The Ravens' season was played out in microcosm yesterday. There was more questionable officiating, another subpar effort by the secondary and some key injuries that hurt the team. Despite the setbacks, the 4-10 Ravens still had opportunities to win but blew another one.
What happened this time? Another fumble? Another blown big lead? An interception?
Try failing to gain 1 yard in three plays. One yard behind one of the biggest and best offensive lines in pro football that had just pushed the opposition all over the field. Stuffed.
Cincinnati (6-8) put up a goal-line stand in the last 44 seconds as the Bengals defeated the Ravens, 21-14, yesterday before 43,022 at Cinergy Field.
"It's pretty sad when you drive the ball downfield and don't get it in the end zone," said Tony Jones, the Ravens' starting left tackle. "Hey, there are no excuses. We went with the hosses on the offensive line and we didn't get it done."
"It's a case of two teams equally matched and the one that makes the bigger plays wins," said Ravens linebacker Eddie Sutter. "We're not getting the calls, so it's up to us to make our own breaks."
Trailing 21-14 with 3: 09 left in the game, quarterback Vinny Testaverde took the Ravens from their own 33 to the Bengals' 6.
On first down, Bam Morris ran up the middle for 5 yards to the 1. On second down, Morris ran up the middle where he was stopped initially, but a spin move eventually landed him in the end zone.
No touchdown. The Ravens were furious.
"The ruling is something you can't control, but after I made contact I spun off the pile and my shoulders landed in the end zone before my knees touched," said Morris, who finished with 117 yards rushing on 21 attempts. "There was no whistle. What does that mean? Touchdown."
Nope, third down, with 36 seconds remaining.
Morris ran up the middle for no gain. The game was stopped for several minutes as the Ravens attended to injured tackle Herman Arvie, and when play resumed, facing fourth-and-goal, the Ravens tried a play-action fake into the line as Testaverde looked for lineman Jonathan Ogden in the left corner of the end zone, a play similar to the one Ogden had scored on last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But Bengals defensive end John Copeland stuffed Ogden at the line of scrimmage and Testaverde had to throw to fullback Carwell Gardner in the left flat at the 3. Gardner was tackled by safety Sam Shade at the 1.
"We wanted to go to Jonathan," said Ravens coach Ted Marchibroda. "Jonathan was the first guy we thought would be open. They covered it. It was a new play we put in this week."
But the Ravens have thrown to their linemen three other times this season, all for touchdowns. Ogden and Arvie caught passes on tackle-eligible plays and James Jones caught one after lining up in the backfield.
It's rare for a team to get away with a play like that three times in a season, especially when it runs it the week before.
"They came out in the red set, with the split-back look, so we knew they were going to pass it," said Bengals linebacker James Francis.
Ogden said: "They wouldn't let me go. They were sure it was going to be a pass. They weren't sold on the play-action, and actually I had two people hitting me making sure I wasn't going to get free like last week. But the way they were playing that defense, if he had run to the left side he would have walked into the end zone."
The play would have been nullified if the Ravens had scored because right guard Jeff Blackshear was called for holding.
But it was symbolic of the Ravens' season in which they seldom get a break. For instance, the play that put the Ravens on the Bengals' 6 was a 28-yard sliding reception by wide receiver Michael Jackson across the middle.
The replay showed the ball bouncing before Jackson caught it, but also that Greg Myers did not tackle or touch Jackson, who got up and ran into an end zone for what should have been a touchdown, being it was ruled a catch.
"They gave me the ball at the 5, so who am I to argue with an official?" said Jackson. "But unless he [Myers] jumped over me and touched me with his knee, it should have been a touchdown. I don't believe he ever touched me."
Then there was the interception by Ravens cornerback Donny Brady that officials ruled was no good with 1: 35 left in the half. Cincinnati went on to get a 23-yard field goal from Doug Pelfrey with 21 seconds left to take a 10-7 lead into halftime.
"It didn't hit the ground, I caught it. I thought I had my first interception," said Brady. "I couldn't believe they took it away from me."
Marchibroda said he would have to take a look at the film before commenting on several of the calls. But he also will see a team that hasn't worked out its problems in the secondary despite improvement of the other units on defense in recent weeks.
The Bengals had only 93 yards rushing, but Jeff Blake completed 26 of 42 passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns.
During a 10-play, 71-yard drive in the second quarter, Blake completed four passes, including one of 14 yards to wide receiver Carl Pickens for a touchdown that tied the score at 7-7.
Then in the drive that resulted in Pelfrey's field goal before the half, Blake had completions of 12, 19, 8, 11, 8 and 12 yards.
Then in the final game-winning drive, Blake had completions of 27, 16, 5 and 6 before passing to tight end Tony McGee for a 1-yard touchdown off a play-action fake with 3: 09 remaining that -- with a two-point conversion run by Garrison Hearst -- put the Bengals ahead 21-14.
"We lost as a football team. I think the better team won today," said Marchibroda, coaching a team that has dropped 11 straight road games and has lost fourth-quarter leads in five of its last eight games. "We have no excuses. We had the opportunity to win the ballgame or tie it and we didn't."
The Ravens might have had a better chance if they had starting center Steve Everitt (partially torn pectoral muscle), receiver Floyd Turner (calf) and tight end Eric Green (knee), who were ruled out minutes before yesterday's game.
"Nope, we can't run away from it," said Jones. "There are no alibis. We didn't step up."
The Ravens' season was played out in microcosm yesterday. There was more questionable officiating, another subpar effort by the secondary and some key injuries that hurt the team. Despite the setbacks, the 4-10 Ravens still had opportunities to win but blew another one.

It is important that each person visiting the area use extra care to help protect the park. Careless use, or collection of rocks, live or dead plants, wildlife, or artifacts of prehistoric human use will deprive future generations of the opportunity to experience these attractions. Defacing, damaging, removing or digging for anything is prohibited by law.

Incompatible Gun Ballot Measures Lead In Washington State
Send a link to a friend
[April 16, 2014]
By Jonathan Kaminsky
OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) — Two
incompatible ballot measures on background checks for gun buyers in
Washington state enjoy majority support in a poll released on Tuesday,
but the one advancing stricter gun controls is more popular.
The competing measures, both slated to be on the ballot in
November in the Pacific Northwest state, are the only firearm
background check initiatives up for a vote this year in the United
They are the latest touchstones in a longstanding fight over
background checks on gun buyers. The debate hinges on whether their
expansion constitutes a common-sense approach to keeping guns away
from criminals and the mentally unstable or a first step in broader
restrictions on gun ownership.
Initiative 594 would require all firearm sales, including those at
gun shows and conducted online, to be predicated on a background
check of the buyer. Initiative 591, however, would disallow
background checks for gun purchases unless explicitly required by
the federal government.
Federal law exempts some gun sales from background checks, allowing
for what opponents have dubbed the gun-show loophole because sales
in that setting are exempted.
The results on the Washington state gun measures from the Elway
Poll, which is independent of the two campaigns, shows Initiative
594 enjoying 72 percent support, while the other measure has 55
percent in favor. The poll's margin of error is 4.5 percentage
points, and 504 registered voters participated.
When asked in a follow-up question whether background checks should
be expanded or unchanged, 62 percent of respondents said they
favored more restrictions.
[to top of second column]
Stuart Elway, whose firm conducted the poll, said gun-control
advocates need to clarify the difference between the measures while
their foes would benefit from muddied waters.
"The task for proponents of the status quo is to cultivate the
confusion, hope that both measures pass, then get them both
overturned in court after the election," Elway said in a statement.
The pro-background checks campaign has raised more than $1.6
million, including $50,000 from Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and
his wife, Melinda, according to campaign finance filings. The
anti-background check campaign has taken in just under half that
Colorado, which passed universal background checks into law last
year, and New York are among a handful of states with such
requirements in place.

Compare him to a video game plumber all day long; all it does is make Houston Texans defensive end Mario Williams tackle Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb harder.
Just because the Houston team's stadium regularly flashes a Super Mario Bros cartoon on its jumbotron doesn't mean it is OK to taunt Mario Williams with mushroom-related comments. Redskins fans found that out the hard way on Sunday, during a game that ended in a 30-27 overtime victory for the Texans. What fuelled William's three McNabb sacks?
"It was crazy," Williams said. "People were yelling at me right behind us on the bench, asking, 'Have I eaten my mushroom?' I listen to fans, and they have to realise that the stuff they say gets taken out on their quarterback.
What Mario is saying here is that the mushrooms worked, giving him the extra power needed to take down McNabb. I smell a fungal endorsement deal!

Isabel Marant and H&M team up for chic fall collection
Whether you've spent time people watching from a sidewalk cafe in Paris or you just read a lot of fashion magazines, you've seen (and probably coveted) the style of a Parisienne.
It's effortless yet glamorous, a little bit rocker and every bit chic. It can be difficult to recreate, and most of all, expensive.
In walks Isabel Marant.
The French designer is a favorite of top models and fashion industry influencers, and she's teaming up with affordable retailer H&M for a sure to be knockout fall collection, aptly titled "Isabel Marant Pour H&M."
"I aim at creating something real, that women want to wear in their everyday lives, with a certain carelessness, which I think is very Parisian: you dress up, but do not pay too much attention and still look sexy," Marant said in a release.
The collection, set to hit about 250 H&M stores nationwide Nov. 14, will include clothing and accessories for women and teens, and will also be Marant's first time designing menswear.
We're revamping our Comments section. Learn more and share your input.

Think you've seen it all?
This is apparently a Soviet GAZ-66 with a Porsche 924 mounted on top of it to make quite possibly the most hammered Eastern European vehicle ever created.
This was at the 2010 Klaperjaht offroad competition in Estonia, andhere's the description of the vehicle, thanks to Google Translate.
Võistlemas on lätlased oma masinaga, kus Gaz-66 raami peale on pandud Porche 924. Võistkonnaliikmed on Andris Grinfelds, Ricards Grinfelds ja Aleksandrs Murajs.
Latvians are competing in their machine, where the Gaz-66 is placed onto the frame members of the team's Porsche 924 Andris Grinfelds, Ricards Grinfelds and Alexander Murajs.
My mind is blown. I have no more words.

It is one of the biggest, most interesting and most happening cities on earth. And with the Olympic Games returning, now's the ideal time to rediscover London in all its polish, pomp, grit and glory.
Author Joe Keohane Photography Richard James Taylor
DAY TWO | Aghast at the amount of food you ate yesterday, you opt for coffee and oranges in your suite. Then, after having your bags sent over to your next hotel, Blakes in South Kensington, you strike out for a constitutional along the Victoria Embankment to Westminster Pier, in the shadow of Parliament. Here your River Bus to the historic district of Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, awaits. The 20-minute boat trip is lovely, providing a duck's-eye view of St. Paul's, the Tower Bridge and the Gherkin.
Having docked in Greenwich and spent some time wandering the pastoral grounds of the grand Old Royal Naval College, you find that, against all odds, your stomach is again clamoring for sustenance. You step into the modish eatery Inside, and order cream of broccoli soup with Stilton croutons, followed by pan-fried cod with buttered new potatoes and baby carrots, which puts a bit of steel in the old sea legs.
Outside, you procure a Brazilian churro and a "Mind the Gap" tea towel at the bustling Greenwich Market, then pay a visit to the Royal Observatory, a glorious shambles of 17th-century domes and cupolas, where men in codpieces once charted the heavens. In the cobbled Meridian Line Courtyard, you do what everyone who comes here does: straddle the line separating the Western and Eastern hemispheres.
Mind blown, you descend the stairs at the observatory's domed entrance to the Greenwich foot tunnel, which passes under the river and delivers you to the Isle of Dogs, where you wave down a taxi and head a few miles north, to the East End. The tide of bohemianism, and subsequent gentrification, is sweeping eastward across London, and this neighborhood, long a destination for newly arrived immigrants, is in something of a sweet spot. You start at Shoreditch and wind through its narrow lanes lined with cafés, restaurants, galleries and independent shops until you hit Brick Lane, where the scent of countless curry houses hangs in the air.
You turn left into an alley alongside a former brewery, and come upon Café 1001. Coffee secured, you head farther in and discover Rough Trade East, the record shop of the eponymous rock label; it has, as you'd expect, a superlative punk collection. While you're there, a Londoner insists you check out The Hope & Anchor, a pub in the Angel district that once served as the heart of the London rock scene. It's a plan. But not before an early dinner. Obviously, given where you are, dinner will be Bangladeshi.
You duck into Aladin, self-proclaimed "Curry King of Brick Lane," and order the Aladin Special Masala. It's delicious, smoky, sweet and spicy, totally unique. You try to get the waiter to tell you what's in it, but he shakes his head. "Is that cinnamon?" you demand. He won't say. You press. He offers to give you the recipe for any dish on the menu, "but not the Special Masala." You relent.
A quick Tube trip takes you to Angel, and The Hope & Anchor. You step inside the handsome old Victorian boozer and call for a pint of good real ale, served at room temperature. The list of bands that have played this bar strains credulity: The Clash, Joy Division, The Police, U2. Acts still play here, and even though the bartender expresses mild reservations about the newly added chandeliers and decadent black fleur-de-lis wallpaper, the joint still seems pretty rock 'n' roll. You end the night like this, sipping ale, furtively monitoring the floorboards for ancient vibrations.

A Sydney man who beat and stabbed his wife of 28 years in a frenzied attack when she asked for a divorce has been found guilty of her murder.
The jury in the NSW Supreme Court trial of Dragi Maglovski returned the guilty verdict on Monday after just two hours of deliberations.
The 60-year-old had pleaded not guilty to murdering Rosa Maglovski, 48, on October 8, 2011 on the grounds of provocation.
The court heard he pleaded guilty to manslaughter but the plea was rejected by the Crown.
The couple had been sleeping in separate bedrooms for more than eight months when, on the afternoon of her death, Ms Maglovski told her husband she wanted a divorce, the court heard.
Maglovski "simply exploded", beating and stabbing her in their Hurstville home in Sydney's south as their adult son lay oblivious upstairs, crown prosecutor Paul Leask said in his opening address.
Maglovski told police he then dialled triple zero "because I already finish everything, done, I done the job".
Ms Maglovski suffered extensive injuries, including stab wounds to the throat and upper torso and facial fractures.
Defence barrister John Spencer said Ms Maglovski had insulted and degraded her husband in front of their two adult children by asking him to swap the matrimonial bed for a couch downstairs.
After the verdict was handed down, Justice Robert Beech-Jones adjourned the matter for a sentence hearing on Thursday.

#neverliberal #nevermarxist
Nelson W. Winbush, a Black and respected member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, as a child accompanied his grandfather Louis Napoleon Nelson to United Confederate Veteran Reunions. Private Nelson was a Black Confederate who saw service during the War Between the States Battles of Shiloh, Lookout Mountain, Brice's Crossroads and Vicksburg—as a soldier and served as chaplain in the 7th Tennessee Cavalry, under Lt. General Nathan Bedford Forrest.It should be also noted that after the War Between the States, Bedford Forrest returned home with the 'free' black men who fought with him. Sixty-five black troopers were with the General when he surrendered his command in May 1865. Forrest said of these black soldiers, "No finer Confederates ever fought."
We have but one flag, one country; let us stand together. We may differ in color, but not in sentiment. Many things have been said about me which are wrong, and which white and black persons here, who stood by me through the war, can contradict.
I just assumed that this could fall under Politics and Hot Topics. Some things you 'didn't' know ..Some people have called General Forrest an early advocate for Civil Rights.Forrest's speech during a meeting of the "Jubilee of Pole Bearers" is a story that should be told. Gen. Forrest was the first white man to be invited by this group which was a forerunner of today's Civil Rights group. A reporter of the Memphis Avalanche newspaper was sent to cover the event that included a Southern barbeque supper.Miss Lou Lewis, daughter of a Pole Bearer member, was introduced to Forrest and she presented the former general a bouquet of flowers as a token of reconciliation, peace and good will. On July 5, 1875, Nathan Bedford Forrest delivered this speech:In part:Nathan Bedford Forrest again thanked Miss Lewis for the bouquet and then gave her a kiss on the cheek. Such a kiss was unheard of in the society of those days, in 1875, but it showed a token of respect and friendship between the general and the black community and did much to promote harmony among the citizens of Memphis.This year, 2012, is the 107th anniversary of the dedication of a General Forrest Statue in Memphis, Tennessee.http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/48023
Howdy mrclose. I just realized that I know you from that "other" board.
Here are some more things you probably didn't know....Nathan Bedford Forrest (Aka "the very Devil")....participated in the massacre of about 300 Black Union troops at fort Pillow. Other than that He was one of the main architects of the KKK....I hardly think this makes him anything other than what he really was....A terrorist.Billy
My apologies for placing CPR on this post, but it deserves one last comment. NBF was probably the finest general the South fielded during the Civil War (IMHO). It is tragic that his monument has been defaced and the object of ridicule and scorn by the utopian fascists as well as by reconstructed Southerners who wish to give him up for our collective sin. No general better personified leadership (other than Lee) than NBF on the field of battle.I asked a former West Point graduate if NBF's comments and idea on combat were taught at the academy. "Oh heavens, no. The leadership there see him as a bigot and the officers who teach there have said as much."
Well.....that may be why some of their graduates are not as good as they should be. From my experience and those I served with...we liked the ROTC officers the best.West Pointers were too carreer oriented in my opinion and could get you killed in some stupid attempt to enhance their career.http://www.stormingmedia.us/31/3171/A317113.html

How to save file to Sedoric dsk from assembler, but to change the default load address?
I tried to use the 'Execution address' as additional parameter - it works as expected, but this is not my case .
To be more specific here is the problem:
I want to save memory area $9C00-$9CFF as binary executable file 'TEST', but when executed it need to be loaded at address $1000.
I.e. typing: !TEST - need to load the file at $1000 and jump to $1000.
Here is the code I use:
Used variables:
Code: Select all
; -- sei ; disable interrupts
lda _sed_fname
sta $e9 ; Filename lo
lda _sed_fname+1
sta $ea ; Filename hi
jsr _dosrom ; enable OverlayRAM
lda #$00
jsr $d454 ; verify filename and copy it to BUFNOM
;Setup Areas
lda _sed_exe_begin
sta $c052 ; Start Address Lo
lda _sed_exe_begin+1
sta $c053 ; Start Address Hi
lda _sed_exe_end
sta $c054 ; End Address Lo
lda _sed_exe_end+1
sta $c055 ; End Address Hi
lda _sed_exe
sta $c056 ; Execution Address Lo
lda _sed_exe+1
sta $c057 ; Execution Address Hi
lda #$00 ; #$00 - SAVEO, #$C0 - SAVEU
sta $c04d
lda #$00 ; 0 here means no params
sta $c04e
lda #$41 ; file type - program and auto
sta $c051
jsr $de0b ; set LGSAL0 and call XSAVEB
jsr _dosrom ; disable Overlay RAM
; -- cli ; re-enable interrupts
ldx _doserr ; Get result (low byte)
lda #0 ; Get result (high byte)
_sed_exe_begin, _sed_exe_end - memory area to be saved
_sed_exe - address to be jumped to when loaded
This routine works, but it loads the file at $9C00, and jumps to $1000 - which obviously lead to crash...
I looked in 'Sedoric 3.0 a Nu' - but my French is to far from usable.
Any ideas and help are highly appreciated!

What's your favorite childhood memory on the farm? Send me your story at email@example.com to win fun prizes! Link here for contest details. Contest ends at NOON, today, June 10, 2009. Don't miss your chance to win!
There is a Facebook group that is taking the social networking world by storm. With 6,858 members to date, I Love Farmers...They Feed My Soul is one of the most popular resources for consumers to learn about where their food comes from. If you're on Facebook, this group is a great opportunity to begin a dialogue with people from around the world to help answer questions about food production, animal care and life as a rancher. This group is the brainchild of several dynamic individuals at Cal Poly, and I'm proud to be a member of this group. I think you should join, too!
About the group:
I Love Farmers...They Feed My Soul is dedicated to hardworking American farmers! I Love Farmers has launched a campaign to support the American family farmer. While others are free to join, the effort is dedicated to getting young consumers 14 to 24 years old (rural and urban) into a conversation about where their food comes from and how it is produced. The conversation won't always be politically correct and well, that's o.k. We need to let everyone know how important family farmers are to our health, our economy, our environment and our national defense! You 'll be seeing and hearing more about I Love Farmers! This effort is not bound by narrow interests of individual commodities or industry segments (frankly, that has been the problem in communicating agriculture's message.) I Love Farmers supports ALL farmers and RANCHERS for that matter! Join us in spreading the word!
You can follow this group on Twitter or show your support by purchasing apparel at their website. Cheers to this organization and their hard work in supporting the agriculture industry!
BEEF Daily Quick Fact: Individuals who are somewhat or very favorable toward U.S. poultry and livestock producers rose from 69 percent in 2008 to 78 percent in 2009, according to the 2009 National Ag Image Survey. (Source: Discussion Boards at I Love Farmers...They Feed My Soul)

Dinner time again folks! This Wednesday,January 18, 2012
It looks like we may actually have a bit of winter finally. If mother nature decides to snow on Wednesday, I would suggest staying home. Just not worth it.
As before, I plan on being there shortly before 6pm in order to take advantage of happy hour prices on food. Otherwise, hope to see you there around 6:30 or whenever you can make it. For those that want to take advantage of happy hour, make sure you beat the 6 pm deadline. In months past, the 6pm time was mushy, last month they were sticky about the time.
Just to clarify, this is not a club dinner. This is just an excuse to eat out and talk bikes with like minded people. No membership in any group required.
What: Portland Metro BMW Bike Dinner
When: Third Wednesday of each month
Time: Around 6:30pm (or just before 6 to take advantage of Happy Hour)
Where: Pyramid Breweries McTarnahan Taproom
2730 NW 31st Portland Oregon, 97210

I had an interesting conversation with an up and coming author recently who has a very specific vision. She wants to cut out any potential for a "middle-man" to distract her readers from finding and buying her works. She eventually even wants to run her own publishing business directly from her website starting with her own titles.
This would enable her to maximize her profits and directly tap into her fan-base while helping other aspiring authors share their works too. The problem is she didn't have an easy means of distribution, eBook creation, or order fulfillment. She needed someone to help her do all the heavy lifting on the backend, so she could focus on creating a successful business. That's where Lulu and our Open Publishing APIs (Application Programmer Interfaces) come in.
What is an API?
An API is kind of like a Lego® block that makes a website or application work. All the "blocks" that make Lulu's great self-publishing site function are available to the public so that anyone can use them no matter their needs or their market. With Lulu APIs, authors, publishers, businesses, and developers alike can take whatever pieces they need from Lulu and use them on their own websites to instantly produce, manage, and sell content. The best part? They are absolutely free.
Suddenly this up and coming author has a completely customized publishing solution to start that business she dreams about. She can sign up other authors but can relax while she uses Lulu's global print-on-demand network to cut on shipping costs. She gets to offer her authors distribution through Lulu's retail partners like Amazon, iBookstore(SM), and NOOK Bookstore – where many readers already shop. It's all under her own imprint and designed for her to be more profitable than ever before possible.
Self-Publishing and ecommerce
Lulu is constantly rolling out new APIs too. Coming soon Lulu's eCommerce APIs will be released for general availability, enabling customers to buy directly through an author or business's own website. Also be on the look out for general availability of our Creator Revenue APIs which allow a business or imprint to easily keep track of an author's earnings.
Indeed, the Lulu APIs are empowering people and organizations – like our friends at campus bookstores across the nation – to grow and monetize content in exciting new ways while diversifying revenue and expanding their businesses – all under one roof. Be sure to check back in the coming weeks for some more exciting news about how our APIs are helping to break down even more barriers for authors, for businesses, and for everyone in between.
Since 2002, Lulu has powered the knowledge-sharing economy by enabling creators in more than 225 countries and territories to publish over 2 million books. Lulu's industry-leading tools and global network of print facilities provide creators with the resources to succeed on their terms.

Twin Creeks to liquidate; solar firm got $26 million in loans from state of Mississippi
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) � Mississippi taxpayers may have only an empty Senatobia building and some solar panel equipment to show for nearly $26 million in loans provided to Twin Creeks Technologies.
The California-based solar technology firm is liquidating, and a company that bought Twin Creeks' assets does not intend to take over its agreement with Mississippi. The contract called for Twin Creeks to invest at least $132 million and create at least 500 jobs.
The Mississippi Development Authority's Kathy Gelston says officials are negotiating for Twin Creeks to repay aid above the value of the building and equipment.
Lenders sold Twin Creeks' technology for $10 million to GT Advanced Technologies of Nashua, N.H., in mid-November. Gelston says Twin Creeks received about $3 million from the sale, but says there are creditors beyond Mississippi.

French Press Coffee
Hey coffee lovers! I thought it would be lovely to round out my coffee tutorials today with my first love. The place where my coffee-making journey began. The method I still use at least once a week, especially when pressed (get it?) for time.
I'm talking about French press coffee.
I've actually had my trusty ol' Bodum French press (pictured above) for going on 10+ years now. And let me tell you, it has literally served me well. I have made literally thousands of cups of coffee with it over the years. But while they were good from the start, I have to say that they have gotten better over the years as I have learned even more tips and tricks for making a stellar cup of French press coffee. So if you're looking to kick up your brew, hopefully this tutorial can provide a few new pointers. And if you're brand new to coffee brewing, French press is a perfect place to start.
Alright, let's get to brewing!
How To Make French Press Coffee | 1-Minute Video
I've said many times before, and I'll say it again. The best place to begin with any kind of coffee is with…good coffee. As in, good beans.
Buy good ones. Buy them whole. And then for French press, grind them immediately before using them to a coarse (not a fine) ground. They should be about the consistency of breadcrumbs.
(If possible, I highly recommend using a burr grinder, which will produce much more consistently-sized grounds. The more fine grounds you have in the coffee, the murkier it is. But that's also being picky. Any grinder that gives you the option of a setting for fine or coarse ground will work.)
Then measure out the amount of coffee you would like to use. Everyone has different opinions here about their preferred coffee-to-water ratio. I like to weigh my beans before grinding them, and use 52 grams per 4 cups of water. (Which equals 8 cups of coffee, because a cup/serving of coffee actually equals 4 ounces or 1/2 cup. Confusing!) But if you don't have a scale, that is the equivalent of about 1/2 cup of (whole) beans before they are ground. So for different sizes of French presses, that would mean:
- 8 cup* French press = 4 cups of water = 1/2 cup (52 grams) whole beans
- 4 cup French press = 2 cups of water = 1/4 cup (26 grams) whole beans
- 2 cup French press = 1 cup of water = 2 tablespoons (13 grams) whole beans
- 1 cup French press = 1/2 cup of water = 1 tablespoon (7 grams) whole beans
*Again, don't get confused by the "cups" thing. If you purchase a French press that says it's an 8-cup French press, that means it will hold about 4 cups of water, and thus produce 8 (4-ounce) servings.
The first step is to heat your water to boiling. Once it reaches a boil, pull it off the heat and let it rest for 45 seconds. (If the water is still boiling, it will be too hot and scorch the beans, resulting in a burnt taste.) Ideally you want the water to be 195 degrees F, but I never measure.
Add the ground up coffee to the bottom of your French press. Then use a kettle to pour enough water in to just wet the beans. (I love my Hario kettle with its thin and aim-able spout, but any kettle or even a measuring cup with a spout will work for pouring the water onto the beans.) You want all of the beans to be saturated, so if your kettle doesn't have a pour spout that allows you to aim well, you can give them a quick 3-second stir to disperse the water evenly.
Wait 1 full minute for the coffee to puff up and "bloom".
Then, immediately pour in the rest of the water, give the grounds a quick stir, add the lid on top, and let the coffee brew for 3 more minutes. (So just to be clear, the total brewing time is 4 minutes.)
*Some people prefer to let the coffee brew uncovered in order to let it "bloom" even more. And others also recommend "skimming" the grounds off the top of the coffee after the 4 minutes have passed, before the next "plunging" step. I have tried both before and don't taste a huge difference, but it's worth a try if you're curious.
Once the total 4 minutes are up, gently (not forcefully) push the plunger down until it firmly reaches the bottom.
Then immediately pour and serve!
Actually, even if you're not going to drink the entire batch at once, go ahead and pour the remaining coffee into another thermal container to keep until you're ready to drink it. (If the finished coffee sits in there with the beans for too long, it will get stronger and more bitter as it sits. Not good.)
If you find that the coffee is too strong to your liking, I would recommend using slightly less beans in your coffee-to-water ratio, or brewing the coffee for 30 seconds less.
If you find that the coffee is too weak, then increase your coffee-to-water ratio (or some people swear by a 5- or 6-minute brew time).
If you find that the coffee is too bitter, well, that's my one complaint about French press. I still love it, but it definitely seems to be the method that produces some of the most comparably bitter coffee. If that's not your thing, I highly recommend trying cold brew and/or pour-over coffee. Cold brew is virtually bitter free because hot water never touches the beans. And with pour-over, the hot water goes through the beans quickly. The brand of coffee you choose may also affect the bitterness or (my least favorite) a "burnt" taste, due to their roasting methods.
All that said, if your inner Goldilocks feels like the coffee is just right, then fantastic.
Coffee cheers to you!
French Press Coffee
Learn how to make perfect French Press Coffee with this easy recipe and tutorial!
- 4 cups water
- 1/2 cup (32 grams) good-quality whole coffee beans
Heat water in a kettle to boiling. While the water is heating, grind your beans to a very coarse grind. Add the beans to the bottom of a French press.
Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat and wait for 45 seconds. Pour enough water in the French press to wet the beans. Give them a quick stir, if needed, so that they are all evenly saturated with the water. Wait exactly 1 minute.
Pour in the remainder of the water, then give the coffee yet another quick stir so that the water is evenly dispersed. Cover with a lid and wait 3 minutes. (Thus, the total brewing time will be 4 minutes, including stir time.)
Once time is up, gently press down the plunger until it is nice and tight on the bottom. Pour out the coffee immediately. (And if there is leftover coffee in the French press, pour it out into a different container to store until you're ready to drink it.)
*Just as a reminder, coffee grinds are not good for garbage disposals.

Great tutorial! We love French press coffee over here, but rarely take the time to do it. The automatic machine rules my life.
Thanks Ali, I really enjoyed this post!
Also, loving your mug! :)
I love my French press! I recently switched to using ever morning for my coffee. Great tutorial!
What do you do with the used coffee grinds? I try my best to clean the press well, but way too much goes into my disposal. Any suggestions or ways to put them to good use?
My husband bought me a Bodum for my birthday and I am, in a word, obsessed! Best cup of coffee I've ever had. But this tutorial is great, I never knew about letting the grounds bloom. Trying it tomorrow morning!
Also, avoid French Roast if you don't like the burnt flavor – they basically burn the beans for that roast (in fact, I'd take it a step further and go for medium roasts not dark – I used to always buy dark and then I read something about how it makes the coffee taste burnt, I switched to medium roast and I've been SO much happier).
My husband loves french press coffee and I am considering buying him a french press for his birthday in October. This tutorial will really come in handy. Thanks for sharing!
I've been doing it all wrong!!
Ok I have definitely been doing some things wrong but this helps SO much! I just started grinding my own beans so I'm excited to tweak my process a bit.
Great tips, Ali! Nothing is better than a good cup of French Press. Oh and I really need that mug (as a 34 yr old single lady, it's my motto for sure!!). Happy Friday!
I had never tried French Press coffee until I read Cleo Coyle's FRENCH PRESS, a Coffehoue Mystery. It had tips included and made me curious. So I tried and now love my coffee that way. Enjoyed your helpful tips and love your French Press and mug.
I have been curious about French Press for a long time, even though I'm not really a coffee drinker (I just started back having a cup of decaf in the morning and can't do caffeine). Now that I understand about the number of cups the French press makes, I understand the 12 cup Mr. Coffee I used to have that never made 12 cups…
I've tried cold brew coffee before(and absolutely love it!), but never French press… I might have to think about investing in a Bodum, but will have to convince my husband that another coffee device is needed(he doesn't drink coffee). I use my coffee grounds to make your coffee sugar scrub.
I love everything about this!
This is helpful!! We just bought a French press a month ago, and are already in love. I appreciate the tips, like letting the boiled water sit for 45 seconds, and then letting the coffee "bloom" in the press before filling with water. I also did NOT know that the used grounds are bad for the garbage disposal….how do YOU clean it out after? We've been reliant on the disposal, so this is bad news….
So when you say 8 cups water in the recipe is that actually 8 legit cups or 8 four ounce cups
This post makes me want to break out my french press tomorrow morning! It's been sleeping in the cupboard for far too long. Also, your photography is amazing as usual. Thanks for the great tutorial!

In order to offset the bitterness, you should sprinkle a bit of kosher salt over the grounds before you pour any water over them.
This is a really helpful post, Ali! I'm going to try these steps with my French press tomorrow morning. I'm looking forward to that cup of coffee!
This post just eradicated some repetitive mistakes that I always made when creating french press coffee. Thanks for this post Ali!
I used microwave oven heated water, it just doesn't work at all… so I gave up using it in my office, now am looking a espresso kettle, or a electric espresso single cup kettle. At the mean time I'm buying my coffee at the coffee shop of my workplace.
I wanted to take a minute to say thank you! On our recent trip to Iowa to get married we became obsessed with French Press Coffee. I purchased a Tea Pot and a Grosche French Press. I watched lots of You Tube Videos and read some other blogs but I felt so over whelmed with the whole process. Your Blog about this has taken the mystery out of it and now I am a French Press Queen. I couldn't let a another French Press Sunday Morning go by without telling you Thanks!!!
Great tips, but I have a question. I had my Bodum for about 3 months until one day when I noticed quite the amount of grounds in my cup after I had pressed and poured. Now I have to use a tiny sieve (I imagine it was meant for tea) when pouring from my french press to my cup. I have no idea what happened and I have tried unscrewing the parts of the plunger to see but there is no hole. any idea? :/
Thanks for this tutorial, Ali! I registered for a French Press because I know it's amazing but didn't know how to use it properly lol…will also be adding a burr grinder to the list! :) Thank you!!
I've found (thanks to Alton Brown) that adding a bit of salt to the coffee grounds before pouring your water over greatly reduces any bitter taste!
Normally, I wouldn't comment on a post- but after making the perfect cup of French press coffee I just have to thank you for helping me up my French press game! The coffee to water ratio was perfect for me. Thank you!!
Nice directions I had a great cup of coffee this morning.
Thanks, this was so helpful for beginner like me. :)
Pingback: What Kind Of Coffee Is Used In A French Press | Informantion
Wow this was a perfect article for the French press! I just started using my French press and sometimes it's too light, so this definitely helps me with my troubleshooting! Thank you, Ali!
Worked perfectly. No more coffee shops for me and I can have a great cup of coffee anytime.
Quick question. Does the brand of press really matter functionally? If so, why?
Slowly pour the hot water over the grounds, being sure to saturate them all, leaving two inches of space at the top of the carafe. (Note: it's typically recommended to use about 10 Tbsp of coarse grounds for an 8-cup press.)

Thanks for this wonderful post,i have learnt some very nice things from this post and surely i will adapt them.
Could you please tell me that which Coffee Maker you are Using?
I may try adding the blooming step. We typically just pour in the hot water, stir, and steep for 5 minutes.
Thank for this easy tutorial! i just love your recipes and blog! so relatable and uncomplicated. THANK You! :)
This is a very helpful article! Thanks for sharing
I need this latte in my life! Especially with cinnamon! So comforting!
Wonderful post, Ali.
You explained it really well with amazing pictures and video.
Do you really french press all time? I'm so lazy to make a french press coffee because it's too slow when compared with my automatic machines.
Thanks again,

WASHINGTON — An intern who cared for Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords after she was shot in the head and the family of a 9-year-old girl who was the youngest of six people killed in the same shooting are among more than 20 people scheduled to sit with first lady Michelle Obama for President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night.
Giffords' husband, astronaut Mark Kelly, was invited but not expected to join them as he will remain in Houston where he is based and where his wife is receiving medical care.
Giffords and 18 others were shot at a meet-and-greet the congresswoman was holding for constituents outside a grocery store in Tucson. A federal judge, a Giffords aide and 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green and three others were killed. Thirteen others were wounded.

The man being held in the shootings, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, pleaded not guilty Monday to federal charges of attempting to kill Giffords and two of her aides.
Intern Daniel Hernandez was hailed as a hero after the shooting. The 20-year-old University of Arizona student rushed to her side and applied pressure to her wounds until medical personnel arrived.
When he spoke Jan. 12 at a national televised memorial service in Tucson, Hernandez pointedly shunned the hero label. But Obama, who followed him to the microphone, politely disagreed and assured Hernandez that he was, in fact, a hero.
Hernandez sat next to Obama during the service. Kelly also attended the memorial and sat beside Mrs. Obama.
Hernandez, John and Roxanna Green and their son, Dallas, and Giffords' trauma surgeon, Peter Rhee, a Navy veteran and military surgeon who is chief of trauma at the University Medical Center in Tucson, also sat with the first lady.
Among her other scheduled guests, according to the White House and The Associated Press:
Gary and Robert Allen of Rochester Hills, Mich. Their family business, Allen Brothers Inc., with the help of $500,000 from the Recovery Act, retooled half of their manufacturing facility in order to manufacture solar shingles and launch a whole new business, Luma Resources.
