The Seattle Seahawks could add reinforcements in the event kicker Steven Hauschka is unavailable for this Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
ESPN's Ed Werder reported Monday that the Seahawks will bring in free agents Ryan Longwell, Neil Rackers and others for tryouts this week. According to The Associated Press, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said the team would try out kickers Tuesday, although he didn't name them.
a path to championship weekend for each surviving playoff team. More ...
Hauschka suffered a left calf injury during the first half of Sunday's 24-14 wild-card win over the Washington Redskins. He left the game briefly before returning with a noticeable limp.
Carroll credited Hauschka for fighting through the issue Sunday but said the kicker's condition was unclear. Punter Jon Ryan was forced into kickoff duties, a scenario we're sure Carroll would not like to repeat.
Hauschka has made 27 of 30 field-goal attempts this season, including 3 of 3 on Sunday. He does have the advantage of the Seahawks traveling to the climate-controlled Georgia Dome next week.

Any day now, the Obama Administration will adopt the latest mileage targets for passenger cars and trucks sold in America: an average 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by the year 2025.
U.S. automakers are not just sitting around waiting for the official announcement, nor are they waiting 13 years to start delivering gas-sipping vehicles. Under the previously adopted 2012–2016 standards, they are already offering buyers a wider selection of more fuel-efficient vehicles than ever before.
Automakers and suppliers recognize that better fuel economy equals better sales, better profits and more jobs. Their recent hires and investments reflect this:
- Ford is accelerating development of its hybrid and electric vehicles by bringing the design and production of key components in-house, a $135 million investment.
- Ford has already doubled the size of its team working on forward-looking energy technologies — over 1,000 engineers and technicians — and plans to double size of that team again by 2015.
- Honda plans to hire 300 more workers next year at its Greensburg, Ind., plant, which is slated to start producing the Civic Hybrid.
- Volkswagen is adding a third shift at its Chattanooga, Tenn., plant, to boost production of its fuel-efficient Passat.
- Continental, a supplier of fuel-efficient turbo chargers to Ford's 2014 Focus, is steadily pursuing electrification technologies and sees them as a "long-term investment."
These represent just a handful of examples of how a shift toward efficiency and advanced technology is driving job creation, investment and innovation across the country.
Top consumer experts back the standards, saying not only that American drivers will benefit financially from more fuel-efficient cars, but also that they want and will buy these higher mileage cars, trucks and SUVs. When July sales numbers were released earlier this month, car company executives observed that consumers paid close attention to the fuel economy of vehicles they purchased. "Fuel economy continues to be a top consumer purchase driver across our lineup," Ken Czubay, Ford's head of sales and marketing in the U.S., told the New York Times.
Both within and outside of the auto sector, the confluence of policy, consumer demand and automaker investment will boost employment and the economy as a whole. As automakers hire the people that will design and build more fuel-efficient vehicles, their efforts will spur both employment and sales. At the same time, a significant share of consumer spending will shift from fuel to a wider range of goods and services, spreading shared benefits across the economy.
A Ceres commissioned report, More Jobs Per Gallon, produced by independent analyst Management Information Systems Inc. found that the 54.5-mpg rule would create nearly 484,000 new jobs nationwide and over 43,000 jobs in the auto sector. Another analysis, Fuel Economy Focus: Industry Perspectives on 2020, done in collaboration with Citi Investment Research, found that in 2020, under the new standards, suppliers and automakers — especially the Detroit Three — could expect increased profits and sales.
Automakers — particularly American ones — have been caught flat-footed on fuel efficiency in the past. In 2008, while automakers plodded along with the same old gas-guzzling models as the price at the pump hit record highs, American consumers scrambled for more fuel-efficient vehicles and left the gas-guzzlers to collect dust on the showroom floor.
This time, things are different. Automakers are already working toward achieving the 54.5-mpg standard. They recognize the benefits of a level playing field and of producing a platform that can meet global standards, thereby reducing their fixed costs. Automakers know that offering buyers a wide range of cars and trucks that go farther on a gallon of gas is good for sales and profits in the United States and around the world.
And when the rubber meets the road on the 54.5-mpg standard, they better be ready — or they'll be left behind.
Mindy Lubber is the President of Ceres and Director of the Investor Network on Climate Risk.

The Triumphant Return of Good Machine/
Yes, it is true. Good Machine is back. But in a new and improved form. Perhaps we should have done a press release, but I thought I should do it here instead. Press releases are so yesterday.
If you went to Sundance, perhaps you noticed the secret stealth return of our so-called 90's powerhouse. Or if you were at the Golden Globes, it must have caught your eye. Hell, even if you just watched the Golden Globes. If you missed all that, certainly by perusing the Oscar noms, something should have caused a bit of stir. I've been waiting for some sharp newshound to break with the story, but nope. So here's the real buzz...
The Good Machinists seem to have now taken over indie film. The only difference between back then and now is that like any good thing, Good Machine the company achieved its own obsolescence. The Good Machinists each have their own shop. Call it, the decentralized approach. But look at what Good Machine achieved just this month.
My former assistant and partner, former head of production, Anthony Bregman, nabbed the biggest sale (I think) at Sundance for his production MY IDIOT BROTHER. I haven't checked, but also think he's giving Mr. Rudin chase for the title of Most Prolific Producer (when I asked Ant his secret, he replied "Have four children, and you don't have a choice: you have to produce!"). His credit list also includes recent collaborations with many former Good Machine directors, including Nicole Holofcener and Bob Pulcini & Shari Springer Berman.
Good Machine's 2nd initial hire, and the first employee to enter the producer ranks, Mary Jane Skalski, had one of the best received films of the Sundance fest in her 3rd collaboration with Tom McCarthy, WIN WIN. But why stop there? She was also in the elite club of Sundance twofers, with the fest opener and competition stand out PARIAH, which Mary Jane Executive Produced -- and Focus just announced that they picked up. No rest for the weary, eh?
The whole time Anthony was a partner at This is that, and even some of the time he was at Good Machine, he had one assistant, and a remarkable one at that. With Bregman's new company, Likely Story, Stefanie Azpiazu has taken on Executive Producer duties (what are those exactly, btw?). She holds that credit on Jesse Peretz's MY IDIOT BROTHER, as well as several others, including last year's Sundance opener, PLEASE GIVE (and this year's WGA nominee).
Another former assistant of mine, now the head of hottest international sales company in the entire universe (aka FilmNation), Glen Basner, recently decided to expand his company's portfolio into the specialized arena. Awhile back he told me he had found something that should spark. But I think 12 Oscar nominations for THE KING'S SPEECH is an outright bonfire.
Of course, my fellow Good Machine founder, the legendary erudite Mr. James Schamus, is always expected to do well, and last year -- back before Sundance returned as a sales market -- , he picked up a nice little title in THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, and now has four Oscar noms for his label.
The founder of Good Machine International, David Linde, could well have decided to take some time off after running a studio, but as long as there's great movies to make, I don't think David will be taking a break. Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu may be the most gifted filmmaker out there, but his films are challenges, thankfully. But that means they will never be easy to get made, but luckily he has a Lava Bear on his side. David EP'd this year's entry to my top ten list, BIUTIFUL and yes, as a result has some more Oscar noms to his credit.
Anne Carey, my partner at This is that, did not go to Sundance this year. But that did not stop The Hollywood Reporter from naming her on their Indie Hit List the hottest producer there:
Then: Lawrence Bender
On team Tarantino since Reservoir Dogs, he has also handled Oscar-winning pics like Good Will Hunting and An Inconvenient Truth.
Now: Anne Carey
The former WMA agent toiled at Good Machine before partnering with Ted Hope on pics including Adventureland and The American.
And why not, her tenacity and genius, did yield the "coolest" film of the year in THE AMERICAN, which happened to enjoy the distinction of being the only This is that production to grace the top of the box office charts. (PS. Hey Anne: that wiki needs some updating! And: Hey HRptr: she wasn't an agent, she just worked there!)
Unfortunately, Good Machine can't take credit for WINTER'S BONE, but that won't stop me from trying. After all, Ang Lee's fantastic RIDE WITH THE DEVIL might have been Good Machine's biggest financial flop (despite being a great movie), but it was the first film to be adapted by WINTER BONE's novelist Daniel Woddrell. Okay, it's a stretch but certainly it speaks a tad of our mutual fine taste for the man's prose and stories (even if Ms. Granik has turned down our efforts to work with her!).
Okay, so this does leaves some Good Machinists still unaccounted for, but after winning some Globes last year, Ross Katz is entitled to some time off. Interestingly enough, Ross should take the reigns on a film Bregman is producing and Basner is arranging the financing on; the film, by title only is a mash up of several of our former projects, THE AMATEUR AMERICAN. One of Mr. Schamus' former assistants, Jawal Nga, has been active on the producing front, with last year's Sundance hit HOWL and prior Grand Jury Winner FORTY SHADES OF BLUE to his credit. And of course there's a squad of GMers doing great things behind the scenes too, some that will no doubt start some bonfires of benevolence in short order.
Me? Well I already told you how I spent my Sundance non-vaction a few days ago (I've put a few updates into it if you want to check back) and how inspiring it was for me this year.
All in all, though, I must admit it is pretty swell to see the trees those seeds have sprouted.

The modern dining furniture sets shunned pointless enhancement and put its emphasis on perfect, compositional lines. On the off chance that spotless lines and streamlined styling are your thing, youll adore present day contemporary furniture. Whatever your financial plan, you can make a marvelous space with a couple of key pieces.
Contemporary Style In modern dining furniture sets
From a specific perspective, the plain thing that makes modern dining furniture sets what it is – existing apart from everything else – additionally makes it precarious to bind now and again. Why? Since its continually evolving. By definition. So we should delineate a couple of the characteristics that are, for the occasion, emphatically contemporary.
Maintainability modern dining furniture sets
Environmental change is a difficult issue on a great deal individuals psyches and individuals need to tailor their furniture decisions to mirror a more manageable ethic. This is a major contrast from modern dining furniture sets, which was delivered when manageability wasnt even a thing and commodification was taking off. In any case, now manageability is mainstream and its an esteem that imbues engineering also. Thus, it streams down to modern dining furniture sets. All our strong hardwood furniture meets the most elevated maintainability guidelines. We deliver it in a zero-squander producing office. Furthermore, we regularly reuse and up-cycle old furniture parts from past establishments as interior segments in new modern dining furniture sets.
Solace and Clean Lines modern dining furniture sets
What are some different components of contemporary style? One furniture purveyor, alluding to the downplayed and urban intrigue of contemporary style had this to state about it: modern dining furniture sets has clean lines with delicate edges. Seat legs and arms are basic, either square or round. Upholstery textures are it is possible that one strong shading or have an inconspicuous example. Contemporary tables have nearly nothing if any elaborate carvings. Decorated examples, whenever utilized, are geometric. Upholstered modern dining furniture sets is low to the ground with squared arms.

I think popular but mediocre teams like David and Mary are okay. I'm pretty sure the producers always belief that the race is unpredictable. If Charla and Mirna can make it all the way to the F3, anyone can.In fact, Kevin and Drew also belong to the group of popular (no longer after Allstars) but just mediocre team.I would love for TAR to do an Allstars season once every let's say.. 6 to 7 seasons.. in that way.. we can have at least 2 memorable teams from each season.Some teams i would love to see for now after Allstars (TAR 12 & 13)1. Ronald and Christina2. Kynt and Vyxsin3. Terence and SarahSome teams i would really like to see from previous seasons but didn't make the cut of Allstars 11. Colin and Christie2. Tara and Wil3. Derek and Drew4. Flo and Zach5. Kris and Jon6. Fran and Barry7. Lyn and KarlynMind you.. not all of these teams are my favourites. But i believe will add some sort of intense competition to an Allstars season!
I would not make an exception even for Bill and Tammy Gaghan, who are two of my favorites
Of course I am missing an elderly, all female, and gay team. Can D&O be on TAR for a third time?
I think that these teams should be in the next all-stars (if there is one):1. Blake & Paige2. Jon & Al3. Kami & Karli4. Kris & Jon5. Lena & Kristy6. Brian & Greg7. Peter & Sarah8. Ronald & Christina9. Kynt & Vyxsin10. Azaria & Hendekea11. Toni & Dallas12. Ken & Tina (if they don't win).

The bright reflections of the container Ellipse Extra Ordinary Metal enrich the daily beauty of the home view.
The Extra Ordinary Metal collection combines Alessi's historic production experience with elements of Italian culture, to explore new possible definitions of metal surface. Brass was chosen to interpret, from an industrial point of view, a refined and ancient goldsmith's technique that is the Etruscan Granulation. Obtained through a cold drawing of the brass, it creates a rich interaction with light, a kind of luminous skin capable of exalting both complex shapes and pure, neutral lines. The 'grain' arrangement follows a geometric sequence generated by the succession of Fibonacci, an Italian mathematician who for first translated the golden logic of classical proportions into numbers. This principle, that regulates the balance of Nature, expresses timeless compositional harmony and becomes the extra-ordinary author of this project.
Her artistic practice extends across a range of creative disciplines, from painting, photography and sculpture to sound and object design. Mathematics, geometry, folding, abstraction, colour and form are frequently explored in her work. Alice has undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications in fine art. Alice approaches design from an artistic point of view. In many instances her abstract paintings are the foundation for her product design. Alice's work is represented in public and private collections around the world, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

8 New Cupcake Shops (and Cupcakes) We Love in NYC
There seems to be about a million different types of cupcakes. Chocolate and vanilla. The more creative flavors—and the crazy flavors. The really good ones, and the really bad ones. There are the classic NYC cupcake shops, places like ChikaLicious, Sugar Sweet Sunshine, and Two Little Red Hens; they always remain among our favorites.
But since the last time we checked out the cupcake scene, there have been a great number of developments in the cupcake world. New flavors at favorite bakeries. New chefs at some. And some new bakeries altogether. So today, here are eight cupcake spots that've become favorites since our last crazy tour of cupcakes in the city. (Not all these specialize in cupcakes; at Doughboy Bake Shop and Ivy Bakery, cupcakes are just one of the many things they do well.)
Click on through to find our new favorites, as well as notes on not-to-miss flavors.

Makeup Wars: Color of the Year Emerald Green./
Pantone officially declared Emerald Green as the color of the year. In case you wonder why you are seeing so many fashion items and accessories in green lately, this is why. While the makeup community might be a bit behind (except Sephora because they already have a Sephora + Pantone Universe Emerald Green Collection), many brands have quite a few green products in their regular line. These green products are quickly becoming popular; green nails and green smoky eye looks are popping up everywhere!
While I tried to concentrate on emerald green for my picks, I just couldn't find many products that fit the emerald green description. I like to think of my picks as "emerald-ish" green. When searching my stash, I quickly discovered that I have no emerald green nail polish - or even anything close to it. What I do have though, are quite a few green eye liners and green eye shadows. These are my favorites.
1. MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil - 16L Green
This pencil glides on with a medium yellow green sheen. It's very smooth and lasts until you take it off. $18.00
2. NYX Slide On Pencil - Esmeralda
This silky soft pencil applies very easily making eye lining easy. It feels more like a shadow crayon than a liner, actually. The color is a lighter emerald green with a bit of shine to it. $8.00
3. COVERGIRL Queen Collection Vivid Impact Eyeliiner Pencil - Jade
This intense waterproof liquid pencil is an easy to apply and smudge eyeliner that has a built in smudger. The color is an emerald-teal shade of green. $9.99
4. Anastasia Covet Waterproof Eyeliner - Vert
This thin eyeliner is waterproof and pretty much budge-proof once you apply. Smudging is not really an option, so it has to be applied carefully. The color is a deep smoky moss green. $19.00
5. Clinique Quickliner for Eyes Intense - Intense Ivy
This quickliner is a very precise eyeliner that applies well and smudges easily with the built-in smudger. The shade is a real darkly pigmented ivy green, almost like a black green. $15.00
6. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil - Covet
The pencil formula is one of my favorites as it does just what says; it glides on like butter and lasts all day. In face, you need to use an eye makeup remover to get this long-lasting liner off. The shade is a beautiful emerald green with a bit of silver sheen to it. $19.00
7. MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Liner - 4 Diamond Lagoon Green
This is a waterproof liquid liner that applies easily with the precision brush. Like all of the Aqua products, this one goes on and stays on. The shade is a sparkling bright blue-ish green. $23.00
8. Laura Mercier Kohl Eye Pencil - Antique Jade
This kohl pencil offers a thicker tip and was actually formulated for lining the inner rims of the eyes. I use it as a regular liner and have used this color for years. Antique Jade is a dark, almost khaki green shade. $20.00
1. NARS Duo Eyeshadow - Misfit
As one of my favorite shadow formulas, this eye shadow is super silky, highly pigmented and very long wearing. The shades include an ecru shimmer and a true emerald green shimmer. $34.00
2. Sephora + Pantone Universe Color Theory Shadow Block - Bionic
This shadow trio contains three shades; a true emerald green and two complementary shades. The green actually looks beautiful with the white shimmer and bold blue, which I like to use as a liner. The formula is very silky and lasts all day. $26.00
3. MAKE UP FOR EVER Eye Shadow - 168 Iridescent Lagoon Green
This truly emerald green shade has a bit of soft emerald green shimmer to it. It's a super soft powder that applies beautifully. $20.00
4. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour - Jungle
This creamy eye shadow applies like a dream. It goes on so easily, lasts all day and never creases. I love the different smoky effect this dark olive green gives. $24.00
5. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Eye Shadow - Endless Sea
This super soft velvety formula glides onto lids and lasts through everything. Endless Sea is a pretty teal green with a jewel tone look to it. Not exactly emerald (they do have a golden emerald in the collection) but pretty enough and very wearable to be mentioned. $7.95
6. bareMinerals Prime Time Primer Shadow - Racing Green
Made to be an eye shadow primer to intensify a loose powder shadow look, I like to wear it alone. The creamy formula applies with fingertips and leaves a soft wash of color that adheres to the lid. Racing Green is a shimmery emerald green/gold shade. $12.00
7. Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Super Shimmer - Peacock
This highly pigmented, soft shadow contains beautiful, subtle shimmer in a great soft emerald green shade. I wore this shade or another very similar Clinique shade when I got married. I am sure there was no super shimmer formula then, but the color I remember well. $15.00
8. bareMinerals READY Eyeshadow 2.0 - The Winner Is...
The mineral powder shadows are super silky and long lasting, not to mention good for you with the mineral infused formula. The duo contains Chart Topper, a shimmery gold and Hit Single, a shimmery light emerald green. $20.00
9. Laura Mercier Sateen Eye Colour - St. Germain
This luxurious sateen shadow looks like silk when applied, but feels almost creamy as it is applied. It is easy to blend as it wears well with no creasing all throughout the day. The shade is a light golden emerald green that looks different depending how the light catches it.
10. Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint - Mighty Moss
One of my new favorite shadow formulas in an easy to apply stick comes in this great jeweled dark green shade. The color payoff is soft, hence the tint name, yet beautifully colored and very long-lasting. $16.00
11. bareMinerals Eye Color - Oz
This long lasting, loose mineral powder formula can be applied wet or dry, depending upon the look you want. Oz is a vibrant emerald green. $14.00
12. MAKE UP FOR EVER Aqua Cream - 22 Emerald Green
This super pigmented, long-lasting formula offers a very rich, full on waterproof color. This a golden emerald green shade. $23.00

By 1953, Fritz Lang's career was a rocky road forced to make small studio or independent films one after another. He also spent the last few years clearing himself of accusations, made by the House of Un-American Activities, he was a communist. By the time he signed with second tier Columbia studio the commie accusations had been cleared and Lang was heading toward the final phase of his career in America before heading back to the homeland, Germany.
With Glenn Ford, a poor man's James Stewart, in the lead, Lang was still floating in less than grade A film waters. At this point in his career Ford was mostly making programmers or second features, films like "Plunder in the Sun," "Time Bomb," "The Redhead and the Cowboy," "Framed" and "The Undercover Man" with the occasional more expensive production added in ("Gilda"). Quality varied, some were good, some not, most as mentioned were not "big" pictures. Columbia did not consider, "The Big Heat," a major motion picture.
"The Big Heat" is based on a serialized, in the Saturday Evening Post, novel by William P. McGivern, a novelist (Odds Against Tomorrow, Rogue Cop and Shield for Murder), screenwriter (The Wrecking Crew, Brannigan) and TV writer (Kojack, Adam-12, Banyon) with a screenplay by Sidney Bohem (Side Street, Union Station, Violent Saturday).

In spring of 2012, Station North Arts & Entertainment, Inc. joined forces with Gaia, a resident of Station North and leader in the international street art movement, to produce Open Walls Baltimore. Over the course of two months, an unparalleled outdoor exhibition of twenty three murals and installations created by twenty nine street artists was mounted in Station North Arts & Entertainment District. The Open Walls murals have enlivened public spaces, stimulated community revitalization and national dialogue, and attracted visitors and investors to Station North. Part public art project, part community revitalization strategy, Open Walls Baltimore has brought increased attention, civic pride, and increased investment to the Station North Arts District, its artists and businesses.
In addition to the walls, SNAE produced an array of Open Walls events varying in scale and intended audience: small gatherings for artist talks and community potlucks, walking and bike tours, and Open Walls's grand finale featuring Dan Deacon that attracted 1000 people to a vacant lot in Greenmount West. These public events explored the discourse on public art, mural making and stewardship, the role of art and artists in community development, and promoted the celebratory nature of the project.
The scale and scope of the project garnered major media attention for Open Walls Baltimore and the Station North Arts & Entertainment District as a whole. In addition to being featured in hundreds of blog posts, to date Open Walls Baltimore has been featured in the New York Times, Washington Post, the Huffington Post, Grist, and more. The project won the Best of Baltimore: Best Public Art Project from Baltimore Magazine, and Best of Baltimore: Best Exhibition from Baltimore City Paper.

Flexicon Introduces Multi-Purpose Low Profile Filler
Flexicon's Multi-Purpose Filler dispenses bulk solid materials into boxes, drums and bulk bags, by weight. The unit features a fill head that seals dust-tight against the inlet spout of bulk bags, or connects to transition adapters that seal against open boxes or drums.
The filler uses a patented Twin-Centerpost frame said to maximize strength and improve accessibility to the fill head while simplifying construction and reducing cost. It is mounted on load cells tied into a PLC that controls upstream devices to fill containers at high rate, and then at dribble-feed rate to maximize the number of containers filled per hour. An automated vibratory system raises and vibrates the container deck to deaerate and densify material, stabilizing the container. The low-profile configuration of the filler also allows removal of filled containers using a pallet jack, eliminating the need for a fork truck.
Bulk-bag-filling-related features include manual fill head height adjustment to accommodate all popular bag sizes, pneumatically-retractable bag hooks, an inflatable connector to seal the bag inlet spout, and a feed chute outlet port for dust-free air displacement during filling.
A transition hood is connected to the fill head using quick-action clamps, to fill boxes from 36 in. to 48 in. (915 mm to 1220 mm) on a side and 39 in. to 44 in. (990 mm to 1117 mm) overall height.
For filling of drums from 30 to 55 gal (114 to 208 liter), a pneumatically-actuated, telescoping drum filling adapter swivels inward for rapid connection to the fill head using quick-action clamps, after which an inlet plate is sealed against the rim of the drum.
In all cases, filling cycles are initiated with a manual push button or by electrical contact closure, after which filling, deaeration and any required disconnection of the equipment from the container inlet are automatic.
The filler is constructed of carbon steel with durable industrial finish, or stainless steel finished to food or dairy standards, and is offered with a mechanical or pneumatic conveyor delivery system integrated with the user's upstream process equipment or other material source.

All variable air volume (VAV) terminal units—including single duct, bypass, system powered induction, fan-powered or dual duct—have a common function: regulate the amount of primary air entering the terminal unit.
This control of the primary air volume can be used for the following purposes:
The primary air valve assembly contains an inlet tube, damper and air flow sensor. When sizing a terminal unit inlet, HVAC designers aim to minimize the sound generation of the terminal unit, as well accurately resolve the flow signal at both full and minimum cooling.

You'll be hearing from the staff at FOOD52 every week in Too Many Cooks, our group column in which we pool our answers to questions about food, cooking, life, and more.
Merrill is the inspiration for this week's Too Many Cooks question. Yes, Merrill -- who you can see here clutching her cut finger after a Horseradish Vodka Bloody Mary mishap -- who once "burned down her kitchen attempting to deep-fry eggs."
Maybe you've guessed the question by now. Hint: it's one that we ask all of our contest winners.
What's your most spectacular kitchen disaster? Let the mishaps and mess-ups begin.
AmandaA few weeks after meeting my now-husband, I was invited to a birthday party for him. It was going to be the first time I would meet a bunch of his close friends, most of them writers. I made my family's treasured birthday cake recipe -- the Chocolate Dump-It Cake. In the taxi on my way to the party, I admired my icing handiwork and discovered that I'd written: Happy Birtday Tad!
MarianLast summer I decided to throw my first dinner party in my new house, and invited over a number of friends from my yoga teacher training course. I decided a raw cashew tart would be a fun, seasonal dish to make for the crowd. Once everything came together, the dish tasted amazing -- lots of cashews, berries, and vanilla beans. I set it in the freezer; just before my friends were set to arrive, I took it out and it was rock hard. Completely frozen. So I stuck it in the stove -- which was turned off -- to bring it to room temp faster. Only 15 minutes into preheating my oven for hamburger rolls did I smell something baking. I had forgotten to take the damn thing out of the oven, thereby baking my raw dessert. It looked dry and cracked around the edges, and I panicked. All was ruined! Luckily, it still tasted great and the sun had gone down by the time I served it, so we enjoyed it regardless.
MaddyIt happened last Christmas Eve when I decided to make beef Wellington for my husband and his siblings. His brother generously splurged on the beef tenderloin and a black truffle for the Madeira sauce. The beef turned out perfectly (see photo!); not so much the truffled sauce. I knocked into the handle of the pan it was simmering in (a handle FAR too heavy for the weight of the pan, you should know, leaving it prone to wobbliness), and the entire pan full of sauce rocked unsteadily backward, and then fell straight to the floor.
KristenTake your pick: The green velvet cake. The incident with someone else's very sharp knife and a fennel bulb at a remote cabin in the Catskills, which left me numb in the tip of my left thumb. The time I balanced on a faulty chair and belly-flopped onto Christmas dinner. Or the time I spilled a bag of millet in my purse and dumped it all straight into Amanda's trash, along with my keys (Amanda and Tad fished them out later, and even washed them for me).
Lindsay-JeanA week before my due date my husband and I harvested buckets of apples from the tree in our backyard and decided to make applesauce. About three apples in, my husband sliced almost all the way through the tip of a finger. We got to spend the better part of our day in the ER, enduring endless jokes about which one of us was the patient, what a good idea it was to do a dry run to the hospital, etc etc etc. (It was his left thumb too, and it's also still numb!)
NozleeMy biggest kitchen disaster involved a small fire when I was 12 or 13 -- to this day, my family makes fun of me whenever I preheat the oven -- but this one still stings. Twice (twice!) this past spring, I attempted to make a beautiful ramp-topped tart. And both times, when I took it out of the oven...I dropped it on the floor.
Amanda LiFor my culinary school final, I had to make a fresh pasta chitarra dish with peas, morels, and asparagus in 2 hours. Miraculously I got everything mised out: pasta rolled and cut, veg blanched, sauce made, station clean. It was 8:00pm and we were told to present by 8:20pm, so I figured that meant we could present before 8:20. I fired all 4 plates and finished plating by 8:05pm. Then my ukranian Chef walks over and said "Vaat are you doing? You must vaait for the rest of your comrades and present at 8:20." I then proceeded to watch as my pasta became dry, congealed, and sad-looking for the next 15 minutes. There was no more time or mise left to make more. It was so embarassing at the judges' table.
MollyIn college, my then boyfriend (now husband) and I were invited to a potluck with professors (!). I had already made a lovely salad to share, but thought I would cement our standing as cool, mature students by arriving with dessert as well. I had a recipe for lemon-berry shortcakes that sounded perfect for this casual gathering. I cruised along making the lemon-flecked dough and a blueberry sauce, then the recipe just stopped -- there were no more instructions. Still being new to baking, I thought I should just add the blueberries to the lemon batter. This move produced an unwieldy, terrifyingly purple batter that we just shoved into the refrigerator. After the potluck, I baked the Smurf cake in the largest casserole pan I had and shared it with other hungry college students. They didn't complain.
BretteThis experience spawned the idea for the First Kitchen column: I got to stage for a day at the restaurant Vetri, and I decided I needed a proper knife for the occasion. I spent weeks researching. I finally showed up with my brand new, super-sharp knife, feeling good, feeling ready. I was then given a crate of kumquats to slice, and, within 10 minutes, I had sliced through each and every finger on my left hand. It was mortifying.
JenniferNot so much a kitchen disaster as an entertaining snafu, but this past summer I prepped and cooked a beautiful Friday night dinner for 6 guests. Too bad the dinner party was on Saturday, not Friday! I completely mixed up the dates and had to make dinner all over again the next night.
KarlOn the eve of the Super Bowl, I had 4 pork shoulders in the smoker overnight when the fire went out somehow (even though I'd had several successful overnight cooks before) -- I woke up in the morning to find that I had been given the cold shoulder. (Zing!) The choice: risk trying to reheat and potentially have unsafe meat, or just throw it all away (this is over $100 worth of pork, mind you). I chose the latter, and was so sad. (But I salvaged a tasty, smoky meal by smoking some chicken breasts and making a chicken salad, served on crostinis.)
GheannaI was five, and my mom and I were making a cake. I had hair as long as Pocahantas (the Disney version, anyway), and it got caught in the mixer. My mom says it still "makes her sick to her tummy."

The Islamic Development Bank (IDB) decided Wednesday, March 21, to donate more than $75 million to the Palestinians to fund projects in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, the official Saudi Press Agency, SPA, said.
The IDB, based in the Saudi Red Sea port of Jeddah, will mostly finance improvements in the infrastructure of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and also projects in the Palestinian educational and health sectors, the agency said.
The funds will be donated as part of the one billion dollars pledged to the Palestinians in October at a summit of Arab leaders in Cairo.
On Tuesday, the IDB announced that it had sent $92 million to Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority, which has been crippled by Israel's blockade and refusal to hand over tax revenues since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian clashes in late September.
At the Cairo summit, several Arab countries objected to direct aid for the Palestinian Authority, arguing that the self-rule body was not open with its finances. — (AFP, Jeddah)

Naked man talking about Sasquatch attacks hunter
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Ore. – A naked man talking about Sasquatch used a rock to attack a hunter in rural Washington County on Thursday morning, deputies said.
Investigators indicated the naked man hit the hunter repeatedly in the head with a rock, but the hunter managed to eventually fight off his attacker. He held the man at bay with his hunting rifle until deputies arrived. The hunter suffered broken fingers, a dislocated shoulder and an eye injury, but will recover, according to his daughter.
According to Sgt. Bob Ray with the Washington County Sheriff's Office, the attacker was 20-year-old Linus Norgren (above) of Banks. The daughter said Norgren was a neighbor. Norgren used an apple-sized rock to hit the hunter and also tried to strangle him with a piece of clothing, Ray said. Investigators said they aren't sure why Norgren attacked the hunter or why he was naked. The victim told police that Norgren was making Sasquatch references. Investigators said he was under the influence of something, but they haven't said what.
The 58-year-old hunter, Jeff McDonald, managed to call deputies once he had Norgren at bay. County deputies and state police troopers searched the heavily wooded area near Manning and used air horns to try to find the victim. As they closed in on foot, the deputies heard the hunter blow a whistle and eventually found the man, Ray said. The search took more than 90 minutes because the forest was so thick and steep, Ray said.
McDonald is not an avid hunter, but was out in the woods behind his neighborhood where he often hikes, his daughter, Sierra, said.
McDonald and his accused attacker know each other – at least a little, because they are neighbors. Sierra told investigators she met Norgren at least once before and never thought he would be capable of attacking her father.
Norgren was yelling that he came from a long family line of Sasquatches. In reality, his father is a well-known mushroom picker, who owns a street-side stand off Highway 26 that's garnered national attention. No one was there Thursday and no one wanted to talk at their home.
Norgren was arrested and faces charges of assault, strangulation and menacing. Ray said more charges could be filed as the investigation continues. His bail is set at $250,000. He's scheduled to be in court Friday.

Release Date: 1987 |
Album Rating: 5.0And for anyone that cares:
Album Rating: 4.0Good review, this is an excellent and often overlooked album.
Album Rating: 4.5I wish more people checked these guys out, they're not well known at all.
Great review
wathced those videos. Not really sure about it. There isn't very much going on. Good review though.
Album Rating: 4.5"There isn't very much going on."
meh, first impressions. I'll probably check it out more in depth at some point. And I meant there didn't seem like it had very much substance to it, but I'll have to give it a proper listen first.
Album Rating: 4.5DCD is probably the most substantial thing to come out of popular music - and I say this as someone who's enamored with death metal, black metal, and IDM. The band may sound alienated to a first-time listener, but that would only be because their music goes against everything modern and convenient. It's not a product, it's art(and yet, almost miraculously, not pretentious). You should probably listen to The Serpent's Egg, Spleen and Ideal, and the self-titled debut first.
Album Rating: 4.5
DCD is probably the most substantial thing to come out of popular music
Album Rating: 4.5In a broader context, the term "popular music" does not refer to sales numbers, but to where the music falls in terms of cultural significance. Basically, it is music derived from the current populist system of being a format for individualist expression, whether this is used for marketing, entertainment, business, or art. There's basically two types of music, popular and classical - not referring to the genre of classical, but "classical" in the sense that it serves a long-standing functional purpose in a specific culture, whether Indian, Chinese, the Jivaro people, or anything else.
I know that this isn't something meant to be convenient. Also, false, on your two types of music. The "classical" you describe is merely traditional folk music. Wherein you will find the melodic foundations of a culture. ie. Eastern European, Middle Eastern, etc. From there we build into mainstream or "popular" music. This would also include indie, and most metal for all intents and purposes. These 'genres' merely takes variations on these melodic figures. Essentially all "popular" music feeds into itself. On the other end, you have the avant-garde. Which may also make use of these figures but experiment more. A la, Kayo Dot, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Stravinski, or possible this band.
Album Rating: 4.5Popular music has no foundation in a particular culture's musical heritage - it is entirely Western. Notice that pop songs from Japan, for example, are basically so-called Swedish pop + a sugar rush. Pop songs from Arabic countries tend to be club dance music with scaled note interludes and vocal ululations thrown in between the verse/chorus breaks - two aspects which are born from Islamic religious music, but because they are taken out of their original context, they no longer carry that context with them.
This is because these songs serve a Western, capitalist purpose. This is what constitutes the watershed between popular and classical music in musicological terms - classical is a cultural expression, and not(like what that course will describe as "popular music") a form of personal gratification.
As for indie, metal, and avant-garde, there's quite a few misunderstandings displayed there as well but they aren't relevant to this Dead Can Dance album, so I'll ignore them. The main point is this: Dead Can Dance falls into the popular music category - not the classical music category. Despite this, they are one of the few acts which come close to expressing classical ideals. One could go so far as to describe them as neo-classical in this sense, but not as a genre description.
Album Rating: 4.5k I had to raise my rating
Album Rating: 4.0Decent review, AMAZING fucking album.
I did feel like your word choice got to be a bit repetitive after a while, however. The word
"ethereal" was used number of times, and could have been replaced with some synonyms.
Album Rating: 4.5raising rating because of how amazing this is
This just fucking blew my mind. Inspiring and haunting at the same time. Xavier is amazing.
I listened to this
This must be good seen as you gave it a 5 MJ, i will give it a listen some time
Pretty goofy stuff but I like it. Cantara convinced me
been digging this a lot lately
Yeah it's alright

This is how New York's LaGuardia Airport looked right after Hurricane Sandy. But this morning, LaGuardia re-opened for business, meaning that all of the city's big airports are back in operation. Don't expect things to go smoothly, though. In fact, JetBlue moved its LaGuardia flights today over to its home back at JFK Airport, and Delta only expects to complete half of its usual LaGuardia schedule today. But JetBlue will be back Friday (at least, that's what it hopes) and things should ramp up over the weekend.
Sandy has been really hard on the nation's air system. Since Sunday, the airlines have canceled more than 19,500 flights. Newark Airport and JFK only came back to life on Wednesday and some of the smaller airports in the area were affected, too. Some of the crews who will be flying the planes may have trouble getting to the airport until the transit system improves. The one lucky thing for airlines is that this is a pretty slow period, and so it should be fairly simply to rebook the passengers who want to fly.

- 1. I have read and understand use and safety rules from the Boy Scout Handbook.
- 2. I will build a campfire only when necessary and when I have the necessary permits (regulations vary by locality).
- 3. I will minimize campfire impacts or use existing fire lays consistent with the principles of Leave No Trace. I will check to see that all flammable material is cleared at least 5 feet in all directions from fire (total 10 feet).
- 4. I will safely use and store fire starting materials.
- 5. I will see that fire is attended to at all times.
- 6. I will make sure that water and/or a shovel is readily available. I will promptly report any wildfire to the proper authorities.
- 7. I will use the cold-out test to make sure the fire is cold out and will make sure the fire lay is cleaned before I leave it.
- 8. I will follow the Outdoor Code and the principles of Leave No Trace.
The Scout's "Firem'n Rights" can be taken from him if he fails in his responsibility.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – It took over 85 minutes of dominating soccer from Georgia College (3-2), but senior Haley O'Hayer (Savannah, Ga.) broke through for the game-winner in Wednesday's 1-0 win over Anderson University (2-2-1) at Bobcat Field.
GC out-shot the Trojans 10-0 in the first half, and again 20-3 in the second.
With less than five minutes left, sophomore Abby Dalton (Macon, Ga.) tracked a ball down on the left side and crossed it to O'Hayer, who knocked it into the left side of the net for her first goal of the season.
Trojan goalkeeper Kaitlyn Neipp was well-tested, making 13 saves in 14 tries in the loss. Sophomore goalkeeping duo Taylor Cornelius (Dacula, Ga.) and Annie Stephens (Fayetteville, Ga.) split time in the shutout.
For the second-straight game, GC's experienced defensive line led by seniors Dixie Robinson (Conyers, Ga.), Jamie Colcord (Marietta, Ga.) and Olivia Holden (Fishers, Ind.) allowed less than 10 shots, this time adding none on target.
The Bobcat victory gives GC a two-game win streak and halts Anderson's of the same length. AU had averaged 4.5 goals per contest in their two victories coming into tonight.
The Bobcats kick off conference play at USC Aiken Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m.

I don't think this deserves a troll.
Why the hell did you use a troll face? How is this in ANY form of trolling?! Get off the internet
9gag and themetapicture both post collections of pictures from all round the web every day, that's why. They're not stealing FROM 9gag they just have all the same source material.
That's how many people like "themetapicture" website – yeah I find it strange too

If any of you watched Bethenny Getting Married? on Bravo, there's no way you missed how horny Bethenny's pregnancy made her husband, Jason. But Jason isn't the only guy out there who thinks pregnant women are the equivalent of love potion #9.
A lot of men find their knocked-up partner to have a certain je ne sais quoi. Here are 10 reasons why:
1. He feels like a man
He shot, he scored! His woman is carrying his child, and he's damn proud.
2. He digs your new curves
Twiggy who? Your new curves make you a siren on par with the new hottest woman from the age of free love — Joan from Mad Men, of course.
3. There are new things to try
It's like the first time all over again…in the bedroom. Remember the nervousness that you felt, the uncertainty? Being pregnant is an excuse to try new things, the sequel.
4. He wants to touch you more
He can't deny your doe eyes when you ask for intimate services like back rubs and foot massages.
5. No more birth control!
Neither of you have to worry about birth control for a long time. That's just freeing, isn't it?
6. You're like a glow worm
Whether you feel like you're glowing or not, he certainly thinks you are. And he's basking in it.
7. Your pheromones are raging
Your hormones are off the charts, which means other things may be off the charts too…
8. Your skin has never looked better
You might not feel like a porcelain doll, but honey your skin hasn't been this soft since you were a baby. (It could also be all the creams you've been using to prevent stretch marks.)
9. You guys are a team like never before
There's no going back now … you two are in it for the long haul (and it will be a long, though joyous, haul). You've never been on a team like this.
10. He's not worthy
Your confidence and grace while taking one for the team (quite literally) makes him feel weak in the knees.

Two arrested for capital murder one year later
Just a few days shy of the one-year anniversary of his death, the family of Aaron Leffage could soon find justice after two suspects were arrested in the capital murder Tuesday, July 2.
Police identified the suspects as Terry Frazier, 28, of Beaumont and Terry James Euglon, 23, of Beaumont and said they'd always suspected the two of the murder but didn't have enough evidence to charge them until now.
Both are charged with severely beating Leffage, who was left at Christus Hospital St. Elizabeth by two friends where he later died of severe blunt force trauma to the head July 5, 2012.
Police said the murder happened July 3, 2012, in the 5200 block of Wilshire Street in Beaumont's North End and evidence, including crime lab data, phone records, and witness statements, connect Frazier and Euglon to the crime.
"I was pretty confident early on in the investigation they were involved, it just took us a while to get the evidence we needed to get warrants for their arrest," said Detective Aaron Lewallen.
He went on to say the year-long investigation was a team effort.
"It's not always about the first 48," he said.
Lewallen would not comment on whether police had a murder weapon or whether Frazier and Euglon were friends with Leffage, only that the two had connections to Leffage's home, possibly through drugs.
Leffage has at least one possession of a controlled substance charge, according to a criminal background search.
"This was a long and intense investigation, just a massive example of teamwork," said Lewallen, who added Frazier and Euglon are charged with capital murder for committing another felony after allegedly killing Leffage.
"There were some items that were taken," Lewallen said. "He was murdered in the process of that robbery, so that's what elevates it to capital murder."
Lewallen said both Frazier and Euglon are responsible for Leffage's death.
"Their both equally culpable," he said.
Euglon and Frazier's bonds are set at $1 million each.

And she started writing…
Welcome to my world.
Where I try to make a reconciliation with all these different me's. I am not a split personality or anything. But there are so many places I've been… I am so many things to so many different people. Family, Wife, Sister, Aunty, Cousin, Immigrant, Service Provider, Manager, Bar Attendant, Student, Teacher, Guardian, Runner, Lifter, Friend, Best Friend, Crazy Person,Lifeguard, Literacy Assistant, Horrible Singer, Decorator, Photographer, Drawer/Artist, Big supporter of gay and lesbian rights even though I have never jumped that fence myself, Great-at-mainly-desserts-kind-of-chef, Housewife, recovering violence victim (and that I say with hesitation). And that's what I can think of in the last 5 minutes.
How do you get it all in there? And how do you trust people? To let them see the worst parts? There is in fact only one Man that I call a friend that knows the worst of it. And he isn't even my husband! Not working recently, not being around other people that think similarly to me and not having money in my bank account has torn me to pieces.
Having spare time, to clean a house, to be a house wife? I have gone from a busy larger than life kind of girl to this stranger who now spends nearly a whole day indoors watching Grey's anatomy, only leaving to run her dog in the afternoon and go to the gym. I'm melting down, mentally falling to bits.
All I can think of is the next plane home, it's worse than being addicted to crack (not that I know) because unlike a crack addict I don't have an addiction to hide behind. All I think of is home, how to get there and what I'd be doing right now. I miss everything so much and I can't even decide if I should be here. That I am actually doing the right thing by being alone.
This is me, Chelsea B
P.S What makes you miss home? What labels do you carry? I'm really interested to see your perspectives, Leave a comment below xx

Whether you brave the stores on Black Friday, shop from home on Cyber Monday, or check out Christmas sales, holiday shopping is at a boiling point. To help you make good decisions while checking off your list, below is an at-a-glance look at the holiday return policies for the top retailers you're likely to visit.
Get the scoop on the best Black Friday deals 2016 here!
1. Wal-Mart return policy
While most standard items have a 90-day return window, items such as electronics and power tools have only a 15-30 day window. Items that have the usual 90-day window must still be returned within 90 days of purchase—however, if you bought electronics or power tools with a 15 or 30-day return window, between November 1 and December 24, Wal-Mart extends the time you have to make that return by starting the clock on December 26 (meaning you have until January 10 and January 25, respectively).
Wal-Mart requires that you have your receipt, otherwise they will only offer cash back for items under $25 and only store credit for items exceeding $25.
2. Target return policy
Target offers a 90-day return policy on most items; however, electronics are again held to a shorter 30-day return window, and the clock starts ticking on December 26. For items purchased between November 1 and December 25, Target allows you to return unopened items for a full refund (what you paid for them at the time) or exchange up until January 24. If you go past that date, you're allowed to return up to $70 of merchandise within one year, without a receipt.
Items bought online can be returned to a physical store location. If you do not have a receipt, you'll need to show a valid ID. Also, Target may assess a 15% restocking fee for some electronics and they have been known to deny a refund for opened items.
3. Costco return policy
Costco does not offer any kind of extended holiday return policy because of their extremely flexible year-round satisfaction guarantee. With that, there is no return deadline on general products but electronics such as televisions, projectors, computers, cameras, camcorders, touch screen tablets, MP3 players and cellular phones are held to a strict 90-day return window.
Yes, items bought online can be returned to a physical store location.
4. Amazon.com return policy
All items purchased on Amazon.com between November 1 and December 31 can be returned for a full refund if returned by January 31. While this is pretty cut and dry, keep in mind there are some major disclaimers.
You're only eligible for a full refund if all media (DVDs, music, games, etc.) are unopened and all electronics (computers, tablets, etc.) are returned in their original packaging in mint condition. Otherwise, Amazon.com may assess restocking fees of up to 50% on opened items.
It's also important to understand that just because you bought something at Amazon.com, it doesn't necessarily mean you bought it from Amazon. Because the site hosts thousands of third-party marketplace sellers, check to see exactly who you are purchasing from and, above all, confirm their individual return policy (as it will likely differ from Amazon.com itself).
5. Best Buy return policy
For items purchased between November 3 and December 31, Best Buy offers an extended holiday return policy that allows returns up until January 15 with a valid receipt and a photo ID. Keep in mind, third-party carrier contracts for mobile phones and service providers such as DirecTV do not fall under this holiday gift policy and there is an extensive list of non-returnable items to note here.
Items bought online can be returned to a physical store location.
6. Sears return policy
Historically boasting a 120-day return policy, Sears now states that items purchased with a standard 30-day return policy between November 17 and December 24 can now be returned through January 24. Additionally, items purchased with a standard 60-day return policy, between November 17 and December 24can be returned up to 60 days from the date of purchase.
It's important to note that items that usually have a 90-day return period, such as major home appliances, vacuums, and heating equipment, are not covered by the extended holiday return policy.
Lastly, Sears' holiday return policy explicitly states that any visibly damaged items must be reported within 72 hours to qualify for refund or exchange and that a 15% restocking fee is commonly applied to electronics with missing parts or that appear to be used.
7. Macy's return policy
For general merchandise, Macy's does not have a defined return period; items can be returned at any time. However, furniture is limited to three days and mattresses are limited to 60 days. (Furniture is limited to three days after delivery and delivery fee will not be refunded and there is a 15% restocking fee that will be assessed. Mattresses 60 days however, delivery fee will not be refunded and a $70 pick up fee will charged along with a 15% handling fee.)
All online purchases can be returned to any Macy's location but, as a bonus, because they often affix a customer return label to their goods, a receipt may not be necessary.
8. Apple store return policy
Because Apple deals exclusively with electronics, their return policy is much more strict than the other more general retailers. The Apple holiday return policy states that items purchased between November 1 and December 25 can be returned up through January 7, however, all purchases outside of that are subject to their standard return policy of 14 calendar days (and 30 days for iPhones).
That said, much like Best Buy above, there is an extensive list of items that are not eligible for returns. That list can be seen here.
9. Toys"R"Us return policy
Although Toys"R"Us does not have a specific holiday return policy, their year-round policy states that they will accept returns made within 90 days of the purchase date, as long as you have your receipt. In-store returns are eligible for a refund, however online purchases returned to a store will only qualify for a store credit.
Take note that they strictly state that items must be returned in "new or like-new condition" and they must be in the "original packaging with all the paperwork (manuals, assembly instructions, etc.)" to get a full refund. Otherwise they reserve the right to refuse returns that do not meet their return requirements.
There is a 30 day return policy for cameras, camcorders, digital audio players, video game hardware, DVD players, and no-contract cell phones and a 15 day policy for computer hardware (eReaders, Netbooks, and tablets).
10. Kohl's return policy
Making life easy, Kohl's does not have a holiday return policy of any kind. In fact, their customer service page specifically states that you can "return any item, anytime, for any reason." Whether you have a receipt or not, they will issue a full refund, exchange or merchandise credit.
We understand that holiday shopping can be hectic and that the people on your list can be picky, so we hope that this list of return policies has been helpful. Now go shopping with a renewed confidence and, of course, have a Happy Holiday!

Sharing a Release Day
Part of the release process is a calm, graceful* approach to the day when cherubs will appear outside your window, singing of the beauty that is release day. If you take off your glasses, squint a little, and only look at them before the morning tea or coffee, these are beautiful creatures. They each hold a copy of your book. Later in the day, they will deliver this book to a special person who will send you truffles and orchids because it is the book they've waited for their whole lives.
This kind of experience is so overwhelming that you need trusted friends to help you cope with the tears of joy. More importantly, you need them in the weeks prior to release.
--big dose of reality--
Release day? Scary. The weeks before release? Mood-swinging madness. This is the time when you call your trusted friends and say "OMG, what if [insert crisis here] and then my entire career will END?" If your friend is not on release too, s/he will say, "No, that won't happen. Take your head out of the microwave** and calm down." If s/he is on release, the reply sounds more like, "I know! We are both so CENSOR."
Yes, my regular critique partner is sharing a release day with me. Oh, and she's in revisions, and I'm finishing a book right now. We're both on post-holiday diets.
So really, what I'm saying is that it's probably best to pretend you don't see us if we happen to cross your path any time this month. Avoid eye contact. Back away slowly. Don't be afraid to hide your microwave behind a tower of cookies and cakes if we are visiting you.
On the other hand, if you feel inclined to watch the crazy up close, here's where I'll be and where J will be.
Luckily, we aren't in the same places as we share release . . .
* And by "graceful," I mean complete mood-swingy crazy fits.
** I am watching SUPERNATURAL with my son and the episode where the guy microwaves his head? Scarred me.

I am glad you have someone to go to that dark, dark place with you . Now you need to find an author that doesn't have a release coming and cling to her for dear life. You have a very loyal following and they are going to be so excited and happy with the book and you :) Good luck and find a happy place (sometimes wine helps).
- February 6, 2011 at 4:48 PM
- Terri Garey said...
Both of you--back AWAY from the microwaves, you silly geese! (The cherubs don't like modern technology.)
What a time to cut out chocolate! :)
The world will love your book, as well as Jeaniene's. I, for one, can't wait!

I REALLY hope that you, Jeaniene and Ilona never have a release the same day. I'm afraid there might be violence or projectile vomiting. *snort* Oh, and dang you for breaking my illusion of the release day cherubs.*sniff sniff*
You know your book is going to rock-- seriously ROCK.
- February 6, 2011 at 7:10 PM
Can't wait for your book Darkest Mercy! February 22nd can't get here fast enough. I have preordered both yours and Jeaniene's book.

Swimming Pool Blog
Swimming Pool Safety
by "Admin Andy" May 08, 2008
Anyone who has been to a community pool has no doubt heard the lifeguards shouting at children "No running!". A whistle is blown and everyone is told to slow down. There's nothing that can ruin a fun pool party like a trip to the emergency room. Especially for something that could have been avoided. Swimming pool accidents are responsible for many injuries and deaths per year. Not only is drowning the most common cause of death of children under the age of 5 in many parts of the country, But countless of other injuries occur each year from falls, entrapment and just plain carelessness and negligence. The first and foremost thing we all need to do, is just use common sense.
Did we leave the gate open? Catch that phone call "just for a second" while there is a toddler around a pool? How about Uncle Billy, A few too many before jumping off of the diving board, or worse yet, off of the edge of the pool? Head first? Common sense and thinking twice can save countless of lives and personal injury. Kid's drowning? I'm not one for numbers, but 65 percent of drowning involving young children happen in the child's own yard! 75 percent of victims were missing from sight for 5 minutes or less.
How many of these deaths could have been avoided. I shudder to think of how many innocent lives could be saved if we all take a little time, and use common sense around the pool. Glass bottles and glasses, extension cords, alcohol, running, horseplay, algae on the pool deck, pool chemicals, winter covers full of water or not secure. All of these present danger, and hazards for anyone around or near the pool. And how many of these can be avoided. All of them, Maybe, with a little common sense, we can save some lives.

Adding beer — in this case Vienna, Märzen, or Oktoberfest, but the choices are plentiful — to your chili can make the flavors more complex and robust. Try serving this chili with garnishes of sharp cheddar, a mixture of freshly minced scallions and cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream.
Prep time: About 20 min
Cook time: About 1 hr
Yield: 10–12 servings
2-1/2 to 3 pounds super-lean ground pork, beef, or combination
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large onions, chopped
6 large cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1-1/2 teaspoons ground coriander
2 teaspoons dried oregano, crushed
1/3 to 1/2 cup mild, red chile powder (ancho if you can get it)
1–2 teaspoons cayenne (optional)
2 cups Vienna/Märzen/Oktoberfest style beer mixed with 1/3 cup masa harina (or fine-ground cornmeal)
3 cups canned broth (chicken, vegetable, or beef) or water
1 16-ounce can kidney beans, drained
1 16-ounce can black beans, drained
2 16-ounce cans pinto beans, drained
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
In a large skillet, cook the meat over medium heat just until all traces of pink are gone (don't cook until browned). Remove from heat, drain off the excess fat, and set aside.
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook until translucent, about 2 minutes.
Lower heat to medium-low and add garlic, cumin, coriander, and oregano. Continue cooking for 4 minutes.
Sprinkle in chile powder and cayenne (if using) and continue cooking for 1 minute.
Add beer, broth, cooked meat, and beans. Simmer slowly, stirring frequently, for 40 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
Per serving: Calories 302 (From Fat 82); Fat 9g (Saturated 2g); Cholesterol 65mg; Sodium 761mg; Carbohydrate 23g (Dietary Fiber 8g); Protein 30g.
For a marvelous Southwestern twist, stir in 1 large can of drained hominy during the last 10 minutes of cooking. For a heartier chili, cook 1/2-pound chopped bacon and add it along with the meat and beans.
