text: Just turned 18, we meet this total first timer at a restaurant, check her IDs, and then have her flash her breasts right there! She's got some really perfect, firm natural D cups! Next day, she comes in shy and nervous, so there is a strip tease warm-up. She talks about how much she likes sex, so we introduce her to some toys. She heads straight to the Long Pink toy and a vibrator... she likes them big! She double penetrates herself by using the vibrator anally, and pounds herself hard (and rather deep!) with the Long Pink toy. After getting off with those toys, she also uses a clitoral vibrator for more stimulation as well. We go out shopping at a mall, where she flashes several times, even gives herself a breast massage right at a clothing store! In the changeroom she tries on several outfits, and picks her favorite. Back home, she shows off what she bought, and massages her full breasts real hard. Straight to the big toys, she goes riding on the Big Ten Toy, and its a nice, hard, and deep ride. For someone so small, she takes big toys so incredibly deep! On the next day, she's picked up from her school, and she experiments some more, with toys and a bottle. Then we get some extreme closeups, and her playing with her light auburn pubic hair. Got to see her massage those breasts hard! A total First Time Video Girl, exclusive to FTV!

Having begun airing on May 26, SBS's A Gentleman's Dignity and MBC's Time Slip Dr. Jin recently waged a battle of viewing share. The first episodes of both the series were mostly watched by women in their forties.
The first episode of A Gentleman's Dignity recorded a viewing share of 14.1%, which was 3.1% higher than its previous series, Dummy Mommy, according to AGB Nielsen Media Research, on May 27.
Women over their forties took up the bigger part of the viewing audience than any other sex and age groups.
In the first episode, architect Kim Do Jin, played by Jang Dong Gun, and three of his friends show up, and Don Jin gets to know of Seo Yi Soo, played by Kim Ha Neul.
The first episode of MBC's Time Slip Dr. Jin recorded a viewing share of 12.2%. The record is 1.1% lower than the record set by the first episode of Feast of Gods, a series that aired before Dr. Jin.
In the first episode, great surgeon Jin Hyuk, played by Song Seung Hun, loses his conscious when he sees an unidentified patient, and the doctor time travels from 2012 to 1860.

The Vox eReader is an attempt by kobo to bridge the gap between e-readers and tablets, but there are a few bricks missing in this bridge...
There is little doubt that the Kobo was designed and marketed with women in mind -- and with good reason too since 61 percent of e-Reader owners, and 43 percent of tablet owners are women.
On the style side the Vox really appeals. I could see the woman opposite me on the train eyeing it with envy, and then looking down disappointingly at her dull, grey Kindle with its dull, grey screen.
It feels nice to hold - and it feels nice to be envied.
However, what the woman sat opposite me doesn't know is that I am the envious one. At least she is reading on her grey Kindle - I'm still sat waiting for my book to load up. The device itself is unsatisfactorily slow, the touch screen unresponsive at times, and its battery life is disappointingly short (at realistically about five hours - not the seven hours Kobo claim).
So if you want to use the Vox for a 10-minute read, it's too slow, and if you want to use it to on a long flight, it will struggle to last.
Despite a relatively poor product in comparison to Kindles same-priced color eReader the Fire, Kobo have had surprising sales success thanks to some useful partnerships.
In Canada, Kobo is the eReader market leader with a 45 percent market share.
This success has no doubt been assisted by their strategic partnership with high street book-store chain Chapters, a strategy which has been mirrored in the UK through a partnership with WHSmith.
When it comes to deciding which electronic devices to buy, about 32% of women - compared to 26% of men - said ease of use was most important.
Kobo have taken this on board as these partnerships allow women to engage with the product in stores within 'kobo centres' - a strategy which has proven results in Apple's success, and also catches us when we are already in the mood to buy books - clever.
It is clear that Kobo's engaging marketing strategy appeals to women, and the Vox's features on paper make it a great in-between of e-readers and tablets - colour screen, apps, ability to browse the web...
But in reality the kobo has restricted itself as its slow speed makes it a brick short of the bridge between tablets and e-readers.
The kobo is available from WHSmith for £150

The New Theatre and Its Beginning -- The Question of Diction and Acoustics -- Views of an Outsider.
November 14, 1909,
, Section Magazine Section, Page SM14, Column , words
It is unfortunate in a sense that a certain apologetic tone has had to be a pervading quality in most of what has been thus far written about the production at The New Theatre. The founders have provided such a beautiful establishment and they have been so lavish in their expenditures on externals that one is necessarily led to sympathize with their efforts.

The latest issue of the journal Science includes a policy forum piece written by Sciencebloggers Chris Mooney (The Intersection) and Matt Nisbet (Framing Science). In the article, they argue that scientists do not, for the most part, use effective communications strategies when trying to defend science. Both Chris and Matt anticipate that this view is likely to be somewhat controversial, and that it is likely to spark a vigorous debate. I think that they are probably right about this, and not just because their article includes at least one paragraph that is likely to set PZ off faster than a lit match dropped into a five-gallon can of kerosene.
As Chris and Matt point out, we scientists tend to act under the assumption that the public will "get it" if we can just get them to understand the science. Larry Moran agrees with that perspective, and points out that people like Gould, Dawkins, and Sagan were pretty good at communicating science just that way. Larry does have a point there, but I think it misses the main point that Nisbet and Mooney were making: it's also important to communicate concepts to people who don't give a damn about the science. They also point out that the opponents of good science are very good at framing their views on stem cell research, the environment, teaching evolution, and other areas that fall at the intersection of science and politics.
I think Matt and Chris are right. We do need to spend more time (and thought) on communicating our views effectively, particularly to people who do not care about science.
Let's face it. Blogging is fun, and I enjoy talking about science, especially when it's relevant to public debates. That said, I have a pretty good idea of who reads these blogs. When it comes to controversial issues, we're preaching to the choir. There's nothing wrong with preaching to the choir – that's how you get them to sing – but we can't just preach to the choir.
Many – most – of the cases where science has gotten caught up in partisan political debates are issues that are important beyond the scientific community. These are issues where people – individual people – need to know that the issue is important, and that it is going to be important to them personally. This is hard, because as Nisbet and Mooney point out:
In reality, citizens do not use the news media as scientists assume. Research shows that people are rarely well enough informed or motivated to weigh competing ideas and arguments. Faced with a daily torrent of news, citizens use their value predispositions (such as political or religious beliefs) as perceptual screens, selecting news outlets and Web sites whose outlooks match their own. Such screening reduces the choices of what to pay attention to and accept as valid. [citations omitted]
What's a scientist to do?
Matt and Chris suggest that we use a technique that they call "framing." This consists of emphasizing the parts of the message that relate to the things that the audience cares about. Larry says that "framing" looks a lot like "spin" to him, and I don't think he's wrong. On a visceral level, I don't like the basic idea of framing. It just doesn't feel right. Intellectually, though, I have to admit that it might be a necessary evil. The opponents of science are very, very good at framing issues their way, and the strategy has been working for them.
As much as I would like to live in a world where everyone was engaged, informed, and interested in public policy, I don't. I want to get more people interested, and I want to see the soundbite culture replaced with substantive discourse. Right now, though, I don't think we have the time. As long as the people we need to reach are uninterested in the science involved in the issue, we're going to need to find other ways to get them interested in the issue itself. Framing the issue in a way that shows people why they should care is one way to do that, and I'm not sure that there is a better one.

Stamford police arrest fugitive
Published 10:11 pm, Friday, October 5, 2012
STAMFORD -- An immigrant from the former Yugoslavia wanted in three states and facing deportation by federal officials was arrested by Stamford police on Thursday after he was spotted looking for unlocked lockers at a local health club, police said.
After he gave police a fake name and ID, a fingerprint check determined the man was Ilir Gecaj, 41, of 25 Wellington Court, Shelton. A police database found numerous warrants for Gecaj's arrest from Michigan and New York, as well as from Ridgefield, Westport, New Canaan and New Haven.
Federal officials are also looking to prosecute and deport Gecaj on identity theft charges, according to police.
"He has been wanted for more than a year," said Stamford Police Capt. Richard Conklin.
Stamford police apprehended Gecaj on Thursday evening shortly after receiving an anonymous call reporting a man casing the men's locker room at the Stamford Athletic Club near police headquarters on Bedford Street. Unable to explain to police what he was doing in the club, Gecaj was taken into custody and booked on third-degree criminal trespass.
As Gecaj was getting ready to leave, the fingerprint database began to return information, Conklin said.
"His fingerprints are run and all kinds of hits come in on a guy named Ilir Gecaj, and it's like the bells and whistles start going off with the computer," Conklin said.
Stamford police charged Gecaj with criminal trespass, being a fugitive from justice, third-degree forgery, identity theft, third-degree forgery, interfering with an officer and violation of probation. He was arraigned at state Superior Court in Stamford on Friday and held in lieu of $1 million bond.
Conklin said Gecaj's crimes have usually begun with the theft of a credit card, which he would take to a high-end jeweler to buy expensive items.

Jolene Lyrics
Artist: Reba McEntire
Album: Live
(Dolly Parton)
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
I'm beggin' of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him
Even though you can
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin
And eyes of emerald green
He talks about you in his sleep
There's nothing I can do to keep from cryin'
When he calls your name Jolene
Repeat Chorus
Well you can have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do Jolene
Repeat Chorus
Ya know I've met Dolly Parton,
and I'm glad to say that we're pretty good friends.
I've met Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette, Brenda Lee.
A lot of people who have influenced me.
Other folks like Merle Haggard George Jones and
Ray Price. It really upsets me cause I didn't get to meet a lot of the
people who did influence me, like I never got to meet Bob Wills
and I never got to meet this next lady I'm gonna tell you about.
The only way I can tell you about her now,
is the way I learned about her the best is through her songs.

Could this be the start of a Santa Claus Rally? There was the faint sound of jingle bells yesterday as the FTSE 100 gained ground for the first time this month.
Although historically London's benchmark index usually rises over the course of December, this year the blue-chips had not closed in positive territory since November 28.
But yesterday, the premier index broke its duck to finish up 53.66 points, or 0.8pc, at 6,551.99, its biggest one-day rise since October 11.
After edging higher in morning trade, strong US jobs numbers saw the index kick higher during the afternoon. The reaction to the data took some by surprise, as many expected the figures to spur worries the Federal Reserve will start to scale back its stimulus measures.
Still, while the blue-chips rose on the day, they will have to continue to climb if the FTSE 100 is to record another festive rally: Overall, the index is still down 1.5pc since the start of the month.
London's oil and gas groups were among the session's risers. Royal Dutch Shell's B shares, 61p higher at £21.57, BG Group, 13p better at £12.25, and BP, up 2.3 at 477.45p, were all helped by HSBC, which started coverage of the three with "overweight" ratings. Shell shares also benefited from its decision not to build a $20bn (£12.3bn) gas-to-liquids plant in Louisiana.
In the FTSE 250 – 159.35 higher at 15,317.05 – homebuilder Berkeley Group climbed 255p to £25.37 in the wake of impressive first-half results. Investors in Firstgroup, 5½ better at 116.6p, cheered the appointment of Aviva chairman John McFarlane to the same role at the transport company. Shore Capital analysts were pleased and said: "The swift action and turnaround at Aviva under his executive stewardship is a welcome read across to FirstGroup as it continues to grapple with the previous regimes legacy of underinvestment."
Domino's Pizza, however, slumped 49 to 480p on the surprise departure of its chief executive.
Down with the minnows, Strategic Natural Resources (SNR) jumped 3¾ to 7.875p on news entrepreneur Andrew Ruhan, the brother of SNR's chief executive, had loaned about £875,000 to its subsidiary, Elitheni Coal, to repay creditors.

The grayness of the day outside only made the cosy salon more welcoming when I arrived. "It's the perfect day to be at the hairdresser," I said to Ivo, the salon owner.
Jamie arrived just after me, and ushered me to her small room upstairs, where the walls, matched the greenish gray of Lake Simcoe across the road.
It was good to see my friend again and have the completely self indulgent experience of putting my hair in her hands while we catch up on the past couple of months in our lives.
As I settled into the chair, Jamie said, "I have a story for you," and then slid the decoratively frosted glass door to her room, closed for privacy.
"This is like a little doll's house, so many stories are shared here: heart-rending; silly--and mostly a whole lot of laughter," she said.
She began her story by telling me about a friend whom she has never met face to face. They met through a dating website but for one reason and another, their only relationship has been through text message. Even so they've become good friends.
He moved to Barrie to support his mother who has cancer and she has been losing the battle. This week she moved into a hospice. and his two little daughters who live with their mother in another city, were brought by their other grandparents to say goodbye to their grandma.
He comes to Jamie's mind several times a day. She hasn't lost her mother, but she lost a grandmother who was like a mother. She thought about how this must feel--losing his mother--and she mentioned in one of her texts that she had added him to her prayers. She was surprised when he texted back how deeply that touched him.
Jamie's own road has had some rocky patches lately and she said that one day this week as she stepped into the shower she was just about to drift into the "Poor Me's" when this friend's situation came to mind, and she thought, "It might be tough but it's not 'that.' It could have been 'that,' and I'm so grateful it's not." Her own problems seemed suddenly much smaller in comparison.
I thought of what's been going on with me lately--the determination to live wholeheartedly and with gratitude and how that has changed my experience in the moment. Remembering the load some people have to carry as Jamie did, is a good discipline.
I stepped back out into the wintry day, with great hair; a story; and a grateful heart; ready to start a new Whole Hearted Week.
Proverbs 4:23
Easy-to-Read Version (ERV)
23 Above all, be careful what you think because your thoughts control your life.

Things Travelers Need To Know
Packing Luggage
Travel Advice - Alternatives to TSA Locks
We have heard stories of the Transportation Security Administration inspectors breaking locks on luggage to inspect the contents. We cover tips for Packing with security in mind and TSA approved locks elsewhere, but what if you don't want to shell out the bucks for TSA approved locks, don't have time to get them, or they are broken during inspection anyway?
Locking your bags provides little real security. Airlines generally will not reimburse you for any expensive item missing from your luggage and caution you not to pack anything expensive in luggage that you intend to check.
If thieves want what is in you bag, they will take the luggage, or slash it open to remove the contents. So what does a lock really do?
Alternative locks
If you have hard-shell or oyster-shell luggage and the built in locks break, the best you can do is to carry some wrapping tape, a cloth lock-strap, or a bungee that can loop around the bag to keep it closed.
If you have soft-sided luggage that seals with zippers, you a have a few more "locking" option than are available with hard shell luggage.

North Korea is today one of the last bastions of hard-line Communism. Its leaders have kept a tight grasp on their one-party regime, quashing any nascent opposition movements and sending all suspected dissidents to its brutal concentration camps for "re-education." Kang Chol-hwan is the first survivor of one of these camps to escape and tell his story to the world, documenting the extreme conditions in these gulags and providing a personal insight into life in North Korea.

Yes, I am a Feminist
by Mary DuChene
Women's experience of life is simply different than men's, just as the experience of people of color differs from whites. These differences are not ethereal, based on emotion, but are a fact. Women cannot walk alone at night comfortably. They are overwhelmingly more likely to be the victim of rape. Women and girls cannot be certain that their husbands, fathers, brothers, partners and boyfriends will never hurt them physically. Women are far more likely to live in poverty and to be the sole provider and caregiver for their children. Women are exposed to images of themselves as sexual objects continuously. They must accept that they are judged by most men (and women) they interact with daily; at work, at school and on the street and in terms of their sexual desirability.
Achieving legal equality, which has been the general goal of feminism since the suffragettes, will have no effect on these unjust facts of life. Women often defend themselves against the charge of "feminist"by asserting they are only looking for equality. Equality will not change any of the things that are deeply hurtful about being female in this culture.
No law silences women. This has not been necessary, for women are previously silenced in society by sexual abuse, by not being heard, by not being believed, by poverty, by illiteracy, by a language that provides only unspeakable vocabulary for their most formative traumas, by a publishing industry that virtually guarantees that if they ever find a voice it leaves no trace in the world... So long as men dominate women effectively enough in society without the support of positive law, nothing constitutional can be done about it. (Catherine MacKinnon, Toward a Feminist Theory of the State)
One of my professors put it in this way. "It is like saying that women can play if they can make it on the men's team". While this is literal equality, it also insures very few (if any) women will play, and those who do will have to put up with getting patted on the butt just like everyone else.
In American society, the woman's experience makes her the alien, the other. She must, if she is to be successful, understand and enter into the male experience as much as possible. The most insidious thing about the equality standard is that most women who identify as feminist buy into it wholeheartedly. They agree to their own marginalization.
Ladies, this is not justice.
In terms more day-to-day, equality cannot guarantee a woman freedom from poverty, rape, violence or fear. And if it cannot do that, what is it worth? Indulge me while I insert an example from pop culture here. I'm listening to Ike and Tina Turner as I write this, and it strikes me that in the public sphere, Tina Turner was the equal to any man. The proof was her position as an entertainer. She had more fame than her husband, and that fame generated wealth for her, which in our society is the embodiment of freedom. I'm sure she thought these were things she wanted. But in the end what does legislated equality in earning and recognition of your worth matter if when you go home at night your husband beats the shit out of you and takes all your money? What use is equality when, in Carnegie Hall in front of thousands, a woman sings, "I've been loving you so long, don't know why, but I don't want to stop now", and her husband answers "Cause you ain't ready to die..." and the audience accepts this as an expression of love?
The first thing a woman, or any person placed in the "other" category must do is see themselves as a subject rather than an object. This is a basic human need; all people must go through this process of individuation if they are to have a chance at happiness. Unfortunately if you are a woman, assertion of the self is in opposition to the claims of "reality." When women engage in an independent analysis of their place in the universe and their experience as human beings, their conclusions often run counter to cultural norms. The reality of being female is shockingly unlike the reality of being male.
Why is this surprising, much less threatening?
The standard cultural response to women publishing, broadcasting or teaching their experiences is to vilify and denigrate the women themselves; ignoring what it is they have to say. Typical would be the response of right wing talk radio, that radical feminists are just 'femi-nazis' who need a good fuck.
The core of feminism, (as defined by me), is the process of individuation, of understanding and articulating our experiences as best we can without the filter of dominant culture. This process is apparently offensive to men, and to many women.
I was recently participating in an internet forum for teen moms and former teen moms. The discussion centered around the word 'cunt'. For many women, this is a term which makes them feel powerful, because they choose to use it in the face of society's attempt to either make cute or sterilize their sexual lives. Adopting the term is a feminist issue. At mention of the word, one participant said flatly that she wasn't a feminist, and rejected the word cunt "Because I don't hate men".
Why is act of a woman deciding what the proper word for her own sexual organs considered an act of aggression toward men?
By asserting that we have a distinct reality from the standard (which is male and based on domination) we are, in the eyes of the culture declaring ourselves as the other. Radical feminists who want to go beyond legal equality are seen as destroyers of American society, threats to the American family, and according to Jerry Falwell, responsible (along with gays and lesbians) for a recent incident involving fanatical zealots, planes and tall buildings.
As a young mother I must have represented a serious threat to society, considering the hostile reaction I got for two simple parenting decisions. First, I had a homebirth, with midwives! When I would tell people about my decision, they were aghast. It did not matter to them that my midwives had nearly as much medical education as any doctor, that they had delivered hundreds of babies between them in places as medically primitive as Ethiopia and the Jamaican slums. They were not doctors, therefore they were not competent. I was obviously not fully sane.
Long ago our culture expelled the midwife from legitimate practice and replaced her with the male expert on childbirth. Equally important in the development of civilization was the decision that women simply could not labor in their own homes, they must be removed to an institution created by men and peculiarly unsuited to comfort. One doctor told me I wasn't capable of making the decision to have a homebirth, and that I was putting my child and myself at great risk. The state insurance plan would not pay for my midwife's services, though she was duly educated and licensed. How is this not hostile to women's real experience of labor?
So it is with my breasts. Everyone knows that the function of the breast is to nurse children, yet I heard gasps when I breastfed in public. Breasts are a sexual object to the dominant (male) culture; to a mother they are a source of food for her child. There is nothing erotic about the need to feed a squalling infant, I promise you.
Luckily, American manufacturers have conveniently stepped in with powdered protein and fat in cans to relieve the embarrassment of revealing the breast in public. Bottlefeeding has become the normative experience, preserving the breast for the role most beneficial to men; sexual object.
In order to really seek justice, all experiences must be heard. It seems very simple: there can be no norms or standards. When there are, equality doesn't mean anything because it only protects the freedom to be like the dominant group. When we set men as the standard for women to aspire to, we automatically devalue the experience of being female.
"When we learn to know another's experience, we are forced to feel compassion for them. Without understanding, compassion is impossible. When you understand the suffering of others, you do not have to force yourself to feel compassion, the door of your heart will just naturally open. " - Thich Nhat Hahn

Another Monday, another snippet of insight from the Ghost of Libertarianism Past, Murray Rothbard. This week we take a look back at a clip from a 1989 Rothbard delivered at the 1989 Texas State Libertarian Conference entitled "The Current State of World Affairs". As with many of Rothbard's speeches, this one could have just as easily been delivered today, as the core ideas of libertarianism are consistent over the years, and there has hardly been a libertarian philosopher as consistent as Murray Rothbard.
In this clip, Murray looks into his crystal ball, and accurately predicts the fate of the European Union as it began the move toward one central bank and one currency shared amongst the various economies of the European Union.
Rothbard points out that the press has built up the idea of a European Union as a gigantic "free trade area". Of course this would sound wonderful to most free market advocates if it were actually true. But much like the phony "free trade" agreements like NAFTA, the truth of the European Union is far more insidious. The real point of the EU is to take the central banks of all the nations of Europe and solidify their currencies under one, singular central bank. This of course simply gives one bank more power to inflate the currency, and spread the inflationary effects throughout multiple nations. This punishes more productive wealthier nations like Germany, while allowing smaller economies like Greece to spend beyond their means.
We are seeing the disastrous results of the creation of the creation of the European Central bank in the headlies today. We are also seeing another one of Rothbard's predictions come true, as various European Union nations are being called upon to raise taxes and cut services in their respective countries in order to "fix" the problem. This is like trying to fix a hatchet in the head with a band-aid, and only serves to further impoverish the people of Europe while enriching the central bankers who control the entire scheme.
For those unfamiliar with the Euro and the Euro Crisis, this excellent 10 minute video by Tom Woods serves as an easy summary.

I love risotto. Like, I could eat it every day. A good risotto is a little al dente, with a creamy sauce and a slightly nutty flavor, even though it's made with neither cream nor nuts (usually). Risotto is a delicious, hearty, satisfying dish. Maybe even a little more, according to Seinfeld.
To Stir or not To Stir?
Some recipes for risotto that I use regularly call for the traditional method of standing at the stove and stirring almost constantly for about 25 minutes, adding warm liquid (usually a mixture of broth and water) in half-cup increments. Some people swear that this is the only way to get a creamy consistency from risotto.
But I never really believed this, because a recipe for risotto that I frequently use calls for the "no stir" method, where you add the liquid all at once and lower the heat, letting the risotto simmer for about the same amount of time as it takes with the traditional method, with just an occasional stir. And while I'd never tested the traditional and no-stir methods side by side, I knew that whichever one I used, I ended up with a delicious, creamy dinner.
But I'd been hearing a lot of chatter online about using the Instant Pot to make quicker risotto, and I was intrigued. Could the Instant Pot make something that was not only quicker and easier than either of my methods, but also as good? My rule is that I don't make something in the Instant Pot unless it is as good as (or better than!) traditional methods. I needed to find out if this qualified. I have to admit, I was pretty sure the answer was going to be no. I took my favorite recipe for risotto, which adds some vegetables and cheese at the end, and set off to prove myself wrong.
The Tests
I did two tests using all three methods. I prepped the same amount of ingredients I would normally use to make a big dinner-sized batch of risotto, but divided it in three, using the same exact ingredients for each method, with one exception: each method needed a different amount of liquid.
When using the traditional method I use the most water, because I'm cooking it over medium heat or a little higher, and a lot evaporates. For the no-stir method I use less, since it cooks over a lower flame and loses less to evaporation. I tried using the no-stir amount of liquid in the Instant Pot the first time, and it was just too much. The first Instant Pot batch was a total disappointing dud.Risotto: is all that stirring really necessary? Click To Tweet
Somehow I'd managed to end up with risotto (if you could even call it that) that was too dry/not at all creamy, and mushy at the same time. The rice had soaked up all of the liquid, leaving no sauce, and was completely overcooked. So for the second test I lowered my cooking time from what I was seeing most people use online, and used less liquid. (And I'm not saying that the other recipes out there are wrong – I was trying to adapt MY recipe to THEIR Instant Pot cooking times. Follow their recipes start to finish and you'll probably be fine.)
The results of the second test? Really, really good!
In fact, when I had my husband and daughter do a blind taste test after my second round of cooking, they both picked the Instant Pot risotto as their favorite!! I mean, I'd picked it as my favorite as well, but I don't really count my opinion because I knew which was which.
It's worth noting that all three of them were really good. So if you have a method that you like, use it. And the advantage of using the traditional method is that you can wing it a bit more. With both the no-stir and the Instant Pot methods you're adding all of the liquid at once, so you have to add the right amount. With the traditional method, you can just stop adding liquid when the rice is the perfect texture.If you have an Instant Pot, you can have quick risotto without all that stirring! Click To Tweet
But it's a bit quicker in the Instant Pot, with a good nine or ten minutes where you don't have to pay any attention to it at all, giving you a little time to clean up or put together another dish. And according to our taste test, it has a fuller flavor and better texture. Plus you're not working with an open flame, and since we're approaching hot weather time here in the northeast, that's an added benefit.
I mean, just look at that creaminess. Instant Pot magic.
The Twist
So here's the thing: this post was supposed to be up Tuesday at the latest. I'd done all of the cooking and taste-testing and picture taking last week, I'd written the post and done a bigger batch of risotto in the Instant Pot to confirm amounts and times, and I thought all I had left to do was process the pictures and write up the post and do all of the back-end stuff.
But then yesterday I went in search of confirmation of my theory that the stirring doesn't matter, after having a conversation with a very skeptical friend who believes that the traditional method is the only method. I found this article from one of my absolute favorite food writers, Kenji Lopez-Alt. And holy hell do I wish I'd read this before I did my tests.
What Kenji found in his extensive tests is basically three things: 1) The creaminess comes not from the stirring, but from the starch on the outside of the rice. 2) Toasting the rice makes the flavor better, but the finished product is less creamy. And 3) Heating the liquid first is not necessary.
While I'd been skeptical of the stirring, I'd taken the heating of the liquid as gospel. If you don't have to heat the liquid, you save yourself an extra step (and one dirty pot) that may not be necessary. However, it gets more complicated with the Instant Pot because the temperature of what you put into the Pot affects how long the Pot takes to pressurize (the colder the ingredients, the longer it takes). Would the increased pressurization time with cold liquid affect the finished product in the Instant Pot?
On the other hand, Kenji also gives us an extra step (plus two dirty bowls and a strainer) by first rinsing off the starch from the rice, then toasting the rice, and then adding the starch back in with the cooking liquid. Is that step really worth it? I don't have the most refined palate in the world, to put it mildly. Would I even notice the difference?
After reading all of that, I decided that I needed to do more testing. But after two tries I still don't have the Instant Pot liquid amounts and cooking time right for Kenji's method. Plus, my family is getting really sick of risotto. So I've decided to post my initial results and then do more testing. Consider this phase one.
I've also included a bonus recipe for Shrimp with Lemon and Garlic. If you have a family like mine, with different eating habits, the shrimp is a great accompaniment for this risotto for two reasons. One, it uses two of the same ingredients as the risotto, making prep easier (and if you want to make it really easy, just skip the parsley and you'll have practically no extra prep). And two, it cooks in the exact amount of time that the risotto is being left to its own devices in the Instant Pot! I ate the risotto as made, and my husband and daughter mixed the shrimp into theirs. (My son had a bagel. Don't even get me started.)
For the Newbies
Like my previous three Instant Pot posts, this one is aimed at people who are new to using their IPs, so please excuse the super-specific instructions. Unless you're one of the IP Newbies, in which case, you're welcome! :-)
We're going to be using a function on the Instant Pot today that we haven't used in the three previous recipes: Sauté. The Sauté function is a great way to brown meat and sauté aromatics without having to use a separate pan on the stove. In this recipe we're also going to be using it to toast the rice.
You turn on the sauté function by pressing the "Sauté" button – easy enough! There are three sauté levels: Low, Medium, and High. You can cycle through them by pressing the "Adjust" button, but only immediately after pressing "Sauté." Once you've left it on a temperature level for a few seconds, you need to press "Cancel" and then "Sauté" and "Adjust" all over again to change to another temperature.

|Prep Time
|15 minutes
|Cook Time
|25 minutes
|Passive Time
|9 minutes
4 dinner-sized servings
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 3 shallots sliced thin, about 1/8"
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 1/2 cup Arborio rice
- 3/4 cup white wine
- 2 cups stock
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp butter room temperature
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup shredded or grated parmesan about 2 ounces
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 3 oz baby spinach
- 1 cup peas thawed if necessary
- Boil stock and water in a medium saucepan with a cover on (you don't want it to lose too much to evaporation), then remove from heat and leave covered; alternatively, heat in a microwave-safe bowl to 180-200 degrees, then remove from microwave and cover with tinfoil to keep warm
- Place the metal pot into your Instant Pot and plug the Pot in; add the olive oil
- On your Instant Pot control pad press the Sauté button, which should automatically put the sauté function on "Medium," and press the Adjust button until it is set to "Low"
- Heat the oil until the Instant Pot display reads "Hot"
- Add the shallots and sauté until softening, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes
- Add the garlic and sauté for another minute, stirring constantly
- Press "Cancel" and then press Sauté again - it should now be set to "Medium"
- Add the rice and toast, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes
- Add the wine and stir until absorbed
- Add all of the warm stock/water mixture and stir
- Put the Instant Pot's lid on and turn it clockwise until it's locked
- Make sure that the Pressure Valve is pushed all the way to "Sealing"
- Press the "Manual" button, then press the - button (minus button) until you get down to "6" (most Instant Pots will default to "High Pressure" on the manual setting; if yours doesn't, set it to "High Pressure")
- After a short time the Instant Pot will start automatically and the readout will say "On"
- It should only take a few minutes for the Instant Pot to pressurize, since everything in the pot is warm, then 6 minutes to cook
- When the cooking is done the Instant Pot will beep; press cancel to turn off the warming function
- Do a "quick release" - very carefully, making sure that nothing (including your hand or your face) is above the Pressure Valve, turn the valve from "Sealing" to "Venting"; make sure you're pushing the valve from the side and getting your hand out of the way quickly
- Once the steam has stopped escaping from the Pressure Valve, turn and remove the Instant Pot's lid; the risotto should still be rather wet
- Press the Sauté button (it should be on "Medium") so that the risotto can thicken up a bit as you add the other ingredients; you should press "Cancel" before it gets to the desired consistency, since it will continue cooking and thicken up a bit on its own
- Stir in the butter, lemon juice, and cheese
- Taste and add salt and pepper as necessary
- Stir in the spinach and peas
- Serve immediately
I have the IP Duo 6 Quart, so these instructions are specific to that one, but other versions may be similar.

Uh. You dont want MY answer. (hint: it would read something like "never being born") Hmm, but something I would do different within the last week would be going crazier at the Oilers game! Woo! Or telling that woman behind me to shut the hell up and that no one gives a damn about her shortbread cookies.
hmmmm have to say, the day we looked at our house, wish i had waited and picked another, now the repair bills are running me out of the house.
happiest moment? first time!!!!!!!
Sweet day to relive is a combo day/night. It would be the day my son was born and the first night I met my husband. The absolute most magical and "right" day and night of my life.
My sad moment to relive differently would be making sure I was with my dad when he died. I should have made sure I was there, but I wasn't. I was too scared to be there. I know he forgives me, but it's something I'll always, always regret.
I would go back to November of 1988 and take back one sentence..."Maybe I shouldn't move to Illinois with you then."
It's amazing how one sentence can change a person's life. I don't know if my life would be any better right now, I just know I shouldn't have said those words.
My saddest day that I would go back and change, would be to go back one day and stand up to the guy that made my elementary school life miserable. Teased me horribly and relentlessly about my appearance ( I was awkward as a child, always so tall and a tad chubby when I was young) from kindergarten to 4th grade.
I was a sensitive child. In a way, it toughened me up, but it destroyed my self-esteem in the process.
By a beautiful twist of fate, I saw him again recently, the first time since 4th grade. He's only about 5"6, and 270+ pounds. Even some "adult" acne. Call me a horrible person, but what goes around comes around, huh?
Anyone ever seen "Sliding Doors" (I think that's what it's called) with Gwyneth Paltrow? That movie haunts me when I think of things like this and changing something in time.

Regarding editing reality TV: "You can't edit IN a bad personality." ("Cali"-11/02)
BB8 - A "conveyor belt of human garbage." ("Pono" - 9/07)
You guys are making me cry....
The day I'd relive...that's a hard one because there aren't many I would relive. I think, hmmmm, it would have to be May/June 1996 when I learned to smile because I was finally truly happy for the 1st time in my life. It literally hurt my face and I couldn't stop smiling for a couple months.
The day in my life I'd change if I could, I would have waited until I found a man that truly loved me.

Myers Outstanding Book Award, Gustavus Myers Program for the Study of Bigotry and Human Rights in North Americ
Throughout the human and social sciences, in the writing of fiction and history and music, there is anger about those who speak for others. In the academy women are hired to teach about women, African-Americans are hired to teach about African-Americans. Hispanics about Hispanics. Names like Prakash, Suleri, Mani, Bhabha, not to mention Appadurai, Narayan, Tambiah, Obeyesekere, now dominate where names like Cohn, Singer, Bailey, and Dumont once held sway. Gayatri Spivak denounces the principle that only like can speak on like; knowledge, she says, emerges through difference. But her answer to the question "can men theorize feminism, can whites theorize racism, can the bourgeois theorize revolution?" is "yes but": "it is crucial that members of these groups must be kept vigilant about their assigned subject positions . . ." Her "must be kept vigilant" is ambiguous but has an ominous ring.It would be a truism to state that these changes are not purely academic. Indeed, even in the more everyday world of travel, the writer who registers outrage or shame is different from the one of the days of yore. This difference is clear even when the one who has taken the place of the imperial traveler is a writer like V. S. Naipaul--renamed "V. S. Nightfall" by the Caribbean poet Derek Walcott--whose often contemptuous espousal of the bourgeois Euro-American viewpoint has been severely critiqued by numerous writers. In Naipaul's narrative, exceeding his expression of personal anger or shame in his last book on India is the attempt to delineate the silence of those who have suffered under--and, in fact, have been erased by--the sentence of imperial history.
Rashid grieved for the wholeness of the Lucknow world he had been born into, the world before partition. This world would have had elements of old Muslim glory: the glory of the Kings or Nawabs of Oude, and before them the glory of the Moguls. There was no such glory in my past. Russell's journey from Calcutta to Lucknow lay in part through the districts from which, about 20 to 25 years later, my ancestors migrated to Trinidad, to work on the plantations there.The India that forms the core of Naipaul's concern is described by him as "the lesser India." This was the India "only glancingly referred to, [and] always assumed." Those who made up the lesser India "went on working during this time of war, working in the fields, constructing fortifications, clearing away corpses, looking for positions as servants: an India engaged without ever knowing it, in subduing itself."
Just days away from the comfort of Calcutta, he [Russell] is among people to whom the wider world is unknown; who are without the means of understanding this world; people who after centuries of foreign invasions still cannot protect or defend themselves; people who--Pandy or Sikh, porter or camp--following Hindu merchant--run with high delight to aid the foreigner to overcome his brethren. That idea of "brethren"--an idea so simple to Russell that the word is used by him with clear irony--is very far from the people to whom he applies it.To compound his sense of distress, Naipaul--here identifying himself it would seem as an Indian--writes that the "ambiguity" that the Indian must experience is a part of that feeling of humiliation. After all, had it not been for British rule and the changes it introduced through its institutions of learning, commerce, and government, Indians would not have acquired "a larger idea of human association . . . the ideas of country and pride and historical self-analysis."
The stories of those riots are always the same: tales that grow out of an explosive barrier of symbols--of cities going up in flames because of a cow found dead in a temple or a pig in a mosque; of people killed for wearing a lungi or a dhoti, depending on where they find themselves; of women disembowelled for wearing veils or vermilion, of men dismembered for the state of their foreskins. But I was never able to explain very much of this to Nabeel or anyone else in Nashawy. The fact was that despite the occasional storms and turbulence their country had seen, despite even the wars that some of them had fought in, theirs was a world that was far gentler, far less violent, very much more humane and innocent than mine.The name that Ghosh gives to the reality--or, at least, the possibility--of travel and historical understanding is "a world of accommodation." When the young writer and a village Imam get into a fight about the West and its advanced status in terms of "guns and tanks and bombs," and then both make claims about India's and Egypt's respective prowess in this regard, Ghosh confesses that he feels crushed because their heated exchange has most indelibly announced an end to that world of accommodation:
I could not have expected them to understand an Indian's terror of symbols.
[I]t seemed to me that the Imam and I had participated in our own final defeat, in the dissolution of the centuries of dialogue that had linked us: we had demonstrated the irreversible triumph of the language that has usurped all the others in which people once discussed their differences. We had acknowledged that it was no longer possible to speak, as Ben Yiju or his Slave, or any of the thousands of travellers who had crossed the Indian Ocean in the Middle Ages might have done.But the postcolonial writer need not blame himself here. It is not his debate with the Imam but the might of U.S. armed forces supported by most of the Western nations that rubs out, at the end of Ghosh's narrative, his friend Nabeel--lost among the countless migrant workers in Iraq from countries like Egypt and India, displaced in the desert because of the sudden onset of the Persian Gulf War.

Madeira-native Andrew Benintendi has signed his first professional contract.
After being drafted by the Boston Red Sox as the seventh overall selection in the 2015 Major League Baseball draft, Benintendi put pen to paper on June 30, signing with the club. He was given a signing bonus of $3,590,400, per MLB.com.
He's expected to report to Boston's Single-A short-season affiliate, the Lowell Spinners. Other details of his contract were not disclosed.
Benintendi, who's father Chris is from Georgetown and mother Jill is from Ripley, had a monster 2015 college baseball season for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
The 20-year-old led the Razorbacks to the College World Series and on a personal level, he took home the Golden Spikes Award and the Dick Howser Trophy, he was named the national player of the year by Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball, and he was named player of the year by the Southeastern Conference.
In the 2015 season, Benintendi dominated the SEC at the plate. In 65 games, he had a .376 batting average to go with 20 home runs, 57 RBIs, 50 walks, 13 doubles, two triples, and 24 steals. He became the first player in school history and the first college player since 2009 to have a season with 20 home runs and 20 steals.
The sophomore outfielder led the SEC in batting average, home runs, slugging percentage, on-base percentage, and walks.
Those numbers were an outstanding rise from his freshman statistics, where he finished the season with a .276 batting average, one home run, 27 RBIs, and 24 walks.
The Razorbacks fell to the eventual national champion, Virginia, in their first College World Series matchup before losing to the University of Miami in the losers bracket to end their 2015 season.
The Lowell Spinners play in the 14-team New York-Penn league that spans from Northeast Ohio in the west and Massachusetts in the east. The Spinners' season began on June 19 and goes through September 7.

Shopping for fun
With few spaces available as platforms for popular culture, fashion and lifestyle stores are stepping in, wooing youngsters with concerts, stand-up comedy acts and workshops. Humaira Ansari writes.mumbai Updated: Dec 30, 2012 02:11 IST
At 9 pm on a Wednesday earlier this month, hundreds of youngsters rushed past a large glass façade, made their way past mannequins and racks full of designer clothes, grabbed a complimentary pint of beer at a pop-up bar and settled in to watch live performances by indie musicians Karsh Kale, Benny Dayal and Shilpa Rao and Bollywood composers Salim and Sulaiman Merchant.
The venue, though, was not Blue Frog or even a neighbourhood restobar. It was the Linking Road retail outlet Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, ONLY.
Once a month, the 1,400-sq-ft store adds some mood lighting and amplifiers, sets up a temporary stage and turns into a concert venue for All Starr Jamm, a concept in which the store and event management firm Cream Events work together to bring in musicians to perform on the second Wednesday of every month.
December's was the seventh edition of All Starr Jamm. With tickets priced at R500 coming with a complimentary beer and a store voucher for R500, the event is seeing numbers grow.
The first edition had 350 attendees; December's had 1,200.
Graphic designer and photographer Alvito Falcon, for instance, has attended three gigs here so far. "I keep coming back because of the good line-up of artists, the reasonable entry fee, friendly bar — and the fact that it is not overcrowded," says the 27-year-old.
For the store, the gigs are a lively, interactive way to reach out to the city's youngsters.
"In a sense, it's technically free," says Vineet Gautam, country head of Bestseller Retail India, the parent company of the three brands. "The idea is to get attendees to buy and try our products in the hope that they will like them and come back."
In a city starved of cultural spaces, a number of fashion, furniture and lifestyle stores are beginning to offer their premises as platforms, hoping to draw in new customers via new-age entertainment acts featuring stand-up comics, independent music artists and even workshops on areas of growing interest such as photography and belly-dancing.
"This does mean that hobbies and entertainment are now being consumed in commercial rather than cultural spaces, and many purists might frown at this," says Pankaj Joshi, executive director of the Urban Design Research Institute. "But in developing metros like Mumbai, cultural enhancement is not always linear or black and white. As more consumers become upwardly mobile and get used to a certain lifestyle, markets evolve, and subsequently a city transforms too. It has to. It's only natural."
Adds sociologist Kamala Ganesh: "The lines between what is commercial, what is cultural and what is pure entertainment have blurred. This has led to the evolution of new activity centres, new spaces for public engagement, especially when it comes to new forms of popular culture such as stand-up comedy and independent music."
It started with sponsors' advertisements at gigs, then spread to restobars acting as hosts, drawing in more diners with the promise of 'free' entertainment.
"This is the next step," says Ganesh. "Just as you encounter brand names of sponsors on tickets, now people are stepping into retail spaces and experiencing live entertainment in the midst of merchandise."

Microsoft board of directors recommends Gates and Ballmer for re-election
Some Microsoft investors might not be happy with the idea of Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer continuing to guide Microsoft after retiring from the CEO role, but it seems likely that both will continue to do just that. On November 19th, company shareholders will vote on the new board of directors, and today the board has recommended that both Gates and Ballmer be re-elected to their positions there. Gates has served on the board of directors since 1981, and is presently the company's largest individual shareholder with 4.52 percent of the company's stock. Ballmer joined the board in 2000 when he became CEO, and holds 3.99 percent. All other directors hold less than 1 percent of the company at present, though investment firm BlackRock has 5.57 percent. If they stand together, Gates and Ballmer could still wield a substantial amount of power at the company. Hopefully, Microsoft's new direction, whatever it is, will be compatible with their leadership behind the scenes.

A 12 year comparison of MIDAS and IRI 2007 ionospheric Total Electron Content
Chartier, A. T., Mitchell, C. N. and Jackson, D. R., 2012. A 12 year comparison of MIDAS and IRI 2007 ionospheric Total Electron Content. Advances in Space Research, 49 (9), pp. 1348-1355.

Data assimilation in conventional meteorological applications uses measurements in conjunction with a physical model. In the case of the ionised region of the upper atmosphere, the ionosphere, assimilation techniques are much less mature. The empirical model known as the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) could be used to augment data-sparse regions in an ionospheric now-cast and forecast system. In doing so, it is important that it does not introduce systematic biases to the result. Here, the IRI model is compared to ionospheric observations from the Global Positioning System satellites over Europe and North America. Global Positioning System data are processed into hour-to-hour monthly averages of vertical Total Electron Content using a tomographic technique. A period of twelve years, from January 1998 to December 2009, is analysed in order to capture variations over the whole solar cycle. The study shows that the IRI model underestimates Total Electron Content in the daytime at solar maximum by up to 37% compared to the monthly average of GPS tomographic images, with the greatest differences occurring at the equinox. IRI shows good agreement at other times. Errors in TEC are likely due to peak height and density inaccuracies. IRI is therefore a suitable model for specification of monthly averages of Total Electron Content and can be used to initialise a data assimilation process at times away from solar maximum. It may be necessary to correct for systematic deviations from IRI at solar maximum, and to incorporate error estimation into a data assimilation scheme.
