Best Baby Video on YouTube Right Now
Posted by Charlie, under EXTERNAL USE ONLY
People often ask…
What's it like being a dad?
What are the best parts of fatherhood?
Do you have any redeeming qualities whatsoever?
The answer to all of those questions is inevitably, "42."
But seriously, being a father can't be summed up in a status update, a tweet or a blog post. Words can't bear the weight of the incredible doting and love that is possible. But maybe this Youtube video can begin to describe it…
If you don't have an emotional reaction to that video, I would check your wrist for a pulse.

Should Parents Feed Their Children Kid-Friendly Foods?
Recently I have read a few interesting articles about the foods parents feed their children. There are those who believe that kids should not eat grown up food and instead be fed a diet of plain buttered pasta, chicken strips, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. On the other hand, there are an increasing number of advocates who feel that kids should eat exactly what the adults are eating. In fact, some claim that giving kids spaghetti-O's instead of the ragu you are eating will cause kids to become picky and unhealthy eaters when they grow up. Rachael Ray claims that she ate anchovies and other unusual foods as a youngster because her parents exposed her to these foods at an early age. Ruth Reichl, of Gourmet magazine, in her March editor's letter rants about irresponsible adults who feed their children dinosaur shaped chicken and heart shaped sandwiches. Where do you stand on this issue readers? Should parents feed their children kid friendly foods?

All melee players want good the best run speed they can get, because if you aren't standing next to the target, you aren't doing damage. Long Arm of the Law is a very strong choice in my opinion. Thing about any fight, PvE or PvP, where there is a target switch, and the target is more than 10 yards away. Lich King, Putricide, Marrowgar if people fail, Deathwhisper, Gunship. That's just ICC. Happens quite a lot doesn't it? Think about Lich King, LAotL was invaluable to getting around/between the Defiles super fast and owning the Val'kyrs, then getting back around the Defiles to LK. There's also nothing saying you have to actually attack the target you judged, so I use it as a general speed boost in certain situations. Unless you blow a 3-stack TV, or drop an Exorcism crit on the target before the tank has good aggro, your damage abilities just won't cause enough threat make problems. It's those two that really get you aggro. In any case, this minor drawback can be countered by skill, and the advantage it offers is really strong. Sometimes getting that edge in raids is what makes the difference.

Chris Foss and HR Giger's concept art for Jodorowski's unproduced Dune.
"Fanboys and girls would have drooled over the visual team. A then-obscure H.R. Giger designed the creepier Harkonnen settings. Dan O'Bannon, known at the time for his work with John Carpenter on the sci-fi film Dark Star, was brought on as the special effects wiz. (Jodorowsky rejected Douglas Trumbull because he found him too full of himself.) British artist Chris Foss designed the space craft. And Jean Giraud, aka French comic book artist Moebius, brought Jodorowsky's dreams to life in some 3,000 storyboard drawings that perfectly capture a character or scene with a few quick pencil marks on the page."
From the fantastic Boing Boing essay about it, available here. Read the whole thing.
Also there's an amazing documentary on this called Jodorowsky's Dune that's worth watching. Dozens-of-us, if you ever...

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech softball team is embarking on what may be its most pivotal weekend of the season. The Ohio Valley Conference Tournament is three weeks away, and the Golden Eagles currently sit fifth in the standings. Saturday and Sunday, the Purple and Gold face the top two teams in the OVC: SIU Edwardsville and Eastern Illinois.
Saturday, the Golden Eagles will play in a doubleheader against SIUE beginning at 1 p.m. The Cougars are currently ranked second in the West Division with a 14-2 OVC record and a conference-best 31-8 overall record.
Rounding out the trip, Tech will play Eastern Illinois on Sunday afternoon. EIU holds a 15-2 conference record, placing the Panthers first in the West. They have only dropped two conference games, one to Eastern Kentucky and one to Southeast Missouri.
The Golden Eagle senior class is seeking its third trip to the OVC Tournament. With the addition of Belmont, the tournament field is made up of eight teams. The top team from the East and West Divisions receive automatic bids, and the next six spots go to the teams with the best conference win-percentage.
With the field wide open, Tech will rely on its veterans to carry the load. Senior Melody Christian currently leads the Golden Eagles with a .368 batting average and a team high 50 hits and 26 runs. Christian opened the season on an 11-game hitting streak and is back on track, currently on a seven-game streak.
Brittney Spalding and Chanelle Spalding have proved to be the voice of the Golden Eagle defense. Anchoring the corners at first and third, the twin sisters have remained steady forces offensively and defensively. Brittney leads the team with 11 extra-base hits, including three home runs. Chanelle holds a team-high .983 fielding percentage, collecting 216 putouts at first base.
Claudia Harke (5-7) has also seen increased time in the circle. The right-hander has thrown 67 innings and two conference shutouts.
Tech's seniors are joined by strong sophomore and junior classes. Sophomores Angi Sakamoto and Hannah Eldridge have given clutch performances at the plate. Sakamoto has connected for two home runs in the past seven conference match-ups while Eldridge has also collected two long balls.
With a balanced line-up, Tech has utilized two players in the catcher and designated player positions. Juniors Kendall Hooper and Chelsea Burgess have turned into Tech's power hitters. Hooper averages a .390 slugging percentage, hitting a two-run homer in her last conference outing against Austin Peay. Burgess appears to be the Purple and Gold's ball magnet. The newcomer is currently on a six-game reached base streak, being hit by a pitch in four of Tech's last five contests.
The Golden Eagle coaching staff is no stranger to the OVC Tournament. Head coach Bonnie Bynum won the tournament championship her last three years as a Golden Eagle player. Assistant coach Terry Acheson has been on the staff for 13 of the programs 17 OVC Tournament appearances since the inaugural tournament in 1994.
All-Time Series
Tech vs.
SIUE: 3-4, The Cougars hold a slight edge over the Golden Eagles in the very brief series. All three of Tech's wins came in last year's three-game series in Cookeville. Tech won the games 4-2, 7-1 and 2-0.
EIU: 31-18, The two teams paired off for the first time in 1995. Tech has the advantage going into the 50th meeting. The Golden Eagles have not taken a series or doubleheader since 2007, but have had great success against the Panthers in the postseason. In 2010 and 2012 the Golden Eagles have defeated EIU to stay alive in the OVC Tournament. Last season, Tech won 3-1.

For the benefit of others who might view this thread:
SoIf you're concerned about security, you can use the stealth mode in Mac OS X to make it more difficult for attackers to find your computer. When stealth mode is enabled, your computer will not respond to "ping" requests and does not answer to connection attempts from a closed TCP or UDP.
1.Yes, if you want to have that form of security on your OS X system. Your network connection is supposedly more secure if no one from outside easily knows that your connection exists.
2. You should ask Apple about that, but not everyone needs to prevent others from pinging their computer. It would make it more difficult to troubleshoot certain types of network problems, I suppose.
3. Are you asking if that interferes somehow with your internet connection? Sure - it prevents a response by your system if someone from outside pings your IP address.
So, does that affect your internet performance (is that your real question, after all?)
Maybe someone else has tested for any speed differences, and will chime in here...
Bottom line for me - if you have a need for stealth mode, then turn it on....

I am not a supporter of any of the existing federal parties, including the Greens. But I am alarmed, and surprised, by how tightly the government now controls Parliament, how easily parties put their own interest ahead of the public interest, and how mean our public debate has become.Bring back Joe!
In Canadian parliament, party members MUST vote according to party dictates or be kicked out of their party in order to finish out their term as a powerless independent — unless one of the other parties will have them. So it really, really matters who the leader is because he or she will make the final call as to what the policy will be. I think more people decide which party to vote for based on who the leader is rather than who their MP will be.This isn't entirely true. During many votes in the House of Commons, MPs are free to vote as they wish. By tradition, the budget is a vote of confidence, and the government also cracks the whip on legislation it deems "important". This varies by party and leader.
To which Harper replied, "You like handcuffs?"To which I have only one response: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHH AAAAHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH AAAAHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH
"... so we're all in the bus, and Stephen Harper isn't in the bus, and we're all going after the communications people, saying 'Look, Stephen Harper stakes a lot of his reputation on the Afghanistan file - here's what happened, here's what your guy has said, yes he's been suspended, but we want to hear from Stephen Harper about this,' '-Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeah.'posted by Alvy Ampersand at 11:18 PM on September 12, 2008
So the bus goes up to the winery, we're waiting for Stephen Harper to come, and then we're all being told 'Well no, he's not going to comment,' y'know, and we're standing by the door where he's supposed to arrive, the bus pulls up - and the bus keeps going. He doesn't get off where the bus is supposed to stop, it goes to the yards in the back where there's supposed to be this photo op, so all the cameras move over to where the photo op was, and then you ended up with this weird, odd, freaky stand-off, where Stephen Harper was off in the wine fields having the 'photo op', and these cameras are waiting for him to come out - and not moving, so Stephen Harper doesn't move, so it's just, tick, tick, tick, tick, and then the RCMP came in and were sort of told to push the cameras - move the cameras away, and they actually came up to the cameras and started moving [Makes pushy motions], and you end up with this, y'know, bizarre scene where Stephen Harper's, y'know, campaigning for reelection for Prime Minister, is sort of standing sheepishly in the background, instead of coming up and just commenting on this, uh, while the police are just puching the media away, uh... it just seemed kinda unseemly, all because of this - again, because of this e-mail that went out from his communications officer."

Windows Vista: System Event Notification Service ?
|Share this thread:
May11-09, 03:25 PM
Please Help !
My HP running Vista Home Basic suddenly gave me the following error message on startup: "Failed to connect to a Windows service: Could not connect to System Event Notification Service".
Among other things, this prevents me from connecting to my internet network, so I can't get on-line.
Rebooting did not help.
Following the google search I used an elevated command prompt (click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator) and typing "NETSH WINSOCK RESET ", then press the Enter key, and then restart the computer.
I still cannot access my internet network, instead of not connection now I get the message "unidentified network" and I still cannot go online although there I have some Mbs
It sais (I do not understand this text )
"What netsh winsock reset command does are it resets Winsock Catalog to a clean state or default configuration. It removes all Winsock LSP (Layered Service Providers) previously installed, including the potential malfunctioned LSP that causes loss of network packets transmission failure. So all previously-installed LSPs must be reinstalled. This command does not affect Winsock Name Space Provider entries."
Please help me with the next step in order to be able to go online from my computer.
Thank you!

Ask the Car Insurance Expert
Which insurance coverage pays for damage to my own vehicle if I'm at fault in an accident?
Collision insurance pays for repairs to or replacement of your vehicle when it's damaged in a traffic accident, regardless of who was at fault. Liability insurance, which is required by most states, pays for damage you do to other people and their property.
[Let Insure.com help you find affordable car insurance now.]
Like comprehensive insurance, collision is an optional form of coverage. (Comprehensive covers theft of your vehicle or damage to it from causes other than traffic accidents, including vandalism, theft, natural disasters and collisions with animals.)
Both types of coverage include a deductible. If the deductible is $500, for instance, and it costs $3,000 to repair your car after an accident, the insurance company will pay $2,500. However, if someone else causes the accident, your insurance company will work with the other driver's insurer to recover its costs and your deductible. This process is called subrogation.
Collision and comprehensive insurance are highly recommended for any vehicle of significant value. If you finance the purchase of a new car with a loan, your lender generally will require the coverage.
You can save money on car insurance rates by raising the deductible on collision and comprehensive to $1,000 or more. If you go that route, make sure to set aside money in a savings account to cover the deductible in case you get into an accident and have to make a claim.
For older cars that have lost most of their value, it often makes sense to drop collision and comprehensive insurance. When repair costs exceed the value of the car, the insurance company declares the vehicle a total loss and pays you the amount the car is worth, minus the deductible. There's no use paying a premium for collision and comprehensive when the maximum payout would be minimal.
For more, see Car insurance basics.

CATEGORY: Short Film (Live Action)
INTERVIEW WITH: Terry George and Oorlagh George
FILM: "The Shore"
Q. Congratulations to the two of you. And Terry, I just want to ask you first in your acceptance speech, you said you wanted to dedicate this to the people of northern Ireland. And I wanted to ask you to reflect on the time that you wrote IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, would it have been possible to write a film like this then? And also, Oorlagh, I'd like you to talk about working with your father and the challenges of making this movie.
A. [Terry George] Well, this is sort of the bookend of three movies that Jim Sheridan and I did. This is the book end of IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SOME MOTHER'S SON, THE BOXER and now the peace has taken hold, and this little film is about reconciliation, peace and people coming together. So for me it's the book end of that situation.
The winner is? Hold on. Surprise, surprise. So Oorlagh.
A. [Oorlagh George] It was a wonderful experience. The biggest challenge we had was that we shot in a the bay and twice a day we all picked up the camera equipment and ran in and out so Ciaran Hinds and all of our actors, Conleth Hill, were literally grabbing camera gear and running. And like my dad said, we just wanted to tell one of the little stories of personal reconciliation that goes along with the national reconciliation. So it was a thrill this [unintelligible] movie coming full circle.
Q. Hi.
A. Hello.
Q. I actually was one of the producers for GOD OF LOVE that won this category last year.
A. [Oorlagh George] Oh, yeah.
Q. So my question for guys is are you ready for the ride of your life starting tonight?
A. [Terry George] I actually thought it had happened already, but I'll take your word for it.
Q. You should take those and get them developed.
A. [Terry George] I'm going fishing tomorrow.
Q. Well, party tonight. Congratulations.
A. [Terry George] Thank you.
A. [Oorlagh George] Thank you.
Q. I wondered how you plan to celebrate when you get home with family and friends? What message would you like to send to them right now?
A. [Terry George] Well, I'm going to go back to the little village where we shot this. Already tonight they had an Oscar party at a place called The Anchor Bar, so I'm going to return with the prize, and then hopefully use it to promote, not just the peace process in northern Ireland, but tourism and everything that's going on there. So I hope that this is just a reaffirmation that things have changed there and that we're trying to move on and it's a great place to be.
Q. Thank you.

Today we celebrated our son's okuizome (お食い初め), a Japanese tradition to ensure a long and healthy life. Like in most parts of Japan, we decided to do it on the boy's 100th day since birth. Clad in Japanese attire, this was how excited he was before the ceremony:
Yoko had spent much of the day cooking all the right dishes for this occasion, using special ingredients that are not necessarily commonplace in Sweden but that we had managed to procure in various places over the last few days. Here's how it turned out:
Traditionally, the meal consists of grilled sea bream, braised chicken, red sticky rice with beans, clear soup, pickles and vegetables. We added strawberries (for color) and the pastry that looks like a frog (because our boy's nickname is "Little Frog"). Oh, and that smallest dish contains three pebbles.
Pebbles? — Yes, pebbles. In the ceremony, one of these small stones is picked up with the chopsticks, which are then brought to the infant's mouth to signify a wish that he always be equipped with good strong teeth.
Yeah, that's a bit weird. But this tradition stems from the 8th century, and a period that also gave rise to the freaking samurai, so I'm willing to cut it some slack.
After this, still with the chopsticks, the infant is offered, in turn, red rice, soup, rice again, a piece of fish, and finally rice for a third time. The whole procedure is repeated three times. Of course, the child doesn't actually eat anything; the food merely touches his lips in a symbolic gesture. In this case, it's an expression of hope that the child never want for food.
After all this excitement, our boy had some milk and a nap, and we adults ate of the ceremonial food.
Our family in Japan have been at the Nekoma hotel in Aizuwakamatsu since early April. Over time, more and more evacuated families have left, some to newly constructed temporary housing, some to other hotels. Today, it was time for mamasan and Kenji-san to pack up all their belongings and switch hotels. (And clean their room; evacuees are of course not being given full service at the hotels.)
If I understand correctly, their new hotel is called Chiyotaki and is one of a group of hotels in (or closer to) the town of Aizuwakamatsu (which is normally a tourist destination, which is why it has so many hotels). Their new room is considerably smaller than their earlier one but mamasan sounds mostly positive. Still no word, though, on when they will be able to move to temporary housing, and neither mamasan nor Kenji-san knows when or if they will have jobs to return to (but they do know that Kenji-san's unemployment benefits end in August). If they will ever be able to move back to their house, my guess is that it will be at least a couple of years before that can happen.
Here are a few photos from inside the new hotel:
Yesterday, mamasan and Kenji-san boarded a bus that took them for a brief visit to their house. For mamasan, this was the first time she saw the house since March 11, the day of the earthquake. Kenji-san had been allowed to go back and pick up their car a few days ago. From the outside, the little garden and the house look pretty normal:
Inside was a different story. The quake itself had of course toppled things over and also collapsed an interior wall. Over the past four and a half months, various animals had gotten into the house, rummaging around for anything edible, breaking things, leaving droppings everywhere. Some animals had died inside the house, spreading a foul smell. Mamasan said it was so bad, she couldn't bring herself to take any pictures. They were now able to close all doors and windows; some had been left open all this time because they left in such a hurry.
Every evacuee — or every family, I'm not sure — is allowed to bring a 70-by-70-cm plastic bag's worth of personal belongings from his/her house. Mamasan mentioned picking up a couple of photos of her daughters.
As seen on Kenji-san in the photo above, they were required to wear some protective gear, but unlike some who had been allowed to return to their houses earlier, they did not have to wear full hazmat suits the whole time. Upon returning from the forbidden zone, everything brought back was inspected for radioactive contamination.
Like I said, Kenji-san was allowed to go back and pick up their car a few days ago. This surprised me since I had imagined that a car would have too many air filters, porous materials, nooks and crannies and various places where radioactive dust might collect. It had to be thoroughly washed twice and was then deemed fit for use.
I can't imagine what it must be like to go back to one's house, seeing it half-destroyed and full of stinking carcasses; to only be allowed to pick up a few belongings, leaving all the other bits and pieces of one's life behind; to then have to leave it again, not knowing when or if one will be able to return. For the first time since the earthquake, that I've heard of, mamasan said:
"At least we're alive."
We got these pictures from mamasan today. Their temporary house is what the Japanese call a "2DK," meaning "two rooms and a dining room kitchen." No word yet on when they will be moving in — or, of course, how long they should expect to stay there.
Kyodo News tweeted this morning that the number of foreign visitors to Japan dropped 62.5% in April. This, if true, is a shame, because the ailing Japanese economy (which was already in terrible shape before the earthquake) really could do with the money those visitors would have spent. A lot of them probably stayed away out of a fear of radiation. That's worse, because then they stayed away unnecessarily.
Most foreign visitors go to Tokyo or Kyoto. Both these places are well out of the way of the radiation from the Fukushima power plant.
But haven't elevated levels of radiation been detected in Tokyo? — Yes, but the levels are still much much lower than, for example, what you would be exposed to on a perfectly typical flight on a perfectly normal passenger plane. See, for example, this graph showing the levels of radiation detected throughout a business trip to Japan. The radiation in Tokyo is barely noticeable next to the huge spikes during the times the traveler was sitting on a plane. And those spikes would of course have looked the same if he had flown somewhere else instead.
If you don't feel comfortable going to Japan right now after all that has happened there recently, sure, don't go. (But do go later — Japan is an absolutely fascinating country.) Just don't stay away because you're afraid of being exposed to radiation. Living on Earth, we're exposed to radiation all the time, from both natural and artificial sources, and a visit to, say, Tokyo would barely register next to everything else that you are already exposed to and that is very unlikely to have any impact on your health. For a bit of perspective, here's a nice visualization of radiation from various sources.

Everybody, who has actually tried to get rid of some lbs, has tried to do this with coffee. Green Coffee Bean Extract are abundant with chlorogenic acidity, that's the material that limits the sugar absorption in the being, leaving you thinner and fitter. Nevertheless, coffee has unfavorable side effects. Following the 2nd cup, you begin feeling annoyed and searching for another coffee store for a refill. The Green Coffee Bean Extract does not have damaging side effects, which is exactly why this weight-loss wonder is just one of the very powerful and healthful diet plans you may rely on.
Green Coffee Pills: Do They Really Work?
According to some press sources, this diet may replace every nutritional powder, tablet or plant you are now utilizing. The results of coffee still use, but rather of coping with the shakiness later, the Green Coffee Diet will not leave you feeling irritable. Green coffee will be as normal coffee the same item, just perhaps not roasted. They breakdown the number of chlorogenic acid they comprise, leaving you having a little percent of the acid, after the green beans are roasting. Research was produced in North Park, where ladies and 16 males with weight-loss difficulties attempted the dietary plan and the outcomes were amazing. All individuals who utilized this nutritional supplement lost around 17 lbs in 22 days.
Normal coffee could be created with different quality, via all areas of the planet and of different coffee beans. The Green Coffee Weight Reduction extract is manufactured from 100% Arabica beans and rather than roasted them, they get drenched. Several ingredients are destroyed, whenever you roast the beans or their number is decreased to minimal. You'll observe this extract does not possess the flavor of normal coffee, whenever you decide to try this supplement, but the stop that restores you following a mug of coffee may continue to be there.
The individuals in the research said that they're really sour, so it'll be better if you consider them before the food with tons of water. There have been no negative effects reported and it's assured which you'll not experience anything less than energized, amusing, recharged and prepared to bring in a Nobel price. Starbucks sells coffees with this particular extract, marketing it because the finest power source without its particular unwanted effects and the coffee taste, if you're not a supporter of supplements.Saule Health continues to be an ability on vitamins and nourishment for more than 5 years. Addressing issues from diet and weight-loss to common wellbeing.
Exactly What Are Green Coffee Pills?
These are small capsules that are packed with what is called green coffee bean extract, that is created from green coffee beans before they have been roasting. The reason these work to help with weight loss once your morning pot of coffee does not do you any favors is because the cooking process almost burns all of the anti-oxidants from the beans, leaving them worthless as much as weight loss goes.
Is This the Right Product for You?
When you have fought with your weight in the recent past and you want to give the greatest chance to your-self to reduce this period to weight, then the energy of green coffee bean extract supplements and chlorogenic acid might be just the thing you require. With a warranty, there's absolutely no risk to you, and it works, then perhaps it truly does for you, too if the large daytime physician claims!

Classic Diner Recipe: Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese
Chef Trevor Rudd of City State Diner in Portland, Oregon walks us through one of America's most beloved diner specials, the wedge salad. You know you want to find out the secrets behind this iconic dish!
I have a serious thing for diners and their intrinsic Americana nostalgia. Sometimes the food isn't even so hot, but I still pop in for a basic sandwich and cup of mediocre coffee every now and again.
City State Diner, in Portland, Oregon, defies the so-so food conundrum of most diners and triumphs with big, fresh flavors. One of my favorite items on the menu is the texture and temperature play of contrasts that is the Wedge Salad. A large wedge of cold iceberg lettuce, tangy buttermilk dressing, sharp red onions, crusty croutons and bacon (or in my vegetarian case, fried tofu) — oh my! This salad is rich yet light and crunchy yet soft. Perhaps it's the yin and yang of diner foods?
Trevor Rudd, head chef at City State Diner, happily shares his recipe for the Wedge Salad with us today. After trying my hand at making this at home, I can attest that the success of this old-school dish is all in the details. Trevor's tips and recipe help us home cooks recreate a beloved (and sort of naughty!) diner favorite. This salad would be a great starter at your next dinner party or make a scrumptious addition to any summer barbeque. Dig in!
Do you ever order this type of salad? Will you be following this recipe anytime soon?
For the croutons:
2 to 3 slices thick bread (preferably challah or other egg bread)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
Heat the oven to 400°F. Cut the bread in medium to large cubes. Place them in a large bowl. Drizzle the oil evenly over the bread, tossing as you go. Make sure not to soak any one piece, as that will make for a soggy crouton or two and will keep the seasoning from sticking to the rest of them. (If you have an olive oil sprayer, that is ideal to get light oil coverage on all the bread.)
Mix the thyme, white pepper, salt, and garlic together. Add this dry mix to the bread and toss to coat evenly. Spread the bread cubes in one layer on on a baking pan and bake in 5-minute intervals until they are nicely browned. (Total baking time will vary depending on your oven and the type of bread you use.) Make sure to check frequently so the croutons don't burn.
Remove the croutons from the oven and let cool.
For the blue cheese dressing:
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese, softened
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1/4 cup chopped chives
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper
Whisk all ingredients together until mixture is smooth and well-combined.
For the bacon:
3 to 4 strips thick cut pepper bacon
1/4 cup brown sugar
Spread the bacon strips on a baking sheet. Bake the bacon in the oven at 400°F for roughly 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle the brown sugar liberally over the hot bacon and place back in the oven for 3 to 5 more minutes or until the sugar has visibly "candied" the meat. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
For the fried tofu (as a vegetarian replacement for the bacon):
2 to 3 ounces extra firm tofu
Olive oil
Heat a saucepan with about a half inch of oil on medium high heat until a drop of water "pops" when added (or to about 350 degrees). If you have a home fryer, use that instead.
Drain the tofu and cut into 1/2-inch x 1/2-inch cubes. Place enough cornstarch in a bowl to toss the tofu in. Toss the tofu in the cornstarch until nicely coated but not clumpy. Add tofu to the hot oil and fry until golden.
(Note: this cornstarch method is by far superior to any other way I have tried to fry tofu.)
To build the salad:
1/2 head iceberg lettuce
1 large tomato
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/2 cup slivered red onion
Blue cheese dressing
Chopped bacon or fried tofu
2 tablespoons chives, or chopped fresh parsley to garnish.
Cut the lettuce into two equal wedges and place on two plates. Pour enough dressing over the lettuce to get good coverage. Cut the tomato into wedges and distribute evenly between the two plates. Sprinkle the blue cheese over this and add the slivered onion, bacon or tofu, and croutons. Garnish with chives or parsley and enjoy immediately.

Mmm, thanks for mentioning fried tofu as a replacement for the bacon! (Nothing can ever quite replace bacon, but it's great to have options built right into the recipe.) I love quick-fried cornstarch-dredged tofu, but I'm not sure I would have thought to use it here, so I doubly appreciate the nudge.
I have one suggestion: try adding a hefty dose of smoked paprika to the cornstarch. It will give the fried tofu a deep, smoky richness that hits some of the same notes as bacon, mimicking the flavor as well as the crispy savoriness.
Thanks Elsa. Adding smoked paprika to the cornstarch dredge would indeed be a wonderful addition to mock the bacon flavor.
Hmm, nope. Not a big fan of wedge salads. I love big salads ala Seinfeld, but I just can't eat iceberg lettuce anymore. That's all we ate when I was a kid!
this salad looks WAY better than any I've seen in a restaurant...seriously contemplating changing my dinner plan to accommodate this tonight :)
This looks so delicious. I'm glad to see a tofu option in place of the bacon, too.
Huh, I've actually only been there for brunch so far since they opened. Looks like I'll have to check them out for dinner.
This recipe makes me regret the fact that I already made dinner for tonight. This is perfect for a light summer meal on the patio.
I made this tonight because it haunted my thoughts all afternoon. I eschewed iceberg for many years but have come to love it's crisp, nostalgic quality. I like my leafy lettuces too, but it's nice to have a wedge occasionally. It was delightful on a brutally hot day.
Also, keep the salad plate chilled. There's something about a very, very cold iceberg wedge that improves the salad.
I love wedge salads, but this one looks over the top wonderful. I'm either going to make the recipe soon or head down to Portland to City State Diner!

Gram Cracker Stove Height
I am making a wire mesh pot stand for use with a Gram Cracker stove (the stove is on order) and a Fosters pot. I was wondering if any Gram Cracker owners could give me the dimensions of the stove. I am trying to determine the height of the pot stand, which from what I have read is somewhere around 1.75" from the top of the tab. Any help would be appreciated.Robert
With the side panels one way, mine measures 1.7" tall. With the side panels the other way, mine measures 1.3" tall. With the side panels off, the top of the Esbit cube is about 1" and sits about 0.7" off the ground.--B.G.--
BobThat was just what I needed. Thanks

Doctor Who: The Adventure Games Crash
Doctor Who: The Adventure Games has crashed.
It has failed to load, lagged, suffered from massive frame drops and finally been given the red ring of death by the BBC who have announced they're to shelve the gaming series to concentrate on other Doctor Who gaming projects.
Sounding a lot like a distracted gamer attempting to play and maintain a tenuous: 'Yeah, I'm listening' grip on reality Executive Producer Simon Harris has promised that there will be other Doctor Who gaming adventures, just not right now, maybe later – okay?
"Obviously we've got the browser-based MMO Doctor Who: Worlds In Time, we have other plans for other platforms and formats and we'll be announcing those.
"But right now The Adventure Games have done a great job, and they've been done, we're now going to move forward with the The Eternity Clock and we'll continue to develop those plans as we go ahead."
Worried that this might mean the end of public service content from the Beeb? Concerned that the Adventure Games – who villains have included Daleks, Cybermen, Vashta Nerada and Sontarans – were nothing more than the BBC testing the market for a 'proper' Doctor Who game? This probably won't help matters:
"There's a question about now BBC Worldwide is focusing and investing in these developments, that providing audience expansion and providing something that's going to hopefully broaden the Doctor Who audience.
"That's something we're going to pick up on in gaming for the foreseeable future, and the team down in Cardiff are going to concentrate on some other things – which I've seen some of their ideas they haven't announced yet – but there is going to be some cool things around that to continue developing what they do around public service, around audience expansion for the UK licence payers."
Why after the success of The Adventure Games are the BBC still insisting that gamers and Doctor Who fans (i.e the UK licence payer) are two mutually exclusive entities?
The biggest potential market isn't those people who have never heard of Doctor Who but those who want to play a good game. It is Doctor Who fans who want to see a great game that matches their expectations of what could be achieved within this medium.
Conversely, the market for non-gaming Doctor Who fans isn't likely to buy a console (if that's what 'format and platforms' infers) just because there's a game of their favourite show for it. Who brought a Wii just for Return to Earth?
Sure, the gaming world isn't limited to just consoles and BBC Worldwide have a remit to explore such ventures like online and mobile games for economic viability but this is surely a publishing exclusivity issue, rather than one of development.
So instead of calling The Adventure Games an experiment and naturally dovetailing it as part of an ongoing exploration of the gaming market – the Beeb have canned it only a few months after announcing a second series of games kicking off with The Gunpowder Plot.
It hardly screams confidence in developing that side of their gaming expansion plans. If anything, it feels like the license payer is being pushed into a niche that they just don't belong in. Again gamers and licence payers are not mutually exclusive.
It seems like the idea of developing a really good Doctor Who game has gotten lost in the idea of just developing games.
Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock which offers continuous play between PS3, PlayStation Vita and DLC, is available next month.
12 Responses to Doctor Who: The Adventure Games Crash
Though I've only had time to play a bit of the first Adventure Game, this is terrible news (but a great article). I plan to download them all, because the quality looked fantastic. I suppose it was always going to go this way, though. Massive shame.
I can't even play The Eternity Clock, as I've only got a Wii. And Return to Earth can be a bit annoying…
Game develeopment is expensive.
BBC are cutting costs.
BBC make no money from Adventure Games.
BBC cut Adventure Games.
Not super-hard to understand, and not really worth railing against…
I keep looking at the Lego games, and think its an excellent fit for Doctor Who. You have the variety of characters, storylines, and music that the Lego games format uses. Come on BBC, get together with Ty games and make it happen.
It won't happen until Doctor Who really takes off on a global basis – that means big viewing figures in America, Japan etc for it to be a worthwhile licence buy – first of all for Lego and then to develop as a game.
No one is going to spend big money on developing a multi-platform Lego game unless they know they know they are going to get their money back. At the moment Who is simply not big enough globally unlike other Lego games such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Batman, HArry Potter and Pirates of the Caribbean.
One of the ways this could be changed though is a Who movie happens – that would be the perfect time for such a game to tie in with its release.
Yeah, I've asked Lego a couple of times to do Who (through work as a buyer, not just as a random ringing up!!!) and they ain't interested as it 'doesn't have the same blobal presence as their other properties'.
Global, even.
Game development IS expensive. New models, new scripts, new voice and sound recordings, new animations, new marketing, etc. Even with reuse of textures, each game WILL cost a lot. You cannot disagree here if you know anything about creating videogames.
I'm guessing someone has done a P&L and seen that DWTAG doesn't wash its face, and canned it rather than continue with an unprofitable or low-profit enterprise. Either that, or there is a non-competition clause they must adhere to to allow the newest console games to be launched unchallenged by free 'alternatives'.

Jenn Harris and Matthew Wilkas in Gayby
Festival circuit favorite Gayby opens in limited release on Friday, October 12th. The film's subject: a gay man and his female best friend decide to have a baby together. Producers shared this clip exclusively for AfterElton readers featuring Matthew Wilkas as "Matt", writer/director Jonathan Lisecki as "Nelson" and Mike Doyle as "Scott", the potential new guy in Matt's life.
From the film's press kit…
Jenn and Matt are best friends from college who are now in their thirties. Fed up with the New York dating scene and single by choice, Jenn spends her days teaching 'hot yoga' and running errands for her boss. Matt, unable to get over his ex-boyfriend, has withdrawn into his comic-bookstore job and has stopped pursuing his dream of being a graphic novelist.
When Jenn proposes that they have a baby together, it seems like the right idea at the right time. With Jenn untrusting of fertility doctors, and Matt boastful of being "a guy" and able to have sex with anyone, they decide to fulfill a youthful promise to have a child together…the old-fashioned way.
Can they navigate the serious and unexpected snags they hit as they attempt to get their careers and dating lives back on track in preparation for parenthood? Gayby is an irreverent comedy about friendship, growing older, sex, loneliness, and the family you chose.
We'll have an interview with actor Matthew Wilkas next week. Gayby opens at Cinema Village in NYC on October 12th, and in LA on October 26th. For more info on visit the official website.

"Dismiss whatever insults your own soul."
Douglass Truth
"Dismiss whatever insults your own soul."
"[Research] points to an alternative approach [to happiness]: a 'negative path' to happiness that entails taking a radically different stance towards those things most of us spend our lives trying hard to avoid. This involves learning to enjoy uncertainty, embracing insecurity and becoming familiar with failure. In order to be truly happy, it turns out, we might actually need to be willing to experience more negative emotions – or, at the very least, to stop running quite so hard from them."
"Happiness is a by-product of function."
"One reads thousands of books, of poets, modern and ancient, as one meets thousands of people. What remains of it all is hard to tell."
Every moment is a key moment. Each one might be the last.
"Our calculations lead us to the unwelcome conclusion that the fate of the world really does depend on our momentary condition, on, say, whether we're cranky driving to work, or have a kind word for a clerk. How much easier it would be to know that we can be as irresponsible as we want and that only we would suffer the consequences."

Saving and Investing: What is a Mutual Fund?
Published on - April 17th, 2007 (by J.D. Roth)
This is part twelve in a series that will occupy the "money hacks" slot at Get Rich Slowly during April, which is National Financial Literacy Month.
As an individual investor, you can build a portfolio of stocks and bonds, but to do so properly requires time and effort. For most people, it makes more sense to invest in mutual funds. But what is a mutual fund? Michael Fischer explains:
What is a mutual fund? (3:44)
A mutual fund allows individual investors like you and me to pool our money in order to achieve investment goals that would otherwise be out of our reach. When thousands of people combine their buying power, they're able to buy a wider range of stocks (and other assets), achieving levels of diversification that otherwise would be impossible. This sort of co-operation also allows the shareholders to "hire" a professional to manage the money. (This may or may not be a good thing — we're often told that "80% of professional money managers fail to beat the market".)
Where did mutual funds come from? According to this Investopedia article, their origins are sketchy. Some people cite King William I of the Netherlands, who in 1822 created an investment company resembling a modern-day mutual fund. From that point, the concept of pooled investments spread to Switzerland, Scotland, Great Britain, and France. Similar companies bean to appear in the U.S. at the end of the nineteenth century, but the first actual mutual fund was the Massachusetts Investors' Trust, founded in 1924.
Index funds, which Michael will discuss tomorrow, were created in 1971, and popularized by John Bogle, the founder of The Vanguard Group.
CNN Money has an entire section devoted to mutual funds. Business Week offers a free on-line mutual fund scorecard. Yahoo! Finance offers a variety of mutual-fund tools to help you find one that is right for you.
Michael Fischer spent nine years at Goldman Sachs, advising some of the largest private banks, mutual fund companies and hedge funds in the world on investment choices. Look for more episodes of Saving and Investing at Get Rich Slowly every weekday during the month of April. For more information, visit Michael's site, Saving and Investing, or purchase his book.
This article is about Basics, Money Hacks
I hope you are going to talk about ETFs….? ETFs make way more sense for long term taxable accounts (think non-retirement accounts where you are investing, say, your annual bonus all at once).
Mutual funds are great for dollar cost averaging scenarios, such as funding a 401k, but otherwise anymore it's hard for a mutual fund to make sense over and ETF
That also applies to index mutual funds vs. ETFs…
Mutual funds aren't so bad actually, as there are many mutual funds that are pretty good. ETFs are more tax efficient but does not always mean a better return so take a look at the mutual funds also.
[...] Michael Fischer introduced us to mutual funds. Next, he described the various types. Today he looks at the difference between actively- and [...]
[...] What is a mutual fund? [...]
does anyone have advice on which retirement firm to invest in for a traditional ira.

William W. Wirtz Allocates $19.5 Million to Northwestern Memorial for Cancer Care and Research
Subscribe to our RSS feed
The-late William W. Wirtz earmarked millions to advance research and enhance cancer treatment
Northwestern Memorial Foundation today announced the inception of the William W. Wirtz Cancer Innovation Fund, a new initiative in support of continued research and clinical advancements within the Robert H. Lurie Comprehensive Cancer Center of Northwestern University at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. The late William W. Wirtz designated more than $19.5 million to seed the program prior to his passing in 2007. This generous commitment from the well-known businessman, sportsman, and philanthropic contributor was recently made public.
"Our father was involved in many philanthropic endeavors during his lifetime," the five Wirtz Children (Rocky, Gail, Karey, Peter, and Alison) provided in a statement. "He has continued that legacy by arranging for Northwestern Memorial Hospital to receive a sizeable contribution that will allow it to enhance cancer programming at this world-class medical institution."
William W. Wirtz's philanthropic achievements were numerous throughout his lifetime with many of them unknown to the general public. He championed and spearheaded many charitable causes which included the establishment of Chicago Blackhawk Charities. Under William W. Wirtz's direction, Blackhawk Charities took part in programs that offered assistance to those with physical disabilities and efforts aimed at helping disadvantaged and abused children. Another charitable passion of the-late William W. Wirtz was his promotion of health and fitness to youth through national and regional hockey programs. During his tenure Chicago Blackhawks Charities granted more than $8 million to various organizations including the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago.
In recognition of William W. Wirtz's generosity, Northwestern Memorial formed this pivotal oncology fund in his honor. The William W. Wirtz Cancer Innovation Fund will support efforts to enhance patient access to a wide range of essential services for individuals with cancer; recruit leading physicians and physician-scientists specializing in cancer research and treatment; and allow Northwestern Memorial to remain at the vanguard of emerging technologies.
"We are grateful to Mr. Wirtz for his profound generosity," said Dean M. Harrison, president and chief executive officer of Northwestern Memorial HealthCare. "His gift, coupled with the vision of his family, will play an important and lasting role in helping to identify and develop novel new therapies and advance the care we provide to patients living with cancer."
The family further added, "Our father cared deeply about those who were stricken with cancer. We are proud and honored to carry on his wishes by being a part of this most worthy cause."

Back in her hotel room, dressed for the opening night of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, she 'put on a performance' for Feingersh, splashing Chanel No. 5 on herself. At other times, however, the strain of 'being Marilyn' was overwhelming. At a costume fitting for her guest appearance at a circus, Marilyn 'burst into tears of frustration', Robert Stein recalled. 'Eddie's camera got it all, showing her rising tension against a visual jangle of wire hangers in the background.'
