Robert H. Henry, Esq.
School and College Legal Services of California
5350 Skylane Boulevard
Santa Rosa, California 95403
Dear Mr. Henry:
This responds to your letter of December 26, 2004, in which you identified a potential conflict between California law and the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), 20 U.S.C. § 1232g. Your letter indicates that School and College Legal Services of California represents over 200 school and community college districts in the State. This Office administers FERPA and provides technical assistance to educational agencies and institutions to ensure compliance with the statute and regulations codified at 34 CFR Part 99.
You provided a copy of a recent Opinion of the California Attorney General, 87 Op. Atty. Gen. 168 (No. 04-112) dated November 29, 2004, and suggested that public school districts in the State will not be able to comply with both the Attorney General's Opinion and the right of parents to access their children's student records under FERPA. Under § 99.61 of the FERPA regulations, an educational agency or institution is required to notify this Office within 45 days if it determines that it cannot comply with FERPA due to a conflict with State or local law.
The Opinion responds to two questions about State law regarding students' receipt of confidential medical services. The Attorney General determined that §§ 46010.1 and 48205 of the Education Code require school districts to notify both students and their parents that students may be excused from school for confidential medical appointments without parental consent. Based on this interpretation, the Opinion concludes that a school district may not 1) require a student to obtain written parental consent prior to releasing the student from school to receive confidential medical services; and 2) adopt a policy pursuant to which the district will notify a parent when a student leaves school to obtain confidential medical services.
In regard to the potential conflict between State law and FERPA, you pointed out by way of example that State regulations require schools to maintain records of excused student absences along with the method that was used to verify that the absences were excused. See 5 CCR §§ 420 and 421. Your letter states that "[t]he Attorney General's Opinion concludes that parents are not to be given access to such records."
FERPA provides that parents have a right to inspect and review their children's education records, which are defined as records that are directly related to a student and maintained by an educational agency or institution, or by a party acting for the agency or institution. 20 U.S.C. § 1232g(a)(1)(A); 34 CFR Part 99, Subpart B, and § 99.3 ("Education records"). Once a student reaches 18 years of age or attends a postsecondary institution, all FERPA rights transfer from parents to the student. 34 CFR §§ 99.3 ("Eligible student") and 99.5. We assume for purposes of this discussion that the students in question are not "eligible students" and that the parents retain their right to inspect and review their children's education records under FERPA.
State law provides that parents have an "absolute right to access to any and all pupil records related to their children which are maintained by school districts ... except as provided for in [Chapter 6.5. Pupil Records]." Cal Ed Code § 49069; see also Cal Ed Code § 51101(a)(10). While State law provides that parents have a right to "be notified on a timely basis if their child is absent from school without permission" (Cal Ed. Code § 51101(a)(4)), a student has a right to obtain "confidential medical care ... without the consent of his or her parent or guardian." Cal Ed Code § 49091.12(b). The Attorney General's Opinion concludes (at page six) that minors have a right under State law not only to seek sensitive medical treatment without parental consent but to keep the existence of such medical services confidential, even from their parents. The Opinion explains further (at page six):
Nor is our conclusion inconsistent with statutes giving parents access to certain information bearing on their children's education, including access to their children's school records. (Ed. Code, §§ 49061; 51101, subd. (a)(10).) [5 Nothing in this opinion is intended to curtail a parent's right to be informed when his or her child has been absent from school without excuse. (Ed. Code, § 51101, subd. (a)(4).)]5 While providing parental access to this information, the Legislature has protected students' rights to informational privacy, specifically regarding confidential medical services (e.g., Ed. Code, § 49091.12, subd. (b)) and disclosure of personal information to school counselors (Ed. Code, § 49602).
State regulations provide that a student's absence for medical, dental or optometrical services is one of four absences that are considered "allowable as attendance" when verified in accordance with Article 1.1. Record of Verification of Absence Due to Illness and Other Causes. See 5 CCR § 420(c). (The others include absence due to illness; quarantine directed by a county or city health officer; and attending funeral services of a member of the student's immediate family under specified conditions.) Thus, it appears that the Attorney General's conclusion is based on an understanding that parents' rights to obtain access to student records under State law covers records of unexcused absences under § 51101(4) of the Education Code, but it does not apply to records of excused absences, which includes a student's absence for confidential medical services. In regard to the particular example you provided, we note further that while 5 CCR § 421. Method of Verification provides a list of persons and methods that qualify for verification an absence due to illness or quarantine, there appears to be no parallel provision applicable to other excused absences, including absences for medical services.
In any case, a record of a student's absence for confidential medical services maintained by an educational agency or institution constitutes an "education record" under FERPA because it is directly related to a student. Further, there is no exception to the definition of "education records" or other basis in FERPA on which an educational agency or institution may deny parents their right to inspect and review their children's records of these excused or allowed absences under FERPA. Therefore, a public school that receives federal education funds and that maintains records of students' absences for confidential medical services may not comply with State law that requires it to deny parents their right under FERPA to inspect and review these records.
We will advise the State Superintendent of Public Instruction of this matter for appropriate follow-up and thank you for bringing it promptly to our attention.

ALBUQUERQUE, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- The college football bowl season begins Saturday with the first two of 34 contests that will conclude with Alabama meeting Notre Dame for the national title.
Action gets underway with Arizona facing Nevada in the New Mexico Bowl at Albuquerque and Utah State will take on Toledo in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl at Boise.
In addition to putting Alabama in the national championship game, the Southeastern will be the busiest of the conferences during the 24-day bowl season.
The SEC will have 10 teams in action, although the first one will not take the field until Vanderbilt meets North Carolina State in Nashville's Music City Bowl on New Year's Eve.
That conference will also be trying to extend what is currently a six-year streak of national crowns that began when Florida defeated Ohio State at the end of the 2006 season.
Since then the national championship has been won by LSU, Florida, Alabama, Auburn and Alabama.
In the four other Bowl Championship Series games, Florida will play Louisville in the Sugar Bowl, Oregon will take on Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl, Stanford will face Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl and surprising Northern Illinois will try for the upset against Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
Northern Illinois has won 12 games in a row and is led by quarterback Jordan Lynch, who has accounted for 4,739 yards and 43 touchdowns this season.
The most attractive of the non-BCS bowls will send Texas A&M against Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl.
A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel became the first freshman in college football history to win the Heisman Trophy. He threw for 3,419 yards and 24 touchdowns this season and ran for 1,181 yards and 19 more scores.
Manziel jumped into the Heisman Trophy picture when he led the Aggies to a shocking road win over Alabama.
The national championship game will be played Jan. 7 in Miami.

I know a lot of peoople will disagree with this but I reckon that the eastern forehand is better than the semi-western or western.
1 - It is more natural and easier to hit the ball as it matches the palm of your hand.
2 - It is more versatile.
3 - Studies have shown less wrist injuries associated with people who use the eastern over the other two.
4 - It is possible to generate just as much topspin and power.
5 - The most successful player of all time (Federer) uses an eastern. The second most successful (Sampras) used an eastern.
This is just my opinion of course but I win more matches when I use the eastern than the semi-western and I don't think that the semi-western should be taught to juniors as "the only forehand grip" over the others.
So what do you all think?

No we were not. I was asking for evidence for your assertions that
(1) AVEN says "We're first and we're the best and the rest of you STFU." or that 'AVEN is "The Best Site" and it should be the "only" Asexual site out there',
(2) people were "ridiculed and attacked" for going to other asexual sites and then coming back to AVEN.
But I wouldn't bother. You won't find evidence for the first. I sincerely doubt you'd have more luck on the second either, but who knows.
KAGU143 wrote:I think the biggest reason that AVEN *seems* to be portraying itself as elevated above the other sites is due to DJ. He refuses to even set foot (figuratively) into any of the other asexual sites. Why is that?
I spoke to DJ about apositive among other things the first time I met him in person, back in 2011. He seemed interested to know what was going on here. The overwhelmingly most likely reason he has never made an account is that he wouldn't have time to participate in many discussions. (After all, he doesn't have time to participate in many AVEN threads these days.) I'm sure if he'd known you saw it as important for him to make an account, and perhaps an intro post, even if he didn't have time to participate further, he'd have done so.
I don't know about discussion forums but has he ever participated in asexual *projects* that others have started? Absolutely. Examples that spring to mind:
[*] Hot Pieces of Ace - a video collaboration project, started on AVEN but not by him; I'm sure his participation for a time was a boost to the project,
[*] Asexual Awareness Week - a project started by Sara Beth Brooks (who has an AVEN account but is rarely on there); he has most certainly thrown his weight behind this one,
[*] WorldPride 2012; he took the time out of his busy schedule to fly all the way to London for WorldPride; you can imagine what a boost this was for me and others involved in making WP 2012 happen.
And probably many more.
DJ distinguishes between the asexuality *movement* and the *community*. All of the above projects are primarily movement not community projects, though there is some overlap. It seems to me most of his public participation these days is in the movement not the (at least online) community. (He does go to SF meets still.) That to me is the most likely reason he doesn't join other online communities such as apositive. It's a matter of not having time for everything and thus narrowing his role so that he is still able to have a role in asexuality.
Could you see his involvement in the above projects as promoting his own interests? Of course. But there is nothing wrong with liking the limelight, and by participating he is bringing benefit to others as well. I don't ask people for sacrifices. If everyone wins, I'm more than happy with the situation.

Whoah... I just finished Game 5 about twenty minutes ago. It's 5:30 in the morning here, so I'm a little bit... out of it.
Well, from what I've seen from the screencaps, I think that Battler's going to try real hard to screw up Erika, or some new jerk is going to try and capsize the game-again. For starters, we've got the twin demons, the new Hanyuu spin-off, as well as a bunch of the old characters from previous games. I kinda wonder how Ryuukishi's going to make this as final as he made it sound like it was going to be at the end of Game 5.
By the way, with the three new (possible) characters, how many are we at now? Umineko's starting to feel like a Dickens novel with all these characters running around.

The death of the six from 1st twilight was not confirmed. Their dead-portraints were being half.....
(Japanese text said Erika did not check detailedly, the cause of death was not known.)
I made my speculation here.
Hair-down-suit Beatrice was portrayed as the culprit in this episode. She called two new demons and sent them to make pacts with Jessica, Shannon, George, and Kanon to perform the killings. And gown-Beatrice was calling meta-Beatrice "father", and hair-down-suit Beatrice "elder sister"
My hypothesis of current real Beatrice (cthe ulprit and mastermind) was 1952 Beatrice's daughter was working fine. So the gown-Beatrice was the image of 1967 Beatrice, and she indeed was current real Beatrice's younger sister.
Real Beatrice's one major motive was to send Maria to golden Land, so she would execute Maria by her hand and Rosa would be killed as well, as a punishment for tearing Sakutarou if she failed to repent.

That picture is about Suit-Beatrice asking Gown-Beatrice why Gown-Beatrice likes Battler... and that's about it, from what I'm able to read. There's a little bit more, so I'll just have to translate two or so more kanji's, since they're not in my Japanese vocabulary.
Also, since Battler already know's the answer to the mystery, I guess there is no reason for him to live past the 1st twilight seeing as though he was there to show us the mystery and also to solve it. Guess the story will be told through Erika's pov.

WHy did you ask why Kinzo's portraint was gray? He was known to die before Oct 4 1986.
What interested me more was why all other portraints were not in red or gray. This contradicted a previously found screenshot.

However if the bomb really can't be disabled after the 1st twilight then that means we have to eliminate a big chunk of the list. Only people remaining are Kyrie and Natsuhi.

NEW YORK -- An evening of delayed premieres for the networks last week ended with a bang, a solid thump and a fizzle.
ABC, NBC and the CW all debuted new dramas last Wednesday to varied receptions. The bang went to the CW network and its fantasy series "Arrow," about a character who is a millionaire playboy by day and a vigilante at night. The 4.1 million viewers reported by Nielsen wouldn't seem much by larger network standards, but for the good-news-starved CW, it was the most-watched show since 2009.
ABC's "Nashville" was one of the year's best-reviewed new shows, and the nearly 9 million people who sampled its first episode made it the network's third most-watched drama. It finished a strong second behind CBS' long-running "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" at the 10 p.m. ET slot.
At the same time, NBC's new "Chicago Fire" might need a shot of lighter fluid. The new drama reached 6.6 million people with its premiere.
Despite that showing, long-slumping NBC can boast about its best showing for an early TV season in a decade. For the third week in a row, it won among the 18-to-49-year-old age demographic that it considers most important. Pro football and "The Voice" led the way.
Stalwart CBS, as it has most weeks, won among all viewers. Its Tuesday night one-two punch of "NCIS" and the spinoff "NCIS: Los Angeles" is the network's most popular.
CBS had an average of 9.7 million viewers in prime time (6.3 rating, 10 share). NBC had 8.1 million (5.0, 8), ABC had 8 million (5.2, 8), Fox had 6.1 million (3.7, 6), the CW had 2 million (1.2, 2) and ION Television had 1.1 million (0.6, 1).
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with a 3.7 million prime-time average (2.0, 3). Telemundo had 1.1 million (0.6, 1), TeleFutura had 650,000 (0.2, 1), Estrella had 230,000 and Azteca 110,000 (both 0.1, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.7 million viewers (5.2, 10). ABC's "World News" was second with 7.2 million (4.9, 10) and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.1 million viewers (4.2, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of Oct. 8-14, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: NFL Football: Green Bay at Houston, NBC, 19.92 million; "NCIS," CBS, 18.51 million; "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 15.72 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 15.18 million; "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 14.23 million; "Dancing With the Stars," ABC, 13.55 million; "Dancing With the Stars Results," ABC, 13.33 million; "The Voice" (Monday), NBC, 12.89 million; "Modern Family" (Wednesday, 9:30 p.m.), ABC, 12.31 million; "The Voice" (Tuesday), 12.19 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox and My Network TV are units of News Corp. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks. TeleFutura is a division of Univision. Azteca America is a wholly owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V.

My Testimony
It's hard to put into words how I feel toward my Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have so many reasons to be thankful for what I have gone through & endured. Because of my trials in life I have gained a strong testimony of Faith. I have always had Faith in the Lord and in Prayer. As I faced the decision to get a double lung transplant I had to rely on faith to make the choice.....By listening to the spirit, I was guided to Pittsburgh where my life was saved. I believe prayers are answered. I have always tried to follow the philosophy of this: If I do what the Lord expects of me, he will give me what I want & need. That has always worked for me. I Believe in MIRACLES..........My life on this earth is a miracle- I prayed on my knees for years to be healed from my lung disease. I knew that through a priesthood blessing (if it was God's will) I could be healed. So many times I thought he would heal me instantly...my faith was tested as I continued to get sick and no cure was in my future. I turned to prayer....I talked to my Heavenly Father, I cried to him and he heard me and he healed me by guiding me to Pittsburgh and guiding the surgeons hands. I learned humility, and thankfulness. I realized that we need others to lean on and we are supposed to strengthen each others testimonies. I learned that the hardest things we'll do are usually the greatest blessings in our life. I was able to experience a lot of things during surgery and I know I had comforting angels in my ICU room. THe Lord knows each of us by name and he will never leave our side. We need to remember to stay close to him and have Faith that he is watching over us. I know this for a fact! I know that following the gospel will bring us true happiness- the world will tell us otherwise, but I know I am truely happy & living the gospel has brought me that. Amen

Continuing with my 1999 article in "Michigan History":
LaSalle's route across the Lower Peninsula has fascinated authors and historians for many years. There is, however, only one primary source documenting the trip - a letter LaSalle wrote to one of his investors in September of 1680. The text of the letter has been preserved in Pierre Margray's Memoirs et Documents Pour Servir a L'histoire des Origines Francaises des Pays D'outre-mer; Decouvertes et Etablissments desFrancais dans L'ouest et dans le Sud D'Amerique Septenrionale, published in Paris in the 1880s.
LaSalle clearly understood the difficulty facing him. Reflecting in that letter he explained,
Though the thaws of approaching Spring greatly increased the difficulty of the way, interrupted as it was everywhere by marshes and rivers, to say nothing of the length of the journey. . . and the danger of meeting Indians of four or five nations, through whose country we were to pass, as well as an Iroquois army, which we knew was coming that way; though we must suffer all the time from hunger, sleep on the open ground, often without food; watch by night and march by day, loaded with baggage, such as blanket, clothing, kettle, hatchet, gun, powder, lead and skins to make moccasins; sometimes pushing through thickets, sometimes climbing rocks covered with ice and snow, sometimes wading whole days through marshes when the water was waist-deep or even more, at a season when snow was not entirely melted----though I knew all this, it did not prevent me from resolving to go.
At the time of LaSalle's journey, the southern part of the Lower Peninsula, particularly the area between the Grand River valley and the St.Joseph river valley, was largely deserted. Many local tribes had left the area in fear of the rampaging Iroquois. According to LaSalle, it was a sort of no-man's land. "The Indians do not hunt there because it is situated between five or six tribes which are at war with one another, who, because they fear one another, dare not go to these parts without the greatest precautions; they never appear except with the intention of surprising one another, as secretly as possible."
LaSalle knew he had to travel approximately straight east to reach Lake Erie. He used a magnetic compass to determine direction and an astrolabe, which measures the angle of the sun or North Star above the horizon, to determine latitude. He was unable, however, to determine longitude so he did not know how far it was across the peninsula.
LaSalle was in a hurry. He didn't have time to build or acquire a canoe and take the longer route of going up Lake Michigan to Michilimackinac, then south through Lake Huron, the St. Clair River, Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River to Lake Erie. Going overland through prairies, open oak forests and oak savannas would make for easy traveling, but would leave them exposed to wandering war parties. So LaSalle chose to travel through the Paw Paw River valley. The Paw Paw flows from the east, there were no Indian trails following the river and the southern hardwood forests of the valley made inconspicuous movement possible. The disadvantage was that hiking conditions were atrocious.
NEXT: They are traveling

REHOBOTH — The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee requested a recount on Tuesday morning of the narrow Rehoboth vote against a ballot question to allow the town to fund roof repairs of the district's shared high school.
During a town election on Monday, the ballot question lost by just two votes, with a total of 1,362 votes cast and 17 percent voter participation, according to results provided by the Rehoboth town clerk. The vote count on Monday night showed that 655 people voted against the measure to fund the high school roof repair, with 653 voting fot it and with 54 blanks that were registered.
The extremely close vote against the high school roof project — with a total estimated price tag of $6,698,587, of which 52 percent was to be covered by state funding — comes amid ongoing contention about assessments for the two towns. A problem with the method used to determine the towns' assessments came to light in January, when it was discovered that Dighton was being charged $1 million more than it should have been, the school committee said.
A similar, but separate, ballot question to fund roof repairs at the Beckwith Middle School, located in Rehoboth, passed on Monday, with 735 voting for the proposal and 568 voting against it.
The regional school committee requested a recount petition for all three precincts related to the high school roof project vote, said Rehoboth Town Clerk Laura Schwall. They must now gather 10 signatures in favor of a recount from each of the three precincts before they can be certified, Schwall said.
Schwall said that the committee has to return the petitions no later than 5 p.m. on the tenth day after the election.
"We will be guided through the process with town counsel," Schwall said.
Raymond Medeiros, chair of the Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee, said that Monday's vote is "still somewhat clouded," and that the number of blanks registered on the high school roof vote "is confusing" to him. He urged voters in Dighton, who are voting on a similar ballot question on Saturday, to support the high school roof project.
"I personally was saddened by the low turnout in Rehoboth," Medeiros said. "The decisions on the two roofs was a critical issue and to have only 17 percent of the electorate participate is disappointing, considering that the high school bond issue lost by a mere two votes. … There will be a request for a recount since there was such a small difference between those in favor and those against the high school bond."
The high school roof project received approval for 52 percent reimbursement through an accelerated school repair program offered through the Massachusetts School Building Authority.
The Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School Committee approved that state funding on Jan. 29, and the MSBA has 120-day deadline from that day for the towns to approve funding for the project.
According to MSBA policy, which is available online, in the event of a failed vote for funding by a town in the regional district, by no later than 10 business days following the failed vote the school district must submit to the MSBA a plan that presents the vote results, explains why the school district believes the vote failed and sets forth the school district's plan to remedy the failed vote, along with a suggested timeline for such a remedy. The policy says that if the vote fails, the school district will likely have to start from square one.
"The MSBA will review the plan and determine whether it can continue to set aside MSBA funds for the proposed project," the policy says. "However, a failed local vote likely will result in the school district being required to submit a new Statement of Interest to the MSBA and await an invitation from the MSBA to enter the Eligibility Period phase of the MSBA's process."

VICOSTONE Quartz surfaces require minimum maintenance
1. Use only mild detergent and tap water for daily routine cleaning, and rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
For stubborn spots, instead of mild detergent apply a household mild, non-abrasive cleanser with neutral pH (pH is between 6 and 8) on a damp, moisten soft cloth or non-abrasive sponge, and make sure to rinse after cleaning.
If accidentally food, chewing gum, nail-polish, paint or any other foreign matter found sticking to the top/floor, simply scrape away the same with a sharp blade or sharp plastic scraper. Then wash and rinse the surface in the normal way with water.
2. It is advisable not to use hydro fluoric acid, any product containing trichlorethane or methylene chloride and paint strippers.
3. VICOSTONE Quartz surfaces are designed and manufactured to withstand moderate heat and the product is not heat proof. We always recommend using a hot pad or trivet when setting down hot pans or cooking plates on your countertops.
4. Common kitchen implements including sharp knives won't harm the VICOSTONE Quartz surfaces. Continued use of kitchen knives on the bench tops could dull the polished surfaces. Care should be exercised when moving heavy objects and avoid dropping heavy kitchen tools.
5. It is advisable to avoid direct sunlight over a prolonged period on the surfaces.
6. Maintenance of floors: VICOSTONE Quartz surfaces can be easily cleaned with warm water and mild household detergent, using a standard mop.
7. Finishes other than polished surfaces can show more signs of daily life activities such as finger prints, hard water residues, etc. Hence these surfaces will require more frequent cleaning and maintenance.

Add Color or Dye Trying: DIY Project Transformations with Pigment
Immediately after finishing up my mudcloth project earlier this month, I looked around the house and asked myself, "Hmmmm, now what else can I dye?" There are so many other materials out there in the world, why stop at just fabric? I just want to turn the world into a great big vat of Rit Dye or blackberries and throw everything — furniture, accessories, you name it — in and swirl it around.
Until that happens, here are some ways to alter something you perhaps already own, and inject a little color into your space. Use the right pigment for the material, and the world is your dye bath.
- Plastic: Here's something I would have never thought to do: dye ordinary plastic switch plates. Using recipes from Rit Dye, you can also color match the paint on your walls. Booom. That was the sound of your mind being blown.
- Wood: We've seen the "dipped" look lots, but it's usually done with tape and paint. Wood absorbs color really well, which makes stool feet perfect candidates for a dye job. Martha Stewart did it, and the results are really great.
- Bamboo: Martha also dunked some place mats, and instantly transformed inexpensive bamboo into something more personal and fun.
- Wicker: And speaking of natural materials, The Andes House makes some beautiful clever color-blocked modular lampshades. You could achieve a similar look with an existing lampshade, like this $39 one from Ikea.
- Leather: And then there is always leather. Design Sponge came up with these stained round coasters, and I can see this technique applied to other, larger projects.
- Cement: Plain concrete projects are everywhere these days, but the Curtis Casa experimented with cement pigment for her planters.
- Rope: In case you wondered, dying rope is a total yes according to Delightfully Noted!
- Glass: Tinted mason jars add great pastel color to a shelf or glass cabinet. Momtastic did a bunch in every color in the rainbow.
- Wax: If you find yourself making candles one afternoon, inject additional shades with some melted crayons in different colors. This idea is from, again, Martha Stewart.
- Rug: The bright saturated color of over-dyed rugs is possible with commercial dye and some elbow grease. Robert from Design Lines did it for about $175.
What's the weirdest thing you've ever tried to dye, and did it work?

District Attorney Craig Ladd said he is asking Attorney General Scott Pruitt to assign another prosecutor's office to review the case involving the misappropriation of funds from the Love County Sheriff's Department.
"My written request for the assignment of a different district attorney was mailed to the Attorney General this afternoon (Thursday), Ladd said.
The district attorney said he made the request after reviewing an investigative report on the alleged incident submitted to his office last week by OSBI Agent David Seals.
"The report indicated that in late 2012 an employee of the Love County Sheriff's Office misappropriated a sum of cash which had been seized in the summer of 2012, during a traffic stop in Love County. The money was seized because of its suspected link to drug trafficking. Following the seizure of said money and prior to its misappropriation, the money was kept in a safe at the Love County Sheriff's Department," Ladd said.
The district attorney said he is asking the AG to reassign the case for three reasons.
"Myself and District 20 employee, Love County Assistant District Attorney Tim Burson, serve as legal advisors to the Love County Sheriff. Furthermore, both myself and Mr. Burson have worked closely with the suspect in this matter on various cases. In addition, the entities which would have been most affected by a misappropriation of the money in question is the Love County Sheriff's Department and the District Attorney's Offices of District 20," Ladd said.
"Because of these reasons and in an effort to avoid the appearance of any impropriety in regards to filing decisions or the manner in which the case will be prosecuted, I requested the Attorney General to assign a different district attorney to review this matter and then take the appropriate action."
Although rumors have circulated in Love County for weeks over the identity of the suspect, Ladd did not reveal the person's name and no charges have been formally filed against anyone at this time.
Love County Sheriff Joe Russell has refused to confirm if anyone on his staff has resigned or been placed on administrative leave in connection with the case.
"I am not going to comment until this is over," Russell told The Ardmoreite during an interview published in the Feb. 20th edition.

I guess this episode will be a NEL
Leg seemed very rushed they could have easily made it a 90 minute episode! We didn't see the roadblock which was at Wild Wadi!
A Seven spokesman says the race travels with security personnel and employs numerous local staff at each location, including local security."We are very confident in the seamless security procedures we have in place throughout the production, but unfortunately contestants may not always notice as they are so focused on the race."

Payton Having Trouble Completing Staff
Payton having trouble completing staff
By SHELDON MICKLES
Advocate Sports Writer
Published: Jan 25, 2006
MOBILE, Ala. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâì? First-year New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton is facing some obstacles as he tries to put together a coaching staff around his only hire so far ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâì? defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs.
Payton announced Monday the hiring of Gibbs, who served the last four years as linebackers coach for the Dallas Cowboys, but heÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs been blocked from talking to several other current NFL assistants by their teams.
Saints General Manager Mickey Loomis, who is attending Senior Bowl workouts with Payton and other members of the football operations staff, acknowledged Tuesday that teams are making it difficult on Payton.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅI donÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât know the number,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? Loomis said when asked if teams have denied the Saints permission to talk to their assistants. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅI donÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât know what it is, but itÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs been several.ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì?
The Tampa Tribune reported Tuesday that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would not let the Saints talk to Aaron Kromer, who joined the Bucs staff last year as senior assistant to coach Jon Gruden and assistant offensive line coach. The Bucs have typically not allowed assistant coaches under contract to talk to other teams.
The paper reported that Payton wanted to talk to Kromer, who signed a three-year contract when he went to the Bucs from the Oakland Raiders, about the SaintsÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââ offensive coordinator job.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅThatÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs the climate that weÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââre in these days,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? Loomis said. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅGood assistants that are under contract, teams want to keep them ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâì? and I understand that.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅThe rules are such that if youÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââre an assistant coach, no matter what the job is, as long as itÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs an assistant coach teams have a right to deny permission if the guy is under contract.ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì?
Loomis said Payton, who is conducting interviews here this week while scouting players that will participate in the 57th annual Senior Bowl on Saturday, has spoken with a number of candidates so far.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅI think heÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs had some good conversations,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? Loomis said, ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅbut we donÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât have anything to report at this time.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅWeÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââve had a lot of inquiries, but thatÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs pretty typical because this is the top of the profession,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? he added. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅA lot of guys want to coach in the NFL, so we do have a lot of inquiries.ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì?
One name that popped up is Stanford defensive coordinator and secondary coach Tom Hayes, who was the defensive coordinator at Oklahoma from 1991 to 1994 when Gibbs was the head coach there.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅHeÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs a guy whoÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs name has come up, but I donÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât know that there has been any formal interview or anything like that,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? Loomis said. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅHeÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs part of another staff and heÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs working at another club or college.ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì?
Loomis remained mum Tuesday on if Payton will keep any members of former coach Jim HaslettÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs staff. While no official announcement has been made, offensive coordinator Mike Sheppard and defensive coordinator Rick Venturi will not be retained.
Five other coaches have already secured jobs on either the pro or college levels and Loomis said Payton has talked to several assistants from the SaintsÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââ current staff.
Gibbs, who was the defensive coordinator on Nick SabanÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs LSU staff in 2001, talked with Louisiana reporters on Tuesday for the first time after arriving in Mobile on Monday night.
He said early plans are for the Saints to continue using a 4-3 defensive alignment even though more teams are going to a three-man front ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâì? like the Cowboys did this season.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅThereÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs no question (the 3-4) is viable, all you got to do is look around the league and look at the teams that run it and the success theyÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââve had,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? Gibbs said. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅSurely, we transitioned there at Dallas a year ago and had some success, but itÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs not really an issue with us here in New Orleans.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅCertainly weÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââre going to look at a variety of things in terms of our package, but weÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââll probably maintain a 4-3 look and do some different things like everybody does around the league.ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì?
Gibbs, who interviewed with Payton in New Orleans over the weekend and flew back to Dallas on Sunday, said he hadnÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât had a lot of time to study the SaintsÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââ defensive personnel yet.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅWeÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââve had conversations regarding different people, but havenÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât had a chance to sit down and look at any tape anything like that,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? he said.
Gibbs said the key to playing good defense is to stop the run and not give up big plays, two things that have plagued the Saints in recent seasons. They finished 30th out of 32 teams against the run in 2004 and were 27th last season.
Still, he said he didnÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât know if stopping the run would be the top priority going into their first offseason together.
ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅI donÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃâât know whatÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââs No. 1,ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì? Gibbs said. ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆÃâ¦Ã¢Ãâ¬ÃÅNo. 1 is just getting a group of players and coaches together, and everybody getting on the same page and understanding weÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡ÃâìÃÆââÃâ¬ÃžÃââre in the business of winning.ÃÆÃÆÃââÃÆââÃâ¬ÃÅ¡Ãâì?

Jimmy Smith, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gary Gibbs said Tuesday, Jan. 24, that despite his history of coaching a 3-4 scheme, he'll likely keep the more commonly used 4-3 front in New Orleans. There's no question it's viable," Gibbs said of the 3-4. "All you've got to do is look around the league and look at teams that have run it and the success they've had. Certainly we transitioned to that in Dallas a year ago and had some success."

New Orleans Saints
-- Saints Trying to Assemble Coaching Staff --
Wed Jan 25, 2006 --from FFMastermind.com
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports Saints new HC Sean Payton continued meeting with potential assistant coaches during the Senior Bowl practices on Tuesday, confirming he was denied permission by the Miami Dolphins to speak to Dolphins quarterback coach Jason Garrett about joining the New Orleans staff. Garrett spent a year in New Orleans as a scout team quarterback in 1989, and his father, Jim, was an assistant on Hank Stram's Saints coaching staff. Garrett was a quarterback with the New York Giants when Payton coached there. Dolphins HC Nick Saban said Tuesday when asked about Garrett, "Why would I let my quarterback coach be theirs?" The Tampa Tribune reported Tuesday that the Saints sought permission to speak with Tampa Bay senior offensive assistant Aaron Kromer about the offensive coordinator's position but were denied. NFL rules prohibit teams from talking to assistant coaches about potential job opportunities without first gaining permission from the team to which they are under contract, whether or not the opportunity is a promotion. Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Tuesday he and Payton have been denied permission to speak with several assistants from other teams, but he couldn't put a number on it. League sources said Tuesday that the Saints were not allowed to interview St. Louis Rams wide receivers coach Henry Ellard. "I don't know what the number is," Loomis said, "but it has been several. That's the climate we're in these days. Good assistants who are under contract, teams want to keep them. I understand that." One non-NFL name that has surfaced is Stanford DC Tom Hayes, who coached with Gibbs at Oklahoma. Sources said Tuesday night the Saints may be intereted in former Rams OC Steve Fairchild. He and Payton were on the same staff at San Diego State in 1992. Current Saints defensive line coach John Pease said Tuesday he had a "fine" meeting with Payton this week but received no promises about the future. League sources said two other current Saints coaches are still under consideration for Payton's staff: special teams coordinator Al Everest and senior defensive assistant/secondary coach Willy Robinson. Assistant head coach/running game coordinator Jack Henry will not return. The San Diego Union Tribune is reporting that Henry interviewed for an opening with the Chargers. Sources said Tuesday that quarterbacks coach Turk Schonert and assistant offensive line coach Jim Pyne will not be retained. Tight ends coach Bob Palcic met with Payton but, sources said, will not stay on the staff. League sources say that Miami of Ohio strength coach Dan Dalrymple could get the same position with the Saints. It has been speculated that Carolina Panthers running backs coach Jim Skipper, who held the same position with the Saints from 1986 until 1995, might be interviewed about a position on Payton's staff, possibly as offensive coordinator or as the man in charge of the running game. But Skipper, reached in Charlotte, said the Saints still had not contacted the Panthers for permission to speak with him. Skipper wouldn't, however, dismiss interest in returning to New Orleans. Among the individuals passing Payton r̮̮̉*̮̩̉̉̉sum̮̮̉*̮̩̉̉̉s Tuesday was former Saints QB John Fourcade, who is currently the head coach and director of football operations for the Shreveport Battle Wings of the Arena2 Football League.

Quiet JAG
115bpm, kind of Italo House
It's going to get a 12" vinyl release in France in a different version than this (with vocals provided by a Parisian resident Spanish artist lady) but I don't know if it will get a wider release
get your ears on it
tweets, comments, likes etc. gratefully appreciated
they're gonna
make me beg
With your JAGging
You're the worst people in the world
You should make a record together
yeah but
I would never kick off about not being allowed to take my own tinnies into a venue
also, Bamnan requested a collaboration yesterday - if we threw Mick Squalor into the mix it would be JAGsville, USA
Delightful once more!
Three of my younger colleagues and another whose age is becoming increasingly harder to ascertain were waxing lyrical about this in the staff room just as I had downed tools and was preparing to leave for the night. Needless to say that I stayed and got a groove on! Excellent production again and I'm hoping for a top four finish!!
Good stuff
Really like this.
DM me your email if you'd like a promo
Excited to hear it with vocals.
well, it's an understated spoken word thing
rather than singing so...
I like it
found myself nodding my head along without really realising I was doing it, which was good sign.
Not sure about the orgasmic noise every now and again, but as it is *Italo House* it is probably genre specific.
Out of control?
It's been 3 months since the last one
- furio this'd this
Very impressive/slick production.
The music's not really to my personal taste (a bit too 'clean' for me), but a very well put together track nonetheless. What I like most is that it's a 'dance' track which grows without sounding like it was made on a Fruity Loops-style grid - do you know what I mean? With a lot of this kind of music I find it too rigid or obvious (and annoying) when new elements/instruments/sounds get added.
As a side point, is the bleepy bit at the beginning sampled from You Got the Love by Candi Staton? Sounds like it is to me, but I could be wrong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sd0zY_DYxjE
Cheers for the praise
no, no samples
it's a standard descending arpeggio, Candi's is a repeated 3 note motif and mine's a four note one
if you want something more scuzzy and freeform you'd probably much prefer the track in the previous JAG link above
it's going to be in a super-hip Parisian Boutique and as part of/alongside an art/film installation
which is not my idea of course
and presumably it'll be available digitally sometime afterwards
No one else?
Has this run its course already?
Well, here's another remix I did a few weeks ago of Sheffield indie band Screaming Maldini who are on Alcopops
Also 115(.25)bpm, a bit more blissed out though with cowbells & handclaps and melodic female vocals & such
Eddy Temple Morris is going to play this on his XFM remix show tomorrow night apparently
any thoughts/questions/insults/recipes?
he played this
and I missed it
and it was the last track of the show and got cut off the listen again player
Really, really like this - good job
(even if I did start singing along to the tune of 'One To Another' by The Charlatans at 1:40 ;))
Pro'ly just me
...don't worry about it. GREAT TRACK, ENJOYED IT.
thanks :)
but now everytime I listen to it I'm gonna think of Tim Burgess :/

Post subject: Off Topic: Chili's Bacon Burger
For the last several days (if not weeks), I feel like I've been bombarded by these advertisements from
(an international bar and grill chain that serves Tex-Mex inspired food) featuring their new Smokehouse Bacon Burgers. They claim to have "the thickest bacon you've ever seen". With a statement like that (How do they know? I've seen a lot of
!) I knew I had to go and take a look and see for myself (which is playing right into Chili's hands, but what can you do?).
Cliff (fellow developer at
) has been forced to watch their commercials over and over during a two day period where he was working on code supporting
videos. Several times, he pointed the ad out to me, but every time he did it, I looked over too late and was wondering what he was pointing at - an SNL skit? The Office? A tiny banner ad in the corner?
Two days later, he explained to me that he'd been seeing a lot of these Chili's ads with "the thickest bacon you've ever seen" (he was quoting the ad). So, we sat down and loaded a few Hulu pages until we got the ad. He grabbed a screenshot for me. The bacon DOES look rather thick as it spins through the air in closeup on a black background. Now a new problem arose - I couldn't get away from the ad! I was starting to see it everywhere online and on television! All the time!
What one of the television ads actually says is:
Welcome to Chili's! Pepper in some triple thick bacon with Chili's new Smokehouse Bacon Burgers. They're mammoth size burgers with
the thickest bacon you've ever seen
. Like the Southern Smokehouse Burger with bacon seasoned with brown sugar and chili pepper then grilled. Come in now and try them all. Only at Chili's. Pepper in some Bacon; Pepper in some Fun.
(A little explanation for those who are not familiar with Chili's is probably helpful here. Chili's logo is a red chili pepper and their slogan is currently "Pepper in some Fun".) Having seen a lot of bacon (as well as uncut bacon slabs - which I would think will beat any bacon Chili's could possibly serve in
), I couldn't help smirking every time I heard that claim. It was time to go see for myself.
On Friday night, Tina and I went to Chili's and I looked at the menu for their Smokehouse Bacon Burgers - apparently there were three different burgers. Even though I had seen the commercials a bunch of times, it hadn't gotten into my head that there was more than one burger. I asked the waiter if they all used the same thick cut bacon and he confirmed that they did - so I ordered a Jalapeno Smokehouse Bacon Cheeseburger as well as an extra order of bacon on the side. After the food arrived 30 minutes after ordering, I received a mess of a burger with the patty sitting 40% off of the bun and much of my lettuce under the fries instead of in the burger. Undeterred (for I had not come to Chili's to critique their food but to confirm they had the thickest bacon that I had ever seen), I examined the bacon that I received on the side and the two strips on the burger and determined that they were similar enough.
From my pocket, I produced calipers with which I proceeded to measure the thickness of the bacon (one of the strips I had ordered on the side for this specific purpose - if I was going to contaminate some bacon, I wasn't going to sacrifice one of the ones on my burger!). Having done the measurements, I can now report that (on Friday, April 13, 2008 at the Chili's in Santa Clara, California) they served bacon that was (to an accuracy of 1/128th of an inch) 3/16 in. thick (4.75 mm ± 0.2mm) after cooking. In my experience, that's really thick bacon.}?>
I have to hand it to Chili's the bacon truly is thick. In fact, I'll even call it extra thick. (They called it "triple thick", I'm not sure what that means unless there's a standard bacon thickness of 1/16 in. that I don't know about.) Does it truly hold up to its claim that it's the "thickest bacon you've ever seen"? My guess is that for most people that's true, but for me it was most definitely not the case.
As a comparison point, I'll have to bring up Peter Luger Steakhouse which serves the thickest slice of bacon that
have ever seen. I reviewed the restaurant earlier this year on
Orthogonal Thought
and had made sure that I had ordered their bacon. Peter Luger's bacon was about 2 times thicker than Chili's. Granted, I did not bring calipers on my trip to New York, so the 1 cm thickness of the bacon was estimated, but there is a clear difference in thickness. Of course, Peter Luger's bacon is $4 a slice while Chili's is 70 cents (I paid $1.40 for an extra two slices).
How did the bacon taste? It was well flavored (nice amount of smoke, but not overdone and not reliant on gimmicks like insane amounts of coarsely ground pepper) and had a good mix of fat and meat. Unfortunately, it was also barely warm and extremely chewy. Extremely chewy - there were some bites of the burger where I had to keep chewing for several ten or more seconds AFTER the burger had disintegrated. However, I did enjoy the flavor quite a bit and as I'm writing this, there's a part of me that wants to go back and try Southern Smokehouse Bacon Cheeseburger. (Personally, I wouldn't order the Jalapeno one again - the marinated jalapenos tasted a little odd in combination with everything. I couldn't quite put my finger on it, but I didn't enjoy the combination as much as my previous history with hamburgers would have led me to believe.)}?>

Post subject: mmm.... Bacon....
Recently I ordered a pig belly from Niman Ranch (http://www.nimanranch.com/control/product/~category_id=pork-specialty-cuts/~product_id=2005) which, when cured/smoked/grilled would put any other bacon to shame. This particular belly at it's widest point was
3 inches wide
when sliced. I sliced it as thin as i could reliably with a chefs knife, and it was probably between four and five mm. I can't measure the thickness as it has passed through my digestive track.
I too have been subjected to the Hulu/Chilis/Bacon commercials, and have a wry smile on my face every time I see them

Post subject: a stand on bacon
Very nice post, and way to have the motivation to actually hold chili's to their word. False advertisement is extraordinarily easy, and most of the time no one bothers to check on these claims. While Chili's may not literally have the thickest bacon ever created by man, at least they put in some good faith effort.
I hate it when no effort is put into the preparation and presentation of the food though. Come on Chili's, this is a sit-down restaurant, not Mcdonalds.

Post subject: Too much pork for just one fork
I was wondering about their claim. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting for us. My calipers are currently in the shop, so measuring the thickness would have been difficult. However, I recently bought some bacon (forgot the brand, but was in the bacon section of the supermarket) and cooked a few slices. I measured them and they were 1/16 inch thick, thus the triple thick claim. Anyway, i wondered what would happen to the thickness if i fileted the newly acquired bacon. I carefully fileted a few pieces and cooked them, then measured them (as you probably guessed, they cooked in less time). They were slightly less than 1/32 inch thick each. I would have expected the sum of the widths to be 1/16 inch. This was confusing. But, upon further investigation, i noticed some residue on my knife. While i made no attempt to determine if the residue was in fact equal to the missing bacon, I was content with my assumption it was. Oh, and the cooked bacon was unfreakingbelievably delicious. Now, on to preparations for the bacon vodka.

Post subject: I got your thick bacon right here
I lived in Japan for a while and I could go to the supermarket and buy "bacon steak", a single 1/2" thick slab of bacon. Really it's meant to be cubed and mixed into something else (bacon and pork are very popular flavorings there) but I suppose there's nothing stopping you from cooking the whole slab and putting it on a burger. In fact, forget the burger!
So how do you like that, Chili's? Put that in your smokehouse and uh... smoke it. Yeah.

The two common bacon thicknesses, you may know, are 12 or 16 to the pound. If you take a package of bacon in America, it's generally one pound and you can tell by looking that the total thickness of 1 pound is about 1 inch-- how close exactly, I dunno, and of course thickness changes with cooking. I'd say 3/16" cooked thickness is pretty amazingly thick.
I've gotten 1/4" bacon cut, as someone mentioned in Japan-- it's indeed a great way to flavor something with smokey salty bacon flavor. Cube it and you've got "lardons," which are the first ingredient to hit the pot in both coq au vin and virtually any chowder-- you render the fat from them to cook anything else.
There's also a restaurant out here that'll take a thick "steak" of bacon, probably 1/4" or more, and deep-fry the sucker. I don't know if my heart can take it, but I'd be willing to try it!
As for bacon vodka, I've had it, and it's great-- it also really elevates a screwdriver. Search around for the Bacon Old Fashioned, which uses Grade B maple syrup and bacon-infused bourbon; instead of infusing with all the bacon, it just uses the bacon fat, and apparently infuses in hours, not weeks!

I know we sacrifice health for good food, but there's nothing right about the number of calories in one of those Bacon Big Mouth burgers.

Just so you know.
There is no other way to cook it (in a restaurant anyway) or so they say. I n any case, that's what they do at Chili's.

Post subject: It is cooked on a grill
The bacon is cooked on the flattop grill using a sheet pan so it doesnt curl up. If you were to fry it, then it would be nice and curly which is not the case.

Chelsea exits from Champions League
Fernando Torres rediscovered his goal-scoring touch too late for Chelsea's Champions League hopes on Wednesday, with the English side becoming the first holders to exit at the group stage despite a 6-1 thrashing of FC Nordsjaelland.
On a bittersweet night for Chelsea, Torres ended a month-long goal drought by scoring twice in a match for the first time this season, and manager Rafa Benitez claimed his first win in his fourth fixture.
Chelsea went ahead in a frenzied spell in which both sides missed penalties before David Luiz scored from the spot in the 39th minute. Torres netted in first-half stoppage time.
Although Joshua John pulled one back for Nordsjaelland 20 seconds after the break, Gary Cahill began Chelsea's second-half goal spree with a header.
Torres drove in his second before Juan Mata and Oscar added further goals, but however stylish the performance, Chelsea will have to settle with a Europa League consolation place. The Blues finished third in Group E as Juventus' 1-0 victory at Shakhtar Donetsk ensured both sides advanced in the Champions League.
The trophy Roman Abramovich had targeted since his 2003 takeover and won unexpectedly in May has now been surrendered like no team before it, and led to manager Roberto Di Matteo being fired last month.
Chelsea's failure to progress owes much to Torres' inability to justify his $80 million-plus price tag with goals, with only one in Group E before Wednesday.
Such is the Spain striker's decline, Benitez was left extolling the merits of his contribution in defense on the eve of the match.
But Torres was at the heart of the powerful start by the energetic hosts, who were ripping through the Danish champions with ease.
Torres had a shot pushed round the post by goalkeeper Jesper Hansen, and put the ball through to Mata who set up Eden Hazard but the resulting shot was easily saved.
There was a let off for the visitors when Nicolai Stokholm turned the ball onto his own crossbar from Victor Moses' cross.
The first penalty was awarded by referee Bas Nijhuis in the 31st after Cahill handled, but goalkeeper Petr Cech dived correctly to his right to save from captain Nicolai Stokholm.
Almost immediately at the other end, Cahill's effort was then handled by Mikkel Beckmann. But Hazard was no better from the spot than Stokholm, as he struck low to the right and Hansen saved.
Chelsea, though, got another chance when Mata struck into Joshua John's arms. This time, Luiz found the net on his return from suspension, sending Hansen the wrong way.
Torres produced a morale-boosting goal in stoppage time after first clattering an effort against Hansen but then lifting the rebound into the net.
Chelsea was sloppy at the start of the second half as John surged past Branislav Ivanovic and beat Cech.
But Chelsea's two-goal cushion was restored after Torres won a free kick and Mata curled the ball in for Cahill to head powerfully into the net in the 51st.
Torres' second came five minutes later, driving into the net after Hazard cut the ball back to him.
Chelsea was now rampant and Mata played a one-two with Hazard before turning the ball into the net in the 63rd after his first effort was blocked by Hansen's legs.
Gaps in the tiring visiting defense were exploited again as Oscar picked up possession and slotted in the sixth in the 71st.

Jewish Art Limited Editions
One of the most often asked questions of Mr. Fazzino is "Why do you paint so much Jewish art?" In fact, it all started while he was attending The School of Visual Arts in New York City. He started painting the skyline of the lower east side of Manhattan, focusing in particular on the Jewish Delis in the area he frequented. The religious art images became increasingly popular and through them he began to meet more religious people and to study the Jewish religion. His Jewish art collection is born of both his respect for Judaism and the people who practice it and a growing demand for his religious themes. Check out the collection of Jewish theme 3D pop art hand-signed and numbered prints below.
