A visitor with four paws and a waggy tail has been helping children improve their reading skills.
An 11-year-old greyhound, from Llay, near Wrexham, popped into Hawarden High School in Flintshire as part of the Read to Dogs scheme, aimed at boosting youngsters' confidence in literacy.
The wiry pooch, who has the unusually formal name of Adam Lewis, was said to have "listened intently" as stories were read aloud by pupils.
Read to Dogs sees four-legged visitors at schools up and down the country.
Advocates said it is proving a highly successful tool in upping literacy standards among low-confidence readers.
The presence of the animals creates a calm and relaxed environment for the youngsters to flourish, organisers said.
Adam belongs to Sharon Lewis, fundraising co-ordinator for Greyhound Rescue Wales' (GRW) northern region.
Mrs Lewis, 48, said: "I have a friend, Beth Richardson, who is a teacher at Hawarden High School.
"She asked me if Adam would be OK to come in for a session and it went very well.
"There were about five or six children taking part.
"They read out passages individually. Adam loved it and it helped give the children confidence in their reading."
o The GRW will hold a fun dog show packed full of activities tomorrow.
The event will take place at Alyn Waters Country Park, Mold Road, Gwersyllt, and is open to all breeds and their owners.
Mrs Lewis said: "There is no pre-registration and entry to each class is £1. There will be 10 classes in all, plus the best in show. Judging starts at noon.
"There will be lots of charities at the event, including Dogs Trust, who will be offering free micro-chipping on the day.
"The Guide Dogs for the Blind will also be attending, together with the PDSA and many other well-known charities and organisations. There will also be face painting for the children and much, much more.
"We will have a local dog obedience team coming along to perform a display."
"If anyone needs more information about the event they are able to contact me on 07599406198."

Ten epic Windows 7 pranks you absolutely must try
Summary: Ready to get your prank on? This isn't your average, run-of-the-mill Windows prank list, so pull up a chair and stay a while! There's plenty to learn here and lots of laughter to be had by you at your victim's expense!
1 of 12Image
This is hands-down one of the easiest, most mind-boggling pranks to pull on almost anyone. As such -- and because I'm going to reference it for a later prank or two on the list -- this is where we begin our journey. There are two ways you can make this happen:
Method 1: This is the fastest way to do this trick, but sadly, it doesn't work on all computers. All you do is press CTRL, ALT, and the down arrow. That's it! To reverse the effect, simply press CTRL, ALT, and the up arrow.
Method 2: Right-click on the desktop, select "Screen resolution," then, in the dropbox next to the "Orientation" label, select "Landscape (flipped)."
The result of this alone is usually enough to thoroughly confuse your victim, so give it a whirl soon and see what kind of reactions you get!

If you know what a Dvorak keyboard is, then you know where this is going. If you don't, then all you need to know is it was a completely different keyboard with a totally different layout and Windows has in-built support for it. Enable that support, and anyone using a standard keyboard will quickly become frustrated when what they type isn't what shows up on the screen. Easy to enable but impossible for most to figure out, here's what you need to do to get this party started:
1 - Click the Start button.
2 - Click "Control Panel."
3 - Click on either "Clock, Language, and Region" or "Region and Language," depending on if you have your control panel items sorted by categories or icons.
4 - Click the "Keyboards and Languages" tab.
5 - Click the "Change keyboards..." button.
6 - Click the "Add..." button.
7 - Click on "English (United States)," then "Keyboard," and finally, "United States-Dvorak."

The creative chemistry of four brilliant artists – drummer John Densmore, guitarist Robby Kreiger, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and singer Jim Morrison – made The Doors one of America's most iconic and influential rock bands. When You're Strange is the first feature documentary to tell their story. Using footage shot between their formation in 1965 and Morrison's death in 1971, it follows the band from the corridors of UCLA's film school, where Manzarek and Morrison met, to the stages of sold-out arenas.

Digesting the Budget: First-belch reactions
Responding to George Osborne's Budget, Labour leader Ed Miliband said growth is down, employment is down and living standards are falling. He accused Osborne's second Budget of building on the failure of his first. He said the coalition strategy of cuts was undermining the economic recovery. Stock markets were mostly unmoved by …
IR35 - A new Helpline... oooooh... same ol' same ol'
2.203 IR35 – Following the publication of the OTS review of small business tax, the
Government commits to making clear improvements in the way IR35 is administered. These
improvements will include setting up a dedicated helpline staffed by specialists, publishing
guidance on those types of cases HMRC view as outside the scope of IR35, targeting compliance
activity by restricting reviews to high risk cases and setting up an IR35 Forum which will monitor
HMRC's new approach. The Government has decided to retain IR35, as abolition would put
substantial revenue at risk.
One thing I noticed
One thing I noticed in what is a fairly insignificant attempt at a first "full" budget was that he's continued a practice first introduced by Brown. That is to say promising a significant improvement in some area or another, but deferring it by twelve months or more. This achieves three things from the Chancellor's POV; firstly it makes this year's budget look good even though the change should really be in next year's budget; secodnly he can announce it again as an improvement in next year's budget for people with short memories; and finally he has twelve months to think of an excuse to reverse the decision.
We need legislation to restrict the budget statement only to changes which will take effect in the coming twelve months.
Good point, but
Isn't one of the main problems with goverments in general is the short term view they all take?
What is really needed is to layout a 10 year ,20 year or even longer term plan. The problem being that all they really look at is how to get elected again next time out.
"What is really needed is to layout a 10 year ,20 year or even longer term plan"
It is quite literally impossible to make a realistic economic plan of that range, simply because things change. Take for instance growth forecasts which are now different than they were six months ago.
Had we made a 20 year plan based on the information we had just six months ago, it would now be broken.
not really
Well yes an no, its impossible to tell whats going to happen in 20 years, so yes you cant say income tax will be x NI will be X and so on, but what you could and should do is say, right, the NHS is a leach on country and needs scrapped whilst forcing everyone to take out insurace and putting in place a state funded clause for those unable to pay, 20 year time line, lets go
Of course thats never going to happen because in 5 years your up for re-election
This whole stupid situation is a direct result of
A, too big a public sector
B, not making enough of anything in the private sector
C, stupid tax system that is in place to pay for (A) by taking money out of the private sector which is partially the reason for (B)
D Politictions promising the electorate everything under the sun for free so that they can get in to power, there by making Many people in the country feel they should have everything for nothing, which in turn means the next govenment has to "promise" more, which means they need to increase (C)
ok thats fairly simple way of looking at it but that is basically it, this has nothing to do with current state of the world and everything to do with succesive govenments over the last 100 years an a couple of world wars.
Doesn't have to be the economy.
Take immigration, for example. A government could say "We want the country to have 50 million people in it by the end of the 21st century", and limit permanent inward migration to 50,000 per year for the lifetime of its parliament. It would be up to following governments to keep to the policy if they chose to, but certainly some indication of long-term planning wouldn't go amiss.
Other examples might include long-term plans infrastructure development or a clear vision of the role and purpose of education.
Even some indication of thought beyond the most primitive cerebral activity would be nice from most of our MPs.
Maybe they only changed because there is no plan past 6 months?
...logical fallacy there involving healthcare and the profit motive
"...the NHS is a leach on country and needs scrapped..."
Good idea, you better hope you never need a transplant then
reply to: Good point, but
Well, I think that is what the civil servants are there for really. It is there role.
Not all policy is prepared by Government. I'd guess that most of it is drafted by civil servants.
On top of that there are "ratifying roles" on Government ministers.
So, I suppose, that while Governments do indeed have to take a short term view or policy decisions based on expected term of office UK civil servants can and probably have to cater for the future.
For example: Army, Navy and Air Force don't cease to exist when there is an elected change of government?
what you could and should do is say, right, the NHS is a leach on country and needs scrapped whilst forcing everyone to take out insurace and putting in place a state funded clause for those unable to pay
You could say that. You'd be a tool though.
argument fail
Hey, ill pay insurance and and keep myself happy thanks, but why the hell should i have to pay money in the form of tax to give you a transplant UNLESS your unable to pay for insurance, likewise, why should i have to pay tax to pay for doctors pay rises above inflation when other NHS staff are on a pay freeze
Im not going in to detail but this is basically a working model, if i have a problem today i can go to some places within Europe get seen and treated in the same day, then ironically change some of it back to the NHS
Im sorry, but the NHS is a monolithic monumental organization that is wasteing our money left right and centre. If the NHS was a private company it would have been liqudated long ago for missmanagment
Working model
you menan like they have in the states, where the insurance companies all get together and screw the people, and use some of their ill gotten to bribe the govt. to never change things.
meanwhile 50 MILLION people in the worlds richest country have NO medical cover. There people can only get treated at emergeny rooms - A&E - which means all A&E systems are clogged with a continual stream of people who have become 'emergencies' because of the system, rather than the illness.
oh, and those expensive, overworked ER's are payed for....... by the people who DO have insurance.
to summarise:
insured medicine costs more.
insured medicine excludes vast numbers of people
insured medicine guarantees increased waiting times in ER/A&E
insured medicine ends up charing the policy holders (with uplift - and then some) for the inadequate ER anyway.
oh and PS - you got cancer/chronic heart disease/diabetes/MS/any of the major psychiatric labels/downs/haeomphillia - basically anything serious with a more than 5% chance of re-admittal. then you cant get cover - at any price.
i think your master(bater) plan needs a little more work you selfish opinionated moron
The very same
This wouldn't be the same American health system which relies on drug users and alchoholics to supply blood which causes no end of health issues, nor would it be the same American health system which has to rely on BRITISH doctors flying over to sports centres and halls in (oddly enough) the black areas to offer them basic medical aid when the same doctors should be really going over to Africa.
We do pay insurance on the NHS. This is the National Insurance. However, it's not the policy holders' fault that the insurance company, i.e. HM Govt., is squandering the funds elsewhere.
The likes of Aneurin Bevan and the good forefathers of Tredegar must be turning in their graves.
If we really wished to get rid of the leeches on the British economy then simply scrap Trident and make a rule on the changing room doors saying "No more than one war at one time, gentlemen."
Er, no
Im talking about the 30 odd health systems above the states largely based in Europe, many of which are considered better than the NHS
Listen mate, you can start calling me names, which is quite imature, but the fact remains, the NHS is good idea that will never work, as for being selfish, i dont claim anything from the govenment, i dont earn a lot of money but i make do with what i have, if i get ill id rather pay for it, likewise why should you pay for something that i need? you shouldnt, this country is full of people expecting everything for nothing, but it all costs money, please tell me, what would you do, the NHS is a massive organization, that will need to increase its funding every year as the population grows, not only this but people are living longer, tell me, where does all this money come from? it comes from all of us in the form of tax, the problem is when people get to a certain age they stop working and stop adding to the tax system, if you keep adding people to the population all of whom live longer, and by-n-large use a disproportionate amount of NHS services something is going to give!
Why do you think the govenment has had to put back retirerment age? because it cant afford the pensions defict because we are all living longer, so you have to work longer to keep the funding available.
Look i like the idea, i hate the way its managed but it will not work in the long run.
Harsh, but fair!
LMAO, though :-)
<- Isnt that what Beaker looked like?
"Danny Alexander...
> assured the BBC that the extra tax on oil extraction would not be countered by oil companies simply putting up prices at the pump"

"Labour leader Ed Miliband said growth is down, employment is down and living standards are falling."
Remind me again who has been minding the store for the last decade?
How you know it's working...
You can tell Labour isn't in power by how we didn't get a tonne of new made up taxes in the budget and council tax is actually going down.
And you know you know it isn't when even the Daily Mail don't agree with you
"That will make it the first year since the tax was introduced in 1993 that it has not risen.
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1369112/Budget-2011-Council-tax-frozen-time-18-years.html#ixzz1HSOCH91p"
No mention of the £100m going into "Science"
£10m of it going into "Space," whatever that means.
Does that mean BAe profits have been looking down lately and the Chairman wants a bit of a sub?
As for "Reforming the Space Act 1986"
WTF knew the UK *had* a space act to reform? AFAIK the UN is *still* incapable of recognizing that entities *smaller* than a country (SpaceX being the first, but I hope *not* the last) can now launch orbital hardware and I think it's well overdue that fact was recognized.
I'd like to see a bit of analysis on this with ElReg being a tech site and stuff.
A quick goog search turns up:
Which is as clear as mud but hey, at least there is a law for/against/restricting it, whatever it is :)
CBI, pah!
CBI, "Ooh managers and business are great! Employees are bad people always on the cadge for more money, more holidays and nicking the stationary when the managers aren't looking!"
Almost, but not quite.
Of course, it would be more difficult for employees to steal things that are moving. Fortunately, the stationery is, indeed, most often stationary.
And you know you know it isn't when even the Daily Mail don't agree with you
"That will make it the first year since the tax was introduced in 1993 that it has not risen."

Tax and more tax
What sickens me is that no matter how much each and every successive government promises tax cuts and breaks for low income families, those such acts or promises never ever seem to come to fruition.
I've seen low income families fall apart, to such extent were the husband has to "Fake" walking out on his wife and kids so the wife can go and claim single parent benefits such as, housing / council tax payments, social security and JSA while the so called husband is staying at a friends house no more than 2 miles away working and brining in £400-£500 per week which he's giving to his "wife" to spend on the kids and stuff....
I don't agree with such actions, but if they powers that be don't start helping businesses generate more actual jobs for Brits (not racist in intent). Then I can see more and more families faking a split and shitting all over the system just to survive.
look, this is it....
and thats my pont, people believe they are due something for nothing, people want lower taxes but want more credits and freebies, im not blaming this govenment or the previous one, but every govenment for the last 60 odd years has been buying votes with freebies, but all that costs money which is taken out of the private sector, which reduces the private sector and there by reduces income, meanwhile the public sector is increasing in size and sucking more money out,
This deficit you keep hearing isnt our countrys debt, its the amount added to our debt every year, fill up your kitchen sink with water, and drop a egg cup more in to it,
that is what the deficit /added to debt looks like
It Is something like 4 or 5 Trillion pounds total debt including pensions and what not
£4,000,000,000,000.00 - £5,000,000,000,000.00
So lets assume that they do make 20Billion worth of saveings, our debt is still going to go up because we would still be borrowing 140billion a year, its not hard to imagin
if you take out a loan for £40,000, then add up your income, take away all your bills including the intrest on that loan, you will be overdrawn by £1,600 each and every year
no person would be daft enough to keep that up, so you would have to cut back on your bills, or increase your income, increasing income means tax which will actual hurts the amount of tax you would get (im saving money on petrol because its to expencive to buy so im not buying any petrol, ie no tax at all) or reducing our bills, which means no more freebies and reckless waste
forward thinking
Maybe they should have worked out if they could afford to have children, before doing so. Don't expect the world to fund a lifestyle choice you've made. The worst part is the way the system rewards people for having children they can't support to the point where it encourages more children.
Ed Miliband
"Responding to George Osborne's Budget, Labour leader Ed Miliband said growth is down, employment is down and living standards are falling."
Well I'm afraid Ed old boy that you cannot have higher standards of living if they rely on an ever increasing public and private debt bubble - sooner or later you must pay the ferryman.
If it were just the ferryman...
...I don't think it'd be such a problem. Wasn't his going rate 2p?
Mind you, the return fare was the killer. Geddit?
influenced by too much editing
watching the jeremy kyle show that is Jamie's Dream School... those kids are the legacy of multiple governments' (and 3rd generation welfare addiction) failings. My feet wouldn't have touched the ground at prep school if I talked like that to a teacher. 6 of the slipper, 6 of the cane, expulsion.
- Simples.
Whilst teaching college is a viable alternative to Art college and class sizes remain so high, we will never catch up with China and India. It is my fear we will only regret this once we can't even catch up with Vietnam. The only budget I want to hear is a refusal to pay the EU any more cash, and the sound of a ripped up human rights act... then health & safety red-tape and insurance companies and their lawyers can be sent to Libya to learn the error of their ways.

and the IT angle

no change to IR35
Then a pox on all you politicians!
When companies spend on IT they often bring in contractors or consultants and whatever your personal opinion of them, they are temporary staff who save more than they cost if you had to get the same person full time.
Maybe that is why so many companies in the private sector manage to *deliver* IT projects for less than the 12 billion wasted on the NHS system?
This country does not encourage anyone who wants to succeed and do more than just be a moaning worker drone in the public sector.
You mean the NHS IT project which employed Accenture et al
That is all.
Sorry, but I've never been able to take Miliband seriously since his alter-ego Mr Milibean appeared in Private Eye.

I don't remember

It's pretty well documented in the beginning of your blog.

I know exactly what you mean, Katie. It doesn't help much to know your feelings are completely normal, but they are. It's natural for it to fade, and it's natural for you to not want it to. (I don't know if I like those words "normal" and "natural"... but you know what I mean. It's all ok.) Write down your memories; capture them however you can. Talk about Brenham as much as you need to. He is a part of you both and he will never be forgotten!
- August 25, 2008 at 7:54 AM
Hang in there Katie! Reread your
1st or 2nd blogs when you told about Brenham's birth.
- August 25, 2008 at 8:32 AM
- Katie said...
yeah, but there is so much more to his story than that. i want to remember EVERY detail and that is just a summary.
- August 25, 2008 at 8:40 AM
Yes, Katie is talking about the difference between being somewhere and reading about it. No matter how many details are included in the text, actually being there has infinitely more details to take in. It's this "there in real life" detail that Katie's talking about forgetting. And it's the essence of Brenham's actual presence (as opposed to his story) that we're talking about here.... :) So, yeah... it's a huge difference.
- August 25, 2008 at 9:16 AM
I love you Katie! I don't know what to say...
- August 25, 2008 at 10:07 AM
I am so sorry Katie. Hang in there. We still think and pray for you often.
- August 25, 2008 at 10:21 AM
I'M PRAYING FOR YOU. Try and keep notes about what you remember and then put it on video. You can keep adding to it as you remember.

I also know exactly how you feel and my story is so much more recent than yours. I have started writing down every detail from the minute everything happened- good, bad, happy and sad. I write about the facial expressions I remember and the smells and the sounds- it all comes back to me when I think of those things. Know that I feel your heartache and I am praying for you.

Russian Cabbage Soup
- operagirl Dec 29, 2006 07:50 PM
Does anyone have a recipe for that sweet/sour, tomato-based Russian cabbage soup? I know it's sometimes made with sauerkraut, sometimes without, and often includes stew meat cut into small cubes.
I had a bowl of this at Max's Opera Cafe the other day, and I would love to be able to make it at home. They used brisket instead of stew meat, and I know there were carrots and tomato-based products involved, but beyond that I'm clueless! Please help!
My family ethnic heritage is Hungarian Jewish, but here is a recipe for a sweet/sour cabbage soup:
3-4 lbs. beef short ribs
2 T olive oil
2 T beef base
28 oz. can diced tomatoes with juice
3 T brown sugar
2 large onions, chopped
salt & pepper
1 large cabbage, cut in quarters, cored, and finely sliced
1/3 cup white wine vinegar
4 qt. water
Brown short ribs in olive oil till well carmelized in 8 qt. soup pot. Remove, reserve for later. In same pot, cook onions till carmelized (15-20 min). Return short ribs, add cabbage and cook till cabbage is "sweated", or starting to turn translucent. Add tomatoes, beef base, sugar, vinegar, salt & pepper and cover with 4 qt. cold water. Bring to a boil, then turn heat to simmer and cook for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Taste when finished and adjust seasoning, perhaps more s/p, sugar, or vinegar. Let pot sit overnight in fridge when cooled, then you can easily remove any fat. Remove short ribs and shred or dice meat in small pieces, return meat (not bones) to pot. This improves with age, can be kept a week or fridge (not in original pot) or frozen for several months.
You mentioned carrots, I have never added carrots, but I suppose you could add 3-4 scraped, chopped carrots when you sweat other vegetables. If you do this, please report how it turned out. Enjoy!
re: Diane in Bexley
I forgot to mention that if you add some meatballs made with ground beef, rice & eggs to this soup, you get a "mock" stuffed cabbage dish.
re: Diane in Bexley
I am anxious to taste this soup, it looks so delicious and satisying, and so different! I am such a huge fan of soup, thanks for the recipe!
re: Diane in Bexley
This recipe inspired me to finally make a sweet and sour cabbage soup. I didn't have short ribs or beef on hand, but I had a can of consomme, a cabbage, tomatoes, brown sugar & white wine vinegar, so I decided to give it a try. Also added 2 carrots, a stalk of celery, some sweet paprika, thyme, caraway & dill. Turned out great, look forward to trying your family's version when I pick up some beef short ribs!
re: Diane in Bexley
I always use 4 GOOD sized carrots, scraped, and sliced 1/2". Imparts additional sweetness and taste. Must cook till tender. I dont like to sweat the carrots with the onions. Also, a BAY LEAF adds an additional layer of flavor. I don't use wine vinegar. Just plain old 5% cheap vinegar works.
My wife and my grown children's favorite soup
Here's a similar recipe that my family loves. I'm big on soup, and really try to avoid pre-made ingredients, but the chili sauce and the ginger ale really do add a nice twist to this soup. It was hard for me to try this one, but once I did, it quickly became a favorite. http://www.recipesonrails.com/recipes...
BTW, it looks like I confused some pictures. There's clearly leeks in the 2nd picture. That was probably a stock picture and not from the cabbage soup, not that you couldn't add leeks too :)
I think you mean щи, which is usually transliterated "schi." There were lots of results when I Googled this, some of which sounded like what you'd had. (There are a few varieties of schi.)
Alright, so I made a batch of what I now know is schi, and it was delicious! I just threw ingredients into a pot and let it simmer. Didn't even sauté the onions in oil or brown the meat, so the recipe was very healthy! You could make it less salty by using "no salt added" diced tomatoes, and/or using less broth and more water.
2 pounds of brisket, cut in 1" cubes
1 large onion, in large dice
2 carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
1 medium green cabbage, chopped into 1" square pieces
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
2 cans beef broth + 1 can water
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/2 cup ketchup
1 bay leaf
Simmer until the brisket is tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Also, like a lot of soups, this recipe tastes even better the next day.
To be authentic, in Russia, schi typically does not include tomatoes or tomato sauce. There is a version called kisliye schi (sour schi) made with sauerkraut. Also, you would not see sugar added to the soup. I have seen pieces of fresh tomatoes added, however, generally schi is considered to be a winter soup and tomatoes were not available. I suspect that sugar and tomatoes were an American adaptation.
I think you might be thinking of the Polish bigos.
Soupsong.com has a good recipe:
re: frenetica
Nah that's not quite right -- the soup I first had at Max's used brisket, not ham. This one's closer to what I made. Includes tomatoes as well:
I wasn't so much concerned with being "authentic" as approximating the soup I ate in the restaurant, and I have to say that what I came up with was very very close. Thank you for your replies, though! I've definitely learned a lot!
re: operagirl
Just remember the ultimate finishing touch from the Max's recipe: sliced green grapes. And I remember they shred the cabbage very finely. Oh g-d that sounds good right now, with some steamed potatoes and dill and sour cream.....
Hi! Just wondering if you ever found a recipe similar to the Russian Soup from Max's Cafe. I live in the Boston area and went to San Francisco twice in the past three years. I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Burlingame and went to Max's for dinner. I ordered the Russian Soup and I fell in love. I had it every day for a week the first time in the area and when I was there in 2007 I had it again, everyday and found a Max's Cafe takeout at the S.F. Airport and took the soup on the plane. I will not be back to CA. for a while but I want to make the soup and I would like it to be as close to Max's recipe as possible. Also, do you know if they use stew beef or brisket? Thanks!
re: zoceangirl
Hi there! Sorry for replying sooo late . . . but I made Diane in Bexley's recipe, except I used brisket instead of short ribs, as I think this is what Max's uses. It was delicious, and very similar to what they offer. Mm.
re: operagirl
Just in case you want to try more variations (or if you just like Eastern European flavours), I will copy and paste my post from this thread:
"If you have cabbage and stock, I'd say your best best is to make щи (schi). That might even be what your mother called "cabbage borscht."
I've made the version in Anya von Bremzen's "Please to the Table" and the version in Darra Goldstein's "A Taste Of Russia." Both are very good.
You can also find recipes online for regular щи and кислый щи (sour schi, sometimes called green schi), which gets a lemony tartness from sorrel (http://www.ruscuisine.com/cooking-rec...).
I can't vouch for any of the recipes you'll find online, but I am sure there are some good ones out there!
Here are some schi recipes (most contain beef, often brisket specifically, to make the broth richer, but you're already close with chicken stock, so it's your call):
You can also check out the soups sections here:
http://www.ruscuisine.com/cooking-rec... - check out #7
http://www.russianlife.com/storindx.cfm - search departments by "cuisine"
As you can see, there's a lot of searching around involved- I've found this to be the case when searching for Russian recipes. I lived in Russia for a while, and ever since I've been on the hunt for recipes for the Russian foods that I miss now that I'm back in the states. I highly recommend getting a hold of the two cookbooks I mentioned above if you're interested in doing more Russian cooking- it makes life so much easier!"
I know this is a reply to a really old post, but if you mean Max's in nothern California-the one I went to is in Redwood City-I went every chance I got to have the cabbage soup-just loved it. One night, our waitress brought us the list of ingredients for it. Come to find out, restaurants must make the list of ingredients available on request for reasons related to allergies. We loved that oddly spicey soup. Anyway, it was a long long list of things, and a very odd combo-I would never have guessed most of them. The ONLY thing that comes to mind right now is golden raisins-I know it's weird, but it WAS on the list, tho I never saw any raisins in the soup. This was a couple of years ago. If you go back, maybe you could ask the waiter/waitress quietly for the list...and leave a nice tip since they could potentiallly get in trouble. .
re: onewally
I know too this is an old post, but a great addition is ....Ginger snap cookies, added and dissolved into soup , The Raisins mentioned "golden" are more common in a sweet n sour stuffed cabbage, but could be added for sweetness, I think the brwn sugar does enough though.
re: Perilagu Khan
I am pleased to see that someone else has done this (I'd have related it to a '37 Packard but that is just me). Now you gotta try selyanka mysnaya. You'll thank me someday.
Does anyone have a good family recipe for vegetarian schi (the kind of schi the Russian Orthodox might eat during Lent or Advent)?
I did notice this recipe listed above, http://www.soupsong.com/rshchi.html , which uses either beef or vegetable broth, but was curious if anyone had any other good recipes.
I realize I could also just leave the meat out of meat-inclusive schis, but if anyone has a recipe they like, please share!
My mother was from Minsk. This is her recipe
Brisket,about 2 lbs,fat removed
1 Large cabbage,shredde2 Large onions,chopped
1 can(28 or 35 oz) tomatoes,crushed in your hand. I use Pastene brand
sour salt-citric acid
1 Tbsp oil
Brown brisket in oil in large Dutch oven,add onions and saute til clear. Add cabbage,tomatoes and water to cover Simmer til cabbage is well cooked and brisket is starting to come apart-2 or more hours. Add salt,sugar and sour salt til flavored to your taste. Eat with black bread and beer
You can substitute chopped raisins for sugar,lemon juice and/or vinegar for sour salt,as per my friends mother,who was from west of Minsk
re: zaydex5
Classic. Perfect. You can play with this, but it really can't be improved upon. Love the black bread and beer advice, too: is there any other way? Especially if that bread is dense, and sour, with a good schmear of decent unsalted butter? Aargh. Don't get me started.
re: mamachef
Butter? You need duck, goose or pig fat!
I didn't mention this earlier, operagirl, but Max's is pretty mellow when it comes to giving out ingredients, if not recipes proper. You may get something designed to serve 400, but I know you can scale that back, and freeze the rest. I'd call corporate offices, or even your local Max's, and just ask. It helps it you inject just the teensiest beggy voice you have.

The 31 things we're looking forward to this summer
Surviving the worst winter ever means we'll have the best summer ever. That's just math. Here are the 31 things we can't wait to do from late May to Labor Day.
Tue Apr 15 2014
CommentsAdd +
Chicagoans, we have suffered the worst winter in history. And, save for a handful of above-60-degree days, spring has been fairly rude as well. The only remedy: making this the best summer ever. Do not spend a minute inside if you can help it. Only eat at restaurants and bars that have outdoor spaces. Go to every summer music festival. And when you need a break from the sun's rays, head to one of the many cool museum exhibits opening from May–September. Summer is coming—we promise—so start filling out your summer to-do list using our picks as a guide.
RECOMMENDED: Best things to do in the summer in Chicago
Opening of Thalia Hall, May 21
- Price band: 2/4
Chicago's newest music venue will open its doors on May 21, when Panda Bear plays the first show to be held in the newly refurbished Pilsen concert hall. Thalia Hall shares the same building as Dusek's Board & Beer and Punch House, but the ornate stage has been closed to the public since the 1960s. The venue is being booked by the Empty Bottle and Evanston's SPACE, and will host acts like GOAT and Camera Obscura this summer.—Zach Long
- 1807 S Allport St
The Normal Heart on HBO, premieres May 25
The star-studded screen adaptation of the play about the rise of the AIDS crisis in the early '80s will likely be raking in the Emmys next fall. While the participation of Ryan Murphy and Julia Roberts gives us some bad Eat Pray Love flashbacks, the rest of film's cast is an impressive combination of movie, TV and stage stars, including Joe Mantello and Jim Parsons, who both appeared in the 2011 Tony-winning revival.—Jessica Johnson
Watch Dogs video game, available May 27
If you still want to roam around the city on a rainy day, you could just check out Ubisoft's new Chicago-set game. You'll be able to take a jog down State Street or hop on an El car while running from cops and bad guys as super-hacker Aiden Pearce in a "hyper-connected" fictional version of the Windy City.—JJ
Boltwood in Evanston, opening late May
We just ate and drank our way through Evanston and can't wait to head back up there this summer and check out Boltwood, the new collaboration between Evanstonians Brian Huston (pictured), who ran the Publican's kitchen until he left to open this spot, and John Kim of the Brothers K Coffeehouse. Huston says the cuisine will be similar to the Publican's and it's slated to open in late May at 804 Davis Street.—Amy Cavanaugh
Xoco in Wicker Park, June
Another place to get Rick Bayless's tortas this summer? Yes, please. The new location will be bigger and will offer table service. 1471 N Milwaukee Ave.—AC
Halt and Catch Fire on AMC, premieres Jun 1
Breaking Bad is gone and Mad Men has one foot out the door, leaving AMC in dire need of a new prestige drama (no, The Walking Dead doesn't count). Perhaps this 1980s-set series about the rise of the personal computing revolution will be the network's next big thing. One thing's for sure, we're very excited to see Pushing Daisies' Lee Pace return to TV.—JJ
Weatherby's Bitters release, Jun 3
Former Barrelhouse Flat bartender Greg Buttera debuts Weatherby's Bitters, his new line of cocktail bitters, tonics and syrups. He'll release the line on June 3 at Ampersand, the event space within Kinmont, and we already foresee our home cocktail game improving.—AC
Orange Is the New Black's second season on Netflix, available Jun 6
House of Cards may have raked in the Emmy nominations, but this scrappy ensemble dramedy following the inmates in a women's penitentiary is the show Netflix should really be proud of. Its fantastically diverse cast of characters made us cry tears of joy and sorrow last year and we're anxious to see what they shot in Chicago this winter. Who'd have thunk we'd be this excited to go back to prison.—JJ
The Last Ship at Bank of America Theatre, Jun 10–Jul 13
Can Sting's earnest, rustic folk tunes successfully propel a Broadway tuner? We'll get the first look at the New York–bound musical inspired by the closing of a shipyard in Gordon Sumner's hometown of Wallsend.—Kris Vire
This Is Our Youth at Steppenwolf, Jun 10–Jul 27
It's hard to imagine a more unexpected Hipster Youth movement at Steppenwolf than Scott Pilgrim vs. the World costars Michael Cera and Kieran Culkin and Rookie editrix Tavi Gevinson starring in Kenneth Lonergan's 1996 document of Gen X disaffection. (Bonus hip factor: The production sports an original score by Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij.) The summer surprise, directed by Steppenwolf ensemble member Anna D. Shapiro, is backed by Broadway bigwig Scott Rudin, who will shepherd it intact for an August opening on the Great White Way.—KV
Assassins at Theatre Wit, Jun 13–Jul 20
We don't know what kind of good deeds we did to deserve the slew of Stephen Sondheim musicals we've seen this year so far, and that will continue in the fall with Porchlight Music Theatre's all-Sondheim season. For the summer stretch, Kokandy Productions mounts the composer's underrated 1991 take on the American Dream, as seen by those who've taken aim at U.S. Presidents. Expect fireworks.—KV
Brigadoon at Goodman Theatre, Jun 27–Aug 3
The mythical Scottish village of Brigadoon only manifests for one day every 100 years. Lerner and Loewe's romantic 1947 musical about the town, featuring numbers like "Almost Like Being In Love," doesn't appear much more often than that in Chicago, making Rachel Rockwell's Goodman production one not to miss.—KV
The Comedy Exposition of 2014, Jul 11–13
A new DIY comedy festival, this one explicitly inspired by the absence of Just for Laughs Chicago, is coming to three neighborhoods over three nights. Showcases will take place in multiple venues in Lakeview on Friday, July 11, Wicker Park on Saturday, July 12, and Logan Square on Sunday, July 13, with a mix of national headliners and local talent.—KV
Beck and Giorgio Moroder at Pitchfork Music Festival, July 18
No complete festival lineup has yet to thrill me, but the tail end of Pitchfork's first night is a pretty brilliant stand-alone gig. Giorgio Moroder essentially invented electronic dance music and owned '80s movie soundtracks ("Call Me," "Take My Breath Away," "Cat People"). Daft Punk's latest record upped his profile dramatically (can't imagine him here otherwise). It's a perfect lead-in to the similarly forward-thinking and genre-fusing Beck, who's touring one of the best albums of 2014.—BD
OutKast at Lollapalooza, Aug 2
Look, we all know Skrillex and Kings of Leon headlining Lolla is about as exciting as a measles outbreak. Don't get too down on the festival, though. It does give Chicago the opportunity to hear "B.O.B," "Ms. Jackson," "GhettoMusick," "Hey Ya!" and so many more fantastic singles. Don't go thinking we're special, though. The Atlanta duo is playing EVERYWHERE this season—even Milwaukee.—BD
Haruki Murakami's Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage, Aug 12
I've read every word this man has written at least once. My obsession led me to nearly purchase this book in Japanese last year from a Kinokuniya. I can't read Japanese, I just wanted this that badly. Murakami's 13th novel seems in line with his heartbreaking realistic works (and career peaks) like Norwegian Wood and South of the Border, West of the Sun, as the title character tracks down old high-school friends in Finland and Japan.—BD
The Malört documentary
We can't get enough of our favorite bitter liqueur, and Fire Engine Red Films will give us more when they release a documentary about Jeppson's Malört this summer. Here's a peek.—AC
Kevin Boehm and Rob Katz of the Boka Group (Boka, Girl and the Goat, Balena) take on Japanese food this summer when they open Momotaro, a new spot in the West Loop. There will be sushi, robata and more on the menu. 820 W Lake St.—AC

MOSCOW (AP) - The IAAF has called on Russia to reconsider its views on gays, yet says it does not want to raise political issues about the country's new anti-gay legislation at the world track championships.
IAAF deputy general secretary Nick Davies says it would be good for the Russian government to see people with "alternative lifestyles, and this may serve as an impetus for them to reconsider their views instead of just living in an isolated society."
At the same time, Davies insisted the world championships should take on the credo of the Olympics and not raise political issues during their events. The track worlds start Saturday.
Russia recently introduced a law that bans so-called "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" and imposes fines on those holding gay pride rallies.

It's hard to believe that Coral Springs, Florida's New Found Glory is now entering its 13th year of syrupy-sweet pop-punk carnage. The lineup has remained unchanged the whole time, as lead singer Jordan Pundik's heartbroken sneer remains indelible. NFG's self-titled 2000 LP fully took hold of the burgeoning pop-punk scene at the turn of the last decade, giving the band a spot amongst bands like Blink-182 and Houston's like-minded Fenix TX (nee Riverfenix). By 2008, NFG had amassed enough singles for a hits record and were exalted as scene godfathers somehow fortunate enough to stay true to their roots.

This doesn't work....!!!! when i tried to run the program after replacing the original files with the cracked ones.....an error pop up saying 'INVALID DATA FILES'.......without the crack ,one can run the program but none of the the keys work so this program is of no use if it is not updating my drivers without the keys.......!!!...

welcome psycho34
A little advice that could help many, Ma-Config, awesome in updating drivers and costs nothing. Thanks uploader, your torrent is perfect but ma-config still is better for me than driver-not-so-genius.
To chop007 - Ma-config, while interesting, isn't as complete as Driver Ge Pro; it also just gives you a very small list of drivers without saying which need updated...or not. Still, much like the old Evergreen program, now Aida, it renders a lot of information about your system. If you're looking for a no-brainer near-automatic driver updater, this is it.
This works well
I'm getting "Invalid data file" too, but i turned off all driver genius processes in task manager. What should i do?
Do not copy the data file from the crack folder just the .exe file & works fine, not like the other 200 on here

Everyone tells me horror stories about childbirth. Should I ask them to stop?
Since the day I found out I was pregnant, women have been telling me horror stories about childbirth. I've heard things that would make your toes curl. I try to ignore them, but some accounts scare me to the point of tears. This is my first pregnancy and I don't know what to expect from the delivery. Why do people feel the need to share their most awful birth experiences instead of the joyous ones?

Before they can even get started, politely explain to them that you are trying to surround yourself with positivity, and if their story in any way is going down the other path to please veer another direction. I've found this works if done with a smile. I also add that I'm now only watching comedies on TV and reading heartfelt love stories. Most everyone understands ~posted 08/27/2008 by Gredler
I am 31 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child - my firstborn is 13 months old. I had a great birth experience. I was induced at 5am, had 2 hours of hard contractions, got an epidural at 9am, took 2 naps, woke up and was 10 cm, pushed for 30 minutes and delivered a 9 lb 6 oz baby by 12:30 pm. I tell my "good" birth story all the time. I think it's important to tell the good stories too.posted 08/20/2008 by gobama01
To be perfectly honest, the birthing process was my favorite part of pregnancy. I'm not going to lie and say it was completely comfortable-it hurts, but compared to 40 weeks of pregnancy it's fast and you get such an amazing reward at the end! I had an epidural when I was about 7 cm and it went without a hitch. I did need an episiotomy and the baby was removed with a vacuum because the cord was wrapped around her neck, but I was focused enough that it didn't worry me too much. We both made it through healthy and happy! It is an amazing experience and one you will only get to have a few times in your life. njoy it!posted 08/04/2008 by MegStar2be
Telling the story of their baby's birth is just like people who tell stories of other traumatic things. When people go through things like that, they want to tell their story. I had a bad one myself and it's like one of my badges of honor to tell people what me and my baby went through. Maybe you could look at it as more of an inspirational story than a horror story because they made it through all that.posted 07/29/2008 by dcballis
I had two great kids a boy and a girl, will it was not that much difficult. It hurt of course but not difficult. I was in labour for around 4 to 6 hours for each only which was not that much a long time. But at the end you'll have a nice baby and a nice experience.My baby boy is 8 years and 7 months and my baby girl is 7 years and 4 months. Now I am pregnant with the third child and as per the doctor it is a baby girl so I just can't wait to see her which will be on Dec. of this year. All I can say is just enjoy the moments and don't think of the pain just think of this little human who'll be a new member in your family.posted 07/21/2008 by Tulips4u2
I have to say I didn't have a great experience with my first and I was so mad that no one told me about this issues which is why I have shared but I try to do it with care not to scare.posted 07/21/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I too have noticed that many women tend to get competitive with horror stories of traumatic pregnancies and births. It's my first pregnancy, and I'm 13 weeks along. I have had a really rough time with the "morning" sickness. When I mention how hard it's been and that I'm hoping it will be better during my 2nd trimester to other moms, often they reply with some horror story of how they were puking their brains out for the entire nine months. A simple, "Don't worry. It'll get better," would suffice, but I rarely get that from other moms. Perhaps my nausea will last the whole nine months, but I'm a firm believer in optimism and positive thinking. Dreading that I'll have a terrible pregnancy will not making it any easier!posted 07/21/2008 by Reagan Deal
Well, although there are negative experiences, a lot is how you perceive your own experience! MOST births go succrssfully, I would ignore the stories!posted 07/21/2008 by JustPreTjenE
yes childbirth is very painful for most women but that is why they have medication that is safe for you and your baby to make you more comfortable. i had my firt child 18 months ago with no drugs. it was the most painful experience of my life but it doesn't last for ever and once the baby is out that pain you felt doesn't matter. it's a great feeling once the baby is out. i'm pregnant with my second and i'm not too worried i know that every birth is different but i know what to expect and it doesn't worry me. the excitement of having another child out weighs the pain that i remember by far.posted 06/29/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
I teach childbirth classes and my friends and I love to share our birth stories. There is one that I was cracking up so hard because there were some very funny moments. (The birth tub almost didn't get blown up in time, and the 2 year old saw it and started to take off his clothes and put toys in the "pool in the middle of the living room". I think that if you are around women who have positive birth experiences they share positive stories. When I was pregnant the first time the stories I heard were enough to make me have vivid nightmares. I think that so many people have a negative perception of birth and it colors the stories they share. Most women have an emotional tie to there birth story, so please don't ask them to stop, but you may feel better if you make some friends with women who have had good experiences. La Leche League is one good place, also birth classes may help you know what to expect and feel a little less scared. (Hypbirth, Bradley, Mongan Method)posted 06/08/2008 by nicole722

When the topic of underrated emcees comes up, people often mention Lloyd Banks or Pusha T. Left out of the discussion is Talib Kweli. Overshadowed by his one time (hopefully soon to be two time) partner in rhyme, Mos Def, Kweli has continuously fed hip hop heads healthy helpings of good music. However, as most Kweli fans will agree, each Kweli release has been somewhat of a step down from the last ever since Kweli and Mos Def's classic Blackstar album. Not far removed from last year's slept on Reflection Eternal album, Revolutions Per Minute, the BK emcee Talib Kweli is back on his own with Gutter Rainbows.
Kweli hops right in on the title track "All these rappers looking mad in photos/a sad display of braggadocio/quality makes up for what I lack in promo" possibly addressing the lack of label attention given to the Reflection Eternal album. On "I'm on One", Kwe spits "I got the recipe for rest in peace/ I never ran, but I'm looking so presidential/I still command you to arrest the chief/rebellion is my specialty/ while the mad cows convince you to invest in beef". Lyrically, Kweli seems to have not lost a step.
The production on "Gutter Rainbows" seems to be pretty hit or miss. S1 (of Kanye West's "Power" fame) makes two appearances, a decent, jazzy showing on "Wait for You" and a forgettable track on "Mr. International". Khrysis provides the heat on the aforementioned "I'm on One" which finds Kweli spitting some of his hardest bars on the album over the vintage sounding track, live crowd shouting "ho" sample included.
Relative newcomer to the world of hip hop production Maurice Brown (known more as a trumpet player) shows the smoother, laid back sound can be just as effective when dealing with powerful lyrica content on "Self Savior." Chace Infinite makes an appearance on the track, propelling Kweli to take his rhymes to another level. Kweli obliges and comes in the second verse with "I'm lethal, I'm from a people who was forced into captivity/original man, that was often a facsimile/I give a little bit more than you metaphors and whack similes/thousand yard stare, say a prayer for my enemies/I'm international, half of these rappers laughable/it's tragic how the other half so vaginal/they put the style over substance, this kind of bothers me, my style married my substance, now they living in harmony/but any substance can be abused, 'specially when the style is so seductive, the substance considers leaving you/you gotta get back to your essence, use your gifts and share you presence/ don't count your dollars till you count your blessings."
Of the 14 tracks on the album, most find Kweli as the lone spitter. While Jean Grae brings it on her feature, Sean Price could have been left out. Overall, the album is a decent offering, just nothing amazing. It's a good listen for now, however, I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future the album is forgotten and left off people's year-end best lists.

"When the topic of underrated emcees comes up, people often mention Lloyd Banks or Pusha T. Left out of the discussion is Talib Kweli."
Who are these imaginary people whose first example of an underrated emcee is Lloyd Banks? HHS – out of touch with reality as usual.
I remember when this site actually knew what HIP HOP was!
Love it jack in the box – thats the first thing that hit me too. The reason Kweli would be left out of that discussion is because folk that listen to Lloyd and T are DUMB!!!!!!!!!!!
HHS is piss-poor, consider this a fan lost.
Easy guys, all the rating reflects is that we didn't like this album as much as this one:
or even this one:
The reviews reflect the writer's opinion of the album by itself, not the writer's opinion of the artist. Talib, or any other artist for that matter, doesn't get a 4 or above every time he puts out an album. Everything is listened to objectively.
Don't rag on Pusha T, the dude is real ill… when his solo LP drops on G.O.O.D. music he gonna show you… listen to his guest shots on Alchemist "Chemical Warfare album on "lose your life" and the first two Clipse albums…

An 18-year-old Wausau man will spend 60 days in jail and eight years on probation following a burglary conviction.
Investigators say Jonathon Kuy and two minor suspects broke into a home in Wausau in March 2012 while the homeowners were on vacation. The victims said the suspects stole several guns, cash, and electronics.
Six months later a similar break-in occurred with the suspects reportedly taking a 300 lbs. gun safe, cash, and knives. One of the teens told authorities the safe had been dumped near the Wisconsin River in Wausau, and one or two of the guns were also thrown into the river.
Kuy is also considered a suspect in the burglaries of three Taylor County businesses from Nov. 11 to Nov. 15, 2013. In those cases investigators says the suspects stole more than $60,000 in cash. According to court documents, as of Nov. 21, 2013 approximately $30,000 had been recovered. A one day trial has been scheduled for Nov. 13 in Taylor County.
The two minors in the case are not being charged as adults and their names will not be released.
In August, Kuy pleaded no contest to two counts of burglary during a plea deal with prosecutors. As result two charges of theft will be dismissed, but were considered during his sentencing.
If Kuy violates the terms of his probation he could spend five years in prison.
