A chance of meatballs Tips for building a better meatball at home A chance of meatballs Tips for building a better meatball at home
Butcher scraps become great meatballs Liver and beef meatballs fit for Passover

Ask the experts how to build a better meatball, and the answers generally are a pretty underwhelming, "It depends."
It's more than a case of chefs adding their personal touch to recipes. It also depends largely on which culture - for many across the globe serve some sort of meatball - they draw their inspiration from.
The meat? Anything from turkey to tofu. The binder? Pureed rice, breadcrumbs, cheese, pulpy potatoes, an egg or two, and cream all can do the trick. Cooking? Fry, bake, braise. Maybe, a combination.
"It's all about personal taste," said Koren Grieveson of Avec restaurant in Chicago. "There is no secret science."
That's good news, because if there's no right way to do it, it's probably harder to mess up.
Still, we were confident there must be ways to improve meatballs, regardless of variety. These are the tips we gathered from the pros.
Ask the butcher for scraps
Meatballs are not the vehicle for expensive tenderloin and sirloin. Meatballs were created as a way of using scraps, so start there, says Daniel Holzman, chef and owner of The Meatball Shop in New York. Diverse cuts of meat add depth of flavor.
"We use a lot of prosciutto scraps," said Liza Shaw, executive chef and owner of A16 restaurant in San Francisco. "There comes a point when you can no longer slice a leg of prosciutto."
So get to know the butcher. They have stuff they don't sell, from unusable shavings of meat to throwaway ends of ham. Grind it all in a blender or food processor, then add it to your meatball mix.
Sausage meat
A quick way to skip the hassle of mixing meat is to take links of your favorite sausage and cut away the casing, Grieveson said. Mix the meat with breadcrumbs, spices, etc. "Most sausages already have the required amount of fat," she said.
Fat doesn't have to come from meat
There is plenty of debate on what the right fat content of a meatball should be, though most people put it in the 20 to 40 percent range. But that doesn't mean the fat must only come from the ground meat, says former Top Chef Masters candidate Tim Love of Fort Worth, Texas.
If the meat is the flavor, the fat is what protects that flavor, stroking each ground morsel with moistness while it cooks, he said.
Butter, cream or cheese are all good additions. Harder and stringier cheeses - including cheddar, mozzarella and Parmesan - are good bets. A soft goat cheese will likely cause the meatball to fall apart.
Liquid also is important
Add water, says Joey Campanaro of Little Owl restaurant in New York. "The mixture should be wetter than you imagined," he said. "That keeps the meatballs moist. When you think about it, it's the very same concept as soup dumplings. It emulsifies the fat as you fry it. The meatballs stay moist. Without the water, the fat is going to go right into the sauce. You are going to have a greasy sauce and a dry meatball."
Save old bread
"If you liked it when it was fresh, you are going to like it a day later or when it is frozen," Shaw said.
Toast the moisture out of the bread without burning it, then run it through a food processor or crush by hand. When combined with liquid, bread serves as a binder for the meatball. It also helps to retain moisture.
Use a light hand when mixing
Anytime you make something with bread, there is a fear of over mixing, Shaw said. "Mix it just enough but not too much," she says. "If you knead it too much you are going to get a tough texture." To be safe Shaw recommends mixing the wet ingredients and meat mixture separately, then combining the two.
Size matters
The larger the meatball, the more the more work it takes keeping it together, Campanaro says. The outside also can overcook before the inside is done. About 1 1/2 inches - or the size of a golf ball - is a good size, he says. This also prevents them from falling apart while being eaten.
Always make a tester
"You always have to make a tester meatball," Holzman says. "Making meatballs is like baking. What you get at the end you can't really change." Before making them all, cook one and taste it. If it falls apart, add more of a binder. If it's too dense, add more liquid. This is also where you can adjust the seasoning, he says. "If it needs more salt, don't be afraid to put more in."
Moisture depends on cooking method
If you are roasting or frying meatballs, you would want a wetter meatball to keep the moisture from being sucked out, as the heat extracts liquid, Shaw said. If you are braising the meatball in red sauce, use less liquid. Cooking in the sauce will continue to baste the meatball, keeping it moist and from falling apart. If braising a meatball, taste it every 30 minutes. If it's tough, don't fret, Shaw says, braising it longer will fix the problem.
Time adds flavor
Letting a braise sit overnight allows the meat to take on more flavor, Shaw says. "Everything that is braised benefits from a day to sit. It sits in the fridge and the next day, it is intensified."

These meatballs were originally created as a Monday special by the chefs at A16 restaurant in San Francisco as a way to use up scraps leftover from butchering whole animals. They pay deference to the rustic cooking of southern Italy, but have taken on a life of their own. At dinner, the restaurant limits serving them on Mondays despite demand. But they are a regular on the lunch menu and among the most popular dishes at A16's sister spot in Tokyo.
10 ounces boneless pork shoulder, cut into 1-inch cubes and ground in a meat grinder or finely chopped in a food processor
10 ounces beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes and ground in a meat grinder or finely chopped in a food processor
6 ounces day-old country bread, torn into chunks and ground in a meat grinder or finely chopped in a food processor
2 ounces pork fat, cut into 1-inch cubes and ground in a meat grinder or chilled in a freezer for 15 minutes then finely chopped in a food processor
2 ounces prosciutto, chopped and ground in a meat grinder or chilled in a freezer for 15 minutes then finely chopped in a food processor
1 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 1/2 teaspoons fennel seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3/4 cup fresh ricotta, drained if necessary
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup whole milk
28-ounce can San Marzano tomatoes, with juices
Handful of fresh basil leaves
Parmesan cheese, for grating
Extra-virgin olive oil, for finishing
Heat the oven to 450<0x02DA> F. Coat two rimmed baking sheets with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine the pork, beef, bread, pork fat, prosciutto, parsley, 1 teaspoon of the salt, oregano, fennel seeds and red pepper flakes. Use your hands to mix just until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the ricotta, eggs and milk just enough to break up any large curds of ricotta.
Add the ricotta mixture to the ground meat mixture and mix lightly with your hands just until incorporated. The mixture should feel wet and tacky.
Pinch off a small nugget of the mixture, flatten it into a disk, and cook it in a small saute pan. Taste it and adjust the seasoning of the mixture with salt if needed.
Form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet. You should have about 30 meatballs.
Bake, rotating the sheets once from the front to the back, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the meatballs are browned. Remove from the oven and lower the oven temperature to 300<0x02DA> F.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt, and then pass the tomatoes and their juices through a food mill fitted with the medium plate. Alternatively, put the entire can of tomatoes in a large bowl and then squeeze them into small pieces with your hands.
Pack the meatballs into 1 large roasting pan or 2 smaller roasting pans. Pour the tomato sauce over the meatballs, cover tightly with foil, then braise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until the meatballs are tender and have absorbed some of the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle the meatballs with the basil. To serve, ladle meatballs with some of the sauce into a bowl. Grate Parmesan over the top, then drizzle with olive oil to finish.

Daniel Holzman, chef at The Meatball Shop in New York, pays homage to his mother with these no-nonsense Jewish meatballs from his childhood. He prefers Heinz ketchup because he likes the flavor and it's "the way my mother used to make it."
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup ketchup
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 1/4 pounds ground chuck
3 sheets matzo, broken into crumbs
1/4 pound chicken livers, chopped
2 eggs
Heat the oven to 400<0x02DA> F. Use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat a rimmed baking sheet.
In a large saucepan over high, heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion and saute until soft. Add the salt, ketchup and parsley and cook for 3 minutes.
Transfer the onion mixture to a large bowl and set aside to cool. Once cool, add all remaining ingredients. Mix well by hand.
Form the mixture into golf ball-size meatballs. Roast for 20 minutes.

28 year old woman | Denver, CO, USA | Seeking men 27-40 within 200 miles
Active within 3 days
Eat. Pray. Love. :) emails are welcome
I am originally from Manhattan,NY and moved to this great state in '09. I have met some great friends here and hopefully will make it my home. I am well-traveled due to my father being military, so it has been quite refreshing buliding a rock-soild foundation here financially and socially in CO. Now, I guess it is the time to talk about myself: well, I cannot list off things such as climbing mountains, skiing/snow boarding, marathon runner, water skiing and many othe risky activities that are popular to CO (sorry). Honestly, I enjoy a more laid-back type of life that involves a more cerebral simulating activites such as the theatre, museums, painting, dancing (salsa, hip-hop, line-dancing you name it) and live music. Most of all GRILLING/event cooking in the warmer months with about 5-10 close friends, brewing, playing card games *CARDS AGAINST HUMANITY one of my favorites*, corn-hole and yes...even beer pong . I enjoy being around people so very much, as I am chosing a duel career in nursing and speech pathology. However, I'm not completely mundane, I am currently playing softball and possibly soccer again this summer. I am physically in shape with 4 days a week attendance of the gym and chosing a pretty regimented diet of boarderline paleo. Looking at my photos, you can see that I enjoy a western style and " lifestyle". A cowgirl with a twist of town boy, yet can wear 6 inch stilettos that would make Heidi Klum cry ;-) There is no football game too boring, no hockey game too violent and no rugby game that I can't personally handle * yes.. I played* I don't mind getting my hands dirty and feet wet from time to time... I'm seeking a man that is open and most importantly, honest. Someone that can be primarily my friend first, secondary to my physical companion. What I mean by that is, it's very easy to physically connect with someone; that can take only a half hour (or a FEW hours for those rare yet wonderful men... ;-) but to chose to invest in someone and make them a part of your life takes commitment and grit. Honestly online dating is difficult in its self. Trusting and taking someone at face value is brave which is why the first two attributes is key. I empathize, however major past issues that bleeds into our possible future relationship, I do not wish to become a part of. Time is valuable, I don't wish to waste anyone's, please respect that in kind. I'm pretty old-fashioned whereas a simple 5-10 conversation out-weights a 3 hour text fest. TALK TO ME, because I lose interest quickly with a more passive form of communicating. I'm just too busy to entertain that, so if your looking for a pen pal, again do not message me. Dating should entail venturing out/wooing someone to attempt to find someone that interests you. I can be selective and looking for the best person to share my life with, compliment each other and we grow into an impressive force. I'm pretty assertive and feel the need to voice my concerns so that I can connect with the right person on match. I am very warm and giving and with that, comes vulnerability. There is a slight thicker skin about me, but underneath that is a playful, loving, charming and skilled women. Wish to know more? contact me

Weesp Band
User Stats
Profile Images
User Bio
Weesp - alternative rock /electronic band from Minsk, Belarus.
The band was formed in 2008 when Lex (vocals), Mike (guitar) and Mi (bass) started playing music together in high school. The band has been growing rapidly since then, improving their skills and confidence. Having recorded the second EP («Taste of Steel») in 2009, the band has finally announced its name – mysterious «WEESP».
By the beginning of work on the next EP – «This will destroy us», two more band members – Gul (drums) and Mi's twin brother Stak (electronics) joined the team, to finalize the current structure of WEESP.
By that time, Weesp have developed their own unique style, mixing hard, yet fluted modes with modern trends in electronic music and expressive vocal tunes.
Weesp have already performed at numerous concerts and festivals, including those in Baltic countries and all over CIS. The band has recorded three EPs and released two singles, all of which were a great success. Not only is Weesp famous for the high quality of records for a DIY-band, but also for the outstanding show they do at the concerts. A number of articles in related magazines emphasize on the drive and energy the band are spreading over the crowd when performing.
In the beginning of 2012, Weesp released their first official video "Livan" and currently, the band's singles are actively rotated in numerous European and US-based radio stations.
In March 2013 band released an acoustic single "Caves Unplugged" and made promo video for it. After 2 months, experimental lyric video for the track "Our Own Gale" was published. And another month later, in the middle of June, the musicians presented a full video for the track "Sub" from the album "This Will Destroy Us".
The team is hardly working on the new long play album now and plan to release it in 2014.The group consists of:
Alexey "Lex" Falco - vocals, keyboards (piano);
Michael "Mike" Zalutskiy - guitar;
Dmitry "Mi" Bud'ko - bass guitar;
Stanislav "Stak" Bud'ko – electronics;
Alexei "Gul" Galesnik - drums.

Capacity Building
2015 Arts Learning Community – ADA Inclusion
What does it mean for an arts organization to include people with disabilities in its programming? The interest in this topic has grown exponentially over the past five years among members of the arts community. And while organizations have been working to develop better accommodations, they still face obstacles to making improvements and questions about the what, why and how of getting things done.
To better support the efforts already under way, the City of Raleigh Arts Commission and the United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County have collaborated to launch a new capacity-building program – a yearlong arts learning community around the topic of ADA inclusion that will run Summer 2015 through June 2016. Seven arts organizations will be selected to participate in this pilot project.
Learning communities are becoming fairly common at the national level, but up until now they have not been widely available in Wake County. Through this pilot program, the Raleigh Arts Commission and United Arts Council of Raleigh and Wake County will gauge the benefit this type of support provides the local arts community and whether it should continue to be offered for other topics.
Organizations interested in participating in this new project must submit a completed application to the Office of Raleigh Arts by Friday, April 24, 2015 at 4pm.
For complete information about the Arts Learning Community for ADA Inclusion, please download the Guidelines and Application Form.

Nite Ize
Nite Ize SlapLit LED
The Nite Ize SnapLit is a clever, flexible nylon strip featuring LEDs and malleable spine, allowing it to morph effortlessly between brace/anklet and bag-tag.
Two modes are arguably all you'll need thanks to the large surface area and, measuring 34cm long by 4cm wide, it seems a universal fit around most wrists/ankles and calves. Ours has largely served its time snaked around the Univega's beefy cromo rack, emitting a warm beacon through the grey gloom before dusk demands the full 'Christmas Tree on Acid' ensemble.
Nite Ize Twist Lit front/rear LED light
If you're familiar with Cateye's excellent Loop Light then these lights from Nite Ize will look pretty familiar. Nite Ize make the Loop light for Cateye, and this is their version, which is a bit different and just as good.

The beds are very soft and worn, but some may like this. No lockers, wifi down at the bar/restaurant, breakfast is the typical bread item and coffee or tea. Would stay here again. "

Tale of the Tape: March 14
The Chicago Wolves earned an overtime win Wednesday against the Utica Comets and will face the same team tonight to close out the season series. The Wolves are 2-0-0-0 against the Comets all-time in Rosemont and have outscored them 6-3 in those two tilts. But Chicago has not strung together more than two wins in a row at home this year, a streak currently matched thanks to wins Wednesday (UTI) and March 1 (MIL).
Tale of the Tape: March 11
The Utica Comets shoot into Rosemont for the first time this season and just the second time since joining the league in 2013-14 for tilts on Wednesday and Saturday. The roster features six former Wolves: Alex Friesen, Nicklas Jensen, Darren Archibald, Alexandre Grenier, John Negrin, and Peter Andersson.
Tale of the Tape: March 8
With 20 games to play, the Wolves are part of a five-team clump battling for the final two playoff spots in the Western Conference.
Tale of the Tape: March 6
The Chicago Wolves head to Cleveland this weekend for a pair against Midwest Division foe Lake Erie. The Wolves will try to keep up the momentum from a 4-1 win over Milwaukee on Sunday while the Monsters look to reverse their current fortunes (0-4-1-0 in last five) and rebound from their 3-0 loss to the Admirals on Wednesday.
Tale of the Tape: March 1
The Wolves opened their season-long, seven-game homestand with a 3-2 overtime victory over Milwaukee on Feb. 11 and they close it 18 days later with another visit from the Admirals.
Tale of the Tape: Feb. 28
After wrapping up the season series with San Antonio last week, the Chicago Wolves will complete another tonight as they close out their eight-game slate against Grand Rapids. The Wolves have earned nine of a possible 14 points thus far while the Griffins have captured seven.
Tale of the Tape: Feb. 22
By claiming the extra point last night, the Wolves jumped from ninth to eighth place in the Western Conference with 60 points while the Rampage stayed in sixth with 63 points.
Tale of the Tape: Feb. 21
After a defeat at the hands of the Grand Rapids Griffins on Sunday, the Chicago Wolves will look to use five days of rest to their advantage as they host the San Antonio Rampage tonight in the first game of a weekend doubleheader.
Tale of the Tape: Feb. 15
Chicago enters today's game against Grand Rapids with the same number of points (58) as the Griffins, but the visitors hold one game in hand and own the league's biggest offensive force in Teemu Pulkkinen. He leads the AHL with 29 goals in 43 games, which is 7 goals more than the No. 2 guy (Albany's Paul Thompson) and 8 more than the Wolves' Shane Harper.
Tale of the Tape: Feb. 13
Tonight Chicago welcomes league-leading Oklahoma City to Allstate Arena. The Wolves and Barons have not faced off against each other in more than 14 months since completing their season series in early December in 2013-14.
Tale of the Tape: Feb. 11
The Chicago Wolves enter tonight's game riding a two-game winning streak --- their second time stringing together multiple wins since the New Year --- and look to kick off a season-high seven-game stretch at home by making it three.

Does he really like me? or is he using me?
okay...i like this guy and yesterday I was with him in his bed, and he started kissing me...well got it pretty heated up but we stopped before it got... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
Hes liked you for a long time, but wants you on the side for fun.
Hes cheating on his girlfriend with you- not okay. If he did that with her, he's going to do that to you too.
Somewhere in his mind he rationalized that it was okay to cheat, so you need to really look at if that is someone you want to be with.
What Guys Said 2
He is just cheating on his girlfriend. It is a simple as that. He told you he liked you to hook you in and get your head going like it is, he wants you to be a person to look for if/when he an his girlfriend break up Just as others have already stated, if you date him, chances are he will do the same to you.
What Girls Said 5
Whatever...he's not married. I'm just kidding. Sort of. You should tell him that if he wants you then he's going to have to dump his girlfriend unless you like being the other chick.
But then there's a chance he might do the same thing to her... (break up with her when he finds a new chick)... which I'm sure she doesn't want to happen. So basically like everyone else is saying, she's being used for sex.
I was being facetious. lol She shouldn't lower herself to being the other woman. Who would like being the other woman?
Have an opinion?

Federal government agencies are really good at wasting taxpayer money and the Department of Justice is no exception. In 2011, DOJ officials took heat for spending lavish amounts of cash for a conference in Washington D.C. In 2013, we learned taxpayers have shelled out more than $4 million for Attorney General Eric Holder's travel during his tenure and now, DOJ will spend more than a half a million dollars to "better its brand" on the professional networking site LinkedIn.
The Justice Department is spending more than $500,000 to "enhance" its company profile on LinkedIn and increase its "brand awareness."
The contract, awarded on Christmas Eve, gives the government "unlimited access" to each of the networking site's 250 million users through LinkedIn's "Recruiter" service.
The DOJ's Criminal Division, which enforces federal criminal laws, will use LinkedIn Recruiter to post job advertisements and seek out potential employees. Carahsoft Technology Corporation, a government IT company, will receive $544,338 to administer the service, according to the award.
The contract will allow the division to "reach a large-scale professional network of existing and potential Criminal Division audiences," the agency said.
Creating a LinkedIn profile is free, but that isn't stopping DOJ from spending excess amounts of money on a recruiting job that can be done by someone already inside the Department. It is also important to note the criminal division, where this money will be focused, is headed by Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer. Breuer has been repeatedly accused of submitting false and misleading information to Congress about Operation Fast and Furious.

Miami Marlins pitcher Henderson Alvarez squared up to bunt against the Giants' Matt Cain on Saturday, but when he saw a Cain fastball heading right toward him, understandably, he bailed. But Henderson's bat did not bail. Instead, the lumber levitated for a second and bunted the ball anyways, deflecting the pitch into foul territory. It was something you certainly don't see every day and was probably the best or worst bunt you've ever seen, depending on how you look at it. Check out a couple angles of the play.

Shobaleader One EP
(Ed Banger)
US: Import
UK: 30 Aug 2010
Squarepusher's latest two-track EP is a leaden one. It's been released on the French house-heavy label Ed Banger. The man behind Squarepusher, Tom Jenkinson, gives us "Cryptic Motion," a slow bass noodling over a preset beat, the same 909 crash cymbals you've been hearing for years, and some bland Sesame Street synth-ery. Jenkinson must have taken a liking to SebastiAn, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. and his other francophile label mates at some point. Shobaleader One is not danceable, only picking up a few BPMs when fellow funk-man Mr. Oizo steps in on the EP's second track, "Cryptic Motion (Mr. Ozio Remix). Unfortunately, Oizo's work here isn't anything useful. He spares us his standard groove-embedded bass and works Squarepusher's half-stepper into boring 4AM filler, including all the wispy, cut-up standards that have ruined French house in the shadow of Daft Punk.

The Gendered Societyby Michael S Kimmel
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Thoroughly updated and revised, the third edition of The Gendered Society explores current thinking about gender, both inside academia and in our everyday lives. Michael S. Kimmel challenges the claim that gender is limited to women's experiences--his compelling and balanced study of gender includes both masculine and feminine perspectives. Part 1 examines the latest work in biology, anthropology, psychology, and sociology; Part 2 provides an original analysis of the gendered worlds of family, education, and work; and Part 3 explores gender interactions, including friendship and love, sexuality, and violence.
Kimmel makes three bold and persuasive statements about gender. First, he demonstrates that gender differences are often extremely exaggerated; in fact, he argues that men and women have much more in common than we think they do. Kimmel also challenges the pop psychologists who suggest that gender difference is the cause of inequality between the sexes; instead, he reveals that the reverse is true--gender inequality itself is the cause of the differences between men and women. Finally, he illustrates that gender is not merely an element of individual identity, but a socially constructed institutional phenomenon.
A new chapter on media examines the portrayal of gender in one of the most powerful--and provocative--social institutions. Of particular interest to students, Kimmel's analysis of this dynamic, image-driven industry makes the study of gender relevant in an immediate and tangible way.
Essential reading for both students and scholars, The Gendered Society is an authoritative, incisive, and lively statement about contemporary gender relations from one of the country's foremost thinkers on the subject. Kimmel's companion text, The Gendered Society Reader, Third Edition (OUP, 2008), provides a perfect complement for classroom use.
Thoroughly updated and revised, the second edition of The Gendered Society explores current thinking about gender, both inside academia and in our everyday lives. Part I examines the latest work in biology, anthropology, psychology, and sociology; Part II provides an original analysis of the
gendered worlds of family, education, and work; and Part III focuses on the gendered interactions of friendship and love, sexuality, and violence. As a result of his research, author Michael S. Kimmel makes three claims about gender. First, he argues that the differences between men and women are
not as great as we often imagine, and that in fact women and men have far more in common with one another than we think they do. Second, he challenges the notions of the many pop psychologists who suggest that gender difference is the cause of the dramatic observable inequality between the sexes.
Instead, Kimmel reveals that the reverse is true: gender inequality is the cause of the differences between women and men. Third, he argues that gender is not simply an aspect of individual identity but is also an institutional phenomenon, embedded in the organizations and institutions in which we
interact daily. Kimmel concludes with a brief epilogue looking ahead to gender relations in the new century. The second edition includes a new chapter, "The Gendered Body," and a sharper critique of biological differences. The Gendered Society, 2/e, is a well-reasoned, authoritative, and keenly
animated statement about contemporary gender relations, written by one of the country's foremost thinkers on the subject. It is an essential text for both scholars and students alike. Kimmel's companion book, The Gendered Society Reader, 2/e, (OUP, 2003), provides a perfect complement for classroom

What is the stupidest/most ignorant thing you've heard today?
Just a few minutes ago, I got told that homosexuality mentioned in the 10 Commandments because it didn't exist until recent history.
Isn't mentioned*
Today? The name Natalie spelled like this - Knatalye. See that k is silent and clearly makes the name much more special. Dumbest thing I've seen all day.
That's a whole new level of yoonik-ness.
I saw that lol
That's so Yoonique.
That my cousin isn't racist yet she keeps calling any person from Iraq "Ali Baba". That was a lovely Facebook post to read.
Oh my, that is one special kind of dumb. O_O
That there is 30 weeks in a year.. I just sat there and agreed with her and did the math myself to figure out when to swop car seats out.
I had a family member tell me that melted cheese contains more fat than before it was melted.
That letting your kid watch the (front loader glass door) washer going would cause autism.
A "friend" told me that it just wasn't in God's plan for us to have children. Next time I won't be so nice about telling her what I think about that one.
My ignorant cousin writing on Facebook that she would declare her love for Christ even if an Isis militant was holding a knife to her throat. Oh and re posting a link to some religious cr@p about "the gay" being a choice.
I swear if she wasn't my family I would fire her out of a canon.
Today I heard several coworkers were mad at me for not leaving my book of admin logins and passwords out and available for them while I was on vacation.
"My ignorant cousin writing on Facebook that she would declare her love for Christ even if an Isis militant was holding a knife to her throat."
I'll admit I don't know a lot about what's going on with ISIS, but what part about that makes your cousin ignorant and stupid?
How did you refrain from throat punching her on the spot? That's probably one of the worst things anyone could ever say to someone who longs to have a child. That sucks. I'm sorry she told you that.
Why should she deny her religion??
The fact that she has no idea how the people in that situation are feeling and that they would probably say anything if they thought that it meant they would be spared. The way she wrote it inferred judgement on those who were forced to "convert" to Islam at knifepoint.
She also has some delightful posts about abortion being murder. She really is holier than thou.
Today I came across a YouTube channel (is it a channel? I'm not all that familiar with it) that was all about conspiracy theories. This particular one was about how the ISIS beheadings aren't real, that the mother pleasing for her son's life (the mother of the man who was killed today) was just an actress, etc.. It made me actually feel nauseous.
That the JPEGs I sent an employee "weren't showing up at first, but they finally loaded."
Haha! Still makes me lolz. (Tee hee)

Ernie Grunfeld Rumors
Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has signed guards Vander Blue, Xavier Silas and David Stockton, forwards Rasual Butler and Damion James and center Daniel Orton. Per team policy, terms of the deals were not released. Blue (6-4, 200) went undrafted in 2013. The Marquette alum signed a 10-day contract with the Boston Celtics on January 22, 2014 and appeared in three games, scoring a total of five points in a combined 15 minutes. While on assignment with the Delaware 87ers of the D-League last season, he appeared in four games and averaged 19.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 30.5 minutes.
"We are pleased with the progress the team has made on the court and with the culture we have been able to build with Randy as our head coach," said Grunfeld. "We will look to continue that momentum with him deservedly leading this group of dedicated and hard-working players."
Wizards GM Ernie Grunfeld – After saving Ted Leonsis almost $100 million during a reputation-swallowing rebuild, the ErnDog showed he stills knows how to build a contender. No other GM observes Earth Day like Ernie, who is able to recycle trash into Trevor Ariza. Getting Marcin Gortat for Emeka Okafor before the season . . . brilliant. Andre Miller as a rent-a-vet? Solid. Oh, and who knew he had another year left on his deal after this season that no one knew about until now (That's right, a little news for you.)
Leonsis declined to comment on the futures of Wizards General Manager Ernie Grunfeld and Coach Randy Wittman. "I don't think it's appropriate to talk about people's contracts when you're in the playoffs," Leonsis said. "What I've said all along, and what I'll say is, I only can worry about what I'm dealing with on a one-to-one basis with management. When we bought the Wizards not even four years ago, I made the assessment that there was less risk in blowing the team up and starting from scratch than there was in trying to build around it. "We had lots of conversations with Ernie and Ernie was very, very straightforward with me, which was, 'Well, I can guarantee you that you're going to be really, really bad.' We played five rookies the first year that we owned the team. We had five starting players who were rookies. We weren't trying to tank; we just had so many first-year players. … Everyone in the organization has done a good job, but it starts with the players, and then the coach."
Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that guard Glen Rice has been recalled from the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League. Rice will be with the team for tonight's game vs. Chicago. In two separate assignments with the Energy, Rice has appeared in 19 games while averaging 17.2 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 28 minutes per game.
The Wizards had lofty expectations for returning to the playoffs this season, and given how bad the East is, it's too early to discount them in that endeavor. But with a 4-7 record, the results have been mixed so far, to put it kindly. League sources wonder how long GM Ernie Grunfeld can remain in self-preservation mode. Speaking of self-preservation, continued struggles in Washington would put coach Randy Wittman in a race with the coach of our next team in the Misery Index to see who will be the first coach to be fired this season.
Leonsis inherited a mess with the Wizards, and he's embarked on a rebuilding process similar to the one that brought the Capitals out of the doldrums. But the Wizards were a combined 86 games under .500 over the last three NBA seasons, and eventually the longsuffering fans need to get their payoff. It's worth noting that both team president Ernie Grunfeld and coach Randy Wittman are in the final year of their contracts.
Bernard King says he dealt with racism off the court that included clashes with police while starring for Tennessee in the 1970s. In an ESPN "30 for 30″ documentary airing today, King said that former Volunteers coach Ray Mears warned him that he'd heard some local officers would "do anything to get him." King, the first former Tennessee player inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame, cites one incident in which he says an officer hit him in the head with the butt of his gun while responding to a loitering report. The documentary, "Bernie and Ernie," focuses on the friendship of King and ex-college teammate Ernie Grunfeld.
"I'm tired of losing. It's not a lot of fun coming to games knowing, 'This is going to be a tough night.' We're just at that point now, it's the fourth year, we've retained our players, we've added players, we've spent a lot of money. And I expect us to be a playoff-caliber team. I think our fan base expects that too and that's the pressure I've placed on our organization, that we have to meet the expectations of our fans — and it's time." — Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, to local reporters, throwing down the gauntlet for his team to improve upon its dismal showings of the last few years. Both general manager Ernie Grunfeld and coach Randy Wittman are entering the final years of their respective contracts.
"I'll have to cross that bridge when I get to it," Leonsis said. "I'll have to see what the circumstances are, just like we do with every team, and every owner does. How does the season turn out and what happened? But certainly right now, I'm very very happy with the job the front office has done. "Ernie on the hot seat?" asked Owens, who has a lot more chuztpah than I do. "We're all on the hot seat," Leonsis answered. "I'm on the hot seat. If the ratings aren't good, you'll be on the hot seat, too. I mean, we live in very accountable businesses, and we're all accountable."
Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has promoted Tommy Sheppard to senior vice president of basketball operations. In addition, the team has named Marc Eversley as vice president of scouting, Frank Ross as director of player personnel, Greg Ballard as advance pro scout and Thomas Knox as director of player performance and rehabilitation while promoting Ed Tapscott to vice president of player programs, Pat Sullivan to assistant coach, Brett Greenberg to director of basketball analytics/salary cap management, Bryan Oringher to video coordinator and Ryan Richman to assistant video coordinator.
"Al's all-around game and reputation as a leader make him a solid fit with our team," Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld said in a statement. "He will give us additional depth and experience in the frontcourt, the ability to stretch defenses and another proven veteran in the locker room."
John Wall: Words can't explain how blessed and happy I am! I want to thank my owner Mr Ted Leonsis, GM Ernie Grunfeld and the whole @WashWizards staff!
Wizards president Ernie Grunfeld wouldn't comment on whether or not he expected an agreement to be consummated quickly, but if how quickly he moved in free agency is any indication he'd like to get it done sooner rather than later. Grunfeld locked up Eric Maynor, Martell Webster and Garrett Temple in the first three days of the free agency.
Prior to the draft, Grunfeld said the Wizards might already have a player capable of being a "stretch four" already on the roster. The summer league will serve as an important time for both Vesely and Singleton to distinguish themselves as they head into possibly their final seasons in Washington. The Wizards also have the expiring contracts of Okafor ($14.5 million) and Ariza ($7.7 million) to use as trade chips for possible upgrades, as well. "We expect to have everybody back," Grunfeld said, "but having said that, if the right opportunity comes along, it's something that we'll look at, but right now we expect to have everybody that we have on the roster currently, and we are having conversations as we move along like every team is."
Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has re-signed forward Martell Webster. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not released. "Martell's versatility and shooting ability combined with his experience and leadership make him a valuable part of our team," said Grunfeld. "We are very pleased to have him back both on the court and in the locker room and look forward to his continued contributions to our success."
"Martell's versatility and shooting ability combined with his experience and leadership make him a valuable part of our team," said Grunfeld. "We are very pleased to have him back both on the court and in the locker room and look forward to his continued contributions to our success."
The day before he agreed to remain with the Wizards, Martell Webster was at relative ease. He spoke briefly with Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld on Monday but left the negotiations up to his agent, Dan Fegan, and even took some time catch the new Superman movie, "Man of Steel," at the Gallery Place theater next to Verizon Center. "No stress. No stress," Webster said of his emotions during the free agent recruiting period in a telephone interview on Tuesday. "I've been blessed to play this game. I was never worried about basketball. I always knew that if I take care of what I need to take care of, things will fall into place. And they did."
Coach Randy Wittman and GM Ernie Grunfeld have said they don't want to add three rookies to the 2013-14 roster, meaning they would like to explore dealing at least one pick, maybe both in the second round, in a package for a veteran. According to persons with knowledge of the situation, the Wizards will bring in about six players each day through Friday. Six is the maximum teams are allowed. CSN has confirmed some of the names. Lottery picks such as Otto Porter (Georgetown), Victor Oladipo (Indiana) and Ben McLemore (Kansas), who could be available when the Wizards pick No. 3 overall, will not be among this first wave but could come here the following week.
The following statement is from Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld on behalf of the team: "We are extremely proud of Jason and support his decision to live his life proudly and openly. He has been a leader on and off the court and an outstanding teammate throughout his NBA career. Those qualities will continue to serve him both as a player and as a positive role model for others of all sexual orientation."
Ernie Grunfeld: "I think Martell Webster played very well for us. He had a very good year. He was a free agent, and he was very good value for us, but not only was he valuable on the court, he was one of the better 3-point shooters, he stretches the defense, and it complements John and Nene both. But he's also a good presence in the locker room, and he had nice leadership to him. obviously, he's a free agent, and at the appropriate time, we'll sit down with his representatives to see if we can work out something that works for him and works for us."
Ernie Grunfeld: I think John Wall had a very good year, and he showed that he makes a difference on the team. There's no question about that, and he's eligible for an extension. July 1 is the first day we can talk about that, and we'll have conversations with him, his representatives, to see if we can work something out… Obviously, we've said all along that we're building this team around John and with John. We want to have him here long term.
More than three years after Wizards team president Ernie Grunfeld granted his request to join a championship contender and traded him to Cleveland in the aftermath of a horrendous season that included the death of Wizards owner Abe Pollin and the gun fiasco, Jamison admits that he wishes he had handled the situation in Washington differently. "I regret it," Jamison said. "Ernie came to me and said, 'You deserve it. I want to do what's best for you.' I was frustrated. That was a tough year. But I wish I would've stuck it out the duration of my contract, because if it wasn't for D.C., I don't think I'd be where I am at professionally. They gave me that opportunity, from Ernie and Eddie Jordan and Mr. Pollin. They gave me that captain [title]. . . . That was my family.
On the role improved health has played in the turnaround: "I think it's shown that when [we] got healthy our record got a lot better. Not only our record, but the way [we] played got better and our competitive attitude and the way we played the game got better. Twenty games is a short sample, but it shows you something. For a guy like John to come back after not having played four months, he still has a little bit of rust on him and he's getting that off of him. He's been very competitive and he's made players around him better. Bradley is going into the second half of the year. He has 40, 50 games under his belt, His game has risen a little bit, he's been more consistent, he's learning. But he still has a lot of work ahead of him just like all our players do. Nene still having a little nagging injury here and there, but he's been out there battling. [Emeka] Okafor's been consistent. A lot of positive things have happened but by no means are we satisfied with where we are."
Ernie Grunfeld on what changed after acquiring Crawford two years ago from Atlanta: "Jordan, nothing really changed. He had some good moments, but the way we're playing now is a lot different than then. Now we're a defensive oriented team and our numbers especially over the last 20 games have shown that we're one of the top defensive teams in the league. The ball movement has been really good recently and that's helped us win some games. The players are playing the right way and trying to execute. They've been supportive of one another and it just seems like it wasn't the perfect fit for Jordan at this time."
Washington Wizards President Ernie Grunfeld announced today that the team has waived guard Shelvin Mack. Mack, who signed as a free agent with Washington on December 25, 2012, appeared in seven games, including two starts, and averaged 5.3 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 20.1 minutes per contest.

|ESPN.com: NFC East
|[Print without images]
Here are the NFC East starters for the 2009 Pro Bowl: FB Mike Sellers, Redskins, TE Jason Witten, G Chris Snee, C Andre Gurode, DE Justin Tuck, DT Jay Ratliff, OLB DeMarcus Ware, P Jeff Feagles, PK John Carney
Reserves: QB Eli Manning, RB, Clinton Portis, TE Clinton Portis, OT Chris Samuels, C Shaun O'Hara, CB Asante Samuel, FS Brian Dawkins, G Leonard Davis
My biggest disappointment: Redskins linebacker London Fletcher should be in the Pro Bowl. He's had a great season. Patrick Willis and Jon Beason made it in front of Fletcher. Hopefully Fletcher will make it as an alternate, but that's not the same. It looks like the Redskins' ballot-stuffing didn't pay off that much. Sellers deserves to be starting. And Clinton Portis, Chris Samuels and Chris Cooley all deserve backup spots. Early in the fan voting process, the Redskins were leading at 17 positions.
I'll be back a little later with some Pro Bowl analysis.

AES Convention Papers Forum
The Single Stereo Display Compared to Stereo VU Meters
This paper describes the use of a single row of bi-color indicators to replace and overcome the deficiencies of the typical pair of meters used to show left and right signal levels in stereo applications. By using bi-color elements, a total of three colors are actually obtained; a single color when the left channel is driven, a single color when the right channel is driven, and a mixture of the two when both channels are driven. Watching the row of indicators during program operation will indicate three different amplitudes; the left channel volume, the right channel volume, and the difference between the two of them. These amplitudes are immediately obvious and very easy to interpret.

We were welcomed by the lovely parents of Giuseppe. They showed us the apartment and gave us some nice tips for dinner and to visit.
The apartment was very big and spacious. All the rooms were very clean and complete. Nothing was missing for a pleasant stay in Trapani. And we really loved the 50ies style!
We would definitely recommend this apartment when you're visiting Trapani. And don't forget a magnet! The fridge could use some more :)
The apartment is really nice & authentic.
It's clean and spacious (2! huge balconies).
Nevertheless we've never seen Giuseppe, his parents provided warm Italian welcome (pickup from the bus-station, detailed guided city tour, cold juice and aqua minerale were included).
There's no electric air-condition (was it in 1950s?), but you can practice in combining closed windows and making draughts)). The property is well-equipped, there's a lot of different small things making your stay comfortable.
It can't be called a quiet place, but it in good position in Trapani (you can easily access public transport, cable-way, lots of shops).
Really price for value.
Would recommend to stay.
A-ma-zing place! Clear communication, a very friendly and warm welcome.
Guiseppe's parents and his sister picked us up, brought us to the apartment, gave us a tour and after that, we could enjoy this nicely decorated house.
At the end we got some fresh and delicious figgs from his dad.
Thank you very much. Highly recomended apartment.
Kind regards
Tjitze & Nina
This place made me feel like a princess. I expected it to be beautiful, but this is wauw. Definately if you have a passion for the old-style-Sicillian-vintage kind of furnishing.
Giuseppe is very willing to help at any time of day and quick in communicating (which for me was very helpfull at times I couldn't find my way around town or whenever i needed a quick advice on something). Extra extra credits really go to his parents who picked me up from the busstop, even though it was midnight. They introduced little Sicilian treats to me and came by late one night when I thought I broke the water supply (which I actually didnt but they still came by to assure me everything was ok)!. Really lovely people. It was an honor for me to stay in their beloved appartment. Will definately go back soon!
This place was fantastic and exactly what I needed for this leg of my trip. You get an entire apartment for an extremely reasonable price. After non stop travelling for three and half months I needed this to recharge, filled the days with perfect pizza, gelato, reading and strolling around a historic and beautiful town. Nice relaxed change to the hustle and bustle of palermo. The house is so great, like being in a time machine set for the 1950's which adds to the romantic feel of Trapani. It is a healthy walk to the city centre, but the bus is very simple as you are the main road into town. Also make sure have booked the rest of your holiday, as there is no Internet and you will have to walk a bit to find it. You probably won't meet Giuseppe, but he is fast and prompt to answer all your enquiries. You will meet the neighbours and his wonderful parents. Brush up on speaking Italian will help. All up: recommended :)
it's not only that im overcharmed by the place itself but by the generosity and hospitality of Giuseppe and his kind and gentle parents. first, he shared all the necessary info and tips, then his parents welcomed me "on board" with sicilian specialities. the house is nice and clean.
but what is more, i had a sad story as i was robbed touring in Segesta and Giuseppe and his parents were eager to help me and left me a big bag full of juicy sweet fruit! this is so kind and nice. im very happy i could stay in such a place with good energy. thank you!
We stayed one week in Trapani in this lovely apartment. It was very clean and generous with two balconies and lots of space. Giuseppe's parents were super nice, helpful and even brought us delicious figs from their garden and awesome "dolci". Communication with Giuseppe worked out just fine. We would love to come back to this apartment and to Trapani!
The apartment is not located in the city center, but near the cable car to Erice and on a nice (but kind of big) street with good shops and bars. Mille grazie per tutto!!!

Good location, good enviroment, good breakfast
good staff. OK.
Customer service was good
Room was very small & breakfast was over priced
Proximity to Lisbon
Near metro
Helpful staff during stay
Shuttle to airport or waiting taxis if before 6am
Early morning call
Incorrect information given re shuttle from airport to hotel
Location and price.
It's simply not a five star hotel. Cheap furnishings in the reeom, badly stained carpet, poor quality mattress.
Sauna and Pool, Breakfast. Staffs, Cleanliness.
Location(Public Traffic), Gym
The staff of the hotel was excellent, very helpful and courteous. The room was quiet despite it's city location. Very attractive for a small room - quite contemporary with a Portuguese flair.
We wish the room would have had a clock, more wastebaskets and some tissue (e.g. Kleenex).
Location is very good, rooms are good in general, breakfast buffet is not great but very adequate.
Rooms have been recently renovated with very good AC.
It was a bit hard to find. They should provide a VERY detailed map and very detailed instructions from the Restauradores station.
WiFi a bit unreliable and hard to connect.
I booked this hotel as it said - close to airport and Shuttle service, which usually means free shuttle. Well, it wasn't free, had to be pre-arranged, and ended up doubling the cost of the hotel room to stay here one night, for taxi to and from the airport. and was like 30 minutes from the airport.
Overall great hotel
Non smoking room smelled like cigarettes
Excellent location.
The room was grossly misrepresented. The pictures and description of the room was not what was received. Even after requesting a better room, the room given to us was still not what was shown. I took photos and called Priceline with my complaint yesterday
The location is amazing- right in the middle of the centre of Lisbon. There is a beautiful breakfast room with ample lighting, and the staff was friendly and helpful.
The room was very hot with no AC, the only working outlet was hanging from an extention cord from the ceiling, the shared bathroom was probably not sufficient for 20 people (only one toilet and one shower for everyone), wifi is not included- pay-by-hour.
Driver to and from the airport, Diego, was one of the friendliest and helpful and knowledgeable people I met on my 2 week European vacation. The hotel was beautiful and staff from front desk to doorman to room service and spa were outstanding.
I forgot my swimsuit and couldn't use the spa relaxing pool area!

This was my second stay at this hotel. I stayed for 7 nights and will come back also next time. The hotel is simple, yet very well run. The rooms are spotless and well maintained each day by the staff. And th elevator was nice and efficient.
We stayed here in 2011 and decided to return this year for five nights. The hotel is well located, and the staff are friendly and helpful with good English. The rooms are not huge but reasonable for the price. The free Wifi was good and a bonus.
We spent 5 nights in this very accommodating hotel, centrally located, close to the Sorbonne. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The lift is very slow. Being on the second floor meant easy access by stairs. We will certainly stay there again :-)
Stayed here for 6 nights while on a tennis trip with our local university. Paris is one of the most expensive hotel markets in the world and paying for 10 people, 6 of whom were college students is expensive! Our French Tennis guide Marc, told us about the Hotel Cujas Pantheon and we are glad he did! For the money,...
We stayed in this hotel per the advice of a friend and were not disappointed. The location was great, and the room was clean and quiet. It was tiny, as we expected, but that was okay. Some of the front desk staff was lovely, but others were not quite as nice. The breakfast was pretty bad, so I'd avoid that...
Stayed here for 4 nights and the experience was AMAZING. We booked a triple room. It was clean and AC worked perfectly. The lift (which is not common in all hotels in Paris) was spacious for 4 people at a time. The bathroom was clean and piping hot water was available for a cold Paris day. The beds and mattresses...
The rooms was small but clean, good location, between two bus stations, 2 metro and RER stations. Walking distance from Notre Dame, many restaurants and coffee shops around, and the beautiful Luxembourg garden. Overall nice experience, this was my second stay and would do it again. Staff are nice and fiendly, very helpful.
Fine for an overnight stop but maybe not for a longer stay. The reception staff were all very helpful and all spoke excellent English. Their helpfulness went beyond the call of duty and has moved this review up to 'very good' from the 'average' it would otherwise have deserved.
The room décor was rather tired and the view (from the...
We appreciate you taking the time to provide us with your feedback. In particular, Whilst some of our clients prefer rooms with a window onto the street, we have others that prefer a room facing the internal courtyard as they are very quiet. We acknowledge that the view into the internal courtyard is quite limited and we will soon be...
Nice little pension next to Latin Quarter. Ideal location, quiet, no fuss, affordable small French hotel. There is a cafe across the street, near boulevard Saint Michel and the river. No tv, no gym-- the point of this hotel is its quiet safe location.
This was the perfect room to be close to everything! Easy walking distance to the Pantheon, Notre Dame and Luxembourg Gardens. The service was fabulous. The front desk staff were extremely helpful. I would stay here again and highly recommend it to everyone.
We thank you for your positive feedback. Our reception staff take great pleasure in helping you plan and enjoy your stay in Paris.
