Food Quotations
I wonder if the "HOUNDS" could offer up some inspiring and unique food quotations this Christmas Day especially for us bachelors and childless adults at home. Bored!
Let me start with the old adage that............ " Man can not live by bread alone"
I'm sure everyone here at Chowhound can agree with that but maybe we could make them
more controversial as well.
Sign on a Vancouver butcher shop from many many years ago. Don't know if it's still there.
"What food these morsels be"
re: margshep
The butcher may have got it from Irma Rombauer, author of the original Joy of Cooking. The intro to the book's sweetbread recipes reads: "To paraphrase Puck: 'What foods these morsels be." Of course, depending on how many, many years ago it was, Rombaurer may have lifted it from your butcher.
re: carswell
Reminds me of another quotation in a Joy of Cooking headnote:
Madame Schumann-Heink, the great opera singer, was sitting in front of an enormous steak. Caruso passed her table and seeing the huge portion of meat before the singer, he said, "Stina, you are not going to eat that alone!" "No," Schumann-Heink said, shaking her fine old head. "No, not alone. With potatoes."
Cucumber should be well sliced, dressed with pepper and vinegar, and then thrown out.
- Samuel JohnsonI'd ask you to stay for dinner, but I'm afraid you'd accept.
- Bette DavisThe idea of Prince Charles conversing with vegetables is not quite so amusing when you remember that he's had plenty of practice chatting to members of his own family.
- Jaci StephensHe is the same old sausage, fizzing and sputtering in his own grease.
- Henry JamesHe looks as though he's been weaned on a pickle.
- Alice Roosevelt Longworth, on Calvin Coolidge -
WAITER!!........... What is this fly doing in my soup?
I believe it's the backstroke, Sir
Anonoymous. -
Here are three favorites:
"I can resist anything except temptation." - Oscar Wilde
"It was a brave man who first et an oyster." - Samuel Johnson (though some claim Jonathan Swift)
"I say it's spinach, and I say the hell with it." - E.B. White/Carl Rose http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y30/...
No matter what shape your stomach is in (Alka Seltzer...1965)
If gum counts.
"I'm here to chew bubble gum and kick A$$. And I'm all out of bubble gum!!"
Rowdy Roddy Piper.DT
As I recall , Jack Nicholson had a great line in a movie. It was in a restaurant scene and he was having a hard time getting an order of toast from the waitress.
Does anyone know the exact quote?In another memorable movie scene which took place in a restaurant
In "WHEN HARRY MET SALLY" a customer orders after observing Sally do her fake orgasism routine."I'LL HAVE WHAT SHE'S HAVING"
re: fruglescot
The scene/quote is from Five Easy Pieces and goes like this:
Bobby: I'd like a plain omelet. No potatoes, tomatoes instead. A cup of coffee and wheat toast.
Waitress: No substitutions.
Bobby: What do you mean? You don't have any tomatoes?
Waitress: Only what's on the menu. You can have a number two — a plain omelet. It comes with cottage fries, and rolls.
Bobby: Yea, I know what it comes with, but it's not what I want.
Waitress: Well I'll come back when you make up your mind.
Bobby: Wait a minute, I have made up my mind. I'd like a plain omelet, no potatoes on the plate. A cup of coffee and a side order of wheat toast.
Waitress: I'm sorry, we don't have any side orders of toast. I'll give you a English muffin or a coffee roll.
Bobby: What do you mean "you don't make side orders of toast"? You make sandwiches, don't you?
Waitress: Would you like to talk to the manager?
Bobby: You've got bread. And a toaster of some kind?
Waitress: I don't make the rules.
Bobby: OK, I'll make it as easy for you as I can. I'd like an omelet, plain, and a chicken salad sandwich on wheat toast, no mayonnaise, no butter, no lettuce. And a cup of coffee.
Waitress: A number two, chicken sal san. Hold the butter, the lettuce, the mayonnaise, and a cup of coffee. Anything else?
Bobby: Yeah, now all you have to do is hold the chicken, bring me the toast, give me a check for the chicken salad sandwich, and you haven't broken any rules.
Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh?
Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.
The waitress then indignantly orders them to leave, to which Nicholson knocks the drinks off the table with a sweep of his arm.
With a little help from quotationspage.com...

re: eatnbmerry
A couple on-line comments on that famous frase:
Dear Cecil:
Did the French queen, Marie Antoinette, ever actually utter the phrase, "Let them eat cake"? I have a friend who claims that Crazy Marie actually said something in French that, in phonetic spelling, merely sounded like "Let them eat cake." Is the line in a class with Humphrey Bogart's "Play it again, Sam"--i.e., bogus? --Willie H., Chicago
Dear Willie:
I have a dream that someday one of these alleged facts of history is actually going to pan out. However, today is not the day. While Marie Antoinette was certainly enough of a bubblehead to have said the phrase in question, there is no evidence that she actually did so, and in any case she did not originate it. The peasants-have-no-bread story was in common currency at least since the 1760s as an illustration of the decadence of the aristocracy. The political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau mentions it in his Confessions in connection with an incident that occurred in 1740. (He stole wine while working as a tutor in Lyons and then had problems trying to scrounge up something to eat along with it.) He concludes thusly: "Finally I remembered the way out suggested by a great princess when told that the peasants had no bread: 'Well, let them eat cake.'"
Now, J.-J. may have been embroidering this yarn with a line he had really heard many years later. But even so, at the time he was writing--early 1766--Marie Antoinette was only ten years old and still four years away from her marriage to the future Louis XVI. Writer Alphonse Karr in 1843 claimed that the line originated with a certain Duchess of Tuscany in 1760 or earlier, and that it was attributed to Marie Antoinette in 1789 by radical agitators who were trying to turn the populace against her.
As for your friend's suggestion, I suppose it's possible that one day, while under the influence of powerful hallucinogens, Marie said Le theme est quete ("The theme is quest"), and was overheard by an English-speaking tourist--thus giving rise, as your friend suggests, to the "Let them eat cake" legend. But frankly I doubt it.
Dear Cecil:
Thank you for so nobly coming to the defense of the much-maligned Marie Antoinette, just as you did a few years ago with the equally vilified Catherine the Great. And now, as Paul Harvey would say, here's the rest of the story ...
At the time that whoever-she-was uttered the infamous quotation "let them eat cake," the word "cake" did not refer to the familiar dessert item that the modern-day French call le gateau. The operative term was brioche, a flour-and-water paste that was "caked" onto the interiors of the ovens and baking pans of the professional boulangers of the era. (The modern equivalent is the oil-and-flour mixture applied to non-Teflon cake pans.) At the end of the day, the baker would scrape the leavings from his pans and ovens and set them outside the door for the benefit of beggars and scavengers. Thus, the lady in question was simply giving practical, if somewhat flippant, advice to her poor subjects: If one cannot afford the bourgeois bread, he can avail himself of the poor man's "cake."
However, by the time Marie Antoinette ascended the throne, brioche had acquired its current meaning--a fancy pastry item which, like le gateau, was priced far beyond the means of any but the wealthiest classes. The anti-Marie propagandists were well aware that their compatriots, most of whom were uneducated in either history or semantics, would swallow the story whole, so to speak, and not get the joke. Bon appetit! --N.D.G., Chicago
Dear N.:
That's very interesting, N., but wrong. Brioche is a sort of crusty bun, typically containing milk, flour, eggs, sugar, butter, and whatnot. It's considered a delicacy, and as far as I can determine (which is pretty far) has been since the Middle Ages. According to one cooking historian, brioche originally contained brie cheese, whence the name. Nicolas Bonnefons, writing in Delices de la campagne in 1679, gives a recipe for brioche that calls for butter and soft cheese, plus a glaze containing beaten eggs and (if desired) honey. Sounds pretty tasty, and in any case certainly not something bakers would line pots with.
The quote qu'ils mangent de la brioche ("Let them eat cake"). There are variety of versions in terms of the circumstances in the popular culture (ranging from peasants coming to her gate begging for food, to her driving through Paris and seeing the condition of the peasants), where she said this in response to the peasants. However, the quote actually comes from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who comments that a "certain princess" said it, the supposed princess referred to being Louis XIV's queen, Maria Theresa of Spain. Her quote was S'il ait aucun pain, donnez-leur la croûte au loin du pâté, which roughly translates to "If there be no bread, give them the crust off of the pâté". Though the claim to the Spanish princess is also backed up by the Comte de Provence, it is unknown if she, or any other French queen, actually ever said it.[106]
re: RicRios
That's too funny.... I was reading the very same pages a few minutes ago. On another page it was stated that Maria-Teresa spoke those words, "qu'ils mangent de la brioche" 100 years before MA. In fact it was not as derogatory as it seems.
To quote from a Yahoo page: "At the time, French law required bakers to sell fancy breads at the same low price as the plain breads if they ran out of the latter. The goal was to prevent bakers from making very little cheap bread and then profiting off the fancy, expensive bread. Whoever really said "Let them eat brioche" may have meant that the bakery laws should be enforced so the poor could eat the fancy bread if there wasn't enough plain bread to go around."
re: fruglescot
Touche Frugle,
Here's two more literary ones for you Ric:
"No man is lonely while eating spaghetti — it requires too much attention."
"Philadelphia was the first city to foresee the advantages of a Federal constitution and oatmeal as a breakfast food."Both from Christopher Morley, Travels in Philadelphia
re: Motosport
During canning season, I once asked a teenage supermarket stock clerk if they sold Ball jars. Her slack-jawed gape told me she had no idea what I was referring to, so I said, "I guess you didn't know they are sold in jars", but quickly explained, as her expression changed to relief, that it's a synonym for canning jars.
Good work folks. Perhaps we can keep this thread going until "NEW YEARS"
..........Here's won by "Willy" with an ancient recipe thrown in for good measure...........
.......................... "Good worts! good cabbage."
—Shakespeare from Merry Wives of Windsor
Cut the cabbage in large pieces and cook until tender: change the water once. Pour off the water, and when perfectly cold chop fine, season with paprika and salt, and put into a saucepan with a cup of hot milk or hot stock. Cook till most of the liquid is cooked away; stir in a tablespoon of melted butter and the juice of a lemon, and serve.
First off:
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the iceboxand which
you were probably
for breakfast.Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold.-- William Carlos Williams
Whets the tastebuds. Then read any food writing by Jim Harrison. You'll find loads of obscure quotes. And delicious ideas for those less inclined to the niceties of the table.
Good stuff.
"Talk of joy: there may be things better than beef stew and baked potatoes and home-made bread -- there may be." ~ David Grayson, Adventures in Contentment, 1907
"A little butter never hurt anyone." ~ Julia Child
"A gourmet who thinks of calories is like a tart who looks at her watch." ~ James Beard
How about this one for a religous holiday

Well made and great color. Got the gray and it is dark (almost black) which is what I wanted.
The color is fine, but the material is quite thin and it wrinkles. It's OK, but I would not have purchased these cases if I had known of the quality level.
I purchased both the pintuck bedskirt and pintuck sham in navy, the colors matched perfect. I really like the detail of the pintuck as it adds texture to the look. Both products fit perfect. I purchased them to pair with the Vintage Jade quilt I also purchased from overstock. I am very pleased with the look. The weight of the fabric is fine; I just wish it was a bit more �crisp�. I did steam them to get the wrinkles out and that worked great, easier than ironing. I think it would be helpful to starch the fabric to give it that �crisp� look and will do so when I launder them. The quality of the sewing is good. I also like very much that the base for the bed skirt is fabric, which is much more durable.
Wash it and it shrunk a little bit in the back. However, I would still buy it since no sees the back anyway.
The charcoal color is pretty - but very dark. The fabric and the construction on this sham are very good. I have not washed it yet, but I'm confident I will have to iron these, thus they lost a star. :)
This is a perfect navy Euro, but with the additional detail of the pin tucks. OS carries perfect stuffers for these & has the bed skirt to match! A winner!
These shams were exactly what I expected for the price....which was great!

Article Archive: |
Legally Speaking - The brutality of the buzzI've often written in this column with my perspective on the aftermath of bike-on-car collisions. This week, I've got a different perspective to share - the perspective of a cyclist who was actually involved in a bike-on-car collision. On July 26, 2007, racers Diana Panchyk and Matthew Barrowclough were on a training ride when they were struck from behind by the mirror of a truck that passed too close. Fortunately, they survived the collision, although they both suffered serious injuries. Afterwards, Diana contacted me, and I assisted her in securing competent associate counsel in New York. Recently, Diana was kind enough to share her experiences with me for the benefit of Legally Speaking readers. This is an invaluable perspective for every cyclist, straight from a cyclist who has been there. This week, we'll be discussing Diana's collision and it's immediate aftermath. Next week, we'll pick up where we left off with a discussion of the issues Diana encountered as she struggled to recover. Virtually every cyclist, and certainly every roadie, has had more than one close call with a motorist who made too close a pass - sometimes unintentionally, but sometimes intentionally. Diana's experience has been no different: In 15 years of riding and racing, there were so many times when trucks and cars passed by just a bit too close. Sometimes they'd be so close I could feel the vacuum-like force that is typical of a large vehicle passing at high speed. It's amazing how easy it was to brush off all those close calls and keep riding, never really conscious of the minute difference that separated all those moments from the one that landed me in a hospital. Many Legally Speaking columns have addressed an issue that began with the cyclist being buzzed, whether it was "the birdman" exercising his constitutional right to express himself with a gesture, a college team prosecuting a driver who pulled a gun on them, or a Milwaukee cyclist battling to get law enforcement to enforce Wisconsin's 3-foot passing law. In every instance, the cyclists were relating the aftermath of a buzzing, an encounter that we've all experienced. But what happens when the buzz is a little too close, and the cyclist is hit? Diana tells the story in her own words: We took off on a ride the day he arrived, and I proudly showed him one of my favorite three-hour loops in the area. About 20 minutes away from home, we began a scenic climb, single-file and on the shoulder of the road. It was one of my beloved hill interval climbs. That was the last thought I remember. This time was not an "almost." I woke up hours later in the hospital, after being hit by an overtaking truck, to find out I couldn't move. I was informed by doctors that my back and ribs were fractured in several places, and that my lung and my spinal cord were bruised, and it was uncertain whether or not I'd be paralyzed as a result of my injuries. Matthew had many fractures as well, and was in a room down the hall dealing with his own painful injuries. Every collision is different - sometimes the cyclist is conscious at the scene, sometimes the cyclist only regains consciousness later, in the hospital - if at all. If the cyclist does regain consciousness, the cyclist may or may not be able to remember what happened. In the case of a hit & run, this means that the cyclist may never know exactly what happened. Even if the cyclist does remain conscious, or regains consciousness - and memory - later, the driver may have an account of the collision that is entirely at odds with the cyclist's account. And of course, when the cyclist does not survive, the driver's account is the only account of the collision that makes its way into the police reports and newspaper accounts. As readers of this column and Bicycling & the Law are aware, there is often an underlying, sometimes unconscious bias against cyclists in the media, with slanted accounts of bike-on-car collisions portraying the cyclist at fault, even when the evidence overwhelmingly indicates otherwise (see, for example, "Blaming the Victim"). Almost immediately, Diana ran headlong into that bias: To add insult to the injuries, a hospital visitor showed me a newspaper report a few days later, stating that Matthew and I had swerved into the truck that hit us from behind. The newspaper account was completely inaccurate, and painted a picture of us as guilty without consulting any reliable sources or witnesses- they didn't even interview me or Matthew. We are both experienced riders, and as the case developed, it was proven beyond doubt that Matthew and I were in fact riding in a straight line, single-file, on the shoulder of the road, when the overtaking truck veered into us. Yet, in those first days and weeks after the accident, I had to deal with calls from people who read the inaccurate and insulting article. The article cast a shadow over our reputations, and it still angers me that the article was published immediately, pointing fingers at me and Matthew - assuming that as cyclists, we must have been at fault. Similarly, readers of this column and Bicycling & the Law are aware of a similar underlying, sometimes unconscious bias against cyclists within law enforcement, again with slanted accounts of bike-on-car collisions portraying the cyclist at fault, even when the evidence overwhelmingly indicates otherwise (see, for example, "A fatal bias?"). Diana began to wonder if that bias was at work in her case: What happened next was, in Diana's words, "an eye-opener." Next week, we'll see what she means by that, as we continue with Diana's account of her legal and medical experiences as she struggled to recover in the weeks and months following the collision. Until then, ride safe, Bob (Research and drafting provided by Rick Bernardi, J.D.) I'd like to thank everybody who has contacted me to request my appearance at their event. I will be speaking as extensively on "Bicycling & the Law" this year as my practice will allow, and will make plans to appear before any club, bike shop, or other engagement that is interested in hosting me. If you would like me to appear to speak at your event or shop, or to your club or group, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com (and if you would like to contact me with a question or comment not related to my speaking tour, please drop me a line at firstname.lastname@example.com).

a fantasy i have at work all the time.
Working at a Mercedes Benz dealership has its perks. First, I get to spend my time around such beautiful cars. Second, I get to spend time around beautiful women. Trophy wives to these rich men that give them everything they want except what the really need; a man to pleasure them.
"Hello Mama, how my I help you today?"
"I don't know can you help me…." She says with the smile of a innocent child, biting down on the frame of her sun glasses.
"Well what do you look for in a car?"
"Something fast and… powerful" she says slowly as she drops the sunglasses in-between her cleavage.
A beautiful woman, with long hair and red accents and mesmerizing brown eyes continues to stare at me, waiting for an answer to her question. She wore a black halter top dress that was only knee high, if that low. Underneath I could make out the beginnings of a red bra of some sort with, it slightly popped out at the top of the back dress. I look down even further and notice the black 4 inch heels she is wearing. I can't imagine a more perfect woman.
"Well….. Do you have something that might…fill my slot?" She purrs the last words as she takes a seat in a C class and lays her hand over the bottom of her dress, hiding the underwear she is wearing, if any. She is tempting me hoping to get a discount I'm sure. She is probably use to getting what she wants. She wears a necklace made of solid gold, it reads princess. She is a little princess, on the surface.
"well this car you are in is fine for moderate fun, a four door that has plenty of power under the hoo…."
"Fuck that, give me a two door with at least a V12 in it" she demands
I have a surprised look on my face; she really wants to go really fast apparently. It does not seem to matter how much it will cost, or more how much I can get out of her. I take her to the side lot where all of our performance cars are kept. The SLK 55 a small but powerful little beauty is fun to drive and a little easy to park.
"No to small, I need something ….. big" she looks at me with a little smile, I simply smile back and take her further into the back of the lot.
"This is the SL550 twin turbo V12. This is a big hard top convertible that if you topped out would literally rip our cloths off your body"
"OOooooo I like the sound of that, she says as she gets in the passenger seat."
I see her uncross her legs for a sec, then I realize a small fact, she is wearing no panties at all, her smooth bald pussy is only visible for a short second, but it's a second I won't forget. I show her most of the features that the cars, then I show her the convertible feature. She awe's as the sky opened up for her.
I take the key and start the car, "Why don't we just…. Go for a ride" We pull out onto the main street and go a pretty mild distance. I show her how smooth the ride is on the car. She starts to play with the shifter a little as we continue to drive and I explain how the car would be nice for her and can cost less then she thinks it could. I notice finally what she is doing; her hand strokes the shifter up and down slowly; the breeze flowing through her dress causing sensation all over her breast. She rubs her thighs together more and more as she feels her pussy get wet from looking at the sales men with his blond hair the waves in the wind and his blue eyes watch as she strokes hard and harder on the shifter.
I finally get the car onto the high way and floor the accelerator. The cars twin turbo engine does the rest, kicking in and getting to 170 in no time flat. Her breaths are hard as the car slows to get off the highway; I see a trickle of something wet slid down her leg as I turn onto the off ramp. She has an animal look in her eyes now. She stares at me till I get close to the dealership again.
"Park the car in the back" she demands as we pull in.
I pull into the back far behind the workshop and other cars as she had wished. She puts her hand on my leg and starts to slowly stroke it moving her way up to my groin. I look into her brown eyes and I feel myself start to lose control. My hand grabs the back of her head and pulls her closer to me. Our lips making contact and my tongue exploring her gorgeous mouth.
Her hand unbuckles my belt and unzips my pants. My semi-hard cock, popping out of its constraints. She grasp my cock with her hand and starts to stroke it slowly. Our mouths part and she gives me a devilish smile before kissing my jaw line and continues down till her lips braze the head of my dick. I buck at the feeling, but she complies with my wants and takes the head into her mouth. Her mouth is warm and wet like nothing I have felt before. My hands find its way beneath her dress to find her breast, perky with erect nipples. My hand plays with her prefect breast, squeezing her flesh and twisting her nipple till I drew a moan from her. My other hand stays below, fallowing the trail of wetness all the way to the crease of her twat.
She continues to bob up and down on my cock as I play with her pussy lips and breast. She starts to go up and down faster and faster, sucking harder on my erect cock. Her tongue moving all over my cock as she sucked. She hums a little as I rub the very top of her slit with the tip of my finger, getting her more and more excited. She gives a finally moan and causes me to cum right into her mouth. She sucks up all of it, drinking it down with a pleasure look on her face.
"God…. that was good" I say as I lay my head back on the seat.
"I enjoyed it myself" she says with a smile before kissing me again.
I taste a little bit of my own cum on her lips, but now I am ready to taste her. I grab her by the ass and sing her to the top of the trunk. Lifting the skirt up a little higher reveals her sweet, delicious pussy. It's still moist from earlier when I gunned the car down the highway. I follow the drip worth my tongue all the way up to her wonderful warm slit. My tongue just laps over it at first, teasing her with a little pressure at first. She grabs my hair and pulls me in. I give her what she wants. Sticking my tongue out and penetrating that soaking pussy. I only go have way in at first, but later thrust my whole tongue deep with her nice cunt. Moving it up and down all over; my thumb circling her clit as I tongue fuck her on top of that car. I push deeper and deeper till I have her gasping for air, ready to explode. She finally cums all over my face and on my tongue. I lick my lips tasting more of her, her sweet smelling pussy equally compares to her sweet taste.
She gets out the car and crawls onto the hood of the car. Raising the skirt again, she looks over her shoulder, with animal lust in her eyes. I have the same look as I look back at her. My hard cock still wet with her spit I slowly move behind her and pop the head of my dick into her wet pussy. She moans at the size, feeling it stretch her tight little pussy. I pop the head back out, she groans and whines looking back at me with a sad face, but it does not last long as I thrust back into her going a little deeper. She gasps at the sudden thrust I give her, throwing her head back. I go deeper and deeper into her with each thrust till my full length is all the way inside her. I thrust again and again, rocking both her body and the car, but she however thrust back at me. My nuts slapping her pussy with each push forward. I give her ass a few nice firm slaps; she moans at the rough treatment.
I take my right hand and slowly rub her clit as I fuck her from behind, only to be surprised by her hand grabbing and beginning to massage my balls as I do. The feeling is intense, as I already feel my second orgasm start to build. I quickly flip her over, putting both her legs to my sides as she lay on top of the long hood of the car. Thrusting like a wild animal she hangs onto my body for dear life, "grab your own breast" and play with your tits" I demand. She does so, moaning and breatheing hard again.
"Fuck me… fuck me…. O god your dick feels so good"
I thrust harder and faster, she screams out in pleasure as the sum drips from her pussy on to my cock, as well as the hood of the car. I grab her off the hood of the car and grab her neck and bring her slowly to her pussy juice she has spilled.
"Lick it up….princess"
She sticks her tongue out and tastes her own juices of the car. I get behind her again; I give another firm slap to her ass. She whimpers at it. I place my cock in-between her petite ass cheeks and move back and forth slowly, enjoying the sight I have in front of me. I take my cock and slowly find the last hole to fuck. I push hard against her tight rectum before it gives way to my dick. She whines and cries in pain. But it only last for a short while before she begins to feel the pleasure of it. I thrust slowly, enjoying her ass more than ever. I give another slap, she whimpers that childish whimper that droves me insane. It's not long before her ass contracts around my cock, making me want to cum almost instantly. I give a few more thrust before I have to get out and cum. I force her to her knees and she automatically takes my dick into her mouth again. She sucks like a pro. I cum almost instantly filling her mouth again. Little bits of cum fall from her mouth onto her gorgeous tits.
We climb back into the car and cool off in the air-conditioning before we go in to sign the papers for the car she wants.
"I hope you like this car, and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed it with you"
"O, I will , might see come back more to get it fixed and have test drives with you, just to make sure its working right." She says with a smile .

Technically in California, this small town and its surrounding land have a Nevada feel.
Photo: Amy Noel (all)
A mere 80 miles from the Las Vegas Strip, over the Spring Mountains, 17 miles south of Pahrump, turn left on Tecopa Road and head 35 miles down the Old Spanish Trail Highway, and you'll find the town of Tecopa.
Tecopa is a tiny rural community, where you'll find a working date ranch, America's first National Wild and Scenic Desert River (the Amargosa), riparian habitats with world-class birding, geology-rich human histories, fabulous food, silky natural hot mineral water to soak in, and astounding quiet night skies so clear you'll think if you could reach just a bit farther you could touch the Milky Way.
Tecopa is on the eastern edge of California and is a little-known treasure. There are about 75 full-time residents (those that tough out the summer). Winter snowbird populations might grow to a whopping 400, fall through spring. Tecopa, indeed the whole southeastern Inyo County in many ways, is culturally much more akin to Nevada than what we tend to think of as California. In fact, Inyo County's motto is "The Other Side of California."
Tecopa and its hot springs are part of the Amargosa Valley and are also located at the southeast end of Death Valley National Park. Death Valley, homeland of the Timbisha Shoshone, protects 3.3 million acres of some of the most amazing landscape on the globe. Folks have been known to spend their whole lives exploring it and always find something new.
Oft times when people think of the desert, especially one that boasts the lowest elevation you can put your feet on as well the hottest place on earth, the tendency is to think of a wasteland portrayed in so many westerns. But instead, the deserts here where the Mojave meets the Great Basin, tectonic plates pulling apart have emptied vast Pleistocene inland lakes where seas roamed a billion years earlier.
And in this process, layers of earth's long-buried crust broke apart and cracked and faulted, revealing amazing striped and multicolored mountains, tilted forward impossibly fooling the eye trying to discern distance. And there is life still, amazing mountain and canyon seeps and springs, underground rivers and waterways, and lush riparian habitats. It's fiercely beautiful.
This amazing life does not make itself readily apparent as you hurdle down the highway, though. You have to get out of the car and look around. For example, in the spring, the mountain appears purple because there are literally millions of "belly" flowers no bigger than your little finger displaying that gorgeous color. And then there are years when the skies dump heavy rains and snow in the mountains that melt and overfill our aquifers, and the flowers grow as thick as carpets and as high as your thigh.
You have to stop and listen to the silence—no sirens, no rushing. And then there's the buzz of insects, the whoosh of raven wings, soaring hawks, frogs, a bighorn sheep, a crane…there's the wind through the grasses and stillness.
Amazing to many is that people actually live out here. Hardy and in tune with the seasons, comfortable with solitude and silence, feeding a yearning to explore and ready to help your neighbor even a 100 miles away any time.
Harry Rosenberg, who came to Amargosa Valley in 1915, first developed Tecopa Hot Springs Resort. He worked as a siding foreman along the T&T Railroad until the track was tore up in 1942. His first wife, Noona, and he lived in a train car with two preschool boys in those early days.
After the war, Harry, who had always loved the hot springs and knew everyone would, began developing his resort on a 120-acre parcel using rail ties from the abandoned T&T as his lumber. His hot bath was out on the back 120 acres and fed by a hand-dug line to a spring, which came out of the ground at about 109 degrees. He found a bison hip while digging that line.
The regulars affectionately knew this as "Harry's hole." You'd go by Harry's café, pay your fee, get the key, and head on back to shower and then soak in heavenly hot water and open space all around you. Unfortunately, Harry's hole had fallen into disrepair before my time, but the walk and the views "out back" are still incredible.
Ironically, Harry drowned in a flash flood near Shoshone in 1969, less than a decade after phone lines and electricity came into the area. The '70s and '80s saw new owners and further developments and was the place to stay in fall through spring, folks sometimes waiting for days in the parking lot for one of the 92 RV spaces to open up. After the death of one of Harry's partners and the closing of the local mines in Kingston, the resort slept for almost 10 years.
In 2001, a small group of desert lovers began to restore it. Today, Tecopa Hot Springs Resort offers 12 newly renovated motel rooms; four rustic rail tie cabins; five soaking tubs; fine arts, crafts and relics; and a unique bistro in one of Harry's first rail tie buildings featuring incredible edibles by five-diamond Executive Chef John Muccio. Activities include annual Fire House Fling fundraising for our local volunteer firefighters and EMS, music, art openings, work shops, and star parties.
When you visit, remember this is a tiny community more than 35 miles from the nearest supermarket. There are some supplies in Tecopa at the county campground store. In Shoshone Village, eight miles north, there's gas, a small general store, two more cafés, and a fabulous local history museum.
We are surrounded by wilderness, and sometimes we experience extreme weather conditions. Travel with plenty of water because it is dry even if it's cold. Stay with your car if you break down; someone will eventually come along. Be safe, be curious, and enjoy.

While I can understand it's "Nevada feel," why are we focusing on a town based in California? Nevada is chock full of old-generation towns that deserve such recognition. Not sure if these were covered in back issues…but what about Seven Troughs? Rochester? Dyer, Lida? Hamilton, Nelson? Vya, Denio, Midas, Montello? The list goes on and on…
Spend a little time here in wonderland! We did, and moved here! Just 1.5 hours from Vegas, we used to drive here on days off EVERY WEEK! Great drive too, NO TRAFFIC, no stopllighs, just purple mountains majesty, vistas that stir the soul, world-class mineral bathes that leave you renewed, peaceful, and glowing! The atmosphere must be experienced for yourself! Come and enjoy!
Tecopa is an area I return to again and again, for the reasons you write about. Recently I took two friends there, they loved it, and I know they'll return again, too. It's simply an amazing place.

NEW YORK Contract discussions between Alcoa Inc. and the United Steelworkers union at the companys Aluminerie de Bécancour (ABI) smelter continued Wednesday after a five-day extension expired at midnight Tuesday.
"Negotiations are continuing," a spokeswoman for Pittsburgh-based Alcoa told AMM, declining to comment further.
Union representatives also confirmed discussions are ongoing.
Both parties have been meeting regularly since Sept. 11 to try to hash out a new deal for some 900 workers at the 400,000-tonne-per-year smelter in Quebec.
Alcoa and the USW agreed to extend the contract to Nov. 27 from Nov. 22 ( amm.com, Nov. 26).
Domestic producers and consumers of billet are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the talks, as any curtailed production could significantly impact the North American billet market next year.

Local lawmakers and the federal government are trying to make it easier for the innovators at the newly created Cornell Tech School to patent their products.
The U.S. Commerce Department is setting up shop at the school's Chelsea campus to help connect students to early-stage investors, intellectual property strategies and government grants.
Senator Charles Schumer said Tuesday this office, which is the first of its kind, will help make New York America's fastest growing start-up capital.
"Yes, there is no reason the institution founded with money from laying [pipes for telegraph wires] cannot be the university that is famous for patenting the next [cellphone]," the senator said while clutching a pipe and a cellphone in his hands.
The school's permanent home will cover a 12-acre site on Roosevelt Island in Manhattan. It is slated to officially open in 2017 and be fully built by 2037.

Hundreds of Kids Trick-or-Treat on the Downtown Mall
Posted: 6:52 PM Oct 27, 2012
Reporter: Frankie Jupiter
October 27, 2012
Hundreds of kids dressed as Spider-Man, ghosts and ghouls flooded the Downtown Mall in a sea of costumes Saturday for the annual Downtown Safe Halloween Festival.
The event featured face painting, costume contests and safe trick-or-treating on the Downtown Mall at local shops. Radio Disney also took part in this year's event.
Organizers say the event is a great way for kids of all ages to trick-or-treat.
"It's a great event for the community. I think it brings everybody down. It's during the day. I think folks feel less threatening for an afternoon event," said event organizer Bernie Garrison.
More than 30 vendors on the Downtown Mall gave out treats to the kids. Event organizers say the turn out was bigger than previous years.

There's nothing more predictable than the PR industry's constant urge to 'define itself'. So today, true to form, the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) has announced that it is to develop a new 'modern definition' of PR (again).

I have a firm belief that in five to ten years time, we'll no longer refer to media as 'social'. That's because everything we do will be social by its very nature.
We're already seeing social functionality dominate much of what we do online, from shopping, consuming news to listening to music. But how equipped are brands to cope with this uber social future?

Joined up marketing should be a reality for every type of business these days, and as more companies realise the benefits a joined up approach will bring, PR should be perfectly positioned to play a key part.
But this will only happen if the industry takes steps to revolutionise itself and portray its changing position and capability to the wider marketing industry.

There has be all manner of speculation and rumour circulating over the last week or so about how exactly Facebook is going to approach the whole 'location' issue after seemingly shutting down its Places and Deals sites.
But much of the evidence suggests Facebook is even more focused on location now that it has been to date.
As I've already suggested, the latest feature updates Facebook rolled out recently actually puts location in a more prominent position; right in front of every user, every time they post a status update. And Facebook has been very clear that 'check-in deals' won't be disappearing anytime soon either.

The launch of Google+ has caused quite a stir in the 'digital community' with many viewing it as a potential game changer while others see only a desperate, and ultimately futile, attempt to try and combat the seemingly unstoppable Facebook juggernaut.
Whether Google+ succeeds or fails, only time will tell. But, for me, some of the subtler – and indeed less subtle – features in this new network points towards a change in our approach to social networking and online social behaviour in general.

Rightly or wrongly, the PR industry has taken a lot of stick over the last year. Allegations that it has fallen behind in the race to 'own' social media may or may not be true. But, in an industry that has built itself on perceptions, there is work to be done to ensure it remains a key weapon in any marketing arsenal.
So, given the time of year, I've been thinking about five New Year resolutions that the PR industry should consider for 2011.

At times in the last few years, especially in digital marketing circles, it has seemed as though social media has ruled the world.
However, I'm beginning to sense increasingly suspicion and scepticism in the conversations I have with colleagues and clients.
by Danny Whatmough 17 September 2010 10:55am 17 comments
With more and more companies flocking to Twitter, Facebook and the rest, brands that want to take social media seriously and start getting wider internal involvement should consider putting together some social media guidelines.
This will ensure you get the most out of your social media efforts by giving employees the freedom to really get stuck in.

Issue Brief Read MoreAdding an Out-of-Pocket Spending Maximum to Medicare: Implementation Issues and Challenges
In an effort to simplify Medicare's cost-sharing requirements, provide beneficiaries with catastrophic protection, and achieve program savings, some have proposed to restructure Medicare's benefit design. Several recent proposals would create a unified deductible for Medicare Parts A and B, simplify cost-sharing requirements above the deductible, and add an annual limit on beneficiary out-of-pocket spending—a benefit feature typical of larger employer plans, but lacking in traditional Medicare. This issue brief describes the options for adding an out-of-pocket spending limit to Medicare and examines the operational issues that could arise in implementing both a uniform and an income-based out-of-pocket spending limit. Because the implementation of an income-related out-of-pocket maximum would pose somewhat greater complexity for Medicare, the operational issues associated with this approach are discussed in greater detail.

Kate Upton is back on the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover, but it's a 'flip cover' this year. / Sports Illustrated
For those of you bummed to find out Kate Upton didn�t earn a third consecutive Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover this year, we have good news and bad news.
The bad news is the 21-year-old supermodel from St. Joseph still isn�t on the cover. The good news is she�s actually on the flip side of the 50th anniversary Swimsuit Issue, which was released today.
At least that�s something, right? It�s the first time Sports Illustrated, which unveiled Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal and Lily Aldridge on the actual cover last week, has a bonus flip-side cover for its yearly Swimsuit Issue.
Check out the full cover here.
As for what�s inside the Swimsuit Issue, Upton did this year�s SI Swimsuit photoshoot in zero gravity, aboard a Boeing 727 run by the Zero G Experience. She didn�t go in space, but tumbled around like she was at an altitude of 34,000 feet, along with the photographers and videographers abord the aircraft.
Check out the video of her photoshoot here. It�s pretty humorous!

Do you have any super bulky yarn from previous projects that you would like to use up? I had a quite a bit left over from making chunky cowls for myself and for my friends this winter. After looking through the Ravelry database, I came across this adorable baby hat pattern by Catherine Wiggins. These super bulky newborn hats work up extremely quickly with only 8 rows and a 10 mm crochet hook. I love the addition of the ribbons to finish off these hats- the ribbon bows give a very sophisticated and polished look! Get the free pattern HERE! You may recognize these yarns since I used the pink yarn to make my "Long Double Crochet Cowl" and the beige yarn to make my "Chunky Double Crochet Cowl"!

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
6.4.4. STDIN, STDOUT, and STDERR Streams |
Under mod_perl, both STDIN and STDOUT are tied to the socket from which the request originated. If, for example, you use a third-party module that prints some output to STDOUT when it shouldn't (for example, control messages) and you want to avoid this, you must temporarily redirect STDOUT to /dev/null. You will then have to restore STDOUT to the original handle when you want to send a response to the client. The following code demonstrates a possible implementation of this workaround:
{ my $nullfh = Apache::gensym( ); open $nullfh, '>/dev/null' or die "Can't open /dev/null: $!"; local *STDOUT = $nullfh; call_something_thats_way_too_verbose( ); close $nullfh; }
The code defines a block in which the STDOUT stream is localized to print to /dev/null. When control passes out of this block, STDOUT gets restored to the previous value.
STDERR is tied to a file defined by the ErrorLog directive. When native syslog support is enabled, the STDERRstream will be redirected to /dev/null.

Review of the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid
Combining 21-mpg fuel economy with the towing capacity of a traditional SUV, the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid is an amazing piece of machinery. However, most folks would be better served by any of GM's full-size crossovers that are nearly as efficient and much less expensive.
- Safety
Amazing fuel economy for a full-size SUV, handsome cabin with solid build quality, comfortable ride, seats eight passengers.
Heavy third-row seats must be removed to open up cargo hold, fuel economy still not much better than some crossovers, hefty price premium.

Full 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid Review
What's New for 2009
Other than the adoption of Bluetooth connectivity and real-time traffic for the XM Satellite Radio, the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid sees no significant changes.
A few years ago, the idea of a full-size traditional truck-based SUV averaging 21 mpg seemed about as likely as a Chevy Aveo blowing away a Corvette in the quarter-mile. Normally, you'd be hard-pressed to get 14 mpg in one of these over-5,000-pound beasts. Getting an amazing 50 percent better fuel economy without giving up a powerful V8, eight-passenger capacity and the ability to tow 6,000 pounds might qualify that rig as the eighth wonder of the world. That rig is the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid.
It was last year that General Motors achieved that feat, with the debut of hybrid versions of its popular Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon twins. Developed in concert by BMW and DaimlerChrysler and General Motors, the Yukon Hybrid's "two-mode" technology starts with a 6.0-liter V8 with cylinder-deactivation technology -- it essentially turns that V8 into a V4 when full power isn't needed. The V8 is coupled to a pair of 60-kilowatt motors packaged within the transmission for electric motivation.
The transmission -- GM dubs it an EVT, for "electronically variable transmission" -- is essentially like having two transmissions inside one -- continuously variable drive for light load conditions and a standard four-speed fixed-gear type for high-load conditions. Hence the term "two-mode." And like other full hybrids, the Yukon Hybrid can be propelled (up to around 25 mph) solely under electric power, which is why its city fuel economy (21 mpg) is virtually the same as its highway (22 mpg). GM did its best to keep the weight gain to a minimum by using aluminum for several body panels and slimming down the seats. (Though ironically, the oh-so-heavy removable third-row seats escaped the liposuction.)
The gains in fuel economy above a regular Yukon's are pretty impressive from a percentage standpoint -- the Hybrid posts an improvement in city mileage of about 50 percent. However, its mid-$50,000 price tag may make you think twice. Other than its sophisticated running gear, the Yukon Hybrid is essentially a fully loaded Yukon SLT, but costs about $8,000 more. Even factoring in federal tax credits, it could take up to a decade to recoup that price premium based on gas savings alone. We'll let you decide if the environmental benefits are worth the price, but how green can a 5,600-pound SUV ever really be?
So, unless the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid's significant towing capabilities are important to you, a full-size crossover like the Buick Enclave or GMC Acadia may be a better choice. They provide more usable passenger space, they're friendlier to drive, they get close to the same fuel economy and they're considerably cheaper when fully loaded with options. The new two-mode hybrid system is certainly impressive, but we're not entirely sure if the Yukon is the right vehicle for it.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid is a full-size SUV available in one trim level. Standard equipment includes 18-inch alloy wheels, rear park assist with rearview camera, tinted windows, power-folding heated side mirrors and tri-zone automatic climate control. A trip computer, Bluetooth connectivity, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, remote ignition, leather upholstery, power front seats and a removable 50/50-split third-row seat are also standard. In-car entertainment includes a navigation system, a hybrid system display and a nine-speaker Bose audio system with a CD/MP3 player, an auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio (with real-time traffic reporting).
A sunroof and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system are the lone options.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid is available with rear-wheel or four-wheel drive. Both models utilize a 6.0-liter V8 engine coupled to a pair of 60-kilowatt electric motors located inside what GM calls an electrically variable transmission. Together, they produce 332 horsepower and 367 pound-feet of torque. The system can accelerate the Yukon up to speeds of approximately 25 mph using electricity only, while the V8's cylinder-deactivation system helps reduce fuel consumption at higher speeds. Regenerative braking replenishes the batteries by capturing energy normally lost when coming to a stop.
Fuel economy is 21 mpg city/22 mpg highway for rear-wheel-drive Yukon Hybrids and 20/20 for those with 4WD. Maximum towing capacity for a properly equipped 4WD model is 6,000 pounds.
Standard safety equipment includes full-length side curtain airbags, antilock disc brakes, traction control, OnStar and a rearview camera. In government crash testing, the Yukon Hybrid scored a perfect five stars in all frontal and side-impact tests.
Interior Design and Special Features
Aside from instrumentation, there's nothing to distinguish the Yukon Hybrid from a traditional Yukon. Unlike in past generations, that's a very good thing. The newest Yukon boasts attractive, high-quality materials and tight panel gaps while maintaining a simple control layout. Even the standard navigation system is easy to use.
With its standard third row, the Yukon can seat up to eight passengers. Unfortunately, that 50/50-split third row does not fold flat into the floor. Since the two seats weigh slightly less than a Geo, you'd better have Stone Cold Steve Austin on standby to help remove them. Once they're out, though, maximum cargo capacity is a whopping 109 cubic feet with the folding second row down -- much more than any other hybrid offers.
Driving Impressions
It's not a stretch to say that driving the 2009 GMC Yukon Hybrid feels like being behind the wheel of a 5,600-pound Prius. There's the same eerie quiet when accelerating and braking, as the gas engine shuts off to let the electric motors do their thing. Although it's a tad strange, the result is a quiet cabin, while transitions between gas and electric modes, and eight- and four-cylinder mode, are either undetectable or easy to ignore.
The regenerative braking system produces a firm braking feel and, according to GM, actually stops the big SUV better than the regular Yukon's conventional brakes do. Although the Hybrid is the most powerful Yukon available, it's also the heaviest, so don't expect particularly brisk acceleration. Still, its abundance of low-end power -- aided by those torque-rich electric motors -- produces plenty of grunt for both around-town chores and trailer towing.

WASHINGTON (AP) — From the South to the heartland, cracks are appearing in the once-solid wall of Republican resistance to President Barack Obama's health care law.
Ahead of a federal deadline Friday for states to declare their intentions, Associated Press reporters interviewed governors and state officials around the country, finding surprising openness to the changes in some cases. Opposition persists in others, and there is a widespread, urgent desire for answers on key unresolved details.
Thursday evening, the Obama administration granted states a month's extension, until Dec. 14. A check by the AP found that 16 states remain in the undecided column.
The law that Republicans have derided as "Obamacare" was devised in Washington, but it's in the states that Americans will find out if it works, delivering promised coverage to more than 30 million uninsured people.
States have a major role to play in two of the overhaul's main components: new online insurance markets for individuals and small businesses to shop for subsidized private coverage, and an expanded Medicaid program for low-income people.
States must declare if they'll build the new insurance markets, called exchanges, or let Washington do it for them. States can also opt for a partnership with the feds to run their exchanges, and they have until February to decide on that option.
Some glimpses of grudging acceptance across a shifting scene:
— One of the most visible opponents of Obama's overhaul, Florida Republican Gov. Rick Scott, now says "if I can get to 'yes,' I want to get to 'yes.'"
Florida was a leader in the failed effort to overturn the law in the Supreme Court, and a group formed by Scott ran TV ads opposing it before it passed Congress. But the governor told the AP this week he wants to negotiate with the federal government to try to help the nearly 4 million uninsured people in his state.
— In Iowa, GOP Gov. Terry Branstad says he is postponing a decision because Washington has not provided enough information about key details. But his spokesman, Tim Albrecht, said Iowa is exploring a partnership exchange that could include several states. Albrecht said they're confident they can get to a state option if needed.
Ohio, like Florida and Iowa a state Obama carried in the election, is leaning toward a partnership with the federal government despite GOP officials' continued misgivings about the law.
— In Mississippi, Republican insurance commissioner Mike Chaney formally notified Washington on Wednesday that his agency will proceed with a state-run exchange, disappointing GOP Gov. Phil Bryant, who remains staunchly opposed to Obama's law.
Chaney, too, says he wishes the law could be repealed, but he worries that "if you default to the federal government, you forever give the keys to the state's health insurance market to the federal government."
As for trying to fight the feds, Chaney observed: "We tried that 150 years ago in the South, and it doesn't work."
— In New Mexico, the administration of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez had been quietly working to put the law into place as the political storm swirled. With a fifth of its population uninsured, the state is planning to run its own exchange.
"The party is over. The opposition is over," New Mexico Human Services Secretary Sidonie Squier told the AP. "Whatever states didn't think they were going to do it, I think they're going to have to do it whether they like it or not. It's a done deal now."
Policy experts in Washington are noticing the shift.
"I think it's a very practical decision for states now," said Alan Weil, executive director of the nonpartisan National Academy for State Health Policy. "We are going to have a significant number of states running their own exchanges, a significant number where the federal government is running the exchange, and a significant number of partnerships. The bottom line is we are going to have to figure out how to make all three models work."

Been wanting to jump on Team Green for the longest time. I just couldn't stand any AMD products these days. Had a 6870 for a while, but I was so fed up with driver issues every time a new game comes out. Plus it had no PhysX and CUDA, which I wanted for Borderlands, Just Cause 2, and Batman. I know I won't get more frames, but just being on Nvidia is worth it.
got it and rebate is up. coolcoolcool Last edited by icepop4who; 02-10-2013 at 11:00 PM.. |

One of the most contentious provisions of the law is that it will outlaw discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Given the hostility facing lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people in Moldova, including hate speech by politicians and public officials, it is imperative that this provision remain in the law. As the High Commissioner has repeatedly stressed, acts of discrimination and violence against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered people are violations of international human rights law and must be outlawed.
UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay [official profile], has been vocal in her support [JURIST report] of this law's implementation since her visit to the Eastern European nation last November. Moldova has taken several steps in recent years to become a more democratic nation. Last year the country joined the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] after becoming the 114th signatory to the Rome Statute [JURIST report] in October 2010. During her visit last year, Pillay observed that the "country is clearly on the road to strengthening its democracy, and aims at a number of ambitious reforms" despite the current lack of human rights enforcement for certain segments of the population.
