Dinner at the Dork's
September 27, 2011
Need menu ideas for casual-but-special food that can easily be eaten off paper plates held on laps.
Once or twice in the next few months we will be hosting three other couples at our apartment for a meal, and we are really not set up to do a sit-down dinner for eight. I don't have enough dishes or flatware and I'd need to buy a card table and chairs in order to have enough table seating. However, all the couples will be taking turns hosting, and I suspect that we will be having the sit-down company dinner when we go to their homes.
It would be silly (and futile) to try and recreate the "dinner party" experience in our small, offbeat/eclectic apartment, but I would like to make sure my guests enjoy themselves and don't feel like we half-assed our turn to host.
We're planning to arrange seating around the living room and serve the meal buffet-style. I need some ideas for making the dinner nice and a little bit special even though it won't be a sit-down meal. I especially need food ideas which:
Can easily be eaten one-handed off a paper plate (so no foods that require two hands to keep under control like sandwiches with drippy filling, corn on the cob, etc.)
Are not your basic "I need to feed a crowd on the cheap" budget party recipe (so no vats of sloppy joe or shredded chicken)
Will be finished cooking (if a hot dish) and ready to serve when the guests arrive
Are not "tricky" to make… I'm a decent cook but my skills are not what I would consider advanced
Appliances I own: oven with a four-burner range; microwave; crockpot; rice cooker; electric skillet. We do not have an outdoor grill.
I could also use some tips on creating a nice, welcoming ambience in our space. It's not going to be a party atmosphere, just a pleasant meal and conversation with new friends. The other couples involved range from early 50's to mid 60's, if that makes any sort of difference, and seem like your average middle-to-upper-middle class folks.

Tiny crab cakes (or other cakey kinds of things, check for rissoto ones perhaps?); prime rib sliders (smallish sandwhiches, sever with horseradish sauce; fine at room temp); chicken satay; tiny quiche.

Stuffed pitas, burritos, or even tacos wrapped in foil (turned back at the NOM HERE FIRST end). Designed to be eaten one-handed, subject only to the limits of your imagination, relatively easy to make, and thanks to the recent food truck explosion recipes and suggestions are easy to find.

Could you do something like
? A collection of little dishes, some served cold, to be eaten with bread. (At least this is how I choose to interpret it at our house, when we basically eat it picnic-style.)
You could have some hummus, cucumber/tomato/onion salad, olives, etc. for cold dishes, and then meatballs or something for meat if desired, and then THE GREATEST THING EVER:
Take a big chunk of feta. Whack it into bits. Dump it in a baking dish you won't mind serving it in. Chop a bunch of tomatoes and garlic, dump that on top of the feta. Throw some oregano on it. Drizzle large quantities of olive oil over the whole thing. Bake in a pre-heated 350ish oven for half an hour or so - it's very forgiving. You can heat it just to hot or until the feta starts to get more bubbly, whichever. Scoop up bits of it with bread. It is so delicious.

Empanadas! Can be served with cool napkins (paper or cloth), stay warm and don't need fussing with, and go well with a nice South American red wine. Latin music of your choice could also work for ambiance.

I've had really good luck with slices of quiche. It's super easy to make and it's pretty self contained for eating.
One time at an impromptu dinner party, I threw in some leftover duck. People were impressed!

I was also going to suggest empanadas. They can be made of meat, cheese and stuff (mushrooms, ham, peppers, etc), spinach, and so many other things. They don't have to be hot when served, just warm enough to still have yummy insides.

I really suggest real dishes. See if you can borrow a neighbor's or head down to your local Salvation Army. If not, I really suggest you spring for the super expensive but durable paper plates.
Not eating off paper plates will go a long way of upgrading from cheap to nice. Paper plates are awkward, especially if you don't have a table to sit at.
If you have one and your TV isn't covered (such as in enclosed entertainment center) try to find a way to cover it.
Use lower wattage bulbs or fewer lights to give it a cozy feel.
Have enough flat surfaces to put drinks on and coasters available. It'll be even more awkward if they have to juggle their drinks along with their plates.

So you have some kind of large-ish low table (like a coffee table) that could go in the middle of the room within easy access of everyone? If so I second the suggestion for a selection of meze, or, if you'd rather go Spanish, tapas. Elegant and delicious, and many can be made hours in advance.
If you don't have a coffee table that you could put all the dishes of tapas on you could always plate up a selection for each person.

Sushi? Curry + naan ? Samosas or some sort of fried/wrapped bite-sized food (dumplings, spring rolls)?

Your requirement sounds similar to any number of stylish "mingling" events that I've attended, though not usually in someone's house. My thoughts based on that...
- Does it have to be paper plates? A proper plate isn't any harder to eat off with one hand, and does make for more of a sense of occasion.
- If people are able to sit down, and put their drinks down, that'll make a big difference. The worst thing is when you find yourself trying to juggle holding a plate, holding a glass, and actually eating!
- The virtue of a buffet is you can offer a good variety of nice things in bite size peices. Apart from the things people have mentioned lots of foods in Chinese and Indian cuisine are made up of bite-size pieces that can be easily eaten one handed with a fork. Indian food was actually originally intended to be eaten one-handed with no cutlery, e.g. scooping up curry with a piece of naan, or eating a samosa with your hands.)

Meze is a great idea, and you can buy a lot of it ready-made: hummus, stuffed grape leaves, a nice sausage (I just tried loukaniko for the first time, my new favorite thing ever!), good bread (flat or baguettes or whatever). You could make a few fancy things like figs stuffed with cheese (maybe that's a little more tapas-y than meze-y, but who cares!) or borek/spanikopita or kibbeh.
I don't know if that's dorky enough?
Also I agree that it is worth your while to get dishes. Eight or twelve salad plates don't take up much room and don't cost much more than good paper plates (if room is a real issue you can even buy them at the thrift store and then give them back when you're done).

In case it wasn't clear from what I just wrote... pretty much any dish can be made suitable for what you need as long as it is made in a small version or cut into into small pieces in advance. e.g. You can do pies, as long as they are small pies, potatoes if they are in the form of new potatoes or a potato salad, duck if it's in slices, and so on. So maybe think what you'd ideally like to serve if you weren't constrained for space, and then work out how to adapt that to fit the situation.

One of the most fun and memorable dinner parties I've ever been a part of was sans-furniture. It was a fondue dinner hosted on the living room floor. The hosts spread a big blanket on the floor and we all sat down there cross-legged or slightly reclining. We had a cheese fondue course (melted cheese with apples, bread, and veggies for dipping) followed by a bourguignonne (oil) fondue where we each cooked our own tiny bits of meat (marinated steak and chicken). The fondue pots were placed on a large-ish wooden cutting board in the center so as not to damage the floor in case of drips. Wine flowed freely and conversation flowed even more so. It was wonderful. We've also had a similar party on the floor with Swedish
(everyone grilled their own cheese, ham, sausages, bread, and veg).

This is the main way that I entertain: tapas or mezze or finger foods. It works extremely well! Instead of a structured beginning-middle-dessert meal, people get to graze all evening. I generally serve dishes from our coffee table and occasional table; when we're serving something more substantial or having a big crowd, I set up a buffet and bar in the other room and add a few smaller dishes in the main gathering/seating area.
Some successful dishes I've served include
- a good substantial mezze, as described above. Some good ideas for that big platter: hummus or bean dip, baba ghanoush, cubes of feta, olives, stuffed grape leaves, warm wedges of pita.
- pizza or --- slightly fancier but no harder! --- galettes on a yeasted dough. (
Deborah Madison's roasted squash galette
has become a household favorite. We even served it at our wedding!) I often make them in advance (but NOT the egg wash), flash-freeze them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, then wrap tightly and freeze. When you're ready to bake, pull it out and put on a baking sheet, still with the parchment under it. Let the dough thaw and soften a bit, brush with egg wash (try not to skip it; it takes just a minute and makes the dish look very polished and fancy), and bake it up. Two tips for serving as finger food: you can make mini-galettes or mini-pizzas, or you can make them into loooooong rectangles instead of circles. Cut into a zigzag, a rectangle produces plenty of easy-to-handle wedges but looks like fancy pastry, not take-out.
- frittata a la anything at all. You can serve it warm or cold, and you can make it on the stovetop or bake it in a well-oiled glass or stoneware dish. For finger foods or tapas, I make a frittata nice and thick, cut it into wedges or squares, and serve it piled on a plate. If you top the frittata with [sesame seeds/pinenuts/slivered almonds/shredded parmesan] and pop it under the broiler, you add flavor and crunch and give it a slightly prettier appearance.
- Quiche is great, and like frittata can be served hot or cold. When we're serving tapas-style, I like to pre-cut some smaller slices as well as some larger slices and leave a knife so guests can take just as much as they like. (I like to try everything but a full slice of quiche fills me up!)
- small twice-baked potatoes, which you can stuff with your favorite ingredients: cheese, vegetables, sausage. A household favorite: caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, and either spinach or broccoli, lightly cooked and well-drained. I add some milk and egg to bind the potato together. These can be made well in advance and baked slowly before your guests arrive; I like to pop them under the broiler for a few minutes to crisp up the top.
- I like to make a big platter of crudites, and being thoughtful here can really class up the table. Some ideas: cucumber slices or spears, tomatoes (halved grape tomatoes work well here), carrots, blanched broccoli or green beans, blanched asparagus spears, snap peas, jicama.
- I do a lot of "tiny somethings stuffed with something": good soft dried figs stuffed with goat cheese and broiled; dates stuffed with goat cheese; tiny peppers stuffed with hummus; endive stuffed with chopped-vegetable salad; tiny pita stuffed with hummus and baba ghanoush.
- Fondue or raclette actually takes advantage of your lay-out! We have fondue every Christmas and I make a pretty elaborate spread of vegetables to dip into it: roasted potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, carrots; blanched (and well-dried) broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, snap peas, asparagus; fresh grapes or chunks of apple and pear; dried cherries or cranberries to pop atop a cheese-covered chunk of bread; light bread and dark bread. Though the roasted vegetables are best fresh from the oven, I have made them ahead and even travelled with them and they were
reheated. The fondue can be made and held over the lit pot for a nice long while. You can offer a simple light dessert as a separate course, maybe sorbet topped with macerated fruit.
- The problem with sandwiches is their size. If you make or buy tiny loaves of bread, a smorgasbord works well because people can easily handle a small sandwich one-handed.
- For that matter, I get a lot of mileage from make-your-own-______ buffets, especially when serving to a crowd with diverse dietary needs. I've served sandwich buffets, a baked potato bar (WOW, what a smash that was!), salad buffets (greens offered with an assortment of raw or chilled cooked vegetables, fruits, cheese, protein like bacon or chopped chicken, and a few dressings, with a big batch of hot garlic bread on the side), fondue, tacos or burritos (which can be classed up with home-fried shells or
homemade flour tortillas
, which are surprisingly not-hard and astonishingly delicious), and one salad night when I served green salad, homemade potato salad, tomato salad, and chicken salad along with rolls.
I echo the suggestion that real plates, even mismatched ones from the thrift shop, will help a lot, but if you're getting paper plates, I suggest small ones. They have proportionally more edge, so they are a bit more rigid, and if you're serving tapas-style, people won't need big plates. Also, people
want to put down their plates even if it's just for a moment (to get a drink, to step outside for a cigarette or phone call, to go to the bathroom, whatever), and the larger the plates and the group, the harder that is to work out.
On the other hand, paper is fine! We're planning a tomato-soup-and-grilled-cheese party, and we're definitely using paper bowls. (Heck, we miiiiiiiight even own enough bowls, but this one time I am indulging myself by
washing out three dozen crusty soup bowls after the party.) If you end up using paper, I suggest getting the heavy pressboard plates, not flimsy fluted paper.
Smaller plates also mean you might be able to rummage around and find enough in your cabinets: salad plates, dessert plates, saucers, whatever.
It would be silly (and futile) to try and recreate the "dinner party" experience in our small, offbeat/eclectic apartment, but I would like to make sure my guests enjoy themselves and don't feel like we half-assed our turn to host.
Perhaps most importantly, smaller plates mean you are NOT trying to mimic the sit-down dinners your friends have been throwing, but are throwing your own kind of party! I have plenty of big dinner plates, but I never bring 'em out for a tapas party; we use salad size or saucer size, and everyone seems to enjoy filling and refilling their plates. (I also make sure I put out extras, in case someone loses track of theirs or wants to start fresh.)
I need some ideas for making the dinner nice and a little bit special even though it won't be a sit-down meal.
First of all, shake off the idea that this is somehow not-quite-as-nice. It's a great way to entertain! It's a nice change to sit, relaxed and cozy, rather than being static around a table. If you have a coffee table or some occasional tables upon which to serve, guests will find themselves leaning in toward each other, passing dishes, and engaging in a different way than they do at a table.
My biggest tip for living-room entertaining: try to make everything easy to get at. Keep bar tools and fixin's (bottle opener, ice bucket, lemon wedges, whatever they're likely to need with what you're offering) handy to the drinks. Be sure you have plenty of napkins (again, cloth classes up a party but paper is fine, especially if guests might get saucy or sticky) placed somewhere obvious; ditto forks. It's good to have extra plates and glasses so people can start fresh.
In food prep, I think a tiny bit of attention to detail makes a big impression, like the frittata topping or the egg wash I describe above. It takes just a few seconds but it makes a difference! Some little touches you might try:
- Make lemon wedges a little prettier by trimming off the center stem and seeds. Just an extra whack with a knife cleans it up nicely.
- Well before your dinner, wash a bunch of parsley and roll it in a towel to dry. Now whack it up with a big chef's knife (or in a food processor, whatever). Roll it in a paper towel and squeeeeeeze. Gently shake it from the paper towel into a paper-towel-lined jar or Tupperware. Now you have diced parsley that will keep in the fridge for days and which you can sprinkle into or over dishes in a few seconds. Parsley looks good (especially on pale dishes like hummus or goat cheese), but it also adds lovely fresh flavor. I never make hummus or baba ghanoush without adding a BIG HANDFUL of parsley.
- Also well before your dinner party, take a packet of nuts (slivered almonds, crumbled walnuts, crumbled pecans, pumpkin seeds, whatever you like) and toast them in a dry frying pan over medium-low heat. Just toss them occasionally and toast until they start to darken slightly and smell nutty. Don't be tempted to turn up the heat or they'll burn when you turn your back. Keep them in a jar or Tupperware and toss them over something that needs some embellishment: a plain salad, a plain vegetable, a simple dip, a log of goat cheese.
Maybe you don't need lemon wedges or parsley or nuts --- but the idea still applies: these thoughtful, uncomplicated little touches add up.

By eating one-handed, that just means one hand to stabilize a plate, and one to hold a fork, yes, not that you're actually looking for finger-foods?
I'd go with a good pasta recipe, slightly undersauced - keep all the vegetables or shrimps or whatever add-ins to sub-bite-sized pieces (1/2" cube), some moderate-sized "short pasta" like rotini or bow ties, keep the sauce thick (not drippy) or very light (garlic+oil), and preferably non-staining (alfredo, carbonara, etc). If you're thinking fancier than rotinis, consider small ravioli or tortellini, but make sure they're small enough that people won't feel the need to cut them into two bites.
The thing that might make this a better dinner would be to do it in courses - one of the things that annoys me most about table-less eating is when you get a big plate, with salad, pasta, and garlic bread, and fruit salad, and you go sit down, but your lap's not level, and everything oozes around so there's salad dressing in the pasta, and pasta sauce soaking the garlic bread, and a faint garlicky taste to the fruit. So, bring out the salad, provide bowls or small plates, everyone eats. You produce the pasta dish from where it's been baking, and everyone gets a plate, and eats. You produce a trifle and small bowls, and everyone gets dessert.

It's not haute cuisine, but the one time I took a covered dish to an office party it was hands-down the hit of event...not one crumb left. My Mom (I was young at the time and still lived at home) made mini-stuffed cabbages. Now, granted, her stuffed cabbage is awesome to begin with and isn't like the tomato-sauce covered version you often see at restaurants/delis (in fact, she doesn't use any tomato sauce). She makes a hamburger and rice mixture with some spices (onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper) and in this case rolled tiny portions in to small sections of cabbage leaves. Stuck a toothpick in each little one prior to serving, and voila. Not messy, very tasty, and different than the usual party tidbits.

Definitely try to get some extra plates. It's not like you're hosting 20 people for a one-time shindig; it's 6 people for a regular meal. CB2 has super cute plates and they're not terribly expensive. But I'd advise you to check out the local goodwill or thrift store. I've found some amazing sets of plates for $2-5! Or you can make the mismatched component a deliberate choice - gather a number of different wine glasses, water glasses, plates, serving utensils. Get a bouquet of flowers and divide them up into tiny little milk-glass vases that you can always find at the thrift store. You can even get a few extra chairs and a cute vintage folding table. Think about going for a look
like this
Check out the books called "
Flea Market Style
" and
, and scan through some blogs with those keywords - you'll get some great ideas.
- serve drinks in jelly jars with very cute striped paper straws
- collect things of similar color/style -- a bunch of mismatched blue glasses, for example. Or plates in a certain color scheme.

These are some really great answers, thanks! I've marked a few that I think I may want to try for the first dinner as best answers, but they are all very good.
I was not convinced on the real plates until barnone's answer, when I realized that mismatched plates as a "style" would actually go really well with my decor, and hopefully will allow me to get away with mismatched silverware as well (even cheap flatware from Walmart is kind of pricy... I think the cheapest one I saw was $18 for four place settings, and I'd need two sets.) The bonus is that this will give me a reason to go thrift shopping again, which I haven't done in awhile. So yay!
I like the empanadas idea, or something Latinish. I have a recipe for a tres leches cake that I've been wanting an excuse to make.
And thanks for the reminders that everyone will need a place to set their drink. I had not thought of that, but looking around my living room I see I'm going to need to drag in the occasional table from the other room and maybe pick up a TV tray of some sort.
Again, great answers everyone. Thanks for the ideas.

I realized that mismatched plates as a "style" would actually go really well with my decor
Oh, definitely! It's not a makeshift solution; it's a style. barnone makes the excellent suggestion to choose a unifying element, but it doesn't have to be color; you could pick plates that are different colors but the same size and shape, or they could be completely different but have a unifying pattern (for example, all floral-patterned or all abstract-patterned), or all square, or whatever appeals to you on the day you start to collect them at the thrift shop.
I really love this look, and it helps me keep track of my glass and plate at an eat-on-your-lap dinner. (By the way, an eat-on-your-lap dinner is the
kind of dinner I've been invited to or hosted in recent years, except at my mother's house. You are not alone!) I'm even thinking about buying some remnants from the fabric store and making a dozen mismatched napkins to replace my matchy-matchy cloth napkins. Embrace the eclectic style!
You got so many great ideas here; I know I'll be revisiting this thread for menu inspiration. Empanadas make great lap-meals, and most recipes can be made ahead and frozen, so you just pop them in a preheated oven to bake and add a salad or a vegetable. If you want an easy way to gussy up an empanada dinner, you can buy or make a few kinds of salsa and make some guacamole.
barnone mentions buying a supermarket bouquet and splitting it up, which is a great tip. I want to add two ideas to that: 1) You might not need vases. Look around your cabinets: I use pitchers, glasses, antique Ball jars, even tiny sugar bowls and creamers for tiny little bud vases. 2) if you buy a multi-colored bouquet, you can glam up the smaller bunches by splitting them
by color
into several smaller monochromatic arrangements.
Example: The Fella recently came home from the store with a bunch of lavender and pink flowers with one big yellow chrysanthemum in them. We don't really have anywhere in our living room to put one big bouquet, so I rearranged them: a pitcher full of lavender flowers, a smaller and shorter vase of pink flowers, and that one big chrysanthemum, barely trimmed down, standing tall in a pretty glass bottle. You get a lot of bang for your buck when you do this instead of sticking one assortment into a vase and putting it in the center of the table.
You sound like a really fun, enthusiastic, and welcoming host. Have fun --- I'm sure your guests will!

Last two things about a great dinner party: background music (tons of threads here on that) and good lighting, preferably from lots of sources, and not just glaring light from top down.
You're going to have an awesome party, and a series of dinner parties at different houses sounds great. I"d love to start a cookbook supper club, where everyone brings a meal or two from a certain cookbook. The next time around, you'd choose another cookbook.

I stopped by the thrift store on the way home from work and found a bunch of dishes... weren't quite as cheap as I'd hoped (2-3 dollars per plate!) but they're more fun than what I'd have bought new, that's for sure. And I found a bunch of assorted flatware for ten cents apiece, and a sparkly candle and some other stuff. It was a productive trip.

Only criticism… would have been much sexier with slower moves… I see the dancing in this video akin to a strip club routine, but when you dance for the man you love, it should be slower… It should be about anticipation… It's the difference between fucking and making love… anyone can fuck, not everyone can make love and you can only make love to the person that you do care for…
Some great moves in here, though…

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Austin Hollins scored 20 points and grabbed a career-high 14 rebounds as Minnesota pulled away from South Dakota State for a 75-59 victory Tuesday night.
DeAndre Mathieu added 15 points, and Elliott Eliason had 10 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks for the Gophers (9-2), who had 21 assists and only seven turnovers. They held a 40-30 rebounding advantage.
Jordan Dykstra led the Jackrabbits (4-7) with 16 points and 16 rebounds, and Chad White added 15 points.
The Gophers had a special guest behind their bench, with coach Richard Pitino's father, Rick Pitino, wearing a maroon-and-gold scarf over a matching Minnesota jacket and shirt. The Louisville coach took advantage of a night off to travel north and support his son's new team, and he looked every bit the coach in his seat, clapping emphatically, intently glancing up at the scoreboard and wincing when plays went against the Gophers.

Registration page not working
I am having an issue with my login and register page. I have BP 1.7 installed on WP3.5.2 I also have the latest Woocommerce installed.
What is happening is that the register page redirects to the woocommerce login and register page and if I go into the editor of the register php it tells me that buddypress registration is disabled?
I am supposed to be launching this site next week and I have only noticed this issue…
Need help urgently so I can continue testing the site.
Thanks in advance.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Paul George and Lance Stephenson combined for 43 points and the Indiana Pacers remained unbeaten in the young season with an 89-74 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night.
Stephenson scored 22 points, including 10 in a 14-4 run midway through the fourth quarter that gave the Pacers a 79-61 lead with 7:46 to play.
George, who had 21 points and 13 rebounds, and scored all the points in a key third-quarter run for Indiana (3-0).
Dion Waiters scored 17 points, Kyrie Irving had 15 and Anderson Varejao 14 for Cleveland (1-2), which dropped both ends of a two-night road trip after beginning the season with a homecourt win.
Stephenson began the final surge by hitting a 3-pointer from the left side, scored on a layup, drove the lane, then finished the run by knocking down a 28-footer from the left side. That pushed Indiana's lead to 18 points, and both coaches substituted liberally.
Roy Hibbert added 11 points for the Pacers, who played without guard George Hill, who sat out with a sore left hip. Replacing Hill, who scored 19 points in the Pacers' opener, was C.J. Watson, who scored seven points and dished out a team-high six assists.
Cleveland, which had scored the last six points of the third quarter to pull within 62-55, trailed 65-57 early in the fourth quarter.
Stephenson was 7 of 13 from the field, including 5 of 7 from 3-point range. George was 8 of 17 from the field, including 3 of 6 from beyond the arc.
George fueled the only real run of the first half, starting with a monster jam with 4:06 to go in the first quarter and finishing the 8-2 surge with two free throws as the Pacers took a 21-16 lead after one quarter.
Varejao started out fast for the Cavs, scoring eight points in the first 4:42, but the Pacers began to defend him at the free throw line and he did not score again in the half.
The Pacers shot 42 per cent (16 of 38) in the first half to Cleveland's 31 per cent (13 of 42) and outrebounded the Cavs 30-25.
Cleveland, which shot 29.2 per cent (7 of 24) in the first quarter, improved to 34.9 per cent (29 of 83) for the game. The Pacers finished at 41.6 per cent (32 of 77).
Indiana outrebounded Cleveland 51-37.

I've not studied it, but I'd be amazed if the biggest improvement in performance could be achieved by anything other than improving the correction process, and that's speaking as a Dragon user about Dragon. Have you guys (or anyone else) sat down and worked out how long/much effort/detraction-from-the-task/ etc. each step of document production with SR takes people? Fascinating stuff! Regards and appreciation, Sacha -----Original Message----- From: macvoice-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com [mailto:macvoice-bounces at listserver.themacintoshguy.com] On Behalf Of Chuck Rogers Sent: 08 November 2004 17:27 To: A place to discuss speech recognition on Macintosh. Subject: Re: [MV] Where are we now? Brian (and everyone else): Your question is sort of a skewed "horse or cart" question. The answer is "both" in the sense that the cart can only go as fast as the horse (or horses) pulling it, but the cart must also be built to handle both the speed at which the horse(s) will take it, as well as the roads on which it will travel. As computers get faster, engines will become more capable, and software will be written to take advantage of increased computing power. In the case of iListen, we still have work to do on the cart (in terms of enhancements to the application) that we think are more worth the results we will see than building a new cart for the faster horse(s). To refer back to my original message, the horses are not significantly faster than they were two years ago in terms of speech recognition. Will you get better accuracy from a G5 than a G4? In the vast majority of cases, yes (as long as you keep in mind there are other factors besides just processing speed that affect recognition). But we aren't at the point yet that we should forgo building enhancements to the existing app and turn our attentions to a new speech engine. We are at the point where we are looking at what that engine might be, and starting to scope out how we might migrate to it over time. Once that is in place, we will have a better handle on when we start writing code for a new engine. So to answer your question directly: the major roadblock towards better accuracy is indeed processing power. But a 4Ghz G5 (or even G6 or G7) probably won't provide significant boost there either. You are really looking at computers 5 or 10 years from now before an engine can really be thought of differently in terms of how it processes information. The existing engines will continue to be improved over this time, but such changes will be incremental, not monumental. In terms of ease of use, there is a lot we can do on our end now, without the need for faster processors - and some of the enhancements to which I have been referring will certainly be in that direction.

It's hard to be a snail.
When there's no rain or hail
For a year.
I am in despair.
There is an awful drought
Not much water is about.
Plants that were juicy green
Are hard, and dry, and taste obscene.
No longer is there the pleasure of soaking for an hour.
In a sprinkling shower
Now, water comes in a quick bucket burst
That knocks you off your perch,
Once I got a bath of scented soap
Which boosted ego beyond my wildest hope.
I strutted in the garden with striding pride
Which is very strange because a snail can never stride
Mostly I get soaked from the kitchen sink
A filthy, dirty mixture that makes me stink.
It dries so quickly hard, and sticks to shell and skin
Spoiling any chance of another weeks love-in
The ground's so hard and rasping dry
That sliding makes me cry
The stinging grit is needle sharp
I inch along, I never dart.
The gardens dry, the plants won't grow
But I'd hate to see it go.
The latest news makes me quite sick
I hear they want to cover it with brick

Outdoor Furniture Cleaners and Protectants 3 3
Not what I expected I purchased the "outdoor furniture cleaner" thinking this is the one I needed for the sunbrella cushions I purchased from Frontgate. But this is actually for wood, wicker, wrought iron, stainless steel and aluminum. I wish the online description for the product was clearer. PLUS, you can't just spray this onto the furniture. This is concentrated so you have to mix it with water. So I'm not sure why it comes with a spray pump. I'm only keeping it because it's not worth the hassle and cost of returning. December 21, 2012
Didn't work We tried to use this, but it didn't take out any of the stains. SHOUT worked better than this cleaner. May 21, 2013
looks like a good idea Haven't had a chance to use this product yet due to the snow, but I intend to use it on the top of my aluminum outdoor table that has been outside all winter March 25, 2013

DNA electronics point of care device detects predisposition to drug side effects
A prototype handheld device that analyses DNA to predict how patients may respond to their prescription medication has performed well in a preliminary pilot study, researchers announce today.
Scientists at the Imperial College London spinout company DNA Electronics (DNAE) have successfully tested a prototype device that they have developed to determine if patients are genetically predisposed to suffering adverse reactions to prescription drugs. The team believe the success of the pilot study takes the device, the Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) DR (pronounced "Snip" doctor), one step closer to being used in the healthcare industry.

One of the inherent problems with digital photos is keeping tracking of them. Ideally the camera would figure out whose in the scene and tag accordingly. For now, our best bet is a GPS logger, such as the Holux M-241 (resembles a Kodak analog film roll). Just slip the device in your pocket and turn it to on. Once it acquires coordinates it will capture its location (up to 130,000 way points) in preset intervals with time stamp. Once the photos are uploaded you simply need to match the time stamps and bingo, you've got tagged pictures. Sure it still doesn't tell you who (wink) or what you were doing, but at least they'll be more manageable then 'pic-10102′. The M-241 also works as a Bluetooth GPS dongle enabling compatible devices to become full blown GPS units.

More on Q2 Housing Market
Here's some telling data that didn't make into Monday's Shelby County home sales story.
Not only did average home sales in June dip 4 percent to $128,566 from $133,531 in June 201, but a staggering 54 percent of all home sales were sold for under $100,000.
The largest home sale was for a property located on Grandview Ave. The 5,300-square-foot home closed on June 1st for $962,500.
It's not a surprise that the Obama administration and the U.S. Housing and Urban Development announced a pilot program on Monday, July 11, that sets out to help trigger economic growth and recovery in some of the nation's hardest hit cities – Memphis included.
The program will partner federal officials with local decision-makers in six cities to seek ways to revive the cities and its urban centers. The other cities are Detroit; Chester, Pa.; Fresno, Calif; Cleveland; and New Orleans – all selected on the basis of economic need, potential for economic growth, and geographic diversity.
The process will involve creating "Community Solutions Teams," made up of employees from various different federal agencies – such as the Small Business Administration, and the Labor, Transportation and Commerce Departments. Those national experts will then partner with local officials to address the top economic concerns mayors in each city have identified, obtain federal funds and leverage local and regional resources.
"Too often, the federal government has been part of the problem, rather than part of the solution," HUD secretary Shaun Donovan said at a Monday press conference.

Tools SIG
International Game Developers Association
So... who are we?
The Tools SIG covers all types of tools development, from command line tools, to UI-focused tools, all the way down to middleware applications.
Why is a tools SIG is needed?
Tools development is an important area of game development, but is often hard to rigorously define. It is a cross-disciplinary field that often requires effort from nearly everyone on a game team, including programmers, artists, and designers. All too often, tools are quickly and shoddily constructed as a single game is being developed. The SIG hopes to raise awareness about what "tools" are, how they can be developed more productively, and how teams can get more out of them over time. Effective tool design can save hundreds of hours in labor, and allow companies to focus on issues of quality.
As of right now, a unified (and well publicized) arena for tools discussion does not exist. By providing a forum for discussion, we can encourage idea sharing between companies and reduce the amount of redundant work being done.
The overall mission of the SIG is to encourage effective tools design and development, leading to more reusable tools with longer shelf lives.
Some of our goals:
- Encourage innovative tool design/development
- Encourage open source projects from students, hobbyists, and professionals
- Promote good design practices, which encourage tool reusability and longer life spans
- Provide a forum for open discussion
- Promote collaboration between professionals and academics
- Reduce the amount of duplicate work being done, and focus more on moving development forward into new areas
- Identify problems/needs within the field, and address them
Sample projects/initiatives
- Providing a list of Tools Development Resources
- Address a need within the community: create a project to work on a tool that would solve a common issue
- Promote and encourage talks at the industry's various conferences and gatherings
- Eventually, possibly create an open source tools library
(Have an idea? Feel free to contact us. :)
Who might be interested in this group
Anyone who uses tools - which means artists, tech artists, programmers, designers, QA, and possibly management as well. Tools development touches almost everyone in a game company and is vital to its success.
GDC Session Notes
Each year at GDC, we encourage SIG members to contribute their notes from Tools related sessions to our wiki. For the past 3 years we've gotten some excellent response.

My Web Search IE Helper – MWSSRCAS.DLL
Mwssrcas.dll is installs with an IE helper object called "MyWeb". This is a homepage and search page hijacker targeted to sites run by www.mywebsearch.com. A older variant that also installs mybar.dll called "MyWay" is targeted as www.myway.com. These programs often download with Grokster, Morpheus, and other P2P file sharing programs. So far as spyware is concerned, these files are relatively tame. They do reset your home page and hijack web searches but do not generate popup ads or track your browsing habits. The MyWeb variant is more of a security risk because it can download code from "Fun Web Products" without your knowledge or permission.
We'd recommend removal. They can be disabled via WinPatrol or they can be uninstalled via Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs. mybar.dll show up as "My Way Speed Bar" and mwssrcas.dll will show up as "My Search Bar" or "My Web Search".

Growing up at Markus Lutheran Church and attending Central High School, Mr. Burmeister was actively involved in the Walther League as a teen, where he developed his God-given talent as a singer and met Olivia Kuehnert.
Six weeks after their wedding, the attack on Pearl Harbor thrust Mr. Burmeister into his three-year stateside tour of duty in the Navy, where he illustrated training manuals as a commercial artist.
After the war, he was employed by the John S. Swift Co. printing company in St. Louis and Chicago as a salesman. He returned to St. Louis to direct U.S. operations for the Lutheran Laymens League.
A career shift into finance led him to work for investment firm Yates, Heitner & Woods, providing church financing.
Mr. Burmeister then became president of his own company, Communication Consultants, where he provided mortgage and finance counseling to nonprofit institutions.
He later worked as director of planned giving and development for the Lutheran Association for Higher Education, followed by director of development and communications for Missouri Goodwill Industries.
He believed in giving back to the community. Before 2000, Mr. Burmeister served on 27 boards and 21 committees. A Sunset Hills resident since 1959, he served on the Board of Adjustment from 1985 to 2003, including seven years as chairman.
Survivors include his daughters and sons-in-law, Judy and Harvey Hanneman, Jan Burmeister and Jill and Dave Johnson; and son and daughter-in-law, Dean and Barb Burmeister. Mr. Burmeister was preceded in death by his wife of 71 years, Olivia, and son, Don Burmeister.
A joint memorial service for Mr. and Mrs. Burmeister will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at the Lutheran Church of Webster Gardens, 8749 Watson Road.

Beer, betrayal, a lost iPhone in Apple device tale
San Francisco: Fearing "huge" losses in sales after pictures leaked of its fourth-generation iPhone, Apple Inc convinced police to launch a felony investigation and Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs contacted the offending Web site himself to try and recover the gadget.
A California court unsealed a search warrant on Friday in the case of the lost or stolen prototype 4G iPhone whose inner workings ended up on popular gadget site Gizmodo -- weaving a bizarre tale of beer gardens, paranoid lawyers and emails to the Apple chieftain.
Apple, which has released a new iPhone in each of the past three summers, is known for its secrecy. It is widely believed to be releasing its latest model this summer.
The story of the missing iPhone that belonged to an Apple engineer has captivated Silicon Valley since news broke last month. The missing phone apparently caused concern among Apple executives, according to a meticulously detailed April 23 search warrant by Matthew Broad, a detective with the San Mateo County Sheriff's office.

How to Not Miss Someone
In a single lifetime people will come and go in your life. Some will touch your heart and others will touch your soul. All at some point will leave you. This you must come to accept. It is part of being alive. Provided here is a step by step guide on how not to miss that someone.
1Be aware of your surroundings. It is easy to miss someone that could have a meaningful impact on your life if you are not receptive to the world around you.Ad
2Why have they gone? Did they move away? Did they run away? Or did they pass on? Each of these circumstances should be treated differently.
3If they moved away, do you know they are coming back? It's much easier to not miss someone if you can look forward to their return.
4If they ran away, was it because of something you did? If so, coming to grips with your own identity will either help you improve yourself so that they or someone like them will return, or realizing you have no desire to change and maybe they just didn't mean that much to you in the first place. [Image:Not Miss Someone Step 4.jpg|center|550px]]
5The number one reason people will miss someone is because that person has died. The best way to not miss that special someone is to learn and adopt a method for seeing the world called the Tree of Life. With this philosophy firmly in your mind you will come to realize that person is still alive, and from their perspective it is in fact you that died to them. Your branches no longer cross and as you mourn them, they mourn you.Ad
Are you an expert on Pain relief?
If so, share what you know about controlling pain.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
We are a bit smarter today because of you.
- Don't be afraid to cry. Crying is good and healthy. Just do not overwhelm yourself - your health right now is just as important.
- Laughter is the best medicine. While it's healthy to mourn the loss of someone, you need to make sure you keep your spirits high and keep yourself in good company.
- Try to have a little fun to distract yourself.
- Look at pictures or write a note to them, but you don't have to send it, just keep it. Look at letters/notes they sent to you.
- Try to have fun doing something you did with them. Don't think about bad fights you had, or the bad times. Stay positive.
- When you are thinking about the person you miss, try to think about something else. Is it going to be a good day or not? Just try to get your mind off that person.
- Try to get involved in new things like sports shopping hanging out with other friends etc.
- Tell yourself a joke and remember funny things you and they did together and look forward to seeing them again.
- Try to forget the moments you spent together. Keep your mind occupied with new memories and don't look backward.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. A sign taped in the visitors' locker room at FedExForum reminded the Kings of just how badly the Memphis Grizzlies had beaten them earlier this season.
The two losses were by a combined 48 points, and the bottom of the sign had the Kings' average points in those defeats 75.
Tuesday night, the Kings managed to hang around for a good portion of the game. But the second half of the third quarter proved to be their undoing.
That's when a one-point deficit grew to 11, and the Kings eventually lost 108-101, ending their two-game winning streak and extending their road losing streak to five games.
"A piece of a quarter," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "Maybe three minutes, four minutes here, a couple of mistakes, breakdowns, and that cost us the game right there."
The Kings trailed 68-67 with 5:48 left in the third and finished the quarter behind 84-73.
Center DeMarcus Cousins said the Grizzlies took control by getting physical with the Kings.
"Everybody couldn't match it, and the results were that they outplayed us," Cousins said.
Nevertheless, the Kings had a chance late in the fourth quarter.
Tyreke Evans' layup closed the deficit to 99-93 with 4:19 to play, but the Kings came no closer.
Evans could have cut the lead to six again with two free throws with 3:53 to play, but he missed both, and Memphis quickly scored to push the lead back to 10.
Evans went 0 for 4 from the foul line and said he couldn't remember the last time he missed all his free throws in a game.
"My brother just got on me about that, missing four free throws," Evans said. "But it happened. I've just got to move on to the next game in Dallas (tonight)."
Smart noted Evans has missed some free throws late in other games this season. Evans said it's a matter of "thinking too much" at the free-throw line.
"When you get to the line, you've got to make those freebies," Smart said. "At least give us 50 percent when you go there. He just shot them bad (Tuesday), and when you get a chance on the road to close the game and get the game in your favor, you've got to take those freebies."
Smart opted to finish the game without point guard Isaiah Thomas, who had played well of late. The coach went with Aaron Brooks, who hadn't played more than seven minutes since Jan. 26. Over that span, Brooks didn't play in three consecutive games as Smart used Jimmer Fredette as Thomas' backup.
"I just thought the quickness factor could be in play for us," Smart said of Brooks. "From the point of the attack, I needed someone to get into the paint and make plays, and I thought Aaron did that. And I thought a little bit of his game is coming back to him."
Brooks, a former starter, had 10 points, four assists and one turnover. He said he didn't have much to say about not playing much lately.
Asked if he'd spoken to Smart about his playing time, Brooks said, "No, we didn't talk about it."
Cousins led the Kings (19-34) with 23 points and seven rebounds. Evans had 20 points and seven rebounds.
Marc Gasol led the Grizzlies (33-18) with 24 points and 12 rebounds.

Why stay in Manhattan when you can stay here?Posted Jul 3, 2014
Pros: The friendly and helpful staff. The very comfortable bed. The stylish and spacious rooms. The L'Occitane products in the bathroom.
Cons: Nothing.
Location: LOTS of good restaurants nearby. Macy's Brooklyn store is a couple of streets away if you want to grab a bargain. The subway is really close too.
Great experience in every way. Anyone concerned about not being in Mahattan can get into the heart of NYC on the subway, and the station is less than 5 minutes from the hotel.

Great comfy, vibePosted May 29, 2014 on Hotels.com
I really enjoyed my stay at the NU Hotel, while short, it was extremely comfy and stress-free. The free continental brunch in the morning was really yummy and convenient. All the staff was friendly, and even the maids were walking around the halls smiling and greeting you. Will definitely stay there again & recommend to friends.

Nice hotel, Convenient locationPosted May 11, 2014
Pros: Modern hotel with clean rooms
Cons: Mattresses were a bit soft for our comfort. Breakfast was less than desirable.
Location: In the heart of Brooklyn, near by Atlantic Avenue is a shopper's paradise.
Modern and comfortable hotel with spacious rooms and good facilities. Inclusive breakfast was an attractive offer but the food was less than satisfactory. Boiled eggs were served ice cold, literally! Tiny side plates to eat breakfast from! Apart from this little glitch, we were very happy.

Perfect location in BrooklynPosted Apr 30, 2014 on Hotels.com
Simple fact is if I need to stay again in Brooklyn, this is the first place I'll look to book. Neighborhood is safe, clean and well situated along multiple subway lines. Restaurant/Grocery/Take-Out options on Atlantic, Smith and Court are numerous and shopping is very close as well along Fulton Mall. Possibly more expensive than some other options but that is WELL worth it given location/decor/vibe. Plus the bar is rad.

FRIDAY, Aug. 17 (HealthDay News) -- Treatment for cervical disease does not necessarily increase a woman's risk for preterm delivery, according to a new study.
The British researchers noted their findings are significant because about 40,000 women in England undergo cervical disease treatments every year. The findings also contradict previous studies that suggested women's risk of giving birth prematurely would increase by about 5.6 percent.
"Considering all those treated previously who may be planning to have children, there may be half a million women in the U.K. who can relax now and not worry that they are at increased risk of a preterm birth," study leader Peter Sasieni, professor of cancer epidemiology and biostatistics at the Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, part of Queen Mary, University of London, said in a university news release.
Routine cervical screenings to detect cancer may be followed up with a colposcopy. During this procedure, a colposcope is used to provide a larger view of the cervix. These women also may have a biopsy in which a small sample of tissue is taken from their cervix. Women who have moderate to severe cervical changes may also have the abnormal tissue removed in a large loop excision using a small tool and electric current, known as an LLETZ.
Previous research cautioned that these treatments could increase women's risk for giving birth to premature babies. To put this to the test, the researchers cross-referenced hospital obstetric records with the medical records of more than 44,000 women in England who had cervical tissue samples taken. They were able to identify more than 18,000 babies born to these women.
The researchers then examined the number of preterm births before and after colposcopy. They also compared women who had an LLETZ with those who only had a cervical biopsy. The investigators also compared preterm delivery rates among the study participants with overall preterm delivery rates in England.
The research revealed that 8.8 percent of the births among the women in the study were preterm, compared to 6.7 percent among the general population in England.
The women treated for cervical changes before pregnancy had about 1.4 more preterm births per 100 than those who had only a biopsy. The researchers noted, however, that the women who gave birth before undergoing a colposcopy also were more likely to give birth prematurely than those who had only a biopsy.
"Clearly treatment that has not occurred until after a birth cannot be causing preterm births," Sasieni pointed out in the news release.
The researchers concluded that treatment for cervical abnormalities did not increase women's risk for preterm delivery.
"Women should have more confidence in going for cervical screening and accepting the treatment offered to them," Sasieni said. LLETZ "should still be seen as the treatment of choice. It would be premature to start using other treatments such as cryotherapy that may be less effective in treating cervical disease, in the hope that it would result in fewer preterm births."
The study authors noted that quality-assurance issues in other countries may play a role in previous findings, which suggested there is a high risk of preterm birth associated with LLETZ. They added that more research is needed to investigate why the other studies found an increased risk and whether extensive cervical treatment or repeat treatments increase the risk of premature delivery.
Commenting on the findings, Julietta Patnick, director of the United Kingdom's National Health Service Cancer Screening Programs, said, "[The findings] are an encouraging reflection of the high standards of our N.H.S. practitioners and our robust system of quality assurance."
Patnick added, however, that, "previous studies have shown that treatments, including colposcopy and LLETZ, are linked to an increased risk of preterm deliveries, and it is important that we continue this project to provide firm evidence in this important area. Regular attendance at screening remains the top preventive measure against cervical cancer, and we would encourage all women to make the decision to attend when invited."
The study was published online Aug. 17 in BMJ.

2012 in Review: Tech Turkeys of the Year
Summary: And now, for your reading pleasure, the very worst from the tech world in 2012.
15 of 16Image
Under development for several years as the replacement for GNOME 2.x on Linux-based desktop OSes, GNOME 3.X has slowly exited "experimental" mode and has finally become the default UI on Redhat's Fedora distribution, which replaced the very much long in the tooth GNOME 2.4 with GNOME 3.2 in Fedora 16.
Fedora 17, which was released in May of 2012, includes a further refined version, version 3.4.
While GNOME 3.x includes a number of software enhancements over its predecessor, Linus Torvalds, the inventor and maintainer of the Linux kernel has hailed the 3.4 software release as a "total UX failure" and "one step forward, one step back"
Look, if the chief penguin himself slaps you down, you know it's time to go back to the drawing board, GNOME-ies.
Facebook for Android
Facebook. You know you gotta have it on your smartphone and tablets.
Well, maybe not. Facebook for Android is probably one of the most consistently unstable and poorest performing apps on the Google mobile platorm.
How bad is it? It's so bad that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg has confiscated iPhones from all of his key developers and has forced them to use Android devices so that they can do a complete re-write based on native code like the iOS version currently enjoys, rather than the HTML5 it is written in now.
Unlike its iOS counterpart, Facebook for Android lacks tablet optimization so it looks like a blown-up smartphone app, even on the highest resolution tablet screens.
And did I mention it was slow and buggy? Oh my God, so slow.
Twitter has been on a tear lately by re-vamping all of its native apps on the various mobile platforms.
The company has also read the riot act to 3rd-party application developers, which have now been told their userbases can never exceed a certain amount of API calls and 100,000 users total, effectively making the migration path toward's Twitter's own clients inevitable.
This would not be so bad, if it weren't for the fact that Twitter's own clients, well.. suck compared to the stuff that has been created by 3rd-parties.
Not only do Twitter's mobile clients lack significant features the other clients for mobile platforms have, and lack the polish and refinement that exists in 3rd-party software, but in the case of the iPad version, it's actually a horrendous waste of space if you use the software in landscape mode.
Dear Twitter: Your clients for mobile platforms are a whale of a fail.

Product details
Fire Meteor Poi are a tricky but hugely rewarding and versatile prop. Spinners of staff and poi, and also club swingers can transfer some of their skills to the meteor making it a good way to diversify and broaden your performances or spinning time.
Firetoys Fire Meteor Poi are made from a long length of strong and heat resistant stainless steel ball chain with large performer poi heads securely attached to each end.
The trick is to balance the momentum of the meteor so it will spin like a staff but you can also take two handholds some way from the centre of the chain and use the meteor like poi. And if you've got the skills you can even apply contact techniques to the meteor.
Firetoys Fire Meteor Poi are available in three sizes ranging from 1.4 to 1.8 metres to suit all sizes and styles of spinner.
All our own props are manufactured in our sustainably powered, 1700 square foot workshop.
