somethings wrong with my ps3,i dont know it came thru like that.¨i thought i really knew her¨
The other article Worjokowski wrote makes me REALLY HATE LEBRON! Mr James WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, YOU REPT WHAT YOU SEW, YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GONNA DO ALONG TIME AGO,YOU WILL GET JUST WHAT YOUR ASKING FOR AND THEN SOME.. YOU GUYS HAVE TO READ THAT SECOND ARTICLE TO TRULY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS. THIS IS TRULY SAD,ITS LIKE SOAP OPERA OR SOMETHING IT'S LIKE IM ON CHEATERS AND THAT ARTICLE WAS LIKE I WAS WATCHING VIDEO OF MY GIRL GETTING HER GUMBO STIRRED BY A DIFFERENT SPOON AND IM JUST SITTIN THERE LOOKIN @ THE VIDEO{reading the article} WIT MY MOUTH WIDE OPEN LIKE¨ I THOUGHT I REALLY KNEW HER¨
@brieman Im just sayin this doesnt look like the same CP3 we've all come to love.I just think his grandfather taught him to be a man about this and speak for himself thats all i was trying to say.
As far as the website thing goes i was thinking the same thing but more along the lines of flooding radio sations with calls so when comes in town for the meeting Monday he will see what LeBron ran from,DISGRUNTLED FANS!!! Or give him a WHO DAT style welcome at the airport either way its a MUST that we be HEARD as fans. I love NOLA.COM i read it eveyday but their coverege of this and other issues with the hornets just KILLS me. They dont question anything they do,so we as fans have to find a way for that article by Warjokwski gets talked about because that article is ON POINT with this whole situation. CHRIS BE YOUR OWN MAN!
I just would like one reporter to ask Chris this one question. ¨What do you think your GRANDFATHER would say about all this? Didn't he teach you the value of hard right,thats what you said drove you to score a point for every year he was on this earth which was 63. Do you think he call you a quitter and tell you thats not what men do,you dont follow another mans plans for you, you stay the coarse and honor your word no one made you put that pen to that paper it was own choice.¨ LeBorn lacks what Chris has..............A KILLER INSTINCT that's why we wants you stay in the Western Confrence so you won't stop his little thing he's got going with D.Wade and Bosh, because they already have to deal with Boston,Orlando,and Chicago with you added to the mixx that makes it more difficult to get to where he's trying to get. And one more thing he needs someone else to take the attenion off of him so he can say Chris did it too but if you stay and win................CHRIS THE WORLD WILL LOVE YOU!!!
It's apparent that Shinn doesn't want to just let go of his baby,so i think he and Gary should just switch roles,Gary becomes majority and he becomes minority that way grandpa can still come by and play with the kids.
My bad dude.
With NO input from Monty! For u "internet professors".
@tujdgeb.....Why should we trade DCdimes away when we've need a PG off the bench since Pargo plus with no Head who would be backup PG. We need Kevin Pritchard at GM so he and Monty can work together because i really think he had no say so with Bower by him being a so called SCOUT he picked players he wanted with input from Monty. The biggest plus i think for KP at GM is he built a playoff contender in a SMALL MARKET!!!
Yesssss!!!!! Now Monty tell Gary and George how Kevin turned the JAIL BLAZERS back to the TRAILBLAZERS and how he was about to draft CP3 and how he PRITCH-SLAPED some GM in the draft day trade for LeMarcus Eldridge,yeah Monty tell'em all dat good stuff. DON'T MAKE ANYMORE MOVES WITHOUT A GM,SORRY WITHOUT KEVIN!!!!!
The trade goes like this Melo for Ju Ju,Songala,Peja{all expiering contracts} and Okafor or Posey[remember teams that trade Allstars get nothing but role players] and if they refuse it he'll PRITCH-SLAP'EM
I just saw on espn the Nuggets just signed SF/Al Harrington to a deal this could open the door to get Melo now if the Hornets could make another GOOD DECISION and choose FORMER BLAZERS GM Kevin Pritchard the guy who has been said to PRITCH-SLAP GM'S into TRADES and we seem to a little PROBLEM BETTIN THE BLAZERS DONT WE? Why not get the gut who built this SMALL MARKET INTO A MULTI YEAR PLAYOFF TEAM. Just think if manegment in Portland didnt stand in the way we wouldnt even have Cp3,and Portland did it again when he wanted Durant over Oden so the guy knows talent, he built AROUND HIS SUPERSTAR BRANDON ROY ever since he drafted him in 2004. The biggest plus of all is Monty Willams is knows he im already and was a big part in developing allot of the Blazers players so i hope they bring him in.
Remember another young coach who was hired and it had everyone sratching their heads like who is this guy? Remember this young coach was able to relate to his young players and they called him a players coach? Sean Payton learned under some great coaches such as John Gruden,Andy Reid and the great one himself Bill Parcels. Now i'm not sayin Monty will have the same career as SP but he's a student of the game he played for G. Pop in 99 for their 1st title then was brought back as a coach and was given credit for working with a young T.Parker and M.Gonioble and also if you go to www.atthehive.com the newspaper in Portland says he the reason for the development of a lot of their young players like Nichols Batum LaMarcus Eldrige who came to tears in a phone conversion with Monty. So im not worried at all he'll be just fine. How many times have we watch good young players{B.Bass,JR,Birdman} walk away from us in the pass because they did have a coach who could develop talent.
Well its really simple. Jahri is 26 and with NO MAJOR INJURIES,Darren is 34 with a knee that needed MICROFRACTURE SURGERY. Remember Reggie Bush said he didnt feel better until midseason and he had the same surgery and he's only 23,so thats the reason why they SCROOGED him.
SAINTS-BAYOU,JIMMYLIKESNOLA,FOLKWIRE,WHATDOIKNOW,SAINTSRREAL,ANEWLEVEL,TRIP70130!!!!!!!! I read an article before the draft about some guys who had private workouts with the Saints.CARLOS DUNLAP,TORELL TROUP,BRIAN PRICE,PAT ANGERER,SEAN WEATHERSPOON,AARON MORGAN,THADDEUS GIBSON,DARRYL WASHINGTON AND JUNIOR GALETTE. So G.Will and Bill Johnson put these guys threw drills they most likely didnt fit into there scheme because they couldve selected anyone of'em.But there's one guy who i think will be the Marcus Colston of this draft. After i read that article i went to youtube and looked at each guy they worked out and the only person that had me foaming at the mouth was JUNIOR GALETTE!!!!! The Saints Scouting Dept is a BEAST!!!! This dude has that GAME CHANGING SPEED,seeing come off the edge reminded me of LAWRENCE TAYLOR,YES I SAID IT LAWRENCE TAYLOR!!!!! Which brings me to the reason i put you guys names in bold letters,i wanna know if im right about this guy are not.
One thing i forgot to mention,JUNIOR GALETTE had a private workout for G.WILL AND BILL.
Just like G.Will had input on P.Robinson pick he more than likely had input on this one too.Both will be coached up to the fullest by G.Will and Bill so im not worried about those picks at all.Im hoping that they go with JUNIOR GALETTE 6-2-255lb-OLB-TEMPLE UNIV with the 7th pick.THIS GUY HAS THE SPEED OF LAWRENCE TAYLOR its a bold statement so i put it bold letters,go to youtube and tell me im wrong.
I didnt like the pick at first but,the Rams and Washington games brought me to my senses. But we have to shore up the middle because next season in the first five weeks of the season we will face five great runningbacks,which all had thousand plus yard seasons last year accept Benie Wells[756]. The playoff game against Arizona i saw why the Saints tried to get Wells,i had to rub my eyes a few times because for a second i thought i saw a young DUECE that day!!!
Im sorry its JUNIOR GALETTE not JUNIOR GALLTE thatsJUNIOR GALETTE,JUNIOR GALETTE!!!! UKWHODAT BONDCRASH,CHECK HIM OUT!!!!

Ball relishing cup test
by Stuart Vose
Coach looks ahead to U21s' cup assignment at Turf Moor.
Kevin Ball is delighted to see knock-out football on the agenda tonight as the under-21's kick off their challenge for the Barclays U21 Premier League Cup.
The development squad head to Turf Moor this evening (KO 7pm) to take on Burnley looking to secure a place in the fourth round in the competition's inaugural year.
The trip will be special on a personal level for Ball, who made 90 appearances for the Clarets between July 2000 and April 2002.
But he's more focused on his players and how they respond to tonight's cup challenge.
"It's a new competition and a nice one for the players – once that tie ends they're either in or out of the competition and it's good that they have to deal with that," he explained.
I like the cup competitions because they add a genuine bit of excitement
- Kevin Ball
"I like the cup competitions because they add a genuine bit of excitement.
"From my point of view it will be nice to go back to Burnley – I've been back for games and to represent the club, but it's the first time I've been back as a coach for a competitive match.
"It's a great club and I'm looking forward to going back."
The development squad last visited Turf Moor last season, running out 2-1 winners in a tight friendly game.
And Ball is expecting a similarly competitive encounter this time around with a place in the next round at stake.
"I would imagine it will be a tight game and we have no idea what kind of side they'll be putting out," he said.
"Last time we faced Burnley they played a similar way to how we like to play – passing the ball out from the back.
"The players will have to adjust very quickly which isn't a bad thing for their development."
In terms of results, recent games haven't gone the way we would have liked, but crucially the way we have played has been very good
- Ball looks back
Tonight's game is only the development squad's second competitive outing of the month – they were last in action in the Barclays U21 Premier League on November 4, losing 2-1 to West Brom at Eppleton CW.
The gap has been filled with friendlies, the most recent of which saw a 3-1 defeat to Leeds United at the Academy of Light last week.
And Ball says recent results haven't reflected the quality of his side's performances which have seen them stick to their footballing philosophy.
"In terms of results, recent games haven't gone the way we would have liked, but crucially the way we have played has been very good," he explained.
"We've been missing players which creates opportunities for others to come in and there's been a little bit of transition in the team.
"We lost to Leeds in our last game which was obviously disappointing, but the way we played and the chances created were superb. We're sticking to our philosophy.
"In those recent games we've been close to achieving both – the philosophy and the win."

Like the old saying "you're beautiful when you're angry," Carmen Rodgers sounds really good when she's bitter. And she effectively captures the stages of hurt, anger and resignation of a love gone bad on her new EP, The Bitter Suite.
It's been six years since the Dallas-based singer won a sizable number of fans with her debut album, Free, and those fans have been not-so-patiently waiting for more. Rodgers' full sophomore disc, Intermission, a complete story of a relationship gone good, then bad, then good again, will be coming later this Summer; but she is now issuing a big chunk of it (the "gone bad" part) with the digital release of The Bitter Suite.
Rodgers lets the listener (and her man) know from the get go where things stand, opening with a defiant tone on the neo-soul midtempo, "Tell Your Story": "Tell your story at the door / 'cause I've heard it all before / and now I'm not so sure if I want this love anymore." By the time of the terrific next song, the acoustic gem "Home," Carmen is more reflective but just as resolved to end the relationship: "You say you want to come home / but home is where the heart lived / and I just want to move on / so should you."
Male listeners be a bit unnerved by the interspersed table talk of a group of women throughout the disc, who verbally lump men into a pretty bad lot of liars and cheaters. And Rodgers feeds on that talk, vowing not to get hurt anymore on the nervous, jazzy "Never Again," another EP highlight. But as the disc approaches its coda, she begins to come around, realizing that there may be some value in all that damn pain, and she finishes in a more pensive mood on the ballad, "Better U Than Me."
The Bitter Suite has the benefit of holding together quite well as a thematic piece and having songs (particularly "Home," "Tell Your Story" and "Never Again") that can stand on their own as singles. But, like opening a book in the middle, one can't help but want to hear the whole story that surrounds The Bitter Suite, one that will be told on the full album, Intermission. For now Rodgers fans can celebrate the welcome, enjoyable return of the Texas musical chanteuse. But they'll want more...soon. Recommended.

- Tell us what's going on in Grand Rapids

Service to include ordinary mourners
EAST GRAND RAPIDS -- The list of mourners who attended the funeral service for Gerald R. Ford Tuesday at the Washington National Cathedral read like a Who's Who of the Beltway: past presidents, senators, congressmen, special assistants, deputy directors and associate counselors who recounted a statesman.
But those invited to this afternoon's funeral at Grace Episcopal Church include a share of folks who could be found in Grand Rapids-area phone books, people recalling a friend and a football player.
Phyllis Tillema included.
In acknowledging her stature compared to the powerful and influential in West Michigan, Tillema smiled and described herself as "so little that I'm not even on the radar."
Tillema was enjoying a quiet New Year's Day with her husband on Monday when the phone rang at 11 a.m. with news she was invited as one of about 400 people to fill Grace Episcopal Church.
"I was floored," said Tillema, whose claim to fame is working quietly in the background as a volunteer on projects here that involved or recognized Ford.
"It's a huge honor, an indescribable honor," she said, noting it's something she will be forever sharing with her six grandchildren.
Tillema echoed the same sort of sentiments swirling since Ford's death Dec. 26. During today's service, she said, she probably would focus on his quiet resolve.
"The thing that keeps coming back to me is what a gentle giant he was," she said. "And he was certainly someone that Grand Rapids will always be proud of."
Lin Joslin also was invited to bid a final farewell to the man with whom he played football while both men attended South High School here.
Joslin, 94, operated "a little knife factory in Howard City for six or seven years" before moving to Seattle, where he called on stores, peddling hair goods and other products.
"I'll be reminiscing," Joslin said simply of his time in the church today.
So will John Baab of Grand Rapids, who served 18 years as treasurer for the Gerald R. Ford Foundation. He and his wife, Janet, planned to attend the church service today, focused on "a man who was the same behind closed doors as he was in public -- one of integrity."
Today's service was to be patterned in many respects after the one that preceded it in Washington, D.C. Eulogies were to be delivered by former President Jimmy Carter, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and former Ford Museum Director Richard Norton Smith.
A complete list of guests was shared with officials at Grace, but with orders from federal officials that it not be made public.
"We can't even make a copy," said the Rev. Nixon McMillan, interim rector at the church.

New CEO takes the reins at Bell and Howell
While the way banks, utilities and other businesses send bills, statements and promotions will continue to change due to the rise in online bill paying and other trends, Ramesh Ratan said he believes there will always be some form of paper-based communication.
Communication "has been changing, it will continue to change," he said. "Companies will find (a change toward what) we call it multi-channel, omni-channel ways of using digital, paper, online, especially with the growth of mobile phones, smart phones."
Ratan is the chief executive of Durham-based Bell and Howell, a company that designs and sells machines that quickly cut, fold, insert and sort paper bills, statements and mailed advertisements in large volumes, as well as related software.
He started in the role of CEO in November after leaving Pitney Bowes, a larger, Connecticut-based publicly traded company that is a competitor of Bell and Howell's in the mail production equipment and software business.
While Bell and Howell is a private company that doesn't report its finances publicly, Pitney Bowes reported revenues of $939 million in the third quarter, down 1 percent from the prior year, and a net loss of $5.5 million.
For the Connecticut-based company, Ratan was president of the document messaging technologies division and president of marketing services solutions.
He's relocating to the Triangle to take charge of Bell and Howell, which has been headquartered in Durham since 2011.
In an interview Friday, Ratan was optimistic for the company's future due to the combination of the staff, his own vision for the company and the company's ownership.
Bell and Howell is a spin-out of Bowe Bell + Howell, which had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, and reached an agreement with a Philadelphia-based private equity firm, Versa Capital Management Inc. and a co-investment partner, Access Value Investors, for the acquisition of almost all of its assets.
Bell and Howell's headquarters shifted from Wheeling, Ill., after the business was launched from the sale of Bowe Bell + Howell assets.
Ratan said the company has been consolidating operations in Durham. In addition, he said it has reorganized along business lines such as mail inserting, sorting and software.
About 1,200 people work for the firm, about 250 of them in Durham. That's down from March 2012, when company officials reported about 350 employees in Durham and 1,600 in total.
He said the company wants to grow in Durham and is adding 15 to 20 manufacturing workers to the site on South Alston Avenue.
"Bell and Howell, in particular, has, I would say, between last year, this year, and the year before, stayed reasonably stable in terms of overall size of the company revenues," Ratan said. "But what we have been doing is consolidating as we face the reduction in first-class mail and those kinds of systems. We've been consolidating…more of our capabilities into the headquarters here in Durham."
The business operates in a world where the number of people who want to pay their bills electronically has continued to go up, and the volume of people receiving traditional, paper-based bills is declining. However, Ratan said the volume of people requesting electronic bills has stabilized, and so has direct-mail marketing.
According to the U.S. Postal Service's "The Household Diary Study" about mail use and attitudes, in 2012 only 40 percent of all bills were paid by mail. In 2002, 75 percent were paid by mail.
In the same time period, the percentage of bills paid electronically increased from 17 percent in 2002 to 56 percent. The survey also said there's been a decline in bills and statements received through the mail and an increase from a small base in statements received online.
The survey also found, however, that the number of packages sent and received, excluding CD and DVD rentals, was up 6.7 percent in 2012.
Ratan said the company wants to move into new areas, such as developing machines for parcel packaging to capitalize on the e-commerce trend of consumers buying goods online and having them shipped.
"The parcels, the creation of parcels, wrapping of parcels, the whole parcel business, is a complete new area for us," he said.
He said the company is working on updating and improving its technology. As an example, he said Bell and Howell has been working to grow its sorting equipment offerings. The company is now selling machines that do "inbound sorting," or sorting paper bills sent in by customers.
"There's still a lot of people who still write checks and send them back," he said. "These machines sort those (after they) come in."
He said he believes the company has a strong outlook.
"I think we're probably at the turnaround position of where we've probably done all the hard work, and now it's about keeping our focus on the finishing the execution of those decisions and actually growth in new areas," he said.

By Mark Hasty
GREEN BAY, Wisc. — The Green Bay Packers have more than 80,000 names on their waiting list for season tickets. If ever there was a football team that could get away with concession stands that sold nothing but cold hot dogs and instant coffee made from hot tap water, it would be the Pack. What are you going to do, threaten to cancel your season tickets unless they upgrade the food?
The Packers do care intensely about the fan experience at Lambeau, however. It's a point of civic pride for the NFL's only publicly-owned team. The people of Green Bay pride themselves not only on the Packers but on the overall quality of life in Titletown — and they have good reason to be proud.
The food served at Lambeau Field reflects this pride. It's Leo Dominguez's job to ensure that every Packer fan, from the luxury suite denizens to the average Joe or Jane in the bleachers, can find something good to eat at Lambeau. Dominguez, Levy Restaurants' executive chef at Lambeau, oversees a staff of 50 chefs and cooks along with untold servers and support personnel. He and his staff feed not only the fans but the media, the stadium staff, the players and the coaches.
Lambeau Field is a major Wisconsin tourist attraction. With the season ticket wait estimated at more than 900 years, there are a great many Packer fans who have come to accept they will never see a game inside Lambeau. They come anyway, year round, to shop in the Packers Pro Shop, take the stadium tour, visit the Packers Hall of Fame, or just have their pictures taken by the statues of Vince Lombardi and Earl "Curly" Lambeau. Many of them also stop for a beer and a bite at Curly's Pub, a year-round restaurant and sports bar located inside Lambeau.
Chef Dominguez and I sat down inside Curly's Pub last week to discuss what goes in to making sure the Packers and their fans get fed. His enthusiasm for his job is palpable and contagious. He described some of the new products offered at Lambeau's concession stands this year, including a Frickle Burger (a burger topped with cream cheese and deep fried pickle slices) and the Titletown Pile-Up. When Dominguez first mentioned the latter, I envisioned some of that "tall food" that has been trendy in recent years. I was wrong. The Titletown Pile-Up is six minature Johnsonville bratwursts dipped in corn dog batter, deep fried, then skewered and served on a bed of fried cheese curds. That's Wisconsin for you.
Lambeau is the only NFL stadium that sells more brats than hot dogs, and that shouldn't surprise you. Dominguez also told me pizza is one of the more popular items at the concession stands though, when he showed me the inside of a typical concession stand, he tapped the handle of a beer tap and said, "Of course, this is our biggest seller." That's also Wisconsin for you.
Dominguez also took me on a tour of the club level seating, where the team has recently begun offering in-seat food service. Servers take patrons' orders and bring the food back, nicely avoiding the lines at the stands. The Packers offer premium food for the club-level patrons, including made-to-order chicken wings with a variety of sauces, international foods, and a rotating menu of regional specialties based on the visiting team's home city. "New Orleans" — Green Bay's opening week opponent — "was real easy," Dominguez joked.
"Minnesota is probably a bit harder," I offered. (I spent seven years in Minnesota, three of them in the Twin Cities, and never did feel like I found much good to eat.)
"Yeah," he chuckled. "Minnesota and Denver are a little bit tougher." For what it's worth, Dominguez was the executive chef at Denver's Pepsi Center before taking the Lambeau Field job. If he says it's tough to find foods that say "Denver," you may safely assume he knows what he's talking about. You can only eat so many omelettes, after all.
Nothing says Wisconsin quite like a bratwurst, of course, and Dominguez says he had to learn how to fix brats the way Packer fans like them. He told me the brats at Lambeau are grilled first, then simmered in beer and onions. "I learned people in Wisconsin like the brats a little charred on the outside," he said. This is true. Maybe even beyond true. I've manned the grill for at least one charitable brat fry a year for the last nine years. We get people who specifically ask for their brats burnt.
Dominguez also took me inside one of Lambeau's luxury boxes and described the challenges involved in keeping those high-paying customers satisfied. "They have a menu to choose from and a deadline every week," he told me. "They might say, 'Okay, I want brats, I want popcorn, I want sodas, and I want 24 Coronas.' " Dominguez and his staff will fill their requests. That sounds reasonable until you find out Lambeau has 176 luxury boxes. If you gave me a staff of 500 I doubt I could get that right.
Still, as persnickety as luxury box holders can be (for the record, Dominguez didn't complain about them at all; the man must have the patience of a van-load of saints), the team itself has some very specific requests as well. Dominguez works with a Packers nutrition specialist and the team's strength and conditioning coach to ensure the players get proper nutrition not just on game days but during training camp, minicamps and OTAs. "We try to serve 'clean' foods," he told me. "No marinades, minimal seasonings, stuff like that." Players have multiple food choices at all meals. When I asked him if the players had any favorites, he gave a surprising answer. "We go through a staggering amount of fresh fruit: bananas, pineapples, and such." The Packers offer a smoothie station at all meals, which probably explains it. Dominguez also mentioned sushi was a recent, popular addition to the training table and the team has also developed an organic menu.
He didn't challenge my description of his task as "impossibly diverse." How could it be otherwise when he has to serve upwards of 70,000 people on game days? Still, it's one thing to set out food for that many folks. It's something else entirely to do it well. Just how is the food at Lambeau, anyway?
To find out, Dominguez offered me five selections from the menu at Curly's Pub. The first was the Baked Macaroni and Beer Cheese (above). Now, beer cheese soup I'd certainly heard of. It's all over the place in Wisconsin, though it's hard to find it done well. This was the first time I'd ever heard of macaroni and cheese made with a beer cheese sauce, however.
Dominguez told me the macaroni itself is boiled in beer, then mixed with a sauce made with beer and three cheeses (cheddar, provolone and cream), topped with more cheese and baked. The sheer amount of cheese — it pulled off the plate in long, floppy strings — made me fear that the beer would be undetectable. It wasn't. The flavor of the beer, which was obviously not low-budget swill, blended so well with the cheese that neither flavor dominated. You'd probably have to run at least a half marathon to burn off the calories from a single serving, but I suspect you would think it was worth it.
Next he offered me the Beer Cheese and Bacon Burger, a standard grilled bar burger topped with Curly's signature beer cheese spread and two strips of bacon, served on a pretzel roll. The burger was, to my taste, perfectly done — nicely charred and seasoned on the outside, slightly pink but firm and hot inside. The cheese spread on top was simply delicious, a simple blend of little more than beer and cheese according to the chef. The combination of an already-great burger with superior cheese spread, fully crispy bacon and a great roll made this an instant addition to my list of the top five burgers I've ever eaten. It may even be the very best. I'd drive to Green Bay just to eat it again, and I live more than two hours away.
I also tried two brats, one a standard brat topped with kraut. Brats are tricky to cook, particularly if you do as Dominguez does and grill them from raw. They're fatty and prone to flareups which can lead to brats burnt on the outside and still oinking in the middle. That's why I usually precook mine in beer and onions. The postgrilling simmer is also popular, except I've noticed people tend to simmer them too long, leading to a brat which is dry and chewy on the inside.
No such problems with the brats at Lambeau. It was perfectly done, topped with a pile of soft, mild sauerkraut that was imbued with deep flavor. I mentioned to Dominguez how so often the kraut is an afterthought, just dumped out of a can, maybe heated up and maybe not. "You've done something to this, though, haven't you?" I asked, which brought a huge smile from the chef. Even a kraut hater would probably find this kraut unobjectionable; it was just salty and sharp enough to cut the fattiness of the brat without whacking you in the nose with the aroma of fermented cabbage.
The other brat I tried was a new item called the Pigskin Pile-On. That's a standard brat (they will also make it with a hot dog) topped with pulled pork in barbecue sauce. Dominguez told me the barbecue comes from Saz's, a Milwaukee-area barbecue institution. I first forked up a little bite of the pork. Typically Upper Midwestern pulled pork isn't very smoky, is frequently overcooked, and is always over-sauced. The Saz's meat could have been smokier and I wouldn't have minded less sauce, though at least Saz's sauce isn't so sweet you could serve it over ice cream. The meat, to my surprise, was not overcooked but perfectly done. Very impressive.
But still … pulled pork on a brat? It's a strange combination and it may not be for everyone, but I liked it. I now believe chocolate syrup and edamame are the only foods I haven't seen put on top of a brat here in the Badger State.
The two brats also came with sweet potato fries which are made from scratch in Curly's kitchen. I've tried sweet potato fries before but plain ones are, well, plain, while the more creative versions typically add so much cinnamon and sugar that they cross the line from side dish to dessert. The sweet potato fries at Curly's are lightly battered and seasoned with savory rather than sweet spices. The light hand on the seasoning enhances the natural flavor of the sweet potatoes to a most wonderful extent. They were the best sweet potato fries I've ever eaten.
Curly's offers pot roast both as a dinner and as a sandwich. I tried the sandwich, served on a chewy white roll and topped with gravy and chunks of vegetables. Freshly grated horseradish comes on the side. I first tried the sandwich without it. The meat was tender but not to the point where it couldn't be sliced. The carrots and onions added to the sandwich's Sunday-dinner qualities, and the gravy-soaked roll was as delicious as gravy-soaked rolls are meant to be. Adding horseradish made the sandwich come alive. The horseradish was impeccably fresh. That's important, because grated horseradish grows more pungent as it sits. This horseradish clearly had just met a grater. It had a good earthy punch but wasn't rocket-hot.
The last thing I tried was the Rockwood Lodge Burger, an item Dominguez told me has been on Curly's menu since it opened. Taking its name from the Packers' first dedicated training facility, the burger is topped with cheddar cheese, sauerkraut, and a split and grilled Louisiana hot link sausage. It sounds like, and is, another strange combination, but like the Pigskin Pile-On, it works. The disparate flavors actually complement one another well, though I suspect it would taste just as good with spicy brown mustard in place of the cheese. (Such mustard is on the tables at Curly's.)
So there you have it. I tried five things and, while I didn't like them all equally well, I did like them all well enough to say that any sports fans who make a Titletown pilgrimage should try to eat a meal at Curly's Pub. It would be even better still to taste Dominguez's tasty grub the way it was meant to be eaten, in front of a roaring football game, but there are only eight home dates per year and you're not getting tickets without a whole bunch of cash. Curly's is open almost every day year round (though it is restricted to only ticket holders on home game days until 45 minutes after the game ends) and the least you can expect is that you'll have a great meal inside one of the most iconic venues in American sport. Like every aspect of the Lambeau experience, the food goes far beyond what the Packers could get away with. We approve.

Brightness in the heart of darkness
A senior Muslim delegation visits Auschwitz-Birkenau
By: Yosef Tastassa
International Holocaust Day
The international Holocaust day was marked throughout the world last week. On January 27th, 1945 the Red Army liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. In 2005 the United Nations general assembly declared January the 27th as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
On this day ceremonies take place throughout the world, many of them on the soil of Poland in which most of the European Jewry were exterminated in death camps during 1939 – 1945.
Senior Muslims in Auschwitz
An important event took place on Tuesday. 150 senior Muslim figures arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau in order to commemorate with the six million Jewish victims.
Among the members of the Muslim delegation were Abdoulaye Wade, the President of Senegal from West-Africa, former states' leaders, diplomats, and academics from Iraq, Turkey and other parts of the Muslim world.
The Muslim delegation was escorted by Jews and Christians, among them Rabbis and Priests. The senior Jewish figure was Israel's former chief Rabbi Yisrael-Meir Lau, who is a Holocaust survivor. The German senior representative was the former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder.
Another important figure in the Muslim delegation was Karim Lahiji, President of the Iranian League for the defense of human rights.
The organizers considered the visit extremely important as most participants come from countries that are systematically denying the Holocaust and encouraging hatred and Anti-Semitism.
Holocaust denial
The world's No. 1 leader of the Holocaust denial today is the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Iranians claim that the Holocaust is a myth that was invented by the Jews and the western world in order to create legitimacy for the existence of the State of Israel and the continuous suppression of the Palestinians.
According to the Iranian philosophy, If Israel will lose legitimacy in the world it will be easier to strike it with no significant reaction from the world, especially the west.
Hamas' official line is also denying the Holocaust. All Hamas leaders say that it's nothing but a myth and a lie against the Palestinians. Haj Amin Al-Husseini was the senior spiritual leader of the Arab population during the British Mandate in Eretz-Israel. During world war II he met Adolph Hitler in Berlin on November 28th 1941. Hitler promised to Husseini that he plans to exterminate all the Jews in the Arab territories that are ruled by the British Empire.
The current Palestinian leader, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), who negotiates for peace with Israel, was also accused of Holocaust denial. In his 1982 PhD work from a Russian university, Abbas questioned and doubted the number of Jews that were murdered in the Holocaust.
Jewish-Muslim relationships
Some of us tend to see the Muslims as enemies of Israel and the Judaism. This is understandable when hearing the voices from Iran, Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda and some of the Palestinian extremist organizations. The continuous Israeli-Palestinian conflict does not help calm those feeling from both sides.
As Jews, we should also remember and cherish the periods when Muslims and Jews lived in harmony or even when Muslims protected the Jews in some historical occasions.
During World War II, many Muslim families from the Balkan hid Jews in their houses and exposed themselves to the rage of the Nazi army. Some families paid with their lives for that protection. After the war ended, the State of Israel recognized the benevolence of those families and they were honored as "Righteous among the Nations".
During World War II, Muhammad the fifth King of Morocco defended the Jews in his country and saved them from the Nazis and the fascist regime in Southern France. King Muhammad the fifth saw the Jews as a part of his nation and thought that they should have the same rights that Muslims do.
The most famous Jewish-Muslim cooperation was in Muslim Spain between 711-1492 CE. The Jewish culture, literature and spiritual life flourished under the Muslim rule and it is known as the "Golden Era". Many of today's scripts, literature and philosophy were written during those days.
Jewish-Muslim relationship knew good times and hard times during history. The visit of 150 Muslims in Auschwitz-Birkenau is a symbol of respect, tolerance and understanding of others. There is no other way or attitude towards peace.

Over the past few years, much of the focus on social media has been how consumers are using Facebook, Twitter, et al, and how brands have embraced social media to engage with consumers.
Lost within this flurry of activity has been how social media has been embraced internally by companies looking to leverage the benefits of social media without having to deal with the non-work downsides or distractions. Slowly but surely, social media appears to be gaining significant tractions as a way to improve corporate communications, productivity and efficiency.
This was highlighted in a recent New York Times story about how the growing number of companies using internal social media tools such as Chatter, a social networking service created by Salesforce.com, and Yammer, a corporate version of Twitter.
The slow adoption of social media by business users is not terribly surprising given how change, in general, doesn't happen very quickly within the corporate landscape. While consumers have been wildly enthusiastic about social media, many businesses are still trying to get their heads around whether it is something they should use as a communications, marketing and sales tool. It is difficult, therefore, for these businesses to also consider the use of social media internally.
That said, the internal use of social media may be an easier and safer way for companies to embrace social media. With a growing number of corporate social media players, companies can figure out the benefits of social media to improve their businesses, and then shift the focus to external audiences.
This approach would let them experiment, make mistakes and learn without public scrutiny. At the same time, it might also help to justify the importance and ROI of social media.
It might be premature to declare 2011 to be the year of the social enterprise but there is no doubt social media is gaining more traction as an internal tool.
This trend is likely bound to gain momentum as more services are created for corporate users. And as more companies use these kind of tools, it will encourage other companies to climb on the bandwagon.

Bradford's Diamond Jubilee celebrations got off to a sizzling start at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community's Al-Mahdi Mosque.
Overlooking the whole of the city from its lofty location in Rees Way, Undercliffe, the mosque welcomed its members and neighbours to a family fun day and feast.
The Mosque started its jubilee celebrations early when some of its members raised about £10,000 for the Queen's chosen charities taking part in a 10km walk from the Tower of London.
Dr Mohammed Iqbal, who is the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association's Bradford North President, said: "We believe good things should be celebrated and the Queen is an excellent example of that."
Special prayers were also said for the Queen and copies of a book called A Gift Four Our Queen written by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association's founder for Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee were reprinted and sent to Buckingham Palace to keep up the long historial link with the Royal family, said Dr Iqbal.

Web-surfing like a Christian
Posted by Erin under Religion, Web Surfing

Well, not necessarily. I'd be hard pressed to identify a Christian way to surf. But here is some Jesus-related and Christian-themed stuff on the web. In honor of the first day of Lent.
What Would Jesus Blog? A blog in the voice of Jesus, if he were a tongue-in-cheek 20-something white guy who keeps up on the college radio scene.

Lark News. Fake Christian news, once a month. Hi-larryous.
Bored Again Christian. Podcasts of below-the-radar-but-still-pretty-good music.
I just googled "how to web surf like a Christian" for the heck of it and hit this Christianity on the Web metasite.
Sacred Spaces, the interactive Jesuit prayer site. I go there a lot.
Salt is a monthly e-zine where I publish sometimes.
And my Jesus Camp review just came out on Next Wave, another monthly e-zine.
Of course there's the old stalwart, Christianity Today.
I dig Image for poetry and fiction and discussion of the arts.
And Sojourners keeps me up to speed on the latest in peace and justice.
I think maybe I spend too much time surfing. Yet I'll ask the question anyway: what am I missing?

Secretary Salazar Presents the Three Mountain Alliance Watershed Partnership with Partners in Conservation Award
Contact: Brian Tsai
(202) 208-6416
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today presented a Partners in Conservation Award to the Three Mountain Alliance Watershed Partnership for their work in Hawaii.
It was one of 26 national awards to individuals and organizations presented at a ceremony at Interior headquarters in Washington, D.C. to honor "those who achieve natural resource goals in collaboration and partnership with others."
The 26 Partners in Conservation Awards recognize conservation achievements resulting from the cooperation and participation of a total of 600 individuals and organizations including landowners; citizens' groups; private sector and nongovernmental organizations; and federal, state, local, and/or tribal governments.
"The Partners in Conservation Awards demonstrate that our greatest conservation legacies often emerge when stakeholders, agencies, and citizens from a wide range of backgrounds come together to address shared challenges," the Secretary said. "The Three Mountain Alliance has reduced the abundance of the most threatening invasive plants and animal species over large sections of the partnership area to assist with the recovery of native Hawaiian forest and rare and endangered birds and plants. "
The three mountains of Kilauea, Mauna Loa and Hualalai are culturally significant to Hawaiians and critically important to the life, health and well being of the native ecosystems and human communities that inhabit them. This partnership has become the largest cooperative land management effort in the state of Hawaii.
"These 26 awards recognize the dedicated efforts of 600 people from all walks of life, from across our nation– and from across our borders with Canada and Mexico," Salazar noted. "They celebrate partnerships that conserve and restore our nation's treasured landscapes and watersheds, partnerships that engage Native American communities, and partnerships that engage youth."List the individuals and groups

I am hoping to hear some anecdotal experiences here! I am sure I am not the only one who has always gained a lot with my pgs (and had big babies). I didn't eat terrible at all but didn't pay much attention or deprive myself. I ate very healthy 80-90% of the time but often ate a lot. LOL I gained at least 50+ lbs with all my pgs although a lot at the end was water weight as well.
This time around after my last baby being an ounce short of 10 lbs, I am taking a stand against my bad habits and paying close attention to what I'm actually eating. I am using babyfit to monitor what I am actually putting in my mouth. I've always gained even in the first trimester because I get so nauseated and eat to feel better even for a short time. I have always been active and this has not affected my babies' birthweights.
I am almost 9 weeks and thrilled to report I am down 4 lbs...I am eating very healthy and avoiding junk food and sugar except for a very occasional (small) indulgence. I am sure I lost a little muscle as well as I was on modified bedrest for a few weeks. But I am finally on top of things and feel like I am doing really well! My nausea is still there but surprisingly isn't worse with eating better and less.
It might be important to know that I am a healthy weight for height and always lose what I gain, even if it takes quite a few months.
SOOOO after all of that history I would like to ask if anyone here has gained much less with a subsequent pregnancy by eating more carefully and had a much smaller baby??
With the complications I have had in the past I would like to make a go at changing it and hopefully having an easier birth. I suppose you can teach an old dog new tricks! LOL

homeschooling mama to 4 wonderful girls, and 1 boy! praying for #6, sch, due 4/14/2013!
I considered not posting, but....
Let me start by saying that I am overweight, about 240 pounds.
My first pregnancy I gained less then ten pounds, but had a 9 pounder- though I did have GD, but managed it with diet until the last two weeks.
This pregnancy, I'm at nearly 30 weeks and have just broken my prepregnancy weight, I have GD again so I don't know how big this one is yet.
I'm curious to hear others' experiences as well. I am a lower than average weight for my height. I gained 65 lbs with DS1 who was 11lbs 14oz and gained 40-45 (can't remember) with DS2 who was 8lbs 1oz. I ate the same diet with both, mostly healthy vegetarian however I indulged my sweet tooth quite often-- but I felt MUCH hungrier with DS1 from the start and therefore ate more. This time around (I'm now 18 weeks) I've barely gained a pound whereas with my other pregnancies I was already up 20 or 10, respectively. So I'm curious if this means I'm having a little 6 or 7 pounder!
Just a question to the OP, do you think overeating is to blame for a larger baby? Everyone's experience is different, but with DS1 I felt SO MUCH hungrier than I ever had in my life and therefore ate more because my body demanded it. That wasn't the case with DS2 or with this current pregnancy. Do you think your body just needs the extra calories, or are you stuffing yourself to the point of being uncomfortable?
Jean, feminist mama raising three boys: W (7), E (5) and L (2.15.13)
I overate a lot in my four other pregnancies. Not always healthy food either. I gained 45-55 with all of them and my babies were 7lbs 11oz - 6lbs 5oz. So for me personally, high weight gain does not equal a big baby. This pregnancy I am grain-free and paying much more attention to what I eat. I started this pregnancy 14lbs higher than my last and now at almost 17 weeks am right around my starting weight and am lighter than I was at the same point with my last baby.. (I gained 20 lbs by 20 weeks with him!) I am very curious how big this baby will be. My last two were 6lbs 5oz, I don't need them to get any smaller!!
For background, I am a healthy weight/BMI to start off. With my 2nd, I gained about 50lbs and had a 9lb 8oz baby. With my 3rd, I gained 26lbs and had a 9lb 5oz baby. I started both pregnancies at very similar weights. This time, I have gained just 20lbs (@38w) starting from the same weight as the previous two. This baby is looking like it might be a bit smaller, but only time will tell. I do have a GD diagnosis this time, but it is well and easily controlled with diet. IF the baby is smaller, I have to credit the GD diet as it really has changed my eating habits. My weight gain also pretty much stopped when I started it.

Mama to 10 babies in Heaven
I have varied widely. My best pg was my first, I didn't eat that much, was very active, gained 19lbs and she was 6.13. That also was the only pg where I was not sick or have severe food aversions. She was a 38 weeker.
With DD2, I had normal morning sickness, but severe limitations on what I could eat. I also stopped weighing myself so I have no idea from this pg on, what actual weight I gained but I have a good guess. She was 6.11 and I think I gained about 35 lbs. Obviously all the extra weight just went to my butt then her. Another baby born at 38 weeks as well.
With DS1, I ate crap, the entire pg. I gained about 45 lbs, he was 40 weeks and 8lbs 13ozs.
DS2 I ate crap again, a lot of it. Probably close to 45lb weight gain, if not more. He was 7.12. I don't doubt he was on track to be DS1's size had he not decided to come at 38 weeks exactly.
Just a question to the OP, do you think overeating is to blame for a larger baby? Everyone's experience is different, but with DS1 I felt SO MUCH hungrier than I ever had in my life and therefore ate more because my body demanded it. That wasn't the case with DS2 or with this current pregnancy. Do you think your body just needs the extra calories, or are you stuffing yourself to the point of being uncomfortable?
I'm not entirely sure, but I now that I am actually paying attention to calories, carbs, etc. I can see that I was overeating. I was always sooo hungry despite that but I think I was overindulging in carbs and sometimes sugar/fat which seemed to make me even more hungry. I had such a big butt! LOL so I know it sure didn't all go to baby! I really tried to eat healthy much of the time but I think I didn't realise where I was sneaking in too much because of hunger. My metabolism slows down or something while pg because I can eat what I want just about when I am not pg and still stay a healthy weight fairly easily. When I'm pg I LOOK at a donut and gain a lb! I had a ton of water weight at the end as well but I wonder if that too could be magnified by the extra weight itself? I go late which I know makes a difference in weight (they've all been 1-2 weeks past my dd), but often near the end I would stop weighing myself and give in to cravings more because I felt I deserved it waiting so long!
With the m/s I never vomited but I have nasty 24/7 nausea that seems to only feel better when I am actually eating. Therefore I would nibble constantly and still feel terrible. Eating less I feel gross still but not worse and at least not overfull. So it really hasn't been bad. Every other pg I have gained 12+ lbs in the first trimester so that is where I am trying to start the change. I know baby doesn't need it at that point and that I don't need extra calories in the first trimester so I have finally leveled with myself that even though I was coping as best as I could at the time, it was too much.
I have always been someone who has gained a lot and had healthy pgs and babies (albeit big) but very long difficult labours. Now I don't know if this change will impact weight and/or my delivery but I know it is better for mine and baby's health. I don't eat perfectly all the time but if I want a treat it is a SMALL one. I am just realising that I need to keep track of these things or it will get out of control, and just because I maintain a healthy weight and am slim outside of pg doesn't mean that is a good idea to continue while pg. It is probably worse because I am not used to needing self control normally! LOL
Honestly I have told myself all these years that it is just how I gain and there's nothing I can do about it but I think that was the easy way for me to avoid facing it head on and taking a harder look at what i am taking in.

SAHM - to DD 11/30/06 DS1 1/03/10 DS2 9/24/12 Baby 4.0 EDD 7/2015
I gained 60 lbs with my first, he was 9.15 (42weeks). I was cautioned to gain less with the next one to increase my chances of VBAC. I gained 45 lbs, and he was 9.6 (40weeks). So in my opinion, it makes not a stitch of difference.
ETA: I started each pregnancy at a healthy weight, and had no GD. Also, the VBAC was not a success, but I think it was more due to malpresentation than size. But who knows.
Let me start by saying that Im only 5' tall. I gained 27 lbs with DD, and she was 6 lbs 8 oz. I gained 10 lbs with DS and he was 7 lbs even. He weighed more than she did with 17 lbs less weight gain! With her I ate crap. I used pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything I wanted- A box of poptarts, candy bars, whole boxes of macaroni and cheese, etc- all in front of the tv. With DS, I still ate about 2500 calories a day, but it was in much healthier doses. Plus, I stayed way more active. This time around Im pg with twins, and I am struggling to eat enough to gain. I'm eating at least 3000 calories every day and still have only gained a total of 8 lbs, at 18 weeks. My goal was 20# by 20 weeks, not going to happen. I've eaten so much healthy food though, and I've been eating a ton of protein every day (Ok, so I did eat almost a whole box of lucky charms yesterday....).
At any rate- in my experience, baby's dont weigh any more just because you gain a whole bunch of weight, but you sure do have a bunch more to lose when it's over :)

SIDS happens.
I don't think it makes that much of a difference unless you are talking about the extremes of hugely overeating or drastically undereating KWIM?
I started both pregnancies at a healthy weight, although 5-10 pounds heavier with the second one. I gained about 40 pounds with dd, she was 8 lb 9 oz at 41 weeks. I gained closer to 50 lb with ds, he was 9 lb 2 oz at 39 weeks. My sister also had big babies (between 9 and 10 lb) and I don't think she gained above the "normal" range of weight. A friend who is just about my size gained a very similar amount of weight for all her babies and they were all in the 6.5-7.5 lb weight range. I think it has more to do with your genetics and the baby's :)
Has anyone seen this interesting study?
Variation in newborn size according to pregnancy weight change by trimester
It concluded that the newborn size was influenced more by first trimester weight change than in 2nd or 3rd trimesters. That would be a great sign for me.

That's funny--I don't think I've gained any weight in the first tri with any of my kids! Maybe I'm glad...
8g, 7g, 4b, 2g
My last pregnancy I gained 80lbs. and she was 8lbs. I've gained less with bigger babies. Actually when she came out so much smaller than the last two we were joking about having another one in there still.
I wonder if we could try something different...could you ladies share what you gained in the first trimester, and what baby's birthweight was? I gained about a lb a week even in my first trimesters with my previous pgs, and obviously my babies were all big: 8lb 9oz, 9lbs 3oz, 9 lbs13 oz, 9 lbs 7 oz, 9 lbs 15 oz.
The study I was looking at compared losing weight in the first trimester to women who gained more than average and the latter babies weighed 7 oz more on average. That may not sound like much but it does to me when I consider my babies' weights! ;)

SIDS happens.
I don't think weight gain has anything to do with baby size. i gained a LOT of weight with DS, didn't weight myself at the end but i would guess it was about 60 pounds. He was born 6.9 pounds. my mom also gained 60 pounds with my sister who was 6.3 pounds and only 30 lbs with me, and i was 7.14 ounces.
even though small babies run in my and DH's family, i was surprised DS was only 6.9. but looking back, even though i gained a lot, i did not have a big appetite at all. in the first trimester i probably didn't eat enough!
love of DH and mama to DS born 1/12
Don't remember numbers but I lost weight and gained less overall with three bigger babies.
Well anecdotes sure don't seem to be confirming that hope, are they? :S
Cindy, loving wife of 15 years
homeschooling mama to 4 wonderful girls, and 1 boy! praying for #6, sch, due 4/14/2013!
I usually don't gain much if any (DD1 and this one I start out the second trimester less than PP weight).
DD1- 40 lb gain total- 10 lbs, 5 oz baby
DD2- 22 lb gain total- 9 lbs, 12 oz baby
I have gained 3-5 lbs at almost 19 weeks and I am interested in seeing how much this baby BOY weighs.
SAHM to Chloe«- 6/2008 (10 lbs, 5 oz), Hannah- 9/2010 (9 lbs, 12 oz), Liam- 2/2013 (9 lbs, 6 oz)
I gained 80lbs the first time and had an 8lb13oz baby and then 10 yrs later I had hyperemesis with ds2 and gained ZERO lbs, I literally lost weight through the whole pg and gave birth lighter than when I conceived. Ds2 was 9lb0.5oz. Probaby not what you wanted to hear haha

"Good" Coffee Shops in New York City
Ami Shavit, "Alpha 1″
I don't want it to be Monday any more than you do; hell, I don't even want it to be August. August means September, and September leads to fall. And after autumn… I was walking along the river early yesterday evening and, watching the light still shining brightly on the water flowing by, it suddenly occurred to me that if I somehow make it through the next six months my only reward will be misery and cold and sunset before six. Winter waits patiently for summer to die and any joy you are able to extract from these hot, endless days is just fuel for the fire of its terrible, inevitable revenge. The darkness is not gone, it's only resting. Anyway, good morning. Here is "an accidental new age record" aimed at instilling "a calm, relaxed and meditative mood associated with alpha brain waves." Enjoy.
New York City, July 30, 2015
★★★★ Clear sun from the east met charcoal-gray clouds in the west. A short while later, the first shower had already wetted the streets and gone. A wheel of the scooter ran through a little clump of smoldering tobacco fibers on the damp sidewalk; a tiny rooster tail of water flared when the scooter crossed a decorated Con Edison manhole. The air felt pre-sweated into. The breeze off the river made a brave roar in the ears but carried less than one block inland. Ambient vapors made the phone's touchscreen finicky. In the unfinished office, every crackle of the plastic sheeting sounded like driving rain. Real rain came again and left again, with the sun behind it. There was enough time to walk to lunch, but a lunch companion running a few minutes late came in rain-spattered. That rain passed too, and it began to feel as if the showers were being personally obliging, even as flood warnings thrummed through the 1 train—an illusion that lasted up to 66th Street, where exiting passengers cleared the turnstiles and stopped in shock, with audible exclamation. Rain was hammering the stairways, exploding into whiteness, the splash on each step going higher than the tread. A train pulling away drew the spray after it, over the crowd. People came down the stairs utterly drenched, clothes saturated and drooping. After a few minutes, the cataract seemed to have subsided to a mere downpour, enough to tempt escape. But if what was falling had diminished at all, it was fully offset by the swirling waters underfoot. Two blocks was enough to flood the shoes, while a renewed deluge soaked through the shirt and left hair wet to the scalp. The day-camp pickup would require a detour: dry t-shirt, dry socks, rubber-bottomed boots, and the rain jacket, with the child's boots and rain jacket in a bag. In the minutes it had taken to pull the gear together, the barrage of rain had ceased. The sun began to burn through, and the waterproof equipment became pure encumbrance. What was running down the face now was sweat. Another cycle—or two?—would pass, with lightning and pelting water, before a compact but vivid sunset certified it was over.
"Good" Coffee Shops in New York City
Seven years ago, literally no one in New York even drank coffee, which was exclusively consumed and commented on by snobs on the West Coast, before the Cascadian Subduction Zone and drought forced everyone to move to Kansas. Now, through the miracle of trade, there is fancy—or fancy-seeming—coffee in every neighborhood in New York City, and even in some of its most miserable suburbs. Some of this Fancy Coffee is very good*! Most of it is not, although a number of diplomatic guides to good coffee in New York might make it seem otherwise. What follows is a proper categorization of most of the city's "good" coffee shops—whether they are Actually Good, Perfectly Okay, or In Fact Bad—listed in no particular order.
Very Good Shops
Everyman Espresso (but the West Broadway location is the best)
Joe (Pro Shop only)
Hi Collar (if you pick the correct coffee, anyway, which, hint, NOT Porto Rico)
Culture Espresso (usually, but always if you get a cookie)
Parlor Coffee (I think so anyway!)
Boxkite (it was, anyway, though I haven't been since its founding manager left, so ymmv)
Sweetleaf (at least, before it started roasting its own, so ymmv right now)
Abraco (not because of the coffee, though, which ranges from fine to bad)
Blue Bottle Siphon Bar (Chelsea location, and only the siphon bar)
Variety (uuuusually but it is only okay or even bad with enough occasion for me to remark upon it)
"He claimed he rides a motorbike to fight crime, protecting the public from knife crime and gang warfare. But we can reveal 'The Renegade', who said he lives near Nuneaton but in fact lives in a Leicestershire village, fabricated a number of claims about his activities. It's understood he does plan to tackle criminals in the area – but isn't currently able to because he has no bike and works in the evenings."#
Haiku Salut, "Bleak and Beautiful (All Things)"
The weekend, she is so close! You can see her and you don't even need to squint! But beware: Suddenly it will be Sunday night and you will say to yourself, "Why, just a moment ago I was carefree and filled with anticipation, yet now all I hold in my heart is dread and regret." It is inevitable. You will waste this weekend like you waste all weekends, particularly the summer ones. They set you up for failure and you don't go out of your way to make it any harder for them to win. But right now, at this moment, all you are is promise and potential. Let's pretend that this time you're not going to fuck it up. Enjoy.
So You Want to Write a Shipwreck Song
I collect songs about shipwrecks and other maritime disasters, including mutinies, desertions, ghost ships, naval battles, pirate attacks, and as in one prototypical Decemberists song, murdering your nemesis after being swallowed by a whale. So far, I've compiled a list of more than fifty songs (with many variations on each). The best shipwreck songs contain some universal elements, which you would do well to include in your own maritime disaster tune.
1. Select a maritime disaster. The most popular era for singable shipwrecks is 1830-1910. The most recent wreck on my list is the Captain Torres, which went down in 1989. James Keelaghan's song of the same name is tremendous, yet the fact that the grieving families are still alive today compromises the guiltless thrill of romanticizing the distant dead.
2. Your song should be named "The Wreck of" followed by the name of the ship. Don't get creative.
3. Take the name of the place the ship is heading, then add the suffix -town. The Bay Rupert was on course for Melbourne-town; in "The Wreck of the Caspian," Boston-town. In "The Wreck of the Ellan Vannin," one of the very greatest disaster songs, "Her hold was full and battened down/As she sailed towards far Liverpool-town."
4. But aren't you really going—to hell? In "The Wreck of the C.P. Yorke," "though 'twas the mate stood watch at her wheel/'Twas the devil that guided her way." In "Whaler's Cove," an otherworldly whale conspires "to send us whalers straight to hell." In "The Wreck of the Ellan Vannin," the line "this little ship was bound for hell" is absolutely thrilling, and Richard Hawley really nails it on the delivery, too.
5. What is the ship's mission? Be very specific here. The Edmund Fitzgerald was "coming back from some mill in Wisconsin" and "concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms/When they left fully loaded for Cleveland"—"with a load of iron ore twenty-six thousand tons more/than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty." The Ellan Vannin was delivering the mail. Other doomed ships were carrying cargo, exploring the poles, or ferrying emigrants. But the absolute best reason to go a-sea is to hunt whales, because now your song has whales in it.

The Ring Tone Variations
"The audio logo of Deutsche Telekom has been part of Germany's mobile phone culture from the very beginning so it acted as a starting point to question the usual concepts for ring tones. Using Christian Kellersmann's idea of the »Pocket Symphony« ten artists were invited to come up with adaptations of Telekom's audio logo…. As you will hear: The short motif, as simple and unforgettable as it is, is ideal musical material. Everyone knows it, everyone has some sort of connection to it and these ten different versions, these ten different positions, open up the most varied possibilities for associations. It is time that we take the ring tone seriously again. As the most reduced musical form that is the most-widely available in the whole world it contains enormous and unrealised potential!"
—Your tolerance for this one will, like your metaphorical mileage, vary, but then I have heard the argument that part of what makes life so interesting is the astounding level of variety to it. I do not agree with the argument, but people do make it, so I am just putting it out there to provide a possibility of unexpected delight on your part. I personally find this to be terrific and the most I can hope for is that you are also entertained, but even if that turns out not to be the case I assure you that there will be more music on the way and you are bound to find some of it pleasing, so hold on just a little bit longer. The rest of you are urged to enjoy. Related: some history.
New York City, July 29, 2015
★ "What am I smelling?" the three-year-old said, out in the noisome morning. "I think I'm smelling W—'s dirty feet." The heat was not so bad, for a minute, on the walk toward the river, but on the way back, facing into a sun a few minutes higher, it was. Lane markings and crosswalks and crushed garbage had been added to the blank fresh new blacktop of Amsterdam Avenue. The day would stay as it had been: brutal but weak-willed. In the afternoon, a shady avenue seemed bearable; rounding the corner onto a cross street in full sun and grill-cart smoke was like stepping off an elevator into Hell. The evening was not too hot for trailing a scooter back and forth, but it was too humid for it. A stranger on the plaza held forth on how miserable his own day had been, bicycling around and stopping off to change.

Hope everyone had a safe Halloween and stayed warm over the weekend. This week's North Division Review is going to be short and sweet so without further adieu let's get to it.
With a heavy schedule in November for most teams, it is an opportunity to gain some valuable points in the standings before the Christmas break. This month will also see a host of divisional games which could provide a lot of excitement for fans!
North Division Game of the Week Review: Newmarket Hurricanes 3 - 4 Lindsay Muskies
With Newmarket in a bit of a slide and Lindsay starting to pick things up this game was destined to be tough battle. The first period would be a back and forth battle as teams traded shot opportunities but couldn't find the back of the net.
The second period would belong to the Hurricanes. Brandon Francisco got the opening goal at the 8:36 mark, his 11th goal of season, and Newmarket was on their way to a 3 goal second period. Peter Barral would tie the game for Lindsay on the power play at 12:22, but a mere 21 seconds later it was Ian Farrell giving the Hurricanes the lead once again. Cameron Nicoll would add to the lead on a power play for Newmarket, and after outshooting Lindsay 18 - 11 in the second period they had a 3-1 lead into the 3rd.
That's when Lindsay took over the game. Just 5 minutes into the 3rd Vince Herlihey brought the Muskies within one at 5:31 before it was the Bryan Hignett show. A goal at 12:05 tied the game before a last minute attack resulted in Hignett's second goal with 15 seconds to go. Stealing 2 points from the Hurricanes after a dominating final 20 minutes where they outshot Newmarket 24 - 5 for a total of 51 shots for Lindsay to Newmarket's 34.
North Division 3 Stars:
Honourable Mention: Mike Nedoszytko (Pickering Panthers)
- a goal and 2 assists helped his team get 2 important points over the weekend
3. Brandon Francisco (Newmarket Hurricanes)
- a goal and 3 assists on the week as the Hurricanes went 1-1
2. Michael Laidley (Aurora Tigers)
- with 2G and 2 assists in back-to-back games, Laidley helped the Tigers get back into first place in the North
1. Dylan Sikura (Aurora Tigers)
- Like his teammate Laidley, Sikura had 2 goals and 3 assists as the Tigers went 2-1 over the weekend. Sikura is now on a 4 game point streak where he has collected 3 goals and 4 assists.
North Division Rookie of the Week: Nick Thomakos (Stouffville Spirit)
The rookie from Uxbridge ON collected 3 goals and 2 assists in 2 games that Stouffville lost both times by a score of 6-5.
North Division Team of the Week: Aurora Tigers
The only team to go over .500 on the week, the Tigers have now taken over the North Division lead and have the only winning record in the division. A pair of wins against Toronto Jr. Canadiens and the Burlington Cougars by a combined score of 9 - 3 shows that the scoring has found its touch once again in Tiger town. If they can keep it up going into games this week against Mississauga and Orangeville, the Tigers could find themselves in a good position before heading on a 3 game road trip next week.
Game of the Week Preview: Pickering Panthers at Stouffville Spirit (Thursday Nov 7, 7:30pm EST)
The Panthers are holding on to the 3rd seed in the North and the final playoff spot in the North-East conference. Stouffville is looking to get back on track after a couple of 0-2 weeks, and Pickering just can't seem to find their stride again after a good start to the season.

What's wrong with today's teacher-evaluation systems-and how to improve them Unsound teacher evaluation practices lead to misinformed decisions regarding strategies for student learning, resulting in negative effects to students. Education measurement and evaluation expert W. James Popham critiques what is wrong with many existing teacher-evaluation systems and offers an alternate system that respects the professionalism and dignity of teachers. Popham argues that, because teaching is a very situation-specific profession, the use of any paint-by-numbers, one-size-fits-all teacher evaluation system is patently absurd. Rather, the only defensible approach to teacher evaluation is to base it on collegial judgment, that is, on the evaluative conclusions of experienced teachers who have been specifically trained and formally certified to carry out this function. This book discusses: Key strengths and weaknesses of prominent teacher-evaluation evidence How to improve a flawed teacher-evaluation program The merits of a teacher evaluation program based on evidence-governed collegial judgment

When I was splitting the pork egg roll with my hands, they were soon covered in a glove of grease. A pool of oil sat on the plate. There was nothing truffle-y about the truffle fries. In fact, there was no salt on them either.The mac-cheese croquetes were bland and had no mac or cheese in them. If you go here, stick to drinks only. The service was good though.
Posted by Nicole Z on 04/06/2009
Food was good. I think they need more comfort food. Bigger portions ;) More casual food options. It's def a cool place. music was awesome and nightlife was hopping. I'll be back for sure. It's def a cool bar and a good place to grab an appetizer or a light bite. Very cool decor and details (wide plank floors, wood ceilings, steel railings, etc) Great addition to the Rittenhouse bar scene.

my review is simple... awesome!!!! My wife and I went into Ladder 15 on their grand opening weekend and had drinks and sample bites of the menu that were being cocktailed around by the friendly staff. I was dressed appropriately so I did get in the door. Sorry for the gentleman who wrote the review before me he missed a great night... anyway I went back for dinner on Wednesday night and there was no dress code, and the full menu was available... again awesome food, great friendly service, and in now way is it ment to be fine dining. Thanks Ladder 15 you have a loyal guest in me .. Pauly D
Posted by NotAHipsterDoofus on 03/27/2009
As a resident of Center City I would have LOVED to try Ladder 15. But there's one problem, they have a dress code. Apparently my pants and shoes were not acceptable. My impression was more of a club, than a high end restaurant, the menu doesn't look like fine dining, so who gives a crap if I'm wearing jeans and sneakers.

PricewaterhouseCoopers US has been named one of Fortune's "100 Best Companies to Work For." PwC ranks Number 48 overall and Number 11 among large companies on this year's list, the 15th annual installment. The rating is a significant increase from the company's Number 73 score last year. The ranking notes PwC's increased transparency in communications around compensation and its Career Milestone Awards that recognize employees' sustained effort and contributions. Through its charitable foundation, PwC has donated 2 million dollars to organizations with a focus on youth education.
A major Nike supplier has agreed to pay million dollars to 4,500 Indonesian workers for 590,000 hours of unpaid overtime. The settlement covers a period of two years, the time frame allowed by Indonesian statute of limitations law, during which workers at the PT Nikomas Gemilang IY plant did not receive full wages for time worked. Last year, Indonesian textile, clothing, and footwear trade unions, major suppliers, and sportswear brands including Nike, Adidas, New Balance, and Puma signed the Indonesian Protocol that addresses poverty wages. Nike operates 30 plants in Indonesia. The deal means an award to each worker of 20 US dollars.

Practice positive self-talk skills: Positive self-talk messages will reinforce the qualities, skills and attributes within you, affect your unconscious mind and have a major effect on the way you view yourself.
The key to weightloss is NOT a diet. Self-worth + positive self-talk = attitude changes = permanent healthy lifestyle changes. Our behaviors reflect how we feel inside, which in turn is reflected in our outside appearance. Learn to think positive, be positive, react positive & see positive results
I have a small note book that I have written down positive self-talk statements. I go over them 3 times a day and when I find myself say something unacceptable, I replace it with one of my positive self-talk statements. It really is making a difference.244 I am seeing the change in me!!
Keeping the supportive people around you helps keep your own positive self-talk in check. Sharing your goals and achievements with your supportive peers helps keep you accountable, but also creates a support network for you when your positive self-talk needs a boost!

Nevada Democrat Shelley Berkley lost a close election for Senate last week. Although it was a Senate campaign, Berkley was coming from the House, which meant her opponent, Dean Heller, had had an easy weapon to deploy against her: Nancy Pelosi. Tying candidates like this to Pelosi has been a favorite tactic of congressional Republicans and their supporters. When Fred Barnes profiled Harry Reid in September, he asked GOP operatives why Pelosi was constantly invoked but Reid wasn't.
Pelosi is "toxic" with voters, he found; Republican strategists described her as "the gift that keeps on giving." Barnes continued: "In focus groups conducted by Republicans, swing voters respond negatively to any mention of Pelosi. It's clear she's a drag on Democrats. But when Reid is raised, the reaction is weak." And so it is that Pelosi compounds the Democrats' "Obama problem," so to speak: the punishment voters have meted out to Democrats, especially in the House and in gubernatorial elections, for the array of unpopular big-government excesses of the Obama administration. House candidates are particularly susceptible to the mood swings of the electorate, so you would think Pelosi would step down as House minority leader and give the Democrats a fighting chance as they head into the often-difficult second-term midterm elections. But you would be wrong.
Today, Pelosi announced that she intends to stay on as Democratic leader. It's true that substantively this may not make too much of a difference, since the Democrats have just about eliminated any moderate wing of their party and moved their entire caucus much closer to Pelosi's liberal extremism and patent unwillingness to reach across the aisle and work with Republicans. So it isn't clear the Democrats had anyone much less extreme to replace her with.
At the same time, she is broadly, if unsurprisingly, disliked by the national electorate, and the Democrats may have had an opportunity to at least try some of the rebranding efforts that Republicans are now undertaking in the wake of their own shellacking last week.
In a sense, Pelosi's party needs all the help it can get. With messy, costly legislation and high unemployment, Pelosi has presided over a difficult term as party leader. That probably won't improve much if the president's stated budget negotiation aims are any clue: Obama would like to raise taxes a bit more than he previously indicated, it seems. Obama doesn't have another reelection campaign coming up, but the House Democrats do.
Not only does Obama share in the blame for what keeps happening to Pelosi's caucus, but so does Reid. Under his leadership, Senate Democrats have chosen to grind the legislative process to a halt, shutting Republicans out and refusing to pass a budget for going on three years. Until the Democratic Party leadership takes their foot off the neck of the economy, it's Pelosi's House Democrats that that can expect to keep paying the price at the ballot box.
