You won all that meat?! I wish I were that lucky. Never heard of people raffling meat either. It seems like it would raise the bar as far as raffles go.About three months ago I entered a raffle put on my one of my students' soft ball leagues. The main prize was $250 of meat from a local meat packing/distributing warehouse. Despite buying only two tickets, I won the prize, and ordered:
5# Porterhouse steak
5# Rib Eye steak
5# Ground Beef 27%
4# Boneless Rib Roast
2# Boneless Pork Chops
5# Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breast
1# Kangaroo Medallions
2# Wahoo
2# Yellow Fin Tuna Steaks
2# Lamb Leg Boneless
1# Lamb Rack
After winning 34 lbs of assorted meats, I've been playing around with some things. The first night I got the meat, I cooked up one of my porterhouse steaks. I let it set to room temp for three hours, coated in salt, ground black pepper, white pepper, cayenne and garlic powder, and then I grilled it up to medium rare. It was excellent. Last night I made a Japanese chicken curry. Unfortunately, I used chicken breasts whereas I've always gone with thighs before, so the meat was a bit chewier than normal. Tonight, however, we made a prime rib. I used a rub that my brother knew from a bbq place he used to work at, and the meat came out just perfect, rare with tons of flavor and a great, spicy crust. So far, the best thing I've done with the meat.

Following the success of his debut album Souljaboytellem.com, the Interscope artist revealed to SOHH what he's been up to since becoming a rap phenom.
"Basically I was doing a lot of mixtape stuff, I was basically just trying out different swags," he told SOHH. "I started hopping on songs with like Juelz Santana and Gucci [Mane] and all these different artists and you know they on the verses just killing me. I'm like, 'Oh I gotta come wit it.'"
Admitting his lyricism grew from competing with other mainstream rappers on the mixtape circuit, Soulja Boy also explained how his overall rhythm began to fall into place.
"Basically, my flow just got stupid, I just started enhancing more and more every time I went into the studio," he said. "So basically every track my flow is just on. I'm just riding the whole beat perfectly."
Despite having a star-studded line-up of guest appearances on the new album, including T.I., Gucci, Shawty Lo, Yo Gotti and Bow Wow, his favorite track is the intro.
"It just starts off with me just straight flowing," he said. "It's a Drumma Boy beat and basically just like my flow done enhanced so much since the first album 'cause I been around a lot of different artists."
With the popularity of the LP's first single "Bird Walk," the rap sensation teamed up with Polow Da Don for the follow-up record, "Yamaha Mama."
"It's featuring Sean Kingston," he said. "It's basically like another record dedicated to all of my females fans. You know it's gonna be like a super money video on the beach with all the sun, sunlight and the water and all that."

Autumn Blend authenticates responders from federal, state and private-sector organizations
A recent national emergency preparedness exercise successfully demonstrated an interoperable, electronic identity authentication system for government and private-sector personnel.
Known as Autumn Blend, the event was coordinated by the Homeland Security Department's Federal Emergency Management Agency and Northrop Grumman. It included federal, state, local and private-sector emergency response and recovery officials.
Autumn Blend participants used standardized personal identity credentials across multiple networks, such as government and corporate authentication systems. According to Northrop Grumman, the automated authentication process allowed officials to quickly make decisions about access management, provide situational awareness, begin post-event reconstruction and maintain cybersecurity capabilities.
One of the event's scenarios simulated an incident at a Northrop Grumman shipbuilding facility in Newport News, Va., that drew first responders from the city, commonwealth and federal government. As the different response groups converged on the site, their personal identification credentials were electronically scanned at different authentication points to grant physical and data access during the demonstration.
The variety of credentials included the Defense Department's Common Access Cards, DHS' First Responder Authentication Credentials, governmentwide Personal Identity Verification cards, and PIV-Interoperable credentials for nonfederal government partners.
Mobile and fixed devices electronically validated participants' identities through personal identification credentials, ID numbers and biometrics. Logical access through personal identification allowed personnel to use computers for secure e-mail collaboration.
As the authentication systems cleared individuals for access to the venue, the Virginia Interoperability Picture for Emergency Response geospatial application tracked and displayed their locations in near real time at fusion and emergency operations centers across the country.

"Europe already disposes of a huge system for interoperability" I assume that was suppose to mean "deploys" a huge system for interoperability.

The key achievement here is that these various juridictions agreed to leverage common technology and PKI (x.509 similar to the Belgian ID card). This isn't an attempt to "re-invent" anything as much as it is to get people to agree to standards based approach to electronic identities and validatiod and then deploy these interoperable solutions at scale.
Nice, but the world develops globally. Europe already disposes of a huge system for interoperability.

What can you tell me about Shoney's?
- iluvcookies Jan 30, 2012 05:53 PM
OK--I am a total Yankee/Northerner/New Yorker who has spent very little time below the Mason-Dixon line. But I am going to be in a small town in Virginia next week for a wedding, and I am told that the best game in town is Shoney's. So I check out the website, looks a lot like Denny's or Friendly's.
What can I expect? The person giving me this rec is not chow-ish at all, and if I ask her, she will call me a snobby NYer and give me the "when-in-Rome" speech.
re: joe777cool
HA! I love the gladiator line. But I am obligated to attend. Hopefully the CHers on the mid-Atlantic board can give me a few other recs.
Shoney's is an offshoot of a very old American restaurant chain. Order a Big Boy or a Brawny Lad and try the garlic salad dressing, a shake and a slice of pie. Enjoy another part of America.
re: Cathy
Hi Cathy, thanks for the info. One of the reasons I'm going is to do just that--Enjoy parts of America that I'm not familiar with. Guess I was hoping for a 87 year old woman making pies out of a roadside shed, and a really good BBQ place. I'll be searching the appropriate boards here :)
re: INDIANRIVERFL
I posted on the mid-Atlantic board for recs... I will be in the Draper/Dublin/Pulaski area
re: iluvcookies
Well first of all you're in hot dog country. So get thee a Virginia style dog. "The Works" is what you're looking for. A short drive will get you to either Wytheville and Skeeters or Roanoke and the Weiner Stand. Also, in Roanoke is the Texas Tavern. A great spot that's been around since the depression.
Also, here's some links for ya. Scroll down to Virginia where needed.
Anyway, have a good time. Hope you can get some of the good stuff.
re: Davwud
Davwud, thank you for the links.... this is just the type of thing I was looking for.
Going to research and see if any place is enroute, maybe a detour through Roanoke is needed. Thankfully my driving companion (my dad) is game for a good hot dog and a little history.
re: Davwud
That Hollyeats is a great site! Been check'in out for years.
If you knew my FIL you understand when I say the answer to your question is "My FIL loves it."
A few years ago he wanted to take Mrs. Sippi and I to breakfast. Shoney's. He always picks the worst places and we always rebuke his efforts. He gets upset and a fight ensues. So once in a while I'll cave and tell her we need to just suck it up. Well, the morning of breakfast she's suddenly not feeling well and begs off. THAT BIT.............
Anyway, it was dreadful. No redeeming aspects to the meal other than I can say I've been and know of what I speak.
Find something else on here and fill up before you go.
re: Davwud
Ugh.. I don't mind going to Friendly's on occasion (mostly for their ice cream) or IHOP (my grandparents think these are nice places) so if the breakfast is like it is at either of those places I guess I can deal with a meal there.
re: iluvcookies
My only experience with Shoney's was on my 8th grade DC class trip (16 yrs ago?) and it wasn't good. But I think that if you can handle Friendly's, IHOP, and Denny's then you can handle Shoney's. But hopefully those on the local boards can help you out.
re: iluvcookies
Weekend breakfast buffet brings them in. We're not talking hotel-style made-in-front-of-you waffles or omlettes, either.
In a nutshell:
Potato soup, not too bad
Fried fish, greasy but edible
rice with shrimp, waaaay too salty
crabcake, meh
fried chicken, OK
banana pudding, pretty good
Overall, I survived. But the bride's grandma made amazing homemade pie for the reception, which put this place to shame.
Thanks everyone for the input!
Shoney's have survived in the same locations for more than forty years, so at least some of them are successful enough to keep their patrons happy and their owners well paid.
Let me tell you a story about why Shoney's has a different attitude. Remember Hurricane Katrina? Most of the area around Slidell Louisiana got a lot of water in a huge number of homes and the area was hurting. We had our sailboat on Lake Pontchartrain and the marina collapsed and our boat was in what can only be called chowder of boats. My husband went down to see what he needed to do to keep our boat afloat. He also got hungry and there were no grocery stores and very few restaurants were open.
The Shoney's in Slidell was open, run by three people (total for all shifts). A cook and two other people who acted as FOH, waitress, bus boy, restocker of food for the buffet. There was no menu, just a fixed price to come in and eat. It was a can-do attitude and was so very much appreciated by the people who had to be there and didn't have many options other than BurgerKing (for which there was a 45 minute wait after we placed our orders.)
I would just like to record that I'll always remember the people there who made a bad situation a little less bad.

A New York Times Notable Book
"My Life as a Fake is so confidently brilliant, so economical yet lively in its writing, so tightly fitted and continuously startling." –John Updike, The New Yorker
The introduction, discussion questions, suggested reading list, and author biography that follow are designed to enhance your group's reading of Peter Carey's My Life as a Fake, a wonderfully conceived and cleverly executed novel about the relationship between art and artist, truth and fiction. Based on an infamous literary hoax in Australia in the 1940s, it is a telling and often hilarious look at how the act of creation holds surprises that fly in the face of rational thought and defy the expectations of creator, critic, and reader alike.
Bob McCorkle, an uneducated, working-class bard, takes the Australian literary world by storm. Published in a trendy literary journal, his poetry displays an artistry, fire, and erudition rarely encountered, and the fact, revealed by his sister, that McCorkle tragically died at the age of twenty-four only adds to the excitement surrounding the masterpieces. There's only one complication: McCorkle's entire oeuvre was created by one Christopher Chubb, a struggling poet intent on demonstrating the shallowness of modernist poetry. When the ruse leads to an obscenity trial that destroys the magazine and drives its editor to suicide, Chubb, overwhelmed by guilt, tries to disappear into the shadows. But his escape is foiled by an uncouth stranger claiming to be the flesh-and-blood incarnation of Bob McCorkle.
Decades later, Sarah Wode-Douglass, the editor of The Modern Review, is drawn into the bizarre puzzle when she travels from London to Malaysia and happens upon Chubb in a grubby bicycle repair shop. The years have taken their toll on the poet, but he holds fast to his obsession with exposing the creature who assumed the mantle of poetic genius and co-opted Chubb's hard-earned rewards, both personal and professional. Lured by a glimpse of one of McCorkle's extraordinary verses, Sarah agrees to record Chubb's story in hopes of securing McCorkle's unpublished treasures for her journal. Chubb tells a labyrinthine tale of casual cruelties and shocking crimes, of lives used up in the unceasing pursuit of vengeance and redemption. Sarah, who harbors myths of her own about the past and calculated deceptions about the present, gradually abandons her role as mere scribe and becomes a pivotal player in the drama unfolding around her.
A playful, potent twist on the gothic classic Frankenstein, Peter Carey's novel revels in the interplay of reality and imagination that inspires not only great works of literature but the personae that writers, their editors, and their readers choose, wittingly and unwittingly, to construct.
1. My Life as a Fake opens with a satirical description of London's literary elite, placing the fictional John Slater within the company of such real-life figures as Robert Lowell, Dylan Thomas, and the "Faber crowd," which establishes Sarah's literary credentials as the editor of The Modern Review. How does this portrait set the framework and tone for the rest of the novel?
2. Is Sarah's fascination with John Slater based solely on her suspicions about the role he played in her parents' lives? Why, despite her antipathy to travel, does she agree to accompany him to Malaysia? What are his motivations for asking her?
3. Is Slater's account of the McCorkle hoax [pp. 19–21] designed to pique or discourage Sarah's interest in the scandal? What particular details support your answer?
4. At the end of her first meeting with Chubb, Sarah says, "Chubb appeared monstrous—malicious, anti-Semitic, so grotesque and self-deceiving in his love of 'truth and beauty'" [p. 33]. What insights does this harsh evaluation offer into Sarah's decision to pursue the poet and the manuscript he briefly shares with her?
5. In describing the Australian character and culture, Slater says, "Remember, this is the country of the duck-billed platypus. When you are cut off from the rest of the world, things are bound to develop in interesting ways" [p. 19]. Chubb, however, chooses to see his homeland as a victim of the "Tyranny of Distance" [p. 29]. What do these views reveal about differences between an outside observer (Slater) and a native? Is Chubb's viewpoint shaped by his lack of recognition? In what ways does it color his description of David Weiss [pp. 30–31], a Jew whose privileged childhood and early success Chubb openly resents? What impact does it have on his account of the obscenity trial [p. 56]?
6. McCorkle's rant against the prosecution of Weiss and his vow to exact justice "not just for the sake of David Weiss but of art itself, and for a country where we seldom understand that we must be prepared to fight for issues bigger than an umpire's decision at the Melbourne Cricket Ground" [pp. 77–78] is an escalation of Chubb's criticisms of Australian society. Why has Carey put these words into the mouth of the "phantom poet"?
7. When McCorkle recites one of Chubb's contrived parodies, Carey writes, "This lunatic had somehow recast it without altering a word. What had been clever had now become true, the song of the autodidact, the colonial, the damaged beast of the antipodes" [p. 82]. What does this imply about the nature of literature? About the relationship between a writer and his or her audience?
8. How does Carey use minor characters–from David Weiss, the rival Chubb hopes to expose, to Noussette (who, Chubb declares, would "try anything . . . could be who she wished" [p. 93]) to Mulaha, the master of poisons Chubb encounters in the jungle—to explore the role of deception in human lives? In what ways do these incidental figures help define the moral universe of the novel?
9. "I went to bed with the disconcerting knowledge that almost everything I had assumed about my life was incorrect, that I had been baptised in blood and raised on secrets and misconstructions which had, obviously, made me who I was" [p. 133], Sarah writes after learning the truth about her mother's death and her father's dual life. Why do Slater's revelations free her to divulge the story of her own long-term love affair? Does the relationship reveal something about her character that was previously hidden? Does it make her more or less appealing?
10. McCorkle quotes Milton's Paradise Lost when he demands that Chubb give him a birth certificate [p. 95]. What other quotations or literary references extend the scope and resonance of the story? What purpose do they serve in the overall scheme of the novel? For example, what do they suggest about Carey's feelings about "serious" literature and its acolytes?
11. The creature's hold over Chubb reaches a climax when he kidnaps Nousette's baby and raises her as his own. How does Chubb's unrelenting pursuit of the pair—as well as the creature's ability to convince the little girl that Chubb is an evil spirit [p. 208]—mirror the creative process and the fears, hopes, and ambitions that drive an artist?
12. My Life as a Fake is narrated by Sarah, but the voices of Slater, Chubb, and McCorkle take over at various crucial points. What effect does this have on your reactions to the events? Whose point of view seems the most reliable and why?
13. On his deathbed McCorkle gives Chubb a manuscript with the "fierce sarcastic title, My Life as a Fake" [p. 256]. In what ways does the title sum up not only McCorkle's life, but also the life stories of each of the other three major characters?
14. While the Ern Malley scandal is familiar to Australian readers and students of literary hoaxes, it is probably unknown to most American readers. In what ways might this affect the reader's response to the novel? Does it stand entirely on its own, or would knowledge of the actual events enhance the reading experience? Why do you think Carey chose to explain the sources of the novel in an afterword rather than in an introduction or a prologue?
15. In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the monster destroys Victor Frankenstein, the brilliant scientist who created him. One of the major themes of that novel is the danger of unfettered scientific inquiry and experimentation. Are there similarities between Chubb's motivations and those of Dr. Frankenstein? In drawing on the theme and structure of Frankenstein for My Life as a Fake, what is Carey saying about the nature of genius? Are superior minds and talents exempt from the ethical guidelines of ordinary society?
16. Carey appropriated and reanimated the plot of Dickens's Great Expectations in his previous novel, Jack Maggs, and his Booker Prize–winning True History of the Kelly Gang retells the story of one of Australia's most famous real-life legends. In My Life as a Fake, Carey exploits both literary devices, imposing the framework of a classic work of fiction on an historical event. How does the juxtaposition illuminate Carey's definition of "creativity" and the role of the fiction writer? To what extent does the history of literature represent an ongoing endeavor to conflate reality and make-believe to give the world an utterly original creation?

Byatt, Possession, The Biographer's Tale; Peter Carey, Illywhacker; Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness; Michael Heyward, The Ern Malley Affair; Franz Kafka, The Trial; Matthew Kneale, English Passengers; Ian McEwan, Atonement; Michael Ondaatje, Anil's Ghost; Mary Shelley, Frankenstein.
Peter Carey was awarded the Booker Prize in 2001 for True History of the Kelly Gang and also in 1988 for Oscar and Lucinda. His other works include Jack Maggs, The Unusual Life of Tristan Smith, The Tax Inspector, and Bliss. A native of Australia, he currently lives in New York City.

What's up in the solar system in January 2010
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2010/01/04 01:29 CST
While we don't have Moon bases, we do have plenty of spacecraft. Before I get into my more detailed look at the activities of the 20-odd spacecraft wandering about the solar system, I thought I'd look ahead to 2010 more generally and see what the year has in store for us.

Oh my gosh! This is the Henrietta we were looking for. Now, where in Ancestry.com did you find Daniel? I had Daniel and Justine as married in Germany and coming over together. If that info is correct, then Justine being only 22, can't be the mother of the rest of the children. I wonder if her age is a misprint! I don't have a Carl, but the other names are correct. In fact, Bertha was my ggrandmother.

With cold weather settling in, and truckloads of cut and split firewood showing up along California Street, New Mexico Department of Agriculture is reminding people who plan to buy firewood this season to know what to look for so they get their money's worth.
"Phenomensemble" – that's a word coined to describe the singular melding of six virtuoso guitarists from four countries performing under the umbrella of two separate ensembles, thus creating a unique six-by-six string, well, phenomensemble.
To continue receiving grant funding, the Socorro County Prevention Coalition (SCPC) is required by New Mexico's Office of Substance Abuse Prevention (OSAP) to select eight "intervening variables" or objectives for the next fiscal year as part of its strategic plan.
Socorro city councilor Toby Jaramillo has helped feed New Mexicans in need during the holiday season since The Beatles were still together.
The holiday season has been called "the most wonderful time of the year," but it could be the worst time of year for the homeless.

North Leigh have boosted their Southern League campaign by signing former Bolton Wanderers and Aberdeen striker Michael Bird.
Bird, 30, started his career at the north west club before an impressive trial took him to Scottish Premier League side Dons on a free transfer.
After two appearances for the Dons, he had spells at Glenavon in Northern Ireland, Northwich Victoria, Witton Albion, Caernarfon Town and Warrington Town.
Bird was coaching at Blackpool's centre of excellence before a job change took him south.
Millers' boss Mark Gee has also recuited former Swindon keeper Matt Bulman, ex-Southampton youngster Callum McNish, and Conor Ingram, who was released by Oxford United where he was a second-year trainee.
Bulman, 27, is a highly experienced keeper who also had spells at Salisbury City, Forest Green Rovers, Swindon Supermarine and Cirencester before switching to Oxford City last season.
McNish, 22, started his career at the Saints, before joining Exeter City.
He signed for Braintree Town and had a spell at Basingstoke Town before switching to City.
Left-sided defender Matt Woodley, the younger brother of U's forward Aaron, has re-joined Didcot Town where he spent some of last season.
Most of last season's squad have re-signed for the new campaign, namely Brian Bowles, Jon Else, Scott Gee, Andy Gunn, Stuart Hole, Michael Hopkins, Elliott Osborne-Ricketts, Kieran Sanders, Wayne Turk, Zak Westlake and Morgan Williams.

CrossOver Games For Linux Released
Published on 25 March 2008 10:44 AM EDT
Written by

4 Comments
Last week Phoronix
exclusively reported
that CodeWeavers would be introducing their CrossOver Games this coming Tuesday. Well, they have done so this morning. CodeWeavers, the company known for their WINE patronage and WINE-based CrossOver Office product designed to run Windows Office applications on Linux, has kicked their foot in the door into the
Linux gaming
sector. CrossOver Games uses WINE and is very similar to CrossOver Office in fact, but the difference between their two products is that CrossOver Games will be updated much more frequently and is designed just for Windows gaming software.
CodeWeavers is also today announcing CrossOver Games for Mac OS X. CrossOver Games for Linux and Mac is available for $39.95 (USD) each and it includes twelve months of free updates. The press release can be read
. The CrossOver Games free demo can be downloaded from
. This afternoon we'll be delivering more in-depth coverage of CrossOver Games along with preliminary performance figures.

|Short review: Lestai is filled with the great lesbian scenes found in hentai vidz. Cheerleaders, dominator females, oldies, nurses, girls attending school, secretaries, sisties and instructors kiss, suck bunnies, lick cunts and even use sex playthings. A few sexual bondage scenes can be found as well as lesbian three-way, four-way split and fiesta. To my surprise and delight, the website also has a few scenes with transvestite act.

Re: App for another Amex or Request a CLI with Chase.....
tonyaether wrote:
I am weighing options of which would be more productive. Should I app for another Amex for backdating purposes after I reach the 1 year mark in Dec or would it be better to request a CLI with Chase? Chase has really not grown for me over the last 2 years. I am not really sure what they don't like about my spending patterns. I want to close out CareCredit when I make the choice. Since both will result in a HP, assuming I would be approved for both (have no idea), I am trying to see which would be better to do. I am thinking taking the HP with Chase would work out better since it wouldn't be a new account. However, I am unsure if Amex wouldn't report as a new account even with backdating.
is the other amex from '12? it shouldnt be a new account perse. its up to you. do you want to add another card?

This interesting charm is in the shape of a sailing ship (maybe the Mayflower) that opens to reveal a figure that resembles a Pilgrim inside. There is a hinge mechanism that allows the top to lift open.
This charm is 7/8 of an inch wide and in very good condition with a slight amount of wear. It is not marked, but I guarantee it to be sterling silver. It originated in Great Britain and not all English silver is marked.

10. Khalid El-Amin (1997-00) 5-10, G. The heart and soul of the 1999 championship team, El-Amin remains one of the most beloved Huskies in history.
With a gregarious, heart-on-his-sleeve personality and toughness that embodied his hardscrabble upbringing in Minneapolis, El-Amin helped engineer one of the greatest upsets in NCAA championship history when Connecticut defeated Duke, 77-74 in the 1999 final.
He ranks eighth all-time in Huskies history in assists with 479, ranks sixth in steals with 186, and tenth in points, having put up 1,650 in his three years in Storrs.
But he'll be forever remembered for running towards the CBS cameras following the 1999 national championship game, jumping up and down and screaming, "We shocked the world! We shocked the world!"
