The views in these blogs are those held by the individual blogger and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton Football Club.
About the authorView articles
Sometimes it's better to be a fan than a commentator !! As I've mentioned previously I do look forward to Derby day, the build up and banter is fantastic.
Working on the game though is quite an experience and I do feel privileged to do so. Many I'm sure are envious. However derby day commentary is a little different as at Radio City we "share" commentary duties in an effort to remain as balanced as possible for Blues and Reds. I will commentate on half of each 45 minutes and Steve Hothersall, our Liverpool commentator, will pick up the other half. Throughout the 90 minutes our summarisers Graeme Sharp and John Aldridge will chip in with their usual acerbic comments and expert analysis! All designed to keep our Everton and Liverpool listeners as happy as can be.
However, Inevitably it brings problems!! Take Monday night for example........Having covered the opening 22 minutes of the second half, I'm certainly conscious of the fact it's time to hand over to Steve at around the 23 minute mark (given that there'll be at least a minute of stoppage time at the end of the 90 this would virtually equate to half of the half !!) Victor misses a great chance and goes to ground inside the Liverpool penalty area and within seconds the Reds are on the break and Steven Gerrard does the rest.......the time on my stopwatch was 22 minutes and 20 seconds when the ball hit the net!!! I'm supposed to be "up for it" in terms of the goal commentary given that it will be replayed over and over, and of course archived for future playbacks! That's not easy, although the screams from John Aldridge were more than sufficient to drown out most of my words !!! Hand over time follows and it's subsequently Steve's turn to describe Tim Cahill's equaliser amid the yelps of delight from Sharpy!
I'm obviously used to commentating on the whole 90 minutes and describing each and every Everton goal. So Tim Cahill's late strike whilst Steve was covering the action did at least give me the opportunity to behave like a fan!! No microphone on so it was out of the seat and punch the air in delight! A rare treat!
And so to Sunday.........I suppose whichever way round we do it Murphy's law will decree it will be the wrong way!! Does it really matter?? As long as we win I'd say no not really and following our performance at Anfield on Monday I'm feeling quite confident of victory. I thought we turned in an impressive display and showed real fight and spirit that maybe we've lacked in a couple of recent derby encounters. It was certainly worthy of a point, if not all three and it'll do our belief the power of good.
I really hope Mr Moyes sticks with the same eleven for two reasons: Number one, the players who performed so well on Monday deserve to go out there and do it again. And two, it's the FA Cup. Play the strongest eleven possible because it's the greatest cup competition going and our only hope of silverware this season. As fans we're passionate about it and those clubs that don't take it seriously enough deserve an early exit from the competition.
Let's hope it's the red half who think they've got bigger fish to fry this season and receive their comeuppance! And I can celebrate in true fan style !!

How Does Your Camera Sensor Work?
Understanding how the innards of your camera function can help you understand how or why your photo is coming out under or overexposed on any given day.
You sensor is the most important part of your camera…yes I know – the sensor would be nothing without the rest of the team – but your sensor is the bit that catches the light and turns it into a picture.
Think of your sensor like this:
Picture in your head – your photograph lying on a table. Your photograph represents your cameras sensor. Now on top of each pixel that makes up your picture, put a tiny bucket. When you cameras shutter opens – these buckets (which are real little buckets on your sensor that are called Photosites) start to fill up with light (photons).
Some areas, in the scene you are photographing, have more light than other areas so the buckets capturing those areas will fill up with a lot light and might even start to overflow!
Any bucket that fills up with no light (or not enough light to reach the threshold) will be black on your photo and a bucket that is full to the top will be white on your photo. All the colours in between are different full levels in your bucket. (representing darker or lighter versions of that colour in between black and white).
What happens when one of your buckets (photosites) overflow with light (photons)? Well obviously the pixel that is represented by that bucket can't get anymore white than it is (white is white), but the light carries on trying to collect in that bucket and the bucket ends up overflowing and splashing into the buckets around it and messing up their correct 'level' of the colour light they are collecting. The more the buckets overflow the more chance you have of an overexposed picture.
Now that your sensor has collected all the photons into the photosites and the shutter is closed – What happens to these buckets (photosites) full of light? The information collected by the photosites is converted from analogue information to digital information so that your camera can understand it.
… (a simple way of explaining…) the buckets of light are 'weighed' and each weight is converted into bits and bytes. (0's and 1's) Like your computers binary code.
Those bits and bytes are then saved to your memory card and you camera is then ready to take the next photo.
Now think about this: how many photos can your camera take per second? So how fast is this entire process? Incredibly fast!

Music Meter Monday: Screaming Females
People seem awfully hung up on the fact that the lead singer of Screaming Females is a woman (a short-statured one at that). It's a state of affairs that gives said lead singer, Marissa Paternoster, pause, as her world is littered with talented women with strong voices and honed shredding skills — attributes she possesses in droves. Yup, gender roles aside, Screaming Females is a solid punk band — and this solid punk band just put out a solid new album, Ugly. The release of that disc recently propelled the band into the upper echelons of the MTV Music Meter, and, consequently, our Music Meter Monday feature.

Beyond any expectation!
We gathered here for a family retreat and were thrilled with every detail. The art, the grounds, the architecture, everything was exquisite! We loved the concierge service and felt they went far beyond any expectation. The experience with the chef was also exceptional. We loved it and have already talked about when we can do it again. The property was difficult to find the first time, but well worth the search. It is ideally located for day trips in the Provence area. Couldn't find better!
Fantastic Provence Home, Location so-so
The owner was helpful and super easy to work with. The home was great! The pool isn't heated, so keep that in mind if you come earlier than June. Bedrooms were great, kitchen well equipped, all very clean and felt very secure. Downside was really the distance from everything. While Aix-en-Provence is perfectly located to visit Cassis (calanques), Lex Baux and other hill towns and even Monaco, the home location isn't near enough to really walk anywhere but the boulangerie (10-15 min walk). We got sick of hopping in the car every time we wanted to go to town. This may suit some, but for our family of 5 we wish we were right in the center of Aix.

LOCKPORT, Ill. — A convict being returned to prison escaped by jumping from a moving van Friday in southwest suburban Lockport — but he was caught late Friday, hiding in a port-a-potty near Joliet.
Cesar Sanchez, 37, was being returned from the Cook County Courthouse in Bridgeview to the Stateville Correctional Center in Crest Hill. He escaped at 2:15 p.m. while the van was near 159th Street and Farrell Road. Sanchez apparently injured a leg in the jump but was able to limp away.

WANTED: Holiday Boyfriend! (Early 30's, Los Angeles)
Let me be clear. I want a boyfriend, I really do.
I think that we should start off our relationship during the holidays. Just think… we can get the meeting the family and gift giving awkward firsts out of the way in a matter of weeks and then spend the coming months not worrying about those dreaded moments.
Let's recognize something. The holidays suck, especially for us single people. All of your coupled friends are going to be doing couple things: going to each other's office parties, wearing ugly sweaters together, etc. Wouldn't you rather do that with someone cute on your arm?
Let's recognize another thing. Deep down inside, you don't want to be alone for the holidays. You want someone to watch Elf with, help you shop for your family and those people at the office you don't really want to buy anything for, you want to be able to tell your mom that you're dating someone and that she shouldn't worry, you will give her grandkids someday…
But, you've spent all year working on your career, fucking girls you've met in bars, taking exotic vacations so you can say on your online dating profile that you've been to 20 countries, and becoming a wine connoisseur and are just now realizing that all of your married guy friends get to be Santa this year for their toddlers and you don't.
The solution:
Be my boyfriend for the holidays and we'll see what happens from there…
How it works:
You (who is between the ages of 30-38) reply with a picture and a brief bio (spelling and grammar count… I don't need another unintelligent boyfriend). If it seems like a good fit we'll set up a casual mini-date (coffee or cocktails). If that's a success and we're both feeling it, we'll date… maybe forever.
The benefits:
- You have someone to keep you company on during the holiday season. I'm also an excellent power shopper, movie buff, foodie, cuddler and workout partner. (Yes, I do have references)
- I like to cook. Especially for others. Impromptu dinner party? Done.
- Having worked in PR and Marketing for 12 years, I am quite the pop culture guru. From Jersey Shore to Good Morning America to Presidential debates, I have it covered. Bring me to a cocktail party and I will rule the room. (I am also a great date as I can and will talk to anyone… I don't need to be entertained!)
- Hate holiday music? Too bad! I love it and you will learn how to too.
- Love taking photos? Great! Lets meet up soon so I can get my holiday cards out…
- Worried about finding someone to kiss on New Year's Eve? Done! Just make sure to have the Champagne handy…
About Me:
Early 30s, athletic, small business owner, outgoing, easy on the eyes and have a kick-ass family. Oh, did I mention they come as part of the package?
Not About You (aka Dealbreakers or, Don't Bother if You Exhibit the Following):
Heavy drug use, smoker, homeless, unemployed, laziness, virgin (yes, I recently saw the Virgin Diaries on TLC and am still traumatized) still in love with old girlfriend from years past, only want a girlfriend for the holidays.
Interested? Then send your pic and bio and get this ball rolling. firstname.lastname@example.com

Troy, AL (Sports Network) - Greg Gantt scored a game-high 26 points and pulled down eight rebounds as the Florida Atlantic Owls picked up a 61-54 win over the Troy Trojans in Sun Belt Conference play at Trojan Arena.
Also having a strong offensive game for the Owls (6-7, 2-1 SBC) was Pablo Bertone who dropped in 21 points to go along with his seven rebounds as the team snapped a three-game slide.
The Trojans (5-9, 0-3), losers of two straight and seven of the last eight overall, were paced by Antoine Myers and R.J. Scott with 18 and 10 points, respectively. Outside of Myers who knocked down 7-of-11 shots from the floor, the starters for the hosts made just 6-of-28 from the field in the outing.
Troy, which led by as many as 10 points just over midway through the first half, shot only 34.8 percent from the floor in the opening frame as it fell behind by a 32-29 score at the break.
In the second half, the Trojans made a total of just nine field goals, missing all but two of 15 chances from 3-point range in the frame, en route to the seven-point setback.
FAU, which registered almost as many turnovers (15) as made field goals (18) in the contest, won the rebounding battle by a 46-33 margin.

Men Who Love Heavier Women
Jodi Bryson: A new sex study finds that some men prefer their women with a few extra pounds.
A gorgeous friend of mine is about 50 pounds overweight and a single mom -- but she won't create an online profile until she reaches her goal weight. "I'm not skinny enough for Match.com," she said, so resolute. Turns out she could be ideal just the way she is.
According to a new study published in The Journal of Sex Research, some men like their women heavy; many even prefer their partners obese. They're called "fat admirers" and the findings reveal that they are also likely to find extremely thin women attractive.
The story asked two groups of men to rate photographs of ten types of female bodies. One group did not identify with the FA subculture, which encompasses everything from obese fetishism to the simplicity of positive support within the healthy fat movement. The other group was scouted at an FA event and was identified as FA.
"Skinny people already know about FA, but they call those guys 'chubby chasers'," my friend explained, then turned to her coloring 8-year-old daughter to tell her she didn't like the phrase. I agree; chubby chaser is awful. But I'm not sure fat admirer sounds much better.
In the study, the FAs preferred the photographs of women with a body mass index (BMI) of 29.24, which is just shy of obese according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. BMI is determined by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters, and the example reported in the story explained that a woman at 5'6 is overweight at 155 pounds and obese at 190 pounds.
Wikipedia has an entry on the FA subject, and describes fat admirers as typically heterosexual males. However, the preference for a bigger partner is inclusive of straight women and gay folks, known eponymously as female fat admirers and gay fat admirers. What's unexpected from the study is that FA men also liked the photographs of dramatically underweight women -- the report uses the word "emaciated" -- with a BMI of less than 15.
Obese and emaciated women struck their fancy? Is FA healthy or not?
The lead researcher said the findings suggest a rejection of "sociocultural norms." That's fine science, but the polarity of obese and emaciated is weird, no? Human physical attraction shows traceable socio-anthropological patterns. Replace the word fat with robust, thick or heavy if you want to, but it's still instinct to want someone because we perceive him as a healthy mate. I recognize that within the subset of FA, there are great guys who simply like more than a little junk in the trunk. But to view obesity or emaciation as sexually attractive is, frankly, suspicious. And I said so.
"If a guy doesn't like me, I just assume it's because I'm fat," my friend said. She's been divorced for six years and dating for four, and whenever we talk about her weight or her diet, she has a familiar tone of resignation. She added: "Just like anything else that's rooted in a superficial desire, there are the authentic guys and there are the creeps."
I'll give it up that the break from wanting a bony, over-exercised real housewife of Orange County is refreshing, but a new PC term doesn't change the fact that fat admiration is a highly superficial preference. On the other hand, what woman at some point in her single dating life didn't hit on a tall guy just because he was tall? And, sorry, but at no time to no man am I ever going to say "Don't date me because you're seriously attracted to my face." Is an initial attraction for being big any different?
We'd love to know your opinion of fat admirers. Is it genuine and healthy fat acceptance? Or is it ... chubby chasing? Please, tell us.

Zapzyt skin care, which is distributed by Waltman Pharmaceuticals, is expanding its portfolio with new Pore Treatment Gel.
The term "red state" takes on a new meaning when one looks not at politics, but at the incidence of a widespread but poorly understood skin disorder that causes reddening of the face.
Abbe Labs has announced that it now is offering the End-Zit acne treatment system, which is comprised of five products that target problem skin and prevent future breakouts.

The NHL has suspended Islanders defenseman James Wisniewski for two games for his inappropriate gesture made during Monday afternoon's 6-4 win over the New York Rangers.
Wisniewski got into a heated discussion with Rangers forward Sean Avery and simulated oral sex at Avery. The gesture was picked up by television cameras.
"A lot of actions on the ice are regrettable," Wisniewski said. "Ive been given a suspension from the league and I'm going to accept it and move on from here."
As a result of the suspension, Wisniewski will miss the Islanders next two games at Washington on Wednesday night and at Pittsburgh Friday night. He will be eligible to return to action Saturday night when the Islanders host the Colorado Avalanche. Wisniewski will also have to forfeit two games salary or $79,268.30 which will be paid to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.

CRANSTON ŌĆö The never-say-die attitude was there. So too were the late-game heroics that some have come to associate Lincoln High baseball with.
On a sun-splashed Tuesday afternoon, the end result went astray from the now one-beaten Lions. A valiant comeback bid was nullified thanks to Cranston WestŌĆÖs Alex MorettiŌĆÖs two-out double with one on in the bottom of the seventh, lifting the Falcons to the 8-7 walk-off triumph. MorettiŌĆÖs clutch knock touched down in the right-centerfield gap, chasing home catcher Jeff Diehl with the winning run.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆö Ask any of the girlsŌĆÖ coaches about who would win TuesdayŌĆÖs Northern Division showdown between host Cumberland High and unbeaten squads Woonsocket and Central Falls and the response was the same.
They simply didnŌĆÖt have a clue.
ŌĆ£This is going to be a close meet,ŌĆØ said Woonsocket coach Dan Richard midway into the competition. ŌĆ£I thought before the meet, plus or minus five points between all three schools.ŌĆØ

We already know it helps predict heart attack and stroke, now a new study finds a protein in the blood may also help predict the risk of colon cancer. You'll find this in the Journal of the American Medical Association. Researchers measured levels of c-reactive protein in the blood of 22,000 healthy adults and followed them for eleven years. They found those with the highest levels had more than double the likelihood of developing colon cancer compared to volunteers with the lowest CRP levels. Several studies have already linked c-reactive protein to heart disease, stroke and diabetes. It's really a simple blood test. So, if you're due for your annual check at the doctor's office. You might ask your doctor if he or she recommends a c-reactive protein test.
How are you doing on that new year's resolution to lose weight and if you're a woman, a survey says many want to lose the pounds not just because thin is in but because healthy is smarter. A survey in the January issue of Weight Watchers Magazine says more than two-thirds of women who want to slim down do so to help have a longer life and more energy. Most say they aren't at their dream weight but they are at least trying to live longer by eating better.
Parents are wired to a baby's cry even when it's not their own. And the tears activate a part of the brain related to emotion. Researchers from the University of Basel in Switzerland looked at MRI's of parents and non-parents to see what happened when they heard baby sounds. They found that mothers and fathers both reacted to baby tears and laughter but the non-parents only responded to baby laughter. The researchers say some of the reaction is a learned behavior but they believe in women, that the reaction is more of an innate response to baby sounds.

Hi Gabby,
Here are a few pics of the job we did in San Miguel de Allende, MX. We started application at 7 AM in fairly cool temps (mid-60's). We finished at 6:30 PM. It reached 98 degrees at 3 PM with a LOT of reflected heat coming off the product. Overall it went very well, especially working through the learning curve. Now we have to have a rain storm to make sure we have no leaks. The homeowner is really excited about the new roof.

Subject: Installation Complete For Order #6655
This March my wife and I relocated from Delaware to Central New York, purchasing a beautiful 3-year-old home in the country. About 3 weeks after moving in we had 3 days of rain and I noticed we had a flood in the basement under the front porch deck.
The front porch is a raised 150 sq. ft. concrete slab with 4 decorative wooden columns supporting a pitched roof. The basement extends beneath the front porch. The porch is open to the weather and, consequently, gets a soaking every time it rains.
I've had experience with water getting into the basement of other homes we've owned, so I was not happy with my discovery. I've tried all kinds of other products to keep water out and none of them have ever worked. This time I was determined to try something different.
I spent about 2 weeks searching the Internet for solutions to my water problem and found your site. I was intrigued with your products but I wasn't sure if you were just another one of those companies with a so-called solution that really didn't work.
I sent you a few e-mails and I was pleased with the rapid responses and the thorough answers to my questions. I then called your office with a few questions and I was delighted to get good answers. Your solid communications with me helped me with my decision and I called you back to order the materials I needed for my application.
I applied a heavy duty textured system to my deck floor on July 6th and 7th. First, I etched the concrete. My concrete was badly pitted on half of the deck; most bad areas were about 1/8" deep, some were 1/4" deep. So I primed the joints and the pitted areas with PermaFlex, applied a LRB/TAV mix to the wall/floor joint and flood coated the low spots with LRB. Then I coated everything with PermaFlex and applied the rubber granules; it was tricky applying these to the 4" vertical edge of the slab but I developed a method that worked out well. I coated the granules with LRB. And, finally, I applied a dark-gray PermaFlex-AL topcoat.
I've been waiting for a good rain to see whether or not I got the results I had hoped for. Well, the heavens opened up here yesterday in Central New York. We had 5 inches of rain in the last 24 hours and roads are washed out everywhere. My first stop this morning was the front door. When I opened it I saw the water sitting on the deck surface. There were several small ponds and water droplets everywhere…just what I wanted to see. I then went to inspect the basement and could not find 1 single drop of water anywhere. I moved the 3 five-gallon pails into storage since I don't think I'll need them again to catch water.
Bottom line: your products solved my problem. Moreover, my wife and I are delighted with how nice the dark gray system looks. Thank you Ideal Products.

party for 25-30...should i be worried?
I am hosting a wedding rehearsal party for around 25-30 people. It's at 7pm - a casual, but festive buffet style dinner. (there are enough chairs for everyone- but dispersed throughout living room, den and patio- so food should be easy to eat) Up until now i have been totally relaxed about it- but many people now have expressed that it is too much for me to do alone. I am starting to wonder...more importantly, i was hoping to get input on my menu...
hot hors d'ouerves (purchased)
hummus dip (purchased)
pita (purchased)
cheese platter
vegetable tray with dip(purchased)
breads, crackers (purchased)
boccocini/tomato/basil skewers
chilled pea soup shooters
new potato salad
couscous salad
green salad
veggie lasagna
samosas (purchased)
Fruit kebabs
I have two full days to prepare. I plan on making the veggie lasagna, the potato salad, the trifle, the couscous salad and the soup in advance...as well as the fruit kebabs.
The lasagna, potato salad, couscous recipe and soup recipes are very simple...low labour and time. The fruits kebabs and boccocini skewers are more labour intensive, but i enjoy them... and i want some special elements as this is a wedding rehearsal party....
i think that you might be totally fine. it is a reasonable plan.
i've done catering. some things to consider about your plan:
-you should plan ahead every single serving platter / cup / fork / etc. you will need more than you think.
-you should think about what you will wear, how you will be involved while serving, where the dirty dishes will go / the general flow of activities. think through oven space, the fact that you can only be in only place a time. are you planning on serving and socializing? i don't think you can realistically do both of those things at once.
-if you could pair down to less separate courses, i think you should do that.
-it's better to have less things that are delicious, and plenty of it, than lots of different things.
-fruit kebabs - how will you keep them fresh looking? what about the basil? it will turn black once skewered.
-hot hors d'ouevres - who will serve them while they are hot?
-i confess, why the samosas? seems sorta random, but i'm sure there's a reason you want them?
-what will the people drink? who will serve it? where will you stash all of their coats? where will you store the pre-made items? your home fridge will not store that quantity of food.
i guess i generally would do less. you will not create a more "special" effect by offering more variety - it is better to do a few things really well. just my grain of salt, and my experience. people will notice a *really* delicious lasagna. they will never care that they got to choose between a dozen different nibbles while they stood around. i think that the best things about your plan are having plenty of prep time, the purchased hors d'oevres, the salads which will be good at any temp, the lasagna, and the trifle. i would get rental china, unless you have your own. i would hire a server, or else be committed to not having fun yourself.
re: pigtails
thanks, i appreciate your detailed input. It is a bit more casual than your comments suggest though- we aren't having china, but disposables...so I have accounted for that end, and i have counted serving bowls etc and obtained extras - i think i am okay on that front as well.
i'm not serving so much as having a buffet- i have a couple of friends who will serve hors d'ouerves while hot
samosas- because they are a favourite of the bride, because they offer another more substantial vegetarian option, and because they are made ahead of time and don't require anything
drinks are taken care of - not too worried about that
i am somewhat worried about space in the fridge, but i plan to essentially empty it out in advance and hope for the best- not sure if there is a better solution here...
drinks are going to go in coolers so that should help.
i am purposely trying to keep this a casual affair- and don't want servers or caterers for that reason, my fun is less important than keeping everyone comfortable.
i'm also going for more options because although i am serving a vegetarian meal(this is non-negotiable), most guests are not themselves vegetarians, so i am trying to provide lots of options.
i'm not worried about the fruit kebabs- i make them with strawberries, pineapple, grapes, melon- things that keep well- i haven't had a problem with them before.
i haven't made the boccocini skewers before- i didn't think the basil was an issue- what kind of time lines are we talking about?- i was thinking of putting these together near the end- but may ditch them in favour of a watermelon feta salad....
i really appreciate your input- thanks!!!
Hire the help anyway. I was having a sit down, 4 course dinner for both sides of our family which ended up totaling 24. I received tons of "ribbing" from both sides because I hired someone to help with the set up, clearing of plates, and cleaning. Everyone said it would make them "uncomfortable" having someone wait on them at a family event, or "its just a waste of money and we can do it", or flat out comment like "who are you trying to impress".
After dinner was over, they all shut up and ended up asking if they could contribute to the cost of the help and wanted to make sure we had the help at all future events. You've obviously been gracious enough to offer to host this event. Make it easier on you by getting the help for a few hours. Not having a dirty kitchen from all of the trays, serving spoons, dishes and cookware at the end of the night will be a huge blessing. And guest won't feel obligated to get in the kitchen with you to help with the clean up.
I would also suggest reducing your number of hors d'ouerves. The hummus and a beautiful cheese tray with some fruit would be sufficient considering your serving a full meal. I'd also remove the potatoe salad and instead do the couscous and the grean salad. Or if you area really set on the boccocini/tomato/basil skewers, instead make that into a salad to serve with the lasagna course.
On storage of the food, borrow large coolers from friends and store your salads and vegetables. Leave the ice in the bag and then when you set the food out, you can use the extra ice for drinks. I also set up a roaster in my utility room and use it to keep hot items warm until serving. I'll cook the lasagna 2 ahead, take out and stack the pans in the roaster, turn it on to warm, and it stays great until ready to serve. This makes cutting easier and frees up my oven. If you don't have a roaster, you can use a cooler to keep warm items warm, or I've wrapped casseroles in heating blankets.
To be really hinest I find the menu far to full of carbs. There is very little I would eat that is on the menu. Cheese and green salad is about it, maybe some of the veg tray. Whether you will eat it or not you need to provide some protein options. As you said you don't know many of these people and many may be stopping for a burger on the way home. You might consider something with shrimp or seafood of some sort. Maybe 2 lasagnas? One veg and one with shrimp and scallops?
You'll be fine. As a vegetarian, the menu looks great. I also think most people won't notice a lack of protien. I've noticed a lot of non-vegetarians get worried that there will be something lacking from a meal that doesn't feature meat. Then, they come, eat dinner, love it and never really notice. Every now and again, someone says something and I reassure them there will be another meal after this one.
I come from a family that regulary has meals for 15-40 people, some are small children. It is a lot of work, but with two days to prepare, you should be fine.
Just make sure you have plenty of ice! Enjoy!
As a vegetarian, I appreciate your efforts! It seems as though your menu lacks a consistant theme, though. I like the idea of veggie lasagna, so why not stick to an Italian theme? I agree with pigtails that fewer, really outstanding dishes would be better than lots of (sort of) random choices. I also think that an all Italiam menu would be less noticably "vegetarian", and would appeal to the meat eaters. You dont want your guests to feel "deprived"!
I hosted a party for 25 on my own recently and it was fine..I do agree that a teenager to pass food around is a good idea.....and maybe you can enjoy your party more!.. the one thing I think you need are more desserts... they all went at my party fast... I did lemon Pound Cake in a bundt pan with raspberries...looks beautiful and can be made ahead...2 batches of brownies...strawberry trifle and cookies and popsicles for the kids...I thought it might be too much, but as I said...they went... also... you didn't mention wine?... a dozen bottles or so...mix of red & white..I'm not a vegetarian but it I would be fine with your menu...
I think with advanced planning you'll be fine without a server. It seems casual and a server running around would seem in some ways odd w/ 25-30 people. I've thrown plenty of parties for 20-30 on my own. I have to agree with those who think sides don't go. Seems more like a veggie potluck instead of a planned meal. Okay, the samosas are a favorite, so keep them, but I would find a couple of dishes that go with veggie lasagna that don't involve cheese OR carbs necessarily. If you want variety, I would do two different mixed salads - maybe one predominantly greens and the other without any kind of lettuce - one with peppers, tomatoes, olives, cukes. Maybe a little crusty garlic bread and you're good to go. Okay, I know, more carbs, but couscous and potato salad just don't seem to go with lasagna at all.
I'm not a vegetarian, and I don't eat a lot of simple carbs or cheese but I think your menu sounds great for the kind of gathering & holding times you are planning. I only somewhat worry that with 30 people I hope you're not planning to have everyone hit the buffet line all at once right? ie maybe don't think of it as a buffet, but think of it as having food out for people to pick & choose & eat throughout the evening. That means a little more work for you to heat the hot dishes in batches (so they stay hot), but only the lasagna, samosas, and the hot hors d'oeuvres would be heated & served in batches.
I like that there's variety (ie 3 diff salads instead of 1 really great one). Pretty garnishes can dress up the plainer dishes like lasagna & green salad if you need the dishes to look "special". Even if it's just chopped parsely on the lasagna & edible flowers on the salad.
I disagree that you should hire a helper since you said this is a casual thing and the families coming would never hire a helper at this kind of party, and b/c you said you, your hubby & a friend will be serving. At these casual affairs someone in the families is also bound to say "can I help with anything?" as they see you rush around and they can do easy tasks like refill dip bowl or the crackers, or refill the serving dishes that you thought would be big enough for the amount you made but isn't.
I'm a bit worried about the prep though, even if you have 2 days. It always takes longer than you think plus making a dish for 30 (or rather 40 if you're planning to overfeed ;-)) is just more time than what you're used to. I would calculate how much time it takes me to make each of those dishes and add atleast 50-75% time to factor the larger serving size, then count how long it takes you to plate each of the purchased dishes. Then see if it's less than the # hours you have over those 2 days. Maybe hubby can help you skewer the bocconcini skewers & fruit skewers, and maybe you can ask your friend to come early to help?
I agree with the poster who suggested unifying the theme of this menu, and would opt for an orzo and grilled vegetable salad over the potato salad and gazpacho soup over the pea shooters. I also think you could add a main dish for people who don't like lasagna -- maybe an eggplant parm or something. Or forgo the orzo salad and make a pasta primavera to go with the lasagna. Just a thought. But it sounds like you're ready and will have a great time!
re: jenhen2
I really feel that unifying the the menu and selecting a theme is important. I would recommend an Italian/Mediterranean theme. It is a safe bet for vegetarians and would slightly more in line with the samosas. For time and hassle, I would skip the skewers and just do a caprese salad, and a fruit salad. If you have a unified and themed menu, that will make a greater impact and feel more special than a lot of random things thrown together. I would also replace the Veggie lasagna with Eggplant Parm (or serve both) and offer that along with Falafel which you can order in advance. I would skip the separate veggies and dip platter, and just use the hummus as dip and have one platter with fresh veggies and pita. I would also pick up some Baklava as an additional dessert. I think you can also skip the purchased hors d'oeuvres honestly.
This is what I would do if I were you:
Assorted cheese & crackers & greek olives
Hummus & Pita & Vegetables

re: gottasay
thank you so much gottasay!! this is both very helpful, and very kind.
I will post with the results of the party.
re: gottasay
I fam in complete agreement with gottasay. I also don't think cous cous and potato salad go with the lasagna. The changes suggested by gottasay sound much better; along with the light dressing of the salads, etc. I even think you could skip the gazpacho shooters. And the suggestion that the samosas be served hot sounds good (I like them hot myself),
Since you are eating off of paper, do invest is some of the nicer ones (as opposed to the self destroying ones my mom buys!). Target has a nice selection of solid colors, as well as many square and different shaped patterned ones. Napkins to match there, as well. Buy twice as much as you think you'll need. You can always return anything unopened. And don't forget about the silly things, like lots of heavy duty garbage bags and paper towels for clean up. You may want to rent/borrow an extra large coffee maker and have that all set up and ready to plug in.
Hope your party goes well.
re: gottasay
Well done gottasay! This is exactly what I had in mind when I suggested sticking to a theme!
re: hollyeve
thanks guys! yeah, i agree that you could skip the shooters entirely. nice touch but time-consuming and unnecessary. can't wait to hear how and what you decide to do in the end!
re: gottasay
As far as your table set-up/platters/utensils/etc (this isn't as menu-centric, but also important for someone not used to hosting dinners)...
(this may be obvious to you already and you may have this part already in mind, so disregard if that is the case), BUT in case you are unsure:
-I would recommend purchasing a bouquet of sunflowers for your buffet table or a bouquet that compliments/coordinates with the color of your paper plates/napkins/utensils (purple or light blue+white is a lovely compliment for sunflowers).
-Oh, and a lovely touch for any Italian/Meditteranean table is to have a cup/vase/pitcher full of tall breadsticks. For appearance as well as taste.
-Organize all platters, bowls and serving utensils asap. A great idea that my mother does to stay organized is to set and decorate her table far in advance, and have post-it notes labeling what food item is designated in what platter. That way, even if you have people helping you, it is a no-brainer what goes where.
-Make sure you purchase small plates and cocktail napkins to offer with the appetizers and have a teeny basket or cup of forks alongside.
-For the entree, I would have the forks and knives rolled together into individual large dinner napkins and tied with a pretty ribbon or sealed with an elegant gold sticker offered in a basket next to the plates.
-For dessert, I would offer forks and spoons displayed in a teeny basket or cup next to your dessert plates and napkins.
-I would also add unscented votives everywhere for ambience.
-Don't forget to have some great background music selected. Jazz standards are great because they are festive, elegant, romantic and nostalgic and will set the mood for the next days events. They are usually universally appealing as well.
I think that's all the advice I have for you! Good luck! :-)
re: gottasay
thanks for detailed message- much appreciated!
Folks, we've removed some off topic posts about party planning and hospitality. Please help us keep the focus of this board on sharing tips on recipes and menu planning. Thanks.
alltummy, you have a lot going for you. You've got time to prepare, you seem pretty calm, you seem to know what your guests might enjoy and your priority is to make everybody comfortable. I have no doubt you'll pull it off.
Here's what I have to offer
I think that you've got a lot of food for this many people (but I always have too much too). To solve the samosas issue of not exactly going with the lasagna - why not have these as the hot hors d'oeuvres? I think you have plenty of other snacks to satisfy those who might not like samosas...
While the pea soup shooters sound fun and refreshing, they do require a lot of work (prep, clean up and passed around) - I might take this off as well - but I can understand why you would be excited to serve it.
I would suggest switching the cous cous salad or the potato salad with a selection of grilled vegetables (zucchini, eggplant, peppers etc) these could be grilled before hand and served at room temp. They look beautiful on a platter.
I think the fruit kebabs are fun, and will be a hit (especially if there will be kids around) but I would add some purchased little desserts as well, just to flush it out.
I wouldn't want to hire a server either - not for economy's sake - but I would be terribly uncomfortable with a server at a casual event. In my circle of friends and family, this would seem a bit out of place - and plus, we're the type of people who would happily take a turn passing a tray or two anyway...not that I'm suggesting you employ your guests.
re: tochipotle
thank you tochipotle!
I'm sure that it will be a lovely event. For those that say you have to offer meat, I say, why? Not every meal has to be protein-laced for one thing and, for another, there is more than enough protein in cheese. Further this is one party, not the rest of their lives. With that out of the way, I might suggest that the potato and couscous salads seem unnecessary; I think one green salad would be plenty. You can certainly wash the lettuce and prepare anything else you are putting into the salad a few days ahead (clean the lettuce and wrap in a clean cotton towel, store in the crisper drawer). You don't mention it, but I would plan on putting the hors d'oeuvres in several places to keep people mingling; also perhaps chafing dishes for the warm things. The mozzarella skewers will be great, do them last-minute. I served them not too long ago and one guest called them "Christmas on a stick". Do drizzle w/ balsamic vinegar. Sounds like you've got experience behind you and everything will be under control. Don't forget to enjoy your own party!
re: gourmanda
christmas on a stick- what a great endorsement!
re: alltummy
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help with this menu planning- I have to report that I had the party this weekend, and by all accounts it was a great success...last guests left at 1:30 am.
Though many responses were helpful, i "gotta say" that gottasay's menu plan was a lifesaver. I stuck to it pretty closely. And your suggestion to lay out the serving platters in advance was brilliant. I did that too, with little cardboard cards listing what went where (which was also useful for letting people know what was in everything). The day went really smoothly, i even had time for a pedicure. I did most of the prep the night before.
cold appetizers before dinner-
cucumber cups, half with hummus, half with spinach dip
boccocini cheese, grape tomato and basil skewers
cheese plate
vegetable trap with dip
drink- i prepared a cocktail in advance- a sea breeze.v. popular.i also prepared a virgin version(+ beer, wine, juices etc)
yellow tomato and boccocini salad
falafel, pita, hummus tzatziki, pita
grilled vegetable platter (beautiful!) with yellow, red peppers, green and yellow zucchini, mushroom and eggplant
samosas with tamarind and mint sauce
greek salad- lightly dressed with feta, oil, vinegar and olives on the side
rice balls with tomato sauce
lasagna three ways (sweet potato lasagna roll ups with tomato sauce, same with a vegetable sauce and a regular veggie lasagna) parmesan on the side, extra sauce
garlic bread
very popular trifle!
fruit skewers
baklava and indian sweets
birthday cake
The changes to the menu were because i found out rather at the last minute that three people had dairy allergies (hence the sweet potato lasagna roll ups with vegetable sauce instead of the eggplant parmiagana) and two people had tomato allergies(so the above noted lasagna was also tomato free- phew)
everything went very smoothly, I had a great time and by all accounts people were full and happy.
I let go of the gazpacho shooters (but only because my disposable shot glasses were too small) :)
everything else i made, except for the samosas, falafels baklava, indian sweets and birthday cake
thanks so much for all your help!! and a huge thank you to gottasay!
re: alltummy
Wow, sounds fantastic!!! Thanks so much for the report. When you have caught your breath, would love it if you posted the sweet potato lasagna roll ups, those sound intriguing.
re: alltummy
YAY!!! I am SO happy for you! Everything you did sounds AMAZING! Excellent ideas with the lasagna/roll-ups to counteract the dietary needs. I am really so glad that I could've been of help, you seriously made my day! I initially signed up to this site just to chime in on a particular post, but you specifically make me really glad I joined. Cheers!
re: gottasay
your menu was a total life saver. Practical, detailed, interesting- organized- thank you!

Q: How has your home country and native culture influenced your designs?
A: Greece is a sun kissed country all year long. So, dressing up is a daily ritual for Greek women and wearing jewelry is essential. Let us not forget that the Greeks were manufacturing jewelry since 2.500 BC. So we are making jewelry that any chic woman would wear. The use of religious elements such as crosses is also essential in our collections. And let's not forget the greek evil eye which we try to update every year.
Q: What do you love most about Greece?
A: The sun, the amazing weather, the island, the smile and the happiness of Greek people.
Q: How would you describe Greece's signature style?
A: Laid back but at the same time bold.

Q: How has your home country and native culture influenced your designs?
A: I think it is or certainly was in the past a part of Spanish culture for the women to be creative and self sufficient. Traditionally in Spain, Madrid also had the greatest supply of materials for dress making and design. Also, my mother has had a strong influence in my work since I was a little girl by creating my own pieces out of the beads and fabric left from my mother's more elaborate designs. So I guess it is something I have always been around due to my mother and also my city.
Q: What do you love most about Spain?
A: If the solar system was Spain, the dinner table would be the sun which everything rotates around. When I am in the process of creating a new collection, I bring the work as it develops home to my parents' house and discuss the pieces with my mother and sisters. These are the things I love most about Spain, the culture of family and food.
Q: How would you describe Spanish's signature style?
A: This is a very difficult question to answer because the culture and history of Spain is so deep and rich. I would say that the signature style would reflect the Baroque and modernist architecture and a bold use of color and materials.
Q: How would you describe your design aesthetic?
A: I have made jewelry now for the past fifteen years and the influences in my work have been varied and quite diverse. More recently, my aesthetics have been influenced by modern art at the turn of the last century in Europe such as Suprematism in Russia and the Art and Craft movement in Scandinavia and Britain.
Q: Do your pieces feature unique materials or design processes?
A: The design processes are unique in the sense that the prototypes are created as single pieces of art. Each of these works are hand crafted by myself and a small group of seasoned artisans at my workshop in Madrid. It takes at least three months to develop each collection after the elements have been decided. The pieces are created from raw materials such as camel bone and semi precious stones.

The Challenge of Africa
- Wednesday, September 20, 2006
Months after the Katrina disaster, U.K. Guardian columnist Roy Hattersley observed that nearly all of the unpleasant work in alleviating the continued suffering of victims was being performed by groups having a religious association. Hattersley commented, "Notable by their absence are teams from rationalist societies, free thinkers' clubs and atheists' associations--the sort of people who not only scoff at religion's intellectual absurdity but also regard it as a positive force for evil."
After wondering why his non-Christian comrades did not respond more christianly, Hattersley went on to say,
"The only possible conclusion is that faith comes with a packet of moral imperatives that, while they do not condition the attitude of all believers, influence enough of them to make them morally superior to atheists like me."

by Robert Firsching synopsis
Two years before directing the hugely successful Kunoichi Senshi, Masahiro Kasai made this softcore supernatural thriller about a woman (porn star Nao Saejima) with the ability to commune with spirits. After joining her husband (Toru Nakane) in a get-rich-quick scheme involving bogus seances, Saejima incurs the wrath of the King of the Underworld, who takes her to his kinky kingdom of sexual horrors. Nakane and a Chinese monk have to follow her to the spirit world in order to get her back, setting the stage for some mildly titillating setpieces.

Magicka: The Stars are Left review
Gaming's spice rack is a scary thing. Is that FPS starting to taste a little bland? Add zombies. Need a little kick to your fantasy game? Try a dollop of Elder God, perhaps with a touch of cinnamon to help wash away the funny aftertaste of madness, seaweed, and the inevitable doom of all flesh.
Unfortunately, Magicka's Lovecraft-themed DLC goes little further than adding a little of this extra flavouring. Your group of up to four wizards has accidentally woken the Big Calamari, and only copious amounts of fire bombs, lightning walls, ARSE mines and whatever else you can mix up with your trusty palette of elements are going to send him to bed without his supper. World of Lovecraft, if you will.
It turns out to be a very short battle against evil, and a very familiar one. The first chapter offers no Lovecraft elements at all, set on the wizards' Scandinavian-style home turf. The second introduces some annoying cultists and sea monsters as you travel to the village of 'Outsmouth', but it's only the final chapter in R'lyeh that really unleashes the horrors of the deep... along with a few mildly tricky puzzles to work through, and a seriously challenging battle with the Great Squiddy One himself, Cthulhu.
This DLC's short length doesn't however mean it's an easy ride. While Magicka is always best as a fourplayer game, only the most experienced players should try going it alone. Some expansions take the gloves off early. This one sneers at the mere concept of wearing gloves, producing multi-wave arena fights and giant bosses right from the start. The one concession to solo players is a fairy companion recently patched into the game, giving you one free revive per checkpoint at the cost of being a tiresome parody of Navi from Ocarina of Time. She is what praying for death feels like.
In a full group, your quadrupled firepower, plus your ability to combine elements more easily and to revive downed comrades, makes things much smoother. Any reasonably experienced group should finish in a couple of hours, with only the last boss presenting a major difficulty spike. Helpfully, only the hosting player needs to own the DLC, with everyone else being able to just jump into their game.
Beyond the main campaign, you also get a couple of challenge maps – one with a tendency to break almost immediately – and a few new toys. An Investigator's robe complete with adorable magnifying glass staff is available at the start, and a waterproof Cultist robe is a reward for completing the campaign. As for the new spells on offer, by far the coolest you'll find is 'Portal'. Guess what it does.
As a Lovecraft parody, The Stars are Left is a deeply underbaked adventure, even at this price, and only the most hardcore need apply to take it on in single-player. It's not a bad way to get your gang of wizards together for another evening's spell-slinging fun though, especially if you split the cost.
Underwhelming for its Lovecraft premise, but as another chance to enjoy Magicka's crazy combat, it just about earns its keep.
