It was a cold and windy training session on Friday at Toyota Park. After the team went through their final preparations for Saturday's match vs. Philadelphia, they hurried in to join the Fire Front Office staff in wishing head coach Frank Yallop a very happy 50th birthday...
Frank was much obliged by the gesture...
Want to thank all the fire front office and staff for a fantastic birthday surprise #cf97
— Frank Yallop (@FrankYallop) April 4, 2014
After picking up a point on the road in D.C. last week, the Fire are back at Toyota Park on Saturday afternoon to face the Philadelphia Union (3:30pm CT My50/TWCSC) looking for the club's first win of the season and to extend their unbeaten streak to four games.
Here are a few things to look out for from a tactical perspective…
A change on the wing? Going with a veteran over youth
In last week's match in D.C., youngster Benji Joya again started on the wing for the Fire but again failed to last the full 90 minutes in his third start in a row. Defensively, Joya left his outside back Greg Cochrane exposed on more than one occasion in the first half before Frank Yallop switched Joya to the right wing.
In the attack, Joya also found it difficult to get into the game before he was substituted in place of Patrick Nyarko. The Ghanaian had an immediate impact; setting up Qunicy Amarikwa for the equalizer after a brilliant nutmeg.
Saturday seems like a perfect game for Nyarko to get his second start in 2014 for a number of reasons. First, his speed in the attack will cause Union left back Fabinho trouble. In the Union's last two matches, the Brazilian's lack of pace has been a weak spot.
Nyarko also provides ample cover defensively, something the Fire will need against a Philly team who's tactics emphasize getting as many players forward as possible when they attack.
Bringing the strikers closer together - pushing Magee closer to the goal
In D.C., Mike Magee cut a frustrated figure, trying his best to get into the game but with not a lot of chances to influence it. Magee started in a deeper role behind Quincy Amarikwa and both players were unable to link up on many occasions throughout the match, but not for lack of trying.
Against Philly, I expect Magee to be a lot closer to his striker partner with the Fire playing more of a 4-1-3-2 role instead of a 4-1-4-1. Moving Magee further forward allows Alex to further influence the game from midfield, something he wasn't able to do in D.C.
At this point in the season, coach Yallop favors the Magee/Amarikwa partnership in the attack and in a home game, I expect a formation that fosters as much interplay between the pair as possible.
Stifling the Union attack - limiting opportunities for
Jack Mac
In last week's match away to Montreal, striker
Jack McInerney caused major problems when he was able to get on the end of through balls from the Philly midfield.
In the attack, players like Le Toux and creative mid Vincent Nogueira are always looking to play
McInerney in behind while U.S. international Maurice Edu can also do the same from his deeper midfield role.
While much of the focus will be on
McInerney, Brazilian Leonardo Fernandez has impressed coming off the bench in Philly's last two matches, scoring in one, and it would be no surprise to see him on the pitch from the start on Saturday.
EDITOR'S NOTE: Jack McInerney was traded to the Montreal Impact in exchange for Andrew Wenger Friday morning, hence his name being struck through. It is not known at time of edit if Wenger will join the Union in Chicago for Saturday's match.
Prediction: The Fire will finally get a first win of the season - 2-1 with goals from Quincy Amarikwa and Harry Shipp.

From Brandon Marshall to Ron Harper, and Ozzie Guillen to Richard Dent, the new Harry Caray's Chicago Sports Museum and Harry Caray's 7th Inning Stretch at Water Tower Place was packed with familiar faces of Chicago sports' past and present on Tuesday night. You can add Chicago Fire's Mike Magee to that mix, as well.
Joined by teammates Quincy Amarikwa and Gonzalo Segares at the museum's VIP grand opening, the 2013 MLS MVP checked out various displays of Chicago sports memorabilia, among which was his own game-worn Fire jersey sitting in a glass case next to other jerseys worn by fellow Chicago professional athletes.
Magee's jersey wasn't the only Fire representation in the museum; Brian McBride's game-worn Fire jersey also sits among an elite group of Chicago sports gear, including Derrick Rose's Simeon High School jersey.
After exploring and engaging in several interactive sports displays, Magee, Amarikwa and Segares enjoyed an evening of Chicago sports camaraderie, chatting and mingling with a few fellow professional athletes and celebrities from area (such as James Denton and Billy Zane).
Magee even managed to reel in new Fire fans, including Brandon Marshall and Jarrett Payton as well as catching up with Fire fan Ozzie Guillen, who expressed interest in checking out Chicago's most recent MVP in action soon.
Outside a bar at halftime, one team was up a man and four goals. The crowd outside was split, not between teams but between ideals. Who would go back to watch the second half? It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the beginning of spring and a few of us wanted to go sit in a park. The game was all but over. But for some reason, everybody followed one guy back in, back to their seats at the bar. "It's part of the contract," he said. "It's what we do."
What contract? It's the contract we sign as fans. The contract to watch and be a part of the sport in America. But what responsibility do we have to the game? What do we owe it? Are we ever allowed our Saturday afternoons?
My annual fan contracts have evolved over the years with regards to the Fire and the sport of soccer in general. Whereas I used to sign up for the atmosphere, or the results themselves, now I sign for the athletics, the ideas, and the story of the competition. Sometimes, I even take my Saturday afternoons soccer-free.
I don't have to sing or cry anymore. I salute those fans, those who sign the emotional fan contract. They're stronger than I. They're the ones singing at Toyota Park against Red Bulls in the cold. They're the ones proving the word fan comes from fanatic. They're the ones spending hours upon hours on tifo or travelling all over the country, dealing with airports and buses and Kansas City. Those fans carry the club. They're as much a part of the team as the players.
- TIFO TIMELAPSE: The work put in to create home opener tifo
But then, I'm not one of them. I'm a different kind of fan. I'm a supporter, in the true sense of that word. I want the team to do well and I want to support it towards its goals. My contract with the team is to be a part of that progression.
Nowadays, that supporter contracts costs me two things: my money and my time. I pay to watch the games and I give my time to watch and read about my team.
But as a supporter, I can't stand the occasional debates about who the "real" fans are. They're tiresome. The truth is that it's simply difficult in MLS to figure out the "right" way to support your team. Young, and comprised of mostly young organizations, it's a unique league in the world of soccer. Doesn't it come with a different kind of contract for us to sign now as fans, supporters, consumers, and participants?
In MLS, there is for us American soccer fans the first chance in a generation to support our local team. Our team in our city. Our contract with the league and our team in the league is about something bigger. It's about the idea of growing something that is ours.
Our participation, now, is the basis of American soccer.
It's in that umbrella of growth, that fungal tarpaulin, under which we all stand together. Hipster craft beer MLS fans, soccer moms, whatever. We all struggle with our responsibility, caught between fandom and supporterdom, between Saturday afternoons and the bar - but that's ok. That's part of the uniqueness of our American soccer contract. We get to carve out our own relationships with the team and the league. Like a cartoon rumble, we define it as it defines us, and we roll together down the hill.
Some of us will go to the stadium once a year for the tailgate while others go every week out of unshakeable loyalty to the badge; some of us will go to see a new tactical development while others want to see a guy they played against in high school - the point is that we're all there. Supporters and fans, side by side.
In the end all the arguments about MLS fans are pointless because there is only one way to watch the game. It's the way that makes you want to watch, follow, and maybe buy a shirt or a ticket. That's the way we build this thing - so go and find your way.

Alright class, we've already been through what #QuincyTime is... and if you were sleeping through the lesson here it is again, but nothing really explains it better than these two GIFs below, made possible by a nice meg from Patrick Nyarko to equalize the score on Saturday...
Frank Yallop, Chicago Fire Head Coach and Director of Soccer
On how he felt entering the match
"Confident, you know, we have not lost in two matches and I always look at the positive if I can, and you know we haven't lost in three, that's the way I look at it. We haven't won a game yet this season but again, it's not easy to win games, especially away from home in this league so we are looking forward to playing at home next weekend and hopefully we can get that in."
Sean Johnson, Chicago Fire Goalkeeper
On the team's defensive effort:
"I thought it was good, to be fair. I thought it was just a bit unfortunate. The second goal there was a bit of pinball action around. They got good forcing and I thought we had some similar situations where we had the ball in their box and things didn't really fall our way, but that's just the way it goes, that's soccer for you. I think we've done well and at the end of the day we've got to look at it. We got a point. We came in and I think we deserved three. We played well enough to get three, but it is just up to us to really push over that hump and turn the ties into wins."
On the tough field conditions:
"It's alright, I mean it's part of the game. We train in Chicago – it's been snowy, it's been rainy, it's been cold, so the conditions we are used to. You know, so it's nothing we don't see on a regular basis. The conditions were tough, but at the end of the day, we are professionals, it's what we signed up for and we deal with it."
Quincy Amarikwa, Chicago Fire Forward
On having three consecutive draws
"It's the third straight game we got points, I mean that's how you got to look at it. Not dropping points, especially on the road, is huge in this league. If you look at teams that make the playoffs on a regular basis, they don't lose, they at least get a draw or a win and you know that's how it goes. And if we can come away with points every single time on the road, I will take them."
On the difficult conditions
"You know, whenever it is raining like that it can get a little slick and hard to control the ball at times. You saw that last play; Pat played a good ball in behind that took a touch, on a regular field that holds up, for me today, it skips away. Just the elements you've got to deal with, and hopefully it starts clearing up everywhere across the league because everywhere we've been, the elements haven't been too kind to us."

We gave Fire forward Quincy Amarikwa free reign over our official Twitter account Thursday afternoon for an #AskQuincy session... Here were the results:
After picking up a point in the home opener against Supporter's Shield winners New York last week, the Fire head to D.C. looking to steal all three points for the first time this season (LIVE 3pm CT on NBC Sports Network).
D.C. are in transition and are also in search of their first win. Here are some things to look out for from a tactical perspective:
Continuing to attack with pace - utilizing Alex
Against New York last week, the Fire looked very dangerous on the counter attack when Alex was given space to run at the Red Bulls defense. Not only was the Brazilian able to beat players 1v1 but he drew defenders out of position, opening up space for players like Mike Magee and Quincy Amarikwa to move into.
In D.C.'s last match away in Toronto, Ben Olsen's team was also incapable of defending against the quick counter attack. Michael Bradley and Co. found it much too easy to bypass the lone United defensive midfielder Perry Kitchen who received little help from his fellow midfielders.
I expect D.C. to deploy another central midfielder to help out Kitchen against the Fire, but if the Men in Red can continue to break with that much pace and the interplay between Alex, Magee and Amarikwa continues to improve, the Fire should fare well on Saturday.
More attacking play from wide - taking advantage of D.C. team not fully settled
Against New York last weekend the Fire were forced into making changes at both outside back positions due to injury and suspension respectively.
Matt Watson and Greg Cochrane have had barely any time to work with their new teammates since their recent moves and it showed at times in last week's game. Against D.C., where there is a good chance both will start again, I look for an improvement in the attacking play from both players.
It will also be interesting to see how Watson/Shipp and Cochrane/Joya combine down each flank after another week's worth of training together. While there is certainly a weakness in the D.C. midfield, a balance between attacking down the middle and from the wings is necessary.
With so many new players on the field for D.C., positioning, especially defensive positioning, is a major problem. This was quite obvious in the Toronto match, with D.C. players often gesturing to one another in an attempt to determine who to mark.
If the Fire can get Watson and Cochrane forward to support the attack, it will pin D.C. back and could benefit the away team.
Keeping Eddie Johnson isolated and limiting set pieces - making it harder for D.C. to find the net
D.C.'s most notable offseason acquisition was striker Eddie Johnson, who on his day is one of the league's best strikers. In his first two games however, Johnson was an isolated figure up front, managing only 1.5 shots according to the website Who Scored.
The Fire's defense did a fine job shutting down Thierry Henry last week and will be looking to do the same against Johnson and perhaps register a first shutout of the season. D.C. have yet to score this year but are a major threat from set pieces with players like Jeff Parke, Bobby Boswell and Fabian Espindola looking to get on the end of quality deliveries from Luis Silva.
D.C. got men in the box at any opportunity against both Toronto and Columbus and I expect it to be no different on Saturday. After giving up yet another goal from a set piece last week, the Fire coaching staff will no doubt be encouraging the players to keep their concentration, especially against a team desperate to pick up its first points and goal of the season.
Prediction: 2-0 Fire with goals from Alex and Quincy Amarikwa.

After creating your table, you need to populate it. The
LOAD DATA and
INSERT statements are useful for
Suppose that your pet records can be described as shown here.
(Observe that MySQL expects dates in
'YYYY-MM-DD' format; this may be different
from what you are used to.)
Because you are beginning with an empty table, an easy way to populate it is to create a text file containing a row for each of your animals, then load the contents of the file into the table with a single statement.
You could create a text file
containing one record per line, with values separated by tabs,
and given in the order in which the columns were listed in the
CREATE TABLE statement. For
missing values (such as unknown sexes or death dates for animals
that are still living), you can use
values. To represent these in your text file, use
\N (backslash, capital-N). For example, the
record for Whistler the bird would look like this (where the
whitespace between values is a single tab character):
Whistler Gwen bird \N 1997-12-09 \N
To load the text file
pet.txt into the
pet table, use this statement:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/pet.txt' INTO TABLE pet;
If you created the file on Windows with an editor that uses
\r\n as a line terminator, you should use
this statement instead:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/pet.txt' INTO TABLE pet->
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';
(On an Apple machine running OS X, you would likely want to use
LINES TERMINATED BY '\r'.)
You can specify the column value separator and end of line
marker explicitly in the
DATA statement if you wish, but the defaults are tab
and linefeed. These are sufficient for the statement to read the
pet.txt properly.
If the statement fails, it is likely that your MySQL installation does not have local file capability enabled by default. See Section 6.1.6, "Security Issues with LOAD DATA LOCAL", for information on how to change this.
When you want to add new records one at a time, the
INSERT statement is useful. In
its simplest form, you supply values for each column, in the
order in which the columns were listed in the
CREATE TABLE statement. Suppose
that Diane gets a new hamster named "Puffball." You
could add a new record using an
INSERT statement like this:
INSERT INTO pet->
VALUES ('Puffball','Diane','hamster','f','1999-03-30',NULL);
String and date values are specified as quoted strings here.
Also, with
INSERT, you can insert
NULL directly to represent a missing value.
You do not use
\N like you do with
From this example, you should be able to see that there would be
a lot more typing involved to load your records initially using
INSERT statements rather
than a single

With Apple OS X: Use the terminal's drag and drop capability to insert the full path of the import file. This cuts down on the amount of typing, if you don't want deal with adding the import file into MySQL's data folder.

you can also drag windows files to the command window, but you'll need to change the backslashes to double-backslashes or forwardslashes, and remove the c: at the beginning. If you have quotes around the path, you'll need to delete them as well.

I'm thrilled and amazed about being able to drop files into a console to get the path, but
for people not using the mouse, you can put a path from your home directory using '~/' in the path.
Eg if your file is 'pets.txt' in your home directory
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '~/pets.txt' INTO TABLE pet;
NOTE: This only works on *nix opperating systems and OSX (as far as i know).
NOTE: A blank line at the end of your infile gives wierd results:
| Slim | Benny | snake | m | 1996-04-29 | NULL |Worth keeping an eye on.
| Puffball | Daine | hampster | f | 1999-03-30 | NULL |

I noticed that in case you want to use LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE or the INSERT commands to fill your table fields with data, special care should be taken for INTEGER AUTO_INCREMENT fields. In the case of "LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE" command I pressed TAB where was supposed to enter AUTO_INCREMENT INT value, and it was accepted. In the case of "INSERT INTO table VALUES (.." command I just entered the name of the column <without quotes> where was supposed to supply the value of that field, and it worked! Actually in all cases it worked also when entering any string value like: 'i' or 's'. It will alwys be converted to the required INT value. I thought this may help!

If you are uploading to a remote server, check the file after uploading before using "LINES TERMINATED BY. For example, because Microsoft Excel on my Macintosh writes line endings as '\r' (0x0d), I used the clause LINES TERMINATED BY '\r' in my command. But this gave me a syntax error at the end of the first line. When I remove this clause, it worked! Further investigation showed that the file on the remote server had \n (0x0a) line endings. Apparently, my web hosting provider (DreamHost) automatically changes line endings of uploaded .txt files to the Unix standard.

It seems like mysql ignore trailing whitespaces. Here is my input:

Whistler.TAB.Gwen.TAB.bird.TAB.\N.TAB.1997-12-09 .TAB.\N
Slim.TAB.Benny.TAB.snake.TAB.m.TAB. 1996-04-29.TAB.\N
my tab token is ".TAB." (no whitespace in between). There are few instances where I had a tab and a whitespace and it works as normal. For the example, in the last line, there is a tab, a space and the date 1996-04-29 and it works okay. So mysql ignores white spaces between token.

Note that a tab should be added after each element in the .txt version of the table, even after the last elements in each row.
I skipped the last tab at each row and ended up with a table with "0000-00-00" as death dates instead of NULL, the only death dates which where really correct was death dates for the dog that actually died, and the pet at the very last row.

On Mac OS X, lines of a file are normally terminated by '\n' just like on any other Unix system. The line termination of '\r' is used on the previous Mac operating systems such as OS9. Also, if a file was created on Mac OS9 but used on a Mac OS X system then you need to use '\r' as well. Of course, this last comment goes for any file -- you need to be aware of where it was created and not so much as to where you are using it.

I am using Windows. I originally used the backslash to separate directories as in DOS
mysql> load data local infile 'C:\Users\Matt DesVoigne\Documents\pet.txt' into table pet
-> LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';
That did NOT work. I had to use forward slash to separate directories:
mysql> load data local infile 'C:/Users/Matt DesVoigne/Documents/pet.txt' into table pet
-> LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';
Thank you. Matt

I found on my computer (running Windows XP) that if I loaded the file without specifying "Lines terminated by '\r\n'" that the death dates that were supposed to be null were all '0000-00-00'.
I deleted the information and reinserted the file specifying the line terminator, and it inserted the NULLs correctly.

On a Windows-based system, for the INFILE parameter if using backslashes for the filepath, you'll need to escape the backslashes with an additional backslash:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:\\directory\\path\\to\\file\\pet.txt' into TABLE pet fields terminated by ',' lines terminated by '\n';
The alternative as others have already mentioned is to use forward slashes instead of backslashes.
Below is the input file that I used. In the above LOAD DATA command, I specified "fields terminated by ','" and "lines terminated by '\n'":
Note, depending on how (e.g. text editor used) and/or where (system type) the text file was created, the line termination can be different:
- Line Feed (LF): \n
- Carriage Return (CR): \r
- Carriage Return and Line Feed (CR+LF): \r\n
Wikipedia has an article for 'newline' which goes into much greater detail on this:

* notice the whitespace in between each field is a tab and also **there is a tab following each line**, besides the last line.
I used the syntax:
mysql> LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'C:/Databases/pet.txt' into table pet
-> LINES TERMINATED BY '\r\n';
* This allowed the file to load with no errors or warnings.
I had to piece parts together from a few different peoples posts on here in order to come to this conclusion and have everything working right.

if you are creating source file via loop use character code for tab or "\t" (in example C# i have used "\t" instead of pressing TAB on string line).
Also when you are creating file with null date value (\N) then system showing as 0000-00-00 but when you use NULL for insert command system creating NULL value instead of 0000-00-00. then dba will have extra work to analyze null data isnt it?
Thank you

Hello, here is my solution, took me some time to figure out what was the catch in my case..
OS: WinXP
MySQL: 5.5.8 (included in WAMP server distibution)
INFILE: Made in Notepad, Win XP
Catch was pet.txt file, had to use TAB spacer between, even at last row... Then it still made some NULL rows, so i have positioned my mouse cursor at last row (Slim), behind last NULL word, pressed TAB once, then pressing DELETE so i can knock off those empty spaces..
etc: Fluffy Harold cat f 1993-02-04 \N
Claws Gwen cat m 1994-03-17 \N
Buffy Harold dog f 1989-05-13 \N
Fang Benny dog m 1990-08-27 \N
Bowser Diane dog m 1979-08-31 1995-07-29
Chirpy Gwen bird f 1998-09-11 \N
Whistler Gwen bird \N 1997-12-09 \N
Slim Benny snake m 1996-04-29 \N
It worked, and finally no more NULL rows.
Second, my Load line was:
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'c:/MySQL/pet.txt' INTO TABLE pet;
No TERMINATION line..

Apperently, because of a security issue, the client is set up with local-infile=0. Read here:http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/load-data-local.html
Attempting to load data local infile from the client as stated in the tutorial will result in the following error : ERROR 1148: The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version.
In order to use load data local infile as in the tutorial, use the load-infile option when invoking the client.
From command line, run your client with the load-infile option set to true in order to be able to use load data local infile as in tutorial:
%> mysql --local-infile=1 -p
The instructions for loading data from a local file from the command line work as stated: ie from the shell prompt where the pwd contains the file cr_event_tbl.sql--
%> mysql menagerie < cr_event_tbl.sql
will still work.

Like most admins in unix/linux world we use the terminal, and when using the terminal this usually means, you are local to the box - ie., sitting at the physical keyboard of the mysql server OR you are using ssh to connect via port 22. For this issue of load data local infile, if given the error - ERROR 1148 (42000): The used command is not allowed with this MySQL version, remember, you are remotely connected, and file you wish to import is local already, THUS, simply remove the word LOCAL, as it is already local, and the error message might be a bit misleading.
Here is the correct syntax for a flat.txt file that is already on the mysql server in a /path/file.txt and you are ssh'd into the box from say a laptop or other networked computer.
mysql> load data infile '/path/to/file/pet.txt' into table pet fields terminated by ',';
Query OK, 76 rows affected, 17 warnings (0.00 sec)
Records: 76 Deleted: 0 Skipped: 0 Warnings: 17
*** terminated by is a good option, and there was no need to specify a '\N'.
*** also if you made the mistake of having leading ',' like I did, you can issue a truncate table foo ; to simply remove current table data, and LOAD DATA INFILE again.

This is a reply to Marlon Arenas' question. Hi Marlon. I am a newbie too and I was trying to figure out why when I was uploading the pet.txt file, the "death" date field was showing up as 0000-00-00 instead of as NULL. I realized I needed to add one more tab after the \N at the end of the line. Like this:
Fluffy -Tab Space- Harold -Tab Space- cat -Tab Space- f -Tab Space- 1993-02-04 -Tab Space- \N -Tab Space-
This is the way it should look once you load the file with this format:
mysql> SELECT * FROM pet;
+-----------+--------+---------+------+------------+------------+9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
| name | owner | species | sex | birth | death |
| Fluffy | Harold | cat | f | 1993-02-04 | NULL |
| Claws | Gwen | cat | m | 1994-03-17 | NULL |

Blood, Bones, and Butter: The Inadvertent Education of a Reluctant Chefby Gabrielle Hamilton
Staff Pick
Hamilton is the chef-owner of acclaimed NYC restaurant Prune. Her memoir is compelling, harrowing, beautifully written, and utterly charming, whether she's invoking memories of fields of fireflies or gritty kitchen realities. Anthony Bourdain loves this book, and I think it's magical.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
I wanted the lettuce and eggs at room temperature...the butter-and-sugar sandwiches we ate after school for snack...the marrow bones my mother made us eat as kids that I grew to crave as an adult....There would be no "conceptual" or "intellectual" food, just the salty, sweet, starchy, brothy, crispy things that one craves when one is actually hungry. In ecstatic farewell to my years of corporate catering, we would never serve anything but a martini in a martini glass. Preferably gin.
Before Gabrielle Hamilton opened her acclaimed New York restaurant Prune, she spent twenty fierce, hard-living years trying to find purpose and meaning in her life. Above all she sought family, particularly the thrill and the magnificence of the one from her childhood that, in her adult years, eluded her. Hamilton's ease and comfort in a kitchen were instilled in her at an early age when her parents hosted grand parties, often for more than one hundred friends and neighbors. The smells of spit-roasted lamb, apple wood smoke, and rosemary garlic marinade became as necessary to her as her own skin.
Blood, Bones and Butter follows an unconventional journey through the many kitchens Hamilton has inhabited through the years: the rural kitchen of her childhood, where her adored mother stood over the six-burner with an oily wooden spoon in hand; the kitchens of France, Greece, and Turkey, where she was often fed by complete strangers and learned the essence of hospitality; the soulless catering factories that helped pay the rent; Hamilton's own kitchen at Prune, with its many unexpected challenges; and the kitchen of her Italian mother-in-law, who serves as the link between Hamilton's idyllic past and her own future family — the result of a difficult and prickly marriage that nonetheless yields rich and lasting dividends.
Blood, Bones and Butter is an unflinching and lyrical work. Gabrielle Hamilton's story is told with uncommon honesty, grit, humor, and passion. By turns epic and intimate, it marks the debut of a tremendous literary talent.
"Gabrielle Hamilton has changed the potential and raised the bar for all books about eating and cooking. Her nearly rabid love for all real food experience and her completely vulnerable, unprotected yet pure point of view unveils itself in both truth and inspiration. I will read this book to my children and then burn all the books I have written for pretending to be anything even close to this. After that I will apply for the dishwasher job at Prune to learn from my new queen." Mario Batali
"I have long considered Gabrielle Hamilton a writer in cook's clothing, and this deliciously complex and intriguing memoir proves the point. Her candor, courage, and craft make for a wonderful read but, even more, for an appreciation of her talent and dedication, which have resulted from her often trying but inspiring experiences. Her writing is every bit as delectable and satisfying as her food." Mimi Sheraton, food critic and author of The German Cookbook and Eating My Words
"[A] lusty, rollicking, engaging-from-page-one memoir of the chef-owner of Prune restaurant in New York's East Village. Hamilton opened her eating establishment without any prior experience in cheffing, but the life experiences she did have before that bold move, told here in honest detail, obviously made up for any deficiencies in heading up a restaurant and also provide material for an electric story that is interesting even if the author hadn't become the chef-owner of a successful restaurant. An idyllic childhood turned sour when her parents divorced; her adolescence and young womanhood encompassed drugs, menial jobs, and lack of direction and initiative when it came to continued education. All's well that ends well, however, and her story does indeed do that. Add this to the shelf of chef memoirs but also recommend it to readers with a penchant for forthright, well-written memoirs in general." Booklist
"Dazzling...brilliantly written....[Hamilton] is as evocative writing about people and places as she is at writing about cooking." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Rhapsodic, profane, wonderful....A fabulously talented writer-cook, Gabrielle Hamilton is also a contrarian one, and you never know quite what will come next." The Wall Street Journal
"Hamilton's writing about food is so vivid it could make you half-crazed with hunger, leaving you in front of the open fridge with a cold chicken leg in one hand and the book in the other." The Boston Globe
"Luminous....[Readers will] marvel at Hamilton's masterly facility with language." The Washington Post
"The author/chef is an original — tough, tender, gritty, dreamy....She has written Blood, Bones & Butter with her whole, generous heart." The Miami Herald
"Magnificent. Simply the best memoir by a chef ever. Ever." Anthony Bourdain

LISBON The town is putting off plans to install an online registration system at the Lisbon Beach and Campground in the wake of public outcry.
Lisbon resident Julie L. Snyder delivered a petition to the Town Council with 316 signatures in opposition to the proposed software change at Thursdays meeting.
Its a family campground now, Mrs. Snyder said. We do not want the reservations to go online; we want (campground director) Michael ONeil to be able to view the applications in advance.
Mrs. Snyder said that when she first started going to the campground, police often would be called in to break up big parties. Mr. ONeil, she said, has cleaned up the campground, and an automated reservation system could allow people who have been banned to slip back in.
Mr. ONeil said he doesnt want to lose control of who camps at the beach, but said if an online reservation system allows him to accept or reject requests it could work as long as he is still able to be flexible about keeping large parties together.
Town Councilor Susan M. Duffy said the council will continue looking at online reservation systems, but wont move ahead this year.
The town will give concerned residents the ability to look at any computerized system it feels is best before implementing it, Ms. Duffy said.
Meanwhile, referring to discussion by Councilors Alan D. Dailey and Nathanael G. Putney at Aprils meeting regarding the possible sale of the campground in coming years, residents pointed out that it is making a profit.
Mrs. Snyder said that last year the campground made the town $28,000.
It has never been run better, said Newell T. Martin, a longtime camper. It has never been a nicer place to be than it is right now. The beach is self-sustaining; it makes money.
Mr. Martin said the beach and campground is the only asset the town of Lisbon has. We want it left alone.
Mr. Dailey said the discussion regarding the possible sale of the campground was started because the council is concerned that money from the New York Power Authority will run out soon.
The town has about $190,000 in NYPA money, Mr. Dailey said.
When (the cost of the campground) starts coming onto the general public, thats the time we need to have a discussion about finding something else to do, he said.
Mrs. Duffy said there now are no intentions to sell the beach.

Josh Childress signs with Olympiakos of Greece for 20 mil over 3 years =
Now I can understand Euro players wanting to return home due to circumstances, and being offered a hell of alot more money than NBA teams (Navarro being a perfect example, earning the minimum in the NBA, and multi millions in Europe)
But this I dont understand...............I mean, Childress is still young (Hes not a 30 something going for his last big paycheck), hes got talent, hes had a solid contributing career so far............many teams could have offered him there MLE atleast!
However, he decides to go play in a league that is no better than the D-League (Im sorry, I know there a couple of good teams in Greece.........but overall, its sh*t, and those two teams dominate the league). How could you not want to stay in the best league in the world, that gives you the ultimate exposure and respect around the basketball community, for probably not much less money?
Why else would he do this, other than pure greed? for what is probably 2-3 more million a year.
Alot of you will disagree, argue with me about the level of the Greek league, and just generally talk about loyalty to ones self and going where the money is.............which will all be valid points..............but Im just getting a little sick of it, and I find this move in-particular............quite pathetic.
Ps: WTF! is the crap with NBA teams not being able to match a Euro teams offer on players that they have Bird rights over???.............why can they match any offer from an NBA team but not a Euro team???
*Something* At Its Finest...........Josh Childress
Talk about anything general in the NBA here.

No team even talked to Josh Childress for the sole reason that no one could afford him beyond the mid level. So if anyone offered it, it would of been matched by Atlanta. Comes to think what a **** hole the Hawks organization must be, if u'd rather want to pay in Greece then the Hawks.
But here is where i disagree with u bigstrads. Every pro athlete knows (American or Not) you go where the money is. Just because the NBA is a monopoly, doesnt mean he should be confine to stay there. He's getting paid more in greece, by all means go where the money is. So europeans flocking to the NBA come in hopes of massive deals. Sure they dont get too much there rookie year and couple after, but they are thinking long term (gasol, Dirk examples). But the Jorge garborosas, Juan carlos navarros, which didnt pan out to dreams, go the safe route.
its not ALL about basketball, its about the Benjimins, and Childress went to Stanford, so he clearly knows what he's doing.
Good luck in Greece Josh. Stay away from the Greek mafia!

oh and another thing,
he can opt out after each season. and the 20 million/ over 3 years he is set to make is AFTER taxes. That is a pretty sweet deal.
I think this is just the beginning. Brandon Jennings and Josh Childress are becoming trendsetters for high schoolers and pros (respectively).

I dont think it is greed at all. At least that is not the right word for it. Greed, to me, had a DIRTY connotation to it. The word feels like someone wants more than they truly need and it will come at the expense of others.
I just think it comes down to what someone values most or how they prioritize their wants while making a decision. I certainly am not one to judge someones motivations in making such a personal decision as to where they will live and with who they will be employed... especially when I dont know anything about them.
People have different values when making this decision... some value money the most, others value the quality of live the area they will live provides for them, others where the best schools are, or a job that provides them the best work/live balance, and still others which job challenges them the most.
Additionally with athletes, they have a very small window to make the money that will need to carry them on to the rest of their lives and if responsible, help set up future generations of their family. I cant fault Childress for this.
We also dont know what his goals are for his life. He is a very smart guy as we all know and who knows... maybe he has always dreamed of opening up his own company and knows he will probably need $20 million of seed money to do it the way he wants to do it and he wants to make as much money during his playing career to help realize this dream. I mean WHO really KNOWS.

I whole heartedly agree with that bada. Greed is such a strong word and can be misused. Yes, he may have been a bit overzealous in his pursue for money, but he is smart. He didn't sell anyone out, he didn't hurt anyone in this process. He saw a better deal and took it.
Actually, I'm happy that more mid-level players are going overseas. I want to see Basketball more international and less monopolized. Players are teams get stagnant sometimes, and with that so does the competition. You see these eras of teams that have no real rivals. Not until recently has the competition been picking up. It's probably a cycle, every few years the league goes cold.
But if International leagues begin to pick up and get more talent coursing through their leagues, we could see an uplift of competition throughout the world. There are already the FIBA tournaments to watch us play against Internationals, but seldomly are they broadcasted. With more flux between different leagues' talents, Stern may not be able to control the majority of the best basketball players in the world.
The only real thing that I worry about is that I won't be able to watch some games. Or even worse, foreign commentators trying to commentate in broken English.

I hear ya bigs..... my main point was two fold
1) greed I dont think is the right word becuase of such a negative connotation.
2) we dont know him and what his motivations are. maybe he vacationed in Greece and fell in love with it.... maybe he wants money to build a care facility for children with AIDS in Africa.... or maybe he wants money to buy more cars and a boat.... anyway, I am not going to judge his motivation.

Do you mean the thousands of new member that called him once he was offered a multi million contract? haha.
I just think he wants to poop on all of those white guys. I think he'll come back to the US though after his contract is up.
He can opt out at any time right?

The Canon Elura 50 is a digital video camcorder using the standard MiniDV cassette. It produces the highest quality video possible from non-broadcast equipment. The MiniDV format standard delivers more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution. This is about a 25% improvement in picture quality over the best analog formats. On top of that, because it records both video and audio as digital data, this information can be transferred -- without any loss of picture or audio quality -- to a computer for editing and then transferred back to DV tape without a reduction in either picture or audio quality. All of this is through the use of the IEEE 1394 protocol commonly known as FireWire®.
DV Format Technology and Advantages
The DV format is based on a robust videotape formulation, a sophisticated and computer-based data capture system, the ability to allow the high speed transfer of data from camcorder to tape, and a standard data structuring system. The MiniDV format makes professional quality video affordable.
Digital video delivers better picture quality, sharper images and better color reproduction than analog. Digital recordings are almost immune to signal problems and deliver the highest quality picture and audio. This is a major advantage over analog. Digital is the language of computers, which easily store and transfer data without distortion. It is exactly the same with digital video. Digital copies of digital videos are indistinguishable from the original, which makes editing and image manipulation so much easier and with higher quality than that delivered by analog video technology.
The digital videotape formulation is designed to last longer and even withstand repeated use without failure, which virtually eliminates dropouts while delivering higher output and less noise.
Digital video has approximately twice the horizontal resolution of a standard VHS videocassette recorder. The resolution of a DV standard image is about 25% better than that from an S-VHS or Hi-8 camcorder or deck. While resolution is dependent on a product's components and circuitry, standard VHS and 8mm video are capable of delivering about 250 lines of horizontal resolution with S-VHS and Hi-8 at about 400-420 lines. The DV format is capable of delivering more than 500 lines of horizontal resolution, with actual performance depending on the individual camcorder model. Another way to look at it is that an NTSC digital video signal contains three times the data of its analog counterpart; a PAL digital video signal contains six times the data of its analog counterpart.
Color resolution (or rendition) can be a problem for analog video, producing color blur and color noise. Digital video does not have this problem, delivering a far more life-like video image on the screen. What you will see is much sharper subject edges and clearer color reproduction.
The MiniDV standard ensures that audio quality matches that of an audio CD or digital audio tape (DAT). The audio portion of the digital video signal is recorded digitally. The digital video standard includes Pulse Code Modulation (PCM) audio recording, delivering more than the normal, natural range of sound audible to humans without both distortion and noise.
All digital video equipment also has the analog video outputs (either S-video and/or composite video) found on current analog equipment so you can play a digital video on a regular TV or transfer a digital video onto an analog VCR. If you record using a digital video camcorder, you can then copy the video onto VHS or Super-VHS tapes, 8mm or Hi-8 tapes, or any of the broadcast formats such as 3/4-inch or Betacam if they have the appropriate input connectors.

The Rangers will bring the following 37 forwards, 20
defenders and six goaltenders to training camp according to Andrew Gross:
Forwards Artem Anisimov Jonathan Audy-Marchessault Sean Avery Ryan Bourque Brian Boyle Ryan Callahan Erik Christensen Andre Deveaux Brandon Dubinsky Ruslan Fedotenko Marian Gaborik Tommy Grant Carl Hagelin Jordan Hickmott Tayler Jordan Kale Kerbashian Chad Kolarik Shane McColganJ.T. Miller John Mitchell Kris Newbury Brandon Prust Brad Richards Mike Rupp Michael St. Croix Derek Stepan Kelsey Tessier Christian Thomas Andreas Thuresson Dale Weise Jason Wilson Wojtek Wolski Andrew Yogan Mats Zuccarello
Scott Tanski
Chris McKelvie
Matt Rust
Defensemen Lee Baldwin Brendan Bell Stu Bickel Collin Bowman Peter Ceresnak Michael Del Zotto Steve Eminger Tim Erixon Dan Girardi Sam Klassen Tomas Kundratek Ryan McDonagh Dylan McIlrath Jyri Niemi Jared Nightingale Samuel Noreau Blake Parlett Mike Sauer Marc Staal Pavel Valentenko
Goaltenders Martin Biron Chad Johnson Henrik Lundqvist Jason Missiaen Scott Stajcer Cameron Talbot
All the tryout invitees from Traverse City were brought to training camp. The Rangers didn't invite any veteran players
to training camp as they have in the past. Interestingly, puglist Randy McNaught is not listed on the roster. Also, $6.5 million AHL defenseman Wade Redden wasn't invited to camp.
Today will be Coach John Tortorella's infamous endurance
skating test, designed to test conditioning. Mike Sauer, who tweaked his knee at an informal practice, and Blake
Parlett, who was injured at Traverse City, won't participate in "The
Training camp is (finally) set to open and a new season of
Rangers hockey is upon us. Expectations
are through the roof thanks to a surprising campaign in 2009-2010, the
development of impressive young players and the signing of star center Brad Richards,
but before we get to the regular season, there is still the matter of
finalizing the roster and that could present some difficult decisions for Coach
John Tortorella.
Here are the six battles to watch at training camp:
Wojtek Wolski vs. Himself – The enigmatic left wing has
reportedly been
working his tail off this summer and may finally be ready to make the most
of his potential. But even if Wolski is
in tremendous physical shape and has matured as a person and player, he'll
still have to fend off critics, convince the coaching staff of his revival and
keep himself focused on the task at hand. Wolski has been a frequent scapegoat in recent years, which can take a
huge mental toll, so that's easier said than done. If Wolski can tune out everything except what
happens on the ice, he has the talent to have a huge impact for the Blueshirts.
First-Line Left Wing – Brandon Dubinsky skated alongside
Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik at
the team's informal skates this month, but it's unclear whether that's the
preference of Tortorella or simply experimentation by the players. In any case, Dubinsky appears to be the
leading contender for first-line duties, though Wolski could pose a major
challenge if he's focused. Ruslan
Fedotenko and Sean Avery also have their supporters, but it would be a major
shock if they won the job. Avery, Mike
Rupp and Carl Hagelin will be fighting for playing time on the bottom lines.
Dale Weise vs. The Field – Weise has become the forgotten
prospect thanks to the considerable young talent the Rangers have stockpiled,
but there are still plenty that believe Weise is destined for a solid career as
a third- or fourth-line player. Weise
played 10 games for the Rangers last year while the team suffered through a
plague of injuries and did an admirable job of filling in. There are several more talented players with
greater potential at camp, but Weise has plenty of AHL seasoning and may be
more NHL-ready than his younger counterparts. Whether he can push a veteran off the roster may be the bigger question.
Sean Avery vs. John Tortorella – Avery has frequently found
himself in Coach John Tortorella's doghouse since returning to New York in 2009
and his penchant for drawing negative attention both on the ice and off it,
where he made plenty of headlines this summer, makes him a major question mark
entering camp. There's no denying that
Avery has the speed, passing ability and forechecking prowess to be an
effective NHL player even at the age of 31, but is he worth all the
trouble? Maybe under a different coach,
but Tortorella may have had enough. Avery will face an uphill climb, but there's a chance that he'll click
with Richards and Gaborik when others can't and that could be one way he forces
himself onto the opening night roster.
Christian Thomas vs. Mats Zuccarello – Barring a strange set
of circumstances, Zuccarello is in good shape to secure a spot on the opening
night roster. How long he'll last is
another question, because it's become clear that some are skeptical about
Zuccarello's chances of succeeding in the NHL. The Norwegian Hobbit is a shootout magician and makes for a great story,
but his size may be too much of an obstacle to overcome. Thomas played decently
at Traverse City, but he would
have to blow the team away at camp to secure a permanent job. Still, he could play nine games for the
Rangers before
they would have to decide whether to keep him on the NHL squad permanently
or return him to juniors. In all
likelihood, Thomas will spend one more year with the Oshawa Generals while the
Rangers figure out what they have in Zuccarello, but Thomas has the talent to
make this a competition and Zuccarello's popularity could be waning.
Tim Erixon vs. Michael Del Zotto vs. Steve Eminger vs.
Brendan Bell vs. Tomas Kundratek vs. Pavel Valentenko – The top-four defensemen
are set in stone, but what the Rangers choose to do with their final two, and
probably three, blueline spots is up in the air. Erixon was stolen
from Calgary in a June trade and seems poised to have a major impact this
year. If he plays well at training camp,
he'll win a roster spot. Del Zotto is
coming off a rollercoaster season and might
be best served by some additional time with the CT Whale, but after Erixon
he's the most talented player of this group. Eminger is the veteran journeyman that knows the system, so if there is
any uncertainty he'd be the logical guy to win a job. Bell was a depth signing that hasn't played
in the NHL since 2009, but he offers some security and wouldn't be a bad
seventh defender. Kundratek is rock-solid
defensively while Valentenko brings a rocket of a slap shot and impressive
shot-blocking ability. Both are expected
to return to the CT Whale, but Valentenko was a late cut last September and
both of these players are thought to be nearly NHL-ready. The best guess is that Erixon and Eminger
start the season as the third pair and Bell is carried as the seventh
defenseman, but any of the other three could surprise at camp and could also be
called up shortly after the start of the season.

Sometimes it's the car, sometimes it's the driver.
Whether you are racing, cruising, stopping or crashing, safe driving comes down to a mix of equipment and personnel.
The same can be said for mutual funds and exchange-traded funds, and while there is growing consensus that ETFs are the better vehicle, there's growing evidence that the people using them may not be so skilled behind the wheel.
That's a real issue because a number of studies seem to indicate that the "better" investment vehicle isn't delivering better results.
Is 'buy and hold' the best investing strategy?
New research suggests that for the average investor, "set it and forget it" may still be the best advice. Chuck Jaffe joins MoneyBeat. Photo: Dario Cantatore/NYSE Euronext.
In an attempt to figure out why, let's look at the issue, and some of the latest research, done by MarketWatch columnist Mark Hulbert, editor of the Hulbert Financial Digest.
For starters, some of the folks who are giving up on traditional funds in favor of ETFs clearly don't seem to understand the basics, like the reader who recently told me he had "stopped wasting time on funds because ETFs are so much better."
The 'F' in ETF stands for "funds," and it's only because ETMF is longer that they are not widely recognized as "exchange-traded mutual funds." In some cases—with Vanguard's ETFs, for example—ETFs are simply a different share class of the same underlying pool of assets and management style.
The difference, therefore, is mostly in the "exchange-traded" part, because ETFs trade moment by moment, where traditional mutual funds only trade once per day.
Functionally, both are similar investment vehicles built on a different chassis, just like cars—where one can be built for speed and another for safety or utility.
ETFs have other advantages besides ease of trading, like lower expense ratios and no front- or back-end sales charges and redemption fees. While there are brokerage commissions on trades, some of those can be waived.
Perhaps more importantly, ETFs can be structured in a way to take what the experts call a "granular" focus on a niche or an industry. If you believe you can goose a portfolio by adding the stocks of, say, Bulgaria, or of just companies in the semi-conductor business, there's an ETF for you.
Amid market turmoil, just be calm
The more confusing the market seems to get, the more investors need to develop their voice of reason. Marketwatch's Chuck Jaffe joins MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.
If, however, you believe that active management works and you want to hire a manager to run your money rather than basing a portfolio entirely on an index, you lose a lot of choices and flexibility on the ETF side of things.
But the real issue here comes from how the different investment vehicles are used. Jack Bogle, founder of the Vanguard Group and the patron saint of index investing, has long been a critic of ETFs, mostly because he believes that if you give someone a trading vehicle, eventually they will trade.
That is what seems to be borne out by the numbers and why ETFs may be a superior investment option that is delivering inferior results.

A comprehensive four-year study of warming in the Arctic shows that heat-trapping gases from tailpipes and smokestacks around the world are contributing to profound environmental changes, including sharp retreats of glaciers and sea ice, thawing of permafrost and shifts in the weather, the oceans and the atmosphere.
The economic viability of drilling for hydrocarbons and mining ore will only increase the warmer the arctic becomes. Given the inevitability of global warming, its foolhardy to think that antartica can be protected from exploitation and development. The worst case scenario is not just the development of antartica, but of wars between nations reminiscent of the wars caused by the discovery of the americas by europe. The arctic treaty only works because antarctica is so inhospitable, if global warming can't be stopped then neither can the exploitation of anarctica.
The possiblity of exploiting antartica only becomes compounded by the increasing cost for crude oil, and the crisis countries will be forced to deal with as sea levels rise and low lying areas become flooded.
There are essentially 3 plausable results for a warmer, more hospitable antarctica.
1. Antartica becomes divided into different segments for several different nations.
2. Antartica becomes wholly controlled by a single country
3. Antartica becomes an independent nation with its own populace.
Does anyone else feel that antarticas development is not only regretfully inevitable, but rapidly approaching?

Living in Emergency: Stories of Doctors Without Borders
In the war-zones of Liberia and Congo, four volunteers with Doctors Without Borders struggle to provide emergency medical care under extreme conditions. With different levels of experience, each volunteer must find their own way to face the challenges, the tough choices, and the limits of their idealism. "Living in Emergency" is a window into the seldom portrayed and less-than glamorous side of humanitarian aid work. It explores a world that is challenging, complex, and fraught with dilemmas--the struggles, both internal and external, that aid workers face when working in war zones and other difficult contexts.

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
ATOMIC Day in Schladming: two victories, three crystal globes and many tears of happiness! Marcel Hirscher risked everything in the second heat on his ATOMIC D2 RACE and it paid off – his 9th victory of the season, resulting in the victory of the giant slalom World Cup and the leadership of the overall World Cup by 25 points before the final slalom on Sunday. Michaela Kirchgasser won the slalom and Marlies Schild, ranking third, won her 5th crystal globe.
Marcel Hirscher closed his eyes in the finish and enjoyed the cheers and screams of thousands of ski fans that created stadium atmosphere in the World Championships finish of Schladming. Then he screamed of happiness and lifted the giant slalom crystal globe up to the blue sky. "Actually I don't get anything now. I've never risked this much in my career as I just did in the second run. Everyone was talking about this stupid glass bowl. Pressure was immense. It means so much to me that I won the giant slalom crystal globe and that the overall World Cup will work out for me", Marcel Hirscher was sputtering in his first interview. And then added, "Fighting pays off and you also have to be lucky."
