Food & Recipes
Agua FrescaJune 30th, 2014UnfeaturedWeekly Recipe:NonWeekly
1 cup finely chopped watermelon
7 cups coarsely chopped watermelon
6 cups watermelon juice
½ cup sugar
1 lime, large and juiced
1 serving water (if needed)
Combine all ingredients in a large serving pitcher. Garnish with watermelon wedges and mint. Source: National Watermelon Promotion Board
Cedar Planked Grilled Portobellos Stuffed With Summer VeggiesJune 30th, 2014UnfeaturedWeekly Recipe:NonWeekly
Fresh vegetables
Olive oil
Portobello caps, medium
While your wood is soaking, grill up some veggies. Suggested vegetables include yellow squash; zucchini; corn; and red, yellow, and orange peppers. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then place on the grill.
For the mushrooms, remove the gills and stems. This provides a nice flat surface for stuffing.
Brush the mushrooms on the bottom with olive oil, and place them on the grill for 2 to 3 minutes—just to get grill marks, caps up. Remove and let them cool completely. If moisture appears, pat with a paper towel.
Fill caps with shredded Asiago cheese, then layer in the veggies. Sprinkle a tiny bit of cheese on top, then lay them back on the plank.
Keep your grill temperature around 350 degrees, and cook for 15 minutes. The cheese will melt underneath and the veggies will become a little more golden. Source: Marie Renello; prouditaliancook.com
Pork Fillet Coated in Honey and Mustard With Grilled ApplesJune 30th, 2014UnfeaturedWeekly Recipe:NonWeeklySERVES 3-4
Pork tenderloin
Apple juice
Dijon Mustard
Olive oil
Soak maple plank in apple juice overnight.
For this marinade, work with a ratio of 2:1 honey to Dijon mustard. Mix. Lightly coat the meat in salt, pepper, and olive oil and then briefly sear on the open grill before placing it on the plank. Brush with the honey and mustard sauce. Slice an apple into wedges and slices, and place these around the fillet on the plank to cook. Cook until the pork is no longer pink. Slice into medallions, garnish with the apple slices, and drizzle the leftover sauce over everything.

Cedar Planked Prosciutto Wrapped ScallopsJune 30th, 2014UnfeaturedWeekly Recipe:NonWeekly
Fresh scallops, sized for entreé or appetizer bites
Fresh rosemary branches
Prosciutto, thinly sliced
Some good choices for wood are cedar, alder, pecan, cherry, hickory, oak, or maple.
Wrap scallops with strips of prosciutto and then skewer with a rosemary branch. Remove all the leaves except those on top.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat your planks on both sides at a medium temperature; when you hear it crackle you know they're ready. You'll also want to rub olive oil on the side of the plank you'll be cooking on—this will prevent sticking and also impart extra flavor. Source: Marie Renello; prouditaliancook.com
Planked Beet HummusJune 30th, 2014UnfeaturedWeekly Recipe:NonWeeklyMAKES 2 CUPS
3 small beets (about 1 pound), trimmed and peeled
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 (15.5-ounce) can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
3 tablespoons tahini
Juice of 1 large lemon (about 3 tablespoons)
½ teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, or 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts, for garnish (optional)
Soak the plank for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
Cut the beets in half and toss with the oil, ½ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the pepper.
Prepare the plank for grilling. Place the beets, cut side down, on the toasted side of the plank. Close the lid and grill for 20 to 25 minutes, or until tender. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. Once the beets are cool enough to handle, roughly chop them and place them in the bowl of a food processor.
Add the garbanzo beans, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, coriander, red pepper flakes, and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper to the food processor. Blend until smooth, 20 to 30 seconds. Garnish with the parsley or pine nuts.

Perfect PlanksJune 30th, 2014
Plank grilling has been an American cooking staple for hundreds of years. With origins tracing back to the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest, planks of cedar, alder, oak, maple, and other woods have been—and still commonly are—used to enhance meats, fish, side dishes, and even desserts using the naturally occurring flavors in the smoke and wood.Unearth the Ancient Art of Plank GrillingBy Samantha Fischer
Herb Roasted ChickenJune 30th, 2014UnfeaturedWeekly Recipe:NonWeeklyServes 4
½ whole chicken
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
½ teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
Juice of ½ lemon
1 orange or lemon, sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
4 rosemary branches
Place chicken in a medium bowl. Add olive oil, herbs, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate chicken, turning occasionally, 1 to 6 hours. Place sliced oranges or lemons on a plank brushed with olive oil. Place rosemary branches on top of oranges or lemons. Place chicken, skin side up, on top of rosemary. Grill or bake at 350 degrees, 50 to 60 minutes or until juices run clear and internal temperature reaches 160 to 170 degrees.
Recipe Variation: Any combination of fresh or dried herbs can be used in this recipe. For a quick meal, simply marinate chicken in prepared oil-based salad dressing of choice. Chicken pieces can be prepared using this technique.

Most people with high blood pressure (hypertension) do not feel any symptoms or know they have hypertension until their blood pressure is measured.
In Season: BlueberriesJune 30th, 2014
July is National Blueberry Month, so what better time to focus on a berry with one of the highest antioxidant capacities—if not the highest—among all fruit? Native to North America, the blueberry's antioxidant properties support whole body functions like regulating blood sugar, eye health, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function.
Craft Brews for a CauseJune 30th, 2014
Although 64 countries require the labeling of GMO foods, the US is not one of them—and the Just Label It campaign is committed to changing that one step at a time. They recently partnered with Peak Organic Brewing, the first brewing company to receive Non-GMO Project verification for its beer. Together, they want to continue the conversation about GMO labeling.

I am NOT an oatmeal fan. I have been searching for over a year to find a way to include oatmeal into my diet. I just don't like oatmeal. I tried steel-cut oats and able to eat a bite or two, but in the end the texture just is a challenge for me. I found this recipe in Bon Appetite (Sept. 2007) and thought it worth a try. It was great! Cook the oatmeal, chill, cut into pieces and cook on a griddle. While it is a two step recipe, it is quick and easy and worth the little bit of planning required. The cakes are even better served with fruit or yogurt. I will never be a big oatmeal fan, but this is a recipe I can include in my meal plan and actually enjoy. Give it a try, your colon will thank you!

34 year old woman | Fairfield, CT, USA | Seeking men 27-47 within 100 miles
Hey there
Hi! I'm a hard-working, fun-loving girl looking for someone to share our lives. People who know me say I am honest, loyal, responsible, and compassionate. I am at the point in my life where it would be great to share things with that special person. For fun, I like day trips to random places, skiing in the winter and walking by the water in the summer. I also enjoy planting flowers, painting, campfires on the beach, outdoor concerts, and curling up with a suspenseful movie or book on rainy weekends. I like to go to bars once in a while if they have karaoke, a pool table or a fusball game, or something else fun to do. I did a good amount of travelling as a teenager, and would love to explore some new places with the right person. I am very family-oriented. My parents, most of my sisters, and my nieces live nearby and I love to spend time with them. I love to be out in nature, and like to spend my spare time doing outdoor activities when the weather is warm enough. Who I'm looking for: A great guy! Who is honest and loyal, who shares some of my interests and who will introduce me to some new things too! Someone who would like to start a family one day. Anything else we want to know about each other, perhaps we'll meet in person to find out. If you like what you see, please send a message or a wink. Thanks for viewing!

Reflection sniper rifle for Star Warfare: Alien InvasionHome / iPhone - iPod /
This page contains Star Warfare: Alien Invasion Hints for iPhone - iPod called "Reflection sniper rifle" and has been posted or updated on Jun 22, 2014 by DARKSHADOW. Let us know what you think of this Hint by thumbs voting.
- Developer: Freyr Games
- Publisher: Freyr Games
- Genre: Action General
- Release Date: Jan 22, 2012
- ESRB: Not Set
Reflection sniper rifle
Must have: Reflection, skill to snipe without zooming in
Should use: Atom or Black hole armor.
The new gun (sniper rifle) Reflection is very over powered and is the first REAL laser gun. Have you noticed that all the laser guns and laser cannon can't shoot through walls like the people in freyr said they could. Well this is a gun that actually can. You just have to aim a little higher then the person your trying to kill and bang! You hit them. Like I said, you should use Atom or Black hole armor (Atom is better) because they add more damage then the original power. In case you don't know, Atom adds 30% damage to all beam weapons and Black hole armor adds 15% damage. I hope this helped you to get more kills.

Willis Condo Rental Photos and Description
1 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom, Sleeps 2 - 4
Come stay with us!
Enjoy your luxurious lakefront condo and private balcony that actually over hangs the lake!
The back wall is all glass (floor to ceiling and wall to wall) and features a 'three mile view' across the lake!
Whether your interest is romance, relaxation, water sports, or just fishing from the balcony, the lake view is ever present and breathtaking!
Your beautifully furnished and tastefully appointed, turn-key one-bedroom waterfront condo comes complete with a fully equipped kitchen (new utensils and modern appliances) and features an in-suite garden tub with jacuzzi jets. Additionally, the luxurious living room opens onto your private balcony, cantilevered out over the lake!
As our guest, you will enjoy complementary access to all of the amenities provided by the Seven Coves Marina & Yacht Club located right next door. These include lakeside swimming pool, lakeside basketball and tennis courts, boat ramp and 24/7 access to covered and well lit community fishing pier!
Just a short walk from your unit, Resort Attractions maintains a fleet of Pontoon boats, Ski boats and Jet Skis available for rental and all of our guests automatically receive preferred reservation status and automatic 15% discounts off regular rental prices.
Since we are located just inside the Piney Woods and border the Gulf Coast Plain, we are blessed to be visited by an astounding variety of migratory birds through out the year. You'll want to keep an 'eye out' for birds you probably don't see very often. Flamingos, swans, pelicans, geese, herons, cranes, egrets, bald and golden eagles and hummingbirds, among many others, periodically make the lake their home for months at a time.
Kids (of all ages) love to feed the ducks and seagulls from the balconies and being located as close as we are to the Sam Houston National Forest, means you're just minutes away from miles of hike and bike trails, canoeing forested shorelines or maybe even spotting an alligator!
Whether your passion is boating, jet skiing, fishing, golf, tennis, swimming, biking, or just relaxing in a wonderfully natural environment; our luxurious units provide a perfect launching point for all of these activities!
We also specialize in special occasions; birthdays, family get-togethers, anniversaries and marriage proposals.
Arranging a romantic sunset or moonlight cruise is a very straight forward process. Would you care to add wine, flowers or even your own private fireworks show?
Just let us know what will make your stay more enjoyable...for YOU!
We'd love to help you make it happen and really look forward to meeting you!
Let us show you the best the Lake Conroe area has to offer!!
- Suitability:
- Low Allergen Environment
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets not allowed
- suitable for elderly or infirm
About Jim Perryman
As Vice-President of Resort Attractions, Inc., I truly enjoy meeting and interacting with our guests and get a great deal of satisfaction from helping them make the most of their visit to Lake Conroe.
Having led an active lifestyle in the Houston area for 40 years and Lake Conroe for almost 10 years, I've become an 'unofficial' expert on southeast Texas and the local area.
I can provide you valuable 'local insight' regarding day trips to Galveston, NASA Space Center, Houston and the Woodlands, as well as the nearby Sam Houston National Forest and the towns of Willis, Conroe and Montgomery.
It will be my pleasure to assist you in any way that I can. Just ask!
In addition to our waterfront condo rental, Resort Attractions also operates a very popular Boat and Jet ski rental business from the Seven Coves Marina & Yacht Club next door.
I live on-site and I am one of the few people that can actually swim to work....I usually walk and my morning commute takes less than three minutes (if I swim it can take up to five).
The point is, if you have an issue or you need something, I (or one of my employees) am always very close, 24/7.
We take great pride in our high percentage of be-backs (guests that have stayed with us before and have decided to return, sometimes 3 or 4 times a year).
And remember, we specialize in special occasions; birthdays, family get togethers, anniversaries and marriage proposals.
And, since I have a fleet of boats at my disposal, arranging a special romantic sunset or moonlight cruise is a very straight forward process.
Would you care to add wine, flowers or even your own private fireworks show?
Just let me know how I can help!!
Jim Perryman purchased this condo in 2003
Why Jim Perryman chose Willis
We chose the Seven Coves area of Lake Conroe for two primary reasons.
First, we just couldn't get very excited about being on the south side of the lake (the 'popular' side). Down there, the lake is too far from the freeway, there's way too much traffic and you can't find the expansive view that we enjoy so much!
More importantly, our property is unique on the lake in that it has a private balcony that actually hangs over the water. We instantly fell in love with this feature!
Every one else has a strip of grass, a sidewalk or a dock between the unit and water. Not so at our place, if you drop something off the balcony,...it WILL make a splash!
Furthermore, the location is close to perfect in many ways. Having a marina and boat ramp right next door on one side, and a resort next door on the other side makes enjoying the lake extremely convenient.
We pay an annual fee to both entities so that our guests can take full advantage of their amenities and everything is within reasonable walking distance (you can drive but you don't have to).
No matter what you do, the lake is always in the background...from the swimming pool to the tennis and basketball courts and the covered playground...the view of the lake is always there!
Personally, I find it extremely relaxing. And, I know our guests do as well!
What makes this condo unique
When prospective customers ask me to confirm that the unit is actually on the lake, I enjoy reassuring them by saying, 'It couldn't be any more on the lake, unless it was IN the lake'.
Invariably, when they arrive, they say something like, 'Wow, you weren't kidding. We are definitely ON the lake!'.
It generally makes for some interesting conversation and our guests are always impressed with our expansive view of the lake!
If you have any interest in fishing, opportunities abound. With a wide variety of species, Lake Conroe is known for good fishing. You can try 'em from your balcony or from over a mile of shoreline and docks or the covered and lit community fishing pier.
Somebody is catching something virtually every day of the year. It might as well be you!
And remember, if you need some poles, just ask!
Whether your passion is boating, jet skiing, fishing, golf, tennis, swimming, biking, or just relaxing in a wonderfully natural environment; our luxurious units provide a perfect launching point for all of these activities!
Guestbook comments from the owner
My wife and I stayed for weekend and it was great! Clean, well stocked, comfy bed, nice sunrise view, etc... Jim is definitely great and accommodating. He also manages boat/jetski rentals for additional convenience. Next door is a sunset boat dinner tour that you can take as well as a swimming pool but we never made reservations and the swimming pool was a little cold at the time. I'd recommend getting food and eating in. The view is very nice and would be a waste if nobody was there to watch it as the sun goes down. I'd highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway where you can just kick back and relax with some home cooked meals.

Haredim in Mea Shearim 150.
(photo credit:Marc Israel Sellem)
I am a Zionist on every level. This created a challenge for me when I studied in
a haredi (ultra-Orthodox) yeshiva in Jerusalem where rabbis never mentioned
Israel's Memorial Day, Israel's Independence Day, or Jerusalem Day. No prayers
were said for the state or on behalf of the IDF soldiers. These omissions
disturbed me but my arguments about the magnitude of our return to Israel and
Jerusalem fell on deaf ears.Why? Because "the state is secular," it is a
non-kosher entity. Any official acknowledgement of its holidays and the
recitation of special prayers associated with the state would be giving
legitimacy to a body which was foreign to Torah and the values the yeshiva
espoused. On that basis, my pleas were entirely ignored.This was
unacceptable to me. While I needed no sources to validate what I knew to be
right, since the primary message conveyed in a haredi yeshiva is that the Torah
is the well spring for our ideologies and must serve as our guiding light
through life, I decided to explore what Torah sources had to say about Zionism
and the role which the State of Israel plays in our faith. Perhaps this could
sway my mentors and friends. This search led to remarkable results.The
most glaring sources relate to the flourishing of the fruits of Israel. The
Bible relates in Leviticus 26:32 that while the Jews are in exile, Israel will
remain desolate. The implication, taught outright by the 11th-century Spanish
rabbi and philosopher Bahya ibn Paquda (Rabbeinu Bachya in his commentary to
Genesis 17:8), is that the reversal of that desolation indicates the end of the
exile. This sign is stated more clearly by the prophets. Ezekiel (chapter 36),
Isaiah (chapter 51), and Amos (chapter 9) all describe the growth of trees and
fruits in Israel as an indication of the arrival of the messianic age.In yeshiva, great weight is placed on talmudic teachings. Turning to
the Talmud for clarification, I found that the most obvious sign of the redemption is that the fruits of Israel will grow once again (Tractate Sanhedrin
98a). The Talmud also teaches in Tractate Megilla (17b) that the final
redemption begins with the in gathering of the exiles, followed by t e
flourishing of the fruits of Israel, and concludes with the arrival of the Messiah and the rebuilding of the Temple.This idea was concretized by
the revered Rabbi Akiva Eiger just 200 year s ago when he taught that if we
succeed in growing fruit in Israel then t he final redemption is imminent (as
related by his student, Rav Zvi Hirsch Kalischer, Shivat Zion, volume 2, pp.
51-52).No one can refute the reality that after thousands of years of
desolation, Israel is now flourishing and producing fruits. Anyone who agrees
with the most basic haredi tenet, that the words of the Bible, Prophets, Talmud and the great rabbis serve as the basis of our faith, must conclude that
the flourishing of trees and fruits i n Israel indicate that we are experiencing
a significant step toward redemption.Since the flourishing of the land
was brought about by the Zionist movement and its drive to create the State
of Israel, one cannot avoid the conclusion that Zionism and the state, at the
very least, play important roles in the messianic process.But what about
the claim that monumental steps towards the Messiah's arrival cannot possibly
be driven by secular leaders? This argument holds no weight. The Bible, especially in the book of Kings, reveals that God is willing to perform great
miracles and brings salvation through individuals far more anti-religious than
any of the state's secular founders and leaders.King Ahab, who married a
non-Jew, encouraged idol worship and stood silent while his wife killed
prophet s was told by a prophet that he would lead troops to miraculous victory
(see Kings I 20:13-14). Omri, identified as a greater sinner than all the wicked
Jewish kings before him, (Kings I 16:25), merited a long-lasting dynasty
because he added a city to the Land of Israel (Sanhedrin 102b) despite the fact
that his intention in adding that city was to eliminate Jerusalem as the focus
of the Jews! The secular leaders of the State of Israel most certainly have
more noble intentions in building Israeli cities and, thus, can certainly merit
playing a role in the redemption process.Kings I, Chapter 14 describes
Yeravam as a terrible sinner who caused others to sin, as well. Despite his sins, he led the Jews to victory in restoring the borders of Israel. The Bible its
elf explains that the time came for this "redemption" and God used whoever the
leader was at the time, despite his being irreligious.Rabbi Yehuda Loew
(the "Maharal of Prague" 1520-1609), teaches (Gevurot Hashem, chapter 18) that
" ...the Messianic King will establish a new kingdom, which will emerge from
the first kingdom that will precede it. This is so because the holy kingdom of
Israel, which has an inherent, divine status, sprouts from an unsanctified
kingdom."According to the Maharal, there actually must be a secular
government as a precursor to the arrival of t he Messiah. This means that God specifically chose a government made up of secular leaders to pave the way for the
final redemption! But what about the haredi principle of "da'at Torah" which
means an obligation to heed the opinions of t he rabbis even if these go against
what we understand to be correct? Doesn't this concept mean that we cannot
pray for a state and its soldiers or celebrate its existence if our great
rabbis do not identify with its importance or see it as a cause for
celebration? The following quotes from great haredi rabbis debunk this
argument: Rabbi Zvi Pesach Frank, a judge on Rabbi Shmuel Salant's rabbinic
court and former chief rabbi of Jerusalem, referred to the creation of the State
of Israel as "the beginning of redemption" (Kuntras Har Zvi in Drishat Tzion,
p. 48).Rabbi Chatzkal Sarna, Rabbi Zalman Sorotzkin and Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Auerbach signed a document on 20 Tevet, 5709, (1949) than king God for
granting them the privilege of witnessing "the first buds of t he beginning of
the redemption through the establishment of the State of Israel" (referenced by
Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef in Yabia Omer Orach Chayim 6:41).Rabbi Eliezer
Waldenberg taught that "the ingathering of the Exiles alone is the sign of the
beginning of the final redemption" (Tzitz Eliezer 7:49).There really is
no escaping it. Haredim, who accept the Bible, the Talmud, and the rabbis
throughout the ages as conveying the word of God, should embrace Zionism and
the State of Israel as positive developments and essential to the redemption
process.I look forward to the day when all fellow haredim will open
their eyes to see these clear sources and join to get her with the rest of Israel
to pray for t he welfare of our soldiers (and even serve as soldiers,
themselves!), mourn those who have been killed in the line of duty, and
celebrate the great miracles of our independence and return to
Jerusalem.The author is an ordained rabbi, author, educator and

The Celtics will answer few questions in the final 13 games, but Danny Ainge must solve one: Are Rajon Rondo and Avery Bradley the starting backcourt of the future?
"I think that's the key question," admitted Celtics coach Brad Stevens.
If Wednesday's performance against the Heat was any indication -- a combined 32 points, 16 assists and 14 rebounds in a 101-96 upset of the two-time defending NBA champions -- it's an affirmative. A thousand times, yes. Re-sign them both.
"We just work very well off each other," said Bradley. "I love playing with him."
In just his third game back from an ankle injury, the undersized two-guard was his usual self defensively, holding Dwyane Wade to 17 points on 17 shots, and his new self offensively, scoring a game-high 23 points on a career-high six 3-pointers.
"He shot the ball extremely well, he guarded the ball extremely well and he looked like himself," said Rondo, who again praised Bradley's extra work on his jumper.
Of course, Rondo's vintage effort against Miami didn't require a jump shot. Instead, he dominated as the game dictated, distributing seven assists to five different teammates in the first quarter alone, collecting 10 rebounds on a night when no one else grabbed more than five and finding the floater (twice) that's escaped him since his return, giving the C's leads of 99-94 and 101-96 in the final two minutes.
"He's our leader, and he's our star player," said Bradley. "We always look to get the ball in his hands, because we know he's going to make the right plays."
Bradley and Rondo both had the athleticism to be lottery picks, but fell to 19th and 21st, respectively, and that continues to be a driving force for each of them. Quietly, stubbornly, they set out to prove everyone wrong. For the most part, it's worked.
"Between the both of them, they attack," said Ray Allen, who earned his 14 points, "so you do have to be very alert when you're out there on the floor." That praise comes reluctantly from a guy who lost his job to Bradley and his team to Rondo.
Of course, Ainge's options for his future backcourt are far more complicated than one game against a Miami team sans LeBron James in the NBA doldrums of March.
Between Bradley's shoulders and ankles and Rondo's knee and ankles, the two have only played a combined 19 games together over the past two seasons. As a result, Stevens knows little of his starting backcourt. In his postgame press conference, he used phrases like, "They seem to be a good match," and, "It seems to be a fit."
"We don't have a whole lot of sample size to work with," the Celtics coach admitted.
"It has been frustrating," copped Bradley, whose never played more than 64 games in a season. "We've both had injuries, but we get a chance to finish the last 13 games off playing with each other, going out there and showing them what we can do."
Ideally, they're a lethal combination. Defensively, Bradley locks down one opposing guard, allowing Rondo to thrive at what he does best, playing the passing lanes. Offensively, Rondo finds Bradley on the opposite end of those same passing lanes, where the latter thrives from the right corner (42.3 3P%) and elbow (46.9 FG%).
"I would love it," Bradley said of remaining the four-time All-Star's backcourt mate. "I would love to play for Boston, and I would love to play with Rondo, so I wouldn't mind it at all. I'm pretty sure any guard in the NBA would love to play with Rondo."
But Ainge can't build around them on ideals alone, especially since Bradley becomes a restricted free agent this summer and Rondo an unrestricted one the next. Rumors circulated prior to the season that Bradley and the Celtics were $2 million apart annually in contract extension discussions, which seems too close to not eventually get something done for a 23-year-old All-Defensive guard averaging 14.1 points.
But Rondo isn't an easy case, either. Come draft night in June, Ainge will be faced with the difficult choice of trading his lottery pick for a veteran piece to pair with Rondo or trading Rondo for a younger piece to pair with his lottery pick. How Rondo meshes with Bradley over the final month of the season may influence that decision.
"Time will tell, right?" said Stevens. Only the clock is running out on that question.

ZURICH—Swiss voters on Sunday overwhelmingly backed a plan giving shareholders sweeping authority over executive pay, the latest in a series of moves aimed at curbing what is seen as excessive remuneration levels at top companies.
Roughly 68% of those who voted supported the Minder Initiative, named after the businessman and politician who created it, according to the government. The 24-item measure enables shareholders of Swiss companies to approve or block proposed compensation for corporate executives and board members.
The plan, dubbed the "rip off" initiative by the country's media, bans so-called golden-handshake and golden-parachute severance agreements. It also requires greater transparency on loans and retirement packages for senior executives and directors.
Adoption of the Minder rules will affect all companies listed in Switzerland.

UBS and Novartis didn't respond to requests for comment.

More quote details and news » , are more stringent than those in many other countries and might serve as a model for proponents of stricter corporate governance elsewhere.
Switzerland's proposals, developed by lawmaker Thomas Minder, have drawn fierce criticism from the country's business community, including the influential Economiesuisse and Swissmem lobbies. Business leaders urged voters to choose a weaker plan put forward by the government that would have given shareholders a nonbinding say on corporate pay, and warned that passage of the Minder Initiative would cost the country jobs.
Christa Markwalder, a lawmaker from the pro-business Free Democratic Party, said she didn't think passage of the initiative would lead to an exodus of companies from Switzerland but would attract attention from other countries studying corporate-governance policies. "Certainly, the results of [Sunday's] referendum will send a signal to the rest of the world," she said.
Valentin Vogt, president of the Swiss Employers Association, said his organization regretted passage of the plan but added that its members would work to formulate methods for implementing its provisions. "It is up to us now to help regulate the strengthening of shareholder rights," Mr. Vogt said. Still, he said members of the Swiss Employers Association would resist any further attempts to set corporate-pay policies.
How quickly the elements of the Minder plan will be implemented remains an open question. The proposals will now go to the government, which will draw up appropriate legislation.
Proponents say the plan could be implemented as early as 2014, but opponents of the measure say parliamentary procedures and legal issues could delay its implementation until 2015 or even later.
Peter Nobel, an economics professor at the University of Zurich, said passage of the Minder Initiative "will create years of uncertainty for Swiss companies regarding which legal corporate-governance rules will apply to them."
Approval of the plan comes amid other efforts to rein in executive pay. The European Union last week moved to impose a strict limit on bank executives' bonuses that forbids bonuses from exceeding a banker's fixed salary without shareholder approval. Even with such approval, flexible pay can only rise to twice the level of fixed salary. Claudio Kuster, secretary of the Minder Initiative, said the EU's decision helped persuade Swiss voters to support the referendum.
In the U.S., the Dodd-Frank financial-overhaul law gave shareholders a nonbinding say-on-pay vote starting in 2011. Other countries, including the Netherlands, the U.K. and Norway, also have forms of say-on-pay votes with varying degrees of strictness.
The Minder Initiative is much tougher than those in most other countries. Violators can be penalized with fines of as much as six times annual salary or imprisonment of as much as three years.
Mr. Minder's message, which he has delivered for more than four years, has fallen on fertile ground, particularly since the government was forced to bail out UBS, the country's largest bank, in 2008. Hefty signing bonuses for ABB Ltd. head Joe Hogan and UBS's German chairman, Axel Weber, also provoked public criticism of corporate compensation.
The Minder Initiative's success was also helped last month when Daniel Vasella, the departing chairman of Novartis, said he would receive 72 million Swiss francs ($76 million) over six years as part of an exit package. The pharmaceutical company scrapped the pay plan after it stirred controversy and provoked resentment across the country.
Preliminary results from Sunday's vote indicate that the initiative received unanimous support from all of Switzerland's 26 cantons, the government said. The vote in favor of the plan is one of the highest ever achieved in a Swiss referendum, according to Swiss television. A 1993 vote on a national holiday policy set a record, with 84% of voters supporting it.
"We are delighted at the result, and especially the level of support, which we didn't expect," said Mr. Kuster, the Minder Initiative secretary.

Both mod alerts were placed in 'pending' status by another non-podium mod prior to my dealing with them, so that is the only theory I can come up with as to why you would think they had not been dealt with when they were 'closed'.
The "vice of specialization" entails the denial of intellect. "It is a denial because it rests on the superstition that understanding is identical with professional skill. The universal formula is: 'You cannot understand or appreciate my art (science) (trade) unless you practice it.' " - Jacques Barzun
This is part of why I don't like ignore lists. It makes it hard to accurately see what's going on.

Can we MA "I'm putting you on ignore" type of posts as personal attack? Because that's all they really are.

How about posters who claim to have put someone on ignore and then continue attacking that person in posts to other people?

Haha Harry Reid
I actually have to disagree with this one as being a "personal attack".
For one, you have to be incredibly thin-skinned to view that as a personal attack.
Second, if they are putting you on the ignore list, you never have to worry about them again, no? So, what does it matter if that's the last thing they ever say to you? WTH.... this is the internet. what some schmoe on sd's thinks of me is irrelevant. Odds are, if I've pissed you off that much where you put me on your ignore list, the world just became a better place.
Personally, it would help me as a poster to know who is putting me on their ignore list so that I can reciprocate the favor. I'm a strong believer of the ignore list and think that it's one of SD's better features.
Harry Reid is a footnote in history now...
"Subhuman Mongrel"
I dis not read that as Dr Wu agreeing that putting someone on ignore is a personal attack. But that is me.

Did the rules change or can we now just make up news headlines to suit our needs?
I see this...
