- Never DisapiontsNYprofessionaleaterVIPDined on 8/23/2014Most consistent chain period. Great food love bone in filet, seafood is great as well as service.Special Features:
- Very good steak houseShashiDined on 8/23/2014Unfortunately, the kitchen was very slow in getting out the dinners on a busy sat eve. But the steak was perfectly cooked ( recommend the bone in filet and the creamed spinach) In addition, our waitress was attentive and very personable.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Okay, not greatGoodfoodfanDined on 8/23/2014While Morton's is a classic steakhouse (a la carte menu) and lots of servers hovering around, our dinner was fair. I had to flag down our server to have my water refilled in spite of the fact that our table was assigned 2 servers for the four of us. My double pork chop was delivered rare (I asked for medium well) and by the time the chop came back, my 3 dining partners were pretty much finished. The food was good, but not getting a meat order correct is a big miss in my book.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- TJ142Dined on 8/21/2014Terrific dinner highlighted by wonderful service from 'The Aussie'. Our new favorite steak house in Stamford.Special Features:
- An old favorite...FoodloverJBDined on 8/16/2014Beautifully presented and exquisitely prepared courses. We resisted dessert because appetizers, wine, salads and entrees were soooo filling. A great night out!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too ExpensiveOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/12/2014I've have eaten at Stamford Morton's several times over the years. The food and service are top-notch. However, prices are now Expense Account Only. Dinner for four with only two appetizers, one dessert and no alcohol, with tip, came to over $400. When I want to spend that kind of money for a meal, it won't be at Morton's.
- Great DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/12/2014Happy to have celebrating my fiance's birthday; Morton's did everything right.Special Features:
- solid steakhouseOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/12/2014Excellent Cajun Ribeye and filet, and shrimp cocktail. I wish they would still roll the cart of cuts around the dining room to show you before you order. That was always a neat Morton's signature.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High End DealctgalDined on 8/9/2014Morton's is an excellent high end restaurant with delicious food, great atmosphere and terrific service, but it can be pricey. I recently received an email from them about a deal featuring choice of salad, entree and dessert for $40. My husband and I dined there on Saturday night. We started with the warm onion bread. Mmmm. We actually requested that it be taken away so we didn't spoil our appretites. My ceasar salad was delicious, as was my husbands tomato & mozzarella salad. We both ordered the filet mignon and garlic string beans, which were perfect. I brought my key lime pie home for my son, but my husband enjoyed his. Look for their specials if you're on a budget. Otherwise, it is a bit pricey, but worth it!Special Features:
- For an upscale restaurant not goodFoodjunkiegirlDined on 8/8/2014Steak was way over seasoned. Could barely eat it. No reason for a place to be that expensive. Bathroom doors locks were broken and for the price you pay you shouldn't have a flaw in your meal. I'd never go back! There are so many better steak places, this one is not even on the list for me!Special Features:
- Fabulous!!LeftyVIPDined on 8/7/2014Great food. Great drinks. Superb service by knowledgeable staff.Special Features:
- always consistently goodfrequentdinerVIPDined on 8/6/2014service and food are always consistently good at any Morton'sSpecial Features:
- Lovely eveningsuzyqDined on 8/1/2014My husband and I had dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The food was very good, cooked to perfection. Service was great. The added date on the menu and complimentary picture and dessert was a nice touch. However, it is a little pricey. The valet parking should be included.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mediocre steaksAbenzDined on 7/17/2014Really not up to the standards I remember. My porterhouse was thin, chewy, and barely warm. There are too many other great steakhouses to choose from now, this one is not one of them.
- Zach25Dined on 7/10/2014Went with a group of 6 and had a great time. Excellent table selection on behalf of the restaurant. Staff was attentive and friendly. The food was paced out properly so it did not feel rushed.Special Features:
- Franchise Food at Steak House PricePWP27Dined on 7/10/2014Real N.Y. or Chicago steak house prices, i.e. Smith & Wollensky or Ditka's, with indifferently prepared food. Virtually nothing was executed well, main courses or side dishes. Morton"s didn't begin to come up to the level of quality and execution one expects for $35-$50 entrees. We would have had a better experience and relative value at an Outback Steak House. And the service was pretty bad as well.
- chipDined on 7/9/2014Tough, overcooked steak and shrimp cocktail, but the sides of hashed browns and creamed spinach were good.
- jk08Dined on 7/6/2014Excellent venue, great food, and very professional, helpful staff! Great place to go when arriving by train in Stamford.
- Holiday SpecialrgtctDined on 7/5/2014We took advantage of a holiday special for our anniversary and the deal was terrific - $35 per person for three courses. The Mortons salad, filet steak, sides adn key lime pie were delicous - perfectly prepared and presented. As this was a holiday weekend, the restaurant was not crowded - and the service was attendative adn accomodating. Wonderful, relaxing eveningSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- best mortons meal everLovetoeatVIPDined on 7/5/2014i have been too Mortons many times and don't think we have all had such a spectacular meal. they had a special 35th anniversary special that we decided to partake in. the steaks were cooked and tasted perfect. the chicken bianco was simply wonderful. the salads and onion soup were so good. the cosmopolitan was said to be best ever. simply outstandingI would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/2/201435 anniversary special was poor quality meat. Would not recommend ordering this dish. The halibut was overcooked and very dry.
- SADLY LOBSTERS WERE OVERCOOKEDFOODREVIEW22222Dined on 6/29/2014EVEN THOUGH WE HAD ASKED THE JESSICA THE WAITRESS AND THE CHEF, AS WE DID MANY TIMES BEFORE AT THIS MORTON'S, THAT THE 2 TWO-POUND LOBSTERS NEED TO BE "NOT COOKED ALOT SINCE WE LIKE THEM MOIST AND SOFT"; THE LOBSTERS WERE OVERCOOKED AND HARD TO EAT (BUT THE TASTE WAS GOOD). THE PROBLEM IT SEEMS IS THAT THE CHEF COOKED THE LOBSTER BEFORE WE WERE FINISHED WITH OUR APPETIZER AND SOUPS. WE HAD TOLD JESSICA THE WAITRESS TO PLEASE NOT HAVE THE LOBSTERS COOKING UNTIL AFTER WE WERE DONE WITH THE APPETIZER AND SOUPS.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Befitting a milestone celebrationseasonedspouseDined on 6/28/2014Besides the usual outstanding service, the treatment for a special occasion is above and beyond. A specially printed menu starts off the night followed by a photograph which is delivered in a custom folder with well wished from the restaurant. The wait staff is so well trained and they deliver a flawless experience. The meal was perfectly prepared as was the complimentary souffle. A totally enjoyable experience.Special Features:
- Too bad service is lackingCTLeftyDined on 6/27/2014We went for the lobster special. The lobster was great, but the service was not. The lobsters arrived, but we had to ask for lobster bibs, crackers, small forks and a bowl for the shells. We never received any wetnaps to clean off our hands after the lobster. We ended up going to the restroom to clean up and the water was scalding hot. We ordered a special dessert when we placed our dinner order and when we mentioned it, the waitress thought whe was funny and said that she missed the order, but brought it 5 minutes later and said it was a joke. Not a great way to end the meal.Special Features:
- HeatherDined on 6/25/2014We hesitated going again so close in relation to our last visit but we're so glad that we did. Our last visit the food was "OK" but I was a bit disappointed with the flavor of the filet (as were the others in our party). This time, however, Morton's was back on track. Filet was delicious. Unfortunately those who were first time diners with us the last visit won't come back with us to prove how good they normally are.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Morton's- StamfordBetterathomeDined on 6/24/2014Went with a couple colleagues to have a good meal. The service was great- We all got salads which were excellent- and the onion loaf is always devine. We all got steak of some sort- and all were saisfied but not blown away. The sides were good- but maybe we chose poorly (twice baked au gratin potatoes and mushrooms and sauteed spinach.) We finished the meal sharing the warm fruit crisp- which was good- however- again- not the best I ever had.Special Features:
- Service was wonderfulBabsDined on 6/15/2014From entering to leaving and picking up valet parked car the staff was friendly and professionalSpecial Features:
- FoodKimmyDined on 6/15/2014Server and host and hostess were great and personable. Always seeing if we needed anything. It was the BEST and most perfectly cooked piece of filet mignon we have ever had. We enjoyed Fathers Day very much thanks to Mortons!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- HeatherDined on 6/15/2014Never disappoints! Normally a "date night" for us but this time brought the family (8 total). Everything was delicious, service was great, and even our 2 year old behaved herself while she "dined" on the sour cream mashed potatoes. It was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MORTON'S STEAKOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/14/2014We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Morton's Steakhouse. The wine was perfect, the steaks were cooked to perfection and our server, an Aussie, couldn't have been nicer. It's a little on the expensive side for us, but it was a special occasion, we had tickets for Il Volo at The Palace after dinner. We live on Long Island, but will be sure to check out Morton's in Manhattan for our next special date.Special Features:
- GREAT ExperienceYummyVIPDined on 6/13/2014We went to Morton's to celebrate my husband's birthday. The staff treated us like royalty. We had a GREAT time.Special Features:
- The following 479 reviews are from the Morton's The Steakhouse - Stamford reviews archive.
- DeanofDineDined on 5/31/2014We were welcomed and quickly seated for our reservation. The staff was professional and engaging. We took advantage of their limited time Summer Special menu, which offered both variety and good value. Service was attentive and informative. The room seemed a bit outdated. The meal was interrupted twice by fire alarms and follow-up announcements to ignore the alarms. I was surprised to discover a sizeable line item for valet parking in Stamford. It was disruptive for them to be conducting such tests during a Saturday night dinner service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for birthdaysLuv2dineDined on 5/29/2014I loved the picture we received as a take home gift for my birthday. Great service!Special Features:
- KB24Dined on 5/25/2014meat dishes were great and souffle was wonderful. unfortunately, there was so much garlic on the broccoli that it was inedibleSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special OccasionOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/16/2014The food and service were amazing! It was my wife's birthday and it couldn't of went any better. Our waiter Jody was amazing and made us feel like we were the only diners in the room. And the Happy Birthday Menu was a wonderful touch...can't wait to go back!!Special Features:
- DISAPPOINTEDOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/19/2014too few steak choices. hash brown potatoes were cold in middle. MUCH too expensive for what you get. will not return.Special Features:
- Romantic DinnerCbanger42Dined on 4/18/2014Dinner at Morton's was a very pleasant and romantic experience. Truly one of the best steaks that I have ever had in my life. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not what they once wereCTLeftyVIPDined on 4/13/2014For us, Morton's was always the 'go to' place for a special occasion. We knew that we would get a great meal. The quality of Morton's has gone way down, at least the one in Stamford. The presentation of both the meal and the desserts is gone. And the choices, although expanded is very ordinary. The caesar salad was very good, but loaded with slices of cheese but not one crouton. The entrees were good, but they used to be outstanding. The portion size is a great deal smaller. One big example is the fresh berries with sabayon. You could easily count the number of berries (and it was a small number) and the sabayon was more like whipped cream.Special Features:
- ConsistentJoePVIPDined on 4/5/2014Like most Morton's the steaks were delicious particulary the cajun ribeye and the service prompt and attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Morton's has delicious primeOppi328VIPDined on 3/30/2014Morton's has delicious prime steaks! I had the baked seafood appetizer which consists of 1 oyster Rockefeller, 1 crab cake, 1 scallop wrapped in bacon, and 1 shrimp Alexander. It was delicious! My son had a tomato and onion salad ,and my husband had a chopped salad. All of us had steaks for our entrees. I had a porterhouse, my son had a filet, and my husband had a sirloin. For dessert, we ordered one chocolatiers soufflé . Morton's offers 4 different soufflés. We got to choose between chocolate, lemon, raspberry, and granmaniere. We recommend this restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Find whatever you're craving, see what's good at any restaurant and learn what foodspotters, friends and experts love wherever you go.
So dense, yet creamy — better share it with someone, because it's quite filling, especially after the rich dish you probably had before this dessert.

iPerbole: Claims that the iPhone will change the world are all part of the iPerbole surrounding the cultish company.
I'm too busy today at work to say much more than that, but for those of you who are slacking, I highly recommend the Urban Dictionary site. It's freaking hilarious. You can lose 45 minutes there without even trying.
Another of my favorites:
hostage lunch: Meal purchased by the company, often pizza, and delivered for employees who bosses require them to attend a meeting or work over their lunch hour.
The only bad thing about the site is when you think you've come up with a super-clever neologism, as I did the other day, you log on to find it's actually a "totally-last-week-logism." Oh well. Nothing new under the sun and all that, I know.

Mindless Behavior Love Story Chapter 2
Roc Royal's POV
The girl I sang to was really pretty. I wish she was one of the girls we had to meet in the room. Man she was beautiful.
RayRay:Roc you ok
Roc Royal:huh yeah im, im cool
Prodigy:so what was up with you and the girl you was singing to Roc
Roc Royal:what do you mean
RayRay:you put your hand around her waist

Princeton:so nothing you never do that
Roc Royal:I always do that
Prodigy:no u dont
Roc Royal:then what do I do
RayRay:you usually just put your hand on their shoulder and smile and sing to them
Roc Royal:so I did something different this time no big deal
Princeton:oh I get it
Roc Royal:get what
Princeton:out of all of the beautiful girls you sang to you like this one
Roc Royal:yeah so
RayRay:oh and he admits it
Prodigy:I was wondering why you pulled her so close
Princeton:right any closer and ya'll could have been joined at the hip
Roc Royal:im probably never gone see her again
Prodigy:think again
I looked up and the four girls we sang to were standing by the backstage entrance.
Jordin's POV
When we went backstage we stood there trying to find someone to tell us where to go so we can meet Mindless Behavior. I was so happy when Roc Royal sang to me. He put his around my waist and I loved it.

Jordin:what where how's my hair
KJ:see she likes him
Rayven:shhh here they come
Princeton:hi ladies you must be the four that get to sit in our dressing room and talk to us
None of us spoke because we were in shock that Princeton was talking to us then Mady spoke up.
Mady:hi im Mady
Prodigy:uh im Prodigy
RayRay:maybe we should go to our dressing room now ok then we'll introduce everybody
Roc Royal:ok
In the Dressing Room
Princeton's POV
So i turns out that the girls that we sang to are the girls that got to meet us. Its really fun talking to them. We learned two of them are twins, even though we could already tell they were.The one they call KJ has a streak in her hair so we can tell them apart. Rayven, the one I sang to, likes Micheal Jackson a lot just like us she loves music and she can sing really good. They told us they were in their own group called One of AKind.Me and the guys had a really good time with the girls.
Princeton:ok so ladies we had a lot of fun with you but we have to tell you something
Rayven:we have to leave
RayRay:actually you do
KJ:why we were having so much fun
Prodigy:wll you have to ask your parents if you can be our back up dancers
Roc Royal:we saw you guys dancing ihe audience and we would love it if you guys could come on tour with us for the next two months and then over seas
Rest of Girls:no!
KJ:what do you meanno
Mady:finals are coming up
Rayven:I have volenteer work
Jordin:im not a traveling person
KJ:come on please
Rest of Girls:no
Mady:we cant
KJ:Mady, you would rather sit at home and study for some stupid finals than live the dream and travel
Mady:I have to study, im not like you I actually like to learn and I actually make it pass a D
KJ:that is only math I at least make a C- ineverything elseand what would be a better learning experience than traveling the world and seeing big buldings and stuff
Mady:I guess i'll go
KJ:and Rayven this is volunteer work just think about it you are volunteering to dance for Mindless Behavior
Rayven:ok im in
KJ:and Jordin if you get sick we'll just give you some medicine or let you lay down and we're going to places like Paris and Germany
Jordin:ok im going
Roc Royal:yes.... for all of you
Prodigy:ok well can I see one of your phones
Mady:here you go
Prodigy:um thanks well here is my cellphone number and call us tonight if your parents say yes
Mady:ok we'll call
KJ:ok we have to go ask Julian
Jordin:I have to ask my parents
At The Twins House
Mady's POV
I cant believe we might be going on tour with Mindless Behavior. But first me and KJ have to ask our 23 year old brother Julian I hope he says yes.
Mady:come on we have to ask him
KJ:you sure you're ready
KJ:ok lets go
We walked down stairs and saw Julian kissing his girlfriend Destiny.
KJ:oh gross get a room
Julian:what do you guys want
KJ:we want to know if you can get a room
Julian:I cant because you two are here
Mady:that brings us to our next question and I will give the floor to the sweet talker
KJ:thank you sweet nerd I will take the floor now I have a question for you, young Julian
Julian:aahh this ought to begood
KJ:now how would you feel if me and Mady would be gone for say 4 months
Julian:well it depends on how many times you call me
KJ:ok so that brings me to my next question
Julian:ok what is it
KJ:can we go on tour with Mindless Behavior, Jordin and Rayven are going too they want us to be backup dancers
Julain:will you calm me 3 times a week
Mady:no way we call you once a week
Julian:3 or you cant go
KJ:dont worry sweet nerd I got this, how about we meet in the middle and you make it 2 times
Julian:deal you can go
Me and KJ ran upstairs super happy we called Jordin and Rayven and found out they could go so we turned on our webcams and we helped each other pack our cutest clothes.
Jordin:you think maybe Roc Royal will think my outfit is cute
Rest of Girls in Unison:because if he does you would be toghether forever
Jordin:oh be quiet
KJ:he is frustrating me
KJ:Andy he wont answer his phone
Jordin:I cant believe you even go out with him
KJ:theres nothing wrong with him
Mady:girl I've said this once and I'll say it again
Rest of Girls in Unison:he's not right for you, I think you should brek up with him
Mady:ok we hang out with other way too much
Mady:ok you guys totally have to come over
KJ:yeah its the only way Julian lets me get drunk off of kool aid
Jordin:but first call Prodigy and tell them we can come
Mady:ok I'll call him
Mady:I know
Mady:um hi is this Prodigy
Mady:this is Mady one of the girls you met earlier
Prodigy:oh yeah I remember
Mady:well all of our parents and guardians said we could go
Prodigy:ok great the buses will be there at 10 just give me your address
I gave him our address and tnked him the last thing he said was this:"I look forward to seeing you, Mady"
Jordin:ladies say it with me
Girls exept Mady:I look forward to seeing you, Mady
Mady:oh be quiet
KJ:but Mady hes looking forward to seeing you at 10
Rayven:you better wear acute outfit
Jordin:because a good first impression is always good
KJ:but this is our second impression
Jordin:so still second impressions are important
KJ:I guess so right Mady, Mady
Mady:sorry it shocks me when you correct someone
Rayven:see KJ it is good when you think sometimes
KJ:yes but it depends on what im thinking about
Rayven:ok so we'll se you guys in ten minutes
Mady:ok say bye to your parents bcause thats the last time you'll see them for 4 months oh and bring money
Jordin:ok see you in 10
KJ:see ya
We signed off and me and KJ waited for Jordin and Rayven nd Jordin to come over. When they got there we all sat in the kitchen and got drunk off of kool aid just like KJ said. We went to bed at 11 since we would have to wake up early in the morning. Man I cant believe me, my twin sister and my two best friends are touring with Mindless Behavior. This is like a dream come true. I cant wait.

TSS on the Road
WHEATON, IL — Good morning everyone. The first ever TSS road trip is done and we're headed home. Our travels took us to Wheaton, Illinois and we accomplished a number of things. We toured and photographed some local museums (like the Billy Graham Museum) then headed over to Crossway / ESV for a photographic tour through their facility. We experienced a day in the life of uber blogger Justin Taylor. And finally we traveled up to Wheaton College for an interview with Dr. Leland Ryken about the new ESV Literary Study Bible. Over the next few days we will be sharing all this and more.
For now, here is a pictorial appetizer of Justin with his beloved Dwight Schrute bobble head. Enjoy …

Smoothie Your Way to a Healthier Life
Monday, March 7, 2011
Having a tough time consuming your recommended servings of fruit per day? Ever tried making a smoothie? Smoothies are a quick and easy way to fit in your daily recommended intake of fruits while enjoying a delicious sweet treat. All you need is a blender, some fruit, and some juice. The best part, you can hide other healthy foods in them too! My personal favorite smoothie is what I call the Tropical Island Smoothie. Here's the recipe:
¾ cup frozen mango
¼ cup frozen strawberry
1 inch slice of banana
¼ cup pineapple
1 cup of orange juice
Put all the fruit into a blender with approximately ¾ cup of the orange juice. Blend until it starts to get smooth and gradually add the last ¼ cup of orange juice until desired thickness. Occasionally I mix my orange juice with a little bit of water so the orange flavor isn't overpowering over all of the other delicious fruit flavors.
Other great options to add into your smoothie to give it an extra healthy punch are vegetables! Adding just a few leaves of romaine lettuce, kale, or even some carrots or broccoli can add the benefits of vegetables while masking the taste with the fruit.
The rule of thumb with smoothies is to put in whatever fruits and vegetables you like and test it until you get your desired flavor. Some people use yogurts and sherbet, while others use frozen fruit or ice. Whatever your preference, remember that smoothies are a great way to get your recommended daily intake of fruits, and are great snacks or meals to keep you full longer.

Key considerations when selecting a video compression algorithm: Part 2
A comparison between H.264, MJPEG and other common compression schemes for surveillance video
Frame-based compression like MJPEG suffers no video quality degradation with fast moving objects. If you are using temporal compression like H.264 to capture fast objects, then choose your H.264 profile wisely because all H.264 profiles are not created equal. There is a direct relationship between the video quality of moving objects and the H.264 profile chosen. Lower quality H.264 cameras use a very "light" profile like the one known as "Constrained Baseline", and this can result in substantially lower video quality for moving objects. As with many technologies, there is no free lunch; less computing power in the camera equals lower performance.
To illustrate, consider a camera with a 20-foot field of view. A normal person running past that camera would be in the field of view for about 2 seconds (100-meter world record holder Usain Bolt could cross the camera's field of view in 0.6 seconds!). A low quality H.264 camera running at 7.5 frames/second (fps) may not capture a single true image (key frame) of that normal person, instead producing 15 "estimated" frames, thus making clear video of the subject improbable. For this reason, we recommend considering H.264 only when you need 15 fps video or higher. For those applications where the surveillance system needs to capture even faster objects such as moving cars or fast moving people, the frame rate should be even higher if the video system is to do its job appropriately. Of course, these higher frame rates will increase the bandwidth and storage requirements of the overall system.
7. Camera Motion [Video Environment]
Camera Motion represents the worst case scenario for temporal compression algorithms because it represents 100 percent scene motion at all times (see Consideration #5). Camera motion can be caused by wind or vibrations, a pole swaying, or by panning, tilting, or zooming (PTZ) a camera. It can also be the result of a mobile application such as cameras mounted in trains, buses, police cars or emergency vehicles. H.264 video from an actively panning PTZ camera is very poor quality, which underscores the critical role scene motion plays in the selection of H.264 compression for a given application. For this reason, we recommend a frame-based compression like MJPEG for any mobile application or PTZ camera application, regardless of the impact of the other considerations we have outlined above.
In closing, here are some important rules of thumb based on the considerations outlined above:
- When using H.264 compression, be sure to factor in weather and lighting conditions when calculating bandwidth and storage needs.
- Select H.264 when there will be less than 20 percent maximum motion in the scene.
- Select MJPEG or utilize high frame rate H.264 compression when attempting to capture faster moving objects.
- Select MJPEG if the camera is on a mobile platform or in a PTZ unit.
In the third and final article of this series, look for a discussion of our final two considerations - the user requirements for recording and live viewing -- as well as more recommendations based on all nine considerations for what compression methodology is best for your application.

Slow-Cooker Garlicky Shrimp
The gentle heat of the slow cooker is terrific for producing shrimp that are not overcooked. The poaching oil gets a 30-minute head start to develop flavor. For easy, hands-on eating, leave the tails on the shrimp. You'll need a 5- or 6-quart slow cooker. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon smoked Spanish paprika (pimenton; may substitute sweet paprika)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 pounds extra-large (26-30 count) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon minced flat-leaf parsley, for garnish
Combine the oil, garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes in the slow cooker, stirring until blended. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes.
Stir in the shrimp to coat evenly; cover and cook on high for about 10 minutes. Stir to ensure the shrimp are cooking evenly, recover and cook 10 more minutes, until all of the shrimp are just opaque.
Transfer the shrimp and some of the sauce to a wide, shallow serving dish. Sprinkle with the parsley. Serve warm. Makes 8 appetizer servings.

Lindsay Lohan punched another woman in the face over Max from the boy band "The Wanted" last night ... and we've learned Max was turned off by the fact LiLo was sloppy drunk inside the club ... this according to sources at the club.
We're told ... Lindsay went to the Justin Bieber concert -- but not to see the Biebs -- "The Wanted" was the opening act ... and Lindsay has been scoping Max out for the last few days.
She's not the only one either -- on his way out of his NYC hotel yesterday, Max was swarmed by adoring female fans ... and he even kissed a few.
Sources say Lindsay tried to get backstage after the concert to see him -- but she was blocked. Fast forward to later that evening when Lindsay met up with Max, Jay and Tom at a hotel bar.
The four of them -- along with one of LiLo's friends -- then went to the club Avenue together.
As the evening wore on, we're told Lindsay got drunker and drunker ... and it turned Max off. He then started talking to another woman, which enraged Lindsay. That woman is the one Lindsay is accused of battering. (FYI -- Max was also really drunk).
Ironically, Max washed his hands of both of them -- found another girl in the club -- and went home with her instead ... while Lindsay ended up in jail.
If Lindsay's life was a movie I would get out of the theater thinking the same I think about Mission Impossible: This could never happen in real life is just to screw up to even pretend to be true.
For "crying out loud", will someone please lock this "pathological lying" cow up and "throw away the key"!!! Incarceration is her "only" hope for "meaningful " rehabilitation. As long as she believes she can avoid doing "jail time", she won't change!!!
The champagne glasses are flying high tonight!!!
Higher than Lindsay Lohan!
Time now for a Kraptashian to make an appearance via a bonehead comment about the one in Kuwait just to make sure no one forgets the Klan.
Watch, it's coming.
Yep...predictable. shell go to rehabilitate AGAIN in hopes if avoiding jail. Rehab where she will do as she pleases and break every rule. She will have doctors scripts. For adderal and ambient and Dana's etc. And of course those mess will meed upped Bc of the "stress" shes going thru. Sigh....what a joke she is. Hope the judge says yes you're young to Rehab AGAIN and take your mother with you...but you're doing it AFTER Max time I can give u in jail" jail first
Never kiss your fans. It's like telling your stalkers "I want you to follow me so I can file a lawsuit later" and thus, Overly Attached Fans are born. And mostly without a brain, so they're quite stupid. (Bieber fans for example)
Yeah, whatever...she'll get another 30 days and then be free again.
I thought she was sober?
How many stories ya'll think TMZ is going to get off this SLAG today?
I'm just curious...after you hound and harass this poor girl into the cemetery...who is next?
I thought she saud she was turning over a leaf? LMAO That was what a few weeks ago?
So, Radar is reporting she's going to try to get rehab instead of jail, I guess because it worked so well last time. I think that would involve more probation, Lindsholio can't handle probation.
I think Lindsay is crazy enough to choose jail over rehab. I don't think Lindsay will easily agree with 6 months of rehab since she would only spend a few days in jail anyway.
About Gavin...does anything Lindsay related has any logic?? Maybe she wanted the seat he was using...maybe she wanted Gavin to go to the station and say he was the one who punched the women...maybe she just wanted to play with his barbie doll
"Lindsay was just looking for trouble. She totally sucker-punched that girl in the face out of nowhere! Nobody saw it coming," the eyewitness told RadarOnline.com.
"Lindsay went wild. She was kicking and screaming, cursing at the girl and then spit at her."
Does anyone know why (in the video) she's yelling at Gavin to get out of the car?
I love TMZ.... Check my comedy out on youtube.com/uebtv
As if he would lower himself for skanky LILO. Check ou his ex. She plays Tin McIntyre Coronation Street. Now that's a gorgeous woman!!

I raise the trade-request issue in part because Jacoby Ellsbury's agent is acutely aware of the draft-pick burden after his offseason experiences with Kyle Lohse and Michael Bourn.
I'm not sure, but I think the draft pick lost by the signing team would not change if Ellsbury is traded after the season starts, the only change is to the team that loses Ellsbury after the season would get no comp pick no matter if they made a qualitfying offer or not.
So, if this is true, there's no incentive to Ellsbury or Boras to wish or ask for Jacoby to be traded mid season, in terms of what has happened to Lohse.

Chelsea Houska is a girl who changes her hair color more often than she changes her mind -- all in the name of being a good cosmetology student, natch. But the Teen Mom 2 star made a move a little more drastic this week. Chelsea got a new tattoo! And it looks like this one's permanent.
After all, why else would she be apologizing to her pops, Randy Houska, for getting inked? Good thing Chelsea "lalalaloves" her new bit of body art, because this one is here to stay. Check it out:
ð���ð���ð��¹ pic.twitter.com/ID27OMJ29h— Chelsea Houska (@ChelseaHouska) October 12, 2013
Aww! There's nothing for Randy to be upset about with this tat! It's the perfect mix of sweet and sassy -- just like his famous daughter!
More From The Stir: Josh Might Not Be Who Mackenzie Thinks He Is
Chelsea seems pretty down to earth on TV, and her choice of ink proves it. She went for something with personality, but also something small and in an area that can be covered up in more professional settings. Well done, Chels! You've done Papa Randy proud!
Do you worry about what your family will say about your tattoos?

teen mom worried what dad thinks..of tattoo.....love that headline
I love Chelsea and I love that she didn't do teen mom to become a star. She is just living her life and not allowing fame get in the way of her life and her child's life. She seems to be a good mom who is putting her future and her child's future 1st. The new tattoo is cute.
It's her body, she can do what she wants but I think it's trashy. Not my taste at all.
my dad always told both my my sister and I, it's our bodies and we are old enough to decide if we want to get tattooed or not (I have two my sis has one)

Stephanie Nitsch is a wanderlusting traveler, adrenaline junkie and flannel-loving mountain chick based in Park City. She supports her vagabond lifestyle through freelance writing in the outdoor and adventure industries.
The leaves are already slowly changing to a subtle yellowish-green, meaning summer conditions aren't gonna last much longer. When the summer season comes rolling into Park City, you have to hang onto those warm nights and long days as much as you can – which means there's a lot of mountain biking to pack in. In response to that, Canyons recently tacked some extra biking hours into the day, every Fridays throughout August until 8pm.
This past Friday, familiar faces popped up in the non-existent lift line, and even though there were a few dozen people riding, Friday night's extended hours were mellow and low-key (well, not counting the actual adrenaline rush of dropping in and screamin' down the trails).Many riders I met rolled up to Canyons after work to burn off some energy after a long week in the office and were stoked to log a few hours on their bike. But most – okay, all – were just stoked to be riding until twilight.
To top it off, Mother Nature graced Park City on Friday afternoon with a short rainstorm, giving the dirt a much needed drink and priming the conditions of the bike park for everyone who came up during the extended hours. The passing storm cooled the mountain to a near-perfect temperature, and while we weren't riding soft, hero dirt by any means, the rain had done enough to settle the dust and give your tires a good bite through berms and corners.
Don't sweat if downhill biking isn't your thing, but you're still itching to hop on your bike. The gondola (and High Meadow lift) run until 8pm and access some of my personal favorite cross-country trails in Park City like Ambush, Rob's and Colin's. If you don't want to waste the remaining daylight hours grinding out a big climb, the gondola cuts out much of the uphill battle. Hop onto the Mid-Mountain intersection at the top of the gondola, and you'll still manage to log some great miles before sunset.
There are three more nights to get your shred on at Canyons – August 17th, 24th and 31st – so dodge work a little early next Friday and come ride the bike park.
-Stephanie Nitsch

When Dr. Annabella Zawada went away for medical school she never expected to return to Northwestern Ontario.
Yet the Thunder Bay-born physician has set up practice and her life in Terrace Bay.
For her devotion to the region, Zawada was recognized as one of the Top 20 under 40 by the SHIFT Young Professional's Network at their Northern Ontario Visionary Awards at the Valhalla Inn on Saturday.
"When I came back I loved it," she said of returning home after completing her education.
"I moved somewhere even smaller than Thunder Bay and more remote and there has been so much reward from my career I could have never expected it when I went into medicine initially."
The awards are an opportunity to shine a spotlight on those making a difference in various fields across the region.
SHIFT president Nathan Lawrence said one of the primary purposes of the function is to inspire others to pursue careers at home as opposed to migrating elsewhere.
"We're a region that has historically seen much of our young talent leave for other opportunities," Lawrence said.
"SHIFT feels it's very important to recognize the young talent that is doing incredible things across the region so we can showcase to those here now either attending one of our post-secondary schools, high schools or from across the region that there are opportunities."
Nominees for the awards represent a wide spectrum of fields such as medicine, business and community leaders, as well as those making a difference in volunteer work.
The winners of the award were selected by a panel of seven judges after being nominated by members of the public. There were 72 completed nominations.
Even Zawada was taken aback by the amount of people in the room who are contributing to communities across the region.

It's so hard to eat healthy when food is so expensive. It's no wonder so much of the population is so obese. It's cheaper to pick up a hamburger through drive-thru than a salad. If you actually try to eat healthy, you spend a lot of money at the grocery store.
Has anyone found any ways to get past this? I'm trying to go low carb, but its so much cheaper to grab a loaf of bread and sandwich fixing than it is to buy lean meat, fruits, and vegetables.
Any suggestions?

Eggs. 5 dozen for $8 where I go. You can make omelets for days. Just add a little spinach and EVOO for fats.

If you are avoiding or limiting carbs you are NOT buying the bread, potatoes, crackers, pasta, cereals, etc. I have found my grocery bill has gone down.
Look for sales on meat, stock up and freeze. Buy fruits and veggies in season as you can. Frozen is always a good option for fruits and veggies and it's not that expensive.

It does get pretty expensive. I load up on frozen chicken breasts, ground turkey, ground beef... veggies. If you have a crock pot, starting some turkey chili in the morning is a great way to have lunch available for the week (and pretty inexpensive per serving). Snack on veggies and cheese, hummus. I think the hardest part is planning.

Sorry, but I don't agree at all.....You don't have to buy a salad at a drive-thru - you can buy a BAG of salad in a grocery store for half the price of a hamburger...
And to make home made hamburgers cost a lot less....
8 lean beef patties, store bought) a dozen buns, salad, tomato, and oven fries - conveniently store bought frozen ones) that makes two meals for 4 people comes to less than $16 dollars (and that's in Canada, which is a lot more expensive than the US)
Add a 12 pack of pop, diet or not, and its around $10 for four hamburgers with fries, salad and pop - and it's a lot healthier that drive thru stuff....
Can you buy all that for $10 at a drive thru?
It's an excuse....

Lots of eggs, buy the generic kind of cheese, buy lunch meat when it's on sale. Check out the various ads and buy whatever meat is on sale that week in a larger size, package up and freeze in portions. One week it might be hamburger, another week it might be pork chops, another chicken breasts. Veggies are cheap, eat lots of salads with meat/cheese/hard boiled eggs (any or all). I decided it was cheaper and more delicious to make my own ranch with half generic sour cream/half generic mayo and buy the ranch powder in bulk. If you're not buying junk food/breads/etc you should have plenty to spend on eggs, cheese, meat, veggies. If you know someone with a Costco card, see if they will take you so you can buy butter. It's just over $8 for 4 pounds of it. See if it's cheaper to buy a bag of salad mix or heads of lettuce, keeping in mind that the bags of cut salad can go bad more quickly.

I find it cheaper to eat healthy, not eat out as much, and not buy junk.
I don't do anything special other than watch my stores sales. The biggest thing I've found that has cut my grocery budget is planning out my menu and shopping ONLY off my shopping list for the menu I've prepared for the week or month. My grocery budget is generally under $400 a month which is for a family of four. And, honestly, I run a daycare so I have a group of kids eating breakfast and lunch here too.
It's a lot cheaper when you aren't buying junk you don't need. It's also a lot cheaper when you prepare all your food.
Over all, if I splurge and spend $6 on a jar of almond butter that will last me a month, I've more than made up for it in the savings by NOT going out to eat every week and cutting things like chips and alcohol.
Since I changed my diet, I find it a lot easier to get a handle on my grocery budget.

Costco 15 dozen eggs for under $20.
Beans are very cheap and although high in carbs the net carb is low and provide some protein as well...

I'm still buying some processed foods for my family, but I eat almost none of it now. In the last month I've probably consumed a processed food item 1-2 meals a day. Almost everything else is a "whole food": Chicken, beef, fish, eggs, veggies, fruit, brown rice, quinoa, popcorn.
My grocery bill is about the same as it was before, but I'm buying much less processed stuff, and much more "real food." I've been trying to stock up my pantry with "good for me" things, and am slowly transitioning to organic non GMO stuff. We are eating better than ever as a family... which is driving my 8 yr old daughter up a tree. LOL.
I'm getting creative with how I prep my whole ingredients. Like every time I bake chicken, I through an extra breast or two in... and dice up the leftovers, and pre-portion them into single serving "snack size" bags and freeze. I do the same thing with Hamburger, Brown rice & quinoa too. All my veggies and fruit that get cut, I always cut up the whole item, and save the extra in my fridge to make salads & fruit w/ yougurt a quick and easy breese. I try to pack myself a snack before I leave the house, as I'm eating every 3 hours, and can't afford the calories of "eating out" most places... quite frankly, my tastebuds have changed so much over the last 4 months that I am not even craving most of that stuff most of the time. And most depressingly, I can't drink my carmel latte anymore because it is just too sweet! Sigh. But at least my pocket book is thanking me!

A bag of salad at any grocery store probably isn't much more expensive than a hamberger at drive-thru. The problem here is for many a plate of salad doesn't give the same level of "satisfaction" than a cheesy berger. LOL
I think you can do it relatively cheaply, but it takes time for you to adjust your mind and sense of satisfaction over the new type of foods you are buying. Good luck!

I buy a roasted chicken once a week and use it all work week. I eat the legs and thighs for two meals and I add breast meat to salads, soups, etc. I am on a ridiculously low carb diet due to thyroid issues, per my doctor. I eat between 20 and 30 net carbs a day and I manage pretty well on a tight budget.

Coupons. Yes, there are so many coupons for the junkier foods. But I am seeing more and more coupons available for healthier foods. In fact, I get produce coupons from my store (Kroger). With coupons I have been able to purchase foods such as produce (fresh and bagged), cheese and yogurt, almond milk, meat and fresh fish, atkins products, powerbar products and more at lower prices, and sometimes even free.

Try finding a farmers market in your area. They usually have produce cheaper than the grocery stores and it will always be seasonal!
It is hard shopping healthy. Sometimes when my wallet hurts I wish I could just buy cheap ramen for my lunches instead of the salad & toppings + meat. Definitely stock up on freezable items when they go on sale. Make large batches of soup and freeze single portions for the future.

I eat a l o t of eggs :)!
I dont buy the bag salads because they cost more then cutting it yourself and dont last as long.
I eat alot of cabbage because its a cheap veggie (Lower in carbs) I mix onion/oil with some mix of other veggies as a filler. Frozen veggies can be cheaper however certain things I dont like frozen.
My husband bought a food saver and we buy meat in bulk now and the foodsaver has already paid for its self :)! I usually get the fattest cuts of meat which can in some cases be cheaper... unless its comes to rib eye :)!

I shop at Aldi for fresh produce (among other things). Their prices are well below even the sale prices at the bigger name-brand supermarkets. It pays to no what day the produce truck comes in so you can get the freshest and best.

It is cheaper to avoid the junk and fast food all in all. However, I too have used the reasoning that you have pointed out. But once I changed to buying food in the store, my bank card AND my tummy thanked me! Where my husband and I would spend $100+ each week in fast food/junk, I can make healthy, whole food meals & yes even low carb meals all week for around $50-$70 a week! Plus not to mention, I know ladies in my area and other states that make healthy meals for bigger families for less than I spend.
My choices:
turkey bacon
chicken breast/fillets
real cheese
lean ground beef rolls
frozen mixed veggies for stir fry
broccoli(frozen and fresh, switch it up every now and then)
asparagus (again frozen or fresh depending on the price you are comfortable with)
1 loaf of whole wheat 35 calorie bread (lasts for around 2 weeks)
My lists goes on and on. Stock your pantry with canned low carb veggies & this will cut down the bill each week or month as well.

Indian food! The best investment I ever made was shelling out £5 on spices. Once you have the basics you can make hundreds of cheap, tasty, freezable dishes. (Buy from Asian groceries, if you can. 100g packet of tumeric will set you back 69p at my local store; whereas the supermarket sells 36g for £1.69. You're paying a premium for getting it in a little glass jar.)
If you have free time and a big freezer, COOK and FREEZE!
Go to the supermarket late at night when they slash the prices of food they can't sell the next day and buy more than you can eat. You don't need to have a recipe in mind. Just buy what's cheap, find recipes once you get home, and then spend the next day cooking and freezing. The added advantage of freezing is that whenever you're hungry or you're tired and don't feel like cooking, you always have a healthy low carb meal just ten minutes away. It takes away the temptation to order pizza.
I agree with you that it's more expensive to eat well than to eat badly, but I'll share with you some advice a friend gave me - "invest in yourself." We often feel guilty when we spend money on ourselves, but good, healthful food is an investment in our health and well-being - and what is more important? The same goes for finding time to cook - invest time in taking care of yourself.
Be kind to yourself.

I have a family of 7 to feed (though many are small children) - I buy in bulk - esp meats. I just picked up an 8lb roaster chicken, a whole pork loin, boneless/skinless chicken thighs, and lean ground beef (93%) at Safeway on sale for $2/lb each. Definitely look for the sales. Buy larger cuts of meat and cut them yourselves, too. Last Xmas we got a whole beef tenderloin (a big annual splurge for us) and sliced it up ourselves using a YouTube video. I think I got the whole thing for $50 when it retails for like $35/lb if you get smaller cuts or filets. Not that any of us are eating filet regularly, but the logic applies to any large cuts.

I like to get my fruits and veggies at the stands rather than the grocery stores. Still not extremely cheap, but i can usually get about 4 full bags for about $30 at the veggie stand, versus one bad for $30 at the grocery store.

People aren't obese because they find it's cheaper to eat junk than healthy. Feeble excuse.
You can eat junk and still be thin.
You can eat healthy food and still be obese.
The best option is to eat healthy and within a sensible calorie limit for your body.

I decided it was cheaper and more delicious to make my own ranch with half generic sour cream/half generic mayo and buy the ranch powder in bulk.
I'm also a ranch fan...You should try the hidden valley ranch dip packet and mix it with a 500g container of 0% Fage greek yogurt! it tastes great, has more protein and no fat!

Stoopslinked toBrowns'openingTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS | January 04,2014CLEVELAND — Bob Stoops has so far resisted the temptation to jump to the NFL. Maybe it's time, and maybe it's with the Browns.
Oklahoma's longtime coach, fresh off the Sooners' stunning upset of Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, did little to quell rumors he may have the inside track to Cleveland's coaching vacancy.
While making the media rounds Friday, Stoops was asked about any connection to Cleveland and the Youngstown, Ohio, native was coy with his responses.
"You never know," Stoops told Oklahoma writers.
Pressed on the issue and whether it was speculation, Stoops said, "there's a lot of that."
And is that all?
"Sure," he said.
This isn't the first time Stoops' name has popped up when Cleveland has been looking to hire a coach. His Ohio roots have made him a natural candidate, but the 53-year-old has chosen to stay in the college ranks, keeping the Sooners among the nation's elite programs. Stoops has a 160-39 record at Oklahoma and became the only coach to win all four BCS bowls — Sugar, Orange, Rose and Fiesta — on Thursday night when the Sooners beat the third-ranked Crimson Tide 45-31.
Stoops received a contract extension in July from the school through the 2020 season. He signed a seven-year, $34.5 million deal in 2011.
The Browns are in coaching search mode again after firing Rob Chudzinski last week after one season. Owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner vowed to get their second coaching search in just over a year "right" this time, and landing Stoops would certainly win approval points from a skeptical Cleveland fan base tired of consistent losing.
The Browns have lost at least 10 games in each of the past six seasons and are looking for their seventh full-time coach since 1999.
On Dan Patrick's national radio show, Stoops was asked if he will ever coach in the NFL.
"That's something you never know will come your way," he said. "In life, things change from year to year and time to time, and right now I love what I'm doing and the people I work with at Oklahoma. So right now, it's not something I'm looking to pursue, but you never know down the road."
Stoops is represented by Cleveland-based agent Neil Cornrich.
The Browns would not be averse to hiring a coach without NFL experience, especially one of Stoops' stature. Haslam went hard after Chip Kelly last year, but the former Oregon coach turned down Cleveland's offer before accepting Philadelphia's job. Kelly now has the Eagles in the playoffs, while the Browns are again looking for a coach.
Seattle defensive coordinator Dan Quinn met with the Browns earlier this week and the team was scheduled to interview Arizona defensive coordinator Todd Bowles on Friday.
Haslam and Banner will reportedly interview New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels on Saturday. The 37-year-old McDaniels went 11-18 as Denver's head coach before he was fired in 2010, and is said to be ready for another shot as a head coach. The Browns can interview McDaniels because the Patriots have a playoff bye this weekend.
The Browns are also reportedly interested in speaking with Auburn coach Gus Malzahn, who is preparing his team for Monday's BCS title game against No. 1 Florida State.
The team is not commenting during its search.

I hope we're all on board with the fact that there's going to be regime change in 2013. To that end, I'm pretty disinterested in the results this year — excepting what we can learn that will help the Eagles move forward into the next era. A large part of that is discerning which players are expendable and which are the cornerstones for a new foundation.
When Andy Reid arrived in Philadelphia in 1999, he made those hard choices. He picked the players who would make the transition. That included stalwarts like Tra Thomas, Duce Staley, Brian Dawkins, Jeremiah Trotter, Troy Vincent, and Bobby Taylor. They helped form the backbone of a team that would reach four straight NFC championship games. Most of the rest of the roster, however, was gutted and rebuilt through the draft and a few key free agent signings.
As of the middle of the 2012 season, this is how I analyze the roster for the future:
Building Blocks: Players who the next coach should build the new era around. Use a scheme that plays to their strengths.
Keepers, With A Caveat: Players who could be building blocks, but we need to see a little bit more. In other words, hold that contract extension for the moment.
Tryout Candidates: May have shown some flashes, but nothing special yet. Have to play their way onto the roster in 2013.
The Oldies. These players are riding close to the expiration date. May be starter-quality now, but will they be when the rest of the team is ready to compete again?
Get Out Of Town: I actively don't want to see these players next year.
Don't Care: I feel nothing toward or against these players. At most they get a tryout.

Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 based custom ROMs just keep on coming for the Galaxy S i9000, one of the greatest devices ever made, if you don't mind my saying so. rEmIxRoM — by XDA Forum Member monish1995 — is a CM9 Android 4.0 based ROM that separates itself from the crowd by including a TouchWiz look and feel, for an experience more akin to the Samsung stock experience, which isn't usually found on Android 4.0 ROMs for the Galaxy S.
Here are some of the features of the ROM:
- Latest CM9 20120516 NIGHTLY build
- Optimus 4X Lockscreen
- Touchwiz Launcher, icons, Calculator, Clock, Memo apps.
- Samsung Apps
- Touchwiz Task Manager
- Modified framework-res for more Touchwiz Look
- MIUI Player with Widget
- Google Play Music Modified for a more Touchwiz Look
Important! Since CM9 is under active development and there is no official Android 4.0 ROM available from Samsung, there can be bugs and issues present in this ROM, though it is stable enough for daily use and certainly a good ROM for Android 4.0 and TouchWiz lovers. Check out the list of known issues in the ROM here: Known Issues
NOTE, Please Read: Since this is an AOSP based ROM, some features like 3G video calling will be unavailable as those are only possible on stock Samsung ROMs (video calls using 3rd party apps like Skype will work fine though). Also, if you use Swype as your preferred keyboard, you will need to download the beta version from beta.swype.com as Swype is also not included in the ROM.
If you're done reading everything mentioned above, let's take a look at how rEmIxRoM can be installed on your Galaxy S.
This ROM and the guide below are compatible only and only with the Samsung Galaxy S, model number i9000. It's not compatible the GT-i9003 or with any other device and may render an incompatible device unusable. Check your device model in Settings » About phone.
The methods and procedures discussed here are considered risky and you should not attempt anything if you don't know exactly what you are doing. If any damage occurs to your device, we won't be held liable.
How to Install rEmIxRoM ROM on Galaxy S i9000
- This procedure will wipe all your apps, data and settings (but it will NOT touch your SD cards, so don't worry about those). Backup your Apps and important data — bookmarks, contacts, SMS, APNs (internet settings), etc. This Android backup guide would help you.
Important! Don't forget to at least make a backup of your APN settings, which you can restore later if your data connection does not work after installing the ROM. Use the backup guide to find out how.
- Remove sim card lock, if you have set it earlier. Go here: Settings » Location and Security » Sim card lock » checkbox should be clear (not selected).
- Flash the stock XXJW4 firmware by using → this guide.
- Root XXJW4 to obtain Clockworkmod recovery (CWM) by using → this guide.
- Download the latest version of the ROM from the official development page.
- Download the Google Apps package. This will install apps like Market, Gmail, etc. which are not present in the ROM.
Download Gapps | Filename: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
- Copy the downloaded zip files from step 5 and step 6 to the SD card.
- Turn off your Galaxy S and wait for complete shutdown (wait for vibration and check capacitive button lights).
- Then, boot into CWM recovery. To do so, press and hold the Volume Up + Home buttons while powering on the phone. When the screen turns on, let go of all three buttons.
In recovery, use Volume keys to scroll up and down and power key to select an option.
- Select wipe data/factory reset, then select Yes on next screen to confirm. Wait a while till the data wipe is complete.
- Now select install zip from sdcard, then select choose zip from sdcard. Scroll to the ROM file on the sdcard and select it.

Political Power and Economic Policy
AbstractThis book analyzes the links between political economics, governance structures and the distribution of political power in economic policy making. The book theoretically explains and empirically quantifies these interactions. The analysis includes both public good policies and redistributive policies. Part I of the book presents the conceptual foundations of political-economic bargaining and interest group analysis. After presenting the underlying theory, Part II of the book examines ideology, prescription and political power coefficients; Part III analyzes a number of specific structures; and Part IV presents a framework for political econometrics with a number of empirical applications and testable hypotheses. In all four parts of the book, four analytical dimensions of public policy are distinguished: governance structures, political economy, mechanism design and incidence.

Cars Land's float is really nice; Disney was able to recreate that land in a small space. The Mater part was a nice touch, but they are not able to move his mouth like they do for the ride.
