Fighting over the check
I'm trying to understand the mentality that goes with having the server decide who pays the check. More specifically, more than one member of the party slips credit cards to the server. How are they to decide? It would seem that first come, first serve would be a good way to go except many people i.e. the "birthday" person, can be the first person to slip the card.
It can get hostile amongst guests. To be quite frank, I believe it is completely inappropriate to ask a server to get involved and less appropriate to say "I'm a better tipper!"
Any thoughts?
I think your topic is interesting: I also have wondered what servers go through in deciding who gets the check. (If I mean to do so, which is not routine because we usually split in our groups, I'll tell the server up front.)
But other parts of your message puzzle me, and I wonder if you're making a mountain of a molehill. Is it a real world situation when a server is asked to decide who actually pays? And if so, and if someone interjects that he/she's a better tipper, I'd assume they're just goofing around. It's not a server's job.
If two people both give their cards to the server, doesn't the server split the check between the cards? If not, wouldn't you have to go with who gave it first?
I served for a long time and while I haven't had someone straight up ask me to choose, I have had multiple people trying to hand me cards and arguing. I don't think I ever had a problem in that situation understanding who should really be paying. For example, if the bithday person is trying to hand me a card and arguing, generally the other person trying to pay would look at me and say something along the lines of "no really just put it all on this card" in which case I would grab it and run before anyone had time to put up a fight :)
In response to Babette if two people are splitting the check there is usally no argument and they are generally very clear (or I'll ask) how they want to split the bill i.e. split down the middle or divided by dish. Other than special cases like the one above, I would usually go with whoever gave their card first.
I also often had people pull me aside before the meal or on a trip to the restroom and say they'd like to pay. I think the polite thing when someone wants to pay (and it is appropriate for them to pay) is to offer that I pick up the tab once. If they insist then I say thank you and shut my mouth! but that's a whole different post.
"To be quite frank, I believe it is completely inappropriate to ask a server to get involved"
Inappropriate? Probably a little bit, but it is part of the undefined job for a servers to handle situations where multiple guests ask to pay for the check. I don't think I have ever seen people directly ask a server to decide. They may each try to convince the server, so you may say they are asking server to decide, but not in an open statement.
It comes with the business territory. A lot of jobs are like this. If you think about the Japan earthquake and nuclear radiation leak. There were many scientists and engineers stayed behind at the plants at the time. Was it appropriate? Let's just say someone has to do it, and even though it wasn't part of the job description, it has to be done.
"less appropriate to say "I'm a better tipper!""
Ok, that is in fact very inappropriate because that is a form of bribery.
When a second member of the party attempts to give a credit card to the server, the server need only respond, 'it's already been taken care of' smile and move on.
When I waited tables eons ago (40 years) we were trained to check the reservation book and identify the reservee (the Maitre D or Hostess often gave us a heads up. The check would be presented to the reserving party. He (yes 40 years ago, he was the most common situation) arranged for the table and he should receive the bill.
When I am treating, and especially if I anticipate resistance, I speak to the server, and instruct them to hand me the check. That usually works fine.
Thank you for recognizing the very uncomfortable position servers are often put into in these scenarios. My rule, and the rule of my restaurant is first come first served. The best way to avoid fighting is to hand your card over to the server when you arrive. Then, if someone else tries to pull the same thing, the server will, as noted below or perhaps above, state that the check is taken care of and will refuse the card. The last thing we want to do i negotiate check paying between total strangers, income levels and life situations totally unknown to us. It is not our job to decide or even to facilitate the decision. Often, a check goes on the table, and a fight ensues. I just wait a bit and pick it up when it is clear who is paying.
What's most interesting to me is that I have offered a server my credit card many times, and when the server returns, it's inevitable that the card is returned to my husband.
In most Chinese restaurants, the server just leaves the check in the middle of the table. You haven't seen anything yet until you see the Chinese argue over who will pay for the check! I mean, it involves pushing, shoveling and shouting that can go on for a while. Quite a scene!
re: gloriousfood
You never saw my grandfather and father (his SIL) argue over a check (No, neither one is Chinese;-) Family members still laugh and groan about it, and my grandfather has been dead for some 30 years......But I learned something from those arguments.....I make every effort to avoid fights over paying the check. If my husband and I want to pay it, we will announce so ahead of time. If we think that's still not going to avoid a fight, we will hand a credit card to the server when we first arrive. Of course, there are some family members that will never put up a fight, and never offer.....:-)
re: janetofreno
It seems like your relatives also learned from Grandad. You just go about it differently.
You pay the bill to avoid a fight and they never offer to pay, to avoid a fight. ;) Perfectly understandable.
re: gloriousfood
Similar happens with us, as well. Often, the meal is a business dinner, and my wife hands over her corporate card. When the folio is handed back, it is most often handed to me. Just happens.
I've occasionally had success in talking a group into credit card roulette. where everyone puts their credit card in a hat or bag and the server pulls one out.

Looking for Grain Salad Ideas
The post below got me thinking about other grain salads, like quinoa and rice... now that the season is comming for room temp meals.
What is everybody's favorite? I play around with grains but don't really have a standard. I tried the quinoa at a local healthy take-out cafe and loved it, but I can't quite figure out their recipe.
I am on a farro kick right now. I have been making farrotta quite a bit, but now that the weather is getting warmer, it'll be farro salads.
I bet the cafe could give you an idea of how they make it if you ask them.
I doubt this is the specific one you are seeking but it's one you might try sometime, 7 Grain Pilaf Salad--we really liked it and it's in my "keeper" looseleaf:
I'm absolutely addicted to quinoa tabouleh.
Two cups quinoa - cook in four cups water for 15 minutes - fluff and cool.
Add 1/3 cup olive oil (I use less, and it works just fine), at least 5 tbsp fresh lemon juice, chopped shallots, diced cucumbers and tomatoes, and a LOT of fresh cilantro (you can add parsley and/or mint if you so desire.
It's absolutely delicious.
I had a great room temperature salad at Zuni Cafe in San Francisco a week or so ago. Very simple -- farro, thinly sliced kumquats, slivered scallions, small chunks of feta cheese and arugula. The "dressing" was top quality olive oil with just the tiniest bit of acid (lemon juice, but white wine vinegar would work as well).
A room temperature grain salad I make in warm weather is a mixture of brown rice and wild rice, with raspberry vinaigrette, walnuts, scallions and currants.
Also look at the Leite's Culinaria website because they've been adding some recipes from a cookbook called "Whole Grains: Every Day, Every Way."
I love quinoa too. It cooks so much faster than barley and tastes so good.
I basically make it a couple ways with my favourite flavour sets
- warm with mushroom broth, shitakes and green onions, a bit of heat maybe more browned onions
- cool with a vinegrette with avocado, red onions, red peppers, cilantro, jalepeno, garlic etc.
I ilke quinoa salad. A typical recipe for me:
Rinse quinoa well. Toast in a dry skillet over medium heat for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and toasty smelling. Some of the grains will crackle a bit. Then boil/simmer. The toasting makes a big difference IMO.
One combo I like is chickpeas, roasted asparagus (or blanched if you want more bite), parsley, chopped olives, lemon juice. I also like the tabbouleh-ish combo of parsley, tomato, cucumber, lemon juice, and feta.
Here's a link for a quinoa corn and mint salad that Gourmet published last summer. It was really delicious! http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec...
It's not a strict recipe, but I make a bulghur salad with corn, cherry tomatoes, edamame, red onion, and feta with a dill/dijon vinaigrette... it's great for work lunches!
re: laurendlewis
If you buy in bulk, you have the advantage of being able to try out whatever quantity you want. However, be cautious: from what I've read and experienced, bulk grains seem to be more frequently likely to carry larvae of kitchen moths/meal moths. Having dealt with recurring kitchen moths, I don't wish this on anyone. A solution: 1) inspect your purchase very carefully and 2) freeze the grains for two days when you get home.
I once made a barley, mint, green apple and lemon viniagrette salad I found in a book and it is simple but refreshing. Handfuls of barley or wild rice are nice tossed into spinach salads.
I like rice salads 'southwestern' style, with chunks of chicken or turkey, corn, veggies and a spicy jalapeno viniagrette or tomato lime viniagrette, topped with avocado if you have it.
Wheat Berries are the base of my latest grain salad. I love them...they have a slight resistance, not exactly a crunch, but a resistance that makes them seem really hearty. Use the recipe below as a guide. I love it exactly this way, but you can add lots of different vegetables to it, such as chopped zuchinni or yellow squash (I like all the vegetables raw in this salad) artichoke hearts, etc.
Cook Wheat Berries according to the package directions, using chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. Drain and cool. (I usually make 2 cups)
While the berries are cooking, chop up:
1 red onion
1 red bell pepper
1 yellow bell pepper
3-4 green onions (or one bunch chives, chopped or snipped with scissors)
3-4 sprigs parsely
Toss drained and cooled wheat berries with the chopped vegetables and:
1 box cherry tomatoes, halved
5-6 oz goat cheese crumbled
Homemade vinaigrette (see below)
Let sit for an hour or so, though you can eat it immediately as well.
Mix 4 parts oil to 1 part red wine vinegar and 1 part champagne vinegar.
Chopped shallot
Dijon Mustard
Juice of one lemon
Chopped or pressed garlic
Lots of salt and pepper
Touch of paprika
re: coconutz
You know, I have never paid attention, and as I just made this a few day ago, I do not have a package to look at to check, as it was my last package in the cupboard. I would guess soft. I am not sure what the difference would be!
re: Tom P
I love wheatberries too...At the big event kitchen I cook at we made a wheatberry salad that I think may have been from the moosewood cookbook (guessing...I know that was my bosses favorite for a while) but I remember it had loads of dried fruit (currants, dried canberries, diced dried apricot?) diced cucumber and a light lemon/olive oil dressing. We served it over 4th of July weekend and we had to explain what a wheatberry was about 200 times (serving about 250 people), but once we got people to try it it went flying out of the bowl. I'm sure there was more in there...but I'm not sure what exactly. But, we didn't really follow the recipe anyway (it's hard to when you are doing a 20x version), so I think any combination of dried fruit that appeals, plus something for crunch, and a light tangy dressing would be wonderful. Def. make sure the dried fruit is cut small so each bite has a variety of fruit bits and a bit of the crunch element.
We also had a very pleasant accidident when tabbouli turned into something else all together...our very helpful volunteers made about 4 times as much bulgur as I needed to balance the parsley we had. So we had a bulger salad with parsley. I added olives and a ton of garlic and upped the dressing and ended up with a lovely green-flecked bulgur salad. Also a big hit that same day.
I think my favorite thing about whole grain 'salads' is that as long as you keep the balance of sizes and textures in mind you can combine anything that sounds yummy together and call it a salad and it will probably work.
I ditto the poster who recommended Kashi's 7 grain pilaf. I cook up a pack (they come three packs to a box), keep it in the fridge, and toss a handful into or over whatever we're having -- soup, salad, stir-fry.
Important note with quinoa - rinse several times. Treat like bulghur and add mint & parsley in copious amounts. Add pomeganate seeds in winter or dried cherries.
Wheatberries are great combined with other grains. Try Union Square Cafe cookbook recipe for basmati, wild rice and wheatberry pilaf
I have been playing w/ bulghur in my salads thanks to Arabesque, the cookbook of the month. Recently made the salad w/ chickpeas and bulghur. Very simple, zesty, herbacious, wholesome. It tasted better on the second day. Tabbouleh salad is also very nice. Make sure to use finely milled bulghur (#1 or #2).
Recipe link:
Photo of salad:
A friend from France introduced me to her recipe for simple "salade de riz au thon" (salade of rice with tuna). I was very skeptical about this salad, but I turned out to love it. It involves mixing cooled brown rice, tuna, olive oil, good mustard, a little mayo, herbs, chopped carrots, and chopped shallots. She also likes little chopped pickles in hers.
It's become a favorite picnic/hike/roadtrip staple.
you can use couscous to make a french-style tabouleh. It basically involves adding veg such as tomato cucumber, red onion; herbs; protein such as chicken or shrimp and soaking in lemon juice, olive oil and vinegar.

5 driving tips for a safe Halloween
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has proposed a new rule that would make all manufacturers' push-button start systems work the same way, reports Bloomberg.All major automakers now offer push-button start as a feature or option, but they don't all work exactly the same. Some engines might come to life or turn off as soon as the button is pressed, while others may require the button to be held down.This can create issues for drivers using unfamiliar vehicles. In at least one case, the NHTSA reports, the driver could not turn off the system via push-button start because he was in a borrowed vehicle, causing a fatal accident. If all the systems worked in the same way, it would cut down on driver confusion."These are the kinds of things you never think to read up on when you're in a new vehicle or a rental vehicle," Henry Jasny, vice president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, told the news source. "It's better that it's standardized."While the NHTSA regulates safety across the country, the group can only do so much. Drivers must also ensure that their vehicle is as safe as possible by keeping up with their auto maintenance. It might seem small, but ignoring brake service or oil changes could lead to potentially hazardous consequences.

Gold vegetable soup with red lentils added. I use butternut pumpkin, kumera and carrots. You can use any amounts of veges to your preference or whatever you have. The addition of carrots gives this soup a natural sweetness. A very easy soup to make with added protein. Nobody would guess that there are lentils in this soup-they just cook down and help to thicken the soup. To make this soup gluten free-ensure the stock used is labeled as GF. I use Massell brand as it is gluten free, lactose free and vegetarian. You really just cant go wrong making this soup-it's very easy to make. This does make a thick soup- so add some extra stock or water if you like a thinner style soup- add to your liking.

text: Further Regards Juana la Loca after Phillip's death. The following was clipped from an on line biography: Philip's coffin was temporarily buried in a monastery near Burgos. Stories were spread that the mad Queen had the coffin opened every night and then embraced her beloved dead. In fact, Juana (to the right) did have the coffin opened once and then looked at her husband's remains, but not until five weeks after his death, as a response to rumours that his body had been stolen. When the wrappers were removed from the corpse, Juana began kissing its feet. She had to be removed from the vault with force. When Burgos was struck by a contagious disease, Juana decided to move to Torquemada. She wanted to take the coffin with her, because it was en route to Philip's final resting place, Granada. The coffin was opened for a second time to ensure that Philip's remains were still there. Thus, Juana had his coffin carried about on her journeying. It was guarded by an armed escort and she had ordered that females were to be kept at a distance. She travelled by night only and during the day they rested in monasteries, deliberately avoiding nunneries. When Juana was seized with labour pains on her gloomy procession in January 1507, she refused the help of midwives and gave birth alone to a daughter, Catalina. Meanwhile, the coffin was placed in a nearby church before the altar and Juana jealously ordered that women were forbidden to come near it. After four months she started out again with the coffin. When suddenly a storm broke, she refused to take shelter in a nunnery. Again she had the coffin opened to gaze at the smelling remains of her once handsome husband. She stopped in a little village and stayed there for some more months, keeping the coffin with her. When she received word that her father had returned from Naples, she opened the coffin a fourth time before she set out to meet her father. Daniel

Payment-in-lieu-of-taxes, or PILOT, agreements are a favorite tool for attracting investments and jobs from companies like Volkswagen, Coca-Cola and Chattem.
But a new PILOT agreement proposed by Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke's staff to attract residential development marks a departure from precedent, and is likely to add confusion to a process already little understood.
Though called by the same name, the existing industrial PILOT and the proposed residential PILOT types of agreements operate differently.
Industrial PILOT agreements are negotiated in secret between the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce and businesses that are looking to move here. The groups agree on the investment and jobs created, then present a proposal to the Industrial Development Board, City Council and Hamilton County Commission to freeze some part of the company's property taxes for a certain period.
The city's residential PILOT, as proposed, would be negotiated with River City Co. and the developer for a 10-year property tax break. The deal they reach would go before the Health, Educational and Housing Facility Board, the City Council and the County Commission for final approval.
The City Council will vote on the PILOT proposal tonight. The County Commission already has approved the plan.
River City introduced a similar PILOT agreement in 2002 that helped pave the way for multiple high-end townhomes, such as the Walnut Commons off Aquarium Way, the Bread Factory Lofts on the Southside and the Mountain City Lofts off Main Street. That agreement has expired.
City officials say the major difference this time is that developers will be required to rent 20 percent of their units at rates affordable for people who make less than 80 percent of the area median income, or around $31,000.
Helen Burns Sharp, a retired city planner who is sharply critical of city and county tax incentives, said this agreement is better than the previous one, but she's concerned it could set a precedent for future housing development. And the process prompts more questions about transparency, she said.
"I'm not anti all tax incentives or PILOTS, but there needs to be an application made public. There needs to be criteria, and this information needs to be presented to the public and the public needs to have time to comment," she said.
Jim Williamson, vice president of planning and development for the River City Co., argued that the benefits of this housing agreement outweigh the costs because the infrastructure, such as the sewage lines, electricity and buildings, is already in place and the city isn't spending extra money to offer the tax break.
Freezing the taxes for a few years will increase the number of people downtown, who will spend more money at downtown businesses, he said.
"You don't get that [benefit] to the same extent in suburban areas," he said.

Did you read to the end of the story? That's exactly the point I make -- he became beloved because he behaved well. It's a hate redemption story!
Happy Holidays, Cupcake! Enjoyed the "Hate" article. But looking at the poll results, I'm somewhat dismayed. Jesse James really ranked #2 (as of this morning)? Who the heck is he, anyway - just some dumb guy married to a celebrity. So many people on that list who have really done things that affect us one way or another, but this guy gets a bunch of attention? Sigh. Unless people hate him for the besmirching of the good name of the original Jesse James, that is.
Clearly, the original Jesse James is rolling in his gunslinging grave over these poll results.
I think that Jesse is high on the list because what he did feels very personal and specific. We can identify the person that he hurt -- and she's a person we would totally go shopping and get coffee with. Also, the act of infidelity is something many of us have feared, so Sandra becomes the talisman for our own paranoia of betrayel.
Did we hate Jay Leno enough in 2010? Can I still hate him or am I supposed to go back to liking him? I don't have cable (even TBS) so this is A Big Deal for me. Also on the media, am I supposed to hate big corporate media conglomerates who fire reporters and journalists because They (the corporate cheeses) don't understand budgets or 21st century technology? Or do I hate the journalists who took the packages and left, or the Blogs who hired them? It's so confusing!
1) You may go back to liking Leno, if he is your only late night option. You shall be forgiven this.
2) The correct entity to direct your media hatred toward are the Bloggers who parasitically steal reporters' works but do no original reporting. This description does not fit all, most, or even half of the bloggers out there, but in your fits of rage, you must fail to differentiate good ones from bad ones, and just rant against the nameless Bloggers, with the implied capital "B."
Does this help?
I think that it's about abandoning Clevelent -and- about the fact that he abandoned Cleveland for glitzy Miami. If he had traded for, say, Omaha (Is there basketball in Omaha?) it would have been much less symbolic.
I have just Googled Beth Reisgraf, and I am taking this as a huge compliment.
Note: I didn't write "Who we hated" -- that's a head that came from elsewhere.
Note 2: There's a good chance I still would have gotten it wrong. Bad English major, me.
Isn't that the whole point, though, with lots of people who inspire our anger? It's not about what they did or didn't do. It's about what we've decided they represent, and why that symbol is so painful at a particular time.
Conan was promised the Tonight show. He put in years or labor. And then he was denied. He was like all of the people who worked for decades and then found out that their retirement was gone.
I'm not saying it makes sense; I'm saying I think that's what was going on behind the Leno hating.
Can we hate him this year too?
Bernie came so very close to appearing on this list. So very close.
Before even looking at the article, I nominated Glenn Beck. I can live with views opposite to mine. I have issues when the person holding those views decides to make up "facts" and "statistics" to go along with downright innuendo to prove his own point. I have huge issues when that person claims some combination that the government/society/national dream/country/world is going to end again and again and again because fear mongering=ratings. Throw in a self-congratulatory fear-mongering session/pep rally that smears the name and memory of one of the greatest of national heroes, and that's the year that Glenn Beck has had.
You know, I thought about Beck, too -- and also thought about President Obama -- but ultimately decided those were sort of Hatred 101 figures, and that we should look for Advanced Placement hating.
But if I had included him, you have just outlined what I would have said. Yup. Good job.
Why dump on Leno? If Leno is so bad, people would not watch the show, advertisers would pull out and the show would cancel. I tried giving Conan a chance. I watched several weeks worth of his antics and found it a waste of time. The network gave him a chance and the ratings plummeted. We didn't see Leno be evil, we saw an audience vote for the better comic.
More Leno love!
Does she really belong on this list? From my observation, Bristol had numerous defenders who saw her as a victim of snooty intellectuals and media types, as if a win for her would be a victory for "regular folks." That would be the party line from her mother. But the irony is that those groups don't even watch Dancing with the Stars. I suspect most of the insults directed at Bristol were really about her mother, and regardless of her dancing ability, I thought it was unfair to make her a proxy for Sarah. And lots of celebrities receive hate mail and death threats from unbalanced people. With LeBron James, there have been other pro athletes who have abandoned their homes towns in search of more money and more championships. The reason to single out LeBron is because those others didn't hold prime-time specials to rub their departures in the faces of the home-town fans. Christine O'Donnell seems to have been the target of ridicule instead of hate, at least by the rest of the country. Despite her claims about witchcraft, she sounded to me like someone who had grown up home-schooled by fundamentalists who shielded her from any outside influences. But many voters in Delaware resented her for regularly telling opponents that they were evil and not authentically American.
Thanks. Your points about Bristol illustrate how people use hate to identify themselves with particular groups. You're absolutely right -- lots of people loved Bristol Palin, but those who hated, hated big time. But however your felt about her, your feelings could be used as a shortcut to explain who you were and what you identified with.
You are talking to a person who loaded up the car yesterday with a case of water, heaps of blankets, and a flarge gun or two, then saw precisely three flakes between South Carolina and Washington DC.
See above -- Sarah Palin was just too easy. It's remedial hate at this point. We need to hate smart, people.
Thanks for writing, but the piece actually ran on December 26, not December 25 in the newspaper. And the reason for the timing was that the Outlook section is a weekly, not a daily section. It went on the last Sunday of 2010 -- an appropriate slot for a column recapping the year's emotions.
Now this is just poking.
Remember how the Baltimore Colts left for Indianapolis in the middle of the night? Is there any way that we can get the dysfunctional Washington Wizards to do the same this and go to a place that is a better match for them (Detroit?)? I just wish we could wipe the slate clean and get rid of everything about the Wizards including the players, the coaches and especially the owners. Remember when Charles Barkley raised a big fuss with his "I am not a role model" comment? Every picture of a Washington Wizard that WaPo posts should have a "This is not a role model" disclaimer in it.
So...Are you nominating the entire Wizards team, then?
Hmm. I'm sorry -- and a bit surprised, actually -- that you found the article depressing. I looked at the assignment as an interesting opportunity to explore a common, unavoidable human emotion.
Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, Dancing with the Stars (everyone and anyone who appears or watches). Albert Haynesworth, Dan Snyder, John Boehner (I'm sick of this cry baby), Tiger Woods. I could go on.....
Oh, you should! Where were you when I needed you?
I've gotten a lot of Bieber nominations, which is fascinating. How did this nice 17-year-old kid go from behind a reprieve from the Jonas Brothers to being totally villified? Is it just overexposure?
On the upside, maybe her kids would like these presents next year?
Apropos of nothing, I re-watched "Elf" a few nights ago, and am now reminded of the scene in which Will Farrell sweetly believes that the scuzzy diner serves the "World's Best Coffee" because it says so.
Joseph Kony of the "Lord's Resistance Army" in Uganda and Sudan being backed by the terrorist government of North Sudan's president al Bashir.
There is probably an emotion beyond "hate" for that one.
A bunch of celebrities to "hate" is a luxury most can't enjoy. My 59-year-old girlfriend lost her job last Jan. 1 after four decades of achievement. She faces ruin as she approaches retirement after all those years of hard and successful work (I of course won't let that happen). What does she care about Jesse James? He may be a scumbag, but does he even hold a candle to those at Goldman Sachs et al who are taking home millions in bonuses that we taxpayers made possible?
And the nameless suits of Goldman Sachs might belong on a list like this. But I disagree that hate is a "luxury." In fact, I think that when things are going poorly for us, we're probably more likely to seek out scapegoats or voodoo dolls.
I also think there's a cohort of 17-year-old girls who hate him, mostly because they're embarrassed that they loved him at 15. He's an awkward reminder of childhood.
But the press loooooved him. He was so fascinatingly wacky.
Oh good -- I'm glad we have someone articulating the Leno hate from the other side, and doing a much better job than I did a few posts ago.
It makes it easier to hate, yeah, but it also makes the hate cycle go faster. We barely have the time to get lathered up about someone before a new villain swoops in.
I swear, this joke must be retired in 2011.
He also has a "swagger coach." In a 1980s-style summer camp movie, the attendees at the evil rich kids' camp would be the only ones to have a "swagger coach."
Are you serious? This is amazing news I had never heard!
We all need to work on replacing "Justin Bieber is a girl" jokes with "Justin Bieber has a swagger coach" ones. Because if the second one is true, it is infinitely more bizarre.
Or, hating Haiti's fault lines, at least.
This chat is making me prettier and prettier.
Wait, are we hating Toy Story 3 now? Or are there reference I do not understand?
Eh, I think the Kardashians fall more into that eye-rolling, "I am embarrassed for you" category.
Just posting...
Just wait for his potential Wasila mayoral race reality show to commence. My guess is that we have not even begun to explore the depths of our feelings for that boy.
A Conan hater!
I think this spectrum has officially been covered now.
I am thinking that one "hates on" a particular issue, while "Is a hater" refers to a generally disagreeable state of being. Except that "Stop being a hater" would likely be stated as a reaction to a particular comment, so...
Oh, you're right. This is a linguistic goldmine.

We rescued Sky from Hamilton Animal Control today! Why is her name Sky? Well, because she literally fell from it. Sky was found on a second floor balcony of a high-rise apartment building in Hamilton. She was clearly injured, so her fall must have been from several storeys up. Hamilton Animal Control was called and Sky was taken to the vet. The vet didn't do any xrays to know for sure, but they suggested Sky might have a leg fracture, and other minor injuries. They prescribed pain medication and after staying at the clinic for the night, Sky was sent to… read more >>

Survivor Series 2014
Survivor Series 2014 is an unusual pay-per-view, because to all intents and purposes it isn't one. You can order it on PPV if you really want to, but it's being offered as the centrepiece of a free try-out month for the WWE Network, which the WWE is still bound and determined to get you to subscribe for, being pretty much committed to the idea by this point. So it's a freebie – no doubt explaining the ludicrously flimsy undercard.
That's except for viewers in the UK, where the Network was announced as launching at the start of the month, only to be delayed without explanation at the last moment. The story is apparently that they still haven't managed to sort things out with BSkyB; the most recent contract did allow for the Network launching, but not until the originally scheduled date at the start of next year. The WWE could have launched a UK version without the Sky-exclusive programming, but…
So here we are, with the UK being the only country in the world asked to pay full price for a free show. Will anyone in the UK actually be watching this show legitimately? It seems almost unimaginable.
Hell in a Cell 2014
The WWE are due to announce subscriber figures for the WWE Network again at the end of this month, so you might have thought that this show would have some sort of priority for them. By all appearances from the card, it doesn't – to the extent they have a direction going for the main event, it seems to be looking past this show to the next one.
The latest tactic to try and boost Network subscriber numbers is to roll it out internationally. Intriguingly, it has yet to be made available in the UK (leaving aside the obvious methods that can be used to avoid regional limitations – and a potential nightmare scenario for the company is that it turns out that a large chunk of the potential international audience are already using them, so that the potential for further growth is much less than thought). The WWE only recently signed a renewed multi-year deal with Sky, so it would be surprising if they hadn't allowed for the proposed Network launch in its terms. Another possibility is that they're trying to launch it in the UK as an actual broadcast channel, something which has worked unexpectedly well in Canada.
Night of Champions 2014
This is what you might call a post dictated by the blog format. I've not been closely following the build-up to this show (as you might imagine, there have been other things to occupy my attention over the last couple of weeks), nor do I have the faintest intention of watching it (since Chikara's King of Trios shows are this weekend, and as Night 1 is already on VOD, I know that my wrestling-viewing hours for the week ahead are pretty much accounted for).
But let's run down the card anyway. Night of Champions notionally has the gimmick of every title being defended, which isn't much of a gimmick, really – plenty of WWE shows have all the titles being defended. Still, it's something to say. Of more interest this year is the fact that the WWE's "WWE Network" streaming service launched around six months ago, so that the first batch of subscribers will be coming up for renewal around now. In theory, that makes this an unusually important show, because it has to persuade people to re-sign.
Summerslam 2014
The actual content of the last few WWE shows has been overshadowed by the rather more pressing question of how the WWE Network is doing. For those joining us late, or who are simply blog readers who don't follow this wrestling stuff between monthly posts, let's recap.
Since the 1990s the basic model of major wrestling promotions in the US has been monthly PPV promoted by weekly TV shows. The WWE Network attempts to break that model, offering the same "PPV" shows on a Netflix-style streaming service, along with a substantial on-demand back catalogue and some genuinely desirable new material such as NXT, at a monthly price that vastly undercuts the PPV providers. This makes the WWE an early adopter, in terms of being a reasonably substantial content provider trying to cut out the distributors entirely and sell directly to audiences. Hence, the performance of the Network is – or ought to be – of interest beyond the wrestling bubble.
Battleground 2014
For the WWE right now, the unfortunate reality is that perhaps their most compelling storyline is "how is the WWE Network doing", a question that certainly has shareholders on tenterhooks. While the next subscriber number will be out shortly, the rather desperate tone of the on-air promotion gives the distinct impression that it's not going to be spectacular. It could yet turn out that effectively dumping PPV in favour of a subscription streaming service is a great move that was simply ahead of its time; but right now, it's looking increasingly as if the WWE is learning the hard way what happens to early adopters who were a little too early.
In the meantime, we have a show this weekend, which will be somewhat of a time filler, because the next two shows are rather higher priorities – August is Summerslam, which is traditionally one of the biggest shows of the year, and September has to hook the people who subscribed for Wrestlemania and will be coming up for their six month renewal. That said, the card is not without its interest; while there may not be much going on in story terms, it has plenty of potential to be a strong show in the ring. You'll note the near-total lack of gimmickry on this show, which tends to suggest that they're saving all that stuff for Summerslam.
Money in the Bank 2014
Check out the posts below for our Marvel 75th Anniversary Omnibus thingy, and for this week's podcast season finale! Meantime, though, I've got a PPV to cover…
Money in the Bank has wound up an interesting pay-per-view (a term I'll keep using for want of anything better, even though most US viewers will probably be WWE network subscribers) more by accident than design. This is the show built around the annual Money in the Bank Ladder Match, in which the winner gets the right to challenge for the world title whenever they want in the next year. Since "whenever they want" is treated as many "on any show, without having to give any notice", it's effectively a licence to ambush the champion and practically guarantees winning the title. A couple of people have failed, but it's still a pretty reliable indication that somebody is destined for the main event.
But WWE Champion Daniel Bryan is out with neck surgery. The original idea was that he'd be back in time to wrestle on this show, so the company stalled on last month's show and ran a bunch of angles with the idea that he'd resist the Authority's attempts to pressurise him to surrender the title. Then it turned out he wouldn't be able to wrestle on this show either, so they did a screeching U-turn and stripped him of the title after all.
Chikara S14.1: You Only Live Twice
We've done a couple of previous posts about the Chikara indie promotion, which spent much of 2013 pursuing a remarkably audacious storyline in which the company itself closed down, and storylines were carried on through a mixture of micro-indie shows, social media, ARGs, and even a film. With the company now about to run its first official show in almost a year, this seems a good time to check in on them.
For those of you who read the WWE posts, Chikara are an interesting contrast. For one thing, there's no equivalent of Raw or Smackdown; promotion between shows consists primarily of promos and recap videos on YouTube (and, in the past, blog posts on their website; no doubt we'll see more of that in future). This changes the dynamic quite a bit; it means there's more incentive for every match to count (both in storyline and in-ring terms), and no need to cycle through matches to fill hours of weekly television.
Extreme Rules 2014
For American viewers, we now seem to be firmly in the post-PPV era. The WWE's website may still list these shows under the heading of "pay-per-views", but American viewers can get them far more cheaply by subscribing to the Netflix-style "WWE Network". Would you rather pay $40 just for this show, or subscribe to the whole network for six months at $10 a month? The answer ought to be obvious. Conventional PPV providers are predictably enraged, and the satellite companies (though not the cable ones) have responded by refusing to carry the show at all. If that seems like an odd decision, since any orders are better than none, then bear in mind if they allow WWE to act like this, they encourage other PPV providers to follow suit.
Initial Network subscription numbers are at the low end of expectations (and certainly at the low end of announced expectations, which always seemed very bullish). One theory is that if you didn't subscribe for Wrestlemania, you certainly won't be subscribing for a C-level show like this. Another way of looking at it is that a large chunk of the audience just doesn't feel comfortable with streaming yet, especially as they haven't done a particularly great job of promoting all the devices that can access the show. If that's the position, then the satellite companies' stance may just encourage more people to take a second look at the Network.
Wrestlemania XXX
We have a podcast this weekend – that's just one post down. And as Al reminds you there, don't forget to get tickets for our live recording on May 31!
Onwards… The WWE's biggest show of the year is coming from New Orleans this year. If you only buy one wrestling PPV a year, it's probably this one – although this year things are complicated by its inclusion in the Netflix-style "WWE Network" service, where the cost of a six month subscription compares quite favourably with the cost of buying just this one show. So if you're buying this as a PPV in 2014, either you don't have good enough broadband to access the Network, or you haven't heard of the Network, or you live abroad.
Or you don't trust the Network, because it's not been without its teething issues, and plainly this is going to be its biggest test to date. Given that they had some buffering problems on NXT arRival (yes, that's how it was capitalised), you have to wonder. With the Network clearly positioned as the replacement for PPV in the company's business model, it's entirely possible that the big story everyone will be talking about on Monday won't be the wrestling at all, but the tech issues.
Elimination Chamber 2014
Elimination Chamber is an unusual show, more for what's going on in the wider business than for the actual card. On Monday, the WWE launches its online streaming service, WWE Network, which will offer all the future "pay-per-views" as part of the subscription – a subscription which massively undercuts the cost of actually buying them as PPVs. Subscribers will also get access to a substantial video-on-demand library, plus some original programming (though the only notable inclusion is the developmental show NXT, which is genuinely quite good these days). This is all for viewers in the US, by the way; the international launch isn't for a while yet.
In effect, the WWE is abandoning the PPV platform, and these shows will become monthly specials designed to draw new viewers to the Network. In practice, anyone who's remotely interested in the Network is likely to sign up in advance of Wrestlemania next month, and in the short term the company's main revenue source is likely to be rights fees from TV contracts (which, incidentally, are all coming for renegotiation right now) – so there's going to be an interesting tension between grabbing the ratings and steering people to the Network.

French bulldogs are a compact companion dog that are active and love to play. French Bulldogs are known to be stocky, muscular dogs with a smooth coat, snub nose and solid bone structure. French Bulldogs have a physical appearance that is characterized by naturally occurring "bat ears" that are wide at the base and rounded at the top. French Bulldogs tails are naturally short, not cropped, and can be straight or screwed, but not curly.
Under the American Kennel Club and Canadian Kennel Club standards the weight of a French Bulldog is not to exceed 28 pounds (13 kg). In general, French bulldogs range in weight from 22 to 30 pounds. The Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI) does not set a strict weight limit, simply stating "The weight must not be below 8 kg nor over 14 kg for a bulldog in good condition, size being in proportion with the weight". French Bulldogs are wonderful companion dogs that excel in people-oriented activities.
French Bulldogs are loving companion dogs that excell in environments that provide lots of attention. Most French Bulldogs enjoy new places such as stores, banks, parks, and walks.

text: Golf Spread Betting Tips Visit Save For Later by Bettingpro StaffPosted Share: 0 0 0 Get Masterclasses Alerts How to Spread Bet on Golf Games at firms like Extrabet One golfers final round back nine collapse saw him slump from outright second to sixth and sadly for his fixed-odds supporters, out of the betting money. The majority of firms were only offering place terms that stretched to fifth, so £10 each-way at 66/1 returned nothing when, with nine holes remaining, had looked certain to pay at least £175 (the each way return – quarter of 66/1 = 16.5/1). The annoying thing for him is that he had picked a golfer to play well from a field of 160 and received no reward when ultimately his opinion was right. Thousands of punters, just like him, choose to back golfers each week in huge fields. Yes, from time to time they'll get lucky and scoop a win, but in reality they'll miss out. Betting on Tour events each week is like backing a horse in a field of 160! An alternative betting option is to have a spread bet on a golfers finishing position rather than have a fixed-odds bet. A finishing position spread bet really is quite straight forward to understand. Extrabet makes a prediction on where a golfer will finish in a tournament and it is for you to decide whether that prediction is pitched too high or too low. What you then win or lose depends on what stake size you choose to bet with and ultimately how right or wrong you are. Here's how it works in practice. Say Extrabet predicted that "Golfer X" would finish between 35th and 38th in a recent Major. If you'd fancied him to play well you'd have bet lower than 35th (also known as a 'sell'), but if you thought he'd flop, you'd have bet higher than 38th (also known as a 'buy'). The gap in between the finishing position prediction is known as the 'spread' and is the bookmaker's margin. So, if you bet on him to finish better than 35th by selling; you'd have made 29 times whatever stake size you chose because "Golfer X" finished 6th. Obviously, let's not forget that if you'd backed him to do badly by buying his finishing position at 38th, you'd have lost 32 times your stake. When you place a finishing position bet, make sure you check what the maximum make-up is. Some will say that the cut off point for the bet is 50th while others may have it at the cut mark of around 70th. There is certainly no getting away from the fact that a spread bet on a golfer's finishing position will revolutionise the way you bet on golf. Once you've given it a go, you'll never go back to fixed-odds betting and stick to golf spread betting.

That was their story, not the story of the streak, what one guy couldn't do in a brutal HIAC, another guy can do in a match. I will say it again.
Yuck no! This is a horrible thing to say. Horrible. You don't understand how I don't get your point well I don't understand for one second how you can say that there has been no evolution of the streak matches. That's just flat out wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The story is there, it's right in front of you and staring everybody in the face. Their (HBK/Taker/HHH) story has now become the story of the streak. The Undertaker MUST be destroyed in order to beat him at Wrestlemania and it will take a hell of a lot more than a Rock Bottom to get the job done.
That's of course if you want to talk believability and reality based story,
what you're saying that if one guy lost in a brutal match, it means that a better opponent can't do it in another
, is not realistic or believable, you put Rock with Taker at WM and the entire crowd is going to buy every nearfall more than anything they did in HIAC. It's all about the delivery, HBK/HHH traded 100 finishers with Taker at Mania, to the point where you knew it's not ending until at least 3 or 4 more. Rock giving a completely fresh Rock Bottom and a People's Elbow combination and the stadium will explode like never before when Taker is kicking out. Rock/Taker will be much better than Cena/Taker in every aspect(Cena is not a fighter in any way, and Rock is ten times the brawler he is), and the only way Brock/Taker will be better is if you want another MMA based brawl which was already much less effective the second time at Summerslam.
I don't think you're getting what I'm saying at all tbh because that's not it. Then again, you don't, for whatever reason, see any evolution or continuity in the streak matches so it's obvious where the disconnect is coming from. I'll tell you this much. I was there for Mania 28 and from bell to bell, before that actually with JR walking down the ramp, that entire arena was 150% invested in the HIAC match. 150%. Every nearfall, every finisher, everything was bought into so I don't see how you can say that a match with Rock would best that. Match it? Maybe. Best it? I don't think so. I also don't think a Rock Bottom/Elbow combo is going to scare people into believing the streak is over as much as you think it will. Most fans aren't stupid and most of them, like me,
see an evolution in the streak matches these past few years. They're going to know that it will take a hell of a lot more to beat Taker than the People's Elbow. If it happens after a complete and utter ass kicking with weapons and brutal spots etc? Sure. If it happens in the context of a regular match or even a highly intense match? I don't think so, not for one second. I also disagree that Rock/Taker will be better than Cena/Taker. With Cena, there is legit belief that he could end the streak and if he were to be heel for the program, that would only multiply. Brock/Taker will be better than Rock/Taker as well imo. While still fairly predictable, for the sake of the story, I can buy into Lesnar beating Taker a lot more than I can Rock. I don't think I'd be the only one either.

If he does the Taker match he's the de facto heel the second it even gets teased. He's basically a heel in all his programs already lol. Put him against Taker and there's no way he'll be able to get by on his never give up shit. There is a LOT of meat on the bones for a Taker/Cena program. A LOT, much more so than Rock/Taker could ever hope to have in 2012/13/14.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- At least 98 salons, spas and beauty schools in the Milwaukee area and in other states are raising money for the victims of the Wisconsin spa shooting.
Radcliffe Haughton shot seven women at the Azana Salon & Spa in Brookfield on Oct. 21. Three died, including his estranged wife, Zina, before Haughton killed himself.
One of the organizers is Jan Seybold, owner of Carenza Color.Cutting.Experience, which is near Azana. She says she felt helpless when she heard about the shooting and wanted to help the victims at the competing salon.
The salons and spas are donating 5 to 25 percent of sales Tuesday. She says salons in California, New York, New Jersey, Texas and Illinois are also participating.
Seybold says she hopes to raise at least $100,000.

This document provides a collection of resources designed to help forest managers incorporate climate change considerations into management and devise adaptation tactics. It was developed in northern Wisconsin as part of the Northwoods Climate Change Response Framework project and contains information from assessments, partnership efforts, workshops, and collaborative work between scientists and managers.
Stream data are needed to enable managers to understand baseline conditions, historic trends, and potential impacts of climate change on stream temperature and flow, and in turn on aquatic species in freshwater ecosystems.
NorEaST is being developed to provide a coordinated, multi-agency regional web portal to compile, store, map, and distribute continuous stream temperature locations and data across the Northeastern U.S.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin has been a national leader in addressing climate change. Find out more about their approach.
A repository of climate change information for the Great Lakes region, including news, a webinar series and a number of educational resources.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest has been a critical partner in the development and implementations of the CCRF, and has been a test-bed of new resources and activities for responding to climate change in land management. The approach of the CCRF is grounded heavily in partnerships because climate change is inherently an issue that crosses land ownership boundaries: all lands will be affected in some way. Partnership efforts engage a diverse set of land managers, scientists, and others to learn from one another and find practical solutions for sustaining natural ecosystems and the people that depend on them. While partners may have different management goals for their forested lands, each has a stake in managing proactively to maintain these goals under future conditions.
The CCRF approach is unique. It provides a path for organizations to better understand the risks associated with a changing climate, and also works to help identify potential actions for adaptation across spatial scales ranging from individual stands and forests to large landscapes. Building a comprehensive approach to climate change takes time, and the Chequamegon-Nicolet has built its program over time.
Importantly, all of these activities have also helped the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest answer "yes" to 7 elements Performance Scorecard for implementing the Forest Service Climate Change Strategy. Scroll through the images below to see a timeline of activities.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet has a long list of accomplishments related to climate change, many of which were developed as part of the CCRF. This case study focuses on the innovative work that the Chequamegon-Nicolet has done in translating scientific information from climate change vulnerability assessments into on-the-ground demonstrations of climate change adaptation. Information on other aspects of the CNNF approach is available through the Additional Resources tab.
Adaptation demonstration projects provide much-needed examples of what climate change adaptation activities look like in real-world conditions. Although information is increasingly available on how ecosystems may be affected by climate change, there are few examples of management activities that explicitly consider climate change impacts and adaptation opportunities. Adaptation demonstrations, which are one component of the CCRF approach, are designed to fill that gap while also testing out new ideas and actions.
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest has several adaptation demonstrations underway, with the goal of having one demonstration project on each of its five Districts. Each adaptation demonstration is unique, with the intent of providing examples across a variety of spatial scales, forest types, and management issues. Likewise, a variety of adaptation demonstrations have also been established in northern Wisconsin across state, tribal, and private lands.
Each adaptation demonstration uses the adaptation process outlined in Forest Adaptation Resources: Climate Change Tools and Approaches for Land Managers. This set of resources includes the menu of adaptation strategies and approaches, an adaptation workbook, and examples using case studies from the Chequamegon-Nicolet.
One adaptation demonstration evaluated the potential effects of a changing climate on two aspen stands on the National Forest. A team of natural resource managers and climate change specialists from the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest and Northern Institute of Applied Climate Science evaluated the potential impacts of climate change on the two stands and identified a variety of actions that could enhance forest resilience to climate change under a wide range of future conditions. As a result, small changes were made to the silvicultural prescriptions for these stands to reduce risks to these stands from climate change. The stands are now marked and under contract, with harvest anticipated in winter 2013-2014. Additionally, a set of monitoring metrics was identified that can help evaluate the effectiveness of adaptation actions.
The Framework is a collaborative, cross-boundary approach among scientists, managers, and landowners to incorporate climate change considerations into natural resource management. It provides an integrated set of tools, partnerships, and actions to support climate-informed conservation and forest management.
U.S. forests play a large role in offsetting carbon emissions, about 20 % of the U.S. fossil fuel carbon output. If a forest replaces itself after a disturbance like fire, then there is no long-term loss of carbon.
