Follow-Up | Dow Indicator | Preview
Whatever the political desirability of Mitt Romney's plan to cut individual tax rates 20% and eliminate deductions, a recent analysis shows it could very well be economically attractive.
Romney has outlined what personal income-tax reform under his watch might look like: Extend the Bush tax cuts, end the alternative-minimum tax, lose the extra income taxes from Obamacare and cut income-tax rates to a range of 8% to 28% from the current 10% to 35%. His campaign asserts that the cuts are "revenue-neutral" if itemized deductions are removed.
But Brian Wesbury, chief economist of First Trust Advisors, has calculated that the plan could actually increase tax receipts in 2015 by $145 billion, and even more if tax cuts stimulate economic growth.
Based on the latest IRS data from 2009, Wesbury projects that individual income-tax receipts would total $1.4 trillion in 2015, the earliest a Romney plan might be implemented. Adding back $1.7 trillion of itemized deductions to taxable income and taxing it at 25%—the average tax rate on higher earners—would raise $425 billion in revenue. Wesbury figures the lower tax rates would cost the Treasury $280 billion in revenue, resulting in $145 billion in added receipts from Romney's plan. And, he estimates that the new rates would stimulate the economy, adding $120 billion more to Uncle Sam's coffers.
Jonathan Burks, a Romney policy official, calls the analysis "further evidence" that the plan can be revenue-neutral and still preserve key tax preferences for the middle class. Lower rates, he says, are a crucial part of restoring robust growth.

In many cases, potential gains have been offset by productivity penalties due, in part, to a much greater complexity of acoustical issues. The results of the ASID study suggest that the problem is widespread. In fact, an alarming 70% of the respondents felt their productivity would increase if workspaces were less noisy. Underscoring the problem, a follow-up study found that 81% of business executives were unaware of the issue and unconcerned about office noises. Apparently, the complaints of the workers are being lost in the din of the office.
Some now see the open office as strictly an economic play, providing a vehicle for cost and space savings at the expense of occupancy quality. Others maintain the original vision of positive cultural changes and employee satisfaction. Whether the rationale is to promote better teamwork or simply to increase the number of people per square foot, open office layouts and the associated noise issues aren't going away any time soon. It is a situation that demands attention, a view shared by many including Case Runolfson, CFM, Vice President of Facilities Management for Irving Group in Washington, D.C. Mr. Runolfson recently commented on the situation, stating that, "Effective sound suppression is the most difficult challenge remaining in the open seating plan work environment." With an eye towards solutions, he noted the benefits of a properly specified carpet-cushion composite from the perspective of both acoustic management and the improved carpet appearance retention and life cycle.

With Penn State trailing by just a touchdown and its offense nearing midfield, tight end Andrew Szczerba was stripped by Alabama defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick. The Crimson Tide recovered and took advantage with an 11-play drive that culminated with the first of Heisman Trophy hopeful Trent Richardson's two rushing touchdowns.
That was the kind of day it turned out to be for the Penn State offense in the team's 27-11 home loss to Alabama on Saturday. Two fumbles, an interception and dropped passes contributed to Penn State's absence from the scoreboard from halfway through the first quarter to when there was only 1:53 left in a long-since decided game.

Join this series of three webinars that explore assistive technology (AT) and accessible educational materials (AEM) considerations and provisions for students throughout Wyoming.
AT Consideration - March 3, 2016, noon – 1 p.m. MST In this webinar, participants will be introduced to recommendations of a consideration process for the use of assistive technology (AT) for service teams of all types. AT consideration is viewed as a part of a problem-solving process that will lead to a more targeted approach of the delivery of accommodations and supports. Steps in the problem-solving process will be reviewed, along with the introduction of some recommended supporting documents. The webinar is presented in the hopes of streamlining a systematic and thoughtful approach to the consideration and use of assistive technology for individuals with developmental differences.
AEM Provision Based Best Practices - March 10, 2016, 11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m. MST Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND) is located on the University of Wyoming campus in Laramie. The Wyoming Department of Education (WDE) conducted a survey focused on the provision of accessible educational materials (AEM) across the state of Wyoming. As a result, school districts responses showed there was a need to create a researched based best practices resource document. The AEM Provision Based Best Practices document has been created to support IEP teams and school districts with the provision of AEM. This webinar will outline the researched based document to assist school districts with the provision of AEM. From the AEM provision resource, UW-WIND will ask participating school districts to give feedback on this resources' accessibility across school districts in Wyoming.
AEM and Assistive Technology - March 17, 2016, noon – 1 p.m. MST Participants will learn how to support the provision of accessible educational materials (AEM) using assistive technology (AT). We will go over the qualifications of a print disability and the provision of AEM. Wyoming Institute for Disabilities (WIND) will be demonstrating text-to-speech apps to support the provision of AEM. Bookshare and Learning Ally will also be demonstrated and the qualifications needed in order for students to access accessible educational materials on these platforms. We will also be demonstrating strategies to create accessible educational materials for articles, class assignments, and other educational materials. We hope this webinar will give educators the opportunity to learn more about accessible educational materials and assistive technology.

Mikey The Rockstar
I have to admit: this movie was pretty different. But it was really funny to see Mikey singing the song, and Mikey being a lead singer for a rock-band is priceless.
The graphics could have been a little better when you zoomed up to the people's faces, pixels suck.. But hey, what can ya do? The sounds were great (albeit the weird Aaron Carter voice at the end.. If that was Aaron Carter). But overall, a pretty funny movie that should really help Mikey's reputation and get him a girlfriend! Ahaha.

Cybergrass features daily updated news. All news is saved and collected into monthly volumes for searching and reviewing. Members are encouraged to submit their own news and event information. All content is reviewed before being accepted, so read the FAQ on the submit news page before you submit.
Terms And Conditions
What Kind of News Do You Accept?
Only news that is of a general nature, national or international interest and that pertains to bluegrass, acoustic or folk music will be considered.
News that is for promotion will only be considered if it will appeal to a very wide audience and contains content specific to bluegrass or acoustic music. Promotional news must contain content that is newsworthy and relates to bluegrass music to be considered. Advertising is better served using our web links area. If you're considering advertising on Cybergrass, please read our FAQ on Advertising for more information.
Submissions for new products are generally discouraged unless they pertain to bluegrass music (instruments, learning bluegrass, etc.) Items for copying CDs or DVDs, MPEG encoders and such will not be considered.
Local events and regional artists are better served using our Forums, Event Calendar or the Web Links pages.
Event notices should be placed in our Events Calendar. Only those events of national interest or where there is a story with the event will be considered for the News section of Cybergrass.
Not all items submitted will be added to Cybergrass. Cybergrass reserves the right to moderate, edit or accept items for the magazine.
What Content do you Consider?
News items should be your original material. News articles must consist of a minimum of three (3) full paragraphs -- preferably 4 or more. Short announcements will not be considered for our news articles.
Copying articles or parts of articles from another source for use on Cybergrass is prohibited. Submitted articles must be original content by the author. If you acquire written permission for use of an article on Cybergrass, we may consider it.
Press Releases from recognized organizations are generally considered provided they pertain to the purpose of this web site.
Notices from well established bands are appreciated. Album releases, showcases, and other events of general interest are encouraged. Advertising type articles will generally not be considered for the home page news articles.
Can I Copy News to your Site?
If YOU originated the original article, then the answer is usually yes. If the information carries any kind of copyright by another web site, publication or other source, we will not carry it here without express written permission from the copyright holder. If you wish to put copyrighted material on Cybergrass, it is your responsibility to get us the authorization to do so. The authorization will be validated before posting.
May I Copy Your News to My Web Site?
No. All content (text, graphics, html, etc.) is copyright Cybergrass and may not be used without our permission. We have given permission in some cases but our purpose is for people to come visit us -- not another web site.
You may have links to our site and its news provided that the source, Cybergrass, is clearly identified with the link.

Images must be resident on our image server if they are to be included on Cybergrass. Images must be free of copyright as noted above.
How Do News Stories Get Syndicated?
Syndication works on various principles. One is that articles are indexed much like search engines. Keywords in the first paragraph are essential to getting your story captured and placed in the proper category. Since there are no meta tags with individual stories, the only thing the news distributors have to go on is the content itself.
If you're writing a story about a bluegrass festival, be sure and include "bluegrass music" somewhere near the beginning of the article. If the story is about folk music, banjos or whatever, be sure and include the exact word or phrase in the beginning of the article. This way services like Moreover.com will properly catalog your story for others to read.
Who Can Submit News?
Only registered users may submit news items. This is necessary if we need to verify or validate the story.
What Are Your Style Guidelines?
Cybergrass is pretty liberal in regards to submissions. There are only a few point we would like you to consider.
- Avoid the use of ALL CAPITAL letters except for abbreviations like IBMA, BMI, etc.
- Use the HTML paragraph tag instead of multiple line breaks.
- If you include a link or web address, please use the HTML anchor tag.
- Avoid all use of style sheet tags - they will be removed by the server.
- Avoid the use of quotes and apostrophes in the subject line. Due to the way the database works, these will keep your article from being posted.
- Don't repeat the subject as the first line of the story.
The submission page has two text blocks. Only the First Paragraph goes in the top box. The remainder of your story goes in the bottom box. The server will put the two together. The top box is what is displayed on our home page.
Have Fun!

Creating your Hyper-V Cluster | Hyper-V Clusters Part 32 Hyper-V Articles
In the first part of this series, we examined the purpose and benefits of a cluster. In part two, we walked through design considerations. At this point, you should have all your hardware available and your design document at hand. It's time to dive in and actually build your cluster.
Part 1 –� Hyper-V Failover Clusters Overview
Part 2 –� Installing a Hyper-V Cluster
Part 3 – Creating your Hyper-V Cluster – This article
Part 4 – Common Hyper-V Cluster Issues and Pitfalls
- Install Hyper-V R2 on each host. If you don't know how, follow our guide on installing Hyper-V R2 or go through our Hyper-V Installation Checklist. It is preferable to not add any iSCSI or FibreChannel targets to any of the hosts until they've joined the cluster, with the lone exception of the quorum LUN. It is permissible to connect to the targets first, but this can cause the generation of a lot of Virtual Disk Service (VDS) errors in some circumstances.
- Enable the Failover Cluster role on each host.
- Method 1 (Any Installation Type): At the command prompt, type "START /W OCSETUP" without the quotes and press [Enter].
- Method 2 (Server Core/Native Hyper-V R2 only): Choose option 11 in the SCONFIG.CMD menu (if this doesn't start automatically, just type "SCONFIG.CMD" at the command prompt and press [Enter]).
- Method 3 (Server Core/Native Hyper-V R2 only): At the command prompt, type "DISM /ONLINE /ENABLE-FEATURE /FEATURE-NAME:FailoverCluster-Core" without the quotes and press [Enter]. Note that the feature name itself is case sensitive but the rest is not.
- Method 4 (Server Core/Native Hyper-V R2 only): If you have Core Configurator installed, from the main screen first click "Computer Settings…" then "Add or Remove Roles…". Tick the box for "FailoverCluster-Core" and click Apply.
- Method 5 (GUI installation of Server only): Open Server Manager and click on the "Features" node. Click "Add Features" on the right. Choose "Failover Clustering". Optionally, expand "Remote Server Administration Tools" then "Feature Administration Tools" and click "Failover Clustering". Click Next and Install. Depending on the configuration of your Server Core or native Hyper-V R2 installation, you may be able to remotely connect to it with Server Manager and install Failover Clustering that way.
- On your shared storage device, create a small LUN (around 500MB is optimal). Connect a host to it and format it as NTFS. This will become the quorum LUN. Connect the other hosts to it.
- On a management computer running Windows 7 or a Server 2008 R2 machine, open the Failover Cluster Manager tool. If you haven't installed it, it's part of the Remote Server Administration Tools and shows up under Administrative Tools in your Start menu. Once open, click the "Failover Cluster Manager" top node and in the center pane click "Validate a configuration…" to start the wizard.
- The validation wizard is pretty straightforward. First, you need to pick the servers. Include every single host. You can choose them by name or IP. If the cluster already exists, adding one will automatically add all. After that, you pick which tests you want to run. If it's a new cluster and no hosts are running any virtual machines, it's safe to run all tests. Be warned that network connectivity is interrupted during some of these tests. You can select a subset to prevent interruption or to see if you've fixed a problem reported by a single run, but Microsoft will not support your cluster until you have a complete validation result set. At the end of the tests, you have the option to save the results. You'll probably want to run the validation test again after you've created the cluster, so saving it now is optional. Note that if you click any of the links prior to saving the results, the wizard saves an empty page.
- Correct any problems found in the validation wizard and repeat step five until you are satisfied with its results. It is common to have some warnings, such as multiple NICs in a subnet when you are using multiple cards for iSCSI and messages about unsigned drivers.
- The last page of the validation wizard allows you to create a cluster. You can also use the "Create a Cluster…" link on the front page of Failover Cluster Manager. If you allow the validation wizard to create the cluster, it will pre-populate all the nodes for you. Otherwise, you'll have to enter them manually.
- Like the validation wizard, the cluster creation wizard is very straightforward. If the validation wizard had no errors, you're all but guaranteed to be able to successfully create a cluster. The only page that will require much thinking is "Access Point for Administering the Cluster". You'll need to give it a meaningful name and you'll need to create it on the subnet that you've dedicated for management. This name and IP will become a DNS entry and will appear in DNS and Active Directory like a computer account. It will also respond like any computer.
- Once the wizard completes, your cluster is created.
Enhanced Cluster Network Control
At this point, the cluster is operational. However, there are a few more things you can do that will improve network performance and give you some control over the way cluster networking functions.
- In Failover Cluster Manager, expand your cluster, then the "Networks" node.
- In turn, right-click on each item and click Properties. Check the assigned subnet, then rename the object based on your design document.
- For any assigned networks that are intended for iSCSI, change the setting to "Do not allow cluster communication on this network" to maximize iSCSI performance.
- For all other types, set it to "Allow cluster communication on this network" but clear "Allow clients to connect through this network".
- You're free to leave everything at this point and it will work optimally. However, you can continue onward to force the cluster to use the networks for the purposes you have intended. You must have PowerShell installed on the cluster node that you use for these steps to work.
- Connect directly to the console of any node in the cluster, or the cluster name itself. Open a PowerShell prompt.
- Type:1Import-Module FailoverClusters
- Type:1Get-ClusterNetwork | ft Name,Metric,AutoMetric,Role
- The names in the displayed table will be those that you assigned in step 2. The numbers in the role column will correspond to the way you allowed the network to be used: 0 is disallowed from cluster communications, 1 is cluster traffic only, and 3 is both cluster and client traffic. The "Metric" column is what determines how the network will be used. Start with the networks that have a "1" role. The network with the lowest number will be used for CSV, the next for LiveMigration, and the highest as a backup line for any type of cluster communications. Your management network should have a "3" role and its metric will operate independently of the other three. The next three steps show how to force the "1" networks to conform with your labels.
- Using the name of your CSV network and a number below 1000 in place of these suggestions, type:1(Get-ClusterNetwork "CSV").Metric=500
- Using the name of your LiveMigration network and a number below 1000 but above that used in step 10 in place of these suggestions, type:1(Get-ClusterNetwork "LiveMigration").Metric=600
- You may override the cluster communications network in the same fashion, but because the AutoMetric will place it above 1000, that should be unnecessary.
- Press the arrow up key until you've retrieved the initial Get-ClusterNetwork command and press [Enter]. Verify that the networks are in the desired order.
Note that even with these settings, all you have done is set a preference. If a network should fail, the cluster service will attempt to route its traffic down one of the other lines.
Storage and Cluster Shared Volumes
Now that the cluster is prepared, you can connect it to storage. First, in Failover Cluster Manager, flip to the "Storage" node. The only item present at this time is the Quorum volume. Open its property page and look around. Rename it if you'd like. Ensure that all nodes are set as possible owners ("Advanced Policies"). Use the context menus to switch ownership from one node to another. As part of your testing, simulate failure and turn maintenance mode off and on.
Cluster Shared Volumes begin life as regular connected LUNs, so start there.
- On any one node, connect to the shared LUN(s) (typically this is done with "iscsicpl.exe", but your methods may vary depending on your storage device).
- From your management station, use Computer Management (compmgmt.msc) and connect to the node from step 1. (right-click "Computer Management (Local)" and click "Connect to another computer…"). Click on "Disk Management" under the Storage node, then right-click on it and choose "Rescan disks".
- The LUN(s) you connected to should now show up. If not, recheck your operations from step 1 and 2.
- Initialize and format the disk(s). Note that the easiest time to set a label for them is during the format process. Unlike typical local disks, you cannot use Disk Management to change a label. If you intend to use the LUN(s) as CSV(s), don't worry about assigning a drive letter as they will be lost.
- Connect to the LUN(s) on all other nodes as you did for the first node in step 1. You don't need to do anything with Computer Management. If you try, it might take an excessively long time for Disk Management to even connect.
- Go back to Failover Cluster Manager and access the Storage node. On the right, under Storage, click "Add a disk". Follow the prompt to add in the LUN(s) from the previous steps.
- At this point, you could start installing virtual machines, but you couldn't put more than one on a LUN and still expect LiveMigration to work as expected. Take the time to investigate the property pages. Rename the disks to something more meaningful, if you'd like. Ensure that all LUN(s) are properly set for the nodes that can own them.
- Click the root node for your cluster. In the center pane, click "Enable Cluster Shared Volumes…", read the warnings, and turn CSVs on.
- Click the "Cluster Shared Volumes" node. On the right, click "Add storage". This will present you with the volumes from the Storage node with the exception of the Quorum volume. Convert any and all of these disks to CSVs.
- Take some time to tinker with the CSVs. Note that about all you can change is the name. Verify that you can move the CSVs from node to node; if any fail, you have uncovered a problem in the way a node connects to the storage. Note that Failover Cluster Manager will indicate that it is taking the CSV offline during the move, but that if any virtual machines are active on that CSV they will not suffer a service interruption.
- If you'd like, you can change the name of the storage folders so that they no longer say "Volume1" etc. Connect to a node, preferably the one that currently owns the CSV in question. At a command prompt, type:12cd \ClusterStorageren Volume1 MyFirstCSV
- When creating virtual machines, you can set their storage to C:\ClusterStorage\MyFirstCSV and they will automatically be on the CSV. Note: Hyper-V Manager cannot create highly available virtual machines. Failover Cluster Manager can, and it can convert non-highly available virtual machines. Right-click on the "Services and applications" node and choose "Configure a Service or Application…" to convert an existing virtual machine or "Virtual Machines…"->"New Virtual Machine" to create a new one.
Final Validation
The last thing you should do is get a final validation report. If you ever need to call Microsoft Product Support Services to get help with your cluster, they will require a current validation report. Go to the cluster's named node in Failover Cluster Manager and click "Validate this cluster…". If you have active services on this cluster now, be aware that validation will briefly interrupt it. Save this validation report. Note that any change in the cluster configuration, such as adding a new CSV, will technically require an updated validation report.
That's it! You have successfully created a fully functioning Hyper-V cluster. The next thing you need to do is get backup installed and running. Note that you generally don't need to back up anything about the cluster itself because it doesn't take much longer to build one from scratch than it does to restore one from backup and it's much less error-prone. You definitely need to back up your virtual machines though.
Up next…
In the next and final segment of this series, we'll look at the most common issues facing your new cluster.

I have a Lorcin 25 can a lorcin be a good pockect pistol. Or can I depend on it or to just get off a full clip.

I owned a Lorcin once it was a pile of junk and had a serious problem feeding anything. My suggestion sell it and get something a bit more reliable. You can keep it as a plinker but don't bet your life on it.
December 6, 2008, 08:43 PM
You should join the Jennings/Bryco/Jimenez forum, you will get a lot of help there, I am a member and I will make sure you get your account activated as soon as possible.
December 6, 2008, 08:52 PM
I'm trying to ease off a little, in the auto-pistol forum there is a battle we have been fighting for weeks over whether or not you should use a .25 at all for personal defense. I regard it as the absolute worst single caliber choice there is.
If you DO plan on carrying it, and there's no way we're going to talk you out of it, get the best defensive load you can find, and shoot 200 rounds of it through that pistol. If it eats all of them, then it's considered minimally reliable. If it fails to feed, load, extract, or fire even once, start over again at zero. If you just can't make it work, no matter what, put it in the "Fun to shoot" pile and get something else. (It's not worth paying a gunsmith to fix it.) If you shoot that many rounds and STILL like shooting it, I suppose you're ready to go.
December 6, 2008, 11:02 PM
I think he's already been discouraged from the shooting world, great:mad:
December 6, 2008, 11:29 PM
If I took one more .25 off the street, it's worth it. :)
Seriously though, what did I say that was bad?

Bury it with full honors in a tidal marsh.
Then, and without inordinate delay attributable to a grieving widow, get a used Model 10.
February 12, 2009, 06:04 AM
You learned something, now save your money, research, and go buy the best gun you can afford.
Welcome to THR and dont be afraid to ask questions
February 12, 2009, 01:57 PM
Can you post a photo of the broken Lorcin? I'm curious what exactly happened.
I won't make fun of other people's firearms, but I will agree that .25ACP is a horrible caliber to use for self-defense.
February 12, 2009, 02:01 PM
Today my lorcin fell apart in my hands.
Did you happen to inadvertently push in the take-down button at the rear of the slide?
I'm also quite curious as to what fell apart on it and under what circumstances this occurred.
February 12, 2009, 02:23 PM
I will post a pic but I put back together but I put the fire pin in wrong now it want shoot. I might have pushed in take down I will try to take back apart and see if I can fix it
February 12, 2009, 04:19 PM
this is my lorcin 25
February 12, 2009, 05:25 PM
Ok, if you pushed the take-down, by mistake or otherwise, it didn't "fall apart in your hands" in the common use of the phrase.
Installing the firing pin incorrectly is also not the fault of the pistol.
Then, and without inordinate delay attributable to a grieving widow, get a used Model 10.
I have a Lorcin 25 can a lorcin be a good pockect pistol.
So, you DID read the original post, right? Used Model 10s are normally 3" or 4" K-frame revolvers. Used is also commanding close to $250 for "used until they can be identified primarily by the maker's markings".
Just how big ARE your pockets?
I think that, as a pocket pistol was requested, a Ruger LCP, or a Kel-Tec P3AT would be a better choice for him. Actually fits in the pocket, and is more powerful.
February 12, 2009, 05:59 PM
Only $199+ for a S&W M10
$100+ for Lorcin 25
February 12, 2009, 06:11 PM
Sorry to hear about that.

Center for Operational Excellence
At COE, we work alongside our members to foster a problem-solving culture that's grounded in tried-and-true operational excellence tools, and that's constant and far-reaching. We're here to help you drive changes in behavior—so that operational excellence becomes a goal in every process, start to finish. Learn more ...
Next Up: I.T. Leadership Network Forum - Oct. 7
Keynote - Brad Power, founder CXcelerator; blogger, Harvard Business Review
Companies today can't just be world-class at only operational excellence, customer intimacy or product leadership. Competing today means excelling in all three as software startups and innovation icons cause unprecedented disruption. So how do they do it? Keynote Brad Power (pictured, left) in this session will identify the major roadblocks legacy organizations face in shifting from continuous improvement to continuous process innovation and how to move past them.
Op-Ex in Action: Fisher collaboration leverages problem-solving tools in K-12 ed
An unconventional effort to reform Ohio's K-12 education system is sending a new pack of leaders out with more than an MBA from Fisher College of Business and a certification to serve as a principal. They can wield some foundational operational excellence tools, as well. At a presentation prior to graduation, a number of BRIGHT fellows showed the results of their work tackling the A3 problem-solving methodology, one of a few tools Center for Operational Excellence Executive Director and BRIGHT educator Peg Pennington introduced to the curriculum.
New & Improved: Members-Only Content
The rollout of Fisher College of Business' new website also includes new changes to COE's website designed to maximize the user experience. Among them is a reorganization of the center's members-only content area. On the new COE website, each employee of a member company can create a user account and password that, once approved, opens access to the members-only content. In addition to logging in to live-stream events and accessing slides from COE's Leading Through Excellence summit, members can view our Digital Content Archive, which includes nearly a decade of live event webcasts and webinars. In the new Digital Content Archive, all content can be viewed by event date or event topic, while the "Staff Picks" section highlights the best presentations we have to offer.

Garlic Bread
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 15 mins
I made this garlic bread yesterday with a 3-day old baguette bread. It's so easy to do at the last minute and tastes great. Each slice are soft and full of flavors.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 150 g butter, softened
- 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- pepper (optional)
- 2 French baguettes
- In a bowl, mix butter, garlic, parsley and add pepper if you want.
- Cut the baguette in slices, put garlic butter on one side of each slice and put them back all together like it was not cut in foil paper.
- Put on the bbq 10 to 15 minutes (we did it at indirect heat), until butter is melted and the bread is very warm.
- You can also cook the garlic bread in the preheated oven at 375 F for 15 minutes.
Most Helpful
This was so good and looked so good with the fresh parsley. I don't think that there is one piece left after the Dh and kids got to it. YUM.
I used a loaf of italian bread, halved. It was very garlicky, but delicious!! I wrapped in foil, but opened the foil and but it under the broiler the last 5 minutes. Fabulous with lasagne tonight!
I believe that butter is good for you so i served this with a fresh vegetable salad. This is a keeper for any feast. Thanks for sharing, made during Ramadan Tag Game 2010

my daughter seems really interested when we are eating and i did give her a lil taste of bannana when i was having one. she did very well pushed it out her mouth a lil then back. she sits up good in her high chair and she has doubled her birth waight. im thinking i might start feeding her. just wondering if anyone else has started?
has anyone started feeding baby solids?
-Libby, wife to an awsome hubby; mommy to a wonderful toddler Victor, and baby girl Yazmene!!
There are a lot of posts on here about this. Everyone has different opinions on when to start. I feel you should start when Pedi gives the OK and your baby is ready.
Wiatt started at 4mo. He first ate fresh banana. Since then he has had fresh sweet potato, squash and peaches. I usually mix his fruit with cereal and feed to him in the early afternoon. Couple times a week he gets the veggie around dinner time.
Married to Chris 8/17/08
Wiatt 6/10/09 @ 2:05am, 9lb 5oz, EDD 6/1/09
Bun in the Oven ~ EDD 1/15/14 ~ Team Pink
Not much, just a bit of intant oatmeal here and there, but we'll really start getting into it in the coming weeks. Spoon feeding babies, is right up there with getting my cavities filled or cleaning toilets... not my favorite thing.
Ped advised us to start at 5 1/2 months but I'm a FTM and have been really looking forward to it so I may break down and start a week early. I'm sure after a month or so I'll be like junemother and wishing I could go back to the simplicity of bottle feeding, but I can't wait to see the crazy faces he'll make at the different tastes!
Well I had my son a month early and i started feeding him at 4 months. He was ready, he is doing really good he get his fruits mixed with his cereal and a veggie, and he gets mad if i start with the cereal first. He preferes his veggies first. I am thinking about starting him on 2nd's he is now swallowing his food and not moving it with his tounge. he is almost sitting up now. he has trippled his birth weight and is 15lbs now. he started at 5lbs 11 ozs.
We started a few weeks ago. She had rice cereal for a couple of days until I remembered that my other 2 hated it too. We switched to squash and she's done much better. We feed a small amount once a day with a new veggie weekly. She's doing great with it so far.
SAH mom of 3 busy kiddos. 12 years, 4 years, & 1 year.
Only after her Ped reccomended it I started cereal 2 wks ago just once a day and yesterday I started bananas. She loved them. Did WAY better with the nana's then she did with the cereal. Don't blame her though... that rice cereal is awful.
My LO is 4 months old now and has just about doubled his birthweight - he's been watching us eat for a while now and so I started giving him a small taste of babyfood -- he loves it though some flavours seem more to his liking than others.
I don't give him more than a couple of teaspoons yet though, think he's still too young. I just want him to get the idea that there's food out there and to eat from a spoon.
I have given Jake baby cereal a few times now and he loves it! He was so ready for it. It is still pretty runny in texture when we do give it too him though since I don't want to mess up his little tummy or something.
Chloe' has been taking rice cereal since she was 3 months old... Ive been giving her baby foods for the last couple months....She loves applesauce and sweet potatoes
5-30-09....Chloe' Alexandrea- The dae my whole life changed...
We started a few days after the Ped gave us the ok at our 4 mth visit. We skipped cereal and went straight to bananas (ds loved it) and we've also tried avocado and butternut squash.
This morning DH I were eating breakfast aned every time DH lifted the fork of his plate DS opened his mouth and leaned forward trying to get a bite. It was too funny.

The Morning Read: Gervais infuriates Hollywood and Robert Downey Jr. barks back
Welcome to The Morning Read.
I am a different man than I was when I last spoke to you guys before the weekend. My boys are home after a long trip away, and it's been a wonderful weekend of catching up with them and with my wife. I didn't realize quite what an introverted jerk I've been for the past few months until I felt it all drop away while watching my boys run towards me at LAX. I've got a few days with them before I leave for Sundance, and when I get back, I plan to take a few days off just to enjoy them being home.
I may also be planning the first-ever Film Nerd 2.0 set visit, and if it comes together, I promise it will be one of the most special things I've ever done for the site. Fingers crossed.
Let's take care of a little housekeeping first up today and congratulate Ty Osterman, Thomas de Groot, and Kerry Early, our three winners in the awesome "True Grit" poster contest. The correct answer to the question of how many actors have played Rooster Cogburn is three. Most people know Jeff Bridges and John Wayne played him, but the legendary Warren Oates also played the role in a TV take on the material. Congrats to all of those who won, and thanks to all of those who played.
I hate awards shows. Hate hate hate them. I hate the culture of awards. I hate awards season. I hate turning art into a contest. It all just makes my skin crawl for months on end, this self-congratulatory nonsense that seems to just go on and on and on, swallowing up any conversation about what films are genuinely good in favor of a disgusting display where how much you spend and how well you "campaign" is what wins you something. As a result, perhaps I took a special degree of delight in seeing that Ricky Gervais showed up at the most disgusting of all the disgusting awards shows, The Golden Globes, armed with a flamethrower when everyone was just expecting him to carry a glowstick. I didn't watch the show, but I've gone back to see a few highlights, and I'm not remotely surprised that an organization as corrupt and humorless as the HFPA is scandalized by his opening monologue from last night:
It makes me laugh even harder when I see the overreaction today, like Lisa de Moraes claiming last night was the death of Ricky's career. Hardly. And people who are theorizing that Ricky was fired during the show can relax… that was just the pacing of the show.
One of the people who was most vocal about being offended last night was Robert Downey Jr. I would think that anyone who just signed to play Mr. Peabody, the genius time-traveling dog, would have a good sense of humor about themselves. Maybe he felt like Gervais took some cheap shots at him, but honestly… Robert Downey Jr. is on top of the world these days, untouchable as a movie star, and a few quick jokes about his former problems shouldn't be enough to upset him. Laugh it off, man, hop in the WABAC machine, and realize that your history will always be part of your narrative, even if you've succeeded in putting it behind you.
Julia Marchese is the adorable and supercool backbone of the New Beverly Cinema here in Los Angeles, where Edgar Wright's The Wright Stuff film festival is currently in full swing. Recently, she decided that she really wanted to get punched in the face, and… well… check this out.
McDonald's + Japan = total bugshit caloric lunacy. Is anyone surprised?
I kinda love this website. I am not a member of the KISS Army, but I've been known to show up for shows from time to time, and this celebration of their lunkheaded awesomeosity.
What I like about Devin Faraci's new home at Badass Digest is that it's given him license to write about what really interests him on any given day as opposed to just chasing Google bait headlines like many sites. Only on Badass Digest would you read stories his recent discovery of A1 Media Distribution or Tim League's story about the history of home distilling. I hope they keep it up, and that they follow their whims, because that's the thing that makes the site so much fun so far.
Badass was one of about five sites where I saw people run the story that originated on FEELGuide, a site I'm totally unfamiliar with, about a Buddhist temple where I would eventually like to take some sort of very strong hallucinogen. Although, looking at the decor of the place, that's probably redundant. Wow.
Have you ever seen Chick tracts? They're these bizarre uber-"Christian" comics and I put Christian in quotation marks because these things are hate-filled and sleazy. And now, because absolutely no one asked for it, there is an animated version of "The Sissy," a particularly grotesque Chick tract. I'm embedding it here the same way you would cage a dangerous animal. This way, we'll always know where this thing is in case we want to kill it:
You should read to the very end of this. High-larious.
I like the idea of 3D without glasses, but not if it's going to make me look like the guy in the video embedded in this article over at Cinematical. Sheeesh.
Have you seen Doug TenNapel's new webcomic RATFIST yet? Word's starting to spread about it, and it's still early enough for you to jump on and catch up. I'm a longtime fan of TenNapel's work, and the notion of him pushing himself to produce a daily comic online is exciting.
If you know who Savage Steve Holland is, then you'll absolutely love this interview with him. And while you're over there reading the article, you could do worse things for yourself than ordering a copy of "The PSYCHO Legacy" on DVD. Trust me on that.
Do you know where you'll be on March 14th? Because I do. And I'd like to send a special shout-out to my buddy Harry, who is floored up right now recovering from what promises to be the single most significant medical procedure of his entire life. I sincerely hope to see him walk out onto that stage under his own power, and when he does, I'll lead the standing ovation.
Speaking of the long weird history of Ain't It Cool, one of our most ardent talkbackers over there was AB King, who is actually twin brothers who are obsessed with all things Arnold and Sly. He spent years sending prayers out into the ether asking Arnold to make "With Wings As Eagles," a WWII-themed script about a soldier near the end of the war refusing to kill Jewish kids. Now Arnold is hinting that he may well play that role finally, which is weird, since Ivan Reitman basically said a few days ago that he couldn't imagine Arnold returning to full-time acting. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I'd certainly like to see Arnold try it again, especially since he couldn't just step back into the same types of films he used to make. He's going to have to stretch if he expects to be relevant again, and that could be interesting.
I am fascinated by the history of LSD experimentation in this country, and this video, which I spotted over at The Vulture this morning, is a wild glimpse at the early days of research into the drug's effects:
I get tired of the way lists are used instead of content sometimes, and whenever I contribute to one I try to be sure I provide something worth reading. Like, for example, this excellent piece about characters who decide to abandon prepared remarks in favor of speaking from the heart. Every one of these is a winner.
You know, Evan Goldberg speaks a lot of truth. Maybe they should get him to host the Golden Globes next year.
I love that 2010 was the year of Pee-Wee Herman's comeback, and that it seems to still be ramping up. I can't wait for him to actually make a feature film again, and in the meantime, this will do just fine to hold me over:
You know why I love Trailers From Hell? What other website out there is having a James Coburn week? Oh, that's right… NONE.
I love Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book, a spooky twist on the classic Kipling tales, and I think Neil Jordan is an amazing fit for the material. I don't really care who produces it as long as someone does, so if it's Framestore, great. Let's get moving, guys.
My friend Gerry Duggan turned me on to this photographer on Twitter, and it's one of those links that gets deeper and deeper the more you look into the story of Vivian Maier.
Have you been to DouglasTrumball.com yet? And you call yourself a nerd. Thanks to The Raging Celt for pointing this one out.
I hope to god Elijah Wood kept the Stuyvesant t-shirt they made for him. That's all I'm saying. I'll have a piece about this one from Sundance after it premieres this Thursday night as part of the kick-off to this year's festival. And on that note, I'm going to wrap this up as I'm about to start churning out Sundance pre-reviews for you, hopefully pointing you towards some of the good stuff that will be playing Park City in the next fifteen days or so.
The Morning Read appears here every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Except when it doesn't.

I just got cancer reading your posts, literally have like 1 month left to live
twx has the experts on advertisment as a science and art. You can close your eyes but you cant close your ears. Only a matter of time before the public gets more of the weekly flyer read to them while sleeping. dream sale on now, buy now. twx to profit
Wat... sorry to hear about your health problem. The point i make about hypnotic suggestion/advertisement to the sleeping person is no joke. As you know twx and other media manufacturers are making big dollars selling advertising, and this it because advertising has been shown to work on the awake public with all thier logic intact. Now its not hard to imagine the success of advertisment, commercial or political done to the sleeping public with their logic suspended. I believe this is already happening on individuals the government or big business want to influence, but its going to become a major profit area for the likes of twx. The low cost of radio electronics and sonic equipment make this possible in this age of newspeak. If it makes you feel any better the spin doctors can call it therapy.
