All Those Kitchen Gadgets, but a Sharp Knife Just Might Do
By PENELOPE GREEN, New York Times
NEW YORK — Berries are hot this year, Scott Goldsmith was saying on a recent rain-flecked Friday, brandishing a bright red plastic, wagon wheel-shaped gizmo called a PushBerry, which aims to hull and slice your strawberries in one go.
Avocados, still hot, he added, gesturing at the Flexicado and the Avoquado — two of the many slicers and pitters for sale in his store, all rendered in acid green plastic (designers of kitchen gadgets seem to go in for biomimicry). As for tenacious kale, this decade's celebrity green, its grooming aids now include the Looseleaf and the Swiftstrip, otherwise known as kale leaf strippers, the solution to a problem you might not know you had.
Goldsmith, 61, is the third-generation owner of S. Feldman Housewares — a glittering bazaar on Manhattan's Upper East Side — and an impresario of kitchen gadgetry. His shelves were bursting with esoterica like the billowy yellow silicone Food Pod (a combination steamer and colander that looks like vegetation imagined by the production designers of "Star Trek," $14.99); the SpreadTHAT titanium butter knife ("It's pretty cool," Goldsmith said. "It uses the heat of your hands. I don't eat much butter, but I don't discriminate," $19.95); onion goggles ($19.95); and sequined aprons ($120) that were a big hit last Christmas.
How do you wash the aprons? "I have no idea," he said.
Goldsmith's long retail career spans decades of gadgetry — including truffle shavers and cherry pitters, Salad Shooters and spiralizers — and traces a history of ingenuity, optimism and sheer whimsy. If the invention of defoliating devices for cruciferous vegetables causes you to think the makers of kitchen gadgets have finally and collectively lost their minds, Goldsmith will remind you that his store has been in business since 1929.
"Between you and me," he said, "most of these things you can do with a knife."
To an industrial designer, the universe of possible kitchen tools is infinite. Very few objects would not benefit from a good rethinking, said Tucker Viemeister, a founder of Smart Design, among other companies, who has reimagined items as complex as a toaster, and as simple as a potato peeler.
In 1990, when Smart Design's Oxo Good Grip peeler hit the market, with its fat, comfy rubber handle and fixed blade, it was a kind of revolution. "On the one hand, designers are really optimistic because they think they can make things better," he said. "On the other hand, we think everything is wrong or broken."
In "Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat" (2012), Bee Wilson, the English food writer, explored how technology, social mores and food fashions have long collided to create a pageantry of gizmos.
New technologies rendered entire categories obsolete; when stoves replaced the open hearth, the hasteners, spits, spit jacks and spit dogs that attended them vanished. Technology has altered the meal itself. After the Cuisinart, we were swimming in purées, a situation Wilson said had contributed to the robust artisanal fare of today, prized because "someone's hand had been tired out making it."
As she wrote, "the birth of a new gadget often gives rise to zealous overuse, until the novelty wears off."
She continued, "To the woman who has just acquired an electric blender, the whole world looks like soup."
In terms of pure function, Wilson said recently, "very few new gadgets are any improvement on a sharp knife, a good source of heat and a dexterous pair of hands."
"But they reflect our obsessions and wants at any given time," she added. "The Victorians had slaw cutters, which most of us today manage without, because shredded cabbage is not such a thing. The person who owns a kale stripper is confirming to themselves that kale is a big part of his or her life."
A decade ago, "half the items for sale in cookware shops seemed to be cupcake-related," she said.
"But now we have moved on. Veganism seems to be where much of our cooking desire has moved, hence the incredible success of the spiralizer. When they started appearing a couple of years ago, I felt that spiralizers were destined for immediate obsolescence, but I was completely wrong. Maybe it's because of low-carb diets or maybe it's the rise of #plantbased on Instagram, but it turns out that the ability to turn a beet or zucchini into something resembling telephone wire speaks to more people than I ever knew."
Christopher Kimball, the determinedly skeptical cooking program host and co-founder of two food networks based in Boston, America's Test Kitchen and Milk Street, identified three categories of kitchen gadgets: Completely Idiotic Useless Objects, Things That Are Not Worth the Storage Space, and Things That Seem Practical But You Could Actually Do Better With a Knife.
"A well-designed tool is immensely valuable," Kimball said. "But for the specialty items you're only going to use once a month, how much more work is it not to use it?"
Yet Kimball is not immune to the siren songs of some gizmos. A few years ago, at the International Home and Housewares Show, the food world's annual gadgetfest held each March in Chicago, Kimball found himself unexpectedly moved by the BeepEgg, an adorable egg-shaped timer you boil with your eggs. When they have reached the desired degree of doneness — soft, hard or in between — BeepEgg plays a tune (like "Killing Me Softly" for soft boiled).
Kimball also acknowledged having bought every iteration of egg poacher over the years, even though, as he said, "at the end of the day, it actually isn't that hard to cook an egg."
In 2016, the last year for which sales figures are available, kitchen tools and accessories represented more than 13 percent of the total housewares pie, which was $87.1 billion, according to the International Housewares Association State of the Industry Report, a 6 percent increase over 2015. Howard Chiu, an engineer who worked in robotics and aerospace, quit his day job 2 1/2 years ago when his invention was a finalist for the Chicago show's innovation award.
Chiu is the man behind the SpreadTHAT, an idea that was inspired by watching his children flay their toast while trying to spread cold butter.
Borrowing from his background, he took conducting tubes and coated them with titanium to make a device you could warm with the heat of your hands. SpreadTHAT sold well enough its first year that Chiu has built a brand around its principles (with products like a gravy warmer, HeatTHAT; an ice cream scooper, ScoopTHAT; a meat thawer, ThawTHAT; and so forth).
Ten years ago, Kraigh and Anna Stewart were designing in the furniture industry when they had their "aha" moment. Anna Stewart was in the middle of making her grandmother's recipe for stuffed chicken breasts but didn't have any string or toothpicks. She wondered, Why isn't there something reusable you can tie food up with? "Silicone had been around for ages," Kraigh Stewart said, "but we were the first to use it inside a pan." They designed their Food Loops (packets of silicone trussing string) in psychedelic hues — "fuchsenta" is what they called their first iteration in hot pink — so you would see them, and not toss them into the trash.
"We sold half a million that first year," Kraigh Stewart said. Like Chiu, the Stewarts quit their jobs and started a company, Fusionbrands, from that first product. The very particular looking Food Pod at Feldman's is their handiwork (inspired by sea urchins, Kraigh Stewart said) as is the EggXactPeel, a slim yellow plastic shell cracker and peeler that was a finalist for an innovation award at this year's housewares show.
Amanda Hesser, the food writer and co-founder and chief executive of Food52, the kitchen and home website, is continually evaluating products like these as her company develops its own for sale. She is an expert on obsolescence, a gimlet-eyed judge of what might have legs. But even Hesser has a misfit drawer in her kitchen, a mini-museum of the gadgetry of yore. Her particular affliction is melon ballers, including one model with a pea-size scoop (tantalizing for "The Borrowers," perhaps, but otherwise useless). She also has an egg topper, which slices off the caps of eggs with Gallic precision, a butter curler and a shrimp deveiner.
Despite a soft spot for such arcana, Hesser is not tempted by certain new trends.
"Once you go down the road of having a kale leaf stripper," she said, "where do you draw the line? This is something we talk a lot about in our reviews. With kitchen manufacturers, there is this tendency to get so detailed and so tailored with their products, everyone would need 5,000-square-foot kitchens. Not to mention you're missing out on the pleasure of ripping kale off its stem. You're letting the tool have all the fun." Be wary of the rush to judgment, said Cheryl Mendelson, the essayist and novelist. "One person's useless gadget often turns out to be the meaning of another's life, and my pastry blender was pressed on me with fervent affection by someone who couldn't live without it. I gave it up after one try." Mendelson is the author of "Home Comforts: The Art and Science of Keeping House," a passionate guide for the turn of the millennium that was a publishing sensation — all 896 pages — when it landed in 1999.
The book was notable for its exhaustive rigor — Mendelson, who is also a lawyer, teaches philosophy at Barnard College — but it also showcased her abiding love of cooking. As it happened, she had purged her drawers recently, and some curious items remained: the aforementioned pastry blender, a cherry pitter, two garlic presses, a toast rack and a pasta noodle slicer.
Mendelson said she had once imagined herself as the sort of person who deployed a toast rack at her family breakfast table and made her own pasta. It was these fantasies — these ideas of selfhood — that stayed their execution, she said.
All of which reminded Mendelson of a William James joke. Apparently there are two.
"This is the funny one," she said. "James liked to say that if a philosophical theory was useless, if it didn't do any work in the philosophical sense, it brought to mind the story of the old Irishman who was being carried to a funeral in a broken sedan chair. Because the chair had no floor, the old man had to run along inside it. 'Faith,' the man says, 'if it weren't for the honor of the thing, I might as well walk.'"
There is honor in a pasta slicer, Mendelson added, and so attention must be paid.

Of Donald Modi & Narendra Trump
A. G. NOORANI
Prime Minister Narendra Modi with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House on June 27. Photo: PTI
The affinities between Trump and Modi are striking, but none of them bodes well for democracy.
NO two persons are exactly alike. But Narendra Modi and Donald Trump resemble each other to such a degree that one might as well call them Donald Modi and Narendra Trump. The affinities are striking in their range and depth; and they are disturbing in their potentiality for harm to the national good. This comes out in sharp relief as one lists their traits one by one.
1. A monumental ego is the most conspicuous quality which Narendrabhai shares with Donaldbhai. From it follow most others.
2. Demand of loyalty. Trump was clumsy enough to sack the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Director James Comey because he failed to extract from him a pledge of loyalty; itself a highly improper demand. Modi, unable to fire heads of statutory bodies, hand-picked loyalists in advance for sensitive posts. He planted his man Friday Amit Shah as party chief and set up a cabal of fawning Ministers. Never before was the country treated to a daily dose of Ministers praising their chief. Sushma Swaraj stooped so low as to proclaim that Jawaharlal Nehru merely promoted his own image while Modi raised the prestige of the nation. To think that this is the man who sits on the chair on which Jawaharlal Nehru once sat. Not to be outdone by Sushma Swaraj, Rajnath Singh rushed to praise Modi's Independence Day speech the very next day ("patterns emerging from his address, which reflect his concept of governance almost like mantras"); Ravi Shankar Prasad's tributes to his master are as regular as they are sickeningly fulsome. As with Trump's men, Modi's stooges suffer from acute insecurity.
3. Both revel in demagogy, laced with fierce personal attacks on opponents and critics. They believe in Balfour's dictum—speak often and speak for long; and you will acquire the contempt for his audience which every bore has.
4. Both are coarse and crassly vulgar, in their strict dictionary meaning. They do not care for censure. Modi set the tone with his speeches in Gujarat.
5. Both spread group hate with abandon.
6. Both are exclusivist ideologues owning a narrow world view and a narrow concept of nationalism. They regard themselves as the very personifications of their visions.
7. Insecure as they themselves are, Trump and Modi conduct their pantomimes with obedient advisers. Professionalism is scorned. Uneducated, except in the formal sense, the duo is also uneducable as well. They will not grow.
8. Egotism breeds ambition. Each, in his own style, seeks to recast the polity anew.
9. But neither cares to be specific about his programme. If reading brings pain to the lips, reflection gives a headache.
10. Flamboyance in style and escapist vagueness on substance. Slogans pass for policy statements: America First and Sab ka Saath, Sab ka Vikas; Modi fears parliamentary debates and press conferences. He dislikes questions and abhors precision. So does Trump.
Such persons find institutions stifling. Trump attacks the United States Congress; Modi plants favourites as heads of cultural and educational bodies in order to bend them to his will.
11. To be sure, the two adore business and will go all out to make life easier for Big Business, for favourites in particular.
12. You know the club bore or the dinner party pest who tells any who gives him an ear, "I may not have studied economies; but my first principles are sound. I can fix the system." Trump and Modi belong to this class.
13. These "experts" in economies are experts also in foreign policy. Modi and Trump believe in highly personalised diplomacy based on one assumption and one calculation. The assumption simply is that they know better and can manage men and matters. Within weeks of being sworn in as Prime Minister, Modi hosted President Xi Jinping, with results that are there for all to see. Trump went to Saudi Arabia to egg it on in its wild schemes—isolation of Iran and humiliation of Qatar. The calculation is a crafty one. Excursions abroad will impress sceptics at home.
14. Most remarkably, our arrogant partners in daring enterprises share a love and also a hate. They love Israel. They hate China. In 2013, when he was Chief Minister of Gujarat, Modi denounced China as "expansionist". Simplistic to the core, they believe that the world would join them in their attempts to isolate the chosen victim, be it Iran or Pakistan. But states follow the national interest; policies of isolation have a short shelf life.
15. Both are ruthless. Modi lost no time in putting veterans like L.K. Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi in their place though they had run out of steam and posed no danger. Trump has shattered all records of presidential sackings of officials; Stephen K. Bannon, the "Chief Strategist", being the latest.
16. A leader's egotism, dangerous always, becomes a real menace when it is married to a narrow and exclusivist nationalism. Modi never conceals his brand. It is Hindutva "cultural nationalism". He told the Press Trust of India (PTI) "I am a Hindu nationalist", frankly and bluntly. Trump flaunts his brand of nationalism, which Charlottesville revealed. (Story on page 54.)
17. Since the hard core of the constituency is what it is, neither Trump nor Modi can afford to be anything but selective in their censures of wrongs, no matter how grave. Trump's infamous remarks of August 15 on the outrage at Charlottesville will outlive his Presidency: "You also had people that were very fine people on both sides." The best comment came from Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May on August 16: "I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them. I think it is important for all those in positions of responsibility to condemn far-right views wherever we hear them."
Modi practises his brand of moral equivalence as his speeches during the election campaigns to the Lok Sabha in 2014, in Bihar and in Uttar Pradesh, revealed. Not once has he censured attacks on Muslims specifically, nor has Trump attacked the Klu Klux Klan. Modi dare not censure the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS).
18. If the polity is to be recast, it is essential that history is rewritten and national heroes are replaced with votaries of the ideology of hate. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) takes pot-shots at Nehru. Trump plays the same game on George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, as if there was nothing else to them besides ownership of slaves. Modi has sought to rewrite history systematically to exclude Nehru's role in nation-building, very much as Stalin had history rewritten to wipe out Trotsky's record. A nation is known by the men it lauds as its heroes. Modi and his BJP-RSS mentors prefer to laud S.P. Mookerjee, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya and V.D. Savarkar.
The top leadership of the state has it in its power to promote its ideology and to create an atmosphere. In every democracy, the media has sympathisers of both, the ruling party and the opposition. Modi's regime has created a new class of active supporters in the media on whom it lavishes its largesse. These are noted columnists who never deviate from the party line and have prospered in Modi Raj. TV is as faithful, bar exceptions. They mould a climate. On August 15, the National Public Service announced that the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., had been defaced by obscene writings drawn with spray paint. A Smithsonian Museum map on Constitution Avenue had received the same treatment.
19. Besides these dozen and odd affinities lies one which bodes ill for the political system. It is the leader's belief that he stands apart and above the party. The party derives strength from him; not him from the party. Trump's recent attacks on the Republicans will soon pass. The party system is strong though the divides are not as sharp and Trump cannot last long. His ratings are abysmally low.
The RSS is disturbed by Modi's antics but shrewdly reckons that it has more to gain by him being Prime Minister than by ousting him. Modi's ratings have suffered, but they remain encouraging enough for him. The opposition has not crafted an alternative and attractive programme, nor acquired an inspiring leadership. Modi developed an image of himself as one who will deliver and laced it with Hindutva. Any alternative must meet him on both.
It saddens one to note that two of the world's great democracies are led by men intolerant of dissent; driven by a tunnel vision; and made of poor quality fibre, coarse and outmoded.
"Ye gods, it doth amaze me,/A man of such a feeble temper should/So get the start of the majestic world,/ And bear the palm alone."
Shakespeare had a conspirator say this of Julius Caesar. What a scornful portrait he would have drawn of sawdust Caesars Trump and Modi.

What can possibly cause a horizontal scroll in dev tools but not in the website itself?

A: Remove the min-width: 320px; from .hero-container it causes problems on small screen devices which causes extra padding on the side. Remove width: 80% and set it to width: auto instead.

Don't let your messy workplace become the laughing stock of the office. If your clutter is getting in the way of productivity, perhaps it is time to clean up your act in order to get work done. If your work area is cluttered, you don't have space to work. Messy desks have no room for creativity. Luckily, we found ways to help you organize your desk that will make it the envy of your co-workers. Check out these tips.
We have email inboxes, but somehow never use real life inboxes to organize our daily clutter. Inboxes are a great way to keep your desk neat and organized. You can make your own inbox or buy one at the office supply store. All incoming paperwork should be placed in the inbox and work done filed in the outbox for easier sorting. Now that you have somewhere to put stacks of paper, you should have a clear space on your desk to get other work done.
One of the great ways to minimize desk clutter is by having a trashcan nearby. If you have to get out of your desk to throw things in the trash, you don't do it because you feel lazy. However, if you have a trashcan within reach, you can easily throw away garbage and other stuff you don't need and keep your desk neat and organized.
Depending on how much clutter you churn out, you can schedule cleaning time to once a day to once a week to keep mess to a minimum. During your designated cleaning time, organize your desk, throw away clutter, sort your inbox and outboxes, and wipe down any dust or dirt that may have accumulated on your desk. Don't limit cleaning time to your desktop. Check your drawers for unwanted and unsorted items too. Even if you're a neat freak, a good rule of thumb is to clean it before you leave.
Your desk should have a good balance of work and personal quirks. It's perfectly fine to give your desk character because you have to work in it. Photos of the family, a memento from a great vacation or trinkets can provide inspiration throughout the day. But, don't overdo it. If you have to put up personal stuff on your desk, limit it to 3 items to keep your desk organized to help you keep your focus.
Papers on a desk does not only make it look messy and unorganized, it also makes it hard to prioritize projects. Messy desks can also back up work, which can be bad for personal and company productivity. To organize your projects and desks, sort work into: important/urgent, urgent but not really important, important but not urgent, and not urgent not important. You can use vertical file folders for organization and help keep paper off your desk.Keeping your desk neat and organized is easy and does not take a lot of time. Aside from better productivity, an organized desk can keep stress at bay.

State COVID relief checks expected to be sent out starting Dec. 14
Megan Abundis
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — State officials said COVID relief in the form of a $1,200 check will soon be on the way for tens of thousands of New Mexicans on unemployment. Last week, state lawmakers approved that funding during the legislative special session.
The New Mexico Department of Workforce Solutions said people who are already on unemployment won't have to fill out any additional forms to receive the money.
"People really need help right now. We've said it over and over again. We recognize that people need this help," said Bill McCamley, secretary of Workforce Solutions. "Especially after holidays when people have a lot of time to think about their situations, they all call us on Monday morning."
McCamley said the department received thousands of phone calls about the relief funds, which are expected to hit people's bank accounts in mid-December.
"The week of December 14th is the week we are going to roll out those payments. We have to do them in chunks. We are talking about a lot of people here," he said.
Nearly 140,000 people will receive checks. The state said there's enough money to give everyone that one-time payment.
"This money will go directly back into the economy," McCamley said. "The people that have unemployment claims, it goes back out to rent, buy groceries, utilities, pay for child care—the things we talk about all the time."
People who still have questions about the funds are encouraged to call the Department of Workforce Solutions at (1-877-664-6984) on the day associated with the last digit if their social security number, which are as follows:
0 - 3 : Monday
4 – 6 : Tuesday
7 – 9 : Wednesday
Missed your day: Thursday and Friday
The first chunk of funds will go out Dec. 14 and continue throughout the week. Payments will take between 24-72 hours to transfer into your accounts.

Bringing Together Leaders to Positively Impact Community
The Charter Oak Leadership Program (CLP) identifies and brings together emerging leaders from the legal, economic, business, political, nonprofit and civic professions to learn how visionary, principle-centered leadership can positively impact their community.
Many of the most recognized and respected experts in the country – including authorities on current events, leadership and the political process – lead each session.
CLP students are of extremely high caliber and each year's class is limited to 35 students to foster collaborative, participatory learning and to maximize interaction among students and presenters.
It's All About Principles...
Tiko Hardy, 2015 graduate of the Leadership Program of the Rockies
Timeless Principles. Leaders in Action.
The Charter Oak Leadership Program (CLP) trains emerging leaders in America's founding principles--why they were important in the beginning and how they apply to the challenges of today.
Then it teaches and fine-tunes the leadership skills necessary to impact public policy.
CLP is steadily filling the talent pipeline with new leaders.
They comprise concentric circles of influence with echo chambers that change the political dialogue on important issues.
It works because its ideals transcend the personalities and whims of elections.
The CLP experience is more than a one-time seminar or conference.
Comprising nine full-day sessions and multiple events throughout the year, CLP is designed to have nothing less than an enduring impact on the knowledge and capabilities of its graduates -- and, fundamentally, on the preservation of the American idea.
Classes are limited to thirty-five high-caliber students selected from legal, economic, business, political, nonprofit and civic professions into a nine-session curriculum led by an elite team of local leaders and nationally recognized experts.
The result is the knowledge, tools and skills to preserve liberty.
Meet Our Charter Oak Leadership Program Launch Team
These Connecticut Leaders Will Launch the Inaugural CLP Class This Fall!
Leadership Program of the Rockies (LPR), CLP's parent organization, has recruited a team of leaders from Connecticut to help launch and run the Charter Oak Leadership Program. Beginning in 2017, LPR has been working hard to identify the talent needed to launch and lead this effort, studied Connecticut's issues and demographics, and developed relationships with key groups and individuals who influence politics and policy in the State. An initiative of this scale and importance requires significant planning, time-on-the-ground, and resources. With the future of freedom in Connecticut at stake, there can be no short-cuts.
We have selected four determined Connecticut leaders who have made a commitment to travel to Colorado for eleven consecutive months to join LPR's 2018-2019 class. Their goal is to learn about the unique teaching techniques that LPR has fine-tuned over the last thirty years. These passionate, dedicated Connecticut citizens are mastering a unique, highly successful curriculum that underscores three core elements: individual rights, the proper role of government, and the need for an active, engaged citizenry--all centered on the concept of freedom.
Today, this inaugural Connecticut leadership team is well-immersed in freedom's principles and the fundamental ideas of capitalism as it prepares to launch CLP's first class in October 2019. Just as impressive as their Colorado counterparts, each team member possesses a unique sphere of influence--a critical characteristic of every program graduate.

Major Crimes Season 5 Episode 21 Review: Shockwave Part 2
Jack Ori at April 12, 2017 11:03 pm .
Sharon got a well-deserved promotion after a bomber nearly killed everyone in the unit, while Rusty seemed to let go of Gus.
And Flynn jumped into action and proved that he will do pretty much anything to defend Sharon!
As season finales go, Major Crimes Season 5 Episode 21 was fairly exciting. I definitely will want to tune in when it returns, though I found some aspects of the conclusion confusing.
The first half of "Shockwave: Part 2" involved an extensive manhunt for suspected bomber Christian Ortiz.
I didn't expect the twist that he'd actually been innocent of murder until he decided to start bombing people to protest having been locked up unfairly.
Flynn: He doesn't just want to screw his ex-wife. He wants to screw the entire LAPD the way he feels we screwed him.
Buzz: I know the justice system isn't always perfect, but if he'd just given us a chance...
Provenza: We'd what, made this right? I know it's hard to accept, but not everyone wants our help.
Permalink: We'd what, made this right? I know it's hard to accept, but not everyone wants our help.
Ortiz certainly had a right to his outrage, though of course he didn't have a right to attempt to bomb every division of the LAPD in protest.
Given all the problems with racism and mass incarceration in the criminal justice system, it's easy to see why a non-white person might have been blamed for a murder actually committed by his white ex-wife.
I'd love to see this subject treated in more depth on a future episode. As far as this one goes, I had to wonder what Winnie Davis thought when she found out about Ortiz's plot. After all, she had been overly quick to call the original bombing an act of terrorism, but she might have felt vindicated to learn the truth.
Davis' complete absence was odd to me. She was all over the Major Crimes Unit during Major Crimes Season 5 Episode 20, yet she was nowhere to be seen once the bombing actually happened. She also had no reaction to Sharon getting promoted to Commander while she presumably got nothing.
Did Davis slink away with her tail between her legs? Will she return in the fall to try to make Sharon's life miserable as she settles into her new position? Was she killed in the cemetery bombing and nobody mentioned it?
I'd have liked to have seen her reaction. It felt like a loose end that needed to be tied up, though this was a minor flaw in an otherwise solid hour of television.
Flynn: I've been doing some thinking.
Provenza: Are you in pain?
Flynn: No, I - oh. Very funny. No, I've been thinking that my health's improving. I'm eating better, I'm taking vitamins, all that. So how long before I'm back in the field?
Permalink: No, I - oh. Very funny. No, I've been thinking that my health's improving. I'm eating better,...
I've missed Flynn and Provenza's banter. Provenza was right that Flynn was really going to have to prove that he wasn't a health risk anymore. But I think he did a fine job of that in his confrontation with Ortiz.
Flynn ran across to City Hall to confront the suspect. He saw the explosion and punched the dude before trying frantically to check on Sharon. He was intensely relieved when he found out that everyone was okay. And he didn't seem to have any physical problems while under all of that stress.
I hope this means that he'll be back on duty soon. The Provenza/Flynn love-hate fest is one of the best parts of Major Crimes.
Rusty: I can transfer to Berkeley. I have the grades. But I'm on track to graduate from UCLA in December. Berkeley goes by the quarter system, not semesters, so that would add another six months to my schedule.
Gus: And Napa Valley would and another $15,000 to my paycheck. But that's not what's important here, right?
Rusty: Gus, would you just hold on?
Gus: No. We are staying here. We're not going to Napa. But you're going to apply to law schools in L.A. and you'd better get into one right here because if you don't go to school in L.A., we're done.
Permalink: No. We are staying here. We're not going to Napa. But you're going to apply to law schools in...
Meanwhile, Rusty and Gus' relationship became even more of a confusing mess. I like Rusty, and Gus' behavior did nothing to change my opinion that Rusty deserves far better than him.
Gus came off as really, really controlling, even more so than usual. He basically told Rusty where he was going to school and used the threat of ending the relationship to make sure he'd cooperate.
That's not cool. In fact, it's pretty abusive.
I could see the wheels turning when Rusty was in the squad room listening to what was going on with Ortiz.
Rusty tends to think the worst of himself, always assuming his behavior with Gus is as bad as the perp of the hour's behavior with whoever got hurt. I wish he'd stop that.
He wasn't wrong to expect his boyfriend to at least talk with him rather than just deciding for him how they were going to handle the conflict over where to live, and I was glad he didn't exactly back off from that.
13 TV Marriages We Wish Were Ours
I'm not exactly sure what he did do, though.
It seemed pretty obvious that he was agreeing to live apart because he was worried about Gus' sleazy boss coming onto him, and I thought he was encouraging Gus to go to Napa Valley to keep him away from Aiden.
Then he told Gus he wanted to try having a long-distance relationship and they both agreed that would be good for them.
I thought maybe Rusty was trying to prove he wasn't insecure because of the stupid things Aiden said and was about to get annoyed with him. Then his reaction after Gus left made me think that he was breaking up with Gus without really saying so.
I hope I'm wrong about that, because that would be seriously uncool of Rusty to do that. I liked his strength in saying goodbye to the relationship, but this isn't the way to do it.
Did anyone else follow this whole thing? Is this nightmare of a relationship finally over or not?
Am I living here now? Is that why I brought my things? What if you never catch him? Then what?
Permalink: Am I living here now? Is that why I brought my things? What if you never catch him? Then what?
I was honestly surprised that Lisbeth had anything to do with killing anyone until the reveal, but it did make the story stronger for Ortiz to be a nut case with a legitimate grievance rather than just acting randomly.
In any case, I thought the attempt to defuse the bombs was incredibly tense. Everyone snapping at Buzz while he was trying his best to neutralize the threat was a small moment that really paid off.
Bad guys on television tend to have extra weapons that they reveal just when everyone thinks they're safe, and Ortiz was no exception. I forgive Major Crimes for using this trope, though, because Sharon's realization that the bomb was in the luggage was that good.
I really liked that viewers learned along with Flynn exactly what the damage was. We knew that Sharon had called for evacuation, but it wasn't clear that everyone was actually all right until Flynn got ahold of Provenza.
Afterwards, I found myself getting emotional along with Sharon when she got promoted to Commander. I'm very curious as to what Mason has in mind for Major Crimesl

Major Crimes Review: An Explosive Season Finale


As far as meat goes I consider the good old fashioned pig to be the king of beasts and would rather order or cook a great pork dish over any other meat!
I am always on the hunt for new stew recipes at this time of year. This braised pork stew from South East Asia is my latest discovery. This Babi Chin recipe is essentially pork cooked in a dark soy sauce based stock. It is superb, dark, sweet, salty and all sorts of comforting.
This braised Chinese ham hock recipe is really special and uses one of the many underrated cuts of meat. If you are cooking on a budget these are the cuts of meat you really need to be buying!
For many years Chinese Spare Ribs were my go-to choice from the Chinese takeaway. As I grew older I became more adventurous but they still hold a special place in my nostalgic food memories!
Roast pork chops are a regular occurrence in our household and these bad boys are flavoured with Harissa and mint. Then served with a glorious pearl couscous 'salad' that is loaded with North African flavours.
Cooking on the BBQ for me rarely means a higgeldy-piggeldy collection of food. This brown sugar grilled pork tenderloin with grilled watermelon and feta cheese is designed to be a complete meal.
These pan fried pork chops are almost a throwback to the sort British food I grew up with. Meat and two veg, and of course one of those veg were always potatoes. As with most of my recipes here, this pork chop recipe has international leanings.
This roast pork tenderloin recipe is another in my favourite series of meals, seriously impressive flavours a real head turner. Most importantly it takes a great deal less effort than it looks!
Pork tenderloin feels like the perfect meat for this time of year. Quick to cook, light and lean and it sits perfectly alongside pickles like this pickled fennel and carrots.
I have been using this smoked pork tenderloin as the meat element in salads for a few years. I love it, it has a smoky tinge as you would expect and the most wonderful texture.
I firmly believe along with many other cooks that the cheaper and fattier cuts of meat have lots more flavour than the leaner more expensive cuts. As a result you should prepare yourself for a real flavour sensation with this Pineapple Pork Belly.

Often the top esports bet apps will also have other features, like free tips competitions, or promotions for using certain parts of the app.
Best Android esports betting apps
Android users are in the lucky situation of having more freedom than iOS users when it comes to downloading apps. Android betting apps can be downloaded directly from an online sportsbook, rather than from the Google Play store.
You will need to Allow non-market apps to download an esports betting app directly from a bookmaker, but this only takes a second, and takes effect immediately.
Because there is less red-tape around Android esports betting, it means it's more likely betting sites will have this type of app, and no iOS app, although plenty, especially in regulated betting markets in places like the United Kingdom and Australia.
Best iOS esports betting apps
Apple users have got the iOS operating system on their handheld devices. Apple esports betting apps, have got to be downloaded directly from the Apple App store, unless you have a jailbroken phone.
Because Apple has high standards around abiding by local laws, it means you can't download third party apps, and you will only find betting apps in the Apple Store if sports betting is legal in your location.
As an example you will find that every Australian betting company has got iOS apps available in the Apple App Store, while in countries like Dubai, where betting is illegal, you won't find any betting apps for Apple phones and tablets.

Having said this, esports is expanding rapidly and more and more games are sprouting professional leagues. At the time of writing the following esports were all available to bet on via leading esports betting apps:

Limousine service receives safety award — Mid-Hudson Limousine of Poughkeepsie has received the Safety Excellence Award from Lancer Insurance Company, Long Beach. The award recognizes the safety excellence for the 2013 policy year.
Lancer, among the nation's leading providers of liability, physical damage and general liability insurance coverages to limousine companies in all 50 states , instituted its Safety Excellence Award program more than 20 years ago to recognize companies that demonstrate the highest commitment of safety to their customers and employees.
"We're extremely pleased to recognize Mid-Hudson Limousine for its achievement," said Lancer vice president and director of safety and loss prevention Bob Crescenzo. "We believe it is very important that recipient companies' management, drivers, mechanics and support staff be publicly acknowledged for performing their critical jobs at a level that not only meets, but often exceeds, industry standards."

As an avid watcher of New Girl (Nick and Jess... will they? Won't they?! COME ON!), I feel like one of the best ways to fully express my feelings in this situation is with memes from the show. If you're not a watcher, the show is currently available on Netflix. I suggest you do yourself a favor, and binge your face off.
Now, on to 11 things most photographers probably won't tell you---aided by New Girl memes!
1. They get really excited when you email them!
While you might just be casually hunting for prices, getting an inquiry for wedding photography from you can put a serious pep in their step! Learning about a new couple from their love story to their wedding day details is what drives many photographers and fuels their passion. Hence the cheering.
2. They get even more excited when you book.
While this one is probably obvious, you probably don't realize just how excited photographers get when you book. They would probably freak you out with their unfiltered giddiness, so they play it cool. In truth though, a wedding booking can make their day, season, or year. Your actions at a future client likely have more power than you realize.
3. Consultations sometimes feel like a job interview.
They're friendly; they're informative; and they feel like there's something on the line they care about: getting to photograph your wedding! Everything in them wants you to know they're the right person for the job, so don't be surprised when they show up in a blazer and pass you their proverbial resumé.
4. Engagement sessions are like wedding day training.
Most photographers will tell you they want you to feel comfortable with one another before the wedding day. What they might not say is that because wedding day portrait times typically go very quickly (and can have unexpected delays because of things like weather), having experience with their posing and shooting style can make a potentially hectic wedding day experience feel like a walk in the park (but with fancier clothes).
5. The schedule is their baby!
While photographers love to help you make a schedule that makes your wedding day go smoothly, they also know that it's crucial to making sure you get the photos you want and need. Deviating from the schedule could mean more stress and less photos. A little planning from your resident wedding expert (ahem... your photographer) can make all the difference.
6. They have a love/hate relationship with videographers.
While they try to get along with videographers, working with them can be something of a complicated dance! The pairing of video and photography is incomparable on a wedding day (and both are necessary parts of story-telling), but trying to juggle the space and time needed for both parties to get the shots they want is... tricky. Hence a Montague-Capulet-esque rivalry, until the end of time.
7. Your marriage means a lot to them.
Even though weddings are something they see and attend considerably more than the average person, it doesn't mean that they are desensitized to the incredible covenant happening between you and your future spouse. They might be hiding their tears behind their camera as you exchange vows, but they certainly don't want people to catch them getting emotional while shooting. They are, more than you know, a cheerleader for your marriage, so naturally, cue the tears.
8. Seeing their photos printed through a sub-par lab is cringe-worthy.
Photographers understand that you want an affordable guest book at your wedding and you want to decorate your home with photos, but it can be rather painful for them to show up to a wedding and see that the images they worked so hard to edit to perfection were printed through a lab that doesn't calibrate their monitors or printers. Most photographers will gladly edit an album free of charge if you order them, saving you time and in essence money.
9. But they love it when they see their photos printed through a preferred lab!
On the flip side, when they their images printed through a professional grade lab, they freak out. Little will make your photographer happier than printing the images through a lab that will honor the beautiful edits, time, and energy they put into your imagery. They will give you the shiniest gold star for doing so!
10. They can't wait to know what you think of the photos they took.
It's not uncommon for photographers to edit photos, deliver the gallery earlier than expected, and then hear nothing from the clients. Many photographers just want to know you liked what they photographed. Even though you are probably so excited to look at your gallery, a quick note to say you safely received (and loved) the images is more appreciated than you know (and avoids some major awkwardness).
11. At the end of the day, photographers just want you to be happy.
All the scheduling, booking, nervous energy, and fancy details aside, photographers more than anything just want you to be happy! Little makes a photographer happier than knowing that you not only liked your images, but that your wedding day was made better by their presence. That's worthy of petal-throwing for sure!
