Get Down with the Matriarchy at Claudette

I consider jury duty the carbuncle on the backside of my life. I've wriggled and wrangled and just plain lied to get out of it. This time, however, there was no stalling; I had to show up. My service was blessedly brief, consisting mainly of long waits on hard benches and televisions blaring items about how happy my civic duty was making me. The only upside was discovering Montague Street. While the first block is one of Brooklyn's banking hubs, the second looks like the main drag of a small town. A tiny flower shop brightens the street, while boutiques offer clothing and chotchkes; even the supermarket and the national chains seem human scale. But the bucolic pace changes each weekday from noon till mid afternoon, when the courts disgorge bureaucrats and their peers, all in search of a quick lunch.
Mercifully, my term in the halls of justice only afforded me the time for one lunch, but it piqued my curiosity, and soon I was back to play restaurant beat-the-clock in anticipation of future sentences. My challenge: find a formal establishment where I could complete a full meal with wine in 45 minutes. Discounting the Indian buffet place and the recommended sushi bar as too easy, I selected Armando Ristorante, a clubby Italian eatery that's been around since 1936. Dark quartersawn wainscoting, vintage photographs of movie stars past, crisp white tablecloths, and deal-cutting booths were the lures. Vases of fragrant lilies and a full bar complete with smokers' table also helped.
My waitress, Catherine, didn't flinch when I told her I had to be out in 45 minutes. No problem, she'd be my timekeeper. My order for hard-to-find bay scallops ($15.95) was duly taken, and I'd only tasted the house chianti when the first course appeared. The steaming-hot bowl of minestrone ($3.75), rich with diced zucchini, carrot, onion, white beans, and pasta, would have been enough for a light meal along with a few pieces of the sesame-dotted country bread. Power brokers gathered as I sipped and supped, and Catherine soon reappeared with the salad and inquired if she should request the main order. I nibbled on the usual iceberg and cukes, set off here by an oregano-laced vinaigrette. I'd been skeptical about the scallops, but they convinced me when they arrived: teensy nubbins of sweetness lightly battered, tenderly cooked, and sitting in a puddle of lemon butter faintly scented with garlic. Catherine reappeared again to check my pace and to see if I needed anything. I settled for coffee, which came with a bracing jolt of anisette ($2.75). The pendulum clock was striking the exact minute as the check was presented.
143 Montague St.
Brooklyn, NY 11201-3509
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: Brooklyn
Open daily 11:30am to midnight.
Major credit cards. Limited wheelchair access.
Armando's was too good to be relegated to beat-the-clock, so I was back in the evening for a more leisurely repast. An order of fried zucchini shoestrings with a thick anchovy dipping sauce was crisp outside yet unctuously toothsome ($5.50). The carpaccio di manzo ($9.95), translucent thin slices of tenderloin atop crisp arugula with parmesan shavings, was textbook perfect. Two thick pork chops piazziola ($12.95), topped with a memorable tomato sauce dense with onion, mushrooms, and roasted garlic, were hearty and robust if a bit overcooked. Classic zabaglione and strawberries ($5) completed the day's cholesterol and contributed to my well-rounded satiety. Play beat-the-clock if you must, but nothing beats leisure at table.

The Mississippi River Flood of 1927 was the most destructive river flood in American history. In the spring of 1927, the river broke out of its earthen embankments in 145 places and inundated 27,000 square miles. Part of its legacy was the forced exodus of displaced sharecroppers, who left plantation life and migrated to Northern cities, adapting to an industrial society with its own set of challenges. For this film, director Bill Morrison scoured film archives for footage documenting the event, and for the score, guitarist Bill Frisell dreew upon his wide musical palette informed by American roots music.

Teenagers didn't always exist. They had to be invented. As the cultural landscape around the world was thrown into turmoil during the industrial revolution, and with a chasm erupting between adults and youth, the concept of a new generation took shape. Whether in America, England, or Germany, whether party-crazed Flappers or hip Swing Kids, zealous Nazi Youth or frenzied Sub-Debs, it didn't matter - this was a new idea of how people come of age. They were all 'Teenagers.' A hypnotic rumination on the genesis of youth culture from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th, TEENAGE is a living collage of rare archival material, filmed portraits, and diary entries read by Jena Malone, Ben Whishaw, and others. Set to a a shimmering contemporary score by Bradford Cox (Deerhunter / Atlas Sound), TEENAGE is a mesmerizing trip into the past and a riveting look at the very idea of 'coming-of-age.'

Pasta Fagioli
- SaraASR Oct 21, 2009 07:36 AM
Believe it or not, I had Pasta Fagioli for the first time ever last night... and I'm already hooked! What a healthy, hearty, and delicious soup for the fall and winter. I quickly Googled the recipe, and they all seem to be pretty much the same. However, does anyone have a standout Pasta Fagioli recipe or tips/tricks that's a must make?
I've been making Giada's for a while now, love love love it!!!
Although, I use the fresh herbs and leave them in it rather then a sachet (taking it out as she does).
I will also add some nice sausage if I'm looking to meat it up!!!
Actually, I've had it meatless....or with Italian sausage....or with ground beef...so there are definitely variations out there! What was in the one you loved? Epicurious currently has a meatless one on their "most popular" list, for what it's worth!
re: cassoulady
Oh yeah. And it just has to be served with vinegar peppers on the side- that's a must.
re: cassoulady
Re: the parmesan rind. I can never find it at the end of cooking and someone usually finds it when eating the sauce or soup and eats it anyway, so I have started chopping up my rinds into smaller bits and not bothering to look for them.
I follow the recipe of my grandmother, the simple version and the one with the mussels are also common in Italy.
Mine is an old recipe of Naples, I try to translate it:
The picture and original original text here:)
http://croce-delizia.blogspot.com/200... (translator on the top right
Pasta e fagioli con le cozze
300 g short pasta
300 g dried cannellini beans
1 kg of mussels,
1 rib of celery
2 cloves garlic
4 or 5 tomatoes
extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
The first step is to soak dried beans.
Soak for at least 12 hours. Then rinse and pour into a saucepan with cold water, a clove of garlic, a stalk of celery and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil and cook long and slowly, simmer, absolutely no cover and no salt, for about 2 hours. Drain the beans and keep a little 'cooking water filtered.
Making fried in an earthenware pot with a little oil (3-4 tablespoons) a clove of crushed garlic, half a stick of celery and a sliced red pepper (if you like, otherwise it is completed with a generous grinding of pepper directly into plate).
( My grandmother at this point add the pork rind in recent times often replaced by the crust of the grain, "why do not you throw anything away, that cooking in the soup tends to melt some more seasoning and the dish it remains a chewy crust that is a real pleasure to eat. )
Instead we continue to make the pasta and beans with mussels ...
Add a bit 'of water, three or four fingers, and bake for fifteen minutes then add the crushed tomatoes, the cooked beans and a little' cooking water of those previously put aside. Cook for 30 minutes or more, so that amalgamate the flavors and the beans to complete their cooking.
Removed some of the beans from the pan and pass it through a sieve and then bringing the past to the soup on the fire.
Clean mussels, wash them, put them in a large pan on the fire to efatele open flame, peel and reserve the cooking liquid that you are going to add all or part of the bean soup.
Salt: I always prefer to add it to the end because the right dose will depend on the amount of liquid released from the mussels that you are going to add to the soup.
Cook the pasta in plenty of water, not too salty. Drain and add half-cooked beans to finish cooking and a few seconds before turning off the flame add also shelled mussels.
Depending on your personal taste, you can still add the cooking water or the filtrate of mussels (always being careful to salt), so superior computing soup more or less dense.
Pasta and beans is very good hot, but you should definitely try it the next day, cold, and then let me know.
Here's my tried and true.... probably changed over the years from my family's recipe but very tasty and satisfying. A mixed veggie tossed salad would be served after the soup.
2 tablespoons EVOO
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 medium onion chopped
2 quarts chicken stock
3 cups cooked kidney or cannellini beans
2 cups pasta: small shells, or any of the other small macaroni
Salt, pepper and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes
In a heavy pot heat olive oil over high heat until it is almost smoking. Add the parsley and the onions and cook over high heat, until they are browned about 8 to10 minutes. Add the chicken stock and the cooked beans and bring to a boil. Add seasonings to your taste. Add the pasta and cook till done. Remove from heat and allow to rest 10 minutes. Grate Pecorino Romano generously over each serving.
Note: The amounts may vary according to how much you want to make.
Sometimes I start with 1/4 cup diced pancetta.
If I have any leftover macaroni sauce I add that in.
You can serve with a fresh baked loaf of Italian bread if you desire.
re: cassoulady
I used to use dried beans but now I mostly use canned, Goya usually. It's just easier for me these days. I have a recipe I like for dried pinto beans and if I've made a large amount of those beans, I use some of them in the pasta e fagioli.
re: SaraASR
I love the kidney myself, I also love what blending about a cup of the soup with beans (then adding back in) before adding the pasta does. Makes it a bit creamy.
re: SaraASR
Sara, I really do not think it matters which beans one uses. In fact I remember my mother using chick peas with this soup sometimes. The thing about Italian cooking is that one uses whatever one has on hand to bring the dish to the satisfaction of the family, and the nearest approximation of what the dish should taste like. Every family has their own rendition of whatever dish and even within the family there are variations of the same dish. And that goes for here in the the USA and in Italy.
re: Gio
This is almost exactly the same as Mario Batali's recipe. Cooking the parsley for a full 10 minutes was a test of faith the first time I made it. But what an amazing amount of flavor. I save the bits and pieces of pasta when I make it as home in the freezer to throw into the soup.
However, I only put pasta into the soup I will serve that night. The first time, I stored the pasta in the soup and was shocked to find a soggy mess of pasta and no soup in the tupperware the next day.
After plating your pasta e fagioli, just before serving, do ONE of the following but not both. Add a small pat of lightly salted butter, OR drizzle the plate with a good EVOO to finish the dish. Your pasta e fagioli will suddenly become memorable then because these two lastly added ingredients will put it over the top. ; - )
re: Cheese Boy
Yum, Thanks!
I don't make my pasta fagioli as a soup. I make it as a pasta dish without tomatoes. Garlic, beans olive oil, sea salt and parsley. Cook the pasta, add to this mixture and use the pasta water to thin out the beans. Toss with pecorino romano. You could add tomatoes to this. I believe that this is a particular method that is made around Salerno, which was where my mother's family came from. Th only place I've ever had it where it was so close to my mother's version was at Rao's in East Harlem.
re: roxlet
For last night's supper I combined cooked lentils(some carrots,onions ,garlic etc) with escarole, after cooking broken spaghetti in the escarole broth I added the legumes and cooked escarole finishing with evo , grated cheese and course black pepper.,Fava beans and escarole or spinach .also work .
re: scunge
Sounds delish, but it's not pasta fazool! My mother would also make pasta and lentils on a regular basis. Or pasta and chickpeas. When she made the chickpeas with pasta, she usually made a very thin tomato sauce out of tomato juice. This dish had lots of ground black pepper in it.
re: roxlet
Try those little cans of V8 with your pasta and legume combos.
Decent, very decent results. Be sure not to overpour though. A hint is plenty.
re: roxlet
Thanks, roxlet, I was wondering where this style of pasta e fagioli comes from! For many years our latenight pantry dinner standby has been a similar recipe from Julia della Croce's "Vegetarian table: Italy" book. It's ditalini with cannellini beans or chickpeas, tossed with rosemary and onions softened in a generous amount of olive oil and black pepper. The onions aren't browned - this dish is not good with a sweet onion flavour - rather just bog standard yellow or red onions softened until a few of them just begin to brown around the edges. No cheese.
We vary the proportions: sometimes a pound of pasta to one can of beans, other times two cans of beans to a half pound of pasta. A deeply comforting meal either way.
We'll have to try your way with garlic and parsley and pecorino romano very soon - sounds wonderful.
re: roxlet
My wife makes a version with kidney beans, spinach, carrot and potato which is quite nice - from the Canadian Living Cookbook 'Best Vegetarian Dishes', for those Canucks who can get it. Ah, just found the recipe online here: http://www.canadianliving.com/food/pa... - we've never made it with Black forest Ham though; even if this is something you have at hand, it doesn't feel terribly Italian!
Recently I made a pasta fagioli with lima beans. I also used cannelini beans and pureed most of them for creaminess. So hearty! Pic below.
There are without two basic versions: a Northern one without tomatoes and Southern one with. For the Northern, use cranberry beans instead of kidney beans and either sage or rosemary as the herb. For the Southern style, use cannellini beans and oregano or marjoram as the herb. Ditalini, please, as the pasta.
Bacon, pancetta, or prosciutto in small amounts in both.

This Month's Picks
Family (CD)
"My father is one of the greats to ever step on a stage. My mother has the most beautiful voice in the world. And I am betwixt and between. Sean Lennon, you know what I mean. Born to the manor, never quite clamoring free. It's Family." The self-titled opener sung by Teddy Thompson lays the foundation for this supergroup. The album itself contains each member of the Thompson family sharing their own musical styles and lyrical preferences. And like any family, each member finds a unique way to fit into the machine yet still maintain individuality. Teddy (the son) came up with the concept and laid down the simple folky opener "Family" as well as the witty countrified "Right." Kami Thompson (the daughter) of the folk duo The Rails, bursts brightly from the album with the up tempo folk rocker "Careful." It isn't until the proud mother and father take the lead, that the albums concept truly shines. Linda's beautiful song to her son "Bonny Boys," is teaming with motherly advice and unconditional love. Then "That's Enough," a populist protest song led by Richard accented by his family assisting him in the chorus "We still keep falling for the same old lies. Time's Are Tough, That's Enough. Both songs give glimpses of an intimacy which can only be shared by the family who truly loves one another. Though the Thompson's have had their share of trial and tribulations throughout the years, those bonds still find their way to form a solid folk record.More
Hypnotized (CD)
Dream Police
Founding members of Brooklyn's Indie Punk outfit The Men, Mark Perro and Nick Chiericozzi have found yet another outlet for their creative genre reinventing style. Dream Police is a kraut influenced, drum machine led, drone combo. The sound is repetitive, the noise is restrained, and it still f*cking rocks! At first glance Hypnotized seems like it should be a standard side project record. Members of a group that have gotten an itch to try a new sound that doesn't fit under the moniker of their already successful band. However, Dream Police is not a side project. Therefore, any sonic discoveries that Mark and Nick (along with Kyle Keays-Hagerman) make in Hypnotized have nothing to do with pushing The Men out of their comfort zone. A serious plus because it allows for the drone of their new sound to maintain a familiar tone in the guitar work that just sounds like bitchin' classic rock. With that touchstone in place, the record meanders through several genres. "Hypnotized" appropriately opens with a sparse Spacemen 3 guitar inspired drone with sweet guitar licks over the noise. When the drum machine kicks in about a minute into the record the noise seems to revitalize and take on a new shape. Track 3, "Iris," lacks the pounding repetition of electronic drums. While it sort of feels like you have skipped on to a new record, the folk thrum of the lonely guitar strings keeps pace in an equally hypnotizing manner. Some highlight tracks: "Pouring Rain" and "All We Are" wrangle you in through shoe gazey post-punk that leave you ruminating. Whereas "Let It Be" moves at a smoother pace and illuminates the whole Kraut element with a heavy nod to Neu. And then there is "John" which is just a low down dirty blues jaunt. The record ends with "Sandy," a beautifully mystifying duet with Holly Overton. Throughout Hypnotized the gears switch suddenly, the creativity is abundant and the sounds seem richer and more resonant than anything Perro and Chiericozzi have done before. Perhaps, due to the empty space left on the recordings? Whatever the reason, I want more.More
Sargent Place (CD)
If you have ever endeavored a late night meander in Echo Park, chances are likely you came upon a serpentine path uphill and down, inevitably leading to some unforeseen, undirected, and unexpected location. That location may very well be Sargent Place. Named after one of the aforementioned streets in the Los Angeles artist enclave, it is also where Josh Haden recorded his last album. After 2012's Soul Of Spain, it felt very much like the artist had returned to what moved him in the first place. Sargent Place is a similar meditation on love, sex, the spirit, and death. The opener, "Love At First Sight," strikes with a moody bass line that flows throughout until met with intense stumbling guitar work and block building vocals that outline the path in store. "The Fighter," a tad more melancholic wander, features vocals and violin work of sister Petra. Another notable familial guest spot on Sargent Place is father Charlie Haden on the hopeful "You and I." The poppier "It Could Be Heaven" leads the darkened path softly with its surf like guitar and warm organ sounds. Its rock ego driven counterpart, "Sunday Morning," starts to indicate paranoid daylight. Quickly the road turns to a more soulful somber direction with "Let Your Angel." This tone leads all the way to three beautiful tracks at the end of the record: "To Be A Man," "In My Soul," and "You and I." These hope filled songs seem to indicate the rediscovery of the spirit and the following of a new path. This discovery culminates with "Waking Song," a light-hearted closer from the moody journey reminding us of the comforts of Sargent Place.More
Devin Townsend Project
Z2! The Return of Ziltoid. Townsend's latest record is actually, in fact, two separate albums. The first, Sky Blue, is a Devin Townsend Project release. It follows the logical progression where Epicloud left off and steps it up with complicated melodies and a melancholic tone. The album is filled with hooks and a heaviness that make it a very accessible record. Accessibility not withstanding, Sky Blue has an experimental quality. Even the song "Sky Blue" is a heavily EDM influenced tune that contains lots of glitches and digitizing that is almost a foreshadowing to the companion disc, the heavily experimental Dark Matters. The return of Ziltoid The Omniscient. For those of you unaware, this is a science fiction story involving all sorts of aliens, plots to destroy, coffee. It's a thing. Check out the previous work Ziltoid The Omnisicient. This is a continuation or sequel that is mainly for kids. The story trumps all of the music. That isn't to say the tunes aren't there. It is a story first and foremost, soundtracked by heavy riffage, orchestras, choirs! Wow. Ambitious work, but what else would you expect from Townsend?More
At War With Reality (CD)
At The Gates
Melodic death metal pioneers At The Gates have returned with a fury. Nearly twenty years after releasing the bench mark melodeath masterpiece, Slaughter of the Soul, the Swedish group drop this record on unsuspecting fans like they never left. Having reformed twice in the last 10 years the threat of new material was never in the cards. Vocalist Tomas Lindberg assured that the legacy of their final 1995 release would remain intact. And why not? If you are in many ways the founder of an entire subgenre (Gothenburg Sound), and that legacy is defined by your last album, why tarnish that? Because fucking metal, that's why. But really At War With Reality by no means tarnishes the name of At The Gates. That is really why. Tracks like "Death And The Labyrinth" and "Heroes And Tombs," are pure Gothenburg Metal that would have fit nicely on any of their earlier recordings. Throughout listening to the record the glaringly obvious realization is many groups have attempted to recreate this sound, but sometimes you just need the original.More
Nobody Wants To Be Here & Nobody Wants To Leave (CD)
The Twilight Sad
The Twilight Sad are masters of misery, plying heartbreak directly into their guitars on their stunning fourth album. "There's a Girl in the Corner" is an epic breakup song, with James Graham's repeating "she's not coming back," his Scottish brogue piercing through sheets of minor key noise. "Last January" is propulsive with a perfect layering of synths, displaying at how well The Twilight Sad have folded their recent new-wave leanings into their core noise-pop sound. The band also continue to show an uncanny ability to repurpose familiar influences like R.E.M., Joy Division and My Bloody Valentine and still come out with something fresh and enjoyable on tracks like "It Was Never the Same," touching on these influences without being beholden to them, or letting Graham's voice soar over a Suicide-style drum machine on the title track. The band has often been noted more for its atmospherics than hooks, but "Drown So I Can Watch" is one of their catchiest songs yet, with a relatively light, lilting melody that eases some of the downer mood. And they allow for more space on Nobody Wants to Be Here and Nobody Wants to Leave than on previous albums, ending on a pair of spare, beautiful tracks. It's the best thing they've done since their electrifying debut.More
Fumes (CD)
Lily & Madeleine
Teenage folk duo Lily & Madeleine have done a remarkable thing with their second full-length, Fumes. The harmonious team comprised of two sisters hailing from Indiana successfully injected meaning and emotion into folk music. All of this is without the artifice and dependence of tugging on the listener's heartstrings. No small feat when you consider the overtly anthemic and overly passionate landscape of mainstream folk. And when you are 16 (Lily) and 18(Madeleine)! Signed by Sufjan Stevens' label in 2013 Lily & Madeleine's previous releases had a warm reception yet the focus was on their youth and innocence. With Fumes, which is the first in a trilogy the duo plans on releasing annually, the focus is clearly on the present. The sisters lyrically paint tracks like the opener "Fumes" and presumable single "The Wolf Is Free" with an easy hope and wonder. The feelings are not forced into their composition. Feelings and thoughts are simply expressed by one sister and answered by the other… while singing. The self proclaimed "Blood Harmony" is riveting through the entire record. The lush production, completely informed by the Alto and Soprano intertwining, is never out of place. Intrigued to see what these Midwest gals have in store for the next two installments.More
Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell (CD)
Various Artists
Pop music's most fantastic chameleon, Arthur Russell, was able to morph from discotheque debonair, minimalist 20th century avant-garde composer, East Village folkie or floor-stomping, white-man funk god. Despite all the talents he died in relative obscurity, except among the New York heads, due to complications from AIDS. But like the case with so many great artists, it's in death that outsiders discover their treasures like they're forgotten artifacts and they garner the respect they always deserved. Now after so many reissues, books and documentaries, Arthur Russell is remixed, chopped up and redone for the 21st century by an eclectic cast of musicians including Robyn, Sufjan Stevens, Blood Orange, Devendra Banhart, and Scissor Sisters. This is not just another tribute album featuring an odd menagerie of B-sides and by-the-number tunes, but is instead a complete reexamination and reinterpretation of iconic Arthur Russell tracks with layers added to his already dense songs. Hot Chip knead's mutant disco sideshow "Go Bang" into Fela Kuti by way of a Macbook. No release this year has so many tasty and diverse flavors than this.More
Burnt Offering (CD)
The Budos Band
Afro-soul stars the Budos Band are back with a metallic barnburner of a fourth album. The Daptone-signed instrumental band have a way of making their horns sound larger than life, their guitar riffs sound gigantic and beats sound perfectly considered, on songs like the psychedelic title track, that make an absense of a singer an afterthought. On "The Sticks," the 10-man band craft a kind of funkadelic Led Zeppelin track with gnarly, evil riffs and a bassline that won't quit that could have existed in virtually any decade over the past half-century—that fact that it's here now just feels like a gift. True heads know the distance between funk and metal is only skin deep, but Burnt Offering manages to make that incredibly apparent. It's like locking Black Sabbath in a room with Parliament and ending up with something too out of this world to fathom. Cool beyond believe, Burnt Offering has us hooked. Keep it coming, guys.More
Phantom Radio (CD)
Mark Lanegan
On his ninth studio album, Mark Lanegan delivers the gravelly voiced goods, with a few surprises. "Harvest Home" starts the album on a strong note, as Lanegan's whiskey-soaked voice and tremoloed guitars are joined by some Gary Numanesque synthesizers and a propulsive beat. Lanegan goes mellow with some worldly psych-soul on "Seventh Day," and he sings gorgeously on the lushly atmospheric "Torn Red Heart," breaking our hearts with his vulnerable croon and lyrics like "you don't love me, what's to love anyway?" Some of the digital effects on tracks like "The Killing Season" sound a bit dated, like leftover trip-hop backing tracks from the '90s, but even then, that song is saved by Lanegan's cool lyrics, full of creepy details that strike the senses, like "the perfume of your blood" and "I feel your hands around my throat." And while it's nice to hear Lanegan stretch a bit, when he's in his familiar wheelhouse of slow-burners, the results are still wonderful — "I Am the Wolf" possesses beautifully bleak acoustic guitar strums and reverbed electric guitars that fall like rain to set the stage for Lanegan's dusky drawl. And "Judgment Time" is a spare, organ-driven spiritual ode "a strung-out angel" so elegant and evocative, it could serve as an elegy to a war film. With terrific variation and strong melodies, Lanegan seems to nail every nuance on Phantom Radio.More

The French government is expected to issue a decree over the coming days to implement a capacity mechanism to improve generation available during periods of peak demand, according to a French energy analyst, who wished to remain anonymous.
Officials from the French energy ministry were unavailable for comment.
The mechanism, which was outlined in 2011's Loi NOME legislation, would require electricity suppliers to buy capacity certificates to show they can cope with peak demand.
According to the French government, one of the scheme's main aims is to encourage new participants into the French electricity market.
Analysts spoken to indicated that the system could improve security of supply, but doubted whether it would encourage new entrants to France's electricity markets, suggesting that the capacity mechanism would effectively reward incumbent EDF for its existing capacity.
According to a source close to the matter, the system is expected to require suppliers to obtain capacity guarantees each year. The value will be calculated on the basis of the supplier's clients' capacity requirements, together with a "security coefficient" calculated to take into account the risk of supply-demand imbalances, said the source.
Capacity market
Under the proposed system, certificates, corresponding to standard units of capacity, would be issued by the transmission system operator. The certificates would be tradeable assets that could be exchanged by players on a capacity market to ensure security of supply.
Sources close to the matter said the scheme is expected to be implemented in two phases, the first in the winter of 2015-2016, and the second during the following winter.
Auction system
According to a French electricity trader, another possibility the government is considering is creating an auction mechanism that would allow producers to sell capacity to the grid operator, which would make bids according to hedging needs. BM

FTA: GM, you'll recall, had to be rescued by the taxpayers in 2009, and the federal stake was so large that the company was dubbed Government Motors when it went through bankruptcy. But bankruptcy rules require a disclosure of all liabilities as well as assets. By hiding the defect in its cars, GM may have committed bankruptcy fraud.What a shock, they "may have" committed bankruptcy fraud. s/o I think it was Neil Cavuto who pointed out that the DOJ went after Toyota and there was no evidence they were at fault for the accelerator getting stuck. As always with this regime, they will do everything they can to protect themselves and they will lie and subvert the facts in order to do so.

Why any real American would ever buy a GM car is astounding to me. The bankruptcy that 0bama orchestrated was good only for the unions. Even today 0bama made Ally, the GM loan company, owned by the taxpayer (80% by taxpayers). So you see all these ads for 0% down, 0% interest for 5 years, 0% on signing, so you have all these lo-fo´s flocking in to drive out in their brand new GM cars. When they cannot pay the loan, the taxpayers pick up 80% of the loss. How is that a good deal?

Very few bankruptcy rules/laws were followed and Obama is the crimminal at the center of the gang.

FTA: You can't fault Mary Barra ...You think it was a coincidence that GM hires its first woman CEO and suddenly all these recalls and safety screwups are coming to light? They needed someone who could reveal this information with political immunity for being in a protected class. I guess it helps that her name ends in a vowel.

Saints closing deals, get top picks Brandin Cooks under wraps
First-round pick Brandin Cooks and the New Orleans Saints have struck a deal. It's a four-year accord, according to report, locking the 20th overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft into an offense he should suit well.
Saints officials were busy over the weekend, signing picks and preparing to close on one more. In the fold, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune: Second-round pick Stanley Jean-Baptiste, Vinnie Sunseri, Tavon Rooks and Ronald Powell signed their deals on Friday.
Reports pegged Cooks' contract at $8.3 million with a $4.47 million signing bonus. There's an option for a fifth year.
Cooks, a wide receiver from Oregon State, already made an impression on Saints defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.
"I was like, 'Ooh. This guy opens your eyes,'" Ryan said. "You can certainly feel his speed. ... They're going to create roles to get this guy involved and it'll be awesome."
Cooks is relatively small at 5-10, 190 pounds, but his versatility, technique, toughness and speed make up for that.
"The mind that [coach Sean Payton] has for this game and this offense, his coaching ability, how creative he is, and putting guys in position to succeed in his offense is just very exciting to me," said Cooks, who also expects chances to work as a punt and kickoff returner. "Out of all the receivers (in the draft), I feel like I got the best fit."
Cooks is returning to Oregon State to finish out the school year before rejoining to the Saints in June, when he'll be able to start working with record-setting quarterback Drew Brees.
Sunseri, drafted in the fifth round, participated in the non-contact rookie camp about six months after reconstructive knee surgery. "For the most part, with what we are doing out here, he is looking good," Payton said.

- Love2EatOutDined on 10/31/2014We had heard many good things about the Brunswick Tavern and it lived up to that reputation. We had a lovely dinner with my son and his friend during Bowdoin Parent's weekend. The service was excellent, our food delicious and the live music added to the ambiance to make it a special evening. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.Special Features:
- I would returnJudyNewburyportDined on 10/31/2014We went for lunch, and the service was great. We ordered the Veggie Burger, and the Lobster Risotto bites which were both excellent and freshly prepared. We were the only customers at the time so it was very quiet, which I don't mind at all. Overall, a nice place for lunch.Special Features:

- The lobster risotto bites = heaven!fscmom2007Dined on 10/4/2014The lobster risotto bites are a slice of heaven! First visited The Tavern a couple of months ago and had the lobster risotto bites as an appetizer. When we had an opportunity to go back to Brunswick for a visit, we were so happy because that meant we were able to go back to The Tavern for another round of delicious risotto bites - second time as great as the first.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- meathook22Dined on 9/25/2014The Brunswick Tavern has the virtues of a hotel restaurant and a neighborhood spot combined. It is open longer, earlier and later than most of the competition and you can get lunch at dinner etc....It supports the light eater as well as the trencherman. Food is exactly as stated and expertly prepared and served. It is also affordable in that a couple can eat for $100.00 or so and leave satisfied.Special Features:

- Great birthday gathering brunchOpenTable Diner Since 2004Dined on 8/3/2014Trying to find a good venue for a large group (originally 20) for a birthday brunch wasn't easy at first, but then we found this lovely venue. At first they set up for inside (we thought we wanted that) but when we saw the outside dining.... they graciously set up tables for us outside, working with shade and sun requirements. Everyone loved the food and the setting was charming, with a wooden fence and lots of flowers. Oh, and a low key musician playing pleasantly but unobtrusively. Really great brunch menu and all the seafood favorites!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Lobster RollHerkDined on 8/2/2014They have THE best lobster roll and had a Gluten Free menu which I needed so that was so nice to see!! My family was just visiting but I highly recommend it and if we're up that way again we will definitely stop in again!!Special Features:
- Before theaterGrazerVIPDined on 7/31/20148 of us met at the tavern before the Maine state music theater. We got seated quickly and got drinks fairly quickly....then we waied and waited for our entrees.

We arrived at 5:30 and the show was at 7:30!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Fantastic find!bettytDined on 7/16/2014We have been going to the Brunswick Theater for years and are always looking for a place for lunch! Terrific location as it is only a short walk to the play. Even though the tavern was very full that day, service was very good and we were able to get to the play on time. Glad I had found out I could make advance reservations!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost 100%OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 7/11/2014We were a party of four. We requested a booth but there were none, so they gave us a table that was very quiet and private in its own nook, which was appreciated. All were very happy with their meals with the exception of the crab cake appetizer. The crab cakes were very good but were supposed to be served over greens. This turned out to be two wilted leaves of romaine which was disappointing. Otherwise Brunswick Tavern earns high marks.Special Features:
- BlandBerlywVIPDined on 7/4/2014Food was pretty bland. Didn't have the green beans that was veggie of that day so just brought us random things. (?). Took steak back twice and never got it right. Finally just comped it. Just not a great experience all the way around.
- Nice spot in BrunswickJeanandrichDined on 6/29/2014We had dinner at the Tavern after going to the Maine State Music Theater. It's a short walk from the theater. The atmosphere is nice, and the service was good, very friendly. The outside patio is large and looked very nice although we chose to dine inside. We had a nice bottle of wine and our dinners were very good. I would recommend this spot for a drink, lunch, or dinner if you are in Brunswick.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Love this restaurantKimoDined on 5/31/2014I frequent this restaurant year 'round. There is a nice patio for warm weather dining and a cozy indoor dining room. I especially like the fact that they offer their lunch menu at dinner, too. If you don't want a huge meal or spend a lot of money on a dinner entree, you can get a nice salad, lobster roll, or other sandwich. My go-to place when we have out of town guests.Special Features:
- Would not go backOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/24/2014Menu looked interesting with a variety of choices. Food was very disappointing for all 6 of us. Service was poor.
- Come for food, stay for the musicooonorDined on 5/22/2014Lee Sykes, on Thursday nights, is a wonderful addition to the tavern. The food is good, but Lee's music is great. Caesar salad is tossed in the kitchen as it should be, and I had a perfectly-cooked blackened salmon on top, making it a meal. The spinach salad was a hit, too. The coconut shrimp was perfect, and although an appetizer, when combined with the spinach salad was almost too much for a meal. I heard no comments on the chicken salad wrap, and assume it was just OK. My husband's special, short ribs with mashed potatoes was good but not great. Service was friendly, and on a non-music night might have seemed a bit slow, but we were enjoying listening to hits from Gordon Lightfoot, CSNY, and other favorites of ours.Special Features:
- UnacceptablephilsDined on 5/17/2014We ate here a year or so ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Not this time. The food was awful! Two $25 "New York Strip" steak entrees were thin slabs of meat loaded with gristle. A $28 Scallop with lobster risotto entree came with 3 scallops and not even a hint of lobster in the risotto. A $25 "Seafood" stuffed hake entrée couldn't be eaten. The stuffing was mush without a hint of the advertised scallops, shrimp and lobster. A kids chicken finger dinner wasn't eaten by an 8 year old who normally gobbles down chicken fingers. The only decent food brought to the table was a grilled cheese sandwich for a 6 year old. We should have known something was wrong when we were the only diners in the restaurant at 6:30 pm on a Saturday night.
- Breakfast at the TavernOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 5/11/2014Food was good and plenty. Service was great. There were a few noisy groups (one older crowd and one with two infants) that were annoying. Might be good to separate them from the more normal groups for a more pleasant meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 100% satisfied each visit.Dogcatcher73Dined on 4/12/2014We have been to the Tavern a half dozen times or so, and each time we have had an exceptional meal. We have never had a bad or even so-so meal. We know that we will love whatever we order. It's a small area, so it can be somewhat noisy, but the food and service make up for it. You really can't go wrong eating there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent food, sterile atmosphererich707Dined on 4/11/2014The food is really quite good and the service was excellent but atmosphere is surprisingly lacking. Seems more like a sterile cafe; certainly does not seem like a tavern. Not distinctive or warm.Special Features:
- Passing throughSAMMDined on 3/25/2014We were passing through Brunswick, looking at colleges with my son. We arrived late and had a 9:15pm reservation on Open Table. It was a very quiet night and I could tell they were remaining open to honor this Open Table Reservation. All other customers were long gone! Thoroughly appreciate their effort, given nothing else was opened and it is conveniently a part of the hotel. I had chicken saltimbocca which was a little dry but fine. My son had a pasta with Alfredo and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for staying open to honor your lone reservation!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good breakfastBreakfastfanaticDined on 3/10/2014We enjoyed breakfast here and it was quite good with several tempting options. I was able to substitute the meat side for fresh fruit which I appreciated. I think they make their own bread and jam...both were quite tastySpecial Features:
- Overall decent. Small portionsOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2014Overall decent. Small portions but the food was good. Service was a bit slow but it was a busy valentine's day Friday.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Valentine Day Dinner DelightURGormandVIPDined on 2/14/2014The Valentine Day 3 course dinner was outstanding! We began with a splendid Caesar salad, followed by a 14 ounce cut of prime rib done medium rare accompanied with horseradish mashed potatoes and a melody of vegetables. Certainly, the most tender, flavorful beef, prepared to perfection by Chef Kevin. For desert we swooned over lemon cello marzipan cake/blueberry sauce and a flute of champaign! All of this was served by Katherine and Krista, exceptionally attentive, caring and friendly waitstaff. Bottom line: a special day made even more enjoyable by having dined at the Inn's Tavern restaurant . We shall return again and again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- okOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2014Nice time, but the food was cold. This was not the first time I was disappointed by the food.Special Features:
- disappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 2/14/2014Soup almost warm, prime rib fatty (waitress never brought dipping sauce), very few potatoes with meal, champagne was brought with desert, and price too high for the quality of the food and service.I never complained as it has to obvious to staff that service and quality was below par, and I still gave a15% tip. You can do better, especially on special occasions like Valentines day.
- Special OccasiondineinstyleDined on 2/3/2014This was our first visit to the Tavern. The ambiance was great but a bit chilly. We were told that the a/c had come on but would turn off soon. I would have preferred a side table rather than in the middle of the room. The scallops and lobster risotto was delicious and they prepared it to meet my food restriction. My husband's steak was equally good. We would definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great neighborhood findFolkwriterDined on 1/24/2014While The Inn at Brunswick Station has been around for a while, this was my first visit there. I came with 3 friends to enjoy a nice lunch and the lunch was more than nice...it was great. The Tavern has a wonderful, laid back ambience in a nicely appointed room. All entrees were fresh and original, down to the in house made potato chips. I loved it.Special Features:

Oct 5, 2013Great Show, very funny, love the cast and especially Elle
Must see I can't wait till next week. Sean is such a great actor,
Linda is a very special part of this show. All the cast has such great timing
My favorite new show of the season
Oct 14, 2013Maybe it is because I never really watched Will and Grace, or maybe it is because I'm not that familiar with Lavin, either way I actually enjoy this show. I've seen a few episodes of Will and Grace and I'm able to completely separate Sean Hayes' characters. This newer character is much more toned down in comparison while there are still hints of Jack I don't see it nearly as much as other people do. On an already packed Thursday night I have to sift through all the mediocrity and find a show that truly shines with humor that I can both appreciate, understand, and enjoy. To me, Sean Saves the World is my 9:00pm winner.… Expand
Jan 27, 2014I love Sean save the world. I had my doubts at the beginning but the show is growing on me as well as the character of Sean's boss. The cast is funny, the situations are funny and of course Sean Hayes is hilarious. I don't care about the critics reviews, the show should stay. It's 30 minutes of relaxing, laughing and feeling good show and I love it. I was wondering why Sean Hayes didn't have his own show. I'm happy he has it now.… Expand
Feb 15, 2014I love this show! Not crazy about the title, but the show concept is great, different from anything on TV. The Entire cast is amazing. Great to see Linda Lavin again. She looks amazing!! Sean is the best! Glad to see him back on TV. Can't wait for Season 2 of 'Sean Saves the World'.
It's meaningful that a gay dad with a teen daughter can be conventional--it's a just not great comedy. [14 Oct 2013, p.44]
Oct 4, 2013It's more of a kindhearted family show--but it does need some kind of edge.
[Sean Hayes is] the consummate pro, with impeccable comedic timing, fluid verbal and physical dexterity--a nod to Ball's slapstick shtick--and a tendency to let others around him share in the laughs. That's all on display in Sean Saves the World.

Price Details: Appetizers $3.75 to $5.50, entrées $5.75 to $12.50
June 2006 Cheap EatsThe concept is fast-casual, usually the product of corporate calculation. But these homey offshoots of the Lebanese Taverna restaurants dish up authentic cooking at rock-bottom prices. Little wonder they draw crowds heavy on stroller moms at lunch and singles at dinner.
Combo platters are great deals, but many of the best items are to be found elsewhere. For starters, go for hummus topped with meat (and lovely meat juice) and crunchy pine nuts and almonds. Order a round of the creamy Lebanese cheese lebneh to slather on hot pita, or indulge in the fragrant m'saka, a sort of eggplant stew studded with chickpeas. Sharhat ghanam--spiced, thin slices of lamb drizzled with lemon-parsley-garlic butter--is one of the more memorable big plates. So are the fattehs, layers of toasted pita, yogurt, and a choice of lamb, chicken, or eggplant, which makes for a great vegetarian meal. And though the Lebanese are not known for roast chicken--most of us think of France or Peru for that--the version here, with an intense garlic sauce, is mighty fine.

There are two main reasons to doubt the possibility of an Iran-U.S. rapprochement, an idea that gained new life after Iran's charm offensive at the United Nations last week and a phone call between the presidents of the two countries on Sept. 27.The first is general to the Middle East, the second is specific to Iran.The general reason is easy to understand, and all-encompassing: Nothing at all works in the Middle East, so why should the United States find success convincing Iran to give up its nuclear program in exchange for lifting sanctions?Every great, complicated effort meant to bring peace or democracy or tranquility to the Middle East somehow goes off the rails. Because nothing works in a zero-sum region where politics is defined by fanatics, I don't feel particularly optimistic about the current effort. The second reason is specific to Iran's actions last week. Many people forget that Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran and the commander of Operation Offensive Charm, is a moderate only in comparison to his predecessor, the unhinged Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Rouhani has been a superior soldier for Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a defender of the regime, and an anti-American propagandist for much of his professional life. Not often mentioned during last week's love-in was Rouhani's post-Sept. 11 commentary, in which he blamed the attacks on the "wrongs and mistakes of American policies." There's no proof yet that Rouhani's ultimate goals for Iran are different than those of the hardliners. Until proven otherwise, there's no reason to think that Rouhani, who is acting on Khamenei's behalf, is ready to shut down his country's nuclear program. The Iranian leadership wants to maintain its ability to produce nuclear weapons while at the same time convince the West to lift sanctions. So far, Rouhani's difference is one of style, not of substance.Americans are easily charmed by smiling clerics, and Rouhani understands this. In 2007, he said, "We should talk carefully so as not to provoke the enemy. We should not give them any excuses."Who is the enemy? The United States. According to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy's Steven Ditto, Rouhani wrote in 2003: "The fundamental principle in Iran's relations with America — our entire focus — is national strength. Strength in politics, culture, economics, and defense — especially in the field of advanced technology — is the basis for the preservation and overall development of the System, and will force the enemy to surrender."Ditto, who has read much of Rouhani's voluminous output, says the quotation "encapsulates the overwhelming impression gleaned from Rouhani's history and writings: his identity as a revolutionary ideologue and defender of the Iranian 'System.'" Ditto argues that Rouhani is simply a cleverer tactician than some of his colleagues. "What separates Rouhani from traditional ideologues, however — and what fuels perceptions of him as a 'reformist' — is his belief that certain kinds of political and social reform can facilitate the defense, upkeep, and legitimization of the Iranian regime."In other words, a pleasant phone call with the president of his chief adversary — and the prospect of extended negotiations — are legitimate if they help advance the goals of the regime.President Obama seems somewhat enthusiastic about the possibility of real rapprochement with Iran. But Gary Samore, who was until recently Obama's chief adviser on Iranian nuclear issues, does not. When I spoke to him, he was acerbic: "The Iranians are going to try to see how far they can get on charm alone."That, for now, is the game.

Frankly, Franks Is a Big Fieldhouse FanPosted by on September 26, 2008 – 3:01 pm
Bubba Franks thought the Jets' practice in the Atlantic Health Training Center fieldhouse today went pretty well, considering the stories he'd heard about the way the Jets used the Hofstra training bubble during Eric Mangini's first two seasons as head coach.
'I don't think guys were coming up here to work today expecting to go inside," said the veteran tight end, "because they said last year they were never in there. That's new to them"
Surprise: As the morning's rains pelted Florham Park, N.J., and environs, Mangini had his team working out on the 100-yard turf field (actually, there's enough room for a CFL field) under the roof that's almost 100 feet off the ground. It was the team's first full practice in the structure. The only other fieldhouse activities players have had since Sept. 1 are walkthroughs and yoga sessions.
Franks said he, Brett Favre and the Packers spent a lot of time in the Green Bay fieldhouse since he arrived and worked with the QB from 2000-07 up in the Frozen Tundra.
"We had to go in," Bubba said about late-season practices. "The snow would be so high on the field that they'd be shoveling it every 30 minutes. It came to a point where it gets too cold and there's to much snow on the ground."
And the side benefit to working under the roof: "I know Brett likes it a lot. He wears tennis shoes in there. A lot of guys were able to wear their tennis shoes. It doesn't hurt your feet as much but you can still get your work done."
Franks wasn't alone in his approval of the new practice venue. Some other reactions:
G Brandon Moore: "It was nice, roomy. We're not on top of each other. It didn't feel like we were all in a phonebooth."
LS James Dearth: "It's real nice. It's huge compared to what we were used to. It felt like we could get a little more work done."
TE Chris Baker: "It was a nice changeup."
QB Erik Ainge: "It was fun. It's almost like you're playing in a dome. It's definitely louder. The crowd noise factor is definitely improved. And it keeps everybody healthy. You're not slipping and sliding around."
In one way, perhaps the fieldhouse workout was the perfect way to end a short week of practice and get ready for a crucial early-season home game against a Cardinals team that looks improved and dangerous over past seasons. The week began as usual on Wednesday but without the usual off-day due to Monday night's game at San Diego.
"It's tough. We didn't get back here till Tuesday at 7 o'clock in the morning. Then we turn around 24 hours later and we're practicing," Franks said. "The guys did a good job responding to that aspect."
Mangini in fact praise his team's first two practices this week. And Franks said he and his teammates passed today's indoor test.
"The one big thing is you have to get your team to realize that just because you move in, it doesn't mean the tempo changes," he said. "This is their first time in here, so it was a great practice. That was a good thing.
"Guys are just happy to go play again. The last two, we kind of let slip away. I think that long plane ride home actually gave guys time to really think and evaluate the situation we're in. Either we take advantage of it or we don't."
Maybe one of the most difficult practice weeks in a while will have its silver lining. We'll find out in less than 48 hours.
Cards List Boldin
This may mean nothing, but WR Anquan Boldin went on the Cardinals' injury report today for the first time this week, with a hamstring injury. Yet he still practiced full and is listed as probable for the Jets. Click here for both teams' full reports.

At this point real jet fans know it could get real ugly except for the fact that we have a very easy schedue so that will keep the hopes up,but point is great teams can lose to the worst team any given sunday. #1 Playoff teams lose to underdog wildcard teams all the time.upsets happen every weekend.because thats football,your record says nothing to your talent.look at the broncos,alot of luck
By jet80 on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
To finish what im sayin is football is the most suspenseful season that keeps almost every team in it till 3/4 into it.only a coulple teams are given each year right away,this year id say the cheifs and the browns.this year NFC looks stronger.AFC EAST will be anyones to take .the bills could die down anytime dolphins could be the sleeper and once the jets get going with Farve it wont be to late
By jet80 on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
wish i had more room cause this will be the most i have to say.This year if we dont make its because we dont have the drive and fight it takes all year to reach the top.the bills got it the cards the eagles etc.not as good as the so called football gurus picks in the beginning.weather, injuries, off field antics ruin great teams seasons.so much can happen this year,dont bail on your team.

Probably not, carl, but it is an amazing building. I'm told it's the largest training facility in the NFL.
By Ira on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
I expect the Jets to bounce back tomorrow but it will be close. TJ and Leon run the ball for about 150 Yds and Keller gets another TD. Jets 24 – Cards 20. GO JETS!!!!!
By Frank on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
The key to this game is going to be the pass rush. Tangini better hope their over priced aquisition Pace steps up big today. If Warner has time to throw we will get crushed. The Cards are a completely different team under Wisenhunt and will be well coached with a good game plan. So the second most important element is Mangini better find a way to win the excuses are over period end of story.

By Peter on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
At the beginning of the season, we were hoping for 2-2 at this point and a team gelling on both sides of the ball. When Jenkins was in those first few possessions against SD, we got a taste of how good the D can be. And Brett will only get better over the year. A bye, a few wins against weaker teams and who knows how good we can be. The key is the D, and keeping Jenkins on the field. Go Jets!
By Frank on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
Right Ira and the Jets have won exactly 2 games vs. winning teams in 35 games under Mangini….Rich Kotite anyone? This is a no excuse game Mangini needs to win games now!

Mangini how bout we use Henry at wideout chancy in the slot keller at Te leon in the backfield tony at Fb J-co other wide — & try 4-3.. D …this week or maybe Mike Ds defence back in the day 5-2 D u can't use 12 men right my point is GET @ THE PASSER U HAVE THE HORSES use them u don't need a playbook to rush the passer its instinctive.. maybe u didn't give them enough … how bout rolexs
By Ray on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
mike ex jet fan, unless something has changed I think Henry is on the PS so he technically isn't on the active roster at the moment. I would love to see what Clowney can bring to this offense.
By Ray on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
jet80 you make some good points. On any given sunday is very true. Last week alone, the Bengals came into this stadium and almost knocked off the Giants and Oak. went into Buff. and should have come away with a win. Coming out of the bye we should win those next three, but if they take any of them for granted…..

Frank , thats not fair knocking Pace, he's been solid so far. Its not Paces fault he got market value in a very good OLB market. Frank, I do agree this is a no excuse game & Mangini needs to start winning now but there is and will be only one Kotite. I will continue to support Mangini, I believe he's a solid coach but this is a results oriented business & Frank is lurking looking for heads to roll
By Steve on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
Randy Do we still have Marcus Henry or did we lose him so we could have 2 punters and 2 place kickers ? To me I don't see any emotion from this team I realize it isnt college and they;re not going to be rah rah but how about a take charge guy like Ray Lewis or someone to light a fire under there butts. This is football and you have to play with emotion and fly around the field I havent seen that
By Drew on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
The pass rush is going to be huge in the game. If Warner has time, he will kill our secondary. This is a game (like the win @ NE in 06) where Mangini has to dial up some blitzes and get the QB on the ground all day… Once again Frank amazes me. He calls Pace an overpriced FA but fails to mention that Pace dominated the Miami game and Parcells offered him the same exact contract this summer
By Randy Lange on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
Steve, Marcus Henry was signed to the Jets' practice squad.
By Frank on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
Right Drew he had a big game vs. Miami where was he last week and the week before? So far the defense stinks again giving up almost 50% on third downs and 27 points per game awful. I have had it with Mangini this is the third year in a row with a lousy start the team is not functioning smoothly. The players are not responding and they do not play with a sense of purpose even the roster is a mess.
By Frank on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
Ray are you kidding me. The Giants won and so did Buffalo that's what good teams do they come back and win. The Jets under Mangini are punched out and don't come back because of poor coaching and play calling. They never adjust during the game and they don't play with passion. They are out there like a bunch of programmed robots thinking too much.
By Frank on Sep 27, 2008 | Reply
All you Mangini Kool Aide drinkers listen up. Read what Whisenhunt said about his approach he develops his offense and defense around his players. In other words he will tailor each to the talents of the personell he has that is the key to success in the NFL and Mangini doesn't get it…got it fellas. A round robin of personell expecting a different outcome yet we get the same results is insanity.

Frank your ability to turn every statement and every discussion here into your hatred for Mangini & Co. is hardly surprising, nor is it interesting anymore, that's why I leave Drew to continue that argument. What I said was correct, the Bengals and Bills went into the opposing building and almost won. So if we take any of those teams for granted we could lose. Get it? Got it? Good.
