There are two situations regarding recipes that drive me crazy. One is finding a really good recipe and then you have nowhere to put it. The other is wanting to prepare a special recipe item for dinner, but then you have trouble finding it. I’ve been trying to store recipes for years. There comes a time when you need to put a day or two aside and just spend time organizing your favorite recipes. I think it’s critical that we have printed recipes, my friends. Yes, I love the internet and Pinterest recipes that are so delicious to look at and then make. But if we don’t have the internet, or our computer where we store so many files, including...
Welcome to another week of Dear Duolingo, an advice column just for language learners. Catch up on past installments here. Howdy, learners! Many (MANY 😱) of you wrote to Dear Duolingo to follow up about Spanish pronunciation tips and the mysterious English puff of air. GR asked "To puff, or not to puff?" Danielle just said "Why?" And Emily and Laura said the magic word ("please"), so we won't leave you hanging! In the Spanish pronunciation post, one of the tips for advanced Spanish learners pointed out that in English we pronounce "p," "t," and "k" with a puff of air (like in pin, tin, and kin), but that you don't do this is Spanish. First of all, what?! And...
When it comes to babies, safety is always a top priority. With September being Top Baby Birth Month and National Baby Safety Month, there’s never been a better time to reflect on everyday safety practices and concerns. As a pediatrician, part of my job is to educate and prepare new parents as best as I can—from bonding tips to car seat safety, baby proofing and more.

Babies will constantly surprise you, but knowing what to look out for and how to react will help ensure they grow up to be healthy and strong. Below are 10 baby safety tips you may be curious about. How can I keep my baby safe...
August 7, 1992 brought us the release of not only best picture winner UNFORGIVEN and feature length movie 3 NINJAS, but also one of the most joyfully deranged thrillers of the era, Brian De Palma’s RAISING CAIN. I reviewed RAISING CAIN a few years back… oh jesus actually it was 18 years ago what the fuck… and it’s an okay review as far as describing what the movie is like, but I could not in good conscience do a series on the weirdness of Summer ’92 and not revisit it. This is one of the top achievers in the field. Five years earlier, De Palma had had a huge mainstream success with THE UNTOUCHABLES, a well-reviewed hit movie that nabbed...
There is a serious resurgence happening right now in the quadcopter drone market. Drones were insanely popular for a few years when they first burst onto the scene, but then consumer interest died down a bit. Now, however, it seems like everyone wants a new drone. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that some of Amazon's best drone deals are happening right now. If you're looking for something fun to keep you or your children occupied outdoors, it doesn't get much better than a camera drone. And if you head over to Amazon right now, you'll find a great discount on the already-affordable Holy Stone HS260 Foldable Camera Drone with awesome features including voice control...
