heresy or acceptable shortcut?
Unorothox methods in the kitchen? I think it's acceptable (and good)to
microwave previously brewed coffee. What are your shortcuts that you
stand by?
re: Davwud
Reheating it in the microwave's way better than letting it sit all day on the coffee maker warming plate.
re: Pei
I turn off the coffee as soon as it's brewed. The first two cups are plenty hot, and if I want to drink it later in the day, I drink it cold, over ice, as iced coffee. I hate reheated coffee, even in the microwave.
As to short-cuts, I think the worst I do is not perfectly prepping vegetables, especially if they are going into a stew/braise/chili -- I even will chop onions in the cuisinart, so long as the whole thing is getting cooked, and the appearance of the size of the veggie bits doesn't matter to presentation.
I never trim the points off of artichokes, for instance.
re: Caitlin McGrath
I knew someone who stabbed his finger with an untrimmed artichoke petal. Hed ended up with a very nasty and difficult bone infection. I'll continue to trim.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Maybe you can compromise: I rarely cut the points off individually (although it's not that big a deal with a good pair of scissors), but when I don't, I just cut off the whole top of the artichoke just below the tip of the shortest leaf with a thorn (the short leaves around the outside usually don't have thorns). This has the added benefit of allowing me to leave the stem longer and steam them upside down.
re: Junie D
Me too. I thought it was my own dirty little secret.
re: Junie D
Traditionally, you snapped each end and stripped out the strings. With modern varieties where they've bred out the tough strings, it's a waste of time and food to snap off the tip.
re: Junie D
I agree -- not at all necessary to cut off the pointy bits. They taste fine.
re: Maxmillion
I agree, too. I do remember, though, serving string beans to my mother-in-law and leaving the pointed ends on, as my mother always did. . When MOL was finished with her dinner, she left all the pointy ends on her plate.
re: Leslie
Sounds like a passive aggressive statement!
re: Leslie
Did you make a special pointy-ends-pickle for her next time she came?
re: Junie D
I always leave it on too, it looks cute.
re: cheryl_h
Me neither, espec if they're getting chopped up. I understand why one wouldn't want the skin of a whole tomato on their plate, but little bits? Who cares? Not I.
re: Robert Lauriston
Robert, I have this problem regularly since I don't use a coffee maker. After brewing, try putting the coffee into a thermos or insulated tumbler that's been washed out a few times with hot water. Then serve yourself from the tumbler/thermos -- keeps the coffee warm w/o a hotplate for a bit longer. I typically can use the same tumbler/thermos all week long before washing.
re: a_and_w
My coffeemaker has a vacuum carafe, and I scald it before I brew a pot. The last cup or two are still not hot enough.
I'm planning to replace it with a Technivorm, maybe that'll be better-insulated.
re: a_and_w
I just bought a 16 oz. Zojirushi thermos and that baby keeps coffee piping hot! Best $35 I've spent in ages! And it tastes as fresh at 2:30 pm as it does at 5:30 am! The only drawback is the cup/lid is sort of petite. Preheat the thermos and the coffee says hot.
re: toodie jane
I have the Zojirushi bread maker. Only use it to make the dough ( I know, I am lazy). Have never baked a loaf of bread in it- b ut I have had it for more than 10 years, and it is still going strong. Great products.
re: a_and_w
That is disgusting.
re: Davwud
Well- call me strange, but as a born and bred Northerner, I have never had red eye gravy. Funny- have traveled all around the world, and tried most non american cuisine, but my foray into American food culture is sadly lacking! Would love a recipe, though!
re: macca
I guess the easiest way to do it is get yourself a nice piece of country ham. Fry it up in a skillet (Cast iron is best). Salt and pepper it then throw in some left over coffee (it should be no more than an inch deep). Let it simmer for about 15 minutes or so. The ham should start to separate where the fat is. Serve it with grits or scrambled eggs or something like that. I usually add a wedge of onion to it. Gives it a really nice flavour.
re: Davwud
Thanks for the recipe. Will have to try it. Never knew what red eye gravy was!
re: Davwud
Then throw away the country ham. GAWD, I don't know how people eat that stuff. And I'm Southern. But red-eye gravy on grits is pretty nice.
re: MuppetGrrl
Good idea! I live in Boston area- and around here- iced coffee is a year round drink- no matter the season. I drink a cup of hot coffee at home before work, and then make a big cup of iced coffee "to go"- no matter if it is snowing or hot!
re: thenurse
The salt's not really needed for bitterness, but it does help sweat extra liquid from slices to be fried; this results in less oil absorption and a better overall texture.
re: LT from LF
Yeah, for some recipes you need to get the liquid out first.
when making tomato sauce microwave tomatoes for five minutes, saves a couple of hours of cooking time, just make sure you cover well otherwise you will paint your microwave red.
re: KTinNYC
Same here.
I do a similar thing with flour-thickened sauces: melt the butter, take it off the heat, whisk in the flour until smooth, whisk in the cold liquid, then back on the heat. Works fine.
Actually, come to think of it, these days I usually make polenta in the oven using the recipe from Paula Wolfert's Mediterranean Grains and Greens--which she got off a package of California polenta.
re: Robert Lauriston
And risotto. If my stock is room temp or cold, I just add it slowly.
Want to share the oven polenta recipe?
re: KTinNYC
I've been doing the virtually no-stir method of polenta making. Either on stove top and stir for one minute each ten-minute period, or pop into the oven for entire time and just stir at the very end. I think it turns out fine, it's not such a Big Chore to make as side dish, and frees you up for something else for oh, 40 minutes!
I never de-seed tomatoes or cucumbers or run sauces/liquids through sieves. Why throw all that good stuff away? I'd rather eat it chunky.
When I make sauces or stir-fry, I don't bother to cut off the tops of garlic. Also, I don't take the skin off of carrots or potatoes (unless they are really dirty).
re: mielimato
What do you mean by "tops of garlic"? You mean your garlic has sprouted?
re: Robert Lauriston
No worst. The brown tops from the other end. If it is really think and knobby, I cut it off but often I don't.
re: mielimato
You mean the roots?
re: mielimato
I meant "worse." Yup, the roots.
re: mielimato
I don't either, particularly if I'm going to pound it into something like curry paste.
re: mielimato
Cooked carrot skins can be bitter.
re: LoDega
all you skin eaters: carrots, potatoes, cucumbers..if they are
washed, the skins are good for you.
re: serious
Some cucumber varieties have really bitter skins. The ones that don't, there's usually no reason to peel them.
I microwave corn on the cob. Not really heresy, but haven't gone back to boiling ever since.
I use mayo instead of coddled egg and fish sauce instead of anchovies in my caesar salad dressing. Ok. Calling it caesar salad dressing is really a stretch. I mean in my RealLemon-EVOO-mayo-fish sauce-garlic-salt dressing.
Actually I'm the queen of taking the long cut to do everything when I'm really cooking. It's that anal retentive obsessive compulsive thing. So for daily meals I rely on semi-homemade. When I really cook, it's hours to do even the simplest things.
re: Alice Patis
We microwave corn and other vegetables to par-cook them, then grill them to crisp and add more complex flavor.
re: serious
You're right, I do it that way also and add some parmesan and garlic powder. I use the microwave method for when I want to top with sauce, although I think my husband prefers them roasted (especially when I wrap proscuitto around them before baking!)
re: serious
When ever I read a "never prepared it another way" comment, I think "that person has all the time in the world to cook."
I love roasted veggies, but waiting for the oven to heat to 450 just to roast some veggies is too time consuming for a work day, not to mention a huge waste of energy. The microwave definitely has its place, and that place is helping me get dinner on the table 20 minutes after I walk in the door.
re: serious
The taste IS different and, I think, superior; but you know what? I find that my handy-dandy toaster oven heats up a LOT faster than my regular oven and works great for asparagus.
re: serious
I use the toaster oven for roasting asparagus, as well! Takes only 20 minutes, tops. Usually less.
I use the microwave to cook rice instead of a rice cooker. A 2-1, water to rice(jasmine)ratio and the microwave on 1/2 power for 35 to 40 minutes.
Wow I do lots of these things: never peel carrots, cucumbers, or tomatoes (ok, rarely tomatoes), don't salt eggplant, don't cut the pointy bits off string beans, make "hands-free" polenta in the oven (thanks to the Chowhound who gave me that tip).
If they sold already-peeled garlic cloves in a plastic container in any of the shops near me (like they do in NYC), I'd probably buy them, too. Mark Bittman said it was ok. But to date they don't, so I'm out of danger for now.
I alway use canned beans. Lots of purists recommend using dried beans purchased in bulk, but I never have time to soak and cook them. Beside, they never turn out as good as canned beans with the salty juice rinsed off.
It amazes me how many articles I read about how to improve one's diet with bean and legumes. The same articles, usually in general publications for non-cooks, then say that only dried beans will do, effectively guaranteeing that almost no readers will eat more beans because using dried is just too much of a hassle.
re: silverbear
Yes -- I do this too. I eat canned beans at least twice a week. If I had to cook them, I NEVER would eat beans. They taste great out of a can; I could not agree more.
re: DanielleM
I can count the number of times I've soaked and cooked dried beans on one hand and still have enough fingers free to give the purists a British "up yours" gesture.
Canned beans are one of those things that are so good (once you find the right kind and the right brand) that there's absolutely no reason to do it yourself -- and I say this as an almost-but-not-quite-Alice-Patis-level long-cut person, who whips cream by hand using a whip because I'm convinced that it tastes different.
re: Das Ubergeek
A&W garbanzos are always on hand here for sudden hummus productions. However, when I want refried black beans, which is frequently, I cook my own - from scratch - and make enough for several meals. Just dump the beans into a pot, cover with water, and put on a slow simmer and forget about them for 1-1/2 or 2 hours. Mash them and there you are. Homemade black beans are way better than Rosarita's.
re: silverbear
shhhh... don't tell but depending on what I'm doing with the canned beans, I don't always even rinse them! For a salad, sure, but for chili or bean dip - I drain them lightly just by pressing the lid down, and then throw them in the pot. Then I adjust how much I salt the recipe, it's not brain surgery!
And um, I actually buy hummus. I am embarrassed about that one. I know how to make it, hell my mom was making it 25 years ago before you could buy it in any grocery store. But I just find it so convenient to have it ready in the fridge, it's a healthy and filling snack that both my husband and I enjoy. The 9-month old chowpup seems to like it too!
My personal pet nutrition-media peeve is when they extol canola and olive oil in the same sentence. Canola has no flavour, it isn't going to provide the same satisfaction and could turn a person off healthy eating pretty quick.
re: julesrules
Hummus is not difficult to make, but we eat so much of it and like the Trader Joe's brand so much, that we always use store bought as well.
Regarding canola oil, I agree that it is certainly not appropriate for salad dressings and other situations in which you wish for the oil to add flavor. Nevertheless, there are situations in which the oil should not add flavor. Baking comes to mind. Likewise, I would generally avoid olive oil in most Asian cooking. I think the flavor of olive oil would clash with the spices and flavors in most Chinese, Thai, Indian, etc.
re: silverbear
Sure canola has its place, I agree, I guess the point is that they aren't interchangeable just because they're both healthy.
re: julesrules
When someone's expected to drop by, I will literally whip up (in my blender) some hummus. There's that fresh garlic hit and the fresh lemon tang, and I get my Martha Stewart Kitchen Queen moment. Plus, at just under $2 for a pound's worth it's cost effective.
re: Sharuf
Oh, you hit me where it hurts! I know, it's easy, it does taste better, and it's cheaper. Just the other day I was eating my Dad's and noting the fresh garlic and lemon flavours. But we agreed that cleaning the blender is a b*tch. Also when I was doing my own I couldn't leave well enough alone and kept trying variations - wasabi, etc - and they never turned out well (I hate to follow a recipe). They have several variations at the grocery so we can switch it up.
I have an idea I haven't seen at the store though - chipotle baba ganough Wouldn't the smokey flavours work well together?
Mushrooms: I used to quickly rinse them and quickly dry them up using paper towel, and no change in texture, flavor, whatever, but it wasn't getting as thoroughly cleaned as I wanted. Now, I damp up some paper towel sheets, most of the water squeezed out, then use it to wipe the mushrooms--easier, quicker, cleaner. Still no change in texture and flavor and whatever.
re: Dominus
This is reputed to be the better way to clean mushrooms, although I don't remember why. So you're actually ahead of the curve here. I'm still a rinser.
re: Dominus
That's not heresy, that's the proper way to treat a mushroom. Mushrooms get waterlogged if you wash them too thoroughly. I do a variant; quick rinse under light spray to get off any big pieces of dirt, then wipe dry (and clean).
I don't peel apples for pie, sauce or crisp. I buy from organic farmers who don't use pesticides (GOD, I love living in California!) and all the flavour's two millimetres under the skin and gets cast off when you peel.
I never salt eggplant. Ever.
I never heat up the stock or broth I use for cooking. It just isn't necessary and it's another pan to wash.
I save strained bacon grease in a sealed container in the fridge so I don't have to waste time rendering bacon just for the pork fat.
I make pie crust and biscuits with my hand because I cut myself every time I clean the pastry blender, and I've never mastered the art of two knives.
I use fish sauce in unexpected places (pan gravy, for example) because it lends that particular depth of flavour, but I won't tell anyone about it, because it freaks them out.
My embarrassing secret is that I've played up how elegant and wonderful zabaglione is to our friends and relatives, because I want them to think that I've made this concoction specially for them, when in reality it means I finished cooking and realised I didn't have a dessert...I always have eggs, sugar and Marsala wine on hand.
re: Das Ubergeek
I totally use fish sauce in my bolognese sauce every time, and my wife loves it but would absolutely freak if I told her it was in there.
re: Das Ubergeek
I probably don't need to tell you to be careful with your fish sauce tricks and guests. I have a friend who goes into anaphalactic shock if his steak is cooked in a pan that recently held fish... Poor guy has never eaten Thai nor Vietnamese cuisine.
re: Maxmillion
Right, I'm aware of the fish problem. Fortunately nobody's allergic to fish... seafood, yes, but not fish.
re: Das Ubergeek
I don't peel apples for pie and sauce either. (grow my own organically...willing to share w/ the bees) BUT...I just learned last week, if you are going to cook it down to apple butter...the peels really do take away from the product. I suppose the smooth "buttery" texture is part of the appeal of apple butter.
re: pws
nuts? add those people who think it's too much trouble to soak
beans. It's a pretty passive activity and a much better tasting
result. Canned beans are too mushy and the variety of dried beans
is greater and more interesting. Plus..what's more tasty than beans
marinated while still warm?
re: serious
Canned beans are fine if you're going to cook them, IMHO. It's in salads when you want a less mushy bean that cooked rather than canned is really best. But I keep a good supply of several types of organic canned beans in my pantry.
re: NYchowcook
Any particular brand you recommend?
re: serious
I'm the orignal "nut" (at least in this thread) who strongly prefers canned beans and finds soaking to be a pointless ordeal. Trader Joe's stocks canned organic kidney beans, chick peas, pinto beans, and black beans. I buy all four varieties regularly and find the quality uniformly good without too much mushiness.
re: serious
I like Eden and Westbrae (both organic) in cans.
(But I must confess I am very happy to have some fresh cranberry beans in my refrigerator!)
re: serious
Soaking beans requires more forethought than I'm willing to give a weeknight dinner, and I hate eating leftovers, so I'm not about to make them at the weekend and warm them over later in the week.
re: serious
I'm totally with you on this one, dressed warm beans are the best!
re: Das Ubergeek
I have never in my life salted an eggplant and don't intend to start. And they taste great to me as is.
I rarely soak beans, unless I'm planning to make a soup a few days ahead. And even then, I've only done it twice.
My dirty li'l secrets: lowfat or fat-free sour cream; nonfat yogurt in place of mayo in tuna or egg salad; and I use 2% milk for most recipes, including white sauce.
I never, nevereverever, use anything but pure-bred delicious butter, though!
re: wolive
Yeah, isn't it terrific? We made a brown rice salad with it last week. Mmm, lemon, a variety of curry spices, apples, poached raisins, and a little mayo. Dang! My husband makes a quick salad of TJ's brown rice, red onions, toasted pine nuts, feta, olive oil, tomato, s& p. The texture is just great and my goodness brown rice is such a pain otherwise I won't make it.
I put corn on the cob in pot with cold water, & turn it off when it comes to a boil, leave it for a few minutes while I finish whatever else needs doing and then eat the corn. Never have overcooked corn, and saves time and energy.
When really in a rush for boiling water, boil it in an electric kettle while element is heating, and then pour it into the pot.
Many others already mentioned: If cooking just for myself, never trim any king of bean. If I can avoid it I try not to peel veggies or fruit(besides the fibre is good for you).
Cut cheese into rough cubes for homemade pizza rather than shredding, or drop on a couple of spoonfuls of chèvre instead.
Wow... none of you have mentioned the biggest shortcut of all.
My amazingly moist legendary chocolate cake starts with a box mix... unbeknownst to all but one friend who has been sworn to secrecy.
(I draw the line however at canned frosting and always top it with a homemade ganache using really good chocolate).
re: Jennalynn
uh oh..heresy! (The truth is I've never tried a box mix - but I've
read those boxes.)
re: Jennalynn
I suppose that's OK depending on the box... there are some very good "natural" boxed cake mixes at Whole Paycheque or our local co-op. If it's Betty Crocker or Duncan Heinies or any of that ilk, where the ingredients include things you'd find in a chemistry lab (or worse yet, HFCS in the little pudding packet), though, it's heresy.
re: Das Ubergeek
Then it's a good thing I'm hiding behind this nom de plate!
; )
re: Das Ubergeek
I have worked the pastry station professionally and I have used good quality boxed cakes mixes when I am rushed at home on occasion. They are 95% as good as a scratch cake and occasionally they are better. They have access to ingredients that you and i would have to search for years to find, and with a few quality add-ins (Penzeys spices and vanilla or Ghirdella cacao powder)I have served them to very discriminating friends and they cant tell the difference. I always make my frostings, ganache or mousse to ice/garnish them with.
I was shocked when Alton Brown mentioned the same technique when he did his cake/icing episodes.
Baking brownies are a different matter , as I can make them from scratch with top shelf ingredients just as fast as a boxed mix and there is no comparison in the finished taste.
If you ever in the weeds (rushed) for icing, I learned to use a bag of bittersweet/semisweet chocolate chips and 2 TB of cream or 1/2-1/2 melted in the nuke box and then whisked briskly for a few minutes. Simply spread chocolate baking chips on a sheet cake/brownies will be even faster and most people rave about the richness.
I used to feel guilty when I left the tips of green beans on, I don't feel so bad now.
re: Kelli2006
I've done the exact same thing with the melted chocolate for icing -- I usually add a little bit of oil to it, and I usually temper it for the effect ("Oooooh, SHINY!").
What are your go-to good-quality bake mixes? I have to admit that I generally hate making fiddly cakes, so if there are boxed shortcuts that are good (and not full of disgusting chemicals), I'd love to hear about it!
re: Das Ubergeek
I have used King Arthur's, www.bakerscatalogue.com cake mixes with great results and even Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker mixes are possible if I am rushed. I know they have a lot of unpronounceable ingredients, but most are there to make sure that the home cook does not develop excessive gluten and to guarantee proper texture, moisture, and crumb. It's fashionable to attack them but they are predictable and should be a pantry staple. Boxed mixes aren't a excuse for proper technique, but they work well and have saved me when I am rushed.
I love King Arthur's Round Table pastry flour, but it can be difficult for the home cook to find at a reasonable price. I buy a 25Lb bag per year from the food service distributor and split it among 2 friends.
re: TexasToast
that's it, TT-the secrets out :)
and now I'm learning to use truffle oil on the pizza thanks to CHow!
re: HillJ
I thought I was the only person to do that? And it started because it was the easiest way to get only the toppings I liked and none that I didn't! The truffle oil came from Chef Nick Badovinus at Dallas' Fireside Pies.
re: Covert Ops
I think that's the first thing I've read in here that I would actually qualify as heresy! :)
re: Covert Ops
...are you taking the mickey? You don't really do that.
re: Das Ubergeek
Yes, I do.
Warm the soup, add milk, parmesan cheese, some black pepper, simmer until thick.
I didn't come up with this on my own, y'know. . .I think the recipe actually came off the can!
It's not "real" alfredo sauce, which I appreciate as much as the next person. . .but it's quick, easy, a way to sneak in mushrooms when the dear stepkids hate them, and pretty yummy!
re: Covert Ops
Take 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup (prepare as directed), 2 cans of creamy corn, stir them together, put in loads of tomatos (fresh!), potatoes, or chives, cilantro, Italian parsley, and diced cubed ham if you desire, and you'll get a pretty decent "corn chowder."
Believe me, more people make this than you would imagine...how do you think I found out?
Bags of peeled garlic cloves, vacuum sealed, 4 cloves to a pack, about 8 packs per bag. Hard to find, but when I see them, I buy 3 or 4 bags. They stay fresh several weeks in the fridge.
I buy already peeled garlic and pre-prepped veggies (in NYC...FreshDirect ROCKS!!).
My biggest secret is that the soup I make in the winter that has gotten raves (smokey bacon, veggies, beans, beautiful broth) is all made in the microwave in about 20 minutes total (Gasp!) and the broth is not homemade. The soup tastes amazingly complex and like it simmered all day.
And the WORST one that really gets people is that my favorite, favorite, favorite broth is from a cube made by a Mexican company that sells them for $1.99 a box. The most chickeny, rich flavor of any broth I've tried - including my own homemade.
I use Miracle Whip in my devilled eggs. Nothing else tastes the same.
I think you people now know quite enough of my secrets....
re: dee lannon
Sorry - according to the package made in Venezeula - Maggi (underneath says "Tu Sabor Latino!"). Looks like it is distributed in the US by Nestle. Had to parse it out because the package isn't english and i'm not bi-lingual.
re: krissywats
Thanks - always looking for a quality quick buillion for when my freezer is empty of my stock!
ooh. soup recipe, please? shorthand is fine.
I pregrate expensive parmesan and gruyere cheeses and keep them in plastic containers in the freezer for doling out over a couple of months. My cheese guy would yell at me if he found out, as he likes to talk about how cheese is still alive. Heresy to some, I guess.
re: serotonin
I thought I had it in my online file, but I don't. I'll try to find it in my recipes today (I don't remember enough to shorthand even) and post it.
Not necessarily an unacceptable shortcut, but heresy considering the source (ok, I admit it, Rachael Ray)...to perfectly cook a plaintain for mashing (i.e for mangu, mofongo, etc), cut a slit along the side of the plantain, wrap in waxed paper, twisting the ends shut, and nuke for 90 seconds-2 min.

Picture a foreboding, hissing snake rising before you. Chances are that your reaction would be to back away — and that's exactly the effect that your cat is going for when he hisses.
In fact, it's believed that feline hissing is a form of protective mimicry — an animal mimics a more dangerous creature to protect itself if it feels threatened.
When a cat channels his inner snake, he flattens his ears so that his head resembles the narrow head of a snake. At the same time, he exposes his fanglike teeth — adding some spit for good measure — while swishing his tail in a serpentine manner.
Although this is normal and happens occasionally in all felines, a hissing cat should not be taken lightly. It's a warning that more aggressive behavior, such as
biting or
scratching, is coming if you don't give him some space.
If your
cat hisses a lot, especially when he's handled, it may indicate that he's in pain. So have your vet examine your kitty to rule out any underlying medical causes, such as
arthritis or
dental disease. Other conditions, such as
hyperthyroidism and nervous system disorders, can also lead to hissing.
If your veterinarian doesn't detect any medical problems, and you want to minimize the behavior, you need to determine what's causing your cat to have a hissy fit.
Some examples of why your
cat may hiss at people and other pets:
Fear-induced aggression. Your cat may feel threatened by new people, noises or other changes in the household.
Redirected aggression. If your cat is interrupted when he's in "territorial mode" while watching another cat outside, he may inadvertently hiss at you.
Asocial aggression. Cats who were not socialized properly as kittens may be fearful of people and pets.
Petting-induced aggression. A cat may hiss to indicate that he's reached his threshold while being handled.
Inter-cat aggression. Although this type of aggression is often associated with male
cats who haven't been neutered, any adult cat may bully others in the household over territorial conflicts.
Predatory aggression. Cats may view other pets in the household —
birds, gerbils and guinea pigs — as prey and become agitated when they're near them.
Once you've determined what's causing your cat to hiss, you can work with your veterinarian or a professional trainer to take steps to either avoid the triggers or reduce the underlying fear or aggression. With any luck, your cat will have nothing left to hiss about.

-Disintegrate missile speed Increase
-Making Molten Shield's resists apply on Tibbers if cast on Annie while Tibbers is summoned
-Make Tibber's movement speed scale per levels
-Rework incinerate's animation so that it doesn't make Annie idle when cast
Why increase disintegrate's missile speed ? They reworked Cho'Gaths' rupture to make it quick
They also increased Sivir's Boomerange missile speed. Everything shows that the current physics of the game are rendering spells quicker. Annie's disintegrate missile speed is thus outdated.
Why make molten's shield resists also apply to Tibbers ? These resists are overall noticeable only late-game since level 1 molten's shield only gives 20 armor/MR. There is no apparent reason to put a level on molten's shield until lvl 8,giving it a "stun charger" role. All other reasons are carefully discussed on this thread :
Why make Tibber's movement speed scale?
Senior Member
Really? I totally pubstomp with Annie every day in solo queue. She is perfectly fine in my opinion. O.o'
If anything, make a thread about how bad that nerf is to DFG. I mean seriously, I can understand nerfing the cdr on it, but removing it completely?
well w/e patch is done :/
Annie is in a fine spot imo.

FRIDAY, March 5 (HealthDay News) -- People who are obese are at increased risk of developing depression and, conversely, depressed people are at increased risk of developing obesity, according to a meta-analysis published in the March issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.
Floriana S. Luppino, M.D., of the Leiden University Medical Center in the Netherlands, and colleagues reviewed the medical literature up to March 2008 on overweight (body mass index 25 to 29.99) and obesity (body mass index ≥30) and their links to depression. The reviewers screened 2,937 articles, reviewed 80, and performed meta-analyses on 15 studies covering 58,745 subjects.
The reviewers found that baseline overweight and obesity both increased the risk of onset of depression at follow-up (odds ratios, 1.27 and 1.55, respectively). This association between obesity and depression was stronger among American than European subjects and for depressive disorder as opposed to depressive symptoms. The association between overweight and depression was significant for adults (20 to 59 and ≥60 years of age) but not for subjects under 20 years of age. Conversely, depression increased the risk for developing obesity (odds ratio, 1.58) but was not predictive of overweight.
"This meta-analysis confirms a reciprocal link between depression and obesity. Obesity was found to increase the risk of depression, most pronounced among Americans and for clinically diagnosed depression. In addition, depression was found to be predictive of developing obesity," the authors write.

"Lee understands the way kata works and in this book he reveals how Ananko contains knowledge of great value to the modern day martial artist. Personally, I don't think it matters if one practises the kata or not in order to benefit from reading this book.
NEW BOOK: "Practical Applications of the Shotokan Kata Jion and Jiin" by Carsten Schmitt:
Hi All,
Please let's help one of our own get his book moving. I've seen the draft (and written a foreword which you can see below) and it's a very thorough book. Just about every historical chart of vulnerable areas is examined in the book and it makes for interesting reading; regardless of the personal emphasis one places on pressure points, or whether one takes a western medicine or "chi based" approach. Please read Nikolaj's introduction, watch his video, and then read my forward. If you like what you see, then please follow the indiegogo links and get your copy :-)
Jamie Clubb's book is soon to be released! Jamie is a good friend and I believe him to be one of the most thoughtful, insightful and erudite martial artists I've ever met. Phone calls between Jamie and I are never short affairs ("quick chats" typically last over an hour) as we share thoughts and bounce our various martial musings off one another.
What Martial Arts (or related) Podcasts are recommended?
Currently I subscribe to (in alphabetical order so as to not show preference:)
- Grapplearts Radio (Stephen Kesting, Brazilian Jiujitsu)
- Iain Abernethy
- Kris Wilder
- Martial Secrets (Lawrence Kane & Kris Wilder)
- richardbarnes.com (although there hasn't been a new podcast in ages)
- The Geof Thompson Inspired Podcast (BY a Martial Artist and with reference to Martial Arts, but not really a Martial Arts podcast)
I some times question the value of a ranking system in karate and would like to hear what others think.
Chris Denwood tells us about his latest book, 'Naihanchi (Tekki) Kata: The Seed of Shuri Karate Vol. 1'.
This is the first of a three part project that covers an integrated and comprehensive 'five-layer' study into Naihanchi Kata, a form that along with Sanchin from the Naha line, has always been considered a fundamental part of the art's combative methodologies.
Hi everyone,
as I often pointed out Henning Wittwer is my No.1 source for Karate history related information. He put a couple of previously in English puplished articles into one book and it is now available via Lulu.
Title of the book is:

Acampora Heart Saver Award at a dinner at the Crest Hollow Country Club. The award is named for a Long Island teenager who succumbed to a sporting injury that is understood to have been preventable if a cardiac medical device had been immediately on-scene and applied.
"I hope that I have made a real difference in my town and the world around me to help prevent death and improve the quality of people's lives" said Brenner.

After consecutive seasons of finishing runner-up in the men's golf Player of the Year for the Skyline Conference, Christian Bleck of St. Joseph's took home first place in a rather unlikely turn of events.
After a herniated disc caused the Chaminade High School alum to miss every event after the first week of the season until the conference tournament, Bleck returned—without even having the luxury of practicing a full 18 holes—and competed with the best players the conference has to offer.

The Mineola Mustang boys cross-country team won the division 4A championship recently at Bethpage State Park. This is the first championship for the program since 1974, ending a 40-year championship drought.
Mineola defeated Seaford, who also entered the undefeated in division competition, 38-20. Overcoming rain and high winds throughout the race, many Mustangs ran personal records for the 5K in route to the victory.

Anyone tested early with Home Preg test?

Anyone tested early with Home Preg test?
|Mon, 03-26-2007 - 2:07pm
We just did our first IVF cycle with DE. Has anyone tested early with a home pregnancy test? Since we did not use the trigger shot with DE, how early can we test. Has anyone had any success with that?
|Tue, 03-27-2007 - 6:20am
Yes, I tested early, d14pER, or 11 days pET. I tested the morning of my first Beta. Got a BFN!!! Went in, did my Beta and went home and slept for 2 to 3 hours. The nurse called me and said "congratulations your pregnant" I can't even tell you how absolutely shocked I was.!!!! Those HPT's are evil. Oh, BTW my first Beta was 350!!!! I still tested neg when I POAS. So, I know it's so hard to wait, but I would not trust the neg. reasult of a HPT. (you can get a false neg. and only get a false pos. if you have had an HCG trigger shot). HTH
I also know many others that test neg. and turned out to be preggers.
|Sun, 04-08-2007 - 6:01am
The only time I didn't test with an HPT was when I finally actually got pregnant.

Barre water line break creates sinkhole
Staff Report
BARRE A high-pressure water line blew out Wednesday night, creating a massive sinkhole in the middle of Third Street that prompted the residential streets closure to through traffic.
City Engineer Reg Abare said it wasnt clear what caused the break that was reported at 8:30 p.m., but the problem was quickly isolated using gate valves on either end of the short street that runs between North Main and Beckley streets.
With the break easily contained and no one believed to be without water, Abare said, repairs were pushed off until Thursday morning to avoid overtime expenses associated with night work.
According to Abare, the section of 8-inch cast iron pipe is several decades old and could have fractured due to a water hammer caused by a fire hydrant being opened and quickly closed. He said he hadnt had time to explore that theory.
Third Street remained closed to through traffic Thursday while the high-pressure line was being repaired.MORE IN This Just InWHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Prosecutors have dropped an assault charge against a Vermont man who...

Arizona Diamondbacks
Diamondbacks pitcher Chase Anderson makes history with fourth straight win
Last month, Chase Anderson was a Double-A Mobile BayBear. Now an undefeated major league pitcher with the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Wichita Falls, Tex. native joined a unique group on Tuesday, when he bested the Colorado Rockies in a game his team won 4-2.
Anderson went 6.0 innings, allowing four hits, two walks and a run, en route to his fourth win in as many career starts.
He became just the fifth pitcher in the last 16 years to accomplish such a feat in the process.
Since 1998, only the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim's Jered Weaver, the Pittsburgh Pirates' Gerrit Cole, and former Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Kazuhisa Ishii and former Cleveland Indians pitcher Scott Lewis have won each of their first four starts.
Anderson won his debut against the Chicago White Sox and hasn't turned back, beating three straight National League West opponents in the Dodgers, San Diego Padres and Rockies.
At 4-0, his earned run average is a cool 3.32 on the season.

With G-Unit's 50 Cent known for adding punch to Twitter on a regular basis, SOHH recently hit up the platinum-selling rap star to learn more about his status with the popular social networking site.
Fif said fans should appreciate his frequent tweets as rap stars like close friend Eminem do not have the same activity on their pages.
"You know what Twitter does? You see people like, they forget that you're actually, well, [it makes you realize] maybe you shouldn't actually talk to them," Fif told SOHH. "Or maybe not respond to the things that they're actually saying because then they actually try to have a reason to aid you in finding yourself in a confused point. You could just take the Twitter and [seldom use it]. Like, when Em does it, it's something specific. He's notifiying you of something. He'll send a message saying "Go here" or what's happening, it's specific things. You don't actually have to talk to him. He's just telling you what it is." (SOHH)
The G-Unit leader also pointed out why he often gets targeted by Twitter bullies.
"When you're an artist and have an aggressive aura to you, people are urged to be aggressive enough to say something to you," Fif added, "and at that particular point, it's the only place that they could. They couldn't say it to you face-to-face because they'd end up in an awkward situation, like standing upside down on their head. [laughs] They're not [brave enough] to say it face-to-face, they're not strong enough to say the things they'd want to say to you and it's why they're on Twitter. When you look at it, you go, "Wow, look around. How many other artists do you see corresponding to their fans?" (SOHH)
In mid-November, Fif vowed to take a break from the popular social network.
"I'm leaving twitter today to many anal people.get a retweet some were else. Lol SMSaudio," Fif tweeted November 18th.
"I'm not responding to anything,just shooting out information. SMSaudio" (50 Cent's Twitter)
Back in 2010, G-Unit's DJ Whoo Kid revealed what triggered Fif's Twitter addiction.
"I think he got the new iPhone and they put the [Twitter] app on there. And then [Tony] Yayo was talking about 'go on' and he just started wildin' out. Once he saw how easy it was, that was it. Because before, he had a Blackberry, he didn't really care too much about going online. Whatever he needed to promote, he had somebody promoting it. But now he has it in the palm of his hands, and he's going bezerk. He cursed me out on there like twice. I'm like a f*cking human punching bag on Twitter. But it's all good because the more they curse me out, the more followers I get…This is like a nightmare now that he has 3 million followers, and I'm assuming he's trying to break the 5 million follower capacity. But making him mad and he has Twitter is a nightmare , so I would suggest not to go at him too tough. Leave him alone. Because basically whatever he says on Twitter, everybody knows." (VIBE)

Playing for the Cause Helps Out Those in Need

When the Iguanas hit St. Louis this week, Mardi Gras will be long gone, the debauched spirit of excess replaced by solemnity and temperance. Not that it matters much to the New Orleans band, the rare act whose sound is a product of the Crescent City without being fenced in by NOLA's zydeco/second-line/ragtime caricatures. On the recent Plastic Silver 9 Volt Heart, the five-piece mixes Latin rhythms, twangy strumming and bottom-heavy horns, all supporting Rod Hodges' rich, seductive baritone. Imagine mixing Mark Ribot's Cubano fixation with Morphine's barroom mash-notes, and you get a good idea what the Iguanas are after.
