Last week I wrote about a silly Twitter exchange between Xbox support and a prankster that pretended to have an issue with an Xbox when in fact he had a PS2. Someone suggested that I look at Xbox support's favstar, which is a service that tracks a Twitter user's 'favorites' with that account. Turns out, trolling Xbox support is very much a 'thing,' and not just on Twitter.
The video above by YouTube user EzzentialTechh, for example, is a long convomasation conversation where a caller keeps trying to get an Xbox support to say that Kinects don't work as well with darker skin colours. It seems that supports aren't allowed to hang up, so this conversation gets drawn out for 20 minutes — and the troll goes from trying to 'troubleshoot' his Kinect from a car, to trying to seduce the support, to then pulling out a bunch of different racist caricatures. Kind of wondering if it's fake, actually! If it is fake, it's still ridiculous.
On Twitter, meanwhile, here are a few more amusing exchanges between Xbox support and silly folk.
(What did the original Tweet ask, I wonder?)
(Based, for those of you that don't know.)
And if you're wondering...

PALM BAY, FL - Today Hospice of Health First announced the appointment of a new Medical Director for the William Childs Hospice House. Dr. Ruddy Ruiz assumes responsibility February 1, 2011.
Dr. Ruiz, a Board Certified internal medicine physician, recently was certified in hospice and palliative care by the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Ruiz completed his residency at University of Illinois Hospital following graduation from Universidad Central del Caribe Medical School in Puerto Rico. He has been a practicing physician in Brevard County since 1996.
The American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine was formed in 1995 to establish and measure the level of knowledge, attitudes, and skills required for certification of physicians practicing Hospice and Palliative Medicine. Ruiz is one of only a select group of physicians in our county to receive this distinction.
"We are excited to welcome Dr. Ruiz to our hospice interdisciplinary team," said Roberta Van Dusen, executive director of Hospice of Health First, "and look forward to working with him at the William Childs Hospice House. His hospice and palliative care knowledge will complement the skill set of our professional clinicians providing additional expertise as Hospice of Health First delivers the highest quality of care for our patients and caregivers."
Also continuing to provide care and guidance at the William Childs Hospice House will be Dr. David Norris, a Health First Physician, who will continue his involvement in Hospice of Health First following several months as interim medical director.
A program of Hospice of Health First, the William Childs Hospice House is a free-standing 16-bed inpatient Hospice facility for patients who require more intensive, skilled nursing care and symptom management in a medical setting. Under the direction of a full-time medical director, the staff of the Hospice House includes registered nurses, social workers, bereavement counselors, clergy, hospice aides, and a devoted group of specially trained volunteers.

At memorials and in their schools, homes, and places of work across the country on Wednesday morning, Americans paused to remember those lost in the Sept. 11 attacks that shook the nation 12 years ago.
At 8:46 a.m. EST, crowds gathered at the site of the Twin Towers in New York City observed a moment of silence marking when the first plane crashed in the city's downtown. President Barack Obama joined by the Vice President and First Lady also marked the moment on the lawn of the White House.
The president later observed a moment of silence at the Pentagon to mark the time at which Flight 77 struck the building, joined by Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.
(Read more: )
"We pray for you, their families, who have known the awful depths of loss," the president said outside the Pentagon. "Let us have the confidence and the values that make us Americans, which we must never lose."
"We remember each of those taken from us," Hagel said. "We remember them as individuals with their own stories. We comfort the loved ones they left behind who still mourn and grieve despite the passage of time."
Other officials and politicians paid tribute to those who lost their lives at ceremonies in the nation's capital.

"The events of September the 11th, 2001, transformed our entire nation and touched each of our lives," Attorney General Eric Holder said in leading Department of Justice staff members in a moment of silence.
Secretary of State John Kerry said in a letter to employees that the memories of the Sept. 11 attacks make the day "like none other," and referenced the attacks on the American consulate in Libya a year ago.
"We pause to remember those we've lost and their families, and when we see their friends in the hall, we ask how they're doing," Kerry said in the letter. "My hope is that as we remember our fallen colleagues from both September 11s and all the other sad days, we never forget the reason we do what we do. And though we can't inscribe all their names on a memorial, we also cannot forget the families and loved ones of those who serve and sacrifice in faraway places."
Pipes and drums played at the memorial in New York after the moment of silence, before friends and family members of those who lost their lives read the names of the deceased. A stage honor guard was made up of members of the New York City fire department and police department as well as the Port Authority police department.
For the first responders who rushed toward the World Trade Center12 years ago, the memories of rushing toward the nearly unimaginable tragedy remain strong.
"It's always very difficult this time of year. It brings back somber feelings, time to reflect on your own life," firefighter John Morabito told the TODAY Show on Wednesday. The nationwide memorials help him get through, he said.
"It's extremely powerful, it's an extremely powerful feeling that everyone's thoughts today are on the firefighters and on the rescue workers and on the people, and what we went through in New York City. I was so proud of New Yorkers," Morabito said.
On Tuesday, workers in Shanksville, Penn., broke ground on the Flight 93 National Memorial, beginning construction on the 6,800-square-foot visitor center that will tell the story of Flight 93. Four hijackers turned the plane toward Washington, D.C., likely targeting the U.S. Capitol building, before passengers and crew stormed the cockpit and tried to regain control. The plane crashed into a field and everyone on board was killed.
"Because of the quick and determined actions of the passengers and crew, Flight 93 was the only one of the four hijacked aircraft that failed to reach the terrorists' intended target that day," the National Park Service wrote on its website. "The passengers and crew showed unity, courage, and defiance in the face of adversity."
Organizers announced Tuesday they had raised $40 million, which gave them the green light on the memorial for the 40 passengers and crew members killed. It will include a plaza, a wall of names, memorial groves and a field of honor. The names of the deceased will be read at an observance ceremony Wednesday at 10:03 a.m., when Flight 93 crashed.
The town of Westfield, N.J., planned to hold its annual "We Will Never Forget" ceremony on Wednesday evening to commemorate the 12 residents who died on 9/11. Towns across Connecticut held ceremonies scheduled throughout the day, and Gov. Dannel Malloy declared Wednesday "Honor our Heroes and Remembrance Day."

Until you've been to CES, it's hard to appreciate how immense the exhibition space is. To convey the experience, we fired up a GoPro as we toured the show floor. Here is a a minute and a half of the chaos.
CES is comprised of three separate halls laid out in a row. They are each giant, and it takes a good 20 minutes to get from one end of the show to the other. Trekking about many times over for days at a time takes its toll, and your consciousness becomes a soup of human bodies, 4K TVs, and giddy PR reps.
The high-speed blur of our timelapse video isn't far off from what's its like actually touring the show. The 90 seconds doesn't comprise the entirety of the floor, but it's enough to give an idea of its twists and turns. Here's to next year!

San Antonio's historic missions and beautiful River Walk demand visit
Alamo City also serves up food, shopping in true Tex-Mex style
Sun., April 1, 2012
SAN ANTONIO – This city is known for the Alamo and the River Walk, and rightly so, but don't stop there. The small downtown is packed with interesting sites, and visitors can easily get around by trolley and river taxi. Beyond the city limits, Texas Hill Country beckons those with access to a car.
Step into the past
The Alamo is smack-dab in the center of downtown. Even if you have a car, leave it at your hotel – parking is hard to find. The trolley runs every 10 minutes and costs only $1.10.
Admission to the Alamo is free. For an overview, catch one of the free history talks given in the courtyard daily at 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. For more details, rent a video tour or pay for a battlefield tour.
During their final battle in 1836, the Alamo's defenders holed up in the Long Barrack along the compound's northern wall. That barrack is now a museum. "Here the fighting was brutal and hand-to-hand," said Bob Tschirhart during the history talk.
Although the Alamo is the best-known of San Antonio's Spanish missions, it is just one of five built along the San Antonio River from 1718 to 1749. The other four – Mission Concepcion, Mission San Jose, Mission San Juan and Mission Espada – make up the San Antonio Missions National Park. You can drive, hike or bike among them, or take a public bus. Mission San Jose houses a visitors' center, and all four offer cellphone tours in English and in Spanish. In addition, all four are active Catholic parishes that hold church services.
Back downtown, the San Fernando Cathedral, right off the Main Plaza, is an active church and a historic site. A marble coffin near the door holds the remains of the defenders of the Alamo, including Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie.
The Spanish Governor's Palace is a few blocks away. The structure had its beginnings as a one-room captain's home in 1722. Befitting the times, the doorways are low, although the ceilings are high. Admission is $4.
Hitting the shops
The view from the back garden of the Governor's Palace through a store window led me to the most interesting shop I found in San Antonio. Marti's, 301 W. Commerce St., imports artisan jewelry, designer fashion and décor from Mexico. A multicolored floor-length halter dress made by Armando Mafud was spectacular – and $2,500.
La Villita, the city's first neighborhood, is nearby on the south bank of the San Antonio River. Most of the neighborhood's historic homes now hold shops and art galleries. The River Art Group, operated by a cooperative, displayed several small, inexpensive paintings of San Antonio that would make good souvenirs.
For even more shopping and dining, check out Market Square, also called El Mercado. Shops and vendors offer any knickknack you might be looking for – and a few you never knew existed.
The River Walk
La Villita and El Mercado are dotted with restaurants, but a better selection is on the River Walk, a five-mile stretch of the San Antonio River bordered by sidewalks and crisscrossed with bridges. The center portion of the River Walk is crowded with restaurants, bars and hotels. Strolling mariachi bands fill the evenings with music. One branch of the River Walk leads to the Rivercenter Mall; another goes to the San Antonio Museum of Art and the old Pearl Brewery complex, now home to the newest campus of the Culinary Institute of America and a handful of restaurants.
You can take a walking tour or a 45-minute tour by water. Or hop in a water taxi for a quick trip and a scenic cruise.
Cooking – and eating
The CIA, as the culinary institute is known, conducts free public tours on Thursday afternoons. The campus is small and my tour lasted only 15 minutes; those who'd like to spend more time can take one-day cooking classes or multiday cooking boot camps. Those who'd like to sample the fare of CIA grads have their pick of several restaurants.
I had lunch at La Gloria, a Mexican restaurant. The food was delicious, hearty and inexpensive.
I also stopped for coffee in CIA Bakery Cafe. Professional bakers work at night in the school's pastry kitchen, turning out masterful creations, such as the Monte Alban Oaxaca MX, a tiered hazelnut-chocolate confection that was a bargain at $3.79.
I ventured outside downtown for two more Tex-Mex meals. Breakfast tacos are a San Antonio standard. A friend recommended Panchito's, 4100 McCullough Ave. The special taco, scrambled eggs with chorizo, potatoes and beans, was $1.59.
My friend also introduced me to the bean burger, also called the tostado burger, another San Antonio specialty. She sent me to Chris Madrid's, 1900 Blanco Road, for a griddled quarter-pound beef patty augmented with a scoop of refried beans, a scattering of fresh onions, a handful of tortilla chips and a slice of cheese, all contained (barely) between two halves of a bun. Every meal needs vegetables, so I added a scoop of chile-studded pico de gallo. The fries are hand-cut, but I passed in favor of that other Texas classic, a bottle of Shiner Bock beer.
There's no shortage of fine dining in San Antonio, either. When chef Mark Bliss opened a restaurant a few weeks ago at 926 South Presa St., the name he and the restaurant share proved to be prophetic. A meal at Bliss was, indeed … blissful. My scallops and grits upped the ante on the shrimp-and-grits trend and won hands down.
On another night, I planned to have dinner at Boudro's, but it was jammed (as was the rest of the River Walk), and I didn't want to wait 1 1/2 hours for a table. I went instead to Zinc, Boudro's sister restaurant, just off the River Walk.
Like Boudro's, Zinc is known for its prickly pear margarita – what looks and tastes like a good, but standard, frozen margarita, topped with a swirl of dark pink prickly pear cactus juice. The guacamole, prepared tableside, is chunky with onions, chiles, cilantro and the best-tasting tomato I've had in months.
On my way out of town I stopped for a quick lunch at Barbecue Station, 1610 N.E. Loop 410, just a few miles from the airport. This is a real barbecue joint, housed in a former gasoline station.
Texas is beef country, and I ordered the brisket, which hit that sweet spot of smokiness and moistness, with a burgundy smoke ring and crusty black exterior. I also had a link of Texas-made sausage, housemade creamed corn and all-I-could-eat pinto beans (and after devouring the meat, I couldn't eat much). Then I headed for the airport, slightly perfumed with smoke from the barbecue pit.

Alan's Wake: Remedy Too Teeny For PC
This broke on Friday, but worth bringing up here, I think. Remember the wide-spread eye-rolling provoked by the ludicrous piece of marketing gibberish that the atmospheric horror game basically wouldn't work on the PC due to a lack of sofa-magic or something? Well, Remedy's Oskari Häkkinen tells VG247 that's more of a preference thing, and the real reason is that they're a small 50-person company and don't really have the staff to do both at once, at least well. They'll sit down with Microsoft afterwards. My take? Expect to see Alan Wake PC six months to a year after the 360 release. They'll want to maximise its console-exclusive potential then consider a port.

My 2-day crash course in all restaurants Casey Lane was a bit of an accident. I scheduled a business brunch at Tasting Kitchen on Venice's Abbott Kinney while not realizing that a media lunch at his new, cross-town joint, The Parish, was to take place the next day. But I found no coincidence in the fact that both places serve stellar food – Downtown Los Angeles should be so lucky to receive such an addition by Casey, who brought the concept of farm-to-table to fruition before the term got hackneyed. (Soon, Melrose will get their own dosage in Itri, a pasta shop.)
While I missed the one-month-ago opening since it was during Tales of the Cocktail, I was lucky to have gotten my first taste at a Glenrothes Scotch Whisky lunch. (As this was a special event, The Parish isn't open for lunch – but it seems as though they are aiming for breakfast service in the near future.) What a treat it was to have tasted The Parish's stellar food alongside one of the top three Single Speyside Malts in different vintages: 1998, 1988 and, ultimately, the 1978.
We started out with a Scotch Lace, John Coltharp's variation on a whisky sour, but utilizing Glenrothes Select Reserve with a splash of Rose. It was super refreshing (especially since I had Metro'ed and biked there) without much tartness at all.

The Filibuster
Who should throw out the first pitch if the Nats make the Series?
Washington, DC
In a city known for its hot-winded bureaucracy, I can definitely see this scenario as something DC suits would fight for. I mean, who wouldn't welcome the public relations boost that would come with leading the charge in Washington's first World Series since 1933?
The problem is, I wouldn't want any currently serving politicians out there on the mound. Obama, a clumsily outspoken White Sox fan with an awkward delivery, would not be a good choice considering the pending presidential election and his penchant for wildness. And asking a former president such as George W. Bush, a man who can certainly hold his own on the baseball diamond, would also be a bad choice considering the awful PR that would go with it.
The first pitch in the World Series should be by someone who is just as much a part of the spirit of Nationals baseball as the players and coaches and front office. It should be someone with great leadership skills. Someone who is adored regardless of political affiliation. Someone who is dead.
It should be Teddy Roosevelt.
Since the Expos became the Nationals, fans of this ill-fated franchise have had little to cheer for… except for Teddy Roosevelt. And yet despite leading the charge during the Spanish-American War, despite conquering an elusive elephant whilst on African safari, and despite surviving a bullet shot from John Schrank's gun, the stuffed man still cannot find a way to sit atop the Presidents Race podium.
The very least DC could do is give him the first pitch.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

You guys all know I love Rockstar's Bully, right? I've written at length about how great it is, and how I wish that more games were set in high school. (As an addendum to that article, I am finally (finally!) playing Persona 3 Portable on the Vita, and I am loving the crap out of it.)
Anyhow, this music plays whenever Jimmy hops on a bike, and while there may be more rockin' tunes on the soundtracks, it'll always mean Bully to me. The entire soundtrack, composed by Shawn Lee, is amazing—hopefully if Rockstar makes a sequel, they'll enlist Lee to work on the game.

CRESTVIEW � A tough-minded Niceville High School volleyball team visited Crestview's "Dog Pound" Thursday night for a key District 1-7A match. In what could be a preview of the district tournament championship next month, the Eagles outlasted the Bulldogs taking the match 3-1. The set scores were 25-11, 23-25, 25-14, 25-22.
CRESTVIEW � A tough-minded Niceville High School volleyball team visited Crestview's "Dog Pound" Thursday night for a key District 1-7A match.
In what could be a preview of the district tournament championship next month, the Eagles outlasted the Bulldogs taking the match 3-1. The set scores were 25-11, 23-25, 25-14, 25-22.
The Eagles (11-2) were coming off a hard match with Chiles on Wednesday and Niceville coach John Michael Plummer was satisfied to leave Crestview with the victory.
"My girls are pretty emotionally drained after a big match we had last night so I'm just happy we got out of here with a win," he said. "We will take the next match as it comes."
Niceville never trailed in the first set as Bailey Noon opened things up with a kill and Portia Rogers had a pair of service aces as the Eagles jumped in front 4-0.
A Jasmine Middleton kill for the Bulldogs stopped the early run, but Crestview was never able to get any closer than four points the rest of the set as Niceville pulled away for the win. Ashley Hagood, Jennifer Smith and Breana Rodriguez all played strong in the first set for the Eagles.
The Bulldogs (9-3, 2-2) rally backed to take the second as Middleton was a killing machine hammering home shot after shot to keep scattering the Eagles.
Middleton was far from a one-woman attack though as Brittany Pase and Kierra Potts helped spark the Bulldog attack at the net.
Crestview was able to maintain a slim two point lead throughout most of the set, but Niceville briefly rallied behind the serving of Smith to go up 17-15. The Bulldogs then went on a quick 3-0 run to move in front 18-17.
Niceville was up 23-22 when a Molly Woodward score gave Crestview the serve. Kristen Bufkin was in serve as Nicole Lefevre picked up a kill and Potts a block to give the Bulldogs the win in the set.
The Eagles continued to pressure Crestview the final two sets and often converted Bulldog mistakes to score quick points. Niceville took the lead at 4-3 in the third set and led the rest of the set.
"We ran 55 percent offense and they ran like 90 (percent of the offense)," Crestview coach Kathy Combest said. "When we run 90 (percent of the offense) we beat them because they didn't get anything up that Jazz (Middleton) and Brittany (Pase) hit.
"Until we can pass the ball to the setter we are not going to win. Every time, we have to pass the ball to the setter. Our blockers are touching it, but we aren't getting our defense covering our hitters."
An ace by Middleton gave Crestview an 8-4 in the fourth set. The Eagles clawed their way back into the set taking the lead at 11-10 on kill by Rodriguez.
The teams traded points the rest of the way, but in the end the Eagles were able to hold off the Bulldogs.
Plummer said he wasn't concerned about the possibility of a rematch with the Bulldogs in the district tournament.
"I'm not worried about it," he said. "I'm not worried about it and that's it. I know my team can play a lot better than that and they have.
"It's a good home crowd here so we will have to watch out for that in districts because districts is hosted here (at Crestview)."
It wasn't all bad news for Crestview as the Bulldog freshmen and JV teams won. Crestview won the freshmen match 25-22, 25-17 and the JV match 25-18, 25-21.

For the first time ever, McDonald's is opening a pair of restaurants that will not serve any meat at all, reports Amy Kazmin at the Financial Times.
Both of the restaurants will open next year in India — one in the city of Amritsar (the holiest site in the Sikh religion), and one in the town of Katra (a "jump-off point" for Hindus visiting the mountain shrine of Vaishno Devi.)
The stores will serve the vegetarian items currently sold in Indian McDonald's restaurants, and the chain will likely develop some new items as well.
"A vegetarian store makes absolute sense in the places which are famous as pilgrimage sites," McDonald's India spokesperson Rajesh Kumar Maini told the FT.
It's all because of local preferences. Cows are sacred in India, and much of the country is vegetarian. So the existing McDonald's locations in India don't serve beef, but they do serve lots of chicken in its place.
For instance, there's no Big Mac in India. Instead, stores serve the Maharaja Mac, which has chicken patties. It also sells the Filet-o-Fish, Chicken Nuggets and more non-beef menu items. The two vegetarian locations won't serve any chicken or fish items at all.
Right now, McDonald's has more than 250 restaurants in India — a number it plans to double by the end of 2014.

Detroit Lions coach Jim Schwartz received a contract extension before the 2012 season began, but details of that deal never emerged. Until now.
ESPN reported the extension runs through 2015, per the Detroit Free Press.
That means Schwartz isn't going anywhere, to the dismay of some Lions fans.
Some believe Schwartz should be on the hot seat after the Lions followed their first playoff appearance in 12 years a season ago with a 4-11 record. But Schwartz has brought the Lions back to relevance after the 0-16 season in 2008. And the Ford family is extremely loyal -- some say to a fault. Matt Millen lasted eight years as a general manager in Detroit with a 31-97 record and no winning seasons.
Schwartz will coach the Lions through the 2013 season, at least.

cat's pajamas
Alternative forms[edit]
- cat's pyjamas (UK)
A slang phrase coined by Thomas A. Dorgan. The phrase became popular in the U.S. in the 1920s,[1] along with the bee's knees, the cat's whiskers (possibly from the use of these in radio crystal sets). In the 1920s the word cat was used as a term to describe the unconventional flappers from the jazz era. This was combined with the word pajamas (a relatively new fashion in the 1920s) to form a phrase used to describe something that is the best at what it does, thus making it highly sought and desirable. Similar phrases that didn't endure: the eel's ankle, the elephant's instep, and the snake's hip.[2]
A report in the New York Times[3] of a publicity stunt by an unknown woman in 1922, in which she paraded along 5th Avenue clad in yellow silk pajamas and accompanied by four cats similarly dressed, may indicate the phrase was already current by that date, as the "cat's meow" certainly was.[4]
Audio (AU) (file)
cat's pajamas pl (plural only)
- (idiomatic) A highly sought-after and fancy example of something, usually an inanimate object.
- That new car was really the cat's pajamas.

The phrase is unlikely to originate with this incident however as the words "Cat's pajamas" are used by one of the policemen at the scene when voicing his suspicion that the woman intends to get herself arrested: "Cat's pajamas," mused one of the patrolmen, "Wait a minute, I think there's a publicity scheme afoot."

Wrestling rarely rests
CANASTOTA >> Just two weeks removed from basking in the glow of Zack Zupan winning his second state title, Canastotans were busy Saturday not only wrestling but helping out as the high school was the site of a 400-plus wrestler tournament. The Mohawk Valley Wrestling Club holds some of its practices at Canastota, and Bridgeport resident and wrestling guru Don McGee oversees everything.
"It's one of the best kept secrets in the area," McGee said. "In the wrestling community it's a big deal. Hotels in Canastota and some in Oneida are full. The restaurants do quite well."
The tourney drew teams from a wide area. Almost a dozen club teams from Canada joined teams from Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and the Puerto Rican national girls team in coming to Canastota.
There were also several local wrestlers, including Oneida senior Matt Fisher who picked up a win in his first match.
"It's nice," said Fisher of the event. "It's laid back, no one's yelling or getting screamed at. It's a relaxed atmosphere."
Vernon-Verona-Sherrill senior Kasey Proper also competed but was eliminated after losing two matches.
"I'm not in as good of shape as I want to be in," Proper said. "I've been eating a lot of food."
Like the rugged Dick New Memorial Tournament that Canastota holds every January, Saturday's event featured mats in the main gym and Laidlaw Gym. There were eight in all and the few bleachers that there was room for to be pulled out were crammed with fans.
"It's a good event," said Proper. "You get to wrestle different people from all over the place."
The tournament gives wrestlers from this area a chance to open the freestyle season in their own backyard. They'll get plenty of travel in before summer starts, attending events in Ontario, Niagara Falls and a traveling group will go to Turkey over Easter break.
The wrestling is like what's in the Olympics. Fans saw freestyle Saturday and Greco-Roman was scheduled for Sunday. The styles are different than folkstyle, which high school wrestlers do. Some of the MVWC wrestlers prefer the folkstyle to freestyle or Greco-Roman while others feel the opposite.
"There's a lot less pressure wrestling freestyle," Fisher said. "What I enjoy more, I really don't know. I enjoy wrestling both (freestyle and folkstyle), but I don't like Greco."

Carlson slams WaPo on Menendez
New media in D.C. launched the "scandal." But Washington's old media is busy knocking it down.
When it comes to allegations that Sen. Robert Menendez visited prostitutes in the Dominican Republic, The Daily Caller and The Washington Post are reporting very different versions of what happened — or didn't.
Story Continued Below
And now The Daily Caller, the upstart conservative news website, is lashing out.
( Also on POLITICO: Daily Caller denies WaPo report)
On Friday, The Post reported a local lawyer told Dominican investigators that a man who claimed to work for The Daily Caller said he had been offered $5,000 to find women who would lie and say they had sex for money with Menendez.
And this wasn't the first time the Post has published a story that tries to undercut The Daily Caller's reporting that a top campaign donor provided prostitutes to the New Jersey Democrat while he visited the Dominican Republic, a story that first hit in November 2012, when the Daily Caller released a video of two women alleging that they had been paid for sex with Menendez earlier that year.
Fast forward to February of this year: The Post reported that the FBI had been investigating allegations that the senator had patronized prostitutes but found no evidence to date to support the claim. A few weeks later, the Post published a piece stating that a Dominican prostitute who appeared on a video claiming Menendez paid her for sex said she was actually paid to make up the claims.
The Post initially reported the woman was one whom The Daily Caller had interviewed for its original story, but the paper later revised its story to remove that claim. For its part, the Daily Caller pushed back strongly against the report, saying the woman in The Post's report wasn't one of the two women it had interviewed last November. "The Washington Post mistook one prostitute for another," The Daily Caller wrote.
And now The Daily Caller's editor, Tucker Carlson, said he's had enough.
The Post's reporting, he says, has been "amateurish" and "embarrassing."
"I have no idea what the Post's motives might be," he wrote to POLITICO in an email. "Their reporting on the Menendez story has been amateurish. The breathless piece they ran a few weeks ago about the deposition that one of the prostitutes supposedly signed turned out to be ridiculous. Once we got a copy of the deposition, we found it never ever mentioned The Daily Caller. To this day we haven't been able to find or identify the woman who signed it. She has never surfaced or made any sort of public comment. Does she exist? No clue. The Post doesn't know either, which makes you wonder why they ran the story in the first place."
Asked about Carlson's charges, Washington Post spokeswoman Kris Coratti said the paper's reporting on Friday was "entirely appropriate."
"It was entirely appropriate for The Post to report public statements made by the district attorney who is investigating this matter," Coratti wrote in a statement to POLITICO. "The article reported the allegations neutrally and without assuming their truth, and included the responses of The Daily Caller and Mr. Carlson."

ELMHURST, Ill. - The Elmhurst College
football team improved to 3-0 on the season by defeating the
University of Chicago 31-20 in the Bluejays' home-opening contest
at Langhorst Field.
The victory marked Elmhurst's ninth straight win over the Maroons as the Bluejays finished the non-conference portion of their schedule with an unblemished record for the eighth straight season.The Bluejays' victory also marked the team's 26th straight win in the month of September dating back to the 2002 season.
Elmhurst rolled up 515 yards of total offense, the 12th highest
single-game total in school history. Chicago (2-1) finished with a
423 yards of offense in the loss.
With the game tied at seven early in the second quarter, the Bluejays ripped off 24 straight points to take a commanding 31-7 lead before Chicago tacked on a pair of late fourth quarter touchdowns.
Chicago took the opening drive down to Elmhurst's 22-yard line, but Matt Streit blocked Jeff Sauer's field goal attempt to keep the Maroons of the scoreboard.
Elmhurst strung together a 12-play, 48-yard drive midway through the opening quarter, but J.R. Dalicandro's field goal attempt sailed wide left and the game remained scoreless.
The Maroons marched down field on the strength of a 57-yard run from Francis Adarkwa, but Jon Janus blocked Sauer's 33-yard field goal try to keep the game scoreless.
Elmhurst needed just four plays to find the end zone on its next possession. Joe Furco hit Rodney Payton for a 55-yard completion to give the Bluejays a first-and-goal. On the very next play, Williams scampered into the end zone from seven yards out to give Elmhurst a 7-0 lead.
The Maroons took advantage of an Elmhurst turnover early in the second quarter to knot the score at seven. Danny Polzneczky picked off Furco and returned the ball to the Bluejays' 13-yard line. Two plays later, Adarkwa scored on a two-yard plunge to tie the score.
The tie did not last long, as Elmhurst marched 71 yards on their next drive. Furco connected with Payton on a 24-yard scoring strike to put Elmhurst back on top.
After a Chicago punt, the Bluejays took advantage of a short field and scored in just three plays. Furco hit Williams for a 33-yard completion and then found Sean Seroka for a 13-yard touchdown pass to give Elmhurst a 21-7 lead at the break.
Elmhurst continued its scoring right out of the gate in the second half. The Bluejays moved 70 yards in just four plays to take a 28-7 lead after Williams scored on a two-yard touchdown run. Williams delivered the key play in the drive, bursting through a hole for a 41-yard run to set Elmhurst up at the Maroons' two-yard line.
Elmhurst added a 28-yard field goal from Dalicandro late in the quarter to take a 31-7 lead.
Chicago scored on a 24-yard touchdown run from Tommy Parks with less than five minutes to play in the game to pull to within 17 points. After an Elmhurst punt, the Maroons added a score with less than a minute to play when Kevin Shelton hit Dee Brizzolara for a 36-yard score.
Williams recorded his second consecutive game of over 220 total yards to pace the Bluejays' offense. Williams rushed for a game-high 173 yards on 25 carries while scoring a pair of touchdowns. He added three receptions for 50 yards to total 223 yards in the contest.
Furco finished 20-of-30 through the air for 320 yards and pair of touchdowns. Payton hauled in five passes for 124 yards and a score to lead all Elmhurst receivers. Corey Thonn added five receptions for the Bluejays.
Adarkwa led the Maroons with 130 yards rushing on 21 carries. Kevin Shelton and Marshall Oium combined to finish 24-of-45 for 253 yards and a touchdown. Brizzolara was the top target for the Maroons, hauling in 12 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown.
Jamall Lane led Elmhurst's defense with a game-high 10 tackles (nine solo). Randy Wright recorded nine tackles and a sack for the Bluejays while Wayne Tuckson finished with seven stops.
Elmhurst takes next week off before beginning CCIW play on October 2, by traveling to North Park University.

Normally, each week I pull a post from the past to highlight again. This week, I'm pulling three of them. They were all part of a series I did on Cheap Tips...
- Cheap Tips #1… Getting Ready to Sell
- Cheap Tips #2… Tip-Top Shape in 5 Steps
- Cheap Tips #3… Making a First Impression in 6 Steps
It has never been more important to make sure your house shows as well as possible. And for most sellers that I deal with (spelled n-o-t b-a-n-k-s), they don't have a bottomless pit of cash to spend while getting ready to sell their home. Finding efficient and inexpensive ways to make their home look WAY better than the foreclosure up the street are priorities. It doesn't matter if you are hiring an agent selling unrepresented (FSBO or For Sale By Owner), these tips will help out. Check out the posts from last year and feel free to drop some of your own tips in the comments.

Many mobile and tablet apps inherently make a promise: this program can fill a void laptops can't. Developers have made professionally-oriented products for the iPad for almost two years, but how far have we come? Is there really a place for the iPad in a content creative pro's toolbox? And what limitations can we expect from trying to make a tablet do a laptop's job?
I set out to find a balance of utilitarian and innovative apps that fit into professional workflows within photography, video, and 3D. Hopefully this provides a glimpse of how developers are using iOS with creative professionals in mind, and can help assess these attempts are successful or not. Note that because of this broad scope, I didn't fully review every product and did not work with any anti-Android intent. iOS still dominates this particular professional software field and made the most sense to cover, though some of these apps are dual-platform.
Everyone's heard of Instagram by now. This photo-taking and sharing app is immensely popular, and it's interesting how this one app singlehandedly made film-simulating color LUTs (look-up tables) a mainstream feature. There are now countless photo- and video-grading iOS apps putting some great tools in non-techie hands. HDR apps and panorama tools have become similarly ubiquitous. But some apps stand out in the iOS photography category as viable professional tools.
Price: $2.99
In the less ambitious end of the photographer's tools is PhotoCalc. There are many convenient little light meter apps using your phone or iPad camera to calculate proper exposure. This app's developer (Adair Systems) was smart to not attempting to replace a tool professionals already have better versions of.
PhotoCalc is instead a multi-purpose photographer's assistant. Pick your camera model, lens focal length, and exposure settings, then PhotoCalc shows the focus depth, circle of confusion size, near and far limit, etc:
The sunrise tool uses location-awareness to show daylight information relevant to photographers looking to use natural light:
The Flash Exposure panel shows optimal subject distance for your ISO/Aperture/Flash Power, taking out the guesswork. It's even got a glossary of terms for those self-taught prosumers who may not know some of the more esoteric jargon. PhotoCalc is one of those apps that's not flashy with its features. It's just a well thought out pocket workhorse for photographers who need reliable, accurate values while working in the field. It can be an invaluable tool for many photographers.
Sun Seeker: 3D Augmented Reality Viewer
Price: $4.99
This augmented reality app taps into the camera, GPS, accelerometer, and compass in iOS devices to give photographers and cinematographers a more visual version of PhotoCalc's sunrise tool. It overlays sun tracking info over your camera image to present a clear picture of how you can utilize light now and in the not-too-distant future:
The overhead maps feature works similarly but overlays light information on Google map satellite pics:
It's not a replacement for something like PhotoCalc but its creative visualization of publicly-available information makes it into a powerful tool.
Phase One's Capture Pilot
Price: Free
Part of the appeal of using an iPad or iPhone to deliver content to clients is their relative ubiquity in creative fields like publishing. Capture Pilot was shown to me by a photographer who uses this frequently with clients. It so obviously filled a gap in production that it became the impetus for this article.
The setup is simple: a photographer is tethered to his machine and running Phase One's Capture One media management and RAW converter, which also runs as a server. Clients then log into the session via Capture Pilot on their iOS device and see photos streamed to them as they are shot. Decisions can be made from afar while the shoot is ongoing and images can be tagged and rated from within the app on the client's end. A set of clients could conceivably be sitting in a boardroom with an iPad and not miss a beat during a shoot of their flagship product.
Some people might dread having clients that closely involved in the creative process but, for art directors and clients, this is a potentially great cost-saving tool. Not having to fly to shoots and say "get the stylist to fix her pant leg" should appeal to many. Photographers can sell this as a service. Having too many people on set can be stressful, especially if the client is there. This effectively involves them while not having an ornery suit pacing around and bumming everyone out. (Plus, more sushi for me, the art director).
Capture Pilot is now free, which makes sense as Phase One is selling its desktop RAW software and this is the killer app to sell that big-ticket item. There is an optional Camera Control feature, which remotely controls your camera with an add-on available as a $14.99 in-app purchase. This, like onOne's DSLR Camera Remote HD, gives you a nice big iPad interface to your camera's settings. Since tethering requires little in the way of hardware capabilities, it's another smart combination of a tablet with photography. Free up your laptop or desktop to do the real work.
Price: $17.99
Photosmith was another app that made waves with serious photographers looking to the iPad for more than slideshows. With the Apple iOS camera connection kit, users transfer shots to the iPad and Photosmith takes care of the rest. You can tag metadata and, since it's aimed at professionals, it handles both JPEG and RAW formats. Trying to process a 20-megapixel RAW file on tablet would be a painful venture, so Photosmith's desktop plug-in interfaces with Adobe Lightroom, transferring images with the metadata tags to your computer for processing:
The only current caveat to the Lightroom plug-in: image syncing is a one-way street. Version 2 of the Photosmith plug-in adds two-way syncing so users can keep their iPad's and computer's image libraries synchronized. Stability issues aside—the current version really likes to crash on my first-gen iPad—this is a great app for photographers who don't want to travel with a computer, but want to back up images and do a bit of work at the same time.
Next up: Film and video iOS tools

In light of 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick taking the NFL by storm the past week, it seems reasonable that the Raiders might consider taking a look at second-year quarterback Terrelle Pryor at some point.
Unquestioned starter Carson Palmer is way down the list of things Raiders coach Dennis Allen has to worry about, even though people are quick to blame Palmer for the team's 3-8 record.
Yet, Allen said Monday that he and his coaches have "discussed" the possibility of taking a look at Pryor in some capacity. It's unclear whether that might be at quarterback or in some kind of special package that takes advantage of Pryor's impressive combination of size, speed and elusiveness.
"He's working to get better and he's working to improve," Allen said of Pryor. "I've seen improvement in Terrelle. He's gotten better as a quarterback. He's continued to work. I don't think any of us feel like he's the finished product, including himself, but he has worked to improve."
Pryor wasn't available for comment Monday.
Pryor hasn't been active for any of Oakland's first 11 games. He has yet to attempt a pass in a regular-season game since he joined the Raiders before the 2011 season.
He showed glimpses of what he can do at quarterback during some of the Raiders exhibition games, both with his feet and his strong arm.
Palmer turns 33 on Dec. 27, and he is under contract through 2016. He has passed for 3,181 yards and is within reach of Rich Gannon's single-season record (4,689 in 2002).
Before long, though, the Raiders need to decide whether Pryor is worthy of being Palmer's successor or if there's some way to use him other than as the full-time quarterback.
— Allen said he is hopeful of running backs Darren McFadden (ankle) and Mike Goodson (ankle) and defensive tackle Richard Seymour (hamstring) returning to practice this week. All three players missed the past three games.
— Allen and his coaches will continue to look at ways to get things turned around in the face of four straight losses.
That process will continue in earnest Tuesday in advance of the first practice for the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns.
"We got to look at any options," Allen said. "Again, we're all accountable to getting this thing corrected and getting it done right. Players and coaches, we've all got to be held accountable. We've got a standard that we uphold ourselves to and we haven't lived up to that standard yet."
Defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said he is having a hard time comprehending how the Raiders went from 8-8 and one win shy of the AFC West title last season to a team that is floundering.
"It's been mind-blowing," Kelly said. "I would have never, in my wildest dreams, thought we would be 3-8 right now."
When asked the reason why, Kelly didn't mince words.
"A whole multitude of things," Kelly said. "Defense, offense, special teams, the whole team, as a whole, has not gotten the job done. We just got to play a little better over the last five weeks."
— The Raiders pass defense remains a huge issue, with Bengals second-year quarterback Andy Dalton the latest to have his way against the Raiders.
Dalton completed 16 of 30 passes for 210 yards and three touchdowns, without any interceptions.
Opposing quarterbacks combined for 23 touchdowns and a 101.9 passer rating in 11 games against the Raiders this season. The Raiders are last in the league in both categories, and they are near the bottom in average yards allowed per game and completion percentage.
— Rookie linebacker Kaelin Burnett played four snaps on special teams Sunday, one day after he was signed to the 53-man roster from the Raiders practice squad.
Burnett is the 11th Raiders player to make his NFL debut this season: offensive linemen Tony Bergstrom and Alex Parsons, defensive linemen tackle Christo Bilukidi and Jack Crawford, linebackers Miles Burris and Carl Ihenacho, wide receivers Juron Criner and Rod Streater, running back Jeremy Stewart and cornerback Brandian Ross are the others.

Jean Mohr
Jean Mohr was born in Geneva, Switzerland in 1925. He earned a degree in "sciences commerciales" in 1948 and began work at an advertising agency. In 1950, while travelling with the Red Cross to the Middle East, he discovered photography. After briefly studying painting in Paris, Mr Mohr moved back to Geneva in 1952 and worked as a freelance photojournalist. His work was published in several papers and magazines, and he received assignments from the International Labour Organization, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the Red Cross, and UNESCO, among other international organizations.
In 1978, Mr Mohr began working with the writer John Berger, a collaboration that would lead to a series of publications and conferences on the relationship between word and image. In 1984, he received the Prize for Contemporary Photography from the Musée de l'Elysée in Lausanne and in 1988, the city of Geneva Prize for Plastic Arts.
Between 1960 and 1974, Mr Mohr produced a number of photo stories for WHO. He travelled to all of the WHO regions and his work appeared often in the World Health magazine.
The bridge on the Drina: Bosnia and Herzegovina, 1961
The photo essay The bridge on the Drina, by Jean Mohr was inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning poet Ivo Andric's book by the same name, "which tells how the bridge, ever since it was built in the 16th century across the fast-flowing river of Serbia, has contributed to the growth and life of the town of Visegrad." Mr Mohr explored the theme of urbanization: "the growth of towns, suburbs swallowed into city centers, the disappearance of green calm." (World Health, December 1962)
Ill but active: Lao People's Democratic Republic, 1968
For this photo report, Jean Mohr visited the Mahosot hospital in Vientiane. He photographed the variety of physical therapy and rehabilitation programmes aimed to allow patients to make the transition back to independent life. His images were published in 1968 under the title Infirmes mais actifs.

Feynman's Path to Nanotech (part 6): Open Questions
Taking Feynman's Path to nanotech, or even studying it seriously, would require finding answers to a number of open questions. These questions, however, are quite important and knowing the answers will be invaluable in understanding the envelope of possibilities for future manufacturing technology…

Feynman's Path to Nanotech (part 3) - Self-replicating Machines
So why hasn't the Feynman Path been attempted, or at least studied and analyzed? One possible reason is that there still seems to be a "giggle factor" associated with the notion of a compact, macroscale, self-replicating machine using standard fabrication and assembly techniques. Although studied in the abstract since von Neumann, and in physical systems in biology over roughly the same period, kinematic self-replicating machines remain poorly characterized as a field of engineering…

Feynman's Path to Nanotech (part 5) - Is it Worth Starting Now?
Surely, you will say, it would have been wonderful if back in 1959 people had taken Feynman seriously and really tried the Feynman path: we'd have the full-fledged paraphernalia of real, live molecular machinery now, with everything ranging from nanofactories to cell-repair machines…
Surely by the time a Feynman Path, started now, could get to molecular scale, the existing efforts, including the pathways described in the Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems, would have succeeded, leaving us with a relatively useless millimeter-sized system with 10-micron sized parts?

Director Bob Rafelson fulfilled a lifelong dream when he finally received backing to complete Mountains of the Moon. The film recreates the exploratory adventures of 19th century visionaries Sir Richard Burton (Patrick Bergin) and John Henning Speke (Iain Glen). The heart of the film is the effort by Burton and Speke to discover the true source of the Nile river. This occurs well into the film, after several torturous scenes involving the injuries sustained by the protagonists during other expeditions and their growing friendship (which, the film intimates, goes far beyond friendship). Rafaelson's fascination with this story, and his insistence upon painstaking historical accuracy, unfortunately compromises his ability to make an interesting film. There are so many starts and stops during the first half that we sincerely hope Burton and Speke will chuck it all and set up a pub in Bristol or something. What saves Mountains of the Moon is the rapport between its stars and the brilliant, epic-like cinematography of Roger Deakins. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Seattle University set to join WAC after board meetings
SEATTLE — I'm here talking to the guy who raised Washington football from the dead, Steve Sarkisian, and saw The Seattle Times reporting that Denver will likely get another league partner in Seattle University.
The Englewood-based WAC (I still find it odd that it's located in suburban Denver with no Colorado members) has its board of directions meetings Monday and Tuesday in Park City, Utah. The invite will likely come Tuesday.
Seattle's membership would begin in the 2012-13 academic year and bring WAC membership to nine. If you're not keeping score at home, here's the thumbnail on WAC membership: It lost Boise State after last season and will lose Fresno State and Nevada after the 2011-12 season, all to the Mountain West.

2012 Organizing Resolutions: Tackling the Closet
Posted by
Becky |
View all posts by Becky
1 Comment » | Published in Get Organized | 1 Comment
So…last week I gave you five easy-peasy organizational projects to get you back on that new year's resolution wagon. If you skipped that post, go back and dip your toes in with it. Now that February is fast approaching, let's get something a little bit more substantial done. I'll be adding projects each week to keep you on the organizational track.
Today's project is not about color-coding or getting perfectly organized, it's about cleanliness. Hopefully by now you've tackled each little drawer or box one at a time. If not, tackle that. You can do them at a rate of one a day as your project time, then wait for the weekend to tackle the closet cleaning.
You Will Need: Stepladder, featherduster, wipes or cleaning solution and a cloth, the vacuum with attachments. If your closet is carpeted, baking soda, if not, some sort of mop or swiffer getup, wastebasket, shopping bag, notebook, pen.
DwellStudio Baby Storage Bin, $50-100
- Take every last thing out of your closet and put it in another room. Ignore it all for now; make sure you've left yourself a place to sleep tonight in case you run out of steam.
- Grab a feather duster and a stepladder, and to to town, from where the walls hit the ceiling to the light fixture. Work your way from the top to the bottom.
- Grab your cleaning agent of choice, be it vinegar, bleachy wipes or soap and water, and wipe down all your shelves.
- Pick up any detritus like dry cleaning and price tags, cedar balls that have lost their scent, renegade mis-matched socks, etc. and toss it in the wastebasket you've brought into the closet.
- If your vacuum is carpeted, sprinkle it with baking soda; leave for 1/2 hour.
- Regardless of whether or not your closet is carpeted, turn on that vacuum and go to town.
- If the closet is mop-able, you know what to do.
- Grab any extra hangers and/or plastic dry cleaning bags and put them in the shopping bag to recycle next time you go to the dry cleaner's.
- If the mood strikes you, pull out your giveaway container and sort through your clothing – do that whole KEEP/TOSS/GIVEAWAY/REPAIR sorting thing. If you're exhausted from all of that cleaning, forget it, you can sort another day –put everything back in and call it a day!
DESU DESIGN Symbol Coat Rack, $435
Speaking of that sorting day, keep your notebook open with your pen out so that you can sketch out ideas for how to improve your freshly cleaned closet and keep a running list of things you may need to make it happen (new hooks, shoe racks, baskets, scented drawer liners, new lighting, etc.) While you're out shopping for that stuff, pick up some cedar blocks to keep things fresh.
Lights Up! Flush Mount Lamp, starting at $148
Hi, I'm Becky. I live in Atlanta. Besides acting as the Editorial Director here on Hatch, you can find me talking design over at Houzz. Make me happy — leave a comment!

The Benedictine monastery in Ripoll was founded by Count Wilfred "The Hairy" in the 9th century. It soon became a major cultural centre during the High Middle Ages, which is why it continued to be extended up until the 12th century, when it ended up more or less as it looks today. The main feature of the monastery is its Romanesque front façade dating from the 12th century, which is divided into seven horizontal strips, in which Biblical, historical and allegorical scenes are depicted. The inside of the building retains three of its naves where once there were five. The tombs of several counts, including those of Besalú and Barcelona, as well as the tomb of the founder of the building Guifré el Pilós, lie in the transept and central nave walls of the church. The cloister has two levels. Building began in the 12th century, but was then put on hold until the end of the 14th century. The upper gallery was completed in the 16th century.
- Construction: Monastery
- Artistic period: Romanesque
- Historic period: 16th century, 9th century

Everyone understands the charm of food cooked by someone you love. Food is our basic necessity and delicious homemade food adds zest to the pleasure of living the life. So, if you want to groom your home cooking expertise to win the hearts of your family members despite the hectic life, here are few special tips for simple and delicious home cooking.
Cook Smart on Weekdays
It's a fact that weekdays are highly hectic, so cooking something like casseroles, lasagnas, enchiladas and manifold soups during the weekends is great for freezing and they easily retain the original aroma after being heated. It's all about time management to give your loved ones nutritious and tasty food. You can cook an extra lot of dinner whenever feasible and serve it the other day. For extraordinary food preserving techniques, you can contact Le Bouchon restaurant experts who have experienced troop of cooks and food experts.
Using Stocks in Place of Water
Chicken or vegetable stocks can be utilized to cook rice in place of water. An appropriate stock will retain the taste and essential minerals. The time consumption remains the same in this case, so there is nothing to worry about any extra labor or time.
Making the Dream Pie
Is your mom wondering how your neighbor's pie evolves out to be glossy and golden brown whereas yours is pale and dull? Well, there is a secret to get the desired outcome every time. Beat few egg whites and polish it on the pie to enjoy your dream pie.
Keep unflavored dental toothpick
Keep some unflavored dental toothpick in your kitchen. If you need to have a minute cut then use toothpick for its sharpness and small width, which is much more efficient than any sharp kitchen knife.
Maintaining Your Kitchen Items
Proper maintenance of your cooking accessories is highly advisable. For example, ensure to sharpen your kitchen knife on regular basis as a blunt knife is useless. Always purchase a kitchen knife with broad blade with a firm grip so as to give you a higher command over chopping.
Follow the Basics When Guest Arrive
When there are guests at home, always try to keep things simple with multiple varieties, which is the thumb rule for cooking. Never complicate your meal by trying out new things. While chopping, we all might face a trouble of the herbs being scattered over the place, making the area messy. So, to avoid this you can put pinches of salt on the chopping plate and go on.
Don't Try Online Recipes Blindly
Often people try searching exquisite recipes on the internet to present their family with a surprise, but unfortunately it may convert into a nightmare, so try the basic and conventional items that your family is being served since years. Sometimes, your hands-on experience in preparing traditional dishes is enough to make you the star of your home. Avoid extra spices to debar any health risks. Le Bouchon restaurant cooking practices preach the best ways to make the food healthy and delicious without spices.
Last but not the least, remember that "practice makes a man perfect", so more you cook more diligence you gain; keep on cooking good food and earn smiles from the one you love.

PurpleOcean wrote:P.S.: What sources do you use to do the writing? I've been searching on the internet and I found so many different alphabeth's, so many different rules.. From what I heard, Tolkien changed his mind quite some times, so I assume that's the reason for all the different alphabeth's and rules..
And so I was wondering, where did you found your info?
The main reason I want this to be written by someone else, is because of the word "change".. I tried to translate this sentence myself, and most of the words I found out how to write it, even with all the different rules, most of the times it comes down to same.. But the word "change" has two sounds which I don't know how to write.. "ch" and "nge".. On most alphabeth's I found, the "ch" sound is written the same as the "c" (or 'k') sound, but when searching on this topic, I found out you use two different symbols (correct me if I'm wrong )..
Most of the alphabeth's you find on the internet, aren't complete enough for all different sounds (like that "nge"-sound.. Because I didn't find it in any alphabeth I found, I assume this sound didn't exist in the elvish language???), so how did you find out about that?
