  1. I'll give you mine. First, find Kaiser rolls. Not that easy, but any thick hamburger type roll will do. Kaiser is the best. Mix kosher salt and caraway seed together, a little more caraway than salt. Do not use table salt. Prepare some kind of wash to hold the salt/caraway to the top. You can use an egg white wash. Dip the top of the rolls into the wash and apply the salt/caraway. I cook the best roast beef cut at 225 grill temp until 127 internal. I won't use top round, but sirloin or anything better. Let rest for 10-15 minutes, covered in aluminum. Slice very thin. Load the beef in the roll. Apply horseradish to taste.
  2. I'm not certain they had decided to punt prior to the timeout. Could well have been that the timeout discussion led to the punt decision. Assumptions from fans are often inaccurate.
  3. Anybody see anything from A J Klein yesterday? I never noticed him. I think he could be an important part of our run defense this Sat.
  4. No Mossad connections? They could get this "worked out" to your satisfaction.
  5. I still think Beasley is a valuable part of the offense, but he looks a bit off. More important, in this week's matchup, McKenzie may be a larger part of the offense, given the speed advantage he has over the Pat's DB's that covered him in the last matchup, resulting in a career day. I'm certain Belichick will adjust to McKenzie's success against his defense, and how we adjust to his adjustment may have a good deal to do with the success of our passing game.
  6. Not true. Bills played Patriots in a playoff game in 1963.
  7. Good day for Webb. Heat shield deployed properly, though some angst during the process as the sensors that indicated that its' cover had properly retracted and been stowed did not report a successful retraction. Fortunately, other indicators and temp readings along the shield indicated it was properly positioned. Now to separate and extend the five layers of shield and properly tension them. Then onto the beginning of the optics positioning.
  8. Two big days today and tomorrow as the sun shield is deployed.
  9. Disagree. They are constantly caught up inside on edge runs. Last week was no exception.
  10. Unfortunately, we have grossly overpaid for the production of our defensive line. If we don't get more inside run stopping, edge containment and quarterback pressure, we are in for a short post season. The Tre'Davious White injury makes their performance a necessity.
  11. On flights I flew from the US to Asian destinations, (Japan and China), first class passengers were given pajamas. Many wore them. Of course the seats could be used as beds.
  12. Thirty minutes to go. Looking good for now.
  13. It's easy. Wrap the cherry tomato in a small strip of prosciutto, get the basil on and hold it all together with a small toothpick, which also serves as the serving entity. Drizzle a little olive oil or balsamic, depending on taste, over the top and your done. I'll miss the cioppino, but the seafood selection just isn't available this year. Next year.
  14. We were married in San Francisco, and our tradition for the year's since is a Cioppino recipe from that area that I've made for years. This year, for the first time, the shell fish isn't available in our area of Virginia, so I'm leaving the choice to others. I'm just providing a cherry tomato wrapped in prosciutto and a bay leaf appetizer. Tomato and basil from our greenhouse.
  15. Yes. Hubbell pictures are black and white or greyscale, more accurately. The spectacular images published are after processing, which is not to say they are not accurate. The scope has numerous filters and after taking pictures with a number of them, and seeing how much light passes through in each wavelength range, they can get a sense of the true color and then apply that to complete the final image. Hubbell's initial problem was due to an error in testing equipment which ultimately led to the misplacing of the primary mirror, and thus, blurry images. Fortunately an ingenious fix was arrived at, resulting in the fabulous images we have enjoyed for years. Such a fix won't be possible at Webb's orbit location.
  16. So many incredible things about this scope. It will take nearly six months to get fully deployed and have the science working on it. Orbital point is at Lagrange 2, which is about a million miles from earth and synchronized to earth's orbit around the sun, and protected by a massive heat shield. What gives it it's unique ability is that it senses IR signals instead of visual light, like Hubbell. So many things have to go right, as there is no way to fix it, other than what it can do internally. Super exciting to watch this process.
  17. You don't "trigger" me. You simply have no idea what you are talking about, and the suggestion is ridiculous on so many levels it simply has to be responded to. I'm still waiting for an explanation of how some "rapid response team" is going to build an airbase that can handle F-22's, F-15's, tankers and AWACS.
  18. You are not well informed. Nobody, from SecDef down would ever issue a directive to put two squadrons in the Ukraine. The suggestion that you made that some rapid response team would set up an air base in this situation is the stuff of grammar schoolers reading comic books. It simply doesn't work that way in the real world.
  19. The entire suggestion is preposterous, and nobody, certainly not any Air Force officer is going to set themself up as a "tripwire." Air combat involves much more than throwing a few squadrons in a foreign land.
  20. Easy. I'm not going to expand a response to other options. Just going to stick with what you posted and I asked about. Deploying a "couple of fighter squadrons" would require an airfield to operate out of, which we don't have there, some kind of command and control capability, which would involve AWACS, tankers for air-air refueling, a huge ground force for support and maintenance. Just a crazy, impossible suggestion that the pilots would be wacky to undertake.
  21. "Message Board Serious," is probably an indictment. The idea is preposterous, senseless, would never be considered and likely produce irreparable harm. I'm not sure if you are familiar with this kind of thing, but it takes a whole lot more than what you propose to ever be effective.
  22. Is this a serious suggestion or a joke? Not meaning to be disrespectful, just wondering.
  23. Ya. McClusky was a South Park High School guy. It was the Japanese destroyer, Arashi he followed. Nimitz said that McClusky's perseverance" "decided the fate of our carrier task force and our forces at Midway." I think there is a bronze statue of him in Buffalo. In recognition of his heroic actions, the "McClusky Award" is given annually to the most outstanding strike fighter squadron in the US Navy, and it is a very big deal to receive that.
  24. The cracking the code thing is overrated. The US was only able to decipher a percentage of transmissions, and the Japanese did not include a number of details in what was deciphered. The US knew where and when. They did not have any idea of the position of Japanese "Kido Butai." With inferior equipment and inferior tactics, it was pure serendipity that South Buffalo native and CAG Wade McClusky found the Japanese carrier fleet, resulting in the sinking of four Japanese carriers in ten minutes, and changing the course of the Pacific war.
  25. Disagree completely. The oil card has been played. Oil is plentiful and massive amounts can be easily brought online. The Russians haven't nearly the power that is ascribed to them. They simply don't understand that until they are hit over the head with their lack of perceived strength. It has happened many time before.
