Whoa! You kiddles did party after I left! I actually had a few pages to read through this morning!! But now, I have to get ready to go to work!
Disneyland Here I Come Again!
October 1, to October 6, 2015
This is the non My Little Pony song that's been in my head.
That clip reminded me of my favorite TV show when I was, like...6 years old. Tyler, you are likely too young and the wrong gender to remember this, but I sure do!
But it seems that 80's cartoons are getting reboots. Obviously there's MLP, Thundercats has a new series, there's yet another Ninja Turtles series, same with Transformers, and He-Man has an ongoing comic that DC just recently started publishing.
Oh I forgot Care Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, and Pound Puppies
But there's nothing like 80's and early 90's cartoons. Those were the "good old days" of cartoons....Disney Afternoon at the top of that list.

I had forgotten about Pound Puppies. Classic.
Just googled it, and the series was cancelled a year ago. But it seems that some if not all of the trade paper backs are on amazon.

Johnson City police officers arrested 12 people on DUI charges over the New Year's holiday, almost half the number from last year.
The holiday period began Friday and ended at the end of Jan. 1.
According to statistics from Sgt. John Hames, JCPD records supervisor, officers arrested 20 people on DUI charges over the 2011-12 holiday.
JCPD's arrests account for almost all the DUI charges for the holiday. According to the Washington County Sessions Clerk's office, 15 people went to jail for a DUI charge. That includes the 12 Johnson City police arrested.
JCPD Lt. Larry Williams said the holiday weekend was busy for officers.
"New Year's Eve we were busy but we weren't slammed," Williams said. "It was like a typical Saturday night. We had three extra officers that night."
Five of the city's 12 arrests were made on Jan. 1 between 2:20 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., while the others were made between Dec. 28 and Dec. 30.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol conducted intense saturation patrols as well as numerous sobriety and driver's license checkpoints over the New Year's holiday. Results from those activities were not available Wednesday.
Most of that enforcement focused on Carter and Greene counties with 20 checkpoints between the two.
The THP also conducted a "No Refusal" enforcement campaign to highlight the new No Refusal law that went into effect last year. The law allows law enforcement officials to obtain search warrants for blood samples in cases involving suspected impaired drivers.
Of the 15 charged with DUI in Washington County, only one person had a charge of violation of implied consent as well. That charge is placed when a person suspected of drunken driving refuses to take a breath test or submit blood when asked to determine their level of intoxication.

FASB Issues Exposure Draft on Mergers and Acquisitions
October 9, 2006
On October 9, the FASB issued an exposure draft titled, "Not-for-Profit Organizations: Mergers and Acquisitions." The ED culminates years of work by the FASB in the area of not-for-profit business combinations. The proposed statement would eliminate the use of the pooling method of accounting by not-for-profit organizations and require the application of the acquisition method to any merger or acquisition.
FASB believes that virtually all mergers and acquisitions are substantially the acquisition of net assets. The proposed statement defines a merger or acquisition by a not-for profit organization as any event that results in the initial recognition of another business or nonprofit activity (acquiree) in the financial statements of a not-for-profit organization. The proposed statement would retain the existing authoritative guidance (AICPA Statement of Position 94-3) in determining whether another entity should be consolidated.
Independent institutions with mergers or acquisitions would be required to apply the provisions in the ED prospectively in the fiscal year that begins approximately six months after the issuance of the final statement. NACUBO encourages independent institutions to read and respond to the questions outlined in the ED by the comment deadline, January 29, 2007. NACUBO plans to comment based on input from NACUBO's Accounting Principles Council, but encourages all members to provide insights and contribute to the letter. Finally, the FASB plans to hold one or more public roundtable meetings in Norwalk, Connecticut, on March 27, 2007, to discuss the ED. Members with either feedback on the ED or an interest in attending the public roundtables should contact Sue Menditto, director, accounting policy.
Highlights and requirements of the exposure draft include:
• Distinctions between an acquisition of a business or nonprofit activity and a purchase or contribution of a group of assets.
• The identification of an acquirer in all mergers and acquisitions.
• Recognition of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed that compose the acquiree.
• Recognition of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition-date fair values.
• Separate recognition (on the acquisition date) at fair value of identifiable intangible assets acquired, with the exception of an assembled workforce.
• The recognition of either the goodwill purchased or the contribution inherent in the merger or acquisition based upon calculation and measurement as a residual value rather than measured at fair value.
• The provision for a measurement period after the acquisition date during which the acquirer may adjust provisional amounts recognized at the acquisition date.
• An assessment by the acquirer of the appropriateness of bundling of multiple transactions.
• Broad disclosure objectives supplemented by specific minimum disclosure requirements (outlined in paragraphs 64-75 of the ED).
• Additional disclosure requirements by not-for-profits that issue public debt securities or are obligated for public conduit debt securities issued by governmental issuers.
• The establishment of standards for the accounting and reporting of non-controlling ownership interests in the consolidated financial statements of a not-for-profit organization and for the loss of control of subsidiaries.

Zac Efron: Rehab was interesting
Zac Efron found going to rehab "interesting".
The 26-year-old actor checked into treatment facilities twice last year to seek help for rumored substance abuse and alcoholism and says his experiences have taught him a lot and set him on the right path for the future.
He said: "I am so happy now and I feel like I am in a great place.
"It was an interesting year and I learnt so many things, but the best part of it was being able to reflect upon my experiences and what I had learnt about myself and the kind of man I want to be."
Zac - who has recently been romantically linked to actress Halston Sage - is currently looking for love and wants an "honest" relationship.
Discussing his character Jason in recent movie 'That Awkward Moment', he told the Metro newspaper: "What I like about him is that he tries to be honest. That's something I have always tried to be in a relationship - honesty is the most important thing.
"I feel that, at the core of him, he is a good person looking for love. That's what I am doing right now in my life too. I can relate to him."

Easy Calzones
What's the difference between a calzone and a pizza pocket? This is one of the mysteries of life I hope to one day know the answer to.
We love calzones in our house! Always have, always will. They're easy to eat, and you can fill them with whatever ol' pizza-friendly ingredients you like. You can serve them with marinara as a dipping sauce or you can pour marinara sauce over the calzones after they're baked.
And you can make them with your favorite homemade pizza crust, which I'm happy to do…OR you can do what I did last night and take this easy, just-as-delicious road.
Here's what you need: Frozen (unrisen) dinner rolls or bread dough, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, mozzarella, sausage, onion, Italian seasoning (not pictured because I'm a dork), parsley, salt and pepper (not pictured because I'm an airhead), and pepperoni if you're into that sort of thing.
Remove several rolls from the bag and place them on a baking sheet. Then just cover them with a towel and let them thaw and rise for two or three hours.
When the rolls are close, preheat the oven to 400 degrees, then dice up an onion.
Throw in the sausage and cook it with the onions…
Then throw in the Italian seasoning…
And the red pepper flakes. Then just remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside to cool.
Now, throw the ricotta into a bowl.
Then add some Parmesan cheese.
Then have your thirteen-year-old nephew Stu crack in a couple of eggs for you.
Note: If you do not have a thirteen-year-old nephew named Stu, you may have a hard time executing this important step.
And roll it as thinly as you can. You'll have to press pretty hard and work it over a few times, but just keep at it.
Then fold the other edge over…
And place it on a baking sheet. (A baking mat, parchment, or cooking spray is wise. As you can see, I was not wise in this photo.)
The bread dough is awesomely stretchy, so it allows you to pull a bit when and if you need to!
To seal the edges, press them with a fork…
And generously brush the surface of the calzones.
Oh! And I forgot the parsley earlier.
It goes into the cheese mixture.
If you just want one variety of calzone, here's the way I usually do it: Just throw the cooled sausage right into the cheese mixture and stir it around.
If you want more generously-sized calzones, grab the thawed bread loaf and tear off 1/4 to 1/3 of the loaf.
(See that wound on my finger? Airsoft.)
And roll it out. Because you have a little more dough to work with, you don't have to get it quite as thin as you did the bread rolls.
Lay a good portion of the sausage on the dough, then lay pepperoni slices on top.
Now it's time to bake 'em! 400 degrees for 8-12 minutes, until they're nice and golden brown.
Like dees! These are the babies.
And dees! This is the monster-sized one.
This is definitely a portion size Marlboro Man can wrap his appetite around, but the smaller calzones make more sense for kids or anyone who might be frightened by a calzone this monstrous.
I serve my calzone with marinara sauce for dipping. It's more of a fun experience that way and everyone can control the amount of sauce he prefers. But you can also smother the calzone with marinara if you like things messy.
Enjoy, everyone!

- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 15 ounces, fluid Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese

Preparation Instructions
Place frozen rolls (or frozen bread loaves) on a baking sheet to thaw. Cover with a tea towel and let thaw and rise for 2 to 3 hours.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and allow to cook for a couple of minutes. Add sausage and cook until brown, crumbling the sausage as you stir. Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Remove from pan and allow to cool on a plate.
In a separate bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, mozzarella, eggs, salt, pepper, and parsley. When sausage is cool, stir it in. Set aside.
When rolls are thawed and risen, roll them out on a lightly floured surface until paper thin. Spoon 3-4 tablespoons (approximately) filling onto half of the dough circle. Fold half of the dough over itself, then press edges to seal.
*Note: If you want a larger calzone, use frozen bread loaves and use about 1/4 to 1/3 of the loaf for each calzone.
Brush surface of calzone with beaten egg, then bake for 10-13 minutes, or until nice and golden brown. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

Yes! It sure does look fast.
My favorite kind of recipe!

This is a great recipe! Every region of the world has a version of this stuffed bread goodness (for us it was samosas!) …I'll be trying these your way asap!! xoxo!
kale On Monday, June 25 at 1:19 pm
I think that's the name to go with: Stuffed Bread Goodness!
Lisa @ www.bakedinmaine.com On Tuesday, June 26 at 8:38 am
We can even change it up.
Make it with thin whole wheat.
ShonP On Monday, June 25 at 7:07 am
Just getting ready to set some bread dough and now I'll be making some extra for the calzones I'll be making for tonight! My husband has been bugging me to make these, and now I have no excuse – the "stuff" is right in front of me! Thanks for sharing – they look so good.
Texan and grandma On Monday, June 25 at 7:17 am
Did thirteen-year-old nephew Stu observe the whole operation including the writing of this blog entry? That would be a good multi-tasking lesson for him. – getting the family fed something yummy while also doing your job
Karen On Monday, June 25 at 7:22 am
I'm thinking about putting a little of the sauce inside. Can't wait to try these – yum!!
Donna J. On Monday, June 25 at 9:27 am
Yes, sauce inside sounds yummy!
Paula On Monday, June 25 at 11:55 am
Based on past experience, be very sparing with the sauce added inside. It tends to make the calzone dough soggy on the interior.
Melissa from the Blue House On Monday, June 25 at 7:28 am
What a great idea! And perfect for kids' lunches… I"m always trying to think up ideas beyond the pb&j sandwich… or ANY sandwich for that matter… because they always get disgusting and squishy and soggy in lunchboxes.
Jackie On Monday, June 25 at 9:03 am
A tip on the PB&J in lunchboxes…we make all of our kids' sandwiches for their school lunches on Sundays and freeze them–if you put peanut butter on each piece of bread before putting the jelly on, no soggy sandwich! The sandwiches go into their lunchboxes frozen and are thawed and ready at lunch. Hope that helps!
Daren On Monday, June 25 at 11:46 pm
Ha ha ha, what Jackie said! Sunday evening at our house (8 people) mom would eventually call us into the kitchen where 2: loaves of bread, packages of luncheon meat and packages of cheese (yes, sliced and pre-wrapped American) would be laid out with a package of sandwich bags.
Each one of us kids would grab two slices of bread, one of meat and one of cheese, and make a sandwich. We'd then put in a sandwich bag at the end of the line. Go back to the beginning and keep going until all the sandwiches were made. My mom would then put the wrapped sandwiches back into the now empty bread bags and put them both in the freezer.
Come morning we'd grab a sandwich (or two if you were in High School), a brown paper bag and a package of chips (fruit if my dad got a bonus recently!) and we were off to school in no time with a lunch that would be defrosted by the lunch bell. (The chips were always those 24 pak of little sized bags that they still sell today.)
My mother's smart like that!
Pamela H. On Sunday, July 15 at 8:44 pm
Can you do that with PB & B (Banana) too?
Jessica J On Monday, June 25 at 7:33 am
Oh yum! Now I want a calzone for breakfast, darn it!

Urban Wife On Monday, June 25 at 7:54 am
The possibilities are endless!
laura On Monday, June 25 at 7:57 am
We have a pretty big family, so I just make one or two huge calzones. I roll out one of the frozen bread dough loaves on a jelly roll pan, put the cheese and meat and whatever else on top of that, and lay another rolled out bread dough loaf on top. Then crimp all the sides and throw it in the oven for 20 minutes.I do like the look that the egg gives, so I may try that next time.
Alexis On Monday, June 25 at 8:03 am
Could these be frozen after assembly? (Either before or after baking) … I'd like to take them pre-made to our big family get together on the 4th …
Grace Vaught On Monday, June 25 at 8:05 am
One word: YUM! I am going to have to make these!
Yvette On Monday, June 25 at 8:08 am
Growing up in New Jersey was like growing up in pizza central. That is where I first had pizza as a kid and for me it's New York style baby!!! What I also loved growing up was calzones filled with all the pizza topping goodness plus ricotta cheese. We also had stromboli's aka pizza rolls, pepperoni rolls… etc. The only difference I could ever see is the stromboli's didn't have any ricotta. Pizzaria calzones were alway LOADED with ricotta which I guess is what I loved about them but they were also really messy. Stromboli's were way easier to eat on the go.
JennieRC On Monday, June 25 at 1:53 pm
I grew up (and live) in "pizza central" too. I could walk to a good handful of pizza joints in minutes. It's disappointing to leave the area and not have the real italian crust in most other places, the crust makes it for me. If I made my own calzones (which this post sure makes me wanna do!) I'd need to start with a pizza dough recipe. I think my family would have fun with this.
Allyn On Monday, June 25 at 8:19 am
I used to eat calzones all the time growing up. They were one of my mom's make ahead and freeze meals. I might have to tweak this recipe to make it as delicious for the dairy free segment of my home as it would be for me, a cheese lover.
AOh, and I made your macaroni salad this weekend (http://lollingabout.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/things-we-love-wickles-pickles/)
And I historically hate mac salad.
Jany On Monday, June 25 at 11:10 am
Did your mom freeze before or after baking?
SarahW On Tuesday, June 26 at 11:37 am
Jany, we bake these before freezing so the kids can just pop them in the microwave for a few minutes. If you want, you could also partially bake (maybe 7-10 minutes) and then flash freeze (throw in the freezer on a baking sheet for 1 hour then wrap up). When you want to serve as a meal, just thaw and finish in the oven for another 10 minutes until baked through. This seems to help the dough rise better. I've experimented with just freezing after assembling and they were really crispy and didn't rise at all. I hope this helps.
Also, try other fillings: chicken, bacon, mozzarella, ranch dressing, OR ham, swiss and sauteed mushrooms with dijon mustard, OR taco flavored hamburger, refried beans, cheddar and black olives dip in salsa after cooked. MMmmmmm.
janmaus On Wednesday, June 27 at 9:34 am
Yeah!!! Another Wickles fan!!! I made a comment last week about it's inclusion in our version of the wonderful mac salad–and on hot dogs, potato salad, or just on a spoon!!!
Sarita On Monday, June 25 at 8:25 am
You are making it so hard to diet…I will have to try these!
I made your strawberry oatmeal bars yesterday using my frozen peach jam and I could not leave them alone!
Stephanie On Monday, June 25 at 8:33 am
I might try these. Normally calzones are just too much bread. But I like the smaller version. Thanks for the quick recipe.
Tina On Monday, June 25 at 8:41 am
My family does not like Ricotta cheese. Any suggestions on a substitute or if these would work without it? Otherwise they look delicious!
Tracie On Monday, June 25 at 8:58 am
These would definitely work without ricotta. I sometimes substitute cottage cheese for ricotta when I make lasagna. If your family like cottage cheese you can use that instead. If not I am sure it would taste great without it.
Mary Ellen On Monday, June 25 at 10:42 am
Agree re: cottage cheese. You can puree it to get the same consistency as the ricotta.
Kathy On Monday, June 25 at 1:40 pm
I'm not a fan of ricotta either. I use it very sparingly in my calzones and load up on the other toppings and mozzarella. They come out really good. Just let it sit for 10 mins or so when they come out of the oven. That way, all the cheese won't run out when you make the first cut. Enjoy!!
Travis Cotton On Monday, June 25 at 8:55 am
Those look good. I prefer the texture of pizza dough though. Ill try these though.
Tracie On Monday, June 25 at 8:56 am
I make a similar version with my bread maker pizza dough setting. I have never used ricotta cheese though. Wonder if my kids would mind me making these instead of lasagna.
Jen On Monday, June 25 at 8:56 am
You sure browned those nicely.. .. We have been eating calzone recently from a local pizza restaraunt… will have to try this recipe..
Linda On Monday, June 25 at 8:57 am
Ree, there IS NO difference between a Calzone, Pizza Pocket or a Foldover: They are the same but for the American market the terms pizza pocket and foldover were used as a descriptive name as a selling point: It is hard to sell something when people don't know what it is.
Your Calzone/Pocket/Foldover looks so yummy. Thank you for sharing.
Sarah B. On Monday, June 25 at 9:30 am
No there is a difference.
Calzones have ricotta cheese in them. No Ricotta, not a calzone. at least everywhere that I've had them. Stromboli and pizza pockets are essentially the same.
They are all fantastically wonderful though.
Martha in KS On Monday, June 25 at 6:20 pm
Per Wikipedia – "CALZONES – is a turnover or folded pizza. It is shaped like a half-moon and made of bread dough. The calzone is folded over and filled with ingredients common to pizza. The typical calzone is stuffed with tomato and mozzarella, and may include other ingredients that are normally associated with pizza toppings."
The calzones that I buy at a local pizza place have pepperoni, mushrooms, mozzarella & red sauce in them – no ricotta.
A time-saving tip on using these frozen rolls (my favorite kind) – you can let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight in a plastic bag. They won't rise until you set them out at room temp.
Weatherlass On Monday, June 25 at 9:02 am
Looks yummy!! Think I'll try one with artichoke hearts and spinach. Maybe I'll even put some garlic flavored cheese spread in with the ricotta. Thanks for the idea!!!
Jenny Flake On Monday, June 25 at 9:02 am
I am tempted to ditch my laptop and make some breakfast calzones ASAP Looks fabulous REE! xoxo
kdwilson On Monday, June 25 at 9:04 am
Wow! I think I just found out what is for dinner tonight. They look so yummy!
baa On Monday, June 25 at 9:04 am
Yum !! I love calzones. I make them with my pizza dough recipe only changing the amount of water in the original recipe with 1/2 water + 1/2 milk.
And I don't brush them with egg yolks. I put them in the oven as they are and rub some butter on them when they are out. Just a tip
Tricia On Monday, June 25 at 9:07 am
I make a version of this when I am in a pinch timewise… I use the biscuits that come in a can, the ones that pop open… just follow the rest of the directions… they come out great. My family LOVES this quick easy meal.
Madeleine On Monday, June 25 at 9:08 am
Yum, these look delicious and fun to make! For the whole calzone vs. pizza pocket thing, is a panzerotti the same too? Never knew the difference.
Bev @ Bev Cooks On Monday, June 25 at 9:10 am

Grace O'Malley On Monday, June 25 at 9:25 am
I am a HUGE Rhode's Frozen Bread Dough fan. We get the frozen rolls and use them to make individual pizzas, calzones like yours (we call them Stuffles), and Indian Fry Breads. They are delicious when they are rolled out and fried in oil on both sides, then topped with cheddar cheese, salsa, lettuce, green onions and sour cream. There are all sorts of things you can do with Rhodes dough. You should have a contest to see what kinds of recipes your readers like to use them for. I bet Rhodes would even throw a good prize in too!
Jennifer E. On Monday, June 25 at 9:26 am
Thank you for the idea of using frozen bread dough (I prefer the chewy type of crust to thin crisp cust, so this would be a great idea for pizza too!). I loved Calzones since I first had one at a mall food court many, many, many years ago. They are great for me since they usually do not have the sauce in them. I don't like pizza sauce, so I love to get a Calzone and then some Ranch dressing to dip the bites in. Thank you!!
Amanda On Monday, June 25 at 9:39 am
Now that looks delicious! It's definitely some man food too which would work great in my house!
Jillian in Italy On Monday, June 25 at 9:41 am
Have you ever tried panzerotti? They are like little deep fried calzones and they are delicious! I know the best place in Milan to get them if you're ever there (behind La Scala!).
Lynn J On Monday, June 25 at 9:59 am
I can't wait to try these, Yum.
Jamie @ green beans & grapefruit On Monday, June 25 at 10:01 am
I know plenty of people who would love these. Thanks for sharing!
Riley On Monday, June 25 at 10:03 am
This is great! I'm adding these to the dinner menu this week!
Holly On Monday, June 25 at 10:07 am
These look great! Reminds me of the german hamburgers I used to make with cabbage added to the hamburger/sausage mixture.
SarahW On Wednesday, June 27 at 12:43 pm
We used to call those Russian Hamburgers. LOVE those. My mom would make a double batch of dough and on the first night we'd have Russian Hamburgers and on the second night, piggies in a blanket. Loved the food my mother would make. We'll have to make those together as we're visiting with the grandkids this week. Thanks for reminding me of those!
laura @ hollywood housewife On Monday, June 25 at 10:11 am
These look amazing and great to serve a large group! I'll be making these next week at our July 4 family get together. Thanks!
Gail On Monday, June 25 at 10:11 am
How did you know JUST what my kids (and me!) want for dinner tonight? And how did you know that I am not going to muck around with making pizza dough when the temperature today is in the high 90s? And that I don't want to go to more than one store for the ingredients for a single recipe. Seriously, are you psychic? Thanks for another winner.
Jackie On Monday, June 25 at 10:26 am
YUM! Have you ever tried making these on the grill in the summertime (sometimes it's just too hot to turn on the oven)? Would that work with the egg? Perhaps I'll just crank the AC tonight and make these for dinner!
Crissa On Monday, June 25 at 3:04 pm
I have the same question regarding the grill. This past weekend we grilled homemade pizza for the first time and LOVED it. I think this weekend we will try the calzones — i'll let you know if it works.
becky On Monday, June 25 at 11:12 am
i am going to add extra veggies,i.e. mushrooms, peppers, spinach, and add cottage cheese instead of ricotta. it all sounds delicious. can't wait till dinner!
Mary P On Monday, June 25 at 11:21 am
Yummy!! We make pepperoni bread at our house. So good!!
Elaine Roark On Monday, June 25 at 11:22 am
I love the Rhodes rolls. I never thought to use them for a calzone. Love this recipe. I will definitely try these. Thank you for all the great recipes!
marcia On Monday, June 25 at 11:31 am
When my oldest son was a dedicated BMX racer, I would make these to take to the race track. Our track was in a drippy, cold, horse arena and the kids raced on a track of horse manure and sawdust. We were the envy of the other folks who were eating grey luke-warm weany sandwiches. You just brought back great memories!
Denise On Monday, June 25 at 11:33 am
A few things: I don't like egg wash, not sure why but these come out just fine without it.
Also, premade pizza dough works great too, or homemade dough if you have more time than money and finally,I always spray cooking spray on foil and place on that, it definitely helps with clean up. These can leak if you are as sloppy as me so a rimmed sheet is good if you don't want to clean up your oven afterwards!
I love the idea of mixing the sausage right in with the ricotta. We never make sausage ones, I think I will. I often add satueed mushrroms and then olives to hubby's, his fave.
I do grilled veggies in mine to save fat and calories.
Donna On Monday, June 25 at 11:35 am
…stuff dreams are made of….I could live off Pizza and Mexican…but alas…I am trying to do low-carb….give a girl a little help here!! Meat, meat, more meat with some cheese and a few veggies….oh, and you can throw in a few eggs!! Thanks!
janmaus On Wednesday, June 27 at 9:42 am
Off topic, but you could make a really thin omelet by cooking it at low temp on a large skillet, dump the filling on topand fold it around the filling–if you cook it slowly, the cheese would heat up and melt before the eggs got too crispy,
Britt On Thursday, July 12 at 12:35 pm
I made these calzones last night for dinner and had a little bit of leftover filling…. which the hubby and I just used this morning to make the most fantastic omelets (and we make lots)! We put the filling in the center of the eggs, topped it with some fresh baby spinach, some diced tomatoes, and a bit of green onion. Very tasty and under 300 calories if you're on a diet!
Nancy McM On Monday, June 25 at 11:52 am
These look yummy! I have actually made calzones using the PW pizza dough recipe instead of the frozen rolls. They turned out totally delicious!
Caralyn @ glutenfreehappytummy On Monday, June 25 at 12:01 pm
that looks so delicious! i love calzones — so hearty and yummy! GF of course:)
Melanie On Monday, June 25 at 12:05 pm
Oh. My! Thank you for dinner tomorrow night!
DessertForTwo On Monday, June 25 at 12:36 pm
What a fabulous idea to use dinner rolls! Loooove this!
Julie Phelps On Monday, June 25 at 12:41 pm
Thanks! Now that is worth heating up the kitchen for.
Plus, that will be fun to do WITH my granddaughters. They can break eggs despite being girls. Girls rock!
And dontcha just love those Rhodes bread things?
So here is my current dilemma: I cannot locate any sweet and spicy pickles for the potato salad. I live in a small rural community in the middle of Missouri. Rarely do I venture into Kansas City where shopping abundance beckons. So sad am I.
AngAK On Monday, June 25 at 2:06 pm
just add some cayenne pepper or your hot sauce of choice to a jar of sweet or bread and butter pickles. done.
Karen Dietrich On Monday, June 25 at 12:42 pm
You made my mind up as to what I;m making for dinner Now time to go to the wal-marts
Kathy On Monday, June 25 at 1:36 pm
This really cries out for pizza dough, which you can get in the grocery store or local pizza place. There's a huge difference in taste and texture. I really appreciate this easy recipe because I don't like a lot of ricotta so I change the ingredients and amounts easily. Thanks, Ree!
Nancy @ CouponClippingCook On Monday, June 25 at 1:40 pm
Ultra Yum. These look so good. Love how small they are too! I think I may start to crave these any minute now.
Roberta On Monday, June 25 at 1:44 pm
This is how I make my pepperoni rolls too! Rhodes bread, hormel pep, etc. They are so yummy and I've been craving them or calzone so this must be a sign! Sometimes I also mix a paket of Good Seasons Italian dressing with some olive oil and brush the tops before baking. It is a nice flavor kick and looks pretty too!
Beth Ezidro On Monday, June 25 at 1:51 pm
Looks so good and easy I will have to make this for my family thank you for sharing this with us!!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes On Monday, June 25 at 2:15 pm
These look so enticing! Love it!
White On Monday, June 25 at 2:17 pm
The instructions were: "Remove several rolls from the bag and place them on a baking sheet. Then just cover them with a towel and let them thaw and rise for two or three hours."
I see eight rolls on that sheet.
Later: "The rolls are risen!"
Now I see eleven rolls…
Sandy in the Black Hills On Monday, June 25 at 2:41 pm
This looks soooooooooooooo yummy. I've used the bread dough for crust before and found that if you let the dough rest a bit after the first rolling, it will relax and roll a little easier the second attempt. Lovin" this site………………..Sandy from the Woods LOL ;o)
Paul Kalemkiarian On Monday, June 25 at 2:51 pm
Can't wait to try these out this week…they look so delicious. I'm thinking I'll pair it with a straight Chianti. Not a reserve and not a classico. I think the bright Sangiovese will counteract the cheese and compliment the marinara sauce.
dom On Monday, June 25 at 2:56 pm
anyone have any suggestions with freezing? I'd like to make some and freeze so that I can pull out of the freezer and bake later…but i'm wondering if that'll work because of all the cheese? any advice would be much appreciated!
Saffron G On Monday, June 25 at 3:12 pm
They look lovely, you should try a Cornish Pasty, oh my!
marcia On Tuesday, June 26 at 12:40 pm
Oooh yes indeed! That was my other portable feast for BMX races. Pasties rock! with a warm brick in the lunchbox. Its also the only thing I eat catsup on.
Laura in Tally On Monday, June 25 at 3:38 pm
I spy a partial self-portrait of PW in the pepper shot!
Shawn Sisler On Monday, June 25 at 4:00 pm
I make these too, and when I want to make two different kinds I just chop up the pepperoni and mix it into half of the cheese mix… easy peasy.
Jenifer On Monday, June 25 at 4:19 pm
These look really good. Even the husban who is reading over my shoulder thinks so!
Do the filled calzones need to be on a greased or ungreased cooking sheet?
Wilda On Monday, June 25 at 6:02 pm
Is it possible to make several of these, freeze them and bake them later? Please advise, thank you.
Jo-Anne On Monday, June 25 at 6:05 pm
The end result looks more like a pastie to me……………..
Pamella On Monday, June 25 at 6:07 pm
I'll add my request for freezing suggestions. These would be perfect for all the middle of the night food raids that occur in my house. Teenage boys. Who knew they were bottomless pits? Can't wait to try these.
Barbara Ann On Monday, June 25 at 6:47 pm
As I type, I am enjoying a mouthful of these fabulous calzones…mmmmmmm. With that said…
The ingredient list is easy peasy and all went swimmingly until the actual rolling out/stuffing/crimping. What I thought would take me 30 min to do the whole thing (minus rise time and cook time) took me double that + a little more. I'm no expert in the kitchen by any means, and I probably work slower than 90% of the cooks here. But geez, this was time consuming! I feel a little defeated, to be honest. But the end result is very tasty and I know my 3 ravenous boys will love them come dinner time. I don't think this recipe will go into my rotation due to the time factor.
Rachel G On Monday, June 25 at 7:01 pm
I made calzones tonight but I have zucchini and crookneck squash coming out my ears so I used Classico roasted red pepper alfredo and put 1 tbl of that (for the mini ones) I cut up and sauteed zucchini crookneck squash, red onion and fresh basil and used a mozzarella/provolone blend already shredded cheese from sargento. Turned out yummy
Priscilla A On Monday, June 25 at 8:23 pm
This is going on this week's menu for my hubby who loves calzones! Gonna throw in some veggies like fresh tomatoes and mushrooms! Mmmmm, my mouth is watering…
Rachel Reeves On Monday, June 25 at 8:30 pm
Oh, this is TOO perfect. I love it and plan on making it this coming weekend for my main squeeze!
Thank you for the recipe, Ree!
Danie On Monday, June 25 at 8:39 pm
Ha! This is a regular at our house. We had it friday night and made extra to reheat for the rest of the weekend. We cookied it on our pizza stone and sprinkled garlic and herb seasoning on the egg wash. Yum. We use basil from our garden in it, and mix spinach with the ricotta, too. So many variations.
Princessfrito On Monday, June 25 at 9:02 pm
Yumm! Made these tonight and they were a hit with all my peeps! Added some chopped red bell pepper with the ricotta mixture to add a little crunch. . . Will make these OFTEN! Who new! So easy!
Holliegirl On Monday, June 25 at 9:46 pm
Have you ever done the fried version of these?? I used to work at a small pizza joint in the town I grew up in and we served fried pizza's. Same basic principle but we put pizza sauce in ours and up to 3 toppings of your choice. You HAVE to make sure the sides are rolled together and pinched completely closed…you ain't lived till you've had one bust open in the deep fryer.. LOL! (not that I was guilty of that a time or two) Anyhoo.. they are awesome, one of my most favorite things altho due to the fact its fried I don't make them often but on occasion I make them for my family.
Lynna On Monday, June 25 at 11:15 pm
I ask myself the same question about calzones and pizzas. LOL This looks so good! calzones are easy and tasty to make!
Jane On Monday, June 25 at 11:55 pm
Not gonna lie – I'm disappointed that you used pre-made dough. They look great, but making the dough isn't hard.
Kristi On Monday, July 9 at 12:27 pm
The title of the recipe says "EASY Calzones". That's the whole point of her using frozen bread dough. Ree makes her own dough in several of her recipes. Not everyone has time to do that, probably including her from time to time. Some of us work and would like a fun, quick dinner that is ready before 8:00 pm! It's a recipe…you can change it however you want..
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar On Tuesday, June 26 at 5:03 am
Oh my! These rock my world!
Bryan On Tuesday, June 26 at 5:52 am
Hate to critique a PW recipe, but (to me) there should be no egg in the filling.
Teresia S. On Friday, July 13 at 11:01 am
Thank you, Bryan! I purposely read through all the comments to see if anyone else thought the same thing as me! I am originally from Brooklyn NY but have found a NYC transplant pizzeria in Houston that rocks and I eat a calzone at least once a week. I get the plain cheese calzone – there is no egg in calzones! Yuck!!
Mary! On Tuesday, June 26 at 8:11 am
Yay…we are making these tonight!
Paula On Tuesday, June 26 at 8:25 am
Although I'm seeing this now, I actually made a version of these last night. Except I was trying to use up leftovers from graduation, so I made mine with black forest ham and swiss cheese, along with some chopped up onions and peppers. Probably more of a stromboli than a calzone, but the point is, the concept is extremely versatile! I've also made them with leftover spicy chicken, black beans, and pepper jack cheese. And I've made them for breakfast with scrambled eggs, chopped bacon, peppers and onions.
Misha On Tuesday, June 26 at 10:38 am
jenn On Tuesday, June 26 at 10:57 am
They look delish! I am always looking for easy recipes that the kids can help with. These are simple, versatile and convenient. We go through an insane amount of hot pockets, but as with everything else, they are shrinking in size but going up in price. I will be making these this week and letting the kids decide what to put in theirs. Thanks again.
Christian Love On Tuesday, June 26 at 10:59 am
They are risen indeed!! ( apologies, couldn't help it )
Carrie On Tuesday, June 26 at 1:01 pm
Ree ~ these look absolutley delicious. Thank you for the idea of using frozen dough, as a working ~ single mom of 5 ~ this mom needs all the short-cuts and help she can get to get dinner on the table. So many options, with a recipe like this ~ it sure is easy to keep everyone happy. Thank you for sharing.
Robyn On Tuesday, June 26 at 1:59 pm
I see these in my future…I think I'll make a batch and freeze them for after I have my baby!
Stephanie Cole On Tuesday, June 26 at 2:03 pm
these look so good! i think i will make pepperoni and bacon!!!
Sheila On Tuesday, June 26 at 3:04 pm
Oh, these look good. Will have to wait to turn on oven when temperature is NOT 110 degrees (like it is today in my neck of Oklahoma).
Raquel On Tuesday, June 26 at 3:27 pm
Mmmm I shouldn't be reading this as I'm starving… those look AMAZING!
J Harrell On Tuesday, June 26 at 5:23 pm
My family does something similar to this for deep dish pizza, usually with a whole loaf of frozen dough per pizza. It comes out delicious
marian On Tuesday, June 26 at 10:10 pm
Did you want to say, "They are risen indeed!" after "The rolls are risen!" ? (I couldn't resist it in my head while reading, but decided it's a little irreverent : )
leemz On Wednesday, June 27 at 4:01 am
It really is simple and easy. I'm gonna give it a try, God willing.
Kat On Wednesday, June 27 at 6:36 am
Guess what my next cooked meal will be?? This is awesome Ree! Thank you….very much. I see a side trip to the store on my way home from work today. :o)
Rachelle D On Wednesday, June 27 at 8:14 am
Hey PW! Thanks so much for this idea. I had our neighbor's girls (3) over last night to join my three for make your own pizzas and a movie. I used your idea, just let them flatten the rolls into small round pizzas. They got to add the sauce and toppings. The kids loved it and gobbled up their pizzas! I've used these rolls for years, but never this way and I just love it! Thanks again!
Alicia D On Wednesday, June 27 at 9:18 am
Can you use Pillsbury dough? I have some Pillsbury fridge french bread and biscuits…

Hi All
I have a GA-K8NXP-SLI mobo and a GV-3D1 (dual 6600 GT (i.e. two GPUs on a single card)) that I bought as a bundle deal. My box is dual-boot XP and Slack 10.1, and I have been using kernel 188.8.131.52 and the 7167 nvidia driver to play ut2k4 with no problems.
I have a question about SLI with this card. In Windows, the driver is fooled into thinking there is an SLI setup to get the dual GPU thing to work. If the correct nForce4 SLI chipset is recognised, the SLI tab becomes available in the driver settings. (http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...3&id=1390&pg=4)
How do I get the same effect with the Linux driver and the nvidia-settings tool that comes with the driver? I don't see any special NVreg commands in the driver README.txt.
Can anybody point me in the right direction with this? I have looked at nvidia's knowledgebase without any luck.
Re: Gv-3d1
unfortunately the current NVIDIA Linux drivers do not, yet support SLI configurations much less hackerish SLI configurations... there is no ETA on when we will see SLI support...just have to wait and watch over these forums for now.

Lecture Outline - Biodiversity and Conservation Biology
I. Central Case: Saving the Siberian Tiger
A. Up until the past 200 years, tigers roamed widely across the Asian continent from Turkey to northeast Russia to Indonesia.
B. Of the tigers that still survive, in small pockets of their former range, those in the subspecies known as the Siberian tiger are the largest cats in the world.
C. For thousands of years, the Siberian tiger coexisted with the native people of what is today the Russian Far East, who equated the tiger with royalty and viewed it as a guardian.
D. The Russians who moved into and exerted control over the region in the early to mid-20th century had no cultural traditions that expressed respect for the animal, leading to the decline of the species.
E. International conservation groups began to get involved, working with Russian biologists to try to save the dwindling tiger population.
F. Today, the Siberian tiger population is up to roughly 330 to 370, and 600 more survive in zoos around the world.
II. Our Planet of Life
A. What is biodiversity?
1. Biological diversity, or biodiversity, is the sum total of all organisms in an area.
2. Biodiversity takes into account the diversity of species, their genes, their populations, and their communities.
B. Biodiversity encompasses several levels of life= s organization.
1. Species diversity is expressed in terms of the number or variety of species in the world or in a particular region.
a. Taxonomists, the scientists who classify species, use an organism= s physical appearance and genetic makeup to determine to which species it belongs.
b. Speciation, the generation of new species, adds to species diversity, while extinction decreases species diversity.
c. Biodiversity exists below the species level in the form of subspecies.
2. Genetic diversity encompasses the differences in DNA composition among individuals within a given species.
a. Whether genetic diversity is extremely minor or great enough to warrant subspecies status, such diversity has repercussions for the well-being of a species in at least two major ways.
b. First, as a species becomes adapted to local environmental conditions, its genetic diversity may decrease.
- 1 -
c. In the long term, species with more genetic diversity have better chances of persisting, because their built-in variation better enables them to cope with environmental change.
3. Ecosystems diversity, community diversity, habitat diversity, and landscape diversity are all ways to view biodiversity.
C. Measuring biodiversity is not easy.
D. You may be able to help measure biodiversity where you live.
E. Global biodiversity is not distributed evenly.
III. Biodiversity Loss and Species Extinction
A. Extinction occurs when the last member of a species dies and the species ceases to exist, in contrast, the extinction of a certain population from a given are, but not the entire species globally, is called extirpation.
B. Extinction is a natural process.
1. Most extinctions preceding the appearance of humans have occurred one by one, at a rate that paleontologists refer to as the background rate of extinction.
C. Earth has experienced five previous mass extinction episodes.
D. Humans set the sixth mass extinction in motion years ago.
E. Current extinction rates are much higher than normal.
1. To keep track of the current status of endangered species, the World Conservation Union (IUCN) maintains the Red List.
F. Biodiversity loss involves more than extinction.
G. There are several major causes of biodiversity loss:
1. Habitat alteration
2. Invasive species
3. Pollution
4. Overharvesting
5. Climate change
H. Causes of biodiversity loss can be difficult to determine.
IV. Benefits of Biodiversity
A. Biodiversity provides ecosystem services free of charge.
B. Biodiversity helps maintain ecosystem function.
C. Biodiversity enhances food security.
D. Biodiversity provides traditional medicines and high-tech pharmaceutical products.
E. Biodiversity provides economic benefits through tourism and recreation.
F. People value and seek out connections with nature.
1. E.O. Wilson described the phenomenon of biophilia, A the connections that human beings subconsequently seek with the rest of life.@
G. Do we have an ethical responsibility to prevent species extinction?
- 2 -
V. Conservation Biology: The Search for Solutions
A. Conservation biology arose in response to biodiversity loss.
1. Conservation biology is a scientific discipline devoted to understanding the factors, forces, and processes that influence the loss, protection, and restoration of biological diversity.
B. Conservation biologists work at multiple levels.
C. Island biogeography theory is a key component of conservation biology.
1. Much of modern conservation biology is based on the equilibrium theory of island biogeography.
D. Should endangered species be the focus of conservation efforts?
1. Currently, the primary legislation for protecting biodiversity in the United States is the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
E. Single-species approaches include captive breeding, reintroduction efforts, and cloning.
1. Zoos and botanical gardens have become centers for the captive breeding of endangered species, so that large numbers of individuals can be raised and then reintroduced into the wild.
F. Some species act as A umbrellas@ for protecting habitat and communities.
G. International conservation efforts include widely signed treaties.
1. The 1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Floar (CITES) protects endangered species by banning the international transport of their body parts.
2. In 1992, the leaders of many nations agreed to the Convention on Biological Diversity, a treaty outlining the importance of conserving biodiversity, using it sustainably, fairly distributing its benefits, and committing signatory nations to conserving this diversity.
H. Biodiversity hotspots pinpoint areas of high diversity.
1. Biodiversity hotspots are areas that support an especially great diversity of species, particularly species that are endemic to the area.
I. Community-based conservation is increasingly popular.
1. Many conservation biologists actively engage local people in efforts to protect the land and wildlife in their own backyards, in an approach called community-based conservation.
J. Innovative economic strategies are being employed.
VI. Conclusion
A. The erosion of biological diversity threatens to result in a mass extinction event equivalent to the major ones of the geological past.
B. The primary causes of biodiversity loss include habitat alteration, invasive species, pollution, and overharvesting.
C. Many conservation biologists are rising to the challenge with traditional and innovative strategies to save endangered species and their habitats.

text: Congressional Leaders Question Efficacy of E-Verify, Call for Change By Aliah D. Wright 7/28/2009 Permissions Calling E-Verify a "half-hearted and flawed" system on July 21, 2009, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Immigration, echoed the sentiments of thousands of U.S. employers who, like Schumer, support a federal electronic employment verification system that would improve on or replace the existing E-Verify system. House members at a separate hearing on government management listened intently two days later as federal officials defended E-Verify and outlined myriad changes to the voluntary program, including the addition of a photo tool. E-Verify began in 1997. Yet, it has proved ineffective in preventing unauthorized employment, according to the Human Resource Initiative for a Legal Workforce (HR Initiative), of which the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is a member. SHRM submitted comments on behalf of the HR Initiative during hearings in the House and Senate. Tackling Identity Theft On July 8, 2009, the Senate adopted an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2010 Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill that would require federal contractors to use E-Verify. The amendment, sponsored by Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., represents the most recent attempt by Congress to show its support for mandating the use of E-Verify by all federal contractors. In 2008, then-President George W. Bush proposed an executive order that would have put such a mandate in place, but implementation was delayed after several groups, including SHRM and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, mounted a legal challenge against the government that remains pending. The two sides in the lawsuit have set Aug. 16, 2009, as the deadline to respond to motions filed with the district court. "Despite the best efforts of the men and women who administer this program in the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) department, E-Verify's continued reliance on outdated technology and error-prone databases render it inadequate to meet the needs of mandated use," the HR Initiative stated in a release. "In fact, we believe mandating its use would divert attention from the development of the state-of-the art employment verification system, as embodied in the New Employment Verification Act (NEVA). "NEVA … would create an entirely electronic process to prevent identity theft and ensure a fair, efficient and secure verification process, and could eliminate virtually all unauthorized employment—thereby taking away a huge incentive for illegal immigration," the initiative states. One of the biggest problems with E-Verify is its inability to detect identity fraud. The Social Security Administration has said that Social Security numbers are meant to create records for benefits—not to be a means of employment identification, David A. Rust noted during one of the hearings. Rust is deputy commissioner for the Social Security Administration's Office of Retirement and Disability Policy, whose agency oversees the administration of the nation's social insurance programs. Any applicant can present stolen Social Security numbers, fake certificates and fraudulently obtained photo IDs to bypass the system and gain employment, the HR Initiative points out. This is what was discovered during the 2006 raids at several Swift & Co. meatpacking plants. All of the hundreds of employees arrested at the plants were found to have used false identities or forged paperwork. All were approved by E-Verify. Winds of Change Gerri Ratliff, deputy associate director of the National Security and Records Verification Directorate at USCIS, which oversees E-Verify's records division, acknowledged before members of the House subcommittee meeting on July 23, 2009, that fraud is a problem. "We cannot today catch every form of identify fraud," she testified during the hearing, after Diane E. Watson, D-Calif., chairwoman of the House's Government Management, Organization, and Procurement Subcommittee, asked what the "breakdown" was during the Swift incident. Ratliff noted that the federal government has made changes to E-Verify—most notably adding a photo tool so employers can double-check photos against a government database. "We're planning next year [in 2010] to put in the U.S. passport photos, but the biggest document used for the form I-9 is the driver's license." However, no state has volunteered to let the government access its driver's license records database for this purpose. Not everyone holds a passport or driver's license. Ratliff said USCIS is monitoring for duplicate Social Security numbers, working with the Immigration Customs Enforcement division and exploring adding a biometric component, such as fingerprints, to E-Verify. While introducing a biometric component has raised privacy and security concerns, it is a solution supported by Schumer as well as the HR Initiative. "Simply put," Schumer stated, "it is not difficult for illegal workers to scam the [E-Verify] system by providing the personal information of a legal worker." He said a "non-forgeable" biometric identifier is necessary to authenticate the identities of potential employees. "We commend Senator Schumer for his vision and leadership—and for providing a much-needed spotlight on the problems with E-Verify," said Michael Aitken, SHRM's director of government affairs. "The HR Initiative has previously endorsed a voluntary use of biometrics as embodied in H.R. 2028, the 'New Employment Verification Act,' and will support similar measures in the Senate."According to USCIS, a half-million U.S. worksites use E-Verify voluntarily, out of 7.2 million employers in the United States. Studies show the system verifies about 97 percent of potential employees, prevents the employment of 2 percent who are in the U.S. illegally and rejects erroneously about 1 percent because of database errors.

Nice buffet lunch!
Had been today with my friends to this place. THough i did not have great expectation, the taste was good. The buffet (329+tax which get to about 400 per head) is a little over priced, not too expensive. Ambiance and service gets 2 stars. Taste of Food and the choice gets 1.5 stars.

Taste of Rampur, Improved apparently..
I haven't been to this restaurant, but one rainy evening, i was jonesing for some mutton tandoori chops and nobody else in this area delivers anything like it. And so, with some trepidation ( because of the less than stellar reviews on burrp) I ordered a tandoori chaap, a black daal and some roomali rotis.
The mutton was great, the black daal was not too bad, although needs some work, the roomalis were good..
i also tried their mirchi ka salan to complement some biriyani I had at home - the salan was excellent, large mirchis stuffed with paneer in a delightful gravy.
I have eaten better, but overall, i am quite satisfied, and definitely get the impression that the management her seems to be energized and working on this place.
Will try some other items over the next month and report back..
Not worth the money!
Had been here this saturday night with my wife and three friends for a dinner with good expectations after visiting thier koramangala hotel.
Need to say it was too expensive for the quality. The hara bara kabab was all paste! lassi was all water and sugar, the dal was burnt, the rice was hard etc etc.
I think its become a fashion in bangalore to have good ambience and serve bad food.
@hotel management: pull up ur socks guys, give attention to food more than ambience.

Worst Restaurant in terms of service and quality
I had really a very bitter experience dining here in Indiranagar Taste of Rampur... First of all they pushed us for Ala Carte.. Eventually we accepted as there is lot of choice... Most DISTURBING thing was that we found SOME INSECT IN THE FOOD... Even after complaining about it, nothing has ever happened...They have just removed the plate... The whole Birthday Party feel was Spoiled...Moreover they are charging like hell and it surely isn't worth it with the quality of food they serve...I would NEVER PREFER this restaurant again in my lyfe...

We had been planning to try this restaurant for some time but, somehow always missed it. We finally made it there yesterday but, the food and service was highly disappointing. We didn't opt for buffet as we were not very hungry and opted for a la-carte. The waiter was very disappointed and kept pursuing us to go for buffet. When we firmly told him no he noted down our order. The dishes we ordered:
1. Butter Chicken ( it had some fancy name in their menu makhanwala murgh): PATHETIC!! I mean who serves butter chicken in a tomato gravy with tikka pieces in it!!!
2. Paneer Lababdar: It was edible as this was the only option we had after that tasteless chicken.
3. Dum Chicken Biryani: Awesome!! This was one dish that I would recommend to have if one ever goes to this restaurant.
I wouldn't recommend anyone to go this restaurant as it has nothing extra ordinary and has nothing amazing to offer. I would rather to go Barbecue Nation which is opposite and have 1000 times tastier food for same amount. This place is totally not worth the money. The service is damn slow too. Took them 15 minutes to just get our bill.

Not worth the money
We ,a group of 6 visited this place on a friday afternoon for a lunch buffet for 399+taxes. The place was so very crowded, they served the cold palak soup after repeated reqyests.While most of the dish containers were empty waiting to be refilled ,the choice for vegetarians not great . There was no place to stand and serve our food.We were made to wait for the desserts which was disappointing with beetroot halwa, keer and jamoon . The staff was irritating to say the least, interrupting us for every 5 mins if we want to order any drink etc.
Definitely not worth 440 bucks!!

Taste of Spoiled Meat
We went for team lunch to this restaurant on Oct/11/2011. Lunch was not good, Mutton curry was terribly bad (Meat was spoiled/rotten), Even chicken items were not good. Only veg and dessert were good. Restaurant is costly and not worth, quality is not good, Will never visit again. Bye.

Surprisingly OK
A very bad traffic experience for a proper lounging mood led to big hunger led to us just eat at whatever was next to us. We were expecting the most ordinary food, but it was just a little above that. The decor is much better than the old one but ordinary to any other Indian restaurant.
For the food, the starters were decent, one dish the 'hara mattar sheekh kebab' was outstanding,new to the palate and respect to that dish. Others not so much.
For the Main course, everything is just simple and ordinary but the breads are really very good. Their special Rampur roti(I hope thats the name) was amazing. They will recommend the rampur yellow dal but thats just regular heavy on garlic daal.
The chicken biryani was high on the number of pieces (around 6-7) but poor on taste.
As for the service, its pretty good and was appreciated.
Dont make this one a planned night, but people near the place might just like it for a regular Indian food outing.

Nice place decent food
Had been here recently. Typical northindin restaurant. The menus are not extensive. There is no menu card for the mocktails though they give you a virgin mary. The food is decent and palatable and in good quantity. pretty crowded. We ordered alacarte though buffet was there. overall a nice place to eat
ratings 3/10
will visit again if i have no other options

Alternative servers and Apache techniques
Edge on the Web
This month we look at some alternative web servers and show you some smart Apache techniques.
Apache is the most popular web server in the world, with millions of installations around the planet serving up a huge portion of that information space we know as the World Wide Web. But Apache isn't the only HTTP server – or even the only open source HTTP server. Many admins prefer leaner, sleeker tools to the powerful, but full-figured, Apache.
This month we study a pair of open source alternative web servers. We start with a look at the fast and simple Hiawatha, which offers easy configuration and some interesting security features. Then we visit Nginx, a web server and reverse proxy system used on high-volume Internet sites such as Hula.com. You'll learn about the benefits of Hiawatha and Nginx, and we'll show you how to set up these alternative servers on your own network.
Then we turn our attentions back to Apache for the third article, which highlights some tips for speeding up web servers. We'll show you some important Apache directives that will help you get better performance, and we'll look at why these directives work and when additional speed might just cause additional problems.
The final article in this month's set examines how to organize a website with Server Side Includes. If you're restless for a new server, or if you're satisfied with Apache but are looking for some tips on design and performance, read on for our study of web servers with Linux.

Facial Implants
Facial implants can create a balanced, refined and youthful appearance to the face. Deficient cheek bones, a "weak chin" or hollow temples can be safely augmented with a permanent implant to provide a more pleasing and youthful facial contour.
Modern facial implants are made of flexible, inert materials that contour nicely with the underlying bone and tissue. Numerous sizes and shapes of implants are available to provide a result finely-tuned to your desires and your underlying facial shape and structure. These implants are well tolerated by the body. In every case, incisions can be hidden under the lip, in an existing skin crease or behind the hairline to help camouflage any incisions and create a natural result. Facial implants can be placed either in the office operating room or at an ambulatory surgery center. Surgery requires less than one hour unless combined with other procedures.
Schedule a consultation with Stephen Weber MD, FACS to discuss how to achieve the look you want with facial implants.

Have we become a society of victims with everyone seeking a way to be offended?
It seems we live in an age when most folks are looking for boogers under every bed. This rationale is not lost on readers of any newspaper. Editors have to be careful in this era of Political Correctness that they choose every word carefully in order not to offend some individual or group. Such was the case regarding two news items that appeared recently in Myrtle Beachs daily newspaper.
The editor felt compelled (unfairly I thought) to explain the use of a couple of words that appeared in the headlines of two news stories.
It seems that a story about the retirement of the Catholic Pope said simply: Pope Benedict to quit. The headline seemed legitimate to me. After all, the Pope did announce that he was giving up the job and retiring. The only thing unusual to me was that it was the first time this has happened in about 500 years. But apparently some readers thought the headline too curt and perhaps disrespectful and that another word except quit would have been more appropriate. But, actually, thats what the Pope did: He quit!
The editor explained the headline writing process of which I am intimately familiar. The headline to a story must succinctly tell the subject of the news article in a manner that will fit the space requirement for the headline. Thats why you see Xmas sometimes substituted for Christmas because the full word will not fit the space allotted but every year someone objects to that replacement. Simple enough, but apparently not so simple for some folks.
In another Myrtle Beach story listing the nominees for Teacher of the Year, the headline writer composed, Teachers shoot for yearly honor. It was a straight-forward headline but some readers were offended in the aftermath of the Newtown school massacre. Do they really believe that the writer was being insensitive to the school tragedy? If so, they are foolish.
Headline composition is a tedious job. As I said, a headline must be composed in a short sentence that tells what the article is about and this is often difficult to do within the confines of space. Its easier today than when I started years ago. Computers make it much easier to try out different fonts, spacing and lengths until you get the headline to fit. When I first composed headlines, the letters were individually handset and sometimes required much trial and error before you got it right. Oft times, printers had to take a little license when the editors headline would not fit. This often let to problems. For instance:
In the town where I was an editor, the owner of a concrete block factory was elected president of the Chamber of Commerce. The editors headline was, Concrete block owner named Chamber president. It would not fit so the printer, saddled with the job of making the headline fit, came up with: Block head named Chamber head. It ran that way much to the embarrassment of everyone concerned.
Through the years I have noted prime examples of headlines written with unintentional meanings. Unlike the Myrtle Beach headlines, here are some real examples of headline-writing malfeasance:
Federal agents raid gun shop; find weapons
Man Struck By Lightning Faces Battery Charge
New Study Of Obesity Looks For Larger test Group
Astronaut Takes Blame For Gas In Spacecraft
Kids Make Nutritious Snacks
5 Foot Boa Caught In Toilet; Woman Relived
Chef throws His heart Into Helping Feed Needy
Local High School Dropouts Cut In Half
Here's How You Can Lick Doberman's Leg Sores
Hospitals Are Sued By 7-Foot Doctors
Dentist Receives Plaque
Police Begin Campaign to Run Down Jaywalkers
Panda Mating Fails; Veterinarian Takes Over
Juvenile Court to Try Shooting Defendant
Cold Wave Linked to Temperatures
Red Tape Holds Up New Bridges
After taking a look at these examples of headlines gone wrong, I think the Myrtle Beach editor had no need to apologize for saying the Pope quit. Regardless of whatever word is inserted in a headline, in this PC world there will always be someone who claims they are offended.

Re: Travis Barker
I agree with Ledzepjb: Travis is a good drummer and definitely has some trained, solid chops. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that he had good teachers growing up.
That said, I do think he is very overrated as a rock/punk drummer, and bands like Blink 182 are a complete joke and not taken seriously by any serious student or fan of punk and hardcore music. I've said this before a couple of times on this forum already, but just go listen to Anthony "Bomer" Manzullo of RKL (Rich Kids on LSD), a massively influential hardcore/rock band from California in the early-to-late 1980s: Bomer's chops are stunning, his timing is incredible, he can do it all. I think people who praise Travis Barker and similar current punk drummers do have reason to do so--they are decent drummers--but I think that such folks also have poor historical knowledge and memory of the punk genre. Drummers like Earl Hudson of Bad Brains, Bomer, Brian Betzger of Boston's Jerry's Kids (early 1980s hardcore band), just to name a few, laid the foundations for super fast hardcore punk drumming, and each of these drummers could easily hold his own with, if not out perform, Travis and company.
So, that's my honest assessment of this issue, as someone who has been listening to and studying punk and hardcore music since the mid 1980s. Yes, Travis is good, but if you know your history, you will realize that he is nothing special at all.

DISCOVERING YOU, August 2008, by Alicja Zajac
Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth? If so, you were born into a wealthy family and don't have to work for a living.
A person who speaks eloquently, with confidence and ease, is said to be 'silver-tongued', whereas a 'silver-tongued devil' is someone who seemingly speaks with sincerity but is really being untruthful.
You may have had parents or grandparents tell you that they have 'earned' each of their silver hairs. Some say that the number of silver hairs one has represents the number of difficult experiences they have gone through in life and in raising their children. What do you think of that?
Have you heard the statement that to every cloud there is a silver lining? It's a gentle and creative reminder that there is a positive side to every seemingly negative situation, much like the saying "where one door closes, another is opened."
Whereas gold is said to be masculine and is represented by the sun, silver is associated with female energy and is symbolized by the moon. Silver is the cool, moonlit, luminous counterpart of white with a metallic shine. In Greek mythology, the Goddess Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo, the Sun God. Her symbol is the moon and she is said to hunt with silver bow and arrows. She stands for the feminine qualities of intuition and inner strength.
For many years, silver was traditionally given as a gift for weddings and anniversaries. This tradition is changing now as newlyweds tend to prefer more practical gifts that will help them to furnish their homes. Silver gifts continue to be symbolic of a couple's twenty fifth wedding anniversary.
As one of the quiet, cool colours, some say it lacks pizzazz while others feel it has a calming effect. Certainly it is more playful than its more somber sister, grey.
Visualize a moonlit night, with a glorious full moon lighting up the dark night sky. Below, fields of white daisies dazzle in its glow and on the serene lake in the distance, the moon's reflection looks like a molten silvery path that you would love to follow. What a dazzling, silver sight that makes!
Silver is beautiful and elegant and often rivals gold as the precious metal of choice in jewelry.
Dressing up? Try a pretty black dress, silver earrings and shoes, and a black handbag studded with silver rhinestones make an elegant statement. For a casual day with your BFFs, try faded jeans with a bright coloured top and a silver belt. Add some silver chandelier-style earrings to dress it up.
Wearing silver is said to draw negative energy away from the body, replacing it with positive energy. If you are tired or feeling cranky or upset, wear your silver necklace or pendant for a few days and feel the good energy begin to flow through you!
Are you experiencing writer's block? Can't seem to get inspired to finish that art project? Wear something silver, use a silver pen, keep your drawing pencils in a silver container or put photos in silver-coloured frames. Since some say that creative and artistic expression can be enhanced by using silver, why not give it a try?
Silver Facts:
- Classic movies dating from about the 1960's and beforeare said to be movies of the 'silver screen'.
- After testing 23 methods of purifying water, NASA chose silver as the purifying agent on the Space Shuttle program.
- Silver symbolizes purity and strength since it is not destroyed by fire.
- In ancient times, Greeks and Romans used silver containers to keep liquids fresh.
- Silver is associated with the moon, water and emotions.

(NBC News) The budget battle that has been brewing for months could be closer to an end.
Right now, House lawmakers are getting ready to vote on the bipartisan budget deal.
But conservatives are divided, threatening to pull away from Speaker John Boehner and vote against the plan.
It's a plan that would make sure the country avoids a government shutdown for at least the next two years.
The deal seems sure to pass but with neither side totally happy the bill is all about compromise.
"This is the first time in long time have had genuine compromise," said republican Congressman Tom Cole of Oklahoma.
The two year plan is a joint-effort between House Budget Chair Paul Ryan and Senate Budget Chair Patty Murray.
We both had to give and take, we found common ground," declared Ryan.
The agreement doesn't go as far. It is a compromise, said Murray.
Democrats complain the bill doesn't include the extension of jobless benefits.
"For 1.3 million Americans unemployment runs out three days after Christmas," said democratic Congressman Chris Van Hollen of Maryland
Meanwhile some republicans say it simply spends too much.
"I think we're on a trajectory right now where we will fiscally collapse," said Congressman Robert Pittenger of North Carolina.
Today House Speaker Boehner blasted conservatives and tea party republicans who are pushing back against his support for the compromise.
