In a post last week complaining about Robin's dull recipes, I completely dissed her use of roasted red peppers and remarked that I detest pimentos. I forgot that there is one place that I do find them acceptable; and that's in the center of olives to be used in Chicken Marbella – the now classic chicken, prune and caper recipe from the original Silver Palate Cookbook. They don't specifically say

A few weeks ago I was over at Nah Right and was checking out the comment section in response to Jay-Z dropping the Kanye West produced Jockin' Jay-Z.Besides the initial disappointment that the community had no idea where the sample originated ("Dumb Girl", Run-DMC - dummies), it got me thinking something bigger. The sample in question goes: "I seen you jockin' J.C. because he got a Mercedes." The

We went out to dinner last weekend with my ex-husband, who was up visiting for the weekend with a friend (and the friend’s gf).  When the waitress brought our waters, I immediately scooped the lemons out of the glasses of water of mine & my kids and put them on the table.  As per his usual, my ex looked at me like I was nuts. I explained to him that there’s all sorts of bacteria on them.

I used to really like Girardin reds. Sue me. Palates change. Preferences change. Etc. So I was in the mood for some kindling and popped open the 1999 Vincent Girardin Pommard 1er Cru "Rugiens" which is one of my all time favorite vineyards in Burgundy. This had a nose of dark black fruits with some damson red fruits underneath but was a slight bit unyielding. After much swirling some soil-inflecte

Cell phone use in schools has dramatically changed since 911. When I started out as an administrator pagers were forbidden in school because they were associated with drug trafficking. If a student didn’t want to turn over their pager it was considered a fourth degree disorderly conduct offense, and the principal could file a police report. I don’t believe that it is a state policy that cell p

One cannot help wondering if this fascination/appreciation of the eighties has gone a little too far, when a band records a cover version of a Shakin’ Stevens track? However the music/sound of Swedish duo Cloetta Paris has an almost tongue-in-check novelty to it, so perhaps (hopefully) their cover version isn't meant to be taken too seriously? If you happen to be so fortunate to no longer being

I had a student come in and tell me she got 95% on an English test at School. She seemed quite proud. My first response was: What happened to the other 5%?? She said she had made 2 careless mistakes. I knew that HAD to be the case since my lesson and her skill is far above her J.H. English course.For a half a second I felt like I should praise her, but that thought quickly exited my mind. Some kids are self motivators while the rest of us need to be tied to the "whipping post" and be given clear instructions and a hard push to reach our full potential.Welcome to the Whipping Post ;)

Any movie fan can recognize "product placement" when he sees it. There's nothing like a close-up of your favorite actor, right in the middle of a scene, picking up a can of Coke or his favorite bag of chips to make you flashback to the last television commercial you saw. That kind of thing is extremely distracting and often ruins the effect of a scene. But I never thought we would see the

Sure. You can use the ISO 7185 "level 0" Pascal with the following omissions: 1. Do not use procedure or function parameters. These have different syntax in ISO 7185 and Delphi. 2. Do not use intraprocedural gotos (gotos that leave the current procedure or function). If you need a deep nested bailout to a higher level procedure, try setting an error variable and checking that after each procedure/function call that might have an error, then skipping either out of the routine, or to the goto point. 3. Do not use file buffer handling (such as f^ accesses, where f is a file), nor the built in routines "get" and "put". Basically, this just means you cannot use the lookahead buffering that ISO 7185 Pascal provides. 4. Do not size your variant records with "new". Delphi knows about varia

Don't know if you are abreast with the sporting news, but just in case you're not... The Red Sox are back in the World Series as of tonight.

The last 3 months have been a nightmare for anyone with a Made in China sticker on their goods, and for China as a whole. Through this process, one of the things I keep coming back to is “what level of product failure is acceptable”. For consumers, the first response is none. No product failures should be accepted. that 1 is too many…. but is that reasonable? Is it economical? or have consumers gone a bit overboard? In debating this, there are three examples that have particularly bothered me, or at least have led me to ask this question: 1) FTS/ Hongce Tires - One of the first cases to hit the press, this story received a lot of attentention early on. Through press accounts, of the 450,000 or so tires imported, 2 tires failed. a failure rate of .0004%. 2) Mattel - Probably the most covered of all the recalls, Mattel has announced 3 recalls this year of more than 20 million toys across multiple categories. 20 million toys is a lot of toys, and according to a WS

If you have been wondering if dating is different after dating then you might be happy to know that there's no definite yes or no to this question, simply because there are many facets to dating and in some respects dating after the age of 40 is different, and yet on some levels it's the same as dating at a younger age. It also depends on the circumstances of why you're dating at that age. There are many possible reasons for anyone to be dating at 40 or at any age for that matter. If you find yourself dating because of a recent break-up, especially of a long-term relationship, then you will suffer from the same bruised ego that a younger person would. The difference will be that at 40, you will be conscious that there are many more younger people on the dating scene, and will feel that you have less chance of finding someone. This isn't the reality of the situation, but it's the perceived reality that many older people new to the dating scene believe. The simple reality is that th

{summary} That was me a whole lot of years ago.  I posted this photo because of the Fraulein commented on plastic crib bumpers which made me remember that I, er, had one of those. As you can also see from the picture, I’m already standing yet the handy-dandy Raggedy Ann & Andy mobile has not been taken down.  I’m also in arm’s reach of wodden wall art which I could have taken off the wall and beat myself about the head and neck with.  I could have then taken the nail from the wall from which the art had been hanging and pierced myself.  Then I could have grabbed that air freshener and eaten it.  Then, if I was feeling quite spry, I could have grabbed that curtain and used it to either rappel down the side of the crib or else strangle myself. And because I’m typing this from my Durham, NC home and not from Heaven, Sto-vo-kor, or some other place, I am obviously still alive. By contemporary standards of baby safety, I should hav

Misandry. You may have never even heard this word before, yet it is everywhere. The Free Dictionary defines it simply as hatred of men. Growing up as a male in America, I've been made aware of what is considered sexism towards women. I have been taught throughout the entire process of growing up, and even into adult life, that anything I could say or do that is hateful or degrading to women is WRONG for me to say. I have been taught this even if I have no natural inclination towards hate. For example, respectable male news anchors would never degrade a woman's private parts on any respectable TV news show, like, for example, The Today Show. Why is it then, that hardly anyone made a fuss when Today Show host Katie Couric asked a jilted bride during an interview "have you considered castration as an option?". Do you think a male anchor who asked "have you considered ripping her uterus out as an option?" would still have his job the next day? Misandry doesn't end with Katie Couric and

Question :I see in korean dramas that teachers and parents hit boys in the face. Is it an acceptable practice? or just a drama thing to catch young audiencies? Answer : Yes, It was kind of acceptable. Why? I know hitting someone is not acceptable, no matter who they are.They hit a boy not because they hate them but because they care about them and want them to be the best. If they don't care about boys, they don't have to do anything to them. That is kind of why. But, today? There is somefunny movie clip that can explain why. The answer is in this video. via[Koreainside]Tags: korea, korea, culture, teacher, parent, hitting, boy, child

I could not believe what I was learning: The descendants of Native Americans who once owned slaves and later under a federal treaty and other legalities, made the slaves and their descendants citizens in the Cherokee Nation, were stripping them of their rights. The audacity! The racism! The greed! See how the official Cherokee newspaper, The Phoenix, reported this: http://www.cherokeephoenix.org/News/News.aspx?StoryID=2480The New York Times explains some of the background to this in a Mar. 8 editorial (www.nytimes.com):“This bitter dispute dates to the treaties of 1866, when the Cherokee, Seminole and Creek agreed to admit their former slaves as tribal members in return for recognition as sovereign nations. The tribes fought black membership from the start — even though many of the former slaves were products of mixed black and Indian marriages.“The federal courts repeatedly upheld the treaties. But the federal government fanned the flames when a government commission set out in

Willett Elementary School in Massachusetts has banned tag, touch football and any other “unsupervised chase game” during recess due to concerns over injury and liability. Principal Gaylene Heppe approved the ban, saying that recess is a time when accidents can happen. This comes a few years after the district criticized dodgeball for being “exclusionary and dnagerous.” Willett is not the only school to have done this: Elementary schools in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Spokane, Washington, also recently banned tag during recess. A suburban Charleston, South Carolina, school outlawed all unsupervised contact sports. Some parents appreciated the school’s concern for their children’s safety while others felt that the school was micromanaging the students’ lives. School bans tag, other chase games (CNN)

The college professor had just finished explaining an important research project to his class. He emphasized that this paper was an absolute requirement for passing his class, and that there would be only two acceptable excuses for being late. Those were a medically certifiable illness or a death in the student's immediate family. A smart ass student in the back of the classroom waved his hand and spoke up. "But what about extreme sexual exhaustion, professor?" As you would expect, the class exploded in laughter. When the students had finally settled down, the professor froze the young man with a glaring look. "Well," he responded, "I guess you'll just have to learn to write with your other hand."

Judging which is acceptableThere are some - even many Catholics, poorly instructed in their faith, who believe that all judging is wrong. These Catholics apparently believe that love of enemies means condoning vice and sin. In the words of Dr. Germain Grisez, one of the finest moral theologians of our time, "It might seem to follow that love must accept everyone, even enemies, just as they are, and to affirm them even in the error or sin which is present in them. But the law of love does not require indiscriminate affirmation of everything about other persons (see Saint Thomas Aquinas, S.t., 2-2, q.34, a.3). One's love must be like Jesus'. He loves sinners and brings them into communion with himself in order to overcome their error and sin. When the scribes and pharisees bring a woman caught in adultery to Jesus, he not only saves her from being stoned to death but warns her not to sin again (see John 8:3-11). In a true sense, Jesus is not judgmental, he sets aside the legalistic men

If you haven't figured it out yet, the Estrogen family is a bit on the dimented side. We take everyday life and "kick it up a notch" to avoid getting bored. We're the type of family that will sneak a fart machine into Chefboy's pocket on the way to Walmart, wait until we're in the middle of a crowded aisle, then hit the little "fart" button. Lots of fun there. When I'm shopping alone with my man, I rarely leave a store without doing something to him. For example, I might make the following or similar statement: "Honey, don't forget your Preparation H. I'd hate for you to leave without it."   Estrogen Jr's been taking part in our craziness since she was about two. Her favorite prank at that time was to wait until Daddy went into the backyard and lock all the doors. Then she'd run and hide. If Chefboy was lucky, I'd be within earshot so I could let him in. If not, he'd be climbing the fence to go around front--that's if Estrogen Jr. didn't lock up the front as well. What ca
