When it comes to working with the United States, Russia is "playing a zero sum game," Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News Thursday.
Discussing whether the "lure of the first female president" will be enough to overcome concerns voters have about Hillary Clinton, Rep. Michele Bachmann ?told Cal Thomas that the former secretary of state would essentially be "Obama's third and fourth term in office," which may "scare enough people to vote for the Republican nominee."
Hillary Clinton is undoubtedly the Democratic frontrunner, a point Charles Krauthammer conceded on the Hugh Hewitt show Tuesday, but if any Democrat wants to challenge her, he thinks the place to start would be with her abysmal record as secretary of state.
Keeping track of all the changes, delays, and repeals made to Obamacare seems nearly impossible these days—and for good reason.
California state Sen. William Monning ?proposed a bill Thursday that would require a warning label on the front of all beverages that have added sweeteners. The label, which would apply to beverages with 75 or more calories in every 12 ounces, would reade: "STATE OF CALIFORNIA SAFETY WARNING: Drinking beverages with added sugar(s) contributes to obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay."
U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan have skyrocketed under President Obama.
You didn't think Michigan's labor unions would let right to work laws pass without enacting some sort of retribution, did you?
According to a reporter with the TimesDaily.com, Alabama Democratic Rep. Alvin Holmes allegedly said on the state House floor that he doesn't like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas because…he's married to a white woman. Holmes, for the record, is African-American.
National Intelligence Director James Clapper and Defense Intelligence Agency Director Michael Flynn directly contradicted the president during a Senate Armed Services committee hearing.
There are consequences of the increased prevalence of marijuana use in society—one of which is undoubtedly drugged driving.
Assistant Secretary of State Victory Nuland has apologized for the supposed leak of a telephone conversation with the U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, Geoffrey Pyatt, in which she said "f*** the EU."
Speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C. Thursday, President Obama focused on religious freedom in other countries, saying that it matters to national security at home and plays a prominent role in the country's foreign policy.
Young women aren't signing up for Obamacare. Enroll America's remedy for that? Launch a multi-million dollar ad campaign featuring singing (and rapping) pets.
There's just one small problem stopping Colorado from being able to collect tax revenue on marijuana sales: federal law.
Team Rubicon is changing the current paradigm in disaster response and helping veterans along the way.
After his "instantly forgettable" State of the Union address on Tuesday, Rebel Pundit interviewed a handful of Chicago activists to see what they thought of President Obama's speech. Needless to say, it wasn't good.
Pro-life organizations are standing with a small pro-life group in Waco, Texas to boycott Girl Scout cookies over the organization's recent "praise for Wendy Davis and HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius…and because of a deep and lasting entanglement with abortion providers and abortion rights organizations," according to the CookieCott 2014's website.
If you made it through the end of the SOTU last night, you'll know that the best part was undoubtedly the story of Sgt. Cory Remsburg, and watching the subsequent standing ovation this hero deservedly received. And then NBC News ruined it when Senior Political Editor Mark Murray tweeted this:
Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.) admitted Tuesday during testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that's he's "no real expert on China."
Norwegians are not happy about the next U.S. ambassador to their country—and for good reason; he's a top Obama bundler that knows absolutely nothing about Norway.

When his wayward younger sister moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon's insular life spirals out of control. (Fox Searchlight Pictures)

Score distribution:
Positive: 29 out of 41
Mixed: 10 out of 41
Negative: 2 out of 41
A mesmerizing companion piece to his 2008 debut, "Hunger," this more approachable but equally uncompromising drama likewise fixes its gaze on the uses and abuses of the human body, as Michael Fassbender again strips himself down, in every way an actor can, for McQueen's rigorous but humane interrogation.
Mulligan is terrific here, and restrained in a way that suggests an actorly generosity unusual for someone so young: Her scenes with Fassbender don't so much say "Look at me" as "Look at him."
Fassbender's portrayal is truly haunting, and when he sobs, dramatically unraveling, it's clear he's imprisoned by his physical urges.
Much of the film is banal or pretentious, or both - vacuous vignettes about emptiness. Occasionally, though, those vignettes burst into life and burn with consuming fire.
How can visual pleasure communicate existential misery? It is a real and interesting challenge, and if Shame falls short of meeting it, the seriousness of its effort is hard to deny.
Dec 1, 2011Most of the film feels recycled from sexually explicit art movies dating back at least to "Last Tango in Paris" (1972) and continuing with movies like Patrice Chéreau's "Intimacy" (2001) or Götz Spielmann's "Antares" (2004). With nothing new in its characters, settings, or themes, Shame has little to offer except McQueen's style, which does little to elucidate anything around it.
Score distribution:
Positive: 40 out of 51
Mixed: 9 out of 51
Negative: 2 out of 51
May 23, 2014One of McQueen's best efforts before the amzaing 12 Years A Slave. It's just such an emotional look at the downside of humanity. Michael Fassbender is just so good at living with the character of Brandon and Carrey Mulligan impresses me like always when she graced our screens with "An Education"… Expand
Feb 24, 2014Steve McQueen's second film is just as hard-edged and brutally honest as his outstanding debut Hunger and his phenomenal follow-up 12 Years a Slave, but in an entirely different way. In Shame, the British auteur explores a topic hardly ever discussed in the film industry, sexual addiction, and uses it as a means to create a brilliant character study with artistic visuals. With very few things actually happening, Shame surely feels the longest of all of Steve McQueen's films and, just as with Hunger and 12 Years a Slave, it's probably going to take me quite some time to watch it again. However, the film brings up a lot of interesting things to think about and is the most honest and dignified approach to the subject I could think of, thus making it something very worthy of checking out.… Expand
Jan 21, 2012Director Steve McQueen started as a cinema artist and that shows in his commercial work. There are extended takes & minimal dialogue (hence, slow pacing) and episodes that add up to an impression (as opposed to a storyline). Michael Fassbinder plays a New York stud, who's obsessed with sex and afraid of intimacy. As a result, there two primary types of scenes: sex (including random pickups, masturbation & full-frontal nudity) and struggle (rueful staring and disaffected relationships). It's compelling on several levels, but too cerebral to be powerful. The most shameful thing is that the distributors had the conviction to release it in NC-17 (with all the attendant barriers) and it's not worth the risk.… Expand
Apr 6, 2014It's not offensive, it's not particularly interesting, it's mainly just boring, and extremely overrated.
The guy's problem is uninteresting and 90% of the male population has the same urges/done worse. Personally I felt that some of the behaviour/dialogue felt wrong to, perhaps due to the choice of actor (European), e.g. the bar scene and some others. I was not surprised to find out later on that McQueen is a black guy as it would suit a black actor much better.
I sat through it until the end so I guess it wasn't completely terrible but I sure did feel as if I had wasted my time.… Expand

- Yummy and convenientPennyDined on 11/14/2014We were staying at the Sonoma Wine Country Inn in Santa Rosa, which has Nectar on its premises. The night-time view was lovely from the dining room, lights twinkling in the distance over the city. Our server was just right. We enjoyed the crab cakes as a shared appetizer and then shared the Kobe beef meatloaf with roasted potatoes as an entree. It was important to share, because the portions, as we could see at other tables, are way too large for sensible eating. Now, Kobe beef is only sold in Japan, so I don't know what the beef really was in the meatloaf, but it was superb. Juicy, beefy, seasoned just right. The roasted potatoes, in wedges, were delicious as potatoes but they should have come with some sort of condiment like sour cream. We did not finish them, because they seemed a bit dry. We drank a very nice wine and were pleased to see that the bar was welcoming and lively for cocktails.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not up to usual standardsDianeVIPDined on 11/1/2014We ate on Saturday night -- special Prime Rib Night. The meat was not properly cooked, and it was tough, and not very flavorful. It was served with a russet baked potato, that was not very hot -- the butter didn't melt on the potato. The vegetables were skimpy and very undercooked. The one small carrot tasted like a slightly warmed raw carrot - very hard to cut with a sharp knife. We won't order Prime Rib again. The single serving wine list is very limited and somewhat expensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Dependable choice at HiltonFoodieVIPDined on 10/10/2014Service- Great that includes hostess and our server Melissa Food- very good. Particularly meatloaf and prime rib. I only wish that items that were on the menu previously such as Lamb Duo and the Filet weren't taken off. They were excellent offerings and the current menu is a bit "boring"Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bar Menuyankee12VIPDined on 10/7/2014Bar menu is far superior to restaurant food. Bar menu is fresh and innovative. restaurant tastes likek warmed over conference center food.
- Hidden gemMkeen329Dined on 10/5/2014A group of 4 of us went for Sunday breakfast. The food was top notch and the views were peaceful. I'm so glad we had made reservations through Opentable. When we arrived there was a large crowd of people waiting to be seated. The wait was going to be about 45 minutes. I was worried we would be seated late because we had a flight to catch. When I walked up and mentioned the reservation and that we were a little early, she said our table is ready. Overall it was a perfect morning!Special Features:
- Large groups come firstLindylouDined on 10/4/2014The food was pretty good, but by the time our entrees arrived we just felt like boxing it all up. The restaurant was either understaffed or just incapable of handling private diners as well as 2 large groups. I take some responsibility because we were late for our reservation, and our waitress did apologize and explain the delay was due to the two large parties. We will probably try again some night, but will ask how busy they are first :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We had to wait forever for our foodETinSLCDined on 10/3/2014We did get to this restaurant in the Hilton Hotel and was seated at a beautiful patio. However, after that the meal went bad. The server took a very long time to even acknowledge and then finally take our order. Then after some wait to get our salads we had to wait for about an hour to get our entrees. This was pathetic! Every one around us seemed to be served first and the restaurants excuse was that a large table on the other side of the restaurant had to be served and then they could serve us. They tried to make good by getting us another round of drinks but we just wanted our food by that point. The food ended up being cold and really not very good. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Stay away!Special Features:
- Light dinner before the showDeAnnaDined on 9/25/2014Our group of seven had a light dinner before the show at Wells Fargo Center. Two of our party had a full meal, the rest of us chose from the appetizer menu. Everyone was pleased with their choices (I can say the crab cakes and ribs were very good). They have a decent wine list and full bar, the views are very nice indeed. Service was good. Our group was a bit boisterous, which might normally make me uncomfortable for the other diners, but the tables were spaced well apart and most others were dining on the outside patio. That added so much comfort to our evening, as so many restaurants place as many tables as possible in a room, leaving little privacy between dining parties. Overall, a fine experience and we will go back to enjoy it again!Special Features:
- Great tastes at NectarAlfaBMWGuyVIPDined on 9/24/2014The Golden Beet Carpaccio was a stunning surprise, and the 'big kid' Macaroni and Cheese [with 6 optional toppings] was a treat.Special Features:
- Get there earlyDisappointedVIPDined on 9/11/2014The whole point of being at this restaurant is the view. You might think you're booking an early bird special, but getting there early enough to see the sun set is the point! The food is amazing and sitting outside was perfect because they had heat lamps to help offset the chill. Food was delicious and service was great. Enjoy!Special Features:
- Stardawna's 1st Restaurant.com useStardawna4FFoodDined on 8/13/2014My husband and I are celebrating 50 years of marriage this weekend. I thought I'd try using Restaurant.com for a nice meal. Nectar Restaurant was very nice. The views are beautiful. The food and drinks were good. The service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious foodMecruz216VIPDined on 8/9/2014Wonderful farm to plate fare. My husband and I had the pan fried chicken which was tender juicy and delicious. The vegetables were cooked to perfection & the twice baked potato was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RudyRudyDined on 8/9/2014The food was ok, very pricy however. We won't be going back soon.Special Features:
- Nice for dinnerlocalsonomaboyDined on 8/5/2014Good place for two if you are eating inside. They have four or so booths, ask for one of those. Food is very good with nice presentation. On the steaks if you like medium well ask for medium and you will be happy. The wait staff is friendly and quick. On weekdays the place is easy to get into no reservation required. They have a great outdoors area that can seat a good amount of people. Would be good for groups. Place is too quiet for little kids. Overall a nice place that will not break the budget about 200 for two which would include apps, main course, wine and desert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We were a little disappointed in the salad we split but I'd recommend the risotto; it was delicious.

- Great outdoor dining spotIrinaDined on 7/14/2014Pros: beautiful terrace; couches and firepits as well as table dining; good food. We had Salmon entree (salmon a bit on the smaller side; rice cakes are fantastic), Short ribs entree with twice backed potato (awesome); Pasta with chicken (so-so), Shrimp entree (good), and meatloaf entree (a bit too dry). Cons: slow service, took forever to get food; they charge for bread and while it was yummy and hot from the oven, the middle slice was consistently cold/ nearly frozen in the center.Special Features:
- Wonderful!cbgoDined on 7/1/2014Although we just live minutes away from Nectar, this is our 1st visit back in over 20 years. We checked the menu on line. Was, at 1st, disappointed that the risotto was not on the eve's selections. Between the 3 of us we chose the sea bass, which was superb - crab cakes were done to perfection ... filled with moist dungeness - perfectly crisp on the outside - baby romaine wedge with Pt. Reyes Blue and bacon was quite simply the best. The wine list was extensive and reasonably priced. Our server was low keyed and funny ... never bugged us ... had that wonderful sense of knowing just what we needed. Unpretentious. A big thumbs up from locals who have a long list of wonderful restaurants to choose from here in wine country.Special Features:
- Not bad not goodStilllookingDined on 6/27/2014I don't mind paying the price for a good dinner, my wife and I get very little time to our selves so a night out is extremely valuable, So with that 2-bar drinks, 2-house salads, a runny macaroni and cheese dish and a good ravioli / spinach with tomato's dish including the outside ambiance did not add up to $98.00. Sorry it not on my list for a while. I'll try again but not right away.Special Features:
- Always a good choice for a mealDianeVIPDined on 6/10/2014We frequent this restaurant often. It is always a delightful experience. The staff is pleasant and efficient, and the food and wines are delicious. Guests via Open Table receive a complimentary wine tasting -- good idea to sample before ordering.Special Features:
- OkayShaleyDined on 6/2/2014View great. Food okay. Onion rings looked and tasted like frozen. Dinner entrees okay but not over the top. Do not serve bread. Doubtful we wood go again. Dinner for 4 $180.00 included 3 cocktails. Nothing special except very comfortable chairs and good view.Special Features:
- Great View Food DisappointsKAK2VIPDined on 5/26/2014Have been here several times. Always enjoy the view and service. They have an excellent bar. However the food generally disappoints. If I return, I will stick to the bar menu or just order appetizers.Special Features:
- Wine for Open Table ReservationsDianeVIPDined on 5/21/2014The restaurant serves 3 oz of wine to each guest for making a reservation through Open Table. So thanks to Open Table and to Nectar. The food is always good and the service staff is very accommodating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Had a great time here!Jackievr4VIPDined on 5/10/2014Went here after wine tasting in Napa for dinner..the food was OK and the service is great!! After dinner we had drinks outside by the fire pit and the scenery was beautiful! Enjoyed our time here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nicely resolvedRenoRobDined on 5/5/2014First, the bottle of wine in the room only cost you $24, which is a good price for MacMurray Pinot Noir. We had a glass in the room then brought the rest of the bottle to the restaurant. No corkage fee. Second the appetizer was not good. Server brought a second choice without us asking which was nice. When I got the bill there was no charge for either appetizer. We were back for breakfast which was nice except for the scrambled eggs.Special Features:
- GreatgreatVIPDined on 4/21/2014Just as good as the last time!all the food was fixed to perfection.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- an excellent dinnergreatVIPDined on 4/14/2014a very good dinner with outstanding service and little noiseSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Needs improvementsJimmyDined on 3/27/2014We've eaten at Nectar many times over the last few years and have always been satisfied. This visit was plaged by slow and unattentive service and cold food. Couldn't advise the waitress to heat the food because she wasn't around. However, to their credit, the manager who did stop by to chat took care of the bill at no charge to us. That in itself is a great reason to visit Nectar because it shows that when things do not go as you'd like they will work to fix the problem. It appears that a large wedding party overwellmed their resources leading to the problems. The table next to us also experienced issues. I'm certain that the restaurant manager will fix the problems and we will be please to revisit.Special Features:
- Excellent foodSFMagicalPrinceDined on 3/14/2014Well prepared, well balanced and nice portions. Good job!Special Features:
- Good but not greatdragonflyVIPDined on 3/14/2014We were here for restaurant and were also staying in the hotel. The food was mixed - some good (pork belly) and some just OK (red snapper was dry). It was al very edible but would not rush back there in the future. We sat on the deck which was very nice, and warm for March!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another enjoyable dine at NectarMaxwellVIPDined on 2/27/2014Nectar makes it easy to forget it is a hotel restaurant (this is meant as a compliment to the General Manager and his staff because so many hotel restaurants are forgettable). We've dined here for years and we've had our very knowledgeable server before; she was great. There were some "hiccups" getting the reservation made on Open Table but, again, the GM was very customer-focused in resolving the problem.Special Features:
- Yes to Nectar Lounge and RestaurantGw1018Dined on 2/23/2014We were celebrating a birthday and there were six in our party. They arranged to tables, one in a private dining room and one in the main dining room. We chose the first one and loved it. It was like being in our own dining rooms....quiet, spacious and pretty. I really appreciated their work, service and making it a special occasion.Special Features:
- Just averageDanielDined on 2/17/2014Nothing special except for the patio. The service was ok but the food was nothing to write home about. The sweet potato fries were oily and lacked crispness. Crab cakes ($13) were ok but very small and the lettuce garnish was wilted with brown edges.Special Features:
- Beyond our expectationstravelgirlDined on 2/15/2014Since this is a hotel restaurant, we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Although the menu seemed limited, there were enough items on the menu to chose from, including the special, prime rib. My husband had the crab stuffed sole and I ordered the grilled salmon. His entrée was delicious! The crab was plentiful and had a slight red bell pepper seasoning, and not too rich, which I've often found with other crab stuffing. My salmon was perfect. Both entrees came with rice pilaf, with an abundance of brocollini and perfectly cooked carrots. I really like vegetables with my dinner and most restaurants give you a stick or two of asparagus! Excellent desserts and dessert cocktails. Try the chocolate kiss! Wonderful!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So soWineloverDined on 2/14/2014I guess I may have been expecting too much. The ambiance was great, quiet, candlelight, flowers, but we usually choose a restaurant for the food. My husband and I both had the halibut, which came in a bowl with forbidden rice and vegetables. The fish was moist, but lacked flavor other than it be well salted and peppered. It also did not have the texture of halibut. I was not sure I was eating the right fish. The bread was delicious and the service was great. The waiter knew just how much attention was just right. He seemed genuinely concerned that we were having a great time. The wine was delicious which was paired with each course expertly. Even though the service and wine were great, I am not sure I would go there again.Special Features:
- We dined here for New Year'sOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014We dined here for New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day so far this year. Both times were a Prix Fixe menu, and neither disappointed!! The ambience is quiet, and you should take time to sip a cocktail or glass of wine on the patio to enjoy the view. We really want to come back soon to try the regular menu offering.Special Features:
- Valentine's Day DelightShushieDined on 2/14/2014I loved our dinner at Nectar. The view is the prime spot to see a superb sunset. First and second courses were both creative as well as delicious! Perfect for the foodie, both vegetarian as well as carnivore. Dessert was chocolate creme brullee and a chocolate volcano cake, that will make the pickiest swoone! Service was great, feels like staff enjoys working there. I 've been there before, and the hamburger plate makes a great lunch!Special Features:

seafood pot-pie recipes? tips?
- j
- jmullen1251 Dec 7, 2009 05:41 AM
hi all,
i'm having some friends over for a pre-holiday get-together and thought i'd make seafood pot-pies (wavering between individual ones or a couple of larger dishes). i'm expecting 8-10 people so larger ones will probably be easier to manage.
would like to do a combo of scallops, shrimp and lobster meat. i have lobster stock on hand to use in the sauce but, other than that, was going to wing it for the most part. for veggies i was thinking of using leeks, carrots, oyster mushrooms and peas.
does anyone have any tried and true recipes they could share? also, i definitely do not want to overcook the seafood but assume i can prepare the sauce and throw the seafood in last minute and just heat through in the oven (will use puff pastry dough for the top)
thanks in advance!
Barefoot contessa recently did a lobster pot pie that looked out of this world (and I don;t like Lobster!) look on the foodnetwork for the method, spices etc and you're probably good to go!
Have a look at this:
It's delicious, and easily adapted to your own tastes (for instance I leave out the eggs).
Personally, I think you have a great idea already lined up and the perfect ingredients...my tip (which you probably already know) is just to make sure you have a flavorful bechamel sauce in which to put your seafood being that it's expensive. Some people like to add a shot of cognac to the sauce but it's not really necessary if it's well seasoned....
Two thoughts...
First, consider pre baking the pastry tops cut out to the shape of your serving dish/es on a sheetpan .
Second, pre-bake the pastry in the bottom of the serving dish/es like pie crusts.....and serve the pot pies *Open*. This is how I have had Lobster and Seafood pot pies served in many restaurants in the past.
thanks everyone! both recipes from ina and jamie look fantastic! i'm sure i can combine for a great dish. i might forego pernot just because i'm not sure everyone will dig it in the crowd but white wine should work, i would think
great suggestion about pre-baking the tops for the pies! that would help alleviate my fears about overcooking the seafood
thanks again!
re: jmullen1251
For a more impressive presentation, do not pinch the pastry dough and allow them to rise when baked,,,,,the finished result will be tops 3/4 to an inch thick , and needless to say, very flaky.
re: jmullen1251
Yes, but prepare the ingredients separately and combine at the end. Blanch and shock your vegetables, sea foods and etc. Make your sauce(gallons) and then add the ingredients, and or assemble your dish. You can make everything same day beforehand, or a day ahead...... reheat the sauce and adjust seasonings. then combine with the vegetables and sea foods, Top with the pastry and pop into the oven to warm and hold.

The Best TWSS Stories (All Time)
I was watching mythbusters and they were trying to make a crossbow out of newspaper, underwear elastic, and a plastic food tray. Then they were gonna shoot it into ballistics gel. Adam said, "I would be happy with 2 inches of penetration." TWSS. Then Jamie said, "I wouldn't." TWSS.
2 guys and 4 girls were all out eating one night at a Korean BBQ restaurant. One of the guys has trouble calculating his part of the bill. Then one of the girls said "Geez, it's like he's never eaten out before!" TWSS.
In a pathology today after seeing a rather large, inflamed gall bladder - one girl exclaims "Wow! That thing is huge, there is no way that would ever fit inside my body!". TWSS.
Today in english class, my teacher was giving a description of the new book we're going to read. She said "it turns me off because it's so thick but it's still pretty good." TWSS.
Me and my co-workers were waiting for work orders to come back from a client for a while, and all the comments were sent back at once. While reviewing the notes I said without thinking about it, "It's not that it's hard, it just all came in at once." TWSS
While buying groceries: "I'm just going to wrap your meat so it doesn't mix with the eggs." TWSS
I was eating corn on the cob with my family at dinner, everyone was using the holders that go in the sides of the corn on the cob but my little sister because she was complaining that they were to hard to put in, so she was just eating it with her hands, my mom proceeds to say "would you stop using your hands and just stick the damn thing in!". TWSS.
Me and a group of friends were at a Mexican food restaurant and when the food arrived one of the girls exclaimed "There's too much meat in my taco!" TWSS.
Today, my history teacher was talking about a new computer chair he'd purchased. When one of my classmates asked me how he liked it, he replied, "It's big enough to satisfy me now." TWSS
Talking with a friend about an engineering design issue, he said, "I told him I could work with 5 inches but it would cost about $1,000 more than if he could give me 8 inches." TWSS.
My friend and I were walking to her car after class. She handed me her keys as she was putting her things in the trunk. A little bit later she yelled, "What are you waiting for? Just stick it in already!" TWSS
I was eating lunch with a few friends, they decided to order one large drink and just share it between them with two straws. As one of them was taking a drink, they lifted the straw out of the cup while still sucking on it. The other screamed, "Don't pull it out yet! You're not finished!" TWSS
A friend and I were driving down the road. He said you lost an earring. I then reached down my shirt to see if it had fallen down my shirt. He asked did you find it. Without thinking I replied "it might be in there, but it's so small I don't feel it." TWSS.
During lunch, my friend wanted some water from someone else's water bottle, but didn't want to drink from it, so he said, "just squirt it in my mouth, but make sure you aim, I don't want it to get all over my face." TWSS
One day my friend was eating a huge apple. She cried out in excitement, "Holy sh*t! It's so large and tender! I can barely fit my hands around it!!" TWSS.

First Listen
Every "U Peaking"
- Words: Rebecca Bratburd
- Label: Ounce
Enigmatic East Coast artist Every (who you may remember from a track we posted last year) is gearing up to release a new EP via Chicago label Ounce, and has dropped this tune in our laps ahead of that occasion. "U Peaking" is another syrupy cut from the Rhode Island producer, featuring an array of synths and a vivid spectrum of percussion and drum sounds in its effervescent mix. It may not be obvious at first, but Every recorded all of his Drive South EP on a farm in North Carolina. Look for the rest of this record to drop in the weeks ahead.

Only some of Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare's new tech sounds cool
In a lovingly overproduced developer diary, a couple of Sledgehammer bros ran down the exciting new gear in Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, including this year's "game-changer," the exo-skeleton, and hyped some of their other groundbreaking innovations such as... as laser. If nothing else, there was an opening for a Mountain Dew joke.

Just figured out my temp readings have been off by about 10 degrees so I was mashing lower that I thought. I was at like 140 rather than 154. It has been about an hour. What should I do?
What are you mashing in?
I would get an accurate thermometer for the next brew...
I think most of the starches will have been extracted already. You could try applying heat, or pouring in some hot water to get it to your actual mash temp goal. Hold it at the higher temp for an hour, if possible, before sparging.
What were you using for a thermometer?
Worst case, your brew will finish with a low FG and have very little body to it. If you really wanted to have a more medium body, then you can either try to rescue this mash, or just say F it and start over. All depends on if you have more grain on hand to do it again, or not...
I have a thermapen but last weekend it started giving me irradict readings and then it seemed normal again. It was one of the old ones that aren't splash proof. I ordered a a new style to use for brewing that was splash proof and it was suppose to be here today but do to a blizzard it was delayed. I thought my other one was working fine but apparently I was wrong.
That sucks... I'm looking at getting a new thermometer soon too... I want one that has a long enough probe that I can get deeper readings of both the mash and as I'm heating up the mash/sparge water. I'm limited to about 5" depth right now.
So for this brew, you can either increase the temps, and see what you get, or mash again with some fresh grain if you have enough on hand... One of the reasons I'm liking having base malt on hand, and enough other grains to make most of what I like to... I can brew at almost any time now. Also means If I mess something up really badly, I can just mill some more grain and start over again.
I am using a cooler for a mash tun. The whole issue was my thermometer that was giving me false high readings. I think it got damp last brew session but I figured it dried out and was working properly. My plan was to use it only for cooking again and then use the new thermapen for brewing but that got hosed up too. I added my first sparge round to the mash and got the temp up to 155.
Yeah, what ARE you brewing???
It is the fat squirrel clone.

Our Spotlight this week is on author Mickey J. Corrigan and her latest offering, Songs Of The Maniacs and there are giveaways!
What if You No Longer Know Who You Are?
Mickey J. Corrigan
When I wrote Songs of the Maniacs a few years ago, I was trying to decide if I wanted to continue to be a writer. Who was I as a writer and what did it matter? My mood was dark (obviously), but I came upon a cool idea: What would happen if I let my writer brain grapple with the issue instead of my logic brain? In other words, stop thinking and start writing.
So I let the story inside me trickle out. I set it in a fictional world—somewhere near me, sometime in the near future—in which EVERYONE seemed to be losing their identities. Where who are you was being replaced by who are you becoming?
What a ride that was. I had no idea where I was headed or what it all meant, but I was determined to write without judgment and see what came out on the page. If I got off my own case, what kind of story would I tell myself?
The results surprised me. If you read the story (which has now been through the usual multiple revisions but still maintains the same twisted plotline), you can watch as a woman loses her identity, then becomes someone else.
Wow. A psychiatrist would have a field day with this one, should I try to explain how the contents had something to do with my own rite of passage.Finding an interested publisher took me on another journey, one that lasted more than four years. But along the way, I found an agent, a terrific writing partner, a supportive writing group, and myself. And yes, I am still a writer.
Mickey J. Corrigan lives and writes and gets into trouble in South Florida. She publishes with pulpy presses with names like Breathless, Champagne and Bottom Drawer. Recent books include the edgy novellas in The Hard Stuff series (Whiskey Sour Noir, Vodka Warrior, Tequila Dirty); and the thriller Sugar Babies.

Songs of the Maniacs
Mickey J. Corrigan
When the real you is someone you don't know, then you sing the songs of the maniacs.
From her office at a mental health institute outside what appears to be Miami, a troubled young woman counsels deeply disturbed clients while coping with her own heightening concerns. These include frightening consciousness lapses, violent memories of a high school sexual relationship, a menacing stalker, and an annoyingly arousing visitor who may or may not be insane. All this on a single stormy day at a time when a new mental health disorder has become epidemic and is threatening to distort memory and identity, unmooring the validity of reality itself.
The young woman's search for illumination becomes an eerie struggle, as she attempts to understand her past, present, and true self. The hypnotic pull of the story lies in the mystery of the storyteller herself and her murky, uneasy sense of doom. A seductive and chilling novella, Songs of the Maniacs relies on clear prose and uncluttered imagery to delineate a fascinating descent into the abyss beneath the lush tropical surfaces of contemporary American paradise.

Hi: 8° Lo:6°
By Ian Dipple Saturday 15 December 2012 Updated: 15/12 00:50
MOTORISTS are continuing to ignore the dangers of drink driving as more than 70 have already been caught over the limit while behind the wheel since the start of December.
West Mercia Safer Roads Partnership say its annual warning is going unheeded despite a big publicity campaign and increased roadside checks by police.
The month-long campaign began on December 1 and so far a total of 74 people have been arrested across West Mercia and Warwickshire for being under the influence of drink or drugs. Last year's campaign saw 203 people caught drink or drug driving across West Mercia alone and were up for the first time in five years, with the majority caught the morning after a night out.
This year's campaign challenges drivers to ensure they know what the limit is and the consequences of drink and drug driving.
Vicki Bristow, communications manager for West Mercia Safer Roads Partnership, said: "There are still people out there who feel they can gamble with drinking and driving and think they know how much the limit is but the simple fact is, there is only one way of being sure that you are safe to drive and that is not to drink at all."

Auctioning is the default method of allocating allowances within the EU emissions trading system (EU ETS). This means that businesses have to buy an increasing proportion of allowances through auctions. In 2013 over 40% of all allowances will be auctioned, and the ETS legislation sets the goal of phasing out free allocation completely by 2027. Auctioning is the most transparent allocation method and puts into practice the principle that the polluter should pay.
Two auction platforms are already in place. The European Energy Exchange (EEX) in Leipzig is the common platform for the large majority of countries participating in the EU ETS. EEX also acts as Germany's auction platform. The second auction platform is ICE Futures Europe (ICE) in London, which acts as the United Kingdom's platform.
An open, transparent, harmonised and non-discriminatory process
The auctioning of allowances is governed by the EU ETS Auctioning Regulation. This covers the timing, administration and other aspects of auctioning to ensure it is conducted in an open, transparent, harmonised and non-discriminatory manner. The Auctioning Regulation seeks to put into practice a number of criteria which the revised EU ETS Directive states auctions must meet, such as predictability, cost-efficiency, fair access to auctions and simultaneous access to relevant information for all operators.
Transitional free allocation for power generators in eight Member States to help modernise production
For the power generation sector, the rule is that operators no longer receive any free allowances but have to buy them. The experience of the first two trading periods shows that power generators have been able to pass on the notional cost of allowances to customers even when they received them for free.
However, eight of the Member States which have joined the EU since 2004 - Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland and Romania - have made use of a derogation (under Article 10c of the revised EU ETS Directive) which allows them to give a decreasing number of free allowances to existing power plants for a transitional period until 2019. Latvia and Malta were also eligible to use this derogation but chose not to.
The European Commission has taken positive decisions on all of the applications received. It set out how it would assess such requests in a 'derogation package' adopted in March 2011 which can be found under the Documentation tab at the top of this page.
These derogations are limited in terms of:
- Time: free allocation must stop by 2020 at the latest;
- Scope: only installations that started to generate electricity before 31 December 2008, or for which the investment process was "physically initiated" by that date, are eligible to receive free allowances;
- Quantity: the Directive determines a maximum quantity of free allowances that can be granted in 2013, and this has to decrease progressively in the following years to reach zero in 2020.
In return for transitional free allocation, the eight Member States will undertake national plans to modernise their electricity sectors and diversify their energy mix through investments worth at least as much as the value of the free allowances.
For further information on transitional free allocation to power generators, see Frequently Asked Questions.
Auctioning share to rise each year
In sectors other than power generation, the transition to auctioning is taking place progressively. Manufacturing industry will receive 80% of its allowances free of charge in 2013 but this will decrease annually to 30% in 2020. Allowances not allocated for free will be auctioned. In the aviation sector, however, only 15% of aviation allowances will be auctioned over the whole 2013-2020 period.
Given the significant weight of power generation in the EU ETS, and even with partial free allocation in the eight member states, more than 40% of all allowances will be auctioned in 2013 and this share will rise in the coming years.
Latest information on the exact amounts to be auctioned can be found on the websites of the auction platforms; see also the first two questions and answers on the FAQ-page.
Member States' shares in the auctioning volume
Eighty-eight per cent of the allowances to be auctioned are distributed to the EU Member States on the basis of their share of verified emissions from EU ETS installations in 2005. Ten per cent are allocated to the least wealthy EU member states as an additional source of revenue to help them invest in reducing the carbon intensity of their economies and adapting to climate change.
The remaining 2% is given as a 'Kyoto bonus' to nine EU member states which by 2005 had reduced their greenhouse gas emissions by at least 20% of levels in their Kyoto Protocol base year or period. These are Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Slovakia.
The three EEA-EFTA countries will also auction limited amounts of allowances.
Auctions are held by auction platforms appointed by national governments but each auction is open to buyers from anywhere in the EU and the EEA-EFTA.
At least half of auctioning revenues used to combat climate change
The revised EU ETS Directive stipulates that at least half of the revenues from the auctioning of general allowances should be used to combat climate change in Europe or other countries. Member States are obliged to inform the Commission of how they use the revenues.
Common auction platform
The Auctioning Regulation provides for the Member States and the Commission to procure jointly a common platform to auction emission allowances on behalf of the Member States.
This is expected to be the most cost-efficient approach for Member States and bidders alike. The Commission considers that a common platform also best ensures respect of the principles of non-discrimination, transparency and simplicity, provides the best guarantees for full, fair and equitable access to small and medium sized enterprises covered by the EU ETS and small emitters, and best minimises the risk of market abuse.
Following a competitive tender procedure carried out under a joint procurement agreement(485 kB) , the Commission and 24 Member States appointed the EEX as the transitional common auction platform for these Member States. Following its accession, Croatia joined the contract with EEX. The three EEA-EFTA states will also contract EEX for the auctioning of their allowances.
The transitional common auction platform will be succeeded by a common auction platform, to be appointed by tender procedure carried out under a joint procurement agreement by the Commission and the 25 participating Member States.
On 21 June 2014 the Commission published a prior information notice announcing the upcoming tender procedure for selection of a common auction platform. The notice provides inter alia indications on the eligibility requirements.
On 1 November 2014 the Commission published a restricted call for a competitive dialogue procedure for the appointment of the second common auction platform. The notice, as well as any further tender documents, are published on the call page.
Opt-out auction platforms for Germany, Poland, UK
Member States are entitled to opt out of the common platform and appoint their 'own' auction platform. Germany, Poland and the United Kingdom have decided to do so.
Germany has appointed the EEX as its auction platform. The UK has appointed ICE Futures Europe (ICE) in London as its auction platform. These appointments have been approved through amendments to the Auctioning Regulation following verification by the Commission that the platforms satisfy the rules of the Regulation and the objectives of the ETS Directive.
In the absence of an opt-out auction platform having been listed, Poland has contracted EEX to auction on its behalf.
Auction monitor
The Commission and all Member States also have a joint procurement agreement for appointing an auction monitor(441 kB) to monitor and report on the auctions conducted on all platforms as set out in Article 25 of the Auctioning Regulation.
Two procurement procedures were launched in 2012 and 2013 respectively, but the contract could not be awarded. More information can be found on the contracts and grants webpage. The Commission and the Member States are currently assessing their options.
Joint procurement procedures
The joint procurement agreements between the Commission and the Member States lay down the rules under which they conduct the joint procurement procedures. The procedures are conducted in line with the rules in the Financial Regulation, the standard legal framework for procurement procedures carried out by the Commission.
To ensure maximum transparency, equal treatment and allow for the broadest competition, draft tender documents can be found under the Documentation tab at the top of this page. For third parties, the Commission is the sole point of contact for information concerning the joint procurement procedures. All relevant information will be given in due time and in full respect of the principle of non-discriminatory access to information. See the Commission's information note (234 kB) on this matter.
Contract Notices are always published on Tender Electronic Daily (TED), the electronic version of the supplement S to the Official Journal of the European Union. Full tender documents will be made available in due time.
Information relevant for candidate auction platforms and potential participants in the auctions
Member States may have to make changes to their national laws to implement certain articles of the Auctioning Regulation to make it possible for potential candidates to participate in the joint procurement procedure for the appointment of the common platform and perform the resulting contract.
Similarly, Member States may have to make changes to their national laws to allow certain categories of companies to apply for admission to bid in the auctions or to allow certain categories of companies to bid on behalf of clients.
Information on the implementation of such provisions by Member States is available under the Documentation tab at the top of this page.

Holding it in front of you,
Watching the blood dripping
through my hands it melts
and my blood tears shed,
You've stained my eyes

Each one of my tear

Each drop of my blood
will drown you in a flood
But now I hate you

and I will always hate you
until I die
So wait for me
when I am dead,
I will do something

Leaving my bloody heart on your bed.

Burke is charged with 13 felonies in connection with the caucus scandal investigation. Prosecutors say Burke used state workers to run 2002 campaign for attorney general.
Burkes attorneys say the law he's being charged under is too vague.
The Supreme Court says it won't hear that challenge; the court didn't offer a reason why.
