Ravens fans, we have a special treat for you. We've got three popular recipes straight from M&T Bank Stadium Executive Chef Joe Bachman. Crab tots, crab dip, crab cakes and a steak sandwich. Can you dig it?
"The biggest football game of the year is also one of the largest food consumption days of the year, so we wanted to give fans recipes to create special menus for their parties this year," said Bachman. "Baltimore is well known for its delicious crab, so it was an obvious choice to share our favorite recipes that highlight our signature hometown flavor."
Add deer antler spray at your own discretion. We kid, we kid. On to the recipes:
M&T Bank Stadium Crab Tots
Yield: serves 8
- 2 pounds tots (any supermarket brand will do)
- 2 cups diced tomato
- ½ cup chopped scallions
- 2 cups shredded cheddar/Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 pound lump crab meat
- 1 batch crab dip (recipe below)
Preheat broiler. Follow instructions on package for preparation of potato tots. Place hot tots in large casserole dish. Drizzle crab dip over tots and top with cheese. Add diced tomato and crabmeat. Place under broiler and remove once cheese has melted. Sprinkle with scallions and serve.
M&T Bank Stadium Crab Dip
- ½ cup diced onion
- 1/3 cup diced celery
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 pound cream cheese
- 4 ounces heavy cream
- 1 ½ teaspoon Old Bay
- 1 ½ teaspoon ranch powder mix
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Sweat the onion and celery in butter until translucent. Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil. Add the Old Bay, Worcestershire and ranch powder. Remove from heat and add the cream cheese, a few small pieces at a time, using a stick/wand mixer.
M&T Bank Stadium Crab Cake
Yield: 10 jumbo crab cakes
- 1 pound jumbo lump crabmeat
- 1 pound lump crabmeat
- 3 slices of cubed white bread (crust removed)
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 splashes Tabasco
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 beaten egg
- 3 tablespoons butter for frying
Carefully check the crab meat for any cartilage or shell. Put meat in a bowl and set it aside. Mix the bread with all of the remaining other ingredients (reserve all butter for sautéing). Gently fold in the crab; you don't want to break up the crab into fine shreds. Shape into 10 crab cakes, and refrigerate for at least one hour. Heat two tablespoons of butter in a non-stick frying pan. Sauté until golden brown on each side (about 3-5 minutes per side). Garnish with tartar sauce, remoulade, or with a squeeze of lemon.
M&T Bank Stadium Pit Beef Sandwich
Yield: 10 sandwiches
- 5 pounds of eye round or inside round of beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 large onion sliced thin
- 10 crusty Kaiser rolls
- horseradish
- spicy mustard
Mix all dry spices together. Remove meat from package and pat dry. Rub meat with olive oil and rub spice blend all over meat. Place meat on plate and refrigerate uncovered for 24-36 hours. Heat gas or charcoal grill on highest setting. Place meat on grill and cook over medium high heat. Turning regularly until meat reaches an internal temperature of 130 degrees (developing a good dark crust is crucial). Remove meat and rest on a plate for 10 minutes. Slice beef paper thin and place on Kaiser rolls with sliced onion, horseradish and mustard.

Today is the day the new NBA season begins. It has been a long awaited day, and every NBA fan on the planet is ready for another year to finally get underway.
However, before we jump into the unknown and endure our first season post-Big 3, I offer you to dip in the memories of the past years once more and enjoy how good the past six (well, in this case, the first three of those six) years have been.
This is the first of two parts of my project titled Ubuntu: The Era. It chronicles the tale of the Boston Celtics from 2007, when the Big Three first united, all the way to 2013, when the era of Ubuntu that had defined the past six years finally ended.
The video includes plenty of highlights, including Pierce's incredible duel with James in '08, the Celtics victory over the Lakers in the Finals, the ring ceremony, the classic Bulls-Celtics '09 series, the amazing '10 Playoffs run and much, much more. If you are a Celtics fan and have been for the past few years, this video will serve as a memory vault of the great things we've witnessed as fans. Enjoy! Video is after the jump.

Celtics center Nenad Krstic leaves game with knee injury
Mar 31, 2011, 11:51 PM EDT
UPDATE 11:51 pm: The Celtics announced that Krstic will undergo an MRI on his knee on Saturday, after the Celtics return to Boston.
You can count him out for Friday night's game against the Hawks in Atlanta for sure, as well as Sunday against Detroit. Somewhere in between there we should learn how long he will be out.
7:53 pm: The last thing the Celtics could afford was to lose another center, but that may well be what has happened.
Nenad Krstic's knee gave out and bent awkwardly when he planted as he ran down the lane in the second quarter. There was no meaningful contact, it was something where his right knee gave out on a cut.
Krstic limped off the court and did not return for the second half.
Officially, the Celtics are calling it a "right knee injury." However, David Aldridge on TNT spoke to Celtics coach Doc Rivers and relayed this quote:
"We do not know for sure but it does not look good."
Krstic came to the Celtics as part of the controversial Kendrick Perkins trade and has been pushed into a starting role due to injuries to Jermaine O'Neal and Shaquille O'Neal. Jermaine returned to the Celtics from knee surgery Thursday but his minutes are limited. Shaquille O'Neal will be back sometime between Sunday and the end of the season, depending on who you ask.
If this injury is as severe as it looked when it happened it would hamper what might well have been a center-by-committee approach by the Celtics in the playoffs.
- purdueman - Mar 31, 2011 at 10:15 PM
The story got sanitized by the media. When Krstic went down, rumor has it that he was CLEARLY heard to blurt out: "Oh my fuc&ing knee!", then grabbed his knee half way hunched over and danced around doing a little ditty to the delight of the crowd (who didn't realize that he was hurt and thought that he was auditioning for Dancing With the Stars!).
- mytthor - Mar 31, 2011 at 10:47 PM
Yes because it's so very important to the story that he cussed about his knee. If the media did their job, we wouldn't be sitting here thinking that knee injuries felt good, often making the injured player say "interesting feeling."
- purdueman - Mar 31, 2011 at 10:55 PM
mytt… you make a great point, but it was his previously undiscovered talent for dancing around that was the real story that the media buried! Jealousy is a terrible thing!
- oumoonunit - Mar 31, 2011 at 11:43 PM
The pride of Serbia!!!!!NO!!!!!!!Smrt u Grcki jezik!!!!!!!
- andyhr17 - Apr 1, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Hey, they're Even Steven. The same game they finally get JO back, Krstic goes out with a knee injury. My guess is that the game Shaq comes back, JO blows out his knee.
- hnirobert3 - Apr 1, 2011 at 10:44 AM
Impossible to blow out your knee when you're dead.
- purdueman - Apr 1, 2011 at 10:44 AM
The Celtics should spin off from the current NBA as we know it and start up an NBA Senior League for the aged, infirm and retired basketball players out there.
- andyhr17 - Apr 1, 2011 at 4:43 PM
What's it say about all of the other teams in the league when the Celtics can go to the finals 2 out of the last three years, and be 1 quarter away from winning it all in both of those appearances? Call them old, call them on the verge of retirement….they're still likely a better team than who you root for…..and I'm sure they are fine with you hating them for that.
- purdueman - Apr 1, 2011 at 8:10 PM
hey andyhr (and everyone else reading this)… did you know that Joe Montana NEVER lost three consecutive one and done playoff games during his entire NFL career? Guess that Tom "The next Joe Montana" Brady just doesn't measure up to classy Joe, huh? (LOL!)
- purdueman - Apr 1, 2011 at 8:08 PM
andyhr… ya, we know all about Boston fan all right… we've seen it over and over and over again no matter what Boston team you care to bring up. It's called "living in the past".
not that it matters, but the team that I root for I've rooted for for several decades through the down years as well as the up years, and fortunately my team is on an up year and pinning their hopes on a 39 year old broken down has been of a center. Good luck with that! Your Celtics will need it!
- ibejeph - Apr 1, 2011 at 10:44 AM
I hope everything is OK with his knee. Nenad already suffered a pretty bad knee injury before. It took him a while to work back into an NBA roster. I hope it is just something minor.

Yasmin Rodriguez: U. City Woman Found in Mississippi River; Child Still Missing
Categories: The Big Bloody (Homicides)
|Yasmin Rodriguez. Her two-year-old son is still missing.
Today Rodriguez's whereabouts are no longer a mystery with St. Louis police this afternoon identifying the 24-year-old as the corpse fished out of the Mississippi River back on April 9.
According to University City police, Rodriguez got into an argument March 28 with Gebar Byrd in the home they shared in the 6600 block of Crest in University City.
Rodriguez left the home sometime during the dispute, taking with her their toddler son, Gebar Byrd Jr. The boy remains missing.
|Gebar Byrd Jr. would have turned 2 on April 13.
As of right now police are treating Rodriguez's discovery as a "suspicious death" and report that no obvious signs of trauma were discovered on her body -- although that could change once the cause and time of death is determined.
University City police tell Daily RFT that Rodriguez originally hailed from Mexico. Her son is listed as black/Hispanic male with brown eyes and weighing 26 pounds.
Anyone with information into his disappearance and/or the death of his mother is encouraged to call CrimesStoppers at 866-371-TIPS.
Rodriguez's body was pulled from the river near Mullanphy Street north of downtown (below.)

STILLWATER, Okla. — Friends and family of a former OSU basketball player convicted of rape rally to his side.
Last week a Payne County jury convicted Darrell Williams on two counts of rape and one count sexual battery.
Some family friends of the convicted suspect have started an online petition and organized a prayer rally in Stillwater Wednesday.
Their goal is to right what they call an injustice.
"It upsets me very much that my friend is in jail for something he didn't do," family friend Brandi Miner-Robertson said.
The legal trouble began during a party in Stillwater when two women claimed Williams groped them and reached into their pants without consent.
Williams always denied the allegations; his friends cite a lack of any physical evidence.
"There's no DNA. There's nothing. It's a 'he-said, she-said' type case. Why the jury decided to believe the girls, I don't know," Miner-Robertson said.
The jury recommended Williams serve a three year prison sentence.
In response, Brandi began an online petition asking the judge to suspend the punishment and let Williams walk free.
"I just hope he looks at Facebook, at the petition, and sees how many people know Darrell is not capable of this crime," Miner-Robertson said.
"I don't think you put pressure like that on a judge," legal analyst David McKenzie said.
McKenzie doubts the prayers and petition will do much good.
After all, he said the law is not based on public opinion.
"To get on the internet and have signatures is meaningless and counter productive," McKenzie said.
The judge is set to decide Williams' fate Aug. 24.
"I hope my friend walks out those doors August 24 a free man," Miner-Robertson said.
During trial, OSU coach Travis Ford testified he did not think Williams is guilty of the crime.

thePlatform cues up live events console for broadcasters
Today video publishing vendor thePlatform, which is owned by Comcast, released a Web-based console that was designed to help programmers and broadcasters manage live events across multi-screen devices.
The console, which is an add-on to thePlatform's mpx video publishing system, allows thePlatform's customers to schedule and manage live events, such as sports, news or award shows.
"The topic de jour this year has really been around live events," said thePlatform's Marty Roberts, senior vice president, sales and marketing. "We're finding that there's a lot more talk and activity around live sports events. We also have news programmers that are looking to bring on more programs to make a more distinctive online experience around their live broadcasts of each event. We also have all kinds of different live events like award shows and things like that.
"There's really an expectation by our audience to consume those evens on all kinds of different devices, whether its an iPad, or a smart TV, you name it. Right now it's a little bit difficult to manage the end to-end process for live events to the players. The encoding process and the distribution process for live events has been handled independently of the content discovery, the policies and the players so we wanted to sync that up and make it a little bit tighter."
The console lets programmers and broadcasters schedule and manage live signal acquisition and encoding, handle dynamic advertising insertion and metadata creation, and automatically archive live video broadcasts to create video-on-demand (VOD) clips or replays.
Instead of cutting and pasting URL links to specific video streams that were managed by third-party systems, the new console manages those events in real time from a single Web console and uses thePlatform's Player Service to view live events on computers, smartphone, tablets and other devices.
On the encoding side, thePlatform has partnered with Elemental Live, but Roberts said additional encoding vendors would be added down the road.
By using the console, content producers can add graphics to a sports event, such as a yellow card during a soccer game, provide stock ticker information during a news report, or provide biographical information on an award winner during a live show.
The second front the console tackles is monetizing the content. By using SCTE 130 and 35-based standards, the console uses cue points for dynamic ad insertion. Roberts said online ad rights can differ from linear programming deals, but new ads can be dropped in via the cue points. For example, regional sports networks that want to use advertisements that are specific to their regions or content deals can also utilize the cue points. The company's initial advertsing partner is FreeWheel.
"Obviously making sure that whatever the rights are, whether you can only broadcast to a certain city, or only play it back as part of a pay-per-view event or advertising, we have to make sure we can monetize that," Roberts said.
The third leg of the new console is auto-archiving the content for VOD, which could include changing the stream format from Flash to MPEG-4. While the live event is airing, the media file and its associated cue points for ads, chapter breaks, and associated metadata are automatically saved and archived within mpx for VOD. This allows programmers and broadcasters to rapidly publish or syndicate the video to third-party sites or their own websites, and make the footage easily discoverable for search and recommendations.
"Our job in the ecosystem to is to take very complex tasks and make them simple for our customers," Roberts said. "We want to streamline the work load for live events. We want to be able to monetize the content, which means adding in dynamic ads in the cue points for our players to make a decision on which ad to play during that break, and then ultimately archiving that content and rapidly creating that VOD asset."
The new console is available today for an additional monthly cost to mpx users. Roberts said that the new console has been in performance tests with customers over the past few weeks.
Customers for thePlatform include: A+E Networks, BT, Cablevision, CBC, Comcast, Cox Communications, E!, the Golf Channel, HIT Entertainment, Liberty Global, NBC Local Media, NBC Sports Regional Networks, Outdoor Channel, Oxygen, Rogers, Shaw Media, Style, Syfy, Time Warner Cable, Travel Channel Media, truTV, and USA Network.

Change in culture was just what the franchise needed for growth
For the second consecutive postseason, the Pacers and Miami Heat clash — this time, with the right to play in the NBA Finals on the line. While both teams' cores remain the same, the Pacers' growth over a year's time is immense.
The biggest change in this franchise's recent history occurred on Jan. 30, 2011 when Frank Vogel was named interim head coach. Vogel, an assistant for three and a half seasons, already had a great rapport in the locker room.
In the summer of 2011, after Vogel guided the Pacers to a winning record and to the postseason for the first time since 2006, team officials removed his interim tag. They also signed free agent David West — an absolute game-changer in the locker room.
"It's all about culture and how we go about our business," Roy Hibbert said. "Before coach took over, we weren't built for deep playoff runs, we were built for shooing threes and getting up as many threes as possible [under Jim O'Brien].
Unlike O'Brien, who often clashed with players, Vogel expressed genuine enthusiasm and optimism, which was contagious — and appreciated. Vogel cleared the hurdle of being the good guy assistant coach to being the task master. He has the full respect of everyone within the franchise.
"He really just changed the whole locker room," said Paul George, the Pacers' draft selection in 2010. "It's positive vibes, it's positive energy. We're all pulling for one another. And I think that's the biggest thing out of anything he's done."
Assistant Dan Burke has seen the growth of Vogel, who joined the team in 2007, better than anyone.
"Frank is always positive, even as an assistant," Burke said. "When started being positive as the head coach, it took big leaps with the team. As the years have gone by, he's become more confident and assured of himself with after timeout plays and game plays, demanding more from our guys.
Vogel has won three of the five playoff series in which he's been the head coach, and he's advanced deeper in the playoffs each season.
"Every game you play, you gain in-game experience," he said. "And that's the one thing when you go from assistant coach to head coach that you can't replicate, and you can't study until you go through it. Having another 100 games or so under my belt helps me be a better game coach."
Growth goes beyond the head coach. Every single player on the Pacers' roster has improved. From Paul George, the NBA's Most Improved Player, all the way down to Orlando Johnson, who's received solid playing time for a rookie.
Lance Stephenson's improvement can go back to last summer where he remained in Indianapolis and could be seen at the Fieldhouse daily. He elevated his work ethic and started listening to guys rather than thinking he knew everything. The talent is certainly there. He's having to learn to be under control and maintain his confidence. He's no longer always the best player on the floor like he was in New York, but he can be one of the most impactful when he's focused.
Hibbert has made great strides becoming what Vogel describes as "the best rim protector in the game." In their second round series with New York, a great argument could be made that Hibbert was the teams' MVP. He locked down the paint, forced the Knicks settle for jumpers, and had the play of the series — a block on Carmelo Anthony late in Game 6 that changed the tide of the game.
"Just the attitude, the culture of the team changed to a tough, gritty team," Hibbert said of the team's development. "Paul [George] really played well. Lance [Stephenson] came into his own this year. G-Hill brought his experience from San Antonio."
Most of a player's development is dependent on how much work he's willing to put in, but he can also benefit from playing in the right system. The same way a player can also bottom out and sit the bench in the wrong opportunity. Vogel's demeanor has been infectious and his system puts the players in the best possible situation to succeed.
West, the oldest player and the backbone of this team, has come up in big moments when the team needed something. He's been as steady as they come, and will be a highly sought after free agent come July 1. He keeps the locker room in check and was the one that huddled the players together after beating the Atlanta Hawks in the first round. There, he reminded the guys that the win was great, but the ultimate prize was still 12 wins away.
The Pacers have made it to the NBA's Final Four without a megastar on their roster. They are the first team to reach the conference finals without a top-five draft pick since the Utah Jazz in 1994. D.J. Augustin, the ninth pick in 2008 (selected by Charlotte), is the highest-drafted player on their roster.
Instead of seeking revenge from last season, the Pacers are approaching it like it's next step on their quest for a championship. Due to the fact that they nearly had a hold of the series last year – they led 2-1 and were ahead by eight points at halftime of Game 4, in Indianapolis – and have had tremendous growth this season, the Pacers are a confident, together group heading into Game 1 on Wednesday.
"When we were up 2-1 last year [against Miami], we dropped the ball," said West. "We felt all year that we were in that top two in the East, even though we started off slow and we had different lineup changes. Once we solidified our front-five, adjusted some of the things we were doing offensively and became the together group defensively, things have been building towards this.
"Everything with this group is about growth."
There's no fear in their eyes with the task of facing the defending champions. Instead, they relish the opportunity to not only play for a conference title, but have to beat the NBA's best to advance to the franchise's second NBA Finals in history, and the first since 2000.
"I write the word 'Believe' on the board every game," Vogel told his team Saturday after topping the Knicks. "I believed you guys were going to beat New York and I believe we're just getting warmed up."

Discussions of robotics and the law tend to take on an air of science fiction, asking how we might parse responsibility and rights in an age of autonomous machines and programs. But we need not look so far into the future. There are millions of robots in use today with many more expected within the next few years. Are these "personal robots" the next personal computers? And, if so, are changes necessary to the law in the short run to preserve innovation and incentive safety? Join Ryan Calo for a conversation about the immediate future of robotics and the legal infrastructure that will receive them.

Learning to Enjoy Your Own Company
It's so easy to become stuck in the belief that someone else is the source of your comfort and happiness. Anne-Sophie Reinhardt. body image expert and author, believes you can be your own partner. Read on to find out how.
Warmer weather is here for most of us– a time that screams "couples," "togetherness," "dating," and pretty much anything but enjoying your very own company.
Yet, whether you're single or in a satisfying relationship, it's crucial to feel comfortable when you're on your own, spending time with just yourself.
The truth is nobody can and will make you happy if you're not at peace being on your own.
I'm speaking from painful experience. When I got married at the age of 22 after, get ready for it, six short weeks of knowing my husband, I was miserable. I hated my life, the world and, most of all, myself.
Yet, I believed that now that I had that special someone in my life, everything would change. It had to, right? After all, I was not alone anymore. So, I'd surely be living in a blissful state of sunshine, self-love and butterflies.
Three years later, I'm going through a divorce and I've learned my lesson. Before you can have a deep and lasting relationship with anybody, you have to accept, appreciate and love yourself first.
So, let's take this season as an opportunity to give ourselves the gift of learning to appreciate our own company.
Have a date night with yourself. Most people think that going out to dinner alone or going to the movies by yourself is a sign of living a sad life. I strongly disagree. Taking yourself out for a date can be a very special time if you realize that you're not alone but you're with yourself. Remember, you're an actual person too. So, get dressed up, choose a fancy restaurant, a fun rom-com and treat yourself as you would a date.
Sit in silence, even if it hurts. Do you have a hard time sitting in stillness because your inner voice is tormenting you? Try to do it anyway. Sit in silence for 10 minutes and then journal about your feelings if you like. The more often you choose to sit in silence and focus on your breathing or meditate, whatever you want to call it, the more comfortable you'll feel. You'll realize that your thoughts are just ramblings, little lies going through your mind. They can't hurt you if you won't let them. Place your attention on your breath over and over again and see how your entire being relaxes.
Take a trip by yourself. I love to travel on my own. It never fails to uplift me, challenge me and increase my self-efficacy. I learn something new about myself every single time, whether I travel across the pond or just around the corner from my hometown. Traveling on your own may be scary at first and you probably think that you can't ever do it, but yes, you can. Give it a try. Jump into it with both feet and you'll see how much fun you can have with yourself. You'll actually get to do what you want to do, see what you want to see and pause when you want to pause. Pretty awesome, right?
Get down to the nitty gritty of being yourself. What is it you actually like? Do have any idea or have you just always done what other people told you to do? If you're up for it, light a candle and incense and do some self-reflection. Start with easy questions like what your favorite color really is and then go into the harder ones like what you want your life to be about.
Face your reflection. Look in the mirror and tell yourself that you love yourself. Say this out loud as often as you need to. This can bring up a lot of uncomfortable feelings. You may even want to have some tissues ready. This is a powerful exercise and will deepen your level of self-love and self-acceptance. Try to do it every morning and look yourself in the eyes. One day, you will end up meaning the words you're saying.
Enjoying your company, loving the time you spend with yourself gives your life and your relationships a whole new level of intimacy and depth. The more you practice it, the deeper your relationship with yourself gets.
So, starting today, pay attention to your needs and desires by spending time with yourself.

Read Poems by
Orlin Collier
All stars could be brighter
All hearts could be warmer
If i could find a place in your heart
youve written a sad song
the one i found
you were laying on the floor
holding it close to your heart
I dont think i deserved this
My heart turned into ice
Melted at the sight of your pictures
I held your hand
while you were sleeping in your casket
I kissed your cheek
While people passed your viewing
Youve written a sad song
the one i found
you were laying on the floor
Holding it close to your heart
What would it take for things to be quiet?
passing the sound of your voice
While laying on the bed we once slept in
Holding eachother for warmth
youve written the saddest song
No one can recover
Our last memory of you
Laying helpless on the floor
I could have done better
Finding my way into your heart

Cooking Churrasco in a Pan.
so, broiling isn't a good option?
so, broiling isn't a good option?
cause I dont wanna get wet..lol...
you have a point..no wonder when I googled I didnt find anything, I found one recipe that had a broiler instructions.. 6 inches from heat, for 10 minutes total fipping it once. I hope that works out.
Wow, in one single post, I think I have gotten so much useful advice.
McNormal, I like your approach...
Thanks for the input trebor, and Thank you Comfort of Cooking, you guys are great.
thanks for the support guys,
I am just trying to learn the basics,
simple stuff,
pork chops, with rice and canned vegetables
steak with potatoes.
any help is appreciated.
I have about 2 lbs of frozen ground beef, and wanted to make some sort of tasty pasta with it, anyone know any good simple quick recipes. Everytime I try this on my own with just some salt paper and store bought pasta sauce, the group beef comes out so bland.
Any help is wanted.
I am learning to cook, and I found a recipe on churrascso, I have been marinating it since last night, but my grill won't be able to be used since its raining, and want to know how i can cook this churrasco indoors.
I am mostly looking for how long I should cook it for, and how long I should let the pan pre-heat for, and how much heat I should use. I use a Electric Range, and I also have a griddle that goes up to 400 degree's.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to learn to cook, quick meals for dinner for me and my wife after work, and I always seem to be disappointed. I have gathered recipes from a couple of well known sites including food network, and group recipes. Some recipes are cryptic to say the least, I think it would be best to learn with some Video's or something. Any idea's on good websites for starting off, with simple meals and moving my way up?

Bush team's about-face on Guantanamo overdue
Americans owe vote of thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court for ending the nation's denial of all rights to detainees held there.
The administration this week said detainees at Guantanamo are entitled to Geneva Conventions protection. A new policy was outlined in a memo by Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, which cites Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions on the humane treatment of prisoners. England's memo said, "You will ensure that all DoD (Department of Defense) personnel adhere to these standards."
News of the changed stance came as the Senate Judiciary Committee opened hearings on the issue. "We're not going to give the Department of Defense a blank check," said Sen. Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, the committee chairman.
On military tribunals, White House spokesman Tony Snow said the president will work with Congress to find a way "to properly do this consistent with national security." The jury is still out on whether the military tribunals can be, or even should be, saved by congressional action.
The military prison called Camp Delta was set up at the Guantanamo Bay naval base because it supposedly would be out of reach of U.S. courts. Prisoners of the war on terror have been held indefinitely without charges, and some reportedly have been subjected to physical and psychological abuse.
Any way you look at it, it was a huge blunder. Calling the Geneva Conventions "quaint" and not applicable in the war on terror, as some administration spokesmen have, was a mistake. Military officials warned that undermining the Geneva Conventions could increase the danger for captured U.S. soldiers, now and in future wars.
The operation of Camp Delta, the persistent reports of abuse, and the administration's insistence that it was not bound by U.S. or international laws in treating prisoners in the war on terror, have given this country a black eye around the world. It has been a public relations nightmare. Some would say, "So what?" So we need the support of other countries to win the war on terrorism.
The deputy defense secretary's memo stressing the need to adhere to Geneva Conventions is a welcome change. It shows the administration is willing to reinstate the proven techniques that have been developed by the military after decades of experience.
The court's ruling also showed the world that the United States, even in the midst of war, is still governed by the rule of law. That goes a long way toward restoring our credibility, which has taken such a terrible beating as a result of what happened at Camp Delta.

Is the glass half-full or half-empty or are we not yet at halftime?
Were we to close the mountain as scheduled on Sunday, April 17th, we would now be halfway through our 143-day season. So you could say, "I can't believe we are already halfway through" or you could think, "We still have half the winter to go." Or if you are an optimist like me, you could say, "We already have had more snow than last year and February is historically our snowiest month followed by March."
If we get those historical averages, we could be seeing some great spring skiing through the end of April and even into May.
So I want to remind everyone that the best skiing here is usually in the second half of the season. March and April can be awesome. Unfortunately, too many people forget about skiing in April and we have empty slopes when the skies are blue, the temperatures are pleasant and the snow is soft. So don't forget!
Last week really was one to be out on the mountain. The 21 inches that we had midweek followed by the 10 inches we got on Saturday night have set-up everything beautifully. We are looking at more snow Monday night into Tuesday and another potential snowfall later in the week.
It is going to be another week that you want to be out skiing and riding here at Sugarbush.
So what would you expect a former Executive Vice President of Merrill Lynch to do when he retires? Lay low in the islands? Nope. He moves north and works seven days a week right here at Sugarbush. Check out what he's been thinking.

Comments about Nike Women's Free Flyknit 4.0 Running Shoes:
A friend of mine has been running in the nike free flyknit for a while and I've always been curious. I have a pair of everyday barefoot shoes and I love walking around in them. I had a 15% off in-store coupon when I picked up a race packet so I decided to buy a pair. I'm so glad I did.
The lightweight feel is awesome, but what I'm really surprised by is how comfortable they feel on the bottom of my feet. I have higher arches, but these feel like my whole foot is supported. And the minimal cushion is more than enough. I've run outside and on the treadmill and I find that I have more energy left in my legs over longer distances. If you've been considering these, I can say I certainly love mine. I'll be buying another pair when these wear out.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating book, which you will treasure!
This book is a history of the English language, with particularly interesting chapters on the beginnings of language, wordplay, pronunciation, swearing, spelling, varieties, and just about everything you would ever want to know about our mother tongue. The only question I still have that Bryson was not able to answer was why was the language of the Angles adopted in...

1.0 out of 5 stars So many factual errors and urban myths, more harm than good
Bill Bryson's book MOTHER TONGUE has an admirable goal, to present the evolution and current state of the English language in a simple and intriguing fashion. However, it is a book full of factual errors. On nearly every page this is an urban myth, folk etymology, or misunderstanding of linguistics.

This book is a history of the English language, with particularly interesting chapters on the beginnings of language, wordplay, pronunciation, swearing, spelling, varieties, and just about everything you would ever want to know about our mother tongue. The only question I still have that Bryson was not able to answer was why was the language of the Angles adopted in England, rather than the language of the dominant group, the Saxons? Bryson says that we just don't know why.
I never thought a book on English (and languages, in general) would get me to laugh out loud, but this one did many times. For example, Bryson writes that "some languages have words that we may be pleased to do without," such as the German word "schadenfreude" (which means "taking delight in the misfortune of others") or how about "sgiomlaireachd" (meaning "dropping in at mealtimes" in Scottish Gaelic)? The delight that Bryson takes in languages is, well, simply wonderful: He writes that strozzapreti is a pasta in Italy and means "strangled priests" and that vermicelli means "little worms." Or how about that "A ydycg wedi talu a dodi eich tocyn yn y golwg?" is Welsh for "Did you remember to pay?" Bryson is also quick to give opinions, such as: "There is no logical reason not to split an infinitive" and "Sentences [can] end with a preposition." Then he tell us the sources of these "dubious" strictures.
Bryson is intrigued about where English words come from, and they come from many other languages: Scandinavian (skull, leg, husband, rotten, their), Norman French (jury, traitor, marriage, govern), native American ("hoochinoo" became hooch!), Mexican-Spanish (rancher), German (dollar), etc. In fact, only about 1% of our words are Old English ones (but they include man, wife, and love) we discover. Where do our words come from? Well, about 1,700 were invented by Shakespeare alone, including the following words: critical, monumental, castigate, majestic, obscene, excellent, and lonely. Also quite interesting is how English words have changed in the last millennium: For example, to Chaucer a "girl" meant any young person, "brave" implied cowardice (which "bravado" still does), and that "knight" was pronounced something like "kuh-nee-guh-tuh.". And new words keep coming ("apolitical" is only 50 years old)! And, of course, we learn that English has influenced other languages greatly: in China, conversations occur on the "te le fung," a Ukrainian goes to the barber for a "herkot," and a Japanese commuter is crammed into a subway car during "rushawa" (rush hour)!
And where else would I have discovered such facts as these?: that there are 176 names for dust balls under the bed; that there are 17 different pronunciations for the word "house" in Northern England; that there are no Chinese crossword puzzles (because there is no alphabet); that Kennedy means "ugly head" in Gaelic; that the Japanese, Malayans, and American Indians do not have have any swear words in their native languages; that an anagram for "The Morse Code" is "Here come dots"; that a couple of centuries ago, many words could be spelled two or more ways, but today there are only three such words in North America (ax/axe, gray/grey, and inquire/enquire); that the Pilgrims were among the first generation in England who said "has" rather than "hath" and "runs" instead of "runneth"; and that "O.K." is "arguably America's single greatest gift to international discourse, able to serve as an adjective, verb, noun, interjection, and adverb," with obscure origins that may be someone's initials (Martin Van Buren's nickname, "Old Kinderhook"), a popular snack (Orrins-Kendall crackers), or words in Finnish ("oikea"), Haitian ("Aux Cayes," a source of rum), or Choctaw ("okeh"), or perhaps a contraction of "oll korrect" (which is how Andrew Jackson spelled this expression)!
This is a book to treasure!

1.0 out of 5 stars So many factual errors and urban myths, more harm than good,
Christopher Culver (Cluj-Napoca, Romania or Helsinki, Finland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
Bill Bryson's book MOTHER TONGUE has an admirable goal, to present the evolution and current state of the English language in a simple and intriguing fashion. However, it is a book full of factual errors. On nearly every page this is an urban myth, folk etymology, or misunderstanding of linguistics.
Bryson writes charming travelogues - THE LOST CONTINENT is a book I'd recommend to any foreigner wanting to learn about rural America - but he is an amateur with an interest in wordplay and not a professional linguist. Much of the book appears to have been thrown together from older books on language for the popular reader, especially those of Otto Jespersen, Mario Pei, and Montagu, which themselves have been criticised for errors and oversimplications.
The errors of the book astound from the start any reader with the slighest knowledge of language. Bryson speaks of the Eskimos having a multitude of words for snow, though this urban myth causes linguists to shudder and has been soundly debunked in THE GREAT ESKIMO VOCABULARY HOAX. Bryson goes on to say that Russian has no words for "efficiency", "engagement ring", or "have fun", a preposterous statement that can be proved wrong by any Russian speaker. His knowledge of British history is also shaky, as he asserts that the Saxon invaders eliminated entirely the former Celtic inhabitants, but in reality they merely imposed their language and Britons now remain essentially the same people genetically as 4,000 years ago.
Every reader who speaks another language besides English will find a most annoying mistake in THE MOTHER TONGUE. For me, a speaker of Esperanto, it was Bryson's ridiculous summary of the language. He begans by mispelling the name of the language's initiator. Then he asserts that the language has no definite articles - it does - but then gives a sample of the language in which this definite article he just denied is used twiced (and mispelled once).
These are only a few examples, the book is filled with multitudes more.
While the birth and growth of the English language is a fascinating subject, it's a shame that it is spoiled in MOTHER TONGUE by an abundance of errors. If you are interested about how English got the way it is today, I'd recommend trying another book, one preferably written by someone with a degree in linguistics.

4.0 out of 5 stars Knowing, entertaining, just a tad dated,
C. Ebeling "ctlpareader" (PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
When Bill Bryson doesn't have anything else to do (yeah, right), he might want to consider issuing a revised edition of this entertaining but somewhat dated book. As he so ably points out, language is protean and much has changed in the last 15 years since he worked on this. In addition to new research and revelations that might correct or amend the text, there is the incomparable affect of the internet that has arisen since this book saw the light, not to mention the "business speak" that corporate culture has been slipping in of late.
That said, there is much to be gained by reading this book. Bryson's wonder and delight in the English language is contagious. While some of the historical information may be familiar at first, especially if you, like him, have read McCrum's THE STORY OF ENGLISH, his sorting out of the origins of our language and historical forces is quite lucid and thorough refresher course. What I especially appreciated was his look at how American and English usage and pronunciation diverged. I did not realize that the plummy "ah" sound that Americans identify so strongly with the British accent, as in glahss and cahn't, only came about in the 18th century, a social fashion that survived. I've come away with a better understanding of the role of how geographic movement and isolation affects language, as well as the very human need to name everything in site.
A note to recently indoctrinated Bryson fans: this was written rather early in his book career, in his English mode. Keep in mind that he only got better and funnier, though there is a sharp intelligence, graceful voice and sly wit behind every sentence of this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Superficially Entertaining but Disastrously Flawed,
Brian M. Scott (Cleveland Heights, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
It is unfortunate that Bill Bryson writes so entertainingly, because the book's content is disastrously bad. The book is replete with elementary errors of fact. Many of these can be detected with nothing more than a good dictionary: 'law' and 'order' are not synonyms, 'swarthy' is not from Latin 'sordere', and 'bumf' is not from a non-existent German 'bumfodden' but from the self-explanatory British 'bum-fodder' (toilet paper). Others are equally elementary: for instance, the High German sound shift took place in the south of Germany, not the north.
He fares no better when he deals with more technical matters. He loves to count inflectional forms of words in different languages, but most of his counts are wrong. His history of the alphabet from Old to Present-Day English is riddled with errors of fact. His treatment of the sounds of English is hopelessly confused because he fails completely to distinguish phones from phonemes; indeed, he seems to confuse at least one of these with the graphs used to represent them. His discussion of the Great Vowel Shift, a fundamental change that explains many of the apparent oddities of modern English spelling, is partly wrong and wholly confusing.
Hard as it is to excuse such cavalier treatment of the facts, it is even harder to excuse his logical inconsistencies and muddy thinking. On the one hand, 'To a baby no language is easier or more difficult than any other'; on the other, Old English was so complicated that '[i]t is a wonder that anyone ever learned to speak it'. At one point he lists 'Celtic' as a European language that disappeared over time, and in the very next sentence he avers that 'Celtic ... is not dead'. (He appears to have confused languages with language families.) In comparing modern English spelling to that of Old English he applies a double standard in order to make modern spelling seem more arbitrary than it really is. And one wonders what distinction between 'hair' and 'hairs' made in Shakespeare's 'Shee hath more haire than wit, and more faults than hairs' is 'effectively lost to us today'.
But the errors are not the book's worst feature. Bryson returns again and again to three themes: (1) English is in most respects superior to all other languages, partly because (2) complex inflectional systems are BAD, and (3) English spelling is almost completely chaotic. He has moments of moderation in which he qualifies these assertions, even at one point denying the first altogether, but they are far less memorable than the polemics supporting them, and it is noteworthy that many of his errors and misleading statements reinforce these same themes.
Bryson's linguistic chauvinism is appalling. The English range of sounds is 'pleasingly' diverse, but Anglo-French was 'harsh, clacking, guttural'. 'Italians cannot distinguish between a niece and a granddaughter'? Of course they can. And to say that the meaning of German 'Schadenfreude' 'perhaps tells us as much about Teutonic sensitivity as it does about their neologistic versatility' is simply insulting. One is not greatly surprised to find that the index has an entry for 'English, advantages of' but none for 'English, disadvantages of'. One can also discover that while foreign words and phrases are 'adopted' into English, English words and phrases are 'expropriated' into other tongues.
A reader searching for a readable elementary introduction to the history of the English language would be much better off with Charles Barber's _The English Language: A Historical Introduction_.

2.0 out of 5 stars Do not trust the facts in this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
This book is a quick read -- entertaining and light -- but no one should trust the facts that are tossed around in it. Bryson's knowledge of languages other than English is shaky at best, and he makes countless mistakes in his various attempts at translation. He also has a very superficial understanding of grammar (as evinced by Chapter 9). On p. 142, he claims that petroleum has both Latin and Greek roots, "(Latin petro + Greek oleum)," but it is the opposite: petra is Greek and oleum is Latin. Not a big deal of course, but this book is literally peppered with inaccuracies such as this one. I wish someone had fact-checked this book, because it could have been a valuable tool. As it is, the information is often imprecise, or just plain wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Lovely little book,
C. J. Thompson "Arctic John" (Pond Inlet, Nunavut Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
I owned this book for many years before I read another Bryson book... It was a book I loved the first time I read it and every time thereafter. I never paid attention to the name of the author, at first, and, for some inexplicable reason, had always had some vague the author was a woman. Many years after acquiring the book I was lent a copy of A Short History of Nearly Everything (which I ended up reading in one night). Afterwards, I made a note of the author's name (intending to buy more of his/her works) and realized that the writer of this highly enjoyable book was the creator of the 'Mother Tongue'.
I realize this book has been roundly criticized for numerous factual errors and I would prefer to know that some areas had been better researched. However, that being said, if you want an erudite scholarly work you will generally end up with something that reads like an erudite, scholarly work... this book is a light-hearted romp and I don't think Mr Bryson has ever pretended it was otherwise. He makes me laugh with many of his turns of phrase... I can always go check facts against other works if the need arises.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun listening - you can hear the difference,
bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mother Tongue (Audio Cassette)
This book contains more than you expect. Bill Bryson covers language its self with a focus on English. The book covers speech from a historical view, a physical view, an environmental view, a utilitarian view, and many other views. You will want to play the tape over again as it cruses through many concepts that leave you thinking and speculating how it could have all gone differently.
A highlight for me (aside from his dirty word list) was the recognition that we try to impose Old Latin syntaxes on Modern English and it can get reticules.
My only disappointment comes when he mentions things I have already read and gets it wrong or off the mark.
The advantage of the tape is that you actually hear the pronunciations. When it is a matter of spelling the reader will spell it out for you. Also the reader has the ability to change accents to fit the dialect samples.
The disadvantage is when you want to turn back to a particular page for cross-reference; there is no page to turn. So I would be smart to won both versions.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bryson's trip of the Tongue.,
G. Merritt - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
Before writing about his attempt to hike the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail in A WALK IN THE WOODS, and then describing his journey through the scientific universe in his more recent A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING, Bill Bryson took an encyclopedic trip through the history of the English language, from man's first Neanderthal grunt 30,000 years ago, to the language as we now know it. As Shakespeare was inventing words like "critical," "leapfrog," "majestic," "obscene," "frugal," "radiance," "excellent," "gust," "hint," "hurry," "lonely," "summit," and "monumental," words which had never been used before, a British scholar was predicting that "the English tongue" was of "small account, stetching no further than this island of ours." Neither writer probably had any idea that the English language would someday evolve into the predominant language of the world (p. 66). In his book, Bryson retraces that fascinating evolution through fascinating chapters on pronunciation, spelling, usage, swearing, and wordplay, revealing along the way that "one of the undoubted virtues of English is that it is a fluid and democratic language in which meanings shift and change in response to presssures of common usage rather than the dictates of committees" (p. 145).
This book is characteristic Bryson, and Bryson fans won't be disappointed. I especially enjoyed this book, but then again I'm biased. I must confess English has always been one of my favorite subjects. (My undergraduate degree was in English, and I studied linguistics and rhetoric in grad school, while simultaneously devouring all the Victorian novels.) Other readers may find reading Bryson's book about as much fun as diagraming sentences. Still other more academic readers may find it a bit of a scholarly disappointment. But, written with Bryson's distinctive wit and plenty of entertaining anecdotes, it will nevertheless appeal to a general audience of readers, rewarding them with a greater appreciation of the language in all of its idiosyncratic forms.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Book with a Ton of Wrong Information,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
The Mother Tongue was the first major book on language I ever read. I must say, I found it highly enjoyable and very interesting at the time, and I found it very informative as well. However, after I returned to the book lately, with a great deal more linguistic knowledge than I possessed before, though I am not by any means an expert, I found myself astonished by what I was reading. This is a book in desperate need for an editor with a sharp eye for facts, because although some parts of the book are correct, far too much of it is just misinformation.
The easiest thing for anyone even slightly versed in a foreign language to catch is Bill Bryson's complete lack of knowledge on foreign pronounciation. He makes such claims as that German people cannot pronounce v's when infact v is a common sound in the German language, claims the Danish name for Copenhagen, K�bnhavn is pronounced Kohbenhawen (when in fact its pronounced Köbenhahven, with a German o umlaut), among other things. He also appears to lack any serious knowledge of Archaic English pronounciation, claiming such things as that Chaucer pronounced a double o as in food. He also lacks understanding as to the arising of pairs like knife knives and grass graze, when any person who has studied Middle English in any detail can tell you they come originally from voicing sounds between vowels (knif, knives, gras, grazen). He also claims as that damp, a word with ancient Germanic roots, was coined in the 17th century. In short, he appears to possess next to no real knowledge on the subject of English language history, or foreign, for that matter.
Less trival for someone writing on language is his lack of understanding in the area of verb conjugation and form. He makes the claim that I am driving is in the present tense, when any language student can tell him that I am driving is an auxillary tense utilizing the present participle of drive. Similarly his claim that the form drive as present tense is found in to drive, would drive, will drive, is absurd. to drive is an infinitive, would drive a past subjunctive, and will drive a future. They all use auxillaries, something Mr. Bryson was apparently not informed about during his research for this book.
The author also shows an amazing lack of common sense at points, claiming that -gry in angry and hungry is a sufix, when anyone can see that it's a contracted form of hungery and angery, thus the sufix is not -gry but the extremely common -y.
The book does have its good points. (...)
In short, this book must be read with a grain of salt. Any serious language student will find himself in disagreement with it often on technical details, in which he will be himself in the right. However, these errors do not totally outway the book as a whole, and so it should be a welcome introduction to any library.

This review is from: The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way (Paperback)
I got the inspiration for my book review title from the German word "bundesbahnangestelltenwitwe" (window of a federal railway employee) one of the many words discussed in this mini-tour-de-force all too short 270 page book. I hope it does not trigger a headache!
I first came across Bill Bryson's books quite by accident. I was in an airport bookstore in Australia and they had large piles of his book with a bright yellow and blue book covers that were quite literally selling like hot cakes. That was his book "Down Under" about Australia and it was actually very popular in that country. I bought the book and read it on the flight home and finished a day or two later. Since then I have been hooked on his books. He employs a combination of knowledge, good stories, excellent writing, and humor. I have tried to buy and read all of his books, but still have a few to read.
The present book is a quick and an all too short introduction to all aspects of the language presented in a humorous way in a series of short chapters - each being an introduction to the topic. One can actually pick up the book and read just one chapter at random since each chapter is a self contained short story on that particular aspect of the language including "Names", "Spelling", "Where Words Come From", etc. It is all very interesting, entertaining, and illuminating.
It gives an introduction to the origins, the evolution of words and language, pronunciation, spelling, and transoceanic evolution of the language - all written at the level of the average reader. He presents many coincidences in words and phrases from different parts of the world and ages that one cannot logically connect, but seem to have common language threads, and even specific words.
The book is a nice but too short introduction to the subject. It includes a nice collection of follow up books to consider in an attached Bibliography. There the reader can continue the subject at their leisure reading more academic or comprehensive books.
For the uninitiated, once you read this book you will not view speaking in the same way. He brings us many new insights. If this or similar books were available to school students, maybe students would have a greater love of languages.
I would have liked to see a longer book than 250 pages plus references and that is the main weakness. Also there might be some minor errors. So I feel it probably deserves 3 or 4 stars. But I am giving it 4 stars because he has written a very easy to read introduction to a complex and possibly otherwise dull subject and at the same time created a best seller. Anyone can read and enjoy this book. To create such a book is a difficult challenge that he has conquered with ease.
Even though I rate it 4 stars (and it is not Bryson's best) it is strongly recommended to buy. It is a "gateway" book that will lead the reader to new and interesting books.
