Meatless Monday Recipe?Bea Arthur Vegetarian Breakfast

Written by Vegetarian Star on October 29th, 2012 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Meatless Monday Recipe, Recipes.

The Dead Celebrity Cookbook

What?s scarier than ghosts and witches on Halloween? Dead animals in your breakfast on Halloween!

The Dead Celebrity Cookbook is a collection of recipes from the stars that no longer are with us?at least not in living form!

Bea Arthur was a Golden Girl who enjoyed a Bruschetta-like meal in the morning, as described in the chapter on the late actress titled, ?Thank You For Feeding a Friend.?

Author Frank Decaro writes, ?Food was always good for a giggle on The Golden Girls, too. Sophia could turn the word cannoli into a sexual double entendre, and Rose?s Scandinavian recipes, her geneukenfleuken cake, for instance, were always played for laughs.?

Make a tribute to Bea this Halloween or any day of the year by preparing her simple Vegetarian Breakfast consisting of toast, margarine, tomatoes and mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste.

Toyota Unleashes Its "OctoberBeast" at Annual Company Auto Show

Among car enthusiasts, sometimes you hear jokes like, ?With as boring as the Camry and Corolla are, you wonder what the people who work for Toyota are like.?

The fact is, they?re nothing like you imagine them to be. Many of them are as enthusiastic about cars as your average?Motor Trend?or?Automobile reader. Maybe more so. And they can prove it, too.

OctoberBeast 2 300x187 imageYou don?t typically hear of big, conservative Japanese car companies starting classic car shows in their parking lots, which makes this story all the more interesting. Back in 1992, engineer?Greg Busenkell was searching for a lot around Toyota headquarters in Torrance, California, to put a fleet of cars for new accessories testing. He noticed interesting and classic cars showing up from time to time and figured he might as well try to have them show up at the same time?an annual cruise-in.

Thus, OctoberBeast was born. Or, at least, the Toyota Associate Special Interest Vehicle Display, which is what you probably thought a company like Toyota would call it. But Busenkell quickly renamed it after seeing so many old Detroit ?beasts? show up every October.

The first year found eight cars lined up in a parking lot. Some were show-ready; others were works in progress that would come back year after year with signs of improvement. All of them were loved by their owners, proud of their classics regardless of what badge adorned their hood or grille.

OctoberBeast 31 300x187 imageOctoberBeast continued expanding through the years to include invitations to Toyota?s local suppliers?some years getting as many as 100 cars. While there are no specific rules to which cars are allowed to show up at OctoberBeast, general guidelines are that the vehicle should be at least 25 years old or of special interest. Everything is welcome, whether it runs or not, as OctoberBeast?s official motto has become ?Drive it, Tow it, Push it?Show it!?

Earlier this month, OctoberBeast had approximately 65 cars enter through Toyota?s parking lot, with no classes, awards, or particular arrangement of cars. For Toyota, it has become a social gathering of enthusiastic coworkers who might not otherwise mingle with one another in Toyota?s vast office space. They share their stories and just catch up with one another for the first time in a few months.

OctoberBeast 29 300x187 imageLawrence Keller of Toyota accessories and the torchbearer for OctoberBeast for the last five years, has said during the past 20 years, cars, trucks, dragsters, speedboats, antique strollers have been shown at OctoberBeast. One person even brought a 1940 Piper Cub airplane, which he had to disassemble, load into a truck, and reassemble on the show field. Some of the more memorable cars have been the two ultra-rare Toyota 2000GT sports cars from the company?s private collection, a Porsche Carrera GT, a ?32 Ford hot rod with a Lexus V-8 shoehorned into it, and a pair of original AC Shelby Cobras?289- and 427-cubic-inch engines, respectively.

Says Keller of OctoberBeast, ?This is not a one-man show, and this yearly event could not happen without the assistance and coordination of various departments within Toyota.?

?A special thanks to all the car nuts who go to the trouble to bring in and share their passion with the interested and the curious.?

And a special thanks to Lawrence Keller of Toyota for the photos and history of OctoberBeast.

It's Weird, Candidate Height Matters in Elections | Psychology Today

When a 5'9" political science professor (that would be me) talks with his 6'7" co-author (that would be Dave Schmitz), it is not surprising that the conversation can turn to the ?weird? fact that the taller candidate has won the popular vote in 67% of all U.S. presidential elections. While interesting water cooler conversation and often a tidbit dispensed by prognosticating political pundits, this oddity seems to be more than a statistical fluke and worthy of some explanation.?

But first, how do our current contenders measure up? Barack Obama is 6'1", and challenger Mitt Romney is 6?2?. Our argument, which is grounded in evolutionary theory, does not say that Romney will win because he is the tallest candidate. It suggests that we voters prefer our leaders in general to be tall. And the fact that both of these candidates are taller than the average U.S. male citizen, who is my size at 5'9", is completely consistent with this argument. Also consistent with this argument is the fact that Romney?s major Republican challengers Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, and Ron Paul each are 6'0" or taller.?

So why would we prefer taller leaders? Our explanation relies on evolutionary psychology, which suggests that human behavior is the result of not only people's environment, such as things they learn from their parents, but also long-term evolutionary forces, such as psychological mechanisms that evolved to solve our ancestors' problems regarding survival and reproduction. Although it may seem irrational in the modern context, we may prefer taller leaders because our ancestors who selected more formidable allies (height is a common cue for physical formidability) were more likely to survive and pass on related genes in their violent environment. In other words, when our ancestors had a big, strong friend who would help them acquire and protect resources (e.g., food, shelter, and territory), they had a relative advantage in terms of living longer and producing more children.?

Studies of all kinds of animals show that greater physical size and higher social rank go together. This relationship has been found in a wide range of nonhuman animals, from our closest relatives, chimpanzees, gorillas, and baboons, to African elephants, Red Deer, and even to varieties of birds and fish.?

In the realm of human animals, anthropologists measuring skeletons in pre-classical Greek and ancient Mayan graves found a clear association between greater physical stature and "political control" (those anthropologists have all the fun). Further, modern humans tend to perceive individuals with greater authority status as taller than they actually are and, conversely, to perceive taller individuals as having higher professional status. (This study was based on rating professors, and yes, as an average-height professor, this worries me a little). Research in a variety of countries also shows, among other advantages, that taller males make more money and get more job promotions. And finally, in politics specifically, winners of elections are perceived as being taller after than before the election, while losers suffer yet another indignity and are perceived as shorter.?

With this background research in mind, to test our argument about a preference for leaders with greater physical stature we conducted a study that took the perspective of followers (versus leaders). We gave our subjects, U.S. and international undergraduate students at different schools in different parts of the country, three tasks: draw the "ideal national leader," draw "the typical citizen," and, finally, draw a meeting of the leader and citizen. Because we expect people to prefer more physically formidable leaders, we predicted our subjects would tend to draw a taller leader meeting a shorter citizen, with height measured by the vertical size of the figures.?

In fact, that is what we found. More than twice as many subjects (64%) drew a taller leader than drew a taller citizen (31%). And remember the reference to the international students? We found similar patterns in their responses, which suggests the preference for leaders with greater physical stature not only exists in the U.S. but also in different cultures around the world. This is important evidence to evolutionary psychologists, because they argue that a universal behavior cannot be explained by people learning from their specific environment; therefore, evolutionary forces, not environmental-cultural forces, are the most likely explanation for the behavior.?

So we know this election?s crop of presidential candidates measures up, at least in these evolutionary terms, but let?s hope they also measure up when it comes to leading the country.?

Samsung ATIV S: Hands-on with Samsung's first Windows Phone 8 device (video)

Samsung ATIV S Handson with Samsung's first Windows Phone 8 device

It's taken its sweet time showing itself but we've finally got to handle Samsung's first Windows Phone 8 device, the ATIV S (not to be confused with the similarly-named Windows RT tablet). At Microsoft's launch event for its new mobile OS, the phone's 4.8-inch AMOLED display certainly helps to make the most of those colorful tiles -- this time around a higher resolution (1,280 x 720) screen kept everything looking sharp. Aside from the screen, the hardware doesn't pack a unibody build, but it does offer the power user both a 2,300 mAh battery and the microSD slot -- a combination that's looking pretty rare among debut Windows Phone 8 devices. On the other hand, Samsung's brought its (admittedly divisive) glossy plastic shell of its Android Galaxy phones, although there is some cosmetic differences. We take a tour of the hardware -- and that freshly minted OS -- after the break.

Hulk Hogan settles sex tape lawsuit with DJ

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) ? Former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan has settled a lawsuit with a disc jockey over a sex tape involving Hogan and the DJ's wife.

A statement by Hogan's publicist Monday says the terms of the settlement are confidential.

Hogan said in a lawsuit earlier this month that he had consensual sex with his best friend's wife, Heather Clem, six years ago in the Clems' home, but he didn't know he was being videotaped.

The disc jockey, Bubba the Love Sponge Clem, apologized to Hogan on Monday. Clem also said that he's convinced Hogan was unaware he was being filmed.

A lawsuit is still pending against the gossip website Gawker, which put excerpts of the video on its site.
