July 18, 02010
To my old friends, hello again.
And to my new friends, allow me to introduce myself.
I have been blessed to have been around the greatest game in the world for 25 years.
You may have seen my stories in the Chicago Tribune, my current full-time employer. Or in the Sporting News, where I worked for nearly 10 years. Or in the Chicago Sun-Times, where I started out.
Or you may have seen me on ESPN2's First Take, where I was a regular contributor. Or you may have read my columns on NBC.com, where I previously freelanced.
What I'm most interested in is the game — the strategies, the matchups and the incredible abilities of the athletes who never cease to amaze me. I'm much less interested in contracts, drug tests and labor issues. And I am a draft junkie.
I have covered 23 Super Bowls and been a pool reporter for five of them, including three of the Patriots' appearances under Bill Belichick. But I still get goose bumps when the confetti starts falling at the end of the game, and the champions stand alone.
I have learned a lot from talking ball with people like Belichick, Bill Walsh and Mike Martz.
If that isn't enough to be thankful for, I have a multitude of great friends around the league, a beautiful wife, three wonderful kids and a cavachon who always gets the last sip of my martini. And I'm a cancer survivor.
So it's a privilege to be here and writing for you and for a website that has been one of my favorites since its inception. I hope to maintain the high standards the writers here have set, providing insight and analysis. And I look forward to the challenge.
I invite you to follow me on Facebook and to email your questions at email@example.com. I'll be answering them regularly.
ICONVince Young is primed to have a big year for offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger and the Titans.
Things I didn't used to know
*Whatever happened in that nudie bar aside, Vince Young has had a really, really good offseason and is primed for a big year. In fact, Titans offensive coordinator Mike Heimerdinger tells me of Young's hundreds of passes in OTAs and minicamp, he threw only two interceptions. That's really impressive.
*Signing unrestricted free agents after June 1 has a hidden benefit: the acquisitions don't count in the formula for compensatory draft picks. Among the teams that took advantage were the Ravens (kicker Shayne Graham, cornerback Walt Harris), the Bucs (guard Keydrick Vincent), the Texans (fullback Justin Griffith) and the Lions (cornerback Dre' Bly).
*Assistant coaches are going to get screwed if there is a lockout next March. Lockout language in contracts calls for them to receive pay cuts between 25 and 50 percent of their salaries. Some of their pay cuts will begin in March, others will begin after 60 days, depending on the team. Many head coaches, except for the really big dogs, also will be affected.
*No one is going to get screwed in a lockout more than scouts, however. Twenty-four of the 32 teams have lockout language in their scouts' contracts that will call for pay cuts between 25 and 50 percent. But unlike virtually every other department in an NFL organization, the scouting department will have to carry on as usual. For scouts, it will be the same job for less pay. Among the teams that have not asked for pay cuts from scouts are the Colts, Patriots, Saints and Seahawks. Bravo to them.
My Sunday best
The best teams on paper heading into training camp:
1. Vikings: I thought they were the most talented team on paper last season, and nothing has changed to make me think otherwise. So yes, I'm assuming what you are assuming about No. 4.
2. Ravens: If they were healthier last season, they might have given the Colts a run for the AFC title. An offense on the brink added Anquan Boldin, a red plus receiver.
3. Cowboys: There are some underachievers on this team, but the talent is very strong, almost across the board.
4. Packers: If the cornerbacks don't start playing old, the Packers should have strong talent at every position on the field.
5. Chargers: The talent level isn't quite what it was a couple of years ago, but the Chargers could be a better team.
6. Jets: Mike Tannenbaum has assembled an all-star roster. Now let's see if they can play well together.
7. Colts: This is a team that plays better than its talent because Peyton Manning lifts up everyone around him.
8. Saints: There are quite a few teams with more talent on defense than the Saints, but the New Orleans offense makes up for it.
9. Bengals: Some really gifted reclamation projects like Antonio Bryant, Cedric Benson and Tank Johnson put this team in the upper echelon of talent.
10. Falcons: This team has a lot of young talent that could look better in January than it does in July.
Numbers game: Brian Orakpo's switch
ICONBrian Orakpo had 11 sacks for the Redskins in '09.
As a rookie outside linebacker in a 4-3, Brian Orakpo had 11 sacks for the Redskins — tied for seventh- most in the NFL. He also had five hits and 21 hurries. In his second season, Orakpo is going to be pass rushing a lot more now that the Redskins are playing a 3-4 under new coordinator Jim Haslett.
What might this mean for Orakpo's numbers? Well, consider this: Orakpo rushed the passer about 200 times last season. This season, he could rush the passer upwards of 600 times.
So if his production keeps pace with his opportunities, he will end up with 33 sacks, 15 hits and 63 hurries.
Now, no one is expecting those kinds of numbers from Orakpo. But Haslett and the Redskins are expecting big things. This is what he told me about the 2009 first-round pick: "He's a beast. I love the kid. The guy is smart, he's tough, he's mean, he's a good athlete. He'll do whatever you want and he's got all the skills to be one of the best players in the league. You'd love coaching this guy."
Scout talk: Harvey Unga
Personnel evaluators I've spoken with tell me the Bears got an excellent value by acquiring Harvey Unga with a seventh-round pick in the supplemental draft. Three scouts said they rated Unga as a third-round talent.
The consensus was that if Unga had been in the April draft, he would have been the eighth running back taken. It likely would have gone like this:
1. C.J. Spiller (first round, Bills)
2. Ryan Mathews (first round, Chargers)
3. Jahvid Best (first round, Lions)
4. Dexter McCluster (second round, Chiefs)
5. Toby Gerhart (second round, Vikings)
6. Ben Tate (second round, Texans)
7. Montario Hardesty (second round, Browns)
8. Harvey Unga (third round).
There was no running back taken in the third round in April, so Unga could have filled a void.
He fell to the seventh round in the supplemental draft for a variety of reasons, the most prominent being that supplemental picks usually are devalued because of the timing of the draft.
Unga's character was not an issue with the teams I spoke with. They pointed out he volunteered to Brigham Young officials that he had broken the school's honor code. And one pointed out he scored well on the Wonderlic.
Unga had time to visit and take a physical exam for only one team — the Bears, though the Bears shared the medical information with four other teams who were interested.
Unga's 40-yard dash time of 4.65 undoubtedly hurt him, probably more than it should have. He didn't have time to properly train and condition for the test, and likely could have shaved off considerable time if he had been with a good speed coach. He did vertical jump 35 inches at 244 pounds, which speaks to his potential explosiveness as a runner.
What makes Unga a good value is his versatility. It might be a long shot that he'll be a starting tailback, but he stands a good chance of being a contributor because he can catch the ball and pass protect as a third-down back or rotational back. He also has a good body for special teams, and he might even project to fullback in the right system.
His college production might have been inflated because he played in the Mountain West conference. That's a passing conference, and seven-man fronts are the norm. But Unga still looks good on tape.
The other player chosen in the supplemental draft, defensive tackle Josh Price-Brent, did not represent the same kind of value for the Cowboys, according to scouts I spoke with. Price-Brent carried a free agent/seventh-round grade.
One man yelp: Sean Payton's book and more
ICONSaints head coach Sean Payton is lost in the confetti.
Everything Sean Payton does, he tries to do to the best of his ability. That explains why his book, Home Team: Coaching the Saints and New Orleans Back To Life, is so much better than the typical coaches' effort. In the book, which debuted on the New York Times best-seller list at No. 8, Payton candidly tells the stories that define his career and takes the reader along on the Saints' magic carpet ride.
Payton told me he made a conscious effort to make this book different from ones he has read. "I dreaded the project if it was going to be the conventional coaches' speak," he said. "You get vested into something like this and you want it to be a quality product. I didn't want to do the cliché book. This was geared more towards four years of stories and things that took place leading up to a championship.
"Our fans always look for more access and want more behind the scenes information. We started with the premise of — 'Wait until you hear this.' But we wanted to tell the stories in a very respectful fashion."
He even found a way to be honest and yet respectful when telling the tale of being interviewed by Al Davis for the Raiders' head coaching position in 2004. He wrote about how Davis ordered from McDonalds for their interview dinner — "not quarter pounders with cheese or Big Macs. The kids-menu cheeseburgers — ten of them. Like the kind that come with the Happy Meal."
Payton told me interviewing with Davis was challenging. "He's the only owner who can talk with you about offensive strategy, defensive fronts and coverages, kicking game, salary cap, team travel, rookie pool. He's coached. He's been a commissioner. Now he's an owner. He can keep you on the edge of the seat. When you leave interviewing with him, you feel you can interview with anyone."
Payton recounts in glorious detail the story of how he imitated Belichick in a team meeting last November in advance of the Saints' victory over the Patriots. But he also writes about how Belichick's Patriots were the model for the Saints.
Even though Payton borrowed from Belichick and others in building the Saints, it was nice to see him take his own path in writing this entertaining book.
*Took the kids to see Despicable Me the other day, and it was a pleasant way to kill a steamy summer afternoon. It fell short of hilarious or brilliant, but the movie was cute, witty, fun and fuzzy. Despicable Me sucks you in visually (we saw the 3-D version), and keeps you engaged with a heartwarming story (who doesn't have a soft spot for orphans?). It isn't a movie that you'll remember forever, but you'll leave the theater with a smile on your face.
*Give a listen to Sting's new album, Symphonicities. He puts a classical spin on many of his hits, with help from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. It is an appropriate offering from an artist who changes his sound the way a chameleon changes its color. The constant between the two genres is Sting's crisp vocals. This version of Roxanne is darker without the reggae beat, and the arrangement reflects the mood of the lyrics better than the popular version. Englishman in New York is superior to the original with help from a playful piccolo.
Hot reads
*Losing Vincent Jackson to a suspension for the first three games of the season stinks for the Chargers, but not nearly as much as it could have. The Chargers' first three opponents (Kansas City, Jacksonville and Seattle) collectively lost 70 percent of their games last year.
*Seeing Daniel Snyder comment on the passing of George Steinbrenner reminded me that Snyder has tried to be an NFL version of Steinbrenner. But what worked in baseball doesn't work in the NFL.
*I believe the late Don Coryell will get in the Hall of Fame — and should get in. The argument against his induction is the absence of championships on his resume. But he has changed the game more than all but a few coaches. Can they write the history of the game without mentioning Coryell? No they cannot. If you don't believe me, read this: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1171812/index.htm.
*Watching the World Cup and being appalled by the really bad officiating has enhanced my appreciation of NFL officiating. It's better than most of us give it credit for.

Before deciding where to settle down, or before you decide to move for a different job, think about the financial and life impacts involved.

Before deciding where to settle down, or before you decide to move for a different job, think about the financial and life impacts involved.
Have you ever moved to a new town or country to improve your career? Was it worth it?
Making a move to another city for a job shouldn't just be about the money. There are other factors to consider.
If you want to save money when you hire professional movers, company FlatRate Moving has a few insider tips.
Make sure you don't forget anything before you move to another country.
Late spring to early summer is a popular time for moving. One way to take some of the stress out of moving is to pay someone else to help you move. Here are some tips to help you avoid moving scams.
Before you move, understand the realities of the situation. Can you really afford your new home and your new lifestyle? Moving can get expensive, and it's important to be ready for what's coming.
I'm not a big fan of moving. Every year for the first six years of my marriage, I moved. Here are 4 of the frugal ways I came up with to move.
Is your new pay enough to cover the increased cost of living? If not, making the move might not actually be your best move.
Moving can often suck. Moving when you're young and looking for work almost always sucks because you are rarely moving toward a desirable location.

Wish You Were Here!
Yoga on the Mountain
From saluting the sun with teacher Cathie Caccia to moving through a gentle yoga class with Katherine Pleasants, dozens took to their mats beneath a wide Idaho sky on Saturday as part of the free Yoga on the Mountain series. Located at the River Run Plaza, either one of these fabulous classes is the perfect, centering start to a busy Sun Valley weekend. Cathie offers Sun Salutations at 8:45 a.m. and Katherine leads Gentle Yoga at 10 a.m. The series continues the 9, 16, and 23 of August.
In Focus with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony
The In Focus programs of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, themed "Made in America" this year, concluded Friday night with a wonderful program called "The Pioneers." Hundreds congregated on the Pavilion lawn and beneath the sail to enjoy a night of transcendent music by Ives, Barber, Copland and Carter. Under bright skies, patrons enjoyed picnics and another beautiful summer night.
Renée Fleming live and in person
On Sunday, the Sun Valley Summer Symphony presented their 30th Anniversary Gala featuring Renée Fleming at the Sun Valley Pavilion. Soprano Fleming is one of the most beloved artists of our time. While Pavilion seating for highly-anticipated event sold out weeks ago, on Saturday night in the Sun Valley Village, a sneak preview of the star's performance was visible – an audible – on the Pavilion Lawn's Jumbotron during a rehearsal.
Konditorei dinner
Everyone loves the charming Austrian-inspired restaurant the Konditorei in the Sun Valley Village for breakfast and lunch, but right now it's also open for dinner. Featuring a menu including a large variety of salads and rustic entrees, dinner on the patio puts you at the center of the action. Sip a glass of Prosecco or enjoy a signature cocktail, linger over a meal and don't forget the amazing assortment of handcrafted European style pastries.
Stars beneath the stars
A large crowd showed up Saturday night to enjoy the majesty of pairs skaters Caydee Denney and John Coughlin. The 2014 US Bronze Medalists, 2012 US Gold Medalists and 2012 Four Continents Silver Medalists wowed the audience with their grace and daring. Sun Valley On Ice shows continue through August 30 and high-wattage stars scheduled to appear this month are Olympic gold medalist Evan Lysacek, Valley favorite Johnny Weir and Olympic gold medalists Meryl Davis and Charlie White. Tickets are on sale now for the bountiful buffet as well as bleacher seating.
Don't miss a minute! Peak season is at it's peak and there is so much to do.
No question, Sun Valley Summer Symphony season is one of the most highly anticipated times of the year and it has arrived! Though the official opening night of the Symphony's 30th anniversary season is August 4, wonderful music has come already to the Sun Valley Pavilion.
As part of the In Focus series, the magnetic and slightly irreverent and raucous trio Time for Three took to the stage Tuesday night. Despite a brief afternoon rain, the Pavilion was packed and anticipation was high. Time for Three returned to Sun Valley this week after a memorable performance last summer and both audience and musicians were thrilled they were back.
"We've been looking forward to this since we walked off the stage last summer," laughed violinist Nicholas Kendall, and with a sweeping hand motion continued, "We appreciate this community that so appreciates all this."
The relationship between the Sun Valley Summer Symphony and Time for Three solidified last summer when one member of the trio hiked Bald Mountain with beloved Symphony conductor Alasdair Neale. This budding relationship spawned Project Tf3 that will ensure the amazing threesome return to Sun Valley again and again.
On Tuesday night, the two violin players, Nick Kendall and Zach De Pue and double bass player Ranaan Meyer let their music that defies easy categorization speak for itself. As Kendall explained, "Tf3 is not classical: it's not not classical. It's an experience steeped in the tradition of classical music."
The experience under the Pavilion sail was one of inclusion and one that grabbed the audience by the shirt collar and brought them along for the ride. With members of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony, Time for Three performed a rollicking 90 minute concert that covered everything from Bach to Brahms and made some detours into very modern music.
Special guest singer and songwriter Joshua Radin took to the stage for three songs with Time for Three. The addition of two guitars and his soulful voice offered a complete departure from what many people would expect of a classical performance.
Two more concerts complete the In Focus series whose theme this year is "Made in America." On Thursday, July 31, the program goes minimalist with a night entitled "Minimally Speaking" and features works from Reich, Glass, Tompkins and Adams. On Friday, August 1, the series concludes with "The Pioneers" and the audience will be treated to works from Ives, Barber, Carter and Copland. Both concerts begin at 6 p.m.
Starting August 4 at 6:30 p.m., the amazing full Sun Valley Summer Symphony will sit poised ready to delight with a full range of work during the season that concludes August 19. Please click HERE for a full schedule.
Whether you are a fan of classical music or think you are or aren't, don't miss the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. Programs are designed to excite a wide range of tastes and the experience itself is truly one-of-a-kind. Be sure to come early and sit beneath the sail one night for the best sound and gather a picnic and friends another night for an evening on the lawn that offers a totally different concert-going experience. It's all good! Actually, it's all pretty great!
Come celebrate 30 years of amazing music in an amazing place with the Sun Valley Summer Symphony. It's free and it's fabulous.
With tips of daffodils and tulips peeking through the ground with just a hint of hesitation and buds forming in earnest on the trees up and down the valley, everyone's thoughts are on summer. Summer in Sun Valley is like nowhere else: endless days filled with sunshine and temperatures that begin wonderfully cool for golf or biking and heat up to "time to jump in the pool" digits. Blue skies abound. The pace is as leisurely or as fast-paced as you like and days are filled with adventure and activities ranging from hiking to fly fishing to mountain biking to golf, tennis, horseback riding, backpacking, ice skating … really too many to name.
In addition to this daily menu of fun, Sun Valley offers some pretty amazing programs and opportunities each summer that draw thousands from near and far. Now is the time to secure your tickets and make your reservations. Mark your calendar for some of these favorites and check back to this blog and to visitsunvalley.com for updated listings.

This non-motorized parade is one of the largest in the Pacific Northwest and features museum quality wagons, buggies, and stagecoaches. The Grand Finale to the parade is Ketchum's own Big Hitch, the Lewis Ore Wagons. These large freight wagons are the best preserved, most original, functioning wagons of their kind in existence. Watch them wend down Sun Valley Road pulled by an authentic 20-mule jerk line. There are also arts and crafts fairs, pancake breakfasts, an antique car show and auction, live music and much more. It is a can't-miss weekend in Sun Valley.
That doesn't even begin to cover summer's fabulous meals, bi-weekly farmer's markets, Gallery Walks, summer camps for kids, free community concerts like Ketch'em Alive and Town Square Tunes, the Ketchum Arts Festival and the juried Sun Valley Arts & Crafts Festival, July Fourth fun, whitewater adventures … You could spend every summer of your life here and never get bored. In fact, many do.
Don't miss a minute of this magical season in Sun Valley. By July 2, daily non-stop flights to Sun Valley will be offered from San Francisco (United Airlines), Seattle (Alaska Airlines), Los Angeles (Alaska Airlines) and Salt Lake City (Delta Airlines) with new service from Denver (United Express). Also, be sure to look for great lodging deals on www.sunvalley.com for many of these summer events.
See you this summer in Sun Valley!

I am looking to replace my full depth refrigerator with a counter depth refrigerator and would like input on models/brands that you may like. I am leaning toward a French door but am considering side by sides also. I am still undecided about the in door ice/water.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
We bought the Kenmore Elite which is really a Samsung side by side. It is 24cu.ft which I think it one of the largest standard counter depth fridges you can get probably. The fridge itself is great, no problems with it at all, runs great, almost totally silent only hear it once in awhile. Having said that, in our next house I am not getting another CD fridge because the drawers are not big enough and we just plain need more room. So if a 24cu/ft fridge with drawers that aren't very big works for your needs then the Samsung side by side is great, that is going to be a slight problem with ANY CD version, its the nature of the beast. |
I got an KitchenAid CD\FD fridge a little over a month ago. So far. love it. Moved the old side-by-side to the garage. I opted to not get in-door ice\water because of price. CD fridges cost a premium as it is and an xtra 9hun was just not worth it. So far I do not miss the in door ice or water. Some things to consider with CD fridges: in door ice makers take up fridge space(obvious) and the implementation by makers varies. KitchenAid opts to go with a small tub but has a dedicated freezer air feed. Some of the ice makers are big. Also "counter depth" varies from brand to brand. Mine is 24" deep to the door seal others are deeper you have to check the measurements. I really like the french doors. Also there are 2 main types of door seals. KitchenAid and the other Whirlpool brands have the Amana seal with the flip strip. Others are friction. I do not know about the upper end brands such as Liebherr etc., because $6k+ for a fridge is not within my budget or worth the price imo. |
Thanks for the input! I have spent my day researching and looking at models in the stores and have decided to go with the KA CD/FD with the internal water/ice. The price for the 69" was very good. I really wanted the 71" but my space was a little too short. All is well though, as the shorter model is $900 less. I think I can live with a smaller fridge since I will be moving my side by side to the garage where I also have a freezer. Thanks again! |

Different prerequisites for different programs spur more headaches, says regional vice president Larsen. "For one thing, there are copyright issues with syndicated programming. To put a Major League Baseball game on the Internet, you have to pay Major League Baseball a monthly fee."
This combination of irritants ultimately convinced Clear Channel to change its entire approach to Webcasting. Previously, the company had covered costs related to bandwidth and assorted fees incurred by local stations in exchange for a slice of revenues. But toward the end of 2002, Clear Channel reps informed their stations that this direct monetary support would be ending, leaving individual outlets responsible for funding their Internet operations. Executives with Clear Channel stations in some of the nation's larger markets decided to stick with Webcasting, despite this switch: Chicago's WLIT, at www.WLIT.com, is churning out soft-rock classics right now. Most, though, shut down, with stations in Detroit, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Miami picking the option chosen in Denver.
The silence was broken locally on January 8, when Clear Channel's Denver outlets resumed streaming -- but a day later, the off switch was thrown again at Larsen's behest. "We knew we could only put streaming up for a short time, and then there was uncertainty past that," he says. "And I didn't think it was right to put our sites up, take them down, put them up, take them down, put them up. The next time we put them up, I wanted it to be when we found a solution that will keep them up -- that we can promote and people can count on. I didn't want to keep driving the people who listen to us nuts."
The end of streaming is especially unfortunate in the case of KBCO, whose online listenership got a boost from another of Clear Channel's failed Internet initiatives. Several years ago, the firm owned a station in Santa Monica, California, that was overseen by programmers at KBCO, whose format is known as "World Class Rock." The Santa Monica signal was sold in 2000, but Clear Channel retained the right to promote the station's concept on the Internet at www.WorldClassRock.com and paid a staff in Southern California to keep it running. The notion never made a profit, and it was abandoned around the beginning of 2002, but Clear Channel hung on to the Web address in order to direct fans to KBCO. While program director Arbough isn't sure how much KBCO's Web following grew after this move was made, he knows that it's broadened substantially in recent years. "People send Select-a-Sets from Japan," he says. "We even have listeners in the Antarctic who collect CDs of our Studio C sessions."
South Pole dwellers with Internet access aren't completely out of luck: A few Studio C sessions, by the likes of Tori Amos and Delbert McClinton, can still be accessed on the KBCO Web site. But for the time being, online streaming is only a memory -- and Larsen thinks that unless new answers are found, the people behind other Web radio stations may have to make the same tough choice he did. "It will take a while for all the unions, syndicators, radio stations and publishers to come to some conclusion on what's a fair way to divide the pie," he says. "In the meantime, streaming is only a very small part of what we do. We can only justify spending so much money or so much time on it."
Paved with good intentions: The tale of Oscar Hernandez, a five-year-old leukemia sufferer whose search for medical treatment was documented in this space last week, grows odder with each passing day. On January 31, the Denver Post published a report stating that the Denver District Attorney's Office is looking into a complaint that spotlights Children's Hospital of Denver, where Oscar is to receive a bone-marrow transplant, and the law firm of Moyes, Giles, O'Keefe, Vermeire and Gorrell, which represented the hospital as well as the child's family. The central question: Did a conflict of interest lead these parties to initially hush up and subsequently discredit an offer of a free transplant by the Children's Hospital and Research Center in Oakland, California, even as locals donated thousands upon thousands of dollars to pay for care Oscar could have received at no charge?
DA spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough says a formal investigation is not yet under way -- a point she also made in the Post article. But that piece left out plenty of other intriguing details about the media's role in fueling the story and, on one occasion, took credit where it's not entirely due.
The first person to alert the populace about Oscar was Nancy Leal, a reporter with the Denver arm of Univision, a Spanish-language broadcaster. "The mom called me," Leal recalls, referring to Oscar's mother, Susana Nieto. "She told me she went to different media -- radio, [English-speaking] TV stations -- and nobody would listen to her needs. She needed to raise a lot of money to help her kid, and since I've done stories like this one in the past, I said I would try to help."

What a wonderful pie! Not unlike a Southern chess pie, except it's chock- full of small apple dice, raisins and pecans with very faint overtones of spices and vanilla, not one of the flavorings dominant. And because of the fruit and nuts in the filling, it doesn't seem overwhelmingly as sweet as chess pie. This is the perfect pie for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and a possible stand-in for mince pie haters. Perfect for autumn and winter entertaining, too, but I could eat this pie any time of year!

About a week and a half after the cease fire in Israel, Mr. Deals and I decided to continue with our already scheduled trip to the holy land. At that point I still had not made any hotel reservations for our time in Jerusalem and a few days prior to leaving booked through hotels.com.
Originally the rate I booked with was $147/night, but two days later went down by about $20/night. While there is a specific hotels.com best rate guarentee policy where they can adjust the rate, I didn't really look into it and instead booked another reservation with the thought of just cancelling the first one. I knew the cancellation policy allowed a full refund up until 11/29 local time. On the night of 11/28, I went to cancel my original reservation to find out that I was past the cancellation policy – I was pretty in shock I must say, but maybe I misread it.
I went back to the confirmation email and found out that the cancellation policy in fact was 11/29, but the time to cancel by was 12:00am! This means it was one second past 11/28! I've never in my life seen such a deceiving cancellation policy ever. I immediately called hotels.com to see what they could do about this. Since they were essentially the travel agent, they were the ones that needed to contact the hotel, explain the situation, and see if they could get the cancellation fee refunded. Well three weeks later and I am still battling this one out with hotels.com as they are doing very little to help, but that is a story for another time.
What do you guys think? Technically I cancelled at 5:00am 11/29 local time (which was 11/28 US time) so I was past the cancellation policy. But this is extremely deceiving and I am actually shocked that hotels.com would even allow a hotel to implement this sort of cancellation policy. In this particular scenario, if they want the hotel cancelled by that time/date, they should make the policy 11:59pm 11/28. While I understand that many hotels have a 4pm or 6pm deadline, I've never never never witnessed 12am!!
Sorry for the rant, but I guess this is a reminder to look at the cancellation policy time and date in full detail!
dhammer53 said,
I don't mean to be off topic, so please excuse me. How come you didn't book a room using your points? That's what I plan on doing.
Mike L. said,
You went past the agreed set time/date. Suck it up big boy. Your fault.
David said,
Rules are rules – next time learn them and follow them. You constantly push the line, so don't be surprised when you accidentally stumble over it.
Alan said,
I think this one is on you. You waited until the last minute and got burned. Live and learn.
Kalendil said,
I've seen that with major hotel chains in the states. I've encountered cancellation deadlines of midnight with Marriott, Hyatt, and Holiday Inn. I actually don't mind those; the 4PM times seem worse to me, because I'm usually still at work and must quickly dash to the break room to cancel on my smartphone.
Matt said,
Based on a highly unscientific study of my last 2 years worth of refundable Hotels.com bookings, it looks like this is common outside the US:
USA – 3 bookings with cutoff of 6PM; 1 with 3PM
Mexico – 2 bookings with cutoff of 12AM
Europe – 4 bookings with cutoff of 12AM
Asia – 1 booking with cutoff of 11:59 PM -
CodeAdam10 said,
T&C, cancelation policies, legal mumbo jumbo is usually deceiving. I would have to say I'm surprised you didn't pay attention to the date AND time of the cancelation policy more carefully. Further, you might have jumped the gun (in excitement) by making a brand new reservation because we all know 3rd party bookings can be tricky at times so it made more sense to modify your existing reservation. I hope it wasn't an expensive lesson and Hotels.com help you out! I would also reach out to a manager at the hotel and ask them to intervene on your behalf (you still gave them business under the (new) 2nd reservation, right)?
Eric said,
I'm not a big fan of these "gotcha" type policies either. By working with Hotels.com for three weeks it sounds like you've exhausted all your options and it's time to file a cc dispute. At least that's what I would do at this point.
dealswelike said,
@dhammer53 – no problem at all. In Jerusalem there really is not a great usage of point redemption hotels. The only two options currently are the ramada and crowne plaza, both which are far from the city center.
dealswelike said,
@codeadam10 – I'm with you, surprised I didn't check the date and time as well. Absolutely my fault and fully admit it. Definitely a lesson learned Hotels.com isn't being too helpful but the hotel themselves is.
dhammer53 said,
@Deals, now That information very useful to me for my trip. Sorry to ride your coattails on this.
dealswelike said,
@alan – agreed. Lesson learned but hopefully a reminder for everyone.
Lauren said,
definitely worth trying to fight it! at the very least it'll never happen again to you OR your readers!
Ivan said,
Cancelation times can even be different within the same group, for example, Hilton can be different from Hampton Inn and so on.
monster said,
Technically, 12 AM (or PM) is not even a valid time designator. It should be specified as 12 Midnight (or 12 Noon) since it does not belong to either AM or PM, but rather, sits between them.
Likewise, 12 Midnight does not belong to either the day before or the day after, but again, sits between them. Therefore 11/29 12 AM could refer to the midnight following that date just as easily as the one that precedes it. It is inherently ambiguous which is why you'll often see deadlines referred to as either 11:59 PM or 12:01 AM.
In short, you could try arguing that you thought the cutoff time was the end of 11/29 rather than the beginning. Good luck!
Pointsandtravel said,
@ Mike L, David and Alan: If this happened to you, you would be all pissy, but, my, how the tables turn when it is someone else.
It is deceiving and it is meant to be that way.Basically it $@#%$. Sorry that this happened to you Deals we like.
bluto said,
did it say 12am in the email? if not then I would be a little mad too. if it did say that then it is overboard to say it is deceiving.
Mike L. said,
Pointsandtravel, I wouldnt be pissy to anyone else but myself. And I definitely wouldnt write a blog pist with a title like this post.
Unhappy 1K said,
It's definitely deceiving, I'm all for 23:59 instead; that said you obviously had time to cancel and you waited till the day before to do it.
Should you fight it, yes, should you suck it up if you lose the battle? Also yes.
GetToThePoints said,
You think that is ridiculous, St Regis is going to charge me over $10,000 if I cancel a reservation I have at Deer Valley. That my friend is ridiculous.
timmer1001 said,
to me this is probably less deceit and more ignorance. They probably just messed up AM and PM, like some many non-US cultures do.
craz said,
If I see a CX 11/29 12am it means to me that before 11/28 is over Hotel time I need to CX if I expect a full refund. There is only 1 12am on any given day theres a 11:59:59pm then 1 sec later its 12 am and a different date, no way to have more then 1 12am on any given date at 1 location
this is a SOL case if I ever saw 1, you can dispute it but once the Hotel sends in that the request for CXing was done hrs after the Deadline, I just dont see any CC siding with you
Sarah said,
I booked with Bo oking.com a few months ago in Lugano at a small place, where it said the cancellation policy is 7 days in advance. So, when I tried to cancel online on the prior Sunday afternoon before 6 pm….I was told it was too late. I called the hotel and booking.com and it was all straightened out immediately Nd I was not charged. But most places outside of the States that are not big chains like Hilton, do say….if you cancel before (for example ) September 22 there is no charge….. I like to give myself the leeway of remembering now to cancel at least a few days before the deadline, and am using more and more my reminder section on my iPad.
Ron said,
I'm not sure what you're claiming to be deceptive. Different chains and travel providers have different cancellation policies. If it's adequately spelled out when making the reservation, this is not deceptive and it's up to the traveler to adhere to the rules.
mrs K said,
Truthiness said,
No sympathy for you. You could have cancelled the first reservation immediately after booking the second. You waited, and waited, and waited. Now you want the hotel to eat the cost of your waiting? And someone suggested filing a CC dispute? That's crossing the line in my view. You argue, present a justified position, and see what hotels.com does. Getting the CC company involved seems unnecessary. And I say this as someone who just tried, unsuccessfully, to get about $80 back in a best rate guarantee from hotels.com.
MSP Bill said,
Have noticed that with Hilton a lot recently. Midnight day of arrival. Sneaky if you ask me.
jason said,
you said something about Israel trip. just refresh your memory and remember the ELAL error they had $500 tickets o Israel and that's a REAL mistake . did they cancel all? no they did not > why? coz people pay for there mistake rite? so as much that i love what you do for us , i think you should eat it quietly.
dealswelike said,
@jason – Yes, this was the El Al error. Let's get something straight first though. I absolutely admit to have making an error. Not once did I state that hotels.com or the hotel should reimburse me, although if they do that would be nice. All I was trying to point out is that a) I do think that a 12:00am cancellation policy is ridiculous (whether I needed to cancel the reservation or not), and b) make people aware to keep a close eye on their own hotel's cancellation policy so they do not fall into the same mistake I made.
dealswelike said,
@Truthiness – No sympathy needed. But just to ensure you have the right info – the 1st reservation was cancelled immediately after booking the 2nd reservation, there was NO waiting involved. I have not yet suggested getting the cc company involve, nor would that be an approach I would take as this was fully my fault, not the hotels fault, I just think it is a ridiculous policy.
dealswelike said,
@monster – really?! that is very interested to hear just in general.
Grado said,
6 years ago I booked a San Francisco hotel with hotels.com. When I got there, the hotel said they had no knowledge of the booking..the town was full but luckily they cramped all four of us into a small room. I have, and will never, use hotels.com again. You are confirmation of that. Sorry for your troubles with them and good luck!
jdaking said,
unfortunately rule is rule, we can not complain because they make the deadline at 12am. Would we complain why this hotel set a deadline at 6pm but others make it at 4pm? Of course we will not complain because this is to our favour. Again rule is rule and we learn.
Jacob said,
can you please remove @brew through's anti-semitic comment?
noltian said,
The title of this write up is not appropriate as their policy is not ridiculous but just confusing.that is provably why many here does not agree with you. As a person running a travel blog, you should know better
dealswelike said,
@Jacob – It has been removed.
M Rille said,
Thanks for the rant! To me, it is unfair and sneaky. I do not think it is a fair deal to the customers. It's intention is to keep the money in their pockets. There is a tremendous amount of "fine print" we the public are expected to read in this world. And lots of travellers have a lot less money to throw to the wind than the big corporate wheel.

Pedro R. Pierluisi has been Puerto Rico's Resident Commissioner in Washington since January 2009. A member of the national Democratic Party and the local pro-statehood New Progressive Party, he is the sole representative in Congress of the 3.6 million American citizens who reside on the Island.
In the 111th Congress (2009-2010), Congressman Pierluisi was a member of three committees: the Judiciary Committee, where he served as Vice-Chair of the Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security, and on the Subcommittee on Immigration; the Education and Labor Committee, and the Natural Resources Committee.
Pierluisi helped secure billions of dollars in federal grants and tax credits for Puerto Rico under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and worked to ensure that Puerto Rico and the other U.S. territories were treated fairly in the landmark health care bill known as the Affordable Care Act. The legislation tripled Medicaid funding for Puerto Rico and extended many important consumer protections and insurance market reforms to the Island. In addition, Congressman Pierluisi's bill, H.R. 2499, the Puerto Rico Democracy Act, authorized a congressionally-sponsored referendum process in Puerto Rico to determine the Island's future political status and was approved by the House of Representatives in a strong bipartisan vote.
In the 112th Congress (2011-2012), Pierluisi continued his service on the Judiciary Committee and the Natural Resources Committee, and was also the first delegate ever appointed to the Ethics Committee, which investigates alleged violations of laws and House rules by Members of Congress.
In the current 113th Congress (2013-2014), Pierluisi again serves on the Judiciary Committee, the Natural Resources Committee, and the Ethics Committee. He is leading an ongoing effort to increase the level of federal resources dedicated to combat crime in Puerto Rico and, as a result of his efforts, the Department of Homeland Security surged personnel to the Island in 2013. Following a November 2012 local referendum in which a majority of voters rejected the current status and more voters expressed a preference for statehood than any other status option, Congressman Pierluisi introduced bipartisan legislation, H.R. 2000, the Puerto Rico Status Resolution Act, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of statehood, provides for an up-or-down vote in Puerto Rico on the territory's admission as a state, and lays out the steps the president and Congress would take if a majority of voters favor admission.
Congressman Pierluisi's priorities include initiatives to improve life for his constituents in the areas of job creation, economic development, education, health care, infrastructure, and crime control.
Born in San Juan, Congressman Pierluisi is an attorney with 24 years of legal experience in the public and private sector. He is a graduate of Tulane University and The George Washington University Law School. He began his career in Washington, working for six years as a litigator at an internationally-recognized law firm.
From 1993 to 1996, Pierluisi served as Attorney General of Puerto Rico. In that role, he supervised over 500 attorneys and argued two landmark constitutional law cases before the Supreme Court of Puerto Rico. He was active in the National Association of Attorneys General and served as Chairman of its Eastern Region in 1996.
As Attorney General, Pierluisi coordinated efforts between state and federal law enforcement agencies on the Island. His anti-corruption strategy eliminated the practice of "phantom" employees in the Puerto Rico Legislature—individuals who are on the government payroll even though they do not perform government work. During his tenure, Pierluisi distinguished himself in the fight against crime. He was tapped by the White House to lobby Congress to approve the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, known as the Crime Bill. Pierluisi helped secure passage of that legislation and obtained Puerto Rico's designation as a High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area under the bill.
After more than 10 successful years in private law practice, Pierluisi decided to return to public service, running for the position of Resident Commissioner.
Pierluisi, the son of former Puerto Rico Housing Secretary Jorge Pierluisi and Doris Urrutia, has four children and is married to Maria Elena Carrión.

I was wondering and got in a friendly argument with someone that I was hoping everyone on the board could help with. Can you take potatoes from the grocery store, let them get "eyes" and have them grow potatoes?
thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, I do it all the time! They generally do get sprayed with a retardant that keeps them from sprouting sooner, but it won't stop them. Had one come up in a compost pile from a peeling this year, it produced a fist sized tater! |
- Posted by ezzirah011 7a okc (My Page) on Sun, Jul 4, 10 at 7:43
Thank you! I decided to grow some potatoes for the fall garden and decided too late to buy seed potatoes. Thanks! |
I store store bought baking potatoes in ziploc bags and they are constantly sprouting roots. |
- Posted by texas_is_home (My Page) on Sun, Jul 18, 10 at 15:59
yes!! i grew some this year! i asked myself the same question and i decided to put a few stor bought russet potatoes into the ground and they grew just fine!!! (they grew small potatoes sadly because i wasnt there to take care of them for a while) bottom line...yes they can and will grow! @gakaren |
I saw an show in TV recently about growing potatoes that made an interesting point. Whenever I had a few potatoes that got to shriveled to be used, I would cut them into chunks with at least one eye to each, and then plant them. I forget which show it was on, but the guy said that it was better not to cut them up. He said that when you cut them up, it encourages faster rotting of the potato while the plant is getting starting. He said that if you left the potato whole it did not rot nearly as quickly, which gave the plant more nutrients to get started faster until it has a full root system. I normally buy medium sized red potatoes. I normally put 2 chunks in each container to grow, so the final number would not be much different, unless you were starting with large baking potatoes. I grow them in cardboard boxes. The box will normally last long enough for a good crop of small new potatoes to develop. I pick up a few cardboard boxes at the grocery whenever I see them putting up stock, and they have some large empty boxes. The ones that paper towels come it are large and work perfect for potatoes or mulching over grass to kill it. I fill the box with about 1 foot of composted leaves and then plant the potato, then cover it with another inch or so of leaf mold. As the vine begins to grow, I continue adding more leaf mold to cover the vines so that only the top 3 inches or so of leaves are exposed. Once the box is full and the plant has started growing well, I water it with soluble fertilizer about once per week. By the time the box is falling apart, you simply pull the sides off to get the new potatoes, and then put the rotting cardboard and leaf mold back on the compost pile. I grow them a few feet from my compost pile, so they take almost no effort. |
When is the best time to plant potatoes? AND, could you not just put potting soil in the cardboard box? |
Thanks gtippitt, that box method is a good idea. Just wondering when you say "vines" are you talking about sweet potatoes ? |
- Posted by ezzirah011 7a (My Page) on Sat, Nov 6, 10 at 7:48
I love the cardboard box idea! I am going to have to do that! yes, potting soil would work... |

Event Name
- OR - Select an option belowTroy Guard is out to make the 2400 block of Larimer Street the taco the town with Los Chingones, a stylish taqueria that he opened there at the end of 2013, ten blocks and a world away from TAG. For decades, this block was home to the Bamboo Hut, a Mexican restaurant that made grease-dripping fried tacos; in contrast, the tacos on the menu at Los Chingones are little works of art, with quality meats and interesting toppings. But that's just the start of the menu's delights. You'll also find great guacamole, ceviche and an incredible roster of cocktails from a bar almost completely devoted to tequila. Grab a stool and enjoy the view of rapidly gentrifying Larimer through the giant windows on the ground floor, or head upstairs for more of a clubhouse ambience.

Persistent Settings works great, but one thing you got to remimber is that it doesn't backup each session automaticly from the live CD. So if you want to use the persistent function you got to back it up each time you make changes to your system.
The best way to see if all is working right, make personal changes such as background.
Then Click Kmenu > KNOPPIX > Configure >Save Knoppix Configuration.
It has several choices there, I choose Personel Settings, Network Settings, and Other System Settings.
After which it'll ask you where you want to save it. You can save it to any media you have that's writable. Just remimber that media has to be there when you boot into your next session.
Now to use your saved settings.
At the Knoppix boot promte. Type> knoppix myconfig=/dev/hda1
hda1 would be replaced with your media of choice.
You can also use myconfig=scan

Seeding Drug Discovery
The aim of Seeding Drug Discovery is to develop drug-like, small molecules that will be the springboard for further research and development by the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industry in areas of unmet medical need.A two-point entry system has been introduced to enable projects at an earlier stage in development to be competitive for funding as well as to progress later-stage projects further towards clinical trials.
What's included
Project duration will be determined by how advanced the project is.
Early-stage drug discovery projects (Screen to Lead) are able to apply for funding for up to two years to facilitate screening of chemical compounds to identify one or more lead series of molecules.
Late-stage (Lead to Clinical) projects, where a lead compound has already been identified, are able to apply for funding for up to four years, to support lead optimisation and preclinical development through to clinical trials.
See the Forms and Guidance tab on this page for details on what is and is not included in an award.
Projects must address an unmet need in healthcare or in applied medical research, offer a potential new solution, and have a realistic expectation that the innovation will be developed further by the market.Proposals are welcome from academic and commercial organisations based in the UK and overseas.
Eligible institutions are not-for-profit research institutions, including those funded by the Medical Research Council, Cancer Research UK and Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, in the UK, that are able to sign up to our Grant Conditions.
We are able to use our charitable monies to fund commercial companies to meet our charitable objectives through programme-related investment (PRI). For further details please refer to our policy on PRI [PDF 38KB]. Companies will normally be expected to sign up to specific terms relating the scheme (see the Forms and Guidance tab on this page).
Principal applicants and coapplicants
Applicants should normally hold a position of responsibility within the eligible organisation and be able to sign up to or comply with the conditions or terms of an award.
In addition, postdoctoral research assistants - whether seeking their own salary as part of the grant proposal, funded by the Wellcome Trust on another grant, or funded by another agency - are eligible for coapplicant status if they make a significant contribution to a research proposal and have agreement from their funding agency.
Application process
A preliminary application form should be completed and returned to Innovations by the published deadline.
Applications will be considered at one of the two Seeding Drug Discovery Committee meetings in each 12-month period.
Successful applicants will be shortlisted and invited to complete a full application, which is subject to international peer review by members of our Innovations Advisory Group.
Under the new two-entry point scheme a successful early-stage project will be eligible to apply for further Seeding Drug Discovery funding as a late-stage project, without the need to repeat the preliminary application and triage process
Application advice
Innovations staff will be pleased to assist with any enquiries concerning the Seeding Drug Discovery initiative.
The Information for Applicants document contains details of the scheme and guidance on the questions contained in the forms. This can be found on Forms and Guidance tab on this page together with specimen application forms and other helpful guidance notes.
Preliminary applications may be submitted twice a year.
The deadlines for preliminary applications, together with their corresponding review dates, are set out below:
Preliminary deadline |
Funding decision for invited full proposal | |||
5 November 2014 |
21-22 May 2015 | |||

Major Rand Paul Foreign Policy Speech Coming?
Submitted by Neotheone on Thu, 12/06/2012 - 16:32"Oh boy, historian Tim Stanley writes in the UK's Telegrapgh about Rand Paul:
There are two things you need to know about the son of antiwar maverick Ron. First, he's running for president in 2016. The talk of DC is that he doesn't much enjoy being a senator and his actions since election have suggested he's more interested in courting the Tea Party than legislating. Second, he's going to soften his father's message in order to do it. The word is that he's building up to a significant speech outlining an approach to foreign policy that distances himself from Ron Paul's legacy. The events of the last few days seem to confirm the gossip."

My garage door opener opens the door just fine. The problem is that when it closes, sometimes, when it touches the garage floor it opens up again and sometimes it stays closed. It seems to be affected by humid weather although there seems to be no rhyme nor reason to it. I've tried adjusting the down force but it doesn't seem to make any difference. |

On the side of the motor unit you will find the 'down limit' control. Turn this a tad in the opposite direction of the arrow printed on the cover. Some tweaking may be necessary. Keep in mind if you tweak too much the motor will shut off on the thermal overload and you will have to wait until it cools. |
I have a proplem with my remotes. None of them will work from >5 feet away from the unit. I have relpaced all of the batteries, reset every remote, and I have replaced the logic board too! I am at my wits end, as the only other thing that I can think of is to replace the entire unit, even though it still works at the wall pad! It is only 5 years old, and I have never had this happen to me before. Any experts out there on this? |
