I'm Rebecca Lando.
I'm an award-winning writer, producer, editor and upcoming cookbook author based in New York City Los Angeles.

I'm also the Network Director at Nerdist Channel.

In 2009 I launched Working Class Foodies, a cooking show that creates affordable meals from local, seasonal, and/or sustainable ingredients. Working Class Foodies was a part of YouTube Next Chef 2011 and aired on NBC New York's Nonstop Foodies.

I wrote, produced, and edited FilmFan, an award-winning weekly movie review show, for MSN from 2010-2011.

The Working Class Foodies Cookbook will be published by Gotham Books in June 2013.

You can preorder it now on Amazon.

There will come a time when a sports star comes out of the closet and no one will care. Not the media. Not the internet. Not teammates. Nobody. But that will be a different kind of indifference. An accepting indifference.

Bet you can’t guess which cookbook these photos are from…

Be me reading an r/AskReddit thread where people are sharing paranormal experiences.

Be doing this late at night while your boyfriend walks the dogs.

Be interrupted by three quiet knocks on the door.

Be like …must be my imagination.

Be interrupted by three more quiet knocks on the door, this time reaaalllly sllooooow knocks.

Be very, very afraid to move.

Be desperately trying to write the whole thing off as your imagination when a voice on the other side of the front door says, “Hello? Are you there?”

Be freaking out with the certainty that you are about to die, when the voice on the other side of the door says, “Hello? It’s the Simply Thai Restaurant delivery man. Can you open the door?”

Be me, overcome with embarrassment as I sign the receipt for the boyfriend’s food and send the poor corporeal delivery guy on his way.

Get it while it lasts, folks. The movies of the future will be all digital, all the time.

Wow, really shocked that ALIEN isn’t much darker.

Also, no technological alarmism necessary. There already are just-as-beautiful macroscopic views of your favorite films in digital

Some have suggested that the apprehended suspect should be held as an enemy combatant under the law of war. I am not aware of any legal basis at this point for such a designation in this case. Under the law of war, we have the authority to detain individuals who join a hostile foreign force engaged in attacking the United States. The 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force authorizes such detention in the case of an individual who is a part of al Qaeda, the Taliban, or an associated force.
 
I am not aware of any evidence so far that the Boston suspect is part of any organized group, let alone al Qaeda, the Taliban, or one of their affiliates — the only organizations whose members are subject to detention under the Authorization for Use of Military Force, as it has been consistently interpreted by all three branches of our government. In the absence of such evidence I know of no legal basis for his detention as an enemy combatant. To hold the suspect as an enemy combatant under these circumstances would be contrary to our laws and may even jeopardize our efforts to prosecute him for his crimes.
