Wasserstein sees five waves of mergers beginning in the mid-1800s: the first wave involved the building of the railroad empires; the second in the 1920s saw a period of merger mania which was fueled in part by a frothy stock market and rapid industrial growth; the third wave happened during the "Go-Go Years" of the 1960s, which witnessed the rise of the conglomerate; the fourth occurred with the hostile takeovers of the 1980s, driven by names such as Icahn, Boesky, and Milken; and finally Wasserstein sees a fifth wave happening today. He attributes the current explosion of mergers and acquisitions to the need for companies to reposition themselves in today's ever changing competitive environment.
Wasserstein peppers the book with thumbnail personality profiles of some of the big dealmakers including Barry Diller, Sumner Redstone, Carl Icahn, T. Boone Pickens, and Bernard Ebbers. He also considers the many techniques and strategies employed by the dealmakers--poison pills, proxy fights, and bear hugs. Trends such as globalization, deregulation, and profound technological change are causing mergers and acquisitions to happen more than ever, and Big Deal provides a good foundation for understanding why and how these deals happen. --Harry C. Edwards --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

New South Wales Takes State of Origin Series Into Deciding Game
New South Wales defeated Queensland 16-12 to take rugby league's State of Origin into a deciding third game as it seeks to avoid a record-extending seventh straight series loss.
New South Wales rebounded from last month's 18-10 loss in Melbourne by outscoring Queensland three tries to two in front of a crowd of 83,110 at Sydney's ANZ Stadium. The best-of-three contest concludes July 4 at Brisbane's Suncorp Stadium.
Brett Stewart touched down twice and Josh Morris once for the Blues, who last won a series in 2005. Todd Carney added a conversion and penalty goal for NSW.
Queensland, which has won 14 of the 20 matches since beginning its run of series victories in 2006, got tries from Ben Hannant and Greg Inglis, both converted by Jonathan Thurston. Inglis's score extended his record try tally in the State of Origin to 14.

Product Description
The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance - leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Ifans), his father's former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

I read a lot of reviews for this movie before watching it myself. In the end, they all boiled down to a few basic criticisms, which I kept in mind as I made my own appraisal. Here are the major problems people seem to have had with Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man", along with my responses.
1. The reboot was too soon.
This more or less depends on your point of view. True, the last Spidey movie was in 2007, a mere five years ago - more than long enough to warrant another Spider-Man film; not exactly long enough to call for a complete reboot. On the other hand, I think a lot of people would agree that it's been more like eight years since the last GOOD Spider-Man film. I loved Raimi's work with the character, though I do criticize him on some minor points. But in the end, he really dropped the ball with Spider-Man 3, running a lot of good characters into the ground and painting himself into a corner with two hours of very messy plotting. In the end, whether a reboot was necessary per se is a matter of personal preference. But even if you think it wasn't necessary, is it fair to write off the new movie completely as a result? I don't believe it is.
2. We've heard it all before.
Yes and no. This is another interpretation of Spider-Man's origin story. But it's very different from Raimi's first Spider-Man film. More importantly, it's a well-done interpretation. At the heart of this "origin story" is Peter Parker's development from a somewhat geeky, trouble-making teen into a true hero. This transition happened far more quickly in Raimi's first movie, mainly because Maguire's Peter had a more strongly-developed moral compass to begin with.Read more ›

After watching the first five minutes of The Amazing Spiderman, I knew I was gonna like it; after the first hour (which includes a lot of exposition without being tedious) I actually preferred this one to the Raimi versions mainly cuz I think it possesses an intensity and believability that the previous films lacked.
Marvel seems to be producing more mature, rebooted versions of all their super-hero series and I actually prefer this variation on the Spider Man story as well, especially the disappearance of the pointless Mary Jane obsession (which always made me respect Spidey a little less). I suspect that a more scientifically savvy audience appreciates an ever evolving origins story and I also enjoyed the initial dealing-with-new-superpowers interlude which was very amusing and again just seemed a much more realistic reaction from Peter Parker to his new abilities. Exceptional performances for Peter and Gwen are what truly make this production stand out from every other action-packed big-budget flick out there, not to mention a truly scary and menacing super-villain causing some sequences to play a little like a horror film. The tragic loss of his uncle is intensely emotional making the motivation for becoming a vigilante seem more credible, while the use of fantasy tech to supplement his powers added to this as well. love Martin Sheen as uncle Ben, never been much of a Sally Fields fan but apparently the producers were looking for star power to offset the use of mostly unknowns in the starring roles (which I think was a stroke of brilliance by the way).
The FX action sequences are seamless, gorgeous, captivating and again convincing (hitting on this alot I know but I think it's an essential factor).Read more ›

My 9 year old is into Spider-Man, so he wanted to buy this movie on amazon, so I opted for this package and it worked fine. They sent us an email with a code and I went online to schedule us to see Spider-Man 2 (I still had to pay $6 - fandango charges a $2.50 handling fee) We saw Spider-Man 2 today and it was pretty good! We liked it better than the first one. I guess we also get $5 off Spider-Man 2 when it comes into amazon prime, which is good cuz we'll probably get it. REALLY good CGI effects!

Director Marc Webb (500 Says of Summer) brings new life to Marvel Comics' wall-crawling hero in the fun-filled superhero adventure The Amazing Spider-Man. Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is a nerdy high school student and social outcast who attempts to discover the truth behind his parents disappearance when he was young, but a strange twist of fate leads him to the life as New York City's friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Parker will need all his special skills and courage to stop his father's former partner, research scientist Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), who has developed a revolutionary regeneration serum that transforms him into a monstrous 9-foot tall reptile. As a reboot of the popular film franchise, The Amazing Spider-Man preserves many of the key elements of the previous Sam Raimi films, but Marc Webb adds some of his own creativity to the mix. Despite its darker tone, the film features some amusingly lighthearted and comedic moments, impressive visual effects and rousing excitement. The Amazing Spider-Man also stars Emma Stone, Denis Leary, Martin Sheen and Sally Field.
The Blu-Ray release of The Amazing Spider-Man is certainly top-notch. The superhero adventure is presented in its theatrical 2.35:1 format. Its High Definition digital transfer is quite incredible with stunning detail y rich colors. Its 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio is also remarkable. The Blu-Ray features a feature-length audio commentary track with director Marc Webb and producers Avi Arad and Matt Tolmach, over 16 minutes of deleted scenes, storyboards, animated sequences, an interactive picture gallery, behind-the-scene footage, and the seven-part documentary Rite of Passage: The Amazing Spider-Man Reborn. Overall, The Amazing Spider-Man scores a "B+".
Thank you for your feedback.

Special Council of Lower Canada
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Special Council of Lower Canada
|Preceded by
|Parliament of Lower Canada
|Succeeded by
|Parliament of the Province of Canada
The Special Council of Lower Canada was an appointed body which administered Lower Canada until the Union Act of 1840 created the Province of Canada. Following the Lower Canada Rebellion, on March 27, 1838, the Constitutional Act of 1791 was suspended and both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council were dissolved.
The Act of Union united Upper and Lower Canada into a single province with a single parliament, consisting of an upper and lower house. Upon the first meeting of this parliament, the Special Council was dissolved.
In November 1839, the Special Council approved proposals made by Governor Sydenham for the union of the two Canadas.
There were three Special Councils:
- the first, consisting of 24 members, was appointed by the acting Governor General, Sir John Colborne, and served from April 2, 1838 to June 1, 1838, when its members were dismissed by the newly-arrived Governor General, Lord Durham within a week of his arrival in Canada.
- the second, appointed by Lord Durham, existed from June 28, 1838 to November 2, 1838. This council was much smaller than the first had been, with an initial membership of five (later expanded to seven). All the members of Durham's Council were British officials who had arrived in Canada as part of his entourage.
- the third, appointed by Sir John Colborne, existed from November 2, 1838 to February 10, 1841. This consisted of the same members who had been appointed in April. Lord Sydenham, who assumed office as Governor General in 1839, added twelve new members in three rounds of appointments in 1839 and 1840. None of the members of Durham's second Council served on the third Council.

The RoadRunner Dynamic Analysis Framework for Concurrent Programs
IBM Roadrunner
Roadrunner is a supercomputer built by IBM at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, USA. Currently the world's tenth fastest computer, the US$133-million Roadrunner is designed for a peak performance of 1.7 petaflops, achieving 1.026 on May 25, 2008 to become the world's first TOP500 Linpack sustained 1.0 petaflops system.

Dynamic program analysis
Dynamic program analysis is the analysis of computer software that is performed by executing programs built from that software system on a real or virtual processor. For dynamic program analysis to be effective, the target program must be executed with sufficient test inputs to produce interesting behavior. Use of software testing techniques such as code coverage helps ensure that an adequate slice of the program's set of possible behaviors has been observed.

Concurrent computing
Concurrent computing is a form of computing in which programs are designed as collections of interacting computational processes that may be executed in parallel. Concurrent programs (processes or threads) can be executed on a single processor by interleaving the execution steps of each in a time-slicing way, or can be executed in parallel by assigning each computational process to one of a set of processors that may be close or distributed across a network.

Software framework
In computer programming, a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by user code, thus providing application specific software. A software framework is a universal, reusable software platform used to develop applications, products and solutions.
more from Wikipedia
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.

Lock (computer science)
In computer science, a lock is a synchronization mechanism for enforcing limits on access to a resource in an environment where there are many threads of execution. Locks are one way of enforcing concurrency control policies.

I have written a paging system for sql server. and it works great but i am trying to return how many pages there are in total
Hence if there are 5 records and 2 records per page then the total is 3 pages
this is what i have
SELECT @TotalPages = ( (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM #TempItems) / @RecsPerPage )
and my output parameter is defined like so
@TotalPages AS INT OUT,
Now it sort of works :-) in my test there are 5 records and 2 records per page so the above select returns 2 but its wrong it should be 3
This is because its saying 5 / 2 = whole number 2... how do i round up...?
I tired ceiling but couldn't get it to work..
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

The Little People Wheelies Disney/Pixar Cars Radiator Springs playset is a mini Radiator Springs with a figure-eight racing track and some favorite local spots, including Tow Mater Towing, Ramone's House of Body Art, and Luigi's Casa Della Tires complete with its leaning tower of tires. The set comes with Little People Wheelies Lightning McQueen and Mater. Kids can send Lightning McQueen and Mater zooming down the track, but only one car fits at a time. Kids can also take the cars off the playset and race them. The playset also includes a storage garage at Ramone's and a rotating table for spinning the cars.
This is a basic but fun playset that helps kids develop fine motor skills, understand gravity, and use their imaginations. Both vehicles roll very easily and are just the right size for toddler hands. Kids can act out scenes from the movies or create their own adventures for the characters.
The Little People Wheelies Disney/Pixar Cars Radiator Springs playset is for Cars fans ages 18 months–5 years. We think the sweet spot for this set is 2–4 because kids on the older end of the age range can have fun with the playset but may find it a little too simple.
You'll need a Phillips screwdriver to assemble this playset, but we found assembling it easy to do in five to 10 minutes.

Is it possible to use USB 2.0 drivers with the ASUS P5GL MX motherboard? If yes then where can I get the USB 2 drivers from? I cant seem to find them on the Asus site.
All of the drivers are located here.
It uses a standard Intel chipset and if you have any problems updating or getting direct from Asus, you may want to try download general chipset drivers direct from Intel which should do the job just fine.

What an excellent value for your money. Love the style and many features and areas to put your items in. Love this piece of luggage, hope to purchase more of this line of product.
I love this GG hill the Marie luggage the wheels are fantastic easy to maneuver excellent quality I have recommended it to many friends. I love it so much I bought three of them for myself and one for a friend!
I've now purchased 3 of these bags (me, daughter and niece going to England for the summer)! Great quality, rolls smoothly, very well made and absolutely worth well over $***!!! This isn't the "super large" suitcase size- (the one you end up paying extra for because it is too heavy) which is one of the things I like about it. Great size for a 10 day vacation. P.s. I've purchased other Gigi Hill products and I highly recommend them.
I took this on a trip to Belgium and Paris. The 4-way rollers made it great through the airport and train stations. Best thing was NOBODY else had one so i t was easy to spot coming down the luggage chute. AND at this price I suggest getting them as Christmas gifts plus the rolling Audrey for your carry on!
I love the luggage and uniqueness, however I lost one of my wheels traveling and it makes it a little difficult to use as a spinner. Wish I could replace the wheel.
good lookig but very heavy
Used it many time. very durable. Lots of compliments.
Granddaughter took this on her many trips to New York and she has so many pockets to put her shoes, clothing, and personal items. She wont go anywhere without it.. After I saw how sturdy and beautiful they were I regretted not getting a set for myself.
Like this bag. Lots of pockets to store items. Darling patterns
This was a discontinued item but, we travel a couple of time a year to visit family and we needed a new suitcase. The price on this was to good to pass up, and we are thrilled with it. It has a large capacity and lots of pockets to keep things separate.
Only used the suitcase once but loved that I could roll all sorts of ways and not just straight behind me. Good quality.
We purchased this for our granddaughter and expect many years of use. It appears to be well made and suitable for longer trips.
I have had the spinner Gigi Hill luggage for over a year. Gorgeous! Spins smoothly. Fabulous price. Highly recommend them! Bought two as gifts.
Love this bag, only wish I could buy another for my daughter, but can't find it!
For 19.99 this is an amazing buy! It has four wheels that spin independently and the luggage is bigger than a carry on luggage size. If you travel a lot you know that luggage gets destroyed quickly, so this is worth it if you are planning on checking luggage! Great buy for the price!
Good quality, well worth the cost. I've paid full price for other Gigi Hill irolling bag; a great vaule. Love the oil cloth inteor.
This luggage is absolutely beautiful. There will be no mistaking which luggage is yours at the airport carousel
We purchased this suitcase for our granddaughter. It's easy to pull or push because of its 4 independent wheels. We decided on a pink flowery print which we think Kenzie will like. It seems to be made well; but time will tell.
This is my second Gigi Hill purchase and I'm very happy with this also. The product is exactly as described, the wheels move easily and the handle is long enough not to hit my heals as I walk. A good purchase. Hopefully it will wear good as I use it more.
This spinner is the perfect size. too large to fit under the air plane seat but not so big to be bulky. I have had sets with three sizes and this is the middle size. Good for an overnight or a two week vacation.

Today was Jeff Green's last day at 1UP. It was...not a terribly easy day for anyone. I mean, hell, I had a rough day of it, and I've only been employed here for six months. I can't even imagine how some of the others who had been working closely with Jeff for a lot longer are feeling....
My history with Jeff goes back quite a bit more than since I was hired by 1UP, though. I shared this story during the mailbag segment that will be in next week's 1UP FM, but Jeff was actually the first person I ever talked to at Ziff Davis. Way back when I first started the Evil Avatar Radio podcast, I had just happened to nab a Computer Gaming World subscription and discovered how fucking brilliant the magazine was. Unlike most gaming mags I'd read -- and I read them religiously at this point in time -- this one was smart, funny, mature, and packed full of interesting and unique content that I wasn't finding in any other magazine or on the internet. Where the hell did this come from?
In order to answer that question and spread my newfound love for CGW, I wrote Jeff an e-mail and asked him to appear for an interview in my young podcast. Thankfully, he decided to humor me -- I'm sure Jeff had never heard the podcast or heard of me, but apparently he was familiar enough with Evil Avatar to give me a shot. Or, perhaps more likely, he was just a nice enough guy to be willing to take the time for this interview from some annoying kid with a shitty Skype recording setup.
I'm a bit embarassed -- the recording quality really is bad, and I'm definitely not as good a podcast host as I hope I am these days -- but you can check out the interview right here. He discusses the challenges of making a print magazine in an increasingly internet-heavy world, how CGW attempted to set itself apart, and why CGW chose to get rid of review scores (remember that?).
But that's not all! Jeff and I stayed in touch, and he actually ended up coming on the show again a few months later. This time it was to discuss a whole new controversy: Computer Gaming World's transformation into Games For Windows: The Official Magazine. That one is found right here and includes a bunch of questions from the Evil Avatar community and discussion of Mothra for some reason.
Jeff means a lot to me and really is one of the reasons I'm here. He also absolutely taught me what's most important in this industry: being smart, unique, and true to yourself, all while also being a genuinely nice guy. I hope I can live up to that example.
"Game writing is unforgivably boring, and it should be better." -Jeff Green

Ghostbuster Cocktail
It's here! Ghostbusters Day! I've been waiting a while for this movie to come out, and I can't wait to finally see it. I enjoyed the first two Ghosbusters films, love Paul Feig, and love all of the ladies in the new one. Plus, I'm all about supporting films with women playing fun and diverse characters. Am I expecting it to be the best film ever? No way. But the first Ghostbusters weren't either. I'm expecting a fun romp, something I can laugh at and quote and be swept away with for a couple hours.
In honor of the new movie, I decided to tweak and adapt a "Ghostbuster" cocktail recipe into something truly amazing. So, behold, the new and improved Ghostbuster! It's got the signature green color, little "ghost" bits in it, and it tastes like a candied apple. YUM! Make a round for you and your friends before you see the new film, and then let me know in the comments what you thought of the movie!
Ghostbuster Cocktail
- 1.5 oz Sour Apple Pucker (in honor of the film's setting: The Big Apple!)
- 1.5 oz Marshmallow Vodka (you know why…)
- a few drops of Irish Cream
- Shake together the Sour Apple Pucker and Marshmallow Vodka in a shaker with ice. Pour into a martini glass.
- Carefully place a few drops of Irish Cream onto the top of the cocktail. (Be extremely careful and use extremely small drops. I recommend using a dropper or straw to place them in. If you put too much in, or with too much force, it will just fall straight to the bottom.)
- Enjoy!
Goat Cheese and Bacon Tarts and the Outlander Cookbook
By now, I'm sure you've heard of Outlander. The book series-turned Starz series has captured the attention of so many. And while most of us focus on, umm, other scenes, Theresa Carle-Sanders has chosen to focus on its food. The creator of OutlanderKitchen.com, Theresa has made a name making historical and character-based recipes from the book series. And today, some of her recipes have now been released in a book titled "Outlander Kitchen: The Official Outlander Companion Cookbook".
I had a chance to sneak a peek at some of the recipes from this book, and they're all amazing. The recipes include the passage or reference from the book where they're mentioned, beautiful pictures, clear instructions, modern-day adaptations, and notes to make the recipe as perfect as possible. And the recipes are GOOD.
Theresa and the folks at Random House are letting me share a recipe AND give away a copy of this book. Check out the recipe for the delicious goat cheese and bacon tarts, and scroll all the way down for the contest! (Can we talk about these tarts for a second? They have fried sage on them. Fried Sage! I've never seen that before, and now I need to incorporate it in everything.)
Goat Cheese and Bacon Tarts from "Outlander Kitchen" by Theresa Carle-Sanders
(This recipe is inspired by Voyager, chapter 4, "The Dunbonnet")
- 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into ¼-inch strips
- ½ recipe Blitz Puff Pastry (page 29), chilled, or 1 pound (450 grams) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 8 ounces (225 grams) goat cheese
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- Zest of 1 lemon, grated or minced
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 36 small fresh sage leaves, or 18 large ones, cut in half lengthwise
- Move a rack to the top-middle rung and heat the oven to 400°F.
- In a frying pan, crisp the bacon over medium heat. Drain on paper towels.
- On a lightly floured counter, roll the pastry out to a 16-inch square. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the goat cheese, bacon, poppy seeds, 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir well. Cover and refrigerate.
- Lightly beat the egg with 1 teaspoon cold water to make an egg wash.
- Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut 36 rounds from the pastry. Transfer to a parchment paper–lined baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Bake until puffed and golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Reduce the oven to 300°F.
- In a small frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and the butter until bubbling over medium heat. Fry the sage leaves in batches until crisp. Drain on a paper towel–lined plate and repeat with the remaining sage leaves.
- Top each puff pastry round with a teaspoonful of the goat cheese mixture and a fried sage leaf. Heat in the oven for 5 minutes and serve.

Strawberry Shortcake Day is Almost Here!
It's June. The sun is shining, temperature is climbing, and everyone in Seattle is complaining about their home's lack of A/C. Clearly, summer is almost here. And with summer comes one of the tastiest desserts: strawberry shortcake! National Strawberry Shortcake Day is right around the corner (on Tuesday, June 14th!) and I'm preparing to celebrate the holiday with a new recipe and a fun event!
Various Macy's locations around the country are going to be holding special events on the 14th with local chefs to celebrate Strawberry Shortcake Day. I'll be at the one in Downtown Seattle. Join me at 6pm to meet Stacy Fortner, the Executive Pastry Chef at Dahlia Bakery and see a baking demo! Best of all: the event is free! If you're one of the first 50 people there, you'll also get a special gift from Pyrex, and if you make a purchase in the home department that day, you'll get a copy of the (amazing) Dahlia Bakery cookbook. If you're not in Seattle, check out Macys.com/events to find one near you!
In honor of this upcoming holiday and to stretch my baking muscles a bit, I thought I'd make myself some Strawberry Shortcake. And this time, I wouldn't cheat and buy pre-made items at the store. 😉 No, this time, I decided to crack open a copy of Helen Brown's Holiday Cook Book, a somewhat bizarre 1952 cookbook that I recently added to my vintage book collection. Her strawberry shortcake recipe was very basic and written in a colloquial way, like you would find in notes on a family recipe card. ("Add enough milk to make a soft dough" instead of actual amounts.) I took her recipe, added some flair, and figured out some of the measurements. So enjoy my take on Strawberry Shortcake, using a recipe from the 50's, and incorporating my natural sugars.
Strawberry Shortcake
- 2 cups flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3 tbs sugar, divided
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 5 tbs unsalted butter
- 1/4 milk
- 1 pint strawberries
- whipped cream
- Natural Ruby Sparkling Sugar
- Sparkling Strawberries
- Mix the flour, baking powder, 1 tbs of sugar, salt, and egg together.
- Add the butter in small pieces. Mix with your hands to incorporate the butter into the batter.
- Add half of the milk and mix. Slowly add in more milk as needed to make a soft biscuit dough.
- Place the biscuit dough into a parchment paper-lined casserole dish or cake pan, pushing and stretching it lightly to fill the pan.
- Sprinkle the top with some ruby sparkling sugar.
- Bake at 450 degrees for about 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- While the shortcake is baking, rinse and cut up the strawberries, and mix them with 2 TBS sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
- Once the shortcake is out of the oven, let cool slightly.
- Cut the shortcake into squares, and then cut each square in half to make a biscuit "sandwich."
- Place the bottom part of the shortcake onto a plate, and place some of the strawberry mixture and whipped cream on top.
- Top with the top half of the shortcake. Garnish with whipped cream, ruby sparkling sugar, and a sparkling strawberry.
- Enjoy!
Will I see you on the 14th at Macy's? What's your fave strawberry shortcake recipe?
This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of Macy's; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own.
Sparkling Strawberries
Every year, I look forward to spring and summer for one specific reason: the fruit. Fruit is so cheap, delicious, and plentiful then, and I just can't get enough! Right now I'm loving all of the giant, plump strawberries available everywhere. And while I often eat them by themselves (or with a light dusting of sugar or whipped cream, if I'm feeling fancy), I thought I would jazz them up a bit with some of my Natural Ruby Sparkling Sugar.
These strawberries are dipped in chocolate and covered in sparkling sugar, making them look like a jewel-encrusted version of the fruit they are. I think these would be beautiful at a wedding or baby shower, or any time you want something extra special. Plus, they're super easy to make!
Sparkling Strawberries
- Strawberries
- Red candy melts
- Natural Ruby Sparkling Sugar
- Wash and fully dry the strawberries
- Heat the candy melts according to directions.
- Dip the strawberries into the candy melts, coating up to the top.
- While the strawberries are still wet, dip them into a bowl of the ruby sparkling sugar, making sure to fully cover the candy melts.
- Place on wax paper until hardened.
- Enjoy!
You can change the colors of the candy melts and sugar to match the occasion. I've even seen people do this with orange sparkling sugar to make the strawberries look like carrots!
Hamilton's Shot
If you have spent any time with me recently or follow me on any social media, you're probably aware that I've been obsessed with Hamilton. And honestly, you should be obsessed with it too. For those of you who haven't heard of it, Hamilton: An American Musical is a Broadway show that uses hip hop, rap, and diverse, color-blind casting to tell the story of Alexander Hamilton's life. I know. It sounds ridiculous. But I promise, even if you don't listen to rap, even if you're not an American history buff, you've gotta give it a try. Right now. You can find it on Spotify and iTunes and Amazon and wherever you listen to music. Go ahead. I'll wait.
…Done? Good. Now, remember the song "My Shot"? It's probably the one stuck in your head at this very moment. We're gonna play with that today and make Hamilton's Shot!
Hamilton's Shot is a red, white, and blue shot made with Caribbean rum. It's colorful and tasty and fun. Plus, the shot comes with a "greenback" for those who need a bit of a chaser. (Get it? Cause Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury and he's on the $10 bill! I know, genius.) But you may not even need it: the grenadine and blue curacao add a very fruity and sweet taste, so you'll barely even notice the burn of the rum.
Now, the trick to getting the beautiful red, blue, and white layers is to tip the shot glass slightly and to slowly pour the next ingredient onto the glass so it meets up with the previous layer. The first try or two may not turn out super well. Don't throw away your shot! Take a break and enjoy the not-as-pretty but still tasty drink, and then try one last time. Soon enough you'll have a shot that makes you satisfied.
- 1 part grenadine
- 1 part blue curacao
- 1 part Caribbean white rum
- (optional) green fruity drink (I found a green Sunny D in the juice aisle. Ecto-cooler could also do the trick!)
- Pour grenadine into a shot glass, filling it just 1/3 of the way. That would be enough.
- Tip the shot glass and slowly pour in the blue curacao, aiming for the inside wall of the shot glass.
- While still tipping the glass, pour the white rum slowly, aiming for the inside wall of the shot glass.
- Slowly place the shot glass upright and marvel at the beautiful shot you created!
- Pour some of the "greenback" into a glass.
- Time to take a shot! (Once you perfect this shot, you'll be making them non-stop for your friends!)
Now that I've made one Hamilton-themed drink, what comes next? I think I'll have to perfect a recipe for a Hurricane. 😉

Apocalypse Nownies and The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse
A few weeks ago, in honor of the Season 6 premiere of The Walking Dead, I received a review copy of The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse. Now, I originally thought this would be a series of zombie-themed recipes, but what I didn't expect is that this book would be full of practical advice. You may not realistically expect to be caught in a Zombie Apocalypse in the near future, but it got awfully windy and stormy in Seattle this past week, and many of my friends and neighbors ended up without power. Luckily, since I was reading this book, I knew to start making something delicious with my perishables, just in case the fridge/freezer didn't make it through the night. I made Apocalypse Nownies, one of the first recipes and one of my many favorite puns in the book. These brownies were so great, I got permission to reprint the recipe here! Check it out at the end of the post.
In addition to these fun and delicious recipes, this book is full of amazing tips and tricks for any survival situation. You have recipes and guides for using up ingredients in your pantry, foraging and hunting through your neighborhood, gardening, pickling, and even repurposing MREs into slightly-more-gourmet fare. You're taught how to find and filter water, and how you can prepare a variety of heat sources to cook your recipes. It's incredibly practical and informative, set in an entertaining, zombie filled premise. But I'm guaranteed this book will save lives, or at least save you a bit of discomfort. Get it, read it, and then keep it in your emergency kit/bug-out bag. (Don't have one of those yet? This book will show you how to put one together.)
Ok, enough talk about disasters and survivals. Let's make some brownies!
Apocalypse Nownies
Recipe from The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse by Lauren Wilson
- 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the pan
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 8 oz. chocolate (unsweetened baking preferable, or whatever you have on hand)
- 6 tbsp. butter, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1 1/4 c. white sugar
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp. espresso powder (optional, but recommended)
- 1/8 tsp. salt (omit if using salted butter)
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 c. chopped walnuts (optional, but recommended)
- Start a cooking fire, either well in advance to generate sufficient embers for 350 degree baking, or with the Hibachi Grill. Grease and flour a baking vessel.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and baking powder until well-combined. Set aside for now.
- Set a medium pot, half-filled with water, over the cooking fire to use as a double boiler. Add the chocolate and butter to a second mixing bowl and rest it on the pot, stirring occasionally until completely melted and smooth. Remove the bowl from the heat, add the sugar, vanilla, espresso powder, and salt (if needed). Mix until well incorporated and let cool for about 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking until the batter is shiny and smooth after each addition. Add the flour mixture and whisk again, more gently this time, until the mixture is smooth and shiny. The batter should be fairly thick. Add the walnuts and mix until just combined.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth out to edges if needed. Bake for about 20 minutes in a 7-by 11-inch metal baking pan. Check the brownies after about 15 minutes to avoid overbaking–they are ready when the sides are firm and the center has just set (a knife or toothpick in the center comes out relatively clean). Rotate the pan periodically to ensure even cooking, especially if using an Oven Hack.
- Consume ravenously after letting the cooked brownies cool for 10-15 minutes.

Hemingway's Ghost Cocktail By 3 Howls
I had the pleasure of exploring the 3 Howls Distillery in SODO a couple weeks back and trying some of their delicious spirits. (I'm a huge fan of their banana, blood orange, and rosemary vodkas!) Their spirits are made by geeks–the distillers have backgrounds in science and tech, and use those in their practice. For instance, they use vapor infusions for their spirits! You know that we love geeks here, and they love us as well. So much, in fact, that they wanted to make a geeky cocktail just for us!
They took the idea of a Hemingway Daiquiri and used a bit of science know-how to turn it into a beautifully layered cocktail. I like to think of it as Hemingway's Ghost: The middle layer floats among the other two clear layers, based on the weight of each layer. It's the perfect cocktail for Halloween, and the layering "trick" helps make this "treat" perfect. Grab yourself a couple quick supplies and make yourself some Hemingway's Ghosts for your Halloween party!
Hemingway's Ghost
- 1.5 oz 3 Howls Gold Label Rum
- 1 oz grapefruit Juice
- .25 oz lime juice
- .5 oz Maraschino Liqueur
- Pour Maraschino Liqueur into the bottom of a glass.
- Shake the grapefruit and lime juices in a shaker with ice. Pour the juice mixture on top of a spoon right above the liquid already in the glasss. Let the juice run down the inside of the glass from the spoon.
- For the top layer, pour the rum into the spoon in the same manner as the juice.
- Serve and enjoy! You can enjoy the cocktail as-is to taste the indivual ingredients, or you can gently mix them together after the "ooh"s, "ahh"s, and pictures have stopped.
Have you made a layered drink before? What's your fave concoction? Let me know in the comments! And special thanks again to 3 Howls for providing the recipe. Check out all of their awesome spirits!
Superhero Mac and Cheese with Banza Chickpea Pasta
While at the Fancy Food Show in NYC, I came across a booth for Banza, a high protein and gluten free pasta made from chickpeas. I love pasta, I love chickpeas, and I love free samples of food, so I have to admit I stopped by their booth a couple times. The pasta sample was SO good. So good, in fact, that I've kept in contact with the folks over at Banza, and agreed to work with them on creating an awesome recipe showcasing their pasta. I've been testing it in all of my normal pasta dishes, and it works so well that Mr. Geek now requests it over normal pasta for dinner. But I didn't want something normal. I wanted to make something EPIC. I turned one of my fave Mac and Cheese recipes into a slightly spicy, protein-packed, gluten-free dish made for a superhero. And I topped it with sprinkles because no one was there to stop me. Guess what? It was delicious. (And the sprinkles added a slightly sweet crunch which complemented the spicy mac and cheese really well!)
So give this dish a try when you want to make something warm, gooey, and comforting, that won't leave you feeling like you just ate your weight in carbs. Pair it with a big, fresh garden salad and you've got yourself a balanced meal!

Superhero Mac and Cheese
- 2 tbs unsalted butter
- 3 1/2 tbs gluten-free flour
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 7 ounces white cheddar cheese, grated (about 1 3/4 cups)
- 1 ounce pepperjack cheese, grated (1/4 cup)
- 1/2 tsp coarse salt
- 1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp black pepper
- One box Banza elbow macaroni (8 oz)
- 1 ounce (1/4 cup) white cheddar cheese, grated
- 1 ounce (1/4 cup) pepperjack cheese, grated
- ½ tsp chipotle chili powder
- 1/8 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 tbs lightning bolt sprinkles
- To first make the sauce, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Once the butter has melted, whisk in the flour and continue to whisk and cook for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add milk, whisking constantly.
- Let sauce cook until it thickens, about 10 minutes, while stirring frequently.
- Remove pan from heat and add the cheeses and seasonings listed in the "SAUCE" section. Stir until everything is fully melted. Set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Cook the macaroni according to the package, but remove 1 minute before the lowest cook time on the packaged directions. (It will continue cooking in the oven!) Rinse the pasta in cold water and let it drain.
- Oil an 8-inch casserole dish and set aside.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, and mix until well coated. Pour the mac and cheese mixture into the casserole dish.
- Cover the mac and cheese with the additional grated cheese, then the chili powder, then the gluten-free bread crumbs, and finally with the sprinkles.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until bubbling and amazing looking. Enjoy!
(Don't need gluten-free options? Feel free to use regular flour and bread crumbs!)
What's your fave mac and cheese recipe? Would you be willing to try sprinkles on your dish? And have you tried Banza?
How To Make Patissez's Nutella and Salted Pretzel Freakshow Shake
Patissez, a small bakery in Canberra, has created a monster. They've created and sell "Freakshows," gigantic milkshakes topped with baked goods and spilling over with decadent ingredients like salted caramel, fudge, vanilla cream, and Nutella. The pictures have been everywhere the last few days, and when I first saw them, I stopped dead in my tracks. The milkshake was so ridiculous and messy and amazing and I had to have it. Unfortunately, plane tickets to Canberra are a bit out of my price range for a milkshake. So what's a girl to do? MAKE HER OWN.
Three of their milkshakes incorporate baked goods made in house, and I knew I wouldn't be able to compete with that. But one of them, the Nutella and Salted Pretzel shake, uses ingredients any of us can find at our local grocery store. Plus, who wouldn't be up to the challenge of using half of a container of Nutella for one milkshake?
The tricks to this shake is to go big, get messy, and make as much as you can from scratch. Making homemade vanilla whipped cream gave it a nicer color, flavor, and texture than using the pre-made bright white stuff from a can. When it all came together, I stood back in awe. I felt a bit like Dr. Frankenstein: giddy at my monstrous creation, and thrilled that I had done it. But after consuming just a fifth of it? I had wondered what I had brought into the world. This shake is rich, huge, disgustingly delicious, and it should not be for one mere mortal. Please, drink responsibly and share this with your entire family.
Ok, enough disclaimers. Let's get to the recipe.
Nutella and Salted Pretzel Freakshow Shake
- 3 cups ice cream
- Nutella. Just bring the whole container to this party. You'll use a little under half of it.
- 2/3 cup milk
- mini pretzels
- vanilla whipped cream (see recipe below)
- Place the ice cream, 1/3 cup Nutella, 2/3 cup milk, and 6 mini pretzels in the blender. Blend until smooth.
- Take a mason jar and make a stripe around the inside of the jar with the Nutella.
- Cover the outside rim of the jar with Nutella–enough where pretzels can be pushed into it and stick.
- Place mini pretzels on the Nutella-covered rim of the jar in a decorative fashion.
- Pour the milkshake into the mason jar. Leave some room at the top for a cleaner experience, fill it to the brim if you want "milkshake waterfalls" to pour out everywhere.
- Place the vanilla whipped cream in a ziplock bag and cut off one of the corners, making a makeshift piping bag. Pipe the whipped cream on top of the milkshake. Don't be afraid to go above the jar and over the sides a bit!
- Using a spoon, plop small amounts of Nutella onto the top of the whipped cream. Stick mini pretzels into the little Nutella pockets you've made.
- Crush 2-3 pretzels into dust and sprinkle it on top of the milkshake.
- Add some fun straws for flair, and enjoy!
Vanilla Whipped Cream
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- Begin whisking the cream in a cold bowl. (If using a mixer, work up to using one of the faster settings)
- Slowly add the vanilla and powdered sugar while continuing to mix the cream.
- Mix until stiff peaks form.
The beauty of a milkshake is that it's easy to experiment and fix your mistakes. Want it thicker? Add more ice cream? Want it thinner? Add more milk. Need more Nutella? Add more Nutella. (Or just lick the edge of the jar, for goodness sake. There's SO MUCH Nutella everywhere.) I made all of the shake's ingredients in denominations of 3s so you can easily increase or decrease the size.
If you could make your own flavor of freakshow shake, what would you include? I think mine would be a banana cookies and cream shake with chocolate whipped cream, multiple oreos, and an entire banana. Cause why not?
Barefoot Bubbly Prosecco and a "Little Mermaid" Themed Drink
I had the pleasure of sampling some of Barefoot Bubbly's Prosecco the other day, and while I'm not one to turn down sparkling wine of any type, I was particularly excited about this one. Barefoot Bubbly is close to my heart: Mr. Geek and I had the pleasure of visiting a tasting room of theirs back when we were engaged, and it's now the sparkling wine we go for when we're celebrating anniversaries or special occasions. We've gotten the Brut in the past, but I think after this, we'll be grabbing the Prosecco first.
The Prosecco is the perfect thing to sip on a sunny day. It's crisp, has the perfect tickle of bubbles, and has a not-too-sweet citrus taste. (I sensed a taste of green apple in there, myself.) It would be perfect just by itself, or would complement a fruit-filled brunch or a spicy lunch or dinner.
As I sipped it, I pictured myself on a sunny, warm, beach. Waves crashing nearby, sun beating down on me. And maybe it's because I was currently helping plan a Disney-themed bachelorette party, or because I was already a glass of Prosecco in, but I started thinking about The Little Mermaid, and how this would probably be her drink of choice. (Let's pretend for a second that she wasn't 16. Ahem.) I can just see her sipping a glass of this with Eric, reminiscing about the first day she had legs. Barefoot, on the beach. The bubbles in the drink reminding her of the foamy sea.
In this mindset, I decided to dress the Prosecco up a bit to be more "Little Mermaid" appropriate. (See picture above!) Your Prosecco ends up looking like the ocean with a sandy beach on top. It's super easy and adds a dash of pizzazz to your drink!
"Under the Sea" Bubbly
1. Moisten the rim of a champagne glass with a bit of champagne.
2. Rim the glass with gold glitter crystals.
3. Splash a dash of Blue Curacao into the glass.
4. Fill with Barefoot Bubbly's Prosecco.
5. Top with a cocktail umbrella.
6. Enjoy while imagining you're on a beach!
Darling, it's better down where it's wetter, when the "wetter" is the bottom of the champagne glass!
So next time you want to feel like a teenage mer-princess, start sipping that Barefoot Bubbly!
Are you a Barefoot Bubbly fan? What's your fave type?
(Thanks again to Barefoot Wine for sharing some bottles for me to sample!)

We visited the falls just before 5pm in low tourist season. I tell you this because it meant that we had the whole place to ourselves!
Located at the end of a secondary road the falls are serviced by a small reception area, cafe and changing rooms. They haven't been developed much more than this, there's no car parking - it's literally first come, first parked - the cafe only had 3 or 4 tables, and the changing rooms have doors that don't lock!
At the end of the day the sun was setting and filtering through the valley that has been cut through rock by waters past. It was a beautiful day, it was nice and warm and a dip in the cool water at the falls was the perfect way to end a day of driving around the island!
Its a beautiful little spot - especially when you get it all to yourself! - and the water is deep enough to jump off the surrounding rocks into (it's 6 metres deep!) if you want to. It may not be quite so tranquil at other times......

The Tennessee Supreme Court has reversed decades of precedents in a ruling that places the burden of proof on employers to prove that claims of discrimination or retaliation are false. Previously, employees were required to prove that they weren't fired for cause before a case could proceed to trial. "The initial reaction from some folks in our community is this is egregious. Big businesses will likely settle, but many small businesses will likely go out of business," said Jim Brown of Tennessee's branch of the National Federation of Independent Business.

The series is just how I remember it, engaging, fun and a whole heap of facts and trivia. It was thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining for both my students and my friends. IT IS WELL WORTH THE $11.49!!
The only downside is the DVD quality: Its a little below average, but for twelve bucks I wouldn't complain.
(If you do watch the series for nostalgic reasons with friends, try this drinking game: Whenever Zack screams "IIIVVVVYYYYYYY" while falling; take a drink.)

All 40 episodes on 4 DVD's
The image quality is a bit of a disappointment since they crammed 10 episodes per DVD as well as some bonus features. That said, when I play this on my computer, my DVD fan will run very high because so much space was used on the DVD's. In my opinion, it would've been a lot better if they released this on Blu-Ray. As we all know, Blu-Ray DVD's can hold a lot more space than regular DVD's. Personally, I gladly would have forked over $50 for the complete set (as long as it's in airdate order and uncut) on Blu-Ray either that or they should have put them on more DVD's but I suppose this release will do for now.
The packaging is pretty piss poor. The DVD's come in 4 paper sleeves and a single DVD case. Whoever thought that was a great idea to hold DVD's that way should be fired. This puts the DVD's at risk for scratching and plenty of finger prints. Whatever happened to the days when companies released complete series in actual box sets or thinpak releases?

Unfortunately, this is not in the original airdate order. Is it really that hard to put all the episodes in the correct airdate order? I know I'm just nitpicking but I want to watch the series the same way as it was airing in the 90's. On the plus side, the openings and endings are included on every episode. Overall, this is a decent release and worth picking up for the nostalgia. Hopefully one day, another company will give the series a proper release in the future.
5 stars for the series 1 star for the release.
A fun fact is this show came into creation from the Children's Television Act that wanted more educational programming for kids. The entire series run is included on these four discs and to be fair, almost all of them are in pretty good condition. (Only true issue is with the audio for "By A Whisker" but is minor at best)
The show stars ACME detectives Zach and Ivy as they tail Carmen Sandiego across the world attempting to catch her. There are plenty of twists and turns along the way including Carmen teaming up with them to foil criminals not as classy as herself.
Plenty of talented voice actors adorn this series including Scott Menville as Zac, Rodger Bumpass as "The Chief", Jennifer Hale as Ivy, and the timeless Rita Moreno as Carmen Sandiego. It is one of those series that stands the test of time and while giving you a history lesson, it doesn't throw it in your face.
My only issue is that the series was sadly cancelled before its time and never truly had the ending that it deserved. The best part of the entire deal here on Amazon is that you get nearly 15 hours of video for less than $10 dollars and since it is the entire series run, that can't be under sold. You can find most of the episodes on the Internet but no one truly has the full run of episodes.
What are you waiting for, "Buy it now!"
