What Would Be the Ideal Cookbook for Your Kitchen?
I receive and skim through scores of cookbooks every year. As I plow through my pile each month it often leaves me feeling as if there's a glut of cookbooks on the market — do we really need a few dozen more every season? I've written a cookbook myself, and I still feel this way!
I'm curious what you think. Do you feel that you have all the cookbooks you need? Are you quite happy with Joy of Cooking, supplemented by the internet? Or do you grab up every cookbook you can afford (the more the merrier!)? Or, perhaps you feel like you haven't found quite the right cookbook to be the mainstay of your kitchen. Where do cookbooks fit in your cooking life?
Tell us!
Personally, I do feel as if there are always opportunities for new books, but I really love remembering and revisiting the classics. There are so many great writers and recipe developers from the past; let's not forget them amidst all the new things!
What about you? Are the cookbooks currently available a rich enough menu for you? Or are there books you wish you could have in your kitchen that don't seem to be out there?

My mom has a few hundred cook books, but she really only uses a couple on a regular basis. Gourmet Today (the green one) is consulted 2/3 of the time. My mother had to buy one each for me and my brother. We also use Jacques Pepin's recipes all the time.
Other than that, I'm in a recipe group on facebook with a number of people I was already trading recipes with. We often get the bases of our recipes out of cookbooks, online, or from relatives, then post them with all the modifications and substitutions that turned out well.
I love cookbooks that use simple, natural ingredients that I have on hand or can get easily. I have one book with recipes that need pine syrup. I don't even know what pine syrup is. I'm currently reading Amy Pennington's cookbook The Urban Pantry. Love it!
@hungryMom we have a feature with Amy coming up really soon!
I could live off of the Ottolenghi cookbooks...but I just can't resist new ones!!
As a beginner / basic cook I vote for the classics. But internet recipes are definitely #1.
I've been given various themed cookbooks over the last 5 years (bread, slow cooker, vegetarian, regional, etc) and just received The Joy of Cooking and the BHG cookbook for Christmas this year. I gotta say, I've found more to cook in those 2 cookbooks than any of the others. Plus when I have any ideas of my own they tend to be simple, like "I want to make chicken and mushrooms!" or "I want to make pancakes!" and the Joy of Cooking has what I need.
I'm an avid cookbook reader/collector, although I've had to pare down in my smaller dwelling ... one of the tools which has helped me get a lot more value from my books is Eat Your Books http://www.eatyourbooks.com/home - This online utility helps you search through your existing books for recipes you may be looking for. For instance if you have lots of mushrooms, some bacon and cream you can do a search for recipes containing those ingredients from the books you already have on your shelf.
This has helped me use books I'd almost forgotten I had, reintroducing me to old friends and new.
I think I'm a lot more discerning about which books I add to my library - there really isn't room for something I'm not going to use. I often borrow from my local library to test-drive a book I'm not sure of or am unfamiliar with. My most recent addition is Tender II - Nigel Slater's book about fruit.
Alton Brown's books "I'm Just Here For The Food" 1 & 2 are great references. Rather than being repositories of recipes they are descriptions of techniques, and explainations of WHY certain things work and don't work. The Joy of Cooking. And, although I don't have it yet, I'm very interested to see the new America's Test Kitchen cookbook.
I get a LOT of mileage out of the America's Test Kitchen "The New Best Recipe" cookbook. Beyond that I have the King Arthur Flour "Baker's Companion". R&B (JoC), magazines, and the internet to fill in the cracks. The rest of my cookbooks stay in the garage and are referenced every few months.
I love Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, since it provides a good variety of recipes that range from simple to complex (and suggests a number of helpful variations).
I tend to use blogs to supplement the rest of what I do. I would love to hear about any cookbooks that provide simple / quick recipes, though!
Bittman, How to Cook Everything
Gourmet Today
Joy of Cooking
The rest is commentary.
I love cookbooks and I would buy a lot more if I let myself. But the truth is, a good 80% of my recipes, book or internet, are clutter. I don't have room, I haven't made them yet, I made them once and probably never will again, etc. I always find myself hanging out in the cookbook section of bookstores, and then I reluctantly put them back on the shelf.
I'm also a big fan of On Food And Cooking by Harold McGee. I have to make a lot of dietary substitutions, and this book explains a lot of the science. I don't know for sure, but I bet it's one of the sources used on Good Eats.
I always have room for more cookbooks (though I donate the Rachael Rays my mom keeps getting me...)! I love my OG (Original Gangsta, I mean, Gourmet), MAOFC, and my roommate's vintage Betty Crocker. My newest love is Joanne Chang's Flour, though I'm a bit biased... roommate is a baker at Flour and a server at Myers + Chang.
I feel kinda the same as Faith--and I wrote a cookbook too! The basics are the basics--Joy of Cooking, for me.
I don't usually use recipes off the Internet. They're usually pretty sloppily written, and I typically don't know the tastes of whoever's writing them well enough to know if they'll jibe with my own. (I made some Food52 recipes at Thanksgiving, and _bleh_. All too sweet. I had no way of knowing this because I had no real background or context for the people.)
Cookstr is a great online source, at least as a base--recipes are all from cookbooks, and for a lot of them, I at least have a good idea of the taste of the author.
The Rick Bayless Mexican Everyday cookbook in my household has been thumbed through and cooked through so much that I think I need to replace it. I have a few other books that I reference from time to time, but I mostly collect recipes and compile them into a box. I have go-to recipes for everything from pancakes to curry to my mother's kimchi.
I love my cookbook collection (though I'm definitely running out of room for it) of approx. 100 volumes and counting. Most of the recipes I try come from about 15 of these (The Barefoot Contessa books, Giada De Laurentiis' books, The New Basics Cookbook by Sheila Lukins & Julee Rosso, The Complete Italian Vegetarian Cookbook by Jack Bishop, the Rosie's Bakery Baking and Cookie Cookbooks, Martha Stewart's Baking). I love most of the others just as much but use them less frequently.
I also subscribe to Bon Appetit and Food & Wine and like trying their stuff.
I'm using the internet/cooking blogs more and more (epicurious, Kitchn, Smitten Kitchen, etc) though there's something about having a book or magazine opened up in front of me that beats squinting at my computer monitor or a printout.
I also like the Joy of Cooking for the basics. I use the internet (Allrecipes.com) and have many church/organizations cookbooks that have some gems in them.
I rent cookbooks mostly through the Library and my Bookswim account before I make a commitment to purchase.
Otherwise, I refer to my basics - e.g. Donna Hay's Instant Cook or Off the Pantry.
Oh, and Cook's Illustrated. Even if I don't always agree with their taste, they give enough explanation of their recipes that I know why each ingredient is in there, so if I want to tweak it, I know exactly what will happen.
My mom has cookbooks wall to wall. The funny thing is she reads each book once, gets the gist of the ideas and the combination of ingredients and then never goes back to it. I can't handle it. I'm definitely a internet girl. I love Googleing the ingredients i have to see what is out there for me to make with them. I also find the internet is easier for finds recipes that are in your skill and taste level.
I would love cookbooks that are like knitting books, where they tell you the different amounts for amount of people - for instance, if there's a recipe for stew and you want to make it for 2-8 people, it could say in parentheses: onions 2 (4, 5, 6) or similar.
Also I want to know for every recipe - can you store this, freeze this, etc.
How To Cook Everything
On Food and Cooking
plus a handful of ethnic cookbooks (Child for French, Hazan for Italian, Jaffrey for Indian, Dunlop for Sichuan) and Cooks Illustrated online
I am a huge fan of Elizabeth David's books but for everyday, all the time cooking, the one I'm using now is Alice Waters The Art of Simple Food. Everything from this book is simple indeed and utterly delicious!
I love reading cookbooks and I have about 50. I have also borrowed many more from my local library and scribbled recipes down in notebooks. However, the ones I keep returning to time after time are:
How To Eat by Nigella Lawson
River Cottage Everyday by Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall
Real Cooking by Nigel Slater.
...and The Kitchen Diaries by Nigel Slater
I have a ton of cookbooks and still more on my wishlist.. i don't always go to them for recipes, but I love flipping through them for ideas. And I love the publishing quality and photographs. I also like to have them to know that if there was something I wanted to make... I have a library to look through for how to. But.. my "go-to" cookbooks are Martha Stewart's Cooking School, Mark Bittman's How to Cook Everything, and Thomas Keller's Ad Hoc At Home.
I've pared down my cookbook collection the past few years. Here are a few that made the cut;
The first Silver Plate cookbook (for Marabella Chicken anyone?)
A 1970's era Joy of Cooking
Both of Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking collections (for reading as well as cooking)
A binder full of pages from newspapers or magazine, or printed from some online source.
Everyone who loves to cook will enjoy reading and cooking from Laurie Colwin's Home Cooking and More Home Cooking.
I have to use multiple cookbooks. I have to say, I've learned incredibly simple but impactful techniques from chef books like Zuni Cafe. When it comes to simple/traditional recipes I often turn to JOC. Marcella Hazan and Biba are mainstays for Italian. I also love using Fine Cooking magazine as a reference. Of course, I have a gazillion cookbooks that I rarely look at, including The Silver Spoon and Gastronomique. Oh well...I like having them "just in case."
I'm currently loving Dorie Greenspan's new cookbook, "Around My French Table," - so many lovely and yummy things. I also love Judith Jones' "The Pleasure of Cooking for One" and Molly Wizenberg's "A Homemade Life." Like Laurie Colwin, the stories of these women's lives beautifully frame the delicious recipes.
@lella -- so true! I love Laurie Colwin.
I take out new cookbooks from the library to try. If I love them, I buy them. By reading them and cooking, I'm learning more and more what I like to cook and eat. Most cookbooks are beautiful, but if they don't suit my lifestyle, it doesn't really make good sense to me to invest in one.
For me:
How to Roast a Lamb by Michael Psilakis
Super Natural Cooking by Heidi Swanson
Anything by Laura Calder
Anything by Ina Garten
In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite by Melissa Clark
And of course great resources like TheKitchn, Bon Appetit magazine (though honestly a lot less so these days!), and blogs like Orangette, Smitten Kitchen, Simply Recipes, 101 Cookbooks, Bitchin' Camero, etc.
my iPad, google documents (where I keep my recipes) and the internet as a backup.
Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone is very close to my ideal cookbook. I love how the book is organized, that's it's comprehensive and large, that there are numerous suggestions for variations on a recipe. I really like her writing style, I like the font size and the weight & color of the pages, I like that the book is packed with information yet doesn't feel visually crowded.
And in my ideal world, there would be more photographs and there would be nutritional information for each recipe.
I would rather read a cookbook than most novels. When our house burned down a few years ago I lost 30 years of recipes and cookbooks... It was a little like losing friends.
@chzplz I would love to hear more about your google docs system!
I tend to stay away from mainstream cookbooks, though I own nearly a hundred of them, mostly vintage. What I'd really like is a cookbook that has recipes for all basic "farm" style cooking (breads, biscuits, cakes, cookies, roasts, vegetables, canning, poultry, etc.) that uses seasonal ingredients and one that is relatively comprehensive (like Joy) without being stodgy and creative without being pretentious or overly difficult and without using ingredients I'm totally unfamiliar with. Oh, and the recipes have to be from scratch, but simple.
Since this cookbook doesn't exist yet, I've been literally writing my own in a hard-covered, spiral-bound notebook - writing down all the recipes I want to try and putting all my favorite recipes in one place. The only crappy thing is that I have to find the recipes! Taken from my cookbooks and the internet, I've built up an okay repertoire, but I'm always hungry (no pun intended) for more. And there are a lot of bad recipes out there.
For me, it's Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone for family dinners, Joy of Cooking for baking, and the Gourmet cookbook for when I want a reliable but special-feeling recipe.
I like to read cookbooks before bed, but I'm trying to take them out of the library for that purpose. Good to keep them in circulation, to be enjoyed by all!
I think gardenali might be my food twin!
The book I use over and over and over again is Nigella's How To Eat book. It is genius!
I also love Nigel Slater and River Cottage Everyday. Also Tamasin's Kitchen Bible and Tamasin's Kitchen Classics.
Other cookbooks I couldn't live without -- Jacques Pepin's Fast Food My Way, and Delia Smith's How To Cook series. (If you think you know how to cook eggs or a pork chop, you probably don't, but Delia can show you how! And my tastes are far more in line with hers than with Cook's Illustrated).
For good fast food, I rely on old out of print editions of books by Marian Burros -- Eating Well is the Best Revenge and 20 Minute Menus.
I also like Jill Dupleix and her books, which are practically unknown here. Her recipes span a wide swath of ethnic -- lots of Asian and Mediterranean recipes -- and always work out well. Unlike others, they try to keep the fat down, nutrients up, and preparation minimal. I've tried to embrace Donna Hay -- I am a sucker for her aesthetic and the sort of lifestyle they seem to promise -- but I always find myself needing to tweak her recipes -- too bland, too watery, the timing slightly off. I just find that her recipes have never worked for me.
I love the River Café books, but haven't had them long enough to know whether they will become "old reliables".
Simon Hopkinson's Roast Chicken and Other Stories has gotten a lot more use than much thicker cookbooks.
The loveliest and most personal and idiosyncratic cookbooks I own, and which I return to time after time, are those by Tessa Kiros. Apples for Jam and Falling Cloudberries present cooking for families, recipes from her family, which is Finnish and Cypriot, and that of her husband, which is Italian. So it is an unusual and intimate assortment of recipes -- which for the most part, appeal to children (one of my key concerns these days -- for despite their foodie parents, my kids are going through a picky phase).
I love all cook books, but all i need is Joanne Harris' the French Kitchen and the internet for the rest.
Most of Jamie Oliver's books are pretty much used for inspiration. Julia Childs The Way of Cooking is really tattered and has been my teacher go to.
For everyday I like Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone and Vegetable Soups because I could eat this way everyday. Another nice little book that I seem to keep using is "Vegetables" Pippa Cuthbert there are 100 really good recipes that are easy for everyday cooking.
I've got a good little cookbook selection started (lots of Julia Child, Dorie Greenspan, and David Lebovitz). I also have a lot of classics/bibles/go-tos for French and Italian Cooking (Hazan, Larousse Gastronomique, Je Sais Cuisiner, etc.). Recently, though, I've just started buying Kindle versions since I often use my iPad in the kitchen as a timer, to do conversions, look up recipes and hints, and watch vids while stuff is cooking. Love it! Plus, I feel guilty when I get all my new cookbooks dirty and torn (I'm a messy cook!). The iPad rarely gets dirty, and if it does, I just wipe it gently with a slightly damp cloth. I also love the keyboard/docking stand.
PS I've also just purchased a great electronic recipe database to keep track of the recipes that I have personally tried and enjoyed. I add a picture of the meal, too, since I usually take pics for my blog anyways. I'm using TheRecipeManager for Mac. I WOULD LOVE AN ARTICLE ON THE KITCHN ABOUT RECIPE SOFTWARE & REVIEWS!
I never use ANY of the cookbooks I have. I love them but I find I got online for all my recipes. I've decided to sell them during my next Yard Sale.
Like many, I collect cookbooks. My go to classics are similar; Joy of Cooking, Theory and Practice of Good Cooking. Lately, new books from Thomas Keller, and David Chang. But mostly these days, i use the iPad, a couple of apps, and Dropbox. I keep all my Instapapered recipes in directories on Dropbox. They're accessible anywhere.
When I'm actually in the kitchen, I mainly use cookbooks and online recipes as idea-starters. I'm not necessarily a by-the-book cook. Mark Bittman's How To Cook Everything is The One for me. Just yesterday, I had a glut of cabbage and carrots from my CSA - flip to those ingredients in the index, and voila! Mexican Carrot-Chile Coleslaw, and Carrot-Brown Sugar Bread.
Other cookbooks I collect because they are beautiful, or because they remind me of a specific trip or place. I pick them up as souvenirs when traveling.
I tend to forget what books i have or what recipes are in them... super excited for that eatyourbooks site, thanks Foodelf!
Vegetarian Epicure [all of 'em]
Joy has been with me since I started cooking. I also refer constantly to Rebar which has THE BEST salad dressings and vegetarian food. Also love/worship/need Nigel Slater in any form. Tender Volume 1 has been my bedtime story for a week now.
Other well thumbed tomes include the Silver Palette, Silver Spoon & Julia Child. For recipes online I rely on Google Reader for an rss feed of about 15 cooking blogs, and epicurious.com for random recipes. Their sources on epicurious are rock solid and can generally be relied upon. I think that Instapaper suggestion just made my home/work internet browsing a lot more efficient.

I thought this was fantastic! I love anything wasabi.
Doubled the wasabi as suggested by other reviewers. I want to put this on EVERYTHING :)
I added a little sugar to the glaze just because I like my trout sweet, and I used 3 tsp of wasabi, and it was great! My guest enjoyed too!
We loved it, what a great way to have my teen learn to love fish even more. I also doubled the wasabi.
I have tried this recipe some time ago, and now I make it almost every week. Excellent recipe but best made as written, using trout and not white fish.
I increased the wasabi as suggested. It was fantastic.

Delta Tau Delta is a national fraternity with chapters on more than 125 college campuses around the country.
They will stand trial over the drinking death of a Wabash College freshman, after a ruling that an Indiana court said may force such organizations to take more responsibility for misconduct at chapter houses. The Indiana Court of Appeals on May 8 reinstated a lawsuit against Delta Tau Delta by the family of 18 year old Johnny Dupree Smith who was found dead on Oct. 5, 2008.
Smith's blood alcohol level was five times the limit for legal intoxication.
He had passed out during "Pledge Family Drink Night," according to the complaint in the wrongful-death case.

Visual Studio's Web Performance Test
The primary vehicle for web application performance testing in Visual Studio is the Web Performance Test.
Visual Studio provides a nice GUI for designing Web Performance Test's and it integrates beautifully with Internet Explorer which allows for recording a browser session to generate a Web Performance Test.
Additionally, Fiddler's got an export to Visual Studio Web Test (aka Web Performance Test) feature which is pretty good at generating .webtest's which can be brought directly into Visual Studio
(NOTE: Fiddler export to Web Test does not capture every aspect of the request verbatim, i.e. - you may not get all Cookies, Headers or ViewState content but instead a reference to these items from the previous request in the test - so tread carefully here).
While the GUI is good for designing the basic steps of your test, it does lack some advanced features which can only be fully realized by switching over to a Coded Web Performance Test. The GUI does provide a feature for exporting a GUI based web test into a Coded Web Performance Test.
Since I am no stranger to writing code, it's no surprise that I actually prefer to slang my Web Performance Tests coded instead of tinkering around in the UI anyway.
Here's an example of a Coded Web Performance Test generated from a GUI designed Web Performance Test:
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // <auto-generated> // This code was generated by a tool. // Runtime Version:4.0.30319.235 // // Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if // the code is regenerated. // </auto-generated> //------------------------------------------------------------------------------ namespace Performance.Testing.Utilities.SampleTargetScripts { using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebTesting; public class WebTest1Coded : WebTest { public WebTest1Coded() { this.PreAuthenticate = true; } public override IEnumerator<WebTestRequest> GetRequestEnumerator() { WebTestRequest request1 = new WebTestRequest("http://www.google.com/"); request1.Encoding = System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8"); yield return request1; request1 = null; } } }
I am sure we can do better than this. Here is the same code (with non-required statements eliminated) refactored:
using System.Collections.Generic; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.WebTesting; using Performance.Testing.Fluent.WebTesting.Framework; namespace Performance.Testing.Utilities.SampleTargetScripts { public class Google_Home_PageLoad : BaseWebTest { public override IEnumerator<WebTestRequest> GetRequestEnumerator() { var request = FluentRequest.Create("http://www.google.com"); yield return request; request = null; } } }
So that's a bit better. We can now use a common base class BaseWebTest along with a Fluent API to create a WebTestRequest in a single line of code which will use sensible defaults (i.e. - setting the encoding to UTF8, etc). The BaseWebTest class simply sets the PreAuthenticate = true statement in the constructor.
Need to add form post parameters? Query string parameters? JSON data? The FluentRequest API will support it.
Have a look at the Performance Testing Utilities as well as the FluentRequest API on github.
Stay tuned for more on Web Application Performance Testing.

WEST CHESTER, Ohio - Briefcases with handwritten signs attached were left at the front door of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner's Ohio office, bringing out a bomb squad.
Investigators in the Cincinnati suburb of West Chester tell multiple media outlets that the bomb squad blew the cases apart on Sunday and found they contained only papers. No one was hurt.
WEST CHESTER, Ohio - About 100 demonstrators protested outside the Cincinnati office of U.S. House Speaker John Boehner - with some later going to a Columbus country club after hearing he might be there.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that on Tuesday the protesters stood outside the West Chester Township office chanting.
The newspaper reports that a woman kicked the office door, which was locked, but police made no arrests.
The Service Employees International Union says demonstrators want Boehner to focus on jobs for his district.
The last speaker of the house that came from Ohio was Nicholas Longworth. Like Boehner, he was a Republican from the Cincinnati area. He faced similar challenges during his time in office and was known for working with both sides of the aisle. Boehner has said that Longworth is an influence for him and that could be an indication of how he will lead congress, according to Dan Birdsong, a political science professor at the University of Dayton.

I recall back in 2008 talking to a colleague about Mint and Wesabe, the first two social "Web 2.0" financial aggregation services. My friend's insight into why these two services were interesting was terrific: the quality signal in the system costs real money to exercise. On Facebook, a "like" costs a user only a click. In Mint or Wesabe, you had to spend real money with a merchant to get the data into the system, so any aggregated social data exhaust was ungamable.
Neither Mint nor Wesabe ever executed on building a great quality signal out of their data exhaust. But, I recently realized that Kickstarter has built ungamable social signals using the same mechanism. The primary way I find out about interesting new Kickstarter projects today is when one of my friends backs a project. When that happens, an email hits my inbox with the project and my friend's name in the subject: which almost always gets a click from me.
The minimum amount someone can contribute to a project is $1, so unlike a "like" in Facebook, there is a real monetary cost to the gesture of announcing to your network "Hey, this project is interesting."
This means that the signal-to-noise ratio in this data exhaust that Kickstarter exposes to other users is very high. It fulfills the ungamable vision that Wesabe and Mint never realized. Other web services would be well-adviced to borrow this dynamic if there's already real dollars flowing through their service (ie any ecommerce startup).

Verification Issues Take Center Stage
Is Legacy Holding You Back?
Harry Foster, Mentor's Verification Chief Scientist, will take center stage to give live presentations on the pressing SoC verification issues as he highlights recent research he has been reporting on in his numerous blogs. The first event will be held in San Jose, CA USA (18 October 2011) and the second event will be held in Reading, UK (15 November 2011).
Harry has been reporting on the 2010 Wilson Research Group Functional Verification Study that has shown a rapid market move towards the broadly supported SystemVerilog (IEEE 1800) language standard and ubiquitous support of the OVM/UVM methodologies. While humans have a general disdain for change, human nature also seems to wait to respond to the "crowd effect" to make a change. It appears the market is in the throes of this strain as the market moves in a direction leaving legacy behind.
To learn firsthand from Harry, I recommend attending two upcoming events where he will speak:
Date: 18 October 2011 (Tuesday)
Event: Design & Verification in the SoC Era
Location: DoubleTree – San Jose, CA USA
Website: http://www.mentor.com/events/verification/
Cost: Free; registration restrictions apply
Date: 15 November 2011 (Tuesday)
Event: Verification Futures: The Next Five Years
Location: Hilton Hotel, Reading, UK
Website: http://verificationfutures2011.eventbrite.com/
Cost: Free
Legacy set for replacement?
Have you ever noticed that one restaurant alone may get little traffic, but if there are many restaurants clustered together, they garner much greater traffic than going it alone? The crowd effect demonstrates its power and user benefit with choice and bounty. After DVCon 2011, I blogged about Wally Rhines' keynote address and pointed to one slide that showed SystemVerilog is the clear language winner and pointed to another slide that showed OVM/UVM, built on top of SystemVerilog, as the clear methodology winner.
This has impact on legacy. And those with entrenched legacy may find it hard to adopt market driven standards practice quickly. This is to be expected.
When Accellera began its Verification IP Technical Subcommittee (VIP-TSC), I argued that the first step is to preserve legacy investment and offer a path to reuse that which has proven valuable in the past. The vote to move in this direction was close with consumer input saying all efforts should focus on a single industry supported base class library and standard. My point was we could build it, but if there was no path from where consumers were, there would be limited uptake. In a short time, a proof that OVM and VMM could interoperate demonstrated that we knew how to do this. It also gave hope that other proprietary and single-supplier solutions could take this work and adapt it for their paths forward.
With that finished, the Accellera VIP-TSC set to create the Universal Verification Methodology (UVM) standard. This has now been completed, short of finishing one commitment to expand the Phasing scheme and address a few lingering issues. While Accellera could focus on completing this work, users and owners of legacy verification languages and proprietary environments have come to realize a startling truth: the market has moved away from them. And, proprietary and single-solution suppliers have offered little in terms of paths forward. They now look for Accellera to address legacy preservation requirements and do it for them.
While this was to be expected, their shock has exposed the fact that more work could have been done on building the bridges to legacy's past in the initial phase rather than now when the market demands time and focus on its adopted standards practice instead.
Why bring all this up?
We now find the Accellera VIP-TSC has a bifurcated focus. Part of the focus is to complete the content promises for UVM 1.0 and the other is to preserve legacy investment. But can Accellera overcome the crowd effect? The crowd effect, after all, has taken hold. In terms of product choice, legacy offers one product from a single supplier to SystemVerilog's multiple competitive suppliers. When it comes to bounty, the availability of legacy verification IP has fewer and fewer sources while OVM/UVM offer an expanding bounty.
In the face of this rapid market move, one can expect single solution suppliers will extol features of their solution over the market's choice. Users faced with the grim prospect of having to adapt to market changes will praise the past in hopes others will depart from the crowd. I am at a loss to think of a time when actions like this have worked to change the market. Maybe someone knows of examples and can share them.
In fact, I was a user who praised the technical benefits of one format over another. I made further investments in it. I even moved to a new job in a new area to find the community I moved to seemed to favor my selected format equally with what was to be the market winner. In time, in very short time, even my new community gave way to the market and the crowd. Can you guess what that format was?
I will share the details this with you next week when I discuss how one might actually bring value to legacy while allowing the market to continue its move forward. In the meantime, if you are close to the San Jose, CA or Reading, UK events, I suggest you register to attend.

Today is the day we leave Kansas, its bitter sweet. The hospitality has been unmatched by any other state, and the rolling green fields are beautifull and tranquill. The heat and the wind will not be missed and another state means were getting closer to Virgina. With no luck at finding any chamois cream we shared the last of the Anti Monkey Butt powder. By lunch time it was time for reapplication but we were bone dry. I decided that I would have to go for the petroleum jelly. WARNING! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. I applied the Vaseline and we were back on the road. The mixture of the humidity, monkey butt and the Vaseline created a spackel like material in my shorts. My bike shorts were now actually glued to my ass. I will need a surgeon or a mason to get them off. We made it to Springfield MO, and a Walmart, we searched the aisles looking for something that might work. We decided on Gold Bond Shea Butter. Hope it works.

Found April 25, 2012 on Larry Brown Sports:
PLAYERS: Philip Humber
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox
TEAMS: Chicago White Sox
Over the weekend, high school softball pitcher Andrea Chiaradio gave new meaning to the phrase "perfect game." Philip Humber's perfect game for the White Sox last week was perfect in the sense that no hitters were able to reach base. Chiaradio, who pitches for Stonington High School in Stonington, Conn., didn't allow a single batter she faced to put the ball in play. Chiaradio struck out all 21 hitters she faced in her team's 3-0 win over Norwich. It is believed that she is only the second softball pitcher in Connecticut high school history to strike out every batter she faced in a perfect game. "This was my first no-hitter in high school," Chiaradio told the Westerly Sun over the weekend. "I probably was aware of it in about the fifth inning when a few of the girls on the bench said something about it when we were at bat. I knocked on wood. I tried not to think about it and not to psyche myself out. I just concentrated on getting the rest of the outs. "I had a few 3-2 counts so ...

Never said you were but you know that this will end up like the Evoque thread.
i rest my case....cafe laws suck.
cant' wait till 2017 comes so that whole thing gets thrown out.
This is the 3rd time im saying it, but the car looks TOO scrunched up. If they made it a little longer, and tweaked the proportions a little bit more, then I think it would look better.
it'll go away because subscribing what people SHOULD drive instead WANT to drive has been a failure thus far.
if they can't give these cars away da 2017 loophole to do away with it will come to fruition, especially since will have MASSIVE drilling and that pipeline will be built by then.

"Very pretty card for our baby girls' baptism. Plenty of lines available to add the details for the reception, etc. I also loved that I could add a sweet picture of her onto the back of the card. My sister called as soon as she opened it from the mail and said how beautiful she thought it was. I am very happy with this purchase, a very simple and sweet invite."
"I received so many compliments on this invitation. It is for a religious event, yet it isn't over the top. It is girly and simple too. It has a great texture to it. Beautiful overall."
"This is the baptism announcement I've used for all three of my children (starting in 2007). Thank you Tiny Prints for not discontinuing this style and for always having rock solid customer service."
"This was my first time shopping with Tiny Prints and what a wonderful experience! The invitations were beautifully done, the paper was top quality and the printing done to perfection. The shipping was also excellent and was at my door days before I expected it! All my guests were extremly impressed with the invites and couldn't believe I had purchased them over the internet. I will definatly be shopping here again and highly reccomend this website to everyone!!"
"I ordered the Wonderous Watercolor: Princess invitation for my infant daughter's christening. I am very happy with how they came out and I've gotten quite a few compliments on how beautiful they are. The baby's picture and message on the back is a cute touch. I love the quality of the paper. Will definitely use Tiny Prints again!"

I'm finally at a point with our landscaping that I feel I can share a few pics.It's taken a while to get here, we are not done, but it's moving forward.
As shared in my previous landscaping post the idea was to subdivide the garden, which was largely lawn by creating space for a patio, a playhouse for Nathan and pockets of form plants and textures. My deadline was June 17th, I missed it, but as of today I'm where I wanted to be.
I went a little overboard on the playhouse, which became a black Nordic inspired cabin with a deck and almost floor to ceiling wrap around window, but I LOVE it!
Sadly I had a fight with my contractor and threw him off site during the building, which meant I had to do a lot of the work myself, action-ed in dribs and drabs with all this rain we've been having.
I designed and coordinated the hard and landscaping, but enlisted the help of my friend Anton Fourie from Stonescapes and his staff to action my ideas, something he does with efficiency and precision, a rare trait today!
As regular readers know, I'm a modernist, I prefer clean lines and have a penchant for mid-century design, including landscaping.
In designing it I bought several Sunset and Better Home & Gardens patio design books from the 50's/60's at local thrift shops and bookstores and spent countless hours on Pintrest and Houzz.
I wanted to work largely with evergreen form plants, sculptural plants in shades of green, grey, crimson and salmon pink.
I found an invaluable landscape resource over at the Eichler For Sale website with a list of commonly used mid-mod plants.
The selection is minimal, two varieties of New Zealand Flax (Phormium Tenax), some Lily Grass (Ophiopogon Variegata) and Blue Mountain Grass (Festuca Glauca) in one bed. Cape Reed Grass (Chrondopetalum Tectorum) in another and lastly Hedge Bamboo (Bambusa Multiplex) in another.
The Flax will grow rather tall and create a nice hedge in time, as seen below.

Truck Offerings Kick into High Gear
The Cat CT660 will be sold and serviced exclusively by the Caterpillar dealer network.
If you thought the economic slowdown would stifle innovation in a depressed truck market, you're wrong. Apparently manufacturers have been busy planning for the pending upturn. Major introductions at both the Work Truck Show, sponsored by the National Truck Equipment Association, and CONEXPO-CON/AGG, sponsored by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers, revealed all-new product offerings, as well as a new player in the vocational truck market.
Caterpillar makes its debut
Caterpillar made good on its promise to enter the vocational truck market when it unveiled its CT660 set-back axle truck, which should start shipping in July. It will be followed by the CT680 set-forward axle truck, which will be launched in 2013. Both will be sold and serviced exclusively through the Cat North American dealer network, which offers 2,300 service bays and over 7,000 mobile service trucks.
"When we announced we were going to stop selling truck engines to on-highway truck manufacturers, at the same time, we announced that we were moving down this path," says George Taylor, director of Caterpillar's On-Highway Truck Group. "So for us, it was really about a strategic move that looked at all the current players in the market having their own integrated powertrains and us making decisions that kept us moving forward."
The CT660 will be available with either a 116- or 122-in. BBC. "We will have the full variety of axle configurations on both of the trucks," notes Taylor.
Engine options include the Cat CT11, CT13 and CT15, with displacements of 11.2, 12.5 and 15.2 liters, power ranges from 330 to 550 hp and 1,450 to 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque. The engines combine advanced exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) with a high-pressure common-rail fuel system, precision intake air management system and electronic controls to meet emissions and provide optimum performance. A compact graphite engine block reduces weight by as much as 500 lbs. vs. a conventional iron block.
A combination of dual sequential turbochargers and a precise fuel injection system allows the engines to develop peak torque at lower speeds. This reduces shifting and allows for shifting at significantly lower speeds.
A unique option for the trucks is the Cat CX31 automatic transmission, which traces its roots back to the company's articulated dump trucks. The CX31, with six forward speeds and one reverse, is built to compliment the torque output of the Cat CT Series engines. The transmission features heavy-duty clutches and gear sets that allow full-power shifts, increasing efficiency and productivity, while reducing drivetrain shock loads.
An electronic control module, mounted directly on the transmission, regulates shift points based on throttle demand and vehicle speed. With adaptive shift logic, the CX31 can sense driver operating style to balance fuel economy and performance. There are two side locations and a high-ouput rear location for the power take-off.
An aluminum lock-up torque converter in the CX31 allows quick starts from a dead stop, even with heavy loads. In addition, the CT660 can also be specified with other transmission options, including the manual and UltraShift Plus Vocational transmissions built by Eaton.
The Cat CT660 will also feature a cab made from aluminum alloy for long life and low weight, one- or two-piece windshields, a modular hood that allows the customer to only replace damaged sections and a three-piece stainless steel bumper.
Class 8 gets a little more crowded
Western Star and Mack both introduced trucks at the "small" end of the Class 8 market.
Western Star, known primarily as a premium custom truck builder, is diving into new territory with the launch of its 4700. "The Western Star 4700 broadens our product lineup to meet the growing needs of value-minded vocational customers who still demand the attributes found in a traditional Western Star truck," says Mike Jackson, general manager. Available in a set-forward and set-back configuration, the 4700 features a 110-in. BBC. It targets the dump, plow, mixer, crane, roll-off and sewer vac markets.
"With the 4900 and 6900, we had played on the fringes of these markets for decades, doing the extreme-duty applications," notes Dan Silbernagel, product strategy manager. "This was actually a natural progression for the growth of the brand to provide a product that brings Western Star the more mainstream customer."
A wide range of powertrain options should meet almost anyone's requirements. "We have three engines with probably 20 different horsepower and torque ratings," says Silbernagel. "We are going to offer the Cummins ISC, Cummins ISL and Detroit Diesel DD13, so that gives us a horsepower range of 260 to 450 in one model, with torque ratings from 660 to 1,650 ft.-lbs."
These will be mated to a range of Allison automatic and Eaton manual transmissions. "One thing that is new to the industry is the Eaton UltraShift Plus at 1,150 ft.-lb. of torque married behind the Cummins ISL 9-liters engine," says Silbernagel.
Body upfitting was a design priority. There is an electrical racway for the upfitters and the body builder connections are all in one spot. "It is just kind of plug and play," says Silbernagel. "Having in-cab connections increases the reliability of the entire electrical system."
A single-channel, 3.2-million RBM rail saves weight over double-channel rails and reduces the possibility of corrosion. This rail is custom punched to eliminate unnecessary holes that can reduce frame strength.
Mack Truck also identified a growing demand at the light end of the Class 8 market. The Granite Medium Heavy Duty (MHD) fills this void. "In the current economic environment, companies are taking an even harder look at how much truck they really need," says Curtis Dowart, vocational products marketing manager. The Granite MHD is designed to meet the needs of customers for whom a lighter spec gets the job done.
The Granite MHD, available in both axle-forward and axle-back configurations, is powered by a Cummins ISL9. This 9-liter engine pumps out 345 hp and 1,150 lb.-ft. of torque. An Eaton manual or Allison automatic transmission is available.
This truck is built on the same Cornerstone Chassis that has proven reliable on the rest of the Granite line. The Cornerstone's constant frame rail height and high-strength steel alloy design creates strong, yet light frames. A new 7-mm frame rail thickness is ideal for the MHD. The truck also uses a UniMax front axle with sealed and maintenance-free axle hubs. The short distance from bumper to tire provides front-end swing clearance, sharp wheel cuts and a tight turning radius. The 16,500-lb. axle capacity is best suited for the Granite MHD, but four axle options are available – 12,000-, 14,600-, 18,000- and 20,000-lb. capacities, depending upon chassis configuration.
Renewed Focus
Freightliner is getting serious about the vocational truck market and is rolling out a complete line of vocational products.
Dave Hames, general manager, marketing and strategy, admits that in the past Freightliner was primarily an on-highway company. While the company built a strong reputation in the vocational market with the FLD-SD product line, capacity was often hindered by on-highway production. That has changed. "Freightliner is committed to vocational trucks," says Hames.
As evidence, Freightliner rolled out two new models, the 114SD and 108SD, to fill out its vocational truck line, which also includes the previously announced Coronado SD. The 114SD features a 114-in. BBC and is available with a set-forward and set-back axle configuration. The set-forward axle features a standard 31-in. front axle position and an optional 29.5-in. bridge formula configuration. The set-back configuration has a 48-in. axle setting for maximum maneuverability.
The 114SD offers a choice of Detroit Diesel DD13 or Cummins ISC or ISL engine. The DD13 offers a power range from 350 to 450 hp and 1,250 to 1,650 lb.-ft. of torque. The Cummins options provide a power range from 260 to 380 hp and 660 to 1,300 lb.-ft. of torque.
"With the 114SD, we really focused on packaging," says Ivan Neblett, vocational product manager. "All of the components – the exhaust, the fuel tank, your diesel exhaust fluid – is all packaged under the cab to leave more room for the equipment manufacturer to upfit the chassis."
Like its 114-in. BBC sibling, the 108SD with a 108-in. BBC is geared toward the vocational segment, with key markets including municipal, sewer vac, snowplow, light-duty dump and crane trucks. "The max power is up to 350 hp with 1,050 ft.-lbs. of torque," says T.J. Reed. The 108SD is propelled by a Cummins ISB or ISC engine, which provide 200 to 350 hp and 520 to 1,000 lb.-ft. of torque.
Axle ratings range from 10,000 to 20,000 lbs. for front axles. Single and tandem rear axle options range from 21,000 to 46,000 lbs.
"When you have a lot of equipment in a short area, mid-chassis packaging is absolutely key," notes Reed. "We have to package as much as we can underneath the truck cab. So we have packaged an 80-gal. fuel tank, a 6-gal. DEF tank and our battery box all underneath the cab. On the passenger side, we have a single box aftertreatment system that offers clean back of cab, as well."
"From the vehicle perspective, the visibility and maneuverability are absolutely key," states Reed. "The 108SD features a 42-in. set-back axle and has a wheel cut up to 50°. So it provides some pretty flexible steering geometry. It makes the truck extremely maneuverable."
The new SD family incorporates a steel-reinforced aluminum cab and unique chassis packaging with options such as front frame extensions and radiator-mounted grilles for body attachment applications. Front and rear power take-offs and body-specific chassis layouts match the truck to the application.
A complete offering of single- and double-channel frame rails feature a tensile strength of up to 120,000 psi and an RBM rating up to 4.4 million in.-lbs. per rail. Combined with the Coronado SD, Freightliner now offers a complete solution for all vocational applications by BBC, engine displacement and axle capacity.
Updates on medium duties
On the medium-duty side of the business, Navistar rolled out a 4WD version of its Class 4/5 TerraStar, which fills a current void in the market. This truck will use a chain-driven transfer case, but there is a gear-driven transfer case also under development.
The Terrastar was initially launched last year in a two-wheel-drive configuration. At the heart of the TerraStar is a 300-hp, 6.4-liter MaxxForce 7 V-8 engine that delivers 660 lb.-ft. torque. This engine features a compacted graphite iron (CGI) block that offers high strength without added weight. Advanced EGR leads to even greater weight savings. With no added aftertreatment equipment, the TerraStar provides a clean and clear chassis for body mounting, not to mention less added weight.
A 107-in. BBC helps ensure maneuverability on tight jobsites. The truck is available with optional extended cab or crew cab configurations.

Celebrity Feet: Chris Paul – Air Jordan XI 'Concord'
December 15th, 2011 by John Kim | 32 comments
The trade sending Chris Paul to the Los Angeles Clippers made seismic waves on the NBA horizon after a week-long fiasco of pushing and pulling among the New Orleans Hornets, the NBA brass, and both LA teams. Although the Laker Gold and Purple faithful hung its collective head at the killed trade proposal that would've paired their five-time champion Kobe Bryant with the best point guard in the game, their Staples Center roommates went 'all-in' for the CP3 pot, despite knowing fully that their expensive acquisition may skip town come June 2012. While the shift of power between the two NBA conference remain the same, a deep civil war rivalry is a-brewin' in Los Angeles because the Clippers, once the laughing-stock of the NBA, have grown up and matured quite well and have become a serious contender for the 2012 Championship thanks to the blockbuster trade as well as the key acquisitions of Caron Butler and retaining of DeAndre Jordan.
Today, the Los Angeles Clippers welcomed its newest team member to its facilities via Twitter, catching CP3 walking through the doors of the Clippers practice facility while wearing the Air Jordan XI 'Concord'. It appears that all of Nike and Jordan Brand's major stars are aligning in the biggest metropolitan cities (not necessarily planned, of course), but Paul, like Dwight Howard, selected the Clippers for a reason; the Clippers have a solid young roster with an up-and-coming coach, and prior to the trade, were just one piece away from becoming perennial Playoff participants. Does the Chris Paul trade send them over the top? Tell us your thoughts after the jump and checking out CP3 in his Concords, and let us know if the new Blue/Red/White theme will bring some energy to the Jordan CP3 signature line.
He signed his player option extension so he's actually going to be with the Clippers through June 2013.
There's nothing bad about more Red/White JB colorways... It's built into their DNA
Does anyone know te name of the jacket he is wearing? Its not the Herringbone retro 11 jacket.....
its called Men's Swingman Jumpsuit Jacket Black & White and you can get it from nike.com or anywhere Jordan Brand is sold!
thought u didnt like Jordan Brand... u seem to be flip floppin over there
Rosay got jokes! If u aint mad, shit's pretty funny.
does it look like im goin to pay any mind to a fuckin attention whore like u on here... fuck outta here u lil fuck boy.. now go back to suckin on ya moms dick
what did i tell u about talking to me
So he's not going to wear a gold and purple uniform. Lakers are in f@@kn trouble. They need to land dwight. To save them after trading odom to mavs.
He should be a god dam Laker!
With all those stacked rosters, it's hilarious how Kobe needs another superstar to win lol. No wonder he's the most overrated in the history of the game.
every NBA squad had 2 to 3 superstars on every championship team... Boston had Bird, McHale, Perish (ALL HALL OF FAMERS)... Magic Had Kareem, James Worthy (AGAIN ALL HALL OF FAMERS), Pistons Had Isiah, Joe Dumar, Bill Lambier, Dennis Rodman (H-O-F)... Michael Had Scottie... Duncan had Robinson, then later on Steve Smith, Tony Parker & Manu( who are all allstars & future H-O-F'ers). Even KG, Paul Pierce or Ray Allen didnt win a championship til they all teamed up (Future H-O-F'ers)... So of course kobe needs another big name... jus like shaq needed him, he needed shaq... then add gasol... so dats why u see all them dudes in Miami & New York & Now da Clippers teamin up good players to get da trophy... and da man has 5 rings.. its kinda hard to b overrated when u have rings... lbj been in da league 9 yrs, 2 mvps 2, scorin titles, 2 finals appearances, no rings... now im not a kobe fan, but right now mr james is da most overrated dude out there
i agree lebron is overrated and it served him right tht he lost, he made the trade bigger than what it was, u dnt see cp3 on espn talkin bout he takin his talents to la or havin a party before the season starts. it wud of been nothing but a normal trade if he watched himself... the way he acted during the trade was horrible, he was showboatin and won NOTHING the best team on paper were losers b/c of karma and how he just said fuck clevland...... he promised them a chip thts like breakin up with ur wife of 8 years after u said u wanted children for a big tit stripper...... and she has a tail u aint kno about lmao
excuse me, but Lebron & Wade are NOT legends yet... Wade is more of a legend then bron anyway. HE GOT A RING & brought a championship to a team that didnt have 1. Lebron cant say that.... And Bynum is NOT an all star, hes never been an all star.. U cant b an all star when u only play 40 to 50 games a yr wit all those injuries.. Artest aka Metta World Peace IS NOT da best defender in da league anymore. I think theirs a guy in Orlando named Dwight Howard who is da 3 time defendin defensive player of da yr... and Gasol is NOT a dominant player.. if u watched da west conf semi's, u can tell Dirk & Tyson Chandler were shoutin pau down.. Dominant players dont get shout down fa 4 sweepin games in a row.. i dont like Kobe, but i respect his game enuf to kno he's been doin his thing fa a long time.. people said he couldn win another championship witout Shaq, well he got 2 of them since
Jordan did it all by HIMSELF tho, playa
lol doesn't kobe have Gasol and Bynum, the two dominant all star bigs in the league? What about the best D in the league Artest? You nutthuggers are hilarious whenever talkin about bball as if u know some shit cuz it's really full of shit n excuses lol. Put the true legends like Larry, Magic, Wade, Lebron, Jordan, Jerry West, James Worthy, Ray Allen etc in the Lakers. bet they'd win multiple champs with the current stacked rosters. No team in the league has dominant inside as the Lakers so face it that Kobe is overrated and just nothing but a rythm breaking selfish shotjacker.
For real! There is no I in team. All championships had a duo or a great team to win!
yeah its pretty messed up
lls LOB CITY!!!! watch everyone be a clipper fan now hahaha
This was said already fool
CP3 to Blake G.... ur gonna hear dat alot dis yr wit all those ally-oops
Until June. So half a year.
here come all the clippers fans from out of the wood work
definitely gonna miss the hornet theme on the cp line...red white and blue, clean as it is, is not that exciting imo :( felt like the 3 jb stars had good balance in terms of providing different cw (based on their respective team colors) on their lines of products -- cp with aqua and purple, wade with red white black, and melo with orange and blue...now it's kinda thrown off. i hope jb keeps giving us some hornets cw for cp's shoes
My boy lookin G
Lets just hope this clown does something in Los Angeles

Fantastic Fest Review: 'Headhunters'
Clever, efficient Norwegian thriller raises the stakes with wicked ease
By William Goss Oct 3, 2011 1:10PM
Rating: 4/5
Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie) admits from the start that his steep career ambitions on both sides of the law are a means of compensating for his short stature. He's a likeable lead with Buscemi eyes and Walken hair, swagger in his step and worry on his face. By day, he's a corporate headhunter, and sometimes also by day, he's an art thief, lifting rare works from their owners while they're tied up with job interviews that he's arranged.
It keeps him afloat even as he lives beyond his means, struggling to ensure that any number of sexy suitors are kept happy. But Roger's about to go too far -- Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) has just flown in from the Netherlands, and not only does Roger want to hire him, Roger wants to help himself to a rare painting that belongs to the former mercenary. The problem is, once Roger gets his hands on it, he realizes that Clas A) hasn't arrived by coincidence, and B) won't stop until he gets his man...
What begins as a slick anti-hero outing soon becomes a brazenly entertaining cat-and-mouse thriller, as Roger is forced to go to great lengths to outwit Clas. Director Morten Tyldum doles out increasingly audacious plot developments with an almost palpable sense of glee, as our leading man first loses his much-cherished reputation and sense of status -- he goes from driving a sleek sedan to a beat-up Mercedes to a clunky tractor -- before being steadily stripped of his identity, even down to his hair. Critical moments at which Roger is evading his pursuer can be boiled down to games of hide-and-seek and a staring contest, once-juvenile routines now determining the difference between life and death.
Fun though it is to see Tyldum twist the knife on our protagonist, watching Hennie's performance as he runs the gamut from smooth rascal to scrappy fugitive to a man utterly emasculated is a pleasure unto itself. Coster-Waldau's role is less demanding, but for what's asked of him, he plays a terrific bulldog, suave and steely-eyed, a handsome jock unlikely to be one-upped by the scared, shorter man in his sights.
"Headhunters" opens and closes with Roger's narration, and in between, the film conducts itself with the same cool, collected sense of being that Roger himself loses over the course of the chase. It's a swift, smart, suspenseful thriller, and I won't be the least bit surprised once America manages to remake it.

Continuing Danger: Child Fatalities in New York City
Fatalities are the most tragic result of child maltreatment.
At least four children die from abuse or neglect every day in the United States. In 2006, more than 1,500 children nationally suffered that fate. In 2004, 367 children died in homes already known to the public child welfare system. And even these grim statistics under-report the number of deaths of children known to child welfare systems (due to reporting anomalies, and because they do not include all states).
Although the total number of children who die from abuse and neglect is relatively small, cases that result in fatalities often shed light on systemic problems in public child welfare agencies — and the challenges facing vulnerable families.
Children's Rights has issued two reports that take an in-depth look at child deaths in New York City from 1999-2001 and from 2003-2004. The purpose of the research was to understand the issues and factors associated with child deaths and the child welfare system's involvement in these cases, both before and after the deaths. The reports make recommendations for improving child welfare system practices regarding safety and risk assessments, quality assurance activities and fatality review processes.

I'm honestly quite impressed by Capcom's perseverance — the company has given this moldy cheese more attention than anything else Mega Man in the last couple of years.

Just like Dragon Age Origins: Awakening (remember when this game was a big deal?), it appears as if you'll be able to either import your character, or create a new one.
