I can sort of validate what was said about bias. I have served twice. Right before the voir dire one of the attorneys read off a list of expert witnesses he expected to call to see if any of the potential jurors had any type of relationship with them. I raised my hand at three of the names, each were doctors and each…

If you're going to buy a loose stone and have it set you might want to consider paying a little more for a platinum setting. Platinum is less likely to bend and deform than gold. You're counting on four small prongs to hold on to something that can cost as much as a luxury edition automobile (or house, depending on…

Many, many years ago I was, by trade, a hypnotist. Yep, weird profession but it had its moments. Needless to say I was exposed to a lot of things while training. Some of it provable science, some not so much. Back then there was much experimentation with observing eye movement while accessing memory. Some thought that…

I make several prep packs for the week. I wash and chop up veggies and slice up meats. These go in bags that I keep in the fridge. When it comes time to cook I just grab a pack this or that and have at it. This works especially well for Asian dishes. In the time it takes for the rice cooker to finish I can bang out…

Well, I applaud you for your attitude though I am not in the same camp. Some years ago I was in an accident that broke my back. Surgeons did what they could to keep it from getting worse but nothing can reduce the pain. Even the strongest narcotics do little to scratch the surface.

Making the change is like teaching an old dog new tricks. There is some discussion of this in the penmanship section of the Fountain Pen Network

Me too. If you're gonna shell out for good steel, like the Global Cutlery shown in the photo, you'll take steps to keep it safe. I keep all of my knives on a mag strip except for my sashimi knife. That one stays in its box well out of the way of anyone's reach as even a careless glance will slice a digit off.

I don't think one would suffer much in the way of wear and tear by simply increasing reps with a lower weight.

That's a good point. Body builders, while strong, do not rule the roost when it comes to overall strength. That honor falls upon "power lifters". These are your competition lifters who have less regard for what they look like than what they can lift. Power lifters generally work with even higher weights and fewer…

How right you are. The title smacks of promise but the information is false. As a former body builder I can weigh in (pun totally intended).

I wouldn't call it pathetic as I do it myself. I have never timed it but it does take mere seconds although definitely more than two. Also, contary to the opinion expressed in the article, it works for button downs too. Rarely do I fold shirts aside for the sake of travel but when I do I do it fast!

I think that the vast majority of people go through life without seriously injuring another. Being right does not change my feelings. Would I do it again? If necessary yes.

Says the guy who has to live with regrets over harm done to another. And, I was not the one who pulled the knife.

This article seems a little out of sorts in contrast to most lh articles. That said, thank you for the feature. My knife has a "wave shaped feature" but I didn't know what it until was now.

There is another method. Soak the meat in a solution of baking soda and water for 30 minutes. I preslice the meat before soaking. Rinse well and stir fry. This works exceptionally well with chicken breast for dishes like cashew chicken. The cooked pieces are airy, moist and silky in texture.

Total agreement.

Don't hurry to get where I am. Where I am is having my doctor grouse at me for eating the steak!

Demandprogress.org has done a splendid job of making it easy for people to contact their legislators.

I have indeed and to tell you the truth it seemed disrespectful to the steak. But, I suppose it begins with the steak itself. A good dry aged steak needs little in the way of preparation. Fire does it for me.

Yes it does, and it is an important part of the technique. Ziplock bags or seal-a-meal set ups don't generate the negative pressure of pro units.
