Today is the big day I am getting my left hand operated on today. It shouldn't be as bad this one, as it is my left hand this time and I am right handed.
Anyhow, I have been busy putting together meals that are just to heat through, as dh doesn't cook. I have the following in either the fridge or the freezer:
Lentil Stew
Sausage and Baked Bean casserole
Sausage, Broccoli and Pasta, all I need to add to that is some Alfredo sauce
Cauliflower with Cheese sauce, will make garlic bread with that
Ham Bone Soup
Egg Pie
Stew in the crockpot - I think there will be three meals of that as I do a crockpot full.
Turkey Casserole
Pasta sauce with minced beef - two meals of that.
So that looks like 12 days of supper there. By then I will have limited use of my left hand as well as my right hand.
Still have cleaning to do this morning and a few other bits and bobs, but at least I won't have to worry about what we will be eating.

Obama won't bow to ransom — but shows some flexibility as GOP shifts a bit

- Durbin praises Kirk for 'stepping up' on debt ceiling
Updated: November 10, 2013 6:43AM
WASHINGTON — With a fiscal crisis looming, President Barack Obama vowed again not to negotiate with Republicans, but in a change of tone at a Tuesday press conference, he opened the door for talks with the GOP on other issues once the debt limit is raised and funds approved to end the partial federal government shutdown.
"Members of Congress, and the House Republicans in particular, don't get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs," Obama said.
Even with the fiery rhetoric, Obama, showed a bit more flexibility. The president said he would agree to a short-term measure on the debt ceiling and government funding if it buys time for lawmakers to agree to a bigger deal. The other notable shift is coming from Republicans, who are talking more about debt, deficit reduction and budget than defunding or delaying Obamacare, the president's signature health care law.
"And so if they want to do that, reopen the government, extend the debt ceiling. If they can't do it for a long time, do it for the period of time in which these negotiations are taking place," Obama said.
"And two of their very basic jobs are passing a budget and making sure that America's paying its bills. They don't also get to say, you know, unless you give me what the voters rejected in the last election, I'm going to cause a recession," Obama said.
The shutdown started Oct. 1 after House GOP leaders demanded derailing Obamacare as the price Democrats and the president had to pay to fully fund the federal government past the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year.
The press conference, Obama's first since Aug. 9 and in the White House briefing room, was added to his schedule in the morning after House Speaker John Boehner stepped up his demand that the president negotiate over the shutdown and the need for Congress to raise the debt limit by Oct. 17 or risk the first-ever default in U.S. history.
While GOP members have differences among themselves over Boehner's strategy to tie government funding to trying to kill off Obamacare — an effort doomed from the start — there is unity in wanting Obama to bargain.
"The end game is to negotiate," Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.) told me. "You can't get a deal if you are not willing to negotiate. Right now the President and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid have both said they will not negotiate. The American people do not accept that. With divided government, you have to negotiate to get a solution."
Once past the twin crises, "then serious negotiations could proceed around every item in the budget," Obama said. The Obama White House had been looking for a debt ceiling raised high enough to last about a year, but that may be politically unrealistic.
Against this backdrop, Obama continued to press for up-or-down votes in the House on the debt ceiling and funding, with no strings attached. Boehner is blocking those votes because the measures would pass — on the strength of Democratic votes — with the byproduct making it very difficult for Boehner to maintain credibility as a leader.
"The fact that right now there are votes, I believe, to go ahead and take this drama off the table should at least be tested. Speaker Boehner keeps on saying he doesn't have the votes for it, and what I've said is put it on the floor, see what happens. And at minimum, let every member of Congress be on record," Obama said.
On Tuesday morning, Obama phoned Boehner to outline what he essentially said at the opening of his press conference: no negotiations over the two main items, with the door open for other matters.
Boehner, speaking at his own press conference in the Capitol after Obama's presser, described the call as "a pleasant conversation, although I have to say I was disappointed that the president refuses to negotiate.
Asked if he would back what would amount to at the least a short-term, no-strings-attached deal, Boehner said, "What the president said today was if there is unconditional surrender by Republicans, he'll sit down and talk to us. That's not the way our government works."
The House, with GOP votes, passed a bill to create a bipartisan House-Senate "working group" to deal with fiscal issues — a proposal dead on arrival in the Senate and shrugged off by Obama as not a key element to any solution to the deadlock.
While there is a lot of focus on Oct. 17 as the next key deadline, Rep. Randy Hultgren (R-Ill.) told me that the next pressure point are the days before Oct. 15 — the next federal time "where checks normally would go out for people who work in government. And so we are going to do everything we can to encourage negotiation. "
Even if Obama engages in indirect negotiations with Republicans — that is, about deals to be cut after government fully reopens and the debt ceiling raised — Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) highlighted a more pressing problem for House and Senate GOP lawmakers: They don't have agreement yet between themselves over what their "ask" is.
"We need to have a negotiated position," McCain told reporters in the Capitol. "It's one thing to say we want to negotiate. It's something else to say, here's what we want."
The approaches of the two sides can be boiled down to their dueling Twitter hash tags: "LetsTalk" for the Republicans and "LetsVote" for the Democrats.

Sustainable development strategic outcome: Increased development, commercialization, adoption and diffusion of environmental, energy and bio-based technologies
Canada's economic performance is a key determinant in ensuring a sustainable future for Canadians. Technologies will help Canada address its long-standing productivity and business R&D investment challenges. They will also help deal with key environmental issues such as climate change, air and water pollution, waste, and contaminated sites.
Sustainable development can be advanced through the integration of innovative
technologies and strategic organizational changes. The development of innovative
technologies requires investment in fundamental research, development and commercialization.
Strategic organizational change refers to new business strategies and process-efficiency
tools that can help lessen the private sector's ecological footprint through
waste reduction and the more efficient use of materials, energy and labour.
New approaches in marketing, communications and management processes are key
contributors to firms' performance.
Canada needs a strong knowledge infrastructure to generate and apply scientific
and technical knowledge to a range of areas, such as hydrogen-powered fuel cell
technologies, renewable energy technologies (e.g., solar, wind and ocean), and
bio-based technology and process applications. Investing in the market development
and commercialization of these technologies will also be critical in creating
highly skilled jobs, and reducing GHG
emissions and other air- and land-based pollutants.
Over the next three years, Industry Canada will continue to work with its partners to strengthen Canada's knowledge infrastructure to improve its R&D performance and promote technology and commercialization in critical, sustainability-enhancing enabling technologies. Nine action plan items are intended to achieve this strategic outcome. Details on each are provided below.
Hydrogen Early Adopters (h2EA) Program
Hydrogen and hydrogen-compatible technologies continue to gain ground as viable alternatives to the internal combustion engine. Canada is a leader in the early development and commercialization of fuel cell technology in backup power modules, micro fuel cells for hand-held applications, and the automotive and utility vehicle market. The h2EA program fosters the development and early adoption of hydrogen, hydrogen-compatible technologies and bridging technology (integrating hydrogen fuel cells with established technologies such as the internal combustion engine) in the marketplace. The program supports demonstration projects, which enable clients to test and showcase their existing technologies in working integrated models to demonstrate new concepts such as "hydrogen highways" and "hydrogen villages."
Through March 2008, Industry Canada's h2EA program will help accelerate the development and adoption of hydrogen technologies in order to create highly skilled jobs, generate new growth and investment opportunities, and reduce air pollution and GHG emissions.
Action Plan Item
Supports Federal Sustainable Development Environmental Quality Goal: Reduce
Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Industry Canada, through its h2EA program, invests in new hydrogen technology demonstration projects that will bring Canada into the hydrogen economy. Responsibility: Technology Partnerships Canada (TPC) |
Expected Three-Year Results
Performance Indicators
Hydrogen Economy Supporting Industrial Development Industry Canada has supported a number of research and development and large-scale demonstration projects for hydrogen and fuel cell technologies under Technology Partnerships Canadas (TPC's) R&D program and the Hydrogen Early Adopters (h2EA) program, respectively. During SDS III, TPC invested approximately $35 million in support of the development of important niche applications that continue to build on Canada's technology leadership position. These are critical to the development of the technology advancements necessary for future applications. Funding also supported two of Canada's large-scale demonstration initiatives: British Columbia's Hydrogen Highway and Toronto's Hydrogen Village. These projects showcase market demonstrations in real-world settings and stimulate the creation of supporting infrastructure, codes and standards, and awareness-raising activities. Towards a National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Strategy Industry Canada, as co-chair of the federal Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Committee, has continued to work on the basis of the proposals outlined in Towards a National Hydrogen & Fuel Cell Strategy: A Discussion Document for Canada. Created in 2005, the document provides an initial examination of strategic opportunities for Canadian industry in global and domestic markets, and proposes possible actions and institutional arrangements that could enable Canada to capitalize on current and future market opportunities. This publication was used to engage hydrogen and fuel cell partners in industry, academia, and federal and provincial governments. It was an important tool in developing a Canadian vision, national targets and objectives for the Strategy. Links |
Program for Strategic Industrial Projects Reporting (PSIP)
Industry Canada's Program for Strategic Industrial Projects (PSIP), delivered through TPC, was established to provide a framework within which a variety of large strategic investment projects by firms in the automotive sector could be administered. It advances and supports industrial research, pre-competitive development, and technology adaptation and adoption projects designed to encourage private sector investments.
Typically, individual projects under the PSIP are funded by the government, in whole or in part from the fiscal framework. PSIP takes an investment approach and shares with its private sector partners in the risks and rewards. The program has nominal financial returns and economic benefits.
PSIP requires projects to contribute to the economic pillar of sustainable development, and encourages contributions to the environmental dimension of sustainable development.
Action Plan Item
Industry Canada, through PSIP,
enhances reporting of sustainable development benefits by including applicants'
contributions to the economic pillar of sustainable development in its
program eligibility criteria and reporting obligations. It also encourages
and reports any contributions to the environmental dimensions of sustainable
development. Responsibility: Technology Partnerships Canada |
Expected Three-Year Result
Performance Indicators
Industrial Development in Canada's Renewable Energy Sector
Considerable growth is projected for Canada's renewable energy sector, which presents opportunities for industrial development through technology commercialization, value chain management in the manufacturing sector and job creation. Expanding global markets are expected to generate further opportunity for Canadian companies and technology developers. By researching and promoting Canada's niche technological and manufacturing strengths, Canada will be better positioned to identify appropriate policy tools and approaches to create a domestic renewable energy industry in Canada. Investment and partnership activities will offer tangible benefits to Canadian companies interested in expanding their business nationally and internationally. By participating in demonstration projects, Industry Canada will be able to promote Canadian technologies, and identify and facilitate appropriate partnerships between the research and business communities. An industrial development strategy for renewable energy will help Canada capitalize on the economic development opportunities presented by this rapidly expanding sector, and ensure the long-term competitiveness of Canada's renewable energy industry.
Industry Canada will work to identify and promote opportunities for renewable energy industrial development. Research will be carried out to identify Canadian technological strengths, manufacturing capabilities, economic impacts and trends, and industrial development issues and opportunities. To promote renewable energy technology commercialization, the Department will engage in partnership demonstration projects in emerging renewables. Business partnership activities will be delivered to encourage domestic and international collaboration toward a stronger renewable energy sector in Canada. The Department's efforts will culminate in an industrial development strategy, which will address issues such as technology-to-markets programming, international partnership promotion and capacity building. The Strategy will help ensure the long-term sustainability of the renewable energy sector by investing in research and prototype testing, promoting domestic and international business partnerships along the value chain, and facilitating capacity building through training, education and certification programs.

It will be used on a range of measures including the creation of 1,700 waged employment opportunities for youths, temporary paid employment for around 1,100 over-50s, and the extension of a rates relief scheme for around 3,500 businesses in Northern Ireland.
Welcoming the plans, Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster said almost £6m will go towards tourism schemes to support an estimated 450 construction jobs.
"The initiative comprises a range of proposals including proposal to help smaller businesses gain increased and rapid support and a scheme aimed at encouraging employers to help people who are finding it difficult to get a job," explained the DUP minister.
"On the tourism front, an extra £5.7m will be used to develop tourism schemes including a range of capital projects which had not progressed because of budgetary constraints. The NI Tourist Board estimate that tourism capital projects will support over 450 construction jobs."
The new measures, which include support for more than 4,600 people through skills training and employability, are additional to the commitments in the Executive's Programme for Government and Economic Strategy.OFMDFM
The new measures, which include support for more than 4,600 people through skills training and employability, are additional to the commitments in the Executive's Programme for Government and Economic Strategy.
The waged employment opportunities for 1,700 young people will be of a minimum of six months duration and will be created within either the private, public or voluntary and community sectors.
Employers will also be encouraged to offer places for an additional 900 young people onto the Apprenticeships NI programme.
Additional help will be offered for older people out of work. More than 1,000 over-50s, who have been jobless for more than 12 months, will take up temporary paid employment of up to 26 weeks in the Community and Voluntary Sector.
Employment and Learning Minister Stephen Farry said the package will make a difference for some of the groups most in need of opportunities.
"The series of measures approved by the Executive will help tackle the issue of our young people and those over 50, who are unemployed and need skills experience to help them move into work," said Alliance minister Dr Farry.
"These measures will also ensure that skills development for economic growth is being supported at all levels through additional support for skills training at our FE Colleges and an increase in 500 higher education places and an additional 150 Phd places for priority skills areas for the NI economy."
Meanwhile business groups have also welcomed the plans, including the rates relief.
There will also be a new Invest NI 'Skills Growth' scheme for small businesses (up to 50 employees) providing 50% grant towards training costs, a freeze on car parking charges in towns and city centres until 2015, and a £40m boost for the construction sector.
Glyn Roberts of the NI Independent Retail Trade Association said: "NIIRTA welcomes this Economic Package and in particular the further extension of the Small Business Rate Relief Scheme and the freezing of Car Park Charges until 2015.
"We lobbied Ministers extensively for action on reducing business rates and addressing car park charges to support local traders and Town Centres and are very pleased that both feature prominently in this package.
"The new Invest NI Skills Growth and the Finance Voucher schemes to assist small businesses are positive developments to help our struggling small business sector.
"While this package is not a 'silver bullet' in addressing our huge economic challenges, it does include practical and imaginative solutions to assisting retailers and small businesses get through the worst of this recession and toward a sustainable recovery."
The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) welcomed the boost to construction as well as some of the other measures.
"We welcome the initiatives announced last night," said NI chairman Ian Coulter.
"In particular, the injection of over £100m into the construction sector this year and next, will hopefully help local construction companies, and support employment.
"Additional support for tourism development is welcomed, though we are surprised that the advertising budget has not been restored to enable the sector to promote itself more competitively with other UK regions, who have budgets that are much higher.
"Overall, the speed at which these initiatives were turned around following one meeting is encouraging. CBI would encourage these meetings becoming a regular occurrence, with monthly reviews tabled by the Executive."

Raleigh, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - Montreal Canadiens forward Max Pacioretty left Saturday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes with a lower-body injury after crashing into the goal post with 7:30 remaining in the first period.
Pacioretty skated to the net from the left side and was hit into the goal post by Carolina defenseman Brett Bellemore. He stayed down in pain for a few minutes and was eventually helped off the ice by a trainer. No penalty was called on the play.
The U.S. Olympian has 26 goals and 11 assists for the Canadiens this season and supplied a hat trick in a 5-2 win over Vancouver on Thursday.

Not so Thrilled
I'm glad I purchsed the Thrilita on sale as I would have returned it if I'd had to pay full price. The comfort is just not there. I was hoping that the sole of the shoe would have more give to it. I wear crocs because they are easy on my knees - this shoe? Not so much. Anyway, if anyone thinks that there is some type of cushion in the heel, or cushion in the sole they are very much mistaken.

Bought a new house without a washer and dryer, so need to make a decision on this in short order. And I've tried searching the forum, but can't quite find the information I need. So am curious what washer / dryer you would recommend for our family. Details / specs are as follows: -Family of 4 (2 small children) with frequent athletic activity, i.e. we generate a lot of laundry, though mostly easy-care items Thanks for your help! |
Follow-Up Postings:
When considering capacity, don't overlook cycle times. If a machine takes an hour and a half for a load, the number of loads you can run in an evening is limited. FL are generally quieter than TL while washing but the noise/vibration produced during the higher speed spin will depend greatly on your floor construction. |
Just ordered the Electrolux 60 FL in white. My local Lowes had a couple on clearance that when you added them to the cart were $796. Interestingly, different Lowes in my area had different IQ models on clearance. I did a price match with AJ Madison on the pedestal for 200. Has not come yet. I did not need a dryer so did not research those. My other choice was the Speed Queen TL. The drum looked small but ok and the salesman had one and swore he was able to wash comforters without it hurting the machine. Also, we live next to a Hurricane Sandy area (our area was fine) and he said that everyone that was replacing a SQ from the storm, replaced it with another SQ. However, when I told him I had a family of 7 and some of my needs including doing blankets and comforters a few times a week, even he thought I was better off with the Electorolux. For his daughter who has 3 kids, he thought originally an LG but at the last minute, he got her a SQ and could not be happier I am throwing out a broken GE Harmony TL bought 5.5 years ago (but given the size of our family that is not terrible |

Django Unchained
began the slow drip of promotional material last week with the release of
a first teaser poster
. Now Samuel L. Jackson has done his bit to promote the film by discussing what attracted him to the project, and how the film will cover a difficult period in American history.
"It's a Tarantino movie so there's no thought that goes into, 'am I gonna do it or not?'" says Jackson of his reaction to the opportunity. "It's kinda like, 'I'm doing that,' because I know it's going to be great."
Jackson plays Stephen, a house slave belonging to Leo DiCaprio's villainous plantation owner, Calvin Candie. "It's definitely an opportunity to explore a place in my history that I haven't thought about," says Jackson of the slavery theme, "and deal with it in an honest and very dramatic way."
"Quentin pays homage to a lot of different genres," says Jackson. "He would like to say this is a spaghetti western, and I guess in ways it is. And I guess when you start talking about
Farewell Uncle Tom
… all those things play in there too."
"But it's not like that's not something that's part of the fabric of this country, and it happened," he continues. "We'll deal with as honestly, and [
] as Tarantinoesque [
a fashion
] as we can."

Twilight Watch: A Conversation With Peter Facinelli
- Twilight
Peter Facinelli. Photograph by Giuliano Bekor.
Having featured the members of Twilight's Wolf Pack last week, VF.com is switching its allegiance to vampires. On a frigid day in New York City, I caught up with actor Peter Facinelli in between his "medical" commitments—he plays a human doctor on Showtime's Nurse Jackie and a bloodsucking one, the 400-year-old Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the Twilight saga—to discuss how New Moon differs from the first Twilight movie, his role as a father figure on and off the set, and what he really thinks of his fellow vampires.
As the patriarch of the Cullen clan, have you assumed a similar fatherly role with the cast?
You know, on Twilight I feel like they looked to me as the father figure, but because we became so close, I'm more of an older brother now.
Has there been a difference in the way you interact as a cast since you filmed Twilight?
Rob[ert Pattinson] has more security guards hanging around him! [Laughs] Other than that, not really. We really enjoy each other's company, and we've been working so much on this movie that we really haven't had as much time to hang out with each other. We're putting in these long hours and then just heading home. Usually we just try to catch dinner with each other then get back up the next morning and do it all over again.
What would you say is the one major thing that has changed about your life since starting the franchise?
I'm traveling a lot more than I used to and interacting with a lot more people. The fan base on this, I don't know how else to explain it … it's a cultural phenomenon. People will actually hop on a plane to see you. Sometimes I do these charity events, and people fly in to come and see me. I'm just really, really impressed with [the fan] dedication to these books and to the movies. I've always had a fan base with the work I've done, but never as rabid as this.
You seem pretty dedicated to them, too, judging by your Twitter page.
You know, I love connecting with the fans because I'm a fan of the books myself. They're all so dedicated and wonderful to me that I love to be able to give back. So if stopping for a picture or signing a book of theirs puts a smile on their face, then that makes me happy, too. I kind of go out of my way to make sure—if there are fans hanging around the set—to try to stop and say hello to them before I get in the van. It takes five minutes to make people happy. I love interacting with them.
You've been working steadily since your early twenties—the same age that some of the Twilight cast members are now. Have you been able to offer any advice to any of them, especially at a time when they've suddenly been thrust into the spotlight?
I've had some conversations with some of the cast about careers because I've been working for fifteen years. They're just starting out with their careers, and for a lot of them this is their first big break. I think they look to me and ask, How do you sustain that? It's still a mystery to me, too! I feel very lucky. For me it's about longevity and not about just one movie. It's got to be a scary time for them because this movie is giving them lots of opportunities. It's up to them to steer this journey into a career, and not just be part of Twilight and be gone. I look at them, and it's got to be pretty scary to have that much on their shoulders pretty quick, but I think they're really talented, really smart, and I think that they're going to be fine.
What has this done for your career?
I've done a lot of movies and different roles, and this is another role that I love to play. I look forward to continue doing a lot more. It's definitely broadened my fan base even with my own kids. For a long time, they didn't get to see any of the work I've done because of the mature content.
Have any of your daughters seen Twilight?
All three of them have seen it! They're ages twelve, six, and three. They love it. The 12-year-old has read the first two books, so she loves the movie. My 6-year-old loves it even more; she wants to watch it all the time! Now the 3-year-old, because the 6 year-old likes it, wants to watch it all the time, too. I asked her what she liked about it and she said, "I like the scary parts."
Have they met the cast? Did they get excited?
My kids are pretty unaffected. They don't get too star-struck. To them it's just "Dad's friends," which is kind of nice.
How does New Moon differ from Twilight?
You know, Twilight was an independent movie. It was shot very documentary style, the way Catherine [Hardwicke, Twilight's director] shoots. It has a rawness to it, which I think is nice. New Moon's a little bit crisper, it has a little bit more of a studio feel, but it still has that edge.
What's it like playing the same character for three different directors?
That gets interesting. It's exciting in one way because every director brings their own flavor to the movie. Each director's personality is different so you kind of have to adapt to their way of working, but I've had really good experiences on all three. Sometimes it's nice working with the same person over and over because there's a familiarity, but I'm used to working with different directors. On Nurse Jackie we get different directors on each episode. I like it because they bring different ideas and make you think of things you might not have thought of before—pushing you to look at it from different angles. I think it's harder on the directors to come in and try to make these movies as grand as Twilight was and take on the responsibility of getting the story accurate in terms of telling it from the book. Then they have a whole cast that they haven't dealt with before, so I think it would be more daunting for the director.
You have so many new cast members coming into it, too …
Our group is such a great bunch that we're all so welcoming. It's like broadening your family base. With open arms, we were there waiting. They came out to dinners with us and just became part of the family.
Speaking of family, will you please give me one word to describe each of the Cullen clan actors starting with Kellan Lutz?
Ok. [Laughs] Goofy!
Nikki Reed:
Jackson Rathbone:
Kristen Stewart:
Elizabeth Reaser:
Ashley Greene:
Pixie-ish, she's like a fairy—she's so light on her feet. Bubbly, that's the word.
Rob Pattinson:
Mmm, Rob. Rob's a good one. It's hard to narrow down to one. So many words come to mind! Brooding, tortured … but he's a good kid. What's the word for a solidly good guy?
Solid. He is. He's solid.
Finally, what your word of the day?

This event will begin at 6 p.m. with a reception hour, silent auction, hors d'oeuvres and an opportunity for networking and socializing. Following the reception hour dinner will be served and emcee Brenda Garton of Western New England College will present the "Best of Boston Road" awards. Winners are determined based on votes from fellow Boston Road businesses and customers. Voting was open to the public during the months of September and October. The votes have been tallied and one winner has been chosen in each of the following categories: Auto Dealership, Auto/Gas Service, Recreational/Fitness, Health/Dental Service, Professional Service, General Service, Food & Beverage Service, Restaurant, Retail Store, Banks/Credit Unions, the Best New Business of the Year and the Boston Road Business of the Year. "The winners are kept top secret until they are announced at the Gala," said Jillian Gould, co-chair of the BRBA. Gala tickets are available to the public. "We encourage you to be there to support this year's winners. They obviously gave a little something extra this year to their customers and community and it's a great opportunity to let them know we noticed," said Gould. The event includes a silent auction and is the main fundraiser for the Boston Road Business Association's holiday lighting program. Last year's event raised over $10,000, which helped defray the cost of illuminating Boston Road with festive lighting displays during the holiday season. Tickets are $50 each, or $400 for a table of eight, and are payable by cash, check, or charge card. For more information on this event, or to purchase tickets, please contact Jess Steinman at 543-8000 ext. 10, via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit www.bostonroad.org. |

Yum! not so tasty
February 5, 2013 in Uncategorized
"It has been a very tough quarter for Yum! Brands who saw fourth quarter earnings slip 5.3%. It dampened what was going to be a fantastic year for the company. Well it still was a very good year. Full year earnings grew 13%. But were it not for the government report in China which questioned the quality of their chicken, it would have been a lot stronger."
To market, to market to buy a fat pig. Global markets sold off yesterday, the bears finally had their day in the sun. Punxsutawney Phil over the weekend suggested that it wouldn't stay that cold for much longer. Perhaps that was enough to make the bears emerge from their hibernation. I suspect however that the root cause of the selling was actually not market related as such, but rather led to selling of Spanish bonds. And aggressively at that, the worst day since September last year. This does not look good for Spanish Prime Minister, from the FT: Rajoy storm blasts Spanish bonds. Pfff….. a slush fund, a politician, abuse of public funds, well I never! Sorry, I forgot to include sarcastic alert. Many in a position of power in public service have the inability to separate what is ours from mine. Public funds are not "mine" OK? Along with that, and Paul mentioned it yesterday was the news that Silvio Berlusconi's party is polling better. He invited everyone to his infamous shindigs suggested that austerity under him was bound to be a thing of the past. Sadly people respond a whole lot better to something that affects your back pocket rather than the long term reality.
So, weakening Spanish and Italian bonds, as well as the French finance minister suggesting that the Euro was too strong led to a pretty broad sell off in European markets. No, correction, a big sell off in European markets. I guess the short termers have had an itchy selling finger, looking for an event. France's CAC40 ended the session down three percent, Germany's DAX sold off two point five percent. Italian markets down 4 and a half percent and lastly Spain kicked in the chops too, down three and three quarters of a percent. Political shenanigans derailing a fragile European equity market recovery.
I took a medium term look at markets in Europe and the results were not that surprising. The healthiest market in Europe, the DAX is up around only 13.5 percent over the last five years. From the lows in March of 2009, it has doubled however, so sometimes it depends where you draw your line in the sand. The CAC40 in Paris is down nearly 24 percent over five years. The Spanish index has been hammered, the five year performance unfortunately points to a 38 percent fall from grace. But it gets worse. The Italian market is down a whopping 50 percent over the last 5 years. Err…. Forza Italia? So, as ever it depends what you look at and from where. If you have decided to be a European equity investor from the time that the ECB president, Mario Draghi brought out "the Mask" bazooka, markets have improved substantially. Six months ago. I guess that this is a series of speed bumps along the way in the great European integration project. The list of Europeans conflicts on Wiki is a long and sorry one, here is hoping that over time, because of economic ties the list becomes history.
Jozi, Jozi 26o 12′ 16″ S, 28o 2′ 44″ E At the beginning of the session we touched an all time high, but from there it was slip sliding away. For the reasons mentioned above of course, Spanish and Italian anxiety of a different kind. Which is much more difficult to predict, with uncertain outcomes post such an event having taken place. Our president suggested closure of mines in South Africa, Amplats specifically, that is tantamount to blackmail. I am not too sure what he means, but Amplats is not SAA. The taxpayer does not backstop Amplats. When the company is in financial trouble because of unprofitable mines, there are difficult decisions to be made, and unfortunately shareholders suck those up. Those shafts were sunk with shareholder funds. I can assure you that shareholders want those to work just as much as all stakeholders, if not more. For it is shareholders that entrusted the company with their savings to grow them, this is as big a disaster.
If shareholders decide that their capital is better allocated elsewhere, then I suspect there will be fewer projects going ahead. That is in fact already the case, Amplats have cut back their capex plans for the short and long term. This means fewer jobs, which means lower government revenues in the long run. If I were to force any business to continue to operate unprofitable shafts to benefit labourers at the expense of capital, that is not a sustainable model. What is the definition of a shareholder? "Shareholders are the owners of a company. They have the potential to profit if the company does well, but that comes with the potential to lose if the company does poorly." The balance of course for governments is to make companies profitable enough to contribute taxes to the government coffers, as well as provide gainful employment for folks in society. Who in turn are being taxed themselves.
Investopedia have a really good explanation of what it means to be a shareholder. "Shareholders' equity comes from two main sources. The first and original source is the money that was originally invested in the company, along with any additional investments made thereafter. The second comes from retained earnings which the company is able to accumulate over time through its operations. In most cases, the retained earnings portion is the largest component." Of course, the folks who originally invested in Anglo American, I doubt many of them would still be shareholders. The risks that shareholders assume are high, and if they are not willing to continue to commit their capital to a specific company then I suspect the selling will push the equity value lower over time. And investors will be fewer. This great anxiety of attracting outside investors when there are perfectly capable investors here at home perplexes me. This time last year, corporate cash deposits were sitting at a record. And we have multi decade low interest rates. In short, companies are and continue to be paralysed by mixed messages around investment in South Africa.
Let me challenge you a little. If your business is in the fortunate place of sitting on a whole lot of cash, that you are at a wits end of what to do with it, why are you not either expanding your business or hiring more staffers? What is the simple number one reason that you are doing nothing? Please write in and we can publish your comments either anonymously or if you want to include your name. Many thanks and be absolutely sure to include your suggestions to change these things.

W Stocks registered their worst session of the year so far, after having in recent days threatened to have got closer to the all time highs. The news again resurfaced around Dell going private, hey, whatever happens Dell has been an awful investment over the last one, five and ten years. In fact, the last good year for the stock was 1998 and 1999 which were heroic. And the price from the crazy NASDAQ highs is down nearly 75 percent. It depends for how long you have been holding the stock of course. If you have held it since they listed your gains have been enormous. Huge. Your return from the late eighties is, as per Google finance, 1206263.64 percent. In life, timing is almost everything. At these levels Dell trades on less than ten times historic earnings, perhaps the cheapest the stock has been since their listing around 25 years ago. Michael Dell himself has around 243 million shares of the 1.74 billion odd shares outstanding. The effective listing price (adjusting for all share splits) is 1 cent. He, Michael Dell that is, has definitely been winning.
- Byron beats the streets. It has been a very tough quarter for Yum! Brands who saw fourth quarter earnings slip 5.3%. It dampened what was going to be a fantastic year for the company. Well it still was a very good year. Full year earnings grew 13%. But were it not for the government report in China which questioned the quality of their chicken, it would have been a lot stronger. This announcement turned sales sharply in the last two weeks of December.
Earnings for the full year came in at $3.25. Management reckon that same store sales in China will drop as much as 25% in the first quarter of 2013. That means that earnings for 2013 could come in lower, around $3.10. Trading at $60.48 (down 5% from the announcement) the stock trades at around 20 times.
Most analysts feel this is a comfortable rating for a company like Yum! and when this China issues fades away earnings growth in 2014 will come off a lower base due to a once off. That is of course assuming the issue does go away. Our experience with this kind of news shows that these issues pass and the lure of KFC coming from the "trusted" Western World will prevail.
Because it is an important issue I will copy paste what Yum! had to say about the issue in the release.
"KFC sales in the last two weeks of the fourth quarter were significantly impacted by the intense media attention surrounding an investigation by the Shanghai FDA (SFDA) into poultry supply management at Yum! China. The investigation was prompted by a report broadcast on China's national television (CCTV), which aired on December 18, 2012. The report showed that a few poultry farmers were ignoring laws and regulations by using excessive levels of antibiotics in chicken. Regrettably, some of this product was purchased by two poultry suppliers of KFC China. The investigation caused further media attention, including social media commentary, and this negatively affected consumer perceptions of poultry safety, and KFC in particular.
On January 25, 2013, the SFDA concluded its investigation and released its recommendations. We appreciate their thorough and diligent review. The SFDA identified issues and provided "Supervisory Recommendations" to Yum! China to strengthen our poultry supply chain practices including refined voluntary self testing procedures, improved reporting and communications and enhanced supplier management. Our team in China has taken a comprehensive review of our current system and is in the process of incorporating all of the SFDA's recommendations. We have always recognized the importance of building a world-class supply chain in China, which is why we have implemented a wide range of quality assurance and testing practices over the years above legal and regulatory standards. The SFDA's recommendations will further strengthen those practices. The SFDA did not bring a case against Yum! China and no fine was assessed."
To put things into perspective of how important China is to Yum! let's look at some stats. China is responsible for nearly 50% of profits for the company (not sales, margins in China are better than most regions). Of the 1976 new stores opened last year, 889 were in China. It is a huge part of their growth strategy because its return per store in China is fantastic. It is why they have outperformed the likes of McDonalds but also creates a risk of being too exposed to one region, and that risk unfortunately has resulted in a big drop.
The share price has dropped dramatically. From $75 to $60 today. We feel the negativity is already priced in and probably oversold. We will add during this weakness.
Crow's nest. We are slightly flat here to begin with, can you believe it. A whole lot of European Services PMI numbers look like a solid beat to me this morning, but retail sales across the region look like a miss. There is a US services number later, that should be interesting!

I t took quite a bit of hobbling and maneuvering to get this pic.lol The winds are at about 65 miles per hour and I am hearing of lots of downed trees. Thank God mine are doing ok except for a few stragglers I left behind in the side driveway. Hoping everyone else is ok:-) It is raining like buckets of rain! Could anyone use some without this howling wind?

Hey, Andrew and Mike! Andrew, welcome back! Mike, I'm glad you and your trees survived! The variegate looks wonderful! Josh |

Thank Josh! Good to see you too! Yes. These are a couple of plants that fell quite a bit. It was a challenge keeping these up. The bears lime is a bit disappointing to me since it has not flowered nor produced fruit since I have had it. So I figured a little of abuse might wake it.lol Andrew: You are right! It is time to stay off it of it now and wait until the winds are over:-) Glad to see your weather is doing ok too:-) |
Sorry about the wind; I have been through 4 category 5 hurricanes in my life, starting with Camille... some would say that is just damned bad luck!! I was in Dominican Republic for David... blew ships inland, blew over cars and concrete walls; and blew the leaves off virtually every plant on the island!... Scaaaaaryyy! Those winds were more than 220 mph. Count your blessings Irene was only Cat 1. |

glad you're alright we could use that rain, we'll take the wind too. we're like 20 inches below normal rain fall this year. we're under extreme drought conditions, mandatory water restrictions, etc etc. for ppl that dont water their lawns, its dried and cracked, totally brown. saw on the news this past week, we have record numbers of foundation problems this summer. |
Mike I was thinking about you and our other east coast members over the weekend. Im glad you made it through ok. As bad as it sounds I wish we could get a tropical storm/hurricane up through Texas and then here. Of course not all the destruction and wind but the rain would be a blessing. mike |

Thanks so much Patty and Mike I have a lot of cleaning up to do but will take my time on one foot. I pray I can start walking very soon. The frogs have disappeared, my friends believe it or not and I hope they come back. Life in that pond was boring this morning.:-( Seems like my trees turned and extra shade of green in all this. Yes, maybe an extra boost of nitrogen and a drink of perfect pH water. The OLD,1800's hundreds covered bridge in Vermont my favorite place to visit every year, was take out by a rapid rise in water along with many homes:-( Guess what? That tree I hate so much lost a brach! Yes, about 2 feet long.lol I pray you folks get rain real soon:-) Thanks so much again friends! Mike |

Pulled Pork and Waffle Sliders with Maple Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
January 18, 2012
Things in Grilling.com nation are never boring, especially when you have VIP bloggers like Larry Gaian of TheBBQGrail.comdelivering such inspired dishes as these pulled pork and waffle sliders. Looks like I'll be cooking up another batch of pork shoulder reeeaal soon!
Writing a blog is a hoot!
Every once in a while someone on Twitter or Facebook will ask a question or post a comment and it triggers something in my brain. It's just something that happens. I'm minding my own business and all of a sudden I'm thinking about something different. A couple of days a go someone on Twitter sent out a tweet about pulled pork and a little while later there was a mention of waffles. It was lunch time here in Northern California and the Pulled Pork and Waffle Sliders just popped into my head.
But wait, there's more!
I mentioned the idea on Twitter and there were actually a few doubting Thomas'. Well, here's my answer to those that doubted The BBQ Grail! (You can't see it, but my tongue is firmly planted in my cheek)
Waffles are breakfast food. You might eat them for dinner, but more often than not when you do it's called Breakfast for Dinner. So the BBQ Sauce had to be sort of BBQ like. What goes with waffles? Maple syrup. So I had to have a maple flavor in the sauce. And it had to have a little kick!
Maple Chipotle BBQ Sauce Recipe
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1/2 cup onion, chopped as fine as you can get
- 3/4 cup Grade A Dark Amber "Real" Maple Syrup
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon Art of Chipotle Gourmet Paste
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently until combined. Cook for five minutes. Using an immersion blender or food processor puree until it reaches a smooth consistency. Let it cool a little and serve.
After making the waffles I let them cool, just a little, on a rack and then cut them into rounds. Pile the pulled pork on top and spoon the BBQ sauce over the top. The flavor was spot on. The waffles were a little wimpy in texture but the waffle flavor complimented the sauce and pulled pork perfectly. This might make a nice little breakfast treat the next time I need something special.

Crew was handed five skimpy files on a low-level defendant who, as Garrett reminded the judge on more than one occasion, had "never been in trouble with the law before." Like a lot of assertions Garrett made in court, that claim wasn't strictly true. He had no prior convictions, but his 1995 arrest for domestic violence would have been part of the official record available to prosecutor and judge. Yet that arrest was never mentioned in Crew's courtroom, and it seems unlikely that anyone noticed it, allowing Garrett to skate through the proceedings as if he was just one more first-time (albeit multiple) offender.
"Anytime you see that someone has a prior arrest, you can factor that in as an aggravator," says Assistant City Attorney Thomas, manager of the office's prosecutions unit. "Whether that was considered or not, I don't know. My general impression is that this was not the type of case that would be charged as a felony."
So rather than facing a felony beef in district court, Garrett was allowed to plead down his cases in front of Judge Crew. The arrangement wasn't an unusual one, says Project Safeguard's DeFreitas.
"A lot of women don't report everything to the police, so the only information the victim's advocate has is the information that's in the police reports," DeFreitas notes. "It's not uncommon to see this number of violations stay at a city level. Phone harassment is the hardest one to get a conviction, too. It's often a 'he said, she said' thing: Who dialed the phone? And getting the phone records isn't as easy as it looks on TV."
The prosecution's decision to pursue the case at the municipal level may have been routine, but what happened next was odd by anyone's standards. Noting the absence of a prior record, Crew asked Garrett what had gone wrong the past two months, how he'd ended up violating a court order five times. Garrett characterized the whole mess as a dispute over his "visitation rights" with Elonca and Mychel, saying he didn't know how he was supposed to pick up the girls on weekends without Chanda calling the law on him for violating the restraining order.
"We shouldn't even have got out of hand like that," Garrett said. "We ought to be -- we're going to be in each other's lives for the rest of our lives."
Crew discussed the visitation problem with Garrett sympathetically for several minutes, suggesting various ways to mediate the dispute. Temporary orders in the divorce case did allow Garrett limited visitation rights, but he'd failed to take required parenting classes or pay child support ordered in the case. (Permanent orders would soon bar Garrett from any unsupervised contact with the children until he'd completed classes and a substance-abuse evaluation.) And if the judge and the prosecutor had consulted a calendar, they would have seen that most of the restraining-order violations occurred on weekdays -- not, as Garrett claimed, during weekend visitations.
When it was her turn to speak, Chanda Johnson tried to explain as much, saying that the visitations were part of a "verbal agreement" between them, and that Garrett rarely showed up when he was supposed to take the kids, anyway. But both Crew and Garrett interrupted her repeatedly. Garrett insisted on his rights -- "It is a court order. It is a court order," he said -- while Crew seemed intent on arranging a visitation for Garrett before he went to jail on the restraining-order violations.
Johnson stood her ground. "Your honor, I have a question," she said. "He is a crack fiend. On drugs. I don't feel comfortable for my children to be out -- "
"I have already done my rehab," Garrett shot back, interrupting her again. "And what are you?"
Johnson stared him down. "A working mother," she said.
"Okay, that's enough, that's enough," Crew said.
Crew was far less tolerant of Johnson's interruptions than of Garrett's taunting of her. After the exchange over who sold whose Jeep, the judge cautioned her to be quiet. A few seconds later, as Garrett returned to the subject of his visitation rights, claiming that Johnson had pulled a gun on him on Elonca's birthday -- "I mean, I ain't afraid of no gun. I ain't no punk" -- she tried to respond and was ejected.
The rest of the hearing consisted of hammering out the terms of Garrett's plea deal. He had agreed to plead guilty to three counts of violating a court order in exchange for the dismissal of all other charges. The cases involved three separate periods of probation. On the first case, Garrett would receive a sentence of one year in jail, all but sixty days of it suspended, conditional on completing 36 weeks of domestic-violence classes. He would then be on probation for a year in each of the other two cases, with 180-day suspended jail sentences hanging over his head if he failed to comply.
Assistant City Attorney Chris Lujan, widely regarded as a tough and able prosecutor, noted that there was nothing in the record to suggest that the restraining-order violations had anything to do with a dispute over visitation rights. He requested that the probation terms be served consecutively, putting Garrett under the control of the court well into the year 2005.

New instructions added to LEGO Customer Services
Posted by Huwbot,A PDF of one new instruction manual has been added to the LEGO Customer Services Building Instructions site today.
See what's new on our new instructions page.

Strange, it's an "old" set. Wonder if they changed something... Would someone be willing to do a comparison ? :)
Um, no, not quite identical. This new one, another version of Book #1, has a little blanked-out space on one fo the pages. As well, there is no page number "84" on the final, 84th, page.
Only significant difference is Page 83, Step 53... there's a piece change! The mirror step in Book 2 is Page 15, Step 65... so expect to see that appear on the server within days.
My 9398 came with an Errata sheet, that's been included, and the updated cartoonised version of the "don't just tip everything out at once, build in Bag Sequence" page. Also, it's now more clear what size battery is required in the 6-cell pack.
I'm betting the piece change is required for the 41999 Co-Creation version... and they simply took the opportunity to make the needed changes to the manuals for 9398 when they were editing the layout for 41999
