5 Big & Beautiful Dutch Ovens: Plus 10 Recipes to Show Them Off
Dutch Ovens 2013
A couple years ago we shared a few of our favorite Dutch ovens, plus recipes to put them to work. But products come and go, and many of our 2011 picks have since become unavailable. So we thought it was time to revisit our favorite pot and look at the current crop of Dutch ovens for fall cooking.
What Is a Dutch Oven?
A Dutch oven is any large, heavy pot that is suitable for stovetop or oven use. So your stainless steel stock-pot can probably be used as a Dutch oven, as long as it has an oven-safe lid and can go straight into the oven from the stove.
But when talking about Dutch ovens, what people usually mean are the extra-heavy cast iron, enameled pots typified by Le Creuset and Staub. These hard-working pots are the corner piece of the fall and winter kitchen, ideal for slow-simmered soups and braises, as well as other favorite hearty meals. They are also beautiful, so they can go straight from the stove to the oven to the table.
Choosing a Dutch Oven
Big Dutch Ovens: This time around we're focusing on the generously-sized Dutch oven, the one you would use to cook a huge pot of chili or roast a big chicken. Each of these pots holds at least 6 quarts. (We do love smaller Dutch ovens too — see why my 3 1/2-quart Le Creuset Dutch oven is one of my favorite pots.)
Size is obviously a factor in cost, so these are some of the more expensive Dutch ovens out there. If you want to be more moderate, look at 6-quart or 5 1/2-quart pots, which can be much cheaper. We do think, though, that there's a place in everyone's kitchen for one really big Dutch oven, so that's what we focused on today.
Enameled Dutch Ovens: Also, we picked out Dutch ovens that were enameled inside. Sure, you can get less expensive Dutch ovens that are raw cast iron inside and out. These are nonstick, once well-seasoned, not to mention beautiful, but I think that when most people are in the market for a Dutch oven, they want the immediate benefits of the enamel.
5 Big & Beautiful Dutch Ovens
1. Staub 7-Quart Oval Cocotte, $300 at Williams-Sonoma or Amazon
This is my personal Dutch oven of choice. Spendy, yes. Beautiful, without a doubt. I like the oval shape, as I find it a little more elegant than the round pots. I also love the black matte enamel, which looks like uncoated cast iron but is actually nonstick. It doesn't discolor the way the white enamel does. But there is also a slight yet purposeful roughness to the finish that I find helps food brown better. If I had just one pot in my kitchen, this would be it.
2. Le Creuset Signature Enameled Cast-Iron 7-1/4-Quart French Oven, $315 at Amazon
As Cook's Illustrated puts it, the "gold standard" of Dutch ovens is Le Creuset, with their famous Flame color and distinctive styling. A Le Creuset Dutch oven (or, as they call it here, French oven) is one of the most classic and enduring pieces you can add to your kitchen, and their lifetime guarantee backs that up. Personally I love the classic Flame styling, as well as the sleek and sophisticated gray and ivory lines.
3. Lodge Color 7.5-Quart Dutch Oven, $86.97 at Amazon
Lodge is an American company and the maker of the classic cast iron skillets we all love so much. They bring sturdy, classic detailing to enameled Dutch ovens, as well as a very accessible price.
4. Tramontina 7-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven, $149.95 at Amazon and $79.97 at Walmart
Tramontina has received consistently high marks in Cook's Illustrated reviews, and our own recipe editor had a great experience with them easily and quickly replacing a pot that she chipped (read the whole story here). Tramontina's pots don't have the iconic styling of Le Creuset and Staub, but they are significantly cheaper and still quite lovely. This is also a brand to shop around for; I saw the same pot for list price ($210) at Target, but much less at Amazon and Walmart.
5. Guy Fieri 7-Quart Dutch Oven, $89.99 at Target
After the classic picks of Le Creuset, Staub, Lodge, and Tramontina, I like to look for a wild card, and this year, Guy Fieri's Dutch oven gets my pick. I haven't actually used this pot, but I like the detailing and the depth — not to mention the price. Has anyone tried this one out?
4 Dutch Oven Shopping Tips
• Enameled or not? Cast Iron Cookware: Enameled or Bare - A store guide for shopping for cast iron cookware.
• Check budget stores: Check discount retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshalls, and Ross for good deals on off-brand (and name brand) Dutch ovens. It's a great place to pick up something for less.
• Wait for Amazon sales: Also check Amazon around the holidays; there are often deep discounts then.
• Be flexible: Remember that any heavy pot with a lid can act as a Dutch oven. I often make no-knead bread in a stainless steel, oven-safe pot, instead of my cast iron Dutch ovens. Just make sure the pot is oven-safe and as heavy as possible.
10 Recipes to Put a Dutch Oven to Work
Now that you have that big gorgeous hunk of cast iron and enamel, let's not leave it in the cupboard. Here are 10 recipes that really put a Dutch oven through its paces — baking, stewing, braising, browning.
The Dutch oven is the perfect tool for braises, browning meat then cooking it low and slow in the oven. But it can do so much more, too.
- Lemon Braised Chicken & Beans with Mint Pesto - An all-in-one dish where the beans bake along with the chicken.
- Barbecue Shredded Chicken from the Oven or Slow Cooker - Shredded chicken to eat for dinner or freeze for later. Make a big batch; your Dutch oven can handle it.
- Chicken & Swiss Chard Pasta Bake - The Dutch oven is great for pasta casseroles; cook the pasta in the pot, drain it, then return it and add everything else. Bake!
- Jamie Oliver's Chicken in Milk - Maybe the ultimate Dutch oven recipe (as well as the best chicken recipe of all time we say, only partly hyperbolic).
- Braised Coconut Spinach & Chickpeas with Lemon - A rich and satisfying vegetarian stew that needs a big pot.
- Vegetarian Pumpkin Chili - Any soup is a good candidate for Dutch oven cooking. This one calls for your biggest pot.
Bread, breakfast, dessert and big projects, like jam and tomato sauce, are all fresh opportunities for the Dutch oven.
- How To Make No-Knead Bread - Pretty much the easiest bread you can make at home, but also the tastiest, given the crust that develops in the heat and steam of a Dutch oven.
- Baked Pumpkin Steel Cut Oatmeal - That's right: baked pumpkin oatmeal from the Dutch oven. Start it on the stove, finish it in the oven.
- How To Make Basic Tomato Sauce with Fresh Tomatoes - A project for your Dutch oven, using the last market tomatoes, or ones you've frozen from the garden.
- How To Make Fruit Jam - Have a little fruit getting too ripe? Make a quick batch of jam in the perfect pot: the Dutch oven.

I love dutch ovens I use my mother in laws all the time.
Trying to figure out if it's really worth investing in one as a vegetarian... thoughts?
I have a Le Creuset and use it for vegetarian soups and pasta sauces cooked on top of the stove. It really makes a difference in depth of flavor.
My love for enameled cast-iron dutch ovens knows no bounds. I <3 my Le Creuset dutch oven, working on getting a Staub braising pan next.
Vegetarian or not, a Dutch Oven is an indispensable cooking vessel and I have several in different sizes.
However, I would under no circumstances ever pay anywhere near $300 for an imported or enameled piece of cookware. That's a ridiculous waste of money when Lodge makes the best cast iron here in America (with the exception of their enameled cookware) at very reasonable prices.
As to Guy Fieri who is a major d-bag, his signature items are made in China! Again, why buy cheap stuff from China when you can buy quality, long lasting goods made here?
We're both vegetarian and use our Dutch oven constantly (albeit, mostly in the cold months). This week we've used it for 2 soups (browning garlic and onion is easier than in a thin stockpot: doesn't burn!), a no knead bread and a curry. However, we have a non-enameled one: we do TONS of tomato based stuff (i.e. most soups we make) and yes, we have to oil after cleaning (water only) but other than that, I think it's fine. I've thought about getting an enameled one, but this is one I inherited from my mom (who got it from my grandma) and I am hesitant to give it away.
On another note: for the author and other who like the oval shapes: I am attracted to it for fitting in our tiny oven, but do you find that you get uneven heating when you use it stovetop?
@catdoc I use my huge oval dutch oven on the stove all the time and I've never had a problem with it heating unevenly, even though it's larger than my largest burner.
thanks salt water! :D appreciate the feedback (and the Guy Fieri dig... lol)
@catdoc - thanks!
I am not a vegetarian, but vegetarian use of a dutch oven? Why not? The pumpkin chili recipe alone would be enough to convince me. But then there are soups and sauces and bread and stews and beans and jams fudge and tempura and french fries galore waiting out there. Dutch ovens are wonderful when you put them in the oven and cover them before setting the temp to low. Then the food simmers for a long time with no watching necessary and the flavors blend like nowhere else.
I have used dutch ovens over campfires for nearly every thing you could imagine and had more than a few great pies baked in them. I was once a camp counselor for a great bunch of teenagers who found that their dehydrated foods tasted better when simmered in the dutch oven. What they really latched onto was that you could scrub the cast iron out with salt and did not have to "wash" it. They really learned to use the pot and even insisted on taking the heavy thing along on canoe trips. They assigned care of the dutch oven to the canoe least likely to tip because they valued the pot that much!
My mother once took or generations-old cast iron oven to a state park where she tossed in a pound of bacon to fry over the camp grate and then fried eggs in the bacon fat. Toasted bread on the grate set us all up for a feast that tasted better than ever outside. We also did the same thing on Florida beaches.
One of the very top cooking vessels of all time.
I am bookmarking this post ASAP! I have the second Dutch oven on your list, received as a generous wedding gift. I love using it and am excited to try out these recipes!
I don't understand why you'd pay $300-315 for an enamel Dutch oven when you can get the Lodge for $87. If it's a matter of status, you could probably order a Staub lid handle and replace the Lodge handle. Do appreciate the suggestion to shop around at the TJMax, Ross, and other closeout stores. Then, of course there's eBay and Overstock.com, etc.
Any recommendations for "small" cute dutch ovens, preferably with lids? I love the idea of serving individual portions of mac and cheese, cassoulet, etc.
I've always wanted an enameled Dutch oven, but could just never reconcile the price. I'd seen the budget-friendly Gourmet Living brand several times, but was skeptical because of how highly touted the "big" names were. Shopko was having a huge sale, and at the prices they were offering, I couldn't resist any longer. I bought a 6-quart in a pumpkin orange color, a 3-quart in red, and a griddle pan with grill press in red, all for about $90. I love these pieces, and have already used each of them many times. I realize I don't have anything to compare them to, and may not know what I'm missing, but I have cooked some amazing meals in them!
I LOVE all of my enameled cast iron pieces (and my Lodge bare cast iron pan). My local TJMaxx and Marshalls have been selling a bunch of Le Creuset Dutch/French ovens lately (Thanksgiving gear up, I suppose). All of my Le Creuset have come from their outlet stores with significant discounts. Sure, they're seconds (a bit of paint splatter here, an extra blob of glaze there) but I know LC will take care of me if something goes wrong with the pieces.
I've also heard good things about the Costco Kirkland Signature Dutch ovens and they are usually priced reasonably (<$70 for 6+qt).
I have a 3.5 qt Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch oven as well. It developed a chip in the handle and bad spiderwebbing in the enamel but Lodge replaced it for me with no charge. I also had a 3 qt Martha Stewart Living Dutch oven which chipped and rusted after the first use. Yikes!
I got a Martha Stewart (for Macy's) one as a wedding gift and I love it - but maybe I don't even know what I'm missing. How does Martha Stewart stack up against these?
I love my 7 quart Guy Fieri and 3.5 quart enameled CI Dutch ovens. They perform their job and were well worth the price and I'd sooner buy them instead of grossly over-priced Euro imports that cannot perform any better at 4 times the price
@happylegs I can think of no reason a vegetarian cannot also make good use of a Dutch oven. Soups are the first things that come to mind along with meatless chilies
Lodge, a fine US company, sadly makes their enamel ware in China.
While I have a boy boy 7 qt. from Kirkland, I rarely use it as it is too big, heavy and I'm getting old. I am torn, my heart goes to the 3.5 Le Cruset but can I justify the cost?
I have two. I love them. I got mine at Marshalls Home Goods. paid under $70 check it out they have good prices on them.
I love my Le Creusets I don't use them enough! I cook curries and soups in them. Oh and pasta sauces and tomato braised fish as well. I've never paid more than $100 ($120 tops) for them at the outlet store for the 5-qt sizes (cooking for 4 max). The seconds section always has a huge selection and the staff there is always helpful in helping me pick ones that have paint imperfections rather than surface scratches. I do lust after some of the current colors at Williams Sonoma like Ocean and Aubergine though.
Have had Creuset for years but am now gradually replacing with Staub. I have the Staub cocotte in matte black, and there is no comparison in the way it browns and cooks. You can pick up Staub) (or Creuset) at Home Goods, Marshall's, TJ MAxx, once in a while; two of my pieces came from there. I know $300 sounds like a lot for a pot, but amortized over the years, if you are someone who cooks, it's a cost-per-use ratio that is favorable.
I got the red Lodge one pictured here a few weeks ago and I LOVE it. Still need to make no knead bread, though!
I have 2 vintage Le Crueset Dutch ovens, I have both the oval 5.5Qt and the round 5Qt models and depending upon what I'm doing, I'll use either one.
For cooking meats in them, sometimes the oval is preferred for fitting the meat in more comfortably than the round ones, and the half quart larger size of the ovals can sometimes be just enough more pot for what you are making.
Anyway, love them both and one is in the Elise yellow that I think is around 50-53 years old or so, and a dark brown model from no later than 1980, and this last one was my late mother's and both have the white enameled interiors. The major difference is the yellow pot has the ribbed bottom and has the yellow enamel all over, whereas the brown one is like the more current ones with the bare largely flat bottoms.
Use then quite frequently too, and have always wanted LC, and bought the yellow set something like 20 years ago at an estate sale. Got Mom's pot late last year after she died.
Started out with a 3 qt cuisinart and had such a good experience also bought a 5 qt. LOVE both. Perfect for a single guy. I'm done with toxic non-stick forever.
I don't think the difference in cost is as much as people think. I have a chinese made pot that crazed and chipped after a few years. my staub is nearly 10 years old and perfect and I have several 25+ year old Le Creuset pieces that are just beginning to look a little rough. If cost were an issue I would buy Lodge without the enamel and store it seasoned in the oven with my skillets.
I'd almost recommend buying the higher priced for smaller and do a Lodge for larger as for me large size is rarely used, but around 3-4 quarts all the time for breads, soups, etc...
The only thing I make more often in mine than Jamie Oliver's chicken in milk, is this vegetarian lentil stew: http://www.harvest-spoon.com/2012/09/21/red-lentil-stew-with-chard-and-feta-over-millet/ (vegan if you omit the feta).
It's AMAZING. everyone always loves it, and I crave it often.
@firecracker86 I had a 3 quart Martha Stewart (Macy's) and after the first use and normal hand washing, I had multiple chips on the exterior enamel resulting in rust spots. That is seriously not acceptable QC. Frankly, that experience soured me on Martha Stewart enameled cast iron. I have other enameled cast iron pieces from Lodge and LC and the Lodge developed a random chip after 2.5 years of use.
My LC outlet had Aubergine and another purple color about a month back! Some pieces were 40% off.
I think I paid no more than $125-130 after some crazy discounts for my 6.75 quart oval LC about 3 years ago.
I got a lodge as a gift about a year ago and the inside is very stained and spiderweb looking. I also took it camping this summer and it is black on the outside now. Whoops.
If I was in the market I'd probably get a staub so I wouldn't worry about staining.
Look to online auction and vintage sites for excellent, very reasonably priced enameled cast-iron Dutch ovens. Descoware (made in Belgium) and Copco (made in Denmark) were the equal of Le Creuset from the mid-1950s through the 1970s. And used LC is out there in abundance, too; usually more expensive than Copco or Descoware, but at a whopping discount compared with buying new.
Why have I never thought to roast a chicken in a dutch oven? I don't like metallic roasting pans as the skin of the bird often sticks to the pan (no, I don't bother to put it on a bed of veg!) Actually, I really like pyrex for roasting meat, but it can't be heated on the stovetop when deglazing.
Chicken stock!! So easy to do, especially if you've already roasted the chicken in the Dutch oven:
And I also like to do all my prep work for our favorite chicken enchiladas in mine:
I have the 6 qt Costco Kirkland Signature enameled Dutch oven that Manda Wong mentioned, and that thing is a workhorse. I also have a Lodge 3 quart enameled oven that's still running strong except that I had to replace the old black knob that cracked with a steel replacement one.
Paul, I'm with you on that! I have a 5-quart LC that I use all the time and keep on the stove, and a larger Lodge I haul out on occasion to make stuff such as Jamie Oliver's chicken in milk.
Why buy enamel at all? I find they are very easy to chip and unless you plan some fancy-schmancy dinner with the dutch as the centerpiece, it's just wasted money.
Buy the 5-piece Lodge set sans-enamel, you get a 5-qt oven, drip lid, 6 & 9 inch skillets, and a griddle often on sale for less than 60 bucks.
If you have to go bigger you can get a 7-qt with lid for less than 50.
Best set of cookware I ever owned and it will last forever.
I've had my enameled cast iron Dutch oven and skillet with grilling lid for probably 15 years, and I think they cost $75 for the three pieces. I use all of them for just about everything, and they all still look new. I got them on QVC, and they still have a very wide selection of them. HSN also carries quite a few. Both offer monthly payments, but their prices are so much better than the high-end brands that you probably won't need that option. The quality is absolutely the same as Staub, which I also have (but will never waste my money on again).
Btw, I made the Pumpkin Chili, and it was fabulous! Of course I made it in my Dutch oven :)
I love dutch ovens. Own Staub and LeCreuset and just added the Costco 6.5 qt to my arsenal. I bought it because it's made in France and it was the size I needed. It does a great job. I lost my enthusiasm for ovens made in China after I had to carry my Martha Stewart dutch oven back to Macy's after it was recalled. I have a non-enameled Lodge too, but just a caution, wine or tomato based sauces simmering in there for hours can dissolve the seasoning and discolor your sauce. It's best for non acidic dishes, perfect for bread baking.
I've learned the hard way not to buy any cooking-related items made in China. Not only do they break, rust, chip, fall apart, etc, but basics like measurement indicators are off.
I bought the Kirkland brand dutch oven a few years ago and it has held up great. I roasted a chicken tonight with a mix af sweet potatoes and yukon gold potatoes. It turned out great.
Not worth the price? Depends. I have had Tramolina, lodge, and Le creuset. Le creuset has outlasted the other two over the years, so yeah I don't really want to replace it as often as I had to so goodbye to those, it is only LC and Staub from now on. The majority have come from TJ Maxx and the like.
Asking why somone would by pricey? Everybody has their "thing" I wonder the same thing about ridiculous and sometimes ugly purses that are sold, just because of the name brand, or a huge SUV that seats the same as a less expensive car. And if China is what we want to avoid, folks might not want to know how many of your car parts are made in China, even Fords and Chevy.
Thank you for showing options! I've used Le Creuset at friends houses. Awesome. I have a couple Cuisinart dutch ovens I bought for a good price. Just as awesome. Get one in your price range. They rock!
Vegetarian, yes! About half the stuff I cook in mine (and I use it on average 3-4 times a week) is vegetarian. I got a discontinued Sur La Table brand 7 qt one about 2 years ago for $75. I wish I'd bought two. I love my DO. If I had to own only three kitchen pots/pans it'd be a 12" high quality skillet, a crock pot and a DO. Add a grill on the deck, and you've covered all your cooking needs.
*PLEASE* Someone respond with a link to purchase a 30, 28, 26, or - absolute minimum - 24 quart cast iron dutch oven. I cannot find one *anywhere*.
The premium brands such as Le Creuset or Staub are totally worth the extra costs. Had a Lodge enamel and it started to chip within 1 year. The hardest part is choosing between the 2 brands. Read an article that explain the difference between the Le Creuset and Staub Dutch ovens that I highly recommend people to read if you're deciding between the 2 brands.

If this was in the style of Walking dead S2/3 I would watch the series, esp if they they do some clever camera work from an first-person view for those kill moves or something.
Bethesda has registered a trademark for a Fallout TV series
A wily sleuth on the Bethesda forum by the name of 'Conor Murton' (who is sadly not being credited in a lot of stories about this) has uncovered a trademark application that more than likely solves the mystery of Erik Dellum's tweets earlier in the year. Dellum, who voiced the character 'Three Dog' in Fallout 3 had started the rumour mill churning with his hints of future Fallout projects.
The uncovered trademark, which you can read here, is for "Entertainment services in the nature of an on-going television program set in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world."
That seems fairly unambiguous. So, rather than Fallout 4 (which is no doubt coming at some stage), it seems the next wasteland-based project may well be on the television screen.

While I was in Perth in early '09 a WoW friend took me on a little tour and showed me a couple of geek culture shops. From memory one was stocking WoW novels but I can't remember which. Store names are Empire Toys and Freaks and Geeks Toys. Alternative if you don't have an issue ordering over the internet the blizz store stocks the books and they took less than a week to arrive (East Coast Aus)
I share the pain. I live in northern Europe, which up until a few years ago (LotR, of all things) was a black hole when it came to SF and fantasy. (unless dressed as children's stories)
Online retailers. The one and only solution. American-based ones are a bit bad at shipping abroad, but there should be some Australian ones by now, and if not, many European ones will send far abroad.

I read a great Inc. magazine workplace blog about the problems motivating and managing millennials — the below 30 crowd. I am excerpting it as it echoes what college professors and grad professors tell me about their students.
I was talking to a grad school professor last week who lamented how often students inform him of what they deem to be relevant in his lectures and syllabus and what they deem to be a waste of their time. (One thing they find absolutely unnecessary and tedious, he says, is history. Their major concern is the here and now, and they don't see how events of the past have much to offer.)
Repeatedly, professors report that students earning lackluster grades come to them and complain, "I have to get an A in this class," as if they can will themselves a better grade without having to put in any real effort.
Here is an excerpt from the essay by Mayra Jimenez, a 32-year-ol entrepreneur, who says her challenge is "recruiting a group of loyal, competent young employees under 30 years old."
This is only an excerpt, so please read the full blog. (You may want to send the link to some 18-year-olds of your acquaintance.)
By Mayra Jimenez
I'd like to think my problem isn't just that I'm an old fart. I own a luxury swimwear ecommerce platform (and most recently, a brick-and-mortar location in Miami Beach as well) with my husband. We're 32-year-old owners with a startup mentality.
When I was 23, I used to dream about being part of a company that cared about what I thought, that saw my true potential and gave me challenging responsibilities. Turns out, our millennial staffers don't really see it that way –and, while I know that I can't generalize my experience to a whole generation, I also doubt that my young employees are unique.
Here's my list of grievances:
They're cocky. I have yet to give a millennial a leadership position and have them accept their new role with humility. Once you give them a fancy title like Assistant Buyer or Marketing Specialist they automatically seem to think they're God's gift to you, your clients, and your other employees.
They take things for granted. Recent graduates (regardless of where they went to school) from time immemorial have been asked to make copies and bring people coffee. Millennials, on the other hand, seem to think someone should have rolled out the red carpet when they popped out of school.
They think they're exempt from rules. These are all activities they seem to think are normal: sending emails to clients with blatant grammatical mistakes, knowingly telling customers incorrect information (because they think that's a better answer), and ignoring an inquiry from their boss.
They don't follow through. Our normal expectation for an adult over 21 is that they are able to take care of tasks with little supervision without having to be reminded. But that's not the case, with even our most responsible millennials.
They don't want to pay their dues. It's the Culture of Now for them, and frankly, this makes our fairly minor age difference seem like the gap of a century. When I graduated from college, my peers and I were fully aware that our first year or two in the workforce would be spent in dull jobs, because you have to start from the bottom and work your way up.
I feel like breaking open the anti-suicide windows of my 21st floor office and shouting, "calling all smart, stable, and humble fashion-oriented people, can you please show up to work today? On time?"

"recruiting a group of loyal, competent young employees"
Loyalty? Companies are not loyal to employees, so why should they be expecting loyalty back FROM their employees. Companies will lay off people in a minute if they think it will help their bottom line. Employees have learned this, and they will think nothing of leaving one company if another offers something better.

Mrs. Jimenez is also a millennial. After reading her article and some of the comments, I'm not so convinced that it's not a two-way street as far as her management style goes. Plenty of millennials I know (I'm one) are quickly humbled after graduation by the fact they can't a job at a snap of the fingers.
Folks with crappy grades due to lack of motivation or poor work quality have always "needed the A". This is not new. Why are we acting like it is?

I'm not in the same position that the author is, but what I see is millenials finishing college and struggling to get full time work in their area of study. Some of them are like the above, but it can also be said about my generation–the Boomers. We expect special treatment because of our "experience."

Many of the millenials that I know are happy to just get unpaid internships with the hope that maybe it will lead to something better down the road. That is something my generation never had to deal with.

This is absolutely true for new teachers. As a verteran, I have paid my dues in many ways in this profession.
New teachers (and I have only seen this in the last few years) come into the profession and think they know-it-all. They refuse to ask for help and in fact when I offer help, they basically laugh in my face.
They feel that getting to be 'friends' with the students is most important. I have seen new female teachers talking to their kids about their dates from over the weekend.
The fact that their student's socres (on standardized tests, etc.) are much lower than the experienced teachers is lost to them. They will quickly blame "bad questions" or their students had a "bad day". However, each and every time, their students cannot perform.
The administration loves these new teachers. The new teachers are eager, young, energetic, and much less costly. So, the administration favors these new teachers over the experienced teachers.
Another thing that drives the experienced and better teachers out of the profession.

I am a tail end millennial (28) with a Gen X attitude. I despise the baby boomers who have created such a mess of the culture and who refuse to believe the world did not begin when they were born , and I find recent grads to be insufferable self absorbed bores with little to no perspective or context for their knowledge which makes them rather useless. The attitude the blogger speaks of is the end result of an entire lifetime lived under the lefts "self esteem" programs, No winners, no losers, just participation awards and 2+2=5 if you feel good about yourself. I may not have liked it at the time, but being raised by my grandparents for the most part has been good for me in that I learned that life doesn't revolve around me as a natural order, I have to shape it that way thru relentless hard work toward goals i set.

From the article by Ms. Jimenez:
"It's the Culture of Now for them. . ."
From the article, above, by Ms. Downey:
"I was talking to a grad school professor last week who lamented how often students inform him of what they deem to be relevant in his lectures and syllabus and what they deem to be a waste of their time. (One thing they find absolutely unnecessary and tedious, he says, is history. Their major concern is the here and now, and they don't see how events of the past have much to offer.)"
Although placing priority on the here and now has probably always been the thinking of the majority of 20 to 30 year olds, I suspect that this generation of Millennials is particularly susceptible to the thinking of their time in history. Knowledge (with Google access) is increasing rapidly, without the needed, accompanying wisdom. A societal shift from self-service to self-interest has dominated the American psyche for three to four decades. Media access to constant movement – i.e. twitter, blogs, hundreds of channels available on television – of events and in people's lives, makes "news of the moment" more to be valued than understanding historical forces and one's relation to those forces, through reflection.
Usually, there is a subsequent, opposing reaction to dominant societal changes – such as the changes we are witnessing in the thinking of the "now" generation – which will balance the consciousness of the next generation. We shall see.

Even back in 2000 we noticed that starting Architect's were demanding $55,000 to 60,000. Were they crazy!!!. They felt that they were entitled. I had staff Architects with over 10 years who did not earn that. Instead I hired an Architect, who was close to 60 and had been laid off by one of the big firms right before he would become eligible for retirement. He had been making $90K, but he was humble and took the $55K I could offer him. I also knew I had almost 30 years of experience. I also had someone who bothered to help me when I was right out of school working for a contractor 29 years ago. Everything you do comes around. I ended up with a much more reliable employee who was not going anywhere. I hired several above 55 architects and engineers who had been laid off by the big guys just before retirement. I was only 40 or so at the time. They were all greatful. So many would not give them a chance.

The "Millennials" are an interesting group. I'm an early "Boomer" (62) and have three sources of information about the "Millenials":
1. A 21 year-old son who is a senior in the University system. (Math)
2. A girlfriend who is a professor in the university system. (Law)
3. Numerous former students ages 20-35 with whom I remain in contact. (Various fields)
Here's my take on Ms. Jimenez's points, most of which I consider to be valid about all generations of youth:
They're cocky: I agree but much of it is mere bravado.
They take things for granted: This generation is the most "entitled" in history. Education and child-rearing practices have made them this way. The "I paid my money, now give me my 'A'" mentality is a direct outgrowth of the "I showed-up, now give me my trophy" they experienced in youth activities.
They think they're exempt from rules: They are no worse than we Boomers were on this one.
They don't follow through: I'll add, "they are unreliable, even in small things. This seems to be a generational trait, though my son seems to be an exception. I could be off-base here.
They don't want to pay their dues: Largely true but, they are learning this (as Catlady pointed out) by having to work in jobs below their training much longer than we did. Lot's of pissed-off 25-year-old waiters with college degrees.
Some of my own observations on middle-class Millennials:
1. Their "move-back-in-with-parents" after college mentality is strange. I wonder how prevalent this is.
2. They are unlikely to independently achieve the standard of living they are accustomed to as young as their parents did.
3. The "stars" (especially in difficult, in demand majors) will prosper as always. The "average" will be pushed back down toward lower middle-class status.

Bachelors degree vs. Military experience – Why do employers view one as less valuable? If you make a side by side comparison fo the skills employers say a BA degree demonstrates and then look at military service, you will see the military provides the sames skills to include soft skills.

TriciaWarEagle, It would seem that, at your ripe age, you hate all gererations, both those who preceede you as well as the "punks" who follow in your paw prints. Let me tell you something about us Boomers…sure, we made a mess of things, but it sure as hell wasn't for trying, which is one hell of a lot more than I can say for more-recent gens. I (generationaly) saw mans' soujourn into the fringes of the so-called Last Frontier. While my father's generation was responsible for the first "baby steps" of that challenge, it was my gen who accepted the Late President Kennedy's challenge to "make that small step for a man; big leap for mankind". Following my first tour with the military, I made it a personal goal to become as much a part of that effort as I could. I, and many of my generational contemporaries, were so-challenged as to devote our lives to the ever0expanding field of aerospace. We were, in a nutshell, motivated to SEE the challenge and DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
We (generationaly) saw the social movements highlighted by such events as MLK's showing on the Mall in DC; we SAW this challenge; we TRIED to do something about. We didn't agree with many of the things we saw, so, as an unsure youth, WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT IT. We took stands, we demonstrated to the point of acquiring the attentions of policy makers. Whether those demonstrations were the right thing to do or not is a topic for the monday morning quarterbacks of history to haggle over. The point is…WE DID SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE ISSUES WHICH WE FELT WERE IMPORTANT. Though I personaly did not view those who demonstrated against the war in se Asia with favor, today, I view those folks with a favorm far greater than that which I view YOUR generation. WHY? Because we, generational, DID something about those issues which we felt were important. And that, Tricia, is a helluva lot more than YOUR lousy stinkin generation, which has only complained and whined over your miserable lot, has EVER done. So you can sit there and complain…what else is new?…about the gens which surround you. OUR achievements, the toys which YOU enjoy today, are yours to enjoy. Meanwhile, loosers, LIKE YOU, can continue to complain over the hardships which YOU have not been too successful in overcoming.

They're cocky.
Some of that goes with being young but a lot of it comes with being catered to and coddled their entire lives, up to this point. The rod was never spared in the house I grew up in, so I knew I was far from invincible from an early age.
They take things for granted.
When people have never failed, struggled nor had to clean up their own mess, of course they take things for granted.
They think they're exempt from rules.
In many cases, they've always had Mama/Daddy there to fix things and bail them out. It's cause and effect. I can't really just lay a belief that one is exempt from the rules on the young, though. I've noticed it steadily getting worse across all of society in the last 30 years. It doesn't seem to restrict itself to one age group, economic class, education level, etc. Seems like every group got a healthy dose of it, somewhere along the way.
They don't want to pay their dues.
I've noticed that a lot but they've never had to pay any dues before they get in the working world, so it's a foreign concept to them.
When I finished high school, I went to work, full time, the next day. In those days, most everybody I worked around was a WWII Vet. Obviously, after the things they'd seen and done in life, they weren't impressed with the likes of me. Fortunately, I had been taught growing up, to keep my mouth shut, watch and learn, and to work your way up. I was fortunate to have that upbringing and I feel sorry that many kids today don't get the same. The day of awakening comes for everybody, sooner or later, and the later it is, the ruder it usually is.

Millennials are coming of age in an America in which almost everyone has coveted "victim" status—due to imagined disadvantages attributable to race, gender or a variety of physical conditions.
And they've been told that government can and should provide them with personal happiness. But that "the rich" are somehow preventing this. Equally bad, half of all earners pay no income taxes yet expect ever more government programs which benefit them personally.
And the mainstream media is so heavily committed to the Obama presidency that it won't report on key issues in a balanced way.

It is not just the millennials. It is all students and it begins in public school. Public school teachers have been putting up with this from parents and studetns for years. Now that it is in the workplace, you are now figuring it out? Have fun– it is only going to get worse.
July 9th, 2012
1:45 pm
I assure you that if you look hard enough, you'll find the college kids/recent graduates that will pay their dues and be humble.
I like to think of myself as doing the best that I can with what I can. I won't deny that young adults are being pushed by all sides to get money. Georgia Tech takes great strides to say the average income of each major and how it is so above the mean. Problem is, they may not end up with that job because the market can't support it. Now you have a graduate that is bringing in $20,000 a year instead of $50,000 as starting level.
Also, wasn't there a blog post two weeks ago talking about non-paying internships? The interns sometimes had to mop the floors all in the name of "getting experience"?
Very curious how we pivot from taking up the side of being outraged about kids not getting paid the first 3 years of their career and then get mad when they complain about having to shred paper and spend long nights at work doing mundane tasks.

Sometimes I think this "education blog" is a big waste of time. How would anybody with an iota of commonsense expect these young people to behave when the parents and "education system" have spoiled them. This is just entitlement behavior at its worst. I see it everyday as a school teacher. They expect to "learn" on their own terms. If they're not having fun, then they're not learning. God forbid they have to do hard work. They read and listen just enough to be aware of the fact that society is blaming teachers for their laziness and poor behavior, so they do the same when they
class unprepared. If parents and society have taught these kids anything, its how to blame and criticize teachers. What kind of behavior would you expect? What type of attitudes do you think you we have been developing.

Valid perspective. However, I believe the businesses that are evolving and positioning to prosper in the future are those organizations that capitalize on the energy and unique strengths of the largest generation on the planet, the Millennials. Use the Millennials as an indicator for change and innovation. Whether you like it or not, they will be the future leaders and spenders of the new economy.

Take a look at this week's Crossroads and the lackluster graduation rates in DeKalb. I can say that I have noticed this year more so than in any of the past several years that I have taught in DeKalb that the students expected me to give them a pass they didn't earn (or talk to other teachers on their behalf). I had a principal who told us that if we did our jobs and give the students the opportunities to do the work and we spoke with parents, she would back whatever grade the student earned. I had three who didn't pass and three others who did only because their EOCT scores pulled them up just enough. I will begin on August 13 telling students that I am sorry, but I don't accept laziness and I do not give a grade. I'd rather them learn that lesson now than when they are college freshmen on academic probation.

"I've dealt with in five and a half years of business: recruiting a group of loyal, competent young employees under 30 years old."
Isn't that illegal? Can't anyone who was 40 or over that she did not hire use that admission in a lawsuit?
What she says may be true, but I find it funny that her illegal behaviour is also causing her to get lower quality workers.
July 10th, 2012

Too many principals in DeKalb pressure teachers to change grades and in the highest ranks they participate in grade changing. Teachers that complain lose their joss while the administrators keep their jobs and even get promoted. What kind of message does that send to students?

Cry me a river. I'm a millennial and damn proud to be. So what if we're cocky and confident. We know our stuff. We know how to operate a comupter and utilize technology to our advantage unlike most old baby boomers and even some gen xers. We know how to get the job done, work smarter not harder, move up in the workplace, keep a job or move on to the next one, we know loyalty doesn't pay this day in age, we know how to market ourselves, and we know what we want and how to get it. Not to mention, the majority of us are educated and tgats why we're all employed and that's why we all make good money. You old whiners and complainers are just mad because we're better and you're the reason why this country is in the crapper. Don't worry, us millennials will clean up your mess and make the world a better place.

It is always interesting to me that baby boomers like to take credit for things that occurred during their lifetime but that they had no actual part in. For example, the Civil Rights movement which came to a head in the 1960s but which was lead by those who were from the previous generation (MLK, Malcolm X and Ms.Parks were all "greatest generation") What about the space program in 1969? None of those senior scientists were baby boomers. Just because it happened during your lifetime doesn't mean you automatically get credit for it. By that logic, the Millenial generation should get credit for ending the Cold War and the collapse of the Berlin Wall. But for all of you who like to piss and moan that the Millenial generation has done nothing, I query: Do you use Google? PayPal? Facebook? Even the blog technology that you enjoy bashing the young on? All brought to you by Millenial generation innovation. So get off your high horses, because we'll all be working until we're 80 to pay for your social security and medical benefits, which baby boomers are so fond of asserting that they are entiltled too, as well as all that national debt racked up by the last 3 presidents (also all baby boomers)

Also did I say anything about being ungrateful to the military? No, but thank you for throwing that line in for your own benefit. I have numerous veteran friends from the Iraq/Afghanistan wars, a;ll under 30. Do you say thank you to them? Because their sacrifice is no less than those who fought in Vietnam, Korea or WWII.

The home school millennial generation is AWESOME! Expect great things from this small but influential group. To employers, they stand out in the crowd because they were taught to respect authority and learned loyalty from having a close knit family. They had parents WHO WERE THERE! They have manners, life skills (budgeting), and are focused on their life goals. When the going gets tough, they find strength in their faith.

Hmmm…well, I am a Millenial, and though it may hurt to hear this "entrepreneur's" ears, not everyone will be as passionate about luxury swimwear as you want them to be. You may also find that based on that subject of business, you may be recruiting a certain type of Millenial. I also note I'm reading an "article" that is mostly a copy of another person's blog. Tough work! I'm surrounded by Baby Boomers and X'ers who are lazy and incompetent, this is not a generational thing – most people suck and are not all that talented. Glad the entrepreneur has the gusto to go for it, but let's not celebrate the "can-do" attitude of a person that results in one more Baby Boomer's underage mistress buying a swim suit that costs more than I spend on clothes per year.

Katherine, perhaps your "book version" of US History may not reflect the true reality of the era. We, as teens and as young adults, did indeed "participate" in many of the burning national issues of the time. Civil Rights, the war in SE Asia, and the ensuing "coverups" emanating from our capitol…ie Cambodian/Laotian incursions, as well as the overall involvement in a war which, like all wars, sucks far too much in the way of national resources, lives and monies taken away from well-intentioned objectives like Pres Kennedy's and Johnson's Great Society initiatives, etc ALL point toward an era; a youth which saw fit to take action, rather than sit on the side lines and complain. We were often led by not much more than exhuberance and the thoughts of self-invincibility; we often screwed up big time. Kent State was, perhaps, one of my generations' most-shameful events. While we can ascribe blame for this on many parties, both generationaly and organizationaly…ie administration, ROTC presence, Ohio National Guard, etc, etc, ad nauseum, we, as those who, in one way or another, took part, either directly or indirectly, can reassure you, and many doubters, that the Baby Boom generation WAS THERE. While "taking credit" may not be a flattering way of putting it, we, as a generation, took more of an active interest/concern in the many tumultious events of that era. We weren't always right; many of us were, in hindsight, quite brave. Those who chose to leave the Country rather than participate in the war exhibited, what many deemed, cowardice, though, with the buffer of time, their actions may have been considered near-heroic, for they chose to leave family and loved ones for an unknown quantity.
It is neither up to me, you, nor the pages of history to judge the actions of that generation. However, it can never be disputed that, as a generation, in one form or another, we took an active role in the events which would follow us, and generations to follow, well into our so-called golden years. I am quite proud of the tiny sliver of participation which I contributed, although, at the time, I, and many many of my generational contemporaries, had no idea of the long term and how our efforts would be viewed. Let it be said, however, that we, like our fathers' generation, DID NOT simply complain; we jumped into the deep end of the pool and swam like hell…for good, for bad, for right or for wrong; I believe we all can be proud of coming from an era which contributed so much, both in science and,ultimately, in the way we interelate today.
Case/Ashley, thanks for your comments. My purpose, believe it or not, was not to "put anyone in one's place"…although my communication style, both verbally and in writing, tends to be rather "pointy" and (purposely) devoid of the delicasies of political correctness (perhaps this is why I never had any inclination toward politics!).
However, I cannot stress my "disappointment" at a generation which, unfettered by the unpleasant byproducts of reality, have failed, repeatedly, to "take a stand" in their beliefs. Teachers, as a whole, allow themselves to be "operational fodder" for the powers that be…etc, etc, etc.
Baby Boomers will remember the line from that popular song…WHEN WILL THEY EVER LEARN?

Ok, so hot streak has some uses thanks to the idea of blast wave critting 3 mobs, but you are missing the big picture. At less than 35% health we can nuke pyroblast at a 2.5sec cast time. This really will help us get to 80 in the field and god knows how much it will help with PvP. Ok, in raids, maybe not because if you're getting hit below 35% then odds are that your getting crushed to death by an elite mob, however, i can see the potential of some interesting gameplay when you ask healers not to heal you because you dont have aggro and are below 35% HP. This way you can nuke with pyroblast and easily put yourself at he top of the charts.


text: content Recommendation #1: Life Extension Mix™ Now with an even more effective form of Selenium! Tweet For Members Who Want to Take Nutrients Separately The most comprehensive multi-nutrient formula is Life Extension Mix™. Some Foundation members, however, prefer to take their nutrients separately and need only a complete multivitamin-mineral supplement to fill the missing gaps. For Mayer, these members had to rely on commercial "one-a-day" supplements that provide very low potencies. In response to requests for a science-based multi-nutrient, the Two-Per-Day was formulated to provide the greatest potencies that can fit into two daily tablets or capsules. When compared to conventional "one-a-day"products, Life Extension Two-Per-Day contains up to 50 times more potency! Multivitamin products are widely available. Regrettably, most people are unaware of the potencies of each nutrient needed to achieve optimal effects. Commercial companies take advantage of consumer ignorance by putting in such low potencies of certain nutrients that the user derives little or no benefit. The Sample Ingredients Comparison Table reveals how much more potent a daily dose of the Two-Per-Day formula is compared to the leading commercial multivitamin. Few consumers realize that commercial supplements often contain the cheapest form of nutrients that don't provide optimal benefits. For example, the 50 IU of synthetic vitamin E contained in Centrum® Silver® Adults 50+ may provide relatively little vitamin E to the bloodstream. Studies show that synthetic vitamin E is distributed throughout the body only about half as much as natural vitamin E.151-154 The daily dose of Two-Per-Day formula was designed to remedy the widespread deficit of basic nutrients that exists even among multivitamin users. For example, Centrum® Silver® Adults 50+ users get only 500 IU of vitamin D daily as compared to 2,000 IU in Two-Per-Day (four times the amount found in Centrum® Silver® Adults 50+). At the suggested dose of one tablet or capsule two times a day, health-conscious people are ensured they are obtaining potencies of nutrients that have demonstrated positive effects in published scientific studies for most of the nutrients. In addition, Two-Per-Day users also benefit from alpha-lipoic acid, the universal antioxidant that also helps boost glutathione levels as well as Crominex® 3+, a stable and biologically active form of chromium blended with Capros® Amla and PrimaVie® Shilajit.29 When used as part of a healthy diet, chromium plays a vital role in maintaining healthy blood sugar levels in those already within normal range. Since most vitamins are water-soluble, which means they don't last long in the body, it is best to consume these nutrients at least two times a day, ergo the Two-Per-Day formula's design. Each Life Extension Two-Per-Day Tablet or Capsule is moderate-sized for ease of swallowing. To give you an idea of how potent this multi-nutrient supplement is, we compared Two-Per-Day to today's best selling multivitamin (Centrum® Silver® Adults 50+) in the chart above. A bottle of 120 Life Extension Two-Per-Day Tablets retails for $20.00. This represents a two-month supply at the suggested daily dose. If you are a member of the Life Extension Foundation, you can reduce your monthly cost of the Two-Per-Day Tablets to only $6.75 when four bottles are purchased at the same time. Two-Per-Day is also available in capsule form, retailing for $22.00 for a 120-capsule bottle. A member buying four bottles of Two-Per-Day Capsules would reduce their monthly cost to only $7.50. When looking at the price of many commercial brands that only provide a fraction of the nutrients contained in the Two-Per-Day formula, you can quickly see how affordable it is to obtain the potencies of the most important basic nutrients. Many members rely on Life Extension Mix™ with its broad-spectrum fruit and vegetable extracts, minerals, amino acids and vitamins. Those who consume these nutrients in other supplements can use Two-Per-Day Tablets to ensure they are not deficient in nutrients that were long ago established to be essential.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by Winners624 Barely slightly untrue to size. I bought a few different shirts, but this seemed to run a bit small, though only very slightly. I am disappointed. I am color code freak, and wanted to match this with shorts. I was expecting a white shirt with Red Logo but it appears to be a slightly blue tint to it. 8/13/14

See and share Beautiful Nature Photos and amazing photos of interesting places
I would like to bring to your attention a small matter which I find a bit confusing. Lately I have been referred to on my poems pages and elsewhere as "Suzanne". I do not mind the comparison but it is a bit confusing as I do not know whether the comment was intended for me or not - even if it was appended to one of my poems.
I do not know how Suzanne feels about this twin persona, but I guess that she would wish to be recognized as a poet in her own right. My reputation might not be welcome.
Wishing everyone a fine day
In answer to Ruben O.'s comment: This is me....lol

(NBC News) The most famous Christmas tree in the world will be lit tonight, kicking off the holiday season.
The nearly 80 foot tall Norway Spruce will be lit at New York's Rockefeller Plaza.
The tree is covered in 45,000 led lights and topped with a Swarovski crystal star.
The tree has come a long way from the front yard of the Vargoshe family in Connecticut.
"For all the visitors from all over the world that come down to New York especially just to see the tree. It's a big thing," said John Vargoshe whose family donated the tree.
The tradition grows bigger ever year and this year is no exception.
Live performances from a list of entertainers will lead up to the big moment.
Singer Ariana Grande says she is thrilled to be part of the annual event.
"I'm so excited to be a part of the tree lighting ceremony, because I've watched it every single year," said Grande.
For many, the lighting marks the true beginning of the holiday season.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Following the opening day of a conference on Scholars in Exile and Dictatorships of the 20th Century being held in Prague I trailed behind a group of international academics as they were carefully led the few blocks from the National Technical Museum to the hotel where "Welcome Drinks" were going to be served. It was a beautiful and sunny day, and it was difficult to mesh the conversations spilling over from all the talk of Nazism, border crossings, emigration and despair with the sights and sounds of people coming out of the park on bikes and roller-blades, eating ice-cream cones or sitting outside of their local pub with an ice cold beer.
"He lost everything," a Hungarian scholar muttered excitedly to a colleague from Austria, gesturing wildly and almost hitting a passing teenager in the face. " . . but by the time of the Munich pact . ." and "It took years for his work to be published," alternated with "You already had a popsicle. Now it's dinner time!" and "There's no way we'll get a seat there now."
The only point of contact between these two different universes came with the mention of thirst - a thirst for recognition, a thirst for a homeland and then the non-metaphorical thirst for juice, soda and beer being expressed by the hot but less troubled inhabitants of the 21st century as they made their way home.
Click here for an article about the conference and the issues faced by exiled scholars and intellectuals as well as Prague's role as a city intellectuals left and came to.

Not Clare nor her buddies. They wish!There's a 100-year-old woman in England who is awesome. When it came time for Clare Ormiston to go from the double-digit to the triple-digit age bracket, she wanted to do it in style. Sexy style. Forget the congratulatory letter from the Queen and the boring old string quartet, Clare wanted to experience something brand new. When her daughter informed her that she couldn't get her a seat on the moon, Clare said her second choice then was to have a stripper perform.
Like I've always said, there's nothin' like some swinging penises to ring in life as a centenarian.
So Scorpion was called up and he headed to the Glenfield Residential Home to give Clare and her old-timer buddies the show of their lives. Bow chicka wow wow, bow chicka wow wow indeed. Clare said she had a ball (tee hee). When asked how she felt about seeing Scorpion pant-less in front of her, she said, "I enjoyed that. It definitely put a smile on my face."
What a cheeky old girl. I wonder if her two great grandchildren were on hand to enjoy the party. Something tells me they would've been the age of Scorpion's regular customers.
Good for Clare and her retirement village and her family for being so damn funny. I bet she's been to hundreds of birthday parties in her life, and now on her day, when she turned the big 1-0-0, she finally got what she's been waiting for for years: A nasty too-tan wanna-be dancer stark naked in her living room. It was a birthday miracle!
I can't wait to see what Clare plans for her 101st partay. Maybe a little trip to Vegas? There's a sex museum in New York she might enjoy. Then again, there's always Scorpion. There's always Scorpion.
Has your grandmother pulled a crazy stunt like this?
Photo via k4dordy/Flickr
you go Clare! so glad that her family was willing to giver her what she wanted!
Since we are all older now and Christmas presents aren't as necessary my family has moved onto the silly and fun gag gifts, dig through your home and find the best things to give away, this past year someone decide to wrap up some never used lingerie found in their closet, which grandma was lucky enough to recieve! she thought it was hysterical and wore the little nightie the rest of the night, over her clothes though thank goodness! and I could image her wanting a stripper at her 100th birthday celebration!

Madonna:¬†There's a reason that this 50-something diva has always been cited as the undisputed queen of controversy'ÄĒand that's because she is. No other personality in history has been quite so, well, voluntarily controversial as her and considering she's the only one on this list to have a 'top controversies' blog about her life, she'll always be a winner on this front.
If you don't know what exactly is controversial about Madonna, you might want to find something pointy and burst the bubble you're living in, but we'll humour you anyway. Think conical bras, sex on stage, songs about abortions, unseemly (and this is the most polite adjective we could think of) videos, best-selling books about sex and dates with men who could easily be her children, to name a few of the things Madonna has doled out to us over the decades.

Another glittering award for one of the world's greatest footballers, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal international lifted the prestigious honour by firing home 40 goals in Spain's La Liga last season - nine more goals than any other player in the top division of a European league. It was the second time that Ronaldo had won the award, making him the eighth player to join that elite band.
"There are more important things, such as winning as a team for the fans, who expect a lot from us, who expect a very important trophy, so I wouldn't chose this instead of any other cup, the Liga, or Champions League"
"It is good to compete with the best. I like to compete with Messi and with all the best players in Europe"
"That [the Balon d'Or] is opinion, votes. This [Golden Boot] is on merit."
"We don't compare ourselves with Barca or any other team. We have our own style of play. If Madrid wins, I win. What I want is that for Madrid to win."
"If not everyone likes God, what chance do I have?"
Away from talk about himself, he also talked about the future of another famous Portuguese. "Mr. Mourinho is doing perfect here in Real Madrid. I hope he will stay with us for many years."
Upon winning The Golden Boot 2011, Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to win this award in two different leagues.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I love the way raid calling works in my guild. We just have a few people who organically figure out what they tend to be good at noticing and we take responsibility for that specific thing. For example, I'm the one who calls out target switches usually, while another person might call out adds, etc.
In our guild we have 2 callers: me (hunter) for ranged specific tasks and general movement and positioning, and melee/tank caller if needed. Our healer leader calls only for br and our raid leader calls mostly only for hero
We started calling more or less for everything and it went really too noisy!!! After some experiments we cut down interrupt calls (except at Maloriak if we loose the count ot the adds), spike damage calls (really irritating for healers), tank switching etc.
At Valiona we put raid markers on the 2 sides, so we can call for the deep breath using "middle" "star" and "diamond". Door/stairs, cardinal directions, side/center didnt work... Sometimes some ppl show they are not sure even about left and right, so i found it's a lot better to use a raid marker. Now that they are so visible it's easy to see where to go!
And yes, "clockwise" and "counterclockwise" are very good direction to use
I agree also that 2 callers are good to underline between the calls reason. As for the words to use, in average we dont call for the specific name of the boss' ability, but for generic spells: everything you dont have to stand in is "fire" for us, even void zones, green puddles, etc; at Council i warn for "Shield incoming - switch target", not for Aegis of Flame, and so on. The only spell i call by name is Worshipping, it's too long to resume what to do at it :)
Btw, during the learning time for a new boss we also play mute fights. One or 2 tries without the raid caller helping means you have to learn DBM warnings names and timings - and hopefully you can understand what's going on around you. After this the raid caller start to help and ppl can concentrate on their duties

Very clean and professional sounding, though I didn't understand the lyrics.But i 'll give 5/5 for this:-)… way to go.
Please listen to my uploads.
Pragyan Anand misra said
Dear Srinivas,
Great composing….for the first time I am hearing an odia song in Muziboo and it makes me feel proud that are such great composers like you who are coming up in the present odia music scene and I hope people like you will replace those group of idiots out there who are composing and marketing stupid songs in the name of adhunika odia sangeeta……so it was really refreshing to hear a nice song in Oriya after many many days….i hope that you will enrich us with your beautiful music in the future….you definitely belong to the NUAPIDHI!!!!………one suggestion though….both of the singers in this song are very good but I personally feel that if the lady singer did not stress too much on the words, for example, "ati apanara" they way she said "apanara" sounds artificial and it would be even better if she would have just delivered the words with a more natural feeling…well thats what i feel…please correct me if I am wrong….but overall 5/5!!!……looking forward to such great songs in the future!!
Pragyan Anand Misra
