40-somethings' 2003 success no fluke
The future of golf might still be filled with strapping young bombers who manhandle golf courses with power and precision. There could very well be a day when workout-crazy players dominate the PGA Tour, where limber bodies filled with youth rule the land.
It's all well and good that the 40-somethings showed signs of life in 2003, but what the tour really needs is for the younger generation to take the reins in 2004. Golf needs the 20-somethings desperately. The PGA Tour needs guys like Chad Campbell, Jonathan Byrd, Sergio Garcia, Charles Howell III and Adam Scott to take their games to the next plateau this season. Otherwise, we're going to be talking about the same cast of characters for the next five years. And that's bad for golf.
These guys aren't kids anymore, you have to remember. They're peers of Tiger Woods, who turned 28 a few days ago. Most of the players we're talking about are four or five years into their careers and should be ready to take that next step.
A couple of years ago, a handful of young players earned their first victories, only to follow that up with disappointing seasons in 2003. Now it's time for a few of these guys to produce multi-win seasons or contend in majors. They're a talented bunch, and here's hoping they're ready to showcase that talent week in and week out on tour.
But it has yet to happen. And it might still be awhile before it does.
If last season was any indication, the 40-something generation will still be a force in 2004.
When the season-opening Mercedes Championships commences in Hawaii next week, there will be more players 40 or older (11) in the winners-only field than 20-somethings (six). In fact, one of them, Craig Stadler, is 50.
Other 40-somethings who came up big in 2003 but won't be in the Mercedes field include Jay Haas, now 50, Nick Price, Jeff Sluman and Brad Faxon, who had his best season since 1997.
"You can't put a price on the experience factor, because it's huge,'' said Kenny Perry, 43, who had a career year, winning three times and having a stretch of eight consecutive top-10 finishes. "I've been out here a long time, and I know these golf courses, what pins to hit at or not. And it's rare I'm going to come across a putt I haven't already had.''
In 2002, the tour had 18 first-time winners, suggesting a trend of fearless newcomers taking on the elite. But last year, that was far from the case.
In 2003, there were just seven first-timers, highlighted by the major championship victories of Ben Curtis and Shaun Micheel and the Tour Championship win by Chad Campbell.
Meanwhile, Stadler won the B.C. Open, while Vijay Singh, 40, had a career year, claiming the tour money title and winning four times. Then there was Perry with three wins. Scott Hoch, 47, Fred Couples, 44, Peter Jacobsen, 49, Bob Tway, 44, Kirk Triplett, 41, J.L. Lewis, 43, Tommy Armour III, 44, and John Huston, 42, all won tournaments.
The winners in their 20s: Tiger Woods, Ben Crane, Rory Sabbatini, Curtis, Adam Scott and Campbell.
"People talk about all the money we're playing for,'' said Price, a three-time major championship winner. "Well, I'm not hitting balls thinking about how much money I'll make. I'm hitting balls because I feel I have a chance to win.''
So are the younger players doomed? Hardly.
It's just that they are not making the quick impact expected. The leap from college stardom to pro success is huge and not guaranteed.
And, perhaps, it has something to do with all the expectations. The pressure to perform combined with awareness by older players that they need to gear up has led to a tougher existence.
Charles Howell III failed to win in 2003 and has just one PGA Tour victory despite big credentials. Long-bombing Hank Kuehne had a strong season to finally earn his PGA Tour card for 2004, but he has found getting into contention as tough as getting onto the fairway.
Campbell, the PGA Championship runner-up to Micheel, has been said to be destined for stardom, and maybe his Tour Championship victory will lead to many more.
Scott won the Deutsche Bank tournament in Boston and gave Woods a scare at the Match Play Championship. Howell, Campbell and Scott are still the best bets to have a profound impact.
Trends come and go in golf. It could very well be that a slew of younger players emerges this year to challenge.
But it won't be easy.
What the older players lack in limberness, they make up for in guile.
Sluman went eight years without winning but has four victories since turning 40. Hoch has eight consecutive $1 million seasons. Loren Roberts was winless until age 38 but has knocked off six wins since his 40th birthday.
The 40-somethings credit desire for most of their success.
"I think you have a passion and a love for the game at this age to go out and compete against these young kids,'' Sluman said. "So I think there is a whole bunch of little reasons that go into the whole recipe of guys being able to continue to play well. And when you see somebody else doing it, you say why can't I? And I really think that has an effect on a lot of guys.''
"There are a lot of reasons, but I still think if a person has got a desire, I think your body can only start giving out when you get to your mid-50s in golf,'' Price said.
Some success undoubtedly has to do with the Champions Tour, which provides an incentive for players to continue competing throughout their 40s. Although there are many examples of players who tapered off as they approached the magical age of 50, there isn't much letdown from someone like Haas, who is now eligible for senior golf but plans to play more on the PGA Tour and hopes to qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup team.
Many players point to Hale Irwin for inspiration. The Champions Tour's all-time victory leader is 58, yet he led the money list for a time in 2003 and won twice.
"Look at what Hale Irwin has been able to accomplish on the senior tour,'' Sluman said. "And the quality of play. I think you see that as you get into your mid-40s, and late 40s, you realize it really isn't the end of the road. There is a reason to still work hard on your game and stay competitive.''
All of this makes Woods' success even more remarkable. He began his first full season as a pro seven years ago, spawning the supposed age of the fearless young player.
But for every Charles Howell that comes along, there are far more players like Bryce Molders, an All-America at Georgia Tech a few years ago who was unable to make it out of the second stage of PGA Tour qualifying school last fall.
For most, surviving, let alone winning, takes time. And the "old'' guys know what it takes, how good they've had it. And they aren't quite ready to step aside.

Dildos are sex toys designed for vaginal or anal penetration. Dildos don't 'do' anything other than what we make them do (i.e. they don't have motors or moving parts). The pleasure from dildos is derived almost exclusively through penetration. Many people enjoy the feeling of pressure and fullness that dildos offer.

I like physics. I probably have as good a grasp of the field as any film critic, and I frequently read articles about things like the Large Hadron Collider and the revelation of the mass of the Higgs Boson and how that revelation has impacted supersymmetry theory.
You've probably heard of the Large Hadron Collider (possibly as that thing that didn't actually destroy the world) and the Higgs Boson (sometimes called the God particle), but it's less likely that you know what supersymmetry (affectionately called SUSY) is. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, much of the science in Particle Fever is going to fly right over your head.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't see it. Because Particle Fever succeeds not because of its discussion of this particular science, but that of what science means and why it matters.view full story + comments
Han Gong-Ju is incredible. It's easily the best film I've seen at the New York Asian Film Festival thus far and among the best I've seen in a long time.
It's also extremely depressing, to the point where I'm not sure I can really write about it. But I can't in good conscience not give it my sincerest recommendation. If you're in New York, it's playing at MoMA for the next week. Tickets can be bought here.
Whether we end up with a full review or not, go see Han Gong-Ju.

Director/Writer John Carney is establishing a little nitch for himself in the film industry. A modern take on the backstage musical except now the stage is the studio and the music is far less grandiose. With Once, his academy award winning film, he nailed the sort of real world drama musical and he returns to that new genre again with Begin Again except this time he has big name stars and an American budget.
Carney is clearly a talented and emotional musician and returning to this form allows him to flex those muscles once again. Can he have the same impact as he did on his debut feature film or does upping the ante in almost every department mean a bit of soul is lost? In a film about finding the soul of art and yourself it's a bit ironic what the answer to that question is.view full story + comments
I'm going to tear this movie apart. It's coming right below the jump. Just be ready for it. Because of that I want to open with this: Optimus Prime riding Grimlock into battle in Hong Kong is frickin' awesome. There's just no denying how cool Transformers can be and that Michael Bay can pull off some awesome stuff. There are parts of this film that will blow you away.
It's just that the rest of it is so bad it isn't worth it.view full story + comments
Snowpiercer has been among my most anticipated films for the past several years. Every time we did a preview of what's upcoming, Snowpiercer has been on there in some capacity. When it got its Korean release last year, I was convinced a US release was imminent. I mean, it stars Captain America! How could it possibly be delayed?
But, of course, it was. The Weinstein Company took on distribution rights, but they wanted to cut it and Bong Joon-Ho refused to let them do so. So now the release is finally upon us, the full film as it was intended, but only a limited release.
I'm still annoyed at The Weinstein Company for trying to mess with the film in the first place... but I have to admit that I kind of understand why.view full story + comments
The German title of Nothing Bad Can Happen is "Tore Dances," something I knew from the beginning thanks to the multiple attempts I have made at learning German in my life. It's one of the few things I remember, but I'm glad it's something I knew from the outset, because while a name like "Nothing Bad Can Happen" is immediately off-putting, "Tore Dances" is not. No movie called Nothing Bad Is Going to Happen is going to end well. I mean, seriously. Right off the bat, you see that and you call bullshit. "Tore Dances," on the other hand, leaves a bit more to the imagination. It's also a bit less marketable (people are definitely more interested in seeing something bad happen than watching Tore dance), so I can understand why the change was made.
But let's talk about why Tore dances.view full story + comments
Coherence is part of a genre that will be heretofore referred to as "subtle sci-fi." Mention sci-fi to anyone and they'll think of Star Wars or Star Trek first. And they'll think of those films because that's what we've been bred to believe sci-fi is. These are worlds unlike our own, whether they're far in the future or a way in the past. They may feature people who look like us, but their characters don't really live like us. They're surrounded by robots and aliens and guns that shoot lasers. They're the things we imagine our technology will be capable of.
What people won't think of is Coherence, even though it's firmly entrenched in that genre. They won't think about it because the world of Coherence is the same one I am writing in and the same one you are reading in. There's no special technology, nothing that distinguishes their world from ours. Everything feels real not just on a dramatic level but on a visceral level. You believe that these people are in this position, and you wonder if maybe—just maybe—it could happen to you.view full story + comments
Despite being proven horribly wrong when 21 Jump Street film came out and it turned out to be hilarious instead of horrible I was once again a doubter when news hit that 22 Jump Street was coming along. The first one worked and here comes the obligatory sequel that will just recap all the old jokes and ruin it was my line of thinking.
Sometimes it's good to be wrong... twice. I suppose I shouldn't have been so suspect with basically the entire creative team returning for the film, but how was I supposed to know they'd actually make a comedy sequel that was both different from the original and smart in its own way. It's not something movie studios usually do, but both Jump Street films have proven that the series (please let there be more) is all about pointing out or expectations and then destroying them.view full story + comments
With Jupiter Ascending getting pushed back to February Edge of the Tomorrow might be the last of the original summer action movies left standing. Yes, it's an adaptation of a short Japanese novel, but that is still more original than the majority of sequels and and remakes taking up the rest of the summer. As such it had me very interested for it despite the lack of buzz.
It's also an insanely interesting concept. Basically you're getting Groundhog Day, but with mechs, aliens, Tom Cruise and Emily blunt. Throw in the underrated Doug Liman as director and you've got a movie that ten years ago would have been a tent pole, but instead is struggling for relevance. It shouldn't be because other than one tragic flaw it's an absolute blast.view full story + comments
A feel good sports movie from Disney? I don't think anyone was expecting anything to earth shattering from Million Dollar Arm. Life lessons will be learned. Sports will be played. People will change. It's the kind of thing that Disney has become a pro at, and your enjoyment on Million Dollar Arm will rest entirely on whether or not you're tired of sports movie cliches.

When that first roar hits you know they did this thing right. There's a chill that will go down your spine if you're a Godzilla fan. As he moves you'll wonder at how they found that perfect balance between rubber suit and actual monster. This is Godzilla.
Godzilla's previous American outing was a sin against all things good in the world, but this one, this one knows what's up. Well, at least when it comes to giant monsters knocking the sh*t out of each other in the middle of cities. That's what really matters, right?
There's plenty to be said about the new film, and it isn't all positive, but in the crucial aspects -- the ones that have always made Godzilla fun -- it succeeds.view full story + comments
I like film festivals for a lot of reasons, but one of the best is the way films are forced into context with a number of other, entirely unrelated films. The act of watching multiple films in a day alone creates all sorts of weird unintentional connections and relationships, and doing that day after day after day makes it sometimes difficult to distinguish one film from another when it comes time to buckle down and think about what each film did well, didn't do well, and what it all meant. When two films play within 24 hours of each other that highlight the successes and failings of the other, looking at them individually seems silly.
Such was the case with Whitewash and Big Bad Wolves. In execution, the films could hardly be more different, but they are both black comedies that made me seriously consider the role of humor in gravely serious situations. Like any good student of George Carlin, I believe people can joke about anything. But those jokes, while I support their right to exist, may be tasteless or insensitive or flat-out horrifying.
Whitewash understands this. Big Bad Wolves does not.

The Other Woman is a raunchy comedy that wants to be taken emotionally seriously while promoting the fact that woman are awesome and can easily take the lead in any kind of film. It basically wants to be Bridesmaids, but unlike that modern comedy classic it instead comes off as crass and completely insulting to the very female characters it wants to glorify. Falling quickly into tropes, stereotypes and comic cliches it veers dangerously into trouble as its attempt at female empowerment turns into the worst case of justice porn this side of a serial killer getting killed at the end of a horror film.
It's a despicable film that clearly has no idea what it's doing as it contradicts its own themes constantly throughout its entire run, eventually landing in a big puddle of false feminism that would set the movement back years if anyone actually cared about the movie. Oh, and there's a pooping scene. Because when you're not actually funny you always run to poop.view full story + comments
Every once in a while, I see a movie that feels truly unique, and when that happens I tend to obsess over the process instead of the result. For better or worse, some films are just different, and while I definitely appreciate that difference, sometimes I really just have to wonder why.
Soft in the Head is different, and I spent much of the film wondering. I never found an answer.view full story + comments

I've been hyping Sabotage since I first heard about it. I'm a huge Arnold Schwarzenegger fan and a huge David Ayers (End of Watch) fan so the two together sounds like sweet, sweet cop action bliss. Ayers is great and melding action and drama while developing actual characters and Schwarzenegger is great at... well... being in action movies. Things looked pretty good.
It was easy to get excited to because the supporting cast was really solid and the trailers actually advertised the film in the right way. Heading in I was certain I was going to have a good time at this movie. You know what? I did.view full story + comments
To preface this review I'd like to point you towards this article, which explains how I, as a DC film critic, finally got to see Noah ahead of time. Basically, Paramount for some reason thought it would be grand to screen the film for only religious critics, and when they got called on their crap threw the company that does the screenings under the bus. On the plus side they did arrange a screening so I got to see Noah ahead of time for this review (which was embargoed until today despite opening last night).
But that really has nothing to do with Darren Aronofky's biggest movie yet. At $130 million dollars this isn't the small budget fare we're use to seeing from him. Instead it is an epic in the most biblical sense of the word. It's a daunting task to retell a story about faith in a increasingly secular industry, and the way Aronofsky goes about that is very interesting.view full story + comments

The mob, a subject that has been covered almost every way you can think of. Glorified, glamorized, famous and infamous. We forget sometimes that the mob is a real thing, with real people, and real reasons for their perspective involvements. We forget the repercussions of said organization, not only to others in the community, but the people inside the mob as well. Rob the Mob does something special, something unique, and something that many other films are afraid to do: Tell its story, til the very bittersweet end.view full story + comments
I greatly enjoyed Himizu, another 2011 Sion Sono film released last week in NYC theaters, but there was something it lacked that I expected from that sort of film: sex. It had the violence (although it was definitely subdued in comparison to some of his other films), but there was none of the weird, creepy nudity found in some of his other films. I wasn't unhappy about it (it would have added nothing to that film), but I was surprised. When I checked out Guilty of Romance and randomly clicked on a part of the timeline, I found myself staring at a woman on all fours in a colorful room, presumably a love hotel, in the middle of that most intimate of acts.
And there was the Sion Sono I had expected. For better or worse, what Himizu lacked, Guilty of Romance has in spades.view full story + comments
I can see why Sion Sono was drawn to Himizu. The manga, which ran from 2001 to 2002, seems like exactly the sort of thing that would appeal to the man who made Cold Fish and Suicide Club. But that's not really a compliment.
Immediately after finishing the film, I went to read the manga. Usually I'm not particularly interested in checking source material after seeing an adaptation, but the film deals rather explicitly with things that hadn't taken place when the manga was written. And now, 43 chapters later, I can say that the film is indeed very different from the manga.

Getting kids to try new foods—even kale—is easy if you (a) involve them in the preparation process and (b) give them lots of choice.
I work with a program in Lexington, MA called Kids Cooking Green, and last month during this preschool class, the kids made a kale salad, which they happily ate.
The trick to our kale salad success?: The kids got to (a) get messy by massaging olive oil into the kale leaves (this makes the fibrous leaves more tender) and (b) choose from a number of toppings including hard-cooked eggs, goat cheese, and sliced veggies. And yes, the kids scrubbed their hands first, and yes, evoo smells great

access to spectral and lifetime information. Prior to spectroscopic analysis, HPLC fractions are pre-treated with liquid–liquid extraction or solid–liquid extraction at the tip of the fiber-optic probe. Solid–liquid extraction gives the best limits of detection, which vary

Has anybody been to Massa yet?
- p
- PlasticMoonRain Feb 13, 2011 07:10 PM
I know Massa at the Five Corners in Scarsdale is supposed to be open already, but it seems remarkably quiet so far about how it is.
As a matter of fact, the place doesn't seem to be open driving by most of the time. No signs. The whole vibe always seems to be quiet.
Considering the unlucky history of this space, I'd make sure people knew we were open for dinner.
I went soon after it opened.My impression was nice people average food a little overpriced.
I dont think just good can survive in that particular space.I live two blocks away so believe me id love a local go to place.But i doubt i would rush back
The location is cursed I tells ya....CURSED!
Tried last week, went in & non-one, as in not a person, was in there. I read that sign as BAD and left.
I just wonder if this is by design and they've launched softly, or they have not bothered to really promote the opening.
You would think there'd be some kind of sign somewhere that says GRAND OPENING, so people knew to check it out.
I personally don't think most people know if it's really open or not.
I went and was not impressed. In fairness it was a soft open so I tried not to be too harsh. Some problems may have just been execution due to a new kitchen/staff. Others seemed a bit more glaring. I wrote a full review in greater detail here: http://www.westchesterfoodieonline.co...
re: wchesterfoodie
Gotta tell you...Will not be running to dine here any time soon. Soft opening or not, when an establishment is open, it's open. That means everything should be ready and on target. There are little thing that can be overlooked- but not multiple things from start to finish.
i said it before and i'll say it again, it is not cursed~ just a really lousy location~. i have lived less than 2 miles from there for 56 years (entire life) and it is basically an isolated building . The rear lot with it's steepness and access to weaver street is not very enjoyable, this is not LA and most don't want valet. parking across the street is non-existent and even if agreement was reached running to beat weaver street traffic won't cut it. so no matter how close to building it is just too easy to go a fewmiles further ~ granted slim pickings in the area> but i do hope they do well, despite my prediction
re: rich51
...so in other words the location is cursed. And there's lots of parking across the street in the lot behind Metro Deli/Chase Bank.
re: rich51
indeed they do chain it.Though i doubt the hordes will descend on the parking lot in search of Massa
re: ronhall51
well at least they haven't lost your reservation :-(
Massa reviewed in the New York Times today. I've been waiting for some major publication to weigh in. And in this case, it was a big meh.
"The executive chef, Pasquale Coli, and his son, Francesco, who manages out front, describe their menu as classic Italian cuisine influenced by their native Puglia, but honestly, there was little on it that strayed from the standard Italian-American script. A handful of dishes might bring a diner back — lovely braised artichoke hearts; well-made linguine vongole and spaghetti carbonara (good and eggy, with tasty nuggets of pancetta); a pretty presentation of salmon with toasted bread crumbs and a light mustard sauce; and an unforgettable little tartufo at dessert time — but much of what we ate was underseasoned and short on surprise."
re: PlasticMoonRain
But in a shocker, the Scarsdale Inquirer gave Massa a glowing review. Of course, it's only the 108th consecutive "fabulous" review by their reviewer, so take it with a gallon of salt.
re: bdr
The Scarsdale Inquirer recently addressed that very point in their letters column, when somebody wrote in and wondered why their "reviews" were so over the top. The reply was that these were not reviews and not labeled as such, but features.
Then again, Scarsdale Inquirer doesn't have a bad thing to say about just about anything, much less restaurants. But that's another story...
re: PlasticMoonRain
funny as hell! right up there with westchester magazine advertorials and coffee with____(INSERT CHEF NAME HERE___!
re: cubanat
One difference. Westchester Magazine labels that section an advertorial.
re: PlasticMoonRain
Yeah but they are notoriously favorable to advertisers and some of their features do not say "advertisement"...maybe the only magazine more fluffy is the WAG.

Soap Opera Gossip
Amber Tamblyn, who played Emily on "General Hospital" for six years, has landed the role of Charlie's long-lost lesbian daughter on "Two and a Half Men." She is set for five episodes and perhaps even more.
Tamblyn starred in the critically acclaimed prime-time show "Joan of Arcadia" and the movie "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." One "GH" cast-mate remembers her as talented and precocious: "One day, we were doing a scene where I had to give her CPR. Half the day she kept telling me: 'I can't wait until that scene. I am going to give you a really sloppy kiss and put my hands all over you."
She was 12 at the time, and the actor was 24. "I kept my teeth clenched" for the entire scenes."
Years ago, I interview Tamblyn's actor dad, Russ. He had a starring role in the film "West Side Story" and many others. He was a child actor. "I do not think kids should act," he said. "It is the one profession that children can participate in. If a 10-year-old kid tells his parents he wants to be a fireman, they would respond, 'You need to finish school and then see if you still want to be a fireman.'"
Amber was 11 when she joined "GH." Perhaps in Los Angeles 11 is the age of reason.
The oh-so-talented actor Greg Rikaart (Kevin on "Young and Restless") makes a guest appearance on "Bones" on Sept.
Right after the Supreme Court ruling on the constitutionality of the Defense of Marriage Act, Rikaart tweeted a photo of himself and his longtime companion. Rikaart says he was not getting married "anytime soon," but, "I am delighted about the changing of the law."
Until that post, he did not talk about his romantic life.
If you are wondering where Drake Hogestyn (John) has been on "Days of our Lives," he's not under contract. The actor is now recurring and will appear on the show from time to time. Ken Corday, the show's executive producer, is not certain when the actor, who is part of the super soap couple "John and Marlena," will be back on a regular basis.
Aug. 16 starts Genoa City's "goodbye" to their Duchess. Jeanne Cooper, who played Katherine for 40 years, died earlier this year after struggling with pulmonary disease. After everyone tries to deal with their grief, it turns to greed. Everyone wants a piece of her money and her mansion.
Josh Griffith, the show's head writer, told "Entertainment Weekly," Jeanne would love that her death was going to move a story forward.
Several family and friends who have left the show will return for the memorial.

Completing story mode
We like Need for Speed Carbon – it took the whole street racing genre probably as far as it was going to go on last-gen systems. And yes, we did finish the game. It wasn't easy and it took hours and hours, which admittedly turned into a bit of a slog near the end.
The plot ties up nicely, even though we don't really care about it. And after a game full of cool unlocks like pearlescent paint and oversized spoilers, you could be forgiven for expecting something awesome as a big 'congratulations' for getting to the end.
So what do we get? A ridiculously short end movie (30 seconds long - see it below if you don't mind spoilers), five new cars (when we already had loads of good ones) and, most crushingly, an invitation to start the whole game again with a different car class. Our eyes widen in disbelief. Are you kidding? How is that a reward? It's basically saying "Well done – tell you what, seeing as you've been so good, persevering through that drawn-out career mode, we'll let you do it again. Twice." No thanks.
How many hours does it take to get 100% in GTA III? 150, perhaps? Maybe less if you've done it before and you eat sandbox games for breakfast. And sure, you get a whole load of benefits for your endeavors as you go, such as a cool new taxi, weapons outside your safehouse and all the health, pill and wanted level-cooling pick-ups you could ask for.
But you would think there would be something truly special waiting for you at the end of it all. Like a plane that actually flies properly, or maybe for snow to fall, covering the city in a white blanket. You know, something. Anything. But no, you get a stat that says '100%'.
Well done.

only planned for consoles.
"We've heard loud and clear that PC gamers are bitching about there being no version for them," Mettra said to IncGamers. "But are these people just making noise just because there's no version or because it's a game they actually want to play? Would they buy it if we made it?"
Mettra continued that if 50,000 PC players buy the game it's not worth the cost of putting a team of 12 on the project for three months. He continued, "It's hard because there's so much piracy and so few people are paying for PC games that we have to precisely weigh it up against the cost of making it."
Since I Am Alive runs on the Splinter Cell: Conviction engine, it could be ported to PC, but it's pretty clear that Ubisoft's relationship with PC players has become contentious, bordering on combative. It wouldn't be surprising if I Am Alive comes to PC some day, but it'll take longer than the standard one month delay.

Cookie Giveaway to Celebrate 100 Likes on Facebook!
This giveaway has now closed. I'll be drawing names on Sunday. Thank you, everyone who entered!
Well, I have finally gotten to 100 likes on Facebook!
Actually, it's been a couple weeks since this happened, but life and concerts have been going full steam ahead with little reprieve.
So, to celebrate, I have decided to have a cookie giveaway: three people will get a dozen cookies from my kitchen!
Here are your options.
If you want to try one of the cookies I've posted here, you can choose from these:
Brown Sugar and Apple Butter Cookies (except it'll be pear butter, because I have no apple butter at the moment)
Gingerbread People (or cats, or foxes, or hearts, or teapots)
Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie Wannabes
Everything But the Kitchen Sink Cookies
I'm also open to making the following cookies out of Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar:
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Kitchen Sink Chocolate Biscotti (you'll choose 3 add-ins out of whatever I have on hand at the moment! :-))
Mexican Chocolate Snickerdoodles
Cowgirl Cookies (cranberries, cocoanut, and walnuts are in these)
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
A few notes:
1. I cannot do gluten-free cookies because I cannot guarantee that anything in my kitchen is really gluten free. So if you're celiac or otherwise sensitive to gluten this is, unfortunately, not the giveaway for you.
2. Regarding other allergies besides gluten: you will need to let me know if you have sensitivities to, say, soy or almonds or peanuts so I can substitute other things in their place. There will be no eggs, dairy, or honey in any of the cookies I make for this giveaway.
So, how to enter! Just leave a comment on this post telling me something about cookies, which cookie you'd choose if you win, or perhaps a happy cookie memory!
I will close this giveaway in one week, on October 31, and pick names out of a hat. And then I'll contact the three winners within a couple days. If you do not respond within 24 hours with your contact info, I will then choose another winner.
Hollywood Squares, or Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
As some of you know, I've been unable to consume peanut butter (or peanut anything) for roughly… *counts*… one year and seven months, because I was nursing Lou Who and she would get a Terrible Rash from my peanut consumption. Being an inveterate adorer of Snickers, pb&j, and Thai food, this has left a gaping hole in my life. But, you know, I've coped. I've actually coped pretty well, considering that I don't like almond butter very much. And, thankfully, I could still have chocolate! Peanuts really are one of the easier allergens to deal with, and I'm very thankful it was that and not gluten.
So, one of the things I haven't made for a Very Long Time is Hollywood Squares, which is a recipe a friend gave me when we were 12 or 13 and it's basically like having a 13×9 Reese's Peanut Butter cup in the palm of your hungry little hand. I made these many times for my coworkers back about 7 years ago and saw them vanish before my very eyes. I myself am *cough* capable of eating more of them at a time than I care to admit.
I have no doubt you could make these with sunbutter, almond butter, cashew butter, or any sort of nut butter, but I knew it simply wouldn't be the same, so I've waited and waited to post this here.
Note: It's helpful to have all your peanut butter layer ingredients ready in bowls so you can add them in quickly.
Note #2: It is VERY important to add the ingredients in the peanut butter layer in the order they are listed. Most recipes don't care, but trust me, this one does. If you do them out of order, you'll wind up with a lumpy mess. A tasty lumpy mess, mind, but probably not one that would make your co-workers compliment you on your Mad Attractive Food Skilz.
Note #3: If you cut the recipe in half, it's perfect for 12 regular muffin cups (smash the peanut layer into muffin papers and then spread the chocolate on top).
And without further ado, here's the recipe:
Peanut Butter Layer
1/2 c melted vegan margarine
2 c creamy peanut butter
2 1/2 c powdered sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
Mix 1/2 c melted margarine well with the peanut butter, powdered sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla. Spread in the bottom of 13×9 pan.
Chocolate Layer
4 T vegan margarine
12 oz bag of chocolate chips
Melt together the 4 T margarine with the bag of chocolate chippies. Pour and spread chocolate mixture on top of peanut butter mixture. Chill. Cut into squares.
^^Bonus: a really lame video of me eating one of these babies a few minutes ago.
Chicken Rice
One of the things I ate a lot as a child was that very yellow Lipton chicken rice. I remember having a curious love-hate relationship with it. It was good, and it was pretty, and yet I got sick of it so quickly. Maybe it was too salty for me. Boxed and packaged food usually is.
But, I decided it would be fun to try to recreate this in vegan form. So, keep reading for the recipe.
Today's musical selection has nothing to do with chickens, rice, or Lipton. It is, however, nostalgic for me, and that is reason enough.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, stir together:
1 1/2 cups brown rice
1 clove crushed garlic
2 T oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 T chicken seasoning
1/8 – 1/4 tsp turmeric
Turn on heat and cook rice for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, to toast rice.
When the oil is beginning to absorb, add:
3 1/3 cups water
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce to a simmer. Allow to cook about 35 minutes. Turn off burner. Let stand 10 minutes before removing lid and fluffing with fork.
Spanish Rice
The first five rice recipes I have to share are rice basics, in a variety of flavours. Some of them will get re-used later on in my ricefest in other dishes, but all can be stand-alone side dishes as well. You will notice that all of them are based on the Brasilian rice method, which is why I shared that first.
In keeping with today's Spanish theme, here's a fine exhibition of tremolo on harp:
In a heavy-bottomed pan, stir together:
1 1/2 cups brown rice (I use plain long grain brown, but jasmine and basmati work fine too)
1 large clove crushed garlic
2 T oil
3/4 tsp salt
1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
1 tsp cumin seed
1 T taco seasoning
2 small tomatoes, chopped (or 1/2 cup canned tomatoes, drained)
1 tsp onion powder
Turn on heat and cook all of the above for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, to toast rice.
When the oil is beginning to absorb, add:
3 3/4 cups chicken broth (I stirred 4tsp chicken seasoning with 3 3/4 cups water)
Bring to boil, cover tightly, and reduce to a simmer for 45 minutes. Then let sit covered 10 minutes (do not remove from heat). Fluff with a fork and serve.
Garden Pasta
We have green beans coming on, and I wanted to think of something to do with them besides, ya know, just steaming them. (Not, of course, that there's anything wrong with just steaming them.)
So here is what I did.
I cooked 1 pound of shell pasta and rinsed it and set it aside.
In my food processor, I ground up:
1 heaping cup green onions
1/4 lb seitan/gluten
1 handful of fresh basil leaves (16 leaves, if you want an exact count)
Then I steamed 3/4 pound of fresh green beans whilst I chopped 2 cups fresh tomatoes.
Then I drained the beans and dumped all of the above components into a big pan, stirred in a little salt and oil and warmed it through.
It was simply delightful and delicious, although neither Lou Who nor GooGoo would touch the green beans.
Basic Brasilian Rice
I was going to take part in Vegan MoFo again this year. I signed up. My theme was going to be Music and Rice, and it was going to be super awesome.
But then I had a reality check. I'm preparing a concert with some friends that we're intending to have ready by mid-September. I simply don't have time to commit to MoFo with having to get that much music practise in!
So, I had to un-sign-up. Waaaaaaa. HOWEVER, I'm still planning to do my theme, just not all in one month. And I'm going to start now.
Among the various treasures preserved from my childhood is a cassette tape on which I've written in ballpoint pen: PIANO AND RICE.
Music and I go way back. This tape is a gem, created by my friend Edda and I, on which are some pieces she played from her piano lesson book and a fair number of brilliant original compositions such as "Mother and Me", "Thunder and Lightning", and "The Swan", all of which were made up on the fly whilst our mothers, oblivious to the genius they had managed to gift the world, quietly had a garage sale out front.
Consider the lyrics to "The Swan:"
Gracefully she swims along
Down the Yahtzee river.
Along came a toad and ate her up,
Swimming down the river.
Along came a toad and ate her up,
Swimming down the river.
OH NO! Oh. No.
So, in honour of this ridiculous piece of nostalgia from my childhood, I have a dual, and perhaps wacky, theme this year involving two of my favourite things: music and rice. I will not limit this music to piano, because while I like piano, it's not my favourite thing in the world any more.
So, to kick things off, here is some Bach, brilliantly executed on two harps, because Bach. And harps.
And why, you may ask, is the tape titled "Piano and Rice"? Well, the end of the tape is a recording I had running one evening when I was hungry for rice, and so it is a real-time chronicle of the making of a pot of rice for yours truly. I was probably 10 or 11. My dad sings a hit song called "Achy Breaky Rice" and one of the tracks is called "Atom Bombs and a Butt Imprint".
Yes. I had an interesting childhood.
SO ANYWAY. RICE IS KIND OF AWESOME. I'm kicking things off with my go-to rice recipe. It is super simple – just a few extra steps from regular rice cooking – but tastes like a million bucks, and I can't really go back to plain old rice anymore! GooGoo and Lou Who both love it, even though GooGoo claims, "I don't like gar-wick."
This recipe is adapted from Matthew Locricchio's The 2nd International Cookbook for Kids (this is *not* a vegan cookbook, but worth it for this recipe alone in my opinion!). My changes: reduce the oil, change the water/rice proportions, and use brown rice. And I've tripled it – the original calls for 1 cup of rice, but we go through so much rice in our house that it would be just dumb to not cook enough to last a few days all at once.
In a heavy-bottomed pan, stir together:
3 cups brown rice (I use plain long grain brown, but jasmine and basmati work fine too)
3 T crushed garlic (3 large cloves)
1/4 c oil
2 1/4 tsp salt
Turn on heat and cook rice for about 5 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, to toast rice.
When the oil is beginning to absorb, add:
6 2/3 cups water
Stir together and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover pot, and allow to simmer 30-45 minutes. Don't lift the lid until it looks like the water is almost absorbed.
When the water is absorbed (you will know because there will be steam holes in the rice that are no longer bubbling), turn off the heat and leave covered for 10 minutes. Then fluff with a fork and serve.
Corn Bread
When I first met Mr Pine Nut, he was more or less constantly engaged in a determined effort to make Really Good Cornbread. Except he didn't want to use a recipe.
I tried to convince him that Baking is a Science, and Requires Accurate Measurements, but he wouldn't believe me.
So we had quite a few pans of rather heavy cornbread together, unless I was cooking, in which case I used the recipe on the cornmeal bag, like my mother had always done. It came out okay, though it never seemed to be as nice as when my mom made it.
Eventually I got the recipe my mother-in-law had used when working in a retirement centre kitchen, and I've used it ever since with good success and very few adaptations (the original called for eggs, so that was my main change). It always comes out perfectly, except when I try to use flax eggs in it. Flax eggs do NOT work in this recipe. I don't know why. I've tried a number of times and with varying amounts of water. So I stick with the Ener-G egg replacer for this one.
The amount in black give you for either a pie pan or 9×9″ square pan. The amount in red gives you a 13×9″ pan batch.
Corn Bread
1 c (2 c) corn meal (sometimes I use a blend of corn flour and corn meal)
1/2 c (1 c) wheat flour
1/2 c (1 c) white flour
2 T (1/4 c) sugar
1/2 T (1 T) baking powder
1/2 tsp (1 tsp) salt
1/2 T (1 T) Ener-G egg replacer
2 T (1/4 c) water
1/3 c (2/3 c) oil (can do half applesauce)
1 c (2 c) non-dairy milk (any will work, and water will do in a pinch)
1/2 c (1 c) frozen corn (optional)
Now here are the SuperComplicated(tm) instructions!
In bowl #1, combine all dry ingredients.
Transfer contents of bowl #1 to bowl #2 and stir just until combined.
Pour into a sprayed pan and bake at 350. The 8×8″ will take roughly 20-25 minutes, and the 13×9 at least 30 minutes.
The toothpick test works this way for this recipe: at the end of your baking time, if it comes out clean, let it go another couple of minutes.
You can also do this in a cast-iron skillet with excellent results. I've been doing it that way a lot lately.
Cookbook Review: Everyday Vegan Eats
I haven't done any cookbook reviews lately, partly because I haven't tried enough from any one cookbook to do it justice! But, Cadry's Kitchen is having a giveaway of Everyday Vegan Eats, by Zsu Dever, and since I tested for this cookbook, I have tried a goodly number of the recipes in it (mostly different ones from the ones Cadry spotlighted! So, here goes. (Sorry that all the pics are lousy iPod pics. For some reason I either didn't take any with my good camera, or they are hiding really well!)
Savoury Broth Mix: I have a mock chicken seasoning I make regularly that's good enough, but I really liked this one for something with a little more depth and punch to it. It's a good one to have made up and ready to go.
Salsa Fresca: I'm a huge fan of fresh salsa and I really liked this. I particularly liked that it calls for no vinegar, which doesn't sit well with me! It uses lime juice instead and it's very simple to throw together.
Timeless Tomato Sauce: Delicious! It has a secret ingredient that I would never have thought to stick in tomato sauce, but it was a great addition.
Tender Soy Curls: I made these once during testing to use in one of the tester recipes but I've also made it since then as a substitute for ground turkey in chili. Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of soy curls, but they tasted fine.
Bacon Tofu: This is the simplest, tastiest tofu bacon recipe EVER. It calls for 3 ingredients besides the tofu and it was fantastic. This has become my standard bacon. (For the record, it doesn't work so well with tempeh. I tried.)
Comforting Noodle Soup: The flavour of this was awesome and it was a big hit with our Friday night group (despite the fact that I left the noodles in waaaaayyy too long and they had soaked up most of the broth. Oops.) In fact, it sounds really yummy to me right now being sick. Maybe I'll make some for lunch today!
Chipotle Chili: Very tasty! I made this to try on its own as well as incorporated into the Chili Mac recipe. I liked the Chili Mac best but both were good.
Mama's Hungarian Bean Soup: I loved this one!
German Potato Salad: I didn't officially test this one but I did make it on my own anyway. It was fabulous hot or cold.
Seven-Layer Tex-Mex Salad: This was delicious and colourful. Our Friday night group liked it!
Meatless Pies in Buttermilk Herb Biscuits: This was the recipe I made the Tender Soy Curls for. I really liked these. They were a little time-consuming but not in a difficult way, just required some planning ahead.
Hungarian March of the Grenadiers: This is a potato dish that was so delicious there are no words. It uses the Hungarian Paprika Potatoes (separate recipe) and mashes them and serves them with pasta. Potatoes + Pasta = Always a win.
Whole Grain Rice Pilaf: I loved this so much. It is definitely one of the best pilafs I've tried. So many just fall short.
Mediterranean Quinoa with Fresh Herbs: I really liked this. It's supposed to be eaten warm, but I made it as a cold salad and it was very tasty that way too!
Refried Beans with Tomatoes: These were so simple and so yummy.
Classic-Style Benedict: I've never had Eggs Benedict, but this was a mighty tasty (if also mighty rich) dish. Not something I would make on a regular basis, but definitely a yummy treat.
Fudge Brownies: These called for mashed bananas. Not being a fan of bananas, I made them anyway because it was such a small amount of banana! Both I and my friend's bananaphobe daughter could still taste the banana. I still ate them though she didn't want anything more to do with them. The banana flavour does intensify the next day, at which point I didn't want any more to do with them either. But, the texture was really nice and everyone else aside from us two really liked them!
Caramel Sauce: Another recipe I've made multiple times since testing! I'm still struggling to get it right, because there are so many variables with candy making. Too hot? Too long? Sometimes it comes out like toffee and one time I actually got it slightly saucy. Any way it comes out, it still tastes good! I've used it in cookies, vegan ice cream, and other things.
Chocolate Chip Cookies: These taste like cookies from childhood. My favourite chocolate chip recipe is from Vegan Cookies Invade Your Cookie Jar, but if you're going for a more traditional texture and flavour, you would definitely want these.
Carrot Cake: I didn't officially test this one either but I have made it. It was very good!
Blueberry Scones: DELISH.
Soft Pretzels: I made the sweet cinnamon variation and they were all eaten up very, very quickly!

Six Years!
Mr Pine Nut was sick on our actual anniversary, so we had to postpone our celebrations. We were able to leave the girls with his mom on the 20th of April and head up to Portland for a stop at Native Foods and a jaunt through the Rose Garden. We almost never go out to eat. It's just not a thing we've ever done! So it's definitely a treat when we do actually go. There's a new Native Foods opening in Clackamas, my old stomping grounds, but it wasn't opened yet, so we went to the Tigard location.
As always, the dilemma of what to choose. The first time I went, I got the Chicken Run Ranch sandwich, and it was amazing. A few months ago when I went up there with some friends to see the Pittock Mansion I got the Oklahoma Bacon Burger and it was amazing. I didn't know that breaded and fried dill pickles would be outstandingly good. But they are. (I don't like pickles.) And I got the oatmeal creme pie for dessert. Yum.
This time, I decided to go for the Bangkok Curry Bowl.
It was really, really tasty. The veggies were cooked on the crisp side, which made them a little harder to eat, but I liked it. It took the dirty sock edge off the flavour of the broccoli without really cooking it to mush. The tofu steak was really good and the curry sauce was just the right amount of spice. You can't see it in the picture, but the tofu and veggies are on brown rice.
I also got a side of Chicken Wings that were delicious. I even actually used the dipping sauces with them. I have to admit, I'm not much of a sauce person. On the whole I like my meatlike substances and salads and French toast naked. And it was actually kind of good. (Though I did eat the majority of the wings sans sauce.)
Mr Pine Nut got the Baja Blackened Taco.
He said it was very good. I snitched a bit of the tempeh because I was curious and it was the best tempeh I've ever had. He also got a side of sweet potato fries, which is about the only way he could keep me out of them, since I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes. At all. I tried a couple and they just made me want to gag.
So he enjoyed his sweet potato fries in blissful peace while I took pictures of the local scenery.
Then it was off to the Rose Garden, where we wandered around and sat on benches and looked at all the things that weren't blooming and a few things that were.
And then we found this spot where we took a picture of me in October of 2007 and took another picture of me now.
So, that's that. What should I try next time I hit Native Foods?

The matchup: George Washington (1-1) takes to the road for a second straight road game. This one involves a rise in competition and the first ever meeting with Notre Dame (3-1).
Inconsistent play combined with a missing sense of urgency during season-opening wins over Duquesne and Liberty proved obvious without Georgetown's head coach and players later concurring.
Coming off a loss at Bucknell, George Mason looks to rebound this weekend island-style, though there doesn't figure to be tons of toes in the sand time during the Patriots' jaunt to St.
One challenge presenting the Hoyas this season involved replacing their top three scorers from the previous campaign.

I liked that it was convenient.
It is very outdated for the price.
Staff was excellent
Bar staff were a little less friendly however were busy with other customers.
Mallory at the front desk was superb. After a canceled flight and zero openings at the first 9 hotels I called, Mallory took care of me wonderfully. Even after the toilet in my room overflowed.
The toilet in my room overflowed. The room overlooked a dance club/bar and the music was audible on the 8th floor.
I like the location overlooking at the big pond/lake. & the easy access to main Highways.
There was only one set of towels in the bathroom .. But I reserved the room the night before. For 3 people.. Anyway we ask fit more towels & received them within 1 hour. Everyone was very friendly .
several dead bugs on floor and a couple of large spiders that i killed
the van service at night was not good
Location, shuttle service, onsite dining
Somewhat run down and dated; especially hallways and lobby.
poor room-food poor-service average-hotel needs help-poor staff.
Kansas City sadly does not welcome tourists. The airport has NO ONE available to provide any information. Taxis must be called but won't take you to the airport hotels even though they are not that close to the airport. I will never return to Kansas City. Obviously this is not the fault of the Hotel.
A nice clean place with a pleasant staff
I arived rather late and there was no hot water for a shower I took a quick rinse called it good enough strange a hotel with no hot water
Dessert in the bar was delicious, and at $5 per serving, affordable for a family.
A/c wasn't working, thermostat set at 68* but it was 84* in the room. Breakfast buffet at $18 per person plus tax plus tip is ridiculous.
pool and gym
air conditioner didnt work well-it cycled off too often and got too hot-our room was below the ground-our view was dirt and rocks.awful!

Solid State Drives are becoming the more cost effective upgrade to the traditional home computer. Adding a solid state drive will speed up Windows boot up time, will allow your applications to load faster and make data transfers much easier. Today we are taking a look at Kingston's latest solid state drive, the SSDNow V300. This drive boasts sequential read and write speeds of 450MB/s, which is about 7-10 times faster than your traditional hard drive. The V300 is also Kingston's first drive to use Toshiba's 19nm NAND flash memory. Kingston is aiming the V300 at consumers who want to get the most for their money. Read on as we take a look…

It has been a really long time since we have reviewed a product from Mushkin. Mushkin has mainly been known for memory products, but like most memory companies have moved into the storage realm with solid state drives. Today we are taking a look at their top tier SATA 6GB/s Chronos Deluxe Drive. The big difference between this drive and the normal Chronos is that it uses premium Toshiba toggle mode NAND memory and the Chronos uses asynchronous NAND memory. This is the new 7mm drive as well, so you will be able to use it as an upgrade for thin devices like your Ultrabook. Read on as we take a look at the Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 240GB Solid State Drive!
