Indie artist the world around make mention of "ghosts", "monsters", "vampires", "evil" and general creepiness. Perhaps it is the pensive, introspective, and distrusting nature of the artistic mind that drives success in today's music scene. Or maybe the raw imagery of these spooky specters are so vivid that they lend power and strength to any composition. Or it could be that we all still like to tell ghost stories around the campfire and yearn for that tingle running down our spine. Whatever the reason, there are a lot of cool songs out there that have a tinge of All Hallow's Eve.<br />

What are the advantages of one draft pick over another? Which pick has proved to be the most successful? Which draft pick do I want for my team based on historical data? Is there any benefit to winning the NBA Draft Lottery? So, I started digging. I went back through each draft since 1985 (the infamous <a href="http://www.complex.com/sports/2011/03/like-a-boss-a-history-of-david-sterns-most-gully-moments/1985-nba-draft-conspiracy" target="_blank">Patrick Ewing lottery</a>) to see just how well each pick has done. <br />
<br />
Comparing draft picks is difficult. Positions are inherently different. Scoring points is different than grabbing rebounds or dropping assists. Teams have different philosophies that might not show off a certain players talents. Injuries are always a menacing specter. And of course some guys are simply more hype than talent. Later picks go to better teams and might not ever get playing time, earlier picks my be pushed too hard too early and never round out before they are discarded. There is no real good apples-to-apples comparison. So, I decided to use a unit that is somewhat arbitrary, sometimes outright wrong, but overall is a good way to see how a draft pick panned out: All-Star appearances. It ain't perfect, but it is as good a benchmark to having the NBA seal of approval as there is out there. <br />
<br />
This is all based off of past numbers, so it is in no way a prediction of how things will go in the future, but it does give us a sense of what is available and what your chances are of picking up a franchise type player. Combing through the numbers I focused on 3 main questions: What percentage of the time has pick X produced an All-Star (what are the odds of getting an All-Star)? How many All-Star appearances does pick X average (what should a team expect from their pick position)? What pick has the most bang for the buck (what pick has had the best outcome IF a team does get an All-Star with that pick)?<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
One thing is clear, far and away the best pick to have is #1. Over 27 years (actually 25 since the 2010 and 2011 draft classes have yet to produce any All-Stars) the #1 pick has produced 18 All-Stars, giving it a 67% All-Star Rate (ASR). And those 18 player have had a total of 107 All-Star Appearances (ASAs), light years ahead of the next closest pick, pick #5 with 58 ASAs. Shaq (15 ASAs) and Tim Duncan (13 ASAs) led the way for most appearances by the #1 picks.<br />
<br />
Another point that jumps out is that there is a significant drop off after the top-5. The top-5 picks have 274 ASAs while the rest of the draft total have 204 ASAs. There ore only 3 picks that come close to the top 5 in terms of ASAs, pick #9 (30), pick #13 (29), and pick #10 (23). The top-5 plus those three picks represent 74% of all ASAs in the Lottery era.<br />
<br />
That is not to say that there aren't opportunities in the latter part of the draft. Picks #18, #17, and #24 have higher ASRs (19%, 15%, and 15% respectively) than picks #8, #15, and #11 (7%, 4%, and 4% respectively). But, most "non-lottery" picks (11 of 16) have an ASR under 10%.<br />
<br />
Let's dive into the numbers. First off, what percentage of the time has pick X produced an All-Star? This is represented by the All-Star Rate (ASR), these are the top-10 picks by ASR. (In the case of a tie I put the lower pick ahead, because it proved to be a better value.)<br />
<ol>
<li>Pick #1 - 67%</li>
<li>Pick #3 - 44%</li>
<li>Pick #5 - 37%</li>
<li>Pick #4 - 37%</li>
<li>Pick #2 - 33%</li>
<li>Pick #10 - 22%</li>
<li>Pick # 9 - 22%</li>
<li>Pick #6 - 22%</li>
<li>Pick #18 - 19%</li>
<li>4 tied at 15%</li>

<br />
Next, how many ASAs does a pick average? Or, How many ASAs should a fan expect from a certain draft position? Think of this almost as potency. How strong a pick has shown to be. We get this from the total number of ASAs divided over time (27 years).<br />
<ol>
<li>Pick #1 - 3.96</li>
<li>Pick #5 - 2.15</li>
<li>Pick #3 - 1.41</li>
<li>Pick #2 - 1.33</li>
<li>Pick #4 - 1.29</li>
<li>Pick #9 - 1.11</li>
<li>Pick #13 - 1.07</li>
<li>Pick # 10 - 0.85</li>
<li>Pick #17 - 0.52</li>
<li>Pick # 7 - 0.44</li>
</ol>

<br />
Now this is a fun one. Which draft pick has the most bang for the buck? Meaning, IF my team does find that diamond in the rough, what might the longevity of our All-Star be? We get to this by dropping all the years that a pick had 0 ASAs. So while pick #13 has only produced 3 All-Stars, those players have garnered a total of 29 ASAs (thanks to Kobe, and Karl Malone going to 14 All-Star games a piece). Giving it a whopping 9.67 Appearance Per All-Star rate (A/AS). So, 24 times the #13 pick struck out, but when it has been an All-Star it tends to be a damn good one. Here are the top-10 picks according to A/AS:<br />
<ol>
<li>Pick #13 - 9.67</li>
<li>Pick #15 - 8.00</li>
<li>Pick #1 - 5.94</li>
<li>Pick #5 - 5.80</li>
<li>Pick #9 - 5.00</li>
<li>Pick #2 - 4.00</li>
<li>Pick #28 - 4.00</li>
<li>Pick # 10 - 3.83</li>
<li>Pick #14 - 3.67</li>
<li>3 tied at 3.50</li>
</ol>

<br />
So what does this all mean? Ultimately nothing, the sample is to small too have statistical relevance, and there is no way to predict where tomorrows All-Stars will be picked. But there are some take aways. The #1 pick is statistically the best place to be. And being in the top-5 significantly increases a teams chances of getting a franchise player. Also, until the streak is broken I think I would want my team to steer clear of Pick #12 (1 ASA) or Pick #8 (7 ASAs), but who knows, maybe they're due. Anyway, it is some good info to throw around at happy hour, and to keep in mind during the draft next week.ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-3124353815547477002012-06-21T18:02:00.001-07:002012-06-21T18:06:09.775-07:00NBA Draft - Draft Pick All-Star RateThis is a statistical view of how often a certain pick in the NBA Draft has produced an All-Star. Starting with the first NBA Draft Lottery in 1985, the top-30 picks (not always first round picks some have been added through expansion over the years) have been counted and divided over time (27 years). Ties were given to lower draft picks because of the value associated with picking later (i.e. later picks have a lower pay scale which is an advantage to the team's salary cap). Here is the full list by All-Star Rate (ASR):<br />

Think of it as the potency of a certain draft pick. How many APAs on average do those draft picks end up bringing to a team. So, Pick #1 with an average of 3.96 means a team picking in that position should expect (according to historical statistics) around 4 ASAs from their new draftee. This is the list according to average ASAs:<br />
<ol>
<li>Pick #1 - 107/27 = 3.96</li>

For example, in the 27 years since the Draft Lottery began the #13 pick has had 3 All-Stars. Now, two of those All-Stars are Kobe Bryant and Karl Malone, who have had 14 ASAs each. Throw in Dale Davis' 2000 ASA, and the #13 pick has 29 total ASAs. Discounting the 24 years that the #13 pick didn't result in an All-Star you get 29/3 = 9.67. So, the times that a team has in fact drafted an All-Star at the #13 pick, they got 9.67 ASAs out of them. It is sort of a nonsense stat, but it is kind of fun to think about. When debating how valuable one draft pick is over another, it is nice to know that twice a perennial All-Star and Hall-of-Famer was picked with, say, the 13th pick. We get this from dividing total number of ASAs from each pick by the total number of All-Stars. So which picks offer the best bang for the buck?<br />
<br />

First off, what does that mean? It is a wine tasting event for the wine producers of grapes grown in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA (most notably <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinot_noir" target="_blank">Pinot Noir</a>). There were 34 wineries pouring (I didn't get to all of them, but I did my best...) and nosh from 6 local restaurants and caterers. Second, what is the Yamhill-Carlton AVA? An AVA (or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Viticultural_Area" target="_blank">American Viticultural Area</a>) is a growing region for wine grapes. Depending on geology, micro climates, and elevation wines from one vineyard can be very different from the next, even if they are close in proximity. These are the distinctions, upon which the AVAs are based. So with a larger growing region (in this case the northern <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willamette_Valley_%28wine%29" target="_blank">Willamette Valley</a>) there can be several smaller, distinctive regions, and these are called AVAs (in this case the Yamhill-Carlton).<br />
<br />
The Yamhill-Carlton AVA is home to some of the most respected wineries and winemakers in the Willamette Valley. Names like Ken Wright, Lynn Penner-Ashe, and Dick Shae are legendary in the region, and have all had a hand in making Oregon wines famous, and produce some of the best Pinot Noir in the world. And trust me they all showed very well, but the pleasant surprise this day was how well the smaller, unheralded and, in some cases, brand spanking new wineries showed right next to the big boys. I had a chance to try some labels I'd never heard of, and I was quite pleased by the whole experience.<br />
<br />
I want to make this point, I am not a professional wine taster (one can always dream though, right...?). I am just a guy who enjoys drinking it, and I am lucky enough to have grown up in one of the finest wine growing regions in the world. I also want to make this point, as I have said in previous posts, everyones palate is different, so just because I liked something doesn't mean you will and vice versa. But I don't mind telling you about my experience, nor giving you my opinion. Take it for what it is worth, and above all drink what you like and don't let others tell you what you should be tasting. That being said, here is what I tasted...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>The event was held in the Anne Amie warehouse and barrel room, which, if you have never found yourself nestled between 50 gallon barrels stacked to the ceiling, is awe inspiring and in its own way beautiful. The set up was alphabetical starting from the door and working clockwise. So of course I walked in and went straight for the letter "T". No particular reason why, but the way the tables were situated it was right in front of us and there was an open station for us get started. <br />
<br />
As it turned out it was the perfect place to start because it set the tone for the whole day, and it reaffirmed one of my personal wine tasting mantras: Try New Wine! The first place we came to, was a label I had never heard of before: <a href="http://www.twelvewine.com/" target="_blank">Twelve</a>. You have to enjoy any winery whimsical enough to name itself in reference to "This is Spinal Tap". They were pouring 3 Pinot Noirs, but the stand out was the 2009 Pinot Noir 144. It was smooth, had bright berry notes, and hit the palate in a way that suggests it is going to continue to blossom over the next few years. At $35 a bottle, it wasn't the most affordable wine we came across all day, but it is firmly planted in my favorite category of wine, a good bargain.<br />
<br />
We moved along and somewhere between getting a tasting at <a href="http://www.onhisfarm.com/index.php" target="_blank">EIEIO</a> (so named because of its owner Jay McDonald) and trying the goat cheese tort and bacon-brie crostini from <a href="http://www.thehorseradish.com/" target="_blank">The Horse Radish</a> we ran into the bachelorette party of a dear friend. As you can imagine the rest of the day was little less scientific than initially intended, but it was a lot more fun. Anyway, they were coming from another part of the barrel room, and they had a recommendation for what we should try next.<br />
<br />
That was how we ended up at <a href="http://www.kenwrightcellars.com/" target="_blank">Ken Wright Cellars</a>. The girls called it right, this label is a mainstay in Oregon wine making. One of the only cellars in the region that sells futures, meaning people are willing to buy wines they have never tasted just to be sure that they get some at all. Their wines are made to encourage patience, and show better after more time in the bottle than other producers in the Valley. They were pouring the 2007 Abbott Claim Pinot Noir and the 2007 McCrone Vineyard Pinot Noir. Both were good quality, but a bit acidic and hadn't opened yet. Very good, but for $65 a bottle there were better values available.<br />
<br />
At this point I broke away from the group to visit a group of stations that included a few of my favorites and a few I had never tried. Plus they were by the carnitas being served by <a href="http://www.urbanspoon.com/r/24/1180220/restaurant/Portland/Marthas-Tacos-More-Lafayette" target="_blank">Martha's Tacos</a>, so I had to go. First stop <a href="http://www.monksgate.com/" target="_blank">Monks Gate</a>, this I found to be a real gem. The name comes from a literal gate they put in so the monks at the abbey next door could still use the short cut through the property to town, when they put up a fence to keep the deer out. So if you're keeping tabs, in wine country, monks good, deer bad. They had what is called a vertical flight, it was the 2006, 2007, and 2008 all of their Estate Vineyard (priced $29, $34, $34 respectively). The '06 was smooth, comforting and drinking very well, and the '08 had an hint of anise on the nose, and a red berry notes upon the palate. This was also a very good bargain.<br />
<br />
Next came a real treat, a winemaker unveiling their label for the first time: Oliver Cellars. It was in fact their first event, ever (so new they don't seem to have a website to link to). They do not have a tasting room, and only made about 190 cases to date, with 175 of the 2011 on its way. The wine (a 2010 Estate Pinot Noir) was young and tasted like it, but the enthusiasm and anxiety was quite charming. And for $35 a bottle well worth supporting a local upstart.<br />
<br />
Sidled next to the newbies was one of my all time favorites: <a href="http://panthercreekcellars.com/" target="_blank">Panther Creek</a>. I stop off at their tasting room in McMinnville at least once a summer. They consistently make elegant wines that show the best parts of what makes the region so special. They do not grow their own grapes so they source their fruit from other growers. They were pouring wines made from Shea and Lazy River, both of whom were also pouring at the event. They too were pouring a vertical tasting consisting of 2007 Lazy River Vineyard ($40), 2008 Shea Vineyard ($45), and 2009 Lazy River Vineyard ($40). The Shea was the pick of the crop and really quite a value based on its quality compared to some of the wines at higher price points.<br />
<br />
One label that is in that higher price point but deserves the recognition is <a href="http://www.pennerash.com/" target="_blank">Penner-Ash Wine Cellars</a>. They were only pouring their 2010 Dussin Estate, but it is a wonderful wine. With hints of Mocha and a silky feel $60 a bottle is reasonable. There were certainly better values but this bottle lives up to the price.<br />
<br />
The next tasting was from a label I had not heard of before: <a href="http://www.rootswine.com/About.html" target="_blank">Roots Wine and Vineyards</a>. They were pouring a horizontal flight: 3 wines from the 2010 vintage, their Estate, Fairsing, and Saffron Vineyards represented. Once again this was a label that does not have a tasting room so you only see them at events like this. The Estate had hints of chocolate which was very nice. The Fairsing was quite mature for a 2010 and and has a very elegant texture. But the Saffron knocked my socks of, a creamy smokiness reminiscent of a carbonara that would make Italian mothers blush. And with all 3 of them coming in at $30 a bottle it was quite a find, and probably the best value of the day.<br />
<br />
At this point it was a perfect point to fill up on some delicious house made meats from <a href="http://nicksitaliancafe.com/" target="_blank">Nick's Italian Cafe</a>. Once again, when in McMinnville, Nick's is a great place to go. At this point I have to mention how salami is a gateway meat for me. I am an absolute junky for artisan meats and it can be a slippery slope once I have a single morsel of meats that good. I don't think I will ever apologize for it, but if you get the chance to try the meat from Nick's, come join me on the dark side.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.sheawinecellars.com/" target="_blank">Shea Wine Cellars</a> was the next stop. Shea started as a grower and sources fruit for many winemakers in the Valley (like Panther Creek, Alexana, and <a href="http://boedeckercellars.com/" target="_blank">Boedecker</a>, all of which were serving at the event). And in 1996 they started producing their own wine. They don't have a tasting room but are open for seasonal events from time to time. They were pouring their 2009 Estate ($40) and their 2010 Block 7 ($56) both fine and well colored, and the Block 7 is certainly something to try if given the chance.<br />
<br />
From there we went over to the other producer used by Panther Creek in their tasting, <a href="http://www.Lazyrivervineyard.com/" target="_blank">Lazy River Vineyard</a>. They were showing 3 wines, first a 2011 Pinot Gris ($20), which was round and full bodied for a Gris. The other 2 were both Pinot Noirs, from 2008 ($36), and 2009 ($36). The '09 had notes of mexican chocolate and citrus rinds that is fantastic. The '08 on the other hand hasn't yet bloomed, it will be a year or two but it has great potential.<br />
<br />
Finally we made it over to where we were supposed to start in the first place, the letter "A". The first Winery as you enter the room is <a href="http://www.alexanawinery.com/Home" target="_blank">Alexana Estate Vineyard & Winery</a> (the link by the way has a cool explanation of the different soil types in the region). This is a beautiful blend of grapes from Shea Vineyards and the winemaking talents of Lynn Penner-Ash. This is a beautifully crafted wine, light, elegant, a well balanced. And at $75 a bottle it had better be. It is better than most of the wines at the event, but I don't believe it is two or three times better then the other wines there.<br />
<br />
Next was the host winery Anne Amie, one of the more beautiful properties in the region. The 2009 Prisme Pinot Noir Blanc has a smooth apricot and pear flavor along with a $45 price point. The 2009 Pinot Noir Estate ($50) has a vibrant garnet color and a refined delicacy.<br />
<br />
The final stop on this extended tour was at <a href="http://www.atticuswine.com/home.html" target="_blank">Atticus Cellars</a>. Another little gem that doesn't have a tasting room, a reasonable price point ($42) and a really tasty product in their 2009 Pinot Noir. They only make about 480 cases annually so it might be hard to find, but if you do see it, it is certainly worth a try.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was a wonderful day showcasing a very special strip of land tucked away in the northwest corner of Oregon. There was a consistency shown by the big names of the area that is incredibly difficult to maintain, but the real winner this day was the smaller houses with less recognizable names and few public appearances. It all comes back to my personal mantra: Try More Wine! If you have a chance and you have never had some of these labels, try them. If none of them are available, try something else. You will never understand what you like unless you learn your own palate, and learning you palate takes vigilance, practice, and good ol' trial and error. Wine tasting is not that daunting, and most of the names above will provide you a terrific launch point.<br />

I have a bit of a tradition of making a dish based on or inspired by each of the best picture nominees. Coming up with 5-10 dishes every year is actually harder than it sounds. Some years your are blessed with movies like The Kings Speech (The King's Peach Cobbler) or The Blind Side (Blind Sliders) and the dishes basically make themselves. But some years there are difficult films like The Reader (I made "fReaders" a play on potato fritters) or The Fighter (We finally came up with Punch, which was actually a real hit). What I would have done for ideas from some post on-line to at least give me a hint of an inkling of what to do. So, here is my post for those looking for menu items for this years nominees (I like to call them "Nom-Noms". The dishes, not the movies). <br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Hugo: Bugo's - choose your favorite party mix recipe, but sub in Bugles and Cheerios (preferably Honey Nut) for other more traditional constituents. This is similar to a mix called "Nuts and Bolts". <br />
<br />
The Help: Helpings - Stuffing muffins. When I hear the word "helping" I think of stuffing for some reason. Rachael Ray made these <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/rachael-ray/apple-and-onion-stuffin-muffins-recipe/index.html">muffins</a> famous, and they just see to fit.<br />
<br />
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: Classic <a href="http://cocktails.about.com/od/atozcocktailrecipes/r/mnhtn_cktl.htm">Manhattan</a>. This was a tough one to come up with, especially with a film about such a delicate subject. The Manhattan is simple, classic, elegant, and fills this role nicely.<br />
<br />
Moneyball: Moneyballs - Meatballs in pesto/alfredo sauce. I love mixing pesto and alfredo, and I usually put it that delectable combo in my lasagna. And it was the first thing I thought of when contemplating "Moneyball". These are going to be in the slowcooker so you can cheat a little bit. Making it them from scratch is admirable, but frozen meatballs and sauce from a jar will do just fine.<br />
<br />
Midnight in Paris: Winglets in Paris - Coq Au Vin style Baked Chicken Wings. A marriage of classic french cooking with party friendly apps. Marinade chicken wings in a delicious bacon, onion and wine blend. Bake and serve with a french cheese and herb dipping sauce.<br />
<br />
The Artist: The Sandwich Artist - This is a little bit of a cop out, because it is not actually made at home. But it is just too whimsical to pass up (much like to movie). Simply get a 6 foot sandwich from the Sandwich Artist at your local Subway. It is a fun play on words, plus the party sub is a tried and true staple of gatherings everywhere.<br />
<br />
The Tree of Life: The Tray of Life - What would a party be without delicious meats and cheeses? One answer is "Vegan", another is "boring". So get your favorite antipasti, make it elaborate, and tasty. This is always a favorite.<br />
<br />
The Descendants: Descending Decadence - Pineapple Up-Side Down Cake. This takes a second to understand, but makes total sense. First off the movie is set in Hawaii, so the pineapple is a <a href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=natch">natch</a>. But, also the word "Descend" and the concept of up-side down go hand in hand too. There are tons of recipes out there for this classic dish.<br />
<br />
War Horse: War Horseradish Potato Skins - Basically exactly what it sounds like. Make potato skins with the works, but be sure to add plenty of horseradish to the sour cream.<br />
<br />
That makes up our menu. Let me know what you think of these, or if they inspired some other dishes you came up with. Have fun with it and "Break a Leg".ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-81467167556952355452012-02-18T20:29:00.000-08:002012-02-19T00:36:21.674-08:00Francophilia and Self Love Alive and Well in Hollywood - A Look at the Years Oscar NomineesWith the Oscars a mere week away, it is time to look at the nominees for Best Picture. And as we look over the field there is a real continental feel to the movies nominated. As in North America and Europe. Save for The Descendants which is based in Hawaii (which, as we know, is in fact a US state) every story comes from one or the other. Some might argue <a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/thetreeoflife/">The Tree of Life</a> is actually based in someone's dream, but they speak English enough to guess it is set in America.<br />
<br />
This seems to point to the state of movie making in general. With the economy still in its recovery, ever increasing ticket prices, and quality content being provided on any number of platforms, people need a good reason to go to the movies. To attract the public you need to have ingenuity, intrigue, and interest. The best way to do that is to go with what you know, return to your base (a lesson most often learned in politics, it is an election year after all). This year there are no tales from exotic far off lands, strange alternate universes, or alien planets. This years crop are based in well known familiar settings. That is not to say that there are not elements of the fantastic.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
On this side of the pond we are graced with stories from the deep south (<a href="http://thehelpmovie.com/us/">The Help</a>), Baseball (<a href="http://www.moneyball-movie.com/site/">Moneyball</a>, what is more American than that?), and the patriotic emotional powder keg of 9/11 (<a href="http://extremelyloudandincrediblyclose.warnerbros.com/index.html#/home">Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close</a>). Two of which I have not seen, one out of disinterest, and another because it hits a little too close to home. But I liked the baseball movie, though I don't think it holds up against some of the other movies nominated this year. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/thedescendants/">The Descendants</a>, is technically an American film, though set in the distant beauty of Hawaii, it could take place in Anytown, USA. Much like the family the story is about, it has roots in Hawaii, but it is as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haole">Haole</a> as they come. The decision between keeping thousands of acres of pristine Hawaiian real estate or selling out for millions and millions of dollars fall firmly in the category of "<a href="http://whitepeopleproblems.us/">White People's Problems</a>". It deals with some real eyebrow raising family issues, and has some wonderful performances, but this type of story is common, bordering on mundane. It really is a very good movie, and it has a lot of buzz, but I think there are better films up for the award.<br />
<br />
Three of the nominees are based, at least in part, in France. <a href="http://www.warhorsemovie.com/">War Horse</a> is a World War I epic following the valiant service of a horse from Britain to Germany. Unfortunately, Steven Spielberg's name doesn't hold the same weight it used to, mostly due to the many projects that he has been attached to of late that haven't been as interesting and groundbreaking as his earlier work. So, I have yet to see this one too, but it's next up on the list. It does follow a common theme of this years film though...<br />
<br />
There are no French People in France. Or at least they are a minority. Just think about it, even their horses are British. If we are to believe either Midnight in Paris or Hugo, Paris is infested with non-native, English speaking, writers, orphans, tourists, toy store owners, artists, librarians, flower girls, flappers, security guards, and musicians. But if you can get past that minor logical flaw, these are two wonderful films.<br />
<br />
I don't know what I was expecting from Woody Allen's <a href="http://www.sonyclassics.com/midnightinparis/">Midnight in Paris</a>, but anytime something is dubbed a "Romantic Comedy" I start to cringe. Mostly because the genre is so filled with drivel, and has become so formulaic that it just isn't worth the time. This movie breaks that trend, so much so I think it is misclassified. Sure it deals with romance, and it is a comedy, and there isn't a better category for it to fall. But don't shy away like I typically would. This is such a fun story of a young man time traveling back to revel with some of the greatest characters in Parisian history (few of them actually French mind you). He rubs elbows with Hemingway, F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, Cole Porter, Josephine Baker, Pablo Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Salvadore Dali, and on and on. And Owen Wilson may be the only actor to ever deliver Woody Allen's dialogue better than Woody can himself. Of all the nominees this is the one I would venture to guess I will see the most. It will be hard to pass up on cable when I'm just flipping around. Alas, I do not think that means it will be earning a little gold statue.<br />
<br />
I do know exactly what I was expecting when I went in to <a href="http://www.hugomovie.com/#home">Hugo</a>: a 3D cartoon children's story. I was partly right, it was in 3D. It is not a cartoon, but the vivid 3D overlay and lush copper and gold hues give it a uniformity rarely matched in live action film. And while it is a movie aimed at children, it is not only a children's movie. The story of a young orphan maintaining the clocks at the Paris train station after his father is killed in an accident, twists and turns, and is hard not to enjoy no matter the age of the viewer. Martin Scorsese does a wonderful job taking film into a new era, while celebrating its past. One of the most technologically advanced movies ever, yet it hearkens back to the birth of cinema and pays homage to the generations that lead the way. It is so advanced that the 3D almost becomes an additional character to the story, while at its core it is a tip of the hat to old Hollywood. It is a passing of the torch of sorts, taking the best of the old, and applying new techniques to create a captivating film that should be seen by one and all. This is a fun movie, and should be seen in 3D, but (of the 6 nominees I HAVE seen) it is hard for me to say that it deserves an Oscar. But it does have something in common with the movie that I think will take home the award...<br />
<br />
Hollywood Celebrating Hollywood!!! (Remember: when in trouble, go back to what you know best.) Where Hugo is reverential of old Hollywood, and shows off how advanced we have become, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Artist_(film)">The Artist</a> wallows in old Hollywood. Taking regression literally to an art form. Who would have guessed that a silent movie would have been the most entertaining two hours at the theater this year? Sure, there is no dialogue. And it's in black and white. And we don't know the main actors. And yes, it is a "Romantic Comedy". But this movie is just damn good and a lot of fun. It is refreshing in our ADD, fast food, on demand, give it to me now, bigger, brighter, louder, culture that someone went the complete other direction with it. Ironically the lead actor Jean Dujardin was told he would never make it in the pictures because his face is too expressive, which is a necessity in silent film. Double Ironically he's a Frenchman with a film set in Hollywood while the rest of Hollywood is pretending to be French.<br />
<br />
I would loath to call the group of nominees weak, because there are some really fun movies here, and on the whole I think it is quite solid. Maybe a more complete class than in years past. Whichever wins this year I fear will be accused of being an also-ran in previous races. There are no slam dunk winners on this list. While The Artist might not be groundbreaking, it is ballsy and deserving. It was certainly a reason to go to the theater. Intriguing, interesting, and most of all it reminds us why we started going to the movies in the first place.ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-89862016889808834482012-02-14T16:37:00.000-08:002012-02-14T16:39:46.614-08:002012 Consumer Electronics Show - The GadgetsAll right guys, here is the one you have been waiting for: what was the coolest stuff at the 2012 CES?

As I noted in an earlier post, the lines between different technologies are blurring. Computer monitors are now nearly as clear as televisions. Televisions now have wireless and portable capabilities. Your phone or tablet can act as a remote for any component in the house including turning lights or heating on and off, or even start you car. Basically what is happening is users are demanding access to data and performance, and there is a race to provide it. Which means there are legions of people creating technologies, platforms, and apps all tailor made to give the public the easiest and most streamlined answer for any and every issue we have. Becoming the leader in any little niche is going to be big business. That means there are many options for users, and it also means many solution providers are not going to make it. The competition is ongoing, and we will see what ends up being the standard in the future. But for now, lets enjoy the ride, and revel in the innovation.</div>

TVs - One thing that stood out is the push for 3D TVs. Every major TV maker had some new hi-def 3D model they were rolling out. I think this is for a couple reasons: 1) there is more, new, and better 3D content than there has ever been, and 2) the pressure being put on TV makers by computer monitor makers and the cost advantage of streaming instead of paying for cable or satellite. If I had to pick one that stood out from the rest I would say the Sony 3D Dynamic Peak LED, but there were several high quality competitors, and they all seemed very good.</div>

iPad - If there was one seed that had grown the most branches it would have to be the tablet, more specifically the iPad. There were aisles and rows of iPad related items. Backpacks designed specifically to hold tablets, external key boards and mouses (or is it mice?), and covers of all shapes and sizes. There are thousands of products specifically invented and created to make your relationship with your Apple components stronger, easier, and optimized. Realize, Apple doesn't even present at the CES. Nonetheless, the iPad accessory market is booming. But here are a couple that help with the tactile performance, one is a touch screen friendly glove so you don't have to take it off to use your touch screen called <a href="http://www.agloves.com/">Agloves</a>, and the other is a set of thumb controllers to aid in ease of use called the <a href="http://www.logitech.com/en-us/tablet-accessories/for-ipad/devices/joystick-ipad">Logitech Joystick</a>. </div>

Take for instance the textile industry. I guess when I think of textiles being made I assume it comes from 3 sources: 1) large factories pressing out carbon copies of "today's fashion", 2) economical yet morally questionable sweat shops, and 3) our knitting aunts and grandmothers of the world. And while those assumptions may be true to a point, I had never given thought to what innovations might be made. Well someone has given it some thought, otherwise computerized sewing machines would never have been invented. That's right, fill up the spools, lay down some fabric, program in whatever image or pattern that you want on a touch screen interface, and let 'er rip, eh... sew, the opposite of rip. </div>

 Is your office not comfortable enough? Are you not getting the productivity you would like when you are lounging in your Lay-Z Boy? Wouldn't it be great if you never had to move from a single spot ever, at all, for any reason? Well, before you throw out your toilet and gym membership, that is probably never going to happen. But, this thing is about as close as we can get. It is the <a href="http://www.mwelab.com/emperor-1510/overview">Emperor 1510</a> by MWE. It is a total command center and recliner in one. Using it's novel "Scorpion" shape, it allows for total connectivity and relaxation at the same time. With up to three 24" monitors it will keep you in touch even when you're slacking. I don't think I need one of these, but it would sure be fun, even though it is named after the head honcho of the dark side.</div>

Now let's say that you do have to get up and go somewhere. What? Are you just gonna get up and walk like some sucker? What if your boss won't give you that parking space you've had your eye on, and earned several times over? What if you are having trouble latching the bike chain to your segway? Well, check out the <a href="http://solowheel.com/">Solowheel</a>. It is a gyro-balance, rechargeable, electric unicycle. You heard me. Is it silly? Yes. Is it safe? Mostly, we think. But what it is for certain is an innovative way of solving transportation issues. And you can store it under your desk, or in a closet once you get where you are are going. Seriously though check the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuaNFNgi5z0">video</a> (some of you other PDXers might recognise some of the background). I'm not sure if these things are going to be seen on every corner, but you have to tip your hat to the inventor and designer for ingenuity and giving some thought to solving several major problems.</div>

One major flaw of the Solowheel, and the Segway, and scooters, and all sorts of other personal movers: No Tailgate. If there is no tailgate, there is not tailgater. And if there is no tailgater the is no reason to have a "<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2011/08/30/dish-networks-tailgater-brings-you-portable-satellite-tv-wont/">Tailgater</a>", the new portable satellite dish from Dish Network. It wasn't so long ago that fans of every team would huddle around in a crowded parking lot, consuming fire roasted meats and frosty fermented beverages just wishing that they knew the score of some game that they weren't attending. The only thing better than being at a tailgater, is being at a tailgater and watching your rival that you won't play till the last game of the year lose to someone else in the mean time. And now you can get HD quality content for a reasonable $350 (I'm assuming there is also subscription required). Break out the brews and brats, and get me an extra ticket, because this guy is coming with me.  </div>

All that being said, my favorite gadget the I saw by far (and shame on me for not getting a picture or footage of it) is the multitouch table. These things have been around for a couple years, but they are super cool, and super futuristic. You can take a look at a video of what I'm talking about <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YPVeHYfrb0">here</a>. I look at an innovation like this, and mind goes wild. I hope that some time in the near future I can walk into a restaurant and order through the table, and pay by just laying my card down. Or walk in to a meeting and pass out copies of a document by the swipe of a finger. Or have all contact information shared by simply laying my business card on the desk. Obviously cost is going to be the major factor in adoption, and then the software and apps designed for these machines will have a huge effect. But I think if we are going to have tables in the future these are the kind of tables we will have.</div>

Overall the CES was a pretty fascinating experience. There are new and different ideas coming all the time. And there are going to be substantial changes to our world through brilliant advancements. As I said on my first CES post, technology is amazing, I hope to return and see what the future holds.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
One of the more surprising aspects of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the number of automobiles that are on display. A car is a machine, that needs oil and fuel, and drives in the snow and rain. Cars are not like computers or TVs right? Well, actually it is all of the above. Just ask the thankful parents that never hear "Are we there yet?" from their children happily viewing their favorite programs on seat mounted TVs in the back seat. The amount of technology and programing that goes in to modern vehicles is staggering and extremely complex. They truly are computers on wheels. And in fact unveiling new technologies within an automobile is a great way to garner attention at the CES.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
There are a few trends in cars right now. Voice recognition and activation, and <a href="http://mashable.com/2012/01/11/pioneer-ar-heads-up-display/">heads up displays</a> are going to be a part the driving experience in the years to come. These will allow you to make phone calls, listen and reply to emails and texts, and see all functionality of the vehicle all while keeping your eyes on the road. There are various services and devices that will allow you to do this currently, but these advancements are begining to be baked into new models and concept vehicles, so in the future they will most likely come standard.<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Another major trend is toward hybrids and electric vehicles. These technologies have been coming very slowly and ploddingly out of the major auto manufacturers, but there is no denying that they see the interest in it from the marketplace. It seems as if they are dragging thier feet rolling this technologies out, but there are still many issues that need to be ironed out before electric vehicles will be completely viable. Mostly storage issues with battery size, and also range between charges. One real cool advancement at the CES was <a href="http://www.hardwarezone.com/tech-news-qualcomm-demos-wireless-electric-vehicle-charging">wireless vehicle charging</a>. Think if those wireless charging pads for your cell phone or ipod, but laying on your garage floor to fill up your electric car. No more need to physically plug your car in over night. This kind of innovation will help with public perception and adoption.</div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
In the years to come the connection between the home and the car is going to grow stronger and stronger. Your home and automobile will quite litereally communicate with each other, possibly to open the garage door as you come home, turn on your lights, or remind you to buy milk on the way home when your fridge is empty. At some point, many believe that as battery storage capacity improves, the automobile will power the home. The drivers seat of your car will become a home office of sorts, increasing productivity and connectivity, whether we like it or not. Some of the sanctuary of going for a long drive in the country might be lost, but that might be a tradeoff most of us are willing to make.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">

Any way you cut it, new cars are exhibiting and in some ways providing innovations. And there were several on display throughout the CES. Here are a few that I found interesting, or thought looked to coolest...<br />

Earlier this month I was given the opportunity to go to the International Consumer Electronic Show (CES for short) in Las Vegas. For those of you who are not familiar, the CES is the show where most of the big name brands roll out their new technologies and updated models of their product suites. It is the show where you can glimpse into next generation technologies and find trends in mainstream consumer products. It is the show where everything from $10 headphones to $10,000 personal home servers are on display for all to see. It is quite simply THE Show. <br />
<br />
It is the largest convention of the year in Vegas. There are nearly 2500 companies presenting, over 15 miles of booths and aisle ways, in 5 huge convention halls. It over runs the entire Las Vegas convention center and spills over in to The Venitian and The Las Vegas Hilton. Throughout the whole town surly yet appreciative cabbies line up by what seems like the hundreds just to move the 159,000 industry affiliated attendees from place to place. Maybe next year they will invent teleportation, but as it stands now it is a huge mangled mess of droves, flocks, and gaggles of people. All bustling about to see "the next big thing". <br />
<br />
The difficulties associated with attempting to take it all in are fairly obvious. There is simply too much to see in 4 days. And I am sure there are some fascinating stuff that I just wandered by in a mid-afternoon daze of over-stimulation and malnourishment. But I will do my best to cover some of the highlights and give you a few thoughts. First off, some mechanical issues, the CES is simply too large to cover in one blog post, so I am going to cut it up in to a couple different bite sized entries. Second, I am not an industry technician, so I don't have all the specs, requirements, and analysis of "This" vs "That". What I do have is a four day experience seeing myriad competing technologies and thoughts and observations of what I saw. So, without further ado... Let's get to it!<br />

<b>2012 CES General Thoughts</b><br />
<br />
As I was preparing to go to the CES I was warned by others who had gone in past years that it is big, and it is crowded. "Check, big and crowded, got it!" They would give me a knowing glance and repeat themselves. Big and crowded. So I was totally prepared for big and crowded. I've been to big events before, and I am no stranger to crowds. I've got this covered no problem. <br />

</tbody></table>
The words "big" and "crowded" are woefully under-descriptive when discussing the CES. The CES is so big it makes the Las Vegas Convention Center seem small and inadequate. The LVCC encompasses 3.2 million square feet. And the CES makes it look small. In fact it doesn't completely fit there. After my first day of walking nearly 5 miles, I made the executive decision to can the loafers, and go with tennis shoes the rest of the week (fyi- sport coat, collared shirt, slacks or jeans and tennis shoes is a popular look at the CES, it almost felt like a uniform).<br />
<br />
This brings me to my initial thought: The CES is Big. This was its largest show to date. There were over 159,000 people in attendance. Understand, the CES is not open to the public. Everyone there, in one way or another, is related to the consumer electronics industry. Presenters, manufacturers, buyers, sellers, industry analysts, media, sponsors, financiers, and even bloggers all interacting and creating this complex fabric of relationships, commerce and industry which seemed entirely designed to step on my feet. <br />
<br />
Which brings me to my second thought: Nerds Can Be Very Rude. As I mentioned, it was crowded. Not cattle car crowded, not Japanese subway crowded, there was plenty of elbow room and entire aisles of nothing but open space, but often there were crowds and crowds of people. You know, crowded. And several times within these crowds there was bumping and foot-stepping. Most of which is understandable, but at least give me a look as if you are pretending you are sorry. Just act like you noticed that you almost knocked me into the $12,000 3D television, please. Another popular move, that must have been taught at some seminar that I missed because there were many people doing it, was what I started to call the "Usurper" also known as "Better Door Then a Window". This is a special move where, if I am reading something or looking at a particular item you come stand right in front of me and start reading the same thing. Just pretend I hadn't been there for some time before, and simply take my spot. It was a very popular move.<br />
<br />
But really who can blame them. Every few feet was the promise groundbreaking do-dads, and life changing gizmos. I have to admit, it was easy to get caught up in all of the hoopla, And I might have nudged a few that I didn't notice. So I don't begrudge my follow dorks, but in the future some semblance of apology would be nice. I am sorry to anyone I might have bumped or stepped on, I will do better to notice next time I am at CES.<br />
<br />
Like I said, it was crowded.<br />
<br />

Other than it being big and crowded, my main thought was this: Technology is Amazing. The CES is mostly a hardware show, there is quite a bit of programming that goes into the operation and function of these new technologies to be sure, but it is mainly a hardware show. With the advent of Apps, software has largely surpassed hardware in terms of popular recognition and day to day effect on a persons life. Smart phones and tablets are platforms for so many functions that used to require individual machines. I personally use my phone as an alarm clock, watch, and camera, all of which used to be their own separate component. And my phone also connects to the Internet, sends and receives emails and texts, links to social networks, manages my schedule, allows me to play games, and oh yeah, lets me make phone calls, all wirelessly. And that's all before I pick up the iPad... we'll be here a while if I listed everything that thing is capable of. So you need these components to gain access to all of the wonderful things that Apps allow us to do. Hardware is still where everything starts.<br />
<br />
I will get more into the gadgetry and advancements I saw in a later post. But one major theme I noticed was that everything is blending together. The lines are blurring as functionality of every device increases. Streaming content on a computer monitor is in many ways more economical and easier to navigate. So, monitors are now coming out that look much more like the new flat screen TVs and nearly the size. In response the TV manufacturers are pushing 3D TVs, and are quick to note that the pixilization of a computer will never be able to compete with the clarity of today's TVs. And so goes the perpetual dance of "Why I'm Better". <br />
<br />
In the not to distant future you will be using your tablet as a remote, not only for your TV and audio visual components, but for your computer, appliances, household equipment like lighting and heating, and even your car. It is hard to say exactly what platform we are trending toward. That will all depend on adoption, public perception, cost and pricing, innovation, ease of use, distribution channels, and so on. But this is the way we are headed. <br />
<br />
Only a decade ago I used to marvel at the idea of pausing live TV broadcasts. Now I rarely even watch live TV, nearly everything is a digital recording or being streamed in one fashion or another. I don't watch less TV, I just watch it more efficiently when it fits my schedule. Everything is getting streamlined like that. And it is hard to know what is the next best thing, or even what is the current best thing, but we are just at the tip of the iceberg. Technology certainly is amazing, and it is doubling and redoubling at mind-bending speed.<br />
<br />
I hope I get to go to next years CES, deal with the crowds and the miles of booths, so I can see the difference a year can make. As Ferris Bueller said "Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around every once in a while, you could miss it."<br />

</tbody></table>
 Each year The Girlfriend and her friends have a Chili Cook Off. This year I was lucky enough to be invited to enter a chili. And guess what? That's right! The Polymouth's very own "White Lightning" won the 2011 Chili Cook Off!!! Woo-hoo! And along with it there is a killer trophy, which now will, as is customary, receive an addition of some sort before being put on the line again next fall. There were 11 entries in all, and some very creative competition. We had meaty chilies con carne, luscious vegetarian chilies, firery super spicy chilies, other wonderful white chilies, and another top contender was the delicious and exotic pumpkin chili. <br />
<br />
I've never really entered a cooking competition, even one as relaxed and friendly as this, so there were some butterflies and excitement that came along with entering. Our entry was quite tasty, but it certainly wasn't easy. Not that it was difficult, it just had several steps, and took most of the day to make. As usual I had a general recipe in mind, but I was cooking "<a href="http://polymouth.blogspot.com/search/label/Iron-Style">Iron-Style</a>" and kept tweaking and adding ingredients up till the final moments before we left for the party. There is no way to know exactly what the final recipe ended up being, but I will do my best to explain the process and steps that went into this tasty dish.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
The real technique here is building flavor. And the best way to do that is to create separate components that compliment each other and then blend them to allow the flavors to build on each other. More on the development of the components later. But what were the major flavors?<br />
<br />
White Lightning was a white chili that comprised mostly of: Chicken, White Beans, Serrano Chilies, Sour Cream, Cilantro, and Lime. As you would expect it had a very Mexican taste to it, so there was liberal use of common Mexican spices like Cumin and Dried Oregano. And it was topped with Pepper Jack Cheese, and a Lime-Rock Salt crumble.<br />
<br />
There were 4 separate elements that came together:<br />
1) The Base- Beans and Broth<br />
2) The Body- Sauteed Chicken and Gravy<br />
3) Flavor Elements- Sauteed Onions and Peppers, Herbs and Spices, Sour Cream<br />
4) Toppers- Shredded Pepper Jack, Cilantro, and Lime-Rock Salt <br />
<br />
Lets go through these one by one. Remember to season with a little salt and pepper as you go through each step.<br />
<br />
First, The Base- Real easy, put 2 cans of white beans (I like to use cannellini beans for this), and a container of chicken broth in a slow cooker. Just set it to low heat and set it aside.<br />
<br />
Next, The Body- Saute 2 lbs of bite size (1/2 to 1 inch cubes) boneless skinless chicken breast in a couple Tbsps. of olive oil. You don't need to cook it all the way through, as it will finish cooking in the chili, but you do want a good sear to develop flavors. Once the chicken is browned, we want to build a gravy, meaning we need a roux. <br />
<br />
A roux is basically equal parts fat and starch, and acts as a thickener in sauces, soups, and gravies. Add more olive oil, incorporate a like amount of flour. I like to use <a href="http://www.bettycrocker.com/products/gold-medal-flour/products/wondra-flour">Wondra</a> for this, it is a type of flour specifically designed for thickening. The flour and oil should develop into a bit of a paste. (remember this is going to be thickening the entire batch of Chili so make a good amount of the roux.) <br />
<br />
Once the roux has developed, we are going to deglaze the pan, which just means that we will add liquid to get all of the tasty bits of chicken that stuck to the pan off, and incorporated in to the gravy. You can do this with water, that's ok. You can do this with chicken broth, that will add great flavor. But for this, and most gravies that I make, I use wine (about 1/4-1/2 cup). In this case a delicious Oregon Chardonnay from <a href="http://yamhill.com/">Yamhill Valley Vineyards</a> (keeping with the "white" theme). Wine simply adds depth and complexity to flavor that is unmatched. Use it when you have a chance. I think this little secret is what pushed White Lightning over the top against such strong competition.<br />
<br />
This is your chicken and gravy, you might be tempted to stop right here and just eat this alone (if you do so, I won't tell anyone, but make sure the chicken is cooked all the way through). At this point I added about a cup of fresh chopped cilantro and green onion, and the zest and juice of a medium sized lime to the gravy, but you can add it directly to the slow cooker in the next step...<br />
<br />
Third, Flavor Elements- Ok, beans, broth, and chicken breast can be real tasty, but we are a long way from having an award winning chili. We need to add some layers of flavor. This entails many ingredients, but don't be intimidated or discouraged, if you don't have something or you just don't like the flavor of something just go with out it. We have a good base, and you can make your chili how ever you want it. But here is what I did next,<br />
<br />
Sweat in olive oil 4-6 cloves of garlic (diced), 2 medium sized onions (chopped 1/2 inch), and 4 Serrano chilies (diced). Add salt to help extract moisture. A splash of wine here as well will help the flavors grow. Let the veggies caramelize and reduce.<br />
<br />
While you are waiting for the veggies to soften it is a good time to employ the power of herbs and spices. There are countless directions and ratios that you can go with from here. So, flavor how you like, but these are estimates of what we ended up putting in the White Lightning: A tsp each Cumin, Dried Oregano, Chili Powder, 1/2 tsp hot sauce (we used <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valentina_(sauce)">Valentina's</a>, but what ever you have in the cabinet will work), and if you didn't include the cilantro, green onion, and lime in the gravy add them now.<br />
<br />
There are also a couple ancillary ingredients that help the dish pop. Add about a handful of crushed tortilla chips (we actually used a coffee grinder to powder them), and a handful of shredded pepper jack cheese. <br />
<br />
Let all of those flavors meld and blend together, and add the veggies once they have softened and caramelized.<br />
<br />
This should be pretty tasty and flavorful, but we aren't quite done. If you look at it right now it will probably have a brownish color with some green from the herbs and peppers. It certainly isn't a "white" chili. Now is when we add the sour cream. This too is a matter of taste, but I tend to think it is better to go too far than not far enough. So get the big tub of sour cream when at the grocery store. We are going to use scoops and not dollops. Throw in a couple big scoops and see what happens as you mix each one in. It should lighten with each additional scoop. Flavor is the most important part, so taste as you go along. Add chicken broth if moisture is needed. Once you have a light creamy color, and it tastes good, walk away and let the slow cooker do its magic. <br />
<br />
We found that after a couple hours of slow cooking our chili was irreverently spicy, and while we both enjoy a little kick it was probably going to be too spicy for most people. We got creative at this point and needed to cut the heat back. We added a little <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masa">Masa Flour</a> (the flour that tortillas are made from, but any flour should help cut the spice), Brown Sugar, and Honey. While these aren't strictly a part of the recipe, they worked and added a subtle touch that was very nice. This dish might not need them next time I make it, but they worked like a charm.<br />
<br />
Finally, Toppers- While you're waiting for the slow cooker, make the lime-rock salt. This is a very simple yet elegant addition. Take about 2-3 tbsps or rock salt, and add the zest and juice of a small lime, simply mix together and let sit. This is pretty powerful stuff so don't let anyone put too much on top, but a pinch adds a nice little crunch when added at the last moment. Also have some shredded pepper jack cheese to melt over the top, and a couple leaves of chopped cilantro upon serving. For service, ladle the chili, add the cheese, cilantro, and top with the rock salt.<br />
<br />
It was an all day project, but it was very good. And we were lucky enough to beat out some other mind-bendingly delicious chilies. I can't wait for next year. At least I have some time to figure out what to add to the trophy...<br />

Arrested Development, AKA the funniest sit-com of all time, is returning for a truncated 4th season to set up the long awaited feature film. They are expecting a 10 episode mini-season catching fans up on "The Lost Years" since the premature cancelation of the cult classic. This is all hearsay and rumor, but here are some links to some sites that seem pretty certain, including some tweets from the cast confirming reports.<br />

But think of it like how Star Wars started with Volume 4 (Episode IV: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Episode_IV:_A_New_Hope">A New Hope</a>). This particular mix is just fun to talk about, so we're starting here.<br />
<br />
A few years back I started putting together mixes for my nephew that included some of my favorite tunes from Hip-Hop's "Golden Age" (generally considered the early-to-mid 90's, after "Old School" but before every record label had to have a Hip-Hop act and sort of ruined the spirit of the genre). This became a larger task than I initially thought. It grew from a couple mixes into a multi-disc anthology. There are some well known classics, but there are a bunch of hidden gems that are hard to even find anymore. With that said, here is the first installment of Uncle E's Hip-Hop Anthology:<br />
<br />
Volume 7: Pass Tha Mic<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">(*many of these songs contain mature content)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /> </span>One of the best part of Golden Age Hip-Hop was the group dynamic. Rap was started be guys free-styling (rhyming off the top of the head) street poetry in a group on the corner. The Group made the music, you could not parse the music from The Group. In fact The Group was rapping on the corner before anyone decided to put music to it. Later growing to block parties and individual MCs trying to excite the crowd, while the DJ was the actual show. So, before there were solo MCs, The Group was more than just vital, it was in fact the definition of Rap. Guys taking turns at impressing and one-upping each other is the heart and soul of Rap. This mix revels in the act of passing the mic (pronounced "mike", short for microphone). The art of taking one's turn and then letting the next guy go. <br />
<br />
Making songs with multiple MCs had some major advantages. Each rapper had less content to write based on the fact that they only had a few moments to fill. And it was a great way for an artist to be exposed to new audiences (think of how Tupac spun out of Digital Underground, and Snoop Dogg gained prominence on Dr. Dre's album The Chronic after only being on a few tracks). But above all, whether it was one of the outstanding groups of the era, or a collection of solo MCs coming together, passing the mic was just cool. And this mix has a bunch of my favorites...<br />
<ol>
<li><strong>Straight Outta Compton</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N.W.A">N.W.A.</a>- An iconic drop from the most influential rap group of all time.</li>
<li><strong>Don't Curse</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heavy_D">Heavy D. & The Boyz</a> (Feat. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kool_G_Rap">Kool G Rap</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Puba">Grand Puba</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pete_Rock_%26_CL_Smooth">Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Daddy_Kane">Big Daddy Kane</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-Tip_(rapper)">Q-Tip</a>) - This song is a little corny, but has a good spin against censorship, and a collection of old school greats.</li>
<li><strong>Uni-4-Orm</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhyme_%26_Reason_(soundtrack)">Rhyme & Reason Soundtrack</a>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ras_Kass">Ras Kass</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heltah_Skeltah">Heltah Skeltah</a>, & <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canibus">Canibus</a> - Rhyme & Reason had an outstanding soundtrack with head-bobbin' beats from many lesser-known acts. This one in particular shows how deep hip-hop was at that time.</li>
<li><strong>Live Or Die</strong>- <a href="http://naughtybynature.com/">Naughty By Nature</a> (Feat. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_p">Master P</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystikal">Mystikal</a>, Phiness, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkk_the_Shocker">Silkk the Shocker</a>) - This is an awesome compilation of one of the best and most under-rated groups of all time and the then reigning champs of hip-hop Master P and his No Limit soldiers.</li>
<li><strong>Bring It On</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geto_Boys">The Geto Boys</a> (Feat. <a href="http://www.myspace.com/2lowstreetboss">2Low</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seagram_(rapper)">Seagram</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/nickelnutghetto">Too Much Trouble</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_Ward_Boyz">5th Ward Boyz</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_Squad">Odd Squad</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganksta_N-I-P">Gangsta NIP</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMG_%28rapper%29">DMG</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-2">3-2</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mello">Big Mello</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarface_(rapper)">Scarface</a>) - Absolutely infectious. Due to its length (over 8 minutes) it allows the listener time to embrace the beat. Many people who were not initially impressed by it at first ask to hear it again by its conclusion.</li>
<li><strong>93 'Til Infinity</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Souls_of_Mischief">Souls of Mischief</a> - One of the best one hit wonder tunes of the golden age. And they are right, it is still chill...</li>
<li><strong>Ya'll N*ggas Ain't Ready</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Def_Squad">Def Squad</a> - A wonderful example of when a super group comes together at the right time and place. With Redman, Erick Sermon, and Keith Murray, Def Squad is a landmark in mic passing.</li>
<li><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bangin%27_on_Wax"><strong>Banging On Wax</strong></a>- Bloods & Crips - This was an album released as a part of the truce reached by Bloods and Crips after the Los Angeles roits. It's not exactly a love fest, but it's better than bangin' on the streets. And this title track is a real cool tune.</li>
<li><strong>Real Muthaphukkin G's</strong>- <a href="http://www.eazy-e.com/">Eazy-E</a> (Feat. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dresta">Dresta</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B.G._Knocc_Out">BG Knocc Out</a>) - This song is a response to the disrespect sent Eazy-E's way by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on The Chronic album. Like much of the Hip-Hop from that era, it is filled with acrimony and violent threats, it is also very clever and well made. </li>
<li><strong>Pack The Pipe</strong>- <a href="http://www.thepharcyde.com/">The Pharcyde</a> - An often over-looked tune from the one of the best alternative hip-hop albums ever: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarre_Ride_II_the_Pharcyde">Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde</a> </li>
<li><strong>Gangsta Team</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Central_Cartel">South Central Cartel</a> (Feat. <a href="http://www.2pac.com/">2pac</a>, <a href="http://icet.com/">Ice-T</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MC_Eiht">MC Eiht</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_1">Spice-1</a>) - Maybe the best "pass the mic" tune of all time. Its tight production, and incessant rhythm are only out paced by the eye-popping line-up. This is a collection of real golden age titans.</li>
<li><strong>Git Up, Git Out</strong>- <a href="http://www.outkast.com/">Outkast</a> (Feat. <a href="http://www.ceelogreen.com/">Cee-Lo</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Gipp">Big Gipp</a> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodie_Mob">Goodie Mob</a>) - Nearly two decades before Outkast and Cee-Lo were Grammy winning household names this song was one of the reasons why <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik">Southernplayalisticadillacmusik</a> changed music, and why it is still held in such high regard to hip-hop heads worldwide.</li>
<li><strong>Stranded On Death Row</strong>- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dre">Dr. Dre</a> (Feat. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurupt">Kurupt</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RBX">RBX</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_of_Rage">The Lady of Rage</a>, and <a href="http://snoopdogg.com/">Snooop Doggy Dogg</a>) - Yet another fantastic beat by Dre, and flawless lyrics by a talented stable that made this a vital cog in the hit making machine that was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronic">The Chronic</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Wheee</strong>!- <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Underground">Digital Underground</a> (Feat. Clee, Smoothe, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saafir">Saafir</a>) - This was just a bonus song on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Body-Hat_Syndrome">The Body-Hat Syndrome</a>, and much of it is free-styled and it isn't going to win any awards for production or writing. But the free-wheeling spirit and let's-see-what-happens attitude embodies why rap even started in the first place. Plus its nice to end an album like this on a whimsical note, you just gotta say Wheeee!!!!!</li>

As I was trying to come up with a dish for <a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/127hours/">127 Hours</a> (you know, the movie about that real guy <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aron_Ralston">Aron Ralston</a> who was trapped by a rock and ended up cutting his own arm off to escape to rescue) I felt like I might need to gnaw MY arm off. For some reason every year there are a couple movies that just don't lend themselves to making dishes about them. Granola or Power Bars crossed my mind. There was talk of chicken wings... but that seemed a bit morbid. What ended up winning out was a play on the visual look of the name itself: 127 Hours. Just drop the "u" and you get 127 Hors. Add some fancy French stuff and you get 127 Hors (D'oeurves).<br />

This one is actually more about the total items than any specific recipe. It is made up of 5 different little appetizers. 3 of them in a 25 count and 2 of them in a 26 count. 25+25+25+26+26= 127. You can really make any hors d'oeuvres you would like, but here are the five that were served at the 2011 Oscar Party: Fried Olives, Pita Chips with Hummus (topped with a slice of Kalamata Olive), Bread Rounds with Rondele (topped with Pimento and Chives), Caprese Bites with Baby Heirloom Tomatoes, Basil, and Fresh Mozzarella, and Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Most of these are pretty basic, 2 of them are a cracker/spread type snacks, and 2 of them are small skewer types on toothpicks. But, the Fried Olives are a dish I had never made, and in fact had never even tried. But I saw this <a href="http://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/italian-fried-olives/39953.html">demonstration</a> and wanted to try the recipe. I skipped the cheese, and used Panko bread crumbs instead (if you are not yet aware of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panko">Panko</a> bread crumbs, do yourself a favor and give them a shot, your taste buds will thank you), but I basically stuck to the technique.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br /></div>
It actually came together nicely, and they were some of the most popular bites of the night. It was unfortunate that as soon as one person tried any of the dishes it threw the number off and the whole effect was lost. But just getting something pulled together had me feeling like James Franco's character must have felt like once he saw that med-evac helicopter landing. ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-2230620042004976362011-08-13T18:21:00.000-07:002011-08-13T18:23:16.963-07:00The End of an Era (Many of TVs Best Shows are Nearing Their Finale)***SPOILER ALERT*** (see bottom of page)<br />
<br />
There are few things filled with more disappointment and anticipation than when a popular TV show decides to call it quits. After all, fans nearly regard the characters of their favorite shows as friends and family. Successful shows often run for the better part of a decade, and they become ingrained in our lives and daily routines. Finales in particular are able to gather crowds, the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most_watched_television_broadcasts">M*A*S*H finale</a> is still the most watched broadcast in American history (of course M*A*S*H wasn't only well done and incredibly popular, but it had the advantage of limited competition because few homes had cable at that point, and the big 3 networks still ruled the day). Everyone wants to know "how it ends", whatever "it" might be. Finales can create quite a buzz, Seinfeld, The Sopranos, and Lost all made big news and water cooler chatter when they came to their end. There is usually a big finally every few years or so, and there is a built up to the main event. But this year there is an inordinate number of fan favorites and critically acclaimed programs that are winding down.<br />
<br />
For some reason 2011 will be the end point for 4 shows that in one way or another have shaped television and pop culture over their run. This summer is the last season for The Closer, Weeds, Rescue Me, and Entourage. DVRs across America are going to have plenty of free space with these massively popular shows leaving a huge vacuum behind.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<a href="http://www.tnt.tv/">TNT</a>s <a href="http://www.tnt.tv/series/closer/">The Closer</a> is the most popular show in cable history. Ok, there are a few qualifiers in that statement. It had the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Closer">top-rated premier</a> episode ever for any scripted series on basic cable", drawing 7.03 million viewers. And the second season premiere had the largest premiere audience (8.28 million viewers) for a scripted cable series. It is the most viewed scripted series of all time.<br />
<br />
There are a few reasons for this. First of all it is well scripted, supremely acted, and gritty without being grotesque. It is a police drama based on the lead characters ability to see through and get even the sliest of criminals to confess to seemingly unsolvable crimes. There are those who believe it to be statement of feminist ideals, based on the strength and cunning of the main character Brenda Leigh Johnson holding her own in a male dominated field. But people don't usually watch TV to make statements. People watch what they like, and Deputy Chief Johnson is exceedingly likable (unless you are the focus of her interrogation). In fact the entire Major Crimes Division is filled with an array of great characters played by a strong <a href="http://www.tnt.tv/series/closer/castcrew">cast</a>. The show is versatile and fun and keeps fans coming back week after week.<br />
<br />
But there is another less obvious reason for its success. The Closer benefited from some significant technological and cultural changes. First off it followed pioneers like <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ER_(TV_series)">ER</a> and <a href="http://www.hbo.com/the-sopranos/index.html">The Sopranos</a>, the former proving that TV air time could be used for more than just time filler and real great things could be done on television, and the latter showing that movie quality weekly programing would drive viewership even on subscription cable. Another major change that aided The Closer was in the cable box itself. The Digital Video Recorder (or DVR) opened up hours, days, and months that previously were a programming wasteland. Prior to DVR technology the summer months were left to Baseball and re-runs, and nobody really questioned it, after all viewers were all out doing something outside or on vacation. And while you could tape your favorite show on a VCR, it was nothing close to the ease of pushing a few buttons on a remote and set up entire series recordings. Plus the DVR was easier for the cable company to track to better understand ratings.<br />
<br />
The Closer is not only a smart and entertaining show, but it was one of the first programs on basic cable to take advantage of a new horizon and firmly planted itself as the best show of the summer. That bold decision paid off. It might have been a big fish in a little summer time slot pond, but with its initial success it showed that even this little old scripted basic cable drama could be a big fish in any pond. So, we solute you Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, and Major Crimes Division, you will be missed.<br />
<br />
Another show with a strong female lead that has had a successful run and a fanatical following is <a href="http://www.sho.com/site/weeds/home.sho">Weeds</a>. The fate of the program is not yet completely sealed, and there appear to be recent hints that <a href="http://www.sho.com/site/index.html">Showtime</a> might be rethinking early reports that this would be the final year. The decision will not be a light one since Weeds is routinely the highest viewed program on the network. In fact the 4th season premiere was the highest ever viewership with 1.3 million, aided by the shift of the premiere from August in the first 3 seasons to June, taking advantage of the summer months much like The Closer. <br />
<br />
Weeds is also interesting because it reinvents itself nearly every season. The initial concept of Nancy Botwin, a widowed soccer mom (played by golden globe winning Mary-Louise Parker) who turns to a life of drug dealing to make ends meet became untenable. She was either going to get caught eventually, or she was going to have a nice little business that never had any problems, neither of which make real compelling television. So, like a phoenix from the ashes (quite literally after Nancy burns down the entire fictional town of Agrestic, CA at the end of season 3) Weeds is reinvented season after season. In a way it is the first show to spin-off of itself every year. The characters are the same, and it maintains the same sardonic wit, but typical constructs of when and where are not only sidestepped but often defiantly cast off as superfluous. As long as Nancy is selling pot to keep the Botwin clan afloat the rest of the particulars don't matter. This season might be the last chance to prove that they can make that work. So even though Weeds might go up in smoke, we put our lighters in the air in hopes of an encore.<br />
<br />
Speaking of smoke, <a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/originals/rescueme/">Rescue Me</a> on <a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/">FX</a>, Dennis Leary's homage to post 9/11 New York City Firefighters is also finishing its 7 season run. While its viewership numbers are not as eye popping as some other shows (4.1 million for its debut episode ranks #8 for basic cable premiers), it is a gem of a program that pulls no punches and treats many of today's scariest issues with brutal honesty, respect, and humor. Many people might be turned off by its rampant alcohol abuse, sex, foul language, violence, and general disregard for anything resembling sophistication, but Rescue Me has real heart, soul, and five alarm comedy. It is irreverent, unabashed, and some might consider it crass, but it is important. More important than some are willing to give it credit for. <br />
<br />
These dark discussions need to happen, it helps us be self aware. It is nice to know that some writers out there don't want to be our friend. They want to make us laugh, and cry, but most of all think. And some thoughts are just unpleasant, that doesn't mean we shouldn't allow our minds to face them. While Rescue Me might not leave as deep a void in terms of fans, it is just as important as any of the shows on this list. Appropriately the series finale is the Wednesday before the 10th anniversary of 9/11. It promises to be an emotional ending, but it shouldn't be too hard for us to put our trust in the hands of Ladder 62.<br />
<br />
Probably the most popular of the shows that is coming to an end this season is <a href="http://www.hbo.com/entourage/index.html">Entourage</a>. The semi-biographical story of an A-list movie star and his hangers-on. The show, that is loosely based on Mark Wahlberg and his crew, gained immense popularity right off the bat, capitalizing on the cushy <a href="http://www.hbo.com/">HBO</a> Sunday night time slot, and a hipper than thou outlook. Its popularity is not so based in a thoughtful script, or dealing with taboos and issues of the day, it is just cool. Guilty pleasure cool. I'd like to live like that for one week cool. Cool people, cool cars, cool hobbies, cool clothes, cool trips, cool reservations at cool restaurants, cool, cool, cool. Ah, the life of young Hollywood. Whatever the attraction the show is a phenomenon, and it will leave a big wake. But we shouldn't feel too bad for HBO, they are a factory that churns out fantastic programing year in and year out. But it is sad to see the career of young Vinnie Chase cut short in the prime of his life... Does anyone know if Vinnie is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/27_club">27</a>?**<br />
<br />
One last note: Mad Men just signed on for its final 3 years... Which means that it doesn't exactly fit this list, but the clock is ticking on Don Draper too.<br />
<br />
***be careful, if you haven't ever seen these shows certain elements of the shows are discussed openly<br />
**I know nothing of the finale of Entourage and have no reason to think that the writers would kill Vinnie off to end the seriesejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-78783213264782545492011-08-11T13:55:00.000-07:002011-08-11T13:55:59.189-07:00What's in a name? (who to pick, and who not to pick in your 2011 Fantasy Football Draft)We've all done it. At a cocktail party, or in class sometime, or just bumping in to someone at the mall or on the street. You search back through your entire memory and you simply can not remember the other persons name. It is one of those moments that has the unique ability to make you feel stupid, thoughtless, and rude all at the same time. It's a bummer man.<br />
<br />
When it comes to your fantasy football draft* this simple mistake can not only be embarrassing, but it can spell disaster for your team before kick off of the first game. There is no worse feeling than realizing that your latest pick not only retired 3 years ago, but the guy you thought you were picking was selected 3rd overall and you never really had a shot at him in the first place. Basically, you need to know who is on your players list, and the differences between players.<br />
<br />
But they don't make it easy. There are 5 guys named Ryan in the <a href="http://polymouth.blogspot.com/2011/08/fantasy-football-draft-cheat-sheet-20.html#more">Top 250</a>, and 4 of them are running backs. Who ever thought there would be deux hommes named Pierre in the NFL? Why are there more players named Jacoby than the more traditional Jacob? Is it any wonder that over two decades after everyone wanted to "Be Like Mike" there are 3 dudes named Jordan on the list? And let's not forget there are 2 guys named Steve Smith, and another 2 named Mike Williams, and all 4 of them are wide receivers.<br />
<br />
So, here are a few things to keep in mind to hopefully differentiate between certain players you do or do not want on your team:<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
1) BRANDON- There are 8 Brandons in the Top 250. And 5 of those are wide receivers. And while Brandons Tate, Jackson, Gibson and LaFell will probably not be on your roster there are going to be some decisions you will have to make with the others. Brandon Pettigrew is the 11th ranked tight end, and will be on somebodies roster in your league, but there is no rush to pick him up. He's a good mid to late round pick up if you haven't picked up a TE yet. Brandon Jacobs is an absolute beast, and is ranked #100 overall in the Top 250. He will be a nice addition to your team, but you had better have a RB or two before you call his name. The real question is which WR to take, Brandon Marshall or Brandon Lloyd.<br />
<br />
Brandon Marshall is considered by some to be the best all around athlete in the game. He is big, fast, and strong, and he has a knack for making defensive backs look like children bouncing off of him on his way to the end zone. But Brandon Lloyd has one of the best set of hands in the game, and he led the league in receiving yards last season. So, who do you take? Well, first off, don't rush for either of them. Both Marshall and Lloyd are on teams that have real big question marks at the quarterback position, which makes either of them a risk. But as a mid round pick both would make a nice #2 WR. But Marshall has been better for longer, and if you are deciding between the two he is more likely to maintain the level he has been at in the past.<br />
<br />
2) MATT- There are 8 Matts in the Top 250 (if you count Kickers...), and 5 of them are quarterbacks. What are the odds of over 15% of the starting QBs in the NFL having the same first name? It really is an incredible stat when you think about it. Before we get to that, the first Matt off the board will be RB Matt Forte. He is projected to be a second round pick, but with contract issues, changes in his offensive line, and Chaster Taylor and Marion Barber breathing down his neck he is far from a "sure thing". If you can get him in the 3rd round or later that will be a solid pick. <br />
<br />
Now the QBs. Matt Hassellbeck is now in Tennessee in the classic battle of rookie vs veteran with Jake Locker. And considering he's the 5th QB named Matt on the list, that means he probably isn't really a starter, and maybe not even a decent back up for your roster. Matt Cassel might be a good #2 QB, especially with weapons like Jamaal Charles, and Dwayne Bowe surrounding him. Matt Stafford is right on the cusp of becoming a solid starter, but injury concerns with him specifically, and the Lions in general (they just lost thier second round pick RB Mikel Lashoure for the season with a torn achilles), drop him down as a gamble at your #2 QB position. You might want to risk it in the mid to late rounds, if things come together for him he could be a real sleeper.<br />
<br />
The biggest question is Matt Schaub or Matt Ryan? These two really are a toss up, and they are both going to be starting for someone in your league. They both have lethal weapons on the outside in Andre Johnson and Roddy White respectively, as well as solid running games behind them. Expect these guys to go around the 4th and 5th round of your draft, after both of their RBs and WRs are gone in the first 2 rounds. These guys lead 2 of the most potent offenses in the league. So, who do you take if they are both available? By the narrowest of margins, take Schaub. First, with the addition of Julio Jones on Atlanta's backfield, the falcons running game might eat up some TDs that went to the passing game last year. And with the supposed upgrade to the Texans defense, Schaub might have the ball more often for more of the game. I would not be surprised if Ryan has a break out year, but right now Schaub is the way to go. <br />
<br />
3) RYAN- Ryan Fitzpatrick is the only Ryan on the Top 250 who isn't a RB, all 4 of whom are in the top 100, and will probably be off the board by the 7th or 8th round. But Fitzpatrick is another story, he is a good player, but at this point of his development, and more importantly the cast around him it is hard to take him until the later rounds of your draft. He will breakout one day, but maybe wait for him to get one or two more weapons before you move him up your board.<br />
<br />
On the other end of the spectrum Ryan Matthews will be gone early, probably the 3rd round. After an injury hampered rookie season where many fantasy owners were duped into taking him in the first round, Matthews stock has appropriately slipped. With injury risk and splitting time (and scores) with Mike Tolbert, I think even the 3rd round might be a bit early. But if you end up with comically similarly named Ryan Matthews and Matthew Ryan by the end of the 5th round you will have some good upside.<br />
<br />
The real question is the 3 Ryans in the middle. There are 3 mid to late round RBs named Ryan that all have red flags and question marks. Ryan Grant had injury issues last year, Ryan Williams is going to split time with Beanie Wells, and Ryan Torian already has had wrist surgery but is hopeful to hold on to the starting spot in Washington. That is probably the order they belong in. Grant has huge upside as long as he doesn't get hurt again a 7th round pick up would be a good spot for him. Williams is a rookie so its up in the air what to expect, 7th or 8th round would be a gamble but could be worth it. And don't look at Torian until more is known about his healing. Tim Hightower will take the reps for the Redskins until Torian returns.<br />
<br />
A couple quick hits:<br />
<br />
Which Steve Smith? Take Carolina's WR Steve Smith for now, he may have lost a step from his premier form, but he is still valuable as a #2 WR or Flex player. The other Steve Smith just signed with the star magnet Eagles, but he might not play for a few weeks dropping his value to later rounds. He could be a good guy to stash away for later this year, but don't expect him to start in week one.<br />
<br />
Peyton or Peyton? All due respect to Peyton Hillis, but one breakout season does not sway me over a guy who is arguably the best player of all time. It is hard to exactly compare an upstart RB against an aging and injured legendary QB, but take Peyton Manning. Always take Peyton Manning. Because do you know what will happen if you don't? He will throw for 450 yards and 5 TDs the week that you play against him... Just take Peyton Manning.<br />
<br />
Which Mike Williams? Even taking into account strength of schedule you want Tampa Bay's WR Mike Williams over Seattle's WR Mike Williams. By a long shot too. TBs would be a good pick in the 4th round, and SEAs will still be around in the 7th or 8th. But honestly with the QB situation in SEA I'm not sure he's worth a pick even that early.<br />
<br />
And finally, which Pierre to pick? New Orleans' RB Pierre Thomas and Indianapolis' WR Pierre Garcon come from two of the most dynamic offenses in the entire league. The problem is there are plenty of weapons on both teams and the ball gets spread around quite a bit. Both of these guys are capable of scoring in bunches, but then they will disappear for a week or two. That being said they are both nice flex players or bench guys for BYE weeks. But with the depth chart at the RB position in NO expect Garcon to be more of a fantasy factor.<br />

</tbody></table>
The last few years I have thrown an Oscar Party. Who knew that if you got tasty food, cocktails, and (ahem) some friendly wagering all in one place you could get even the most hardened anti-award-show types to have a great time? I will eventually go back and post recipes and some pics from previous parties, but lets begin with the most recent.<br />
<br />
The main components to the shin-dig are threefold: A dish for each of the movies nominated for Best Picture, fun decorations including the free hand Mural in the 100 Mile Hallway, and the Oscar ballot game where everyone guesses who wins for prizes at the end of the night. Throw in some top flight movies, some over priced fashion, and some mediocre comedy and you gotta party baby! Let's roll out the red carpet and take a look at the nominees...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Here is the menu (and links to the recipes) for the dishes to represent the nominated films. Some of the names might elicit groans and eye rolls, but some of them were pretty hard to come up with, and its all in good fun so just roll with it.<br />

Now, decorations and a creative menu will only keep your guests interested for so long. The best way to actually keep them attentive during the show is to get their competitive nature going. Enter the Oscar Pool game. There are 24 awards given out during the show, ranging from Sound Editing and Makeup to Best Director and the granddaddy of 'em all Best Picture. Print out a ballot (there are a number of them available on line once the nominees are announced) and assign a point value to each category. Here is the scoring schedule I've used and it does a good job of balancing value of the "most important" awards and keeping the game competitive through out the night:</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Best Picture- 15</li>
<li>Best Director- 13</li>
<li>Bast Actress, Best Actor- 12</li>
<li>Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor- 10</li>
<li>Original Screenplay, Adapted Screenplay- 8</li>
<li>Animated Feature, Documentary Feature, Cinematography- 7</li>
<li>Animated Short, Live-Action Short, Art Direction, Costume Design, Documentary Short, Foreign Language Film- 6</li>
<li>Film Editing, Original Song, Original Score- 5</li>
<li>Makeup, Sound Editing, Visual Effects, Sound Mixing- 3</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
This scoring system has worked for us, but you can tweak it any way you like. Once you have your scoring system, on a printed ballot put the value for each next to each category, a place to print your name, and a spot for a tie breaker (I like using what time will the show end, to the minute). Make enough copies for your guests and you are good to go. This year I found a little Oscar replica to hand out to the winner, but I'm sure you can get creative with some way to motivate your guests to join the game...</div>
<div>
<br />
Movies and film are a wonderfully vibrant and important part of "Americana", and the Oscars are the biggest night in Hollywood. They are, in their own phony, over-produced, self-important way, one of the most vital pillars in our society. Granting recognition to those who dare to stand out and take the rest of us with them. Whether it be a trip back in time, the story of two star crossed lovers, or to a galaxy far, far away, the journeys we take through film are important (J-Lo. movies not withstanding). And even if you don't buy in to all of that... The Oscars are a good excuse for a party! So, if you like movies, parties, hanging out with your friends, and beating your friends at award show ballot games, this is a great way to incorporate all of these things into one night. Break a leg...<br />

It never sounds good. It is not something I would order after dinner. And there is something about it that just looks... odd. But every time I do venture out and give it a shot I'm always surprised just how tasty it is. I mean off-the-charts-good. I sit there with a look of confusion as to why I don't eat flan every day. I should have by this point of my life realized that, despite all of my thoughts to the contrary, I like flan.<br />
<br />
<div>I think many other people have a similar reaction. Hesitation at first, followed by bewilderment, and finished with cravings for more. The problem is getting people to try the first bite. Which can by quite an obstacle. This is why serving flan at a party is a bold move, especially if you are straying from the deliciously traditional caramel custard. </div><br />

</tbody></table>But when this years Oscar nominees were announced, I had a sinking feeling once I realized I had to do it: I had to make "Black Flan". Not only was I going to try making a dish I wasn't sure I even liked, I was going to be making a dish I had never made before, and with a twist that could ruin the whole thing... Gulp. But that feeling seemed to fit right in line with the scary, uneasy, psychedelic nature of Natalie Portman's Oscar winning portrayal in <a href="http://www.foxsearchlight.com/blackswan/">Black Swan</a>. And much like the dancer in Black Swan, the dish had to straddle both traditional beauty and technique, with avant-garde danger and risk. Ok, that's a bit dramatic, adding blackberries to custard ain't exactly a Warhol painting, but just go with the metaphor here will ya?<br />
<br />
So after some practice and trying out a couple different recipes it came down to 3 basic steps:<br />
<ol><li>Making Blackberry Simple Syrup</li>
<li>Making the Flan Custard</li>
<li>Baking and Serving</li>
</ol>Really that's it. There are a few steps in between, and a couple little tweaks for fun, but that is just about it. So let's get going...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Traditional flan has that beautiful, golden caramel crown that seductively drips down the sides. For the Black Flan we are going to use blackberry syrup instead of caramel sauce. You need 3 ingredients:<br />
<br />
1 C Water<br />
1 C Sugar<br />
1/2 C Blackberries<br />
<ol><li>Put Water in pot on medium-high heat</li>
<li>Add Sugar, bring to boil, and stir until dissolved</li>
<li>Lower heat to medium-low, add Blackberries let cook down, stirring occasionally (10-15 mins)</li>
<li>Set aside till needed</li>
</ol>For the flan there are hundreds of different recipes out there, and I was experimenting a little bit here so I looked for the easiest most basic technique I could find. After searching around a bit, and adding my own little changes, here is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
6 eggs<br />
1 14 oz. Can Sweetened Condensed Milk<br />
1 13 oz. Can Evaporated Milk<br />
1/2 C Sugar<br />
1/4 tsp Blackberry Extract<br />
1/4 tsp Black or Purple food coloring (optional, but this is "Black Flan" after all)<br />
<ol><li>Preheat oven at 325 Degrees F</li>
<li>Beat eggs (this works well in a blender)</li>
<li>Add Condensed and Evaporated Milk, blend</li>
<li>Add Sugar, Extract, any food coloring you like, blend till smooth</li>
<li>Set aside till needed</li>
</ol>Just a couple mechanical steps left and you are done...<br />
<ol><li>Cover the bottom of a glass pie pan with the Blackberry Syrup, about 1/4 inch deep should do</li>
<li>Pour over the custard mix, gently, you want the syrup and custard layered in distinct levels</li>
<li>Put the pie pan in a larger roasting pan, and pour water in the larger pan till it comes about half way up the side of the pie pan.* Warmer water will not need as much time getting up to heat, thus shortening cooking time.</li>
<li>Place roasting pan in preheated oven.</li>
<li>Cook for 45 minutes to an hour. When a knife or toothpick comes out of the middle clean it is done.</li>
<li>Take out of oven and let cool</li>
<li>Invert serving dish (make sure it has edges high enough to keep the syrup from dripping over the edge) on top of the pie pan. Now brace yourself... You need to do this quick, but don't rush. You need to be firm, and also gentle. Put one hand under the pie pan, and put one hand on top of the serving dish, now... flip them. It worked my first time, but it was pretty nerve wracking, and I don't really know what to do if it doesn't work. </li>
<li>Drizzle a little more of your syrup over the top and around the flan if you have any left (it's also awesome on pancakes or waffles if you have any left over). Maybe garnish with some fresh blackberries and a sprig or two of mint leaves. Serve.</li>
</ol>There it is... done. Your guests will be shouting "Bravo" and throwing flowers at your feet. Curtain close. This was the dish I was probably most nervous about making for the Oscar Party, but it ended up being the dish I was most proud of. I went out on a limb and tried something completely out of my comfort zone, and ended up with real masterpiece. <br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">*You are creating a "Water Bath". You don't want the water to get into your dish, but this step ensures gentle even cooking. It is a technique often used in making cheesecakes, custards, and puddings.</span>ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-65488934211631200462011-08-06T12:30:00.000-07:002011-08-06T12:30:14.816-07:00The Social Knockwurst (Dish made for The Social Network at the 2011 Oscar Party)<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjWwbTIgsRDct9Ba0IXw2_vAnt7JRtGV3VB8niuVh2NBgGH1rKrdKIyzWL4EDW4oapXCwrbvYZ9N-CVXa6dj4BLsFLSu2UaKpX1JlmDTeq0mjSjPI474tAwYbNwpmji4sqw_eBudLVfBm8/s1600/Oscar+party+005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjWwbTIgsRDct9Ba0IXw2_vAnt7JRtGV3VB8niuVh2NBgGH1rKrdKIyzWL4EDW4oapXCwrbvYZ9N-CVXa6dj4BLsFLSu2UaKpX1JlmDTeq0mjSjPI474tAwYbNwpmji4sqw_eBudLVfBm8/s320/Oscar+party+005.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>This dish was a fun play on words, but it also has a fun adventure in the making of the recipe too. It's a real basic cracker snack appitizer, but there was a little searching around and a taste test involved. All the dish entailed was Sociable crackers (get it, "Sociable" for the "Social" Network... oh you can't script stuff like that), some stone ground musturd, a german style sausage called Knockwurst (learn the difference between Knockwurst and Bratwurst <a href="http://bavarianbistro.com/bavarian-food-facts/bratwurst-and-knockwurst-what-is-the-difference/">here</a>), topped with the first recipe ever put on The Polymouth: <a href="http://polymouth.blogspot.com/2011/05/caramelized-onions.html">Caramelized Onions</a>.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

</tbody></table>So Knockwurst doesn't exactly grow on trees. You have to do a little digging. You probably won't find it at your local super market, so this will give you a chance to try some of your local mom and pop butcher shops. In our search for the best option we tried out 3 of Portlands favorite butcher shops: <a href="https://www.ottossausage.com/">Otto's Sausage Kitchen</a>, <a href="http://edelweissdeli.com/">Edelweiss Sausage and Delicatessen</a>, and <a href="http://portland.citysearch.com/profile/8465095/portland_or/phil_s_uptown_meat_market.html">Phil's Uptown Meat Market</a>. There was no traditional Knockwurst to be found, but we selected a close enough facsimile from each spot and got to the fun: Sausage Taste Test!!! The winner ended up being Otto's <a href="https://www.ottossausage.com/products/bockwurst">Bockwurst</a>. It is a lovely, smooth, soft and flavorful sausage, and well worth the trip.<br />
<br />
The dish itself is real easy: Stack a cracker with mustard, a thin slice of sausage, and top with caramelized onions. I think a garnigh of flat-leaf parsley, lemon zest, or chives would be nice, but you don't need them. Serve this at your next party and your "Freinds" will "Like" them so much they will be "Requesting" more...<br />

<br />
"A Method" is an infectiously awkward tune driven by manual percussion (i.e. clapping) and flat monotone vocals. It does grow to crescendo as little by little other instruments are added, but it never loses the focus it begins with so simply. <br />
<br />
It is an elegant song, even if it is strange to the ear at first. But after a few listens you will find yourself whistling the tune at the grocery story, or in the shower, or driving around town. It is one of those songs that doesn't go away easy. But you will be happy to know that the song you're humming to yourself in public is cooler than most <a href="http://www.earthfinds.com/blog/earwigs-aka-songs-stuck-in-your-head.html">earwigs</a> that people are stuck with...

The lockout for all intents and purposes is over (keep your fingers crossed ). If things go as planned camps and free agency will start next Wednesday (7/27). So, everything will change once players start moving to different teams. But, here is the latest 2011 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet:<br />

Look for version 2.0 coming out as we know more about free agents and where they end up...ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-520365018614868852.post-56820057340356508882011-07-21T07:54:00.000-07:002011-07-21T07:54:33.865-07:00Willie Lyles vs. The Big LebowskiFor those college football fans out there I am sure by now you have heard the name Willie Lyles. He has been all over ESPN and sports talk radio explaining his side of an NCAA investigation of improprieties by The University of Oregon in the recruitment of some players (RB Lache Seastrunk in particular). Real quick, here are the main points. <br />
<ol><li>Willie Lyles knows and "mentors" many high school football players in Texas (RB Lache Seastrunk was one of these players)</li>
<li>Willie Lyles also runs a recruitment service, where he provides footage and stats of players to college football programs for a fee</li>
<li>Lache Seastrunk signed to play football at the University of Oregon</li>
<li>The University of Oregon paid Willie Lyles $25,000</li>
<li>The University of Oregon did not ask for any footage or stats for a year after the payment to Willie Lyles</li>
<li>It is unclear if Lyles was paid for his recruitment service or if, in his roll as a mentor, he "steered" players to the University of Oregon for money</li>
<li>Steering players to a specific school for pay, at best designates someone as an employee of the university which is highly regulated and requires transparency, and at worst designates them as a booster, and recruitment by boosters is a big no-no in the eyes of the NCAA</li>
<li>There are no allegations that any student athlete was paid to go to the University of Oregon</li>
<li>Willie Lyles denies that he steered any students to any school</li>
<li>Lache Seastrunk "Redshirted" last year, meaning he practiced and was on the team but never played in a game, so he retains his 4 years of college eligibility</li>
<li>The University of Oregon is cooperating with the NCAA investigation and has made no further statements on the subject, and the silence is deafening</li>
</ol>Ok, those are "the facts" up to now. NCAA investigations being as they are, this issue is going to be out there for a while and we might not see a resolution for months or years. So in the mean time, why not have some fun with it...?<br />
<br />
YouTube legend and friend of The Polymouth <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/keeerrrttt">keeerrrttt</a> has put together some clips of various news outlets discussing the situation. And since all things must and do relate back to The Big Lebowski, he created a hilarious comparison of the two. It is a little long, but well worth it (keep in mind The Big Lebowski has some rather coarse language, and might not be appropriate for the office or around children). Take a look... <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5eEkcpgioA">Willie Lyles vs. The Big Lebowski</a>ejcp11http://www.blogger.com/profile/07032609017954314593noreply@blogger.com0
