Encrypted Text: Top new, useful Cataclysm rogue abilities {WoW}
Sep 23rd 2010 2:51PM I doubt it, it's been that way on the beta since the start, it appears we have traded the ability to force players to drop target for the 3 seconds immunity, pets never dropped target anyway.
Encrypted Text: Playing your rogue in patch 4.0.1 {WoW}
Sep 16th 2010 6:44PM With the new immunity you no longer cause a player/pet to drop target, you enter a state of vanish and no damage will knock you out while in this state, after the affect wears off you will hear the "entering stealth" noise and a pet that was attacking you will hit you and knock you out of stealth, spells also seem to be able to do it if you were targeted before you used vanish, although this could have been affected by high lag on the beta BG servers.
Reports of vanish being fixed have been greatly exaggerated :(
Encrypted Text: Rogue glyphs in the Cataclysm beta {WoW}
Sep 8th 2010 6:50PM I'm having a great time as Assassination on the beta, venomous wounds is wonderful and working out the best rotation is keeping me busy.
I want to try out combat, but there are no fast off-hands that i have found with melee dps stats, are we going to be using 2 slow weapons as combat?
Encrypted Text: Rogue glyphs in the Cataclysm beta {WoW}
Sep 8th 2010 6:41PM I have Blurred Speed on my rogue on the beta and it's fully functioning. ( Unless something has changed in the last 24 hours)
Shifting Perspectives: Troubleshooting cat DPS, part 2 {WoW}
Jun 9th 2010 2:08PM Of all the Mods I've seen listed, EventHorizon is the absolute best, I use this with Ice Hud and MSBT, every piece of information you need in your direct field of view, letting you focus on not dieing in the fire.
Ready Check: I miss Karazhan {WoW}
Jun 6th 2010 10:44AM I only started playing after 2.2, i remember well mt first kara visit, i had dinged 70 only a day before and was in Nagrand doing the daily skinning quest. I had the invite box pop up on my screen, i accepted and a summon quickly followed....next thing i'm in kara on Nightbanes ledge, a quick explanation and a pull, I learned very quickly that dragons cleaved :P a wipe or two later i'm sporting my first epic ( the leather chest).
we continue into the instance, i'm learning as i go and then we get to Illhoof, i'm dps'ing away switching to the chains and back to the boss, concentrating on my rotation, oblivious to everything but the boss, next thing i hear is tank's dead, it was the OT, but i suddenly realize it me the MT and one healer left, at 2% the MT goes down, i evasion tank the last 2%,clean up the imps as the priest spams herself, and we save a wipe,the other 8 ppl are cheering in vent, a smile is beaming across my face. the thrown weapon drops and it is just given to me immediately, a well deserved piece of loot.
My first ever raid and it was epic, so kara will always hold a special place for me.
Encrypted Text: Profession perks for rogues {WoW}
May 5th 2010 1:31PM I lol'ed when I saw this too, its funny that you got downvoted for pointed out a glaring error in the post.
Rogues gain no benefit for spellpower ever, not even poisons, that's attack power based.( for any new rogue reading this before the edit)
we do however gain a slight benefit from spell crit, just do not EVER gear or gem with spell crit (or int) in mind. Don't click off Arcane brilliance when you get buffed with it, as a rogue i know used to do, "its just not rogueish" was his reason.
Encrypted Text: My favorite rogue addons {WoW}
Apr 1st 2010 10:39AM ICEHUD and Event Horizon are really the only ad-on's a rogue needs, everything else is just icing on the display.
Slice Commander is very useful as well, i can be configured to play sounds when reaching the end of timers; SnD, HfB and more importantly upon reaching a set value of energy, it can also be completely hidden and doesn't cause clutter.
Encrypted Text: The art of the gank {WoW}
Feb 17th 2010 6:57PM i don't know why i continue to read chases' posts, and this one could really spell the death knell as far as my interest goes.
ganking is not in any way a part of playing a rogue its part of the game for every class, i play a rogue and i never gank -where ganking is defined as picking a fight you have a very high chance of winning ( much lower level char than you, outnumbering a char , picking on a char that is busy mid fight with a mob, opening from stealth) - but i do love world pvp, and if someone picks a fight with me i'll gladly show them how wrong they were at their easy target selection this time :P
but some people do have this urge to only pick fights when they have the complete upper hand, i leveled through it and came out the other side, ive even turned the tables on players much higher level than me, and other player just see a rogue and attack them simply because its a rogue, a sentiment expressed by a few commenters so far, and chases post this week will do no favors to leveling rogues as he is focusing the hate on us some more, you'd think he played a pally or something, the true chicken shit gankers imo.....oh wait......he does.
anyway tl;dr chace is a jumped up pally trying to play a rogue who browses other forums for his ideas ( ulduar class advice -name-checking feist after stealing his idea dosent make it right ), and is really clutching at straws to fill his weekly quota with this terribad post.
Breakfast Topic: What do you think of WoW.com's new features? {WoW}
May 24th 2009 9:31AM i can only reply to my own comment not to someone who replied to my original comment, it this intended?
i haven't yet come across an add-block feature for a mobile phone browser, which is what my comment refers too...
if you know of one, please let me know

AMERICA the beautiful In home design, we celebrate the spirit of our independence
Author Gerald Foster identifies this unique characteristic in the introduction to his new book, "American Houses, A Field Guide to the Architecture of the Home" (Houghton Mifflin, $20): "The single-family home has traditionally assumed an unusual importance in the United States, compared with other Western societies. Buying a home is an American rite of passage, and the house has been a symbol of independence and security, as well as social and economic status." In part due to low interest rates, home ownership in the U.S. has hit an all-time high of 68 percent. This explosion is echoed in the current fetish for TV home-makeover shows and the proliferation of home-design magazines. Even Oprah has entered the fray with the recent release of O at Home. There's no doubt about it: Our modern homes are not only retreats from the world but extensions of our personal interests and style. In earlier times, settlers often created houses that stylistically reflected the cultures from which they came. The country farmhouse, the practical Cape Cod saltbox, the Craftsman bungalow, the ranch on the Western frontier and the grand Victorian mansion are a just a few examples of this vast housing heritage. But of all the many styles and influences, none stands alone as the definitive "American Style." Over the years, styles have been further modified by environmental, geographic and economic factors.
But whether a house is designed by a commissioned architect, built from a Sears, Roebuck and Co. mail-order kit or part of a developer's planned community, it's clear each represents the very essence of our country's spirit and ingenuity. To celebrate the Fourth, here are a few nods to our country's roots:
The U.S. market for home-improvement products reached $212 billion in 2003, a sign of a national obsession that goes back at least as far as founding father Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson renovated, redesigned and remodeled his beloved Monticello for more than 40 years (see www.monticello.org). In approximately 11,000 square feet, the house has 13 skylights and eight fireplaces.
Even our nation's house, the White House, has undergone repeated remodeling. Particularly memorable was first lady Jacqueline Kennedy's restoration and redecoration, which culminated in a televised tour in 1962. Her signature style, grace and deftly orchestrated media campaign made an impression on many a baby boomer. Because of the campaign, everyone felt they were part of the design process, and some important donations of furniture were made. Designers such as Sister Parish also became household names.
One of the many unique features of the Sears mail-order homes was their ability to be modified to suit a homeowner's individual taste. Whereas selection on such things as hardware was once limited to what could be found in the local hardware store, the Sears kits opened up a world of options. Today, the choices range from the many home-improvement chains to more specialized shops and catalogs. In the mail-order catalog tradition, Portland-based Rejuvenation (www.rejuvenation.com) has an extensive period-lighting and house-parts catalog as well as a popular storefront. Because of demand in the Puget Sound area, the company recently opened Rejuve in Seattle's SoDo district, at 2910 First Ave. S. Reminiscent of the old-time hardware stores, the renovated Nisqually Building is filled with vignettes that highlight various reproduction lines from the '20s, '30s and '40s. The center of the store is designed like a traditional hardware store, so shopping there offers a chance for a little time traveling. Just a Little Bit Country While it's true our nation's housing styles are constantly evolving, one style invariably comes to mind when referring to what's "American": country. But these days, country has seen the big city and vice versa. Popular magazines feature headlines such as "Country Cool" highlighting homes that show a sophisticated mix of modern style with the beauty of hand-crafted and found objects. No longer restricted to gingham and straw, these country homes and cottages value the simplicity of furniture styles polished with the patina of the past. Our National Icon It's doubtful our forefathers envisioned the nation's flag as a recurring decorating motif, pattern for paper plates or campaign for Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger or Old Navy. One can only imagine how modern-day focus groups, the staple of corporate branding initiatives, would have reacted to the design of our nation's flag. By all accounts, the Continental Congress adopted the final design on June 14, 1777, with little discussion. Betsy Ross is credited with dutifully sewing our first flag, but only another American icon, Martha Stewart, could take it to a whole other level. Despite the obvious ironic circumstances, www.marthastewart.com has the best selection of flag paraphernalia for all your decorating and entertaining needs.

Is Obama's Spending Lead Moving the Polls?
Based on the latest data from the Wisconsin Advertising Project, Obama's spending advantage is starting to come into play. In the week from September 28 to October 4, Obama-Biden spent $16.2 million on ads in 15 swing states to McCain-Palin and the RNC's $9.5 million.
Is this spending making a difference? The answer is a qualified yes.
To figure out the impact of Obama's TV ad spending edge in various states, I updated this spreadsheet to aggregate a number of data points, including RCP averages from various points in the race, 2004 results, and aggregate ad spending as well as ad spending per voter per week.
In states where Obama has an above average spending advantages (more than 1.7 to 1), his RCP average lead has moved up 3.61 percent versus in 2.44 percent in states where the candidates were more stalemated in terms of ad spending. A similar shift of about 1.2 points was found when comparing these polling averages to July 1 or the first date we had polling for a state, when ad spending was a fraction of what it is today.
With 15 states, this kind of analysis is plagued by a small-n factor in which one state can throw the calculus off dramatically. It's also worth pointing out that state-specific RCP averages can be less reliable than their national counterparts.
In these cases, I find it useful to build typologies state by state. Overall, I found 5 states (Florida, Missouri, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Virginia) in which a massive Obama spending edge correlated with an above-average shift to Obama since September 28, versus one state that defied this pattern (Indiana). Remove Indiana and the ad spending effect rises to 1.6 points.
As for the rest of the states, all but one are grouped as battlegrounds in that both candidates were competitive at a 2-to-1 spending ratio or lower, and these generally resulted in more muted shifts or contradictions between the July and September deltas.
The odd man out is Minnesota in which McCain is actually outspending Obama and has held the line relatively well there. This is the one example of an ad effect working in his direction.
Here's a scatterplot of Obama's ad spending edge in dollars per voter last week, mapped against the change in the RCP average from July 1st and from September 28th:
So, the difference between outspending your opponent 3.6 to 1 and 1.3 to 1 could be about 1.2 points -- maybe 1.6. But I wouldn't write home about this until we have several weeks of ad spending correlated with corresponding before and after poll data.
It's also worth noting that this cash advantage is not recreatable in every state. There are still lots of states where McCain will compete aggressively. That means saturation advertising on both sides, making it physically impossible to maintain a 3-to-1 cash advantage. And even if it were possible, it wouldn't be as effective since McCain has established a baseline presence.
Obama's spending advantage is also mostly in Republican states that are not likely to be tipping points that have seen little McCain advertising. These uncontested situations In these states are ripe for moving poll numbers. Obama is advertising at normal levels and McCain is on the air little or not at all. However, these will be wasted dollars if Obama doesn't succeed in flipping these states or realign them to the point where they are electoral vote #270.
I'm in DC
so I see the ads that are for northern Virginia. In the past month, I can't remember seeing a McCain ad. On the other hand, I can't go a day without seeing Obama on TV. And we wonder why northern Virginia is becoming so Democratic.
Northern Virnginia and Democrats
Northern Virgnia has become more Democratic because the Bush Administration and previous Republican Administration has supported open borders and unlimited immigration. Now the public schools in Northern Virginia was less than 50% white. Any place where the public schools are less than 50%, the Repulbicans have little chance of winning.
also, the whites in Northern Virgnia as educated knowledge workers. They are the Demographic groups that the Bush Administration has worked very hard to alienate with eight years of inarticulate incompetence.
I'm sure all that Foreign Money...
...pouring into the Obama campaign is giving Obama somewhat of an advantage. "But" that doesn't let McCain's inept advisers/consultants off the hook. Or McCain, himself.
The Obama surrogates have been out race baiting over the past week effectively painting the McCain-old-white-guy picture. And explaining Palin off as redneck racist. This is going unanswered and is hurting us more than the money issue - my opinion.
Were I McCain, I'd be on the phone, personally-today, with Condi, Colin, JC Watts & Lynn Swann beseeching them to come out and campaign for him. Imploring them, reminding them that; "the democrats are trying to paint us a racists and we need your help in dispelling this lie". I wouldn't take no for an answer and I'd force them to either agree or hang-up in my ear.
Can you imagine Sarah Palin and Condi Rice walking out together at a rally in Ohio, PA, or one of the other battleground states? Or McCain and Colin Powell? And it wouldn't cost hardly anything. Its not about money but about smart campaigning, in my view. DD
Yes, I can imagine...
Can you imagine Sarah Palin and Condi Rice walking out together at a rally in Ohio...
I can also imagine Powell, Rice, and others not wanting to look like the token black person. Which is exactly what they'd look like.
It's about smart campaigning indeed.
The whole idea of them joining the campaign...
...would be to recruit Black conservatives and at the same time dispel the concept among blacks that the GOP is a racist white party. Black Repub's should be aggressive about that task that they can accomplish as few others can. And this is their opportunity. The icing on the cake would also be votes for McCain among those with "white guilt" who because of that [and only because of that] are going to vote Obama.
Of course we'd expect the left, as those above, to throw the "token black" and "Uncle Tom" slings and arrows as usual. That would be viewed for the negative, hateful tripe that it is. Not to worry about but simply ignore it. DD
I wish that would work,
but seriously the vast majority of blacks have long ago refused to think for themselves, and look to the poverty pimps, race hustlers and liberal Democrat politicians to tell them what to do. Any black conservative will simply been seen as "acting white" and white liberals will simply them that it is all a scam that will somehow "lynch them all if they fall for it".
No todays blacks are happlily back in bondage to the wlefare-state plantation. White liberal Democrats can continue to keep "blacks in their place" without then need of the KKK or Jim Crow policies.
Once again, the target here are the victims of...
..."white guilt". ( LINK ) I'm convinced that there are millions of anglo's out there who are going to pull the lever for Obama because they suffer from this "condition". Many of these "infirmed" could be turned by the visual presence of our Titan's. Regarding the Black vote, if the GOP could pull as little as 3% more than usual it would be huge. I have to believe that there are many a Black American out there who are just as frightened of Obama's socialism as we are. Many former Hillary supporters, etc. There are opportunities.
I'll be very disappointed w/Condi if she doesn't make at least one campaign appearance on McCains behalf. The Republican Party has been good to her. Lets face it, the GOP nomination was hers for the taking. She obviously didn't want it. She needs to give something back to the party as does Colin Powell. This is their chance. DD
"Can you imagine Sarah Palin
"Can you imagine Sarah Palin and Condi Rice walking out together"
Yeah, it'd remind people that McCain and Palin look like an odd couple together, like Bush and Rice do.
"Or McCain and Colin Powell? "
No, I literally can't imagine that. Powell hasn't even endorsed McCain for president and there have been rumours that he is going to endorse Obama.
Well considering that the polls have narrowed in the last few..
days, I would say perhaps not. Obama now has to defend against ACORN voter fraud, his friend the unrepentant Pentagon bomber and cop killer Bill Ayers, Raila Odinga who is the Marixst, pro-genocide, pro-Islamofascist dictator of Kenya that he supported last year (and happens to be his cousin), Rev. Wright and Tony Rezko rather run more attack ads against McCain.
Having to outspend >3:1 for a 1% improvement is a pretty expensive marginal benefit. However, if you don't have to worry about spending limits because of not accepting federal money, and instead financing through hundreds of millions of dollars from foreigners and unions, it probably doesn't matter. I expect this same "cost-consciousness" to carry over to an Obama administration if - God forbid - he wins.

10 Ways to Cut Back on Salt
by Robin Miller in Healthy Tips, April 9, 2013
A staggering study out of the University of California revealed that if Americans dramatically cut their sodium intake to 1,500 mg per day, up to 1.2 million deaths could be prevented over the next 10 years, deaths largely caused by heart disease or stroke. Despite the American Heart Association's recommendation that healthy people get 1,500 milligrams of sodium per day, with an upper limit of 2,300 mg (about 1 teaspoon), the average American eats close to 3,600 mg, largely through processed food. Reducing salt intake is important for everyone, not just the small subset of people who are salt sensitive.
Here's how to do it:
1. Relinquish Processed Foods
Yes, we all rely on processed foods at times. But considering that one slice of wheat bread can have up to 200 mg of sodium, imagine what's lurking in a prepared meal or side dish. Read labels and opt for lower sodium dishes whenever possible.
2. Become Condiment Savvy
Always embellish your sandwiches and salads yourself so can control the amount of salt and the amount of condiments you use. Vinegar is virtually salt-free (2 mg per 2 teaspoons) while mustard, relish, mayonnaise and ketchup can have up to 100 mg per teaspoon.
3. Keep Sauces & Dips in Check
Pasta and pizza sauce can have up to 900 mg of sodium per ½ cup serving and hummus and guacamole can have 200-300 mg per serving (2 tablespoons). Yes, tomato sauces, guacamole and hummus can be super nutritious, so enjoy them, and then balance out your sodium intake in other areas.
4. Get in the Grind
Toast whole spices like cumin and fennel seeds in a dry skillet, then grind the seeds in a coffee grinder; use flavorful spices in recipes and you'll find that you need less salt. You can also sprinkle the ground seasonings over finished dishes instead of salt.
5. Love Lemons (and Limes, Oranges and Grapefruit)
Citrus juice and zest adds a burst of fresh flavor to sweet and savory dishes without adding any salt.
6. Forget Fast Food
This is a no-brainer, so consider this tip a friendly reminder: At one popular national chain, a small cheeseburger delivers over 700 mg of sodium, the chicken Caesar wrap has 1,210 mg, the veggie burger has 1,030 mg, and even their garden salad with chicken, cranberries and apples has 930 mg.
7. Cut Salt at the Stove
When cooking, remember that 1/4 teaspoon of salt has 600 mg of sodium. When a recipe calls for a "pinch" or "to taste", simply leave it out or use very little.
8. Dress Well
Bottled salad dressing is a huge culprit when it comes to salt overload. One serving (2 tablespoons) can deliver over 1,000 mg of sodium. Read labels and opt for reduced-sodium varieties or make your own dressings with oil, vinegar, fresh herbs and minced chives.
9. Hit it with Herbs
When cooking, add dried herbs at the beginning of cooking and fresh herbs just before serving. Both add tons of flavor without any sodium.
10. Can Those Cans
Salt is a preservative so it's used heavily in canned goods to prolong shelf life. Look for reduced-sodium canned foods, and for things like canned beans and vegetables, rinse them under cold water before using.

Hello All,
I am new to this forum and looking for some information on whether or not I should have put in a vapor barrier in the basement. My home was built in Atlanta in 2007/2008. Long and short, I used a contractor to start renovations in an unfinished basement. He turned out to be crooked and was not delivering the quality I was epecting so I fired him. He only did the first step - framing. After I let him go, I pulled all the permits for the baement to try and handle the renovations myself. I got the electrical and plumbing done to code (I hired the contactors). However, I initially didn't pass the framing inspection. I was told I had to do fireblocking around the walls and add insulation before they could pass me. which was done and I ended up passing inspection. The inspector told me that I didn't need to put insulation on the cement walls (just the plywood walls on the inside - I used R19). When he gave me a pass, I went ahead and got the drywall put in. Now I am reading all these boards about putting up a vapor barrier on the cement walls to prevent molding (I stmbled across this information when I was looking for information on the best type of flooring to put in a basement). I am really concerned now since I am at the paint and trim stage. Just looking for some advice on what options - if any - exist after the drywall stage? Some info on my bsement 1 - it is a walk out basement - most of the walls are above ground with the exception of the garage area which was converted to a theater room -most of the walls in the theater room are cement and are below ground 2- the studs in the theater room are about 1/4 inch away from the cement wall - not directly agaist the cement 3. Insulation was only added to the top of the wall area in the theater room that was not cement - insulation was not added to the cement walls Any advice would be greatly appreciated -Please note that I am far from a handywoman. I have been getting most of my information online. |
Follow-Up Postings:
See link below. You're mixing up a vapour barrier with a moisture barrier. The only one you would have been advised to have installed was a moisture barrier on the concrete wall. But since the insulation--and I'll assume it's fiberglass--isn't touching the wall, don't worry. In your climate, though, to avoid basement mould problems use a portable dehumidifer to keep the moisture levels below 50 per cent relative humidity. |

September 1, 1997
The story this week comes to us from Saskatchewan. The author, Colleen Rosset, is a student at the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (S.I.A.S.T.). Colleen is the mother of one child and has been married for almost 2 years. She has two sisters and one brother. She is the oldest in her family.
Diabetes is a fairly dreadful disease. I know that for a fact because my grandmother on my mom's side has it, and the reason I say it is a dreadful disease is because a couple of years back my grandmother had an accident, and it happened when she took her insulin and had just turned the stove off, and was getting ready to eat. Unfortunately she had fallen and when she came to, she found herself under the kitchen table. When she got to the hospital, she found out she needed a hip operation, and we just about lost her because of it. She stayed in the hospital for 3½ months. She is having so much trouble, and they can't do anything about it because they will lose her if they operate again.
The two types of diabetes are, type 1 or insulin independent, type 2, or non-independent. What happens when you have diabetes is that you have high levels of sugar in the form of glucose in both the blood and urine. This disease occurs when the body does not produce enough of the hormone insulin or when the body's cells can not use the insulin that is available even if there is a sufficient amount, so if you have to take your insulin by needle make sure you eat after you take your needle or you maybe in a lot of trouble.
How they test diabetes is they take a glucose tolerance test, which is used to diagnose diabetes. It measures insulin activity by monitoring the level of glucose, or sugar, in the blood and urine. The urine is also tested for glucose as well as for bacteria, protein, and other materials. Glucose in the urine is usually caused by diabetes when the blood sugar is too high.
The last thing that I want to say is I am actually glad I still have my grandmother around for a little while longer. I am hoping she is around for a long time yet but that is for God to decide. I am also hoping that she doesn't have to use a walker or a cane and will be able to walk on her own soon.
People who have diabetes should check their blood sugar, everyday to find out where it is. When it is too low then they eat something with sugar in it to boost up their blood sugar. If it's too high, they could be in a lot of trouble

Yep! We watched a bunch of them last weekend! Treasure Island, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Old Yeller!
Turner Classic Movies is showing a ton of Disney live action films every Sunday this month and this Sunday they have a new special "Age of Believing - The Disney Live Action Classics"
And the fact that they can purposely mis-quote a song from "Bedknobs & Broomsticks" shows someone knows what they're doing.
8pm on Sunday the 14th & 11:45pm on Sunday the 21st.
Yep! We watched a bunch of them last weekend! Treasure Island, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Old Yeller!
I ended up Tivo'ing every movie I'd never seen before including the documentary, plus a couple I hadn't seen since I was a kid. It was a lot of fun. A lot of the films are dated but still fun to watch for the nostalgia, others still hold up over time. The documentary was alright, a bit general as they were trying to cover pretty much 75 years worth of history in an hour twenty, but I did appreciate that they were frank about the studio's failures after Walt died.
Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.
I watched the special about all of the movies but have not seen many of them. I've seen Mary Poppins and Bedknobs and Broomsticks but can't remember anything else. Watched a bit of the Nutty Professor tho. And I made sure to stay away from Old Yeller.

Jeweled Lobsters, Satin Turbans, and Oops-You-Missed-a-Spot Hairy Ankles: A Guide to Christian Lacroix for Schiaparelli Couture
- Fashion
It's been almost 60 years since Elsa Schiaparelli's atelier closed its doors, but by the looks of today's Willy Wonka–inflected couture show for the newly resuscitated label, the "shocking" fashion house is back, with more fantastically impractical offerings than ever.
Acquired by Tod's Diego Della Valle six years ago, the brand debuted Christian Lacroix's one-time-only collaboration at the Musée Arts Decoratifs in Paris this morning as part of the city's fall/winter 2013/2014 Fashion Week. As much a revival for the House of Schiaparelli as it is for Lacroix, whose eponymous studio shuttered in 2009, the show's 18-piece homage featured an elaborate mash-up of pom-poms, veiled headdresses, and bead-encrusted neck braces.
Unfortunately for Lady Gaga, the fur-festooned collection is not for sale. Still, admirers of the avant-garde creations needn't despair. Here at VF Daily, we've spotlighted a handful of Lacroix's most accessible designs. So go ahead. DIY a cone hat.

I'm looking for another version of lasagna to try- no sausage, just ground meat. Do you use ricotta or cottage cheese? If you have a tried and true recipe I'd love it if you would take the time to share it! Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
No recipe, per se. I take ground beef, drain it, saute minced garlic in it (2-3 cloves) and then add sauce. I like Rozzano brand from BJ's, (the ingredients: imported italian tomatoes, pure italian olive oil, fresh onions, fresh basil, fresh garlic, sea salt and spices). Cook a box of lasagne noodles and I spread them on foil to prevent sticking. Mix together a large container of ricotta cheesse with a generous handful of shredded parmesan and one egg. Add a tbs or so of something green (I prefer oregano, but have used parsley). Spread plain sauce on the bottom of the lasagne pan. Put a layer of noodles. cover with meat sauce. Use a spoon and pot dollops of the ricotta mixture over the meat layer. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the ricotta. Place 4 noodles over to cover. Press down gently for an even layer. Repeat. I usually get four layers and end up with a noodle layer which I cover with plain sauce and then sprinkle parm on top. Bake for about 45 min at 350. Sorry so vague, but it is a basic outline. Jo |
Close to what I do....but I make my own sauce. Chop- a big onion and a small green pepper, sautee in about 2 T olive oil....add 4 or 5 cloves of chopped garlic and cook another 4 or 5 minutes. Add a big can of good Italian canned tomatoes (4 in one, or another good brand) and one ot canned tomato puree ( not sauce!) and a c 6 oz can of continadina tomato paste. Fill the can with dry red wine and add to the sauce....add a bay leaf, 2 T chopped fresh Italian parsley, 2 tsps dried ogegano and 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh basil. Simmer uncovered until thick.....about an hour. Sautee 2 pound of ground beef breaking up, until no longer pink...add about a cup of the sauce and continue to cook...perhaps adding more sauce as needed....should be a thick meaty "stuff." A carton of Ricotta, which in my area is 1 1/2 cups, 2 eggs, a good handful of fresh chopped parsley about 1/2 cup of grated mozerella and a good grinding of black pepper.....easily 1/2 to 3/4 tsp. Then layer....a ladle of sauce, noodles, meat cooked with the sauce, dollops of the ricotta, a generous sprinkle of grated parm, noodles, meat sauce, ricotta and parm....noodles and sauce and lots of grated mozzerella and grated parm.. Cook immediatly at 375 for about 35 minutes, until browned and bubbley ( I am assuming the sauces are hot)...or refrigerate and bake covered at 350 for about 1 1/4 hours....remove foil during last 20 minutes or so. Let it rest easily 20 minutes before cutting. Freeze extra sauce...or cook more meat and buy more ricotta and make another lasagna!! |
I guess you wouldn't have to use the sausage in this, but it is my family's favourite just the way it is. I usually triple it and freeze two. I have a few good recipes from Joe - he made a lot of good contributions. Joes Killer Lasagn(from Joe at the Cooking Forum) 1 medium onion -- chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 pound ground beef 1/2 pound Italian sausage -- casings removed and broken up 1/2 pound ground veal 2 cloves garlic -- minced 4 ounces mushrooms -- chopped 15 ounces tomato sauce 12 ounces tomato paste 1/2 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon oregano -- leaves 1 teaspoon basil -- crushed 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar 8 ounces mozzarella cheese -- thinly sliced 1 pound Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese 12 ounces lasagna noodles Saute the chopped onion in the olive oil. Add and cook the ground meats, starting with the sausage, then the beef, then the veal. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook. Drain. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, water, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer covered for 1-1/2 hours. Cook the lasagna noodles while sauce is simmering. Use 10 to 16 pieces depending on the width of the noodles. Drain, rinse, drain again. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover the bottom of the dish with a thin layer of the sauce. Layer: 1/3 of the noodles, 1/3 of the sauce, 1/3 of the Ricotta cheese (in dollops), 1/3 of the Mozzarella. Repeat twice more. Cover with the Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for 40-50 minutes, or until bubbly. Joe |

Joes Killer Lasagn(from Joe at the Cooking Forum) 1 medium onion -- chopped 3 tablespoons olive oil 1/2 pound ground beef 1/2 pound Italian sausage -- casings removed and broken up 1/2 pound ground veal 2 cloves garlic -- minced 4 ounces mushrooms -- chopped 15 ounces tomato sauce 12 ounces tomato paste 1/2 cup dry red wine 1/2 cup water 1 teaspoon oregano -- leaves 1 teaspoon basil -- crushed 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper 1/2 teaspoon sugar 8 ounces mozzarella cheese -- thinly sliced 1 pound Ricotta cheese 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese 12 ounces lasagna noodles Saute the chopped onion in the olive oil. Add and cook the ground meats, starting with the sausage, then the beef, then the veal. Add the garlic and mushrooms. Cook. Drain. Add the tomato sauce, tomato paste, wine, water, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer covered for 1-1/2 hours. Cook the lasagna noodles while sauce is simmering. Use 10 to 16 pieces depending on the width of the noodles. Drain, rinse, drain again. Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Cover the bottom of the dish with a thin layer of the sauce. Layer: 1/3 of the noodles, 1/3 of the sauce, 1/3 of the Ricotta cheese (in dollops), 1/3 of the Mozzarella. Repeat twice more. Cover with the Parmesan cheese. Bake uncovered in a 350-degree oven for 40-50 minutes, or until bubbly. Joe |
Linked below is my favorite lasagna recipe because it uses regular lasagna noodles but you don't have to cook them first. It was (maybe still is?) printed on Skinner lasagna boxes and I discovered this recipe through a friend about 100 years ago or so and have always used it since. Note that it calls for a 32 oz jar of spaghetti sauce, but normally I make an equivalent amount of my own sauce, so either way works. I do use ricotta and you can do this same recipe with whatever meat or sausage you like, or even vegetarian as I've done cubed eggplant and I've done spinach. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Virginia's Easy Lasagna
Here is a simple (not gourmet), no boil recipe, that always gets rave reviews when I make it. My family does not like ricotta and this uses cottage cheese. It can also be made ahead and refrigerated. Ingredients: Directions: Hint: order the lasagna --- 2 cups sauce, noodles, half the cheesy-egg mixture, 2 cups sauce, noodles, remaining half of cheesy-egg mixture, 2 cups sauce |
Lasagna is one of those things that varies each time I make it. I don't follow a recipe, rather use an outline or guidelines. As you'll note in the recipes, basically they're very similar. It's little variances that personalize it. Noodles, beef, sauce and mozzarella cheese will make a very edible lasagna. It's the foundation you build on. I like a mixture of meats in there. I usually use ground beef, pork sausage and pepperoni (microwaved a bit to render out some of the fat) and occasionally add cooked bacon or if I have leftover ribs or meatloaf I'll put that in there too. I've even put some bratwurst in there at times. It's flexible. You mentioned using ground meat so I'm not sure if you mean only ground beef or other ground meat or a mixture. Whatever you like. I quit boiling the noodles a long time ago and don't buy the "no boil" type. No need to. Just have enough moisture and you're fine. If the sauce is thick, I will thin it with some beer which adds flavor and usually a dash of Louisiana Hot Sauce and occasionally a tablespoon or so of BBQ sauce. I add onion to the meats. I usually use ricotta (don't really like cottage cheese) but if I don't have it I don't panic. Garlic, Lemon Pepper and Italian Seasoning are the base seasonings I use depending on the sauce. Whatever else I feel like. Just don't overseason it. To me, the secret of a great lasagna over decent, OK or good is using multiple cheeses. Lots of mozzarella, but I also add some Swiss, Cojack, Pepper Jack or whatever I have along with parmesan. I usually figure a minimum of 5-7 different cheeses to make for a good lasagna. And I usually get compliments about it. As mentioned, let it sit to set up a bit, give some great garlic bread with seasonings and a nice salad and you have a great meal. |

Hmmm, I admit, I do have certain lasagna preferences and it has to do with layering, for the most part. I prefer the meat sauce and the cheese to each have their own layer and the final topping to be meat sauce so that the final layer doesn't get hard- no foil. Various meats and cheeses, but not cottage cheese lol!, are fine. Really good lasagne has homemade noodles, fresh mozzarella, homemade sauce ( that has cooked all day), fresh basil and whole milk ricotta. |
I've made Joe's Killer lasagna and it's really good. I've made my own pasta and that's really good too. I've even made my own mozzarella. However, I seldom make lasagna and when I do I portion it out so a pan goes to Amanda, one goes to Ashley and one goes to my stepmother's freezer, I can't seem to make a small batch of lasagna. If I'm in a hurry I'll make a quick lasagna by browning ground beef, mixing it with a quart of my homecanned tomato basil sauce, then doing the noodle/sauce/cheese layers. I've never used ricotta because it's usually not available at my small town grocery, we've always used cottage cheese and it works fine. Mozzarella, of course, or a four cheese Italian blend if I buy already grated cheese. I like to grate my own, it melts better. Annie |

That Virginia's Easy Lasagna recipe is also the one I've used for years, got it off some lasagna noodles box many many years ago! So easy and so good! Sometimes I use ricotta and sometimes I use cottage cheese, whatever the mood hits me. I think I actually like Cottage cheese the best. |
I make the recipe on the box of Barilla no boil noodles. With a jar of Barilla sauce of whatever flavor catches my eye. I'll hide now. But I also really like the portobello mushroom lasagna Jo posted a while back. I add fresh spinach to it and make my own lasagna noodles from scratch. The Barilla version is much easier. :) Eileen |

I haven't made Joey's Killer in a while but it's great. As I recall, he specifically developed it as a sturdy lasagna that would stand tall rather than a very saucey, cheesey one that kind of collapses on your plate. The sausage adds something, but if you don't want it just leave it out. Unless you use a bad jarred sauce, I think it's pretty tough to screw up lasagna too badly. Bumblebeez - It caught my eye when you mentioned using fresh mozzarella in your lasagna. How does that work out? I've never used fresh as a melting cheese like that, and there are conflicting reports on the web. Some say it expels much of the moisture and turns to rubber and others say it works fine. Do you grate it or slice it or dice it or what? I prefer fresh, cost is about the same (they hand make it at my supermarket - salted and unsalted) but like I said I've never used it hot. |
- Posted by Bumblebeez (My Page) on Thu, Sep 20, 12 at 21:45
I always prefer fresh mozzarella over the other kind. Unless I use little pearls or balls, I slice it. Love it on pizza with fresh tomatoes, basil, some goat cheese. Some brands are better than others. |
I agree with all of the above. But remember, the pasta will absorb a LOT of the sauce, so, like baked zitti, I make it almost a soup, before baking. |
It's a lot of work, but it's the very best I've ever had. LASAGNA 3 Tablespoons Butter Sautďż˝ Garlic, Carrot, Onion, Mushrooms and Celery in Butter until tender. Add Ground Beef and Italian Sausage and cook until done. Skim off as much of the grease as possible at this point. Transfer to a large stock pot. Add all of the spices at this point, as well as the Stewed Tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. After two hours, add the Tomato Paste and taste to correct seasonings. Skim any additional grease that has come up during cooking. Sauce is ready for use. Assembly: In a large, deep baking pan, spoon about one cup of sauce, add a layer of noodles, more sauce, Mozzarella Cheese, Noodles, Sauce, Cottage Cheese, Noodles, Sauce, Cottage Cheese and Mozzarella, Noodles and Sauce. Top with the Parmesan Cheese. Tent the pan with foil so that it isn't touching the cheese, and bake in a preheated 350oF oven until heated through, about one hour. This also freezes beautifully, and can be reheated in the microwave. Steve |

Thanks everyone for taking the time to post the great recipes - my mother always used ricotta instead of cottage cheese so that's what I did, but I'm ready to branch out and try some different versions- I don't make lasagna a lot, but like Annie, when I do I portion it out and freeze for various college students in my life.... I am going to give several of these a try and see what the family likes best- thanks again |
This is different from the lasagna that most people make in that you layer the meat sauce and sheets of pasta with a bechamel sauce instead of ricotta cheese and eggs. It is rich, creamy, and delicious. Fresh lasagna sheets make this dish particularly good. This freezes well. Just thaw and bake. Lasagna with Bechamel Saute onion, garlic, and parsley in hot olive oil until onions are soft. Add ground beef and stir until meat is browned. Add remaining ingredients and let simmer over low heat until sauce has thickened. Remove excess fat, if desired. Set aside. Bechamel Sauce: Saute onions in butter until soft. Add flour, cook about 5 minutes. Add milk gradually and stir constantly until sauce is thick, about 10 minutes. Take sauce off heat and add parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted. Season to taste. Pasta: Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Remove lasagna from hot water and place each noodle on wax lined baking sheet. Stack noodles between sheets of wax paper. Assembly: Bake at 325 oven for about 20 minutes, then set oven to broil until surface is bubbly gold. |
janicep, We also prefer lasagna made with bechemel. I live in Connecticut, the state with the nation's highest concentration of Italians. So, lots of really good Italian food. With so many wonderful choices available though there's really not much need to make it at home. Usually, I just buy a couple trays and freeze but thanks for the recipe. /tricia |
Here is a link that might be useful: Italians in CT
I swear I've tried every version of lasagna known to mankind and have settled on one that also uses Bechamel. Mine is slightly different from Janice's. I don't mix the Bechamel/mozzarella layer with the Meat sauce layer and I use packaged fresh lasagna noodles from the market. I don't boil the noodles. I layer a small amount of meat sauce, then noodles, then Bechamel and mozzarella (I use fresh mozzarella), then noodles etc. Finishing with a Bechamel layer. I don't make any of the layers too heavy and end up with quite a few more noodles than when I make a traditional lasagna. It's a very delicate lasagna...Clive's favourite but the kids prefer "real lasagna" ! |
Here's mine, and it always gets raves. You could easily use ground beef instead of sausage. I learned to make this from my Italian friend. Italian Sausage Lasagna Serves 8-12 2 medium onions, chopped Cook onion in oil until soft; add sausage and garlic and cook, stirring, until sausage is brown and crumbly. Discard excess fat. Stir in tomato paste, tomatoes, wine, water, salt, oregano, basil, pepper and sugar. Simmer uncovered for about 1-1/2 hours. Cook lasagna noodles. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. [OR, use this tried-and-true method shared by Ina Garten (I tried it, and it works!): Fill a large bowl with the hottest tap water; add the noodles and let them sit in the water for 20 minutes. Drain.] Mix beaten eggs with ricotta; add 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley. Butter a 9�13-inch or larger non-aluminum baking dish (see note). Spread a thin layer of sauce over the bottom. Arrange 1/3 of the noodles in an even layer over the sauce. Spread 1/3 sauce over the noodles, dot with 1/3 of the ricotta mixture then 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat layering 2 more times. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top. Bake covered at 350F for 30 minutes; remove cover and bake uncovered for 15 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Note: Be sure to use a non-aluminum baking pan. Aluminum may react with the acid in the tomatoes to create a black, mushy, metallic-tasting mess � trust me, it isn�t good! This may also happen if the foil cover touches the tomato sauce for extended periods. Instead, use a glass, stoneware, or stainless-steel pan, and cover with foil right before baking. If refrigerating or freezing prior to baking (or after), cover the dish with plastic wrap and replace with the foil just prior to baking. |

There has been a lot of press lately about the expansion of the unavoidable 'Facebook Ads' so if you're looking to jump on the bandwagon and target new customers with your products but aren't quite sure how to get started, look no further, just follow these 7 simple steps…
Step #1 Create Your Page
First things first, if you don't already have one, you will need to set up a Facebook profile for your business. Creating a Page is completely free and you can update it with new offers and industry news to increase user engagement moving forward.
Top tip – Make sure you promote your Facebook Page (and any other social networking sites) on your main website – this will increase the traffic to the page and result in increased exposure through features such as 'Likes' and 'Shares'.
Step #2 Set up the destination URL
From the settings icon at the top of your company page, select 'Create an Advert'. This will navigate you to the Ads area and start the setup process running! The first thing to decide on is where you want to direct users. You have the option of sending them to the shiny new company page you have created, or another Facebook area such as an 'Event'. Alternatively, you may wish to direct the audience to your main website.
Step #3 Pick Your Objective
Depending on which option you choose, you will see slightly different screens when you proceed. If you opt to use your Facebook domain as the landing page for the Ads, you will then need to decide what you would like to achieve; Get More Likes, Promote Page Posts, or Advanced Options (where you can tweak the settings as you like).
Step #4 Design Your Ad
Again, this will depend on which (Ad) road you have chosen to go down, but they're pretty similar, the only differences being;
• If you have decided to promote page posts, you will be given the option to select which post to drive the audience toward, or alternatively you can create a new post or promote the most recent ones.
• If you are targeting your website or the main Facebook page in general, you will be shown a screen to input the body of your Ad.
The Ads are quite space restricted, as are the character limits. Headlines can be up to 25 Characters and the main Text up to 90 so it is really important to choose a short, sharp message that will grab the attention of your audience base whilst also being relevant to your product (so they know what they are clicking for).
Once you have sorted the text, upload an eye catching logo and you will see the Ad Preview take shape on the right hand side of the screen.
Step #5 Selecting Your Audience
Next on the list is to choose your target audience. The options are so extensive so you can really drill down to specific groups of users. The options are split out into nice little sections so you can take it one step at a time. Options include age, location, interests and even relationship status. This information is gathered from a user's profile so be prepared for some radical "Precise Interests" options.
Tip: Keep an eye on the Audience count on the right hand side – this will give you an indication of the effect your selected options will have on your exposure.
Step #6 Enter Your Campaign Info
Choose a name for your campaign – you can have multiple ads within each campaign so you will be able to group them in the same way as you do with Google Adwords. Next, select your budget and pricing options – these may vary slightly depending on your previous selections.
Step #7 Review Your Ad
All that's left now is to review your ad and see how it'll appear to your audience and who it's going to appear to. If you want to make any change it's not too late, just hit the 'Edit' button and you'll be directed back a step. If you want to give your ad a different name, you can change it here too, especially relevant if you are going to have multiple Ads within one campaign.
Once you're happy with everything, 'Place Order' and your Ad is ready…pending editorial review.
And that's it. All done in 7 simple steps!

If you have limited income, you may qualify for extra help paying your prescription drug costs. The annual income limit for this extra help is $14,355 for a single person or $19,245 for a couple.
The Social Security Administration's online qualifier tool can tell you whether you probably qualify or probably do not qualify for assistance with your prescription drug costs. It uses information you enter about your income and things you own. (Your home, vehicles, burial plots or personal possessions are not included.) Once you complete the application, send it back to Social Security.
The extra help application is also available for you to complete on the Social Security Administration's Web site.
You can also get an extra help application from the following agencies. These agencies are also available to help you with completing the application.
Based on your application, the Social Security Administration will let you know by mail whether you do or do not qualify for the extra help. If you do qualify, you will have help with monthly premiums, deductibles and low co-payments for prescription drugs. If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, or the State pays for your Medicare premiums, you will automatically get extra help and do not need to apply.
You will then be asked to enroll in a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan of your choice. If you qualify for extra help paying your prescription drug costs and you do not choose a plan, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services will enroll you in a drug plan.

My mistake. After reviewing my notes I see the prob. of external hazards (not talking about core failures or operational error since the core didn't fail, it was a giant wave) is between 1:10000 years to 1:1000000 years. With over 13000 reactor years it's not an altogether unexpected event.

Finally the moisturize anyone would buy - this serum is simply AWESOME. First I love the smell, fresh with slight floral undertones. My combo skin drinks this serum up, I literally feel my skin drinking it! No oily greasy feeling, no tacky sticky heavy feeling. It feels like it plumps my skin. No breakouts - my husband says my skin looks better.

To add to what bear said, eventually, over time, the swelling will cause a certain amount of warping, and eventually, the comb will not completely return to it's normal state. My old Marine Band had a permanent hump between 4 and 7 that at its apex, protruded almost 1/16th of an inch from the plates when dry. Again, the only reason I no longer play it is because the #5 draw reed gave out. It played great until I blew that reed, and the rest of the harp still plays just fine (although it may be a little flat from so much use). The one I have now shows barely any signs of swelling, but then again, I've been taking better care of it, but there is a slight swelling around 5 & 6. ---------------------------------------- Club Member Frank

So far we love the Learning tower! My 16 month old loves to be apart of the process and this is a great way to include him in the kitchen. He's not a fan of the high chair but gets excited when he's in the Learning Tower. Best money I've spent on him so far!!! Thank you!
Posted by Jennifer on 12th Dec 2013
My father asked about a gift that he could purchase for my daughter, his first granddaughter. I immediately started searching for a learning tower and found that the best reviews were for the Little Partners Learning Tower. My father purchased the Learning Tower and the art easel, and the Playhouse Kit came with it as a holiday special.
Although my daughter will not turn one until February,I set up the Learning Tower just days after it arrived. I was impressed at how solid the pieces were and how easy it was to put together! I cannot tell you how grateful that I was that all tools needed to put together the items were included!
Even though my daughter cannot use the tower for it's intended purpose yet, she is enjoying crawling under it and walking around it.
Thank you for this wonderful product!!!
Posted by Christina on 8th Dec 2013
My son loved his learning tower since day one. He was an early walker and he always got underfoot in the kitchen or wanted to be picked up to see what was going on. Since we got this for him at 14 months (early), it has been a special place for him. We put him in it and he learned pretty quickly how to get out when he wants. So, it gives him independence when he seeks it. He also loves to play in it, watch/help me cook in it. Clean the counter top in front of it, etc. I can't say enough about this -- especially if you have some sort of bar/peninsula/island in your kitchen, this is a must-have!
