5. The Grey Album's Encore (Jay-Z vs. The Beatles)
The one that started it for us. All of Danger Mouse's Grey Album is a masterpiece, this cut is just our personal fave. Record exec's got freaked, but Jay and Paul McCartney both loved it. So do we.
4. 99 Problems vs. Voodoo Child (Jay-Z vs. Jimi Hendrix)
We know, we did "99 Problems" already! But we liked this one crossed with Jimi Hendrix just as much. Please don't make us choose! It doesn't really shift keys, but just goes round and round, hypnotically. Very voodoo.
3. Bittersweet Dirt Off Your Shoulders (Jay-Z vs. The Verve)
Truth time: It's impossible to listen to this song while walking around and NOT feel like a baller. This one from MTV Mashup the perfect victory song. Or perfect for walking to the deli to pick up toilet paper. It's just perfect, period.
2. Here Comes The Girls Girls Girls (Jay-Z Vs. Ernie K. Doe)
Although relatively obscure in the states, Ernie K. Doe's 1970 soul cut "Here Come The Girls" exploded on the British beat scene in 2007 after getting used in a pharmacy commercial. We're not sure who's responsible for this incredible mix with Hova's "Girls Girls Girls", but we owe them a huge debt of gratitude.
1. December 4th, Oh What A Night (Jay-Z vs. Frankie Valli)
Oh what a remix! It's fast, furious and flawless. Frakie Valli should do a duet with Jay for reals! You done good, DJ Topcat
Honorable Mention:
It doesn't make our top 10, but A+ for trying to mix Jay-Z with Lisa Loeb! Keep on riding that '90s chill-wave, SPMashups.

Hard drive reporting failure
I am getting this message for the last few days saying my primary hard drive is reporting failure, and it prompts me to backup. I keep ignoring the error, and everything works fine. The drive is about 3 months old, Seagate 1.5TB SATA drive. I checked the firmware and its not the problematic seagate drives but a newer batch. Should I replace it anyway?
Re: Hard drive reporting failure
This is a SMART message.
SMART is a protocol that stores and reports several parameters for a HDD. When some of those parameters pass a pre-defined limit, you will get those messages, as the drive is judge risky.
Although your drive could continue working for a long while, I would advise to follow the message and at least backup the data you have on it (anyway, it is ALWAYS a good idea to backup data on HDD). You can get software like speedfan to check the SMART parameters.
It could be as simple as a bad SATA cable and too many transmission error or a mounting number of bad sector. Never trusts HDDs to live too long anyway (although 3 months is awfully short). At worst, backup the data, test the drive with the seagate utility and if reported faulty, RMA it.
Re: Hard drive reporting failure
i tried using the seatools for windows, but it crashes with stxcon.exe stopped working error. I will check with speedfan to see the drive's SMART parameters. the drive only has my windows drive, and another partition where 2-3 games are installed. so not a big deal of loss if the drive goes out. About 1.2TB is free
Update: the sector reallocation count has exceeded past threshold. These seems to be a recurring problem with the seagate 1.5TB drives. Probably gonna have to RMA this sucker
Re: Hard drive reporting failure
I have a seagate 1.5TB and it runs without any problem so far, but they have been plagued with problems indeed.
Try to run the software on the boot CD that came with it. It directly boots on that CD and lets you test your seagate/maxtor HDDs. This will be necessary for the RMA.
Re: Hard drive reporting failure
well good news or rather bad news, the drive is now totally dead. getting unmountable boot volume error when windows loads. I tried using an external usb adaptor to see if I can at least open up the partitions, but no go. It shows up in diskmanagment but as empty drives and I cant format, delete volume or anything with it.
Re: Hard drive reporting failure
Its a good thing to know S.M.A.R.T. is actually good for something then, I havn't seen any smart errors pop up in windows yet and one of my older drives exhibited some resetting and shut down mid operation problems and nothing ever poped up.
Time to go after the warentee on that drive.
Re: Hard drive reporting failure
i been running my samsung hard drives for over 7 years how, never turned off with out errors, i always had good luck with them, i end up replacing Maxtors more then anything before seagate took over, but it seems i been replacing seagates alot to. WD is junk. I work for Toshiba, fixing copiers and i go thru HDD like crazy.i cant wait till they have SSD on them ;)

One day after school we went to a monument—I lived in West Virginia.
We think of him as leaning heavily on the monument in monument Valley, and he did.
The core problem here is that the monument does not have anything to say, period.
late 13c., "a sepulchre," from Old French monument "grave, tomb, monument," and directly from Latin monumentum "a monument, memorial structure, statue; votive offering; tomb; memorial record," literally "something that reminds," from monere "to remind, warn" (see monitor (n.)). Sense of "structure or edifice to commemorate a notable person, action, or event" first attested c.1600.

The California Federation of Teachers, AFT, AFL-CIO, officially released an animated cartoon video on Tuesday, December 4, narrated by Ed Asner, that lays out the case for fair taxation. The union video urges Congress to repeal Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans.
CFT President Joshua Pechthalt:
Following the decisive victory of Prop 30 in California, this video promotes a fair tax system to fund America's priorities. The best way to build a better American education system and protect the social safety net is by asking those who can most afford it to pay their fair share in taxes, so that educators will be better positioned to help our students achieve their dreams.
Tax the rich: An animated fairy tale, with animation by award-winning artist Mike Konopacki, was written and directed by yours truly. The eight-minute cartoon shows how we arrived at this moment of poorly funded public services and widening economic inequality. Things go downhill in a happy and prosperous land after the rich decide they don't want to pay taxes anymore. They tell the people that there is no alternative, but the people aren't so sure.
According to Pechthalt:
This video launches the next phase of our campaign to restore fair tax rates on the wealthy, so that we may once more enjoy properly funded public services. Congress should immediately approve the President's plan to preserve lower tax rates for the overwhelming majority of American households, while restoring higher tax rates on those who have benefited most from our society.
The video, which has had more than 60,000 views in just a few days, was posted on YouTube three days before its official launch, and immediately began to draw interest. Not all of it was friendly. Right-wing "push" websites began a campaign focusing on a few seconds depicting a visual metaphor of "trickle down" economics, Fox News ran a distortion-ridden story, and the YouTube site was then flooded with hostile commentary.
The conservative attack media tried to make it seem like this video was meant to be shown to children in the classroom, despite the explicit message on the CFT website that it was an educational tool for citizens engaging in political debate.
Clearly the problem for the right wing is the effectiveness of the cartoon in conveying its main points: that Americans have suffered growing economic inequality as the wealthy have refused to pay appropriate levels of taxes, and the rich need to pay their fair share so that we might fund our public services adequately. And the One Percent and its wholly-owned media subsidiaries will do and say anything to obscure that reality.
Scroll up to watch the video, and then send a message to your congressperson to vote for rescinding Bush's tax cuts on the rich so that the Federal government stays solvent.

Originally written on The Flagrant Fan | Last updated 2/16/13
I took a look yesterday at qualifying starting pitchers using PitchF/X pitch values to find the top ten and bottom ten values using repertoire as criteria. In other words, if you put together the value of all their pitches, which pitcher had the deadliest set of pitches. Kershaw came out on top with Verlander a close second. Nova came in dead last among the 85 qualifiers with Ricky Romero right ahead of him. These findings were not surprising. Today, I want to put that same test to relievers who qualified. There are more qualifiers with relievers and unlike the starters, the results did not always jive with other standard measures of rating pitchers. Okay, here is how it works. I took each qualifying relief pitcher and added up the value PitchF/X assigned for each of the pitches each threw. That gave me a total value of all the pitcher's pitches. For example, Jonny Venters of the Braves had a two-seam fastball value of -0.3 runs below average. His sinker was worth -2.6. His sli...

Charitable effort a bicycle bonanza
Sometimes wishes do come true.
If you don't believe it, just ask Roy Pullam.
In February 2010, the local retired educator came up with a great idea, but even as he announced it he feared that it might fall through and he'd be left with egg on his face.
The longtime North Middle School teacher and all-around child advocate proposed that everyone who owned a bike that was no longer being used donate it to a program that has turned out to be a win-win situation for everyone involved.
As proposed, those bikes that weren't in tiptop shape would be reconditioned by inmates at the Henderson County Detention Center, and the Henderson Salvation Army Corps Community Center would distribute the contributed bikes at no cost to children whose families couldn't afford to buy bicycles for their offspring.
Roy kept his fingers crossed that maybe as many as 50 bikes would find their way to kids who yearned to join their bicycle-owning pals.
He acknowledges he underestimated the public response to his appeal for bikes.
We're delighted to report that as of the end of March this year, a grand total of 530 bicycles have been given and, when needed, made safe by the detention center inmates who wanted to participate in something that benefits youngsters.
"I guess I relearned a lesson on stepping out on faith," Roy said in July, 2010, when 50 bikes already had been repaired and given to Henderson County youths.
"The idea that children will have bikes that they can treasure tickles me beyond belief. I am so proud that the community has answered the call."
And it just keeps on answering that call though publicity has not been all that frequent.
"Blessings just continue to flow," Roy said a couple of weeks ago. "There are people wanting bikes and we just keep trying to fill that need."
The bicycles are quickly spoken for when they're ready to be matched to eager kids.
Part of Roy's motivation for kicking off the program was the need for children to get more exercise. As we've been repeatedly told, the life span of the current generation of youths may not be as long as that of their parents because of obesity and physical inactivity.
Socialization is important too, says Roy, and having a bike to get out and about makes that more likely.
As everyone who knows Roy is aware, he had a loving family in his hometown, Providence, Ky., but they were extremely poor. His father was a disabled former coal miner and his mom was a school janitor. The family shared a three-room house with no phone or TV and certainly no bikes.
It wasn't until Roy was grown that he owned a bicycle.
Please keep those donated bikes coming in, as there are kids waiting for them.
You may take them to the Salvation Army at 1213 Washington Street in Henderson (Ky.). Those who would like to know more about the program are asked to call the agency at (270) 826-4472.
"We're not quitting," Roy said. "We don't know the meaning of quitting...My hope is that the kids will become more motivated, more active, and more inspired...
"The jail, anonymous friends and donors and the Salvation Army have made this happen."
Speaking of kids, a Madison, Wisc., resident with close Henderson ties e-mailed me recently to ask about local women, family and child-serving agencies she might donate to as a way of honoring her beloved 2-year-old great niece here.
"I am more comfortable with this type of gift-giving for holidays and birthdays," she wrote. "To invest in doing some good in the community."
Since the birth of her niece, she already has contributed to the Henderson County Public Library in her niece's name, requesting that the donations be used to purchase books for the children's collection, "and they've been happy to oblige," she said.
After reading her request, the local Emergency Shelter for Women and Children, Child Advocacy Center and Riverview School for special needs children immediately came to mind, and there are other worthy programs as well.
What a great way to do something meaningful.
Though this particular little girl, Allie, is too young to appreciate the notion, she'll one day know that she — blessed with love and plenty — had a role in helping children who aren't as fortunate.
Gleaner reader Larry Gettings wrote the other day to alert us to a scam.
"I have been receiving these letters from overseas groups telling me I have won these prizes of $25,000, $20,000, even one claiming I was guaranteed a portion of 40 million dollars," Larry said.
"But every one asks for a remittance of a $10 processing fee, and if you read the print it allows them access to your bank account to withdraw as much as they want.
"I have received letters from the Netherlands, Australia and Hong Kong. Where they got my name and address is a guess, but somewhere some organization has decided it is more profitable to sell our information to these unknown people in hopes of getting a percentage of the profits."
Consider yourselves warned.

Original Message
The people who mixed pagan designs on synagogue walls and on their tombs along with Jewish themes were not Jews under Rabbinic control. This can be shown in various ways. Besides the lack of reference to these pagan practices in any contemporary Jewish literature of the period, the same lack of reference can be shown in records maintained by our Christian authorities who lived from the second to the sixth centuries. This is an important point to consider because our early Christian authorities were well versed in matters concerning the Jews and their teachings. Because the majority of Christians felt that the Jews and their religion were under a ban from God because of their rejection of Jesus as the Christ, the Christians watched with a hawk's eye any activity by the Jewish authorities which would demonstrate this lapse from God as they viewed it to be.
In this regard, Christian testimony about the Jews and their doctrines becomes an important witness to the faithfulness of the mainline Jewish people in abhorring idolatrous themes and having nothing to do with idolatry or its practices.
In showing this Christian testimony, one must be aware that during the period from the second to the sixth centuries of our era, most Jews and Christians were quite hostile to the doctrines of each other and we know that each party was looking for ways to denigrate the other. There was little friendliness between the two groups (the only exception being the dialogue between Trypho the Jew and Justin Martyr in the middle of the 2nd century).
But even though Jews and Christians were virtual enemies during this period, and with Christians trying desperately in many public debates to show what they considered to be the error of Jewish beliefs, it is significant that not once (in all mainline Christian literature that has come down to us from those times) do the Christians blame the Jewish people for practicing any form of idolatry.
The central accusation that Christians had of Jews was their refusal to accept Jesus as the prophesied Messiah and what Christians considered was their allegorizing away some plain scriptures which prophesied of the Messiah that Christians believed were fulfilled by Jesus. That's it!
There is not a word of Christians accusing the Jews as a whole or as individuals who were mainline Jews of the slightest idolatrous acts after the fall of Jerusalem in C.E. 70. and up to and including the 6th century.
This is a highly important point because this was the very period when Christians and Jews were battling one another over many doctrinal disputes. But the practice of idolatry by the Jews (that is, the making or using of idols, paintings, symbols, etc. in their synagogues or burial places) was a subject that never came up among mainline Christians. At no time did they consider mainline Jews as practicing idolatry.
Some might believe, however, that the reason Christians did not censure the Jews for adopting pagan ways
(as the archaeological remains we have mentioned in the first two chapters of this book seemingly suggest)
is because the Christians were themselves beginning to indulge in the same practice of using pagan motifs in their religious services.
Some people believe that even mainline Christians were engaged in doing the same thing starting with the second and third centuries. This is because at Dura Europos was also found a small Christian church near the synagogue and it also had pagan paintings on its walls.
It showed Jesus as the pagan god Orpheus.
This discovery of an early mid-3rd century church having a painting of Orpheus as Jesus is the first example of Christian folk who violated the second command against the use of images or idols.
In this first depiction, Jesus is shown beardless and not with long feminine hair which became the later portrayal of Jesus from the mid-4th century onward.
This latter portrayal of Jesus having long hair and a beard like the pagan gods Zeus (Sarapis) or Askelepios the pagan god of healing only came into vogue with the advent of Constantine and his family.
The discovery of this church at Dura Europos with its pagan paintings in a similar way to the synagogue of the same period that was not far away, would normally suggest to historians that Christian testimony about the idolatry of the Jews at the time was probably not forthcoming since Christians were themselves practicing idolatrous actions. And this is true enough among certain groups who were calling themselves Christians.
The "orthodox" Christians referred to them as "Gnostics"; those who were mixing pagan themes with those of the Holy Scriptures
(we will speak about these people shortly and discuss their idolatrous ways).
But for mainline Christianity (which is normally called "orthodox Christianity" today), every single authority up to the time of Constantine condemned the slightest practice of idolatry among Christians as well as did the mainline Jews.
The following excerpts from early historical documents (which I will soon give) show the opposition by several Christian theologians during and soon after the time of Constantine to the pagan portrayals of Jesus that were just beginning to be distributed amongst orthodox Christians.
With the advent of Constantine, Christian attitude against such idolatrous use of images and pictures began to wane. In the higher social circles in Christendom (and in the emperor's family itself), the people began to abandon the former stance of mainline Christians against idolatrous depictions in their churches. They then started to show Jesus in the form of Zeus (Sarapis) and Askelepios with long hair and a beard. This was never done among "orthodox" Christians before the time of Constantine.
The following quote (abridged) is from Eusebius' "Letter to Constantia" (the sister of Constantine the Great). It shows the utter disdain of Eusebius (the first historian of the Christian church) for the trend toward idolatry that was beginning to occur in "orthodox" churches.
(see link - words in red - for the letters)

these letters are amazing. check em out...
In summation, I wish to quote from one of the top ecclesiastical historians of our time on this important matter. He is Professor W.H.C. Frend. He shows the universal abhorrence of any type of idolatrous themes in what we call the orthodox churches in the second, third and up to the mid-fourth centuries. He cites in his notes the authorities for his statements.
"The origins of Christian art remain a mystery. Ostensibly, both Judaism and Christianity rejected pictorial art on religious subjects. The second commandment had forbidden Israel to make any graven image, and Christian leaders in the East and West alike, including Tertullian, accepted this. Clement and Eusebius, showing rare unanimity, considered this prohibition absolute and binding on Christians. The principal crime [said Tertullian] of the human race, the highest guilt charged upon the world, the whole procuring cause of judgment, is idolatry, and for once Tertullian commanded almost universal assent. The Syriac Didascalia laid down that no offerings were to be received from those who painted with colors, nor from those who made idols or worked in silver and bronze. At the other end of the Mediterranean world, canon 36 of the Council of Elvira stated without qualification that there should be no paintings in church lest what was painted on the wars should be worshiped and venerated."
• Frend, The Rise of Christianity, p.415
The early mainline Christians held all forms of idolatry (paintings, pictures, symbols, statues, etc.) in complete abomination. And, important to the issue before us, none of them ever accused mainline Jews of having such things in their synagogues or in their homes up to and including the time of Constantine. Historians will have to look elsewhere for the origin of the synagogue at Dura Europos and the small Christian church at the same site (which date to the middle of the 3rd century) than looking to mainline Judaism or mainline Christianity as the source of those idolatrous paintings. But really, we can now know without difficulty who were the first to bring such pagan paintings and symbols into certain types of synagogues and certain types of churches. Those people were not mainline Jews or mainline Christians.

Ratings & Reviews
Fantastic (with one small exception)
i've used several DVB-T recording devices (a cheap digibox with hdd, a £200 dual tuner humax freeview recorder, a £50 usb tuner an i've used several DVB-T recording devices (a cheap digibox with hdd, a £200 dual tuner humax freeview recorder, a £50 usb tuner and an integrated tuner in my brother's HP vista pc) and this outshines them all. make sure you select dual tuner if you want to watch/record 2 things at once as i set mine wrong to start with.
the exception to the general brilliance of this is the antennas supplied, they are a load of rubbish for use in a building. that said if you are using the eyetv with a laptop on the move they are your only option.
the EyeTV 3 software is great. normally when reading a manufacturers website about their product i normally find they overestimate how good their product is. i dont think Elgato could overestimate if they tried. everything i would want to do the software allows for, and in most cases offers more options than you will ever need. a slight niggle is that when viewing the tv windowed the virtual remote is always on the screen however in full screen mode it fades out after a short delay.
the smart guides are a fantastic idea as they let you create custom searches relating to almost any aspect of the program you may wish to watch, and you can set it to automatically record all the programs it finds that match your criteria, or you can manually select just the ones you want to see.
another great feature is that once recorded your library can be set up for access by anything on your network with a web browser and the recordings streamed to that device. this works especially well with the iPod touch/iPhone as the software is really designed for this purpose.
i'm sure theres much more this product can offer that i haven't mentioned and i'm sure it will be as good if not better than all the features i've described.
if you want to watch TV on your mac i can't recommend this enough. …

It is a brilliant piece of kit and works seamlessly and the delivery from Apple was outstanding. They said 5-7 days but I got it less than 24 hours after ordering.
Plugged it in, tuned the channels in and hey presto it worked straight away.
Even just using the two supplied antennae I get a great reception and the eyetv3 software works a dream.

The signal strength meter in the software makes it very easy to move the antennas around until you find the best possible position.
As I live in a good reception area, I have not been able to test its ability to use the two antennas to boost weak signals instead of running two channels in parallel.
It is also very easy to do decent edits of recorded programmes in the software, in order to remove ads before exporting to iTunes for upload to my Apple TV. If I want to spend time on doing better edits, I just export it as mpg2, then convert it to QT with MPEG Streamclip, and then import it it to FinalCut.
The only "drawback" is that it doesn't do DVB-T2, i.e. terrestrial HD TV for the UK. Elgato will undoubtedly offer DVB-T2 eventually, but I'm not enough of a geek to know if that would require new hardware or just an upgrade to the brilliant Elgato software. However, even if a new hardware purchase will be required, it's an inexpensive way of getting HD TV programes! …

Democrats are pushing "income inequality" and raising the minimum wage as priorities at the national and state levels. President Barack Obama addressed them in his State of the Union Speech, and both issues are centerpieces of Gov. Martin O'Malley's legislative agenda during this session.
O'Malley said this in response to President Obama's speech
"President Obama's focus on strengthening and growing our middle class tonight was right-on. In Maryland, we share many of the President's priorities, including expanding opportunity, creating high-paid and high-skilled jobs, and lifting more people out of poverty by raising the minimum wage."
O'Malley wants to raise the state's minimum wage to $10.10 an hour.
As usual, the Democrats need a straw man/villain at which to direct their ire and hold up to the public as the enemy of all good things. Nationally it's House Republicans, "the rich," big corporations," and of course the Koch brothers.
(Quick aside: Those evil Koch brothers support decriminalization of drugs, gay marriage, cutting defense spending, and repealing the Patriot Act, and make generous charitable donations to the arts and cancer research. But these libertarian leaning threats to American democracy must be stopped at all costs.)
Here in Democratically controlled Maryland, who is the villain?
Governor O'Malley would likely blame George W. Bush. Here, six years into the Obama presidency, he's still calling it the "Bush recession." In fact, all Governor O'Malley needs to do to find the enemy is look in a mirror.
According to data from the Census Bureau's American Community Survey, as compiled by the Washington Post, Maryland's middle class has shrunk significantly during the O'Malley era. A Post graphic shows that the number of households earning between $25,000 and $100,000 a year shrunk by nearly 38,000 between the 2007-2009 three-year period and 2010-2012.
Another way to measure income inequality is through the Gini coefficient. The calculation measures income distribution. A rating of zero means total equality, and rating of 1 means maximum inequality. Maryland's income distribution has increased under O'Malley.
Maryland Gini Coefficients 2007-2012
2007: 0.442
2008: 0.438
2009: 0.448
2010: 0.443
2011: 0.447
2012: 0.447
"One Maryland" is a rhetorical convention O'Malley loves to use to say "we're all in this together." The reality however, is that under his watch there are Two Marylands.
In no other place is this more evident than O'Malley's home city of Baltimore, where he mayor for 8 years.
Baltimore: where politically connected developers get taxpayer subsidies to build boondoggle developments, like the Baltimore Hilton, State Center and Harbor Point, while the rest of the city struggles and crumbles.

This is the best fitting bathing suit I have ever worn. I love the material.
These suits last! Perfect for water aerobics in lots of chlorine. Feels a little small for its size.
I continue to purchase these suits because the fit well and last a long time in chlorinated water. You can't beat how well they hold up.
Love the suit, one downfall is the top is a little big, but not too bad.
It does not shift in the water. It feels good. It looks good
I bought this suit in Poppy Red. On your site, I looked for the size and style I wanted, but did not find the correct combination in the dark teal color I wanted. However, the Poppy Red color is very nice! I guessed at the size, but it fits very well and is really comfortable to wear for water aerobics. The only negative: the straps could be a little wider. As is, they tend to twist a little at the shoulders.
Fits well over all. Straps feel loose while in the pool.
Great for water aerobics or the beach. Modest coverage. The sizing is accurate. Suit holds up well, this is the 2nd one I have purchased. Plan to alternate suits.
Received my suit very quickly in the mail just as promised and the size I chose was as I expected it to be. I especially like this type of suit because it's not too skimpy by having the front panel on it. Suit is great for doing water aerobics everyday. I don't have to worry about it fading like some other suits.

Samsung's next Galaxy smartphone will have a metal body, following HTC and Apple's premium devices, if Japanese website EMSOne is to be believed.
Samsung will opt for a more premium design for its upcoming flagship phone, according to a recent report.
The Galaxy S5 and earlier Galaxy smartphones had replaceable batteries and storage expansion slots. But the new GS6 says goodbye to that flexibility in favor of a sleeker design.

egg whites
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon
cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon
peppermint extract
1 pinch
1 cup
white sugar
milk chocolate candy kisses, unwrapped
Very easy to make and fun to eat! I plan on making these again, but with some variations: almond extract instead of peppermint, or mini chocolate chips mixed with the meringue (or sprinkled mini chips on top of the unbaked cookie). Another possible variation: a well-drained maraschino cherry (without stem) in the center instead of the chocolate kiss, and omitting the peppermint extract. While my young daughter likes to eat these cookies, I still plan on making them by myself (raw egg whites).
I didn't give this recipe 5 Overall stars because it seems to need something, mainly presentation-wise. I think some finely shaved chocolate or jimmies sprinkled on the unbaked meringue would "dress up" the cookie a bit.
Tips on making the cookie: avoid air-pockets between the meringue and the kiss, and use two baking sheets -- you can fit the whole recipe on both sheets and get the whole batch in the oven at one time.
I have made this kind of cookie before and never with these results. I tried 4 batches and none of them turned out for me.
13 Ratings
I love these and make them every Christmas.
I use mint chocolate kisses in one batch and add a little green food coloring. Before popping it in the oven I add green and white sprinkles.
Another batch gets well-drained (and patted-dry) maraschino cherries and a little red food coloring and red & white sprinkles.
A third batch gets regular chocolate, no coloring, and chocolate sprinkles.
The result is a very Christmassy platter of colorful treats. It gets decimated at any party I take it to.
I made this every Christmas when my children were little and now for my grandchildren. I use mini-chocolate chips folded into the meringue rather than the kisses. Also don't care for the peppermint, instead used almond. Sprinkled white edible glitter over the cookies and they are beautiful and festive.
My mother used to make these every Christmas and I've been looking to find a recipe so I could make them for my kids. This is the one to use!! AWESOME. Just like I remember my Mom making. Love them. Followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have any cream of tartar. I used two drops of vinegar instead; did the trick wonderfully! Meringue was lovely and thick and shiney. These are now on my must have list for Christmas.
Sooooooo good, with or without chocolate. Loved the peppermint. Also sprinkled crushed candy canes on top before baking... Very pretty. Mine were still a little gooey inside so I may try cooling inside the open oven next time instead of removing the cookies promptly; but I really liked them this way too. Might just be the Seattle humidity... Always hard to make meringues here!
I was looking for a recipe for meringue nest for easter and came across this one. Growing up in the 60s in our town, we had a Woman's Bakery on the main street. I remember buying meringue nest in different colours at easter time for 5 or 10 cents. I wanted my children to have the same experience as me to remember. This recipe worked great. Didn't bother with any flouring, just a little food colouring. Then piped birds nest on the cookie sheet and baked as directed. We finished them off, by putting some tiny easter eggs in them.. so easy and so good... thanks
had this recipe and lost it was glad to finally find it again. It is soooo good thank you

Google's auto-complete feature-which gives suggestions about what you may be typing in the search bar before you spell out the whole word-is surely one of its most useful features. It's also proving to be one of its most controversial, and the search giant keeps modifying the program by kicking out terms that are too closely related to piracy. The most recent search term that's too controversial for auto-complete? It's mediafire, the name of a cyberlocker service.
The change, which was first noticed today by the TorrentFreak blog, means that searchers who type in "mediafire" won't get any suggestions of what terms to include in their search, although there's nothing stopping users from typing in any search term they choose, sans suggestion.
Other file-sharing terms, like BitTorrent, torrent, and Rapidshare, only make suggestions after users have typed in the full first word.
As TorrentFreak pointed out, Google's tweaks to this system have been mighty inconsistent. Most obviously, it's blocked some cyberlocker sites, like Mediafire and Rapidshare, but is happy to make suggestions about others, like Hotfile (which is actually being sued by the MPAA right now.)
A Google (NSDQ: GOOG) spokeswoman told TorrentFreak: "When evaluating terms for inclusion, we examine several factors, including correlation between the term and results that have been subject to valid DMCA takedown notices." He added: "While there is no silver bullet for infringement online, this measure is one of several that we have implemented to curb copyright infringement online."
So why do so many suggested searches involve terms related to piracy? Simply because-as Google General Counsel Kent Walker has even told Congress-there are a lot of people searching for infringing material. Still, even though autocomplete is effectively just a poll of what the masses are searching for, it does seem to keep landing Google in hot water.
At a recent hearing, one Congresswoman, Rep. Wasserman-Schultz, pounded Google over the idea that typing in "knockoff" might lead to a suggestion to search for "knockoff handbags." The heat continues, even though selling goods that imitate high-fashion items is-and you would think Wasserman-Schultz would know this-perfectly legal.
This is one feature that Google is likely to have to continue to make alterations to. The picture that it provides of what people are truly searching for just isn't a pretty one, and the political and economic pressure to censor those results is only going to get stronger. One has to hope the company continues to be careful enough not to take the blocking too far. (Thankfully, it looks like Google has, so far, resisted Wasserman-Schultz's idea of making "knockoff" a banned term.)
Google started excluding certain piracy-related terms from autocomplete in January, but it has long excluded other terms from autocomplete, including words related to violence and hate speech, as well as sexually explicit search terms.

'The Tenants'
Faithful film adaptations of literary works are as rare as compelling movies about writers and writing, but here's one that gets both right. Based on Bernard Malamud's 1971 novel of the same name, Danny Green's The Tenants is a bleakly funny, quietly harrowing exploration of the confluence of race, art, and privilege in pre-gentrification Brooklyn.
Essentially a two-character parable, The Tenants' story couldn't be more elemental: Harry Lesser (Dylan McDermott), a moody writer, isolates himself in an otherwise vacant tenement to finish his latest novel. His progress is interrupted when Willie Spearmint (Snoop Dogg), a petty criminal intent on becoming a writer himself, sets up an office down the hall. Their brief, instantly volatile association underscores the gulf between black and white America in the early '70s and beyond: Confrontational, race-obsessed Willie alternately antagonizes and flatters Harry, while the arrogant Harry patronizes Willie even as he co-opts his talent, his experience, and ultimately, his woman (Rose Byrne). A satisfactory middle ground remains tragically elusive. Stilted and gloomy as it sounds (and sometimes is), The Tenants gets by on its nimble approximation of Malamud's robust prose, subtle turns of deadpan humor and gut-tingling menace, and remarkable performances. McDermott does credible work here, but Snoop's casting is a stroke of genius: His sneering, wounded belligerence and disarming lack of affect make the character more than just a hapless doppelg and give the film's potentially dry politicking a human dimension.
Malamud claimed that The Tenants "argues for the invention of choices to outwit tragedy," and the ambiguous last line of Lesser's novel, revealed in the film's acerbic final shot, could be a disastrously deferred expression of such a choice or just one more solipsistic ego-stroke. In either case, the disturbing implication Green leaves us with is that art is simply another stage on which to exhibit our worst instincts.

*Also, Ursulalvr, I haven't forgotten about the TDS game. The truth is, I haven't played it in ages and I didn't get very far. I'm thinking I'll dust it off over New Year's vacation and let you know more.^^
Eeee-va, probably the Sweet Duffy will be the full costume, as it has been in previous years. It will most likely even include the "Here for You" heart. The only thing they probly won't have is the shoes.
Just as a side-note, look what I mean about the mascot, courtesy the fantastic TDR de ASOBLOG:
TDS Duffy ~2009
Post-US launch TDS Duffy
US Duffy 2010~
I miss the furrier fur, the rounder head and the more angular muzzle with the not-shiny nose (although yes, i see that the new muzzle shape makes a better "Mickey")! It looks like the US took the old TDS design, so why did ours have to change so drastically?!? I suppose it should technically be more on-model, but it somehow comes off as a kind of "uncanny valley" Duffy to me. Maybe it's mostly the wider head shape, though, rather than the changed muzzle...in theory I like the new muzzle. The ears are really different, too; he has quilted Dumbo ears now! The old ones just went up or even better, curved slightly in, accentuating the roundness of the head. These new ones fly out at the top and just look too big and floppy. It's cute on Dumbo, not as much on Duffy... This just drives me crazy all the time!!!...

Will Colin Kaepernick take a step back in his development?
@chans206 "Can Kaep avoid the ("sophomore") 2nd season slump common to young NFL QB's?"
Kaepernick was nothing short of amazing last season. From the moment he took the field as a starter, he dazzled fans with his rocket arm and gazelle like strides. But the two things that really made Kaepernick special were his decision making and his ability to bring the team back from a deficit.
In 298 attempts, the young quarterback was only intercepted five times. Some of the credit for that has to go to Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman as they put Kaepernick in situations he was comfortable in. But Colin deserves a lot of credit too for not making the mistakes so many inexperienced quarterbacks do. The only real blemish that sticks out is the late lateral fumble against the Rams that cost the team the game, but that was more an isolated incident than any kind of a trend. In the playoffs, Kaepernick showed he had ice in his veins bringing his team from behind against the Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons. He did it again on the biggest stage of all in the Super Bowl. Even though he came 5 yards short, it shouldn't diminish the guts and poise he showed bringing his team back.
With all of the buzz around Kaepernick, it's easy to forget how inexperienced he really is. All of his early success does not mean he won't have some growing pains along the way. With any young quarterback, there are going to be some bumps along the road. Teams will have plenty of tape to study on the 49ers' offense and defenses will adjust to what they see on film. Also, the 49ers open the season with two very tough games against the Packers and the Seahawks. If the team starts 0-2 does any kind of panic set in?
Ultimately, Kaepernick has the talent, drive, and coaching to overcome any trials and tribulations that might come his way. He's on track to be the next NFL superstar, but that doesn't mean their won't be rough patches ahead.
@isaacl6718 "How much will the offense expand with Kap getting a whole offseason?"
The 49ers will be able to use more of the playbook with Kaepernick getting a full offseason as the starter. Greg Roman is one of the most imaginitive play callers in the game and with an athlete like Kaepernick behind center, the sky is the limit. Having said that, I think the Niners will still do what they do. They are going to run the ball and feature two tight end sets. The addition of Anquan Boldin will help in the passing game, but don't expect the team to be airing it out every week. One variable that can make a huge difference is the consistent involvement of Vernon Davis in the passing game. Vernon is a matchup nightmare for defenses and can dominate a game. I'd like to see him used in the game plan similar to the way they did in the payoffs rather than the end of last season. The offense is just more explosive when Davis is getting the ball down field.
Can Frank Gore still carry the load at Age 30?
Frank Gore is an "All Time 49er" in every sense of the phrase. It's likely no other player will wear the number 21 once he's gone. Gore, who will be 30 when camp opens, has carried the ball 2,003 times in his career (including the playoffs). He's coming off of a season where he played 19 games and had 321 total carries. The only other time Gore eclipsed 300 carries was his second season in 2006 when he had 312. That workload, coupled with his age, could slow his production in 2013.
It's hard to believe that the 49er's expect Gore to be a 20 carry a game work horse back in the regular season. The past two years under Harbaugh, he's averaged 16.8 carries per game. He's also seen his carries dip from 282 in 2011 to 258 in 2012. That trend will continue as Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James are mixed into the offense.
Gore hasn't shown any signs of slowing down but running backs can hit a wall quickly. The 49ers will count on him as they always do to be the complete back that he is, but will limit his touches enough so he stays fresh throughout a long season. Odds are he has enough left in the tank for one more productive campaign.
@caseydraftnik "Does Gore reach the 10k club this year? If not does he reach it with the 49ers at all?"
Gore is only 1,161 yards away from 10,000 career rushing yards. He's rushed for 1,211 and 1214 yards the last two season so if he has similar production it's possible. Gore is due to make over six million dollars in 2014. With looming Kapernick and Aldon Smith contract extensions, you have to wonder if the 49ers would go the cheaper route with Lattimore, Hunter, and James (assuming Lattimore is healthy) next year. Could this be Gore's last season in red and gold?
Did the 49ers do enough to address depth on the defensive line?
Glenn Dorsey could really end up being a steal in free agency. If anyone can get him to reach his potential, it's Jim Tomsula. But Dorsey projects to play nose tackle and he lacks experience at the position. Dorsey is intriguing as a backup to Justin Smith and Ray McDonald at defensive end as well and it will be interesting to see how, if at all, they rotate the line. The 49ers rarely substitute on defense. Ian Williams has never played meaningful snaps but looks to have an inside track to at least be the back up nose tackle. The wild cards here are the rookies. What can the they expect from Tank Carradine? Can Quinton Dial even make the team? They will bring Carradine along slowly, most likely mixing him in on passing downs at defensive end. Tank could be a star, but it may take some time. If Smith or McDonald go down for an extended period of time, the 49ers could have some of the same problems they did last year keeping teams off the scoreboard.
Will the secondary bounce back after a tough post season?
It's hard to say the secondary will be better because they lost their best player in Dashon Goldson. Whether it's Craig Dahl or rookie Eric Reid starting, there will likely be a drop off at free safety. The 49ers need a good year out of Donte Whitner to help on the back end. What's going to be interesting is seeing how cornerback plays out.
The 49ers had a lot of trouble with big, physical receivers in the playoffs so they went out and signed a big physical corner in Nnamdi Asomugha. Come September, Asomugha could be starting or he could be looking for work. Given his non guaranteed contract, he may not even make the team if he has a poor preseason. While Carlos Rogers' play could slip again because of age, Chris Culliver and Tarell Brown could be in for career years. Super Bowl aside, Culliver has played very well over the past two seasons. In his third campaign, he could come into his own as a solid NFL starter. For Brown, he's most likely auditioning for other teams. While not spectacular, Brown is a solid corner and will get a big contract when he hits free agency after the season. It's unlikely the 49ers break the bank to bring him back.
The real answer to this question though doesn't have as much to do with the secondary itself as it does with the pass rush. If Justin and Aldon Smith are themselves and the 49ers front seven are getting pressure, the secondary will be fine. If there isn't a consistent pass rush, it doesn't really matter who is back there covering.
@ElvinPritchard "Can AJ Jenkins make an impact or is he truly a bust?'
I'm not even sure the coaching staff has an answer to this one yet. Wide receiver is one of those positions where it may take a player three years before the light goes on. The issue with that for Jenkins is the 49ers are in the Super Bowl hunt year in and year out and they don't have time for him to go through growing pains for that long. Even worse for Aj, newly drafted Quinton Patton seems to be the antithesis of Jenkins. While Jenkins showed up to rookie mini camp out of shape last year, Patton impressed the 49ers with his eagerness to get on the field when he tried to report to the team almost right away. Aside from media introductions after they are drafted, rookies are not allowed at the team facility until the start of rookie mini camp. The team told Patton he had to wait, but this quote from Jim Harbaugh says it all:
"The fact that he would buy his own ticket, fly out here, just speaks volumes about him. To be honest with you, he reminds me of me. That's something I would have done. I love it." Jenkins better show up to camp ready to play this year.
Can the 49ers get over the hump and win the Super Bowl THIS year?
It's gotten to the point with the 49ers where anything less than a championship is going to be disappointing. Under Harbuagh, they've gotten close and then closer only to see the season end in heartbreak. While this team should be seen as the front runner to win it all in 2013, it's not necessarily the end of the world if they don't. In the NFL, it's extremely difficult to make it to two straight Conference Championship games, let alone three in a row. With Alex Smith at quarterback, the 49ers had more of a window to try and get it done. Alex needed to have things neat and tidy around him. If Kaepernick continues to develop, he's the type of player who can take over a game. He can have the same affect a Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, or Aaron Rodgers has where just having him behind center can mean a ten win season. Combine a franchise quarterback with a great head coach and smart front office and the 49ers will be in the championship hunt for a long time. So while they have a great chance to win the Super Bowl this year, odds may be stacked against them.

Burning 49er Questions for 2013

By Al Sacco
The views within this article are those of the writer and, while just as important, are not necessarily those of the site as a whole.
By: GonzolaDate: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 6:18 AMComment: Should the 49ers pick up LOVE (DT) just dropped from the Patriots? Could be a steal... unless that knee injury last season proves to be the 'real' reason he was let go?! Wouldn't LOVE be a better gamble than the discus thrower?Response: I know he was also diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and had lost some weight. Don't know a whole lot about him but he could be damaged goods if the Pats just let him go like that.
By: onemoretimeDate: Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 12:53 PMComment: u never answered my first comment which made fantastic comments. Regarding this issue. Cap is one of those players who is a natural his history shows performance. Some players come into the league and perform at a high level from the start i.e. Howie Long, Montana and others always had it. Cap will rise to the top. His only problem might be with some of the cast around him under performing. Particularly the offense line, and injuries if those knuckle head keep using him as a runner. He's got exemplary great q.b. skills. I see that. Why risk losing them by using him as a runner?Response: I don't think you'll see him on too many designed runs this year. I do believe he'll get red zone carries but the 9ers won't want to expose him. He's a passer and a good one
By: dietrich from mauiDate: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 2:07 PMComment: U think the first comment praised the ninners for sitting kaep,as to the niners not showing up against the vikes and giants,I think it was Mike tyson syndrome were we weren't ready to get punched like we punch and got knocked out. Every game we allow a special teams td we lose. We all know the hawks game was a game the niners couldn't win(91 plays on d the week before in NE,back to back primetime road games where we were flexed,and it was Seattles superbowl). Great readResponse: Thanks! Yeah, some of those games were mind boggling. It looks like they made an effort to help fix special teams so hopefully the kickoff units play more like 2011
By: AJ DembroskiDate: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 5:35 AMComment: RE: They sat him for a year and a half... Yes, that's my point. Kaep got the time, and the investment is paying off. How many good quarterbacks are ruined by being thrown into the fire day 1?Response: True. It's ruined a lot of careers. David Carr....almost Alex Smith
By: AJ DembroskiDate: Friday, May 10, 2013 at 2:11 AMComment: Kaep is yet another piece of evidence that the NFL ruins more QBs than it develops. Sit the guy! Let them learn! Stop wasting your investments.Response: They sat him for a year and a half. I think it depends on the qb. Kaep is ready
By: ninersfan4lifeDate: Thursday, May 9, 2013 at 7:38 PMComment: very good article. I agree with your observations. My question is about the coaching. Will we be able to start games quicker this year and not fall behind leading to the starters playing hard to catch up. I would like to see us script the first series like bill walsh did in the past. Also, how about a hurry up offense like the patriots do with tom brady. This is the year we win the super bowl. Go NinersResponse: Thanks! Starting slow really hurt them and then there were games (vikings, giants, seahawks) they didn't show up. Maybe with a tougher schedule and the seahwaks on their heels, they'll be more focused from the starts
