Social media outlets like Facebook, Twitter, and ask.fm have, along with gaming websites, become popular haunts for cyber-bullies.
Cyber-bullying is defined as any nasty or harmful electronic communication, and it is becoming more and more prevalent. One study out of The Pew research center estimates that 90% of teens will be victims of some sort of cyberbullying at one point or another. Another survey (cited recently by the NY State Assembly in a memo accompanying antibullying legislation passed last June) found that found 18% of New York high school students had been bullied on school property during the previous year, while nearly 16% had been cyberbullied through electronic communications such as email, instant messaging, and text messages. Likewise, according to a poll by the AP 21 % of students acknowledged participating in bullying activity.
Statistics aside, Cyberbullying has had sometimes tragic consequences.
Many were horrified about the reported death of a Massachusetts 15 year old who killed herself after allegedly being bullied, both on Facebook and in person, for months by other students. Massachusetts has since passed antibullying legislation. So has NJ, the state where a Rutgers freshman killed himself after his roommate live-streamed his sexual encounter with another man. The roommate has since been convicted of violating privacy laws and has been sentenced to prison.

Lauryn + Jimmy were married on August 14th, 2010. The day started off at one of my favorite hotels in LA called the SLS Hotel! I had the talented Denise Bovee by my side as a second shooter and Nick Radford as an assistant that day. Lauryn + Jimmy's wedding was full of so much eye candy that I almost had a creative overload. That's definitely a GOOD problem to have!
....and of course, what would a wedding blog post be without an online slideshow?! Click here to see it!

Melissa + Eddie....happy sighhhhhhh, what a good looking couple!!! They were married on July 31st. On top of enjoying the personality and beauty of Melissa + Eddie together, I adored the details, colors & vendors of this day!
Since Justin was away, busy producing his first feature film Ben Banks, I was graced by the presence of Erin from He And She Photography as my second shooter and Jen from Jen Lauren Grant Photography as my assistant.
I absolutely LOVED the way Nicole DeAnne did Melissa's hair & make-up!
My Favorite shot of the day! Melissa & Eddie held their reception at the Red Horse Barn in Huntington Beach, so of course we utilized the surroundings!
My favorite item of the day...the family tree! Thank you to Jesi Haack and crew for coordinating the day so well!
Sweet & Saucy Shop provided the most amazing desserts!
Since Melissa + Eddie met while salsa dancing, they had a dance teacher come out and teach the guests a few salsa moves!
I could laugh ALL day long at this cake cutting/shoving series! The first photo with Eddie's expression while he "lovingly" shoves cake into his bride's face is priceless! Don't fret though, Melissa gets her shot right after! Soooo funny!
Clickety click here for more photos from this lovely, colorful day!

The World of Warcraft Armory
I am not really struggling with threat in our 25m Uldar but i do cap 2 of our dps on most bosses and alot of them on some, so i feel i need to do something. I usually average ~5-7k tps with frequent spikes to 10k. Im not doing bad, i just need MORE. My survivability isnt an issue at all right now (i have kick ass healers), but i know what to do if that becomes an issue.
I tried hitting exp hard cap, 60. Seemed to help a tad but imo the cost was way too high (3.5k hp before buffs, 7k! after), so i went back. Its a testament to my healers that my survivability didnt seem to change while i did this.
The gear i have on is pretty much all i have, it actually is coincidence im stacking exp on my gear. But even so im open to suggestions on what to shoot for. I commonly drool over Aesirs edge (dropped this week but i wasnt there :(
Talents...im not sure what to do. Ive read SoB over sub, is that really a great increase? Seems like 9% crit on HS would be way better, i do alot of HSs.
I know my TPS is acceptable, but i have a really strong feeling i can do better. Im mainly curious about SoB vs Subversion and ive also seen some lose MoM and take a point in BCB, but that seems like a loss.
Also i can hit 565 def, which lets me switch runes. I lose ~1500 hp when i do, but would the 4% parry be a noticable increase in tps?
Any tips/advice/criticism is greatly appreciated.

Fasting--Week Two
After talking to my husband and praying A LOT, I decided to stop the Daniel Fast after day seven, and begin the fast my husband was doing starting on day eight. The first day was rough. I was hungry, cranky and felt dizzy, but I made it through. My husband leaves for work around 6 am, so he had been getting up around 4 am to make breakfast and have time for devotions. I've been doing the same for the past seven days, and although it is taking some getting used to, I am enjoying this fast. After the first day, praying has helped me through the hunger, and I actually have more energy than when I was eating last week! My husband and I are growing closer, and I feel more connected to God. We've even had some prayers answered this week AND I still haven't had a cup of coffee!

Daniel Fast, Day 4 Update
The past three days have been awful! Giving up coffee was really hard, and I had to pray A LOT to resist just giving up. My hubby is doing a 40 day fast, but he opted to do a liquids only fast from 6 am to 6 pm daily. I am hypoglycemic, and do not feel that type of fast would be best for me, which is why I chose the Daniel Fast. That being said, the coffee craving was so strong on days 1-3 that I even thought about doing my hubby's fast just so I could go back to drinking coffee. I know that's not what the Lord wants me to do, so I just kept praying. Today is much better. I'm regaining my energy and my headache is gone. I don't feel any closer to God yet, but I'm learning a lot more about what it means to be a Christian through my daily Bible study and devotions.

Daniel Fast
I'm starting the Daniel Fast on Sunday. I'm a pescetarian, so I won't have to cut out as much of my diet as a meat eater would. I'm not anticipating this to be easy though. Giving up coffee is going to be the hardest part for me, but I have faith that God will bring me through the 21 days. I'm hoping to update at least weekly. Anyone have tips?

Julep--July Maven Box
My profile for Julep is the "It Girl" but I usually end up choosing polishes from a few of the profiles. This month, I decided to stick with my original box even though I'm not a huge fan of yellow or glitter. I'm so happy I did, because I LOVE all three polishes! The pictures don't do the colors justice, especially Braiden! I ordered a mystery box, but it hasn't arrived yet. Stay tuned for that!
If you'd like to try Julep for free, use my link and they will e-mail you a code for a free box!
Disclosure: I paid for this subscription with my own money. I was not compensated in any way for this post.

My first Julep Boxes
I have always loved nail polish, but I stopped buying it for a while because I was getting my nails done at the salon. I recently became interested in doing my own nails again, and found Julep.com. I instantly fell in love with all of the color choices, and ordered my first box right away. If you don't know about Julep, it's a monthly nail polish subscription box. The first thing you do when you sign up is take a quiz to find out your "maven style profile." Mine is "It Girl," which includes three limited edition nail polish colors each month. One thing I love about Julep is the ability to customize each box. You can choose from any of the profiles, and can also swap out your products for other products. Once your box is chosen, you can pick up to three add-ons for a discount. I got my first box for free (just paid shipping), and chose a few add ons, so my first box ended up coming to around $30. I ended up with 7 gorgeous nail polishes and the Freedom to Go set (full size and travel size base/top coat).
From left to right: Maren, Margaret, Flora, Natalie, Amy, Alice & Blakely
These pictures and swatches do NOT do these colors justice! They are beautiful!
About a week after I received my first box, they had mystery boxes available. I had heard mixed reviews about their mystery boxes, but had to try one out for myself.
I chose the "Golden Ticket Mystery Box 3" and was very happy with what I received!
Left side: Nic & Scarlett. Top Right: Glam Roc (Stardust Finish), Shoshanna & Stevie. The bottom right shows the entire box. I received 5 nail polishes, the halo lip gloss set and a packet of seeds.
I am currently awaiting my June box, which will include two polishes and their new Plie wand. I also added on an additional nail polish, the Plie wand creativity kit and a packet of the swatch stickers because I love them and want to add them to my other polish bottles!
If you want a FREE BOX, click here to use my link to sign up!
FTC Disclosure: I used my own money to purchase all of these products. I am in no way affiliated with Julep.com.

Do you have trouble sleeping? Are you health conscious and prefer to use natural remedies? If so, check out Glysonna!
Glysonna is a natural dietary supplement that supports the sleep process. It contains active ingredients which directly encourage sleep, and wellness ingredients which act as a multivitamin by nourishing the body overnight.
My mom and brother both have trouble falling asleep and staying asleep, so I asked them to try Glysonna. They both said it helped on some nights, but not all. My opinion is that if it helps even a little, it's worth it! Any extra sleep is better than none.
Here are some FAQ's from the Glysonna website:
Is Glysonna approved by the FDA?
Products classed as dietary supplements do not require FDA approval in the same manner that prescription and over-the-counter medications do. That said, our focus is the wellness of our customers and every effort has been made to ensure the natural formula is optimized for maximum strength without causing unwanted side effects. In addition, all of our ingredients are on the FDA's safe list.
What is Glysonna made of?
Glysonna contains eight active ingredients – Glycine, L-Theanine, JuJube Extract, Phenibut, Hops Extract, Passion Flower Extract, Cinnamon Extract and Melatonin – and seven wellness ingredients – Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, Zinc, Selenium, Niacin and Magnesium.
And now, for your chance to win a bottle of Glysonna! Giveaway is open to U.S. residents.

Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum
Meaningful Beauty's Creme de Serum is the newest product in Cindy Crawford's Meaningful Beauty anti-aging skin product line. I received the product free from Influenster, but all opinions are my own.
I was blessed with clear, youthful looking skin. I'm 32 and people tell me that I look like a high school student. When I received the VoxBox from Influenster, I did not think this Creme de Serum would do anything for my skin, since I do not have wrinkles or fine lines. I was wrong. My face has never been more hydrated or brighter!

I'm Back!
I haven't blogged regularly in a very long time, but I'm back! I've been married for a little over 3 years, and could not have asked for a better man to spend my life with. He is truly heaven sent and I don't know what I would do without him. We have not yet been blessed with children, but we pray that one day we will be able to have a family. Right now, we are enjoying being 30-somethings living near NYC.
I am hoping to get back into doing product reviews and giveaways, but for now, I will just talk about my life, and the things I love. I am a brand ambassador for JustFab.com, so you will see reviews of their shoes, handbags and denim from time to time.
I hope you are enjoying your Veteran's Day. I am blessed to have married a veteran. I live my life each day with a true hero.

L'Oreal Paris Magic BB Cream Review
I was recently given the opportunity to review L'Oreal Paris Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream. I have been using another brand's BB Cream for a few months, so I was excited to be able to compare the two brands.
The L'Oreal BB Cream is white, with small beads that blend into your skin. I like how light it feels on my skin. The cream easily blended into my skin, and I couldn't tell that I had anything on my face. It did seem to even out my skin, but it did not cover blemishes. I have dry skin, and this was not enough of a moisturizer for me. I had to apply an additional moisturizer before using the product. After reviewing this product for about 2 weeks, I found that I liked this one better than the brand I have been using. It's lighter and seems to blend into my skin better.
Product Info: This product gives the sheer coverage needed to create a natural bare skin finish, while delivering built-in skincare benefits. With four beautifying actions, this all-in-one innovation primes and smoothes, perfects to hide flaws, hydrates all-day, and corrects and evens skin. The product is infused with skincare ingredients like Panthenol, Vitamin E and Glycerin for 24-hour moisturization.
To apply, simply dot on and blend with fingertips. Self-adjusting beads will instantly transform and blend to your skin tone.
L'Oréal Paris Magic BB Cream retails for $10.95 for 1 fl oz. It is available in four shades and is sold at mass food and drug retailers nationwide.

Torani Cheers
I love coffee. Sometimes I think I am addicted to it. I once had to refrain from drinking coffee for 2 days because of a test I had to have at the neurologist's office, and it was torture! The only appliance used more than my Keurig is my Ninja, and I even use that to make coffee drinks. When I was given the opportunity to review Torani syrups, I was excited. I love flavored coffee, but I don't always want the same flavor, so I'd rather buy flavored creamers than flavored coffee.
I had never tried any kind of syrup made for flavoring coffee before participating in this review. I received the Sugar Free Gingerbread and Sugar Free Hazelnut varieties. I tried a little of both of them, and they were tasty, however, I cannot use sugar substitutes because they give me migraines. They definitely didn't go to waste, though, because my mother is diabetic & also loves coffee. When my mom and brother were over for Thanksgiving, I asked them to try the Torani syrups. My mom tried the gingerbread, and my brother tried the Hazelnut. They loved them! My mom took one home and one to work to share with her co-workers.
Check out Torani's website to see the WIDE variety of syrup flavors, and to find some delicious recipes!

Kraft Fresh Take Review
We eat a lot of chicken in my house, so I'm always looking for new ways to make it. I received a coupon for a free Fresh Take Cheese & Breadcrumb mix, and couldn't wait to try it out. I chose the Rosemary & Roasted Garlic, but they also have Southwest Three Cheese and Italian Parmesan. It was so easy to use! The breadcrumbs and cheese come in a ziplock type bag. All you have to do is open the bag and shake to combine them. Next, you can either wet your meat with a little water, or use a beaten egg, and throw the piece of meat in the bag and shake to coat. It's like Shake & Bake, only so much better! My chicken took about 35 minutes to cook in a 375 degree oven, and came out delicious! I will buy this again!
**Disclosure--I received a coupon for a free product through Kraft's First Taste program. I was not obligated to write a blog posting, and all opinions are my own.**

Fresh Produce Clothing Review
Are you looking for comfortable, affordable clothes that can easily be worn to work and then out to dinner with hubby or friends? If your answer is yes, Fresh Produce is the place to shop!
I was given the opportunity to choose anything on the site to review. It was hard to narrow it down to one item, with their wide variety of island clothing and caribbean clothes. I finally decided on the Stroll Dress in Breezy Flower in the truffle color. This is from their spring dress collection. I was surprised at how soft the dress was! It was the perfect length on me, which was also surprising because I'm only 5'1! I normally wear a size small in tops and a size 6/8 in bottoms, so I ordered the small. The dress was a little roomy, but that's great for hiding any imperfections! It's also great for work. I'm a middle school teacher, and can't wear anything too tight or revealing.
This is the dress I selected, from the website:
And here it is on me...sorry about the mess of shoe boxes behind me!
Fresh Produce now ships to over 200 countries, so women outside the US can enjoy the colorful styles too.
**Disclosure: I was sent a product in exchange for this review. However, the opinions written here are my own, and were not influenced by receipt of the product.**

A year later....
My dad has been gone a year, and it has been a rough one. My grandpa passed away in December, one day away from being exactly 8 months to the day of my dad's passing. Our family had to endure going to the same funeral home, the same church and the same cemetery once again. My grandparents bought 2 plots when they bought their own so many years ago..."just in case" someone in the family needed it, so my dad and grandpa are buried next to each other. I think that was the hardest part of my grandpa's funeral...going back to the cemetery and seeing my dad's grave too. We all met back at the cemetery on April 7th, my dad's one year anniversary. We brought some things to decorate the grave, including a blue egg because he loved to decorate Easter eggs, and a chick because he was one of the few people who loved Peeps. We are still saving to get him a headstone. It's going to cost over $2,000, and since he had no life insurance and was diagnosed with cancer & passed away in just 8 months, we didn't have enough money to buy one. We went to a diner to eat after the cemetery. My grandma is such a strong woman. It was hard enough to lose my dad and grandpa, but I can't imagine losing a child and husband.

Staying Safe When Handling Live Poultry
Yes, baby chicks, ducklings and other poultry that appear in farm stores this time of year are as cute as can be. And, yes, children especially love to hold them and even nuzzle them mouth to beak. Unfortunately, that's where the danger begins. The reason? No matter how healthy or clean the baby birds may… Continue Reading
A Mom and a Dairyman Plead: Don't Feed Children Raw Milk
Kylee Young was a healthy two-year-old when she contracted an E. coli infection from drinking raw milk, an illness that caused a stroke and culminated in a kidney transplanted from her mom.
Two years ago, when Oregon parents Jill Brown and Jason Young met Brad and Tricia Salyers, the families had no idea that they would eventually be sharing in a tragedy that sickened four of the Salyers' children and left Brown and Young's youngest child, Kylee – 23 months old at the time – with such… Continue Reading

13 is the number of Archimedian solids.
The fear of the number 13 is called Triskaidekaphobia. A specific fear of Friday the 13th is called Paraskavedekatriaphobia or Friggatriskaidekaphobia.
There is always
at least one Friday 13th in each year.
According to historians, there were 13 people at Christ's Last Supper and Christ was crucified on Friday 13th. So, Friday 13th is considered as unlucky... But thirteen may be considered a 'bad' number simply because it is one more than 12, which is a popularly used number in many cultures (due to it being a highly composite number). When a group of 13 objects is divided into two, three, four or six equal groups, there is always one object leftover.

As many of you may have read in my previous post, "What Drives Me Nuts About Staffing Agencies," my belief is that there's not strong differentiation in the staffing vendor world. Too often sales pitches don't strongly reinforce their key differences in building a business case. Said another way, most firms seem to be focused on business development and not recruiting quality.
That's a broad brush to paint the industry with and there are certainly several very strong local and national firms, but that seems to be the overall client perspective of staffing firms. With that in mind, I recently decided to move out of corporate recruiting and start a recruiting practice (actually two different firms) with an eye to doing things differently.
Our primary business which makes outbound candidate cold calls to licensed professionals, primarily in healthcare. Our second firm is a contingency practice focused on the dental space.
I decided to make the move to: keep reading…

Vegas Confessions
by Slacker and Steve
posted Nov 12 2013 6:00PM
Las Vegas is installing Intellistreet lights: wireless, LED lighting, computer-operated lights that can play music, interact with pedestrians and are equipped with video screens that can display police alerts, weather alerts and traffic information. The high tech lights can also stream live video of activity in the surrounding area. But there's one major concern. These new street lights are also capable of recording video and audio. Some people worry this is another attempt by the government to invade the public's privacy. The head of the Public Works Department claims that the main reason for installing the new lighting system is to develop an experience for the people who go to downtown Las Vegas. Some cities in the UK and Holland already have street lights that can talk and take surveillance video. They also reprimand people for minor offenses like littering.
This got us thinking, if these cameras caught your most outrageous Vegas moment on tape, what would we see?

Dick Sporting Goods Facing Customer Outrage Over Gun BanSubmitted by emalvini on Mon, 12/31/2012 - 14:12
By Todd Starnes
Dick's Sporting Goods customers are threatening a class-action lawsuit after the company allegedly refused to fill gun orders made weeks before the school shooting in Newtown, Conn.
Dick's announced just before Christmas that it was suspended sales of rifles out of respect for the victims of the school shooting. But some customers allege the company is also refusing to honor sales made the day after Thanksgiving.
And thousands have joined a Facebook page calling for a boycott of the company.
"What makes this situation even more frustrating is that I am a law enforcement officer and purchased this rifle specifically to use while on duty," a gun owner told Military Times. "My agency allows us to carry rifles, but cannot afford to issue one to every member."
"It's unacceptable," customer Troy Blackall told CBS 11 News in Dallas.

Email Dick's here... email@example.com
Dear Dick's,
I understand that Dick's has decided to pull all semi-auto rifles from inventory.
Apparently Dick's has decided that law abiding Americans like myself who have never been arrested, not once, can't be trusted anymore.
I am angry.
I pledge not to shop at your store again until the full line of semi-automatic rifles is restored to your shelves.
I am offended and I am sending this response to all people in my contact list as well.
In addition I will be returning all Christmas items purchased at Dicks and demanding a full refund.
I am not a criminal, I hold concealed handgun licenses in two (2) states, and I will not shop where I am treated as a dangerous person.
I hope you all go bankrupt as soon as possible.
this is what i wrote
I usually get my mountain bike repaired at your store in xxxxx, MI. I also buy stuff for my bike there and have bought shoes and things. I'll need to find a store (or several stores as you have a large inventory) to replace you with. While you do not want to sell semi-automatic rifles out of respect for the children of Sandy Hook, I do not want to shop at your stores now. This is out of respect for the millions of gun owners who've shot no one and yet are treated as they have now. I'm not sure which of your customers you think is a mass murderer, but I don't want to deal with someone who could potentially think of me in this way.
The bicycle repairs were great but I must be moving on.
I just returned $125.00 worth of stuff I was going to keep.
I went back to the firearms section and sure enough every semi-auto rifle, even those that are clearly hunting rifles, have been pulled from stock and are no longer on display.
Half of the gun shelves are empty with nothing semi-auto on display.
I will never shop there at Dick's again.
They have decided to treat us all as criminals.
What ban on rifles?
There are two Dick's in my area and I have been to both many times since the CT shootings, but there are still rifles for sale. I don't see AR-15s there anymore, but they're sold out of those everywhere. Did they stop selling only ARs? Or is this policy only in effect in stores in certain parts of the country?
40,000 traffic related deaths per year
Ford and Chevy haven't called it quits out of respect for the deceased.
Store name matches the owners
I don't shop there as they are overpriced anyway, but if I did, I would never go back.
Do they refuse to sell knives or rope "out of respect"...
...when people are stabbed or strangled?
dick's just made my second choice list...
maybe, even third.
can't get it anywhere else? ok, look at dick's...
note to dick's management team, way to screw up a damn good thing your ancestor's handed to you!
its 'cos I owe ya, my young friend...
Rockin' the FREE world in Tennessee since 1957!
9/11 Truth.
Dick's or Pussies? Or Pussy's?
Thought it fit. No offense to the women out there or cats!Haha
Wonder how they are
making money then...subsidized by whom?
The law cannot make a wicked person virtuous…God's grace alone can accomplish such a thing.
Ron Paul - The Revolution
Setting a good example is a far better way to spread ideals than through force of arms. Ron Paul
Sounds like I will be returning every item I bought there
Dick's has a 90-day return policy.
It is time for us to return our merchandise to them if they refuse to sell guns to us.
I am not a criminal and I don't appreciate being treated like one.
How do you know you're not a criminal?
Have you researched every one of over 6 million statues on the books? Are you sure you're in compliance with every one of them?

frugal gourmet
- a
- Analisas mom Apr 30, 2009 10:29 PM
I'm invited to a wine an Gourmet party with the Theme Frugal Gourmet. We are suppose to bring our favorite bottle of wine under $12.00 and then prepare a gourmet dish to serve 30 guest for around $25.00. It can be anything from soup, salad , entree, dessert etc. Any idea's would be great. Remember it needs to be sort of gourmet not just budget.
I think we need more information. What is your favorite wine? Are you supposed to make a dish to go with the wine? How many people will you be cooking for? Is there a theme other than "Frugal Gourmet"? What are other people making? (I can't believe the host didn't assign dishes -- so it's possible you will end up with 10 desserts and no mains?) What is the palate of the people you are cooking for like? Adventurous? Are you comfortable cooking all kinds of food?
With the limited info, and at this time of year, I would probably bring a bottle of Italian Red, and make a pasta dish with roasted peppers and sausage (there's a good recipe in Marcella Hazan's Classic Italian Cooking).
If you provide more info, you will get better responses :-)
Coq au vin another easy but gourmet dish....are you asking for ideas for the food or for the wine? There's a very nice thread on the Wine board about Wines under $15 in case you are interested.
re: Shazza
blah-- not everybody likes curry. i hate it. it's also a trickier dish to pair with wine -- it needs riesling or gewurztraminer, which not everybody likes. i think we need more info from the op, as suggested above.
re: hotoynoodle
30 guests implies a minimum of 15 dishes and 15 bottles of wine. It's highly unlikely that everyone is going to sample every dish and bottle. (They'll suffer unpleasant consequences if they do!) You needn't have been so bluntly dismissive of curry or the wines. Nonethless, details are needed - if the hosts didn't apportion the course responsibilities, the OP should strongly suggest that they do so.
In the fun spirit of the gathering, I suggest you look at some of The Frugal Gourmet (Jeff Smith) cookbooks. He has several, including many homegrown and international flavors, and breads. Breadmaking is not something that happens in the majority of modern, two-career,households, but everyone loves a freshly-made loaf. It would be very inexpensive to make a rolls or a couple of loaves, and maybe some compound butter as an extra fillip.
re: greygarious
sorry, but i really HATE curry. the smell of it would put me off eating anything else in the room. i happen to love the wines i suggested however, so please don't be defensive.
why does 30 people imply 15 dishes to you? that's not how i read the op at all. it says: "prepare a gourmet dish to serve 30 guest for around $25.00. " choice of making soup, salad, entree, dessert. that's it. so make one course, enough to feed 30.
i think your bread suggestion is terrific! :)
re: hotoynoodle
I think grey might have seen it as 30 people = at least 15 couples, where each couple brings a bottle and a dish.
Or at least, that's how I saw it.
re: hotoynoodle
I mentioned a MINIMUM of 15 because the 30 guests might mean 15 couples.
Everyone loathes certain flavors or aromas which other people enjoy. In the interest of full disclosure, my ancestry is Germanic/Nordic. I never tasted Indian cuisine until I was over 40 and now it's one of my favorites. I worked as a mail carrier - when I told co-workers how wonderful I think Indian food is, the typical response was one of disgust. Most of these people delivered mail to apartment buildings where, unfortunately, old cooking smells permeate the hallways. Because the herbs and spices in Indian cuisine are bloomed in hot oil, they aerosolize. In time, the oily component becomes rancid, resulting in a stale odor. I suspect that the variety and complexity of Indian spices makes this more noticeable than in other cooking styles. The maintenance manager of one complex I delivered to complained that they had to replace carpeting in a unit whenever Indian tenants moved out. My explanation that freshly-prepared Indian food has wonderful aromas fell on deaf ears. Many of these folks also harbored anti-immigrant prejudices, so they probably wouldn't have wanted to try the cuisine anyway. Some generations back, these same folks would have disdained lasagna and scampi as the stinky food of the "garlic eaters". Since dislike of a certain dish can easily be assumed to imply dislike of the people originating it, best to express onesself more diplomatically.
Apparently, Annalisa is keeping her mom too busy to fill in the blanks about the party!

i work as a sommelier, graduated culinary school and have worked in hospitality nearly 20 years. i will try nearly anything presented to me and eat most things. last i knew, expressing a dislike for something is permitted on chowhound and not considered a non-pc slur. it's no different than saying somebody hates cauliflower, for heaven's sake.
may i politely suggest not seeking offense when none was offered?
re: hotoynoodle
You're right that expressing a dislike for a particular food is not a slur. But "curry" is not a particular food, and expressing a dislike for it is not like saying you don't like cauliflower. It's more like saying that Italian food is disgusting. It indicates ignorance and closed-mindedness.
First off, there really isn't such a thing as a "curry" in traditional Indian cuisine. It's a word that the British attached to a variety of sauced dishes because they couldn't be bothered to learn about them.
Second, a huge number of dishes are called "curries." And although most or all of them are going to use several traditional Indian spices, they vary so widely that there's really no unifying flavor. And as far as those traditional Indian spices go, they're the same spices that are used all over the world - the most common being pepper, cumin, coriander, cloves, and cinnamon.
Third, India has many distinct culinary traditions. Bengali food is completely different from Gujerati food which is completely different from Punjabi food. And on and on. The spices used, the way they're combined, and their quantities are all different depending on what part of the country you're talking about.
My mother hates curry. So every time I make Indian food when she's around, we all have to be careful to use the proper names for things. She's discovered that she really likes rogan josh, makkhani murghi, saag aloo, and masoor dal. But even though every one of those dishes could be called a "curry," she still insists that she doesn't like curry. So we just don't call it that.
Rissoto is both budget friendly and as gourmet as you want to be. It can be hard to prepare in large quantities, but it is a dish that can be partly prepared ahead of time. I'd steer clear of the more traditional cheese-laden recipes and find a lighter, brothier one that won't congeal between the kitchen and the table. Oddly, even though restaurant rissoto is always done in that lighter style, almost all the recipies I find are cheese bombs! A similar option would be Jambalaya, which has the advantage of usually being finished in the oven instead of on the cooktop.
For a large audience I guess I would prepare two batches and have everything ready for the final steps -- veggies and (optional) meats prepped and sauted, uncooked rice sauteed lightly, ready for the broth. At the party you just heat the broth, warm the rice in a pan, encorporate the broth and either bake it to finish or finish on the stove, depending on the recipe. With the right kitchen equipment you could do a single batch, but in my kitchen I'd want to double down for large amounts since it has to cook pretty quickly at the end or else it can turn into a gummy starch soup. Garnish with some fresh herbs. Simple, cheap, delicious.
re: BernalKC
We don't know what cooking facilities there will be. If even half of the guests needed to make last minute touches like this to their dishes, they could tie up the stove, oven, etc.
Visually beautiful asparagus dish. ..if asparagus is inexpensive and in season I copied this from a friend. Lightly steam or microwave a large heap of trimmed asparagus. Chilll in a ziplock bag to keep the aspargus moist. Arrange in a generous decorative bunch on a platter. Pour the eye catching topping over the middle so it heaps and the olive oil puddles around the asparagus. I need to take a photo. Its an eye catching dish.
The topping is made from plenty of chopped red roasted peppers, capers, chopped egg white, a little chopped green onion. You can include a few of the egg yolks. The secret ingredient is chopped dill pickles. Keep chopping and mixing until you have plenty and its looks festive and pretty with plenty of the bright red color as a contrast to the asparagus. Add a cup or more of olive oil. You can assemble it when you get there. Serve with tongs and a spoon.
re: Rhee
while i love asparagus, it's notorious for being a wine killer. it contains a sulfur compound called methyl mercaptan which can make wine seem unpleasantly vegetal. it does pair nicely with the wines i mentioned above, like a traminer or riesling, but is a disaster with a heavily oaked white or most reds. (the vinegar in your capers and pickles, along with the eggs, also make this a tricky dish to pair)
i'm hoping we get more insight from the op. if the hosts give a framework, we can provide menu options plus much more felicitous wine pairings.
My favorite inexpensive wines these days are reds from the Cotes du Rhone. Ogier is a negociant in Chateauneuf-du-Pape that bottles some great bargains. At $12, though, you have tons of options.
For a main dish, maybe a stuffed braised breast of lamb? I bought one yesterday for $1 per pound or so. If you'd prefer something less fussy, a daube would work as well. Again, I like lamb because it seems to be very reasonably priced right now, and using a cheap cut like the shoulder will keep you under budget.
I don't need suggestions on wine. I have that covered. to clarify the original question. We have a wine & Gourmet club and we have all been doing this together for about 9 years. every 3 months we all get together and we always have a different theme. We cook our meals in our own homes and take the dish so it's pot luck. This party theme is the frugal gourmet with the enviroment the country is in at the moment we thought it would be a fun theme.It is usually way more upscale and fufu. So there will be about 20 couples and so we'll end up with about 20 dishes. and about 40 bottles of wine. We don't assign dishes to people everybody just brings what they want but it always works out where we have enough of everything. So my question was idea's for things to feed about 30 guest ( as everyone will not try everything) for around $25-30 bucks. can be appitizer side main dessert no bread. Not only does it need to be budget but also a little gourmet. So thats my question hope that helps. I am still not sure what I am making so would love some more creative ideas.
re: Analisas mom
With the theme "frugal gourmet," I'd try to do something local and in season. I just saw some fresh asparagus at my market. For a simple but lovely appetizer, which you could do under your budget and still have it be "fufu," I'd probably do seasonal asparagus, lightly steamed, chilled, and wrapped with prosciutto.
Otherwise, you might want to hit up your local farmer's market and see what is in season. Spring can bring fiddlehead ferns, artichokes, asparagus, and other delicate spring greens, which probably would lead you in the direction of an appetizer, veggie side dish or salad.
Have you decided yet? What about soup as shooters or in small mugs, even demitasse cups. My first thoughts are asparagus or pea because of the season. Frozen petit pois are a very acceptable alternative to shelling fresh peas, plus you know they were frozen quickly after harvesting. In either case, if you use a ham bone or hock to make stock, it really adds wonderful flavor. I was going to suggest a shrimp or a bit of crab on each serving, but that would put you over budget. So how about making swizzle sticks out of bacon. Cut the bacon lengthwise before cooking, and depending on the size of your glasses or mugs, you might be able to cut them in half widthwise as well, stretching your purchase. If you use demitasse cups, maybe just a few sprinkles of chopped bacon or crisped prosciutto on top. If you serve it more room temp or even cool, a drizzle of yoghurt on top.
re: nemo
I have a couple of Ideas I;m still waiting to see what others are doing so I can sort of fill in the gaps as I am one of the host. I am thinking of doing a sweet potato salad with fresh pineapple and coconut, another thought is deviled quail eggs with a tiny bit of caviar on each,or since I have beautiful herb garden that is producing wonderful sage at the moment I may do a gnocchi with a carmelized sage butter sauce. The other thought is to do a dessert with homemade pastry crust and fresh strawberries and whip cream.. I should be able to pick up a case of berries fairly cheap at our local farmers market at this time of year. One other thought is a watermelon and feta salad. I have yet to try this combo but I have seen several recipes and it sounds really nice for Spring time.
re: Analisas mom
watermelon and feta is a great combo. i add black olives and mint. it's packed with flavor but very light and clean.

Joe Francis Going Crazy, Pleading Guiltyby Mischalova at . Comments
You'd think that seeing Tara Reid nude would prepare you for anything.
Apparently, though, prison is worse for Joe Francis.
TMZ reports that the guy that offered Antonella Barba a lot of money to sell his product has far more worries at the moment than whether or not she'll accept. He's cell mates with a cop killer that won't stop harassing him.
Day and night, this murderer is reportedly taunting: Girls Gone Wild! Joe Francis! Whoo! Yes, that's the most creative chant he can think of.
But it's enough to cause "full-blown anxiety" attacks in Francis, sources say. Just imagine if inmates rubbed in his face how they'd also seen Kim Kardashian nude via her sex tape. It might be enough to drive Francis to suicide.
Meanwhile, Joe has just pleaded guilty to one count of criminal contempt, and is still facing more than three weeks of hard time in the Florida jail.
Other charges may still be brought, as well. Let's just say the fashion future of Britney Spears looks brighter than anything down the line for Francis.
he is telling the truth of what has happened to him but I hope he has figured out how big the corruption stems and the length these people will go when they have a vendetta against and it is worse when you figure out what they are doing to you sounds crazy huh?but when you have the facts you will be shocked

During the 19th century, "The Star-Spangled Banner" became one of the nation's best-loved patriotic songs. It gained special significance during the Civil War, a time when many Americans turned to music to express their feelings for the flag and the ideals and values it represented. By the 1890s, the military had adopted the song for ceremonial purposes, requiring it to be played at the raising and lowering of the colors. Despite its widespread popularity, "The Star-Spangled Banner" did not become the National Anthem until 1931.
Star-Spangled Banner officially become the United States's national anthem in 1931
