Hi all, I
I'm making eggplant parmesan, which I haven't made in a long time. I thought I used to peel the eggplant, but none of the recipes I'm finding actually say to peel it. Should I? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Eggplant certainly doesn't need to be peeled, however I tend to decide that if it's large thick skinned I peel, small & thin skinned then I don't bother. |
I prefer it peeled....but you don't have to. I also peel tomatoes. Linda C |
- Posted by catherinet (My Page) on Sun, Oct 21, 07 at 18:51
Thanks Lucy and Linda. |
I very seldom peel eggplant. It would have to have a very thick skin before I would peel it. Ann |
I tend to peel but I think I haven't had a nice thin skinned eggplant. |
- Posted by eileenlaunonen (My Page) on Mon, Oct 22, 07 at 8:18
I always peel my eggplant I find sometimes the skin can give a bitter or tough taste....IMO |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Mon, Oct 22, 07 at 19:22
I don't peel - the salting at the beginning takes care of any bitterness, for me at least. I haven't made that in a while, and it's one of my favorite recipes, especially when made with Panko. Lars |

I picked up my beef last Friday. The grilled T-bones on Saturday were wonderful!
Now, what would you do with Round Steak? I don't like it as "steak" per se. It's tougher than most. Sometimes I use it in soup or chili. I may use some for a batch of Mesquite Jerky, but I've got several small packages (Annie, FYI...hanging weight was only 317 for the whole thing! Very small, but well marbled!! Yahoo!) I'd love to see your favorite recipes! Deanna |

I cut into small portions, pound it thin, dredge in flour, brown it, put in a roaster with 2 onions chopped up and a bunch of sliced mushrooms and some herbs and some beef broth, (Maybe 1-1-1/2 cups), and cook slow (300) for about 2-1/2 hours. The liquid makes a fine base for gravy. Hmmm. I know what we might be having for supper this week. Sherry |
- Posted by sally_grower (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 15:53
What I do is very similar to Sherry. I cut it into appropriate portions and pound it with a meat hammer or a heavy knife, but I pound lots of flour into the meat. I then brown it and add sliced onions and some water or beef stock, and cook it in an electric skillet for a couple of hours. Just let it simmer. I serve it with mashed potatoes. I made this the day that I went to the hospital to have my first baby, when I was just starting labor....fond memories! I was trying to hurry things along by staying busy! I think of that day every time I make this and it is one of our family favorites. |
317 for the whole thing? How old was he? Actually, Hamilton Berger was a really big guy last year, my half hanging was about 400 pounds but his brother, the one I sold half of, was about 280 pounds hanging weight for half. This year's beef isn't going to be as big as Hamilton was, but next year's is a monster already. No absolutes in the beef business, LOL. The round steak? I use it for braciole, I make chop suey for Ashley by cutting up round, putting it into the pressure cooker and cooking it until it's tender, then thicken the broth, add soy sauce and a can of chop suey vegetables, serve with rice. She loves it, I could live without it, LOL. I've fixed it like Sherry describes and I use it for swiss steak. I've been known to use it for chili and vegetable soup too. Since I like my beef extremely rare, I've even grilled it and eaten it like any other steak, and used the leftovers for shepherd's pie or beef pot pie. If it's nicely marbled and cooked rare, it's not bad. Not Porterhouse, certainly, but not bad. Annie |
- Posted by terri_pacnw (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 16:06
I cube it for chili or stroganoff, strips for broccoli beef, or fajitas. |
My mother always pounded the heck out of it, put it into her pressure cooker and made Swiss Steak. Somewhere i have the recipe. I'll dig it out later. I don't like that kind of meat now either, but in the old days, this used to be one of my favorites. |
- Posted by bumblebeez (My Page) on Mon, Sep 14, 09 at 17:00
Ditto...Swiss Steak. |
I make Rouladen. Easy, hearty, and always a family favorite. |
Deanna: Do you want a Recipe and Photo tutorial for the , Surf and Turf, 6 lb Bracioli Roast. Lou |
I use it for chicken fried steak, smothered steak, swiss steak and sometimes for stroganoff, most of the time I use sirloin for stroganoff. |
Deanna, I make a version of "Salisbury Steak" using round steak. And a TEx-Mex steak and potato dish that I serve in flour tortillas. Salisbury Steak In Mushroom And Green Peppercorn Sauce What I call "Diner" Food. Serve with mashed potatoes and your favourite veggies. Sauce 1/2 small onion chopped Saute onions in 2 Tablespoons of olive oil until tender but not browned. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. In a bowl combined ground sirloin, parsley, thyme, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce and salt and pepper. Add onions and garlic and mix well. (I use my hands). Brown the patties in a heavy skillet in a little olive oil. You can also brown these in a grill pan. Remove the meat from the pan. Add a little more oil if needed and saute the onions, garlic and mushrooms. Sprinkle with a little flour, cook for a couple of minutes and add the broth and the green peppercorns. Add the patties to the pan, cover and simmer on low for at least one hour. Make sure there is enough sauce to almost cover the steaks. Salisbury steak should be very tender and not have the texture of a just fried hamburger. Simmering the meat n the gravy also enhances the flavour of the sauce. ============================================================ Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Mexican Steak In flour Tortillas. Option: Add some cubed potatoes towards end of cooking time and simmer until tender. |
I make pepper steak using round steak No real recipe, just wing it. Cut thin slices of round steak and marinate in low sodium soy sauce for several hours or overnight. Slice onions and green peppers and saute in small amount of oil till softened. Remove peppers and onions to serving bowl, then saute round steak strips on high heat,(done in batches)and add to onions and peppers. De glaze the pan with 2 cups of water, make a slurry of cornstarch and water and add to pan stirring constantly till thickened. Pour over beef, peppers and onions. Serve with rice. Di |
Oh, I play lazy when I do round steak. Put it in the crockpot (using a liner) with an undiluted can of cream of mushroom soup. Eight hours later when I get home, we have the most melt-in-your-mouth beef with gravy. I mash potatoes and fix whatever other sides we might want. Like I said, its a lazy way to do it, not gourmet by any means, but really good. |
Stew..... Brown the cut up meat in an iron Dutch oven, with onions, peppers, mushrooms a bit of garlic, add about 1/2 a bottle of dry red wine....cook slowly a couple of hours, correct seasonings....and serve with noodles, or mashed potatoes or whatever. Linda C |
- Posted by publickman (My Page) on Tue, Sep 15, 09 at 2:32
I grind it into hamburger meat and generally make meatloaf with it, although Ann's Salisbury steak looks like a better option for the ground meat. I would never leave it as steak, although you can slice it very thinly and make a Thai or Vietnamese beef salad with it. I almost never cook beef since DB won't eat it. Lars |
Thank you ALL! I'm saving this whole thread as all the recipes sound wonderful. I haven't had Swiss Steak in years! My mom used to make it...probably with round steak...when I was a kid. Annie, "she" was a 14 month holstein. Long story, but we changed our mind about breeding so our one steer and 2 heifers all were butchered. We sold the extra. Deanna |
I like lean meat so round is a favorite. Makes good bbq sandwich meat. Boil it in tomato juice until it falls apart. After boiling the excess tomato juice makes excellent soup. The meat I work down with a potato masher then add bbq sauce. Just about as easy as it gets. I like mixing catsup, open pit, a-1, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a shot of jim beam for my bbq sauce. I had some people on the forum here that figured I'd get a rubber ball if I boiled a round roast. I got one and took pictures! Sorry about the huge size of the pics... my photo editor was not on my computer at the time... hmmm still ain't. As you can see it falls apart with a fork. This was a bottom round so I had a bit of tough fat to pick out... dog treat. I don't buy it as a steak but as 5lb roasts. To me it makes a decent roast... in a pan with veggies and a spoon of crushed garlic on top. Bake under tinfoil until the veggies are done. Alternate is to put the meat in a baking pan with tight tinfoil and bake overnight @180... which leaves it fully cooked but still pink in color!. Wrap a chunk in loose tinfoil with seasonings and grill it on a Weber with indirect heat. Lots of hickory chips on the coals! If you are brave a small handful of cracked pepper on the coals then get the lid back down quick... don't let that smoke get in your eye. A couple slices as roast, a couple sandwiches, and the rest drops in the chili pot. One of my cook on Sunday and eat 'till Thursday plans. I love a fresh slice buttered with a dab of a-1. Careful getting off the grill as the tinfoil often has a cup of hot juice. I have good arm strenth so I stab it with a big bbq fork and get into a baking pan for transport back to the kitchen. About the same dilema as beer can chicken. I was supposed to buy a short loin this week but now you have me thinking round. : ) |
Yum, Lyra, that looks really good, lunch was a couple of hours ago. And fajitas..... Ah well. Too bad about the breeding program, Deanna, but you did get some good beef. Holstein, being milk cows, are pretty lean anyway. That's my only problem with eating them as beef, it takes twice as much food to get the same amount of weight as my fat and lazy Hereford beef, they're all geared for milk production! Annie |
Until I read this thread, I only bought thin pieces of round steak to slice and marinate for stir-fries but I'll be trying more recipes now! seagrass |
First request here for round, DH wants chicken fried stead, I also use it for stroganoff and I like to make swiss steak in the slow cooker, easy peazy, brown serviving size pieces in flour, dump a can of diced tomatoes, on top, a tsp sugar and 1/2 t. salt and a splash of Worchestshire. I like to carmelize onions before serving and put on top fo the steaks. I always use a meat cleaver to tenderize it when cooking with round steak, trim all fat. Speaking of CFS, we tried Lucy's Bakery which was on Man vs. Food. Don't recommend the CFS, unless you want a whole lot of batter and a very thin piece of meat, not to my liking at all. They were out of the 3 lb. cinammon roll, which they were in the process of making which smelled great, but 3 #'s, really $5.99! Serves 4. Enjoy your beef. Lucky you. I remember going to my DMIL's and her cooking was always so good and I one time asked her why her hamburgers were so much better than mine and she told me to look out her kitchen window (and you could see their cattle in the background). Made a world of difference. Brenda |
Oh it definitely makes a difference!! Annie, we wintered them last year when they were little (read...not much hay!). Where I live the grass is very, VERY abundant (when nothing is grazing, the seed heads hit me in the face) so summer feed is free! We just didn't want to feed them all winter again, so instead, they'll feed us! I figure it's a good trade! I like the leaner dairy meat as long as it still gets finished properly! I have round steak out again! My freezer is so packed right now, I have to eat whatever is in front!!!! Deanna |
Deana: I won't be home til Monday. I'll post the Large Bracioli Roast for you. I just made the Italian Hamburgers and meatballs, with ground sirloin steak and pork. You can do the same with the Flank Steak. It's off the bottom by now but you can Google it. Lou |
Today they had round stake at Von's in Ca. for $1.29 a pound. Going to grind it up for winter meat loaf. I may go back and get some more after looking at the recipes here. Claudia |
Had to bring this to the top. I have five packages (2 steaks per package) of these babies in the freezer. Not my favorite cut. I have four steaks slow cooking in the crock pot now with Swiss Steak seasonings. |
I also have three packages labeled as "top round", what is the difference? |

thanks for asking plan of action now is no LP for now (yay) sending me to an opthamologist to check my sight and any possible ' muscular/ macular???? problems (I was just gonna go to walmart) Then he wrote me a script and gonna try taking folic acid and magnesium supplements to possible slow my jumpy reflexes and possible that could stop this muscle tightening thing thats happening. Also I put to him that maybe this is the "flu and a broken leg" where my facial symptoms might be unrelated to my arm so he is now gonna check for carpel tunnel or other conductive problmes in my arm. in other words another test at the hospital... so gonna do these things and see if I get some improvement. hi ho hi ho LOL |
- Posted by crafty_lady (My Page) on Wed, Oct 24, 07 at 20:36
That's great that you don't need the LP for now. I would question just going to Walmart though for your eye check up...just saying maybe you would be better off going to a specialist. As a diabetic who is nearsighted I absolutely detest the zillion and one tests that mine does but he is very thorough with his eye exams. I just had carpal tunnel surgery done on my non-dominant hand in February. and I have to say the surgery sure has come a long way from when I had the other hand done 20 years ago! Don't you just LOVE all these tests...guess the only good thing is you don't have to study for them? LOL I sure hope the supplements help to relieve your symptoms. Barb |
I agree with Barb.Nix the walmart and go to the MD thingy that does eyes. .. I always get them mixed up, but I think Ophthalmologist. You may be on to something that you have more than one thing going on. Well, at least the LP is out. You were probably right in the beginning...you may never get a definite diagnosis. But hey, in the mean time there are hundreds of test they can send you for!! Hope the supplements help!! Maria |
So glad the "talk" with the doctor was nothing serious. I always freak about that! Hazie |

Does anyone know where I can buy a windscreen for a dormant fireplace? The fireplace we have is about 2' H x 3' W. Cold air flows down from the chimney and into the living room straight into the sitting area. I'd like to maybe purchase a low cost screen, <$50, to block the wind or maybe deflect it. There's currently a chain link mesh type sliding curtain on it now. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I had that problem and found that anything short of sealing it still let the cold air in. I started with a piece of insulation board in front of the opening. I could still feel cold air coming in. I ended up turning off the gas, closing up the vent (that by code is fixed in the open position), and then stuffing in some bubble wrap to fill the space and help insulate it. Even after doing that, I could still feel the cold air, so I ultimately sealed off the entire fireplace surround with a piece of paneling which I painted to match the wall. |
- Posted by SouthernCanuck (My Page) on Mon, Apr 1, 13 at 2:25
Stuffing bubble wrap into the flue isn't insulating a thing. Adding a screen does even less. Close the damper. Purchase a sheet of closed cell insulation board from any Big Box store, measure the opening of the flue, cut the board slightly larger and insert it into the flue opening. Actually double the board and you will get double the insulating factor. Shut off the gas control valve if one exists. You may be able to buy 1/2 of a sheet. I should mention the flue opening is where the damper is, don't cover the opening where the chain link screen is the flue is the bottom of the chimney. Covering with plywood doesn't stop the cold infiltration either. |
This post was edited by SouthernCanuck on Mon, Apr 1, 13 at 2:30
The problem with my fireplace turned out to be more than the air coming down the flue. I thought at first that closing the damper and blocking the flue - as SouthernCanuck suggests - would solve the problem. But it didn't. I could still feel cold air flowing in. My fireplace is built in a corner, and I suspect they failed to insulate the outer walls in that corner. The half-inch thick strand board that covers the fireplace is working to keep out the draft and the cold. |
The problem with your fireplace is that 1. the stack is an exterior stack 2. the stack is far too short for the house 3. your damper isn't sealing. Most important is #2. If the stack was high enough, you would never get a downdraft (insulation has nothing to do with it btw); thus a poor sealing damper and exterior stack wouldn't be issues that compound the core problem. |

Autism: Go Ahead, Get Angry
I'd like to take you back in time. It's July 1992, and I'm in the advanced portion of my training for the Army. (It's called AIT & it's where they teach you how to do the job you signed up for.) My Grandaddy had been ill before I left for the Army, and I got pulled out of ranks my first day of class to be told that he had passed away. I was then given the choice to stay in training or go home on Emergency Leave for the funeral.
Before I left for the Army, the last time I saw my Granddaddy, he was in the hospital. I remember going to his house growing up and seeing his pictures in uniform. You see, he had been in the Navy way back in the day. While lying in bed and upon hearing that I'd be leaving for the Army he told me, "You're going to be a soldier now, so you better go be a damn good one." I was 19 years old, & up to that point, I had had a bad habit of starting things but not finishing them.
So, based on his words, I chose to stay in training. I stayed, but my heart wasn't in it. A day or two later, in the wee hours of the morning while doing Physical Training (PT), I just stopped. We were doing push ups and I just couldn't because my body was shaking from the sobbing. I was crying. My drill sergeant came up to me and asked me what was wrong, upon explaining why I was sad, he asked me "But are you angry? Are you mad he's dead?" It took only a second for me to answer yes. And I was angry about it for more reasons than we have the time/space to go into here. He then told me this, "Good, now you use that anger. Use it to do your push ups. Use it to run. You use that as long as you need to, to get you moving and get you through."
I was telling a friend this story yesterday when the full impact of what he did for me hit me. I have taken that advice and brought it with me into having a child on the autism spectrum. I was pissed off when they told me my son might have autism. Shock, denial, yeah, they were there too. But mostly, I was angry as hell that someone would even try to tell me my perfect little angel wasn't as perfect as they thought he should be. So I used that anger. I researched until I dropped. I advocated to hell and back for my child and other's like him. I refused to give up on him, to let anyone else give up on him, or for him to give up on himself.
So go ahead, GET ANGRY! Now, what are you going to use it for? Please share how you've done so in the comments below. Thanks!

Home Congregations About Us Bookstore Press Room Giving
Page Navigation
Dozens of Unitarian Universalists (UUs) and eight UU ministers—the Revs. Liz Brown, Steve Crump, Eliza Galaher, Forrest Gilmore, Fred Hammond, Lyn Oglesby, Meg Riley, and Jim VanderWeele—participated in the September 20th demonstrations in Jena, Louisiana, in support of six young African-American high-school students known as the Jena Six. Below is an on-the-scene report from Meg Riley and her daughter Jie.
(Meg) It was our privilege to be among tens of thousands of demonstrators in Jena, Louisiana, on Thursday, protesting the racial disparities in treatment and sentencing of six young African Americans in a racially charged schoolyard fight. My daughter Jie, about to turn 11, asked if she could join me here as a birthday present. Following are our notes from the "Free the Jena Six" rally.
We joined a busload of protestors at 3:45 a.m. in the parking lot of UU Church of Baton Rouge, the church with the LED sign out front demanding "Truth and Reconciliation in Jena!" Four UU ministers are on the bus—Rev.Steve Crump of Baton Rouge, Rev. Jim VanderWeele of Community Church, New Orleans, Rev. Liz Brown of Slidell, Louisiana, and me. We know that Rev. Lyn Oglesby, from Shreveport, is also boarding a bus about now. The bus also holds an MCC minister, a Baptist minister, and an interesting mix of UUs and others. Louisiana Public Radio is interviewing Steve Crump as I board the bus, and he says, "This bus is Louisianans who are demanding justice!"
Though I brought a clerical collar and dressier clothes, I'm outfitted now in a "Standing on the Side of Love" t-shirt, shorts and sneakers. I'm not here to be interviewed myself, but to lend support and cheers to the great organizing coming out of our Louisiana UU congregations. It is a proud moment in UU history, emerging from a shameful one in U.S. history. I am delighted to see the old friends I've come to love working in the past two years on Gulf Coast recovery and justice.
(Jie) A dark parking lot is home to action, to a protest finally happening, Jena 6. I am in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It is 4 o'clock, the air is fresh and the sky reflects black on the trees. I've boarded a bus with people, all with the same mission.
Jena is a dusty, barbecue smelling place. We pulled to a stop in front of two old ball parks. We had passed little businesses and woods. The bus pulled away leaving us on a sandy gravel road.
We wandered a bit and then went to bleachers. The sun blazed down on my face, my sunglasses were sweaty. Static metallic voices boomed out from left field. I've met and am meeting many new people. Good music. Many different hairstyles and dos. Different t-shirts and Red Cross handing out free chips, Gatorade, water, cookies, rice crispies, etc.
(Meg) The speakers at the rally are angry about the Jena case, but this is one of the least edgy demonstrations of any kind I have ever attended. Indeed, sitting in the sun, it is easy to believe that the biggest problem I'm here to address is good application of sunscreen. With all the music and prayer and great energy, it is weirdly easy to forget that I'm at a political demonstration and to feel instead as if it's some kind of family picnic. I feel uncomfortable about this reversion to privilege, and am oddly relieved later when an African American woman on the bus home says the same thing—"Some of the time, I was so happy I just plain forgot how mad I was!"
(Jie) After the rally we lined up and stood there. We moved in rows of eight, or in our case nine. It didn't work. Finally our row was up; we walked on a fenced path that went around the park. Both my mom and me had packpacks. I stocked mine with pencils, paper, clipboard, snacks, walkie talkies, and more. There were a lot of nice rocks; by the end I had a huge pocketful.
(Meg) The march is going two miles to the Jena courthouse, in 90 degree full sun, and then back again. Our row includes Bob and Diana Doroh from Baton Rouge—Bob the courage behind the decision to charter a bus, our bus Captain—and also a family of African American residents of Jena. I am delighted to have the opportunity to talk to them. They are two sisters, their mother, and a son who, like Jie, is in fifth grade. Unlike Jie, Demetrius is not skipping school today—Jena has closed its schools. Demetrius tells me the school was on 'lockdown' the day before, and kids were unable to go down the halls to the bathrooms.
Closed along with the schools are Jena businesses, ranging from McDonalds' and Popeye's to local stores. They are eerily surrounded with yellow police tape and orange plastic fencing. We are incredulous as the bus passes through town; all the money these vendors will lose! But we are delighted to see the entrepreneurial spirit of African American vendors, who sell a wide variety of food and rally paraphernalia. We wonder what the residents of this 85% white town expect to happen today.
I ask Demetrius and his family the questions which have been on my mind as I have made this journey to Jena: Are they worried about white violence after all the 'outsiders' have gone home? This extended family (which extends into the entire row behind us, more folks of all ages from Jena ) is delighted that we are there. They say some folks they know are worried about ensuing violence, but they're just happy. I ask them if they see any white folks from Jena in the crowd, and they shake their heads sadly. "No," says the family matriarch, "and I been LOOKIN'!"
A man named Timothy, a slim young man with a battered Bible in his hand who says "Bless you" to each person he encounters, tells me, "Even if the whites aren't here, they're thinking about this. It's a good thing to bring these kinds of wounds out in the open, so they don't fester." Timothy is from another town fifteen miles away. He says life there is very similar to Jena, with whites believing racism is over, all healed, and the people of color holding all the pain of it. Later Jim VanderWeele tells me he did meet one white woman from Jena who is appalled by the injustice.
It is a delight to unexpectedly run into another colleague, the Rev. Forrest Gilmore of Princeton, New Jersey, whose black "Free the Jena Six" t-shirt also says "Philly bus." He tells me that that he is joined by several UUs from Princeton, and that the bus-ride down took 27 hours!
Though I don't know the details why, there are two rallies taking place today—the NAACP rally in this park has about 2,500 participants. Dozens more NAACP buses are held up by sheriffs and never make it. We don't know how many of them gave up and joined the other rally, the 'town rally' at the courthouse held by the Rev. Al Sharpton. News reports say "tens of thousands of people" were in Jena. In town, there are more speakers, supposedly including families of the young African American men, but the sound system makes it impossible to understand a word they say. Someone tells me it has been announced that the $90,000 bail has been raised to release Mychal Bell.
As the day winds down and we wait for our bus to pick us up, rumors begin to circulate. A young woman walking by says that the third circuit Court of Appeals has stated that Mychal Bell must be released within seventy-two hours. We all cheer wildly. This is the same court of appeals who had said a week earlier that it was illegal to try him as an adult and threw the case out. (Why that decision did not result in his being immediately freed has been the matter of bitter speculation all day.)
Soon someone else walks by and says that Louisiana Supreme Court has dropped all charges against all six young men, and they are now home. We all look like we want to believe it but the cheering is less enthusiastic. Three other people come by and say exuberantly that Mychal Bell is home. On the bus home, those with electronic communications equipment are desperately seeking corroboration of these rumors, and when I get back to the Baton Rouge hotel room I do the same. All that an extensive web search nets me is confirmation that the first statement is true: Within seventy two hours, Mychal Bell must be released.
I report this to Jie, saying happily, YES! At least we know for sure that they have to release Mychal within 72 hours! We can hope that our coming here helped that decision to get made! "Sure it did," she replies with wisdom which makes me wonder if it can really be that she's only turning eleven, not fifty, on Sunday, "No one down here wants this kind of fuss."

It's a little early, but thought I would ask for help with design advice and pricing help for making winter evergreen containers. Several clients of mine have asked for winter containers already.
Do you have a favorite winter container combination? How are you pricing your containers? Any advice on putting the containers together? I'll be contacting local christmas tree farmers for prices on evergreen tips and bales this week. I have already started drying hydrangea blooms, seed pods and sedum stems. Any idea of where to buy large amounts red twig dogwood stems, michigan holly/winterberry stems? Thanks in advance for your help! |

I'm not so into the idea of bachelorette parties. But if I were ever to have one, I would want Jason Segel and John Krasinski to crash it, like they did for a random woman in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Here they are, sloppily karaoking "With a Little Help From My Friends" at the bachelorette's request. Apparently, they also indulged the crowd with a rendition of "Brown Eyed Girl" while dancing with a blow-up sex doll. Who knew these two was so into the 'yoke? [The Daily What, TMZ]

I just bought a gazing globe for the daylily bed (the back corner daylily bed, I mean, as opposed to various other beds which are mostly-or-completely-daylilies, as well as a couple of beds with mostly not daylilies ;-D). Well, anyway, yes, I confess to being the proud owner of a red gazing globe in a bed of yellow, orange, brown, and red daylilies.

This week's Club: Baked recipe was Nutella Scones. Unfortunately I have a nut allergy so these were not going to be replicated in my household. Do you think I would let a little thing like anaphylactic shock stop me from making this lovely breakfast treat?
Don't worry! It is still me writing this post… I just omitted the Nutella/hazelnut portion of the recipe but still made Chocolate Scones! There was supposed to be Nutella rolled into the scones before they baked up but I didn't do that. Then, more Nutella was spread over the top. Again, something else that I did not do. Instead, I melted 20 Andes mints in a double-boiler and drizzled the melted mint chocolate over the top. I'm so smart sometimes… it kills me.
The ingredients that went into this scone were simple. You take your standard dry ingredients and whisk them together, then cut in some butter with your fingers and watch the dough come together with the addition of an egg and heavy cream. I didn't even need a rolling pin to roll these out. I used the palms of my hands to flatten the dough and then cut them into triangles.
The key to scones is not to knead the dough too much. It is okay that there are still pieces of butter amidst the dry ingredients and it is okay that there are dry ingredients not completely mixed into your dough. If you overwork your dough, you will get hard scones and have to start all over. Not good. Mine turned out nice and airy! Just because you don't like to eat sweet foods in the morning, do not skip this recipe. I promise you that they are not overly sweet. After all, there is only 1/4 cup of sugar in them. Feel free to omit the melted chocolate topping if you so desire. That's not how I roll though…
You can find the recipe in Matt & Renato's cookbook, Baked Explorations, or on Lorraine's blog, PhDcupcaker. To see all the blog posts go over to Club: BAKED. Next up on the Club: BAKED docket – Mississippi Mud Pie (B) hosted by Alexis, my amazing best friend!

Categories: General News
Tabor College today announced the recipients of the 2013 Tabor College Presidential Leadership Scholarships. Justin Goble, Salina, Kan, Tena Loewen, Hillsboro, Kan., Macy Root, Minneapolis, Kan. and Logan Whitney, Concordia, Kan. are the four recipients of the prestigious $68,000 scholarships. These students will participate in a four-year leadership laboratory that is designed to develop young people into effective and skilled leaders for the next generation.
In announcing the selections, Tabor College President Jules Glanzer noted that these are students of exceptional caliber. "We are excited that these outstanding student leaders will be spending the next four years on our Tabor campus," he said. "These are young people with integrity, heart and a passion to serve. It will be a pleasure to welcome them to our community, interact with them and watch them grow and develop into outstanding leaders."
Rusty Allen, Vice-President for Enrollment Management and Intercollegiate Athletics commented on the selection weekend held Nov. 4-5, 2012. "We enjoyed having the finalists on our campus and that they had the opportunity to interact with our current students, faculty and staff," he said.

Leading Warmists: All Weather Events Can Be Blamed On Man-Induced Climate Change
Here we go, two of the leading climate astrologers in the world, Joe Romm and Kevin Trenberth opine
(Climate Progress) An epic blizzard is bearing down on New England – fed in part by relatively warm coastal waters.
I asked Dr. Kevin Trenberth, former head of the Climate Analysis Section at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, to comment on the role climate change has on this storm. He explained:
He explained that it's the fault of you, dear reader, for failing to sell your fossil fueled vehicle and purchase a bicycle.
Like a baseball player on steroids, our climate system is breaking records at an unnatural pace. And like a baseball player on steroids, it's the wrong question to ask whether a given home run is "caused" by steroids. As Trenberth wrote in his must-read analaysis, "How To Relate Climate Extremes to Climate Change," the "answer to the oft-asked question of whether an event is caused by climate change is that it is the wrong question. All weather events are affected by climate change because the environment in which they occur is warmer and moister than it used to be."
So hot, cold, wet, dry, windy, not windy, snowy, not snowy, icy, sleet, hurricanes, no hurricanes, you name it, Mankind is responsible. Interestingly, Joe Romm goes on to whine about lots of precipitation events, but then Warmists like Joe also blame drought on "climate change." So, everything.
And let's not forget this fun email from Trenberth (this one is pretty stomach churning, too)
The fact is that we can't account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can't.
Oh, and then there is this quote by Trenberth, which shows that AGW pushers shouldn't have to prove their "science"
Given that global warming is "unequivocal", to quote the 2007 IPCC report, the null hypothesis should now be reversed, thereby placing the burden of proof on showing that there is no human influence [on the climate].
And Warmists like Romm and Trenberth have worked hard to build a cult whereby nothing can disprove their beliefs.

Best Climbing Experience
Since its only been a few months climbing my first outside climb prob is my fav. Climbed Colonel Arete at the Dewerstone. 4 pitches and some nice exposure for my 1st time out. Climb itself wasn't technically hard but it was the whole new outside-ness of it that made it interesting.
Since then I've now managed to lead that same climb and it was even better this time round.

People spend millions on trying to make a video go viral. Clueless publicists in the music industry call a video viral just because it's on the internet. But being the most popular morning show on the radio for the Puget Sound area of Washington State, Bob Rivers and crew have some major pull most do not have. They are making a video soon and they want it to go viral. These are the top ten steps the Bob Rivers show should do to go viral. Oh, and I'm not doing this to get mentioned on the show. This site would crash if you did and I have no ads. Just trying to welcome back the show I love.
1. Digg.com
This is a social news site. If you can get the listeners to all go in at once and vote for your submission within an hour or so it will hit the front page. This will get it a flood of views really quick and help it show up in the "trending" charts. Once Pedro submits it you have a few hours at best to get a ton of votes. Use those listeners!
2. Reddit.com
Same as Digg as far as it works. Kind of like Coke Vs Pepsi they are both very important. Maybe do Digg one hour and Reddit the next.
3. MixxingBowl.com
This one may not get as much traffic as the first two, but it is still important. Make this the third one to try since the listeners might be getting tired of voting. You will not need as many votes to 'front page'.
4. StumbleUpon
This one is MAJOR! But it will take a little more work from the listeners. They need to download the SU toolbar, go to the YouTube page of the video, and click the thumbs up icon on the toolbar. This will send a major amount of traffic as well. Possibly more than Digg or Reddit if you get enough listeners to give it the thumbs up.
5. Facebook
Pedro knows how powerful this one is. Make sure and post it there at the same time as everywhere else.
6. Twitter
You never mention the Twitter on air, but it can be pretty powerful. Tell the listeners to use the hash tag #bobrivers with the YouTube link so you show up as 'trending'.
7. MySpace
Although not as powerful as it once was, it still has a ton of users.
8. Trending?
Trending is a very important word when trying to go viral. There are tons of websites, software, and apps that are there only to inform the power users and journalists what is trending. This is why it is so important to get that big rush of traffic right off the bat.
9. Be goofy, silly, and don't have a message
If it is very clear that you are just there to entertain, people are more likely to spread it around. You people know goofy like no one else.
10. Can you handle it?
Remember when I said not to mention this site on the air because it would crash the servers? If you do all the stuff above you will probably crash even your top of the line servers that host the Bob Rivers and KJR website. Very few hosts are set up to handle that big of a spike in traffic. My business site RockMyMonkey.com is hosted by a company called Squarespace. They are one of the few that can handle massive spike like you will be trying to create. Last I checked they offered a free two week trial. Maybe use that to give the YouTube link a more easy to remember url. BobRivers.squarespace.com or something could work.
Why did I do this? Partly because I want to welcome you back in my own geeky way, but also it would be cool to know I helped something truly go viral. Good luck!
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

My son is really starting to love to cook, and he is shopping for a set of cookware. I thought I would get him that for his upcoming (March) 22nd birthday. Any recommendations? I'd like to keep it under $150, so obviously I'm not looking at the top of the line -- he can get that later -- but if you think it's a mistake to set the budget that low, let me know.
I have always liked both Revere Ware with the copper bottoms (but mine are old; I understand the new ones aren't as good) and Calphalon. What do you suggest? Thank you in advance for your help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't get a "set"...buy pieces that he needs and will use. You don't say how old he is and where he lives. I would start with a 6 inch non stick skillet for eggs and maybe a grilled cheese sandwich. Then go for an inexpensive pair of clad lidded sauce pans...1 qu and 2 qu...I am figuring that you will have spent about $75 so far....and I would look for a deal in a small Dutch oven in enamel cast iron...hoping you can find that for about $75...if you shop well....and that leaves you with about nothing for a big stock pot or corn boiling soup pot... Not going to make it for $150...I would buy him one 2 good pots and let the rest come another time. Linda C |
He is turning 22 and currently lives in Boston, but he will probably be elsewhere next year for graduate school (don't know where yet). He has a couple of pots and pans already, at least one ten inch skillet; I can't remember what else. Also, he keeps kosher, so he will need double of most things. That's why I figured a set would be the most economical way to get him started for now. I know lindac is right that in the long run you do better with individually chosen pieces, but for now I thought a set of something decent would do, and he can fill in and replace with better pieces later on, using these things as back up or passing them on. The whole thing started with his e-mailing me for my opinion on an e-bay listing for a good price on a set of new Revereware; it made me think that I would get him cookware for his birthday. |

Go with a set of tri-ply clad from Sam's Club. First check out Consumer Report magazine. Every piece your son will ever need may not be here, but he will be able to get by. CR doesn't allow us to view their recommendations online, but you could glance at this site for some safety tips and a couple good quality, inexpensive choices. |

Lots of good advise above, especially Lindac! My 2 cents, If you have a "Linens and things" near you they sell Chef Emeril cooking sets for reasonable prices especially if you have one of there 20% off coupons (big blue thing)! This set is very close to all clad quality and does a very decent job of providing quality cooking cookware ( I bought this set after a lot of research). A set is now about $200.00, with the 20 % coupon you're talking $160.00. There is nothing out there (Quality) that can be had for that amount even close to this amount (copper clad bottom by the way). For the dutch oven I would recommend a Lodge or Wagner brand 5 or 6qt with a "GLASS TOP" (trust me)! I am not sure what they cost now but I really believe they are better than the porcelain clad models (they chip), and once you have a regular cast iron Dutch seasoned correctly it will be something that will become his life time friend and will last forever with minimal care! If there is any way I can help you more (short of recipes) please don't hesitate to ask. For the recipes, you would be better served by the forum experts. |
Do you have a restaurant/institutional supply place by you? In California we have Smart & Final. They sell aluminum cookware for a song. I don't believe the Alzheimers/aluminum connection has been verified, AND, if you think about it, most restaurants COOK YOUR FOOD in aluminum, so I have no problems with the stuff. Here is my absolute favorite 3 qt. pan for $14. I don't leave acidic (tomato) stuff sitting in it, thats the only 'care' I take. Also, I don't put it in the dishwasher. I was going to get a copper pan but the price/performance ratio didn't justify it. I'd look at the Revere for 5 qt pots with steamer inserts for pasta and steaming. The bottoms seem to be too thin for me for other cooking. Plus they go in the dishwasher. |

Thank you all so much. I will have fun shopping. And he will have fun cooking! |

Just saw the magazine with Consumer Report picks, daughter needs a set; best at top of list, descending order to bottom: Kirkland Signature (Costco) # 783643 14 pieces $150 Analon Titanium 10 $300 Analon Advance 8 $200 Uncoated Kitchen Aid Gourmet Essentials Brushed Stanles 10 $150 Calphalon Contemporory 8 $400 Emerilware Staninless 10 $200 Kitchen Aid KFP 710 food processor $80 |
Thanks, sharing -- I looked at the Costco set on line. It is priced at $179.99, but that does include shipping, which I imagine would not be cheap. It looks like a pretty good set. Thank you so much for finding that info. |

If anyone was around to read this they would die laughing but I can't help bieng an HSN fan. I have purchased cookware from them. Wolfgang Puck paid just over $100 for the main pieces plus utensils. They were both good pieces and not expensive. You have enough time to wait for a special or you could just buy the pieces separately. The command performance gets some good reviews too. They have a cooking presentation every sunday at noon or one eastern time. You can also read the reviews of the products from those who have purchased it which I highly recommend before you buy. I also have purchased cookware from Brylane Home and it too turned out to be good cookware. They aren't expensive. Check out the website if you don't get the catalog. |

Here is the set I got from Brylane Home a few years ago and is still in good shape. Heres another link for a stainless steel set. I haven't tried it but it has the thick bottom like most you see. Each one is $99 http://www.brylanehome.com/decor/21Pc-Stainless-Steel-Cookware-Set.aspx?PfId=90707&DeptId=15210&ProductTypeId=1&PurchaseType=0 Good luck! |

Does anyone know anything about Cuisinart's hard anodized line? Bloodbath and Beyond has a couple of sets that are in range (after the blue coupon). |
Does anyone know anything about Cuisinart's hard anodized line? Bloodbath and Beyond has a couple of sets that are in range (after the blue coupon). I have a 1 1/2 qt Cuisinart Chef's Classic H/A nonstick saucepan that I use for things like oatmeal. I bought it to replace an old All-Clad and didn't want to spend a lot of money. It's okay for that, but I can't comment on how the skillets perform. It is definitely more lightweight than the premium stuff. You might check out the reviews on Amazon. |
I got my Mother a nice set of Wolfgang Puck stainless cookware from BJ's (warehouse store) for the Christmas before last. It's a great set. I was going to get one for myself, but Amazon had a killer sale on a slightly smaller set of Farberware Millennium stainless last summer. I bought that and ended up throwing out almost all of my old cookware, especially the worn non-stick. I replaced the nonstick with two small, CHEAP Ikea frying pans that I use only for eggs. |
I took suzyq3's advice and checked the customer reviews of the Cuisinart set on Amazon. They were excellent, and there were several different sets available. So I think that will do. I'll have to make a decision soon -- his birthday is March 17. (Begorrah!) Thanks, all! I hope others were helped by this, too. |
Hi gellchom, Pots,pots galore..... |
Well I googled the Le Creuset Stainless Steel but the cheapest I could find was an 8 piece set for 335 on ebay. I think it looks beautiful (but its made in China too) |
JC Penney has both the Cuisnart and the Kitchen Aid Stainless for 150.00 If you do a google for JC Penney coupons sometimes you can find them for a little off or free shipping. |
Well, when I went to Amazon to order the Cuisinart set, I read more ratings, and I decided against the set. People are happy with it but said the set isn't good with high heat. *I* wouldn't be happy with that! So I went with the Costco set. Note that they charge a surcharge for nonmembers. But it was still a good buy, I think. Thanks, sharing/caring. |
You probably did good to pass on the Cuisinart. I have a set of cuisinart pans I bought used and cheap to tide me over becasue I am going to demo the kitchen in the spring. They are OK but certainly do not perform as well as all-clad ro demeyere (which I was previously using). the poster who mentioned the cheap ikea non-stick is on point. non-stick pans only last the life of the coating I do not undestand paying premum for a fancy pan when it will last only a few years. The Ikea non-stick fryingpans work nicely and when the coating wears out you can toss them without feeling bad |
Here is a follow-up for all of you: My son received the cookware last night -- it came much earlier than I'd expected, and as the carton had the contents printed right on it, there was no point in his waiting until his birthday to open it. He LOVES it! He was so excited, he not only called to thank us right away, he called again this morning to thank me AGAIN now that he's had a chance to unpack them and take a good look. It's great to have a kid who cooks -- it makes it so easy to buy him gifts. Thanks to all who helped me. |

Guatape, Colombia
A great place to visit,
...an even better place to live!
Guatape--El Roble
El Roble is the part of Guatape across the bridge from town. It's a wonderful mix of small, local houses, large lots and some very nice fincas. It's probably the safest place in Colombia as this is where the military base is and the soldiers routinely patrol the whole area. This is not a massive military presence, the base looks more like a park than a military establishment with it's grassy layout, ponds and trees. There are only ever about 100 soldiers or so here at a time, and htey keep to the base.
This side of the lake is much more "campestre" as they say here. In other words, it has a more country feel to it, with cows, horses and chickens wandering freely about. There are also some great walks in the area, or you can fish for trout in El Cristalino (small trout lake) where they charge you by the pound for any fish you catch plus they will clean them for you.

The record breaking run of the Mahesh Babu-starrer shows that with smart marketing, there is no limit to what can be achieved.
As far as collections in Telugu cinema go, " Dookudu" has set a new landmark. Never before did a Tollywood film reach the elusive one billion rupee mark. But the Mahesh Babu-starrer has done just that and has broken new ground by grossing `101 crore in its collections worldwide, in an unprecedented 50-day run at the BO. The significance of the feat can be measured by the fact that SRK's " Ra. One", currently stands third in the pecking order of highest grossing Bollywood films ever, with a net gross of `112,74,00,000.Stay updated on the go with Times of India News App. Click here to download it for your device.

The Lumix DMC-FZ200 is Panasonic's flagship super-zoom digital camera. While recent models have been relatively minor upgrades, the FZ200 returns to its roots by featuring a lens with an F2.8 maximum aperture across its entire zoom range. Last year's DMC-FZ150 had an F2.8 - F5.2 lens, so the lens on the FZ200 is a huge improvement, and the extra brightness should make a real difference at long focal lengths and/or in poor light, allowing you to shoot at lower, less noisy ISO settings.
In terms of video, the Panasonic FZ200 can shoot up to 1080 60p video in AVCHD or MP4 formats. AVCHD formatted shooting, due to its big file size, often falls in several separated .MTS video clips (I had shot a 2 hour video where were separated into 10 mts files on the camera). However, the MTS format is not compatible with QuickTime or iTunes, and even my Samsung Android tablet does not support the format. Now that I prefer streaming media format like MP4, this becomes problematic. Thanks to the Video Converter Mac, I was able to combine and convert the .mts files into a single MP4 video. Below is a guide of how I converted .mts to .mp4. You can download a trial of Video Converter Mac, which is free and clean.
Step-by-step guide of converting Panasonic Lumix FZ200 MTS to MP4
Step 1: Load Panasonic Lumix FZ200 MTS files to the Converter
Launch Pavtue MTS to MP4 Converter and the window below will pop up. Click the "Add Video" or "Add from folder" button on the upper left to load your MTS files. You can select any of them and click play button to preview. If you would like to join MTS files together, just select these files and check the "Merge into one" box.
Step 2. Select output format for converting FZ200 MTS to MP4.
Click on "Format", and select output format from the drop-down list. The software allows users to convert AVCHD MTS to H.264/AVC and MPEG-4 encoded MP4. There are tons of presets for different devices - iPad, iPhone 4, iPod, PSP, Android, Archos, Zune, PocketPC, etc. You can simply follow the corresponding profile group and select customized MP4 format.
If you would like to watch the MTS contents on HDTV via media players (e.g. Western Digital Media Player, Video DVD combos), HD quality should be attained. To maintain HD video quality, you may follow "HD Video" -> "H.264 HD Video" (*.mp4) or "MPEG-4 HD Video (*.mp4) and customize the A/V parameters based on the media player and your TV.
To customize MP4 format for your player, you can click "Settings" button to adjust video and audio parameters. Notice that you can not "convert up" video quality. If you selected HD Video in Step 2, we advise you to adjust the A/V parameters to be the same with source MTS footage so as to bear least quality loss at proper file size.
Step 3: Start converting Panasonic Lumix FZ200 MTS to MP4
Click "Convert" button to convert AVCHD to MP4. The encoding process takes from minutes to hours depends on export file size. After conversion you can click "Open" button to get the generated MP4 files.
Useful Tip - Eliminate the interlacing lines: click "Editor" menu, switch to "Effect" and check the box of "Deinterlacing" when your source MTS files are interlaced 1080i or 720i videos.

"Charles Dickens is the man"
I've seen many movies based on this book and never got the full story. So, I decided because it was on sale with Audible that I'd grab it. I'm glad I did. I had to resist looking up the story line online and it was worth it. It is said that Charles Dickens used to walk the streets of London at night because he couldn't sleep. He saw some orphans being mistreated and came up with this story. Based on the time it was amazing that he came up with it at all. Look at the research that goes into a story and realize he did it with the use of the Internet or any means of central research at all. Let's face it library's back then weren't worth mentioning.
The story itself is very in depth with the characters and their inter dependency on each other. I've been part of the junior authors guild when I was in school, so I know how hard it is to write a book. Here Charles Dickens went beyond simply writing a story, he made us love the characters. He didn't skip the smallest detail or the simplest mistake with the characters or story line. I like a great story with intricate characters and storyline. Here we meet young Oliver Twist who by chance or fate was named such. We see how his life goes from being simple to complex by a series of unfortunate situations or misinterpreted, misrepresented facts and situations. They say take two breaths then act. If someone had done that then young Mister Oliver would have had a very different life. He wouldn't have been shot, thrown threw a window or kept as a slave before the truth was told. In the end I like this one better than Great Expectations for the depth of the storyline and characters.
"Another good story by Isaac Asimov"
Here is another great story by Isaac Asimov that goes along with the 'Caves of Steel' series. I can also see why Gene Roddenberry consulted him regarding Star Trek.
The story is a straightforward one where a young man is almost killed and begin his adventure. From there the story follows the character through synchronicity events until ultimately the end. In some ways this story reminds me of the 'Mote In God's Eye'. I won't ruin it for you, but like 'Robots of Dawn' it will keep you guessing to the very end.
"Want to open your mind, read this"
I've read so many books on our shadow selves. Here the author takes his own book about realizing your shadow self and takes it to on eliminating the shadow self. There are, so many books on this subject and because we don't have decades to meditate as the Buddhist do we need to read books. While reading this book I started to see and apply the lessons from the book 'The Five Elements of Effective Thinking'.
If you want to help yourself in every area in your life then this book will get you started. Remember that this is a journey and your are a 'Do it yourself project' . Only you can keep moving yourself forward and only you can decide to keep going. You will have many teachers and lessons along the way. Here is one that will help you.
"A great history of an American Icon"
I grew up watching Star Trek and I never knew the backstory behind Spock or any other character. All I knew was that Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner hated each other or that is what people said. The truth is that neither hated each other. If you read this book you'll see this and if you read what people who worked on Star Trek said. They say that what is here is as close to the truth as we can get.
If you want to know how Spock came to be and how he led to Data later you need to read this book. The biggest thing I got from this book was what I've read in many books: decided what you want! Once you know what you want you need to keep working on it even when you think it's complete. For me this book tells me that synchronicity is greatest force in your life if you're open to it. By following synchronicity will keep you open to many idea's and will help lead you forward.
"Goes great with Failing Forward"
For those of you that have read John C. Maxwell's book Failing Forward you'll find this the perfect complementary book to go along with it. I like the five steps they come up with here and I see how they tie in with the books 'Eat that frog' and 'Flight Plan'.
As I listened to this book I see how it applies to my life right now. I've been working on a business idea that I come up with an idea and then I set it aside where later I will look at it again. Here I will change what I originally came up with and it's better. By the time I trademarked it and put in my patents I got through without issues.
By going through the steps in this book I have begun to further develop my business idea's. Now on my next idea I just put something down and look at it for what's wrong then I change it.
I really can't tell you more without ruining it. You need to approach this book with an open mind and with the willingness to change what you perceive as the only way to do something. If you drop these preconceived notions you will learn a lot more and benefit more from reading this book.
"A great insight into this book series"
Years ago my mother would take notes while reading books to keep track of thoughts as the book progresses. She can figure out how a story ends before anything is revealed by the author. I tried this concerning the Game of Thrones series, but I gave it up. Here are all those notes and it's in a nice format.
Anyone that loves or just watches/reads the Game of Thrones this book ties all the threads together. Yet, it doesn't reveal how it ends, but it does give you an idea of how it will end. We are still waiting on the last two books after all.
"What is missing from the Bible"
When the dead sea scrolls were discovered and the translation began there was much fan fair. Now today people believe that these scrolls are just beginning to be translated when they've been being translated since 1947. Here the book or scroll of Isaiah is the most complete and gives us the most detailed information. This reminds me of so many other prophecies of the future, but these are more accurate.
In this book we learn that with all prophecies can be changed we just have to change. There is a prophecy of World War III, but this can't be allowed to happen because this is a time of awakening. All literature from the past show that each time we get to this point War comes and stops it.
You really need to read this book to tie together what all the spiritual sages of our time and the past sages.
"A great accumulation of meditation instructions"
Here the author talks you through basic and complex meditations. Unlike other books that talk about the meditations, here they are. At the end of the book the author has put a lot of meditation with each one being labeled for use when you need it. I recommend this book just for these meditations along with the wisdom contained with it. I would also recommend that the publisher include a PDF of all meditations be included or people buy the Kindle version to get them rather than searching all over the Internet for them.
"Great scholarly work"
Unlike Graham's previous book where there was no opening stated purpose of the book. This book probably because of the second author starts out with a stated purpose. Why are people fighting any in depth studies of the Sphinx? The same is true of all these great works called the seven wonders of the world which is off anyways. I believe there is over a 100 wonders that should be listed. We haven't even begun to look at what was talked about in the Fingerprints of the Gods and the Source Field Investigations.
The big question is that all books ask that look into the past is: 'Why are people scared to relook at everything with fresh eyes?' No one can tell us how any of these great works were done and why we're not talking about the the ones in India, Russia, the US, Africa and throughout Asia. Those in true power must be really scared of the truth which they know will eventually happen no matter what they do.
"A great book that fits in any spiritual path"
When I first heard Deepak Chopra I didn't like what he had to say or like the book at all! Then years later I was led to another of his books by what can be described as 'Spirit'. I listened and realized that he was teaching the same thing as SO many other authors that people are ignoring. I've read Edgar Casey, Mike Dooley, Wayne Dyer, and many more. I've did Buddhist training for 7 years and left it because the path wasn't working for me at that time. Now I understand that we have to do this at times. Like in the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi' and the work of Jack Kornfield you can't attach to a 'teacher' or 'path'. I read this book and did the exercises and I will keep using the exercises as I move forward, but not as in using dogma.
I've enjoyed this book and it would be nice if there was a PDF with all the meditations on it to make it easier to do them later rather than looking them up on the Internet! This would make this book perfect as it is!
"This is a lot of wisdom in one book"
I see why Steve Jobs liked this book. Steve wanted to be a spiritual Yogi or leader of people. In many ways he was and he got his wish in some ways. I liked the book learning about India Vedic training in the form of Yogi. The wisdom built into this book goes long with Deepak Chopra's work, Mike Dooley and many others. It's well worth anyone reading the previous author's work. I will not ruin it for you, but you should read it. I will say that by the halfway point you will understand why Steve Jobs liked it. Plus you will understand the simple wisdom contained within it. The sound is a little off as it goes loud to quiet quite suddenly.
