As any leader in the corporate world knows, success does not come quickly or easily. In fact, the best way to prepare for a leading role in a large company is starting at the bottom and working your way up.
Although every worker who climbed the corporate ladder has their own success story, the road to achievement has some unavoidable steps. Let's have a look at the basic framework of working your way up in the corporate world:

Fort St. John's sizzling real estate market will gain even more heat if the province approves BC Hydro's proposed $7.9-billion Site C dam project in northeast B.C. That was the consensus Tuesday...Comments ()
The Canadian Home Builders' Association - Alberta presented its top prizes for 2014 Friday night, recognizing the best in the province's residential construction industry. The annual gala, held at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, saw Edmonton pick up honours in nine of the 23 categories, with Calgary taking home 10, central Alberta three and Lethbridge one. Builder of the year — large volume is Calgary's Albi Homes, while the small-volume builder of the year is Lethbridge's Ashcroft Master Builder. Homes by Avi went home with the award for multi-family builder of the year for its projects in Calgary and Edmonton.
Condos have long been touted as the affordable housing option in Vancouver. Not so much, anymore.
Mortgage rates near all-time lows is what is keeping costs down, but don't look for that to continue much longer, says RBC
Can't afford a single-family home in Vancouver, and not enamoured with condo living? There is another option, albeit a frustratingly elusive one: townhomes. It's a great option for people who want to be able to walk out their front door and be outside — as opposed to exiting via a corridor full of neighbouring units, an occasionally slow elevator and a lobby.
A change in tenancy this fall at a major office building in Mount Pleasant signals what a commercial real estate expert says is another step for Vancouver's emerging technology companies as they hunt for office space without downtown prices.
When a construction crew began work last March on a property next to mine, I could not have anticipated the mayhem that would be visited on my quiet Kitsilano street.
While the Affordability Index hasn't moved much in the past year, that is cold comfort for Kate Stewart and her husband Glen, who have been looking since May for a single-family house to buy in North Vancouver.
A push is on to build larger condo units in Vancouver, as young families increasingly opt for a type of housing that is at once more affordable and cosmopolitan. In recognition of the growing trend, developers are starting to build a greater number of three-bedroom units, once as rare as hen's teeth.
A controversial condo development planned for Mount Pleasant is one step closer to reality after it was conditionally approved by the Vancouver development permit board.
Demand for luxury real estate in Vancouver is booming and should increase through the year, according to a new report by Sotheby's International Realty Canada. Eager buyers snapped up almost 40 per cent more million-dollar-plus condominiums and detached single-family homes in the first half of 2014 than they did during the same period in 2013, according to the luxury real estate report, a biannual study on market trends for pricey pads in Canada's largest markets — Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary and Montreal.
Construction of a sprawling three-story complex on a heritage site in the centre of Fort Langley that has been on hold since the fall can resume after Langley Township won an appeal in court this week. The Coulter Berry Building project, which is a 44,000-sq.-ft retail and office building with an adjoining restaurant and 10 residential suites, came to a halt in November after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the building exceeded the township's height and lot requirements for a heritage conservation area.
Another healthy jump in real estate sales across the Lower Mainland in June is putting some areas "on the cusp" of a seller's market where demand outstrips supply and pushes prices higher, according to reports released Thursday by the region's major real estate boards.
The mortgage wars between big banks helped stoke British Columbia's real estate markets to their busiest May since 2007, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association.
The mortgage competition between big banks helped stoke British Columbia's real estate markets to their busiest May since 2007, according to the B.C. Real Estate Association. The province's 13 real estate boards recorded 8,729 sales through the Multiple Listing Service, a 14-per-cent increase from the same month a year ago with big bumps in the key Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley markets influencing the provincial increase.
OTTAWA - Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. says it will no longer offer mortgage insurance for homes that cost $1 million or more, starting July 31, even if the buyer has made a deposit of 20 per cent or more.
An ethnic Chinese newspaper reporter is the latest to challenge the way Metro Vancouver real estate developers and their supporters have long used the "racist" label to muddy debates over the extraordinarily high cost of housing.
Flex space. Multi-functional. Affordable. Those buzzwords describe Vancouver's latest response to crazy housing prices. Developers increasingly are building compact condos, with units as small as a few hundred square feet. Obviously in this scenario space maximization becomes key.
Property sales across the Lower Mainland continued at a rising pace in May, extending a trend of strengthening demand that began in the earlier months of 2013.
Condo towers are sprouting like mushrooms around Metro Vancouver, forcing competition among developers to find novel ways of attracting buyers. The River Green development in Richmond, with 458 condo units priced from $459,000 to $3.6 million, is pitching membership in an exclusive club for those signing on the dotted line.
TORONTO — Scotiabank is the latest lender to create waves in the mortgage market after lowering its special fixed five-year rate to 2.97 per cent, the lowest fixed rate among the big banks.
A rebound in Metro Vancouver prices in the first quarter of 2014 has pushed single-family homes back into the upper reaches of unaffordability on RBC's regular housing-affordability index. The rise is a matter of supply and demand, said RBC senior economist Robert Hogue. Builders keep building more condominiums — which remain relatively affordable in Metro Vancouver — and buyers keep bidding up prices on single-family homes.
It's becoming increasingly difficult for families to own a home in Canada and affordability is expected to get worse going forward, according to the Royal Bank of Canada. With house prices continuing to rise, RBC […]
Evidence of a second wave in British Columbia's leaky-condo crisis is beginning to emerge, 15 years after the first one subsided. It is becoming more apparent as condo strata corporations prepare mandated depreciation reports on their buildings. That process is forcing them to own up to the condition of their properties and the shortcomings of maintenance programs for structures that weren't fixed in the first wave of repairs.
Knock on any condo door in Metro Vancouver and you're liable to hear of horror stories, hurt feelings and other fiascos. At best, you'll find residents living in virtual isolation, often not even knowing their next-door neighbours. These stories about "condo hell" prompted Joseph Nakhla to launch Bazinga!, a service that's bringing social networking to apartment living, a little like the fledgling Facebook did when it first connected students on campus.
"We no longer live in Vancouver. We live on the planet." With that remark, renowned Vancouver realtor Bob Rennie attempted to explain the evolution of this city's exasperating housing market.

Via Marc Carig, Phil Hughes' next start has been pushed back due to back spasms. He was scheduled to pitch Monday against the Twins, but A.J. Burnett will now make that start on five day's rest. Hughes thinks he'll be ready to go for Tuesday, but even if he's not, the Yankees have plenty of pitching options for that day. As always with September injuries, take as much time as you need now so it's not a problem later.
Cool Standings ranks the top collapses
I don't want to jinx anything (you don't believe in that stuff, do you?), but I thought this was pretty neat: Cool Standings put together a list of the biggest collapses in baseball history based on the team's peak playoff chances. For example, the 2007 Mets had 99.5% chance to make the postseason on Sept. 13th, but we all know what happened there. Amazingly enough, that's only the third biggest collapse in history. The 1995 Angels had a 99.9% chance (!!!) to make the postseason in August 24th, but they finished the season on a 12-23 skid and one game back of the Mariners. I imagine the internet would have exploded back then.
Rays @ Red Sox Game Thread
The Rays and Red Sox are playing this afternoon, a game that is very relevant to the Yankees. Unfortunately, if you're in New York, you won't be able to watch because the Mets and Braves will be on FOX. I know a ton of you folks are outside the Tri-State though, so here's a thread to talk about the game. Game starts at 4pm, and it'll be Niemann vs. Lester.
Update: The game is on FOX Sports Deportes in New York. It's channel 125 for me on Time Warner in NYC. The broadcast is in Spanish, obviously.
Game 150: A-Rod's back, yet again
After missing another six days because of that sprained left thumb, Alex Rodriguez is back in the lineup this afternoon, but in an unfamiliar spot. He's hitting fifth for the first time in the Joe Girardi Era, and the first time since September 6th of 2006. Here's the box score for that game. Seven innings of one-hit ball from Randy Johnson, neat. Here's the lineup…
Derek Jeter, SS
Curtis Granderson, CF
Mark Teixeira, 1B – .244/.337/.488
Robinson Cano, 2B
Alex Rodriguez, 3B – .284/.367/.475 … why is he batting fifth and not Tex?
Nick Swisher, RF
Jesus Montero, DH
Brett Gardner, LF
Austin Romine, C
Bartolo Colon, SP
The game is scheduled to start at 1:07pm ET, and you can watch on YES. Enjoy.
No fearing the Texas two-step
Trying to pick a favorable playoff opponent is a fool's errand. Prefer Detroit? Then prepare to face Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera and a bullpen that has led the team to a 72-0 record when leading after 7 innings. Prefer Los Angeles? They have perhaps the best starting pitching troika in the American League in Weaver, Haren and Santana. If Texas is your cup of tea, then you'll have to contend with groundball artist C.J. Wilson and the potent Rangers' offense. There's no easy first round opponent for the Yankees this year. The Twins will be sitting at home.
Despite all that, one has to imagine that the Yankees would represent the worst-case scenario in the ALDS for the Texas Rangers. Not only will the Rangers likely be facing the Yankees in New York for the first two games, instead of hosting the Red Sox or Rays, but the Yankees would also be able to blunt one of the Rangers' biggest advantages: their two strong left-handed starters. As it stands, the likely ALDS starters for the Rangers are C.J. Wilson, Colby Lewis, Derek Holland and Matt Harrison. Wilson and Holland have been tough this year, but there's reason to think that the Yankees can handle left-handed starting pitching with ease this October. After all, they've dominated left-handed pitching all year.
Should the Yankees choose to start Andruw Jones over Brett Gardner against a left-handed starter in the ALDS, seven of their nine hitters will have compiled an OPS of over .850 against left-handed pitchers this season. The two that miss the cut are Russell Martin and Alex Rodriguez. Rodriguez is currently in the middle of a curious slump against left-handed pitching. Despite a career average of .947 OPS against left-handers, he's currently batting .783 against them this year after a .755 mark in 2010. If he's even a modicum of his former self in the playoffs, then the Yankees attack on left-handed starters will be potent.
The reason for this strength against lefties is comprised of several factors. For one, the left-handed batters have shown the ability to hit lefties consistently well. Curtis Granderson in particular stands out. Once nearly a platoon player, Granderson punishes lefties and righties with nearly equal pleasure. Robinson Cano does the same. There's also Jesus Montero, perhaps the greatest source of offensive upside in the Yankees' lineup. Projecting his performance is nearly impossible, but he has a minor league track record and a small major league performance to drool over. Finally there's Andruw Jones, long the abuser of left-handed starters. Should the Yankees choose to sacrifice Gardner's speed and defense for Jones' offense then they'll truly be formidable at the plate. Their two main focal points of weakness would be Russell Martin, a defensive stalwart, and Alex Rodriguez, possibly the greatest hitter of all time. Everything else is gravy.
This isn't to guarantee a win against Wilson or Holland; they're still very tough pitchers. But it does show that facing Wilson and Holland twice in the first three games of the American League Division Series would give give the Yankees a nice platoon advantage. At the end of the day, it's hard to know who to cheer for as a first-round opponent. In 2006 I wanted the Tigers in the first-round, and we all remember how that turned out. Yet, should the Yankees draw Texas I won't fear them like before. This time there's no Cliff Lee, and this time the team will field an offense capable of bludgeoning starting pitchers, righties and lefties alike. This team may have a few questions about the rotation, but the offense couldn't be much better.

Direct Line appoints Saatchi & Saatchi to £45m ad account
Direct Line has appointed Saatchi & Saatchi to its £46 million ad account, ending its relationship with M&C Saatchi.
Direct Line: appoints Saatchi & Saatchi to its ad account
Saatchi & Saatchi, which was informed of its victory this morning, beat WCRS, which works with the Direct Line Group brand Churchill, Karmarama and M&C Saatchi to the business.
M&C Saatchi has worked with the brand since 2005, when it won the business from CHI & Partners. CHI & Partners had picked up the business a year earlier in a pitch against M&C Saatchi.
Mark Evans, the group marketing director at Direct Line Group, said: "Saatchi & Saatchi demonstrated they were the partner best able to meet our ambition for the Direct Line brand. They showed outstanding strategic planning capability, coupled with compelling creative communications.
"This is an exciting juncture in Direct Line's evolution and we look forward to working with them as we move forward."
Direct Line Group retained MediaCom to its £85 million media planning and buying business in August 2013 after a competitive pitch.
The Direct Line brand spent £46 million on media in the 12 months to the end of September 2012, according to Nielsen.
Camilla Harrison, the chief executive at M&C Saatchi, said: "We wish them well for their next chapter."

Real Housewives' Kim Zolciak Flashes Flesh for Equality
Well, whaddaya know? One of the Real Housewives has finally made herself useful.
Real Housewives of Atlanta's Kim Zolciak rencently loaned her, uh, talents to the NO H8 campaign—a protest against Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage in California last year—by stripping down topless and slapping a thick strip of electrical tape across her mouth.
Afterward, Zolciak tweeted, "the noh8 campaign shoot was hot. and I am topless!!! Just to cause a stir to make people pay attention! xoxo."
Way to rack up some good karma, Kim.

Green asparagus!
I'd always thought it difficult to grow and a fiddle to earth up for the white stuff...then I moved next door to a vineyard where it grew wild and discovered just how good the green stuff was.
After that no garden has been without it...including here.

Does Dot NET supports PKCS11 certificates for HSM devices. If not, are there any other third party utilities available which supports pkcs11 certificates?

Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Not sure what you mean by "HSM device", so you will need to check the specifics of your requirements.
Otherwise .NET does support PKCS9, but no sign of PKCS11 in core .NET (for the former
Outside of core .NET there are some search hits (e.g. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.clm.shared.profiletemplates.smartcardprovidertype(VS.85).aspx).
This library does what you need: http://www.ncryptoki.com
I'm not a .NET specialist but according to Google PKIblackbox has a toolkit for .NET that speaks PCKS#11. Then there exist some PKCS#11-CSP wrappers which allow to access PKCS#11 modules via CryptoAPI, for what I assume .NET world has many helpers. One of such wrappers is CSP11

The Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) or "cash for clunkers" program, launched during the height of the recession with the intention of stimulating the economy, creating jobs, and reducing emissions, was actually far more expensive per job created than alternative fiscal stimulus programs. Ted Gayer and Emily Parker have performed a wide-spread evaluation of the various aspects of the program, from numbers of vehicles traded-in to impact on GDP, cost per job, environmental impact and the types of consumers who took advantage of the program. Among other conclusions, they found that:
The $2.85 billion program provided a short-term boost in vehicle sales, but the small increase in employment came at a far higher implied cost per job created ($1.4 million) than other fiscal stimulus programs, such as increasing unemployment aid, reducing employers' and employees' payroll taxes, or allowing the expensing of investment costs.
Total emissions reduction was not substantial because only about half a percent of all vehicles in the United States were the new, more energy-efficient CARS vehicles.
The program resulted in a small gasoline reduction equivalent only to about 2 to 8 days' worth of current usage.
In terms of distributional effects, compared to households that purchased a new or used vehicle in 2009 without a voucher, CARS program participants had a higher before-tax income, were older, more likely to be white, more likely to own a home, and more likely to have a high-school and a college degree.

Get your home -- and floors -- ready for the holidays
Updated On: Dec 18 2013 03:29:46 PM CST
(NewsUSA) - The holiday season is here, and in no time family and friends will descend upon your home for divine meals and holiday cheer. Now isn't the time to panic, there's plenty of time to prep your house (and your family). Integrating a few of the tips below can help relieve some holiday stress and dress up your home.
* Buy new towels for the bathroom. This is the ideal excuse to replace threadbare towels, which can be done at a reasonable cost.
* Place a runner in the entryway to help absorb slush and snow -- and protect your floors.
* Sharpen your knives -- they are going to get a lot of use in the next couple months.
* Fill scratches in the dining room table with colored wax.
* Clean out the entry closet to allow room for guests' coats and winter gear.
* Treat fabric furniture with protective spray.
* Clean out guestroom dressers or closets. Guests shouldn't have to live out of their suitcases.
* Test your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are functioning properly. Ideally, there are detectors on each floor of the house.
* Place travel-sized toiletries in the bathroom -- someone will surely forget shampoo or toothpaste.
* Purge your fridge. No need for ancient mustard or spoiled mayo, plus the extra space gives you room for your holiday platters and party trays.
* Have your heating and water-heating equipment serviced.
"One of the best ways to stave off unnecessary holiday stress is planning," said Kerri Walker, senior marketing manager at Rinnai. "Prior to holiday occasions, have your heating and water-heating equipment checked by a professional. If it's time to upgrade, this gives you the opportunity to select the ideal unit and have it installed before problems occur."
Although the tips above won't ensure a stress-free holiday season, they will help you prepare. Involve the kids in some of these tasks as well, by making it a game.

Response to include damage assessments, community cleanup, rehabilitations, repairs and new house construction
ATLANTA, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Habitat for Humanity International is launching a multi-phase response to help communities devastated by Superstorm Sandy along the U.S. East Coast. This effort includes a range of services that will address both the short-term and long-term need for safe and decent housing.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20050501/NYSU020LOGO )
"Hurricane Sandy had a devastating impact on many communities and neighborhoods throughout the Northeast," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO, Habitat for Humanity International. "We are mobilizing our resources so that we can help as many families as possible in the near-term as winter approaches. But we also recognize that Habitat's rebuilding and revitalization work in these communities will continue over the long term."
According to FEMA, 95,000 people in New York and New Jersey are eligible for emergency housing assistance.
Habitat for Humanity's Disaster Response team is currently assessing the damage to homes and entire communities throughout the affected areas. This is being done in coordination with local Habitat affiliates, other non-governmental organizations, and government agencies to determine the housing need and available resources at regional, state and national levels.
As part of its initial response effort, Habitat has begun to mobilize its local volunteers to help homeowners make repairs to houses that received damage from the storm and to help with community cleanup efforts.
Over the long-term, Habitat for Humanity will work to build, rehabilitate or repair affordable housing in partnership with low-income families impacted by the storm.
"Funds given to Habitat for Humanity today can help families who need help now and also help communities that will be struggling to rebuild for years to come," said Reckford.
To assist with Habitat for Humanity's Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts today, please visit Habitat.org to donate, volunteer or advocate.
For regular updates, please follow Habitat on Facebook, Twitter or Google Plus.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The finalists for the 2011 Wine Blog Awards have been announced and voting is now open to members of the public. The Wine Blog Awards are the longest running set of awards focused exclusively on the world of Wine Blogs.
If you're reading this wine blog, then chances are you probably read one or two others, and therefore you know better than anyone what passes for compelling content when it comes to wine blogs. Which is why you should exercise your vote and support the folks that spend their time writing about wine for free so you can enjoy it. Vinography has been selected as a finalist in two categories this year: Best Writing, and Best Wine Reviews.
These awards aren't just a chance for you to make your opinion heard, they're also a great way for you to learn about sites you might not know about already, in particular thanks to the Best New Wine Blog category which the awards are featuring for the second year.
Here's a link to the voting form. Voting will close at Midnight on Monday, June 27th. Voting should take about 45 seconds if you're familiar with the candidates, or a bit longer if you want to browse around and check out who's contending for the awards.
Thanks for doing your part to support wine bloggers everywhere, and in particular for your support of Vinography. It's better than any paycheck.
Congrats... it seems however that I am late to the voting. I would've totally put in one for one of my favorite blogs.
Great job.

Piher is a Spanish company that makes clamps – all kinds of clamps.
Earlier this year they introduced an interesting attachment. It fits onto the end of one of their F-style clamps and allows you to spike one end of the clamp into timber and clamp with the other end.
It's easier to show what it does than to explain (see video below). I feel certain I have seen something like this before in a purpose-built clamp (or a clamp that had been altered) used for timber-framing or wooden ship building.

President Obama Congratulates 2009 WNBA Champions
The Council on Women and Girls joined President Obama in welcoming the WNBA's, Phoenix Mercury to the White House. The visit honored their 2009 championship season. The Mercury defeated the Indiana Fever during a five game series this fall, securing their second championship title since 2007.
The women were joined in the State Dining Room by friends, family, excited coaches from local girls' basketball leagues, and some young women leaders. Adrian Morris, from Antioch, California, was one of the young female leaders in the audience. Adrian, who is participating in Running Start's Young Women's Political Leadership Program, said the event was inspiring.
President Obama commended the players for demonstrating true commitment and leadership for aspiring girls around the country. As a father and a fan, the President was thrilled about getting the chance to meet the championship team. After his remarks, the team made a quick change into their jersey's and went outside to join local YMCA youth for a "Let's Move" training session on the White House basketball court. The players high-fived and cheered on the girls and boys, who were excited to get outside and play despite the DC heat wave. When asked what the kids learned from the players, one boy remarked "even though it's hot, never give up!"
To hear more about this exciting visit checkout Phoenix Mercury Guard, Temeka Johnson's White House blog.

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com: Larry Fitzgerald is the face of Arizona Cardinals
According to NFL.com media analyst Bucky Brooks, Larry Fitzgerald is the current face of the Arizona Cardinals.
Fitzgerald, entering his 11th NFL season, all in Arizona, is tied with Darnell Dockett for the longest-tenured player on the roster. Fitzgerald is the team's all-time leader in receptions (846), receiving yards (11,367) and touchdowns (87).
After ripping up the NFL with six 1,000-yard seasons in his first eight years in the league, Fitzgerald's numbers fell off in 2012 when the Cardinals cycled through quarterbacks. The eight-time Pro Bowler improved last season with Carson Palmer under center, but still couldn't crack the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight year. Although the stats might suggest Fitzgerald's game is on the decline, Cardinals officials remain convinced he is a No. 1 receiver with the skills to carry the passing game. Additionally, Fitzgerald is the consummate leader, displaying a tireless work ethic and setting a terrific example for his teammates. Given the Cardinals' re-emergence as a playoff contender in the NFC, Fitzgerald's leadership might be more valuable than his production at this point.
Brooks also thinks Patrick Peterson will be the team's face of the franchise in the future. Peterson raised his local and national profile this offseason when he called out Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM by saying he is not a "shutdown corner."
The Cardinals' shutdown corner is pushing for recognition as the No. 1 cover corner in the NFL after snagging 12 picks during his first three seasons. Peterson exhibits tremendous ball skills and instincts, blanketing the opponent's top receiver each week. In fact, Peterson's exceptional athleticism prompted the team to use him as a designated playmaker on offense and in the return game to take advantage of his extraordinary running skills in the open field. Although the Cardinals plan to reduce his role as a gadget player in 2014, Peterson will continue to shadow the opponent's top pass catcher, allowing the team to be more aggressive with its exotic blitz tactics. If Peterson can continue to thrive as the Cardinals' defensive eraser, he could surpass Joe Haden, Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis as the top dog at the position.

Chicken Wings in the Oven - Best Method?
- m
- mcrowleymiano Aug 30, 2009 04:45 PM
Hey all. I'll be making some chicken wings tomorrow night, without access to a grill. I've heard low and slow in the oven is a good technique, but how about broiling? Time isn't a factor, but I would like crispy skin, rather than greasy, flabby wings. Thanks!
re: mmalmad
Geeee...450 for 45 min for wings seems like a long time--I would be afraid that they would really get dried out. I would roast a whole (small) chicken for about 60 min at that temp....
re: mmalmad
I've done the steaming method and it works very well - it's the same principle behind steaming duck before roasting it - it starts the fat rendering.
It does take surprisingly long to do wings compared to a whole chicken - 45 minutes is not unreasonable.
Broiling, I think, would be too fast for crispy, non greasy wings, as the fat won't have melted out.
Personally, I either skip the sauce and use a dry spice coating, or I use the hot sauce as a dip on the side, because I love the cripsy skin and wing tips so much.
You shouldn't have any trouble crisping them up in the oven; I would refrain from broiling as they can burn so quickly. However, if you cook them and are not happy with the level of browning, you can always put the broiler on for a minute or two at the end. They do tend to splatter and make a bit of a mess, but they should turn out great.
I do this all the time with no drama. Bake the wings at 425 for 30 minutes - flip and bake another 30 minutes. You will end up with delicious crispy wings. Mix equal parts melted butter and Frank's Red Hot sauce, or any other hot Louisiana style sauce you like. Toss with the wings in a giant bowl. Enjoy.
re: Rhody Dave
Hubby does exactly the same method - only 450 for 45 mins, turning at every 15 minutes (so they get two turns). Then he sauces them up with the Franks Red Hot/butter (throws in a few extra dried herbs too, I think it's a proprietary mix ;) and puts them back in the oven for just a few more minutes. Gives them a nice hot flavor without being too drippy. STELLAR oven wings. We have them on Friday nights with beer and fries, no better way to kick off the weekend.
Alton Brown's recipe is the absolute best. He steams them first to get rid of a lot of the fat - that then allows them to crisp up when baked just like deep fried.
re: beggsy
Wow...the reviews are hands-down 5-stars! MUST be a great method...will try it this football season for sure!
re: beggsy
We love this recipe. It's the only one we make at home.
Siobhan's Low Carb Cracklin' Wings
(this is a reinterpretation of another recipe that is higher in carbs, which is why it's called "low carb")
48 chicken wing pieces (24 whole wings separated)
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon Penzey's Adobo Seasoning Mix (this is worth buying and having on hand)
1/4 teaspoon ground chipotle pepper powder (also available from Penzey's and I also recommend keeping this on hand)
1/2 cup butter
5 ounces Frank's hot sauce
Juice of 1 lime
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange two racks so that they're not immediately adjacent and the air can circulate freely in the oven.
Rinse wings, and separate them into two pieces if they are whole. Line two cookies sheets with foil (I use Reynold's nonstick foil, it's great) and spray with nonstick spray (to aid in the cracklin'). Put flour, adobo seasoning, and chipotle pepper into a plastic bag, close and shake to mix it up. Toss the wings in batches in the flour mixture and
arrange on the cookies sheets (I can get 24 to a sheet, more if I cram them).
While the wings are baking, put butter, hot sauce and lime juice in a small saucepot. Simmer and stir well, then set aside until the wings are done (you don't need to do this
until the wings are almost done).
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, then turn all the wings over with some tongs, and bake for another 45 minutes (1 1/2 hours total). Remove from oven and toss with the sauce.
These come out very crispy, though if your wings are on the small side, cut the time to 30 minutes, turn, 30 minutes, instead of 45.
re: Morganna
I have used the Alton Brown method of steaming the wings for several minutes to render off some fo the fat and it does work well. Less smoking and crispier wings. I use a turkey roaster out on the porch to avoid setting off my smoke alarm because even with the steaming, roasting the wings at 425 creates quite a bit of smoke.
I've never had a problem with them drying out, they seemed better and crisper when I left them in even a little longer than he recommended.
I cook them on a wire rack over a rimmed pan in a medium oven until a lot of the fat cooks out, then pull out, toss with dry seasonings and return to the oven on a high heat to crisp up, with a quick dip into the hot sauce as they come out.
Bumping this, as I am trying Alton Brown's method today.
However, I also want to make drumsticks, which I doubt need to be steamed. The question is whether I put the drumsticks into the oven at the same time (20/20) as the wings?
Will their skin crisp up just as much? I guess they should be rather dry, since that seems to be the key for crispy skin, generally.
TIA, CHs!
re: linguafood
Fry, fry, fry. Accept no substitutes.
re: rjbh20
Thanks. While that was certainly the original plan, neither of us have much interest in hanging outside at 5°F, working the fryer in batches.
Anyone have a comment on the OVEN method?
re: linguafood
If you have zillions of wings to prepare, using an outside fryer is the easiest way to go, but I find using a dutch oven on the stove top works as well. A pain to do in smaller batches, but put them on a rack on top of a baking sheet in the oven as they become done and you can do a lot if you work steadily for awhile---and can watch the pre-game programming while you're at it!
I tried baking this year, not pleased with the result. But I didn't see this thread and didn't do the baking powder or ranch dressing and leaving to air dry technique. Guess we'll both be trying that next.
Recently tried oven baking them at 400 for 50 minutes on two cooling racks over a sheet pan, turned sideways so that the wings were suspended as high as possible over the pan. they were marinated beforehand in orange juice, garlic, chili paste, and maggi seasoning.
a little longer than halfway through cooking, tossed them in some sweet chili sauce, then again when they came out. Skin was so crispy and they were not greasy at all.
re: iheartcooking
I had *surprisingly* good results tonight with the Alton Brown method. I was worried that the oven route would let me down.
"Hi! My name is linguafood, and I am a crispiness addict."
Of course, you don't get the greasy goodness of fried wings... but the crisp-factor totally delivers. I did have to increase the time to almost an hour & and ended up cranking the heat up as well (due to an unreliable oven) to "450°".. and just waited until everything looked good to me :-)
Didn't pre-steam the drumsticks, but they still came out juicy and crispy. The only thing that will need a tweak is the sauce....
Sorry I missed the revival of this thread before the Superbowl and when it was just resuscitated. Serious Eats did a thorough examination of this and decided that baking powder is the secret. It takes more time but less effort than the AB method that involves steaming.
I did a bit of modification and discovered that it even works well without the overnight drying, so you can omit that step.
Here's a video:
In a nutshell: toss with s&p (or ranch dressing mix) with some baking powder added (not much!), place on tray, dry overnight (optional but helps), bake. I recommend some non-stick spray on the rack.
re: acgold7
Wouldn't the overnight drying achieve the same results without baking powder?
re: linguafood
Nope. Not as well. The BP changes the pH as well as absorbing the surface moisture and sort of sucking it out of the skin. Drying without the BP -- even up to multiple days -- results in skin that is leathery rather than crispy.
re: acgold7
Cool. I'll try that method sometime, though I was quite happy with the AB method (and didn't have to wait one day!).
re: linguafood
Yeah, it does help with a bit of forethought, but as I noted it's not absolutely required -- it still works without it.
re: acgold7
Saw this method that dredges wings in combination of salt, baking powder, and egg whites before an overnight rest. Anyone try this before?
re: acgold7
I missed this thread before Super Bowl, darn it! Will try one of these days. My baked wings were NOT great. Won't be doing that technique again. The baking powder method looks promising. And even better ranch dressing mix!
re: bravoshark44
I figured that using a rack was obvious.
re: linguafood
I prefer doing them directly on a foil-lined pan because they baste and then crisp in their own fat.
re: shanagain
I bake bacon on a rack, it comes out crisp because of the fat content. I assume wings would be the same. If you "bake" them in their own fat, where is the fat reduction factor? Just wondering. I tried baking this Super Bowl and decided the results weren't wonderful, will probably go back to frying for this one day.
I cook them on the convection setting at 200 C (400 F) in my convection microwave for 40 minutes. It makes the skins super-crispy.
I also put them on the grilling racks and put a pan underneath to catch the grease.

Originally written on Philly Sports Muse | Last updated 11/20/14
Dion Lewis The Philadelphia Eagles have thankfully not been plagued with the rash of player arrests that have afflicted some teams, like the Detroit Lions this off season. But that streak has come to an end. Running back Dion Lewis was arrested over the weekend in Albany, New York with his older brother for pulling trying to gain entry into the hotel's lobby and eventually pulling the fire alarm. Lewis has been charged with a felony count of falsely reporting a fire and also faces misdemeanor reckless endangerment charges. ProFootballTalk details the situation as follows: Lewis was a guest at the Hampton Inn in Albany, where the doors to the lobby are locked at midnight and only a guest key can secure admission. Both men reportedly were intoxicated at the time. Dion Lewis was released following his arraignment. His brother, 35-year-old Lamar Lewis, is being held without bail. This incident has occurred two weeks before training camp, when Lewis is expected to play an important rol...
