I don't have a pet to surrender and I'm not an adopter. Can I still go to an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event?
Exotic Pet Amnesty Day events are free and everyone is welcome to attend. There are informative and educational displays at most amnesty events, and live animals are usually on exhibit. Kids and families can see exotic animals up close and learn about nonnative species issues.
What pets can I surrender at an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event?
We accept all exotic reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, mammals and invertebrates at Exotic Pet Amnesty events. Domestic pets, such as dogs and cats and rabbits, are not accepted.
What will happen to my pet if I surrender it?
Exotic pets can be surrendered between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, no questions asked. Every pet that is surrendered is inspected by a veterinarian, and all healthy pets are placed with pre-qualified adopters that same day. Our qualified adopters have submitted applications that demonstrate they know how to care for the animals they are approved to adopt.
What should I bring with me to surrender my pet?
First and foremost, your pet - preferably in a transportable container that you are willing to part with. Additionally, you can bring anything involved in the care or caging of the animal that you no longer wish to keep. Anything you surrender with the animal will go with that animal to its new home. This includes caging, food, vitamins, toys, and anything else you commonly use in the care of your animal.
I have multiple animals that I need to surrender, will they all go to the same home?
We strive to place animals into new homes and environments that will provide them the best chance at living a long and happy life. If the animals you surrender are bonded together every effort will be made to place the animals into a new home together. This is usually easy to accommodate if the animals are in pairs or trios.
I'm surrendering my animal, but would like to hear from the new owner about how my animal is doing, is this possible?
When you surrender your animal you are welcome to leave your name and contact information for the new owner of your animal. However, we cannot guarantee that the person who adopts your animal will be open to contacting you.
What if my pet doesn't get adopted?
So far we have been successful with having all healthy animals adopted during an event. However, in the rare event that an animal was not adopted we would hold that animal while we contacted pre-approved adopters in the area who may not have been able to attend the event.
I missed the last event and have an exotic pet I can't keep anymore. What can I do?
We can help place exotic pets outside of amnesty events. Contact the Exotic Species Hotline at 888-IVE-GOT1 (888-483-4681).

I'd like to adopt an exotic pet
Want to help us find homes for exotic pets in need? Apply today! Read about how to become an exotic pet adopter.
I'm an adopter with the program, what should I expect at an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event?
At an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event, animals are surrendered between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm. Surrendered animals are held for the duration of the event and adoptions start around 2:30 pm. Adopters should arrive and check in at 2:15 pm. Once most adopters have checked in, we allow all the adopters to travel through the animal holding area and see the animals that will be available for adoption that day. After every adopter has had an opportunity to see the animals we have a drawing to create a random adoption order. The first adopter called gets to go through the trailer and adopt one animal from a category for which they are approved. This process continues until every adopter has had a chance to go through and adopt an animal. If there are still animals available for adoption we will go back through the random list of adopters.
What animals will be available for adoption at an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event?
We have no way of knowing what species of animals, or how many, will be surrendered at any given event. Also, we allow for the surrender of any exotic pet so we receive a great variety of animals. In general, we see a lot of animals that can be purchased easily at local pet stores such as ball pythons, green iguanas, pond turtles, and sugar gliders. While less common, we also see small birds, parrots, boa constrictors, and tortoises with some frequency.
I plan on adopting, what should I bring to an event?
If you plan on adopting an animal at an Exotic Pet Amnesty Day event you should bring something to transport that animal home. Depending on what you are approved for this could be a small kennel, a large Tupperware, or even a cloth bag. Don't assume the animal you are adopting will come with a habitat or something appropriate for transport.
Can anyone host an amnesty event?

Bloggytown, Oddlando
Pro-choice activists: Florida is the No. 1 anti-woman destination
Take a ride on any of Florida's highways and you're bound to encounter this billboard, or a similar one (the new billboards have taken a decidedly less 1980s approach, showing a sweet blonde "pregnant" model instead of the above Zena-Warrior-Princess-with-scary-contour-blush). While not funded by state government, the billboards still provide insight into the political temperature in Florida when it comes to women's rights. In fact, the women's-rights activist group Ultraviolet recently called out Florida as the No. 1 anti-woman tourist destination in the nation — and launched a plan to name and shame.
Ultraviolet plans to raise awareness of woman-hating Florida (and other states that limit reproductive rights) by buying airport and travel-website ads. Their intention is to hit these states where it hurts: right in the pocketbook. The tactic is meant to encourage equality-minded folks to choose a location other than Florida for their vacations, because who wants to vacation in an anti-choice state, knowing that their hotel-and-restaurant dollars are indirectly going toward supporting anti-woman policies?
In 2011, tourism had an impact of $67 billion on Florida's economy. Ultraviolet hopes that by making a dent in these dollars, they'll encourage politicians to "back off their war on women." Ultraviolet is seeking donations to help buy the ads. Luckily, airport ads aren't nearly as spendy as billboards, so their goal is only $15,000. Are you in?

NP Fellowship: Evaluation of fellows, faculty and program
Evaluation of Fellows
Evaluation forms are submitted electronically by the fellow at 6 month intervals regarding the quality of their training and the teaching effectiveness of the supervising faculty. These evaluations are confidential. To maintain confidentiality in this small program, the evaluations are given to the AP/CP Residency Program Director and the Chairman of the Pathology department, rather than directly to the Neuropathology fellowship director. Feedback on the fellowship is integrated with feedback from rotating AP/CP residents (and may be edited by the Residency Program Director if needed) to maintain confidentiality. The AP/CP Residency Program Director then gives feedback on the training program to the Neuropathology Fellowship Director and faculty. Evaluations of the faculty go directly to the Department Chair.
Program Evaluation
The educational effectiveness of the program is evaluated semi-annually by the Program Director, teaching faculty and at least one resident or fellow via a documented division faculty meeting. The meeting evaluates the effectiveness of the program in meeting its goals and objectives. Data points considered at this include some or all of the following: confidential written evaluations of the program prepared by the trainees (fellows evaluations are pooled with rotating AP/CP residents to maintain confidentiality), RISE exam results, surveys of graduated residents and fellows, board certification examination results, and Internal and External Reviews of the program by GMEC and RRC. Both formative and summative evaluations of the residents and fellows are reviewed in the context of the structure of the training program, to assess whether the program is meeting the training goals. An approved plan of action is documented in the minutes of the meeting if deficiencies are noted. A summary of the program evaluation is presented every other year to the Pathology Education committee, which oversees all educational activities.

Description of Research ExpertiseThe Weljie Lab is located in the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Pennsylvania. Our lab is at the forefront of metabolomics technologies to examine biological problems in a translational medicine context.
Metabolomics is a growing sub-field of systems biology centered on the study of small biological molecules in biological fluids and tissues. Recent research suggests that analysis of metabolite concentrations in living systems is useful in disease diagnosis, prognosis, and predicting drug efficacy in a personalized medicine context.
Our focus is on developing analytical methods to advance research in translational medicine. There is an intrinsic link between metabolism and function of the innate circadian clock system in numerous organisms and disease states, but the exact mechanism by which the clock controls mammalian metabolism is poorly understood. Our work seeks to fill this knowledge gap along with identifying biomarkers of cancer and environmental health.

The deaths occurred in the eastern city of Gujranwala and nearby villages, said local official Abdul Jabbar Shaheen. Another 54 people thought to have consumed the syrup are also being treated at city hospitals. Officials believe the victims drank the syrup to get high, he added.
Tests show the victims' stomachs contained dextromethorphan, a synthetic morphine derivative used in cough syrup that can have mind-altering effects if consumed in large quantities, said Shaheen. Investigators are trying to determine if the victims drank too much syrup, or whether there was a problem with the medicine itself, he said.
Twenty-three people died in the nearby city of Lahore in November after drinking bad cough syrup sold under the brand name Tyno. They were also described at the time as people who consumed the drug to get high.
Shaheen said the cough syrup involved in the incidents in and around Gujranwala was not sold under a single brand. He said some people in the city make cough syrup to sell specifically to drug addicts, and officials are trying to arrest them.
Officials temporarily closed one Lahore-based pharmaceutical company whose cough syrup was found in the possession of some affected in Gujranwala.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) - Fairfax County fire officials are investigating a house fire that injured a resident and a firefighter.
The fire was reported around 9 p.m. Saturday in the 500 block of E. Columbia Street in Falls Church.
Officials say one resident sustained first-degree burns but didn't go to the hospital. A county firefighter was taken to a hospital to be treated for a laceration.
The cause remains under investigation, and damages are estimated to be more than $250,000.

Protesters ask TVA to stop building nuclear reactors
Bellefonte Nuclear Plant will be a great asset to our surrounding Counties. TVA gives so much back to the schools and communites. I am looking forward to seeing the Bellefonte Nuclear Plant open and bring jobs and much needed money to the local economy. Nuclear Power is the future and we need to be prepared.

Earlier this week, we discussed spinal fusion surgery, a surgical procedure in which a spine surgeon fuses together several of the vertebrae of a patient suffering from a degenerative disc disorder or a similar illness. Despite the claims that this procedure will reduce or completely eliminate chronic back pain, many patients are finding exactly the opposite to be true, and are lodging complaints and filing medical malpractice lawsuits claiming that the surgery made their back pain worse, not better.
One such patient is Mikel Hehn, who had spinal fusion surgery after years of suffering from spinal disc degeneration. Two years after Hehn's surgery, during which a surgeon fused together three vertebrae in his spinal cord, he says the pain in his neck, lower back, and legs is so severe that he can no longer work. Now he relies on powerful prescriptions to get by, including Oxycodone for pain, Soma to sleep, and Lexapro for the depression brought on by his new condition.
Compared to others, Hehn's condition is relatively mild. Jean Kingsley underwent a third spinal fusion after two earlier surgeries left her with back pain. In her third drastic surgery, a surgeon fused 13 vertebrae along her entire spine in a day-long procedure. The 57-year-old woke up paralyzed from the waist down, forced to use a wheelchair and utilize the services of a home health aide to perform everyday tasks such as bathing. In a way, Kingsley says, her surgery could technically be considered a success. "Now I don't feel any pain," she said, because "I'm paralyzed."
Kingsley filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against her surgeon, but after a judge found that her surgeon was not negligent, Kingsley was ordered to pay almost $50,000 in attorney's fees. She is currently appealing the ruling.

A couple weeks ago, we posted some awesome Miranda Kerr nude pictures from GQ magazine, and now we've got more of Miranda Kerr nude with these outtakes from the photoshoot. I don't know why anyone would ever hold back pictures of Miranda Kerr as "outtakes" when they're all winners, but we have them now, so that's what matters. Also, we've got bigger versions of the original pics, so, yay!

A Council Bluffs man was fighting for his life last Tuesday on the floor of his smoke-filled apartment. He's alive to tell his story, thanks to the efforts of firefighters who saved his life.
Firefighters called to the Parkwild Apartments near 8th Street and Parkwild Drive arrived to find smoke everywhere and a resident trapped inside.
Twenty-three-year-old Zach Aughe tried to get to the door, tried to break out a window, but couldn't do it and the thick, black smoke was taking its toll.
"Last thing I remember is looking back and just seeing the kitchen engulfed in flames and (I) collapsed to the floor next to the back door."
That's where firefighters found Zach and quickly got him out in the fresh air. He doesn't remember the ride to the hospital. "The next thing I know it's two days later, I wake up in ICU with tubes down my throat. It was quite the experience."
Zach took in a lot of smoke and will have to use oxygen until his lungs clear. "At the hospital they said I had the equivalent of a pack-a-day for two years in about a half-hour period. That's 15,000 cigarettes in about a half-hour. My lungs and throat are pretty beat up."
He was released from the hospital on Monday. One of his priorities is to meet the people who got him out of the apartment and to the hospital. "I want to get to know them and thank them individually for saving my life."
Zach lost everything he owned in the fire, including the cat he had for two years. He's just thankful to be alive.
Investigators say a bad plug on a microwave in Aughe's apartment started the fire.

New Day Rising
Postpunk Vet Bob Mould Makes a Virtue of Survival
The whole "grunge" sound--that irresistible combination of pop melodies and punk chords thickened into clouds of guitar noise--was invented not in Cobain's Seattle, but several years earlier by SST Records bands such as Mould's Hüsker Dü. And grunge found its richest expression not on the albums of Nirvana but on records such as Hüsker Dü's New Day Rising and Copper Blue by Mould's subsequent band, Sugar. Never before or since have grunge tunes been so catchy, grunge guitars so bristling, grunge rhythms so inexorable.In the early days of punk, bands such as the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, the Clash, and X used staccato chords as an echo of the vocals, an amplification of the anger and swagger in the lyrics. Mould's genius was to turn this formula inside out. By curdling the guitar sound until it was more oppressive than buoyant, he made the guitars represent the stifling reality his lyrics depicted--the guitars became the antagonist rather than the ally of his voice and thus allowed a richer drama to be acted out within the song. And because Mould had a knack for pop hooks, the conflict between his tuneful singing and those grinding guitars was dramatic indeed. That led to his other innovation: breaking down rock lyrics into sentence fragments as short and choppy as the musical phrases (an innovation shared with fellow SST act the Minutemen). These shattered shards of language not only reflected how his peers talked but also allowed Mould to imply far more than he actually said.
Cobain exploited these developments brilliantly on Nirvana's 1991 breakthrough album Nevermind, the precedents for which could be found on Hüsker Dü's mid-'80s work. (Nirvana's big advance within the postpunk formula was allowing producer Butch Vig to make Hüsker Dü-ish songs sound like a Boston record.) The last five Dü albums--1984's Zen Arcade, 1985's New Day Rising, 1985's Flip Your Wig, 1986's Candy Apple Grey, and 1987's Warehouse: Songs and Stories--measure up to any run of albums to come out of the whole postpunk/grunge/hardcore/alt-rock/whatever movement. Mould's anguished, blistering compositions were matched stride for stride by the songs penned by drummer Grant Hart, who was able to capture a childlike appreciation for UFOs, sleds, and a white dress, all within the pell-mell push of punk. Hart was the perfect ying to Mould's bleak yang, and their dialogue made the Dü albums fascinating.
But in 1988, Hart's heroin habit, Mould's frustrations, and their road manager's suicide broke up the band. Hart still hasn't matched his '80s achievements. And neither did Mould, initially. He made the unfortunate decision to work with session musicians on two underwhelming solo albums--1989's Workbook and 1990's Black Sheets of Rain--but he righted himself by forming Sugar, a trio with bassist David Barbe and drummer Malcolm Travis.
Sugar provided Mould with his best-selling album (1992's Copper Blue), his darkest (1993's Beaster), and his most optimistic (1994's File Under: Easy Listening). The latter disc solved the seemingly impossible challenge of making positive love songs credible in a punk context. Mould did it by writing the strongest melodies of his career, not just for his vocals but also for the noisy guitar riffs that suggested the anxiety and anticipation of being very close to true love but not quite there yet.
When Sugar broke up amicably the following year, Mould maintained his momentum with 1996's Bob Mould, which captured romance's heartbroken flip side, and 1998's The Last Dog and Pony Show, Mould's farewell to rock-band touring. Then he disappeared from the music scene for four years, which included a seven-month stint writing scenarios for televised World Championship Wrestling bouts.
But now he's returned, more active than ever. Mould formed his own label, Granary Music. He joined forces with United Musicians, Aimee Mann and Michael Penn's artist-run distributor. And he has announced that he'll release three albums in 2002: the half-electronic, half-rock Modulate, out now; the all-electronic Long Playing Grooves, due in June; and the acoustic Body of Songs, due in September.
Mould's interest in electronic music first surfaced in "Megamanic" on Pony Show, but he sounds much more comfortable with synths, samples, and drum programs on Modulate. On first listen, the album sounds completely alien to anything he has done before, with the fuzzy guitars replaced by sleek bleeps and blips. But the third or fourth time through, you realize that Mould is using these layered loops the same way he once used his layered guitars--as a thickened noise that represents an external world where his melodic vocals are struggling to find a place. That the outside world is now represented by cold, impersonal computers rather than hot, hostile guitars reflects both the changes in American society and Mould's own aging.
It works surprisingly well. "Semper Fi" is a song about preserving a long-term relationship from gossip and temptations. With dizzying samples swirling about him, Mould cries out to a wavering lover, "Some pure adrenaline might bring me back again, back to you," with an urgency that supports the lyric. "Lost Zoloft" uses backward-running tape to create the tension that underlies a confrontation with a gay-bashing right-winger, whom Mould taunts, "Objects in the mirror may be much closer than they appear."
Modulate is divided into two distinct halves like a vinyl LP. After six electronic tracks, the familiar guitars re-emerge in the second half. The hook-laden "Slay/Sway" is a musical autobiography that evokes both the beginning of the punk era ("In a dead-end town where there's nothing around you but an empty garage full of nothing to do, it was fun to have a few friends over") and its demise ("It was clear who was taking over the world/ it wasn't going to be me"). "The Receipt" opens with a shimmering rainfall of synth notes until a pumping guitar riff blows it away and ushers in a vitriolic kiss-off to an old friend who has turned into "some deadbeat dad who lives at home." By contrast, the slow-grinding guitar chord of "Hornery" lingers on and on until it segues into the chattering synth of "Comeonstrong." On this response to an overly aggressive lover, Mould's marvelous voice is able to suggest both the anger and the plea in the lyrics.
What's most impressive about Mould is that he is still active and exploring new ways to express his gift for tension-and-release. After all, Cobain only made two studio albums of consequence in his entire career, while Mould has yielded 10. Of all the gifts that go into making great music, the ability to stay alive and stay productive should not be underestimated.

New research indicates that cloud computing applications are proving to be a challenge for IT professionals. Part of the problem, it turns out, is that employees are overriding IT policies and bypassing the IT app approval process.Keeping Up With the ...
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
With the rise of mobility and the need to collaborate easily, cloud computing applications are growing in importance.

A small update to Office's Android app adds Dropbox integration and share links for documents
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
The latest version adds the same Dropbox integration that arrived on iOS a couple weeks ago, allowing users to save, load, and share documents stored in Dropbox directly through the Office app.
Rice Univ. is preparing to offer its researchers who deal in "big data" the opportunity to compute in the cloud with fewer barriers. Rice is installing the Big Research Data Cloud (BiRD Cloud), which will allow for cloud bursting. That means data-intensive tasks can spill over into outside cloud-computing systems when necessary, essentially providing unlimited computing capacity.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Rather than one node, or access point, BiRD Cloud will incorporate 88 Hewlett-Packard SL230 nodes, each a computer on a card with two Intel eight-core Ivy Bridge processors. ....

We heard from 200+ IT pros about their experiences with bare metal restore – who used it, how well it worked & what happened when it didn't go as planned.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Of the people who had used BMR, 48% reported that they'd had problems trying to perform a bare metal recovery. In other words, you might as well flip a coin.

Many SMBs struggle with deciding if and what to move to the cloud.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Obviously in this day and age email is a requirement in virtually every business. A lot of businesses continue to run Exchange locally. If you are thinking about moving portions of your business out to the cloud, email is a good place to start. Why should you move to the cloud?
Docker is too new to get massive enterprise adoption, but Amazon joins Google in providing the technology for when that time comes
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Container Service's focus is on scheduling, which is difficult when using containers. As it stands, you have to assign the right resources per container. When you try to roll them back, mistakes can ensue. AWS wants to solve that part of the container problem.
Cyber Security researchers have warned Microsoft Windows Server 2003 users in the country to upgrade as the Microsoft have announced its 'end of life.'
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
This action is expected to drive global demand for upgrading more than 10 million Windows Server 2003 servers.
Guest post: Thanks to @The Hacking Post for the scoop.
IT-as-a-Service is the real game changer in cloud computing.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
However, the cloud is also a great place to which you can move your entire IT infrastructure as well. It took a little longer than moving websites or even apps to the cloud, but IT in the cloud has arrived.
Google continues to build out its cloud computing platform and today the company announced that its autoscaling service for Compute Engine, its infrastructure-as-a-service platform, is now available in beta.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
It's surprising that it took Google this long to release this feature. Amazon made auto scaling available on AWS back in 2009 (unlike Google, Amazon prefers to use "auto scaling" over "autoscaling") and Microsoft launched Azure auto-scaling (with the hyphen) for web sites, cloud services and virtual machines last June.

In a show of hands ...... the forty or so attendees were unanimous in their agreement that the issue of security is one of the most important considerations in the journey to the cloud.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
The panel had some great advice about how to overcome common security concerns. Here is a summary of what they think organisations can do:
As the public-cloud market enters its adolescence, the pervasive concept of a "race to zero" has created an impression that only the established leviathans can compete in the space. On their path to dominance the likes of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Compute Engine, and Microsoft Azure gobble up nascent software-as-a-service startups and lesser infrastructure-as-a-service and platform-as-a-service providers as they aggressively drive down costs and make it seem unattractive for customers to not be in the cloud. Google's latest round of price cuts on an array of services and applications have reaffirmed this popularly held belief.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
What does this mean for the race to zero? Is the cloud price war effectively over with only Google and Microsoft left playing a game of "how-low-can-you-go" chicken?
From medium
Market research for a new web product helps you to gain an understanding of the existing market trends, the customer psyche; this data can play a great role in forming marketing strategies. In this article, we shall discuss in detail some of the steps for a powerful research.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:

Guest post: Thanks to @Ritesh Sanghani for the scoop.
Strategic cloud deployment held back by vision and skills.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Findings indicate that a vicous circle could be created from the tactical approach to cloud; almost half of European enterprises plan to have a hybrid cloud environment within two years.
The next big technology migration will change how workplaces are organized. Bad news, middle managers: You're going to get less important.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
A corporate organizational chart from 100 years ago looks like a factory, with little workers at the base like parts, assembled by managers into units that interact with or fit into larger parts.
The most recent Azure outage shows Microsoft still needs to improve its responsiveness to customers
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Customers experiencing service problems on Tuesday turned first to Azure's status page for answers -- then to Twitter to express their outrage that it took 30 minutes for Microsoft to even acknowledge the disruption.
Cloud security has been so hot to debate about, that even after a decade or so, we started to re-thing how to use common terms such as "web-application", "internet of things" etc, in a politically correct manner...As a consequence, politically correct vendors have taken all the necessary measures to assure and re-assure customers about their security mechanisms implemented on top of SaaS, PaaS etc.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
"And why are we STILL talking about cloud security?" Unfortunately a salient point, but read on!

Cryptolocker breach prompts K.E. Andrews to overhaul backup strategy with Zetta.net cloud backup.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Cloud backup had been on the radar screen of KEA's IT group for some time, but it was the CryptoLocker incident that launched the evaluation effort into high gear.
Thanks to @Elena M for the article.
The cloud is revolutionary because, like the introduction of the steam train, it creates opportunities that simply weren't possible before
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
The emergence of cloud-hosted digital innovation is a shift that's every bit as important as the industrial revolution two centuries ago – it's honestly that mould-breaking.
Less than two weeks after the bug was first discovered, the Wirelurker iOS malware has already led to three arrests. First discovered by ZDNet, the Beijing Bureau of Public security has announced...

- A cut aboveLindaCVIPDined on 11/1/2014Vicolo is not your usual Brooklyn Italian restaurant - the service, menu, and food preparation are definitely on a higher level. Ingredients are authentic, fresh, and high quality. The spaghetti al tartufo, prepared tableside with truffles and cream and tossed in a hollowed-out wheel of cheese, is a pleasure both to watch and to eat. Excellent desserts, too - the torta della nonna is a favorite. Bring your appetite - portions are generous. Can be crowded on weekend evenings (it's a popular party place, and rightly so), but lunchtime is beautifully quiet.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always GoodStick66VIPDined on 10/19/2014Not a stranger to this place. Food and service always very good. Squid ink pasta is my favorite here. Try it, you'll like it! NADSpecial Features:
- Cozy Italian placeKatieDined on 8/27/2014Great for groups or couples. Quiet, laid-back ambience. Delicious food and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2005VIPDined on 8/3/2014We have been to Vicolo a few times and it is just delicious. The friendly staff, the valet parking, the great food why go anywhere else in bay ridge. Our waiter Franco was the most friendly waiter we ever had anywhere!! We will continue to return every time we are in areaSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 57 reviews are from the Vicolo Ristorante & Bar reviews archive.
- Enjoyable supper, pleasant settingAbnerDined on 7/29/2014A group of six including two children, had pizza, salads and pasta, seafood all delicious with very friendly serviceSpecial Features:
- Best of Bay RidgeFoodloverVIPDined on 7/11/2014My husband and I eat here at least 2 times a month. I love the food. There is much attention to fine ingredients. It is our favorite restaurant in Bay Ridge. The specials are creative and change all the time so we are always surprised.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Who has a meeting in a restaurant?Jingies4Dined on 7/1/2014We've been here before and everything is always fantastic. The food is better than I remember last time. The service is great. I really like this restaurant. My only complaint is that there was a huge table holding a "chapter" meeting and they were clinging on their glasses and yelling at each other to get their attention. They were speaking extremely loud, more than just the noise of a big group of people, and that basically ruined our dining experience. Apparently they are monthly regulars...so avoid the 1st Tuesday of every month and you should have a great time!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Food, Short Handed StaffJunieviewVIPDined on 6/21/2014The first time I ate there it was with a group and there was a lack of service. Second time we went on a Friday night and was told they didn't expect to be that busy so they were shorthanded staff wise. I tried again yesterday which was a Saturday night. They had a group that was leaving so busy cleaning up and we sat there 15 minutes before someone finally came to ask if we want a drink. We had enough and walked out. It's a shame because their food is really delicious but when there's bad service or lack of it ruins everything.
- Delicious dinnerMrk59VIPDined on 6/15/2014From our first step into the restaurant the service was wonderful. Our meal was delicious and we will definitely return to this neighborhood gem.Special Features:
- Inconsistency in one wordOpenTableVIPVIPDined on 4/30/2014We had a party of 7 this night in particular and some of the entrees presented were good.. Others had to be brought back to the kitchen. The pasta they toss with the wheel couldn't be done tableside on this night either... Not good... I really thought I found a neighborhood gem but it's becoming a bit of a see saw ride here and I don't go for that.... 1 more chance in the future to right the ship!
- Would try againshadesDined on 4/20/2014The management were very hands on and appeared organized. Limited menu due to Easter. Stuffed artichoke was good, cannoli was excellent, Dinner portions were very small and the l3 tablespoons of mash potatoes were too little and tasted like a dry mix. The chicken was dry and very thinly cut. The lamb was not enjoyed either. The pasta was good and I would try this restaurant since I met someone I know there and he said he has been there a number of times and always enjoys the food, so I would try it for a late lunch and only recommend it if my experience was better. I would not eat there on a holiday again. It just seems like they really skimped on the main course in the cut and quality of lamb/chicken,
- That special occasionGardozDined on 4/5/2014We have been to Viclo's several times and have never been disappointed. For appetizer try the grilled Spanish octopus. Done just right not rubbery or chewy, just the right amount of bite. Also the spaghetti that in made with truffles and then swirled in a parmesan wheel to develop a creamy sauce , excellent. The servers are very attentive to your every need and friendly. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Inconsistency sadlyOpenTableVIPVIPDined on 3/14/2014Everytime we come it has become a slot machine of food. Meaning you might get a winning meal or a disappointing one.. I bragged about this place to friends and even on here after my 1st visit... I brought a party of 7 or 8 last time and certain items had to be sent back to the kitchen. On this particular night they didn't even use the cheese wheel that they prepare tableside for their fettuccine... Sorry I need to step back from here till I see solid reviews. It's a bit sad. I really thought I was going to make this my go to spot for italian in bay ridge...
- love this restaurantpandadocVIPDined on 2/21/2014I have never been disappointed. Food and service are perfect every time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- favorite in Bay RidgeYolandaDined on 2/15/2014It is so nice to experience a restaurant where you can actually taste the effort and pride that the owners and chef have in their establishment.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The atmosphere was very niceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2014The atmosphere was very nice at Vicolo. The food was also good. We were a little disppointed in the limited valentines day menu but we were happy with what we chose off of the menu. The man greeting us at the door was a little hovering. Every couple of minutes he would come over to the table and make comments like "oh is it not good" all bc I still had some on my plate. We felt a little rushed because he kept coming over. Our waiter was very nice and supplied great service. We would dine at Vicolo again but not on a holiday.Special Features:
- Fun with friendsOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/8/2014Found Vicolo after looking for a place central to all our friends. The food was great, as was the service. They let us sit and enjoy dinner and drinks for nearly four hours! The valet service was particularly convenient with snow and ice on the ground.Special Features:
- Not really worth the time or moneysarahbrandongrableDined on 1/15/2014The service was Ok, the food was pretty tasty, but I got a pasta special for $23 and it had hardly any pasta in it, and the shrimps were butterflied, they were small-sized at best. I expected huge shrimp and more fettucine for that price. That entree and one pizza took a long time to eat. It also took a long time to get my change.
- Good but PriceyTheRavenDined on 1/14/2014The food was excellent, pork chop dish was cooked to prefection and very tasty. Two in our party had fish and were also very satisified. I would say the restaurant may have the best Italian food in Bay Ridge, however the prices are a little too high for a Brooklyn neighborhood. I can't see this restaurant becoming a go to place for the area with there current price list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Off NightMikeyboxxVIPDined on 1/11/2014We've dined here multiple times in the past and loved this place everytime! Tonight was not a good experience. The waiter was awkard, the house wine we ordered was slightly off flavor, our dinners came out at different times, and the pasta they normally used for the dish that was late to the table was not the same pasta they used last time. We asked about the pasta and said that is the same pasta they always use. No, its not. We didn't complain because we know how great this restaurant can be and will go again sometime. It's still my favoriate high end Italian restaurant in Bay Ridge.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing from start to finish!OpenTableVIPVIPDined on 1/10/2014The entire meal was prepared beautifully and tasted delicious. In a neighborhood loaded with Italian restaurants this place truly stands out! Service was spot on and the Tagliolini Al Tartufo & Parmigiano Reggiano is an absolute must to try! It's finished tableside and what look like a small portion is so rich and delicious that it is more than enough! The desserts were also excellent! We will be back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Serving was small but the dish was flavorful. The veal chop was ordered by someone at the next table and looked huge and very good.Special Features:

- Great Place for a Special OccasionOpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 11/30/2013We were there this past saturday night. I called ahead and spoke to Mario to advise is was my dad's birthday. They were expecting us and had set up a very nice table. Our waiter, Andreas was charming and gave great service. The food was really excellent! the calamari was delicious and not chewy, the octopus was fantastic. I had the Pasta with Shaved Truffles it was great and everyone else loved their dishes. We had the special appetizer of Buffalo Mozzerala stuffed with Buffalo Ricotta .... the entire meal was just yummy! They didn't charge a plating fee for the cake! We came in from Manhattan because my parents didn't want to come into the city and I found this restaurant on my open table. It was worth the trip into Bay Ridge Brooklyn!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- WonderfulLindaCVIPDined on 11/10/2013Outstanding food - don't miss the tagliolini with truffles & cream, prepared tableside in a giant rind of parmigiano reggiano. We were a group of 10 for a birthday dinner, and not the only large group in the place, but the service remained attentive and excellent. Very convenient valet parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not My First VisitStick66VIPDined on 11/9/2013A great neighborhood find. I enjoy coming back here from time to time. Nice people, and good food...what more can you ask?Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best restaurant in Bay RidgePaulieGVIPDined on 10/24/2013This is my third time in TWO weeks. By far, this is the best Italian food in Bay Ridge (and possibly the best Italian food I have had in a number of years). I just wish either the portions were a little big bigger or the prices were a little lower. Outstanding menu, good service, nice ambience!Special Features:
- Top Bay Ridge RestaurantPaulieGVIPDined on 10/12/2013Bay Ridge has great restaurants, but Vicolo is among the very top. I have now been there twice. Great service, fantastic food, interesting menu (it's not all penne alla vodka and lasagna -- they have some very interesting regional dishes). I wholeheartedly recommend several items: The fried calamari and seafood salad are excellent. For pasta dishes, the taglione spun in the parmesan wheel is phenomenal. Each different type of seafood in the black squid linguine is so distinct. The meatballs served with several different pasta dishes taste like homemade ones. I am so happy this place is here. A little pricey, but worth it, and better than other Italian restaurants in the area that are of similar price. Nice service too.Special Features:
- Family nightKathyDined on 9/22/2013We arrived while a raucous family party was in process - a baptism celebration - including a comic with a loud mike and a dummy, among other things. The host apologized profusely, but really, because we are out of towners, it was fun to get a taste of this Brooklyn neighborhood. Service was attentive and careful, the food was excellent (though the "special" of beef angus was too pricey at $36). Once the party was over, things quieted down. This was our second time here during our long weekend in NYC. Loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Brooklyn neighborhood gemKathyDined on 9/19/2013As out-of-towners, we depended on previous Open Table reviews....we were not disappointed. Friendly service, authentic Italian food, and though a little pricey, well worth it. Even the parking valet attendant was super friendly and thoughtful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Food and staff top notchOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/14/2013Our waiter was very attentive. Our water glass never dipped below half. The food was excellent. Desert was the perfect ending to a perfect meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the bestGardozDined on 9/13/2013My wife and I have been to Vocolo's several times and have never been disappointed. The food is terrific. There have a pasta dish where they take the macaroni and swirl it around in a parmesan wheel with black truffles, not to be missed. There steak Florentine is excellent as was the Bronzino baked in a salt crust. Service was as good as the food. The only downside if there is one is parking can be rough, but they have valet parking id you can't find your own spot. This place is a must go.Special Features:
- our waiter Anthony and managerOpenTable Diner Since 2001Dined on 8/10/2013our waiter Anthony and manager Mario treated us as though we were visiting royalty. It was a wonderful experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Brick Oven Pizza and moreRachelDined on 6/15/2013I made a res about 30 minutes before we arrived but we had to wait about 10 more min - they had a party that was just leaving. I thought we had to wait because the party was taking up the main dining room - but then we were shown to a table in the sunroom -an enclosed area with views to the street. Maybe we had to wait because there wasn't enough waitstaff - but then we had to wait anyway... Service was not good.... but the food was good. Very good. We had the buffalo mozzarella and mussels to start - both were good. My husband had a chicken marsala, my daughter and I shared the Pizza Vicolo (amazing) and we ordered off the menu (fettuccine with sausage and alfredo sauce) for my son. Everyone enjoyed their meals.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Service and Good FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/2/2013The food and service at Vicolo was excellent. The waiter was attentive. The food was prepared well and of good quality. The calamari are the best of have eaten. The mozzarella di bufala was fresh. Proportions were good and fairly priced. The owner himself ensured that all was to our satisfaction.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Nice SurpriseCLB6VIPDined on 5/13/2013There have been a few establishments in this location in recent years, but this one may stick. The sirloin and pork chop were both surprisingly tender and very flavorful.

HoopsHype Nando De Colo rumors
The Spurs have recalled French rookie Nando De Colo from the Austin Toros of the NBA Developmental League, the parent club announced Monday. San Antonio Express-News
All-NBA point guard Tony Parker was still crowing Thursday about coaching the Spurs to their 101-99 victory over the visiting Hawks on Wednesday night. Popovich turned the team over to Parker — who had the night off — after he pestered his coach with advice after Atlanta made things close in the waning seconds. After the Hawks tied the score at 99, Parker drew up a play for rookie Nando De Colo, who nailed the winning jumper. "It's easy to do Pop's job," Parker said. "He's a little bit overpaid, I think. That's just my opinion." San Antonio Express-News
In just 14 minutes and 36 seconds of his first preseason game with the Spurs, rookie guard Nando De Colo established himself as a fan favorite Saturday with some of the slickest passing seen at the AT&T Center since Manu Ginobili's rookie season 10 years ago. He also impressed some teammates. According to Stephen Jackson, De Colo is reminiscent of another fan favorite. "Nando," Jackson said, "is another Manu Ginobili." San Antonio Express-News
It's a tradition in the NBA for any rookie entering their first season in the league - hazing. Whether it be practical jokes, carrying a teammates' bags or worse, any rookie should expect to get the rookie treatment even if you have been a pro overseas like San Antonio Spurs' Nando De Colo. And as Nando enters his rookie season, what better player to get the rookie treatment going than his fellow countryman Tony Parker (via RMC Sport.fr). "Nando will be forced to get my hot chocolate and donuts for Tim Duncan!" ProjectSpurs.com
Jeff McDonald: Describing Nando de Colo, Pop calls him "a poor man's Danny Ainge." I think that's meant to be a compliment. Twitter
Buford, speaking at a news conference about the summer league, said he expected to announce the signing of De Colo soon. De Colo is training for the London Olympics with the French National Team. San Antonio Express-News
At the end of the game I could chat with combo guard Nando de Colo, who had just reached an agreement with the San Antonio Spurs (for two seasons) hours before. He seemed very excited to join the NBA (to join the Spurs, above all) and grateful to his former team (Valencia). Sulia
Emiliano Carchia: OFFICIAL: Valencia announced the departure of Nando De Colo for the Spurs with whom he will sign a two-year deal Twitter
Nando de Colo has agreed to a two-year deal with the San Antonio Spurs. "It's a great honor to arrive to the Spurs, but I will never forget the three years I spent in Valencia". Valencia Basket
Valencia Basket vice president Paco Raga: "I think Nando De Colo will play in the NBA next season. He wants to play there really bad" TuBasket.com
A 6-foot-10 forward from Slovenia currently playing with Ricky Rubio's old club in Spain, Lorbek was a sidepiece of the Leonard deal. De Colo, a 6-foot-5 guard from France, has also been playing in Spain since the Spurs drafted him 53rd overall in 2009. Both have a chance to cross the pond and join the Spurs next season, depending on how the free-agency landscape shakes out. If you're handicapping it, expect Lorbek to make the jump before de Colo. San Antonio Express-News
Spurs draftee Nando de Colo has no agreement in place with San Antonio, but the French guard will give the Spurs first dibs over European clubs as a free agent, his agent Wassim Boutanos told HoopsHype. "We have promised the Spurs we will let them know of any firm offer Nando receives - whether it is from Barcelona, (Caja Laboral) Vitoria or any other European team," Boutanos said. "We have been in contact with the Spurs for a long time and Nando is in every projection they have about the team for next season, but the timing now is not right to negotiate and it probably won't be until after the draft." HoopsHype
Today's edition of France-based L'Equipe has a brief bit on Les Bleus/Valencia guard Nando de Colo with regard to his immediate future. De Colo was selected by the San Antonio Spurs at no. 53 overall in the 2009 draft and, now that the Valencia BC season has ended at the hands of FC Barcelona, the man they call "Aladdin" awaits word from Texas. "I'm waiting patiently," De Colo told L'Equipe. "Some clubs are always interested in competition and hopefully will be fixed in June. The Spurs have followed me, come to see me, talked with me. But for now, nothing has been done, no agreement has been [made]." Ball In Europe
Nando De Colo will play with the San Antonio Spurs next season. They came to an agreement weeks ago and Valencia Basket is aware of it. Encestando
David Pejenaute: The agent for Nando De Colo has been in touch with Baskonia. But his priority is the NBA. The Spurs own his rights. Twitter
After his agent, also Nando De Colo said to Sportando that he won't leave PE Valencia where he wants to stay for his last year of contract. In the last days, Turkish media reported about an interest of Galatasaray for the French player. "I do deny my transfer to Galatasaray. I want to stay in Valencia for my last year of contract" wrote to us via Twitter the French star. Sportando
Wassim Boutanos, agent of Nando De Colo, denied the rumors on his player leaving Valencia for Galatasaray, as reported by Turkish media. "He wants to play in Spain" said the agent of the French player. Sportando

Synthetica - Metric
- Band Name: Metric
- Record Label: Mom & Pop Music
- Release Date: Jun 12, 2012
- Summary: The fifth full-length album for indie rock band was produced by Metric's guitarist Jimmy Shaw.
- Record Label: Mom & Pop Music
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 20 out of 29
Mixed: 9 out of 29
Negative: 0 out of 29
Jun 22, 2012What feels right (or at least absolutely right now) about Metric is the perfect balance, every element in its place and in service of a set of sinuous, hook-laden, elegantly crafted pop songs.
Jun 14, 2012Synthetica manufactures dependable, big-hearted joy straight through, whether it's slightly gloomy or coquettish or just flat-out pop fun.
Jun 12, 2012On Synthetica, Metric isn't necessarily making a transition; they're simply taking stock of where they've been before figuring out where they're going.
Jun 8, 2012Haines is a compelling performer, and there's certainly more than enough decent songs here to satisfy the faithful who may have been put off by the lacklustre Fantasies.
Jun 12, 2012Synthetica is something of a polemic, but Haines' moments of ambivalence are what make the record compelling.
Jun 8, 2012For a large chunk of the album, the band seems to assume that Haines's ice-queen snarl somehow lends Synthetica's bland, hookless milieu a cool irreverence, but more often than not, what's supposed to be punk-ish detachment often plays like the group is bored by their own material.
Score distribution:
Positive: 12 out of 13
Mixed: 1 out of 13
Negative: 0 out of 13
Jul 14, 2013Easily the best album of 2012. Not only does the record lack a bad song, but the songs flow together beautifully, each building upon the last. Personally, I even prefer this album to Fantasies, though barely.… Expand
Aug 26, 2012SYNTHETICA is a highly addictive and fun album, which (most METRIC fans will disagree with me on this) in my opinion is their best album. What can I say? Most of my favourite songs by them are on this album.… Expand
Dec 9, 2012Do you like Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs? Paramore? Best Coast? Beach House? Dum Dum Girls? Yuck!? You
Jun 14, 2012I really like this one, it reminds me of "Let It Out" for the year 2012, but instead of the buzzing guitars you get shimmering synths. At first listen this album doesn't jump out at you like "Let It Out". But it has a major maturity side to it. This album is Metric all grown up.… Expand
May 18, 2014I really liked this album. I agree with the guy that said "it's Metric all grown up". Throughout the whole album there are some great songs that keep up the interest. Both the tunes and lyrics capture great sentiments. (Speed of Collapse, Nothing but Time, Clone, etc). This was one of my favorite albums of recent memory.… Expand
Jul 1, 2012Schizophrenic fifth album from Canadian indie rockers - read full review here: http://wearethefilter.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/review-schizophrenic-fifth-album-from.html… Expand
Dec 3, 2013Metric's 'electronic' album doesn't push the boundaries enough to be anything more than pop music. I was truly disappointed in this release as less than half the tracks are compelling.… Expand

November 28, 2014
OTTAWA (AP) - Colin Greening scored 7:39 into double overtime, and the Ottawa Senators rallied for a 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins that cut their series deficit to 2-1 on Sunday night.
Daniel Alfredsson got Ottawa even 1-1 by scoring a short-handed goal with 29 seconds left in regulation just after the Senators pulled goalie Craig Anderson for an extra skater.
Anderson made 49 saves, including 18 after regulation. Tomas Vokoun stopped 46 shots for Pittsburgh and took his first loss (4-1) since taking over for No. 1 Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series will be in Ottawa on Wednesday.
Tyler Kennedy scored with just over a minute to play in the second period to give the Penguins a 1-0 lead. That goal stood up until Alfredsson tied it in the closing seconds of the third.

On the day before holy International Western Commerce Day (Xmas), I awoke with undigested La Tolteca burrito bits glued to my face and hair whilst my head was aswim in Canadian whiskey murk courtesy of Marty, my jolly/drunken new neighbor from Canada. The previous day (December 23) was to have been the birthday of a once dear friend whose body just recently decided to call it quits--and the reason I was caked in my own pungent gak. Why must one, like my deceased pal, who defined the term "sweetheart," die, while others, like the abominable Emilio Estevez, or worse, Axl Rose, continue to eat, sleep and crap?
And today, January 5, more death ensued when the guy who once took to doing lines of blow, then slapping Cher around, and who altered my life forever with the AM staple "Needles and Pins"--the very one whose surname became His Name in U2--was killed by a tree dressed in white. (Maybe it's a serial-killer tree, a loner dedicated to its mother, with a kiddy-tree porn habit; maybe it's the same one which recently knocked off yet another Kennedy; perhaps, even, it was the leafy one on the grassy knoll that fired the mystery bullet that had Oh Jackie scrambling across a convertible's trunk for hubby Jack's hood-bouncing head goop.)
All death digressions aside, what's a New Year's Eve all about? Joy? Nah. Rebirth and hope? Nope. Happiness? Huh? Redemption? Repetition? Maybe.
And what of the resolution-list-making dorks of Amateur-Drinker Status whose fierce sense of social denial and satellite-dish dreaming breeds refusal to pull their fingers from their widening asses and acknowledge the slow sinkhole? Whose usual night's entertainment is a TV flickering celebrity vanity and faces of local newscast hams, and whose New Year's Eve Nite Out does nothing but cram bars with artificial mirth and streets with DUI cops-as-Texas Rangers leaving booze fear in their wake and us true drunks shakin' like whores in church.
Happy Suburban New Year! And I say, Blah!
Beyond my usual scribe of spiritual/economic hopelessness and pints of proletarian liver-pickler, I can see in this grand new year we are nothing if not another year older, deeper in debt--in fact, likely backpedaling--and having jack's shit to show for It All. And as I began yet another day of another inconsequential year with a healthier sense of the misanthropical being I am discovering myself to be, I say: Tra la la la la. I'll stay in bed like I usually do with the covers pulled up and over, listening to the Ramones: "Nothin' to do, nowhere to go."
Rick James
Urban Rapsody
(Mercury/Private 1)
Aside from the Artist Formerly Known As ?/Barry White/Snoop kypes, this set of unintentional self-parody sounds (and reads) like a Saturday Night Live skit: A Superfreaky funk-stah gets wronged, jailed, then paroled three years later and emerges 12-Steppin' clean with a woe-was-me vengeance and a new recording stuffed with self-glorified lyrics, absurd sense of romantic macho drama and spiteful liner notes. Yeah, and like . . . we're supposed to feel sorry for him?
On "So Soft So Wet," Centaur James prefaces his sexist squack with this tryst of jail-cell cocksure: "My woman had just sent me these very sexy pictures. I didn't want 2 jack off, so I decided to write my feelings out." Hee hee hee hee.
What follows is a Me-So-Hornyesque sample of moans and groans over bad, gener-O funkgroovesexangst with this chorus: "So soft so wet/So soft so wet/Baby funk me."
Oh, please!
Elemental pettiness makes for complex song and text, proven here when stretched to include a dissing of Teena Marie after she failed to make good on a promise to lend her vox on the recording of "Never Say You Love Me." In that song--set to a boring two-chord back 'n' fro bass and keyboard sway--James makes Ms. Marie a fictional lover who comes crawling back on her knees beggin' for Rick's luvvy-duvvy, to which he replies: "I never want to see your face/This is finally the end/And I never want to hear you say you love me again."
Yet perhaps even more stomach-churning are the booklet notes accompanying "Somebody's Watching You" in which Mister Freaky whimpers: "When I was in Fulsom the CO's tried to make my life hell. Especially the punk-ass bitches in my building where I was housed. . . . Shift after shift I'd have to deal with their silly bitch-ass attitudes. Always watching me, wanting to be the first to say 'I got Rick.' It became a slogan around prison. . . . This is dedicated to all you pigs." Uh, HELLO! Sir James, ol' buddy, ol' pal. Whaddya want, all of us to mourn for you? Ya want our sympathy? Uh, HELLO! You were in jail for holding a girl hostage in your house, then raping her and burning her with your stinkin' crack pipe! Jesus fucking Christ! HELLO! Wake up. That is an intolerable sin against mankind, and you're insanely lucky to be out and about gettin' record deals an' shit! And ya claim that'cha avoided the hiney roast-a-roony in jail? But did ya really? Did ya really avoid the old punk derriere-dive? Only the jailhouse "punk bitches" know fer sure. Yuk yuk yuk yuk yuk.

Quick & Easy
By Beverly Barbour
Cleaning up after the rabbit
Now that Easter is a colorful memory, chances are you have either leftover ham or leftover lamb and maybe a few raw or hard-cooked eggs, to remember it by. What to do, what to do? Here are ideas for you.
One of the wonderful characteristics of ham is that it almost doesn't matter whether you are cooking with it raw or cooked. So almost any recipe for raw ham can be used with leftover cooked ham by adding to the mix a bit of moisture such as wine, milk, orange juice, wine or water.
Ham Loaf with a Sweet-Tart Basting Sauce
A simple recipe that can be made with either pre-cooked or uncooked ham.
Loaf Basting Sauce
Basting Sauce
Loaf: Preheat oven to 350 F. Combine ham, pork, cracker crumbs, beaten eggs and milk, and mix well with your hands. Shape into a loaf or into 4 small loaves and bake 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Basting Sauce: Combine cider vinegar, brown sugar and mustard in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Spoon some of the mixture over the loaf every 15 minutes while baking. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Pita Bread Sandwiches with Lamb
Can be made with either fresh or cooked lamb, ground.
1 1/2 pounds lean lamb, ground
In a bowl combine lamb with garlic, oregano, salt and pepper. Shape mixture into 8 equal oblong patties, about 1/4-inch thick. Place patties on a rack ion a broiler pan and broil until browned on each side, or cook in a heavy skillet on top of the range. While patties cook, peel cucumbers and thinly slice. Mix slices with yogurt, mint and lemon juice to make a cucumber salad. Tuck lamb patties into pocket bread halves, adding cucumber salad and salt to taste. Makes 4 servings.
Ham Hock & Peppercorn Pasta Soup
Freezes well if you're tired of ham.
2 large ham hocks, or the bone from a whole ham with some meat left on bone
Heat the oil in a large pot. Add onions and garlic and cook until translucent. Add celery and cook an additional 3 minutes. Add carrots and cook 3 minutes. Add ham hocks and stir, allowing all the ingredients to blend. Add the wine, stirring to deglaze the pan, and cook for about 5 minutes. Cover it all with the stock, add the tomato paste, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns and parsley. Simmer 45 minutes, or until ham is tender enough to fall off the bone. Remove ham hocks and, when cool enough to handle, separate the meat from the bones. Discard bones and return the meat to the soup pot. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Add the water and bring to a boil. Add pasta and cook as long as package suggests. Season to taste. Makes 12 servings.
Egg & Ham Frittata with Asparagus
A good way to use the egg "blown" out of shells to be decorated for Easter.
1 pound fresh or cooked asparagus
Preheat broiler. Trim asparagus; cut spears into 2-inch lengths. Place in a 10- or 12-inch heavy ovenproof skillet with olive oil, season with salt. Set over low heat, cover and cook 5 minutes, until crisp-tender. Meanwhile, thinly slice white and green portions of scallions. Lightly beat eggs, then add scallions, salt and cheese, wine and pepper; stir to combine. Pour asparagus into egg mixture. Carefully layer ham slices over eggs so they float on top. As eggs cook, occasionally lift with rubber spatula to prevent sticking and to allow uncooked egg to run underneath. Cook 6 minutes, until bottom is set and top still runny. Place pan under broiler; broil 3 minutes, until frittata is completely set and golden on top. Makes 4 servings.
This kind of cleanup is a pleasure not a chore.

Visit: EU PlayStation.Blog
During this summer's Gamescom, we invited Chris Millar to join us on the PlayStation.Blog and introduce Fun Bits Interactive and their first creation for PlayStation Vita, Escape Plan. Aside from the gorgeous black-and-white, film noir art style that pops right off the massive OLED screen, Escape Plan is truly unique game, thanks to its two memorable characters, LAARGE and LIL.
It's time to check on their progress. Escape Plan Producer Matt Morton hopped in front of our cameras at Sony Santa Monica Studios recently, and was happy to give us this update on the art-direction, PSVita multi-touch controls, and to show us why Escape Plan is such a harsh, but addictive puzzler.
Hi everyone and Guten tag from Cologne, Germany! Some of you may know me as one of the collaborative partners with SCEA Santa Monica Studios for the award-winning PlayStation Network exclusives, Fat Princess and Fat Princess: Fat Roles. I'm not only here to introduce Fun Bits Interactive to you, but to also introduce Escape Plan, as one of the upcoming titles for the PlayStation Vita. Escape Plan made its debut on Tuesday at the Sony Computer Entertainment Europe press conference and I have to express how thrilled I have been to see how well it has been received by colleagues and media alike throughout the week.
Placing bite-sized entertainment in the palm of your hands, Escape Plan features two hapless characters, Lil and Laarg, who have been captured and need your influence, skill and brainpower to escape from a dark labyrinth of irreverent puzzles and traps. Escape Plan takes advantage of the PlayStation Vita's multi-touch display, rear touch panel and swipe interfaces.
Pumpkins are cropping up all over the lands of Fat Princess! There's something new growing in the world Fat Princess and it's not just dress sizes! If you jump into an online game of Fat Princess anytime now through the end of November, you will see how much our beloved Princesses love to eat pumpkins […]

Dragon Sighting
I saw a real live dragon today!
My sister and her family came down to visit this week, and today we drove to tour the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans. And, they had sea dragons in their exhibit.
Here is a picture of their weedy sea dragon:
And here is a picture of their ribbon sea dragon:
The sea dragon can be found in the waters off of Australia. They grow to be 10 – 12 inches, and may live to be about 8 years old. They belong to the same family that sea horses belong to. Like the seahorses, the females lay the eggs on the male's body and the males carry the eggs around with them until they hatch, about 2 months. Sea dragons are considered a Near Threatened species, and are protected from collection by Australian law.
There are only about 50 aquariums that have sea dragons world wide. In 2008, a sea dragon in the Atlanta aquarium became pregnant for only the third time. For More Info
