Cowboy Toffee Company's toffees are the kind your grandma would have made, if that's the kind of thing she did. Fortunately for me, that's exactly the kind of thing my grandma did, although mostly at Christmas time. Those memories were brought back by the taste of The Mustang, a classic toffee from Cowboy Toffee that's made from butter, sugar, chocolate and almonds, in that order.
The company also offers its toffee-take on s'mores with a toffee called So Much S'mores, which is made from butter, sugar, milk chocolate and, you guessed it, marshmallows and graham crackers. The So Much S'mores toffee offers is gooey and wonderful, just like campfire s'mores, but it has the advantage of being much neater to eat. With this candy around, serving s'mores to your family doesn't have to come with the warning to tie the long hair back first, since the traditional version isn't so much something you eat as something you wear.
The third variety tasted today by the staff of Gourmet News is called Miss Bonnie, a choice for sophisticated tastes that's flavored with the minty floral taste of lavender buds and white chocolate.
Thanks for sending along the samples, Cowboy Toffee Company. They were so good that we (mostly) don't even want to take issue with your claim that Oakdale, Calif., where you make these treats, is the "Cowboy Capital of the World." But that's because our Gourmet News editorial office is located in Tucson, Ariz., where we have our own western traditions to keep alive, and we certainly don't begrudge you a share of our wonderful western America heritage, especially if the result is these wonderful confections.
Karoun Dairies is promising that the new Blue Isle's Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads will provide a healthy and delicious choice for consumers who love their cream cheese but would prefer a lower-fat and lower-calorie option. America has an obsession with cream cheese. From countless recipes shared on Pinterest to the popular Twitter #foodporn hashtag commonly linked to #creamcheese, there is no doubt that Americans love their schmear. Grocery sales reflect these sentiments. A 2009-2011 Mintel study of US retail sales shows that cream cheese spread is the fastest-growing segment with 8.5 percent growth.
However, America's growing waistline has driven consumers to choose healthier alternatives to comfort food favorites, which has something to do with why The Wall Street Journal coined "permissible indulgence" as the big food industry buzzword for 2014. Popular examples of this phenomenon include gluten-free, Greek yogurt, kale chips, and quinoa cookies.
Keeping up with the demand and offering a healthy solution for cream cheese lovers with the added benefit of probiotics, Blue Isle's Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads is the latest innovation to hit the dairy aisle this summer. Samples will be available at booth #566 during the Summer Fancy Food Show in New York City.
"We use hand-crafted traditional methods of blending, aging, and fermenting all of our probiotic rich yogurt spreads," states Rostom Baghdassarian, COO for Karoun Dairies. "This year, we are delighted to introduce Blue Isle Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads, as we've seen a major demand for healthier, Mediterranean-style spreads. Blue Isle is a fresh, tasty, and health conscious alternative to traditional cream cheeses."
Blue Isle's Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads offer nutritional balance and taste. Today's cream cheese category is limited in both selection and brands and the goal of Blue Isle's Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads is to raise the bar in the retail cream cheese category with superior flavors, functionality and nutrition.
Blue Isle Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads are made from the healthy goodness of yogurt, including live cultures, probiotics, and calcium but with no added sugar. With only 60 calories and 6g of fat per 2 tbsp serving, Blue Isle has nearly 40 percent fewer calories and total fat than the leading cream cheese. All natural and kosher have both been reported as important factors in consumers' purchase choices, and Blue Isle is both natural and OU Kosher certified.
While the health benefits of Blue Isle are clear, the delicious flavor and mouth-watering texture are the real factors for this category innovation. Blue Isle is the over-achieving cousin to traditional cream cheese. Creamy, rich, and comforting, Blue Isle is a product that needs to be experienced. The spreads can be used as an alternative to cream cheese spread, a dip, in cooking, or as an exotic "good for you" treat.
Blue Isle is available in the following flavors:
Blue Isle will be available soon in the following US stores: Harmon's, Mollie Stone's, Central Market, Fiesta Mart, The Fresh Market, New Seasons, H-E-B, Lucky, Fred Meyer, QFC, at natural food stores and better supermarkets nationwide. Suggested retail price is $3.29 for an 8-ounce tub.
Blue Isle is distributed by Karoun Dairies, Inc., a second-generation family business with multiple awards for excellence in the cheese and dairy industry. Accolades include World Cheese Awards, World Championship Cheese medals, U.S. Championships, American Cheese Society medals, and California State Fair awards to name a few. Karoun produces some of California's finest specialty cheeses; using century-old and handmade methods. All 130+ SKUs are made from ultra-premium ingredients, including premium milk from cows that are free of artificial hormones, BGH/rBST, and are Real California Milk certified.
Visit booth #566 at the Summer Fancy Food Show June 29 -July 1 at the Jacob Javits Center, where Karoun Dairies will showcase many delectable cheeses and yogurts as well as offer samples of Blue Isle's brand new smooth and creamy Mediterranean Yogurt Spreads.

Building on last month's announcement of a $28 million dollar investment in its Bayfront facility, to increase manufacturing capacity for its slow-cured salame, Columbus Foods has expanded its deli meat production capabilities through a new partnership with industry leader Harris Ranch. Family-owned and located in the heart of California's San Joaquin Valley, Harris Ranch has been producing superior meats for more than 50 years. To ensure consistency and quality during the transition, the two manufacturers spent more than a year planning, testing and duplicating Columbus' time-tested consumer favorite deli meat recipes within this new modern facility.
"Like Columbus, Harris Ranch is dedicated to producing the highest quality products with the utmost dedication to food safety," said David Wood, Chairman and CEO of Harris Ranch Beef Company. "This is a good fit for both of our companies – and the synergies between Harris Ranch and Columbus will ensure a seamless production transition."
Significant investment between both companies of more than $10 million dollars was made to ensure the implementation of a state of the art deli meat processing facility to support this venture. The current layout was built to produce an initial volume production of 25 million pounds of deli meat cooking and processing, but can be expanded to another 50 million pounds of capacity with minimal disruption to operations.
"Columbus' deli cooking facility in South San Francisco is landlocked and necessitated we find a solution to provide for capacity expansion on our branded deli meat growth," said Timothy Fallon, CEO and President at Columbus Foods. "By partnering with Harris Ranch we're well-positioned to continue to provide the quality and taste that consumers and our retail customers expect from Columbus and meet continued growth in the coming years."

In fact, this is the first time different caviar farms from around the world are going to be housed in the same booth. We'll have a caviar bar with sampling throughout the day for visitors."

Frontier Soups™ is introducing Little Schoolhouse Alphabet Soup Mix to make mealtime fun and healthy for an upcoming generation of soup lovers. The new mix is being introduced at the 2014 Summer Fancy Food Show, and samples of the prepared soup will be available at booth #4120.
The Alphabet Soup Mix is in Frontier Soups' Homemade-In-Minutes™ line of quicker-cooking soups and contains multi-colored, organic letter- and number-shaped pasta, said Trisha Anderson, company Founder. The soup is filled with kid-pleasing vegetables—peas, corn and carrots—and is lightly seasoned to appeal to young palates, although its comforting childhood flavors satisfy adult appetites as well, Anderson said. Home cooks add fresh or prepared chicken to the soup, which is ready in 30 minutes on the stovetop.
The new mix also has shelf appeal in clear cellophane packaging that allow consumers to see the multi-colored organic pasta layered with the vibrant green, yellow and orange of the freeze-dried peas, corn and carrots, she said. The soup will be available for order as part of Frontier Soups' Summer Fancy Food Show specials.
"We've been wanting to create an alphabet soup for some time now and fell in love with the colorful letter and number pasta, which has even greater appeal since more and more parents want to choose organic ingredients for their kids," Anderson said. "With today's busy family lifestyles, our goal also was to create a soup that would satisfy adults craving comfort food flavors because who wants to cook a separate meal for the kids?"
Little Schoolhouse Alphabet Soup Mix is available in 4-ounce packages with a suggested retail price of $5.95-$6.49. Frontier Soups 35 varieties are all natural with no added salt, preservatives or MSG. More information is available at www.FrontierSoups.com or by calling 1-800-300-7687.

"We are conscientious of current healthy lifestyles and want to provide the consumer what they desire," said Jim Gordon, President & CEO of Robert Rothschild Farm.

This year celebrates Robert Rothschild Farm's 30th anniversary of producing specialty foods. "Creating organic products shows our commitment, not only to high-quality, flavorful products but taking our company to the next level," said Gordon.
"Organic foods are a growing market in which Robert Rothschild Farm is well positioned to produce and provide these essential products," said Gordon.

Robert Rothschild Farm is continually recognized as one of the top gourmet food manufacturers in the United States and has been honored with numerous awards for its branded product line, but the company also produces gourmet products under many private labels.

Robert Rothschild Farm will initially introduce a new line of organic products at the upcoming Summer Fancy Food Show, June 29 – July 1, 2014. This new line of organic products will launch the beginning of the Robert Rothschild Farm movement to convert the majority of its current product offering to be organic certified.

I want to know if I have to file EOIR-42B so that Immigration Judge, who ordered me removed, will know that my VAWA I360 was approved and automatically cancel my order of removal.
There is no automatic cancellation of your deportation order, you have to apply to have your case re-opened first.
it is advisable to contact an immigration lawyer experienced in deportation to do this as there is a numerical limitation to Motions to Reopen and you have to make the best of the one you have.
It would be unwise to do-it-yourself in this case.
Is this of any importance to you?

If the above image looks familiar to you that's because it's from the video shared here last year entitled "In Search of Grande". There's a great right up on this adventure in the fresh new issue of This is Fly #49. In addition to all the regular features (love the soundtracks) there are some great articles on sculpin, tarpon, fishing in Chile, and more (including an interview with Justin Fuller of Good Apples designs).
I revel in the idea that fly fishing is an escapist sport, where people and problems can be left behind just by venturing off on a slightly less obvious path. However, the reality is that some problems are so severe that they can actually affect what you find at the end of the nondescript trail.
Thankfully there are a lot of people out there that care, and "Co2ld Waters" is a call to action to motivate those folks to make their voice heard before it doesn't matter. Check out the video and head over to http://co2ldwaters.org for more information.

Howler Bros. is on a roll lately with all kinds of sweet products being released almost bi-weekly. Within 10 minutes of receiving an email announcing the Paradise Gaucho i had ordered mine (receiving 8-10 drooling comments on my first day wearing it) and just days later was informed that these sweet ass Howler Camp Mugs were also available (and quickly jumping to the top of my x-mas list).
If you want your best shot at grabbing some of this awesome gear be sure to sign up for their email lists (at the bottom of their website) because a lot of this stuff is going quick, and for good reason, it's unique and it rocks. Howler's killing it, and as fellow Austin, TX fly-fishers we couldn't be more proud.

There are many definitions for the word "shooting", but after a day recently spent stocking the Guadalupe river with fellow GRTU members (from Gudalupe River Trout Unlimited) these are the three definitions that seemed to encapsulate the days events as a whole.
*Shooting: definition
- To move or pass suddenly or swiftly spurt
- To send forth (words, ideas, etc.) rapidly
- To put forth buds or shoots, as a plant; germinate.
The first two were obvious from the second we shot the trout into the water, but it was number three that took a while to sink in…
Meeting early at Rio Raft, i was shocked to pull in and see a plethora of vehicles with occupants sitting in idling cars, wisely staving off the low 30 degree temperature as long as possible, a sensible solution to a surprising condition (the cold). Slipping into my down jacket, i grabbed my coffee and gravitated towards a group of recognizable faces, immediately falling into conversation about each of our recent conquests and adventures.
When the weathered but heated bus arrived we quickly fell into a loosely organized line that filed on with remarkable speed, doubtlessly because of the 80 degree heat that was emanating, invitingly from the buses spartan interior.
Driving off en masse to our first stocking, a new spot recently acquired, there was an eagerness and excitement buzzing around the orange / yellow transport as though we were all school children headed off on a surprise field trip, dodging class, homework and responsibility for the day, a feeling that only mildly faded as the hours ticked away.
Throwing down the buckets, they were quickly filled with one part water and two-part trout, before quickly being nabbed by eager hands on either side and taken forward, staggering, until being handed off to the conga line that would shimmy them into the water. You could almost see the confusion in the trouts bodily actions for the first minute or two before they suddenly launched forward trying to inhale anything floating their way (leaf, cypress needles, foam). (Note: I cringe to confess that all i could think was "Dry flies, right now would be so uncouth, but so much fun.")
While most spots required the bucket brigade, there were the handful of spots that presented all volunteers aboard with the two showstoppers of:
1) Fish being shot down a long plastic sleeve, much like a water slide, into the clear void of the water.
2) Being shot directly off the side of a bridge into one of the deeper pools, like some shocked and befuddled Olympic diver.
If you've never been and have been debating to for years, go and help if for no other reason than to witness these two sites.
While the new spots, the launched fish, and the school bus atmosphere were all fun in their own special way, for me it was seeing so many young folks, coming out for the first time that really inspired me. There is a die-hard crew that i deeply respect that has obviously kept this amazing program ticking for years, but even at 43 i've often felt like a child among wise and learned adults. This time however there were a handful of youngsters probably close to half my age that were the first in the water and obviously eager to take part in something so wonderfully new to them.
I'm sure i wasn't the only to notice them, and doubtlessly i wasn't the only one to think that this new group encapsulated "Shooting" definition number three:
To put forth buds or shoots, as a plant; germinate (def: germinate – to develop)
As only one of many GRTU members i can only speak for myself, but i imagine that others out there agree, it was refreshing to see a new group of caretakers taking part in something that means so much to not just them, but to all of us. They are the stewards of the future, not just of the water and the fish, but also the continuing success of this amazing program that is Guadalupe River Trout Unlimited, and i for one hope their enthusiasm is not only sustained, but also contagious.
P.S. If you live in central Texas and haven't signed up yet, i highly recommend signing up with this amazing group to help promote fishing education, camaraderie, and also give you something to fish for during the onslaught of cool days that lie ahead.
P.P.S. This post has been approved by Jimbo if you are a concerned GRTU member.
What's that? You like big fish AND beautiful backgrounds? Then start your work week right with this great video from Hooké.
Today Texas Parks and Wildlife posted the schedule for the upcoming 2014 season and it's fair to say that we're chomping at the bit to hit a few select spots we enjoy haunting (especially Camp Mabry which one of can hit up on his lunch break.) While we'd prefer a stocking program of more exciting native fish like the gar or Guadalupe bass, we're more than happy to while away the cold days, eyes glued to our strike indicators watching for the tiniest ticks, we'll just have to remember to bring the port to stay warm.
Maybe you're tired of hitting the water only to find that your favorite fly rusted when you absentmindedly pierced it back into the foam months ago on your last fishing excursion? Maybe you're just tired of throwing your wet flies on your dash board with the intent of them drying only to watch them plunge into your ventilation duct at the first right hand turn?
If this sounds like you, here are four simple steps to create an ultra low cost fly drying container. All you'll need are:
- a drill
- a fly box container from your favorite local fly shop
- a small strip of velcro
- a pair of scissors
1) If you EVER buy flies from your local fly shop you probably have more fly containers lying around than you know what to do with. Grab one and a drill and go to town drilling some ventilations in one.
2) Pick up a small inexpensive piece of velcro from almost any craft, grocery or convenience store for chump change and cut off a 1-2 inch piece depending on your container.
3) Grab whatever piece (male or female) you want to use depending on your needs and through the magic of adhesive glues adhere it to the bottom of your new dry box.
4) Now just put the other piece of velcro on your car's dashboard, go fish, stow the flies in your container as you use them, and adhere it to the dashboard when you're done and let your flies dry without loosing them to the nooks and crannies of your car.
NOTE: Many vests and packs have velcro on them, so be sure match up your proper velcro strip (male or female) to them if you'd like to also use this ventilated box on them as well (works super well on the new Patagonia Vest Front Sling pack i've been trying out.)

Bride on a Budget: Giving Thanks
In the rush of wedding planning, a bride pauses to appreciate her future husbandHappy Thanksgiving!
With Thanksgiving just a couple days away, I've taken a few moments to reflect on all that I should be thankful for. I'm truly blessed to have wonderful family and friends who have been there for me through a lot, especially as I prepare for this huge life moment: my wedding. I thank them for supporting me as I marry my best friend. And I'm so thankful to have Matt as part of my life. In particular, I'm thankful that Matt . . .
• never finishes all of the milk because he knows I need a little in the morning for my coffee,
• listens to me, even when I know I don't make any sense,
• does the laundry,
• supports me 100 percent, even if I'm making a wrong decision,
• never says anything when I come home from DSW with four boxes of shoes—he knows I just got a great deal,
• is so genuine—I love that he's always true to himself,
• disagrees with me when I say I'll need Botox,
• cleans the toilet and the tub,
• loves me unconditionally, despite the silly and stupid things I do,
• pays the Comcast bill because he knows I really hate Comcast,
• is so smart (He's totally kicking butt in law school.),
• tells me I'm beautiful, even when I have zit cream on my face,
• wants to marry me. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
With that, I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Pics Of Christopher Dorner's Dead Burned Body Up For Sale To Highest Bidder
According to TMZ reports:
Christopher Dorner's badly scorched, partially dismembered body was photographed after his death … and TMZ has learned the pics are now being shopped to the media.
TMZ has seen the photos (the sellers showed up to our doorstep) — and the shots are extremely gruesome.
The top of Dorner's head is gone … presumably the result of the self-inflicted gunshot wound that ended his life after the gun battle at a remote cabin in Big Bear, CA last week.
The body is missing several limbs … including an arm and parts of a leg … and his midsection is charred from the fire that consumed the cabin during the Feb. 12 shoot-out.
Despite the intense blaze, several body parts remained intact … including his eyeballs, chest area and man parts.
In fact, Dorner's upper teeth were barely damaged … which helped authorities ID the body.
What do you think about folks that sell pics of dead people? Should even the most infamous criminals (i.e. Bin Laden) be allowed to R.I.P. without having pics of their mutilated bodies flashed on newspapers and TV screens??

The Talented Mr. Roto: Do your bidding
Yes, I am controversial. Yes, not everyone agrees with some of the things I say. And yes, I take stances that get some folks angry.
But I don't care.
I am anti-cancer and I stand by that. I know there are some folks who don't have a strong opinion on it or even others who might be in favor of cancer. But not me.
Think it's terrible, horrific and needs to be defeated ASAP. There. I said it.
It's why I agreed to be part of the fourth annual Don't Give Up ESPYS V Foundation Auction. The auction supports the V Foundation (www.jimmyv.org), which awards cancer research grants nationwide for all types of cancer.
|Always looking for that extra piece of fantasy insight? We've got you covered. ESPN Fantasy experts Matthew Berry and Nate Ravitz provide you with all the fantasy strategy you'll need:
Listen to the Fantasy Focus Podcast
See, when people say I am totally egocentric, there's a reason. It's because I am. And fantasy sports, well, we fly a little under the radar here, right? It's not that ESPN doesn't take it seriously. They do. But compared to "SportsCenter" or "Monday Night Football" or "Mike and Mike in the Morning" or Bill Simmons or many other shows and talent we have here ... are we really gonna get big money?
So I'm worried. I want us to do our part. I don't want the muckity-mucks here to see big-money bids for all these other cool experiences and then nothing for the Fantasy Focus experience. "I guess people who play fantasy are in favor of cancer" is the kind of phrase I really don't want to hear.
There are two things you can bid on. First, on July 16, at 6 p.m. ET on ESPN Radio and ESPNRadio.com, you have one hour to bid on the Fantasy Focus experience. The winning bidder and a guest will come to Bristol, join me and Nate Ravitz on the Fantasy Focus podcast, get a tour of the ESPN campus, see me do a bunch of TV stuff, and have lunch with me, Nate and PodVader. Plus, you'll earn a spot in either the Man's League for football this year or for baseball next season.
Second, through the good folks at 710 ESPN Radio in Los Angeles, you can bid online here for me to be your personal fantasy football draft buddy. The winner will get a strategy session with me on the phone before your draft. Then I'll also be available as a "phone a friend" during the draft itself.
But hanging with my old "Fantasy Insider" show co-host Howie Schwab? We can take him, right? GameDay Basketball and experiences around Michigan State and the Boston Red Sox? That's possible. NASCAR and ESPN the Hat? We gotta be able to beat a hat, right? Even a crazy expensive hat signed by a bunch of famous people? It's still ... a hat. Hanging out with me and Nate and being a fantasy expert for a day with us has got to be worth more than ... a hat.
As you decide what you can bid to help us beat cancer (and there's TONS of stuff to bid on), you should also decide who to bid on for your fantasy team.
Here are some players who have recently seen an increase in value and may be available in your league. Ownership percentages in ESPN leagues is shown in parentheses.
Scott Hairston, OF, Padres (8 percent): Wanna talk about someone who is on fire? Look no further than Hairston. Over his past 10 games, Hairston has five home runs and nine RBIs, plus he's hitting .500 over that time frame and he's playing every day. While the average won't stay that high (his strikeout-to-walk ratio is not so good), the power is real.
Juan Rivera, OF, Angels (1 percent): He's always had power (23 home runs for the Angels in less than 500 at-bats in 2006) and now he's got playing time, starting for Gary Matthews Jr. He has three home runs and seven RBIs and is hitting .400 in five games so far this month.
Hiroki Kuroda, P, Dodgers (31 percent): He's been terrific lately, with a 2.98 ERA over his past nine starts. He doesn't strike out as many batters as you'd like (36 in 57 innings), but he does have 20 K's in his past 27 innings, so it's getting better. Don't count on him for wins, but he'll get you a decent amount of quality innings.
Dave Bush, P, Brewers (7 percent): Don't look now, but Bush is actually useful these days. In fact, by a large margin. Over his past five starts, he is 3-1 with a 1.75 ERA. He also has 28 strikeouts and just four walks in 36 innings. A 3.32 ERA over his past 10 starts is also impressive. The Brewers are on an upswing with the acquisition of CC Sabathia, and you have to figure Bush is finally making good on the reasons why experts have been saying he was a sleeper for the past 7,000 years.
Other Pitchers:
I could spend all day talking about pitchers, but quickly, here are some other guys worth noting:
Clay Buchholz, P, Red Sox (50 percent): He's coming back Friday night after pitching well in the minors (2.47 ERA, 1.21 WHIP in nine games) and now gets the Red Sox offense behind him.
R.A. Dickey, P, Mariners (1 percent): It's always dangerous with a knuckleballer, and he won't get much run support, but very quietly Dickey has a 1.91 ERA over his past five starts.
Octavio Dotel, P, White Sox (21 percent): He looks to be the closer while Bobby Jenks is on the DL. Jenks should be coming back soon, but if you are scrounging for every last save, Dotel might get one or two between now and then.
Manuel Corpas, P, Rockies (18 percent): He's been brutal this year, but he's mentioned because the Rockies are most likely trading Brian Fuentes, which means Corpas likely will get the closer job back. Frankly, the Rockies should give it to Taylor Buchholz, who has pitched much better this year, but my guess is they won't.
Paul Maholm, P, Pirates (1 percent): He's 3-0 with a 2.84 ERA over his past seven starts. He has no strikeouts to speak of, and he did allow 60-year-old Billy Crystal to get wood on the ball in spring training. But the Pirates' offense is better than you think, and he did ultimately strike out Crystal. He's also terrific at home, going 5-1 with a 3.33 ERA in 10 starts at PNC Park this season.
Also, if you need a middle reliever, check out the Royals' Ron Mahay, who is now 5-0 this year with a 1.88 ERA and 1.17 WHIP.
Here are some guys who have seen an increase in value recently and may be available in shallow leagues or leagues where you play with idiots.
Paul Konerko, 1B, White Sox (56 percent): Back from injury, he has averaged 14 home runs and 44 RBIs after the All-Star break the past two years.
Kazuo Matsui, 2B, Astros (46 percent): He's also back from injury, and folks are forgetting he has 15 steals this year in just 58 games.
Mark Ellis, 2B, A's (38 percent): Five home runs, 18 RBIs and seven steals since June 1. He's not for the folks who are in a tenuous batting average race, but he offers a little bit of pop and (surprisingly) speed for your middle infield spot.
Barry Bonds, OF, TBD (3 percent): How lucky do you feel? I don't think he's coming back. But I've been wrong before. And if you have a roster spot, what the hey.
Here are a couple of guys who should not be picked up, except in very deep leagues, but who you should keep an eye on.
John Parrish, P, Blue Jays (1 percent): Well, he's looked good in his first two starts, that's for sure. He has a 2.77 ERA and a win in his first 13 innings, while striking out seven and walking four. I'm not crazy about the strikeout-to-walk rate, so he is more of a wait-and-see guy, but he hasn't given up a home run.
Mark Teahen, 1B, Royals (1 percent): Hitting better recently than you might think, he has seven home runs since June 1. While the RBIs (16) and batting average (.248) during that time span are low, Teahen is showing signs of life.
Denard Span, OF, Twins (1 percent): He's hitting .467 over his past 10 games with eight runs scored, five RBIs and two steals, and he's playing every day.
By the way, I am out of space and I have mentioned them in previous columns, but if you haven't already, check out Wes Bankston, Fernando Tatis, Ben Francisco (only 8 percent ownership!). Plus, I like Matt Murton's chances with a fresh start in Oakland.

IEEE Xplore subscriptions
On the in Internet today, there are numerous web-sites offering places to store and share images (photos, drawings, cliparts, etc.). Online Social Networks (OSN) and Online Photo Services (OPS) usually offer this type of service making it possible to upload and manage the images they publish. Users can publish their own images as well as add descriptions and tags. By adjusting the personal privacy settings, the images become visible only to authorized users, with it then being possible to add any comments. Generally, OSN/OPS manipulate the published images by resizing, upgrading metadata, compressing, embedding watermarking, and making it difficult to use well-known steganographic methodologies on them. In this paper two new steganographic schemes that mainly take advantage of the published images and survive the OSN/OPS processing before their publication, are proposed and analyzed. Finally, a notification system which uses tags to manage the sent/received information on the secret channel is proposed. This allows for the deletion of the received information as well as a bandwidth increase of the secret channel.

Founded in 1989 by Kai Hansen in Hamburg, Germany after leaving Helloween, Gamma Ray borrowed straight from the Helloween classics, and continued to pioneer Hansen's style of power metal.
After four years with Helloween, Kai Hansen decided to leave the band at the height of their career. He then went on to do some studio work with Blind Guardian.
Kai and his friend Ralf Scheepers from Tyran' Pace decided to start a project. They recruited bassist Uwe Wessel and drummer Mathias Burchard. The resulting sound was very close to Helloween's power metal style.
The first album Heading For Tomorrow was released in 1990. Two lineup changes resulted in Uli Kusch (who would later join Helloween) becoming the bands second drummer and Dirk Schlachter becoming a new guitarist. The new lineup released the Heaven Can Wait EP.
In 1991 the band released Sigh No More, which resulted in a 50 date world tour.
In 1993 Uli Kusch left the band and was replaced with Thomas Nack and Jan Rubach who replaced Uwe Wessel as the new bassist. The resulting cd was Insanity and Genius. Later that year, along with Rage, Helicon and Conception the band played on a tour called "Melodic Metal Strikes Back". This resulted in a double CD release and video called Power of Metal. They also released Lust For Live which did not feature the other bands.

Jackson Brewery information
This site really was a brewery once but, despite its proximity to boozy Bourbon St, the company failed, and the old brick structure was converted into a shopping mall. Jax has dozens of shops and eateries, most of them singing siren songs to unwary tourists. Proceed with caution or your next credit card statement will include charges for such items as Cajun golf clothing (?!), novelty ties, old-time photographic portraits and the like. However, if you're looking for a crawfish T-shirt for your cool niece or a new pair of sunglasses, or are just in need of a bathroom break, come on by. There's an ATM on the sidewalk.

text: Basic Answers On Common-Sense Methods Of Retractable Awnings Retractable awnings are very useful and attractive for any type of home. It is being used to give cover or shade to the home windows so that the heat of the sun and waters of the rain will not have any way of entry. This is also very good to see homes with awnings as it adds style and sophistication to the home particularly to the windows. Many home owners have seen the value of these awnings to their homes. With it, homes will have the right temperature as it blocks off the heat coming from the sun. Perhaps take a look at Sneak A Peek Here for logical guidelines.A word of caution though - always choose wisely if you are going in for a motorized awning.

U.S. could learn a lot from Norwegian health care system
To The Daily Sun,
I have been online chatting with my Norwegian relatives (in Norwegian) about their government and its highly successful health care system. Before I enumerate the numerous differences in the two systems, we need to compare the two countries and their comparative abilities to support such an endeavor. A good comprehensive measure would be the Legatum Prosperity Index (check it out online), which measures such things as national wealth and economy, entrepreneurship and opportunity, governance, health, safety and security, personal freedom and social capital. Each category has a number of criteria to meet and all point to a measure of quality of life and well being within a country. Norway is ranked #1 in the world, the U.S. #11. Norway has held steady at #1 for the last five years.
Now for a comparison of fiscal management. Checking the U.S. debt clock website (it contains an amazing display of running data), the U.S. has a national debt of $17.1 trillion. That comes to over $54,000 for every man, woman and child among our population of 317 million people. Norway has a SURPLUS of over 800 billion U.S. dollars, which is about $160,000 for each of their five million people. With a gross domestic product of about $15.7 trillion, our national DEBT is 1.1 times GDP. Norway's GDP is about $500 billion so their SURPLUS is about 1.6 times GDP. To get a grip on the enormity of this, consider that if our nation had a national surplus of 1.6 times GDP, that SURPLUS would be 25.1 trillion dollars. Norway has displayed a long history of fiscal responsibility and has maintained an average yearly surplus of about 13.5 percent over expenditures for the last dozen years. The surplus was not built overnight. Norway wisely did not join the European Union or else this little country would have been bled dry propping up the several fiscally irresponsible and much larger EU nations. Norway can afford full uniform (meaning it is the same for each and every person) healthcare to ALL of their people. Their government has managed their wealth in an entirely different way than our government has managed ours.
Now for the comparison of health care plans. Norway has a single pay system with the government reimbursing the health providers DIRECTLY. The U.S. system must utilize the trillion dollar plus insurance industry as an intermediary that stands between the government bureaucracy and the health care providers. This intermediary is a big fat cat that must be fed. All these insurance companies add another massive bureaucracy and expense that the Norwegian system does not have. All the many different insurance companies involved must pay for their operations, their management, their employees and show a profit for themselves and their stockholders. If they are not profitable, our system provides for a subsidy at taxpayer expense. The whole scenario is a bonanza for the insurance industry. Participation is mandated (except for those politically granted exemptions) and federal subsidy is provided for those who can't pay.
The Norwegian system is uniform and nation-wide in its application and the U.S. system is a patchwork of an uncountable number of different and complicated non-uniform insurance policies, with fines for non-compliance. The Norwegian system covers everyone, the U.S. system does not.
Here are few other related facts you may consider important relating to the way our government and our nation functions. The Forbes Happiness Index, just out this past week, puts Norway #1 in the world, the U.S. #11. The United Nations Human Development Index has ranked Norway #1 for the last three years running. The U.S. trails but is presently a respectable #3. Norway's life expectancy is listed at 81.3 years and the US 78.7. The Democracy Index, compiled by The Economist Intelligence Unit (google it), ranks Norway at #1 in the world and the U.S. #21. The land of the free has suffered setbacks in our First Amendment rights of free expression and speech at the hands of executive actions and court rulings (legislation from the bench by politically appointed judges) that bypass the electorate and the will of the people. We have a two party system (in function, but not constitutionally mandated), which limits representation choices, and the parliamentary system has room for multiple parties and a better chance for diverse expression at the top. The Scandinavian countries are at the top of the democracy list. Also it is obvious that the functionality of our government at present is not what it was created to be and should be.
In summary, several things stand out. First, we are in such a financial mess that we are not in a position to afford the health care system we (our elected representatives) have voted in. Secondly, the system we have voted in is too expensive and inefficient due to the unnecessary addition of insurance companies and their bureaucracy. It is an unfair patchwork of non-uniform insurance policies that do not cover everyone equally and some not at all. The system is flawed.

After infiltration of our schools they set out to alter our history
To The Daily Sun,
In 1920, George Bernard Shaw commissioned a stained glass window in Surry, England. A Fabian coat of arms depicts socialism as a political wolf in sheep's clothing. Socialist pilgrims kneel in worship. The Fabian window shows two figures that resemble George Bernard Shaw and Sidney Webb wielding hammers over the globe of the planet; operating the bellows is E.R. Pease, who was the Secretary of the Fabian Society. These people have the tenacity to masquerade as reformers or liberals. Their claim of innovators is fraught with fraud. They are but reactionaries with hopes of turning society backwards with despots like Napoleon and feudal chiefs. Murder is not beyond them. Millions of deaths at their hands has attributed to their philosophy. Anything to achieve their goal. Bernard Shaw attests to that.
The Nazis, Fascist, the Argentine dictatorship under Peron and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republic under the Bolsheviks were socialist governments. The media never mentions that these tyrannies were socialist and their ideology has infiltrated our universities, schools, law courts, government, churches, unions and media. Their main objective is to set up a centralized socialist dictatorship. They are but wolves in sheep's clothing. The art of deception is their trade. Their views are easily understood in magazines such as Science and Society, The Socialist Quarterly, and the Partisan Review. The History of Trade Unions by Sidney and Beatrice Webb was acclaimed by Lenin as a great "textbook" for socialistic communism.
After their infiltration of our schools they set out altering our history. Thus their early target was to infiltrate the History departments in our colleges. Fabian socialism gained favor at Harvard. Keynes at Harvard became popular. History was perverted into "social sciences" and spread to American schools. They are masters at camouflaging their objectives. Often they refer to sociology as social sciences. These deal with "human grouping", which is easy to observe in most school settings where "group cooperation" overshadows the individual capability. Sociology is the old socialist writ.
The last science the socialists bastardized was the law. And most fundamental to capturing the government. Its start was at Harvard. Harold J. Laski, Morris Cohen and Felix frankfurter were three men who orchestrated the scheme. Roscoe Pound was maneuvered into Harvard Law School where he eventually became the Dean in 1912. Frankfurter states in his autobiography that he was an excellent "Trojan Horse". Under Pound, Harvard began to teach the "socializing of the law'. Harvard indoctrinated its students that "law is a social study". Referring to it as "social jurisprudence". These men later went on to teach future Supreme Court justices. Pound credits George Howard, E.A. Ross and A.W. Small with the inspiration of his theories.
The University of Chicago established the first chair of sociology in 1892. Albion W. Small, a Fabian socialist headed that department. Lester Ward who penned "Dynamic Sociology" worked with Small to put the socialist creed in colleges under the guise of "sociology". William Graham Summer taught the first "sociology" courses At Yale from 1876-1880. Their students then fanned out to teach at Columbia, University of Chicago, Yale, Harvard and Wisconsin.
In 1920 the A.C.L.U. (American Civil Liberties Union) was formed. Felix Frankfurter had much to do in its organizing. Morris Hillquit headed the American Socialist Party and joined the ACLU. Partisans from the Communist Party, such as Elizabeth G. Flynn and William Z. Foster of the Communist Party U.S.A., were allowed to join. Director Roger N. Baldwin wrote: "We want also to look patriotic in everything we do". Baldwin helped pioneer the technique of camouflaging socialism. When Felix Frankfurter was a member of the ACLU he drew up their platform that sought protection to those who advocated violent overthrow of our government. He wrote "the advocacy of murder, unaccompanied by any act, is within the legitimate scope of free speech", also within the text included "the right of persons to advocate the overthrow of government by force and violence." Frankfurter was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1939 by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Socialized law got a foot hold over constitutional law.
John Maynard Keynes book published in 1936, "The General Theory of Employment interest and Money", didn't take long to sweep through Harvard. Mrs. Joan Robinson was a well-known international Marxist and highly regarded by Keynes collaborated on the project. Socialist economist R.F. Kahn contributed his skills in writing the book. Mrs. Robinson stated that the differences between Marx and Keynes are only verbal. In the communist journal, "Science and Society", winter, 1947, p. 61, Mrs. Robinson said, "The time, therefore, seems ripe to bridge the verbal gulf. The only real difference between the Marxian's and the Fabians is one of degree and tactics". Felix Frankfurter and Walter Lippman a Fabian who called himself a progressive were key promoters of Keynes theories. They both were friends with FDR. Over 300 0f Frankfurters students worked in strategic government posts. Following his return from Russia in late 1946, Professor Laski stated that the English socialists and Russian socialists were "approaching the same objective by different roads". Harry Dexter White, a communist agent and other socialists worked to create what Keynes favored since the 1930s — The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. In 1941 Harvard professor Alvin Hansen and Adolph Berle supported Keynes creation of a new international financial instrument to finance their agenda.
Harvard produced Alger Hiss, who was a protege of Felix Frankfurter. Frankfurter was a close friend of Professor Laski. Frankfurter was a character witness for Hiss during his trials. Dean Acheson, another protege of Frankfurter and former Secretary of State pushed for diplomatic recognition of soviet Russia. Laski wrote, "To take vast powers and legislate under them by ordinance and decree". Lord Chief Justice of England, Lord Hewart wrote in his "The New Despotism" 1929, "A mass of evidence establishes the fact that there is in existence a persistent and well-contrived system, intending to produce, and in practice producing, a despotic power which at one and the same time places government departments beyond the sovereignty of Parliament and beyond the jurisdiction of the courts". Sound familiar?
This expansion of bureaucracy aided the communist who infiltrated FDR's administration. The New Deal was Fabian inspired and offered cover for communist agents who worked into the very center of the Roosevelt Administration. FDR took his slogan "The New Deal" from Stuart Chase, an American Fabian, who wrote "A New Deal" and stated, "Socialism can be enforced by firing squads if necessary."
Alger Hiss who clerked for Felix Frankfurter at the Supreme Court was a soviet agent and member of the Ware soviet spy cell. Many of Frankfurters proteges were members of the cell. John Abt a soviet courier entered the Department of Agriculture along with other soviet agents. He worked for the federal government from 1933 until 1937, then represented communist fronts. It was Abt who Lee Harvey Oswald asked to represent him. But he could not be found.
Like a jigsaw puzzle the pieces are many and spread out. They are difficult to put into place. By connecting the dots you will find the same names keep popping up. Study your professors and their professors. Learn their ideologies. Then you might glean the problem's facing this country. Have we seen enough "fundamental changes" in our country to awaken us from our slumber?

We will never forget how people of Lakes Region made us feel
To The Daily Sun,
To the citizens of Laconia and the Lakes Region:
Thank you for your warm embrace.
The poet Maya Angelo wrote:
"I've learned that people will forget what you said;
People will forget what you did;
But people will never forget how you made them feel."
We leave the city after 4+ years and we will never forget how you made us feel. You welcomed us to the Taylor Community, to your churches, civic organizations, into your homes and made us feel comfortable.
I believe that we helped make the Taylor Community a better place for people to live.

A difference of opinion does not mean that one party is just lying
To The Daily Sun,
Have readers noticed the ongoing trend in L.J. Sidens letters? In every letter lately he brings up the "birthers", birthers this, birthers that. Funny thing, Siden is the only one I can recall in two maybe three years who continues to bring up that question. Why? I suppose it's all he has left to try to deflect readers from the lies, failures, and incompetence of the Obama administration. But you see, Siden is a true believer who has hooked his ego and credibility to a shady politician and is now desperately trying to salvage something, looking for old stories, conspiracy theories — anything to take the heat off his hero. Well too late, Obama is on another campaign-like tour telling the faithful to "get out the word" about his ACA. Problem is the word is out, all over the place, even NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, NY Times, well everywhere. The word is the TRUTH, finally.
As for Obama's school records, they don't matter, except to highlight the inherent dishonesty of the man's character. I'm not calling for their release — don't care — but if he had a 3.7 gpa and all was up and up, he would have released them years ago like the braggart he is. Oh, that's my OPINION.
Another thing, what are all these "lies" I'm supposed to be telling that he keeps referring to? Can it be L.J. still, after having it explained to him many times, cannot separate the difference between a DIFFERENCE of OPINION from his own and thus has to label them "lies" like a truculent 10 year old? Yes, he and Maloof, two of a kind, true believers — any means justifies their ends.
Well good luck trying to put the cat back in the bag fellas because it's mad as you know what — and has it's claws out.

You're just going to love latest folly uncovered about Obamacare
To The Daily Sun,
Okay, first of all, I must correct my misuse of the term "modern day liberals" because there is absolutely, positively nothing liberal about the paternalistic, socialist policies being enforced by this current lawless administration. The correct description is "progressive". That would be the maddeningly coercive and oxymoronic term used to describe the "regressive" policies that have infected all areas of our life including the media, academia, entertainment industry and of course our government. Just draw a time line from the Woodrow Wilson administration to the magnificent wrecking ball that is the Barack Obama administration, minus the pause for the Reagan revolution.
Now on to the show and the American version of Kabuki theater starring the "dear leader" himself, Barack Obama. Notice his suave, stylized movements and smooth rhetoric as he just this week assured us that the "Affordable Care Act" is working and will continue to get better. Yes, he actually said that, with squared jaw and firm resolution.
Never mind all the sticker shock of increased premiums, co-pays and deductibles, except for the very poor and those with sizable subsidies. Never mind that there will not be enough young and healthy folks signing up to pay for the costs of insuring the aged and sick and all the millions of formerly uninsured. It's new math on statistical steroids ending in a death spiral. Never mind the looming doctor and nurse shortages which will severely hamper the quality of care. Never mind the exploding medicaid roles and the increasing number of physicians who will not accept medicaid. Never mind understanding this same scenario will soon impact the medicare roles. Never mind the recent revelation that when this medical insurance monstrosity was created, there was little thought given to security concerns. Thus, caveat emptor for the buyers and caviar for the security hackers and identity thieves.
Now on to the feature presentation, "the monetary exploding exchange payment system (MEEPS)". Yes indeed, the "Improvised Exploding Device" (IED) concealed within the "Obamacare website has been discovered and it is the MEEPS. It seems, who could make this up, that the 35 percent of the website that has yet to be developed, is a way for subscribers to actually pay their insurance company. You're just gonna love this my beloved and obedient taxpayer. There is no way as yet to actually "cut the check". So technically, zero folks have officially signed up. Crony capitalism has reached new heights in hypocrisy as President Obama attempts to hit the reset button, again. "Private sector velocity and effectiveness" is most important at the back end where the sale is completed and payment is rendered. Guess the "Signature Achievement Man" (SAM) didn't understand that when he said the website was now working with the same speed and efficiency as the private sector. Just let the sad irony of that government versus private sector comparison sink in for a moment. And then come January, February and March, close your eyes, cover your ears and jump into a deep foxhole before opening up any government/ insurance company mail packages.
You see, in it's infinite wisdom, the government has created an illusion that people can pay for their health insurance and just let the insurance companies and the government figure out how much we should have to pay and everything will be hunky dory. As Meagan Kelly just found on on the eve of December 4th, according to the Reuters news service, the following is the progressive, central planners wondrous plan of action: (1) the insurance companies will just go ahead and estimate what they think is a reasonable fee for service; (2) the feds will go ahead and cut them a big fat check; (3) and then at some point down the road, they supposedly will get around to figuring out what the actual amount should really be and adjust accordingly. When this IED explodes next year, the shrapnel covering the countryside will create severe pain and suffering.
Would the progressive bureaucrats of utopian fantasy land pay for a product in this delusional, rife with potential fraud and waste method? Of course not. But when they can just use our money, the skies the limit. Hey, but a small price to pay to create equality for the masses right? Never mind that a NY Times study found that between 2009 and 2011 income inequality grew four times faster than under George W. Bush, according to Jonah Goldberg. Jonah calls the ACA, "Slimcare" and says, "it seems like a smashing success so long as the results don't matter, just like slim liberalism". Or as I prefer to call it, "slim progressivism". A recurring theme of socialism rears it's ugly head once again. Good intentions are what matter. Positive results that actually provide an improved quality of life for tax paying citizens, not so much.
Just you wait for the next progressive "IED". That will be the earth shattering explosion poised to ignite next November when the employer mandate takes effect. Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Kathleen Sebelius and of course Barack (SAM) Obama will have been outed as the real terrorists, arsonists and plunderers of the poor and middle class. That's because Obamacare is not about improved health care. It is about power and control and soft tyranny. Geez, could that be why conservative, tea party types want to repeal this really bad law?
