How many millions in a billion?
asks Julia and Miriam, WA
Answer from Geoff Hutchison:
This comes up a lot. I guess we expect mathematics to be a universal language, that numbers are the same everywhere, like comparing oranges to oranges. In the United States, one billion oranges is one thousand million oranges. In Australia, one billion oranges is one million million oranges. We have twelve zeros and the Americans have nine, which is important of course, particularly if you are planning to import an enormous amount of California Navels. So there is a differentiation, it is strange.
Im pleased to say that the scientific community has acknowledged that its pretty strange and its accepting the American billion, of 1 thousand million, as a standard practice and we are seeing this more standardised around the world. Its still quite extraordinary to have a numerical value in one place different to somewhere else but its changing.

That would f@$&!n freak me out!
That isn't something that you you can let go for long, once the clear starts peeling.... It's a disease, as you know your clear is your only protection from screwing up your paint further,
Peeling usually happens to darker color cars as a result of heat build up over time and eventually breaks down the elements of the undercoat which works its way up. Yours looks suspect.. Like dealer special( quick paint to sell it job). Hope it's under warranty, that has to go down to the primer to fix it if done right. Looks like it would be cheaper to paint the whole thing, BTW nobody would frown on new paint unless it wasn't done right! Good luck
Throw it in reverse and drive equally fast. The clear coat should redeposit on the car.
Sorry, I could not resist.
My 2013 CTS Coupe was repainted due to acid rain spots on the hood and top. Dealer did a beautiful job. I believe it looks better than factory.

Mumbai: Kalki is a famed actress and she has said in a recent interview that she will not act and write in a same movie from now onwards. Kalki has worn the cap of a writer and actress in a film titled 'That Girl in Yellow Boots'. She now vows not to wear both hates from now onwards for one film.
Talking to media, she says, she has now decided to not ever write and act in the same flick because she really gets much confused when she dolls up both the jobs. She adds she thinks it is not professionally good for her. Kalki reveals that she will be doing one job with one project.
About writing, she says it is more of pleasures and hobby and acting is something she loves and she is desperately hungry for all the time. Kalki was at the launch of a TV range recently where she talked to the media. She is the brand ambassador of this TV range product. She then adds that writing is what she will never ever dismiss in her life, it will be on her cards forever.
When asked if she has plans to dash off a script for a movie, she reveals, there is no plan at all right now. Kalki has also shaken the legs in movies like Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and My Friend Pinto. But the actress says that she finds herself nervous doing dancing and she might shake a leg in Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. In Ayan Mukherji's Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani, she enacts along with the likes of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
In this flick, she chips in, there is heavy dose of dancing which she has to do but she is much nervous as to how she will be doing this. The film is slated for March 2013 release.

Besides the trick with the toilet, Levi actually plans out strategies to get something he wants. We have an old papazan chair that I like to sit in when I study. Unfortuantely Levi thinks its his and if I'm in it, he wants it (thats Blue Heeler rule #3 if you are wondering). Anyway, he will climb up in the chair and lay all over my lap (all 70lbs of him) and push my books out of the way. Eventually one of us will be uncomfortable - usually me - and get up.
The other day, levi figured out how to accomplish his goal with minimal effort. He tricked me! We wanted to get up in the chair and I told him NO! and that I was not moving htis time. He groaned and laid back down next to me on the floor. Then he got up and whined. I was busy studying so I just ignored it thinking he was wanting to get up in "his" chair. Then he went into the bathroom and started clicking his nails on the tile floor and came back into my room. I ignored him some more (don't worry, its a game we play). Anyway, he went back into the bathroom and started lifting and dropping the toilet bowl lid - a sign that he has to go out and go potty. He came back in and I asked him if he had to go out and go potty. He ran over to the stairs and I got up out of the chair to let him out. In a split second, he ran around me and jumped up into his chair and pushed my books out onto the floor. I asked him if he had to go out and pee...he just groaned - and smled - and within minutes he was sound asleep and snoring. The little booger tricked me into getting out of my chair so he could take a nap in it!!
I figured out a good way to tell mom and dad that I need to go out to the bathroom. Instead of staring at the door like dexter does, I walk into the bathroom and ckick my nails on the floor. If nobody gets the message from that, I lift the seat up (mommy has daddy trained to put the seat and the lid down) and let it drop until someone hears me. And at three o'clock in the morning its really fun to see what happens!
Of course, you may wonder how I learned that neat little trick but I figured that that big white seat had something to do with going potty since mommy and daddy use it for that.
Daddy says that he is going to train me how to sit on the big white seat and use it to go to the bathroom. Yuck! I like the grass better for that.
Heh heh heh. I went to the vet recently and weighed 1 pound more than Dexter (71 lbs - Dex weighs 70)!! Funny thing though is that I'm still about 2/3 his size. Dex has slimmed down and toned up too since daddy makes him exercise now. The couch potato has been put on exercise duty and now daddy says I'm getting a little pot belly. I'm gonna have to get him back and do something to his favorite slippers.

Advices with my link turns
Sorry for the low quality, please give me some advice on my link turns, I feel my heel to toe transition is not very smooth, any tips?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Happy shredding
Part of it could be it looks like you have a slight lean uphill, keep your body centered over the board (it may feel like you are leaning downhill, but you will be centered over the board and have increased response and control while turning.) Other than that if you feel you are having trouble more one way than the other, make sure you have equal overhang of your toe and heel over the board, this can give a feeling of tough transition from one edge to the other. Otherwise, it may just come from increased practice.
Edit: Not sure what your stance is set at , but it looks like your shoulders are facing downhill a bit, keep them parallel with the board, if you ride a forward stance, than the shoulder turn may be acceptable.
Looking pretty good. I would say you are about to cross a level line in your riding. Your heel to toe turn isn't bad just quick if you watch your toe to heel turn is longer. But at least you have good edge angle ( height of edge off snow). Two things that can help will be size of turn and dynamic carving (pushing your legs out of the turn and pulling them into a turn). These things will make you carve harder and ride faster. When trying this out you should use long and wide trail crossing turns medium to fast speed and drop lower in your stance at the knees. If you need me to explain anything further just ask.
watch some of these:
Intermediate Snowboard lesson: Linked Turns - YouTube
Dynamic Skidded Turns - YouTube
Thank you all very much for the advice and encouragement, I am so happy that I find this place (awesome!!!) I used to ride 15', 5', I changed to 15', -5'(duck stance) recently. I totally agree with what Snowwolf and Efilnikufesin pointed out. I'll keep working on my stance and trying to be more dynamic.
if you are sitting in a chair you would push your feet away from you (extend them) and pull them back in or under you (flex them). Same on your board when you turn to your heels you push the board out in front of you then pull it back under you as you initiate your toe turn them push the board out behind you and pull it back under and back out in front. It creates that dynamic rhythm your looking for and removes some pressure off the board as you change edges.Sorry for confusion still getting used to typing advise.

|"The Z & Z Cat Room!"
Did you say spiders!!!!! oh my, you sure have a lot of cat trees to look for a small spider
Princess Tu Two I am great at finding the littlest spiders.
Wow Zoey you have an awesome cat room!
Thanks Dusty! This use to be my pawrents dining room. MOL!! Now they are into buying more cat stuff than people stuff.
I love your kitty playground. At one time, I thought I had a lot of cat toys/furniture, but I think you and your brother have me beat.
The tall towers would be my favorites, I think. I don't see the hobbit tree in this pic, though. Is it in the other room?
Yes, Fearless, we love to climb too! The purrniture and hobbit tree are upstairs on the 3rd floor. We run from floor to floor and climb on everything. MOL!
WOW - what a cool room!
OMC - that's the quite the playground! You must have lots of fun in there!

Aug 7, 2013 - By Eric Blom, Staff WriterThe Lander man who burned a vacant house on Goodrich Drive in December faces two to five years in prison and seven years of supervised probation after sentencing July 3.
If Chance Clark, formerly known as Chance Moore, violates his probation terms, Wyoming 9th Judicial District Judge Norman E. Young said the subject will be sentenced to six to 12 more years in prison.
Clark pleaded guilty in April to one count each of first-degree arson and probation violation. He reportedly started a fire Dec. 4 in a home owned by Scott and Mary Palmer.
Two other charges were dropped as the result of a plea agreement.
Victims speak
According to reports, the Palmers had moved to Laramie, and their vacant Lander home was under contract for a sale at the time of the blaze, which caused $140,000 in smoke and fire damage.
"What he's done to us is going to affect us a whole hell of a lot longer," Scott Palmer said at the hearing. "He did this, but we're the ones paying for it because some stupid kid couldn't think of something better to do than burn down our house."
Scott Palmer said he couldn't sell the house Clark burned. According to his testimony, the fire left the Palmers bankrupt and threatened their ability to afford their current home. Scott Palmer said Clark also made explicitly violent threats against the Palmers's immediate and extended family.
Clark sees the prison sentence as a vacation, Palmer said.
"He thinks he's going to Disneyland," Palmer said. "He's just tickled to death."
Mary Palmer only said she agreed with her husband and asked the judge to keep Clark far away from her family. She then choked up and returned to her seat.
After hearing from all involved, Young added a probation condition not included in the plea agreement to prohibit Clark from having any contact with the Palmer family or their extended family.
Letters hand-written in black ink on the back, right shoulder of Clark's orange prison shirt spelled out the expletive "F** U!!" though the word was written without a "c." Writing in other locations on the shirt was indecipherable.
The message was clearly visible to everyone seated in the gallery. Scott Palmer thought the expletive was directed at the Palmer family, who was seated directly behind the defendant.
Palmer called the phrase "disrespectful" while speaking at the hearing.
Two-part sentence
The two- to five-year prison term as part of Clark's sentence is a penalty for violating probation. Clark was on probation Dec. 4 and violated the terms of his probation by committing arson.
The original probation was related to a Nov. 29 shoplifting incident at the Lander Maverik Country Store that involved more than $1,000 in stolen cigarettes.
Moore also was on probation for a 2011 aggravated assault and battery charge and for interfering with police. Officials said he wielded a knife at an undercover officer while in the company of a girl who had been reported missing.
Clark will receive 212 days credit for time served since his arrest.
The actual arson charge led to the six- to 12-year jail sentence, which was suspended in favor of seven years probation.
"I'd like to apologize for everything I've done," Clark said. "I know I've caused a lot of pain and a lot of trouble."
Clark also will have to pay $1,700 in restitution to the Palmers for out-of-pocket costs related to the fire and $140,000 to their insurance company.
Palmer connection
At a previous hearing, Lander detective Fred Cox said Clark had dated the Palmers's teenage daughter. Clark reportedly was frustrated when the girl didn't return to Lander.
"I went up to my ex's house because I was mad and I was planning on burning the house down," Clark said at a change of plea hearing April 11.
He was arrested on a warrant for violating probation after a lengthy standoff with law enforcement at a residence in the 900 block of Washakie Street in Lander.
Lander police chief Jim Carey said Clark, then identified as Moore, exited the residence carrying a hatchet. Police confronted him at gunpoint, and Carey said Clark immediately dropped the weapon and complied with commands.

Who are SURFING's photographers? Who are these artistic gypsies billing us for their bar tabs and plane tickets? It is time we get to know.
Name: Thomas Carey
Age: 30
Hometown: Seal Beach, CA residing in Newport Beach, CA
Years shooting: 11
Equipment: Canon Mark IV, 7d, G10, CMT water housings
Motto: "Life's a garden; dig it." —Joe Dirt
Where are you right now? I'm in Newport slaving away at the Volcom HQ. I just got back from a girls trip in Puerto Rico with Volcom and I'm on my way to Hawaii tomorrow.
Where have you been over the last six months? Hell, I can't even remember. I know I've been to Mexico a dozen times, P.R., France, Spain, Costa Rica and Barbados.
What do you ride? I ride a 6'2" JS, an Ozzie Wright Santa Cruz fish and a 5'10" J7 quad.
How often do you surf? It depends. In Mexico at the rights I surf as much as I'm allowed. At home I pick and choose my sessions. In Indo this year the crew loved to sleep so I surfed a lot every morning. If it's uncrowded I'm out there, but I hate wetsuits. My golf game has been hurting my surfing.
Favorite wave to surf: The puntas in Mexico, for sure.
Favorite wave to shoot: Secret left in Mex.
Favorite surfers to shoot: Ozzie Wright, Mitch Coleborn, Dusty Payne, Andrew Doheny, Ford Archbold, Parker Coffin, Alex Gray, Dillon Perillo. So many guys rip these days, it's tough to say. But those are some of my usual suspects. Wade Goodall is definitely one of my favorites too. So punk rock.
Favorite city: I just went back to France this year after a 10-year hiatus. I must say, Hossegor is pretty damn fun. Even after the circus leaves.
Won't return to: Downtown Puerto Vallarta. Fuck the police.
Perks of being a SURFING photographer: The babes. Nah, just kidding, I'm engaged. But the crazy lifestyle is definitely fun, it's just tough to adjust sometimes when you get home and your friends tend to think you're an idiot.
Other jobs held in the past: I was a bartender/cook/busboy at a sports bar for a few years. I bagged groceries at Vons when I was a grom. I even bagged Cameron Diaz's junk. She was beat looking. I delivered computer-shaped surfboards when I first got serious about shooting and made a lot of connections in the industry that way. I manicured baseball fields when I was in high school. That was the best job ever: no bosses, no hassles, good money.
Most scared you've been in the ocean: The other day in France near the bunkers, I seriously almost drowned. It was like I was in some crazy rapids. I couldn't catch my breath and I almost barfed. I was so hung over though. That could have had something to do with it.
How you deal with poachers: I used to get mad about that stuff, but everyone is cool these days and I talk it over with them or their superiors. I used to freak out, but most of my trips are exclusive and off the beaten path a bit. I don't follow the tour, that's for sure.
The next Kelly Slater is: Steph Gilmore
The next Steph Gilmore is: Carrissa Moore
Five people you'd want to have with you on a desert island: Rodney Dangerfield, Sophia Bush, David Lee Roth, Mother Teresa, and Anheuser Busch
Person (alive or dead) you'd most want to have a beer with: Kenny Powers
If you weren't a surf photographer, you'd be: That's a sad thought. Maybe Mr. Mom?

About Me
Hi. I'm David. I'm a security geek. Mostly. Well, that's my job, anyway. In real life, I like to program, goof around with network stuff, hunt for geocaches, watch movies, and other typical geek-like activities. Though I also have three kids, so really what I like most is making them laugh. Which is good, 'cause that's about all I have time for. :)
I started this blog because I do periodically have geeky ideas and ramblings that I'd like to share with others, and because my main personal site is so out-of-date that I have trouble even admitting it exists. (see aforementioned lack of time).
I hope you find the things I have to say useful, or at least, entertaining. Feel free to throw virtual Shmooballs at me on Twitter (@DarthNull), but be warned, I have access to a pretty strong rebuttal mechanism! If you'd like to talk in more than single-sentence fragments, my email is david (at) dasnet (dot) org. You can find my PGP key on Keybase, and at the MIT PGP Keyserver.
About the Site
i've been playing with websites and blogs and such for quite a while now. First it was static files built from XML sources. Then I self hosted a couple sites using Drupal for a while. I eventually got tired of how complicated that was, and moved to self-hosted Wordpress, then in 2010 I moved to a Wordpress.com hosted site. Now I'm kind of going back to the beginning, with a static site built from simple files (this time around, it's built using Markdown instad of XML).
The engine is Second Crack, originally built by Marco Arment. I've made a few tweaks, and will probably continue to do so, and hopefully I'll push the changes out to github so anyone can use them. But I make no promises. :)
The site doesn't have comments (I never got many anyway). RSS feeds are available — most any time you can fetch a page using .html, just add .xml instead (for example, http://darthnull.org/rss.xml for a feed of the main site, or http://darthnull.org/tag/puzzles.xml for a feed of posts tagged "puzzles.")
You can also follow this blog on Twitter. New posts will be tweeted out by @NullBits.
About the Content
In addition to my (frequently overdue) efforts to document various crypto puzzles and contests, I try to write about things that I've found interesting, neat tricks I've discovered or built, bugs I've found, and occasionally some crazy ideas. I've added a few details to the Second Crack system: in particular, support for cross-posts (local copies of posts I wrote for my employer's site), references (so I can have a good place for talk slides, white papers, etc.), and lists (basically, special categories which serve to collect specific items together, like a list of all presentations, for example).
You can find tags/categories, lists, and post types all collected on the Topics page.

Alfredo Muro has been described as a Latin virtuoso, but his musical styles and tastes are far more versatile, ranging from standard classical repertoire to jazz. His forte is South American music in its many guises: folk, jazz, Brazilian, classical. Whatever the style, it's the emotional content of his music that carries the day.

Last summer, we learned about fake poop made from soybeans that The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation used to test high-tech commodes at their toilet fair.
Now, we've come across another type of artificial poop, and it's being created to help people with really bad cases of diarrhea.
This synthetic stool isn't made of soybeans, but instead, it's a mixture containing 33 different types of bacteria. And, oh yeah, doctors create the stuff in something called the "Robogut" — a mechanical device that mimics the conditions in your colon.
Doctors in Ontario, Canada, developed the synthetic stool — which they call RePOOPulate — to treat people sick with infections from Clostridium difficile, a bacterium that can cause serious, persistent bouts of diarrhea. The germ can take hold after people are treated with antibiotics for other infections.

2012 Named One of the Worst Years For Game Releases
Metacritic released its year-end summary and found that of the many games released in 2012, only fourteen console games earned an average review score of 90 or over, which is what they consider to be a a "great" game. 2011, by comparison, saw twenty-three console games hit the mark. When adding in PC and handheld games 2012 had eighteen to 2011's thirty-two.
The site notes that it is the lowest amount of games in a year to hit 90 or above since it started compiling year-end reports in 2009. Of all games, The Walking Dead had the highest aggregate score for 2012. Hit hit a 95 average, which makes it the lowest-scoring Game of the Year for the site since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in 2003.
Among the other games topping a 90 average were Persona 4 Golden, Mass Effect 3, Journey, Xenoblade Chronicles, Dishonored, Mark of the Ninja, Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3 and Trials Evolution.

Turkey Mole Chili
Unsweetened cocoa powder, ancho chile powder and cumin give this thick, rich chili deep flavor.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 tablespoons pure ancho or New Mexico chile powder
- 1 1/2 tablespoons ground cumin
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or turkey stock
- Two 15-ounce cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup finely ground tortilla chips
- 1 1/4 pounds roast turkey, diced (4 cups)
- Salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- Rice, warm tortillas, cilantro, chopped onion and sour cream, for serving
How to make this recipe
In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and garlic and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chile powder, cumin and bay leaves and cook for 1 minute. In a small bowl, dissolve the cocoa powder and sugar in 1/4 cup of the broth and add it to the casserole, along with the remaining broth. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 30 minutes over low heat.
Stir the beans and ground tortilla chips into the sauce and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Add the turkey, season with salt and pepper and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Serve the chili with rice, tortillas, cilantro, onion and sour cream.
Make Ahead
The chili can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Suggested Pairing
Ripe, black berry-inflected Malbec.

What are the unions for? I ask on the eve of the annual Trade Union Congress in Liverpool, because their role is increasingly in doubt and under pressure.
It's not a novel query. In 1968 I listened with incredulity as the veteran TUC general secretary George Woodcock mumbled to a press conference: "What are we here for?"
To a rookie industrial correspondent on the Manchester Evening News, this was a shocking admission of identity failure.
Wannabe-intellectual Woodcock was playing with words (I think) but the issue is startlingly relevant today, with union membership slipping below six million – half its size in the heydays of the 1970s.
At this time of the year, it's fashionable to write the obituary of the labour movement. Not here, mate. I come to praise the unions, not to bury them.
Do you believe in trade unionism?
They are the last bulwark against total victory of so-called neo-liberal capitalism over working people.
If we didn't have unions (and to a lesser extent, their political expression, the Labour Party), everybody would be on zero-hours contracts, with no job security, no holidays and no pensions.
Sweet FA in the workplace.
Everything that we have now we owe to the generations of trade unionists who fought and sacrificed, in the words of TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady, "to make a better life for all".
The Tories hate trade unions. Always have, always will, because they're the bosses' party.
They also fear us, because our unions are the only genuinely working-class institution they can't destroy.
My god, they do their best. Political strikes are outlawed. Action in support of other workers is banned.
A general strike would be illegal. Union funds can be – and are – sequestrated (stolen) by the courts.
Compulsory secret ballots before strikes are beset with so many rules that a well-paid QC can easily persuade a judge to ban any walkout on a technicality.
And David Cameron promises to tighten the law to make legal stoppages virtually impossible.
With membership in manufacturing at an historic low of about 10%, the Tories have still-strong public service unions in their sights. They plan to end "check-off" – deduction of subs from pay packets.
Their aim is to drive down membership in the NHS, teaching, local government, social care, the fire brigade and all other public services, so they can say: "You don't represent the workforce. We de-recognise you. We don't negotiate with you or talk to you."
If they get their way, Mr and Ms British Worker will have nobody to defend them, never mind seek to improve their lives.
That's what the unions are for. They may not be perfect, they might throw up the wrong leader occasionally. But they're ours and have been for the best part of two centuries.
The official theme of the Liverpool Congress is "Britain needs a pay rise". All right in its way, but too cautious.
In the run-up to the most critical general election of my lifetime, our slogan should be: "Hands off our unions, Tory swine!"

A deadly California train collision has again shined a spotlight on the dangers of inappropriate use of handheld texting devices.
While the National Transportation Safety Board continues to investigate what caused a September accident in which a Los Angeles Metrolink commuter train plowed head-on into a Union Pacific freight locomotive, preliminary reports indicate the Metrolink engineer may have been distracted by sending a text message in the seconds preceding the crash. The commuter train blew through a red "stop" signal just before smashing into the freight locomotive.
The collision killed 25 passengers and injured 135.
Three times the peril
The accident is a powerful reminder that employers must restrict texting (and talking on cell phones) while employees on duty drive vehicles or operate dangerous equipment.
The best way to do so: Make restrictions a matter of company policy.

I have issues using the wordpress theme.
as you can see http://www.volia1euro.com/dev the slide effect doesn't work, and it was the main feature I was interested into.
Hello,We purchased these theme with our business account..But it seems that theres no reply..We need support on the theme..Can you help us Mr. Author of the theme??
Hello,Can you please response..If you need the license code for the theme we can give show it to you…We really need assistance on this..Its only the navigation where having problem now and just a simple banner that overlapping on other pages.
Lets say I purchase this theme for an existing wordpress site – for example http://mathcraft.scorptechsolutions.com; is it possible to install this theme as well so desktop/laptop users experience the original site while mobile & tablet users experience this web app designed by you folks ??
I am sorry to say this, but your FAQ below seems to be a total BS
How do I present mobile users with this theme but keep my current theme for other users. There are a few plugins that can take care of this for you. Try the 'WP Mobile Detector' plugin. You just select the theme to present to mobile users and it takes care of the rest! It even shows statistics for mobile visits.
I have the avada theme installed for my main site and I bought your theme and installed the WP Mobile Detector; however, it keeps showing a blank blog page for my home page on my mobile device.
You need to provide better documentation or help out or else I am going to need to request for a refund – GIVING IT A 1 because it doesn't serve the actual purpose
Hi there
How does this nice theme work with WooCommerce?
I want to have separate theme for desktop and mobile. Do I need to have mobile domain such as m.mysite.com or mobile theme automatically work based on the device?
Nice Work!

The infamous "It's a major award!" scene starring John Bolton (The Old Man), Johnny Rabe (Ralphie), Erin Dilly (Mother), and Zac Ballard (Randy).
Ralphie, Randy, and Mother at the family dinner table.
Dan Lauria as Jean Shepherd, who wrote the novel that A Christmas Story was based on.
Ralphie clutches his dream Christmas gift: A Red Ryder Carbine-Action BB gun.
J.D Rodriguez, Jeremy Schinder, Analise Scarpaci, and Beatrice Tulchin recreate a classic scene.
For many, the 24-hour television marathon of A Christmas Story is as much a holiday tradition as egg nog and "Jingle Bells." Now, the beloved story of Ralphie Parker and his quest for a Red Ryder Carbine-Action BB gun is on Broadway, through December 30. "We're trying to bring a new seasonal show to the world," says Peter Billingsley, who starred as Ralphie in the classic 1983 film and is a producer on the Broadway production. "It's a fun show and it's definitely a different experience than the movie."
A musical adaptation of the Jean Shepherd holiday classic stars Erin Dilly (Nice Work if You Can Get It), John Bolton (Spamalot), and Dan Lauria (Broadway's Lombardi and television's The Wonder Years) as well as a number of exceptionally talented kids as Ralphie, Randy, and their peers. "They have a skill set that's nothing like what myself and the other kids had in that movie," says Billingsley, who was born in New York and still has family in the area. "They sing, they dance, they've got to be able to perform a show for two hours straight—the level of talent really blows me away."
The production incorporates many of the film's most famous scenes—a visit to Santa at Higbee's department store and Chinese duck for Christmas dinner—and iconic lines, but it takes the film's outlandish moments, such as Ralphie's battle against Black Bart and The Old Man's beloved leg lamp, and elevates them into choreographed song-and-dance numbers. "When you think of the tone of this movie and the fantasy sequences, there's almost a musical-like quality to the film," says Billingsley. "There's an eccentricity to the movie that I think lends itself very well to the stage."
Billingsley, who is making his Broadway debut with A Christmas Story, has had an extensive career beyond the holiday classic, serving as an executive producer for TBS's Sullivan & Son, Four Christmases, and Iron Man as well as director on Couples Retreat. "I have been fortunate enough to have a career outside [A Christmas Story the film] so I've been sort of protective of it," he says. "There's been a lot of ideas, but I've never done anything until this and it's because it really made sense and because I think it was an extension of and not a retread of."

Weekend Bookworm: The Lost Girls of Rome
21 September 2012 , 9:21 AM by Rob Minshull
The Lost Girls of Rome by Donato Carrisi
"Nature leads human beings to be optimists … It's fundamental to the survival of the species to neglect potential dangers, apart from the most obvious. We can't live in fear. A positive vision is what keeps us going despite the setbacks and misfortunes which fill our lives. The sole disadvantage is that it tends to stop us seeing evil."
Donato Carrisi is flogged by his publishers as the writer of something called "the literary thriller". How that particular genre differs from every other kind of thriller or crime fiction is hard to say. Difficulties of definition aside, what is clear is that Donato Carrisi writes beautifully complex stories which race beyond the usual 'who dunnit', delving deep into psychology as well as providing fascinating insights into matters such as art and architecture or religion and history.
As with his debut novel, The Whisperer, so it is with The Lost Girls of Rome: Carrisi offers up the sordid doings of a serial killer and presents competing rationales for behaviour as absorbing as the challenge of capture. The idea that serial killers are dying to reveal their work to the world and deliberately challenged their pursuers is condemned as just a fairy tale, "one circulated by the media to keep the public's attention alive." Serial killers enjoy what they do and that means they want to keep killing as long as they can. Fame is nothing but a hindrance. Catching them is the key.
What makes this novel different from other crime fiction thrillers is that there is no tired or troubled cop on the hunt for the killer of young women but a group of Vatican priests belonging to the ancient order of the Penitenzieri. Trained in the detection of true evil, one of the priests, Marcus, crosses paths with Sandra, a police forensics expert who is also searching for the same missing girl as well as trying to discover a connection to the murder of her husband.
What follows is an architectural tour of Rome's hidden history as Sandra sets off on a quest for answers and Marcus searches his own amnesiac past for an explanation of evil and faith in a God he's no longer sure he believes in.
"It's hard to accept that someone could have put us in this world just to see us suffer. They say that if God is good then He can't be omnipotent. A good God wouldn't let His children suffer, which means He must be powerless to prevent it. If on the other hand He's foreseen everything, then He isn't as good as He'd have us believe."
Marcus implores God to help him save the innocent young girl "without knowing if anyone was listening to him or if he was talking to himself." If some people are good and some are bad, some are evil and some are compassionate then are we born that way or do we become that way? A scarred psyche is just too simplistic an explanation and Donato Carrisi never fails to surprise with enough twists and turns to keep the best detective guessing. If you read The Whisperer and were amazed by the terrifying denouement, then fear not: the conclusion of The Lost Girls of Rome is brilliant!

Fax Software Review
Why Use Fax Software?
The top performers in our fax software review are RingCentral Fax, the Gold Award winner; MetroFax, the Silver Award winner; and Nextiva Fax, the Bronze Award winner. Here's more on choosing a software to meet your needs, along with detail on how we arrived at our ranking of these 10 software.
As more and more documents are shared electronically instead of as hard copies, it is easy to assume that faxing has become outdated in the modern office. However, there are cases where faxing documents is still required. For example, the banking, health care and legal industries still require faxed documents for signatures and security purposes. With faxing software, you can fax from your computer and do not need a traditional fax machine.
Each fax software on our lineup allows you to send and receive faxes from an online portal, and some provide a designated app for your mobile device or tablet. These services give you the flexibility to send and receive faxes without having to go back to the office or rely on a single machine.
If you are not ready to break from hard copy faxes, we suggest viewing our document scanners review and our all-in-one printers review, which have faxing abilities.
Best Options for Faxing From a Computer
When you add up the cost of ink, paper, a dedicated phone line, and the space and energy a fax machine takes up, it is easy to see that hard copy faxes take up valuable resources in your office. Furthermore, the more faxes you send, the more it costs you, especially if you are using an industrial, multipurpose machine.
Fax Software Monthly Costs
The best fax software on our lineup charge low monthly fees. The average monthly fee is about $10; however, MaxEmail, at $7 a month, has the lowest monthly cost on our lineup. Most fax software on the lineup do not charge setup fees, so there are little to no initial starting costs.
While the software on the lineup have low base costs, many place limits on the amount of faxes you can send each month and charge overage fees for sending and receiving faxes above this limit.
If you regularly are charged overage fees, it is important that a software gives you the option to upgrade to a higher monthly package. Even though these packages cost more, by upgrading a package with more allotted faxes per month, you will save your small business money in the long run by avoiding overage fees.
Designated Number for Fax to Email Software
Many of the email to fax software we evaluated assign you a designated number. While most companies assign you a toll-free number, not every software on our lineup offers this feature as standard. For example, GreenFax has two subscription options. The first does not provide a toll-free line, while the other does. These plans are the same price; however, if you chose the plan that offers a toll-free number, your allotted number of faxes per month is reduced.
If you are looking for further information on email-to-fax software or wondering what option is best, read our supplemental articles on fax software.
Business Fax Software: What We Tested, What We Found
The overall value of fax software is made up of a few things, including the amount of pages you can send and receive, monthly costs and fees, and available features for sending and receiving faxes. While many factors may go into the fax software you choose, we determined these factors to be the most important.
Page Allowance & Usage
Some software gives you one total number for both sending and receiving faxes; for example, Nextiva Fax vFAX allows a total of 500 pages per month to be used for either sending or receiving, whatever your business needs are. Other companies split your total number into specific receiving and sending allotments. For example, MaxEmail allows you to receive 250 faxes and send 100 pages before charging overage fees.
We gave higher credit to software that allows you to use your page allotment for both sending and receiving instead of limiting you to separate amounts since this gives you more options on how you use the fax service.
Uncommon Features
In our evaluation of fax software, we looked for features that are useful for small business owners but not commonly offered with fax to email software. Many companies limit the length of time you can store received faxes; eFax, however, has no time limit.
Another uncommon feature we evaluated is the ability to block certain senders. This feature helps you limit junk faxes, which use up your allotted page count. This tool is invaluable if you find you are bombarded with spam or unsolicited faxes. Many of the programs do not allow you to block fax numbers without assistance from the technical support team.
The last uncommon feature we evaluated is scheduled delivery. This tool allows you to schedule faxes to be sent at a later time and is especially useful if you are sending faxes to international lines.
Ease of Use
Another important feature of fax software for Windows we tested is how intuitive a software is when using it; these tests included how easy it is to set up an account, log in and use the online portal as well as the mobile platform. Software that made it easy to navigate and send and receive faxes received the highest scores on our lineup. We found that the programs with a clean interface and labeled tools were the easiest to navigate. For example, programs like eFax that offered clear instructions on how to send a fax and where to view them received high usability scores.
When testing the mobile platform for each software, we found that the programs that had an associated app were the easiest to use. The applications clearly labeled the tools so that you could send and receive a fax quickly and with ease. These applications also send notifications to your phone, so you know immediately when a fax has come in. The software that require you to access the program online were not as intuitive. Many of the software, like Nextiva Fax, were difficult to navigate because the online platform was displayed poorly or it was hard to find the tools on such a small screen.
We took into account both the online portal and mobile platform when evaluating the software and developing an ease of use score. Software with a steep learning curve received lower scores. While these software still effectively send and receive faxes, they are harder to run and take longer to set up before you can begin using them.
Customer Support
The final thing we tested when evaluating fax software was the customer service provided by each company. To test customer service, we contacted each company via email and over the phone. We asked support personnel several questions about the service. Many companies provided more detailed support through email than over the phone; some companies even responded within an hour of our sending emails. Nextiva scored exceptionally high in customer support due to support's quick and thorough responses to our inquiries.
Top Ten Reviews seeks, whenever possible, to evaluate all products and services in hands-on tests that simulate as closely as possible the experiences of a typical consumer. We obtained the units in our comparison either on loan from the companies or through retail purchase. The companies had no input or influence over our test methodology, nor was the methodology provided to any of them in more detail than is available through reading our reviews. Results of our evaluations were not provided to the companies in advance of publication.
When choosing fax software, it is important to select a software with features that are most important to you and your business, while also considering the factors we have outlined above.
Our Verdict & Recommendations
Even though most offices do not have fax machines, there are still plenty of faxes being sent through faxing software. In our evaluation, we found RingCentral Fax, MetroFax and Nextiva Fax to be the best fax software platforms. These services outperformed the competition due to the programs' ease of use, exceptional customer service and uncommon features offered. Additionally, these services offer the best value with a large allotment of faxes for each month at a low cost.
While not the best fax software, we found that Sfax, in particular, was especially useful, as the software offers more security than the other programs on our lineup. The program is designed for medical facilities with the strict rules and regulations of HIPAA in mind. These features ensure your documents remain protected and your information secure. For these reasons, Sfax is our top choice for the medical industry.
In general, using fax to email software can save your company money and resources, while providing valuable faxing services for your company's needs.

Suggestions on what my hair type is?
3 Attachment(s)
Ive been transitioning for 4 1/2 months now.
In terms of curl pattern I would say a 4B or 4C. Maybe even a combo.
I think your a 4A......I've heard that you see your true texture when your hair is dry, but my experience is that it's really the same wet,or dry, but it's just easier to see the curls (at least mine anyway) when they are wet b/c they clump together much better.
I'd say 3c.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using CurlTalk App
I think my hair was dry when i took these pictures ill wait another month and snap some wet and dry to see how the curls look.

"They" Are All the Same
I attended one of those fancy-schmancy New England boarding schools that seem to only exist in movies. The average student at my school was White, wealthy, and unaccustomed to interacting with people of color like myself.
One afternoon, I was playing Ping-Pong in a dorm common room with my friend Carrie, one of the few Black students at the school. Another friend, a White guy named Josh, walked into the dorm while we were playing. I stopped to introduce Carrie and Josh to each other. But Josh interrupted me.
"We already know each other," he stated matter-of-factly. Then, turning to Carrie, he said, "You're in my math class, right?"
"Actually, no. I'm not in your math class," Carrie responded.
Our boarding school prided itself on its small class sizes (less than 12 students). So really, you should know who is and is not in your math class.
But Josh was clearly confused. Scratching his head he said, "Well, there's some Black girl in my math class who looks just like you."
They Are All the Same
After investigating, we discovered that our friend Amber—a Black female student who looks nothing like Carrie—was in Josh's math class. But as far as Josh was concerned, Amber and Carrie were the same person! According to him, all Black girls look the same.
To be fair, White guys like Josh aren't the only ones who mistakenly perceive culturally different people as all the same. Social psychology research shows that people from China, Vietnam, and Japan perceive themselves as distinct from one another, but many Westerners have a tough time telling them apart. Older adults perceive younger adults as all the same and younger adults perceive older adults as all the same. Liberals lump together all conservatives. Drama majors like to talk about "math types" and math majors like to talk about "drama types." Californians brag about their cultural and ethnic diversity while non-Californians talk of the "typical Californian." And yes, White people often think that all Black people look the same.
Why does this happen? Why do we tend to perceive "them" as all the same? And how does this tendency affect cross-cultural interactions?
The Outgroup Homogeneity Effect
We categorize people so quickly and effortlessly that it seems like second nature. When it comes to conserving time and energy, categorizing is very helpful. It helps us quickly and effortlessly organize our social worlds.
However, categorizing people can lead to some pretty serious consequences, one of which is what social psychologists call the outgroup homogeneity effect. We tend to view other cultural groups as homogenous. They are all the same. On the other hand, we tend to view our cultural group as heterogenous. We are all unique.
Without even knowing it, the outgroup homogeneity effect can influence our perceptions of diverse people and prevent us from leaving our homogenous cliques. This happens all the time in church settings.
We are certain that all of the women in the conservative church on the other side of town are pregnant and barefoot, even though we have not yet gotten to know any of the members of the church (or their many homeschooled children).
Speaking of homeschoolers, we are certain that they all are weird and socially awkward (this homeschooled author is no exception).
We are certain that all of the men who belong to the church with the female pastor are weak and need to read Wild at Heart (again).
We are certain that all students at Christian colleges are obsessed with getting married.
We are certain that all the people at a particular church vote the same way.
We are certain that all the people at the Pentecostal church are raging Pentecostals with overdeveloped sensory systems and underdeveloped theology.
In spite of our obvious lack of interaction with many other cultural groups, we tend to think of ourselves as experts on them. We already know what they are like, we tell ourselves. They are all the same. If I know one, I know them all. As a result, we stick to the people in our homogenous cultural groups whom we perceive to be far more nuanced and evolved than everyone else.
But when we become aware of our natural tendency to perceive other cultural groups as "all the same," we can be on the lookout for all sorts of assumptions, and we can consciously choose to see other cultural groups as just as diverse, rich, and varied as our own. We're much more likely to desire cross-cultural relationships when we see other groups in all of their diverse glory.

What you described happened between your two friends at school happened to me at a mostly white, suburban church I used to attend. One of the pastors insisted he saw me at a shopping center that I know for a fact I was not at. He didn't make the black comment, but it was clear he had confused me with some other black woman. Another time, I invited a black friend to church with me for a concert and a few days later someone comes up to me and says, "You and Tina look alike. Why is that?" Say what?! I just shrugged and walked away. How do you even answer a question like that. Had I been thinking quicker on my feet, I would have made up some smart-ass answer about genetics.

Dear Christena, Interesting reflections. I am concerned, though, that this post suggests that we are all on an even playing field- like, in-group/out-group dynamics can be applied to everyone, and that, as a result we are all essentially guilty of the same thing. I wonder, though, if this sort of approach, though friendlier to those who might not be willing to listen to these sorts of critiques, actually does more damage for those of us trying to make sense of the ways in which we are perceived as "culturally" different. By suggesting your first example is on par (equivalent in prejudice) with your subsequent ones (i.e. "homeschooled" kids), feels as though the structural/socialization problems with the first example are minimized, and that there aren't very real, felt, power dynamics explored in the differences between the examples you gave. The consequences in these examples are not only vastly different, but you also haven't account for how REAL prejudice aids in structural oppression.

Thanks for your response! I agree that this particular post doesn't account for the very real power differences that affect intergroup relations. I think that's a very important piece -- and one that deserve plenty of discussion. However, all/many of us engage in divisive behaviors in relation to groups with which we DO enjoy equal status. Those divisions break the heart of God as well. And it's those divisions that this article focuses on. On my blog, I've written extensively about the roles that power and privilege play in intergroup relations. I encourage you to check it out and join in the conversation!

In the late 80s and early 90s, the renowned Penfolds Bin 389 was regarded as the "poor man's Grange" because it was aged in barrels that used to house the Grange and was about 1/20th of the price.
These days it's shot up in price and, at more than $60 a pop, isn't really relevant to the poor at all.
I was reminded of all this when reading about proposed changes to taxes on alcohol under the Henry review of the Australian taxation system, which will be released on Sunday.
Wine is taxed very differently to other forms of alcohol, but under Ken Henry's proposed plan it is expected there will be just one tax rather than a myriad others.
It means wine, spirits, beer and other alcohol will be taxed the same rather than under 13 different tax rates as is currently used. And wine prices will be most affected because of the way wine is taxed.
But what does it mean for you the wine drinker?
Well, it depends if you were one of those poor men (or women) looking for a hint of that Grange or if you were one of the lucky ones able to purchase Australia's most iconic wine.
You see, under a single rate of excise at a rate proposed in the Henry review, any wine under $27 would go up in price, while anything over $27 would come down.
Essentially, the more expensive the wine, the cheaper it will be if the proposals are put in place, as expected.
It will be an interesting fallout, whatever happens.
Health groups have long lobbied about how easy it is to get your hands on cheap booze. For example, they say cask wine is equal in price to soft drink.
But the Australian Hotels Association is at odds with the health lobby. They don't want the new tax to hit low-income workers while the rich further deepen their pockets.
Under Henry's proposal of one volumetric tax, the current Grange recommended retail price of $620 would drop by $100, while a four-litre cask wine worth $15 would soar to around $35.
In essence, the poor man may be a little closer to attaining a Grange, just don't expect him to drink much (cheap) wine while he pursues his dream.
What do you think of the proposed changes? Comment below or here.

2008 Rolling Shiraz, $18, 14%, 89pts
Extremely lovely and luscious for such a young wine, with flavours that literally roll around your palate. A very ripe and rich shiraz from the rolling hills of the Central Ranges in NSW.
2009 Rolling Sauvignon Blanc Semillon, $18, 12%, 87pts
Unlike many Semillon blends, when the grassiness can counteract the smoothness of the drop, this held hands with the Sauvignon Blanc grape like an old school friend. So light and subtle, with the hint of acid from zesty citrus, it sailed down the throat with frightening ease. Enjoy it with something like seafood risotto and watch as its subtle favours suddenly bloom in your mouth. A real little find.

The Wall Street Journal Editorial Board: Stop Denying the Crisis of Sexual Assault in the Military
Our military is facing a sexual assault crisis. And this week a prominent opinion writer for the Wall Street Journal, James Taranto, made it worse. Taranto referred to efforts to reduce sexual assault in the military as "becoming an effort to criminalize male sexuality." Framing the campaign as a "war on men," he used terms like "hanky-panky" and "sexual recklessness" to describe potential sexual assault, belittling the seriousness of the crime.
More than 19,000 sexual assaults occurred in the military in 2010 and nearly one in three military women report unwanted sexual assault. Taranto's victim-blaming is a slap in the face to those survivors and the people who love and respect them. We deserve responsible media coverage that addresses this ongoing crisis, instead of denying it.
The Ms. Foundation for Women and the Service Women's Action Network are outraged. Help us send a message to the Wall Street Journal that women will not tolerate hateful rhetoric and sexist doctrine on the opinion pages. Sign our petition calling for the disciplining of Taranto and a formal meeting with the Wall Street Journal's editorial board.
As Taranto's writing makes clear, we have much more to do to end the culture of acceptance of violence against women.

James Taranto's June 17 opinion piece, "Gen. Helms and the Senator's 'Hold'", was deeply offensive to women's advocates and expressed a disconcerting lack of understanding of the seriousness of sexual assault. We find such hateful rhetoric highly inappropriate for a newspaper of the Wall Street Journal's caliber.
We call on you to formally meet with the Ms. Foundation for Women and the Service Women's Action Network to correct the impression that efforts to end sexual assault in the military constitute a "war on men." We further ask you to censure James Taranto for his acceptance of sexual assault.
The best form of justice for survivors is a commitment to cultural change that puts an end to sexual assault.

When you think about food all day long, it's hard for a dish to win 5-star praise. Believe us when we say these holiday party starters are best in class.
Four-Seed Cheddar Triangles"I usually make a double batch of these because I'll eat a lot of them myself! This recipe bumps ho-hum plain cheese straws into a more sophisticated category. They're great to look at, and even better to munch on. Always a crowd favorite." -Donna Florio
Pepper Jelly-Goat Cheese Cakes"Southern Living's Pepper Jelly – Goat Cheese Cakes are always a crowd pleaser. It's hard to beat the flavor of tangy goat cheese with sweet, hot pepper jelly. These perfectly sized, showy bites that can be made a day ahead, might be the perfect party appetizer. Try them with a variety of pepper jellies. Right now, I'm in love with Mango Peach Habanero Jelly from Hot Damn! JellyCo." –Jason Burnett, Editor MyRecipes.com
Spinach-and-Artichoke Dip"I particularly like this dish because it's a combination of two dips that I love–spinach dip and hot artichoke dip. It's the best of both worlds. This dip does not compromise on flavor or texture, even with the reduced-fat cheeses and fat-free sour cream. Because of the spinach, it seems a little healthier than some of the other holiday dips. I like it so much that sometimes I just eat it as a side dish instead of scooping into it with a chip."–Anne Cain
Fig and Goat Cheese Bruschetta"Believe it or not, this is actually the first Cooking Light recipe I ever made. My college roommate and I made it one evening for a get-together at our apartment and I've been making it ever since! The sweet-savory-tangy combo is divine and it's impressive yet incredibly easy to make. If I'm in a hurry, I just pick up a jar of fig preserves at the grocery store (shhh)." -Mallory Brasseale, CookingLight.com Editor
Sausage Balls"This is one of the earliest holiday appetizers I can remember from childhood. Sharp cheddar is my all time favorite cheese and the sausage adds a little heat to lift your spirits. It also helps that they are bite size so you can easily pop one in while you grab another!" -Jim Sheetz, Production Manager MyRecipes.com
Seared Beef Tenderloin Mini Sandwiches with Mustard-Horseradish Sauce"I like to serve an appetizer that can be filling and flavorful. This elegant, easy appetizer makes the most of pricy beef tenderloin by shaving it thinly for the sandwiches."-Ashley Kappel, Production Editor MyRecipes.com
Apple-Blue Cheese Chutney"A simple, elegant bite. This is a great make ahead app. You could even take the crostini, chutney, and cheese to a party, then assemble when you arrive."-Hannah Klinger, Cooking Light Associate Food Editor
Deviled Eggs with Pickled Onions"I'm a deviled egg fiend during the holidays! I mean, come on; who doesn't love deviled eggs? Classic is great, but this recipe is stepped up a notch—lightened by using some Greek yogurt in place of mayo and spiced up with some Sriracha. The pickled onions are deliciously tangy and only take 15 minutes to make." -Michelle Klug, CookingLight.com Assistant Editor
Warm Cranberry-Walnut Brie"As soon as this dish comes out of the oven my family and I fight like sharks to get the perfect gooey bite. Nothing like stabbing your brother in the hand with the sharp edge of a cracker to promote holiday cheer, but it's just that good." -Erin McFarland, Assistant Editor MyRecipes.com
Pepita Pesto-Stuffed Mushrooms"Every time a plate of stuffed mushrooms comes out on the floor, my husband and I immediately race to the platter to scoop up the succulent, flavorful bites. In our opinion, no party is complete without them."- Rebecca Longshore, Production Assistant MyRecipes.com
Endive Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Walnuts"Every bite packs a contrast of sweet, salty, tangy, bitter, creamy, and crunchy. They're easy to make, and I love to double the candied walnuts and save for another use such as salad toppings."–Mary Creel
Pancetta Crisps With Goat Cheese"I always look for quick appetizers with short ingredient lists when I throw a party, so the Pancetta Crisps With Goat Cheese and Pear is a perfect pick. The touch of honey with the pancetta and pear make for a winning combination of tastes and textures."–Ashley Leath
Spicy Chipotle Barbecue Sausage Bites"I love these bite-size delights because they're easy to make and fun to eat. It never fails that this yummy appetizer is always the first to be gobbled up at parties. I never seem to make enough." -Virginia Switzer
Smoked Salmon Canapés"I love these buttery canapés because you can make the dough ahead and top it with just about anything that appeals to you: a tapenade, sour cream and caviar, or Stilton and sautéed mushrooms, for instance. They're very good with the smoked salmon topping, too."–Julia Rutland
Cranberry Liqueur"I made the Cranberry Liqueur to take to my sister's house in Georgia where my entire family was gathering. (Be prepared: It has to 'ferment' for a few weeks.) Before Christmas dinner I made up the Cranberry Cosmopolitans that are a serving suggestion with the recipe, and they were a hit. For a housewarming gift, I gave my sister some martini glasses to serve the drinks in."–Mary Creel
Salt-and-Pepper Cheese Puffs (Gougères)"These are my favorite because of the sheer ease of baking them and because they are completely irresistible, especially when hot out of the oven and accompanied by a glass of chilled Champagne."–Margo True, Food Editor, Sunset
Feta Cheese Truffles"Serve a tray of these truffles with various veggies and crackers for an affordable variation on the traditional cheese plate. Have fun with the toppings by rolling the truffles in chopped parsley, basil, toasted pecans, or bacon." Holley Johnson
Peppered Three-Onion Tart with Smoked Salmon"One of my favorite recipes–Peppered Three Onion Tart with Smoked Salmon–gets multitasked into an appetizer, a side dish, or perhaps a brunch dish. It's so good I have to make more than I think I'll need because it disappears fast."–Julia Rutland
