Safeco Field, Seattle, Washington
W: P. Clemens (4-2)
L: T. Wilhelmsen (0-2)
SEATTLE -- Even with a stellar seven-inning start from Jordan Lyles, the Houston Astros were staring at the possibility of a winless road trip and seven-game losing streak as they headed to the plate in the ninth inning.
An unearned run allowed in the eighth inning put the Seattle Mariners ahead 1-0 and seemingly ended the Astros' hopes of a victory. They entered the game winless in 38 chances when trailing after eight innings and hadn't been able to score a single run in their past 17 innings against the Mariners.
But the Astros provided a first for the 2013 season as they rallied for six runs off the Mariners' bullpen to steal the victory from Seattle and snap their six-game losing streak Wednesday night.
"It's never too late when you're able to put together a six-run inning, especially after the woes we've had the last two games," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "It was definitely good to see the guys break out and put together some good at-bats in the ninth inning."
Trailing 1-0, Jason Castro and J.D. Martinez led off with a pair of singles and advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt from Carlos Corporan. After an intentional walk of Carlos Pena, Chris Carter doubled off the wall in left field to score a pair and give the Astros their first lead of the game. Another intentional walk loaded the bases again and brought the hook for Mariners closer Tom Wilhelmsen (0-2). It was Wilhelmsen's fourth blown save in his past nine tries.
Brandon Barnes drove in another run when his drive to left field glanced off the glove of Jason Bay and gave the Astros a 3-1 lead. Marwin Gonzalez drove in two more on a single to center off Yoervis Medina, and Charlie Furbush walked in another.
"We score six in the ninth -- we haven't had the offense lately but it just shows we can do it in a big situation like that," Carter said. "It's good for the team."
Paul Clemens (4-2) earned the victory for Houston.
Lyles posted his best start of the season in holding the Mariners scoreless through seven innings. He allowed just three hits and two walks, and struck out a career-high 10 to keep the game level into the eighth inning.
"Jordan was outstanding again tonight," Porter said. "... Even the times in which he got into trouble, you can see the look in his eyes and the patience and the poise of 'I'm going to make quality pitches to get out of this.' I thought the big strikeouts with the bases loaded was huge."
Lyles' previous career high for strikeouts had been eight going into Wednesday night's game. Lyles struck out nine Mariners through the first four innings alone and retired the final 11 batters he faced.
"Curveball was pretty good tonight," Lyles said. "We kept going to it -- kept burying it in the dirt and guys are swinging over it."
The Mariners had missed out on an opportunity to take the lead in the fourth inning off Lyles. Nick Franklin hit a one-out double off the wall in right field. Mike Zunino singled sharply to center field for the first hit of his major league career but Franklin was held up at third base. A walk loaded the bases but Brendan Ryan and Alex Liddi both struck out as Lyles worked out of the jam.
Mariners starter Jeremy Bonderman also pitched well. Bonderman allowed just three hits in eight innings. He walked two and struck out five before Wilhelmsen gave up the lead in the ninth. Mariners manager Eric Wedge said Wilhelmsen was missing up in the strike zone and the Astros were able to take advantage.
"The ninth inning is a different animal. You saw the next two guys struggled, too," Wedge said. "We've got to get Tom driving the ball downstairs -- missing down. When he does miss, we'll work on it."
Endy Chavez singled for Seattle to lead off the eighth inning. Gonzalez picked up an error when he dropped the throw from Hector Ambriz on a bunt from Bay that would have been in time to beat Chavez at second base.
After a popout from Kyle Seager and strikeout by Raul Ibanez, Seager lined a single to right to drive in Chavez and give the Mariners their only run.
Game notes
Mariners C Mike Zunino made his major league debut just more than a year removed from being selected by Seattle in the first round of the 2012 MLB draft. Zunino is the third catcher for Seattle to make his major league debut in the past 20 days, joining Jesus Sucre and Brandon Bantz. ... Lyles is the ninth pitcher to strike out 10-plus Mariners in a game this season. ... With two more errors Wednesday night, the Astros increased their league-leading total to 51 for the season. ... It was the first win this season for Houston when trailing after eight innings. The Astros were 0-38 when trailing after eight innings entering Wednesday night. ... Houston's six-run ninth inning matched its highest-scoring inning of the year. The Astros had scored six runs in the sixth inning against the Colorado Rockies on May 30.

I have to admit there are only a few night clubs I actually like. Most nightclubs do not have any hot men, they only invite women. Who wants to hang out at a club with only women, or only men? Most clubs for the record do not understand the 50/50 ratio or the good music factor. Tao gets it, and so does Lavo. the drinks are good, the music is good, and the people are hot. It was Tao's 5th birthday, and I got to spend it with Ashley Hamilton, Karina Smirnoff, and the Gastineau girls.
Happy Birthday TAOOOOOOOOO !!!!

Exporter: Dan's Fish, Inc. – Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin
Destinations: China, Russia, Sweden, Estonia, Finland
Transaction: Small Business Multi-buyer Insurance Policy and SBA Working Capital Loan
Export Sales Supported: $9.8 million since 2005
In 1994, Dan Schwartz received a grant from the state of Wisconsin to study and implement the export of Great Lakes caviar to Europe. As a fifth generation fish distributor, Dan used his experience to found Dan's Fish. In 2004, with growing sales, the business used a $500,000 SBA Export Working Capital loan to fund its working capital needs.
In 2005, the company obtained an Ex-Im Bank insurance policy in 2005 and has used it to support $9.8 million in exports to China, Russia, Sweden, Estonia, and Finland. Of interest, through a joint program between the SBA and Ex-Im Bank, this exporter benefits from a 25% reduction in its insurance premium rates. Dan's Fish, with 15 employees, has grown to be Wisconsin's largest exporter of Great Lakes fish and caviar.
"Ex-Im Bank's insurance has provided our company with a financial tool to grow our business internationally," said Gretel Sannikas, International Sales Manager.

ROCKFORD, Mich.— Public Safety Officers are encouraging drivers to avoid a section of Rockford Tuesday, as utility crews work to seal a gas leak.
Public safety officers sent out an alert to drivers just before 8:45 a.m. The leak is on Summit between Rockview and Riverchase. That section of the road is expected to be closed to traffic until approximately 10:45 a.m.
It's unclear what led to the gas leak.
Michigan State Police, local law enforcement and Michigan's Field Neurosciences Institute have teamed up with McDonald's of Michigan to once again launch "Caught Being Safe," a statewide bicycle/scooter helmet safety program. Kids wearing helmets and "caught being safe" by participating law enforcement officials will treated to a free ice cream cone or Apple Dippers at McDonald's.
According to the Field Neurosciences Institute (of Michigan): "Caught Being Safe! has shown a significant increase in both helmet utilization and public awareness regarding the critical importance of wearing a bicycle helmet. This program has impacted not only children but adults as well."
ROCKFORD, Mich.-- The traffic headaches on 10 Mile Road and Northland Drive should be over for now.
Jerry Byrne with the Kent County Road Commission says the pavement replacement work on 10 Mile Tuesday was a one-day project. The road commission deemed the project necessary since the road had deteriorated significantly due to the harsh winter; pothole patching would not be sufficient.
The eight-hour project led to backups on the thoroughfare, as drivers were forced to make indirect left turns. However, Byrne says the repairs should last five to seven years.
Byrne says one of the next major projects for the road commission will be replacing approximately three miles of pavement on Byron Center Avenue, between 76th and 84th streets. That work is expected to begin next week and last two to three days. Drivers can expect one-lane closures in both directions during the project.
CANNON TOWNSHIP, Mich.—The harsh winter is adding up to more bills for Cannon Township.
Last week, the township board approved five projects with the Kent County Road Commission. Supervisor Steve Grimm says the township expects to spend about $450,000 on roads this year, due to the harsh winter. That's $250,000 more than previously approved through the budget. The work includes adding a turn lane from Wolverine Worldwide to Meyers Lake, as well as plenty of winter road repairs.
KENT COUNTY, Mich.— State lawmakers are coming to the rescue of drivers trying to dodge a plethora of potholes this year.
The legislature Wednesday approved $215 million in emergency road funding, including $115 million for priority projects and $100 million to assist with maintainence needed due to the harsh winter.
"The additional funding is much needed to combat the brutal winter we experienced this year and to start to reverse the toll it took on Michigan's roadways," said Rep. Rob VerHeulen, R-Walker. "The investment in local roads will help to limit the expenses associated with car repairs due to poor road conditions."
The emergency funding includes nearly $1.9 million to maintain and fix Kent County's roads. That includes more than $235,000 for the following communities:
ROCKFORD, Mich.-- A nonprofit organization is looking for cyclists to dedicate their lungs and legs to providing bicycles for those who need it.
Freedom In Motion is organizing a 270 mile fundraiser ride from Rockford to Mackinaw City. The three-day journey will start June 19 and include overnight stops in Cadillac and Petoskey. Food, lodging and transportation back to Rockford will be provided to participants.
Freedom In Motion fixes up donated bicycles for people who need them- from children whose families cannot afford a bicycle to adults who do not have a driver's license. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go toward parts and tools to fix up the donated bicycles.
ROCKFORD, Mich.--At its January meeting, the Rockford City Council unanimously approved a resolution to earmark $9,250 of state awarded Community Development Block Grant money towards the future installation of a sidewalk alongside a heavily trafficked road on Rockford's far eastern border.
A .8-mile stretch of Courtland Dr. NE between 10 Mile Road and 11 Mile Road will see construction, in phases, of a sidewalk along the western side of the roadway. The roadway is the boundary between the City of Rockford and Courtland Township.

A Public Art "Walkabout"
By Paul Fairchild
Art at its best speaks to us, tells us stories. This is particularly true of public art, the sculptures and murals with which we pepper our cities. They tell a shared story about a community – how it was built, where it is going, what concepts and values are important to its citizens.
Oklahoma City is fortunate to have many civic-minded benefactors who donate the bronze, painted or steel chapters of the city's history that sit on corners and in plazas, turning a downtown stroll into a visit to an art museum.
Descriptions of the public art featured here are just that — brief summaries that convey a general idea of what the pieces look like. To assume these summaries could replace the experience of seeing these works in the flesh, as it were, would be to invite a beating from art fans around the city. The stories behind and about the pieces and their makers, however, are not as easy to come by.
This guide provides information organized so that one can walk a specific four-block route in downtown Oklahoma City and see some of its best public art. Hopefully, they will pull you into the city's story like a well-written book.
Your tour starts at the northeast corner of Robert S. Kerr Ave. and N. Broadway with "Curious Organism," an offering by Oklahoma City architect and artist Stan Carroll. This fun, prankish piece pulls you in at the overhang of a parking garage and spits you out in the Underground, the three-quarter-mile tunnel system linking 16 blocks and 30 buildings in the downtown area. The Underground itself, a virtual history of Oklahoma City with its many photo galleries, is worth serious exploration … but that's another article.
In the past, the Underground has been sorely underutilized, the many reasons for which were addressed with its recent renovation. The biggest reason: the entrances were not easily recognizable. This is one of a handful of sculptures intended to call attention to those entrances.
The white metal porcupine – truly, if it were that easily identified, it would lose a lot of its charm – extends its "eyes" through the glass wall, down the steps of the Underground entrance, and along the tunnel, exploring the unusual space. The organism satisfies at least one of its job requirements if, by using your curiosity, it draws you into the Underground and inspires you to start your walking tour … but not before you finish this story!
This sculpture, unlike many in the nearby Oklahoma City Museum of Art, is meant to be toyed with. Carroll explores the idea of vandalism – if you bend a spine here and there, are you subtracting from, or adding to, the organism as a piece of art? Did you vandalize it … or improve it?
Your second stop is one block west, on the northwest corner of Kerr and N. Robinson Ave., a piece that rests at the southeast corner of the Bank of Oklahoma tower.
Inscribed in its base and translated from the Cherokee is "Falling Water," a title that is to sculptures what "Smith" is to last names. But it has not previously been written in Cherokee, so sculptor Lin Emery is off the hook, and the piece is definitely unusual.
Immediately anchored to Oklahoma by the Cherokee name, the piece is abstracted from nature, like almost all of Emery's work. In this case, inspiration came from Oklahoma's state flower, Mistletoe, and its state bird, the Scissor-Tailed Flycatcher. Abstract and aluminum, it is a unique depiction of virgin Oklahoma prairie, the kind Leonard McMurry's pioneer — whom you will meet in a few stops — crossed to build a new life.
Artists like working with brushed aluminum for many reasons, including its durability and the semi-reflective quality of the metal. At 25 ft. tall, the statue looks unusually delicate, particularly as it sways in the wind, conveying a sense of the energies moving through nature, a favorite subject for Emery. It also abstractly reflects the shapes of the towers surrounding it, reminding the contemplative viewer that they sprouted from nothing but raw prairie.
It is an engaging piece as is, but one of its crucial components has been missing for some time – it is also a fountain, with water rushing down its blades when functional, adding another symbolic and aesthetic feature. The spigot has been off for some time, though, and it is unclear whether it will be turned back on anytime soon. Consider that a disclaimer; consider this a rejoinder: it's still worth seeing.
Head back east to the northern entrance of Kerr Park for an excellent example of urban design. There you will find a water garden oasis, a walkable getaway for cubicled office workers that need a little fresh air at lunchtime.
Following the flow of water will take you south, down the steps and headlong into Leonard McMurry's U.S. Air Force Monument. Although there is concrete beneath you, you are now in Couch park, which extends west to N. Robinson Ave., dead-ending at Leadership Square.
Erected in 1964, this 65-foot monument dominates Couch Park, honoring members of the U.S. Air Force, particularly those serving at Oklahoma's Tinker Air Force base. The statue weathered 40 years before a restoration and rededication in 2003.
Featuring a figure anchored with one foot on a globe, the statue holds in one hand a wheel, an ancient symbol of a mode of transportation. His other hand pushes a dagger toward the sky, as if to say, here's where we were and here's where we are headed. An eagle representing the United States of America sits at the very top. The figure was modeled after Air Force Lieutenant Wayne Baughman, an Olympic wrestler and Oklahoma City native.
Oklahoma is peppered with McMurry's work, two of his pieces on this tour alone. Born in Texas in 1913, he didn't come to Oklahoma until 1955. By that time, he had studied sculpture for years, only taking a break for service during WWII. One critic noted that his pieces come to life as the eye settles on them. His works include "The Legend of the Great Westerner" at the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum, "Healing Hands" at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, and 21 busts of Oklahoma's governors.
A time capsule is buried within the sculpture, which will be opened in 2089, the year of Oklahoma City's bicentennial. Oklahoma history buffs will find it utterly appropriate that E.K. Gaylord II, Cody Kerr and Garen Draper, all young men at the time, placed the time capsule in the monument.
Turn west and walk through Couch Park, past the water wheel. At the far west end of the park, near the corner of Robinson and Couch Dr., you will find the ornate "Sundial" sculpted by Rich Muno. In the details, it celebrates all things Oklahoma, including a large, hollow globe sitting on an equally large horse's head, a long established symbol of the American West in art.
Although hard to spot the elevated face of the sundial from ground level, it makes sense – surrounded by office towers, sundials don't work well in shadows, so every inch above the ground gives it that much more time in the sun.
Sundials — and the ability to mark time — have been hallmarks of civilization for more than 3,000 years. This piece is another unique reminder of the civilization brought here first by Native Americans and later by Westerners, both of whom used sundials.
Now that you have found the sundial, locate the smaller symbols that make this timekeeper distinctly Oklahoman. Careful examination of the globe arm reveals a scissor-tailed flycatcher, a WWII-era plane (aerospace industry), cattle, a haystack, an oil rig, a peace pipe, two tepees and three buffalo.
Move west toward Robinson and you will be greeted by another McMurry sculpture, "Pioneers of 1889." Even without an art history degree, one recognizes that this sculpture commemorates Oklahoma's 1889 Land Run.
This statue's placement is spectacularly appropriate. A dismounted settler, kneeling next to a horse carrying his young son, literally stakes his claim in the new territory. The settler's face shows a pioneer's determination, the unvarnished faith that grit, hard work and persistence will give him the ability to create something out of nothing. Stand at the base of the statue and turn a full circle. Every line of sight terminates on a skyscraper. Only a little more than 100 years have passed since the Land Run and, indeed, Oklahomans — beginning with the pioneers — have raised a bustling center of business and industry from the prairie.
Like all good portrait sculptures, this one inspires empathy. Viewers can't help but feel the burden of the risk – symbolized nicely by the rifle strapped to the boy's saddle, readily available for defending against thieves and claim jumpers or hunting the next precious meal – the father has taken on. There is fear next to that determination, but he has found a home — a future — for his family. Look hard enough, and this piece will take you 122 years back in time.
Note that you have barely walked four blocks and you are neck-deep in public art, many more not even mentioned here.
Turn south on Robinson and head east on Park Ave. until you reach the Skirvin Hilton Hotel, a historical and architectural treasure in its own right, restored and renovated a few years ago with an eye toward preserving both its architecture and the history it holds. The restoration was so thoughtful that it doesn't look that much different than it does in the 60-, 70- and 80-year-old photos hanging in the lobby.
South of the building entrance stands Enoch Kelly's "The Guardian," a small reproduction of the sculpture that crown's the Oklahoma Capitol's dome – here is an opportunity to see the famous piece up close.
Haney has said the sculpture represents all Oklahomans, Native American or otherwise, who have weathered hard times: the Trail of Tears, the Dust Bowl era, the Murrah Building bombing, and other hardships. They do so with the same determination and grit as McMurry's pioneer, and have earned their own monument.
In 2002, the 22-foot-tall original statue was installed on the dome of the capitol; its name takes on more meaning for the larger version. Haney, also a state politician, intended the bronze warrior, eyes searching the horizon and spear at the ready, to make a statement about the vigilant public officers ready to protect and serve in the Capitol building beneath it.
You have reached the end of this tour. For more art, the Red Earth Museum, featuring works by several Native American artists, is tucked into the east side of the Santa Fe Plaza. If you are looking to get your bearings and find your parking space, you are merely two blocks south of the first stop, "Curious Organism."

Engineering Edge
Turbine Vane Cooling with FloEFD
By Leonid Gurov, Dr. Svetlana Shtilkind, Dr. Gennady Dumnov, Mentor Graphics, Mechanical Analysis Division
Gas turbines play an important role in many applications, such as aero-engines, power generation and natural gas production. To increase the power output and thermal efficiency of gas turbines the inlet temperature of the gas entering the turbine has to be increased, which in turn means that the efficient cooling of the turbine's blades and vanes is essential. To eliminate the possibility of premature failure, designers must predict the local values of heat transfer coefficient and metal temperature as accurately as possible. This is where the application of CFD techniques comes into play.
While the traditional CFD simulation approach often requires a lot of user intervention including manual mesh generation and adjustments to the turbulence model. FloEFD reduces any such intervention to minimum. The study of an internally cooled turbine vane, for example, is clear-cut in FloEFD, eliminating the need to manually perform adaptive meshing of hot gas and coolant domains or solid vanes. In this particular case of an internally cooled vane, NASA C3X linear cascade, a well-known benchmark test case, was used to verify some of the data.
The resulting hot air flow around the cascade was defined in with experimental data [1]. Upstream of the vane (turbine inlet), fixed values of total pressure (3.217 Bar) and temperature (783 K) were specified. To achieve a transonic flow regime (Mach=0.9) downstream of the vane, the respective value of static pressure at the computational exit was defined. The resulting flow field represented in terms of Mach number distribution is shown in Figure 1.
To simulate convective heat transfer from the vane, which is made of stainless steel, to the coolant flow, two approaches were considered: general and simplified. The general approach implies the simulation of the coolant flow in each channel "as it is" and so suggests the 3D problem statement. As a result, non-uniform heat transfer along the vane height due to the coolant flow being heated can be captured in the simulation (Figure 2).
The simplified approach assumes that average values of heat transfer coefficient between coolant and walls in each cooling channel are known. In this case the coolant flows can be excluded from the simulation and replaced by the corresponding boundary conditions on the walls of each channel that include average values of heat transfer coefficient and coolant temperature. Although the problem statement is reduced to 2D, such an approach can be used to estimate thermal characteristics of the vane at its mid-span.
Figure 3 shows metal temperature and heat transfer coefficient distributions at the mid-span obtained using both approaches. FloEFD predictions are in a good agreement with the corresponding experimental measurements making this study an excellent demonstration of the use of FloEFD technology to calculate a problem that is known for its high sensibility to mesh quality, turbulence modeling approach and boundary layer treatment.

J and L Guided Sportfishing is gearing up for Fall fishing on the Chehalis, Cowlitz, and Lewis rivers. With both summer steelhead and the Buoy 10 season over we are looking forward to being on the waters of Southwest Washington. Fall fishing for Coho is one of the best times for an angler in Washington. The Chehalis river opens on October 1str and is the best bet for Fall Coho. Using light spinning rods and jigs we hook 15 to 25 fish a day in the calm tidal water of the river just outside on Elma, WA. October 1st thru the 15th an angler may catch 2 adult coho with only one being wild. Then on the 16th, all wild coho must be realeased. All Chinook salmon incidently caught will be released. Chehalis river coho are Big! Averaging 12 pounds with some as large as 18. Looking for lots of fight on light tackle Then this is your fishery. Call me today. Stop wishin and lets go fishin!!! The Lewis river is aso a great bet specially if the weather "blows" out the Chehalis. Coho in this river are availble thru mid November and run 8 to 12 pounds. Hover fishing bait and small spinners is the way to go. The Cowlitz also is a good bet just above the mouth of the Toutle better known as "the lake". Trolling wiggle warts is the ticket on this section of the river. Fish can also be caught up at Blue Creek and Barrier Dam. Summer run steelhead are also available in the Cowlitz. We are currently taking reservations for Chehalis, Lewis and Cowlitz rivers. Jet boat trips on the Columbia and Lewis rivers for 4 anglers are at a special price of just $580.00.

While observers such as Clearwater and Cano might view the unplanned-for addendum to Ruscha's work as something akin to painting a mustache on the Mona Lisa, Urbizu and members of the children's room staff see the in-house work as a definite improvement. "If you look at the children's rooms in libraries around the country, they tend to be more vibrant," insists Urbizu. "Unfortunately, that wasn't taken into account ten years ago."
Vivian Donnell Rodriguez, current director of Art in Public Places, stakes out a middle ground on the issue. "Sometimes people do something like this because they don't appreciate the artwork, sometimes it's because they just don't know," she says. "It would be naive to expect that everyone will have the same appreciation of an artwork. Clearly they should have contacted us, but they just didn't know." A year has passed since Campos executed her mural, yet Rodriguez has not spoken to Ruscha about it; she did, however, mention the situation to his assistant. After receiving complaints from Cano and others, she sent photographs of the new mural to Ruscha about two weeks ago. For now she's taking a wait-and-see attitude. "I'd rather not make a decision for Ed," explains Rodriguez, who adds that the only thing that she legally could ask the library to undo would be the portion of the mural that covers the lunettes, and not the lower part of the wall. "I'm waiting to hear what he [Ruscha] says. He'll probably say remove it." (Ruscha was installing his new project at the Denver Public Library and could not be reached for comment.)
Meanwhile, another case of children supposedly frightened by artwork has been reported at the North Dade branch of the public library, where a large mural commissioned by Art in Public Places more than a decade ago has been cited as the culprit. It seems that images of huge clowns in the painting, done by an artist named Craig Rubadoux, look more like big bogeymen to some impressionable young readers.
"I don't know much about the mural, but I can tell you it's scary," confirms Bernie Smith, a North Dade Regional library employee reached by phone at the branch.
Rodriguez is aware of the problem and says she'd like to commission a new work for that library, one that would reflect the interests of the area's black community. She notes, however, that currently no funds are available for such a project.
The fate of artwork in a library's children's room might strike some people as a tempest in a teapot. But Rodriguez says such controversies over older Art in Public Places projects, which illustrate the delicate balance between the rights of artists and the comfort of their audiences, ultimately have influenced changes in the current public art process.
"In the past, Art in Public Places programs were working with the museum as a model A they were ostensibly amassing an art collection for a city," Rodriguez explains. "As they have matured, they have found their own specific niche. There's more of an emphasis on process and on community input. The opinions of the community are considered more. It's not just art being made in a studio. The audience has become as important as the person who is creating the work and as important as the object itself.

Best morning-after breakfast
This recipe is perfect for sharing a lazy weekend breakfast with family or friends. Fire up the oven an hour or so before you're ready to cook. When the temperature has reached between 180°C and 200°C (check with your thermometer) and the smoke and flames have died down, you can start cooking. I've given you timings for a freshly fired-up oven, so just bear in mind that you may need to cook this dish a little bit longer if you're reigniting an earlier fire by throwing on a few extra logs. Always keep an eye on the fire and top up the heat source if you need to.
Parboil the potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water for 5 to 6 minutes, or until almost cooked through. Drain and leave to steam dry.
Cut the chorizo into 2cm chunks and place in a large non-stick ovenproof frying pan. Cook in the hot oven for a couple of minutes to render out the fat and give it a bit of colour. Carefully pull out the pan, give it a jiggle and add the sliced pepper. Return to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the pepper starts to soften. Add the potatoes and tomatoes to the pan and give it a good shake so that everything gets coated in all the lovely chorizo oil. Return to the oven for 2 to 3 minutes, or until everything is cooked through and nicely coloured.
Remove the pan from the oven and use the back of a spoon to make four wells in the mixture. Crack your eggs, one by one, into the wells. Season with salt and pepper, then return the pan to the oven for about 2 minutes (depending on how you like your eggs). Keep a close eye on the pan and pull it out as soon as the eggs are done to your liking. Scatter with chopped parsley, then take the pan to the table for everyone to tuck in. Serve with hunks of crusty bread.
