If you are a steak-lover, I hope that the title of this post + luscious photo is enticing enough for you to read though the entire article. Because I promise you that it's worth it. Even if you don't eat steak, this is a must-read…as you can impress the hell outta your carnivorean friends (and sometimes, when you're a vegetarian in a herd of carnivores…it would just be nice to have that extra, "dude….you didn't know that about steak???!" in your pocket.)
My entire family (including the 2 yr old kid) just adores any type of steak recipe…you could probably classify us as professional steak-eaters. In fact, it is my husband's life-long quest to hone his grilling technique so that our steaks at home turn out charred crusty on the outside and perfectly medium-rare on the inside. With grill marks for show, of course. Seriously, we are too cheap to eat out and would rather cook a nice steak recipe at home. For the past 4 months, we have been experimenting with how to get full, juicy, beefy flavor of a ribeye with butter-knife tenderness of a filet mignon without feel like getting ripped off buying Prime cuts. And after 4 months of eating steak 2x a week, I think we've figured it out. So, my friends, I am offering you a very juicy secret, one that will turn an ordinary "Choice" cut of steak into a gucci "Prime" cut (And yes, I know what "Choice" and "Prime" means – it's the marbling. The salting doesn't affect fat content – I'm using those terms as a figure of speech and something people can relate to)
Do you know the joy of buying Choice and eating Prime? It's like buying a Hyundai and getting a free mail-in rebate for a BMW upgrade!!!
Here's two nice pieces of regular 'ol supermarket steak. They're about 1.25 inches thick, so I'll let them salt for about 1.25 hours.
Season liberally with kosher salt on both sides with kosher or sea salt. If you are used to using regular table salt, this may look like a ton of salt, but just remember that kosher and sea salt flakes are 2-3x the size of table salt.
And then just let it sit on your counter.
After 15 minutes, it will look like this — you can see how the meat's water is starting to come up to the surface — and that some of the salt is still on the surface of the steak.
After 30 minutes, you'll see more water:
After almost an hour:
And now 1.25 hours – see all that water? You can also see that there's still salt on the surface of the steak.
The next step is to discard the water, rinse the steak really well to rid of all the salt. Pat very dry. Very very dry with clean paper towels so that absolutely no moisture is left on the steak.
Then it's time to cook.
Before y'all throw a hissy fit, just hear me out. I first learned of this technique from Judy Rodgers' The Zuni Cafe Cookbook: A Compendium of Recipes and Cooking Lessons from San Francisco's Beloved Restaurant. Judy massively salts her chicken before roasting, and I've adapted the practice to steaks. Thanks to a couple of other books (McGee's On Food and Cooking and Alton Brown's I'm Just Here For the Food), and a few fellow bloggers, I have an explanation of how it works.
Oh, and if the drawings look like a 3rd grader did it, too bad….YOU try drawing with a laptop touch-pad and a glass of bourbon on the rocks.
All of you who season JUST before grilling – this is what you are really doing to the meat. Did you know that? All the water comes to the surface and if you don't pat super-dry, you're basically STEAMING the meat. Plus, your salt just sits on the surface of the steak, leaving the interior tasteless.
Now – note that only a little of the salt gets to go back into the meat. Don't worry – you aren't going to be eating all that salt!
Bourbon does that to me too.
I can hear it now..BUT!!! What of all the water that stayed on the surface of the meat? Aren't you drawing all the moisture out of the meat? Will it taste like a salt lick? (*%!*%!@#!#!!! I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS STEAK RECIPE!!!
Pull your pants back on and keep reading…
Cook's Illustrated January 08 issue (and you can also find it on their paid portion of their website. Just search for "Improving Cheap Roast Beef") They salt a 4lb roast beef (big, fat, thick meat) and they are using 4 tsp kosher salt – therefore their steak recipe recommends salting for 18-24 hrs. It's all related: thickness of meat : amount of salt : time.
I understand that this method will cause chaos, confusion and controversy in your household. But I encourage you to experiment: try adding spices, crushed garlic and rosemary sprigs to the salt, which will then act like Christina Aguilera dragging its entourage of flavors with it into the meat. If confusion in the household becomes unbearable, just whack'em with the hunk of salted steak..
Grilled Steak Recipe with Garlic-Herb Butter
Revised 9/13/10 to make salt ratio and timing easier to remember.
1. Buy a good sized Choice steak. I like mine 1.25 to 1.5 inches thick. Any cut of steak: Filet, Sirloin, Rib Eye, Porterhouse, T-Bone and NY Strip - they all work. Though, please remember to get steak that you'd normally buy to grill. Don't go buying some weird cut like the cow armpit and expect it to taste just like a NY Strip. You can do this with steaks less than 1", just really watch your timing. If your steak is already superbly marbled - cut back on your timing and your salt! The fattier (more marbled) the meat is, the faster the salt works its way through the meat.
2. Sprinkle 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of kosher/sea salt PER SIDE. Use the photos at beginning of the post as guide on how much salt. For every inch thickness of steak, let sit at room temperature for 1 hour.
- Less than 1-inch steak: 30-45 minutes
- 1 inch thick steak: 1 hour
- 1.25 inch steak: 1 hour and 15 minutes
If you don't have that much time -- well then, add more salt, cut back the time it sits. It's all related:
Thickness of meat : Amount of Salt : Time
And vice-versa, if you need to stretch your time, use less salt. Example: the above steaks that are 1.25" thick - I should salt for 1 hour 15 minutes. But if my timing works out that I'm not grilling for 2 hours - then I'll cut back on the salt and let it sit for 2 hours.
If you want to salt for more than 2 hours or overnight - sprinkle the steak with 1/2 the amount of salt that I've instructed (look at photos for reference), cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
3. Rinse all salt off on both sides, pat very dry with paper towels on both sides <- that part is important. Season with fresh ground pepper (no more salt is needed). Grill to your liking. Top with Garlic-Herb Butter immediately to let it oooooze and aaaahhze all over the steak.
Garlic-Herb Butter Recipe
1 stick of unsalted butter, softened (not melted, just softened)
handful of fresh herbs (any combination is fine. My fav is basil and parsley)
1-3 cloves of garlic, smushed in garlic press
To make the Garlic-Herb Butter, combine all ingredients. Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap. Spoon butter mixture on wrap. Roll and shape butter into a log. Refrigerate to firm up for 30 minutes. Slice into 1/4" disks to top the grilled steaks. You can make butter up to 3 days in advance. Make sure you use unsalted butter - the steak is seasoned perfectly already.
Another use for herb butter?
Notice the consistency in ingredients (first photo and the one below): perfect steak always go so well with homemade shoestring fries or homemade potato chips. The green stuff is just to give color to the plate. Unless it has garlic-herb butter slathered all over it too.

hi just to clarify.. when salting with herbs, spices etc. wouldnt rinsing the salt off after 1hour+ wash away that? or i didnt understand correctly? i was going to try thing out but kinda got confused? wanted to ask before doing it. i hope you can help clarify. thanks
This was a great article right up until you mentioned table salt "tastes like shit". For future reference, people don't like the word shit mentioned with food. All the appetizing pics ar now null and void. It's a shame you have such a limited vocabulary that you ruined what could have been an A+ article that went viral on Twitter. I won't be passing this one on to my 3023 Facebook friends or my 11,989 Twitter followers.
Yes I am a critic, author and blogger
And a dork
I was definitely a little scared doing this, but this resulted in the best steak I have ever made at home. Thank you!
It is baffling to see such a wonderful and informative article ridiculed for including the word "shit." What sort of sensitive and infantile individual do you find yourself in order to become so offended by such a trifle of an utterance? This, my kind sir, is the year 2012. We, as adults, use different words to express ourselves, sometimes even vulgar ones. Oh, and everybody poops.

The only thing that turned me off was your nose in the air snobbery. I'm glad that he/she told it like it is. Table salt does taste like shit. Why church it up?
And a twit.
This was a great article until you mentioned Christina Aguilera. For future reference, people don't like the words Christina Aguilera mentioned with food.
The recipe didn't work for me…I think the steak was too thin (3/4 inch), and the length of time salted was too long (1hr 20 minutes)…they were inedible they were so salty. I am going to give it a try one more time…this time with a one inch steak for EXACTLY one hour.
You, sir, need to work on your comprehensive reading, as it's clear you didn't read the article, or at least, didn't retain anything that you read.

Gahh can't delete- that was meant for a comment from last August, and other people already addressed them. Whoops. Ah well. Love the post, going to try it tonight!

I haven't tried this recipe yet, but I really enjoyed reading it. It is entertaining and very easy to understand!. "Churching it up " is a recipe for dull and boring.
Lost Appetite…try for just one day to stop being a "tight-assed and a stuck-up prick".

I have tried this 4-5 times. Every time, the texture and tenderness is great but its just too salty to be enjoyable. I noticed a few others have had this problem. It seems like too much salt "osmosises" its way into the meat and doesn't rinse off. I've used different salts, but its always the same. Am I using too much salt? Too much time?
Sounds like an excellent process. Have to give it a try! By the way ~ great cooking requires a vast vocabulary of vulgar words. My Mother swore by it
Made this at home last night with some pretty inexpensive NY strip from the ghetto Von's in Echo park. It. Was. Delicious.
Yeah well after reading your response to this wonderful article, I now am going to send it to my 5000 friends just to spite the fact that you are a conservative jack off.
I thought the above article is very informative and will try soon. I was going to do this today but my wife beat me to it and put the regular spices on the steaks before I could come down and do them this way.
Will send an email when I get to do it.
Jaden, THANK YOU SO MUCH for publishing this salting technique. I am not a very experienced cook, but I was able to make the most delicious steak for my fiance last night. It tasted like something from a very expensive restaurant! So tender and delicious.
Don't know why you would be offended by the word "shit". It's just a word. I am a 65 year old woman and he made me laugh. Maybe you need time to develop a sense of humor!
Oh phooey – I like the realness of the commentary! Keep it up, it's a fun read!
I just tenderized and barbequed a nicely marbled blade. It was so flavorful and very tender and juicy. Thanks for the great recipe!!
Just tried this with a piece that was cut from our Christmas rib roast that was tough. It was delicious and tender, one of the best steaks that we've had (we also used the herb butter.) I don't use much salt, so I was a little apprehensive, but there was no saltiness.
I tried it with New York Strip cut. It was great sale – 4pack but meat had little marbling, thus I thought this recipe would work- inky it didn't. I think the reason was, thickness was 1/2-3/4″ and needed min 1″. I left kosher salt on 45min. I rinsed extra well, and patted extra dry, yet meat still was very tough to chew and extra salty(none added after drying and grilling). So I guess have to use only 1″ or thicker and retry time stated.
Wish there was a way to tenderize thinner cuts without all the salt.
Sounds like a great recipe to try out. Loved the article and it was funny. Has anyone tried the rock salt
That was gross!yeah the steak was tender I'll give ya that but it tasted like I was eating salt! My family was so disappointed! I will NEVER do that again! U didn't say how long to rinse for, I salted it like a salt lick that was the main mistake u want to lightly salt it!

If any of you are having trouble with this recipe. Try this; marinate your steak the day before or at least a few hours before cooking. Don't bother buying the expensive marinades. Make your own. And this works on thin or thick cut steaks.
Start with the base. Use 1 cup oil(evoo) and 1/3 cup vinegar and 1/3 cup water. Continue with this ratio if more is needed. Add a pinch or two of salt per steak…Table salt or kosher, what ever you prefer. Pour over steaks and let the vinegar and salt acids break down the fibers in the meat in the fridge. Don't forget black pepper before you cook it.
Add a pinch or two of each for some fun;
Italian- garlic, basil and rosemary.
Mexican- garlic, oregano and salsa as a garnish.
Asian- Garlic and ginger.
This is the most bad-ass advice on gucci'ing steak ever. I've used this method for 4 years now, and nary a complaint from my bad ass family. Thanks!!!!!!!
Pingback: Picking the Perfect Steak...and Wine to Go Along | The Good Pour
Kosher salt is the salt to use here, kosher salt is big yet flat so that it will stick to the meat better. What you're doing to the meat is NOT breaking down proteins. Salting is actually pulling out moisture from the meat. This method can be reproduced with your fridge and dry aging but it takes longer.
Also, fuck, shit, bitch, asshole, cunt, dick and fuckwad. Say whatever you want. Readers will come if you give out sound advice
I made this last night with so-so results. I used fairly cheap steak that was 1″ thick. I salted each side with about 2/3 tsp salt and left it for 45 min. I also rubbed crushed garlic and chopped rosemary on. I rinsed it very well and patted dry very well, seasoned with fresh ground pepper, then grilled. They were pretty tender, though definitely not "gucci", and I think it's possible they were tender to begin with. They also tasted SUPER salty. Not to the point where it tasted bad, but way more than my liking. Maybe I should cut it back to 1/4 teaspoon? The garlic herb butter was great though! I used that on my baked potatoes as well.
Less salt sounds good. I have never measured the amount of salt that I use, I just use the salt shaker and "eye-ball" it. I use enough salt to see it (more than I would use if I was just to season it – probably twice as much)
I regularly look on sites like this for ideas for when im cooking meals, and when i find a good recipe like this I save it to a folder in my favourites, yeah you guessed what i named the folder "cookin shit"……..
p.s I will try this on tomorrow nights steak night.
That's cute!
i just tried this and was very disapointed with the results, it was way to salty, i tried the recipe again but with alot less salt and the results were stunning, so i came to the conclusion that different cuts of steak will require more/less salting we shall have to experiment.
ha, pooop.
I tried this out tonight but with less than half of the time of exposure to salt, and it came out not bad at all. Next time, however, I will increase the time of salt exposure closer to the recommendation. I've even posted not only a photo of the steak being cooked but have recommended this website as well on my facebook food page: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=334521533265826&set=a.228574883860492.73654.228447563873224&type=1&theater
Thanks!! The whole article was awesome!! I loved our steaks last night too!!! Thank you 1000 times!
Sodium Chloride is sodium chloride! whether its kosher or rock salt or table salt or any other kind of NaCl ! Know what salt tastes like ? Salt! All salt is the same, paying twice the odds for larger crystals is a joke.
Actually, table salt in many countries is iodized, which is what changes the flavour. It's much harsher. Kosher salt will not have any iodine added and its coarse textures lends itself well to this type of work.
Thank you Matthew, that makes a lot of sense
Used this technique on 3/4″ thick kangaroo meat. Too bad i didn't follow the salting time (more than 1 hour), and my kangaroo steaks turned out to be too salty.
I guess next time i should either cut the salting time back to 45 minutes or just dilute the salt with a whole lot of spices.
Anyway, great article! I'm a first time steak cooker, and all of this is gonna help build up my skills!
Hah!, that's my grocery store too. Works with cheap pork from The "A" Grocery in Echo Park too.

By Jack Kuenzie - bio | email
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The fight over hundreds of millions in federal cash that we've followed for months is nearing its endgame.
School administrators and two South Carolina students went up against Gov. Mark Sanford in court Wednesday.
The court is expected to rule on the cases by the end of the week. The governor says whatever is decided will stand.
Wednesday's the court first heard the suit filed by students Casey Edwards and Justin Williams, then the action brought by the Association of School Administrators.
Chief Justice Jean Toal took aim at the governor's claim that he alone controls a disputed chunk of federal stimulus money.
"He lost or legitimately engaged in battle under the constitution of this state. And the rest is purely ministerial is it not?" said Toal.
Columbia attorney Dick Harpootlian, representing Edwards and Williams says the state has "from its beginning" rejected executive authority.
"I think Justice Beatty summarized it when he asked the governor's lawyer if he thought the governor was king. I think that may summarize this entire case," said Harpootlian.
However, Bob Cook, representing Attorney General Henry McMaster, says the state's position is to "preserve and protect" the state constitution.
Answering for Governor Mark Sanford was attorney Adam Charnes.
"The constitution establishes the governor as the supreme executive authority of the state. And according to what the plaintiffs in these cases, the petitioners have argued essentially that is meaningless. The governor is nothing more than a robot. And the General Assembly can come in and program the robot to do whatever the General Assembly wants," said Charnes.
Sanford has spent months trying to convince the state that he should have final say over how some federal stimulus dollars are spent.
After a federal judge sent two lawsuits back to the South Carolina Supreme Court Monday, the governor seemed to be preparing for another setback.
"So I think that this is how it all plays out in South Carolina come Wednesday. It looks like we will be bound to spend that money," said Sanford.
In documents filed with the state court Tuesday morning, his legal team contends the central legal issue in both cases is "whether the General Assembly may use a state law to appropriate Governor Sanford's exclusive discretionary authority" under federal law.
The governor makes a similar claim in the suit he filed against the state in federal court, but that case is not up for consideration Wednesday.
Also awaiting resolution of its lawsuit, the state's Association of School Administrators.
Director Molly Spearman bristled at suggestions by the governor this week that the court could be predisposed in favor of lawmakers who determine its own funding.
"I have the highest faith in the integrity of the Supreme Court of this state and to tell you honestly as a citizen I'm offended that our governor would even mention such a thing," said Spearman.
Attorney General Henry McMaster says the court's decision could have an impact beyond the immediate funding issue.
"This case and others like it could turn back the clock on that and do just the opposite and reduce the powers of the governor to almost irrelevancy. And that's the danger of the case," said McMaster.

Chairman Eldrin Bell says he wants to hear from Clayton county residents on the proposed 2011 budget. If adopted as is, employee salaries will be lowered by 4 percent, among other departmental cuts systemwide. So if you've got an opinion on this subject, now is the time to share it with your elected officials.
The majority of Clayton county employees have not received a pay increase since 2006, and even that raise wasn't what it appeared to be since it was offset by an increase in employee benefit contributions. So it is understandable why most have stated that they would prefer furlough days in lieu of a pay cut this go-round.
In addition, it is inevitable that some valuable workers will seek employment elsewhere if a salary decrease occurs. Will doing so be harder to accomplish in this economy? Absolutely – but it's not impossible. And with no disrespect to those working in other capacities, as a resident, the potential loss of manpower in the public safety realm (on and

You're assuming Ecks lacks the cunning to make such decisions, but it seems to me you're giving a huge advantage to Amanitar with his bash and entangle option? Seems a tad unfair to me. If you're going to assume that a boss is using their best available strategy, be fair and apply it to both.
Besides, I don't have to assume anything, since Ecks doesn't need to deliberately pick the healthy mushrooms. He can randomly attack them (though personally, my experience is that Ecks does pick somebody pretty well who to attack with his aggro dropping), and even with his AOE, he can get the buff, so it's not really a valid objection. At the worst? He kills a bunch of the poisonous mushrooms so he doesn't get hurt by them, then springs back to attack Amanitar, and eventually either kills some healthy ones, or goes into a frenzy on his own.
Sorry, but I just don't see Amanitar winning the fight.

This is the thing: When you hit 28 or 30, everything begins to divide. You can see very clearly two kinds of people. On one side, people who have used their 20s to learn and grow, to find … themselves and their dreams, people who know what works and what doesn't, who have pushed through to become real live adults. Then there's the other kind, who are hanging onto college, or high school even, with all their might. They've stayed in jobs they hate, because they're too scared to get another one. They've stayed with men or women who are good but not great, because they don't want to be lonely. … they mean to develop intimate friendships, they mean to stop drinking like life is one big frat party. But they don't do those things, so they live in an extended adolescence, no closer to adulthood than when they graduated.
Don't be like that. Don't get stuck. Move, travel, take a class, take a risk. There is a season for wildness and a season for settledness, and this is neither. This season is about becoming. Don't lose yourself at happy hour, but don't lose yourself on the corporate ladder either. Stop every once in a while and go out to coffee or climb in bed with your journal.
Ask yourself some good questions like: "Am I proud of the life I'm living? What have I tried this month? … Do the people I'm spending time with give me life, or make me feel small? Is there any brokenness in my life that's keeping me from moving forward?"
Now is your time. Walk closely with people you love, and with people who believe … life is a grand adventure. Don't get stuck in the past, and don't try to fast-forward yourself into a future you haven't yet earned. Give today all the love and intensity and courage you can, and keep traveling honestly along life's path.— Relevant magazine (via charliebravo)
1. Run away to Brooklyn. Rent an apartment with a claw footed bathtub. Commute to Manhattan during the week and put in hours at a menial publishing job. Drive home to New Jersey on weekends to swim in the pool and cry to your mother. Smoke Gauloises on the fire escape. Let yellowing issues of Rolling Stone and Vogue pile into a protective fortress around your bed. Listen to Cat Power. Fall asleep mostly naked beneath the duvet watching Sportscenter and drinking earl grey. Date a Yankees fan and kiss his hands on the 4 Train into the Bronx.
2. Run away to Barcelona. Eat milk chocolate magnum bars and drink cheap champagne. Burst into charming fits of laughter whenever you get embarrassed about butchering the Catalan language. Wear denim cutoffs, Dr. Pepper chapstick, and very little else. Go dancing at 3 a.m. Whiten your teeth. Tan your shoulders. Braid feathers into your hair. Perpetually wake up with sand caught in the thin cotton sheets of your tiny bed. Listen to the Rolling Stones and kiss all the longhaired boys you can get your hands on without ever having to apologize.
3. Run away to Los Angeles. Sublet a studio in Venice three blocks from the beach. Listen to top 40 radio. Go to Chateau Marmont and charge drinks you can't afford to a long-dormant credit card. Sleep with a television actor who lives in the valley. Sleep with a musician who lives in Bel Air. Break things off with both of them when gas prices begin to rise. Find Gilda Radner's star on the Walk Of Fame and swallow a sob when you see the filthy cement around her name is cracked. Walk through the Venice Canals until the sun sets and you forget your own name. Call your mother crying from the parking lot of a 24-hour Ralph's supermarket. Tell her you want to come home.
4. Run away to Paris. Gaze at the pink and pistachio glow of macarons in the window on Boulevard Saint-Germain. Listen to Joni Mitchell. Meet an Argentinean man in the Latin Quarter for drinks. Melt into his accent and kiss him goodnight, but return to your apartment alone because his face doesn't look enough like the man's you are trying to forget. Get lost in the Richelieu Wing of the Louvre, admiring Napoleon's fine red damask. Walk alone along the Seine in an old dress, ten-dollar shoes, and an Hermes scarf. Fumble with the locks on the fence overlooking the river. They all have lovers' names etched into them and the girl who left the red heart-shaped lock has the same name as you.
5. Run away to Martha's Vineyard. Write heartbroken stories during the day in front of a large fan that blows curls of humid hair across your tired face. Take a waitress job at The Black Dog at night and try hard not to drop too many trays. Learn to ride a moped. Pretend you're a Kennedy. Listen to Carly Simon. Eat hand-churned ice cream out of waffle cones. Visit the flying horses and consider how many girls just like you have sat on the same horse clutching for the same brass ring. Get stoned and dance barefoot down the length of the eroded Jaws beach. Date a Red Sox fan. Yell at each other during baseball games, and then kiss and make up between tangled sheets.
Thank you :) You're too sweet! I've been traveling and also busy with work and haven't had much time to post. I just posted a few things and here are two photos from my recent trip to Venice. Xoxo

Happy Wednesday y'all! I've been watching too much Nashville and desperately want to be Southern so I've started saying y'all. Here's my weekly WTF moments from my not-so-Southern life in Ontario:
Reader Comment of the Week: One of my dear friends posted this picture on Facebook last night. It is an advertisement for a local gym offering a free workout and pizza...for everyone! Now, I don't know about you, but this seems really counterproductive. They really should be offering something healthier than pizza. What kind of message is this gym sending? However, with the name "Fit 4 Less" it already sounds like they cut corners. Also note, it was March 5 when she saw the sign and the class was for February 27. Seems like they are too busy eating pizza to remove the outdated sign!
- My fiance received a letter with a South African stamp on it. However, the letter inside was from "Acru Asset Management Ltd." in Hong Kong. They were writing to let him know that they discovered $17 million left to his late ancestor and all they needed was a telephone and fax number and we would be millionaires! Do people actually think these scams are real? We have no idea how someone in South Africa got our address, but we likely won't be seeing any dolla billz anytime soon.
- Poor John Travolta. I'm sure you've all heard how he straight up butchered Adele Dazeem, I mean Idina Menzel's name at the Oscars. Some people are saying Travolta suffers from dyslexia and has a hard time reading off teleprompters. To that I say, he is an actor who, by profession, is forced to memorize hundreds of pages of dialogue. He couldn't memorize her name? In honour of this epic mishap, Travoltify your name. Mine is Teejay Thompseen.

North Texas Mean Green have an upset on their minds. On a day in which some highly ranked teams are absolutely dismantling their competition (see Ohio State and Louisville), North Texas has pulled even against the Bulldogs early in the second half after a blocked punt was recovered and returned for a touchdown.
The Mean Green were trailing 21-14 at the half but have come out on fire. The crowd has been stunned by the turn of events and has largely been taken out of the game by North Texas. There is not a lot of noise coming from Athens, GA right now.
North Texas is 2-1 on the season with wins against Idaho and Ball State and a loss to the University of Ohio 2 weeks ago. Every Saturday there are risks for top 25 teams to be upset but this would be one of the more surprising ones. North Texas has a good team to be sure but isn't on the same level as the ninth ranked Bulldogs of Georgia.
I still think Georgia has too much depth to not pull this victory out by the time their afternoon is over, but it is a game worth watching if you enjoy possible upsets.

NEWPORT NEWS -- A two-day crackdown on prostitution ended with dozens of charges filed.
The undercover sting on Friday and Saturday operated in the 10,000 block of Jefferson Avenue and along the busy roadway.
Police say the Friday operation was run from Colonial Courts Motel, where female undercover officers worked the streets.
The Saturday operation was run by male cops driving along Jefferson Avenue who were then approached, stated police spokesman Lou Thurston.
Authorities say the operation was planned after they received numerous complaints from residents and businesses in the area and saw the situation in the area.
There also is concern that prostitution is spreading into nearby neighborhoods.

Gotta love Tubby Dog! Right on 17th in Downtown Calgary, Tubby Dog is pretty much the greatest balls-out celebration of street/fast food I've been to. Opened by an art-school grad years ago with a love of junk food, the place has a pretty simple mandate of serving over-the-top hot dogs, along with a few other treats yam fries, giant pickles and beer.
The whole place is decked out as a shrine to fast food, with lots of really cool vintage stuff. See the box of Krusty-O's?
A personal fave, the Sumo dog, topped with "Japanese" mayo, lots of wasabi, pickled ginger, sesame seeds and seaweed. Combined with a fat juicy dog, it's unreal.
One thing Tubby Dog gets right is making the dog and the bun big enough to handle all the toppings. Lots of the dogs need a fork for help, but it's much better to be able to two-hand it.
The A-bomb, with cheese, bacon and potato chips. Obscene.
And the best part is, they clear out the tables at night and do shows! Here's my punk band Kleins96 playing last year, in what's been the only really great Calgary show we've ever played.

Very nice looking Channel set ring yellow sapphires good size and pretty. I had to return only because it didn't quite work with my pave band solitaire engagement ring. But had they matched well enough I would have been very happy with the find.

read banned books
Friday, September 30, 2005
Who knew that this week was America's Banned Books Week... well, I do now, thanks to Jevyeddy and his friend Sugarfoot.
Like Jevyeddy, I'm a book freak (if you've noticed the "Currently Reading" section in the sidebar, you probably could have worked it out for yourself) and it turns out that I've actually read seventeen of The 100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990–2000 (21 if you count the Harry Potter books as five instead of one book).
5. Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
6. Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
7. Harry Potter (Series) by J.K. Rowling
8. Forever by Judy Blume
18. The Color Purple by Alice Walker
22. A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle
25. In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak
27. The Witches by Roald Dahl
28. The New Joy of Gay Sex by Charles Silverstein
32. Blubber by Judy Blume
33. Killing Mr. Griffin by Lois Duncan
60. American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis
62. Are You There, God? It's Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
70. Lord of the Flies by William Golding
76. Where Did I Come From? by Peter Mayle
78. Tiger Eyes by Judy Blume
84. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
There are also a couple of books on the list that sound familiar, and I may have read, but I'm not completely sure.

a lot of footage, a lot of work but most of all: a lot of fun!! Finally it's done: "ANORANG" Anno + Bangerang, i.e. all the year bangin a max of sport!! Have a look:
Finally I had some time to cut some great experiences of this year's Fuzzy camp!
Check it:
Fuzzy New Year's 12 from Tobi Deckert on Vimeo.
See you again this year!
Unfortunately we weren't blessed with a lot of autumn wind last weekend at lago di garda. Twice it was worth it to wake up early to catch the vento in the morning but only once the ora was strong enough to fight through the clouds.
During calm moments, wakeboarding was fun also!!
Anyway we had a lot of fun and yet the water wasn't that cold
Today was one of those lucky days when more than one nice action thingie came to another. Thomas and me rented some mountain skyvers, a backpackable downhill scooter, which guaranteed a lot of fun in the morning after having reached the timezone's bikepark start at Hochries.
Most astonishing is the durability of this little scooter which even allows little jumps during the trail…
In the afternoon we arrived at the Viking waterramp at Oberaudorf. Preparing some new grabs for the upcoming season the whole body still hurts from all the bails on the untouched water … rather concrete!
Like always at Oberaudorf, there can't be missing a little trampoline session…
Amongst mountains and forests a beautiful Wakeboard lift can be found at Kiefersfelden.
It was absolutely perfect for a little after work 2 hour session without any hurry and overcrowded waiting queues. Almost the first time on a wakeboard this summer, it was kind of hart to get back to the basics but in the end it was worth training some easy raleys on the cables or backflips over the kickers…
My Roomy Reinhart can be so persuading sometimes!! Still in summer thoughts, not having prepared any ski gear at all he was showing me pictures of 20 cm fresh pow which has fallen during the night…
Next day 5 am, let's get started!
Among slightly covered crevasses we were able to make our way up and down the backcountry of hintertux's glacier.
Luckily even the sun came out for a couple of minutes and made it possible to jump in these otherwise gusty conditions…
Best thing ever to just sail where there is wind on the lake at this particular moment! Having safely equipped all Kite gear on Reini's cat, the wind chasing began…
soon first gusts started to catch up the boat:
Caught up some nice wind in the middle of the lake Reini continued to ride the boat while I tried to water start a 12sqm Flysurfer…
The stronger the wind, the foggier the gopro on my head became and killed all footage ;(
Like always it is nice to hang out with guys from the Fuzzy Garhammer school, so this time when we took a visit to Rügen where the Pirates Kite testival was on! The 10 hours ride was not just worth it because of the pretty nice wind during the day but also all people there who where amazingly friendly and see to a chilling atmosphere! Just the after party sucked all power remains out of the body after a crazy day of 8 hours kitesurfing…
On the next day we somehow decided to follow the wind by car and continued the journey to St. Peter Ording. Anyway it was quite nice to live in Arne's car and not shower for a couple of days…Arrived in the evening we still had some good fun with the 21sqm flysurfers in the sunset!
There is nothing better to put the alarm at 5 in the morning and meet skywalk colleagues…
After having reached the peak after 1,5 hours the view on the chiemsee with a golden sunrise is indescribable. But work is calling, so lets unpack the gliders…
Nein, es geht nicht um das grüne Launemachergewächs, vielmehr wollen wir eine gute Freundschaft feiern, die letztes Jahr im Norden Europas durch eine gemeinsame Leidenschaft entstand… Freeskiing!
Mit dem Ursprung in Helsinki, shredderten die Rider von Lapland bis zu den Alpen und tauschten dabei ihre Lieblingsspots aus. Durch die zahlreichen gegenseitigen Besuche in der letzten Saison konnten viele Impressionen und Erlebnisse in den Kasten gebannt werden, sodass sich die Buben entschlossen, alles in einen Film zu packen!

Wyclef Jean showed to his Twitter followers that he still 'got it' at the age of 43 years old. The singer posted a photo of himself on the micro-blogging site wearing a teeny-tiny brief and riding a Ducati.
"TODAY I AM 43 YEARS OLD! I look And feel 26! U cant keep a good Man down! Keep a smile when they want you to frown!" he wrote, adding later "The difference by age and experience? The first is number we are given, the second is the life we lived ... As for experience I feel 120."
For posting the bold pic, Jean has been sent some criticisms including one from a Twitter user, "But seriously though, how that n---a 'Clef torso look like Jermaine Jackson, but his legs look like Chief Keef?" Jean preferred to not directly comment on it but re-tweet positive words from his followers. "I applaud @wyclef for posing in the speedo ! His body looks great , and a lot of these guys out here making jokes can't take that pic!! Lol" one fan wrote.
Jean later joked, "I Hope when i send my pic in my suit on the set of Nashville..it Gets just as much RT's as my speedo pic on my Ducati!" He is involved in a new TV show which shoots in Nashville.

David Horowitz Is Homeless
The 1960s radical decades ago switched his politics, fleeing the New Left to become a conservative provocateur. Then the right wing left him behind.
Radical Son, which I would not hesitate to rank among the key political autobiographies of the 20th century, positioned the born-again Horowitz as a potential emissary to post-sixties progressives who had quietly lost hope in the idea of a liberated future. Though the book eventually seizes the opportunity to settle personal scores, most of his "generational odyssey" is charged with sympathy for those who felt that revolutionary ends could justify the most unsavory means. Horowitz's riveting portrait of Huey Newton—at one time a close friend—paints the tempestuous, drug-addled Black Panther Party co-founder as both personally seductive and actively repellent—and by extension, renders the author almost criminally credulous. "I was naïve, always a slow learner," Horowitz told me, but in Radical Son he chisels a kind of intellectual currency out of a postwar mass of accumulated disenchantment and trauma. This largely nonpolemical cautionary tale offers the same moral to radicals of every ideological stripe: The collapse of certainty is a universal constant.
But if Radical Son failed to provoke a collective mea culpa from Marxists and liberals, Horowitz's public airing of his "second thoughts" also didn't earn him a permanent front-row seat at the table of right-wing punditry. "There's no solidarity among conservatives," he said. "They don't think of it as 'Horowitz is a real asset, and we have to support him.' That bewildered me. If I hadn't created my own platform, I wouldn't be able to function as an intellectual."
He will say anything to get a rise out of the politically correct but is generally careful not to alienate his ideological compatriots. There is considerable political daylight between Horowitz and Herman Cain or Michele Bachmann, but both have accepted invitations to speak at recent Freedom Center retreats. Horowitz pointedly does not endorse candidates. The prospect of an unregulated free market does not enthrall him, and he does not vocally oppose same-sex marriage. The Freedom Center, until 2006 known as the Center for the Study of Popular Culture, rarely pretends to offer policy expertise. His experience with radicalism has left him suspicious of clarion calls to social progress.
Horowitz's attachment to the right seems as much a product of his love of provocation as a sign of deeply held ideological beliefs. When New Republic editor emeritus Marty Peretz was vilified for writing in 2010 that "Muslim life is cheap, most notably to Muslims," Horowitz's public response was to essentially wish that he had said it first. When Newt Gingrich courted outrage with his statement that Palestinians are an "invented" people, Horowitz used his FrontPage blog to back up the claim. Just last week, Horowitz's Freedom Center took to his least-favorite major newspaper to publish an ad likening the anti-Zionist boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement to Nazism. "The Holocaust began with boycotts of Jewish stores," it reads, "and ended with death camps." For its principal agitation, the ad names specific American professors whose rhetoric Horowitz holds directly responsible for the recent anti-Semitic murders in Toulouse, France.
Horowitz is unlikely to ever abjure or muzzle his pugnacious, left-baiting side, and it's unclear if he even wants to, but for the sake of his legacy it may not matter. Brooklyn College political scientist Corey Robin, author of The Reactionary Mind, told me that Horowitz's bid for intellectual respectability is beside the point, because "the heroic age of conservative ideas is over. Not permanently. But for now it is, because the movement was so successful. Conservative ideas do best when the movement is in a minority position, and they are forged in the crucible of the struggle. They're formed in battle. And there's no battle today, because there's no real Left."
As Horowitz and I continued our dialogue, skipping from topic to topic with a pronounced lack of urgency, he kept urging me to read his books—specifically, three short recent memoirs, all written over the past decade, each one focused on Last Things and surprisingly devoid of certainty. And so I did.
The End of Time (2005), a collection of personal reflections written in the wake of Horowitz's battle with prostate cancer, is consciously modeled on Pascal's Pensées. Mournful and emphatically agnostic, the book continues Horowitz's refusal of the consolation myth of historical progress, reaching the conclusion that "We are creatures blind and ignorant, stumbling helplessly through a puff of time." It also extends Horowitz's lifelong struggle with his father's radical legacy, providing a new frame: "My father's disappointment was the gift he gave me. … His melancholy taught me the lesson he was unable to learn himself." In the book's most provocative passage, Horowitz compares his father's embrace of Marx's secular prophecy to the murderous theological zeal of Egyptian terrorist Mohammed Atta, ringleader of the Sept. 11 attacks. "Even though my father prided himself on being a practical man without illusions, he shared with Mohammed Atta and his believers an impossible dream. Their dream was to change the world. What Mohammed Atta wanted was an escape from this life."
This is not an unusual Horowitzian rhetorical gambit, and Horowitz has elsewhere written at length about an apparent "unholy alliance" between the political left and radical Islam. But to read on is to find Horowitz caught in a rare but welcome humanist gesture:
Some may regard these speculations as unreasonable. How can a man invoke his father in the same sentence as Mohammed Atta? My answer is, How not? Was Mohammed Atta not flesh and blood; if you pricked him did he not bleed? What did Mohammed Atta hope for but a better world; and what progressive soul does not wish for that? […] The act that ended Mohammed Atta's life and thousands of innocent others was surely evil. But except for the terrible deed itself, there is not an inconsiderate gesture attached to his memory. He appears to have been an ordinary man who was seduced into committing a great crime in the name of a greater good. Is this not the most common theme of the human tragedies of our time?
Coming from the man who invented "Islamofascism Awareness Week," this impressive and deeply personal feat of moral relativism seems downright treasonous.
His more recent mini-memoir A Point in Time (2011) continues to court and then sidestep the possibility of personal and historical redemption through careful readings of Dostoevsky and Marcus Aurelius, and displays a mature and uncondescending attitude toward religious faith. "Can we dispense with this reverence for impossible worlds as atheists insist we must? Dostoevsky's answer is that we cannot. … What can he have meant by this? Perhaps that if we were not inspired by an ideal world we would be reduced to the savagery of this one. Or, if we did not look forward to something better, we would not look forward at all." He recognizes the human need for comforting stories while acknowledging that we are the only ones who can tell such stories. Unlike Leo Strauss or Irving Kristol, who prescribed religion as a political tool for the sustaining of moral order, Horowitz seems despondent that he cannot take the metaphysical leap of faith.

The federal law that addresses medical records is called HIPAA (pronounced HIP-a), the Health Information Portability Accountability Act.
You must be the patient, or the parent or guardian of the patient for whom you seek records. Caregivers may be able to access records if the patient has provided written permission to the provider.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides good background information for understand who may have access to your records.
Providers are required to share any notes or records they have created themselves, or any test results for which they have copies. They are also required to share any information provided to them about you by another doctor if that information was used for the diagnosis and/or treatment being discussed with you.
Diagnostic lab test records, for such tests as blood tests, CT scans, X-rays, mammograms or others, should be requested from the doctor who ordered them, or your primary care physician. In most states, the lab will not provide them to you directly.
If you seek hospital records or records from any other medical facility, you will want to request them directly from that facility.
Be aware that you may be denied some records, usually related to mental health records. If a provider believes that letting you look at your medical records can endanger your physical health, your request may be refused. They cannot deny you access just because they think you will be upset, unless they believe revealing the information might lead you to physicially harming yourself.

Why Do Farmers Forward Contract In Factor Markets?
AbstractThis study investigated farmers' incentives to forward purchase inputs. A model of farmer decision making was used to derive an optimal forward contracting rule. Explicit in the model was the tradeoff between the quantity of input to be purchased in advance, and the remaining portion to be purchased later on the spot market. Results indicated that the primary reasons farmers contract inputs are to reduce risk and to speculate on favorable price moves. A numerical example of fertilizer used in corn production indicated that the size of the price discount was the dominant factor in forward contracting decisions.

The American college enrollment boom pushed schools to capacity and drove up admission costs, but now the climate is much different, and companies are struggling with new regulatory rules and decreased enrollment. According to a July 25 article in the New York Times, "signs point to 2013-14 being the year when traditional four-year, nonprofit colleges begin a contraction that will last for several years."

EIELSON AFB-Saturday it was a matchup of two 4-0 teams in the Greatland Conference. Eielson and Nikiski. Eielson beat Nikiski in last year's championship game. Revenge was on the minds of the Bulldogs.
In the second quarter Nikiski senior running back Micheal Stangel put the Bulldogs up with a 25 yard romp to the endzone. They got the two pointer for an 8-0 lead. But just 30 seconds later Eielson's Tony Griffith answers with a 60 yard touchdown run to make it an 8-6 game.
However, Nikiski led 29-6 at halftime-scoring four times in the second quarter. Stangel and Christian Riddall both had over 100 yards rushing and two touchdowns for the Bulldogs.
Nikiski wins 35-20 and are in the driver seat for the Greatland's number one seed.
"It was just, wanting to get back at them from last year," Stangel said. "We had some stuff burning up in there and we needed to get back at them."
Ravens head coach David Devaughn recongnizes his teams haven't historically lost regular season conference games especially at home. But this year's team is pretty young so there is learning curve on keeping up a winning tradition.
"You know, it was a slow start, they were definitely hungry, you know, we've got that target on our backs. So it's not a common thing out here to lose a conference game on this field," Devaughn said. "[It's] a young team, I don't think they're as tuned into that tradition but we're learning."
Here are the other Interior scores for week 7. Lathrop all over the Homer Mariners winning 49-0. Jociece Cannon had three touchdowns and Nathan Barnett had pick six and a sack for the Lathrop defene. Lathrop is 5-2 and finish second in the Railbelt with a 2-2 record.
Monroe beat Voz 54-0 on Wednesday and North Pole defeated West Valley 28-13 on Friday.

Comnet carries out comprehensive research in the areas of communications and networking, two areas that have proven inseparable when tackling information exchange at any scale. Its expertise encompasses virtually all aspects of today's and future communication systems and networks.
- The Communication part of Comnet addresses research at the "lower layers" of communication systems, enabling and enhancing (primarily wireless) information exchange.
- The Networking part of Comnet focuses on creating (global) networks, embracing wireless and core infrastructure networks, and offering suitable communication services and applications on top to satisfy user demands ("higher layers").
These two parts represent the research theme of Future Networking Paradigms: architecting future communications and interactions from the transmission of individual bits to networked user applications spanning the globe (and even extending into space). Three cross-cutting themes span both parts and provide the fundamental tools to understand and develop these fields:
- Network economics captures needs/demands, behavior, and economics of users, operators, and other players in the marketplace.
- Performance analysis and modeling investigates characteristics of communications networks by means of traffic measurements and mathematical modeling and develops fundamental algorithms for
- Information and communications theory: Communications theory is the bridge between information theory and communications engineering. While information theory provides fundamental capacity limits for the link capacity, it does not provide guidelines on how these capacity bounds could be approached through using real systems that imposes various additional constraints and impairments.
With 8 professors and these complementary research fields, Comnet is well-positioned to approach research in communication and networking in a holistic fashion.
The fundamental research themes pursued by Comnet and the specific focus areas described above provide the foundation for strategic research missions following grand research challenges. Comnet has identified three such grand challenges we are pursuing in our research as long-term visions:
- Carbon-neutral networking: Connecting the remaining global users—2 billion to mobile networks and 5 billion to the Internet—creates, among many others, an enormous challenge in energy efficiency to be able to power wired and wireless network infrastructure, the backend and data center infrastructure, network access equipment, and all the end user devices. We believe that only holistic rethinking of network, protocol, and system architectures can enable this expansion in a carbon-neutral way.
- Instant wireless Internet: Internet access anytime, anywhere via wireless networks is becoming increasingly commonplace—provided that users are willing to put up with waiting for their desired content or their interactions to complete, leading to mostly inadequate Quality of Experience.
We pursue a comprehensive approach to future wireless access from the radio technologies to network operation to applications to reduce waiting time to delays below human perception.
- Scaling the Internet to a thousand devices per user: Not just the number of Internet users is growing, similarly is the number of their personal devices (for leisure, business, convenience, and medicine) and the number of shared devices penetrating private and public life.
This will ultimately shift the scale of networking by several orders of magnitude as these devices want to be networked, accessed, managed, and controlled.
Yet another rising theme that will affect our research in the coming years is cyber and network security.
