Folding Handles, Stacking Pots: Bialetti Cookware Concept International Home & Housewares Show 2011 Here's an interesting cookware prototype that Italian cookware manufacturer Bialetti displayed at Housewares: A stacking all-in-one cookware set with folding handles. Is this the ideal set of cookware for a tiny, tiny kitchen?
Organic Black Cookware from De La Terra International Home & Housewares Show 2011 You know how much we love Chamba cookware, the black clay pots and pans from Colombia. There's a new line of this velvety black cookware on the market now, introduced at Housewares. It's gorgeous in person, and a little more modern and functional in its form.
Smart Silicone Lids from Lékué & Charles Viancin International Home & Housewares Show 2011 It's still silicone, silicone, and more silicone at this year's Housewares show. It has been the hot thing in kitchenware for years now, and while I have grown completely disenchanted with it as a material for bakeware, there were a few clever uses I noted yesterday. My favorite uses of silicone were these lids from two European companies. One as stretchy and malleable as Silly Putty, and another shaped like a lily pad, but with the strength of a vise.
Lovely Kitchen Storage Jars from Urban Butik & Kähler International Home & Housewares Show 2011 These jars are one of my favorites from this year's Housewares show. I actually saw them online a few weeks ago, and I was hoping to see them in person. These are going to be just lovely in the right kitchen.
Beautiful Tea Ball & Espresso Maker from Freud United International Home & Housewares Show 2011 Here's one of the more beautiful things I've seen so far at the 2011 Housewares Show: A stovetop set of tools for making hot tea and espresso. The photos don't do them justice; they just stopped me in my tracks.
OCD Chef Board & Yumbots: 5 Fun Things from FRED International Home & Housewares Show 2011 FRED & Friends makes quirky, playful, family-friendly products for the table and the kitchen, and they are always one of the first places I visit at the Housewares Show. They are a friendly bunch of people, too, with well-developed senses of humor. Here are a few new things from this year — all playful and a little silly, and awfully fun for the kitchen.
Bakeware for Toaster Ovens from Chicago Metallic International Home & Housewares Show 2011 I'm pacing the miles (literally miles!) of aisles in Chicago's McCormick Place today and tomorrow, scanning the thousands of products on display at the Home & Housewares Show. Nearly everyone who makes or sells something for the kitchen and the home is here this week, and while there is a lot of useless stuff on display, it's also a pleasure to check out quality products in person. Here's one great product: An update to Chicago Metallic's high-quality toaster oven bakeware line.
Eye Candy: Le Creuset, Staub & Matteo Thun Knives Home & Housewares Show 2010 Two weeks ago I flew out to Chicago to see the gargantuan Home & Housewares Show for the first time. I love Chicago and the show was really interesting in that it wasn't furniture or design centered, but service centered. Everything was closer to hardware store than to home furnishings shop, and everything was PRACTICAL. After two days of trolling (I barely cracked the show), here are my top finds.
New Colors (and a Glass Bowl) from KitchenAid International Home + Housewares Show 2009 The color news from KitchenAid at the Home and Housewares show in Chicago this week is bright and bold. There are two big stories - the "new" color which was there in prototype form, and another look at the 90th anniversary model of the now-iconic stand mixer. Plus — exciting news about that retro glass bowl!
Microwave Silicone Steamer from Orka International Home and Housewares Show 2008 Microwaves and silicone - these two things and certainly the combination of both were hardly likely to win our attention at the Housewares show. We've predicted that home cooks are past the honeymoon phase with silicone and until recently we really only used our microwave for defrosting chicken and melting butter. But things have changed. Yesterday two illustrious kitchen figures - Mark Bittman and Harold McGee - sang the microwave's praises. We're wondering if we have overlooked our microwave's good qualities. Enter this Orka silicone steamer, which really impressed us at the show.

AFSCME approves contract
by WILY/WRXX News Staff • March 20, 2013 • News
Illinois state government workers represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees have voted to approve a three-year contract.
AFSCME Council 31 officials announced yesterday evening that its 35,000 members approved the pact reached Feb. 28 after 15 months of negotiating with Gov.Pat Quinn.
Workers won't get a raise in the first year but have accepted 2 percent salary increases in the last two. Those due incentive "step" increases will get them and ten years' seniority will bring a $25-a-month longevity increase.
But union members will pay an additional 1 percent of salary for health care premiums and other health costs.
Quinn also agreed to provide a 5.25 percent pay increase due in 2011 that refused to pay at the time.

Well, previous to the site changes there was a lot of talk about what should and could be done about games.
One of these conversations involved allowing BYOND members to submit games for review to be listed. Now this used to involve guilds and such so I do not know how well this applies now. But since the BYOND site changes and since all games have to be filtered and checked anyway. Could that still be a possible process?
For instant, say I made a game (Regardless of what type of game it was as long as it wasn't a rip), but I don't have the money to buy a membership or for whatever reason I don't have a membership. However, I have a considerable player base with players who do have members ships and they would like to see the game listed so it could get more attention or what have you. Could there be a way for those paying BYOND members to submit the game to be listed? Or perhaps could there be a way to add them to the hub of the game to allow them to edit it and such and then submit it?
I personally have a membership, However, it was a topic brought up to me and I didn't know how to answer it, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask and see if it is or might be in the future. I mean since all games are filtered and sorted now, it shouldn't be an issue as long as the game meets the same guild lines as the games listed now. Of course, people should still be encouraged to buy memberships. =]
Just wondering.

When it comes to buying a bike for your child, safety should be your biggest concern. Buying a bike of the correct size is critical. Don't be tempted to buy one that's too big with the idea that your child will grow into it - it may be hard for them to control and could lead to a crash. A bike is the correct size when a child can place the balls of both feet on the ground and reach the handlebars comfortably while sitting on the seat.
Children's bike sizes are based on their wheel diameter, usually stated in imperial and/or metric measurement on the wheel itself. On test are six 40cm (16in) and six 50cm (20in) bikes. Nine models from our previous test are still available and are included in the results table. Sizes are generally appropriate for certain age groups (see Children's Bikes), but will also depend on your child and their needs. CHOICE found that price doesn't guarantee better quality and that some of the more expensive models failed major safety requirements.
In our last test, we had to assemble four of the bikes, most of which were cheaper ones from department stores that come in a flat pack containing a partly assembled bike. From experience, if you're planning to buy one of these, we suggests you put aside longer than just the recommended time for its assembly (25 minutes for one model) – a couple of extra hours should compensate for incomplete or confusing instructions. In this round of testing, we sent all the bikes (assembled or not) to a bike shop to be assembled and/or checked over. This gave all the bikes the best possible chance at passing the standard. We recommend getting your bike assembled and checked at a bike shop; it costs about $50 but is a smart investment.

Bay. Transformers. Sh*t.
February 14, 2012 in Movies
Michael Bay has been doing a pretty damn good job at making some compelling robot CGI badassery but when it comes to storytelling? Well, is it even possible to do any worse or just flatout boring stories than the last two Transformers movies? There is such a huge wealth of potential for a Transformers movie if it can focus more on the story of these robots and not so much on the who-gives-a-shit humans that hog too much of the damn spotlight in the unnecessarily long Transformers movies. So when Michael Bay said Dark Side of the Moon would be his last film, I wasn't sad in the slightest he was leaving the franchise because I couldn't wait for another director to make a truly compelling Transformers flick. Well, son of a bitch, Paramount Pictures has signed on the director for a fourth film. I wanted to believe Bay could make a good Transformers movie the last outing but he made a horribly placed and boring movie, so is there any chance a fourth time is a charm for him? On the positive side, at least we know the action will be undeniably awesome.

In the Gospel of John, Malchus is the servant of the Jewish High Priest, Caiaphas, who participated in the arrest of Jesus. According to John, one of the disciples, Simon Peter, being armed with a sword, cut off the servant's ear in an attempt to prevent the arrest of Jesus.
The story is related in all four gospels, in Matthew 26:51, Mark 14:47, and Luke 22:50-51, and John 18:10–11, but the servant and the disciple are named only in John. Also, Luke is the only gospel that says Jesus healed the ear.
The relevant passage in the Gospel of John, KJV, reads:
10 Then Simon Peter having a sword drew it, and smote the high priest's servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
11 Then said Jesus unto Peter, Put up thy sword into the sheath: the cup which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?
Thornton Wilder wrote a short play entitled, "The Servant's Name Was Malchus." It appeared in the collection "The Angel That Troubled the Waters and Other Plays."
Malchus was portrayed by Paul Brightwell in the 2013 TV miniseries The Bible.

When the skies at home turn gray, the leaves have fallen and snow covers the ground, Mexico continues to offer warm inviting beaches that are ideal for a winter vacation. La Manzanilla rentals provide the perfect place to visit for a week or longer. These homes provide more room than one would find in a hotel and an excellent choice for a getaway.
The town is located along the southern edge of Bahia de Tenacatita, offering the perfect place to enjoy an ocean-side vacation. In addition to numerous day of sunshine there are plenty of sea breezes. Wiggle your toes through the sand or take a dip in the ocean as you create memories that will last a lifetime.
This part of Mexico offers plenty to keep active travelers busy. There are opportunities for hiking, boogie boarding, biking, snorkeling or kayaking just around the corner. Take a tour of the mangrove to see the many native birds as well as other wildlife. On Fridays, visitors will want to head into town for market day while opportunities to visit shops are available most other days.
Many of the restaurants are owned by gringos and the wait staff normally speaks English. However, at the Palapa restaurants located on the beach, taco stands in town and local grocery stores, the primary language is Spanish. Many of the locals are beginning to pick up English from the large number of visitors. Be courteous and remember speaking louder or slower will not help a non-English speaker to understand you.
Visitors from the USA should plan to drink bottled water or soda. Most bars and restaurants use purified water for drinks, but a visitor is free to ask just to be sure. If one chooses to prepare meals in the home, it is a good idea to add a product such as Microdyn, which can be purchased at the local grocer, to the water used to clean vegetables for salads. For drinking homes, it is likely the visitor will find one or more five gallon water bottles intended for his use.
There are many restaurants in the area that serve a wide variety of foods. Try the Palapas, located on the beach for rich, homemade Mole or seafood omelets known as ceviche. Venture into the streets and enjoy tacos from the many stands that are open only at night. Some of the grocery stores are open from 8 in the morning to 9 at night.
Located on the beautiful Pacific coast of Mexico in the state of Jalisco, the area is a 3 1/2 hour drive from Puerto Vallarta. When flying, choose the Manzanillo Airport, about 45 minutes to the south. While traveling by bus is possible, there is no direct service from Puerto Vallarta; therefore, travelers may need to take a taxi from the next town to the south back to their rental.
La Manzanilla rentals offer a wide variety of accommodations for travelers to this Pacific Coast area of Mexico. The water is warm and the beaches are beautiful. Mexico offers the perfect place to escape the dreary winter of home.

Chef Wanted: Zengo Update
by Joseph Erdos in Shows, February 28th, 2013Zengo is a high-volume restaurant located in New York City that's famous for blending Latin and Asian cuisines. Restaurateur Richard Sandoval is looking for a new executive chef who can meet three criteria: understand Latin and Asian cuisines, command respect from a demanding kitchen and keep consistency in every dish. Anne Burrell and the Chef Wanted team were called in to help with the search. After two tests and two dinner services, an offer was extended to Chef David Sears.
David Sears lives in Orlando, Fla., with his Peruvian-Chinese wife, two sons and is expecting a baby on the way. Growing up in the Bahamas as the son of a parliament member, David was expected to behave a certain way but ended up rebelling and turned to a life of crime. His turning point came when he found a passion for food and cooking. He recently was going to be the executive chef of a restaurant venture, but the project fell through. Chef Sears sees the opportunity at Zengo as a way to rebound his career and be able to provide again for his family.
On his first test, Chef Sears had it easy, creating a fusion dish that combined influences from both Peruvian and Chinese cuisines. Richard and Anne loved the dish. Unfortunately David couldn't keep the momentum going for his second test. The challenge was to use two fermented ingredients to create a dish, but Chef Sears' use of black garlic and Shaoxing wine were found to be almost unnoticeable. When it came to service, Chef Sears took on too much and lost track of time during prep. During pre-shift with the wait staff, he broke down emotionally when Richard and Anne found fault with all of his dishes. During service, the expeditor got into a fight with the general manager, which slowed down service even more. But in the end, the flavors that Chef Sears was able to convey in his dishes received nothing but praise from the diners and Richard. Chef Sears was offered the job of executive chef of Zengo because he was able to meet all of Richard's conditions.
FN Dish caught up with Chef Sears since the show taped. Watch the video above to find out what he's currently doing. Chef Sears didn't end up taking the job at Zengo because the move would have been too much stress on his family. He instead took a job at a resort closer to home. He's thankful for the experience of being on the show and all the confidence he gained from competing.

So – who got the job? Did they hire the other chef or place an ad somewhere?
Well, I hope that they offered the position to the other chef. He also seem to needed the job.
Well, I hope that they offered the position to the other chef. He also seem to needed the job.
Zengo episode was amazing!
I feel that the choice was made for Chef Sears before the competition even began! He was also my first choice before the competition. He had the brains, brawn and looks! Even Chef Ann shed a tear over his breakdown! I knew he had a comeback because of his CHARISMA!! Isn't that what TV. Looks for anyway? I think it would be cool to notice people because of their Charisma. lol Maybe my son Mike, 10 year Army Vet. might stand a chance at life. He suffers with sever P.T.S.D. But he is a damn good artist as well as tattoo artist. He has AMAZING charisma.. He can make even the most sad people you know laugh! He's a natural that way!! I appreciate others that have suffered hard times. Yet, still shine with charisma!!
Thank-you for letting me speak my mind.

I think you we're both wrong! The expediter needs to be replaced and they should both get a fair chance!
That was my thought – the expediter is probably the reason they can't keep an executive chef there!
After experiencing several disappointments on Chef Wanted ( the yelling, conflicts with hiring and closings) I felt this show was a total fiasco. However, this episode turned it around for me. When initially introduced to the contestants, I too sensed that Chef Sears was going to excel. When presented with his pre- shift challenge and was not able execute, I truly felt his anguish and frustration. But then with encouragement from Chef Anne Burrell & support from the kitchen staff ( with the added unexpected drama between the Expiditor and the rest. Mgr. – which gave Chef S. a chance to make good), he pulled it off like a true and genuine professional.
I was sincerely impressed . I commend the owner, Richard Sandoval and his staff at Zengo Restaurant – It appears like a true supportive family type atmosphere exists here which welcomes employees as well as guests, not to mention the food that looks amazingly insane, innovative & delicious. I look forward to eating there someday. Good luck to Chef Sears in his future career ventures.-
Didn't you see the bug running across the beef. I'll pass at eating there
I was just thinking the same thing!!!!!
I'm happy for Chef Sears. It sounds like his decision to stay in Palm Beach and work as a resort chef was the right choice. I feel bad for the chef with the new baby who lived in New York who did just as well as Chef Sears but did not get the job. Maybe he was offered the position once Chef Sears told them he would not be taking the position.
I hope so too!
Has anyone taken the job or stayed employed in the position on this show? I don't remember one but then again, maybe it's just rare.
Agreed No one actually works in the restaurant.
A hole owners? -
I also have not seen any chef who keeps the job after it has been offered to them..there is always some lame excuse for them turning it down.. I feel cheated from watching this show because of that.. I can't understand why they go thru all of this nonsense to only give up the job that they say they need so badly.. I'm guessing they do it for their 15 minutes of fame from being on T.V.
I think Chef Ann needs to cover her hair, as well as her chest, thst she always has exposed. That
woman is very unprofessional looking. She seems to do an awful lot of yelling at people, and thinks
nothing of embarrassing them. I truly feel thst this network is going down the tubes morally, where
are they heading??????

Universal, EMI Now Clear for Mega-Merger
The proposed merger between Universal Music Group and EMI Group, two of the "big four" record companies, is really happening. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission announced this morning it had unanimously approved Vivendi-owned Universal's $1.9 billion offer to buy the recorded music arm of Citigroup-owned EMI, without conditions. Earlier today, as the Wall Street Journal reports, European Union officials approved the deal on condition that the combined entities sell off key brands.
Universal, the biggest record company in the world, and EMI, the fourth-biggest, together make up 39 percent of the global record market, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The E.U. is requiring the combined entities to sell off operations with €350 million ($457 million) in revenue, or about two-thirds of EMI's European sales. As expected, the company will have to sell the Parlophone label, home to Coldplay, Gorillaz, and other major acts. It will also have to unload smaller labels such as Mute, Ensign, Virgin Classics, and Chrysalis, plus EMI's 50% stake in the Now That's What I Call Music compilation series.
Universal told the Journal the E.U.'s approval "will benefit the artistic community and music industry" and that Universal is glad it will hold onto more than two-thirds of EMI's global business. But IMPALA, a trade group representing European independent record labels, protested that the required sell-offs wouldn't be enough to limit Universal's increasing grip on the market. Casey Rae Hunter, deputy director of the U.S. nonprofit Future of Music Coalition, told Politico that "there's not really going to be any number of divestitures that will make this a groovy deal." Somewhere, someone at General Electric, the majority owner of Universal-owning (and now EMI-owning) Vivendi, a French media conglomerate, is chanting "swag."

Just. Great.
My parents actually decided on what they thought was the best decision they ever made, next to being married to one another. They so happily thought it would be nice to travel out of our dull little town and into one with more liveliness. Aside from the many friends I had to leave, I surprisingly couldn't agree more with it…that is, if it wasn't below freezing at the time.
We just so happened to plan our move in mid-December, where you can easily freeze almost every part of your body if you weren't well protected. What was even better was having to live closer up north. It even started to snow right when we unloaded the boxes from the moving truck. It was a good thing we didn't have as much furniture and only a few boxes to carry; otherwise we would have been up to our knees in the white stuff in close to an hour!
Although the weather was pretty intense, the usual calm snowfalls seemed to put my mind at ease. The warmness of my new home though didn't give the impression of having a fresh new start at making friends. Sure everyone would have their doubts on the said matter, but eventually a few would come along and then most people would soon forget about the worrisome situation.
I just hope I have at least one person to help me throughout the whole school year.
Sighing slightly at the cold morning upon me, I pull my bag closer against my shivering form as I hastily walked to the bus stop. I shoved my pale hands, which had lost their color quickly, from the freezing temperature around me. My close-to-light jacket didn't help at all either since I didn't have enough time yesterday to buy something heavy to wear after the big move. Even though it was late autumn, I could already tell winter had decided to come earlier than I expected and shoved this season aside for next year.
I was still a bit nervous for my first day of being new to the school and tried to ease my worries as I gazed upon the freshly made blankets of snow that arrived during prior to the start of the day. I swiftly made a sharp turn around the corner of the intersecting streets and continued down the snow covered pathway to my destination.
The cleaning guys could've at least done a better job sweeping this stuff so I could see better at where I'm going… I swear I couldn't even see the road at all with all of it still lying around! A few times I almost tripped on the curb due to the snow blinding my pathway. A low grumble erupted from my throat as I concentrated more on the trail ahead of me.
Suddenly, something firm had hit my front as I was still clumsily looking down towards the ground, but ascended my gaze to see what I had just collided with. I averted my (e/c) eyes only to meet with icy blues that almost seemed like ice daggers at first, ready to strike me down right then and there. Looking closer I could see that the being in front of me was not angered, but only a bit irritated and showed…concern?
"E-es tut mir Leid(1), I didn't know you were walking towards me." The tall man stammered apologetically, revealing the distress in his bright azure eyes.
He was sorry for not seeing me running into him? Well how can he be? This guy was huge compared to my tiny form! He could probably carry a shit ton of bricks and still not break a sweat! I shook my head seeing as I was losing my train of thought again, becoming oblivious to the regretful man that still stood in my path.
"It' ok, I didn't really see where I was going. All this snow distracted me from seeing what was actually in front of me the whole time." I laughed slightly, a hand hovering over my nervous chortles, as I mentally slapped myself for acting all innocent to this guy. For all I know he could have been one of the dumb jocks that tired to flirt with every girl with the 'perfect figure', but something told me he wasn't some mindless idiot. Before I could pass by him I had noticed what street I was currently on and which specific area I was supposed to be for the bus to arrive. I sighed in relief as I knew where I was.
The man raised a brow as to why I had still stood in his place until he noticed the school bag I still held rather close to my quivering form. "You're new here, ja? I don't think I've seen you at my school before. My name's Ludwig by the way." He asked with a fluent German accent, looking down at me with a cold, serious expression that could have shot any person down with fear and uneasiness. He brought out a hand for me to shake as I reached out to shake it gently, but with a good enough grip to show him slightly of my character.
I simply looked up at him with a small smile and nodded, chuckling with pursed lips at seeing the shade of pink across his face from the cold darken. I could already tell mine was worse due to the lack of thick clothes I donned. "Yeah I'm the newbie. O-oh and the name's ______." He looked as if he was trying to force a smile, like he hasn't curved his lips in such a way for ages. Or he just doesn't show it as much to others in public.
I examined more of his features as I had enough of the time to, but didn't want to stare at him too long to seem like a complete creeper in his much critical eyes. I'm usually a laid back person and the last thing I want to give is an impression of being 'that stalker around the corner'.
His outfit was a hoodless, leather brown jacket that had just touched about the mid-range of his hips, along with a navy blue sweater neatly tucked under, seeing the hood pop out in the back. There was also a rather serious aura that would always follow him around. He could be easily taken for military instructor that always kept his men in line without a single soldier out of place, flawless in any and every aspect possible. The same went for his bright golden hair, not a single strand falling out and neatly slicked back to match his demeanor. His eyes were something different though, and would change from a raging blizzard to a serene snowfall in a matter of seconds.
*The only thing I couldn't get over was the awkward atmosphere at the moment, silence eating away at my past regrets of trying to say at least a single word. But no, the uncomforting feeling wanted to incase me at the point to where I would burst out with a shout of irritation, or maybe just a cry for help. Then it occurred again. The moment my mind shifted to ignoring my thoughts for lost words and the cold surroundings pulling me into realization with my shivering body.
I hadn't understood the soundless person next to me had brought me to such warmth, with just having the thoughts of him wrapped in my uneasy mind. It was like he was a heater that radiated off soothing waves of bliss, in which I had so desperately needed his relaxing source for every moment to keep me off of winter's edge. My eyes soon fluttered shut, wanting to escape the sight of the frozen tundra before me, and move to a more tranquil area.
I wanted to imagine a fireplace. The crackling of firewood would be heard in the distance as I waited eagerly for the radiating heat from the everlasting fire to hit against my cheeks that were flushed from the cold. Oh how I wished it could happen all so easily, how my mind plunged into the depths of my greedy thoughts expecting for the comforting feeling to welcome me with open arms. All I had received though was the slight breeze of the upcoming chilling winds, making me whimper quietly over the lies my thoughts had try to deceive me with.
All the while this was occurring; a certain German had continued to gaze at me silently, as my eyes were tightly closed in disbelief of the reassurance I had once sought for. His eyebrows only furrowed more as to seeing me quiver endlessly, which caused him to worriedly bite his lower lip. Something wasn't right as he remembered the tightening feeling he once had when we shortly conversed just moments ago. Questions had loomed over him with much curiosity as to why he felt so odd around this new stranger. The word didn't suit his needs though, seeing them as some unfamiliar person, as he felt something more compared with any other foreigner he's ever encountered.
Then he noticed something.
I was shivering, and more spasmodic than I had expected.
A shock of realization jolted through the blonde's mind the second he examined me more, and a pang of guilt rolled in right after. He took in how thin my jacket was and how I kept my (h/c) locks laying neatly over flushed ears. My hands were tucked in the whole time due to the lack of protection I had around my numbing fingers, so I barely had anything to protect my shaky arms along with the rest of my upper body. His eyes widened as he even heard a slight chattering of teeth in the distance. It's always been a bad habit for me ever since I felt winter's touch, so I couldn't help it.
My mind felt like an empty void now as I waited hopelessly for the bus, and almost shut down completely as I let go of my senses. It slowly slipped away inch by inch, the warm feeling I once longed for. There was still one thing running in my state of being, and that was the soft, white blankets that surrounded me. I could just let go of the world and fall into the supple pile that waited patiently to catch my weak form. Just as I gave into the satisfaction of having some sort of comfort that my dazed mind had wanted, I felt a force that caught me just as my knees buckled together.
At first I thought it was yielding snow to catch my fall, but this came all too soon as the force below me started to lift me up again. There was something different to this welcoming sensation though, as I could feel my senses coming back into realization once more. It was warm. A linger of something that was difficult to describe could also be caught by its distinctive smell. There was a trait of cologne that could easily be found, though the smell of pure leather was something that took me a bit longer to make out. Wait, leather…as in his jacket. That was the first thing that struck me when my eyes flew open with much haste.
As I whipped my head to where I had sought the tall man still was I was miserably mistaken to see no sign of him to where he once stood. Something stopped me in my tracks as I felt an extra weight around my shoulders, and slouched over until it stopped at my mid-thighs. Running my fingers over the slick material I could already tell that it was the German's jacket, the only thing left is to where the donor was. I made a quick 180 to find something I would have never expected to be so close to me.
"Are you alright?" I almost fell back as to seeing Ludwig stand so close to me, even the words had caught me off guard a bit. He noticed this as my feet slipped back, and quickly wrapped an arm around to catch me from behind. He swore something under his breath, which sounded like German, before he brought me up and even closer to him with his one arm. Ok, now that we were inches apart from our faces touching, I knew it was the time where I would turn red all over, as I saw the same across his once serious face. Now it was just a sheepish grin that seemed overbearingly adorable on his features.
"I, um…yeah sure! Why wouldn't I be?" A nervous chuckle erupted from my lips as he brought me back up to my feet…again. It really does seem like I can't even stand when I'm next to this guy, but that's just Jack Frost trying to play his old tricks again with all this damn snow. I was expecting to have the strong man release me buy now, but he only did the exact opposite as he snaked his other arm around me. I didn't budge though and only looked up at him, eagerly waiting for his next move. Never have I felt this kind of comfort, and I would have gladly accepted it over the warm jacket that still hung snug around my body.
He looked down at me with his memorizing blue orbs and all I could do was marvel in their beauty. I was almost deceived as to thinking they were growing by each passing moment, but I had realized that we were moving closer and closer until I felt his lips brush against mine. My eyes lowered as I felt his hot breath mix with my own, until we finally closed the gap between us in an enticing kiss. The feel of his lips were soft and smooth, something that I would have never realized with such a rugged man and warmed my insides up to the brim.
I could feel my arms slip up around his neck, but knew the jacket he had given me would slip behind me with the way it hung loosely around my small shoulders. I could honestly care less about the piece of clothing. All I wanted was to stay in Ludwig's arms, like being wrapped in a huge cozy blanket that would keep me warm until day ends. Once we broke for air I looked back up to him to see a warm smile grace his lips, as I soon felt one grow upon mine. Suddenly he pulled me closer into an embrace as his chin rested lightly on my shoulder.
"You really are her aren't you?" He asked softly that made me cock my head to the side slightly. I only nodded to reassure his wondering curiosity and felt my body vibrate a bit when he started to chuckle softly. "Then I guess my bruder's actually been right for once." I seriously had no idea as to what he meant that time, but I just shrugged it off and lightheartedly patted his back. He went back to kiss my forehead which made me ten shades of red again before he bent down to pick up the fallen jacket.
"It's still cold out so maybe you should-" Before he could finish I kindly took the leather coat that he held in front of me to offer, earning a small smile as I allowed him to help put the weighted material on me. I could have easily put it on myself but somehow I just couldn't say no to the proposition. We both gave one another a friendly grin as we stood by the bus stop again, like nothing had ever happened.
We were having a small conversation about our families and whatnot and where I used to live along with the old friends I had to leave behind. He nodded sincerely as he wrapped his hand around mine, entwining our fingers that gave me a reassured smile. I already knew the school year was going to go perfectly, or close to what I expect it to be at the least, and I'd spend it with someone I would actually enjoy being with. Friends were a similar matter that came to me, but Ludwig was something that I exactly needed to keep my head held high with optimism.
I would soon meet his family along his obnoxious brother Gilbert, and come to make new friends that would surely put a smile on my face. The years would go on and we would graduate together, though he would be sent off to different colleges that would make me call him every day in hope of the time I would see him yet again. For now I would enjoy the simple times we would have together and cherish every, well almost every, moment that we would encounter.
"Huh, well whaddya know, more snow." I spoke in a bit of humoristic tone, reaching out with my one free hand as the other was still enlaced with Ludwig's. I couldn't help but giggle when I saw the small snowflakes fall gently onto the German's eyelashes, as he repeatedly tried to brush them away. It didn't help as they came in larger amounts by the second as the white stuff falling everywhere by now. The bus had just arrived, finally, as I let out a sigh of relief with my doubts of it never coming at all. It surprised me as to Ludwig and I being the only two at this bus stop, but then again there weren't as many houses around the area.
Once the bus driver had allowed us to walk onto the bus I held onto his hand a bit tighter before finding a seat for the both of us. I could hear "aww"s and "they're so cute together" in the back, but I just rolled my eyes as they just thought of us as one of those adorable couples. Ludwig on the other hand had a bit of pink tinted across his face and I, of course, laughed at his expression which only earned a raised brow from the blonde who stared at me with much confusion. I could already tell that we were both going be having a year or two with this always on our backs, but hopefully they'll stop sooner or later. All I cared for really is finally finding the one trusted being that would share all my laughs and cries with for as long as I could hope for.

Taylor says the hardest song to write on her new album 'Red' was 'All Too Well.' She revealed this on 'Good Morning America' on Oct. 22. Read the full lyrics below and tell us who you think she is talking about!
Congrats to Taylor Swift! Her fourth album Red hits stores today, Oct. 22, and on GMA, she dished about the most difficult song to write emotionally — a track called "All Too Well." Could it be about her ex-boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal?
In the interview, Taylor told George Stephanopoulos about the new track:
"All Too Well" [was difficult to write emotionally] because it took me a really long time to filter through everything I wanted to put in the song without it being a 10 minute song, which you can't put on an album. I wanted a story that could work in the form of a song and I called my co-writer Liz Rose and said, 'Come over, we've gotta filter this down,' and it took me a really long time to get it."
As we already reported, many of the songs on Taylor's album give hints that they could be about Jake. In "All Too Well," Taylor sings about meeting an ex-boyfriend's family and leaving her scarf at his sister's house. She sings, "Walked through the door with you. It was cold, but something 'bout it felt like home somehow and I left my scarf there at your sister's house. And you still got it in your drawer even now."
Taylor reportedly spent Thanksgiving 2010 with Jake's family, including his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal.
During the interview, Taylor looked super pretty wearing Pearl Paradise Brilliant Collection Pearl & Diamond Earrings ($282 at pearlparadise.com).
Check out the full lyrics below:
I walked through the door with you
It was cold, but something 'bout it felt like home somehow and I
Left my scarf there at your sister's house
And you still got it in your drawer even now
Oh your sweet disposition
And my wide eyed gaze
We're singing in a car getting lost upstate
The Autumn leaves falling down like pieces in their place
And I can picture it after all these days
And I know it's long gone, and that magic´s not here no more
And it might be okay, but I'm not fine at all
Cause here we are again on that little town street
You almost ran the red cause you were looking over me
Wind in my air I was there I remember it all too well
Photo album on my counter
Your cheeks were turning red
You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin size bed
And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the t-ball team
You tell me about your past thinking your future was me
And I know it's long gone, and there was nothing else I could do
And I forget about you long enough to forget why I needed to
Cause here we are again in the middle of the night
We're dancing round the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs I was there I remember it all too well
And maybe we got lost in translation
Maybe I asked for too much
But maybe this thing was a masterpiece
'til you tore it all up
Running scared, I was there I remember it all too well
Hey you called me up again just to break me like a promise
So casually cruel in the name of being honest
I'm a crumbled up piece of paper lying here
Cause I remember it all all all too well
Time won't fly it's like I'm paralyzed by it
I´d like to be my old self again
But I'm still trying to find it
After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own
Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone
But your keep my old scarf from that very first week
Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it, cause you remember it all too well yeah
Cause there we are again when I loved you so
Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known
It was where, I was there, I remember it all too well
Wind in my air you were there you remember it all
Down the stairs you were there you remember it all
It was where, I was there I remember it all too well
Do you think "All Too Well" is about Jake, HollywoodLifers?

Kudos to her for dating often instead of spending precious time in a rotten or fake relationship and then end it badly. Even better, she makes millions in the break ups. Smart business woman. Nothing wrong with her dating around until the right one comes along. Men do it all the time and it is acceptable. Plus she learns from each relationship.

cf December 24, 2012
Yeah, she looks like a lot of fun! I don't understand why so many guys prefer all those skinny girls while a girl like this has at least something to offer. it feels so much better to have a lady with you that's silk and soft and u have something to grab! And guys... theres not much that's better than diving your face between such joyful legs and tasting and smelling that love juice.

Using Twitter's Lead-Gen Card to Recruit Beta Testers
Posted: December 18, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: blog | Tags: email, hack, twitter | 12 Comments »It turns out that it's pretty easy to co-opt Twitter's Lead Generation card for anything where you want to gather a bunch of e-mail addresses from your Twitter community. I was looking for people willing to alpha test a little side project of mine, and it worked great and didn't cost anything.
The tweet itself:
Love tech discussion but looking for a better community? Help me beta test a side project! https://t.co/H3DYjbCy19
— Hilary Mason (@hmason) December 12, 2013
I created it pretty easily:
- First, go to ads.twitter.com, log in, and go to "creatives", then "cards".
- Click "Create Lead Generation Card". It's a big blue button.
- You can include a title and a short description. Curiously, you can also include a 600px by 150px image. This seems like an opportunity to say a bit more about what you're doing.
- You do have to set up a privacy policy URL. I used a simple google doc.
- You also need to configure a fallback URL, which is where people will go if they don't have a Twitter client capable of the one-click signup. I used a Google form, which let people give me their e-mail addresses directly.
And that's it! Tweet enthusiastically, then wait patiently, because if you don't integrate your Twitter card with your CRM, you have to wait ~24 hours for the download link to appear in the Twitter cards manager. The resulting CSV looks like this:
Timestamp,User id,Name,Twitter handle,Email 2013-12-12T23:36:05,774485611,Robots Rule,RobotzRule,email@example.com
A little bit of awk later and I had a list of e-mails ready to go. I ended up getting 49 responses through the Google form and 197 through the Twitter card. It was easy and I'll definitely do this next time I need to collect people's e-mail addresses for a project.
Book Book — Goose!
Posted: January 10, 2013 | Author: Hilary Mason | Filed under: projects | Tags: absurdity, hack | 25 Comments »I like to read. I love bookstores, I like to wander, and to find things that I didn't know existed. But bookstores don't have every book that exists. Amazon has most books, but search is a terrible way to discover new things. Amazon's recommendations most likely maximize purchases, but are a terrible way to find something you didn't know you were looking for (look at a book like Effective JavaScript, for example, and you get recommendations for Async JavaScript, Building Node Applications with MongoDB and Backbone, JavaScript Enlightenment). Similarly, top 100 lists are great at showing you popular things that you're probably more likely to buy, but not very good at helping you find a book with a story or idea that's unlike anything you've read lately.
There must be a better way to explore books.
A random way to explore books would be a good way to start.
Hence, bookbookgoose. Browse randomly. Enjoy!
Hint: use the 'n' key to go forward quickly. I find about .2% of the books are awesome.
Update: you can now find @bookbookgoose on Twitter, sharing one random book per hour.
Update: Dustin Kurtz at Melville House had an eloquent writeup of the beauty in this random literature.
A quick twitter bot, @bc_l
Posted: July 26, 2010 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog, projects | Tags: bc, bot, command line, hack, script, twitter, unix | 5 Comments »Several months ago, on a whim inspired by an off-hand comment from Chris, I created a bot to bring the wonders of the Unix bc language to twitter.
bc is a command-line calculator that's fast and has the capacity to do some fairly complex math.
Try it out on the command line:
echo '100 / 10' | bc -l
…Or by sending a direct message to bc_l (if you follow bc_l it will follow you back within a few hours).
I released the code under GPL, and it's available on github: http://github.com/hmason/tweetbc.
John Cook mentions the bot and makes some great observations in his post three surprises with bc.
Art and Technology: Seven on Seven
Posted: March 14, 2010 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog, Presentations | Tags: art, hack, museum | 1 Comment »I'm honored and excited to be participating in Rhizome's new conference Seven on Seven, where technologists and artists are paired up to create a completely new project in 24-hours.
The formal description:
Seven on Seven will pair seven leading artists with seven game-changing technologists in teams of two, and challenge them to develop something new –be it an application, social media, artwork, product, or whatever they imagine– over the course of a single day. The seven teams will unveil their ideas at a one-day event at the New Museum on April 17th.
I really love this idea because the time constraints and the inherent discomfort of the situation (working in an unfamiliar space with an unfamiliar person) makes it likely that we'll be able to accomplish something creative and unexpected. Or else it will go completely awry, which will still be amusing for the audience.
I've had a lot of fun and been able to work on some interesting projects at hackathons in the past, and I hope this one will be even better.
The event has been covered by an amazing assortment of blogs, including TechCrunch, BoingBoing, Art Fag City, Stowe Boyd and Andrew Parker.
Yahoo OpenHackNYC: The Del.icio.us Cake
Posted: October 17, 2009 | Author: hilary | Filed under: blog, projects | Tags: api, cake, conference, delicious, hack, openhacknyc | 4 Comments »Last weekend Yahoo came to New York for an Open Hack Day, and it was great!
I was invited to speak on a panel on semantic metadata, moderated by Paul Ford (harpers.org) along with Marco Neumann (KONA) and Paul Tarjan (Yahoo/Search Monkey). The panel was a lively discussion, and we got some great questions from the audience.
After the panel, I stayed around to participate in the hack competition. Yahoo! provided a fantastic space, with free-flowing coffee, snacks, comfy chairs and plenty of Yahoo folks and other hackers around to give advice and play foosball with. I teamed up with Diana Eng, Alicia Gibb, and Bill Ward to create the Del.icio.us Cake!
The cake is attached to a laptop via USB. A program running on the laptop accepts a delicious tag and retrieves a list of recent popular sites for that tag from the delicious API. Finally, it iterates through each URL, downloads the page, and computes the sentiment of that page relative to the tag — basically, is the content of the page positive, neutral or negative?
The signal is output to an ardiuno (hidden in the middle of the cake) which turns on the appropriate set of LEDs. There are four sets of LEDs on the cake, one in each quadrant of the delicious logo, one each for positive sentiment, neutral or inconclusive sentiment, and negative sentiment, and, of course, one to let us know that the cake is turned on.
I wrote the sentiment classifiers between around 3am and 6am Saturday morning, so they really were a hack! I trained them on movie reviews data, working with the assumption that 5-star reviews contain positive terms and 1-star reviews contain negative terms. I wouldn't recommend this approach for a serious attempt at sentiment analysis, but it worked well enough.
We won the food/hardware hack prize, shared with the awesome MakerBot team!
We had a great time creating and presenting the hack. Thanks, Yahoo, and most of all, thanks to Alicia, Bill, and Diana for a really fantastic, silly weekend.

Quotable Lyrics
"A project minded individual, criminal tactics
Us black kids born with birth defects, we hyperactive
Mentally sex-crazed, dysfunctional they describe us
They liars, at the end of the day, we fuckin survivors
I remember watching Scarface the first time
Look at that big house, that Porsche paid for by crime
How could I sell this poison to my peoples in my mind?
They dumb and destroy themselves is how I rationalize"

Sonic, he can really move/Sonic, he's got an attitude/Sonic, he's… on my iPhone?
Not entirely out of left field, but entirely unpublicized, comes Sonic the Hedgehog to the iPhone. From the description of the game in the app store, the new app lets you "Relive your favorite memories of the Genesis era as you rocket Sonic through hair-raising loop-de-loops and dizzying dives as you gather up Rings and stop Dr. Eggman's schemes for world domination!"
Even though I have probably seen (and played) everything this game has to offer, I still want it… really, really badly. If all goes well with my espresso machine, I should have a review up by morning. Wish me luck!
Update: No more espresso!!! Nooooooo! We may have to wait till mid-afternoon.

Re: Can she pay $222,000? And what if she can't?
I wouldn't be so quick to assume that the children suffered in this case. The family court systems are so farked up in this country that it very often leaves the noncustodial parent (usually the man) unable to support him/herself financially, even though the other parent can choose to live off the other one's income alone (in addition to their new partner's income). The formulas and logic behind child support are a broken mess, and lawmakers are afraid to touch it out of fear that they will be seen as not "thinking about the children."
I have seen it myself many times. A man works full-time and easily supports his family. He gets divorced and loses custody of the kids and is forced to pay a ridiculous amount in child support. He can't even afford to live on his own and has to move in with his parents, while the ex lives comfortably on his child support payments in addition to her own income and her new boyfriend's income. Oh, and to top it all off, she gets to claim the children on her income tax return resulting in thousands of dollars in reduced income tax. If the formulas used to calculate child support ensure that both parents pay a fair share, then why doesn't the noncustodial parent get to claim children as dependents on his or her income tax return?
I could go on and on, but it just pisses me off thinking about it. I don't even have kids and have never gone through it, but family courts ruin people's lives everyday, including the children's in many cases.

For a minute, I thought you were talking about how men are treated in Michigan but it appears to be a nationwide issue. Everything you said is so true. There are men who are scumbags and don't deserve the title as father much less dad, but there many many more who try to do the right thing only to have it used against us when we go into court for a child support review or reduction. They don't care that the other kids are in college and their support/tuition is funded by dad and step-mom. They don't care that all medical is provided by dad. They don't care that dad has paid for both of their cars, insurance and up keep. And they don't care that while doing so, dad will go without or live in a cardboard box to ensure his kids don't have to go without. Mom on the other hand will play the pity card as much as she can and the courts will continue to play along.

Yea, Fellow Michigander here. Wayne County no less of course. Left an awesome career as a Semi-Automated Hydro-Electric Vehicle Maintenance Technician meaning a car wash btw lol for more money working for one of the oldest best known by name piano moving companies. Moving 1800s upright player pianos down and up hills into an unfinished home for too many living well by ripping others off I mean republicans lol. Next winter called back out during the divorce to take it back out since our owner gave out full lifetime money back repurchases to our Christian customers. was making at times almost 180.00 a week and one week we were swamped with deliveries purchasing used and having two stores the second not one delivery in 8 yrs sorta told me to burn it down long ago but so happy on Friday getting the biggest paycheck I'd ever received when the higher mgr asked me to come outside for a minute with him. The handed me my check. $75.00. FOTCUNT contacted my boss and basically scared him into giving them everything i made over 75.00 and I wasn't a deadbeat dad. in fact i rarely could see my son was shocked as hell last time I'd seen him we were out playing putt putt golf on his 13th bday all he wanted and at 17 his crack-whore egg-layer he called mom wouldn't let him use his car we bought and gave him to get to school and graduate since in Mich at least Wayne county the court continues taking my wages as long as hes enrolled in school up until he is 19 1/2 and he called us begging for help. she was dealing drugs even her mom was into it not saying I'm an angel but he never once received his bday Christmas or any gifts or money nothing since the email Addy's she was giving me i was sending them through were just ones she made up for herself he knew nothing of them. He thought I was the bad guy. Also I had no clue even who or what that 6'4+ 300lb+ dude was or why he just almost ripped my door outta the frame. The only one thing since she knew me and I never make or take a threat and always regardless keep my word but in this case she did what I told her and never told me who his father really is. Know one of two but not adding more problems on as he stayed with my parents for a yr while attending school. Dad got him a sweet Ford Explorer. Popo called him said pick it up at the impound. Boy let two friends use it to purchase couple lbs bud with it and they were only 16. We just sorta arrived and left with it they weren't interested in stopping us. The magic of a Smith n Wesson 500 lol. Dad looking around asked whats this battery doing in the back by the hatch. 6 Cell sealed. told him to go find the radio for me
he couldn't. so cracked the code and a 10K system had been installed in that truck. showed him the mega cable under the hood and secondary alternator even being 190 amps i believe. son showed up at my house in the truck asked him if he remembered my Smokey Joe grill said no forgot bring it next day or two. next day the SUV was in Dads driveway he was left a msg once dad did some looking around and making calls. He hasn't and knowing us as he and his mother do won't return to Mich ever. just to make it clear when learning she and her hubby ex hubby ex again were going up wayyy up into Canadia where Canadians live lol to the Indian resort they were before i learned of how this was ending oddly enough heading up on that what 401 or Death Alley while he was driving sorta lost his head when a 35 ft cabin cruiser somehow hmm and its trailer dc'd and damn chains broke too so sorta slid over the hood and down off the trunk back on the road. Sorta made a mess in the middle too tho. Well fuck it. I only have one rule and its the same for all of us here. Actually there are 3 but made em all the same cause sometimes only way to fix Stoopid is to go Boating!!! so DO NOT FUCK WITH ME OR MINE AND THAT INCLUDES MY FRIENDS. Thats simple I think. Brightest Blessings!!! Peace all .

If you live in the area, what stops you from seeing him? Even if she has legal physical custody, you still have a say in his life and not sure about Wayne County but in Macomb, there are 16th circuit court parental time rules. If she's not letting you see your son, you don't need a lawyer, you need to take her to court. All that matters is, your son will see you trying to be a dad and how mother is trying to keep him apart from you. In the end, how you look in his eyes is all that should matter. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone else.
