Junior third baseman Kyle Newton had three hits and drove in two runs in Saturday's loss to Rutgers
March 10, 2012
Boca Raton, FL - The Florida Atlantic University baseball team committed four errors and suffered a 6-3 loss to Rutgers University on Saturday at the FAU Baseball Stadium in Boca Raton. The three-game weekend series is tied at one win apiece heading into finale on Sunday, March 11, starting at 1 p.m. The loss drops the Owls to 10-6 on the season.
Trailing 1-0, the visiting Scarlet Knights scored five times in the top of the fourth inning to seize control of the contest.
Second baseman Nick Favatella tripled to lead off the frame, and tied the game on Jeff Melillo's RBI single. After a walk, Ross Costello cleared the bases with a two-run double to left-center field, giving the Big East Conference opponent a 3-1 advantage. Two FAU errors led to two more runs for Rutgers in the frame.
FAU tried to get back into the game by cutting into the deficit in the sixth inning. A double by junior third baseman Kyle Newton scored junior first baseman Mark Nelson to pull the Owls to within three runs, 5-2.
The score would remain that way until both teams plated a run in the eighth inning and Rutgers held a 6-3 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning. That's when FAU pinch-hitter Devon Workman opened the frame by being hit by a pitch. Sophomore outfielder Geoff Jimenez followed with a one-out infield single to put runners on first and second base. Senior infielder Mike Albaladejo grounded out to second base to put both Workman and Jimenez into scoring position, but with two outs. Nelson's groundout to first base ended the game.
Freshman designated hitter Ricky Santiago gave the Owls the early 1-0 lead with a two-out single to center field in the second inning scoring Newton.
Rutgers' starting pitcher Rob Smorol improved to 2-2 on the season after allowing two runs and recording seven strikeouts in 5.2 innings. Reliever Tyler Gebler tallied the save with 3.1 innings in relief.
The Scarlet Knights' offense was led by Charlie Law with three hits, while Costello went 2-for-5 with two RBIs and two runs scored.
FAU's redshirt freshman Bo Logan suffered the loss, dropping to 1-1 on the season. He struck out six batters and allowed three earned runs. Sophomore reliever Kevin Alexander tallied six strikeouts in six quality innings on the mound.

"I don't bluff"
Jul 26, 2012 at 12:47 am
If you're looking for an overview of Dr Michael Mann's suit against National Review over my Corner post, The Columbia Journalism Review's Curtis Brainard does a crackerjack job interviewing spokesmen for one side of the story.Sadly, Dr Mann was too busy playing "hide the delete"* to comment himself, but his Big Oil lawyer did offer this:
The CJR's Brainard, like the Big Oil lawyer, bandies the term "academic fraud" as if it's a concept distinct from non-academic fraud. Fraud-wise, my post used no qualifying adjective:
I'm heartened to hear Mr Williams doesn't bluff, and look forward to being cross-examined by him in court.
*PS Speaking of Michael Mann's "hide the delete", Nathan Steinke writes:
Don't worry. When it comes to court, Dr Mann will simply delete the defense case.

text: I just returned from the summit of pool. First of all. Stricklands play was UNREAL, the man made one mistake the entire match, and he NEVER shot a safety. He won 11-2. It was simple, if Strickland got to the table, he ran out, period. After the match I found myself standing next to him. I was very nervous about starting a conversion with him based upon the things I had heard regarding his personality. Finally, I worked up the nerve to say something. He was the nicest guy. At one point he even said, "lets step outside, I want to have a smoke" We talked about his one mistake, and the status of pool to the mass public in general. He was awesome. I have seen him "blow up" in the past. I believe, people know he is volatile and press his buttons. But hey, if you flip the light switch, don't curse the bulb for lighting up!!!

James Schamus talks Taking Woodstock - RT Interview
James Schamus might be a workaholic. If it's not enough that he's the head of Focus Features -- the independent imprint of Universal -- he's also an established producer and screenwriter best known for his collaborations with Ang Lee. This week sees the release of the pair's latest, Taking Woodstock, a comedy about a family integral to the birth of the infamous Woodstock concert of 1969. And if that isn't enough, he's an associate professor of film at Columbia University and just delivered a politically-charged lecture to a rapt London Film Festival audience. While in town, he sat down with RT to talk about the release of Taking Woodstock, his work at Focus and his thoughts on the Tomatometer...
We last spoke in Cannes where the movie got its world premiere. How has the journey been since then?
James Schamus: As you know, being from Rotten Tomatoes, the US release was probably disappointing. I have a suspicion about this. I don't think the film is anti-American, but I do think it's un-American in a way. I love America, I'm an unabashed American, but the hero is just kind-of hapless and lets things happen, and he has that 60s attitude of like, "Hey, let it be." That's the whole ethos of the movie, but it's not the American way of doing things these days.
It ended up being more of an art house proposition in the States, and not as commercial as it has been in France and Asia and Germany. It's more of a mainstream film out of America. I think there was some puzzlement with the American response because it just didn't deliver the concert, which of course is the whole point of the movie. You can disagree or agree, which is fine, I don't take umbrage ever at these kinds of discussions, but there was a refrain of, "If you're going to make a movie about Woodstock you have to make a movie which shows the concert." Actually, you don't. You can really make a movie about this family three miles down the road, and what happens when a million people show up.
We were philosophical about the performance in the States and very happy with the performance elsewhere, but that's my world at Focus. Because these things don't cost so much to make we can take our knocks here and there and get our gravy somewhere else.
And every now and then you can have these big breakout hits...
JS: Yeah, I mean, look, I'm not in the hit business. It's always great to have a runaway hit, but I'm in the singles and doubles business at Focus. I always say it's not a Focus movie unless the vast majority of human beings don't like it! We really make specialised films; I'm not a studio player. I don't want to be a Hollywood studio, that's the whole point. It is a trap, that the business instils in everybody -- especially the specialised sector -- this grow or die attitude. "You've got to have a big hit or it's got to break a hundred or else you're not..." I don't know, I look at Focus and we seem to be making good money every year and that's not our attitude. And I think Universal appreciates that, because that's their job. We don't want to mess with what they do.
After doing it for a while do you at least have an idea of how a film might play commercially?
JS: Oh, of course -- when we made Brokeback, the gay cowboy movie, we knew it was going to be one of the biggest indie hits ever! No, you never have any idea how a movie will do, and that's one of the great things about my job. You make the best movie you can, you work with the coolest people and you don't worry too much about the box office except for making sure you have a game plan that gets you your money back. Maybe a little extra so you can send the cheque back to the corporate mothership so that they say, "Hey, good job guys, keep going." And you keep your expectations modest but always keep the door open to success.
We're not trying to make little movies that don't make money. I'm always really excited when we have a big hit! I'm very happy, and I do everything I can to make that happen, but you can't spend your whole life looking over your shoulder thinking, God, so and so just broke $100m, my next art movie better break that too. Some of the great surprises and joys of my business -- films like Lost in Translation or Brokeback Mountain or Coraline -- are movies where people who think they know this stuff would look at those movies and say, "I don't think so."
We wouldn't see American films like those if not for companies like Focus.
JS: I think so and we're really proud of the fact that we're still doing it, but we just have to do it responsibly. There are lots of pressures in the business, a lot of our peer institutions have gone by the wayside, and I think the reason we're still around -- and God willing the reason we'll still be doing it next year -- is because we stretch ourselves aesthetically and try and make sure that our filmmakers know they have a wide berth, and we do all that responsibly.
Do you think it helps that you're in charge of the business and also have an incredibly strong creative side? Not many other studio heads would be writing screenplays too...
JS: I think it hurts. I think I have to hold back. I'm really good, I think, at working on my stuff, but that's my stuff. The Coen Brothers, that's their stuff. What I have learned from day one is the value of me being there to support production, and actually I enjoy the marketing and distribution side of it to really bring my creativity and expertise to those jobs. When you're working with great filmmakers, when they want advice or they have issues I'm not shy about sharing an opinion but my creativity is mine and theirs is theirs and I want to respect that.
I guess the joy of the job is in having that duality.
JS: Absolutely, and most importantly we're still having fun. It's tough times everywhere, but in the film business especially with erosion of DVD sales which cuts across from the biggest Hollywood productions down to ours, there are serious challenges we have to face. But if you're not facing those challenges with a little bit of joy, what's the point of showing up at work? I think that was part of the process of Woodstock for Ang was making a movie about something which isn't treated that often in American movies -- being happy. Happiness is not necessarily a very active state. It's a place where you're letting things happen to you and to the world. So it was great to go back into that sixties zone and really have that experience with the film.
What's always been fascinating about Focus is that it's a company working on independent projects within the Hollywood system.
JS: Yeah, we use the resources when we can and we operate in a system that gives us the birth and space to do that stuff, and certainly we navigate and leverage within that system to great advantage and effect. The system is still malleable enough to allow for those kinds of things to happen. It's interesting on the outside of the studio system, when you go into the sites and places where the public at large is figuring out what they're going to see.
Like Rotten Tomatoes, it poses very interesting challenges for us in particular since our best movies are probably the movies that aren't for everybody. When you use this quantitative approach on the Tomatometer, it tells a very specific story that isn't the story very often for movies like us. You guys are great because on the one hand it's an incredible aggregation of thoughts and opinion, but on the other hand for specialised film -- especially these days where critics are increasingly coming to a popular consensus approach to their work. They're not articulating as boldly as an aggregate as they once did. We're confronted with a very funny thing where our best movies get some of our worst ratings. How do you break through and say, "Hey guys, for you this is the one."
I've always thought there's a sweet spot in the middle of the Tomatometer -- between about 45-55% - where it's not a question of those movies being bad movies, but that's where the ones that really divide people passionately wind up sitting. And some of them are my favourite movies. Films like The Fall or Antichrist are recent examples. I'll always seek out a movie when I find it's been scored between 45 and 55% precisely because I know I'm going to react to it very strongly.
JS: It'd be really fun to see how you can make that an exciting zone without it being the dead zone in the middle. Because I think you're absolutely right, it really comes up again and again and you want the discussion, you want people to be getting the discussion going. Because the pop culture is at its most exciting when you bring in everybody and democratise it, everybody can have that voice. When it just becomes this number, suddenly it evacuates that possibility. It'll be fun to see how that evolves.
I do think people misuse the site sometimes in the sense that they just go based on the score and not on the quotes. When you go to the quotes and then the full reviews, you absolutely get that sense that you don't get from the score, particularly in the case of the 45-55s.
JS: That's where I find myself constantly these days, as you know, so you're articulating exactly what I'm doing with my business! It's funny.
Taking Woodstock is out in the UK today.

Olinger Leads Bearcats to OT Win Over George Fox, 94-87
SALEM, OR — John Olinger scored 7 of his 22 points in overtime as the Willamette University men's basketball team handed George Fox University its first Northwest Conference loss of the season, winning at home, 94-87 Tuesday night.
The Bearcats raise their season record to 6-8 overall, 3-2 NWC. The Bruins fall to 8-5, 3-1 NWC.
Olinger (22 points, nine assists, six rebounds) scored the first four points in overtime to give the Bearcats the early OT lead. Brennan Garrelts (nine rebounds, six points) hit a 3-pointer, Olinger hit three more free throws and CJ Stuvland (17 points, four assists) connected on a pair from the stripe as the Bearcats scored the first nine points in OT to take the victory.
No more than seven points separated the two during the second half. The Bruins took a one-point halftime lead, 40-39, then scored the first four points of the second half on a pair of jumpers from Mark Gayman (27 points, seven rebounds). The Bruins' biggest lead was 68-61 on another Gayman jumper with 6:32 to play in regulation.
Henry Greeley scored his only points of the game on a long 3-pointer, then Drew Miller (22 points, six rebounds, five assists) hit another three and the Bearcats were right back in it.
Gayman's three-point play put the Bruins up by four, 77-73 with 1:28 to play.
Miller buried another 3-pointer to pull the Bearcats within one. Then Olinger hit Todd Lewis (14 points, two rebounds) for the Bearcats' first lead in the second half.
Aaron Schmick tied the game as he hit one of two free throws with 11 seconds to play, setting the stage for Olinger's overtime heroics.
For the game, the Bearcats hit 44% of their shots. The Bruins, after shooting 57%, in regulation, hit only 2-9 in OT to finish the game at 52%. Willamette won the battle of the boards, 39-32 and committed only 13 turnovers to 19 for the Bruins.
In the overtime period, Willamette hit 11-14 from the free throw line. The Bearcats play Wednesday night at Pacific University, a make-up contest from last Saturday's cancellation due to ice.

Best Thai I've had in NYC. Thai-level spicy and I'm told they only added Pad Thai to the menu after a ton of market pressure. Eaten there three times recently. Can't wait to go back. Don't miss the crispy pork dishes. Chicken Larb is wonderful. Fiery, delicious papaya salad. Only miss I've had was a whole fish that was kind of plain and underwhelming. Everything else has been brilliant.

Told us there would be a 45 minute wait. Gave them our number and went to the bar next store. Came back 45 minutes later and they had clearly given our table to someone else without calling because there were many parties of our size crossed off on the list below us.

My wife is Thai- we've been to Thailand many times. She flipped out when we first went to Zabb Elee. It's authentic and fresh. Not greasy at all. From Northern Thailand, so most dishes are unfamiliar- you'll have to be adventurous when you order. I rank it right up there with Sripraphai- as good if not better.

I lived in Thailand for several years and this is the place I go if I want authentic Thai food. Best in city.

I don't know if the previous reviewer just had a bad experience or doesn't really like Thai food. I have lived in Bangkok and this was the first Thai restaurant in New York that reminded of the little restaurants around my apartment there. I have been three times since I first ate at Zabb Elee a little over a week ago. Everything I have had has been great. I will continue to frequent this place and likely will not go to any other Thai places in the area again.

I think I have attempted to eat everything that has opened at this space in the last 5 years. Every time I hope and every time I am crushed. The previous reviewer was correct about the Vietnamese restaurant that was here being garbage. However I have to say this new Thai restaurant fares no better. Told 30 min delivery, ended up being over an hour. Food delivered cold and missing beverage. Delivery person had no change. Thought I was giving him a $16 tip since he did not have change. WTF? As for missing beverage, still missing 40 mins after repeated calls with a response of in 5 mins. Food was uninspired not because it was cold, but because it tastes dumbed down in flavor. So if you want to give it a try, best of luck. Otherwise I say avoid yet another restaurant in the jinxed space.

Fantastic - a breath of fresh air. A MUST for people who love spicy food. That about sums it up. Maybe not for the reasons you think... I love my Spice and Thai Terminal, but this is DIFFERENT. You won't find Pad Thai, or Pad See Ew here at Zabb Elee. What you'll get is an assorted variety of Isan dishes - and some that taste just as good as a home cooked meal. I've had the Kana Moo Korb (chinese broccoli and crispy pork), PukkBoong Moo korb (sauteed morning glory with crispy pork), Kra Pao Moo Korb (crispy pork and basil leaves), and Pad Ped Moo Krob (crispy pork and spicy curry). As you can see, I love my crispy pork. What I love most about Zabb Elee are: 1) Home cooked dishes are here, just like your mom would make them 2) Differentiated offering compared to most of the Thai joints around the East Village area where I'm housed 3) Portions are generous - for the price! Most Thai places charge 11-15$ an entree, here you'll get most for 9$. 4) Hello? Thai food that is open until 1 am? OH MAN. 5) MOST IMPORTANTLY: when you ask them to make it extra spicy, THEY MAKE IT EXTRA SPICY! Fresh chili slices added to many of their dishes (upon request) makes this my go to place. I order from here 3 or more times a week - just because in the last year since I've moved here I've found nothing more authentic. Nothing fancy here folks, just *authentic* Thai the way you would expect it! (And yes, this means no Pad Thai!) You can tell I'm super excited, largely because this place replaced a "Vietnamese" (read: completely Americanized joint) restaurant, ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE!

WALL FOR THE CLIMBING – Lake Superior State University students and staff, along with officials from DeVere Construction, Alpena, Mich., look on as LSSU biology professor and avid climber Tom Allan test-drives a new climbing wall in Lake State's Student Activity Center. LSSU student Ramsey A've, right, and Norris Center facilities manager Ken Hopper help spot the professor. Dick's Sporting Goods, of Grand Rapids, Mich., donated wall sections during a campaign in 2011 spearheaded by LSSU's Recreation Club. Remaining sections and hardware were funded this past fall by student donations of loose change through the LSSU Foundation's "Piggy-U" effort. DeVere Construction installed two of four sections as a gift to LSSU students.

Committee OKs bill to fix surveying error on Coconino homes
WASHINGTON - A House committee gave preliminary approval Wednesday to a bill that will let homeowners bordering Coconino National Forest buy parts of the forest - which currently runs through their living rooms.
The bill addresses a 1960 surveying error that identified part of the forest as private land, land on which 26 homes were later built. The mistake was uncovered by a new government survey in 2007.
"On some of these parcels, the revised boundary goes through portions of a resident's home - literally right through people's homes," Rep. Paul Gosar, R-Flagstaff, the bill's sponsor, told the House Natural Resources Committee. "Can you imagine if the Forest Service told you that, �Oops, you don't have a living room.'?"
Esther Stewart, 74, lost more than a living room. The Mountainaire subdivision resident saw 94 percent of her property reclassified as national forest land by the 2007 Bureau of Land Management survey.
"Six percent is all that's left, and that is a ditch," Stewart said from her home Wednesday. "Quite literally that is a ditch. It's a water runoff. I couldn't pitch a tent in it because it's full of rocks."
The bill would let homeowners like Stewart buy the affected 2.67 acres of Coconino forest land from the government for a total of $20,000.
Stewart, the property owner most affected by the boundary shift, expects to pay $4,262.40 for her share, citing the latest projections by the Coconino County Assessor's Office. She said another homeowner, who had inches of their property affected, would pay $11.52.
Without the bill, Stewart said affected property owners would have to continue to pay taxes for property they cannot rebuild on, repair or resell.
"If we get a really dry summer and we get a forest fire and my house is consumed by forest fire, I have nowhere to go," she said. "I have to go find another place to build because I can no longer build on this property because I don't own it, even though I pay the taxes on it."
The committee rejected an amendment by Rep. Raul Grijalva, D-Tucson, that would have stricken "$20,000″ from the bill and changed the sale price instead to "an amount agreed upon." Grijalva said he supports the bill, but wants to know the land's true value.
"In order to be honest and transparent . . . it would have been good to know what the amount of the value really was," he said after the meeting. "I thought it would be important for Mr. Gosar to at least follow the process and tell us what the net value of that taxpayer holding is."
But Gosar argued that figuring the value of the land, as Grijalva's amendment would have required, would put the bill back four years. He urged the committee instead to move the bill forward and rid the property owners and the Coconino National Forest of this burden.
"This bill is a no-brainier," Gosar said during the meeting. "It is a headache for all that can be simply fixed by my bill."
The committee did add an amendment making it clear that money from the land sale would go to the U.S. Forest Service generally, and not be kept in Arizona. Gosar said later that he did not have a problem with the amendment, which removed any doubt that the funds from the land might be earmarked.
The bill is expected to easily pass the House. Gosar said at the hearing that it has the support of the Obama administration.
"It'll pass," Grijalva agreed. "I don't think there'll even be a roll-call vote. It's not a controversial piece of legislation. It's been worked out for four years."
Stewart said she was glad to see some progress, but said the issue needs to be resolved during this Congress so it doesn't face further delays.
"I'm glad it's moving forward . . . because if it doesn't, it just keeps going and going," she said. "We need it to be resolved."

A common piece of financial advice is, "Invest in yourself first." This usually means saving some money before spending any on yourself. But life is too short to not consider the other meaning of this phrase, which is, "Do things for yourself that keep you happy and healthy."
Sometimes money grows on trees. Priceless beauty.
There are few things that can guarantee happiness, but a stellar fall weekend in the Mad River Valley or a powder day at the mountain can usually be counted on to bring a positive ROI. In today's volatile economic climate, sweet snowy smiles, million-dollar views and the sweat equity of hikes and bike rides are safer bets than many other investments.
Plus, these "self-stocks" hold their value extremely well over time, providing long-term benefits like good mental and physical health, stronger family relationships (play together, stay together) and a general sense of well-being.

Louisville junior OF Stewart Ijames
March 27, 2011
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - After winning the first two games of the weekend, the 27th-ranked Louisville baseball team dropped its series finale to Rutgers 4-2 on Sunday afternoon at Bainton Field.
With the loss, the Cardinals dropped to 15-8 overall and 2-1 in BIG EAST Conference games, while Rutgers improved to 8-13 on the season and 1-2 in league games with the win. The loss, which was the first ever for the Cardinals at Rutgers, ended Louisville's eight-game winning streak overall against the Scarlet Knights.
After scoring 20 runs on 24 hits in winning the first two games of the weekend, the Cardinals managed only six hits in the series finale. Junior right-hander Nathaniel Roe led the Rutgers' pitching staff on Sunday allowing only two runs on five hits with four strikeouts in 7.1 innings to get the win and improve to 2-4 on the season. After lefty Rob Corsi came on to record the final two outs of the eighth, righty Jerry Elsing pitched a scoreless ninth inning for his third save of the season.
For Louisville, sophomore righty starter Mike Nastold (Cincinnati, Ohio/Elder HS) suffered his second straight loss to fall to 2-2 on the season after allowing two earned runs on six hits with four strikeouts in 5.0 innings. At the plate, no Louisville player had more than one hit as junior outfielder Stewart Ijames (Owensboro, Ky./Owensboro Catholic HS) hit his sixth home run of the season and his fourth this week for the first run, while sophomore designated hitter Kyle Grieshaber (Chesterfield, Mo./Marquette HS) had an RBI sacrifice fly for the Cardinals' final run.
Rutgers opened the scoring in Sunday's game with a three-run first inning that turned out to be enough for the Scarlet Knights. After back-to-back walks from Nastold to leftfielder Brian O'Grady and second baseman Nick Favatella started the inning, Cards' sophomore third baseman Cade Stallings (Knoxville, Tenn./Farragut HS) committed a throwing error while fielding a sacrifice bunt off the bat of rightfielder Michael Lang, which allowed O'Grady to score for the 1-0 lead. Third baseman D.J. Anderson followed with an RBI groundout to score Favatella from third for the second run of the inning. Moments later, Lang scored from third just ahead of a throw from Louisville freshman shortstop Alex Chittenden (Indianapolis, Ind./Lawrence Central HS) after he fielded a groundball off the bat Michael Zavala for the 3-0 lead.
The Cardinals cut the RU lead to 4-2 in the eighth inning on the bases loaded, RBI sac fly by Grieshaber, but were unable to get any closer despite having the bases loaded with only one out in the inning. Up next, Louisville will open a four-game homestand at Jim Patterson Stadium against Western Kentucky on Tuesday at 6 p.m., ET and admission is free.
Louisville Notes
- With Sunday's loss, the Cardinals dropped to 17-5 all-time against Rutgers while ending their winning streak against the Scarlet Knights at eight. Louisville also dropped to 9-3 all-time in games played in the state of New Jersey, including a 5-1 record on the road at Rutgers.
- Despite their struggles at the plate on Sunday, the Cardinals scored 32 runs in four games this week for their highest scoring week of the season. Louisville's previous high was 23 total runs in four games from March 8 through March 13.
- Louisville scored 22 runs in the series at Rutgers with 18 of those coming in the final three innings of each game. U of L had scored five or more runs in an inning only once entering the weekend, but did achieve that feat twice in the series.
- Through 23 games this season, Louisville's pitching staff as a team ERA of 2.14 with 151 strikeouts and only 70 walks in 206.0 innings.
- Senior outfielder Drew Haynes leads the Cardinals in hitting at .328, while junior outfielder Stewart Ijames leads Louisville with six home runs and 24 RBI. Junior second baseman Ryan Wright is second on the team in hitting at .318, second in home run with three and second in RBI with 15.

That's how many toes Daniel the cat has – two more on each foot than typical cats, and two shy of the world record for most number of toes.
It's also the amount of the many donations – nearly 2,000 of them – made in his honor to help a Milwaukee shelter in its time of need.
Daniel's 26 special toes galvanized the staff at Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center, who found out the rent at their former space was doubling at the start of 2012. They got creative and asked that people give $1 per toe, and the $26 donations would go toward a new location. Since Oct. 24, they have raised about $80,000.
Daniel first got the Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center's attention from behind his cage at animal control.
"Sometimes, when we go down to animal control to decide which cats or dogs we're going to accept to the program, we let them tell us," Amy Rowell of Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center tells the AP. "He was very clearly saying, 'I need to be rescued, I'd like to be your friend, please pay attention to me.' When a sign is that obvious, we tend to not ignore it."
Milwaukee Animal Rescue Center initially considered finding a new home for Daniel, but eventually decided to keep him around as the shelter mascot – at their new home.

1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger
chocolate liqueur
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger
creme de cacao
1 tablespoon
2 1/2 fluid ounces
non-dairy vanilla-flavored creamer
2 teaspoons
chocolate syrup
This isn't exactly how I wrote the recipe, but I guess the powers that be have the right to change it. I used CHOCOLATE-FLAVORED vodka, vanilla-CARAMEL non-dairy creamer and COATED the inside of the maritini glass with chocolate syrup, not just the rim. These small changed may make the difference in whether you like it or not.
Thanks Nikki!! I've been looking for a recipe like this...I tried it and it turned out great! I also made sure I included the left-out instructions...you're right though it did make the difference. All I did to it was add some mint chocolate shavings to the top and voila! Perrrrfect! Thanks again Nikki!!
16 Ratings
Glad I read the reviews first. Not sure why the site would change the recipe. I put a shot of vodka, a shot of creme de cacoa, and a shot of Bailey's Irish Cream (did not have creamer). It turned out pretty good.
Oh ya, keep 'em comin'. The only change I made was to use light cream instead of the non-dairy creamer because I like to use natural products.
yummo. Loved this. I used Godiva Chocolate Liquor which is fabulous and cut the creamer with milk b/c i thought it was too sweet. So good though. Thank you to Nikki!
Delicious !! Did use the carmel vanilla creamer as recommended and just drizzled the syrup in the glass before adding the martini !
Nikki, this chocolate martini is excellent! I really liked how the chocolate flavor came through without a strong liquor taste. I tried a couple others on the site and thought that they had way too much vodka. I like that this only had 1 Tblsp. After reading the reviews I mixed up the kind of creamer to buy. I bought the vanilla caramel creamer and it worked fine. I could also only find vanilla vodka and went with that. I also really liked that this one called for just dipping the rim of the glass into chocolate. I put a circle onto a disposable plate and dipped the top into it. Other ones, called for drizzling it around the glass and I found that to be messy. Just on the rim was elegant and just the right amount. I didn't have a shaker, so I just used a tall container with a twist on cap, shook it with ice, and then strained it with the lid. Try this one and you won't need to try the others! Ty
I used a full jigger of whipped cream flavored vodka instead of a tablespoon. Instead of dipping the rim of the glass in chocolate syrup, I drizzled the inside of the glass with the chocolate syrup.
This is one of the best martinis I've ever had.

The first time I saw Ron Jacobs talk about service-oriented architecture was at Microsoft TechEd 2004. He did a talk with John Devados and it was the first time I can remember someone talking about services in a way that made sense to me as a developer as well as an architect. It seemed that every time I went to see a talk on SOA, I was looking at a lot diagrams of clouds with lines connecting them to other clouds. Any questions about the practical application of services was met with the answer, "Well, it depends." Ron was the first person I ever saw who offered real, prescriptive guidance on how to design and implement properly factored services, and it had a big impact on how I've approached SOA ever since.
Beyond being an in-demand conference speaker, Ron is also the creator of ARCast.tv, the show that I and several other architects at Microsoft got the chance to co-host just a little over a year ago when Ron moved-on to become a technical evangelist for the Windows Communication Foundation and Workflow Foundation product teams. Heck, I even had the opportunity to do an interview with Ron back in 2006 at the Microsoft National Architecture Forum in Vale, CO.
In our newest episode of ARCast.tv, Ron gets to sit in the interviewee seat and talk about some of the key differences and benefits of SOAP-based and RESTful services, and how Windows Communication Foundation supports the implementation of both types of services.

I've fallen behind on keeping you up to date on new ARCast.tv shows being published on Channel 9. Mea culpa.
The first one features an interview with Steve Resnick, Rich Crane and Chris Bowen about their new book, Essential WCF. The interview was conducted by my colleague and good buddy, Bob Familiar, who always does a great job on the show:

Also in the "recently published" category is my interview with Roy Osherove of Typemock where we talk about test-driven design and the role of testing in the real world. Any time you can demonstrate the often confusing state of maintaining tests in a large system with a pile of rubber bracelets, well that just good TV, right?

For those of you who didn't get the memo, Ron Jacobs is no longer hosting the very popular Channel 9 show, ARCast. After spending a couple of years traveling the world talking to hundreds of practicing architects, Ron decided he needed a change and is now a Technical Evangelist in Redmond working with the WCF and WF teams.
Because of the popularity of ARCast worldwide, I and a small team of fellow architects from across the country have been working over the past several months to bring into being what we're calling, "ARCast 2.0." Instead of having one regular host on the show, any architect evangelist in the world that has a story to tell and is willing to sit down and record it can be the host of an ARCast episode.
We published the first official episode of ARCast 2.0 last week. My colleague and good friend Bob Familiar sat down with Simon Guest, Senior Director of the Platform Architecture Team at Microsoft, and had a great conversation about what his team does and what types of content and activities his team will have for the community in the future. If you haven't had a chance to watch the interview yet, you can watch it here.
And this week it's my turn.
A few weeks ago at TechEd Developer 2008, I had an opportunity to sit down in the TechEd Online "fishbowl" and have a conversation with Juval Lowy about his ideas concerning interface-based design in software. Any conversation that starts with, "Object-orientation has completely failed us," is going to be a good one.
You can watch the full ARCast video here:

GRAFTON, Mass. – Santa arrived dramatically Saturday at the first Jingle Bell Run at the Grafton High School track, and promptly threw traditionalists a curve.
When Santa stepped out of the state police cruiser, which arrived with sirens blaring and blue lights flashing, he greeted the crowd and, with red sack in hand, collected presents from the children to be donated to various charity.
It was a reverse gift-giving moment.
"It is never too early to teach our children the value of giving," said Nancy Cooper, one of the organizers said to the crowd.
Approximately 150 supporters and their children arrived, many dressed in red stocking caps and sleigh bell jewelry, and ran, walked or were pushed by stroller around a track covered in snow to cap off the day.
The event, coordinated by Cooper, Kerry Leonard, and Carrie Bussewitz, was to benefit the Home For Little Wanderers, Room to Grow, Horizons for Homeless Children and the West End House Boys and Girls Club.
Each participant brought one unwrapped gift to be donated to the children of these nonprofit organizations.
Children also crafted homemade Christmas cards to be given with the presents, and lent a hand in gift wrapping before heading to the track for their half- or one-mile jaunt.
"The other benefit of this get together is to promote healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle," Cooper said.

And right now we've got about I it's so -- so. Confident can now right there's -- first actually this slide is really just do. Highlight the differences. Between us and some of we do everything except marine -- -- and we're not in the -- -- title library business and we don't sell equipment. But we're fully operational internationally. We see -- competitive advantages as. Strong base in the US which fights could cash flow for us. We've got significant international exposure -- specialize in the transitions -- nation. Where you -- right well in. Difficult environments. Where you've been in Columbia continuously. For twenty is. -- you go anywhere the last five years from forty to 60% of that market depending on who the customers. And -- 100% Colombian all of our employees -- Colombian.

About employees in Brazil -- -- that gives us a huge advantage. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- That have additional costs and -- knowledge of the region's. We do well particularly in Columbia rip them majors BP in the -- -- depends like topsy. We always when their work you know we're not necessarily in the the lowest priced. This is sampling of back customers which again is burying -- very strong as a lot of national oil companies to my -- the super manages. Large independents. Multi client companies in the US such as seismic exchange. We've got to really probe by it's not one of these customers is more than 50% of 15% of that business in year. Someone -- might get to 15% of our business next year if they keep awarding -- large contracts. Which we plan to continue to grow. We've invested a lot of money in new equipment and even. -- credit -- -- we still got cash in the bank. We've hello lot of opportunities going forward. We taking the prudent approach through the first half of next year of them holding on -- -- -- and see what happens of the market in general. But we've spent. Over the last couple it is. 95 million last year ninety million this year -- all of this year really on revenue generating equipment. So that will serve us well into 2009. We're currently in twenty countries out of a 194. There's tremendous opportunity in the areas -- working in the high mountainous regions in the shallow water areas. Full of West Africa or -- opportunity for growth -- nicely. The ocean bottom cable business that we -- into last end of last year. Was really an outgrowth of that transitions and that have a limit -- -- 150 foot water depth. We can now go out to about 15100 feet of war -- that. And like cables on the bottom we've drawn a line there because it gets increasingly expensive to -- beyond that -- So I have plan really is to. Is to take the cash that we and in North America -- and reinvested internationally. If you look at the job internationally and has been -- revenue better margin. And by the time you get the end of the year of both international and US -- similar. Because the into the US -- -- twelve months I was twelve so we've got a 100% utilization. Internationally we've last year we have about 65%. Utilize -- nation. The size of the jobs we're getting internationally getting bigger and bigger. And the number of jobs are getting more so. It's going to be a lot easier to keep those crews busy -- -- time next year than it was -- issue. So we would expect to see improved margins mixture. This -- -- -- growth from 2004. That's when we were to company to -- company with a little process and -- 2005. We added we acquired Trace which gave us a lot more channels 2006. We acquired -- physical. 2007. That was purely organic growth so you get to the end of the third quarter in 2000 night we've got. 122000. Channels. Which is not a direct correlation to revenue but it's a good indicator. And you can see revenue and of the third course 357. Million which is almost as much as we did. In 2007. And with that increased. Capital spend that we had -- -- you would expect to see. Similar growth through 2009. If you look at that back you -- or you can see the the change in mix from. And from North America to international this year it's about 58% international office is 42%. North America North America hasn't diminished and he is just growth in international. And right now we're sitting probably about 80% back this is international. And know that 80% international. 80% of that is with national companies. And I have a 70% of it is and they -- in transition and show award. This just shows where were operating. When. -- test my -- -- scales but really in that. In West Africa we moved into West Africa because we're so tremendous opportunity for -- -- -- operations. Most of the West African -- has been ignored. As well as the east African -- that matter we just finished -- transitions on job. In Tanzania. And the way we've designed equipment what sets us for Mac competitors is their ability to move that equipment. From -- connection to -- attention very quickly. That this bill designed vessels. The biggest one is 65 feet. Comes it's wonderful food for complains we moved -- from Tanzania. On the East Coast of Africa -- Cameron's on the West Coast of Africa. It took one it was it was to set to flights but we put everything to be planes. And flew them across Africa. Than normal way to do that is to go down -- southern tip of Africa and the coast which is at least two months after it to do that so. We offer very quick service and that of value to customers in the US we typically work in. In Texas. Texas Louisiana those a lot of won't -- we -- there -- -- in North Dakota and Colorado we -- one room -- -- -- The green belts -- -- partners. Ourselves. Where -- -- -- to to use words Obama worked in Texas. Colorado -- why I'm in California. And again in the northeast -- in the months those like. Just go through this quickly there's no such thing as an average job. In the US we have a sort of an average crew they have 6000 channels tend vibrates as about ninety people. Unless we're doing Donna my work when you're gonna get a drill -- to -- in front of your internationally. Every job is custom fit took the job. So it's very difficult to figure out. The value of one furnace fest is next. It's reasonable decided that that transitions and Cruz looked like three US features they just generate more revenue and kind of -- -- -- -- and said. Have focus is really being towards. Transition zone where we see a lot of opportunity and it's been pretty much completely ignored. Around the world -- oil companies because it's the most expensive seismic even though it's not expensive for them to -- Really expensive it's slow going compared to a strip ten streamer vessel that. She's 24000. This is where we we've invested a lot of money -- C -- equipment we see. Big opportunities for that going forward. Not to forget processing it's only 2% of that business. On -- revenue basis but it's very important 2%. If we're getting oil companies to -- -- three times as much as they would for a stream crew in the same area. We need to be sure that the data that we delivered to the -- company matches that better expectation. The industry as a whole does not process multi component I do very well which is what you get when you light streams on the sea bed because you can happen. Three component GF funds -- as a -- -- -- When you've got a stream crew ordeal getting his -- foundations. You've got a lot more night that we haven't learned how to process -- old debts. Going forward there's. More and more effort more. More investment required and -- indeed for for process and and with that I'm from China that was Scott McCarron yes -- if. Just to start off with some balance sheet data. If you look at our balance sheet as of September 30 we had about seventeen million of cash. 94 million of that which finesse and -- debt to cap of about 29%. -- dead is really two components we have a seventy million dollar revolver. With PNC bank which is the 41 million -- there and the rest is just capital leases and equipment financing that we have. With various parties. Where. In compliance with over -- we've got a lot of you know we've got a lot of gap between where we're -- in the covenants that -- feel very comfortable with four -- -- On the debt side. We did do an issuance in July and additional shares of our preferred stock which you see -- jump of about 35 million since the -- the year. And even so a total capitalizations about 320 million. Just looking at our growth over the last few years. You can see 2008 -- today -- -- basically. In line with where we world last year. And you can see the -- growth on the revenue side. And -- -- downside we've grown as well last year was kind of a year of transition for us. We bought two companies. And basically multiplies the size of the company by about eight or nine times. Well between -- five and the in the -- six and -- of seven we really had to do a lot of integration and was -- sarbanes Oxley a year for the first time and so we had a little bit of a setback which you can see all of that position us well to grow this year. Our party of 49 million through nine months and on. On track obviously to significantly -- last year. Our results are highly variable quarter to quarter you can see from these charts going back a couple years we have some. To -- some seasonality in our business. Canada is very busy in the first quarter. Drops off -- basically nothing -- to drain generally in the second quarter and then third and fourth quarter stabilize of this. We also have Columbia and other countries that were they in the statements in the first quarter of the busiest season there and then you can into the rainy season in the middle of the year. This year we've been much much more consistent if you look at revenues we haven't seen the sharp drops first -- second quarter. We've seen it -- more uneven -- and -- on revenues but. We think going forward things will smooth out a bit with a larger contracts were seeing internationally. And the you know just us getting bigger toward Canada and Colombia are just not as big a percentage of the total company. We are seeing that level out would expect that to continue into next year. -- -- our -- you can see here backlog as of September 30 was 509 million. That's up significantly from just a quarter ago when it was 412. And a year ago when -- 381. The North America of that club has dropped off a bit but you can see this substantial growth in our international backlog. One thing that's important to note our crews are very mobile. And so the crews that operate in North America the majority of those can be moved in and actually. -- -- -- -- and so. You know the international -- while growing is definitely -- strength that we think we. Verses you know some or North America only competitors. And -- -- club covers all of the rest of this year really gets -- deep in the 2009. With some pretty substantial growth. Growth built them. Looking at our growth and where it's gonna come from and what we think we've done two allowed to continue next year. Dick mentioned we grew initially due to acquisitions. Done back in 2005 and 2006. And in the last two years have really been taking advantage of the platforms -- those acquisitions gave us to grow the company organically. You can see from this chart. We spent. -- -- -- -- We spent 95 million in 2007. Most of that was upgrading our US crews to get -- the top line. Cruise that to compete for the larger more profitable projects. We also -- deal BC market and just generally expanded our recording capacity. Looking at 2008. Our capex budget is eighty million -- spent seven the of that through September. The last hands pretty much already committed. Looking forward. We haven't set our capex budget for 2009. We give a covenant in our bank agreement that limits -- the fifty million. And we think that'll be more than enough in fact our plan is to. Keep it as low as possible in the first half of the year wait to see what happens with the financial markets and that way -- our growth Catholics for next year. That said. The seventy million we've spent this year. There's a lag between when you actually receive the equipment and get -- on line producing income so. We've got pretty substantial growth especially in and actually built into next year already with the investments we've made this year. Maintenance capex for us tends to run about three to 4% revenue and historically we've made our capital investment decisions looking for a three year payback on -- -- -- basis. Going forward given both. The significant number of opportunities as well as. You know the potential that. Cash is going to be a little bit harder to come by in the external markets. Will -- tightening that up to a forest a stronger payback to -- -- Growth Catholics in the short term. So in summary. Looking at to you kinetics you know we think the backlog is a big strength for us. Dick mentioned 80% of that's -- the national oil companies 70% and that's in the shallow water on the international side. Which are are historically most profitable product lines most. More stable customers. We still have a strong presence in -- and North America. We think that's still going to be good good operation for as if it does slow down though. We've got a great infrastructure overseas -- allow us to keep that equipment working. Where the demand is still increasing. Leader in the transition zone we've we've been improving our operating margins. We've recently invested the a 165 million new equipment over the last few years. And that's given us a lot of additional revenue generating capacity. Especially in the shallow water and ocean -- cable violence. Thank you very much.

Kanye Interrupts Little Kids
A lot of the outrage against Kanye West last week seemed to center around Taylor Swift's age. At nineteen, folks said, she's just a kid.
Perhaps the outraged should have held off on the indignation. The rude rapper's moved on to Strawberry Shortcake, Lazy Town's Stephanie and some of our favorite kids.
A taste:
That's just rotten!
Come on, he's all alone on his planet. Leave a robot alone.
No legs for you.
OK, maybe there he has a point.
There too.
