The Rocket has still got it
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- So you play on a team with a bunch of Lexus-driving, Italian-suit wearing millionaires, and you've just pounded a bunch of high schoolers and washed-out minor leaguers by a score of 17-0 before a sellout crowd and a national TV audience.
What's next: a gold medal in the lint-flicking Olympics?
Under typical circumstances, the Team USA players would have regarded their blowout win over South Africa on Friday with more sheepishness than satisfaction. But consider the alternative: After losing to Canada earlier in the week, the Americans spent a day on the verge of being eliminated from the World Baseball Classic just as it was beginning.
"I'm telling you, it was horrible waiting around," said Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee. "I didn't want to go home. I told my agent, 'If we lose, I'm moving out of the country.' "
As the Americans prepare to face Japan in the opener of Round 2 on Sunday in Anaheim, certain truths are self-evident. For starters, the USA players here really care about representing their country well and putting on a good show. But while the Dominicans, Venezuelans and other WBC competitors are looking sharp in the aftermath of winter ball, many of the American players are in typical spring training mode.
Arm strength is evolving. Bat speed is a work in progress. And the body just isn't ready to do what the mind and the instincts tell it to do.
"These guys are nowhere close to where they're going to be by midseason," South Africa pitching coach Lee Smith said of the Americans. "I watched [Alex Rodriguez] run, and he looked like me running the bases. I thought, 'Damn, he's hurting, man, but he's going out there.' That showed me something."
Friday's game promised to be the mother of all mismatches. The South African squad, made up almost entirely of amateurs, represents everything that's heartwarming and wholesome about baseball on the international stage. Baseball doesn't compare with cricket or soccer in Cape Town and Johannesburg, and the South Africans have grown accustomed to the role of scrappy underdogs. Manager Rick Magnante prepped his club for the big tilt with Team USA by showing the inspirational hockey movie "Miracle" in the clubhouse.
"You can be in awe," Magnante said, "and to a degree our guys probably were. They haven't seen as talented a team as this in their lives, and they probably never will again."
The running joke was that the South Africans had to be prepped on proper baseball etiquette before facing Team USA. They were warned about dawdling as they stepped in the batter's box against USA starter Roger Clemens, and told to refrain from autograph hunting at the park.
Every Clemens appearance is thoroughly scrutinized these days, given the persistent doubts about his post-WBC agenda. Nobody knows for sure if the Rocket will pitch in the majors in 2006, and if so, where he'll sign and when he'll decide. Just to add to the suspense, Clemens paid a visit to the Texas Rangers camp in Surprise, Ariz., on Thursday.
The South Africa game did prove one thing: The Rocket is still adept at pitching with a lead.
South Africa's outfielders play so deep, they could have walked to Mesa. And the American lineup spent the better part of two hours either dumping balls in front of them or hitting it where no one could reach it.
In the first inning, Lee hit a wind-driven homer and Team USA took a 4-0 lead. In the second inning, Ken Griffey Jr. hit a monster homer and the Americans extended their advantage to 10-0. Griffey finished with seven RBI on the day.
Fast-forward through the gory details, and Team USA did enough hacking off four South Africa pitchers to force the five-inning, 15-run mercy rule to go into effect.
Clemens pitched with admirable precision against the inexperienced South Africa lineup. He spotted his fastball, mixed in some crisp splitters, and exhibited superb control. He struck out six batters, didn't walk a man and churned through 4 1/3 innings in a mere 58 pitches.
South Africa's only hit was a single up the middle by Nick Dempsey, a 6-6, 260-pound first baseman who advanced to high Class A ball with the Indians organization before injuries sent him home to Johannesburg. He's now working toward an economics degree and coaching baseball in an attempt to help promote the game in his homeland.
Before Friday's game, Dempsey's most memorable hit was a homer against Korea in the Olympics. The shame of it is, no one bothered to retrieve the baseball from his single against Clemens.
"I was a bit shy to ask for it," Dempsey said. "And I just wanted to make sure I touched first base."
The best and most insightful Clemens testimonials these days come from former teammates who remember him as a 25-year-old pup with the Red Sox. Smith, baseball's career saves leader, played with Clemens in Boston in the late 1980s, and he still regards Clemens and Cal Ripken Jr. as the hardest-working teammates he ever had.
" | It's the same old thing with Rocket. Hitting the corners. Punching guys out. Being hard on himself when he misses by a little bit. You'll see the guy make a perfect pitch and he's like, 'Man, I want to make a better pitch.' He's never satisfied. " | |
— South African pitching coach Lee Smith |
"It's the same old thing with Rocket," Smith said. "Hitting the corners. Punching guys out. Being hard on himself when he misses by a little bit. You'll see the guy make a perfect pitch and he's like, 'Man, I want to make a better pitch.' He's never satisfied."
Former Red Sox starter Bruce Hurst, now pitching coach for the Chinese National team, was in the stands at Scottsdale Stadium and marveled at how Clemens maintains his competitive drive at age 43.
"You looked at Roger then and you knew he was special," Hurst said. "But it's hard to imagine a [341-game winner] with more than 4,500 strikeouts. You're probably looking at one of the two or three greatest pitchers in the history of the game."
When Clemens walked off the mound after his 4 1/3 innings, the crowd of 11,975 stood and cheered, and the Rocket removed his cap and waved it in acknowledgement.
In light of the competition, the performance doesn't exactly rank at the top of the Clemens career highlight reel. The good news is, the Rocket has some baseball in front of him. He's not the only one who's grateful for that.

Re: Vatas Shadow Pridus: The Story
Chapter Seventy-Seven: Double Tag Team! The Vampire Mistress versus Vatas and Rose, and Patty versus the Marines!
: I'm feeling pretty good today, due to the fact that I got some good grades on my report card. Yep, all As except for one B+ and another regular B. Seems pretty good to me. Another note, the Q & A Section should start a couple of chapters after this one, so make sure to send in your questions! Anyways, here's the new chapter!
Vatas slowly unsheathed his long katana as Rose smiled. Now broken out of the paralysis from Miranda, she was now holding her usual throwing knives. Glancing at Miranda, Rose quickly threw a lone throwing knife at her as Vatas began performing handsigns at a fast speed. "Mire Viento(Aimed Wind)!" Rose yelled, as a large sonic boom picked off when the throwing knife reached approximately ten meters from her and Vatas, now quickly gaining higher altitude as well as higher speed. "Ice Release: Ice Partisan!" Rose followed up, sending several spears of ice at Miranda, who managed to dodge it as the spears each half-buried themselves in the glass skyscraper behind her. Meanwhile, the speed of the flying knife continued to increase.
Speed Level: Mach 37.4,
Miranda quickly calculated as she promptly flew to the right quickly, dodging the knife. As the knife passed her, to Miranda's surprise, it started to turn, flying back as it was now aimed at her once again.
Mire Viento(Aimed Wind), its properties only my throwing knives to speed up tremendously as well as home in onto its target,
Rose thought as Miranda continued evading the knife, only for it to follow in pursuit of her. Miranda, in the air, then immediately took a sharp turn, avoiding the homing knife as she glanced to her left to see Vatas flying at her, his blade held high. "Not fast enough, dear!" Miranda commented, and with a slash of her
Banpaia Tsume
(Vampire Claws), Vatas was cut cleanly into segments. However, instead of blood flashing, Vatas then sparkled into a crackle of lightning, which Miranda managed to avoid.
Just as Miranda avoided the electricity, the homing knife approached her, only a few feet away. However, with a single slice of the
Banpaia Tsume
(Vampire Claws), the knife was cut into segments. Its power not broken, it collapsed due to the powers of gravity, quickly falling down below to the ground.
Now, Vat!
Rose thought as Miranda smiled and licked her sharp fangs. Then, out of the blue, Vatas jumped from behind, along with a clone. Both having used the ice spears from Rose's Ice Partisan technique as a foothold to reach higher altitude, each wielded blades. As Miranda seemingly remained unaware of the two, Vatas and his clone both swapped their katana's handles, now wielding it backwards.
Nitoryu: Acciao Chain Etoku(Two-Sword Style: Steel Chain Grasp)!
Vatas thought as he and his clone flew down, past Miranda, one on one side and the other on the other. Miranda licked her fangs once again as she glanced at Vatas and then at her neck, to see two silver steel chains on it, each connecting to Vatas's and his clone's katana. Quickly, along with Vatas and his clone, Miranda was pulled down too, as the silver chains quickly tightened.
"It was fun," Vatas murmured as he and his clone, along with the Vampire Mistress both smashed down into the debris and rubble down below.
__________________________________________________ _______________
"He's good," Yosuke muttered to himself as he glanced at the mass of water, gathered together into a water tornado. Eighty or so meters above to the water tornado, at its mouth, Patty's upper waist was visible. The water tornado, along with Patty was over three hundred meters from Yosuke. Standing on a blue-skinned grumbling tortoise, Yosuke then glanced around him, seeing only the sea floor filled with burning magma. Several meters away from him, Yosuke's subordinate, Waro stood on another identical tortoise as well, his summoning scroll out and ready. "Dammit, why did you have to summon us?" the tortoise Waro stood on complained to the two Marines.
"It's hot here.." the one Yosuke was standing on whined, uncomfortable with the hot magma that it was standing on. Patty meanwhile glanced down at the two Marines on the tortoises, as he said out loud, "You Marines have a minute and a half left!" As soon as he said it, the magma floor burst, releasing columns of magma, all heading towards the Marines. "You do this, and I'll buy you a month's supply of cookies." Waro suggested as the pillars of magma continued to shot up, closing more and more distance every second. "A year's supply, and we'll do it," the whining tortoise Yosuke was standing on said. "Two months," Waro bargained as the pillars of magma sped up. "Year!" the whining tortoise grumbled as Yosuke sighed.
"Fine, a damn year!" Waro shouted as the tortoises both grinned, or tried to at least. "You got it, Waro!" the tortoise Waro was on grumbled as heat under the tortoises both began to intense. Abruptly, both tortoises leaped, Waro's to the right and Yosuke's to the left, as two large pillars of magma shot out under the magma floor the tortoises were both on a split second ago. "They move faster than I thought.." Patty mumbled to himself, as he then muttered, "Bunshi-Bunshi no Magma Burst!"
Immediately, Waro's eyes widened as all of a sudden, as all the entire magma floor lifted, enveloping both Yosuke and Waro completely in the magma.

Create ONCE
3D Product Models
Kaon's interactive 3D Product Models (which look and behave exactly like the actual products) allow you to control your own unique product experience based on personal preference. Users have the ability to interact with photo-realistic virtual products, view integrated marketing messages, explore product options, functions, and features (e.g., remove components) and run animations demonstrating product workflow or processes.
3D Product Models are created ONCE, and reused everywhere by Sales and Marketing personnel without having to be re-formatted, re-created, or re-developed, allowing for a consistent customer interaction every time a customer encounters your product.
Product Storytelling
The Kaon v-Brief® product storytelling application lets you visually communicate even your most complex product story by immersing a 3D Product Model into its natural environment—from a network infrastructure, to a hospital, to an industrial worksite, to a geographical setting—showing how products operate together in a variety of real-world scenarios to solve customers' problems. By incorporating consistent marketing messages inside interactive experiences, together with video, collateral and presentations, you can better tell your product or solution story while creating a repository of all marketing and sales materials available to customers and prospects in a branded environment.
Marketing Challenges
In order to differentiate ourselves we must cost-effectively create a consistent and convincing product experience everywhere that Sales, Marketing and customers meet.
BUT… PowerPoint slideshows, videos and brochures aren't compelling enough, so prospects don't remember key product messages. Also, many customers want to engage with the products prior to purchasing.
AND… when I develop marketing content, I end up having to create something unique for each venue or piece of hardware – we just don't have the budget or resources.
Sales Challenges
In order to accelerate Sales cycles and close more opportunities, we must deliver engaging and persuasive product information, at a moment's notice.
BUT… products aren't always available for Sales demonstrations and can be very expensive to ship.
AND… even if a product is available, it's difficult to show how it works and I often don't have a product expert available to demonstrate all the product features.

I installed HistoryDL to save web pages that had been visited from the history list. I find I rarely use it because it is somewhat awkward. I wish it would do these two things:
1) Name the file with the title of the html page, if the file downloaded is html, and a title is present. Perhaps it could pop a window to enter a file name, with this being the default name, similar to how a bookmark is added.
2) I would like a way to save the page I am looking at in Safari, immediately, without leaving Safari.
Are there any other tools that provide these features?
Thanks in advance

Everybody loves a meringue- they're not just for the kids! A great treat for anyone following a gluten-free diet too (check the cornflour/cornstarch used is from maize. In Australia 'White Wings' cornflour is gluten-free). Tips for great meringues....ensure your bowls and beaters are totally clean. Use eggs at room temperature and be careful with your eggs- must have no egg yolk at all. If your choice is for a white meringue-keep your oven temperature low and leave the meringue in longer to cook if needs be. Makes 50 meringues or 1 large pavlova.

This feature is obsolete. Although it is still supported by browsers, its usage is discouraged in new projects. Try to avoid using it.
It is assumed you've already setup your build environment and cloned the repositories.
The following steps allow you to build - and run - B2G on your emulator. Do NOT run them as root.
$ cd B2G
$ make sync
Build the configuration for QEMU:
$ make config-qemu
Next, build the gonk backend and then the system itself:
$ make gonk
$ make
NOTE: if ./emu.sh - your emulator - doesn't run at first, you'll need to make it executable:
$ chmod +x emu.sh
Lastly, run the emulator:
$ ./emu.sh
NOTE: After cloning your repositories or making your build the first time, you can "clean" them - e.g. put them into the state so that the latest pull is the same as a fresh clone.
To do this, from your repo root:
$ make sync; git clean -xfd; git submodule foreach "git clean -xfd"
Alternately, you can try:
$ make mrproper

Plant Maltese Cross in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil. It tolerates nearly all soil types and short periods of drought well. As the "Maltese Cross" starts to come into bloom, the plant may need to be staked. Propagation: Seed can be started in a cold frame or greenhouse in early spring and moved outdoors after danger of frost has passed. For much quicker growth purchase pre-started Maltese Cross plants at your local Garden Center. Once the plants become established they may be dug and divided in spring. Potential pests ~ diseases: Rare.

Did you make one? I'm talking about New Year's resolutions, of course.
I'm strong enough to admit that I'm weak when it comes to resolutions. That's why I stopped making them years ago but our Lynn Crawford is never one to shy away from a challenge. I mean did you see the premiere episode of Pitchin In where she stays up all night babysitting 5000 chicks? Great TV. If you missed it be sure to watch the Poulet Rouge Chicken episode here. (l also love how red she gets when she's teased about the kind of PJs she wears! Hehe).
Anyway here's Lynn talking about her New Year's resolution! It's a good one.
Tell us your New Year's resolution? Maybe I'll feel inspired to make one.

VINTAGE WHITE BROOCH MILK GLASS PLASTIC HASKELL?Auctions by abfabvintage VINTAGE WHITE BROOCH MILK GLASS PLASTIC HASKELL? Vintage Brooch. Crisp white plastic, milk glass, or celluloid layered star burst pin or brooch. 20 white teardrop pieces surround a large and solid center cabochon shaped piece. Two layered, 20 tear drop shaped stones or plastic, celluloid makes up this gorgeous white flower shaped vintage brooch. Large cabochon shaped piece at center sits in a raised and thin gold metal bezel with 4 prongs to reinforce. Tear drop pieces emanate from the center piece. 2 layers of teardrop pieces: 10 surround the center piece bezel,10 float and are set in between each of the top row of molded teardrops. See images of the back. All are reinforced into teardrop shaped, gold metal bezels with tiny bezel like screw holes and in 2 layers. Even the gold metal back has a star burst shape. More than well made, fine jewelry brooch. First layer of white tear drops (10) soldered or molded to bottom part of large center piece gold bezel. Then reinforced underneath with the metal bar and bezel connected to a gold metal circular "wheel" at back. Second layer of 10 tear drops just has metal bars and bezels set into the back circular "wheel" as all one piece. Hard to describe so hope images tell all. Brooch closes with long gold metal pin and locking clasp at widest point across brooch. We have tapped and pinged, and even tapped to our teeth (no worry, we have disinfected lolol) the tear drop pieces and believe them to be Milk Glass, but we are not experts as they could be solid celluloid or plastic. We are more prone to go with Milk Glass with the glass like ping, but just not sure. Brooch measures: 2 & 3/8" across all around end to end 1/4" wide by 5/8" long teardrops 7/8" across by more than 3/8" high center cabochon 1/8" high sits from table top 1.5" long pin across back Condition is Excellent. No dings, scratches, or damage. We believe this to be an unmarked Miriam Haskell. Our Great Aunt had a lot of her pieces, including Monet, Napier, and Trifari to name a few. But we are just not sure. From our personal collection, not from an estate sale. Great Aunt willed us her collection back in the early 80's and the jewelry has been sitting protected in our velvet jewelry box. But of no use to anyone unless you wear it. Tfore, this sale. Beautifully designed and well made piece of Vintage jewelry that will last you forever. Looks great on your professional suit, or just pinned to your favorite dress or Retro jacket. Good Luck! We are finally listing out our Great Aunt's jewelry, so keep looking as we will more than gladly combine ship to save you on shipping costs. We do not charge extra for combined shipping as long as other items can be packaged into the same USPS Flat Rate Envelope which has a weight limit of 4 pounds.

"Stop having a boring tuna, stop having a boring life."
Oh, and you're gonna love my nuts.
I've been using Del.icio.us, the fabulous Joshua Schachter creation, as my linkrolling tool for a few years now. Although it can be a powerful tool for organizing and browsing through interesting URLs, I find I only use it for two things: saving links and displaying said links in the sidebar of Mike Industries. For that reason, there are probably any number of bookmarking services which would amply serve my meager needs.
One service that's caught my eye recently is the increasingly popular Tumblr. I have friends who run their main blogs off of it and others who just run one of their multiple blogs off of it. I still like hosting my own WordPress blog and would never outsource this to a hosted service, but at the same time, running all linkblogging activity through a service like Tumblr sounds appealing — especially considering I can then pull all of that activity into my main blog using something like WP-O-Matic.
The super nice thing about Tumblr is how simple the posting interface is. The "Share on Tumblr" bookmarklet the company provides does a pretty good job of automatically figuring out what type of content you're posting and treating it accordingly. In other words, if you seed from a YouTube page, the link gets posted as type "video" and is displayed accordingly. These sorts of interface niceties reduce the amount of work required to save links and thus encourage more linking activity. Both good things. The woefully inadequate "Press This" bookmarklet from WordPress just doesn't measure up.
So… a couple of days ago when I decided I wanted to migrate all of my Del.icio.us bookmarks over to Tumblr, I couldn't for the life of me find an automated way to do it. Tumblr has an import feeds feature but it is misleadingly named. It doesn't actually import existing feeds. It only adds your feed URL and then posts any new items you add afterwards. This does nothing to aid in the migration of existing content over to Tumblr.
Using a combination of the Tumblr API sample code and some code I stole from Greg Neustaetter, I created a PHP script which imports all of your existing Del.icio.us bookmarkets into Tumblr.
Warning: I am not a PHP genius so I know the code isn't pretty… but it works. It imported all 312 of my Del.icio.us bookmarks in under a minute.
In case you're interested, here's how to do it (caveat — you might want to do this on a fresh Tumblr account, just to be sure):
Voila! Del.icio.us-to-Tumblr migration in about a minute. Enjoy.
No matter what your political leanings are, today is a special day. Above is my favorite poster from the presidential campaign. It was beautifully illustrated and silkscreened by The Date Farmers to help get out the vote in Texas… complete with authentic Mexican Revolution motif. I believe this is the only known depiction of Barack Obama where he looks reasonably badass.
Really, really beautiful.
Great advice for when you finally find the time.
A fantastic app for prototyping your design work onto real world objects like billboards, book covers, and coffee cups. This seems like just as great of a tool for people learning design as it does for experts.

If you've ever suspected that most classical philosophy is a colossal waste of time, Paul Graham tells you why you're probably right.
Stephen Brill follows the money to uncover the pinnacle of corruption that is the U.S. Health Care system. A must-read article if there ever was one.

David Pogue proposes to his girlfriend by creating a fake movie trailer about them and then getting a theater to play it before a real movie. Beautiful and totally awesome.
If you're wondering what a excellent blueprint for a modern media company looks like, look no further than Buzzfeed CEO Jonah Peretti's latest email to his employees. In it, Peretti explains a lot of his company's virtues, the most important being a relentless focus on always providing what's best for the user. Vox Media (operators of The Verge) is the only other company I can think of which approaches this level of reform and execution.
I love this so much: a cross-referenceable database of cover songs, searchable by song or artist. Slowed down, acoustic covers — no matter the song — are so enjoyable to me that I wish it was a requirement to play one at every show. If you like them as much as I do, make sure to check out M. Ward's Let's Dance or Sun Kil Moon's entire album of Modest Mouse covers.
Take your pick of about 20 great quotes from this Daring Fireball article. My personal favorite:
The iPhone is not and never was a phone. It is a pocket-sized computer that obviates the phone. The iPhone is to cell phones what the Mac was to typewriters.
Challenges of Getting to Mars: Curiosity's Seven Minutes of Terror
The precision and innovation that is required for space exploration just blows my mind. I did not realize that Curiosity will have to basically land on Mars completely unaided by man, but it's so much more complicated than that.

'Mad Men's' Jared Harris still in shock over Emmy nodCelebrating his Emmy nomination for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series over a bottle of wine in Wales, Jared Harris - a.k.a. "Mad Men's" Lane Pryce - is metaphorically pinching himself. "It's still a bit of a shock actually," Harris told CNN. "The prognosticators would say … a bunch of people could have been in the dark horse slot," he added, noting, ["Game of Thrones' "] "Peter Dinklage is the favorite." [Spoilers after the jump!] 'Mad Men' cliffhanger: Will he or won't he?[This post contains spoilers for the June 10 season finale of AMC's "Mad Men."] As the credits rolled on the fifth season of AMC's "Mad Men" on Sunday, we were left wondering whether Don would remain faithful to his wife or succumb to the charms of a pair of comely young barflies. Before we get to all that, however, let's talk about how we left everyone. Are you there, God? It's me, Sally Draper[The following post contains spoilers for the June 3 episode of AMC's "Mad Men."] How did you commemorate Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee? Matthew Weiner & Co. celebrated by offering up the lone British character as a sacrifice to Her Majesty. I dare you to try and top that. Sally had a big night too, but right now it's time to pour one out for Mr. Pryce. Farewell, Lane; you'll always occupy prime real estate in our hearts for that one time you kicked Pete Campbell's a**. 'Mad Men': Boys behaving badly[The following post contains spoilers for the May 27 episode of "Mad Men."] Assuming you weren't overcome by the suffocating fog of testosterone that lingered over Sunday's episode, you know that it was the manliest show in the history of shows, with men doing macho, scumbaggy things without taking others' feelings into consideration. Let's talk about what went down. The effort to secure the Jaguar campaign was in full swing, and all (male) hands were on deck to help land the account. And because only dudes are capable of dreaming up slogans for cars – it says so in the Bible – Peggy was relegated to handling the firm's other business. She stood by as The Men were rewarded with cool stuff like a lobster dinner after an exhausting afternoon of chain smoking and mailing in lazy pitches equating Jaguars to mistresses. Who got scrooged on 'Mad Men'?It's Christmastime in New York and surprise, everyone's miserable! Well not everyone, exactly, just Lane. When confronted with jail time in the U.K. for failure to pay back taxes, he went to extreme measures to pay off his debt to Her Majesty. After persuading the firm's banker to turn on the ol' cash spigot to the tune of $50,000, Lane played off the influx of cash to the partners as a surplus and suggested the money be parceled out to SCDP employees as Christmas bonuses. 'Mad Men's' dysfunctional family Thanksgiving[The following post contains spoilers from the May 13 episode of AMC's "Mad Men."] This week's episode kicked off the 1966 holiday season and served as a reminder that families – whether nuclear or professional – are almost always rife with drama. We opened with Don putting together a portfolio of work to submit for a New York Times profile on "hip" ad agencies. In doing so, he realized how much of an impact Ginsburg's had on the firm's recent business. He was also impressed with Michael's pitch for a Pepsi product called "Sno Ball," but appeared just the slightest bit put out when the guys – Pete and Cosgrove – declared Michael's pitch funnier than his own, a play on the expression "a snowball's chance in hell." |

Hang tight!
Recipe by JEN14221
"I love dumplings. This meat-free version is very tasty. You can add a drop or two of half and half to the food processor with the edamame, if you have some, or one tablespoon of olive oil to make the mix a bit creamier. Substitute different fillings if you like. I've used ground pork instead of shrimp and edamame, and I recently made an all-veggie version with edamame, spinach, bok choy and mushrooms. Soooooo goooooood. If you use pork or other meat, you may need to increase the steam time (after you add the water to the pan) and additional minute or two. Shrimp cooks faster than meat!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup frozen shelled edamame (green soybeans)
1/3 pound large shrimp - peeled, deveined, and cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1/2 cup finely chopped bok choy
1 egg white
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 clove garlic, minced, or more to taste
1 tablespoon salt
2 tablespoons water
36 dumpling wrappers
1/4 cup peanut oil, divided
1 cup water, divided
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1 green onion, sliced
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
Great concept, but the seasoning is WAY off. I added 1/2 tbsp salt instead of a full and it was WAY to salty, had to throw them out. I also used low-sodium soy. Skip the salt in this all together. Also, the cooking time is also way off. Of course, it would help if the recipe said at what temp to cook the wontons on. After throwing the first batch out, I cooked the wontons on 60 seconds each side over medium heat and they were done. No need to steam them at all, the shrimp at this point are cooked all the way threw. Great concept and with the changes, could be a 4 star.
I don't know who changed up my recipe from the original but she is right - there is way too much salt. It should be a teaspoon. Also, the recipe reads to cook over MEDIUM heat on the stovetop. Read the directions carefully.

Directed by: John Frankenheimer
Starring: Robert Shaw, Bruce Dern, Marthe Keller, Fritz Weaver
File John Frankenheimer's Black Sunday (1977) under the "cinema of paranoia"—a kind of thriller sub-genre that was already sputtering to a close by the time this film was made. The tale—of an attempt by the Black September terrorist organization to kill thousands of Americans at the Super Bowl with a special shrapnel bomb, a deranged Vietnam veteran (Bruce Dern, of course), and the Goodyear Blimp—has started to be viewed as almost prophetic in our post 9/11 world. And the parallels are striking, if definitely on the fanciful side as presented here. Plus, I doubt very much that anyone involved with the film was trying to be prophetic or even issue a warning. The film feels too contrived for that, and movies that trade in paranoia for purposes of suspense are nothing new. Whatever the case, the results are something of a mixed bag—and one not helped by the film's behemoth two-and-a-half-hour running time—two hours of which are spent setting up the movie's big climax. This makes for a pretty slow-moving thriller. It's also one—in the scene where our heroes try to fasten a hook on the deadly blimp—that crosses that thin line between suspenseful and just plain tedious. And it's hard to deny—though there are those who do—that the ending suffers from an apparent paucity of budget. The effects work is just not convincing, and the biggest of the big moments is laughable and offhand in a way that's not just a budgetary problem, but one that suggests frank indifference. However, the acting is good—especially from Dern in his over-the-top mode—and parts of the film are exciting. But I draw the line at finding it to be any sort of a classic.
The Hendersonville Film Society will show Black Sunday at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 5, in the Smoky Mountain Theater at Lake Pointe Landing Retirement Community (behind Epic Cinemas), 333 Thompson St., Hendersonville.

I know epi's doing it, but what are your 5 favorite kitchen things?
This is to hard, but mine are:
1. Well-seasoned cast iron skillet (s)
2. Huge cast-iron Dutch oven
3. KitchenAid food processor
4. Electric griddle.
5. Microplane and other graters.
Epicurious has very few posts on this - figure Chowhounds will do better!
only 5? How will I choose? sigh........LOL
1. Griswold cast iron pans
2. Breville Smart Oven ( we use it multiple times a day )
3. Vitamix
4 meat grinder
5 pressure cannerhonorable mention to the deep freezer, Cuisinart food processor, juice extractor, sheet pans, zojirushi rice cooker and my Le Creuset collection and clay pots.
1. I splurged on the trinity of Wusthof knives after I graduated college - 6 inch chef's, 8 inch bread, 3.5 inch parer - and I am happy with that decision on a daily basis.
2. A set of pretty ceramic mixing bowls my mom got me from a local shop. They're white with various styles of scalloped edges and come in 4 different sizes. They look ridiculously beautiful holding the most basic of foods, and they're great for making cakes!
3. KitchenAid hand mixer. I'll probably register for a stand mixer when I get married, but right now the hand version is my favorite electric!
4. Extra Ingredients Measuring Spoons from Anthropologie: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/c... I can't get over how cute the painted flowers are!
5. My Silpat. Fits perfectly in my jelly roll pans and saves me money on parchment, while giving me perfect cookies every single time. My boyfriend says my oatmeal chocolate chip cookies taste better with the Silpat!
#8 large logo smooth bottom Griswold skillet and matching lid
ALL my All-Clad stainless steel saucepans (cheating! ;-)
My Wusthof Ikon knives
My 12 or so pieces of Le Creuset, all in bright, contrasting colors
And even though it's not fancy, my newish Frigidaire gas oven with continuous cast iron grates and a true convection oven BECAUSE ITS FINALLY GAS! Yay! I'm 54 years old and never, ever got to buy my own stove, before, outright. -
1. My wall of cookbooks (somewhere around 700, all cuisines, several languages, collected over almost 40 years of happy cooking and reading about same)
2. My workhorse 1985 Cuisinart DLC7 "Super-pro" food processor, now on its 4th bowl and 3rd lid/feed tube
3. The beat-up and homely Ecko kitchen spatula we bought so I could cook in my then-boyfriend and still husband's dorm room
4. A pistol-handle mug my mom bought me in the supermarket when I first started drinking tea, a nice warm brown and beige pottery thing
5. My big bad beautiful beige fur friend kitty Liam, himself, always underfoot or looking on from his perch on the table and appreciative of the odd scallop or bit of nice rare red meat.-
re: Beckyleach
Becky, I don't know about you, but I'm having a lot of trouble storing all of mine. Now we're looking at adding built-in bookcases around the fireplace, because I have stacks everywhere. My three huge bookcases devoted to my cookbook collection are already filled. We have other bookcases throughout the house, but they're stuffed with other kinds of books. And we have a fairly small house. I love our home, but I have to admit to having fantasies of owning an english manor with a HUGE library where I would never have to worry about running out of room for our all books! :)
re: flourgirl
I have a perpetual BOOK PROBLEM in general, in fact. Since I homeschooled (Unschooled) my children, and since in My Former Life I was an Academic, and since I love the thrill of the library book sale, etc., I have books overflowing everywhere, and no $$$ to install decent, lovely bookcases. Instead, we have at least 15 saggy, baggy Walmart fiberboard jobs, looking ugly...and we have about five nice bookcases (including a glass-front old fashioned lawyer's model) AND I have--oh, ridiculous!--about 40 Rubbermaid boxes full in a storage shed, awaiting either total destruction via exposure to the elements, or my ship to come in and the financial wherewithal to build those floor-to-ceiling oak shelves I dream about.
re: buttertart
The last time we moved was 14 years ago - and my husband and I moved ourselves with the help of some friends. I remember how hard it was moving all the book-filled boxes THEN - and I hadn't even really started my cookbook collection at that time (or the pop-up book collection or the ...well you get the picture). I am NOT looking forward to the next one. But it's most likely at least 10 yrs down the road, so i'll worry about it then.
Becky, here's hoping your ship comes in sooner rather than later! :)
Seems to me that my answers are not what is being looked for....
1) Indoor plumbing
2) Refrigerator
3) Freezer
4) Oven with temp settings
5) Burner's/Cooktop with temp settingsMy mother remembers when they replaced the icebox with a refrigerator, my grandmother talked about stoking a wood burning stove, and my great grandmother used to have to go to the backyard pump for water. Perhaps I am taking the question too literally.
I'm a young guy just moving out, so I'm trying to get a lot of the basic type things. But, my favorites are:
1) My knives (Shun Chef's knife and MAC Santoku, mainly) - I use one or both every day.
2) Lodge cast iron skillet and enameled dutch oven - Love the dutch for stews, short ribs, etc...I'm still seasoning the skillet.
3) Spice cabinet - Inspiration everywhere...also used every day.
4) Book shelf - I have ~10 cookbooks and I like to try a new recipe every week.
5) Mini-food processor - I need to get a big one...that's probably my next kitchen purchase. -
I hate my kitchen, alas, but haven't managed to come up with money to fix it. But when I do, I'll come to CH first for ideas.
Ditto on most other posters' favorite things. Two things I can't do without are (1) My Solingen kitchen shears, for cutting everything, and going strong 15 years without a sharpening, and (2) my teakettle that has a mellow train-whistle sound instead of screaming at me! -
My knives, my pots, my pans, my hands, my cooktop.
Did you mean Singular items? Good Lord...
OK, this has nothing to do with how often I use something:
1 My Flint icing spatula that I use for cookie removal (since I was a kid! My folks had one). I just like the flex in it.
2 My scraper, the one with the rolled top and fits perfectly in my apron pocket, like it was a holster.
3 My 8" Ed. Wusthof cooks knife; I've had it since '82, its had more time in my hand than any other. These days I use a 10" and I feel like I've abandoned the tool that made me. :-(
4 My KitchenAid Mixer. Is it really a kitchen without one?
5 My spiral bound Joy of Cooking. New in '82 I'm the only one who has worn out it's pages.
There's over 300 things, er, 'tools' (ahem): calling out five favorites is almost mean. -
Silicone utensils, mainly the spatula and the basting brush, especially the brush it was a real omg moment.
Coffee maker
Digital thermometer / timer, my Thanksgiving turkey was never this moist before I owned one.
Good knife and my knife sharpener.
My bf, we have a I cook he cleans arrangement, but I think he would then immediately point to our less than a year old dishwasher. -
1. My pot hanger over my kitchen peninsula that keeps everything within easy reach.
2. Stainless steel French press for great coffee that stays hot.
3. Le Creuset dutch oven for lots of wonderful comfort food.
4. Electric breadmaker for easy homemade bread
5. KitchenAid stand mixer for too many things to mention-
re: BelleJo
My cast iron
Coffee maker I cannot live without, but I don't grind because I hate the noise
Nesting glass bowls--from huge to tiny
Wooden spoons
Silicon mitts, spatulas and brushes. Don't like the cutting "boards" or baking pans, though
Magnet knife holder. And I have some pretty good knives, too
Marble cutting board that I made from buying a tile and putting rubber feet on it.
My daughter's beautiful art work on my fridge
DISHWASHERPretty low tech.
1. Kitchen tongs I got from IKEA
2. Silicon spatulas (got on sale from Crate & Barrel cuz they had seasonal decorations)
3. Bodum french press (it does one thing, but it does it well)
4. Cheapo chef's knife I got for free with some Omaha's Steaks (it's really light in a good way and as long as I hone it every time, works better than anything I tried)
5. My red devil oven mitts (reach up to the elbow: I haven't burned myself since I got them a year ago, and I used to burn myself A LOT)
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?... -
I have to agree with flourgirl, I do love everything in my kitchen and it is also the heart of our home.
So let's see. I'm going to split this up into aesthetics and function, since it is such a beautiful room, that feeds my soul and that we spend so much time in.
1. My Lacanche range!!!
2. My 8" Kramer Chef's knife
3. immersion blender.
4. Le Crueset dutch oven (I use them ALL the time!)Aesthetics
1. My Lacanche range!
2. The view of our wooded back yard through the wall of windows.
3. The Blue Ridge and Jerusalem pottery I have hanging on the walls.
4. The shelves for all our cookbooks (it's an addiction).
5. Our beautiful cherry counters (which could also go under functional because they are tough! Although I do not cut on them.)-
re: VACluny
I have to do that too (actually architecture plus gear), because great gear in a bad space, or bad gear in a great space, would not be the same. There is some overlap:
The view of the pond and waterfall.
The high ceilings.
The many cabinets and all the counter space.
The slide-out shelves in lower cabinets.
The pot rack.Gear:
Gas stove (nothing fancy, but it's GAS)
Electric kettle (how did I ever live without this?)
I live in acloset nyc studio so myy current favorites reflect things that make my life easier
1. Hammacher Schlemmer bookcase that I use to pots, wine glasses, dried beans, baskets of dried goods and all sorts of things. I could not live without it since I have 16 inches of counterspace which is one cabinet
2. My antique tea cart. The wheels still work and i use it for dessets during Thanksgiving and to hold more stuff on an everyday basis plus it keeps my spirtis up because it reminds me I won't be living like this forever
3. Measuring cups and mason jars I use them to hold all my silverware and cooking utensils
4. My stainless steel pots
5. All my Silicon spatulas for the way they fold egg whites but can go straight into a hot pot. -
Do I have to use something often for it to be a favorite?
Pressure cooker
Electric kettle
Immersion blender
Poultry shears
Lots of small bowlsI would love to have a good knife, but I'm afraid I'll ruin it.
My mini food processor
My cast iron pans for sure
my stove top grill pan
my hand chopper for the counter, great for quick chops
My atomizer for olive oil-
re: karykat
I use both that and my hand counter chopper. When I need just some chopped garlic or a few nuts or just basil etc I use the counter chopper. Nearly not as good but convenient and quick. My mini chopper I use for 4 or 5 herbs, lots of garlic, nuts, peppercorns, allspice, lots of different things. Sometimes onions, herbs and a little olive oil when I didn't need a tons. Great for a quick dressing. Mix the herbs, onions and nuts then just mix with some olive oil and vinegar in a bowl. I saves alot of chopping in you have a lot to do. Dried fruit is good, many uses. I just don't always need the whole big processor. I was making chopped cranberries for a port wine sauce. Well a pain to chop so ... nuts and cranberries in a small foodprocessor and just blend. Easy and quick. Ive used it for much more. A quick blended 2 eggs for a froth and many many others.
re: karykat
Parsley, all herbs, compound butter, salad dressing, small amounts of anything that you don't want to hand chop!! I could go on and on!! If you leave it out on the counter you will use it, along with the larger Cuisinart food processor. On counter always is the only way they will be used!!
my five favorite are (very hard to choose five)
MAC 85 chef knife
Cuisinart food processor
Kitchen Aid mixer
After making the list I realized that the two most important, really, are the knife and my wonderful Boos cutting board!!
this is pretty hard, since everything in my kitchen is functional...
1. WMF De Luxe ceramic pepper mill
2. Shun 8" chef's knife
3. Faberware vegetable peeler
4. Kaiser "La Forme" 9" springform pan. Really high quality, good nonstick that doesn't scratch, cut, or peel after almost 10 years.
5. Calphalon "Simply Calphalon" 5 qt chili pot and 10" skillet -
These kinds of questions are so tough for me - I love everything in my kitchen, from my knives, spoons, spatulas, spiders and bench scrapers to my stand mixer and food processor, from my very cool collection of vintage flat-back cookie cutters made by Karen Dunwoody to my vintage seashell chocolate molds hanging on the wall, my collection of functional hand thrown pottery, the enormous maple wood bowl I use for bread dough, (and gigantic tossed salads for a crowd), the perfect little set of nesting lab-type blown glass bowls with pouring spouts that I use for dippers, salad dressing, gravy etc., the awesome lab-type glass beaker/pitcher/measuring cup I found at Marshall's for $4 that I use for everything from OJ to frothing my coffee milk in, my cast iron pans, my all-clad pans, etc. etc. etc.
I've collected my stuff over the last 17 years, very slowly and carefully, in terms of price/quality/functionality and aesthetics and the result is a kitchen that I get an enormous amount of pleasure and utility from. We're not rich people and we have a very modest home by US standards, but I think we've done a great job making our home a charming, comfortable place to live in and raise our son in, and our kitchen is both physically and metaphorically the center of our home and we love it.
re: kattyeyes
Hee hee, yes, it's an accessory. They're basically strainers, woven out of metal. Kind of like a small wire basket with a handle. They're great for pulling stuff out of hot liquid, like fried food, dumplings, pasta, veggies, etc.
1. VitaMix blender that cost more than we thought a blender could possibly be worth and has lasted for over 10 years of heavy heavy use.
2. Heavy duty lemon squeezer -- also gets nearly daily use especially during citrus season.
3. Immersion blender. It's not even a very good one, but I'm sure glad it's there when I need it.
4. Coffee maker and the husband who ensures that it is full of coffee when I stumble down the stairs.
5. The two teenage boys who love to cook.
1) a wall of floor to ceiling windows looking over my rose garden and with the Smokey Mountains in the distance. (It is the most important part of the kitchen)
2) KitchenAid Mixer
3) Double oven
4) Spoons, etc. hanging in back of the cooktop so I can always find what I need
5) Immersion Blender (thanks to Chowhound)
6) Bread Machine for controlled rising/tie with Exopat -
re: shallots
Wow! That sounds amazing! (And very inspiring.)
My kitchen windows overlook the backyard, which does have a lot of critters running through it, including the occasional red fox and coyote. Beyond that used to be a horse farm with rolling hills - and is now a development of $1M homes on rolling hills. Nearly killed me when it first happened - now I'm used to it.
Not including a good chef's knife and a good paring knife, which I assume are essential in any kitchen, here are mine, not necessarily in this order:
1. Heatproof rubber scraper/spatula with a slightly concave surface
2. Microplane graters
3. Immersion blender-don't use it often, but am sure glad I have it when I need it
4. A wooden spatula I use for practically any sauteing, frying
5. Tie between my big Le Creuset dutch oven and my large AllClad skillet--use both all the timeHonorable mention: Silpat or other stickproof baking sheets, blender, Cuisinart food processor, a gigantic stainless steel mixing bowl, a small cast iron fry pan for toasting nuts, garlic, chiles, spices, etc.
1. KitchenAid stand mixer (cobalt blue!)
2. Oxo Good Grips peeler (I used to hate to peel vegetables before I had this!)
3. salad mister (for olive oil)
4. Wusthof knife block
5. Gaggia espresso machineI love everything in my kitchen, too...and what "lives" in the sunroom right off of the kitchen since not everything fits. ;)

St. Louis, Mo., May 23, 2012 – The Washington University in St. Louis baseball team had three players named to the 2012 D3Baseball.com All-Central Region Team and three selected to the 2012 American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Rawlings Central Region Team.
Senior outfielder and pitcher Brandon Rogalski highlighted the honorees by being named to the All-Central Region first team by both D3Baseball.com and ABCA/Rawlings. Sophomore outfielder Kyle Billig also received all-region honors from both, earning second-team honors from D3Baseball.com and third-team honors from ABCA/Rawlings. Freshman utility player Chris Lowery was named to the D3Baseball.com all-region third team, while junior pitcher Stephen Bonser joined Billig on the ABCA/Rawlings all-region third team. In addition, Rogalski and Billig were each named to the 2012 ABCA/Rawlings Central Region Gold Glove Team.
Rogalski, the 2012 University Athletic Association (UAA) Player of the Year, broke his own single-season school records with 77 hits and 178 at bats in 2012. On April 24, Rogalski became the Washington University all-time hits leader, finishing his career with 216 hits. His 77 hits led the UAA and ranked third in NCAA Division III this season, and he also led the conference with 40 RBIs and 105 total bases. Rogalski also posted a 2-0 record with one save and a 1.84 ERA in nine appearances on the mound for the Bears. He posted a .992 fielding percentage with just one error in 120 chances this season to earn the Gold Glove recognition. Rogalski received UAA Athlete of the Week honors three times during the season, and was named to the D3Baseball.com Team of the Week on March 28.
Billig led the UAA and ranked fourth in NCAA Division III with 59 runs scored this season, which tied the Washington U. single-season record. He also broke his own single-season record with a UAA-best 35 steals this season, and ended the season ranked third on the WU career steals list with 69 in his first two seasons for the Bears. Billig finished the season ranked second in the UAA with 59 hits and six triples in 2012. He reached base in 40 of 42 games, including a 24-game hitting streak, while batting .362 as the Bears' leadoff hitter. Defensively, Billig finished the season with a .971 fielding percentage in center field, recording 94 putouts and eight assists in 105 chances.
Lowery was one of just two freshmen to make the D3Baseball.com All-Central Region teams, joining Warburg College's Blake Wilson. A second-team all-UAA honoree, he appeared in 35 games and made 26 starts at four different positions for the Bears this season. Lowery batted .359 with 42 hits, six doubles, two triples and two home runs, while also finishing with 25 runs and 18 RBIs. Lowery had 11 multiple-hit games for Washington U., including a career-best 5-for-6 in the Bears' win over Grinnell College on April 29.
Bonser earned third-team all-region from ABCA/Rawlings for the second year in a row. He finished the 2012 season with a 6-4 record and a 3.28 ERA in 13 starts for the Bears. Bonser threw five complete games and two shutouts during the season. A second-team all-UAA honoree, he ranked tied for fourth in the conference with 51 strikeouts in 79.2 innings. Bonser received UAA Athlete of the Week honors twice this season, and was named to the 2012 UAA All-Tournament Team in March.
Washington University ended its season with a 28-14 record and finished as the UAA runner-up. The Bears also advanced to the postseason for the eighth time in school history.

Testimonials from Staff/Faculty Campaign Contributors
Adele Henry
Executive Assistant to the Chancellor
"I participate in the Faculty and Staff Campaign because I believe in UM-Dearborn. The University has been very good to me for 39 years, and it makes me feel good to give something back.
As staff we represent the University in all our walks of life. If we as insiders support the campus and its mission, it is reflected to those on the outside. What a great way to let others know what a special place this is! <o:p> </o:p>
I first thought that the amount I could contribute would not be worth it. Why bother? But, I realized that if all of us contributed even a small amount to start, what a difference we could make for students needing scholarships and/or programs needing support. So, although I may not give large amounts, my consistent contributions, along with other contributions, do make a difference. Together we can be the large donor.
This is why I have given in the past, and why I will continue to give in the future!"
Al Turfe
Lecturer, Department of Mathematics and Statistics
"My parents inspired me to get an education and help people however I can. While teaching enables me to help students in the classroom, my contributions allow me to support UM-Dearborn and students in a more personal way. I like the high caliber of UM-Dearborn's students and academic programs and feel my financial support contributes to maintaining this high standard of excellence. This is why I donate to a variety of areas including the CASL Dean's Strategic Initiative Fund, a scholarship for CASL students, and more. As part of this year's Faculty and Staff Campaign, I will be directing my support to a new student scholarship fund in mathematics. Right now students need all the financial help they can get. Contributions to scholarships and programs really make a difference to the students."
Andrew Urbaczewski
Chair, Department of Management Studies
Associate Professor of MIS
"Last year was only the second time I participated in the Faculty and Staff Campaign in my six years at UM-Dearborn. Ive never been comfortable being asked by my employer to contribute through the workplace, but I enjoyed the ability to see firsthand how my contribution could make a difference. So, I decided to contribute to an existing scholarship fund. This year I agreed to serve as a campaign co-chair so I could get an even closer look at how the process works. Its interesting to see how my involvement makes a difference."

text: Definitely a keeper. Easy, quick, and made with pantry staples (at least in our house). I used canned diced tomatoes w/ jalepenos, black beans, corn (all drained), and whatever leftover taco shells (broken) and tortilla shells I had. We didn't have shredded cheese on hand, so we had to improvise with sliced cheese which totally blew any healthy thing we had going, but did make it extra creamy WHICH RULED! It was good served that night and as leftovers the following day. It's not pretty, but it's good :).
