The "Briarfields" has always been under scrutiny, noted for abuse towards residents and staff. The food served resembles garbage, the care is sublime, the amount of staff is often short-handed and poorly managed. The current corporation running this place in Boardman should be thoroughly investigated for their business practices.This facility should be shut down.No matter how much they to refurbish that dump, it will remain a terrible place to be. All of Briarfield facilities are the same way. Is this a surprise to the community? It's been going on for years!

This sort of activity has been going on for years and years, no matter what the celebration in school may be. Sometimes supplied by parents (which of course, is STUPID),or the kids will find a ways and means to get their "hooch" and will continue no matter how much the "community" will be involved and try to "solve the problem".It's been this way for as long as I can remember.

Hey! Obama! What about the rest of us who has lost a job due to corporate downsizing, been out of work for almost a year or more? Applications filled out, resumes sent in, no response from prospective employers. I for one am very glad to see our troops are finally coming home and wish them all the best in recooperating from a $ wasteful war, but what about the rest of us? Forget us? Maybe we'll forget about you, too, come election time.

Nadler, on surrogate duty, says Romney was practicing private equity 'wrong' and 'with little conscience'
According to Representative Jerry Nadler, Democrats who are alarmed by the Obama campaign's attacks on private equity are "misunderstanding" the message.
"I don't think the campaign is attacking private equity per se," Nadler said this afternoon, at a press conference at a local office of the United Auto Workers. "Private equity is a great business that very often rescues companies, restructures themand saves jobs.
Story Continued Below
"What the campaign is saying is that private equity can also be used by people with little conscience to destroy companies, to take value out of those companies, make profits for a few people and destroy lots of jobs. Mitt Romney as head of Bain did that."
Nadler was appearing alongside the outgoing chair of the state party, Jay Jacobs, and Julie Kushner, a regional director of the U.A.W., in a press conference timed to coincide with Romney's latest fund-raising swing through the city.
The message was a little muddled, in that Kushner talked mostly about the auto bailout, while Nadler and Jacobs did their best to thread the needle presented to them by the Obama campaign, which is to attack Romney's record at Bain Capital, one of the more respected companies in private equity, without attacking the private-equity industry itself.
The idea is to discount Romney's claims on job creation, by stressing that his record at Bain wasn't about creating jobs.
"That was not his mission," Jacobs said. "As such, he needed to practice a very ruthless form of business. I'm not characterizing it as good or bad, but it's just a different type of business than needs to be done if you want to be President of the United States. As president, you don't have the luxury to be ruthless. Your constituency is everybody in America."
Nadler cited the example of GST Steel, one of the companies featured in the campaign's anti-Bain ads, as an example of Romney practicing private equity savagely, by saddling a company with debt while paying dividends to themselves.
"Most private-equity people do a fine job and help the economy and take fair profits," Nadler said. "What the campaign is saying is not that there's anything against private equity when done right. It's against some people who do it wrong, like Mitt Romney."

NATICK, Mass.— Foster's Daily Democrat of Dover, N.H., was presented a "Publick Occurrences" award Thursday by the New England Newspaper & Press Association in recognition of outstanding journalism for its coverage of the attempted drug raid that resulted in the killing of the Greenland, N.H., police chief.
In addition, for the second year in a row, Foster's Sunday Citizen was awarded "Best Sunday Newspaper" in New England for newspapers with under 16,000 circulation.
The Publick Occurrences award included recognition not only of the newspaper's coverage of the breaking news of the incident in Greenland, but also for the following two weeks of news coverage related to the event, the investigation, and stories leading up to the police chief's funeral.
Judges cited Foster's coverage of the drug raid and killing of the police chief as "amazing" coverage of breaking news. They said the aftermath coverage by Foster's reporters "gave the community a clear and concise report of a complicated situation with a supplement of an outstanding array of photographs."
Overall, 12 other New England daily newspapers were presented the Publick Occurrences award, including the Nashua Telegraph and Lebanon Valley News in New Hampshire.
Foster's Executive Editor Rodney G. Doherty accepted the awards on behalf of the newspaper.
Doherty noted both awards — for the news coverage and Sunday paper — are the result of a "complete staff effort" by the news department.
"The shootout that killed Greenland Police Chief Maloney was a traumatic event of the kind none of our fairly new reporters had never encountered, but they responded as seasoned pros," Doherty said. "Our news photographers were quick on the scene and managed to be in the right place at the right time to record the event. In the newsroom all other reporters and editors participated in supporting in various ways through the night to put out a complete record of the tragedy. This effort continued over the following days of intense coverage leading to the funeral of the chief. I am very pleased the NENPA organization gave recognition to the thorough and respectful job the Foster's staff presented covering this event."
Patrice Foster, president and publisher of Geo. J. Foster & Co., Inc., Company, was present at the award ceremony and added her praise to the dedicated work of the news staff ... not only for the news coverage and Sunday award, but for the way the news staff serves the community of readers of Foster's Daily Democrat and fosters.com.
"I want to pass along my compliments for what everyone in the newsroom accomplished in covering the tragic event in Greenland, for the consistent work to bring the best we can in a Sunday newspaper to our readers," Foster said. "I'm very proud of what we can accomplish."

MunsonWorks (www.munsonworks.com) specializes in custom design, fabrication, installation, and service of residential trams and outdoor living spaces. MunsonWorks creates an effortless transition from hiking to riding with focus on outdoor residential lifts. Because these trams carry people, they must be constructed of the highest quality components.
A high efficiency gearmotor powers the main drive shaft to which the drum is mounted. The cables are laid onto a drum with a level winding device to assure the cable wraps smoothly and eliminates the possibility of cable-to-cable contact. Sumitomo Drive Technologies provides the reliable and smooth driving gearmotors that meet MunsonWork's expectations.
"When I started a new business designing, manufacturing and installing inclined elevators, I knew I needed a robust motor with a service factor capable of handling an application involving the transportation of people up and down steep hillsides and rugged terrain…I was sold on the reliability of Sumitomo gearmotors," said Eric Munson, President of MunsonWorks. "I knew that if I were going to manufacture a high-end tram, I would need one of the best motors available to drive it."
The main drive motor for one of the tram applications is a Cyclo® BBB washdown unit with Steel-It paint (Keyed hollow bore, 5HP with fail-safe brake, 88:1 ratio, 19.9 RPM output). The Cyclo BBB is ideal for this particular application because of its backlash free torque transmission and resistance to fretting and corrosion.
The overspeed reducer is a Hyponic Drive® with universal mounting options, grease lubrication, hollow bore (1.25"), 10:1 Ratio, 175 RPM output. The 2.0 service factor and shock overload protection of over 300% satisfies MunsonWork's concern for life-safety issues.
"My whole manufacturing philosophy is always based on the sum of the parts exceeding the whole. With a Sumitomo motor driving our elevators we know the whole tram will meet and exceed our clients' expectations," said Munson.
For more information on Cyclo BBB or Hyponic Drives, please contact Sumitomo Drive Technologies at 1-800-SM-CYCLO or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Barzilai ER May Be Built Beneath Graves
Although Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided last month to build a missile-resistant emergency room on the originally proposed site at the Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, despite the presence of ancient graves, the director general of the Prime Minister's Office, Eyal Gabai, is reportedly considering a new proposal to build the emergency room underground, beneath the graves.
The new approach, promoted by MK Moshe Gafni (United Torah Judaism ), was reported by the ultra-Orthodox weekly "Bakehila" ("In the Community" ) as an alternative to relocating the graves.
Rabbi Ya'akov Rozha, a member of the Chief Rabbinical Council and the rabbi for the Zaka emergency rescue and recovery organization, said the technology exists. Proponents of the idea also suggested to Gabai that the underground emergency room would be less expensive to build.
The Prime Minister's Office said in response: "In the context of the process of advancing the missile-resistant emergency room at Barzilai hospital in Ashkelon, the director general of the [Prime Minister's] Office and those planning the emergency room also met with a team of rabbis who presented the proposal that the emergency room be built below the layer of the graves. Despite the engineering difficulties the proposal raises, it was explored in detail last week by professionals at the Health Ministry. [Their] response is expected soon."
When asked by Haaretz if the new proposal would delay construction, Netanyahu's office said every effort will be made to assure that the prime minister's instructions to build the emergency room "in its original location, without risking lives and without delaying the time frame" are carried out.

Veteran's Parade is This Saturday at 10 a.m. in Quincy
It is hard to believe but this Saturday the 6th Annual Veteran's Parade will be held in Quincy with nearly 80 entries ready to go down Maine Street beginning at 10am. I remember meeting with the parade chairmen Jim Ponsot and Dick McKinney five years ago to discuss putting on the first parade. We had no idea how many entries we would have but to see it nearing 80 this year is fabulous.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in California
Why cant a felon be summoned for jury duty service? Even though they can vote.
3 Answers from Attorneys
Felons can not vote.
I think felons can vote in California if off parole. If eligible to vote and registered to vote, they could be called to jury service as far as I know. I've heard it said (I'm not sure) that the jury pool may also be pulled from other databases such as the DMV. So, I think some people with a felony conviction could be called for jury duty while some may be deprived of this pleasure.
If someone with a felony conviction were summoned to jury service, the conviction would be quickly revealed by honest answers to questioning, therefore, that person may be quickly dismissed from a potential panel. So, even if called, that person is unlikely to be seated on a jury ... same likely fate as with a lawyer-potential-juror.
It is called felony disenfranchisement. Each state is different. In California, voting rights are restored automatically after release from prison and discharge from parole (probationers may vote).
Felons are disqualified from serving as jurors pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 203. The people of this state don't want juries comprised of convicted felons.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Jets and Patriots played an ugly game all night, and then things got really ugly.
The teams got into a fight with 38 seconds left in the game after Patriots cornerback Aqib Talib intercepted Jets quarterback Geno Smith. Center Nick Mangold hit Talib out of bounds in the legs, drawing the ire of Patriots coach Bill Belichick and sparking a fight that would lead to Jets offensive linemen D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Willie Colon being ejected. It appeared Colon pushed an official. Both will likely be fined.
Mangold said he was just trying to make a tackle and did not think Talib was out of bounds. Then, he heard Belichick screaming at him.
"He got heated about it," Mangold said. "I was surprised by that. I thought he'd have more poise."
Jets coach Rex Ryan joked the Jets must have been the only ones in the fight since no Patriots were ejected. The Pats felt that Mangold's hit was dirty.
"Since it was the Jets, it was dirty," Patriots lineman Logan Mankins said.

Our family used to go to To Chau for pho, but the lines were never worth the wait considering how many other good pho places we have in Honolulu. Pho Huong Lan in the Cultural Plaza, just a five minute walk from To Chau offers just as wonderful – if not better pho.
The longest we ever had to wait here was ten minutes and that was only on two occasions. It's one of the "cleaner" chinatown places and service is efficent with a smile. Even when it's completely full, the ambiance is always calm and relaxed. Run by a local family for many years, it's comforting to see some consistency/history is a world that, on occasion, seems to change too fast for me.
There's a menu, but everyone in our family sticks to the pho. Today I had the pho with slices of raw beef, beef balls and tendon (mmm, I love tendon!) They give a fair amount of veggies – ngo gai, bean sprouts, basil, peppers, lime and basil. The vibrantly colored vegetables are very fresh and inviting – they seem to beg, "eat me in all my fresh glory!"
I'm a firm believer that Huong Lan offers the clearest pho broth in town. Light and clean tasting, you can finish the whole bowl without that dehydrated, msg overload feeling. The soup is slightly beefy in flavor with a distinctive hint of anise. Just wonderful :) The tendon with addicting, perfectly balanced between crunchy and chewy, a pull that surrenders to a determined bite. I asked for the beef to be served raw on the side which allows one to see the quality of the meat. The generous serving of soft noodles are are waddled together at the bottom of the bowl, just waiting for you to unravel them into a spoonful completed by the savory, comforting broth.

During our unfortunate dealings with Bekins, our concerns became not just for ourselves, but for those that do not have the benefit or knowledge on how to challenge such unscrupulous dealings. A simple review on the internet offers numerous complaints and suits. Consumers that seek endorsement are looking for security and trustworthiness, especially during life altering transitional events. By way of any endorsement of Bekins one would be "trustingly leading the prey to the predators".

The worst military move ever!! Substandard customer service to deceptive business practice to a turely last minute notice for delivery. I never had this kind of worst customer service during my 18 years of service to our country. Every time I transferred, I had pretty good moving companies with pleasurable experiences. Mr. Mike Chandler asked me if I wanted the update on the status and he promised to call me back at noon time in Arizona time, perhaps he did not know that we had three hours time difference and but he did not call me back, ergo, I missed my lunch time. I called back, he was conveniently in the meetings. What really bothered me was his attitude, he did not have same sense of urgency nor the compassion towards my need. My son is on his mattress because his bed is in Ohio since they cannot seem to find a driver. I do not want my son to go through this because this move was not by his choice but my obligation to the military. If they are in distribution business, they should be able to find a way to accomodate people's need, even if they cannot, they should not make any empty promises or have a deceptive business practice. Mike Chandler perhaps needs to take a business relations 101 to enhance his customer service skills.

This is our second time moving with Wheaton Van lines,
both times cross country and both times we were very
satisfied. Wayne, our driver was very helpful and went
above and beyond our expectations. Wheaton is a
professional and competitively priced company to use. I
wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them
to friends and family.

We used Wheaton to relocate us from Florida to California. They were the most professional, reliable, careful and economical moving company we've ever used. We had 6 different meetings or appointments with Wheaton personnel and all 6 showed up on time and prepared. Amazing. Our goods arrived in California on time and in perfect condition. The driver was a pro, as was everyone at Wheaton. Surprisingly, they were also very competitive on pricing. A first class company and team!

My grandmother recently moved from South Bend, Indiana to St. Augustine, Florida. Not your typical move for someone of her age. Wheaton did an excellent job. The movers were on time, courteous, and answered all of our questions. It was a great experience and we would not hesitate to recommend Wheaton.

Since my sister and very best friend in the world announced she was expecting her first child nine months ago, I had mixed emotions of excitement and sadness. Excited for the precious addition that would be joining our family, but sad knowing I would more than likely miss the birth, as it takes more than a quick car ride to get from Shallotte to Indianapolis.
OCEAN ISLE BEACH—His name can be seen on buildings and landmarks across the county. His contributions will benefit generations to come. His legacy will live on indefinitely.

When one hears '"The Actors", one is most likely to think of a group of performers taking part in a stage play. To Kittitians "The Actors" is a group of acrobats engaged in a series of daring somersaults over a large upturned garden fork. To complete this act, a big stone is placed on the chest of one of the acrobats and is broken with a sledge hammer.
This 17 member group, the St Peter's Actors like so many other groups of actors comes out of the Parish of St Peter's were this traditional folk dance is believed to have originated. It is said that the slaves working in this area, under the rule of the then French Governor, Du Poincy, performed these daring stunts to his delight and that of his guests.
The "big drum band" comprising of a kettle drum, a bass drum and fife provides musical accompaniment.
More commonly referred to as St Kitts, the island of St Christopher has a rich legacy of folk traditions. The language, culinary habits, artistic and recreational pursuits of the large masses of the people might not have had the attention of historians as have the settlement and exploits of the conquerors, but they nevertheless remain a testimony to the creativity, adaptability and endurance of the people of this tiny island.
Along with the Mock Jumby, Masquerades, Mummies and the Bull, to name a few of our traditional folklore groups, the Clowns are part of our folk culture that finds expression at Christmas time in a festival that has been celebrated for hundreds of years. We, in St Kitts, still celebrate what we now term Carnival in December, a series of competitions, shows, and street activities that culminates on New Year's Day when street parades and performances climax in a grand finale. Although Carnival now incorporates masked bands costumed to depict themes universal and local, the true essence of the Kittitian celebration manifests itself in our traditional folklore groups who perform on the street as they have for generations.
The Clown troupe is a somewhat unique phenomena in the English speaking Caribbean and is thought to be a legacy of the renowned French Governor Lonvillier de Poincy, a gentleman who ruled French interests in the Caribbean in the 17th Century and who resided in his Chateau in the hills overlooking Basseterre. It was there he held court and the magnificence of his hospitality and the entertainment he provided were celebrated by visitors to the island.
The characteristic costume of the European court jester is transformed in the Kittitian Clown into a beautiful flowing suit, bellowing as the several dancers execute a series of intricate movements. Performed by the descendants of African slaves who make up vast majority of the population of the island, the sinuous and harmonious body movement of the dancers blend with the String Band rhythms, the musical accompaniment for this particular troupe and the elegance and grace as the dancers as they serpentine behind and between each other is a spectacle to behold. The pink wiremess mask worn as part of the costume, hiding the face of the performer, apparently depicts the European, and is a feature of almost all the local folk dance characters. The sounds of bells and the crack of the Hunter, a leather whip carried by each performer, punctuates the rhythms of the String Band, binding closer the dancers to the musicians.
Early in the century, this troupe began to take on shades of North American culture with the inclusion of Cake Walk and Japanese Girl characters. Performed mainly by men, the groups might have forty (40) to fifty (50) members, some Kittitians remembering times when there were groups eighty (80) strong. There was even a time when little boys longed to get a gift of a clown suit so as to identify with the splendor of he troupes at Christmas time. Men migrating to North America and England took their culture with them and clown troupes have paraded at Labour Day parades in New York, CARIBANA in Toronto and Nottinghill in London.
Somewhere in the early 1920's emerged a comic script, which from all accounts, was an exaggeration of an incident said to have taken place on one of the countryside sugar estates on St. Kitts known as Belmont. This plantation was owned by an Englishman,
Arthur Davis, now deceased, who was brother of one of the early Basseterre Sugar Factory managers, also deceased, and known as Basil Davis. The older heads tell that Arthur Davis had procured a stud bull for the estate in a young steer, but as it developed he engaged some estate hands to look after it. It so happened that the animal also developed in fierceness and as it made to gore one of the herdsmen, he stabbed it. The bull fell down and thinking it was dead, he reported to Mr. Davis, and he brought in a veterinary surgeon who treated it and it survived.
The play which follows shows the extent to which the matter was stretched, and continues today to be one of the surviving relics of former Christmas street entertainment. The cast is made up of eight players as follows: Bull, Arthur Davis, Sweetie, Oak, Sifter, Dr. Pick-Me-Heel, Backanash the Dog and a Police Sergeant. Musical accompaniment is provided from tambourine, chopping reel, bar-horn, triangle, shackpan, and bamboo fife.
The person playing the bull is usually attired in a bright red suit, and on his head he wears a pair of dangerous-looking cattle horns fitted into a removable headgear, which is also attached to a wire-mesh mask in the shape of an ox's head. The waistline of this performer is expected to be of a flexible nature in order to portray the gyrations of a sex-crazed animal as he swings his stiffened tail on his backside.
Stilt walker or Moko-Jumbies as they are called locally, have been passed on from African mythology, particularly in the Ghana area. It is believed that this custom made its way to our shores through the slave who were brought here.
The name Moko, though its origin is not clear, is said to be the name of the God of Vengeance while on the other hand it is believed that the word MOKO is a corruption of the word MACAW. The macaw is a very tall palm tree covered with thorns and it is felt that the Moco-Jumbies may be trying to resemble it, especially so, since their head piece is symbolic of the heart of the macaw plant when it is in bloom.
Many theories have surrounded this dance and although we may never know which is true, one cannot deny that seeing a person, dancing without fear on stilts, six to eight foot tall, provides much amusement and thrill to its onlookers.
Masquerade in St Kitts can be described as an artform created by the syncretic coming together of peoples of African and European descent over a period of 300 years.
The earliest account of the masquerade in St Kitts was reported by Alfred Williams and English historian and cultural observer. Ids eyewitness account as early as the 1890's noted that the masquerade wore feathered headdresses and leggings and carried tomahawks. Antonio Williams, an English tourist, in her diary entitled "A Tour Through the West Indies 1908 - 1909," also described the masquerade dancers she saw wearing tall peacock feathered headdresses, masks, trousers and long-sleeved shirts. Over the trousers or leggings, she described skirt-aprons that were completely fringed and reached just above the knees. She added that the entire costume was decorated with bangles, mirrors and ribbons.
Migration of people from St Kitts - Nevis during the 1920's saw the spread of the artform to other areas of the Caribbean, including Bermuda and the Dominican Republic, where it is well established today. According to Dr Vincent Cooper, the tradition seems to have been stronger in Nevis, the more aural of the two islands, and rural towns such as Cayon and Phillips' which have longstanding ties with Nevis provided the breeding ground from which the artform flourished and spread to other areas on St Kitts.
Dance experts have identified elements of European and African dance forms, which include the "Wild Dance," the Waltz, and Quadrille, the Rhumba, the Fertility Dance, the Fine Dance, the Jig and the Boillola. The Masquerade dancers are usually accompanied by a group of musicians playing a fife, a kettle drum and a big drum, and African Caribbean rhythm patterns.
As we enjoy the spectacle of colours, music and dance of the masquerade this Christmas, let us all salute the memory of Rupert Samuel for his outstanding contribution to this important aspect of our folklore.
The dance 'forms of the masquerades exemplify elements of African and European genres. The French seemed to have had a large influence, especially during the governorship of PhiIlipe de Poincy who is reputed to have hosted troupes of dancers from France at his chateau at Fountain Estate. The names of three of the six dances of the masquerades can be attributed to French origins. These are the "Quadrille", the "Fine", and the "Jig" which is said to home come from the French word "gigue".
The "Quadrille" which has its roots.-in 17th-Century France is the first dance and danced by couples to a slow, structured pace defined by the country and elegance of the various dance figures.
The "Fine" which is the second dance is decidedly faster and demands greater skill as the dancers dance on one foot towards each other meeting in the centre of the ring and performs a fertility dance which is traceable to the mating dance of Africa.
The real spectacle in dance comes when the masquerades break into a frenzy of "Wild Mas" throwing their tomahawks into the air much to the delight of onlookers.
The "Jig" introduces a new dance position where the right foot hooked behind the left foot, the dancer displays his skill with the tomahawk. This dance follows right into the "Boillola" another dance movement where the tomahawk is held between their legs while the dancers jump and clap to the music, moving from side to side.

Todd Pletcher (winning trainer of Unitarian)
"We just felt like (the race) fit timing-wise. He really improved this winter at Gulfstream. We took a shot in the Fair Grounds race (in which he was seventh in the Grade 3 Fair Grounds Handicap on Feb. 22 in his most recent start). Mike Smith rode him that day and came back and said, 'Ignore this race. He didn't handle this course at all.'
"I think he fits these kinds of races and he continues to improve like we thought he would. With a little more improvement, maybe he can step up a notch."
Javier Castellano (winning rider)
"I really liked the way the race unfolded for a come-from-behind horse. I took my time. It's a mile-and-a-half race. It's a long distance. The first two turns I saved all the ground. The way the race developed worked out great for me. My horse gave me a good run the last part of the race. When he saw the daylight turning for home, he took off."
Alan Garcia (rider of runner-up War Dancer)
"It was a beautiful trip, got outrun. The (winning) horse got me in the last part of the race. I got outrun and that's it."
Jose Lezcano (rider of third-place finisher and beaten 4-1 favorite Temeraine)
"I got in the spot I wanted, but got a little stopped at the quarter pole. Still he ran a great race. I thought we would get up for second."

Good news for those of you who've been sitting atop a pile of unused Herman Cain jokes since he dropped out of the race last November: the former GOP contender/Godafther's Pizza CEO/United Kingdom emergency-telephone-number aficionado is momentarily back in the news today, after announcing his endorsement of Newt Gingrich in Florida Saturday night.
The former candidate officially declared his support for Gingrich in West Palm Beach last night, three days before the primary. "I had it in my heart and mind a long time," Cain said while appearing at a Republican fundraiser with Gingrich. "Speaker Gingrich is a patriot. Speaker Gingrich is not afraid of bold ideas." Cain then went on to say that Speaker Gingrich "smells like apricots" and "makes the cutest little wrinkly face while he's sleeping," leaning in close to the former House Speaker and inhaling sharply before he was politely steered away by Gingrich's aides.
After Gingrich's victory in the South Carolina primary, the former House Speaker has so far failed to achieve the same success in Florida, and the most recent state poll indicates Gingrich is trailing behind Mitt Romney by fifteen points. While the candidate is badly in need of support, some speculate that an endorsement from Cain — who famously withdrew from the election due to allegations of sexual misconduct and infidelity — could end up doing more harm than good for the thrice-married Gingrich, an admitted adulterer who recently came under fire for reports that he'd asked his ex-wife for an open marriage.
Either way, though, isn't it great to have Herman Cain back in the spotlight again? The election coverage really hasn't been the same since he bowed out. Someone please give this man his own hour-long variety special or a spot on Dancing With The Stars, stat. Just keep him away from any political office or gentlemen's club or pizza oven, because let's be honest, the man was about as good at making pizza as he was at pretending that he'd never heard the Pokemon song before.

Lindsey Wilson Tops at Inaugural Collegiate BMX Nationals
Women's Event
Of the two teams that fielded riders for the women's event, both ended up winning in different ways. Lindsey Wilson College, which had six of the race's seven riders, accumulated the most points in the event toward the overall team title, but could not put a rider across the line first in any of the event's first three motos or in the main event. That honor went to Grand Canyon University's Dominique Daniels, who didn't lose a single race during the collegiate event, and appeared to do it with ease, winning by several bike lengths in each race. This was despite the best efforts of Lindsey Wilson's Madison Pitts, who has competed at USA Cycling Collegiate Track and Mountain Bike National Championships in the past, and podiumed at the latter in 2011. In the end, Pitts took second, followed closely by Lindsey Wilson's Stephanie Caluag.
Men's Event
The men's race saw a full six teams participate, and was much closer than the women's event. In the first set of motos, the University of New Mexico's Kalvin Davis won all three rounds, handily advancing to the main event, despite a challenging field of riders from Lindsey Wilson, San Diego State, and Virginia Tech. In the second group, Lindsey Wilson's Danny Caluag won the first moto, but was beat in the next two by Cal State San Marcos' Bryce Hocking. One upset in that group was Olympic College's Joshua Klatman, a top-ranked doemestic rider, widely expected to shine in the collegiate category, who failed to advance to the main event.
In the main, despite Davis' stunning performances in the initial moto, a slow start put him behind the field and gave him only eighth place, while at the front of the field it was all Caluag, taking the victory for Lindsey Wilson College handily. Behind him was his teammate Logan Collins, with Hocking in third.
Team Omnium
After years of recruiting BMX riders to their program in Columbia, KY, Lindsey Wilson's unique strategy paid off in spades, as they won the event with a 'perfect score' of 188 points, meaning they collected the most points in both the men's and women's event. Right behind them, however, was a tie between Grand Canyon University, thanks to Daniels' win in the women's race, and San Diego State, which fielded a full three rider squad in the men's event. With second place points for each team, the tiebreaker went to the team with the highest placing for an individual rider, which went to Grand Canyon University. If either team could bring even one rider of the opposite gender to next year's event, it would easily make the difference between a tie and a decisive placing.

Dark Circles (2013)
3 July 2013 8:40 AM, PDT
Written and Directed by: Paul Soter
Featuring: Pell James, Johnathon Schaech, Jenn Foreman
After the marketing blitz of the After Dark Horrorfest films, some of which were fun and others were abysmal, the production company decided to branch out into the original content arena. These releases, done on independent-film budgets and often leaving any real lasting impact, are straight-to-dvd horror films that are more suited to screening on a lazy weekend afternoon on the Chiller channel than anything that would become someone's new favorite film. Still, I've been a fan of Johnathon Schaech since The Doom Generation, so when I saw Dark Circles sitting on the new release shelf at my local video store, I picked it up.
Following in the footsteps of other recent horror releases like Baby Blues, Dark Circles fixates on the stress and pressure put upon new parents in the aftermath of an addition to the family. »

Mount Sinai Clinical Staff and Employees Coordinate To Assist in Evacuation of Patients from Bellevue and NYU Langone
The Mount Sinai Medical Center operates above capacity and is anticipating that it may take weeks before the number of inpatients drops to regular levels after superstorm Sandy.
A week after so-called Superstorm Sandy devastated the New York City area, the Mount Sinai Medical Center continues to operate above capacity and is anticipating that it may take weeks before the number of inpatients drops to regular levels.
"As one of the largest hospitals in New York City, we usually operate at approximately 95 percent capacity," said Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center. "But with this crisis, we have taken care of many additional patients, including those with serious and complex conditions." Mount Sinai also activated its emergency command center and staffed it with 70 people that rotated shifts during the week, Dr. Davis added.
During the storm and its aftermath, Mount Sinai received over 100 patients from area hospitals that had power outages and damage during the storm. Immediately after Hurricane Irene in 2011, the hospital received 36 patients who were evacuated from NYU Langone Medical Center, making Sandy the institution's largest disaster-relief effort.
"Our entire staff served heroically during and after the worst storm New York City has ever seen," said Erin DuPree, MD, Chief Medical Officer of The Mount Sinai Medical Center. "Physicians, nurses, support and ancillary staff all worked side-by-side to handle the tremendous influx of patients."
Throughout Hurricane Sandy, the Nursing Department provided care for all patients. "Many RNs came to work on Sunday planning to stay for the duration of the storm," said Carol Porter, DNP, RN, Chief Nursing Officer and Senior Vice President of The Mount Sinai Medical Center. "Our nurses along with the entire health care team worked together and many stayed overnight." Mount Sinai is an American Nursing Association Magnet-recognized Nursing Department, and Porter is also the Edgar M. Cullman, Senior Chair of the Department of Nursing and Associate Dean of Nursing Research and Education, Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
According to Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO, The Mount Sinai Medical Center, additional staff was on duty in every area.
- The Engineering Department set up six interdisciplinary rapid-response teams on Monday, October 29, and immediately put them on alternating schedules. Mount Sinai's IT staff worked to develop extra precautions to safeguard patient records.
- Security personnel also worked in 12-hour shifts, doubled on-duty staff from 30 to 60 people per shift, and added extra shuttle bus drivers to enable employees to get to and from work after public transportation was disrupted in and around the city.
- In anticipation of the storm, on Sunday, October 28, Mount Sinai's food service department brought in 140 people who stayed on campus overnight. Ordinarily, food service staff numbers 135 people during the day.
- Facilities staff also worked around the clock to provide overnight accommodations for all staff and physicians. At any one time, there were 1,200 people sleeping at the hospital each night throughout the week.
- The admitting department worked closely with social services to appropriately and safely discharge patients and ensure that there were enough inpatient beds to meet the needs of patients who were transferred from other hospitals. On Friday, November 2, in a matter of hours, facilities also helped transform an ambulatory cancer center into an inpatient unit.
- Pharmacy staff also stayed overnight and ensured adequate supply of pharmaceuticals.
In addition, the Irving J. Selikoff Center for Occupational and Environmental Medicine at Mount Sinai is prepared to care for hurricane responders who are physically or emotionally injured in their service after Hurricane Sandy, said Philip J. Landrigan, MD, MSc, Dean for Global Health, Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine, and the Ethel H. Wise Professor of Preventive Medicine.
Throughout the crisis, Mount Sinai's Emergency Department has been open and Mount Sinai's Urgent Care Facility, located at 91st Street and Columbus Avenue, is fully staffed and accepting outpatient cases.
Mount Sinai continues to coordinate with leaders from other area hospitals, the NYC Office of Emergency Management and the Greater NY Hospital Association, to ensure that all patients receive continuous care. To that end, Mount Sinai is credentialing over 400 physicians, nurses, and respiratory therapists from NYU Langone. A lecture hall is also being identified to accommodate medical school students from NYU School of Medicine.
Due to a power failure on Monday, October 29, NYU Langone was forced to evacuate its patients, 70 of whom were taken to Mount Sinai. On Wednesday, power failed at Bellevue, sending an additional 37 patients to Mount Sinai overnight. All patients were immediately cared for, including two women from NYU Langone who delivered babies once they arrived at Mount Sinai.
Contact numbers for the Selikoff Center: Manhattan 212-241-5555 and Yonkers 914-964-4737.

LOS ANGELES, March 20 (UPI) -- Alexis Bledel publicist says the U.S. actress is engaged to marry actor Vincent Kartheiser after dating him for about a year.
Bledel's representative confirmed the happy news to UsMagazine.com Wednesday.

Vans issues two more styles that hearken back to the brand's early days. These aren't the eye-catching patterns we've seen from the Van Doren Series, but rather, a couple of 1970s-style two-toned colorups that combine canvas and suede on the appropriately named/chosen Vans Old Skool Vintage. These forest green/tan and blue/brown makeups have a classic appeal that's still relevant because it's so easy to wear and you can see up-close shots on both before buying at retailers like The General.

Swap your displays CCFL with LEDs
Subject: Displays | May 31, 2011 - 12:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: hack, mod, ccfl, led, repair
Over at Hack a Day is a video and project log of an industrious fellow whose digital picture frame backlight bit the biscuit. Instead of buying a new one he removed the dead CCFL and replaced it with a six dollar LED strip instead of an expensive inverter or lamp for the CCFL. The project is not easy, especially if you wish to attempt this on a full sized monitor but there are tips and tricks that should help you on your way in the full post.
"[Fileark] had the backlight on his digital picture frame go out one day. These are generally Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps which require an inverter to source the voltage necessary for proper operation. When they stop working, the inverter is usually to blame. Since that circuit is made up of pretty small surface mount circuitry, he decided to replace the backlight with LEDs rather than repair the inverter."

The Mobile Monitor Field Monitor Pro is a reverse tablet

The Mobile Monitor Field Monitor Pro is a 15.4", 1280x800 monitor with a stand that sports a numpad. Intended for use with a laptop via USB and DisplayPort it gives you extra viewing area when you are on the go, as well as the numpad that most laptops lack. Tweaktown tried it out in a variety of ways, discovering that it is not really for gaming or movie watching but more for those working with their laptop who need more space for spreadsheets and other productivity software. If a couple of extra pounds sounds like a cheap price to pay for more screen area
"With the introduction of the laptop, the mobile office was created. You could take your show on the road and get some serious work done. Of course, you still had some limitations. Even today you have limitations; unless you want to carry around a laptop that weighs 10-15 pounds you are stuck with a small screen size.
Fortunately, you do not have to buy a gigantic laptop or one with an extended screen that will cost you an arm and a leg. Mobile Monitor Technologies has something that can help to overcome this limitation; the Field Monitor Pro."

Can you really stream uncompressed 1080p wirelessly with the brite-View Air SyncHD
Subject: Displays | May 2, 2011 - 06:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: widi, wireless, hd, 1080p, stream
Wireless video streaming is nothing new to PC Perspective, in 2010 we saw Intel's WiDi technology and Ryan was streaming 1080p Iron Man using the Galaxy GeForce GTX 460 WHDI card (aka Little Cthulhu). A new way to achieve the same results is with the brite-View Air SyncHD which Missing Remote just reviewed. Read on to see if this is worth ~$230 of your hard earned money.
"If wirelessly transmitting a Blu-ray stream (which tops out around 50mbps) is questionable, transmitting uncompressed 1080p/60 video seems downright impossible. Yet, that is exactly what brite-View claims to do with their Air SyncHD transmission kit. In a nutshell, the brite-View Air SyncHD transmission kit promises to wirelessly bridge an HDMI source device and HDMI receiving device, freeing you to place the devices anywhere within the system's wireless range. Further, the system manages to send 1080p/60 video, audio and infrared (IR) with less than one millisecond latency up to 66 feet. It sounds great on paper, but can it deliver?"

CAT6 could beat DisplayPort at its own game
Subject: General Tech, Displays | May 2, 2011 - 11:43 AM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: hdcp, cat6, gefen
Gefen is not a famous company but they are one with an interesting idea that they've just made real. They will sell you a box that can extend a HDCP compliant signal along CAT6 cable of up to 1920x 1200 resolution as far as 200'. It can send a 2560 x 1600 using a pair of CAT 6 cables, though that signal does not seem to be HDCP compliant. The only down side is the price, at $1300 this is not something you buy because it is neat, but because you really need it.
"CHATSWORTH, CA – The leader in digital connectivity announced the release of its new extender for professional computer systems using dual link DVI graphics. The DVI DL CAT-6 Extender offers a plug and play method of signal extension that guarantees a lossless video transmission with zero signal dropouts.
The next generation DVI DL CAT-6 Extender delivers uncompressed high resolution video to any remote display up to 200 feet (60m) in distance over two industry-standard CAT-6 cables. This is a substantial advantage over previous solutions, which required an add-on booster using more expensive cabling to handle distances beyond five meters. "

Introduction to the Dell U3011
The days of "Dude, you're getting a Dell" might be long gone but when you are talking about monitors it suddenly becomes apropos again. Dell has been making good quality, large size monitors for long enough to be recognized as a major player in the field and the 30" Dell U3011 is a perfect example of why. Anyone who has seen a true 16:10, 2560x1600 display has probably had the temptation to tell a smug owner of a 50"+ 1080p LCD TV that their computer monitor goes up to 1600p. That jump in resolution has far more effect on your enjoyment than slapping on 3D glasses to watch golf with golfball sized pixels.
This particular display is a CCFL backlit H-IPS TFT, using an LG LM300WQ5 panel and does indeed have a full 30" viewing area, the actual monitor is over 32" horizontally with the bezel included, something to keep in mind if you plan on using multiple displays. With that great size comes some difficulties, while nowhere near the weigh of a large sized CRT the over 20lbs of the U3011 can make removing it from the box and positioning it interesting to say the least. Also something to keep in mind is that according to Dell, in regular use this monitor draws 110W and can pull up to 250W when USB drives are in use and you've bought and installed a Dell Soundbar.
The ASUS PA246Q, professional quality without the price
Subject: Displays | April 11, 2011 - 06:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
If you decide on a IPS LCD as opposed to the more common TN variety, you obviously care more about proper colour replication that you do your bank account. ASUS seems to have aimed for a middle ground with their 24" 1920x1200 PA246Q ProArt IPS LCD which you can get for under $500. Could ASUS pull off the low price without sacrificing quality?
"For many discerning users, the current crop of inexpensive 24" monitors sporting TN technology don't even come close to offering the quality they are looking for. Unfortunately, stepping up to an IPS-totting panel meant shelling out well over $600 but ASUS is now offering another route. Their ProArt 24" monitor seems to offer the impossible: an IPS panel, factory calibrated settings and good response times for under $500. Is this too good to be true?"

A reasonably priced 27" gaming panel; the HP 2711x
Subject: Displays | March 31, 2011 - 01:54 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
At $350 the 27" 1920 x 1080 Hewlett Packard Pavilion 2711Xwill get you gaming on a big screen without the bill that a 30" monster will cost you. Like most TN+ panels this HP display looks gorgeous, as long as you are head on to the monitor, TN+ panels sacrifice viewing angle for price. TechReviewSource were quite impressed overall, however they warn those who are only interested in grayscale performance and multimedia features might want to look elsewhere.
"Whether you're working with multi-page documents and spreadsheets or fragging your way to glory in the latest first person shooter, it's almost always better on a big screen. Enter the HP 2711x, a slender, 27-inch monitor that delivers good color and motion performance and is eco- friendly as well. However, you don't get many extras with this model, and it has grayscale and viewing angle issues."

One pair of 3D glasses to rule them all?
Subject: Displays | March 16, 2011 - 05:27 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
As their name implies the XPAND X103 Universal 3D Glasses are intended to work with any active shutter 3D displays, saving you from purchasing multiple pairs. MissingRemote couldn't pass up the chance to test this, especially as they have access to several 3D enabled displays from different vendors. Seeing as the price of the glasses is in line with other single use styles, if the compatibility claims are correct you will save yourself some money down the road. As it turns out, with a little calibration work, they do indeed live up to their name.
"This wouldn't be so bad if the glasses were inexpensive, but with glasses costing over $100 each, not too many consumers are going to be stockpiling glasses for a rare group viewing. Furthermore, those 3D glasses might be worthless if a 2nd 3D display or replacement 3D display is purchased from another manufacturer. This is where XPAND steps in and attempts to alleviate the problem with their line of universal 3D glasses. Today, we'll be taking a look at the XPAND X103 universal 3D glasses."

The new 30" king - NEC's PA301w LCD
Subject: Displays | March 1, 2011 - 02:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
The NEC PA301w is a new choice for those looking to game on a 30" screen at 2560 x 1600 with a 10-bit P-IPS type LCD.
While it does have some unique features like inbuilt support for the X-Rite i1D2 colorimeter and a built-in KVM USB switch but it lacks other features you might expect such as an HDMI in. In the end AnandTech proclaimed it "the best 30-inch display - heck, monitor in general - that I've tested yet. If you can stomach the $2,300 price tag."

"The Amazing Race" is, in my opinion, one of the finest shows to come to television in ages. The series, which is an almost unimaginable feat of logistics and organization, has a pack of 11 2-person teams (friends, family, co-workers, etc) in a race across the world. There are no retakes, and the show shows events in real time as the racers hit various sites across different continents, attempting to solve clues and tasks that will allow them to proceed onto their next "pit stop", where they will rest for 12 hours before heading out into the world once again. The last team to arrive at the pit stop is elimated, although there are a pre-determined number of "non-elimination" legs that are randomly placed throughout the race.
The teams get a certain amount of money for each leg of the race, and aside from airfare (which is covered), it's up to them to save or spend it in the way that they see fit. Getting into the wrong cab can waste valuable minutes or get them completely lost. Every airport visit has to be spent looking for the best option, as an earlier flight than the remaining teams could mean a large lead. The team that gets across the finish line first goes home with $1,000,000.
This first season shows how it all began, as the racers hadn't seen any prior seasons in order to try and gain tips or tricks - they were fresh and unprepared for what the producers had in front of them. With a start in New York City, the teams then head to Zambia, France, Tunisia, Italy, India, Thailand, China and Alaska before coming back to New York City for a very enjoyable finale. As with seasons since, the teams encounter different cultures, deal with slow cabs and airport choices (in one instance, they come upon an airport strike), as well as other unexpected obstacles.
The contestants are an engaging and enjoyable mixture of personalities, lead by Drew and Kevin, fromer frat brothers who, despite obviously being good friends, enjoyed ripping into each other without mercy at every opportunity. During a bungee challenge in the first episode, one of them yells to the other, "Swing you fat bastard, swing!".
It's interesting to see how the show has evolved since this early season. Things such as how the production has gotten more easily able to handle the series (a team gets a time bonus in a couple of instances due to a production problem, which I don't remember happening in recent seasons.) Also, the tasks have gotten more complex, as well; despite being entertaining, some of the tasks that teams have to perform here seem rather basic compared to what contestants have had to do in other seasons. The amount of fast forwards (a pass that allows 1 team to jump ahead to the pit stop and skip remaining tasks on one leg only) have also been taken down, and teams seem a bit more bunched up in recent seasons (in other words, teams catching up because a place they have to visit doesn't open until a certain time) in comparison to this first season. Host Phil Keoghan is now there to greet every team when they arrive at the pit stop, as well.
The incredible thing about the series is that, despite the fact that I knew who won before I even started watching this DVD set, I found myself getting completely involved and, especially towards the end, on the edge of my seat. This first season of the show is absolutely riveting, tense television and the amazing thing is that the series has gotten better since.
The next season of "Amazing Race" starts on 9/27/05 (the same day this set arrives on store shelves), and - interestingly enough - it will be a "family edition" of the show.

13. 1-13 13 Dec 01 Race to the Finish (2)
The DVD
VIDEO: "Amazing Race" is presented by Paramount in 1.33:1 full-frame on this first season set. Image quality is superb, as the picture appeared consistently crisp and well-defined, with only a few rare instances of softness.
The presentation did not show any instances of pixelation or edge enhancement, and only a few minor moments of shimmer were seen. Colors were bright, natural and well-saturated, with no smearing or other faults.
SOUND: The stereo soundtrack provides crisp, clear dialogue and environmental sounds. There seemed to be the slightest hint of distortion once or twice, but aside from that, the audio had no issues.
EXTRAS: An enjoyable feature is that, on several episodes, there are "side trips" - clicking on an icon brings up additional footage that had to be edited out of the broadcast due to length. Overall, there is 90 minutes of additional footage in all, and there's some great stuff to be found.
There are also four commentaries - "The Race Begins" has a track from Drew, Kevin, Lenny and Karyn; "Whatever It Takes to Win" has commentary from Rob and Brennan and "Team Guido" (Bill & Joe) ; "Triumph and Loss" has audio commentary from Drew, Kevin, Lenny and Karyn and finally, "Race to the Finish pt. 2" has commentary from Rob and Brennan and "Team Guido" (Bill & Joe). The commentaries are a lot of fun, as the participants share their side of some of the moments that were featured on the episodes, discuss what running the race was like in general and chat about some of the things that happened that were not shown.
Finally, on the last disc there are three additional features, starting with "The Lost Roadblock", which is an unaired challenge that had teams eating an Ostrich egg (a challenge that was shown in season 5). There's also "creating and coordinating", which discusses what the producers had to face during the first season, and some of the general discussion about how the production works as the racers go across the globe. Finally, "Reliving the Race" is a piece that has the producers, host Phil Keoghan and some of the racers discussing what it was like to run the race that first time around.
Final Thoughts: "Amazing Race" is an incredibly suspenseful series that offers comedy, drama, tension and even some touching moments. The series shows people faced with incredible challenges and finding themselves having to work together to try and overcome every obstacle. The series also provides an enjoyable and interesting look at other cultures and countries around the world, with a great look at some incredible locations. The first season DVD set provides fine audio/video quality and some informative supplements. Very highly recommended.

American and Canadian cousins. Professor Ian F Fletcher's first book, published in 1978, could be seen as the start point of academic consideration of the topic in England and Wales (Fletcher, IF. Law of Bankruptcy. Macdonald and Evans, Plymouth, 1978), although there were of course PhDs in 1965 (Cadwallader, FJJ. In pursuit of the merchant debtor and bankrupt: 1066-1732. Unpublished Ph.D. thesis. University College London, University of London. June 1965.) and 1927 (Treiman, I. A History of the English Law of Bankruptcy, with Special Reference to the Origins, Continental Sources, and Early Development of the Principal Features of the Law. University of Oxford. Unpublished D.Phil thesis. 1927) that sprung from these shores. I have addressed the supposed dearth of English personal insolvency scholarship elsewhere.
Having in mind the more advanced position of our cousins on the other side of the Atlantic I thought it might be expedient to list here the names of some current and past American and Canadian bankruptcy (and related subject) professors, so that easier reference may be had to their work. Some of the professor are bankruptcy professors in a strict sense. Other professor have published work on bankruptcy as part of their wider work. I have already done a fairly similar exercise in relation to English insolvency professors. I have not given details of our American and Canadian colleagues' particular specialisations as in many cases this is broad and encompasses both the corporate and personal side of the subject. In no particular order, the following professors have an interest in insolvency law:
I apologise to any professors whose names I have omitted. I would be happy to address any lacunas in exchange for a visiting research fellowship at your institution - only joking! I will add your name either way. I will update this entry as and when any offers of a visiting research fellowship, I mean contact details, come in.

Good PR move I guess, lol.
Guys look on the goddam bright side for once yesterday it was Bargnani and Primo commercials and today its Drake..... thats gotta be a positive.
I remember going to a Raptors game vs Heat where they showed on the videotron on that Drake was sitting courtside. The Raptor mascot went over and they presented him with a Raptors jersey and he put it on and waved to the crowd.
Then later they showed him, the jersey was nowhere to be found.
I guess he's getting paid for this so it's worth his while..

I confess to not really understanding this. What the hell is he going to do? Does he just go around wearing Raps' gear and telling people how great they are? Is the point to sell more merchandise? I can't imagine a single person buying season tickets cause Drake is now wearing Raptors hats. Hell, I can't imaginemost people who buy season tickets having ever heard a Drake song or having more than a passing knowledge of the name.
All I know about him is that: he's Canadian; he was on some Canadian tv show; and his existence as a famous person is yet further evidence that kids and teenagers are stupid and will buy anything.

Once every three months or so I'll buy ground beef and think it's time to make some meatballs. I love throwing in the different kinds of veggies we have, especially in our quest to make things more healthy. Especially when I buy the big Costco container of fresh spinach, I see what different things I can throw it in so we can get rid of it before it goes bad.
Also, if I have them, I will throw the leftover dregs of our nacho chips for the dry ingredient. I hate to throw those things away when they are good food!
Healthier Crock-Pot Meatballs
- 2 lbs. ground beef (or turkey)
- 1/2 cup of old fashioned oats (other dry ingredient substitutes for oats: nacho chips, crackers, bread)
- 1 egg
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/4 cup carrots, chopped
- 1/4 cup bell pepper color of choice, chopped
- 2 T Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 t garlic powder
- 1 t oregano
- 1 t pepper
- 1 t oat bran (opt.)
- 1 t wheat bran (opt.)
- 1 t wheat germ (opt.)
- 1/2 t ground mustard
- dash of crushed peppers
- dash of cayenne pepper
- Ketchup or BBQ Sauce
- Combine all wet ingredients together.
- Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, and dig in with your hands to form 1-2 inch balls.
- Arrange meatballs in the slow cooker on top of each other if needed.
- Cover, and cook on high for 4.5-5 hours or on low for 6-8 hours. The longer you cook them, the more likely they are to fall apart, so watch carefully.
Oven Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place meatballs in a baking pan, and bake for 1/2 hour.
The Verdict: I love making meatballs and not meatloaf, because way more of the fat is able to drain. Don't be overwhelmed by the amount of liquid in the slow cooker. Just use tongs to carefully remove. Enjoy!!
