- Ingredients A-Z
- In Season
Ingredients by
We'd defy anyone to say they don't like Italian food! Delia's recipes cover everything from a dazzling array of pasta dishes through to pizza and such classics as Veal Milanese, Beef in Barolo and Chicken Cacciatora, a recipe that's become a firm favourite at Delia Online.
Smoked Fish Risotto
Yes, smoked fish is expensive, but you'll find that a little goes a long way in this luxurious supper dish for two, so go on - why not treat yourself?
Venetian Zabaglione Cake
This is my adaptation of a cake still served in the famous Harry's Bar in Venice. You can eat it sipping a Bellini cocktail or with coffee at any time of day. But for me, lunch in the restaurant with this as a dessert has always been a sublime treat.
Home-made Pesto Sauce
If you want to make pesto in advance - cover it with cling film, making sure it actually touches the surface of the sauce. You can keep it in the fridge for a week.
Spaghetti Bolognese
Delia's Ragu Bolognese sauce is transformed into Spaghetti Bolognese with the addition of tomatoes and basil
Baked Macaroni Pie
Use a portion of Delia's Ragu Bolognese, add macaroni pasta and a white sauce to transform it in to Baked Macaroni Pie
Classic Fresh Tomato Sauce
One of the best pasta sauces of all, and it can be made ahead and re-heated (it even freezes well).
Pappardelle Pie with Wild Mushrooms and Taleggio
This is exquisite and pappardelle which are wide flat ribbons work well but any dried pasta can be used.
Tomato, Mozzarella and Avocado Salad with Herb Vinaigrette
The glorious combination of tomatoes, Mozzarella and avocado are all put together and drizzled with a herb vinaigrette
Gnocchi with Spinach, Pine Nuts & Dolcelatte
If speed is of the essence, I cannot think of a quicker way to feed four veggies more handsomely.

City of Boston 3/15/07
Appeal from the decision of HRD to transfer 33 officers from the BMPD to the Boston Police Department, but did not assent to the transfer of the 27 Appellant officers. The Commission found Appellants have no statutory right under Section 40 to be transferred. A transfer is subject to the approval of HRD, and Appellants did not meet the requirements to be transferred to the Boston Police Department. Appeal dismissedBPPA et al v. City of Boston - Related Superior Court Decision 1/8/08
The Suffolk Superior Court's Decision affirming all of the decisions made by the Civil Service Commission in regards to BPPA et al v. City of Boston.BPSOF v. HRD and City of Boston 1/31/08
Appellants sought an investigation into a 2002 promotional examination established by HRD for the ranks of lieutenant and captain; specifically, whether the scoring of the examinations constituted a fair test of the abilities for the required positions. Being informed that something will not be on an examination and then having it tested is unfair, thus appeal allowed with respect to the Rule 200 issue only and dismissed with respect to the other issues brought forth in the appeal.BPSOF v. HRD and City of Boston Order of Clarification 6/12/08
The Commission's decision on Motion for Reconsideration filed by certain Appellants and clarification of the Commission's decision regarding the case BPSOF v. HRD and City of Boston 1/31/08.BPSOF v. HRD and City of Boston - Related Superior Court Order 7/21/08

The City's determination to terminate a probationary employee was in error. Since the Chief of Police, and not the Mayor (the Appointing Authority), served the termination on the Appellant, the Commission ruled that the Appellant was a tenured employee by operation of law.Brouillard, Jason v. City of Holyoke - Related Appeals Court Decision 8/6/09
Commission decision vacated. Appeals court ruled that the Commission lacked jurisdiction to hear appeal because the Appellant was a probationary employee at the time he filed his appeal with the Commission.Bulger, Christopher v. City of Quincy 5/1/08

The Commission did not have jurisdiction hear this appeal regarding a wrtten and verbal warning. Appeal dismissed.Burke, O'Brien and Walsh v. HRD and City of Fall River 4/17/08
Appellant firefighters alleged that they lost the opportunity to be considered for employment during the life of an eligibility list when HRD failed to issue a required certification to the City one day prior to the expiration date of eligibility list. However, HRD was not required to issue a certification to the City; and moreover, Appellants were not even ranked at the top of the list to be considered. Appeal dismissed.Burns, Scott v. City of Holyoke 11/6/08
Appellant, who received a two day suspension, asserted a Section 42 "procedural" claim contesting the City's failed to afford Appellant a timely hearing, as well as a Section 43 "just cause" claim. Under Section 42 one can appeal a 5 day or less suspension without local hearing; and Appellant, in effect, waived his Section 42 claim when appealed his suspension after receiving notice that he would receive a hearing. Section 42 appeal dismissed. Section 43 appeal scheduled for a full hearing.Byrnes, Vanessa and 9 Others v. Massachusetts Parole Board 9/10/09
The Commission concluded that further investigation of the Board's hiring practices requested by the petitioners is not warranted at this time.Caccamo, Bryan v. Human Resources Division 2/24/11

City of Malden 1/7/10 (Affirmed by Superior Court on 1/7/11) file size 3MB
Choiniere, Brenda v. City of Worcester 3/13/08
Action by the City to reassign Appellant was consistent within her '"intermittent" employee position and consistent with the terms and conditions of applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement. As such, Appellant is not an aggrieved party in accordance with G.L. c. 31, § 41 and the Commission lacked jurisdiction. Appeal dismissed.Cressotti, Ronald v. City of Westfield 12/14/06
Recession of a conditional promotion after failing to obtain a Grade 2 water supply license is appropriate. Appellant was promoted into the position on the condition that he obtains the license within 6 months of his promotion. Four years passed and Appellant was unable to obtain the required license. Appeal dismissed.Cummings, Patrick v. Town of Abington 3/22/12
The Town chose to seek a special certification of individuals who were paramedics. The Appellant is not a paramedic. Thus, he was not on the Certification and there was no bypass. Appeal dismissed.

Appellant appealed the decision by HRD not to grant him two additional training and experience points on his promotional examination for lieutenant under G.L. c. 31 §59. Section 22 allows HRD to designate how applicants are to receive credit for training and experience; and the instructions for the promotional examination at the basis of this appeal clearly indicate that the applicant's experiences is calculated as of the date of the examination and not as the City's requisition. HRD's decision to deny Appellant the 25 –year employment credit was correct. Appeal denied.DeFrancesco, James v. Human Resources Division - Related Superior Court Decision 11/18/09
Delaney, Elizabeth v. Worcester Public Schools 4/5/07
Appellant alleged that she was denied her right to bump a position held by a less senior employee and was forced to take a position that became available due to retirement or resignation of other employees. However, G.L. c. 31 does not bestow the right to bump any less senior employee as the result of this would be to set off a chain reaction of additional bumps of displaced employees. Appellant was never denied any rights under G.L. c. 31. Appeal dismissed.Delaney, Michael v. Human Resources Division 2/24/11
HRD was statutorily required to remove the Appellant's name from the eligible list after two years. Appeal dismissed.Department of Correction: 2011 Review and Selection of Correction Officers 9/8/11
DeSimone, Joseph v. City of Cambridge 6/16/11
Dickinson and Hallisey v. Human Resources Division 4/21/11
HRD erroneously denied the Appellants the opportunity to sit for a promotional examination by misinterpreting Section 59 and an Appeals Court decision. Appeals allowed.Dockery, Armando v. City of Waltham 7/26/07
Appellant contended that the awarding by HRD of two points for veteran status to the Lieutenant of the City's fire department, after the competitive promotional examination enabled the Lieutenant's name to be placed higher on the list, thus, bypassing the Appellant for promotion to the position of Captain. The Commission found Appellant failed to name the correct party in his appeal and that HRD adjusted the certification lists in accordance with applicable Civil Service laws, policies and procedures. Appeal dismissed.Donahue and Dailey v. Town of Weymouth 7/12/07
After the Town decided to eliminate the position of General Foreman, which was held by the Appellants, and replace it with a newly-created title of Crew Chief, for which the Appellants both applied but were not selected for, Appellants appealed. Relief requested by Appellant Dailey, who had since retired fell outside the purview of the Commission. Appeal dismissed. To determine whether the Town may have circumvented the laws as to Appellant's Donahue's appeal, case scheduled for a full hearing.Donahue, John v. Town of Weymouth 9/27/07
Based upon the testimony and exhibits presented at the full hearing, the Commission concluded the position of General Foreman in the Town of Weymouth is not subject to civil service laws, thus Commission has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal. Further, the decision of the Town to abolish the position of General Foreman and replace it with the position of Crew Chief is beyond the scope of Commission's jurisdiction. Appeal dismissed.Donnelly, David v. Cambridge Public Schools 12/04/08
The City's Motion to Dismiss Appellant's appeal was granted as Appellant "permanently and voluntarily" separated himself from his employment when he failed to pursue a leave of absence in compliance with the requirements of G.L. c. 31 §38.Dowd, Thomas v. RMV and Merit Rating Board 11/22/06
Appellant who appealed the decision of the Registry of Motor Vehicles and Merit Rating Board to bypass him for original appointment to the position of EDP Entry Operator II, failed to attend two status conferences as scheduled by the Commission. Accordingly, appeal dismissed for failure to prosecute his own appeal.Doyle, Julie v. Human Resources Division 3/24/11
The Appellant's request for 310 relief was denied as she was not harmed through no fault of her own. She put the wrong address into the online exam registration system at HRD and, thus, did not receive notification of vacancies for police officer in Boston. Appeal dismissed.Dussault, Phillip v. Worcester Public Schools 7/26/12
Egersheim, Gene v. City of Boston 4/22/10
The City complied with the requirements of making a provisional appointment and selected a qualified candidate. Appeal dismissed.Ellis, Brendan v. Town of Ashland and HRD 4/3/08

Chapter 310 relief granted based upon the unique set of facts in this case.Erickson, Craig v. Rockland Fire Department 5/31/12
Erickson, Craig v. Rockland Fire Department 1/24/13
Erickson, Jamie v. Springfield Fire Department 3/20/14
Faggiano, Jones and Cappuccio v. City of Medford 7/3/08
HRD has a longstanding practice of withholding a certification to an appointing authority that has disability retirees medically cleared by the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission to return to duty for the position of Lieutenant in the Medford Fire Department; in order to comply with G.L. c. 31 § 39, in conjunction with G.L. c. 32 §8, requiring that disability retirees who have been medically cleared by PERAC be placed in an available position prior to any appointment from a civil service list. Consequently, Appellants appeal to overturn HRD's decision not to release a promotional certification list for the Lieutenant position when three retirees were awaiting reinstatement from accidental disability retirement is dismissed.Felder et al v. DSS 2/7/08
Appellant alleged that the Department of Social Services violated the basic merit principles of G.L. c. 31 by failing to fill vacancies from active civil service lists, providing infrequent examinations from which lists for appointments could be generated, preventing a number from being considered for promotion and making provisional appointments. After numerous conferences, Appellant, HRD, and DSS reached an agreement to grant Appellant 310 relief, including permanency to provisional DSS employees. The Commission so orders.Fiore, Russell v. Department of State Police 2/20/14
Flaherty, James v. City of Quincy 2/26/09
Appellant sought review of the City of Quincy's reasons for bypassing him for original/promotional appointment to the labor service position of Full Time Special Heavy Motor Equipment Operator. At the full hearing before the Commission, the City of Quincy failed to appear; however, this alone did warrant a grant of Appellant's appeal. Full hearing to be re-scheduled forthwith.Flaherty and McCarthy v. Boston Police Department 1/29/09
The Boston Police Department and HRD violated G.L. c. 31 when they skipped over and refused to process Appellants' names on a certification where both Appellants signed indicating their willingness to be hired off such certification and where neither Appellant had been contacted, processed, removed or bypassed off such certification. Appeals allowed and 310 relief granted ordering the Boston Police Department and HRD to immediately process the Appellants' certification for the position of police officer.Flaherty and McCarthy v. HRD reconsideration 2/26/09 (Under Appeal)
Boston Police Department and HRD requested reconsideration of the Commission's prior decision. The Commission found it overlooked the fact that there were other individuals similar to the Appellants that were not granted the same relief; that given the number of veteran's names that would have appeared higher than the Appellants on certification, Appellant's name would not have been high enough to be considered for appointment; and the prior majority decision went beyond the limited issue of determining whether the BPD had sound and sufficient reasons for seeking an extension of the certification. Appellants' appeals denied and dismissed.Flynn, Michael v. City of Attleboro 5/6/10
Dismissed as untimely.Flynn, John and 8 Others v. Boston Police Department Procedural Order 5/12/11
Foley, Jacqueline v. City of Waltham and HRD 8/28/08
Appellant and the City of Waltham jointly sought to place Appellant at the top of the current eligibility list for the title of Clerk in the City of Waltham. The Commission found that 310 relief could not be granted because Appellant was hired into a non-civil service position through a non-civil service process.Fontaine, Robert v. Human Resources Division 9/8/11
Forgues, Peter v. Department of Correction 12/11/08
Appellant's allegation that the Department of Correction decided to give another individual preference regarding shift selection and days-off selection based upon ranking on the Certification was in error. Neither the Appellant's civil service seniority date nor his ranking on the Certification in question pertained to job picks, transfers, shift selection or days-off selection. Each of these areas is governed by the collective bargaining agreement between the parties. Nothing in the civil service law connects civil service seniority (or an individual's ranking on a Certification) to the allocation of shift selection or days-off selection. Appeal dismissed.Foster, Thomas and 7 Others v. Department of Transitional Assistance 11/4/10
Request for investigation denied. Issued raised in request for investigation have been addressed by Commission through individual decisions.Gagnon, Abel v. City of Chicopee 1/12/12
Galgay, Conor v. Human Resources Division 3/5/09
It was Appellant's own failure to access the requisite website until months after he received the form from HRD which resulted in Appellant failing to appear at a Physical Abilities Test as opposed to any inaction on the part of HRD. Appeal dismissed.Gaynor, Barry and 7 Others v. Boston Fire Department Procedural Order 6/1/11
Gaynor, Barry and Elven Others v. Boston Fire Department 5/3/12
Giacalone, Jr., Anthony v. HRD 8/14/08
Appellant appealed decision by HRD declining to change a Certification of eligible candidates for reserve police officer issued to the City of Gloucester to reflect his claim of veteran's preference approved after the Certification had issued. The Commission recognized that the appointment process had proceeded well beyond the establishment of an eligible list before the Appellant made his claim known to HRD, but the circumstances of the case still justified the Commission to exercise its discretionary power to grant 310 relief so that Appellant is assured at least one future opportunity to be considered for appointment as a police officer which had been denied to be him through no fault of his own. Appeal allowed in part.Gifford, David v. Town of Acushnet 5/15/08
A joint request to correct the Appellant's appointment date which had never properly been recorded due to an administrative error was accepted. Chapter 310 relief granted ordering the Appellant's correct appointment date and civil service seniority date be established accordingly.Gillan, John v. City of Quincy 1/27/11
Based on the unique facts of this case, 310 relief is warranted in the form of a retroactive seniority date for cviil service purposes only.Gillespie, Joseph and 3 Others v. Boston Police Department 4/7/11
BPD had the authority to deem a vacancy as temporary and there was no political or personal bias shown in regard to their decision. Appeal dismissed.Goodman, Kimberly v. Human Resources Division 9/23/10
The Appellant was not aggrieved by HRD's decision to not allow her to re-take an ELPAT which she began and failed the first two portions of the test before stating she was too ill to continue. Appeal dismissed.Grassi, Joseph v. Human Resources Division 9/8/11
Gray, Ronald v. Department of State Police 7/17/08
Appellant has no right to an appeal when he retired almost simultaneously to the issuance of a suspension for sick leave abuse and several other charges related to the operation of his K-9 business. Appellant had the option to remain employed by the Department and contest the suspension, but did not, therefore Appellant was not an aggrieved party in accordance with G.L. c. 31 §41. Appeal dismissed.Grealish, Matthew v. Registry of Motor Vehicles 4/10/08
Appellant, a veteran, contended that the Registry of Motor Vehicles failed to provide him with the statutory preference granted to him under G.L. c. 31, § 26 when they made provisional appointments to the position of Driver License Examiner. It was undisputed however, that the Registry filled the two vacant positions with individuals who were veterans proving compliance with G.L. c. 31, Section 26. Appeal dismissed.Grealish, Matthew v. Registry of Motor Vehicles Decision on Motion for Reconsideration 7/24/08
Upon Motion for Reconsideration the Commission determined based on existing law that the higher preference for disabled veteran provided by G.L. c. 31, Section 26 does not apply to provisional appointments. Original decision affirmed.Guimont, Raymond v. City of New Bedford 2/18/10 file size 1MB
The Appellant's reinstatment rights were not violated. Appeal dismissed.Hamm, Brendan v. Boston Police Department 11/13/08
Appellant's motion to seal his record and enjoin HRD and the Boston Police Department from disclosing certain documents was denied. Appellant failed to establish a sufficient reason to make an exception to the Commission's long-standing policy to treat any part of the record of an appeal as open to the public.Harrop, Margaret v. Fall River School Committee 01/08/09
The position of Assistant Cook Manager should be treated as a labor service title position as opposed to an official service position. Accordingly, the Fall River School Committee was fully justified to bypass Appellant for an individual that has a more senior labor service registration and seniority date. Appeal dismissed.Harvey, Jessie v. City of Attleboro and HRD 2/21/13
Hay and Simone v. Methuen Public Schools 2/11/10
The Appellants were reassigned, not transferred. Thus, the Commission has no jurisdiction to hear these appeals. Dismissed.Hayes, Edward v. City of Lawrence 7/1/10
The Appellant has shown that he should have a civil service seniority date back to the day he began peforming the duties of a full-time police officer. Appeal allowed.Healy, Francis v. City of Malden 3/8/12
Hernandez, Berta v. Boston Public Schools 4/22/10
The Appellant was never a civil service employee. Thus, she can not appeal her termination to the Civil Service Commission. Appeal dismissed.Hester, Lawrence v. City of Lawrence 9/27/07 (Upheld by Superior Court on 8/6/090

My ultimate challah
By Tali Simon | April 22, 2012
This recipe and story originally appeared in the April 16, 2012 edition of "From Tali's Kitchen," my biweekly cooking column in Binah magazine.
I was hot on the trail of the perfect challah.
I knew what it should taste like: soft without being doughy, substantial without being too heavy, golden with the warmth of whole wheat.
And I knew what it should look like: pretty strands braided with ease, baked to perfection, decorated with sesame seeds or poppy seeds or even whole oat flakes…
So I knew what I wanted. I just didn't have the vaguest idea of how to get there.
I was 17 when I promised myself that I would bake challahs for my future family as often as possible.
I was a senior in high school, and my classmates and I had begun the much-awaited Jewish Life Cycle course that fall. We were excited about the class because it meant we'd get to talk (and learn) about dating. Ironically, I can't recall a thing our principal covered in the dating unit (I'm sorry, Mrs. Jacoby!).
All I remember is the challah workshop.
That was the first time I had heard of the concept of davening while you knead challah dough. Davening that your kids' carpools arrive on time, davening that your teenagers hear their alarm clocks, davening that you and your husband see the good in each other. Although it may be more common to daven for "the biggies" (good health, shidduchim, and parnassah), no request is too small.
My challah doughs have had all sorts of tefillot kneaded into them: Requests that my husband get a tremp home without too long of a wait, that our foray into Shabbos hosting goes well, that filling out U.S. tax forms from abroad goes smoothly.
The printed seder hafrashat challah sheet that I received after that twelfth-grade challah workshop sat on my bookshelf in Maryland for a few years, then came with me on aliyah. Today, it's kept next to my cookbook collection in the kitchen, where after seven years, it's finally being put to use.
I don't come from a baking family. So not only had I never made challah before I got married, I had also never watched anyone else make challah.
There would have to be a learning curve. And I was prepared to learn.
In the first 15 months of our marriage, we sampled about that many challah recipes. I tried (you ready for this?) water challahs and egg challahs, I used whole eggs, just yolks, and just whites. I made doughs that were 100% whole wheat, two-thirds whole wheat, and a scant 25% whole wheat. I baked challahs that called for white sugar, dark brown sugar, light brown sugar, honey, and applesauce. I added vanilla extract, cinnamon, chocolate chips, maple syrup, and craisins (no, not all at the same time). I made recipes with hot water, warm water, and water from the faucet. I braided before and after letting the dough rise. I let the dough rise once, twice, and even three times, sometimes on the counter, sometimes in the oven, and sometimes directly under our heating unit.
There were lots of nice challahs along the way. But somehow, there was always something missing. Either it tasted great but the dough was a nightmare to work with, or the dough came together beautifully, but the taste was only so-so.
I should mention that for about the first year, our challahs were a joint effort. I only dealt with the actual dough –- once it had risen, my husband took over.
Happily, he proved himself quite adept at challah braids with three, four, five, and six strands. As a newlywed, I was often overwhelmed just by making Shabbos for the two of us, so I was grateful to him for taking on that portion of the project.
Eventually, all the trial and error, all the experimenting, and all the advice-seeking yielded my ultimate challah.
This recipe is based on the one my cousin Aviva uses, and it fits my criteria about as well as I could hope. When she gave me her recipe, she warned that it never comes out exactly the same way –- and it's true.
It might be the weather, it might be the brands you're using, it might even be your mood at the time. All I can tell you is that it's delicious, even if not completely predictable.
This period right after Pesach is perfect for filling your freezer with a new batch of homemade challahs. Double or triple the recipe, and you'll be all set for weeks at a time. For me, the ideal Shabbos meal always begins with homemade challah.
Watch your guests' eyes as the challah cover is lifted, and you'll see that eagerness, the happy anticipation of a delicious meal to come. (I see it every time. Love it.)
Because when a Shabbos seuda starts with a golden homemade challah, you just know that everything else will fall into place.
Note: You might have seen me talking here about finding the perfect challah. That one was good, too — but I like this one even more.
Ingredients: Directions 1. Combine salt, flours, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Add water and knead until a dough begins to form. Depending on the temperature and humidity, you may need more water. Add just a bit at a time so the dough doesn't become too wet. 2. Use the oil to coat your hands, then pour about half around the edges of the bowl. Work it into the dough, then pour the remaining oil around the edges and work that into the dough, too. Knead for another couple of minutes. 3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a clean kitchen towel. Let it rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours. (If it's cold inside, you can leave the bowl in a warm oven – around 150 F/65 C.) 4. Knead again briefly, then spray your work surface with oil. Divide the dough in four and form six dough ropes (for a six-strand challah) from each fourth. Braid. 5. Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C. 6. Place braided challahs on parchment paper-lined baking sheets and cover with kitchen towels. Let rise 20 minutes. 7. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and bake 30-35 minutes or until golden brown.
Yield: 4 medium challahs

You've perfected it! congrats!!
Made this challah recipe with the kids. Can't wait to taste this yummy challah. The whole house smells super yummy. Love the fact that it's a water challah so if the kids eat some dough (and they do) it's cool.
Don't know what I did wrong! I make challah all the time (never made without eggs) and tried this – but the dough didn't rise! And I guess because it didn't rise it only yielded two challahs (and one tiny roll, which I made for my husband to taste, and he said it was very good). But I'm still confused. Any advice?
I tried it again, and since the, this is my favorite challah recipe! It's a hit every time . Thanks!
When I decided it was time to try a new challah recipe, the first place I decided to look was here since I knew you'd already have done all the work for me of trying different methods to get the yummiest challah! I wasn't sure I'd love the consistency without the eggs (even though I've made water challah before) but this challah is a WINNER!!!!!!! Seriously, just try it. I didn't do the oil the correct way so my loaves were a little small but still DELICIOUS!!! My husband also loved it – what's great is it has a perfect taste + texture. Thanks so much Tali! I'm going to make my second batch now….
Hi – just discovered your website recently – have already made so many recipes they're all great! thanks so much! Just wondering what should the texture of the dough be after you add the water? With just 1 1/2 cups of water my dough is still very dry and flaky, not really a dough texture yet. Should I add more water or not yet since I'm still going to add the oil and that will help it become more doughy?
Hi Tali,
A few questions for you:
Do you take Challa with a Bracha with this recipe? If so, how much?
How do you perfect the crispy, crusty exterior?
Also, do you punch down the dough a couple of times in the 2-3 hour rising time?
Also, you mentioned if it's cold inside that you may keep it in the oven on the lowest- you do this with a towel over the Challa!?
Hi Tali,
Is this recipe for fresh or dry yeast?

2013 Healthy Lunchtime Challenge Cookbook is free to download
The 54 winning recipes developed by the kids who will be attending the Kids' State Dinner are ready to download.
Mon, Jul 08, 2013 at 02:18 PM
Last week I posted a video that showed what it takes to make it to the Kids' State Dinner in Washington, D.C., with Michelle Obama. Tomorrow, 54 kids who developed recipes based on MyPlate guidelines, will invade the White House for a lunch with the first lady and others dedicated to helping kids eat healthy.
All of the winning recipes have been released as a downloadable cookbook in .pdf format. Epicurious (which sponsored the contest) has released The 2013 Healthy Lunchtime Challenge Cookbook. Kids have developed recipes that include bell peppers stuffed with quinoa, made salads with veggies and barley, hidden vegetables in lasagna and more. There isn't a hot dog, chicken nugget, or traditional slice of pizza to be had.
Large, colorful photos accompany each recipe so kids can see exactly what the finished product will look like. This would be a great resource to download and let kids pick a dish or two that they'd like to make with you.

Fat is having a heyday.
For decades, the standard recommendation within the nutrition community has been to avoid fat like the plague. As the U.S. developed an obesity epidemic, their rationale to cut fat and sidestep calories, while still getting calcium and protein, seemed logical.
According to recent research, though, the fat-bashing health and dietary experts behind these recommendations may have been wrong.
Published in the European Journal of Nutrition, a review of the existing research on dairy fat came to two major conclusions:

The signs of heat stress in dry cows are less obvious when there is no production to monitor. In the March Hoard's Dairyman webinar, Geoff Dahl, University of Florida, presented, "Help your dry cows avoid heat stress." Dahl has conducted numerous studies in the southeast heat and looks specifically at the dry period.
His research studied two different groups – those that were cooled during the dry period and those that were not. The only variable in his research was the dry period, as cows were managed under the exact same circumstances for their entire lives. Read more

Our nation's farmers are faced with the continuous challenge of doing more with less. The world population is climbing; meanwhile, the number of acres devoted to farming in the United States is shrinking.
Total land for farming in 2014 was at 913 million acres, down 1.03 million acres from the year before, according to recently released numbers from USDA. The number of farms in the United States was estimated at 2.08 million, down 18,000. The only number to go in the opposite direction was average farm size, which moved up 3 acres to reach 438 acres in 2014.
Five years ago there were 2.17 million farms on 917.5 million acres, averaging 423 acres per farm. Read more

I attended the 124th Wisconsin Holstein Association Convention on February 21 in Hudson, Wis. Before the annual business meeting, a panel discussion titled "Marketing Embryos in a Global Setting" took place, starring Steve Berland of GenElite and Hendrik Albada of Holstein Plaza. The moderator of the discussion was none other than Hoard's Dairyman Managing Editor Corey Geiger. As someone who is still acquiring knowledge about the increasingly multidimensional dairy industry, I didn't quite know what to expect from the following exchange of thoughts and ideas on how to market embryos internationally. However, I was pleasantly surprised by how enlightening and informative the discussion truly was. Read more

Genomics technology has taken the dairy breeding world by storm, giving milk producers tools to make dramatic improvement in their herds faster than ever possible.
Three early and aggressive adopters shared their results at the 12th Western Dairy Management Conference this week in Reno, Nev. Between them they may do more monthly genomic testing than any other three dairies in the U.S. They also had simple, basic tips for other producers who want to get started with the technology.

The ultimate goal for most students is to graduate from college employed. After all, the pursuit of higher education will leave many of them swimming in debt. This time of year becomes crunch time. Job offers are made, contracts are signed and students prepare for life postgraduation.
According to USA Today, students in the Class of 2015 who pursued an agricultural or natural resources degree and subsequent occupation will be among the highest paid graduates in the nation.
As of 2011, nearly one out of every three people over the age of 25 held a bachelor's degree, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Furthermore, a bachelor's degree holder typically earns $2.4 million over their lifetime. Read more

Breakfast sets the table for the day's activities. Starting the day with a meal is the fuel that helps us stay active. Studies have shown that improved nutrition, which includes breakfast, and more physical activity improve students' academic performance, attentiveness and behavior. Feed the body . . . Feed the mind.
During National School Breakfast Week, March 2 to 5, the Midwest Dairy Council, Fuel Up to Play 60 and additional nutrition organizations are working together to educate young people and school leaders about the value of breakfast. They have an uphill battle as 60 percent of students do not eat breakfast daily. No Kid Hungry's annual "Hunger in Our Schools" report identified that 76 percent of educators say students come to school hungry. Read more
In our animal care toolbox, vaccines and antibiotics are powerful instruments. These products can really work wonders in preventing and treating many diseases — if used properly.
Much of their success can be linked to dosage and duration of treatment, but capturing the full benefit of these animal health products begins with storage and handling. University of Wisconsin Extension Agriculture Agent Sandy Stuttgen, D.V.M., offers some guidelines to managing antibiotics and vaccines.
Storage Stuttgen recommends producers store products in their original box to keep bottles clean and labels attached. Keep all written instructions, including the box, label and insert, with the product. Read more

When I was 12, my family had an experience that significantly altered our operation. At 11 p.m. in the middle of wheat harvest, our hay barn caught fire. Because of the layout of our barns, the flames quickly spread from the hay barn to the adjacent loafing shed, and within a few minutes was threatening our milking parlor and home. My father and older brother jumped into action to try to free the cows while my mother phoned 911. Read more
"Get out while the getting is good" saw 1,631 U.S. dairies leave the industry in 2014.
According to data released earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), that was the fewest farms to exit the industry since licensed dairy numbers began being tracked in 1992. Even so, it was still the 22nd yearly decline in a row.
It is a trend that shows no sign of ending nor, frankly, does it have any reason to.
While the numeric drop was the smallest ever, the 3.5 percentage dip was in line with figures seen since 2008. In fact, 3.5 percent was the average loss from 2008 to 2011, when milk producers struggled to recover from the industry's historic financial collapse in 2008-09. Read more

AU elects new head
Posted Monday, January 28 2013 at 02:00
In Summary
Ethiopia's Hailemariam Desalegn takes over from Benin's Thomas Boni Yayi as Mali conflict dominates talks in Addis Ababa.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn is the new African Union chairperson, taking over from Mr Thomas Boni Yayi, the Benin leader.
Mr Desalegn, elected yesterday in the capital Addis Ababa, called for peaceful solutions to the conflict in Mali.
Mr Boni Yayi on his part, told African leaders that their response to the conflict in Mali had been too slow, and thanked France for taking the lead in its military intervention in the country.
He told leaders at the opening of the 54-member AU summit that the body's response had taken too long, and that France's action was something "we should have done a long time ago to defend a member country".
The conflict in Mali, including the scaling-up of African troops to support the weak Malian army battling Islamist militants, dominated the opening of the two-day summit, although flashpoints elsewhere on the continent were also a concern.
"Much still needs to be done to resolve ongoing, renewed, and new conflict situations in a number of countries," AU Commission chief Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said in her opening speech.
Unrest in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, tensions between former civil war foes Sudan and newly independent South Sudan, and efforts to build peace in chronically unstable Somalia, are also being discussed in the talks.
United Nations leader Ban Ki-moon told the summit he was "determined to do everything to help the people of Mali", but also urged the government to ensure "an inclusive political process" and the "full restoration of the constitutional order".

Thanx to all members who participated in the meaning of the quote comp. as i said there will b a surprise 4 the best 1 n th@ is this band which the member can put in their sig 4 2 weeks
Drum Rolls pls
Winner this week is a silent member off the DM Sect goes by the name of doyelpakhi
the winning meanin as follows...
...Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results...- Anon
this is really a beautiful qoute, indeed.
its speaks abt the triumph of man'sdetermination, courage and will powerover his destiny.
in our life, we dnt know what circumstance waits for us inthe next minute. its not in our hand. we may want something , but end up getting the reverse. but we definitely have control over ourselves- if a situation is averse, it does not mean we have to surrender to it. instead we have to try and make it better.we cant loose hope or faith in ourselves. for centuries the grt men have proved that a human being can make his own destiny as those grts made marks in the world., facing struggle in every step of their life.
yes, there r certain things whichr inevitable.like death of ou near ones. there r moments when we loose our most precious things, moments, personsof our life. does that mean we should stop living? shall we stop enjoying the most precious thing that we r blessed to have- life itself??
situations can be against us, but we can make or brk our lives by the way we look at life. a beggar , onthe street can have more peace ofmind than the billionare ! the beggarmight has to face poverty, buthe canfind the little joys in the company of his near ones and find joy with the world he is seeing evryday,he can hope for the better future and eventuallycan work onit. but the billionare can remain unhappy as he will make tensions for the future and forgets to look the brighter, lighter side of his life.
happiness is all about our state of mind ,on how we look at life.
particpate in the next quote which will b posted shortly n who knows mayb u could b hounored 4 ur wise meanings of a simple quote

Convention center dining
- 5 Comments
- Follow
Am heading to town next weekend. Looking for good restaurants walking distance from convention center, especially good mexican food. Originally from Denver and miss the good mexican food we enjoyed out west. Price no object and would love a good view as well.
I'm not sure about mexican food, but Cowboy Star and Cafe Chloe are within walking distance (albeit a little further of a walk) and are board favorites.
To get good mexican food, you'll probably have to catch a cab somewhere... I'm sure Dining Diva can give you to scoop.
Which hotel are you staying at? That might help a little...
Cafe Chloe
721 9th Ave, San Diego, CA 921010 -
Downtown/the Gaslamp is not noted for Mexican restaurants, but I would look at La Puerta and El Vitral for fun places, with decent food, Candelas is upscale, I like their Coronado location better. Average places with good bars are Fred's Mexican Restaurant and Rockin' Baja Lobster.
Roy's in the Marriott Marquis will have good views and really good food as well. Top of the Market would be a long walk, but it is a good seafood restaurant or you could jump on the ferry to Coronado from the convention center and eat at Candelas Coronado on the water or Il Fornaio for passable Italian. For great Italian in the Gaslamp there is BICE - San Diego.
You could also ride the trolley two stops into Little Italy and there are several good Italian restaurants in there and a good Argentine steakhouse, Puerto la Boca.

Depends on what kind of Mexican food you want. There's a spot downtown called Candela's, which is high end gourmet Mexican cuisine - not tacos/burritos, but more like fine dining.
If what you're after is the aforementioned taco/burrito thing, Valentine's is a decent taco shop down there, but definitely nothing fancy.
0 -
Great suggestions - we definitely can take a cab as well, so anyplace somewhat near. What would be other good places that aren't Mexican -we have 2 nights. Thanks!
re: atlantachowhound
If you're only in town for 2 nights and will be only in the downtown area, don't even consider Mexican.
Cafe Chloe is reliable, very good and usually packed. Cowboy Star does a great job on steaks. Top of the Market is a pretty good choice for fish, just don't eat downstairs unless it's at the oyster bar. If money is no object consider the Grant Grill in the U.S. Grant Hotel.
You can hop a trolley to Little Italy and cruise the streets until you find something that suits your tastes.
Enjoy your stay, we're going to have great weather this weekend.

i've only ever been to wisp VERY early in the season so they never have much open when i was there. the 2 or so trails they did have were fun. i've love to go when they are 100% cause a lot of people say its pretty decent.
it was flaking off and on here yesterday, sounds like a pretty good chance of snow for wednesday! Jenn, also check out 7springs. their tickets are $25 right now and they should have a ton more stuff open now than they did this past weekend. from my place wisp and springs take about the same amount of drive time. i'll be heading to NYC this weekend so no riding for me.

Who is supposed to have $7 lift on sunday? And springs will have a bunch more open by the weekend. If you are planning to go up let me know what day cause I have a couple of days to use before the year is up so I might be able to get off.

With a second three-day weekend coming up, you've probably got some real free time. If you're not on the road, might we recommend developing some new cooking chops? These relatively pain-free projects and how-tos are yours for the learning.
Season a frying pan and keep it stick-free
The cast-iron skillet is a serious kitchen workhorse, being heavy enough to handle high heat, oven transfers and the most, shall we say, rich of foods. Give it the proper treatment it needs by properly seasoning it, thereby giving it a non-stick quality that'll last almost as long as you remember not to soak it in soap. Got a regular ol' skillet, but still want to ease your clean up? Learn in the video above how to hit the sweet spot of skillet heat, and read up on Houseboat Eats' guide to properly heating your pan.
Make and toss pizza dough
Michael Kalanty, a chef from the California Culinary Academy, shows us how to spread pizza dough into a circle the traditional — and much more fun — method in the video above. There's a bit of science to it, but you can pick it up through your not-too-expensive mistakes and experience. Not much on making your own dough? TastingTable gets Jim Lahey, the man behind the no-knead bread (cited elsewhere here), to reveal his recipe for no-knead pizza dough, which Lahey himself says is easy — except for the tossing part. (Original post: dough tossing).
Properly Use a Sharp Knife and Keep it Sharp
Ask nearly any chef what their most essential kitchen tool is, and chances are the answer comes back to a chef's knife. Some might go the straighter-edged santoku route, but a big, firm-in-the-hand knife gets the real work done. Chef Roger Mooking breaks down some basic knifework on YouTube, and Popular Mechanics has a great primer on sharpening your own knives. Finding yourself suddenly in need of a great blade? Gizmodo has a guide to properly buying and maintaining good knives. (Original post: seriously sharp knife).
Learn basic kitchen ratios
It's feeling like a lazy Sunday morning, so you want pancakes. There's a recipe on the box, but it doesn't make the right amount. Should you go Google-ing for just the right recipe? No! Michael Ruhlman, who's contributed some food science both here and at Gizmodo, has explained how, using a good kitchen scale and some ratio knowledge, it's all too easy to knock out nearly any kind of baked good:
2 parts flour and liquid, 1 part egg and butter. That will give you a perfect muffin or, baked in a loaf pan, a quickbread. Now, you also need to have a little technique and common sense. A teaspoon of baking powder for every 5 ounces (cup) of flour is needed for leavening, a pinch of salt for flavor, but that's it. If you want a lemon-lime cake, add lemon and lime juice and zest; vanilla is always good, or add lemon and popyseeds, add cranberry and orange, blueberries, bananas … If you season the batter with a little sugar and vanilla and pour it on a griddle, you have perfect pancakes.
If you're looking to learn more about savoury cooking, the Los Angeles Times has a similarly world-widening look at the chemistry of marinades and vinaigrettes.
No-knead, easy-peasy bread, in all its flavours
What can we say about the revelation of bread that doesn't require painful lessons in organic yeast chemistry that hasn't already been said? As Gina put it, and Apartment 2404 detailed, "All you need is flour, yeast, salt, cornmeal and about 24 hours." Print out the no-knead recipe and keep it handy, and check out the faster and whole wheat versions while you're discovering the patisserie in your kitchen.
Cook your eggs just right
What would you like to learn to cook, bake, or cut? Tell us about it in the comments.

COLUMBIA — History books can't tell the story of Missouri in the same way that the paintings, drawings and lithographs of native son Thomas Hart Benton show the state in the 1930s.
Looking at Benton's works is "a way of getting a glimpse of Missouri history from the lens of experience," said Kristin Schwain, associate professor of American art at MU. His work also gives viewers a glimpse of the art that people appreciated in the 1930s.
"His work was so popular — it was how Missourians saw themselves and how they wanted to be seen," Schwain said.
Through early August, an exhibition of Benton's work is on display at the State Historical Society of Missouri at MU.
"Benton is a key figure in Missouri's culture, artistically and politically," Schwain said.
Many of Benton's works were inspired by the Missouri landscape and people. "Missouri Farmyard," "Flood," "Investigation" and "A Drink of Water" — all on display at the exhibition — are lithographs for which Benton used the Missouri landscape and that of neighboring states such as Illinois and Arkansas.
To create a lithograph, Benton drew directly onto a lithography stone with a crayon-like tool. The image was then fixed with gum arabic, allowing ink to be spread onto the stone and put into a press for reproduction.
References to the Great Depression and the Great Flood of 1937 are evident in lithographs such as "Investigation," in which a pair of women look at the damage to their homes from flooding, and "Prodigal Son." The latter lithograph "is indicative of the destruction people experienced" in the Depression, said Emily Allred, the Benton show's curator. It shows a young man coming home to a dilapidated house; the fatted calf from the biblical parable of the prodigal son is a skeleton.
Not only did Benton use events to shape his work, he shared his art with the people. "The way that he worked with the lithograph made art accessible to the middle class," Allred said. Lithographs could be easily reproduced and thus were more affordable than the original pieces.
Because of his portrayal of the social climate, Benton was a storyteller for his time. He was commissioned by The Kansas City Star to cover the Great Flood of 1937 through lithographs.
"His art is supposed to be about human life and about the human condition," Schwain said. "He really does think about history as a people's history."
Benton's subjects also included farm workers, African-Americans and urban factory workers. While some thought his work to be "nostalgic and comforting, he was criticized for that same quality," Allred said.
Benton wasn't quiet about his endeavors, according to Leo Mazow, curator of American art at Pennsylvania State University. Benton participated in interviews, appeared on radio programs and wrote his autobiography, "An American in Art: A Professional and Technical Autobiography."
Benton was rarely far from controversy. "He made his fair share of politically incorrect comments," Mazow said.
In 1935, Benton was commissioned to paint murals in the Missouri Capitol in Jefferson City, and some of the studies he did for them are in the historical society exhibition. The topic of Missouri history was chosen for the murals because "they thought it wouldn't be controversial," Allred said. "That wasn't true."
Benton wasn't shy: He portrayed raw images such as Ku Klux Klan lynchings. "He didn't allow viewers to hide from the past or to sugarcoat it, but instead to look at history in all of its manifestations: good, bad, horrific, weak," Schwain said.
"These are tales of murders, adultery and dirty diapers," Mazow said. "He isn't afraid to put the dirty diapers in the face of the public."

My apologies @allemoney because that article isn't the good one... The good one is here: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-21-the-big-interview-sonys-shuhei-yoshida-on-ps4
Charging to play online and charging to play used games are completely different. Not to mention, 360 got a year's head start and had already built a devoted online fanbase with the first Xbox. Tapatalking from my bed. Ya mutha says hi.
Thanks for it, bro. I got the answer on the internet requirement. He says the system should be able to function without an internet connection. he still danced around the used game thing i feel. requiring a fee or authentication of some sort to play a used game isnt technically blocking them. not requiring the internet to function makes that a bit difficult but that doesnt make it impossible. it just might mean that they will implement it a different way.
You do realise Micrsoft Azure is has been around for a long time right? and Azure is different than most cloud service and has "computing" as in processing and performance. I'm not bashing Sony's Gaikai and think it's an awesome feature sony is bringing to the table. MS using Azure for gaming is only a tiny tiny part that "uses" azure and not "is" and don't be surprised if Gaikai uses Microsofts Azure... a lot of companies use Azure for their cloud services, even competition... Apple uses Azure for Icloud. these companies work together a lot and do not hate each other.
well you have pointed out how they could lose money, but not why they have to. of course psn costs money and they need to get that from somewhere but why again must it come from an online charge? you may not see the same as me but i think playstation plus does "prove" that you can still offer a quality service without touching my ability to game online. discounts and freebies and 1 hour long game trials and all the other goodies it offers, some that i'm sure xbox live offers too, make it a great service worth paying for already. i'm sure it will be adjusted accordingly for the Playstation 4 but No, i still am not sold on why absolutely have to charge for the single ability to game online. the other stuff i mentioned? yeah charge me all day for that, those are other ways to bring the money in. i am interested to see the facts behind how helpful playstation plus has been for Sony. I haven't seen many complaints from the subscribers. thats it though, just my opinion. i'm not gonna shove it down anyone's throat. I'm not a soldier in the console war nonesence. it's their job to sell these things not mine. i'll buy whatever i like the most.
Well if they have a service like PS+ on PS4 with next gen games - they'll pretty much have my money. Don't see it happening, but it would be a deal breaker.
I find it interesting that Nvidia lost out on providing the chips for the consoles but is obviously focusing on using their tech in the cloud for probably more than just Sony!! Seems they found a way to stay in the arms race didn't they!! As for computing in the cloud they talk about that in the keynote so its safe to say both consoles infrastructures will allow that to work.
I can't believe everyone has forgotten this already! http://www.vg247.com/2013/01/03/son...ch-to-suppress-second-hand-game-sales-report/ Just saying "DEAL WITH IT"!
I could also see them getting less 3rd party support if the didnt implement some kind of system like MS. Not blocking used games in some form would be a big incentive for developers to avoid the PS4 since they would be guaranteed to lose money due to used game sales.
Lol at your 3-4 month old sources. None of which say anything about a "fee" on used games and/or blocks borrowed games. Nice try though.
I swear it's like every topic you post in that I've read, it's so stupid that blood shoots out of my nose. wtf
You are such an asshole man. Here's a nice, friendly response to that... Get the sand out of your vagina and quit complaining about it. Wait until E3 and then you can complain until you cannot complain anymore. Which for you is probably impossible. My god, people like you make me want to give up on humanity.
Just try and ignore him if you can, he's one of the most arrogant pricks I've seen on here. Sony fanboys like him make it hard for me to respect the PlayStation community.
Amen to that. It's not even the fact that he's an annoying prick. It's the fact that he literally spends all of his time on the Xbox forums trolling. Which, like you said, is why the PlayStation community has a terrible reputation in terms of community backlash *cough* trolling *cough*, but Pickle here doesn't seem to understand that.
Both Microsoft and Playstation will be grabbing as much $ as they can from each and every one of us. The game companys will charge higher prices. The oil companys will charge us more. Food prices are not going to go down. Every one wants more money even you guys. Thats how it is and thats how it has always been. Get ready to pay.
There are gonna be some mighty depressed Xbox fanboys when Sony doesn't block used games and continues to offer online play for free.
It'll be interesting what approach they take....I never really thought of it until now...but maybe this is why EA removed online pass for games. Remember that article? Maybe EA knew of upcoming 'used game fee' and thought a used game fee AND their online pass would be redudant, maybe the publishers will get a cut of the 'used game fee' or as i would call it....a license to play the game.
This. This is EXACTLY why they did it. It is absolutely redundant. EA got in bed with Microsoft, and now look whats happening.
True. But lets say you do that, try playing a modern game on any system that does not require an update or patch these days. And what about OS updates?
Hahahah You know what, I can actually believe this. Here's an accurate reaction from a SDF Soljagirl or
I bought my 360 when both were out, so did the majority of 360 gamers. The used games issue is a bit of a tangent, we weren't talking about that. I'd rather wait until we get a full explanation from both Sony and MS on their DRM policy is before judging. I don't personally buy used games, my issue would be a policy that stopped me playing games if I had Internet problems...
Sorry man, I missed this. People only perceive it as a negative because the word 'money' or 'fee' is mentioned. I see it as a positive, maybe a method of combating piracy, which I am all for to be honest. If it works, then it could (and don't hold me to this) start a chain of events that could see the prices of games fall. If it doesn't, then back to the drawing board and the chances are they may scrap this 'fee'. The fact that the 'fanboys' are using this as a weapon against those willing to give the XB1 a chance and see what the future holds when the chances are Sony 'MAY' announce the same thing (or do this in the near future for the reason I have stated above) is just... well, silly.
The majority of the Internet has a pretty sour taste over the Xbox One reveal. All of the people I've talked to in person about it seemed underwhelmed at best. There was just a survey on IGN like yesterday that found that like 80% were underwhelmed by the reveal. Most gaming journalists and even developers are sharing negative views. Indie developers are enraged. Obvious all of these people are Sony fanboys. Fuck math and the sales figures for the last generation Sony and Microsoft consolers, even the ones who just owned an Xbox 360 were closeted Sony drones
This topic seems loaded with more Xbox drones than Sony drones. Just the fact that someone doesn't like the used games thing then you have a few people puffing up their chest getting all pissed because no one likes the used games barrier that MS is putting up. in return they seem to point the finger at Sony. This behavior seems pretty odd.
If the PS4 has the same used games policy as the Xbox One.....then i'm finally making the switch to PC gaming. Simple as that.
If we cant rule out the same happening to PS4, then it can possibly happen to PC gaming as well. All it would take is one publisher to set the ball rolling.
Considering that most PC games i've played have an install code already, i would buy a PC based of of performance stats. That'ss what i was meaning
ug Okay I see what you mean, I haven't bought a PC game in years, I assumed used games could be loaned just as easily as console games are now.
Hell no, even reissues of older games have a CD key these days. I remember picking up a GOTY edition of Neverwinter Nights on the PC, it had like four different codes for the main game and the expansions. That was a couple of years ago also.
Well if this is the way of the future I hope publishers and the console makers will at least ease the process a bit. Put limited number of downloads, lets say 5, or create a trial mode which can be shared, something other than just one use and done.
Honestly, the used game thing is fine with me. The problem is there are some gray areas in these policies that are coming out that need to be addressed. Not being able to let a friend borrow a game is beyond lame. Not letting other members of the household play a game without my login is a problem. etc... Deep down we all know that digital distribution / gaming from the cloud is the future. Developers don't want to give the pirates any more code and they want to get rid of used game sales and turn that used sale into a profitable one. For better or worse physical media is going away.
Perhaps a solution to the game lending thing. Perhaps MS may say "Well you can lend a game to a friend if he is on your friends list on XBL but not to someone who isn't. This would encourage more friends to connect and play together"... Just a thought.
that was made before the PS4 conference so I don't see what the point of that was. there is a Patent and you should see some of Microsoft patents that are just as bad if not worse but those revolve more around the camera. regardless, this topic is nothing more "hip hip horaay" finger pointing is the most false sense you can get in a forum. I would really question your defensive stance after calling out other fanboys. SDF/XDF both sides have them and those that say otherwise are not worth discussing anything else with.
Well you could be right. And as for my hatred of Sony as a company (I have reasons, previously stated) and my defence of Microsoft (again, I have reasons, previously stated plus more I haven't). I feel obliged to stand up for them when some un-informed fanboy comes onto what started out as a discussion thread and flames the company without facts facts and knowledge. I find it to be fun to be honest and if articles such as that make a few fanboys weep into their mothers breast milk then so be it. Old saying: "Don't start nothing, won't be nothing"
Dear Xbots. Please stop pretending your delusional arguments as to why the PS4 is supposedly going to be just as horrible, are based on actual facts. Every negative thing about the XO has been confirmed by Microsoft themselves... http://www.screwattack.com/news/son...eature-block-used-games-its-publishers-use-it http://kotaku.com/5985874/ps4-will-not-require-an-always online-connection
Not a bad idea at all. One potential draw back though, I would imagine they would want to implement a 'time limit' that each friend could play a 'game that was lent'. I think Microsoft could implement a system with 2 types of game 'licenses', 'owned' and 'borrowed'. Think of the relationship between owned and borrowed to be a parent-child relationship, as in, for a game to be 'borrowed', it must be 'owned' by someone else (logical and simple enough). Let's say I have purchased the next halo, the game comes with 1 'owned' license and 1 'borrowed' license (just an example, enforces the current gen idea of borrowing a game where we must have disc to play). I then choose someone on my friends list and give them the 'borrowed' license of my game. Now since my friend has a 'borrowed' license, only one of us can play the game at the same time (since that's how it would work in current gen). Thus if we wanted to do matchmaking together from our own xbox's (xbox live), my friend would still have to get his own version of the game instead of just borrowing me. I would still have the 'owned' license for the next halo game, so I would have the power to remove the 'borrowed' license from my friend and give it to another friend when I would want. Also, in-case I would want to play the game but my friend was actively playing the game, the 'owned' license owner would have the power to boot the 'borrowed' license owner out of the game so they can play (since I own the game, and my friend is just borrowing, I still get ultimate say of who gets to play and when). Pretty simple if you ask me. Just my 2 cents...
I can't see why MS would make this mandatory, they might make it optional and adjustable which wouldn't be a bad idea if you have a friend who borrows games for massive amounts of time. You could also make the achievements for the game un-available to the lender, he'd get a message like "You could have won the 'Bend Over and Grease up' (just an example) Achievement... If you owned your own copy" It would solve a lot of problems.
Sony probably will end up blocking used games too, but they still have an edge on Xbox One in my book. We already know it's not forcing a $100+ peripheral device on us or making us be online to even use the device. US sales this holiday season: #1: 3DS #2: Xbox 360 #3: Playstation 3 #4: Playstation 4 #5: Wii U #6: Xbox One #7: Playstation Vita #8: DS #9: Wii #10: PSP I'm willing to bet on it

Peaches & Cream paroles
Paroles de la chanson Peaches & Cream :
lWell there's far too many questions to ask,
To answer all of them tonight.
For I wear, too many masks,
To tell if any of them are wrong or right.
And confusion casts a shadow upon me,
Like a great big cloud in the sky.
And now I pray for rain
Cause it's been so long since I let myself cry
For so long, I've sang this sad ole song.
And it feels like my time is up.
For she came and landed in my arms
And she filled my half empty cup.
Yes she filled my half empty cup,
Now I look up above me,
And I thank that Great Old God in the sky.
For telling me my cup ain't half empty.
Just took my little girl to show my why
There you are.
Right in front of me,
A brand new day,
Sunrise Over Sea ,
No longer,
My cup half empty,
Cause there you are,
You and your mum in front of me.
Your Peaches & Cream to me.
You both are Peaches & Cream to me.
All I know is
All I know and
I love you...
[ Merci à >Peaches d'avoir ajouté ces paroles ]
