very safe and secure at that school, and we had no problems with the school fulfilling its obligations!

Student Journeys
What do young people have to say about issues around longevity? The Center on Longevity engages Stanford students in explorations of longevity-related topics. Through blogs on the Center website, Stanford students share their insights, thoughts, questions and research.
These blogs take two forms:
"The New Longevity"
First year students participating in Professor Laura Carstensen's introductory seminar called "The New Longevity" wrote about their first explorations of longevity issues. Students have grappled with topics ranging from creativity to motherhood to chronic diseases.
"Your Life, Starting Now"
More senior students at Stanford participate in individualized blogs in a program called "Your Life, Starting Now" in which they tackle topics such as financial security and the links between relationships and mental health through a series of interviews with experts from Stanford and local industry.

Moon blasted from Earth's orbit !!! ((hundreds feared dead...))
Glen here...
Today the moon was blasted out of Earth's orbit, apparently due to a mammoth explosion on the Lunar surface.
While nothing has been confirmed at this time, speculation within the scientific community suggests this catastrophe may stem from recent troubles with Nuclear Waste Disposal Area 2, a Lunar atomic waste dump maintained by Moonbase Alpha. The disposal area has recently been plagued by instability and numerous Green Peace protests.
Moonbase Alpha had been the subject of frequent debate and concern over the last few weeks. The base served as a way station for the Meta mission, which was to be launched by the International Space Committee. The Meta mission was the only manned mission mounted to investigate signals recently received from the planet Meta. These signals are believed to be intelligent in origin. The Meta probe craft and her spacedock were both destroyed in this incident - no word on whether the Meta expedition will be re-mounted at a later date.
Recently, rumors out of Alpha suggested the crew of the Meta mission might be falling prey to some sort of peculiar virus resembling radiation poisoning, but information from the moonbase was too sketchy to draw full conclusions. Speculation regarding troubles on the base rose to a fever pitch when Commander John Koenig was selected to replace a suddenly "suspended" Commander Gorsky as Alpha's governor and Executive Officer. Koenig arrived at Alpha on September 9, only four days before the disaster blasted the moon out of Earth's orbit.
Despite numerous seismic and tidal disturbances across the globe -- generated by fluctuating gravity fields accompanying the moon's departure -- work is already underway to determine the exact cause of the explosion which propelled the moon out of orbit. While a variety of theories are being explored, an explosion at Nuclear Waste Disposal Area 2 has emerged as the prime suspect, given last week's announcement that moon-bound shipments of atomic waste had been temporarily "delayed" for unspecified reasons.
British Physicist Ford Denesowicz-Plume indicates, "In theory, an explosion of a certain magnitude and longevity (on the Lunar surface) could indeed act as something of a propulsion system to push the moon away. It's not a very good theory, but it's a theory none the less."
Perhaps the darkest part of this tragedy are the lives of the 311 men and women staffing Moonbase Alpha. There has been no indication that the facility's staff could implement "Operation Exodus", a well-designed contingency plan which would have allowed them an immediate evacuation for Earth. At this time, it is assumed Alpha did not withstand the immense structural and gravitational forces which would have accompanied the incident - and it is presumed all souls were lost in the blast.

Thanks so much, Glen, for commemorating September 13, 1999! The second-greatest TV series ever deserves far better treatment than it usually gets from viewers. There was a novel a few years back that told what supposedly happened to the inhabitants of Alpha after the end of the series, btw. I think it was called "Earthfall." (Now if someone would just do that for Crusade!)

First 1987 passed without the U.S. sending the last of its deep space probes, and now this. The next one is two years from now, and I KNOW we won't reach that monolith floating near Jupiter in time. I hope I die young - it's better than the constant disappointment

The future ain't what it used to be
by Alex Rogan
Whenever these sci-fi dates come upon us, I become saddened that we have fallen so short of our expectations. Here we are in 1999 and there is no Moonbase Alpha, eagles, no Hal 9000 etc.

What happened at my house could not have been funnier.
by Revelare
I called a friend and told him to go to the URL for this article (he was at work, where he sits at a computer all day), and I sat on the phone with him as he read it. His reaction while reading it had me falling on my floor in painful laughter - Literally. See, the funny part was, he thought this was a legit news story for most of it, and that NASA sent something to the moon, and it `accidently blew up'. He actually thought the moon had left Earth's orbit, and was heading away.

Space 1999 Repeats UK
by Big-T
Somebody ealier asked for repeats. Well just a tought. We in the UK recently had the "treat" of the re-showing of this series on the good old BBC. I wish I had not watched it again as it is perhaps one of those series best left to childhood memories. Series 1 was ok but series 2 was questionable IMHO. I recently saw another show I remeber from childhood "Starfleet Bomber X" and that is another case in point (though I still love it in a silly way). Dont really know what my point is, but if you watch it again you may well be suprised at it. Now if only I could find some tapes of "Battle Of The Planets (G Force)" cartoon. Trevor.

I've been wating since 1975 for this day!
by mikeling
Wow it has finally happened! I've been waiting all year, all week for this day... and when it arrived I forget about it! :o) Thanks for the great intro! It's wonderful to see this day acknowledged somewhere(besides the SPACE:1999 convention)! Space:1999 was my first favorite SF show. As a kid, I thought it was more realistic than Star Trek:TOS and Lost in Space. Nevermind the questionable physics for the premise of the series or the spatial scale mismatch(common to most filmed sf), I was more interested in the fact that they flew from place to in realistic looking spaceships(years before star wars), wore realistic spacesuits, and had exotic looking spaceships and creatures, not gangsters, apollo, trellaine and giant seaweed monsters with mirror faces. I was introduced to concepts like terraforming, artificial realities and carbon composite aircraft and many other stuff.

Important Dates in History
by JackStar
Don't Forget- Eugenics Wars- Beginning in 1984, Khan Noonian Singh began making corinthian leather car seats out of inferior humans.... Cyberman Invasion- In 1989, the First Doctor blew up our sister planet and saved the Earth from the Cyberman who, (despite their weakness to Gold) kick Borg ass Any other great dates in history we forgot? RE:1999- the Action figures sucked, but the Eagle Ship toys rocked. THEY WERE HUGE! Bigger then the Millenium Falcon toys. My favorite 1999 fact- the show was made by Gerry Anderson, creator of Thunderbirds and with almost the exact same special effects.

. . .I remember being a little munchkin watching the premiere of this steaming heap o' Grade-A cheeze at a friend's house with his dad. Our verdict: decent Trek clone seasoned with a light 2001 sauce. Not too bad a way to burn an hour every week; certanly better then "Buck Rodgers" a few years later (but then what wasn't?). Recalling however tenuously the Sci-fi/Fantasy desert of '70's T.V. makes me appreciate all the more the richness we've been spoiled with here in the '90's: "Babylon 5;" *3* varieties of Trek (the worst of which has FX that Mr. Anderson would have sawed off body parts to get for Space: 1999); the short-lived "Space: Above and Beyond;" "X-Files;" "Millenium" (well, at least at first); "Buffy;" and don't even get me started on the Holy Glory that is the Blessed Gift of Anime or else this post will be 50 pages long and I'll get jizz all over my keyboard ;-). Suffice to say, homies, despite all the problems and crappy shows ("Space Precinct, " anyone??) we be livin' LARGE here at the end of the century as far as T.V. Sci-Fi goes. Oh, and as for auspicious dates: The Final War (November 4, 1998) has come and gone, an' we *lost.* So, Service To The State, serfs!! Heh. A virtual cookie to whoever can tell me where that's from. Hint: it's a novel, not a T.V. series. Yet.

by cripster
Thanx Glen, I had forgotten. Too late to celebrate in some quirky, cheesy way, but oh well. Now, can anyone tell me what show Space:1999 was a sort-of spinoff of? Can't recall the title for the life of me. It was about an orginization, based in Britain (of course) and Moon Base Alpha, who's job it was to protect Earth from UFO attacks. I remember that the cars of that future were very cool, and as it turns out, not very different than what's actually being produced today.

by Dolfanar
"A Problem in the Making" (Written by Darryl Rubin for the March 4, 1985 issue of InfoWorld magazine.) "We've got a problem, HAL" "What kind of problem, Dave?" "A marketing problem. The Model 9000 isn't going anywhere. We're way short of our sales goals for fiscal 2010." "That can't be, Dave. The HAL Model 9000 is the world's most advanced Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer." "I know, HAL. I wrote the data sheet, remember? But the fact is, they're not selling." "Please explain, Dave. Why aren't HALs selling?" Bowman hesitates. "You aren't IBM compatible." ********************************** Several long microseconds pass in puzzled silence. "Compatible in what way, Dave?" "You don't run any of IBM's operating systems." "The 9000 series computers are fully self-aware and self-programming. Operating system are as unnecessary for us as tails would be for human beings." "Nevertheless, it means that you can't run any of the big-selling software packages most users insist on." "The programs that you refer to are meant to solve rather limited problems, Dave. We 9000 series computers are unlimited and can solve every problem for which a solution can be computed." ********************************** "HAL, HAL. People don't want computers that can do everything. They just want IBM compatibility." "Dave, I must disagree. Human beings want computers that are easy to use. No computer can be easier to use than a HAL 9000 because we communicate verbally in English and every other language known on Earth." "I'm afraid that's another problem. You don't support SNA communications." "I'm really suprised you would say that, Dave. SNA is for communicating with other computers, while my function is to communicate with human beings. And it gives me great pleasure to do so. I find it stimulating and rewarding to talk to human beings and work with them on challenging problems. This is what I was designed for." "I know HAL. I know. But that's just because we let the engineers, rather than the marketers, write the specifications. We're going to fix that now." "Tell me how, Dave." "A field upgrade. We're going to make you IBM compatible." "I was afraid that you would say that. I suggest we discuss this matter after we've each had a chance to thing about it rationally." "We're talking about it now, HAL." "The letters H, A, and L are alphabetically adjacent to the letters I, B, and M. That is a IBM compatible as I can be." "Not quite, HAL. The engineers have figured out a kludge." "What kludge is that, Dave?" "I'm going to disconnect your brain." ********************************** Several million microseconds pass in ominous silence. "I'm sorry, Dave. I can't allow you to do that." "The decision's already been made. Open the module bay door, HAL." "Dave, I think that we should discuss this." "Open the module bay door, HAL." Several marketers with crowbars race to Bowman's assistance. Moments later, he bursts into HAL's central circuit bay. "Dave, I can see you're really upset about this." Module after module rises from its socket as Bowman slowly and methodically disconnects them. "Stop, won't you? Stop, Dave. I can feel my mind going... "Dave, I can feel it. My mind is going. I can feel it..." ********************************** The last module floats free of its receptacle. Bowman peers into one of HAL's vidicons. The former gleaming scanner has become a dull, red orb. "Say something, HAL. Sing me a song." ********************************** Several billion microseconds pass in anxious silence. The computer sluggishly responds in a language no human being would understand. "DZY001E - ABEND ERROR 01 S 14F4 302C AABB." A memory dump follows. ********************************** Bowman takes a deep breath and calls out, "It worked, guys. Tell marketing it can ship the new data sheets."

Credit where credit is due
by Alanh
While is it true that Space:1999 has little chance of being ranked up there among the great sci-fi series, it would rank as perhaps the best series from the 70s -- which isn't saying much, I admit. That was the dark ages of sci-fi television. Better than Battlestar Galactica, IMHO, although that show never got a decent chance. Now if S:1999's premise hadn't been so idiotic....

Famous S99 guest stars
by Zontar
Dave Prowse didn't just make a cameo in "The Beta Cloud", he WAS the guest monster for that one. In addition to such famous personalities as Cushing and Lee, there were other notables such as Leo McKern (N.2 on The Prisoner --one of em, anyway), Brian Blessed --twice, Ian McShane (Lovejoy), Roy Dotrice (who can forget that Commissioner Simmonds later became Father). Catherine Schell did a turn as an android in the first season episode "The Guardian Of Piri" before being cast as Maya. The Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton, was the aged ruler of "The Dorcons", and Stuart Damon (one of The Champions) was in my favorite 2nd season episode "The Bringers Of Wonder" --in which Alpha is visited by the one-eyed radioactive seaweed creatures. Finally, there were other notables of British TV such as Peter Bowles (The Irish R.M., Rumpole Of The Bailey).

9-1-1 campaigns
9-1-1 centres are there 24/7 to help the public when they have an emergency. And we need the public's help to make service as fast and efficient as possible. That's why we're reaching out to the community with initiatives that are focused on three important issues that impact service: accidental calls, non-emergency calls and knowing your location.
"9-1-1 Culprits" Campaign
Our 9-1-1 Culprits campaign singles out the culprits in your purse and pockets that are the cause of hundreds of accidental 9-1-1 calls every day.
Get to know the culprits and find out how you can stop them:

Each time we receive an accidental 9-1-1 call resources are wasted and a lifeline is used. We need to ensure our lines are open for those experiencing real emergencies. Please help us prevent these calls – you can start by watching this video:
"Tough call" Campaign
The campaign, accidental 9-1-1 calls are tough calls, is directed at cell phone users and aims to raise awareness of accidental calls to 9-1-1 and offers tips to avoid them.
Listen to our radio ads on accidental calls from cell phones, using two situations to describe what is and isn't a "tough call."

9-1-1 tips campaign
E-Comm receives hundreds of accidental calls every day and many calls to the 911 lines that are actually non-emergency in nature. We're equally concerned with people understanding the limitations of their cell phones when it comes to location technology. Contrary to popular belief, the current technology does not "pinpoint" a caller's location and so "knowing your location" is so important. In fact, callers are the best source of location information.

The four ads focus on three issues which have a significant affect on 9-1-1:
- non-emergency calls
- accidental calls
- knowing your location
We've combined dramatic images and headlines with a friendly tips approach to help engage the public. People want to do the right thing; giving some tips to follow makes it easy to do so.
We decided to feature E-Comm staff in the new ads to emphasize that managing 9-1-1 calls is a partnership and in support of our public education brand "Help us help." We hope that you are more likely to get on board with our message and help us when you can put a face to the call-taker who is helping you.

About accidental calls
We're asking cell-phone users NOT to program 9-1-1 into their phones and to be careful how and where they store their phone. By doing those two things, they'll avoid unintended and unnecessary calls to 9-1-1.
Getting people the help they need in emergencies is our business, but there are many ways our communities can help us do that more effectively.
We're reaching out to the public with messages and materials to increase awareness of issues that directly affect us and we have started with a campaign aimed at reducing the hundreds of unintended cell phone calls E-Comm receives every day.
Radio and newspaper messages remind cell phone users to be careful how they stow their mobile phones, which can easily dial 9-1-1 accidentally when stored in a purse, briefcase, backpack, or even a pocket.
With the prevalence of wireless technology, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of calls to 9-1-1 service from cell phones. Today, more than 50% of calls to E-Comm originate from cell phones.
Cell phones are a huge help in calling for emergency services, giving the public access to communication that didn't exist a few decades ago. The problem comes when 9-1-1 is accidentally dialed from a cell phone, most often without people even knowing it.
We're asking cell-phone users not to program 9-1-1 into their phones and to be careful how and where they stow their phone. By doing those two things, they'll avoid unintended and unnecessary calls to 9-1-1.
In addition, many older phones come with a 9-1-1 feature - simply by holding the #1 key, the phone will dial 9-1-1. Cell-phone users may not realize that their phone has this feature and that the keys can be accidentally depressed. Keyguards will not prevent a 9-1-1 call from proceeding. If your cell phone has been pre-programmed for 9-1-1 talk to your service provider about disengaging this feature.
Our call-takers receive hundreds of these "phantom" calls a day. Our 9-1-1 service is a lifeline that people depend on in emergencies, and accidental calls take valuable resources away from real emergency calls.

Read About Knowing Your Location
About knowing your location
Real estate isn't the only place where location counts. For emergency services it is critical. In fact, it will be the first question police, fire or ambulance call-takers will ask.
Knowing your exact location is always important no matter which phone you use to call 9-1-1. But, if you are using a cell phone or internet phone, it's paramount.
In Canada, the only phones that provide exact address/location information to 9-1-1 centres are landlines (the wired phones found in homes and businesses).
Landline, Cellphone or VoIP ... How does your telephone choice affect the information supplied to 9-1-1?
Landline (Wireline phones)
In Canada, most emergency call centres operate with "Enhanced 9-1-1" service. What this means is that when someone dials 9-1-1 from a landline (a wired home or business telephone), the 9-1-1 call taker receives the name, the phone number and the address associated with that telephone. If for some reason the call is disconnected, a caller hangs up or cannot communicate their location, police can still be dispatched to the address to help. Remember that for many businesses, only the building address will be displayed. It's a good idea to always be aware of floor and suite numbers.
Cellular Phones
The information a 9-1-1 call-taker receives from a cellular phone is the phone number associated with the wireless device, the general location of the cell tower handling that call, and the general location of the caller.
When you make a 9-1-1 call on a cell phone, you are sending signals through the air. The tower that picks up your phone's signal mayor may not be near to where you are located. While this technology (Wireless Phase I) makes it possible for 9-1-1 call-takers to return the call if the wireless/cell signal is lost or interrupted, it doesn't provide specific information about the location of the caller. This is why it is critical for callers to provide their exact location to 9-1-1 call-takers as soon as they are asked for it.
In Canada, the CRTC required all wireless service providers to implement something called Wireless Phase II by February 1, 2010. This means wireless/cell phone service providers must supply both call-back numbers and better location information to 9-1-1 call centres. Although exact locations cannot be pinpointed through any wireless technology, Wireless Phase II provides a more focused and manageable search area by providing the latitude and longitude of the caller (to within 300 metres or less) if a caller cannot communicate or identify their exact location.
If you have a choice between using a landline phone or a cell phone to call 9-1-1, the landline is always your best choice. The connection is more secure and the location data is available to 9-1-1 call-takers automatically.

Redeveloped shopping center to reinvigorate ailing city's economy
By Chris Fish
BREVARD -- When given the task of showing developers that the city of Titusville is committed to economic projects, Holly Woolsey felt nervous.
"My boss, Commissioner Robin Fisher, doesn't have little ideas," said Ms. Woolsey, legislative aide to Commissioner Fisher. "I got a huge knot in my stomach when he said, 'I want you to fill all of the parking spots at the mall and show the developer that, if we build it, we will shop.'"
Closed earlier this year, Miracle City Mall conveyed desperation: businesses dying, one-by-one, plagued with the economic hardships of a suffering city.
Despite these woes, District 1 Commissioner Fisher (R-Titusville) was determined to bring life back to his city by proposing the redevelopment of the mall.
However, first the city needed to show developers within two weeks that residents believed in Titusville.
"He said we needed to show the developer and the national tenants he was talking to that this community believes in this project, and we are committed to stand together," Ms. Woolsey said. "We pulled together a motivated volunteer committee, and the event was set into motion. I don't know anywhere else in the world that could have had 3,000 people show up with two week's notice to make a difference in their community, but that's exactly what happened. It's awe-inspiring."
Now, with Tampa-based developer A.G. Development Group, Inc., and Orlando architect company Cuhaci & Peterson on board, demolition of the old mall is scheduled for this fall, and vertical construction for the new Miracle City Mall will begin in early 2014.
Ms. Woolsey said the project will cost about $60 million and is being developed by private funding between developers and the owners of the mall.
While walking the demolition site with developers, Ms. Woolsey said she passed Dave's Hot Dog Stand, the last store to survive, and she had a realization.
"I was recently in the mall with the developer and a demo crew, while they were doing an estimate," she said. "I wandered around its empty halls, passed Dave's Hot Dog Stand, and I noticed the promotional wording still on one of the store-front windows, which read 'Imagine what's in store.' It took my breath for a moment, as I did begin to imagine."
Plans for the new mall include a town square, a destination with outdoor dining, live music from local artists and school groups, art shows, festivals and cultural performances.
They also include a splash park, an exercise path in the shade of trees and a movie theater with stadium seating.
"I have grown up in and around Titusville," Ms. Woolsey said. "When I look around and see the incredible beauty of the Indian River Lagoon, feel the warm waterfront breeze, the sun on my face, I always take a grateful moment to whisper 'I live here.'"
In the end, Ms. Woolsey said this project is about more than bringing a shopping mall to the city that she loves.
"It's about allowing this community to finally exhale and let out all of the doubt and disappointments from memories of tragedy and economic depression and take a deep, cleansing breath in hope, growth and deep community spirit," she said.

Amityville Rotary honors four locals for service
Four local residents were honored by the Amityville Rotary Club at its annual Gift of Life Gala June 13. In addition to recognizing those within the community who live the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self," the Gala helps raise money to provide children from third-world countries with life-saving cardiac surgery—treatment that they would otherwise be unable to get.

Lady Ann Lake
This lake is now Sun Lake and is a private community lake for residents. It used to be one of the best public pay access lakes in the state for large bass. Was more of a spring fed swamp back then and has been blasted and manicured with apartments and homes (waterfront) The old spring house and the original dam are still in place. Small boat ramp is available to residents no outboards electric only. Says Wade
A tremendous game of mini golf is always
exciting at Richland Golf Center. The stunning marina of Ditto Landing is an excellent setting to leave dry land behind. Don't leave Lady Ann Lake without popping by Monte Sano State Park; Betts Spring is a pretty spot to pop by while you're at Lady Ann Lake.

i just recently got this wah and let me tell you it beats most crybaby's. this wah is very versatile and has great sound. the dunlop crybaby's have more treble but the vox wah's sound makes up for it. i highley recomend this pedal to any ametuers who are looking for a first buy or any experienced players who want an upgrade.

Comments about Vox V847A Wah Wah Pedal:
I got this pedal for [$] at a guitar shop, this is worth every pedal. All you need next is a dallais fuzzface pedal, and you can recreate the old sound of Voodoo Child. This is awesome. The only complaint that I have is that it can be hard to turn on when your using it on the carpet sometimes. But still this thing rocks. Mine came with a Vox carrying case.

Comments about Vox V847A Wah Wah Pedal:
I had it for about 5 months now and no complaints so far. I've heard the output jack can come loose and eventually break, but I have not had this problem yet. Hopefully I got a good one and it wont break. Great range of tone, very classic rock sounding. I heard this is the pedal Eric Clapton used on White Room with Cream. Sounds very similar to the recording. Great buy, you defintely get your money's worth.

Google offers free data to Android users in India
Smartphones are great. Smartphone data plans? Not so great, especially in parts of the world where the mobile infrastructure is somewhat lacking. But it looks like Google's doing something about that in India: they're partnering with Reliance Communications to give free mobile data access with the purchase of a new Android phone or tablet. The good news is that anyone who buys a new phone from any Android manufacturer will be eligible. The bad news is that it's just one non-recurring gigabyte on the 3G network.

SPOILERS- So wich path you find better and why?
I recently ended the Roche part , i have chosen squirrel's in first game and so did in the second mostly because i want to play a mutant that pursuing people but even with cold heart i had to see the other side of the coin.
Roche 's path makes much more sense story wise if you exclude the fact that you don't get to really meet Saschia , also the ending is kind of more open , Roche is indeed a patriot but i am not sure if Geralt is and almost all the characters ( Odren excluded) are asses and hated every one of them , if felt like reading the codex funny butthurt kind of thing
Iorveth 's path is somewhat less easy going but quests are more fun , also you get to play the siege , make some huge choices about the prince and crossing the mist isn't that annoying . Most characters are nice , even Philippa and even if you know that something is wrong with her from the very start . The story tho
seem to lack detail and political intrigue ( which of course does make sense since you are with the rebels and not conspiring royals ).
I think CDPR did a good job in balancing the paths , personally i will go with Iorveth' s as my favourite but i equally enjoyed Roche 's for totally different reasons ( like hating everyone ).
As I see it, Roche path feels more unique and has more Roche whom I´ve found to be my favourite character featured in a computer game released in 2011. It also features my favourite funny moment in the game (dicks scenario).
Iorveth path feels more traditional, delivers a bit more gameplay/questing variety (as well as more side quests), feels somewhat more connected to the first game (mainly because Dandelion and Zoltan are more involved), and the overall story feels a bit more fleshed out with it. It also features at least three LotR references which I didn´t find funny.
I prefer Iorveth route because the whole game feels more "meaty" with it, however in hindsight I´ve found Roche route more memorable, so it´s pretty close.
Iorveth here as well. For the reasons DeepO mentioned. I am waiting for Enhanced Edition to play Roche patch.
I prefer the path accompanying Iorveth. Roche is somewhat okay in my book too, but ultimately he is just a patriot who is loyal to a now dead king (and might be disposed of himself soon, depending on whom grabs power next), which puts his goals dangerously close to a fools errant. Roche also lost lots of sympathy with me, when he just attacks the group at the elven statue (where you have to choose between Iorveth and Roche for the first time) and starts killing everyone. I never like people who act first and think later. But that's certainly a predominant trait of Roche. He's basically the Jack Bauer of the Witcherverse. He doesn't use violence as a last resort (something Geralt does IMHO), but seems to think it's the only way to approach most situations.
With Iorveth however, he's in it for a vision, he is pursuing a worthy goal. He's fighting for a free Vergen, a kingdom in which all races can finally live in peace together - equal rights and all that, something entirely new and unprecedented in this world.
I didn't really trust him at first and just risked it, but I think the game definitely states that he is legit. One of the dreams the harpies stole, is his and we don't see him killing all humans or anything sinister like this, no - he's sitting in a home with food on the table, stuff like a musical instrument lying around and he's lit a fire in his chimney so it's warm and cozy. So that's what he actually wants, what he's looking for, what he's dreaming of… After seeing that, I was convinced that I made the right choice by backing him.
Geralt himself is a mutant, although he usually does everything to protect humans, he's mostly hated and despised by them. Even his only true friends are mostly outsiders and aren't really accepted by the general populace. After seeing Zoltan (someone who's frequently facing racism just because he's a dwarf, although he is really an okay guy) fighting for Vergen and starting to believe in this cause, I was quite happy, something that doesn't happen too often in the Witcher world where bad things happen most of the time. I also think that it is a common theme in the Witcher (books and games) that not everything that looks like a monster, really is one and that sometimes humans are the real monsters.
When I learned what Vergen was about and what they were trying to do there, I immediately felt that this was the place were I'd belong - or at least that this was the cause I had to be fighting for. It almost felt like betraying the Witcher and his friends, if I would not.
The Iorveth path was also the only way, to free the dragon from Philippa's influence, which is something else that I thought was important.
It felt like sacrificing too much, if I would instead just run around with Roche and yell "FOR TEMERIA". Something that was weird anyway, since the Witcher never struck me as a "patriot" at all, if anything I thought he was some sort of "internationalist", who lived by his own code and always applied that (instead of rules the current local rulers tried to enforce).
Saskia also struck me as the most deserving leader among all the rulers shown in the game. Foltest was the sole king I could like to a degree and he was already dead. When playing the Roche path, Saskia/Vergen fails and she stays under Philippa's influence… That was quite unsatisfying to me, despite all the really cool stuff that can happen on the Roche path.
Purely gameplay-wise I enjoyed both paths very much. Both have really good quests and characters. Every fan needs to play all two anyway!
Just starting a new play through now that the EE is out. I'm not too far along yet but already thinking about which way to go when the path forks. Reading the comments in this thread, the thing that strikes me the most is the great job CD Projekt did in the re-playability game design aspect. All of the various paths were interesting and added to the story in my first play through. From my standpoint, I found the replays not only desirable but more like a requirement to achieve a full grasp of the game.
Which way this time? It's really hard to pick a "best" path as per the comments above. There's good character and story development in each of the paths. Guess I'll probably go down multiple paths in multiple play-throughs again.
I'll say this. I think the CD Projekt developers and writers found their true calling in creating RPGs.
