vacation rental description
Enjoy the View
Step into the living room of The Beachside Retreat. Relax in the lazy-boy style turquoise chair or hide-a-bed while feasting your eyes on the panoramic view of Puget Sound, the Seattle skyline, and the Cascade Mountains. Look past the porch of the family's 1900 home and you might see Mount Rainier in all its glory.
You have a good view of the fishing pier, the boat launch, and the picnic tables at the park.
Use the coffeemaker or the waffle iron, blend up a smoothie in the blender. Heat up the sausages in the microwave and take your fruit or juice out of the refrigerator. You'll find a fully equipped kitchen with oven and range and pans for baking, roasting, or broiling.The barbeque is outside, so you might eat outside at the picnic table. Dress up the dining table with placemats and use the vase for flowers. If you don't feel like cooking, walk over to the Family Inn and let someone else broil you a steak or fry fish and chips, salad and more. The Family Inn serves lunch and dinner and is open for breakfasts on summer days and Tuesdays and weekends the year around. The Pub serves pizza.
Your Vacation Home
Stretch out on the hide-a-bed. Flip on the light and read, choose a game to play, plan where to tour. Pick a video to watch on DVD or VHS, or just watch a television program.
The nightstands, chest of drawers, an extra television, and the ironing board are all in the bedroom. Turn the thermostat to the temperature you like. It is located in the hall.
When you take a shower you will enjoy having a curved hotel style rod. Take a bath if you prefer. Reach under the counter and you'll find the hair dryer.

That's around 35 percent of its total brick-and-mortar presence of 850 stores.
Around 3,000 employees will be laid off as a result of the closings, according to a spokesperson from parent company Dish Network.
"We continue to see value in the Blockbuster brand and we will continue to analyze store level profitability and — as we have in the past — close unprofitable stores," the spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times.
Dish acquired Blockbuster back in a 2011 bankruptcy sale. At that point, the chain operated around 1,700 stores.
The company had planned to leverage Blockbuster's brand name to push its streaming service to compete with Netflix and Redbox.

Once content to revive the careers of Charo and The Village People, the Sonoma County Fair has revamped its musical strategy over the last few years.
Whereas other county fairs keep banking on corn-dog nostalgia, recycling bands like Tower of Power, Rick Springfield, Loverboy and the Marshall Tucker Band year after year, the Sonoma County Fair has filled the country-music void left behind by the demise of Konocti Harbor in 2009, going after current top-selling country acts and then mixing in a handful of rising Disney Channel stars and well-known Latino bands.
Last year, it was Martina McBride and Miranda Cosgrove. The year before, Trace Adkins.
This year, the twang rolls on with country phenom Hunter Hayes and the party boys in Florida Georgia Line.
Here's a quick run through the sounds of this year's fair:
Hunter Hayes: In a genre littered with singers only singing other people's songs, Hayes writes his own music and plays every instrument on his albums. At 21, he's a country whiz kid. Coming off a stellar 2012, where he was named Country Music Association's Best New Artist, Hayes has been burning his way across the country this summer, playing everything off his latest album, from "Storm Warning" to "Somebody's Heartbreak," and even covering the Police's "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic." Endless touring and hard work to win over new fans kept his 2011 debut album on a steady trajectory to the top of the charts. It took the self-titled "Hunter Hayes" a record 89 weeks to hit No. 1 in June, breaking the previous slow-climb record of 51 weeks set by the Dixie Chicks for "Wide Open Spaces" in 1999. Then it was knocked off a few weeks later by fellow Sonoma County Fair musicians Florida Georgia Line. 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 6. $25-$40. sonomacountyfair.com.
Florida Georgia Line: Just when you thought their massive No. 1 hit, "Cruise," was starting to fade away and slide down the charts, along comes the hip-hop remix by rapper Nelly and suddenly the lyrics, "Baby you a song, you make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise," are taking over country summer radio all over again. For two country boys who grew up raising hell not far from this Southern state line, it's been a dream, and they're making the most of it out on tour with Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift this summer. But here's the catch. When they open for headliners, they only play 25 minutes a night. At the Sonoma County Fair, they'll get to stretch out and play a lot longer. With Pete Stringfellow opening. 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 7. $25-$35.

Not bad M. I like that city sketch too, though I prefer the first version. The darker foreground and strong diagonals bring you into the picture more and make make you feel the scale more.
really cool, i like it. Just one idea, you could give some fog for left leg for better deep.
needed to redo entire city scene, here is new version with Laurence(Matrix) Fishborne , still wip
Very nice M. Only crit I could give is maybe there needs to be a bit more reflections on the window overlooking the city, unless it is a balcony of some sort without a window.
Awesome update!

July 18, 2007 — This is a tale about politics, influence, money and murder. It began more than 40 years ago with a bloodletting so massive that no one quite knows how many people died. Half a million? A million? Through four decades, the story of the relationship between the
Speaking alongside Indonesia's defense minister in Singapore last month, U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said the White House intends "to deepen the strategic partnership" between the two countries.
Given what that partnership has led to over the past four decades, it a profoundly disturbing statement.
The Back-Story
The Washington-Jakarta narrative begins in 1965 when the Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) — the Indonesian Army — massacred as many as a million Indonesian leftists in a bloodletting in which the
When Suharto, the dictator who took over after the 1965 massacres, decided to invade the former Portuguese colony of
A Dismal Record
Through six U.S. presidents — Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Bush, and Clinton — the TNI had carte blanche to brutally suppress autonomy movements and murder human rights activists in Aceh, Papua, and East Timor. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, the Justice Department, and the State Department, the TNI also engaged in violence and oppression against women, threats to civil liberties, child exploitation, religious persecution, and judicial and prison abuse.
After more than 30 years of either encouraging or turning a blind eye to the savagery of the TNI, the Clinton administration and the UN finally intervened to stop the rampage unleashed on the Timorese when they had the effrontery to vote for independence in 1999. However, before the force of mostly Australian troops could land, TNI-sponsored and led militias killed some 1,500 people, destroyed 70% of East Timor's infrastructure, and deported 250,000 Timorese to Indonesian West
Indonesia has refused to hand over any of the TNI officers currently charged for crimes against humanity for leading the 1999 pogrom or taking part in the brutal suppression of East Timor from 1975 to 1999. Indeed, many have been reassigned to places like West Papua, where
"It is shocking that a government supposedly committed to military reform and fighting impunity would appoint an indicted officer to a sensitive senior post in Papua," Paula Makabory, spokesperson for the Institute for Human Rights Study & Advocacy-West Papua told the Australian Broadcasting Company. A coalition of human rights organizations is demanding that Indonesian President Susilo Yudhoyono withdraw the appointment and suspend Siagian from duty.
Friends in High Places
Starting in 2001, Indonesia began a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign — abetted by the White House — to lift the ban on military aid to Indonesia. A leading force in that campaign is Paul Wolfowitz, disgraced former head of the World Bank and ambassador to
The lobbying worked, and sanctions were gradually relaxed. Military aid more than doubled from 2001 to 2004. In 2005, saying that "a reformed and effective Indonesian military is in the interest of everyone in the region," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice lifted the last restrictions on military aid. Part of the "reforms" Rice referred to require the TNI to divest itself of its vast economic network, which accounts for 70-75% of the military's funding. The TNI runs corporations, mining operations, and cooperatives.
Although a 2004 law indeed requires the TNI to divest itself of its holdings by 2009, a loophole allows the military to keep "foundations" and "cooperatives." According to Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono, 1494 out of the TNI's 1500 businesses are "foundations' or "cooperatives."
"The core problem with addressing impunity [of TNI commanders] is that the civilian government has no control over the military while they do not control their finances," Human Rights Watch researcher Charmain Mohamed told Radio Australia, "and on this key issue Yudhoyono has clearly failed."
While the military continues to resist efforts to reform, anger at the TNI's penchant for violence is growing. In late May, Indonesian Marines opened fire on
The shootings have angered some important political figures. Djoko Susilo, who sits on the powerful Defense Committee, accused the military of using "weapons, bought with money from the state budget to kill their own brothers," and the important Islamic Crescent Star Party denounced the killings. Abdurrahman Wahid, a former president and the leader of the National Awakening Party, says his organization intends to file civil suits against the Navy. The Missing Person and Victims of Violence organization is petitioning the government to move the case from military to civilian courts.
The TNI's track record has also angered some in the U.S. Congress. Representatives Nita Lowey (D-NY) and Chris Smith (R-NJ) are currently leading a campaign to cut the Bush administration's proposed aid package because of

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona wildlife officials say residents should leave desert tortoises in the wild.
The Arizona Game and Fish Department recently announced that last year 71 desert tortoises were turned over to their office.
Officials say every year well-meaning people turn over desert tortoises to the department but eventually captive tortoises can't be returned to the wild.
The department says captive desert tortoises pose threat to wild tortoise populations by way of upper respiratory disease.
The desert tortoise, when left undisturbed, can live to be 100 years old. They weigh about 7 to 13 pounds and lay up to 15 eggs between the months of May and July.
The tortoise is a protected species in Arizona.

Dizziness Diagnostic Device (D3)
Johns Hopkins University, 2008 - $17,000
This E-Team is developing a motorized head-moving device that effectively diagnoses dizziness. Dizziness is the number one medical complaint among the elderly and the third most frequent complaint that brings people to primary care and emergency rooms. Dizziness often leads to falls, which can be fatal or cause serious bodily injury, and result in billions of dollars in health care fees. While many causes of dizziness are treatable, current diagnostic techniques are complicated, costly, and uncomfortable for patients.
The team's device, D3, is simple, user-friendly, and reliable. The patient wears a helmet and places a "bite bar" in their mouth that has been molded to their dentition. A video camera monitors eye rotation responses while head is rotated.

You are here
You have to have some skin in the game…
Comments welcome on this page. See Rules of Conduct.
You have to have some skin in the game…
At the Ohio SBDC we train and advise entrepreneurs and small business owners at every stage of business from those that only have an idea and need guidance on how to develop it into a business to established, existing businesses seeking expansion or in financial hardship. We run the gamut. Undoubtedly the most challenging to work with are those that are just starting out.
They are passionate. They believe their business is the best thing that has happened to the human race since the invention of indoor plumbing and that's a good thing because passion is important in business especially in the beginning stages. You have to believe in what you're doing because the investment necessary to develop your business is going to be great. And while your product or service could eventually become the game changer you believe it is, the reality is… much of the investment you're seeking will come from you alone. This is a tough realization for many first time business owners to accept and applies to not only the need for financing but also expertise that lies beyond their own skill set.
Case in point: Twice in recent months I've worked with or encountered entrepreneurs in the early start-up stage of their businesses that were trying to establish a web presence. Both of these individuals were in need of the technical expertise to develop a website but was neither willing to pay for it to be done nor willing to personally develop the necessary skill set. The first entrepreneur confided that they had the money but didn't feel this was something they needed to pay for. The second entrepreneur was contracted to create a website on behalf of another business owner. Similar to the first, they didn't want to pay someone else to do it as that would reduce their profit from the contract but again did not personally possess the knowledge to develop a website on their own (Obviously there are some other issues that need to be addressed in this second scenario but that's another post for another time). In both of these cases, the entrepreneurs knew individuals that could provide these services at a substantial savings below market but instead of paying, they were unsuccessfully trying to leverage their relationships with these individuals to secure the services for free.
First and foremost an entrepreneur must acknowledge that it is not possible to be all knowing; they cannot realistically possess all the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to build, manage and grow a successful business without the willingness to devote some resources to the cause. Secondly, while bootstrapping* is a viable and recommended method for start-ups strapped for financing, taking it to the extreme by refusing to pay or otherwise compensate for needed services could be detrimental to the health of your business and associated relationships.
When your business is in need of a product or service as in this scenario, allow me to offer some advice:
Understand the value of the finished product or service to your business and be willing to dedicate a commensurate level of resources.
In today's environment telephone books are obsolete, consumers can locate merchants, products and services with a few keyboard strokes and online reviews equivalent to the value of "word of mouth" referrals are readily available. Many times the decision to purchase is made before a customer steps into a store. Because of this the legitimacy of your business and the quality of your product or service will initially be judged by every visitor to your site who is new to the company. Cutting costs / resources here could be harmful and limiting to business growth.
If you don't have the money to contract out the service or the skill set to do the work yourself, find someone who does and barter equivalent level services.
Develop the skill set yourself
Now you won't be able to pull an Eddie Murphy and play the role of every employee in your company but there may be areas where it would be beneficial for you to develop your knowledge base. Marketing / managing your online presence, as in this example, would be a good one to consider for maintaining brand consistency and developing relationships with your customer base. There are many local low cost to free training opportunities available via the SBA, and the Small Business Development Centers* as well as community colleges* and of course resources available through your local libraries.
Be selective when calling in favors
While you may have friends and family who have the skill set you need, be selective when calling in favors and don't make these free favors part of your overall operating strategy. Realize the value of the time and work done for your request. Show your appreciation, compensate whenever possible and be cautious in how often favors are requested. Family, friends and your business network are some of your most valuable assets in your personal and business life…conserve them.

Definitely agree! We need to keep white, let Rice walk, start Ruud and get the youth on the field. We certainly have to play white more just because he could be gone this year and we need every look at him we can get. Do exactly as you say Toddybuc.
BBG I am with you on that as well. We need to part ways with Rice, this is the right time to do so. Can he still play? Yes! Can he be a factor? Yes! Will he be more a concern next year? Yes! Could we get something in return that would better the team? Yes!
The defense looked so much better without Rice. Quarles has not played bad but Ruud looked good out there. I wonder how good Dewayne White - Wyms (when healthy) combo will be if both are on the field? I am intrigued by that.

Oracle Universal Content Management lives up to the name
Oracle UCM 10g R3 scores high with Microsoft integration, comprehensive search, and new Ajax tool for organizing Web sites
The Web interface to UCM, a personalized portal for each user, now includes a leaner look and context-specific menus. Search enhancements, however, make up the bulk of changes. The new query builder helped me create advanced queries without writing any complex Boolean logic. Moreover, it was easy to narrow searches using metadata that was associated with documents. UCM takes this a step further by employing metadata depending on circumstances or a person's role. For example, you can search for only items containing a product name that is in your workflow.
One popular search feature that UCM implements is Tag Clouds: Readers can browse keywords and see which are the most popular. Optionally, you can rate content to boost or lower its position in search results. Further, UCM generates an RSS feed for custom searches; these results are then saved in a personal search area of the portal.
Click for larger view.
I encountered Content Conversion Server, which is now a service-oriented architecture, throughout testing. For example, when browsing search results, UCM called this service to convert Microsoft Word documents into PDF and display them in a preview pane.
The new Oracle Web Parts for SharePoint worked without any catches. After logging into my test SharePoint server running the Oracle UCM Web Part, I uploaded documents to the UCM repository and also used UCM search. This useful integration allows users to store files in UCM, collaborate and manage these assets using SharePoint features, yet reuse this same content in Web sites or the company intranet through Oracle.
Easy Web CM
Managing Web sites is straightforward for several reasons. First, since they're being served from Content Server, you can take advantage of existing personalization and security. Second, a Contributor mode makes adding and editing content a breeze.

If you have followed the startling revelations about the scope of the U.S. government's surveillance efforts, you may have thought you were reading about the end of privacy. But even when faced with the most ubiquitous of modern surveillance, there are ways to keep your communications away from prying eyes.
First, instead of browsing the Internet in a way that reveals your IP address, you can mask your identity by using an anonymizing tool like Tor or by connecting to the Web using a Virtual Private Network. Additionally, you can avoid Google search by using an alternative like Ixquick, which has solid privacy credentials and says it does not log any IP addresses or search terms or share information with third parties.
When it comes to sending emails, if you are using a commercial provider that has been linked to the PRISM spy initiative, you can throw a spanner in the NSA's works by learning how to send and receive encrypted emails. PGP or its free cousin GPG are considered the standard for email security, and these can be used to both encrypt and decrypt messages — meaning you can thwart surveillance unless you are unlucky enough to have Trojan spyware installed on your computer.
Novice computer users learning how to use PGP or GPG may find it daunting at first, but there are plenty of tutorials online for both Mac and Windows users that can help guide you through the process. For journalists working with confidential sources, attorneys seeking to ensure attorney-client privilege, or others whose work requires secure communications, learning how to use PGP or GPG is an absolute necessity. Organizations seeking to protect themselves from email grabs could go one step further: They could take more control of their messages by setting up their own email server instead of relying on a third-party service, helping ensure no secret court orders can be filed to gain covert access to confidential files. And if you need to store private documents online, you can use Cloudfogger in conjunction with Dropbox.

Oracle decided to patch the flaw in an upcoming version, but not in existing ones, because the fix is very complex and backporting it could lead to other problems, Koret said in a second email sent to the Full Disclosure mailing list on Thursday. Oracle did not immediately return a request for comment.
The decision to publicly disclose details about the vulnerability, including instructions on how to exploit it, was taken after confirming with Oracle that the vulnerability had been addressed, Koret said. However, he added that the company told him it "was fixed in future releases of the product."
The researcher believes that receiving credits in Oracle's April 2012 CPU advisory for a vulnerability that wasn't fixed in the actual update was misleading and said that the company should stop doing this in the future.
However, Koret was credited in the "Security-In-Depth Contributors" section of Oracle's advisory which states that: "People are recognized for Security-In-Depth contributions if they provide information, observations or suggestions pertaining to security vulnerability issues that result in significant modification of Oracle code or documentation in future releases, but are not of such a critical nature that they are distributed in Critical Patch Updates."
Koret described several workarounds to mitigate the vulnerability without deploying a patch in his April 18 advisory. One was to disable the TNS Listener remote registration feature by setting "dynamic_registration = off" in the in the listener.ora configuration file.
However, this is not feasible for configurations that actually require the feature, like Oracle RAC clusters. "To apply this workaround with Oracle RAC environments one needs to implement load balancing at the client side, changing all the client's tnsnames.ora configuration file to add the complete list of Oracle RAC nodes," Koret said.

Resources – Covenants
COVENANTS for CONGREGATIONS and LEADERS
|For a congregation or a leadership team to be 'in covenant' with one another means that they have taken time to consider how they value each other and their common purpose and time to agree upon how they will be in good relationship with each other – and what that all means.
|A congregation, leadership team or and group working together benefits from taking time to talk about an understanding of how they will be together – what kind of covenant they agree to.
|The very process and conversation required to create a covenant can help a group or congregation steer clear of damaging conflict. Conflict may surely arise, but a group with an understood covenant can manage differences and conflict in healthy ways.
|There is a fine introduction to covenants on the UUA website.
|A good discussion of covenants, sample processes for creating them, and samples of various kinds of covenants for UU congregations can be found in Churchworks: A Well-Body Book for Congregations (available at the UUA Bookstore) and in Robert Latham's Moving On From Church Folly Lane (available from Amazon.com).
|The Mid-South District Board has an elegant covenant.
|For more assistance with covenants email Connie Goodbread (email@example.com), the Mid-South District Executive

Eastern Coachwhip
Photo Credit: Eric C. Soehren
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Masticophis flagellum flagellum
OTHER NAMES: Whip snake.
DESCRIPTION: Eastern coachwhips are nonpoisonous snakes belonging to the family Colubridae. This family contains the majority of living snakes and is distributed essentially worldwide. Coachwhips are one of the largest snakes in
DISTRIBUTION: Seven subspecies of coachwhips are recognized, which, as a group are widely distributed across the southern
HABITAT: Coachwhips are most often found in dry, relatively open areas. Throughout their range they are known from a wide variety of habitats, including, but not restricted to rocky hillsides, grassland prairies, desert scrub, thorn forests, chaparral, pine and palmetto flatwoods, coastal dunes, cedar glades, exposed rock formations, edges between woodlands and fields, and longleaf pine-scrub oak sandhills. In
FEEDING HABITS: Coachwhips are active primarily during the day, prowling through the woods and fields they inhabit. These snakes seem to have an exceptional tolerance to heat, remaining active during the hottest portion of the hottest days of the year, even in desert or dune habitats. Coachwhips are opportunistic predators, readily feeding on grasshoppers, cicadas, other large insects, lizards, other snakes (including venomous species), birds, and small mammals. They frequently hunt with their heads raised well above the ground. This posture likely makes it easier for them to spot the movements of their prey. Coachwhips apparently can smell their prey and follow scent trails like many other snakes. Unlike most snakes, however, they seem, ultimately, to locate their prey visually by keying on its movement. Coachwhips capture prey with their powerful jaws which have rows of inward slanting tiny teeth. They do not constrict their prey to kill it, but simply grab it and eat it alive. Coachwhips sometimes beat their prey against the ground or other hard surface to stun it. These snakes feed frequently due to their high activity level.
LIFE HISTORY AND ECOLOGY: Coachwhips are oviparous (they lay eggs) and clutch sizes average 10-16 oblong eggs (1-2 ¼ inches long) which have granular surfaces. Mating takes place in the spring with the female laying her eggs in June or July. Most clutches are located in rotting vegetation or logs and hatch 6 to 11 weeks after being laid. Hatchlings are typically 12-16 inches long and receive no known parental care. Newly hatched and young coachwhips are lighter colored than adults and have a pattern of dark bands across their backs. This banding pattern fades as it gets closer to the tail, and gradually fades completely with age.

A man is suing a Skokie dentist who allegedly dropped a metal instrument down his throat, causing it to get stuck in his stomach.
Bernard Bell filed the suit in Cook County Circuit Court Monday, charging dentist Toni Ellis Wolf and her business, Old Orchard Smiles, with medical malpractice after Wolf allegedly dropped a metal device known as a dental driver down his throat during a procedure.
According to the suit, Wolf was performing dental work on Bell on November 8, 2012, when she dropped a metal dental driver down his throat.
The suit states that Bell had to undergo several procedures--including X-rays, a CT scan and two endoscopies--to have the dental tool removed from his stomach.
In the suit, Bell claims that Wolf should have taken certain precautions--such as tying dental floss around the dental driver to retrieve it in case it falls or placing gauze in his mouth to keep anything from falling down his throat--to prevent the tool from entering his stomach.
The two-count suit charges Wolf and Old Orchard Smiles with medical malpractice and negligence and seeks more than $50,000 in damages.
A spokesperson for Wolf or Old Orchard Smiles could not immediately be reached for comment about the suit.

The songs in this collection are written and performed by the coffee farmers of the Peace Kawomera (Delicious Peace) Fair Trade cooperative in Mbale, Uganda. Jewish, Christian, and Muslim farmers work together to overcome generations of conflict and poverty. Village guitar groups and women's choirs sing to stress the transformative impact of Fair Trade prices and to encourage their neighbors to join the coffee cooperative. Accompanied with xylophone, drums, and other traditional instruments, these farmers sing of the benefits of interfaith cooperation and, through music, teach new cooperative members how to produce great coffee. J. J. Keki, the founder of the cooperative, says: "Use whatever you have to create peace! If you have music, use your music to create peace. For us, we have coffee. We are using coffee to bring peace to the world."

They're easy, the kids like them, and they don't take much thinking — and that's a good thing, because you probably don't want to know what's in the store-bought version. Weelicious's Catherine McCord's easy chicken nugget recipe only takes 15 minutes to prepare and 15 minutes to cook — and you know all of the ingredients. She says she likes to "make a huge batch and keep them in the freezer for future meals, so not only do they save on the expense of boxed nuggets but also the time it takes to go to the grocery to buy them."

Skip the freezer versions and try Sarah Carey's baked version that appeared in the April issue of Everyday Food. "Chicken nuggets are a classic kid meal, but adults love them, too," says Sarah. "These nuggets are baked, so you can enjoy them guilt-free. A three-step breading method — coating chicken pieces in flour, egg, and bread crumbs — seals in moisture and gives a crisp crunch without a lot of added fat."

Annabel Karmel says: "This delicious, quick, and easy-to-prepare beef stir-fry is bound to become a family favorite. It makes a great all-in-one meal." Source: LilSugar 34 / 80 35 1970s Tacos In the September issue of Everyday Food, Sarah Carey reminisces about her Aunt Colleen's tasty beef tacos. Sarah says, "The secret is in the filling: using a few bold flavors and zesty spices is just as easy as tossing in some store-bought seasoning packet and way more delicious! Now I make them for my kids on special occasions — like Monday-night dinner."

"They're delicious, but I was intent on making an equally appealing yet healthier version." And that she did. In her forthcoming Weelicious: One Family. One Meal (currently available for preorder), Catherine shares her cheesy chicken taquito recipe, which when served up with an avocado sauce for dipping, is a healthy (and tasty) alternative to the frozen and restaurant versions.

Wednesday afternoon, Rockies reliever Rafael Betancourt worked the ninth inning of a game against the Dodgers. Betancourt is presently the Rockies' closer, and he wound up with both a blown save and a win. For our purposes, though, what we care about is that he faced seven batters, and didn't hit any of them.
Okay, so in isolation, that's hardly remarkable. In the same game, Dodgers reliever Jamey Wright faced seven batters, and didn't hit any of them. Drew Pomeranz faced 28 batters, and didn't hit any of them. Clayton Kershaw faced 30 batters, and didn't hit any of them. Hit-by-pitches are fairly common, but they're not so common that you look for them in every game. If a pitcher goes a game without hitting a batter, you don't come away talking about how he didn't hit a batter.
But with Betancourt, context matters. He was a big-league rookie in 2003 with the Indians, and in his tenth game, on August 3, he hit Marcus Thames in an 0-and-2 count. There's no publicly-available video as far as I can tell. And really, why would there be? So I'm left to guess. Maybe a slider got away from him. Maybe he tried to tie up Thames inside and just missed. Maybe Thames was hanging over the plate.
Whatever the case, on August 3, 2003, Rafael Betancourt hit his first batter in the major leagues. That's also the last batter he's hit in the major leagues. After Thames, Ramon Nivar drilled a first-pitch triple to chase Betancourt from the mound. That was the first batter after Thames that Betancourt didn't hit. Wednesday afternoon, Jerry Hairston Jr. was the 2,262nd batter after Thames that Betancourt didn't hit.
And that's excluding the playoffs. I don't know why it's customary to exclude the playoffs, but Betancourt has faced another 49 batters in the postseason without hitting any of them.
It won't surprise you to learn that this is the longest active hit-batter-less streak in baseball. The second-longest active streak belongs to Rangers reliever Mike Adams, and his streak is very long, but it's also about half as long as Betancourt's. It's been a very long time for Rafael Betancourt.
Just for the sake of adding a little color, Jay Sborz is a right-handed pitcher. On June 22, 2010, he made his major-league debut for the Tigers, and that's still the only big-league appearance of his career. He faced seven Mets in the bottom of the third inning, in relief of Justin Verlander. He hit the first two of them. It took five pitches for Jay Sborz to hit more batters than Rafael Betancourt has in his entire major-league career.
Betancourt's on a hell of a run. And I guess one could've seen something like this coming - in the minors, he only ever hit two guys, both in 2001. He faced 872 batters. Yet still, his minor-league hit-batter rate is more than five times higher than his major-league hit-batter rate.
If you want to get an idea of how Betancourt has managed to keep from hitting a batter for so long, here are his pitch locations against left-handed batters since 2008. The image comes from Texas Leaguers.
It's laughable. He pitches over the outer half, and ... that's it. Just for the sake of comparison, let's look at another righty reliever. This is going to be free association. Uh, Jamey Wright? Sure, let's look at Jamey Wright.
That's more like it. That's more normal. We expect right-handed pitchers to work left-handed batters outside. We don't expect them to be quite as fanatical about it as Rafael Betancourt. This is the furthest inside he's pitched a lefty since the start of 2011. Read that again. This is the furthest inside Rafael Betancourt has pitched a lefty since the start of 2011:
It's so not inside it's practically a strike. The batter swung. The most inside.
Of course, Betancourt isn't like that with righties. I'll let the location chart do the talking, before I resume talking:
You see more pitches over the inner half. Not a whole lot of them, but more of them. Betancourt isn't a complete stranger to the inner half against right-handed batters. He's kind of a familiar-looking stranger, or an acquaintance. A guy the inner half has seen a few times at the neighborhood bar.
Here's the furthest inside Betancourt has pitched a righty since the start of 2011:
The batter's Willie Bloomquist, and he flinches and turns out of the way. In that respect, this was a close call for Betancourt's streak. But it wasn't that close of a call, and this might've been the closest call. The camera's at an angle. Straight on, we'd probably see that the ball missed Bloomquist by a number of inches.
Not too many people really care about the hit-by-pitch statistic. It's completely ignored when talking about a hitter's strikeout-to-walk ratio, and it's completely ignored when talking about a pitcher's strikeout-to-walk ratio. A hit-by-pitch is essentially a one-pitch walk. It should count for something, and when it's ignored, you can end up with misleading ratios. That's not an issue with Rafael Betancourt. Whether you count hit-by-pitches or ignore hit-by-pitches, the numbers don't change, because he's got one hit-by-pitch. He's got zero hit-by-pitches since hitting Marcus Thames in August 2003. Rafael Betancourt's streak isn't the most incredible streak in baseball, but it's very quietly among them.

Jamming with Jasilli: Stephen Levin grooves with his opponent (EXCLUSIVE)
It was just happenstance — and a shared passion for music, it turns out — that brought together two rivals one recent Wednesday night.
Councilman Stephen Levin, currently running on the Democratic ticket for re-election in the 33rd district, had just had dinner with a friend at Fornino's at Pier 6 in Brooklyn Bridge Park. They were strolling through the neighborhood and happened to pass Montero's, a little bar on Atlantic Avenue.
"I heard blues coming out of the bar and I thought that it was the juke box playing because it sounded like real, authentic, professional blues," Levin recalled.
He had heard that his opponent, Conservative candidate John Jasilli, plays guitar there, he said.
"So I peeked my head in and there was a guy, he was playing kinda down-home blues with a slide guitar and he had a couple friends with him and it was excellent," Levin enthused.
He and his friend decided to go in and take a seat. Levin still wasn't sure that the star musician was his opponent, until a mutual friend of both him and Jasilli came in and said, "You know, that's your opponent playing."
"So they invited me up to jam with Jasilli!" Levin exclaimed.
As Metro has previously reported, Levin is himself a former musician, and used to play in a band called Stylofone with a member of the indie rock group MGMT.
"I have some experience in rock and roll," Levin said modestly. "So I picked up a guitar. I said, 'What key do you want to play in?' And he said 'key of E,' and he took the lead."
Levin sounded almost smitten with Jasilli's musicianship, repeating what a "fun time" he had and what a talented musician his opponent is.
"He's excellent, he was an excellent blues guitar player and singer," Levin said. "It was a real pleasure to jam with Jasilli."
And there was a greater symbolism to the impromptu interaction, of course.
"It was a nice way to show that politics does not have to be contentious and acrimonious," the rocker-turned-councilman said. "If you get a couple of guitars and a mutual love of the blues, you can come together."
Levin said they parted that night on good terms.
"I wished him well," Levin recounted. "I told him that I would likely see him on Election Day but as soon as the election is over I look forward to going back to Montero and jamming with Jasilli again."
"He's really, really good," Levin added, unabashedly impressed.
It's been reported that Jasilli has a weekly gig at Montero, but no one answered the phone number listed for the bar. Levin said he's pretty sure Jasilli plays there on Wednesday — and he urged New Yorkers to go check him out.
"If you want to see some authentic blues, Mr. Jasilli at Montero is the place to go," Levin advised.
The Levin-Jasilli jam session was first reported by Gatemouth.

Primark evacuated in Golden Square after alarm triggered
Updated 3:01pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News
PRIMARK was evacuated as a safety precaution early this afternoon, Tuesday, when the shop's alarm system was set off by a customer.
Shoppers were seen crowding around the entrance to the Golden Square clothes store just before 1pm.
Ian Cox, Golden Square's manager, said: "Primark was evacuated as a precaution this afternoon as the result of the alarm system being triggered by a customer accidentally.
"The store promptly reopened to the public.
"The safety and wellbeing of our visitors is always our first priority."

One of the most dynamic free-agent talents available is joining the deepening MFC middleweight talent pool.
Jay "Da Spyda Killa" Silva has agreed to a multi-fight contract with the Maximum Fighting Championship and will make his debut at MFC 36: Reality Check to be held on Friday, February 15 at the Shaw Conference Centre in Edmonton, Alberta, and live on AXS TV Fights.
"Jay Silva is a huge talent, and can become an absolute wrecking machine in the Maximum Fighting Championship," touted MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich.
"The days are over when Jay took fights at the last minute, on short notice, and without a proper training camp. He knows he's fighting in February and I think you'll see the best Jay Silva ever. The rest of the middleweight division should take notice now because a rejuvenated, reincarnated Jay Silva is coming to the MFC."
Silva's first opponent under the MFC banner will be announced in the near future.
The 31-year-old from Huntington Beach, California, is coming off the most-celebrated victory of his career - a win which earned the new nickname he proudly sports. Silva took control of his matchup against Kendall Grove in the second round, scoring a takedown and then firing away from side control. With ease, Silva moved into a phenomenal arm-triangle choke and rendered Grove into an unconscious heap to score a dramatic technical submission victory.
But the jiu-jitsu skills learned under Renzo Gracie are far from Silva's only abilities in the ring. Of Silva's eight victories, five have been earned by way of knockout including his monstrous 33-second destruction of Jaime Jara in 2010. Silva, who is currently ranked 43rd in the world by Fight Matrix went the distance against hard-throwing Chris Leben, as well as in a short-notice, razor-thin outcome versus C.B. Dolloway.
Originally from Luanda, Angola and holding Brazilian citizenship, Silva will join the MFC's surging middleweight ranks, topped by reigning champion Elvis "The King" Mutapcic who captured the title at MFC 35 on October 26. The MFC's middleweight talent pool includes Joseph "Leonidas" Henle, judo sensation Luke Harris, Jason "The Savage" Zentgraf, and Jacen Flynn, with more names to be added in 2013.
