We are staying another day in Greece traveling to the province of Epirus.
We take in the sights of Parga Beach with the astonishing, pristine waters of the Ionian Sea and partake in the local waterside amenities.
We then drive a short distance to view the Nekromanteio Ruins in Acheron.
Greece is also the home of featured jewelry designer Sotirios Boulgaris.
I had expected a trip to Italy for today's feature; however, upon researching the iconic Italy-based brand, I learned that its founder is actually Greek!
The progeny of silversmiths, in 1879 Boulgaris put his silversmithing skills to the test by moving to Rome, Italy and selling his handmade, silver objects on the steps of the Villa Medici.
The Villa Medici housed the French Academy, an institution populated with French artists who were recipients of a prestigious, Roman scholarship. The academy's adherence to certain artistic disciplines would influence Boulgaris' early designs.
A Greek merchant living in Rome was impressed with Boulgaris' earnestness and allowed him to showcase his distinctive, silver carvings in the window of his shop. Within 15 years, Boulgaris' unique ornaments became very popular earning him enough money to open his own store.
Always looking ahead, he continued to improve his skills and within 11 years, he would move his store to the location where it remains to this day: Via dei Condotti 10.
In an interesting bit of trivia, he initially named the store for a Charles Dickens novel, "Old Curiosity Shop" in the hope to attract tourists from Britain and North America.
With a decrease in clientele during the summer months and an increased, more versatile inventory at his disposal, for a time Boulgaris focused energy on wrangling potential customers staying in summer resorts outside of Rome. He focused on one area: St. Moritz in Switzerland. His decision proved lucrative as it allowed him to establish subsidiary stores managed by relatives.
Though enjoying his success in St. Moritz, Boulgaris recognized the importance of remaining attentive to his main store in Rome and he returned. Having involved his sons Giorgio and Constantino in the business--trained silversmiths as well--the company saw the addition of brilliant gemstones to its jewelry like diamonds, sapphires, and topaz.
After their father's death in 1934, Giorgio and Constantino renovated the Rome store and after almost three decades, renamed the store for the senior Boulgaris (the Roman spelling being Bvlgari).
Some twenty years after World War II, Bvlgari's design approach shifted from the French Academy's strict standard to its distinctive blend of Italian and Grecian aesthetics for which the company is world-renowned.
The brand's fine jewelry ranges from elegant gold bracelets, gold disc necklaces, and dog tag necklaces to lavish bib necklaces with hundreds of carats worth of precious gemstones, as well as beautiful bridal jewelry. In addition, the company implements stainless steel, sterling silver, and 18-karat yellow, white, and pink gold in its designs.
By the 1970s, the brand gained worldwide recognition with stores in Monte Carlo, Geneva, Paris, and New York; while also adding a watch collection to its list of luxury items that are manufactured in Switzerland.
Among its innovative luxury watch designs is the Diagono Professional Scuba Chrono. Implementing ideas from professional divers, the watch features anti-reflective glass, clear dial indicators, and luminescent markers.
In the last 25 years, the progressive, innovative company has seen a number of milestones. Near the mid-80s, Sotirios' grandsons, Paolo and Nicola, assumed administrative positions of Chairman and Vice-Chairman, while their nephew, Francesco Trapani, was elected Chief Executive Officer.
In the 90s--and therafter--the brand diversified its products with the inclusion of cologne, eye wear, leather goods, and silk products. The jewelry house addressed the issue of conflict diamonds by purchasing "polished" diamonds from suppliers who abide by the Kimberley Process, and provide a Kimberley Process Certificate.
Without question, this astounding brand is a bona fide member of the century-plus powerhouse club alongside Van Cleef & Arpels (France), Cartier (France), Tiffany & Co. (USA), and Carrera y Carrera (Spain).

text: Hi all, Version 0.13 of rsyncrypto has just been released. Main changes are: - Rsyncrypto now works on OpenBSD (assuming you have a patched gzip, but..) - The patch for gzip to make it work with rsyncrypto (--rsyncable) is now included in the "contrib" folder of the source. - Some minor clarification for my position on the "OpenSSL GPL exception" problem. The exception is still there, as I do not intend to make anyone's life harder. Read the "COPYING" file for more details. As for future directions - I am now working on making rsyncrypto work on more platforms, and in particular, Windows. The first stage for achieving this is moving away from "getopt_long" as a command line processing mechanism. I have found "argtable" (http://argtable.sourceforge.net), and am migrating rsyncrypto there. Expect a new version soon. This alone should allow us to use rsyncrypto on other Unixes, such as solaris. Shachar -- Shachar Shemesh Lingnu Open Source Consulting ltd. Have you backed up today's work? http://www.lingnu.com/backup.html

PIX problem
Unanswered Question
User Badges:
We have a strange ongoing problem since long. We have customers who have IPSec tunnels to our failover PIX pair (515e). Sometime it happens that they cannot access the mail servers on our end through MS Outlook client. When we failover the PIX they start working. We have Stateful Failover configured on the PIX pair. Any insight would help.

Although there is no rigid definition, a microcomputer (sometimes shortened to micro) is most often taken to mean a computer with a microprocessor (µP) as its CPU. Another general characteristic of these computers is that they occupy physically small amounts of space.
The microcomputer came after the minicomputer, most notably replacing the many distinct components that made up the minicomputer's CPU with a single integrated microprocessor chip. Such early models were primitive, the earliest microprocessors being little more than general-purpose calculator chips. However, as microprocessor design advanced rapidly from the early 1970s onwards, microcomputers in turn grew faster and cheaper, resulting in an explosion in their popularity.
Whilst the microcomputer may have taken over from older-style designs in many cases, its most significant effects are to have widened access to computers, and to have expanded their usage into completely new areas.

So, a downbeat spirit pervades "Twilight"'s songs. And in this gloom, Malkmus looks for and finds soft, dark, melodic wonders: "Spit On A Stranger" turns its eye towards relationships, "Major Leagues" towards a careerist's self-worth, and "Ann Don't Cry" tries to be an anthem for outsiders while visibly flashing its own lonely tear. It's not until the closing "Carrot Rope", a sunny bit of mid-tempo Pavement-pop-foolery with two competing and overlapping vocals, that a major-key ray of light is cast upon the proceedings. Let's hope that this little light is enough to get them through the night.

2. Folk Jam A Life Uncut And Wet

MMP/Instant Grat: Automatization for Amazon
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - Preorder incentives are growing in importance for campaigns. After teaching our system to process 'incomplete' asset packages for releases as well, it became possible to automate 'ig powa' deliveries to iTunes. Now it was Amazon?s turn ? same procedure, same effect: Instant Grat tracks are already available in the shop despite the fact that the remaining tracks are still being cut.
MMP/Product administration: Validity check for EAN numeric codes
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - We have set up stricter 'access controls' for EANs during the MMP product entry process. This means that when the sales department assigns EANs, the MMP automatically checks whether the numeric code is admissible for music products or if it may have already been reserved for another use.
Depending upon the results, the system sends out a warning, e.g. this EAN is one of a series of numeric codes that has been reserved for future use, or an error notice should the EAN belong to a different product segment. This replaces the procedure that was previously followed in cases of conflict, i.e. deleting and then re-entering the data under a 'valid' EAN.
A further tool for improving data quality in the MMP and supporting sales staff in processing product data.
EMS/Backend: New tool for metadata synchronization
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - Besides the many additions to the front end of the MMP, we are always busy tinkering at its back end as well. We regularly put our processes to the test as we strive to meet our aim of offering the best possible quality management.
The latest outcome of this internal check-up bears the name 'diffalyzer'. Just as its name implies, the diffalyzer is a comparative tool that constantly validates and checks up-to-the-minute metadata to ensure immediate detection of unwanted changes. If the diffalyzer finds something, the system notifies the EMS Operations and Technology team and relays the relevant information. We can then immediately and specifically check whether the discrepancies were deliberate, e.g. changes that were made at the shop interface.
The latest product out of our laboratory for increasing data quality is already in the beta test phase and running successfully.
MMP/Shops I: Delivery of audio files with added value to Amazon and iTunes
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - There is a growing demand among customers who buy digital products for further supplementary content besides the audio files and covers. This is why booklets can now be transmitted not only to iTunes via the MMP, but also to Amazon. Further shop interfaces are currently being prepared.
Since it is not possible to subsequently transfer a booklet to iTunes, we now offer the option of blocking the delivery of respectively designated products to iTunes until the booklet has been completed.
The focus at iTunes is currently on the topic, or rather the added value of lyrics. For this reason, we would like to remind everyone that the MMP has long included the field 'Track Lyrics', making it easy to deliver these contents.
MMP/Shops II: Newly connected and in the DDEX
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - So far, the following shops have been connected to the EMS in 2017:
|Akazoo DDEX
|Bandcamp DDEX
|Bmat DDEX
|Pandora DDEX
EXTERNAL: de_zwei_drei acquires new customer
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - In their search for a service provider who would restructure their web presentation, including the web design, the event organizers of lit.COLOGNE, one of the largest literature festivals in Europe, lit.RUHR, a festival that will be taking place for the first time this year, as well as of the international philosophy festival phil.cologne finally settled on our affiliated company de_zwei_drei and its range of services.
The job involves the development of a new system for the websites of all three festivals, providing accessibility and a flexible design, and optimally transporting various contents before, during and after the festivals.
We congratulate de_zwei_drei for acquiring this new customer and for their successful fulfillment of the contract.
EXTERNAL: New personnel at de_zwei_drei
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - Beginning on March 1, 2017, Barbara Jeszenszky has been adding her expertise to the de_zwei_drei team. We would like to use this opportunity to give her a sincere 'Welcome to the team!'.
After completing her training, Barbara carried out a range of different functions, but always in the music industry. Most recently she was IT project manager at Indigo in Hamburg.
Barbara has been hired by de_zwei_drei as a system analyst. Her job is to support the team during the evaluation of ideas, the planning of projects as well as the final quality control. Thanks to the experience she has gained over the course of her career, she is very well acquainted with the various facets of the music business and the needs of the individual players. Truly a stroke of luck for de_zwei_drei.
We are looking forward to a good and constructive cooperation.
IN-HOUSE: New optical fiber provider
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - Since January 2017, all data has been travelling through the newly laid optical fiber network of Netcologne. The partner in Cologne offers even better performance, which made the decision to switch an easy one. In order to eliminate even the slightest possibility of an interruption in supply, we worked with two optical fiber networks for two months.
EXTERNAL: Congratulations to the Zebralution founders
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - As of the beginning of April, Zebralution is 'indie' once more. Together with City Slang Managing Director Christof Ellinghaus and Embassy of Sound and Media Managing Director Konrad von Löhneysen , Zebralution founders Sascha Lazimbat and Kurt Thielen have bought the digital sales and distribution from Warner Music Central Europe. The four experienced music managers of the competence team want to strengthen their position as a digital sales and distribution company for independent labels.
We wish the new management board every success and look forward to continuing this good and well-established cooperation as well as taking on new challenges.
EMS/Away games: Come see us at the following trade fairs and conventions!
May 29, 2017 - Leverkusen - First, we are off to France. From June 6 to 9, 2017, we will be exhibiting at the Midem in Cannes. As usual, we can be found at the joint booth of the Association of Independent Music Companies (VUT). This year, our Operations Manager Lukas Hüttis will be assisting our two bosses Marc Radermacher and Irmin Wiechmann as they present the latest EMS features and hold acquisition meetings with national and international music industry representatives. Appointments can of course be requested in advance:
In July, we will then head to Berlin for the TOA - Tech Open Air. During the three days of the event from July 12 to 14, Marc Radermacher and Irmin Wiechmann will immerse themselves in everything that the (overlapping) digital topics of technology, music, art and science have to offer and compare notes with international greats. We will be excited to see the ideas that they bring back with them.
Dates I: Our year-end availability
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - As in the past few years, the EMS Operations Team will be fully staffed up to and including December 23, 2016.
Our developers will be using the quiet time between Christmas and New Year's to carry out maintenance work and to update the system. This means that the operations department will not be staffed during this time.
The MMP will of course be available without interruption during and between the holidays. Should any issues arise, colleagues will be on site to deal with the problem immediately.
MMP/IG automation
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - Effective immediately, IG POWA products that are only available as IG tracks can be imported via MMP and loaded into the iTunes store.
The same is also true for both 16 bit and MfiT products.
MMP/Shops I: Reconciling inventory
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - The function "Upload shop inventory list" makes it possible to reconcile inventory between the MMP and the shops. This means that sales personnel can now independently check at any time whether all products are in fact live in the shop or if takedowns have occurred.
To achieve this, an EAN list of all active items in a shop is simply loaded into the MMP. Various lists of differences are then compiled and mailed to the address provided.
An important service for quality assurance in sales and distribution.
MMP/Shops II: Artist ID administration
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - Correctly assigning releases to the respective artist profiles in the shops is certainly one of the great challenges when consolidating data.
The goal is to develop an Artist ID administration system that ensures that artists are not incorrectly matched across shops and that new profiles are not created by mistake.
The first stage of development has already been implemented and is ready to use. We are now working on the next steps.
Stay tuned.
MMP/Shops III: Quick look into the shops
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - Just as important as the availability of a release in the individual territories is the information whether it was "reviewed" or "polished" by the iTunes editorial team. Up until now, this could not even be determined using Connect. It is, however, a decisive factor, for example when deciding whether a track title can be updated without a ticket.
The MMP now provides direct access to this information.
MMP/Shops: Newly connected and in the DDEX
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - During the last half year, we have connected the following shops to the EMS:
|Nook (Barnes & Noble)
|Yonder DDEX
In-house/Staff: We back education
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - On September 1, help for our teams arrived in the form of a new student employee and two new trainees. At this time, we would like to again - and now officially - extend a warm welcome to them.
Over the next few years, Christian Kisseler will be familiarizing himself with development issues at EMS on four days a week while working towards his degree at FOM University. He will also gradually take over projects of his own. He first completed training as a wholesale and international trade agent. As a working musician, he is quite familiar with the particular sensibilities and needs of our sector.
The second new member of EMS' team of developers is Sebastian Dehn. He is studying to become an IT specialist for system integration, and we are very pleased that he will be completing the required 6-month internship at our company. We wish him a great deal of success in his project work as well as for the final examination.
Ahmad Mukdad, who is doing a 3-month internship at our affiliated company de_zwei_drei, has a very special résumé. Before political events forced him to leave Syria three years ago, he was studying computer science at the renowned HIAST Institute of Technology in Damascus. Now he would like to continue to work towards his chosen occupation in Germany and we are proud to be able to support him along the way. Once Ahmad receives his German C1 certificate in December, he wants to study computer science at RWTH Aachen University.
Colleagues are helping him implement his chosen project, "Audio Fingerprints", which involves an examination of the different representations of sound in physics and mathematics.
Dates II: End-of-year planning at iTunes & Google Play Music
Nov. 28, 2016 - Leverkusen - iTunes Connect and Google Play Music have announced their availability and delivery deadlines for releases up to the beginning of January. Please remember to give us enough advance notice about larger catalogues that are set to go online by the start of the new year.

EMS/Customers: Contract signed with Word and Sound
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - WAS - Word and Sound Medien GmbH and EMS are pleased to announce their cooperation. The complete digital catalog of the Hamburg-based company will now be delivered via the tried-and-tested EMS system.
Marc Radermacher, Managing Director of EMS GmbH, is very pleased to welcome this new customer, saying, "We are proud that EMS's service portfolio and the support services our team offers have convinced a company with so much market experience of our expertise. Our business relationship is based on mutual trust and the conviction that we will continue to play an important role on the market, even as an indie."
MMP/Message system: Prototype is live
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - The MMP message system gives the MMP more utility value for day-to-day business activities. The prototype is already ensuring transparency within the parties that work for and with the products.
All messages pertaining to products or tracks, such as "cover missing" or "release brought forward", can now be entered directly into the MMP for a particular product or track and then sent to the respective recipient(s) from there. Both individual users as well as groups, e.g. "marketing department", can be set up as recipients.
This makes any further communication channels superfluous because all information and work steps are recorded and further processed on one platform that is accessible to all involved.
At the next development level, the system will be able to automatically generate, deliver and, if applicable, confirm execution of such messages as "Import Ready", "Import Review", "Delivery Error", etc., by module. At the moment, we are discussing many promising new ideas with our customers for further useful applications for this new functionality.
MMP/Profile control: Architecture has been set
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - We have also taken a gigantic step forward in this.
During development of the project initiated under the name "Controlling Rights at Track Level", it quickly became obvious that we needed to start by examining usage and remuneration models that are geared towards DDEX Commission guidelines. It will continue to be possible to expand profiles per customer as desired.
eveloped out of day-to-day business practice, the available rights can be assigned per product as well as per track. The first controlling rights package in the MMP covers the following scenarios pertaining to paid downloads and streamings:
Download paid
- Generic Download Service: purchased download
- Untethered Download Service: download in a paid subscription system
- Streaming Paid (paid subscription): Interactive Subscription Streaming Service
- Streaming Ad-Supported (free subscription with ads): Interactive Ad-Supported Streaming Service
- Webradio (distribution of royalties through collecting societies): Non-Interactive Subscription Streaming Service.
The loaded profiles are displayed in the front end in the product view, the track list and the track view.
MMP/Shops: Newly connected and in the DDEX
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - During the first quarter of 2016, we have connected the following shops to the EMS:
|Amazon DDEX
|Spotify DDEX
|YouTube Musik Key DDEX
In-house/Staff: Congratulations
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - With great pride, we would like to once again – and now officially – extend our congratulations to our colleague and staff member Lukas Hüttis for having successfully completed his Bachelor of Science degree in Business Informatics.
Lukas Hüttis began working for EMS on April 1, 2012, while at the same time working towards his degree in Business Informatics in Cologne. During the last four years, he worked his way through all the departments at EMS. In keeping with his educational focus "Management" and his bachelor's thesis "Analyse und Weiterentwicklung eines gewachsenen Geschäftsprozesses in einem IT-Unternehmen" ("Analysis and Further Development of an Evolved Business Process at an IT Company"), he quickly found his place in Operations. He has been working there full-time since March, and helps his team colleagues take care of the daily customer and shop requests and is responsible for coordinating in-house projects with our development department.
We are looking forward to the continuation of this constructive and very good collaboration.
In-house/Service provider: We go green
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - We did it: Since March 1, 2016, EMS and de_zwei_drei are being supplied with 100% eco power generated by renewable energy sources from independent operators of small and medium-sized hydroelectric and wind power stations in Germany. From now on, all of our servers, storage systems, air conditioning systems, work stations, etc., will be powered climate neutrally.
We have also taken the first step and switched our gas consumption over to include biogas. We hope that we will soon be able to implement further measures to move us away from fossil fuels.
Our new energy partner is Naturstrom from Düsseldorf, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them again for the knowledgeable and honest consultation as well as for the unproblematic implementation. Their company policy of investing one net cent in the further development of renewable energies for each kilowatt hour used is completely in line with our commitment to sustainability.
Away game/In review: SXSW Interactive & Music
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - This year's SXSW once again had many new and inspiring things to discover.
SXSW Interactive and its top-class panels continue to take the lead in developing ideas for the trends of tomorrow. As part of the delegation from Germany, we and de_zwei_drei were among the exhibitors at Germany's joint booth at SXSW Music.
We came back with a lot of new ideas for the further development of EMS that grew out of the many conspiratorial talks and meetings we had with important international shop partners such as iTunes.
Away game/Preview: Midem, June 3 – 6, 2016
May 11, 2016 - Leverkusen - Just as in the previous years, we will again be among the exhibitors at the Association of Independent Music Companies' (VUT) joint booth at Midem. Marc Radermacher and Irmin Wiechmann will be presenting EMS's range of services at the booth, meeting prospective international customers and using the opportunity to discuss new ideas and future projects with their customers outside of daily office life.
Appointments available upon request.
MMP/Daily Sales: SalesViewer opens additional shops
November 24, 2015 - Leverkusen - Beatport and Google are now also integrated into the MMP SalesViewer. With just a single click, sellers and distributors can check the successes of their releases in the ten most important players. Since the market changes daily, this is an important tool for planning current and future marketing activities and for their evaluation.
MMP: Curated Shops
November 24, 2015 - Leverkusen - With the new cherry picker shop control feature, distributors now only have to process the labels and products that are explicitly cleared for the curated shops. The automated block is used uniformly for existing data and new systems.
Guaranteed by this default setting is that only the products and labels that have been specifically approved will be delivered to the curated shops.
In this way, an additional security level is implemented for data control.
EMS/Shops: Newly connected and linked to DDEX
November 24, 2015 - Leverkusen - In 2015 the following shops have been integrated into the MMP to deliver audios, videos and eBooks. In addition to new destinations for talking books, there were additional changes in DDEX.
|Agedi (ddex)
|Amazon Video (ddex)
|Amazon Prime Streaming
|Boomkat (ddex)
|Ciando audio
|Digiplug (ddex)
|Digitally Imported
|Google (ddex)
|Pandora (ddex)
|Real AT Ringtones
|SoundCloud (ddex)
|youtube music key (ddex)
EMS: Offsite data storage
November 24, 2015 - Leverkusen - In the latter part of the summer, EMS and Phononet signed a contract on the use of the Phononet data center for offsite backups. Thanks to this arrangement, we can offer our customers supplementary storage of their media files at the remote location in Hamburg. Secure transmission of the data is ensured through the existing VPN link between EMS and Phononet. Those who are interested are invited to get in touch with Marc Radermacher.
In-house: New member of the team at de_zwei_drei
November 24, 2015 - Leverkusen - Following a three-month practicum at de_zwei_drei GmbH, Jan Küchler is now enhancing the development team in Leverkusen, starting on July 1, 2015. This native of Düsseldorf, now 27 years of age, studied mathematics and specialized in information technology at the Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf. There he earned his Master of Science in Mathematics in the summer of 2014.
Jan is a major boost for us and for the team at de_zwei_drei. He is an avid music fan and is enthusiastic about the analysis and visualization of data - making him the perfect fit for the team.
Full steam ahead! Collaboration with Phononet and de_zwei_drei continues
September 23, 2015 - Leverkusen - For more than ten years now, EMS and de_zwei_drei, together with the Hamburg-based Phononet GmbH, have offered solutions to ease the marketing, steering and evaluation of digital media products. "What was launched with projects like the musicline.de search engine for music was continued with projects, still in existence, such as MPN or Digital Sales Service (DSS). The cooperation between our companies has been distinguished by an extraordinarily creative atmosphere, one in which new ideas are developed and services established," according to Dietmar Schlumbohm, general manager at Phononet. "And that decade of successful cooperation is continuing now at full power, forging into the future."
In addition to the many software projects carried out by the teams on the Rhine and Elbe, a further, independent form of cooperation has been established. Irmin Wiechmann, general manager at Encoding Management Service (EMS) and technical manager of de_zwei_drei, a development company, notes: "EMS uses, for instance, the highly professional data center operated by Phononet for offsite backups. To achieve this, the EMS storage systems were installed there and we now use the existing, secure VPN link to store the valuable data for our customers. Thus an agreement for collaboration in coming years has been made."
At the Reeperbahn Festival, the three partners will be demonstrating to the public the expansion of their Rhine-Elbe connection, celebrating this with Kölsch and Astra – traditional brands of beer in the two regions. The partners are extending an invitation to join them in the "Hasenschaukel" at 3:30 p.m. on September 25.
MMP/eBook: BIC integration completed
December 9, 2014 – Leverkusen - Along with the WGS and BISAC genres already stored and available for use in MMP, the BIC genre structure has now also been incorporated into the system. The latter is required for eBook deliveries to the UK and to other English-speaking areas, with the exception of North America.
The BIC genres are generally combinations of capital letters. Additional information is available at: http://www.bic.org.uk.
With the integration of the BIC genres, MMP is now offering quick and easy delivery to additional international destinations. This is a very pertinent factor for our customers as they internationalize their sales activities.
MMP/Video: ASIS imports are now possible
December 9, 2014 – Leverkusen - Analog to the audio ASIS administration in MMP, videos are also being accepted as ASIS imports.
In addition to conventional high-definition videos, it is now possible to deliver and administer other formats, such as H.264, via MMP. The delivery of additional formats offers sales departments the option not only of planning marketing campaigns for a publication, but also of organizing campaigns independently using the material available to them.
MMP: Completion of the exception browser now in the home stretch
December 9, 2014 – Leverkusen - The metadata exceptions in MMP used for iTunes are active. They make possible individual control of prices, publication dates and pre-order campaigns for specific products in certain regions. Significant occasions and holidays can be made use of in this way, both simply and at short notice, for sales-promotion measures and campaigns.
The connection of additional shops has been planned, in the same way as a direct import interface from merchandise management and the addition of the "allow subscription" function in streaming portals. These individual control options will elevate MMP to the next level as a dependable control center for successful sales of audio, video and eBook products.
EMS/Shops: New links
December 9, 2014 – Leverkusen - Since August of 2014 the following shops have been integrated into MMP – for the sale of audios, videos and eBooks. With these additions, the number of platforms and destinations in MMP has reached 115.
|Digitally Imported
|YouTube claiming
EMS: New technical infrastructure
December 9, 2014 – Leverkusen - Our server infrastructure has been upgraded once again. In order to ensure even more redundancy and greater protection against failures, we have transferred the MMP hardware to a virtualized environment. In this way operations are no longer tied to the functioning of a particular physical computer. As soon as any computer in the network fails, we can quickly transfer operations to stand-by computers running in parallel. This is an additional step in our efforts to continuously optimize and safeguard our infrastructure and services.
MMP/Audio: Additional automatic features for iTunes pre-ordering
September 4, 2014 - Leverkusen - In addition to 'POWA – Pre-Order Without Assets', further pre-order activities can now be effected, fully automatically, using MMP:
- Instant Grat(ification): Upon placing the pre-order, the customer will automatically obtain advance tracks from the release selected.
- Instant Grat Countdown: In the period between pre-order and the release date, the purchaser will receive, in a specific timed sequence, access to the individual tracks as they are successively released.
- Album Pre-Order Price Group: The product is offered during the pre-order period at a lower price than at the release date.
Following successful completion of test runs, these functions will be integrated into the basic MMP configuration.
The creation of additional iTunes pre-order features will, as usual, be carried out by our support team. If there are questions or if you are interested in using the pre-order features, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
MMP: Graphic Sales Viewer
September 4, 2014 - Leverkusen - The graphic depiction of the Sales Viewer is now online. After selecting a time period of 30, 60 or 90 days, the daily sales figures – filtered by shops, countries or labels – can be shown as curves and may be compared one with another.
The 'Top 10' charts for the download bundles, download tracks and streaming tracks allow for direct assessment of the effectiveness of marketing campaigns. A click on 'list view' will show the data for the period previously selected – 30, 60 or 90 days. This will thus make the Sales Viewer an important instrument for depicting and planning sales-promotion campaigns.
MMP: Cover sizes
September 4, 2014 - Leverkusen - For the entire media spectrum – audio, video and e-books – cover images in widths of up to 2,500 pixels can be delivered by MMP via EMS. The much-improved display capabilities in the new generation of terminal units are exploited perfectly with these high-definition covers. And the rumor is that cover files in this size are soon to become mandatory.
We are ready!

Restoring firearm rights in Washington state
The statute that controls restoring gun rights in Washington state is RCW 9.41.040(4)(a).
Restoring Washington state firearm rights after a felony or domestic violence misdemeanor conviction
If you lost your gun rights due to a felony or domestic violence misdemeanor conviction, you are eligible to restore your firearm rights if:
- Your conviction is not for a felony sex offense (but see notes below if you were a juvenile) (RCW 9.41.040(4)(a)); and
- Your conviction is not for a felony that is defined under any law as a class A felony or has a maximum sentence of at least twenty years (but see notes below if you were a juvenile) (RCW 9.41.040(4)(a)); and
- You do not have any pending charges in any state or federal court (RCW 9.41.040(4)(a)(ii)(A)); and
- You have gone at least five consecutive years in the community without being convicted of a new disqualifying crime (felony), or three years (domestic violence misdemeanor) (RCW 9.41.040(4)(a)(ii)(A)); and
- You have no prior felony convictions counted as part of your offender score under RCW 9.94A.525 (other than the one that is currently disqualifying you from possessing firearms); RCW 9.41.040(4)(a)(ii)(A); and
- If convicted of a domestic violence misdemeanor, you have completed all conditions of your sentence. RCW 9.41.040(4)(a)(ii)(B). This condition does not apply if convicted of a felony.
Restoring gun rights in Washington state after an involuntary commitment for mental health treatment
If you lost your gun rights due to involuntary commitment for mental health treatment, you are eligible to restore your gun rights if:
- You are not required to participate in court-ordered inpatient or outpatient treatment (RCW 9.41.047(3)(c)(i)); and
- You have successfully managed the condition related to the commitment (RCW 9.41.047(3)(c)(ii)); and
- You no longer present a substantial danger to yourself or the public (RCW 9.41.047(3)(c)(iii)); and
- The symptoms related to the commitment are not reasonably likely to recur. RCW 9.41.047(3)(c)(iv).
Restoring Washington state firearm rights due a protection order
If you lost your firearm rights due to being a restrained party to a protection order, you must ask the issuing court to terminate the protection order. The prohibition on guns disappears once the court removes the order.
Procedure for restoring gun rights in Washington state
To restore your gun rights, you must file a petition for restoration in the sentencing court or the superior court of the county where you reside. Washington state gun rights are never automatically restored.
Restoring Washington state gun rights after a class A felony or felony sex offense in juvenile court
You cannot restore your Washington state firearm rights if your conviction is for a class A felony or felony sex offense. But, you can restore your firearm rights even in these situations if your conviction is in juvenile court. You must first seal your juvenile record before petitioning to restore your gun rights.
Intervening convictions
If you have a conviction for an offense that prohibits you from possessing guns, and you later pick up another conviction for an offense that does not prohibit you from possessing guns, the five or three year waiting period starts from the offense date of the first disqualifying offense. The intervening new conviction does not restart the waiting period.
Benefits of restoring Washington state gun rights
Restoring firearm rights allows you to own and possess firearms under Washington state law, including the ability to apply for and receive a concealed pistol license.
Expungement not necessary
Expunging a conviction is not a prerequisite to restoring your Washington state gun rights. Thus, you could have a conviction that cannot be expunged and still restore your gun rights so long as you meet the requirements above.
Restoring federal firearm rights
Federal law does not consider a felony conviction as disqualifying for federal firearms purposes if you've had both your civil rights and firearm rights restored by the sentencing jurisdiction. Thus, when you restore your civil rights and firearm rights in Washington state, your federal firearm rights are automatically restored. 18 U.S.C. § 921(a)(20). Your civil rights are restored in Washington state when you receive a certificate of discharge upon completion of all conditions of your sentence, including probation and fines. RCW 9.94A.637. Because the sentencing jurisdiction must restore your civil and gun rights, if your conviction is in a jurisdiction that does not restore these rights (such as federal court, for example), you cannot restore your federal gun rights.
The federal government does not consider a domestic violence assault misdemeanor conviction that occurred under Washington state law as prohibiting firearms possession under federal law.
If you lost your federal firearm rights due to being a restrained party to a protection order, you must ask the issuing court to terminate the protection order. The prohibition on firearms disappears once the court removes the order.

text: On this day, a RAAF transport played an unheralded role in the sensational defection of a diplomat from the Soviet Embassy in Canberra. Australians were shocked by filmed images of Mrs Evdokia Petrov, wife of the defecting diplomat, being hustled onto a commercial flight out of Sydney by two burly 'escorts' returning her to the Soviet Union. After establishing that Mrs Petrov wished to stay in Australia, Commonwealth officials intervened during the flight's refuelling stop at Darwin and rescued her. She was placed on board a RAAF DC-3 and flown back to Sydney. With the press converging on likely landing points––Canberra, Mascot Airport or the RAAF base at Richmond––the aircraft put down into the now virtually unused ex-RAAF airfield at Schofields, which had been a Naval air station since 1953. Mrs Petrov was assisted down the aircraft steps, escorted to a car, and driven away through a back gate.

Petrichor Energy Inc. is an emerging oil and gas exploration company focused on acquiring, exploring and developing new oil and natural gas reserves in North America.
Petrichor Energy is growing its operations by implementing two primary objectives. The first is exploiting the potential of its low risk oil and gas fields in Texas and Mississippi. The second is to find new and highly prospective exploration projects in both North and South America — and to develop them into commercially feasible operations. By applying the latest geophysical and geological technologies when selectively drilling new wells, the company expects to increase its success ratio, as well as reduce the risk typically associated with oil and gas exploration.

Prosecutors say Serbian-born George Jakubec quietly packed the home with the largest amount of homemade explosives ever found in one location in the U.S. and was running a virtual bomb-making factory in his suburban neighborhood. How the alleged bank robber obtained the chemicals and what he planned to do with them remain mysteries.
Now authorities face the risky task of getting rid of the explosives. The property is so dangerous and volatile that that they have no choice but to burn the home to the ground this week in a highly controlled operation involving dozens of firefighters, scientists and hazardous material and pollution experts.

Ben had a difficult day yesterday. Dad runs a Homeschool History event monthly at the National Archives in Atlanta. We have a loyal group of homeschool kids who attend, and Ben has attempted friendships with others he found some commonality with. It's a good thing.But yesterday I found myself too busy to sit with him, and act as his interpretor, of a sort. Those same friends invited him to sit with them, but because there were new people, he was too anxious to comply. So for hours, he was alone in a room of 80 people. I felt so bad.
Michelle Dawson, I now see he saw it not as perfect world, but the world of the Blue people was a world where people of autistic thinking ruled, perhaps. He saw in the movie all the selfishness and seperation from others, and downright greed that serves as "normal" in this world today. This world in which the normal people are trying to make people with autism more like the bastards they are. Go figure.
I was so sad, so disappointed with myself for not being there for Ben. But the good Lord takes care of children and fools, and I figured something good would come of it. (When you are as big a ditz as me, this thought gives one comfort...)
I don't know why, but I brought up when Ben was young, and how I had read that there was a 50% chance of him being institutionalized--and only a 5% chance of him living independently. It was bullshit, but I didn't know it at the time. Of all people, Temple Grandin told me in the 60 second talk I had with here when Ben was 7, but she didn't quite put it in those words.
Good Lord, where am I going with this story? (so easily distracted...sorry...)
Anyhow, he let me talk this time. Maybe the day was so painful, he was open and not on his usual guard.
"You are a miracle, Ben/"
"You are, you've come so far!"
And I reminded him of the story where he first came to use the pronoun "I". After getting his diagnosis, I saw a blurb on the news about autistic kids using hippotherapy. Ben is adopted, and I took it as a sign, knowing his birth mother was so proud of riding horses since she was 3 years old.
Ben used to be so alert after riding on "Cricket". It was like the world opened up to him somehow. He had never answered a question directly before when I asked him driving home in the car, "Where do you want to go now, Ben?"
"I want to go to a movie." I always said we would have taken him to the moon.
He always used to hate it when I tell the part where it was a constant "Iwant...I want...I want...I want.." for the next week until I actually got tired of hearing it. But, it was a door of sorts, into another world where vocalizations had power.
"I need..." he said, after hearing the story. That's all, just 2 words.
I think we are going into a whole new level. May the good Lord give me strength, or whoever it is up there who hears a mother's prayer.

A specialist in developing orientation systems, unit-design basically redesigned Lufthansa's terminal plans for Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich airports. The terminal plans are a way for the airlines to offer their passengers a service so that they can find their way around the three international "Lufthansa hubs". The plans are designed for use in the most diverse of media and accentuate Lufthansa's service facilities.
As well as the analysis of the most important passenger movements at the airports concerned, we have conducted in-depth studies for optimised representation. It transpired in the process that the best perspective is one that shows no vertical distortion. Contrary to the usual line of vision seen from the arriving passengers, the opposite line of vision has proven to be much more understandable for the terminal plans.
Used in all flight plans and the Lufthansa Magazine, more than 3,000,000 printed copies of the terminal plans were distributed in 2006 alone. They can also be found in all screen and online publications and onboard all aircraft.

Because of this garage floor epoxy proprietary wicking technology, it will withstand 8-10 pounds of moisture vapor emissions while most epoxies fail at 3 lbs of moisture vapor. What does this mean?

I was just watching one of my favorite Spanish-language movies, Maria Full of Grace, which is fantastic for learning Spanish, by the way (because you can turn on English or Spanish subtitles and the script is available online), and I noticed they would use the expression "para qué" about as often as "por qué". I knew they were nearly the same, and the context seemed to indicate so, but I thought "well, there has to be a difference, otherwise why would they bother using one instead of the other?" So I did a bit of research and here's what I found out.
The difference
They can both mean "why", as in when translated into English they will both tend to be translated into that specific word, however…a good translator won't do that, because "para qué" doesn't really exactly mean "why", or just "why", at least. What it more accurately translates to is "for what?", that is you're asking what the purpose of doing something is, you're asking what the objective is, what the person intends to accomplish by doing it, in other words you're asking for what purpose they're doing it, hence the translation for it really being "for what?", or perhaps "what for?". See how that does sort of fall under the definition of "why", but a better, more precise way of putting it would be "for what"? It's sort of like translating "de qué parte?", which means "from what part", as "where"–yes, you could, it's not incorrect, but there's a more accurate translation.
"Por qué", on the other hand, is typically used when you simply want to know what someone's motivation is or what the cause is of something happening. Maybe they didn't have an objective, maybe they just did it because they were angry or happy or sad or whatever, or maybe there was an objective, in which case you can still use "por qué" though perhaps "para qué" may have been a better choice if you wanted to make it clear that you wanted to know what their objective was, not just their motivation for doing it (sometimes those are the same thing, sometimes not).
I like translating things literally because it helps you understand where the actual meaning came from. Here, it really helps: "para" means "for" in the sense of "in order to", whereas "por" is more frequently used to mean "by" or "because of", and of course "qué" means "what", so let's take that and look at these two phrases and see if this makes sense. "Por qué" literally means "because of what", as in "what caused this to occur?", whereas "para qué" literally means "in order to what?", as in "you're doing this in order to…what?". Does this make sense now? Hopefully this also helps you to remember when to use "por" and when to use "para", as well, since I know a lot of people have trouble with that.
Was the above useful to you?
If so, then I'd like to offer you a lot more of the same, and even better content.
"Lemme guess: you have a newsletter?"
Of course! Doesn't everybody now? Let's avoid wasting your time by laying out precisely who it's for (teachers? students? what level?) and what it contains (free stuff? product offers?) so you can determine if it's worth crowding your inbox with even more crap than is already in it.
It's targeted at beginning and intermediate students of Spanish and those who teach them. You'll get lots of free, useful content (outlined below) as well as the occasional offer for language-learning products I think are good (e.g. I have a book I've written, I mention it occasionally). Emails are rarely just about a product and when they are they're usually because I have some sort of exclusive discount I've negotiated for my subscribers. Several times a year I usually manage to get exclusive discounts I can offer for products like Glossika, Yabla, Mimic Method, GoSpanish online group classes, Learning Spanish Like Crazy, and many more. I can do this because people in the industry are familiar with me and my blog and know I can reach a lot of people so in exchange for that they'll give us exclusive discounts on their products.
"Ok, what sort of free stuff do I get?"
If you'll be so kind as to give me a chance by subscribing to my newsletter using the form below, you'll immediately get my 5-part "Getting Started Learning Spanish" series which is loaded with useful advice and resources for anyone learning or teaching Spanish. With the very first of these will be included my Top 10 Most Useful Online Spanish-Learning Resources. Thereafter things like my "Learn Spanish for Real" series will come, where I teach idioms and slang like "dolor en las muelas" (literally "pain in the molars", it's how they say "pain in the neck") and "estar en el quinto pino" (literally "to be at the 5th pine [tree]", a common expression in Spain meaning that something is far away). In these series I explain the expression, what it means, how to use it, and any history/etymology I can find on it. Other series I'm running that you'll receive include "Learn Spanish on YouTube" and "Learn Spanish from the News".

Internships are a chance to express yourself, impress others and progress your career. So how does the Cambridge MBA facilitate internships within an intense one-year programme?
Head of Business Development and Projects for the Cambridge MBA, Sadia Cuthbert says that, while students are free to source their internship, the School can provide support in several ways, for example by helping students prepare for the process of applying for a formal internship, and by bringing in companies such as Citibank, Amazon, Microsoft and Google to talk about the opportunities that exist within their organisations.
Tom Stanley, a current MBA student is looking forward to undertaking an internship with Citibank, he says:
"For me approaching my internship was a three step process. Identifying what made me 'tick' based on my previous experience, and finding roles and industries which matched my drivers. Once I had identified finance as my direction, I had as many conversations as I could to find out where I would best match.
"Networking was a key element for me, as well as attending meetings with Cambridge Judge career advisors. I went to employer events, travelled to meet friends of friends in finance, and remained in contact with people from multiple events."
Once the internship has been successfully completed, students submit a report which is marked by MBA faculty, and receive credit for their MBA. Crucially, this means if you are a Tier 4 (student) visa holder you can work full-time on an internship or work placement while you are completing your MBA.
But even if you don't fancy the idea of a formal internship, there are plenty of options for the Summer Term such as the Entrepreneurial Bootcamp, Lean Six Sigma qualification and Individual Projects. The Individual Project gives you the opportunity to work at a company on a project basis, rather than within the context formal internship, and offers just as much scope for landing a role after your MBA.
Sadia says: "IPs are a great opportunity to work with a company one-to-one (the core MBA projects – the Cambridge Venture Project and the Global Consulting Project are undertaken as part of a group). This can allow you to build great insight into that company and a very useful network, which may ultimately lead to a job offer – or the realisation that it's not you."
And in fact, it might be that an IP with a company, rather than a formal internship, could give you the experience that you are looking for. According to a recent Financial Times article, many large companies prefer students with some knowledge of start-up industries, rather than previous work experience in another large company.
However, there is plenty of scope to go down the internship route, as Lalit Peddakota (MBA 2013) did as part of the Cambridge MBA. He sourced an internship with global healthcare giant Novartis, and coming from a healthcare background where he worked as a scientist on the drug development side of Pharma, Lalit was keen to break into an area of the industry new to him – the commercial side, especially marketing. He enlisted the help of a Cambridge Judge healthcare careers advisor to draw up a list of companies to target for an internship. When Novartis visited the School he made his move and landed an internship which saw him working on the launch of two new dermatology products.
"That kind of experience – of being in on the launch of a new product – is quite rare, especially for a scientist and non-marketer. I worked on the annual plan for how the brands engaged with key opinion leaders to promote the products, and I also worked on developing a team vision for the newly created dermatology franchise. I was given a lot of responsibility and flexibility."
His main takeaways – besides the job he landed at the end of the internship – were being able to test out the culture to see if it was right for him and to do this in an exciting, high-performing and fast-paced team. He also relished the chance to be able to demonstrate his skills in real-work scenarios. He now leads an initiative for Novartis as they work with the UK NHS and health agencies to build a new commercial model that would reward companies based on health outcomes rather than pills sold.
Lalit advises MBAs to use internships to try out new environments – new roles or countries within a familiar field, or an entirely different industry. He also advises prospective interns to be ambitious and start their list with their ideal internship at their ideal company – then see what's on offer.
"There is always the option to propose an internship or project to your dream company even if they are not actively recruiting for one."

Friday Recipe Exchange: Meatballs
From our Food Goddess, TaMara:
A few weeks back I made meatball grinders – subs to most people – and was talking to my mom about them, because after all I used her recipe. She told me that one of her favorite things to do is to buy ground beef when it's on sale and make and freeze a whole bunch of meatballs. Then they are available to make all kinds of good stuff, like meatball soup and various meatball sandwiches.
Until that moment, I hadn't given meatballs much thought. I mean they're good, but beyond the occasional grinder, I didn't really use them. Then I went tripping around my own blog and found that JeffreyW had a whole bunch of meatball ideas. And that's how we got to tonight's recipe exchange idea: Meatballs!
I'll post a basic meatball recipe below and include the grinder/sub recipe. But first, let me point you to both JeffreyW's basic meatball recipe and how he's used them:
"Not Your Mama's Meatballs" (recipe here)
Meatball Soup (recipe here)
Couscous with Meatballs (recipe here)
For all of JefferyW's meatball recipes, click here.
Your turn. Do you have a favorite meatball recipe? Beyond spaghetti and meatball subs, what do you use meatballs in? And does anyone have a good vegetarian meatball recipe? Hit the comments and share your ideas.

A quick tip, cookie scoops make meatball production easier and quick.
Now for the featured recipes:
This is a DOUBLE recipe that makes 8 to 10 subs, you can easily halve the ingredients or you can freeze extra meatballs and sauce for later.
2 lbs lean ground beef*
½ cup Italian breadcrumbs
½ onion, chopped
½ cup milk
1 egg
2 tbsp grated parmesan
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
½ tsp crushed garlic
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp basil
baking sheet
Mix all ingredients together and mix well. You're going make 1 ½ inch balls. The easiest way to do this is to use a cookie/muffin scoop (see photo above). Place on the baking sheet and bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes. Don't overcook, as they will finish in the sauce.
*For spicier meatballs you can substitute 1/4 to 1/2 of the ground beef with spicy Italian sausage.
4-15 oz cans tomato sauce
2-6 oz cans tomato paste
14 oz can diced tomatoes
2 tsp oregano, crushed
3 tsp basil, crushed
3 tsp crushed garlic
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely grated
In large saucepan or dutch oven, add ingredients, bring to a low boil, reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add meatballs and stir gently. Let simmer for 10 minutes or longer.
Grinder/Sub Assembly:
8 large hoagie/sub rolls
2-4 oz parmesan cheese
8 oz sliced mozzarella cheese
baking sheet
Slice rolls, but DO NOT slice completely in half. Place 4 to 6 meatballs in each roll, add lots of sauce, sprinkle with Parmesan and top with slices of mozzarella. Place on baking sheet, cheese side up and bake at 375° for 15 to 20 minutes, until cheese is melted and bread is toasty. Keep a good eye on it, they will burn quickly. Serve with lots of napkins.
NOTE: My mom has this trick of slicing out a wedge on the top of the rolls (instead of slicing them in half lengthwise) to make the pocket (see photo at top). Then they actually sit on their natural flat bottoms while baking. This has the added advantage of creating instant breadsticks from what is cut out that you can brush with olive oil and garlic and bake.
a question about silicon. Can I bake in silicon ice cube trays?
@nellcote: Interesting idea. The silicone itself should be unaffected, assuming the trays are 100% silicone and not simply silicone coated rubber or somesuch. How what you intend to bake would behave in such small portions is another question.
Have a link to a really good meatball recipe that I'll share when I get home tonight. It went over really well at work when I made it.
I make meatloaf and bake it in muffin tins because everyone in my family likes the crunchy bits. Then what ever is left over can be thrown into spaghetti sauce for meat balls or sliced into sandwiches to serve on potato rolls.
We make and freeze a bunch of pesto. One of the ways we use it is in turkey meatballs. My wife started stuffing them with cubes of mozzarella and me likey very much.
This is a great classic meatball recipe. I generally make my version also taking advantage of buying by volume and freezing. My recipe excludes ordinary American beef since it usually has been contaminated with growth hormones and other carcinogens. Instead, our family either uses organic beef, which is usually too expensive or a bison/pork combo, which is my go to for flavor. Here's the recipe (which allows for variation, of course):
Bison-Pork Meatballs
1 lb ground bison meat
1 lb ground pork
1 slice of bread (challah, baguette, even multigrain but without crust and soaked in milk or buttermilk)
1 small onion, chopped fine
½ cup milk (see bread above)
1 egg
3 tbsp grated Parmegianno
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
1 Tb crushed garlic
½ tsp oregano
½ tsp smoked (Spanish) paprika
baking sheet oiled with EVOO
Squeeze out milk from bread. Mix all ingredients together and mix well. I agree withe rest of your procedure. "You're going make 1 ½ inch balls. The easiest way to do this is to use a cookie/muffin scoop" (except I usually form by hand). Place on the oiled baking sheet and bake at 350° for 10 minutes (for me; I like them firm but still a little soft so that the sauce gets into them more).
Your sauce is the classic and I wouldn't much change it except that I usually add a little red wine (i/2 cup) and some chile pepper flakes to brighten the sauce (1/2 Tsp).
For those not familiar with bison, it is usually grassfed and is lean so needs the ground pork to give it a bit more fat to make it meatball-yummy. It is not at all gamey and is perfectly fine by itself (e.g. fillets) if you cook it only up to medium rare.
Reuben meatballs
Ground beef
Ground pork
Finely chopped Corned beef.
Saurkraut, strained
Swiss cheese, shredded (we use pepper jack)
Carroway seeds
Bread crumbs
Mix and bake. Heavenly.
I don't have the proportions, because my wife is the cook. It's readily available on line.
I don't have the exact recipe at hand – I think my sister does – but my mom made meatballs similar to these, but using caraway seeds instead of fennel. Very, very good.
Rather an odd time to introduce meatball recipes given news out of Europe.
On the other hand I guess there is never a wrong time to repeat the advice: "Source locally" and "know your butcher".
Because I might have questions on both fronts when told my meatballs came out of the freezer. Not because I am finicky but because explaining such things to younger nieces can lead to awkward moments if provenence isn't solid.
@Anne Laurie: Having spent a good bit of time working in the Middle East both falafel (or fil-fil as pronounced there) and kibbeh are delicious.
Egyptian "Ta'amiya" is the great mid-morning (actually anytime) sandwich snack.
Procedure: Warm a pita pocket that's been sliced open (not entirely, just halfway). Take one half of the pita bread and slather 1 tb of hummus over it (can be flavored hummus- in Cairo often garlic flavored). Arrange 2-3 thinly sliced cucumber and tomato slices on the bread and sprinkle some salt and white pepper powder on them. Place the Ta'amiya (i.e. the fried falafel balls) over it. Now, drizzle about 1 tsp tahini all over this (shops use squirt bottles) and cover with the other half of the pita bread. Then eat while warm. It is soooooo good.
Oh, thank you thank you for this thread! I've been making various kinds of meatballs for years, but have never yet found the perfect meatball that I crave.
I'm trying jeffreyw's recipe–it sounds exactly right.
@lojasmo: I would think you would need at least two eggs to accommodate the sauerkraut but sounds worth trying. Thanks for the tip. Given the ingredients, I assume these meatballs are pretty salty, right?
Meatball subs. The ideal meal. What gorgeous, delectable photos!
Gawd, I'm hungry.
I just made lasagna. I thought that was good.
This looks SO much better!
@nellcote: I know you can use them in microwaves so probably okay in relatively moderate oven (say up to 350 degrees). I personally wouldn't use them for baking but that's just me.
Here it is, Friday night, and all you guys are doing is sitting around here talking about your balls.
@Carnacki: Brilliant idea. May I steal it?
One of the times we were in Sweden we visited the upcountry during the off season. The town our hotel was in was mostly shut down and our dinner options were the hotel restaurant or the one other option, a Chinese restaurant, which on inspection had people in it as opposed to the dead hotel restaurant.
Chinese restaurants always adopt local tastes and then try to convince you that they are exotic. One specialty in this place was sweet and sour Swedish meatballs. They also did things with reindeer meet.
It wasn't bad for a place in the middle of nowhere though I feel bad for the locals who think they know Chinese food.
The fiance and I love these Veggieballs pan fried in the cast iron on medium high. I am so going to try them as grinders with haloumi next time.
Oh yeah, I also replace the ricotta with small curd cottage cheese. It's amazing with much less fat
Ok. There's probably only so far you are going to go with this……….
My tummy is growling.
I've been doing this 'meatless weekend' thing for a while now, but that photo is giving me the kind of longing that one feels for his youth.
Don't tell any Scotsman this, but you can make Lorne Sausage spiced meatballs (sorta healthy).
– 1lb 80% lean ground beef
– 1 pack silken tofu
– 1 tsp garlic powder
– 1 tsp nutmeg
– 1 tsp mace
– 1 tsp black pepper
– 1 tbsp salt
– 1 cup fine bread crumbs
Mix the beef, bread crumbs and the spices well. Whip the silken tofu and then mix it in with the beef mixture. Form into meatballs and broil on high for 15 minutes. The meatballs you get from this are light and airy – almost like beef puffs.
They are amazingly good with HP sauce for dipping. For anyone unfamiliar with brit condiments, HP sauce is what real steak sauce should be.
And that Reuben meatballs someone posted upthread – I am so going to try that – it sounds downright droolworthy.
I make meatballs very similar to Jeffrey's. But I often stuff mine with fresh mozzarella pearls. I make a bunch of them and freeze them for raw for other meals. So spaghetti and meatballs, sliders and sometimes I'll slice a few for a pizza. Sometimes I add some to a minestrone with the Italian sausage, pepperoni, veggies, pasta, broth etc. I call that one "Manistroni" because it really really sticks to your ribs.
Made with chicken or ground turkey you can make an albondingas soup or as an appetizer with an almond/pepper sauce. I think pretty much every culture has a meatball in it.
They certainly require no added salt.
I make meatloaf and bake it in muffin tins because everyone in my family likes the crunchy bits. Then what ever is left over can be thrown into spaghetti sauce for meat balls or sliced into sandwiches to serve on potato rolls.
And that is thinking outside of the loaf pan – thanks for the tip
Was recently given Ottolenghi and Tamimi's Jersualem cookbook.
My former pro-chef wife and I have been working through it, and there are a bunch of really lovely meatball recipes there. Favorite so far "lamb with barberries, yogurt and herbs."
That said, I'm heading for the lemony leek ones next.
And while we don't make traditional meatballs that often, we do construct burgers out of a mixture that also does well in the smaller form factor: a mixture of equal parts ground beef, veal and lamb with a bunch of other stuff thrown in (varies depending on whats at hand). If the market doesn't have ground veal (which it doesn't every time) a 50-50 lamb – 85% ground beef mixture is just fine.
I'm picking up a likeness of Jesus in that meatball to the left. Or it could be Elvis before he got fat.
As promised. Devilishly tasty.
@Arm The Homeless: Thank you! These are exactly what I was looking for and can't wait to try them. Grazie.
To everyone else, thanks for showing up and sharing your ideas. That's the whole reason I do this.
Y'all, these meatballs are sooo good.
Next time I make them, I'll add in an egg, though. They were a little mushy. But I still nommed on the leftovers for days.
@nellcote: Probably, but I wouldn't do meatballs in them, or muffin tins, either. You wind up braising the meat in its own juices and fat.
Wait…that sounds kinda good. Carry on.
@mainmati: Of course.
Tuna balls! from Jamie Oliver – he uses 14 oz fresh tuna steak, which he cuts in cubes, and sautes in olive oil and then squishes to a pulp, but we don't see fresh tuna steak very often and it's expensive. Tinned tuna works okay
2 tins tuna in spring water
2 oz pine nuts
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp dry oregano
salt and pepper
handful flat-leaf parsley chopped fine
3 1/2 oz breadcrumbs
2 oz grated fresh parmesan
2 eggs, beaten
zest and juice of a lemon
Lightly toast the pine nuts – then throw everything in a bowl and mix it all up. Make individual tuna balls; if you dip one hand in cold water every few balls, you'll get a nice smooth surface. Place on an oiled tray and put in the fridge for an hour. Then add to a frying pan with olive oil and jiggle till they're golden brown. Serve with homemade tomato sauce and pasta.
Bob Dylan's meatballs are the best I've ever made.
This stuff will kill you, and the environment.
Take a look around.
meatball doesn't work that way
@Tom Levenson: I made the lemony leek ones recently and they were terrific. Enjoy!
@Karma Gyurme: In the end, we're all dead anyway.
"Rather an odd time to introduce meatball recipes given news out of Europe."
Hey, meatballs are the perfect austerity recipe. Or…uh…is there some other news out of Europe that hasn't made it into Paul Krugman's blog. Oh, wait a minute…
