Former 'Bachelor' Winner Shayne Lamas Is Pregnant
Lamas, who is the daughter of actor Lorenzo Lamas, is reportedly a few months along and is due on November 11.
"I'm really excited," said Richie, who is founder of the racy website The Dirty. He added that he loves his wife's new figure. "I didn't want it to get out until I was 100 percent ready for it, but at the same time, she looks beautiful and I think she should embrace her body right now."
Lamas, 25, won the season 12 of 'The Bachelor' in 2008, and was briefly engaged to 'Bachelor' Matt Grant before the pair split up a few months later.
The actress met Richie in Las Vegas in April 2010 and the pair married after knowing each other for just seven hours.
Grandfather-to-be Lorenzo Lamas is thrilled about the happy news.
"I'm speechless," he said. "I'm happy for them ... I want to be called Papa Lolo by the baby. It's easy for a kid to wrap their tongue around."
Lorenzo has something else to look forward to this spring. The 'Bold and the Beautiful' actor is set to walk down the aisle for the fifth time with 23-year-old fiancee Shawna Craig later this month.

they got married 7 hours after meeting? is that what it said??? THAT is not the sign of stable people with a strong marriage in their future. too many poor kids are born to whackjobs these days. they don't know what responsibility is because they've had just enough money to bail them out when they do stupid things but instability will damage kids no matter the money mommy may have. sad.

Hooks that hold 5 flower pots? Broward County area
Hello, I'm in the Fort Lauderdale area and I'm trying to find someone who sells those multiple flower pot holders. They're a single hook at top and they're about 5 feet long and have 5 rings that hold the flower pots one above the other. Any ideas? In Living Color is out of them and I haven't seen them anywhere recently other than at the orchid shows... which are over until May. Thanks for any suggestions.
A company in a Broward called Bactra sells them too. They are in Sunrise. (954-775-4990 and he's also online). His has an adjustable ring and it swivels.
He is supposed to be at Flamingo Gardens Garden Festival & Bonsai Show this weekend-February 22-23.
I purchased one from him for my baskets and so far so good.
Hi Joss-1, I normally buy the 5 ring holders from Wire Product Inc, in Fort Lauderdale

The most famous man out of Tallahassee, Florida, has been so busy working with other artists; it's easy to forget he has an album of his own. In case you are unfamiliar with the artist whose picture is to the left, crawl out a little further from underneath your rock and recognize T-Pain. Following two highly successful solo singles, comes Church. It isn't Kanye West-like (Jesus Walks) so no need to expect anything out of his range. However, with a catchy chorus and all the street cred in the world, expect Church to slowly become a hit. Epiphany, Teddy's sophomore album, is out in stores now.

A diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging study of brain tissue from patients with migraine
- 1Neuroimaging Research Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Scientific Institute Ospedale San Raffaele, University of Milan, Milan, Italy
- 2Department of Neurology, Scientific Institute Ospedale San Raffaele, University of Milan
- Correspondence to: Dr M Filippi, Neuroimaging Research Unit Department of Neuroscience, Scientific Institute Ospedale San Raffaele, Via Olgettina, 60, 20132 Milan, Italy; m.filippi{at}hsr.it
- Received 28 July 2002
- Revised 23 November 2002
Objective: To measure in vivo, using diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging (DT-MRI) the extent of pathological damage of normal appearing brain tissue (NABT) from patients with migraine.
Methods: Dual echo and DT-MRI scans of the brain were acquired from 34 patients with migraine and 17 sex and age matched healthy volunteers. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) histograms of the NABT were obtained from all subjects and the histograms' peak heights and average NABT MD and FA measured. When present, average MD and FA values of T2 visible lesions were also measured.
Results: In comparison with healthy volunteers, patients with migraine had lower MD histogram peak height (p=0.02) of the NABT. No differences were found in FA histogram derived metrics between migraine patients and healthy subjects. No difference was found for any MD and FA histogram derived metrics between migraine patients with and without brain MRI lesions, and between patients with and without aura.
Conclusions: This study shows that, although brain damage may extend beyond T2 weighted abnormalities in patients with migraine, the severity of these "occult" changes is mild compared with that found in other diseases associated with white matter abnormality.
- NABT, normal appearing brain tissue
- MD, mean diffusivity
- DT-MRI, diffusion tensor magnetic resonance imaging
- FA, fractional anisotropy

A new white paper: Jobs in the Asphalt Pavement Industry
The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) has released a new white paper, Jobs in the Asphalt Pavement Industry: A Profile of the Men and Women Who Build Our Nation's Infrastructure. The document highlights the varied jobs that are a part of asphalt road construction and the collective impact that the industry has on the rest of the economy.
The APA is a coalition of the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the Asphalt Institute, and the State Asphalt Pavement Associations
"While asphalt pavements serve a national market, they are built by people who live and work in the areas that they serve," commented Christie Barbee of the Carolina Asphalt Pavement Association, co-chair of the team that created the document.
"Asphalt jobs truly are Main Street jobs that cannot be outsourced overseas. Asphalt jobs are also green jobs, because asphalt is America's most reused and recycled material, and virtually every worker in the industry is involved in reuse and recycling in some way," she continued.
"The asphalt pavement industry is proud to support the people who rely on our country's infrastructure as well as those who have made the industry a career choice," said Patty Long of the National Asphalt Pavement Association, also a co-chair of the team. "With one-third of our nation's infrastructure in poor condition and construction unemployment at twice the national rate, there is a need to put people back to work preserving our infrastructure. This paper breaks down the industry by the numbers, to show the important role that workers in the asphalt and contributing industries play in the lives of all Americans."
The three-page document points out that an asphalt road could not be constructed without civil engineers, technologists, researchers, raw material suppliers, asphalt mix producers, truck drivers, aggregate producers, equipment manufacturing workers, construction equipment distributors, and many others who work behind the scenes. In addition, $6.2 billion of economic activity is generated for every $1 billion invested in federal highways.

August 2014 COTM Announcement Thread
- delys77 Jul 23, 2014 03:13 PM
Congratulations to Diana Henry as the votes are all in and Ms. Henry has won the day, we will be cooking from all of her works this August!
As per some preliminary discussion in the voting thread I am leaning towards selecting 3 or 4 of her more popular works, each of which will receive its own thread. In addition there will be a collective thread for her other works, and possibly a final thread for any online recipes not represented in her published works. If anyone has any feedback on this plan please feel free to share.
Otherwise please use this thread to discuss the upcoming COTM as we wait for me to post the links on the 1st of August.
In passing I did a quick search on EYB for Diana Henry recipes online and I came up with quite the haul, please see below:
Well done, Delys! What a headache that must have been for you. This month has been awfully good thus far and I think next month will be just as good if not better.
re: Siegal
Just to whet your appetite... a "Cooking From" thread:
I've been traveling and managed to miss the whole nomination and voting. Oh, well. I certainly can't complain about the outcome! Looking forward to doing some cooking from my Diana Henry books next month.
So, have the COTM and other tags (or whatever they were called) at the top of the Home Cooking board disappeared? Is there some easy way to get to the COTM announcement and nomination threads that I am overlooking?--Thanks.
re: nomadchowwoman
Another Chowhound redesign fail. Apparently, you mouse over the little "i" in a circle next to the "Home Cooking" board title, and it will give you the list of sticky posts, including the COTM nomination, voting, and announcement threads. You have to be visiting the "Site Talk" board to know what happened. Oh, yeah, user friendly. We'll be getting lots of new COTM'ers with this scheme.
re: Goblin
We probably all need to go over to the Site Talk board and discuss this, because I fear the new design will have a negative impact on our COTM participation. Especially for new participants. It would be a horrible thing to see COTM drop off just because people can't find the threads.
re: Gio
Yes because it is simply the wrong icon for the job. I do this for a living.... maybe I am not the best UI designer in the world, but at least I know to use universally recognized icons for universally recognized information.
In fact, the icons are the weakest part of the changes over the past week.
re: nomadchowwoman
Are the COTM threads up yet? Not sure if I just can't find them. I only use CH on my phone. Don't see an "i"? Thanks
re: Siegal
The threads will probably be put up on the 1st of August, less than a day away, so anytime now.
I use only a home pc, but I see the little "i" in a small black circle next to the headline "Home Cooking".
re: blue room
re: blue room
Thanks Blue Room, I am about to leave for a holiday so the threads will actually be up a bit later today.
re: delys77
As this is your last month as coordinator, delys77, I just want to thank you for your service and awesome organizational skills, herding all us cats and our nominating and voting. Have a lovely holiday!
re: nomadchowwoman
Oh it's been a pleasure, thanks very much NMC and best of luck to Qianning.
this recipe from her new book was on serious eats today
re: jpr54_1
Yum--I am now officially looking forward to it. My book is scheduled to arrive today.
re: jpr54_1
Several folks (including me) have made and really enjoyed this recipe, as reported in the cooking-from thread.
I want to note that there's quite a discrepancy between the UK and US editions of the with regard to that fresh ginger. I've *no* idea where that 2/3 cup measure came from; the Serious Eats post notes that it took about a pound of fresh ginger to get that amount grated(no wonder she found it overwhelming!), but I believe the UK edition calls for 2 ounces of ginger rather than a given volume. I'd love for someone with the UK edition to confirm!
re: Caitlin McGrath
re: Caitlin McGrath
can you give link to the cooking from thread-
found the link
what is the solution to the problem of the ginger?
re: jpr54_1
"what is the solution to the problem of the ginger?"
Not entirely sure about the problem you're referring to, jpr, but if it's that the ginger is overwhelming when one uses 2/3 cup, as the SE blogger suggests, then the solution is to use 2 oz, per the UK version of the book, instead of 2/3 cup grated.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Thanks! I didn't realize there was already a "cooking from" thread. That will surely help me choose recipes.
re: nomadchowwoman
The cooking-from thread has been very active, though most reports are from her prior books (and who knows, they may tempt you!). There are several reports from A Change of Appetite closer to the bottom of the thread.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I finally (about time) gave in and bought Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons. Your posts, Caitlin, have had me chomping at the bit for it for a while now, and I figured now that there is a DH COTM it was time. I'm enjoying reading it, and think I'll find a lot to make in it.
That said, I highly recommend Pure, Simple Cooking for those who like quick, tasty dinners.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Very interesting; and timely. I made my first recipe from this book the other night and the accompanying mango salsa called for "1-1/4 cups peeled and grated ginger root." Overwhelming was just the word I used to described it, to say nothing of having difficulty figuring out exactly what the instruction was supposed to mean. Do you have the UK version? I wonder if it has a different measurement.
re: JoanN
OK, the UK version of that recipe calls for 2 cm of ginger for the pork chops, and 120 g (4.5 oz) for the mango relish. That's quite a lot of ginger, but I have a hand in my fridge that is just over 120 g, and I can't really see it it being 1.25 cups if it were grated. Maybe half that. This is why I always try to buy the UK version of any book from a UK author. I don't trust the editors to make those conversions as well as I can. Or, in my case, I don't really make the conversion at all, as I have a scale.
re: The Dairy Queen
I've cooked something like 16 different dishes (and repeated a few) from Pure Simple Cooking, which is the US title of Cook Simple, and haven't run into any apparent issues. I think there have been a few less-successful recipes reported on the cooking-from thread, but that discussion has revealed that it was most likely the fault of the recipe rather than a conversion problem.
I will note that PSC is published by 10 Speed Press, while the other US editions of Henry's books are published by her UK publisher, Mitchell Beazley. I've made five or six things each from the other two books I have, Crazy Water, Pickled Lemons and ACOA. Notably, the US edition of CWPL (which is one of her earlier, perhaps even her first book) has relatively minimal conversion - the obvious ingredient terms are changed (e.g., cilantro and eggplant from coriander and aubergine) and the ingredients are listed by weight rather than volume, but US standard rather than metric - whereas they've gone for wholesale conversion in ACOA. As far as ACOA goes, the first recipes I made, including the Japanese Ginger and Garlic Chicken for which I noted the discrepancy upthread, were from online sources that reprinted from the UK edition. I didn't have any issues with the few other recipes I've made from the US edition, and I haven't seen anything other than the volumes of ginger in these two recipes that raised an eyebrow as I've perused the book, but I think I'll be reading closely and seeing if I can find UK versions to compare online in the event it's not just a ginger issue.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Like Caitlin I've cooked quite a bit from Pure Simple, and a few things from ACoA. Having kept up with the cooking from thread I knew in advance about the ginger problem in that one recipe, and I have to say, it is the only problem I've encountered.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Thank you Caitlin! As always, I appreciate your thoughtful response. I feel reassured. If there are any other problems, I'm sure they'll come out during COTM as these books will be subject to a lot of scrutiny! It's interesting how her books seem to have evolved in terms of how far they've gone to convert them
I own ACOA & Pure Simple and will probably start with the "cooking from" thread when I choose recipes. I've been intrigued about her books for a long time, notably the winter one (Roast Figs and Sugar Snow).
How would you say CWPL compares to some of the other COTM's we've tried like Arabesque or TNBoMF or Ottolenghi in terms of premise?
re: The Dairy Queen
TDQ, apologies for missing your question about CWPL. I'll come back and post later today.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Well, MelMM noted a pretty hefty conversion error in Salt, Sugar, Smoke: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/9843...
So it appears that, while the errors are not universal, there may be more of them lurking. I'm more inclined to agree with Mel now about defaulting to the original versions of UK books unless I'm confident in the publisher/author combination track record for conversions, and will look for online comparisons if anything looks questionable in ACOA (luckily, it had a ton of press and excerpts run when it was released).
re: Caitlin McGrath
I have all the books in the UK version and am more than happy to field queries.
re: greedygirl
I really appreciate that GG. Problem is, you don't know it's a problem until after you've made the dish. But I will be sure to query from here on in if anything sounds a little screwy to me when I first read through the recipe. And I must say, just reading the recipe I ended up making should have sent up red flags.
re: greedygirl
Or it could just be that the rest of the English speaking world can function if need be in both metric and imperial whereas most of the cooks in the US cannot. Shame.
re: greedygirl
re: Gio
Seems to be just with the ginger. At least so far. Perhaps because I spent a few companies' time and money making sure conversions were correct, it really aggravates me when they're not. There's just no way "60g (2oz) ginger, peeled and finely grated" translates to "⅔ cup peeled and finely grated ginger root." They didn't even have to rewrite that one; just delete the 60g and all would have been fine. Aaargh!
re: JoanN
I hope that'll be it for ACOA, but errors are coming to light in other books; as I mentioned in a post above, MelMM identified another large discrepancy, in the harissa recipe in Salt Sugar Smoke, where the UK ed. calls for 100 ml (about 3.4 fl oz) olive oil, and the US ed. calls for 1 1/4 cups (12 oz, or almost 3x the original).
re: Caitlin McGrath
That's just inexcusable. They didn't even look at a chart for that one. This is going to make me wary of all North American editions of Mitchell Beazley books. Must, must, try to remember to buy the UK version if one of their books becomes COTM again.
re: jpr54_1
Thank You!
re: jpr54_1
My son needs to know what are the titles of books with problems, names of recipes, and pages with the problems in each of the books
re: JoanN
I'll be interested to hear what, if anything, you hear back. I hate that US publishers' insistence that US cooks can't/won't deal with weights becomes a self-reinforcing mechanism. In the case of conversions of books originally using weights, they could just as easily add volume but retain the weights. That's the way 10 Speed Press handled the US edition of Jerusalem; it has volumes and weights given in both metric and standard. Instead, we get sometimes get faulty conversions - presumably based on someone looking at charts, not actually testing - that consumers discover when the recipes simply don't work.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Couldn't agree with you more.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Agree, and I love the weights/measures in the us edition of Jerusalem. I wish all cookbooks did it that way.
re: JoanN
Unfortunately I bought both P.S. and ACOA used, which makes them harder to return. I'm still tempted, though, to ditch them and buy the UK versions. The problem is, the month has started and it will take them time to arrive. I suppose I could cook from my US version in the meantime and ditch them after the UK versions arrive. Seems almost pointless then.
re: The Dairy Queen
I wouldn't ditch the US version of PSC. A bunch of us on the cooking-from thread have cooked extensively from it without finding any issues. But as I mentioned, it has a different publisher. It seems the conversion problems lie with the books from Mitchell Beazley.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Good point about the different publisher.
re: The Dairy Queen
I haven't had any problems with Pure Simple and I have the American version. In fact I *love* the book and have used it quite a bit for tasty, fast dinners.
re: LulusMom
Me too.
re: LulusMom
I wouldn't ditch the US version of Pure Simple Cooking, either. I'm in agreement with the posters who really like PSC and have had good luck with its recipes.
