Il Mulino- Food/Cost- Is it worth it?
- s
- steakrules85 May 18, 2009 10:57 AM
I am considering Il Mulino for my mother's birthday as she adores Italian food. We have been to both Babbo and Del Posto already, so I want to try something different. We loved Babbo, however we felt that Del Posto was a big of a letdown based on portions and pricing. I know that Il Mulino is supposed to be extremely expensive but how much more expensive can it be than Del Posto? Also I have heard their portions are quite large which my mother would prefer compared to the " fu fu" type places that will serve you much smaller plates.
I do not mind paying for a great meal, but I want to make sure it IS a great meal. Seems like there are many mixed reviews on here about Il Mulino. People either absolutely love it or they just don't care for it at all- no middle ground.I value Zagat's opinions and they have yet to stray me wrong and they gave it an impressive 28 rating. Reservations seem impossible. Does this place live up to the hype or is it just resting on its laurels of the past?
Right now I have Gotham Bar and Grill booked (yes I know it is not Italian) and I will most likely stick with that. but I like having options to consider. I always do this to myself- beat myself up over where to go many weeks in advance- guess its a kind of "fun" way to torture myself lol.
Check the archives. I think you'll find the consensus on both parts is no. I wouldn't go near the place; I've been there twice but only eaten there once (neither time on my initiation, and the second time the service and placement of our table right by the kitchen inspired us to walk out). I'd call the time I actually ate there a completely underwhelming experience, and I was glad I wasn't paying. The second time was one of my worst NY restaurant experiences in 35 years.
Hey Steakrules,
I'm firmly in the camp of Il Mulino lovers. I have been there three times and each time was fantastic. I've not eaten at Del Posto, so will hold off from trying to make any comparisons.
First things first, you will spend a lot of money, but you will not go home hungry. It's a small place, and no interior designer has stepped foot inside the door for at least 30 years.
For my money, the food is the best italian in the city. Granted they serve many of the classics which turns off some detractors who are looking for the latest & greatest, but Il Mulino does each dish very well. They will also come to the table prior to ordering and ask if you want antipasti for the table. Some see this as blatant upsell, but the antipasti is phenomenal, if expensive, and it comes out very quickly. Each time I'm there, I always complain that I'm full before I finish ordering my meal.
All the entrees are very well prepared, and I've never been with anyone who has had one complaint about the food. I recommended it to a colleague to take his wife for their anniversary last month and they have been raving about it ever since. They had previously been to Del Posto, and thought il Mulino to be far and away the better choice.
I know there are strong opionions out there who will disagree, I've just never had a bad experience, and it has been worth every penny.
re: Spends Rent on Food
Thanks guys- This is exactly what I mean. Read the two above posts haha- One hated it and one LOVES it. It seems like if you are okay with the traditional Italian dishes and huge portions (parmigianas, marsalas, pastas) you will be satisfied. If you are looking for innovative cuisine like at Babbo and the new comers or smaller portions then you dislike it.
re: Spends Rent on Food
I'm with you. always been in the camp that loves it. Last time I posted about it, I got so much vitriol from others though..
If you get through and get a reservation good luck!
I have been to Babbo, Il Mulino and Gotham. Babbo was excellent as was Il Mulino so I do not think you can go wrong at Il Mulino at all. Gotham was fantastic, but of course not Italian. I also do not know anyone who had a bad time at Il Mulino.
I'm in the camp of those who think the food is terrific but that it's not worth it. However, if you decide to go, be warned that they will try to persuade you that you need much more food than you do which is how the cost can really get out of hand. In addition, while other posters have accurately, IMHO, described the strengths and weaknesses of the food, you should be prepared for tables that are much closer together than at Babbo or DelPosto and, as a result, a physically less pleasant atmosphere. That may not matter to you (or more importantly, your Mom), but if it does, this is probably not the place for you.
I don't think much of the place, way overpriced for average food, you can do so much better. Do they still charge $60+ for specials without mentioning the price. In typical Il Mulino style they made us wait way past our reservation and then jammed us in next to the bar in to small a table. Overall, it was a lousy experience, though it was more then a few years ago. I have attached one of my favorite Il Mulino posts, an old one but a good one. Scroll down to the long post
il Mulino works very hard at being the old-school New York Italian restaurant that you just don't see anymore, and they succeed admirably.
So if you want that, it's there for you, but you'll pay a handsome price for it.
If you like the food at Babbo, which is the opposite Italian, then you might not like Il Mulino.
I'm an old-school Italian-American, native NYer myself, have been to Il Mulino twice in the past year with gift cards, and can tell you that I don't *plan* to go back (which is not to say I *won't*) because to me, that food they serve should be half the price. The wine list is ridiculously high, too.
Osso Buco is a $35 dish all over NYC, it's $50 in IM.
My veal tenderloin with mushrooms in a thick brown sauce was $40, but I don't know why.
We needed to spend $90 for a decent bottle of wine because that's how the list is structured.
They gave us a dessert to share and somehow our bill still came out to $300 plus tip.
Pastas were in the $30s and we both had one.
The service is very old-world friendly and fun.
Both times we enjoyed our time at the table and left stuffed, drunk and broke. If that sounds ok to you, and that's FINE, then you'll enjoy il Mulino.
re: il Trifulau
the food at il mulino is excellent. the risotto with white truffles if they have it is great. the lobster dish i had there was excellent. There is truth to Il Mulino being old fashioned in food and service. but its great food and great service. They probably still bring the big hunk of cheese out and grate it in front of you , or cook fettuccini at your table,,, my biggest complaint about il mulino is the tables are right on top of one another , very uncomfortable. Il mulino owners came from Joe's restaurant on MacDougal St.( now closed( they were waiters with Ennio and Michael, Pirondello, Bocconcino, I think C'entanni also ,, many restaurant owners came from Joes. I think you will enjoy the food but you'lll be cramped,,the food is better than Babbo.
Gotham seems a little run down to me,,, I did have great venison at Gotham , but I was disappointed the last time i was there. Not what it used to be,,,
i had an incredible, incredible meal and was 100% satisfied. Hihgly reccomened, but i suggest you plan on sitting a while and taking your time. THey stuff youwith som many complimentary apps, you are pretty much full before your main comes out...So, i would wait to order a main course and sit and enjoy. Portions arent small.
If you are looking for fabulous Italian food of the Babbo variety, I think you will really like I Trulli. We like it better than Babbo, because the noise level at Babbo is SO high. I Trulli has a beautiful garden room, and a serene ambiance.
Service at both places is of the highest order.
It's been years since I've been to Il Mulino, but it was one of my most disappointing New York dining experiences.
re: ChefJune
My experience as far as service was conncered was very memorable. They were so attentive, helpful, etc.
re: ChefJune
I'm soured on i Trulli ever since I experienced a really lousy, subpar Restaurant Week menu. I used to love eating and drinking at the wine bar, but I've crossed them off my list. Restaurants should either put their best food forward for RW or not participate.
re: Peter Cherches
re: Peter Cherches
Oddly, I had my best ever RW week experience at iTrulli. In fact they're the only restaurant I've found that actually does restaurant week right. But I guess that just goes to show the big problem with restuarant week is the inconsistency due to the large crowds.
I do love iTrulli non-restaurant week, and it does have a great back garden, but I wouldn't put it in the same league as Il Mulino.
re: Spends Rent on Food
Thanks to all for your responses and recommendations. I definitely will have to try Il Mulino soon, but I think I am going to stick with Gotham Bar and Grill for this occasion. Plus it is pretty impossible to get reservations at Il Mulino. I called the last few days and all I get is a busy signal all day.
re: steakrules85
Lunch is better than dinner at il mulino, less crowded, easier to get a reservation - sometimes you can just walk in...food is exactly the same. Get the veal parm. It is excellent.
Il Mulino was a lot of fun as a one time experience, but I would not go there for the food. It was quite mediocre. Both my husband and I were happy that we were not paying: the food was so not worth the high prices. Not even with all the fun we had just sitting there, observing the great "theatre" that Il Mulino offers.
And, if one of our friends wants to buy us dinner again and suggests this restaurant, I think we will try, as politely as possible, to suggest another restaurant.
I quite enjoyed the experience at Il Mulino, actually. Avoid the "specials" as they are very overpriced, but the red-sauce dishes are superb.
re: uhockey
What are the prices like for Il Mulino? My dad is obsessed that he wants to eat Osso Buco. Not looking for anything fancy and Il Mulino was recommended by another chowhounder.

re: petuniafromhell
I'm from out of town but Il Mulino is one of my favorite NYC restaurants. I have been there 5/6 times for dinner and lunch once. They do serve you way more food that you can eat which runs the bill up. It's expensive on the same level as Daniel I would say and a lot depends on the wine you order. They serve some outstanding Italian wine but they get an outstanding price for it. I always thought Italian wine was a bargain but not at Il Mulino. Once I was with a guest who ordered lamb for lunch and they served her a whole rack which two people could have eaten. But the food is just outstanding, the service is nice, the room is small and it get's loud. It gets very crowded at night. I have been to Babbo many times and Del Posto several times. I love Il Mulino the best. A friend of mine ate at Il Mulino in Aspen last month and said it was outstanding and he's been to the NYC branch too. Good luck.
re: petuniafromhell
It is ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
re: gutsofsteel
I concur - but it is certainly not "expensive on the same level as Daniel" - nor is it as good. It is good quality, enormous portions, and a fun experience - no more, no less. I liked it there, but it'd be below Babbo, Otto, Scarpetta, Convivio, Marea, Alto, and A Voce on my list of Italian places to go back to.

re: gutsofsteel
Guts do you ever have a kind word for anyone. Even a poor ole boy from Mississippi. I'm being nice but your approach to reasonable posts is extremely unkind.
re: Littleman
I replied to petuna's question with my opinion. You are welcome to disagree.
re: gutsofsteel
I apologize. I didn't realize you replied to Petunia. I don't disagree it's expensive but I just happen to love the place. Good luck to you.
re: petuniafromhell
Around 25 years ago the owner of jfood treated him with such disrespect and unprofessional and dispicable actions that jfood would rather miss a meal than give him a nickel. With all the great places in NYC to help profit, Il Mulino is three feet below fish crap on the bottom of the sea.
Go elswhere where you can give money to nice people who deserve it.

He still gets so pissed off about the owner of Il Moo-lean-o's actions that it still pisses him off.
re: petuniafromhell
I reported back on my experience at Il Mulino for my mother's birthday. It was absolutely spectacular and one of the best meals and most memorable experiences we have had. I have eaten in many top restaurants in NYC ( and many Italian restaurants) and Il Mulino is as good as they come. Food, service, old world ambience. It hits on all levels. In all honesty, I will say Il Mulino blows away Del Posto pound for pound, dollar for dollar in MY opinion.
As for the osso bucco, it will run you about $45-$50, but rest assured every piece of food you put in your mouth will be wonderful. Also, as I am sure you know by now you will get tons of free goodies to start your meal. Therefore, you do not have to go crazy ordering appetizers as these will fill you up. But of course you are there for the experience and I advise you at least get one appetizer to share- whether it be the incredible eggplant stuffed with crab,spinach, shrimp or one of their pastas like porcini ravioli.

I am in the middle ground camp, so there you go. Il Mulino make good, old fashioned Italian-American food. 20 years ago, it would have been the best barnone. That said, I think the concept of regional italian fare has changed what is on offer nowadays and Il Mulino cannot really compete. For what they do, however, the quality of the food is good. If you want something a little more interesting, I agree with other posters that recommended I Trulli. The thing about I Trulli is that their appetizers are just okay, but their pastas are to die for.

You do realize that Zagat's does not have an "opinion" it is merely a popularity survey. Anybody can be a Zagat's "reviewer." Lots of places of varying quality are popular.

Huntington to weigh higher noise penalty
The Huntington Town board will consider changes to its noise ordinance, just in time for summer and its block parties and backyard barbecues.
A public hearing has been set for July 9 to consider tighter definitions of noise at property lines; changing the name in which a sound device permit is issued; easier prosecution of violators of the code; and an increase in penalties.
Town board member Mark Cuthbertson said in the past a party planner hired by a resident would get a sound device permit issued in his or her name. But if there was a noise complaint because a band or DJ was too loud, the town could not issue a violation to the homeowner or the musical entertainment because their names would not be on the permit.

"Under our code party planners cannot be prosecuted," said Cuthbertson, who sponsored the hearing resolution with town board member Mark Mayoka. "So the change would be only the artist who would be performing or the homeowner can file for these permits."
He said the board will consider whether to raise the penalty for a first-time offense from the current $50 to $100.
Cuthbertson said that while most people are responsible and respectful of their neighbors when it comes to noise, "all it takes is a couple of irresponsible ones to make people's lives miserable."
The hearing will take place during the regular town board meeting, which starts at 2 p.m. at Town Hall, 100 Main St.

All our cob events are 'live builds', that means roll up your sleeves and get stuck in. All take place in London, use recycled London clay and most work with and for community.
Sometimes our events, workshops and courses are open to the general public, like festivals, demos and oven builds. Add your name to our list - as courses get subscribed, fast and before they appear here.
Our project builds have a lasting effect on communities - so we are told, so if you want to visit anything we have built, let us know.
By popular demand we are offering limited free builds for those that want a taster and fee paying / cost contribution courses.
London clay + sand + straw = cob and lots of fun. Come join us and meet inspiring people along the way.
Cob oven building - make your own earth ovens - our most popular event
Our cob oven courses take places over two days. We don't rush our courses, because we don't want to rush you. We believe that learning any new skill - one that you can use once the course is over, takes time. There are plenty of things to rush about in life. Cob doesn't need to be rushed.
What else can you make with clay? Loads! Ask us about our 'clay to play', 'clay to pay' schemes.
Scroll down and look at our photos for ideas of some of the things we have made with the local community groups around London - from ovens, to heated benches and much more. Working with you, London clay and community. See 'what's coming up' for the next season's building projects and ideas.

Volunteers from The Challenge
The shot above is from a group of youth volunteers who came and made cob, tossed it across the meadow (as pictured) and then used this to build the wall for our earth training centre. We are both making our own materials using the clay on the site and building with it. Does it get any more low impact?
To those that have come and come back again and again, our season's best wishes and thanks - we loved having you. To those yet to have tried this ancient building craft - this is a unique experience to try working with London clay and stray, in London and in a beautiful meadow, please get in touch.
We hope to get the structure as close to ready before spring; walls build and clay and lime rendered, and a reciprocal roof in place. We have been SO lucky with the weather and just the right number of people coming to support our community build. Come spring we will be working on eathern floors, renders and the cob oven.

The Cober's Thumb being used - this helps sew the straw in the mix, increases surface area (great for keying in more cob) and increases the drying time. The Cober's Thumb is a made by stripping the bark off a good sturdy, straight stick and saves using your hands - well your thumb.
The air was filled with mischief in London, the week that kicked off the riots (sept 2011) and the Eco Build at the Meadow orchard did not escape. Our soakaway was used as a giant bonfire. All the wood, pallets and straw on site was thrown into our great pit and set alight. The flames must have reached the tops of the tallest oak branches above, judging by the scorched leaves. Nothing more was damaged, we were just a bit miffed that they burnt our stuff.
(A soak away is where water is carried away from the building via the French drainage system - a gravel filled drench - into this especially dug pit). The walls after the fire were terracota red. The clay is London clay and has a slow percolation rate - i.e it takes a wee while to drain away. The firing of the walls as a result of a night's bonfire seems to have slowed the rate that the soakaway soaks away the water.

Hot Off the Press: The Third Edition of the Guide to the California Rules of Professional Conduct for Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Counsel Is Now Available to Trusts and Estates Section Members at a Special Price
Neither the California Rules of Professional Responsibility nor the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct provide adequate guidance to California practicing trusts and estates lawyers. The Third Edition of the Guide to the California Rules of Professional Conduct for Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Counsel is offered by the Executive Committee of the Trusts and Estates Section of the State Bar (TEXCOM) to provide both general and fact-specific guidance to California trusts and estates lawyers facing common and unusual ethical issues and problems, with an emphasis on application of California-specific rules. The Third Edition replaces the Second Edition, which was released in 2007, and has been updated to reflect the current state of the law, including by way of example changes in the Care Custodian area and evolving social media issues. The updated Guide is an essential addition to the library of every California trust and estate lawyer.
The retail price to members for the Guide is $85.00. However, the Trusts and Estates Section is offering the Guide to Section members at a reduced price of $40.00 if purchased before September 30, 2014.

March 20, 2014: Senate and Assembly committees are in the process of reviewing nine bills intended to reinforce the rights of residents in residential care facilities. The package of bills, introduced earlier this year under the collective title of the RCFE Reform Act of 2014, is sponsored by California Advocates for Nursing Home Reform. The bills seek to provide better scrutiny of residential care facilities by the State Social Services Department, promote residents' rights through enactment of a bill of rights and of onsite resident and family councils, enforcement of rule violations and enhanced sanctions, better investigation of complaints, and enhanced training of staff members of facilities.
For more information, go to the CANHR website (www.CANHR.org) and click the Legislation tab.
The bills are: SB 894 and 895 (Corbett); SB 911 (Block); SB 1153; SB 1218 (Yee); AB 1554 (Skinner), AB 1571 and 1572 (Eggman), and AB 2171 (Wieckowski).
While the Section will not be taking positions on these bills, Section members who work with seniors may wish to become informed about the purpose and content of the bills and may wish to take positions on them independently.

Chair, Trusts and Estates Executive Committee
The Trusts and Estates Section is pleased to announce that its Educating Seniors project is now back in full operation. This project has been sponsored by the Section since 1997 and focuses on training attorneys who specialize in the practice of trusts and estates law on matters relating to elder financial abuse. Trained attorneys are then provided with contact information for their local Senior Centers along with a portfolio of brochures and educational materials; following this, they are deployed in their local communities for the purpose of providing senior audiences with information designed to protect them from predatory schemes.
If you are a trusts and estates attorney who would like to be part of this important project, please contact us! And if you are the representative of a Senior Center (or other organization that serves the senior community in your area), we hope that you will contact us as well.

Restaurant Girl sits down with Keith McNally, and boy does he lay on the charm, as usual. You gotta love this kind of modesty in an industry full of bluster: I enjoy putting places together, that's all. With that comes a knack for working with people far more talented than myself. And: I'm anti pro- everything. McNally spiels about Morandi (I think Jody Williams is a terrifically talented chef, but unfortunately I did not enjoy working with her), his nameless pizza place on the Bowery (it's already over budget and behind schedule and I'm at the stage where I'm pulling out my hair and wishing I weren't doing it), and of course Minetta Tavern: If someone's really nice and willing to be patient, we always find a table for them. Always. Also, on the Times declaring it the citys best steakhouse: It was a bit like entering a beauty contest and suddenly winning the prize for the best endowed man in the line-up. I just hope certain women are not put off by it. By being labeled a steak house, that is. Nah.

A new campaign going on right here in the Commonwealth is aimed at getting you to think green.
The Piedmont Environmental Council's 'Enlighten Virginia' campaign is a push for people to change the type of light bulbs they currently use.
The group has teamed up with local businesses like Martin's Hardware and Crozet Hardware to offer consumers environmentally safe light bulbs.
"What is actually surprising to a lot of people is that they really use seventy five percent less energy than one of these old light bulbs so if you change your light bulbs than you can actually use four of these using the same amount of energy as using one of these light bulbs," said Rose Jenkins with the PEC.
We've posted a link to the Enlighten Virginia website under the news links section of this website.

Børn Claire Leather Booties 15 15
Great Color (the taupe) but...not all that comfy Reading the other reviewers makes me wonder what's my problem, but these are just not that comfortable--at least not on my foot. I'm typically an 8 or 8.5 and my foot runs narrow, but had to get a 9 before they felt anywhere close to right. Could be a have a higher arch, but in any event--the pitch of these boots is too steep for me to enjoy walking in them more than briefly. I definitely would not wear them for shopping or any activity requiring much walking. Having said that--they look nice and the grey/taupe is a super color that looks great with navy and pretty much every other color I've paired it with. November 14, 2014
GOT 2 pairs & they are Ah-Mazing! LOVE these. I ordered down a half size to wear with tights rather than socks, because my Born boots from last year are a little loose. These are sooo comfortable. The grey isn't really grey; however, it's more of a taupe-brown. My black ones are getting a lot of wear with "the essential little black skirt" and tights. Boy, have I gotten compliments! October 23, 2014
Booties to wear with everything Cute, stylish, comfortable, well-made and affordable! This bootie is one to own. October 22, 2014
Love love these boots The reviews were accurate- very comfortable boots. If you wear flats or low heels due to lower back issues but wantto have a higher heeled boots, these are for you. I wore these all day to work with complete ease. October 6, 2014
Comfort and Style I purchased these boots in the grey color and they go with practically everything. The style pairs well with both jeans or a nice dress when going out. I have also logged a great deal of distance in them and find them to be incredibly comfortable. October 2, 2014
Rolled up toes These boots made my feet look SO small, and the rolled up toes reminded me of wicked witch of the east in wizard of oz. fit and leather were fine, but overall appearance (to me) was bad. When I put these boots on and showed my husband, he didn't have to say a word. his face told me all i needed to know! September 26, 2014

Answer:I have to disagree with GH's answer....I wear 8's in the Eileen Fisher leather cage, but ordered an 8.5 in this shoe (98% of the time I'm either an 8 or an 8.5). Just tried them on, and they're decidedly too small. What's also funny about the way these fit is that they're rather narrow on me, and my foot typically runs narrow. So these are clearly "not true to size" for my foot.

Coconut's Eevee
Coconout's Eevee
Coconut's Eevee (Japanese: ココナッツのイーブイ Coconut's Eievui) is a Pokémon belonging to Coconut in the Magical Pokémon Journey manga series.
Eevee is quite intelligent for Pokémon standards, being about as smart as the average child in kindergarten.
Eevee amazes Clefairy and Pikachu because he knows basic math. Eevee is very loyal to Coconut and stays close to her. When Coconut's experiments go wrong, he often bears the consequences.
He meets Lu, a female Eevee, and falls in love with her. They go out on dates and become a couple, much to the jealousy of the other male Pokémon.

Check out GIRLTalk's revised rules & regulations now! http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/board,181.0.html
tanong ko lang po... paano or saan nyo binibigay yung tithes nyo?actually, kaya ko tinatanong din kung pano kayo nagbibigay ng tithe is because ang ginawa ko kasi nag-charge lang ako sa credit card... para nga monthly sure na may 500 akong tithe. then babayaran ko na lang pag me writing work akong makuha.ok lang kaya yung ginawa ko or dapat sa simbahan ko idinaan?
with us naman, we don't do obligatory tithes. These are some guidelines we practice:1. Give with a happy and willing heart2. Give what you can only give in such a way that it won't be a burden to you. You know for yourself how much you can give3. Do not let others see or know how much you give. 4. You set aside what you'll give and treat it as something sacred. If you have already set it aside, don't use it for anything else anymore5. Contributions are sacred, it should not come from gambling winnings, stolen money, etc.6. We don't accept church contributions from non believers of our faith (we would like to make sure that once you give, you practice all of the above as well) because if you don't then the contribution you (even we) give will be worthless.Just sharing

NASHVILLE — Gov. Bill Haslam's school voucher proposal, which would affect Hamilton County schools, is headed for a Senate floor vote after clearing a key Senate hurdle today.
Senate Finance Committee members approved the revised measure on an 8-2 vote. The bill was delayed the House Budget Subcommittee.
Haslam had tried to limit the proposal to low-incomes families whose children attend the bottom 5 percent of the state's lowest performing public schools. Last year, he even jerked the bill from final consideration when senators sought to expand it.
But this year Haslam finally agreed to expand the bill, which would allow the use of public money to pay for vouchers to send students to private or religious schools.
If there aren't not enough students from the bottom five percent of schools to fill the initial 5,000 slots statewide, low-income families from other schools would be eligible in the five currently affected counties.
By year 4 of the program, 20,000 students could be going to private schools at public expense at an average cost of $6,400 per year.
Senate Minority Leader Jim Kyle, D-Memphis, objected to the bill, saying that vouchers will compete with public charter schools already greatly expanded by Haslam. All are drawing money away from traditional public schools, complained Kyle who asked where Tennessee public education is headed.
"We don't seem to have an end game," Kyle said. "We're starting down the road without knowing where we're going to end up."
Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman said the state's lowest performing schools, which have or will be placed in the state's Achievement School District, are "not afraid of the competition."
Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, R-Collerville, who is carrying the governor's bill, agreed with Kyle that there "has to be an end game.
"But," Norris added, "there also has to be a beginning."
The bill passed 8-2 with Kyle abstaining.

This article describes the formula syntax and usage of the STEYX function (function: A prewritten formula that takes a value or values, performs an operation, and returns a value or values. Use functions to simplify and shorten formulas on a worksheet, especially those that perform lengthy or complex calculations.) in Microsoft Excel.
Returns the standard error of the predicted y-value for each x in the regression. The standard error is a measure of the amount of error in the prediction of y for an individual x.
STEYX(known_y's, known_x's)
The STEYX function syntax has the following arguments (argument: A value that provides information to an action, an event, a method, a property, a function, or a procedure.):
where x and y are the sample means AVERAGE(known_x's) and AVERAGE(known_y's), and n is the sample size.
The example may be easier to understand if you copy it to a blank worksheet.

I'm a big fan of any tool that can help me get more work finished in less time. One tool freelance writers might not think to use is a word count tracker. (By the way, we offer two free word count trackers here for our readers.)
But word count trackers are more for authors, right? Sure. They're great for tracking your progress on a book. But there are also plenty of ways you can use them with typical freelance projects.
For example, you might use a word count tracker to:
- Work toward blogging word count goals for the week or month;
- Track word counts for e-books for clients or marketing;
- Document your monthly word count for total magazine submissions you write;
- Note word counts across all of your projects as a whole to see how prolific you are each month.
How does tracking your word count potentially make you more productive?
- It lets you break large projects up into smaller, more attainable goals so they're less intimidating.
- Reaching daily or weekly word count goals can keep you motivated -- small successes lead to larger ones.
- You can track your typical progress and turn it into a game, always trying to beat your most productive period with higher word count goals.
- A word count tracker can help you hold you accountable if you publish it on your own website or blog for others to see.
Do you use a word count tracker? What kinds of projects do you use it for (or what projects would you consider using one for)? Do you share your word count trackers publicly or keep that data private for your own evaluation? Share your thoughts in the comments.

I use Word's tracker and keep an eye on it during most of my writing – usually out of curiosity. I also use it when I'm creating a 10 word purpose for a writing project… have found 10 words or less really focuses me on what the project is all about.
Not a bad idea. How does it differ from Word's built-in tracker?

Courtesy | Consideration | Respect | Tact | Humility | Humor
A simple greeting, a smile, holding the door open for someone, allowing someone to finish their sentence, or knowing when to keep quiet–these expressions are how we reveal ourselves to the world. On the other hand, being late, not returning a call, forgetting to say thank you, and poor table manners are relationship and business killers.
Your manners and attitude have a direct and lasting impact on your success in any situation. Being civil and acting with tact are the key factors in making others feel at ease in business or social environments, and in delivering the kind of treatment customers rave about. Etiquette is your relationship edge.

|Fictional profile

Greedo is a fictional character from the Star Wars universe. He is portrayed by Paul Blake in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.
A New Hope[edit]
Greedo appears in A New Hope as a Rodian bounty hunter working for Jabba the Hutt. Jabba hires him to capture Han Solo, who lost the Hutt's cargo during an illegal smuggling assignment. Greedo approaches Han in the cantina at Mos Eisley Spaceport on Tatooine and tries to take him in at gunpoint, but Han shoots him dead with a concealed blaster.
Star Wars: The Clone Wars[edit]
Greedo also appears in the 2010 Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Sphere of Influence". In this series, set 20 years before A New Hope, Greedo is hired by the Trade Federation to kidnap Baron Papanoida's daughters, Che Amanwe and Chi Eekway. He is ultimately foiled by Ahsoka Tano, however.
Paul Blake played Greedo in the shots that feature both Greedo and Han Solo in the same frame. For Greedo's close-ups, a new articulated head was built for pickups at the end of the shoot, and Maria De Aragon was enlisted to play Greedo. His voice was provided by linguist Larry Ward. In the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series, Greedo was voiced by Tom Kenny.

text: Asian-American/Tea Party Coalition Could Change California Politics Print article Send a Tip by John Sexton 9 Apr 2014 post a comment Last month, a collection of Asian-Americans groups, which one University of California professor compares to the Tea Party, helped defeat a bill designed to revive affirmative action in California's college admissions. Now the Republican Party is hoping to capitalize on this unexpected break with Democrats. "They're an insurgent group very much like the Tea Party," says UC Riverside political science professor Karthick Ramakrishnan. He also tells UC Berkley's Alumni Magazine, "This might indeed snowball into something bigger." That's what the California Republican Party is hoping. The RNC has three staffers working on Asian-American outreach in the state. Peter Kuo, who is running for state Senate tells Politico "This is a turning point for the Republican Party to really share their values with Asian-Americans." The core of the issue last month is access to California's university system. Asian-Americans are only 14 percent of California's population but they make up 38 percent of undergraduate admissions. This over-representation is based on hard work in school. So when state Sen. Ed Hernandez proposed SCA5, a bill which would undercut proposition 209 and allow colleges to once again consider race as a factor in admissions, some Asian-American groups saw this as an effort that would ultimately be at their expense. Shien Biau Woo, co-founder of the 80-20 initiative, is a liberal Democrat, but he became one of the leading voices against the bill. "Politicians think that Asian Americans can always be stepped on" he says. The bill also attracted strong opposition from several Chinese-American groups. Last month, the Chinese-American Institute for Empowerment held a forum in Cupertino, California opposing the bill. The forum, which was conducted in both English and Mandarin, featured a number of Republican speakers including Ward Connerly, author of Prop. 209. Connie Conway, a Republican from Visalia addressed the crowd saying "Why work hard when that hard work will not be rewarded?" After the bill was defeated Woo, of the 80-20 initiative, sent an email saying SCA5 was dead and suggesting the defeat had Democrats "scared" and hoping to "avoid a disaster in this year's elections." Woo said the fear was a good thing and even added "To scare the Dem Party, we should register as Republicans." But some suggest the Tea Party like groundswell of opposition to SCA5, which some opponents labeled "skin color act 5" may not be representative of Asian-American attitudes in general. Laura Stoker, a UC Berkley political science professor points out that, according to a 2013 survey, Asian-Americans still support affirmative action by a 3 to 1 margin. There may be some common ground but Republicans still have a lot of work to do in order to win over Asian-Americans in California.

"Hulk Hogan left. Rock left. Steve Austin left. Shawn Michaels left. Theses were huge stars! Superstars come and go. The show must go on! You wait on the future.Don't over think my last Tweet. Human emotions are involved and they're always unpredictable. We should all be able to understand that."
- Road Dogg discusses the departure of CM Punk from WWE
"I've calmed down a lot. There were a lot of things I did to escalate that whole thing with [opponent] Shawn Michaels and [now WWE owner] Vince McMahon. I wouldn't change anything I did in terms of my own conduct but I regret all of it.Visit Wrestling Inc. I wish I had never left the WWE but I've moved on. I went back and shook Shawn's hand and it was good for everyone to bury the hatchet."
"Mick and I wanted that match to be something different. We had no background together. We didn't know if we were going to have chemistry. Both of us wanted to make a WWE Championship Match that wasn't typical of the business at the time. Mankind was an opponent with a rugged style that Shawn Michaels had never faced before. Had we not tried to add those extra elements, it wouldn't have felt special. I wasn't a fan of having a definite 'style.' I get that there are different styles, and some guys do things a certain way but, as a fan, I don't prefer one over another. So, throughout my whole career, it always made sense to go out and try to mix things up. One of the easiest ways to keep people from saying, 'It's the same old thing,' is to not continually do the same thing."
"I was doing everything I could to kill myself except put a loaded weapon in my hand."
"Honestly knowing Shawn Michaels, I don't think so. That's my opinion."

Guitar Glossary
Octave pedal
|Adds an additional tone either an octave above or an octave below the produced pitch. This is great for creating a bass guitar sound with your ordinary guitar, an absolute must for people who want to record a full track without access to a bass guitar.
Lessons for: Octave pedal
1: Rock Effects: Octave Pedal
The Octave Pedal is a harmonizer of sorts. In the case of classic rock effects, the Octave Pedal harmonizes the note you play with the note one octave above it. Most octave pedals also act as a fuzz pedal to provide a little distortion to what you play and maximize the overtone needed to produce the octave note above. You'll notice that when the octave pedal is used tastefully, it sounds as if a little feedback is helping sustain the note. If you use an octave pedal on lower notes it gives a real dirty grit to the riff. The octave pedal is the sound of Hendrix. You'll...
2: The RAT Pedal
First let's check out a classic distortion pedal called The RAT. This pedal has a very classic and unique sound, and in this lesson I'll show you how each of the controls affect the tone. First you have your distortion, which controls the amount of distortion. Then you have the "cut" which cuts out the high frequencies and basically makes it sound like someone put a pillow in front of the amp. Then finally you have the volume control, which you can set to match the bypassed volume or to be slightly louder if you want to use the RAT as your lead sound.
3: The Tube Screamer Pedal
Now let's check out another classic distortion pedal called the Tube Screamer. This is one of the quintessential overdrive pedals used in rock, blues, and many other styles of music. First let me show you how the controls affect your tone. The controls on the Tube Screamer are very similar to the controls on The RAT, but you'll hear that they have a very different sound.
4: The Fuzz Pedal
Now it's time to check out a different type of distortion called Fuzz. This is a really cool sound that's used a lot in both rock and blues. Fuzz can be a crazy effect, and fuzz pedals have all kinds of unpredictable quirks that players through the years have found all kinds of cool uses for. So for that reason, there are more different fuzz pedals than you could get to in a lifetime, and they all get really creative with the controls. But in this lesson I'll introduce you to the Fuzz sound with a basic BOSS pedal, and even then you'll probably start to see how this t...
5: The Metal Zone Pedal
Now let's check out another important variation of the basic distortion sound. This type of gain is used a lot in hard rock and metal, and it's a really cool sound. First I'll show you how the controls on the pedal work, and it will get a little bit technical when we get into the more advanced EQ controls. But don't think you have to understand it all to use this sound. You can always leave the controls you don't understand at 12 o'clock.
6: The Volume Pedal
In this first lesson we're going to check out the volume pedal. Although this pedal can be used as a regular volume control, most people use it to either control the amount of gain in your tone or to play swells. I'll also show how to use these tricks with the volume control on your guitar.
7: Volume Pedal Example
Now that you know how the pedal works, it's time to break down and play through an example that uses the volume pedal swells in a rock context. These swells add a dreamy and ambient dimension to the music, and although it can feel a little unnatural at first, it's a great tool to have under your belt! Remember you can use this trick with your guitar volume too.
8: The Tremolo Pedal
In this lesson we're going to explore one of my favorite effects which is known as tremolo. All tremolo does is rhythmically raise and lower the volume to create a moody vibe. As you saw in the earlier tutorial, this effect is built into a lot of amps. On those it's often called "vibrato", but I find that to be very confusing, since vibrato has to do with vibrating the pitch of the note and not the volume. But as long as you know what they mean, it doesn't matter; in this lesson we'll explore a basic tremolo pedal.
9: The Compressor Pedal
In this lesson we're going to explore the effect called compression. This effect can be pretty confusing, but in it's basic form it's actually quite simple. All it does is to lower the volume of the loudest notes you play, so that you can turn up your overall volume and have everything you play be equally loud. This adds a cool "squashed" sound to your tone, and it also makes all the details in your playing pop out. In this lesson I'll show you how the most basic compressor pedal works!
10: Compressor Pedal Example
Now that you're familiar with the basic compressor pedal and sound, let's break down and play through an riff that uses it in a rock context. This riff is very funky, and it uses a combination of open strings, triads and ghost notes. The compressor makes all of this "even", so that no part is more pronounced than others. I hope you've gotten a good understanding of how powerful dynamic effects can be in almost any musical context. As you heard in the examples they add much more musically than just the increase and decrease in volume. Tremolo will take you through the ...
11: The Flanger Pedal
Now let's check out another classic effect called the "flanger". It's very close to the chorus sound, but a bit more extreme. First I'll show you how the different features on our flanger pedal work, and then I'll show you how to use it in a rock context in the next lesson.
12: The Phaser Pedal
The "phaser" is another really cool modulation effect, and in this lesson I'll show you how it sounds and how the different features on our phaser pedal work. You'll notice that this is similar to the flanger in the sense that it adds "sweeps" to your tone, but the sweeps have a different sound and effect on your overall tone.
13: Phaser Pedal Example
In this lesson we'll break down and play through an example that uses the classic phaser sound in a rock context. Again, we'll combine the phaser sound with some overdrive, but the phaser also sounds great when applied to a clean guitar tone. I hope you've gotten a good understanding of this group of effects and how they can be used in a rock context. There are many different types of modulation effects, and they all have different features and options. But if you're familiar with the basic controls we've used today, you can have fun exploring any bonus features that a p...
14: The Delay Pedal
First let me show you how to use the different controls on the delay pedal that we're using today. First we'll try adjusting the volume of the delay. Then we'll experiment with the feedback knob, which controls how many repeats you get. Finally we'll adjust the delay time, which controls how fast the repeats happen.
15: Introduction to the Wah Pedal
In this tutorial I'm going to introduce you to another classic effect used in rock, which is the wah pedal. This sound has inspired countless classic rock riffs and lead parts through the years, and it has been used in almost all styles of music. The pedal is controlled with your foot to obtain a kind of "talking" guitar sound, and in this tutorial I will show you some of the most common ways to use it in a rock context. Let's get to it!
16: How the Wah Pedal Works
In this first lesson I'll show you how the wah pedal works. You engage it by pressing down pretty hard with your toes. Then as you switch between the heel-down position and the toe-down position you can hear why it's called a "wah" pedal! It actually works by boosting your midrange, similar to turning up the "mids" knob on your amp. Then the knob stays up, while the frequency changes from the lower midrange frequencies to the higher ones - that's what creates the "wah" sound.
17: Introduction to the Pedal Chain
Effects can be an overwhelming topic for many guitar players who are first starting out, and even armed with all the knowledge you've obtained throughout this chapter it can be quite the journey to find the sounds and effects that are right for you. Just remember that the greatest rock guitar tone generally goes the shortest possible route from your guitar and into the amp, meaning through as few effects as possible! The reason for this is that the more pedals you send your signal through, the more of your raw guitar tone you lose. So until you're absolutely in love wit...
18: Pedal Chain Connector Cables
So far we've only used one pedal at a time with two full length instrument cables connecting our guitar to the pedal and then onto the amp. Now let's check out how to connect multiple pedals by using the smaller "patch cables". From the "output" of the pedal, the patch cable goes to the "input" of the next pedal, and so on. This might seem basic, but 90% of the time when a pedal isn't working or your sound isn't coming through, this is the reason ... even for experienced players.
19: Your Pedal Order The Jokers
Now that we've covered the most basic categories, let's check out some of the "jokers" and how to place them in the signal chain. This includes the tremolo, the wah, the compressor, and the volume pedal. There are different ways to place each of them, and you may have to experiment a bit to find the placement that works best for your setup.
20: Common Pedal Setup Example 1
21: Common Pedal Setup Example 2
Now let's look at another very common setup and organize the different pedals. This includes the volume pedal, the RAT distortion, BOSS overdrive, BOSS flanger, BOSS phaser, and a BOSS tremolo. I'm sure this chapter has peaked your interested in all the different effects used in rock. And while a brand new effect can be a great source of inspiration for new sounds, songs, and tricks, a guitar players pursuit of tone can also be the biggest distraction from actually working on your playing and really getting better as a guitar player. So always tread carefully when it ...
