I'm pretty sure the solution is farming the uninhabited Earths in parallel universes.

I don't think blame games are a constructive way to pass time, never really seen it as being helpfull, and it is not a value that I want to see in my kids. If you think that is wrong, then please teach your kids a monochromatic worldview.

Phummus - I hope your little one gets a clean cardiogram. I'm glad to read it was an abscess rather than something ickier. Had an impromptu gathering of friends on Saturday and fed them enchiladas made from the pulled pork I smoked the weekend before. They went back for seconds and we had a good time watching one of the pirates movies. It's nice to live in a place where I'm not embarrassed to have people over.

They only rent in bulk packs of SUVs though and I'm looking for something smaller and more local. Actually I don't know if Israel requires a special license to drive over there, what the insurance scams might be, etc. I don't even know if it's feasible to drive around. Obviously not in Jerusalem, but heading up to Tiberias or down to the Dead Sea I'd like to cruise in a little Suzuki rather than have to deal with a bus.

As far as I remember courage is more important than an actual license (as the license only will inhibit your artistic freedom as a driver, and stifle creativity). Seriously though, your international license should be fine.

Israeli drivers are bad. I'm sure there are worse, but they are bad. Internet should tell you what you need; international will probably do.

It does, think of how many americans split time between israel and the states, and the huge numbers that travel to the area. International drivers license should speed you through, though I found the most terrifying drivers in the world to be in the Middle East/Central Asia. So good luck Wiggles!

I almost did, but it was just less hassle to use the bus system and those strange taxi/buses that carry like 20 people. forget what they're called. besides, using public transit just adds to the excitement - I think the PLA blew up a bus that was going on the same route between tel aviv and jerusalem that I used. ^_^ even made it to the dead sea (with the best town name ever of "EIN GEDI") on a bus, which let me tell you, was an exciting journey. mindphlux fucked around with this message at 23:28 on May 8, 2012 |

I don't get it. I made the brownie recipe by Alton Brown (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/cocoa-brownies-recipe/index.html) and they came out loving liquid inside after cooking for an extra 20 minutes. I'm absolutely baffled. I've never had something like this happen before.

Did you check your oven temp? If that wasn't it, you probably mismeasured something. Edit: did you use a really heavy pan by chance?

It was a glass pan. I added some chocolate chips. Maybe I put in too many and when they melted they made everything way too soggy?
