Need an easy, simple appetizer to take to a party
- f
- farmersdaughter Dec 15, 2005 03:23 PM
I'm in charge of appetizers for a party of our extended family, and I need an idea for something that I can bring to the party (fortunately this requires a only a one block walk from our house). The appetizer should be something fairly easy and not too frou-frou (this is a non-risk taking, meat and potatoes crowd). For example, one of the appetizers I'm bringing everyone's favorite meatball recipe, which is just a mixture of Jimmy Dean's hot and regular sausage plus chopped water chestnuts, baked in the oven until browned, drained of the grease and served warm with barbecue sauce for dipping. Anything else along those lines? We always have tamales for this dinner, but the appetizer does not need to be related to the dinner. TIA!
Last week we had a Mexican themed dinner for an annual get together. I made turkey mole enchiladas for the main course. For some appetizers I made my grandmother's version of southwestern pimento cheese that always diasppears pronto and a hot refried bean dip with crumbled chorizo and a bit of suateed onion and queso enchilado.
For the cheese dip you need about 3/4 lb. either sharp cheddar or longhorn/colby cheese. It depends on what your group likes. Grate it coarsely and place in a mixing bowl. Add 2 Tbs. minced onion and a little bit of minced garlic. Add 1 can chopped roasted green chilis (Ortega or La Preferida) are better than Old El Paso and a few grindings of black pepper toss with a fork to combine and then stir in enough mayonnaise (not Miracle Whip) to bind but not enough so that it gets gloppy, if you get too much mayo in just add a bit more cheese. Serve at room temperature with freshly fried tortilla chips. I sprinkled a little ancho chili powder on top for a bit of extra color.
The bean dip was nothing more than a lg. can or refried black beans mixed with 1/2 lb. browned and crumbled chorizo and about a 1/2 C. chopped onion sauteed in a bit of lard then the whole mixed together and place in a a baking dish, I used a souffle dish, topped with queso enchilado and baked until piping hot and the cheese is melted and has taken on a little color. Serve with the chips too.
There were no complaints and very little left.
I love to cook, love to try new things, and like you, I always end being asked to bring a tried and true "comfort food" recipe of "sausage balls" - Jimmy Dean with shredded cheese & biscuit mix, mixed and rolled into balls and baked. ::sigh:: (OK, that was a bit melodramatic - I love the darn things too.)
One other favorite is stuffed mushrooms - I go with sausage stuffing because my husband is allergic to shellfish, and they couldn't be any easier - just make a basic sausage stuffing, drop into cleaned mushroom caps, and voila. I'd seen a recipe somewhere recently that used a bacon/blue cheese stuffing, but don't recall where.
While I'm thinking of stuffing things, stuffed cherry tomatoes are always nice, if you can get the wonderful little "on the vine" hothouse variety. For this I usually just do a simple cream cheese and herb mix.
Stuffed jalapenos always appeal to those who feel the need to prove their manhood (as it were) - stuff canned jalapenos with cream cheese mixed with a bit of shredded cheese, wrap with bacon and bake until the bacon crisps. That one's better for a Superbowl party, but as long as I was going on about my pedestrian stuffed stuff I figured I'd toss it in.
Here's one that is super easy and has always gotten rave reviews. Be sure to make it ahead and enjoy with most any kind of cracker...
Olive Nut Spread
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup pecans
1 cup chopped green olives
dash pepper
2 Tablespoons olive juice
Stir together, cover and chill. It will set when it cools. Should be made at least a day in advance for flavors to develop.
This is a recipe that appeared on Chowhound last fall. It made my list of party appetizers. I use a combo of both cheddar and monterey jack cheeses.
The following is a copy and paste.
Brought this dip to our son's house for the playoffs last year...all his friends kept going into the kitchen and saying "What IS this???? Who MADE this???? Dude, did you TASTE that?"
Bonnie's Buffalo Chicken Dip
4 - boneless skinless chicken breast halves, about 2 pounds, boiled and shredded with 2 forks (I do mine in the crockpot and then I have homemade chicken broth for other cooking uses; the meat shreds so beautifully, too.)
1 - 12 ounce bottle Frank's Hot Sauce (try NOT to substitute....Crystal is passable but whatever you do, do NOT use Tabasco!)
2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
1 - 16 ounce bottle Ranch dressing
1/2 cup chopped celery
8 - ounces shredded sharp cheddar cheese or Monterey Jack cheese or combo thereof
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a 13x9x2 inch baking pan, combine the cooked, shredded chicken meat with the entire bottle of Frank's, spreading to form an even layer.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine cream cheese and entire bottle of Ranch dressing, stirring til hot and smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over chicken mixture.
Sprinkle with chopped celery. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Then add the shredded cheese and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or til bubbly--do not overbake or the cheese topping will get browned and hardened! Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes. Serve with celery pieces (cut the celery cross-wise, not lengthwise...you want the dip to get scooped into the celery piece)...or with any sturdy dipping chip like Tostito Golds.
re: Alan408
I made this for a Superbowl party after seeing it on Chowhound and *loved* it! Really does taste like a dip version of eating buffalo chicken wings.
re: Celeste
"Really does taste like a dip version of eating buffalo chicken wings."
Excellent way of putting it. I made this last year and enjoyed it quite a bit. But it is still a dip, and is not just like eating wings. IMO
re: Alan408
My family does the chicken wing dip too - slight difference in how we prepare it. Spread the cream cheese along the bottom of the pan. Combine shredded chicken with mozzerella cheese, hot sauce and blue cheese dressing and pour over cream cheese. Then top with some mozzerella and bake.
re: Alan408
I also made the Buffalo Chicken Dip for a birthday party after seeing the recipe on Chowhound. People (including myself) devoured it! I got asked for the recipe by several people who were at the party. It is SO good!!!
Something simple, delicious and loved by all:
Bacon Wrapped Waterchestnuts
Waterchestnuts from can, rinse, wrap with 1/2 piece of bacon, secure with toothpick and repeat. Bake on like 350 until bacon is crispy, 15-20 minutes. I love these things and they go like hotcakes everytime!
Have fun!
Before reading Raymond's suggestion, the first thing that popped into my head was rumaki. I served it last Christmas, and my guest went nuts over them. Here's an Emeril recipe - I like to serve them with a not too sweet, sweet & sour sauce.
A couple of ideas:
cream cheese with hot pepper jelly spread over it, serve with crackers
Drunken puppies: 3/4 cup brown sugar; 3/4 cup ketchup; 1/2 cup diced onion; a Tablespoon yellow mustard; 2 pounds of cocktail wienies; 3/4 cup Kentucky Bourbon; simmer uncovered about 30 minutes, throw in a crock pot on low and serve
I went to a small dinner party last weekend a couple brought this layer dip that everyone loved, and so simple. Hummus, romaine lettuce, kalamata olives, tomatoes, onions, feta, and cucumber. Truly, it went over really well. I actually made some today to nosh on and still like it. The couple got the recipe out of the local paper...the column has other easy appetizer recipes as well.
I brought a roasted red pepper dip that was really easy and was ok but I over-toasted the pine nuts (not good). I put 4 oz. blue cheese, 4 oz. goat cheese, a roasted red pepper or more to taste (used jarred), a couple tablespoons toasted pine nuts, a dab of tapenade, and a bunch of basil and a tablespoon of olive oil in a food processor and blended until smooth. Then I chilled it and served it with slices of baguette. I think the baguette slices would have been better toasted, or maybe using pita would be better as the "scooper" needs a little firmness. Hope this helps.
Since you're already bringing a meat appetizer, I say something all or mostly vegetarian. Yummy "comfort food" apps that always delight even a foodie such as moi:
Potato skins w/ sour cream, bacon, chives
Deviled eggs
7-layer dip
talk about potatoes, I've made the recipe in the linked post below twice since seeing it just a few weeks ago on Chowhound...it got raves, disappeared...and really couldn't be much simpler. As the OP notes, you can do most of it ahead of time! This is one of those recipes where the sum is greater than the parts.
(and thanks to the OP!)
How about something really simple like a cheese ball? You have the meat covered and a good cheeseball is always a highlight. My family recipe:
2 packages of cream cheese
8oz of pepper jack cheese
6-8 slices of bacon, cooked crispy and crumble
2-4 garlic cloves crushed or finely diced
one bunch of chopped scallions
tablespoon of pimento cheese
Mix it all together with your hands, roll into a ball and roll through chopped nuts of our choice. You can adjust ingredients to your taste - you just can't go wrong with this. Tastes great with veggies or crackers or bread or on a spoon standing in the middle of the kitchen at midnight. The pepper jack adds such a nice little bite!
Another favorite that's super easy is layering goat cheese, sundried tomatoes and drained pesto. I do it in a very small, square loaf pan (like the tiny disposable ones you buy at the grocery) that I line with strips of wax paper so that it pops out easily. Then just layer the goat cheese, SDT, goat cheese, pesto, etc ending up with a layer of goat cheese. I typically end up with 4 layers of the cheese, two of pesto and one of SDT in the middle. Turn it out onto a plate and you're done. Very pretty layers and very festive! Just be sure the pesto is VERY dry or the oil will run down the sides. Serve with crudite (broccoli seems to be a favorite) and crostini or crackers.
re: krissywats
I had the same thought--cheese ball. Always popular, no matter who is there. I use a recipe that combines some kind of processed port wine cheddar cheese spread and cream cheese (I think? it's been a long time), probably a little something else (maybe worcestershire? tabasco?) and it gets rolled in walnuts.
Everybody loves cheese!
I think the layered goat cheese thing sounds good, it always looks festive. Another popular, easy to assemble and carry appetizer.
A super simple family favorite is hot artichoke dip. The recipie is on Progresso artichoke hearts, but it is just a can of artichoke hearts chopped, mixed with 3/4 cup mayo, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, and a dash of garlic powder. Bake at 350 until bubbling, aroung 30 minutes. Everytime I bring it somewhere people ask for the recipe. We like it with crackers or tortilla chips.
An incredibly easy dip that tastes nothing like its components, so even people who don't like some of them (like me - hate swiss cheese, not crazy about mayo) love it. Looks a bit like a crab dip.
1 pkg finely shredded swiss cheese (Sargento makes a good one)
1 small (4 oz, I think - the smallest size) mayo - not Miracle Whip
1 small to mdium diced red onion
Mix. Allow to stand for awhile for flavors to blend. Particularly good served with pumpernickel pretzel dipping sticks.

02.19.2014 - 14:08 | PatheticManatee - Why not Birdemic 2?Birdemic made a ton of money, given its production costs. Plus it was a great movie, unintentionally hilarious from beginning to end. So Nguyen had some backers who wanted a sequel. They gave him money, and he made the sequel. We get another awkwardly bad movie, albeit one that's a little too tongue-in-cheek.

02.19.2014 - 16:23 | WesleyFoxxHe shows up for about three minutes towards the end. If you're expecting him to contribute to the review beyond one skit, haha, silly Salfordio, that's giving them WAY too much credit. There's no room for genuine humor with all these "we're so bad its funny!" jokes
(Except its not funny, because the movie is already bad, and you're just doing an overly sarcastic exaggeration of it, which doesn't come off as funny, it comes off as smug and obnoxious. But its okay because we do a Rob Schneider voice!)

02.20.2014 - 03:21 | DevilfishPoor sweet hero. What must it be like, guarding the purity of the creative community minute after lonely minute, uninvited images of Subway Sandwiches and Coke Zero swimming in your mind as your lonely vigil continues and stretches out before you into infinity. How could we possible imagine a world in which creative works went unscrutinized and uncritiqued, by you, a world in which any knave and villain could assault our innocence with poorly shot video and objectively terrible attempts to amuse. How can you rest when evil abounds?
I say no more. I say it is time to see that world, and bravely, boldly fight as a community, as a brotherhood, so that you may finally rest. Lay down your head, sweet hero. Your thankless task is at and end. We will take this burden from you, we will strike down ego-wanking-offing wherever we may encounter it according to the Scrolls of What Wesleyfoxx Finds Amusing, and a new age of enlightenment will wash over the unhallowed halls of the internet like a cleansing flood ordained from on high.
Sleep now, sweet hero, and rest, for when the forces of unrepentant internet video producers once again conspire to rob us of our precious minutes, the world may call on you once again.
02.20.2014 - 08:21 | WesleyFoxxNo, please, keep going. You're really helping your case by being an asshole to someone who is reasonably expressing their opinion.
You seem like the type who was rolling in the aisles when the Critic did his overly long "you are such a master of voiceover acting" bit in Eight Crazy Nights. Mmm, yes, delicious sarcasm, pour it all over me. Bathe in the seething anger and vitriol.
02.20.2014 - 13:18 | Really
02.19.2014 - 19:51 | TroodonYes, let's use AdBlock! Let's deprive people that produce entertainment for us for free from the only source of income they make doing this!
02.19.2014 - 19:21 | mikeysamaI whitelisted the recently re-launched Normal Boots (Jontron and PBG's site) because the ads were sensible. Blip's shooting itself in the foot with this shit.
02.19.2014 - 19:47 | TroodonDo you realize that when you watch TV, 1/4 of the running time is devoted to commercial breaks? I never figured out why people expect internet videoes to be held to some higher standard. Honestly the only thing I find annoying about the commercial breaks is that it's always the same two commercials over and over.
Unless you paid money to Phelous for the sake of making the video you don't have a legitimate basis to complain. You're getting entertainment for free. The commercials pay the rent of the people you watch.
02.19.2014 - 21:13 | mikeysamaDo you realize your argument amounts to "it's tradition, that makes it ok"? Or that I have yet to find another platform that crams 4 ads into a video, runs ads halfway through, or includes banners DURING the video? Really detracts from the experience.
Furthermore, big business television has the sort of budgets and polish that warrants such a high number of ads. Phelous is very entertaining imo, but he isn't producing Breaking Bad here. Nevermind that the TV way of doing things is going the way of the dinosaur.
I'm not demanding Phelous or anyone on this site make content for free, that's just asinine. But there has to be a point where enough is enough. If not for adblock, I wouldn't visit this site at all, and I think blip has actually driven more people to look into ad-block. Honestly, it's a tricky and somewhat abstract problem, and I think blip is going about it wrong.
Again, Jontron seems to be doing just fine with his 2 site image ads and one ad before the video.

02.22.2014 - 04:05 | ratcatcherWe'll have to agree to disagree. No one really has "good" or "bad" tastes in films, but Doug's taste in film is pretty much in line with most people who watch a lot of films. You find no surprises with him. Not saying it's necessarily a bad thing, but it doesn't make him special. Plus he loves Oscar-bait stuff like Sideways.
Basing something on one person's opinion, no matter how "elite", is sad enough, but basing it on someone who isn't even an actual critic is even worse.
02.23.2014 - 18:48 | kingrat2314You may need to reacquaint yourself with soap operas, because Breaking Bad is nothing like one. And more plot-driven than character-driven? Have you ever actually seen an episode of Breaking Bad? The show doesn't make itself out to be ultrarealistic. Most everything in the show is believable. Your "opinion" of Breaking Bad and your relegation of it's female characters as "worthy of Nolan" just screams troll, even if you say it's just your opinion. Buzz off.
02.19.2014 - 22:34 | WesleyFoxx
05.09.2014 - 16:45 | DaReaperZ - I know I'm late but...I don't think that the ads are that bad, really. They take a few seconds only anyway. It costs me nothing more than those seconds, I can live with that.
Also I'd have to say that I don't understand why you don't think this is funny. Though I guess that's just your taste or opinion. But I at least think many of the jokes they made were actually quite funny, and some of the things they said that are true were funny. Oh well.
I must say, it's interesting how there are people who say they're going to stop watching Phelous just cause Lupa is in some of his videos. That's one thing I really can't understand, even if she's not funny to someone.
02.19.2014 - 11:15 | MatthewShrugged - Umm.So where there a birdemic somewhere in this. Did I miss it?
02.19.2014 - 11:24 | AstaKaskSo... Birdemic sex - more or less awkward than the Room sex?
02.19.2014 - 11:30 | alucardismasterWill there be a second part soon?
02.19.2014 - 13:13 | Phelous
02.20.2014 - 17:44 | satireknightAh, thank you! Looking forward to it!
02.19.2014 - 12:00 | ManicWolfYou've gotta love a sequel that's half taking the piss out of the first movie, and half completely serious.
It's pretty bad when you really can't tell if the footage comes from the movie or not (I honestly thought that the giant jumbo jellyfish scene was mocked up by Phealous as a joke about how the character disappeared).
02.19.2014 - 12:28 | lobsterzoidbergAwesome.
Interesting to note that I've seen better effects in videos made by Phelous than what Birdemic 2 gives us.
And, on a side note, when I first saw that this video was posted, I thought it might be a joke video because I had no idea they'd actually made a Birddemic 2. I thought they were still trying to get it together.

02.19.2014 - 12:47 | Spike_primeWhen I first saw the "Giant Jumbo Jellyfish", well... my first reaction was immediately
"Umm... did... did you guys add that?"
Then I saw the rest of the dialogue of the film. Then it was more "Oh god. Oh by the name of all that's holy... that is dumb." Then I laughed so hard I cried.
By the way, these crossovers are getting better and better, I loved the one on The Time Machine (I found at a Yard Sale), that was hilarious and perfect. This carries on the tone brilliantly and you two have seriously reached your apex of great chemistry.
I would like to see you guys try slightly different formatting for the next one, maybe a film that's faster paced to make different kinds of jokes--not that I didn't like the way this played out, it was great, but I always enjoy seeing where you take it next time.
Great review, I look forward to whatever comes next :D

XD Great acting Lupa! So from what I get from this, Bridemic 2 has the same slow pacing as Birdemic 1, since we have yet to see an actual birdemic. And now I want to listen on those commentaries. XD I'll try to find them. Seriously, though, this was brilliant and made my week! Great job everyone!

02.19.2014 - 14:49 | HanSKWhat did this movie have to do with Birdemic again?
So his dream girl is Xavier the Renegade Angel?
I guess Phaelous and The Cinema Snob still believe that the Nostalgia Critic perished during To Boldly Flee
But wait a minute, wasn't that all just a hallucination by Phaelous while he was at the brink of death due to the heart-attack he suffered way back during the review of Mac and Ma?
And yay for the Phaelous/Snob slash (with Lupa watching)

02.19.2014 - 16:50 | SpeedyEric - James Nguyen: The Hitchcock of bad movies.FINALLY, you guys are reviewing the sequel to Birdemic that NO ONE asked for.
3:09- Either way, this film still has a 2.4 out of 10 star rating on IMDB.
4:48- Well, I'll give the movie this: we don't hear this guy's out of sync footsteps, but this walking is dragging on like a Family Guy joke.
God bles Whitney Moore for not giving a shit about this movie, and is only doing it for the paycheck.
I wouldn't be surprised if the beer they were drinking was acutally apple juice.
24:20- This greenscreen shot reminds me of those in "The Amazing Bulk."
I guess that the Giant Jumbo Jellyfish looks "better from a distance."
When the CGI ambulance showed up, I think that was the 5th "Oh, come on!" I said about this film.
Nice job on Brad's cameos. I actually blame the seaweed for the sister's death. (...Good.)
Good luck on Part 2.
02.19.2014 - 16:51 | Pepita87Funniest review I've seen in a while. Was laughing out loud for various times. Keep up the good work!
02.19.2014 - 16:57 | Amesang
02.19.2014 - 17:10 | CyborgPrinceYour usage of non-sequiturs and random references kept me most amused. For a while I thought the Brad appearance was going to be a play on the Tippi Hedren thing where he either appeared in some video, or just his name would be there. However, you surprised me. I realised that he's smaller than Allison. I enjoyed the dancing and 'romance'.
I know you're a Hitchcock fan, James Nguyen. I am too. You don't have to shake it in our faces. In fact, you're making me kind of embarrassed to be one. I also find it interesting that as a Hitchcock fan, he keeps making links to the one actress who accused Hitchcock of being rather possessive of her, causing ire from others who had previously worked with him. I know it's because she was in the Birds, but did Nguyen's film have to be about birds in the first place?
That jellyfish. Wow. What did Nguyen pay the animators with? Coupons for McDonald's? It's hard to believe he considers himself a serious and good filmmaker. Even Tommy Wiseau is aware that The Room's appeal is because if its awfulness and absurdity.
I noticed a distinct lack of birds. I can only assume this is just the first half of the movie.
02.19.2014 - 17:45 | smek2 - That song!!!
02.19.2014 - 23:36 | JohroThis is hard. I assume it's actually part of the film(since Phelan credits everything else) and the only female performer listed in the music credits of the movie is Loren Semmens. The problem there is that there's only one song in the credits with a lyrics credit and it's the movie theme. I also could find nothing online for a Loren Semmens(musically) except that someone by that name is part of a project called Maker Breaker.
That's the best I could do.
02.19.2014 - 18:08 | nomad1112 - giant jumbo jellyfish
02.19.2014 - 19:32 | Epithimiaoh my god 22:00-23:00 I literally couldn't stop laughing, tears in the eyes; haven't experienced that with an internet video in a long time, kudos to you wonderful people.

Knoxville (WVLT) -- It might not be the WWE, but tonight, these guys proved that sometimes you don't need glamor to help out America's servicemen and servicewomen.
Tennessee Mountain Wrestling hosted a Legends show this evening at the National Guard Armory on Sutherland Avenue.
Among the wrestlers grappling for a good cause were, "Dirty White Boy" Tony Anthony, "The Tennessee Stud" Robert Fuller, and Terry Landell who helped organize the event.
"These guys have been overseas and they went over there to fight for us," he said. "All the people outside of Knoxville and inside of Knoxville, if everyone comes out, support the troops right here, tonight."
The show hoped to sell all 1,000 in the house.
They plan to donate a share of the total money collected to the Tennessee National Guard's 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment - Regimental Combat Team.

Idler's Dream Lyrics - Oasis
Review The Song (1)
my heart it skips a beat when i behold
the light that's shining through your eyes of gold
from heavenly blood you seem to spring
from heavenly waters you can drink
i'll meet you on a day that never ends
i'll greet you in a way that heaven meant
you lay me down gently on the leaves
you cover me over in my sleep
i never did say that i wish i could
i never could pray cos it's just no good
i hope you don't break my heart of stone
i don't wanna scream out loud
and wake up on my own
and as i close my eyes
and the sky turns red
i realise just what you are
you're an idlers dream
and you're singing shangri la
shangri la
shangri la
shangri la

Members of the Sedona Visual Artists' Coalition are inviting the public to their homes and studios this weekend during the Open Studio Tour, Friday, April 25, through Sunday April 27.
Nearly 40 artists are participating in the event, including Mike Upp, the event's organizer. The artists will roll out the welcome mats to show all types of media, from ceramics to oil paintings.
Of course, the art isn't the only reason to go. Unlike galleries, these home tours will have the artists there, in their own environment, allowing the viewer to ask questions and see how certain pieces are made. Demonstrations in several media will run throughout the weekend at several locations.
For the full story, see the Wednesday, April 23, edition of the Sedona Red Rock News.

Tips on how to Save Your Relationship Yourself and Win Back Your Ex Partner?
If you are separated, divorced, or just broken up, this article will help you to find out the initial move on how to save your relationship.
Before any break up can happen, there are always clear signals but many of us don' t take these signals so serious. The truth is that, we don' t even discover that there was many obvious warning signs. Therefore it will now become so sudden to all of us as soon as the relationship ends or fractures up.
The good news for you here is that, even when your relationship has ended, it doesn' t mean that there is no way that you can use to save it. Here are some important things you must know if you want to save your relationship.
Permit your partner a space: It is important that you need to give him or her the distance that she or he needs to enable him or her to really feel your absence and equally realize the importance of having you. It' s an important aspect of saving your relationship. Do not send text message, call, e-mail or do anything similar right now.
Try to Take pleasure and amount of time in life alone: You too will need space the same way your ex companion needs space. All you must consider is that both of you will reconcile. You should keep this knowledge in mind. So what you have to do is to go and hang around with some of your friends, etc . Just try to have fun and be yourself. The importance of doing this is that, it will make him or her to completely realize that you are the only one he or she cherished when the relationship initially began. She or he will be able to cherish you more.
Avoid gossiping: On numerous occasions, you will be enticed or enticed to speak or complain for your friends regarding your ex partner' s behavior in order to ease yourself in the breakup. Try to stay away from this since even a friend can gossip this to your partner which can worsen the whole situation. You are already in a very cheap state of emotion, and if you let another person know about your ex partner' s attitude towards you, this is probably exposed later on which can cause a lot more problem for you.
Take responsibility: Even if you are not the main one at fault that resulted to the split up, just take responsibility for it for the purpose of conserving your relationship. Don' t quit if you still love your ex. You will find proven methods that you can use to get back again your ex and to make him or her really like you like never before.

Ok, i obviously know what a relationship is, but what does it mean when someone says ur relationship is not mutual?
can this relationship work? & why?
@ Tree are you male or female. I get Leo males often.
are long distance relationships a good idea?
what age should someone start their first real relationship[???
yeah like long term
I mean, a emotionally/verbally abusive relationship.
I mean really. Do the partners in an open relationship really like each other that much? I doubt it, if they allow the other partner to have sex with another person… I understand they're in a relationship (well, they're together), but still…
what do you think of long distant relationships??
and also what are the 3 types of relationships?
Recently someone asked me: "what is a relationship?" I was so surprised and I'm not sure I gave the best answer…
—- So what is your definition of a relationship and are relationships serious to you or just passing time?
How long do you generally date before you make it a relationship? How do you make it a relationship? What do you do different when you are dating someone, but not in a relationship? Feel free to state any thoughts about both dating and relationships.
what is something that can have a relationship, but not people. like something else that comes to mind when you think of the topic 'relationships' or even just when you hear the word what first pops into your head

Project Runway: Making It Work
Tasked with creating an inspired look for the modern working woman, season 10 Project Runway designer Melissa Fleis stepped out of her comfort zone and into the spotlight.
By Lauren N. Williams
Work It
With choice language (too many F-bombs to count) and harsh criticisms, Slivnyak "negatively impacted the mood and morale of our team," Fleis says. But unlike teammate Osorio, whose anger toward Slivnyak erupted upon his elimination, Fleis remained positive."Focusing purely on the negative side of things is a waste of precious time."

MIAMI (AP) - Everglades National Park's superintendent will be retiring this month after three decades in the National Park Service.
Dan Kimball oversaw the construction of a one-mile bridge on the Tamiami Trail to help restore the natural flow of water through the Everglades. Under his leadership, the park also has worked with rock miners to build underground barriers to hold more water in the wetlands. He also has worked with fishermen to establish protections for sea grass.
Kimball also has worked to eradicate exotic plants and animals such as the Burmese python from the park.
Environmentalists tell The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/1izcyb4 ) that Kimball was easy to work with and saw the big picture about Everglades restoration.
The deputy director of the park service's southeast region will serve as acting superintendent.

audio device isn't set as default, can't make it default
Hi all, Windows 7 Home Premium x64 on HP-DM1-4050us laptop, disabled a couple of unneeded services, now headphones not working, no idea which service caused this but I didn't touch either of the two required audio services (Windows Audio, Windows Audio Endpoint Builder).
Audio now plays fine through speakers, but plug headphones in and it's mute. Headphones work fine with other audio devices like my phone, though. Triple checked I'm using the right jack and plugging in completely.
I ran the Audio troubleshooting wizard, and it appears the problem is that there are two devices, "Speakers and Headphones" and "Communications Headphones", and the former is the default audio device, the latter is the default communications device, when the latter needs to be both.
However, right clicking the latter device and hitting "Make Default Audio Device" has no effect, the former option remains the default audio device. Anyone know what the problem is here, why the default audio device can't be changed, or what windows service could have anything to do with this (besides the two primary audio services)?

So instead of trial-and-error restoring each service I disabled, restarting after each and testing headphone sound, I just restored Windows 7 from a recent disk image instead (like a 1-day old image, so nothing was lost).
Headphone sound now works again, and I've learned my lesson about fiddling with services, for now at least. But fwiw I'm 99.999% certain this breakage was caused by me disabling a service that has some non-obvious connection to the headphone sound.
Fwiw here's the list of services I disabled. It's a list for Windows XP, so I disabled most of the ones that were identical on Windows 7 and ignored the others. One of them broke my headphones. (and here's a better list with explanations of each service, which might help troubleshoot which one affected headphone audio).
Even when broken, the Audio control panel could recognize when headphones were plugged in or removed, and changed state to reflect that. And it could play sounds on the headphone channel, as evidenced by the sound Tests actually causing the sound bar for the headphones to fluctuate. But it just didn't actually make it to the headphones.
Anyway, hopefully anyone else who comes across this looking for a solution might be able to investigate this as a services issue and find the solution. But best solution ime is, keep regularly updated full disk images that you can restore to.

Update: Broken again, same problem. After getting it working, restarted the computer later, and problem is back. Uhg. Wtf.
Only thing I can think of is an automatic Windows Update broke the driver. Unfortunately I uninstalled the IDT device driver to see if Windows would reinstall a working one automatically (as another forum suggested), before realizing I should have tried rolling it back first.
If I can't find a solution, will reinstall the image and disable all Windows Updates to see if that prevents a regressed driver from installing over a working one.

Windows 7 Pro. 64/SP-1
Welcome to the Windows 7 Forum. Glad you got things working now kurtosis. I would like to mention a few things that might help you later.
The tweaking days we all did with XP are gone. Windows 7 is a different operating system and doesn't like most tweaks or need them. For 99% of us tweaking Windows Services is a no no. Some how they intermingle with other services that are not obvious to mortals. Using 3rd party programs to tweak or tune up Windows 7 are also not wanted or needed by Windows 7. If you do get another want or need just start a thread and ask. There/their will be someone who will be able to help in most cases. Don't forget we have some of the best Tutorials for Windows 7 you can find anywhere on the net. (At the top of every page).
This post of course is my opinion and intended to help you on your way to happy computing using Windows 7.

You know what ... I'm experiecing the same problem and it's getting on my nerves. I could fix it prevously by plugging and un-plugging the headphone ... today it doesn't solve. Both headphone and internal speaker of my laptop playback the audio at the same thing when it should have been only headphone when headphone is plugged. The similarity between my system and yours ... win 7, and that lousy IDT Independent (RTC) headphone. This is so frustrating when I needed to do a recording by tonight, ... sigh.

Why have one off-hand benefit when you can have many?
Why Juggle?
Through Juggling you can obtain the benefit of many items that are traditionally used in the off-hand slot. For instance you can switch an off-hand item in response to attack to give you +2 to all defenses(aversion staff). There are many options - defensive, offensive, and misc bonuses.
Bob have sets of items that he can freely switch around to accomodate for certain circumstances:
Initiative Items: Orb of Nimble Thoughts (+Int to initiative) and Quicksilver blade(+1 to initiative)
Offensive Items: Main Implement and Staff of the war mage
Defensive Items: Aversion Staff and Orb of Mental Constitution
So Bob walks around with his initiative items. Once his turn starts he switches his items to his offensive items. And at the end of his turn or at the beginning of an enemies turn Bob switches to his defensive items.
Lets Assume bob went first (very likely if you optimize for it) and was able to cast Dishearten or Winged Horde on a group of 4 enemies. At the end of his turn bob switches to his defensive items and now has +2 all defenses vs all 4 enemies(24 ac, 18 fort, 24 ref, 24 will). And if any enemy attacks his fortitude or AC he can swap in his Will as the defense. Now for any enemy that was not hit Bob does not have a bonus to defenses. If bob misses most enemies it might be wise to switch out aversion staff for rhythm blade or staff of defense.
Bob is also able to have other items that can benefit him. For instance he carries a staff of resilience that allows him to gain tHP.
Methods of Drawing and Stowing as a free action:
I assume Arcane Familiar is taken as it is the only true, at-will, unlimited item swapping in the game. Other options exist below for less flexability, but still able to do the trick
Arcane Familiar (AP): Requires an arcane class. The disembodied hand familiar (and it's paragon upgrade, the Rakshasa Claw) offer the only true, at-will, unlimited item swapping in the game. At any time, as often as you want, draw or stow an item, implement, or weapon (arguably not weapon), enabling scenarios like this one:
Clever Tail (PHB:T): Requires tiefling. Once per round, draw or stow an item weighing up to one pound. The once per round limit allows quick access to one-shot items (which can be dropped as a free action to free up your hand. If you can't pick them up again after combat, you're dead anyway.) But the one pound restriction limits you to drawing daggers, wands and tomes.
Quick Draw (PHB): Requires DEX 13. No limit to how often you can use this, but it's restricted to drawing items "as part of the same action in which you use them." That means items with passive properties are out, but it also means it's incredibly useful for off-turn powers, as you can draw an item as part of the immediate action required to activate it. Nice alternative for non-arcane classes.
Fast Hands (PHB3): Requires training in Thievery. You can pick it up as your level 2 utility, or through the Skill Power feat. Lets you draw or stow anything as a free action, but it's limited to once a round. Some careful planning can mitigate this, but it makes it difficult to use items with passive properties.
Mage Hand (PHB): Wizard cantrip. Allows swapping of an item in hand with a stowed one as a minor action. Can be useful if you've got your hands full.
Palming Strike (Dr389): This Rogue at-will lets you draw an item as a free action when you hit with the otherwise unremarkable standard action attack. I can't imagine any Rogue that would burn one of their at-will choices on this.
Quick-Draw Trick(MP): The level 12 utility of the Avalanche Hurler paragon path for Rangers. Allows unlimited, at-will drawing and stowing of weapons only. Nice power, but who would burn a paragon path on this? I don't know if paragon paths count as classes, but it would be interesting poach bait for a paragon tiefling with Secrets of Belial.
Prison of Salzacas (2, AV2, Wondrous Item): Once per encounter, cast Mage Hand. Cheap and slotless, but not always useful.
Battle Harness (4+, Dr368, cloth, leather, hide): Unlimited drawing of weapons or items. Tossing them aside as a free action when you're done with them seems thematic. Also a useful boost to initiative, though it doesn't stack with a Warlord.
Hedge Wizard's Gloves (4, AV1, hands): At-will Mage Hand, but it takes up your hand slot.
Deep-Pocket Cloak (7+, AV2, neck): Draw or stow as a free action once per round. Takes up your neck slot and doesn't offer much else.
Bracers of Speed (13, Dr386, arms): Draw or stow once a round. Takes up the coveted arms slot.
Dantrag's Bracers (18, Dr386, arms or feet): You'll have to ask your DM for these unique Bracers of Speed. They're expensive, but you can wear them on your arms or feet, The feet power is very nice, especially coupled with a Staff of the Traveler. The arms power is great for E-classes and MBA-focused characters.
Who is this guide for?
This Handbook will use the following system for ratings:
Red - Garbage, or completely overshadowed by another option.
Purple - Situationally useful, but overall pretty meh.
Black - OK. You could do worse than pick this.
Blue - Good stuff. You probably want this.
Sky Blue - You want this. Period.
Gold - Why haven't you taken this yet? A defining choice for a build, or even the whole class.
Current implements "complete":
- Orb
- Rod
- Staff
- Tome
- Wand
- Most weapons
Weapons need not be proficient.
To use the powers and the properties of a magic implement, you must be able to wield that implement.
phb2 pg220, phb3 pg219
See Also:
Rules Compendium 274: "Unlike Weapons, an implement doesn't grant a proficiency bonus. Instead, an adventurer must have proficiency with an implement to use it at all. In the hands of a nonproficient user, an implement- magical or nonmagical- is effectively a bauble."
RC 283: "Because an adventurer must have proficiency with an implement to use it, an adventurer cannot gain an implement's enhancement bonus or benefit from any of the implement's other characteristics (such as properties, powers, and critical hit effects) unless he or she has proficiency with the implement."
Item Rarity
Most players play with the original rules of item rarity. The new rules would probably prevent you from getting any of these items so this guide assumes you use the original system like 95% of CharOp. Due to this you are limited to 1 daily item usage/day in heroic, 2 in paragon, and 3 in epic. I have labeled each item to reflect this. It will say 1/enc if it has an encounter power or 1/day if it has a daily item power.
Rules Disputes
Free Action Limitations
Based on the rule on Free Actions PHB pg267 this is RAW: You can take as many free actions as you want during your or another combatant's turn
More of this discussion can be had from page 3-6.
Free actions take almost no time or effort. You can take as many free actions as you want during your or another combatant's turn. There is an exception to that rule: A creature can take a free action to use an attack power only once per turn. Creatures don't normally have attack powers that can be used as free actions, but some powers and other effects grant the ability to use an attack power (usually a basic attack) as a free action. For example, a character might have two different abilities that let him or her make a melee basic attack as a free action when their respective triggers occur. If both abilities are triggered on the same turn, the character can make only one of the melee basic attacks during that turn.
In certain circumstances, the DM might decide to limit the use of free actions further. For instance, if an adventurer has already used free actions during a particular turn to talk, drop things, and use a class feature, the DM might rule that the adventurer can use no more free actions during that turn.
JRedGiant1 has made the argument:
This is further discussed by the dev team in the podcast here:www.wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4...
They say at 16:35 "The only powers in the game that can mess around with timing are powers with triggers, and the triggers basically tell you when you get to break a rule....because it doesn't say that (referring to the daily power of Dwarven Armor) you have to use this as a discreet action not interrupting other actions."
"So it can't take place in the middle of another action"
Though zelink551 made the arguement:
106458049 wrote:I would argue Mearls' grasp of the rules is below many of the CharOp regulars. And in the podcast when discussing just this topic, I felt they were musing, not talking about rules. Podcasts are at BEST RAI and not RAW. The only time I would use is when they are clarifying the post on the compendium about Divine Oracle, and that was an electronic error, not a rules publication.
There is an argument that drawing an item does not allow you to draw a weapon. Yet dropping an Item is not specific between weapon/item. Because of this I am of the understanding that
Retrieve/Stow an Item can get any item other than shields(including weapons).
Draw/Sheathe a weapon can get only weapons.
Any further debate is welcome, but that is seemingly the easiest way to read it, and will be the stance of this thread for now.
Draw or Sheathe a Weapon:
- Action: Minor Action.
- Requires Free Hand to Draw: The creature must have a hand free to draw a weapon.
- Ready for Use: A creature can take a sheathed or otherwise slung weapon and make it ready for use by taking this action
- Sheathed: A sheathed weapon in a sheath at the creature's belt or on its back, or otherwise slun out of the way so that the creature's hands are free to hold or manipulate objects
- Action: Free Action.
- In the Creature's Space: A creature can use this action to drop an item it is holding. The Item lands in the creature's space. (text about where it drops..)
- Action: Minor Action.
- Easily Accessible: A creature can use this action to retrieve an item from someplace on its own person, most commonly in a belt pouch or a backpack, or to stow an item in such a location.
Interpreting that RAW has 2 options:
Option #1:
All shields and weapons are items, use the higher most action for any conflict (IE: Shields are a standard to equip/stow, weapons are a minor, but can be drawn as items - the same way they can be dropped as items).
Retrieve/Stow an Item can get any item other than shields.
Draw/Sheathe a weapon can get only weapons.
Option #2:
All shields and weapons are items, so the shield and weapon rules are specific exceptions to the general item rules. So you can retrieve or stow an item as a minor unless it's a weapon or shield. If it is a weapon or shield, you follow the rules for weapons and shields.
Retrieve/Stow an Item can get any item other than weapons and shields.
Draw/Sheathe a weapon can get only weapons.
Option 1 makes more sense to me.
If it is RAW questionable here is a good argument for RAI Option #1:
58121678 wrote:The reason sheaths and thongs exist is because warriors needed a way to quickly access these weapons in a dangerous situation. In a fantasy milieu, wands and totems have the same need. I would absolutely houserule that anything that allows you to draw a weapon as a free action should be allowed to draw an implement as well.
In the end it's not definitive, but imo clear enough - at least by RAI if not RAW. Good enough for me.

By Stella Whittingham 01 Aug 2013
Thrilled with this little book. There are so many beautiful designs inside. The CD has all of them in black and white to use with any graphic designer program. I use PSP7 and they work fantastically with that.
I don't think I will ever run out of stitchery ideas for my projects, just using this book alone, because you can mix and match the designs using your graphics program.
You can't go wrong at this price too.
I'm going to buy all her other books too.

Tickling has a very mysterious and interesting history; who has not heard of Chinese tickle torture? Well how much of this tickling history is true and how much just myth and legend?
Well it is difficult to find records of the use of tickling throughout history so all we can do is to look at some probable evidence.
In art across Asia and into china there are depictions of what seems to be women having the soles of their feet tickled. However, this could very well be related to health and therapy; we all know that reflexology is used today as an effective treatment.
The Chinese tickle torture legends may or may not have any real place in history. Apparently during the Han dynasty, tickling was used as torture and punishment and since it left no physical marks it could be used on nobility.
There is also tales of the Romans using tickling of the soles of the feet as a punishment. The victim would be placed in stocks and would have salt water or even honey rubbed into the soles of the feet. Goats would them be lead to lick the salt or honey from the soles causing intense tickling. Over time this would lead to seizures, madness or turn more painful with the constant abrasion of the soles.
Colonial America apparently used the stocks to punish and humiliate; this would then turn to inevitable foot tickling once the victim's feet became bare.
How much of this is actual fact or how much of this is merely self perpetuating legend? Again there does not seem to be any direct evidence of tickling as torture or punishment.
The media certainly does have information related to tickling. The Illustrated Police News of 1869 features an entry: 'A Wife Driven Insane by Husband Tickling Her Feet'.
This story featured a poor woman who was fooled into thinking that being tied to a plank would help her back problems. Once secured the husband made his wife's feet bare and then through prolonged tickling of the soles of her feet with a feather drove the poor woman to insanity.
The New York Times of 1872 also mention the stocks in 'old England' where the soles of the victims' feet would be tickled relentlessly.
Of course there is endless use of tickling as torture or punishment in cartoons, comics and so on. In fact Charles Dickens in the book: 'The Old Curiosity Shop', mentions the character Jasper Packlemerton in Mrs. Jarley's waxworks show. Mr Packlemerton was convicted of tickling the soles of the feet of the women who he encountered.
Tickling is a very interesting subject. The science behind tickling is still somewhat misunderstood and the historical documentation of the use of tickling is rather thin on the ground. I guess it really is a ticklish subject!
