Video of the Day: Taxicab DuetBy Adam Tod Brown
You’re almost certainly a bit confused by what you’re watching. Here’s the scoop. This cab driver does a live vlog from his cab in South Korea (obviously, KJI would have his head for enjoying himself at work). During one broadcast, South Korean pop star IU ends up in his cab and decides to sing a duet of one of her songs with him. Adorable, that’s what that is.George Behe has written another book on Titanic that has gotten a positive review in The Titanic Commutator. According to the reviewer:
“On Board RMS Titanic—Memories of the Maiden Voyage is George’s latest effort and probably his most significant work to date on the subject of Titanic. In the pages of this lengthy book will be found a literal wealth of information in the form of first-person accounts about the ship and its voyage. Over the span of nearly forty years, Behe has traveled throughout the United States, Canada, and abroad to find these rare and forgotten accounts, often poring over reels of neglected microfilm to discover an account that may not have been read since the date of its publication.”
The reviewer further notes that Behe does not paraphrase any of the accounts of passengers or crew revealing a lot of stories to a wide audience. In short, this book is a must to read and worthy addition to any Titanic library.
Where to buy: The book is self-published and available at Lulu.com. $35 plus shipping. Also check out other titles by Behe while there.

Rep. Jared Polis, D-Co was clearly offended by Rep. John Fleming, R-La, who commented on what he called the "negative impacts of legalizing marijuana on Colorado and its children."
Perhaps the best part of Polis response was his hilarious quote about "smoking crayfish."
I’m not going to send federal troops into Louisiana to arrest people for whatever you do down there, smoking crayfish. Want me to ban that and send federal troops down there? I bet maybe smoking crayfish ain’t good for you. What if it’s fried? Might clog your arteries, huh?
We've heard of pinching the tail and sucking the head, but smoking it? Don't try this at home.

Lisa that looks great and so natural on you!
Hey any tips for those of us who color our hair? My roots are out about an inch and I’m not sure if its a good idea to use color when using the curly custard product. (should I just discontinue its use until I do my color? I hate black haie on me!)
Thanks! From what I’ve heard conditioning is the key (especially if you are natural because your hair is dryer) There’s a girl on YouTube that I follow and her hair is colored and it’s always healthy. I don’t think Kinky Curly is harming anything since it’s a 100% natural product. That Knot Today conditioner is soooooooooo moisturizing, I can’t see it harming anything. I would do a deep conditioner every week with color.What makes"> "A national language is a national tie, and what country wants it more than America?"
What makes American English American? In 1800, irascible patriot Noah Webster set out to answer this question by tirelessly recording the vocabulary of a novel breed -- the American citizen. Though he was a political conservative, his American Dictionary of the English Language was born out of his deeply held and profoundly democratic conviction that language was by and for the people. A word's popularity, no matter how lowly its origins, was its criterion for inclusion. Webster's original American dictionary, the granddaddy of them all, helped define the American character.
In a light-footed introductory essay, Harvard historian and New Yorker contributor Jill Lepore brilliantly revives the curmudgeonly Webster: his rigor, his passion for words, and his paradoxical ideas about language and politics. Arthur Schulman, longtime crossword puzzle creator for The New York Times, has culled fifteen hundred of Webster's entries from the original book, revealing Webster's interpretive powers as well as his pervasive moralism. Incisively annotated and delightfully illustrated with quotes from contemporary American sources, these excerpts paint a fascinating picture of a budding Republic.
For everyone who's ever gone to "look it up in Webster's" Websterisms offers a crisp new view both of the man justifiably called the Founding Father of American English and of his magnum opus. It took Webster twenty-eight years to compile and publish his monumental work, during which time he was much mocked: what could American English be but a perversion of the King's English? But his dictionary stuck, and its influence grew and grew. We still use most of the words Webster defined, like spank and caucus. Others, like musquash, haven't fared as well. Websterisms tells the tale of a language that once was and that lives on.This is a filling soup chock full of mixed vegetables and white beans also known as lima beans. The extra kick of flavor comes from caramelized onions. Frying the onions and then adding them after the soup is cooked gives the onions a chance to keep their caramelized flavor more pronounced.
White Bean Soup with Veggies & Caramelized Onions
makes 6-8 servings
Ingredients:
- 4 cups white beans. You can use canned or dry beans. If using canned beans drain, rinse and set aside. If using dry beans, cook according to package directions and then use in the soup.
- 2-3 cups chopped celery about 2 stalks
- 2 bell peppers – 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper finely chopped
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- 4 cups finely chopped spinach
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 large onion thinly cut
- 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 carton vegetable broth – 5-6 cups broth
- Salt and pepper
- 1/2 tsp red chili flakes
- 4 oz creamy goat cheese or cream cheese (optional)
- Olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
Directions:
- In a large pot heat 2 tbsp olive oil. Sauté garlic until fragrance is released. Add red chili flakes and all the vegetables (except the onions and spinach). Add salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme and broth. Cook vegetables for 10-15 minutes until all the veggies are tender.
- Add the canned white beans. Continue to cook soup for additional 10 minutes until the beans are extra soft and tender.
- While the soup is cooking, in another pan caramelize the onions in 1 tbsp butter until browned, about 10 minutes.
- Once the vegetables in the soup are cooked tender add caramelized onions and spinach and wilt spinach into the soup for 2 minutes. Next add goat cheese if using and dissolve in the soup. Soup is ready.
