My cookbook challenge! (long...)
- m
- Mr Bigglesworth May 22, 2012 10:22 AM
Like many people on this board, I've developed a bit of a cookbook buying addition. Despite my habit, I was always an improvisational cook, preferring to grab a bit of this and that.
One day I found myself reaching for the same set of spices, trying to coax a new creative way to experiment with mace. I felt uninspired, grabbed a cookbook, and decided that I wanted to refine my technique by cooking at least one dish from every book I owned.
I imposed a soft deadline and set out on a many month challenge that concluded with a spectacular lobster bouillabaisse from the Morimoto Cookbook. Along the way, I tortured my wife, as it was all I talked about - strategy, what I was making that weekend, and how she was going to have to suck it up when I finally cooked from the two Rachel Ray cookbooks that were given to me as a gift.
The vast majority of the dishes were solid, a bunch exceptional and a few almost warranted a call to the local pizza place. The real fun was in discovering unexpected gems, such as the Morton's Cookbook black bean soup (an incredible version of my favorite soup,) which I picked up at a restaurant opening function, as well as scratching a bunch of dishes of my bucket list, like the above-mentioned bouillabaisse.
I am not expecting anyone to read the entire list, but I listed all the recipe titles and thoughts on the individual books (but not actual recipes given Chow rules.) I'm happy to share privately if anyone wants info a specific dish!
Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking - Lobster Bouillabaisse (my favorite dish of the bunch, which led me to a new obsession for Gochujang, a fiery Korean chili paste.)
Barbara Lynch: Stir - Ham and cheese puff pastry bites with honey mustard; Slow roasted clams with spicy tomato sauce; Butcher Shop Bolognese; Linguini with spicy clam sauce; Torn pasta fagioli with shrimp polpettini; Rigatoni with spicy shrimp and cannellini beans; Spicy clam stew; Pan fried cod with chorizo and clam ragout; Saffron steamed mussels with crème freche; Pork chops with caramelized apples, celery and spiced walnuts (My favorite cookbook, with the shrimp polpettini, rigatoni and pork chops standing out.)
Jody Adams: In The Hands Of A Chef – Monkish and Clam Bourride (soulful dish and my first homemade tapenade, inspired by my pain-in-the-*** brother-in-law, who upon a suggestion of a meal of rack of lamb, stated by lamb, if I meant local fish and clams, brilliant!)
Patricia Green: Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood – Quinoa Bean salad (I'm all about healthy grains for lunch and love this filling and flavorful protein-packed salad.)
Jacques Pepin: Essential Pepin - Zucchini and tomato gratin (glorious side dish from Jacques.)
Grace Young: Stir Frying To The Sky's Edge – Hong Kong style mango ginger chicken, Cashew chicken (both flavorful dishes.)
Tyler Florence: Tyler's Ultimate – Hunter Minestrone, Peach barbecue chicken (the soup is a classic in my house, and the peach BBQ sauce is a go to as well.)
Mario Batali: Molto Mario – Mussels in a spicy saffron broth
Donald Link: Real Cajun: Rustic Home Cooking from Donald Link's Louisiana – Old school chicken and sausage jambalaya; spicy sausage stuffed chicken thighs, Post-K Meatloaf, Lake Charles Dirty Rice (amazing book, with the jambalaya and meatloaf among my new favorite dishes. I need to visit Link's restaurants.)
Thomas Keller: Ad Hoc At Home - Crispy braised chicken thighs with olive, lemon and fennel; Pomegranate glazed quail; Meatballs with pappardelle; Herb crusted rack of lamb with honey mustard glaze; Lentil and sweet potato soup (Love everything save the quail. Chicken thighs are so moist and tender, and the rack of lamb is decadent.)
Marissa Guggiana: Primal Cuts: Cooking with America's Best Butchers -Armenian lamb shish kabob; Braised chicken thighs in rosemary jus (nifty book with a number of interesting dishes from top butchers and chefs. Loved both dishes.)
Clara Silverstein: The Boston Chefs Table (compendium of recipes from Boston chefs) - Coffee marinated rack of lamb with corn salad and espresso vinaigrette (the lamb was ok but the corn salad was a real knockout.)
Ming Tsai: Simply Ming - Scallion crusted cod with mango salsa (now in regular rotation and finally got my wife to embrace cod. The salsa packs a nice punch!)
Jay Harlow: Williams Sonoma Seafood - Salmon in parchment - (Not sure if I'd make this again, but cooking fish en papillote was a new technique for me.)
Stéphane Reynaud: Pork and sons -Grandma Babke's roast pork (didn't love the pork, but looking forward to diving into this book come winter.)
Klaus Fritsch: Morton's The Cookbook - Black bean soup (I'm obsessed with soup, and black bean is one of my favorites. I love the depth and smoky flavors in this version.)
David Chang: Momofuku - Ginger scallion noodles (These noodles are mildly addictive. The first few bites, you wonder what the hype is all about and then you look down and realize that nearly all the noodles are gone.)
Bobby Cooks American - New Mexico style soft tacos with hacked chicken and salsa verde (great easy weeknight dish. Love the heat from the fresh chilis.)
Nigella Lawson: Feast - Pasta primavera (why did I buy this book?)
Anna Sortun: Spice - Beet tzatziki (OK, I cheated by not cooking a main dish, but the tzatziki was remarkable, just like her two restaurants.)
Claudia Roden: Arabesque - Bulgar and chickpea salad (I need to explore this book in greater detail. I eat this for lunch several times a month.)
Jacques Pepin: Complete Techniques - poached egg (Yes, I made a poached egg, but I never had done so before, and it's my challenge.) Are you really still reading?!?
Fergus Henderson: The Whole Beast - Mussels grilled on barbecue. (Nice dish, not loving the cookbook.)
Ferran Adria: The Family Meal: Home cooking with Ferran Adria - Caramelized pears – (thought the book was a bit too simple for my tastes - my one dessert of the bunch.)
Tess Mallos: North African Cooking - Grille Moroccan spiced chicken (remarkable whole chicken with so much flavor! My 2 year old gobbles this up and calls it Daddy Chicken.)
The Essential Cookbook - Cuban black beans and rice (my wife had this book. We are now giving it away.) Next.
Rachel Ray: 2,4,6,8 - Veggie chickpea and couscous salad with yogurt dressing (next.)
Rachel Ray: 30 Minute Meals - ginger soy chicken (yummo, uh, no. Next.)
Cook's Illustrated: The Best New Recipes - Hoisin Ginger shrimp with sticky rice (surprisingly good and simple weeknight meal - includes several possible iterations of each dish.)
Ming Tsai: Blue Ginger - Teriyaki salmon with mirin cucumber salad (Liked the salad, but a bit of a dated dish.)
Teresa Barrenechea: The Basque table - Pureed mixed vegetable soup (simple and light, but surprisingly addictive, just doesn't freeze well.)
Cook's Illustrated: The Best Light Recipes - Soy glazed salmon and rice bake with mushrooms and bok choy (nice, clean weeknight dish.)
Charleston Cooks: Taste Of the Low Country - Shrimp and cheddar grits with homemade shrimp stock (intensely flavorful version from this beautiful kitchen shop owned by the Maverick Restaurant Group in Charleston.)
Biba Caggiano: Biba's Italy - Pan fried sausage and broccoli rabe with orecchiette (free book, largely uninspiring. Solid dish but not likely to repeat.)
Sondra Bernstein: The Girl and The Fig Cookbook - Asparagus and English pea soup with pistachio butter, Carrot Ginger Soup (the asparagus is light and perfect for spring....)
Donald Barickman: Magnolias: Authentic Southern Cuisine - Mac and cheese. (My arteries hated me and I might have grabbed fat kid sweatpants after eating this, but wow this was good.)
Rick Bayless: Mexican Everyday: Chipotle shrimp and meatballs; Mushroom Crema soup, tomatillo enchiladas, classic enchiladas, red chili chicken, luxurious guacamole and multiple salsas. (I have a man crush on Bayless. Everything was great save the soup. The tomatillo enchiladas made me buy another Bayless cookbook and the guacamole is insanely good.)
Rick Bayless: One Plate At A Time – Grilled Salmon Vera Cruz with Lemon and Thyme scented salsa (exceptional dish with a flavor profile that was unlike any other Mexican dish I've had to date. The flavors were distinctly Mediterranean but fiery from the pickled jalapenos. Man crush confirmed.)
Keith McNally: The Balthazar Cookbook -Potage St. Germaine; mushroom soup; striped bass with tomato and saffron; glazed pork belly; mustard crusted salmon with lentils and sweet garlic jus. (Wonderful cookbook from the once beloved and now touristy restaurant. Everything is worth cooking again, especially the lentils.)
Adam Perry Lang: Serious BBQ - Asian Pork Meatball Skewers (labor intensive dish with sauce and glaze, but seriously flavorful. I can't wait to make his paella on the grill!)
Stephanie Izard - Girl & The Goat Cookbook: Truffled white asparagus soup; manila clam and sausage linguini with horseradish crème freche; apple pork ragu with pappardelle (all wonderful, with the ragu exemplifying Izard's ability to meld numerous delicate flavors.)
Giada: Giada's Family Dinners - Italian wedding soup; broccoli florets with Meyer lemon olive; penne with sausage, artichokes and sun dried tomatoes. (Simple but solid weeknight food.)
Giada: Everyday Italian - Farfalle with turkey sausage, peas and mushrooms (see above.)
Tom Colicchio: Think Like a Chef - Clam ragout with pancetta; roasted tomatoes and mustard greens; polenta gratin with mushroom bolognese (the clam dish was way too salty but loved the polenta gratin.)
Daniel Holzman: The Meatball Shop Cookbook – Lamb Meatballs, Mediterranean Style (One of my friends ate 10+ of these in one sitting. OK, that was me. Can't wait to dig deeper into this book.)
Marcella Kazan: Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking - The Bolognese (best version I've made, courtesy the Julia Child of Italian cooking.)
Jean-Georges: Asian Flavors of Jean-Georges: Roast chicken with chunky miso and grapefruit (remarkable dish with incredible complexity from such diverse ingredients.)
Bobby Flay - Mesa Grill Cookbook : red chili honey glazed salmon with black bean sauce and jalapeño crema (exceptional dish, with the black beans being the real star.)
Bobby Flay: Boy Meets Grill - Red chili citrus marinated chicken breasts with grilled tortillas and avocado tomatillo sauce; Jerked chicken with mango cilantro relish (both a bit flat)
Various: The 150 Best American recipes - Roasted mushroom-leek soup with crispy pancetta (hated it.)
Jonathan Waxman: A Great American Cook: warm sweet onion tart, asparagus with oranges and hazelnuts, corn soup with saffron (tart was very rich and wonderful.)
Penelope Casas - Tapas : Gambas al ajillo, Tortilla de Espanola (great versions of Spanish classics.)
Dean & Deluca - Classic minestrone (phenomenal, chunky version of my favorite soup.)
New Basics Cookbook - Nutty quinoa salad (meh)
Ellie Krieger : The Food You Crave - Lemon chicken soup with orzo; Penne with roasted tomatoes, garlic and white beans; Balsamic chicken with baby spinach and couscous; Sesame teriyaki chicken thighs; Maple mustard chicken thighs; Jerk chicken with cool pineapple salsa; Roasted salmon with shallot grapefruit sauce; Baked shrimp with tomatoes and feta; Scallops with succotash (Wonderful healthy weeknight cookbook. Simple but flavorful dishes, most repeated multiple times.)
Ellie Krieger: So Easy - Chicken mushroom quesadillas; garlic basil shrimp; salmon with chickpea Ragu; roasted tomato and black bean soup with avocado mango salad (simple but clean dishes, all repeated save the salmon.)
Ina Garten: Barefoot Contessa Cookbook - Gazpacho; lentil vegetable soup, Rosemary white bean soup (My go to gazpacho and lentil recipes.)
Ina Garten: Barefoot Contessa Parties - butternut squash and apple soup (love her version.)
This has been a wonderful experience in that I tried and learned how to cook so many new dishes. I'm already pondering new ways to push myself in the kitchen! Thanks for reading.
What a great posr, and an object lesson for those of us who tend to collect cookbooks we rarely cook from. Sadly, your post made me want to buy a couple of cookbooks I don't have! Stir, by Barbara Lynch, in particular, caught my eye...
Mr. Bigglesworth, what an inspiring report. Thanks very much...!
Yes, I read the whole thing, and from your list of books I singled out several I'm interested in that I don't have in my cookbook library :
Tess Mallos: North African Cooking
Ellie Krieger: The Food You Crave
Barbara Lynch: Stir
Morimoto: The New Art of Japanese Cooking
Now I'm on a mission to investigate them further, especially the Krieger.
Should this be "cookbook buying addiction" instead of "cookbook buying addition?"
I'll go along with this statement in your opening paragraph of your lengthy thesis, "I was always an improvisational cook, preferring to grab a bit of this and that." But I still belong to the "What if...?" school of cooking specializing in "Cuisine Impromptu."
Yesterday's lunch was soup made with surimi (that fake crab leg stuff made with pollock) and tofu plus onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, puree of ghost peppers and sweet red bell peppers, 5 spice seasoning, turmeric, ramen noodles and water. It worked well. I just grabbed what was available. The noodle flavor pack was discarded due the high salt content.
I fell asleep while reading your opus.
re: ChiliDude
Of course my wife immediately noticed the typo in the first sentence.
re: Mr Bigglesworth
BTW, I have more than 200 cookbooks and pamphlets that I've collected in over 50 years. The only recipe that I followed to the letter was for chopped chicken livers in Joan Nathan's 'Jewish Cooking in America.' I have several chili cookbooks just because I like to read them. My favorite cookbook is the apron which I wear when experimenting in the kitchen. It reads "I don't need a recipe...I'M ITALIAN."
Fantastic report! I've been waffling on Ellie Krieger's "The Food You Crave" for quite some time. I think you may have convinced me to buy it. Repeating a recipe is the ultimate compliment.
Wow, what a fantastic project, kudos to you for sticking with it and huge thanks for writing it up, I thoroughly enjoyed your exhaustive report. Daddy Chicken is so cute and sounds delicious too. I would be interested in specifics of two recipes that I could not find by googling: the Morton's black bean soup and the CI Light shrimp, rice and bok choy bake, if you ever have the time and inclination to paraphrase. I can probably find the latter at the library I suppose. And like roxlet, I wrote down a few cookbooks I might just have to buy.... :) Thanks so much again for this wonderful post!
re: GretchenS
Happy to get them to you (especially for a fellow Bostonian!) Can you message people privately on CH?
re: Mr Bigglesworth
I think you're going to have to post the recipe here - too many of us want it. It's permissible to list the ingredients, then paraphrase the instructions. You are not allowed to copy a recipe verbatim from a cookbook.
re: pikawicca
Sounds like I have a project after my put my son to bed tonight. Happy to summarize for everyone!
re: GretchenS
I was also interested in the soup and found this by googling around. No idea if it is same as the book but linked here anyway:
re: tcamp
OK. Fairly simple and I want to temper people's expectations that half of what I loved was how good this was coming out of a steak book... but...
1 lb dried black beans
2 slices bacon (I prefer whole foods) diced
3/4 cup diced onion
3/4 cup carrot diced
1 small rib celery diced
1 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (I upped as I love garlic)
8 cups stock (I use homemade but I'm sure box / canned is fine)
2 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin (I freshly ground)
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
4 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions for garnish
optional dollop of sour cream (i always use low fat)
I added a pinch of ancho powder as I like smokiness
I've also experimented by adding a few drops of canning liquid from chipotle in adobo)
rinse beans and soak (8 hours min)
render bacon down
cook veggies / garlic until tender
add beans, broth, chili, cumin and optional ancho / adobo liquid
boil simmer apx 90 min
Puree until smooth. I personally like texture and only pulsed a few times to create a mild chunkiness.
This is also really nice cold, with crumbled tortillas on top.
re: Mr Bigglesworth
Thanks, totally different from the one I linked! I wasn't feeling hambone love on an 80+ degree day.
I'm going to try this today, modified somewhat to accommodate my already-cooked beans.
re: Mr Bigglesworth
Thanks for posting, will give it a try. There is no such thing as bad black bean soup in my book so it's pretty risk-free but I will note your caveat. :)
Thanks so much for the report. It must have been fun! The braised chicken from Colicchio's book is in astonishingly regular rotation.
A fellow cookbook addict! My collection now numbers more than 140 and I'm actually trying to get to 5 recipes from each... I have nearly 40 I've never used so I understand your strategizing! And as others have written, your list makes me want to add a few others to my collection... perhaps a reward if I hit my goal...
Thanks for sharing,
As a fellow cookbook addict, I appreciate your inspirational post. I love many of the cookbooks and recipes you cite here. You've hardened my resolve to really get into Barbara Lynch's "Stir" and Thomas Keller's "Ad Hoc," two beauties I've only barely explored. And, unfortunately, you've inspired me to add a few others to my collection.
I wish I had the discipline to take on such a worthy project.
Thanks for sharing your results.
re: tcamp
I've had many other wonderful black bean soups, but this one was so unexpectedly good. One of the things I tried to do was dive into the various books a bit, dig for dishes that weren't as obvious (i.e. a steak from the Morton's Cookbook.) I just think this version had a particular depth of flavor that I haven't always found in other versions. Good stuff.
re: Mr Bigglesworth
Please paraphrase the recipe for us!
I love this idea. I have about 15 cookbooks in my collection (I thought that was a lot) and use only 2 or 3 regularly. I think I'll take your challenge and try to make a few things from each book.
Great inspiring post. Time to stop surfing (Internet) and start cooking! Thank you for sharing.
This is fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing!
Is this close to the Dean and Deluca minestrone recipe you referenced? http://www.deandeluca.com/recipes/rec...
re: ChristinaMason
Without having the book in front of me, looks like the one. I loved this dish and really need to dig into this book more.
re: Mr Bigglesworth
Great report. I'm going to have to try that minestrone. I've had the Dean & Deluca practically since it was first published but have tried very little from it. That said, I practically never make pork chops, whatever recipe, without using the brine on page 430. And the technique for cooking soft-shelled crabs (page 349) was a revelation. The Lime-Garlic Mojo was damned good, too.
re: nomadchowwoman
He seasons with s&p, soaks them in buttermilk for an hour, pats them dry, dredges them in flour, and sautées them in butter. So far, par for the course. But once they're in the butter he weights them with a brick or other heavy weight (I use two foil-covered bricks). He says the brick squeezes out all the excess water so the crab becomes really crisp. And it does. Aiming for the crispy factor, I've tried deep frying them in a tempura batter; but I like this method better. Once tried, I never looked back.
Daniel Holzman: The Meatball Shop Cookbook – Lamb Meatballs, Mediterranean Style (One of my friends ate 10+ of these in one sitting. OK, that was me. Can't wait to dig deeper into this book.)
Okay I loved that comment, and it's a terrific primer that I'm also working thru.
Great list, fun read, Mr. Biggles.
re: avallance
I'm contemplating 5 from each cookbook or picking 1 book and working my through it. Thinking Stir could be a fun one, although I'm flat out obsessed with The Meatball Shop book. Would love to hear if you have any favorites as well!

Lamar Sally tells TMZ he did NOT want Sherri Shepherd to sign an amendment to their prenup ... despite the fact that TMZ has a copy of the amendment in question.
Lamar insists, "I did not want her to sign an amendment to our prenup." TMZ broke the story, at some point during the marriage, he presented Sherri with a document that required her, among other things, to say she would commit to staying thin. We're told she refused to sign it.
And we're told Sherri's current lawyer is in possession of the amendment in question.
Lamar goes on, "We had a lot of love in our marriage. I still love her. To no one's fault, at some point, we started to view marriage differently. I refuse to let her friend's, advisors, hanger-on's and the media sullen those memories."
First of all Sherri has never been thin. You should think about getting a job and now TMZ readers get to judge your relationship.
How can you "stay thin" when you were never thin in the first place? That alone leads me to believe this is a smear campaign against Sally.
Just give me money
"sullen" the relationship? wasn't this guy pretending to be a writer for awhile?
So let me get this straight, she hands a paper to her lawyer and claims it was from her ex, so it must be fact? No, unless it was written in his writing, or it was signed by him and notarized it is simply a piece of paper she claims was given by him. Oddly enough the items on the list are things she believes in because of her religious views. Please use common sense tmz writers! Why would he ask an overweight woman to sign an agreement to not become overweight? She already was overweight, so explain how that fact didn't tingle your spidey senses? Go find an online Critical Thinking course, or take one at a local community college!
Guys, don't threw your marriage away over small items that can be resolved during a private retreat focused on love and forgiveness! Your marriage is worth fighting for!
Sherri should slap Niecy Nash for playing match maker and hooking her up with Lamar Sally. Making him look better then he really was and Sherri fell for it.
Don't you mean "sully" the memories?
Hey pig don't forget while you're complaining about Sherri to lick your plate.
Lamar is fugly. He knew she was a thick women when he was with her. Why is it that ugly people think they deserve above and beyond.
Sally just go away and hide under a rock. Sherri supported Your lazy butt for 3 years and now you want custody of your unborn son to suck her for 18 more years. I can't stand a lazy man who lives of a female. Babara and Whoopie told Sherrie before she get married make sure this man has enough money to take care of you and Jefferies. I guess their advice fell on deaf ear.
First, get a job. Second, learn to spell. Third, get a life. Fourth, stop being a leech. Fifth, if all you had to contribute to the baby in utero was a squirt in a cup, you deserve ZERO in payment, now and forever. Amen.
Sherri you pay me $100,000 I will get him for you I will start off by a sucker punch first, then I will squeeze his nut bag 5 times, then I will pull all the hair out of his ass, pull a Mike Tyson and bite his left ear lobe off, snatch his Adams apples off, pitch fork both of his eyes so he can't see, open his mouth wide open and diarrhea in it.

Zombies are easy to deal with; people are another story.
"I trust those zombies about as far as I can throw 'em, but I trust people even less!"Let's face it; zombies, on an individual level, aren't really that threatening. Sure, they may be impervious to pain and capable of infecting their victims with a single bite, but they're slow, they're clumsy, and they lack the mental capacity to use any kind of tools. Chances are, as long as you have good aim, you'll be able to dispose of them with ease. But in a Zombie Apocalypse, you may find yourself face-to-face with monsters far more terrifying than the living dead. They're cunning, resilient, resourceful, and absolutely ruthless... and by now, you probably know where this is going. Indeed, in zombie fiction, the protagonists will often come to realize that zombies are the least of their problems. The real threat will come from roaming gangs of bandits, psychotic military officers determined to mow down everything in sight, or even normal, everyday people who were Driven to Madness by the horror going on around them. This trope refers to works that either imply or outright state that fellow survivors can be just as dangerous, if not more so, than the undead menace.

While most jewelry is delicately beautiful, these examples are decidedly rugged… then again, concrete isn't the first thing you think of in wearable fashion. Designer Mareike Kanafani has created a collection of rings and broaches which seem to channel the aesthetic of heavy brutalist architecture from the mid-century – only this time in beautifully creative geometric forms.

Re-membering Barbie: Fine Jewelry Made from the Icon
To some, dismembered Barbie is creepy, to others, plastic body parts are the perfect medium for jewelry. Barbie is the icon of little girls everywhere and a representation of childhood to women who enjoyed Barbie's company when they were small. One woman, Margaux Lange, uses the nostalgia of Barbie as inspiration for her jewelry line, Plastic Body Series. She repurposes salvaged body parts and combines them with silver and colored resins to make unique Barbie (and Ken) body jewelry. Though there is a slightly creepy vibe to the jewelry if you think about it too hard, it is still beautiful and creative in its own way. It takes a second look to realize that the jewelry is actually made from Barbie, and Lange finds interesting ways to use pretty much every last inch of the doll and her six-pack clad boyfriend. "The collection is a result of a life-long fascination with the icon, and a desire to re-purpose mass produced materials into handmade, wearable art jewelry," Lange said on her Etsy profile.

Prime Crime Real Estate For Sale!
If you are into real estate and looking for a real fixer upper, check out these abandoned estates once belonging to some of Mexico's most nasty criminals. The movies aren't the only way we can see how infamous crime men truly reside. Over the past 6 years Mexico has seized over 114 million items belonging to incarcerated drug lords. Wanting no paper trail to their names of course, most dealers will walk into high end shops for jewelry, furniture, art, cars, exotic animals, etc., and order one of everything. Limited time and the risk of getting caught makes most of these estates look as if they were turned into a storage unit to hold anything gold, sparkling and symbolizing power. Many of the drug lords lived in extremely terrible conditions despite the luxurious first impression: the inside of some estates have been full of broken needles, trash, prostitutes and a family trying to live the life their loved one has chosen for them.

Seriously, that's all I ever do. Or I feel like I always do. I'm making it a personal goal to stop complaining so much and to look at situations differently; say how they possibly could have gone, or at least one good aspect about them instead. That and I think it makes for better conversation instead!
Sooo…in that case, work was not so bad yesterday! I'll go through what I might have said, but what I will say:
- Got so wet on the boat, being thrashed around in white capped waters, I thought i was going to fly off.
- Got sunburned after 15 minutes and was too lazy to put my sunscreen on.
- I got bit by fire ants and it really itches.
- I didn't have enough food.
- I was super tired.
- Our schedule might/got messed up/around and my weekend plans might hit the can.
Turn around the complaining:
- It was great to finally be outside today, on the boat, on the water. Sitting behind a desk the past few work days made me realize even more my real love for the outdoors.
- I got to work on my bikini tan and am going to be rocking my color when summer comes around
- Live and let learn lady; the bugs are going to be everywhere!
- Enjoy the food that you did get today and remember to be more prepared for next time. Field work is never easy on the belly because you're constantly doing something; you just have to remember.
- Again, lesson learned. Go to bed earlier and make sure that I get the right kinds of food in to give me energy to keep going! Pick out the power foods that you love the most and have them!
- This just means that my exciting weekend plans can be saved for another date/day and that instead I can plan something else that might be just as fun, or even more fun! Who knows!
What do you think? Any other suggestions? How would you try to counteract the act of complaining in your day?
Ok, onto food!
Stomach was feeling better (thanks for all the well wishes!) and wanted to make sure it stayed that way, so I had something pretty plain, but delish! Everyone talks so much about these cereal messes, which I have really yet to try, so I took a sort of attempt at it? I know it's only one kind of cereal, but I never eat it w/ just some pb mixed in there. Does that count as part of a cereal mess? I had some chobani plain, strawberries, cheerios and natural honey pb. I couldn't get the pb to mix in well because it was in the fridge and hard…next time I'll leave it out for a bit!
We worked on a trap all morning then plowed down on lunch before heading out to the lakes: pb and cinnamon on Arnold's thin w/ an apple.
I was pretty hungry by mid afternoon so I snacked on a banana and around 2 servings of my Nature's Path Cinnamon Sticks. These things are seriously so good! I need to stock up on more!
Here is what we were up to today…well, Kyle was. I was picture taking…and video taping. Or trying. :_D
And our new fashion statement:
Yes, that is duct tape. Duct tape could seriously solve all our problems.
We were out super late (like, got home around 9?) but I was hungry driving back after our errands, so I had an emergency stash clif bar. The FAV. But it didn't satisfy me obvi since it was sufficing for DINNER. So by the time I got home, I snacked on some h2h and mini pb cups.
Then BAM! BED! Which is why I'm posting this morning!
Off to trap! Happy Wednesday (HUMP) Day!!!!

After being told that I am borderline PCOS and would need fertility drugs to conceive, I decided to give this product a try. I'm very glad I did. Within the first three weeks of taking it, I actually ovulated! After a few more cycles, I became pregnant with my son!
Good ingredients!

I have PCOS and since I got married married I am very eager on getting pregnant. I've been taking these pills for two months now along with maca and cod liver oil. I also try to follow a relatively clean diet with whole foods, and eliminate sugar and wheat. So fingers crossed!! One thing I would like to draw the attention to is the fact that it contains green tea. I already drink a few cups of green tea every day, and after taking the supplement I got nose bleeds! Green tea has the effect of thinning the blood, hence the nose bleeds. So I had to cut back my green tea consumption. Other that that the ingredients are fine! Let's hope that they will do the trick!! Click on my username for more reviews! If you thought that this review was helpful please feel free to press the 'yes' button.
It really works!

We tried to get pregnant for two years. We even tried fertility treatments and were unsucessful. Before I even finished the first bottle, we were pregnant. We used the male and female blend. It really works.
Works for us!

We are now have a very healthy 5 months old baby! We got pregnant on our second month of taking this supplement. I think the product works really well if your major problems are irregular cycle and ovulation. Good luck!

text: Well then instead of changing THR tourneys into a "one or the other" type, it sounds like ADDING a tournament for target archers would be more suitable. And for those who like to shoot both styles would have more opportunities to play.

I've been searching on here for quite a bit and decided to ask for help on who are the best Butt Implant Doctors. I dont care where they are located and how much more they cost, I want a doctor that has a great review of implants. I'm small framed fitness type of body so there is not enought fat available to add to my butt and i have a high percentage it could just absorb back in to my body ( I did this with my lips and it lasted like 3 months so I would not do it again for myself).
I heard that Dr Raul Gonzalez is supposed to be one of the best in the world but where are the photos? I have emailed him recently but have read it can take along time for response. Dr Mendieta in Miami but have read alot of mixed reviews. I understand there will be neg responses but when its about 40% it makes me very nervous. The doctors I have used in the pass have had a great record of results so not every dr does have neg.
I'm 5'5, 105-110 pounds Im trying to do heavy weights to add the muscle to my butt, I like the shape of my butt I just need to make it a little more firmer with more plump of course. If anyone can respond who has added smaller implants or knows of a doctor with great reviews that would be awesome. Thanks so much :) Here is my wish list look.... lol

Hi Christina,
I have my private massage therapy office. I use some common aromatherapy oils like lavender, tangerine and mint for massages. Would you be able to recommend some kind of aromatherapy kit that I could have for sale to clients? I would like to market the oils for my clients and do not really know how to start.
I would like to receive your weekly emails.
I would like to receive your weekly aromatherapy tips, but when I try to fill your form it seems to 'fail'. Would you add me onto your list? Many thanks, and I look forward to it.
Hi Cristina,
I would love to try some essential oils for my son and myself. Is there an address to send a check or money order?

A good sports/touring compound is all you need. Anything sportier is a complete waste.
I'm not sure what like the previous tyres were like as there like racing slicks and I've just bought the bike.
As eatcs01 says,some have dual or triple compound.

This was so much fun to do. Maybe more like this in the future. I've lost a lot of weight. I've been eating right and exercising quite a bit. I'm no longer scared to show off my body. I feel amazing.
{I love your smile}
As we were cleaning out our apartment, we took a toke break. I was snapping pictures, as I usually do.
Isn't Kevin's smile infectious? I guess that is the face he makes that made me fall in love with him to begin with.

Sorry for taking so long on this. I have been busy! My son started kindergarten today. We are all kind of upset, our friend lost his son in a car accident. So shall we get to the happy?
This is the main stage, well the side of it anyway. I didn't want to try and get to the front. The headliner was playing. Kotton Mouth Kings? Never heard of them, and I didn't care for their music. I'm a snob like that.
Kevin and I chilling with some other stoners in the shade. We were just having a really relaxed time.
This lady was so cute and nice! I ended up going into their dispensary later, where I met more nice people who pretty much bent over backwards to help me become medicated :D

Well, the drama from this day has subsided, and new drama has taken it's place. This may be the last post you will see from me for a while. I might be moving on to a new location. At this point, I am not really sure what is going on lol.
So pictures yes?
It is really hard for me to be in pictures, because I am the only one who ever takes pictures. I had to demand a friend snap some photos. Am I the only one who hates doing this? Most people, I find, can barely take snap shots. Even after I give somebody a basic crash course on photography, I get one or two shots like this. Anyway, I am done complaining about that right now.
His Cars cake. My mother and I had gotten into a fight. I was very specific that I was not interested in dropping 30 dollars for a cake, when I could make a better, nicer cake for practically nothing (I have all the stuff to make a cake lol). She basically made me out to be a bad cheap mom because of that and went out and bought the cake herself. The rest of the afternoon was spent complaining about how much it all cost.
Francis being a doll with my brother's friend
Brooklyn blowing bubbles
All of Courtney's daughters and my one son lol. Brooklyn, Francis, Amanda and Little Ashley… all piled into Francis' truck. It couldn't haul all 4 of them, they were just posing for a picture for me.
I will leave you with this:
Photo with 5 notes
Well this picture is a couple of months old.
I was just going through some of my pictures, trying to organize them (why does organizing things have to be so hard for me….), and I was like, "Wow, doesn't Francis look cute?" So I am letting this picture see the light of day. So to speak lol.
I think he and I were goofing off that day. I'm not sure who's idea it was, but some carefully placed eyeliner later…
I love having fun with my kid and doing silly goofy stuff. It also helps that I have my camera on me most of the time.
Life is good!

Literary Consolation Prizes (for the NY Times Book Review)
(via prettybooks)
I watched Lincoln yesterday, directed by Steven Spielberg and based in part on the book A Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, written by Doris Kearns Goodwin. I have to admit it. I drank the Kool-Aid. I walked out of that film floored by an uncanny performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, completely bowled over by the 'political genius' of Abraham Lincoln. Even more so, I was astounded by the towering, mythological status of Lincoln in American culture.
The film revolves around his struggle to pass the 13th amendment abolishing slavery in the United States, during the last days of the Civil War. Lincoln was laudatory. It was reverential. It painted him as a God among men, and you know what? I believed it. It emphasized the fact that Lincoln's status as an almost supernatural being came from his intellect, his ability to see, simultaneously, the world for what it was and for what it could be. So what he "bought" votes for the 13th amendment and suspended Habeas corpus during the war. Gotta do what you gotta do, right?
There were three stand-out performances, aside from Daniel Day-Lewis. I'll mention them quickly. As far as I'm concerned, Sally Fields is the reincarnated version of Mary Todd Lincoln. I expected Mary to be played as raving and hysterical, but it wasn't so in Lincoln.She played her fairly, imbuing her with fierceness, fragility and dignity. It was refreshing, since she's often made out to be nothing more than some 'cray-cray' lunatic lady our saintly 16th president had to care for against his will. Tommy Lee Jones killed as Thaddeus Stevens, abolitionist, man with a silver tongue and all around uncompromising moral enforcer. They even throw in some screen time for his Irish-American-African-American common law wife, Lydia Hamilton Smith, played by Sharon Epatha Merkerson, to tickle and titillate audiences.
Lastly, it was Jackie Earle Haley as Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate States of America that really won me over. It's a bit part, but boy is it an important one. His sense of desperation, and loss, when Lincoln invites him to rejoin the Union completely on the Union's terms, is some of the finest acting I've seen in ages. What is so interesting—symbolic, even, is how Stephens functions as a shinning example of the South's continued arrogance, even in defeat. It's that arrogance, the film tells us, that led to their succession and defeat in the first place.
Stephens tells Lincoln that he'll only surrender under the guarantee that the Southern states will be re-admitted into the Union quickly enough to block the ratification of the 13th amendment. Lincoln pauses, and then reminds Stephens that the gavel has already come down. He's won the war, they've lost, and they've lost slavery along with it. "All our traditions will be obliterated," Stephens says. "We won't know ourselves anymore."
Now, on the to real question: Did watching Lincoln make me want to read A Team of Rivals? Double YES!

There's a new graphic novel version of Madeleine L'Engle's classic young adult novel A Wrinkle in Time. Jenna Brager takes a look:
A Wrinkle in Time is part of a subgenre of young adult literature in which ordinary, plain children are called upon to do brave, incredible things with the help of newfound powers, and then, inevitably grow up to be extraordinary, attractive adults. In my solitary fort, I ate it up (along with the chips and chocolate). I was Hermione Granger, frizzy-haired and mocked and too smart for my own good. I was Bastian Balthazar Bux from The Neverending Story, chubby and lonely and transported into an epic adventure through the pages of a book. I was Meg Murry, bespectacled, outcast, and misunderstood. Superimposing myself onto Meg, I tessered across the universe with witches who quoted Shakespeare, flew on the back of an angel, fought against the Black Thing shadowing Earth, saved my father and brother from a giant brain that turned people into living automatons, and was cradled in the arms of a kindly fur-covered tentacle beast. I grappled with my own fears, of losing my parents, of being unpopular, of the world ending. I thought about good and evil, about conformity and difference, about love and hate and the existence of God. (A Wrinkle in Time and its sequels, like The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, has been read as Christian allegory, drawing upon biblical themes and sometimes quoting the Bible directly, though it is accessible to readers of any background.) Rereading L'Engle's classic today, I am astounded by the work that young-adult literature can do, the sophisticated places it takes our minds before we're old enough to realize just what is happening.

So awesome!
lav-ishes said: If you had to pick between these two books, which would you pick? 1) The Great Gatsby 2) The Perks of being a Wallflower
That's a great question, but almost an impossible one. Both of these stories about loneliness, alienation, and loss. If I had to choose, though, it would be The Great Gatsby. I think The Great Gatsby has an aura built less on referencing other works, and therefore, is stronger. In fact, The Perks of Being a Wallflower could not exist without The Great Gatsby first being written.4 notes link >

Finishing off the truck's exterior is some new ornamentation. Instead of sticking with the stock grille and bumpers, Spanky pirated a front grille setup from a '91 Suburban. He also installed the Suburban's front and rear bumpers, as well as mid-'90s Chevy mirrors.
On the inside, Spanky's mindset was plush and loud. Instead of sticking with the stock bench seat, he threw a late model GM truck bench in the '84's cab. From there he had elI Upholstery stitch up the cab in brown and tan leather. He also built a custom center console that houses a DVD and VCr player. The door panel houses custom speakers, and behind the seat sit four 10-inch Ma audio subs and two Planet audio amps. Finishing things off are auto Meter gauges housed in the stock locations. as you can see, Spanky is not only a man who knows what he wants, but a man who also gets what he wants.

Outstanding beer fridge We were looking for a high quality beer/beverage undercounter refrigerator for our newly constructed bar in our basement, and this Danby far exceeded our expectations. It's extremely quiet, keeps all beverages cold, plenty of storage for different types of beverages and the side door soda dispenser is great. August 25, 2010
very convenient i keep this next to my bed. i never have to get up for cold water again! July 27, 2010
Just What We Wanted While this is not an "outdoor" rated mini fridge, it has worked great in our outdoor covered pavilion over the last year. It is installed in the outdoor kitchen counter and keeps a surprising amount of beverages nice and cold. It is hard to find a nice looking mini fridge without a freezer, so I was very glad to find this one. Very satisfied with this purchase! July 27, 2010
What more could you want? I use this unit in the wet bar area and can't be happier. Interior light and auto defrost are real pluses. Unit is quiet and reached proper temperature quickly. It has a great little wine rack. This unit is great secondary refrigeration. March 8, 2010

I'm a Little Teapot
|"The Teapot Song"
sheet music cover
|Song by George Harry Sanders and Clarence Kelley
|Sheet music
|Children's music
|Kelman Music Corporation
"The Teapot Song", commonly known as "I'm a Little Teapot", is an American song describing the heating and pouring of a teapot or a whistling tea kettle, which also has a spout but would be used to pour hot water onto tea bags or a tea ball filled with loose tea leaves. The song was originally written by George Harold Sanders and Clarence Z. Kelley and published in 1939.[1]
Clarence Kelley and his wife ran a dance school for children, which taught the "Waltz Clog", a popular and easy-to-learn tap dance routine. This routine, however, proved too difficult for the younger students to master. Initially inspired by Cassandra Lewis. To solve this problem, George Sanders wrote The Teapot Song, which required minimal skill and encouraged natural pantomime. Both the song and its accompanying dance, the "Teapot Tip", became enormously popular in America and overseas.[2]
In popular culture[edit]
United Kingdom
- Tim Brooke-Taylor from the sketch and situation comedy series The Goodies (1970s) would say the first line while miming the actions sometimes when in a panic. The Goodies also recorded a pop song titled "I'm A Teapot."
- In the comedy panel quiz show QI (Series G, Episode 1, "Garden") host Stephen Fry puts both hands on his hips and changes the rhyme to "I'm a little teapot, short and stout, here is my handle, oh bugger I'm a sugar bowl".
- The wording is often slightly different in the UK, in that, "When I get all steamed up" is usually replaced by, "When it gets to teatime".
United States
- "I'm a little teapot, short and stout. Here is my handle, here is my... handle... Gosh, I'm a sugar bowl." (From a character-based physical gag used in the original Saturday Night Live cast skit "Gidget Goes to Shock Therapy").
- Season 1 Episode 4 of Friday the 13th: The Series (episode entitled "A Cup of Time") features the song as sung by a sinister elderly lady cum rock star called "Lady Die" (a partial reference to Princess Diana) played by Hilary Shepard Turner
- Featured as a haunted rhyme that the villain, Andre Linoge, psychically transmits throughout Stephen King's "Storm of the Century" TV movie (1999). The song is also sung in another Stephen King movie "Rose Red" (2002) by the ghost of the child character April Rimbauer.
- The Fanboy & Chum Chum episode "Brain Drain" featured Fanboy singing the song, but with modified lyrics, during the time when his brain fell out of his head and Chum Chum replaced it with a sponge.
- The animated film Batman: Under the Red Hood had the Joker singing this song while pouring gasoline on Red Hood's captured gang, as well as Black Mask and Ms. Lu.
April Fools' Day
- The song is referred to in the Internet technology standards paper RFC 2324,[3] an April Fools' document that describes the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol. One part defines Hypertext Transport Protocol status code 418 to mean "I'm a teapot". This occurs when an attempt to brew coffee with a teapot is made, and the resulting entity body (the contents of the page displayed by the browser) "MAY be short and stout".
- On April 1, 2014, Radiopaedia.org released a prank radiology case entitled 'Teapot syndrome with grade 4 acrofemoral synostosis' that included photoshopped x-rays of a toddler with one arm fused to the femur (the handle) and the other bent (the spout).[4] The case discussion pretended that the song "I'm a little teapot" was created by Sanders to help include a boy with teapot syndrome in an urban jazz routine.

Nike SB Zoom P-Rod 4 – Black – Dark Charcoal – Gum
October 27th, 2010 by Aaron Hope | 3 comments
The Nike SB Zoom Paul Rodriguez 4 has a unique two-piece sole that should lend itself to interesting blocking patterns like the one pictured above. The latest P-Rod IV exemplifies the shoe's elegant if simple leanings with a black suede upper that feels ultra-premium thanks to a grey ostrich Swoosh. Black extends down to the top of the midsole, where the middle and outsole heel give way to gum rubber for a classic skateboarding look that belies the P-Rod 4′s modern technical advantages. A bunch of closeups await your click on the jump below, and you can scoop these up today from select SB spots like Michigan's Premier.

Hinge point for the ailerons.
It /seems/ like the parts for the aileron ribs were done wrong. Lots of people had this same trouble. I've watched a youtube video on how to do them right and I still couldn't figure it out :/ Anyway, I just elongated the precut ribs and the bottom balsa
Underside. I didn't like how thin the plywood on the fuse was at the point where the wing dowels entered it. Plus it was kind of flat looking so I glued on an extra piece and rounded off the underside from the bezel back.
Wing tip. I still need to find something to use as a light diffuser for the LEDs. The light needs to show above and below the wingtip and was teardrop shapped. Like a fishing bobble cut in half.
Wing Saddle. Specifically the balsa that hugs the top of the wing there. Plans don't show any of this, but there are a lot of places you need to fill in with extra balsa in order to maintain a nice looking shape for when you cover it.
Tail Feathers. Same here with the balsa on the stabs where they meet the fuse. Not shown on the plans but needs to be done to look right when covered. Tail light here also needs teardrop diffusers from somewhere.
Dummy Radial. Local hobby shop just happened to have a Williams Brothers 1/6 scale wasp kit sitting around (For like the last 20 years). So I finally took it from them! It's a bit overkill, a 5 cyl would have been more realistic...
I went electric so I made a motor mount that placed the prop shaft at the /exact/ centering and distance from the firewall as shown on the plans for a glow build. I was warned I had better follow the plans as close as possible here so I did.

Starting with the flying surfaces. Went togeather quickly.
Much further along, the fuse is almost done, just need to mount the horizontal stab and link up the servos to the control surfaces. Then finish the wings and rig those up.
Close-up of the little motor facade. I replaced the hidous square pistons that the kit would have had you make entirely and put some dowling with black wire wralled for fins on there. Probably should have added the rocker arm covers and such but the entir

Region: Grapevine
Little has changed over the years when it comes to the thriller genre. A clueless everyman protagonist is pursued by daunting enemies for some unknown reason and is forced to work beyond his means in order to survive. It's the basic premise of dozens of such films, from Marathon Man to the Bourne Trilogy. But long before these flicks made it to the silver screen, the master of suspense perfected the genre. Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest is a Cold War classic starring the rugged Cary Grant as Roger Thornhill, a Mad Men-esque advertising executive who is mistaken for a wanted man and is forced to run for his life, not knowing who is pursuing him or why. This archetype of the genre returns to the big screen in the next installment of the Grapevine Palace Theatre's First Friday Film Series. The series touches on classics from all genres, from Bollywood to Westerns and, of course, suspense. North by Northwest returns to the big screen once more at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the historic Palace Theatre, 300 S. Main St. in Grapevine. Tickets are $5. Call 817-410-3100 or visit grapevinetexasusa.com for more information.

McDonough, the author of Cradle to Cradle: Remaking the Way We Make Things, and more recently, The Upcycle: Beyond Sustainability — Designing for Abundance, has for years taken the long, intergenerational view of waste: Why endlessly recycle products and packaging that contain ingredients that are toxic to human health and the natural environment? For McDonough, the emphasis on "zero waste" and similar efforts is misguided — it's not the quantity of waste that's important so much as the quality. If material quality is high, from an environmental and health perspective, there is unlimited potential for reuse in manufacturing systems, or to return the materials back to the soil as beneficial nutrients.
"Everything is food for something else," he says. "Wouldn't it be great if it was made healthy and reusable across generations? The opportunity here is to transform negative impacts into valuable assets. We can replace environmental liabilities with real value."
For McDonough, one big opportunity is "access to the logistics." He explained: "We can talk with companies about how they can be designing things that are safer, healthier and more optimal for recycling. But unless we have the systems in place to take advantage of that, it's not as rich an opportunity as it can be. That's what's so elegant about this."
The potential for the collaborative is to go beyond consultancy. McDonough believes there's an opportunity to develop new design protocols and materials systems for customers. For example, "We can imagine putting codes on various kinds of materials that are coming at us, so that we know what they are and how to sort for them. Because we're optimizing the logistics and reverse logistics, you can put these materials through their various use periods and you have a very rich opportunity to do design optimizations with people who would like to see the kinds of performance that this intelligence can bring into the next century." Such efforts also stand to make Waste Management's municipal waste facilities more efficient and profitable.
For now, both parties see a significant demand for consulting services. "We hear the upswell from customers saying they're having to deal with more responsibility issues — they're having to understand their products all the way through full life-cycle," says Smith. "We're hearing more and more of our customers look for solutions at the top of the funnel instead of the bottom of the funnel: How they can design products they know will be handled responsibly all the way through their end use?"
McDonough and Smith told me that some of the collaborative's initial efforts will be focused at large companies to which both McDonough and Waste Management are already consulting independently, joining forces to deploy a more systemic approach to design, manufacturing and waste. They declined to name the companies in question.
Smith would only say, "We have some big things in mind."

Custom Magento Module tutorial and ModuleCreator
Creating custom Magento module is bit tricky and tough if you are going with manual approach, because creating a simple Magento module need lots of coding and configuration. In some case if you type the XML configuration in the wrong case then also it will not work. This is the main reason developer hegitate to work on magento or sometime they believe that the Magento is very complex. But if you will lean the internal archticture of the magento and you will have some template module to start work you will really enjoy developing Magento module. In my custom magento module tutorial I will demonstrate how to create magento module and using a template module of the Magento(official name ModuleCreator) and also will demonstrate the complete structure so that creation of the Magento module will be easier for you.
Step -1 Create Module Using Magento ModuleCreator
:- Magento Module Creator is a Magento module which can create a skeleton(blank) module for you. By creating the module using module creator your work will be minimize to 50% only. After creation of the module using module creator you only need to understand the flow of the Magento and little bit of the MVC framework to finish your job. You can download ModuleCreator from Magento Connect website(Thanks to Netz98). But the module supported for version 1.3 only and the current version of Magento is 1.7 on which ModuleCreator is not supported, very sad new. But no need to worry I have made some modification in the existing ModuleCreator and it is working absolutely fine. You can download the modified version of the moduleCreator by clicking here.
If you have installed the module using magento connect then it you only need to open the URL [yourmagentowebsite]/moduleCreator. If you have downloaded moduleCreator from my website unzip the file and place unzip folder in your magento website installation and open URL [yourmagentowebsite]/moduleCreator. In my case it is http://127.0.0.1/magento/moduleCreator . Once you will enter this URL you will find a login page. Following is the snapshot.
Please enter your Magento login username and password to enter into moduleCreator interface. Once you will enter the correct username and password you will get the interface where you need to enter information to create your own new custom module. Following is the screenshot of the page where you need to enter information to create your own custom module.
If you are new for Magento Let me explain that all the input required by moduleCreator.
Namespace: In magento module creation namespace is the container above the module. I will explain this in latter part of this tutorial. Type your company name here like techflirt.
Module: This is the name of your module.
Magento Root Directory: It is the root directory of the magento. It will be auto populated by the module. If not then please enter the correct path of your Magento installation root.
Leave Design field empty.
Click on Create button and you will see the location of your module and module related file. Below is the snapshot.Congratulation!!! You new module has been created. You can see the list of the location of the file created by modulecreator for you. You can login into your magento admin panel and see that a toolbar by your module has been created like below.
Let us move to step 2 where we will explore how to create a new functionality in the magento module and the structure of magento module.
Step - 2 Customizing the your new Module(Adding New feature)
:- In step 1 you have created the blank module. Now it is time extend the feature of the magento using the blank skeleton. you can go to YourMagntoInstallation/app/code/local/techflirt/helloworld directory and see all basic required directory and files has been created. Also it has created a table in the sample database. If you have some basic knowlege of the magento module module structure you can easily go on next step. If you have no idea about the magento module structure please read my next posting on Magento Module Structure.
Have a nice coding ahead.

To understand all that goes on behind the scenes of mergers, I cannot recommend enough an excellent book, "High-tech planet" written by a former executive with Oracle, a serial acquirer. It is a funny, terrific and insightful account of what hides behind headlines-grabbing M&As, especially by tech firms. It describes how companies use fraud, insider trading, manipulation, deceit, and various legal and accounting schemes as part of a corporate acquisition.
I got an education reading it and now am no longer fooled by what I read in the press as I have learned to ask the right questions

Cheap Wine - #1 Vina Borgia Granacha 2010
I know the polite way to classify this category would be to say inexpensive, value or "everyday", but cheap is appropriate. I'll save those other descriptors for better wine. I figure there is a time and place for the cheap stuff. Desperation is top of the list. A close second would be a late night, "we're already bombed but we should actually have a night cap before we consummate this relationship scenario (just kidding Mom). A bottle of wine, no matter the quality, usually trumps beer or whiskey in the latter situation. With a value in mind I have 2010 Vina Borgia Granacha and as the label says it is "from the heart od Aragon" Campo de Borja, Spain. This should be fun and quick:
Color: Bright Magenta
Nose:Fruity, in an over the top juicy way. There is a big fruit juice/ boxed drink nose. It reminds me of Sangria. Yeah, after all the additives. The nose is big and pops out of the glass.
Palate: The nose follows into the palate. Big fruit. This is perplexing my palate as it leaves me searching for the cello-phane wrapped straw that should be attached to the bottle. Cherry and ripe raspberry mingle to form a dominate flavor profile. No oak, since this is fermented and aged in stainless steel. In the finish I get a vague hint of spice.
This wine is not for the snob or connoisseur. This is Tuesday night with take out or an intro to red wine for the white zinfandel crowd. The "sweet" feel to this will have many a wine newbie praising the delicious quality of this wine. This is a great example of fresh wine being produced for the $4.99 price point. I would definitely buy this again and leave it for the impromptu late night visitor, a relaxed night at home, a base for sangria or for the last call bottle when the cellar is locked. My real negative about this wine is the disservice it does to Grenache. This is not typical of the varietal. With that being said, cheers to getting through a work week and being able to enjoy a little bit of wine on the cheap. With Vina Borgia just keep your expectations low and you'll be satisfied.

Attendance at the September 11th Museum in Lower Manhattan has apparently exceeded expectations since it opened last month.
The museum opened its doors to the public on May 21, and officials say more than 300,000 people have visited so far.
That's five percent more visitors than originally projected.
The strong start comes despite controversy over the museum's $24 admission fee.
The museum says the fee is necessary to cover its annual $63 million operating cost.

Limited edition Green and Orange DSi bundles with Mario Party DS, debuting in the U.S. this Friday for $149.99 (click for a larger image). The lime green color was previously limited to Japanese XLs, and I believe the orange model is a first for the handheld in any region!
Neither are as nice as the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary DSi XL, but if you don't care for the bigger screen size and would rather own Mario Party DS than an extra copy of Mario Kart DS, here's your chance to get something nice for yourself in Green or Orange. I expect Amazon to begin offering the new bundles soon.
Japanese trailer for new Nintendo DSi XL/LL colors: Blue, Green, and Yellow. What a fun video!
Nintendo revealed these new system colors for Japan, hitting stores there on June 19th — perhaps the company will release them here to more than double our paltry selection of either Bronze or Burgundy DSi XLs.
Japan will also receive a rare price cut for both DSi XL models (from ¥20,000/$217 to ¥18,000/$196) and standard DSi consoles (from ¥18,900/$205 to ¥15,000/$163), and retailers can now decide an "open price" for the DS Lite.
Nintendo of Europe expects to drop its prices for DSi and DS Lite systems starting June 18th, too, though it didn't specify how much it will cost. I expect we'll see some new hardware prices in North America, too! I guess we have the upcoming 3DS to thank for these cheaper DSi/DSes!
