Brother of Smash Mouth Singer[edit]
There is no way he is the brother of the singer of Smash Mouth. This sounds like something made up because they have similar hair. The citation just says one of the episodes. Can anyone verify this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 23:26, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
Is his surname of Italian origin? Badagnani (talk) 10:25, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. He is Italian. His nickname is "Guido".
How do you know this? And why is his father's surname "Ferry"? Badagnani (talk) 03:43, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
- I don't buy this "Ferry" surname. The citation references a blog entry from a blog I don't recognize. Who knows if it's legit. I can't find any other source to corroborate this. I think someone's trying to imply something. That I don't know, but I wouldn't take this at face value.Gschrive87 (talk) 19:14, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
His parents are Jim and Penny Ferry. Says so in the linked article from his local newspaper. DFS (talk) 05:55, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Here's a source that's not a blog: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2009/11/10/the-glenn-beck-of-food.html Karajanis (talk) 10:46, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
- The source also documents a different pronunciation. Should it be changed as well? --Ronz (talk) 16:29, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

His real name isn't Guy Fieri. --Erroneuz1 (talk) 15:17, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
Guy was not born in Riverside, New Jersey. He was born in Columbus, Ohio. I am not sure where this information came from. There are no public references to cite this for accuracy. I work for Guy and he has asked me to change this along with some other things. Tomn2002 (talk) 16:27, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Wow - what class - he has his employees trolling his wikipedia article? Maybe he should focus on his food more and his image less (including his experimental pronunciation of his stage name.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 22:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- In fairness, he may be trying to re-create the surname of his paternal lineage prior to the stereotypical Ellis Island clerk's mangling of it in the official documentation. If that is the case, I wouldn't call it "only a stage-name". 184.108.40.206 (talk) 16:46, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The external links section should include the Official Blog, Official YouTube Channel, the Official Facebook page, and the Official Twitter. Please do not remove these again. Zenergy Works is Guy's authorized SEO / SMO / SEM company. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZenergyWorks (talk • contribs) 17:22, 4 December 2010
We have reviewed the terms, and we believe that because these are Official sources and because that is verifible, and because Zenergy Works, an SEO company based in Santa Rosa, CA is the controlling interest in the online presence of Guy Fieri, that these links qualify as Official links and should be treated as such. They are in no way meant to promote Guy, but merely to offer fans of Guy Fieri more Official sources of information.
Quote: Except for a link to an official page of the article's subject, one should generally avoid: 10. Links to social networking sites (such as MySpace and Facebook), chat or discussion forums/groups (such as Yahoo! Groups), Twitter feeds,
Usenet newsgroups or e-mail lists. "An official link is a link to a website or other Internet service that meets both of the following
- 1. The linked content is controlled by the subject (organization or individual person) of the Wikipedia article. (check, ZW is responsible for Guy Fieri's online presence.)
- 2. The linked content primarily covers the area for which the subject of the article is notable. (Sources are each Official sources for Guy Fieri's information, and online media presence) —Preceding unsigned comment added by ZenergyWorks (talk • contribs) 22:40, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for following up. I appreciate your not adding them back.
- You're adding the links to promote Fieri. Please review WP:SPAM and WP:COI.
- The links are redundant. The one link to his official site suffices - it links to all the others. --Ronz (talk) 01:44, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
Ferndale and Piner High School Unsourced[edit]
The article says he "grew up in Ferndale, California (attending Piner High School),[2]" The article referenced is about him winning the Next Food Network Star and does not contain mention of either Ferndale or Piner High School. He very well may have grown up in Ferndale (judging from the picture of him as a child selling pretzels in a wooded area that looks like that part of Northern California), but the source is wrong. As well, there is a Piner High School in Santa Rosa (it's on Wikipedia, duh) but there isn't one in Ferndale that I know of. Point being this info needs to be properly sourced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlauNacht (talk • contribs) 17:06, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
There is no Piner High School in Ferndale. The article makes it look like he grew up and went to Piner High School in Ferndale which would be impossible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 04:17, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
- He grew up in Ferndale, California. [1] He attended Ferndale High School [2]. Ellin Beltz (talk) 16:50, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
Correct Birthday?[edit]
The DOB in his bio says he was born in 1968, the one under his photo says 1963. Which is correct? Kkbay (talk) 17:15, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
"Signature Look"[edit]
Sound like an advertisement. And why no mention of why he always looks stoned on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives?
Giltramirez (talk) 23:09, 19 June 2010 (UTC)
BETTER PICTURE[edit]
This picture of Guy is not the best. Surley someone can find one where he doesn't have something blocking half his face and where hes not sweaty/and or greasy. Please fix. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:39, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

City Page article[edit]
I have restored the edit because the only reason they were removed was good faith but misapplied "per BLP - tabloid". I took pains to make sure the addition, which could be challenged or likely to be challenged without sourcing, was attributed to a reliable, published source using inline citation --exactly as per WP:BLP. My best guess is the assumption made in the removal is the City Pages somehow run afoul of a subjective opinion on what is "tabloid journalism" in the WP:BLP line "Material should not be added to an article when the only sourcing is tabloid journalism." That completely misconstrues the paper, an alternative newspaper published in the tabloid format, and seems to not pay attention the very sources cite: it in takes its queue from two professionals that worked with Fieri for 11 years as well as his own reply. I tried to properly characterize the relationship of one of the individuals cited as being in conflict with Fieri, and anyone can read the source to make their own judgment. I also wrote out an edit summary that pointed out that more might be added as this develops (the story was published a few days ago, I saw it when I picked up the hard copy). Obviously, we can talk this out, but based on my assumption that there was a mistake on how to register City Pages, I restored for now. --Bobak (talk) 03:31, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry that my edit summary wasn't clear. BLP states, "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid: it is not Wikipedia's job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives, and the possibility of harm to living subjects must always be considered when exercising editorial judgment. "
- The source is poor, demonstrating tabloid-style, sensationalist journalism. Page clearly has an axe to grind with Fieri, and City Pages is capitalizing on the situation by giving a venue for Page to sling mud.
- If you feel the desire to restore the material again, please instead start a discussion at BLPN. --Ronz (talk) 03:52, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
"Straight" Male Viewers?[edit]
This article currently has the following sentence (emphasis added):
In 2010, the New York Times reported that Fieri brought an "element of rowdy, mass-market culture to American food television," and that his "prime-time shows attract more straight male viewers than any others on the network."[1]
Specifying the viewers as "straight" seemed a little strange to me, so I checked the source. Sure enough, the word "straight" was not in the original quote:
"He really resonates with men," Ms. Fogelson said, adding that Mr. Fieri's prime-time shows attract more male viewers than any others on the network.
Pending some sort of explanation, I'm editing the article to reflect the source. BlindMic (talk) 07:01, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
- ^ "Guy Fieri, Chef-Dude, Is in the House". The New York Times, Julia Moskin, Aug 10 2010. August 10, 2010.
Guy's Training[edit]
Everything I have ever read on Guy says he went to college at the university of Las Vegas & the studied 6 yrs abroad a exchange student. Not that he went to work with Stouffer's right out of high school. Please provide the source for this info.
In Popular Culture[edit]
I am a longtime reader and supporter of Wikipedia.
As such, it is my fervent hope that this section remain part of the article for all time. Please, in the name of all that is good on the internet, please refrain from editing this citation out of existence.
With love and respect,
22.214.171.124 (talk) 04:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)Longtime Wikipedia Fan
I agree with the above user. The additions to the "Popular Culture" section that occurred today are parts of the webcomic "MS Paint Adventures", where a page from today states the "antichrist" and "supreme court" comments. The page in question can be found here. I see no reason why a "Popular Culture" area could not be placed on this page as they are true facts of his reputation with at least the MS Paint Adventures fanbase. --188.8.131.52 (talk) 05:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- It's probably a good idea to keep on the page for now to keep people from going crazy and vandalizing the article any further, but is it really all that relevant to Guy Fieri the person? (Disclaimer: I am a huge Homestuck fan.) Nongendered (talk) 06:54, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Because "In Popular Culture" sections are usually trivia and unimportant information related to the subject, they are only kept if the uses of the subject in popular culture receive coverage from reliable sources. This Homestuck page has not received this coverage, so it is not included. Come back if the page does get mentioned by a news organization. SilverserenC 07:45, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Popular Culture is something that is less structured and stable than history or many other bits of information. What you, or news resources deem as "popular culture" are not quite relevant to the meaning of the phrase. You'll be able to tell that the idea is popular, my guess is, by the number of people who are going to manipulate this page, or check previous history throughout the day. Since MS Paint Adventures is an online resource, Wikipedia really should be more open to providing coverage of the subject. It is one of the few resources that has the capacity to, and the silly "relevancy" complaints that I've heard over the years continue to be poorly attended to the medium.
- As for your argument, Silver, the website that is directly causing the uproar should be reliable enough. You don't need to go to a news resource to determine if the thing that is getting referred to is openly accessible on the website of origination. Now, if that website referred to an event that happened outside of, in beyond the website, then that would be a different story. Since any person can go to the page referenced and determine that the event happened, it would be a reliable resource. 8472 (talk) 11:54, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- You should be ashamed of your censorship and whitewashing. The popular culture edit holds to the standards set by any similar blurb on any other part of this website. You are abusing your power to protect a page to muzzle other users; a clear violation of the spirit of the entire Wikipedia project. 220.127.116.11 (talk) 15:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- @Werty: Considering that Wikipedia as a whole is an encyclopedia that is based on secondary source coverage (like all other encyclopedias), what news sources say is actually of maximum importance. And the problem with trying to say what you or I think is popular is that it is subjective for every single person, which is why we instead base popularity on secondary news coverage of a subject. And I know that nothing I say is going to change your mind, since according to your userpage, you think that anything anyone says on the internet is notable.
- @74.192: Comparing it to other articles is a non-starter argument. If other articles have popular culture sections that don't have proper secondary coverage, then they should also be removed. Just because they haven't been yet doesn't mean that they're allowed. SilverserenC 15:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Silver, is your criticism valid, or just snarky? Even if I hadn't written that statement of position years ago, back in the dawning of Wikipedia, it is not a negative mark on a person to take a stance on a subject. You know that I'm already biased on the subject. That you're willing to discount my ability to accept new information and discussion on the subject lays on your flaw.
- What I am saying on the subject is that Wikipedia has many capacities that lay outside of all other encyclopedias. The format allows for rapid generation of socially relevant articles. Because it doesn't take up physical print space, numerous articles that allow access to topics which have sub-cultural importance are possible. Because Wikipedia exists as an online entity, it expects certain audiences (namely ones that have the capacity to explore the internet) over others (audiences without internet accessibility, for instance). Because it has certain audiences, there is a certain necessity for it to offer insight to those audiences, to maintain its identity of an encyclopedia.
- More on-topic, what I've explained is that your argument that "the article does not have a reliable source" is faulty. If you want to make another argument about the reasoning why this MS Paint Adventures content is not worthy of having a Popular Culture addition, please do that instead of resorting to Ad Hominem. Then I will reduce that argument down to rubble, and you can try again. 8472 (talk) 01:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- The information needs a reliable secondary source covering it for it to be included. Otherwise, it lacks any importance. Anyone can make a website and comment on a subject. That doesn't mean we include all mentions of this nature. We only include ones that are discussed, even if it is discussed ephemerally, in reliable secondary sources. This is even more so needed in this situation, when we're talking about the usage of a living person that, even if meant humorously, can count as defamation. SilverserenC 03:28, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- Bam. Are you are using the royal 'we'? I hope you are not talking as though your personal opinions are to be considered the same as Wikipedia's. Your 'anyone can make a website' argument shows the faultiness of that statement. MSPA is an intensely popular webcomic with tens of thousands of readers. Just because a traditional news source doesn't recognize the website, does not make the website irrelevant. Secondly, we're talking about a living person, who when used humorously in context, is not defamation, and is at most parodied. It appears that you're not familiar with the use of Guy Fieri in this situation, so perhaps you should not play the objective person on what counts as acceptable mention in popular culture. 8472 (talk) 12:13, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- I'm using we in the sense of being someone who understands what the rules are regarding reliable sources and speaking to you, someone who edits rather infrequently and seems to not know what these rules are. Furthermore, I know exactly what MSPA is, I have read Homestuck, Problem Sleuth, Bardquest (sad it wasn't finished), and Jailbreak, and i've loved all of them. However, that doesn't change the fact that MSPA is not a news organization or of enough note to include a random fact from what will be only 3-4 pages in a 4000+ page comic into a Wikipedia article about a living person, especially when the random fact usage in the comic is fairly derogatory, regardless of whether it is parody or not. SilverserenC 21:38, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- You're using 'we' in the sense that you're trying to infer that your recency in posting entitles you to a purer understanding of the logic of your argument. Dismissing my argument that you are not familiar with the comic, we're still left with the issue of your understanding of the Popular Culture subsection. Let's look at the practice of different Popular Culture sections on Wikipedia: The Hindenburg Disaster, Oberon, The Columbine High School Massacre, and a good deal of the listings on the Wiki about Adolf Hitler are placed without citation. This is not due to poor recording. Items placed within Popular Culture, Historical References, and Modern Culture sections are self-evident. They are factual, as displayed by their placement within the existence of the medium, and not necessarily accurate representations of the person, object, or event as they stand.
- Where much of the encyclopedia relies on a truth built, not on hearsay, but on an accumulation of facts which, when held against a certain standard, have a certain value of "truth", as per the perception of society at large, Popular Culture sections are different. Take this issue of Guy Fieri. Now, you're suggesting that some "secondary reliable source" needs to exist to post data. This is not so. Say that the personal website, Twitter account, or some form of direct communication with the actual Guy Fieri made a specific, self-evident statement. Let's pretend Guy Fieri said on his personal blog that his real name was "Man Fieri". While you might not be able to alter certain parts of the post (such as the "born as" name) without further data, you could certainly update the Wiki to include that he publicly announced that his real name as "Man Fieri" without having some "secondary reliable source".
- This is an issue involving perception layers. If Guy Fieri made a statement about himself, that statement is self-evident, and can directly influence the encyclopedic dialogue involving his personal perception about himself, and the way he directly addresses it. In Popular Culture sections, it is no longer taking a view from Guy Fieri, and looking outward. Instead the perception revolves around external entities and their perception of Guy Fieri. The things that can directly affect this perception layer are facts which are self-evident. In this case, the issue is that MSPA has factually used Guy Fieri, albeit absurdly, as character in the Homestuck universe. The direct sentiment is that some external entity (the author of MSPA) has perceived the topic element (Guy Fieri) in an abstract way, and the artistic representation that come from that perception is as described in the medium of the external entity (the comic, Homestuck). The fact that this happened is self-evident. Re-stated simply: The inclusion of Guy Fieri by the artist Andrew Hussie in the MSPA Comic: Homestuck is factual, evidenced by the direct link to the comic. This is a relevant statement for a Popular Culture subsection. 8472 (talk) 01:09, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Keep it out. It's trivia, recentism, and poorly sourced. --Ronz (talk) 00:37, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- A few comments: while popularity is subjective, some things are popular enough that their popularity is clear no matter the subjectivity. MSPA has more than 600,000 views every single day; it's hard to argue that something with that many interested people isn't popular. Documentation of something on an internet website should also be different than documentation of real-life things or things not specific to a certain website. Reliable sources for real-life events are necessary because it is impossible for anyone to click on a link and be teleported back in time to the event. If specific information on a specific page of a website is referred to, that page is a reliable source because it is indisputable evidence that the website contains the mentioned content on that page. --18.104.22.168 (talk) 21:14, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
- MSPA might be popular, but that doesn't mean their mention of Fieri is remotely as popular. Nor does it mean that even the most popular content on MSPA deserves mention anywhere in Wikipedia without secondary sources, especially without secondary sources that demonstrate it's somehow worth mention. --Ronz (talk) 02:50, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- Let me refer you to the arguments listed in my previous responses about use of secondary sources, sources, and the use of Popular Culture subsections. As for your comment about the worthiness for MSPA content deserving mention without secondary sources, I believe that this is exemplary of some Wikipedia writers' incapacity to accept new media as notable. Major news organizations are simply not going to be cognizant of successful online subcultures, not because they're irrelevant, but because major news organizations do not share the same niche. 8472 (talk) 12:29, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Let wikipedia have its fun guys. We have outlets like TVTropes and MSPAWiki to include information that is relevant to our interests and without having to deal with moderators that won't listen to reason. Everyone knows the edits were done to troll, and most know that Wikipedia is irrelevant when it comes to internet culture regardless - JG

- The way that parties and artists external to the topic, view and represent the topic is a relevant piece of the complicated issue of any topic. No object, person, event, etc. lays outside the universe which regards it, and represents it in their own kind. The fact that some guy got some network to make some show about him is about as notable as some guy writing some comic which includes some other guy in it.
P.S.: Wikipedia:NOT#Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia 8472 (talk) 00:34, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
@8472: How far does your line of argument go? Should mentions of references in Homestuck appear on the Wikipedia page for Betty Crocker? For Fruit Gushers? For Bing Crosby? Should a mention of Dave's iShades appear on the Apple Inc. page? Should the page for Martha Stewart mention this Sexy Losers strip? 22.214.171.124 (talk) 02:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
- @18.104.22.168: Not very far, clearly. My argument here is weaker than in other places. I think that Guy Fieri is about as notable, or less than the comic Homestuck. Of course, notability is not able to be measured in absolutes... Which is why I think there should be some sort of discussion about the legitimate idea that Homestuck is a notable popular culture mention, as opposed to a single/small number of Wikipedia elites simply saying that it is not notable, deleting mentions, and then rejecting argumentation based on their status as an editor (even going so far as trying to change the rules to succeed in this argument).
- That slippery slope goes both ways. I saw a similar argument over notability of a mention over at the Dante Basco page. As I argued about 10 years ago, I am still arguing- Wikipedia does not take into account the notability of new media, and has archaic methods of determining notability for smaller subjects which Wikipedia could clearly cover. P.S.: I think it'd explain to the people at Betty Crocker why some people randomly asserted in tweets and e-mails about something about a "batterwitch". 8472 (talk) 12:05, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

- I agree, more or less. I can see one sentence description of the review up where the article talks about his various restaurants, but I definitely don't think it deserves its own section, because it doesn't directly relate to Fieri. -Brycehughes (talk) 22:38, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
"In 2010, he appeared in a commercial for Aflac named 'Spicy.'"
What the hell does this mean? Since when do commercials have names? Is the a slogan he repeats?Stealstrash (talk) 05:38, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- I fixed the reference. Looks like it was indeed a commercial named "Spicy." -Brycehughes (talk) 08:19, 21 November 2012 (UTC)
- Yes...believe it or not all productions, even commercials, have names.--Mark Miller (talk) 10:00, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
BS in Hotel Management from UNLV? Is this BS in itself?[edit]
I have a feeling Fieri does not know what He studied or graduated with. In one episode of Triple D I saw last year on Food Network, he mentioned that when He went to UNLV, he studied PoliSci. Is there any chance we can find out what is right, please? I am aware he's on UNLV's alumni page as '90 BS Hotel Management, but that's from an article in Premier Magazine. I think it would be a good idea to actually contact UNLV and verify that what is published in that source is absolutely correct. If the man himself says he studied PoliSci, who the hell are we to argue with him? :) CharlieTheCabbie (talk) 17:55, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- His website says "hospitality management", as does the Humboldt Beacon. Since the latter is a reliable third-party source, I'll use that. Huon (talk) 18:38, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
shouldn't the captioning of the picture be reworded? Needs2learnmore (talk)
- Why do you think it should be changed? It describes the picture as to who is doing what and where, as captions should do. If you are referring to his name, the name used in the article should always be the one that most people knows the person by. (Please sign your posts with the four squiggles ~~~~ for a correct signature.) - w.carter-Talk 12:55, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
regarding restaurants[edit]
I have read a few stories on various sites that he recently (as of November 11th of this year) he closed a Johnny Garlic in Sacramento. Where can this be fixed? I don't think the entry reflects this event 23:00, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
- If you can produce an accurate and reliable source for this claim, you can insert it at the appropriate section yourself. Just add the source as a reference. You may want to look at the Help:Referencing for beginners for this. (And please sign your posts with the four squiggles ~~~~ for a correct signature.) Also remember, sentences start with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation in an encyclopedia, this is not texting. - w.carter-Talk 13:00, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
- Yep I completely forgot about that. I have goggled the incident in question of this section and I've come up with an article from I believe the sf eater and a few others. Will check into the Referencing for beginners as wellNeeds2learnmore(talk) 07:42, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
possible references to Sacramento restaurant closing[edit]
I can't quite get the cite feature figured out but I did find a few sites that explains why the Johnny Garlic's closed any help figuring this or is appreciated. Not sure how to put this as a reference or citation but this is one link. http://sfist.com/2014/11/11/guy_fieri_closes_one_of_his_bay_are.php#. here's another link http://sacramento.cbslocal.com/2014/11/10/johnny-garlics-closes-in-sacramento-19-months-after-converting-from-tex-wasabis/ Needs2learnmore(talk) 08:06, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

He is a Restauranteur, not a Restaurateur, we're missing an "n" 188.8.131.52 (talk) 13:42, 9 June 2015 (UTC)

Entry currently reads - Spouse(s) Jenni Fieri, Kristin Fieri, Lizzie Fieri, Sarah Fieri, Lucy Fieri. Can't find any evidence that he has ever been wed to anyone besides Lori Fieri. Bangabandhu (talk) 18:06, 24 October 2015 (UTC)
Reason for surname change[edit]
His paternal grandfather was of Italian descent; Fieri changed his surname, Ferry, back to his family's original surname, Fieri, when he got married in 1995, in order to honor his immigrant great-grandfather, Giuseppe Fieri. That's a confusing sentence. Why the initial focus on the grandfather when the name change was to honor the great-grandfather? I would rewrite it as "Fieri is of Italian descent, and changed his surname..." etc. 2605:E000:7F06:C600:7D96:C340:C20B:8C6 (talk) 03:25, 10 July 2016 (UTC)
Guy Fieri straight[edit]
I've recently noticed that in every LGBT celebrity's wikipedia pages it always says that they are openly LGBT. But isn't Guy Fieri openly straight? Basically what I'm asking is for someone to put under his personal life section. "Guy Fieri is openly straight." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qquertyuiopp (talk • contribs) 17:55, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Peruvian director Claudia Llosa made history when her 2009 film, The Milk of Sorrow, earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Foreign Language Film. The film, in Spanish and Quechua, addresses the fears of abused women during Peru's recent history of violence because of the uprising of the Maoist group Sendero Luminoso and the actions of the paramilitary and state armed forces. Milk of Sorrow is the first and only Peruvian film to be nominated in the category.

Chicken Muffins
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 25 mins
This is something I found in "MealLeaniYumm!" by Norene Gilletz . It's perfect for brownbagging to work or school.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 medium onions
- 2 carrots
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites or 1 egg
- 1⁄3 cup potato starch or 1⁄2 cup matzo meal
- 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄8 teaspoon pepper
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- Drop garlic through feed tube of processor while machine is running.
- Process until minced.
- Cut onions, carrots and chicken in chunks.
- Process in batches in processor until finely minced, about 30 seconds.
- Combine all ingredients and mix well.
- Spoon into 12 sprayed or greased muffin cups.
- Smooth the top of each muffin with a spatula.
- Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes until golden.
- These reheat and/or freeze well.
- Serve hot or at room temperature.
- Serve with salsa[bottled or homemade].
- Fat Saving Secrets: Substitute 2 pounds lean ground chicken.
- However; if you grind the chicken yourself, you can control and fat content to ensure that no fatty skin is added.
- Turkey can be used instead of chicken to reduce the fat content even more.
- Mini Chicken Muffins: Bake mixture in greased miniature muffin tins for 15 to 18 minutes.
- They're perfect as hors d'oeuvres, or to put in the kids lunch boxes.

Oh my, this is just wonderful! I put in a little parsley for color .. my husband loved this, thanks!!
I made 1/2 batch of these and came out with 12 regular size muffins (batter filled to the top!). I used cooked chicken breast, and I cooked them longer than the recipe and they never got golden but they were done. We didn't care for the taste too much though - too much onion maybe...

Pay Attention, to the right. We are now accepting new accounts for money management. Already managing over 5 million Dollars
Dear Reader,
To be ANTI-SOPITALIST means to stand with those who do not approve of the unproductive parts of society getting rich on the backs of the-productive people. There is only one reason prices should be rising, some people do not work their fair share and make it more expensive for others to have the necessities of life that is what printing money does. So, how exactly do the SOPITALISTS get rich? They must do something to manipulate things to their benefit and everyone else's detriment. Yes they do. They use their connections and money to stand first in the cycle of money that government recycles endlessly.
Free Capitalism is Dead. President OBAMA was elected only to serve as the ringmaster to the final ceremony of that event. Capitalism was never free, just like Communism was never free, they both had SO(cialism) for (ca)PITAL ONLY, for the longest time. Except, these days SOPITALISTS are not hiding any more, they are manipulating things out in pubic faces and blatantly violating our constitutional rights to small government and small (not too big to fail) businesses. We are being saddled with debt as far as they EYES can see, and in the name of "doing it for our benefit and benefit of future generations.
But I ask you, who gave anyone the right to put our nation into a $200000/person debt without explicit agreement? As far as I can tell, NOBODY. Is it any wonder that the population is diminishing, as people are waking up to the fact that they do not want to be born in $200000 of overdraft. No wonder Mexicans have been noticed to be running to the back of the fence leaving "American Dream".
Great George Carlin must have been right, that "American Dream exists as long as you are asleep". Modern Sopitalists, just think that they can get away with it. Distributing money now to their constituents, while making our children slaves forever. I never imagined that I would regret the day I left USSR to become USA citizen and hope that we will do all in our normal powers to let the government know (Republicans and Democrats alike) that enough is enough.
Money Management. One Million and higher amounts are accepted for managing as separate accounts. Money remains in holders account all the time. Our Fees are 0.5 Percent/Year for managing such accounts. Inquiries for details with firstname.lastname@example.com

Selling Drawings for Charity
Hi everyone,
I've posted some of my drawings on here before, and previously offered free drawings, which I had a great response to. Now, I'm hoping to sell my art, and donate all of the money to a horse rescue called Habitat for Horses.
I'm offering 4"x6" custom pencil horse portraits for $15, which I will ship anywhere in the US, excluding Alaska and Hawaii. ALL of the $15 (minus the cost to ship the drawing to you) will be donated to Habitat for Horses. Larger drawings also available, price quote upon request.
To request a drawing, please send me a private message, through which I will also give you my Paypal information. Thanks for looking, check out some examples of my work below.
Here are links to the originals of the last two pictures:
I would appreciate comments even if you're not interested in buying the art.
I'll comment- I love the colour scheme and the shading- it all looks very professional.
I just have to say that the second drawing is slightly dishevelled but it's a tricky angle to draw so you did do very well!
Very nice drawings. I like the first one a lot.
You did fairly well on the portrait of the black and chestnut, but it looks like they're melting into each other.
You obviously have talent, but you need to hone it more before I'd be willing to pay for a portrait.

BERLIN-Armin Meiwes, the German computer technician convicted of murdering and consuming a man he met over the internet, will be retried, since many consider his conviction too lenient. The 41-year old man, who claims to have fantasized about cannibalism since early childhood, was convicted of manslaughter in January 2003 and sentenced to eight and one-half years behind bars.
What continues to fascinate the German public about the Meiwes case is that his murder and subsequent consumption of 43 year-old Bernd-Jurgen Brandes was entirely consentual. Indeed, the pair met after Brandes replied to an internet personal ad which explicitly solicited "young, well-built men aged 18 to 30 to slaughter" in March, 2001.
Though Brandes's former girlfriend claims never to have heard him express an interest in being eaten and insists that "Bernd would never have allowed himself to be killed… it was murder," a videotape recorded by Meiwes and Brandes in the former's Rotenburg home seems to indicate otherwise. In the two-hour film, Brandes allows Meiwes to sever his penis from his body, cook the appendage, and consume it together. After the "meal," if one can call it that, Brandes prepares for his slaughter by drinking a large quantity of alcohol, imbibing cold medicine, and swallowing some twenty sleeping pills. Following the killing, Meiwes prepared the corpse, froze pieces of it, and continued eating Brandes for several months.
Meiwes was only arrested after an Austrian student noticed another ad the man had placed online seeking an arrangement similar to the Brandes situation.
Now, obviously, people have been drawn to the case's shocking nature and Meiwes's calm demeanor (he has granted several interviews, expressed a desire to write his memoirs while in prison, and has warned people to curb their cannibalistic desires lest they end up like him). Of course, the fact that Meiwes informed the German newspaper, Die Welt am Sonntag that he has "intense and positive memories of Bernd" and that "I have his face permanently before me. That's the sign of a friendly relationship," only disturbs people all the more.
One need not be a genius to know that the more extreme the behavior, the farther into the fringes of human behavior a person may plumb, the greater the media interest, but Meiwes's case is particularly fascinating because of its legal implications.
In some ways, Meiwes behavior has been compared to that of Jack Kevorkian. Basically, if you kill a person with their consent, some folks would argue, you aren't behaving as badly as if you kill a person aginst their will. (In Horace McCoy's excellent They Shoot Horses, Don't They? the reader sympathizes with the protagonist because he faces the gallows for having killed a depressed woman in accordance with her wishes, showing that such an argument has, at the very least, been advanced before).
The event has been further complicated by the fact that Brandes's death came, apparently, while he was in good health, both mentally and physically. In other words, Brandes's death was not that of a suicidal man or of a person suffering from a physical ailment. It was, it would seem, motivated purely by an extreme form of sexual fetishization. And this is what disturbs the hell out of people.
I would suggest that more people are probably frightened of what the case may reveal about human nature than by any fear of the smiling man behind bars. Indeed, this is the problem people face when confronting forces ranging from psychopathy to rage. The fact that these things do exist implies that no matter what our rules and regulations do, they will continue to exist, somewhere and in some form.
Let's look at a psychopath or sociopath for a moment. Little could be more frightening than the realization that it is entirely possible that a person might not have any qualms about killing for fun (Meiwes, Dahmer, etc.) or profit (those fellows Rae Carruth hired), that they might not even care if they are caught or killed in response to their actions. Really, all this does it remind us that rules and laws are limited. They only protect people insofar as most people are willing to follow the legal restrictions placed upon the world. Basically, some people will not care about the rules we have put into place to make living a familiar and comfortable state of being. We are reminded that, though most people may share certain values or beliefs, the rules that emerge out of these shared values are, essentially, arbitrary. In other words, for a person with no regard for these regulatory measures, nothing prevents them from killing or otherwise harming others.
It is a deeply existential realization. The world is not as kind and nice as it may seem; that is simply a veneer we choose to see and believe in. Sadly, we only begin discussing these things when we see something as unsettling as the Meiwes-Brandes affair. We can't blame a cold-blooded killer motivated by greed; we can only observe that lust, the warped, bastard cousin of love, precipitated an unimaginable (to the mainstream) act.
As Meiwes estimates, there are upwards of 800 cannibals in Germany, though only a very few ever act on the urge. Whether or not this is true, it does remind us, again, that what we do not want to exist, does. See, the problem with laws is that, for the most part, they are made for the people that will follow them. They do little to prevent their being ignored by those people indifferent to them.
Once in a while something comes along that scares the shit out of us, not simply because of its brutality or pathos, but owing much to its screaming reminder that we can dress Relativism up in any way we'd like, but still remain, in the end, helpless in its face.
We're just luck most of us agree to be nice and law-abiding. I mean, we're all snug underneath the legal-moral-ethical blanket we drape over the world and assume everyone likes, but there are a few heads peeping out of the corner recognizing, as Paul Bowles would have it, it is only a sheltering sky blocking out what Nietzsche would call the sun of nihilism.

New imaging modalities such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have helped advance our understanding of human brain function. Researchers are interested in using these techniques to study both effects of external stimuli on human brain function and causal relations among different brain regions. The concern with causal issues has prompted much work, with empirical researchers applying various statistical procedures (e.g., Granger causality, dynamic causal models, structural equation and directed graphical models) to fMRI data and interpreting the resulting associations as effects, often inappropriately. This is a major problem for a field where causation occupies center stage. Building on the idea that causal relationships sustain counterfactual conditional statements, we use potential outcomes notation, widely used in the statistical literature, to develop a basic framework for causal inference in fMRI research. We also extend the statistical literature on mediation, which mostly takes up the case of a treatment, a single mediator and a single response, to the case of multiple functional mediators. In addition to helping push the field of functional neuroimaging forward, we contribute to the research on causal inference, functional data analysis and longitudinal data analysis. We develop methods for causal inference with high dimensional data, applying these to fMRI data from studies of post-traumatic stress disorder, thermal pain and social evaluation.
A general framework for causal inference in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is developed, using the potential outcomes notation widely used in the statistical literature. The framework and methods developed will be useful for studying brain networks, neurosurgical planning and the development of brain-based biomarkers. We also expect the methods to be useful in other applied contexts where high dimensional longitudinal data are collected and/or responses are measured with error.

I was looking for good inexpensive basic cream, this one works perfectly. Has nice smell, a little greasy at the start but you don't feel it in few moments.
Awful smell!

Such a great cream - silky and gets absorbed easily, light, but such terrible smell and it doesn't go away during the day!! Never buy again!

Entrepreneurship education is the fundamental tool for creating an ongoing cycle of learning and innovation that will bring sustainable job creation and re-creation. Young people face historic increases in joblessness, an unemployment rate that is three times higher than that of adults, and a rapidly shifting economy.
NFTE is hosting a Start Up Summer BizCamp for local St. Louis students during the summer of 2014. The camp will consist of a full-day, two-week intensive program that is designed to teach entrepreneurship and business concepts to low-income high school students. Our project will purchase materials for the Camp, including experiential activities designed to instill in students an entrepreneurial mindset. These include activities to learn marketing, buying and selling, and setting prices.
By working to keep at-risk students engaged in their school work, NFTE spurs its participants to graduate high school and dare to dream of a brighter future. Whether they pursue higher education, enter the workforce, or start their own business, students seize control of their own future through the course. NFTE's goal is to serve more than 1,000 youth over the next three years by introducing classroom-based, in-school programs taught by NFTE-certified teachers.

I'm staring at my local gym leader's cp 1323 Exeggutor and struggling to understand the popularity of Pokémon Go. It's been a few weeks since the game came out and I just don't get. My day job is literally to get this kind of stuff, to understand what makes a trending game interesting to the millions of people who play it, but it's hard. As someone deeply embedded in the games industry, I've never felt more out of touch. Maybe I'm getting old.
Alright, well to be fair, I do understand the basic allure of Pokémon Go. Pokémon is a huge franchise with a lot of nostalgia attached to it. It's no surprise people familiar with Pikachu and the gang are checking out the app. I also see why the quirky ARG overlay of Pokémon sitting on your coffee table or something is funny in a gimmicky sort of way—hey, look, it's Koffing in a vape shop. Hell, I can even see why folks rally around the fictional teams of Valor, Mystic, and Instinct. We're all familiar with group mentality and the sorting hat.

IBM: "IBM announced a new financing program, including credit from IBM for used equipment, attractive lease terms and no payments until 2011, for credit-qualified clients in the U.S. that trade-in select Oracle-Sun and HP systems and migrate to upgradeable systems of IBM's new Power(R) family of workload optimized servers," the company said in a press release last week.
In addition to offering cash-strapped CIOs some powerful financial incentives, the IBM customer-migration announcement also went on to dig very specifically at the uncertainty issue HP and Oracle have created for themselves:
" 'We are giving HP and Oracle-Sun clients a way to trade in their old equipment for credit for new Power Systems and get a great leasing program to help manage costs,' said Dan Ransdell, GM, IBM Global Financing, North America. 'We are hearing from clients that they are worried about fuzzy, uncertain product roadmaps and rising maintenance fees from other IT manufacturers. They can easily switch to IBM's latest workload optimized systems with leasing and an upgrade plan that protects against technology obsolescence.' "
On top of that, in a note to the media accompanying the press release, IBM's P.R. team bluntly stated Big Blue's desire to stoke those concerns about potential instability in the HP-Oracle roadmap and among its management:
"While those two companies publicly litigate Mark Hurd's future, we are going after their clients," says the note from IBM P.R. "Clients in this economy are looking for stable IT investments, and they are not hearing clear signals from Oracle or HP on what to expect from their acquisition strategies or leadership changes. Oracle offers a shaky product roadmap and Solaris 11 is long overdue. HP's recent product announcements are late to market (indeed, most are not yet available) and their one-off acquisitions have some clients scratching their heads."
While I realize CIOs don't base strategic decisions on messages from vendor P.R. teams, we can all be certain that IBM's sales teams are repeating those exact sames messages out in the field and highlighting not only the theatrics taking place among their primary competitors but also the enticing deals IBM is prepared to execute immediately.
SAP: In the middle of last week, SAP announced its intentions to stage on Sept. 14 a "global event to unveil SAP's vision for business analytics along with a new industry-tailored approach and family of solutions."
The online presentation will feature SAP CEO Bill McDermott plus CIOs from six customers to discuss "the importance and evolving role of analytics in business today," according to SAP.
And SAP's McDermott concurred that the recent goings-on with Oracle and SAP make this an ideal time for his company to push back aggressively against Oracle in the applications space, according to a New York Times interview with the SAP executive. Here's an excerpt from that article:
" 'This is net-positive for us,' he said in an interview on Wednesday.
"The potential benefit to SAP, Mr. McDermott explains, is that Oracle's executive-suite shuffling serves to underline the different paths the two companies are taking.
"In Mr. Hurd, Oracle is bringing in a top-shelf executive who knows computer hardware, both from his years at H.P. and at NCR before that. That strategic and operational know-how is crucial to Oracle, since it acquired Sun Microsystems earlier this year.
"Mr. McDermott called the Sun purchase 'Oracle's wild move into hardware.'
"By contrast, he said, SAP is 'staying true to its core' in software" (end of excerpt).
For its Sept. 14 event, SAP is expected roll out 15 new real-time business applications, according to the Times story, as well as a set of tools to help developers create mobile applications to complement the aggressive mobile position SAP has staked out, led by its acquisition this year of Sybase.
On top of that, the specific language used by SAP in describing its event counters an extremely pointed set of claims leveled against SAP by Ellison earlier this year when the Oracle chief said his company would overtake SAP in the enterprise apps business due in large part to Oracle's vast superiority in what Ellison repeatedly called "industry-specific functionality."
Looking to blunt that claim and cement among customers the notion that it has no intention of ceding even a fraction of its leadership in applications to Oracle, SAP says the new real-time business apps it will roll out will help drive its "new industry-tailored approach" and will include "industry-specific solutions."
Yes, at this point it's all a lot of talk, and yes, Oracle Open World starts in less than a week and will give Ellison and Oracle a tremendous platform for pushing back hard on IBM and SAP and every other IT company in the universe.
But in today's environment, CIOs have more than enough of their own concerns to manage without having to try to parse what, if anything, all the HP-Oracle drama might or might not mean to the IT strategies of those customers.
So it's the ideal time for IBM and SAP to rush in and try to convince those CIOs that there are better approaches available that offer not only less cost but also less uncertainty and less drama.

Thinking Space by Hi-Res!
Typically I am not a fan of Flash websites anymore, but sometimes I change my mind. This new site, Thinking Space, designed by Hi-Res! changed my mind today, I like it. Very interesting interface and effect on the images.
Dazed and Confused on Flickr
Did you know Dazed and Confused magazine was on Flickr? Well I didn't, and that was a nice surprise. Its full of some very inspirational fashion imagery, but watch out for a little fluff and celebrity hoopla around the edges. Enjoy
Making of The Shining
Came across this gem today, its well worth the 35 minute break from work to see this behind the scenes of Kubrick's masterpiece. Jack Nicholson cracks me up when he is prepping for the scene where he bangs down the bathroom, quality.
Monster Memories
So halloween is next month, and I just found you one nice inspiration area for goblins, trolls, beasts, and other ghouls that you might want to draw. Check out Monster Memories for one large and strange archive of horror movie posters and more. Or you can always grab what you need from us, keyword Halloween.
Network Osaka
I have been following Network Osaka's work for the past year on Flickr, and the work continues to impress upon each new posting. Their work is very retro, but at the same time a unique and modern twist on type and overall communication. It is designers like this that I would love to see redesign…
Part & Parcel
Part & Parcel is a new studio from Brooklyn heavy hitters, Damien Correll and Garrett Morin.

Ben recently won our typography grant over at Society6. We thought we should show you some of his work and let him introduce himself with this little interview.
