UW to punish doctors who gave sick notes to protesters
The University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health said Tuesday that it will take disciplinary action against its physicians who wrote doctor excuse notes for protesters at the state Capitol during rallies in February.
The doctors face discipline ranging from a written reprimand to loss of pay and leadership position, the medical school said in a statement.
The medical school, however, would not say how many doctors were facing discipline.
The school said it reviewed 22 physicians whose names were provided from a variety of sources as having offered medical excuse notes to protesters. Its investigation found that several of those said to have provided excuse notes had not done so.
It said in the statement that it would not release the names of those involved and the actions taken, citing state law governing the confidentiality of public employee records.
The UW School of Medicine and Public Health's investigation is separate from a probe being conducted by the state Department of Regulation and Licensing and the Medical Examining Board into the doctor excuse notes.
Last week, Department of Regulation and Licensing and the Medical Examining Board said that they had opened investigations into eight individuals who allegedly wrote doctor excuse notes for protesters.
Those eight were among 11 people the department had identified as possibly providing excuses.
The 11 were asked to submit information to the department about their activities at the Capitol. Three members of the Medical Examining Board reviewed the information and decided to open investigations on eight, all licensed physicians.
In February, teachers from several districts called in sick so they could descend on the Capitol to protest Gov. Scott Walker's bill that would curtail collective bargaining for most public employees. During the protests, doctors in white lab coats were seen filling out excuse notes for workers.
To date, the names of doctors Lou Sanner and James Shropshire have been cited in media reports about the medical excuses dispensed over the weekend of Feb. 19 and 20. Both are affiliated with the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. UW Health spokeswoman Lisa A. Brunette said no cases remain open; any physician found to have been involved has been or will be disciplined.
The Department of Regulation and Licensing also is not releasing the names of those involved in the inquiry because the matter is under investigation.

Quake Live Updated to Support Linux and Mac Users
Non-windows users can finally load up some fragging action in their web browser this Tuesday.
During the QuakeCon 2009 press conference, id President Todd Hollenshead announced what many non-Windows computer users had been asking about for months. Quake Live, id software's browser based shooter, would be adding support for Linux and Macintosh operating system users.
Mac and Linux versions of the client are available for users to play on the show floor. Non-attendees will be able to check out the update when it launches this Tuesday, August 18th. I guess fans of BeOS will have to wait just a little bit longer to join in the fun.

Quake III is old style?Posted: Aug 14, 2009 12:00AM PST by ShaggyDude
You must be pretty young, dude. I doubt Deathmatch and CTF would be staples of multiplayer shooters if not for Quake and UT. Nowadays I get my ass handed to me just logging into Quake Live because theres so many people out there that still play that game religiously. I guess I've lost my touch. I used to play it everyday back in the 90s when I saved up money for a Voodoo 2 specifically to play Quake 3 and Rogue Spear. I think its awesome that you can run it from a web browser these days.

Wallace paces Behrend men
BUFFALO -- Junior guard Keith Wallace erupted for 20 points, and Penn State Behrend eased past D'Youville 77-53 Wednesday in an AMCC game at College Center Gym.
The Lions (15-3, 9-2) rebounded after having a nine-game win streak halted by Pitt-Greensburg Saturday. The Spartans, whose only win was over Pitt-Greensburg, fell to 1-18, 1-11.
Wallace, who graduated from Central Tech, made 9-of-14 field goal attempts, had seven rebounds, three steals and two assists.
Mike Knoll, a redshirt-sophomore forward from Cathedral Prep, was perfect (6-of-6) from the floor and finished with 12 points as the Lions shot 56.6 percent (30-of-53), and nine of 14 players scored. Junior guard Nick DeLisio had nine assists, and senior center Shane Skelly had nine rebounds to pace a 41-22 bulge on the glass.
Marcus Clarke led D'Youville with 17 points as the Spartans made 1-of-17 3-pointers. Anthony Malone, a freshman guard from Mercyhurst Prep, started and scored four points.

MIAMI - A 46-year-old man who caused an explosion at a gas station had previously been arrested for stealing large amounts of gasoline, according to Miami police.
Onelio Castro, who was sent to the hospital and then arrested after an explosion at a west Miami gas station, was released from jail.
Miami-Dade County court records show Castro faces charges of first-degree grand theft, second-degree arson and other felonies.
Castro was convicted for possession of an illegal gasoline storage tank in 2010.
He was accused by Boca Raton police of grand theft after a vehicle he was driving was found with a 500-gallon plastic tank, 55-gallon drum filled with fuel and other items to steal gas.

If k=1, then and , therefore it is true for k=1.
If k=2, then and , therefore it is true for k=2.
If k=3, then and , therefore it is true for k=3.
Assume, for some k
Therefore by induction, for all positive integers k.
Now consider and with r<s. Assume that and have a common factor p
Since all Fermat numbers are odd, and cannot share a common factor greater than one, hence by contradiction, no two Fermat numbers have a common factor greater than 1.
All Fermat numbers are either prime or made up of prime factors. Since no Fermat numbers share a common factor greater than one, no Fermat numbers can have the same prime factor. Since there are infinitely many Fermat numbers, there must therefore be infinitely many prime numbers.
Question 1, STEP I, 2002
Spoiler:ShowWe need to find the points of intersection between the two ellipses:
- ellipse 1
- ellipse 2
making y^2 the subject in the equation for ellipse 1:
and substitution into the equation for ellipse 2:
Subbing back into the equation for y^2:
Therefore the coordinates of intersection are (2,1) and (2,-1)
From a sketch, we can see that this means that the centre of a circle passing through those two points must lie on the x-axis.
Letting the coordinates of the centre of the circle be (a,0):
where r is the radius of the circle.
Substitute the point (2,1) in:
So the equation of the circle now becomes:

Therefore the area of this equilateral triangle base is given by:
Drawing a line down from the apex of the pyramid to the triangle base, letting h be the height, from pythagoras, we can see that:
The volume of the cone, V is given by,
Second Part
For x < 0, dy/dx = -y ==> 1/y dy/dx = -1 ==> ln y = -x +c ==> y = Ae^(-x); as y = a when x = -1, a = Ae so A = a/e; therefore for x < 0.
For > 0, dy/dx = y ==> 1/y dy/dx = 1 ==> ln y = x + c ==> y = Be^x; as y = b when x = 1, b = Be so B = b/e therefore for x > 0.
If a = b, there is no jump.
Note that e^x - 1 is positive if x > 0, and negative if x < 0.
for x > 0.
Given that y = e^e when x = 1, e^e = Ae^(e - 1) so A = e;
for x < 0.
At x = 0, y = using the solution for x > 0. So for continuity, this must the same result when substituted into x < 0, so

II/7: (Scary scary vectors.)
Let the lines have direction vector which I'll denote by r, and without loss of generality let |r| = 1 so a^2 + b^2 + c^2 = 1;
b = 1 - a; c = 1 - a so
The solutions are a =1, b = 0, c = 0 and a = 1/3, b = 2/3, c = 2/3.

ALTHOUGH bile duct and hepatic venous pressures have been extensively studied, not enough attention has been given to the effects of pressure upon the liver and bile ducts.1-4 The relationship of obstruction, pressure, and infection in the bile ducts to jaundice requires further clarification. It is often assumed that jaundice in patients with cholecystitis may be due to infection or the mixture of bile and pancreatic juice in the biliary system.5 The importance of obstruction and pressure may be overlooked if it is assumed that only infection or chemical cholangitis can cause jaundice.
In order to clarify the relationship of biliary pressure to serum enzyme and bilirubin level changes and to the alterations in the liver and bile ducts, experimental biliary obstruction has been compared with clinical findings. Partial and complete biliary obstruction with and without bacterial infection has been produced in dogs. Changes noted have been compared

Skip to comments.Russian legislator slams Obama for 'direct threat' to Russia
Posted on 03/01/2014 11:14:27 AM PST by kronos77
US President Barack Obama's warning that Russia would have to pay for a planned military intervention in Crimea is "a direct threat," a deputy head of Russia's upper house of parliament said on Saturday, saying Obama has "crossed the red line and insulted the Russian people."
"Yesterday we heard from various media sources that the US president, Obama, had said Russia would pay dearly for its policy. We know that Maidan militants who were active in Kiev, and not only there, had been trained in Lithuania and Poland. Now they want to spread their influence with their activities to eastern regions of Ukraine and Crimea," Federation Council Deputy Chairman Yury Vorobyov said at an upper house session. Vorobyov urged the Federation Council to satisfy a request from President Vladimir Putin for permitting the use of Russian armed forces in Crimea. "If we don't approve a decision to that effect, it will be a tragedy for the Ukrainian people. I believe that these words of the US president are a direct threat, and he has crossed the red line and insulted the Russian people," Vorobyov said. He insisted that Russia recall its ambassador from Washington. Obama urges Russia-US cooperation on Ukraine, calls for joint effort stability President Barack Obama delivered a statement on the situation in Ukraine on Friday afternoon. Washington will continue to discuss the situation in Ukraine directly with Russia's leadership, US President Barack Obama said. Before the President's speech, US envoy to the UN, Samantha Powers, said that the United States is "deeply concerned" by "facts on the ground" in Ukraine.
(Excerpt) Read more at voiceofrussia.com ...
They thought that was a threat? seriously?
Oh, God. Now Obama will give them back Alaska to appease their wrath.
And in another VOR proclaimation a few threads down, they claim the Maidan Protestors were Nazi's? Wish they could make up there minds.
I can't find anything on this guy. Who is he?
I hate to tell you this Ivan, but he's much more a threat to the US!
Ah Hah! They are working to Restore the Commonwealth!! (if only it were true)
The Russians have zero respect for obama and I sure don't blame them.
Thing is they can think whatever they want.
And more importantly, they can do whatever they want.
America is a laughing stock now.
This is what happens when a bunch of weaklings elect a weakling.
A lot of people are asking that. He's a mystery. No school records, no friends from the past. Some people think he was born in Hawaii, others say Kenya ...
Oh. Wait.
Did you mean the Russian?
Yes lots of Nazis and islamofascists in those mobs.
The way it seemed to shape up, the Russians claimed the protestors were neo-Nazis to the international audience, and claimed that they were Jews to their domestic audience.
Obviously nobody of any influence or he'd be to busy laughing to respond.
I guess this guy hasn't heard that red lines ain't what they used to be.
This is what happens when we elect a punk community organizer as leader of the free world.
Trained in Lithuania and Poland??? Will we now find some Gulag prisoners dressed in Lithuanian uniforms shot dead near a radio transmitter outside Saint Petersburg? We already have the "protecting our fellow Russians" mantra being repeated ad nauseam. Change Russian to German and suddenly it's 1938. And why is no one publicly apologizing to both Palin and Romney? They both hit it dead on.
Samantha Powers, the bigot who said Daniel Pearl was beheaded because he forgot about "individual accountability and reconciliation" That same Samantha Powers want me to give a crap about her concerns? Get real. This admin is a joke.
Obama is very dangerous. He makes passive threats. He is going to get us nuked.
Good God! They thought that was a threat? Imagine how they'd react to a man instead of a little girl!
So? Do what everyone else does with the limp-wristed empty suit... flip him a quarter and tell him to go %$&@ himself.
Many of them are neo-Nazis. And today they called upon Al Qaeda to attack Russia. This is what we put in power in Kiev.
How sad is it for Obama that it wasn't even putin who responded. Putin sees Obama as beneath him. Not even worthy of an angry response.
Well played!
The Nazis sold hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians into slave labor. The Ukrainian people risked all to save Jews in WWII. During his visit to Ukraine, Pope John Paul II beatified one of the righteous - Father Kovch who sacrificed his life while saving several hundred of Jews. In 1942, father Kovch issued Jews large numbers of baptism certificates in attempt to save their lives. In doing so, he broke the Nazi prohibitions and so he was arrested in December 1942 and deported to the Majdanek concentration camp where he was gassed and burned on March 26, 1943. Nazis in Ukraine is propaganda. Ukrainians hate the Nazi as Much as it fears Russia.
Like everyone, Putin loves a good joke. Notice hussein didn't say a word until after the Olympics.
I agree. Obama has given the Ruskies reason for a first strike.
I almost choked on my hamburger! Good one.
First of all, does this guy talk without asking Putin what to say?
Second, it looks like Russia just drew a red line and said obama has already crossed it. I have a feeling when Russia talks about a red line, they mean it.
The third party overlords of both Putin and obozo gave them the script to follow. They will, many will die as a result but neither of them nor their overlords are in any danger. Killing the world's oligarchs who profit from war would save their victims lives and people might realize the futility of victim fighting victim.
Hmm... "Russia would have to pay"... would have to pay...
Are we sure he didn't actually just tell them we wouldn't fund their intervention?
Works for me.
I would be entirely sanguine--in fact, genuinely enthusiastic--about America's cutting all diplomatic ties with Russia.
The Nazis and Neo-Nazis, according to my colleague who is intimately connected to the Ukraine through family and visits, says that the nazis cliques are smaller than reported but are extremists and well organized.
What you are not getting in much of the reporting is who the other political parties are, what their positions are, and who is leading them.
The Ukraine has always had factions of every conceivable type so why should now be any different? Let's see how this plays out.
Right now nobody is winning in the Ukraine except the Russian and their people inside that country.
And if Obama gets involved, they are sure to lose.
Al Qaeda isn't going to attack Russia per se. They know that Putin will slaughter anyone even remotely connected to AQ or their support network. He doesn't full around.
Remember, he's KGB, not LGBT like the Democrats and Obama.
We need to supply & support the Ukraine, but as far as the Crimea goes, let them do as they please. They are Russians wanting to rejoin with Russia. I can't see where the US becoming involved in someone else's civil disobedience/war is in our best interest.
Did Hillary hold on to that "reset" button?
Anyone hear from John F'n Kerry lately?
Obama has crossed the red line!!!!
Ha haaaaaa!!!
You sure this isn't from thepeoplescube.com?
Welcome to the club, pal. Now get back in line.
It's the equivalent of a bully sensing weakness saying "Did you say something to me?" Now our coward in chief is going to have to back down even further.

The tardiness of a Highland chief in swearing an oath of allegiance to the new English and Scottish monarch William III led to the Glencoe Massacre in 1692. After the Glorious Revolution had swept aside James II (James VII of Scotland) in 1688, many Highland clans resolved to honour their oath to James, who was always planning invasions from exile in France. After the failure of a Jacobite uprising under Viscount Dundee (1689) and James's defeat by William in Ireland at the Battle of the Boyne (1690), William offered all Highland clans a pardon for their part in the insurgence, as long as they pledged their allegiance to him before 1 January 1692. Death was threatened for non-compliance, yet it was not until December 1691 that James II…

Suppose you won $15 on a lotto ticket at the local 7-Eleven and decided to spend all the winnings on candy bars and bags of peanuts. The price of candy bars is $0.75 and the price of peanuts is $1.50. LO4
a. Construct a table showing the alternative combinations of the two products that are available.
b. Plot the data in your table as a budget line in a graph. What is the slope of the budget line? What is the opportunity cost of one more candy bar? Of one more bag of peanuts? Do these opportunity costs rise, fall, or remain constant as each additional unit of the product is purchased?
c. Does the budget line tell you which of the available combinations of candy bars and bags of peanuts to buy?
d. Suppose that you had won $30 on your ticket, not $15. Show the $30 budget line in your diagram. Has the number of available combinations increased or decreased?

GuitarNow! 2013, Day Two: Ottawa, Canada, May 4, 2013
Kailash Mital Theatre
Carleton University
Ottawa, Canada
May 4, 2013
When local guitarist Roddy Elliasthe recipient, that very week, of one of the Jazz Journalist Association's Jazz Hero awards for 2013 (the only Canadian on the list)created the concept of the first annual GuitarNow! Festival with Carleton University, it's objective was to provide Ottawa guitarists with three days of intensive workshops, the chance to hear a wide variety of world-class guitarists from as close by as their own city and as far away as the UK and United States, and the opportunity to perhaps even play with them at nightly jam sessions. The three-day festival, in its inaugural year, was a tremendous success, though there were a few minor issues that should be adjusted when Ellias and his team put together next year's editionand, it seems, based on the success of the first year, that there will be a second one.
The three days were loosely divided into an acoustic/folk day, a jazz day and a classical day, but just as music these days crosses those and many more boundaries, there was also plenty of crossover in the subject matter of each day. Still, May 4 was, by and large a jazz day, with workshops by Lucas Haneman (a local guitarist who, in an unprecedented move, won both the Scholarship Award and the Bill Shuttleworth Fund Award as part of the Galaxie Jazz Youth All-Stars at the 2005 Ottawa International Jazz Festival and currently lives in Montreal), Los Angeles-based Brandon Bernstein, Montreal-based Mike Rud and Steve Raegele, New Jersey's Vic Juris and, for its one non-jazz workshop, Ottawa-based classical guitarist Andrew Mah, delivering a densely packed but thoroughly fascinating workshop on the history of the classical guitar and its fight for credibility and relevance.
Juris' workshop was technically deep, but a real, hands-on workshop that gave the attending guitarists a lot to consider. Juris was, until recently, a member of saxophonist Dave Liebman's two decade-old group (recently disbanded), and a guitarist who is one of jazz's best-kept secrets, though he's far from unknown to musicians. A broad-reaching guitarist who easily belongs in the same rarefied group as better-known relative contemporaries like Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, John Scofield and John Abercrombiewith whom Juris shares the most as a similarly motif-based improviser that seems to sound absolutely fresh with each and every performance, and like nobody but himself without relying on stock licks or devicesJuris' command of his instrument is so complete that when he discussed moving complex chordal patterns up a tone, for example, how the harmonies shifted seemed totally intuitive and effortless.
And while his knowledge is deep, Juris is humble, unassuming and approachable. When asked how he found a certain chord combination, he replied "it found me," suggesting it was simply the inevitable result of years of practice and practical application.
Perhaps the most important lesson learned from Juris was: patience. In many ways a late bloomer, whose gradual but palpable growth can be followed from early recordings with the Liebman Group like Miles Away (Owl, 1994) through to the quartet's final studio recording, Turnaround: The Music of Ornette Coleman (Jazzwerkstatt, 2010), and on recent solo recordings ranging from Blue Horizon (Zoho, 2004) and Omega is the Alpha (Steeplechase, 2010), Juris' personal goal has always been simple: to be a better guitarist today than he was the day before. His approach to achieving that objective: slow, methodical and, by not biting off more than can be chewed, eminently doable. He encouraged his audience to learn just one song a month, but really learn it, backwards and forwards, in any and all keys. "At the end of the year you've got twelve tunes...and when it comes to keys, how many are there," he asked. Responding to the obvious answer of "twelve," he replied, rhetorically "And how many months are there in a year?"
Sage advice...and, based on Juris' career, absolutely practical.
Juris was relaxed, using anecdotes to make some of his points. When he spoke of his friendship with megastar Paul Simon, he recounted, in the context of asking the advice of friends and family, how Simon actually wrote "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and played it for a friend who replied, "It's not one of your best." And so, Simon put it in a drawer for five full year before dusting it off and recording what would become one of Simon & Garfunkel's biggest hits . The lesson: trust your own instincts and take others' opinions with a grain of salt.

Yamaha apply two engineering philosophies to their motorcycle design and production. Their names are 'GENESIS' and 'GENICH'. Both have a single aim…'to create the highest level of rider and machine communication'.

Did You Know? Casa Fuster Hotel
September 21, 2015
By: Five Star Alliance
Originally constructed in 1908 and completely restored in 2004, Casa Fuster Hotel is an emblematic
modernist building designed by the famous Catalan architect Lluís Domenech i Montaner. Mr. Mariano Fuster,
a gentleman from Mallorca's upper class, met and fell in love with Ms. Consuelo Fabra i Puig, the daughter of the
Marquis of Alella, in Barcelona. The building was a gift from the Senor Fuster to his wife. Mariano Fuster put the
house in his wife's name and dedicated a rose window to her with the initials CF. At the time it was the most expensive
house in the Catalan capital, due to the high quality marble and other materials used in construction.

Does The Monster High Fearleading Set Make A Good Gift For Your Child?
These three characters are all part of the cheerleading squad at their school, Monster High. They come with everything they need to get the crowd cheering, and Draculara and Cleo are dressed in their team colors: black, pink and white. Ghoulia is there as the ultimate Monster High team fan.
The detail on the Monster High dolls is always impressive - from their hairstyles to the detail on their clothing and shoes. There are also a number of accessories included to help make playtime more fun, and urge your kids to get creative with the scenes they imagine for their new friends.
One thing to note is the fact that these characters have been sold separately before, but in different clothing and with different accessories. If your child already owns one or more of them, they may still be happy to have the new setting. Or they may prefer a new character from the Monster High series.
[easyazon-block align="right" asin="B0059DCUXI" locale="us"]Young girls of just about any age enjoy playing with toys like the Monster High Fearleading set. However, the manufacturer recommends it for ages 6 and above. Note that it isn't suitable for the very youngest children due to the small parts included.
Monster High Dolls are some of the most popular toys for girls of today. Coupled with the fact that they're highly collectible, this could make it difficult to find these products in stock for the holidays. Try to buy as far in advance as possible to avoid paying extra fees to third party sellers.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

Who knew Bieber Fever could be deadly?
Filming his role as a troubled teen for CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, Justin Bieber came face-to-face with a fake corpse on set of the CBS show. Hovering over the prop, the pop star, 16, got into character and gave the camera his best look of horror.
"He did a really good job," CSI's executive producer Carol Mendelsohn tells USA Today.
In his acting debut, Bieber plays Jason McCann, a troubled teen in a dysfunctional, anti-government family. He has a foster dad in prison and a brother bent on revenge against the police. So where does that leave Bieber's character? "Is he a good kid stuck in a bad situation or is he a bad kid hiding behind the cutes?" Mendelsohn says. "He's caught in the middle."
Review: Kevin Federline's 'Overhyped' Acting Debut

Kevin Federline's dramatic television debut on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation Oct. 12 was, well, overhyped. Maybe this shouldn't come as a surprise – there's always an element of hard sell to get us beyond the fact that he's Mr. Britney Spears – but it was still a letdown, a waste of anticipation. I mean, I spent the day leading up to the show in a sort of happy dream, wondering whether Federline, playing a young thug named Cole Tritt, would have the guts, the talent, the firepower to outdo Jack Nicholson in The Departed. Departed? The guy never even fully arrived. These were his only lines of dialogue (minus one that would be a spoiler for K-Fed fans who recorded the show):

Posted on 04/16/2009 12:26:37 PM PDT by JoeProBono
Chili con carne, better known as chili for short, was named Official State Dish of Texas back in the late 1970s.
Why chili and not barbecue or steak? According to Paul Burka, political writer, food guru, and all-around resident curmudgeon of Texas Monthly magazine, the esteemed members of the Texas State Legislature were bribed with beer (probably enough to do the trick) and free chili by a lobbyist for the cause. In his article, "I Still Hate Chili," Burka notes, "(Chili lobbyist) Robert Marsh brewed what he claimed to be the world's largest pot of chili to feed to the members of the Legislature: 259 gallons weighing over 2500 pounds. Marsh also persuaded Pearl to donate 24 cases of beer, which several lawmakers told me had more to do with the bill's ultimate success than the taste of the chili." In short, politics as usual...and we were right about the beer's influence.
Chili, after all, is hardly Texan in origin. In fact, it may have been bought to the United States by settlers from the Canary Islands.
According to Robb Walsh, author of The Tex-Mex Cookbook, fifteen families arrived in San Antonio, in March, 1731, bringing their Berber-influenced love of spices with them. He adds that the Canary Island women reportedly made a stew of cumin, wild onions, chili peppers, the available herbs and cooked according to custom in big copper kettles outdoors in the plaza. Over time, meat was added and the dish evolved into modern chili.
Descendants of those original cooks kept up the practice of selling their rude fare well into the 20th century and became known as Chili Queens...until they were chased from downtown plazas for health reasons.
Other theories abound for the origin of chili. W.C. Jameson notes a dozen or so in his book, The Ultimate Chili Cookbook, speculating that the dish could have also come from Gold Rush settlers, Old West cowboys of--most mysteriously--La Dama de Azul (The Lady in Blue), a 17th Century Spanish nun who in a series of prophetic trances, told of visiting a distant land where she walked among natives and spoke to them about Christianity. With amazing accuracy, she described a dish consisting of venison, onions, tomatoes and peppers, an impressive feat considering she apparently died without ever having visited the New World.....
That chili with the beans in that picture is not from Texas.
Chili does not have beans in it. Beans are a side dish.
I see beans so that ain't chili
It's just "meat sauce" without beans.
No beans.
....made a stew of cumin, wild onions, chili peppers, the available herbs and cooked according to custom in big copper kettles outdoors in the plaza. Over time, meat was added and the dish evolved into modern chili.
....With amazing accuracy, she described a dish consisting of venison, onions, tomatoes and peppers...
No mention of beans in the ingredients.
Paul Burka is a flaming liberal. He's the big reason I long ago quit buying and reading Texas Monthly.
I'm sweating jes thinking 'bout it. MMMMM
Hey, Pa! What's fer dinner?
"Why chili. Yum, Yum...."
I rarely look to articles as definitive sources on anything.
Like I said, meat sauce.
When I saw this headline, I knew the bean argument would break out. I, by the way, am anti-beans in chile so don't start in on me.
Hah, was about to ask why a bowl of beans is being shown.
In my area of NM it is Chile con Carne, chunks of meat with red chile, or chili, hamburger and beans with red chile.
That has beans in it - that's not chili! That's a pot of beans with some meat....
I made some "real Texas Chili" from a recipe I found on the internet. No beans, no tomato's or tomato sauce. The stuff looked like a big cow patty.
I had that once - never again - couldn't gag it down.
What is your fascination with pasta and chili? lol
Hehe, my wife, from Ohio, introduced me to that. It's, um, different.
I guess if you grow up with something it seems normal - I had never even heard of anyone putting chili on pasta until I married.... I guess I lead a sheltered life. ;^)
"That chili with the beans in that picture is not from Texas."
Looks like how my family makes it in New Mexico. Mmmm, mmmm. Tastes so much better with pintos. You chili snobs can keep your 1/2 finished version. The pintos may be a side dish (also vey delicious), but your stuff is a condiment.
Tell me, do they make sopapillas in Texas?
Wow, I posted the same pic without seeing that you had already done so.
TCP is just a few miles from my home, I may have to stop in this evening.
Guy Clark's Dublin Blues:
I wish I was in Austin
In the Chili Parlour Bar
Drinkin' Mad Dog Margaritas
And not carin' where you are
I feel real bad for people that have never had a real "bowl of red", and for those poor souls that throw beans in a pot of chili. Seems so wrong to me.
I also remember that what we called "New Mexico" chili had cheese in it, and of course, the beans. It was sort of a joke.
Our family recipe calls for a 1/4 cup of Bourbon to flavor the meat before the chili powder, peppers, etc. go in. Known as "Firewater Chili".
Oh that sounds interesting.... care to make me a honorary cousin and share the family recipe?
Way too many beans in some of that "chili".
Well now that just looks good.... I love chili dogs!
I don't know exactly when I discovered the difference between Texas and Cincinnati chili. I doubt that I've actually ever had true Texas chili ... maybe in terms of the spices I use but since ya'll mentioned that it has no beans, I reckon I can leave out the beans the next time I prepare it ... and skip the pasta. :)
But here's a recipe for Cincinnati chili: Cincinnati Chili
I thought I had a bowl of chili for lunch, but the meat wasn't venison, so I guess it wasn't chili.
This is a classic....
Texas Chili Cook Off - INEXPERIENCED CHILI JUDGE
Notes From An Inexperienced Chili Tester Named FRANK, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking
directions to the beer wagon, when the call came.
I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy, and besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting. So I accepted."
Here are the scorecards from the event:
JUDGE ONE: A little too heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy sh!t, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. These Texans are crazy.
JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of the reach of children I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
FRANK: Call the EPA, I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting sh!t-faced from all the beer.
JUDGE ONE: Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it, is it possible to burnout taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb. Bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very Impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
FRANK: My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage, Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring
beer directly on it from a pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off? It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks!
JUDGE ONE: Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spice and peppers.
JUDGE TWO: The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
FRANK: My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I sh!t myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone!
JUDGE ONE: A mediocre chili with too much reliance on canned peppers.
JUDGE TWO: Ho Hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge Number 3, He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
FRANK: You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a damn thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili, which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like sh!t to match my
damn shirt. At least during the autopsy they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing; it's too painful. Screw it. I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili, safe for all, not too bold but spicy enough to declare it's existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry is a good, balanced chili. Neither mild nor hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge Number 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the chili pot down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor Yank, wonder how he'd have reacted to a
really hot chili?
I love chili but you really don't know how good it was until the next day.
Where did chili come from???
Well, when God ran out of mana, he gave his people chili. Chili in all shapes and fashions, meat or no meat, beans or no beans. God loves all of his chili equally and ........so do I.
I've made chili so many ways, I can't keep track. I've made chili with beans and without and with 1 kind of bean and many. I've made it with meat and without, and I've used ground beef, ground sirloin, grilled steak, ground chicken, grilled chicken, pork, turkey and venison. I've used different tomatoes and different chili peppers, and I've made it mild, extra extra spicy and in between.
Um, I'm hungry.
