Gausman looks to cool homer-happy A's
Gray gets call for Oakland in search of seventh victory of season
The Athletics are crushing the ball. In winning, 4-3, in 11 innings on Friday night, Oakland continued its impressive streak, homering in its 14th straight game, thanks to solo shots from Josh Donaldson and Derek Norris.
Instead of facing originally scheduled starter Miguel Gonzalez, who was placed on the disabled list on Friday, Oakland's high-powered bats will meet right-hander Kevin Gausman, who started five games last year, but mostly saw time out of the bullpen for the Orioles. He made one start this season on May 14, throwing four innings against Detroit.
Gonzalez landed on the DL with a strained right oblique, retroactive to May 31. The hope is that the righty, who is 3-4 with a 4.17 ERA this season, won't be sidelined long.
Gonzalez had an MRI this week and though the results were favorable, meaning no serious injury, the Orioles decided not to risk starting him Saturday, especially after using six pitchers in Thursday's 8-6 loss at the Texas Rangers.
"I'll think he'll be OK," said manager Buck Showalter about Gausman. "If not we'll shuffle the deck ... I'm hoping Miguel is an option on [June] the 15th, 16th or 17th, depending on where we want to slot him. I hope that Kevin makes it real hard on us, wanting to keep him around."
Gausman, drafted fourth overall in 2012 by the Orioles, will face A's ace Sonny Gray, who has hung around the American League ERA leaderboard all season, entering Friday with a 2.45 mark -- good for fifth in the AL.
The right-hander most recently limited the Angels to three runs over 6 2/3 innings while throwing a season-high 113 pitches on Sunday. In doing so, he improved to 6-1 on the year, posting his 11th quality start in 12 tries.
"I've felt really good the last couple times out," said Gray. "Figuring some things out a little later in the game with my breaking ball. I expect to move forward with that and just get better the next time out."
"You always feel good when he takes the mound," said manager Bob Melvin.
On the road this year, Gray is 3-0 with a 1.25 ERA and .160 opponents' average. He's made just one career start against the Orioles, and it also doubles as the worst start of his career, having allowed six runs on eight hits and two walks with three strikeouts in just 3 1/3 innings on Aug. 25, 2013.
A's: Melvin to be cautious with Crisp
• Coco Crisp was held out of the A's starting lineup with ongoing neck soreness for the second time in three days Friday, and it's likely he misses a few more starts from time to time until the issue goes away.
Oakland's center fielder initially suffered a neck strain nearly a month ago and, after missing several games thereafter, has been trying to play through it without avail.
"I think, now, it's just about trying to get him a few days of rest to try to get him better," said Melvin. "He'll feel pretty good after a day of rest and then play a game and then maybe take half a step backward. So I'm going to be a little bit more proactive about getting him more rest here, so there will be some days you won't see him in the lineup."
Enter Craig Gentry, who started in center field while batting leadoff in Baltimore on Friday.
"That's why we got him," said Melvin. "Coco always needs some days off based on how hard he plays, and he's getting a little bit older. We knew that coming in, so that's why we targeted Craig. It's nice to have a guy like that. You know you're getting a guy that can do different things on the field."
Crisp entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth and drew a leadoff walk before scoring the tying run.
Orioles: Hunter to make rehab start Saturday
• Tommy Hunter will pitch for Class A Delmarva on Saturday on a rehab assignment, and the plan is for him to be activated off the disabled list on Sunday.
"He threw two innings today in a sim game -- it went well," Showalter said of Hunter, who was out pregame in Texas getting his work in. "Covered first. So Saturday he will drive up to Delmarva, it's our only home team [that day]."
Hunter will drive back that night, and the O's will have to make a roster move to add him back prior to Sunday's game. Hunter's DL stay is retroactive to May 21 and the right-hander bounced back fairly quick from the left groin strain. Hunter joined the O's in Texas on Monday night and threw a side session on Tuesday.
Worth noting
• This series marks the first meeting of 2014, after the A's lost the season series last year, 2-5. It was the A's first season series loss to Baltimore since 1998.

Wow. That's a +2 GOE. His knee bend is very much like Oda, but the jump looks really secure. Fist pump = +1 GOE.
Good for him but will he put it in a competition? How does doing a quad effect his spins and footwork and doing jumps after the halfway point in a free skate? I am just thinking of the fact that Brezina does a great one and hasn't done it in a competition. There are so many factors that must be considered now that the Olympic Gold medalists proved you dont need one.
Does Japan have the best jump coaches or what?
^^ The fist pump is so cute!! It probably isn't a consistent jump for him yet. But it looks great. I love how relaxed he is going into it; he looks so relaxed, dodging all these people; busy time at the rink! I hope we get to see him on the GP!
He has such a soft knee. Amazing!! BTW, is he practicing quads at public session?
She is Nanami Abe. She choreographed for Nana Takeda & Takahito Mura, too.
According to this profile (sorry, in Japanese only), she learned from TAT and Evgeny Platov how to teach.
This kid is ridiculous. It's like the male version of Mao as a young teenager, throwing 3a and 3-3 like they were doubles and doing that since age 12. Amazing
She seems to have been a student of Nagakubo and then after turing a pro skater, she worked as an assistant coach of Nagakubo, then became a coach/choreographer. She also spent 2003-4 season with Shizuka where she worked with TAT and Platov. Nagakubo students seem traditionally strong at jumps.
He is totally amazing. I think I just have read he will begin to learn quad for like 1 or 2 month ago and now he has it. Brovo to him and his coach.

All our playtesters were excited to try the new Babolat SFX shoe, and it did not disappoint. The heavily cushioned SFX complements its speedy and low-profile big sister, the Propulse Lady 3. All our playtesters agreed that these were some of the most comfortable shoes around, right out of the box. As soon as they put them on they noticed the great cushioning all the way around the shoe, from the roomy and well-padded toe box to the unique multi-layered insole. The five-layered insole really molds to the foot and gives a great form-fitted feel. In addition to the cushioning, the shoe provided impressive stability. Excellent support around the heel and a wide toe box provided a solid base for changing direction on the court. In addition to the excellent cushioning and stability, Babolat's unique Michelin Performance outsole made the SFX very durable. Babolat even offers a six-month durability guarantee in case you're a non-believer. To conclude, our playtesters agreed that the Babolat SFX is all about comfort!
Comfort - Score: 4.6
All of our playtesters loved the cushioned feel of the Babolat SFX. Karly said, "The Babolat SFX shoes are some of the most comfortable shoes out there! If I didn't know any better, I would've thought they were slippers. The cushioning was tremendous throughout the entire shoe. I didn't experience any pinching or poking, and with the combination of excellent padding, soft insole and nonexistent break-in period, it made me wish all shoes were as comfy as these."
Brittany loved the comfortable fit, too. She said, "This shoe is very comfortable. It is one of the most comfortable shoes I have ever tried on. I think the standout feature for me was the insole. The insole was very cushioned and quite plush feeling. I thought there was the right amount of cushioning in the insole without going overboard. I had out of the box comfort and did not have to break-in the shoes at all."
Siobhan agreed with the other playtesters. She said, "This shoe is very comfortable. The cushioning was my favorite part of the shoe. It was really soft inside the shoe, and I felt that it didn't lose its performance shoe qualities even with this cushioning. There was no break-in period, and I really like how the tongue was attached to the shoe with elastic -- it made it fit around my foot really well. The shoe is supposed to be roomier in the forefoot for increased comfort, but I just found it to be a bit of a hindrance. I went down a half-size because of the roominess, but if I got another pair, I would stay true to size. I would rather put up with a wider forefoot and have my foot slip around a bit than a shoe being too short (and hitting my toes into the end). So a little lose-lose, but like I said, the cushioning was a dream."
It was love at first fitting for Tiffani. She said, "I once described these shoes as cradling my feet with love, and I stand by that description. The SFX shoes are so comfortable and required no break-in for me. With my wide feet I often find shoes too narrow, but that was not an issue with the SFX. The shoes molded to my feet almost immediately, and the cushioning held up throughout the playtest. I simply haven't played in shoes so roomy and seemingly made for my feet in quite some time."
Ventilation - Score: 3.2
Our playtest team found the ventilation of the SFX to be pretty standard. Siobhan said, "I didn't notice it. My feet weren't cool coming out of a practice, but I played in some pretty sweaty conditions and didn't notice any excessive overheating or discomfort."
Brittany agreed. She said, "I found the ventilation in the shoe to be right around average. The shoe didn't keep my foot exceptionally cool, but now we're playing in summer months where the weather is a little warmer. There were several perforations on the top and sides of the shoe that helped, but my feet came out feeling slightly warm after a long hit."
Tiffani didn't have an issue with the ventilation. She said, "This wasn't the most breathable shoe, but with so much cushioning I wasn't expecting it to be. On warmer days I noticed the heat build-up a little bit during play, but it wasn't a huge distraction. However, after playing I really didn't like to wear these for very long."
Of everyone who tried it, Karly was the only one that seemed to have an issue. She said, "The ventilation felt below average for me. While playing in them my feet felt a little overheated, but not enough to bother me or make me want to take the shoes off. It wasn't until I was done hitting that I thought the shoe had poor ventilation. The shoes and the socks were always damp after playing in them. The excellent padding throughout seemed to absorb all the sweat and it took the shoe a while to dry out."
Arch Support - Score: 3.9
Everyone seemed to find the medium arch support of the SFX to be a non-issue. Brittany enjoyed the arch support. She said, "I found the arch support to be a healthy medium in this shoe. Even though I have a medium arch, I definitely felt the arch support. While the arch was prominent for me, I didn't find it to be uncomfortable or painful. I probably would have liked the arch slightly lower, but I was able to get use to it during the playtest."
Siobhan also really enjoyed the arch support. She said, "I think the elastic that held the tongue in place really helped the shoe feel like it had good support. In line with the comfort, the support and comfort came hand in hand here. Through the arch I felt supported, despite it being medium to low support."
Tiffani felt well supported by the shoe the whole time. She said, "I didn't notice the arch support causing any issues, and my feet always felt supported. I really enjoyed the feel from the insole, and I think it was the memory foam layer that really helped the shoe contour to my foot."
Karly had a little different opinion about the arch but still had no problems with it. She explained, "The arches were lower than average and didn't offer much support, but it didn't cause any problems for me. I didn't experience any pain so I didn't mind the lower arch support."
Foot Support/Stability - Score: 4.0
Our team was comfortable with the foot support and stability of the SFX, though there were a few issues. Tiffani had to adjust to the extra cushioning, but felt confident in the stability. She said, "This shoe is super soft feeling and sometimes I felt like it maybe was a little too soft for my liking when making sharp lateral moves. The SFX was plenty stable for all my footwork, but because it was so soft I felt like it took me a little bit longer to transfer my weight and move the other direction. It's not really a knock against its support and stability, I'm just used to less cushioning in my shoes."
Karly thought, "The shoe offered decent stability. They held my foot well and I never felt like I was going to roll an ankle in them. Lack of support and instability was never an issue for me with the SFX."
Siobhan felt the support and stability when she put the shoes to the test. She said, "Despite it being super cushioned, which usually takes away from the performance aspects, I found the performance to be good and I liked how it felt to move in these shoes. I did slip a couple times (which I blame a little on the court I was on and a little on the traction), and this did scare me a little in regards to an ankle roll. That said, when I did slip I found that the shoe supported me and kept me pretty stable. I felt comfortable but safe in these shoes. I had quick footwork in these, and I liked my ability to get around the court fast without feeling weighed down."
The width of the shoe was a bit of an issue for Brittany, but she still felt the support was excellent. She said, "I would have given the SFX a higher score if I didn't have narrow feet. The support around my ankle and midfoot was exceptional. I had complete confidence that I wasn't going to roll my ankle in the shoe. However, the toe box was too wide for my narrow feet and I found my foot slipping around in the front of the shoe. I also went down a half-size to try to decrease the width. This helped a lot, but caused the shoe to be a little short in length."
Overall Sole Durability - Score: 3.7
Babolat's exclusive Michelin Performance outsole seemed up to the challenge of our playtesters. Brittany said, "The shoe had solid outsole durability. I thought it held up very well against all my aggressive movements on the court. I saw a little smoothing in the usual areas but nothing out of the ordinary. In fact, I think it was a little better than average, and it comes with a six-month durability guarantee."
Siobhan was also happy with the sole durability. She said, "The sole started wearing out a little along the medial forefoot. I have no complaints, though, because the wear wasn't anything I would call excessive."
Durability was not a problem for Tiffani, either. She said, "There is a durability guarantee, so that's a definite plus. Even though it's the same outsole material that's on the Propulse Lady 3, I feel like I'm working through the rubber faster on the SFX. I don't think durability is going to be a problem, though, as I just saw some smoothing of the tread show up around 10 hours."
The amount of wear was pretty standard for Karly. She said, "I didn't think they were the most durable shoes, but they lasted longer than I was expecting. Generally lighter, more comfortable shoes lack durability, but I thought the sole durability was average. I experienced the most wear at the midfoot, which I thought was unusual because I normally wear my shoes out toward the toe."
Toe Durability - Score: 3.9
Our toe-dragging playtesters had no issues with the SFX's toe durability. Karly said, "I tend to be a little bit of a toe dragger, but I didn't have any concerns with the toe durability of the SFX. I thought the sole had better durability toward the toe, and the shoe had plenty of coverage up onto the upper part of the shoe to keep it well protected."
Tiffani liked the toe durability as well. She said, "The top of the shoe looks like it's going to last pretty well. It's the tip of the toe where the outsole wraps up that is wearing the quickest. The little decorative dimple area smoothed flat in five hours, and that's where I think I'll put a hole first."
Brittany said, "There was a thick toe bumper that came up to the top of the shoe. Apart from a little bit of smoothing, there was no damage to that area. With the thick toe bumper and the rubber material on the top of the shoe that meets the toe bumper, I felt well protected against toe dragging damage."
Traction - Score: 3.4
Most of our playtesters found the traction to be a little bit of a problem in the SFX. Siobhan said, "I struggled with this a little bit. Like I mentioned above, I slipped in these a couple of times when I was running for wide balls. Full disclosure: there was a lot of ball fluff on the court and it probably contributed to the problem -- although I've played on these courts in many different shoes and don't usually slip. That aside, I never want to slip in tennis shoes, and I did several times in these."
Brittany had a similar opinion. She said, "The traction is just OK with this shoe. When I was changing directions I experienced some slipping. I didn't really find any standout features with traction. I felt I had a hard time stopping and starting at times, and I think the weight of the shoe played a factor in that."
Karly felt the traction change over time. She said, "At first, the shoe's traction was really sticky. The first few times I hit in them they would stick and squeak on the court, almost like a basketball shoe. Then I thought the shoe lost its traction and I became more concerned about slipping than sticking. I wish the traction would've lasted a little longer and wasn't as sticky at the beginning -- somewhere right in the middle would've been ideal."
Tiffani thought the traction was excellent, however. She said, "The SFX outsole had great stick from the get-go. Dare I say almost too good? There were a couple of instances as I was coming to net that I felt my feet get caught up, and I sort of fell into the volley. The shoe also squeaked a lot until I broke it in a little bit, though that's more of a minor annoyance than anything. The shoe always gripped well."
Weight - Score: 3.4
Our team thought the excellent cushioning and support in the SFX added to the weight of the shoe. Karly said, "The weight was just average for me. They didn't feel super heavy and I could move well in them, but they did feel heavier than their actual weight. I think all the padding made them feel a bit clunky and bulky, which added to the weightier feel."
Brittany agreed. She said, "Unfortunately, with the stability and cushioning of the shoe also comes the weight. I found this shoe to be on the heavier side, as I am used to and a fan of lightweight shoes. I definitely was aware of these shoes on my feet when I was moving around on the court, and at times they felt on the clunky side. I didn't feel as fast as I normally do on court."
Tiffani concurred. She said, "The shoe is well padded and fits quite wide, so I didn't feel the fastest on the court. I was comfortable for sure, but I definitely wasn't feeling as quick on court as usual."
Agreeing once again was Siobhan, who said, "Weight was average, heading toward the realm of being too heavy. They were definitely a couple of ounces heavier than the normal speed style shoe that I enjoy. I think the amount of cushioning was the tradeoff for the weight."
Overall - Score: 3.7
Brittany - "I liked the comfort and ankle stability."
Siobhan - "I liked how comfortable they were, so cushioned and soft while still being a performance shoe that I felt I could compete in."
Karly - "I liked how well padded and cushioned these shoes were. They were so comfortable, and I loved the extremely soft feel right out of the box."
Tiffani - "These shoes were so comfortable from the first time I put them on. I loved the wide fit and really cushioned feel."
Brittany - "The heavier weight, wide toe box and all white cosmetic were negatives for me."
Siobhan - "The slipping, and how roomy the forefoot was."
Karly - "The ventilation. I was almost tempted to hang these shoes up to dry after every hit because they absorbed so much sweat."
Tiffani - "I felt a little bit slower in them, but honestly, the comfort factor outweighs that issue."
Comparing the SFX to other shoes they've worn, our testers said:
Brittany - "I would compare this shoe to the KSwiss Big Shot. They had many of the same characteristics, including good cushioning and comfort, good stability and a heavier weight."
Siobhan - "I would compare the performance, feel and ability to move around in to the Gel Resolution 4, despite a heavier weight and higher cushioning in the SFX."
Karly - "The excellent cushioning reminded me of the Wilson Tour Ikon shoe, but I thought the SFX's insole made it a more comfortable shoe. You could see and feel the difference in the different layers in the Babolat insole, which added to the superb padding of the shoe."
Tiffani - "This reminds me of the Prince T20 in terms of cushioning. Both have pillow-like cushioning. The T20 was another shoe with a slightly wider fit and loads of comfort. The SFX fits even wider than the T20, and I think the SFX also manages to keep a lower profile to the ground despite all the cushioning. I'm loving this shoe right now."
Playtester Foot Types:
Brittany - Narrow width / Medium arch

Recipe 666: Deviled Eggs – Damn, These Were Hella Good

Hilarious! I love how you used every opportunity to squeeze in a devilish comment!

Chef John:
You live in a unique place in which the word "hella" is used as an intensive adjective. As in the first time I heard it, in a bar in Sacramento: "that shot was hella."
It seems Northern Californians don't have enough time to utter the words "hell of a -," instead choosing to contract the phrase to "hella," which gets really annoying to everyone else after about 10 minutes.
So thank you for not describing your deviled eggs as being "hella good."
Anyway, my friend Don is a professional musician, and in that capacity he works at a lot of wedding receptions. He is also a fiend for deviled eggs. At previous wedding gigs he's been asked (politely) to stay away from the deviled eggs, after making a nuisance of himself. So I'm going to make this recipe for him.
And what the hell is a Fresno pepper? Is that just some weak kind of Californian way to say something nice about Fresno? I've been there. You don't have to defend it.

Can't wait to try the 17 minute method either. I've come across quite a few different approaches, but somehow I think this will be simple enough to remember.

Any tips or tricks to get your yolks to stay in the centre, or is it just a matter of using fresh eggs.
- January 5, 2012 at 2:58 AM
- Randy said...
I put all of the yolk ingredients into a Ziploc bag (usually nested over the lip of a glass to make it sturdy), zip it up and then knead together the ingredients in that bag until well mixed (no need to get bowl or whisk or spatula dirty).
Then just snip off the corner of the bag and pipe the contents into the egg white halves. - January 5, 2012 at 5:52 AM
- philogaia said...
David, if you put a rubber band around the egg carton and store it on its long side for a day the yolks will center.
Chef John; I do the simmer gently for 10 minutes after the water just reaches a boil method and I do question how well your method works unless you cook a dozen eggs in a large pan with 3 quarts of water. I have no doubt that works but question whether smaller amounts (which is usual for me) would work. Though I do love the yolks a bit runny in some cases so I may give it a go when it matters less. - January 5, 2012 at 10:35 AM
My secret ingredient for devilled eggs is an avocado, I think it takes the place if the cream cheese in your recipe. It adds a velvety richness and an attractive color. I like to use olive oil in the mix as well. I garnish with drops of chile oil, and maybe a little lemon zest. The sweethot chili rings are going to look GREAT with my green deviled eggs!

The hard boiled egg method works. Tested a dozen times worked for me every time. Two or a dozen eggs no matter.
- January 5, 2012 at 2:24 PM
- philogaia said...
So Daeril, the method will work using less water? Say one quart and cooking two eggs?
- January 5, 2012 at 3:54 PM
I can't cope with the pressure of life and soon-to-come exams...I wish I was a cat living in someone else's garden. I would get 2 or 3 meals a day and would live a stress-free life made of naps, kneading and eating.

Chef John-
Your instructions for boiling eggs could be an epitaph: "He needed a thermometer to tell when water reached a simmer!"
The problem is that water will not reach a temperature of 210DegF at elevations above about 984 feet MSL. Where I live, the boiling point is about 204DegF.
Maybe you should consider using sous vide for cooking the eggs if you are determined to use a thermometer.
Also, your technique for shelling the eggs would be interesting.
Jim - January 5, 2012 at 4:54 PM
It is true that time for hard boiling eggs changes with altitude. San Francisco is at sea level after all. Where I live, it takes twenty minutes to get eggs to be hard. I do use your method--it just takes a little longer.
I notice that you skipped over the peeling segment :-). Did they really all come out that nice?
Jackie - January 6, 2012 at 12:00 PM
Yumminy-goodness! I'm going to try this as soon as my diet is over.
- January 6, 2012 at 12:16 PM
- Daeril said...
philogaia: As I remember in the original recipe there was a vague description of covering the eggs with about an inch water. Being a continental european I have no idea how much an inch is so I eyeball it every time. Works best with thick bottomed pans, I once had cracked an egg with thin bottoms, the yolk was perfect though.
- January 6, 2012 at 3:14 PM
I made deviled eggs (not exactly this recipe but similar) with your HOME-MADE mayo recipe you posted on this site and it was amazing! best deviled eggs anyone ever had.
- January 6, 2012 at 3:57 PM
What the heck is printed on the eggs? Is that a west coast thing? (I've never seen it here in New Jersey)
- January 7, 2012 at 7:18 AM
- inchrisin said...
I'm thinking about trying the boiled eggs method. I have an electric stove and the time it will take to bring the water to a simmer will be longer than those who have gas stoves. Will this change the results?
Maybe nobody wants to talk to the chef with a crappy stove, AKA leprosy. - January 7, 2012 at 9:20 AM
- Ofelia said...
Where exactly did you buy the piping bag? I can't find it anywhere where I live :(
- January 7, 2012 at 1:35 PM
inchrisin: I'm with you on that. We are indeed a lesser bunch of electric stove cookin' losers. I think you just have to do your best with what you have (and asking questions as you just did helps too)
Heck I even leave meat out of recipes sometimes. From what I've gathered from passive aggressive snide remarks here that means I'm an even bigger part of Team Culinary Annoyance!

Great recipe, as always!
Just a question about the parking lot jibe though. What's wrong with backing into parking lots? It's the default way of parking in my country. - January 8, 2012 at 12:50 AM
- george jefferson said...
GO NINERS!!! well, at least you're not a jets fan.
- January 8, 2012 at 7:08 AM
@anonymous in NJ, I'm from NY, now live in Nevada and the eggs are Eggland's best eggs, so they are stamped with a red/pink EB!
- January 8, 2012 at 6:55 PM
Is there anyway to print just the recipe and instructions from the video?
- January 8, 2012 at 7:02 PM

No, but Allrecipes is working on typing up recipes!

Love the Kardashian joke btw!
- January 11, 2012 at 12:57 AM
for those of us to live in another country and have no idea what Sriracha is, what can I use instead?. I used to have this with tuna and mayo when i was little , and i wanted to try this recipe,
thanks :D - March 13, 2012 at 6:45 PM
- Chef John said...
It's just hot sauce. Use anything spicy.
- March 13, 2012 at 8:48 PM
- Gretchen in NOLA said...
I used Frank's hot sauce, cuz I personally find Sriracha kind of skanky :p and tabasco is a little to vinegary.
New Orleans is WELL below sea level and the 17 mins. seems just right. Be sure the cold water is ICE cold. I heard it causes the inside of the eggs to steam up or something, and pull that membrane stuff underneath the shell, away from the egg for easy peeling. Gotta check Alton B.'s take on that...hmmm... - April 4, 2012 at 11:26 AM
- Gretchen in NOLA said...
Oh yeah, could call the pepper rings "HELL-o's"...get it? Halos, hell-os? *crickets chirping*
- April 4, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Dear Chef John,
Whats the purpose of using vinegar or any acid for that matter in this recipe? Would love to know. Have a great day - May 5, 2012 at 2:42 AM
- Chef John said...
Depends on the recipe! But usually for the taste. Was this a trick question? ;)
- May 5, 2012 at 10:42 AM
Your comment about backing into parking spaces had me cracking up laughing! I thought I was the only one that hated when people do that. >:|
- May 19, 2012 at 4:31 PM
Ok, ok, I'm guilty, I just love backing into parking spots, make it so much easier to make a fast getaway!!! LOL!!! Anyway, love your videos, you are hilarious!!!

everyone is "going" to make these, but has anyone actually made them that would like to leave a comment?
- March 23, 2013 at 12:24 AM

I recently found jarred Peppadew peppers at my local grocery store and love the taste. They may be tasty and quick alternative to the candied jalapenos.
- January 7, 2014 at 2:55 PM
- Jerry Drzewiecki said...
I am in a spicy mood today so here is another suggestion. I have a recipe for pickled eggs which I have always loved. What do you think about using pickled eggs for these deviled eggs?. I haven't tried it yet but, need some encouragement.
- January 14, 2014 at 3:43 PM
- withextraonions said...
I know this is a couple years late, but I'm a new fan and was falling in love with you until I did the playoff math. Was this not the year the Giants played the 49ers? Yeah, I know you didn't grow up in the Bay Area, but you make enough Bay Area-love comments that I was certain you had adopted it as your surrogate home. Who did you root for that year when they actually played each other in the championship, hmm? This was a devilish act indeed: I'm both hungry from watching this delicious recipe and disappointed. Will my stomach overrule my loyalty? So torn.
- March 9, 2014 at 10:27 AM
- Peter Sices said...
I love eggs, I love mayo, and I love cream cheese! Never occurred to me to add cream cheese to my deviled eggs. Gotta try it. Thx

Hi Chef,
I posted on a comment under your jambalaya recipe a couple years ago and you replied I was going to make a man very lucky someday. Remember me? Even if you don't, you're still my favorite chef as your recipes are tried and true time after time. Fortunately for me, I found that lucky man and recently cooked about 10 different dishes for his family for Thanksgiving. Oh I stepped up to that plate and sure glad I did, with your help of course. These deviled eggs were a huge hit. Everyone loved them and a Bostonian making deviled eggs for a southern family is kind of like being a fish out of water. I had no clue what a deviled egg was as they are not popular in the northeast. Well, they loved them. One guest actually commented that "they were like crack and made you keep coming back for more". A little inappropriate and extreme indeed but boy that's just what every cook wants to hear! He said he was a connoisseur and these were by far the best he's ever had. I think the candied Fresno pepper was like the cherry on the sundae. I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Not only for a kickass deviled egg recipe but for teaching me so much more. I have learned technique, chemistry, cool tricks, and obviously awesome recipes! I can't thank you enough. hope you have Happy Holidays!

Case Study: Electronic Paper Just Might Be Print's "Killer App"
No, print is not dead nor will it ever entirely die, but it is taking a beating and the Killer App is lurking. When it hits, we'd better be dealing with the new realities of print without printing. Last month, I related the significant downward pressures on our business. Now here's my vision of the thing that will be most disruptive to our world: electronic paper or a receiver that comes close to emulating it.
"Yeah, but," I hear all the defenders of print saying (and I'm one), "there is still a dependence on the printed page for reading and absorbing content." True. But what if there was an improvement in receivers? What if smart people in garages and laboratories, to paraphrase Bill Gates, develop a reusable receiver that feels and acts like paper?
Already Here
In 2008, Xerox gave folks at NextFest a peek at reusable paper. They imaged paper and then ran it through again, which removed the old image and put a new image in its place. Not perfect, but it was a step. The focus was to reduce the amount of paper used for transient copies that aren't needed forever. Xerox estimated those to be as much as 70% of everything reproduced (printed). Hmm. Okay, that's not going to be the killer app for printing, but many printers don't know that it is even possible.
The Killer App, in my view, would be practical electronic paper. This electronic paper would feel and act similar to paper, but would not be physically imaged. It would receive images wirelessly or through secondary means such as a thumb drive-type device. Want a new car brochure? A PDF is sent to you wirelessly and you display it on your electronic paper. Print it on your printer for archival storage if you wish, but since most things are transient documents, you would more likely clear it and display something else. Of course, you could somehow store the PDF for later viewing again if you wanted.
Now, this concept shouldn't come as a shock to you because companies have been working on this concept for some 40 years—companies like Sony, IBM, Hewlett-Packard, E Ink, Philips, Fujitsu, Hitachi, Siemens, Epson, and others. Xerox worked on a project like that until 2005 when it was shut down, apparently for corporate financial reasons.
Will someone succeed in developing it? I have no inside track, but my view is that a disruptive device similar to electronic paper is probable, and it could come sooner rather than later. Look at how books have been impacted by the Kindle, and where can that go? The Kindle is already the Killer App when it comes to books.
Bear with me a moment. If—and I stress if—someone did perfect electronic paper, what would be the effect on us? I don't know of anyone who thinks it would be positive. Rather, it would continue the negative trend and more printing would begin the decline, along with the business cards, maps, coupons, newsletters, and more that we discussed last month.
Timeline of Doom
So what does our end game look like? I see a world with a lot less printing (duplicates). Those of us who stay in the exact duplicate field will continue to see more commoditization, less work, and more price pressure until we are no longer viable.
How soon? For that estimate, I look to our newspaper cousins. Many industry supporting pontificators say printed newspapers will last another 35 years. Others say they won't last that long. Now, that tells me that even newspaper industry supporters recognize that sometime between today and 35 years from now there will be receiver technology that will knock off printed newspapers. I then infer that by the time that happens, printing (duplicates) will suffer a similar demise.
And here's the logic behind when I think it will happen.
I take the newspaper industry supporters' estimate of 35 years and divide the time into four parts. One fourth or the 25th percentile between tomorrow and 35 years would be 8.75 years, the 50th percentile would be 17.5 years, and the 75th percentile would be 26.25 years.
I assume supporters overstate their position and detractors understate it. So I discount both sides and assume the event will probably occur between the 25th and 75th percentiles. That's between 8.75 years and 26.25 years, or nine to 26 years for rounding purposes. Doesn't mean it can't happen tomorrow and doesn't mean it won't ever happen. Just means that my logic says it is most probable between 2019 and 2036.
What's your bet? Say you're not a gambler? Yes, you are! You've got a small business, so you have to make decisions on capital equipment now, don't you? Okay, then let's bet smarter instead of just saying we don't gamble.
What is your estimate? How much longer do you think printing (duplicates) will pay? Draw a horizontal line and put a zero on the left and 35 on the right. Tick-mark the line a fourth of the way in from each end. Label the left tick mark 2019 (nine years) and the one on the right as 2036 (26 years). Now pick a year (number) when you think the Killer App will arrive.
I pick 2025—15 years from now—but please remember, that is my guess and it is no more valuable than yours. My major point is that you need to accept and actually guess so none of us go on thinking it will always be like it was.
Now, look at your sales categories. How much do you generate from prepress and how much from printing and binding? Imagine what your business will be like with only the prepress function as a source of revenue. Hmm. What do the tarot cards tell you?
What they tell me is that somewhere between today and one of those tomorrows, those of us who are left will have to survive on print without printing. Now, fold up the paper carefully and put it somewhere safe and drag it out in 15 years to see how we did.
Short-Run and Variable Data
What's the future of short-run color and variable data in my world of print without printing? Variable data is a function of software or the prepress side of print without printing, so it will have a useful life in creating originals well beyond my 15 year date.
Short-run anything, on the other hand, is on the printing side and is a transitional technology. So my meaningful plans for it would be no more than my time horizon. In my case, 15 years.
Please don't get me wrong. You can buy a short-run digital do-dad and make tons of money on it between now and when you don't need it anymore. In fact, there are a few shops that are still making a living doing letterpress printing today. Just realize that we are approaching the end game and we shouldn't over drive our headlights in equipment purchases.
A more recent example will help clarify where we find ourselves. DVDs were developed in 1995. They supplanted the previous VHS formats originally developed in 1976, but not before VHS supplanted Betamax (mainly because you could record a full football game or whatever on VHS versus the shorter Betamax) in the 1980s. By 2008, the last pre-recorded (i.e.: movie on tape) VHS was shipped.
Today, at least one manufacturer of VHS equipment survives. So it is possible for a printer with an AB Dick 360 to survive on creating exact duplicates, but the market will shrink significantly.
An alternative to sticking with VHS strategy (exact duplicates) is for printers to jump from DVDs to MP3s. We go from distributing physical duplicates on a disk (DVDs) to making duplicates out of thin air (MP3s). We focus on print without printing.
How do we make money doing that? What will we actually be doing? If we can see that future, then we can prepare for it and perhaps be like Carl the Fish and survive during this evolution instead of dying to make room for the next guy. So, my view on today's print shop tomorrow will be here next month. Hope you are still with me.

Last year I came into possession of a box of fan mail to Robert Wagner sent in 1957. It contained envelopes from all around the world, comprising about 150 envelopes with letters, about 250 envelopes only and about 30 envelopes with letters that had never been opened.
I decided to make my 2014 Valentines "Letters to Robert Wagner."
Each envelope seemed to be its own piece of art. The handwriting, the placement and layout of address, stamp and cancellation stamp varied widely from envelope to envelope. To this I added my own stamp that said "Timeless Love" – sometimes to the front of the envelope and sometimes to the back, depending on how it would interact or interfere with the original design. And then I sent them back around the world for Valentine's Day. The majority of them came from Argentina, but there were occasions I could send some back to their country of origin.
Those with letters were sometimes just a simple request for a photo and sometimes more.
The letters came in all shapes and sizes, all different kinds of papers, including the above which was a simple piece of paper, typed on 2 sides, folded and sealed with the stamp on the back.
Having sent fan mail myself when I was a teenager, I completely empathize with these fans' expectations of a personal response.
The front of this letter is all business; the back tells the truth.
Most of the letters seem to have been opened with a slicer, which also sometimes sliced the letter in half.
The above letter was sent from Berlin, addressed simply to "Mister Robert Wagner, Centfox/Hollywood." Despite being redirected from MGM, it got to him (his staff).
Even the typewritten letters have an incredible amount of personality.
The letters that were unopened were especially fascinating. I sent them with a note saying that they had never been opened and leaving it to the recipient to decide whether to open it or not.
There were two letters from Norway, from different people that had exactly the same text. Because they both mentioned the Norwegian weekly magazine, I wondered if the magazine had written a letter in English for people to copy and send.
Then I discovered 5 other letters (not shown here), again from Norway, again with all the same text (but different from the above). Could the 5 people all have known each other and written their letters together? A bit of a mystery. I sent all 5 letters to the same place: Pentagram in New York.
I struggled at first with the fact that some of my valentine recipients would receive envelopes with letters, and some would only receive empty envelopes. But I found the envelopes so beautiful and their emptiness made them equally poignant. What did they contain? How much love did they reveal?
Below is one of my favourites, sent from France and including a coupon for return postage.
I wonder about the people who wrote these letters. If they're still alive, do they still care about Robert Wagner? Given that I still have a weak spot for the actors I once loved, my guess is yes.
n.b. Robert Wagner's birthday is Feb. 10.
Richard Turley was the designer for the cover of American Illustration 32, and for it, he asked 45 artists to create a piece of art directly on the blank covers of 288 books. Some of those artists were together, filmed over a weekend in a marathon of painting, etc. I was alone in my studio on my island with just one book. I have a giant graphite stick that I've been wanting to use and decided this was the time to do something less obsessive than my usual work.
My instructions said it was supposed to be on the theme of "the body":
Here are some details:
You can see some of the other covers on Creative Review's blog.
Brandona Kavulla at Fortune Magazine hired me to create a complete set of capital letters and the numbers 0–9 in the style of money for display elements in the magazine. I created two versions of each letter: a "clean" one, and one with some spirograph attached to it:
While the characters are of the same style, they all have different ornament styles for serifs and inside the stems.
Here's a large "M":
And here's the full numismatical set, minus the spirograph:
The first issue came out in January with a redesign by Brandon Kavulla using the new Money Alphabet in key positions.
Of particular beauty is his design for title pages in the tablet edition:
And more from the magazine:
The theme for this issue of Varoom was an easy one for me: Obsession. All I had to do was make something obsessive. A trip to a super-fun filled Japanese dollar store resulted in an obsessive shopping spree of stickers. A sheet of 22 x 30 inch watercolour paper and many hours later ...
Some details ...
I was invited by the lovely Pamela Williams to create a set of MOO cards on their triple-thick stock, as other designers such as Sagmeister & Walsh and Adams Morioka had done before me. I agreed, but didn't really understand the project, and it wasn't until well into it that I realized it was to be like a business card template with 50 different designs on the back for the hoi polloi to customize for their own selves/businesses. I wasn't nuts about that idea, and personally I think business cards are dead ... but I do myself often need a temporary card: something to write selective or temporary information on.
For instance, when I'm travelling I sometimes have a local cel number, or a hotel number, or a room number. I also have 3 different email addresses for business, friends or - essentially "junk". I might want to give a book or movie recommendation or take a restaurant recommendation from someone ... anything that would otherwise be written on a scrap of paper or in the margins or bak of someone else's business card, this is what I need. And I think this is what many people need.
So I designed this front for the front of the cards, for writing information:
And then for the back, having just struggled with lighting conditions for my Poptech Sparks, I wanted to make something that worked with different lighting conditions, and proceeded to make what I called little "stage sets" of cards to be lit and shot different ways. Ergo, 50 different card backs, thus:
And here are a few, close up:
All proceeds went to the campain "Because I am A Girl" from Plan International. The card set may or may not still be available from MOO, here.
Another Bluedot chair for another charity auction, this time for the AIGA. I decided to make a match for my previous chair, again with a movie description for the text. The second in this potential series.
Andrew Zolli at PopTech asked me to create an identity for the 2013 edition of the PopTech conference, themed "Sparks of Brilliance". Poptech is a great conference that takes place every year in Camden, Maine. I spoke there a few years ago, and it is really a fun, intimate yet broad conference, so I was thrilled to do this project.
After some trial and error, I came up with these eclectic sparks.
Below are the designs for the name badges. (They fold in half, so the bottom is upright on the back.)
Different people would have different sparks on their badges.
Below is the main identity, for banners etc and on the web. (Typeface is Henrik Kubel's Outsiders.)
Certain sparks were designed to have the PopTech circle in the middle.
But not always the same ...
I was also supposed to speak at PopTech and was greatly looking forward to seeing all the signs, banners, badges, windows etc. festooned with the sparks. Unfortunately I got deathly ill and was unable to go, to my eternal regret.
Each year at the Congress of Alliance Graphique Internationale (AGI), members are asked to make something for a special project. In 2013, the congress was in London, and the special project was to create graphics (in black) for a teacup and saucer.
I decided to make an incongruous cup. A senseless -– yes, possibly even surreal – cup. First I drew a rim of stones for the sides of the cup.
And the, for the saucer, a rim of hair and, when the cup is lifted - a drain. Why? For no reason whatsoever.
Here's a detail of the stones:
And here's the cup and saucer:
This pattern was based on the pattern I did for the G2 Puzzle Special, but it has been deconstructed and resurrected in 8 colourways for upholstery fabric by Maharam.
I recommend viewing them (or buying!) on Maharam's site, where they show what they look like on furniture.
This design for Maharam fabrics is based on the cipher I designed for part of my book, I Wonder. As a cipher, it says something. It's a letter to a friend, and I liked the idea of people unknowingly sitting on a secret communication. I think it would be very, very difficult to decode this message.
It comes in seven colours very similar to my otherfabric Centric, but these are my favourite three:
Available from Maharam.
This is an interesting project. And an odd one. I, along with 5 other designers/studios was approached by Adobe to "hack" an Eames chair, while being filmed in a 48-hour time limit, to promote their creative cloud suite of tools. I told them I wasn't using CC yet, and that if I did this, I couldn't imagine doing it digitally, using Adobe software, but that I would do something by hand. They were fine with both of those things, so I agreed. A few weeks later, a videographer, Rory, and his assistant Dabne arrived at my door with this chair (in a box).
It was so beautiful, as you can see, that I was lothe to do anything at all to it. I had a couple of ideas, one of which was drilling holes in it (which I'm glad I rejected, because that's what someone else did), but the one I settled on was to cover it in strips of wood veneer that I had kicking around. I was really nervous because I had no idea if it was going to work.
It was super fun having Rory and Dabne around, and they followed me to the store to buy the right kind of glue, and they took lots of shots of my house and my dog.
I chose a contact cement which worked really well for gluing wood to plastic but it was basically a one shot deal - once it was glued it was glued, there was no going back.
I used tracing paper right on the chair to figure out the curved shapes.
As the chair progressed I realized I liked the combinaton of plastic and wood and decided not to cover it completely. Plus, I was running out of time.
On the 2nd day an editor showed up and she would start processing the footage after Rory shot them. They were on a crazy tight deadline as well. I was working from a Friday at noon to a Sunday noon, and they had to get a cut in to Adobe on the Monday.
On Saturday night I was finished most of the veneer but had to fill the cracks and sand it, which made a terrible mess and had me really worried.
It cleaned up fine for the final shots on Sunday, although technically it's not finished as it needs a couple of coats of varnish. What I really like was how an unintentional Tiki figure came out. So I call this the Tiki Chair.
So that was 3 people hired on a super tight schedule to fly up from San Francisco to do the filming over 48 hours; they got hours worth of footage which was supposed to be edited down to about 5 minutes. But in the end Adobe put all 6 designers together in one mashup video of 2.5 minutes. It can be seen on YouTube, here.
And I got a great chair!
I had a show of work at the Chicago Design Museum (ChiDM) in June, and Tanner Woodford, who runs the museum, asked me if I wanted to do an installation piece with some flowers (they had a flower store connection willing to donate flowers). So I said sure!
I didn't put any advance thought into it because I wasn't sure what kind of flowers I was going to get, but the day before he opening of the show, I was taken to the flower store and picked out some things that looks like they'd hold up reasonably well, and some others that wouldn't (like roses). had been thinking fo just doing a pattern, but thinking about how the piece would be on display for a few weeks and would, of course die, I decided to make the word "Sorrow".
I arrived at the space at 2pm and just started laying things out. I was basically making it up as I went along.
I had brought a good camera with me, but no tripod, and the light went really quickly. I didn't have much time for photos, so the photos I took were pretty bad.
I finished at around 9 or 9:30 pm. So I worked for 7 hours straight. The opening party started at 5 or 6, so I was still making with people coming around to watch.
Above was just after it was finished. Tanner sent me the shot below, after a few weeks. When he took it down, he put the dried petals and leaves into jars and sent one to me and some to other people as well, which was nice.
For the theme "experiment" I had this idea to create a pseudo-scientific, faux-electronic, erzast-frankenstein kind of setup, with a bunch of stuff I had lying around. I got partway through the project, with no planned end in sight when I looked at my desk and the experimental materials on it and realized - that's it!
The final delivery was a collection of some of these images.
I had it in my head I wanted to make a heart of gold. But then I decided I wanted to do something different with foil - which is usually so static - an give it motion. An active heart, a spinning heart.
Here's the die for the foil:
To me, a muse is an elusive thing. One is lucky to have one, and finding one is difficult, sometimes with false stops along the way. I envisioned the way to finding the muse as a maze, where sometimes you find small spots of enlightenment, but it's not until you find your way to a true muse that your world and creativity opens up into full freedom and colour.
Todd Falkowsky asked me to create a surface design for a Blu Dot chair as part of a charity auction. I decided to start a new series for this, with the text of movie descriptions.
This double-page illustration was for the "taste" issue of Varoom. For it, I imagined a menu of unusual things.
I was asked to take part in a project creating carpets to be made by a fair-trade company in Nepal. For some reason I got it into my head that I wanted a sentient carpet - it says "I, carpet": what does it feel when you walk on it? I built the structure of the carpet around these words, and designed patterns of mice, birds, cats & dogs for the spaces formed by the structure.
Then I discovered they didn't want words in the carpets.So, despite a lovely test done, this was never made. Maybe one day.
A two-page spread on the topic of "Entertainment." I created a custom circular type for this.
When I was asked to speak at AGIdeas in Australia, I was also asked to design a special give-away piece for the printers Gunn & Taylor. I designed a notebook with a geometric pattern for an embossed cover, with bits of gold, silver, red and blue foil placed in some of the shapes.
Inside, instead of using lines or a regular grid, I printed different shape-grids on each of the pages, curious as to how it would affect that way people take notes, draw, or think.
Michael Salu, the Art Director for Granta Publications in the UK hired me to do this cover for Chris Adrian's Gob's Grief. It's the fourth of my covers for Chris Adrian, a companion to A Better Angel, The Great Night, and The Children's Hospital.
I was asked to choose a number between 1 and 65 to illustrate for a book celebrating the TDC's 65th year. I chose the number 11.
Michael Salu, the Art Director for Granta Publications in the UK hired me to do this cover for Chris Adrian's The Children's Hospital. It's a companion piece for Adrian's A Better Angel and The Great Night.
Because I travel a lot, I decided to use old postcards for my Valentines this year. I sent about 480, and the cards range over about 90 years: from 1901 to the late '80s, I think. They are from all over the world and they went all over the world. About 100 of them had writing on the back and had been posted before.
Then, they're all overprinted in silver with my image, which says "From me wherever I am / To you wherever you are."
This is my most recent piece for Varoom Magazine, on the topic of localism. It's a bit post-apocalyptic.
It says:
Maybe one day we will all be local
in our small communities structured for survival
we will hew things out of wood
and farm our plots of land for seasonal food.
Our neighbours will be potters, metal smiths,
bakers, weavers and stonemasons.
We'll have a primitive doctor
and a sadistic dentist.
The weather will be our enemy and our saviour,
gracing us with water
or withholding it for too long.
We will be surrounded by the warmth of animals
using them for everything they have to
give us while strugglingto keep them alive.
We'll know each other well and gather
under summer stars and around winter fires
to tell stories of the past.
We'll assist in births and deaths.
We'll worry mostly about food.
We'll draw pictures of each other on skins
and in stone and wood.
Now and then a stranger will come.
Sometime this summer Hemlock Printers contacted me to design their annual set of wrapping paper. I agreed provided they give me carte blanche over the design and they decided to trust me. I wanted to create something that was festive, but completely non-denominational, and not even "Seasonal". So no snowflakes, or Santa, or bells etc., and no red, green or gold. So I decided on a very bright yellow as my dominant colour, with silver.
I had a number of ideas for the theme of each wrapping paper, but I decided on doing something with kittens, trucks and big machinery, cake decorations, and flames. I figured that would cover a wide range of tastes and sensibilities.
They have a standard die of the container/box it comes in, and I designed that too. In the spirit of a surprise gift, there's very little indication on the outside of what's inside. It's very simple, plain white with four symbols on the front.
When you open it up, yellow, silver and black flames come from the sides, while the top and bottom flaps have perforated tags: again something to suit everyone.
Open it further and the whole thing is on fire on the inside, revealing the first of the wrapping paper sheets.
The box contains 2 sheets each of all four wrapping designs:
I've made a separate post for each of the designs so you can see them in more detail here:
"Cake Decorations"
"Big Machinery"
Hemlock sent about 2700 of these out to their friends and clients across North America. If you're on their mailing list, I hope you enjoyed this year's wrapping papers. I had a lot of fun making them. Oh, and the good folks at Hemlock tell me they've received an overwhelming positive response!
This is the first of the wrapping papers I did for Hemlock Printers in Vancouver. It might be my favourite. I certainly had fun making it (beginning with ordering a mass of exciting cake decorations). As usual, the cake decorations are not photoshopped, nor are they glued: I placed them in place, shot them and moved on to the next.
Printed in CMYK with a flourescent yellow background with spot varnish.

This is the second of the wrapping papers I did for Hemlock Printers in Vancouver. It's a toss-up whether this or "Cake Decorations" is my favourite. It's called "Fire", and it's printed in CMYK and flourescent yellow.

Los Angeles: J.P. Getty's Lasting Legacy
Trip Start
Trip End
Where I stayed
What you'll rarely hear about is the good the elite wealthy often manifest. Probably the finest example of this is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, funded by the Microsoft gazillionaire and his wife. The Gates' have chosen to spent the surplus of their fortune for the benefit of mankind in areas they're passionate about. They do so by funding thoughtfully chosen projects, like their fight against malaria in the Third World or bringing computers and software to under-served regions. There is little doubt in my mind that the business savvy Gates' use their fortune more wisely and efficiently, and to the benefit of far more people, than if they handed their cash to (or had it confiscated by) government.
Another wonderful example of a legacy bequeathed to American society is that of J.P. Getty, one of the world's first billionaires who, like Bill Gates, was the richest man in the world during his time. Getty, an unpleasant but highly successful businessman, was a passionate collector of antiquities and art. It became the center of his interest. His view towards his hobby is summarized by his quote, "The beauty one can find in art is one of the pitifully few real and lasting products of human endeavor."
Getty enjoyed the beauty of art and wanted others to share his passion. His personal collection formed the basis of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles. His estate left $661 million to the Getty Trust in 1976 and that money has been wisely invested, used to buy numerous additional pieces of art and to create places for its presentation. The work has expanded to include education and art preservation. The trust is still very well funded, even after these massive expenditures, and it looks like its work can continue for decades to come.
The Getty Museum currently is housed in two branches both in Los Angeles' Westside, one in Malibu and the other in Brentwood. The first constructed was the Getty Villa in Malibu. Its architecture was inspired by a rural Italian villa which was destroyed by an eruption of Mt. Vesuvius before the birth of Christ. The Getty Villa is situated just above the Pacific Ocean and is an elegant building on magnificent grounds, with Romanesque gardens. J.P. Getty was actively involved in the planning and construction of the Villa but did not live to enjoy its completion. The Villa features the main antiquities portion of Getty's collection including Greek, Roman and Etruscan relics.
The gem of Getty's legacy is the Getty Center, opened in 1997 and situated in the Santa Monica Mountains in West Los Angeles, a truly magnificent structure in a most memorable setting. The property has beautiful gardens and grounds and wonderful architecture, the product of Richard Meier's imagination. With views of all of West L.A., UCLA campus, Century City and the Pacific Ocean, it's hard to imagine a grander property or locale for an art museum.The center is built of travertine marble (over a million square feet of it) which brilliantly captures the Southern California sunlight. The Getty Center houses the more modern works of the Getty Collection ranging from furniture to sculpture to paintings by Renaissance masters (eg. Rembrandt and Rubens) to modern masterpieces (eg. Van Gogh).
Admission to both properties is free. You need to pay for parking at both facilities and the Getty Villa requires a reservation for parking. You'll want to spend at least a full half day at each of these locations. You could cram visiting both into one long day but I think you'd be "museumed out" and miss a lot. Better to split the visits onto separate days so that you can enjoy the fine buildings, beautiful landscaping and wonderful collections..
So this is part of the legacy of the One Percent. I wonder in fifty years what the legacy of the Occupy Wall Street crowd will be?

How Debt Collection Agencies Profit From You
Most collection agencies operate on a contingency basis, which means that they do not get paid by their client unless and until they collect from the consumer. If and when the agency receives monies from a consumer, the agency then gives their client a pre-determined percentage of the monies recovered. The remainder belongs to the agency.
Oftentimes, debt collection agencies buy these debts for just pennies on the dollar. The debt collector is free to seek as much money from the consumer as they can regardless of what they paid to buy the debt. This amounts to large profit margins for them.
Typically, employees of debt collection agencies are motivated with performance-based bonuses determined by the amount of money they are able to collect from a consumer.
Regardless of what specific methods a debt collection agency uses in their attempts to collect a debt, it is clear that the agency is in the business of making money first and foremost. And that money comes from you – the consumer. Hopefully, you now have a better understanding as to why collection agencies use such aggressive behavior in their interaction with consumers.
Consumers around the globe have long complained about the unfair and often unethical tactics used by debt collection agencies and thus, the FDCPA - a federal law meant for the protection of consumers. It encompasses a set of rules governing the activities of collection agencies.
Know Your Rights
The FDCPA was placed into practice in 1978, the FDCPA or the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act is a federal law designed to protect the rights of the consumer from abusive and unfair debt collecting practices. The law regulates what collection agencies can or cannot do when collecting a personal debt from a consumer. It defines strict guidelines under which collection agencies must abide by when conducting business including who the collection agency may contact, where they may call, and how often or what times, In addition The Fair Credit Reporting Act, also known as the FCRA, was placed into effect in 1970. This federal law enforces and regulates the collection, distribution, and usage of consumer information. The law ensures that companies and businesses report accurate information about their consumers to Credit Bureaus which can be used for credit evaluation and certain other purposes such as employment. Consumers are violated on a daily basis without them even being aware that they have been violated or what they're rights are. Our legal team at Fredrick Schulman and Associates are fully versed in the FDCPA and FCRA and are committed to keeping debt collectors inline and holding debt collectors accountable for any violations made against you the consumers, rights.
CBHV has had multiple lawsuits filed against them for "profane and threatening language and a barrage of harassing phone calls". The Better Business Bureau has 29 complaints closed against CBHV in the past three years, six of them being closed in the past 12 months. Although the BBB does not provide access to details of those complaints most of them were in regards to billing and collection issues while some were for problems with products and service provided by CBHV.

Nice, thanks Marek!
Phoronix: R300 Gallium3D HyperZ Is Finally In Good Shape
Marek Olák has fixed up the HyperZ support within the R300 Gallium3D driver so that it's working properly for more applications. R300 HyperZ is finally in a state where he may be looking to enable the feature by default...
Nice, thanks Marek!
Well done Marek, it's time to catch up with R600g
Marek Olák AKA The Boss.
Awesome work Marek. I only feel it is a shame I have no R300g compatible hardware to play with.
Hope this provides some insight into R600g as well.
Thank you Marek for your wonderful work! Hyper-z is a much needed feature for Linux gaming, we need every frame we can get.
it's time to catch up with R600g
Great news indeed. I updated my PPA with these changes. I can confirm that the sauerbraten problem I was having on my RV530 are completely fixed now.
Next year we should nominate Marek for the FSF awards!
Thanks Marek! Waiting for r600g/radeonsi
Thank you, Marek. Look forward to r600g.
