It took 90 minutes for Daily News to 'steal' the Empire State Building
1 hour ago - via Bookmarklet - Link
From the Daily News: "In one of the biggest heists in American history, the Daily News "stole" the $2 billion Empire State Building. And it wasn't that hard. The News swiped the 102-story Art Deco skyscraper by drawing up a batch of bogus documents, making a fake notary stamp and filing paperwork with the city to transfer the deed to the property. Some of the information was laughable: Original "King Kong" star Fay Wray is listed as a witness and the notary shared a name with bank robber Willie Sutton. The massive ripoff illustrates a gaping loophole in the city's system for recording deeds, mortgages and other transactions. The loophole: The system - run by the office of the city register - doesn't require clerks to verify the information." - Mark Trapp via Bookmarklet
I heard this story on NPR this morning. It's full of lulz. - ha3rvey

I think it was your saggy boobs, Johnny. Next time, try ( o ) ( o ) for more perkitudinous ones. - Ladybug Heather
"perkitudinous"? I think that is my new second favorite word. Right behind "reciprocity" - ha3rvey
Heehee, ha3rvey! I love to add "-alicious" or "-itudinous" or "-tastic" to random words. These suffixes (suffices?) can make just about ANY word better! - Ladybug Heather

“This is crazy. I need a new cellphone. Believe it or not, I need a phone with no camera. I keep getting jobs in locations where I can't take a camera of any kind. This means leaving my work blackberry, personal blackberry, and my little Canon P&S in a zip-top bag at some guard station.”

Do they even make phones without cameras? :) - ha3rvey
You could always have the camera removed from your mobile phones so you can keep all the other functionality. - Andrew Trinh
There are a few out there. Just have to look a little harder. - Yolanda
What carrier? I've dealt with similar situations, I bet I can find you one. - Mark Trapp
Most of the carriers make phones speifically without cameras. It will be the same phone as it's camera filled counterpart. Typical for government related positions. - Eric @ CS Techcast
Nokia 6310i.... It is, SERIOUSLY, one of the best phones ever. No camera, but it's got bluetooth, it's tough, got a HUGE standby time....... - Iain Baker

Me, too. - g. warbucks
I have him on my Tivo - Shevonne Polastre
Bourdain is a baller. He is all of Zane Lamprey with an actual marketable skill. - Josh
I've read all of his books. As a former kitchen prep, I love where he's coming from. I also think he's cute :) - V for Veselka
There are days when I wish I could channel Bourdain. He is the man. - ha3rvey
Anthony Bourdain defines crazy sexy cool *drool* :D - Helen Sventitsky
I know women who LOVE him, and I like his books. Something about him rubs me the wrong way. I like him enough, find him interesting, but attractive? Not my cup of tea. - Derrick
love his books & shows, would love to travel w/ him or just have dinner. as a former kitchen prep & dish washer, I know where he's coming from. - clarke thomas

Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin Recipe — Pinch My Salt
Show all
yesterday at 8:08 am - via Bookmarklet - Link
This rich and creamy Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Gratin is flavored with garlic, fresh thyme, and Manchego cheese. The ingredients are simple but indulgent, making this a perfect side dish for your next holiday meal. - Derrick via Bookmarklet
Now Im hungry - Shevonne Polastre
That reminds me, I have a butternut squash I need to do something with. Perhaps roasted butternut squash soup... - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Butternut squash is so very wonderful. It's just such a pain to actually get to the good stuff though I don't cook with it nearly as much as I should. - Michelle Jones
I'm not the *biggest* fan of butternut squash, but something this savory and cheesy could be the thing to convince me. - Derrick
I find it's easier to deal with when roasted/grilled, Michelle. Cut it in half and roast it, and then once it's cooked the meat is easy to remove from the shell. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
The current thought in the male side of my household is that squash is the devil's vegetable - Brian Sullivan
Michelle, you can (probably) buy diced, frozen butternut squash if there's a Whole Foods in your area. I've also seen it at other stores here in Vancouver, but it's definitely worth a look. It's a godsend. - Cecily
Derrick - Same here. I'm going to see if @mydwynter wants to have this for dinner sometime. - James Williams (willia4)
I made something very similar to this... yesterday? no cheese and it was more a soup, but hey :P - Michael W. May
dang... I think I have everything I need for this except the cheese. - ha3rvey
Manchego is awesome, ha3rvey. It's a Spanish cheese with a nice bit of zest to it. You'll wanna use it, for sure. - Derrick

“Question: How frequently do you go out of your way to make others feel appreciated?”
yesterday at 8:03 am - Link
Every day. Makes me feel good - Shevonne Polastre
Not often enough. - Yolanda
i try and help others often , in my day job as a firefighter and in my home life - johnpiercy
same as yolanda - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
I guess I need explanation on what you mean by appreciated? I am kind to all people even when I am in a funky mood. - jlt
tuesday, just as I got off my bus home, I helped a partially sighted guy navigate down an icy hill and reach a pub that he wasn't sure of its location. - alphaxion
A big part of my job is working with angsty college students and at this time of the year, they're burned out, stressed, and tired. I actually make an effort to letting them know that their hard work isn't in vain, and it's rewarding to help them through the end of the semester. I guess the same goes for fellow staff members too. We are feeling the burn as well. - Derrick
You're a good one, Derrick. *hugs* - Yolanda
Thanks, Yolanda. Mama and Daddy done raised themselves a man! ;) - Derrick
To borrow a phrase from Yo, whenever my brain cell allows - Michael W. May
I try to do it every day. It's especially important for me to make my wife feel appreciated. With my new job, she has a lot of stuff to deal with while I'm working. She's pretty awesome, IMHO. - ha3rvey
@ha3rvey you sound like an awesome husband - Shevonne Polastre
I think this goes beyond being nice, but actually letting people know that someone actually appreciates what they do. I'm quite positive I don't do this enough, but I'm trying really hard to change it. I know I would like it if people let me know I wasn't being taken for granted. - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
i love these kinds of threads - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Thanks, Marco. It's provoking this kind of discussion that's made me a FF lifer. :) - Derrick
It was the realization that alot of the people on here actually cared enough about these kinds of discussions that did it for me - Marco (aureliusmaximus)
Marco, I was hesitant to participate on FF because I thought that the threads here skewed towards tech (and they do), but even still, it's *these* kinds of things that I care about, and I realized there's room for all. - Derrick
Way way way too much. hahaha. - Lainie
I do customer service in my day job, but I'm with Yolanda. I don't do it often enough. Especially for co-workers who've gone beyond what everyone else does at my workplace. - Helen Sventitsky
I wish everyone understood that, Derrick. "there's room for all" :) - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
Frequently. I feel bad if I'm caused hurt feelings unintentionally. - Katie
Rah, thanks for making me feel so welcome, dude. Mo talked you up BIG TIME before I committed to really using FF. - Derrick
As often as i can. - Steven Perez
Thanks Derrick, way to make me feel bad about myself ;). I go out of my way to smile and be pleasant to anyone I meet or come across but other than that no. I also don't do or donate anything for charity. However I don't eat kittens or sexually molest old people so I feel it evens out a bit. - Toby Graham
Toby underestimates the smiles he brings to FFeeders everywhere *chuckle* - Michael W. May via twhirl
whatever you are doing today, what will matter to you looking back 10 year from now is interactions you had with others, people you met, people you worked with, and how you feel about how *you* were to them... We're so good at complaining and so bad at giving praise, because we see all the good things as "just normal". - Joelle Nebbe
As often as possible. I like making another person's day a little brighter. - Jason Huebel
Occasionally. I try to respond to emails from people that have helped me with a project or send me a note saying that they're leaving their company explaining that their help and patience did not go unnoticed. - James Ferguson
And often times, I'm surprised by the kindness of people. So much so, that it's shocking it doesn't happen nearly enough. - Derrick
as much as I can. - Melissa
I have learned not to expect it from others though. Most often folks operate on a me, me, me system. I don't really care at this point. I just like to give joy to others :) - Melissa
every day - because I know that all of us need it. - V for Veselka

What's an office spouse? - Yolanda
The secret office lover! I see... - orionstarr
Nah, not a secret office lover. Just a really good friend that used to work in my department, and now works in another. It was my wife who started calling him my "office spouse." LOL I guess, like an BFF co-worker. *shrug* - g. warbucks
My husband and I have used that term on each other too for office friends. lol :) - Carmen
Are office spouses like "kitchen wives"? I had two of those in culinary school. - ha3rvey
I've never heard of "kitchen wives," but it sounds like the same concept. :) - g. warbucks
