I didn't mean today, but maybe within the foreseeable future. Yes, really.
I watch the whole league. I have no ties to Charlotte, and no favorite team, but I am an NBA junkie, so I even watch and follow losing teams like Charlotte.
This franchise that has so much promise. They just need to get lucky once, but are doing everything to position themselves for that. Don't abandon your fandom now. There's much to be excited about here.
Here's a basic analysis of where your franchise is at.
From what I see, Charlotte is in the early stages of building a foundation for long lasting success. Don't let the record fool you. This isn't a dysfunctional losing franchsie like Sacramento or Washington.
This can be seen from having a solid front office. Cho doesn't make idiotic moves, and in the NBA, not making huge mistakes with your cap and roster is very important. Most teams can't really afford more than one major roster mistake.
A timely example is the Brooklyn Nets. They have a rich owner who wants to win at any financial costs, they're in New York City, they have Jay-Z's celebrity and connections (something players love), and now they're suck with that roster for the forseeable future. How can you skillfully improve that roster? It's really hard. They are who they are.
Charlotte's roster and cap is extremely flexible. You're lucky that you're not that good, like Orlando for example. The Magic seem to have found a good young coach, and their front office made it publicly clear that they were going to go the OKC route of rebuilding (a route that isn't as easy as OKC made it look). But Orlando signs Nelson and hasn't traded JJ Redick, so they're actually winning and in danger of being as low the #10 draft pick.
OTOH, Charlotte is positioned for a top 4 pick currently. Also, the (soon to be) Pelicans & Cavs have their stars returning from injuries, meaning the Bobcats will likely have a top 2 chance of winning the lottery.
So unless you can orchestrate a trade for a young great player, like James Harden, then you need high lottery picks.
Kyrie Irving was #1 in 2011. Anthony Davis was #1 in 2012. You need these sorts of guys to become a perennial championship contending franchise (ie. currently Heat, OKC, Spurs if healthy, maybe Clippers if CP3 resigns). If you really want to build something like OKC or San Antonio did, then you need top picks to find that dominant guy. You need to be lucky in the draft, it's that simple. So you want to be one of the worst 2 or 3 teams in the league to increase your odds and pray that you win the lottery, or hope for a draft with more than one Hall of Fame prospect, or hope somehow that teams pass on a Chris Paul (he was still drafted at #3). You can't get that excited about #7 or #9 picks (ie. Bobcats picks in 2011). It's so much more rare to get a franchise builder.
YOU MUST HAVE THAT FRANCHISE PLAYER. Without that, your GM must be unrealistically flawless, your coach perfect, your players always maxing out, a perfect bench, and no injuries. That's not going to happen. Dominant stars make life so much easier. You must maximize your chances of getting one, while you can. Charlotte hasn't gotten lucky in the past 2 drafts, and you may not have another chance after this year. Once your young core starts to develop, you could end up winning 30 games/year soon, and that'll be your core. I'm not sure the 2013 draft has a Kyrie or Davis, but it may your last chance at a guy like that.
So far, the Bobcats have done as well as one could hope.
Kemba Walker has been really solid for a #9 pick. Maybe he can develop into being part of a trio of stars, but you hope that becomes something like a Serge Ibaka, Chris Bosh, or Tony Parker (not a slight, as these are great players) than he is Durant, Lebron, or Duncan (perennial MVP guys).
Biyombo was the #7 pick. He's so young and raw that it's too early to judge him, but physically it looks like he'll have a place in the league. But currently I don't think anyone is thinking of him as a foundational trio.
MKG was the #2 pick, and despite how young he is and how raw he is, he's the best young piece this team has. The Pelicans got lucky with the clear #1 pick, and Detroit got lucky with the risky Drummond pick panning out so far. But among realistic #2 picks, it's early, but MKG seems to be a great pick. He's currently my ROY, and no one seems to be talking about him. Lillard is overrated (just watch him play defense, yuck), and Drummond & Davis may be better players now, but MKG is a freak somewhat like Gerald Wallace. He has the makings of an elite wing. To me, there are three guys from the 2012 draft that can become dominant players. Davis seems like the only lock, but Drummond and MKG at least have that potential. They're both producing now, as teenagers! That's insane.
MKG clearly has foundation potential, but he's not enough (not even Lebron was enough). Under these current rules, the most seemingly obvious way to build a perennial contender, is to have three stars. You can lock those guys up to multi-year deals at $10 million or more/year. You can get those secondary stars, but dominant guys (Lebron, CP3, Dwight Howard) seem to be flocking to the sexier franchise locations (NYC, LA, Miami). The small market contenders (Thunder and Spurs) built it from the ground up.
Note to Charlotte, you're in the embryonic stages, but all signs look good so far. You can't control the lottery, but imagine getting another young MKG level talent in the 2013 draft. A smart GM isn't enough. You need a top pick (& not a crappy draft class) to get that. If you're lucky, and that guy is a big man who can dominant defensively inside, then you have the makings for a rapid growth.
OKC's win totals by year during Durant's first 3 years:
- 2008: 20 wins (Durant's rookie year)
- 2009: 23 wins (Westbrook and Ibaka's rookie year)
- 2010: 50 wins (Harden's rookie year)
Charlotte's doing everything right in the early stages. Cho seems like one of the better GMs. It's early, but Dunlap seems like a decent coach. And MKG is basically a kid out of high school, producing on both ends at an above average level. Who knows how things will work out, but now is the time to invest your fandom.
After all, you will win the championship in the year ... oh wait, I don't want to spoil the surprise.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Helicopters and roses don't seem to have a lot in common, but this year in Portland, LifeFlight is celebrating its 35th anniversary, and commemorating the event by creating a float in this year's Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade.
LifeFlight is a non-profit owned by four health systems, including Providence, Legacy and OHSU. It was the first hospital-based flight program on the West Coast and it has no plans of slowing down.
Soon, LifeFlight will roll out the Augusta Westland 119 K-X, which boasts the latest technology for air ambulances. Fifteen of the choppers are set to join LifeFlight's fleet in the coming weeks. Because it is faster and bigger than the current units, it has the potential to save more lives.
Flight nurse Michelle Lavina gave FOX 12 a tour of one of the choppers they're currently using.
She said the new model will allow them to transport two patients instead of one.
The new addition is just one of the many successes the company is celebrating. This year marks its 35th anniversary.
When CEO Michael Griffiths took over six years ago, there were just two LifeFlight bases in the Northwest. There are now 15.
In celebration of its history, LifeFlight's float in the upcoming Rose Festival parade will feature the new chopper, but will also feature survivors who are alive today because of LifeFlight. The survivors will ride on the float with Portland Trail Blazers announcer Bill Schonely.
"I don't ever want to forget why we're here. We're here for one reason and that's to transport patients," said Griffiths, who began his career as a flight nurse and still jumps in the helicopter when the need arises.
"Actually, yesterday I worked in the helicopter. I think it's important. It allows me to continue to see that perspective," he said.
You can support LifeFlight through its subscription programs. Members pay an annual fee and get free flights if they're ever in need of an emergency transport.

If you purchased something with a brand-name logo on it recently, it may be counterfeit.
Kershaw County Sheriff's deputies arrested 65-year-old Frederick Bartlett of Elgin on a charge of trafficking in counterfeit trademarks Wednesday after a warrant was signed for his arrest.
Deputies say they seized $342,000 worth of counterfeit goods at his home. Among the trademarked logos on the goods: Monster Energy, Hollister, Harley-Davidson, Nike, Browning, Dodge, Ford, Chevy and various NCAA teams.
"He was putting Great Smokey Mountains, Pigeon Forge with the Browning symbol, which is a patented trademark, which is clearly illegal," said Jamey Jones with the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office.
The tip came from the Tennessee Attorney General after they found shipping labels at Bargain World in Gatlinburg that pointed them to Bartlett in Elgin. Investigators are asking stores who may have been buying from Bartlett to come forward.
Deputies say Bartlett was also heat pressing thousands of college and university logos on tee-shirts, sweatshirts, and pants."As you can see here the tags were cut, so he was buying them at a low, low cost," said Jones.In turn, selling them at the same price for real NCAA-licensed merchandise. Investigators found more Monster and Harley Davidson counterfeits than anything else, leaving the local dealership down the road stunned."We were really surprised to find out it was in our backyard but it was products likely like ours," said lead Motorclothes Consultant Trayci Brazell.Harley Davidson recently took steps so customers can tell a fake from genuine Harley gear."You want to make sure that you've got that sticker on the bottom of that merchandise to show you have licensed merchandise," she said.Tee-shirts from licensed distributors say so on two tags."The tag says Harley Davidson," said Brazell. "On the tag it will say manufactured by which licensee under license from Harley Davidson Motor Company."It's not the corporation that is hurt when counterfeits goods are bought."So this local business and this local person who was selling products we sell was talking right from a local business owner who own and hires people right here in this town," said Brazell.
"Come forward to tell us, 'You know, hey, we have dealt with this guy and we have this in our stores,'" said Jones.
Kershaw County investigators arrested Bartlett on March 6 and placed him in the Kershaw County Detention Center pending a bond hearing.

Hyndburn residents complain as 'turbines disrupt TV signal'
4:30pm Friday 16th November 2012 in Hyndburn By Emma Cruces, Education reporter
TV RECEPTION to homes in Baxenden is being disrupted by a nearby wind farm, according to Hyndburn's MP.
Graham Jones said he has had 20 complaints within three days from people living in the rural part of the town, between Sandy Lane to the top of Baxenden.
He believes the switching on of 12 wind turbines on Oswaldtwistle Moor, by en-ergy firm EnergieKontor UK Ltd, has caused the problem.
The firm has now app-ointed a local aerial comp-any to investigate the comp- laints.
Mr Jones said: "The turb-ines have only recently been installed and were only switched on last week.
"The residents are telling me their screens pixelate and are unwatchable when the blades are rotating, and the severity of the problem depends on how fast the blades are going, and which direction the turbine is facing.
"The wind farm is in the direct line of Winter Hill and Baxenden, so that's why this is happening. At first I thought it might be the roll-out of the 4G mobile phone broadband network, but the council assures me there have been no mast upgrades from 3G to 4G so far.
"So I have contacted Ener- gieKontor and the borough council and both tell me that they are investigating.
"If they are found to be reponsible for this, then I feel they should come forward with a solution for those people affected, who have paid a licence fee."
A spokesman for Hynd-burn Council confirmed that, as part of planning perm-ission for the wind farm, EnergieKontor have a duty to investigate complaints within a five kilometre radius of the site.
He said: "The company has 28 days to investigate each complaint, and then a further 10 days to issue their findings to the proper- ties affected and to the local planning authority.
"The report shall set out whether the impairment of television reception is dir-ectly attributable to the development, and if remed- ial works are required to restore the quality of telev-ision reception.
"If remedial works are required, they shall be undertaken by EnergieK ontor, at its own cost, using all reasonable endeavours and completed as soon as reasonably practicable."
A spokesman for Ener-gieKontor said: "We have an engineer looking into the issue but, at the moment, it's still not clear whether it's the blades causing the problem, or 4G affecting Winter Hill."

The opening and closing ceremonies for Dubai's World Cup at Meydan Racecourse were enjoyed by a live and television audience of millions around the world. As a main supplier for the region's biggest horse racing spectacle of 2011, Meydan Rocks, ShowTex Middle East worked together with Al Laith Event Services and the show's producers and designers M-IS.
A main design feature, three massive mobile scenic horses' heads were covered with a combination of stretch fabrics, sheers and ShowTex's eco-friendly silk, satin, and taffeta cloths. Huge amounts of PolyStretch, DekoSilk, DekoTaft, Satinac, and Voile CS Colour brought the horses to life. In order to install the intricate design, nearly 2km of glass fiber rod were used. The heads represented the three legendary equestrian bloodlines – the Darley Arabian, the Godolphin Arabian, and the Byerly Turk – from which all modern thoroughbred racehorses are descended and were built on giant Mammoet crawler beds, six stories high, weighing over 100 tons each.
Each horse measured 65' high, 62' long and 10' wide. Al Laith had to ensure that they could safely be "ridden" by up to 26 performers and driven for at least a mile while performing animatronic functions like billowing the silks to make the manes flow and simulating muscle movement with the drapes--in potentially seasonal windy conditions --for the celebrations following the conclusion of the 2011 Dubai World Cup.
The heads travelled a mile with their silky fabric manes flowing behind them in front of all the public grandstands and cheering crowds, halting by the track's finish line and in front of the Royal Box for a dramatic lead up to the finale of fireworks.
Six colossal stages were built on 45' articulated trucks carrying huge structures which represented key aspects of Meydan and further replicas of its iconic architecture. ShowTex ME was responsible for all finishing on these stages and used a broad selection of flame retardant fabrics and projection surfaces from throughout the ShowTex range. More unique elements were a two-sided circular mirror with a printed graphic on the reverse side integrated into musical performances on the main stage, a nearly 50' high book with fabric pages that could be turned mechanically, and giant mesh fabric panels to frame the world's largest LED screen. These custom printed banners, measuring 115'x50' high, were mounted to truss structures and hoisted 165' into the air behind the LED screen so video viewing of Meydan City's construction progress could continue once the video had reached the top limits of the screen.
According to ShowTex ME managing director Sven Peeters, "Our partners were secure in the knowledge that any idea they came up with, no matter how outlandish, would be met by our team with an unrivaled flexibility, and the ability to call on advice and assistance from a global network of experts within the ShowTex group. We were really with them every step of the way!"

Anyone who has listened to right wing radio, Republican rhetoric, or to Rush Limbaugh "dittohead" true believers should be familiar with the "free market can solve all America's problems" rhetoric that keeps returning to the forefront of American political debate. I thought this rhetoric was so discredited following the economic collapse that it would be a while before it resurfaced, but that turned out to be a poor assumption. Being a conservative with a megaphone, it turns out, means never having to say you're sorry or consider alternative evidence and points of view.
For those who doubt this last statement, you should listen to right wing radio sometime. The non-conservative "guests" on these programs exist largely as whipping boys for the egos of the rightwing authoritarian pundits of the day, including the likes of Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, and others. Seldom are these guests allowed serious space to disagree with their hosts, as the slightest sign of disagreement is met with an immediate interruption, talking over, and caustic attacks of those with whom the Hannitys and Limbaughs of the world disagree.
What makes the smug contempt and arrogance of the right-wing punditry all the more obnoxious is their complete refusal to engage in any sort of empirical evidence that challenges their neoliberal worldview in the "magic" of "free markets." Their dominance of television and talk radio, as a result, is truly shameful in light of their status as "useful idiots."
Tune into their programs, and you'll hear Hannity and Limbaugh lambaste Democrats for ill advised spending and taxation that stifle the economy and run up "unsustainable, crippling debt" for future generations. The only way to stimulate the economy, these pundits warn, is not to pass aid packages to keep masses of teachers and other public workers from being fired, but rather to pass tax cuts for the rich and watch the benefits "trickle down" to the masses.
Forget about extending unemployment for the masses. Another stimulus? No way. That would be "reckless," since we all know that the "free market" requires massive deficit spending only for corporate welfare and warmongering. What's saddest about all these promises from the right is their complete disconnection from reality.
Consider some basic economic indicators uncovered by social scientists who are serious about the study of poverty and economic growth. Larry Bartels finds in his recent book, Unequal Democracy, that the vast majority of Americans (save the wealthiest one to five percent) actually saw their incomes (pre and post tax) grow far more rapidly under Democratic than Republican presidents over the last seven decades. Furthermore, the growth seen in the masses' incomes – greatly advanced by the expansion of social welfare programs for the masses and truly needy - were accomplished with no serious inflation when Democrats were in power.
This contradicts Republican and conservative/big business warnings that progressive taxation on the rich, and initiatives like the minimum wage and greater unionization cause inflation. As the conservative argument goes, if workers "artificially" succeed in raising their wages, all that businesses will do is simply raise prices on goods to compensate for the new costs. In response, workers will try to negotiate higher wages again, resulting in another raise in prices of goods, causing an endless cycle of inflation and devaluation of the dollar. What's important about Bartel's statistical analysis is that such predictions don't appear to come true when consulting the post-World War II economic record. In short, icreased subsidies for workers aren't inevitably followed by runaway inflation.
What about the dogma that only tax cuts for the rich promote growth? That myth has been demolished by the Economic Policy Institute, which in a recent study found that the post Bush tax cuts era was actually marked by far weaker economic growth than previous economic cycles that didn't see massive tax cuts for the rich.
What of the claim that the economy performs better without all the regulations on business imposed (albeit tragically less so in recent years) by the Democratic Party? What of the claims that increased taxation on the rich and increased social welfare spending stifles economic growth, since it takes money away from the rich (which is allegedly needed for investment purposes) and gives it to the lazy, undeserving poor? It turns out that these claims are also without merit.
My own analysis of post-World War II economic data finds that economic growth is typically higher when Democrats control government, when compared to periods of split government and Republican government. Lagging growth rates for one year (as is standard in econometric studies of economic growth in relation to partisan public policy effects), I find that the national economic rate growth averaged 8.2 percent per year over the last 65 years when Democrats controlled Congress and the presidency. In contrast, growth rates during Republican control of government averaged 5.5 percent per year. Growth during times of split control of Congress and the presidency stood at 6.2 percent per year. Supplementing my findings are Bartel's, which also show that the economic growth that does actually take place during Republican control of government typically benefits the richest one to five percent, at the expense of the rest of the population, who see their incomes stagnate to decline. In other words, economic inequality greatly increases between the rich and everyone else when Republicans are in office, despite the growth that one sees during these periods and the promises of mass affluence emanating from the talking heads on the reactionary right.
One might wonder why Republicans and business (and a growing number of Democrats today) promote neoliberal "free market" reforms if they are not even as effective as welfare state capitalism in promoting economic growth. Republicans and business elites don't need to worry about relatively higher rates of growth (compared to growth under Democrats) if current levels of profits are acceptable. If one looks at recent economic conditions, corporate America has returned to pre recession levels of profitability, despite the fact that unemployment is rising, the housing market is contracting, and overall economic growth is extremely weak. Instead of promoting strong growth, Republicans and business leaders have been happy simply to help companies relieve themselves of older product stocks, while saving dramatically on operating costs by engaging in mass layoffs and getting remaining workers to pick up the slack (these workers, by the way, won't be getting raises, but will be working longer hours for less money, as their wages deteriorate due to inflation). This new "leaner and meaner" business model may be good for corporate America, but it's toxic for everyone else.
I make distinctions between the Democratic and Republican Parties not to idealize Democrats and demonize Republicans. The Democratic Party today is a shell of what it once was during the times of FDR and LBJ, when major expansions of the social welfare state were a high priority (think establishment of Social Security, the minimum wage, Medicare, and Medicaid). Obama is certainly no FDR or LBJ, as his corporate friendly health care reform demonstrated. The reforms were celebrated by the New York Times as "boons" for the pharmaceutical industry, for private hospital care, and for private medical practices, although they also were accompanied by some modest benefits for the poor (prohibitions on health care denials based on pre-existing conditions and the expansion of Medicaid for the poor).
These admittedly significant gains for the less fortunate, however, are a far cry from the dramatic steps forward in increasing the size and strength of the social welfare state that were seen among Democratic presidents prior to the neoliberal era. In other words, a significant expansion of Medicaid, accompanied by a curbing of the worst excess of the private health care system (pre-existing conditions denial) is not the modern day equivalent that establishing Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security was in the past.
My own economic analysis of differential national growth rates under Democrats and Republicans doesn't celebrate Democratic actions in the neoliberal era (usually traced back to the early 1980s onward). The vast majority of years counted in my study of growth under unified Democratic control of government took place before the neoliberal Reagan era, not after. If the Democratic Party wants to remain relevant today, its members should understand that the "Blue Dog" Republican lite route will not help them achieve success. That approach has already been monopolized by the other pro-corporate party. To succeed in winning back public support over the long term, the party needs to return to what made it successful in the past: a renewed commitment to social welfare spending and subsidies for the masses. It is only through this approach that the party will succeed in returning to Americans a form of economic growth that benefits the masses. It is only through the mass public forcing the Democrats to adopt real progressive stances, however, that we can expect to see any real change in national economic policy for the betterment of all.

Hot Race in NC-5? No, but Foxx is Hauling in Out-of-State Cash
May 22, 2014
Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) doesn't have much to worry about this year — she easily dispatched a primary challenger earlier this month, and her Democratic opponent has raised just $3,000. So why does OpenSecrets.org consider the race for North Carolina's Fifth Congressional District a "Hot Race"? As it turns out, Foxx's campaign fundraising raised a red flag when we…
Back-to-College Special: Academic Contributions Aren't Just Cerebral
August 29, 2013
President Obama might hope that his new education initiative doesn't rile too many in academia: By reputation, college professors and staff members are solid Democrats, and a deeper look at their campaign contributions by the Center for Responsive Politics mostly backs that up -- though certain types of schools tend to skew more left than others.
Rep. Kline Turns Chairmanship into Profitable For-Profit Haul
July 15, 2013
Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), who chairs the House Education Committee, didn't get a single campaign contribution from the beginning of April to the end of June from any students, professors, faculty, teachers' groups or nonprofit universities. The for-profit education industry, however, accounted for almost one quarter of his substantial fundraising in 2013's second quarter.
Nominees to D.C. Appellate Court Are Solid Democrats, Contributions Show
June 5, 2013
Obama's speech in the Rose Garden this week to announce three judicial nominees pressured lawmakers to put partisanship aside to fill the vacancies in the court. None of the three appear to have particularly controversial pasts, but all are solidly Democratic donors.
Top Schools for Federal R&D Grants Are Big Spenders on Lobbying, Campaign Contributions
June 5, 2013
Many of the top 10 university recipients of government R&D grants also were top spenders on lobbying compared with other schools -- and also were big contributors to federal candidates, parties and outside groups in the 2012 campaign cycle, OpenSecrets.org data shows.
Student Loan Debate, Redux, as Donor Schools Weigh In
May 29, 2013
A feeling of déjà vu permeates the current student loan debate. Just last June, President Barack Obama and Congress agreed on holding the interest rate for unsubsidized Stafford loans at 3.4 percent. However, that agreement expires on July 1. Our data shows that the education industry has invested heavily in members of the House and Senate who currently are working on bills to address the issue.
Site Spotlight #2: Profiles of Interest Groups

Our second piece highlighting the abundant resources available on OpenSecrets.org.
Sanford and Colbert Busch Roughly Even On Cash, not on Outside Spending
May 3, 2013
The candidates facing off in Tuesday's special election in South Carolina have roughly the same amount of money at their disposal. But the outside spending in the race -- fueled by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and House Majority PAC -- heavily favors Colbert Busch.
Education Advocacy Declines Steeply
January 31, 2013
Spending on lobbying was down across the board in 2012, but no interest group tightened the purse strings more than the education industry. In 2011, the industry, which includes both for-profit and nonprofit colleges and universities and trade associations that represent both, reported spending about $106 million on lobbying expenses. In 2012 it spent only $88.6 million -- a decline of more than $17.6 million
Stanford Leads BCS Bowl-Bound Schools in Contributions, Lobbying
December 5, 2012
The 10 universities headed to BCS bowls this season also have been politically active and have spent a combined $1.5 million lobbying and $2.7 million on campaign contributions. Stanford, by far, has spent the most with almost $300,000 on lobbying and $1.7 million in contributions.

There is a "method to the madness" or a few ground rules that the avid tag sale-er should follow. Because it often appears as a silent battle between buyers and sellers I have a few tips for both buyers and sellers.
Buyers tip #1 — Map it. You may be the spur of the moment type, but unless you are familiar with a wide area I recommend using a map or GPS to plan your route. It will save on gas and you will spend less time looking for that mystery side street.
Sellers tip #1 — Whether you post your sale here on Patch, on Craig's List, or in newsprint consider your audience. Scanning quickly for the items they seek you can attract more visitors if you categorize your pile of saleable items. Be accurate, meaning don't list "books" if you only have a few. The same goes for tools, antiques and electronics; rather than list these categories it is OK to list these individually. It is a good idea to determine your "big ticket" item (Picasso, signed copy of the Bible, washer/dryer, etc.) and place that prominently in the ad.
Buyers tip # 2 — Don't trust every sign you see. If you don't know the area (and you ignored buyers tip #1) stop looking if the signs disappear. I have chased many a wild goose from one connecting road to another only to find a dead end. I could have asked someone for directions, but my chromosomes don't allow it (hence tip #1).
Sellers tip #2 — When it comes to signage: BE BIG! BE BOLD! BE PROUD! (sorry for yelling) and use lots of arrows. Usually all you need is a sign off the main roads leading to your neighborhood followed by large-ish arrows of similar size and style. A shoebox top is a good gage for size and stability.
Buyers tip # 3 — "Is it okay if I park here?" There's a good chance you'll shock a seller if you ask this question, but I recommend it for two reasons. First, kindness kills... any sense of mistrust a seller might have for allowing a stranger on their property, in their home. This is just a really good icebreaker. Second, it will reduce the chance your car could be damaged from the volume of cars coming and going and may get you a better spot overall.
Sellers tip #3 — You may not realize it (or want it) but when you host a sale you are really hosting a social event. Admit it, how often do you know the people at the parties you go to? I recommend greeting everyone that stops by. Make small talk and try to learn something about them, in the end it will improve your chances of having them hand you cash for removing your unwanted items.
These are just a few of the tips I've gleaned from years of digging for treasure. The most important tip of all is to have fun. You may not find the Holy Grail or break the bank, but you will be richer for the experience.

- " Nice hostel for the price, a bit higher than average other hostels, perfect for couples.. "
- 28 Apr 2014 simon France
- " What an amazing hostel! First of all, I haven't met a more friendly employee than Nicole. I've stayed in 8+ hostels in Europe and still remember her name because of the warm smile and friendliness she displayed during my entire stay. The hostel is in a good location, very clean, and the atmosphere is really chill. Great place to stay in Amsterdam if you don't want the party scene. "
- 11 Apr 2014 Anonymous USA
- " Great staff, close to supermarket and transit. Little noisy on first floor but overall comfortable and clean. "
- 08 Apr 2014 donna Canada
- " friendliest and most helpful staff I've ever encountered in a hostel! Incredibly welcoming and refreshingly classy yet comfortable. Would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to anyone travelling to amsterdam! "
- 27 Mar 2014 paul Canada
- " This is a really nice hostel and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. The staff were incredibly helpful (especially Kristina) and the atmosphere was more like a home that a hostel. The hostel's location is ideal for visiting the Heineken brewery, Van Gogh museum and Rijksmuseum. The other main tourist attractions are within a reasonable walk or accessible by the tram which runs outside the entrance. Room was very clean with a large modern bathroom and power sockets at each bed. "
- 14 Mar 2014 Anonymous Ireland
- " Very close to the tram, the location is perfect. Is a good place to get to know travellers from all over the world. And the night activities help the ones that come here by themselves "

- 10 Jan 2014 Anonymous USA
- " I absolutely loved Coco Mama and will stay there again when I go back to Amsterdam! I stayed in one of the 6 bed dorms which was a bit cramped (though the curtains on the beds offer privacy) but it was never an issue because the common area downstairs is very nice and always full of friendly faces and comfy couches. Don't stay here if you don't want to make friends, hang out with people, and pet the cat. The hostel is within walking distance of almost all the places you'll want to go. "

- Pitchers leading Cardinals to early success
- Matheny sticks with hot lineup for Saturday
- Worth noting
ST. LOUIS -- It's a dilemma that any manager would envy, but a dilemma, nonetheless, for manager Mike Matheny. His starting rotation has been so strong that he has been left trying to find ways to get some of his relievers enough regular work.
"That's a nice problem to have this many games in," he noted on Saturday. "Nobody is complaining."
The only National League rotation to log more innings than St. Louis' rotation through 20 games is Philadelphia's, a testament to how deep into games the starters are pitching. That has allowed Matheny not only to avoid any overuse of his bullpen, but has also let him keep his relievers in their prescribed roles.
Fernando Salas leads the staff with 11 appearances, though he has only logged eight innings. No one else in the 'pen has appeared in more than eight games. On the low end is lefty J.C. Romero, who made his sixth appearance of the year on Friday.
Designated to be the team's primary left-on-left reliever in the middle innings, Romero has regularly watched the starters pitch long enough that the only lefty Matheny has needed is his setup man, Marc Rzepczynski.
"We tried a couple different spots to get him in [the last series in] Chicago and we don't necessarily want him to go that long in between [outings]," Matheny said of Romero, who had a week layoff before Friday's outing. "It's a nice problem to have, but a lot of times J.C. is getting the short end of that. But when he's gone out, J.C. has done a nice job for us."
Romero has not allowed a run this year.
Pitchers leading Cardinals to early success
ST. LOUIS -- From the start of spring, high expectations were set for this Cardinals rotation. Chris Carpenter was poised to lead it, and Adam Wainwright was returning to join him as a co-ace. Such best-laid plans still haven't come to fruition, but through 20 games, this Cardinals rotation has still been a strength.
Perhaps unfairly overshadowed by one of the league's best offenses, St. Louis' rotation is off to one of the best starts in the Majors. Three starters have already won three games, with the five totaling a Major League-high 12 victories. Only the Nationals have a better staff ERA than the Cardinals' 2.41 mark.
The Cardinals have done this, too, without the services of Carpenter, who is out indefinitely with a nerve issue near his shoulder, and Wainwright, who is 0-3 with a 7.32 ERA in his first season back from Tommy John surgery. The other starters have picked up the slack.
"It's a good, friendly competition within the team," said Jake Westbrook, who improved to 3-1 with his win on Friday. "That's just a friendly thing we do. We don't really talk about it much, but each guy going out there wants to do the same thing, if not better than the last guy."
In the rotation only because of Carpenter's injury, Lance Lynn became the Majors' first four-game winner earlier in the week. Kyle Lohse (3-0) has the opportunity to become the National League's second four-game winner on Saturday. Those two, along with Westbrook, rank among the NL's top nine ERA leaders.
With Westbrook's seven-inning, one-run outing on Friday, the starters have also now allowed two or fewer runs in 11 of the team's last 12 games.
"[The] pitchers have been extremely diligent with staying with their work ethic and their in-between start program and really not try to reinvent the wheel," manager Mike Matheny said. "They each have a different style and philosophy to pitching, and I think it has really helped. When you go through a series, you're not going to see the same guy twice."
Matheny sticks with hot lineup for Saturday
ST. LOUIS -- A night after his club scored a season-high 13 runs in a win over the Brewers, manager Mike Matheny found no reason to start tinkering. The lineup he penned on Saturday looked identical -- aside from the starting pitcher's name, of course -- to the one Matheny utilized in the series opener.
"It's hard," Matheny joked, "to top that."
That lineup includes Jon Jay again hitting second, which is where he is expected to remain while Lance Berkman is on the mend. Also receiving another start was Skip Schumaker, who has been in the starting lineup in four of the team's last five games.
Though Matheny has said he will continue to juggle second base playing time between Schumaker, Daniel Descalso and Tyler Greene, Schumaker has earned the chance to stay in the lineup. After a two-hit, three-RBI game on Friday, Schumaker is now 5-for-12 since coming off the disabled list just over a week ago.
"I know my role on this team and it's to be ready to play every day," Schumaker said. "That's how I've always approached the game. I don't write the lineup card. I know that some days I'll be in there and some days I won't be."
Descalso (.208) and Greene (.200), on the other hand, have struggled to gain any offensive traction all month.
Worth noting
He wouldn't go so far as to call it likely, but Matheny did note that it's "conceivable" that Allen Craig will be ready to come off the disabled list on Tuesday. Craig, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery, is currently on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis.
Lance Berkman (left calf strain) has still not resumed running, which would suggest he will not be ready to come off the DL next week when first eligible.
Catcher Yadier Molina was presented with his Rawlings Gold Glove and Platinum Glove awards prior to Saturday's game. Molina is the first Cardinals catcher to win four Gold Gloves.
A day after Chris Carpenter celebrated his 37th birthday, David Freese celebrated his on Saturday. The St. Louis native turned 29.

Disappointed as size is too small

With all the great machines why can't Kitchen Aid get a supplier to provide a proper fitting cover for the newer mixers they sell, the food processors, etc. They are still offering a smaller cover that doesn't cover the latest machines. Cannot recommend.

Kitchenaid Mixer Cover

I love, love, love my kitchenaid mixer cover! I had a towel over it, but it's not the same and I had to dust it. Now, it's covered, I have some recipe books in the pocket and it's always clean. Love it, wish I had covers for all my appliances.

Does not fit 6 quart Professional Model
Par SusieC
de Vernon, BC
I had previously purchased this and was disappointed it didn't fit the 6 quart model, but when I saw it demonstrated on a Showstopper 6 qt it looked like it fit and the host and guest mentioned it fits all models. WRONG - it does not fit properly. I am not sure why TSC does not mention this. I am keeping because of the return shipping costs but am not impressed with TSC
good product
Par ELIZABETH
de WINDSOR. On
I purchased this product a few years ago with my pro 600 mixer and want to tell you that it is a perfect fit for the 13 cup food processor as well. I now have two covers that match on my counter covering these two products.
Very Well Made
Par Love TSC
de Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
I bought one of these in red some time ago. It was very well made but I returned it. The reason being.... my Kitchen Aid mixer is so pretty on my counter I just couldn't cover it up! :)
I finally got the cover for KA Mixer!
Par Alex the reader
de Mississauga, ON
This cover is always sold out. I have had my KA Deluxe mixer from TSC about 3 years ago and kept checking the website for the cover... it was always sold out. I finally found it a few weeks ago and ordered it, it was the last 1 in stock! Patience does pay off...The cover fits great and looks good on my counter!
fits like a glove
Par dustyrider
de toronto
It looks and fits perfectly. And I love the front pocket, I use it for the instruction, and recipe books.
Par Charlin
de Regina(SK)
Have a Pro600 KitchenAid Stand Mixer. The cover I received is very good EXCEPT it isn't long enough. I like the pocket in the front to hold the instruction manual or a recipe book in. Too bad that black was the only colour available. Would have been nice to get it in red to go with my Cinnamon Red mixer. Had to wait over 2 months as it was just to get the black one. It's out of stock again! Hhmmm.
Good buy
Par Brondell
de Toronto, ON
Looks good on my counter protecting the mixer. I have black since the red was sold out. However,I will watch to see if it comes into inventory and make an exchange. Otherwise I will enjoy the black.
Awesome cover
Par Ski
de Acton
With it on it cleans up the counter and looks great!

Town Square
Cable, Satellite or AT&T
Original post made by Jon on May 9, 2010
on May 10, 2010 at 7:15 am
I get all the major broadcast channels for free with a basic antenna.
on May 10, 2010 at 4:48 pm
I think you get way more programming for the money with satellite. Both Dish Network. and DirecTV are good. DirecTV was ahead for awhile with HD offerings but I think Dish has caught up. Plus, the NFL has this new "Red Zone" channel which isn't available to DirecTV subscribers who aren't signed up for the expensive NFL Sunday Ticket package. That channel IS available to Dish and Cable subscribers. So, if you have DirecTV and you don't want Sunday Ticket, I think you might have a net gain with Dish Network.
You won't need an additional phone line to operate DSL - its on at the same time as your voice line. Cable Internet is faster for downloading movies and stuff, but its so much more expensive.
Honestly, I would go with Satellite (either Dish or DirecTV) and DSL. You'll get the most bang for your buck that way. If ATT Uverse is available you can look into that, but from what I've read its not quite ready for prime time. The quality of the service seems to depend on how close you are to the node. I'm intrigued, I have to admit - the 4 room DVR is a nice touch, but I've read some negative reviews about lengthy problem prone installations.
on Jun 13, 2010 at 12:57 am
We've had Comcast digital and cable modem service for years. Had DirectTv before that. DirecTV's both better and cheaper. Cable modem is way faster than DSL. But buy your own cable modem.

St Thomas cop charged
BY PAUL HENRY Crime/Court Desk co-ordinator email@example.com
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Corporal Dwight Smart has now been charged in relation to the shooting death Saturday of an eight-month pregnant woman and the injuring of her sister in St Thomas.
The cop was formally charged yesterday evening with murder, wounding with intent, illegal possession of a firearm and assault, as directed earlier this week by the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions.
Smart is expected in the Home Circuit Court after the new court term starts on September 17.
He is charged with the shooting death of 27-year-old Kay-Ann following a tussle after he accosted her over the use of an expletive. She was shot in the head. Her sister was shot in the shoulder after running towards her.
The incident sparked days of demonstrations in the vicinity of the Yallahs Police Station where the shooting took place.

Cameron agrees with the principle of 'go home' texts
Prime Minister David Cameron agrees with the principle of the Home Office text messages urging people to contact them about their immigration status.
A Downing Street spokesman said: "The point of the texting, which the Prime Minister does agree with, is to get in touch with people who may be here illegally and to say to them ... that they need to be considering going home voluntarily or being removed.
"The principle of the text message is correct. This is one of various means the Home Office uses to get in touch with people who are here illegally to bring about their removal from the UK.
"It's a tiny proportion of texts that may have gone to erroneous people and the wording of the text just says 'you may be here illegally'."

Hail to the Chief? November, Starring Ed Begley, Jr. as POTUS, Opens in L.A. Oct. 7
By Kenneth Jones
November, David Mamet's comedy set in the White House, opens Oct. 7 in a new production starring Ed Begley, Jr., as the incumbent U.S. President, at Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. Performances continue to Nov. 4, two days before Election Day.
Also starring Gregory Cruz, Felicity Huffman, Rod McLachlan and Todd Weeks , under the direction of Scott Zigler, November "takes place a few days before a presidential election and incumbent Charles Smith (Begley) is in for a rough month — his campaign funds are running out, his poll numbers are 'lower than Gandhi's cholesterol' and the sofa needs to be reupholstered," according to Center Theatre Group. "But although his speechwriter (Huffman) seems to have defected, his chief of staff (McLachlan) has all but given up and his wife is planning for her post-White House life, Charles isn't ready to throw in the towel quite yet."
This is Pulitzer Prize-winning Mamet's "hilarious take on the lengths to which politicians will go to win an election." November had its world premiere on Broadway in 2008. Nathan Lane starred, with Laurie Metcalf earning a Tony nomination for playing the speechwriter, Clarice Bernstein.
November features set design by Takeshi Kata, costume design by Laura Bauer, lighting design by Josh Epstein and casting by Erika Sellin. The production stage manager is Barclay Stiff.
Two Mamet plays are about to begin on Broadway — a revival of his Pulitzer Prize-winning Glengarry Glen Ross, for which he later wrote the screenplay, and his new two-hander, The Anarchist, starring Patti LuPone and Debra Winger.
November tickets and information are available at CenterTheatreGroup.org, the CTG box office located at the Ahmanson Theatre, or by calling (213) 628-2772.
