Preaching patience, Hamilton makes Angels spring debut
TEMPE, Ariz. – When Josh Hamilton stepped to the plate Tuesday for his second plate appearance with the Angels, he took the first pitch, then flashed a look in the direction of Jim Eppard.
One of baseball's most aggressive first-pitch swingers, Hamilton said he and his new hitting coach have been trying to dial it back just a bit.
"Everybody knows I like to swing if it's around the strike zone," Hamilton said. "I talked to Ep about working on taking more pitches and maybe walking some. He's trying to get me to do it in batting practice and it hasn't been too successful."
Last season Hamilton swung at the first pitch 48 percent of the time, the second consecutive year he led the majors in that category. You can make a case that Hamilton shouldn't fix what isn't broken, because he still put up big numbers in those years. However, his best offensive season in Texas was 2010, which also happens to be the year he swung at the fewest number of first pitches, only 41 percent. Hamilton won the MVP that season.
"If you don't think you need to work on something, you aren't going to be striving to get better," Hamilton said. "You'll get complacent. There is always something you can get better at. You talk about the guys with good strike-zone recognition and walks and on-base percentage and things like that. It's about helping your team."
Eppard said, despite Hamilton's success with his current approach, the Angels would still like to see a little more discipline.
"We'd like him to strike out less, and walk more," Eppard said.
That being said, don't expect Hamilton to change dramatically. He concedes that he will always prefer swinging to working the count.
"If it's late in the game and you need a real tough at-bat, it's different," Hamilton said, "but you have a better chance of swinging at three strikes than one."
Hamilton did swing at the first pitch in his other two trips, grounding out the first time and swinging and missing in the third at-bat, which he still worked to six pitches before he hit a fly out. After taking that pitch in the second at-bat, Hamilton hit a fly out on the second.
It made for an 0-for-3 debut for the Angels' $125 million offseason acquisition.
Before the game, Hamilton caught a glance of the Angels logo on his chest and mentioned to Jered Weaver, "That's kind of weird."
Weaver's reply: "Yeah it is. But I like it."
Albert Pujols, the only Angels regular who has not appeared in a spring training game, is still limited to fielding ground balls hit directly at him and running on the treadmill. He is hitting without restrictions.
Pujols, rehabbing from offseason knee surgery, plans to begin running on the field later this week, but he still won't be able to run the bases for a few more days after that.
Manager Mike Scioscia is still expecting Pujols to be ready for the April 1 opener.
"If opening day was on the horizon he might feel the need to push it a little," Scioscia said. "He really doesn't need to be in games till the second week of March. I anticipate he'll play before then."
Right-hander Ryan Madson threw from 75 feet for a second consecutive day, the first time since his Feb. 1 setback that he has thrown on back-to-back days. Madson needs to stretch out to about 150 to 180 feet before he can get back on the mound, so he's still a few weeks from getting into a game. ... Left-hander Sean Burnett might be ready to get back on the mound in a few days, Scioscia said. Burnett has been out because of a stiff back. ... Alberto Callaspo has lost most of the extra pounds he brought to camp, Scioscia said. Scioscia estimated that Callaspo came to camp 18-20 pounds overweight, but Callaspo has been doing extra work in the two weeks he's been here and now "he's only a handful of pounds away." ... The Angels re-assigned right-hander Tony Pena to minor league camp. Pena, a veteran big league reliever, did not have a chance to make the team because he's still months away from completing his rehab from Tommy John surgery. Pena had the surgery in August 2011, but he had a setback in October 2012.

text: Benefits Legal Constraints Hurt Public Pensions' Adaptability August 6, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – Legal constraints make it difficult for public pension plans to adjust to changing economic and demographic conditions, a report contends. By Rebecca Moore firstname.lastname@example.com | August 06, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article An issue brief released by the Center for State and Local Government Excellence points out that most states protect pensions under a contracts-based approach, which prohibits a state from passing any law that impairs existing public or private contracts. There are currently a number of lawsuits against states that have attempted to reform public pensions by changing the benefits retirees will receive or the amount of contributions employees will make into their retirement funds (see "Unions Challenge R.I. Pension Changes with Lawsuits"). Report authors Alicia H. Munnell and Laura Quinby of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College say the protection of future accruals of core benefits serves to lock in any benefit expansions, limiting policymakers' ability to respond to changing economic conditions, but future benefits, much like future payroll, should be allowed to vary based on economic conditions. That is, public officials should be able to change future benefits for current workers. Such increased flexibility for public employers would accord their employees the same protections as workers in the private sector, the report says. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), which governs private pensions, protects accrued benefits but allows employers to change the terms going forward.

Nobody can afford to fall for Tiger's smile
The problem with Tiger Woods, according to his friend Michael Jordan, is that he hears everything.
Jordan has never bought the notion that Woods stalked the golf course utterly desensitised to his surroundings. Tiger, he argued, genuinely cared what people thought of him when his private life unravelled in public.
'Reputation, reputation, reputation - O, I have lost my reputation,' wails Cassio, the disgraced lieutenant in Shakespeare's play, Othello. 'I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial.'
On the prowl: Tiger Woods looked happy during his pre-Masters practice round at Augusta on Tuesday
Jordan's reaction to the crisis Tiger faced would have been to play a game of such extreme achievement he rewrote the headlines to his satisfaction. Consider basketball star Kobe Bryant, or for a British equivalent, former England captain John Terry. Neither man has ever been much daunted by infamy.
Tiger, instead, retreated behind a wall of rehabilitation and therapy and winced his way around parts of the countryside he once owned. He heard it all.
And when Woods is around, a lot of other people hear stuff, too. They hear the intimate details of his life and thinking from former employees in diss-and-tell books; they hear the wisdom of experts on sporting psychology; sometimes they hear his movements updated hour by hour through the night.
All smiles: Woods answers questions during a press conference following his practice round
'Tiger's in Bar West,' announced the young lady drinking on Augusta's Central Street on Monday evening. She read the news off a text on her phone. The establishment advertises itself as a Martini Bar & Lounge and its Facebook site promises dubstep music and HBO boxing. Lively for a weekday in Georgia, then.
Was Tiger in Bar West? Who knows? The type of parties he used to enjoy at the Masters did not take place in public view. There is a photograph of him on the wall at the local branch of Hooters, but it is young Tiger who is enjoying the hospitality, on one of his earliest visits.
He has been coming here 18 years, he told Luke Donald on the practice ground on Tuesday morning. When he emerged from purdah two years ago, he came out at Augusta, and at this tournament, where he felt protected.
The gallery awaits: Woods and his caddie Joe LaCava during their practice round
Asked about where he is now, compared to that day two years ago, raw and vulnerable, having had his psyche stripped in private counselling, Woods retreated to his safe haven, with platitudes about familiar surroundings, that had nothing to do with the question asked.
Woods may hear everything, but he often hears what he wants to hear, too. Required to consider his professional and emotional development, the question Woods chose to answer was: 'Isn't Augusta a pretty golf course?'
Question: 'Can you talk about where you feel you are now compared to where you were in 2010?'
Fist pump: Woods bonds with Masters legend Fred Couples on the fifth fairway
Woods (buying time): 'Say again?'
Question: 'Where you are now to where you were two years ago?'
Woods: 'Well, I wasn't hitting the ball very good. It was just having an understanding of how to play around this golf course, and that's certainly, as I was explaining earlier, is that coming to a golf course that we play each and every year certainly helps. And playing here for so many years now; this is, as I said, my 18th year, so understanding how to play this golf course has really helped me over the years.'
Question: 'Yes, but, what about personally, because obviously two years ago it seemed a very cathartic experience for you.'
Back in the swing: Woods hits from the fairway on the fifth hole during his practice round
Woods: 'Yeah, but it's also coming here to a golf course that I know. As I said, knowing how to play it, and just the history behind this tournament makes it so special.'
All the while, Mark Steinberg, Woods's agent, was trying to curtail interview time from the back of the room. His client had told the folksy anecdote involving Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, he had addressed the odd local golf writer by his first name. He had smiled, winningly. Tiger's work here was done.
What his rivals are probably tired of hearing is the expectation that the Tiger of old is back, following his victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill last month. His resurgence is reflected on betting sites, where he is the Masters favourite, and on the pages of Sports Illustrated, which declare that his duel with Rory McIlroy is the only story in golf.
Eye on the ball: Former world No 1 Woods is looking to win his fifth green jacket this week
Not an unexpected one either, according to Lee Westwood. 'I didn't see any reason why Tiger wouldn't be back,' said the Englishman. 'I've been through a similar period with a slip in form and eventually you figure it out. It's just a case of when. The difference is that once you have gone through it, there is scar tissue. You know you don't feel quite as bulletproof as you once did.'
Woods is recovering, though. In Abu Dhabi last January he invited McIlroy to play nine practice holes. A generous gesture. The great champion passing his knowledge to a young rival; a sign of personal change. Perhaps.
The more cynical take was that Woods, knowing he was playing well, wanted to show McIlroy first-hand what he would be up against this season. Tiger didn't win but he came a lot closer to doing so than McIlroy.
'I didn't know much about him,' Woods recalled. 'I had not played with him, so that was the first chance to really sit down and talk. It was fun for both of us. He can really move it out there. He has the makings of a great champion for a long period of time. I used to move it like that back in yesteryear.'
He smiled again, but nobody was falling for that one, certainly not McIlroy. Tiger isn't the only one with his ear to the ground.

Ducks give up late goal, then fall in shootout
BOSTON – If facing one of the NHL's perennial top teams was a measuring stick Thursday night, the Ducks measured up mighty fine.
They just couldn't add to their win column.
Satisfaction was only partial for the Ducks, who couldn't finish off last season's Stanley Cup finalist Boston Bruins and ultimately dropped a 3-2 shootout decision at TD Garden.
Jarome Iginla got the only shootout goal. It followed Zdeno Chara's tying power-play score with 2:50 left that hurt the Ducks (10-3-1), who picked up another point in the standings but failed to hold onto the other as their three-game win streak ended.
"The guys are disappointed," Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau said. "They want to win every game. That's why the record is what it is right now. They're not going to be happy with a shootout loss.
"We wanted that extra point. We didn't get it. I would expect nobody to be happy."
What the Ducks have left is proof that they can dictate a game against a premier opponent. The Bruins had just one shot on goal in the first period and could only push Carl Soderberg's first NHL goal past Ducks goalie Jonas Hiller for 57-plus minutes.
Devante Smith-Pelly and Mathieu Perreault put the Ducks in position for another triumph by scoring and assisting on each other's goals. Patrick Maroon's tripping penalty late in the third opened up a final chance for Bruins that was cashed in.
"We almost made it through," said Hiller, who made 21 stops. "But we don't want every game to end on a (penalty kill) like the last two games. Sometimes, somewhere, it's going to cost you.
"That definitely hurts. We won a point but we'd rather get two."
In the shootout, Nick Bonino and Corey Perry lost the puck on their attempts while Ryan Getzlaf fired a shot off the right post.
"I flubbed my shot," Perry said. "He took away what I wanted to do and he beat me. Sometimes that's going to happen."

WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
Amazon refreshes entry-level Kindle

Two versions of the all-new Kindle are available, priced at $80 including "Special Offers" and $100 without. http://amzn.to/28Q4c3R

Top 10 Reasons I'll Never Use Ubuntu
1. It's too inexpensive. In fact, paying is only an option & I don't feel compelled to pay for it. It's just not as fun owning an operating system I don't have to pay for.
2. It's too pretty. The ability to apply any theme, or build my own, ruins my sense of camaraderie with my fellow OS users. Where's the sense in complete personalization?
3. It's too fun. Computers were never meant to be fun. When they become fun they become dangerous.
4. It's updated too frequently.

Vampire post new material
Love you Voivod. Underrated band. Their 12 demo should have took off on here but regardless these tracks kill hard.
Pretty awesome modern death/thrash. Gonna be looking for this album when it comes out!
I don't like the way their sound is produced at all. It's obviously a conscious decision by the band, but I think it ruins it.
Kickass. Thrashy vampyric death metal is a niche I didn't even know I was looking to fill

Sorry, no bio currently available
My background is Engineering. I have both a BS and MS in Electrical Engineering. My specialties are in computer hardware and software. I have been an active investor for 10 years and now my full time activities are trading stocks. I swing trade using technical analysis.
Independent writer/trader/investor whose primary interests are in the stem cell and biotech arena. Secondary interest is in oil/energy speculation.

I'M NOT A FINANCIAL ADVISOR & ONLY GIVE MY OPINIONS. SEEK EXPERT ADVICE ELSEWHERE. ;) Investment Philosophy: Understand why you are getting in and cut your loss immediately if PPS goes down while behaving differently than you expected. Don't ride it down! I never go all in on any one stock and take the basis off the table when possible. Another thought is to never ride through a binary event such as a trial ending without a hedge of some kind. I never put in more than I can afford to lose if the trade goes wrong. My positions, long or short can change dramatically as new information comes to my attention. And, don't follow me into a penny stock without realizing they are HIGHLY risky and you can lose ALL of your investment. All stocks are risky, especially, biotech.
Education is an undergraduate degree in Business Administration and Management. Masters' in Organizational Management.
Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle. ;)

After many years practicing at some of the world's largest and well-known law firms, we established and now run a premier intellectual-property boutique law firm, where we continue to practice patent litigation.
We have litigated numerous high-stakes patent cases in federal district courts throughout the country, as well as at the appellate level before the Federal Circuit. We are also experienced in USPTO proceedings, and have advised clients across a wide swath of technical areas with respect to patent-related matters.
Our base of former and current legal clients is diverse, from technology start-ups to some of the world's largest and most well-known corporations. Collectively, we have led those clients through numerous Markman hearings, summary judgment motions, trials and appeals – on both the offensive and defensive sides of a case.
Our patent litigation experience, coupled with our knowledge of the market for "patent play" stocks, is the alpha we bring to each patent litigation-driven investment opportunity.

Skyline Campground
There's nothing like the sound of a babbling brook mere steps from your bed, where you know you can get an ice-cold cup of the best-tasting water you've ever had. But maybe you'd rather be sleeping near the beach so you can go for a quick swim every morning. Or perhaps your ideal getaway is deep in the forest where you can fall asleep to the sound of crickets. Whatever your pleasure, a few days getting back to nature is always a good thing.
Leaving nature as you found it is also a good thing, so be sure to pay attention to fire danger levels and other local restrictions at Skyline Campground so as to not damage nature's beauty.
It might seem like "roughing it" would be an easy thing to do on the spur of the moment, but the reality is that when the weather gets nice, everyone has the same idea at the same time - to go camping.

About Elly
Taraneh Alidoosti stars in a gripping, award-winning mystery-thriller from Oscar-winning Iranian writer-director Asghar Farhadi.
Sadomasochistic homoerotic yakuza thriller from Takashi Miike, director of Audition. Guaranteed to offend with its extreme violence and insouciant amorality
A film that had already developed a cult reputation on in the UK before its official release, Takashi Miike's Ichi The Killer blurs the boundaries between thriller and horror with the kind of masterful panache that the world has come to expect from Japan's most innovative filmmaker.
Based on an ultra-violent manga 'Koroshiya 1' by Hideo Yamamoto (who later teamed up with the director to produce an animated feature of the same story), Ichi The Killer is a bloodthirsty tale of a yakuza war that gives gang lieutenant Kakihara (Asano, Distance, Gohatto) a chance to explore his deepest sadomasochistic desires. Tracking misfit hit-man Ichi (Omori) through the city, Kikhara takes his obsessive belief in the principles of no pain, no gain to epic heights of perversity.
In keeping with Miike's obsession with reworking contemporary genres, Ichi The Killer is as much a splatter movie as a yakuza thriller, with Kakihara's violent interrogation methods (one character is suspended by meat hooks in his back, then has boiling oil poured over his skin) and limitless capacity for self-abuse (he enjoys being hung up on chains and beaten vigorously) playing up the gory horror. Employing CGI, Miike takes the nastiness to manga comic extremes, bending the laws of cinematic realism to suit the demands of his perversely humorous vision (which explains why the BBFC were willing to release the film with only three minutes and 15 seconds of cuts). The scene in which Kakihara cuts out his own tongue as an apology to his yakuza masters and then has to answer his mobile phone is typical of Miike's desire to induce more laughs than screams.
Although bolstering the grossness with several asides on sadomasochistic desire and the homoerotic bond between Ichi and Kakihara, this never really convinces as anything other than a fiendishly inventive splatter movie. Which is no doubt exactly what Miike intended it to be.
Ultra-violent action from Japan's leading cult director that plays fast and loose with genre conventions to deliver an innovative - and frequently revolting - work of cult Asian cinema.
Taraneh Alidoosti stars in a gripping, award-winning mystery-thriller from Oscar-winning Iranian writer-director Asghar Farhadi.
Anton Yelchin stars in Stephen Sommers' charged adaptation of Dean Koontz's supernatural novel.

The SUNY Emerging Leader Awards acknowledge students who have best demonstrated significant leadership on campus and within their community. Butta received her honor in the Entrepreneurial Century category, an integral part of the Power of SUNY program, which has been designed to foster ideas and actions that improve the lives of New York State residents.
In addition to her studies, Butta is a student ambassador/aide in FIT's Student Life department and president of the Merchandising Society, FIT's largest club. Her entrepreneurial endeavors include arranging for associates from Macy's to address the student body.
Butta earned her AAS in Fashion Merchandising Management from FIT in 2011, and is currently working toward a BS degree in the same major, with an anticipated graduation date of May 2013. Butta, an Old Bridge, NJ, native, holds a 3.62 grade point average.
The Emerging Leader Awards have recognized 17 students from 14 SUNY campuses in its inaugural year. The recipients were selected for bolstering the Power of SUNY's strategic efforts in six areas: Seamless Education Pipeline, Healthier New York, Energy-Smart New York, Vibrant Community, the World, and Entrepreneurial Century. To be eligible for the award, students must have a grade point average of at least 3.0 and have been nominated on their campuses.
"We are proud to offer this new award, which recognizes SUNY students who have proven to be leaders in the areas that SUNY has identified as the driving tenets of its own strategic plan," said Chancellor Zimpher. "Our first group of emerging leaders has set the bar high for future honorees: decreasing campus energy use, promoting a charitable blood drive, and even helping usher local students through the GED and community college enrollment processes. Congratulations to all of our emerging leaders."
The State University of New York is the largest comprehensive university system in the United States, educating approximately 468,000 students in more than 7,500 degree and certificate programs on 64 campuses with nearly 3 million alumni around the globe.
FIT is a leader in career education in art, design, business, and technology, with a wide range of programs that are affordable and relevant to today's rapidly changing industries.

National News
A paddle boarder had part of his hand bitten off as he attempted to fight off a shark on the New South Wales north coast.
The 29-year-old man also suffered a deep gash to his thigh when he was attacked by what is believed to be a bull shark at Diamond Head, about 50 kilometres south of Port Macquarie, at 10.45am on Friday (local time).
A NSW Ambulance spokeswoman said paramedics arrived to find a 29-year-old man, who is believed to be from the Central Coast, with shark bites to his hand and thigh.
"The man lost his index finger and knuckle as a result of the attack," the spokeswoman said. The victim was flown by helicopter to John Hunter Hospital for treatment.
News reports said the man, who was camping at Diamond Head with family and friends, was surfing with friends when a pod of dolphins came through the waves. About 10 minutes later, he was attacked.
The shark hit him three times and it is understood he was injured trying to fend off the animal. He was assisted from the water by friends.
The beach where the attack occurred is located within the Crowdy Bay National Park, and close to the Kylies Beach campground. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service says on its website that the beaches in the national park are "crowd free".
Adam Eady, from the Crowdy Head Surf Life Saving Club, south of the attack site, said beaches from Crowdy Head to Camden Haven to the north had closed as a precautionary measure.
Surf Life Saving NSW spokeswoman Donna Wishart said the attack occurred at an unpatrolled beach in a "reasonably remote location".
"He was surfing on a stand-up paddle board when the shark bit him on his left thigh," she said.
"He also sustained injuries to his hand trying to force the shark away. Ambulance officers have treated the man at the scene."
A shark expert from the NSW Department of Primary Industries is believed to be travelling to the area, she said.
Dean Storey, Surf Life Saving NSW Lifesaving Manager, said shark attacks were very rare and people were at far greater risk of drowning.
He said there had been five coastal drownings in NSW in December.
"Holidaymakers who are concerned about sharks should stick to swimming at patrolled locations," he said.
"That way lifesavers and lifeguards can clear the water in the event of a shark sighting and first aid support and equipment is immediately available."

Sour Cream Chicken Nachos
It's a bit over a week until the Superbowl, and I'm sure that your party menu is already planned, if you are doing one. As promised, here's an additional post with a recipe using another of Brooklyn Salsa Company's products. I've been having a great time this week making a couple of different dishes with their salsa, and I've passed out some hints to friends about other ideas for meals to make with a few of their flavors.
The Staten Island salsa with its tomatillo and tomato roots provides the flavor base for these Sour Cream Chicken Nachos (photo below). The first time I had these was when I went to Texas to visit a friend from college. It was love at first bite with the spicy chicken, cool sour cream, gooey cheese, and crunchy tortilla chips. Back in Virginia, we didn't really have much Tex-Mex. I'd eaten tacos with packaged seasoning and shells from a box, but that was about as far as anything resembling Mexican food ever got. Well, except for the Chili con Queso I mentioned previously.
I'd even had something that I can only now call deconstructed tacos, with all the components laid out on a table. Originally, that idea came from someone's Girl Scout camping trip, I believe, and went by the name of "Fork Tacos" in our house. This drives my sister-in-law completely crazy because you scoop up the meat and toppings with a tortilla chip and not a fork. It's an existential argument, but she can dispute the point for hours. I've actually been around when this has happened.
This is a perfect dish to make to get your Superbowl party started. You can pull a big plate of these together and let everyone just dig in for themselves, serving them with cool, creamy, citrusy Guacamole. The chicken can even be prepared the day before (just pack it up with some extra sauce to keep it tender). This recipe came about in part because I was trying to make Enchiladas Suizas. They didn't really come out all that great, but I had all this leftover meat. I really actually prefer nachos anyway with the crunch of the chips as a contrast to the soft, gooey toppings, so I changed the recipe around, which I think came out better in the end anyway.
Buon appetito!
Sour Cream Chicken Nachos
Prep Time: About 30 minutes, more like 45 if you need to poach the chicken
Serving Size: As many nachos as you can fit on a plate!
1 Tbsp. vegetable or canola oil
1/2 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and finely minced
1/4 c. white onion, minced
2-3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
1 c. Brooklyn Salsa Company Staten Island salsa (or your favorite mild salsa)
1 Tbsp. Brooklyn Salsa Company Brooklyn salsa (optional, I just wanted more heat)
1/4 c. water
1 c. chicken stock (or chicken poaching water)
1/4 tsp. salt
Tortilla chips, your favorite brand
Sour cream
Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
Heat oil in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Put jalapeno and onion into pan and let cook over medium heat until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Take care not to let them get browned or burnt. Add chicken and salsa and stir to incorporate. Pour in chicken stock and water. Bring mixture to a boil and then turn the heat down to let it simmer.
Cook for about 15 minutes, until almost all the liquid has been absorbed into the meat. If you are not going to use this right away, store the chicken in the liquid so that it doesn't dry out. If you want to make enchiladas at this step, this is the perfect stage to stop as well, as there will be plenty of sauce to make them.
If making nachos, cook for about 5 minutes more at this point to have most of the liquid absorbed into the meat, as you don't want soggy nachos. Turn off the heat. Add salt and stir. Taste for seasoning. The chicken should have some heat as a backnote but should really just be flavorful and have a bright punchy taste to it. If you would like more heat, add some additional salsa at this point and stir.
Assemble nachos. This might have to be done in a couple of batches. Put tortilla chips in a single layer on a large microwaveable plate or platter. Place a dollop of the chicken mixture on each chip. Dot each chip with sour cream, probably no more than 1/8-1/4 tsp. per chip. Then, sprinkle a bit of cheese on each chip to cover it. Put in microwave for about 15 seconds on high to melt the cheese. (I just use the "Reheat" button on mine which seems to be enough time.) Serve immediately along with Guacamole.
Buon appetito!

Good 3.8 /5 from 307 reviews
I had to pile the chair on top of the desk in order to open the door fully and get my bag in. Smallest room I've ever had.
Only stayed one night but it was perfect for our needs. Our original room was on the lower level but the desk clerk upgraded us to a room on the fourth floor with a view of the city. Another desk clerk helped us print out our boarding passes and yet another recommended a great restaurant for dinner. couldn't ask for more helpful people. Also great breakfast in the morning with again, helpful staff.
The room was really small...
The location was perfect in walking distance from the Central Station. Room had just enough of everything for a single person. Wifi didn't work on my floor so that was disappointing. Nice restaurant next door, Flame, and service was great!
We were coming through Amsterdam at the tail end of our trip and could not have picked a better spot. Not only is it a stones throw away from the train station, it's right next to the central shopping area, and some amazing restaurants. Just turn a few corners and you're looking at canals, walk through an alley and you're at Rush Hour Records. Location aside, the hotel room was state-of-the-art and in true Dutch fashion, exquisitely decorated. It's right off the main drag but quiet as can be. You must stay here. No joke.
