Subject: [WORLD-OBITS] TRAVERS: Arthur James Travers
Date: Sun, 25 Nov 2007 20:13:50 -0000
AJ Travers
Last Updated: 2:29am GMT 21/11/2007
The Telegraph.co.uk
AJ Travers, who died on November 2 aged 95, was a diminutive, assiduous and
slightly pedantic Irish member of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph reporting
staffs for almost four decades.
Armed with a sharp, forensic mind, twinkling eyes and 200 words-per-minute
shorthand, Travers made the coverage of by-election campaigns his own, and
became known simply as "Paddy" to politicians from Harold Wilson down.
He was also first choice to "gut" complicated official documents, and always
took the note of the Budget speech in the days before the press were
supplied with a text to check against delivery.
The accuracy of his reporting was unquestioned; when Emmanuel Shinwell
attempted to sue the Telegraph for libel over a statement he had reportedly
made, Travers's shorthand note was accepted in court as conclusive evidence
of the words used.
Himself a staunch Conservative, Travers built personal friendships with
politicians of all parties, notably Iain Macleod and Jeremy Thorpe. During
the 1983 election campaign, he manned the Conservative Party's press office
along with nine former colleagues from the Lobby.
Travers was a stickler for the correct use of words. In the early 1980s he
clashed with the columnist Honor Tracy over perceived failings in her
literary style, and took issue in print with the Telegraph's Northern
Ireland correspondent over the Gaelic origins of the word "Belfast". Yet he
was unfailingly helpful to younger colleagues.
Arthur James Travers was born in Dublin on November 26 1911, the son of
James Travers, an NCO in the Army, and his wife Elizabeth. The family moved
to Kilkenny when his father was posted there; he went to school there and at
18 joined the Kilkenny Journal for a few shillings a week.
He grew to love the surrounding countryside as he criss-crossed it on his
bicycle in search of news.
In 1935 he moved to England, determined to break into national journalism,
and settled at Chelmsford, his home for the rest of his life. It was tough
to begin with, and he spent the war years as production control manager at
the Hoffman ball bearing company.
In 1945 he joined the Essex Chronicle, and after two years was recruited by
the Press Association.
His shorthand, exceptional even in those days, led to his being sent to
cover major trials at the Old Bailey. In November 1949 he crossed the street
to join The Daily Telegraph; its newsroom would be his professional home for
the next quarter of a century.
It was not always the most congenial place to work. John Armstrong, the
paper's estates correspondent, who had lost both hands in the war, took to
baiting him after a liquid lunch.
Eventually Travers snapped and, although half Armstrong's size, pinned his
head to the desk. The hooks flew off both Armstrong's arms in the ensuing
mle, before two colleagues managed to drag Travers off.
Over the years Travers acquired a near-monopoly of by-election coverage. He
managed to inject interest into even the dullest campaign, though always -
as the paper would then have wished - giving the Conservative candidate the
fullest coverage.
He covered his first when Churchill was prime minister - always recording in
full his message to the Tory candidate - and his last, culminating in
Labour's loss of Liverpool Edge Hill to the Liberals, days after the fall of
James Callaghan's government.
The arrangement was formalised in 1974 when Travers moved to Westminster to
join the paper's political staff under HB Boyne, and subsequently David
He "retired" two years later, being presented with a replica of The Book of
Kells, but immediately returned to work for The Sunday Telegraph, for which
he had undertaken Saturday shifts since the paper's inception in 1961.
He remained there until his final retirement in 1986.
Paddy Travers married Margaret Murphy, whom he had known in Ireland, in
1938. She predeceased him, and he is survived by their two daughters, both

Chester Watson - Phantom
Artist: Chester Watson
Producer: Sammsonite and Stricknine
Album: Phantom Mixtape
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 9 total votes )
Whatever mysterious force has been transforming Empire State teenagers into seasoned 1990s cats (see Bishop Nehru, the Pro.Era collective), its influence seems to be spreading westward. Part of the latest generation of boom-bap revivalists, 15-year-old St. Louis native Chester Watson introduces himself to our pages with mixtape single Phantom. A freestyle over MF Grimm's Earth (off 2007 full-length The Hunt for the Gingerbread Man), the record finds Watson lacing Sammsonite and Stricknine's gritty production with deadpan, polysyllabically-rhymed lyrical flames: "From the bottom like totes with no handles / African shepherd, I'm leadin' goats with no sandals. / N**gas sellin' their soul for more stamina / Don't invite yourself, I'm the host with no manners." Prettywhores direct the cut's official visuals. Fans can find Phantom and much more on the emcee's street album of the same name, released digitally last October.

Seattle Mariners
The Tigers and Rangers trade is just as much about past mistakes as it is about current need
Nov 21, 2013, 5:34 AM EDT
In case you missed the big news last night, the Tigers traded Prince Fielder to Texas for Ian Kinsler. Detroit is sending along around $30 million. The net result: the Tigers get Kinsler and about $70 million in salary relief, the Rangers get seven years of Fielder and a $138 million bill for his services.…
Henry Blanco wants to play one more season
Nov 20, 2013, 7:35 PM EDT
Free agent catcher Henry Blanco wants to play one more season in the big leagues before calling it a career, tweets Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors. Blanco, now 42 years old, spent the 2013 season between the Blue Jays and Mariners, appearing in 50 games total. He was only able to muster a .474…
Brian McCann will begin his grand tour soon
Nov 20, 2013, 11:33 AM EDT
Brian McCann is the best available catcher, and given that good catching is about the hardest thing to find — Henry Blanco is still active for crying out loud — it is definitely a seller's market for Mr. McCann's representatives. In light of that I'm kind of surprised that he isn't pulling a Cliff Lee…
The Yankees are thinking about bringing back Raul Ibanez
Nov 19, 2013, 9:10 AM EDT
If your team is getting old the best thing to do is to go young. If you can't go young, the next best thing I suppose is to bring in old players who don't ever age. To that end: The Post has also learned the Yankees have an interest in bringing back the popular and…
Ruben Tejada could file a grievance against the Mets over service time
Nov 17, 2013, 11:45 PM EDT
Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports is reporting that Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada is considering filing a grievance against the Mets over a service time issue. As Passan notes, Tejada was the team's final call-up in September, earning the promotion on the 10th. They handed out three promotions on the 1st of the month, one on…
Alderson: 2014 will be "a new day" for the Mets
Nov 16, 2013, 8:45 PM EDT
Mets GM Sandy Alderson recently said he won't target players expected to take home a nine-figure contract, like Jacoby Ellsbury or Shin-Soo Choo, but he did state that the 2014 season will be "a new day" for the franchise. Newsday's Marc Carig writes that Alderson spent 45 minutes on the radio, between WFAN and ESPN…
Nationals "have significant interest" in Oliver Perez
Nov 15, 2013, 2:24 PM EDT
At this point the Nationals have been linked to basically every free agent reliever who throws the ball left-handed and the latest is Oliver Perez, with Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post reporting that they "have significant interest." Perez was awful in 2009 and 2010, and then out of the majors completely in 2011, but…
Max Scherzer wins AL Cy Young Award
Nov 13, 2013, 6:32 PM EDT
Max Scherzer became the second Tiger in three years to claim the AL Cy Young Award on Wednesday, picking up 28 of the 30 first-place votes to easily outdistance the Rangers' Yu Darvish and Seattle's Hisashi Iwakuma. Darvish was second on 19 ballots to finish as the runner up to Scherzer. Iwakuma was third, getting…
The Phillies to sign Marlon Byrd to a two-year, $16 million deal

Alderson: Mets don't expect to give out $100 million contract this winter
Nov 11, 2013, 9:28 PM EDT
The Mets have some money to spend this offseason with the contracts of Johan Santana, Jason Bay, and Frank Francisco coming off the books, but don't expect them to go after any of the big ticket items in free agency. Alderson pledges aggressive approach this winter but unwilling to go over $100 million for a…
Wil Myers outpoints Jose Iglesias for AL Rookie of the Year
Nov 11, 2013, 6:24 PM EDT
Wil Myers became Tampa Bay's third AL Rookie of the Year in the past six seasons Monday after receiving 23 of 30 first-place votes from the BBWAA. Myers, who was acquired from Kansas City last winter in the James Shields deal, joins Evan Longoria (2008) and Jeremy Hellickson (2010) as Rays to win the award…
Qualifying offer accept/decline round-up

Felix Hernandez's house is on fire
Nov 4, 2013, 8:15 PM EDT
According to this photo posted by the Bellevue Fire Department on Twitter tonight, Felix Hernandez's house is on fire: They're calling it "a large residential fire" at the 5,000-square foot home, which Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times notes was purchased by King Felix in 2010.
UPDATED: Everything about today's qualifying offer deadline
Nov 4, 2013, 5:10 PM EDT
Here's the wrap on how Monday's qualifying offer deadline went down. First, here's a quick guide to the qualifying offers game: Teams are allowed to make $14.1 million qualifying offers to free agents they've employed for at least a year and thus secure a draft pick if they depart. That pick will come immediately following the…
Mariners decline options on Franklin Gutierrez, Joe Saunders
Nov 1, 2013, 5:02 PM EDT
Franklin Gutierrez and Joe Saunders will both be free agents after the Mariners declined their 2014 options. Gutierrez once looked like a potential star, combining exceptional defense in center field with above-average offense, but he's been healthy enough to play just 41, 40, and 92 games during the past three seasons and Seattle chose not…
What if MLB's season were only 16 games?
Nov 1, 2013, 10:30 AM EDT
So, a couple of friends suggested to me that instead of making this a series of rule changes I would like to see (and will never happen), I should instead come up with "Five things that might make you think differently about baseball." That does seem to make a bit more sense. My first rule…

So, what's the market for Billy Butler anyway?
Oct 22, 2013, 7:10 PM EDT
This kind of doubles as a "what's the market for Kendrys Morales?" post, too. Anyway, the Royals have let it be known that Billy Butler is available, according to ESPN's Buster Olney. Had they done this a year ago, they would have been in line for a nice return. Now? Probably not so much. Butler…
Report: Carlos Peguero's wife ripped off Felix Hernandez's wife

Four years later, 2009 free-agent pair comes up big in LCSs
Oct 16, 2013, 1:58 AM EDT
Headlined by three players, the post-2009 season MLB free agent class was undoubtedly the weakest seen in at least a decade. The prizes: Cardinals outfielder Matt Holliday (acquired from the A's earlier that summer), Red Sox outfielder Jason Bay and Angels right-hander John Lackey. The field was so bad that the fourth biggest contract went…

My pal Bob Ryan brought this up first, but it's worth reliving for a moment. Sunday night, David Ortiz hit one of the coolest home runs in postseason baseball history. There are many reasons for this. One, is the obvious: The game seemed over. The series, really, seemed over. The Tigers led 5-0, the probable…
Kendrys Morales to reject the Mariners' qualifying offer
Oct 8, 2013, 5:35 PM EDT
A week or so ago it was reported that the Mariners would make a qualifying offer to pending free agent Kendrys Morales. Jon Heyman reports today that Morales is likely to reject said offer when it comes: Morales will turn down the qualifying offer, as he'd expect to hit it much bigger in a market…
Four points of award voting
Oct 2, 2013, 10:04 AM EDT
When I was a kid, I loved the annual awards column that would run in the local newspaper. It does not really matter WHICH local paper I'm talking about now because some version of that column ran in every newspaper in the United States. The columns always picked the writers' baseball award winners and, along…
The Mariners intend to make Kendrys Morales a qualifying offer
Oct 1, 2013, 5:52 PM EDT
Free agent-to-be Kendrys Morales might not be one and done in Seattle. MLB.com's Greg Johns passed along word that GM Jack Zduriencik said he intends to make the designated hitter a qualifying offer after the World Series. That offer would give Morales a one-year contract in the $13.5 million-$14 million range should he choose to…

I've been desperately attempting to write how I feel, but there are no adequate words. There is no combination of twenty-six letters that could ever fully explain the immense joy and love I feel just having you around. You've been the biggest support over the last few days, and I know that I'm not easy to be around after a long day at work, but you handle me with such care and kindness, and I'm forever grateful. I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'm so glad you're in my life.
All my love, always.
Happy Father's Day to the handsome love of my life!
I'm yours — you know it.

I'm a workshop junkie.
I love whats in them as much as what comes out of them.
When I was a kid, my grandpa had a wonderful little shop of mostly homemade tools. If he needed something he made it. Magic. I would sit in there for hours and admire all those tools, hoping to know what to do with them someday.
I grew up thinking every man needed a workshop like that, and I have been working towards that goal my entire life. My first workshop was a loft in my dads very large truck shop, where I made my own homemade tools. I had a table saw that was an old circular saw mounted under a hunk of particle board, a small belt sander powered by a drill, a hokey little drill press that borrowed the drill from the sander, a router with its scary little table, a scavenged plywood workbench, and a few others. I was on my way.
Many years and a few shops later I am still trying to perfect that shop and what comes out of it. I still enjoy tinkering with the tools as much as producing things with them.
I enjoy many kinds of projects; cabinetry, furniture, carving, you name it. My problem is I like it all and never perfect any one thing.
Oh well guess I'm not there yet........

Feb. 11, 2014 / Sarasota — With the music of two organs and the singing of two choirs, the Church of the Redeemer, 222 S. Palm Ave., in downtown Sarasota, will present a free concert showcasing Louis Vierne's "Messe Solenelle" and Charles-Marie Widor's "Mass for Two Organs and Two Choirs," on Sun., Feb. 23, at 6 p.m. The evening's performance will surround the audience with the sounds of these masses written specifically for two organs, as the choirs of Redeemer and St. Boniface Church — nearly 100 voices combined — lend their combined vocal talents to the works of master Parisian organ composers Widor and Vierne. Organists Ann Stephenson-Moeof Redeemer and Neil Page of St. Boniface will perform on Redeemer's magnificent 50-stop Nichols & Simpson pipe organ and a second organ brought in for the event.
"The audience will be impressed with the majesty of the sound and presence of the two organs," said Stephenson-Moe. "They will be surrounded by choir and organ sounds from every direction."
"Louis Vierne and Charles Marie Widor were two of the greatest French composers of the late 19th and 20th centuries," said Stephenson-Moe. "Both organists served in their famous positions for almost a half century, and both upgraded and uplifted organ music two a new level of popularity. Louis Vierne died on the organ bench in 1937, but not before he made the Catholic Church of Notre Dame one of the most famous churches in the world. And that fame was largely due to the masterful playing and improvisations that Vierne produced on a daily basis."
The concert is free and open to the public. A freewill offering will be taken to help defray costs. For more information, visit redeemersarasota.org or call 941-955-4263.

PORTSMOUTH — The city will again offer three weeks of free parking downtown this holiday season.
The parking holiday, approved by the City Council Tuesday night, runs from Dec. 14 to Jan. 2. It marks the fourth year in a row the city has offered the three-week break on parking. In years past, the reprieve in parking enforcement lasted two weeks. In total, the city has suspended parking meter enforcement for the holidays for the past 15 years.
The Top 10 reasons to like Portsmouth's free holiday season parking, contributed by Seacoastonline.com Facebook page readers:
10. Because Portsmouth, N.H., rocks. — Elizabeth Townes
9. Because we get screwed the rest of the year. — Dan Deering
8. It makes me want to stay & shop LONGER while visiting Portsmouth! — Patty-linn Cogswell
7. Because I'm not a strong runner and the meter maids always beat me. — Brenna Jennings
6. Because it's too cold to wait for the parking machine to print up my receipt. — Brenna Jennings
5. Because not having to feed my meter means I can linger over another cocktail AND take the time to sober back up. — Brenna Jennings
4. Because I can monopolize a space for hours and be smug about tourists I won't move for. — Brenna Jennings
3. Because it gives me a little extra money to tip the waitstaff at the wonderful Portsmouth eateries. Sort of a seasonal "pay it forward" — my own mini-tradition to help the kind people who refill my coffee cup. — Carol Bennett
2. Because, have you ever tried to explain to a 4-year-old that you have to leave G. Willikers to go put more quarters into a metal pole? — Brenna Jennings
1. It gives all those cute guys that stroll about checking meters & ticketing cars some time off. :>)
— Lyn Kells
Councilor Ken Smith, chairman of the city's Parking and Traffic Safety Committee, said the free parking is a tool the city uses to encourage people to shop locally during the holiday season.
"We added that extra week through the holidays because we know there are a lot of people still visiting families and friends in Portsmouth and like to visit the many shops," he said.
While all on-street and public surface-lot parking will be free, vehicles may not be parked in the same space longer than the posted time limits, and will be subject to being ticketed for exceeding them. Other parking violations will be ticketed, such as unauthorized parking in handicapped spaces or loading zones.
The city routinely budgets for the loss in revenue, which is expected to be around $30,000 for each week of free parking.
Parking patrons are encouraged to use the Hanover Street municipal garage if they expect to park longer than the posted time. The garage rate will remain at 75 cents per hour throughout the holidays.

Mission seniors targeted in 'stranded motorist' scam
Police are warning the public about a resurgence in criminals preying on local seniors.
At least two Mission residents were taken advantage of earlier this week by thieves posing as stranded motorists.
All incidents have occurred in residential neighbourhoods, and the victim is typically approached when they are returning home. The suspect has approached the victim and said they're having car trouble, and require water for their radiator.
The suspect often offers to help the victim carry their groceries or other items and wait at the entrance of the residence while the victim gets the requested water.
A rash of similar crimes were reported this past November, and arrests have been made. The latest local incident involved an 86-year-old woman.
It is believed that at least one male and one female suspect are involved in these thefts. Different descriptions have been provided for the suspect vehicle involved in each theft.
Police caution people to be vigilant for suspicious activity and strange persons hanging around their neighbourhood. Police also remind the public not to allow strangers into their homes and to keep their doors locked at all times.
Anyone with information should call 604-826-7161. If you wish to remain anonymous please call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Introducing Tryavna
Once just a day trip and now a tourist draw, Tryavna (40km southwest of Veliko Târnovo) has been impressively renovated thanks to EU largesse. The National Revival–period homes, stone bridges and cobblestone streets are all aesthetically appealing, as is the sight of the main church selectively floodlit at night. Tryavna is most famous for its craftsmanship, and particularly for the eminent Tryavna school of religious woodcarving. However, despite its plethora of exhibitions and churches, Tryavna has not become simply a museum town; a school for woodcarving still exists, attended by young Bulgarians continuing this aspect of their national heritage.

First the good news: The number of advanced treatments and therapies for sick pets has grown. The bad? So has the cost of care. More and more pet owners are buying insurance to help defray the expense of catastrophic illnesses like cancer. But is it worth the money?
The price of insurance varies. For a newly enrolled 12-week-old, mixed-breed kitten, for example, VPI, a well-known insurance company, charges $162 per year for their "superior plan," which includes up to $14,000 per year in coverage. The same coverage for an 8-year-old German shepherd would be $471 annually. The fine print: This does not include coverage for routine care (vaccinations, deworming, etc.) unless you pay an additional yearly fee of $99 and $50 deductible. VPI only pays up to a certain amount for each type of procedure, and if you want to insure an older pet, pre-existing conditions are not covered.
On the other hand, American Veterinary Medical Association President Roger Mahr, DVM, points out that pet health insurance isn't just for catastrophes. Though few policies cover routine care, they may pay for treatments for chronic illnesses, like skin allergies and diabetes, that can quickly add up to a big pile of bills.
The bottom line: If you think pet insurance may be for you, look closely at the insurer's policy to find out exactly what they cover. Then take the benefit schedule to your veterinarian and see if the amount of coverage matches what you would actually be charged.

THIS WEEK'S FEATURED BARGAIN: Kupros Bistro
1217 21st St., Sacramento
(916) 440-0401
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m.-2 a.m. Friday, 10:30 a.m.-2 a.m. Saturday, 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Sunday
Happy hour: Noon to closing Monday, noon-6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 3 p.m. to closing Sunday
The real steal: Enjoy a dollar off all 13 of its draft beers and $3 well drinks and house wines. If you're hungry, bring a large group and enjoy three appetizers for $10. Kupros has 13 choices including beef and veggie sliders, sweet potato fries and poutine. (The latter, a French-Canadian dish, consists of french fries covered in gravy and melted cheese curds.)
The vibe: The owner converted a two-story house into a bistro. Downstairs has a restaurant feel, with a bar area that has oversized booths around the perimeter and an outside patio. The second floor feels more like the actual house and is filled with tables and chairs, a lounge area and a balcony, giving you a more intimate dining experience. By the way, congratulate the Kupros staff, which won a Slow Food USA-Sacramento Snail Award for being a green restaurant, using plenty of organic and local ingredients.
Signature drink: Try the Deschutes Abyss or La Trappe Quadrupel Trappist Ale, two of the most popular beers. The Abyss is $6 during happy hour and has an 11 percent alcohol content, and the ale, $8 during happy hour, is almost as strong with a 10 percent alcohol content. The ale is hand-brewed by Trappist monks in the Netherlands. If you're looking for something brewed a little closer to home, try the Loomis India Pale Ale.
Bathroom break: There are bathrooms on each floor. Downstairs, there are two stalls and plenty of mirror space for touch-ups. Upstairs, there is a private bathroom with plenty of space. It's great for those who want a little more privacy in a public bathroom.
Alternative libations: If you're in the mood for something sweeter, try a cocktail such as Cruel Intentions or the Midnight Express. The latter, a combination dessert and drink, is made with Godiva liqueur, in a chocolate-swirled martini glass, and garnished with a mini Oreo on top. Cruel Intentions is made with bourbon, ginger beer, cinnamon, agave nectar and muddled apple slices. These artisan cocktails, however, are not on happy hour. They range from $9 to $12.
Something extra: Happy hour works all over the restaurant; however, the favored seating is actually at the bar itself. Sitting there, you can eye the beautiful stained glass dome ceiling overhead. It was created by local artist Mickey Abbey. You can also see the fast pace of the bartenders muddling up everything from apples to mint to jalapeños.
MVP Sports Grill
2110 L St., Sacramento
(916) 441-4151
Hours: 11 a.m. to closing daily (This sports bar closes when the last person leaves, but the kitchen usually closes between 9:30 and 11:30 p.m. Last call for the bar is around 1:30 a.m. most nights.)
Happy hour: 3-7 p.m. Monday through Friday
The deals: Enjoy $2 domestic draft beers, $3.50 well drinks, and half off all appetizers except the sampler platter. Both the regular and boneless wings are popular options and come with three sauces on the side: the MVP sauce, the hot sauce and an inferno sauce. Appetizers range from $3.50-$4.50 but can be as low as $1.50. On Tuesdays there are $5 margaritas and $3 tequila shots, and Wednesdays are "Well Wednesdays" with $3 well drinks all day.
Kinnee O'Reilly's Irish Pub and Restaurant
1010 White Rock Road, Suite 100, El Dorado Hills
(916) 933-2720
Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to midnight Friday and Saturday
Happy hour: 4-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday
The deals: Enjoy a dollar off all well drinks during happy hour. The appetizers average $9.95 and are large enough to share with friends. Try the popular Kinnee O'Reilly's Irish Pub Chips, which are house-made potato chips covered in Irish cheddar and Dubliner cheeses with corn beef and scallions, and a Guinness ketchup, a horseradish aioli and chive sour cream.
The Davis Graduate
805 Russell Blvd., Davis
(530) 758-4723
Hours: 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m. daily. Closes at midnight on some Thursdays and Sundays.
Happy hours: 4-8 p.m. daily
The deals: Enjoy the "Four at Four," also known as happy hour at the Davis Graduate. Every day, the number four becomes your favorite number with choices such as four different pitchers for just $4 each, 56 different pints for just $4 each, $4 double well drinks, Long Island ice tea, premium liquors and spirits. Appetizers, also just $4 each, include onion rings, french fries or nachos.

The Orlando Magic were expected to be a very busy team at this year's trade deadline.
They are a team that has some nice veterans on decent contracts that doesn't seem all that interested in winning games and would rather develop young talent. That's usually a recipe for a team to unload players.
The Magic are said to be interested in dealing anyone outside of guard Victor Oladipo, who they selected with the second overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
However, it looks like the team will likely hold on to their best player and leading scorer Arron Afflalo until at least the offseason.
According to Steve Kyler of Basketball Insiders, that doesn't mean the Magic will have a quiet deadline. In fact, Kyle believes the Magic are looking more and more likely to make a deal.
League sources say the Magic have recently engaged in talks with a few teams on possible transactions and that while the team continues to play poker with its assets there is an increasing sense that the Magic might make a deal before tomorrow's 3:00pm EST trade deadline.
Kyler also reports the Magic are "turning away calls" on Afflalo.
Davis, who is owed $6.4 million this season and $6.6 million next season, is averaging 12.4 points and 6.4 rebounds per game.
Nelson, who is putting up 12.9 points, 6.7 assists and 3.4 rebounds per game, is making $8.6 million this season and will make $8 million next, but his salary for the 2014-15 is only partially guaranteed if he is waived before July 15.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful place
We stayed for 10 days and had such a wonderful time on our family vacation. The house was very clean and provided everything advertised and so much more. The yard is absolutely beautiful and we loved just relaxing by the pool, enjoying the beautiful weather. Bob and JIll were very helpful and always available if we had any questions. We felt very much at home and will definitely be back!
Lovely and comfortable ending to our long holiday!
We had been away for almost 3 months and ended our long adventure in Florida. This property was perfect for us as a couple. Very clean, spacious, modern, practical, and lovely pool area. We personally just wanted to relax and do a bit of shopping before heading back to Uk. The beach, shops, malls etc..are all closeby. Very happy to recommend this and would have no hesitation to rent again!
Fabulous Location
We had a lovely holiday at Pompano Beach.The house was ideally located in a quiet,safe residential area and the lovely beach was a short walk away.The facilities provided were excellent and the service by Gene was superb- he was always at the end of the phone for the slightest enquiry-thank you.The bikes were a great bonus too.A clean,spacious modern home that is easy to travel to many other locations in Florida too.We hope to be coming back in the near future.

Are Weekly Inflation Forecasts Informative?
AbstractAre weekly inflation forecasts informative? Although several central banks review and discuss monetary policy issues on a bi-weekly basis, there have been no attempts by analysts to construct systematic estimates of core inflation that supports such a decision-making schedule. The timeliness of news releases are recognized to be an important information source in real-time estimation. We incorporate real-time information from macroeconomic releases and revisions into our weekly updates of monthly Swiss core inflation using a common factor procedure. The weekly estimates for Swiss core inflation show that it is worthwhile to update the forecast at least twice a month.

Spring is great time for our restaurants and bars; it seems that every week or so nature releases a wonderful ingredient to add to our repertory.
As regular visitors may have noticed, we've been cooking with rhubarb throughout winter, using the famous forced rhubarb from the Yorkshire Triangle, recognizable for its delicate pink colour and in season from October. Spring however is the time for field rhubarb, distinguished by darker, red stalks and grown throughout Britain. You'll find it in our scrumptious rhubarb and ginger diplomat tart and our crème brûlées. We also use it in a purée for the Ruby Rhubarb champagne cocktail. Perhaps the most unusual way we prepare rhubarb is to pickle it for our confit duck and green bean salad. The stalks are cut into batons and finely sliced on a mandoline. Warm spiced vinegar is then poured over the raw rhubarb ribbons and they are left for a week to mature and soften. The resulting pickle is marvellous served alongside a hearty pie or tossed into salads of cheese, oily fish or rich meats, such as confit duck.
Spring is also a prime time for wild garlic leaves, or ramsons (a wild relative of chives). Their season is famously brief and we use them to infuse oil for our potato soup – a punchy twist on the classic vichyssoise combination.
We're also making the most of English asparagus. WyeValley growers have had much success extending the English asparagus season, but these fine stalks are still highly prized. In addition to ever-popular steamed asparagus with hollandaise sauce, this season we're chargrilling the spears and serving with oregano-scented olive oil and parmesan cheese. This gives the asparagus a lightly toasted flavour suited to the Mediterranean nature of the dish, which can be paired with a light red wine instead of the traditional white.
We will also be serving zingy Rosary Goats' Cheese salad with char-grilled spring onions and fresh herb mustard; spring is the perfect time to enjoy fresh young goats' cheese (the one we're using is sourced from the Wiltshire-Hampshire border), while spring onions really are, as the name implies, a seasonal speciality. Young leeks are also prime in spring, so do look out for our delicate poached leeks with mustard vinaigrette and soft-boiled duck egg – a real treat!
We hope you enjoy our spring menus, if you have any favourites that you would like to see added to the menu, do let us know.

"The stuffing in this roast makes this dish. The sauce is also very unique. Don't think you'll be disappointed. From: Southernfood.about.com"
Serving Size: 1 (327 g)
Servings Per Recipe: 8
"Gwynn, this was absolutely the most delectable pork roast we have ever had! I must say, I was a little nervous as it seemed to me that there was going to be a lot of apple flavour, but my DH wanted apple...so....I went ahead with the recipe. I used apple juice, as I had no cider. So, down to the making of this recipe. I made it just as described, although I think that next time I will roll the roast in breadcrumbs BEFORE stuffing, as I had a hard time rolling and having the stuffing fall out. Otherwise, it was made exactly as described. The sauce was something else I was unsure of, it seemed a little thin to me and I was worried that I didn't reduce it enough, but it was so flavourful! The sounds around the table were "Mmmmmm"" "wow" and "this is awesome!" This was a very simple recipe that turned out beautifully. I would serve this to guests in a heartbeat, it is that good. This is going in my all-time favourites cookbook! Thanks for posting!"

4.6/5 rDev +17%
Fully ebon hue, rich, tan hand, thick and rocky...good looking stout, so far. Nose, soft and creamy, with notes of nuts and cocoa. Taste is smooth at first, but fills the mouth well. Huge malts, caramelly, thick and nearly chewy, very full bodied. Perfect integration, wonderful balance, sweet and tasty, but never too, with a delicate fruitiness, just underneath. The ABV peeks in just a bit, but doesn't mar the enjoyment of what's nearly a perfect stout! Beats the hell out of Guinness, but gets me yearning for an Expedition. Hearty and proud as it's namesake, Lion is a stout fit for a king. Lightly spicy in the end, nutty, and never-ending tastiness.

Beer poured from a can into a Bruery tulip. Beer is black and forms a huge dark brown head of small and medium bubbles. Head falls away quickly leaving a lot of lacing on the glass. Carbonation is unknown but presumably low due to lack of head retention. Falling head leaves a little lacing on the glass.
Aroma is overall a little weak, kind of sweet, mildly smokey, some roasted coffee perhaps. Smells OK.
Beer is medium to thin in body, slightly sweet and finishes nicely with some roasty bitterness. There is some ash like flavors to this beer overall that are less than pleasant but fortunately for it they are minimal. Drinkability is good and mouthfeel is also good. Its a decent, kind of sweet, stout.

I picked this up at Brass Rail Deli, poured chilled from the can into a tulip.
A - an opaque, black as night color w/ thick band of beige, the lace clings decently and bead is average size
S - The smell is very good, lots of dried fruit aromas: fig, raisin and currant w/ a slight scent of roasted grain and mild alcohol in the aroma
M - A feel that has smooth carbonation with a mild level of sweetness and roastiness, the textue is full bodied and has a mild warmth of alcohol as it finishes
T - The flavor follows the nose pretty closely with mild fig, slight dark cocoa bitterness and mild hop effect w/ a moderate amount of wood/tobacco in the background a very nice flavor profile
D - I enjoyed this one a lot, a very good example of the style and nice to have from a can too. I would recommend this to anyone who likes strong stouts

I heard this was an interesting beer, and it's from Sri Lanka, probably the first thing I've ever had from there. Here's the review, enjoy.
A: Pours super dark with a huge rich creamy head. The head rises to be 50% of the glass with a thick dark chocolate colored creamy foamy head. It slowly pops downwards. The black stout doesn't let any light through, so it's basically pitch black.
N: Nose is interesting, with some creamy malt aromas, spicy alcohol, toasted aromas, slight fruit, almost an aroma of toasted seeds, like toasting pumpkin seeds. Sweet malts and syrupy aromas also take a liking to it. It's a very unique and strange nose that I can't even pick out aromas to describe.
T: Starts with some nice chocolate flavors, creamy milk chocolate. Then some tangy spicy flavors that are also semi strange and interesting at the same time. Some light smoky flavors, and some char, like taking a bite from a charred log, literally. It's weird. The strange toasted seed aroma comes out slightly in the taste as well. It's so unique and interesting. Not amazing flavor, but interesting. A slight coffee taste comes through on burps as well. Some dark fruits also come through, fig and raisin mostly, with tastes of nuts and nutmeg.
M: Pretty creamy and thick, and despite the head not much carbonation.
F: Finishes semi bitter, slightly tangy and spicy as well. Pretty dry too, and leaves a chocolate powder flavor in the mouth, like chewing on cocoa powder. There's also some lingering fruit flavors and the stout like bitterness sticking around. It does hide the 8% abv well though.

a very smooth stout with a well hidden high abv. pours a rich dark chocolate color with a small tan head. smells semisweet, with dark malts and a touch of coffee. flavor is velvety chocolate malts and just the slightest alcoholy sting. mouthfeel is excellent. moderate carbonation and a silky smooth fuller medium body. this is dangerously easy drinking, and pairs well with big barbeque flavors. i dont know why i waited so long to try this one, i look forward to my next. who knew sri lanka made great beer?

Pours black with a thick, creamy tan head that descends to a lasting thin cover. Some trailing lace sticks to the glass.
The smell is of bitter coffee, chocolate and prunes with a touch of peppery alcohol.
The taste is of bittersweet chocolate, dark fruit - esp. prunes, and a splash of coffee. Sweet with a long, bitter, somewhat boozy and acidic, intense finish.
Smooth despite noticeable alcohol and creamy in a lighter side of full body.
Too intense and boozy to drink too quickly or too much of (one bottle is plenty), it's a nice stout to sip on slowly.
Thanks to bitterbill for including this one!

Pours into my 25cl tulip glass with a dense, creamy, initially four-finger thick, deeply brown stained, full tan colored head. The beer is a full black color that shows just a flash of ruby to it when held up directly to the light. Weird, the aroma is quite weird; buttery, but with an almost chemical undercurrent. What is weird is that this might not be diacetyl, this is the most likely culprit, but for some reason it just seems a bit different than your typical diacetyl signature. Buttered popcorn aromas clearly dominate, but there is just a hint of roast character noticeable towards the finish.
Quite sweet with a fairly agreeable flavor until the finish which has a phenolic, chemical edge to it. The body has a nice fullness to it as well as a nice soft, chocolate tasting, roast grain flavor to it. That strange buttery note is not nearly as noticeable in the flavor, but the chemical note still manages to mute my enjoyment of this beer pretty significantly.
This is newly arrived in Arizona, so I don't understand why this is so bad; and to be honest the flavors of this beer seem pretty fresh, it is just that there are also some significantly off components to this beer as well.

Dark tan head of solid, tight bubbles. As it dissipates, large bubbles form with remnants left on the glass with a similarity to hot cocoa. Pours a dark brown where light cannot pass through.
Strong chocolate aromas; a little chaulky. Very mild.
Creamy body with a low carbonation. The flavor is similar to milk chocolate without sugar. The aftertaste lasts a long time with a coffee-ish touch and strong alcohol warmth.
I'd love to try this against some milk stouts and some imperial stouts as this beer seems to have attributes of both.

21.1 oz. bottle, a weird size, real heavy bottle, great label,
A: Pours black, with a creamy medium tan head, good retention and some spotty lace.
S: Light cacao count dark chocolate, like the 60% stuff, licorice, with a hint of banana liqueur and rum, it's a tropical stout for Pete's sake.
T: Great chocolate taste with some sour twang and that "tropical" dark malt character I find in Cooper's Export Stout and Xingu. Definite mocha characteristics, with notes of cinnamon stick, vanilla bean and roasted malt.
M: On the lighter side body for a big stout, but I like it as this is a style that needs to be drinkable and refreshing in the hot sun. Creamy and silky, enjoyable aftertaste that doesn't go on for too long, but makes you want another sip. That finishing vanilla note works wonders. The 8% is completely hidden.
D: I was excited to see a bottle of this at Hollingshead's; I've always wanted to try it, I'm a big fan of the style, yet there are so few examples around town. The price is real good, I think it was $3.99, and you get a delicious stout perfect for a hot summer day, a beer that can be drunk in droves, so be careful out there.

625 ml Bottle reviewed on it's best before date (Sep 2011).
I was really impressed, this looked, smelled and tasted like a good quality Stout. Lovely velvety looks, those rich, smooth malty aromas of roasted and toasted barley just carried on into the mouth. Chocolate and mild Coffee flavours linger in the mouthfeel as the brew level slips slowly down the glass.
One of the simpleist and best tasting Stouts I've had, ever.

4.22/5 rDev +7.4%
Appearance: pours black in color with a short 1/2" head that reduces to nothing in a minute or so. No lacing developed during the session.
Smell: roasted malt and chocolate sweetness leaps out of the glass and is enjoyable.
Taste: follows the nose as the roasted malts and chocolate flavors are dominant with some softer plum and prune sweetness. Alcohol is mildly noticeable and provides some soft warming. Bitterness balances out the sweetness nicely.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied. Very smooth from start to finish. Aftertaste lasts a bit as the roasted malts and chocolate remain around a while.
Drinkability: nice stout that is a slow sipper and mildly warming on a cold winter evening. A few of these can be easily quaffed in a long session.

08/11/05- Purchased at the Wine Exchange in Sonoma, CA
Presentation- 11.2oz bottle with no dating. Poured into my Englander pint glass.
Appearance- Black pour with a full 1 inch dirty white head. Average lacing.
Smell- All your basics. Chocolate, espresso and dark malts. Nothing really spectacular, but still a good whiff.
Taste- Mirrors the are the scents. I think mostly some dark sweet chocolate and a bit of coffee. Malts were mild.
Mouthfeel- Moderate carbonation for a stout and definitely creamy.
Drinkability- A fine stout. Nothing out of this world, but still a very good one worth trying. Heck for $1.75 it's worth buying a few.

3.63/5 rDev -7.6%
Pours a deep opaque black with a huge bug loosebubbled head of mocha-cream foam. Lacing is superlative. The head looks a little too much like styrofoam to my mind, but it's pretty nice.
Quite odd on the nose. Some dark roasted notes, with a really unnerving hint of weed killer. There's something sharp there - it reminds me of wandering into the garden shed. Otherwise the toasted, slightly smoky aromas are pleasant - maybe it's just a boozy hint that's putting me off, but it's certainly odd.
Deep and toasty palate, crusty and dark at the start, but mellowing to a rounded high-cocoa chocolate sweetness. The full body of the palate is rather short, but there's a single note of carbonised bitterness which lingers through the centre as the rest subsides. A hint of booze just pops up near the end. It doesn't have the complexity to be truly great, and the mouthfeel is certainly weaker than is warranted, but it's not bad all up.
A pretty pleasant stout. It certainly has a good handle on the roasted bitterness. I wish it had upped the sweetness and the body a bit, and lengthened the palate. But not bad overall.

I CAN't believe how many different CANned beers are available. The CANQuest began as a lark and has become an obsession. CAN you dig it?
First, this lion came roaring out of its CAN! It looked like oil from the current slick in the Gulf of Mexico, courtesy of BP. The head was outrageous, demanding my immediate attention lest its deep-brown rise above the lip of the glass and spill onto my computer. Two fingers that eventually tamed themselves and sat atop the beer like a real lion on a stool. F**ing rampant animals! I despise that! This cat had a real bite on the nose. Deeply roasty with a bit of dark chocolate sweetness, if that passes for sweet for you. Color was ebony black with the light penetration of a black hole. NONE! Zee-roh! Mouthfeel was somewhat thin for a stout, but the taste was dark chocolate, raisins, prunes, my morning coffee (I am a retired US Navy sailor), and smoke. This tasted like the aftermath of a house fire smells. Wow! The finish was dry, smoky, worth seeking out. Good kitty!

Got a bottle at The University Roadhouse in Kalamazoo.
Basically a lighter, but very drinkable and tasty export stout.You'd never guess it was 8% abv, I've had thicker normal stouts. The flavor is a smooth chocolate with a bit of mocha (sorta like MJ says on the label). I found the aroma weak, but the taste and drinkability fun.

Bottle version from Spikes..
Poured black with a slight brownish tint of brown in the light. Head was pretty nice, light brown and somewhat thin. Nose just smelled extra smooth and subtle. Some dark chocolate and mocha with a slight roastiness. Taste is chocolate upfront and the mocha hits you about halfway to finish. Not dry either like most stouts. This was very smooth and no bite. Very interesting stout. This stout is one of the most drinkable stouts I have ever had. The ABV was just right and very mellow with lots of taste!!!. EXCEPTIONAL

BB NOV 2006. Served lightly chilled in a broad-rimmed goblet.
A: pours a very dark brown, almost ebony hue, some ruby hints are seen against light; the tan head comes effervescent and foamy, gradually settling to a thin carpet and leaving tight lacing.
S: lovely and intense aroma of roast nuts and roasted barleys upfront, on top of more settled sticky toffee, coffee-flavoured milk, and burned sugary coating as on cream-brulee~~ True to the style, the aroma is dense but still manageable, albeit a touch too sweet for me and slightly short of complexity.
T: an effervescent-textured maltiness flows onto the palate, introducing peanut-flavoured toffee, crushed roast almond, lightly bitter-sweet root-spice (licorice), burned sugar, and roasted barleys; the nutty edge speaks out loud, providing a different kind of bitter-sweetness from other burned-malt-dominated Foreign Stouts I've had. Only in the end does a tinge of restrained sourness emerge, complementing the bitter-sweet flavour just well.
M&D: although the texture falls a bit thin, the very light body sits in contrast to a semi-strong flavour, and the high alc. content doesn't leave a wee bit trace throughout the drink, making this a very approachable stout. Somehow my impression of this beer is compromised by (unintentional) comparison with stronger and fuller Imperial Russian Stouts, and robust, less sweet and dryer English Stouts. In a sense, interestingly, its texture and flavour remind me more of Sweet/Milk Stouts instead--I mustn't be the only one to speculate that, surely? A nice, but not great, foreign stout worth trying once in a life time.

12 ouncer sampled, no freshness dating. Pours black, little light shining through the edges. Dark tan head, any lacing sliding down the side of the glass. Nose is funky, and of burnt malt. Taste is a bit on the thin side, just a hint of burnt malt, some chocolate and drying hops. Alcohol is on the hot side and a bit up front. Decent product, but other stouts come to mind to try next time.

This is a 650 mL bottle served in a Chimay goblet. The beer is cold.
Appearance: The stout is deep black. When held to light, dark ruby colors emerge from the edges. There is a bit of head that has left a nice ring of lace.
Smell: The stout has some nice chocolate notes, as well as a spicier smell to it. It almost conjures up a good molé sauce.
Taste: There is a nice chocolatey flavor that jumps all over the expected roast malt aroma. There are also spices, peppers and cinnamin and other exotic flavors that go very well in the beer.
Mouthfeel: The combination of spices in this stout is quite extraordinary.
Drinkability: The 8% abv and deep stout flavors are little much to continually pound. Overall though, this is a good ale to try.

3.53/5 rDev -10.2%
A: Pours a very dark black with a two finger tall tan head. There is some head retention and significant lacing is observed.
S: Slight hint of alcohol in the smell of this beer but the primary aromas are sweet malts, brown sugar, vanilla, and coffee.
T: Flavors are mostly coffee, vanilla, caramel, and toasted malts. There is a light and pleasant bitterness in the finish but overall this is a sweet beer.
M: Medium to full bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation.
O: Much better than I was expecting, being that Sri Lanka is not one of the places that is renown for stouts. A little too sweet for me personally but a very enjoyable beer and easy to drink.

(Served in a nonic)
A- This beer pours a dark black body but it is not super dense however no light comes through the glass. The only carbonation that can be seen is the few random bubbles stuck to the glass. The head is a creamy thick foam of oatmeal color that fades to a film after a bit.
S- This beer has a dark smooth malt flavor with a note of cream and a slight perfume note to it.
T- This beer has a creamy dark roasted malt flavor with a light band-aid hint and a soft sour note to it. The finish has a very faint alcohol nip in the finish. As the beer warms the note of chocolate malt comes through with the dark roasted malt.
M- This beer has a medium-full mouthfeel but no real alcohol heat.
D- This beer is smooth and mellow but has a nice malt flavor and some subtle depth that is hard to put in words. A bit of some wild notes or perhaps smoked malt but whatever it is, it is soft enough to be intriguing and not offensive.

Touché Drops 'Wild Horses' MP3 Today; Live Shows in NYC and LA Set for 11/29, 12/19 & Today
Touché's "Wild Horses" (Prefab Sprout Cover) MP3 just dropped w/ BrooklynVegan today. Plus, Touché has announced its live shows in NYC and LA this winter!
11/29: Los Angeles, CA @ The Echo
12/19: Brooklyn, NY @ Glasslands
1/4: Brooklyn, NY @ Cameo Gallery
Touché is duo Alex Lilly and Bram Inscore, who explore themes of lust, obsession, fate, and the struggle for control. Touching upon hallucinogenic and esoteric ideas, they aim to find the place where their psyches overlap. The result is anthemic pop pieces darkened by the desires of the human heart and sharpened by personal politics. Finding support from XLR8R & Impose Magazine to Under The Radar & Death & Taxes, Touché's "I'm A Man Not A Machine" single was released last month.
Touché has shared stages with MEN, Active Child, and Daedelus in their hometown of LA. Today they're proud to announce that in addition to a show this week in LA, the duo will be bringing their pop chops to NYC this winter. For another taste of what you'll hear live, check out the new spaced-out "Wild Horses" (Prefab Sprout Cover) MP3 where it premiered with BrooklynVegan today or HERE.
Separately, the two halves of Touché have been involved in a slew of musical projects. Alex's previous project was prog-pop outfit Obi Best and she has played keys and sung back-up for The Bird and the Bee, Ry Cooder, and Nick Lowe as well as recently joining folk supergroup The Living Sisters. Bram has kept busy as touring and recording bassist & keyboardist for acts like Beck, Thurston Moore, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, and is currently a member of Twin Shadow.

I just wanted to thank you for your fast service in shipping my order, it was here within two days. I have also found that your prices are lower than most of the craft stores in and around my town, which I am also thankful for. I am disabled and money is short--every penny counts. So far you have had anything I've needed and shopping online is much better than driving around from store to store, looking for a parking place and waiting in line to fight the traffic back home. Thanks!!!
