RE: Single Purpose Gadgets (Follow-Up #20)
posted by: plllog on 07.30.2011 at 05:56 pm in Kitchens Forum I'm so thrilled to read all of your responses!! I was sure I couldn't be alone. :) I can't make a family occasion without a minimum of two dozen people here. The whole group is more like four dozen, but there are subgroups where one can divide without leaving someone out. My friends come by the dozens too, though some of them can be seated by the half dozens. So, yeah, I guess I am a part time caterer (though compared to Worldmom and Rhome410, I'm a piker). That's how, in my planning stages, I got a lot of "why do you need four ovens?" questions. Gotta say, it works great! I could do fine for entertaining day with two large convection ovens and a warming drawer, but for daily life and the days of cooking prior, I prefer my gadgety ovens too: One normal large one, one half sized combi-steam, one half sized speed oven/MW/conv., and the warming drawer. :)
NatalieChantal, you can also make yoghurt in the oven if it has the proper low settings, and use your little cups, or ramekins, or custard dishes, or those little Pyrex bowls with covers, but that means giving up the oven for the duration. I totally get why you want the dedicated yogurt maker. :D Rhome, there are all kinds of strawberry hullers. I love mine. Some are nippers, some are spoon shaped, some defy description. Mine works really well with no fuss, but I'm sure others work well too. With this one, you pull up the leaves (sepals?), stick the points in at the base of the stem, and slide them in while turning. Pull out, and the whole center comes out, leaving the top area of the berry pretty well untouched, with a little hole in the middle. I can do this with a pointy paring knife, but it's a lot easier with the huller. Which costs something like $3 at BB&B or similar. Mcmjilly, gotta admit, I didn't even think of the food mill and mandoline as "one purpose". One is a fancy sieve and the other is a fancy knife. :) Re using the knife for smashing the garlic, that's great for a clove or two, but I find it wearing for a head or two, and I do have recipes that require whole cloves. I used to mince garlic, but the OXO garlic press does a superior job of crushing the garlic and extracting the juice. That was an impulse buy that has paid for itself in time savings. Re thyme, it's not so hard with a paring knife, the crux of the herb shears or even a thumbnail when the stems are stiff, but when they're tender it can be a nightmare. I've been known to think if they're that tender to figure they do no harm to the dish and just rip them up and throw them in. If the stems aren't determined to fall apart, you might try a wire stripper. :) Circuspeanut, the picture looks a little like a canolli shell, but it's the silicone tube. They now make these in fun colors as well. Another great thing is it goes right in the DW, standing on one of the tines. Natal, the big cube is something I don't have--you put your boiled egg, still warm, into a cube form, so you have a hardboiled egg that doesn't roll off the plate. I find that a bit creepy, but they're supposed to be popular in Japan. The little cubes are the ones you get from putting your egg through a wire egg slicer three times. We had a simple one of these when I was a kid, and I always found the little cubes a delight. Additionally, if you don't over stir the yolk cubes stay intact instead of becoming an all over yellow tinge. I never found a simple one that worked well as an adult. You know how it goes. It looks just the same as the old kind, but is made cheaply by people (or robots) that don't care, and it's just not as good. I'm currently using the OXO, which is very fancy. It has pegs that form the egg platform, rather than just slats of the metal base. There's a grid that fits over the pegs. You do the first two passes as usual, slice, turn over a quarter turn, and slice again, but then there's a little protrusion on the grid thing that you push along which turns the whole platform. I used to be good at turning the egg for the third cut, but this is swell. The problem with this one is that even with the grid to lift out all the scraps, a lot of bits get lost in the lid and the pegs, and, if you're making egg salad for a dozen (a staple amongst the Jewish ladies since any dolt can make it kosher), you have to rinse it out partway through the task. I'd be happiest with a simple hardware store one, if it was actually made properly, but at least this one gives me the little cubes without squishing a whole bunch of egg in the hinge. Katkatf, I don't have a zester, believe it or not!. I have a fork (from my college, now kitchen, set) with angular tines which does as well, but nowadays I use a Microplane. I received three as a housewarming gift. One has small holes and works great for zesting. It never gets the pith. The others are two sizes of ribbon graters. MCMJilly, I think I get why you prefer your old grater. I still use mine for lots of things. But there's something to be said for ribbon graters too. For shredded cheese to make a sauce or top a casserole or pizza, one might want hardier thickness. OTOH, there's nothing like sharp cheddar ribbons to make turnip nachos. Regular shreds would be too heavy. That's the old just right thing. I was fine when I just had the one box grater, but I'm glad to have the microplanes too. :) And each of my five whisks has a particular use, though I could pare it down to three if I really wanted to. :) (Y'all are going to ask, so here 'tis: One spring whisk, one spring whisk with center loop, one basket or whip style, one heavy ball whisk, one light weight plastic ball whisk which isn't as good for heavy tasks but doesn't scratch the pots.) Mama_goose, I know what you mean about the meatballs. I usually just use my hands. I put a lot of veg in them and they have to be compacted anyway. I do use a food scoop for poultry balls, the kind with the lever which expels the ball. I don't have the patience to coddle along the poultry mix so that it stays round. :) NOTES: <none>

'Invisible' Island Overhang Supports
posted by: lisaslists2000 on 12.17.2009 at 04:45 am in Kitchens Forum I have searched the forums and google unsuccessfully. I am looking for a previous post where there was a link to a site that sold "invisible" supports for island overhangs. I am using cabinets for the back of my island where there is seating, and they are Ikea and full face doors, so can't use corbels. Does anyone remember this post or have any suggestions?
Thanks. Lisa NOTES: support links in replies

Looking for medium-light aqua blue that isn't shocking
posted by: eks6426 on 01.06.2010 at 04:28 pm in Kitchens Forum I have this image of a medium-light aqua blue wall color in my head but I'm having trouble finding the right actual paint color.
I will have warm white cabinets, lighter granite with some carmel and grey tones and then walnut colored floors. I want the walls to be the aqua but it needs to be a more subtle version...not like the bottom of a pool. I think it needs to have a decent amount of grey to tone it down. Can anyone make any paint color selections. I have the Benj. Moore and Sherwin Williams paint decks. Thanks. NOTES: BM glass slipper

Help with in cabinet lighting
posted by: padola07 on 12.29.2009 at 02:58 pm in Kitchens Forum I have 2 glass front cabinets flanking my sink and I will like to illuminate them occasionally mostly to show off my kitchen after its done.
Here's my questions and concerns
- Is there a way to light up all the shelves besides have a light source at every shelf - Do you want to have the in-cabinet light on the same switch as the under cabinet? Any insight will be helpful. NOTES: <none>

Farmhouse sink placement
posted by: jbrodie on 09.11.2008 at 01:57 am in Kitchens Forum Looking at pictures, I have noticed that some farmhouse sinks stick out farther than others. Some are set back almost flush with the stone, while others poke out a bit more. Does anyone know what the two ways of installing them are called? I want to make sure I tell the cabinet people (or my contractor?) the way I like it using the correct terminology so that there are no mistakes.
Thank you! Julie NOTES: read responses - very helpful

99% Finished Kitchen--creamy white w/soapstone

1930 Spanish kitchen...98% complete! Photos.
posted by: yesdear on 08.23.2008 at 04:27 pm in Kitchens Forum Hi GWers, DW and I have marveled at the beautiful work others have shown here. We were very grateful for the nice comments on our preview photo posted a couple of weeks ago.
And now...the range went in yesterday with the help of 5 burly guys and suddenly we are 98% done. Only some touch-up painting and installation of the DW panel, spice cab door and glass for the glass-front cabinet left to go. When we are at 100% I'll post a gallery including "before" (yuk) and in-progress. I'll also include the new laundry area, at the extreme far end of these photos. For now, see below for shots of the kitchen. We made a few concessions to modernity, e.g., sacrificing the butler's pantry for 5 more feet of galley length and opening up the arch in the foreground--it used to be a narrow mahogany swinging door. Yet we wanted a kitchen worthy of our grand old Spanish Colonial Revival home. We think she is happy! Details at the very bottom. Range - CornuFe in basic black. Frig - Liebherr 60" built-in. DW - Miele Optima with panel front. Panel is still at the paint shop. Cabinets - locally made face-frame of birch with inset panel & bead detail on doors, melamine interiors, Blumotion hinges and all the internal bells & whistles. Countertops - Brazilian Black soapstone, not oiled yet, with radiused corners and eased edge. Runnels by the sink. Mahogany top on the beadboard hutch. Sinks - Rohl Shaws original 30" apron and 15" undermount prep with ISE Evolution disposers. Faucets - Kohler Vinnata (K-690, K-691)in brushed nickel. Cab hardware - "Duluth" 6" pulls and 1.25" knobs in brushed nickel from Restoration Hardware. Appliance pulls - Top Knobs 12" pulls in BN. The DW will have one mounted horizontally--also serves as towel rack! Floors - Original 1930 tongue-in-groove fir, sanded, repaired and refinished after removing 2 layers of linoleum. Windows - Custom arched 3-lite pull casement, based on a ~1930 design I saw in the neighborhood. Lighting - Schoolhouse Electric, all fluorescent GU24 except the pendants (too small for GU24 bulbs). Different ceiling mounts in kitchen, pantry and laundry. Hood - Best PIK 45 with custom arched drywall enclosure and remote switch. Tile Mural - our little secret! (JK, it's from Tierra y Fuego in San Diego.) Backsplash - custom 2.5 x 5" Chardonnay color handmade subway by Ken Mason. Paint - all BM, Country Lane green accent, Ivory White wall base color, Lemon Chiffon on cabs and trim. Our CKD is Dana Jones, "The Kitchen Consultant," in Long Beach, CA. Our vision + Dana's creativity and attention to detail (this is Version 7 of the plan!) + our GC Bob Kaplan's superb and flexible execution = a nice result. We are well over time but pretty darn close to budget. We learned a LOT here. Hope you like it! NOTES: <none>

Hello everybody,
I have planted begonia's outside in the past. Today, I purchased one called Begonia x Hiemalis, Has very pretty yellow flowers. oh, From Home Depot. I wanted to know if it will do well a houseplant. I have it in the house now, and don't intend to plant it outside, I'd love to have some type for a houseplant, I don't know the botanical names, but have heard of some other begonia's like angel wing, or rex beg. What type would you suggest for a house plant, and will the above be ok too? I just want some color in the winter months. I also don't know if it's a tuber or whatever? thank you, Carol |

Hiemalis will do well as a houseplant but more than likely will die on you after a few months. Treat this type as an annual. For a color splash it might last 2 to 4 months. There are many types of begonias that will do well indoors but you have to decide on size. They go from tiny to HUGE. Rexes are very colorful but a lot of folks have problems with them since they may start dropping all their leaves and eventually will die due to overwatering. Recognizing that the plant is in a form of dormancy and will emerge again when conditions are right helps keep this for years. Canes (aka angel wings sometimes) are noted for a longer blooming period than rhizomatous. Leaves can go from dull green to almost all silver, some have silver splashes, while others have polka dots (small to large). These types can go from small to extra large (five feet or taller). Rhizomatous (which rexes are in this group) have a lot of variety in color, leaf form, leaf texture, and size. They typically bloom in early spring which is icing on the cake but most are grown for their form, texture, and colorful leaves than blooms. River Nile is a fairly easy rhizomatous to grow and is quite colorful too with medium to small sized leaves. My Special Angel is a great medium sized cane that will bloom often if the light levels are high enough. Rexes always add a colorful splash even if they become problematic later on - just toss them and buy another one. |
Hi HC, thanks for all the info , btw: will the cane begonia have flowers? That's what I'm interested in. Not just pretty leaves, thanks again, Carol |

If you just want blooms then you cannot beat Dragon Wings. These bloom all summer long and take the sun better than any begonia. Keep watered and be rewarded. Here is one Dragon Wing for example in full afternoon sun. |

[aileene argallon hermosilla] - Warning! Keep reading on, or die tonight a exactly 12:42. This is based on a TRUE STORY! Once there was a baby girl named Marry. Her mother couldnt take all the crying, so she decied it was time for her to go. She buried her baby alive in her back yard. After she buried her she could still hear Marry crying. So she dug her back up and stabbed her one time in the arm, and buried her again. Marry cried harder, but a few hours later it stopped. At exactly 12:42, Marry died. She bleeded to death. Now her sprit hauntes the world. When your sleeping, she stabbes you in the arm and watches you bleed to death. And that's how she got the name "Bloody Marry" this is the true story of her. She wants everyone to feel her pain that she felt. Apperantly, if you repost this to 12 other comments you will have the best day of your life tomorrow. But if you break this chain you die at exactly 12:42 tonight by Bloody Marry. Don't belive me? You'll see!

1950s cycling shirts continue to inspire us and Bradley. We used 100% cotton in the Seam Stripe Shirt for a slim, athletic fit and made it 2cm longer than our tennis shirts. We added a zip neck (for ventilation) and a zip back pocket (so things don't fall out). We built the shirt with two cut-and-sew side panels coloured in the style of our bomber tipping detail. You'll find a nod to Bradley's rainbow jersey in the Striped back neck tape and as always, we embroidered our own Laurel Wreath on the chest.

SG caught the penultimate show of the Black Lips' West Coat run last Friday night at the Music Box in Hollyweird. Live, the flower-punk garage band from Georgia have built a solid reputation for their on stage antics, which in the past have involved nudity, chickens, vomiting, and urination. However, it was all business as the quartet powered through tracks mostly culled from their solid new Mark Ronson-produced full-length, Arabia Mountain.
"We wanted to show that drummers could become front men."
– Adam Alt, Street Drum Corps
There are drummers, and then there are street drummers, the guys who truly aren't afraid to get down and dirty with their craft. The musicians in Street Drum Corps are both, having played traditional drums in rock bands for years before lending their sticks to something decidedly more free-form and experimental.
Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman once dubbed Street Drum Corps the punk-rock Stomp, and the name stuck. The band is an apocalyptic, voodoo-rock revolution born from smog stained, litter strewn Los Angeles sidewalks and has grown into a full-force, stage production that now brings its battery of sound to the masses.
Since SDCs start in 2004, drummers Bobby Alt, Adam Alt and Frank Zummo have used found objects to create their elaborate beats and have toured the worldleaving a trail of broken drumsticks, battered trash cans and busted tail pipes in their wake. They've gone from drumming in downtown junkyards (which they still do), to recording an album with DJ Lethal for Warcon Records, to performing on Late Night with Conan O'Brien to, last fall, having their gear inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as part of a Warped Tour display.
SuicideGirls met up with the guys before a recent gig at Hollywood's famed Goth club, Bar Sinister.

Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Jim Morrison The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. We fear violence less than our own feelings. Personal, private, solitary pain is more terrifying than what anyone else can inflict. |

My husband is thinking about redoing his workshop....which is in the garage. What material would you suggest for the top of the bench that can take a lot of abuse? I know laminates can't take the abuse. I also know that Maple is very hard....any suggestions or advise on what to stay away from. Right now his bench is 12 ft and turns to make a L and the short section is 4 ft. |

have you given any thought of using a plaster cored door ( fire proof door) ? I am a retired hospital maintenance man and during our many construction projects these type of doors were thrown out by the dozens... you will not find a better bench top for free. hospitals are constantly under construction check with the hospital plant operations manager or the contractor doing the project and i would bet that you could get all you wanted for the asking.................... |

i have always just used 3/4" plywood. a true workbench should have scars. if someone wants one that will forever look like it is on a showroom floor, then they ain't using it right! for looks i would go with stainless steel if money is not an issue. any type of laminate/composite/etc jsut won't hold up to the beating and banging of a workbench. |

I use solid core doors (new or used) for the top, then slip a piece of masonite over it. You can periodically replace the masonite at low cost. |

sit down restaraunt, better pool....I have never stayed at a moderate but this is what I hear. perhaps a hot tub..and I believe the rooms are a little bigger.
I'm heading down to WDW at the end of this summer and I'm looking at staying at one of the value resorts (Pop, Movies, Music, Sports) but for a bit more money I could book Caribbean Beach. Aside from the boost from value to moderate price range are there any distinct advantages to staying at Caribbean Beach ie, closer to parks, better on-site food and ammenities. I'd appreciate any input.
sit down restaraunt, better pool....I have never stayed at a moderate but this is what I hear. perhaps a hot tub..and I believe the rooms are a little bigger.
+ larger rooms
+ more food choices (food court + sit down restaurant + pizza delivery)
+ themed main pool with slide, 8 other 'village' pools
+ boat rental, bike rental, and other activities at resort
+ mini-fridge included in room
+ definitely nicer overall resort theming - you really feel like you're in the islands - white sand beaches and hammocks
Biggest question: how much time will you be in your room? If you're going commando-style and will only be at the resort to sleep, then save the money and stay at the value resorts. If you're bringing kids - or want to have some down-time, the moderates are worth the extra money, IMHO.

I have stayed at the caribbean beach, as well as value resorts before, like pop and all star movies. For a bigger pool, if that appeals to you, perhaps a bit better bus service to parks, and cool tropical theming, go for it with the extra money. If you dont mind a really small room but want the disney feel still, then go for a value resort. If you really just need a place to sleep, maybe grab a quick bite in the food court, go for a value room.
I like the moderate for the theming and a bit more room and amenities, and my kids like the moderate for the water slides. Have fun whatever you do!!!
I am in need of some Disney magic!!
That's a real good point I didn't think about generally I'm only there to sleep and have no real need for the pool. I typically get up reasonably early and like to go to the Extra Magic Hours for MK Epcot and MGMOriginally Posted by disneydame2004
Is Caribbean Beach a lot closer to the parks than the value resorts? From what I remember the value resorts were out by Animal Kingdom.
I was at Caribbean Beach (as you can see in my sig) when it first opened but I don't remember much about it.
I've stayed at Coronado, all the value resorts, and a few of the deluxes. My personal feeling is that if you're not planning on spending much time in the resort, it's not worth the bump up to moderate unless you need the space. I can look past the themeing differences, lack of sit-down restaurants, and lack of waterslides to make up for the saved cash.
When you make the bump up to deluxe resorts, you can start getting things like walking distance to the parks (Contemporary, Yacht/Beach, Boardwalk...) which *really* are worth it.
I've stayed at a Moderate resort and this is my two cents:
1. more food choices
2. better pools
3. larger rooms
4. mini fridge
5. I wouldn't say the theming is better, but it is definitely on par with the value

There's a great tradition of over-analysing celebrities and sportsmen through an intellectual lens that probably does a disservice to everyone. For one, it flatters the writer into getting to show off with big words and psychobabble (or more accurately makes him or her look like a git). For two, it's guesswork. And lastly, it's possibly damaging to how the subject is perceived and how he or she may feel. However, it's possible, when talking about Wayne Rooney, to avoid all that, and still wonder why exactly he has arrived at such a miserable position.
Rooney played football like a savant. The game came naturally to him, with the arrogance of youth, made special by the ability to justify it. His instinct was supremely imaginative and the result was an English footballer who was genuinely thrilling, able to excite the country in the rarest of ways—he played like a foreigner. These days, there's no higher compliment for an Englishman as simply 'not seeming English.'
Excuse the crap music for a moment, and watch:
A ridiculous player. Newcastle United put in the first bid for him, which put Craig Bellamy in an almighty strop, which was fantastically entertaining, but more importantly lead Manchester United to buy him a year earlier than they might have planned (this was back when United were still capable of buying players).
It wasn't just his debut season; he impressed until 2010. But that's not really the point. Most fans have functioning eyeballs and memories, and even those who don't, know he's falling apart. The question is, why has it gone like this? Here's why it has gone like this!
Because he got stitched up
Superbly stitched up. When Wayne Rooney decided he wanted to leave in 2010, it was because Manchester United couldn't match his ambitions. Essentially, Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez had gone without being replaced, and it had been three years since they bought a midfielder. You could argue Gabriel Obertan, Antonio Valencia and Michael Owen were replacements, but you'd be making a really sick joke by doing so. Manchester City and Chelsea had money, United didn't. It looked like the jig was up.
Ferguson played the wounded granddad, and Rooney got the new contract that was apparently commensurate to his ambitions. Everyone was happy enough to go along, and Manchester United and Rooney won the league. Obviously though, you don't get to cross Ferguson and win. Roy Keane got turfed out. Ruud Van Nistelrooy got put on the naughty step in Real Madrid. Jaap Stam got Lazio'd. You don't get to cross Fergie without paying for it.
With Rooney, things were different. Ferguson needed Rooney to win the league, and so he stayed to that end. Then a couple of things happened. United bought Shinji Kagawa and Robin Van Persie, and Javier Hernandez and Danny Welbeck could increasingly hold their own. Rooney was replaced as a number nine and ten, and was no longer needed as meat in the squad. To win the league, they didn't need Rooney, they needed RVP. As a certain genius pointed out in October 2012, things were possibly over for Rooney at United.
At his retirement party, Ferguson decided that Wayne Rooney had handed in a transfer request. It doesn't matter what actually happened, because that's what he said happened. And given he simply moved upstairs, it was made clear to Rooney that life might not get any easier.
Because he's not the player he thought he'd be
Although hugely talented, Ronaldo eventually overtook him in ability, but the two of them combined well. With Carlos Tevez, the side would often feature all three, all on a similar wavelength. They all clearly enjoyed playing together. Eventually, Rooney became relied upon as the winger in the formation, as 4-3-3 became 4-5-1. His discipline meant that United could rely on him to double up at at left-back against Barcelona, and Rooney could rely on genuine success in the Premier League and Europe.
When Ronaldo and Tevez left, things again changed. No longer an energetic spark amongst three exciting players, and no longer indulging Ronaldo's genius while suppressing his own. No, now he became a traditional number nine. A combination with Antonio Valencia led United to the title and 34 goals. His ability has meant that wherever he plays, he can still do things like this
but it has its drawbacks. By playing such one dimensional football on the wing or as a striker, the joy of football has disappeared entirely.
Rooney can, in part, lay blame at Fergie for making him play this way for so long that he can no longer rely on what made him such a great footballer. How galling must it be that having made the decision to serve the team instead of his talent, that the team no longer need him? That doesn't justify the mardy behaviour on or off the pitch, but it goes some way to explaining it.
Because of his lifestyle—pictured boozing and smoking more than you might wish from your average professional footballer—and the injuries, which are perhaps linked, he is no longer as athletic as he once was. Before, his size and speed made him a force, now it's more of a slow bulk, neither mobile nor lithe. Injuries have dulled his abilities. His first touch is shot, he has no explosive quality to his play. He might be angry at himself for allowing his body to get to this, or he might simply be angry that his body is letting him down. We all decay, of course—you're decaying right now, and now, and now—but not all of our fortunes depend so directly on our bodies. Rooney would be right to be frustrated with his body, but he might be increasingly angry at himself for causing the trouble with his own carelessness.
Because he's English
The English are an angry bunch, and more than that they're a self-loathing people, with utterly good reason. We are awful, totally irredeemable. For all the specifics of his circumstance, Rooney just can't escape his destiny. To resent his lot, and to be the cause of it. Fergie played his part, as did life itself, but nowhere else can you end up so miserable without the root cause simply being born in England. He might have played like a foreigner, but he thought like an Englishman.

Road accidents — not terrorism, plane crashes or crime — are the No. 1 killer of healthy Americans traveling abroad, a USA TODAY analysis of the past 7½ years of State Department data shows.An accompanying chart shows that between 2003 and June 2010, 56 Americans were killed in road accidents in Thailand.
About 1,820 Americans, almost a third of all Americans who died of non-natural causes while abroad, have been reported killed in road accidents in foreign countries from Jan. 1, 2003, through June 2010. On average, one American traveler dies on a foreign road every 36 hours.
Almost 40% of the deaths occurred in Mexico, the analysis shows. The second-highest number of road fatalities occurred in Thailand, where relatively few Americans visit. The Dominican Republic, a popular resort destination, ranked No. 3 in fatalities, followed by Germany and Spain.
During that period 16,240 Thais lost their lives on the kingdom's deadly roads. To put this figure in context, nearly half as many Thais lose their lives on the roads as Brazilians, even though Brazil's population is nearly three times larger. Turkey's population is slightly larger than Thailand's, but Turkey had only two-thirds as many traffic fatalities as Thailand. Accounting for the population, Thailand's roads are only marginally more deadly than Malaysia's, which is surprising as Malaysians are far more prosperous than Thais (on the same level as the Turks and Brazilians)*. As more affluent countries tend to have safer roads, Malaysia's roads are far more dangerous than should be expected.
If Thais want to think of their roads as safe, they have to compare their country to Iran. Iran has about the same population and GDP per capita as Thailand, but its roads are two-thirds more deadly.
* GDP per capita of Turkey, Brazil and Malaysia is twice that of Thailand.

Excellus Blue Cross Blue Shield and St. Joseph's Neighborhood Center have teamed up to help people in our area get healthy.
Excellus officials tell News10NBC the company has provided $90,000 of support over the past four years to the center's Health Empowerment Program.
The goal is to help lower-income people in our area who are struggling with weight or pre-diabetes issues improve their health.
News10NBC talked to one woman who says she not only feels better because she lost weight, she also feels more empowered now.
"People say that I'm happier. I found myself driving down here a week or two ago, and I thought I was really in a dark place and I didn't even know it. I've had people say there's a glow about me now. I'm just happier. I'm a happier person," said Sue Ellen Antkowiak, who lost 30 pounds on the program.
While its first round of support is nearing the wrap-up stage, Excellus says it's continuing to support the center through a grant it's giving to St. John Fisher College and its nursing program.
Nursing students are providing some of the resources available to the center now.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Bear, a Hamilton Husky/Akita dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Husky/Akita for sale in Hamilton, or seeking a Husky/Akita dog from a breeder in Hamilton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Hamilton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Hamilton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Husky/Akita breeders who help with Husky/Akita rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Hamilton paves the way for another one to be saved.

"This fudge set very well, was delicious and addictive. It was a hit even with non-vegans at Christmas. I used creamy peanut butter instead of natural because we had a few containers of that in the pantry. I also used a store brand vanilla almond milk. IDK if confectioner's sugar is the same as icing sugar, but that's what I used. I let it boi..."

New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Then another message came to me from the LORD: | 1 The word of the LORD came to me: |
2 "Why do you quote this proverb in the land of Israel: 'The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children's mouths pucker at the taste'? | 2 "What do you people mean by quoting this proverb about the land of Israel: " 'The fathers eat sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge'? |
3 As surely as I live, says the Sovereign LORD, you will not say this proverb anymore in Israel. | 3 "As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign LORD, you will no longer quote this proverb in Israel. |
4 For all people are mine to judge -- both parents and children alike. And this is my rule: The person who sins will be the one who dies." | 4 For every living soul belongs to me, the father as well as the son--both alike belong to me. The soul who sins is the one who will die. |
5 "Suppose a certain man is just and does what is lawful and right, | 5 "Suppose there is a righteous man who does what is just and right. |
6 and he has not feasted in the mountains before Israel's idols or worshiped them. And suppose he does not commit adultery or have intercourse with a woman during her menstrual period. | 6 He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor's wife or lie with a woman during her period. |
7 Suppose he is a merciful creditor, not keeping the items given in pledge by poor debtors, and does not rob the poor but instead gives food to the hungry and provides clothes for people in need. | 7 He does not oppress anyone, but returns what he took in pledge for a loan. He does not commit robbery but gives his food to the hungry and provides clothing for the naked. |
8 And suppose he grants loans without interest, stays away from injustice, is honest and fair when judging others, | 8 He does not lend at usury or take excessive interest. He withholds his hand from doing wrong and judges fairly between man and man. |
9 and faithfully obeys my laws and regulations. Anyone who does these things is just and will surely live, says the Sovereign LORD." | 9 He follows my decrees and faithfully keeps my laws. That man is righteous; he will surely live, declares the Sovereign LORD. |
10 "But suppose that man has a son who grows up to be a robber or murderer and refuses to do what is right. | 10 "Suppose he has a violent son, who sheds blood or does any of these other things |
11 And suppose that son does all the evil things his father would never do -- worships idols on the mountains, commits adultery, | 11 (though the father has done none of them): "He eats at the mountain shrines. He defiles his neighbor's wife. |
12 oppresses the poor and helpless, steals from debtors by refusing to let them redeem what they have given in pledge, worships idols and takes part in loathsome practices, | 12 He oppresses the poor and needy. He commits robbery. He does not return what he took in pledge. He looks to the idols. He does detestable things. |
13 and lends money at interest. Should such a sinful person live? No! He must die and must take full blame." | 13 He lends at usury and takes excessive interest. Will such a man live? He will not! Because he has done all these detestable things, he will surely be put to death and his blood will be on his own head. |
14 "But suppose that sinful son, in turn, has a son who sees his father's wickedness but decides against that kind of life. | 14 "But suppose this son has a son who sees all the sins his father commits, and though he sees them, he does not do such things: |
15 Suppose this son refuses to worship idols on the mountains, does not commit adultery, | 15 "He does not eat at the mountain shrines or look to the idols of the house of Israel. He does not defile his neighbor's wife. |
16 and does not exploit the poor, but instead is fair to debtors and does not rob them. And suppose this son feeds the hungry, provides clothes for the needy, | 16 He does not oppress anyone or require a pledge for a loan. He does not commit robbery but gives his food to the hungry and provides clothing for the naked. |
17 helps the poor, does not lend money at interest, and obeys all my regulations and laws. Such a person will not die because of his father's sins; he will surely live. | 17 He withholds his hand from sin and takes no usury or excessive interest. He keeps my laws and follows my decrees. He will not die for his father's sin; he will surely live. |
18 But the father will die for the many sins he committed -- for being cruel and robbing close relatives, doing what was clearly wrong among his people." | 18 But his father will die for his own sin, because he practiced extortion, robbed his brother and did what was wrong among his people. |
19 "'What?' you ask. 'Doesn't the child pay for the parent's sins?' No! For if the child does what is right and keeps my laws, that child will surely live. | 19 "Yet you ask, 'Why does the son not share the guilt of his father?' Since the son has done what is just and right and has been careful to keep all my decrees, he will surely live. |
20 The one who sins is the one who dies. The child will not be punished for the parent's sins, and the parent will not be punished for the child's sins. Righteous people will be rewarded for their own goodness, and wicked people will be punished for their own wickedness. | 20 The soul who sins is the one who will die. The son will not share the guilt of the father, nor will the father share the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous man will be credited to him, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against him. |
21 But if wicked people turn away from all their sins and begin to obey my laws and do what is just and right, they will surely live and not die. | 21 "But if a wicked man turns away from all the sins he has committed and keeps all my decrees and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die. |
22 All their past sins will be forgotten, and they will live because of the righteous things they have done." | 22 None of the offenses he has committed will be remembered against him. Because of the righteous things he has done, he will live. |
23 "Do you think, asks the Sovereign LORD, that I like to see wicked people die? Of course not! I only want them to turn from their wicked ways and live. | 23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? |
24 However, if righteous people turn to sinful ways and start acting like other sinners, should they be allowed to live? No, of course not! All their previous goodness will be forgotten, and they will die for their sins." | 24 "But if a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits sin and does the same detestable things the wicked man does, will he live? None of the righteous things he has done will be remembered. Because of the unfaithfulness he is guilty of and because of the sins he has committed, he will die. |
25 "Yet you say, 'The Lord isn't being just!' Listen to me, O people of Israel. Am I the one who is unjust, or is it you? | 25 "Yet you say, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' Hear, O house of Israel: Is my way unjust? Is it not your ways that are unjust? |
26 When righteous people turn from being good and start doing sinful things, they will die for it. Yes, they will die because of their sinful deeds. | 26 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits sin, he will die for it; because of the sin he has committed he will die. |
27 And if wicked people turn away from their wickedness, obey the law, and do what is just and right, they will save their lives. | 27 But if a wicked man turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will save his life. |
28 They will live, because after thinking it over, they decided to turn from their sins. Such people will not die. | 28 Because he considers all the offenses he has committed and turns away from them, he will surely live; he will not die. |
29 And yet the people of Israel keep saying, 'The Lord is unjust!' O people of Israel, it is you who are unjust, not I." | 29 Yet the house of Israel says, 'The way of the Lord is not just.' Are my ways unjust, O house of Israel? Is it not your ways that are unjust? |
30 "Therefore, I will judge each of you, O people of Israel, according to your actions, says the Sovereign LORD. Turn from your sins! Don't let them destroy you! | 30 "Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. |
31 Put all your rebellion behind you, and get for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O people of Israel? | 31 Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? |
32 I don't want you to die, says the Sovereign LORD. Turn back and live!" | 32 For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live! |

MONA - The Virgin Mobile Mod Club, Toronto - February 25th, 2012
Review by Mike Bax
Photos by Yves Lepage
This week, Nashville, Tennessee four-piece Mona will appear on both David Letterman and Conan O'Brien, playing their North American debut lead single 'Lean Into The Fall'. While their debut album has been available almost EVERYWHERE else in the world, the North American release is this Tuesday, February 28th. The UK buzz on the band has peaked my attention for months now, and I've had their Mod Club show circled on my calendar since the day it was announced.
Mona played to a relatively thin crowd on this evening, which I found genuinely surprising. Toronto music fans are usually one step ahead of the curve regarding up and coming bands, and in my mind I just assumed this show would be at capacity as Mona are CERTAINLY going to be a going concern. Not that Mona really minded all that much. They were all in the crowd clapping their hands as New York's The Rassle opened up for them, cheering their touring mates along every step of the way.
Lead singer Nick Brown told the crowd during 'Teenagers' that they'd played to as little as nine people and as many as ninety thousand over the past year, and so long as the crowd sang along with them and had fun during their performance they would remain content. Shortly after this comment, the band managed to elicit a full-on harmonizing crescendo to the song with everyone in the venue howling back the harmony to 'Teenagers', a song that they'd likely not even heard before. It was a fantastic musical moment to behold.
Nick Brown looks like a man comprised of 33% Springsteen, Strummer, and Johnny Cash. He wore a v-necked white T-shirt and jeans and throughout the evenings performance literally wrenched some of his guitar solos out of a classic looking six-string electric guitar. Together with bassist Zach Lindsey and guitarist Jordan Young, the three of them utilized white spiral coiled guitar cables as they all bounced about the stage in front of drummer Vince Gard, and delivered what I considered to be a world class performance of material to a lucky crowd of patrons.
In the months to come, the 'cop-out' musical comparison that Mona will take will be to Kings Of Leon. 'Say You Will' resonates with many similarities to some of the Kings more commercial material, but the real meat on their debut can be found in songs like 'Shooting the Moon', 'Lean Into the Fall', 'Lines In The Sand' and 'Teenager'.
Brown fell to his knees on stage and rolled onto his back to sing the intro notes to 'Shooting the Moon' before jumping back to his feet to levy some of the most blistering guitar work of the evening as the song reached it's apex.
For their eighth and final song of their main set of material, Brown howled the lyrics to 'Can't Take My Eyes Off You' before merging into 'Lean Into the Fall', capping off an incendiary 45 minutes of live music. The lights dimmed after 'Lean Into the Fall' and I figured the evening was over - cut short by a sparse crowd on a Saturday night combined with a strict 10pm curfew (the Mod Club wanted it's dance club crowd from 10pm onwards). To everyone's surprise, Mona came back on stage and announced that this evening was actually the end of their tour. They threw kudos to both The Rassle and Gentleman Husbands before delivering a killer cover of 'Zombie' by The Cranberries that was worth the price of admission alone.
Mona has been hand-picked by Noel Gallagher to open his US tour dates in March and April. Their debut album is most excellent - take the time to check it out once it sees a release this coming Tuesday.
I seldom get to see live shows like this. Tickets for this show were a paltry $12.50, and Mona's performance was easily worth four times this amount. I'd entered the venue knowing very little about the band. I'd only heard the four songs on the advance Mona EP that is commercially available here in Canada. I was hoping for a good live show, and left the venue thinking I'd seen something phenomianal.
Now, I can't wait until they come back and play live in Toronto again.

"I made this using zucchini, carrot and some creamed corn (most of my zucchinis had frozen in the fridge so I had to find some alternatives!). I also left out the bacon as I wanted to give it to my 10 month old daughter. She loved it, my husband loved it, and I loved it. Easy and delicious - just the way I like my recipes."

Ford has a long tradition in the pick-up segment, which extends back to 1917. Instead of pure workhorse of modern pick-ups but are much more lifestyle-made cars, which have retained the old qualities.
The best example is the all- 2013 new Ford Ranger, the charge-quality cars and brings comfort to a common denominator. Gone are the days of the cane-brake and hand the Spartan interior with truck-feeling.
In the style of the brand is how the new Ranger in "kinetic design" and has been at first very high quality and modern. The interior benefits from a stylish design and is located on an average passenger car, as far as features and convenience.
As standard, the Ranger has been here about the new all-wheel drive, which can be switched up to a speed of 120 km / h. For extreme terrain there is then the knob for the four-wheel drive position "4L", which leads to its reduction to the Ranger and through difficult terrain.
On board, a hill-start assist, a hill descent control, an emergency brake assist, ESP, ABS, a trailer stabilization, 7 airbags, audio system, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors and electric windows in front.
Excluding Double Cab XLT trim levels, the three higher, Limited and Wildtrak is available. The XLT comes standard with the 2.2 liter TDCi already with 150 hp (110 kW) on the market and can also be combined with an automatic transmission.
also be looking forward more than a higher-quality audio system with 4.2 "multi-function display, a 2-zone automatic climate control, electrically folding exterior mirrors, electrically adjustable driver seat, leather seats, park distance control rear and 17" alloy wheels.
st.) at the dealer and have the 3.2 liter TDCi 200 PS (147 kW) under the hood, and additionally the Ford navigation system with 5 "monitor, roof rails, 18" alloy wheels, a rear-view camera and part-leather seats Wildtrak decor on board.
For a first outing, we have chosen the 150-horsepower diesel engine in combination with the limited equipment. The 535.9 cm grown pick-up gives the same ambience as the sporty Ford car models designed fittings and good clarity characterize the cockpit of Ranger.
With the comfortable leather seats, front center armrest and a separately adjustable climate control also has plenty of luxury you on board. Unfortunately, the beautiful leather steering wheel and not only in height adjustable in length, which spoils the overall impression of something positive.

5 stupid-awesome uses for the Glyph of Disguise
In Mists, rogues were given the Glyph of Disguise. This minor glyph allows rogues to copy the appearance of an enemy, simply by pickpocketing it. Sadly, the Glyph does have its limits -- rogues can no longer pickpocket Durn the Hungerer, a source of endless hours of amusement in beta -- but that doesn't mean the glyph is devoid of all fun. In fact, there are plenty of cool mobs out there in the world, waiting to be mimicked.

I recently subscribed to the new myspace in order to have a place where I could share my music (electronic compositions) production.
But it seems to me that the ones who are not subscribed cannot see the profiles and not listen to music.
Am I right?
Is there a way to make your profile public?

Melt's unique approach - see the kitchen in the shop, choose your chocolates and we can gift wrap them for you
Our store appeals to all the senses: sight, touch, smell and of course taste. Watching chocolate being made is fascinating and the smell is intoxicating. Our shop is unique – you can see the chocolates being made and you can select the chocolates you like yourself.
Chocolate is the only food that melts at body temperature, hence our name. You can only appreciate chocolate if you let it melt slowly in your mouth – so we encourage you to taste the best chocolate and eat it in a different, rather slower and more seductive way. What we are doing at Melt is creating truly sublime chocolates using the best ingredients in the world. We source our ingredients from the best producers globally. At Melt we work closely with chocolate producers. We will only use chocolate that is sourced from companies with strong credentials for supporting the local community and the environment.
Melt was founded by Louise Nason in 2006 – a mother of four demanding children – who only like to eat the best chocolate. Hence our commitment to the best quality the world has to offer.

Squash, Black Bean, and Goat Cheese Tamales
From EatingWell.com
Tamales are a sign of celebration at holiday gatherings in Mexican households on both sides of the border, especially for occasions like Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve dinner. Here we stuff them with creamy winter squash, black beans, and tangy goat cheese.

U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 4 ounce(s) dried cornhusks (see Tips & Techniques)
- 1.75 cup(s) masa (see Tips & Techniques)
- 1.25 cup(s) hot water
- 1.5 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup(s) canola oil
- 2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 2 cup(s) quick-cooking grits or cornmeal
- 1/2 cup(s) vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth
- 20 ounce(s) (about 2 cups) frozen winter squash, thawed (see tip)
- 1 can(s) (15-ounce) black beans, rinsed
- 1 can(s) (4-ounce) chopped green chiles, drained
- 3/4 teaspoon(s) salt
- 3/4 cup(s) crumbled goat cheese
- To prepare wrappers: Place cornhusks in a large bowl, cover with hot water, and weight with a heavy plate or pan to completely submerge them. Let soak for 30 minutes.
- To prepare batter: Put masa and 1 1/4 cups hot water in a large bowl; stir with a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. Beat ricotta, oil, baking powder, and salt in another large bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Reduce speed to low. Add grits (or cornmeal) and mix until combined. Add the ricotta mixture to the masa mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in broth 1/4 cup at a time until the batter is very moist and spreadable, but not runny.
- To prepare filling: Place squash puree in a fine-mesh sieve and gently press on it to extract excess liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl and add beans, chiles, and salt; stir until combined.
- To assemble tamales: Drain the cornhusks and pat dry. Sort through and pick out 16 large, unblemished husks to use as wrappers. Cut about 2 dozen thin, long strips from the remaining husks to use as ties (or use kitchen string instead). Cover the husks and ties with a damp towel to keep moist.
- Working on a clean surface, unfold one of the large cornhusks so it's completely flat. Spread 1/3 cup of the batter in the center of the husk in a 4-inch square, leaving a wide border at the top and the bottom. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the filling in a thin strip down the length of the batter. Top the filling with 1 rounded teaspoon goat cheese.
- Bring the two long sides of the cornhusk together, causing the batter to completely surround the filling but don't fold the sides over the tamale yet. Fold the cornhusk ends in, then fold the sides around the tamale. If a cornhusk splits while you're folding the tamale, just wrap a second husk right over the first and finish rolling. Tie the tamale closed using a thin strip of cornhusk. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 15 more tamales. (You may have a little batter and/or filling left over.)
- To steam tamales: Fill a large Dutch oven with 1 inch of water. Place a steamer basket in the pot and loosely place the tamales upright in the basket. Cover and steam over medium heat for 1 hour. Check the water level periodically and add more boiling water if necessary. The tamales are done when the batter is firm and easily pulls away from the wrapper.

Tips & Techniques
Cornhusks are traditionally used as tamale wrappers. They are sold dried and need to be reconstituted in water to make them pliable enough for tamales. Masa is ground dried corn treated with lime, sometimes called masa harina or instant masa mix; it is used for making tamales and tortillas. Masa can be found near the cornmeal or flour and dried cornhusks in the produce department of most well-stocked supermarkets or Mexican grocers; both can be found on amazon.com.
Tip: To make your own squash puree, halve and seed one medium acorn or butternut squash. Place, cut-side down, on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until soft, about 50 minutes. Cool, then scrape out the flesh with a fork. Or simply use frozen (thawed) or canned squash puree. Find frozen squash puree near other vegetables in the freezer section and canned squash near the canned pumpkin.
