Wanna be a foodie
I'm sure the title sounds silly, lol. But i'm an average Joe that loves food, loves eating out. However i know next to nothing about good food and good places to eat. I wanna leave behind the TGI Fridays,cheesecake factory, PF CHANGS, and even mcdonalds routine....
I want to learn about different cuisines and great places to eat. So far the best places I've probably eaten are Rare Bar and Grill,shake shack(lol) and Cafe Habana in the city.
My birthday is coming up soon and i want to eat out like a true foodie would. The problem is i dont have a clue in the world where to go. Normally i would think "applebees or red lobster" but i want to make a change this year.
I'm pretty much a blank page right now. I've passed by Balthazar and that placed seemed intriguing. The problem is reading the menu is almost like chinese to me. I don't understand any of the dishes etc... I wouldnt have a clue what to order even if i went there....
So anyway i'm here on Chowhound to learn to be a foodie. For starters, can some someone give me some tips on balthazar?
re: thew
I tend to like foods that are seasoned very well. I like sweet and salty flavors, i also like spicy.
I'm not a fan of fish, i like beef and chicken the best, i rarely get a chance to have pork or lamb etc..
My comfort zone is probably french fries and a burger or roasted chicken with rice and beans. I also like typical italian food but i'm so bored with italian
Overall i'm so inexperienced that its hard for me to say what i do and dont like, my diet has nto had much diversity.. I'm pretty much a blank page at this point lol
I haven't been to Balthazar, but I have been to Pastis. From the looks of the menu (menupages.com), much of the menu is fairly standard French brasserie fare - steak frites (probably NY strip sirloin cut), salad nicoise (salad greens, boiled egg, nicoise olives, french green beans and boiled red potatoes), beet salad, chicken liver, frisee aux lardons - these dishes are all fairly standard at other French brasserie type places. THere's also a smattering of nods to other cuisines (linguine - italian), ceviche (peruvian), chicken club (american). Balthazar is probably just a fine introduction as you venture out from the Olive Garden.
A couple of comments on dishes that you may not be familiar with -
Steak tartare is raw ground beef mixed with seasoning and egg yolk. So, if you're not inclined to eat raw meat, don't order it.
Ceviche is raw fish or seafood that's been "cooked" with lime or some other acidic liquid - this kills the bacteria and is actually quite safe to eat. It's healthy, light and quite tasty. It's usually a nice appetizer for the start of a meal.
Salad nicoise is a classic french salad, and it's usually dressed with a light vinaigrette. It's classically served with canned tuna fish, but New York restaurants tend to serve it with seared tuna - i.e. the tuna will be RARE, pretty much raw in the middle. Personally, that's how I prefer - tuna has a wonderful taste, and it's such a lean (low fat) protein, that it will dry out if you overcook - i.e. cook beyond rare.
Moules frites - mussels usually cooked in some thyme, shallots and white wine and it's served with fries.
Macaroni au gratin - a fancy way of describing mac n' cheese.
Duck confit - it's usually a duck leg that is cooked in its own fat. It results in a very tender and tasty duck leg.
Brandade de morue - this is salt cod - cod that's been salted and dried, that is cooked with milk / cream (reduces the saltiness somewhat) and cooked with either sliced potatoes or mashed potatoes, which is either like a salt cod and potato lasagna or a salt cod and potato shepherds pie, with the salt cod mixed in.
Everything else on the menu is much more straightforward, so you should explore freely and order whatever strikes your fancy.
But to be a foodie, well, I think that's about loving food, but also about being interested in exploring and seeking food that is authentic and delicious. Most foodies out there also tend to be interested in knowing something about their food - whether cheese is made from goats milk or cow or sheeps, whether the beef is grass-fed or grain, etc. There's a lot that you can learn if you're interested. But that shouldn't stop you from just going out there trying new and delicious foods.
And it isn't that Balthazar isn't perfectly decent, it's just that there's a lot more out there that is much more adventurous, delicious and well worth exploring. At any rate, hope you enjoy Balthazar.
Learning to be a foodie is like learning to be. It's something innate and as someone who is concerned with food and seeking out the best, it sounds like you're already a foodie. The problem it seems, is you want to learn to be a gourmet. To do that, I can only say eat. Try new things. Read the regulars on here to find someone whose tastes intrigue you and visit the restaurants they talk up. Broaden your horizons beyond Italian and burger. The more you expose yourself to ingredients and foods, the sooner they will become familiar and you will think tartare as comprehensible as a burger.
If you like highly seasoned, sweet and salty flavors, you might enjoy trying a Thai restaurant. If you're dead-set on Balthazar, try googling menu items to find out what they are or pair a few new appetizers with your steak frites. The most important thing is to get out there and eat!
re: JungMann
Oryan, I would suggest going to a place that offers small plates also know as tapas. You get to try many different flavors and cooking styles without breaking the bank. I would suggest you go to Kuma Inn. You will get a chance to sample lots of different asian flavors and decide what you like and dont. Then when you find a flavor or dish you like you can build from there. Also try Pipa or Alto for a more spanish flavored meal. Good Luck.
Pardon the interruption Folks, please keep in mind ORyan is specifically asking about Balthazar, and also would like tips on other restaurants that may be of interest, so please do keep the focus of your replies on recommending specific restaurants. If you would like to extend the conversation to cuisine in general or how to learn and appreciate food, please take that discussion to the General Topics boad.
Thanks for helping to keep the focus of the Manhattan board on where to find great food and drink in Manhattan.
Balthazar is good and is always a bustling scene. The menu shouldn't intimidate you. With enough experience or even reading, you will learn what french bistros specialize in. To give you a general, for a bistro, here is the types of food I think of:
Cassoulet - a white bean stew with pork sausages, duck confit and other meats
Steak frites - steak and fries (ideally an onglet which is the french word for hanger steak)
Steak tartare - raw chopped beef (usually filet) with cornichons, mustard, egg, shallot, mustard
Duck confit - duck leg/thigh slowly cooked in its own fat.
At Balthazar, I happen to love the duck shephards pie, which is a duck stew covered in mashed potatoes. Sort of like a pot pie with a potato crust instead of pastry crust. If you want to ask specific questions about certain menu items, fire away and we can answer them.
re: ORyan
Well, for carbs, though you say you're bored with Italian, Italian would be a good choice. And I expect you'll find that you've barely scratched the surface of what Italian food can be at the sort of restaurants (i.e. Olive Garden) that you're trying to leave behind. For moderately priced, interesting Italian, you might try Crispo on 14th St. Or Otto, which is one of Batali's more modestly priced places. I would stay away from Little Italy for the most part.
re: ORyan
1) Go to chinatown
2) Go to Banh Mi Saigon bakery for a delicious Vietnamese sandwich on very good bread (trying to appeal to the carb-loving). Order the number 1 to start, i think it costs 3.75. You can, and should, get it as spicy as you like.
3) Go to Mei Li Wah for roast pork buns. The savory pork in the middle of the delicious sweet bread (more carbs!) is sort of like the pork in the banh mi, but the bun is more like a sweet snack (or desert) than the sandwich. At $.80, bring an extra home for later.
I think you will love both. I have had much success at both places with people who would not normally walk in. Enjoy.

re: ORyan
How about Ramen noodles? Lots of carbs. You can try Ippudo, Ramen Setagaya, Minca and some other places, all in the East Village. Ramen doesn't cost a lot and is really satisfying. Japanese curries are also easy on the palate since they're pretty mild. You can try Katsuhama in midtown where you can get chicken and pork cutlets which comes in a huge bowl with rice and curry sauce for around $10, there's also curry-ya in the east village, same sort of deal.
How old are you and where are you from? Just wondering why you ate at all those rubbish chains and now decide to improve your life drastically. Kudos, in any case.
If you want something very safe but much better than your usual, go to a steakhouse. Peter Luger, Wolfgang's, etc. you can search the boards, people argue over what is best but any of the top 3 or 5 will be or rather should be good enough to represent that genre.
Hmm, other places with safe menus as a bridge. Gramercy Tavern?
For pizza, Difara, Una Pizza, possibly some other I have not tried but most are not worth it.
There is great sushi if you check the boards, not sure you are into that.
Maybe you could upgrade your burger choices(though Shake Shack uses very good meat,it just doesn't end up as lovely as it should), DB Bistro Moderne(y, that one is expensive), Peter Luger has one at lunch, Shorty's .32 and I hear the Spotted Pig's is good though I try to keep it plain. Tons of others, most probably at least good but overrated. You still will be upgrading.
Forget Balthazar. That is the only tip you need about that.
Obviously, there is a HUGE number of places to reply with, hopefully, I have given some and I am sure others will throw in a bit more of the specifics but I think I am done. I have droned on long enough.
Oh, life without pork and lamb and fish? You really do need to open up.
Sorry vegans.
The best advice I could give you is to try as many new things as you possibly can. We live in one of if not the greatest culinary city in the world. There are so many options and there is nothing more enjoyable than a great meal and trying new foods in my opinion.
Just keep an open mind and you will find that there are so many great things out there. Once you start to get accustomed to new things you wont be able to stop! I became a big foodie over the past 2 years and my knowledge of food has grown tremendously. It is an awesome hobby and I hope you enjoy it.

Which of the following first goals for United is the best?
Ronaldo v Portsmouth, 1 Nov 2003
Rooney v Fenerbahce, 28 Sep 2004
Nani v Spurs, 26 Aug 2007
Tevez v Chelsea, 23 Sep 2007
Carrick v Aston Villa, 13 Jan 2007
Hargreaves v Fulham, 1 Mar 2008
Poll: Vote here for your favourite
Sir Alex Ferguson was surely right... Danny Welbeck will remember his first goal for United for the rest of his life.
Of course, that may still have been true had the ball just bounced off his backside or bobbled from his big toe into the bottom corner of an empty net. But the fact Welbeck's first goal was a memorable strike worthy of any occasion makes it all the more special.
Danny, and Rafael the previous week, are not alone at United in that respect - as our free video shows, quite a number of United's established first-team stars have opened their accounts in style. Take Cristiano Ronaldo - we've grown very accustomed to enjoying his stunning free-kicks, to the point we've had two in one game this weekend. But when he blasted home from a deadball situation in November 2003, it was still a wonderful novelty.
Our video also features first goals from Rooney, Carrick, Nani, Tevez and Hargreaves. But which one's your favourite? Vote now at www.manutd.com/polls.

7/12/2010 Update: This Alpine found no bidders at the $20k opening bid. It ha now been re-listed with a $1000 opening bid and unknown reserve.
From 7/10/2010:
This 1976 Alpine A310 has pure lines and looks striking in French Blue. Interestingly, the car is shown along side the Renault R8 Gordini clone that we featured almost a month ago on the opposite coast, so we are suspecting that the seller purchased that car and is now selling off the Alpine. He claims to have imported this A310 from Europe only a year ago, and we like this early version better than the later flared and winged A310s. Find it here on eBay in Groton, Massachusetts.
After the color and the 3-lug wheels the similarities between the two models begins to fade. The blue looks a bit more natural on the R8, and with some overspray on the serial number tag it is unclear whether that was the original color on the A310. The seller offers a walk-around and a standing start in the video below.
The front end design of these cars is everything the 80's IROC Camaro wishes it was, with a handful of covered rectangular lights and crisp fiberglass angles. The front plate, French metal badge, and cheap-looking auxiliary lights need to be scrubbed immediately, and only French lighting considered if any at all.
The engine has had some sort of fuel injection added, and those look like individual Electromotive coils up near the bulkhead. Not much detail is given in the description, but the engine and engine bay both look very clean. If the modifications add reliability and power we are all for them.
The seller guesses that less than 30 A310's exist in the USA. We have featured three other examples in the States so far, so that number feels about right. They are odd cars with the rear-hung V6, but when set up properly have an appealing French look and odd-ball appeal. They will never match the A110 in our book, but they are cheaper, more powerful, and a sign of a later time.
Music !!!!! Viva La France !!!!
The Car was sold to a gentleman in Georgia. Come see,
Alpines at the Glen in 2010!!!
Bring all Alpines!!!! Alpines at the Glen in 2010!!!!!
And plan on bringing it to Watkins Glen, Fall Vintage Festival September 10-12!!!
Dear Serge,
Just because no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
Your friend,
Dear Alpine,
Just because some people bought Chevy Monzas doesn't mean they're good.
Your friend,
Somebody buy the car, and bring it to Watkins Glen in September!!! So the color is a bit……different, isn't owning a French car different? Generally, the A310 is a good performer, and more practical than some exotics. It is a quite distinctive in looks, and with this shade of blue, the new owner, will always have questions asked. Also, with the fuel injected motor, the drivability and performance should be better than original. OK, ok, as much as I love A310s, I too can't get over that color. Maybe it appeals to females…..French females!
For around the price being asked for this substandard, crudely customized A310, a Matra Bagheera or Murena sounds a whole lot more appealing, and would still have a pedigree of sorts, and you wouldn't have as much of a Bradley GT look either.
The comment about "Avatar" brings up a thought here: If you're a Na'vi, then by all means buy this car and tell BaT about it when you take delivery. If you're not, then it's OK by me to buy it as long as you take the fracking Pep Boys auxiliary lights and gigantic ugly "France" badge off
For compairison purposes, there is another Alpine A310 on Anamera
from Holland.
Dunno, there is something very Bradley GT-kit car-Chevy Monza-Citroen-Mangusta pieced together design look of these cars.
One whif of that moldy carpeting of the Dutch one is enough to make you
run for the hills, ur uh, dunes.
I think that's the best-looking French car I've ever seen.
Talk about damning with faint praise…
Is the owner fond of Avatar?
20K is a lot of French bread.
The blue colour in the original listing looks a lot better, so doubt the fluorescence of the cars in these pictures. Must be the sun or the camera or both.
Maybe the Alpine would be better with yellow Cibies at the front? Didn't these cars used to break in half as well?
But I agree, why swap an Alpine for a R8? Swap it for a R5 Turbo II, yes, but this one surprises me too. With all the stickers on the car, it must have been an Alpine club member's pride and joy.
Cool car but listing could use more photos.
Grace Jones' disco-ized La Vie en Rose would be more period correct music!
I've liked these ever since I spied a few when I lived in Europe in the late 70's. For the price though, there are a quite a few other 70's mid/rear-engine cars ahead on my wishlist.
Yeah, the color. Has the subtle aesthetic of Indian Jewelry.
Haha, Normally when I see cars parked on the road outside a beautiful home, I assume its a prop whose owner is not involved in the vehicle sale, but based on the color of the Rav4/CRV/tiny suv I'd say they all go together.
This A310 is interesting. It appears to have more than a respray, and engine swap. Wish there were more interior pictures. Hopefully, the car could come the September 9-11, Vintage Races at Watkins Glen, NY, where there will gathering. There are 7 Alpines expected.
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
Both cars in the same blue …… very much off the original French (Gordini) blue ! The paint must have been on sale at the Home Depot, or else the owner did not do his homework !
Do not like the modifications on the Alpine at all (only in Americaaah-ha-ha) !
Both cars have no collectable value IMHO. May be they drive fine, so who cares !
Much better looking cars in person. Does the miniSUV in the background wish it was French Blue?
Did you mean to enter this number as a bid? If so please use the bidding box above.

Alaska's Congressional Delegation United In Reopening Government
Alaska's Congressional delegation was united in voting Wednesday for the legislation that ended the shutdown of the federal government.
Senator Lisa Murkowski spoke during a floor speech prior to the vote that reopened the Federal Government
Murkowski: "There's a deal, and that deal should give America hope but, it doesn't get us out of the mess that we're in. I think that we're still at pretty low approval ratings its going to take a while for us to rebuild any credibility, but I think that the effort to rebuild credibility begins when we honestly and earnestly roll up our sleeves, tackle the big problems, recognize that we have to do it together rather than to retreat into our respective corners and just hope we can get it right without talking to one another."
Murkowski collaborated with Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire in advancing a solution that eventually drew the support of 11 additional Senators of both parties.
Alaska Junior Senator Mark Begich said it was high time for Congress to put aside partisan politics and do the right thing.
Congressman Don Young said he's witnessed 18 government shutdowns during his time of service and there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides of the aisle. He added that it's time for Congress to get back to work and put the nation back on a sound economic track.

- Travel safety concerns: feedback from international students in the
- Authors: Ying Lu, Xiaoxiao Fu, Howard Adler
Pages: 211 - 226
Abstract: The purpose of the study was to understand the travel safety concerns of international students in the USA and how the concerns influence their travel decision-makings. Through the analysis of textual data from 20 in-depth interviews, the study unearthed major safety concerns of international students in the USA. Results showed that the students demonstrated various safety concerns about transportation, accommodation, food and beverages, other travellers and selection of destinations. The students make a conscious effort to estimate risks and protect the physical body in an unfamiliar physical and cultural environment. They also use existing cultural beliefs and knowledge about destinations to determine if a place is either safe or risky to visit. The study yields theoretical implications for travel safety studies and practical ones for the travel and tourism industry.

- Rationality of social entrepreneurs in tourism: Max Weber and the
sociology of tourism development
- Authors: Makarand Mody, Jonathon Day
Pages: 227 - 244
Abstract: Despite increasing recognition of its contribution to development in many parts of the world, academic research about social entrepreneurship remains in its infancy. There has been little inquiry into the rationale for social entrepreneurship, despite its potential to clarify many conceptual ambiguities associated with this emerging phenomenon. In response to such a gap, the present article advances a compelling framework from classic sociology, that of Max Weber's typology of rationality, as a means to explain the motivations of social entrepreneurs in the tourism industry. It emphasises the concepts of formal and substantive rationality, which are Weber's most significant contributions to the understanding of human behaviour. The article also presents methodological considerations for the use of Weber's typology. A constructivism paradigm and the narrative approach to inquiry are suggested as most readily aligned with Weber's own methodological stance towards sociological explanation.

- Towards a better understanding of the relationships between tourism
involvement and place attachment: evidence from rural tourism
destinations in China
- Authors: Jinbo Jiang, Xiaoxu Wu, Ying Lu
Pages: 245 - 260
Abstract: Involvement theory and place attachment theory have been widely applied to the research of tourism products. However, the two theories were analysed separately, which limited our understanding of product development in travel and tourism. By integrating perspectives from both involvement theory and place attachment theory, this paper investigated three rural tourism destinations in Guangzhou, China. Results showed that tourists' involvement in rural tourism had different levels of influences on place attachment. The research advanced tourism product development theories by providing a better understanding of the relationships between tourism involvement and place attachment. Practically, the research provided implications for tourism destinations and marketers in rural tourism product development.

guides' performance
- Authors: Wei Hu, Geoffrey Wall
Pages: 261 - 274
Abstract: Previous examinations of guiding activities were made largely based on visitor satisfaction. This study explores them from a holistic perspective under which not only visitor satisfaction, but also the meaning to local resource conservation and economic promotion are considered. By applying interpretive guiding principles, this paper examines the guiding performance in Hainan, China. It is found that a large gap exists between what guides should and can do and what they actually do to promote the realisation of a sustainable destination. The low professionalism of the guides and the desire for instant money-making are the main issues inhibiting the adoption of interpretive guiding, calling for enhanced tour guide training and management.

- Risk and transgression on holiday: 'new experiences' and the
pied piper of excessive consumption
- Authors: Daniel Briggs, Sébastien Tutenges
Pages: 275 - 298
Abstract: When British youth spend holiday abroad, they tend to engage in increased consumption of alcohol, drugs, violence and unprotected sex - collectively known as 'risk' behaviours. While numerous epidemiological studies have documented the extent of these risk behaviours in places like the Balearic Islands, few have taken a phenomenological approach with the participants who go there - to find out how they experience and attribute meaning to their transgressions on holiday. Our research reports on this matter and is based on ethnographic data collected in 2009, 2010 and 2011. We argue that individual and group holiday ambitions for a 'blow out' are actively complemented by aggressive commercial forces, which seek to capitalise on consumer spending, thus assisting in the production of risk. We show how this works by reporting from the resort of San Antonio, Ibiza.

Has anyone had quadralase laser?

Has anyone had quadralase laser on face? Did it work? Was it worth the cost, What was the cost?
Comments (2)
I have been doing Laser skin resurfacing for more than 15 years and have been using the Quadralase almost exclusively for the last 2 years.I am convinced it is not the quality of the specific device but the quality and experience of the doctor using the device which is the most important consideration in Laser resurfacing treatment. The Quadralase is a very versatile CO2 Laser device offering the best of both traditional resurfacing modalities-Laser "ablative"resurfacing -(true full Laser dermabrasion),and fractional CO2 resurfacing. I always customize the treatments for individual patients to match their expectations for improvemnent,ability to tolerate "downtime",& budget, with a treatment plan that often involves a combination of ablative and fractional resurfacing aspects to achieve optimal results. For example we can do full ablative resurfacing around the mouth for deep vertical lip lines and blend the entire facial skin with fractional resurfacing if the cheeks do not need as aggressive a treatment.Light fractional treatments can be done around eyelids with rapid turnaround (see Dr Katz's post on the "Madonna lift")and it an be used safely off the face- ie neck,chest, hands and arms as well. We have gotten excellent results with no significant problems to date. GNGoldberg,MD Tucson,AZ

*strums guitar* doctor who is the name of the show not the character
So I had the best idea for a date. A SWEATER SHOPPING DATE.
First you get coffee. Then you go to thrift shops and buy sweaters. Then you bring the sweaters home and wash them. While they are in the washer/dryer, you make out and stuff. Then, you take the sweaters out of the dryer and you put them on and you get all cozy and eat snacks and watch movies in your cozy clean sweaters! And you kiss a lot. The end.
why won't you come with us?
there must always be a stark at winterfell
So I met a boy and we went on a date and he's super cute and funny AND HE IS A FALL OUT BOY FAN so basically I'm going to marry him okay bye

Is trucking in for a transformation? Many believe that long-haul trucking will become less important as regional operations grow and intermodal takes over more long-haul freight, and that will change the type of heavy-duty tractor bought by many trucking companies.

Coming up: another "non-event" for brakes? That's what Phase Two of new federal stopping-distance requirements will be for truck operators, according to people we talked with. Stronger, higher-performance brakes on certain vehicles won't even cost much more in most cases. But like Phase One two years ago, which was hardly noticed by truckers, Phase Two represents a lot of work for brake makers and truck builders.

Independent game development studio, SpinFall, released Medieval Math Battle this month, an educational game where players master math facts and wield a sword in order to protect a medieval kingdom from villainous foes.
"We were inspired to create the game when our son came home from 3rd grade one day announcing he had to learn multiplication facts. Like many children, he loathes having to memorize anything, especially when it involves flash cards," says SpinFall founder, Franklin Lyons. "With Medieval Math Battle, he can study and play at the same time. Which he loves."
The educational game begins with the most basic levels of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, but increases in difficulty as children master the basic facts. With a hint of danger, gold to earn, suits of armor to wear, and bad guys to defeat, children all over the world will be excited about practicing math.
"The game is great for not only kids, but also for parents and teachers too," says Lyons. "The report card feature clearly displays which facts the child has mastered, and which ones they still need to work on. Plus, the timer keeps track of how long they played, and will reward the child for practicing for at least fifteen minutes each day."
Because basic computational skills are so vital when solving more difficult math problems, having a strong foundation in the basics gives students an advantage. And playing Medieval Math Battle makes acquiring that advantage a no-brainer for everyone involved.
Medieval Math Battle 1.01 is Free and available worldwide through the App Store in the Games category. It is also available for Google Play, Windows Phone 8, and the Amazon Appstore for Android. It is coming soon to various child focused Android tablets.

Miami Dolphins practice report: Injuries at center lead to yet more issues with snaps
- 11:27 am Thursday, July 31st, 2014 by Hal Habib
The recurring problem everyone is tired of hearing about is one the Dolphins are just as tired of seeing — Thursday's closed practice brought a few more botched snaps from center.
Nate Garner saw most of the time at center. One shotgun snap rolled to quarterback Ryan Tannehill and another forced him to fall on the ball for a loss of about 5 yards.
Miami Dolphins talking points: Jarvis Landry, OL, Mike Wallace/Ryan Tannehill in spotlight as camp opens
- 4:47 am Friday, July 25th, 2014 by Hal Habib
July 25, 2014, 8 a.m., at Nova Southeastern University is when and where the buildup to the 2014 NFL season begins in earnest for the Miami Dolphins. It's still a long way to the regular-season opener Sept. 7 against New England, but here are a few things we should be watching for during training camp:
1. The offensive line: The Dolphins will line up against the Pats with an entirely new front thanks to the injury to center Mike Pouncey and, well, you're all well aware of what went on last year, which is why guys such as Branden Albert and [More]
Miami Dolphins' Mike Pouncey and Knowshon Moreno open up training camp on PUP list
- 6:29 pm Thursday, July 24th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Dolphins center Mike Pouncey and running back Knowshon Moreno were placed on the preseason physically unable to perform list on Thursday, the eve of Miami's return to training camp.
Players can be taken off the PUP list at any time during the preseason. But if a player remains on the list at the end of the preseason, he is eligible for the regular season PUP list — a realistic scenario for Pouncey.
Pouncey, a Pro Bowl center in 2013, had hip surgery last month that could sideline him for several more months. If he's placed on the regular season PUP list, he has to sit out a minimum of six games but the team can fill his roster spot while he's out. The earliest he could return is Week 8 in Jacksonville (Miami has a bye week in Week 5).
Man, woman claim they were hit by Dolphins' Mike Pouncey, brother Maurkice at South Beach club
- 11:59 am Saturday, July 12th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Miami Beach police are investigating claims that Dolphins center Mike Pouncey and his twin brother, Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey, hit a man at a South Beach club early this morning.
Ricky Vasquez, a South Florida man who calls himself an event host, stylist and socialite, went on social media this morning alleging that he was beat up by the star football players at Cameo at 4:20 a.m.
Miami Beach police spokesman Sgt. Bobby Hernandez told the Palm Beach Post that the claim is being investigated but that the Pounceys haven't yet been identified by police.
"There was some type of altercation that occurred inside of the nightclub," Hernandez said. "At this time we have not confirmed or identified the Pouncey brothers as being involved. A report has been made by the alleged victim. This all occurred at about 4:20 and we are currently investigating."
I just got jumped/beat up/bashed by 4 bouncers and the Pouncey Twins at Cameo. Today is July 12, 2014… http://t.co/4kaCycDvM8

Vasquez said he didn't know who the Pounceys were prior to the fight and that he received 10 stitches from the altercation and had a chipped tooth.
A woman on Instagram, who goes by the name PrettyMoney_MMG on various social media platforms and calls herself "Miami's top club and Internet promoter," wrote that she was punched in the face by Maurkice Pouncey after trying to stop him and Mike from beating up Vasquez.
Mike Pouncey injury: Can Dolphins win with five new OL starters? It's happened in the NFL before
- 6:00 am Tuesday, June 24th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
If Dolphins center Mike Pouncey misses a majority of Miami's games after undergoing hip surgery, the Dolphins could end up in some rare company.
An analysis by the Palm Beach Post found that since 2000, only three NFL teams have had a starting lineup that for the majority of the season featured five completely different players from the previous season.
Miami may not have to join that group. Pouncey may miss just six games or less and the Dolphins would instead be one of 22 teams since 2000 to start four new offensive line starters for a majority of the season. That was the plan before Pouncey's injury.
But it's looking like the Dolphins will at least open the season with five players who either didn't start for Miami last year or only started as an injury/suspension replacement player.
Here's a look at the three teams since 2000 that had a completely revamped line from the previous year.
Two of the three occurrences happened in 2004 and with very different results.
Cleveland went from 5-11 in 2003 to 4-12 in 2004. The Browns started the year with only four new starters before right tackle Ryan Tucker injured his knee seven games into the season.
San Diego, however, went from 4-12 in 2003 to 12-4 in 2004 and may forever be the shining example of how everything can go right with a new offensive line.
Hip surgery could sideline Dolphins' Mike Pouncey for three months; RB Moreno also needs surgery
- 4:57 pm Monday, June 23rd, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
The Dolphins' offensive line makeover will begin without their Pro Bowl center.
Mike Pouncey underwent hip surgery on Monday and could miss more than a third of the season, a source told the Palm Beach Post.
Newly-acquired running back Knowshon Moreno also faces surgery. He will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee this week, according to ESPN. Moreno is expected to miss the first couple of weeks of training camp.
While Moreno might be back in time to still compete for a starting job, Pouncey's injury could be a major setback for Miami.
The Dolphins spent the offseason trying to rebuild an offensive line that allowed a NFL-high 58 sacks last year.
Pouncey was the only returning starter from last year's team and is widely considered one of the NFL's top centers.
Pro Football Talk said Pouncey suffered a significant labrum tear during offseason practices.
A source told the Post that Pouncey had a nagging injury throughout offseason practices but the team did not believe it was serious. Pouncey participated in last week's mini-camp and lined up at center for Thursday's spring scrimmage.
But once the team discovered the injury, they decided surgery was the best option for Pouncey's long term health.
Miami Dolphins open mini-camp with questions at OL, QB, RB and LB
- 6:00 am Tuesday, June 17th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
The Dolphins open their three day mandatory mini-camp this morning at 10:30. It is closed to the public but open to the media so follow the Daily Dolphin and Twitter for live updates.
Here are the Dolphins top questions heading into minicamp.
How much better is the offensive line?
Miami's offensive line can't get worse after last year's debacle which included a NFL-high 58 sacks allowed and a running game that ranked 26th in the NFL. But the Dolphins are hoping for more than a small improvement after they made the line their top priority in both free agency and the draft.
Pittsburgh's Maurkice Pouncey becomes NFL's highest paid center; will Miami's Mike Pouncey surpass him?
- 11:02 am Thursday, June 12th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
For all the negative headlines Miami center Mike Pouncey has received the last year, he still remains one of the NFL's top centers.
And in a year he could become the highest paid center.
Mike's twin brother, Pittsburgh center Maurkice Pouncey, became the NFL's highest paid center today according to media reports. Maurkice Pouncey reportedly received a 5-year $44 million deal.
Maurkice came in the NFL one season before Mike so they are a year apart in contracts. The Dolphins just exercised their fifth-year option on Mike, so he will be up for a mega deal next year.
Mike and Maurkice are twins both [More]
Pouncey's brother says Mike is being tortured over Dolphins locker room harassment scandal
- 2:38 pm Wednesday, June 4th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Life has changed for Dolphins center Mike Pouncey since he was cited in the locker room harassment scandal and labeled a bully.
He's the only instigator remaining on the team (Richie Incognito and John Jerry are both gone). The accuser, Jonathan Martin, is also gone.
Pouncey hasn't said much publicly, but his twin brother, Steelers center Maurkice Pouncey, spoke out to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review.
Maurkice, who is returning from a torn ACL injury this year, seemed especially offended that the NFL has ordered that Pouncey take a psychological test before he can play again.
"I'm really, really close with him, and for them to [More]
Time for Mike Pouncey to lead Miami Dolphins — and sound like a leader
- 12:54 pm Wednesday, May 28th, 2014 by Hal Habib
Mike Pouncey says he's not looking back on 2013. That it's all about 2014. You know, looking forward.
And all that stuff. (See story, video here)
Don't we all wish we could? Nobody wants to think about an 8-8 season that ended with a whimper, minus a playoff berth, and, oh yes, included a locker-room fiasco that made everything preceding it in this sentence secondary.
So yes, let's get a fresh start, one that never, ever includes the words "bully" and "Incognito" and "Martin" and "Ted Wells." Let's do what the NFL promotes every September and Get Back to Football.
Problem is, there's a reason history books exist. One should never turn the page without first learning from it. [More]

With his first child due next month, surfing legend Andy Irons was found dead in a Dallas hotel room yesterday morning. He was 32.
The three-time world champion was scheduled to return home to Hawaii, but reportedly felt sick and booked the room in Texas for a night. An employee found him in bed around 10 a.m. local time.
While an official cause of death has not been determined, the surfer's family released a statement saying, "[Andy] had reportedly been battling with dengue fever, a viral disease."
According to the police reports, cops found bottles of alprazolam (the generic version of Xanax) and zolpidem (the generic version of Ambien) on tables near the bed.

Arya Idiga
Arya Idiga is a Hindu community of people concentrated mainly in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and other parts of India. Idigas were involved in soma and Ayurvedic medicine developers in ancient days who are classified as Somavanshi Kshatriyas. In coastal areas of Karnataka, we are known by various names such as Billava, Namadhari, Deevaru, Halepaika, Namadhari naik and Thiyya. In some parts of Karanataka we are also called deevaru which means islanders. Our main profession were toddy tapping, brewing arrack etc, but now only few people are in this traditional job. Ours is one of the progressive communities of Karnataka.
The word Idiga or Ediga is 'people of Eda' or Ida believed to an ancient Kannada name for Sri Lanka in one of the source. The word Deevaru might have come from the Sanskrit word Dweep means island which again denotes the island nation of Sri lanka. Another theory is that the word Eda or Ida is derived from archaic kannada word ira for Toddy.
Our population is said to be about 40,00,000. Mainly located in Bangalore, Chikmagalur, Chitradurga, Shimoga, Uttara Kannada, Udupi, Dakshina Kannada, Hassan, Mysore and Tumkur districts. 'Yellamma thaayi' is the community deity. The temples of Devi Yallamma also known as Shree Renuka Devi is situated on a hill near Soundatti Taluka in Belgavi District & on Chandragutti hill in Soraba Taluka in Shimoga District of Karnataka.

December 15th was the beginning of trade season — the buyer's remorse bonanza for whoever threw too much money around during free agency this summer — their wares are now available to be someone else's problem. Get it line.
A quarter of the way through the season, everyone pretty much has an idea what they have, what they need, and what they need to get rid of. What does that mean for the Wolves now that Derrick Williams is gone? Crickets.
At least until Chase Budinger and Rony Turiaf return, then maybe they could move a redundant hustle, defender type (Dante Cunningham?) or trigger happy bricklayer (Alexey Shved? J.J. Barea?) But don't hold your breath. It's the Wolves-old adage of improving from within. (Remember when Rasho Nesterovic was going to mature into a low-post presence big enough to… never mind.)
Tim Faklis at Canis Hoopus sums it up…
This year, the Timberwolves were one of the first teams this year to make a move, trading Derrick Williams to Sacramento for defensive specialist Luc Richard Mbah a Moute. The trade not only parted the Wolves and their No. 2 overall pick from just two years ago, it also may have marked the end of the Wolves' trade aspirations this season.
Of course, that's never definitive in the NBA, especially with a team like that Wolves. At 11-12 and coming off a tough loss a night ago to the Boston Celtics, they could certainly use a pick-me-up in their rotation. The problem with getting that done via trade comes from the team's lack of assets.
It's fairly simple. In order to execute a trade in the NBA between two competent front offices (which, in fairness, doesn't happen all the time), you generally need to give up a player of value to receive one.
The Wolves will also be re-signing Ricky Rubio and will likely work tore-sign Kevin Love. The Wolves will need money for that. In order to keep their money, and still have space to sign someone with the MLE in the coming offseason. It seems unlikely Flip Saunders will want to make any moves for another substantial contract, and odds are the only type of player they'd go for right now is an expiring contract.

Dumbledore: Such a good example he made the list twice :D
My God, the description of The Emperor was the greatest I've ever read.
Deadpool Fan
Senator Palpatine of Star Wars is an eminently Reasonable Authority Figure. He's on the ball in terms of senate politics in episode I and advises queen Amidala on how to shake up the senate to help Naboo. In episode II he's clued in enough to send senator Amidala to safety, and in III he's very supportive of Anakin's ambitions, all while helping lead The Republic in a war against the clearly evil Confederacy. It's thanks to his timely wisdom that the treacherous Jedi rebellion was put down so easily, and in reward the senate made him the first emperor of the Galactic Empire.
I'm sorry, while I admit its very funny the example doesn't really count. One should probably say its an inversion or a subversion. That an evil character looks like the example. I just don't think ity fits properly, even if it is funny.
: Let me jot that down as an inversion on the main page then.

Half of me wanted to preface that first sentence up above this with "for better or worse", but then the other half didn't allow it because I don't believe that other people's cowardice when it comes to telling me something I may not want to hear is a personality fault. I'm not really that scary.

"I've been asked if I think there will ever come a time when all people will come together. I would like to think there will. All we can do is hope and dream and work toward that end. And that's what I've tried to do all my life." Gordon Parks (1912-2006).
Gordon Parks was an extraordinary man who led an extraordinary life. Few individuals will ever match his range of interests and caliber of work. This humble tumblr post certainly cannot give the man his due. All I would say to you, dear reader, is that Gordon Parks lived a life that proves anything is possible.
The esteemed Howard Greenberg gallery along with the Gordon Parks Foundation are currently hosting two exhibits celebrating his work in this centennial year of his birth. The shows end soon on October 27th.
Since it is frankly impossible to represent, here, the breadth of Gordon Parks oeuvre in a couple of his photographs, I've chosen these two images of Ingrid Bergman on Stromboli (filming Stromboli) as one tiny example of Parks' genius. Given the scandalous nature of the circumstances surrounding Bergman and Rossellini at the time, Parks cooly captures the psychological intensity—something he would do again and again throughout a breathtaking and audacious career. He was a Master photographer and polymath, a shining beacon of possibility, and one of my heroes. —Lane Nevares
"The camera is in itself a frontier, a barrier of sorts that one is constantly breaking down so as to get closer to the subject…" — Martine Franck
Martine Franck has been a member of Magnum Photos since 1983, and before that a member of two other photo agencies. In a world dominated by men, she has long distinguished herself as a photographer of grace and elegance. I have always admired her work for its sophisticated compositions and defining moments of beauty. Many of her images are iconic and familiar, even to those who are unsure of the photographer.
The Howard Greenberg Gallery in New York is currently exhibiting her work, "Martine Franck: Peregrinations," until early August. This is an excellent opportunity to see some of these amazing prints first-hand and to reconsider Franck's pioneering role in Photography's history. Her work has influenced many. For those who would like to know her better, this Magnum-produced video of Franck discussing her life and her work is not to be missed. —Lane Nevares

The Wolverine marks Hugh Jackman's sixth outing as Marvel's most tortured mutant.
But with his original Origins adventure still a lingering, unsettling memory in many movie-goers' minds, can he cut it in a pseudo-sequel that trades in bombastic SFX and naff CGI and a quieter, more character driven plot in an alien Japanese setting?
We sat down to discuss the performances, action, plot twists and whether it's left us excited for X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Warning though - there be SPOILERS AHEAD if you haven't seen the movie yet.

A dying woman is determined to return to the Garden Grove home from which she was evicted An Apache woman, Niko Black speaks proudly of the hero of her people: Geronimo, the iconic warrior who battled both the Mexican and American governments as they encroached on his tribe's lands at the end of the 19th century.

Wells Fargo and the Orange County Sheriff's Department pulled a gun on a sick cancer patient, my good friend Niko Black, and evicted her from her home in California -- in violation of a court order saying she could stay put.
That's right -- my friend Niko, who is fighting breast cancer and has struggled with numerous health problems over the years, was illegally evicted at gunpoint, as she struggled to pull herself into her wheelchair.
Niko has owned her home for almost 20 years -- and has lived there since she was a child. She never even had a mortgage with Wells Fargo, and has entered into a civil suit around the fraud they have perpetrated against her, fraud that goes back many years. After she filed bankruptcy, the court sided with Niko and put a stay on Wells Fargo's eviction.
Niko posted the court order on her front door. Despite this, officers from the Sheriff's Department along with Wells Fargo employees harassed her on several occasions. Finally, on October 10, 2012 officers broke into her home and forcibly evicted her.
When I learned about what happened to Niko, I was appalled, so I decided to start a petition. I am asking Wells Fargo and the Orange County Sheriff's Department to comply with the federal court order, allow Niko Black back into her home and ensure that she can continue to live in her lifelong home. Will you join me?

Niko Black was granted a federal court order preventing her from being evicted from her home. Wells Fargo and the Orange County Sheriffs Department violated that court order on October 10, 2012 when they broke into her home, guns drawn, and evicted her from the home she has owned for almost 20 years. Big banks should not be allowed to get away with violating federal court orders. In addition, law enforcement agencies should uphold the law, not aid big banks in violating it.

Rally at Garden Grove City Council Meeting tonight 1/8/13
If you live in the area, please come to the Garden Grove City council meeting tonight at 6:30pm in support of Niko and the recent situation with the Garden Grove Police Department (detailed below). Please spread the word!
Wells Fargo, and Garden Grove PD continue to violate the law.
Despite the federal judge's order for Wells Fargo to allow Niko back into her home to get her things, they have continued to refuse. Many times they have set up a day for her to come, only to refuse at the last minute to let her in. They are in constant violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act, which should protect her from eviction without providing accommodations and assistance. They have trashed her house and already stolen items from her property. Today, Garden Grove Police Department showed up at her house today to tow her cars from her driveway, stealing the very last items of value she had left. We would like to urge concerned citizens to call the Garden Grove Police department and demand the return of her vehicles.

Relief from Automatic Stay (Unlawful Detainer) entered August 29, 2012 denied Wells Fargo relief of stay, yet reportedly the Sheriff on behalf of Wells Fargo Bank proceeded with the eviction notwithstanding the order. Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that Wells Fargo Bank N.A. and the Orange County Sheriff will appear November 13, 2012 at 11:00 a.m. in the above court, 411 W. Fourth Street, Santa Ana, Courtroom 5B, to show cause why: (1) they should not be held in contempt and (2) they should not be ordered to pay actual damages and sanctions for willful violation of the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. §362(k). Debtor in meantime should file and serve evidence of her actual damages allegedly caused by this reported violation and points and authorities explaining why punitive damages are appropriate.
Judge orders Wells Fargo and Sheriffs to appear in court!
-Just discovered some very good news regarding Niko Blacks' fight with authorities over her unlawful eviction. The judge has ordered Wells Fargo and the Sheriff to appear Nov 13th in court to explain why they violated his orders AND why they should not be held in contempt and ordered to pay damages! Hopefully we can find a way to get her back in there before the 13th but this is still very good news. I've copied and pasted the language from the judge below: This matter was considered in chambers on the debtor's emergency "Motion to Uphold Enforcement of Order Denying Motion for Relief of Automatic Stay for Failure to Prosecute." The debtor appears in pro se. While not made entirely clear, the court construes this motion as one for sanctions and/or other relief pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 362(k), and/or possibly in the nature of contempt. It appears to the court that there may have been a violation ofthe stay in that the court in its Order Denying Motion ...for Relief from Automatic Stay (Unl

Nico Black is also a friend of mine and I have known her for over 10 years and it is a crime, first of all, because people have been at the mercy of Wells Fargo and their unscrupulous , greedy, illegal mortgage practices ( as Nico is not the first friend who has fell victim) and second because Nico has unsuccessfully tried to remedy the situation and does not deserve this more than anyone. She is the kindest, most generous and compassionate person who, in any crowd, finds the most "outcast" person or the person who feels like they don't belong and makes a b-line right for them and with her infectious smile spouts at the top of her lungs, "Hi I'm Nico. What's your name?". She is the one who not only takes in stray and unwanted dogs but takes them to the vet if they're sick, feeds them, takes care of them and until she can find a home for them keeps them as her own. As a cancer survivor I can attest that everyday is a struggle when dealing with that monster but to be subjected to this kind of treatment and then forcibly removed from your home, IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF A FEDERAL COURT ORDER, is outrageous!!! I did quit a lot of research when other friends were going through this and found many illegal and shady things on this matter but unfortunately, by the time one can get everything pulled together and start to get things done it's too late. Their house is gone. Their family is broken as well as their spirit and they have no more resources to fight back so they count their losses, give up and Wells Fargo goes untouched or unaffected once again. THIS HAS TO STOP!!! We need to draw a line in the sand I think it needs to start with Nico Black.REPORT THIS COMMENT:

Stroke Health Center
Should Carotid Patients Skip Surgery?
Sept. 25, 2008 -- Surgery or stenting is not necessary for at least 95% of patients with a condition called asymptomatic carotid stenosis (ACS), says a team of researchers from Canada and Greece.
ACS is a condition in which the main vessels supplying blood to the brain are narrowed but the patient has no stroke symptoms.
More intense medical treatment with cholesterol-lowering and blood-thinning drugs has lowered the risk of stroke in these patients by reducing the number of tiny blood clots or plaque chunks (called microemboli) that break off from the artery and travel to the brain, says lead author J. David Spence, MD, a neurologist at The University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario, Canada.
Narrowing of the carotid vessels is considered a risk factor for stroke. But doctors have long debated whether those who have narrowing but no symptoms -- such as strokes or mini-strokes (also called transient ischemic attacks or TIAs) -- should have surgery to remove the plaque or undergo placement of stents to open the vessel.
Such interventions are probably overused, Spence tells WebMD, because the risk of surgery or stenting to prevent stroke could actually be greater than the risk of having a stroke in certain patients.
"So the message is that now less than 5% of patients with ACS tend to benefit from surgery or stenting and you can pick them out by doing microemboli detection," he says. He is slated to present his findings today at the 6th World Stroke Congress in Vienna, Austria.
Not everyone agrees with his conclusions, however.
Carotid Artery Stenosis: Study Details
Led by Spence, the team tested 199 patients treated before 2003 and 269 treated since 2003 for the presence of microemboli. Before 2003, medical treatment was less aggressive.
The ultrasound procedure to find the microemboli, called transcranial Doppler embolus detection, involves placing a helmet on the patient's head to hold ultrasound probes in place, then using the ultrasound to monitor the arteries inside the brain for the tiny clots or chunks.
"If you find two or more microemboli per hour, [the patient] should probably have surgery or stenting," Spence says. All the patients in the study had narrowing of the carotid artery, but had no symptoms.
Although 12.6% of the patients treated before 2003 had microemboli, just 3.7% of those treated since 2003 did, Spence found. The difference is statistically significant, he says.
The research team then followed the patients for at least a year to see what percentage had strokes or heart attacks. In those treated before 2003, "the one-year stroke risk was 4%," Spence says. In those treated since 2003, it was 0.8%.
"Heart attack risk went from 6.5% to zero percent," he says, with the group treated since 2003 having no heart attacks.
