About Leila Kawaihalau
The home is so very special to our family. We enjoy spending time on the beach in front of the house as well as grilling fresh fish on the BBQ and making delicious meals together in the well equipped kitchen. We spend good times here at our home and we have incredible memories. We long and dream of the next time we can wake up to the sound of the ocean waves in the morning.
Why Leila Kawaihalau chose Wainiha
The land was purchased years ago. We have family on the island. The home was built by my brother who is a contractor on the island. Not only is the home spectacular but a whole lot of love was poured into this home during the construction. The home is taken care of by family on the island so it continues to be cared for with TLC.... and you can see it and feel it when you walk in the front door! Leila, our niece is the Property Manager and she will go out of her way to help make your stay at our home Perfect.
Guestbook comments from the manager
Bar none this is the most beautiful and most beautifully maintained home we have ever rented and we have rented many! You will see from the web site pictures how stunning the interior and the surrounding views are. What you are missing, is the sound of the surf and sea birds, the fragrance of the local flowers and salt air and the total peace and beauty of it all! The four bedrooms with their en-suite bath are each private getaways with unique views. The kitchen is a chef's dream with every utensil, serving piece, dish and bar ware that you could want. Inside and out are perfect for entertaining in style.
On top of all that, Leila is an excellent property manager. With her enthusiasm and assistance you will lack for nothing in this island paradise. This is not simply a rental but a much loved, beautifully decorated private home you will be privileged to stay in.

In a slideshow of his top eight pizzas of the year, Adam Kuban avoids controversy by dropping the word best from the title and refusing to rank his picks (boring!). You see, these are simply domestic pies that continue to haunt my dreams, and they are merely listed by chronological order of consumption, he explains.
He leaves off Di Fara, but other legendary pizzerias do make the cut: Pizzeria Bianco in Phoenix for their Rosa (combining red onion, Parmigianno Reggiano, rosemary, and local pistachios), and Sallys Apizza in New Haven for the plain tomato-and-Parmesan pie. In New York, Kuban fell for Motorinos Brussels sproutsand-pancetta pie and Pizzeria Veloces sausage squares. In Cali, try the sausage-and-onion pie at Emilia's Pizzeria in Berkeley, California. For pizzerias aspiring to be included next year, Kuban shows a weakness for meat-topped varieties, especially those with sausage.

Clay Aiken Makes a Plea for Pakistanby Hilton Hater at . Comments
As a UNICEF Ambassador and all-around good guy, Clay Aiken has released a new video.
In it, the former American Idol runner-up asks viewers to donate to emergency relief efforts for children in Pakistan, following that country's recent, torrid, fatal flooding.
"Right now, more than four million children are caught in the aftermath of the worst flood in Pakistan's history," he says below. "They need clean water, medicine and shelter to survive."
Give what you can, folks. It's a worthwhile cause.
Thank you UNICEF Ambassador, Clay Aiken - an advocate for all children. A Special Education Teacher - special man.
Clay Aiken is a great talent who gets bad press no matter what he does. I am glad that he and a few other celebrities donate their time and effort to help children. Most other celebrity types do it only for publicity once in a while.
Thank you for posting the UNICEF video. The devastation to the
children is awful. Thank you UNICEF and Clay - and anyone else
who care for the less fortunate.
The remarks on the View, Clay was reading from a script he was given. It was a set up to let Whoopi be funny. But some kids are a-holes.
And as for hating children--- be serious it was a joke. We all know he loves kids.
But no matter where there are remarks about Clay, the HATERS are out in force,
You go Clay, with all your good works.
Laurie, joking or not, it is still very inappropriate for Aiken, who supposedly is an advocate for children, to make such horrible remarks about them. He's known for putting his huge foot in his mouth, but at 30+ years of age, he should be able to control himself by now.
Anyone who watched Clay Aiken's interview knew that he was joking, as he was in his M&G with a group of fans. The usual haters who come out of the woodwork can make their absurd disparaging comments, but the focus needs to remain on the people of Pakistan who desperately need our help. Thank you for posting this video here.
Before you start calling this guy Saint Clay, he is the same jerk who recently called children a**holes on "The View" and in a recent meet & greet, said that since he's had his own child, he hates children. Aiken is a disgrace. UNICEF needs to drop him like a hot potato.
Thank you, Hollywood Gossip, for posting this video. And thank you, UNICEF, Clay Aiken, and all the UNICEF ambassadors for their tireless efforts on behalf of the world's children. I've made my donation for this, as well as an on-going monthly donation to UNICEF. If we all chipped in, such a difference could be made.
Thank you Clay Aiken for "using your voice" and bringing the plight of the children of Pakistan to our attention.
Those children sure need help, please open up your heart and your wallet!
So much tragedy in the Middle East, both nature and man-made. This is one place I can help.

We are trying to figure out what the best brand of commercial dog food is for a Cane Corso. As of now he's only 7 months old and is only weighing 60lbs so obviously he will get much larger. But we want to start off right in the food dept. So any idea what the best food would be, we can't feed him a 100% fresh food diet although we know that's THE best but we will be giving him some fresh food everyday. But the majority of his nutrition will have to come from a commercial dog food.

Oberst has the tendency to be heavy-handed with metaphor, often reading like a hipper, more literate version of a 16-year-old's poetry journal. His newest effort, recorded in a rural Mexican locale dubbed Valle Místico, doesn't shy away from that kind of grating poetic license. Here, though, his words are absorbed by the music, so at least they become a simple piece of the larger whole. Instrumentally, Conor Oberst shares a stripped-down, cosmic American music feel with Bright Eyes' I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning. "Cape Canaveral" opens the album with a tribal beat softly thumped out against the side of an acoustic guitar, with Oberst's vocal reverie and simply strummed melody providing counterpoint. "Sausalito" feels like the rockier end of the early No Depression genre spectrum, with Oberst's vocals mirroring Jeff Tweedy on the Anodyne-esque "Danny Callahan." These stabs at comfortably shambling country-rock and freak-folk are welcome refinements to Oberst's signature sound.

Editing. Delete the beginning and ending intro of each day it was broadcast, it is just fluff that gets in the way and there's no way to scrub forward well in the App.
Why are the voice actors saying things the narrator should be saying and all without a seconds pause?

What is Titanfall?
Titanfall is a first-person shooter developed by Respawn Entertainment for the Xbox One and PC. Recently, the game released amid much hype and fanfare. Critics praised the game for its incredible graphics, smooth gameplay, and refreshing take on the genre. Players have already logged thousands of cumulative hours in various multiplayer modes. Without a doubt, both versions of the title have proven massive hits on their respective platforms. It provides a breath of fresh air in a relatively stale genre. Unlike other games, Titanfall focuses upon multiplayer gameplay more than anything else. No traditional campaign exists with the game as a separate function. A campaign is interwoven in multiplayer through the use of narrations and in-game radio communications. In the past, few titles have taken such a drastic step with any success. However, this particular game keeps things interesting with its minimalistic campaign mode. The overall setting of the game features the Militia against the IMC on Frontier. During the campaign, the outcome of matches directly affects the story's development. Then again, the story doesn't matter too much. Most players will find themselves in multiplayer battled as both pilots and Titans. The pilots feature a double-jump and parkour abilities. They're agile enough to run and gun throughout large maps. When enough time has elapsed, players gain the ability to call in Titans. The Titans offer slower gameplay with added firepower, unlike the pilots. A Titan will easily manhandle pilots, but Titan versus Titan battles are always strategic in nature. In each match, players need to adapt to their opponents' actions. No single match is exactly like any of the others. Titanfall offers various perks to differentiate players and play styles. For instance, pilots utilize a wide variety of primary and secondary weapons. They carry an anti-Titan weapon at all times to combat the mechs. Pilots can even take advantage of various perks and abilities. Likewise, the Titans are nearly as customizable, so players aren't running around with the same exact configurations. Different configurations of perks and weapons keeps gameplay interesting. Each item is unlocked by gaining experience in matches and leveling up, so regular action is necessary to level up. Various game modes are available in Titanfall at release. This includes the Attrition, a team deathmatch variant with AI bots included for points. Also, Hardpoint Domination sees both teams vying for control of three points on a map. Last Titan Standing involves six mechs per team trying to destroy the other team's Titans. Capture the Flag, a commonplace first-person shooter gametype, is available too. Fortunately, these game modes and others are available on 15 unique multiplayer maps. In the near future, Respawn Entertainment will release plenty of DLC for Titanfall. Such content should include new maps, weapons, and burn cards. New Titan variants might even become available soon too. With that in mind, PC gamers get the best graphics and gameplay out of Titanfall. You can enjoy these frenetic thrills with your Titanfall PC download free immediately. After downloading the game, you'll be thrust into the action immediately without any distractions. Get your Titanfall PC download free today!
Simply the best titanfall pc download free

By JEFF MEZYDLO
(AP) -- While the Chicago Cubs are in the midst of a fourth consecutive dismal season, Anthony Rizzo continues to provide something positive.
With five home runs in four games, the All-Star first baseman looks to stay hot and help the Cubs secure their first winning home series in more than a month Wednesday night against the San Diego Padres.
Rizzo set a career high and took over the NL home run lead with his 24th and 25th of the season during Chicago's 6-0 victory Tuesday. The reigning NL player of the week is batting .375 (15 for 40) with seven homers and eight RBIs in his last 10 games.
"I'm not stronger than I was last year, I don't think," said Rizzo, who hit 23 home runs in 160 games in 2013.
The former Padre is 7 for 16 and also has three doubles in his last four games against San Diego (43-56) at Wrigley Field.
Rizzo has been one of the few bright spots for the Cubs (41-57), who are 3-11 since trading key starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland on July 4.
Chicago last won a home series by taking two of three against Miami from June 6-8.
Rizzo is 2 for 13 with a double versus San Diego's Ian Kennedy (7-9, 3.62 ERA), who is 3-0 with a 3.80 ERA in his last four starts against the Cubs.
Kennedy was 1-1 with a 6.92 ERA at Wrigley before giving up four runs and three hits in seven innings of a 12-4 victory there last season.
The right-hander has allowed a run, seven hits and struck out 17 over 15 innings to go 1-0 in his last two road starts. They were part of a three-start stretch in which Kennedy went 2-0 while yielding two runs in 21 innings prior to Friday, when he gave up four in five innings while not factoring in the decision of a 5-4 loss to the New York Mets.
Against rookie Kyle Hendricks and two relievers, San Diego managed five hits while being shut out for a league-high 15th time Tuesday.
They'll face another rookie in left-hander Tsuyoshi Wada, who allowed an unearned run and five hits in five innings of a 6-5 loss at Cincinnati on July 8 in his major league debut. Wada left with a 5-1 lead, but the Cubs bullpen couldn't hold the advantage.
"I was definitely excited to pitch in this environment and enjoyed it," Wada told MLB's official website.
Rookie infielder Yangervis Solarte could make his San Diego debut after he was acquired in Tuesday's deal that sent veteran third baseman Chase Headley to the New York Yankees. Solarte batted .299 with six homers and 28 RBIs in his first 57 games this season, but was 4 for 51 with three RBIs in his last 18.
Despite the extended slump, manager Bud Black is excited to have Solarte in the mix.
"This guy knows how to play," Black said. "We'll utilize him around the diamond. I like the fact that he's versatile."
Solarte went 4 for 12 with five walks against the Cubs earlier this season.
While Solarte could play, outfielder Cameron Maybin certainly won't after testing positive for an amphetamine and being suspended 25 games by Major League Baseball. He's batting .247 with one home run and nine RBIs in 62 games this season.
Maybin, who said he won't challenge the ban, released a statement through the MLB Players Association.
"I have been undergoing treatment for several years for a medical condition, attention deficit disorder, for which I previously had a Therapeutic Use Exemption," he said. "Unfortunately, in my attempts to switch back to a medicine that had been previously OK'd, I neglected to follow all the rules and as a result I tested positive.
"I want to assure everyone that this was a genuine effort to treat my condition and I was not trying in any way to gain an advantage in my baseball career."

Ben Barry at CAR magazine was apparently on Santa's good-boys list as he's currently driving a F10 M5 long term tester. And although he's only had a few hundred miles behind the seat of this new M5, that's more than nearly anyone else who's not a BMW employee. So what's Ben got to say about the M5 so far?

The first drive acclaims for the 2012 M5 continue as Motor Trend posts their first take on the F10 M5. Calling it improved with age, like a bottle of fine wine, Motor Trend believes that the F10 M5 is better than the E60 M5 in every way. How's that? See some excerpts inside.
EVO Magazine's Chris Harris' video review of the BMW F10 M5 has now been posted, following his initial print review.
After his initial drive, Harris called the 2012 BMW M5 "mostly awe-inspiring" and said that there is no other powertrain like this in a series production car. He called the F10 M5′s performance outrageous and gave it a full 5 star rating.
In this video, Harris posts and addresses the following main questions:

- Can you not … CONTINUED
Autocar's Steve Sutcliffe reviews the 2012 BMW F10 M5 on video, giving us some excellent visual and audio of the F10 M5 experience. He's overall impressed and sums up by calling the new M5 still a proper lunatic's car. We like that!

FORT MYERS, Fla.- A Fort Myers grandmother made a plea to city council to install permanent lightning detectors at city parks, and council unanimously approved her request.
After a scary situation with Erleene Sanders grandson last month, she was on a mission to make a change in the city of Fort Myers and and that mission was a little easier than she thought it would be. Sanders was prepared to come back to council as long as it took to get better lightning detectors at city fields.
Last month, she says her grandson was playing baseball at the Stars Complex when a storm rolled in. She says no one monitored the weather or told the kids to get off the field. It came to the coaches and maintenance workers handling the situation. She says, "it was insane, absolutely insane. The children were frightened and we thought this just can't be happening to us in Florida, in the lightning capital of the world."
The city does have five handheld lightning detectors but Sanders says those aren't good enough. Fort Myers Little League also has three handheld detectors used at the city fields.
City officials said they would evaluate the system to see whether it would be effective to purchase the WeatherBug system that the county and school district recently purchased.
Those permanent lightning detectors cost about $7,000. The handheld devices run about $200.
But Mayor Randy Henderson called the decision a 'no brainer.' He said, "let's get on board with what the county is doing and what the school board is doing and adopt the measures they deem appropriate in their venue, I see no reason why the city of Fort Myers should be any less protected."
The city will now start looking for the money in the budget to purchase the new permanent systems.

New cook in the House-- need tips/books
- a
- achilles007 Sep 18, 2009 02:25 PM
Hi all-- as a new cook in the house who doesnt just want to follow recipes but make his own creations. I just dont know where to start!
I mean, all the different types of vinegars, wines, oils, spices, herbs, different condiments one can make, how to cook different meats a certain way, slice them, flavor them, then how to use the left-over bones, the skin, and render the fat, and how to use the fat for future dishes, etc. *sigh*-- lol. All of this is just SO overwhelming to someone new to the cook-world.
Are there any books one can recommend for getting one started in getting acquainted and having a basic knowledge for certain ingredients, what their uses are for and how exactly to use them in the right way to elevate the flavor of a dish? Because I am thoroughly confounded with all of this stuff?
Thanks alot guys!
re: Botch
I second La Varenne Pratique. It's in English, BTW.
Also from the same author, :Cook It Right". Besides instructions, it has pictures of food that is undercooked, cooked correctly, and overcooked. It also has ways to save stuff that has been messed up. It is available cheap on Amazon.
I'm sure others would have a better idea of textbook-y sorts of things - so I'll leave that to them.
I'm a big believer in getting your hands dirty, so to speak, in the kitchen - it doesn't sound like you have a lot of experience, so in addition to a textbook, I'd recommend some good basic cookbooks like the Joy of Cooking (already recommended), and How to Cook Everything - these two are comprehensive and are good intros on how to cook lots and lots of different foods different ways. HTCE is more "current" - it's the one I'd choose for a younger person starting out. I think the way it's laid out invites you to riff off of a particular recipe - so once you start to get a feel for ingredients and for what appeals to you, you could try them different ways . . . .
Have a good time - I applaud your enthusiasm!
re: gansu girl
I second the How To Cook Everything rec. Something like the Gourmet or Cook's Illustrated Best Recipe cookbooks might be helpful too, since they write about all the variations they've tried for each recipe and what worked and what didn't. Most important, of course, is practice, practice, practice - the more you do it the better off you'll be, regardless of what book(s) you choose.
I'd recommend getting a subscription to Cooks Illustrated magazine and/or buying their cookbook "The New Best Recipe". CI is really good at explaining what works and why. It's good for building intuition about cooking techniques, ingredients, etc. The recipes are mostly easy and pretty foolproof.
The downside of CI is that, because they are so precise about things (wrap in two layers of foil, add 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water, place in oven preheated for 18 minutes at 340, bake for 23 minutes...I'm exaggerating but not that much), you might develop a tendency to adhere too closely to the recipes rather than trusting your own (growing) intuition in the kitchen. I definitely have this problem -- relying too much on recipes -- it's not CI's fault but I can see it as a potential downside if you learn to cook using their magazine/books.
I would also suggest not getting too hung up on all the different vinegars, spices, etc. Buy a couple of the basics, figure out what you like, buy additional things as recipes call for it. Don't overwhelm yourself all at once.
re: lvsnyder
I strongly concur with the Cook's Illustrated recommendation. It, along with the sister publication, Cook's Country, are the printed form of the America's Test Kitchen show on PBS. They have a couple strong advantages over Food Network, Bon Apetit, Food & Wine, and such:
1. They accept no advertising, so you can count on objectivity... especially when it comes to their frequent product comparisons and taste tests. (Also cuts down on the annoying page-after-page of ads in the magazine). They're not trying to sell you anything, which is refreshing.
2. They will make the same recipe repeatedly, tweaking it this way and that, until it is just right. Obsessive might be an accurate term. When they publish the final version, you can be confident. They provide the background and process on how they arrived at the final result, so you can understand (and learn) from their efforts. They often have "sidebars" explaining, in detail, the culinary science behind their breakthroughs.
I also subscribe to their Web site... something like $15 annually. While I loathe to pay for a culinary Web site subcription when others are free, I find I can't do without it. To me, their word is kitchen Gospel.
I also share my back issues with coworkers in the office. They have become fans, as well. Fantastic educational and learning resouce!
Their book, Baking Illustrated is AWESOME!!! Worth several times what I paid for it! I used to "bake" out of a box... now I can confidently state I am a scratch baker. They will often have a sale (like 50% off) on their extensive collection of cookbooks... and you can get previous years' issues bound in one hardcover volume.
As you can't see... I can't say enough good stuff! :)
I'll tell you what I have told my nieces and nephews: learn technique, not recipes.
You need to know how to steam, boil, poach, roast, bake, broil, saute, pan fry, deep fry, stir fry, brown and braise. Probably some others, too.
Of course you are going to use recipes as you learn technique, but once you have mastered a technique, you can use any recipe that employs it. The recipes will act as a primer to what pairs with what. If I'm going to make coq au vin, for example, I might look at three or four recipes from good sources and analyze what they have in common and where they differ. If I'm flummoxed by the disparity between them I might come here and post a question.
Study your mistakes. When a dish didn't work, figure out why. Maybe you turned the meat before it browned and it tore up or didn't caramelize, so next time you focus on proper browning. It doesn't have to be the same recipe or ingredient to improve your browning skills the next time. You just have to "note to self: practice browning deliberately."
The best lessons I have learned are things that a lot of people can't stand:
1) Season to taste
2) Cook until done
Season to taste: the recipe may have been made with large grain kosher salt when all you have is a can of fine grained salt. If you use the specified quantity, it may come out way too salty. Maybe the recipe called for 1 tbsp of dried oregano, but your dried oregano is past it's prime or not premium quality - you're going to need more.
Cook until done: after you cook the fish for seven minutes over medium heat and end up with a fishy doorstop you will realize the value of this lesson. My burners may not put out the same BTUs as the stove in the test kitchen. My cookware may be more conductive, or less or have hot spots compared to the cookware used in the test kitchen. My fish may not be cut to the same thickness as that used in the recipe. My recipe may be vague ("filet of medium thickness") or completely untested (which is why I like to look at more than one recipe for the same thing).
The rest is just experimentation. It's fun, even when it flops. At my house, we call them "noble failures." We'll sit back and look at each other and say
HE: Well, that didn't work.
SHE: No, but it was a noble effort.
HE: A noble failure.
SHE: Indeed. What went wrong?
And then we deconstruct what we did - ingredients, methods, pacing. Cooking is a great adventure. I hope that you enjoy your cooking adventure.
re: BeaN
Such good advice! But, if I were starting out as a new cook, I would follow a recipe first, and "make my own creations" later. I still do that with foods I am not familiar with, or with recipes that many people recommend here and on Epicurious. I have been cooking for over 50 years and still rely on recipes a lot, especially the 1st time I make an unfamiliar dish. I think it is funny when I read reviews on Epi, and people write that the recipe turned out awful, and then list all the changes they made to the original! As recommended above, get the Joy of Cooking. If I were starting out, I would like to have this book by Jaques Pepin: http://www.amazon.com/Jacques-Pepins-... I haven't seen it, but I think he is a wonderful teacher.
re: MazDee
I didn't say not to use recipes, rather to use recipes to focus on technique and as a guide to what goes together:
"Of course you are going to use recipes as you learn technique . . . The recipes will act as a primer to what pairs with what. If I'm going to make coq au vin, for example, I might look at three or four recipes from good sources and analyze what they have in common and where they differ"
re: BeaN
>The rest is just experimentation. It's fun, even when it flops.
Yes, Ma'am! My teenage daughter was razzing me in front of hosts at a cookout we attended Saturday, where I was put to work on the grill. She was saying something about how I had once burned something. My comment was that the only person who doesn't burn something once in a while is someone who doesn't cook.
Nothing ventured; nothing gained. One learns as much, if not more, from failure as from success!
I agree with what Bea said. It seems to me that, since you're interested in being liberated from recipes, you need to concentrate on learning technique.
But. If you are really new at this, you do need to gain a basic knowledge of ingredients, just as you yourself said, a little bit about food science, something about equipment, and then a little background on compatible flavor companions.
Others have mentioned Joy of Cooking, and while it is a recipe book, I think it's helpful for the beginner because it has a couple of good chapters that discuss ingredients. Now, I have an older edition, from the 70s, and I heard some complaints about the newer editions (that they've been dumbed down). I haven't seen them, but I've heard that from some pretty good cooks. So one thing you could do is see if you could pick up an older version (w/Irma Rombauer) off of Amazon, etc. It would be less expensive, too.
As for learning about compatible flavors, I don't think you could do any better than to get yourself a copies of Culinary Artistry, by Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page, and The Flavor Bible, by the same authors. These books focus on teaching the reader about flavors, from meats to produce to condiments to herbs and spices, that either are compatible or fight with one another. I go to Culinary Artistry constantly to refer to the easy-to-use lists of happy ingredient companions. I'm like you, I think--I never had much patience for recipes, although of course I have used them when making something unfamiliar or complicated that I enjoyed elsewhere first, and I do use them for baking, baking being a precise undertaking. But, cooking, no, not much. But it's essential that you learn proper technique and equipment; after that, you can experiment and create and come up with masterpieces by interchanging the ingredients.
For the technique, you might consider getting some DVDs from notable, accomplished chefs, either versus or in addition to books. Something about seeing the demonstration that makes it sticks. Maybe others here could make recommendations.
re: Normandie
Wow! Such wonderful and great comments! Thank you all!
Really Great info.
Would a book by Julia Child also be of great interest also?
re: achilles007
I gave a copy of The Way To Cook by Julia Child to a beginning cook, and she loved it so much she later bought the "Mastering" books as well. See if there's a copy at your local bookstore... browse through it and see if you like it.
Martha Stewart's "Cooking School" is the book I would give someone new to cooking. It's technique-driven and has many excellent photographs of ingredients, equipment, and techniques.
In addition, there's lots of useful info that you don't find in most cookbooks. (for instance, she explains meat labeling -- organic, natural, grass-fed, etc.
I have many of the books suggested above, and like them all. Stewart's book, however, is the best for a true beginner, IMO.
"A New Way to Cook" by Sally Schneider is a nice way to learn to wing it. It has a healthy slant with options (2 Tbs flavorful fat means olive oil or butter or bacon grease). She lays out a technique (roasting poultry) and leaves room for personalization (spice rub - optional and then some suggested rubs). You learn some basic techniques and different methods of adding flavor to dishes.
re: corneygirl
I love that cookbook, but I find it so unapplealing to look at - no pics, not colorful, etc. So while I'd say it's more on the utilitarian end of the spectrum looks-wise, I agree w/you on its merits . . . hopefully the OP knows himself well enough to decide if it'd be one he'd use!
re: gansu girl
I agree with the lack of pictures, but then again Joy of cooking is mostly without pictures. It is a great ingredient driven cookbook that I go to when I have (fill in the blank) to use up and have no idea what to do with it.
re: corneygirl
Good point, and you know, on thinking about it, How To Cook Everything hasn't got good pics either. So I guess I should ease up on Sally Schneider . . . .
re: gansu girl
I have how to cook everything but I'm not a fan, so I think this is the perfect example of to each their own. Maybe I should check Bittman out again thou...
Side note, I checked out your blog and added it to my favorites.
re: corneygirl
Agreed! I wasn't a fan of HTCE for a long time, and it's grown on me - but almost exclusively as a reference, not as an inspiration tool.
And I'm glad you like the blog!
A good way to learn is to watch someone cook. Be it a parent, friend, instructor or even TV if that's all you have.
Watching and reading still doesn't mean you'll get it right the first time, so you'll need to get in there to gain the experience.
Before going off on your own and experimenting it's a good idea to get a good basic cookbook, and follow the recipes and enjoy whatever it is you've created.
Later on you can switch it up by changing an ingredient or spice and experimenting.. keep going and don't let bumps in the road stop you!
There were a lot of cookbooks that gives ideas for new recipes of foods and how to cook them, you can try to check the stores for them. If you don't want to have new recipes on your own, you can try to cook foods according to your own recipe.
re: epabella
I totally agree. I've got this set myself and have gotten so much out of it. A lton is a master at explaining things in an entertaining way.
A good book to have is Ratio: The Simple Codes Behind the Craft of Everyday Cooking by Michael Ruhlman. It's not a stand alone cook book, but if you have it on hand while you're trying things, Ratio will help you see how things go together.
re: yayadave
Wow!!! Thanks guys! This is GREAT info!
this website is the BEST!
This may seem really random, but there was a thread on 101cookbooks a while ago, that addressed a similar question by an older gentleman who found himself alone in the kitchen for the first time, and didn't even know where to begin. The gracious responses are worth perusing if you need your faith in humanity restored just a bit, but they're also terribly useful for a beginning cook.
As far as my own advice, I don't think anyone ever learned to cook well by tackling everything at once. Why not make a list of ten things you love but can't cook, and ten things you think you SHOULD be able to cook? Then take one from each list per month and master them.
re: LauraGrace
Great!! I was trying to find a way to say "Don't think you're going to be Julia Childs, or even her friend Julie." You said it right and gave a perfect, practical method for beginning. Great!!
You probably should post it on http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/653574 to guide that young person.
Here's a little old-fashioned book that I dearly love: The Seasoning Spoon by Loris Troup (older edition called The Tasting Spoon, publ 1955). Each chapter is about two pages long, and dedicated to a spice or herb-- talks about the flavor and tells what dishes typically incorporate it. Everything's in alphabetical order. Includes wine, vinegar, and olive oil. No illustrations, just text. Includes a "potpourri" of hints at the end. I'm sure you could find a used copy quite cheap at Amazon.

Fans hoping to see Sarita back in TNA (we sure do!) may have to hold out a while longer — she's heading to Japan for two months.
The sorely underutilized Knockout announced via Facebook that she will be taking part in a two-month stay in Japan while competing for STARDOM.
She wrote:
I'm very excited to announce that in less than 2 weeks I'll be leaving for a 2 month tour of Japan with STARDOM, and to compete in the 5 STAR GP2012 tournament. I'll miss you, Mexico!
Sarita hasn't been seen in TNA for a number of months. Meanwhile, her storyline cousin, Rosita, who has also been absent from TV, recently worked TNA house shows.
Best of luck to Sarita in Japan!
Stardom have one of the coolest looking title around hope she becomes champ. maybe her partner will join her and win the tag titles
Well at least that it give her something to do rather than to sit at home and do nothing and wait for TNA to call her up to say for her to comeback to work.
She actually works for CMLL in Mexico so she doesn't just sit at home with nothing to do.
In TNA if you're not a former Diva you're nobody =(
Madison Rayne?
This is just speculation, but because Sarita works for CMLL, and TNA is currently in a partnership/co-promoting with AAA which is CMLL's biggest rival in Mexico, TNA is reluctant to push Sarita, especially with the 'rumoured' AAA wrestlers appearing in TNA later this year. There could be all sorts of contractual issues and problems for Sarita if this were to happen.
But in the short term, I don't really see why they can't at least use Sarita in any sort of capacity, even if it's just for her to put Tessmacher over in a short title program, or with Rosita against Eric Young & ODB (to at least have them defend those never defended titles).
Fact is though, Sarita doesn't need TNA to make a good living, and at least her contract seems to let her wrestle wherever she wants to. I just wish it was more in North America!
You and me both I agree with everything you said she is good and it's said that TNA doesn't use her at all I loved her and Rosita as tag champion, I think they were a little overshadowed with Hernadez and Anarquira, but they were good as heels and did get some good heat!!!!
The TNA has never seen Sarah as a major star, even when she was meant to. According to the WON, she dissapointed the TNA officials right after her tryout matches. So, it figures.
She's not used because there's no creativity plans for her since Anarquía was fired and the MA faction was disbanded. AAA has nothing to do here. Besides, bringing her back and forth from México is expensive for TNA, and you know they want to save some money.
I personally spoke with her two months ago regarding her TNA situation: Among other things, she told she was very happy with TNA and she didn't mind losing permanently or not getting titles. She does whatever TNA requests. Even the sexual comedy is not a problem. Her only concern is to get her payday. She also told me she's only with TNA in the USA and has no interest doing indies. She sadly bragged of making more money that the other girls in México and said she didn't need titles. It was sad and dissapointing to see her talking like that.
Some wrestling sites said she renewed her contract until late 2012. If this is true, it's very likely she'll get released from TNA by that date.
Both WWE and TNA are no places for real talented female wrestlers. They love to waste them.
So there's another two months we won't see her. Interesting that she only mentioned Mexico. She's probably gone from TNA by the end of the year.
But yes, the consolation here is that she's already a regular with a very large mainstream promotion in Mexico and her name and ability were already respected in the American independents long before TNA came along so she's certainly not going to be struggling without them.
fuck TNA they don't realize talent when she's standing right in front of them. She'll wrestle more in Japan than in her entire TNA career.
Good luck to her anyway I know she will kick ass in Japan!!
Go over their and kick ass sarita. knockouts are boring without her, shes the best technical female next to gail.
Pleased for her. Japan will be a challenge and exciting experience for her, of that im sure she'll relish the opportunity. The sad thing is i doubt TNA will notice she's gone. Lol

Forbes ranks Jax near top for finding jobs
Updated On: Apr 25 2013 01:19:08 AM EDT
Forbes magazine is out with a list of the 10 best cities for finding employment, and it ranks Jacksonville as No. 3.
The magazine used analysis by the human resources firm Adecco Staffing to find the cities in the United States with the fullest employment. The company used information from the Department of Labor, as well as internal data around job growth and demand, and then determined which areas are the best for finding a job.
With unemployment at 6.5 percent, Jacksonville has strong hiring in higher education, health care, IT, food services, transportation and logistics and government work from the city's Navy bases.
"We are excited about it. It coincides with the vision I laid to put people back to work by focusing on our growth industries," said Jacksonville Mayor, Alvin Brown. "When I came into office almost two years ago, unemployment was 11.2 percent and today it is 6.5 percent, so we are going in the right direction and we are working with our stakeholders to put people back to work and invest in the future."
Researchers found Jacksonville had a diverse and highly educated labor force.
"Jobs are being added in Jacksonville because of the recent addition of several companies and headquarters that are new to the area including finance and manufacturing companies," Sam Gillespie, a branch manager with the human resources firm Adecco Staffing U.S., told Forbes. "The IT job market has been hot throughout the city with the addition of these companies."
The data found the No. 1 place in the U.S. for finding jobs is the Bethesda, Md., metro area, where the unemployment rate is 5.2 percent, as of February 2013. That's 2.5 percentage points lower than the national rate, which was 7.7 percent in February.
The Austin, Texas area, which has an unemployment rate of 5.3 percent, holds the No. 2 spot. From March 2012 to March 2013, the unemployment level dropped by 0.7 percent, indicating that an already strong market is improving.
New York City came in at No. 8, which surprised the employment professionals because it is such a concentrated and competitive market.
According to Forbes, the top 10 cities (listed below) all are booming with new businesses.
|Bethesda, Md.
|Austin, Texas
|Jacksonville, Fla.
|Grand Rapids, Mich.
|Columbus, Ohio
|Seattle, Wash.
|Phoenix, Ariz.
|New York
|Richmond, Va.
|Oklahoma City, Okla.

Did anyone read his letter explaining his termination? I'm not the best speller, but hey Curtis have you ever heard of spell check? If I was releasing a letter to a major publication, I would make sure everything was correct. Maybe I should cut him slack because he could have thrown down a few drinks with his current situation. Talking about drinking If he was still on the air I could have started a new drinking game. The rules of the game would be you would take a shot everytime Curtis said Obama and communist in the same sentence. Most likely you would be drunk in five minutes.

Left Speaker Crackling???
This ones got me currently stumped. When playing vid files and mp3's, I'm getting a harsh crackling sound out of my left speaker. This occurs in Media Center, WMP and VLC.
It's not my speakers or amp because Vista / DVD / 360 is perfectly fine.
I have tried installing audio drivers WITH and WITHOUT compatibility mode with no difference. I have installed / uninstalled Vista Codec Package with no difference. I swore at it with no difference
On my Old PC, I had no crackling problems in 7. With my new mobo I do. I have also installed the Asus mobo chipset drivers under compatability mode (wouldn't work otherwise)
So basically I've temporarily run out of ideas, however I'm leaning to a mobo chipset issue. Any ideas?

wow, I'm not the only one? i even re-arranged my wires thinking it was some sort of interference.
It stopped...

Check your speaker wires ...
Pull on them. (Gently) Are they secure. The sure way to 'crackles' is wires not connected properly. Don't just look - check.
|My System Specs
|24 Nov 2008
Yep, I'd already checked the wires. One of the first things I did. All good there. As I said in my OP, it's 7 specific. It even happens through my headphones plugged directly into the card.
I've done a little further investigating and it looks like the crackling only occurs when my soundcard is set to 'speakers' (analog) in Play Back Devices. It's not actually left speaker specific. As I tried a few different sources and a few different settings I discovered that it affects my left front, left surround (wireless), and center depending on the source / setting. The right speakers did not appear to be affected.
In Play Back devices, Using the digital output, the crackling stops.
The downside to using the digital output is that I can only get stereo from 2 ch sources. I lose the ability to use Dolby Digital Live and DTS interactive, so no more upmixing 2 channel sources to 5.1 (one of the main reasons I bought this card )
At least I've stopped the crackling and eliminated a few potential causes
I've now re-adjusted my lean and am thinking it's a driver issue, but I'm sure it didn't crackle with the old PC. It certainly wasn't as prevalent as it is now

Try using windows update to search from MS collection of drivers. My laptop got sigmatel chips that do not work well under compatibility mode. But it cannot detect the speakers unless the original drivers are used.
After letting the old drivers detect the sound chips, I was able to use windows update (Windows 7) for better drivers.
But onscreen display of shortcut function keys arbitrarily deactivate, and sometimes, I need to press mute to turn on speaker sound.
|My System Specs

Hi TripleA welcome to forums
Unfortunately my drivers aren't available via Windows Update in either 7 or Vista (I've checked). In fact, there aren't even any MS 'default' drivers that work with it. So for the time being, I'm stuck using the digital out.
It wouldn't be so bad except the Far Cry 2 sounds no longer work and the ATI drivers are making DX10 unplayable in Vista.

Hmmm - the fact that it affects everything but right speakers (depending upon source) suggests to me that the drivers are not correctly manipulating stereo sound - IIRC, almost always the right channel is used when using mono sound, but I suppose that the OS / driver could be trying to do something to the sound to either 'emulate' stereo sound or else to try to 'enhance' it....

Hmm, may be you don't have Windows 7 ready speakers lol.
Could you tell us the product info?

Windows 7 Build 7100
Yeah, I had this issue with Windows 7 when I upgraded from Windows Vista because of the Windows Vista sound drivers. It appears that the sound drivers for Win 7 are not exactly the same as Vista. I can't explain why but when I removed the sound drivers and then searched for devices the default Windows 7 drivers were installed for my chipset. However it may be that Windows 7 will not find your drivers. In this event we just need to wait for drivers. Many companies have been launching pre-release drivers for beta testing purposes to ensure they will have everything working nicely by release. Perhaps contacting your motherboard support and see if they have any drivers for that model to test with Win 7. It is very rare at this time since it was released as a Pre-beta, however I know ATI and NVIDIA do both have them already.
Anyways just wanted to ensure you, you are not alone!!

A Southeastern Wisconsin man wants a preliminary hearing for some charges he faces after an odd incident that was caught on tape in Price County.
Online court records say 28-year-old Jesse Rutherford of Big Bend made the request during a court appearance Tuesday.
Sheriff's deputies were called to a home about 25 miles southeast of Phillips on May 18, around 10:15 p.m.
They say a church youth group was camping in a yard when a man, later identified Rutherford, approached them with a gun.
He's accused of telling the group to get on their knees and help him get his car out of a ditch.
When the car would not start, police say Rutherford let some of the boys go when they told him they would come back with a truck to pull his car out. That's when they ran and called for help.
He's charged with eight crimes including recklessly endangering safety.
Rutherford is free on a $5,000 cash bond.
A preliminary hearing is where a judge decides if there's enough evidence for the case to go to trial.

Time for an interventionOctober 10,2013The American public has lost patience with Washington. The question is, now what?
Congress is unable to do its job. It displays neither competence nor responsibility. It lurches reeling from crisis to crisis, each one self-manufactured in an effort to postpone the reckoning from some earlier crisis. It shut the government down over a temporary budget. Now its threatening the financial credibility of the U.S. government and the security and safety of the American people. Three years of last-minute spending decisions have culminated in a television standoff with no actual negotiations.
Too many members of Congress reject the notion that accommodation and time-honored procedures allow them to fulfill their responsibilities to the American people. They use their legislative skill to engage in brinksmanship rather than address the countrys fundamental problems.
Economic growth? Creating jobs? Putting the federal budget on a sustainable path? Dont look to Congress. Theyre too busy coming up with the next short-term tactic to confront the other side. Every day they dither, they keep the government from addressing the nations real problems.
Even worse, theyve managed to raise real questions in this country and abroad about whether our system of government can work. Are we saddled with a national legislature paralyzed by unending conflict? Are we capable of tackling our major problems? We are on the road to a government that cannot plan, a country shackled by perpetual uncertainty, and a loss of faith in our institutions both at home and abroad.
We do not have to continue down that road, but we do have to confront a core problem. The political center in Congress has weakened to the point of ineffectiveness, if not near-irrelevance.
Thats fine with some people in Washington, who are comfortable with gridlock and dont think its consequences will be dire. Our governments inability to deal with problems, they argue, is good a government thats able to act, they believe, creates more problems than it solves.
Likewise, some people acknowledge polarization as a problem, but blame it on an electorate that prefers a divided government, split between the parties. All I can say is that divided government in the past think Ronald Reagan and Tip ONeill didnt keep Congress from creatively addressing national challenges. Divided government is not easy, but it is not unusual, and it can work.
Politicians dont deserve all the blame. Voters share responsibility: More people have to turn out to vote. The more people who vote, the better the chances to strengthen the political center that is, moderates and pragmatists. Thats because low turnout brings out the most ideologically intense voters, who in turn reward the most polarizing candidates. A Congress more representative of the American people rests on expanding efforts to convince people to vote, and beating back the barriers to voting.
The second solution lies with members of Congress. Contemplating a government shutdown, a Kentucky congressman recently explained his stance by saying, All that really matters is what my district wants. This is not an uncommon view, but its a distressingly limited one. Our system depends on members who believe its also their responsibility to lead and inform voters, who are willing to weigh the national interest as well as parochial concerns and who have confidence in our system to resolve political differences.
In other words, we need members of Congress devoted to making the system work. We need men and women in office who understand that when the voters give us a divided government, they have no choice but to accept the distribution of power and work with it, regardless of what they wish were the case. We need legislators who realize that those on the other side feel just as passionately and deserve their respect, and who are committed to finding a solution to our problems.
We change laws in our democracy and solve our most difficult issues in this country not by bringing government to a halt, but by fighting out the issues before the voters in an election. At the end of the day, we have to move the country forward and we need to elect members of Congress who are willing and able to do that.

Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 has been arrested for heroin possession - 12 bindles' worth of the stuff - and assault on her husband Courtland Rogers.
Police discovered the small paper packets of drugs on Jenelle's possession when they arrived at her residence following an alleged domestic dispute.
The reality star was also found to be illegally in possession of prescription drug Percocet, along with illegal drug paraphernalia (papers and a pipe).
And then there's the assault charge, which came after Evans allegedly struck her spouse WITH A PIECE OF FURNITURE during a domestic dispute.
Courtland Rogers was arrested, as well, as he is believed to have hit Jenelle Evans on the neck on top of "striking her with a closed fist on her head."

Fort Meade | Member Since 2012
"Ummm... Kinda Disappointed... But still loved it!!"
Let me say this right now… I totally love Kellan and Kiera. I totally love the Thoughtless series.. and I have being waiting like forever for Effortless to come out so maybe my expectation were just a little bit too high.
Now. Review time.
This book picks up like right after book 2… like right after the bar wedding… in fact Kellan and Kiera are on their honeymoon. I must say, even the smex scenes in this book did not leave me gasping and covering my mouth like the other books did. I was soooo waiting for that too. The story was good… I mean it was just what you would expect for Kellan and Kiera's relationship to evolve into. Plus I was so proud of Kiera for handling KelSex the way she did. So mature from Kiera's previous personality. Great improvement, but I kind of wish old Kiera would have made an appearance and slapped Sextan around the bar one good time…. But she didn't. The whole book I was waiting for that pinch in the heartstring feeling and it just didn't come. So for me… I totally love the story…but it was like one huge epilogue for the first two books. It kind of just finalizes everything. Well I take that back… only one drama filled scene happen right at the end…but it was over and done then everything summed up nicely. If you're a fan of this series by all means… get this book and listen and enjoy. Just don't expect your toes to curl like it did with book 1 and 2, this will just round out the series for you.
Narration was great as usual.
Good buy if you're a fan/ good credit if you're just getting started.
"OMG! Awesome!"
Wow... these books get better and better. I personally love m/m romance, but this was more of a m/m/f romance... which are usually not done right, because if three people are going to be in a relationship... why do all three people always have to be together at the same time... that is just not realistic... but Kit has figured it out... especially about the m/m relationship in a threesome...
This was perfect... Ace and Kane had to have a relationship of their own to fully be secure in the threesome... It's like each person had to have a solid relationship with each other... which totally made this work... I loved it..
This books are graphic, raw and down right smexy!!! So enjoyable...
Worth a credit or sale...b/c this book is pretty pricey!
Narration...of course was Amayz!
Seriously, another Matter of Times book!!!! Ok.. let me calm my nerves!!! I was so not expecting this!!!
Ok.. I absolutely love the Matter of Times series... and I though Duncan and Aaron's book was the last...but Wowza!!! This was just sooo... amazing... I loved the relationship between Miro and Ian!!!
It was so well done... I mean how could Ian not be in love with Miro the way he was always touchy feely with him...it was so obvious... I love how the reader totally knows these two are in love, but the characters have yet to discover their own feelings... Calmes is a genius in letting the reader know "of course these two are meant for each other" without actually telling you and letting the story unfold... It was great!
Plus.. we get to see Sam Cage in action! Love that... It was like all the characters we love came back in either a scene or a cameo... (Duncan, Aaron, Jory and the Cage kids) Plus the minivan!!!! LOL... AWESOME!!!
So worth a credit, buy or sale... I must have if you have invested in the Matter of Times series.
Narration was great... Loved Miro's voice!
You know what... I love everything Mary Calmes write...well just about.. Her paranormal stories are just as good as her non-paranormal books... I loved how this book started.. I was like... how is this paranormal...then bam! The wolves come out! This was simply great. The relationship between the two main characters was extremely well written, and it only help add to the drama when everything started happening... Loved it!
Mary Calmes is one of the top m/m romance writers so, yeah.. so worth a credit, buy or sale.
Narration was awesome!
I found my self unable to put this book down for some reason. It was awesome... basic marriage of convenience story, but man... I totally loved this one! I found my self laughing out loud at moments and getting just as angry as the characters when unfortunate stuff would happen.... but the HEA was awesome!!! Well worth a credit or sale.
Narration was pretty good too!
"Good , but not great!"
I didn't like this one as much as I enjoyed book 1. The heroine left! WTF!!! Why leave when you have all these alpha men surrounding you for protection... I mean... I get it..she wanted to protect her guy...but c'mon!
Anyway.. this was still a good listen. The smexy time was simply great... the action and adventure was not half bad either.
Narration... well I hate dual narration...but other than that.. I was ok... nothing to complain about...
Worth a credit or sale!
Katie Reus books are always enjoyable. This is the first book in the Sin City series, about the Serafina Hotel and it's employees. I like it. Very basic damsel in distress story, but the alpha maleness is what makes this story stand out. So smexy!
Great for a quick listen/read!
Narration was great... no complaints here... Great credit, or sale.
"Enjoyable Listen!"
This was an enjoyable listen. Great m/m romance of young college love... One awkward violinist, who forms a weird and secretive friendship with a football jock, slowly grows into a relationship. I enjoyed it.
Well worth a credit or a sale.
Narration was pretty good too!
"Wow! What a great adventure this was!"
Wow! I totally loved this book! I can't hardly wait to listen to the rest of the THIRDS... Please Audible....hurry up and get this entire series on here!
I have to admit...starting out... I thought this was going to be a long drawn out boring book, half-way at an attempt to mix m/m romance with paranormal suspense...but NOPE! What I got was a complete emotional roller coaster! I totally fell in love with every single character... to included the relationships among Destructive Delta (the THIRDS team).
I wish there was a bit more smexy time...but the smexy time added to the story...the story didn't revolve around it... which is always a plus....
The side relationship with Dex's brother and Sloane's BFF...well now... that is going to be one interesting book! Oh let's not forget the two silent team members... Trust me...once you listen you will definitely know what I am talking about.
All in all this book was great. Dex was a cop, who got transferred to the THIRDS because he testified against his crooked partner. Fortunately for him, his brother and "dad" are members of this new shifter team of cops. Dex is cooky and off the wall with his antics but he is a great cop... and Sloane well...he comes off as this tough shifter team leader, but he was simply a man trying to cope with the loss of his lover. I loved the build up and angsty moments between Dex and Sloane...
Hopefully book 2 will flesh out their relationship a bit more...
So worth a credit or sale... Narration was good..not great...but good!
"Narration was horrible!!!!"
OMG! Why, oh Why did the narration change for book 2! Finally I fall in love with a dual narration...which I usually hate.. and them bam! Book 2 has the worst narration ever... I can't even tell who is talking half the time. Such a waste too...because this series is so good... it should be a crime... but man... the narration was just horrible... I seriously hope Audible goes back to their narration table and get the two that did book 1 to lock in for the rest of this series... OMG! Do disappointed...
I have no idea what actually happen... I skipped here and there...Had to rewind just to figure out who said what! Horrible...
Now, since I have read the actual book, I already know that Nick comes back and the ending was superb... another baby on board... Nick's sister has some drama with Nick's enemy...I mean I was a great read...but narration.. HORRIBLE!!!
Worth a sale... don't buy or credit...you will be disappointed.
"Good , but not great!"
This was super good...but just not on the same level as Jake and Tru's story. I honestly think it was the narration... If maybe just one narrator would have read this, I could stay in character better. IDK... plus the whole I want you so bad, but no, your a whore thing...was a bit much in the beginning... Plus we all know Tom as the horn dog...but in this, he was just so not Tom... Like I said...it was good...but not great..
Definitely worth a credit, but maybe not a buy... yes to sale...most definitely...

2008-02-05 21:56:42; you don't know what you're talking about.having a strong storyline elevates this series beyond smut that's all about sex, and into the realm of erotica, where you don't need to have sex in every single chapter.
Good work, man.You raised this series to a new level.
