Free Technology for Teachers: 43+ Alternatives to YouTube - 2 views
shared by Dianne Krause on 13 Aug 13 - No Cached
Dianne Krause on 13 Aug 13"Excellent educational content can be found on YouTube. However, not every teacher can access YouTube in his or her classroom. That's why a few years ago I compiled a big list of alternatives to YouTube. Over the years some of those sites have shut-down, started charging a fee, or have switched into another market. So this evening I went through and eliminated some sites from the list and added a few new ones. My favorite five alternatives to YouTube are listed below."

Modelling Framework and the Quantitative Analysis of Distributed Energy Resources in Future Distribution Networks
- Authors:
- 10.1515/ijeeps-2013-0007
- Abstract:
- There has been a large body of statements claiming that the large-scale deployment of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) could eventually reshape the future distribution grid operation in numerous ways. Thus, it is necessary to introduce a framework to measure to what extent the power system operation will be changed by various parameters of DERs. This article proposed a modelling framework for an overview analysis on the correlation between DERs. Furthermore, to validate the framework, the authors described the reference models of different categories of DERs with their unique characteristics, comprising distributed generation, active demand and electric vehicles. Subsequently, quantitative analysis was made on the basis of the current and envisioned DER deployment scenarios proposed for Sweden. Simulations are performed in two typical distribution network models for four seasons. The simulation results show that in general the DER deployment brings in the possibilities to reduce the power losses and voltage drops by compensating power from the local generation and optimizing the local load profiles.

You're ready to discover your truest desires and to take bold action to bring them to life. You're ready to expand into your fullness; to unfold all of your possibilities. More than anything, you're ready to stop feeling confused, stuck, and annoyed with yourself for not "doing better."
You're here because you're ready to live life on your terms.
I love working with people who know that they are capable of infinite bigness, but are having a tough time stepping into their power.
They're looking for someone to help them see their dreams, toss a lasso around them and hold the sacred space while they pull those dreams in closer.
They're hoping that someone can help them get out of their own way so that they can grow into who they were always meant to be.
And that's where I come in.
I believe that everything you desire is within your reach.
In my customized 1:1 coaching programs, my aim is to get you fiercely clear on what you truly want and to support you on the journey of getting it. We work to define the vision of your life so that you can be led by it, so that all of your decisions are in service to it. No guilt, no shame, and absolutely no playing small is involved. We dream BIG.
My intention is that when our work is done, you feel open, free, expanded, clear, and beyond ready. I want you to leave me feeling like you can take on the world — because you can. Because the world is waiting for you to. Because you're waiting for you to.
I use the Co-Active coaching technique; your success is a collaborative effort so it is my full intent to leave you standing on your own two feet at the end of our time together.

"If you joke or laugh or don't seem to take things seriously, it may come off as hurtful, callous, or insults. You can approach the problem in a positive and optimistic way, but you do need to convey that you are taking it to heart and that you want to work together to fix it."
So, I've learned a couple of new and interesting developments…about me…over the past 3 weeks. Mostly the news followed some sugar-coated warning like: you're great but…, you would be so much better if, I could see us together IF…
I'm not perfect!
I make mistakes, sometimes I pick the wrong option but I'm still human, and I acknowledge that I will at some parts of my life, mess up.
I mess up much more than I envision, but hey, a mess up is a mess up, no matter how big or small. Sometimes (yeah yeah, most of the time), I get there too late to clean up the mess that I've found that someone else has (so diligently) cleaned up for me…and I don't know what to do. Al fin, que será, será.
Il est trop tard…ou bien…peut-être si je…
Ho ancora ti porto con me
The worst thing about hurting someone, is not understanding the depth at which you hurt them. It sucks so much when you realize JUST how much you hurt them but it is just a little too late to try and back pedal to erase the hurt, because it has already infiltrated their heart, and left scars, that may never ever leave.
I hurt someone that I really care about, and it breaks my heart. I can't focus on anything else, I can't think of anything/anyone else…it burns. It feels like my heart is on the table and someone is smashing it to pieces, one valve at a time…but I guess I deserve to feel even a fraction of how I made them feel.
The more I think I am growing up , the more I realize just how LITTLE I am growing up..it's kind of sad actually…I don't understand how to love, or even how to be loved. I don't understand relationships, or maybe I am just not ready for one. I'm so focused on doing everything RIGHT right now, that it seems that my feelings and potential love have taken a back seat, and the worst part is that it took for me to hurt someone for me to realize what I was doing.
Do I want love? Yes. Am I ready for it? I think so.
Am I falling in love? Faster than the speed of light and it is such an exhilarating (and terrifying) feeling.
To the person I hurt, I am so sorry…I know that will never be enough, but I truly am. I sincerely apologize for hurting you and not being enough, not being what you need. You mean so much to me, and I haven't even shown you that. I know, I fucked up. I see that. I never took you for granted and I am sorry if I made you feel that way. I really, honestly, truly did not mean to.
Thank you for being incredible and for always making me smile 🙂 Thank you for just being you..kind, generous, handsome, caring, intuitive, you. Thanks for taking a chance with me, and I am sorry for ruining it.
I have a lot to learn (a lot a lot a lot a lot), but I hope that (forse) one day in the future, we can try again? Ball's in your court now.

About Amateur Radio
About NZART
This annual contest is named to honour Jock White ZL2GX, NZART Contest and Awards Manager for over 40 years, for the service that he gave to NZART during that time. This contest is primarily to test Branch organisation and weld a team of workers together. Your team can aim to be as competitive or as social as it likes, or all points in between. There is work for all: spouses/partners, prospective members etc.
For NZART Branches and clubs (hereafter referred to as branches) to establish effective temporary HF radio stations, to work as many other New Zealand stations as possible and to learn to operate in an abnormal situation in less that optimal conditions.
Home stations can also participate but are strongly encouraged to make a minimum of either 50 phone and/or 20 CW contacts on 80m and/or 40m and submit logs.
The last full weekend in February each year: on Saturday 1500-2400 NZDT and Sunday 0600-1500 NZDT.
NOTE: when February only has three full weekends then field day will be held on Saturday 28th February and Sunday 1st March. This is to avoid a clash with the ARRL international CW contest.
This will occur in 2015 and then 2026.
40 and/or 80 metres, PHONE (SSB) and/or CW, 100 watts PEP maximum.
Stations using two transmitters may operate simultaneously on both bands, however only one transmitter may be operated on a single band at a time. Single transmitter stations may operate on one or both bands.
Field station shelters may be one or more tents sited within 10 metres of each other and erected on the weekend of the contest. Caravans, mobile homes or other vehicles may also be used, but may only be moved on to the site on the weekend of the contest.
Field station antennas may not be raised earlier than 1200 NZDT Saturday. Some stations may chose to erect antenna supports while others may use natural or standing supports. Eg. Hills, trees, towers, buildings etc.
For field stations this must be from an independent source. I.e. batteries, portable generator engine alternators, solar power, wind or water powered generators, etc.
(Stations may only enter one category)
Contact Points:
Phone - 3 points, CW - 5 points and Overseas Phone or CW - 10 points.
Multiplier Points:
Total Scores:
Should be the sum of the contact points multiplied by the total Branch multiplier point numbers worked
A completed Summary must accompany all logs. Sample summary sheet can be downloaded by clicking on the thumbnail to the right.
Page 1 of the Summary should contain:
Summary pages 2 and 3 are for listing the callsigns of the stations claimed as Branch multiplier points for each Branch on each band and mode. Count the numbers in each column and transfer the sum totals to page 1 of the Summary.
If any clarification is required on any matter related to field day please feel free to contact the Jock White field day manager: firstname.lastname@example.com
Logs together with summaries should be posted to reach Stuart Watchman, ZL2TW, 62 Hillcrest Avenue, Blenheim 7201, no later than the Saturday which is four weeks after the Field Day Saturday.

So this is pretty cool... OK, I'm just being coy... It's REALLY COOL! I'll be contributing weekly rants/reports centered around race and racism (Surprise SURPRISE!) on the very highly rated and highly followed podcast Citizen Radio! It is co-hosted by Jamie Kilstein, who has quickly become a stand-up comedic force for good (Janeane Garofalo said "Watching Jamie reminds me of why I got into comedy. It is like watching a combination of George Carlin and Bill Hicks") , and Allison Kilkenny, who is a political blogger everywhere that smart people read political blogs (Huffington Post, Alternet.org, The Nation, True/Slant). They've had Noam Chomsky, Melissa Harris Lacewell, the late Howard Zinn, Janeane Garofalo, and now they want me (?). It is a brilliant show whether I'm on it or not.
I was on their show earlier this year, and they have decided that they want more regular doses of Kamau. Sp far the segment is called, "We're sorry, black people!" The first one will be start airing this Friday, April 30th, I believe. And as a special preshow bonus, I'll be posting the text of them here on my website so you can get sneak peak before you hear my voice exploding out of your speakers.
I'll post the first one later today.
The podcast can be found...

Session 5 - High Luminosity AGN.
Display session, Monday, June 10
Tripp Commons,
The flux of a quasar shortward of the rest-frame wavelength of He\sc ii Ly \alpha (304Åshould be depressed due to absorption by He^+ ions in the diffuse intergalactic medium (the Gunn-Peterson effect) and/or absorption by He^+ ions residing in clumps or clouds that make up the Ly \alpha forest. Such absorption was recently detected in a FOC spectrum of the z=3.286 quasar, Q0302-003, by Jakobsen et al. (Nature 370, 35, 1994), but the spectral resolution of the FOC was not sufficient to show whether the absorption is produced by a uniformly distributed medium or by a forest of Ly \alpha lines. Last year, Songaila, Hu amp; Cowie (Nature 375, 124, 1995) used the HIRES echelle spectrograph on Keck to obtain a high-quality spectrum of the H \sc i Ly\alpha forest of Q0302-003. They detected a multitude of Ly\alpha- forest clouds, some with column densities as low as 2\cdot 10^12 cm^-2. They argued that absorption in these clouds is sufficient to account for the observed absorption.
This quasar has now been observed by the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS) at 0.6 Å\ resolution, and it is a planned target of observation by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), an instrument scheduled to be installed on HST in February 1997. In this paper, we describe the findings from the GHRS observations and evaluate the prospects for future STIS observations.

Watch Han Solo and Chewbacca Get 40 Years Older in 2 Seconds
We take a quick break from morphing gadgets today to look at a comparison of Han and Chewie from Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope and Episode VII The Force Awakens. Based of the images in the recent Vanity Fair photo shoot, JJ Abrams and crew have done a good job of maintaining a very similar design for Chewie. Han, on the other hand, has clearly aged a few decades.

a stuck truck and a new book
I was so excited to meet the mortgage broker this morning I jumped into the Ford and pulled it into reverse. The snow had other plans. The slush got caught under the tires and turned to hard-pack ice. Suddenly it started slowly sliding sideways down the hill towards the trees. Before it got too far, I slammed it into park, and hopped out to see the damage. The car was fine, but really in a bind. The little 2WD beast had been buried in a drift up front, and the back wheels were spinning. Already late to meet my broker - I left it for dead and hopped into the Subaru with my file folders. I'd deal with it later.
Wayside was buzzing, as it is every weekend morning. A mix of farmers, skiers, and locals who were in to pick up their Sunday Times. I met James (the guy making this all happen) and we talked for a while. I asked a million questions and signed all the application papers at the old roll-top desk in the back the country store. The main table was full of familiar faces gabbing over the news, so they set me up in the small office section to do our business. It felt quirky, but fitting, to be applying for a home loan at Wayside. The country store has been part of my solid footing since I moved to New England. I've met friends here, brought dates there, cried, danced, and laughed there...now I was signing the papers for my own farm loan. The 30-year USDA-backed fixed rate mortgage (which by law can't go above 5.5%) is what was at the end of that dotted line. I sucked in the air around me, exhaled, and signed away. When the paperwork was done, we shook hands and I headed home to a laid-up truck.
It was on. I was getting my girl out, and I was going to do this myself. I grabbed a shovel, rock salt, hay, sand, and the old tire chains my dad gave me as a teenager. It took some muscle (and considerable time) but after I dug it out and set up the back tires with the chains—I revved it into reverse and she popped out like the pin of a grenade! I hooted and hollered in the cab. I slammed my fist on the dash, laughing like a drunk. Rightly so, because today I cheated at my own game and won. I got myself into trouble, and then out. Just as recent as a few months ago I would've left it in the ditch till a neighbor could pull me out with his tractor, But today I wanted to save myself. Maybe it was the mortgage papers, or maybe it was the fact some of these neighbors want me gone—regardless, today I was my own tow truck and it felt damn good. I crossed my arms in the front seat, leaned back into the seat, and grinned like a fox.
Oh, Big news! A new book just hit the shelves called The Profitable Hobby Farm, How to Build a Sustainable Local Foods Business by Sarah Beth Aubrey. I bought it last weekend because I am in the beginning, business-planning stages of Cold Antler Farm. I want it to grow from a homestead that feeds me into another source of income. I want to market wool, eggs, and eventually meat and vegetables from the farm. This book seemed geared for people like myself: folks already starting out, but who need some guidance making a homestead into more of an income. So I bought it, set it on my pile of research, and went on with my life.
Then, the following week at the office, an email came in from Sarah Beth, the author of said book. She wanted to thank everyone who was a part of it, and to contact her if they had any issues or needed more information. Then it clicked: Holy Shit. I'm in that book! When I got home I flipped to the last chapter and there I was! Me, Sal, and everyone here at Cold... as well as interviews and stories about beginning my life as a small farmer. I had completely forgotten I was interviewed for the project (which then had another name: Town to Tractor). Now I'm on the books as a resource and example for folks who want to make a lifestyle change. How about that? An auspicious little nod for a girl on the way to buying her own chunk of earth to do exactly what the book's about.
There are a few mistakes in the book. For example it says Cold Antler is in Arlington, Vermont instead of Sandgate. And there's some section about dogsledding that wrote I hook up the dogs by their collars (ouch) to pull me on our kickled. (I assure you, we use properly fitted x-back racing harnesses.) And I think she thought Diana Carlin (my Idaho mentor) was also my landlord - but anyway, all of this is inconsequential to the intention. It's a fine book, and should be helpful getting Cold Antler off the ground and start helping make the future mortgage payments. Fingers crossed.
P.S. Now that I am in the home stretch - I will be removing the donation button from the blog. The point of that button was to allow readers to contribute to making Cold Antler into my own farm, and that is what is finally happening. I want to thank everyone who kicked in a dollar or two, and in some cases more, to help save for the future of Cold Antler. But I feel my savings are set, and would not feel right accepting any more farm-buying donations. Any gifts that were given remain in the savings pot, and were used for nothing else, but it's time to help someone else. It's not your job to help pay for painting the kitchen or putting up fences. We're here guys. We did it. I could not have gotten here without you. I thank you with all I am.

We understand that there are sometimes many sacrifices that have to be made when weighing the monetary costs of sending your child to a private school. While we strive to keep tuition and fees as low as possible while still covering our operating costs, we know that tuition can at times be stressful on a family's budget. Considering this, our desire is to never turn away a family who truly desires a Christian education for their children because of an inability to pay. We want a Christian education to be accessible for everyone!
Liberty does award financial aid to those whose financial situation shows that they need it in order to attend the school. Our financial aid team will be happy to guide you through the application process.
If you are interested in applying for financial aid, please email our office at email@example.com. They will be able to assist you with the application.
Financial Aid Q&A's
Q: Who is eligible to apply for financial aid?
Any family that has applied to or is registered at LCS can apply for financial aid. LCS believes that Christian education should be available to all families regardless of social or economic status. The purpose of the LCS Financial Aid Program is to assist families who demonstrate a need for financial aid. If you as a family feel you cannot afford the tuition, then please apply.
Q: Who processes my application for financial aid and is it kept confidential?
LCS uses the services of Confidential Financial Services (CFS), a third party reviewer, to assist with the confidential financial aid data collection process. CFS will send a recommendation to LCS. A financial committee made up of the school administrator, a teacher, a board member and an unbiased third party member will review the recommendation and the situational letter. All information is kept confidential.
Q: Is financial aid based upon my family's income alone?
The CFS application considers other factors such as: charitable contributions, reasonable living expenses and the number of children enrolled at LCS.
LCS also requires every family to submit a situational letter. Parents will submit a letter explaining the situation that causes them to apply for financial aid, including specific hardships and financial difficulties. The letter should also include specific strategies the family has employed to afford tuition. This letter is a most critical piece of information in determining the financial aid award.
Q: I still do not know if I will qualify and for how much?
It is impossible to answer this question without completing the CFS application. Each family has a different set of circumstances that will enter into the final decision.
Q: I have multiple children. What should I do?
All children are considered on one application. Normally the amount of financial aid (if you qualify) will increase with the combined tuition costs considered. It does not take into consideration the tuition of another child enrolled at a different private school.
Q: Our family is a split family; whose information is required:
In cases where the applicant is divorced, the assets of both parents will be considered if the parents have joint custody. If the custodial parent is remarried, the assets of the step-parent will be included in the review. If someone else is financially responsible for the student, that person must complete the aid form and explain his/her relationship to the student. You may note any special circumstances in your situational letter.
Q: What does financial aid cover?
Financial aid is only available for tuition purposes. It does not cover any extra required or optional fees.
Q: Where do I start with the process?
You first need to contact the school office. They will then supply you with the information needed to go through the application process. There is a time commitment on the school's part to go through the financial aid application process. We need to know that you are serious about wanting your child to attend LCS.
Q: What is the cost for me to go through this process?
The application process for LCS is $40 per family and is completed online.
Contact the school office for complete instructions for the online application.
You need to send/give your situational letter to Mr. Hoe. Please put your family name and situational letter in the subject line (for example, "Nelson situational letter").
Please remember that your financial aid package cannot be processed until you have gone through the LCS application process and until all required CFS information and the situation letter have been received by LCS.

My response was that this was not merely an exercise in entertainment but an opportunity to demonstrate the validity and practicality of Remote Viewing in investigative work to someone in their target market: a practicing private investigator.
Sounds like a reasonable expectation, I would have thought?
Alas, this did not elicit a further response other than an invitation to clean up my office and hop on a plane to either Perth (Australia) or Las Vegas where there are several conferences or seminars on the subject being held.
Wow, he must really have those RV powers to scry the state of my office. Either that or there is a more than average chance that any small business office probably could do with a tidy (particularly if a sole operator) as it is more likely that he or she will tend to focus on doing work and not necessarily the admin or housekeeping.
Or not.

A knitting compulsion
I began to have questions -
- do I really have to rewind my yarn so that a string comes off from outside and another from inside? I used a skein and pulled from the outside and the inside.
- does twined knitting use twice as much yarn as regular knitting? The skein seemed to be disappearing pretty fast.
- are you supposed to make a swatch? Is there a gauge to twined knitting?
- what size needle are you supposed to use?
- is this mitten going to fit?
I will call my first project a cuff:
Some things just aren't instinctive. On Friday I ordered instructions and suggested yarn to make twined mittens and twined socks from Blackberry Ridge. I also am waiting for a book: Gibson-Roberts, Priscilla~KNITTING IN THE OLD WAY NEW. I'm very excited.

|The Children's Hour, illustrated by Waldo Peirce. The Hyperion Press, 1944.
Here is another vintage book, picked from the recent Friends of the Wichita Public Library Book Sale. It has no jacket and it's bound in plain drab green, but don't judge it by its cover! This volume of poetry, as stated inside, features works by "Longfellow, Stevenson, Eugene Field, Mother Goose, Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, Shakespeare, Christina Rossetti, Emerson, Tennyson and many others." It's a treasure trove of classic poetry, illustrated by painter Waldo Peirce.
Indeed, many of my personal favorites are here: "Wynken, Blynken and Nod," selections from Lewis Carroll's Alice books, Shakespeare's plays, and Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses, Edward Lear's nonsense rhymes and Christina Rossetti's sweet and simple verses. Mother Goose is well-represented, but so are Tennyson, Blake, and Longfellow. Enjoy!
|"Father William" from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
|Edward Lear and Christina Rossetti
|"A Boy's Song"
|"Wynken, Blynken, and Nod"
|"Ariel's Song" from The Tempest
|"The Lobster Quadrille" from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
|"The Owl and the Pussycat"
|"The Tiger"

Talented boy (12) must go to private school, judge rules
Father wanted to keep him in free system
A JUDGE has ordered that a high-achieving schoolboy be sent to a private school against his father's wishes.
The High Court intervened in the schooling of the 12-year-old boy, whose education is one of a number of divisive issues in a broken marriage.
After the parents could not agree on a school for their son, Mr Justice Gerard Hogan ruled the boy should be enrolled at a private school rather than attending a less prestigious state secondary school.
Mr Justice Hogan said both parents, who are joint guardians, agreed he was considerably talented and "ranked in the very highest percentile of scholastic achievements for his age".
The boy had been offered a place in a good state school that had a high level of academic achievements. Shortly after this, he was also offered a place in the private school, described as "one of the leading schools in the country", where places are highly coveted and which commands high fees.
The father had insisted a private education was beyond the family's means and the boy might feel isolated with children from wealthier backgrounds.
The Circuit Court ruled in favour of the father's wishes that the boy attend a state secondary school.
However, the matter came before the High Court after the mother, who is now separated from her husband, preferred the private school and appealed.
Mr Justice Hogan said that, after the Circuit Court ruling, the private school had offered the family a 50pc discount, and one set of grandparents had agreed to pay the other half.
Other sources of funding were highlighted, including a €30,000 trust fund for the boy and his sister, and an additional €16,000 savings fund due to mature in a few years.
The father had strongly objected to the use of this money to back up a private school education.
Directing the enrolment of the boy at the private school, Mr Justice Hogan told both parents they could come back to court if circumstances change.
He said, considering the boy's "scholastic aptitude", it would be appropriate he go to a school "best suited" for his talents.
The court ordered that there should be no publicaiton of boy's name, his parents' names, or the schools.

Speaking at the Council on Foreign Relations Wednesday, former Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan – regarded by many, because of his policy of holding down interest rates, as the architect both of the long boom of the late nineties and early noughties and the ultimate bust of 2007 – entered the debate on the deficit, stimulus spending and, most arrestingly, taxes.
Against the background of a political dialogue in Washington over the end of the Bush era tax cuts for the wealthy and an emerging possible consensus over tax cuts for average earners, Greenspan was unequivocal:
"I am in favour for the first time in my memory of raising taxes… I would love to see taxes go down, and I would hope that what we would do is we allow the tax cuts, the so-called Bush tax cuts, all to lapse as they will… on 31 December and then gradually bring the level of expenditure down."
In other words, reducing the deficit is the priority – and taxes should go up to achieve that. "We should not have tax cuts with borrowed money," Greenspan went on, warning of "very grave problems" if we do otherwise.
What do you think: is Greenspan right that the most important thing now is to get the $1tn deficit down? Or should the government give middle-class Americans a break and help the economy recover by putting some money back in their pockets?

Three Pride Players Earn CONCACAF 2016 Honors/
Orlando Pride forward Alex Morgan, goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris and defender Ali Krieger were all awarded 2016 CONCACAF end-of-year awards, it was announced today. Morgan won Female Player of the Year; Harris won Female Goalkeeper of the Year; and Krieger was named to the Best XI squad.
Morgan, 27, earns the honor for the second time after leading the U.S. Women's National Team with 17 goals, including six against the world's top-10 teams. The forward was named captain for the Pride's inaugural season, scoring four goals and one assist, including a highlight-reel 79th minute game-winner against Western New York on May 14. That goal, as well as her Sept. 7 tally at Sky Blue, would go on to win NWSL Goal of the Week.
Morgan is currently playing with French club Olympique Lyonnais and tallied an assist last week in her 72 minute debut for the Division 1-leading side. She will rejoin the Pride following the conclusion of Lyon's season.
QueensCast Sponsor Advertisement
Harris, 31, earns her second 2016 Goalkeeper of the Year recognition after enjoying an outstanding year for Orlando Pride and the USWNT. The 30-year-old made 62 saves, posted a goals-against-average of 1.33 and four clean sheets in 15 appearances for the Pride to earn NWSL Goalkeeper of the Year. Harris also won NWSL Save of the Week nine times and also became the first member of an expansion team to win an end-of-year league award.
The Satellite Beach, Fla., native made three starts for the U.S. WNT and earned her third career clean sheet on Sept. 15 against Thailand. Harris was an alternate on the U.S. WNT Rio Olympic team and was on the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup-winning squad.
Krieger, 32, was acquired by the Pride in November in a blockbuster trade with the Washington Spirit. The veteran defender led Washington to its third straight postseason appearance, eventually falling to Western New York in penalty kicks in the NWSL Championship match. Krieger played in 15 matches last season, scoring a goal during the regular season and another in the Spirit's semi-final victory over the Chicago Red Stars.
On the international stage, Krieger made her Olympic debut with the U.S. WNT on Aug. 6 in the team's 1-0 win over France. The D.C.-area native has 96 international caps on her resume, making 15 appearances in the red, white and blue last year.
The CONCACAF Awards honor players and achievements in CONCACAF-sanctioned tournaments and competitions involving the Confederation's national teams at all levels, including FIFA World Cups and World Cup qualifying. Performances also eligible for recognition include those achieved in professional club football leagues under CONCACAF's stewardship in North America, Central America and the Caribbean, as well as the Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League.
Voting on these awards was cast by Member Associations' men's and women's national team coaches and captains, media and fans. Harris and Krieger were previously named winners for the same awards in the fan-only vote.

Trump's Blank Check to Sisi
Egypt's president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, declared a three-month state of emergency last week after two suicide attacks on Coptic churches killed forty-four people. In response, President Trump tweeted that he was confident in Sisi's ability to "handle the situation properly," less than a week after he also vowed to rejuvenate Egypt's military and fight terrorism. To be an effective security partner, Trump must do more than just order military equipment. He must hold Sisi accountable for his governance and ensure basic security assistance provisions are met. Failure to do so will result in writing a blank check that backfires on U.S. interests.
Trump's warm embrace of Sisi is a serious departure from U.S. policy. In 2013, the Obama administration suspended partial aid to Egypt following Sisi's ousting of Mohamed Morsi, a democratically elected leader from the Muslim Brotherhood. The suspension failed to induce major policy changes by Sisi, but the United States regained leverage in its security assistance by adding several new stipulations, including the discontinuation of cash-flow financing, increased reporting on human-rights performance, and narrowing of military assistance to include counterterrorism, border security, Sinai security and maritime security.

Ahhh the snow. Unfortunately, it's the thing that I can't really compete with. It snowed about a foot here in Reading last night, and it's still going strong. The Corolla is good, but I'm not sure it's that good!
I'm not going to make it to Harrisburg tonight, and I'm really sorry about that - but I hope everyone stays home, warm and safe. Enjoy a cozy night in your own house, and I'll set something up again at the Crimson Frog soon.
Don't worry. I haven't let the day go to waste…I posted a new song, Keep Hope, as a free download on the homepage of kristengraves.com, so go get it now! All you need to do is join my mailing list and you're set. If you're already on my mailing list, you can just enter your e-mail address and you'll get the song. It's a preview of the project I'm working on, so I hope you like it! I'm hoping it will be done sometime this summer – I'll definitely keep you posted.
Talk to you soon, everyone.

Cave Cricket Removal Coupons NJby ALCO Pest Control
Are you looking for Cave Cricket Removal Coupons in NJ? ALCO Pest Removal Coupons is the Cave Cricket removal company in NJ for you!
Since 1995 ALCO Pest Removal Coupons has been providing Cave Cricket Removal Coupons in NJ for many satisfied clients.

Using environmentally friendly products and humane methods to get rid of Cave Cricket, ALCO Pest Removal Coupons will remove your unwanted Cave Cricket problem promptly.
Cave crickets in NJ favor cool, damp, dark places such as caves and under rocks, leaves and rotten logs. Because they are so used to being in the dark, they usually have poor eyesight, which causes them to become jumpier when outside forces come near them. If these vermin find their way into homes, it is usually through floor cracks or vents. They are drawn to dark, cool places, especially in the hot summer weather, such as basements, garages, storage areas and crawlspaces.
When indoors, they do not always reproduce because it is not in its natural environment; however, if the conditions in homes are favorable, the insect will find a space and reproduce. They tend to reproduce quickly when the conditions are favorable.
Their typical outdoor diet consists of organic foods such as berries and mushrooms, and animal droppings. If they infest homes, they will feed on objects around the house such as books, clothes, furniture, paper and rugs.
Larger animals, such as mice and rats, feed on these vermin, so if there are enough of them that invade homes, mice and rats may soon follow, causing more pest problems down the line.

Cajun Alfredo collaboration with Food Guru
I was approached by Food Guru to do a video of one of my recipes and I was super stoked! I love their videos and I love the girl, Ariel, who films the videos. She super chill and easy to talk to.
I had to figure out what the best recipe was to film, I wanted it to be something pretty, tasty, and something that makes people's mouths water. I knew what it would be! My Cajun Alfredo. I've been working on getting the recipe perfect since the last time that I posted about it.
It has more flavor and is easier to make.
Ariel was surprised when we were finished so early. Actually, I was super surprised too, I forgot how easy it is to make this wonderful alfredo.
Cajun Alfredo
Published 03/27/2017
- 2 Tbs Butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 pint milk or cream
- 1 yellow pepper sliced
- 1 red pepper sliced
- 3 tbs cajun seasoning
- 2 tbs Italian seasoning
- 1 tbs oregano
- 1/2 tbs rosemary
- 4 andouille sausages sliced
- 1 cup grated parmesan
- 1 lb fettuccine cooked to package directions
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Over a medium high heat melt butter, add in flour slowly
- Whisk in milk, peppers, and seasoning
- Allow to cook down for about 5 minutes
- Cook fettuccine to directions on package
- Add sausage, allow to cook down for 5 minutes, add parmesan
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Serve over fettuccine
You get the creaminess from a regular alfredo, but then you get a bit of spice from the peppers, seasoning, and andouille.
It is the perfect meal.
I love the video that Food Guru put together, it's gorgeous and really shows all the pretty colors of the alfredo!
Thank you, Debbie and Ariel, for creating something so beautiful!
Go check out their website for more great videos!
Saturday night I had the awesome opportunity to go to Flavors of Napa with Hetal from Milk and Cardamom.
I didn't get photos, I was too busy eating and drinking wine, but it was one of the most fun food events that I've been too in a while! I had so much fun with Hetal. And we got to experience food for the Napa Valley that we normally wouldn't eat.
Hopefully, there will be a few blog posts in the future about Napa!

Wow, so much has occurred since my last post. As you may have noticed, I have been really busy the last several weeks and have not had a chance to post. Recently I have started a new business venture with a colleague and that has consumed almost all of my "free" time. So much so that for the last two weeks leading up to the Hickory Knob sprint (and key build weeks for the Beach2Battleship Half Ironman) I have only gotten in 2 workouts. I got in a short 5 mile run and an 18 mile ride.
So I have had to alter my plans for the remainder of this year. I have decided to drop the Half Ironman from my calendar this year, and let Hickory Knob 2010 be the wrap up to my 2010 season. I actually feel better now that I have made that decision since I don't have to feel pulled in so many directions and feel like I am not putting in the effort required of each of my endeavors.
For the next week or so I will continue to take it easy on training, and then start to prepare for my first full marathon in January. Hopefully I continue to find a balance betwen family time, training, and the increased workload. Currently the plan is that in 3-6 months this new endeavor become a full time opportunity and I will no longer have to balance it with another full time job. We will see.

Fleetwood Mac - MTV News (08.08.1997)
LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM, Fleetwood Mac: There were a lot of hurtful things that happened from everyone. And it was always about trying not to feel those things. Over a period of time, you push it back and push it back and it has to come out at some point.
NICKS: Everything is on a new kind of a beginning, where we have said our I'm sorry's and everything is good now.
MTV: Band members swear this reunion happened for the music, not for the money. The reunion was spurred on by a Buckingham-Nicks collaboration on the "Twister" soundtrack, and by Mick Fleetwood's drumming on Buckingham's solo record. Clearly, this was a far happier event than their get together for the 1992 Clinton Inaugural.
NICKS: We did that because the President of the United States asked us to do that. That's probably the only man in the whole world that could've gotten us to do that. I did call Lindsey and say we have to do this, in the scheme of our lives. This is important.

League: Consecutive Wins For Tigers
By Daniel Scamozzi
An inspirational, come-from-behind eight-point win from Claremont against Peel Thunder in glorious conditions at Claremont Oval in round 20 has catapulted the Tigers into fourth position on the ladder ahead of the final round of the home-and-away season.
Despite trailing by 35 points in time-on of the second term, the Tigers staged a stirring comeback to kick nine of the last 11 goals of the game and prevail 12.8 (80) to 11.6 (72).
The triumph capped off a brilliant day for the club and 100-gamer Keifer Yu, who was chaired from the ground by captain Ian Richardson and Haydn Busher, before the Tigers belted out a rousing rendition of the club song.
It was then announced during post-game presentations that coach Darren Harris has signed a two-year contract extension.
A seven-goals-to-two second half saw the Tigers overcome Peel and record their eighth win of the season, with the hosts recording 80 more disposals, 38 more marks, 16 more inside 50s and three more scoring shots.
But it was the Tigers' never-give-in attitude, blue-collar work rate and mateship which separated them from Peel.
Speaking of work rate, midfielder Tom Ledger has taken his defensive efforts to a new level since returning from a three-game stint in the Reserves, and was Claremont's best player and kicked a team-lifting goal in time-on of the third term.
Defender Jack Lewsey (18 disposals, seven marks) starred in just his fourth game and won the players' player award for his inspirational efforts, while prolific midfielder Jye Bolton (29 disposals, six inside 50s, one goal) also performed strongly.
Full-back Anton Hamp (16 disposals, seven marks) continued his outstanding form, while joint vice-captain Ryan Lim (24 disposals, six tackles) worked tirelessly and drove the Tigers forward.
Tough midfielder Jared Hardisty and hardworking forward Alex Manuel kicked two goals apiece, while returning vice-captain Kane Mitchell (32 disposals) laid a team-high seven tackles.
Peel were best served by small defender Corey Morris and forward Hugh Dixon (three goals), but were overrun by a more determined Tigers outfit after half-time.
Mitchell and Eddie Simpson both came into the team which beat Perth seven days earlier for Matt Palfrey (concussion) and Oliver Eastland (ill) as the Tigers kicked to the southern end of the ground in the opening term with the aid of a breeze.
Busher kicked the opening goal of the game from a tight angle after being found by J. Hardisty, before Peel replied through Mitchell Crowden.
Bolton then restored the Tigers' six-point lead, before goals from Brayden Lawler and Luke Strnadica gave Peel a three-point lead at quarter-time.
Wayward kicking (2.5) and 13 fewer uncontested marks were both areas that the Tigers needed to rectify, with Harris imploring the team to get more physical and use more voice, but also praising the efforts from Lewsey and Ledger.
Three goals in five minutes from Dixon gave Peel a strong start to the second term and a 21-point lead, before Jack Beeck steadied for the Tigers.
However, Peel hit back through goals to Blair Bell, Strnadica (second) and Lloyd Meek, giving the visitors a game-high 35-point lead, before late goals to J. Hardisty and Simpson saw the Tigers close to within 23 points at half-time and would turn out to be pivotal in the context of the game.
A second goal to J. Hardisty gave the Tigers a perfect start to the second half before the in-form Tiger set up Manuel with a spearing pass and the No. 27 converted to give the team four consecutive goals.
A brilliant smother from Lachlan Martinis in defence epitomised the Tigers' appetite for the contest, before a dashing Ledger finished brilliantly to send the Tiger Army into a frenzy as the hosts closed to within six points.
A second goal to Lawler extended Peel's lead to 11 points at the final change, however, the Tigers had wrestled back the momentum and turned for home with a boisterous crowd behind them.
After kicking four behinds in the opening term, forward Tom Lee found his radar at just the right time after repeat efforts from Lim and pulled the Tigers to within five points, before Richardson put the hosts in front with an outstanding finish from 50m.
A booming finish from Manuel (second) extended the lead to eight points before second-gamer Jordan Clark ran into an open goal to kick his first in League ranks and send a heaving venue into raptures.
A late goal to Peel's Ben Howlett trimmed the lead back to eight points, however, the energetic Tigers wouldn't be denied, as a steadying mark in defence from Dylan Smallwood denied the visitors and the hosts recorded consecutive wins.
The Tigers will aim for three consecutive wins and to consolidate fourth position when they face Swan Districts at Steel Blue Oval in the final round of the home-and-away season.
CLAREMONT: 2 J. Hardisty, A. Manuel, 1 T. Lee, I. Richardson, J. Beeck, J. Bolton, T. Ledger, H. Busher, J. Clark, E. Simpson.
PEEL THUNDER: 3 H. Dixon, 2 B. Lawler, L. Strnadica, 1 B. Howlett, L. Meek, M. Crowden, B. Bell.
CLAREMONT: T. Ledger, J. Lewsey, J. Bolton, A. Hamp, R. Lim.
PEEL THUNDER: C. Morris, H. Dixon, L. Strnadica, B. Howlett, B. McGowan.

Hello, monday. The usual monday, that starts so slow and lethargic.. Well, monday for me seems like the same, didn't have any off day over the weekends had class so was pretty packed. . But it was super fruitful, because it was a pastry forum which many famous chefs from all over came to had classes in our academy, and got to absorb so much knowledge from them. It was a pretty good weekend after all..
Ah, but i'm here now
Just curious to know if anyone has ever felt like their body is stuck in the present, but mentally is always in the future. I always feel time is so limited, time passes so fast these days. It's like i have 101 things to do but i never really get it done. (maybe i'm just so freaking unorganized!) But time is passing so fast and its almost end of the year.. 2016 is well on its way.
& then it got me thinking.. (which i'm an expert at, if there is a degree for worrying and over-thinking things i would differently ace it !) of the future. and my plans. and my goals and of cause non-relevant BS in my life. Seriously, this year is such an eye-opener for me. I notice so much of myself and how much i have been lacking.
You know how people say you're blinded when your in a relationship? (say yes, even if you haven't heard the saying before! =.=) HAHA!
But it's true, officially being single for almost 9 months after 7 years.
I mean it's scary at first, and it doesn't get better...
months after months, you probably feel that loneliness creeping on you especially when you're all alone..
Not the most pleasant feeling, but on top of that life just gets crapper and crapper cause when you're a ball of negative emotions you probably attract exactly the same
But like how when everything bad is not always bad and not everything good is always good. (get it ? )
Through this 9 months, i got to understand myself a little better than the past 21 years of my life. (don't ask what is it, i'm not going to tell you obviously.. self refection is to kept to oneself!)
But i mean i finally have that time to reflect on myself and what is important in my life and where i stand rather than moving into the motions...
It's been so emotional and frustrating most of the time when you hit a wall, & i tell myself to care less but whenever this happens, i find myself back to square one when i'm like rock bottom and i really just want to curl up in a ball and draw circles on the floor.
Because i think rather than facing the problem i tend to just ignore and dodge it!
But i guess it just life ? you learn as much as you can and filter out things that don't matter. right ?
It's so weird how being in a different status in life makes you change so much on how you think. I can really say i'm not the same person i was in 2014. (i really hope the change is for the best!)
Exciting things to come i hope. end of the year and it's time to pull out that record book and see my progress in my resolutions. and to start planning for the new year goal !
Blabbing things on my blog cause it gives me some chance to express and distress myself in my own way, cause i have no one to talk to except this monitor in front of me.. ! (haha, sad but true !)
Reminding myself constantly to live in the moment, and learn to enjoy the good and bad days because it will only happen today no other days..

Luxury Rail Journeys
Travel across country by luxury train
There's nothing more romantic than racing across Africa on a classic train journey. Steeped in both history and luxury, South Africa's deluxe vintage trains will bring you breathtaking views, lavish sleeping carriages, decadent cuisine and a true taste of aristocratic travel at the turn of the century. They are atmospheric adventures into a bygone era and trips to treasure for a lifetime.
The Blue Train
The Blue Train is a true 5* experience through the heart of South Africa. Known as South Africa's 'Blue Jewel' it is famed throughout the land for its superb accommodation, second-to-none service and jaw-dropping scenery. Stepping aboard the Blue Train, you'll enter a nostalgic, lavish world where nothing is too much to ask. Simply settle into a window seat and watch the splendour of the Rainbow Nation unfurl before your very eyes. It's magical stuff.
Taking an overnight journey between Cape Town and Pretoria on the famous Blue Train is something unsurpassable. While the trip may last only one night, the memories will linger far, far longer. Kings and presidents have travelled in these esteemed carriages, filling each coach with decades of atmosphere and history. Today, the Blue Train is seen as the last word in luxury. It's an elegant, moving five-star hotel, with accommodation and service to match.
Travelling aboard the Blue Train, you can choose between a Luxury or Deluxe Suite. Each suite is meticulously adorned with authentic African features and fitted with only the finest bed linen. You'll find cool marble tiles as well as gold fittings in the en-suite bathrooms. Every single suite is steeped in sheer opulence, ensuring that you'll be treated to a night to really remember.
During the day, your suite will be converted into a comfortable lounge area. Then, as night draws in, your own personal butler will make up your bedroom and cater for anything else that you might need. It really is star service all the way aboard the Blue Train.
Evenings aboard the Blue Train are elegant and sophisticated affairs, with exquisite traditional menus conceived by top chefs, complemented perfectly by the very best of South African wines. As the hills, valleys, deserts and mountains of South Africa pass by your window, you'll be treated to a meal that will delight your tastebuds and to scenery that will knock your socks off.
Rovos Rail
For daydreamers and romantics, the Rovos Rail is rich with vintage elegance and dripping with decadence. It's a wistful, nostalgic journey where indulgence is no-holds-barred and pure sophistication is guaranteed. The moment that you step aboard, you'll understand exactly why Rovos Rail has gained an international reputation for a truly top-notch experience on the tracks. Let Africa unfold before you and luxury unfold around you.
The routes are even more breathtaking than the trains themselves, giving you a chance to glide gracefully from cosmopolitan Cape Town through the lush cane fields of Kwa-Zulu Natal or the beautiful desolation of Little Karoo desert. Real romantic adventurers can explore even further afield in Africa, travelling to the crashing wonder of Victoria Falls with a Big Five safari en-route, or passing between the towering sand dunes of Namibia.
Capturing the spirit of a bygone era, these are some of life's truly incredible journeys. The classic wood-panelled coaches whick you back in time to an era of privileged, decadent rail travel. The gracious colonial-style railway station, Capital Park, just north of Pretoria, serves as an elegant departure and arrival platform for each trip, adding to the atmosphere reminiscent of the golden age of rail travel.
Sleeping aboard the Rovos Rail is a sumptuous treat in itself, with first-class bed linen, perfectly plumped pillows and a full deck of creature comforts at your disposal. You can choose between twin or double-bedded Royal, Deluxe or Pullman suites. Each one of these is a stunning vision of vintage opulence, with mod cons blending seamlessly into the period Edwardian features.
All of the suites include a bar fridge, and an en-suite bathroom with either a Victorian bath and separate shower, or simply a shower.
During a journey aboard the Rovos Rail, you won't only sleep like a king - you'll eat like one too. The 3-course lunches and evening meals served on board are lovingly planned and meticulously prepared by a team of acclaimed chefs using fresh, local ingredients and traditional South Africa dishes for inspiration. Every course is elevated to the sublime by the addition of specially selected South Africa wines. In the mornings, you'll be treated to a cold breakfast buffet with hot dishes made to order.

Tara Bodong
Tara Bodong (Netherlands) is a non-profit charitable foundation which supports humanitarian projects in northern India and Nepal. The projects are initiated locally and overseen by the Tibetan lama, Geshe Pema Dorjee. The foundation is run by a group of international friends in Hilversum who together represent many different nationalities. We have various educational and professional backgrounds and expertise, but we share the same goal; to do something meaningful with our lives and to help others less fortunate than ourselves. We work voluntarily and try to keep the organisation as lean as possible by keeping overhead costs to a minimum, thus making sure that every euro donated goes entirely to our projects. The foundation was the brainchild of Cecilie (Weirum) Stuyvenberg and Martin Stuyvenberg and registered in February 2011. It is a sister organisation of the Norwegian charitable group, Tara Bodong (Norway) which is lead by Cecilie's mother, Siri Weirum.
Our mission is to structurally improve the living conditions of the local people in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal and help them break out of the vicious circle of hardship which often characterises their lives. We support small-scale humanitarian projects not only through financial donations but also by getting experts to train the villagers on how to develop sustainable communities.
The name Tara Bodong was originally chosen by Siri Weirum and is a combination of the words Tara and Bodong (more in next section). The name is also used by our sister organisation, Tara Bodong (Norway) which is independent of the Dutch foundation but which supports the same projects.
Tara Goddess of Peace and Protection
Goddess Tara is probably the oldest goddess who is still worshipped extensively in modern times. Tara originated as a Hindu goddess, a Great Goddess – the Mother Creator, representing the eternal life force that fuels all life. There are many embodiments of Tara but the best known are the White Tara and the Green Tara. The peaceful, compassionate White Tara gently protects and brings long life and peace. The more dynamic goddess, Green Tara is the "Mother Earth" and a fierce goddess who overcomes obstacles and saves us from physical and spiritual danger.
In Sanskrit, the name Tara means Star but she was also called She Who Brings Forth Life, The Great Compassionate Mother, The Embodiment of Wisdom, and the Great Protectress. Adopted by Buddhism, she become the most widely revered deity in the Tibetan pantheon.
In Buddhist tradition Tara is actually much greater than a goddess, she is a female Buddha – an enlightened one was has attained the highest wisdom, capability and compassion, one who can take human form and who remains in oneness with every living thing.
Bodong Tradition
Geshe Pema Dorjee was asked by HH the Dalai Lama to revive and promote the Bodong Tradition which is one of the oldest traditions in Buddhism. Although it is a fundamental part of Buddhism, most of the lineage, oral transmissions and instructions have nearly vanished. The Bodong Tradition, which claims direct descent from India was characterised by its own name and the adoption of the teachings contained in the masterpiece of Bodong Chokley Namgyal who established a number of rituals specific to the tradition.

Because I'm not tied down to a normal schedule, I travel with him a lot. Here, I'll post some photos of the action.
The most common destination, at least when I am out west being a gypsy with my Vagabond, is Utah.
The first time I mentioned being in Utah, the first response was, "Where? On purpose? Why?" Those also make up the bulk of the other reactions I get. Without seeing it, you might not have a clue about why Utah is so spectacular.
This, friends and neighbors, is why:
|Starvation Reservoir in Uinta, Utah. Ooooh. Aaaaah.
|Antelope. Yes, they do play.
|Mr. Vagabond in a very rare agreeable minute with the camera. He's cute! I can't remember the name of this place. But it's a dry riverbed situated on America's Loneliest Road, U.S. Route 50. It's either in Utah or Nevada. It was a long day. LOL!
|Little cabin near Ashley National Forest. Within minutes, we were in a completely different landscape covered with pine trees and tons of snow.
|Arches National Park
|Arches National Park. It was SO HOT that day!
|This is a typical day for Mr. Vagabond and me. The only reason we take main roads is to find dirt roads away from the rest of the world.
|Beautiful Aspens. The smell of the air is incredible. It's the cleanest, freshest air, and it smells like those dangly pine air fresheners wish they did.
|We were living in the middle of wildlife pretty much all the time. Awesome!
|She was the biggest doe I've ever seen. She was skittish, but let me get close enough for a few pics.
|Mr Vagabond thinks my fascination with cows is hilarious. Every time I see cows, which is constantly while in Utah, I have to take pictures. His reply? "You and them damned cows."
|She posed for us for about 10 minutes, turning this way, then that way, then looking back, then turning around to the other side. She knew she was pretty. Then she pranced off into the woods.

Mess with VICE and you're messing with Vic Zagami.
Vic is the security guard at VICE's Brooklyn headquarters and keeps a watchful eye on us content creators. A born-and-bred New Yorker, Zagami grew up in Brooklyn, has worked on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, in the restaurant industry, a "city job," and still owns a family bakery called Made in Heaven Cakes, which is operated by his wife and daughter.
For most of his adult life, Vic has been living in Staten Island, which he proudly reps in tonight's episode of VICELAND's The Pizza Show. Given his passion for food, Vic was the perfect guy to give host Frank Pinello a pizza tour of Staten Island and help him uncover some true gems of the outer boroughs.
Turns out that Frank and Vic were a match made in heaven, or Brooklyn, to be more accurate. "Frankie's a sweetheart," Vic recounts. "He's a Brooklynite and I'm a Brooklynite, from the same neighborhood." Together they ate an unspeakable amount of pizza and stayed up way past Vic's bedtime.
We caught up with Vic to see what he taught and what he learned during his six-hour Pizza Show shoot in a borough that remains misunderstood by outsiders.
Staten Island
"Once the Verrazano bridge was built, it opened the floodgates for all the Italians in Brooklyn to come over," Zagami says. "There were Italians in Staten Island before the bridge, but not like today. It's a great place, we have great stores and great places to go. We were shooting for six hours and we only had time for three spots, but there's plenty of spots that I like."
"It's nice, it's like a getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city and the apartments in Brooklyn and all of that. Then there's all the Italian salumerias, restaurants and pizza restaurants that are there."
Lee's Tavern
"We had the clam pie and the chicken with cherry pepper pie at Lee's Tavern. Lee's has been there for 80 years. It's a staple in the community. It's a family-run business and they really are famous for their clam pie, which is why I chose that. I like the texture of the pie and the people. People there are Staten Islanders and they go there all the time, they're regulars. There's so many pizzerias and every one has their own flair and their own pie; Lee's is the clam pie."
"I think that over the last ten to 15 years, pizza went from the traditional tomato and moozadell pie, it took a turn, like, who can make the most wildest and innovative pizza. For me, I enjoy trying new pies out and some of them are really delicious, but your traditional old school pizza, the margarita pie with fresh moozadell and nice tomato, is always the base for your pizza and then you take it from there. Some of them have no traditional tomato sauce, just moozadell, you even have dessert pies now, and breakfast pies at this place in the city called Rubirosa with eggs and prosciutto."
WATCH: The Pizza Show: Other Boroughs
Goodfella's Old World Brick Oven Pizza & Pasta Restaurant
"Goodfellas has been in business for 25 years. They're famous for their vodka pie. Andrew made us a pie the day they we were there and it was so, so good. The vodka pie has your traditional vodka sauce, which has tomato sauce with a little cream in it, and vodka, which burns off in the cooking process."
"Then, the toppings that they put on this vodka pie, it's like having pasta with the vodka sauce, which has peas in it and pancetta, or fresh prosciutto, and shaved parmesan and when it's made fresh like that, it's just really one of the best pizzas you could eat. So, I enjoy that every one in a while. Goodfellas, to me, is one of the top pizza places."
On the De Blasio fork controversy: "If you pick up the slice and it doesn't stand up, you can't eat it. You kind of need to cut it and eat it with a fork. That's when the pizza's not right. But over there [at Goodfellas], the pizza is right and the mayor started eating with the fork and they were like, 'What's going on?' This is, in Italian, an infamia! You can't do that, it's sin to eat a pizza with a fork."
Denino's Pizzeria and Tavern
"Denino's appetizers are really traditional Italian, but you don't find it a lot, like the scungilli [conch]. For the baby calamari, they use oil that's always fresh, just delicious. I love Denino's white pie and their sausage pie. They've been in business since the 40s and it's a really family-oriented spot. I bring my children there and everybody goes there with their family, it's a wonderful spot for that. Then, of course, right across the street is Ralph's ice cream which has been there since like 1930 for the Italian ice. It's a must."
"The pizzas here—I'm gonna say Brooklyn, Staten Island, and New York—are so traditional, so good."
The Shoot
"You know, I'm a pretty routine guy. Today, I'm going to go home, I already shopped for the dinner I'm going to cook, so I'll cook, then my wife comes home, we'll eat, and then talk a bit and maybe watch a little TV. I get up at 4:20 in the morning, but come 9 o'clock at night, I'm ready for my bed, and there I was, at Denino's and it had to be eight o'clock, and I was still eating pizza, calamari, chicken wings, scungilli, and I'm like, "Oh my God!"
"I had a lot of fun with the film crew and Frank and the places we went to. When we went to Ralph's, the girls serving the Italian ice were all teenagers and, oh boy, they saw the cameras and they lit up, like, 'We're going to be movie stars!' We really had fun. I had a lot of laughs. I'm passionate about all kinds of food, not just pizza. But it was pizza for the show and I enjoyed it immensely."
"I wish I had the time to go to all of my favorite pizza spots. People are like, 'Why didn't you go?' and I keep saying that I didn't have enough of the time. I could eat pizza all day, everyone loves pizza."
