Why boil brats?
- k
- knucklesandwich Jul 5, 2012 03:36 PM
Can someone out there explain bratwurst to me?
Why boil, simmer, or otherwise immerse a sausage destined for a grill, or frying pan? And why beer?
Couple of reasons. Most commercially packed sausages of all kinds develop a kind of slime in the package that will burn if placed directly on the grill, and even if it's not there, most sausages tend to char too much on the outside before they are fully cooked or even heated through. For that reason I always steam or simmer all sausages and hot dogs, whether raw or fully cooked, before griddling or grilling them. You're only putting them on the grill to give them some caramelization and a little smoky flavor anyway -- they won't absorb much no matter how long you leave them there.
Beer purportedly adds more flavor than plain water but that's probably the placebo effect. Easy enough to test at home.
A lot of people I know just think those charred, blackened, wrinkly sticks coming off the grill are the greatest things ever. Me, I like my sausages, from the simplest hot dog to the most glorious hotlink, brat or kielbasa, to be crisp outside and exploding with juice, so I always do it my way, even if it means a foil tray of water holding the sausages on the grill.
re: acgold7
After some 20 years of home testing -- it's definitely not a placebo effect.
I boil brats with a couple of onions, roughly a 50-50 beer/water mixture (because Sven and Oly don't want to waste the beer, donchaknow**) and a handful of Penzey's Corned Beef Spices. Over the years, various pantry conditions have resulted in brats boiled with anywhere from one to all of the components being unavailable at the time -- and they really are best when the beer, the onions, and the spices are all present. (and it's always, always the same brand...so no brand variations in the mix!)
Boiling also does remove at least some of the grease (witness the layer of congealed fat that I throw away before pouring the cooled broth down the drain...)
...leaving you with a fully-cooked, moist, somewhat leaner sausage that needs only to be heated and browned to a nice brown crust before being slipped into a bun with grilled onions and some whole-grain mustard.
Better taste, fully cooked ground pork, nice brown brats instead of sticks of charcoal...what's not to love?
(but I never, ever stab the brats to let the lovely juices out. Sacrilege.)
** Sven and Oly jokes, and liberal use of 'donchaknow' borrowed from Wisconsin inlaws
re: sunshine842
Well, unless you've done double blind tastings of the finished brats, with and without the beer and onions and every variation, without any of the tasters knowing how they were prepared, it could still well be the placebo effect. It's pretty unlikely any of those flavors could penetrate the casings and most would drain off after you pulled them from the broth to place them on the grill. But it would sure be a fun experiment
But I totally agree with the method of prep and it sounds great.
re: acgold7
re: acgold7
Poaching fresh brats, not the slime wrapped versions, in beer with thick slices of onions imparts an unmistakable hops, yeast, beer flavor to the brats as evidenced by the fact that we've used everything from an IPA to a porter, Guinness to Sam Adams and found distinct flavor profiles with each beer used including the cherry flavors from a SA cherry wheat and the citrus flavors from a Wisconsin summer shanty brew. If my wife can taste them, and she is clueless to what happens in the kitchen and outside on the grill, then the flavors are really there despite not doing a double blind experiment.
I actually poach the beer, brats, onion mix on a BGE with a couple lumps of apple or cherry or pecan wood chunks over a moderate 350 degree fire to get the smoke flavor into the liquid and brats from the very outset. Maybe 30 minutes because it takes about 15 just to get the liquid simmering. After that I remove the brats onto the grille grid for some color and crust while I continue to cook down the beer and carmelize the onions. About 10 minutes turning the brats frequently.
Lessons learned, never puncture the brats, never use a skunky beer, always use real crusty rolls that get toasted when everything else is pulled off the egg and if inviting my teenage nephews, double the number of brats.
re: ThanksVille
Yes, those crusty hard rolls go great with brats.
I've found it to go in a couple trains of thought. You boil it to cook it so it retains its shape and doesn't break the casing on a grill or frying pan. OR you boil it for health reasons. Miniumum 165 degrees for ground meat, yada, yada, yada. OR if in a restaurant enviorment, it's much faster to par-boil, chill, then reheat to proper temp on a grill.
And the beer? I cooked around the midwest where they're pretty popular. Some there might say that water doesn't add nothing.
re: knucklesandwich
It can be, unless you remove the casings.
You're likely getting alot of the spices that go in the varities of sausages, brats, kielbasa, etc, especially if its in a sauce simmered for a long period of time. Dry spices LOVE low temp cooking
re: knucklesandwich
Cooking the sausage at a low simmer in beer before grilling is not to transfer beer flavor to the sausage, or vice versa. Sausage casings are not impervious to liquids so the sausage is, to some degree, infused with the flavor of the beer. When the sausage is removed from the beer boil some of the beer lingers at the surface of the sausage and when that contacts the grill the sugars in the beer coating brown and develop a richer flavor.
re: rochfood
re: rochfood
Thanks for the levity in a sometimes, all-too-serious, blog site!
re: rochfood
My Bodum french press years ago came with the warning that "boiling water and children should be kept apart."
Not sure if they still have that warning, but it cracked me up enough to cut it out and stick it on the fridge for awhile.
Knowing quite a few Wisconsinites, I have consumed probably more beer brats than I would prefer! That said, I don't think the beer really flavors it - I think it's more of a custom than anything. That, and you have raw ground pork here - boiling them first helps prevent drunken undercooking on the grill later!!!!
Because the onions you make in the "beer broth" are DELCIOUS when put on top of a brat, that's why, lol. ;-)
As a Wisconsinite, I do think beer adds some flavor, not a whole lot - but certainly some. I tend to soak mine, sometimes overnight, then simmer for a little bit and finish cooking them on the grill. With the beer broth, I cook it down with a ton of onions and add butter and they're delicious! I also know a lot of inexperienced grillers simply boil them in beer and toss them on the grill in fear of eating raw pork...
re: tiffeecanoe
When you've simmered them slowly in beer and they're as done as you like, try reducing the remaining broth to a syrupy consistency and drizzle that on the brats. Now there's some flavor for ya.
re: twodales
That's the way my family (ex-Wisconsinites) have always done it.
There have been some very lively discussions on this board in the past -- whether to grill first and then put in beer with onions, or the other way around.
re: karykat
I had always seen it the other way: boil then grill. I have to say I do like it better grilling first and then doing the beer bath. It seems less "fatty" to me but that is just my perception. It just tastes better too to my taste.
re: twodales
I need to try it that way.
One reason to grill then boil might just be convenience. If you're feeding a group, the brats can wait in the beer bath til you're ready.
re: twodales
As a graduate of UWSP, I've had my share of brats...here's how I do it --
simmer the brats in beer/onions until cooked completely (about 20 mins),
grill the brats,
then soak them in a bath of beer, green peps, garlic, and onion (I use a crock pot on the "warm" setting). you can serve people the brats right from the bath, or stick them on the grill for 30 seconds to dry them off. this has always been a crowd-pleaser....
re: LauraLG
Ahhhh. So both ways. Beer bath, grill and then beer bath again.
Sounds like the best of both worlds.
re: karykat
And if you're having a party, the post-grilling "holding tank" beer bath is a perfect way to prepare most (if not all) of your brats ahead of time...while your guests drink beers and hang out, the grilled brats are resting nicely in the bath...
re: LauraLG
We (also WI folks) would also put any left over burgers into the beer bath to hold them for round 2 or late comers.
The beer and onion liquid holding tank is a wonderful party invention.
Here's a great link from Serious Eats. Kenji cooked 18 pounds of sausages to figure out a way to get great flavor. I enjoyed it, and I'll be trying them one night next week.
That is a American method.
In Germany, Bratwürste are almost always grilled from raw on Charcoal.
I find the crisp skins and light char more to my liking than boiled, and they do not bust or dry out as long as care is taken in the cooking.
Here is another method from this site
re: acgold7
You'd be guessing incorrectly -- there are American sausages that aren't stuffed full of sugar and fillers, and plenty of European sausages that will turn into your abovementioned sticks of charcoal unless you're watching them intently. (chipolatas and merguez not only will burn to a crisp, but they're slender, so it will happen in the time it takes to go get the beer out of the fridge)
A big fat Toulouse sausage has a pretty high fat content -- which will flare a grill impressively high.
I'm more inclined to steam them first over water with a bunch of herbs in it. You can taste the herbs. I can taste the beer in beer brats, and I don't like it.
As someone who has half their family in Germany; I can't say anything about Wisconsin traditions, sorry :), I really only know the bratwurst, really ANY sausage as a boiled thing. And, I love them that way. Just some salt in the water. The flavor of the bratwurst with maybe some mustard is enough. However, grilled bratwursts DO exist in Germany, too--but I'd say they are more of the special situation version: street food, or grill parties. The standard base is boiled. Boiling it in beer seems unnecessary to me; why would I want it to taste like beer? Of course to each his own.
re: Wawsanham
it's like adding wine or beer to kraut, or cooking with any alcohol -- it doesn't necessarily make it taste like the cooking liquid, but there is no denying the depth and complexity of flavor that is added when cooking with alcohol.
Remember that there are three kinds of flavor compounds in food -- water-soluble (easy to release), fat-soluble (also easy), and alcohol-soluble. A little alcohol allows you to free *all** of the flavor compounds in your chow.
I always steam/boil the brats before finishing on the grill or frying because there's a better chance the centers will be fully cooked. I typically only make raw brats.
But if precooked, I will toss them in the frying pan or grill without boiling.
As someone who has lived their entire 33 years within 10 miles of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, the brat capital of the world, I do have some insight into the boil v. grill and vice-versa. The great majority of people in the area do grill the brats without boiling first. But I prefer to slow boil the brats in 1/2 beer-1/2 water mixture with onions first. And by the way, this is not a placebo effect. You can taste the difference between a brat boiled in beer and one boiled in water. I prefer to boil first only because you get the beer and onion taste infused into the brat as well as make sure it is cooked fully. Then all that needs to be done is to grill the brats for about 10 minutes, turning frequently. The bath afterwards works well if you cook a lot of brats for a large group of people. A double-brat on a Sheboygan hard roll with onions and sauerkrat (mustard and/or ketchup optional) is something everyone must try at least once in their life.
re: Packers12
Hi Packers12. Love that name by the way. Rodgers is one of my favorites of all time.
If you are fully cooking the brats by boiling them and then grilling them for 10 (!) minutes, how low is the grill temp that they do not end up overdone? Are you using just a little charcoal combined with very indirect heat?
I actually add chili spices, onions and garlic to the beer. I prefer a darker beer and love to use guinness. Have even used the left over poaching liquid as the base for a brat & cheese soup... had extra brats left over...
I heat them in the microwave in a microwave steamer. If you
had Green County WI Swiss style smoked brats youre really
missing something. Ed
Well, I don't know about boiling it in beer--seems a bit gussied up and twee. As for boiling, that's the main way I know them. For me, the grilled version is the exception--grill parties, maybe street food in Germany. My mom and grandmother were German, and at home we ate them about 3-4 times a month (a staple)--ALWAYS boiled.
re: Wawsanham
The traditional Wisconsin brat method is to boil them in beer and onions, then finish them on the grill.
re: sandylc
I only lived in Wisconsin for about a year, but I do have dozens of Wisconsin cousins. I simmer the brats in beer with caramelized onions, I think they add more flavor than just boiled onions. I prefer to put the brats back into the beer/onion broth after grilling. I like the onions on the brats as well. I don't think plain lager adds much beer flavor so I usually use a dark beer.
re: John E.
I don't even really like brats, but married into a Wisconsin family, so I eat them when it's unavoidable.
re: sandylc
Believe it or not, I did not eat my first brat until I was in college. I only cook them when there is a backyard gathering of some kind, never just brats for supper on a weeknight.
re: John E.
Totally believe it -- I never had a brat until I was in my very late 20s -- like sandylc, I married into a family of Cheeseheads.
re: sunshine842
I think it must have been that neither of my parents really liked them. Growing up in Minnesota, brats were readily available to us but for some reason they were not on the radar. I think my brother's family eats them once a week because they're easy to make. They also eat more grilled burgers and chicken breasts. (I grilled chicken thighs yesterday.)
re: John E.
we tend to eat brats mostly during football season (usually with a team wearing red/white or yellow/green. whoddathunkit)
re: sunshine842
Yellow/green I get. Red/white I can only come up with Arizona, but I don't know for sure. I don't know if decent brats are available in Arizona.
re: John E.
University of Wisconsin is red/white
re: sunshine842
Of course they are. I went to eight college football games last season to support maroon and gold. They were 8 - 2 and my nephew made all-conference for the third year in a row. They are the Concordia Cobbers. I had more fun watching Division III football the last four years than any other football. My nephew played in every game his four years of school and started every game for three seasons. My brother and other player parents cooked brats and burgers for the families of players at every home game. (Do you love n Wisconsin, or is this a long distance cheesehead support?)
re: John Francis
you get the Maillard effect -- you boil them in beer/onion/spices, THEN you broil or grill.
It works out wonderfully -- because the brats have been thoroughly cooked in the beer bath, you can grill them just until they're golden and tasty -- no worrying about them being done in the middle and near-char on the outside.
re: John Francis
I don't think brats should be boiled either. Just like eggs shouldn't be hard boiled. Brats should be simmered and eggs should be steamed.
I don't boil them, I poach them. I just bring a pot of water to a hard boil, drop in the brats and then turn off the flame and let them sit in the hot water for 10 minutes or so. I find that afterwards the skins won't break when I grill them.
After seeing this pop up again and reading some of the new comments, I'm not sure we are all talking about the same things.
I boil/simmer my brats in beer but I absolutely do it with raw brats. Not all brats are raw when you but them. The pre-cooked brats don't really need to be boiled but to cook a raw brat thoroughly on a grill isn't easy without burning it.
re: thimes
mine are raw when I buy them.
You could also invest in an electric food steamer. I used to cook turkey sausage in mine all the time, when I was trying to eat a bit healthier. But you can cook any full fat sausage in them first, then throw them on a grill for some color. If I was cooking them for a large group, I would boil or steam them first just to be safe, so you're not serving any raw ones.
Not to split hairs, but I don't get something.
Temperature of boiling water is 212F. Boil sausage for X minutes (until "done") and you've got an internal temp of anywhere from 190-210F, give or take.
USDA recommends that ground pork be cooked to 160F- but that's way high. Why? Because at 160F internal pathogens inside the sausage are killed in less than a second. At something like 150F internal, internal pathogens are killed in a matter of minutes (for full particulars of the pathogen death rates, see any decent sous vide website).
So the question is begged: why do people wilfully and intentionally massively overcook their sausages- either by boiling or by grilling?
Seems to me a better way to cook sausage might be to zing it up to 150Fish, either over indirect heat on a grill or by way of poaching, and then to crisp up the beautiful casing over a very hot flame grill.
Would it be blaspheme to suggest that the most important sausage-cooking tool that no-one ever uses would be a digital thermometer, inserted horizontally into the end of the meat?
re: biggreenmatt
Not splitting hairs - I agree.
And when I say "boil" - my method is more along your description of poaching and then onto a hot grill to crisp the casing.
I still find it difficult to get a thick raw brat reliably to temp on a grill. They always seem way over cooked or raw in the middle (which is bad for ground pork in particular) or just plain burned.
re: thimes
Also, by par-cooking the brats in beer before putting them on the grill, you cook off some of the fat, which reduces the flare-ups on the grill from fat dripping down -- another reason why this method results in nicely browned, rather than blackened, brats.
re: thimes
Indirect, gentle cooking heat, I think, would be the grilltop solution.
re: biggreenmatt
yes, of course it can be done on a grill - it just requires way too much tending for me for no real benefit (my opinion).
And then you don't have the left-over beer/onion broth to keep the left-overs warm in for round 2 later in the day (as I mentioned above).
And if you're really a glutton, the beer makes a great beer/cheese soup (very Wisconsin).
So the poach in beer method is all benefit for me :D
re: thimes
Gotcha. My personal preference is for more charcoal smoke flavour, but in no way would I dare malign the Traditional Wisconsonian Method! :)
I par-cook my bratwurst in an oven ahead of time and then hold them until it's time to grill. I can prep at least 80 sausages on baking sheets in my oven in 20 min or so. Cleanup is also far easier than dealing with a greasy pot, especially if you line your baking sheets with foil or parchment.
Grilling can then be done quickly at high heat to stripe them and provide for caramelization with minimal shrinkage. The key to the par cooking is low heat and to remove the brats when they have just grayed over. Prick the sausages ahead of time to reduce curling. They can then be held in trays until you are ready to use them.
I find that the dry heat of the oven dehydrates the skin just slightly and I believe it contributes to a crisper texture coming off the grill without sacrificing interior moistness or size. The fast grilling, preferably over a charcoal fire, produces an attractive brat that fills its bun, maintains its juiciness, but minimizes the "napalm" effect.
Not to offend anyone, but I find that boiling sometimes produces a rubbery texture depending on casing. As for any subtly that, say, a beer broth might add, my personal choice to address that aspect with the condiment - mustard, honey mustard, horseradish sauce, etc. It's a matter of trade-off, habit and taste.
I've used this method for years and find it provides consistently good results in both presentation and taste, and is a particularly fast way to cycle brats out to large crowd.
re: garageCook
>>>Prick the sausages ahead of time to reduce curling<<<
Interesting. I would think that would cause the sausages to exude moisture during the cooking process and therefore result in a dry, unpleasant tasting sausage.

re: sunshine842
Bet on the over. That way your AM can lose but you will still make money and be able to purchase some brats.
re: Fowler
the brats are easy -- it will be the taunting from hubby that will be the issue! :) (nah...he realizes it's a pretty lopsided matchup)
re: garageCook
I poach my brats prior to grilling, in order to keep the skins from bursting when I grill them, thereby making them lose their juice. I woudl imagine pricking them would also allow the juice out.
I like the idea of par-cooking them in a low oven, as I imagine that for sure the skin gets crisper when grilled.
Thanks for the insights.
re: Puffin3
not available to US viewers.
A little late to this but I have a question. For some reason I thought brats had to be boiled first in beer and butter. Lots of butter. Is this an urban legend? It's the main reason I haven't made them this summer. I have a good source for the meat and it's still grilling weather. Thanks in advance.
re: Berheenia
When you "boil" any protein.....including sausages the protein strands contract and squeeze out the moisture. Slow simmer and the protein strands stay relaxed and what you are eating will be moist.
This applies to any form of protein.
Heston Blumenthal is considered by his peers as one of the best chefs in the world. He 'simmers' protein based foods not "boils". As do I.
re: Berheenia
re: Berheenia
it is not a urban legend but rather 'just another technique' - which depending on which German from what region you happen to meet,,, is either 'authentic' or could be a mortal sin.
fresh sausage (i.e. the kind you cook - bratwurst is just one type that has a few billion definitions inside and outside of Germany) typically has a high fat content. heat is not absorbed rapidly by fat, adding to that, the fat needs to reach temperature before it begins to render out/melt and make for good flavor. add to that, they do need to be cooked through.
cooking them "too fast" results in burnt outsides and uncooked / undercooked / unrendered insides. it's just that simple.
the boil / bake / roast methods are intended to get them thoroughly cooked, followed - usually - by grilling / frying to crisp / color up the outside. as pointed out by a number of folks, yes - you can grill them _slowly_ and get the same result. the burner knob is your best friend in this approach.
and, putting all that aside, there are some recipes - BlaueZipfel is one - where all the cooking is done in liquid (for Blaue=tipsy sausages, beer + flavors/spices.) it is not a 'grilled' dish.
re: Berheenia
cup of butter....
like a good sausage needs more fat?
me thinks you can go without.
re: PSRaT
If you google 'brat recipe' the first one that comes up is this. This is why I decided to ask the experts on chowhound.
For the nfl season of n Monday night football I do a Boiled Brat pot with a simple seasoning in the water.
In a medium size pot..... Add 4 cups water.....1 tsp garlic powder....1/2 tsp paprika....1/2 tsp dill seed.....1/2 tsp ground mustard....1/2 tsp kosher salt. Add brats or hot dogs and cover....bring to a boil...then simmer throughout the evening (covered) as you watch the game. The color and aroma of the water is magnificent. I like my brats on a hot dog bun topped with heaping drained sauerkraut and mustard.
On Tuesday evening when you return home from work...that wonderfully funky delicatessen smell of garlic, dill etc will still reek throughout the house.....should clear by Wednesday morning....lol, My two dogs (age 14 a piece) on Monday evenings are layed out by the kitchen entrance where the aroma sifts off knowing that they are going to share a brat. Enjoy!
definitely different than just cooked on the grill. I put the bratwurst in a pan, cover with sauerkraut than pour in the largest cheapest beer I can find to above the kraut. After Boiling, the skin or casing is usually gone or disolved. Care must be exerted putting in the bun, but they are amazing. My wife prefers them on the grill or cooked under the broiler. My kids and I love them boiled in kraut and beer.
Why beer? Milwaukee was once the home of numerous German breweries. The workers were allowed an allotment of beer to take home with them each day. The housewives quickly learned what to do with any excess beer: use it to simmer brats, spareribs, etc., often with a few sliced onions.
Simmering the brats beforehand ensures they will be cooked through after browning them on the grill. If you are cooking for a crowd, open-house style, you can grill up a bunch of brats then finish them in the simmering beer, keeping them warm and servable for several hours.
Here in Wisconsin I've seen them done both ways, and both are delicious.
re: elegraph
simmering and/or braising meat in alcohol is much, much older than the breweries in Milwaukee.

Five critical fixes on deck for Patch Tuesday
Microsoft is planning to release at least five critical fixes in next week's Patch Tuesday monthly security update. The company said that the planned patch release will include fixes for critical remote code execution flaws in versions of Windows, Office, and Internet Explorer, as well as Microsoft Exchange Server. Among the …
Why is this even news?
Updates are a regular thing. Why is this even news worthy?
Re: Why is this even news?
Cause Microsoft gets a mention ..
Re: Why is this even news?
To get the Linux trolls biting.
Re: Why is this even news?
Some Windows users like to have a heads up when patch Tuesday comes around. I appreciate Reg's report. Next time just skip this story.
'Adobe has also set aside the second Tuesday of the year for its scheduled security updates, though the company has yet to give word on any upcoming patch releases'
Really. That would be nice actually. Seems I can't reboot a workstation without Adobe wanting attention... Can't be just me.
oh pendant alert: "Tuesday of the year" - I believe there's 52 Tuesdays per year, which one do you speak of?
Re: Adobe
Which one? I believe it said the second one.
Mind you, if Adobe used all 52 and added Fridays too, it would be barely enough to patch their buggy crap.
Re: Adobe
Got ya... so Adobe updates will arrive on January 14th - that clears that up - thanks!

Can't Win!
If they don't fix it people complain and when they do it's still Windows.
Re: Can't Win!
"If they don't fix it people complain and when they do it's still Windows."
Here's an idea...
Why don't they record what caused these holes, then train their developers to not make the holes in the first place by a)Fixing the libraries they use (if that's the problem) or b)Fixing the developers.
Because then they'd only pay them once to write the code and could work on the next version in peace.
Re: Can't Win!
@John Smith 19
Probably because the more that you over-plumb a piece of software, whether it be an OS or an app like Adobe Reader, the more it's a nightmare to detect and plug security holes.
There's a (small) excuse for OS's - especially windows which is a generalised OS designed for non-tech people. With Adobe and other app producing companies? I don't think they have as much excuse.
Re: Can't Win!
"Why don't they record what caused these holes, then train their developers to not make the holes in the first place"
They already do that - and have lots of automated tools to find vulnerabilities as well - current Microsoft OSs have far fewer security vulnerabilities with fewer days at risk than other options such as enterprise Linux distributions or OS-X....Ditto the IE browser compared to Chrome, Firefox or Safari....
Why so many versions of Office?
Microsoft wastes good talent tweaking and changing Office when they should use the programmers' time to actually improve the security which they obviously did not work on. 2003 is just as good as latest verson of Office. The only reason they change the cosmetics are (1) to make files incompatible with old versions and (2) sell the same stuff a second time to those suckers who already own it. Open Office and Libre Office are good enough.
Re: Why so many versions of Office?
"Open Office and Libre Office are good enough."
Instead of Notepad maybe. Not in the real world when compared to MS Office....
Re: Why so many versions of Office?
There may be a few places where Libre or Open office doesn't tick all the boxes but we might be better served writing documents that don't require a specific band of closed software.
I've used Open office / Libre office for years simply because I want to know I can work anywhere without being gouged or tripping over version problems.
Mind you MS have really handed the Open office people some help with the ribbon.
Drive the mentality that for any use you need "this specific bit of recognisable MS ware" then take away the gui people are used to amazingly some will wake from the MS stupor and look around "it's just software".
If you have enough mental agility to see beyond the software brand to the actual functionality you have greater freedom and more employability. In my world the ribbon has added no productivity just irritation and frustration.
People get used to (read productive) knowing set commands are in set locations, moving them or trying to work out "what is this ribbon offering me now?" breaks the mental flow and makes about as much sense as Metro on the desktop.
MS had the horse and are now busy turning it into a half-camel to prove "change is good".
Re: Why so many versions of Office?
Because the paramount objective of new software is functionality, not security. How many new waypoints do you think are created with new code, and do you not think the tools test for as many possible variables as are known?

Last month, Audi announced that it would focus its Super Bowl XLVIII airtime on its new 2015 A3, but a new teaser video promises "something unexpected." Even though there's not so much as a single car in this 20-second teaser, we don't doubt that Audi has created an interesting and creative commercial based on what we've seen in recent Super Bowl ads from the automaker.
While we don't exactly see what could be scary or unexpected about the A3 (or even the S3), there is still the chance that Audi has something up its advertising sleeve for the Big Game. We only have to wait a couple more weeks to find out for sure, but in the meantime, the short video is posted below.

Have you ever wondered what a Twin Peaks video game would look like? Apparently there were plans for a Nintendo game that never made it off the ground.

Plus, the game seems to lack much of a coherent plot or sensible gameplay. And it's extremely slow to get started (not so different from the show); not much happens until around 1 minute into the video below.... READ ON
In 1986, at the height of his career (as It's Garry Shandling's Show was starting), comedian Garry Shandling did a Pizza Hut ad. Here it is:

Shark Boy wins the Brian Pillman Memorial 1999

@kevinhunsperger & @my123cents
I did a very brief blog years ago on Shark Boy when I wrote something about Shark Week and of course tied in the wrestling connection. I just listened to Shark Boy on Colt Cabana's Art of Wrestling Podcast, and felt compelled to update my thoughts on him.
I love listening to Colt's show and learning more about guys I don't know a whole lot about. I vaguely remember Shark Boy during his stint in WCW. I remember him well in TNA in the early days of the Wednesday night pay per views. And it's no secret here, my tag team partner here at My 1-2-3 Cents, Chad is a "mark for the shark", sporting a Shark Boy mask at one of those Nashville shows. He even got to meet Shark Boy.
Chad meets Shark Boy
Photo from My 1-2-3 Cents
Interesting facts I learned on Shark Boy's podcast: He trademarked the name years ago when he signed with WCW. It was a smart move as all his hard work "swimming" through the indies wasn't gobbled up by Vince McMahon in 2001. He started off as El Piranha, a luchador fish gimmick, but it was Ian Rotten who helped change his name. I never noticed Mick Foley was wearing a Shark Boy shirt in match with The Rock at the 1999 Royal Rumble. I also gained more respect for Shark Boy after learning he fought for his name after the release of the movie "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl."
Another tidbit, on a personal note, we both have sons who are the same age and both run cross country. I'm the only one who probably cares about that, but I thought it was interesting.
Oh Shell Yeah!
Photo from TNA
I always liked Shark Boy in TNA. I thought the "Stone Cold" Steve Austin tribute was creative, but as a WWE mark, I thought it was TNA's attempt to cash in on yet another WWE guy. I wish Shark Boy could have gotten more over without the help of imitating someone else, but it worked for him at the time, and like I said, it was entertaining.
One of his shining moments (in my view) was winning the Brian Pillman Memorial Show in 1999. While it took him to WCW and TNA as well as other independent companies, Shark Boy never rode the wave of success to the WWE. He says in the podcast Stephanie McMahon once complimented him, but joked that while he had the talent he didn't have the size to compete in the WWE. I think had he gotten in the business 10 years later than he did, he'd have a place on the roster right now.
He still wrestles occasionally, but if you'd like to learn more about Shark Boy, search for him on YouTube or

for his website.

I started using it for an old personal startup and then began using it as a base solution for almost all of my projects (I provide web solutions to agencies, so I did lot of different solutions, from multivendor websites to institutionals', all using Mighty/Cobalt).
I have experienced its quality, surf the code, change it, customized it, talked to support frequently. All is an awesome experience.
Frankly, I think this solution is great and I haven't had second thoughts on supporting the team behind. I certainly became a great fan! It's amazing what you can do with this extension and a bit of imagination!

5 Funniest Presidential Ads of 2012 [VIDEO]
We've looked over the 5 Funniest Congressional Ads of 2012 and the 5 Funniest Local Campaign Ads of 2012, but who among us can resist the urge to revisit the fact that Herman Cain actually ran for president?
Best Trolling of Social Conservatives
Campaign: Obama for America
The Ad: "Lena Dunham: Your First Time." Compared casting a ballot to losing one's virginity. Considering it took 3 hours instead of 30 seconds to cast a ballot in Florida, this turned out to be very, very far from the truth.
Best Ron Paul Ad
Campaign: Ron Paul Presidential Campaign Committee
The Ad: "Big Dog." If Spike TV and CSPAN had a child, then abandoned this child to be raised by The Man Show, that child would grow up to be this insane ad.
Best Meta-Criticism of the Campaign Process
Campaign: Obama for America
The Ad: "Big Bird." Barack Obama, in another campaign ad: "Sometimes politics can seem very small." Obama campaign team: "Let's do an ad about Big Bird."
Best Anti-Smoking PSA
Someone disabled embedding for this ad, so you'll have to watch it on YouTube. That's probably the only thing stopping this ad from becoming the Most Embedded Video (For Purposes of Laughing At, Not With) Of All Time.
Campaign: Friends of Herman Cain
The Ad: "Now is the time for action." On the surface it's a Cain for President advertisement. Beneath the surface the message reads: Kids, if you smoke, you too will end up making a cameo in an ad for the most ridiculed of failed presidential candidates. Don't do it.
The Have Pity on Rick Perry Award of 2012
Campaign: Rick Perry for President
The Ad: "Rick Perry Forgets Line Again!" He ran a relentlessly reactionary and homophobic campaign, but at least he knew exactly how much he sucked.
Tags: Advertising, Barack Obama, Herman Cain, Lena Dunham, Rick Perry, Ron Paul

Join us in this beautiful, secluded Cotswold valley for six restful days. We will have plenty of time for ourselves, for connecting with others, for enjoying delicious food and the surrounding countryside. Within our schedule, we will focus on learning and experiencing the basic practices of mindfulness, which can help us both personally and professionally.
Many teachers and youth workers are already developing their own mindfulness practice and would like to take this into the workplace. This retreat will therefore offer the opportunity both to deepen our own practice and to develop strategies for introducing mindfulness in the classroom, school or work setting. We will have the opportunity to learn from the difficulties and successes that we have already met bringing mindfulness into education. We will also consider how we may support one another as a community of educators both during the retreat and thereafter. This retreat is suitable for all educators and will result in Wake Up Schools Stage 1 certification on completion.
This retreat is suitable for all educators. Facilitators include Michael Schwammberger, Miles Dunmore and Pilar Aguera, and will offered within the context the Plum Village Wake Up Schools initiative. Bed £360, Tent £260. Book Now

The YC Mud Run is a 2 and 4 mile obstacle course race that combines the most rugged terrain and burly obstacles to allow those with a sense of adventure to define themselves, then bask in glory at a rocking after party with food and DJ.
For the tiniest fraction of a second you realize running a race through obstacles, walls, ropes, – and yes, YC Mud Run – is surely the most insanely off-the-wall lifetime event you ever signed up to do. And then you come to your senses… Oh Yeah!
There are a number of ways to celebrate life and enjoy your time while on this earth, but nothing might come quite as close to true celebration like the YC Mud Run. Our races redefine insanity! When you take part in a YC Mud Run, you'll challenge yourself in ways you didn't think were possible.
Unlike other races, we won't run you around a golf course or parking lot and proclaim it rugged. We won't make you wait in ridiculous lines mid-course and pretend you've been challenged. Instead, we offer a truly challenging and well-organized course that beats all others. But you don't have to take our word for it. Check out what people are saying about us on Facebook.

Kawasaki Kids Foundation
Kawasaki Disease (KD), also known as Kawasaki syndrome, is a serious illness characterized by inflammation of blood vessels throughout the body that primarily affects young children and infants. Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children. Although about 80 percent of patients are under five years of age, older children and teenagers can also get KD, but this is uncommon. KD is more common in boys than girls, and the majority of cases are diagnosed in the winter and early spring.
Girls on the Run
We provide a safe environment where girls can express themselves, build confidence, and learn from each other. We believe it is critical to reach girls at an early age in order to teach them these important life lessons and to prevent at-risk behavior such as eating disorders, substance abuse, depression, obesity, and adolescent pregnancies.

Renault to unveil new Clio at Paris show in September
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on May 3rd, 2012 at 8:00AM
The supermini market is a vital one for European automakers, and though its current Clio remains a popular choice, Renault is not about to rest on its proverbial laurels as its most popular model gets older and less relevant. So with that in mind, the French carmaker is apparently preparing to unveil an all-new Clio hatchback at the next major auto salon. That show won't be taking place until September when Renault's home-market Paris Auto Salon opens its doors at the Port de Versailles, but a pair of teaser shots have already surfaced giving us a tiny glimpse at what to expect.

Modeling Financial Training Classes
Financial modeling is a skill that any investment banking analyst will have to master. Although the majority of investment banks and other financial firms now have formal training programs for financial modeling, many students and prospective finance professionals choose to enroll in self-study financial modeling training programs to be more competitive to potential employers and position themselves as valuable assets to the firms from day one.
Wall Street Prep financial modeling courses and review programs are the best way to get a leg up on your competition. As an example, the Premium Corporate Valuation and Financial Modeling Program includes:

- Completed and blank Excel model templates on CD-ROM for hands-on practice

- Free 2-year support upon enrollment, with private tutoring available
- Wall Street Prep certification in financial modeling and valuation modeling
Why Wall Street Prep Financial Modeling Classes?
The beauty of a comprehensive self-study financial modeling training package is that you can pick up the same skills from these financial modeling courses that you would in classroom, but do it at your own pace and on your own schedule.
The Premium Package bridges the gap between academics and the real world to train prospective finance professionals with the practical financial modeling skills you will need in your first finance job position. You will work through financial models in-depth and from scratch using intuitive, step-by-step instructions and detailed financial model templates. These financial modeling classes mimic the work and financial models that are actually used at real investment banks and financial firms.
The Wall Street Prep financial modeling training utilizes a case study format, so students follow a tutorial guide along with Excel model templates. You will be introduced to the external resources used at investment banks to create financial models – including SEC filings, research reports and more – in order to build comprehensive financial models the way you will at a financial firm.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- The Green Bay Packers say they have posted a record $43 million in profit over the last fiscal year.
As the NFL's only public team, the Packers have to release a financial report each year. The team provided its 2011-12 numbers Tuesday.
The Packers reported records for total revenue ($302 million) and net income ($42.7 million). Team officials credit the fact that Green Bay played the season as the defending Super Bowl champs and opened the season 13-0.
Packers president Mark Murphy says it helped that labor issues were resolved just before last season's training camps kicked off, meaning fans didn't miss anything.
The revenue figures don't include the $64 million raised through a six-week stock sale around the Christmas season.

November 27, 2014
08-14-06 – A high speed chase ended about 11AM in Fannin County on Monday.
Police say they were trying to pull 26-year-old Sammy Lynn Key over in Colbert for an out of date tag, and that's when the chase began.
Police say Key led them from Highway 91 in Colbert, through Grayson County - to Savoy, where the chase ended right behind the TXU plant.
Authorities say the Key drove through and broke down the gate at TXU and then took off on foot. That's when police were able to catch him.
Five agencies worked this case: Grayson County, Achille, Calera, Bells Police, and the Texas DPS.
During the chase, police actually put down spike strips in the Carpenter's Bluff area, and that was able to take out the front left tire of the Keith's white Dodge pickup. However, Key continued driving on the rim, causing sparks, which started a small grass fire in Bells. Fire crews were able to put that fire out.
Key is being held in the Grayson County Jail.

Westlife I'm Already There Lyrics
Last updated: 02/09/2014 06:22:04 PM
He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say I love you one more time
But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye
A little voice came on the phone
Said daddy when you coming home
He said the first thing that came to his mind
Im already there
Take a look around
Im the sunshine in your hair
Im the shadow on the ground
Im the whisper in the wind
Im your imaginary friend
And I know Im in your prayers
Oh Im already there
She got back on the phone
Said I really miss you darling
Dont worry about the kids theyll be alright
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that Ill be in your dreams tonight
And Ill gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes
Im already there
Dont make a sound
Im the beat in your heart
Im the moonlight shining down
Im the whisper in the wind
And Ill be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh Im already there
We may be a thousand miles apart
But Ill be with you wherever you are
Im already there
Take a look around
Im the sunshine in your hair
Im the shadow on the ground
Im the whisper in the wind
And Ill be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share
Oh Im already there
Oh Im already
Thanks to Ross for submitting I'm Already There Lyrics.
