put brisket into crock-pot and cover with beer until brisket is covered
cook on low for 10-12 hours
take brisket out, put cabbage wedges into crock pot and cook on high for 35 minutes.

[recipe] Todd's Excellent Potato Casserole
6 medium-sized potatoes (I usually use white rose potatoes, but you can use any I think)
1 pint (16 oz.) sour cream
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 can
¼ cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup chopped green onions
In a separate pot, over low heat, combine the sour cream, cheddar cheese, condensed soup, butter/margarine, and green onions. Stir until cheese and butter/margarine are melted.
Pour mixture over grated potatoes and mix until evenly combined. Don’t mix too much, or else you will create a smooth texture like mashed potatoes. It’s more desirable (at least to me) to have an airy texture.
[homage] Faith in Panama
[ Sung to the tune of Faith by George Michael ;-) ]
Wouldn't it be nice
If listings could be normalized
And ads were served in order by revenue?
But we gotta think twice
Before we give the farm away
Let's keep it up in Sunnyvale not in Mountain View!
Oh but we need some time to code it just right
Haste is waste, don't rush it out the door!
And we are workin' on it with devotion
Well it takes some dedication
But we'll show'em how it's done!
'Cause we gotta have faith...
[ To Advertisers ]
Baby... I know you've got some pain today
But please, please, please, don't go away
tomorrow is a brand new day
Maybe…you'll love everything you see
new EPS, SRDB
And even a replacement for DTC
It used to simply connect two oceans
But Panama is now our NBT*
They'll have to reconsider the foolish notion
that Google's gonna kick our butt
Just wait for Panama!
Yes we gotta have faith…

[sql] Matching on underscore in SQLServer
For example, find rows that where [column] contains underscore:
SELECT * from [table] where [column] like '%^_%' ESCAPE '^'
The ESCAPE keyword specifies the carat as the escape character.

[muse] What makes a dazzling search experience?
Hmmmm.
My current theory: Google offered dazzling search results on "tail terms", by indexing and showing "tail sites" in the results.
