Iggy Pop casts doubt on the future of The Stooges following Scott Asheton death
Iggy Pop has cast doubt on the future of The Stooges following the death of Scott Asheton aged 64 earlier this week.
Speaking to Rolling Stone about Asheton, Pop says that he "Can't see" the band playing in the future. I don't want to say that I'm done with the band," he says. "I would just say that I feel like the group has always included the Asheton brothers. When Ron passed away, Scott represented him. Nearly everything we play, Ron played on originally. I don't feel right now like there's any reason for me to go jumping out onstage in tight Levi's. What am I going to scream about?"
Continuing, Pop said that he has no plans to tour in any capacity for at least two years: "I just can't see the band playing in the near future. It would just be wrong. But if something comes up, you should be open to it. It depends on the feeling of the family and the surviving members. James Williamson was in the group and I've been there since it started. It would depend on the realities and the musical truth."
Asheton's bandmate and brother, guitarist Ron Asheton, passed away in 2009. The Asheton brothers founded The Stooges in Ann Arbor, Michigan in 1967 with bassist Dave Alexander and Iggy Pop.

RICS Deny Labour Claim They are Helping With Rent Caps Policy
Rent Caps "Were Not Part of Our Recommendations"
Labour's press release on their rent caps announcement this morning claimed that the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) was helping them draw up the policy. Labour said:
"The legislation would place an upper ceiling on any rent increases to prevent excessive rises. This would be based on a benchmark such as average market rents. The Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors is already examining what an appropriate benchmark might be."
Yet this seems to be the first RICS have heard of this. A spokesperson for RICS tells Guido that rent caps "were not part of our recommendations", that "we are not working on rent caps" and that they are not helping Labour come up with a rent cap "benchmark". Guido understands that RICS is "looking into" what happened and has contacted Labour to ask them why this was included in the press release. Oops…

There were multiple reports online today that the Montreal Canadiens were on the verge of hiring Bob Hartley to be their next head coach. Unfortunately for all of you who had designs on Bob Hartley desktop wallpapers in Montreal Canadiens colors, the deal isn't done and may not happen at all, per Darren Dreger who relayed the info in a radio interview.
Now, to be clear, this isn't to say that Hartley won't be the Habs coach in the future — it's entirely possible that he'll be on the podium come draft day. But, according to Dreger, it's not imminent and likely won't come within the week. On top of actually being hired by Montreal's newly constructed front office, the Habs will have to more than likely sort out an arrangement with his current employer, the ZSC Lions in Switzerland.
There are two other qualified candidates who have been in discussions to take over the job. Michel Therrien, most recently the head coach of the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Marc Crawford, most recently the head coach of the Dallas Stars, have both been linked to the head coaching job in Montreal. Both meet the unofficial criteria of being bilingual with prior employment history in the province of Quebec.
Many will remember that Therrien coached the Canadiens after Alain Vigneault was let go and that, as a prospective hire, doesn't sit well with me. I've never been a fan of teams recycling coaches (See: Maurice, Paul) and I don't plan on changing my mind for Michel Therrien.
As I see it, this decision is between Hartley and Crawford and I'll give the edge to Hartley, simply because he's currently in the coaching business and not in a press room. Analyzing games in a newsroom (cue writer jokes) is a far cry from coaching on a bench and I think Hartley is more equipped to lead the Habs going forward, even if it doesn't happen this week.
Who do you think should be their next bench boss?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Ezio!
Facts about Ezio
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Ezio's Info...
I am up to date with shots.
Ezio (white) and his brother Jinx have a special bond. They do everything together - play, eat and snuggle. Seeing them wrapped in each other's arms or one crying because they can't see the other will melt your heart. They have an enormous amount of affection and love for people as well and never met a lap they didn't like. They are the perfect kitten pair. 5 months old and already losing their home they are desperate to stay together. Please post and share so we can find them a forever (and together) home.
Other Pets at Infinite Hope
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Ezio, a Brooklyn Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Brooklyn, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Brooklyn.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Brooklyn already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Brooklyn breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Brooklyn paves the way for another one to be saved.

On Saturday night, "Irish" Andy Lee, returns DBE to the ring for the first time since his unsuccessful bid at claiming the WBC Middleweight Championship when he takes on Anthony Fitzgerald (13-3, 4KO's) at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The bout is scheduled for 10 rounds in the middleweight division and is promoted by Matchroom Sport in association with DiBella Entertainment.
Sporting an impressive 28-2, 20KO's, record and ranked #7 by the WBC and #9 by the WBA in the middleweight world ratings, Lee, the 2004 Irish Olympian, is looking to get back into the win column and make another run at capturing a piece of the middleweight crown. Lee is now training out of London with Adam Booth, who took over the reigns after the tragic death of Lee's longtime trainer and mentor Emanuel Steward.
"I'm ready to fight," said Lee. "My training has gone to plan. I'm really enjoying working with Adam. I am learning and improving with every training session. I'm very focused for this fight and expect a good performance.
"First and foremost, I want to thank my good friend Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport for allowing Andy to be on this card," said Lee's promoter Lou DiBella. "Andy is still one of the top middleweights in the world, and we expect a great performance out of him Saturday night."

248 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K160 KALIURANG, 20 September 1948
Further reports (still to be confirmed) from the Madiun indicate that early Saturday morning a force of approximately 2000 Pesindo (irregular socialist youth forces) took over key points of the town after disarming the police and army. A Soviet Republic was then proclaimed with Muso as president and Sjarifuddin as Prime Minister.
2. Madiun is in the strategic position to cut off Djokja from Republican East Java and the main routes to the Republic's two main south coast ports. There have been less important outbursts in other areas, the most serious of which has cut the railway between Surakarta and Purwodadi which cuts Republican communication with their only Northern port at Tuban.
3. There have also been 'reports' of a social revolution in Republican held Tapanuli (W. Sumatra) on September 10th when a communist-led people's army took up arms against the T.N.I. The rebels are assumed to be in control of the territory. Hatta confirms that there has been trouble in this area for which he blames Chinese communists brought to Sibolga from Malaya and the infiltration permitted by the Dutch of Chinese communists from Medan.
4. The Government has taken immediate and firm measures to put down communist uprising in Java.
a. Government forces are converging on the Madiun areas from three directions with a view to surrounding it and capturing the ringleaders. Troops are also being moved up to Madiun from Solo where the situation is considered to be well in hand.
b. Prominent members of the Indonesian Communist Party have been arrested. In Djokja about 200 people have been arrested including representatives of the party in the parliamentary working committee.
c. Beginning of the 19th September the Government has instituted a curfew in Djokja between the hours of 2200 and 0500.
d. All communications and vital industries in Republican Central Java have been placed under military control.
e. The parliamentary working committee by 25 votes to one has conferred on the President for a period of three months full emergency powers to deal with the situation.
f. Sukarno made a broadcast appeal to the people to assist the Government to smash all uprisings and help restore Madiun to lawful administration. Leaflets of his speech are being dropped in Madiun. Broadcast appeals to support the Government have been made by the C. in C. [1], the leader of the Masjumi [2] and the Sultan of Djokjakarta. [3]

Haggling in Bangkok
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who love to haggle and those who would rather be ripped off and saved the embarrassment of a little playful banter. For those who would rather not be taken for a ride on their trip to Bangkok, you'll be pleased to know haggling is expected and enjoyed by street vendors (the exception is food).
Markets are always the prime place to flex your haggling skills. Almost all vendors will immediately offer you a 'special price' the moment you show any kind of interest in the merchandise. Sorry to break the news, but unfortunately it wasn't your dazzling smile or charm that made the seller go soft and knock that 20 baht off. If you're interested in buying, you will probably have to be the one to instigate the haggling war, as few vendors will follow you down the street yelling lower and lower numbers at you. It does happen here, but not with nearly the same regularity you get in other countries in Southeast Asia, so be bold and name your price.
Most market vendors in the more touristy parts of the country (Bangkok, the islands, Chiang Mai and so on) will usually speak enough English to haggle with you – or they'll use a calculator to punch in their asking price before handing it to you to press in a more pocket-friendly price. However, if you want to show off your worldliness, ask 'Lot noi, dai mai?' (Can you discount?)
A good rule of thumb is to offer half of what the vendor is asking and take it from there. They'll laugh at you, then most likely offer you a few baht off the original price. At some point, you'll meet at a figure, or not, as the case may be. In the touristy areas of Khao San Road, Nana and Chatuchak in particular, you'll do well to haggle hard, as prices tend to be bumped up substantially in these spots.
There are a few occasions when there isn't a discount to be had. If there isn't, they'll make it clear it's a set price and generally stick to their guns though, if you're bulk-buying, they will probably make an exception. Locals and tourists tend to be offered the same price, though there are always some rogue vendors who'll try and sting you. Haggle hard to get the best deal you can.
As well as markets, Thailand has plenty of malls, which welcome a little bit of haggling when they are not set price (that is, no price tags are on the items — if there are price tags, the game's over). Those malls with booths, such as Terminal 21 and Platinum Mall, are prime haggling territory.
Don't forget you should also haggle with tuk tuk drivers before you agree to get in, as they often try and get away with hugely inflated prices. As with any un-metered transport, agree the price prior to travelling.
Whatever your precise haggling style, do remember that it's supposed to be an enjoyable experience, and you're expected to maintain a good humour about it all. It's better to walk away than to get angry; and do you really want to lose your cool over a dollar or two anyway?

Learn how you can save a life. Become an altruistic organ donor.
Plus, how do people qualify to donate? Our donor guide explains the process.
Visit the New England Organ Bank
Some donors may qualify for an alternate procedure, the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. This surgical approach takes approximately three to four hours.
The procedure
In order to perform a laparoscopic donor nephrectomy, 3 to 4 small incisions are made. The abdomen is inflated with a gas that allows movement and separation of the abdominal organs. Surgical instruments and a laparoscope are inserted through the small incisions, which allows the surgeon to maneuver around the organs and see and remove the kidney. The kidney is removed through a small incision above the pubic area.
The advantages of the laparoscopic technique are:
The complication rate has reportedly decreased over the past three years as transplant surgeons have gained more expertise with the laparoscopic procedure.
Donors who do not qualify for the laparoscopic procedure, will have the traditional, open surgery. The surgeon will be able to discuss surgical options in detail during the office visit. There are advantages and disadvantages to both procedures.

At least we are not having to water them right now.. The part he cut out is about 8' deep.. We got 1 3/4" of rain... Kylie |

Ah, and so it goes. Glad you got some rain even if it was not the most convenient time. |

Hey Kylie, Good for you. It's a start. |
You having them make the pond deeper? Or should I be calling that a lake? :) Glad you got the rain though, I know you guys down there needed it desperately. ~Tina |

It's raining here today! My co-worker & I were like little kids with our noses pressed to the window watching it. Every time we heard thunder we would giggle and get excited. |
El that was where they walked out to toss the pump.. Looks like they should have Skied.LOL .. They pumped water for 5 hrs yesterday so the Dozer Guy could go back to work.. It rained last night SOOOO Back to square one...LOL just got the power back on.. YIKES!!!! 0_0 Kylie |

I'm so glad Texas got some rain, it's been record dry there hasn't it? We had the same inconvenient timing for rain early in the summer, just after some concrete had been poured. Needs to be redone now. Sheesh. |
I'm glad you finally got some rain even if the timing was bad. Now I wish the freakin' sun would come out here. You should see the size of the mushrooms popping up everywhere. They are the size of dinner plates! |
- Posted by kasha77 7 (email@example.com) on Mon, Sep 19, 11 at 10:45
Mmmm Karyn- probably edibles. Wish I could be there to harvest them! ;) |
Hubby came in around 9:30 last night and ask me how I felt about Plan B! Which is to hold off on cleaning that one out and just build a new one about 2/3 the size of that one for about half the price.. By the time I got done saying HMMMMM.. He say good the Dozer guy will be here around 7:30 in the Morning.. LOL Kylie |
I saw on the pet channel just yesterday where a 4 week old puppy fell down a 6" wide ( at the top only) 24" deep crack in a back yard that was there strictly due to the drought in Texas. I should think that they would be happy for the rain in that neighbourhood at least. BTW, the puppy was rescued just fine. |
Diving board is good too, LOL! BTW, what are you guys doing to that piece of land that you are having it cleared up? Didn't know what Plan A was, and still in the dark about what Plan B is for, :-)! |

28" below normal here! We didn't even get any tropical weather this year. Don't eat those mushrooms! As a rule the ones that pop up in the yard after rain will not kill you but give you a heck of a bellyache, vomiting, diarrhea. Tally HO! |
The new Tank is in and there is storm moving in.. I will post a pic later I am having trouble with PB.. Kylie |

beach plant- you're right- never eat any mushrooms that grow outdoors- unless you know how to correctly identify them.It takes a great field guide, learning all of the particular mushrooms'characteristics, and examining spore prints for correct id. My daughter and I used to ride around the neighborhood back in NY on our bikes after a rain and fill 4 wal mart bags on our handle bars of wonderful meadow mushrooms- cousins to the common white mushroom and portobellas. They are huge- just like portobellos, but taste even better because they are so fresh! They are all in the same family of Agaricus. I sure miss them and would love to find them here in NC! |

One group, however, had no real cause for alarm: the elite clique of lawyers who do DIA bond work. In fact, the attorneys had reason to celebrate. Despite S&P's decision, Denver Revenue Manager Patricia Schwartzberg said the city intends to forge ahead with plans to refinance millions of dollars' worth of airport bonds this summer. The lawyers slated to work on the reissue stand to reap tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of dollars in new fees.
Though a pittance compared with the billions spent on the new airport, the legal costs of DIA bond issues over the last four years have already reached staggering heights. Six different law firms--at any one time--have been engaged on most of the thirteen new issues and remarketings of DIA bonds since May 1990. The legal bill thus far: well over $4 million.
No taxpayer money has been used to pay the firms; their fees come entirely out of the bond debt itself. But some critics argue that, no matter what the source, bond fees for large-scale projects like DIA tend to be much higher than they need to be. The attorneys hired to churn out legal documents on bond issues "don't do anything," says Wayne Marr, a finance professor at South Carolina's Clemson University. "[Their work] is basically legal window-dressing."
The situation in Denver is further complicated by the fact that all six firms currently doing DIA bond work have contributed money to Webb's election fund--and that three enjoy especially close political ties to the mayor. Partners in two of the firms have had serious legal troubles--one for misusing trust-fund money, the other for nonpayment of taxes and the use of marijuana and cocaine.
Airport bond work is "a gravy train for the mayor's buddies," says Michael Boyd, a Golden airport consultant and a virulent DIA critic. But attorneys who work in the field insist that bond work is difficult and painstaking--and worth every penny. They say firms take huge risks every time they take on a municipal securities job, since mistakes can lead to crippling lawsuits by investors. Reducing the firm's risk requires hundreds of hours of meticulous work and fact-checking, as well as the payment of huge malpractice premiums. That can drive legal fees sky high.
"The risk of potential liability is enormous in this kind of work," says Andrew Kintzinger, a Minneapolis attorney and president-elect of the National Association of Bond Lawyers. "Any law firm engaged in the offer and sale of securities pays significantly more in malpractice insurance premiums."
John Yeoman, a professor of finance at North Georgia College, agrees. The "vast majority" of the fees bond lawyers charge, Yeoman says, go toward protecting themselves against lawsuits that may be filed if an issue goes awry. "They're putting their houses on the line," he adds.
But Clemson's Wayne Marr, a former senior economist with the federal Securities and Exchange Commission, is unmoved by these arguments. "It's easy work," he maintains, "if you can get it."
American cities float bonds all the time to pay for baseball parks, road viaducts, sewers and other large capital improvement projects. The cities hire investment banks to underwrite the bonds; the banks in turn sell the bonds to investors, who are repaid with interest, usually over thirty years. The process makes good sense: Bond debt gives local governments a way to fund projects that would be unaffordable using cash on hand.
But it's very expensive. Every time bonds are floated, cities are required to pay out tens of thousands of dollars in "issuance costs"--the fees and commissions for professionals who put together and manage the deal. Each investment bank involved gets a cut. Financial advisors get hired at top rates. And, of course, there are law firms galore.
DIA has been no exception. When the first $700 million in construction bonds were issued in May 1990, issuance costs ran to $7.4 million, more than 1 percent of the total. A phalanx of fifteen investment banks collected $6.1 million in fees and commissions. Financial advisor Smith Barney Harris & Upham got $300,000. The law firms: almost $950,000.
And though just three types of lawyers are required for each airport issue--"bond counsel," "disclosure counsel" and "underwriters' counsel"-- Denver has almost always divvied up the work further to guarantee that local firms get a piece of the pie. The city's "tag-team" approach pairs large, nationally recognized firms with small but politically connected local ones. Thus Hogan & Hartson of Washington, D.C., with 400 lawyers worldwide, has joined with Denver's miniscule Trimble & Nulan; Chicago's Hopkins & Sutter with Denver's Becker, Stowe, Bowles & Lynch; and Philadelphia's Ballard, Spahr, Andrews & Ingersoll with the 18th Street firm of Bookhardt & O'Toole. All the firms, whose attorneys charge anywhere between $95 and $320 an hour, have been hired under no-bid "professional service" contracts, which don't require approval by the Denver City Council.

Local Boy Defends Pope, Remains Elusive
Posted By Kate Scarlett Mitchell On Apr 26, 2010 @ 10:48 pm In News | Comments Disabled
Armed with fluency in Italian and an oddball passion for "sovereign immunity law," Berkeleyite Jeffrey Lena has fast become the Vatican's legal poster boy [1]. Lena will soon [2] defend Benedict XVI's honor before the Supreme Court as the Holy See continues to be slammed by law suits: sex, copyright and Nazi sympathizer scandals aplenty.
While the exact location of his Berkeley firm remains under wraps, keep your eyes peeled for a man in a funny hat saying Hail Marys in the Gourmet Ghetto. Ten bucks says he's got his Prius pimped out with a Sistine Chapel mural.

Shaw: The letters M and B: Illinois' finances a Messy Business
By Andy Shaw Better Government email@example.com December 11, 2012 9:04PM
Andy Shaw is president and chief executive officer of the Better Government Association.
Updated: January 13, 2013 11:11AM
If Big Bird and "Sesame Street" are important enough for a presidential debate, their muse is certainly worth poaching for today's column, which is being brought to you initially by the letters M and B.
First the M. As in Mike Madigan. Map. Money. Message. Majority. And, yes, Mess.
House Speaker Madigan (D-Chicago) picked up seven new seats on Election Day and begins the next session of the General Assembly in January with a veto-proof Majority.
How did he do it? By drawing a legislative Map with new districts that favored his Democratic candidates, raising enough Money to gain an edge in the contested races and crafting strong enough Messages to one-up the opposing candidates.
But those victories also mean that Madigan's Majority, and Senate President John Cullerton's equally powerful bloc, now own the last M — the Mess in Springfield — which is brought to you by the letter B, as in Busted Budget. Bales of Bills. And Bureaucratic Bloat.
Remember that Madigan, Cullerton (D-Chicago) and Gov. Pat Quinn raised the state income tax from 3 percent to 5 percent two years ago. It was supposed to start paying the overdue bills, balancing the budget and drawing down the state's huge pension debt.
But the extra billions in tax revenue has been little more than a bandage on a gaping wound, and the situation today is even worse.
The budget is too busted to keep up with a burgeoning bale of unpaid bills that now tops $8 billion.
And the bureaucratic bloat? Despite downsizing pledges and efficiency studies, lawmakers haven't done anything about the state's 7,000-plus units of government — easily the most of any state in the country and all of them separate taxing bodies — or the more than 300 state boards and commissions or the nearly 300 one-school school districts.
Duplication plus replication equals abomination. That's Sloth 101 in the School of Springfield Slackers — brought to you by the letter S.
As for the deepening pension debacle? The state's five major public employee retirement funds are underfunded by roughly $95 billion, and that number goes up every day that a pension reform plan is delayed.
Put it all together and you have the worst fiscal mess of any state, according to a recent 50-state report by a team of distinguished financial experts.
But the Land of Lincoln is top tier in one way — our lawmakers are among the best compensated in the country. The average House salary is $76,296 and senators average $79,652. Their health and pension benefits are generous, the jobs part-time.
So let's get this straight. Madigan and Cullerton, the legislative leaders who've presided for years over a deepening crisis and raised our taxes without solving the problems, get rewarded with generous pay and bennies.
And we send them back to Springfield with even more power.
Are Illinois voters crazy, misinformed, easily manipulated or apathetic or all of the above?
Perhaps, but this is the holiday season, so let's try not to despair. And since January begins a new year and a new General Assembly, let's summon up a smidgen of optimism.
In deference to Big Bird, a truly benign character, this final sentence is brought to you by the letter H. For Hope.

favorite in the dry area wildseed mix
By Karen
from Cheyenne, Wyoming
Best Uses
Comments about American Meadows None so Pretty or Catchfly Seeds:
I planted half the dry area seed mix last spring and the last half last fall. This spring and summer I have the most vivid color with these little beauties. I am also quite pleased with the Siberian Wall flowers, mini snapdragons and blanket flowers in this mix. I will be ordering these all individually. These are my favorite.
Few of these bloomed
By Drake
from Princeton, NJ
About Me Avid Gardener
Saw one or two blooms from these. I cleared an area of our land in Princeton, NJ to plant a broad mix of wildflower seeds from American Meadows: Cosmos Dwarf Mix plus nearly all the varieties carried by American Meadows that were said to grow well in part-sun. Of all these, only Cosmos Dwarf Mix and Sulphur cosmos dwarf lemon thrived. The area previously had heavy tree cover though now is half-sun, clay ground, fairly wet. The few poppies that bloomed were so beautiful, I'll try those again next year as well.

This week we have Frank Francisco being ballsy, Johnny Damon apparently being a boss and Joe Maddon being the best.
Hopefully this week I can gush about a manager that isn't an alleged homphobe. (Thanks for ruining my optimism, Parkes.)
If you don't like it, pitch better
Jeff Francis' reaction to the Rockies shuffling their rotation is pretty awesome. And if anyone knows about rotation shuffling, it's Jeff Francis.
It's becoming to be the [expletive] hole it used to be. Look around. Playing here used to be so much fun. Now, every day is something new — not related to baseball. [Reporters] need to leave us alone, play ball and do what we know how to do.
David Ortiz has shown the true power of winning – it has the ability to make Boston not seem like a shithole.
I can't wait to face those chickens. I want to strike out the side against them. I've done it before.
I'm all for talking shit about the Yankees. Or to the Yankees. Or about Yankees fans but…Frank Francisco? I mean, I was a fan of his before and this makes it really hard not to be a fan of his now and, really, you've got to admire the balls on the guy. But…Frank Francisco?
Canseco is the only guy that has come clean. Like him or not, he's telling the truth. These guys lie, lie, lie, lie, lie. Roger, I think is in the same boat.
I never thought I'd get a chance to say this: Goose Gossage and I are totally on the same page. Dreams. Fulfilled.
Although he looks a bit like Hugh Hefner – minus any playmates – as he walks to his locker, Damon exudes an unmistakable aura, one that demands respect and attention.
Seriously, would anyone have expected this to be a description of Johnny Damon 8 years ago? Not his clubhouse presence, that I get, it's the Hugh Hefner thing I can't get past. Though I do love that it has to be pointed out that he doesn't have any playmates.
"You just have to take a deep breath. It's something you can easily get excited about and try to do a little too much. It's something where, you've been here before, just get up there, see some pitches and put a good swing on it.
I mean, I guess if Jeff Frye can hit for the cycle, anyone can do it. But, seriously, if I had to pick any former Jay that I'd like to see hit for the cycle, Aaron Hill would be very close to the top of that list. Good on him.
I totally understand that. Davey's right. I'm incapable of reading the rulebook, and there's also reading between the lines in some situations that needs to be looked at, too. He's been around long enough; he knows better than that.
It was damn near impossible for me to pick just one quote from this article, there are so, so many awesome ones. You should check it out. Point is, Joe Maddon has officially entered the Getting Quoted Quote Pantheon (which I just made up). I'm surprised it took him this long (but that's probably on me).
But the Rays would like you to buy into a fictional past for just a day, as they roll out throwback uniforms on June 30 to an era in which the team didn't actually exist.
See what I mean? The Rays are really doing everything they can to prove that they're the best organization in baseball and I find it hard to believe Joe Maddon didn't have something to do with this. He's the best. Also, that picture, you guys! I'm almost entirely convinced that Joe Maddon is actually Craig Finn from the future.

Aircraft battle damage repair (ABDR) is the "quick fix and get it in the air again" brand of aircraft repair. Since the Air Force has been working on this program for over a decade, it has progressed beyond "chewing-gum-and-bailing-wire" fixes.
In Viet Nam, many F-4s damaged in battle (the ones that made it back to base and landed) were fixed quickly, with nonstandard fixes. These were studied, and a program was begun to standardize such quick fixes. Combat Logistics Support Squadrons (CLSSs) were tasked with the job of learning to deal with repairing aircraft in, shall we say, less than ideal situations--while wearing chemical warfare gear and gas masks, out in the field where there's not a lot of materiel support, and perhaps under fire!
Over the years, the Air Force developed Technical Orders (TOs) to describe nonstandard quick repairs that could be made on the aircraft. But in the earlier days of the program, the sky was the limit! I once (in a practice session) spliced a wire and shielded it with a foil gum wrapper--and since the shielding conducted current as it should, it was declared a good repair. I don't know how it would have held in a plane flying a combat mission, though.
Nowadays, the program trains maintenance technicians to read the specialized ABDR TOs and assessors to look at the damage, figure out if the damage can be repaired in a specified time period, decide what materials need to be used in the repair, and write instructions for the technicians, telling them exactly how to make the repair. I teach ABDR assessor classes, and our instructors have come up with some fiendish damages (on aircraft hulks) for the practice sessions. We started out using wire cutters and sledge hammers, and are now using shaped charges and rifle bullets to cause the damage--more realism. It's incredible how far and wide shrapnel can travel!

Breakfast Topic: WoW Background Music {WoW}
Aug 17th 2006 5:12PM I think some of the WoW music is dead on and enjoyable but its so repeativie that it gets lame. Years back I used to make cd's for listening to when I played EQ with my friends. I recorded a podcast about those tracks, where i got them, how the music triggered different ideas in my head and so forth. One hilarious note is that I renamed all the tracks after the moments in game I shared with friends. Anyways, I recently put this podcast together thinking about WoW music and overall just game music in general.. take a listen..
Theres a mix of tunes in there, ambient, anime soundtracks (worked in anime at the time) and even some WoW in the background at times...

Just bought a house in Vegas and the panel is mounted outside for easy access by anyone including thieves who could shut down all my security (motion detector lights, cameras, home automation, etc.) with the flip of a switch. The only way to lock it is with something the size of a paper clip in the tiny hole at the bottom. I already had someone trying to get into my garage at 5am using the coat hanger trick to snag the emergency release on the automatic garage door opener. I already knew about this ahead of time and had secured it with a wire tie. Google it if you need to know how to secure your garage. None of my neighbors even knew how easy it is for the bad guys to get in like this.
I've never seen a breaker panel on the outside of a house where I'm from (Louisiana). Whenever the authorities need to cut the power they just pull the meters out like they did after Katrina to prevent backfeeding of generators into the power lines they were working on. At a time when crime has increased because of sky-high unemployment and foreclosures, (I had no idea "Cops" was filmed in Vegas) I need a solution to this. Am I allowed to add some kind of locking mechanism to the panel and if so, what would be the best way to do it? I can only imagine how expensive it would be to relocate the panel inside where it should be, although basically it would just require flipping it around to face the inside of the same garage wall. |

It's an entirely regional thing. Some places (typically the desert or semi-arid parts of the west) do it. Others don't. My alarm system relies neither on power NOR telephone lines. It's got a battery backup and uses a cellular link to the monitoring company. You can lock your panel. The power company if they want to cut you off will pull the meter. The fire department will either pull the meter or cut your lock. |

In my area, certain repairs/renovations require that existing houses be brought completely up to current code. In instances where the existing electrical panel is in a location with inadequate (per code) working room, the solution may be to move all the circuits to a new panel. Often that location is outside. I share the concerns of the original post. A knowledgeable ruffian could also remove the meter. A good welding shop can fabricate additional security bars to protect your panel. All that is required is to make it more difficult to get into the panel than into the house. I put the ties on my garage doors. Then those posed a problem for me during a power outage. Possibly a problem in case of fire. My garage ceilings are almost 10 feet tall. A ladder and cutting tool should be kept at hand in such instances. |

Here in Dallas it is very common to have outdoor main panels although we place it in the garage if possible. When we do service upgrades we have moved panels from closets, bedrooms, kitchens, you name it. Modern panels are easily padlocked. If you are conserned about access to your panel, have lugs welded to it so you can padlock it. |
"Possibly a problem in case of fire. My garage ceilings are almost 10 feet tall. A ladder and cutting tool should be kept at hand in such instances. " The panel cannot be high enough to require a ladder. In may areas meters are still pulled by either the POCO or the FD for major structure fires. It WILL be pulled if the place is no longer habitable as a safety issue after the fire (damaged wiring can be a secondary source of ignition, even after a fire is 'cold'). Without the correct gear, pulling a meter that is carrying a load MAY be hazardous. Arc flashes are NOT to be trivialized and can result in significant injury if the correct gear is not used. The current available from the POCO lines is VERY large (many tens of thousands of amps is routine). Some FDs have gotten co scarred that instead of having the safety gear needed & learning how to pull meters they just wait for the POCO to arrive, or risk fighting a fire in a structure with energized wiring. The gear is not all that much worse (or complicated) than regular turn out gear. The voltage available on a residence is normally only 120 V to ground. |

Repeating myself for those who skimmed over the post. "I put the ties on my garage doors. Then those posed a problem for me during a power outage. Possibly a problem in case of fire. My garage ceilings are almost 10 feet tall. A ladder and cutting tool should be kept at hand in such instances." GARAGE DOORS!! The original post mentions those. |

Get a better quality opener. Some are available with battery backup. I defy someone to release the door on my jackscrew opener with a coat hangar. A couple (actually at least three in most cases) pieces of sheet rock aren't a whole lot easier to compromise than many other doors, walls, or windows in most construction. |
In my part of Louisiana almost all of the main panels are on the outside. |

Here in Northern California, I have never owned a home, or recall seeing one, that didn't have an outdoor panel. Now though, I'm thankful since our current home still has a Zinsco panel! Yikes!! |

When I lived in NZ and Australia, the fuse boxes/breaker panels were commonly on the outside of the house. They had hasps for padlocks, but you had to buy them from the POCO. If there's a fire in the panel, at least it's outside? Not sure where the practice originated in that instance. Britain? |
"If there's a fire in the panel, at least it's outside?" With the amount of power available from the POCO feed, having the box outside is not going to provide significant protection. There is more that enough current available to blow holes through the walls of the box as if nothing much was there. |

The various posts indicate significant regional differences. In most instances in my area, only the meter is on the exterior. In my opinion, that offers the better exterior appearance. While vandals can attack meters, it is rare as far as my experience goes. I saw one meter that had been smashed by a person who was not served by the electrical service in question. Not wanting to offer advice to potential vandals, the outside panel offers all sorts of opportunities to the imaginative. So I avoid installing those if practical alternatives are available. |
Indoor panels have a much longer lifetime in most climates. Most of the ones I have seen look pristine. I think the ideal might be a small main panel at the meter pan with one or more sub panels inside the house. "There is more that enough current available to blow holes through the walls of the box as if nothing much was there." If the panel is mounted on the exterior of a masonry wall, it seems like there would be less damage to the structure than if mounted near softer, flammable material indoors or out. |
Even a typical residential masonry veneer wall (one wythe thick) is not going to stand up to a full blown arc flash well. And frame houses remain a lot more common than even brick veneer, let alone actual masonry. |
In that case, it is a good thing that we don't see full-blown arc flashes very much outside of youtube. |
"I put the ties on my garage doors. Then those posed a problem for me during a power outage. Possibly a problem in case of fire. My garage ceilings are almost 10 feet tall. A ladder and cutting tool should be kept at hand in such instances." Most people keep their tools in the garage so having a pair of cutters close by is not a problem. Just make sure family members know what to do. I can easily reach the wire tie on mine. Of course, having tools in the garage also works out well for the bad guys once they get in there. Makes it so much easier for them to get into the rest of the house. Adds insult to injury for the homeowners. Upon closer examination I'm starting to see that moving the panel to the inside of the garage wall would be easy. All the wiring enters from the top through one conduit within the wall, so in theory it could be rotated around to face the inside wall and remounted without even having to rewire it (after cutting the power of course). I still need to check with some electricians and see about permits and follow-up inspections, plus how to re-stucco the outside wall. |

If you decide to put a lock on the panel, even temporarily, see if your local police/fire departments offers a residential lockbox program. They're usually intended for senior citizens who live alone (to expedite entry into a house in case of suspected medical emergency without having to break down a door). That might allow you to lock the box but also allow first responders easy access to cut service in case of emergency. |

This probably wasn't the best year to start growing tomatoes, but my tomatoes are finally setting fruit. Here are my pictures:
Cherokee Purple full of flowers on July 1st (4" start transplanted under hoops on May 21st):
First Sungold with 3 fruit set on July 1st (grown from seed at the end of March and transplanted under hoops on May 21st):
First Sungold with 9 fruit set on July 8th:
Second Sungold with 6 fruit set on July 8th (grown from seed at the end of March and transplanted under hoops on May 24th):
Black Prince with 4 fruit set, the largest is about 1.5" in diameter on July 8th (4" start transplanted under hoops on May 24th):
Black Krim full of flowers, including a megabloom, on July 1st (grown from seed at the end of March and transplanted under hoops on May 21st):

No pictures on-hand, but my tomatoes are at pretty similar states, up here in Bellingham. Sun Gold started fruiting a bit before yours, but nothing else is looking particularly good so far. I'm at about the same point I was last year at this time, but with thirteen tomato plants -- I figure I'll harvest enough to last me well into fall, but not nearly enough to do the canning I'd hoped to do. Next year, though! Shouldn't be another La Nina this winter, so next year will, I hope, be better. Bad long-term tomato news: Most atmospheric scientists in the region accept the idea of Pacific Decadal Oscillation, which is a fancy way of saying "we have 20-30 year climate swings," and we're currently headed out of a warm stretch and into a cold stretch -- a 20-year cold stretch. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wikipedia - Pacific Decadal Oscillation
Mine are at about the same state unless we get a late summer I don,t expect much ripe fruit from them again this year. Oh well, green tomatos are yummy cooked. |

Here are updated photos of my tomatoes. Cherokee Purple with fruit on July 23rd, the largest on the right is about 2" in diameter Cherokee Purple fruit from a different angle on July 23rd First Sungold now with two trusses full of fruit on July 23rd The lower truss on the second Sungold, which also has two trusses on July 23rd Four largest tomatoes on Black Prince, with the largest about 3" in diameter A few fruits set on the first Black Krim on July 23rd Even more fruits set on the second Black Krim on July 23rd The megabloom on the first Black Krim has become a long fused fruit. Fruits set by July 23rd on a Jaune Flammeé, a Mighty 'Mato grafted plant that was transplanted from a 1 gal container on July 10th More fruits by July 23rd on the Jaune Flammeé Since this is my first year growing tomatoes, I don't know how much better the plants would be doing if we'd had a warmer spring and a hotter summer. My friends who've grown tomatoes in the past are really depressed by the cool weather and their poor yields so far this year. |
Your tomatoes are definitely better than mine at this point. I'll get out and get some pictures in the near future, but I've got very little in the way of fruit. One of my Principe Borghese plants -- curiously, the one which I damaged by letting it grow too close to my grow lights this spring -- has set several fruits, but they aren't really getting any bigger. Sungold still only has one truss of fruit. Got a couple other assorted fruits, but half my plants haven't set a single fruit. Oh well. My peas are producing way longer than they should -- even my Schweizer Riesen, which are not enation-resistant, are continuing to produce wonderfully -- and my cabbage is happy, so at least I've got something going. |

Right now I've got over 200 fruit set combined on all 9 plants. There are about 30 tomatoes that are 1" in diameter (or just a bit smaller) on the four Sun Gold plants, a 3" on a Black Prince, and 2.5" on a Cherokee Purple. These two largest tomatoes seem to be growing about an inch per week. I also have about 30 tomatoes that are 1-2" in diameter on the Black Prince, Cherokee Purple, two Black Krims, and the Jaune Flamme. Even given our cooler, wetter weather this past week, almost all of the tomatoes seem to grow 1/2" to an inch per week. So far I've only noticed minor splitting (less than 1/4" long) on one of the larger tomatoes on the Cherokee Purple and on one of the smaller Black Krim tomatoes. There are also two fused or unusually long fruits on the Cherokee Purple and the weird fused fruit from the megabloom on the Black Krim. jwestbury, when did you transplant your Sun Gold? When do you think you'll get ripe fruit from it? I think several of mine are full size, but I'm wondering when they'll start to blush, not to mention ripen. |
I didn't actually note down the date when I transplanted any of the fruits -- this year being so anomalous, I didn't figure the data would do me much good -- but the Sun Gold was one of three plants I purchased from a garden store, and I believe I transplanted it in the first week of June. (Three of my thirteen plants are garden store transplants.) Based on what I'm seeing, I think I'll be seeing my first ripe fruit in the next week or two. One of the first fruits from the Sun Gold is starting to yellow a bit. No splits yet, so that's good. Anyway, got some pictures of the tomatoes last week. These are from 7/26. The cherries are Koralik and Sun Gold. The small sauce tomatoes are all Principe Borghese. The larger ones are Oregon Spring, Black from Tula, and Tobolsk. Since taking these, I've found some more fruit on other plants -- at least one fruit on at least one of each variety. (I think I've only doubled up on Principe Borghese and Legend. I meant to have more plants than this, but had some issues with Peche Jaune, Isis, and Cream Sausage.) |
i've been harvesting one or two sun golds a day for the last week or so. put them in mid june, from gallon containers. these are the fruit that had already set when i purchased the plants, the second wave is still probably at least a week or two off. |

Wow, your plants look great! I pruned mine to a single stem since I was paranoid about diseases. I probably ended up sacrificing a lot of fruit because of it, so next year I'll let 3-4 main stems grow. I finally got fruit blushing on two of my Sun Golds in the last week. This Sun Gold now has five trusses with 83 tomatoes, and 50 of them are 3/4"-1+" in diameter. It also has several more trusses with flowers. |
I pruned my indeterminates (the ones to the left of the cardboard box in my first photo) until they were no longer in danger of setting fruit too close to the ground. No pruning at all for my determinates -- no sense in that! Everyone has complimented the appearance of my plants; but that they were producing the fruit to go along with their greenery! I took a walk around the neighborhood by where I work today, and many people had bright red, ripe tomatoes. I was wondering what I had done wrong. Fortunately, I then walked by a (wild) blackberry plant, and found that it was similarly advanced compared to the blackberries growing wild at home, so I imagine it's my distressingly cold microclimate preventing my tomatoes from growing better. I'll have to figure out a new solution for next year -- perhaps individual cloches. |
I was out of town this past weekend. Before I left, I noticed I finally had a large tomato -- Oregon Spring -- that was nearly ripe. It was nearly entirely red. I came home after dark on Sunday, and went to harvest my lone tomato yesterday, Monday. The tomato was no redder than it had been, but it was much greener -- mold had taken it, and it was rotting from within. I'm not really sure how that happened -- I haven't been overwatering, and it's been bone dry, except for one day of torrential rains. Ah, well. At least I've harvested some cherry tomatoes. I'm scouting out locations now, under cover, where I can hang uprooted plants to try to ripen some fruits as the autumn rains begin to fall. Last year, late blight took what few plants I had managed to set fruit on, and I didn't get them out of the ground in time to prevent my tomatoes from falling prey to the blight. I am vowing not to lose them all this year, and to at least pickle some green tomatoes! |

I've only been watering every 10-14 days since the planting mix in my raised beds stays pretty moist. My tomatoes started breaking in the middle of August. Black Prince tomato breaking color on August 12th (80 days after transplant) Of course, this was the same week I had planned a trip to San Diego to visit my family. Three of the Black Prince tomatoes actually ripened within a week of the first tomato breaking. I made my husband take a picture, then pick them since they were getting overripe. Black Prince tomatoes ripening on the vine on August 20th I was only away for six days, but of course, this was when the weather finally started warming up (breaking 80°), so the other tomatoes also started breaking. When I got home on August 23rd, all of them were breaking. More Black Prince tomatoes breaking on August 23rd Cherokee Purple tomatoes breaking on August 23rd (89 days after transplant) Tomatoes on the first Black Krim plant breaking on August 23rd (90 days after transplant) One tomato on the second Black Krim plant breaking on August 23rd (90 days after transplant) A Jaune Flammé tomato breaking on August 23rd (41 days after transplant) The week's harvest of Black Krim (on bottom left, including the bright red one), one Jaune Flammé (top left), three Black Prince (top left), two Cherokee Purple (top right), and dozens of Sun Gold tomatoes on August 26th The two Black Krim plants are producing different colored tomatoes. Tatiana's TomatoBase shows Black Krim tomatoes to be dark reddish-brown when ripe, like the ones in on the bottom left in the photo above. However, all the tomatoes from the second Black Krim plant are bright red when ripe, some with green shoulders. I grew both of these plants from Burpee's Heirloom Tomato seeds, and their photos show some bright red tomatoes. I was a little surprised by the variation in shape for the Black Prince, but I wasn't expecting that much variation in the color for any of the heirlooms. Cherokee Purple starts off pink with green shoulders, then turns golden-orange, then dark reddish-purple. It's not only beautiful (if you can overlook some catfacing) but tasty too! |
Middle of Canadian Prairie. Late start but great heat for July and August moved things along. Today's picking. Two days ago. Last week's progress Shots from late July |
Finally, ripe tomatoes that aren't cherry tomatoes. Harvested these on Thursday. These are Black from Tula. They aren't all that black in my garden, though this is the first year I've grown them. I wonder what it is that made them not-black -- and I wonder if others, maturing later on the same plant, may be blacker. |
I like this thread. The year was 2011, more than 3 years ago. Being a PNW gardener I like it even more. And what make this thread even more interesting is that there are a lot of picture. Looking at the pictures of Black Krim, reminds me of mine last year. I kept talking about it and saying that is one of the growth habits of BK and there were some who tried to tell me that I have done something wrong and my BK plant was stressed. Haha. Not so Mrs. (%#@) ....I was right all along. Anyway, here we are now, June 18, 2014. And in comparison my plants are doing well. My SiletZ and few others have fruits already and I aim to celebrate The Great Fourth with ripe tomatoes from my garden. Let it be know that WE, the PNW gardeners are tougher than the weather is. Here is a pictures of one of my Siletz, taken about 10 days ago. |
I started bit late because of the fact that I will be out of country for a month in July. I have the timer on for watering. When i come back in Aug hopefully I will have some fruits to show. What do you think?? |

I'm amazed at what I read. In 5 minutes, I've found wrong descriptions of Mexican cheeses to be used in recipes. What is happening to Epicurious? **Panela is a salty, crumbly cow's milk cheese. Feta is a good substitute. As mentioned in this recipe. Panela is NOT salty, nor crumbly!! It is fresh cow's milk cheese, lightly salted. You must cut or shred to use. It does not crumble. Feta is not a good substitute if you are relying on getting the same flavour and texture. However, it will be good on this dish.
This is a great recipe, although I found the call for green beans odd. I substituted about 5 pablano peppers charred on an open gas flame, cleaned, and sliced, instead of the green beans. I also added a good handful of sliced onion and crushed garlic at the beginning of cooking the vegetables. Made as a vegetable casserole, this pairs well with a turkey mole.
I made this super simple. I used one large can tomatillos, store bought corn tostadas (already crispy) and one can black beans instead of green beans, zucchini and squash. My 16 year old son loved this. Will definitely make this again.
made this recipe last week as we have had an abundant crop of tomatillos. It was delish! As others have I switched the turkey out for chicken that I had on hand. It was perfect. My fiance requested that I make it again this week.
Better the 2nd day. I omitted frying the tortillas; don't think it would add much to the dish except calories. There is too much for a standard 13x9 baking dish. Use a larger pan if you have it. I was not able to use all my veg. and still had trouble sealing the pan. As other reviewers suggested, I used chicken (home made). The tomatillo salsa was great and easy to make.
Really delicious. I used a roasted chicken and jarred tomatillo sauce. I am sure it would have been even better if I had made the sauce, but the jar worked well and the roast chicken was really flavorful and moist. Using the jarred tomatillo also helped make the recipe really easy to make.
Great recipe which will become and standby at our house. I used purchased tomatillo salsa and a rotisserie chicken to save some time. Served it with sliced avocados on the side. Delicious reheated the next day, too!
My whole family really enjoyed this, especially my 2 year old! Now I know how I will use up the rest of the tomatillos from the garden. I also used chicken and acorn squash. I think in the future I will stick to that combination because it worked so super well.

DEARBORN - At the culmination of a month long reveal for Ford F-150, a packed auditorium saw the newly revealed range topping F-150 Platinum and a mini concert from Country music star Toby Keith.
Opening the event Ford Truck Group Marketing Manager Doug Scott welcomed an excited group of Ford employees including a large contingent of Ford Truck team members from Marketing, Product Development and Finance. He also welcomed Brad Huff, plant manager, Dearborn Truck Plant, along with a group of employees from the plant where the F-150 is built.
"We started the month with the reveal of the XLT with Alan Mulally in Waco, Texas, with the Future Farmers of America – one of our partners for the last 65 years," said Scott. "We then announced special service vehicle versions of the F-150 for police and fire, Mark Fields drove the pace truck at the Quicken Loans 400 and earlier this week we revealed the Limited and Raptor for 2013."
Scott was on stage with the newly revealed Ford F-150 Platinum, and premiered the "Made in America" video by Keith – which was partially shot at Dearborn Truck Plant.
Following the video, Scott invited Billboard Magazine's Country Music Star of the Decade to the stage to perform.
"Hello, Ford," said Keith as he opened the set.
From Keith's new album he performed "Clancy's Tavern," which is a day in the life about working at his grandmother's night club. He followed that with first No. 1 single "Should have been a Cowboy."
Keith then discussed his partnership with Ford – including the inclusion of Dearborn Truck Plant in the videos.
"Some of these videos have been shot right here amongst the factory workers in Detroit," Keith said. "And we are always honored to have them up there."
Closing the set, Keith performed "Whiskey for my Men, Beer for my Horses," "American Soldier" and "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue."
"Take it from a third-generation Ford Truck driver its great having a big partnership with you guys and I know it's been great for me," said Keith. "My new Raptor rocks for any of you in charge of the Raptor. Thank you, Ford."
