Food at the Oakland A's Coliseum
- j
- Judy Feb 25, 2006 09:45 AM
My husband (the true baseball fanatic) and I will be in Sonoma and SF for 3 days each. We are going to 2 A's games against the Yankees...does anyone have any recs for some decent baseball fare...I know it seems like any oxymoron, but I am giving up 2 night of fine San Fran dining to go to the games, and a hot dog just doesn't quite make it for me. LOL.
The food offerings at the Coliseum change slightly from season to season, so I can't guarantee what will be available, but I'm linking a post from a couple of years ago. In particular, since you're going to be there two days in a row, I suggest you check out the food directory I mentioned at customer service behind section 119.
In addition, the West Side club has decent carvery-type offerings, and many people have raved about the fish sandwich at the Your Black Muslim Bakery stand.
If you're coming from Sonoma, one option would be to pick up some gourmet goodies and bring your own picnic.
I hope, BTW, that you already have tickets: they reduced the seating capacity of the Coliseum this year (closed down the entire upper deck) and tickets for popular series like the Yankees are likely to sell out quickly.
re: Ruth Lafler
The one good thing about the Coliseum chow-wise is the beer selection. The concourse on the 100 level has quite a few offerings, a lot more than I'd expect at a major-league park.
But for food (as well as gameday atmosphere) the Coliseum lags far behind Pac Bell Park in SF, IMO.
re: Agent 510
Hello, the best food at the AT&T/SF ballpark is right outside the entrance, the outstanding franks and onions that Acme sells, and the only food really worth the calories at either park for me. Inside, the variety is outweighed by the (normal for ball park)high priced mediocrity: nasty garlic fries (is it so hard just to splash some olive oil, fresh garlic and parsley?), overthickened chowder, cha-cha bowls excessively mainstreamed and lacking in Caribbean panache/complexity,seafood that looks like fare from a neglected tourist stand at Fisherman's wharf. A good taco truck would be a blessing. In Oakland we get field level seats for less $$ than the upperupper SF deck, and as you noted, the beer is better. Oakland fans are more involved with the game,rather than negotiating deals on their cell phones. The SF facility is far better, but we can afford more games in Oakland,hating the DH as I do and speaking as a Giants fan from '59. cheers
re: Ruth Lafler
Yes, we have tickets, I bought them as soon as they were available. It is very weird that we fly allllll the way to Oakland from Ft Lauderdale and then go 2 nights in a row to a baseball game, but then I am married to a TRUE baseball fan. His goal is to visit all the Major baseballparks in the US. We may do the carvery thing.
re: Ruth Lafler
If you're going to be arriving hungry, you might want to bring food with you because the lines will be rather long with the stadium being full, and the lower concourse gets very crowded with everyone standing around waiting for their beer.
However, the grub at the Coliseum is pretty decent. If it's really crowded you can wait for the vendors to come around, but the vendors usually only have Pizza Hut pizzas or basic hot dogs. (Or, if they're particularly unlucky vendors, ice cream sandwiches which they will vainly offer on a chilly April night.) The hot dogs are nothing special but several stands sell a fair selection of Saag's sausages, which are good. The barbecue stand behind third base is my particular favorite; I like the pork sandwich and there's also a beef version. They also offer chicken and ribs with potato salad and cole slaw; tasty, but difficult to eat from your lap with people on either side of you. The fish and chips are not bad, the salads and the baked potatoes at the deli place behind home plate are good if you're in the mood for them, and you can also get a good latte there if it gets cold. What the Coliseum really needs, though, especially for these night games at the beginning of the season, is a pho stand. They have one at the Seattle Seahawks stadium, so why not here?
re: theSauce
Hello, you're right as usual. Best to see where there's a tv monitor in relation to the concession procession before queing up, and this year, sadly, no Bill King from the little radio I take. regards
re: matt c
Correction: Go to International Boulevard, as East 14th is now called and has been since 1992.
Info on all the great restaurants is easily available by searching the Chowhound archives.
Hello, your best bet is to pack some nice grinder/hoagie/muffaleta type sandwiches--pick up some Vella (recognized by Slow Food as a living treasure) cheeses when in Sonoma if you wish to make your own, there's plenty of good breads and fancy meats to choose from around here, or places that will make them to order.Food inside the park is very ordinary, but the beer selection is above average, with a Hawaiian brewery and Pyramid offering alternatives to the AB-Miller-Coors hegemony. If you like eating late there are decent places open after game time on both sides of the bay. enjoy
Thanks to all you great chowhounds for the info. I really do hate to waste too much time getting food from concessions,,,and I can just imagine those 2 games will be crowded. We will have to figure this one out. Do they allow you to take in food BTW???? We are going on April for the 2 games right after opening day. I love CA!
re: Judy
Yup, they allow food -- and small, soft-sided coolers -- as long as it's not in a glass or metal container.
If you haven't been there before, you have to have the garlic fries. I had never seen them before I moved here.
The only decent food at the coliseum is maybe the BBQ. All the other stuff is just normal ball park fare. The BBQ is a bit better, but certainly not great. The BBQ stand is on the main concourse down the third base line, a bit past the start of the outfield. They serve ribs, pork BBQ sandwiches, peach cobbler, etc. Not too bad, but expensive compared to everything else. I've never eaten in the bar area, but they sometimes set up a dinner meal. The second game should be taco Tuesday.
I will see you there as I wouldn't miss those damn Yankees and the opportunity to boo Jeter for the world.
re: thirtyeyes
I do love Johnny Damon however...he is such a great guy. I saw him quite a few times here in FLL at spring training....one of the few guys who EAGERLY signs kid's balls...not many of those around IMO. I have to admit I love baseball too!
re: thirtyeyes
Note: they changed BBQ purveyors for 2008. The new stand is Kinder's BBQ behind section 106. The "famous" ball tip sandwich was pretty good. The thin-sliced meat was actually medium rare and tender. The bread was lamentable, as is always the case with sandwiches that are premade and kept in a warmer, and the sauce was forgettable, but it tasted like real food, and not Sysco.
re: Ruth Lafler
Actually, Ruth, the other BBQ stand (Ribs'n'Things, I believe) is still there, on the other side of the bleachers from Kinder's. So we now have two choices of BBQ at the Coliseum, and both are pretty good. There's also a pulled pork sandwich at one of the other stands that's decent.
I'm sorry to report that the fish and chips, which I said were pretty good two years ago, have changed and are now totally inedible. Shrimp and chips and popcorn chicken are pretty lousy too. There is a new gimmick of fries or soup served in a souvenir batting helmet; the soup on Friday night was tortilla, the guy eating it in my section said it was great, but that may have been related to the fact that it was freezing cold that night.
re: thirtyeyes
I also usually end up eating Ribs n' Things and agree on both on the quality and the price. Really nice people.
Ruth mentioned Kinder's and that's great that there are now two BBQ spots especially because they both offer different styles. I remember Ribs n' Things having a thicker Kansas City-style sauce on their meats while Kinder's marinates their meat (all beef? I've gone to their location in Pleasant Hill and gotten marinated meat to take home and don't remember seeing any pork...) in a wet marinade, grills it, and then serves slices with a thinner, sweet, vinegary mop sauce. I like Kinder's tritip, but they're famous for their ball tip.
re: adrienne156
Kinder's also had a pulled pork sandwich on the menu, but I didn't try it. The red ring that looked like a smoke ring on the beef must be from the marinade, as it's obviously not smoked. In fact, I'm sure most of the BBQ purists here would not consider it BBQ. But if you go in thinking it's just a beef sandwich, it's pretty good.
re: Ruth Lafler
Yeah, the ring is definitely from the marinade. I'd consider myself an aficionado, but not quite a purist and I'm just calling it "BBQ" for all intents and purposes because both use barbeque sauce.
The last thing I want is another "BBQ purist" on my case. <g>

Well done for flicking always-on crypto switch, Yahoo! Now here's what you SHOULD have done
Re: Quite!
It's good for people to realize what is actually happening with their mail. Most don't and tech companies abuse this by giving us half solutions. Anyway, in my opinion, using TLS on all connections will at least make it much harder to do wholesale mass surveillance. It's pretty cheap to implement and pretty expensive to crack.
Anyway, meanwhile, people think of new alternatives such as Mailpile. Check it out.
SMTP connections are (often) still unencrypted
Lately I have been trying to figure out whether the connection between Yahoo's mail servers and the recipient's mail server is encrypted. It seems that most of the cases it is not using TLS thus unencrypted a.k.a. plain text. I'm not quite sure what causes it to sometimes use TLS and sometimes not. It might be that no common cipher can be negotiated. Or that Yahoo has many servers which are not all configured in the same way.
You can test yourself by sending email to/from your Yahoo mail with another email account and then check the mail headers. How to view those depends on your mail client. In Yahoo mail you can do it by clicking on "More" below the email and then choose "View Full Header". In Outlook view the Message Options box. In Thunderbird press ctrl-U. Google for others.
You will see several "Received:" headers which will show the path of the nodes your email passed by (in reverse order). Now look for the top most (usually) "Received:" header where the mail is handed over from the Yahoo mail server to your ISP's mail server (or vice versa). There is will something like "with ESMTPS" or "with SMTP". The second S stands for secure. So ESMTP is good, SMTP is bad.
NSA gets burned by a sysadmin, decides to burn 90% of its sysadmins
Better solution
First he wanted to double the number to sys admins to make it more secure. Now he wants to get rid of 90% of them. I guess someone whispered in his ear that is would be cheaper.
Well, I have a even better solution: why don't you decrease your world-wide data vacuuming by 90% (and actually do what your agency is supposed to do). This has several advantages:
- cuts costs
- you don't break the law
- 90% less chance less of leaks
- you don't piss every on Earth off so much

It's beyond me why companies involved in top secret research and military don't update software that is used throughout all of their offices and has vulnerabilities that are rated "critical" or "severe" and contain words like "remote code execution".

- right click blinking icon in bottom right corner
- press Update Now
- press Next
- press Finish.

These 20 controls are common sense and obvious and should be required for ANY company or government to implement that is in any way connection to the internet.

New class of industrial-scale super-phishing emails threatens biz
Re: super-phishing emails threatens biz
All the scary security news of last few years comes from marketing departments of security firms. Firms like Symantec and McAfee pump out these things on a daily basis. I think news sites should start to filter this kind of "news".
Doesn't spearfishing imply it's a very targeted attack with personalised emails? Sending so many messages to so many companies sounds more like regular phishing.
Since we will never solve the problem of users being misled and tricked to click a link, when will there be software that doesn't cause your computer to be p0wned only by clicking on a link?
APT1, that scary cyber-Cold War gang: Not even China's best
More critical reading is needed
The evidence linking hackers to a government or to a certain group is very thin or non-existent. What seems to be happening is that all of the thousands of hacks that happen every day are grouped into categories, then labeled as being from a common source.
All this is being done by governments with political agendas, soon-to-be-unemployed army generals looking for the next war and security vendors with gear/services to sell.
I take all this with a grain of salt. Meanwhile, all these companies moaning about being attacked are wise to teach their employees not to get caught in phishing attempts, install the latest patches on *all* of their equipment and start using encryption a little bit more (anyone using S/MIME or PGP?).
Chinese PLA soldiers 'mastermind cyber-espionage Cold War'
Not hard evidence
I have read the report and I don't see much hard evidence. There are a lot of facts in the report, but how they are linked together or where the facts come from stays a mystery. Not much substance and some dubious assumptions, in my humble opinion.
For example, how do they link the attacks to PLA's Unit 61398?
- They found that all attacks come from 4 /16 IPv4 net blocks (a total of 262k addresses), all owned by China Unicom. China Unicom is the 3rd largest telco in the world, with 273 million (!) customers in 2008.
- Then they link the netblocks to a city, Shanghai (the largest city in China, population of 23 million).
- Next they conclude that because the office of the Unicom engineer listed as contact person for the netblock is in the Pudong area
- The PLA Unit 61398 is also in the Pudong area
- Hence the IP addresses must belong to the PLA and is the source of the attack
Let me translate this into English:
- Suspect IP address belongs to a netblock owned by BT and is used in greater London area
- The BT engineer's office is in the centre of London according to whois
- MI6 is in the centre of London
- Hence the attack came from MI6.
Amazon, eBay, banks snub anti-fraud DNS tech, sniff securo bods
I had the same question
I have often wondered why there aren't any big sites using DNSSEC. Sure, it's a little complicated for the average Joe. But it's must be a piece of cake for big banks and e-tailer that already have large IT-departments and millions worth of infrastructure. They have the resources to have a guy or 2 or 3 devote themselves to DNSSEC and just implement it.
RIPE NCC handing out last European IPv4 addresses
Why don't we just take Iran's IPv4 addresses?
An American lobby group, United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI), is seriously pressuring RIPE (and ICANN) into cutting Iran off the internet. That's also a way to get some more IPv4 addresses...
P.S. Cutting a whole country off internet because their government supposedly does naughty things, is a very bad idea in my humble opinion.
WTF is... UltraViolet

Dell buy-out latest: Big Mike makes shareholders an offer they can't refuse
Dell has once more put off the vote on whether company founder Big Mike can buy out the PC-making titan - after he and his biz partner Silver Lake Partners slightly upped their offer to shareholders and demanded a change to the voting rules. The computer giant's special board committee postponed the stockholder vote on Mikey …
Does anyone else
wish that somebody would slap ICahn? I mean the guy sounds like a little bitch.
"Oh he's only offering you that much? Well I think the company is worth four times that amount and I'm holding out until he ups his offer. Can I match his offer? Well I don't have the money right now, but I'm sure I can get it if you vote against him"
He's like a little kid crying because Mikey has a bigger portion of chips than he does, even though they're the exact same size. ( a bit like Veruca Salt )
Re: Does anyone else
I certainly do.
"Activist investor" my ass, the guy's built a fortune gutting and dismembering companies for a quick buck, shafting both employees and other shareholders in the process. And crying like a little bitch when someone resists the shafting, apparently. Pond scum, barely above patent lawyers and credit card fraudster, if at all.
Re: Does anyone else
This does seem to be Icahn's Waterloo, and boy oh boy do I want to see him go down!
Re: Does anyone else
Nah, the person doing the slapping might catch something, even if he/she was wearing surgical gloves.
I'd prefer something longer range and possibly a bit more painful.
Oh dear
I'm going to run out of popcorn.
Keep up the the good work El Reg.
In a Case
like this, surely the stockholders can count on SEC regulators to champion the interests of the stockholders.
One notes that Icahn is a mere toddler when compared to the tag team of Mikey and Intel.
I Ca(h)n't believe it...
"The Special Committee has now been asked to GUT this provision to effectively render it meaningless"
What's meaningless is the decision being weighted in favour of those who don't vote. While there may be good reason for a few of them not being able to vote, the majority who don't vote don't care enough to, and therefore they are happy to go along with whatever decision the people who DO vote, vote for. Discounting the people who don't vote as irrelevant is the ONLY fair way to assess what those who actually have an opinion on the matter want. To paraphrase Richad Prior, Icahn is a dick, and not even a hard on.
Re: I Ca(h)n't believe it...
I see the point Mike was making with the request. Were I writing the rules from the outset I think they are the way I would write them.
But the flip side is that Mike got to write the rules at the time they went public and he chose to write them the way he did, probably to protect the company from hostile takeovers. And it does bother me to change them in the middle of the game. It bothers me even more to change them in the last 10 minutes of the final quarter. So I think Mike should have to win the vote under the existing rules.

Riversdale Lodge, S.Yat West
House | 6 bedrooms | sleeps 14
|Key Info
Riversdale Lodge is set in the heart of Symonds Yat overlooking the River Wye. Riversdale Lodge was built circa.1910. It is a six bedroom house that has in it's time been a small hotel - hence it has 6 bedrooms and six bathrooms!
Riversdale Lodge is on the banks of the River Wye and has direct access from the garden to the river and the riverside path that leads down to Biblins Bridge and beyond.
The Lodge has an outdoor swimming pool (open in the summer from June 1st to September 30th)) and has great views of Symonds Yat East and the rapids. We accept weekly bookings as well as bookings for midweek (Monday to Friday) and weekends (Friday to Monday). Due to the nature of the property we do not accept all male or all female parties (or close to this) - Riversdale Lodge is for mixed groups and families. The prices for the bookings are shown on the price list.
The layout of the lodge is:
Lounge - with log burner and three sofas, a pool table, a football table, a TV that can be used for games consoles (guests would need to bring console) and also a plasma with Sky HD tv (including all sports)
Dining room - with two round tables, one seating 10 and one seating 4
Kitchen - with breakfast bar for four
Utility Room - with washer / dryer, second sink, drying area
Bedroom 1 - Double with ensuite shower, washbasin and toilet
Bedroom 2 - Two singles (& cot) with ensuite shower, washbasin and toilet (the wooden cot is too large to transfer to other rooms)
Bedroom 3 - Double with ensuite shower, washbasin and toilet
Bedroom 4 - Double with ensuite shower, washbasin and toilet
Bedroom 5 - Two singles and a bunk bed (for two) - with plasma tv and dvd (no tv signal - just for dvd)
Bedroom 6 - Downstairs double with no stairs from front door with ensuite shower, washbasin, toilet and small dvd player with screen
There is also a family bathroom on the first floor with roll-top bath, washbasin and toilet
We allow one or two dogs - that have to stay on the ground floor (Bed 6 is downstairs)
Immediately outside the house there is a patio area with 4 wooden benches, two chairs and large table.
There is parking for up to 8 cars in the large car park which is at the end of the drive near the house.
The pool is heated and open from middle of May to the end of September. It is 3ft 6" sloping to 5" maximum. It is a private pool for the house - not shared with any other house. Guests will need to bring pool/beach towels for use by the pool. The pool uses an eco-friendly heat transfer system to heat the pool - it relies on the heat of the air to transfer to the water (therefore if there are periods of cooler weather the pool will not necessarily be that warm).
From the car park there are two shallow steps down to the house level, and then one step up into the house. Bedroom 6 is on the ground floor so one or two persons with limited mobility could use Riversdale Lodge.
We are dog friendly and allow a maximum of two dogs per stay. There is a charge of £25 per dog and we do not allow the dogs upstairs in the house or on the furniture! Bed 6 is downstairs - and it has a wooden floor so okay to sleep with you dog/s In the same room. We do ask that dog owners clean the lawns of any poop before they go.
Outside of the school holidays we accept bookings for weekends or midweek breaks.
A weekend is from Friday 4pm to Monday 10am.
A midweek break is Monday 4pm to Friday 10am .

The Heart of England/Peak District
Symonds Yat is a village in the Forest of Dean and a popular tourist destination, straddling the River Wye and the borders of the English counties of Herefordshire and Gloucestershire, it is within a few miles of the Welsh border. The name is said to come from Robert Symonds, a 17th-century sheriff of Herefordshire and "yat" as an old word for a gate or pass.
Tourist activities include canoeing and kayaking down the rapids, boat trips, a maze, an oriental garden, and a number of country pubs and guest houses, including the Old Court, The Saracens Head Inn, Ye Old Ferrie Inn and the Wyenot.
River crossings - Two hand ("pull") cable ferries enable foot passengers to cross the river, powered by ferrymen who pull the ferry across the river using an overhead cable. The coonnection by road is upstream over Huntsham bridge; One ferry is operated by the Saracens Head Inn and the other is operated by the Old Ferry Inn.
Biblins Bridge - A suspension bridge was built over the river by the Forestry Commission using local oak timbers in 1957. Linking Symonds Yat East to the Biblins site, the bridge was fully refurbished in 1997 and rotten timbers and the two support towers were replaced.
Symonds Yat Rock - overlooks a spectacular gorge through which the River Wye snakes. This rock is the perfect viewpoint from which to watch raptors. A pair of Peregrine Falcons that nest annually within sight of the rock can be watched through telescopes set up by the RSPB. Buzzards, goshawks and hobbies are also regularly seen and it is sometimes possible to see migrant raptors such as ospreys and European Honey Buzzards.
Seven Sisters Rocks - are seven limestone pillars on the Herefordshire side of the River Wye.
Rock Climbing - The River Wye at Symonds Yat has cut a deep gorge in the Carboniferous Limestone exposing numerous impressive cliff faces. There is extensive and popular rock climbing in this area with long single pitches at all grades.
Ross on Wye
There are several pubs within walking distance of Riversdale Lodge:
The Saracen's Head - one of the best restaurants and terraces
The Olde Ferrie Inn - run by the friendliest landlord in England
The Old Court Inn Hotel - good bar and restaurant

There is kayaking and canoeing directly on the river Wye - with fishing with permits from the local fishing shop in Ross on Wye

Free Government Cell Phones
It's all true, you just might find yourself eligible for a free government cell phone from the well-meaning people in Washington D. C. They probably don't want to contact you from our nation's capital. They will not be waking you during the night to ask if your refrigerator is running (that's a joke: not too funny.) They do understand your need to communicate with friends and they want to help you as much as possible. You might want to allow them to help you. Here are the fun facts and amazing details of this program. You should take a look around and see how it will help you.
- The US Government is paying for free wireless phones for people living in the United States. This program is nothing new. Our George Bush presidential administration started the program and the Obama administration keeps it going for all of us to benefit from. It's true and accurate. Through the programs offered by freely available public institutions, We The People can get free service, free phones and other hardware, and free monthly minutes.
- Free government cell phones usually include rollover minutes, free voice mail, free called ID and free call waiting. Other add-ons often pop up as well. They have the features you need. The precise number of free monthly minutes varies by state. Check with the providers for details about minutes.
- The program is administered by zip code. It's not available in all states, but your state might be in the list. It is currently available in Alabama, Connecticut, DC, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin. Other states will be added soon as more people need phone assistance.
- Participants will never receive a bill. You don't get a bill! Participants are not required to sign a contract. It's the law and that's how it works.
- You're not going to get a state-of-the-art smart phone or an iPhone but you will be able to communicate and improve your life.
- Requirements vary somewhat by state. Ohio residents, for example, are eligible if they receive benefits from any of these programs:
- Section 8/Federal Public Housing Assistance
- Medicaid
- Food Stamps
- Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
- Free National School Lunch Program (NSL)
- General Assistance/Disability Assistance
- Home Energy Assistance (HEAP)
- Supplemental Security Disability Income (SSDI)
- Ohio Works First or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
- Eligibility may also be determined by income level. Families who earn up to 150% of the US Poverty level may also qualify:
Persons in Family or Household Annual Income Monthly Income 1 $16,245 $1,354 2 $21,855 $1,822 3 $27,465 $2,289 4 $33,075 $2,757 5 $38,685 $3,224 6 $44,295 $3,692 7 $49,905 $4,159 8 $55,515 $4,627 For each additional person, add... $5,610 $468
Free Government Phones
- Free government phones come from SafeLink and other reputable companies. They will never expire, but some participants will be randomly selected on an annual basis to provide proof of eligibility. Don't panic: it's an easy process for you. An online form is available to provide proof of eligibility. The online proof of eligibility form requires information such as name, date of birth, phone number, state, and two check boxes. The first check box confirms that the phone recipient is a head of household and is not claimed as a dependent on some else's tax return. The second check box confirms that the free government phone recipient is indeed a free government phone recipient and no one else at the same address is a free government phone recipient. President Obama will not be checking up on you, nor will the AARP, so don't worry.
- Participants who become ineligible are required by the FCC to voluntarily remove themselves from the program. They are eligible to continue using the free government phone and purchase air time from wireless phone providers.
- An online application is available for potential free government phone recipients.

Micron, however, is the top performer so far this year, rising a whopping 48%, followed by SanDisk, up 27%. Western and Seagate managed respectable 18% and 16% returns. All are well ahead of the Standard and Poor's 500's 9.4% rise.
What's interesting is that the all four are alighting in unison even though their technologies—chips versus disks—are often positioned as being rivals in the storage world. The spate of good fortune probably has a lot to do with how these four parties have seen their industries become more "rational" in the last two years.
Amidst a slumping PC market, all four are benefiting from their own tight supplies, as well as new opportunities such as mobile phones and data centers "in the cloud," if you will.
Micron is expected to close on an acquisition of competitor Elpida Memory, which is in bankruptcy. That deal not only removes a player from the PC-oriented DRAM market, but is expected to boost Micron's involvement in memory chips for mobile devices.
As my colleague Alex Eule astutely noted in these pages last month ("Faster, Smaller, and More Energy Efficient," Feb. 2), SanDisk is benefiting both from being designed into Apple's iPhone (with the introduction of the iPhone 5 last fall), and also from a scenario in which manufacturers of flash memory are not building capacity in their factories as rapidly as they did in years past.
Prices for NAND flash are up 35% this year, and two weeks ago, that category of chips had its best week of the year in terms of pricing strength, according to a note put out Friday by RBC Capital Markets' Doug Freedman.
As Freedman explains it, "Industry supply is expected to be far more rational than years past," as the costs of making chips are rising, and to remain profitable, manufacturers have to try to keep prices of NAND high.
For Seagate and Western, the story has been told many times now how the hard-disk-drive industry has consolidated, reducing the risk of disastrous pricing battles.
That saner environment continues to delight Wall Street. A report a week ago from Richard Kugele of Needham made the point yet again: "It is hard not to be impressed with the management discipline currently being exhibited by the leaders of the drive industry." He continued: "Demand, particularly on the notebook side remains very weak, but the industry has responded swiftly by curtailing production and maintaining bare minimum inventory levels."
The product of that more-rational pricing environment for the drive makers is better shareholder returns. Seagate's 4.3% dividend is exemplary and well known at this point. Western is less scintillating, with a mere 2% dividend, but it is committed to paying out half its free cash flow in buyback and dividends. Writes Keith Bachman of BMO Capital Markets in a note to clients last week, Western can be expected to "consistently raise the dividend payout over the longer term."
Then again, the drive makers' stocks' ascendancy may signal that Wall Street finally takes seriously their ability to broaden beyond disk drives to flash-based drives, which are faster and higher in profitability. Western last week announced a $51 million investment in a start-up called Skyera, whose goal is to make the same relatively inexpensive flash memory used in consumer gadgets such as the iPod suitable for use in corporate storage systems.
WILL ALL THIS GOODWILL for memory makers last past the summer? It seems hard to imagine so, given how little good news is in store for the PC market, which still serves as a major source of demand for all four companies.
The buzz about the PC market remains almost universally negative: Pacific Crest's Michael McConnell two weeks ago wrote that his examination of the supply chain for notebook computers suggest sales were down in February by 18% from January's level, worse than the 13% decline he was modeling. The reasons are both sluggish interest in Microsoft's MSFT 0.1256544502617801% Microsoft Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD47.81 0.06 0.1256544502617801% /Date(1417205985523-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 20617142 AFTER HOURS USD47.82 0.00999999999999801 0.020916126333403055% Volume (Delayed 15m) : P/E Ratio 18.531007751937985 Market Cap 393596208740.234 Dividend Yield 2.5935996653419786% Rev. per Employee 714094 More quote details and news » (MSFT) Windows 8 operating system, and, more ominously, "increasing popularity of low-priced white tablets, specifically in China," by which he means the no-name brand machines the industry calls "white boxes."
Research firm IDC last week cut its estimate for this year's PC shipments to a drop of 1.3%, compared with its original forecast for a 2.8% increase. The firm cited a lack of touch-screen hardware to show off the best aspects of Windows 8.
At this point, the only companies trumpeting some magical resurgence of the PC market later this year are Microsoft and Intel INTC 0.948509485094851% Intel Corp. U.S.: Nasdaq USD37.25 0.35 0.948509485094851% /Date(1417207570168-0600)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 19128510 P/E Ratio 17.24537037037037 Market Cap 178411507377.625 Dividend Yield 2.4161073825503356% Rev. per Employee 510994 More quote details and news » (INTC). Both say there will be a raft of compelling new computers with touch-screen interfaces and foldable, hybrid forms that do double duty as tablet computers.
But the consumer is not standing still. IDC suggests that in the breach, they are allocating their money to tablets and smartphones, which continue to present ever more enticing bells and whistles. (See Gadget of the Week for a review of Samsung's latest, the Galaxy S4.)
Seagate and Western are echoing Intel and Microsoft's hopeful tone. In an interview with Seagate CFO Pat O'Malley in late February, Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty noted the company takes "new design wins" for its wares as evidence of "a calendar 2013 second-half PC demand uptick." But demand for components is not the same thing as actual user demand, and I suspect this is more wishful thinking on the part of the PC industry.
The trading data show Seagate has held up relatively well in the fall months in each of the last three years, while Western had a rough go of it in the latter part of 2010 and 2011 but beat the S&P 500 handily in the back half of last year. Micron has tended to be weak in the latter half of each of the last three years.
SanDisk, while the most expensive of the stocks, at 15 times forward earnings, also has the most interesting prospects in mobile phones, tablets, data centers, and the rest. The company has had decent back-half gains in each of the last three years, and it perhaps stands the best chance of holding up past June.

My MIL gave blouse piece,haldi kumkum and some inexpensive gift. You can give anything depending on availability. If you have the above,you can give them. Small gift could be anything like small steel bowl or even scented candles.
I recently did baby shower for my SIL and I wanted to give haldi kumkum but didnt find it in store. Their guest list was 75!!
So I got small party favor bags for 69-89 cents. Then in each bag, I put 1 banana and 1$ scented candle which come in glass jars. All of this you can get for cheap in Christmas tree or Dollar store.
It depends on what you want to give. I feel as long as you have good intention,it should be fine.
As for what snacks, make some pakodas. Also make some halwa..that can be used as prasad and given to eat same time. And then if you can pack in ziploc, you can give a bit of that in the party favor bag.So you see..here the options are endless...(By the way,Im not so religious..so if you are asking for customs, I am not sure)

I ENJOY invoking the wisdom of Soren Kierkegaards dictum that when an idea is unanimously accepted it follows it must be an error.
I think it near to being a universally accepted assumption that a defining role of all governments, even perhaps a duty, is to have a monopoly of money issuing within its jurisdiction. It was true of silver or gold coins.
The prince, king or emperor had to be the sole-issuer.
It was the essence of sovereignty to some. To others it was a potent taxing power.
I put my head above this well armoured parapet of agreement. We do not need government monopoly of money. We do not need Central Banks.
Abolition of this stale monopoly would open up new horizons for business and cure forever the deep-seated disease of the recurring waves of depression and unemployment that are deemed to be the fault of capitalism but which are really caused by Central Bank bungling.
At its most simple a state monopoly of money excuses all governments of the need to keep its expenditures within revenues. The spectacular increase in state control of the economy would be far less easy without these crucial controls derived from a money monopoly.
The attribution of money-issuing as a task fit only for politicians is an odd one. Is there a group of people more open to temptation and evasion of integrity?
Chancellor Gordon Brown was applauded for his innovation of sub-contracting the currency and the rate of inflation to the Bank of England. Such has been the dreadful record of political money powers that we regard the current rate of inflation, bobbing along above 2% and rising as fairly creditable. It is shameful. At 2% the value of the pound is halved in 35 years and at 3% it is a mere 23 years. The correct rate is zero - year in and year out. Inflation is merely the dilution of the currency by those with a monopoly of its creation.
Do not be diverted by the mythical causes of inflation such as greedy trade unions, oil sheiks, speculators or retailers. They merely see a countrys money losing value so their prices rise. The commonplace view that middle men cause price rises is as scientific as thinking rain is caused by wet pavements.
In the European Union (EU) we may have seen the high watermark of the monopoly-money ideal. Those nations that signed up for the euro have submitted to a supra-national central bank.
Not a voice was heard from official sources that a total free market in monies might be more fruitful and more interesting. This was the hoovering up of monetary diversity into a Commission-derived monopoly The notion that lays unspoken in so much public debate is that the state is the repository of a wisdom and benevolence not to be found in the vulgar rough and trouble of the market.
I contest the notion civil servants, in this case central bankers, are disinterested guardians of the public good. They are the eternal exponents of monetary nationalism as well as inflation.
I do not claim my notion is original. The first person to write on this theme was Professor Benjamin Klein. Other liberals, in the old sense, have doubted the sense in gifting such a role to the political class.
Perhaps the most arresting essay on this topic was Hayeks seminal The Denationalisation of Money. Hayek argued that it is only numismatists that have no illusions about central banks. The great inflations of the past such as Diocletian or Henry VIII were all attributed eventually to rascals (perhaps we should say crooks?) adding base metal to the coins, clipping their coins or, when it came to paper money, simply printing much more than they said they would. The issuing of extra money empowers the state.
Professor Hayek argues that money does not need to be created by a single authority but, like laws and language and morals, it would emerge an

Your favorite (non-smelly) one pot/one dish recipes?
- juliejulez Mar 30, 2014 08:08 AM
I am putting my house on the market soon, and cooking "smelly" food is not really an option. I also do not have a vented hood so things like stir fries or anything cooked in oil doesn't fare so well... the house will still smell the next day (not to mention those tend to be messier). Also, I don't want to be doing hoardes of dishes every night, so I thought having a good arsenal of one pot/one baking dish meals might be helpful.
So what say you fine Chowhounders? What are your favorite (non-smelly) one pot meals? I have a couple I like but would like some more.
Boiling some vinegar and water in a pot on the stove for a bit is great at removing odors (our next door neighbors dog gets skunked with regularity and our 100 year old house isn't totally air tight...) The vinegar smell dissipates quickly and takes ALL house odors with it (cooking, pets, etc.)
I honestly can't think of anything good that doesn't have some smell to it other than sandwiches.
re: weezieduzzit
Thanks for the tip about the vinegar!
I think the smell while cooking is fine, it's more the "after smells" I'm worried about. Like, if I am making chicken in a pan with oil, my house will still smell the next day. But a smell of a baked dish or a stew or soup is OK since it doesn't seem to linger til the next day.
re: juliejulez
Gotcha. Hopefully your weather is getting nice and you can open the windows and let the fresh air in.
re: weezieduzzit
That it is! Also reminds me I can start using the grill!
re: juliejulez
The grill is the answer if you don't want cooking smells in your kitchen and you think you can't have non-smelling foods. Although there is a lot of foods that aren't that "smelly".
Baked/roasted potatoes, large salads, some vegie sides, all these are fine. Cook your protein on the grill.
re: juliejulez
I'm always reading how people use vinegar to neutralize odors, but any time I've tried it, I can still smell the vinegar the next day. I use a product called "Smells Begone" that work amazingly well. I like the spray because it gets rid of odors without having any fragrance of it's own. I've used it for neutralizing odors in the house from cooking, from the dog (her feet always smell like corn chips) and the litterbox.
re: monavano
re: weezieduzzit
re: weezieduzzit
Exactly :) I used to call my Honeycomb Frito feet. It is a cute little smell--especially if you like Fritos ;)
re: iL Divo
a loaf of fresh bread, sure it helps if you made it from scratch cause you can add whatever fragrances to it to make it 'waft" more when baking and yes do bake it about 20 minutes before they're due to arrive
also cinnamon sticks&cloves&lemon&orange rinds (in a small sauce pan with water) on the stove simmering away smells simply grand
don't forget brownies, even if they're boxed and inexpensive you can doll 'em up by adding more chocolate and cinnamon plus extra vanilla to make the house smell like they wanna eat it when they walk in, the house not the brownies
Keep frozen pre-cut cookie dough on hand to throw in the oven when you know buyers are coming.
re: monavano
maybe just bake the cookies after you've made your own meal?
Coming from someone who has sold three houses in a timely manner: there are certain smells that actually sell a house. Chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven (or a dab of vanilla extract on a lit lightbulb) always worked for us. Make sure you offer them one.
Also I had a younger single male coming by with an agent one night around dinnertime, so I popped in some bacon for BLTs and then made sure we were sitting on the porch drinking gin and tonics when he arrived. He instantly said to us, I want to be sitting where you are drinking what you are. He made an offer on the spot.
And if all else fails, don't forget to bury a St Joseph statue upside down right outside, hasn't failed us yet. My mom, a longtime real estate broker, told us about this very popular trick.
re: juliejulez
So then you know, don't make the house TOO sterile either! You want them to imagine they already moved in. Next time maybe I'll get the agent to find out what they like to eat ;-)
re: c oliver
re: c oliver
There are so many "tricks" out there. I personally have found that as long as the house smells clean (ie not of food, strong fragrances, cat pee or pets in general, cigarette smoke, dirty diapers, trash etc etc etc), it's good to go.
The real key to selling your house and making it an easy transaction, at least in this market, is to just price it realistically, and detach yourself from it emotionally.
re: iL Divo
What, the male buyer? Last time I drove through the old neighborhood, our cute ranch house had been sold again and turned into a McMansion. Don't know where he ended up, I'd like to think he was your new neighbor or something. Don't tell me you were baking choc chip cookies!
re: c oliver
Homemade bread might be an alternative to appeal to potential home owners.
re: Ruthie789
Baked goods in general help staging, but the smell of pomegranate molasses wafting from a bademjan or fessenjan is lovely, and it returns to the OP request for a one-pot meal.
re: juliejulez
When a promising prospect came to look at our house, I had yeasty-smelling cinnamon rolls in the oven and a pot of coffee brewing. After they were done looking, we had coffee and warm rolls. They bought the house and have now lived it 23 years.
re: Querencia
I've never had a realtor - and we've had a few ) - who 'allowed' us to be there when the house was being shown.
Texas hash which is cooked in the oven. There are several, maybe thousands, of recipes available online.
Mac & cheese with bacon and tomato
Risotto with mushrooms and diced cherry tomatoes
Faux Paella, made without the saute step
Beef or pork or chicken stews; brown the meat in the oven instead of on stovetop.
When I need to "freshen" the air quickly, I mix equal parts water and vodka, and add juice of a lemon in a spray bottle. Spritz into the air, especially around the stove and trash bin. Open the window. No "fake" scent, and the room smells good in about 5 minutes. I use this for client kitchens, too :)
re: KarenDW
Speaking of risotto, here's a Wolfgang Puck recipe for risotto made in a rice cooker. Quite tasty and super easy.
re: KarenDW
"Mac & cheese with bacon and tomato"
I'm sold :)
re: iL Divo
My house smells like bacon forever after we cook it. I'd nix the bacon. Or, I've never tried it, but buy the precooked?
re: KarenDW
Karen, I'd be so happy if you jotted down the recipe for your M&C w~b&t
I'm smiling here just thinkin about it, TIA
re: iL Divo
not much of a recipe, really, ID
Use your favorite baked M&C recipe, subbing bacon for the butter in the roux. Saute a little chopped onion or shallot before cooking the flour. I like to use a little white wine in the sauce.
Slice 1/2 of a pint basket of cherry tomatoes, and reserve. Seed (i.e., cut in half at the equator, and sqeeze gently; strain and save the "tomato water" for a martini) and dice the rest of the tomatoes.
Stir the diced, seeded toms into the M&C (add more cooked bacon here if desired), then divide amongst buttered ramekins.
Arrange the sliced tomatoes over top. Sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs. What the heck, toast the breadcrumbs in a small pan with bacon fat...
Bake about 30 min @ 350.
If freezing for later, wrap well and freeze BEFORE baking. Defrost overnight in fridge, and then bake for about 40 min @ 350 or 375-ish.
I remember those days and I lived in FEAR that our very open concept house would linger on the market. (no walls to contain smells to just the kitchen area)
I made up some italian beef in the crock pot for sandwiches, which I froze in 2 person serving sizes. Also did a pork butt in the slow cooker, for lots of easy to reheat options (sandwiches, carnitas, etc). Lasagna/stuffed shells, lots of leftover clean out the freezer stuff since we knew we were hoping to move soon as well.
We were very lucky to have 2 offers in 4 days after listing. We celebrated with salmon. And it was nice and smelly!
chicken pot pie...........beef or steak with mushrooms and onions in gravy..shepheards pie......some odor, but not a lot
Eggy dishes like frittatas (skip the side of bacon!)
Stewed beans and greens with crusty bread
Stuffed baked potatoes
Entree salads- i'm loving those antipasto gigante beans on salads with chopped veggies, quinoa, and whatever herbs are around
Lots of "hotdish" recipes in my repetoire.
The CH Jerk Chicken recipe smells wonderful while cooking and is great served on sandwich buns with a simple side of coleslaw. Be sure to use a well-sealed bag to store any leftover cabbage/coleslaw.
Seven Seas casserole - canned tuna (wash the empty tins and take out to the garbage/recycle right away), uncooked rice, peas, cream of mushroom soup (or equivalent), extra water for rice to absorb while cooking, herbs of your choice plus parsley. Bake, top with some cheese during last 5 minutes.
And everyone's had Hamburger Hot Dish at some point. The key to this one is using cream of chicken soup.
Hamburger Potato Hot Dish Casserole
350 degrees, 1 hour - until potatoes are done
6 medium potatoes
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 lb ground beef
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can milk
Shredded cheese / Velveeta cheese slices for topping.
Brown meat & onion in fry pan. Peel & slice potatoes. Alternately layer meat and potato slices in 2 ½ quart deep casserole (or big yellow ovenproof mixing bowl) until all are used. Mix soup and milk. Pour over potatoes & ground beef.
Bake 1 hour, 350 degrees or until potatoes are done.
Top with shredded cheese / Velveeta cheese slices for last 5 minutes.
This beef-onion-cornbread "pie" works well in a 2 quart casserole. And while it requires a skillet and a small mixing bowl as well as the 2 quart dish, it's very satisfying and leftovers reheat well.
This might be the time to make use of some of the pre-prepped vegetables in your supermarket, if budget allows. I find that foods "smell" less when cooked stovetop, rather than microwaved.
An easy, non-messy faux stir-fry can be assembled using fresh or frozen veg medley, bottled sauce (I like san-jay brand) and cooked peeled shrimp or deli rotisserie chicken. Serve with jasmine scented rice.
Just go easy on the sesame oil :)
Also, if you like the seasonings on the roast beef, turkey, etc in the deli department of your grocer, then use that as your protein. Ask for it to be sliced thicker, and then julienne or dice at home for one-dish meals, chef's salad, or snacks.
One trick for a nice homey smell is to boil sliced apple with lots of cinnamon; boil gently and let the steam waft. Do this trick about the open house time.
Not a one-pot, but I take the electric frypan onto the back patio for cooking foods I don't want to smell the next day -- including bacon, grilled/poached fish, panfried steak, panfried potatoes or battered veggies/meats, pan-roasted veg, etc.
Individual salad bowls. Salad in bowls, dressed, then topped with your chosen protein and extras like cheese, bacon bits or sunflower seeds.
Make soup before home is being shown. Freeze soup for use later.
Good luck, Julie. Our house goes on the market next week. A couple of days ago, I made Sarma (a Serbian dish with meat, cabbage, and sauerkraut that's baked in the oven). It bubbled over and burned on the oven floor. And, of course, created a bad smell. I had to run the oven cleaning cycle which, of course, created another bad smell. I am not baking again until after we sell unless I know with certainty it's something that won't bubble over.
re: soccermom13
I think the emphasis on NOT creating smells is far more important than creating them. Burned cabbage? Noooo :)
re: foiegras
I'm traveling in Europe right now. There are about 40ish in our group. I warrant that we are the only two "CHs" in the group. I bet many wouldn't care for the smell of food in a house they were touring. Just playing a numbers game.
re: foiegras
foiegras.................gad I wish I could smell, right now, all bets are off for me in that respect. it may return when this sinus thing leaves, I do miss that sense.
re: iL Divo
Can you taste at least? So sad.
re: iL Divo
I do know, from Mom, that that kind of thing takes months if not years to resolve. Maybe I'd lose some weight but still, I pray I don't have to find out personally.
re: iL Divo
Hope it comes back, il Divo.
That awesome NY Times homemade Mac & Cheese recipe....the scent of Comfort Food...
you'll sell the house in no time!
As long as the weather is decent (not raining) and you don't have roaming neighborhood dogs, I've plugged a slow cooker in out on the patio as well. (Didn't want to smell up the house when my bad gall bladder was making me super nauseated.) If you can't put it outside but have a safe spot in the garage, that might be an option as well - it is at least much easier to air out the garage.
I've had good luck lately cooking meat in the slow cooker (shredded beef or pulled pork for sandwiches, whole chicken, beef roast, pork ribs) and then putting corn on the cob, tightly wrapped in aluminum foil, on top of the meat. The corn cooks nicely without picking up the flavor of the meat, and then I can just add a side salad and some fresh fruit for a meal.
Soup (as long as it isn't dairy based) does well in the slow cooker as well. We are folks that are ok with eating soup during the warmer seasons though, so that might not be as good of a choice depending on your preferences.

Building on a story we broke this past Tuesday, Oregon bunning back Onterrio Smith and tight end George Wrighster both said they will give up their final seasons of eligibility and enter the NFL draft.
Smith missed three games with a knee injury that eventually required surgery while Wrighster set a school record with 41 receptions this season, most ever by an Oregon tight end.
Two more OU juniors, safety Keith Lewis and receiver Sammie Parker are also considering making the jump to the NFL.
University of Colorado tailback Chris
Brown also declared himself eligible for this year's National Football
League draft, making public his decision Friday morning.
Brown received feedback from the NFL that indicated he would be at least be a second round pick.
"I think this is the best thing for me to do," Brown said about reversing his decision "I've thoroughly explored it, and am comfortable with my decision, as is my family.
Oklahoma defensive end Jimmy Wilkerson informed Bob Stoops and the Sooner coaching staff today that he has decided to forgo his senior year enter the 2003 NFL draft, OU Insider confirmed today.
Hinting before the start of the season he would leave early for the pros were he to have a good year, Wilkerson now figures into the later rounds after what was a very disappointing campaign in 2003.
TFY Analysis: Smith is taking a huge chance but as we stated Tuesday, he may have had no other choice. Wrighster could move into the first day based on his athleticism and a weak tight end crop but needs to bulk up and run fast. A good forty time (4.55 area) could move Brown into the first round and ahead of Smith on the running back charts. Wilkerson is making a big mistake (as would both Lewis and Parker were they to leave) as he sorely needed another year to develop physically.
