Mike Portnoy Alleges Dream Theater Plagiarized
Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy has stirred up controversy by hinting that Dream Theater may have borrowed a bit too much influence from the band Red. He alleges that the Red song "Feed the Machine" is incredibly similar to the Dream Theater tune "Build Me Up, Break Me Down." This series of quotes came about on Portnoy's ProgBlog when he responded to a thread about John Petrucci's top album pick of 2011 on the Roadrunner site. For the full article, go to this site.
"Check out the first song on [John Petrucci's] fave album of the year…. WOW, the arrangement and orchestration sounds awfully familiar!! Surely it must be an intentional 'nugget' for the fans… It couldn't possibly be blatant formula plagiarism, now could it…?? I just have to laugh…Hey…I'm not trying to start a war…. and I am indeed totally in a happy place in my life and career… I'm just merely making an observation and posting openly on my own forum like I always have and always will… If anybody ELSE wants to blow this up, it's their choice and doing…not mine! And PS – to defend music that I co-wrote/arranged (that were cited previously in this thread), there's a difference between 'inspiration corner'/'copping a certain vibe' and blatantly re-writing an existing song or formula section by section…"

Dream Theater Drummer Checks In
Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini has checked in with an update in which he discusses the groups recent Grammy nomination amongst other things. His message reads as follows:
"I seriously played my two best shows/solos (on December 1st in San Diego, California and on December 2nd in Anaheim, California) while being the sickest I've been in 20-30 years. But not enough to jeopardize me too much or affect the show negatively. I don't know how that happens. My apologies for not being able to speak much, or for coughing at the paid pre-show pic taking. Now you know why. I didn't, and couldn't, call friends, my family, my wife, nobody...
"It was weird to try so hard to speak. All of you that play must've experienced this before. How can we be so sick, then play like not too much is wrong? It must be a love of overcoming challenges and helping the team. I guess that's how athletes do it. I honestly curled up in a ball after the show and didn't think I'd make it out of there. More...
Periphery Announces Dream Theater Off-Dates

Misha Mansoor states: "We are happy to announce that Mark Holcomb (Haunted Shores) will be joining the Periphery ranks as a full time guitarist! He toured with with us our headlining run of Australia, our Frak The Gods US headliner and our 2 shows opening for Dream Theater, and we feel that we have found a perfect fit for us both live and in the studio. We are extremely excited to have him on board, and cant wait to show you all the cool new music we have been working on together! Since we made arrangements for the tour before Mark was inducted, our good friend Nolly (Red Seas Fire) will be filling in on the European tour opening for Dream Theater. However that will be the last tour we do with a fill-in guitarist, as Mark will join on full time after that!"
Thomas Murphy (bass) adds: "The most important thing about a band is the chemistry between its members. We've all known Mark for years and are very proud to announce him as our newest member. Not only is he an amazing writer and guitarist, but also an amazing person. We can't wait to see what the future holds for the band now that he has joined."
Mark Holcomb further comments: "I couldn't be more excited as not only have these guys been great friends of mine for a long time, but I consider every last one of them musical siblings in a sense. Each of us brings something different to the table and I can't wait to see what we can accomplish."

Rochester, NH—Congressional candidate Carol Shea-Porter issued a statement today regarding State Rep. Peter Sullivan's withdrawal from the Congressional race.
"I will miss seeing Peter on the campaign trail. He has a moral political compass and I have a great deal of respect for him. We have had many good conversations about the issues facing New Hampshire and the country today, and we are committed to these same goals-standing up for the people of NH and restoring moral integrity to Congress. Peter and I have been calling for campaign finance reform because we know New Hampshire voters want the issues, not the money, to determine political success. I wish Peter well and hope he stays engaged in New Hampshire politics," she said.
Shea-Porter is the chairwoman of the Rochester Democratic Committee. There will be a forum for First District Congressional candidates at the Flanagan Community Center in Somersworth on July 16, at 2 p.m. Her web site is www.carolforcongress.com.


text: Posted January 7, 2013 no doubt. not exactly sure why this is a dumb thread when yeah he's been awesome, but we have nothing to show for it besides two losing seasons. Its a dumb thread because it doesnt matter one bit if he's immature or mature. People act like Cam starts playing with his thumb up his ass when the game is on the line and that is just not the case. Most of the time he puts us a position to win those close games. Sure sometimes he doesn't make the miracle comeback throw but more times than not poor clock management, chuds playcalling, the defense or special teams falls apart at the worst possible time. Look at Matt Ryan, his candy ass has made it to the playoffs every year, and every year his dick shrivels up like a raisin in big games yet nobody knocks Ryan. To say we have nothing to show for Cam is plain retarded also. I get it you are new here and probably don't have much recollection of before the lockout we gutted our roster of every starter and quality backup over the age of 30 (excluding smith) and were pushing Jimmy Dick Pickles as our quarterback. We were not just a horrible team, but one of the worst teams the NFL had ever seen, WAY worse than KC this year or Indy last year. We have shown significant improvement in two years, and we have gotten better both years. Would it have been awesome to instantly become a 12 win team with Cam? Certainly, but he needs pieces around him. Brees wasn't winning in NO until the Saints surrounded him with a solid group of guys, same with young Elway and Aikman. Football is still the ultimate team sport, blaming games and seasons on individuals is just silly. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

- First make the mint simple syrup. Bring water, sugar and the handful of fresh mint to a boil in a small saucepan. Turn off the heat and let it infuse for 20 minutes. Remove the mint.
- Meanwhile, peel the cucumbers, slice in half (long ways) and scrape out the seeds with a spoon. Roughly cut them into chunks and puree to a liquid in a food processor or blender. Pass the liquid through a sieve to get rid of any remaining seeds or peel.
- Combine the cucumber puree and cooled mint simple syrup in a pitcher and squeeze in the juice of the lemons/limes
- Add the vodka, stir and chill for at least an hour
- Serve over ice, leaving plenty of room to top up the cocktail with tonic or club soda (depending on your taste!)
- Lastly, garnish with some mint sprigs to make it look lovely 🙂
- Cut the bread into slices (about a 1/2 inch thick) and toast them on a sheet pan in the oven for about 5 minutes or until they start to feel a bit firm
- Once toasted, rub the smashed garlic cloves all over the bread to add some great flavor
- Spread each piece of bread generously with cream cheese and sprinkle the chopped herbs all over. Season with salt & pepper.
- Top each slice with an thin, even layer of radishes and press down a bit so that everything sticks
- Sprinkle a bit more chopped herbs on top and serve!
Innkeeper For a Day
Written by Ann Howley, Inn Manager
It seems that almost everyone I tell about my summer job managing the Asbury Park Inn shares their own dreams of operating a bed and breakfast. "I've always wanted to do that," they admit. "What's it really like?," they ask, all ears. "I'll bet it's super fun." Yes, it sure is! If you enjoy the simple pleasures of cooking, homemaking, and hosting events, this is the perfect job for you.
First, there are a few things I should let you know: I don't live at the Inn, and I don't work seven days a week like the owners, Kate and Joe. My duties do not include shopping for groceries or household items or calling the handyman when an occasional minor repair needs to be made. I don't determine price points, set up the website, or pay the bills. But the "non-business" side of running a B&B has a great many perks. This summer, I was allowed the privilege of sampling the variety of tasks a typical Innkeeper must do on a daily basis to keep this business thriving.
First, of course, is the booking and keeping a current calendar of suites and their respective guests. That's easy enough, but we also like to personalize our guests' visits, which means allowing dogs in certain suites, offering vegan and gluten-free menus, and knowing our returning guests' preferences, for example, who prefers tea to morning coffee, which guests likes to eat breakfast on the front porch instead of the dining room, and who enjoys dry white wine at cocktail hour rather than IPA. Like iced coffee rather than a hot cup of joe on a hot summer morning? Mention it on Monday and there's a good chance a pitcher of cold brew will be waiting for you Tuesday morning. An Innkeeper must keep a keen eye on all his or her guests' immediate needs.
Designing the breakfast menu is what most of us think about when running an Inn. It's probably the most fun part, especially for those of us who've always dreamed of cooking professionally. (Remember chef Suki from The Gilmore Girls, happily dreaming and planning away?) It's your chance to shine! One of the aspects I love about our kitchen at the Asbury Park Inn is Kate's ties with local farmers' markets and her own insistence on garden produce and fresh, local meats. Kate grows almost all of the necessary herbs in her kitchen garden, and friends and family supply many of the vegetables like zucchini, peppers, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Menu creation becomes, then, a combination of tradition (the usual fare – savory eggs, bacon, sausage and sweet baked goods) with the ingenuity of using what's in-season and on-hand (for example, incorporating local sweet corn or fresh zucchini into our breakfast dishes). That simple recipe makes for a mouth-watering array of delicious offerings, like whole-grain avocado toast with fried eggs and red pepper oil or corn fritters with crispy bacon, tomatoes, and avocado "smash." Strawberry cream biscuits, flaky scones, and Belgian waffles top the charts as popular sweet items during the summer, and peach and berry breakfast cobbler with honeyed yogurt is an over-the-top treat that delights the eye and nose as much as the palate. Portion sizes are generous, and butter and creme are never spared; an Innkeeper wants her guests leaving their tables full and plenty satisfied.
Your typical day during the busy season? You'll be rising about two hours before you serve your first breakfast. Of course, last night, after you cleared and washed the cocktail hour plates and glasses, you set yourself up for success by taking the sausages and pre-baked goods out of the freezer to thaw and by preparing anything that needs a head start in the morning, like roasting sweet potatoes for the hash. First, you'll make the coffee. You'll be making it in an oversized, old-fashioned percolator that uses three and a half cups of grounds, and you might still make a few more pots of French-pressed later on. The Asbury Park Roastery's Indonesian Blend perfumes the air for the next half hour or so as you move on to your next task, breakfast prep. Sausages and bacon are slid into the oven, vegetables are chopped, and biscuits are made from scratch, working cold chunks of butter into flour by hand. Fruit is sliced and placed into cobbler bowls, waiting to be topped by biscuit dough, then placed carefully in the oven. Pancakes or waffles will soon sizzle from pans, and eggs, cut with a generous dose of cream and butter, will be whipped into scrambles, poured into frittatas, poached with precision, or fried over easy. Scones or muffins are warmed in the oven as maple syrup bubbles merrily on top of the stove.
You'll serve breakfast with a smile, knowing your guests truly appreciate your efforts in the kitchen. One of the greatest rewards of owning a B&B is getting to know your guests, and breakfast presents a perfect time to do just that, chatting about everything from the weather to their adventures in town the previous night. This is an excellent time to recommend restaurants, entertainment venues, where to find the best shopping, and any special events in the area.
There's a rhythm to the day. Breakfast is followed by cleaning a Mount Everest of dishes, then checking out departing guests and cleaning their rooms. Each suite might take an hour to an hour and a half to turn over, as every inch of the room is cleaned spotless, linens are replaced, and amenities are replenished.
Next, you'll plan upcoming breakfasts and cocktail hours. You'll need to check supplies to determine whether anything is needed and place your orders for the necessary items. Occasionally you'll run to the store, but these days, having a grocery website that delivers is a lifesaver. Whenever you have time, that is, between all that must be attended to immediately (think broken air conditioners on a 95-degree day, replacing light bulbs before your guests arrive, or watering the basil currently wilting in the summer sun), you'll bake a batch of scones or zucchini bread, roast nuts and concoct homemade granola, whip up a lavender-infused simple syrup for drinks later, research a vegan muffin recipe for upcoming guests, type up tomorrow's menus, call the caterer to coordinate next weekend's wedding reception, water the plants inside and out, and get all that laundry washed, folded, and put neatly away.
Now it's time for correspondence, bookkeeping, and social media promotion. You'll be returning phone calls and emails, double-checking bookings to make sure there is no overlap, and posting that killer picture you took of this morning's plum streusel cake on Instagram with an eye-catching caption.
Your new guests will be arriving soon, so it's time to make sure the rooms have the necessary items, such as cold bottled water in each refrigerator and tomorrow's breakfast menus close at hand. Remember to add those extra touches, fresh flowers in the dining room, a cupcake for a birthday girl, champagne if your guests might be celebrating a special anniversary. Did you remember to set up the sofa bed? Room three has two children staying tonight. Make sure your guests know the security code to get inside later tonight and don't let them forget the menus – it will be hard to plan for breakfast if you're not sure what your guests will want to eat.
Once your guests arrive and unpack, you'll invite them to relax and entice them to feel even more at home than in their own respective abodes. What better way than with a social hour with cold drinks and snacks? Cocktail hour is truly fun to plan and a can be another stage on which to showcase your creativity. You can go simple, set out some wine, beer, and soda with cheese and crackers, or you can dazzle your guests with your own version of the perfect margarita or homemade lemonade with unique flavor combinations like strawberries and mint. Many afternoons will be spent concocting sweet minis, like shortcake bites or chocolate chunk cookies with sea salt, or powering up the food processor to make garden fresh salsa, tangy guacamole, or a creamy garlic hummus. Those of you who enjoy wine pairing will get to live dangerously, selecting the optimal chardonnay to bring out the flavor notes of the triple creme you so carefully selected at the cheese shop. Of course, you'll have to try some yourself, first!
Your signature will be everywhere, from the linens you choose to the books lining the walls to the candles you light on a stormy afternoon. Your guests want to feel pampered and relaxed, and it's your job to provide the comforts of home in ultimate fashion.
On occasional weekends, we hold special events, and these are a pleasure to plan and execute. An Innkeeper must be organized and keep solid records of every request. Each event is unique, and it's your duty as the event organizer to help your guests bring to fruition their own version of a sublime rehearsal dinner, wedding reception, anniversary weekend, or post-wedding breakfast buffet. You'll be coordinating your efforts with caterers, florists, bakers, and even food truck purveyors, as we did for a recent wedding reception. You never know whether you'll be setting up tables and linens, arranging flowers, serving Bloody Marys, or popping champagne corks. I've helped plan a surprise post-wedding treat for a bride and groom, arranged in-house massages for couples, poured mimosas for bridal parties, and named signature cocktails for birthday girls. Flexibility, a heartfelt desire to make someone else's day, and an eye on consistent, quality service are key. Every day, I ask myself, what kind of experience would I want were I to stay here? What kinds of memories would I want to savor in the years to come? And most importantly, what will our guests say about us when they tell their friends about their stay? I want them to rave about the wonderful time they spent in Asbury Park, the Inn a part of that magic. The greatest compliment our guests can ever pay us is to walk back through our doors again to try and recapture it all.
Still interested in running your own B&B? I confess wholeheartedly that this has been the most fun and interesting summer job I've ever had. I'm incredibly grateful to Kate and Joe, the Innkeepers, for taking a chance on me as a member of their team and letting me live my dream this summer. I'm putting a lifetime of skills to to work, and I'm learning a lot about what it really takes to run a B&B successfully. It's not always glamorous, especially when you're scrubbing toilets, cleaning baby bottles, or setting up extra tables in the courtyard on a sultry August afternoon, but the rest of the experience will make up for that. You'll meet super-cool, charming people who've chosen to spend their vacation days in the relaxing retreat that you've created. In all honesty, the absolute best part is in coaxing those happy, inner children out. Riding high on the serenity you've created, the stressed-out executive and the harried parent metamorphosize into lighthearted, relaxed souls at peace with the world and themselves. Summer and the sun do that, yes, but there's something about having someone else take care of the details that washes the stress of the world away like the tides that flow from the beach. For me, being a part of the family here has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my life. Like our guests, I, too, will be walking out the door content and refreshed, ready to take on what's next.
So… do you know of any Inns for sale? 😉
Garden State
Summer is full of sensory pleasures. The sun warms our skin, breezes arrive freshly-scented, and nothing beats hearing peals of playful laughter as we all take life a little less seriously. One of the greatest delights of the Jersey Shore is easy accessibility to fresh produce. Our own gardens and those of our generous friends yield bell peppers, pickles, kale, heirloom tomatoes, squash, and a profusion of peppermint, basil, and other savory herbs. With an abundance of farms in the area as well, the Asbury Park Inn delights in whisking local seasonal products into our menu.
Several farm and craft markets converge on Asbury each week. On Saturdays, you can get your fresh fix early from 8-11 a.m. at the Asbury Park Sunset Farmer's Market on Main Street. Recently, we surveyed the scene, sun ripe stone fruit and heirloom tomatoes nestling amongst ears of sweet corn and striped watermelon, bourgeois zucchini yielding to their more exotic cousins, patty pan and ghost scallop squash. Potatoes, waxy and crisp, strutted their feathers in deep shades of yellow, red, and purple, and at at least one stand, curious visitors discovered herbs and vegetables so unique they will never find their way to supermarket shelves. There's always something new and unusual to enjoy.
The biggest farm market in the area is Asbury Fresh, recognized by the Asbury Park Press as one of the "Best of Monmouth County." Open Fridays and Sundays, it is New Jersey's fastest-growing farm and makers' market. Asbury Fresh hosts over 60 farmers and merchants, including local artisans and food purveyors. On a recent Sunday afternoon, we found the market burgeoning with organic produce, locally-raised meats and eggs, handmade clothing and jewelry, pickled vegetables, scrumptious baked goods, colorful floral arrangements, and even special treats for Fido. We selected some tasty organic sausage featuring pasture-raised pork from Green Duchess Farm, several Robson's Farm's succulent yellow peaches, and a jar of balsamic fig jam from Holly Jolly Jams that is, according to the label, made with love. (And we're pretty sure we can taste it!)
A friend once remarked that she thought the folks to our north built factories there as a barricade so those from metropolitan areas would get the wrong impression and not venture into central Jersey, leaving this glorious bounty for the locals to enjoy. But all that we have here – the sandy beaches, the restaurant scene, the shopping, and yes, trees and farms and gardens and wide open spaces, well, it's all too resplendent not to share!
So please, join us for the just-picked flavors of summer – we've built our menu on its tasty bounty. Even better, grab a canvas bag yourself and plan a visit to one of these incredible markets. You'll return home with some delicious mementos of your stay here, plus memories of the sweetest taste of our beautiful and bountiful belle, the Jersey Shore.
Fresh Face, Same Place
Asbury Park Inn is proud to introduce the newest member of our family. Although it's not another adorable baby (seven-month-old Lucy keeps mom and dad pretty busy these days!), one of the reasons we've decided to grow is to allow mom and dad more time to spend with our giggly, raspberry-blowing bundle of joy.
Meet Ann, our new manager. A go-getter at heart, she's well-qualified to handle any request and ready to help make your stay as comfortable as possible with the same high standards we've always held dear. She'll greet you at the door, guide you to our various amenities, serve you breakfast, create a festive cocktail hour in the afternoon, and attend to anything else that will make you feel at home.
We first met Ann two summers ago when she was managing a standup paddle board outfit a few blocks away. A newcomer to the Jersey Shore, Ann has since made Asbury Park and the surrounding area her home. "It's incredibly vibrant," she says, comparing it to her former home in the Finger Lakes near Ithaca, New York. "There's something here for everyone, the beach of course, but also eclectic shopping, the funky music scene. And it's truly a foodie's paradise, second to none outside New York City." Ann's enthusiasm for "all things Jersey Shore" is one of the reasons we enjoy having her around; she's tried the best the area has to offer and can make excellent recommendations. Most of all, though, her expertise in hospitality and public relations plus her her culinary and travel experiences make her uniquely qualified to help run the Inn.
"It's my dream job, really," admits Ann. "So many of my life experiences can be incorporated here – my service work as a teacher, running my own home as a mom, my love of cooking and gardening, my years as a blogger… plus, I love meeting new people and being of service," she says. "Running the Inn is like managing my own home the way I'd do it if I were always entertaining. The best part is working to make each guest's experience unique and memorable in some way," she says, smiling. "The Inn is a beautiful place to work, and Kate and Joe have made me feel right at home."
One of the aspects Ann enjoys most is the unexpected nature of each day. "I might begin my day serving breakfast, then set up carts for our guests to take to the beach, work in the gardens, or take pictures of Kate's amazing culinary creations to showcase on our social media. Last week I arranged flowers for a wedding rehearsal dinner and served mimosas to the bridal party. Every day is different and each weekend has its own flavor depending on our guests; we might be simultaneously hosting a family reunion weekend at the beach and another couple's romantic getaway. I truly enjoy being able to help our guests find the magic here in Asbury Park."
We invite you to come meet Ann and let her pour you a cup of morning joe out on the front porch. Kate, Joe, baby Lucy, and Winnie the dog are all still here to greet you. Now, there's even more to enjoy at the Asbury Park Inn!
Celebrating with a Personal Touch
We all think of Bed and Breakfasts as relaxing places to vacation, but a great advantage of our service is a distinctive, personal touch. Asbury Park Inn is no exception. In fact, we relish helping our guests celebrate special events with unique services you'll rarely find anywhere else.
We've proudly hosted weddings, rehearsal dinners, bachelorette parties, anniversaries, and birthdays, both grand affairs and others more intimate. A recent guest celebrated his hard-earned attainment of an advanced degree. Whatever your special occasion, we love taking care of the details. Whether you need extra seating in the courtyard to accompany your entourage or would like to gift your special someone a professional massage in your room, we can make it happen. Champagne and strawberries? Maybe a seasonal bouquet delivery or sweets from one of our superior Asbury Park bakeries? Food truck catering for your friends and family? That's actually happening here in a few weeks, and we can't wait! We're hoping to see our first flashmob engagement right here – will it be you and yours?
The best part of being an Innkeeper is getting to know our wonderful guests and the unique ways we can serve each and every one. So when you're planning what you hope will be your next "day to remember," let your imagination run wild. Then, let us do the legwork.
Cheers to celebrating good times! How can we help you make it a memory to last a lifetime?
Breakfast by the Sea
There's a certain tranquility to waking up to the bright seaside warmth in the summer months. Lazy conversation spills across the front porch interspersed with sips of rich coffee, mostly about the day's lackadaisical plans. The boardwalk hums with possibilities – a stroll along Asbury Park's historic Convention Hall? A visit to the locally-owned clothing and craft shops, perhaps? Or maybe you can't resist the siren call of the colorful beach umbrellas staked in the sand. Why not all three? Wherever your vacation days take you in Asbury Park, you won't leave the Inn hungry.
Our breakfast menu changes seasonally, with farm fresh ingredients always in the spotlight. To begin your morning, we offer fresh-baked blueberry muffins or a thick slice of banana bread with butter. Our hearty fare this summer has included several savory options, a tomato, mozzarella, and basil quiche and a chorizo scramble with tomatoes and avocado among them, as well as traditional egg options. The hickory-smoked bacon and sage breakfast sausage are sourced fresh from a local Jersey farm and are among our most popular side options. Of course, no summer breakfast would be complete without fluffy blueberry or chocolate chip pancakes or a thick Belgian waffle laden with warm maple syrup. Looking to lighten things up? We offer a mixed green side salad with our house vinaigrette. Or try the Greek yogurt and berry compote paired with our own homemade granola teeming with almonds, oats and dried fruit. We also offer a range of options for our vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests. Just ask!
By far, one of our guests' favorites this summer has been our summer berry breakfast cobbler with cornmeal biscuits, a dessert-for-breakfast kind of indulgence. Although we'd love to describe that decadent deliciousness here, our friend Sarah at ImaginariYUM has shared her experience at the Inn and her love of this warm, fruity breakfast here: Summer Berry Breakfast Cobbler Recipe from ImaginariYUM. The recipe is included, so feel free to try your hand. Or better yet, come visit and let Innkeeper Kate make you something just as scrumptious. Then, enjoy the day taking in the beach or boardwalk, the sights and sounds of Asbury Park, or just relaxing in the cozy quiet of the Inn. Summer doesn't get much better than this!

Farm to Table this Summer at Asbury Park Inn
We signed up for a CSA (community supported agriculture) box share this year through Honeybrook Organic Farm in Pennington & Chesterfield, NJ (http://www.honeybrookorganicfarm.com/).
We love the idea of supporting a New Jersey farm and incorporating local, organic, super-fresh produce into our breakfast menu. We're thrilled with it!
This week we received the most abundant box so far. We got chard, beets, summer squash, cucumber, onions, parsley, cantaloupe and more (picture below… look at the size of that beet!). Our minds have been racing with all of things we can make with the bounty each week. Here are some of the ideas that we came up with recently…
Cucumber & Mint Cocktail
Handful of fresh mint (reserve some pretty springs for garnish)
2 medium cucumbers
2 lemons or limes (or one of each)
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup vodka
Bottle of club soda or tonic
Turnip Crostini
Loaf of crusty bread or a baguette
2 radishes, sliced very thin (ideally with a mandolin)
8oz cream cheese
1/4 cup of chopped herbs (use whatever you have on hand… I used parsley, chives, dill, thyme and rosemary)
3 garlic cloves, smashed
Salt & pepper
Over the past few weeks we've used our farm goodies to bake zucchini bread and whip up blueberry pancakes for guests. We've incorporated the amazing farm fresh eggs that we get from Puglisi Egg Farm (in Howell, NJ) to make chard & kale frittatas. And we've served perfectly ripe cantaloupe rolled up in prosciutto during our cocktail hour! It's been a lot of fun experimenting with produce that we normally wouldn't think to buy at the market.
Can't wait to see what comes next week!
Asbury Park Home Tour
We are excited that Asbury Park Inn will be featured on the 20th Annual Asbury Park Home Tour on Sunday, June 14.
10 homes will be featured on this year's tour, including a unit in the Vive (a well-known condo complex near the beach), two B&Bs (including us), gorgeous old Victorian homes and other impressive architecture for which Asbury Park is known.
Check out the commercial for the tour on APTV:

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 on the day of the event and can be purchased at Asbury Park Roastery, The Showroom Cinema, America's Cup Coffeehouse, here at Asbury Park Inn and online…
Hope to see you here!
Kate & Joe, Innkeepers
Wedding Weekend!
We had the honor of hosting an amazing wedding weekend here at the inn. We were thrilled to be a small part of this couple's special day… and to get to know them and their friends and family!
Janet & Sonia contacted us in January – initially to have a simple ceremony and dinner at the inn, but their wedding day evolved into all kinds of fun for them and their guests.
It started with breakfast here at the inn and then a portion of the guests moved to the Ocean Spa Suite with Janet for an afternoon of relaxation. We brought in masseuses Kristin Shaw (ayatanamassage.com) and Umberto from Tao Massage (taomassage.com) for individual treatments. Gloss Salon also sent over a lovely manicurist for the afternoon (glosslooks.com). Janet provided some mood music and the afternoon was topped off with lunch and mimosas!
Sonia and her pals took a different route – a scotch tasting! It was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon. The facilitator, Karen, paired each scotch with a snack so that the tasters could fully appreciate the flavors… and decide what to drink for the rest of the day!
And there were more activities! The couple had a jigsaw puzzle made for guests to assemble (it was a collage of pictures of Janet & Sonia through the years). Also, guests created a bucket list for the couple – everyone was asked to take a Polaroid of themselves and write something that Janet and Sonia must do at some point in their lives (i.e. 'visit Paris in the Spring,' 'climb Machu Picchu,' etc.). Such great ideas!
The crew eventually took a break from the fun to get ready for the ceremony and dinner. This gave Janet & Sonia the opportunity to get their hair and makeup done and take some beautiful photos at Asbury's iconic casino and boardwalk.
There were some Indian traditions incorporated into the marriage ceremony (to honor Sonia's heritage). The couple was adorned in flower garlands, walked around a lit candle and then passed the flame to their guests (who were all holding taper candles). They recited touching vows and there wasn't a dry eye in the house!
Cocktail hour then commenced with BBQ pulled pork sliders, Asian meatballs and signature cocktails Old Fashioneds and Dark & Stormys. Dinner included a seasonal salad, braised veal and garlic mash, crispy Asian salmon and spicy noodles and more! And after some beautiful toasts by friends and family members, Sonia's favorite combination was served for dessert – homemade chocolate peanut butter layer cake!
Everyone moved to the courtyard for a fire and s'mores… the weather didn't quite cooperate, but they rounded out the night with cigars and after-dinner drinks on the porch. It was truly a memorable day.
And they weren't done yet! The group gathered once more on Sunday morning for bagels, lox and a make-your-own Bloody Mary bar! They rehashed the wedding weekend and said their goodbyes after snapping a few final pictures. Guests departed with a lovely homemade favor – a pot of jam, made by Janet.
Janet and Sonia then jetted off to the Caribbean – a well-deserved getaway!

Napa & Bread Baking
The innkeepers took a break from the Northeast cold and snow and spent last week in Napa and San Fransisco, CA. It was amazing! Overwhelming! Inspiring! There was just so much to try and so little time… we came home equipped with all sorts of new knowledge about food and wine and some ideas to try for the inn.
Bouchon Bakery is a gorgeous spot for bread and pastries in Yountville, CA. While we don't have their fabulous kitchen (or world famous bakers!) this spot inspired us to bake some of our own bread to serve with breakfast here at the inn.
This recipe for French Bread with Beer – shared by our guest and new friend Kathy – was a great way to start. And bread baking on a cold, snowy day was a lovely way to take my mind off of the 65 degree temperatures that we left behind in sunny CA! The finished product is beautiful and tastes like a dense, flavorful baguette… perfect to eat with a beef stew or with a smear of herb-y soft cheese.
French Bread with Beer
1 1/2 cups beer or ale (I used Pabst Blue Ribbon)
1 tbsp dry yeast
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tbsp light oil (I used canola oil)
2 tsp salt
2 cups unbleached white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour or stone-ground cornmeal (I used a combination)
Heat the beer until it's warm (not hot), pour into a large mixing bowl, add the honey and yeast, stir and let sit until the yeast is dissolved and bubbling (about 30 minutes).
Add the maple syrup, oil, salt and white flour and beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Gradually add about 2 cups of the whole wheat flour (simply hand mix at this point, with a heavy wooden spoon) or as much as it takes to make the dough pull away from the sides of the bowl and form a blob.
Plop the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic. Sprinkle on more whole wheat flour if it is too sticky.
Put the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turn to coat on all sides and cover and let rise until dough has doubled in bulk (I waited over an hour).
Punch the dough down and press out any air bubbles, plop it again onto a lightly floured surface and cut it in half. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 15 minutes.
Butter a large baking sheet and dust with cornmeal. Use a rolling pin to roll each half into a rectangle-ish shape (I continued sprinkling flour on the counter, dough & rolling pin throughout this process). With your fingers, roll up each rectangle along the long axis to create something like a tight jelly roll. Pinch the ends of the rolls and tuck them under a bit. Transfer the rolls onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Make several diagonal slashes along the top of each roll with a sharp knife. Brush the tops with melted butter, cover with the kitchen towel and let them rise until almost doubled (I put the pan in a warm spot, which seemed to help!).
While you wait, preheat the oven to 450 degrees, fill a spray bottle with clean cold water and have a large cup of water handy (near the oven). Just before you put the loaves in the oven, spray them a bit with water and splash some water onto the floor of the oven (to create a cloud of steam). Pop the pan in and quickly close the door.
Repeat the splashing/steam cloud creation again after 5 minutes and then a third time after 10 minutes. Turn the oven down to 375 degrees and bake for 15 more minutes or until the bottom of the loaves sound hollow when tapped (total baking time approximately 25 minutes).
Cool on a rack and try a slice with some salted butter as soon as they are cool enough to handle!
Happy Bread Baking!
Kate & Joe

Client Reviews for Torroelleta
Fantastic Villa, Our family had a lovely time, we did not want to leave. We wish we booked 2 weeks. The rep, Tracey went out of her way on our last day to help us. Will be using again
We had a wonderful holiday and are already thinking about next year :) Vintage Travel made everything so much easier and we will definitely look into booking through Vintage Travel again thank you very much.
Great holiday in fantastic villa. Excellent information provided by Vintage Travel - really appreciated document wallet and map and information booklet, plus detailed villa information. Thank you.
A lovely spacious villa with interesting decorative objects. Lovely pool and garden and we enjoyed the different areas to sit outside. The sound system and CDs were very much appreciated as were the sun umbrellas and cool boxes that we could take to the beach. Cala Morell is an interesting place and we enjoyed a meal at the local restaurant, with views over the bay - it was good to be able to walk there and back and not need the car.
What a beautiful Island. We have fallen in love with the place. We loved the seclusion of the villa and had a perfect holiday. Many Thanks.
A lovely villa in a beautiful, quiet setting with birdsong and interesting wildlife. Vintage travel could not have been more helpful.We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday.
The villa was beautiful. Stunning location with extensive grounds and very private large pool. We had a great holiday.
We had a wonderful stay here at this fantastic villa and in Menorca. First visit of many we hope! The villa is nothing short of perfect, the pool and the stunning views make this a hard place to leave and we have been talking already about when we could book two weeks for next year. Menorca is a beautiful Island and we have enjoyed the glorious coves and sandy beaches. We can certainly recommend this as a great family holiday.
Torroelleta is in an excellent, secluded position with far-reaching views over Calla Morell and out to sea. Most of the local villas are owned by Spanish families as holiday homes and so the village is very quiet out-of-season, something we loved! Sitting outside in the evening calm was a delight. There is a great restaurant and a beach cafe in Cala Morell within 5 minutes walk. The villa is spacious, traditional, well maintained and has everything you need. The pool is gated, which is great if you have little ones (though a bit chilly at the start of the holiday, it warmed up when the sun came out) and the huge garden is well maintained and good for exploring with toddlers. A car is a necessity to see the rest of the island and Ciutadella is only 10 minutes away. We had a fantastic holiday and hope to return soon!

Designer: Rebecca Uth
The fine curves and craftsmanship of this bowl transform the natural oak into something utterly sophisticated. Burnished to a fine grain and smooth finish, the wood retains its organic qualities – and reminds us that masterful simplicity can be much more powerful than embellishment. The dimensions of the bowl make it the perfect choice for salads, bread, fruit or simply decoration, and the effortlessly elegant piece is equally at home on kitchen worktops as the dinner table.
Design year: 2013
Materials: Oak wood

As part of finishing off our master bedroom, I have been saving my pennies to buy a set of early Victorian (mid 1800s) set of cedar or mahogany drawers for the master bedroom. We have a set of replica pine drawers which were a moving-out-of-home present from my parents. However they have yellowed over the years and the space can fit a larger set (and I will never say no to more clothing space!). I spied some on Ebay almost a year ago (here). The first set is still listed. Over the summer holidays we saw some other alternatives on the Mornington Peninsula which are also contenders. I prefer the older simpler styles - rounded wooded handles, slightly curved sides - the furniture becomes more onate in the late 1800s. Decisions....

One of my priorities for the first few months of this year is to finish off our master bedroom. I have been doing things in dribs and drabs (some early progress here). But somehow making decisions for the room you spend most your time in is much harder than making decisions for the guest bathroom! Lots has been done - kind size bed and upholstered bed head, built in robe a new rug and roman blinds. But I still need to make a decision about reupholstering the small couch (early deliberations here). Before we go any further, I wanted to post some photos of the room when we moved in (and from the sale materials).

Just as I was my retirement was cut short by gainful employment, I was planning to refresh the guest bathroom. Having to work for a living, unfortunately meant that this project took much longer. However eventually Mr B offered to help out with the plastering and painting. So now it is all done, and I am disproportionally pleased the outcome. Check out the Before photos here.

I inherited this pine linen press in the guest bathroom when we bought the New Home. It is a very useful place to stash towels (luckily because it can't be moved out of the room). As part of my re-fresh of the guest bathroom I also re-furbed this cupboard.
Inspired by some photos I spied of dark cabinetry I decided to paint the linen press Dulux Domino in a high gloss finish. I thought about painting the inside white, but then went with the dark colour but decided to line the shelves with some Porter's Maharani wallpaper.
I was hoping to use a set of glass door knobs which I bought at the Chelsea Garage Market in New York (here) - but unfortunately one was too broken to use. So I have used a pair of black and white ceramic ones from Anthropologie. I am really pleased with the finished product.
PS. Check out this amazing linen press on 47ParkAve.

I received a number of unexpected "green things" this Christmas which have been added to the mantle.There is a little debate about the grass vase which was re-gifted to me by someone who knew I appreciated green more than they did! I was particularly touched by the uprecycled bottle from S.P.

To celebrate the new year I changed around the open shelving in the kitchen. The change was triggered by the absolutely tea-set by sister bought me for Christmas.
However I had no trouble finding enough white, pewter and glass items to fill out the shelves. The small sugar bowl was an impromptu present from my Nonna on my last visit. The cream and blue old floral plates were one of my purchases of "vintage" things - and I still love them. The old fowler jars with candles are one of many left-overs from our wedding table settings.

One of my favourite stores in New York was John Derian which was just around the corner from where I was staying. There are two stores - one with the decoupage and other small items and another with furniture and linens - this is where I was blown away by the block prints and linens.I particularly loved the Les Iniennes fabrics.
They also have some beautiful west African vintage indigo cushions and some cushions made from vintage rag rugs (an idea to action another time!).
I found some vintage indigo fabric elsewhere on my travels which I have had made into some throw cushions and also splurged on some John Robshaw blue and white block print cases for our guest room.

Once all the garden beds were emptied out, the first job we tackled was replanting the tiered garden beds with some gardenias and small hydrangeas.
The much bigger task was dealing with the rest of the area. We wanted to make the garden beds a lot narrower because the space was relatively small and I wanted to maximise the lawn. However this meant moving two very large sandstone blocks. We had a few attempts are moving these - firstly Mr B got all excited about hiring a "small bulldozer" to do the job (and some of the levelling work). But it turned out to be absolutely useless. So instead we hired a circular saw to cut the blocks into pieces which could be carried. This meant that most of the blocks could be used in a small retaining wall at the back of the lawn. We then levelled out
I am kicking myself for not taking more WIP photos - but Mr B literally didn't let me stop long enough to take photos. We got all of this done in two very long days.
After all the hard-core landscaping was done, S.P. and I planted ten white sasanqua Camellia's along the fence and filled the smaller garden beds with some more gardenias. We also planted some lillies around the base of the gum tree.

"This Oxford institution has been dishing up excellent food in pretty surroundings for two decades now..."
The Observer Food Magazine, September 2008, in an article which included Al-Shami in a list of 27 UK restaurants where one can eat well and inexpensively.
Al-Shami has provided Lebanese food and hospitality in Oxford since 1988. It may have been the first Lebanese restaurant in the UK outside London, and Al-Shami has certainly contributed to the growing awareness of Lebanese food in this country.
We have many long-established regular customers, some of whom travel long distances to enjoy our food. The restaurant is a popular choice for party bookings and we cater for a lot of private functions, in the restaurant and elsewhere.
Al-Shami is owned and managed by the Mahfouz family. It is our only restaurant and we have no connection with any other Lebanese restaurant.
Our restaurant is open every day from noon until midnight. And we do mean every day.
Our restaurant is in Jericho, close to the centre of Oxford and the interesting shops, restaurants and cafés of Walton Street and Little Clarendon Street. It shares a building with our small hotel, The Richmond.
We believe strongly that real food and hospitality can improve our wellbeing, as individuals and as a community. We aspire to provide real value to our customers; it gives us pleasure to see our customers arrive, and even greater pleasure to see them leave feeling happy and grateful for their experience.
We value and enjoy our place in the communities of Jericho and Oxford and our relationships with the Arab and Jewish communities.

I've been in a dilemma on making a choice. I like big screens, but I like portability etc. I like stock devices that just work, but I like rooting to make it do things I want, lol. I have amazon prime, but the 7" kindle fire hd seems a bit lacking. The nexus 10 is very tempting, but I would miss out on amazon prime content, the nexus 7 doesn't have hdmi out. (One of the things I want a tab for is to connect to the bedroom tv)
I'm curious if anyone else has considered buying two tablets. With prices these days, you can almost get two for one. I think I've come to the decision of a nexus7 and the 8.9" kindle fire (if they ever release it). Not to mention two tablets is good for making the wife happy. All the while the price is only $100 more than a nexus10, and roughly the price of a single ipad.

|Magical characteristics
|Active powers
|Inactive powers
To sow discord
|Character information
|Only appearance
Hete (meaning Hate in Old English) is an antagonist in the novel The Warren Witches. He was a demon of hatred who foments hatred among humans, and has caused most conflicts around the world, including the Salem Witch Trials.
The demon has existed since the beginning of time, and has caused most conflicts throughout history. Unlike most demons, Hete's true form is a puff of black vapor. There is no known way to vanquish Hete, because he was born from hatred of mankind.
In the modern times, he was summoned by two inexperienced teenagers, Marissa Hargrave and Laurie as a prank on Natalie Kent. Since they substituted wolfsbane with powdered mushrooms for the summoning potion, the demon turned on Marissa instead, causing the girl to become the center of discord at school.
The sisters discovered what happened and tried to banish the demon, but he escaped and amplified his influence over the whole town. He led the female students at Marissa's school to the Halliwell Manor. The sisters then banished him with a spell, sending him back to whence he came.
Powers and AbilitiesEdit
- Active Powers
- Possession: The ability to possess another being's body. Hete cannot control his victim's actions while possessing them.
- Rage Projection: The ability to project the emotion of discord.
- Other Powers
- Invincibility: The ability to be impenetrable to physical and magical harm. Hete cannot be vanquished, only banished.
- Immortality: The ability to live an infinite lifespan.
To Summon HeteEdit
There is a spell to summon the demon in the Crucible. To summon the demon, a potion is required for the spell, but wolfsbane is the only ingredient revealed.
To Draw Out HeteEdit
- Mark of hatred, hear our plea,
- Bring the demon forth, to be fully seen.
Banishing SpellEdit

- Demon of hared,
- be gone from this place,

Undoubtedly, this will be the most sought-after potential collaboration to appear on 4 Your Eyez Only. Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole are the two most respected "rapper's rappers" in the game, praised by the OGs and idolized by the newcomers. They have a brief but convincing collaborative history, as Cole produced "HiiiPower" on Kendrick's debut album, Section.80, and then enlisted the TDE rapper to guest on Born Sinner's "Forbidden Fruit" two years later. Last year, they each remixed one of each other's most famous songs for a TDE x Dreamville "Black Friday" special, which really induced hysteria among all of their fans, hoping a joint project between the two adept emcees would serve an antidote to What a Time to Be Alive.
Since those remixes, there hasn't been any further evidence to point toward a joint project, and the announcement of 4 Your Eyez Only should suggest that such a project is a ways away, if it is to ever materialize. In any case, even those who loved 2014 Forest Hills Drive due to the absence of features would welcome a Kendrick verse on 4 Your Eyez Only. The album is expected to have a deep narrative focus, and Kendrick may be the one guy who can take on such a conceptual weight and help enhance Cole's vision.


text: Marcellus ShaleOur current gross Marcellus shale production as of July 18, 2012, is approximately 146 Mmcf per day (30.1 Mmcf per day net), which represents an increase of more than 28% since the end of 2011. We have more than 32 Mmcf per day (6.6 Mmcf per day net) of production shut in due primarily to offset drilling and completion activities. We have implemented a development program within our acreage in Northeast Pennsylvania and are concluding an appraisal program in Central Pennsylvania. Our budget, as revised in February 2012, was to drill 49 gross (12.4 net) operated wells in the Marcellus shale play in our Appalachia region. Of the 49 wells, 46 gross (11.5 net) are development wells and 3 gross (0.9 net) are appraisal wells. Most of our drilling activity will be in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania where we are realizing our best returns in the Marcellus shale. However, our last four wells in Central Pennsylvania realized average IPs of 7.2 Mmcf per day from average lateral lengths of approximately 4,700 feet, exceeding our forecasts. During the second quarter of 2012, we utilized three operated rigs in the play. We are currently drilling with one operated rig. We continue to evaluate our 2012 Marcellus program, which could impact our rig count, activity levels and number of wells turned to sales. Our net drilling dollars are reduced by the effect of the carry we receive from BG Group. Approximately $8.0 million of the carry remains available to us from BG Group as of June 30, 2012. We expect that the remaining carry will be used in the third quarter 2012. During the second quarter 2012, we spud 9 new operated wells and drilled and completed 12 gross (4.0 net) operated wells in the Marcellus shale. These 12 completed wells included eight wells in Northeast Pennsylvania and four wells in Central Pennsylvania. We are also focused on building our field infrastructure, particularly water handling lines, storage and disposal facilities, in support of our expected levels of activity. These infrastructure investments are expected to be the primary drivers to reduce our average development well costs.

To avoid personal injury, you must use a scan tool to relieve the gear tension in the hydraulic modulator. This is a function of the scan tool and must be performed prior to removal of the brake control and motor assembly.
- Use a Tech 1® scan tool to perform the gear tension relief sequence.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Clean, high quality brake fluid is essential to the safe and proper operation of the brake system. You should always buy the highest quality brake fluid that is available. If the brake fluid becomes contaminated, drain and flush the system, then refill the master cylinder with new fluid. Never reuse any brake fluid. Any brake fluid that is removed from the system should be discarded. Also, do not allow any brake fluid to come in contact with a painted surface; it will damage the paint.
Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with the eyes and wash your hands thoroughly after handling brake fluid. If you do get brake fluid in your eyes, flush your eyes with clean, running water for 15 minutes. If eye irritation persists, or if you have taken brake fluid internally, IMMEDIATELY seek medical assistance
- Drain the brake fluid from the fluid reservoir, master cylinder and ABS actuator assembly.
- Detach the ABS brake solenoid valve electrical connectors.
- Unplug the brake pressure differential warning switch electrical connector.
- Detach the 6-way ABS brake motor pack electrical connector.
- Wrap a shop towel around the hydraulic brake lines and disconnect the 5 brake lines (2 to master cylinder and 3 to wheel brakes) from the modulator. Do not let fluid to enter the bottom of the motor pack or electrical connectors.
Cap the disconnected lines to prevent the loss of fluid and the entry of moisture and contaminants.
- Remove the clamps from the brake pipes.
- Unfasten the ABS hydraulic modulator/motor pack assembly retaining bolts, then remove the ABS hydraulic modulator/motor pack assembly from the vehicle.
- Position the ABS hydraulic modulator/motor pack assembly in the vehicle. Install the attaching bolt and tighten to 88 inch lbs. (10 Nm).
- Uncap and connect the 5 brake pipes to the modulator assembly, then tighten the brake line fittings to 142 inch lbs. (16 Nm).
- Attach the 6-way ABS brake motor pack electrical connector.
- Plug in the brake pressure differential warning switch electrical connector.
- Attach the 2 ABS brake solenoid valve electrical connectors.
- Fill the master cylinder with new DOT 3 brake fluid.
- Properly bleed the brake system.
- Tighten the two brake combination valve tube nuts to 13 ft. lbs. (18 Nm) and the 3 hydraulic modulator tube nuts to 24 ft. lbs. (32 Nm).
- Connect the negative battery cable.

The phrase, "How did Nick Foles not see Antrel Rolle?" isn't enough to dampen the sweet taste the 27-0 Sunday night shellacking left in Eagles fans' mouths. Foles threw two virtually-inexcusable interceptions, but didn't otherwise pay for his mistakes. In fact, the second interception led to a Giants drive that ended on a blown fourth-and-goal, that fact secondary to Victor Cruz tearing his knee out in a freak occurrence.
Foles' two errant passes took a backseat to the running-game rejuvenation, which is far more than LeSean McCoy simply straightening up and flying right. Foles took a number of snaps from under center, less from shotgun, in the shut-out win. This created better running lanes for McCoy, and allowed Foles a better opportunity to communicate with less-experienced center David Molk.
Nick Foles
Wee bit daunting that five of Foles' seven picks on the year have come over the last three weeks, and yet the offense generally seems to rub dirt on those wounds quickly enough (save for the 49ers game). A year ago, Foles handled the Cardinals expertly, throwing three touchdowns and no picks on 62 percent completions. Nine of Foles' 21 completions in that win were split among tight ends Zach Ertz (five, two for TDs) and Brent Celek (four, one TD).
KEY STAT: Foles has been content hitting shorter targets lately; over the first three games, Foles averaged 8.01 yards per attempt. In the last three, Foles averages 5.80
LeSean McCoy
Shady's back; tell a friend. A helluva performance from Molk at center, and improved handoff technique, both played a part in getting McCoy to where he could juke, cut, and dash to his heart's content. More than his natural abilities, McCoy simply looked comfortable, striding around edges with no hesitation, all burst. Against a rock-solid Cardinals run defense, an encore of those 149 yards may be a tall order, though.
KEY STAT: In one game, McCoy went from averaging 2.90 YPA rushing on the season to 3.64.
Zach Ertz
In that victory vs. the Cardinals last season, Foles leaned on his tight ends to great early success. I theorized that this year's Giants, who play just as similarly with a tough pass rush and pressing corners, can be beaten by making the most of the tight ends. Ertz continues to look better game after game, catching his second touchdown of the year in that Sunday nighter, hauling in a fluttering out-pass with a corner (Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie) on him.
KEY STAT: Ertz has averaged 13 yards ore more per completion in four of the Eagles five wins, and is on pace for 816 yards for the year.
One of the unsung stars in that shutout, Peters bullied Jason Pierre-Paul, making the defensive end sorry that he ever made a mathematically-incorrect taunt publicly. Allowing just two hurries in the game, Peters boxed out 'JPP' so well in the first half, Tom Coughlin and Perry Fewell had to move Pierre-Paul to the other side of the line after halftime in the hopes of generating more pressure. That's some respect for Peters' abilities.
KEY STAT: In six games, All-Pro Peters has allowed only eight pressures: a sack (in Week 1), a hit (in Week 3), and six hurries.
The 3.15 yards-per-rush allowed by Todd Bowles' defense are the lowest in the NFL, hemming in the likes of Rashad Jennings, Alfred Morris, and Ryan Mathews below four yards a pop. Just as McCoy finds traction and makes tracks on long runs, it's possible that he's running into a buzzsaw out in the desert.
Not a single Cardinals opponent this season has hit 100 rushing yards as a team, with the 49ers peaking at 92. It's a defense that implores you to try and throw on them, daunting you with their eight interceptions. Only Peyton Manning has been able to upend this defense, to the tune of 41 points. That the final 17 had to come in the fourth quarter projects how hard that D will make you work.
33-year-old Kelly was having himself a pedestrian season after being plucked from the Patriots scrap heap, but he got himself up for the showdown with another old team, the Raiders. Kelly accumulated three hurries and a run stop on Sunday, playing on nearly 80 percent of the defense's snaps. Even as the girthy Kelly gets older, he's an instinctive defender who can work the edges and create pressure. At any age, he can give Jason Peters and Lane Johnson a challenge.
KEY STAT: Kelly's 12 quarterback hurries are the most on the team, and nine more than the next non-injured defensive lineman (Kareem Martin and Frostee Rucker).
It's the LSU player on Arizona's defense that you *don't* often hear of. Linebacker Minter is a second-rounder out of last year's draft that brings consistently-solid coverage against the run. Minter ran a respectable 4.67 in the 40 at least year's Combine, and hauls his near 250 pounds to the line to stop the run, and to prevent long gains on the outside. Being serviceable is a trait of the lesser-spoken name, but Minter would probably take being reliable any day.
KEY STAT: Minter may be a liability in pass coverage, giving up four catches on five targets for 41 yards.
There was a time when Peterson's name took its place among modern-day elite NFL corners like Richard Sherman, Darrelle Revis, and Joe Haden. 2014's been far less kind to Peterson, who has struggled mightily in pass coverage throughout the season. Not only does Peterson have no interceptions and a single pass-deflection to his credit this year, he's been regularly toasted over the top. There has hardly been a game this year where a fan of Arizona's opponent has gone, "Geez, that Peterson is something else." That's a hefty drop-off.
KEY STAT: NFL quarterbacks possess a 124.9 QB rating when throwing Peterson's way, with four touchdowns, no picks, and 126 yards after the catch.
