How to Change Your Namenew

There are lots of reasons you might want to change your name. Maybe you're running from the law. Or it could be because your hippie parents slapped you with the name Catnip Moonbeam. Or maybe you've gotten hitched and you've decided to take your new partner's last name. (Or conversely, you want to lose it after a divorce.) The steps to making it legal are surprisingly simple; in fact, the hardest part is deciding whether to make the change or not.

Video: How to Fry Chickennew

Martha Lou Gadsden's pink cinderblock restaurant has gotten quite a lot of buzz over the last year -- from The New York Times to Saveur -- but she's been serving soul food from her little kitchen for 28 years now. With the help of her daughter Debra, every weekday she churns out a small menu of homemade Southern fare, including everything from super-salty lima beans to pork chops to macaroni and cheese with a perfectly crispy crust. But most people go to Martha Lou's for the fried chicken.

Wine With Wordsnew

Time Warner struck again the other day. I’ve been having problems, but this was a neighborhood-wide outage, taking with it the land line (no biggie), the computer (much more of an issue) and, of course, the TV. Which meant no CSI, no Law and Order SVU, no Criminal Minds, Zombieland, or Warehouse 13. What’s a guy to do?

It worked like clockwork last season. As the San Antonio Spurs came out of a fourth-quarter timeout, 2 Unlimited's ubiquitous "Twilight Zone" would pound throughout the AT&T Center as a scoreboard barometer "measured" fans' applause.
