Mike Puma, New York Post:
Death, taxes, Derek Jeter producing in the postseason. You can remove the last component from that list.Joel Sherman, New York Post:
Jeter disappeared for the AL Division Series ... The Yankees captain had two singles in last night's 6-4 loss to the Indians in Game 4 of the ALDS, but finished the series 3-for-17 (.176) with no homers and one RBI. ...
Jeter's last chance to make a big contribution came in the sixth inning last night after the Yankees had cut Cleveland's lead to 6-2 and put runners on first and third with one out. With the Stadium buzzing, Jeter hit into a double play, all but pouring a bucket of cold water on the season.
Only adding to Jeter's offensive woes, he did not walk in the series and struck out four times. Over the final two games he hit into three double plays.
There was no such heroic moment for Jeter in this series. He was an October mess, as were the Yankees.
... by the ninth inning last night, many seats at a quiet Yankee Stadium were empty, as if a new reality had overwhelmed the old; the mystique and aura giving way to frustration and recriminations. No more champagne, just pagne.
"We earned the right to go home," Cashman said.

Chris Kyle was the most wanted man in Iraq a few short years ago and carried a bounty on his head--only to die today at a Dallas shooting range.
WFAA Dallas reports Kyle was at the range with a neighbor. The news is still unfolding, but apparently Kyle was shot point blank and his neighbor suffered wounds that also proved fatal.
Jessica Stanton at The Daily Caller dug this up:
The Empire Tribune in Stephenville, Texas reports that the suspect, Eddie Ray Routh, was captured in the town of Lancaster around 9:00 p.m. Law enforcement officials believe Routh is a "highly trained individual with military experience."
Jack Murphy at the Special Operations Forces Situation Report (SOFREP) published a post regarding the tragic murders on Saturday night, reading in part: "Chris had been volunteering his time to help Marine Corps veterans suffering from PTSD and mentoring them. Part of this process involved taking these veterans to the range where one of them snapped and killed Chris and his neighbor for reasons that remain unknown at this time. The perpetrator then stole Chris' vehicle in an attempt to escape but we have received word that the police have arrested him."
During his 10-year stint as a Navy SEAL sniper, Chris Kyle was in every major battle of the Iraq war and was so effective at killing Iraqis that they called him "The Devil Of Ramadi" while placing an $80,000 bounty on his head.
Kyle spoke last year to Gary Buiso at the NY Post about his book "American Sniper," and offered a few details about what life was like as his sniper skills grew.
With up to 225 kills, his fellow SEAL Team 3 members called him "The Legend" and picked the comic book character The Punisher as their platoon's mascot.
His first kill was a woman about to throw a hand-grenade at a group of Marines. His most distant kill was from 2,100 yards away outside Sadr City in 2008.
He saw a man leveling a rocket launcher at an Army convoy and fired a single round from his .338 Lapua Magnum rifle with its Nightforce power scope.
From that distance, Kyle had to factor in terrain, wind, elevation, vibration from the shot, and even the Coriolis effect where the rotation of the earth affects where the bullet arrives.
On that day each of these factors conspired together and Kyle hit the man before he attacked the convoy. "God blew that bullet and hit him," he told The Post.
Most recently, Kyle was the president of Craft International, a veteran operated company offering special operations training. Like many servicemembers, he left the military to preserve his marriage.
Ed. Note: RIP Chris

Anyway, apologies for the slow-down in posting, I have been a little busy pretending to clean my room but actually listening to the Pixies:
Please note: empty glasses from days before, overflowing trash, fake cigarettes for when I want to scare Sheba because she once had a dream about me smoking and it freaked her out. Hyuk hyuk hyuk.
Also, please note VERY SERIOUS BLOGGING EXPRESSION.
Some of my Junk is organized in a creepy homage to Bob Dylan. Some may even call it a SHRINE. But that would be creepy. So we do not call it that.
scans via
Anyone wanna email me a translation of the article/leave it in the comments? Because that would be lovely. ETA: I have a translation now, thanks!!
Thank you, Tommy and Vogue Paris!!
Speaking of Paris, a little rundown of outfits from couture week:
pictures via Cafe Mode and Grazia
What I wore to Dior and Armani. The usual mixing-prints-of-the-same-colors, blah. And comfy orthopedic shoes. Also this coat makes me feel like a ghost, which is quite lovely. Also I had to take off the hat to get in and out of the car.
You can kind of see the colors better here, or, Some Other Excuse For Posting This Picture Because I Sometimes Brag About Things:
What I wore to Chanel, as documented by Hanneli (who is like..the nicest person? ever? and also owns all of my dream shoes?)
Vintage sweater and shoes (both Salvation Army) and hat (gift); Hussein Chalayan dress (via Opening Ceremony); H&M tights. I wanted to wear the dress because it matched my robot alien hair and then mix the fuzzy black textures of the sweater and hat (and shoes, though the fuzzy factor is less severe in that case.)
Two pictures (from Grazia and Tommy Ton for style.com) pieced together because I forgot to ask my dad if he could take one when it was light out.
I find the second picture so amusing, especially the version with my dad in it, har har. ONCE AGAIN, I AM SO SRS BZNS. My moleskine is full of secrets.
Anyway wore this to Givenchy. I wanted to wear these vintage sunglasses that make everything look pretty and 70's movie-ish through them. Unless somebody is Anna Wintour, I think wearing sunglasses indoors or when it's dark out is kind of d-baggy. And I wore these both indoors AND when it was dark out! But we all know I am a d-bag anyway, plus they're Givenchy, so it seemed approps. Built the outfit around them and the tortoiseshell. Vintage coat and sunglasses (both gifts) and skirt (via Salvation Army), Tin Tin t-shirt (can't really see) was a gift from a swap with Isabel, Yokoo chain, Jonathan Aston red tights and Pamela Mann blue tights (both via MyTights), and Comme des Garcons shoes.
These are all colors I consider to be "fall colors," so I guess I tried to balance that out with the brown. And then lipstick (Chanel) to balance out the red shoes with some red on top.
The tights work by putting on one pair and then putting the other pair on only one leg (over the first pair) and tying its other leg in a knot around your waist. The second pair kind of awkwardly fell down at some points, BUT, awkward can be very fun, especially when it makes other people uncomfortable, and I am spiteful like that.
Well, this was about the most narcissistic post ever! On an unrelated note, all this snow outside needs to leave, like, now. Two months ago it would've been exciting, but now it's just like the weather gods are Jay Leno and the snow is the punchline to his joke, which he always repeats, like, twelve times.

The return window begins when your package is marked "Delivered" by the tracking system. From that time, you have 7 days (including weekends and holidays) to make a return/exchange request. You will be unable to submit a return/exchange request after that 7-day period.
All returned items must be in new, unworn condition, with any tags or hanging ribbons intact.
Return costs are as follows:
In order to waive the restocking fee, we only offer direct exchanges for the same item in a different size.
If you are looking for a different color or a completely different item, simply request a return for a refund and then place a new order for the desired item.
Please note that any item received as the result of an exchange is considered final sale and not eligible for any further refund or exchange.
In the very rare event that an item is defective, you must initiate the return request within 72 hours of receiving it, and detailed photos will be required.
After this time, any return request will be subject to the standard return terms above. So be sure to check your item right away!
Please note that any defective item will be replaced with the exact same item you ordered. Any request for a different variation of the item or a completely different item will be subject to the standard return and exchange terms.
You can submit a return request via our returns portal.
For domestic orders: Your return package must be postmarked and in-transit within 5 business days after you've received the prepaid return shipping label.

Exclusions include:
The easiest way to tell if an item is returnable or not is to look at the badges on the product page. If there is a badge that says "Easy Returns," then it is returnable. If the badge isn't there, it's not.
Sizes shown on product pages are in U.S. sizes and are given to us by the designer.
Please note that designers may use different sizing conventions from each other or from other types of clothing you may be used to, so make sure to check the measuring guide we provide on each product page and match it to the product's size chart to ensure your best fit!
It's also important to remember that there are many different body shapes and alteration is very often required on special occasion dresses to make it just right for you!
Any item for which you're requesting a price match must meet the following criteria to be eligible:
It must be found on an official, authorized retailer's website.
We cannot match prices for unauthorized retailers or brick-and-mortar stores.
The exact size and color must be in stock and available for shipping at the other retailer.
If the other retailer is only offering the item for backorder or is otherwise out of stock, we are unable to match their current price.
It must be listed at the other retailer's regular price.
We cannot match prices that are the result of a sale, promo code, or any other sort of special promotion run by the other retailer.
It must not break any MSRP pricing rules set by the designer.
Some designers set a rule that a dress cannot be sold below a certain minimum price. As an authorized retailer, we take seriously our responsibility to follow our designers' wishes. If the other retailer is breaking any such rule for a particular designer, we cannot match that price.
It must not be a final sale item.
We cannot price match a final sale item, or any final sale website.
The exact size and color must be in stock and available for shipping at the other retailer.
It must be lower than our price when the other retailer's shipping fee is included.
Our free shipping threshold is much lower than most other stores ($99!), so we have to take that into account when considering a price match.
For example, if we're selling a dress for $199 with free shipping, and retailer X is selling the same dress for $185 but with a $20 shipping fee, then we're actually already cheaper by $5 ($199 vs. $205)!
If you've found an item somewhere else that meets the criteria above, and you'd rather shop with us (thank you!), then simply email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with the following information:
We will respond to your request via email within 1-2 business days. Thank you so much for preferring to shop with us!
We are an authorized retailer for every designer you find on our site!
That means you can rest assured that any item you buy from us is always 100% authentic.
We are not required to collect sales tax for any orders originating outside the state of Texas.
Orders from Texas will incur sales tax at the normal local tax rate, based on the customer's address. The amount will be calculated at checkout.
Please note that sales tax is not the same thing as customs fees. We do not collect either of them for your order, and we receive no part of any such fees your government may impose upon delivery.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease in which joint cartilage wears away over time.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately one-third of American adults suffer from chronic arthritis.
The pain of osteoarthritis affects not only Americans' joints, but also their wallets. Thirty-three percent of American workers report that arthritis interferes with their ability to perform their job. In 2007, treating arthritis cost $128 billion — $81 billion in direct expenses, like medical costs, and another $47 billion in lost wages and other indirect costs.
"The pain comes and goes, prevents sleep, makes walking difficult, causes you to drop or spill things, and renders you unable to sign your name or write," writes Dr. Larry Lytle in his book, "Universal Healer: Osteoarthritis." "In short, it is the most common form of disability."
Osteoarthritis cannot currently be cured, but effective non-drug treatments can safely improve the quality of life of millions of people. For example, the FDA has recently approved a low-level laser treatment, the QLaser, for treating osteoarthritis in the hands.
The QLaser System helps the body reduce pain by stimulating the release of endorphins (the body's natural painkillers), while also helping the body reduce inflammation, increase circulation, help heal damaged cell membranes and boost cellular energy levels, resulting in less pain and faster healing.
Keeping a device like the QLaser at home can help people address their osteoarthritis without turning to costly medical treatments or dangerous drugs.
For more information about the QLaser and to receive a free copy of Dr. Lytle's book, "Universal Healer: Osteoarthritis," go to qlasersolutions and enter the code 5390 in the dropdown menu. To receive a free information packet by mail, call 1-800-597-9231 and use the code 5390 when requested.

Ist die Änderung der Augenfarbe sicher? – Effektive Änderungsoperation
Ist die Änderung der Augenfarbe sicher? Effektive Operation zur Änderung der Augenfarbe Istanbul Ist die Änderung der Augenfarbe sicher? Auch ohne Operation per Laser? Ein
"Laser Eye Color Change Procedure " was developed by Dr. Mustafa Mete to help patients with heterochromia correct their eye color. "MYLumineyes" is a customized Lumineyes laser eye color change procedure performed with a different laser than the standard Lumineyes procedure. It's been successfully used to transform brown eyes into blue-green-hazel or gray eyes. Mylumineyes laser eye color change surgery is far less costly and produces faster results.
We recommend that you do a lot of research before making a permanent eye color change. The cost of eye color change surgery varies by clinic. Mylumineyes is a Lumineyes technique that can be customized. The end result is far more efficient, secure, and healthy. Mylumineyes laser eye color change surgery is much more affordable, with faster results, protection of eye health, and the ability to be a natural laser eye color change surgery.

We create different programs for each patient as part of the Mylumineyes safety protocols. One eye laser treatment usually takes 1-2 minutes. Anatomy of the Eye The capacity of aqueous humor drainage canals to discharge spilled pigments is limited. Canal failure occurs when too much work or pigmentation is loaded onto canals in a short period of time, except "Lumineyes Xtra". This will have serious consequences or risks for the eyes' health. Glaucoma, iridocyclitis, and iris atrophy are all problems caused by inexperienced people performing eye color change procedures.
The color of the eyes changes after 2-4 sessions. More change can be seen in the first month, and the final hue emerges in the last 3-6 months. the outcomes of After the procedure, the color of your eyes will be unknown and unpredictable. The MY Lumineyes method stimulates the cells that give the iris its black-brown color naturally, and by removing the dark cells (dark brown eyes), it can give you an eye structure similar to people who have blue, hazel eyes, gray, or green eyes. It does not harm the eye anatomy in the same way that other methods do, and it does not cause any long-term problems. The color is determined by the density of your pigment cells. Mylumineyes use two different natural mechanisms in the eye to completely or partially destroy this density. Mylumineyes is not a traumatic experience. This is just one of Mylumineyes' most important, unique, and distinguishing characteristics.
MY Lumineyes non-surgical eye color change uses a new laser with a different frequency and wavelength that creates a microscopic effect and does not harm ophthalmic tissue. Only an ophthalmologist-eye doctor with extensive surgical management and experience can perform this laser procedure. The MYLumineyes® 8G+3D laser, which is used in the MYLumineyes® Eye Center, is the most recent technology.

Veronica Kole – 18 years old, with a substantial singing, dancing, and songwriting career – has maintained a Facebook page for years. Over time, she amassed many school-aged fans who consistently messaged her for advice about music, life, and love.
One of her "regulars" was a 13-year-old girl named Anna. When Kole was a senior, Anna would message her every day. One day, Anna messaged her 20 times in rapid succession, but as Kole was in school, she was unable to respond until later that evening.
When she signed on to Facebook, she was told by Anna's friend that Anna had gone missing that evening and had taken her own life. She had been incessantly bullied by friends after breaking up with her boyfriend and couldn't take it anymore.
"I went insane trying to find out if it was really true, and when I did, I was devastated," the young Kole said in an interview Tuesday. "At first I beat myself up constantly and blamed myself. I tortured myself about what I should have, would have, could have done had I known, but eventually I realized that wasn't helping either of us."
"Rather than waste time wondering what I could have done, I made the decision to focus on what I can do now." – Veronica Kole
This all came, ironically (or serendipitously, Kole believes), shortly after Anna died. Sanchez asked her to choose a theme for the night, and Kole knew immediately what it would be.
"I chose bullying," she said. "Rather than waste time wondering what I could have done, I made the decision to focus on what I can do now."
Kole's new mission extended beyond the West New York event. She undertook a more extensive anti-bullying campaign in April which she has named "Become a VeRoleModel: Stop Bullying."
She has since spoken and performed at eight local schools, including West New York middle school and high school, as she returned recently to the town where it all began.
Drawing from experience
"In middle school I was the robot, I admit," Kole said. "I was told that if you wore Hollister, Abercrombie, and Ugg boots you had it made. At that point I did what I was told, as most kids that age are very vulnerable and believe what they're told, but once I got to high school I started walking my own path."
Kole was bullied her whole life – not just in middle school, though that was the pinnacle of the harassment, she said – because she was a "chubby kid" and focused on dance and the arts. She felt like no one understood her passion and she was made fun of for it in person, through texts, and through Facebook.
"Kids get cell phones at seven, they forget how to talk face-to-face, and I saw a 2-year-old recently playing Angry Birds on an iPad," Kole mused. "Watching this world change into a plastic one in front of your eyes is crazy, but living through it like I did is even crazier, and this is what I think many adults don't understand."
What she does
On Oct. 1, Kole stood before hundreds of students gathered in West New York Middle School's auditorium with two main messages: To bully or be bullied is not acceptable, and if you follow your own life path and be yourself, you can change the world.
Kole used visual, physical, and musical techniques to drive this home, as kids "have the attention span of a peanut. I know because I was just like that two years ago."
First, she chose three boys from the audience and brought them onstage for a pushup contest. Then Kole watched the audience closely while they competed.
She says that every time she does this, around 90 percent of the students laugh at those who are behind or who struggle. That day she asked the students who laughed to stand up.
Then she asked the winner, who proved himself to be strongest, if he'd ever felt weak before.
That stopped everyone in their tracks, she said. Then she tells the audience that 90 percent of kids either are bullied and do not speak up, or do not speak up when they witness another being bullied.
This gives them a visual.
"I'm usually not one for statistics, but this one really got to me," Kole explained. "And when they look around, they see this sea of people and it hits home."
After the assembly, a girl came up to her who had remembered when she had hosted the arts contest a year earlier. She was still wearing a bracelet Kole had given her then, and told Kole that because of her speech, she had stopped cutting herself.
"I was shocked that she remembered me and that I was able to get the message through," she said. "I rose above my own experiences and pursued my dream, and I plan to forever try my best to tell kids it's okay to be themselves."
Kole has been singing and dancing since she was 9 in school and church choirs, and later joined an opera choir that performed for the Pope in Rome. She has performed solo at Hershey Park, Disney World, Great Adventure, and the Apollo Theatre to name a few, and has been guest singer on television shows such as the Today Show and New York Rocks.
Over the span of her career she has built a sizeable Facebook and Twitter following and plans to continue visiting schools spreading her love of music and her anti-bullying message.

Well the votes are in from our esteemed judges and I am still standing in Project Food Blog at Foodbuzz . Have you caught the BUZZ!!!! I have!!!!A heart felt thank you to all who took the time to vote in the People's Choice. There are now 400 bloggers left in the competition so on to round 2 where we are making a classic dish from any worldwide cuisine that we feel is out of our comfort zone!!!!Project Food Blog is the first-ever interactive competition where thousands of Foodbuzz Featured Publishers are competing in a series of culinary blogging challenges for the chance to advance and a shot at the ultimate prize. As contestants we will see who will rise above the pack and become the next Food Blog Star!!!! I have made it this far and it is so much fun to participate and become more deeply embedded in the Foodbuzz community!!!! Every day we should be this excited about what we are eating even if it just means making use of a wonderful find at our local farmers market.
When searching for a dish that could speak to the hearts of many I decided that rice would be the single universal factor that bloggers could relate to best. Rice is the primary staple for more than half the world's population, with Asia and Africa being the largest consuming regions. Pair rice with some sun-ripened tomatoes, sweet peppers, assorted meats, seafood and seasonings and you have described the ingredient list of Thieboudienne from Senegal, Jambalaya in the deep south of the United States, Jollof Rice in West Africa or countless other variations on the theme. As a food blogger I have a passion, dedication and even an urgency to create a dish that might knock your socks off all the while using a comforting ingredient like rice!!When in Spain.....
Every country has a dish that unites its people. In Spain, that dish is paella the vibrant Spanish rice dish that marries the robust flavours of olive oil, garlic, tomatoes, and peppers with short-grain rice, broth, and meat, fish, or vegetables. It may contain chicken, pork, shellfish, fish, eel, squid, beans, peas, or even artichoke. Saffron, the spice that also turns the rice a wonderful golden colour is an essential part of the dish. Today paella is made in every region of Spain, using just about any kind of ingredient that goes well with rice. Once you're comfortable with the technique of making paella, you can devise your own recipe according to what's good and fresh in your local farmers market. I have made it my own but for the competition kept it as authentic as possible.
If you were to discuss paella with someone from Spain you would get the impression that there are more paella recipes than there are stars in the sky. But the best paellas aren't merely the product of a good recipe, though that certainly helps. No, paella perfection comes about when the person who is cooking it has an almost tangible affection for the dish itself, for the process of making it, and for the people who will be eating it. One thing is understood that paella cooks are passionate and I aspire to be as passionate as they are!!!
To help us out a Spanish 50 year old, retired country gentleman from the novel "Don Quixote of la Mancha" Alonso Quixano gives me inspiration. He became obsessed with books of chivalry, and believed their every word to be true, despite the fact that many of the events in them are clearly impossible. After reading the rather lengthy instructions for making paella I was certain that recreating paella and the perfect conditions was nearly impossible but I was ready for the challenge. Just like Quixano I appear to have lost my mind from lack of sleep and food.
To get into character I have decided to go out as a knight-errant in search of adventure. My adventure is to recreate the perfect paella. Instead of an old suit of armour similar to what Don Quixote wore I am donning my trusty apron and renaming myself "Don Quixote de la Paella," with my imaginary skinny horse "Rocinante" helping me to seek out the freshest ingredients.
Perfect paella. Have you ever really experienced it? In my case probably not (until now) since I have never been to Spain nor had it made for me by a Spanish abuela (grandmother). This is why it intrigued me to try and emulate this classic dish in my own kitchen. In the Valencia region of Spain making paella is a part of local pride and every mother claims to make the best paella in the land! Communal paella cooking and even paella competitions are common in the small village festivals all up and down the coast. As a foodie I would love to increase my skill and be involved one day!!Truly spectacular paella must have a thin layer of rice (no thicker than a half-inch), it must feature a few other ingredients on top (but not so many as to smother the rice), and it must have been cooked and served directly in a real Spanish paella pan. Lastly, if the bottom layer of rice yields a golden caramelized crust, called socarrat, you know you've reached the pinnacle of paella greatness . Here on the pages of More Than Burnt Toast I will attempt to achieve paella nirvana with ingredients that are available to me, techniques...and the help of the gods.
Now that I have decided to recreate a Spanish paella for the second phase of the competition there are five principle elements that determine the nature of the paella...the pan, the rice, the distribution of heat, the sofrito, and the liquid. Great paella rests on these five pillars. The bonus... if you able to reproduce the soccarrat you will impress even your Spanish friends!!!!!!
My trusty steed and I get cooking!!!! Grab your pan!!!A true paella pan is wide, round, and shallow and has splayed sides. I have 2 sizes one to feed up to 4 and one for 8 servings depending on the number of guests. They have two looped handles and dip slightly in the middle so that the oil can pool there for the preliminary sautéing. The shape of the pan ensures that the rice cooks in a thin layer. I have read that the cooked rice should be only as thick as un ditet, or the width of a small finger (about 1/2 inch). The key to the pan is to maximize the amount of rice touching the bottom of the pan because that's where the flavour lives. For that reason, paella pans grow in diameter rather than in height.
Next we have FIRE!!!!Try to find a heat source that can accommodate the whole paella pan. Depending on the configuration of your burners, you'll need to straddle the pan over two burners or set it on your largest burner. Either way, I had to move and rotate my pan to distribute the heat. If I didn't live in a condo I could attempt to cook the paella outdoors on a large gas or charcoal grill, or even over a wood fire, which is how it's done at paella competitions in Spain.
Now for flavour!!!!The salt of the earth. A sauté of aromatics, called the sofrito, provides the flavour base and is an all important component of a good paella. In the recipe here, I'm using tomato, onion, and garlic. Some cooks use paprika, herbs, or a dried sweet red pepper called ñora. The technique is simple... sauté the vegetables over medium heat until they soften and the flavours meld. This mixture should be thick enough to hold its shape in a spoon.
A flavourful liquid is the final key component to make the perfect paella. If you don't have a homemade stock on hand, improvise one with the ingredients in the paella. For paella with shrimp, for example, simmer the shells in salted water for a quick, flavorful stock. If you use canned stock, choose a low-salt one. You can also use water, as many home cooks do in Spain. Almost every paella recipe calls for the liquid to be infused with saffron, which contributes colour as well as a subtle background flavour to the rice.
With all of the elements above you could be talking about any rice and tomato dish from any country but what makes paella stand out from the crowd, and why I wanted to try and recreate it was the socarrat (soh-kah-raht ) which means to toast lightly. It is the caramelized crust of rice that sometimes sticks to the bottom of the pan. It is the prize in a well-made paella. To achieve this, increase the heat at the end of cooking, paying close attention to the sound of the rice (it crackles) and the smell (toasty but not burned). After one or two minutes, poke under the foil with a spoon; if you feel just a touch of bumpy resistance on the bottom of the pan, you've got socarrat.
When the liquid is absorbed, the rice is done, and the socarrat achieved, the paella needs some time alone to finish cooking and round out its flavours. Cover the pan with a clean towel or foil (if you haven't already done so) and let it rest off the heat for five to ten minutes.
Appearing to have regained my reason, I am denouncing chivalry and knighthood and serving up my paella to my friends. To accompany the rice, I served it with nothing more than lemon wedges, a lightly dressed salad, plenty of wine, and lots of family and friends who, as it is done traditionally, ate it directly from the pan. Everyone found a place around the pan and started eating from the perimeter of the pan and working toward the center. Travel, even "kitchen stool" travel to Spain helps us to better understand and appreciate other people and their cultures. Nothing is more intimate, or more effective at breaking down cultural barriers, than cooking and sharing meals together. No need to fight off robbers, windmills or the elements to create a fantasy dish. Join me in making paella. When you have like-minded people from all parts of the world breaking bread at the same table magic happens !!!Bring on the Sangria!!!!!
Paella |
4 cups homemade or low-salt canned chicken stock, more as needed
1 teaspoon saffron (10 threads or more)
about ¼ cup olive oil, more if needed
8 skinless chicken thighs, chopped in half and seasoned with salt and pepper, or 8 boneless breasts
3 chorizo sausages, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound shelled and cleaned shrimp marinated in:
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
½ cup oil
½ cup white wine
12 mussels, well scrubbed
1 small head of garlic (remove excess papery skins, trim the top, and make a shallow cut around its equator to speed cooking), also
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 1-inch wide strips
9 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
¾ cup chopped onion,
1 (14.5 oz/411 g) can tomatoes
1-1/2 cups arborio, Calasparra or Bomba rice (important what type of rice is used)
½ cup fresh or frozen peas, cooked and drained
2 lemons, cut in wedges for garnish
1. In a saucepan, bring the stock to a boil; reduce the heat to a simmer and cover. Put the saffron on a 3-inch wide strip of aluminum foil, fold up the foil to make a square packet, and set the foil directly on the lid of the simmering stock for about 15 minutes. Unfold the packet, transfer the saffron to a mortar (or a small bowl), add a pinch of salt, and use the pestle (or the back of spoon) to crush the saffron. Add about ½ cup of the hot stock to the saffron and let saffron steep for about 15 minutes. Add the saffron-infused liquid back to the stock. Taste; the stock should be well-seasoned, so add more salt if necessary. Remove from the heat until ready to add to the rice.
2. Marinate the shrimp for at least 1 hour using ingredients mentioned.
3. Steam the mussels in 1 cup of boiling water until they open, about 5 minutes. Discard any that do not open. Reserve the mussels and cooking liquor. Strain the liquor. Add liquor to the reserved chicken stock.
4. Set a paella pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken, chorizo sausage and the head of garlic; saute until the chicken is golden, 10 – 15 minutes. The oil may splatter, and you may need to turn down the heat. Transfer the partially cooked chicken and sausage to a platter. The head of garlic stays in the pan.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. In the same pan, saute the red pepper slices slowly until they are very limp, 20 to 25 minutes, adding more oil if necessary. They shouldn't brown too much.
6. When the peppers are done, transfer the pieces to a plate, cover with foil, and set aside. Slowly saute the artichokes in the same pan, still on medium-low until the artichokes are golden and tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, when the pepper pieces are cool enough to handle, peel off and discard the skin. When the artichokes are done transfer to the platter with the chicken and sausage.
7. If there is more than 1 T. of the oil in the pan, pour out the excess. Increase the heat to medium and saute the chopped onion and crushed garlic until the onion is soft (it is alright if it gets slightly brown), about 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes (finely chopped or grated). Season well with salt and saute until the water from the tomatoes have cooked out and the mixture, called a sofrito, has darkened to a burgundy colour and is a very thick puree, 5 to 10 minutes. If you are not cooking the rice immediately, remove the pan from the heat.
8. About a half hour before you are ready to eat, bring the stock and reserved mussel liquor back to a simmer and set the paella pan with the sofrito over your largest burner (or over 2 burners) on medium heat, noticing if the pan sits level. When the sofrito is hot, add the rice, stirring until it is translucent, 10 to 2 minutes.
9. Spread out the rice (it should just blanket the bottom of the pan), and arrange the chicken and chorizo in the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high and pour in 3-1/2 cups of the simmering stock (reserving ½ cup). As the stock comes to a boil, push the head of garlic to the centre. Cook until the rice begins to appear above the liquid, 8 to 10 minutes., rotating the pan over one and two burners as necessary to distribute the heat to all areas. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Continue to simmer, rotating the pan as necessary, until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes more. During this entire time, move the pan around as much as you want to even out the heat, but don't stir the rice. If the liquid seems to be boiling off too quickly, you may need to add a little more, so have some hot water or more stock handy on another burner. To check for doneness, taste a grain just below the top layer of rice—there should be a very tiny white dot in the centre. If the liquid is absorbed but the rice is not done, add a bit more hot stock or water to the pan and cook a few minutes more. Remove the shrimp from the marinade before adding to the paella. Add steamed mussels, peas and artichokes. Stir once. Lay peppers in the pan, starburst-like. Cover the pan with foil and cook gently for another 2 minutes, which will help ensure that the top layer of rice is evenly cooked. With the foil in place, increase the heat to medium high and, turning the pan, cook until the bottom layer of rice starts to caramelize, creating the socarrat, 1 to 2 minutes. You may hear the rice crackling, which is fine, but if it starts to burn, remove the pan from the heat immediately. To check for socarrat, peel back the foil and use a spoon to feel for a slight crust on the bottom of the pan.
10. Remove the pan from the heat and let paella rest, still covered, 5 to 10 minutes. Sit everyone down at the table an serve directly from the pan, starting at the perimeter and working toward the centre, squeezing lemon wedges over.
11. Lay the peppers in the pan, starburst-like. Cover the pan with foil and cook gently for another 2 minutes, which will help ensure that the top layer of rice is evenly cooked. With the foil in place, increase the heat to medium-high and, turning the pan, cook until the bottom layer of rice starts to caramelize, creating the socarrat, 1 to 2 minutes. You may hear the rice crackling, which is fine, but if it starts to burn, remove the pan from the heat immediately. To check for socarrat, peel back the foil and use a spoon to feel for a slight crust on the bottom of the pan.
12. Remove the pan from the heat and let paella rest, still covered, 5 to 10 minutes. Serve directly from the pan with lemon wedges.

More and more smoke billows from the general direction of Chicago Cubs outfielder Nate Schierholtz.
A day after ESPN Chicago reported that Schierholtz is the "most likely" Cub to be moved next, Buster Olney says that the Cubs are getting "solid interest" on Schierholtz, and, because he's one of the best bats on the market, he's very likely to be traded. Olney adds that the Pirates are a perfect fit, and notes that they face a whole lot of righties on the Reds and Cardinals.
Couple this with Jayson Stark's comment that the most likely Cubs to be moved are Kevin Gregg and Schierholtz, and, at least from the ESPN contingent, you've got a whole lot of Schierholtz smoke.
Schierholtz is 29, under cheap control through 2014, and has been very productive for the Cubs in right field. The reasons to trade him are largely the same as the reasons to keep him.

Three decades after they were introduced as a crime-fighting tool, electronic ankle bracelets used to track an offender's whereabouts have proliferated so much that officials are struggling to handle an avalanche of monitoring alerts that are often nothing more sinister than a dead battery, lost satellite contact or someone arriving home late from work.
Amid all that white noise, alarms are going unchecked, sometimes on defendants now accused of new crimes.
Some agencies don't have clear protocols on how to handle the multitude of alerts, or don't always follow them. At times, officials took days to act, if they noticed at all, when criminals tampered with their bracelets or broke a curfew.
"I think the perception ... is that these people are being watched 24 hours a day by someone in a command center. That's just not happening," said Rob Bains, director of court services for Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit Court, which this spring halted its monitoring programs after two people on the devices were accused in separate shootings.
At least 100,000 sex offenders, parolees and people free on bail or probation wear ankle bracelets that can sound an alarm if they leave home without permission, fail to show up for work or linger near a playground or school.
To assess these monitoring programs, The Associated Press queried a sample of corrections, parole and probation agencies across the U.S. for alarms logged in a one-month period and for figures regarding the number of people monitored and the number of officers watching them. The AP also reviewed audits, state and federal reports and studies done of several of these programs, which detailed problems that included officers failing to investigate alarms or take action when offenders racked up multiple violations.
Twenty-one agencies that responded to the AP inquiry logged 256,408 alarms for 26,343 offenders in the month of April alone. It adds up for those doing the monitoring. The 230 parole officers with the Texas Department of Criminal Justice handled 944 alerts per day in April. The Delaware Department of Correction, which has 31 field officers, handled 514 alarms per day.
"When we first introduced this technology ... officers thought they were just going to go play golf for the day," said Jock Waldo, a spokesman for Boulder, Colo.-based BI Inc., which produces about half the bracelets used in the U.S. However, the devices require scrutiny of the vast amount of data they produce, Waldo said.
Sorting through alerts, and deciding which are serious enough to merit a rapid response, can be fraught with peril.
In Syracuse, N.Y., federal probation agents wary of alarms caused by things such as lost satellite signals asked a monitoring company to contact them only if an alert lasted more than five minutes. Agents tracking child-porn suspect David Renz then missed 46 alerts in nine weeks, including one generated when he removed his bracelet in March. He then raped a 10-year-old girl and killed her mother. Renz pleaded guilty to those charges July 17.
Corrections officials in Orange County, Fla., were so inundated with alerts that they halted all real-time notifications except when people tried to remove their bracelets. That allowed Bessman Okafor, awaiting trial for a home invasion, to violate his curfew 53 times in a single month without any action being taken. During one of those outings last September, prosecutors say, Okafor shot three people, killing a 19-year-old man who was to testify against him.
In Colorado -- where the state's 212 parole officers handle an average of 15,000 alerts a month -- one officer took five days to check on the whereabouts of a paroled white supremacist after getting an alert that he had tampered with his bracelet. By the time officers issued an arrest warrant, the man had killed two people, authorities say, including the head of the state's Department of Corrections and Nathan Leon, a computer technician and pizza delivery driver.
"I hurt as much now as I did four months ago," Leon's father, John Leon, said last week. "Technology is not going to automatically issue warrants for people. It just sends an alarm that says, `This thing's been cut.' And for people to ignore it, what's the point?"
Supporters of electronic monitoring say such tragedies are the exception and that the devices are a valuable tool for authorities who previously relied only on shoe leather and the telephone to keep tabs on released prisoners. In many cases involving violence by people on trackers, the accused likely would have been free on bail or parole even if electronic monitoring didn't exist, and would have been far harder to monitor.
"No one should think this is going to be 100 percent effective," said George Runner, a former California legislator who wrote that state's voter-approved law requiring bracelets for all paroled sex offenders. "It's just a tool. When used, and used effectively, it can be not only helpful in modifying behavior, but we've heard stories about it actually preventing crimes."
Once used to track straying cows, electronic monitoring of criminals debuted in 1983, when a New Mexico judge inspired by a Spider-Man comic book allowed a man who violated probation to wear an ankle bracelet rather than go to jail. Use took off in the last decade, as technology improved and lawmakers became enamored of trackers as a cost-effective alternative to incarceration and a way of monitoring sex offenders for life.
Today, 39 states require monitoring of sex offenders. The biggest user of ankle bracelets is the federal government, which tracks people on pretrial release and probation, as well as thousands of immigrants fighting deportation.
Two types of devices are primarily used: radio frequency monitors that generate an alert when a wearer strays from a fixed location, such as a home, and GPS units that can track wearers all over town. Those GPS units can be set to sound alerts in real time or passively collect data for review later.
Manufacturers stress that these devices were never intended to be foolproof.
Most are designed to be cut off easily -- in part because they could interfere with medical equipment -- but they are made to send alerts anytime someone attempts to stretch or slice a strap. And while GPS devices allow users to pinpoint an offender's location on a computer map in real time, most officers are too busy to check until they get an alarm indicating a potential problem.
"It's virtually impossible to sit there and track a person all day," said Kelly Barnett, a union official who represents probation officers doing GPS tracking in Michigan. Barnett said that while officers see value in the monitoring, such programs also give "a false sense of security to the community."
Studies have found mixed results on the devices' value as a crime deterrent. Bill Bales, a criminology professor at Florida State University, said he believes they are beneficial. Offenders wearing them tend to stay home more with their families.
"They're glad to be in the free world, albeit tethered, rather than in prison," Bales said.
The key to making the devices work, he and other experts said, is to figure out how best to process the immense amounts of information they generate.
The AP inquiry of correctional agencies found that policies on how to handle alerts vary. In Kentucky and Ohio, state probation or parole officers only respond to alerts during regular business hours. In other places, coverage exists around-the-clock.
Some agencies hire monitoring companies to do an initial screening of alarms. Others tackle that task themselves.
In many cases, alerts about things such as low batteries or lost GPS signals can be resolved by asking an offender to recharge or go to a window to recapture the satellite signal. Alerts that can't be resolved immediately are usually sent to field officers through pages, texts or emails. In most states, officials rarely respond in person because so many alerts can be cleared with a phone call.
While many agencies have detailed protocols in place, others have none.
In Florida, after a man on a GPS monitor was accused in an Easter Sunday shooting in the city of Apopka, administrators in the state's Ninth Judicial Circuit Court pointed to a "lack of procedures" for handling alarms.
In a June 7 report, court administrators said the small monitoring company that had been watching the suspect had just one person on call to track 81 people, and no system for notifying law enforcement or the courts about GPS violations. After the shooting, it took six hours for the company to notify anyone that the suspect had removed his tracker and disappeared.
Even when procedures are in place, they aren't always followed. For example, a 2010 audit of the federal probation office in northern New York found lapses that included officers not making their required number of in-person visits with people in monitoring programs.
A new review conducted after Renz cut off his bracelet found that even though his monitor had sent multiple tamper alerts over several weeks, officers neither inspected his equipment nor documented the alerts in his case file.
"In most instances, the probation office took no action in response to the alerts at all. When action was taken, it was limited to the probation officer verbally admonishing the defendant to `stop messing with the transmitter,"' the report said.
In a June 14 letter to a New York congressman, Judge Thomas Hogan, director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, said Renz was not supervised in a typical manner, and that the office had since made substantial changes, including reorganizing the monitoring unit, retraining staff and "dismissing and demoting certain probation office personnel."
In Tennessee, a government audit last summer looked at a sample of 68 GPS offenders and found that officers with the state's Board of Probation and Parole had failed to clear or confirm 80 percent of the 11,347 alerts they generated over 10 months. That included thousands of alarms set off by people leaving home when they weren't supposed to or entering places they had been told to avoid.
The report also found that offenders placed on monitors because they were deemed to need extra supervision actually got less because corrections officials routinely skipped tasks such as verifying that sex offenders were attending mandatory counseling sessions.
In response, the state Department of Correction noted that officers in the tracking unit had an average caseload of 40 offenders -- more than the 25 suggested by the American Probation and Parole Association. It also noted that a center that had been screening alarms 24 hours a day was closed due to budget cuts in 2011, at a time when state lawmakers had more than doubled the number of sex offenders required to get bracelets.
In several states, agencies are making changes.
After the March slaying of Colorado Department of Corrections chief Tom Clements, the state began requiring parole officers to respond to tamper alerts within two hours. The suspect in Clements' death, Evan Ebel, was killed in a shootout with Texas authorities.
In 2011, California began requiring the companies that provide ankle bracelets to sort routine alerts from more urgent ones to help overwhelmed parole officers. Still, earlier this year state officials admitted that thousands of sex offenders had slipped their bracelets and become fugitives.
Legislators there are pushing for more serious punishments for removing a bracelet. Said Democratic state Sen. Ted Lieu: "Dangerous parolees do not cut off their GPS devices because they want to go to church unmonitored."
U.S. Rep. Dan Maffei, a Democrat who represents upstate New York, said he wants to make it a federal crime to tamper with a monitor.
Since the Apopka and Okafor cases, the chief judge of Florida's Ninth Judicial Circuit Court has suspended nearly all electronic monitoring of criminal defendants while the programs are reformulated.
In the Okafor case, an internal affairs report found that officers in the Orange County Corrections Department program weren't on duty to respond to alerts after 9 p.m., and staffing was so tight that disciplinary hearings weren't scheduled for offenders with violations. One supervisor told investigators the monitoring equipment, supplied by 3M, was issuing so many email alerts that it had caused confusion about which were legitimate.
Chris Defant, a technology manager with 3M, said some users of the technology are still working to refine their procedures, while others have designed their policies in ways that generate few alarms.
In Florida, Orange County spokesman Steve Triggs said the real problem was such monitoring programs were "never really designed for the Okafors of the world." Prosecutors had argued at a bail hearing that Okafor was too dangerous to be released. Okafor has pleaded not guilty to the home invasion and the shootings. His lawyer, Joseph Haynes Davis, said his client is innocent. Okafor is behind bars awaiting trial.
