FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: July 2, 2008
Schumer Pushes To Give Corning Incorporated Tools Needed To Off-Set Rising Costs Of Producing Carbon-Intensive Goods And Help Keep A Competitive Edge In Global Market
Corning Incorporated Has Long Been a Hotbed for Technological Innovation and Economic Development but Foreign Competition Under a Cap and Trade System Could Hinder Growth and Development Schumer Provision Would Compensate American Companies For Increased Costs of Producing Carbon-Intensive Goods - Offset Higher Prices and Even the Playing Field Schumer Visits Corning's Sullivan Park Research Center with Local Leaders and Pushes to Ensure Upstate Companies Can Thrive in Increasingly Global Market
With companies across Upstate New York struggling in the face of increasing global competition, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today visited Corning Incorporated's Sullivan Park Research Center and touted a provision he introduced to the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act of 2008 to ensure that manufacturers like Corning can remain competitive in a globalized market once the United States implements a cap and trade system for carbon.
"From the glass envelope that brought affordable lighting to the masses, to television tubes that changed the world of entertainment and education, Corning Incorporated has consistently brought the Southern Tier and all of Upstate New York to the very edge of technological innovation," said Schumer. "At a time when we have to get serious about reducing carbon emissions across the globe, we have to be sure that there are some simple provisions in place to protect companies like
"Senator Schumer's sponsorship of the export amendment to the climate change legislation will help ensure that
Corning Incorporated, headquartered in
However, once the
While the need for comprehensive legislation to reduce GHG emissions and tackle climate control is dire, Schumer noted today that simple provisions can be put into place to ensure we protect jobs and the local economy across Upstate, as well as the environment.
Originally the climate change legislation proposed by the Senate earlier this year provided only minimal protection for these companies in the form of "free allowances" for imports, but excluding exports. Companies could then sell these reserve allowances to compensate for the increased costs of producing carbon-intensive goods. With Corning, Inc. and similar companies depending heavily on exports for their continued success, Schumer authored an amendment to the legislation that would significantly offset the increased cost of energy for exported goods by providing allowances for imports and exports.
"By giving companies like Corning allowances for both imports and exports, we can off-set the higher price of carbon-intensive goods from the US against those manufactured in countries that don't regulate carbon emissions, and allow our absolutely critical manufacturers to remain competitive and thrive," said Schumer.
A cap and trade system for greenhouse gas emissions works by creating a financial incentive to reduce emissions. After an environmental regulator assigns a cap on emissions to a certain group of polluters, such as power plants, the cap is then divided into individual permits which dictate how much pollution one plant is able to emit. Individual companies are then free to buy and sell these permits in order to draw a profit, while cutting back on GHG emissions. While the system is proven to make major strides in reducing greenhouse gases, energy intensive companies that rely on carbon emissions to develop their products worry that the cost of producing these good will climb too high and they will not be able to remain competitive against manufacturers in countries without emissions limits.

In addition to traveling and competing, CSE members take great pride in getting involved with their community. "So many times our cheerleaders are out asking the community to support them, we think it is very important to be giving back," said owner/head coach Brooke Whitner, adding that the teams will be participating in several community service projects throughout the year.
Recently, the youths participated in a scavenger hunt, pairing up with a local food bank operating at Main Street Church in Walbridge. The cheerleaders split into three teams – red, white and blue, and walked around neighboring communities collecting donated items. The teams competed against each other to see who could collect the most items.
"In the end they were all winners – they were able to collect a total of 1,836 items," Whitner said. "The cheerleaders were very proud to be able to do something good for others and were very happy with their success.
They are in the process of planning their next project, and they are very excited to see how they can make a difference once again."

Alexander Ross "Recent Paintings"
Heretofore, Ross's approach has been to mold plasticine hunks, take photos of them, and then paint the results on canvas to create metastasizing alien forms that bridge a gap between abstraction and representation. His new work features a notable twist: realistic-seeming landscapes viewed from on high. Yet they are as recombinant as his previous work—a mash-up of Google Maps and images of the sky borrowed from the backgrounds of Surrealist paintings.
Alex Ross: Artist as Mad Scientist
by Marina Cashdan
This Friday a solo show by artist Alexander "Alex" Ross opens at David Nolan Gallery in New York. Ross is an artist that I feel has been largely overlooked. His paintings and drawings are intriguing oftentimes with a mischievous undertone--images that look as if they could be plucked from a science textbook (cells reproducing under a microscope) but equally elegant and understated, big in color and texture but soft in application. They are representational and at the same time abstract (meets sci-fi), and light-hearted yet equally complex. I sat down with the New York-based artist to talk about his upcoming show and the mad scientist nature of his practice.
Alexander Ross at David Nolan and Marianne Boesky
By David Coggins
As seen in an exhibition of paintings and collages at Marianne Boesky, and of drawings at David Nolan, Alexander Ross's depictions of mysterious forms create a world that defies logic and classification. Of all artists calling their work "Untitled," perhaps Ross does so with the best justification: he doesn't want to give anything away.

'Little Deuce Coupe' & other unique vehicles this weekend at EyesOn Design
Updated On: Jun 20 2013 02:20:23 PM EDT
In 1963, the Beach Boys released a song called "Little Deuce Coupe". The album cover featured a modified 1932 Ford Model B built & owned by Detroiter Clarence Catallo and customized largely by the famed Alexander Brothers shop in Detroit. This hot rod will be on display this Father's Day at the EyesOn Design Automotive Design Exhibition located at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores.
The "Little Deuce Coupe", a heavily modified 1965 Dodge A100 truck known as the "Deora", Chris-Craft boats, pedal cars, and plenty of other rare & classic vehicles will be on display Sunday.
The Deora, another Alexander Brothers creation, was created for the 1967 Detroit Autorama car show. This golden futuristic looking truck used the back hatch of Ford station wagon as a windshield/entry into the vehicle.
You've probably never seen it on the road, but you might have seen it in toy box! It was actually included in the original release of Mattel's die cast toy cars known as Hot Wheels.
The theme of this year's show is "Revolution over Evolution" so you can expect to see automotive designs that emphasize change.
The show is from 10 a.m.- 4:30 p.m. and tickets are $20. Active duty military with ID get in free. Children 12 & under get in free as well. Tickets will be available at the door or by calling (313)-824-4710.
If you're going, how about you share some pictures of these classics with the rest of us? Use the hashtag #CruiseTheD & follow us on Twitter @CruiseTheD for all your latest car cruising and classic car news.

SCHROONLAKE-The Easter Bunny will be hopping into Schroon Lake to help a local civic group help others.
The Town of Schroon Lions Club will sell chocolate bunnies April 9 and 10 and April 16 and 17 at the Schroon Lake Grand Union 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Easter Bunny will make an appearance each Saturday 10 a.m. to noon and each Sunday 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to meet children and have his photo taken with them. Parents should bring their own cameras, according to Lion DeeDee Cheviron, sale chairwoman.
Because the Lions are involved in eye-sight issues, the Easter Bunny will have a free pair of "bunny glasses" for each child while supplies last.
Milk chocolate and white chocolate bunnies will be sold for $4 each and sugar-free and dark chocolate bunnies will $3.
"We've been doing the chocolate bunny sale for years, however this is the first year that I am aware of that we've advertised it," Cheviron said. "For many of the locals it's a tradition. I put it out on our Facebook page as an event, and I'm starting to get replies such as 'It wouldn't be Easter around here if I didn't get one of the Lions chocolate bunnies (and one for myself!).'"
The Easter Bunny actually attended a March meeting of the Town of Schroon Lions Club.
"He made a surprise visit to help plan the up-coming chocolate bunny sale," Cheviron said. "He had some excellent ideas to make this the best sale ever."
The proceeds from the sale will be used to help fund Lions Club projects, including scholarships to graduating seniors, camperships to state Department of Environmental camp and the Boy Scout camp, ye glasses for the less fortunate, hearing aids, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and others. All money earned from Lions Club fundraisers is spent on charitable projects, Cheviron said.

Idaho environmentalists, feds spar over mega-loads
A federal judge appeared sympathetic to an environmental group's contention that the U.S. Forest Service can intervene to protect U.S. Highway 12's scenic characteristics from impacts of giant oil-equipment shipments.
U.S. District Judge B. Lynn Winmill told lawyers for Idaho Rivers United and the Forest Service Wednesday he'll issue a decision quickly, likely by week's end.
Idaho Rivers United argues the Forest Service should have intervened in 2011 when the Idaho Transportation Department allowed ExxonMobil to haul loads between Lewiston and the Kearl Oil Sands projects in southern Alberta.
Meanwhile, a Forest Service lawyer argues the case should be dismissed, in large part because the ExxonMobil loads have been completed via alternate routes.
Even so, the Idaho Transportation Department continues to issue permits for so-called "megaloads," as recently as last month.

Erectangles Lyrics - I Set My Friends On Fire
I don't associate
Myself with egotistical people,
That's why
I don't talk to myself.
Diabolical heat waves
Of ingenuity singe the back of our
Crouching necks, hauling towards our
Calloused selves then repudiates and wrecks
Then repudiates and wrecks
Asterisk, tisk, tisk. Gaping instruments are a health risk
Asterisk, tisk, tisk. Gaping instruments are a health risk
Can't seem to influence a single tier,
Posture here, is rigorously austere
Where's this offensive
Stench coming from
It's modern music's
Blistered leaking rectum
Morpheme hellion hangs by
Tail suspensions augmentation,
Even if I cut it off it will still move
To humor the slain motivation
Duties are to assure no asinine obstinacies
Roam these appellations,
Caterwauls aggrandizethe jittery sensation
Of cowardly trepidations

Lovey Dress
By Patricia
from Toronto
I ordered this in the stripe. The colours are beautiful, however, I found the dolman sleeve overwhelming on me. I have a large bust and instead of minimizing it, it emphasized it, which normally this does not happen with a dolman sleeve. I liked the dress very much, and disappointed I had to return it. I'm sure it will look very good on other people.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Could BB Be My Go-To Designer?
By FloJo
from Woodbridge
This dress is both elegant and comfortable! I've already worn it once and am looking forwarding to wearing it for two more times before the end of January. It's the perfect black dress for me, and I'm not easy to fit. Thank you Brian Bailey for your talent; your workmanship; and, most of all, outfits of such classic, affordable glam.

As much as it pains me to see how comparatively small NASA's budget is compared to the rest of the US federal budget, I'm still awed but what they strive for and can achieve. Think how crap our understanding of the universe would be if NASA didn't exist! Give them a bit more money so we can land a nuclear-powered laser-armed battle-bot on every planet in our solar system! :)

"No, as Elon Musk is proving, its the leaches who see the NASA budget as a gravy train."
Interesting point you make, I assume you have some citations you can link to to show how these "leeches" are using the NASA budget?
Also what Elon Musk is proving is that it is commercially viable to haul cargo into orbit. Do you think commercial viability has anything to do with going to Mars? There is not a company on earth that would bankroll such a massively expensive propostion without a CAST IRON guarantee of substantial profit in the medium term at most.

"Much as I confess I am fascinated by spaceflight, the technology, the moon landings, and would be thoroughly excited to see people land on Mars, it's going to cost a shitload of money and there really are better things to spend it on."

Department of Defense including Overseas Contingency Operations: 672.9
Department of Homeland Security: 55.4
National Intelligence Program: 52.6
As you say, better things to spend it on.

Iain M. Banks is/was my favourite author, RIP. (although i could never get into Feersum Endjinn truth be told)
Personally i would be very happy to live in a society run by benevolent AIs where, for all intents and purposes, everything you could ever want is free and there is a drone for everything. A couple of isses with that right now - we live in a scarcity-based economy which i cannot see changing in my lifetime and humans are far too arrogant, opinionated, self-absorbed, tribalistic, power-hungry, cruel and greedy to ever truly accept and embrace a Culture or Star Trek style post-scarcity society. IMHO of course :)
Mandela memorial. Yup, let's SNAP A SELFIE, say grinning Obama, Cameron
Re: Context is everything....
My apologies if I offended you, my comment was aimed at obnoxiousGit, not you! I should have worded it much cleaerer, i thought the implication was clear. I could tell immediately that you knew what you were talking about and was agreeing with you entirely. Please accept my apologies.
Re: Context is everything....
I agreee that MK's remit was violence against the State after the failure of the political process to make headway with the regime. And i also agree that in the 80's MK bombed soft targets which is terrorism, by which point Mandela had been in jail for almost 20 years. However obnoxiousGit stated that Mandela is a terrorist by his definition "Those who plan, and implement acts of violence deliberately designed to maim and kill civilians are terrorists." I have seen no evidence to support that Mandela planned acts of violence to deliberately maim and kill civilians.
I did use Wikipedia for my quote, but i have a far better source for Mandela's actions - my mum who was born in South Africa in 1948 and lived through the horrors of the apartheid regime up until the late 60s when she managed to escape to the UK. Her assertion is that Mandela targetted the government and infrastructure in his bombing campaign, not random civilians. And i'm far far more inclined to believe my mother who lived through that period in history than a random internet nobody shouting from his soapbox.
Re: Context is everything....
Your name is quite fitting it seems. If you bothered to find out about Mandela's history rather than tar him with your ridiculous accusations, you'd know the Mandela's campaign was against the infrastructure of the apartheid regime - military installations, power plants, telephone lines and transport links. These bombings were carried out at night to minimise civilian casualties, if fact Mandela himself stated that they chose sabotage not only because it was the least harmful action, but also "because it did not involve loss of life [and] it offered the best hope for reconciliation among the races afterward."
But hey, let's not have the fact he was fighting to free his (and my) people from a brutally oppressive regime disrupt your drooling slack-jawed dim-witted view of the world, just do us all a favour and don't breed.

Upcoming Holiday - Device Suggestions Please!
Upcoming Holiday - Device Suggestions Please!
Hi peeps,
In September i'm going for my holiday of a lifetime to Japan(!) which will basically be 3 weeks of touring the courtry photographing (and possibly filming) as much as humanly possible. I'm in need of a device with which to keep in contact with the outside world, upload pictures and video to Facebook etc and keep me entertained during the various journeys to, from and around the country.
My requirements are: must be fairly light as i'll be doing a fair bit of walking around, must have good connectivity (wifi, possibly bluetooth but most importantly either full-sized usb slots or full sized sd card compatibility for data transfer), a keyboard is a nice bonus but not a deal breaker, a good battery life, movie and game-playing capabilities and good storage (either internal or external).
The way i see it i have 3 options - a tablet, a netbook/ultrabook or a proper laptop. A tablet will be nice and light, cheapish, should have good battery life and decent entertainment but will struggle with connectivity and storage. A netbook will be light, cheap, decent battery, decent connectivity but crappy entertainment. An ultrabook will be light, ok battery, good connectivity, decent storage, decent entertainment but stupidly expensive. And finally a laptop will have questionable battery life, be fairly heavy but have good storage, connectivity and full-on entertainment.
I think i've rambled on long enough, does anyone have any suggestions? Hmm and while writing this piece i found this today: http://www.simplyacer.com/Acer_Aspire_S5-391_Ultrabook_1203454.html, whatdo you guys think? :)
Google shows off Project Glass augmented reality specs
Yeah, ooh aah, that's how it starts...
To anyone thinking this is a good idea (i'm looking at you bolccg), that' we'll all end up with AR implants or other such in-body tech, i HIGHLY advise you to watch one the Black Mirror series of dramas written by Charlie Brooker, particularly the one called The Entire History of You. If you still feel that same way after watching that then... well i guess there's no hope.
Oh and by the way, if any of you like watching X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent etc, i recommend watching the episode called 15 Million Merits. You'll never look at reality talent shows the same again!

The giant squid eats a bridge!
A scientist mixes coloured liquids for absolutely no reason!
This film is stuffed to the gills with so much incomprehensible ridiculousness as to render all other films ever made into potential oscar winners! Seriously you have to see it and even then you won't believe what you are watching :)
Australians safe from Mortal Kombat
Phew that's lucky!
For a minute there i thought australia's law makers maybe going a bit soft in their old age and turning into some kinda of left-wing tree-hugging liberal elite whose sole job is to corrupt the youth by feeding them japanese rape simulators and terrorist training games. But no! Rest safe people of Australia, your government has once again shown itself to be the world's only true bastion of incorruptibility, protecting your innocence with a vigour and zeal not seen since the Spanish Inquisition. Remember, they are doing this for your own good because, lets face it, you're all still children at heart and need to be told what to enjoy. Go enjoy Bondi Beach, leave the decisions to the adults aka the politicians.
I wish the UK was just like Australia! Please Mr Cameron, I'm too stupid and susceptable to know what's good for me! If i tell you what i'm thinking will you tell me if it break's the law? In fact wouldn't it be better if we all told you what we were thinking so you could reprogram us when necessary??

And he says that Google, Fackbook et al are at the behest of governements etc, whats to stop the US governement or any soverign state demanding the master keys to whatever encryption software is on these things in the interest of national security or they'll be banned from sale?
ISPs under pressure to control online porn
re: it's called parenting
You're absolutely right! The problem is, it's far easier for the parents to stick their head in the sand for a bit of peace and quiet rather than control their kids entertainment. So they'll give kids a pc for their room "cos my mate steve's dad got 'im one and i want one innit!", then they'll go buy them GTA 4 "cos keith down da road said it was well sick innit! straight merk dem fools innit blud!"
Then when their precious little mouth-breather goes off the rails it's everyone elses fault - the government, the schools, the video games, the internet, keith down the road and steve's dad. Cue Mrs frothing spittle-flecked outrage from Litttle Hatington writing to the Daily Fail, "Why won't they think of the children!!!" Knee-jerk from the Minister for Soundbites, "This is outrageous, we need legislation!" and the next thing we know there's some ridiculous attempt to randomly curtail a wide variety of liberties in the pursuit of a glowing redtop headline and some Sky News facetime.
And anyone with half a brain is standing there thinking, what... the... fuck?!?
Pay rises up thanks to recovery and inflation
re: Public sector pay "freeze"
Ah, the great public sector gravy train fallacy.
Yes most public sector workers do have a sliding scale when they join but i think you'll find that:
a) The increments, which average around 2%, lasts a maximum of 3 years so if, like me, you've been in your job for 6 years it's now a distant memory.
b) The majority of new jobs in the public sector are now fixed term contracts, a lot of them lasting 1 year. You don't get an increment when your contract finishes obviously.
c) In my council we got a 1.47% pay rise in 08/09. We got 0% in 09/10, 0% in 10/11 and will be getting 0% in 11/12 and 12/13. Coming out with figures like 6%-9% is just ludicrious in the extreme.
So please, before you start tarring everyone in the public sector as a work-shy layabout with their snout in a trough, actually try speaking to us first.
Nigerian perv scanners lay Lagos ladies bare
Nigerian officals are famed for their honesty...
When i was a youngster I went through Lagos airport with my father so i'm well aware of how seriously they take following the rules to the letter :P That particular time my father spent about 10 mins jovially chatting with the immigration official before handing him a saville row tailored shirt. We were swiftly ushered through with no regards to paperwork or anything silly like that. And on the way back he managed to "convince" them to allow him to carry the best part of a gallon of highly flammable palm oil as hand luggage for the flight home :P
So when the "outraged" offical says he'll go and deal with it what he actually means is he's pissed he didn't think of the idea first, now he's got to go and blackmail the security guards to both extort money and get preferential access to the nudie scans.
Paris, because you don't need a $100k perv scanner.
Flying gyrocopter jump-jeep gets $3m from DARPA
A.N. Other DARPA death-trap
Gotta love the death-tech boffinry's attempts to make killing american soliders even eaiser. Well, unless you're the poor sap in the back of that thing when it gets shot at. They just don't get it - flying cars will never work if you just tape a mini to a cessna and camo paint it. Ducted fans are getting there but still not right. A flying car should look like a car, not a frankenstein monster, and that will only happen when some genius cracks true anti-grav tech.
So never then. Damn :(
Airline ejects passenger for being hungry
Err i'll think you'll find in this borderline OCD age of flight security the LAST thing anyone would do is to joke about any aspect of airline security or police or anything. Judging by the fact he was immediately booked on the next flight rather than taken to some windowless office which happened to be "down a number of flights of steps" says this was just a misunderstanding imho.
Southpaws up in arms over iPhone 4
Also as a lefty
@Lewis Burgess
Lewis you are so wrong its frightening.
I think this is utterly ridiculous that such an obvious design flaw was missed in testing. And then the stunning arrogance of his holiness to tell me that i need to hold it differently or buy some stupidly overpriced rubber band to make it work properly is truly astonishing. And the fact that you are sitting here apologising for and making excuses for a mutli-billion dollar global company is frankly even worse.
I don't use phone cases, never needed one as i'm not a club-handed simpleton and i don't see why i should be required to buy one to use an iPhone 4. But hell if your happy holding the phone in the Apple proscribed fashion and buying a large variety of overpriced Apple endorsed peripherals to enable the product to work then you go right ahead. A fool and their money will always be parted.
IEEE names 28-year-old woman its new 'Face of Engineering'
And another thing...
I find it very interesting that all those racist bigots posting here are too scared to post with their real name. Obviously putting your name to your pissant little opinions makes your already shrunken balls shrivel a bit more.
So to all you people crying tokenism, political motivation and all the other pointless FUD arguments i ask you this:
Would you have preferred if some anonymous chubby white male with glasses was the new "Face of Engineering"? Does it somehow make it all less of an honour, less of a recognition of her abilities and more of a political statement because she has an african heritage and her sexual organs are on the inside? Or are you just thick?
No doubt she must have sucked her way to the top or used her drug-dealing, hood-rat, fried chicken-eating bro's to threaten the IEEE board into giving her this recognition. Because obviously anything else would just be preposterous...
Let me ask you a question and i would actually really like an answer to this: Exactly when will a black woman's success in a traditionally white male dominated field be seen as some thing other than politically movitated tokenism?

Ballmer mixed on Windows 7's success
Standard MacroBloat vitriol aside, by all the accounts i've read W7 is actually shaping up to be decent and XP is starting to feel a bit creaky. I have absolutely no intention of ever buying a Mac and i'll probably only ever use Linux on a netbook or as a server so for my standard box Windows, for better or worse, is where i'm at.
I'm sure i'll garner some hate for daring to appear supportive of M$, but i counter that by saying opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one :)
Japan torture flick sickens UK film censor
The signal to noise ratio is pretty high in this comments section.
@Sarah Davis
"Think about it, this kind of crap is one step away from the real thing, so ask yourself if you 'really' want to see this, and if the answer is yes then you are wrong in the head and need help (or secure isolation)."
I'm sorry but you are utterly incorrect with this statement. Saying that watching something is "one step away from the real thing" neatly avoids the fact that its a massive life-changing step and requires a person to actively decided to commit the act in question. And using your same logic on anything else of a disturbing nature shows just how flawed it is, e.g. i watched plenty of news and footage of the suicide bombings in Iraq - do i want to be a suicide bomber because of that? I actively sought out the footage of that iranian woman randomly executed during the recent unrest, which is quite possible the most saddening and disturbing thing i've ever seen - do i want to start shooting iranian women because of that? I've watched documentary footage of whales being harpooned - do i want to join some japanese whaling fleet because of that? I recently played a game on the PC where i used very realistically modelled weapons to shoot all manner of people - do i want to join the army and shoot foriegners because of that?
The answer to all those questions is a very obvious NO. Equating wanting to watch something disturbing or distasteful with wanting to mirror those same acts myself in real life is quite possibly the single most dangerous threat to freedom of speech and freedom of expression you can come up with. You may as well accuse anyone who watches a documentary about Hitler with wanting to become him. Patently ridiculous.
Oh and you completely missed the minor issue that, according to your logic the censors themselves should be locked up for wanting to do their job.

OMFG, what have you done?
Whilst i will admit that the old Reg site was a bit of a 3-legged pony and quite rightly has be led to the glue factory, i think the fixed width of the new site is unnecessarily restrictive and the 2 huge grey bars on my widescreen monitor are just plain ugly. Next the icons for the comments section are FUGLY in the extreme. They look like they were designed by a 10 year old with a drinking problem. Seriously, bring back the old and all will be forgiven! Oh and the new site banner is pretty meh too, the font's a bit too Daily Mail for my liking (thick and ugly if you were wondering).
All that aside i think the body of the site looks nice and readable, less a shotgun blast (or vomit splash) of stories everywhere, now much more newspapery :) The "Don't Miss" boxes could use a touch of colour too, grey is just so miserable a colour. And a better font.
Overall a 9/10 for effort but a 5/10 for results.
Sony pulls PlayStation 3 software update
Hmm EA (or your corner of EA at least) are considering dropping PS3 development? I'd be surprised if that happened as i've read a number of analyst analyses of the console market and they all say the PS3 will be outstripping sales of the 360 sooner rather than later. But then again analyst analyses is like saying military intelligence so who know what to believe :P And besides the really winner this time around is the Wii by a country mile but both MS and Sony pretend it doesn't exist :)
Anyway thanks for the word from the inside and as for have one of each on your desk... its a tough life :P
IMHO neither console is good enough for 1080p 60fps (True HD as Kaz likes to call it), the only thing which can do it is the PC :)
Ok i got a question for you, as an insider to the whole development game, can you give a no-bullshit. unbiased assessment of the potential of each platform? From my limited vantage point it seems that the Xbox is orders of magnitude easier to code for but the PS3 has more theoretical power but is much harder to unlock. Is that close to the truth?
Oh and when is the next SSX coming out??? :D
@AC Xbot
Well done! "PS3 fanboys = pwnt" Wow that's hilarious, you sir, truly have a towering wit and an unsurpassed command of the english language! However there are a few minor, nay trivial points that i'd like to make.
Xbox 360 RRoD we're due entirely to shonky manufacturing by MS, the console HAD to be sent back to MS to be fixed and it cost them $1 billion plus an awful lot of negative mainstream media coverage, hell it was on the BBC news a few times.
The PS3 "bricking" is not a bricking at all but a code conflict issue between the new firmware and a particular file or set of files stored on the HDD. It sure as hell aint gonna need a mass recall of consoles at the cost of vast sums of money, nor is it gonna be reported on anything other than tech sites.
The PS3 has exclusives which will generally stay exclusive to the console for it's entire life. Most Xbox 360 exclusives end up on the PC (where they are generally better with the excepion of Halo 1 & 2, both of which we're appalling conversions, and comparatively average compared to the vast array of FPS's on the PC.)
Now before you explode into a frothing ball of bile-filled hate and start flinging your poo around like a deranged monkey let me just say that the PS3 is FAR from perfect. The stupid SKU changes, the ridiculous "Oh we can do dual 1080p 60fps outputs" bullshit, the "we cant put motion-sensing and rumble together cos it's like hard and stuff" scandal, "that" Killzone 2 video and giant enemy crabs. Historically accurate giant enemy crabs :P
Bottom line is both consoles have their good points and their bad points, wibbling on like a slacked-jawed drooling yokel about how your e-peen is so much better than theirs makes you look like a gormless fuckwit.
Scareware runs amok on PlayStation site
@ Iain
I never said anything of the sort. What i asked was for the games AC had that we're exclusive to the Xbox, not the full list as i'm well aware of the 360's back catalogue. My point being, half the "exclusives" on the 360 will end up on another platform sooner or later, whereas that's rarely the case with PS3 or PC exclusives.
And WRT downloads vs bluray, you don't need to buffer bluray, if your HDD dies you don't lose anything and you actually own the media rather than renting from the download service :)
Re: Sony Fails Again
I'm interested AC, you must have a huge library of exclusive AAA games for your 360 and i'm sure you'd love to share that list with us... And while you're at it i'd be interested to hear about all the HD films you're streaming off the net, or are you downloading them then watching?

Babylon 5
No doubt Bab5 was an excellent sci-fi show but BSG is the best show of any kind on TV in the last 20 years. I'm a huge Star Trek fan (no i don't have any paraphenalia, but i do have a purple lightsabre, go figure!) have seen all of NG, DS9, Voyager and the abomination that was Enterprise and i can name precisely 4 episodes of all that Trek (Best of Both Worlds, Way of the Warrior, All Good Things, Sacrifice of Angels) that comes anywhere near the quality oozing from every BSG episode to date.

US school cheat hack suspect faces 38 years jail

Lewis Hamilton and friend targeted in computer blackmail plot
Why all the Hamilton Hate?
I don't understand this, why are so many people so vitriolic in their dislike of Hamilton? It's not his fault the media have made a huge circus of the fact he's the first black man to drive in F1, and like it or not he is a very very good driver, if still a little green around the gills. Schumacher was no different when he started, the raw talent was obviously there but just needed a couple of years to properly bed into F1.

DecadentWednesday, October 31, 2012
While in NYC, I treated myself to this bag by Decadent. It was the week before my 30th and while I wouldn't normally just splurge on a bag, I decided to go for it. You only turn 30 once, after all. I was so excited when the people at Decadent offered to send a matching wallet as a belated birthday gift, but I'm having a little trouble choosing a color. While these bags and wallets come in a million gorgeous colors, my current wallet is orange, so I'd like to go with something neutral.
Latte, powder, or black (which would match my bag). Your thoughts?
Have a safe + happy Halloween!

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- One of Thomas Edison's most famous and useful inventions could soon be banned in New York, which is considering legislation to halt the sale of incandescent light bulbs.
New York has joined California, Connecticut and Rhode Island in introducing legislation to ban light bulb sales and encourage the use of the newer, more energy efficient compact fluorescents, halogen lamps, or light-emitting diodes. Other states are considering a tax or surcharge on the bulbs. New York and several other states are requiring their agencies to replace incandescent bulbs with energy efficient ones.
The New York bill would prohibit sale of most incandescent bulbs by 2012.
Compact fluorescent bulbs use two-thirds less energy than standard incandescent ones and last up to ten times longer. It's estimated the savings for an average home is 200 dollars a year.

One of the hottest players on the PGA TOUR entering this week's TOUR Championship is Titleist Brand Ambassador Morgan Hoffmann. Hoffmann enters the season finale at No. 21 in the FedExCup Playoffs, and a win gives him an outside chance at securing the $10 million bonus that accompanies capturing the season-long points race. Entering the FedExCup Playoffs, Hoffmann was No. 124 of 125 players to qualify for The Barclays, which was contested in Paramus, N.J., just minutes from his childhood home.
Hoffmann made history over the last three weeks, becoming the only player ever to start each FedExCup Playoffs event outside the cut line and play his way into the next Playoffs event. He tied for 9th at The Barclays to vault from No. 124 to No. 73, followed by a T35 finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship that advanced him to No. 68, just inside the field of 70. At last week's BMW Championship, Hoffmann fired a course record-tying 62 on Saturday, followed by a Sunday 63 to help him finish third and move from No. 68 to No. 21.
Starting the Playoffs at No. 124, Hoffmann tied for the lowest ranked player to begin the FedExCup Playoffs and reach the field of 30 in Atlanta.
"It's a dream come true," said Hoffmann prior to a practice round at East Lake on Tuesday. "From the beginning of the season, this has been my major goal, to get to the finals. I put a lot of hard work in to it this year and it's finally paid off. I feel pretty good about myself and my attitude coming into this week is really positive."
So what has changed in Hoffmann's game plan over the past month?
"I've kind of gone back to the college mentality of playing with Peter Uihlein and Rickie Fowler, just messing around at Karsten Creek and going pretty much for anything," said Hoffmann, who was teammates of both at Oklahoma State before turning professional in 2011. "Kind of just trying to play like it's my home course every week. I haven't known the course at each stop we are at, but I am just trying to go out there and have fun."
What's in Morgan Hoffmann's Titleist Bag?: Pro V1x golf ball, 913D3 driver (7.5º), 913F.d fairway metal (13.5º), 712U 3-iron, MB 714 irons (4-PW), Vokey Design SM5 gap (52º), sand (58º) and lob (62º) wedges, Scotty Cameron Futura X putter
Hoffmann is one of 19 players in the field of 29 (one player has withdrawn) who will be relying upon a Titleist golf ball at the TOUR Championship, and one of 10 full product line Titleist Brand Ambassadors, more than any other competitor. Check out the field of Team Titleist below:

Titleist Brand Ambassador Louis De Jager managed difficult conditions and gusty winds to shoot a three round total of 2-under-par 208. De Jager secured his second career Sunshine Tour title with a par on the first playoff hole.
Let's take a closer look at the Titleist equipment De Jager used during his second career Sunshine Tour victory.
Golf Ball: Pro V1xDriver: Titleist 913D2 (10.5º) with Aldila Tour Green 65 X shaft, and SureFit Tour Hosel Setting B•2Fairway Wood: Titleist 913 F (15º) with Oban Kiyoshi Purple 75 X and SureFit Tour Hosel Irons: 712U (3-5), Titleist CB Irons (6-7) and Titleist MB Irons (8-PW) with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shaftsWedges: Vokey Design Spin Milled SM5 46, 56.10 and 60.07 with Dynamic Gold Tour Issue shaftsPutter: Scotty Cameron Prototype
Congratulations, Louis!
Determination, grit and focus were all on display Sunday afternoon at the BMW Championship as Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Billy Horschel posted a final round 1-under 69 to secure the victory and move into second place in the FedEx Cup standings.
"Yeah, it's great to win this championship," said Horschel during his post-round interview.
"I felt pretty good starting the day off. I had a great warm-up session on the range. I hit a really good drive on No. 1, made birdie. Hit a bad second shot on 2, but came back with another birdie. After that I was sort of on grind mode."
And for Billy, being in "grind mode" means keeping just about every aspect of his game sharp as he ranked in the top 15 for the tournament in Driving Distance (9), Driving Accuracy (14), Greens in Regulation (2) and Strokes Gained Putting (1).
Billy also credits this win to hard work with his team and his focus on constantly improving as a player.
Billy will be looking to carry this momentum of solid play into the Tour Championship this week.
"I'm a lot better player than I was six months ago. I understand my game a lot better… we have worked hard to become better players and do the right thing course management wise. And this is just another stepping stone to hopefully a lot bigger things in the future."
It's this type of focus and determination that we can all appreciate and hope to add into our own golf games.
Congratulations, Billy!
Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Wes Short Jr. eagled the final hole to claim his first Champions Tour victory at the Quebec Championship. Short shot a final round 8-under-par 64 to complete a three day total of 15-under-par 201. It was also a great week for Titleist golf ball players as the top 9 finishers all trusted a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball.
On the Sunshine Tour, Titleist Brand Ambassador Louis de Jager captured the Vodacom Origins of Golf – Wild Coast on the first hole of a three-way sudden death playoff that also included Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Haydn Porteous. The win marks De Jager's second career Sunshine Tour Title.
To round out the week's success, Titleist Pro V1x loyalist Mark Silvers captured his first career Canadian Tour victory by winning a playoff at the Cape Breton Celtic Classic. Silvers shot a final round 6-under-par 66 for a four day total of 15-under-par.
With another four wins this week, Titleist's year-to-date victory count advances to 127. That's more than four times the nearest competitor with 28 and more than all competitors combined.
In total, 17,968 players have teed up Titleist golf balls in competition on the 2014 worldwide professional tours, more than six times the nearest competitor with 3,004 and more than all competitors combined.

Not every lie on the golf course is perfectly flat and golfers need to know how to adjust to all kinds of situations to help encourage a confident swing.
As Titleist Staff Professional Michael Breed tells us in this latest edition of 18 Shots Presented by Titleist, it's important to adjust your alignment, stance and grip to compensate for an uneven lie.
In this tip, Michael focuses on how to approach a shot when faced with a lie above your feet. A few of his keys... grip down and aim right of the target to ensure solid contact and better control.
Bring this shot to the course and click on the image below for even more great tips and advice for your game.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs head west this week to Cherry Hills Country Club in Denver, Colorado for the BMW Championship. The classic William S. Flynn design stretches out to over 7,300 yards, but with the course at an elevation of 5,380 feet, players will have to focus more on control than distance.
"There are certain courses that probably lend themselves to hitting it high and far. I'm not so sure this is one of them," said defending champion and Titleist Brand Ambassador Zach Johnson.
"I love the way the golf course lays out, I like what it demands. It's fair, it's right out in front of you."
When asked about the setup in the Mile High City, Pro V1x loyalist Hunter Mahan echoed Zach's sentiments and stressed the importance of finding fairways.
"At this altitude it's really not a very long golf course. The rough is thick. The rough is pretty heavy on the fairways and off the greens...So, you have to be very careful where you leave your tee shots"
"I think that this is going to be one of those tournaments where there's going to be a lot of really good rounds and going into Sunday, even the back nine, you never know what could happen."
With such an exacting test of golf this week, players will have to be on point with every shot if they hope to take home the trophy and put themselves in the drivers seat for the Tour Championship.
This week at the BMW Championship, Titleist is the top golf ball choice with 37 players in the limited field of 69 trusting a Pro V1 or Pro V1x golf ball for their success.
Titleist was also the top choice in the fairway wood (29), hybrid (10), iron (20) and approach, sand and lob wedge (54) categories.
This week Zach Johnson is setting his sights on a second consecutive BMW Championship title.
Titleist Brand Ambassador Adam Scott tees off during an early-morning practice round at Cherry Hills CC.
Players will need a hot putter as well as a little luck to master the subtle greens this week at Cherry Hills.

Are you one of those?
Are you a Necromancer?
Chapter 1
New York can be really frightening some times, especially at 12 am. A Saturday night shouldn't be so lonely but the street is desolated.
I walk down the narrow street making my steps as silence as I could possibly do. I could feel death walking closer and towards me, but could not point out the exact place it was coming from. A dead being you could say, I can feel them. Sense them every where. The graveyards are impossible for me to walk by, the dead bothers me, they yell and send bad -and sometimes good- energies. I walk even faster feeling it closer; I've never felt a dead walking to me before. Dead don't walk; they are like a dark hole of energy that just exists.
"Who's there?" I ask to the shadow of a building in the corner. "Who's following me? Show yourself coward" I see something move in the shadow but nobody comes out. I close my eyes and the bad energy just disappears. "Shit!" my cell phone rings, the distinctive tone I've gave my boyfriend. "Yes?" I ask into the phone.
"…gone…you…come back…" the static in the phone and the fact that he's whispering weren't good mix.
"Speak up you dumb ass!" I yell to the phone.
"Today I die. In three days I'll look for you. You die" he sounds weak, like just talking was a hard work. His voice trembling.
"You are scaring me Martin. What are you talking about?" I stop walking even though what I wanted to do was run to safety of my house. Run and not to look back to whatever was following me.
"Today I die. Then I'll come for you" he was whispering.
"Martin? Is this a joke?" I start to get really worry, feeling the dead getting closer to me again. They smell of ashes.
"Listen to me carefully Grabiel, I'll die tonight. But you'll come with me later." the night was getting even darker and I need a place to hide from the invisible eyes of the dead. "I'm dying right now, Graby. But I'll be back." He was back to whispering. I hear a voice yelling something in the background of his whispers. "I needed to let her know." He says to somebody. "Grabiely love, don't do anything stupid. I'll be back I promise" the phone went dead after that. Like all that surrounds me; dead.
I run home, the streets where lonelier than ever. The dead watching me, I could feel its eyes on my shoulders; the weight of its sight and the smell of burned were on me.
I finally get to breathe deep after hiking three floors and closing my little New Yorker apartment's front door. But I could not take the words Martin had said to me out off my head. I call back to his phone all night until the sun brightens my small bedroom. I went to sleep but couldn't rest much, the dead were in my dream. Many people walking around in the small space that was my psychic dream. All of them I knew once where living people. Not that I knew any of them in particular, but I knew what they were and what they were not. What I don't know is what they seek from me.
I finally decide that two hours in an in-and-out sleep were enough for me. I need to find Martin and make him pay for my sleepless night. Even though I know is not his fault, this sleepless night happens to me every other day. I'm use already to manage without sleep.
"Martin!! Answer the fucking phone! When you get this massage call me back. You scaring the hell out me…. please call I'm not playing. I'm worrying Martin, call." This is the third message that I leave in his apartment answer machine. He was supposed to be home, his roommate was out of the city visiting his parent, but Martin had nothing to do on Sunday.
I light a cigarette and smoke half of it fast before laying my head back on my sofa. A big tear coming down my face. What if he left me? He was saying goodbye last night. What if that was not a vile joke? I drop more ash on the ashes pile that I was forming on my table. And stare at it. What if he left me for another woman? What i…? Arrg! Can't stand the not knowing.
I could feel the tears coming down my face but I keep my sight to the ashes. For some reason I feel them dead, like the black hole that belongs to a coffin or a grave. "Come back to life" I command without thinking twice. The ashes moves, like some wind I was not feeling makes them fly. It's like a small tornado of ashes in front of me, and then some dry tobacco lay on my table. Just like if I had take them out of my cigarette, without burning them. I gasp and pull away from the table. "Shit!"

What Would You Cook for a First Romantic Dinner ?
- Ora Aug 13, 2007 08:06 AM
OK what would you cook (for a man) for a first real deal romantic dinner date in your home? Here's what I know in terms of parameters. I know he likes steak, chicken, salmon and sweet potatoes for sure. Nothing can be deep fried. He likes southern food in particular. A mixed salad is also a good idea. OK so what would you make knowing all of this? Oh and in case you were wondering, the idea here is to make this man go over the edge in love, if such a thing can be accomplished in a single meal :)
how about a lime glazed, seared salmon, served over mashed sweet potatoes?
also, i've had this recipe waiting in the wings, in my epicurious recipe box for ages. i haven't gotten around to making it yet, but it does sound fantastic:
perhaps start with a salad and then profiteroles for dessert (they're far easier than they seem), served on a single plate with two spoons.
I know it's summer and all that, but the dish that comes to mind is Fall Apart Lamb Shank with Chocolate Almond Piccata from the Slow Meditteranean Kitchen. It is hands down the most delicious dish to ever come out of my kitchen. If my husband weren't already my husband this would have been the dish to convince him.
I don't have the recipe on me, but if you want it, I can paraphrase it for you when I get home.
jfood's thoughts:
there are two things you can do between arrival and serving.
1 - enjoy your time with your date
2 - enjoy your time with your pots and pans
Hopefully 1 outweighs 2
So how do you spend time with date (over a glass of wine and some good apps) and have a romantic dinner.
Braising is the key. It is almost impossible to overcook a braise. the longer it cooks the better it tastes.
So jfood would recommend a braise, either chicken (coq au vin), short ribs, osso bucco, something that can linger in a 300 degree oven and is not controllingthe tempo of the night. Likewise make some polenta, some mashed sweet potatoes, some mashed regular potatoes and place in a casserole and leave in the oven as well to keep warm.
Then when the moment/timing is right you are not scurrying and suateeing and grilling and all that. All you need are plates, some potholders, some serving utensils and a "please join me for the next course."
re: jfood
I would have to agree 100% with jfood- Another really yummy idea is penne with vodka cream sauce- Some nice crusty bread and a mixed green salad- I have an outstanding recipe if your interested... This too can wait on you (make the sauce ahead of time) and 10 min. before your ready just boil your penne. I love the profiteroles idea for desert. maybe with some vanilla ice cream in between and chocolate sauce drizzled over the top! YUMM!! I would have some wonderful cheese out to nibble on before dinner (brie for sure) with nice crackers. maybe even make a belini to start! :)
re: gastronomy
I also wanted to tell you about the first meal i cooked for my husband when he came over for the first time. It was a fluke that he came by so i was really preparing this meal for myself and at the last min. he came over- however it worked out well because he loved the meal and dropped down and porposed.... (okay not quite it was 2 years later) but you get the point! I made chicken breast stuffed with bacon and feta baked in the oven. Roasted Potatoes and salad rounded out the meal. Simple good food. :)
re: gastronomy
Braising some thing is definately in my thoughts. Also, I am planning make as much as possble 1 day in advance. So braised meats reheat well. Or perhaps stewed chicken pieces etc.
re: jfood
"So jfood would recommend a braise, either chicken (coq au vin), short ribs, osso bucco, something that can linger in a 300 degree oven and is not controllingthe tempo of the night. "
Plus, the smell of your apartment/house will be SO good when he walks in the door, he can't help but fall in love with you!
Great question, because you want it to be good, but you don't want it stress you out too much, or take too much prep time while your guest is over.
What always works for me in times like that is my mother's filet of beef tenderloin. And, as a guy, I can tell you there is no faster way to a man's heart than filet of beef.
The meat is so good all you need to do (other than pay for it, which kind of sucks) is make sure you don't over cook it. But I also suggest some type of coating for the beef, which will add some flavor andhelp seal in the juices.
My mom's recipe uses a combination Asian spices -- sambal manis, sambal oelek and a think, sweet soy that I think is called kitjap manis (I don't have my recipe with me). The combination of these sauces is spicy, but a thin coating of them on the beef browns up beautifully, seals in the juice, and doesn't overwhelmed the beef.
With something as impressive, tasty and filling as beef tenderloin, you don't need much else. I'd make a big colorful salad in advance. Then maybe cube some nice potatoes, coat them in oil and get them ready for roasting, also in advance of your guest arriving. Get the beef ready too, simply by tying it to form a strip of uniform thickness and coating it with the sauce. Make up some side bowls of dill and goat cheese to sprinkle on top of potatoes after roasting, and bang, your done until after your guest arrives. When he gets to your place, you can throw the potatoes in the oven. Then when you are almost ready to eat stick the meat in. Have a good bottle of red open and ready to go.
Warning: You better really like this guy, because he'll be hard to shake after this meal.
re: gmunno
I also go with a tenderloin. My standard prep is to make a spice rub (garlic, fresh herbs from the garden, salt, black pepper - could easily use southwestern spices) and lube up the roast with olive oil and then cover in spices. Roasting time can vary but I serve it medium rare. When I made this for my BF I served it with a horseradish cream sauce, creme fraiche mashed potatoes and haricot vert. He swooned, and hasn't left my side since. ;)
I have a couple of things that I like for romantic dinners: first, things eaten with the hands, and things eaten from a common dish. So I would probably start with artichokes with vinagrette or melted butter or a mini goat cheese 'fondue" to dip things into. Then I like steamed mussells of some kind of bouillabaisse to eat with wonderful bread. I would finish with pots du creme or littel molten chocolate pudding cakes.
I have to say that the comments about braising are very true and if you decide to go in that direction, and he likes southern food, grillades and grits might be well received.
Okay it might be old school but it did work. I made Coquilles St. Jacques. I don't remember what else I made long ago. He still talks about it and wonders why I never make it anymore... good question! Hey there's that cheese and seafood thing. I love this dish!
They were easy to prepare in advance, pushed them in the oven they looked quite impressive upon serving if I do say so might self.
He loves scallops so I had found that out earlier, so its good to find out likes and dislikes. I think crabtinis or shrimptinis are very nice for romantic starters.
And keeping the meal lighter if you can.
He doesn't sound fussy, so I'd stay away from fussy foods (much as I love mussels, this would be too fussy to eat). Osso bucco sounds like a great dish, plus two types of mashed potatoes -- sweet potatoes and plain or pesto. Salads are great but they make a dull beginning. Try an antipasto platter or else bruschetta. It's corn season. Have you considered a fresh corn soup? It would be wonderfully sweet and somewhat southern.
Surf and Turf,
Perhaps a couple of nice filets, or an even nicer Porterhouse, and some lobster tails, or king crab legs.
I'm in agreement with jfood that it's most important you make something that allows you to enjoy the time before the meal with the man instead of the pans. Another way you could go would be roasting a chicken or some game hens. If this guy likes southern food he would definitely appreciate a roast chicken, mashed or roasted sweet potatoes and a blueberry pie for dessert (or you could go more sultry with dark chocolate tarletts, etc... all can be made ahead). The first meal I ever made for my bf was a roasted chicken with roasted root vegetables (all one big pan... yessss), bread and salad and I baked a pie the night before. It made my whole apartment smell great and with everything either in the oven or the fridge by the time he came over I was able to enjoy a glass of wine and a nice snack beforehand with him.
re: LAcupcake
Yes, I had the whole roast chicken idea in mind as well. Love the idea of throwing the root vegetables in the pan...this is on the short list of options.
re: Ora
I have yet to meet a man who would turn down a nicely grilled steak (see: NYT article about dating and steak). Marinate it in red wine with soy sauce garlic and herbs, then grill. Serve with two types of mashed potatoes (very important! -- it looks impressive) and side of vegetables.
re: merlot143
Hmm. This is spot-on except for the two types of mashed potatoes; speaking as a man who no, no, certainly would NOT turn down a nicely grilled steak: one type of mashers would be fine, thanks. Two would actually kinda freak me out a little bit....
re: Ora
The roasted vegetables are great (as is anything that practically prepares itself) but another really lovely idea would be to serve the chicken over large croutons (I've seen this done in a couple of bistros as well as an episode of the Barefoot Contessa). They soak up the pan juices that run off the cut chicken and the whole presentation pairs really nicely with more seasonal vegetables like heritcot verts or an heirloom tomato salad (again, all able to be prepped ahead) and nicely ended with a fruit pie or maybe even a large shortcake to share (can you tell I love dessert? I plan my meals around desserts). Have fun and good luck!
re: Ora
I agree with the roasted chicken -- I'd go with the Zuni recipe. And some mashed potatoes, and maybe green beans. You want delicious without fussy. And a cobbler or crumble for dessert, or if you have time, a pie. You want the guy to feel comfortable and satisfied.
Incidentally, I was thinking about the first meal my husband ever cooked for me -- chicken tikka masala with the masala sauce from a jar, over basmati rice. We had candles stuck in empty 2 L coke bottles. And I was head over heels.
I braised these green chile and chipolte beef shortribs this weekend: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/rec...
and served them over this recipe for cheddar corn grits:
They paired together quite nicely with a Spanish red wine. I put the rub on the ribs two days ahead of time (though one will work) and then cooked them one day ahead, cooled, and then reheated the night of the dinner. The presentation of a short rib on top of the grits with a sprinkle of fresh chopped cilantro was very easy to do and yet looked like a restaurant plating.
A cool sorbet or ice cream for dessert would finish the meal off nicely in this heat.
If you go with a different main dish, I've also made these Bourbon smashed sweet potatos for Thanksgiving and they are a delicious variation on the side.
I made the following for one of my first dates with my boyfriend- Smoky Shrimp & Cheesy Grits (http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/sm...). Pretty easy and straightforward to put together; I did it with a simple salad (made some fresh buttermilk dressing), and served it with angel biscuits (you could sub sweet potato biscuits given his penchant for them). I did a flourless chocolate cake, but to be honest, we were so stuffed from the shrimp 'n grits, we barely made a dent!
re: Ora
Let us know what and when he cooks for you! The first meal my husband made for me was a can of tuna and a can of corn mixed with pasta and mayo. Served hot, with red wine. I'm amazed I didn't run screaming from the building.
re: funkymonkey
LOL. I don't think my guy can cook honestly. He, too, seems to always be eating a can of tuna fish.
ditto to jfood, with an addendum:
Ask him to help you do something in the kitchen.. maybe prep the salad, pour the wine, while you're cooking... anything to get him in the kitchen with you.
Nothin' sexier that cooking together..
Nothing better than showing of a new date how fab and glam you are in the kitchen
And no better way to suss out his chow worthiness. If he balks at tossing a salad, or can't manage a corkscrew, then he is SO not the man for you!!!!
