I liked it a lot.
Ah cool. Might try and check it in the cinema before I leave this weekend.
That trailer for World War Z pisses me off. "Hey, I got an idea. Let's buy a license from the guy who A) wrote an entire book about zombies work and how to survive them and B) wrote another book that was an anthology story about a global zombie outbreak. Let's take that concept, and boil it down to one guy saving the world from fast CGI zombies. Then, we'll give it to the guy who directed Quantum of Solace" Fucking stupid. Am I the only one who remembers the entire chapter in the Zombie Survival Guide about how fast-zombies as a concept is just stupid and that only Romero zombies are cool? Ugh. I look forward to watching that.
Also, yeah, that CGI work is awful and the trailer music is the epitome of obnoxious.
Watched Skyfall , i enjoyed it, didn't like the last scene but it's worth watching.
Spoiler: Bond's name is James
World War Z could be awesome, but tidal wave thing with the zombies could be really hokey.
Also, the inception-ey music was a bad choice for the trailer.
I hope something better releases along it, else i'll end up with popcorn in a cinema watching this only!
Nightmare on Elmstreet 5.
It was better than I expected, and the effects were pretty decent but generally the plot didn't make a whole lot of sense and it felt like they shoe-horned in a whole bunch of ideas to keep it fresh that didn't really work all too well.
Spoiler!The backstory aspect especially, it just felt tacked on, as if they needed to add some depth to Krueger's character and couldn't come up with anything else but an evil baby origin story.
Watchable though.
I remember gathering a bunch of friends on high school, once per week, we would go to my house and watch a Nightmare on Elmstreet movie. Those we're fun times.
The movies are watchable as well as laughable and they are good to watch with friends arround
Nice. I started the first one right when they were setting up the traps around the camp. Once I realized the second one was next I knew what I was doing for the rest of the night.
Lincoln looks boring as shit, but I'll watch for Daniel.
Lincoln looks rad, but the mighty DDL is a definite strong factor in that. We'll see if I end up deciding to see Skyfall, and having no familiarity with it I have no idea what to think about Cloud Atlas.

Spiced Sweet Potato, Carrot, and Acorn Squash Latkes
Sweet potatoes, carrots, and acorn squash form a natural partnership--their flavors are complementary, but with enough variation to promise something a little more interesting than your typical root vegetable latke. Freshly grated ginger delivers a bright heat that cuts right through the vegetable base, which is rounded out with smoky paprika, a pinch of cumin, and some floral coriander. More

January 2013 Astro For All Signs
It's a New Year and the balance of power between the masculine and the feminine is grinding into action. We will see power struggles between our material and spiritual beliefs. The right use of power is what we are struggling to understand. Is it right when multi-billion dollar industries dictate what we eat, wear, say, think etc? The Collective Consciousness is waking up in everything and change is afoot! This month heralds a huge shift in global politics, structure and the way things have been done for too long, much of it without our knowledge. There is a great need rising up in people to be better, do better, help others and find meaning in their lives. You can see this is the movements that are sweeping our nation. Co-housing is happening, even in Omaha; this is where small communities are created that are multi-generational and sustainable; (Visit: www.Cohousing.org for more info about Papillion's new development). There is another movement gaining popularity called Guerilla Gardening. This is where a group of devoted gardeners arm themselves with plants, shovels, seeds and more and descend on an area that is ignored, neglected, or used for clandestine activities and they transform the area. This is helping poverty neighborhoods regain some pride in where they live and the results are amazing! (http://www.guerrillagardening.org/). Welcome to a time where grass roots passion will transform our world. We are in for decades of dramatic change, some of it horrific, and some unbelievable miracles! The key to handling this year, and our future, is to be extremely flexible and open to change for the better. Talk to your neighbors and your children, relax and stay focused on what is yours to do, find out what is yours to do. This month will have strong highs and lows and the possibility for great love and passion. We are remaking our lives/world, and we are all up to it!
ARIES-The New Moon in Capricorn on the 11th offers you a chance to show your worth and make some changes. It's a busy month with friends and hopefully no arguments, but Mars is in your friend sector and can highlight ego discussions. It would be better to use up some of that energy in contact sports. There will be radical changes in your life this year with some very lucky influences standing by to help. Relationships may be challenging in the autumn.
TAURUS-The New Year will be a mixed bag of stress and ease intermingling and it might make you a little irritable to be around at times. Just breathe; there is a strong focus at the New Moon on the 11th for you to expand your knowledge and to seek higher learning from a wise teacher. With Mars touring your career zone you could find people really appreciating your hard work and steady application, might be a good time to present some new ideas on where your company should be going. If you are unemployed this is a good month to find work.
GEMINI-The year begins with a happy attitude, fun with friends and great communications. Expect some form of increased financial support towards the end of the month. This is a month that can also challenge you to release old patterns and to make better/healthier choices. Busy, as you like it, contemplative sharing with others and a new friend or two on the horizon. Just don't overeat or overdo!
CANCER-Relationships and especially marriage partners will be your concern as we start the year. You may be thinking back over the year and wondering what it all means and where it is going. It's a pretty fast pace all month so just take some time to reflect as you will be undergoing major transformation thanks to Mars. Venus will help out towards the end of the month with all of your relationships, but it will light reading, nothing ever is when Pluto is around and he will be in this area for many more years. It's a good time to be honest about what you need with a partner.
LEO-The New Moon on the 11th is in your sign helping you to lay plans for who you want to be next! Leo's love changing roles and this is a good time to do that. The theme of the whole year for you will be healing, spiritual transformation and expanding your mind. This month may bring a new love into your life or re-charge an old one. There is some stress with authority, yours or another's and you will be communicating a lot, but keep that sharp tongue to yourself, make it peaceful.
VIRGO-All in all this is a pretty great month which is a precursor to a good year for all Virgos. There will be some challenges, there always are, but you are favored now. This month you will be appreciated for your gifts and possibly asked to do more at work because you are so capable now. The New Moon on the 11th lands in your achievement/career sector showing it is time to start something new. Home life is good this month and there will be lots of activity with children or creativity.
LIBRA-A great year is in store for all Libras who have been working towards their goals. This month will be lovely most of the time with just a little nudge here and there to stay on track and be your best self. There is much energy in your home area so you might want to do a little rearranging, moving, painting etc. Uranus in your partnership house could bring some unexpected activity between you and another, keep it peaceful.
SCORPIO-January will start a little better than December ended and hopefully you can mend a few fences now. Mars, one of your co-rulers is pretty strong on the home front this month and could cause a few arguments, it's much better to re-arrange furniture than argue, it's just energy, use it wisely. Work is sporadic and there is a mild caution to take your time and not hurry through things. You don't need any accidents.
SAGITTARIUS-A good year for Sagittarians to stand in their power and move forward! You are very attractive and charming this month thanks to Venus. There is a focus to get out and develop more of your talents and to even make more money. You will be working hard on that and maybe get a little help from a sibling or neighbor. Home is still undergoing much healing and hopefully you are being really creative and changing it around to suit your evolving self a little more comfortably.
CAPRICORN-With so many planets (Pluto, Mercury, and Sun & Venus) in your sign, the month shines a strong light on you. Your sterling character of seeing what needs to be done and doing it will be a rally call to your friends to step up their efforts at self improvement too! Be sure to keep up with any health concerns because Jupiter continues to be a strong influence for the better in that area, which means any little step you take to heal your body, will bring healing much faster!
AQUARIUS-Power packed! Mars and the Sun will have you super charged and the whole month is strong for you physically and mentally! Enjoy your loving friends at the beginning through mid-month. Your creativity is also very strong due to a Jupiter retrograde; dig around for some old art project you could finish now, or take a little vacation it will expand your mind. Everyday life is just full of unexpected pleasures and people for the whole year.
PISCES-Breathe in the beauty and joy of your life, it is all around you. This month will be filled with love, friends and great activity in your home. Remember to let go of the old, especially old friends that you have outgrown, so that the new friends have room in your life. Thanks to Venus, you will be seen as a beacon of love which is your natural state. Home is a haven but you may be thinking of moving. Saturn has been grounding your sweet spiritual nature as it gets ready to move into your career sector later this year…….this is groundbreaking for you! Much honor and fame will come your way from this.

Black-white Education Achievement Gap Is Worsened by Unresponsive State Policymakers, Baylor Study Shows
8/1/2013, 7:53 p.m.
WACO, Texas — State policymakers' attention to teacher quality — an issue that research shows is crucial to improving schooling outcomes for racial minority students — is highly responsive to low graduation rates among White students, but not among Blacks, according to a Baylor University study.
The findings are evidence that "the persisting achievement gap between white and Black students has distinctively political foundations," the researchers wrote.
The article, entitled "The Politic Foundations of the Black-White Education Achievement Gap," is published in the journal American Politics Research. It is co-authored by Patrick Flavin, Ph.D., an assistant professor of political science in Baylor's College of Arts & Sciences, and Michael Hartney, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Notre Dame.
The findings come nearly 60 years after Brown vs. the Board of Education, the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case aimed at promoting educational equality by declaring unconstitutional state laws that established separate public schools for Black and White students.
But the findings show that inequality persists when it comes to education reform.
"Instead of promoting equality of opportunity, America's system of K-12 education – which relies heavily on state and local control – may worsen political inequalities," the researchers wrote.
"It's when white students are doing poorly that you start seeing state legislators pass more controversial bills like linking teacher pay and evaluations to student test scores," Flavin said.
Surprisingly, even in states in which policymakers were more racially balanced, legislators were less responsive about closing the education gap, Flavin said.
"Whether analyzed at the policymaking level or the level of individual citizens' political attitudes, white students receive far more attention and subsequent response," he said.
For black policymakers, inaction might be related to the fact that they overwhelmingly tend to be Democrats – and teachers' unions contribute most of their campaign funding to Democrats, Flavin said.
The unions are "adamantly against linking teacher evaluations to test scores. They have other ideas they think would help, like reducing class sizes and improving resources for teacher professionalization."
Whites, meanwhile, are less likely to think an education gap exists or to see it as a priority. They also are less likely to think that the government has a responsibility to close a gap, the researchers found.
For the research, racial disparities in student outcomes were measured using National Assessment of Education Progress scores as well as high school graduation rates. While there was a period of dramatic improvement after the Brown v. Board decision up until early 1990s, the gap between the two racial groups has stagnated or even slightly increased since the early 1990s, according to the study.
To analyze state policymaking, the researchers measured 12 state-level reform policies tracked by the National Council on Teacher Quality. Those policies include such actions as paying teachers more for teaching in high-poverty schools (so-called "combat pay") and tying teacher pay to student achievement.
To analyze citizens' opinions on education, Flavin and Hartney used a variety of nationally representative public opinion polls and found that white citizens "only seem to be alarmed when white students' performance drops," Flavin said.
The study concludes by noting that the most recent and widespread efforts to address educational inequality have come not from state policymakers but rather from federal ones.
Those included the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act, which required states to document and report student test score data by racial and ethnic subgroups and, more recently, the "Race to the Top," a competitive grant program that makes willingness to decrease achievement gaps, particularly to increase minority students' access to highly effective teachers, a key factor for states to be awarded federal money.

What got you started playing drums?

Re: What made you want to play drums more than anything?
For me it began after failing in an astounding way at various wind instruments. I just didn't have the "it" that a person must have to be able. I think in some ways it was probably a lack of patience. I started banging around on upside down garbage cans when I was in the sixth grade and then re-joined the school band as a drummer. Snare drum parts seemed so easy. I had learned how to read music (somewhat) but then snare drum parts seemed so very easy. Of course that was a long time ago, with music that was simple but it just seemed like it worked.
Then I started getting more serious about my playing. I started to learn that drums were in fact an instrument and not just a beat.
From there it just became something I could not really live without. I mean, I was unhappy if I could not play. I was always looking for something to play and always looking to learn something new. I can remember learning rolls, learning how to let the sticks do the work, all of it was so much fun.
After a while I started playing a set and loved it even more. I can remember the days of garage bands (playing stuff from Sabbath, Zep, and then newer stuff like Ozzy (solo), Great White, Eagles, Scorpions, and Kiss. Anything rock, anything that felt good.
Today I have learned to love the fast drummers, the slow drummers, jazz drummers and latin drummers. I respect anyone who is in to what they do and works hard to grow. I know the question is what made you want to play drums, which I answered above, but I also know why I keep playing them.
I keep on playing because everything else goes away when I am playing. Work, girlfriend issues, life stresses. It all goes away and I find a place where it is just music. Just music and nothing else and as all of you know, there are just times when you find that place and it is absolutely perfect. Every song, every hit, all your chops and fills and grooves, they all just work. It's when you stop trying to drum and just play.....and as sentimental as all of that sounds, it is so very true.
It is like nothing else, and I have been changed for the better for picking up those sticks.

Lewis met up with us (and the rest of The Guild's cast members) back at BlizzCon, and it's good to see his star is.. rising? (we kid!) Keep an eye on the rest of the ads for the big game this Sunday night as well -- it looks like Coke has an online gaming reference coming with their "Avatar" ad, and considering how gigantic World of Warcraft is on TV lately, we may see some other sly winks towards our favorite game.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

So when it comes to losing stomach fat there's only one drink that should be in your arsenal. That drink is water. Sure you have heard how healthy water is but did you know that not drinking enough water will actually increase your stomach fat? Let's see how water will help us keep the pounds off our belly.
One thing water does for us is keep us feeling full. Sometimes when we think we're hungry we're really just thirsty. Water also transports necessary nutrients to your muscles, it's used to help digest food, and it keeps your metabolism revving. Lack of water means a slower metabolism which leads to packing on fat right around your stomach. Since water makes you feel more full, drinking some water before having a meal has been shown to help you consume less calories than without a glass of water.
Drinking eight glasses a day has been recommended for a very long time. Personally I like to aim for a gallon of water a day. You can find a happy medium in between 8 glasses a day or one gallon. If you're having trouble downing water at all a nice way to give it some flavor is with a lime or lemon. Stay away from artificial sweeteners to give waters a better taste.
Lots of calories come from drinks or sodas so switching those to water is a simple way to cut your calorie intake. If you switch out your soda's and juices for just water the results will speak for themselves. It's that simple.

That's a far cry from the standard Puma AE, which is currently in service with the U.S. military and has an air endurance of 2 hours. "The desire to extend the range on the small UAVs is something that we hear quite often from the customers," explains David Heidel, marketing manager for AeroVironment's unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) business. And now they have that extended range.
By contrast, the new solar Puma could be production-ready in early 2014. "And the beauty of this is we could offer this as a retrofit, an upgrade kit, so it's not's like customers already using the Puma would have to buy a whole new system," Heidel adds.
In another stab at unmanned solar aviation, Titan Aerospace, a small Series A startup from New Mexico, is developing the SOLARA 50, a long-winged plane that will stay aloft for five years at a time, reaching an altitude of 65,000 feet. Titan Aerospace VP Stephen "Ron" Olsen calls the SOLARA 50 an atmospheric satellite and argues that, with a projected cost of less than $10 million, it will be a cheaper, retrievable alternative to conventional satellites.
Though reluctant to talk about specific technologies (for fear, he says, of competitors getting a jump on the startup), Olsen does wax excitedly about the many future applications of the high-flying, solar-powered UAV, including tracking wildlife, mapping fire, patrolling the U.S.–Mexico border, and even providing cellphone coverage to remote areas. "One of these [UAVs] at 10 miles can replace 100 cell towers," he says.
The company has already tested in the skies above Moriarty, N.M., a small-scale, proof-of-concept vehicle with a 33-foot wingspan, and Titan Aerospace plans more, longer endurance testing in the near future, says chief mechanical engineer Daniel Cornew. The crowning achievement of this effort, scheduled for mid-2014, will be producing the SOLARA 50, which will weigh 400 pounds and have a 162-foot wingspan.
Though some might be discouraged by these failures, the folks at Titan Aerospace believe the relevant technologies—advanced composites, efficient solar cells and lithium batteries—are now mature enough to justify another go at an atmospheric satellite. "We came at the right moment in the timeline," says Cornew. "We are now at the stage that a solar UAV is an assembly job, not an experiment."

2012 Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid details revealed [video]
The best of both worlds
Volvo has taken the wraps off the V60 Plug-in Hybrid, ahead of its debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
Designed to combine the efficiency of diesel engines with the zero-emissions of plug-in hybrid technology, the V60 is an eco-mentalist's dream come true. At its heart, the car is powered by a 2.4-liter five-cylinder diesel engine with 215 PS (158 kW / 212 hp) and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft) of torque. It is backed up by a 12 kWh lithium-ion battery which sends power to an ERAD (Electric Rear Axle Drive) motor that produces 70 PS (51 kW / 69 hp) and 200 Nm (149 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to this setup, the V60 Plug-in Hybrid has an estimated fuel consumption of 1.9 L/100 km (123.8 mpg US), CO2 emissions of 49 g/km, and an electric-only range of approximately 50 km (31 miles).
Drivers will have a choice of three different operational modes, which can be selected through the infotainment system. In Pure mode, the car runs on electricity as much as possible. Hybrid mode is the default setting and it enables the engine and electric motor to work together for the "optimal balance between driving pleasure and low environmental impact." Lastly, Power mode is like Hybrid mode on steroids. It enables the diesel engine and electric motor to be harnessed at full strength for a 0-100 km/h time of just 6.9 seconds.
Furthermore, the V60 has a trick all-wheel drive system (the diesel engine powers the front wheels, while the electric motor powers the rear) and the ability to save the battery until later in a trip (example: your commute starts with highway travel, but ends in city traffic where EV mode is more efficient).
As for the batteries themselves, they can be fully recharged in seven and half hours via a standard household outlet (230V/6A) or three hours with a rapid charger (230V/16A).
On the design front, the V60 Plug-in Hybrid is tastefully retrained as it looks virtually identical to the standard model. Despite this, the car is distinguished by a unique paintjob, a front-fender charging port, and lightweight wheels with low-rolling resistance Pirelli tires.
Inside, cabin has a revised instrument cluster, Elmo leather upholstery, and a new infotainment system with a variety of hybrid-specific functions.
While the Geneva car is technically a prototype, it is a dead-ringer for the production model which will be launched later next year.
Check out the press release for additional information
Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid - a sneak preview of the production model arriving in 2012
At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, Volvo Cars will be unveiling the V60 Plug-in Hybrid - a virtually production-ready car with carbon dioxide emissions below 50 g/km.
The Plug-in Hybrid, which will be launched on the market in 2012, is the result of close cooperation between Volvo Cars and Swedish energy supplier Vattenfall.
"No industry or organisation can tackle the climate challenge all by itself. It is our mission to develop carbon dioxide-lean cars, but a sustainable future must be created jointly by everyone in society. This project shows how cooperation between experts in different areas brings us closer to the transition from individually carbon dioxide-lean products to a climate-smart lifestyle," says Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO of Volvo Cars.
In January 2007, Volvo Cars and Vattenfall launched an industrial partnership whose aim was to test and develop plug-in technology. This cross-border initiative resulted in the foundation of a jointly owned company - V2 Plug-in-Hybrid Vehicle Partnership,
Half the CO2 emissions, full driving pleasure
Development work has been jointly financed. Now the project is on the threshold of introducing the market's first diesel plug-in hybrid. It's an attractive car type that gives the user access to the very best properties of both an electric car and a diesel-powered vehicle: very low fuel consumption and CO2 levels, combined with long range and high performance.
"One important aspect of the project was to retain the Volvo V60's excellent driving pleasure, high safety standard and luxurious comfort. At the same time, average CO2 emissions and fuel consumption will be halved compared with what is available on the market today," says Stefan Jacoby, and adds:
"We're taking a giant step forward towards our "DRIVe Towards Zero" vision, that is to say the hunt for zero emissions. In fact, when the V60 Plug-in Hybrid is run solely on electricity and recharged using renewable energy, we've already reached that goal."
Cheaper fuel costs
When powered solely by electricity, the V60 Plug-in Hybrid has a range of up to 50 kilometres. The car's total operating range is up to 1200 km. Carbon dioxide emissions will be an average of 49 grams per kilometre (EU Combined) and fuel consumption will be 1.9 litres per 100 km.
The cost of the battery pack means the plug-in hybrid will be more expensive to buy than a Volvo V60 with a conventional combustion engine. On the other hand, fuel costs will be one-third compared with a conventional combustion engine. The cost of running on electricity in Sweden has been calculated at about 2.50 kronor per 10 km. The exact cost will vary from one market to another.
The plug-in hybrid can be charged via a regular household electricity socket at home or when parked somewhere else. Charging time is about five hours if the car is recharged at home.
Electric power offers a range of benefits
Electrification of the transport sector is an important step in the fight against climate change. Electricity is a highly beneficial fuel:
- An electric motor is almost four times as efficient as a regular combustion engine. This means that an electrically powered car consumes less energy and thus produces lower emissions, even if it is powered by a blend of electricity sources that include fossil fuels.
- European electricity production has an emission ceiling. This means that even if all vehicles were to run on electricity, electricity production itself is not allowed to produce more carbon dioxide. This emission ceiling will be gradually lowered over a period of time.
- Electricity is an excellent source of energy. It does not risk running out, and it can be produced virtually without any CO2 emissions. For instance, Vattenfall is working towards halving the company's emissions by 2030 and becoming climate-neutral by 2050.
- Emissions from millions of exhaust tailpipes are transferred to a small number of production facilities, which are easier to control and which will operate on the basis of the EU's trade in emission rights, something that does not apply to the transport sector at present.
- Electric vehicles use relatively little electricity and the increase in consumption will be more than covered by ambitious expansion plans for renewable energy sources throughout Europe. A single wind-power station, for instance, produces sufficient renewable energy to power 3,000 electric cars. Vattenfall will offer buyers of the plug-in hybrid a contract including electricity from renewable sources.
Rapid expansion of renewable electricity production
Electricity production is undergoing rapid expansion. Wind-power is being commercially introduced on a large scale and is continuing to expand, biofuels will replace fossil fuels on a broad front, wave-power is expected to enter commercial operation within ten years, and new technology to clean CO2 emissions from coal-fired power stations is currently under development.
At Volvo Cars, work progresses on the V60 Plug-in Hybrid in parallel with development of the Volvo C30 Electric, which runs entirely on electricity.
"These two car types complement one another. With a plug-in hybrid the driver is entirely independent of recharging stations when driving long distances. The future electric-car market will feature a mixture of both all-electric cars and plug-in hybrids," says Stefan Jacoby.
The third leg in Volvo Cars' electrification strategy is empowering the upcoming engine generation with hybrid technology.

Unfortunately South African Labour Laws do not favour Small Business. Minimum wages and the process of disciplining and firing staff makes people think twice before hiring staff.
A Small Businessman who has mostly likely invested his life savings, has worked late into the night, is passionate about what he does can face ruin when an employee does not perform the way he should. The discipline procedure is expensive and takes time.
Staff cost money:- not just the wage or salary that they earn. in order to attract the best, you may have to offer medical aid and pension, or profit sharing. Then the is the sot of the equipment that they need in order to do their job.
Because the improvements in technology have made telecommuting possible, it may make sense to employ an off-site contract worker. This in fact allows you to search further afield and go offshore where highly qualified people can be found and even though they are paid in foreign currency, may end up being cheaper than employing (and creating work for) South Africans.
Employing staff does not need to be a nightmare, but you need to be clear in what you want. Every new member of staff must be put on probation for a reasonable period and this must be stated clearly in their contract. Have the contract drawn up by a HR specialist. Make sure that you also provide a clear job description. And be fore to reward hard work.
Even though going off shore may work out less expensive, providing work for South Africans will improve the economy, put more money into circulation and in turn create new customers for you.

Lady Camels edge UMES on first day in Florida
Campbell's women's basketball team came up with a 77-72 victory against Maryland-Eastern Shore at the North Florida Hampton Inn Oceanside Holiday Classic at the UNF Arena Thursday afternoon.
Sophomore forward Kiera Gaines poured in a career-high 20 points becoming the first Fighting Camel to reach the 20-point plateau this season.
Senior guard Tonisha Baker added 17 points for CU and junior forward Ashley James scored 12 points.
Campbell shot 49.2 percent from the field while hitting at a 40.0 percent rate from behind the arc.
Secondary scoring was provided by freshmen guards Zena Lovette and RaeChaun Edwards with seven points each. Senior guard Monique Spry and junior forward Roslyn Presley contributed five and four points, respectively.
UMES was strong on the glass, especially on the offensive end with 22 rebounds, as it held a 43-36 overall advantage in the category, and a 19-13 lead in second chance points. James pulled down eight rebounds while Baker contributed six and Spry added five.
Campbell registered 14 assists during the contest as both Gaines and Baker led the game with four each. James totaled four blocks on the day, setting a new career-high.
The Lady Hawks were led offensively by the duo of Karona Roach and Sha-Kiyla Finney with 18 points each.
Both teams relied on scoring points in the paint as the Lady Camels had a 34-32 advantage. Even though Campbell committed four more turnovers, 21-17, it still registered 23 points off of UMES turnovers.
The Lady Camels cruised to a 22-5 advantage with 11:48 left in the first. UMES cut the Camel lead down to 39-37 at halftime.
Campbell came out of the locker room after halftime hitting on all cylinders as the lead was pushed to 12, 55-43 with 14:01 left. A 10-0 run was jump started by a three-pointer by Baker, who drained two during the run and added a layup.
Throughout the second half, UMES made runs cutting the deficit to four, but each time the Lady Camels showed poise and pushed their lead back to double digits. The latest 10-point lead for Campbell occurred with 2:50 left on a jumper from James, 72-62, and eventually sealed the victory by sinking five foul shots.
The Lady Camels complete the UNF Holiday Classic today at 1 p.m. against Jacksonville State. Campbell returns to Gore Arena/John W. Pope, Jr. Convocation Center on Thursday for a 7 p.m. tilt vs. Elon.

Dining near Amherst College
(Note: This discussion was split from a question about dining during a whirlwind college tour at: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/894639)
Pure speculation, but based on the caliber of schools I'm guessing you mean Amherst College and not UMass Amherst. If memory serves me correctly, Amherst College is much closer to the town. I know there's a serviceable red sauce Italian place in Amherst but the name escapes me at the moment.
re: zydecomom
Another suggestion for a quick cheap lunch while visiting Amherst is sandwiches at Atkins Farms (about 6 min drive from the college). It's a farm stand/grocery store, but they have a small eating area. I also think that it's pretty cool that they put together care packages for students.
re: viperlush
Also, Joe's Cafe in Northampton for amazing pizza. Hasn't changed in 70 years! Thin, crispy, charred crusts....mmmm..One of my all time favorite spots
re: Science Chick
In addition to the suggestions you have, try the food court at the Waltham Indian Grocery on Moody, breakfast in Waltham at Joseph's or In a Pickle, Dominick's Italian in Waltham for great sandwiches, B & D Smokehouse on your way up or back from Amherst for the best barbecue in NE, Alive 'n Kickin in Cambridge for inexpensive lobster and seafood, Court House Fish in Cambridge, ditto, and Angela's in East Boston near the airport for great Mexican. Second Family Restaurant in Brookline for lunch or dinner, very good Turkish food in very large quantities (we normally split a main and a salad and can't finish that). Food Court at super 88 Market in Brighton near BU for lots of inexpensive varied Asian choices from Vietnamese to Korean. Lot's of choices - have fun and good luck with the college rounds.
re: teezeetoo
These places are not near Amherst. Waltham is a suburb of Boston, Amherst is in the Pioneer Valley near the Conn. River.
If you like Mediterranean/Persian food, try Moti's, which is a short way up Pleasant Street from the Commons and a 5-6 minute walk from the AC Campus.
Living in Amherst and affiliated with the College, here's what I would recommend: 1) The Lumber Yard: just a 10 min. walk down Main St, lovely atmosphere, excellent food!, the owners also have a place in Nantucket they run in the summer; 2) Chez Albert: in the heart of downtown, a block down from Henion Bakery (another good spot), parking in back, good classic french food; 3) Moti: casual and less expensive, wonderful wraps that I usually pair with persian salad, it's my favorite lunch spot. Enjoy!
re: amherst_foodie
I have had two horrible meals at the Lumberyard. I feel like the emperor has no clothes.
re: magiesmom
Thanks to all for contributing to this discussion. We are back from our trip and wanted to let you know that we decided to take the suggestion to eat at Atkins Farm. The sandwiches were great, the people were friendly and helpful and the store is beautiful. Thanks again!
re: magiesmom
We were thinking of going there for dinner. Their website looked nice, and I won a $25 gift certificate from a local race. What did you not like about it? "Horrible" meal sounds kind of scary!
re: magiesmom
horrible means raw chicken and entrees that came literally 25 minutes apart, gloppy sauces drowning tough meat.

A Playbook for Managing at the Crossroads
Innovation Beyond The Four Walls
Cognizant Named a "Leader" in Business Transformation Consultancies by Independent Research Firm

Cloud-enabled crowd testing fits into the full testing lifecycle when organizations blend traditional and crowdsourcing approaches.
Although crowd sourcing as a concept is not necessarily new, the Internet and mobile devices have acted as catalysts that have triggered a chain reaction, increasing the technique's effectiveness and ROI. Organizations now can leverage easy access to large numbers of individuals – crowds – in achieving business goals.
Effective testing necessitates analyzing a large number of intuitive as well as esoteric test scenarios. Crowd testing, in many cases, becomes a broad, but effective means of ensuring that all bases are covered. Crowd testing can be leveraged regardless of the underlying development methodology. In fact, it is viable in both agile and waterfall scenarios.
However, crowd testing cannot replace traditional approaches to software quality assurance. If organizations focus only on crowd testing, the quality assurance process loses its scientific rigor and predictability. And if application stability has not been ensured through early lifecycle testing, a vicious loop of ever-increasing defects can ensue.
Thus, organizations need to adopt one of the following strategies for blending traditional and crowd testing approaches to get the maximum ROI.
However, cloud-based testing poses different challenges than in-house testing.
Current pricing models tend to be a combination of a fixed-based price and a variable component that is dependent on the number of defects uncovered in each run. We have increasingly found that it is more effective for our clients if we bundle this as part of our overall TaaS cloud-based offering.
Extinction of pure-play crowd testing seems to be a foregone conclusion. Niche vendors are scrambling to expand their service offerings by entering into alliances with similar players offering specialized testing services such as performance testing. We believe that crowd testing will soon become synonymous with community testing.
We foresee greater integration between social media and crowd test execution. Special interest groups, including those within Facebook and Twitter that are business focused, will help build knowledge and efficient handover across releases even in a crowd testing scenario.
Although crowd testing is fast growing as a viable test option, organizations need to integrate it as part of their overall testing strategy. We offer crowd testing as part of our TaaS platform and believe that this approach can quickly and cost-effectively eradicate defects if properly integrated into the overall testing lifecycle.
Global services players are differentiating by providing more testing services either alone or in partnership with key vendors. Similarly, we have made significant investments and are leveraging our domain knowledge and large testing resource pool to enable us to bridge the gap between crowd testing and community testing.

Due to a heavy production schedule at Daiwa Can's Ooigawa facility in-plant photos of the two lines described in this story were not possible. But nearly identical equipment is shown here.
Shown above is a photo of a low-acid ASIS line at Daiwa Can's Toyokawa plant. Taken inside the Class 10 clean room it shows the Class 100 chamber where the filler/capper block sits. Four glove ports above the step stool permit an operator to access the filler in case of a jam. Visible to the left is an "intervention suit." If there is a problem with the filler/capper an operator can step inside the suit and again access the equipment without breaking asepsis. Tools can be handed to him through the white cylindrical port visible on the left side of the photo. First the tool is placed inside the cylinder and the door reclosed. Then a hydrogen peroxide spray sterilizes the tool. Only then does the operator in the intervention suit open his side of the cylinder and remove the tool for use.
Shown below is a CC line virtually identical to the one at Ooigawa. Like the ASIS line this line also relies on glove ports that allow an operator to access a Class 100 chamber without breaking asepsis. Here again the photo is taken inside the Class 10 clean room and this time the garb required for any operator entering the room is shown. The first four glove ports let the operator access a rotary sterilizer. The next two glove ports lead to the rinser. The remaining ports mounted below the panel that reads "Fillstar" are for access to the filler/capper block.

Les, don't forget that SEVs typically lag the market by a couple of years due the way assessors conduct their study. The market isn't "back" but it is better due to the immutable law of supply and demand. At the peak of the crisis we had roughly 9,000 active listings in the county compared to just over 2,000 now. Much is due to a lack of foreclosure activity as the big banks figured out the robo-signing and MERS issues, both of which have recently been resolved. The foreclosure train was temporarily sidetracked but should get back in gear shortly though the large lenders have indicated that they will release inventory in a more controlled manner so as not to glut the market. Hopefully they have also realized that in many cases it is better to work with the borrower either in a loan modification or short sale to minimize their loss but only time will tell.
If you want accurate info regarding the Genesee County market might I suggest that you call the Flint Area Association of Realtors 810.767.6330, ask for Kim - she'll tell you anything you want to know. For the life of me I can't fathom why you would go to an out of county MLS to whom we are a secondary market at best.

Every GSE closing I have ever seen included a clause that any transfer taxes required by law will be paid by the buyer. Will this just be passed on to hundreds if not thousands of individuals who bought homes? And remember this is seperate and distinct from the State Transfer Tax which is almost 7 times higher!
Hey Uh_Oh, Wanna start a booster club?
Disagree with the above. This is great family entertainment on the cheap, $15 for 2 tickets and that includes a couple of bucks credit at the concesion. My 7 year old and I are at almost all the home games and even though they are having a tough season it is still a blast to watch these kids play their hearts out. Sitting next to the players bench my kid has even acquired an entire new vocabulary courtesy of coach Mantha. We look forward to next season and many more, Warrior On!
Not to be a b******y boy, but I find it unfortunate that there was no coverage of any of the games in a 4 win run followed by coverage of their loss. I know Brendan, who does a great job, was on vacation but it seems the Journal has made a statement by activly not assigning anyone else to cover this team. Going to many of the games I can only assume that the owners are reevaluating their commitment to this market and I'm guessing the lack of media coverage of our only local team is not going to be a positive factor in that equation.
Funny thing is I was first made aware of them as a resource back in the early 1990's by Jewish Social Services!
Absolutly Untrue! I have referred tenants facing evicton or utility shut-off to the Salvation Army for over two decades and this has never been an issue. While I am not of their faith I can comfortably say they are one of the most undersung resources in our community. I never miss the opportunity to drop what I can in their bucket!
Stole 'em off my commercial building on Joliet too!
Win or loose, I for one am looking forward to being in the stands on Friday. Brendan, any chance of getting an updated picture of coach Mantha for your articles, he is really rocking that pirate look!
Attending the Warriors home games and sitting next to the players bench has also had the benefit off dramatically expanding the vocabulary of my 7-year old. Rembember kids: Just 'cause Coach Mantha says it, doesn't mean you should too!
On the plus side. After this very disappointing performance a number of the Warriors stuck around on thier own time and helped with the little ones ADM practice. I have never seen anything as cute as two great big (very smelly) guys on either side of a 2 1/2 year old little girl trying to teach her how to skate. Regardless of their win/loss record they are an extraordinary group of young men and I hope they can figure out a wat to stick around!
Can't Wait!

A poem out of my collection
0 views posted 30 Apr 2012, 02:28
I find her intoxicating, forevermore
Her voice is like an endless dream, I cant stand it anymore
Her words how they resonate, inside me deep to my soul
My wanting to be hers, like a pain that cannot be consoled
and it takes its toll
I fight for my sanity in a world that makes no sense
I fight against depression, I fight against indifference
Memories have a power that cannot never be allowed to thrive
In this world, so twisted, we fight to stay alive
All we want is love, what we want is pure
We get a taste of happiness and we want more
Rather we get it or not doesn't matter anymore
Cause inside we are sore, from the endless stress for sure
I find her so beautiful, like an angel basking in the sun
I wait so patiently, for when my time will finally come
I can hear it calling within me, like a voice that cannot be denied
I feel it coming, every time I look into her eyes
Cause I fight for my sanity, I fight for what is really me
In a world where things happen, I just want to be happy and free
So I take my time, I wait for someone to walk in and save this lonely heart
I continue on my road to better myself, feeling good when I dont fall apart
Cause All we want is love, and what we want is pure
We get a taste of happiness and we always want more
Rather we get it or not, doesn't matter anymore
Cause inside we are sore, from the endless stress for sure
Although some of us are stronger than the rest
We find ourselves facing the ultimate test.....
This is a poem from my heart to yours. My heart is yours rather or not you want it. What do I want? I want you to care, I want you to love, I want to be the one that your always thinking of. I want to be your everything, your heart and your soul, I want you to hold me and never let me go.....I want to be happy, happy with you, your like an angel that is so pure and so true.....am i not good enough, or am i just a man? I might not be what you want right now but at least I give a damn.

Baba Ghanoush!
Baba Ghanoush. Don't tell the cowboys, but this is one of those things in my recipe repertoire that falls under the category It Doesn't Get Much Better Than This. It's true. I absolutely love this stuff. Even though the cowboys wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole.
I'm happy with the life I've been given. I love my family. I'm okay with the cow that thinks it's a dog and sleeps on my porch. I can even make my peace with the flies. Maybe. And I embrace all of the country food I've had to learn to make in the last decade-plus of my life: fried chicken, chocolate sheet cake, chicken fried steak. So if I want to wig out one day and make a traditional Middle Eastern eggplant spread with a totally funky name, I give myself permission.
Baba Ghanoush is delicious. Made with eggplant that's been fire roasted (either on a hot grill or under a broiler) to the point of shriveling, it can be served as a side dish. Typically, though, it's a cold or room temperature spread, served with pita bread or crostini or crusty French bread…or a spoon.
Eggplant haters: Please expand your mind.
All I am saying: Give Eggplant a chance.
Grab three medium-large eggplants.
Before you do anything—this is a vital step—use a fork to prick the surface of the eggplant. Really go for it; later, I'll show you an example of what happens if you omit this step.
I'll just say this: it ain't pretty.
Now, we're going to roast the eggplants on high for about 25 minutes, or until the skins get black and they completely shrivel into pitiful versions of their former selves. I'm using a grill this time, but have done this right under the broiler of the oven with much success.
The point is to blacken the heck out of these eggplants, baby.
This is about 8 or so minutes in, and this doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
When I say "shrivel", I mean shrivel.
Getting there, but still not even close. As the different sides blacken, use tongs to turn them as needed. You want to get the whole thing black.
Have I mentioned you need to blacken the eggplant?
The shriveling eggplant seeks comfort from his fallen comrade. Sorry. Sometimes I'll lean one eggplant against another to get the fat bottom right up against the fire.
Fat bottom. Why did I have to bring that up?
For fun, and it's actually no fun at all, I decided not to prick the surface of Eggplant #3, just to show you how perilous it is. See how the skin burst under pressure? Not good. When this happens, it's really difficult to finish roasting the eggplant to its full potential, because the whole thing pretty much falls apart.
This took thirty minutes. Thirty minutes of turning with tongs, checking the softness, turning with tongs, and getting impatient for baba ghanoush.
Here's Eggplant #3. Poor, sad soul.
I hope I've driven home the point: Prick your eggplants, my darlings!
Now, just let these rest while you prepare the other ingredients. That way, they'll be cool enough to handle when you're ready to mix.
For baba ghanoush, you must have tahini. Tahini is a sesame paste sold in jars, and it's a miracle.
I love tahini so much.
You also need a good amount of lemon juice: one lemon if they're large, two if they're smallish.
There is a time for everything. And this is the time to break out your good olive oil.
You also need about 4 cloves of garlic.
Smash 'em with the bottom of a jar, then peel 'em, then mince them really, really finely.
And just when you think you've mince it finely enough…mince some more. And if you're sensitive to garlic flavor, you could always roast the garlic first to take away the pungency. If you roast the garlic, just use double the amount.
Mmmm. Roasted garlic. Why does that sound so good at 5:33 am?
(By the way, here are instructions on how to roast garlic, just in case you need to know.)
You also need a good amount of fresh parsley. I realize flat leaf parsley is preferred, but:
a) my little grocery store doesn't sell flat leaf parsley
b) my garden is dead
c) curly parsley tastes exactly the same!
So if you only have curly parsley at your disposal—go for it!
I realize this is going to gross out some of you who may not have much experience with scraping out eggplant innards. But please bear with me.
So basically, you want to scrape all the flesh you can out of the charred/shriveled/smoked eggplants. Upon further examination, I realized since they were so big, I could have let these grill for another ten minutes. But they're fine they way they are. Mash the eggplant with a fork—you want to have some chunks, but get it as smooth as possible.
I'm not a big fan of baba ghanoush in the food processor, but that's certainly an option if you like things smoother!
I know what you're thinking. I just know it. But surge on, in spite of your reservations.
Tahini! Give the jar a shake and a stir (it separates a little when it sits), then add a good 4 tablespoons. It has such a nutty, unique flavor, so don't skimp!
Next comes lemon juice (juice of one large or two small lemons) and 3 tablespoons olive oil.
And plenty of chopped parsley.
Stir it gently until it's all combined.
Vital Step #2: plenty of kosher salt! Baba ghanoush is lost without it.
And by the way, why do we never discuss the fact that salt is a miracle? Honestly—taste the mixture before the salt, then after. What salt does for food is pure magic.
I like to stop and smell the roses sometimes. I can't help it.
Then stir it up, tasting and adjusting things as needed. You might need a little more lemon juice, or a little more parsley, or a little more tahini. Feel free to add!
I'm serving this with thinly-sliced baguette bread.
To this isolated ranch wife, it doesn't get much better than this.
I prefer baba ghanoush at room temperature (as opposed to cold). But it'll keep in the fridge for a few days, and I'm not above sticking a chunk of bread right into the fridge and sneaking bites.
Helpful Hint: You can use baba ghanoush as a sandwich spread. Divine!

Baba Ghanoush, Baby!
- Prep Time:

- Difficulty:
- Easy
- Servings:
- 8
- 3 whole Medium Eggplants
- 4 Tablespoons Tahini
- 4 cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
- 1/4 cup Lemon Juice
- 3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil (good Quality)
- 1/3 cup Fresh Parsley, Minced
Preparation Instructions
IMPORTANT: Prick the surface of each eggplant several times with the tines of a fork.
On the grill or under the broiler (set to high) blacken/char the eggplant for 25 minutes or so. You want the skin to be completely shriveled and dark, and the eggplant almost fall-apart tender. Just when you think it's shriveled, let it go another five minutes.
Set them aside to cool slightly.
When cool, peel off skin enough to get a spoon into each eggplant and scrape out the flesh into a bowl. Try to get as much as you can, even the stuff that's stuck to the inside of the skin. (This process is a total mess, so don't worry.)
Mash eggplant with a fork. A few large chunks are fine, but try to get it to a relatively smooth texture without being totally pureed.
Add in all other ingredients, stirring and tasting before adjusting seasonings or other ingredients. Don't undersalt!
Serve with pita triangles, baguette slices, chips, crusty French bread…or with a spoon.

mmmmm …. I love Middle Eastern Food!
Am I really the first? Hoorah! Thanks for everything, Ree. I really mean it.
Romaine of www.salad-in-a-jar.com On Friday, October 2 at 6:28 am
I love eggplant but have never roasted a whole one before. Great idea. All that poking sounds rather therapeutic.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is On Friday, October 2 at 6:30 am
I've never had this but have always wondered how to make it. I also have a plethora of eggplant! Thanks.
Kristen On Friday, October 2 at 6:32 am
I love to say baba ghanoush.
danita On Friday, October 2 at 6:32 am
oh. my. gosh. This looks AMAZING!! This, I have to try!
Callie On Friday, October 2 at 6:33 am
I'm hesitant but I'll try it just because you said so
ButterYum On Friday, October 2 at 6:33 am
thedomesticmama On Friday, October 2 at 6:33 am
YUM! Awesome job!
Kay On Friday, October 2 at 6:35 am
Actually, real baba ghanous calls for coriander, I just use flat-leaf parsley because I cannot stand coriander. Only eggplant is too much for me, so I've added chickpeas in my baba ghanous posting. Makes it less slimey!
jaxfalls On Friday, October 2 at 6:37 am
I love baba jhanoush…I didn't know that you should prick the eggplant…I learned something new!
jaxfalls On Friday, October 2 at 6:38 am
Ok, can't type/spell and did not proofread…ghanoush…
Ninu On Friday, October 2 at 6:43 am
Yaaaaay !!! Baba ghanoush !! Now I live in Dubai and Saudi Arabia and I have eaten this like a million times only : ) and seen the recipe a million times more !! But now that u have made it ree I have no choice but to try my hand at making it at home …..
Lisaiz On Friday, October 2 at 6:43 am
Mmmmmm – yum! Even though garlic just doesn't sound appetizing at 7:40 in the morning, your baba ghanoush looks heavenly, and I love a good bab ghanoush. I've never made it from scratch, though, so I think I may have to surprise my hubby with it this weekend.
How did you become so multi-faceted-talented in the kitchen (and yes, I'm sure there's all kind of grammar issues with that sentence)??
Miz Booshay On Friday, October 2 at 6:44 am
I learned something new today.
Baba gnanoush.
I am sure it will come up five times before the weekend is over…isn't it weird how that happens?
Were you saying along with the nutty announcer on AR….
Eat the Wasabi?
Could you have eaten that wasabi?
Terry On Friday, October 2 at 6:45 am
I'm with the cowboys on this one. I have tried for over 10 years to like eggplant and I've given up. Eggplant is not for me.
Melissa On Friday, October 2 at 6:48 am
Oooh, that does sound wonderful!
I used to be afraid of eggplants until a friend of mine made eggplant parmesan that was out of this world! I don't use it nearly enough, so now I have another reason to do so.
Ashley On Friday, October 2 at 6:51 am
I'm sorry Pioneer Woman, but this has to be the grossest looking post you have ever made!
I'm sure it's delicious though… I'll take your word for it this time.
cthomas On Friday, October 2 at 6:53 am
Looks Yummy!
Have a great Friday Ree and MM!
Michelle On Friday, October 2 at 6:54 am
Excellent warning about the condition of roasted eggplant. I tried making this dish about 20 years ago, after hearing about it from a friend with very cosmopolitan parents. When I pulled the eggplants off the grill, I was so utterly horrified by their appearance and squishy-ness that I assumed something had gone horribly wrong. I put them in the trash!
Debbie On Friday, October 2 at 6:58 am
Marvelous job of selling baba ganoush! to us readers. Can't wait to give it a go.
Theresa in Alberta On Friday, October 2 at 7:01 am
I can say with all honesty I have never tried eggplant,,,now I will with this recipe. This looks like totaly devine! pssssst, don't tell the cowboys what it is, I betcha they would try it
Diane On Friday, October 2 at 7:02 am
Hmmm… so do you ever have an issue with sliminess? The last few times I tried to make baba ganoush, the texture wasn't great but I want to try again!
Margo/MS Hospitality On Friday, October 2 at 7:03 am
LOVE THIS RECIPE! You might want to check out my Turkish Olive Walnut Salsa on Tasty Kitchen. A delightful burst of flavor!
Amber On Friday, October 2 at 7:03 am
You think you're isolated…I've never even heard of this! But I'm an eggplant lover, so I just have to figure out where to get tahini. I have a weekend mission (in addition to the War on Clutter, already scheduled for Saturday).
Tabitha (From Single to Married) On Friday, October 2 at 7:04 am
I'd be willing to give eggplant a chance if it came out looking like this – looks fantastic!
Brenda On Friday, October 2 at 7:05 am
YES!! Eggplant is so under-rated! I was one of those that thought eggplant was disgusting – but I'd never try it! The thing with eggplant is that it absolutely must be cooked enough – otherwise it's rubbery. Today we had eggplant havarti sandwiches. Yum-o! Thanks Ree, for allllllll the effort you put into your work.
VeggieGirl On Friday, October 2 at 7:05 am
Boop On Friday, October 2 at 7:09 am
Sounds fantastic!
Mariam. On Friday, October 2 at 7:09 am
Very daring of you to do such an explicit posting on the backstage of eggplant puree !! Good for you. It is one of my most loved comfort foods but hard to get in Portugal. Thank you for bringing back very fond memories of the time I was working in Tunisia. Would you please also do a posting on mechouia ? If not, you will still be my bestest food blogger, God bless.
Christine On Friday, October 2 at 7:11 am
I can't wait to try this treat, it looks and sounds positively yummy! Maybe this weekend if the eggplant looks good at the market.
the Provident Woman On Friday, October 2 at 7:13 am
I have never (NEVER) cooked with egg plant. I don't think I've ever seen one in a store either. But I've never looked. Maybe I should.
Amy On Friday, October 2 at 7:15 am
Thanks for all of the details and great pictures! I always order this at the restaurant, but have never made it at home. Looks easy and yummy!!
Mawcee On Friday, October 2 at 7:16 am
I think I would taste it, but not sure I would spend time or money on it.
I refer back to your Confessions post this AM, and sit down with a plate of what you boy is having for dinner !!
Vicky On Friday, October 2 at 7:20 am
sorry, but ohhhh grosss!!!
Susan Moe On Friday, October 2 at 7:21 am
Oh my gosh, I was laughing so hard when you said, "It's still alive!" Thanks for the smile:)! Sounds like you're really opening the eyes to a lot of folks who've never tried this. Good for you! It's an all time favorite of mine!
Being Beth On Friday, October 2 at 7:23 am
OH, I've been looking for a good recipe for baba-ghanoush. It's wonderful. Thanks PW!!!!
Southern Gal in SC On Friday, October 2 at 7:23 am
I was just wondering what to do with the two big eggplants in my fridge. Thanks for the recipe!

I haven't had breakfast yet and now all I want is this!
Gina Brown On Friday, October 2 at 7:27 am
This is great! We have an abundance of eggplant right now and just yesterday I thought- Hmmm I wonder if Pioneer Woman has any good eggplant recipes. What wonderful timing. Can't wait to make it this weekend. Thank you!
rollingstonemom On Friday, October 2 at 7:29 am
Funny thing, Ree. Just the other day, my dh was commenting on the fact that there are 2 things I hate and have not cooked – liver and eggplant. Now, my ds (14) wanted liver to eat and cooked it himself (it was ok) so, now I'm thinking I must try to cook eggplant. This just may be my in for it. Thanks
Julia On Friday, October 2 at 7:30 am
Yum! Our garden had a bumper crop of eggplant this year, and I was looking for interesting things to do with it. Eggplant Parmesan is good, but you can only eat it so often before it looses its appeal. I'm putting this on my list of eggplant dishes to try!
mb On Friday, October 2 at 7:32 am
I have recently figured out that I love eggplant and was looking for another recipe and VOILA! here you be!
looks fabl.
will do later with my home grown egglpants from my box planters courtesy of you know whom!
keep up the good work.
Jennifer On Friday, October 2 at 7:34 am
You're whole "It's alive!" picture did absolutely nothing to help my already low opinion of eggplant For some reason it's one flavor that I just can't do. It looks delicious though!
LoveFeast Table On Friday, October 2 at 7:34 am
We owned a coffeeshop and made this, but called it Eggplant Caviar! It's delicious…or as my two year old says, dewicious!!
Paula On Friday, October 2 at 7:34 am
I LOVE baba ghanoush. I find it to be similar to hummus, which I also love. So if you like hummus, give baba ghanoush a try. It's delicious with warm pita bread. Mmm. Now I want some, and it's 7:30 in the morning…gross
Phoo-D On Friday, October 2 at 7:35 am
We both love baba-ghanoush- it is something I could eat by the truckload! Have you ever tried grilling the eggplants over a charcoal fire with wet wood chips to add smoke? The addition of a subtle smoky flavor to baba is out of this world good!
sprucehill On Friday, October 2 at 7:36 am
Oh I LOVE eggplant! My family hates it. This I have to try it looks so easy and I have tahini in my pantry!
Embee On Friday, October 2 at 7:38 am
I was 'considering' this until Kay (comment #9) said something about making the dish 'less slimey'…. Um, Oookay, I think I'll pass… But if anyone around my parts (Cecil County, Maryland) decides to make it and wants to share a smidgen then I'll give it a try.
Loukia On Friday, October 2 at 7:40 am
Just remembered the eggplant I picked last week from the garden sitting in the fridge…..so they are roasting in the oven as I am typing this. I love Ghanoush , will toast some ciabata bread and my lunch will be fabulous.
Thanks Aree!

I swear..there's only Pepsi in my coffee cup this morning!
7aki fadi On Friday, October 2 at 7:45 am
If you want baba ganoush to be figure friendly you can substitute the tahini with plain yogurt. It tastes so fresh and is healthy too. Give it a shot, I am middle eastern and you gotta trust me on this. Plain yogurt and garlic mixed together are divine.
Barb-OK On Friday, October 2 at 7:45 am
How much does it make?
Angela On Friday, October 2 at 7:45 am
Canadian Thanksgiving is in a week and I am DEFINITELY making this (along with coffee cake, tres leches cake and a TON of other recipes from you!)

Great recipe! Thank you!

Please try it Ree, you'll love it
Lisa Zielinski On Friday, October 2 at 7:47 am
I was thrilled to see this …..I moved to west Michigan 6 years ago and they don't have any Lebanese restaurants here at all. I am so psyched to have this recipe and feel free to keep em coming. I will most definetly make this.
Heather On Friday, October 2 at 7:47 am
I love Baba Ganoush – I remember quite vividly introducing it to my husbands side of the family – they thought I was insane – but they love it now too. DELISH!!! I've never made it myself, but can't wait to try – thanks!
Dawn On Friday, October 2 at 7:51 am
That looks super yummy. We are going to have to try it.
jensamom23 On Friday, October 2 at 7:51 am
OH!!! I first had this 4 years ago in a small restaurant while travelling in Oregon of all places. I LOVED IT and have been trying to recreate it ever since…will give this a try this weekend! THANKS!
Emma in Ft. Worth On Friday, October 2 at 7:53 am
Mmmmm – I LOVE eggplant AND I love this. Thanks for the recipe – I may have to try it – even thought I just got rid of my ## year old Jenn-Air – and no longer have an indoor grill ): I'll try it!!!
AGinTO On Friday, October 2 at 7:54 am
I'm middle eastern and eat this on a fairly regular basis. It's amaaaaazing. Doesn't taste ANYTHING like Eggplant! LOL!
reneekoch On Friday, October 2 at 7:55 am
I have a bag full of eggplant and have been wondering what to do with it all. I doubt I'll eat it, my punks won't either — but I know my husband will go ga-ga over it.

I'm too chicken. Have me to your place first. I'll try it then
Barbara: Art and Barb Live in Italy! On Friday, October 2 at 8:00 am
I never ate egplant til I moved to Italy and was introduced to caponata – another eggpant dish that can be eaten on it's own or spread on bread. Now if I could only find tahini here in Umbria
Julie G. On Friday, October 2 at 8:01 am
Glad you are introducing a wider audience to the miracle that is baba ganoush. I make it almost exactly the same only I do add some honey in. Not so much sweeten it but to counteract the sometimes bitterness of the eggplants.
Really people. You haven't lived until you've eaten the baba!
Tammie On Friday, October 2 at 8:01 am
OK, this looks nasty, but so does hummis and I love that, I'm going to give it a try.
Amy Smith On Friday, October 2 at 8:02 am
Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this recipe!!!!!! I love this stuff so much and can't wait to try your recipe! I'm making it tonight. I had Baba Ghanoush in Israel and Jordan 15 years ago, fell in love and have wanted more ever since then. So, basically, you are a rock star to me today! Thank you!
Jeff On Friday, October 2 at 8:02 am
Oh, I just had to post on this one. Pita House in Greenville, SC is the place I was introduced to this stuff. Absolutely wonderful. This place was started by three brothers from Israel who learned to make Baba Ganoush from their mother growning up so theirs is as about as authentic as it gets. They also baked fresh pita bread everyday and that is what they would give you to scoop up the Baba Ganoush. You make me want to drive to Greenville right this minute. I have tried making it, but can never get it to come out quite like the Pite House's. I'll have to give this recipe a try. It looks just like what they are doing.
Tiffany On Friday, October 2 at 8:04 am
I love baba ghanoush, but I've never made it.
Sally On Friday, October 2 at 8:04 am
I love Baba Ganoush! I kind of understand the cowboys not wanting to touch it with a ten-foot pole, but it's not some newfangled (cow)girly cocktail party food. This stuff is as old as history!
#64 Emma — You don't need a grill for this. Just roast it (whole) in the oven at 400ºF for 35-45 minutes. Let cool for about an hour, then cut in half and remove the flesh.
Ms Pink On Friday, October 2 at 8:07 am
I LOVE baba ghanoush….but have never tried roasting them whole.
I learned how to make it by just slicing them in half the long way and roasting them cut side down for half hour
anita On Friday, October 2 at 8:08 am
if you don't like eggplant use chickpeas for an awesome hummus!!!
Cindy On Friday, October 2 at 8:09 am
This looks great! I'll definitely try it for a party on Saturday evening.
Heck, I think I'd just try it so I can say "I brought Baba Ghanoush." It's fun to say! : )
DebbieQ On Friday, October 2 at 8:11 am
I have to say that this particular dish is the only way that I will eat eggplant. I love it (not the eggplant, the baba ghanoush)!
Diane @ Stoney Creek On Friday, October 2 at 8:11 am
I can't wait to make this, and for the record, I like curley parsley much better than flat leaf. For some reason this makes me feel like a low life.
Bonnie On Friday, October 2 at 8:11 am
OK sorry but the way PW feels about bananas is exactly the way I feel about eggplant in any form
books On Friday, October 2 at 8:12 am
Hmmm… never had this one, but it does look alright. My absolute favorite eggplant dish is eggplant puree which actually looks pretty similar, but uses cream and grated parmesan
Rema On Friday, October 2 at 8:17 am
I love baba ghanoush!! i usually add a bit of yogurt to make it more creamy and lessen the tahini flavor… i'm not a huge fan of tahini
justrun On Friday, October 2 at 8:18 am
I have been grilling all my eggplant so far because I've been too chicken to do anything else. But I've been wanting baba ghanoush, oh how I've been wanting it. This is finally going to get me to do it. I have an eggplant the size of a regulation-sized football, so I'm thinking I need to roast it somewhere between 3o minutes and forever. Yay.
Nezzy On Friday, October 2 at 8:19 am
I would make this dish in a heart beat, but this farm chick would have to devour the whole stinkin' thing by myself 'cause Hubby and the Strongbacks (no not a singin' group, the farm help) would never, never go near this one.
Have a great weekend!!!
rebecca On Friday, October 2 at 8:19 am
so basically you've got hummus but with eggplant. I can dig it, way dig it!!!!!
Terri in Iowa On Friday, October 2 at 8:20 am
Oh, a non-meat recipe from a ranch wife. Huh. My stepson would love this. I'm printing the recipe right now. Perhaps we'll try it when we get back from our vacation to Boston. We leave in just about 24 hours!

…but my daughter would not be impressed that I spelled it Middle ease… I am sure that 2 minutes from now I will not be able to remember the name of this dish, so I think I will quit while I am ahead.

Yum! There's also a similar dish that I believe is traditional to Uzbekistan which uses mayonnaise in place of the tahini. It's absolutely delicious.

Oh, I'm going to have to go with a "gross" on this one. I'll only eat eggplant if it's eggplant parm, smothered and covered by plenty of marinara and cheese. Good look and good eating to everyone who's going to try this, but I'll just enjoy this one from afar…

I loooove baba ghanoush! but I've always been too chicken to make it. I'll try it this week

I posted a variation on Baba – an eggplant spread with tomatoes and olive oil and my peeled eggplants looked as deliciously gross as yours (I hope you're taking that as a compliment!) – a bit like skinned snakes actually. Having no grill, I usually broil my eggplants and have often forgotten to prick them, resulting in a loud pop explosion and a bit of a mess. Your recipe for baba is fab.
