Friday Recipe Exchange: A Little Bit of Everything
I debated about a recipe exchange this week, it's been a busy, snowy week and I was contemplating curling up with a good book until spring. But then I made these great oven baked chips and thought, I must share.
There was lots of cooking this week, for a change, so the recipe exchange will be, as JefferyW often posts, be made up of tidbits.
Starting with a new chocolaty Nutella Brownie, recipe here, that also happens to be gluten-free.
JeffreyW made some great looking Buffalo Chicken, photos and recipe here.
Chuck roasts were on sale, so I made a Slow-Cooker Pot Roast, full dinner menu and recipes here.
And for the pet lovers, a really quick Bixby Update is here. To say he is trying my patience would be kind. Puppies.
What's on your plate this weekend? We're digging out from about 20 inches of snow, but the sun is shining, so that's a plus. How about you?
Tonight's featured recipe happened because I was at the store and grabbing a bag of frozen french fries (don't judge) and saw they had bags of oven potato chips. I thought that sounded good and easy to make, so I passed the bag by and instead made my own.
They are similar to my Potato Wedges, but because they are sliced thinner, they are really crispy on the outside with a creamy center. I will be making them again. I used russets because that's what I had on hand and it was snowing, so that's what I used. I think they worked great for these.
Garlic and cayenne are optional, but don't skimp on the salt and pepper. You can also use alternate spices or herbs, like rosemary, thyme, marjoram or parsley flakes. Maybe some chopped chives just before you take them out of the oven.
Oven Potato Chips
- 2 to 4 large potatoes
- light olive or vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
- garlic powder
- cayenne pepper
baking sheet, mandoline or grater
Wash and scrub potatoes and slice into thick slices. Mix oil with salt, pepper, garlic powder and dash of cayenne pepper. Toss with potato slices and arrange on well oiled baking sheet.
Bake at 450 degrees, turn at about the 10 minute mark, or when browned on the bottom and continue to bake until nicely browned on the other side, approximately another 10 minutes. Watch carefully and remove any slices that are thinner and brown more quickly.
You can brush with more oil if needed as they bake. Serve piping hot.
I served these with my Cheese Stuffed Burgers and a side salad for a nice dinner.
That's it for this week. Have a great weekend, hope everyone is dug out – TaMara

Friday Recipe Exchange: Not Just For Mardi Gras
We are prepping for the big storm (ok, not New England BIG, but looking at 8-16 inches of big wet flakes) and I almost forgot it was Friday. Since it was Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras this week, that always puts me in the mood for some Louisiana-style recipes and a trip to Lucille's restaurant for their beans and rice (and boy am I going to miss living within walking distance when I finally move – and I am so tired of house hunting).
When I can't get there, I make my own Washday Beans and Rice, recipe and full dinner menu here.
A trip to New Orleans a few years ago gave me my first taste of authentic Beignets at Cafe Du Monde and Po'boys at Johnny's, I liked the sandwiches so much, I hunted down some recipes, (click here).
Looking for something fancier? How about Trout Amandine with Creole Meuniere Sauce (recipe here).
What's on your menu for the weekend? I'll be scanning travel sites looking for somewhere warm to vacation!
Tonight's featured recipe (pictured above) is from JeffreyW:
Shrimp and Andouille in a Creole Mustard Sauce
- 1 pound uncooked peeled deveined large shrimp
- 1 tablespoon Creole or Cajun seasoning (recipe below)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 1 pound andouille sausage, cut crosswise on diagonal into 3/4-inch-thick pieces
- 1 large onion, halved, thinly sliced
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1/3-inch-wide strips
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
- 1 cup low-salt chicken broth
- 5 tablespoons Creole mustard
- 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Toss shrimp with Creole seasoning in medium bowl to coat. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in heavy large skillet over high heat. Add sausage pieces, cut side down. Cook until browned on both sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer sausage to bowl. Add shrimp to skillet; cook until browned and just opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer to bowl with sausage. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, onion, bell pepper, and thyme to skillet. Sauté until vegetables are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add broth, mustard, and vinegar. Stir until sauce thickens, about 2 minutes. Return sausage and shrimp to skillet. Simmer until heated through, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper.
Creole Seasoning
- 1/3 Cup Paprika
- 1/4 Cup Granulated Garlic
- 4 Tbsp Onion Powder
- 1/3 Cup Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 3 Tbsp White Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper
- 2 Tbsp Dried Thyme
- 2 Tbsp Dried Basil
- 1 Tbsp Dried Oregano
Combine all ingredients and place in an airtight container.
Makes about 10 oz.
Bixby hit 115 lbs this week and I'm thinking that raising a Great Dane puppy should be considered an Olympic sport. He exhausts me and then is so damn cute, I'm ready for another day of puppyhood. I'll see if I can get him to do a diary update later this weekend. That's it for this week. Stay warm – TaMara

Friday Recipe Exchange: Valentine's Sweets
I am not anti-Valentine's Day, just don't like all the expectations around it. In my mind, the best thing you can do is spend time in the kitchen together, followed by a movie or favorite show marathon. I've been wooed with the whole restaurant (crowded, rushed staff), flowers (overpriced), and chocolates (oh, who am I kidding, chocolate is never bad) and it was never as much fun as staying home and cooking something delicious.
Now don't get me wrong – take me out for a hot air balloon ride, helicopter over the beach, or an impromptu night away, and I'm not going to complain and say, hey, let's stay home instead. But most of the time, I'm good with some chocolate covered strawberries and a good grilled steak.
With that in mind, I've picked out some favorite sweet treats you can make and share:
JeffreyW and Mrs. J made an awesome batch of Chocolate Éclairs (pictured above), complete with slideshow (here) and video (here).
I love a good Molten Chocolate Cake, recipe here.
Quick, easy and cute, Peanut Butter Kiss Cookies are always a hit, recipe here.
I have a complete Valentine's Dinner here, if you need ideas.
What's on your plate for the weekend? How about Valentine's Day, it's a week off, but got any plans?
Tonight's featured recipe is a foolproof and yummy cake that's quick and easy – the perfect way to end a nice Valentine's dinner:
Mocha Cake
This is a pudding cake – which is basically an extra-large lava cake. And to make it even tastier, I substitute coffee for the boiling water. It doesn't get any simpler than this.
- 1 cup flour
- ¾ cup sugar
- ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
- 1 cup very hot coffee**
- 8×8 inch baking dish, lightly oiled
Preheat oven to 350°
This is a pudding style cake, so you don't want to over bake it. You'll serve it warm and directly from the pan. When you cut into it, a thick, gooey chocolate center will be revealed.
From the top list: combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder & salt. Combine milk, oil, & vanilla, mix well and add to flour mixture. Stir well. Pour batter into baking dish.
From the bottom list: combine sugar & cocoa and sprinkle over batter. Pour hot coffee over batter – DO NOT stir. Bake for 30 minutes or until center springs back when touched, do not over bake.
** for a stronger coffee flavor, double the ground coffee to water ratio when brewing, or use espresso.
That's it for this week. I won't be around next weekend, so no recipe exchange, so have a Happy Valentine's Day. I'll try and get a Bixby update over the weekend, he's a little pill, really coming into his own strong personality. Did I mention, strong? – TaMara

Friday Recipe Exchange: California Dreamin'
I was on the run all week, so I didn't even have time to make you hot cocoa, which was my original plan for the recipe exchange. Instead, I went looking through the archives and found my LA diary and thought, perfect for this dreary day.
This time last year I was planning my March trip to Los Angeles, dreaming of driving up the coast and getting ready to cook up a storm.
Since I've been wishing all month that I was making the trip again, I thought the least I could do was repeat the recipes from a night of cooking I did while I was out there. Nothing new here, but favorite, easy recipes – all at the request of my hosts. The menu for that evening was:
Chicken Piccata (recipe below).
Buttered Potato Pie (recipe here)
Tossed Salad with Cranberry Gorgonzola Dressing
Chocolate Walnut Flourless Cookies (one of my most requested desserts, recipe here)
This was the view for the evening:
Dinner was basically a cooking lesson in an awesome, if underused kitchen. It fun helping others find their innner chef. What's going on in your kitchen this weekend? Besides California Dreamin', what are you planning to help get through the mid-winter blues?
Tonight's featured recipe:
Chicken Piccata with Herb Noodles:
Chicken Piccata
- 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp basil, crushed
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp crushed garlic
- ½ tbsp olive oil
- 4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded flat
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lemon, sliced into very thin slices*
- ½ cup water
- 2 tbsp fresh snipped parsley
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
bowl, skillet
Combine breadcrumbs, basil, zest, and pepper in bowl. Mix ½ tbsp oil and garlic together. Coat both sides of chicken with oil/garlic and dredge in breadcrumbs. Over medium-high heat 1 tbsp ea. of butter and oil in skillet, add chicken and cook 4-5 minutes on each side. Remove chicken – keep warm – add lemon slices to pan, sauté 30 seconds, add water, parsley and juice, boil for 1 minute, spoon over chicken.
*Scrub well before slicing.
Herb Noodles
- 12 oz egg noodles
- 2 tbsp butter
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp basil, crushed
- ½ tsp oregano, crushed
- ½ tsp rosemary, finely crushed
- ¼ tsp crushed garlic
- Sesame seeds, opt
saucepan, serving dish
Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain well. Melt butter in saucepan, add spices, mixing well. Toss with noodles. For an extra touch you can add 1 tbsp of sesame seeds.
That's it for this week. I'll try and get a Bixby update up tomorrow. He's 7 months old and weighs 101 lbs now, as you can imagine any spare time I have is devoted to training and entertaining him. See you next week – TaMara

Christmas Eve Recipes: Cranberry Chutney
Cranberry Chutney
- 12 oz bag fresh or frozen whole cranberries
- 3 crisp red apples, peeled, cored and sliced 1-inch thick
- ground ginger to taste
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1 tsp orange zest
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 3/4 to 1 cup granulated sugar*
- 1 cup water
Combine ingredients in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until softened, reduced and thickened, about 30 minutes. Cool fully before serving.
*I started with a full cup of sugar and it was much too sweet, so I added another 6 oz of cranberries to bring the tartness back. So I reduced the sugar in the recipe to 3/4 cup. If it's too tart, you can always add more sugar. Because not everyone has 5 bags of frozen cranberries in their freezer to adjust with if there is too much sugar. ;-)

Dinner Menu: Oven Baked Chicken and Garlic Baked Potatoes
I've had this in my files to post for a while, so I thought it would make a good full dinner menu. I had run across two different techniques to improve on oven-baked chicken and decided to combine them to see what would happen. I will not make it any other way going forward.
The first thing that is different, you add the flour to the egg mixture, making a bit of a batter. Dip the chicken in it and coat completely. Hold up and let excess drip off, back into the bowl. Then place the chicken piece into the breadcrumb mixture.
Take a spoon and generously spoon bread mixture over the entire chicken. Using a fork, press the breadcrumbs into the egg wash. Turn it over gently and repeat on the other side. Place on a baking sheet (I like to use parchment paper for ease of clean up).
Bake according to directions below. This technique works well with boneless or bone-in and any meat you would dredge in flour or breadcrumbs. It coats piece evenly, creates a tighter seal and you lose less of the breading. By adding flour to the egg mixture the batter keeps the chicken very most and creates a great, crunchy crust.
On the board tonight:
- Oven Fried Chicken
- Broccoli
- Garlic Baked Potatoes
- Sliced Pears
Oven Fried Chicken
- 2 bone-in, skin on chicken breasts
- 2 bone-in, skin on chicken thighs
- 2 chicken legs (or two additional thighs)
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Panko
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup water**
- 1/8 tsp ea. salt & pepper (or to taste)
large mouth bowl, large plate and baking sheet lined with foil or parchment
Wash and pat dry chicken. In large bowl, add water, eggs, flour, oil, salt and pepper and mix well. Spread breadcrumbs and panko evenly on large plate. I often use extra seasoning in the breadcrumbs – garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil and oregano, lots of pepper.
Take chicken pieces one at a time and dredge in the egg mixture, coating completely,
dredge in bread crumbs until lightly coated on all sides. See technique above. Place on baking sheet. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, or until temp registers 160 degrees. I usually cover for 10 or 15 minutes with foil at the beginning to avoid burning the crust. For even crisper chicken, place a wire baking rack on the baking sheet and cook chicken on that. I don't have one big enough, so I haven't tried it.
** add more if needed
Baked Potatoes with Roasted Garlic Butter
- 4 large baking potatoes, scrubbed and dried
- olive oil
- Salt
- 2 to 4 metal skewers
- 1 or 2 large head of garlic
- olive oil
- 1 to 2 sprigs of rosemary, minced
- 4 to 8 tbsp of butter
Skewer each potato (depending on the size of the skewer you can sometimes get 2 on it, leaving room between potatoes). Rub oil liberally on potatoes and then coat with a light layer of salt. Bake at 400 degrees for 30-45 minutes, until tender when pierced with a fork.
Meanwhile, peel white paper skin from garlic and slice off 1/4 inch off the top. Coat well in olive oil, place in a small baking dish (I saw a great recommendation making several and using a 6-cup muffin tin). Cover with foil and bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, or until cloves are soft when pierced. (Of course you can use a garlic roaster if you have one). You can cook this while you are prepping the chicken and potatoes, then reduce heat.
Once garlic is cool enough to handle, squeeze cloves out of their skins. Using a fork, mash garlic, butter, pinch of salt and minced rosemary to smooth paste. Serve with potatoes.
Shopping List:
- 2 bone-in chicken breasts, 2 bone-in thighs, 2 legs (or additional thighs)
- 2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Panko
- 2 eggs
- 1 large head Broccoli

Thanksgiving Files: Hearty Garlic Mashed Potatoes
I was looking through the archives trying to decide which recipes to repeat and this one caught my eye, mostly because I had totally forgotten this cooking method. So reposting as an idea for your holiday dinner. For all the Thanksgiving recipes, click on this link: Thanksgiving Files.
I'm never going to turn away mashed potatoes. Ever. But I do have a favorite style – unpeeled and hand mashed potatoes. I love creamy ones too, but with a good gravy, the hearty ones really hold up.
A while I ago I wrote about a mistake I made cooking potatoes and how I used a recipe I remembered from a few weeks before to save them. Well, I decided to try it for real this time. I could not track down the recipe, but did the best I could with what I remembered. I must have remembered pretty well. They turned out great.
This recipe uses unpeeled potatoes, but you can peel them and whip them for creamy mashed potatoes suitable for the fanciest Thanksgiving table. And don't be startled, but you don't boil the potatoes either, you cook them in cream and butter. Yummy.
Hearty Garlic Mashed Potatoes
- 1/4 cup half & half
- 1/4 cup water or broth
- 3 tbsp to 1/4 cup of butter
- 4-6 small garlic gloves, peeled and minced
- 6 to 8 medium potatoes (russet or yukon gold work best)
4-qt saucepan
Add half & half, water, butter and garlic cloves to the pan and turn heat to low and let butter melt and liquid heat. Meanwhile, scrub potatoes well and cut small (not diced, but smaller than 1-inch cubes). Add to liquid and turn heat to high. Stir constantly until liquid begins to boil, turn heat down to medium-low, cover and let cook until potatoes are fork tender, about 20-30 minutes. Keep an eye on them and turn the heat lower if it looks like they might stick – if you feel like you need more liquid, add half & half. There is so much water in the potatoes, this technique works really well. And the potatoes are extremely creamy because you haven't soaked them in water. When they are tender, turn off heat and mash to desired constancy.

Thanksgiving Files: Cranberry Upside-Down Cake
In preparation for next week, I thought I would highlight a few of my favorite Thanksgiving ideas. Also, to see all of them, click on this link: Thanksgiving Files.
This is by far the most requested dessert I make. This time of year every dinner I attend, this is what I am asked to bring. I'll be making two tonight to take to various get-togethers this week. Easy, easy, easy and foolproof, but always a beautiful presentation. If you're looking to wow, try this one. From 2009:
Cranberries are on sale! Buy them now, because I've got some great cranberry recipes coming up. I'm starting with this one, because if you're going to be a guest at someone else's Thanksgiving dinner, this is the dish to take. It's pretty to look at and it's both sweet and tangy, perfect after a big dinner. You'll wow everyone with it and it's foolproof to make.
Cranberry Upside Down Cake
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 cups cranberries, chopped*
- ½ cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp orange zest (rind)
- 1 ¼ cups flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1-1/2 tbsp orange juice (more as needed)
- 2 tsp butter, softened
8×8 glass baking dish & mixing bowl
Preheat oven to 350°
Melt 3 tbsp of butter and pour into baking dish, spread to cover bottom and up the sides. Add ½ cup sugar, mix with butter on bottom of pan. Add cranberries & walnuts, spread over bottom of pan. Cream remaining butter & sugar, add vanilla, egg, orange zest, mix well. Add flour, baking powder & milk, mix until well blended, don't over mix. Pour batter over cranberry mixture.

Topping: Mix together butter, orange juice & powdered sugar, pour over cake and serve.
* if you don't have a food processor, you can leave cranberries whole.

Thursday Recipe Exchange: Spicy Pumpkin Cookies with Crumble Topping
Finally got down to some cooking. I started the week out with Pumpkin Squares (recipe here), a real favorite with everyone, so a big pan goes pretty quickly. Then it was on to a good spicy pumpkin cookie, the featured recipe tonight. The photo shows both a crumble topping and a cream cheese frosting, but since I really preferred the crumble topping, that's what I included in the recipe. These freeze well, so they can travel to Thanksgiving dinner with family.
I really wanted to make a Pumpkin Bundt Cake this year, so I went searching for recipes and adapted one to use buttermilk, click here, which I thought created a very moist, flavorful cake.
And finally, Pumpkin Cream Pie with a brown sugar whipped cream topping, which I am really enjoying at Thanksgiving instead of the traditional custard pumpkin pie. Pictures and recipe here. I'll probably make it again this year.
For the pet lovers, Bixby update is here. He's five months old this week and a wild thing. And as I was writing this, JeffreyW put up some adorable photos of shelter puppies in sweaters, click here. Please keep your squeals to a minimum.
Now it's your turn. Are you a fan of pumpkin? I know it can be one of those ingredients that inspires a very strong response, either positive or negative. What's your favorite pumpkin recipe or product this time of year? If not pumpkin, what treat really puts you in a fall mood?
Tonight's recipe:
Spicy Pumpkin Cookies with Crumble Topping
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups canned solid-pack pumpkin (14 ounces)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp pumpkin spice
Cream together butter and sugar; add egg, pumpkin, and vanilla, mixing well. Sift together dry ingredients and slowly mix into pumpkin mixture and mix until well combined. Refrigerate for 15 minutes, then drop by spoonful on a baking sheet. Top with crumble topping, pressing gently into the dough. Refrigerate remaining dough until ready to bake.
Bake for 12-13 minutes at 375 degrees. Makes 2 dozen
- 1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick)
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Mix together until crumbly
That's it for this week. Stay warm – TaMara

Part of the reason we're driving! lol They won't let me bring half my house with me on a plane!
Log in or Sign up to hide this advert.
Here is a few off my list that I didn't see on this one:
Boarding passes for the plane if you print them out ahead of time
ADR #'s
Personal towel to take to the pool (nice big one)
Pressed penny stuff
watch (I like this for the plane)
reading book for down time or plane
nail clippers (these go to the park with me too.. nothing puts damper on the day like a dang broken ragged nail)
powder, especially for the summer heat
tide-to-go stain remover (also goes in my park bag)
safety pins
Just want to make sure you know you can buy the small hand sanitizer in a twin pack that hooks on your purse or whatever. This year I bought them and it was so easy to use while hanging off something I carried each day. Have a Great trip!
If you have small children.......Long Lines Survival Kit
When the kiddies start getting antsy, break out something from the kit!
Include: bubbles, disney stickers, small toys
I think they may have stopped making the dishwashing cloths because they are not "green." As of a few weeks ago you could still buy them in large quantities on E-Bay.
I am a habitual tooth brush forgetter. A tooth brush is a necessity in my book.
This is probably the only reason I'm glad we drive to Disney - I hate Driving (DH hates flying so we drive), but it sure does make it easy to take the extra stuff. Especially since we go for over 2 weeks.
I buy 4 brand new toothbrushes early in the planning stages and throw in my tolietry bag, along with a new tube of toothpaste. I don't touch these - until we arrive in Florida.
That reminds me - I need to start picking up things here or there now for my trip next summer. I try to buy this kind of stuff and throw in my bag. Less last min stuff to buy. It always costs a fortune at the last min. buying stuff you need. I figure getting some of the basics helps.

so sorry if these have already been suggested,
but I suggest Body Glide and a swim towel (the super fast drying ones that swimmers use) to wipe off stroller or yourself after a quick rainshower or wet ride.
Sharpie for autographs!
Just a bit of info that came across my family recently. My aunt got stuck in IAD because of weather. Her cell phone battery died with all the calls from her to my parents and vice-versa. So a word to the wise, pack your cell phone charger in your carry-on in case something happens and you need to charge your phone.
I would just add that it would be good if that was the NON Drowsy dramamin!
Also, I would take a pair of scissors for the moleskin to cut it. I always cut some pieces and keep a couple in my day bag. That big ole hunk won't do you any good in the park or room if you can't cut it to put on your foot
Premade envelopes for Mousekeeping.
What is this for?
Also, Moleskin?
those are for leaving tips for the housekeeping at the disney hotels
I figured as much! I'm just a little slow!
Great Idea!
not sure if you are still checking this thread but the earplugs are for 2 reasons. 1. many young kids dont find the noise from the fireworks too pleasant and 2. many kids get swimmers ear very easily so ear plugs ward that off.
I'm going to read the whole thread and then add my own ideas, if any.
Great thread!

Dominion (ドミニオン?) is a demon in the series.
In the Christian hierarchy of angels, Dominions are part of the second sphere and are said to watch over nations and regulate the duties of lesser angels. In Moses Maimonides' hierarchy of angels according to Jewish lore, they are Hashmallim, the fourth rank of angels, and are mentioned briefly in the Hebrew version of the Book of Ezekiel.

Shin Megami Tensei III: NocturneEdit
Dominions, like other angels, appear in support of Yosuga. After Chiaki sides with Yosuga, a Dominion on the second floor of Mantra Headquarters will ask the player an alignment-shifting (and possibly rewarding) question. They then appear as regular enemies in the Amala Temple and the ruins of Mifunashiro.
In order to fuse Raphael, the player must fuse a Dominion with Uriel.
Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINEEdit
- "The fourth class of angels, ranked first among the Second Sphere. Their name signifies control and rule.
Dominions are seen as symbols of mercy and are charged with effecting God's rule over the entire earth. They also serve to convey the will of God to lesser angels and see that it is carried out. They are said to receive orders from the Cherubim, angels of wisdom, and faithfully obey them.
The scepters that Dominions always hold in their hands are held to be a symbol representing God's power. In addition to these scepters, they are also sometimes depicted as holding scriptures, swords or scales.
The Second Sphere of angels was created by God to serve as the link between the order of the universe and the world of the angels. Their presence and importance are believed to be much lower than that of other angels."
- —Shin Megami Tensei IMAGINE Compendium
Dominion acts as a field boss during the New Moon phase on Shinagawa field. He can be summoned by killing many of the Inviolable mobs that spawn during this phase. In Club Hourai, it is possible to engage with a Dominion through the Interaction Time System. By reaching the maximum level of friendship with him, a player can obtain a special variant of Dominion.
Shin Megami Tensei: Strange JourneyEdit

Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
For me its time to buy a new graphic card and 2D performance is all that counts for me.
I read the nvidia driver is able to rasterize trapezoids using the GPU, which is a very interesting feature for me. Which GPUs actually support that?
Is it really only supported on G200, or does the newer/cheaper GT218 also accelerate it?
Are there any benchmarks available indicating how well it works?
Thank you in advance, Clemens
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
GT200 and higher support it, which includes GT218 and the MCP79 chipset that's used in Ion. It's also supported on the new Fermi architecture (GF100 and the newly-released GF104).
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
Oh yeah, and I don't know of any published benchmarks anywhere, but when I was testing it, it reduced some cairo-perf-trace results from thousands of seconds to tens of seconds.
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
For the record, the 256 driver release series supports trapezoid acceleration by default, without having to enable the AccelerateTrapezoids NV-Control attribute.
Since I don't know if it's been mentioned anywhere before, it also supports accelerating all types of RENDER gradients.
Gradient acceleration works on all Geforce 8 series products and newer while trapezoid acceleration is only supported by anything higher than GT200 as Aaron pointed out.
If you have any numbers of how that impacts your Java2D back-end or other things, I'd be interested to see a before/after comparison or against other drivers.
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
However I won't compare directly against other drivers. I think AMDs binary driver is _crap_, but they are officially supporting open-source driver development which I after all prefer, so I don't want to do marketing in favour of nvidia.
Thanks a lot, Clemens
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
I'd also like to see comparisons to other drivers - open source or not.
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
After all phoronix does already a lot of benchmarking, and they produce a lot bold headlines and judgements - I don't have the energy to do the same.
- Clemens
Re: Trapezoid-Acceleration on which cards?
Saying that Phoronix does benchmarks is a pretty bold claim already. ;)

PSC Hears Utilities on Storm Outages
BALTIMORE (AP) - The chairman of the Maryland's Public Service Commission is asking utilities how they can avoid weeklong power outages after major storms, but utility officials say they can't tackle the kinds of problems they faced after this summer's derecho storm within 24 hours.
The PSC held a hearing in Baltimore on Thursday, and the panel heard first from Baltimore Gas and Electric.
Kenneth DeFontes, BGE's president and chief executive officer, says it would need to redesign its power system to restore power to hundreds of thousands within 24 hours after a storm of that magnitude.
Five power companies are scheduled to attend. They include the Potomac Electric Power Company, the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, Delmarva Power and Light Company and the Choptank Electric Cooperative.

The word distortion has different meanings depending on who you ask.
For some, they immediately think of "distorting words or phrases" wherein someone takes what you have said and twists it into something else. For others, they picture a distorted image.
A guitarist sees distortion as an effect for applying to their guitar's sound. A sound tech sees distortion as a bad sound reflecting a problem in the audio system.
Reasons For Distortion
Audio distortion occurs because:
—A microphone or sound source, like a computer, is being overloaded with sound. Regarding microphones, the microphone can't handle the volume level which it's detecting and thus distorts the sound that it's sending into the sound system. In the case of other sound sources like a computer, you might push the volume level within the computer software past a point which the computer's hard can handle. Thus, it sends out a distorted sound.
—Loudspeakers are being pushed beyond their limits. Working in live audio production, you might have the occasion of working on equipment not set up to handle loud volumes that your gig requires. Pushing loudspeakers to produce louder sounds than they were meant to produce will lead to a distorted output.
—Faulty equipment. Equipment can fail in a variety of ways. For example, an effects processor could fail and you'd no longer hear any sounds passed through it. However, it could also fail and you'd hear a distorted sound passed out of the processor.
Stopping/Preventing Distortion
Sound Source Distortion
The most common reason for distortion is an input overload like the microphone overload mentioned above. Mic'ing an instrument, or even a vocal, is more than sticking a microphone right up to the sound source. You have to use the right type of microphone for the job.
You also have to set it up in a way that best captures the sound. A distorted sound can be resolved by placing a greater distance between the sound source and the microphone. Or, it could be resolved by switching the type of microphone.
For example, placing a condenser mic up to a kick drum can cause distortion so you could either swap it for a dynamic microphone or, in the case of large-diaphragm condensers (LDC), move them a few feet away from the microphone. I'm not saying the live environment is the right place for an LDC but you do see how the microphone type and location can stop / prevent distortion. (Check out The Six Types of Kick Drum Microphones.)
Distortion from a sound source, like a computer, usually happens when the sound within the source (computer, CD player, etc.) is driven to a higher output level than what the hardware is able to handle. I find this can easily happen with computers because there are two volume settings which can get changed; the operating system's volume control and the volume control of the software used to play the sound.
You can even go one level deeper and look at the volume of an individual track in a multi-track audio program. Start by checking the operating system's volume is at the normal level, then go to the software program and then down into the individual track volume.

Assessing inequalities in preventive care use in Europe
This paper presents new international evidence on the extent of inequalities in breast cancer screening and blood test (cholesterol and blood sugar test) in 13 European Countries using data from the 2009 wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). One important contribution of the paper is the inclusion of preexisting health conditions in the needs standardization procedure with the aim of taking into account utilization due to diagnosis or follow-up reasons. We find evidence of pro-rich inequalities in blood test use in some countries while high inequalities emerge in virtually every country with respect to mammography use. Decomposition analysis reveals that inequalities in mammography use are mostly driven by income while preventive needs distribution is only slightly pro-rich. On the other side, richer individuals appear to be much more likely to do blood tests despite their substantially lower diagnostic needs for that care. Generally, inequalities in mammography use are higher in countries without national breast cancer screening programs or in countries with only regional or less participated programs. Inequalities in blood tests are higher in countries with a high share of out-of-pocket payments and/or non universalistic entitlement to insurance coverage.

"Broken City" delivers decent but derivative detective drama
Have you ever seen "Chinatown?" If you haven't, you should. Right now, if possible. Roman Polanski's classic detective noir is filled with brilliant performances, a twisty plot, authentic period – as well as genre – style and an ending that hits the viewer like a cinderblock to the stomach (that's meant as a good thing). It has a pretty confident spot on my list of all-time favorite movies.
"Broken City," a hard-edged detective drama starring Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe, is pretty much "Chinatown," albeit moved into modern times and across the nation to New York City. I suppose if first-time screenwriter Brian Tucker was going to cheat off someone else's work, it makes sense to choose one of the best movies ever made. It just ensures that "Broken City," even with its overqualified cast, quick pace and political intrigue, won't feel particularly fresh.
Wahlberg plays Billy Taggart, a disgraced former cop trying to get his life back on track running a struggling private detective agency. Despite having to nag his employers for payment, life is edging toward normalcy for Jake Giddes – pardon me, Billy Taggart. That is, until he receives a call from the city's powerful mayor, Nick Hostetler (Crowe), asking Billy to spy on his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones, underutilized but also overacting), who he assumes is having an affair. It's reelection season, and according to Hostetler, the only thing worse than voters thinking he's a bad politician is voters thinking he's a weak husband.
After some quick snooping, Taggart finds out that Mrs. Hostetler is not only having an affair, but she's having it with the campaign manager (Kyle Chandler from "Zero Dark Thirty") for her husband's political rival, Jack Valliant, played by Barry Pepper. He presents his evidence to the mayor, seemingly closing the case, but when the manager ends up dead in the middle of the night, Taggart gets pulled into a web of under-the-table political deals, hidden motives and cold-blooded power plays.
Tucker's screenplay, a one-time member of Hollywood's black list – an annual compiling of Hollywood's best unproduced screenplays – paces itself nicely, immediately dropping the audience into Taggart's highly publicized police drama and putting the character on the hot seat. The later process of digging up the dirt – first on Hostetler's wife, then on Hostetler himself – scatters revelations at a solid rate without sacrificing intrigue or interest.
It's just a shame the end result of Tucker's convoluted maze of motivations and secret ties is so obvious. Even if it wasn't a close cousin to "Chinatown," those uninitiated with Polanski's L.A. noir will probably be able to pick out the bad guy. When the main political rival's name is Valliant and the morally ambiguous mayor's name sounds vaguely like "hostile," it's fairly easy to predict which one we'll end up rooting against by the last act.
"Broken City" tries to give everyone enough dirt to create an interesting moral conflict, but it doesn't lead to much. The movie's big trump card reveal near the end is rather predictable, and Taggart's few character flaws – a shaky relationship with an indie actress (Natalie Martinez) and a spat of alcoholism – are mostly forgotten for the sake of tying up the tangled political mystery.
The story doesn't offer up much new, but "Broken City" thankfully presents it with enough panache and intrigue to rise it above forgettable. Working for the first time without his brother Albert, director Allen Hughes ("Menace II Society" and most recently "The Book of Eli") brings a chilled, slick menace to the proceedings, aided by the techno-industrial score provided by the husband-wife-brother team of Atticus Ross, Claudia Sarne and Leo Ross. Tucker's dialogue also provides a decent amount of sharp, snappy moments that hint at why such an impressively deep cast (whose strong presence is much appreciated) would take on such a formulaic story.
For being so rote, however, "Broken City" never bored me, and I was always interested to see where it went next, even if it was exactly where I expected. Worse things have happened, especially during the sad pathetic cinematic wasteland otherwise known as the January release schedule. If anything, it gets points for reminding me how much I want to watch "Chinatown" now.

Partly shot in Milwaukee, "Pilot Error" investigates the dangers of air travel
Published March 30, 2015
Flying is statistically the safest form of transportation. It's a popular sentiment, one commonly recited to restore confidence in the important industry after tragic disasters like the deadly Germanwings crash last week. For "Pilot Error" writer and film producer Roger Rapoport, however, that statement isn't as accurate as we'd like to think.
Wait to watch Dreamworks' "Home," well, at home
Published March 29, 2015
For a lot of Hollywood, making a kids movie translates out to making essentially a mobile: a simply distracting mix of color and sound. And that's how you get "Home," another manic Sweet Tarts-colored whizbang to be mentally tossed away like an empty popcorn bucket as soon as the film lets out. Yes, the kids will be sated. For anyone older, however, the cue to leave "Home" to go home likely won't come soon enough.
"Jodorowsky's Dune" finds hope and success in a Hollywood failure
Published March 26, 2015
By most definitions, director Alejandro Jodorowsky's attempt to adapt Frank Herbert's "Dune" to the big screen in the mid-'70s was a failure. The filmmaker's furiously inventive and imaginative movie never made it to the big screen, but man ... what a trip it would've been, at least certainly judging by Frank Pavich's hypnotically fascinating documentary "Jodorowsky's Dune," showing tonight at 7 p.m. at the UWM Union Theatre.
"'71": Punishment for its star, pulse-pounding thrills for its audience
Published March 25, 2015
I'm starting to get concerned about Jack O'Connell. First there was "Starred Up," in which he plays a violent prison inmate; then he starred in the two-hour beatdown-palooza that was "Unbroken." And now there's "'71," which doesn't even get five seconds in before it's punching O'Connell in the face and dragging him through mud. If he insists on essentially self-flagellating on screen, though, at least it's in the service of a quite good movie.
50 years of Pink Floyd: Revisiting "The Dark Side" and more with Brit Floyd
Published March 25, 2015
2015 is shaping up to be a world tour of beloved classic rock stars. The Rolling Stones are expected to announce a Milwaukee stop ... at some point. Ringo Starr is heading to the Riverside in October, the same month The Who will celebrate its 50th anniversary at the BMO Harris Bradley Center. Also celebrating 50 years of existence: Pink Floyd, hitting the Riverside stage Thursday and Friday night. Well, kind of - in the form of tribute band Brit Floyd.
"Insurgent" rebels against originality and the audience's intelligence
Published March 23, 2015
If "Divergent" was like "The Hunger Games" took a brick to the head, then "Insurgent" plays like "The Hunger Games" got lost in a brick hail storm. The sequel doubles down on the idiocy, incoherence and creative kleptomania the first film struggled through. Part one made it palatable; part two makes it laughable.
Getting the dirt on the Rep's "Low Down Dirty Blues" with Felicia Fields
Published March 21, 2015
Early on in the 2014-15 season, the Milwaukee Rep staged "The Color Purple." It's a show actress Felicia P. Fields knows very well; after all, her turn as Sofia in the Broadway musical scored her a Tony nomination for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Musical back in 2006. It's another familiar show, however, that brings Fields back to Milwaukee: "Low Down Dirty Blues," a celebration of classic blues at its deepest and dirtiest.
"What We Do in the Shadows" - Meet some bloodsuckers that don't suck
Published March 21, 2015
Vampires have gotten a bad rap over the last decade or so,but while the recent vampire trend has provided some pretty craterous, sell-out lows, it's also spawned a fair amount of impressive highs for the notorious neck-nibblers. For example: "What We Do in the Shadows," a hilarious New Zealand import that gushes goofy laughs like a comedy hemophiliac.
Whisker war: A night at Uptowner's third annual beard contest
Published March 19, 2015
The Uptowner was packed and not just for a late Sunday afternoon. Jock Jams blared from the speakers, and anticipation was in the air. On two TVs at separate ends of the bar, the Wisconsin-Michigan State game was coming down to the wire. But that wasn't the contest the excited and eager crowd was here to see. No, the main event was the Uptowner's third annual beard competition.
Neeson runs out of gas in "Run All Night"
Published March 19, 2015
"Run All Night" has little interest in just simply delivering B-movie thrills; it wants to be taken seriously. It wants to be a drama about men - about fathers and sons, about the family we choose and the family we're stuck with - and sins and regrets. Unfortunately, more just results in less in "Run All Night," with the dour drama and B-movie action combining to make a movie that feels more like "Amble All Night" or perhaps "Dawdle Through Dusk."
