Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Friday, July 17, 2009
It's another episode of Good Bite, this time our topic was shrimp, which is such a biiig….wiiiide…topic! I continued my lovefest with Dr. BBQ and chose a recipe from one of his cookbooks, Grilled Shrimp with Chili Lime Butter, a seriously easy yet cool-looking recipe because you serve the chili-lime butter in a shot glass! Genius.
Since it is in a shot glass, I wonder if a splash of tequila would be appropriate in the chili-lime butter? Well, if not in the butter, then at least a shot of tequila for the chef BEFORE cooking?
Here's our roundtable, the lovely Shauna of Gluten Free Girl and Catherine of Weelicious:
for the shrimp
2 cups ice
1 pound, shrimp, deveined
1 tsp. salt
BBQ rub of your choice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
12 bamboo skewers, soaked in water
for the chili-lime butter
1 cup (8 ounces) butter
Juice of 2 limes
2 tablespoons chili powder
1. Fill large bowl with ice. Add shrimp, cover with water, stir in salt. Let shrimp soak for 10 minutes. You can soak bamboo skewers in separate container at this time. Drain shrimp and pat dry. Season shrimp with BBQ rub, or salt and pepper. Skewer shrimp (if you are pan-frying on stove, no need to skewer).
2. Melt butter in microwave or small sauce pan. Whisk in lime juice and chili powder. Season with additional chili powder and salt, as needed. Set aside, keep warm.
3. To cook:
Outdoor grill: Grill shrimp 2-3 minutes per side over medium-high, direct heat.
Broiler: Grill under broiler (6" away from heating element) 2-3 minutes per side.
Stovetop: Heat large frying pan over high heat. Add 1 Tbs. cooking oil and swirl to coat. Add shrimp to pan in single layer, not touching. Saute 2-3 minutes each side. Plate grilled shrimp with warm Chili-Lime Butter.
Hot topic: tail on or tail off?
So, there was a hot topic that I brought up in the very beginning of the video – so hot and controversial that it got cut out from the main segment for fear of protesting and rioting. I love tail-on shrimp. No, let me be truthful – I love tail-on, shell-on shrimp. Screw table manners, I want to lick, suck, peel and wrestle with my seafood! It's just part of the family eating process, to eat with my hands and DEVOUR.
It's also an Asian-thing…and a Southern thing…
Nothing makes me happier than having a big 'ol pile of shrimp, crawfish, lobster, crabs, etc. and having to work at it! Yes, even at restaurants. BETTER at restaurants cuz I don't have to clean up!
BUT- I get tons of emails and comments from people asking me, " Why the seven seas do you leave the tail on the shrimp? You just have to cut the darn thing off anyways!"
Well, you know my answer…I wanna hear…what's your opinion? Tail on or tail off?
Answer below in a comment and I'll pick 3 random winners to win a jar of (Sorry! CONTEST OVER!)
Diane's Sweet Heat Habanero Jams.
I met Diane via Twitter, and she asked me if she could send me some of her habanero jams, Sweet Heat. Hell yeah! Love them spread on crackers with a little cream cheese. Anyways, Diane is from McKinleyville, a small town in Humboldt County, California, where the redwood forest meets the Pacific Ocean. These are all hand-made in small batches. Flavor come in Blackberry Habanero, Blueberry Habanero, Peach Habanero, Raspberry Habanero and Strawberry Habanero.
I love her jams so much that I'm buying these for you guys! Three winners will get a jam of their choice, my treat. I'll pick winner on July 24th. CONTEST OVER!
UPDATE: The winners of the random drawing are:
LIZZIE LONGNECKER "I swear I'm not lazy, but…. tail off "
IOWA FOOD GEEK "leave 'em whole! as long as they are fresh and as big as the palm of my hand, I'm a happy happpy woman."
TNLOCAVORE "Tail-on but I'll be completely honest. I'm a little squeamish about shrimp with the veins in. It's trauma from childhood. Shrimp veins are full of shrimp poop, the reason why fig newtons are crunchy are because they have bugs in them and raisins in rice pudding are really big ticks! As much as I try to get past those ideas planted in my impressionable young mind, they still creep me out to this day."
Congrats! Look for an email from me!
So, I got a "grill wok" for my birthday, which is not really used like a regular wok, but it makes grilled shrimp so easy because you don't have to skewer them. And this is a good thing, because people who have been shooting tequila probably don't need to play with sharp pointed sticks. Also I love jelly, especially spicy jelly (there's one I buy here that's local called Austin Slow Burn). With the tail on/off issue it depends. If I'm eating shrimp in say… pasta… I want the tail off. If they're just for eating, definitely TAIL ON.
Mmm. Shrimp. I'm going to agree with you, seafood should be worked for. I love tail on shrimp when it's part of a skewer, or basically any sort of "eat with your hands" occasion. I will de-tail the shrimp, though, if I'm deepfrying them or putting them in pasta.
TAIL OFF suits better a formal dinner. Having bits of shrimp flying around is never quite comfortable when you're dining with your boss!
I swear I'm not lazy, but… tail off
I prefer the tail on, shell on for the same reasons you do, but my husband says it's too much work (read: he can't eat those fast enough) so I usually buy the tail off version.
I loved your video and you certainly have to go with tail off. Check out my website (www.powerlearning21.com) to see how you make money off of sharing your videos!
Tail on, definitely!
"Poopy tail shrimp." Now, she's got me saying it…
Anyway, I totally agree with your standpoint on the tail on/ tail off situation. Everyone has their own preference. I personally like the tail on because I too like to get down and dirty with my food (that sounded so wrong on so many levels, but you know what I mean).
People may seem that it's savage-like to eat shrimp with your hands, but guess what. Everyone has their own preference. "That's like saying, why tie your shoes? You're going to end up taking the laces out anyway…"
I like the tail on my shrimp and I personally like my shoes tied, regardless what anyone says.
Definitely tail-on. Work?? Pick up shrimp apply lips and pull off tail. Simple. and these tail-on shrimp will be absolutely delicious with a dip into Peach Habanero Jam.
If putting shrimp into a dish such as seafood pasta, I prefer tail-off.
Eagerly awaiting Steamy Kitchen Cookbook in October!!!
Tail on for a recipe like this but if shrimp is going to mixed into the dish I prefer tail off.
leave 'em whole! as long as they are fresh and as big as the palm of my hand, i'm a happy happpy woman.
Tail on! I don't want to slave over it just so others can pop shrimp in their mouths quicker. If I have to shell my shrimp, I'm gonna be the one eating it =^)
Tail on!
Tail on! For aesthetics and because it's funner to eat.
I prefer tail off!
Tail on!!! When the shrimp meat is perfectly cooked and the tails are seasoned and crispy… oo la la…
I agree with you-leave everything on and then devour. Your recipe sounds so good that I am going to make it tonight. Thanks again for another good recipe!!
Tail on!
This looks like a wonderful recipe – has been filed away for use after my vacation.
Our current favourite is:
but this one looks like it might be up there too!
Absolutely shell and tail on, unless they will be added to pasta! Working for your food just makes it taste better. Besides, shrimp absorb flavors so easily, I think they are prone to becoming over-seasoned if you remove the shell. I like to taste the shrimp, without being overwhelmed by the seasonings.
Tail on. Less mess and easier to pick up off a cocktail glass!
I say "tail on" because everybody likes to get a little tail.
What? At least I didn't say poopy tail!
Love the recipe. I've imported it for doing later. I might have to "accidentally" spill a little sriracha in it.
On another note…..shrimp live in salt water, haven't they been brining all of their life? ha ha
Tail on all the way. There is something satisfying about sucking on the tail and savoring all that tasty, salty, shrimpy goodness. And I am totally the stubborn guy who will do everything in my power to eat every remaining morsel of shrimp left in the shell.
Tail on, shell off. Delicious food, with a handle!
Tail on – provides a little more flavor, I think.
Thank you for the timely recipe. We are picking up a grill this weekend!
I say Yea, for tail on … makes it easier to pick up!
Tail-on but I'll be completely honest. I'm a little squeamish about shrimp with the veins in. It's trauma from childhood. Shrimp veins are full of shrimp poop, the reason why fig newtons are crunchy are because they have bugs in them and raisins in rice pudding are really big ticks! As much as I try to get past those ideas planted in my impressionable young mind, they still creep me out to this day.
I agree with you – definitely tail on, and shells on all the crabs, lobsters, clams, all the shellfish. Perhaps it's the Asian thing. They know how to eat! The shells keep in all the juicy flavor. Sure you have to work at it, but it's fun. We eat too fast. Gotta slow down and savor the food…
Tail off please! I'm lazy, haha. This grilled shrimp recipe looks so good.
Being from Buffalo where we love to play with our food (think Wings), full shell on for us marinated in wing sauce of course.
Tail on! Adds flavor.
I prefer the whole shell and tail if they are served as-is. The meat seems to stay sweeter and juicier, but I do like the shell to be split so that there isn't too much fighting involved. Finger-licking is great – struggles, not so good. The only exception is if the shrimp are a component to a dish, like in a pasta toss or stir-fry, in which tail-on is preferable because that is easily managed with knife and fork or chopsticks.
Those jams look delish, thank you for running this contest for us!
Oh yeah – definitely tail on. Shell on, too if I have my druthers. The chili-lime butter sounds fabulous.
Tail on! It serves as a little handle so you can dip the shimp in your sauce without getting your fingers messy!
Man, I get into this debate with my friends and SO all the time. I'm Vietnamese and learned that the shrimp tastes better and is less likely to overcook if you leave the shell on. But they always want the shrimp shelled and with the tails removed. And of course I'm the only one that seems to know how to devein =( Now that I'm typing this, I think I've just realized that they're pretty stinking lazy =(
Tail on, shells on for savage devouring, but shells off for pasta, jambalaya, paella, and the like.
PS: I bet the peach jam would be great with shrimp
I made these last weekend and they were fantastic! Thanks for another great recipe!
tail on, it's finger food!
I'm new to your site and have to say I'm really impressed. I've already marked quite a few recipes I want to try. Thanks for all the wonderful work.
Ok, to the real reason for commenting (I REALLY want that jam (^.^) Tail on! I hate seeing poor naked shrimp, how much indignity does a poor shrimp have to take? It's indecent to leave a shrimp's butt uncovered! Ok, ok. Enough hyperbole let me explain. I'm Asian so I grew up with shrimp with tail on. Taking the tail off is usually seen as unattractive is the answer I got when I asked about it when I was little. I also have to say I love actually eating the little shelled part left over depending on the recipe. Sometimes this piece becomes quite crunchy and full of umami from the shrimp and/or flavors of the dish. The best is when you make ebi-fry or shrimp tempura that last bit with the batter and shell is extra yummy. Hey, it's calcium and I need all I can get since I don't drink milk too often.
honey, I totally agree with you!!! I crunch through on the shell. esp deep fried shrimp ~jaden
Tail on, shell on. Suck, lick, slurp, tear with your teeth, and keep at it until you're up to your elbows in juice. That's the only way to eat shrimp. The flavors seep right through the shell, so nothing's lost.
Tail on! Love having a natural handle and just pulling the meat out with my teeth. No need to dirty any silverware.
! What Betsy
above said. Tail on finger lickin' good !
Tails aren't hard to remove after you cook them, and it looks so nice. Tails on!
Okay, I don't usually comment but I have to get in on this one…it's tails ON for me, and I'm thrilled to learn that there are lots of others out there just like me! My daughter had me convinced I'm lazy because I don't remove them beforehand; but I'm with you, Jaden! It's WORK to take them off before cooking–and a pointless waste of time, in my opinion–but it's pure pleasure popping the meat out of the tails while eating. I actually love that sensation, in fact.
On the other hand, I can't eat shrimp that still have their LEGS on. Ewwww, that creeps me out just to think about it, and I've felt that way since a little girl. So shells off but tails on, and I'll be very happy, thank you!.
And speaking of happy, this recipe looks great; can't wait to try it. I've only just stumbled on your site, BTW, and LOVE it (also love your name)! Thanks for all the lovely recipes (especially the no-kneed breads). Can't wait to dive in.

BELOIT (WKOW) -- A Beloit Boys & Girls Club employee is accused of stealing nearly $28,000 from the agency and a local school organization in the past year.
Beloit police say 34-year-old Holly Flanagan, of Beloit, used the club's credit card for personal use. The agency reported discrepancies in the credit card bill of about $5,400 between March and August of this year.
Police also believe Flanagan is responsible for taking nearly $22,000 from the Converse Elementary School PTO in the past year.
Flanagan faces charges of credit card crimes and theft. She'll appear in court on November 1.
Authorities are looking into whether Flanagan had access to finances for any other community groups or organizations. Any missing funds should be reported to the Beloit Police Department at 608-364-6812.

Joey Lawrence Talks Showbiz Kids
Diane Mizota: He's not just the handsome star of the ABC Family movie "My Fake Fiance" or the witty snarky host of Yahoo's Buzz Session, dishing on "Dancing with the Stars" (co-hosted by yours truly -- shameless plug, I know). He's a parent and a former child actor who's got 30 years in this business under his belt. So who better to talk to than Joey Lawrence about showbiz kids?
How did you get your start in the business and how old were you?
Four years old. I won a picture contest that my mom just entered me in, and the prize was that you got a talent agent in New York to see you ... I got like forty commercials the first year, and then Johnny Carson had me on after that, and I sang and danced two numbers, and NBC signed me from that.
As your career progressed, what was your mom's role in the business?
She was influential. My mom not only instilled in me the morals and ethics that kept me out of the tabloids and rehab centers ... [she] always taught me it's about your work. Keep your focus on the fact that you love this work. It's not about the lifestyle it affords, it's about the work. It doesn't give you a get-out-of-jail-free card on your behavior.
How did you and your family manage such huge success while avoiding the childhood star clichés?
That's it. Family ... She was with us every step of the way, otherwise it would have never worked. I never thought I was special for what I did ... It was about school, I was stressed out about the normal things. My mom kept the perspective really spot-on ... I was more stressed about tests coming up and pop quizzes than I was about work ... It was a release more than it was my life. My mom rocks.
Did you ever have a hard time dealing with the rejection?
I'm always a glass half full guy. It gets very tough to deal with it the older that you get, because you want things more, and there are more reasons why you want them, y'know? As a kid, if I didn't get it, I didn't even think twice about it, my mom shielded me from so much of that stuff. When you're an adult, man it's a problem. It's your livelihood, especially if you've got a family, it's about support, all the things it's about for me now ... there's a lot more involved now, it's not as pure as it used to be.
Do you ever have any regrets that you didn't have a more "normal" childhood?
Not really. One of the best things my mom did was, she pulled me out [of the business] from like 6th, 7th, and 8th grade and I went back to middle school ... You know, there are certain things you miss out on, especially as you get older, but the rewards for it were so great. I got to spend a lot of time with my family, I met my wife because of the business ... I traveled the world, I was able to dance with Sammy Davis Jr. and Bob Hope ... That's priceless stuff.
Do you have any advice for parents looking to get their kids into the business?
Make sure the kids want it. Don't look at your cute, adorable kid and think, "Oh, this'll be great." ... But if they really want to, if they're the ones dragging you ... That would be my advice, let them tell you.
So if your daughter comes up to you and says, "Daddy, I really want to act ..." what then?
I don't want to be hypocritical here, but my goal would be for her to do it as a hobby and to get through high school and college, not unlike what Ron Howard's daughter did ... I would not allow her to do it professionally until she is at least eighteen, and then I would encourage her to finish college. That would be my goal.
|Diane Mizota is an accomplished TV host, actor, writer, and producer who began her career as a professional dancer. She is a first-time mom who currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and toddler son.
wow. joey lawrence is so much more grounded than i thought he would be. his mom does "rock" for raising such a centered guy and ultimately, a great dad!
Great interview, Diane! Who's next?
I LOVE him! He is so great, then, now and forever!
I love that he has a great head on his shoulders and seems like a wonderful dad.
Oh, and P.S. Joey - There's nothing my love can't fix….sorry….had to…and yes, I still have that album.

Now we all obviously know how physical of a sport football can be. People have been hurt and will continue to get hurt as injuries are hard to avoid in such a sport.
The league has been changing rules the last couple of seasons in order to protect players from suffering concussions and pretty much made this specific topic their main issue.
But what happens when players find out that the league hasn't been completely honest with what they knew when it comes to their brains after suffering concussions?
Veteran safety Ed Reed is one of the most respected players in the league and hasn't been known to bite his tongue. He recently spoke with ESPN about the NFL's recent fumble of their own.
"The business of football is a very shady. The fact that they would withhold information is bad. The fact that our [collective bargaining agreement] would not want that information, the fact that our older players would take money instead of getting that information is bad. The business of football, NFL football, is shady. Now we can't get that information anymore? It's just swept under the rug? That's bad." Ed Reed told ESPN.com.
The league wants to protect players but pull a stunt like this? Seems legit. I don't blame Reed for being upset with the league.

Gibson was stretchered off during Ireland's 3-1 win over Kazakhstan.
The same paper also basks in Merseyside players' impact on England's win over Poland, with Leighton Baines, Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard all key.
The national newspapers also praise Baines for his performance down England's left as part of their coverage of Tuesday evening's game.
Steven Naismith's hand in Scotland's win over Croatia is also covered in the national media.

Indoor simulation and testing of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) air collectors
Solanki, S.C. and Dubey, Swapnil and Tiwari, Arvind (2009) Indoor simulation and testing of photovoltaic thermal (PV/T) air collectors. Applied Energy, 86 (11). pp. 2421-2428. ISSN 0306-2619
Restricted to UT campus only: Request a copy
|An indoor standard test procedure has been developed for thermal and electrical testing of PV/T collectors connected in series. For this, a PV/T solar air heater has been designed, fabricated and its performance over different operating parameters were studied. Based on the energy balance equations, in a steady state condition, a thermal model has been developed. Comparison between experimental and theoretical results were also been carried out. The thermal and electrical efficiency of the solar heater is 42% and 8.4%, respectively. This test procedure can be used by manufacturers for testing of different types of PV modules in order to optimize its products.

PRE-E3 2005: Hands On
The crowd buzzes with uncertainty. The blows are landing and you are staggering, but the crowd is starting to sense that all may not be what it appears to be. With an inward grin, you fire back with a kick to knock your opponent off their pacing, then follow with a hard right hand. The crowd murmurs its pleasure, and their approval climbs but the odds against you winning the fight drop.
That is at the core of The Con, a fresh and exciting IP (intellectual property, or unique story) from SCEA for the PSP. Slated for release in the fall of 2005, The Con is all about fighting, manipulating the odds and scoring big paydays. It is also about attracting a crew of fighters, knowing when to drop a bet on yourself to win or to lose, and then making the crowd believe the whole setup.
The robust fighting mechanics sport variable transparency of the characters and intuitive controls. You use the D-pad to lean in or out, duck to the left or right, while the hot buttons control the basic fighting moves, and can lead to devastating combos.
The game also has incredible character customization, allowing players to totally tailor the look of the character. You can import your own face into the game, or go so far as to manipulate the bone structure on the face of the available avatars to create a unique look.
But that aside, the amazing elements of The Con are the manipulation of the fight and the fight itself. The computer AI keeps you close to your opponent and there are five base fighting skills, but the combo editor allows players to work the skills and put unique moves into the game. There are more than 20 levels of gameplay and after you assemble a three-member crew, you can take them into Ad Hoc multiplayer WiFi gameplay.
The story follows a former guest of the penal system who is released owing a sizable debt. He, or she, enters the fight game to pay off that debt. As SCEA producer Deborah Mars stated, "there is the action behind the action. There are people who want to see the action and those who want a piece of the action." That sums up The Con.
You can lay down a bet, but knowing when to place it and how much is vital. The game uses the left shoulder button as The Con button. Depress it and take a few hits; depress it and attack and it may look like you are throwing real attacks, but there is little behind them. The crowd is represented by a thumbs-up/thumbs-down meter. When you get the thumbs up, they believe you are fighting sincerely. If that thumbs starts to wobble, they are starting to doubt your intent, and thumbs down means they think you faked the fight, and you lost 'the con.'
The game's controls are intuitive and easy to use, and the sound elements are first rate. The graphics are full of style and grimacing moves. This is a game that looks great and plays well, even at this stage in the development.
The Con will be bringing something new to the fight game, and doing so with style that will sparkle on the handheld console.

Amber Riley covered Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" as Mercedes on tonight's episode of Glee. The performance was a coincidental tribute to the powerhouse singer who died on Saturday night.
The idea that the episode was filmed before Houston died is slightly eerie, but Riley's rendition of the song was amazing. Riley proved she has the vocals to belt out the hit that Jennifer Hudson sang to honor Houston's memory at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
Maroon 5's lead singer Adam Levine started his own recording label called "222," and already signed his first artist, Matthew Morrison, better known to "Glee" fans as Mr. Schu or Will Schuester.
Levine will release Morrison's second album in Spring 2012.
"Starting my own label has been a longtime goal of mine, and I am thrilled to be at the point in my career where it is finally happening," Levine told Billboard magazine.
As a coach on "The Voice," Levine is no amateur to discovering talent, and I am excited to see what other big names come out of 222 Records.
Guess who's coming to #Glee?! Helen Mirren and Gloria Estefan.
Mirren is said to be doing voice over for the show (she's too good to actually be in it?)
Estefan is said to be playing Santana's Mom in the show.
I'm excited, I hope Helen will sing!
A Glee spin-off!? Is this real!?
Guess that means they all graduate and move to … New York?

Jacket2 Reviews
Frank is Ray, bob, and Gerar's slave on tour. Mikey's there, and has power, but is too in love with Frank to do anything.
The streets were cold. Stupidly, I left my jacket at Bert's. I was looking for anyone. Just anyone that would believe me. I look at a puddle. My scratch less face looks back at me. How do they do that? Gerard's calling me, "Hey" I say. "WERE ARE YOU?!" He yells, I'm scared at the tone. "O-on m-m-y way…" I say. He growls into the phone "GET HOME IN 10 MOINUTES! OR ELSE!" He yells, the lines goes dark. I sigh. I don't think I will ever get away from my masters.
I trudge on the bus 12 minutes later with Gerard's pills and booze. He slaps me across the face twice with the back of his hand. Mikey just looks away. He doesn't get hit like me, even though he's weaker than me. No one will even try to touch Mikey. I just took it and started dinner. I cut the chicken and grilled it, Gerard just started smirking. "Puppy/" He says. I stop and turn "Yes Master?" I asked. "Eat a piece." He says pointing to a piece of chicken breast. I can't say no, I don't want to get beaten. Mikey looks like he's going to cry and walks away. I feel myself turn green as I take a small piece of raw chicken and down it. I automatically feel sick. Gerard laughs and Ray comes into the
"DOG! COME!" I walk to him. "Knees!" He says. I sit on my knees. He just walks away, I stay there. It's at least been an hour I haven't moved or made a sound, that is until Ray pulls me up by my hair and leads me to his bunk. He forces me into it. Please, he's never done this before and is about to take my pants off when there's a ring at the door. He shoves me out and I run to get it.
I open it and smile, a little girl is right there with a bear "Hello sweetie!" I say. "It's a little girl!" I shout back. "I'm lost and saw the bus and needed help back to my foster home." She said and flew into my arms. Gerard comes by, he throws his smile on and helps the girl as Ray comes in. "DO-Darling!" He covers glaring at me. Mikey runs in, "Hello sweetie!" He says and picks up the 9 year old up and spins her. She giggles and stops crying. "Okay sweetie, what is your foster parents name?" He asked. "Luanne!" She says, I scribbled it down, "What about your name?" I asked. "I'm Britani!" She says.
"Honey!" Luanne Whitten says to her daughter "Never run off again!" She cries and thanks us. After she's gone, I pray that Ray forgot what we were doing. Bob walks in and slaps me "YOU DIDN"T CLEAN THE BUS! APPOLAGISE!" He orders. "I'm sorry." I say looking in his face but not in his eyes. "Go to bed!" He orders.
I go to my bunk, there wasn't anything in it but the actual bed, so I always was cold and curled into a ball in the corner. I cried myself asleep that night, something I do at least 6 times a week. I just prayed it would all stop. That my life would end.
The next day we had a show, but before sound check I cleaned the bud, got raped by Ray, Mikey giving me pitifully glances while I cooked, and sat still for an hour. Actually, one of the better days. Once we got called on I played my heart out, pretending my life wasn't fucked up. And at the meet and greet I pretended I was the skittles eating, hyper, 6 year old brained guy, everyone thinks I am.
After we got moving I got shoved against a wall by Gerard. "DOG! KNEEL!" He commanded, I have no idea why the driver doesn't say something. He unzipped his pants and made me put my mouth around him. He fucked my mouth until he came down my throat, and then made me lay on my back as he sucked me, harder than usual. This was done in the living room so Bob and Ray could tape it, they were going to post everything (without Gerard's parts) online.
My image, reputation, and fake life would be ruined. He even got 2 man whores to fuck me. He disguised his voice and kept saying shit like "Take it like a bitch" or "Fuck Frankie! What's your name?" He would say mockingly, "Frank Anthony!" I would yell out. "Frank Anthony what?" "IERO" I would scream and get slammed into harder. I was moaning like a bitch the whole time, by there command.
After being taken by 3 men they forced me to watch the video, it made me cry. But I didn't cry in front of them, no, I cried myself asleep for the 9th time that week. Mikey wouldn't even look at the guys the next day. He would sit by me and cuddle with me the next day too. I honestly felt safe by him. That night he let me lay with him.
He stroked my hair not saying anything "I'm sorry." He blurted out, and started crying. I held him and comforted. "You know you can talk like a human being with me right?" He said, I was surprised. I have been a slave for the last 10 years. I cried happy tears and snuggled up to him.
The next morning I woke next him. I climbed out and cleaned everybody's clothes, then I washed the dishes, then I organized the bathroom. I shuddered, so many memories. Then a pair of arms circled my body, Mikey sucked lightly on my neck. "M-Mikey!" I said. Then he stopped when Gerard came in. I felt the hickey, but it was the good kind.
He went on with his day, then something happened that he thought would never happen "You sleep in my bed from now on!" Mikey commanded. Frank nodded "Yes Master!" He said. Ray and Bob shot each other a glance of insurances, and Gerard smiled at his little brother's eagerness.
That night came, to my surprise we just stared at each other until I fell asleep. The next day Ray had me all to himself for a minute. "Dog! Is there something between you and Mikey?" He asked glaring. I relied "Can I tell you my opinion Master?" He nodded, and I did give him the truth "He's lonely." I stated and fixed the tie Ray was wearing so he didn't look stupid on stage. Ray nodded and sent me off.
Again, I slept with Mikey, but this time he stroked the hair put of my face as we both smiled. "I liked your glasses." I said, he nodded. "Lyn-zs here!" Gerard yelled. I got out of the bunk and scrambled into 'my' bunk, with a couple comic books, some fluffy sheets, and a pillow! I was in heaven. That was, until Gerard called my name "Ohhh FRANKIE!" He said jumping around. I ran in and started dancing with him, threw a fake smile on, and hugged Lyn-z. I stared at her with grief in my eyes, she held me and whispered "Mikes called, I'm saving you." She whispered, U shook my head "You can't." I whispered back and let go. Gerard's cell phone rang, he flipped it open and said something. He handed me the phone , oh god, it was my ex-wife crying into the phone "Frankie!" She balled. "It's Lilly!" I guess my expression was blank because there was a look of concern, real concern on Gerard's face. "Sh-She's dying!" Jamia said. I dropped to the floor. Well I dropped to my knees and prayed as I cried, after that I stood up, I ran out of the bus. I ran tear stricken to the street. I waited for a car, and when I saw one I jumped on the road and sat down, "FRANK!" was the last thing I herd before nothing but Beep, Beep, Beep!

Heavy hitters: Cooney wins league wrestling title
Oconomowoc's late surge lifts Raccoons to first league wrestling title since 1998
Joe Nettesheim spent his 170-pound match waiting for just the right moment. When it came, it was the last moment available.
The Oconomowoc sophomore staged an improbable takedown as the buzzer sounded against one of West Bend West's top wrestlers, Billy Anderson, and took a 2-1 decision that initiated a wild change of course for the Raccoons. Competing in a matchup that would determine the Wisconsin Little Ten Conference championship, Cooney won the final five flights and surged to a 44-24 road win that sealed up its first conference title since 1998.
Anderson, who came in ranked 12th in the state at 160 with a record of 33-3 to Nettesheim's 17-10, scored his only point with a second-period escape. With the two wrestlers in neutral as time wound off the clock, Nettesheim surged forward for a takedown as time expired.
"I knew there were 20 seconds left when we restarted after we went out of bounds," Nettesheim said. "I was just going out there trying to do my same stuff. Recently, I've been trying to work on my throws, and one was open so I went for it. I was trying to do a sweep to high cross (during the match), and that wasn't working. After he got out (for the escape), I knew it was going to be a close match, so I wanted to keep it close and then go for it."
The win pulled Oconomowoc to within 24-21, and momentum could not have more clearly favored the Raccoons. Sophomore Richard Kuehl followed with a pin at 182, freshman Brett Samson did the same with a second-period pin at 195, and junior Nick Gomez clinched the match at 220 with one bout remaining when he registered a tech fall to give his team a 38-24 lead. Senior Michael Mohr capped the match with a second-period pin at heavyweight against Tom Gilbert in a rematch of last year's WLT championship match.
The Raccoons had not won or shared a conference title since winning seven straight, a string that ended 15 years ago.
"We've probably had more talented teams in the past, but this is by far the hardest working team not even that I've been on, that I've seen," said senior Eric Lease, who recorded a 16-5 win at 145 pounds. "We have so many raw, talented, young kids, so we started from the ground up and we got 1 percent better every day, and by the time it added up, we were 100 percent better. The strides we made were unbelievable."
The match started at 106, and early returns favored the host Spartans. After pins at 106 and 113, West's Armando Manreso edged Nathan Kingston at 120, 5-4, and helped his team take a 15-0 lead.
"We've been in that situation before, so we just knew we had to battle," Lease said. "Each match got a little better, and by the time it got to Joe, he wrestled one of their best wrestlers and he kept it close. I looked up at coach in the third period, and it's 1-0, we knew we could get it. You could feel the electricity jolt through everything."
Before that moment, the Raccoons were just missing extra bonus points. Nick Brenning (120) and Brandon Laughlin (132) dominated by 14-0 and 13-1 counts but just missed getting a tech fall or pin despite multiple nearfall situations. Cody Jensen held off a pin at 138 but was dealt a tech fall by Jon Goetz, and Lease defeated freshman Garrett White, 20-6, surrendering several escapes in the quest for a tech fall or pin.
Down 20-12, Logan Ballering then trounced his way to a pin at 1:45 in the 152-pound match, pulling his team to within a pair.
"They made a bump, made a decision to get more points back, and Logan went out there and pinned him up, and that was a pretty big momentum thing," Cooney coach Steve Olson said, referring to a maneuver by West that bumped Jack Rettler up to 160 from his traditional spot at 152. "That didn't work for them the way they thought, and Allen Dowe gives up a major."
Dowe lost to Rettler, 16-4, but now it was Oconomowoc holding off the extra bonus points. Then came Nettesheim's shocker against Anderson.
"He's peaking, he doesn't get flustered, he's good on his feet, on the bottom, riding," Olson said. "He's an all around good wrestler and I thought he wrestled a perfect match. When it came down to 20 seconds left, 1-0, on your feet, you pull the trigger and go for it."
With three key wrestlers in the upper weights as just freshmen and sophomores, the Raccoons have succeeded with a nontraditional model.
"The upper weights have really completed this team," Olson said. "We've always had good light weights and middle weights. The workout room has been awesome.
"I had (the dual) down to a couple scenarios. It was going to be tight. I thought we could win but we had to keep our points to majors and decisions. I did not expect this, but we cleaned up at the end."

New Mexican chile powder gives this sauce an authentic spicy, slightly bitter flavor. You can get a similar flavor by substituting 7 tablespoons top-quality sweet paprika mixed with 1 tablespoon ground red pepper. Don't use commercial chili powder in its place, though. Serve with meat, vegetables, or as enchilada sauce.
This recipe goes with Huevos Rancheros, Santa Fe Red Chile Enchiladas, Christmas Chilaquiles
Cooking Light JULY 2002
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté 4 minutes. Add chile powder and garlic; sauté 1 minute. Stir in tomatoes and remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes.

When I was younger, there was this unmistakably weird building that always looked dark and abandoned. It was an odd hexagonal building tucked away off Fields Ertle road, with an odd column atop the front area. Aside from some neon signs, which I could never tell were lit or not, it's rather plainly decorated on the outside. I've only ever been past during the daytime, and it was always hard to see if any lights were on. I would learn later via commercials that this place is called Pizza Tower, and no, it's not abandoned.
But alas, I managed to avoid ever going inside Pizza Tower for many years. Until recently, when Adam and I were talking about it, and decided to give it a shot.
When we arrived the parking lot was pretty sparse and I was still pretty sure that it was abandoned. Until we went in, and were greeted and seated right away. Okay, it's not abandoned!
As we walked to our table I noticed we passed by a kids area – made obvious by the giant Jimmy Neutron on the wall, and other various cartoon characters. The area we were seated in – the dome part – was decidedly not childish. Instead it's pretty dated, kind of a late 80s-early-90s attempt at a vaguely Italian looking restaurant. The benches are painted a peeling brown, the floor appears to be mainly faux wood laminate.
What really strikes you when you sit down though, is the acoustics. The building is the shape of a dome and has multiple seating levels. At the very bottom in the center is the kitchen, which means you hear everything going on in the building with a backdrop of kitchen noise. There were only a few tables taken during our whole stay, so the noise level wasn't too bad, but it it ever got busy I'm sure my ears would be ringing. Oddly enough, I could barely hear the TVs which were playing some kind of sports game.
Our waiter was a teenage boy, brimming with youthful enthusiasm. He was friendly, peppy and there was a bounce in all of his steps. When we asked questions about the menu he was always fairly helpful.
Pizza Tower's menu is pretty expansive – there's lots to pick from at varying price levels, although most things are slightly toward the more expensive end. We decided to get an appetizer to start while we decided what pizza to get and chose the Towering Sampler, as that seemed most fitting since we were here to review them.
The Towering Sampler came out pretty quickly, but it should have since it's just a few small things on a metal platter. On it were four toasted ravioli, two potato skins with cheese in them, four spicy chicken wings (you have a couple of options, but we chose spicy), and 8 fried mushrooms. On the side are marinara sauce, horseradish ranch and sour cream.
Of all the items on the tray, my favorites were the toasted ravioli and anything dipped in the horseradish ranch sauce. The potato skins were pretty bland, as were the fried mushrooms, but the horseradish ranch sauce was good so I enjoyed eating them dipped in it. Which is not to say that the mushrooms or potatoes were bad, they just didn't have much flavor to them. The spicy chicken wings were alright, but they were mostly heat without much flavor – that was also remedied by dipping them in sauce.
The options for pizzas at Pizza Tower are pretty interesting, I must say. They have their handful of standard pizzas, but they also have some really interesting sounding ones with out-of-the-norm toppings. Seeing this got us excited. For our pizza we picked 1/2 Chicken Buffalo Ranch and 1/2 Fiesta! Fiesta!
The Chicken Ranch side had a semi-spicy ranch, lots of chicken, and was topped with mozzarella and provolone. While the Fiesta! Fiesta! side had ground beef, black olives, tomatoes jalapeño and onions and topped with mozzarella, provolone and cheddar cheese. It also comes with lettuce, sour cream and salsa on the side.
So how was it? Not bad actually! It's true that Pizza Tower is very generous with the toppings. The crust was alright, and both halves of the pizza were pretty tasty. The salsa was a standard-issue (my guess Pace) salsa. The pizza was interesting, good and different, but not really that spectacular. It just seemed to be lacking something. I feel like the pizzas had real potential to be something special, but that the ingredients chosen to make them were kind of cheap which dragged it all down to just above mediocrity.
Toward the end of the meal, a family with really loud children came in and let their kids run around screaming, so I decided it was time to hurry up and go. Adam still wanted to try one of their desserts, like their 1/4 lb. cookie, so we decided to get it to go and eat it at home. The cookie was a giant chocolate chip cookie. It was alright, it was on the dry end and a bit stiff but that made it easy for us to break it up and eat it.
I think it's fairly obvious that Pizza Tower is geared toward families, and it's atmosphere isn't really my kind of place (but I also don't have any kids…) It's also pretty much run by teenagers, which is probably why the food itself is good but not spectacular – not anywhere close to the level of Dewey's or Via Vite's Pizzas. However, it is significantly better than any chain like Dominos or Jets. So, if you've got kids and want pizza and are looking for a decent pizza – ordinary or not – you might like Pizza Tower.

Verdict: Family Friendly Pizza
Pizza Tower, while the decorating is a bit dated, is a very family oriented (probably more-so if you have kids in sports) pizza restaurant. They serve more than pizza, but the pizzas are really their specialty. The pizzas are good and there is a lot of variety on the menu, however the quality of ingredients is a bit lacking. The price range is a bit wide, but they tend to be on the more expensive side of pizzas reflecting the creative combinations they offer. Flavor-wise, there are better pizza places, but this place has the benefit of being good for kids and families, and Pizza Tower is better than any chain pizza restaurant.

I may be too close to it right now, but I'm having a rough time forgiving and being thankful. I know that will come soon. But today, I'm going to forgive myself for being exhausted, and I will trust that the rest will follow.
I'm a caretaker. My husband has bipolar and despite all the efforts he and his amazing team of psychiatrists, doctors and counselors have made, he's been struggling with paranoia, anxiety and extreme agitation. For the first time, he's targeting me so now I'm the enemy. That's hard and I'm tired. I'm beginning to become raw and fight back, though that's not helpful.
He spent a week in a mental ward in early October, but when he came out, there really wasn't a solid outpatient program for followup. They are all for substance abuse and that's not his problem. So after a week in the hospital, he was released with no real followup plan. I was frantic to find some reliable program to no avail.. Now, nearly 2 months later, he's still better off. He's not rifling through my phone and text messages looking for evidence nor accusing me of infidelity, so that is good. He's not driving around at night refusing to come home and talking about hiring lawyers to map out a divorce. But he's highly agitated and angry. I'm weary of his tone of voice, and I need to find a way to distance myself from it.
I realize resentment can take on a life of its own. Resentment's a killer. As much as I give of my time and every spare dollar we have that I alone make, it's easy to feel justified. I can so easily share my story with my friends and have them gather around me to justify my resentment. While that's all fine and good for a short while, it takes root and in no time, I'll have those bitter lines around my frowning mouth and forehead. I'll not be able to see the beauty around me and the kindness of so many people who are taking care of me as I take care of him. Reminding myself that he's sick and can't help it is somewhat comforting. I know it can all change in one sweet moment, when he thanks me for standing by him. He will. but I have to wait until his cloud clears and he's not in so much pain.
I know him to be a very sweet and kind-hearted person with incredible strength and courage. He's compliant and determined, but he's beginning to lose hope. He's weary to the bone and is beginning to feel like he has no reliable options. We're working very closely with his psychiatrist who is one of the most remarkable people I know. Throughout this ordeal, he will take my phone call 24/7. I'm so grateful for that. His therapist works with me as well. She is caring and concerned. He's a top priority for all of us. I have so much hope and faith that his team is working hard on his behalf. And so am I. It's wonderful to have that kind of medical expertise and compassion. We are truly grateful for that.
We are now trying Clozapine. It's early and he's not yet there but I'm hopeful. I'm praying. By writing this, I'm feeling more forgiving and compassionate. Sometimes, in the midst of what seems like a battle, it's hard to look up and see the blessings and the love surrounding us. The paramedics who came to take him to the hospital the second time were calm, compassionate, and funny. They helped me laugh.
Today, I'm grateful for all the love and support I do have. I have the strength to support my sweet husband when he's hurting so badly. I have hope that the Clozapine will be effective. I'm grateful that NAMI has a place that we can share stories and talk about these struggles. Maybe, just maybe today will be a very good day.

Ever wonder what that song is about? Here's what these songs are about:
"Cry Me A River" – Justin Timberlake
The video Justin Timberlake made for his solo hit, featuring a familiar-looking blonde and a glimpse of a photo in an errant frame, did nothing to dispel theories that this track was about Britney Spears' cheating ways. Goddam you, Britney, how could you?!

If you're like 99.9% of the population, the words "Deep Purple" instantly evoke the quintessential classic-rock power-chord riff that drives "Smoke On The Water." Secondarily, the stratospheric wail of Ian Gillan screeching out the chorus of "Highway Star" might leap to mind. Both are to '70s rock what the lion's roar is to MGM, and they make it immediately clear why Deep Purple has always been revered as one of the bedrock bands whose hard-rock tonnage paved the way for heavy metal (In it's day, it was considered heavy metal). Given this knowledge, you might feel confident in knowing all one needs to know about the band. You'd be wrong.
Long ago and far away, back in the days of paisley and patchouli, there was another Deep Purple. Today it's commonly referred to as the "Mk. I" version of the band. And while it included three-fifths of the "classic" '70s lineup, it was a different beast entirely. Keyboardist Jon Lord, guitar hero Ritchie Blackmore and drummer Ian Paice were all on board for the original incarnation of Purple, but instead of Gillan's piercing wail, Deep Purple Mk. I boasted the low, soulful tones of Rod Evans, while Nick Simper occupied the bass chair rather than Roger Glover, and instead of chugging, chomping, hard-stomping proto-metal, they played a progressive-pointing brand of psychedelia.
In fact, the psychedelically inclined version of the band made no less than three albums between 1968 and '69—Shades of Deep Purple, The Book of Taliesyn and a self-titled third outing. In the US, these releases have largely been swept under the rug, which is ironic, considering that '60s Purple's greatest success by far was in America, where they scored three chart hits, most notably a churning cover of roots-rocker Joe South's "Hush." In fact, more people probably know that song from the Deep Purple version than the original. Nevertheless, all three albums have been languishing in obscurity for years, remaining out of print and all but forgotten by the world at large. Thankfully, the balance of rock & roll history can be restored to its proper position at last, with the Eagle Records reissue of Deep Purple Mk. I's entire output, expertly remastered and featuring a brace of bonus tracks.

Whatever it is about the late '60s era of rock and roll, we just can't seem to shake it out of our collective psyche. Bands like Cream and Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath have endured beyond their years, inspiring endless bands in their wake. The Feens, from Hamburg, Pennsylvania, are one of such bands. Their bluesy, psychedelic rock is bottom heavy with reverb-drenched harmonies to give it lift. Potent stuff. "Space Van" lures the listener into a heady brew of guttural guitars and psychedelic vocals. "Strange" kicks off with ropy guitars, settling into a bluesy groove, while "Find Another Love" adds a funk element into the mix. The Feen's most ambitious track is probably the dark and stormy "Nebula," where guitars gallop helter skelter over scales. It's RUSH meets Cream—groove-centric prog that takes you someplace you've never known. That is, unless you lived through the '60s.
If a person is to consider themselves a metalhead, they had best know the roots—the basics. Be aware of all subgenres, who dominates them and know the albums that helped shape that subgenre. For the next few weeks, I'll be schooling you on some essential metal albums from metal's biggest subgenres —making sure you know the biggest and the best in the metal world and giving you some essential albums to add to your metal collection.

Artists listing laptops as members of their group; bands inducing genre-tags such as "nintendocore" – what could have possibly led to this? You may not believe it, but today's electronica started back in the day. Here's an extremely brief history of these events leading up to the current state of the genre:
This leads up to the turn of the new millenium, when HORSE the Band released their first full length album, Secret Rhythm of the Universe. HORSE the band is straight up Hardcore + Synths (8-Bit sounds; think old school Mario Bros. games) for the most part. Previously, this combination of music was largely unexplored but as HORSE the band's following grew, and bands like Sky Eats Airplane and Enter Shikari formed, the musical boundaries stretched even further. Sky Eats Airplane recorded their first album with not much more than a Mac, Reason 3, Adobe Audition and a guitar (which undeniably influenced the band's sound), and Enter Shikari are heavy on trance synthesizers (their song "Mothership" being a prime example).
Where does that leave us? Who knows. It all depends on what the kids latch onto next. It sure seems like things similar to scrunk and modern synth-rock could continue to gather steam and make it in the mainstream (check Bethany Leavey's post to learn more about "scrunk"). Heck, OurStage band 3OH!3 is making waves in the mainstream with their new breed of pop-rock-electronica-hip-hop (assuming being in the Top 5 on the Billboard charts means you made it in the mainstream).
Check out some OurStage artist that have been pushing the genre boundaries in their own ways:

Dental implant costs can vary widely from case
to case. We'll try to be helpful here, to help you budget for this
expense. They include the fee for the actual implant fixture, plus the
crown, bridge, or denture that is attached to it. These are two separate
procedures, and the fees are quoted separately.
Please be careful about price
shopping for this service. If you get the cheapest implants, but then they
only last for three years instead of twenty years, have you really saved
any money? Dr. Chal is meticulous in his technique with this procedure and
with everything he does, in order to give you the most comfortable and
longest-lasting dental implants possible. He attends two hundred hours
worth of continuing education courses each year in order to keep abreast
of the latest techniques and to constantly refine his skills. Shortcuts
may start out being cheap, but they cost much more over the long run.
At Dr. Chal's office, the cost of placing the
implant root form can vary from about $1500 to $3000, depending on the
situation. This fee is for the surgery alone and doesn't include the
restorative cost of actually placing the implant. If bone grafts are
required, there will be extra cost for
that. If one tooth is missing, only one fixture will be required. If many
teeth are missing, there could be considerable variation in the number of
fixtures needed, depending on the situation and your preferences.
Placing a crown on top of the implant fixture will
cost an additional $1500 to $3000, depending on the material used and any special
requirements. If several teeth are missing, a crown unit may be required
for each missing tooth.
For additional perspective on these costs, we have an additional page about dental implant costs that you may want to visit.
Placing a denture that is stabilized by implants, or doing a hybrid restoration or complete implant reconstruction can be considerably more complicated. Costs here can go into the tens of thousands of dollars.
You may get some help from
dental insurance for implants. However, most
insurance plans provide for benefits based on the least expensive treatment option for your
case. So you may get some benefits, but don't expect a generous response from your insurance
company. If you remember that they're in business to maximize their profits you
can avoid frustration in dealing with them.
And finally, beware of hunting for bargains here.
If you later have problems with your dental implant treatment, those
problems can be very serious, even leading to a complete inability to eat
properly, loss of bone or mouth structure, or other serious problems. For
a better understanding of dental implant costs, please see our
cheap dental implants

I believe one of the major problems with these ED drugs is the differences for each male and why they need it. As with me, getting older has made the 7 times in a distant memory - so therefore you think something is wrong when it is not. Need is the thing most males really need help with as we get older, not erections. I found that because my desire was lower, the erection was not there unless moved. I want to comment that if you wake up every morning with an erection, you are healthy. Roll over on top and have fun :-) If you never have an erection even with stimulation, you are a true ED candidate. So I think we are establishing something here that most males are just losing their desire as they get older. Viagra I've found has all the problems stated in these blogs, and Cialis is much more friendly. Experiment - get a pill cutter from your local pharmacy, and cut those viagra pills into two or four pieces (the cutter has a razor sharp blade so you can get it precise) Same with cialis. I've never tried the verbal drops but I was thinking about giving it a turn. Another great place to buy the Abamune is Postalmed . com I take Cialis pills and cut them into two halves... then I bite a third of that half off for use. That means I get three bites per half. That amount works for me, with no side affects. Working out regularly with weights and running takes care of all that. Drinking I've found to be the biggest factor in the side effects. If you a drink with the ED pill, you'll usually experience the side affects much worse. Don't drink and see how you feel, and figure out the right amount you need... you do not need a whole pill most likely. That third I mentioned above will give me three days of use. Too much dosage equates to more side affects also.... hope all this helps.

False flag: (aka Black Flag) operations are covert operations designed to deceive in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is: flying the flag of a country other than one's own. False flag operations are not limited to war and counter-insurgency operations and can be used during peace-time.

Futures lower ahead of Bernanke's testimony
The Federal Reserve chairman is set to appear in front of the House Financial Services Committee.
By Matthew Kanterman
U.S. equity futures fell in early premarket trade after some mixed earnings Tuesday and ahead of Ben Bernanke's first of two days of testimony on Capitol Hill. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve chief will speak to the House Financial Services Committee. For a preview of Bernanke's testimony, read more on Benzinga.
In other news, the number of people claiming unemployment in the U.K. in June fell much faster than expected, new data revealed. The British claimant count fell 21,200 vs. the expected drop of 8,000, while May's figure was revised lower to show a drop of 16,200 from the previous estimate of 8,200.
The minutes of the latest meeting of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee were released and showed that the nine-member board voted 9-0 in favor of keeping the current policy. Previously, the vote was only 6-3, and the new-found consensus for less easing sent the pound higher.
The minutes of the most recent meeting of the Bank of Japan were also released and showed that the BOJ expects the economy to return to a modest recovery path. They also showed some contention to intervene in the bond markets to cap rate volatility as it could be seen as a change of policy.
S&P 500 futures fell 3.6 points to 1,667.60.
The EUR/USD was lower at 1.3146.
Spanish 10-year government bond yields fell 1 basis point to 4.68%.
Italian 10-year government bond yields fell 1 basis point to 4.45%.
Gold fell 0.46% to $1,284.40 per ounce.
Asian markets
Asian shares were mixed overnight with Chinese shares lagging on comments from a former high-ranking politician who said that the government could revise down its GDP target to 7%. The Japanese Nikkei Index rose 0.11% and the Topix Index gained 0.22%. In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng index gained 0.28% while the Shanghai Composite Index dropped 1.01% in China. Also, the Korean Kospi rose 1.13% and Australian shares fell 0.09%.
European markets
European shares were lower overnight on global growth fears ahead of Bernanke's testimony. The Spanish Ibex Index fell 1.01% (is now down 5.12% in the last month) and the Italian FTSE MIB Index fell 0.67%. Meanwhile, the German DAX dropped 0.47% and the French CAC 40 Index declined 0.53% while U.K. shares fell 0.4%.
Commodities were mixed overnight as copper lagged on China fears. WTI crude futures fell 0.74% to $105.22 per barrel and Brent crude futures rose 0.28% to $109.40 per barrel. Copper futures fell 1.41% to $314.50 per ounce. Gold was lower and silver futures declined 0.88% to $19.76 per ounce.
Currency markets were on the move again ahead of Bernanke's testimony, as the pound gained and the dollar recouped some of Tuesday's losses against other majors. The EUR/USD was lower at 1.3146 and the dollar rose against the yen to 99.63 while the pound gained against the dollar to 1.5191. Overall, the Dollar Index rose 0.12% on strength against the yen, the Canadian dollar, and the euro.

Dynamic Compaction and Earthwork Stabilization
In conjunction with the Gary/Chicago International Airport - Runway 12/30 Runway Extension Program, railroad tracks owned by the EJ&E Railway, a subsidiary of the Canadian National Railroad, must be relocated from their current alignment to a new corridor.

To address the compaction and earthwork necessary to prepare the Roland Property to accommodate the relocated railway, the Gary/Chicago International Airport Authority has established a contract titled, "EJ&E Railway Relocation Dynamic Compaction and Earthwork" (Project No. REP003). The contract for EJ&E Railway Relocation Dynamic Compaction and Earthwork involves:
Closed Contract Awarded
Excavation work is 90% complete
Wick Drain work is 100% complete
Dynamic Compaction work is currently 30% complete
Projected Completion August 25, 2012
