In Shaq-ramento, when Christmas carolers sing at your doorstep, if it's deck the halls you must insist a free a Rudy Gay jersey! You better believe Sleep Train Arena is gonna deck their halls with Gay apparel. That is, if it has power. Zing! Last night, the Kings picked up Gay from the Raptors in a 7-player deal with a lot more fantasy impact than just the players involved. The Kings also picked up Aaron Gray and Quincy Acy, for the fewest letters in three surnames you could ever receive in a three-player haul. In return, Greivis Vasquez, John Salmons, Patrick Patterson and Chuck Hayes got exported to Canada. I hope they have winter wear! Instead of going over all of the impact in the open, it'll be fettered out and we'll focus on Gay at the top. Nothing changes. Brevity! Lots of shots, the Kings don't become any better or worse, but get a good all-around player. The fantasy impact on Gay seems null. The trade overall I think it a win-win, both in real hoops and in fantasy. The Kings dumped guys that don't really help their rotations for a star, and the Raptors break up their two high-volume shots guys with it not working. Plus the Raptors are looking to rebuild around the Luminescent Lithuanian. Then all sorts of fantasy optimism below, along with other action across the NBA over the weekend:Please, blog, may I have some more?

Now I'm not sure about this, but when Taj Gibson had a couple good games over the Thanksgiving week, I probably recapped and gobble-gobbled at it. My jowls flapped around like Boss Nass bein' all "Hmmpphhherr Rumpity-Doooo, Taj Gibson, rabble rabble rabble!" At least that sounds like me… Now you see what I deal with in my inner monologue! It's like I battle a drunk Kenny Rogers. Which is to say, I battle Kenny Rogers. Gibson has been a scrate-up beast the past four, going 23/8, 18/4, 26/14 5 blks, and 19/6/0/1/1 last night. Bringing big time energy to that front line as the main big off the bench, he's playing insane out there, shooting 67% from the floor in those past 4. I watched the game last night and was impressed with his spark, but then again, the Heat bigs are awful. They got out-rebounded 49-27 last night! Back in the day, I used to love Taj when Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah battled injuries. But now… it took some time and four in a row to buy it. I think it's because the Bulls are my least favorite team. Sorry Bulls fans! Boozer & Noah just yell on virtually every rebound and definitely every single putback attempt. It's unreal! It's like Maria Sharapova is rebounding. And Gibson does it at least 50% of the time. He's becoming the Bulls Sex Panther. "50% of the time he's yelling… every time!" But regardless of how annoying he/the Bulls bigs are to watch/listen to, he's playing like a must-own in all formats. At 33% owned in Yahoo and 24% in ESPN, he's hot while a lot guys are not. I don't think he's going to turn into a set-it and forget-it guy the rest of the year, he doesn't do enough of anything else besides score and board (if not for that 5 block game, he'd be under 1 in Asts, Stls & Blks on the year), but I think he's a ride the wave kinda add right now. Here's what else I saw on the light Thursday slate of games and a few updates for tonight:Please, blog, may I have some more?
As I look back on my fantasy basketball career, I find it astonishing how much the game has changed. Back when JB and I wore bell-bottom jeans and flowing paisley shirts it was just the two of us playing fantasy basketball. We didn't have all these fancy categories the kids have today. All we could keep track of was points and that was hard enough. Back then we would use a CB radio to relay the scores across the country. Some nights we would hear, "Wilt Chamberlain scored 72″ and others we would hear how, "Harry pests poured only poo." Confusing to some, but to us it meant Jerry West must have gotten injured if he only scored 2 points. We would start our draft with a coin flip to determine draft order. Nowadays it takes as much computing power to determine draft order as it did to land a man on the moon. I'm not sure If you have ever played in a 2 team league, but believe me trading was tough. Once a year I would say, "I'll give you West and Oscar for Wilt and Bellamy." Then JB would say, "Heyyy mannn, I'm not trading Wilt for nothin', how about just Oscar for Bellamy." Inevitably, trade talks ended because we played with only a 2 man roster.
Now people play in 20 team leagues, with 17 player rosters, and my personal favorite the dynasty. Thankfully when JB and I started, there would be that coin flip every year and our teams would change. Well, about half the time they changed. Today's dynasty format favors those who try to predict how the entire career of a 20 year old kid will turn out. That sounded much easier to do before I typed it out. Nothing I can do about that now. Here's a couple:Please, blog, may I have some more?
"Is it safe?" Dustin Hoffman was so not type B enough in that situation. Imagine Jeff Spicoli in that scene. "Dude, what are you doing with that, man?!" But nothing beats the end when Hoffman makes him eat the diamonds. Spoiler alert! Oh yea, that's supposed to go before the – – nevermind. Ryan Anderson last night was sure the marathon man in the triple OT slug fest in Chicago, playing a preposterous 57 minutes for 36/6 with 7 threes. He's like a big Klay Thompson! I was actually texting with my friend who said the broadcast compared him to Larry Bird – Hah! I countered with the Jazz broadcast in their opener compared Alec Burks to Michael Jordan. I can't even make something up more preposterous than that! These announcers must've failed those analogy tests you had to take through elementary school. "Pizza:delicious::ice cream:????" "Alec Burks!" While it's good seeing Anderson get that kind of run, spoiler alert! I think his toe could flare up at some point. He's playing great, no question, but when he came back from injury he said he was going to manage the pain and the Pelicans were hoping to hold back his minutes a bit. Sure failed last night! I'm obviously not his toe, but I'd be like, "Yo, Ryan, 57 minutes be too much and Tough Actin' Tinactin ain't gonna fix me!" I'm buying the nice Anderson stats right now, but think he's a bit of a sell high and big dudes with big toes that have been big ouchies are big red flags. Here's what else I saw from last night's action and news in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
My lead yesterday was about a weekend of injuries, and as much as I wanted to stay away from injuries in today's open, there's just way too many. Like that pilot in the Return of the Jedi when they attack the new Death Star. "There's too many of them!" Sorry in advance Jake VZ – but I think the lead is Bradley Beal reportedly aggravating his leg injury and at the time of this post in the wee hours of the morning, the Wizards fear a prolonged absence. Beal hurt the same leg with a broken fibula last year that ended his season prematurely. In both my longer blurb in my top 100 and in my top 200 I tried to say I was worried, and only ended up with him on my autodrafted team. By now, news has hit his little news icon on Yahoo and ESPN, so it's going to be a little tough to sell at full price or even a slight discount if you're hitting the panic button. I'm worried myself. I'm running in with Jodie Foster and a weird, gothy, tween Kristen Stewart into my Panic Room. More precise news should come out today, but if for some reason you were about to cut Martell Webster, hold the phone and keep my boy. I have been told I have too many "boys". But I like Webster a lot! And called him a must add a few weeks back. Trevor Ariza is also back and starting tonight, and the mere fact they're not easing him in off the bench has me thinking his hammy must be doing pretty well. Both Ariza and Webster are looking at big minutes for a stretch, and John Wall will continue to have this big offensive upside he's shown in the past two games. Here's what else went down in the wide world of fantasy hoops last night:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ohhhh, Blake Griffin. Well maybe stud is a reach… I don't want to change the title! With your powerful dunks and lifeless expression when you try to make the other team hit you… Sigh. I think Griffin was on some of the most overrated/bust/avoid lists on draft sheets heading into the season, and rightfully so. But maybe I'm just in my own head with a false narrative… The scoring and rebounding in 2012-13 went down for the third consecutive season (as did his minutes), and he just didn't do enough multi-cat for you to pay the premium over your moron little brother's friend who only knows NBA players from Sportscenter top 10. Gerald Green, first pick! That said, it was still a solid 2012-13 campaign. I ended up having him at 42, 7 higher than Yahoo and 10 below ESPN, so I was right in the middle. His ADPs on both sites were 6-7 picks ahead of their respective rankings, but I think the hardcore fantasy players were probably avoiding at the ADPs. He's looked fantastic so far this season, averaging a career-high Pts, shooting his best FG% and stealing at a career pace. I really liked what he did last night, as Serge Ibaka was letting him have his shot from outside, and BGriff was draining em. Ended his night with a sultry 12-13 27/10/5/2 line. It's like he went back in time, and told his 2011 self to get better at racking up fantasy stats. Championships? Pshhhh, we want fantasy goodness! I know I won two fantasy leagues last year, but I have no idea who won the Finals! I'm not exactly going to unload my roster to try and get Griffin, but I wouldn't be selling high either if I ended up with him. Sit back, and enjoy your highlight dunks. Here's what else I saw last night in fantasy hoops:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Are you not entertained?!
Chris Paul sure put on a show last night, dropping treys, lobbing alleys, fending off tigers chained up as obstacles. You name it! He torched the Warriors in the Clippers "home opener" (despite it being their second straight game in LA) for an unreal 42/4/15 and 6 steals. Shot 12-20 from the field and won you FT% this week going 16-17 at the stripe. Paul was so much like Russell Crowe. In LA there's even a "Coliseum" (ok maybe that's a stretch)! Games like this support Doc wanting to cover up the banners and jerseys. Even when Kobe gets back, Paul has to be the best player in LA. I said it before on Opening Night and reiterate below, but the acquisition of J.J. Redick does wonders for Paul in the Clippers spacing. I said he'll have double-digit assists almost every game. I said he'd score 42 against the Warriors. Dammit, OK so I didn't say that second one. Elite assists and steals are par for the course, and scoring like this in a few more games will have him the easy #3 fantasy player. Here's what else I saw in last night's two NBA games:Please, blog, may I have some more?
Despite the two nationally telecast Opening Night games (with the Heat/Bulls starting at 8:00 PM EST), the season really started at 7:00 with the Magic against the Pacers. Non-fantasy players probably didn't know this game ever happened. All the sudden in the second quarter, Andrew Nicholson just went off, going 8-9 in the first half with 18 points. Next thing you know, ESPN Fantasy Basketball is down. Why RCL is on Yahoo! But despite the Magic losing the lead and the offense going stagnant early in the third, Nicholson only played another few minutes in the second half and got stuck at 18 points in 19 minutes, only taking one additional shot and going 8-10 on the night. Womp womp. I never thought too much of Nicholson and don't think he's a guy to go rush to the wire for (unlike ESPN fantasy players!), and don't forget Tobias Harris sat out with the ailing ankle. 19 minutes sounds about right for Nicholson, and he's obviously not going to be a 48 PPG scorer per 48. But I hope the kid enjoyed the moment in the sun during that first half shooting spree. You temporarily broke Fantasy! He was like the Fantasy Basketball Kevin Ogletree. Here's what else went down last night in the NBA:Please, blog, may I have some more?
After re-ranking the top 10, top 20, and top 50, it's easy to see there's been big changes since last May. Below are the Razzball Updated Rankings with the previous May rankings in parentheses before the adjusted rank:
(68) ↑ 51. Derrick Favors – Utah declining to bring back either Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap gives you a slight inclination on their thoughts on Favors, and they're already talking contract extension with their emerging big as well. I love his athleticism, and if I miss out on Serge Ibaka who I'm high on early, I'm gonna want to reach on Favors to win blocks. I think he'll be a top-5 NBA swatter.
(51) 52. Kemba Walker – Kemba has been higher on virtually every rankings I've seen, and I'm just not top-50 high on him. He had a really solid season last year, but the terrible FG% still worries me as I feel like he forces some offense. The acquisition of Big Al is going to give the Bobcats/soon-to-be Hornets an actual scorer down, and I don't think that translates into helping Kemba all that much. I like Gerald Henderson a lot too to take a bigger scoring role. The 2.0 steals a game last year was elite, but I see those going down along with the scoring, and a comparable 5.7:2.4 Ast:TO ratio. All that spells a slightly down ranking for me. Although to be fair, he's played in every single Bobcats game in his career, so there's that reliability that can't be ignored.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The period of free agency continues to shape the fantasy basketball-scape with fresh meat on terrible teams and players signing with contenders to be relegated to bench duty. With baseball in full swing and the NFL getting half of the ESPN air time no matter what time of year it is, a lot of NBA moves have been made under the radar. Look for every division to get a team-by-team breakdown and some early fantasy thoughts on the new faces in new places:Please, blog, may I have some more?

[QUOTE=bitonti;3520945]unless he's dead, injured or in jail, a 23 year old player is not a bust. he still has a chance, believe it or not.[/QUOTE]
However, that player must have the heart, desire and instincts to at least try to excel. To most fans like me with limited knowledge of the situation, Gholston seemingly does not have the heart, desire or instincts to try to be an NFL player.
When you consider how high he was drafted and how poorly he has performed then throw in the seemingly lack of heart, desire and instincts, it is no wonder why so many lable him as a bust.
VG might show the heart, desire and instincts to D-rex in practices etc but to the average fan, we simply do not see it in him.

Brian Evans posts his first video message in seven months today, November 17th, 2014. The state of Alaska will be the 18th to issue a sleep apnea Proclamation.
Remember...it's all about her. Helen Marie Bousquet. Take no credit for the work you do on behalf of the departed, for those are their accomplishments, and you are just the messenger. - Brian Evans
I love you, mom. Every day. You did this. The credit belongs to you.
Click below to hear Oscar Winning Actor Tom Hanks' introduce this website, as over 1.8 million of you have already. I will never stop until justice is done for my mother.
March 14th, 2014: The Honorable Governor of Florida has become the 14th Governor in the United States to issue a Proclamation for Sleep Apnea Awareness (see above), actually making it a week-long observance. I appreciate it, Governor Scott. It takes real courage to stand up for the little guy in a world where so few do anymore.
March 4th: NEW STORY ABOUT MY MOTHER in Sleep Review Magazine: Click HERE.
Thank you, to the Governor of Colorado, John W. Hickenlooper, for being the 10th Governor in the United States to issue a Proclamation for Sleep Apnea Awareness, and for honoring my mother by doing so. Thank you for your bravery in specifically stating what happened to my mother at The Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts, a Steward Health Care System hospital in this Proclamation below. All Steward Health Care System hospitals should be avoided, along with any Stryker implant product, many recalled by the FDA (knee implants, hip implants, and all other implants made by Stryker).
Thank you, to the Governor of Missouri, Jeremiah Nixon, for being the 9th Governor in the United States to issue a Proclamation for Sleep Apnea Awareness, and for honoring my mother by doing so.
Thank you to The Governor of Nevada, Brian Sandoval, for becoming the eighth Governor to issue a Sleep Apnea Proclamation in honor of my mother, on October 24th, 2013.

Thank you for honoring my mom, Tom Hanks, William Shatner, Narada Michael Walden, and David Ortiz...
And thank you for the Tweet, Nancy Sinatra. It was your dad that inspired both me and my mother.
I also wish to publicly thank The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, for adding my mother and I to The National Baseball Hall of Fame for our production of "At Fenway," where it will remain for all to see in perpetuity.
Watch the video Helen co-produced (now in the library of The National Baseball Hall of Fame library) by clicking HERE. That's my mother in the opening scene just one week before Steward Health Care System's Holy Family Hospital, and Stryker, introduced themselves to her life, and whose stupidity ended it. It also features William Shatner, whom has been very supportive. Due to the idiots at Steward Health Care System, Stryker, and The Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts, and her "doctors" she's also featured in the end.
Here is one of Steward Health Care Systems latest reviews (LeapFrog doesn't talk to staff when issuing their bogus ratings...and these are reviews on the payroll of the very hospital they rate...click HERE).
Below is for you mom. I'd rename the moon for you if I could.
Helen Bousquet
I wish to thank the Governor of Oregon (a former doctor) today. We are well on our way to seeing to it that all fifty Governor's in the United States issue Sleep Apnea Awareness Day Proclamation in every state in this nation, so that what happened to my mother, doesn't happen to you (or anyone else you love). All acclaim goes to Helen Marie Bousquet, my mom. I love you.
Steward Health Care System's Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts, Stryker, Dr. Anthony Straceski, Dr. Ronald Marvin, Dr. Sharda Kaul, in my opinion, killed my mother.

Hewitt ditches online job applications for doctors
Widely loved and respected health secretary Patricia Hewitt has been forced to ditch the online job application system for junior doctors, the Medical Training Application Service (MTAS). Hewitt said that the first round of applications made through the system will stand - job offers should be out to candidates in the next few …
Pat Should Go!
Having seen last night's 'Channel 4 News' where Ms Hewitt attempted to defend why she should resign, I thought I should respond. Her main defense for not resigning over this debacle was that this was an implementation issue rather than a policy issue. Well, having worked for some Government IT projects, I can say this IS a policy issue. It's policy to take on the lowest costed solution when choosing a supplier. It's also policy to award the supplier a bonus based on the DATE on implementation, rather than QUALITY of implementation. I haven't personally worked on MATS, but I bet you the developers were aware of these issues, but were told to continue to implementation. No doubt the testing was squeezed too!
Ms Hewitt should have the guts to resign over this.

This is so disgusting and is obviously aginst the law. The hubris of establishment Republicans is breathtaking. Vote buying? Really? The media is totally ignoring this but I am not surprised. There is a war in this country against conservative thought and Democrats, Republicans and the media are fully engaged. This debacle in Mississippi, however, is the worst example of political chicanery I have ever witnessed. It doesn´t get worse than vote buying and those horrific racist ads.

There is absolutely NO sensible reason for crossover voting in a primary race. Why should you allow voters from the opposing party to help pick your candidate? Utterly stupid. And I never heard of Republican voters voting in a Dem. primary in any significant numbers to make any difference. This practice must be stopped!

The bamboozle curtain shielding we the citizens from the truth is beginning to slide open: Most of us have lived under the illusion, the republicans are spineless, cowardly wimps, cowering in the shadows from the onslaughts coming from democrats, and their media minions. Now, that doesn´t seem to be the case.It appears more likely the republicans (from a point dating further back than Senator Trent Lott´s sharing of his leadership role with the democrats), are participating members of a secret cabal, which includes themselves, democrats, and the MSM, to form an onerous ruling class over a once free American citizenry.

agree with #11 and state once more thatlimiting a voters right to choose a party or how to cast a legal ballot is a violation of voting laws.Anyone caught voting illegally should be fined.If the votes exceed the eligible voting population the party with the excess votes should automatically be nullified and declared losers.

Those Who Kill (Danish: Den som dræber) is a Danish crime TV series from 2011, which follows a fictitious unit within Copenhagen Police which specialises in investigating serial murders. The series was aired as five two-part stories in Denmark (i.e. ten episodes in total), but has aired as five feature film length episodes in most other countries. A separate 92 minutes feature film, Fortidens skygge, which forms a continuation and ending of the series, premiered in Danish cinemas on 15 March 2012,[1] and is being aired as a final, sixth episode of the series in many other countries, such as the UK and Germany.
The series is created and written by Elsebeth Egholm and Stefan Jaworski, with various other screenwriters helping out as episode writers, among them Siv Rajendram, Rikke De Fine Licht and Morten Dragsted. Directors have been Birger Larsen, Niels Nørløv and Kasper Barfoed. The series is a Danish-German-Swedish-Norwegian co-production.[2]
Although originally planned to run for several seasons, Danish TV2 announced in October 2011 that there would be no further seasons made, due to falling viewer shares after the first few episodes. TV2 programming manager Keld Reinicke stated that, "We have no plans to continue the series as it never gave us the audience share we expected in Denmark."[3]
International distribution[edit]
Those Who Kill has been sold to broadcasters in more than 25 countries, including
- Belgium (screened as Those Who Kill)
- Czech Republic (screened as Ti, co vraždí)
- France (screened as Traque en série)
- Germany (screened as Nordlicht - Mörder ohne Reue)
- Italy (screened as Loro uccidono)
- Netherlands (screened as Those Who Kill)
- Norway (screened as Den som dreper)
- Poland (screened as Zabójcy)
- Sweden (screened as Den som dräper)
- United Kingdom (screened as Those Who Kill)
- Hungary (screened as A gyilkosnak ölni kell)
In Germany 3.8 million viewers watched the final episode on channel ZDF.[4] In the United Kingdom, the series has been shown by commercial channel ITV3.[5]

U.S. remake[edit]
In January 2012, the A&E television channel announced that it had bought the rights to develop a U.S. version of the series.[16] A pilot episode began filming in Pittsburgh in December 2012, produced by Fox 21 and written by Glen Morgan. The pilot starred Chloë Sevigny as police detective Catherine Jensen, and James D'Arcy as forensic profiler Thomas Schaeffer.[17] In April 2013, A&E announced that it had greenlit a 10-episode first season of the series, which would begin production in Pittsburgh in late 2013. The series premiered on A&E on March 3, 2014.[18]

Most Embarrassing Meal You Have Had Lately
- Ttrockwood Oct 7, 2013 07:13 PM
You know mom wouldn't be happy if she knew you called that a meal. But we're busy people nowadays!
Most recently mine was nearly half of that tumeric/hazelnut loaf from Maison Kayser and a double macchiato for lunch...I may have called a half pint of talenti's blood orange sorbet breakfast one morning......
I am sorry. I was just sitting here daydreaming about how delicious your "bad" meals sound. Count me in!
re: Monica
If you're already there might as well pick up a few olive buns (entire kalamatas!) and a pistachio brioche.....
re: ipsedixit
I spoke with one of the Madison Ave. employees (a nice Filipina), and she mentioned that two more Royce were in the works for NY, Bryant Park and Bleecker St. Maybe I misheard and Battery Park is the 2nd?
Didn't realize they both opened already, but they're quality places to get samples from.
re: BuildingMyBento
As far as I know the Battery Park one has been open since at least August.
re: ipsedixit
Bryant park location is open too i believe...i wasn't too crazy about Royce chocolate.
re: Monica
Total brain lock on my part. Meant Bryant Park (not Battery Park). Apologies all around.
first thing that comes to mind is the fried chicken and waffle sliders with cheddar and bacon in jalapeno maple syrup at Pork Slope. the most shameful part is not the dish itself, but that it's served as an appetizer. i followed it with a brisket sandwich and a side of mac and cheese, along with a beer or two. not sure if the clock had struck noon when we first sat down.
a small (ish) bag of "wet spicy" beef jerky from new beef king on bayard street.
chased, of course, with a diet pepsi.
re: debinqueens
At least it was a balanced meal :) caffiene is a food group in my life.....
half slice of Lady M green tea and chocolate mille crepes for lunch, followed by a small cup of soup from the soup spot.
Last Sunday I was cleaning out my fridge and had spam, pickles, and blue cheese salad dressing on a hotdog bun. Sort of white trash reuben. It was good with a cold beer.
re: Monica
My kids picked those out last time they got 'sugar cereal' (it's a vacation thing) and I ate half the box. It's the salty goodness!
re: pinehurst
I find myself enjoying jars of things all the time - roasted peppers and jalapenos anyone. I did have a meal once of jars of kimchi, hot yellow peppers, and pickled onions
Ok, this is not NYC-related, but on Saturday night (after returning home from the Bruins game, where I was successful in avoiding all of the "food" sold at the game), I took a week-old piece of wagyu beef (from John Dewar, one of the best butchers in the Boston area; I had prepared it in a skillet a week earlier) out of the fridge and nuked it for 60 seconds with a low-fat babybel cheese round on top. (I've learned that nuking leftover steak for 30-60 seconds works incredibly well.)
Beat that!
My roommate constantly tells me that what I'm eating at the moment "does not count as a real meal" (e.g. half a jar of peanut butter for dinner, chips for lunch, etc). A few days ago I was starving & all I had in the apartment was a tin of biscuits someone had brought over as a gift from Fortnum & Mason in London .... mmmmm shortbread cookies for dinner.
re: sharebear
Maybe if you put nut butter on the cookies its a meal.....? I hurt my jar of marantha cashew butter just last night
re: Ttrockwood
My sister-in-law is not a cook. Never cooked at home in Malaysia. Always had a hired cook.
I love her. She's a wonderful person.
We were invited over for 'steak dinner'. Her first attempt. Somehow she got the instructions for broiling steak mixed up. She served us steaks that had reached 450F internal temperature.
Everyone was too embarrassed for her to say anything.
But later in the evening we all had a good laugh together. She wondered why nobody finished their steak. Neither did she BTW. LOL
re: Puffin3
A steak can reach 450°F internal temp? Wow.
re: linguafood
Obviously the steaks didn't reach that temp but she had the oven cranked up to it's highest setting and I think her husband came into the kitchen to check how things were coming and noticed what was going on. By that time the steaks were literally like shoe leather.
re: lsmutko
Same with my mom. Once my brother and I moved out, she used to love when my dad went out of town for work because she got to have popcorn and martinis for dinner. So the bar has been set pretty low.
That being said, I had carrots and Penzey's creamy peppercorn dressing for breakfast today. I think it's fine in that it at least has some nutritional benefit, but it's probably pretty random.
re: ErnieD
Get out! I put penzey's creamy peppercorn dressing on carrots too!
re: lsmutko
Tab and cheeze-its actually sounds good.....!
This time of year i eat tons of apples, with cheddar is such a great combo
re: Monica
I used to work at a place where the owner banned popcorn making. He traveled overseas frequently and then we all popped like crazy.
re: Monica
At my last job the "stink" of ramen noodles would have been welcomed compared to the daily atrocities commited in the name of a hot lunch.....fish curries zapped for five minutes come to mind.
re: Ttrockwood
curry stinks..fish stinks...both nuked in microwave at work...I'd look for a new job immediately.
re: Ttrockwood
Most of the people at my current job microwave frozen dinners. TTTT, I would actually appreciate the smell of "real" food being microwaved, even fish.
My nose likes the smell of ramen, though, so clearly I'm defective in that regard.
Last night I made a first for me and probably the world..
Pita pocket stuffed with tons of hummus and added sambal, garlic, lemon with butter lettuce and those packets of dried cranberries/Pepita's/sunflower seeds mixes with a poppyseed dressing and I packed those bad boys up and it was so friggin' good...super weird, super good.
Just had the other half for breakfast...outstanding!!
re: Beach Chick
re: Monica
It actually does.
When I was younger and could only afford something like a pita, yes just a pita, nothing and I mean nothing would satisfy me more than a fresh baked pita filled with... salt and pepper. Sometimes I do that just to recall that feeling
And as for all the cooking mishaps here and terrible eating, I would suggest you guys do what I did 20 years ago. You will not only eat well but you will not have to make a decision for the rest of your life. Marry a Jewish woman!
re: Ziggy41
Regular pita from a supermarket vs freshly baked pita is two different animal. There is a Persian market in Great Neck called Shop Delight. They make their own sangak...I can eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner..no salt or pepper or anything needed.
btw, I married a Jewish guy who love pork cooked in milk made by me, a Korean gal. None of his friends who married Jewish women seem happy. Ha...
re: Monica
'You know mom wouldn't be happy if she knew you called that a meal.'
It was incredible and it wasn't embarrassing for me but my dignified Southern Mother would of been freaked out.
re: Kontxesi
re: Kontxesi
a good baguette with good butter is better than other stuff that's mediocre. I can live on baguette and butter. thank goodness I live close to a French bakery with good baguettes and I buy French butter to make it even better. yummm.i am salivating now.
a Met-RX chocolate peanut protein bar and a Diet Coke. Full of proceesed stuff, yes, but at least there were some added vitamins and minerals. Not the first time I've done that and it won't be the last - I'm incapable of skipping meals, and sometimes the only option for lunch is a mini-mart.
re: cookie monster
Ooooh- those met-rx bars scare me..... Although i'm sure its a bit healthier than a kibg sized snickers
Arby's drive through--brisket sandwich. First time I've been to Arby's in 20 years, I bet. But I was in drive-through need, and they were the place without the line at dinnertime.
Not terrible, actually. With better bun, it'd be worth a retry.
We're the captive audience of a hospital cafeteria, which, until about eight years ago, fed us pretty darn well. The problem started when a) budget cuts for health care started eating (so to speak) into the general operating fund, and b) the powers that be decided that We Should Be Served Healthy Meals in the Cafeteria. Sadly, they don't currently do healthy food well. The fresh green beans and asparagus are usually varying shades of brown and often mushy. hey seve "Italian" offerings with whole wheat pasta that's falling apart by the time you get it. I know they mean well, but a whole lot of the time the offerings are nothing short of gross, and I'm not that picky. The grill is the best thing they have, with several cooks that really know their stuff, but (and this is another thing) you don't get the Living Well 25% discount if you get their non-LW choices. It's sad. I spnd less there now than I ever have. They have ratcheted up their salad bar, and I often get that, but the ingredients don't vary much at all and it gets monotonous. Sigh.
So basically, 2-4 times a week when I don't[ bring my lunch.
re: EWSflash
Yikes, that sounds kind of horrific-maybe its intentional as a "weight loss" strategy.....;)
I never understood why people over cook vegetables to death.
A polish sausage sandwich and fries with beer cheese, bacon and green onions. I felt so guilty eating it - it was all so bad for me - but I somehow enjoyed it!!

"Glitterboys & Ganglands" is a documentary about a drag competition in Cape Town, South Africa. "Varla Jean and the Mushroomheads" stars Jeffery Roberson as his alter ego, Varla Jean Merman, who tries to jumpstart her fading career by creating a children's television show. Both may very well be better than their trailers, so check them out. Some of the better LGBT films at Pink Peach are not up for best film such as "OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies." Like a sophisticated Austin Powers with wit instead of smut, "OSS 117" chronicles the adventures of Hubert (Dujardin), an arrogant, sexist, politically incorrect French spy who thinks he's cool, suave and straight, and is wrong on all three counts. His denial of his sexuality is as funny as his ignorance of Eastern culture, which threatens to cause a holy war. If the name Blondie only makes you think of Debbie Harry, you ain't from around here, are you? "AKA Blondie" is a documentary profile of Anita Ray Strange, the best known stripper at the Clermont Lounge. Like the Varsity, but with booze and boobs, the Clermont is an Atlanta institution, a rite of passage for Tech students and a must-see for cool visiting celebs (as Margaret Cho affirms in the film). After a rough Ohio childhood Anita made her way to Atlanta in 1977, "right after Elvis died," started working at the Clermont and never stopped. Long a friend of the LGBT community – the men she's loved have all been gay – she says she decided in 1996 "I liked women more than men." A poet who crushes beer cans between her breasts, Blondie gets the celebration she deserves in this loving tribute. "Cruising" meets "Badlands" in "American Translation," a cautionary tale about romance and an illustrated course in abnormal psychology. Chris (Pierre Perrier), a happy-go-lucky vingt-something, is sexy and he knows it. He meets Aurore (Lizzie Brocheré) and their relationship quickly assumes an air of relative permanence. She hardly flinches when she learns Chris likes having sex with young men, and his partners don't usually survive the encounters. Also out of competition, but unpreviewed, is "Cloudburst," a dramedy about an elderly lesbian couple (Olympia Dukakis, Brenda Fricker) driving to Canada to get married. Filmmaker Thom Fitzgerald made the wonderful "The Hanging Garden." There are two programs of Pink Peach Shorts. Four Documentary Shorts include "What Do You Know?" a reboot of 1996's "It's Elementary," showing that kids continue to learn more about us at an earlier age, although the enlightened ones in this film are hardly representative of their generation. Among six Narrative Shorts are "The Men's Room," a well-made drama that places a nervous young man and a confident older man in adjacent stalls; and "Half-Share," a campy, Fire Island-set comedy that's not bad at 30 minutes but might have been painfully stretched to 90.

May 24, 2005
WASHINGTON - The Senate voted Tuesday to end years of delaying tactics that blocked the nomination of Priscilla Owen to a federal judgeship, the first fruit of a bipartisan agreement to break the logjam over President Bush's judicial choices.
The vote was 81-18 with opponents of the Texas Supreme Court justice falling well short of the 60 needed to continue their filibuster. A vote to confirm Owen could come as early as Tuesday.
Owen, nominated to a seat on the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, has been blocked four times by Democratic filibusters in the four years since Bush first nominated her early in his first term.
But this time she benefited from an agreement reached by seven Republican and seven Democratic senators, reached Monday, that opened the way for yes-or-no votes on some of Bush's stalled nominations while protecting the future right of Democrats to use the filibuster to block nominees they feel are out of the mainstream.
"It is time to close our debate," said Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., who led the ill-starred effort to deny Democrats the use of the filibuster for judicial nominations.
The agreement was greeted with a sigh of relief by senators fearing a damaging clash over filibuster rights, but was greeted cautiously by the head of the Democratic Party and questioned by a potential Republican presidential contender.
"I would be hesitant to say it's a win for the Democratic Party," said party Chairman Howard Dean in an interview with The Associated Press. That won't become clear, he added, until "we find out if the president consults with the Democrats" on future judicial nominees.
There was outright criticism among some Senate Republicans as well as conservative interest groups.
"Overall this is a major disappointment on principle," said GOP Sen. George Allen of Virginia, a potential contender for the White House in 2008. "...This so-called deal is disappointing for all of us who believe in the principle that persons should be accorded the fairness and due process of an up or down vote. Everyone should also clearly see that ultimately, nothing has been settled when a vacancy arises on the U.S. Supreme Court."
Frist, also a possible White House challenger, said for the second day in a row that he was "not a party" to the agreement sealed Monday night averting a showdown over Bush's stalled judicial nominees and the Senate's own filibuster rules.
At the same time, he said it "makes modest progress, but falls far short of guaranteeing up or down votes on judicial nominations. It needs to be carefully monitored and executed in good faith."
Whatever the long-term implications of the agreement, after a wait of more than four years, Owen seemed headed for confirmation at long last, by Wednesday at the latest.
"It's about time," Bush exclaimed. "I'm pleased that the Senate is moving forward on my judicial nominees who were previously being blocked. These nominees have waited years for an up-or-down on the Senate floor, and now they'll get one."
For their part, Senate Democratic Leader Reid and his House counterpart, Rep. Nancy Pelosi scheduled a "unity event" to argue that the agreement was a victory - and a message to the White House that the president must consult with Congress on future court nominees.
In his interview with the AP, Dean said the accord "was a huge loss for the right wing... It was clearly a loss for the president because he was getting accustomed to ramming things through the House and the Senate without any confrontation. It was a win for America because minority rights were supported."
"I would be hesitant to say it's a win for the Democratic Party," he said. "It's a real test of whether this is a real long-term agreement. That will come when we find out if the president consults with the Democrats," he added.
Aside from Allen, prominent conservatives activists criticized the compromise. "I don't think the leadership caved, it was a handful of senator who preferred to stay in the Land of Political Indecision," said Tony Perkins, head of the Family Research Council
"There will be repercussions" for the GOP senators who defected, Perkins vowed in an AP interview, mentioning Sens. Mike DeWine of Ohio, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Warner of Virginia.
Frist and Reid disagreed on one key point. The Republican said the agreement left open the possibility that he could yet attempt to strip Democrats of their right to filibuster future nominees. Reid said that avenue was closed.
The language seemed open to interpretation.
The seven Democrats and Republicans who signed it said future nominees should be filibustered - denied final votes - only under extraordinary circumstances, with each senator retaining the right to decide if that condition had been met.
The self-appointed compromisers also agreed to oppose changes in filibuster procedures "in light of the spirit and continuing commitments made in this agreement."
The agreement, crafted over the past several weeks in closed-door meetings, opened the way for yes-or-no votes on Owen and two other of Bush's judicial picks who have been in nomination limbo for more than two years - William H. Pryor Jr. for the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and Janice Rogers Brown for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
There were other political implications, as well, including the shape of the Supreme Court, the midterm election in 2006, Bush's legislative agenda and the next presidential race, especially the prospects for Frist and potential GOP rival Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
McCain, who led the compromise effort with Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said, "We tried to avert a crisis in the United States Senate and pull the institution back from a precipice."
A battle over judicial nominations that began in Bush's first term had been headed toward a more dramatic conclusion, with Frist planning to employ what both sides came to call the "nuclear option" because of its potentially disruptive effects.
Had the Democrats used their filibuster powers again to stop Owen, Frist would have sought a ruling from the chair, approvable by a simple majority, that filibusters should not be allowed to obstruct judicial nominations. Vice President Dick Cheney, as president of the Senate, was prepared to take the chair Tuesday to break a tie vote.
Unlike the House, where the majority rules, the majority in the 100-seat Senate must at times gain 60 votes to proceed on legislation over the objection of the minority. Republicans, with 55 seats have had difficulty reaching that threshold against united Democratic opposition.

Garden endings
Our garden is winding down for the season. We planted some broccoli and lettuce, but the bunnies have found them, so we are wrapping it up until Spring. We let some of our okra grow really large, and we have them spread out to dry on the back porch. The kids think it's neat that they seem to pop open at the seams as they begin to dry out, and then they feel like balsa-wood airplanes when they dry completely. After seeing these cool vase fillers, I decided that some homemade oddities would make a thrifty substitute.

Beach's Bits - Loyola
SEATTLE - After a unconvincing first 20 minutes, The Washington Huskies kicked into high gear,…
|Huskies Impressive In Opener
C.J. Wilcox (Kim Grinolds/Dawgman.com)
SEATTLE - C.J. Wilcox led all scorers with 22 points and Aziz N'Diaye bagged his sixth career double-double as the Washington Huskies opened up their 2012-13 men's basketball season in style with an impressive 85-63 win over Loyola-Maryland in front of an announced crowd of 7,381 at Alaska Airlines Arena. The game was part of the Basketball Hall of Fame Tip-Off Tournament.
The Greyhounds were supposed to be a tough test for the Huskies (1-0), as they advanced to the NCAA Tournament last year by winning the MAAC (Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference), but Washington took a two-point halftime lead and ran away from Loyola with a 52-point second half outburst, including a 9-0 run ending with a Wilcox bomb to put the game completely out of reach at 79-58 with 3:09 remaining in the game.
Besides Wilcox's 22 points, Senior guard Abdul Gaddy chipped in 17 points, while fellow senior Scott Suggs added 15 more for the Huskies. N'Diaye hauled down 16 rebounds to go with his 10 points. Redshirt freshman Andrew Andrews scored nine points for UW, and sophomore forward Desmond Simmons tallied seven more for the winning team. It was the ninth time in Wilcox's career that he's scored 20 or more points for UW.
For Loyola, they were led by junior guard Dylon Cormier, who finished the game with 19 points. MAAC Pre-Season Player of the Year pick Erik Etherly added 15 and eight rebounds for the Greyhounds (0-1)
"Well that game was about whether we won or lost, was about how we predicted, a team that changes defenses, a team that wont beat itself, that's the team we played tonight, I thought our guys did a really good job," UW Head Coach Lorenzo Romar said.
"We went to the NCAA last year and played Kentucky and were down four at halftime, we've been down two at West Virigina, I can't have a practice half as good as that…that gets us ready," added Loyola Head Coach Jimmy Patsos. "Remember we are in the Mid Major level. We got to win three games in March, we did that last year and we'll learn from this and I had a couple guys out but the experience was great and the fans were good and it was a great place to play and a great trip. The second half, we got tired, they made threes and we learn from that."
The Huskies will also learn from their mistakes. Romar noted the quickness of the Loyola players to the basket, which led to a 19-9 offensive rebounding discrepancy for the Greyhounds in the game. Washington ended up out-rebounding the Greyhounds in total 38-34.
"That's just one of the things we just have not done a good job with and we have to keep working at it, keep getting better and I think tonight was a good wake up call," Romar said. "We don't like learning from defeat, in victory our guys were able to see this is what happens when we don't box out, a team like Loyola went to work on us on the offensive glass."
Washington came out perhaps a little too excited for the season opener, turning the ball over 11 times, but shored that part of their game up in the second half where they only coughed the ball up once. They finished the game with an even assist-to-turnover ratio (12-12).
"First game… whatever you want to call it, I thought we settled down and did a fine job," Romar said. "I don't think we turned it over in terms of pressure, they are pretty good at that press, that's their bread and butter. You go on the road and press as much as they do, that's something they do to get baskets."
But in beating an NCAA Tournament team by 22, they definitely did some things right. They quietly put up 85 points on a team that only surrendered an average of 64 points a game last year en route to a 24-9 record.
"That was a low possession game in a lot of cases," said Romar. "We shot 54 percent, I thought we had great shots, we shot 73 percent from the foul line, we got to the foul line a lot. I just think that the offense tonight provided great balance to where you are able to make the defense play. Four guys are in double figures, if Andrew Andrews makes a free throw, you have five guys in double figures."

Hi All,
I've never developed my own recipe before, so I took a look at summersolstice's recipe for the Chimay Blue and made a couple modifications. I really don't know what I'm doing so any help in reviewing my changes would be appreciated. summersolstice's recipe was a little low on OG according to the guidelines for a belgian dark strong so I tweaked some of the numbers by adding additional extract, and additional grains.
Where I'm really concerned is by adding more torrified wheat to bring the OG up without making the beer too dark. Is my method acceptable for the style or do i need to consider some Light LME instead of more wheat steeping grain? If I substitute 1.5lbs of Pale LME and cut the wheat down to 1lb, I still stay in the numbers that I'm looking for.
Any and all help is appreciated.

On Deck - Wolfgang's Black Heart, Belgian Strong Dark
The best Belgian Dark Strongs I've made were just pale base malt, dark candi syrup, and a small amount of Special B (typically <5% by weight).
The most important aspect of that type of beer will be the FG. 1.023 will be sickly-sweet. With very little bitterness to balance the sweetness, you will need a much dryer-than-average beer. The high alcohol and low residual sweetness will make it drinkable. You want between 1.008-1.014. One way to get the FG lower is by ditching some of the specialty grains, and increasing the sugar amount. Lyles golden syrup seems like a waste, because of it's price, and the fact that it's not bringing much to the flavor party. Why not use plain table sugar? I'd use something like dark candi syrup, or you can make your own:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f12/20-l...trient-114837/
Also, here's a link to one of my BDSs. This particular one was oak-aged, but the base beer is solid:http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f74/belg...tested-212251/
To paraphrase Dr. England - "Off-flavors smooth with time. So do mountains. Brew it right from the start!"
My blogsite: http://nateobrew.blogspot.com/
I have seen two distinct recipes for this, both with dark candy sugar, and both with paradise seed. Don't know if this info may help, but thought I would throw it out there.
Any software you use to compute OG and FG will assume 75% attenuation. My last BDS started at 1.095 and ended at 1.010, giving me 11.3% ABV. That is 89% apparent attenuation, and far greater than what any software would estimate. With a good amount of sugar, that degree of attenuation is not terribly difficult to achieve.
Oh, and if you haven't read Brew Like a Monk, you should. It states that Chimay Blue starts at 1.077, has 9% ABV, 89% apparent attenuation, 40 SRM, and 35 IBUs.
It's really amazing how simple the grain bills are for very complex beers. You can make a good BDS with only pale malt and dark syrup, and some breweries do. Some use a mix of dark syrup and simple table sugar. For example, Duvel uses only pilsener malts and Dextrose. Westvleteren 8 is Pale and pils malts, and sucrose and caramelized sugar. Rochefort 10 uses pils malt, one cara malt, white sugar, dark sugar, and wheat starch.
I think anyone who has had those beers would call them "complex" although their recipes certainly are not.
Ok, lets try this again (and thanks for your assistance) Its still pretty complicated but I set it for an 85% attenuation

I would replace the amber and munich LME with just pale, or get rid of all the steeping grains except the Special B. In those darker LMEs they use specialty grains to get the color and flavor right. Which grains, and how much, I don't know. You'll get a ton of color from the candi syrup and the amber and munich LMEs won't be necessary.
That way also you'll have a better idea of what your steeping grains taste like, instead of whatever cocktail of grains the maltster used to make the LME.
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll rework it again and post back later this evening. I really do appreciate the help.
I used to make a lot of mediocre beer using the "malt soup" complex recipe approach. Now I use simple recipes, and my beers are a lot better than they used to be. Some of my best beers have used only pale malt, with no specialty grains at all.
The best thing you can take away from Brew Like a Monk is how simple recipes can be to make outstanding beer.

Sun City West, AZ
When it comes to appreciating the performing arts, there is no better venue to experience this than the Stardust Theatre. This is the home of local productions, such as the Variety Show and Theater West. These staged performances feature local folks and groups. You can also check out the Rhythm Tappers, a local dance group, as well as other musical revues. The venue also sponsors a showing of classic feature films to further feed the appetite of visual arts enthusiasts. Without doubt, the Stardust Theatre goes a long way in adding a cultural and artistic vibe to the immediate area.
Golfing is as much a part of living in this state as enjoyment of the sun. In Sun City West, both of these aspects are present at the Briarwood Country Club. This is a course that was designed by the well-known Greg Nash. The appeal of the course here is that it is competitive, but not so challenging that even professionals would have a hard time. The course design is equally accessible to men and women, beginners and veterans. Golf lessons from golf pros are available, as well as a great Pro Shop for you equipment needs.
The purpose of the Sun Cities Museum is to preserve the history of the community and provide a mechanism to educate and raise public awareness. To accomplish this, the museum, in partnership with the Sun Cities Area Historical Society, collects and displays all types of memorabilia and artifacts that recount that area's history. The Museum offers an excellent opportunity for residents to become in tune with the events that shaped the existence of their home. The museum even adds a degree of validity to this community by establishing a linkable history to the area's past.

This tip describes comfortable ways of debugging Google Web Toolkit (GWT) applications using various configurations of launchers using Eclipse, m2eclipse and the Google Eclipse Plugin.
Usage of codehaus GWT-maven plugin is divided to two alternatives - one using GEP launch configuration and one using standard Java launch configuration. Needed tools:
- Eclipse
- maven
- m2eclipse plugin
- (first alternative) Google Eclipse Plugin for GWT 1.6+ projects
- sample or your own complex structure of multimodule maven project
The tutorial will use sample structure to describe setup of whole project in Eclipse with possibility to automatically propagate change in source files of dependent modules to final GUI. The sample structure is prepared for extending with new use cases.
Let's consider simplified scenario of one framework module and one customer's web portal.
- Framework module (fw1-mod) can be used by different portals in combination with different modules
- Framework module is developed by us and it is reflecting common behaviour used in these portals
- Customer's portal (cust-war) has also it's own shared module (cust-common) of common customer's behaviour
- Framework module is more generic, customer shared module is specific only to that customer
- framework module is located in java/fw1/fw1-mod
- customer's portal is located in web/cust-portal/cust-war
This step is common for both alternatives - import projects into Eclipse using m2eclipse facilities.
- File → Import → Maven → Existing Maven Projects
- import fw1-mod, fw1-parent, cust-parent & cust-war
- ensure that Workspace resolution is enabled
Generating Launch configuration
Steps needed to generate one of the launch configurations are as follows:
if you don't want to change the structure of your project to structure required by GWT 1.6 you will use standard Java launcher
- mvn -Duse.google.eclipse.plugin=false gwt:eclipse
if you have GWT 1.6 compatible structure you can use GEP
- mvn gwt:eclipse
- there will be a launch configuration generated e.g. sk.seges.mmi.cust.Universe.launch
- copy it to .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.debug.core/.launches directory of your workspace
- re/start eclipse
Google Eclipse Plugin Launch configuration
Just search the launch configuration in Eclipse and run it. All dependencies are resolved automatically and GEP is copying a change transparently. If you take a look on the classpath GEP has it will be the same as the one you would setup for Java App. launch configuration.
Java App. Launch configuration
For non-GWT 1.6 projects the hardest part, modification of the classpath of the launch configuration:
- open launch configuration
follow these steps as described here
- select "Classpath" tab
- select "User Entries"
- press "Advanced"
select "Add folder"
- for each project that cust-war is dependent of add its source/resource directories
- these dependencies must be before "cust-war (default classpath)" so the hosted mode can recognize direct change - see
Such launch configuration can be reused and doesn't need modification until dependency change. It is running hosted mode directly. If all dependent module classpaths are not before cust-war default classpath hosted mode doesn't know of the change and reinstall or clean of that changed project is needed.
Final word
With any launch configuration you can do following:
- run hosted mode with launcher
- modify e.g. a string in Location class in fw1-mod
- press Ctrl+S in Eclipse
- press Refresh button in hosted mode
- voila! change appears
