What Goes on the Holiday Buffet (and What Stays on the Table) Gatherings from The Kitchn How do you decide whether to spread your feast on the dinner table, or set up a separate buffet table? And does everything go on the buffet, or does some food stay on the table? Here are my own rules for deciding when to use a buffet, and what to leave on the table.
The Thanksgiving Happy Hour: Our 5 Tips for Appetizers & Drinks Gatherings from The Kitchn A Modern Relish Tray for Thanksgiving: Homemade Pickles & Rye Crackers Setting out appetizers before Thanksgiving dinner can seem almost perverse: Why nibble when you're about to consume the heartiest, richest holiday meal of the year? But there are good reasons to consider the lead-up to turkey time as a proper happy hour. Here is how I think about the drinks-and-apps portion of the day, with a few tips for keeping it easy, fun, and — above all — light!
Thanksgiving Pitcher Drink Recipe: The Amber Rush Cocktail The 10-Minute Happy Hour As our wardrobes change from flip flops to socks, fall cocktails typically turn golden brown (just like the leaves!) and pick up some warm spicy notes to keep us toasty. This pretty pitcher drink is a serious sip that captures all of the above. It's a great choice for any fall gathering and it was a perfect match for the menu we planned for The Kitchn's Thanksgiving Dinner Outdoors!
A Modern Relish Tray for Thanksgiving: Homemade Pickles & Rye Crackers Gatherings from The Kitchn When Faith floated the idea of having the gang from The Kitchn gather at my house in Oakland to celebrate and shoot the 2014 Thanksgiving spread, I was thrilled. They would take care of everything, she promised, except maybe could I do a modern interpretation of the old-fashioned relish tray as appetizers? Absolutely! We ended up deciding on three trays: pickles, spreads, and cheese and fruit. Let's start with my favorite: the pickle tray.
A Thanksgiving Dinner Outdoors: The Feast! Gatherings from The Kitchn Open Slideshow Today we want to share our brighter, sunnier outdoor Thanksgiving menu and party. Outdoors? you say. Sunnier? Those of us who live in colder climates scurry from car to house in a wintry mix on Thanksgiving, but this year we threw a party with the rest of the country in mind — California, Texas, Florida, and all the blessedly warm regions where folks can enjoy their feasts outdoors in style. But I think that there's something here for everyone to love in our California party, regardless of whether you're wearing a sweater or a sundress. The holiday is a harvest celebration, and our menu honors that, with vegetables at every turn, and casual desserts that are easy to make ahead. Read on for our California-inspired Thanksgiving menu, the relaxed and romantic table ideas, and how the whole shebang went for us and our 10 guests.
The Easiest Thanksgiving Centerpiece I've Ever Made Gatherings from The Kitchn When we got together and threw this year's outdoor California Thanksgiving bash for The Kitchn I knew I wanted to have a centerpiece that was easy, colorful, and very California. This led me, naturally, into the easiest centerpiece I've ever created for a Thanksgiving table, and probably my favorite as well. You too can do this; I swear it will only take you five minutes.
How To Dip Dye a Tablecloth Projects from The Kitchn Open Slideshow With Thanksgiving just over two weeks away, your head is probably filled with recipes, guest counts, and grocery lists. But what about setting the table? With a bottle of fabric dye and an inexpensive canvas drop cloth, you can make a beautiful tablecloth — just in time for the holidays!
A Thanksgiving Dinner Outdoors: Our Harvest-Inspired Menu for 10 Gatherings from The Kitchn Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, which means it's time for us to bring you this year's menu from all of us at The Kitchn. When planning this year's Thanksgiving Gathering, however, we decided to try something a little different and host this party outdoors — California-style! A warm and sunny Thanksgiving may seem out-of-step for those of us who expect wintry mix on Thanksgiving Day, but it's not unexpected for many folks in California, Florida, Texas, and throughout the South. And for the rest of us, we think this menu offers a fresh take on Thanksgiving with all the trimmings you expect — rustic sourdough stuffing, fig and cranberry sauce, pecan pie bars — but also just a few more vegetables and a fresher harvest sensibility. Read on for the menu and a little more about this year's party; we're sharing all the details this week!
10 Thanksgiving Place Cards You Can Buy or DIY Entertaining Ideas Whether or not you're a frequent entertainer, if you're hosting Thanksgiving, this is one of the times where it's worth it to add some of those frequently forgotten touches. Case in point — place cards. There's something special about having a table that's set (even if your guests help you set it!), and that presents a special place for each person at your dinner. In that spirit, here are 10 of our favorite place cards for your Thanksgiving table this year.
5 Mirrors In the Kitchen That Made Us Look Twice Kitchen Inspiration Mirrors make any space look bigger (and help me keep an eye on my lipstick). But even though they do amazing things for small spaces and large alike, they're still not especially common in the kitchen. That's why these five mirrors stole my heart and never really gave it back. It's OK to want to move into five kitchens all at the same time, right?

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Tesla Motors
(TSLA - Get Report) shares are climbing, up 1.35% to $265.55 in early market trading on Monday, after CEO Elon Musk announced that the electric vehicle maker would be extending the warranty on its Model S sedan to eight years and unlimited miles.
The announcement may be a response to consumer magazines Edmunds and Consumer Reports' negative review of the long-term durability of the company's most popular sedan.

However, both magazines reported that the flaws they experienced after a year of heavy driving were repaired under the company's old four year, 50,000 mile warranty at no additional cost.
Musk admitted that the extended warranty, which applies retroactively to all Model S previously sold, would have a "moderately negative effect" on the company's earnings in the short term in a statement released on Tesla's website Friday.
TheStreet Ratings team rates TESLA MOTORS INC as a Hold with a ratings score of C-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation:
"We rate TESLA MOTORS INC (TSLA) a HOLD. The primary factors that have impacted our rating are mixed - some indicating strength, some showing weaknesses, with little evidence to justify the expectation of either a positive or negative performance for this stock relative to most other stocks. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, solid stock price performance and notable return on equity. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including unimpressive growth in net income, generally higher debt management risk and poor profit margins."
Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:
- TSLA's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 23.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 89.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to its closing price of one year ago, TSLA's share price has jumped by 87.55%, exceeding the performance of the broader market during that same time frame. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- TESLA MOTORS INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. But, we feel it is poised for EPS growth in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, TESLA MOTORS INC continued to lose money by earning -$0.71 versus -$3.70 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($1.13 versus -$0.71).
- The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Automobiles industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 102.9% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from -$30.50 million to -$61.90 million.
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 2.57 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company.

Works Great, Never had any issues. WESLEY from Anaheim, CA– Verified Buyer I have had this unit over a year now and it works great. Build quality is very nice. The unit when operating is very noisy but i don't mind noise so it didn't bother me. |
Honeywell Air Purifier Jeanne Tenorio from Las Cruces, NM– Verified Buyer My asthma got so bad this year I decided I needed an air purifier in my dusty, desert home. Wayfair had a great price on the Honeywell HEPA. I originally chose this particular model because it has a permanent filter, no disposables..Yea! My only issue with it is that it is kind of noisy. But, it does a great job and I am happy with it. |
Honeywell Hepa Permanent Filter Air Purifier. Laura from Harrow, ON– Verified Buyer This is an excellent air cleaner, no other brands compare with the Honeywell products. |
Seems to do what it suppose to Stephane from Quebec, QC– Verified Buyer Hard to review such unit as results are hard to measure but the air seems indeed cleaner from what our noes can tell. Some disadvantages are the big size, the one meter from the wall constraint and the significant noise but i guess similar unit will have comparable disadvantages. |

Tax compliance and obedience to authority at home and in the lab: A new experimental approach

Get AccessAbstract
In most experimental studies of tax evasion, participants are instructed that they may report any amount of income from zero up to the amount they actually earned or received. This amounts to an invitation to gamble. In contrast, real-world tax authorities unambiguously demand compliance. We develop two new settings for conducting tax experiments. Both involve an explicit demand for compliance. Thus, we can determine whether knowing that the experimental authority would regard evasion as wrongful disobedience will influence compliance decisions. We demonstrate that simply telling people that they are required to pay a "participation fee" analogous to a tax produces remarkably high compliance rates and less sensitivity to changes in economic variables than in the earlier experimental literature using invitation-to-gamble language. This suggests that many people pay taxes despite the financial attraction of non-compliance because they are strongly inclined towards obeying authority. Furthermore, we show that giving participants a week to make their reporting decisions at home without an authority figure physically present overcomes the inclination to obey for some people, significantly lowering compliance rates. However, the majority still complies, even after the audit rate falls from 25% to 1%, which would make non-compliance extremely attractive if it were viewed only as a simple matter of risk and expected return.

Jennifer Aniston's Golden Globe Legs Photos 2010-01-18 09:25:00
Jennifer Aniston Slits It Up at the Golden Globe Awards
Jennifer Aniston gave everyone quite an eyeful of her perfectly toned legs last night thanks to the high slit in her Valentino gown at the Golden Globes — what can we say, we couldn't help but highlight her one more time! Plus, looking through all the photos is so fun and perhaps a little New Year's Resolution motivation. During the show she was spotted grabbing a drink with Courteney, and back in the press room, Gerard Butler understandably couldn't keep his eyes off Jen. She may not have been up for an award but still had her share of gold between her tousled hair and sun-kissed body. The Bounty costars got playful in the press room, which could account for Gerard's jokes about what a great time he had. While we do hope that someday it's Jennifer's turn back in the winners' circle, her playful presenting style and last night's leggy number earn her a special shoutout from us.
To see more of Jennifer Aniston looking sexy last night, just read more.

Adam Scott, you know, the golfer your girlfriend cares about more than you? Yeah, well, his popularity exploded on Sunday after he won the Masters, and now it looks like the TV show "Bachelor" has interest in bringing him aboard. After he won the Masters, ABC executive Robert Mills tweeted about the possibility of the golfer becoming the next "Bachelor" So……Adam Scott as the next #Bachelor??What say you, #Bachelornation? — Robert Mills(@Millsy11374) April 14, 2013 The Adam Scott as #Bachelor idea has exploded. Will try and meet. And Ryan Lochte-this is what it means to have interest in you as #Bachelor — Robert Mills(@Millsy11374) April 15, 2013 I love how supportive @chrisbharrison is of the Adam Scott as #Bachelor idea. We know why he's doing it-he wants to play 18 holes at Augusta — Robert Mills(@Millsy11374) April 15, 2013 Chris Harrison to whom Mills referred in his last tweet is the host of the show. Would Scott have interest in doing the show? Only he knows, but I have to imagine that it would be tough to fit into his golf schedule. And it's not as if Scott would have any trouble finding dates, either. He and tennis player Ana Ivanovic have been in an on-and-off relationship. They were together late in 2011, but they had split up as of earlier this year. H/T MSN Entertainment

Child, Please! The 10 Most Misbehaved Celebrity Kids
The Kid: Malikah Shabazz
Her Celebrity Parent: Malcolm X
What She Did To Cause Trouble: Okay, so Malcolm X wasn't a "celebrity" in the way that most of the other folks on this list were. But, he was a public figure before he was assassinated in 1965 and we're pretty sure he wouldn't be too happy to hear that his daughter sullied the family name earlier this year by getting arrested on charges of identity theft. She allegedly used the name Khaula Bakr—a wife of one of Malcolm X's former bodyguards—to obtain a line of credit to pay bills. That is, until police were called when her daughter skipped several days of school and discovered what she had been doing. See? Even the children of human right activists have their issues.

Cindy Lynn's Note:
I love making homemade angel food cakes and meringues, but unfortunately hate the waste of egg yolks. Recently, my range decided not to cooperate on my daughter's birthday, so I attempted three times in one day to make her 'promised' angel food cake...resulting in 36 egg yolks left over...YIKES! I made a ton of my Homemade Neverfail Egg Noodles, but I could only stand to have so many noodles made ahead, so I was on a mission. This is the recipe I found, then modified, from one of my Open Line Cookbooks (a radio station recipe program I loved listening to with Mom as a young girl). The recipe does not require chilling prior to rolling and baking, but I prefer to anyway, and in between cookie sheets. I like to double this recipe, as well as most cookie recipes to be quite honest. I think this would also work well pressed out as a cookie dough for a dessert pizza, although I haven't tried that yet. I have also used frozen egg yolks with great success, so there is no need to take on both an angel food cake project or meringue project and cookies in the same day. These also freeze well after baking; I haven't tried freezing them before baking yet. I hope you find this recipe as useful as I do!

For about an hour this morning, humans across the world were briefly forced to interact with each other in person.
Shortly after 12:10 a.m. ET, Facebook and Instagram went down, leaving millions of users around the world briefly unable to post selfies or humblebrag.
Visitors were greeted with a message that said, "Sorry, something went wrong." For others, the page wouldn't load.
A group identifying as the Lizard Squad, which hacked Malaysia Airlines' website Monday morning, claimed responsibility for taking down the social networks on Twitter.
The outage affected a large portion of the United States, according to downdetector.com. Users across Asia, Australia and New Zealand also reported having trouble logging on.
"We're aware that many people are currently having trouble accessing Facebook and Instagram," said Facebook spokeswoman Charlene Chian told CNN. "We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."
But an hour is an eternity! Without Facebook, how are you supposed to know which friends are having birthdays? Without Instagram, are you supposed to just describe your dinner?
People quickly took to Twitter. And the outage quickly spawned a hashtag, #facebookdown.
It ran the gamut of emotions.
Some were funny:
Some were serious:
Some went old school:
Some made the most of it:
Some offered survival tips:
Some were ready for come-what-may:
And some got really creative, really fast:
About 52 minutes later, both sites were up and running.
And all was right with the world!

Publicly admitting you read comics means you're willing to put up with a perplexingly persistent notion of the medium as the exclusive domain of the super heroes. Even in the current realm of savvy pop art dabblers as likely to pray at the altar of independents like Image Comics as they are the Big Two there's this lingering idea that in the beginning there was only the cape and spandex set and it's just in the past three decades that we've really let in the serious Graphic Novelists and autobio peddlers. Sneering intellectual jokesters will spit at the funnybooks without recognizing the origins of that alternate name and basement dwelling dilettantes will tell you it was only when the bearded British men came to our shores that we got hip. But comics have always been weird. Comics have always contained multitudes.On a weekly basis at the start of the 20th century, Winsor McCay cranked out surrealist panel breaking masterpieces lushly detailed enough to inspire both Dali and Moebius decades down the line, with nary a cape in sight. Before Marvel was even an idea, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby created romance comics, presaging the soap operas that would eventually inspire Chris Claremont's convoluted narratives in that other misbegotten Kirby co-creation X-Men. And then there was Herbie. Continue reading…

In Videodrome, shortly before the arrival of the least sexy waiter in the history of cinema (no link for this, you'll just have to go rent the movie), Max Renn (James Woods, no hyperlink needed) and Masha (Lynne Gorman, IMDb listing not interesting enough to link to) share the following exchange on the nature of the phantom Videodrome signal Renn is tracking:
Videodrome is something for you to leave alone. Videodrome. What you see on that show, it's for real. It's not acting. It's snuff TV.
I don't believe it.
So, don't believe.
Why do it for real? It's easier and safer to fake it.
Because it has something that you don't have, Max. It has a philosophy. And that is what makes it dangerous.
That, in a nutshell, is how I feel about the Cultural Gutter. It's dangerous because it has a philosophy.
What are the tenets of that philosophy? I'm pretty sure it's post-po-mo, and believes we've gone beyond any sort of central or authoritative narrative (and contends that's really the central metaphor of Diary of the Dead). Yet at the same time it abhors aintitcoolnews' (not linked on principle) onanistic abuse of the exclamation point.
The Gutter would rather watch Turner Classic Movies than AMC, even though it's kind of creeped out by Ted Turner, because it believes movies are meant to be seen in their proper aspect ratio, and from beginning to end without commercial interruption. (It admires David Lynch for his stand on this, among other things.)
The Gutter went to shoot-along screenings of The Killer back in the 90s, and got that out of its system. Now, it makes an ominous half-turn to stare down people who talk during movies. It gets up and exits the cinema to complain if the film goes out of focus, or if the sound is bad. Insofar as this goes, the Gutter may be bit of a cranky old man. It definitely likes wearing cardigans, though part of this is in homage to Bob Newhart.
It's still kind of angry about the replacement of unionized projectionists with pimply-faced candy-bar staff. It believes the projectionist is the last member of the film crew, and the one with the most power.
It believes that even though the seventh art is a latecomer, it's still an art form.
And yeah, it kind of always wanted to French kiss a television.
So, why put yourself out there? Why write several hundred words a month? Why imagine your opinion matters to anyone, or that you have anything of value to contribute? Why do it for real, when it's easier and safer to fake it? Maybe simply because stuff can't be uncommunicated, and because a bullet in the right place can change the world, but it's no substitute for a good meme.
Or maybe because the battle for the mind of North America will be fought in the Gutter. The Gutter is the retina of the mind's eye. Therefore, the Gutter is part of the physical structure of the brain. Therefore, whatever appears on the Gutter emerges as raw experience for those who read it. Therefore, the Gutter is reality, and reality is less than the Gutter.
You could think on that. Or you could ignore this article entirely and watch the version of Videodrome Brian O'Blivion would watch–all the good bits–in eight minutes and 29 seconds. (Courtesy of The Cut Up).
Either way, keep tuning in to The Cultural Gutter–the one you take to bed with you.
Ian Driscoll is sure you'll forgive him if he doesn't stay around to watch. He just can't cope with the freaky stuff.

December 5th, 2008 @ 12:46 pmi ended up watching capricorn one on TCM the other day, in its correct aspect ratio and in its entirety. it's like an inversion of videodrome–making the fake seem real. and everyone's dangerous because they end up with a philosophy–or lose one by the end.
so i guess i'm wondering if the gutter's up there in a biplane with elliot gould and telly savalas, pulling culture everyone believes is dead onto its wings and then barnstorming for all it's worth.
i hope so. -

December 8th, 2008 @ 10:59 pmI still remember going to see a Mamet play years ago, and after shushing some rowdy teenagers, I overheard them say, "I think the old guy is mad at us!" I was, like, 27! Maybe I should have stuck to the "ominous half-turn" rather than saying anything out loud

December 15th, 2008 @ 1:34 amSo are you saying that the Gutter is The New Flesh? If so, long live it!

The rich media trigger 320 is a rich media file or program that can be rendered at user workstation 140. The rich media 320 includes a Flash file, designed and compiled using Macromedia Flash MX, manufactured by Macromedia Inc. Text 330 may be used as the way shown in The service trigger 40 may be the script program 340. The script program 340 is a programming script such as java script that is associated with ad 30. When the ad 30 is rendered to the user workstation 140, the script program is run. Example of script program is a client side java script that renders a graphical icon/image file floats in random direction on a web page. The graphical icon/image file is clickable, and further to activate the service. The script that renders floating ads is an example of the script program 340. Another type of service trigger 40 shown in In an alternative embodiment, the advertisement 30 is also used as the service trigger 40. For example, user can activate the service or start the service initiation process 80 using the mouseover event, and forward to the advertiser's web site by a click. For example, the ad 30 is configured to forward to the advertiser's web site when the user click within the ad 30. In addition, the ad 30 is configured to activate service 35 when the mouse is moved over to the advertisement and idle for a predetermined period of time. In such cases, the ad 30 is also the service trigger 40 despite what format the ad 30 is in. Service Interface Now referring to The service interface 50 is the user interface of the service 50 that a user uses to interact and input data to the advertiser server 120, publisher server 130 or ad network server 110. When the service trigger 40 is triggered, the service initiation process 80 starts. The service initiation process 80 obtains information related to the service 35 and renders the information in the form of the interfaces 50. In the preferred embodiment, the service interface 50 is a markup language form 410 written in markup languages. A HTML form that can be rendered in a web browser at the user workstation 140 is an example of markup language form 410. The service 35 may comprises of more than one service interfaces 50. The interface 50 may be the rich media form 420. The rich media form 420 is a form that is in rich media format. An example of the rich media 420 is a flash form that is designed and compiled using Macromedia Flash MX, manufactured by Macromedia Inc. The rich media 420 form is a rich media file that contains functions to accept user inputs and data submission. The interface 50 may also be the fillable document template 430. An example of fillable document 430 is a fillable PDF document designed with Adobe Acrobat, manufactured by Adobe Inc. Another example of fillable document 430 is a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet that allows user to fill in information and has a macro enabling user to submit the information. The interface 50 may be the email form 440. The email form 440 is very similar to fillable document 430. One of the different is to that the form is open in an email client and ready to be sent. The subject, receiver and other email related information are pre-filled. In general, the email form 440 is a ready to send email that pre filled with some headings, and allows user to fill in the blanks. After the user is done, user can simply send the email out via the email client. An example of email form 440 is an electronic file with extension EML. Two other forms of the interface 50 are the SMS form 450 and the instant message form 460. The form 450 and 460 works similar to the email form 440, but they are loaded by using SMS function and instant messaging client respectively. The form 450 is loaded in a SMS messaging client, while the form 460 is loaded in instant messaging client such as ICQ, MSN Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger. The forms 450-460 allow user to fill in some blanks and then send it out through the associated clients. The interface 50 maybe non form based interfaces. The chatting console 470 is an example of such interface 50 that allows user to chat with another entity. A web based java script chatting module may be used as the chatting console 470. In general, the chatting console is hosted at the ad network server to ensure security. In one embodiment, the chatting console may be hosted at the advertiser server 120. When the service 35 is triggered, a chatting program or java function is loaded and user can chat with other people. The people joining the chatting console may be people from advertiser network 120, ad network server 110, or other users. The interface 50 can be configured as the auto response audio system 480. The system 480 is an audio interface that may be deliver using audio speakers and a microphone of the user workstation 140, or connected to a phone that is communicable with the user workstation 140. The user input information using the phone, to record a message, or the touch tone keys to make selections and input data. The interface 50 may be the API program 490. The service process 45 initiates a program that comprises of the API 490 resided at user workstation 140. The API program 490 contains functions to communicate with ad network server 1 10, or other servers via the program 490. In one embodiment of the present invention, the service 35 does not have interface 50. If the service performs simple task such as bookmarking a web site that contains the ad 30, then there is no need to have the interface 50. Service Initiation Process The service 35 comprises of the service trigger 40 and one or more service interfaces 50. The service trigger 40 is a switch to activate the service, user uses the trigger 40 to open up the service 35. The interface 50 is a visual, audio, or both interfaces of the service, the interface 50 is the user interface for accepting user inputs. When the trigger 40 is triggered by the trigger event, the service initiation process 80 starts. At step 510, the process 80 obtains the identifier of the trigger 40 from the ad network server 110. The identifier indicates which service the triggered trigger 40 is associated to. In the preferred embodiment, the trigger 40 has a one to one relationship with the ad 30, therefore the identifier of the ad 30 can be also be the identifier for the trigger 40. The identifier may be a single value or a group of different identifiers. At step 520, the service initiation process 80 determines which service to load and customized configurations of the service 35 according to the identifiers obtained at step 510. In one embodiment, to which service 35 to be loaded is depending on a number of factors; and the identifier is only one of the factors. At step 530, the process 80 retrieves service 35 related data from various sources including the ad network server 1 10, the advertiser server, and other sources. The service related data includes data related to service interface 50, service process 45, type of service 35, requirements of service interfaces etc. In the preferred embodiment, the service 35 data are supplied by the ad network server 110 for security reason. Therefore, the ad network server 110 is able to validate the codes of the service 30 before transmitting them to the publisher server 130. It is because it can be very dangerous for the publisher servers 130 to insert any code that are transmitted from the advertiser servers 120. In an alternative preferred embodiment, the service 35 data are provided by the advertiser server 120 or third party servers for complicated functions that are not possible to be supported by the ad network server 110. At step 540, service data obtained at step 530 is transmitted to user workstation 140 and rendered by user workstation 140 in the web browser interface. In the preferred embodiment, the initiation process 80 open a new web browser window and loads up the service interface 50. The service interface 50 is rendered in the new web browser windows, with data and information related to the ad 30 according to the service 35. In one embodiment, the service interface 50 is rendered to replace the ad 30 in the user workstation 140 web browsers. Method of use will be discussed in At step 550, a service initiation confirmation is sent to the service data sources indicating the succession of the service initiation process 550. Service Process After the service initiation process finishes at step 610, the service 35 is loaded and the service process 45 starts. At step 620, the service process 45 accepts user inputs through the service interface 50. In the preferred embodiment, service interface 50 is a HTML web form which allows users to enter data. At step 630, user submits input data. User can submit a data by certain actions such as clicking on a HTML button, a hypertext link, or closing the pop-up web browser. At step 640, the process 45 validates the data input data from step 630. If the input data are invalid, process 45 notifies user and ask user to re enter the data. If the input data are valid, the service process 45 continues to step 650. At step 650, the process 45 checks whether the user has finished inputting all data or the whole service process 45. The process 45 determines if the service process should end or continue with another process such as recursively starting another service 35. Another service 35 starts if the user recursively calls another service within one service. It means that an additional trigger 40 is loaded within the interface 50. If the process 45 determines that the user finishes using the service, the process 45 continues at step 660. At step 660, the data handler 75 processes the collected data collected from the user. The data handler 75 performs all necessary actions that are required to process the data according to the service 35. The necessary actions that are required to be performed by the handler 75 includes: sending the collected to advertiser using media such as email, ICQ, or SMS etc., submitting survey data to advertiser using API functions, sending ad 30 as attachment to other entities, and handling coupons/rebates as requested etc. In general, data handler 75 is a function that processes the data according to the associated service 35. The current process 45 ends after the data handler 75 handles the data, the process may return the control to a parent service 35 if it is called recursively. In one embodiment, the process 45 may load up another interface 50 instead of exiting the process 45. In the embodiment that no interface 50 is associated with the service 35, the service process 45 is not used as well. It is because the service initiation process 80 can finishes the tasks of the service 35 without waiting for user input. Contact Service There are different types of service 35, the service 35 may includes one or more: the contact Service 55, the Transfer Service 60, the Survey Service 65, and the Coupon Service 70, the demonstration service 71, or a combination of the services 55-71. User can select from a list of predetermined email subject from a drop down box 710. User enters in a text field 720 the information that the user wants to inform the advertiser or the advertiser server 120. A text field 730 is used to enter an email address of the user. A radio button list 740 may give user the options whether he/she wants to be contacted by the advertiser or advertiser server 120. User can also use a contact option list 750 to tell related parties which methods can be used to contact the user if the radio button list 740 is chosen yes. After entering data, the user uses a submit button 760 to submit the information. When the button 760 is clicked, the data handler 75 of the service process 45 of the contact service 55 runs and processes any necessary functions. In the preferred embodiment, the data handler 75 of the contact service 55 assembles all the entered information into an email and sends it to a predetermined email address of advertiser server 120. Transfer Service The user chooses whether to send the ad 30 as attachment or the link to the receivers using a radio button list 825. The user uses a receiver option form 830 to enter receiver's contact information. The user chooses from a list of services media such as email, voice recording broadcast, instant message, and SMS etc. Button 840 is the submission button of the transfer service 60. The sender can be the receiver as well if he/she wants to have a record of the ad 30 in certain form. When the button 840 of the transfer service 60 is clicked, the transfer service data handler 75 starts and handles the data. In the exemplary service 35 of the transfer service 60 shown in For example, if the user is trying to use the service 35 to send a certain ad to a receiver using email, the handler 75 then uses predetermined SMTP server configuration to send an email with the ad 30 attached, or if the user tries to send the information via SMS, data handler then send the link of the ad 30 using a SMS API function. The service 35 may have sub services 35 inside it, the submit button 840 may start another service initiation process 80 instead of calling the data handler 75 as shown at step 650. Survey Service The survey service 65 allows advertiser to conduct surveys, polls, or questionnaires along with advertisement or independently via advertisement terminals. User starts the survey service 65 by firing the service trigger 40. After the service initiation process 54 of the survey service 65 finishes, the service interface 50 of the survey service 65 is shown to user. Referring to A button 950 may be used to show updated survey result to the user. The service process 45 loads up a pop-up window and shows the updated results using a pie or bar graph. A button 960 may be used to continue with another survey or poll. The service 35 may have more than one service interfaces 50. User can submit the input data using button 970. The button 970 calls the handler 75 of survey service 65 to handle the survey or poll data. Generally, the handler 75 of service 65 inserts the data collected by the service 65 into a database. Coupon service The coupon service 70 is used when the advertiser wants to distribute coupon, rebate, and rain checks via advertisement terminals. User starts the coupon service 70 by triggering the trigger 40. The service initiation process 80 of the coupon service 70 loads up the service interface 50 of the coupon service 70. A coupon image 1010 shows the related coupon of the associate service 35. The coupon image 1010 may be an image file, rich media file, or in simple text format. The description of the coupon is shown in a description area 1020. The description may include the type of product of the item associated with the coupon, configuration, and manufacturer information. An instruction area 1030 shows coupon usage instruction such as date limitation, method of redeeming the coupon, and restrictions etc. An expiry date area 1040 shows the expiry date of the coupon. After considering the coupon data, user can redeem the coupon or the rebate by using a redeem button 1050. After clicking the redeem button, the user is forwarded to an advertiser's site to buy the product there, or directly to the check out pages. In one embodiment, user may buy the product directly in the service 35. User use a save button 1060 to save the coupon for later use, methods of saving a coupon include bookmarking the ad 30 or the coupon, saving the coupon to the memory of user workstation 140 etc. The user may also use send button 1070 to send the coupon to a friend. After clicking on the send button 1070, a pop up windows is brought up. In one embodiment, the send button 1070 triggers the transfer service 60 and allows user to send the coupon to other entities using service 60. The coupon service 70 is not limited to distribute coupon only, it may be used to distribute rebates, rain checks, and flyers etc. Method of Use When the user clicks on the trigger 40, the service initiation process 80 starts and retrieves service 35 information. The service initiation process 80 renders the service interface information into a pop up window as shown in Alternative Method of Use When the user clicks on the trigger 40 (�survey� button), the service initiation process 80 starts and retrieves service 35 information. The service initiation process 80 replaces the slot occupied by the ad 30 with the service interfaces. The service 35 is independent of the ad 30, therefore, the web browser is actually re-rendering the slot to load the interface 50. Unlike other method that interaction functions are embedded inside the advertisement, the service 35 of the present invention can be removed from the ad delivery without affecting the performance of the ad. The method of the present invention has an advantage that allows advertisers to change marketing strategies frequently without re-designing the ad 30. In addition, the service 35 provides advertisers the flexibilities that no prior art provides. In the preferred embodiment, which is in an advertisement delivery network configuration, the advertisers only have to supply an ad 30, and the service can be provided by the ad network server 110 with minimal steps. In the alternative method of use of the preferred embodiment, user submits data using the submit button to submit the data. Alternative Service Interface Embodiments Referring again to In the embodiment that the interface 50 is the auto response voice system, the service initiation process 80 initiate an audio output device and an audio input device. The content of the interface is in audio format, and allow the user to record information using the audio input device, or using other input devices. Example content of the interface includes a question asking the user through a speaker, and the user input the answer using a microphone, or a keyboard. Service Creation Advertiser enters the poll question in a text box 1320. A text box list 1330 is used to enter choices for the poll. Advertiser enters the email address in a text box 1340. The data obtained from the survey service 65 are sent to the email address indicated in text box 1340. Advertiser can choose the appearance of the service trigger 40 from an image list 1350. Advertiser can further choose the location of the service 35 in reference to the ad 30 from an image list 1360. After configuring the survey service 65, the advertiser can save and continue with the ad campaign setup by clicking a submit button 1370. Additional Services In the description of the present invention, there are four discussed services 55-70. More service 35 with other options may also be used. For example, a stock ticker service that allows service to check stock prices via service interface. The stock ticker service is useful for financial business who wants to show off their services. Another possible form based service includes a forum service that accesses a forum that allows user to read other user's comment such as product review, advertiser review, and also allow user to leave comments. Example of advertisers who may use the forum service includes retail business that offers forum functions. Another non form based service is a news service. The service 35 loads the latest news from a database every time the service is triggered. The news service is suitable for a portal or media related advertiser. Yet another non form based service is a demonstration service 71. The interface 50 of the demonstration service is a product demonstration showing demonstration including images, text, video, audio files, software functions, or a combination of the above related to business of the advertiser. The demonstration service is useful for advertisers who want to show additional information related to products of company related to the advertiser's interests. Example of advertisers that may use the demonstration service includes real estates broker, art demo, dating company etc. Another example of the demonstration services 71 is a software company showing off the company's product. A company that manufactures online graph reporting software can shows exemplary graph in the service 71. A company that provide smileys and emotions function in email can use service 71 to allow the users to send email via the service interface 50 with the company's smileys and emotions. A very specific example is using the demonstration service 71 of the present invention along with Google AdSense, an advertising services provided by Google Inc. The service trigger 40 is in the form of text 330 as a hypertext link similar to Method of Requesting and Integrating Services There are different methods can be used to integrate the advertisement along with the service. Although the existent of the advertisement is not compulsory, however the service 35 of the present invention is preferably accompany with the advertisement 30. In the preferred embodiment, the ad 30 and service 35 are requested using the same technologies that are used in any other advertising method. If the ad is an in page format, a code segment is inserted to the publisher's web page. When the ad information is transmitted to the publisher server 130, the publisher server modifies or rewrites its HTML code to reference the advertisement 30 served by the ad network server 110. To use the service 35 along with the ad 30, the ad network service just needs to send additional information about the service 35 to the publisher server 130 along with the ad 30 information. An exemplary HTML code fragment for a typical image file based ad and an image based trigger 40 as rewritten by the publisher server 130 is shown below:
An exemplary HTML code fragment for a typical video file banner ad as rewritten by the publisher server 130 is shown below:
An exemplary HTML code fragment for a typical rich media ad as rewritten by the publisher server 130 is shown below:
The exemplary code fragments shows that the service 35 is independent of the advertisement 30. The service code is added by the publisher server 130 during HTML rewriting according to information obtained from the ad network server 110. If the advertiser requests to use the service 35 along with the ad 30, the ad network server 110 then sends service related data along with ad related data to the publisher server 120 if the ad 30 is chosen to be loaded, so the publisher server can rewrite the code with the service information included. However, if the advertiser does not want to use the service 35 along with its ad 30, the advertiser can simply reconfigure the ad campaign. Then no service related information would be send to the publisher server 120 when the ad 30 is selected to be loaded. The publisher server 120 has no information whether the ad 30 to be loaded use the service 35. Dynamic Service Usage Embodiment The publisher server 130 sends an ad request to the ad network server 110 in order to request the ad 30. The ad request may include data related publisher server 130, user workstation 140, and other third party servers. After identifying which ad to be transfer to the publisher server 130, the ad network server 110 may also determine whether to send service 35 related data along with the ad 30. The decision whether to send service 35 information can be depended on a few conditions and factors. The decision is made according to the preference of the advertiser server 120 and data obtained in the ad request. For example, the ad request sent by the publisher server 130 includes some data indicating the publisher server 130 that does not want to have service 35 being used on its pages. The ad network server analyzes the data and understands that no service 35 information is needed. Then the ad network server 110 sends only the ad 30 related data, without sending any service related data. Another example of dynamic service usage is having more than one services 35 associating with one ad 30, and to which services 35 the publisher server 30 should use depends on certain factors. For example, the advertiser creates an ad campaign and wants to use two services 35 (first service and second service) with the ad. If the ad 30 is shown less than 10 millions times, the ad 30 should be delivered with the first service. If the ad 30 is shown more than 10 millions times, then deliver the ad 30 with the second service. Yet another example of dynamic usage is that using two different services in turns. If the ad is requested the first time, associate it with the first service; then the next time the ad is requested again, associate it with the second service. The dynamic usage of dynamic service is useful when the advertiser has two different polls or surveys. There are other methods of using a dynamic service. To which service should be used, or whether to use a service is determined by a series of conditions. If the services 35 are used dynamically, step 520 of the service initiation process 80 is reconfigured to handle the decision making. No Advertisement Embodiment In one embodiment of the present invention, there is no ad 30. The service 35 is initiated and started directly as the publisher server 120 rewrites and modifies the HTML codes. In general, ad network server 110 transfer the service 35 data directory to the user workstation 140 and go direct to Message on Service Trigger In general, a message on the service trigger 40 showing user what type of service 35 the trigger is related to. Below is a list of exemplary messages that can be used: Contact Advertiser Customer Services Comment Survey Poll Coupon Here! Rebate Email to a friend Discuss with others Chat with our world class customer services representatives Add to bookmark! Which part of President XXX's compassionate conservative agenda is most important to you? What do you want to see on [politician name]'s agenda? Which product you want to buy next? Take a look at our samples See pictures of our newest members The message on the trigger 40 helps users to identify the usage of each service 35. Offline Embodiment The method of the present invention can be implemented in an offline embodiment. In the offline embodiment, the publisher server 130 is preloaded with advertisements 30 and service 35 data. The publisher server 130 comprises of at least one output device to display the advertisement 30 and service interface 50, and an input device to collect data from user. The data handler 75 stores the collected data locally until further use. For example, an electronic display billboard is accompanied with a touch screen monitor and a processing system in a subway station. The electronic display billboard display advertisements 30, the service trigger 35 is shown on the touch screen monitor. If the user wants to use the service 35, the user can touch on the service trigger 40 on the touch screen monitor and start the service initiation process 80. The service interface is then made available to the user through the touch screen monitor. The user can enter and submit data using the touch screen monitor. The data handler 75 then stores the collected data locally in the processing system for later use. Thus the reader will see that the method of the present invention provides an efficient, intelligent, yet powerful method that can be used by advertisers to provide complicated, efficient and flexible services through advertisement delivery terminals. With the present invention, advertisers can provide customer services, distribute coupons, extend reaches, and conduct surveys along with their advertisements. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the method and apparatus of the present invention has many applications and that the present invention is not limited to the representative examples disclosed herein. Moreover, the scope of the present invention covers conventionally known variations and modifications to the system components described herein, as would be known by those skilled in the art.

In this week's section, Tim Carman has the scoop on one ingredient you're going to want to be on the lookout for: baby ginger. As the name indicates, it's essentially immature ginger, with a lovely blush hue. We could not get enough of the stuff when Tim brought back an armful to the office the other week.
Baby ginger can be used in place of the more fibrous varieties typically found at the grocery store, but expect a milder flavor. For some of you, that might be a good thing. Here are some ideas for fresh ginger root, from our Recipe Finder:
• Chocolate-Ginger Sandwich Cookies, which would be a great option for your holiday cookie swap.
• Murghi Korma (Chicken in Saffron-Almond Sauce), a fast Indian main course.
• Mushroom Noodle Soup, a simple soup with a wonderful ginger fragrance.
• Pear Cranberry Sauce, for your Thanksgiving meal.
