This time of year is so, so hectic (though we probably always feel like our lives are crazy busy, right?). When I think of an easy fall dinner, I often base its viability on a simple pre-trick-or-treating test. Basically, is it something that could be easily made and quickly served to a family (friends included!) before heading out for a wonderfully chilly evening of trick-or-treating and other Halloween fun? To pass this test, the dish must be: 1. Easy. 2. Reasonably quick and require little prep work. 3. Have some sort of protein/substance to it to combat the gallons of candy that will inevitably follow. Look no further, friends! This puff pastry with ham and Gruyère is the stuff that Halloween nights were made of.
Yes, puff pastry is something you could theoretically make yourself, but even Ina Garten says she buys it at the store, so until some super ambitious day in the future, I'm following suit. Trader Joe's has a version out now for the holidays with zero soy (huzzah!), so we're stocking up. Because, guys, the real truth of the matter is you never know when you'll need to wrap something in pastry dough.
The recipe for this is hardly much of a recipe at all. Roll out some puff pastry, slather on some mustard, arrange some ham and cheese on top, and then top it off with the other piece of pastry dough. Add an eggs wash, and you're done. Even without much effort, puff pastry has an amazing way of elevating something super basic to something that feels a little fancier. Truth be told, I think this dish especially fits my vision of a Halloween dinner because it feels like a more grown-up version of the crescent roll-wrapped mummy dogs that frequent Halloween spreads. You remember those, right? They're a festive spin on pigs in a blanket, no doubt. But something about ham and Gruyère in a puff pastry seems a bit more elegant than a hot dog in pop-and-bake dough, even though they are most definitely related. Cousins, at least. (And not to knock the mummy dogs. Add a mustard face, and those things are delish.) I'd happily serve this to company, even on a non-Halloween night.
Puff Pastry with Ham and Gruyère
From Ina Garten
• 1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
• 2 tablespoons mustard (Dijon, horseradish, whatever you fancy)
• ¼ pound black forest ham, sliced
• ½ pound Gruyère cheese, sliced
• 1 egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon water, for egg wash
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F, and place a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan.
Lay 1 sheet of puff pastry on a floured board or countertop, and carefully roll it out to about 10 by 12 inches. Place it on a sheet pan and brush it with the mustard, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge. Layer the ham on top of that, leaving the same border, followed by the cheese. Brush the border with the egg wash.
Roll the second sheet of puff pastry out on the floured board or countertop to the same 10 by 12 inches. Place the second sheet on top of the filled pastry, and line up the edges as best you can. Cut the edges straight with a small knife if you need to, and then press together lightly. You can use the tines of a fork to help seal the edges in place. Brush the top with egg wash, and cut a few slits in the top so steam can escape.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until pastry is puffed and golden brown. Allow it to cool for a few minutes. Serve hot or warm.
[Note: I actually halved this recipe, and it worked out really well. Instead of using two sheets of puff pastry, I just used one, rolled out to 10 by 12 inches and then cut in half (making one sheet the top layer and one sheet the bottom). Use half the amount of filling, and bake for about 20 minutes. Results should be the same!]
I think there are some pretty great spins you could probably take with this. Green apples and Brie maybe? Or leftover Thanksgiving turkey, Gruyère and cranberry sauce? What do you think?

I think most people, buried in the to-do lists of their day-to-day lives, probably have some sort of pipe dream, an "I'll do this someday when life slows down and the timing is right" sort of thing, that they keep coming back to when day jobs get too busy, overwhelming or stressful, and they just feel like throwing in the towel and running in a totally different direction. For Jared and I, that pipe dream involves moving to some sleepy coastal town and opening a great little coffee shop/bakery/bookstore/art gallery, where we spend our days covered in flour (me), drinking copious amounts of coffee (him) and chatting with customers about Hemingway, Dickens and the latest local artist whose work adorns our walls.
I'll admit, on a lot of days, that dream sounds pretty awesome. Peaceful. Slower. Quiet. But of course, there are dreams, and there is real life. There are real jobs to do, real bills to pay, real needs to fill. Oh, and there are those pesky student loans, too. Student loans for educations that, though certainly fueled and arguably achieved through mountains of coffee and books, have very little to do with running a small business that caters to such things. So for now, we keep dreaming. And that's probably a good thing.
So we can't have the pipe dream now. But you know what? I have a fridge full of fruit that needs to be eaten and enough butter, flour and sugar to guarantee a happy day. So I bake. There's something about making tarts, especially simple, rustic fruit tarts, that makes me feel a lot closer to that someday dream. I don't know that I want to roll cookies out all day or wait for yeasty dough to rise, but tarts? Tarts I could spend every morning on. I love the simple dough, I love the flexibility in the filling, and I love that no matter how or what you squish inside that little mold, it comes out looking delicious, beautiful and intentional. I only made four for this recipe, and I would have happily made 50. In fact, maybe I should further specify that highly specific dream of ours: coffee shop/bakery/bookstore/art gallery/destination tart shop. Yep, that sounds perfect.
This recipe is pretty forgiving, so feel free to experiment with the fruit filling. Just add a tablespoon or so more flour if your fruit is especially juicy. And for the crust, you can easily sub out almond extract for the vanilla or switch up the oils (the original recipe recommends ¼ cup canola oil and ¼ cup olive oil). Just top the finished product with a good-sized dollop of whipped cream, and you'll be in good shape.
Blueberry Nectarine Tarts
Adapted from Amanda Hesser, Food52.com
• 1 ½
cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoons kosher salt
• ¾ cups plus 1 teaspoon sugar
• ½ cup canola oil
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
• 4 small ripe nectarines
• a handful of fresh blueberries
Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, ½ teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon sugar. In a small bowl, whisk together the canola oil, milk and vanilla. Add the wet mixture to the flour mixture, and mix gently with a fork, just enough to dampen (you don't want to overwork the dough!).
Divide the dough among your small tart pans (I used four 4-inch pans and had a little more dough than I needed; six 3-inch pans would probably be perfect. You could also use one 11-inch tart pan). Use your hands to pat out the dough so it covers the bottom of the pans, pushing it up the sides until it reaches the top. It should be about 1/8-inch thick all around. Trim away the excess dough.
In another bowl, combine ¾ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, ¼ teaspoon salt and the butter. Use your fingers to pinch the butter into the dry ingredients until crumbly.
Starting on the outside, arrange the nectarines overlapping in a concentric circle over the crust, and fill in the extra space however you like to snuggly fit in as many slices as you can. Squeeze the blueberries in next to the nectarines, dividing them evenly among the tarts.
Sprinkle the crumbly butter mixture over top (it will seem like a lot), and bake the tarts for 30 to 35 minutes, until the crust is starting to brown and the fruit is bubbly. (A larger tart will likely take a five to 10 minutes longer). Cool tarts on a rack. Serve them warm or room temperature with lots and lots of whipped cream.

We eat strawberries nearly every day of the year in our house because Beany and I can't get enough of them, but summer strawberries are by far the best of the bunch. They are amazingly juicy, amazingly sweet and amazingly not $5 a quart right now. So strike while those fields are hot!
In honor of this grand strawberry season, here are five of my favorite strawberry-filled desserts, perfect for your Fourth of July cookout.
Strawberry tarts with lemon zest
Three-ingredient strawberry sorbet
Angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream
Happy Fourth of July, pals!

When we lived in Missouri, Jared and I had a beast of a grill that took up about a third of the deck space at the back of our small apartment. It sat largely unused for a good five months of the year, but once the weather warmed up enough for Jared to remove his snow gear, we put the grill to use at least three or four times a week (though I do recall a few winter grilling sessions that required the use of gloves). When we moved to North Carolina though, our new place had one of those "no grilling within 10 feet of the premises" rules, so there was no sense in moving a behemoth hunk of stainless steel 920 miles across the country just to let it sit. We left it behind, the poor thing. I guess every grill has its day.
Summer is certainly the season for grilling, but we're now living in our second no-grills-allowed apartment and have had to get a little creative to satisfy summer cravings without becoming wild tong-wielding rule-breakers. We finally bought a cast-iron skillet last weekend to try our hands at cooking steak inside, and I'd say it gave our memories of grilled steaks a run for their money (minus the three fire alarms and frantic fanning of lingering smoke, of course). For this barbecue chicken salad though, we fired up the ol' panini press as a grilling substitute. And you know what? Not only does it taste pretty great, but it's also amazingly fast. It's not quite like the real deal, but it gets the job done with the bonus of adding those dandy grill marks.
The rest of this salad comes together super easily, and it's one of those great recipes that's really more of a loose guideline than a hard blueprint. Add what you love, skip what you don't love, throw it all in a bowl, and you're done. Aside from grilling (see also: panini-ing) the chicken, it's low maintenance and cooking free. Now go forth, and chop!
Chopped Barbecue Chicken Salad
Serves 4
• 6 to 8 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
• 12 ounces to 1 pound grilled chicken, cut into small bite-sized pieces
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 ½ cups corn (cooked, straight from the cob or however you like it)
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, diced
• ¼ to ½ cup diced red onion
• grated cheese for sprinkling (cheddar always goes well with barbecue)
• ranch dressing (here's a homemade version we like)
• barbecue sauce
* Other fun additions: hard-boiled eggs, avocados, crumbled bacon, olives, tortilla strips
Put all of the ingredients except the cheese, dressing and barbecue sauce into a large bowl, and give the salad a good toss. Top individual salads with a bit of grated cheese and an even drizzle of ranch and barbecue sauce. Enjoy!
I'm a big fan of making things that we can get two meals out of, and this salad keeps really well for a few days in the refrigerator as long as you leave the dressing and barbecue sauce off until the day you eat it. And when it says it serves four, that's a healthy dose of salad, like for a whole meal, so it could definitely be stretched further if you serve it alongside some good bread or something else to help fill the tummies. It's a new favorite for us and definitely in the weekly rotation for these warm-weather days.
What's your favorite throw-it-together meal? Any other creative non-grill-owning grillers out there? What's on the menu now that the weather is getting warm?

Happy Easter! This post is popping up a little later than planned, but I suppose that's life with a newborn and a toddler in the house. And a puppy. Yep, that puppy is wild, too.
In case any of you are still on the lookout for an Easter-ready dessert (or a feels-like-spring dessert for that matter), look no further. This lemon ginger bundt cake comes together in a snap and tastes as happy as it sounds. I love that it uses crystallized ginger instead of ground. Have you cooked or baked much with it? It's pretty fun, delicious stuff. Zingy and bright and just what spring is supposed to taste like. I'm currently in search of new gingery recipes so I can use up the rest of it.
In other news, Beany went to her very first Easter egg hunt yesterday and had a pretty great time. Fortunately, she didn't realize all the sugar that came hidden inside those eggs until the very end of the hunt, so we managed to escape without her getting too incredibly sugar filled. Of course, now in her zeal for jellybeans and chocolate, she's requesting eggs by the dozen.
Hope your Easter is a good one, too!
Lemon Ginger Bundt Cake
Adapted just slightly from Martha Stewart
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest and 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 ½ cups granulated sugar
• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream
• powered sugar for dusting
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, and grease a 12-cup bundt pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, lemon zest, ginger, baking soda and salt.
Beat together the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Blend in the lemon juice and vanilla.
With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture and sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Blend until just incorporated. Spoon batter into prepared pan, and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then turn it out onto a rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

I think it's safe to say that we're officially in the thick of a true Boston winter. There's snow on the ground. Snow on the rooftops. Snow in piles. Snow on the way. It's icy and slushy and downright cold. But you know what? It's pretty glorious. Sure, native Bostonians and more experienced East Coast residents are still meeting our winter enthusiasm with mild shock and a lot of, "Just wait until mid-March, and you won't love it so much," but for now our family is definitely enjoying this long-lasting winter wonderland. If it's going to be cold, it might as well be snowy. And we have plenty of both.
Cold weather does call for comfort food though, the kind that warms you up from the inside out and makes you feel good and cozy on a truly blustery day. You can certainly go the soups and stews route, but for me, nothing says comfort like pasta. So pasta we shall have! And this pasta we have had, in fact — weekly at least — for a solid month. Maybe that's why we're still loving all this snow.
Fettuccine with Garlic Cream Sauce and Sautéed Tomatoes
Adapted from The Kitchy Kitchen
• 16 ounces fettuccine
• ¼ cup olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• ½ cup cream
• 2 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, finely chopped
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic, and sauté just until golden, about 30 seconds to a minute. Add the tomatoes, crushed red pepper, salt and black pepper. Lower heat, and sauté, tossing occasionally, until tomatoes are soft, another 7 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot you keep the pan.
In the meantime, cook the fettuccine to al dente, according to package instructions. When the pasta is nearly finished cooking (and the tomatoes are soft), add the cream to the pan with the tomatoes, give everything a good stir and heat the sauce until it's almost simmering. Add the lemon zest and thyme, and stir to combine.
Pour the hot garlic cream sauce over the pasta, and toss to coat. Serve with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
How are you staying warm and cozy this winter season? Good food? Good friends? A good vacation void of snow and ice? Do tell!

Anyone who's a parent will probably tell you that, despite all of the times and all of the ways that they feel they're falling a bit shy of the mark, there are at least a few parenting-related things that they feel pretty good about. It's been true for us. Yes, we cave to demands for extra bedtime snuggles, use disposable diapers and Beany watches more Mickey Mouse Clubhouse than a doctor might recommend, but when it comes to her diet and nutrition, we've tried to stay pretty up and up with good-for-you eats and made-from-scratch desserts. Not always, but most of the time. And it's worked out pretty well so far.
After two years of eating this way, not only does Beany seem to have pretty good taste for a toddler, but she's also developed a rather discerning palate when it comes to baked goods. This has translated into outright refusal of nearly any prepackaged or non-homemade sweet. We're talking birthday cake at parties, snacks at the grocery store, even Oreos. She'd happily eat ginger spice cookies, banana muffins or brownies as the day is long, but hand her something that you didn't bake yourself, and somehow her toddler super senses kick in, and she instinctively turns up her nose. This was true for a long, long time. But then, we went to Grammy's house.
One day after lunch, Grammy pulled out a "special cookie" from deep inside the pantry. It was a Fig Newton. "I doubt she'll eat it," I told my mom when she asked if Beany could have one. "But she can try it. We'll see what she does."
Beany looked at the cookie skeptically, took a teeny tiny nibble from the top and then proceeded to eat the entire thing. In three bites! Mouthful of cookie and face covered in crumbs, she smiled the smile of a kid who finally understood the joys of processed sweets. If 2-year-olds have vices, Beany had found hers, wrapped in a square of fig and pastry.
It's hard to deny your child something that you know brings them so much joy, and I dare say that our girl looked nearly euphoric every time she had a Fig Newton during that three-week vacation. Upon returning home, however, before I let myself succumb to the call of the prepackaged grocery store cookies, I vowed to give the homemade version a try, just to see if I could win back Beany's sensibilities. If you have a Fig Newton-lover in your house, and you're willing to put in the extra time and effort that the homemade route demands, this recipe is spot on. Steaming the cookies as soon as they're done baking gives them that unmistakable Fig Newton texture, and the flavor is just like the original but amplified a bit with extra orange zest and vanilla.
Thankfully, after a sideways glance or two, Beany was willing to try them last night, and though her response wasn't overwhelmingly this-is-so-amazing the first day, by day two she heartily approved. Of course, I haven't offered her the packaged vs. homemade challenge, with the two options side by side. Honestly, I'm too scared of the results.
Homemade Fig Newtons
Recipe from petitbleu, Food52.com
For the pastry:
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
• 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 2/3 cups brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• zest of one orange
For the filling:
• 1 pound dried figs, cut into small pieces
• ½ cup water
Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl, and set aside. Then beat the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla and orange zest, and beat until well combined.
Using a spatula, gently fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until well blended. (The dough will be super soft.) Spoon the dough out onto a piece of plastic wrap, shape it into a disc, and refrigerate it overnight.
In the meantime, make the fig filling by combining the figs and water in a medium saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, put on the lid, and allow the water to boil until the figs have absorbed it. (If the figs are still not soft, add a bit more water and allow it to simmer a bit longer.)
Transfer the figs to a food processor, and pulse them until the mixture is completely smooth. Allow the filling to cool.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Place a large piece of parchment on your work surface, and flour it liberally. Divide the chilled dough into four pieces. Place one piece of dough on the parchment, and return the others to the refrigerator until you're ready to use them.
Shape the piece of dough into a rectangle by squaring it on the work surface, and then roll the dough, into a long rectangle, about 4 inches wide by 12 inches long. Make sure you keep lifting the dough and flouring the parchment. The super soft dough will stick easily if you don't keep checking it.
Place the fig filling into a pastry bag or a large Ziploc bag with one corner cut off. Pipe the filling in a 1-inch strip down the center of the dough rectangle. (To help flatten out the filling a bit, dip your fingertips in water and gently press down on the filling.) Fold one side of the dough over the filling, then the other. Press down on the seam to close it. Then flip the cookie roll over, seam-side down. Transfer it carefully to a baking sheet, and refrigerate while you repeat this step with the other three pieces of dough. (Per Jared's super smart suggestion, I used the metal ruler I already had out to measure my dough rectangle as a base to transfer the cookie rolls. It's 12 inches long, so it worked like a charm.)
Once all four cookie rolls are assembled and on the parchment-lined baking sheet, bake them for 16 to 22 minutes, or until the dough is no longer tacky and begins to brown around the edges.
While the cookie rolls are still warm, cut them into 2-inch cookies. (If necessary, wipe your knife off every so often between cuts; the figgy mixture is pretty sticky.) Immediately place the cookies in a single layer inside a large Ziploc bag or airtight container with the lid on or bag sealed. It sounds weird, but steaming the cookies is what gives them that soft Fig Newton texture. Cool the cookies completely, and then eat and be merry!
Makes about 30 cookies
Have you ever tried homemade versions of your favorite boxed treats? Cookies? Cakes? How about Pop-Tarts? I'd love to hear about it!

WILL Genia has made his case for inclusion in the Wallabies squad that will travel to Europe next week with a strong 40-minute performance in Brisbane City's 37-16 win over the Canberra Vikings in the National Rugby Championship (NRC).
Genia kicked well from the base of the ruck, delivered crisp passes and found himself on the end of a sweeping City movement which sealed victory and third place in the championship.
Brisbane City will travel to face the second-placed NSW Country Eagles on Friday night in the semi-finals, after the Eagles' tight 40-34 win over the Perth Spirit in Dubbo.
The Eagles led 24-8 at half-time and 40-18 inside the final quarter but two late tries had the celebrations on hold.
The Melbourne Rising earned hosting rights with their 47-26 win over Queensland Country at AAMI Park.
The undefeated Melbourne outfit again looked a class above in the 21-point win, as they outpaced, outmuscled and outworked a surprisingly resilient Country side.
The Rising led 34-13 with 30 minutes to play and seemingly cruised through the second term, making it eight wins from eight starts in 2014.
Will Genia and Wallaby team mates arrive at Mendoza Airport on October 1, 2014. Picture: Cameron Spencer/Getty Images Source: Getty Images
Melbourne will face Perth at AAMI Park on Saturday night and will be heavy favourites against a Spirit side who will not bring their Western Force representatives on the road — a policy they have adopted all season.
On Thursday night, the Sydney Stars broke their season-long drought with a 49-40 win over the North Harbour Rays.
The nine-point margin was aided by rugby's first "own try" when Rays prop Mitch Lewis grounded the ball over his own line and the Stars were awarded a try in bizarre circumstances.
The Stars' only win of the season means each team finishes the inaugural NRC campaign with at least one victory.

WEEK FIVE -- March 22nd, 2010 My last journal entry of spring training and as it winds down, there is still lots of time to get at-bats and work in behind the plate. This week, several players got sent down to minor league camp, including myself, as we continue to get our work in. We also had the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes booster club come out and cook a fantastic barbecue for us on Saturday. Some people don't know what the host family and booster club actually do throughout the year for the players to help accommodate them. When i was at Rancho Cucamonga in 2007, we would have road trips early in the morning and they would be out there just as early, providing us with breakfast and snacks and drinks for the trip. They also helped make my family and friends who attended games feel comfortable watching the games. Playing in Cedar Rapids and Rancho, I really do appreciate all the host families that welcomed us players into their homes as treated us as one of theirs for the ye...

Military Biofuels Programs Can Drive Major Economic, Job Growth
The following blog post was originally published in the 25x25 blog and was written by President of the American Council On Renewable Energy, Vice Admiral Dennis McGinn.
The Senate should be commended for overwhelmingly voting this week to eliminate harmful restrictions on the U.S. military's efforts to expand its use of biofuels. Two overwhelmingly bipartisan votes in the upper chamber now focuses attention on the House of Representatives, where some lawmakers are continuing to insist on language in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would prohibit the military – the nation's biggest user of oil and gasoline ‑ from expanding its use of biofuels.

With the election behind us, let's hope this is the end to an ugly era of polarization in American politics. Over the past few years, Americans have listened to political bickering across almost every spectrum of policy on the state and national level. Despite many differences between our two parties, bipartisan support for renewable energy is growing and policymakers should take note. Many different points of view are constantly being expressed on which programs and policies work best, but politicians should understand that Americans expect our government to bring more renewable energy to scale. If Congress extends the Production Tax Credit, one of the most notable renewable energy tax credits by the end of the year, this will be a valuable indication that Washington has the ability to work together to achieve bipartisan policies for the good of the nation.
Pass The PTC For Wind Energy— A Vital Ingredient Of An "All of the Above" Energy Policy
By ACORE CEO and President, Vice Admiral Dennis V. McGinn
During the final sprint to Election Day, Americans will hear political leaders point fingers as they attempt to explain why the U.S. is experiencing slow domestic job growth. We will hear versions of an "all of the above" energy strategy, versions that may not in fact fairly embrace all of our domestic energy resources. Evidence of the lack of consistent support for all sources of energy abounds in Congress's failure to extend the Production Tax Credit (PTC) even as the wind industry has been making significant gains in previous years. If leaders of any party want to truly establish "all of the above" energy strategy that embraces all sources of energy--natural gas, fossil fuels, and renewable energy--on a level playing field, the PTC must be extended.

Grilli Could Provide Detroit's Bullpen Some Needed Relief
Published: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at 4:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at 4:43 a.m.
LAKELAND | Jason Grilli did what Dontrelle Willis wanted to do Tuesday, which could be a bright spot - if it continues - for a beat up Tiger bullpen which would be desperate for help if Fernando Rodney's tendinitis doesn't disappear soon.
Willis, the starter in Detroit's eventual 5-4 win over Cincinnati, was all over the place with his pitches and left early, Grilli replacing him in the third. Grilli kept the ball down, stayed ahead in the count, didn't waste pitches and got a lot of easy outs as a result
"I thought he looked pretty good," Tiger pitching coach Chuck Hernandez said afterwards. Meanwhile Willis was not happy. "My command has to be a lot better," he said. "I've got to zero in and let the defense work a little bit." Willis walked four of the last seven hitters he faced and also gave up a double.
That Grilli can pitch is no secret. "He's got the arm, his fastball gets up to 92, 95 mph," Tiger Manager Jim Leyland commented after returning from Winter Haven where the Tigers had a split squad game with Cleveland.
But Grilli is what is commonly referred to in football as a "coach killer", a player who can be lights out when it doesn't matter and then doesn't live up to expectations when it does.
"There's no question he can help us, he has to be a big part of this team," Leyland said.
And he - or somebody - may need to step up immediately if Rodney's arm woes continue. Rodney threw some long toss Tuesday and is scheduled to throw off a mound Thursday, according to Hernandez. Asked if that meant Rodney was ready to go, Hernandez was evasive. "He'll get it going a little bit," Hernandez replied.
But the Tigers need more than a little bit from Rodney, and therein lies the dilemna. With Joel Zumaya already out, if Rodney can't go, Detroit has no established setup men to get from the starters to closer Todd Jones. And that's like having a $100 million house built on a foundation of quicksand.
Still, and Leyland emphasizes this over and over again, Detroit does not want to rush Rodney back and risk losing him for an extended amount of time like Zumaya.
So the clock is ticking. If Rodney is not full speed by next week, he won't be ready to start the season. There's not enough time left.
While Leyland won't say that, he does admit "time's running out." And he has to be prepared for the worst case scenario, which means opening in April without either of his setup men.
"In that case, we'd probably do it by committee to start and hope someone stepped up and took over," Leyland said. If he trusts his talent, Grilli could be that guy. But the inside track right now probably belongs to Denny Bautista, who throws in Zumaya's speed range at times and may be more temperamentally suited for the job.
In Tuesday's game here, the Tigers went on a power binge with four home runs by Carlos Guillen, Scott Sizemore, Pudge Rodriguez and Brent Clevlen. Rodriguez hit a tape measure job, estimated at about 430 feet.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Scobie A great nights sleep..really I spend way too many nights in hotels, and usually I don't sleep very well. But the beds at the Sheraton Brooklyn were almost as good as mine at home (minus the dogs). Great hotel at a convenient location. March 11, 2013

New Mini Cooper Launched In India For Rs 31.85 Lakh
Article by Hamza Ansari
BMW launched new Mini in India. Reportedly, the company has launched two cars at a time which can be bifurcated as: three-door and five-door version. The three-door version was available earlier too, but the one launched now is a refreshed trim that was unveiled globally during the recent past. The five-door version launched is a practical car and seems the space-vying Indian audience may love it for the reason it offers numerous room for passengers as well as cargo. Though, on a practical note, this big Mini Cooper is still a bit tad on offering the space like other cars, but the company said to have retained that go-kart drive feel for it. Comparatively the three-door version is spacious than its predecessor. Under the hoods, for India, both the cars come powered by a diesel engine as of now. A 1.5-litre twin-turbo engine of 114bhp and 270Nm of torque sends all the traction to front wheels [...]
Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 4×4 Version Of 6×6 Is Under Development: Spy-Shots
Article by Hamza Ansari
If had thought Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 was all that Glendwagens had to offer, needed to think again. As Germans doesn't stop at all, and there isn't a dead-end for any of the G-Class to them, here's one more example that landed fresh from the scoops of spy-shots. As seen, the three-pointed star logoed automaker is testing a 4×4 version of the G63 AMG 6×6, which for some may sound as an act of insanity and vagueness. To comment it in right detail, there is an advantage of the 4×4 over that behemoth to those who use it duel-purposely. The 6×6 couldn't be made possible for the urban commutes due to its massive appearance making a bit unpractical to walk along with the rest on tarmacs, where it would unknowingly crush down some compact cars underneath and may not show remorse. Confirming the changes made to 4×4 as compared to the 6×6, firstly the bed [...]
Mitsubishi Outlander With Diesel Engine To Be Launched In India: Rumours
Article by Hamza Ansari
Mitsubishi Pajero Sport Automatic's recent debut to the Indian shores made good stir in the segment catered to the plush SUV buyers of layman category. But that wasn't the aim of this legendary Japanese carmaker to do with the new launch. As informed by a source, the company is eyeing a bigger pie of share from the market, not by the means of Pajero, instead by re-launching the Outlander with a diesel mill! Earlier, the crossover of Mitsubishi was available with the petrol engine only. Now, to the raking demand of diesel trims in the country it has almost become mandatory for every carmaker to bow down to this fuel-type, which couldn't be left for an exception. The specific time and date of Outlander diesel launch aren't revealed yet. Possibility of the following two engines lay strong for Outlander to be launched, as internationally the model uses the same: 2.4-litre MIVEC, 4-cylinder [...]
Swift Windsong Special Edition Launched In India
Article by Hamza Ansari
Maruti's new arrival for the season, Swift facelift, has just got better with the time. Honed to be a must buy in the list of youngsters, the Indian carmaker has got the ball rolling by launching the hatchback's special edition called as "Swift Windsong". The Swift Windsong was unveiled at a music event in the country, and company said the car to be limited to 100 units only, with prices unknown yet. Comparing the additions or changes made on this car, it gets side skirts, extended bumpers, blackened roof, and decals on sides and couple of black stripes on the bonnet for a more youthful appeal. The headphones witnessed in the images aren't a part of the package. That was plucked for the promotional purpose only. Those yellow wheels are adding a spark to it. Well, it remains unclear whether this Swift facelift special Windsong edition will be available in the petrol or diesel engine [...]

Oct 14, 2012Fishlabs' retro space adventure is a joyous tribute to masterpieces such as Elite and Freelancer. It isn't awfully long and the combat system could be more polished, but updating your space ship and traveling to uncharted star systems is still a treat. [Sept 2012]
Aug 30, 2012Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD is a well made conversion of a good smartphone game. Although the game has some flaws, it keeps you glued to the screen. A fairly big amount of freedom and a very pleasant gameplay model are the game's biggest assets. You could want it to be a more complex, "bigger" game, but you need to remember, that it's not an AAA title and its simplicity should appeal to many players. If you play for no more than 2-3 hours at once, you should have a very good time – especially if you treat GoF2 as an arcade action game and not a space fighter simulator.
Sep 6, 2012Despite the great graphics that could suggest otherwise, Galaxy on Fire II is a game conceived for mobile platforms, and should've stayed right there.
Aug 29, 2012The shallowness of combat and the repetition of everything eventually become wearying. This is a decent game, but it doesn't measure up to the great games from years gone by that clearly inspired it.
Oct 28, 2012Admirably essential in its space-tradingness, but should have stayed on the tablets. [Nov 2012, p.80]
Aug 23, 2012It was a futile idea to release this on the PC. It just shows you the difference between an entertaining, but meaningless mobile spacetrip and a full-fledged space opera à la Elite. In this case almost everything is missing.

Sep 17, 2012What content it does have is enjoyable, but it barely has a story, has a small amount of side missions, and you can get the best ship with the best equipment and dominate the entire small galaxy in a short amount of time. Not worth more than $10 in my opinion. I will be waiting for a massive expansion pack to care about this game ever again.… Full Review »

The Lake District
Just a little 30 hour bus journey got us to Bariloche and the Lake District national park. We spent the day walking round lush green woods and lakes in a really beautiful but still very cold part of Argentina. We spent the morning getting very lost trying to find a walking trail that had been recommended and after two hours of avoiding being eaten by lots of wild dogs, we asked someone and found out we had gotten off the bus way too early and were miles ...
Bariloche - we're goin' truckin'
... chic (it was once a designer's studio) sums it up quite well. We left and had a snack lunch in a national park cafe overlooking the lake. We then decided to take the cable car up the mountain and enjoyed spectacular views of the lake. The lake is huge - not just long but has loads of different bits and pieces, islands etc and when you go past it, there is always another lake! Then back to Bariloche - although the idea of a walk ...

It's the Fourth of July again already!
To celebrate this year, the salmon fishermen of Bodega Bay, Calif., will have an eight-day season.
Despite the fact that few boats are likely to be participating after two years of complete closure and little enthusiasm for the slightly more than weeklong season, the Monterey Bay Aquarium has gone to the trouble to add California and Oregon wild salmon to their "avoid" list.

JHathaway2 I know the gulf oil spill has a lot of folks worried about supplies of local seafood and risk of contamination.
While I must admit that if forced to eat farmed shrimp, I'd prefer "freshwater" prawns from Indiana over any product from overseas (for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the distance Asia-raised seafood has to travel to reach my plate), what I can't stomach is the idea that farmed seafood is inherently safer than wild seafood simply because it's raised in captivity.

The blessing and the curse of the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is that people are still talking about it.
I remember two months after Hurricane Katrina, locals and their advocates were calling for more coverage in the press because it had become a passé subject.
In the last couple of weeks, I've traveled to New Bedford, Mass., for a commercial marine trade show and to central Kentucky for a family gathering. The spill was a major topic of conversation everywhere I went and no matter who I talked to.

While it's difficult to think about anything but the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico these days, our staff is busy preparing for the Commercial Marine Expo next week in New Bedford, Mass.
It's a solemn time for the commercial fishing and commercial marine industries, but there's no better time to gather, discuss the future, and commiserate.

Aside from the overwhelming fears of total ruin in the Gulf of Mexico, one of my biggest concerns about this spill is what it does to the perception of American seafood in general.
Just last weekend I was talking with some friends about overfishing and the film "End of the Line" (which I reviewed in the October '09 issue of National Fisherman), and one of these friends said her reaction to the problem had been basically to stop buying fish. She then said, "Isn't even Alaska salmon overfished?"

JHathaway2 If you haven't seen the video posted on the NF home page, try to take 10 to 15 minutes to watch it.
Sadly, it gives clear insight into the problems fishermen, specifically New England fishermen, are having with NMFS.
The most telling quote, in my opinion, is from Pat Kurkul (NMFS Northeast regional administrator). In response to the problems fishermen and sector managers are having with the lack of preparedness and organization from NMFS on the May 1 implementation of sector (or catch share) management of the groundfish fleet, Kurkul says, "Change hurts."

Blogpic It should come as no surprise that one of the first questions out of people's mouths after the Deepwater Horizon explosion and consequential oil spill is, "What's going to happen to the offshore drilling plan?"
I've heard a lot of folks pronounce this spill as the death knell to Obama's plan, but I find that hard to believe.

JHathaway2 I almost fell off my chair laughing this morning while reading Chris Horton's latest musings about NOAA on ESPN.
Among my favorite quotes was this little jewel, "The agency's focus has always seemed biased toward the commercial fishing sector, while recreational anglers get the crumbs."
Commercial fishermen are feeding families besides their own. They are not out there for sport, but to make a living. Shouldn't they come first when allocating the catch?

Yesterday, officials in Maryland and Virginia announced a second straight year of crab population increases in the Chesapeake Bay.
It's great news for baymen and blue crab lovers, alike.
I have to hand it to the local governments on Chesapeake Bay. While the crab restrictions have been extremely tough on crabbers, the fact that the fishery is on a major rebound speaks well to the management. And in the meantime, Virginia has kept baymen working by removing marine debris.

Blogpic I find it quite curious that when it comes to the practices of American fishermen, we tend to get on a high horse (and rightfully so) about doing everything just right: the best gear that ensures the least bycatch (including, in the case of shrimpers, turtle interactions), leaving enough of the biomass to ensure the long-term survival of the species and bringing the catch to market when the processors and consumers want it the most.
All these factors often add up to high costs for fishermen, which they pass on in the form of dock price, as the market will bear.

How To Glue Shoes
Need to know how to glue shoes, for example, when the sole of a shoe starts coming away from the upper portion of the shoe? This can be both uncomfortable and unsightly. What if it's a favorite tennis shoe? While it is not as common as it once was, adhesive for shoe repair is still available and many people take a day or so and glue that favorite pair of their shoes rather than toss them out.
Before you can glue the shoes, you need the proper glue. Super glue, school glue, glue sticks, and glue guns just will not do the trick. Common brands of shoe glue are available in most drug stores. Shoe adhesives are also available online. Some companies even sell a type of accelerator that can be added to the glue to speed up drying times. If using an accelerator the glue may be nearly set in only a couple of hours.
These are the basic steps to gluing shoes:
- Remove any old glue from the original manufacturer that may be visible at the location that has come apart
- Apply glue to both surfaces (in this case, the sole and the upper part) where the shoe will be pressed back together
- Allow this glue to set for at least 2 minutes, but up to 10 minutes
- Carefully press the shoe together, as it should be, and wipe the edge if any glue seeps out
- Set the shoe on a solid surface and, if desired, place a weighted object on top such as a book or cold, unplugged iron
- Allow the glue to set firm at least 24 hours but up to 72 hours, for maximum strength

August 3, 2009
The Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART) and three of its five unions representing nearly 2,700 employees have reached a tentative agreement on a new four-year contract that meets BART's goal to save $100 million in labor costs.
"I am pleased that a tentative agreement has been reached in the BART contract negotiations this morning without any job actions. The long hours of negotiating proved successful and have shown the great cooperation between BART and its unions during this process," said Labor and Workforce Development Agency Acting Secretary Doug Hoffner in a statement. "This agreement avoids any impact on the daily commute and allows the transit system to continue to provide its valuable services to the Bay Area. I would also like to recognize the tremendous efforts of our state mediators in helping both sides reach this agreement. BART employees and management should be proud of their hard work and the successful outcome it has achieved."
The tentative agreement must be ratified by members of all three unions along with the BART board of directors before it takes effect. In general, the agreement preserves base salaries, caps benefit costs and reforms work rules to make BART run more efficiently.
BART is working to eliminate an estimated $310 million four-year deficit amid a decline in ridership, state transit funding and sales tax revenue. BART will continue to negotiate with its two police unions, which, by law, cannot strike.

Optimer Pharma
's (
) fourth quarter 2011 earnings (excluding special items but
including stock-based compensation expenses) of 38 cents per share
compared favorably with the year-ago loss of 31 cents and the Zacks
Consensus Estimate of breakeven earnings. Higher revenues led to
the improvement.
Quarter in Details
Revenues in the final quarter of 2011 jumped to $64.6 million in
the final quarter of 2011 from $0.15 million in the year-ago
quarter. Revenues were boosted by $53.6 million milestone payment
from partner Astellas Pharma pertaining to the European approval of
Dificlir in December 2011.
We remind investors that Dificlir is available as Dificid in the
US for the treatment of clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea
(CDAD) since July 2011. The drug is marketed by Optimer in the US
in partnership with
Cubist Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
). Revenues in the final quarter of 2011 included $11 million of
net sales of Dificid (up 3.7% sequentially). The Zacks Consensus
Estimate for total revenues was $41 million.
Both selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses (up
488%) and research & development (R&D) expenses (up 103%)
were on the upswing during the reported quarter. The massive
increase in SG&A expenses was primarily attributable to the
costs incurred by Optimer toward the marketing of Dificid. The
increase in R&D expenses was attributable to costs incurred
towards the planning of Dificid's life cycle and for advancing the
Annual Results
For the full year 2011, Optimer earned 36 cents per share (on an
adjusted basis) as opposed to the loss of $1.25 incurred in 2010.
Higher revenues $145 million, up from $1.5 million) helped 2011
earnings. Net sales of Dificid stood at $21.5 million in 2011. The
Zacks Consensus Estimate hinted at a loss of 4 cents per share on
revenues of $122 million.
Our Recommendation
Currently, we have a Neutral stance on Optimer Pharma in the
long run. The company carries a Zacks #3 Rank (Hold rating) in the
short run.

Lima News (Newspaper) - September 9, 1999, Lima, Ohio t w Thursday, Sept. 9, 1999 The Lima News Radio listeners can't get enough of BOB & TOM SHOW /•»fi By BRAD HARVEY Special to The Lima News_ INDIANAPOLIS -You can forgive Tom Griswold for yawning. It's Friday afternoon, and as one-half of the ^dicated radio duo Bob & Tom, Griswold has already clocked in a full day's worth of work. Up since 4 a.m. he's put another Bob & Tom show to bed, conducted an interview with The Associated Press, and planned some of next week's shows with the Bob & Tom staff. Right now, he's calling from his car phone while en route from his show's home base of Indianapolis to Terre Haute, Indiana, where he's scheduled to give another interview at a local TV station. And later that night, he'll perform three sets of live music with the Bob & Tom band. All during the fourteenth hottest July in recorded weather history. "I'm driving throu^i a cornfield now and it's hotter than..." he notes between more yawns. It's a grueling schedule that Griswold approaches with an "I'll sleep when I'm dead" attitude. "It's tou^ gettingup at four in the morning; but onoeyou're up and going, it's fine," he says. "You've got the audience, the took It couldn't be better. "I was at a big radio convention in Minneapolis and t^ere was a guy get-tingan award who'd been in the radio business for 40years. He said he hates getting up at 3 in the morning, but evfeiy day, halfway into work, he can't wait to get in front of the microphone. That really is the way to be." If success equals satisfaction, then Griswold should be one of the most satisfied beings on the planet. In Indianapolis where the show has originated from radio station WFBQ-PM for the last 16 years, it's estimated that one in five people are listening daily to Griswold and his on-air partner Bob Kevoian (pronounced ca-VOY-en). Since going into syndication in January of 1995, the show can currently be heard on 90 radio stations nationwide, including WQTL in Ottawa (106.3 FM), and around the world via the Internet at www.bobandtom.com Both Griswold and Kevoian have won Billboard Magazine's "Radio Personalities Of The Year" award numerous times and have received three Marconi Awards from the National Association of Broadcasters (radio's equivalent of an Oscar), more than any other radio personalities in histoiy. Their most dubious honor may be getting voted ly a reader's poll in a national trade magazine as "The Most Stolen-Prom Show In America" Five daj® eadi week, people tuning into the Bob & Tom show can hear, in addition to news and sports, hilarious parody, razor-shaip ad-libs, skewered socdd commentary, advice, and a variety of guest performers, musicians, and comedians. Most of all, people can eavesdrop The "Bob & Tom Show" can be heard locally on Ottawa/Flndlay radio station WQTL, 106-3 FM. It airs from 6 aan. to 10 sun. on the principal stars of the show and follow what Griswold terms "the soap opera of our lives." There is Griswold, the iconoclast with an opinion on eveiythings Bob Kevoian, the unflappable bon vivant ever at the ready with a timely quip; sports aimouncer Chick McGee, the neurotic but lovable man-child; and news producer Kristi Lee, the show's female conscience (the show's other female, TV meteorologist Pat Car-lini, is a semi-regular). A^ether discussing Griswold's latest outing with his fbur children, Kristi Lee's love life, or McGee's comically tragic adolescence, the well never seems to run dry. "There's a family atmosphere to the show as well as the soap opera aspect," explains Griswold. "People know about your livfes. They Imow the way we interact on the air. Thgr like some of us and th^r don't like some of us. We hope they stick around long enou^ to see what the next phase of the soap opera is." By Griswold's own account, neither he nor Kevoian would have dreamed such success was possible when they first met in Petoskey, Mich., in 1980^ , Kevoian was ju^ gettingMarted in the radio busing after slogging around the couhtry^as a touring musician. Paging Kevdto in a bar as someone witii Griswold asked to coriie byjiteTOito's office to look throu^l sotfe of the industry trade mag^mes for work. Two days later; GriswoldwashiredatKevoian's station as programdirector. The two began gue^ingon eadi otii^s shows, much to the consteniation of the station's general manager. "We were working on a small AM statioit ic^jiQ nutter how good you were,yi^;6r]e ^ going to h^ vtM youw^(Mig'';ecal]sGrisw<^ pair itkH^ed on to a larger 100,000-watt ^ station in the same r^on, and according to Griswold, "that's when people actually got to hear us." While prepackaged jokes and caimed zsrty bits bought fix)m com-ecly syndication services are the norm in ra^Oj Griswold claims that he and Kevoian were n^r forced by their management to use anything other than their own inateriflL In fed^ their material was good enou^ to steal, as evidenced when the duo nearly came to l^al blows with a cometfy service t^ had imwittiti^y filch^ one of their gags. Griswold once recalled watching with amazement as a New York City jock appeared on a national television show and claimed credit for a skit about disgraced preacher Jim Bakker that had abready ap^ peared on a Bob & Tom CD. Ultimate^, it was this rash of artistic thievery that spurred the two to take the Bob & Tom show national. "It was the impetus for us to say, 'Hqr, if we're getting stolen by all these people, why don't we ptit the show out there and let evetybo(fy get it fit>m the original source and see if it work,'" says Griswold. One of the show's most brilliant re-curringpieces features Chick McGee in the role of Mr. Obvious, a combination Mr. Rogers/Bob Vila who offers handyman advice to the most idiotic of callers. Producer/writer Dean Metcalf usually plays the doltish listener who can't quite grasp Mr. Obvious' admonishments that the building contractor he's hired and has just cau^t naked on top of his wife is not using her to measure the hei^t of his doorway. Forlheir song satires, Griswold and staff work with Bob & Tom musical director Steve Allee at a nearl^r recording studio. Lampoons of pop culture icons like Ma^ & Le^ and a notorious doo-wop number about love behind bars remain popular fixtures on the show. (In ad(£-tion to writing and performing witti the Bob & Tom band, Griswold also shares co-production credits with AUee on comedy albums by such Bob & Tom guests as Heywood Banks, Tim Wilson, John Fbx, Jimmy Dore and Todd Yohn.) Then there is the p^ of the program that is invented literallyr on the spot. When staffers Metcalf Ricky Rydell, Steve SalgeandMaricPatrick telephone in as Larry King, Bob Dole, Tom Blowchow, Bill Clinton, George Bush, The Pope, Ted Kermed^, Howard (}osell or as any other number of bizarre characters, much of what they do is ad-libbed or written white the ^ow is in progress. Griswold prefers it that w£^. "We don't meet together before the show to talk about what we're going to do because we want that on-air spontaneity," he says, creditingabt of his pre-show prqiar^on with watching CNN and getting a good night's sle^. With so much of the show's content anchored (detractors mi^t say "mired") in raunchyjokes and sexual irmuendo, Griswold and crew have drawn their &ir share of controvert over the years. Decency crusader , John Price once condemned the show as unfit for children. An attor-nQT filed what Griswold terms "lit-er^y a four-foot stack of documents with the FCC, claiming that we were violating FCC r^ulations more than one time per minute." The ensuing l^ial drama gave the Bob & Tom show front-page publicity in Indiaiup)lis and rented in thar station be^ fined "for four pieces out of the thousands of things t^ guy protested. Ironically, oni^ one of tile pieces was ours." D^ite such problems, the pc^-lariiy of the Bob & Tom show continues to confoimd and contradict the moral zealots. Brisdc sales of all 24 Bob & Torn CDs, featuring skits and songs taken from the show, have raised over $4.5 million thal^ iiie duo intunihavedoriatedtoloiaddiiBities. The show has sumv^ m its present form for 16 years now; but £hm • have been blips alongjlie w^. Chick McGee left the show briery in 1994 for a six-month solo stint at a station in San Di^, confessing later upon his return that he had to try maldng it on his own. Kristi Lee has also left and come back. Thou^ on the air Griswold jok-in^y refers to their sabbaticals as "Qiideand Kristi tryingtofind themselves," he admits that such dianges are obviousb^ unsettling but surviv-able. "It's not a show like Saturday Ni^t Live vrfiere you can kjse evay-body but still k€«p the name and « move on," to says, "^^'ve done the show with other people for {oeOybng periods of time acbially. ...

Cyclobenzaprine crosses the blood/brain barrier. Therefore it can cause side effects that may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be awake and alert. Avoid drinking alcohol, which can increase some of the side effects of cyclobenzaprine. Cold or allergy medicine, narcotic pain medicine, sleeping pills, and medicine for seizures, depression or anxiety can add to sleepiness caused by cyclobenzaprine.
