Bailout Bill Has More Pork Than a Dim Sum Restaurant
Well, we now know that Barack Obama really isn't a secret Muslim. No adherent of the Koran could vote for a bailout package that contained more pork than a Hormel rendering plant.
Yet, that's exactly what Obama — and John McCain, along with leadership in both Houses of Congress — did last week.
Of course, Obama wasn't the one who loaded up the bill with earmarks. That task fell to statesmen such as…
* Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR), who seeks a tax break for arrow manufacturers in his home district.
* Rep. Don Young (R-AK), who as House porker-in-chief, seeks a tax break for the perpetrators in the Exxon Valdez oil spill.
* An anonymous sponsor, who seeks tax write-offs for the owners of NASCAR racetracks.
Thankfully, these provisions and many others made it in to the bill, which is why our financial institutions survived the weekend and why we aren't all speaking Mandarin, Russian or Arabic right now.
Time to celebrate with some ribs and bacon.

Call for the Congressman, Stay for the Phone Sex
Any prude who insists that phone sex has no place in representative government has obviously never tried calling Charlie Summers, a Republican running for Congress in Maine…
Callers looking for a Maine congressional candidate's campaign office are instead directed to a phone sex line, thanks to a phone book mistake.
The latest Talking Phonebook for the Portland area lists a toll-free number for Republican 1st District candidate Charlie Summers' campaign office in Saco.
But when people call the number, they are greeted by a woman's voice inviting them to call another toll-free number, which turns out to be a phone sex line.
Summers claims this was a giant misunderstanding, but he'll change his tune when he gets to Congress and learns that whoring over the phone is basically his job.
Just ask Rep. Don Young (R-AK), who published an "intern survival guide" that was little more than a list of lobbyists who have full phone access to Young. They call in, pony up some cash, and Young porks them in return.
Sound like fun, Charlie Summers? I give him a month in Congress before he starts longing for the days of plain, old-fashioned phone sex.

Which Maverick VP Candidate Has Been Shilling For Indicted Sen. Ted Stevens? (Hint: It's Not Joe Biden)
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has only been on the national scene for 5 days, but it's already clear that she's a Maverick with a capital M. We've learned that she launched an ethics probe against the state GOP chairman and backed her Lieutenant Governor in his race against notoriously corrupt Rep. Don Young. Clearly we're dealing with an independent mind.
So then what the hell was this Maverick doing when she served as director of a 527 group for indicted Senator Ted Stevens?
And while we're at it, why did her website feature a video of Stevens endorsing her up through last week?
Could it be because she'd been hitting up Stevens and his Senate Appropriations Committee for $27 million worth of federal pork projects for her hometown of Wasilla, population 8.471? Or because she's now asking Stevens for another $197.8 million in federal earmarks in next year's federal budget?
Or maybe it's just that, as a fellow Alaska Republican, it's Palin's duty to stand tall with Stevens as he awaits trial. But historical precedent suggests otherwise…
You didn't see ex-Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco defending fellow Democrat William Jefferson when the latter was found to be hoarding $90,000 worth of bribe money in a freezer. And unless we missed it, Idaho Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter certainly hasn't been performing restroom blowjobs to show solidarity with Sen. Larry Craig.
But I guess ignoring precedents is what made Palin a Maverick to being with.

Will Alaska's Top Porkers Ted Stevens and Don Young Get Roasted?
Alaska Senator Ted Stevens and Representative Don Young have combined to serve nearly 75 years in Congress. They've endured eight presidential administrations, flashed tempers worthy of… well, John McCain, and appropriated untold millions in pork projects to their home state.
But all that could be coming to an end on Tuesday…
The two men who once were considered unbeatable now face bruising fights in Tuesday's primary election that could put their once solidly Republican congressional seats up for grabs. Both have been caught up in a long-running federal investigation that has already seen three GOP state lawmakers, the former governor's chief of staff and three others convicted on corruption charges.
Stevens — visionary behind the infamous Bridge to Nowhere — has been indicted for failing to report gifts from an oil company that remodeled his home in exchange for political favors.
Young — who hasn't even bothered to limit his pork projects to Alaska — has spent over one million dollars in legal fees, in hopes of staving off an indictment in the very same investigation.
Of the two porkers, Young stands the greater chance of losing his primary on Tuesday. His opponent, Lt. Governor Sean Parnell, has been endorsed by Gov. Sarah Palin, and even national conservative groups have lined up to rip Young on TV.
Young, with his trademark grace, has embraced Parnell's candidacy ever since the Republican state convention in March…
"Sean, congratulations. I beat your dad and I'm going to beat you," Young said, referring to the 1980 race in which he trounced Pat Parnell, who ran as a Democrat.
Music to the ears of Democrat Ethan Berkowitz, who gets to take on the winner.

Still Forever Don Young
Join former United States Senate Pages Dylan and Ethan Ris as they bring you the dish on not just the presidential race but all the exciting triumphs and disgraces inside, outside, and below the Beltway!
Calling Collect! As you've read in this space before, Congressman Don Young (R-AK) has never let integrity or his constituents stand between him and his beloved lobbyists. And now the man dubbed "Mr. Pork" by Rolling Stone has the papers to prove it, following the leak of his "Survival Guide" for interns at his Washington office.
The Guide lists an "A-Team" of nine persons who are permitted to "talk to whomever they want" when they phone Young's office. And all nine of them are — can you guess? — lobbyists! That's right, we're talking folks like Rick Alcalde, who lobbies on behalf of Daniel Aronoff — the real estate developer for whom the Alaska Congressman earmarked $10 million in his adopted home district of Southwest Florida! And Randy DeLay, whose brother Tom was a noted Texas roach exterminator (as well as a former House Majority Leader)!
Once "The A-Team" is satiated, phone priorities go to other members of Congress and government officials. Riding the caboose are Young's actual Alaskan constituents. Notably omitted from the list is U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Mollie Beattie, who apparently has stopped calling since Young swung an 18-inch walrus penis bone at her.
Besides phone guidelines, the "Survival Guide" details the various demands of that will be placed on Young's interns, primarily by the Congressman's tyrant of a wife, Lula. Among other things, notes the Guide, "Mrs. Y… does not permit noise from computers" and "wants pumpkin seeds when she says sunflower seeds." Sounds like she must be the life of the party at Young's illegal golf fundraisers!
So how does the release of this "Survival Guide" affect you, gentle reader? Well, if you're bored right now, why not drop what you're doing and give Young a call on his office line — (202) 225-5765. If you want "to talk to whomever you want," just identify yourself as a lobbyist and explain you're calling in a rush delivery for a heaping order of pork!

Trading was halted on all Nasdaq-listed stocks on Aug. 22, 2013 in New York City. A technical glitch caused all Nasdaq stock trading to be halted.
Another computer glitch is sowing confusion on Wall Street.
Trading in the Nasdaq, a major stock exchange dominated by the biggest names in technology, was halted shortly after midday Thursday due to an unknown technical glitch. Nearly two hours later, trading was still frozen. Other exchanges were trading normally.
The disruption sent brokers scurrying to figure out what went wrong and raised new questions about the pitfalls of computer-driven stock trading.
Thursday's Nasdaq freeze echoed earlier stock market snafus, such the sudden plunge in stocks in May 2010 that came to be known as the "flash crash" and the glitch-plagued initial public offering of Facebook last year.
The exchange sent out an alert to traders saying that trading was being halted until further notice because of problems with a quote dissemination system. Nasdaq said it wouldn't be canceling any open orders, but that customers could cancel orders if they wanted to.
Nasdaq sent out an update at 1 p.m. EDT saying trading would reopen "at a time to be determined."
The Nasdaq composite index was stuck at 3,631.17, up 31.38 for the day. The index is up 20 percent so far this year.
Securities and Exchange Commission spokesman John Nester said: "We are monitoring the situation and are in close contact with the exchanges."
The days of stock brokers in colorful jackets, roaming the floor of the stock exchange, are fading. Now, powerful computer programs dominate trading by sifting through reams of data and executing trades in fractions of a second. That makes trading faster and, arguably, more efficient. But it also introduces more possibilities for errors that can jolt the entire market.

The Netflix documentary will tempt you to watch it, but the story it tells is unconvincing and the story it missed would have been better.
There's a movie called Slap Shot. You've heard of it, you've seen it, you love it. It's about a small-town minor-league hockey team that, faced with its recession-related shuttering, reinvents itself as a bunch of thugs on ice. The team's new rebelliousness draws fans, and it leads to victories. It works as two movies: the scrappy underdog story, and the men behaving badly story.

News Summary: Airlines offer fancy drinks
(AP) - SKY HIGH: Airlines have found a way to take the edge off the stress of flying and make a few bucks along the way: fancy cocktails, craft beers and elegant wines.
DRINK UP: Flying isn't what it used to be. Long lines, ever-changing security rules and limited overhead bin space have all made traveling much more stressful. It's no wonder many passengers look for a little escape.
COMWE HERE OFTEN? Virgin America will launch a "send a drink" feature. Passengers can use the plane's seatback entertainment system to buy their neighbors a margarita, merlot or maybe a shot of tequila.

Wii sales turning upwards
After dropping away in 2009, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata claims that the end of the year saw sales of the system recover - the big cheese saying that the release of new games saw business improve.
"I think it's now safe to say the Wii has recovered from slowdown," Iwata explains (thanks VG247).
"But I'm not sure if its prudent to use words like revival and recovery lightly before making absolutely certain we can maintain this momentum. So, I steer clear of such words today."
Apparently, Nintendo sold 3 million Wii consoles in the US last month - more than their previous 2008 peak of 2.15 million. Shares in the firm were up 5.1 percent as a result of this timely boost.
The release of New Super Mario Bros. is credited with renewed interest in the console. More as we get it.

Stanislaus County has many career opportunities, but sometimes it requires knowing where to look to locate the best job. The Stanislaus County Office of Education aims to enrich the region and the lives of local students by uniting them with career opportunities through the Stanislaus Leadership Academy.
California State University, Stanislaus is reaching out to the community through its One Purpose campaign to raise $1 million to provide scholarships to students who demonstrate academic excellence.
Chatom Elementary School was a zoo on Friday - literally.
The mascot of Earl Elementary School is the "Explorer" and this week sixth grade students exemplified this by "traveling" through time to discover the past civilizations of Greece, Rome and Egypt in an interactive program titled Walking through the Ancient World.
Paige Parrott is becoming an expert in blood.
Leaving the school system and entering the workforce can often pose challenges for students, especially those who lack exposure to the protocol expected in the professional sphere. However, numerous Turlock High School students will be entering the workforce ahead of the curve after an instrumental two-day etiquette lesson through the Transitional Partnership Program.
Many students and parents are well versed in scanning college ranking websites when preparing to apply for college and locals should rest assured that a quality education is within grasp as California State University, Stanislaus has recently been well ranked according to President Barack Obama's new university rating system.
Fourth grade teacher Marlene Bergstrom of Medeiros Elementary School was named the 2014 Teacher of the Year by the Modesto Rotary Club and Stanislaus County Office of Education for the fourth through sixth grade division.
When Linda Murphy-Lopes began kindergarten she was an illiterate, second-language learning student without dreams or aspirations. Turn the page and several years later she is one of the most powerful educators and catalysts for positive change in students in the Turlock Unified School District. This is her last year in the District as she is retiring after 25 years in Turlock and 30 years in education overall.
Steve Doerksen has a passion for sports and an enthusiasm for teaching, two interests which he will bring with him to his new job as principal of Turlock Christian High School this upcoming school year.
When Turlock High School oratory standout Jonas Trevethan first enrolled in a speech course, he was not entirely sure what he was getting into.
Osborn Two-Way Immersion Academy celebrated Día del Niño on Friday with mariachi music, folkloric dance performances, games, food and fun. Día del Niño, or Children's Day, was first proclaimed by the World Conference for the Well-being of Children in 1925.
While Denair Charter Academy may provide alternative off-campus educational opportunities that include online and home school learning, students and families made their way onto campus Thursday evening to take part in the Go Green Science Fair.
When Mackenzie Alameda began teaching art classes to children at the Carnegie Arts Center in Turlock, she witnessed an opportunity to not only teach students but to help them develop their own artistic vision.
Anyone entering Marlene Bergstrom's classroom at Medeiros Elementary on Tuesday afternoon witnessed an uncommon scene: some students were wearing bonnets, others were writing with quills, there were slates on each desk and Bergstrom was instructing students about the importance of penmanship on a mock chalkboard. What looked like a 'blast from the past' to an outsider was actually a typical day in Bergstrom's fourth grade class.
Thanks to the recommendation of Superintendent Dr. Sonny H. Da Marto and approval of the Board of Trustees, Turlock Junior High School students can expect to see Robert Ruiz as their new principal for the upcoming school year.
The upcoming school year is right around the corner and the City of Turlock has parents and guardians covered when it comes to an after school program for their children.
Turlocker Matthew Jacob recently traveled far beyond city limits to the Great Hall of the People in China to talk international education at the Commemoration of the 35th anniversary of the re-establishment of educational exchanges between the U.S. and China.
Universities across the state are receiving funds due to an additional $142.2 million that was allotted to the California State University System as part of the 2014-15 budget expenditure plan, $2 million of which will be directed to California State University, Stanislaus.

The city of La Verne's future may include some challenges, but the overall health of the city is good and its future looks bright, Mayor Don Kendrick told a crowd at a Jan. 31 State of the City address.
About 150 people filled a banquet room at the Hillcrest retirement community. On the luncheon's agenda was the traditional look back and glimpse ahead. Kendrick gave the address and touched on the progress made to the La Verne Veteran Memorial and the progress soon to be made.
The mayor gave a financial update and then talked about economic development and upcoming projects.
"(Financially) in general, we are in a position better than some other cities that have been highlighted in the news in recent months," Kendrick said. "But we are not without our challenges."
The city has adequate rainy day reserves of 15 percent that meet the city council's policy, Kendrick said.
"And we have a small projected growth in most major revenue streams totaling 3.6 percent," Kendrick said.
The city has balanced its budget without touching its reserves. But they will be using $1.5 million in what the mayor called "one time revenue." There will also be some cuts to expenditures that will include a third round of incentivized retirements for staffers, he said.
They may also look at cutting the cost of personnel. He did not elaborate how.
Sales tax income went up this year by about $200,000, an increase of 5 percent, Kendrick said.
Last summer, Kendrick said they hired a new marketing firm to develop a strategy that will help the city better position itself to lure in more retail. They will produce a market analysis that can identify businesses that might be interested in La Verne.
Kendrick also mentioned the start of La Verne Village, a mixed-use project that includes residential and retail, which broke ground in December. They hoped to have it open by early 2014.
Another future venture will be the creation of a web-based tip line that will allow people to text information about a crime or report a crime.
"The goal is to improve communication with our citizens and business owners," Kendrick said.
He ended with a quick description of an Old Town La Verne specific plan that will create "a road map for transit-oriented development in the vicinity of the Gold Line rail station."
The plan will affect the area around First Street and Arrow Highway between Street and White Avenue, according to staff reports.

Read an organic apprentice's blog
Cat Laidlaw has been working as a Soil Association Organic Apprentice at North Aston Organics since spring 2011. Find out what's happening on the farm.
Over recent years the Soil Association has been developing a network of open farms that welcome visits from the public and schools. We currently have over 100 farms on the network and are adding new farms all the time. The network includes farms of all shapes and sizes, from walled gardens to large upland estates. All have a common interest in engaging with the public and schools through farm trails, guided walks, open days, school visits and farm shops/holiday accommodation. Many of the farms have a dedicated education officer and offer activities linked to the national curriculum.
Research has shown that organic farms have greater numbers of insects, birds and wild flowers. The highest animal welfare standards mean that young people can learn how livestock can be reared with respect and compassion. The use of natural fertilisers such as clover and composted manure will help show how it is possible to farm with minimal external inputs thereby reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. By spending time on an organic farm, visitors can begin to understand that there are more sustainable ways of farming that work with nature rather than against it.
The Food for Life Partnership is a network of schools and communities across England committed to transforming food culture. Together we are revolutionising school meals, reconnecting children and young people with where their food comes from, and inspiring families to grow and cook food.

Cubs girls' basketball v Holdingford
Published on Sunday, 06 January 2013 15:27
Hits: 182
By Jeremy Kuechle, coach
Lady Cubs defeat Huskers, move to 5-3 into holiday break.
The Kimball Cubs girls' basketball team played their final game of 2012, hosting the Holdingford Huskers in conference action on Friday, Dec. 21. The first half went back and forth as Holdingford finished the first half with a 30-27 lead.
The Cubs started the second half on a 10-0 scoring run to take a 37-30 lead. Then Holdingford finally managed a field goal almost five minutes into the half. The Cubs and Huskers battled back and forth as the game was tied 48-48 with five minutes to play. Senior Guard Breane Meierhofer gave the Cubs 50-48 lead with a short field goal, followed by a steal and a layup attempt by senior Paiten Schreiner who was fouled on the play. Schreiner made both freethrows to stretch Kimball's lead to 52-48 with less than four minutes to go. Kimball built the lead late with a putback layup by Allie Seth, then a made free-throw by senior guard Kenadi Mackereth, and a crucial offensive rebound off the second free-throw from senior center Kaylee Petty. This led to the Cubs running a minute off the clock and finishing off the possession with a Petty field goal, extending the Cubs lead to 57-50 lead with just under one minute to play.
After some free-throws and scrappy baskets by the Huskers, Kimball finished the contest with a 60-55 victory. Senior Allie Seth led all scorers with
16 points, followed by Meierhofer with 15, Kenadi Mackereth scored 11 points, senior guard Paiten Schreiner 7, senior guard Raelynn Callander 4, junior guard Lexi Rose 4, Petty 2, and senior guard Casie Mackereth hit on one of two free-throws to round out the scoring. Steals leaders were Meierhofer 5, Kenadi Mackereth 3, Callander 2. Rebounding leaders were Seth with 5, Meierhofer and sophomore Madelyn O'Brien with 4 each. Meierhofer led the team with 5 assists, followed by Callander and Kenadi Mackereth with 3 assists each. Kimball's record moves to 5-3 (2-1 conference) as they practice over the holiday break, preparing for Maple Lake for Friday, Jan. 4, at Maple Lake. Go Big Blue!

Shu Ang Yao was never much for cooking until she moved to Macon three weeks ago.
After getting settled in a new loft apartment and beginning a teaching job at an elementary school, the 23-year-old began to crave the familiar pork heels, tofu and dried duck of her native home in the Jiangsu province, on Chinas eastern shore.
So last week, Yao got together with her young Chinese friends and traveled to the Pio Nono Avenue Kroger store, where Yao said they found almost all the ingredients they needed to cook authentic Chinese fare in their Macon apartments.
We got all these American vegetables and cooked them the Chinese way. Lots of potatoes and pork, she said. It tasted a little like home.
Yao and the 24 other Mandarin Chinese teachers who arrived in town earlier this month are still getting adjusted to life in Macon.
Although theyre here to teach Mandarin Chinese at the countys elementary schools, some of them admit that theyve still got a bit to learn themselves when it comes to living in the United States.
Everythings so much different here than I thought, and it hasnt been all easy, said Yongjie Zhao, 23, whos teaching Mandarin this semester at Vineville Academy. But Im thrilled Im here. Everyone wants to be here in America.
During an informational session Tuesday, the group emitted oohs and ahhs as the frigid rush of an air conditioner hit their backs. They joked among each other that those air machines would never get popular in China.
Carol Nelson works with Sierra Development, the Macon-based company that manages the loft apartment building where the Chinese teachers live. Nelson came to Tuesdays meeting to make the teachers feel more comfortable and answer any questions they might have.
Nelson reminded the Chinese teachers of some of the little things they must pay attention to. American shower curtains work in such a way that if you leave the curtain hanging over the outer edge while showering, water will spill onto the bathroom floor. Also, the lint filters on the dryers must be cleaned each time the machine is used.
Lint filters and dryers arent really used much in China, Nelson said. Things like that are important for them to know.
Yao and her friend Ting Liu, 25, said theyre liking their new Georgia home overall. The biggest problem theyve faced is finding transportation to grocery stores so they can buy groceries and prepare home-cooked meals.
It makes it a lot more difficult here if you dont have a car, Yao said.

Several companies have reported profits to be up in 2009 and particularly in Qtr 4 due to the sales of flu vaccines or related products. ABC News reported CSL net income was up 23% at $556 M on the back of flu vaccine sales for the first half of their financial year.
Likewise, in-PharmaTechnologist reported SAFC sales were up 18% in Qtr 4 as compared to prior year, due in large part to increased sales of its squalene adjuvant used in H1N1 vaccines.

Helping clear the path to self-sufficiency
Equipment and services for children with special needs can be very expensive - often cost prohibitive for families that most need the help.
Amway employees and distributors in Romania are helping to bridge the gap by providing funds to the Association for Support of Disabled Children in Romania. Last month, they donated $11,000 to the cause. The funds will go toward special equipment for children that require permanent care, as well as programs that help children with special needs to function in mainstream society.
Amway Romania has been supporting the Association since 2009 through support of summer and winter camps for children with special needs, providing Christmas gifts for children in the Association's care, and promoting fundraising activities among Amway Business Owners and employees.
Thanks to Didem Balcioglu for sharing this story.

Gwinnett County's elected leaders unanimously approved Thursday a $1.4 billion budget for 2013. As with previous years, there were cuts, tough choices -- and no pay raises for county employees.
But there also are signs that the economic woes that have plagued the county in recent years may be bottoming out.
District 1 Commissioner Jace Brooks of Suwanee, who is beginning his first full term on the board, noted that the Gwinnett tax digest is projected to decline about 1.9 percent this year. That would be the smallest such decline in recent years, and the reduction in tax revenues has been a major problem for Gwinnett budgets recently.
Brooks, who was on the Suwanee City Council from 2002-12, noted that that city did not experience the digest decline that the overall county did. He also cited the "size and complexity" of Gwinnett government as a difference in putting a budget together.
Commission Chairman Charlotte Nash, who is beginning her first full term, noted that it was the "most difficult budget process I've been through."
For 2013, county leaders had to contend with a new city (Peachtree Corners), service districts (mandated by the Service Delivery Strategy agreement) as well as the continued reduction in the tax base.
Nash said that when the budget process began last September, that the concerns were "more than just money. There were operational issues."
Perhaps the department hardest hit by the cuts was the library system -- $1 million in materials was eliminated. Also reduced sharply was the budget for parks and recreation.
Brooks said that the cuts "were not fun for anyone, but it's the reality that we face. There are discretionary and non-discretionary items."
As for future hope for the tax digest, Nash noted that bankers are starting to hear more from people "talking about the possibility of a loan."

Writing vs Rewriting

Today's weather forecast: Crazy Eights
Compared to other big American cities, we've always been pretty spoiled with square footage out here in Los Angeles. But if you ever feel like your place is too small, take a look at these images from Hong Kong. Your 700-square-foot apartment will feel palatial. These images of cramped spaces were commissioned by the Society for Community Organization. I don't know who shot them but find them really compelling. How the hell did the photographer shoot these? Was he strapped to the ceiling? I can't say I've seen anything quite like these intimate pictures showing how people live in tiny spaces with creativity and dignity.

Where to buy the best Italian sausage in Houston, Texas.
I like HEB's sweet Italian Sausages as well as just about any I can easily find.
Stupidly cheap too, (about $2.50 for five).
Here's a secret tip though, go to your nearest Candelari's pizza joint and sweet talk the hostess or manager into selling you a few of their links. They started out as an Italian Sausage maker and they are still the best. They don't sell them at the grocery anymore, though.
I haven't done it yet, but I have talked them into it. Give it a shot. If it works, you owe me one. If not, at least you can still order a sausage pizza.
re: DoobieWah
re: garyrwise
I contacted Candelari's main office (the one on Holcombe), and they were super nice. They said they would sell me all of the uncooked sausage I wanted. I visited them and tasted it, and I have to tell you, it was delicious. Unfortunately it was not the flavors I'm looking for. Needs more garlic, black pepper, and fennel seed. I will continue my search. Thanks.
re: frankboni
re: DoobieWah
Doobs, I also tried Candelari's and rejected it, twice. There's something about it that I don't like, plus I didn't like their pizza either. I really wanted to like it, but didn't. For frankboni, I know where to get the best Italian sausage, it's in Rochester, NY in a small meat market. Don't ask the name, because I don't know it. My ex turned me on to my first Italian sausage, and we used to bring it and white hots home in a suitcase packed in dry ice, charcoal it with bell peppers and onions, and wrap it in tortillas with hot sauce. I've never tasted better Italian sausage, and yes Doobs, HEB's is a steal, try it with tortillas and hot sauce.
re: James Cristinian
I'm willing to drive for the good stuff, but...
...Rochester, NY? Yeah...that's not happenin'.
I'll tell you how much I love Cendelari's.
When they opened up their restaurant over here on Memorial, I found a sense of deja vu about it but just couldn't place it. The name, the crown logo, just seemed familiar to me.
About my third visit, and with me asking these many probing questions, the manager finally mentioned that they had started life as sausage makers, and "Bingo", I remembered it. I used to be able to buy their sausages at the grocery store, (maybe twenty years ago), and I liked them so much that I had actually saved a label, and once in a while I would run across it. It's not framed in my living room or anything, but I would occasionally find it while looking for something else.
And sure enough, that was it. I suppose I should be embarrassed about taking so long to place it, but seriously, who saves sausage labels?!?
I guess I do.
Marchese Sausage sells theirs at the Sugar Land farmer's market and some other places around town, too. The "mild" has a slight kick, very flavorful, a nice amount of fennel.
So based solely on this thread, I decided to have Candelari's Pizza for game watching Saturday night, (Longhorns - Yes, thank you for your sympathy).
I picked up two of their thin crust, Euro Style, one pepperoni and one sausage. I also picked up a pound of their sweet sausages. A pound was three good sized links. I split one open and cooked it loosely for an al forno and the other two I cooked whole. I just nibbled a little of the cut one, but I thought it was outstanding - just like I expected.
The pizzas were great.
I'll do it all again.
re: DoobieWah
re: dragonfly
I tried Carrabba's sausage and I was very pleased, and the rest of my family agree. It's the best we have found locally. I was told that Ditta's Meat Market in Pasadena makes the sausage for all Carrabba's, but uses a Carrabba family recipe. I paid $5/lb.

Last Sunday's Grammy Awards were definitely a spectacular event to behold. Everything and everybody was a class act – particularly, Adele, sweeping six Grammy's and her show-stopping performance of "Rolling In The Deep." And, Jennifer Hudson's tribute to the late, great Whitney Houston was definitely a tear-jerker.
But, fashion was in high spirits that night, as beauty after beauty came out with fab outfits. My favourite was Rihanna's plunging neckline number by Armani – what a way to reinforce her sexy image, but still remain classy. Taylor Swift was a golden goddess in Zuhair Murad (as predicted by Ellen's Sophia Grace Brownlee!), and Jessie J was silver and stylish in a Julien Macdonald dress. Another highlight was Fergie's beautifully risque see-through orange couture lace dress by Jean Paul Gaultier.
A feast for my eyes is a feast for the soul. So I'm definitely fulfilled by everybody's sartorial choices at this year's Grammy Awards.

text: A few years ago I bought a cookbook titled "Kill It and Grill It" for my boyfriend, a Yale grad who hunted and fished. Admittedly, I offered the gift ironically. I'd been drawn to it by its cover photo of '70s rocker Ted Nugent and his wife, Shemane, each clad in a denim vest and clutching a rifle and knife, respectively. As a native of rural Michigan, I saw the image as both funny and dismaying. They kind of look like families I grew up with, I thought. But who buys a cookbook with a gun on it?

The Little Recognized Side Effect of the Broad Duty to Defend
As our first substantive liability blog, I want to talk about the duty to defend. Most attorneys recognize that the duty to defend is a broad duty – one broader than the duty to indemnify. But, the breadth of that duty has a side effect that some lawyers have not anticipated. If, after looking at the duty to defend, not a single allegation of the Complaint would raise a duty to defend, then by necessity, there cannot be a duty to indemnify. If the duty to defend is broader than the duty to indemnify, and analysis of the Complaint or claims against the insured show that there is no duty to defend, then there can never be a duty to indemnify.
In these cases, it is entirely appropriate for an insurer simply to disclaim coverage and, effectively, walk about from the claim or suit. There is no reason for the insurance carrier to remain involved if the duty to defend does not exist. I am often met with an objection when a defense is withdrawn of – "but you don't know what will happen." If the duty to defend does not exist, then what happens in that suit, where no duty to defend exists – is really a moot point. If the broad duty cannot exist, the specific duty of indemnity cannot exist.
Case law holds that this conclusion is based upon "logic and common sense," and the cases hold that logic and common sense dictate that if there is no duty to defend, then there must be no duty to indemnify. See e.g. American States ins. Co. v. Bailey, 133 F. 3d 363 (5th Cir. 1998).
Tennessee courts have long noted it is not uncommon that an insurer will have a duty to defend based on the allegations in the complaint, yet have no subsequent duty to indemnify the insured. St. Paul Fire & Marine Ins. Co. v. Torpoco, 879 S.W.2d 831(Tenn. 1994). I point this "twist" out because it has come up in a couple of my recent cases, where my client is challenging both the duty to defend and the duty to indemnify.
Although the focus of this blog was, and will remain, first-party insurance coverage litigation, many of our readers have asked if we are going to include third-party coverage litigation topics in the blog. While we initially wanted to remain "purists," so to speak, demand is such that we will create a separate "Category" entitled "Third-Party Coverage Issues" and will start blogging on these when first-party coverage litigation issues get a little slow or as the need arises. Our focus will remain first-party coverage litigation, but hopefully these new topics will prove helpful and provoke continued discussion.

Gettysburg: South Carolina in the FightOpen through June 1, 2014
July 1-3, 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, the bloodiest battle in American history with approximately 53,000 men killed, wounded, or missing. Combined with the loss of Confederate-held Vicksburg on July 4, 1863, Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War. On June 28, 2013, the South Carolina Confederate Relic Room and Military Museum will open an exhibit about the nearly 5,000 men serving in regiments from the Palmetto State that fought at the battle.
"Gettysburg: South Carolina in the Fight" examines the various roles of South Carolinians in Gettysburg Campaign. The exhibit displays the swords of Colonel William Davie DeSaussure, who was the highest ranking South Carolinian killed at the battle, and General Joseph Brevard Kershaw. Surrendered shortly before the end of the war to a Union cavalryman, this is the first known time that Kershaw's sword has returned to South Carolina since the war.
Also on display are numerous rifles carried in the battle, artillery projectiles, camp items used by General Wade Hampton, personal letters home, and memorabilia from the 1913 reunion. The artifacts come from the museum's own collection, private lenders, and Gettysburg National Military Park. The exhibit concludes with memorial walls listing the names of 539 men who were killed during the Gettysburg Campaign.
One of the most visually stunning items in the exhibit is the nearly life-size 21'x7' reproduction of James Walker's The Battle of Gettysburg: Repulse of Longstreet's Assault, July 3, 1863, which is part of the Johnson Collection in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The Little Things and the Big Thing About Baseball
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Mon, 06/21/2010 - 2:15pm
By Chris Potts
From the Spring 2010 Caller
The argument that "baseball is a game of little things" is, to me, unassailable, as is the philosophy that high school sports should be used as vehicles to teach students lessons that can carry them through the rest of their lives. Holding these truths in tandem, you quickly realize that the avenue to reach these larger lessons is to build a cohesive team, a community of ballplayers. Unfortunately, there's no handbook for this, there's no one way to do it. Just like baseball, it's putting all of the little things together in the right way.
When I interviewed for this job, I was told, "Baseball at Catlin Gabel is on life support." But when I first met the team, I realized that they were a great group of young players who needed somebody to give them some discipline, some foundation.
We're not a winning program. In my five years at Catlin Gabel, we've lost many more games than we've won. It's not even close. I would argue, however, that we're an extremely successful program. Each year, this group of students comes together. We've grown in numbers every year. Our baseball team is an inclusive and incredible, albeit unique, community.
What follows isn't that elusive handbook for team-building. It's a look at a few of the little things that we've done together.
Each year I choose a theme around which to build our team mentality. The theme for our first year was "Building Something We Can Be Proud Of."
When we won our first game, I worried that our players were so excited that they'd offend the other team. Then again, when you haven't won a baseball game your entire high school career, wouldn't you jump up and down and scream when you got your first "W?"
February 26—Manhood—Outside the gym, after practice, I pull one of the new players aside. He's been struggling this week. He's a good player (we'd say, "he's got a lot of upside"), but we need to rebuild some of his fundamentals. He's also never had to work this hard, physically, ever.
There's a big transition between middle school sports and high school varsity athletics. We'll be playing against 200-pound gorillas looking to play in college. Wrestlers. Linebackers. The kid I'm talking to is 14 and could probably make the scale hit 140 if I handed him a 20-pound dumbbell.
We do a lot of physical conditioning. The younger players typically take some time to adjust. During this physical adjustment period, the boy I'm talking with has lost all accuracy with his throwing. We'd say "he couldn't hit the ground if he dropped the ball." I've been playing catch with him during warm-ups to protect the other players. I've seen tears well up in his eyes during three of these first four practices. Time for a chat.
At one point in the conversation, I say, "This is why I love baseball, because you can learn lessons through the sport that you can apply to the rest of your life. Right now you need to learn to make the adjustment from 8th grade baseball to high school baseball. Just like how you're making the transition from 8th grade academics to high school academics. In both things you're going to have to get tough, you're going to have to work harder than you've ever had to before and you're going to have to learn to control your emotions. I think you can do it."
I do think he can do it. I need a #3 starter.
During my second year, the theme was "Playing the Game with Class."
March 1—Playing in the Mud—It's still a little wet to be using the whole field, but we need to put in defense and relays as soon as possible. The first game is two weeks away. The field is still holding too much water.
The players circle around the third base cutout, and we talk about the geography of our field. There are three layers. First, there's the soil underneath everything. That's what the grass grows out of. Surrounding the bases, there's a layer of clay that builds the foundation for the cutouts. On top of that is a top-dressing. I explain to the players that this stuff is baked at like 5,000 degrees so that it becomes porous and can absorb three times its weight in water. This, I believe, is the science portion of baseball.
We squat around the perimeter of the cutout, grabbing chunks of clay that we've churned up during defense and conditioning, and rolling them into balls. When we've grabbed the biggest chucks, I have the players throw them so that I can lay them out for one of my captains to tamp back into the clay foundation.
One of the sophomores says, "I get to throw mud at my baseball coach." I'm not too fond of how this sounds, but I don't think I can argue with him.
The theme of my third year was "Learning to be Competitive."
We drive a long way to get to some of the games. To the Pacific Ocean, literally. The team was shocked when I instituted the no-headphones, noelectronics, human-interaction-only rule. "Why can't we listen to our iPods?" The answer was no.
In deference to my totalitarianism, a group of students began singing on the bus rides home. They got very into it, going so far as to print out lyrics.
It was awful: adolescent boys screeching the lyrics to Britney Spears, NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys. It was an assault on human musical aesthetics. It was the sound of my group of boys coming together. It was music to my ears.
The dynamics always change after our first road trip.
During my fourth year, our theme was "Working as a Team."
Close to the deadline for this article, I get an email from a former player. He's hoping to be in town and catch the end of a Friday double-header. I want him to come to the game, to cheer us on, and for the younger players to realize that they're a part of something bigger than the second game of a double-header.
This year's theme is "Respect for the Game."
April 26—Heart—An unusually large wet-weather system has rolled in. We're in the gym, hitting practice balls, tennis balls, softies, and whiffles. We're looking ahead at the season: 8 tough games in 11 days. The arms are ready. Though we're having difficulty getting on base, I'm fielding the best defense in my time at Catlin Gabel. We've seen each of the teams in our league. We know we're the underdogs, but there's a palpable sense that we can put it all together and make a run at the playoffs. I'd say our biggest asset is our cohesiveness. This team is all heart.
Chris Potts is an outdoor education teacher at Catlin Gabel and is in his fifth year as the head baseball coach.

Here's a new concept for you.
Twice baked 'taters.
Except you bake. Then grill.
(Instead of bake twice.)
And when I baked mine, I did so in the slow cooker [5]…out on the porch (a trick I learned from Lynn [6] when I was pregnant with Tyler…I couldn't stand the smell of cooking food, so I'd put the slow cooker out on the porch to cook and I didn't have to smell it and get queasy. This trick works great in the summer when you don't want to heat up the kitchen.)
I've been thinking about twice baked potatoes for some time, but couldn't figure out how to do them in the summer time without turning my kitchen into a oven.
The answer was simple. Bake in the slow cooker. Bake on the grill.
Love. love. love. the smokey flavor they take on from being grilled! And love that I got to use my wild chives [7] from the garden too!
Twice Baked-Grilled Potatoes
Yield – 6-8 servings
Preparation Time – 20 minutes
Cooking Time – 1 hour to bake, 15 minutes to grill
- 8 baking potatoes
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper
- Shredded cheese, whatever variety you prefer
- Chives, for garnish
- Bake the potatoes…in the oven, or in the slow cooker [5].
- Slice the potatoes in half lengthwise and scoop out the flesh.
- Make mashed potatoes with the butter, sour cream, garlic powder with some salt and pepper to taste.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes back into the shells. Top with shredded cheese.
- Place the shells onto a grill skillet or mesh basket and place over indirect heat on the grill for 10-15 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
- Serve alongside your favorite grilled meats and grilled corn [8].

Thank goodness Bichette's swing looked prettier in the several weeks between High School and the GCL. Where would we be if that didn't happen?
Yes, because high school coaches and the professional coaches of the Yankees are of equal talent.
Did you read his scouting report? I guessing not, otherwise you would have read how he said that the swing has changed; Bichette even mentioned it.
But, no you are totally right. Players never change anything and never try to improve their swings/motions/deliveries.
The scouting report that Keith Law wrote made Keith Law sound like he was right last year even though he said the exact opposite thing? Shocking I tell you.
He started in the GCL weeks after graduating high school. You think the disparity between coaches is the reason he was able to maintain his high level of play? I think it was because he was a first round talent that Law was wrong about. I think that even if he tweaked his swing, it would have taken longer to improve/change his game. He hit the ground running mere weeks after high school when Law determined he wasn't much of a prospect.
I liked how you skipped over the part were Bichette said he changed his swing.
JK: After you were drafted, did the Yankees change anything about your swing? Did they make any adjustments?
DB: Not at all. The Yankees have this rule where they are not allowed to touch you for 100 or 90 days, something like that. My hitting coach Edwar Gonzalez, he wasn't allowed to say anything, but I was trying to pick his brain within the first week. He didn't change anything in my swing though. So no adjustments. The big thing is getting adjusted to the pitching. It's a lot different in pro ball than in high school, competition and speed of the game.
Just once, I'd like to hear a promising young player say "I'm focusing on getting injured more often this year. So I can sit on the couch, eat cheese doodles and dial up the local escort service"
I'm sure a player has said that. I think the hearing part would be the problem.
Actually didn't Denny Neagle say that exact thing? I don't think he was a prospect when he said it though.
It'd be a great April Fools joke.
"So tell me, Mason, what are your goals for the upcoming season?"
"Well, I want to get injured as often as possible. Maybe then people like you will just leave me alone so I can pull a Pavano and munch on Cheeze-Its while I watch TV all day and still get paid."
Klaw was at last night's game. Had some nice things to say about Mason, Tyler, Gary, and Dante (based on his BP session). Didn't really like DeLeon.
Has he warmed on Gumbs?
I have never heard him talk about Gumbs. I know he's not too fond of Culver. He didn't mention either of those two. Only guys he mentioned were Mason, Bichette, Austin, Gary, and DeLeon.
I think he's said in the past that Gumbs' swing won't translate to the bigs. Or something like that.
At this point I'm still just hoping his swing translates to SALLY.
I've seen Gumbs play a few times last year. His defense at 2b makes Alfonso Soriano look like a gold glover. Not sure if he's any better this year.
He didn't even mention Culver in his write-up in a column that he said he was a review of the Yankees top prospects in Charleston. I think that pretty much says what he thinks of Culver.
How 'bout them Yanks???!!!
That's…a lot of errors in Charleston. Hopefully just a fluke and they don't all turn out like Nunez. Tighten up!
That's the Sally League for you.
It almost feels silly to ask, since it's Low A, but does the fact that Mason has only walked twice so far matter? Even a little?
If he was striking out and hitting poorly, I would start to be concerned, but he's raking right now. No need to change your approach or swing if you are hitting the ball all over the place.
he is batting over 300. would you rather he bated 250 and walked.
Glad to see Bichette is over getting his balls bruised…now he's gunna go back to tearing up baseballs

It is a gift. Some call it true talent. You could also refer to it as the X-factor. Any way you describe it, two students were recently recognized for having "it."
McCollum High School freshman Paula Cortez was surprised Thursday when a camera crew from WOAI-TV showed up to present her with a special award. The 14-year-old was voted as the Best Local Singer in the station's Best of San Antonio awards. All nominees are posted online, then, it's up to viewers to log on and vote for their favorite.
A former Harlandale High School student earned national recognition Thursday night when she performed on "The X Factor." Twenty-two year old Jessica Espinoza wowed the judges with her performance of Pink's "Nobody Knows." She received nothing but applause and praise even from lead judge Simon Cowell who said, "I don't like you. I love you. I love everything about you...You sang for your life."
Congratulations to both young ladies!

St Nicholas event in York brings in £10m
10:26am Saturday 12th December 2009 in Business By Jeremy Small
TOURISM chiefs say this year's St Nicholas Fayre was "the best ever", estimating the event brought about £10 million pounds into York's economy.
Visit York said the fayre was the best for the number and quality of markets and events happening around the city, such as the presence of members of Deliciously Yorkshire selling local farm produce. A Visit York spokeswoman said: "The quality of the event is continuing to grow year on year."
The organisation estimated around 150,000 people flocked to the four-day Christmas event, which took place from November 26 to 29.
It calculated the economic impact of the fayre, which has been running since 1992, based on visitor spend and spend on overnight accommodation was around £10 million.
The event, which was organised by City of York Council, boasted an array of markets across the city centre featuring gifts and crafts from across Yorkshire and the UK. Visit York said people came from across the UK to visit the atmospheric market festival, including from the Midlands, the North West, the South East, and Scotland and Wales. Gillian Cruddas, chief executive of Visit York, said: "This year's St Nicholas Fayre has proved as popular as ever with visitors and residents alike, and continues to be a major highlight in York's Christmas calendar. "York's festive season continues until the end of December with the Festival of Angels this weekend, the International Christmas Fayre in Parliament Street running until December 20 and the Farmers Market on December 22, as well as a whole host of other festivities running across the city.
"With so much to offer visitors at this time of year, we're confident that York is set to have a very successful Christmas season."

With that amount of revenue coming into the city it's a pity some of it can't be spent on decent christmas lights
If they paid towards some decent lights then more people would come to the city spending more in shops and staying overnight.
Speculate to accumalate is lost on our shopandhotel bosses.

Coaches did register with the council and they were directed to Bustardthorpe as Georges field was flooded.
The coaches that parked everywhere were coaches that dropped people off at the station and Memorial Gardens then went and found there own parking arrangements rather than pay the council £20 to park at Bustardthorpe.
The council spend all year contacting coach companies regarding St Nicks Fayre, most are happy to oblige and pay but some "chance" it and cause chaos to Yorks traffic system.

Using the Armed Forces Vacation Club to locate and reserve a luxory condo for your next leave/vacation is simplicity itself.
If you've never used them before, you must first call the Armed Forces Vacation Club at 1-800-724-9988. The hours of operation are Monday through Friday 0700 to 2400, Saturday 0900 to 2000, and Sunday 0930 to 2000 hrs (Eastern Standard Time). If you can't call an 800 number from your location, their local phone number is 1-317-805-9975. This is a toll call, so you will have to pay any phone charges.
Before you call the first time, you will need to look up the Installation Number for the base you are stationed at (if you're retired, look up the number for your favorite military base). This is because the local base Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Agency gets a portion of every rental fee.
When you call the first time, the kind folks at the Reservation Center will issue you an account number and password. Write this down somewhere safe. You can then use this information to log onto the Armed Forces Vacation Club Web Site and make your reservations online.
If you prefer not to use the internet to make reservations, you can use the web site to locate available condo rentals, then reserve the condo by calling the phone number shown above. When making a reservation, you need to have the following information handy:
- Your name
- How many people are traveling with you
- Your Branch of Service
- Your Installation Number
- The location (and name) of the Condo you wish to reserve
- The Dates you wish to reserve
- Your credit card number
Condos may become available to Armed Forces Vacation Club Members anywhere from 2 to 365 days in advance of the check-in date. As soon as they become available, they're listed on the web site and can be reserved. Once a reservation is made the unit is taken out of the available reservation pool and the unit is yours. The reservation is guaranteed. Reservations are made on a first-come-first-served basis, so a high demand location may be available in the morning, but gone by that afternoon.
A word of warning if you plan a vacation to Mexico or the Caribbean: Some resorts in Mexico or the Caribbean are "all inclusive" resorts. This means the resort provides all meals, beverages, entertainment, and sometimes daytrips, just like on a cruise ship. Anyone who stays at an "all inclusive" resort pays a per person fee for this service (in addition to the $329 per week rental fee). At some resorts this is optional. At others it is a mandatory fee. Even condo owners at these resorts must pay the fee when they stay in their own property. This fee can be very high, sometimes up to $1,000 for the week. All-inclusive conditions and rates are set by the resort and the Armed Forces Vacation Club have no control over them. These resorts are well-marked on the web site, and vacation counselors will ALWAYS warn you if you make a reservation over the phone. If you don't want to pay these rates, you'll have to choose another location which is not listed as "all inclusive."
All in all, you'll have to look hard to find a better vacation deal on a military budget. Now, if you'll excuse me, I hear the bikinis....um....I mean the beach, calling me.

A Fair Lawn man was arrested this week after he allegedly broke into his roommate's secured bedroom, stole his roommate's credit cards and identification, and used them to make fraudulent purchases, police said.
Sean Riffel, 25, is charged with two counts of burglary and single counts of theft of movable property, fraudulent use of a credit card, identity theft and criminal attempt.
Riffel is accused of stealing from his roommate on two separate occasions within a 10-day period.
In the first instance, on Jan. 20, he allegedly made off with his roommate's wallet, driver's license, credit cards and personal checks, police said. Sgt. Richard Schultz said Riffel impersonated his roommate to make fraudulent credit card purchases in town and also wrote out checks to himself that he then cashed.
Police responded to Riffel's Plaza Road residence again on Jan. 29 for another reported theft, Schultz said. This time, Riffel's roommate -- the victim -- reported that someone had entered the apartment while he and Riffel were out and stolen an iPhone and a skateboard, according to police reports.
Detective Timothy O'Shaughnessy developed evidence that tied Riffel to both thefts and an additional attempted break in of a neighbor's house, Schultz said.
In the attempted break-in, Riffel allegedly tried to get in through a Plaza Road neighbor's kitchen window, but was unsuccessful, Detective Lt. Michael Uttel said.
Riffel, who was arrested and charged Monday, remains in Bergen County Jail on $20,000 bond with a 10 percent option.

About the Goucher Society
At a time when society's acceptance of higher education for women was just emerging, John Franklin and Mary Fisher Goucher led the drive for the establishment of a liberal arts college for women, contributing land and money for the 1885 founding of what would become Goucher College.
The John Franklin and Mary Fisher Goucher Society was established to recognize donors whose contributions to the college honor the evolution of their dream and underwrite the spirit of excellence and innovation that are the hallmarks of a Goucher education.
Today, membership in the Goucher Society is more than 500 strong and includes alumnae/i, parents, and friends representing the college's diverse generations and student backgrounds. The generosity of Goucher Society members accounts for more than three-fourths of unrestricted giving to the Greater Goucher Fund, a major portion of which is used to support financial aid and international travel stipends for students.
In celebration of Goucher College's 125th birthday, Goucher Society members invite other leadership supporters to join their ranks by making a gift to the Greater Goucher Fund in any of the recognition levels detailed below.
Inaugural members of the Goucher Society receive an attractive and convenient Goucher blue leather travel portfolio to acknowledge their philanthropic support.
The generosity of members of the Goucher Society sets a shining example that inspires others. Members contribute $1,250 or more to the Greater Goucher Fund within a 12 month period. Within the Goucher Society, the college recognizes alumnae/i who contribute any amount to the Greater Goucher Fund within their first 10 years after graduation. Leadership giving by alumnae/i is recognized by the Associate Members of the Goucher Society.
