Everything sticks to the knife!

I'm a bit of a cooking newbie. Still ruin dinner about 50% of the time. Having said that, I have this issue when I'm chopping or slicing stuff. How do you make your meats and veggies NOT stick to the knife while you're cutting? My parents bought me a set of good-quality knives for Christmas, so it can't be knife quality (I would guess). Doesn't matter what knife I use, this has always been an issue. Is there a way to prevent this, or do you just have to get used to it?
<Still ruin dinner about 50% of the time>
We've all been there.
<How do you make your meats and veggies NOT stick to the knife while you're cutting?>
Actually, it is a combination of the knife blade grind and a bit of skill.
A draw cut can significantly reduce food sticking to your blade (but I personally hate draw cut):
Alternatively, if you have a knife with a good grind, then it will also reduce food sticking. Watch this video from 0:55 to 1:30 minute:
Sticking is also not the end of the world. I just wipe the stick on food on the cutting board.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Ah, so helpful! I know it's not a crisis, but I already have enough problems in the kitchen that even the mere annoyance of food sticking is enough to make me lose my marbles sometimes. I'm going to try that draw cut and see if it gets me anywhere.
re: writingislove
I agree, worse things could happen in the kitchen.if you ca't afford new knives( and I can't but I have a sweet, hungry boyfriend) why not try oiling the blades?
re: writingislove
<but I already have enough problems in the kitchen that even the mere annoyance of food sticking is enough to make me lose my marbles sometimes>
True, I know what you mean. There are ways to get around this problem. Draw cut is one way, but I always feel less safe using the draw cut -- probably something I need to work on.
The technique I use to deal with the sticking problem when it occurs is to quickly "wipe" the blade against the cutting board. I think I could have been more clear in my first response about "wiping". By wiping the blade, I mean something like what Martin Yan doing is this video at 3:35 minutes. I don't do it between every slice. I am sure he is not the only one doing this. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good video of someone else doing it. Here:
re: Chemicalkinetics
Food sticking on a knife is an annoyance as you say. And if you use a food processor, a lot of product will pack up on on side of the bowl as well. Patience and perseverance will eventually prevail. And ruining a meal? Who hasn't. We all have. That is why you never cook with a wine or beer that you would not drink.
Seriously, nothing and no one in this world is perfect. You will develop your own techniques for getting things done in the kitchen and they will be good, wonderful, and uniquely you. Enjoy the adventure.
re: Chemicalkinetics
Sometimes you just have to put yourself in the old timeout corner and settle down. Frustration makes a lousy sauce.
re: suzigirl
When you say "hollow edged", do you mean a hollow grind like this?
or do you mean something like this?
re: Chemicalkinetics
I mean the latter, not the hollow grind. It keeps an edge longer in my opinion.
re: suzigirl
Those hollows can also be called 'grantons.' They reduce resistance while cutting a little bit. Usually though, it's not super effective at keeping food from sticking to the blade - not as effective as the geometry of the knife that Chem linked to above in the second youtube video, for example. A minimal difference at best, for 99% of knives with grantons.
OTOH Glestain makes a knife that really exaggerates the effect of grantons and it is more effective in terms of keeping food from sticking to the blade.
I agree with chem that knife geometry can play a big factor, but you really have to go looking for knives that are made to discourage sticking - most Japanese knifemakers and pretty much all Western makers don't design a chefs knife that really uses geometry as a major way of preventing sticking. The easiest fix is to work on technique. The 'drawing cut' chem linked to above is effective. For other cutting motions, you can use the index finger of your off hand to reach over the spine and keep cut food from sticking and piled neatly. Or practice 'wiping' the blade by kind of tilting it against your cutting board without losing your rhythm.
Here's a vid that shows using your off hand index finger to help keep food stacked neatly. Look at about 0:35
That's a little slow and a bit awkward but you can do it faster and more smoothly with practice.
If I am chopping celery or carrots, I just keep going. Eventually I'll stop and flick the sticking food off, or "wipe" the blade against the board. If I am slicing cheese, then that's a whole different story. I just have to rinse the blade off in hot tap water in that case.
"Still ruin dinner about 50% of the time."
Define "ruin". Dinner still doesn't come out like I want it to often, but it comes out edible most of the time. At least that's what my knife says. :p
On topic, I splash my knife with a hit of water every here and then when cutting something sticky. Seems to work fine and it seems to make knife clean-up easier for me. Also seems to make the knife *seem* sharper, probably due to less sticking. Could be a placebo though. I should put out that I'm using a stainless knife, keeping water on your carbon knives may be a problem.
re: shezmu
For rice and sushi they use the water trick, don't see why it wouldn't work for other things, I'd suggest that as well. Potatoes and other starchy vegetables are usually the worst culprit, water keeps the starch from sticking to the knife as much. Keeping the knife moving forwards or backwards at the same time as down instead of straight down also helps to keep the food moving and give it more of a chance of coming off.
I would hate to eat the dinners I cooked 40 years ago now! Just keep on cooking. Cooking is a skill. And I note, that many of my children's generation haven't really learned to cook from their moms. So its like they start from scratch in their mid twenties. Five years from now, you will have a solid start on a life skill that you will keep developing throughout your life. And five years from now, your meals will be really good, almost all the time.
re: sueatmo
<I would hate to eat the dinners I cooked 40 years ago now>
Now, I know you are at least 41. :)
<And five years from now, your meals will be really good, almost all the time.>
I don't recall my meals taste really good after 5 years of cooking. :)
Try using a knife with a blade height that is shorter than the food your cutting. Or use a draw cutting stroke. As you draw the knife toward you, use the tip of the knife to cut the bottom portion of whatever you're cutting closest to you last. Keep the blade moving and elevate the handle slightly to finish the cut.
re: JavaBean
Good point about cutting with knives that are shorter than the food you are cutting. You can also use different parts of the blade to achieve the same thing (depending upon the knife shape). Towards the tip the blade is narrower than the heel, so you'll have different sticky issues.
I like the video of Salty that Chem linked to. He also has three interesting videos dealing with a variety of knives with different grinds to show how it affects food release. It won't help with your current knives, but it is illuminating nevertheless.

re: smkit
Thanks for posting those great videos. It's pretty amazing to see the effects of the different knife grinds on so many different knives.
Some additional things that I've noticed is foods don't stick so much with knives that tend to wedge / push the food away from blade, highly polished mirror like blade finishes seem worse than less polished finishes, and grantons don't seem to help.
re: JavaBean
Yeah, a 'wedgy' knife can be good for food release, but they stink when it comes to cutting large dense veggies. I have a hunter that I would say has a wedge geometry and I like using it when cubing meat. The geometry cleaves the meat nicely and sticks less than my thinner chef knives.
I also have a kids mini chef knife that I ordered from Japan. The wedge geometry surprised me at first, but when I tried it on a cucumber that my kid would cut, it worked really nice and the slices fell away. It struck me then that it would be better for kids as they wouldn't be trying to pull stuck food off a blade with delicate tiny fingers.
re: smkit
The current consensus logic over at the knife forums (which is notoriously subject to change) is that there is a kind of mythical sweet spot that balances thinness at a knife's edge (and thus low resistance when cutting) and thicker convex geometry in the lower part (edge side as opposed to spine side) of the knife (thus helping with food release) that makers should strive for.
Personally, I suspect there's always going to be a trade-off between cutting resistance and food release, though there are certainly ways to enhance food release without make a knife super thick and wedge-y. The shame of a lot of thicker, western-made knives is that they aren't designed to enhance food release, even though that could be a major upside of their geometry, given their thick sturdy edges.
re: cowboyardee
Fully agree on the trade off. I have one of the Ealy's in the 'grind' videos above and it has that type of grind. At first the chunkiness of the blade was off-putting, but I have come to appreciate it for it's food release. I have a custom suji coming in this week too with an 'experimental' grind that also plays with this exact trade-off.
re: cowboyardee
Agree. Whatever works. The things is that it is a very difficult tradeoff to optimize. Not only everyone has different preference, but every food is different.
The grind required to get potato to not stick to the blade is different thatn that of a lettuce, and the grind required to slice through a potato without wedging resistance is different than that of a lettuce.
There just isn't a perfect grind for everyone and every foods.
re: JavaBean
One way to think of it is in terms of the face side of a yanagiba - it uses multiple bevels to form an edge face that functions like it was convex (though it uses multiple flat bevels instead). This allows you to cut fish very thin without risking that it sticks and is then deformed by peeling it off the blade - it pushes food away from the blade surface.
Now, a gyuto that has good food release uses some of the same principles; the geometry isn't the same, but it's a lot easier to find a diagram of yanagiba geometry than it is to find a diagram of a gyuto whose geometry emphasizes food release:
ETA: in one of salty's videos, Carter's funyaki performs well in terms of food release. I believe this is because that knife has some geometry in common with a yanagiba.
re: JavaBean
Below is an image from KnifeForums of different grinds. The flat grind tends to be sticky and wedge, where the convex on the right less so. In Salty's videos up thread the Delbert Ealy blade that performed very well is sort of like the scandi grind but the last lower part where it tapers to the edge is convexed much like the slight curve in Cowboy's image (but on both sides). It tends to cleave the food more. BUT if the blade gets too thin you lose the ability to have that pronounced curve near the edge. The Ealy blade is a bit 'planky' on top so it doesn't slice like a laser, but it is very good for food release. Once again, the trade off.
re: JavaBean
It doesn't have to be thick at all -- not like a yanagi. The convexing is really subtle. Check out this picture.
re: JavaBean
Hi, javabean:
Yes and no. I think The truth is that blades that are truly convex from spine to edge are pretty rare. Most "convex" bevels are forged nearly flat (tapered, of course) to relatively near where the final edge will be and then made more convex by judicious and artful grinding.
So, 'yes' if you want enough effecive convexity to run near full-height and push the food off. But 'no' if the convexity is short. The difference is measured in hours standing at the wheel--grind, quench, wipe, look until your spouse threatens divorce.
Or maybe I misunderstood your meaning. What do you consider thick?
re: JavaBean
<But, putting a convex bevel (that extends up the side of the blade) on a double bevel knife requires a sort of thick blade...right?>
Some level of thickness is required, but it does not have to super thick. Then, there is a trade off between how convex you want vs how thin the overall blade to be.
re: smkit
Thank guys. It took me awhile, but I think I finally get it. "wink, wink, nudge, nudge,"
SMKIT, the picture helped a lot. At first, I thought it was some sort of ½ blade scandi grind, but could see the convexing with my reading glasses. The hump is really subtle.
kaleokahu, I've always affiliated convex grinds to outdoor knives and was envisioning a more pronounce hump that would require a blade as thick as German knife. I've done it once to a pocketknife via sandpaper & a mouse pad. I'm not sure it would work on my thinner blades and wouldn't want to try it a longer blade without some sort of powered tools.
Chemicalkinetics, I get your comments now, and agree there's going to some tradeoffs.
re: JavaBean
Yes good points. I'm playing with a Tojiro Shirogami 150mm petty. Cute little knife that takes a wicked edge and is a bunch of fun to use as well as being inexpensive. Food flies off the blade and I find myself chopping much faster through onions and small vegetables.
re: scubadoo97
I've read a lot nice things about Tojiro white. I'm curious about the kritisuke knife and hoping they'll come out with a sujihiki. How's the reactiveness to onions?
I have a Tanaka blue petty. Although it needed some refinements at first, I really like the mini-me gyuto shaped blade. Aside for some slight resistance from the spine, it cuts so effortlessly. I don't notice any wedging or food sticking issues. Plus the blue steel takes an incredible edge.
re: JavaBean
The reactivity with onions is pretty nil. I'm getting no discoloration. Not sure if I let them sit on the board for an hour if they would show some.
re: scubadoo97
That's good to know. I find the Damascus cladding on the tanaka to be a pita. It looks nice, but w/o a patina it does funny things to acid foods. Eventually, I'll grow tired of trying to preserve it and just let it patina.

The biodynamics of knowledge creation : an archaeological, behavioural and neurological account of the creation of human knowledge
Christie, Warren James Alexander
Date Issued:
This thesis explores phenomena surrounding the creation of knowledge, employing a multidisciplinary approach. To start with a view on the physical location of knowledge is discussed. This helps highlight the problem of defining knowledge and simultaneously introduces a set of fundamental and conceptual questions about the phenomena surrounding the creation of knowledge . The set of questions are then focussed on the process of knowledge creation. The investigation starts in the field of archaeology, in particular at the dawn of modern civilisation, with views on the earliest forms of knowledge creation. From there the investigation moves on to aspects of contemporary neurology. This allows for a comparison between humans from the ancient past with humans of today thereby identifying a neurological link between these periods. Based on current research within the field of behavioural neurology it is posed that knowledge creation is a process initiated by the impact of electromagnetic fields on the brain. A review of the medical research within the neurological sciences on the effects of electromagnetic field stimulation shows it to be effective as a treatment modality, a behavioural modifier, a suppressor and facilitator of cognition, as well as a sensory modulator. The interaction of the brain with electromagnetic fields is shown as a form of transduction similar to that of regular sensory transduction. Since the transduction of electromagnetic stimuli can functionally modulate sensory reception, cognition, behaviour and some neurological conditions, the creation of sensory perception, cognition, behaviour and neurological conditions (all phenomena surrounding knowledge creation) can be shown as functionally dependant on the electro-chemical process of ferromagnetic transduction (magneto reception). The ferromagnetic transduction model may then be seen as the sensory mechanism that initiates and modulates the process of knowledge creation. The modulation of this process is revealed cognitively in savants, behaviourally in some of the greatest thinkers in history and on a planetary scale as a force of nature. The implications of these findings is that if the keys to the creation of knowledge have been found, great care needs to be taken when deciding to implement any type of artificial or natural modulation to neural firing rates not only because of the total effect modulation can have on the individual but also because of the social consequences resulting from those who wish to socially discriminate according to the ability of and beliefs arising from the knowledge creating process.

I was born in Iran. The political landscape there was not something I agreed with or felt I could change. I came to the United States to go to school. I've met many nice people here, but after 9/11, for some people, anyone of Middle Eastern origin represented the face of the enemy. I had many unpleasant experiences. Without knowing my beliefs, people would hate me just from looking at my face or seeing my last name.
At Kripalu, I heard comments from the teachers like, "Thank yourself for being here." There was the utmost care and compassion for yourself. That's what I needed to heal myself, the utmost compassion. Also, having compassion for the people who hated me for things I had no responsibility for. I learned to take the seat of the observer, instead of taking the seat of the judge and saying this is right or wrong.
Before Kripalu, any kind of yoga I tried had been bittersweet. There were so many things I couldn't do. I thought, maybe my body is not made for it. When I came to Kripalu I could see that it's about doing what's good for your body. I learned there is no perfect Downward Dog. I began seeing yoga as a way to grow, and it's okay if I never have a perfect pose.

The first-year required curriculum incorporates health care cases and topics in many courses ranging from Marketing and Finance to Entrepreneurship and Strategy. This ensures that all students will understand the industry from various functional perspectives.
During the second-year elective curriculum, you may choose courses and field-based research specific to your particular health care interests. Some students also choose to cross-register for health care courses at other schools within the University.
Elective courses will vary from year to year. Typical HBS course offerings may include:
- Building Life Science Businesses
This course is intended primarily for students who have a career interest in either leading or investing in life science ventures (biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and medical devices). It will also be of interest to students who plan to work in Business Development functions either in or outside the health care sector.
- Entrepreneurship in Health Care IT and Services
This course is intended for students who have a career interest in leading or investing in companies in the health care sector, and are interested in how information technology can improve quality, efficiency, and access to health care. Students will be exposed to pure health care IT (HCIT) businesses, health care service businesses that rely heavily on IT to achieve their goals, and pure health care service businesses. Though the vast majority of these enterprises will be for-profit, the course will also examine the innovative role social ventures play in health care.
- FIELD Course: Commercializing Science
This course has evolved over five years to be unique among HBS electives as students are selected from Harvard's schools of business, medicine, science, engineering, law, public health, government, and teaching hospitals. The focus is on inventing breakthroughs, working with other professions such as science, medicine, and law, and moving research from the lab to the market place. A center piece of the course is a multi-disciplinary team project to create the plan for commercializing research from a university or private sector lab. Final presentations of the projects will be attended by Harvard faculty, alums and local venture capitalists.
- FIELD Course: Health Care Computer Assisted Innovations
In this field course, students will prepare a business plan and/or a prototype for a device or IT application. Prof. Herzlinger will lecture on the creation of a business plan and evaluations of new technologies and Prof. Seltzer will lecture on a variety of technologies and approaches to technological innovation. The remaining sessions will be devoted to individual weekly meetings between the faculty and student groups.
- Innovating in Health Care
This course has a global focus with cases studies set in Brazil, India, Spain, the U.K and the U.S. among other countries. For students interested in careers in entrepreneurial health care management, consulting and investing, this course will discuss how to successfully create entrepreneurial health care ventures. Students will be required to create a business plan that appropriately responds to the six forces that shape health care.
- Managing Global Health: Applying Behavioral Economics to Create Impact
Managing Global Health (MGH) trains students to see through the lens of the end-user and to use the levers of behavior change to generate impact in health and social programs. Although most of the applications are in global health, it is appropriate for students who anticipate working in health, education, or international development sectors, as well as those with a general interest in learning how behavioral economics can be effectively applied.
- Independent Projects
Students may earn academic credit by working independently or in teams as they conduct research and complete projects for health care organizations. This student-initiated learning enables students to choose their faculty sponsor and the organization where they will work. Recent projects include:
- Quantifying the size of the medical tourism market
- Identifying applications for multiplex protein analysis techniques
- Evaluating IT strategies for a startup health care organization
- Redesigning urgent care triage for a major academic hospital
- Developing a China business model for a large pharmaceutical company
Field-based Courses
Several unique "in the field" learning opportunities are offered to students to complement their on campus coursework. First year students participate in Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development (FIELD), which takes student teams to 15 countries around the globe to conduct research for a company in the host country. In 2013, FIELD Global Partner companies included health care companies such as Piramal Healthcare and Sundaram Medical Devices in India.
Second year students can take elective courses, many of which have the option of studying an industry- or country-specific topic with an HBS Professor in the field. Past EC field studies in health care have included:
- Health Care in China: Opportunities in Innovation and Integration
- Health Care: Science, Delivery, and Regulation
- India Immersion: Creating Opportunities in Health Care Delivery
- Innovations in Consumer-Driven Health Care
- Value-Based Health Care Delivery
Jan. 8, 2009
Cross Registration
HBS students may take graduate-level courses at several other schools within Harvard University. Courses at the Harvard School of Public Health, the Law School, and the Kennedy School of Government are popular.

Sigh, already have two copies - but I want to buy it for a digital library... just so I can play it again in several years without any flaws.
I´m game...again!
Please release it.
Found it in a bargain bin for 50p ... It runs flawlessly on Windows 7 32bit.
Almost abadonware I want to see restored. 4K HD graphics update addons can be found on the StarCitizen forum under the Freelancer section.
This would be a truly glorious addition to this site.
Been searching for a digital copy for a few YEARS....Please get this added, it would make my Xmas this year! Wish I could vote again.
Please add this classic space-sim. Would love to play it again.
Its a fun game. I even have the original disk but cannot get it to play, even though I am running XP. I assume it is because open GL was updated, what ever. Hopefully you can make this game available soon.
Please, for the love of all that great and awesome in this world, ADD THIS GAME GoG! As others have already said, there is still an active modding community (used to play Discovery before I lost the disc).
Please add this game! One of my absolute favourites, but sadly my CD died.
Would love to get that game legally. This option almost doesn't exist anymore...
I want this game really bad but there isnt any download anywhere :(
Hurry and add this game
Want Want WANT!
would very much like to see this game available on gog!
Freelancer is loads of fun and has an active multiplayer modding community that has been running public servers for over 11 years, and is still running them today. I highly recommend this game.
Just buy ID war 2. Better game in every aspect.
Count me in
Want it, want it, want it...
Nothing beats exiting a jumpgate having tons of major and minor enemy ships on the radar. I can feel the need to take evasive actions right now
Please give us Freelancer!
Freelancer is a MUST for people who love space sims. It still has a tremendous fan base even now. I'm very surprised it still isn't available on gog. What's up with that?
"We don't run this base, but we have an "arrangement" with the people who do" - make this possible GoG!!
Freelancer pleeeeaaaaseeeee! I would buy at least like 5 copies, mostly as gifts for people I know!
GOG, you are looking at a LOT of money to come your way if you add this game. Come on, make it happen.
Although it's nowhere near a confirmation, this might be a glimmer of hope for a new era for Freelancer... http://steamcommunity.com/app/287450/discussions/0/540743212549106344/
This would be an awesome Game to finally have on GOG
One of the games I would LOVE to see on GOG.
Come on, get Freelancer on here, it's an amazing game!!!
GiveFreelancer plz ...is the best game ever
Yeah, I'd also love to have a digital copy of this!
I would love to get a digital copy to backup my CD copy
If this game gets added I would buy it in a heartbeat.
The first time i got this i was young i think around the age of 15 or 16 i used to go to my grandparent's house with my copy of freelancer and just play while i ate chinese :3 bring this game back. (it kinda sucks there was never an official sequel) also can't wait for star citizen to fully come to linux
Please GOG, get these games!!!!
A universe that dragged me in when i frist played, and i still do. Will also drag YOU in. Digital download, make it possible!
One of my favorite games. It "works" on Windows 7 but i always having a crash when i get to New London, every.. freaken.. time! My Lord GOG your people cry out for justice!
I want my Freelancer, now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Freelancer, please!
Please add Freelancer!
GOG, add this game... PLEASE !!!
Voted and supported. Surprised both this and Starlancer aren't already here!
Created an account to vote for this, for the love of whatever deity you worship, please make this game available.
You'd be the only place online to have it and by the looks of the votes, you'd be making a mint. Please seriously consider releasing this game so the only option isn't illegal downloading.
Bring us Freelancer ::bangs on table::
We wants the redhead...I mean Freelancer!
Why has GOG not released this game yet!? A MUST HAVE!
must.... have..... this...... game !!!!!
This game was fun! WTB
Perhaps there is still a tiny chance that MS will bring this masterpiece to life since it has been resurrecting some titles like Rise of Nations or Age of Mythology so there is still hope...
came looking for freelancer digital purchase, saw that ppl are requesting it here, having already purchased from here with zero issues I definately agree that you guys here at gog.com need to try and get your hands on selling rights for freelancer!
Crossfire 2.0 is almost finished. 31 new quests for SP + tons of new contents for SP and MP. Who cares about Star Citizen, Elite or the shitty X Rebirth? We want Freelancer now. It is only 1 wish, 1 game, if you care about the community, you get somehow this game on the legal market. It´s so hard? 13 824 votes are waiting.
This is a game I'd pay 10USD or even more for on the day it is published. This game really needs to be preserved forever in DRM free installer form.

BT outsources international network ops
BT will outsource 500 staff from its Design and Operate units to Alcatel-Lucent in a seven-year global deal. Staff were told on Monday that the contract is in the planning stages. Most of the jobs to be transferred are overseas, related to the networks picked up by BT Global Service in its acquisition spree. BT sent this …
Gotta love those revolving doors
Ben Verwayeen (?spelling) goes from top man at BT to nice cushy job at Alcatel.
BT Retail CTO Stratis Scleparis (in charge at the time of the phirst denied Phorm trial) gets a nice cushy job as CTO at Phorm.
First against the wall when the revolution comes (after the lawyers and accountants and headhunters-turned-journalists).
NuGov politicos are first along with lawyers and the filth that support banning freedom of expression. Then we can move onto the others.
Foist against the wall
Beats me that outsourcing should be allowed. So now the French own all our nuclear plants and ex GPO facilities?
The USA P0WNed our banks and now some commie regime in Russia or China is about to pounce on them. What's left for the hi tech banditos to screw us out of?
Let's see... helicopters and guns that don't work. -Well at least that's better than the once cutting edge British submarine industry with its one way submersibles.
I'd like all company directors who ship even the most menial work abroad shot. Then all the company directors with no excuse for failing companies shot so they get the right idea.
Then the occasional company director shot once in a while, just to keep them occupied at work instead of pissing it away or golfing off early.
its just another method
of BT avoiding being tagged a monopoly
what no Nortel?
I'm a little bit suprised at this as BT seem to be pushing Nortel equipment mainly now....
Not waht it seems
Nice to see the usual ill informed rants.
From what I've heard it is LEGACY networks that will be outsourced. That is PDH, and maybe SDH. The various IP networks will continue to be managed by BT.
Anon, cos the e-mail ends bt.com......
need a BT line for all other telecoms isnt a dumb down meaning for the $+0o91d, landline that isnt fiber and cable fiber. it really means you need a BT line
get cut off cos you dont pay your bill. you have to move to a cable area, if you dont. you`ll soon get aload of junk mail from BT telling you to come back to them. when they wont give you back a phone
so bless when 5g arrives, only need a landline for dvd downloads

If you didn't get to see the Winston-Salem Theatre Alliance's summer production of Miss Saigon, which we were excited was sold out for many of the 14 performances, then don't worry, but I still wanted to share some of my thoughts, observations, and reflections about some of the scenes in this 12-longest running Broadway musical!
(And, I also wanted to share an acoustic song I wrote, called "A Million Things," about the struggles between an American GI and a Vietnamese bar girl that take place during "The Heat is On in Saigon" bar scene).
I learned and grew a lot in this challenging role of Kim and have tried to relate to and express her many struggles (internal and external), both subtly and dramatically.
This was an exciting opportunity for me to perform–with both singing and acting–and I have really worked hard on expressing my innermost feelings and emotions, based on thoughts I have had related to some experiences in the past.
In a myriad of conflicts, during the Vietnam War, the musical Miss Saigon tells the story–over a 3 year period–of a 17-year-old orphan from a remote village in the country.
Kim, the lead character I explore, finds herself in a seedy night club setting, where the Engineer shamelessly promotes her as "new and fresh from the country…
Legs unparted; parts uncharted," and she gradually adapts to a notoriously sleazy lifestyle of selling amor.
She begins to fall in love with an American GI, named Chris, whose friend has eagerly bartered for "the girl in the dress."
And, what begins with a cheap barter for Kim, made by Chris's friend John, Kim is brusquely handed over to Chris and, awkwardly, they slow dance together.
Her offers her some cash, but she refuses, and gracefully takes his hand. They continue onward, into the night, and a connection develops. And, they can't help but feel that there is a special love that lingers on into the dawn…
After an intimate night with Chris, Kim sleeps soundly, while Chris consorts with God in "Why God Why," belaying his affection for her and also his immense struggle–not wanting to leave Saigon with such bad memories of his time there–yet also remembering the beauty of the girl he met there and the smell of her "cheap perfume."He is enamoured by the brilliant flame of their love on "a night like this."
Waking up to a handful of money, Kim feels groggy and confused about Chris's dutiful payment.
She knows to expect this as typical, but feels strongly that there is something much more to their love.
Chris expresses to her that many girls he has been with in Vietnam have longed to flee the country to go to America, and Kim has a vivid flash back of when her remote village was devoured in flames and "her parents were bodies whose faces were gone." She tearfully recounts this painful experience, as Chris is moved and tries hard to console her.
Kim grabs the traditional Vietnamese dress and her sandals by his cot and rushes towards the door to leave, but he catches her by the shoulders and asks her if she can meet him again that night, but with her eyes downcast, she replies that she'll be at the place she always has to be, but hates…"the club, selling beaucoup amor."
Chris is upset by her dismay for returning to this lifestyle and doesn't want her to be there at all and sits her down on the bed.
They exchange their love tenderly, in "Sun and Moon," where they notice "Day starts to dawn," as the couple heads up the stairs towards the balcony. "The birds awake," Kim glances down, as her "hands still shake," and they "meet in the sky!"
The conversations between John and Chris convey a struggle in the "Telephone Sequence," as John urges Chris to leave Saigon, and simply can't understand why Chris is so attached to the "Konghai whore," he had originally bartered for. John is gravely concerned that his buddy's life is at stake.
But, Chris urges him that he is in love and that "she's no whore; she's really more like the April moon."
The Engineer, a colorful main character, who is in charge of the performers at the night club, sleazily tries to bribe Chris with a Rolex watch in exchange for a Visa to go to America with and takes Chris's "six weeks income and is gone in one."
The scene shifts, as candles on the altar are lit. Champagne is poured into slender glasses, and Kim's Vietnamese friends arrive.
The friends bless their marriage, singing "Dju Vui Vai" to the newlyweds, praying and drink a toast to the new couple.
Clink! The glasses are raised high into the air, as two unwelcomed guests slip in and appear at their gathering, startling the crowd.
Thuy, Kim's cousin and former husband, enters with the armed Assistant Commissar and reminds Kim of their unrelenquished love that he wants so desparately to renew.
Thuy menacingly draws his weapon, threatening her and her American husband, who he views this foreign American man as a threat.
Shadows fall. "The Morning of the Dragon" becomes the Fall of Saigon, as soldiers of the Northern Vietnamese Army march in and perform a terrifying frenzied dance.
Soldiers, tiger dancers, and flag bearers pour in, flashing by like a streaks of lightening, "and in the white heat of dawn were gone."
In "I Still Believe," two women in two different worlds–of the East and West– convey their struggles to maintain a lasting bond with their Chris, who feels trapped between two relationships (one that is "here and now" and one that has been left behind).
After Kim dutifully finds some work cleaning, she finds that the Engineer has tracked her down, and in "Coo Coo Princess," the Engineer tries to lure her back into the strip club lifestyle she left.
Her jaw drops, and she is dismayed to find that the Engineer has actually lead Thuy to her.
Thuy takes her hand and reminds her of the vows she made to her father that bound them in their former marriage, trying desperately to convince her that he can rebuild her life and fulfill the vows their fathers made.
Having moved on from a difficult separation from her last husband Chris, Kim refuses.
Thuy's temper rises into a passive aggressive fury, as he ushers in several armed soldiers from his army to patronize Kim and the Engineer and hold them hostage.
Held at gun point, the soldiers throw them to the floor roughly, belittle them verbally and blindfold them both…
Cowering and shaken, the Engineer and Kim are left there to their own devices and are somehow able to remove their blindfolds.
Kim, with tears in her eyes, tells the Engineer that she has a husband she loves, "real as the sun in the sky," and says that she "cannot live with a lie."
Thuy rushes in, forcefully entering the scene again, and yells at the Engineer to get the hell out. Thuy reminds her of their fathers' vows that he wants to fulfill and conveys his longing to marry his bride, "bright as jade."
Kim pleads urgently to be left alone…And, with a distant gaze and soft smile, she expresses how she feels–about beautiful light that shines through the darkness from the very depths of her soul:
"Somewhere deep in my soul shines the smallest of lights, and no wind blows it out. It burns steady and strong…Through the darkest of nights."
Enter: Kim's and Chris's son, Tam, who soon becomes the apple of Kim's eye…and her main motivation for going to America.
After an intense struggle with Thuy–Commissar of the Northern Vietnamese Army, who she was once betrothed to in an arranged marriage at age 13–she ends up killing Thuy, in a desperate scramble to protect her own child…and shaken, flees from the scene.
Kim's love for her son is powerful, and she becomes very protective of him, as Thuy's fury is unleashed and he becomes violent with her and her young boy. She defends her child, who is her "only joy," and draws the gun she got from Chris.
The gun falls hard with a dramatic thud, as her heart and all time seem to stop…Struggling to stand up with weak knees and catch her breath, she covers her mouth in horror as Thuy falls, dying, to the floor.
She rushes over to her son Tam, trying to cover his eyes. As Thuy gasps a last few breaths, Kim is in a vulnerable state of desperation and is feels at odds with what has happened. Her delicate body drapes over him, as tears fall from her face and she realizes what she has done.
Thuy's body is carried off into the distance, and Kim and Tam run off of the stage in distress, now, in two very different realms.
This scene and the very tragic ending were some of the most difficult parts of the musical for me to experience emotionally.
I truly thought about how devastating it would actually be to have to protect your child's life and your own and end up taking someone else's life–also realizing this child had seen and heard everything.
It's hard to fathom, and when I thought about how much she and Thuy had been through, I was deeply moved by these feelings, allowing the natural buildup of heart-wrenching emotions to swell and for real tears to fall…like a poignant rain from the sky.

MANHATTAN BEACH, Calif.--Long ago--I'm talking in the 1960s--"stewardesses" were taught how to walk up stairs in heels and how to blow out a match after lighting a passenger's cigarette. They were issued pillbox hats and little white gloves. Their glamour was a big part of the allure of airline travel.
But when passengers reminisce about those good old days, I remind them that barely anyone could afford to fly then, and then I might point out a colleague and say, "Remember the stewardesses back then, the ones in hot pants and go-go boots? Well, there's one right over there. Still flying."
Hard to believe, I know, but these days flight attendants are allowed to grow old and gain a little weight. As long as we can still fit through the exit window, buckle our seat belts without an extension, and, most important, pass the yearly training, we can fly as long as we want.
I've been a flight attendant for a major carrier for 18 years, and I've seen a lot of changes in that time. But nothing changed my job more than 9/11. Since then, at yearly training we focus more on safety and security than service. We're taught karate. We talk about throwing hot coffee at lunging terrorists and other things I'm not at liberty to discuss. "This is not what I signed up for," I've often heard veteran flight attendants mumble during class.
At the same time, with turmoil in the industry and rising fuel costs--and, more recently, with the recession--airlines are more focused than ever on the bottom line. Flight attendants have taken multiple pay cuts. We've watched days grow longer and layovers grow shorter. Sometimes, with only the minimum required eight hours behind a hotel room door, it feels like there's not enough time to eat, sleep, and shower before we're back in the air.
Because airlines have cut back, flights are staffed with minimum crews. That's why we no longer roam the aisles during boarding helping passengers the way we used to. Things passengers took for granted, like pillows, blankets, and free meals, have disappeared. Back in the day, it wasn't unusual for stewardesses to get manhandled in the aisle. It still isn't, but now it happens more out of anger than attraction.

A review of the paleo cookbook, Well Fed including the chocolate chili.
You guys remember this chocolate chili stuffed squash? Remember how I called myself a cheater since the chili recipe wasn't mine and I basically gave you a recipe on how to cook squash and a link to the chili recipe and called it a day? Well, cheating was a good idea because Melissa, who created the delicious chili recipe, happened to read that post (see…good things come to those who link to the original source! sorry-huge pet peeve there) and got in touch with me about a potential review & giveaway of her cookbook, Well Fed. Without trying to sound like soooo cool (because I'm not), I get emails every day from companies, PR firms and random other spammy sounding sources constantly trying to get a blogger on the hook to do a review of whatever they're pushing. My most recent was sunglasses. Because obviously, that's what this blog is about. Um, delete. So it was nice to finally say "yes!" without hesitation. Well Fed had actually been on my list of cookbooks to buy anyway after hearing rave upon rave review of the paleo recipes in it.
I totally get that this is like the worst giveaway timing. It's too late to be considered a Christmas present and I'm posting this on the weekend leading up to Christmas when there's probably all of 3 people reading this while the rest are schlepping through the mall. At least I know the winner will get to keep it for themselves and be a dedicated reader I guess? Ha.
If you follow me on instagram then you've seen that I've made quite a few of the recipes from this book already. I actually took the time to read it from front to back before cooking anything because there's quite a bit of good information up front before Melissa even gets into the recipes. From basics on the paleo way of eating to guidance on food shopping and meal prep in order to be successful eating this way to paleo pantry essentials and even some basic "hot plate" ideas which aren't really recipes as much as they are pairing ideas for those nights you don't want to follow a "recipe" and would rather just throw something together real quick. It's a great balance between a paleo reference book and a cookbook.
I've made all the recipes in those photographs (as well as others) and I kid you not when I say two of them were life changing (the others were stellar too).
1. Citrus Carnitas. You guys know my very well documented love of carnitas. I think it might actually be my "last meal" dish of choice. So I was psyched to try this version out and even more excited when I realized I had 3.65 pounds of pork butt in my freezer just waiting to be carnita-fied. The method and directions will totally have you second guessing the outcome (she likens the process to watery meat soup and it's spot on) but in the end all I can say is OMFG. Yes, the F is necessary. They will rock your world. And then you'll end up eating 3.65 pounds of pork butt in the span of 6 days and be totally disgusted with yourself. It's fine, it's worth it. I promise.
2. Mashed Cauliflower. Sounds basic right? It is, but up until this recipe I've never been a fan of the faux-potato approach with cauliflower. This is the recipe that changed that. It's simple, it's ready in a matter of minutes and it's got an awesome flavor profile that manages to give mashed cauliflower it's own identity instead of standing in the shadows of the big bad white potato.
I think a lot of people hear the term "paleo" and think "boring". Like they're going to be forced to eat steamed vegetables and lean proteins with no flavor or something for every meal. But it totally doesn't have to be that way. I love that every recipe in this book is relatively simple but the flavor combinations take whatever the main ingredient is over the top. Whether you eat paleo or not, the recipes are delicious and approachable and everyone can use a cookbook like that on their shelves!
So you want a copy now?
The Giveaway: US & Canada residents only. The giveaway will be open until Monday, December 24th at midnight (just call me Santa). One winner will be chosen randomly and emailed. Winner will have 48 hours to respond otherwise a new winner will be chosen. Giveaway is now closed.

Czech MEATBALLS!
The picture on Mel's page looks amaz-zing!
Aaand because picking just one thing is very hard… I'm going to have to also request anything for breakfast!!!
I love desserts and breads so I'd really like to try a recipe along those lines. I've found an interesting paleo banana bread recipe that I should try soon!
I'm a fan on FB!
I love chocolate chilli Gina, and the squash boats. Feel free to steal any of my recipes with a link back.
Merry Christmas
The paleo foods I would like to try are pancakes, waffles, and granola that can also be used as cereal. I miss all of those things. I love my eggs for breafast but need variety.
I have been thinking about switching to the paleo diet (maybe after the holidays). It just sounds so complicated but these recipes don't look so bad!!
I really want to try the chocolate chilli…sounds so different but so delicious!!
Now I want to try that cauliflower!
I've tried the cauliflower mash. It was AMAZING! If I win this book, I'd try the Shepherds Pie using cauliflower mash… or maybe switch it out and use sweet potato mash. Now I'm starving. Thanks a lot.
Cauliflower mash sounds amazing!
I liked your fb page!
I'm excited to see a new Paleo cookbook. I've just started cooking Paleo. I want to try the Shephard's Pie from this delicious-sounding cookbook!
I have tried your Paleo Chocolate Chunk cookies and can't get enough of them!
mm cauliflower! i'd definitely want to try the mashed cauliflower!
I've been meaning to make cauliflower rice forever, it looks great!
I don't even know what paleo diet is about, so I guess, I'd like to try any paleo food… :)
Those citrus carnitas sound really, really intriguing! I want to give them a shot. :)
The carnitas around great!
To be honest, I know nearly nothing about paleo cooking, so I'm not sure what I'd make. The mashed cauliflower sounds good, though.
I would love to try some paleo desserts they always look do good and easy to make!
I would love to try paleo pad thai using spaghetti squash.
I'd love to try paleo bread…I have such a hard time not eating something carby
Would love to have this book. Love. Unfortunately, I'm not on twitter or FB, so I only have one entry…but better than no entry at all!
Lots of stuff I'd like to try I think…currently trying out ome paleo banana breads and looking for a low-cal one that is really really good and not too expensive!
Curious if you eat ONLy organic, etc…the place where I live has ZERO of that stuff and i'm financially strapped. Thoughts?

New colors, a free trunk shelf and, uh, an ionizer. Not mind-blowing stuff, but they are some of the goodies available soon to buyers of the Tesla Model S battery-electric sedan. So say the fine folks at Teslarati.
The California-based automaker is offering an Alcantara headliner upgrade for a tidy $1,500 while widening its choice of colors to include a darker metallic grey. Beyond that, there's the case of the trunk "parcel shelf," which was once a $250 add-on but may become standard equipment. Tesla buyers may also have the option of getting an ionizer, which, for those of us that are scientifically challenged, is a feature in which positive and negative ions are emitted to eliminate bacteria from the vehicle. You will be tested on this later.
Tesla is adding these features just as it's coming off yet another record quarter for both sales and production. For the three months ended June 30, Tesla delivered 7,579 vehicles while building a record 8,763 cars. Tesla says it expects to deliver 35,000 vehicles in all of 2014, Tesla said late last month, which means the company's quarterly delivery rate should hit about 10,000 by year-end and then 25,000 by the end of 2015. That means a whole lot of positive and negative electrons. And free trunk shelves.

Claw Fighter (4e Feat)
From D&D Wiki
Claw Fighter
Your claws are weapons.
Prerequisite: Gnoll, Fenrirborn, Wolfborn, Kattin, Telia Catfolk, Hito-Neko, Skum, Catkin, Rakshasa, Iejirisk, Pandaemonata, Incubi, Spikean, Succubus
Benefit: Your claws are melee weapons with which you are proficient. You have two sets of claws, one in each hand. Each set of claws is a part of the light blade weapon group, deals 1d6 damage, has a +3 proficiency bonus, and has the off-hand property. When you are holding an item in one of your hands, you cannot use the claws in that hand to attack. You can enchant and disenchant your claws. When you disenchant your claws, they do not turn to dust. If you are a monk, then your unarmed attacks are increased by one die size (d4 becomes d6, d6 becomes d8, etc.) rather than your claws dealing 1d6 damage.

I ordered two of then so I could flank a large vase I have. They are even nicer than the picture. The finish is excellent with just the right amount of shine.
Described in the adverstisement as "finished in lustrous silver and antiqued with hints of black and copper"!!! Picture shows shining silver figurine. It was actually a dull gun metal grey and is already on its way back to your Organization for refund. Very disappointed.
I love this ! I personally got 2 and they are amazing ! The coolest rendition of tribal zebra I have seen and I have LOVED Zebras for over 50 years !
