Large List of Englsih Tack & Misc. Tack
Hey all, I have been slowly cleaning out my tack boxes and I've found many things that I no longer use and probably will not use. Im going to list desciptions on here, pictures available upon request. Prices I list are what I am hoping to get, I will entertain offers and possible trades. Prices will not include shipping and I prefer to use USPS flat rate boxes. I will continue listing as I go.
Mattes correction half pad
This is the Mattes half pad, spine free design. It has the two velcro billet straps. Pad is slightly darkened but only where the saddle sits. White with rolled edges(much pricier in this form) with velcro slots for inserts. I have 2 or 3 layers of back inserts in, I don't know where the other inserts are but they are fairly cheap to get. This pad is close to $200. I am asking $150
Ovation Gel Half Pad(s)
I have about 3 of these things. I have barely ever used them. I have 2 white and one black, the black is a little bit larger. They are NOT the cut back kind. I am asking $35 each
Lami-Cell memory Foam Pad
I bought this at our Equine Affaire because I had heard great reviews about it and it was on sale. Truthfully I have only used it 3 times, seems to work well. It is black and is a contoured cut. Asking $35
Supracor Honeycomb Pad
This is a little bit stiff for my taste. Fits under my 17" saddle with room to spare. It definately keeps the saddle off the horses back and absorbs shock. I have the cover for it(rolled fleece edges and billet straps) but, I would need to find that if buyer is interested. It is definately used, not a very blinding white anymore but still has MANY more rides left in it. Sells around $200. Asking $150.
SMB Elite Front & Rear Boots
I got these used and honestly never used them. They are size large and white so they are a little dirty, I just don't want to throw them in the washer because I have no idea what it will do to them(even though I throw all my other boots in there) and I would rather sell them a little dirty than deform them. I think I had a pair that I washed before but just don't want to chance it. Asking $70
Smith & Worthington Leather Halter
Absolutely beautiful quality, brand new, won it at barn Christmas party 2 years ago and I just don't have a horse it would fit. Never been on a horse. Horse size, fantastic quality and beautiful brass. I believe it is triple stitched, adjustable chin, double buckle crown, and throat latch buckles. Asking $40.
Again, will be adding more as I chug along. I am willing to entertain offers.
Could I see a pic of the leather horse halter , thanks
RadHenry - Ill get the pic to you as soon as I can. It's at my house which I'm not currently at. Possibly get it tomorrow evening?
Hi , did you get a chance to get the halter and pics of it? thanks ;)
Can I see a picture of the Lami-Cell pad?
Pics of Ovation half pad(s)?
Posted via Mobile Device

Hatch saved Austin, but his other children -- Lindsay, 11, and Ian, 5 -- died along with his wife, Julie, 38.
"His wife and two children were in flames and he was never able to reach them," Bojrab said. "Steve reached over to his son who was sitting in front with him and tossed him out the window to save his life."
Beilein said in a statement that the university was saddened to hear about the tragedy affecting the Hatches. "Austin needs as much support right now as possible and I know he will be in the thoughts and prayers of the Michigan family during this difficult time," he said.
Canterbury School said in a statement Saturday to "keep Austin and his family in your thoughts and prayers."
Bojrab said Stephen Hatch had planned to go to Spain to celebrate his parents' 50th wedding anniversary with the rest of his family, but canceled the trip to spend time with Austin and his adult stepchildren.
"Steve was a very big family man," Bojrab said.
Another of his passions was Smith Field Airport, a small, historic airport near Fort Wayne. Bojrab said Hatch led a campaign several years ago to save it and bought the Smith Field Service Center and its flight school.
"He saved the property from being developed commercially," Bojrab said, adding that Hatch was instrumental in getting it on the National Register of Historic Places.
NTSB spokesman Keith Holloway said investigators were on the scene Saturday and would be examining the aircraft, interviewing witnesses and requesting air traffic control communications and radar data. He expected a preliminary report within 10 days and a final report determining a cause within 18 months.
AP Sports Writers Cliff Brunt in Indianapolis and Noah Trister in Detroit contributed to this report.

In addition, on May 12, 2011, Groupe Aeroplan received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange and announced the renewal of its NCIB to repurchase up to 18,001,792 of its issued and outstanding common shares during the period from May 16, 2011 to May 13, 2012. Total common shares repurchased and cancelled during the period from May 16, 2011 to June 30, 2011, pursuant to the NCIB, amounted to 760,000 for a total cash consideration of $10.0 million.Subsequent to June 30, 2011, Groupe Aeroplan repurchased and cancelled 551,300 common shares for total cash consideration of $6.9 million pursuant to the NCIB.Dividends DeclaredCommon SharesThe Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per common share, payable on September 30, 2011 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2011.Preferred SharesThe Board also declared a quarterly dividend in the amount of $0.40625 per Cumulative Rate Reset Preferred Share, Series 1, payable on September 30, 2011 to the holders of record at the close of business on September 16, 2011.Dividends paid by Groupe Aeroplan to Canadian residents on both its common and preferred shares are "eligible dividends" for Canadian income tax purposes.2011 OutlookOther than an update with respect to the target gross billings growth range for the EMEA region (as a result of a lower year to date growth rate in the UK and Italian economies as compared to the assumptions used for planning purposes, as well as the continued weakness in the underlying economies), the Corporation confirms the 2011 annual guidance provided in its February 24, 2011 earnings press release. The forecasts assume no further deterioration in the Corporation's key markets and that the Canadian operations will continue to outperform our initial plan targets for the full year. Interim operating results are subject to seasonal variations and are not indicative of our expectations for the full year.For the year ending 2011, Groupe Aeroplan expects to report the following on a consolidated basis: Target RangeGross Billings1Between 4 per cent and 6 per cent growthAdjusted EBITDA2Between $355M and $365MFree Cash Flow 3,4 Between $190M and $210M1. The 2010 results used to calculate the target range growth rate exclude the $17.4 million positive accounting adjustment relating to the Carlson Marketing reclassification of customer deposits to deferred revenue recorded in the second quarter of 2010.2. Within the consolidated Adjusted EBITDA target range, Carlson Marketing (as per old segmentation) is expected to generate Adjusted EBITDA margins of between 6 per cent to 8 per cent excluding the impact of costs associated with the phasing out of a portion of the Visa business in the US and restructuring costs related to the creation of the Groupe Aeroplan regional structure.3. Free Cash Flow before dividends and excluding an anticipated net payment of $74.7 million (£48.2 million) related to the ECJ VAT Judgment, which will reduce cash from operating activities in the statement of cash flows. Upon settlement of the ECJ VAT Judgment, cash proceeds from funds held in escrow of $42.0 million (£27.1 million) and related interest of approximately $1.3 million (£0.8 million) will be classified as cash from investing activities in the statement of cash flows and will partly offset the above payment. The net cash outflow expected in 2012 related to the ECJ VAT Judgment, based on accrued balances at June 30, 2011, is estimated to be $31.4 million (£20.3 million).4. The Free Cash Flow outlook range of $190 million to $210 million includes an assumption of planned incremental spend of $45 million to $65 million when compared to 2010, relating primarily to higher redemptions expected at Nectar Italia as members start reaching redemption thresholds and redemption velocity starts to accelerate, higher redemptions at Aeroplan Canada resulting from program improvements and investments made to improve member engagement, higher capital expenditures and increased cash taxes. Note that 2011 Free Cash Flow will be impacted by an additional interest payment on the Senior Secured Notes Series 3 ($7 million) and will not have the benefit of interest proceeds and prepayment charges from the Air Canada Club Loan ($16 million) received in 2010.Capital expenditures for 2011 are expected to be approximately $55 million. The current income tax rate is anticipated to approximate 30 per cent in Canada, and the Corporation expects that no significant cash income taxes will be incurred in the rest of its foreign operations.For 2011, on a segmented basis, Groupe Aeroplan anticipates the following Gross Billings growth from its operating segments: RegionTarget Growth Range of Gross Billings Issued February 24, 2011Updated August 10, 2011CanadaBetween 4 per cent and 6 per centNo changeEMEA5Between 12 per cent and 15 per centBetween 9 per cent and 11 per centUS & APAC 5 Between negative 10 per cent and negative 7 per cent No change5. Year over year Gross Billings reduction reflects the full year impact of US$60 million resulting from the phasing out of a portion of the overall Visa business in the US. The 2010 results used to calculate the target range growth rate exclude the $0.4 million (EMEA) and $17.0 million (US & APAC) positive accounting adjustments relating to the Carlson Marketing reclassification of customer deposits to deferred revenue recorded in the second quarter of 2010.The Average Cost of Rewards per Aeroplan Mile Redeemed for 2011 is not expected to exceed 0.95 cents, with gross margin remaining relatively stable. The above excludes the effects of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. In addition, Groupe Aeroplan made a number of economic and market assumptions in preparing its 2011 forecasts, including assumptions regarding the performance of the economies in which the Corporation operates, market competition and tax laws applicable to the Corporation's operations. The Corporation cautions that the assumptions used to prepare the above forecasts for 2011, although reasonable at the time they were made, may prove to be incorrect or inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results could differ materially from our expectations as set forth in this news release. The outlook provided constitutes forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws and should be read in conjunction with the "Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" section.Use of Non-GAAP Financial InformationIn order to provide a better understanding of the results, the following indicators are used:Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and AmortizationEBITDA adjusted for certain factors particular to the business, such as changes in deferred revenue and Future Redemption Costs ("Adjusted EBITDA"), is used by management to evaluate performance, and to measure compliance with debt covenants. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA assists investors in comparing the Corporation's performance on a consistent basis without regard to depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash in nature and can vary significantly depending on accounting methods and non-operating factors such as historical cost.Adjusted EBITDA is not a measurement based on GAAP, is not considered an alternative to operating income or net income in measuring performance, and is not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. For a reconciliation to GAAP, please refer to the Summary of Consolidated Operating Results and Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Earnings and Free Cash Flowincluded in the attached schedule. Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as an exclusive measure of cash flow because it does not account for the impact of working capital growth, capital expenditures, debt repayments and other sources and uses of cash, which are disclosed in the statements of cash flows.Adjusted Net EarningsNet earnings attributable to equity holders of the Corporation adjusted for Amortization of Accumulation Partners' contracts, customer relationships and technology, Change in deferred revenue, Change in Future Redemption Costs and the income tax effect thereon calculated at the effective income tax rate as reflected in the statement of operations, provides a measurement of profitability calculated on a basis consistent with Adjusted EBITDA.Adjusted Net Earnings is not a measurement based on GAAP, is not considered an alternative to net earnings in measuring profitability, and is not comparable to similar measures used by other issuers. For a reconciliation to GAAP, please refer to the Summary of Consolidated Operating Results and Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Earnings and Free Cash Flow included in the attached schedule.Standardized Free Cash Flow ("Free Cash Flow")Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP measure recommended by the CICA in order to provide a consistent and comparable measurement of free cash flow across entities of cash generated from operations and is used as an indicator of financial strength and performance.Free Cash Flow is defined as cash flows from operating activities, as reported in accordance with GAAP, less adjustments for:(a) total capital expenditures as reported in accordance with GAAP; and(b) dividends, when stipulated, unless deducted in arriving at cash flows from operating activities.For a reconciliation to cash flows from operations please refer to the Summary of Consolidated Operating Results and Reconciliation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Earnings and Free Cash Flow included in the attached schedule.EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP measurements recommended by the CICA in accordance with the draft recommendations provided in their February 2008 publication, Improved Communications with Non-GAAP Financial Measures - General Principles and Guidance for Reporting EBITDA and Free Cash Flow.Constant CurrencyBecause exchange rates are an important factor in understanding period to period comparisons, the presentation of various financial metrics on a constant-currency basis or after giving effect to foreign exchange translation, in addition to the reported metrics, helps improve the ability to understand operating results and evaluate performance in comparison to prior periods. Constant-currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant over the periods. Constant currency is derived by calculating current-year results using prior-year foreign currency exchange rates. Results calculated on a constant-currency basis should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, results reported in accordance with GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.Q2 2011 Conference Call / Audio WebcastGroupe Aeroplan will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter 2011 financial results at 8:00 a.m. ET on Thursday August 11, 2011.

I offer an all time all star freestyle line up from the modern era beginning in 1948.
Of course, it most likely harder to have 4 or more world/Olympic golds in the lower to middle weights since they were more competitive.
We observe this in our learned colleague' quandary concerning the area of the 82kg category, where 3 seems to be the limit. Even if we get some great older wrestlers to drop from 87kg, we still come up with only 3 gold but some with additional silver and/or bronze in the Olympics:
A Saitiev
M Schultz
K Jackson
G Takhti (3 Olympic medals)
M Mehdizadeh
P Gardshev (2 Olympic medals)
There is also the question of wrestlers who seemed to excell only or mostly at the Olympics: How do you rate them if they were a two time Olympic champion with no world gold or 3 time Olympic medalist but have 1 Olympic gold and only 1 or no world championships. Of course they are all great wrestlers, but can they be considered the best of the best?
This is a separate category in my opinion, and so I have to leave off some great wrestlers in that category, even if they are among my highest respected or favorites. For example: Double gold medalists Il Kim and Yojiro Uetake, but there are a number of others also.
Here is my all star list, also indicating wrestlers who wrestled at more than 1 weight class for comparison.
48kg Sergei Kornilaeva
48, 52kg Ibrahim Javadi
48, 52, 57kg Anatoli Beloglasov
52kg Valentin Jordanov, Yuji Takada
52, 57kg Ali Aliev, Husseyin Akbas
55, 60kg Mavlet Batirov
57, 62kg Sergei Beloglasov, Mustafa Dagistanli, Vladimir Yumin
62kg John Smith
62, 63, 66kg Elbrus Tedeev
68, 70kg Arsen Fadzayev, Abdullah Movahed, Pavel Pinegin
67, 73, 78kg Emam Habibi
74kg Bouvaisa Satiev
79, 87kg Gholamreza Takhti
76, 84, 85kg Adam Satiev
82, 84, 85kg Kevin Jackson, Mark Schultz
82, 90kg Levan Tediashvili, Rasul Khadem
87, 90kg Makharbek Chadarsev, Prodan Gardshev
96-100kg Leri Chabelov, Khadshimourad Gatsalov, Alexander Medved,
Ivan Yargin, Ahmet Ayik
+97-130kg Alexander Medved, Soslan Andiev, Bruce Baumgartner,
Artur Taimazov, Alexander Ivanizki, Salman Khasimikov
In my opinion, Medved is the only wrestler to genuinely qualify beyond
any doubt as an all time great in 2 substantially different weight classes
since he had 4 golds @ 97-100kg and 6 golds at +97-130.

Critical Review by Doris Earnshaw
SOURCE: A review of If It Be Not I: Collected Poems 1959–1982, in World Literature Today, Vol. 68, No. 2, Spring, 1994, p. 135.
In the following review, Earnshaw praises If It Be Not I, noting a few "shortcomings," but declaring the collected poems "rich, wise, and beautiful."
It is of course fascinating to hear the voice of an American woman poet, born in the same decade (1920s) as Adrienne Rich and Denise Levertov, who avoids politics altogether, including the politics of feminism and of the Vietnam War. Mona Van Duyn is a heartland poet, born in Waterloo, Iowa, and living in St. Louis, whereas Rich was raised and educated in sophisticated East Coast surroundings and Levertov was raised and educated in England by her Welsh mother and Russian-Jewish/Christian father. After decades of university teaching while publishing single poems and several collections with modest circulation, Van Duyn gained a wider audience when she received the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for Near Changes. In 1992 she was appointed by the Librarian of Congress as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry. Responding to the wide interest in her work, Knopf has now issued in one volume her six previously published books of poems: Valentines to the Wide World (1959), A Time of Bees (1964), To See, To Take (1970), Bedtime Stories (1972), Poems (1965–1973) (1973), and Letters from a Father and Other Poems (1982).
What was she writing about all those decades, if not the rousing public affairs of postwar America? Certain themes recur: thrift is valued, waste deplored; beauty is merciless, love and art are compassionate; the human animal owes much to other animals and likewise to flowers and fruit; the visceral and real outshines the abstract; surface and texture hold truth. She catches a moment with lyric and narrative intensity: "The Voyeur" places us with a woman undressing in an isolated cabin; she feels a large animal gazing at her; she finishes undressing slowly and contemplates seeking him in the woods for mating. Levertov's gift for metaphor is often stunning; the reader becomes breathless with the wide-stretching connections of her imagery. But her [Levertov's] style is marked by extremes: delicious humor countered by obtuse and clotted abstraction, brilliant showers of metaphor and a low-key talky tone that disguises her mastery of rhythm and rhyme. She can write a poem on canning pears that delights you, all the more as you realize by the last line that you have read a perfect sonnet.
Like Rich and Levertov (and Marianne Moore among others), Van Duyn has several memorable poems on marriage. However, in her case the poems are written from within the marriage bond—she has that rare experience for a poet, a single lifetime marriage. "Toward a Definition of Marriage" imagines five analogies: marriage is a landfill like a World's Fair island; an artlessly digressing poem; amateur duelists (my favorite!); a circus whose animals parade reluctantly, never completely trained; and windy oratory, because marriage is the politics of love. The poem wanders aimlessly, like the marriage she describes, but endears itself to the willing reader.
Bedtime Stories takes us via a grandmother's talk into American rural folklore in dialect, recalling James Whitcomb Riley, but darker. We hear the accents of old German settlers telling of strange events and common hardships. Speaking of hardships, there are enough poems about illness and hospitals to make the reader understand that Van Duyn has fought her own tigers. Unlike Sexton and Plath, she has no mother-child poems, but the struggle for coherence of a highly gifted poet in an antipoet, toxic society must have had similarities. In one line she observes, "There is too much roughage."
Kenneth Burke has written in his introduction to Howard Nemerov's New and Selected Essays (1985) about what it is to be a "Nemerovian poet," and Mona Van Duyn belongs, I believe, to the category he describes. It concerns duplicity and the mix of three professions: teacher, scholar, poet. Some of the annoying, rather juvenile treatments of serious subjects seem better suited to classroom presentation to eighteen-year-olds, and the references to grants for travel, academic meetings, and her excessive borrowings betray the nonpoet roles of teacher and scholar. These shortcomings aside, most of the poetry here is rich, wise and beautiful. Van Duyn's "merciful disguises" reward the reader.

Its owner seems to take as much pride in her bones as the big girls of Rubens could take in their avoirdupois.
1650s, misspelling of Middle English avoir-de-peise (c.1300), from Old French avoir de pois "goods of weight," from aveir "property, goods" (noun use of aveir "have") + peis "weight," from Latin pensum, neuter of pendere "to weigh" (see pendant (n.)). After late 15c., the standard system of weights used in England for all goods except precious metals, precious stones, and medicine.
avoirdupois av·oir·du·pois (āv'ər-də-poiz')

The Obama administration made official its call for a comprehensive privacy law today, and there are signals that industry support for such a move might be broader than expected. To start with, a privacy official from Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT), a key industry player, voiced the company's support for new federal legislation, saying that the current patchwork of industry-by-industry privacy rules is too cumbersome. The government's proposal, which was laid out to a Senate committee today by Commerce Department official Larry Strickling, will provide a "baseline" of privacy protections. Strickling didn't define exactly what those are, but said that the administration is ready to work with Congress and hammer out the details.
While federal legislation should set baseline rules for privacy protection, Microsoft Deputy General Counsel Erich Andersen said at the hearing, but should be joined by industry self-regulation that would fine-tune the controls. There are currently more than 300 state and federal laws relating to privacy, said Andersen, adding that the current approach "creates confusion among consumers and can result in gaps in the law for emerging sectors or business models."
Microsoft General Counsel Brad Smith wrote about the company's support for federal privacy legislation on the company's policy blog today, writing that "[c]onsumer trust is vital to the growth of a vibrant Internet, and respect for privacy is a critical component to earning and maintaining that trust."
And Microsoft wasn't the only company in the somewhat unusual position of asking for more regulation. "The key to our success and to ensuring balance among these interests is earning the customers trust," said Barbara Lawler, Chief Privacy Officer for Intuit, which makes TurboTax and other software.
The government's proposal will make the FTC the primary enforcement agency for privacy law. The administration is introducing its ideas for privacy rules with the same "privacy bill of rights" phrasing used in a Commerce Department report released last year. Just the fact that the Commerce Department is on board with the proposal may suggest broad industry support, since Commerce released its privacy suggestions around the same time that an FTC report on privacy was published, and Commerce was widely considered the more industry-friendly of the two reports.
The administration's proposal–which is really only a broad-stroke statement at this point–joins a plethora of privacy bills already submitted or proposed, including a Senate bill recently proposed by Sens. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and John McCain (R-AZ), as well as a House bill proposed by Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA).
Correction Appended 3/21: The original version of this article attributed an incorrect quote to Barbara Lawler of Intuit. In fact, the quote was spoken by Chris Calabrese of the American Civil Liberites Union, who also spoke in support of the proposal. Both quotes are from the same same link to the Senate committee's website.

Should I get a F800ST
|Should I get a F800ST
|Dan said 2010-09-21 07:37
I now ride a HOnda shadow and think that an ergonomically sensible bike might be more to my liking. I test drove a brand new bike, but discovered a 2007 on line. 9100 miles, original tires, ABS breaks, heated grips, pannier bags. Asking $7800. Does this seem reasonable? How soon will I need tires? How much will they cost? Any big services due about now?
I\´d appreciate any info that you could submit.

The Best Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia
John's is the best, period !
I detest Delessandro's chopped up, gristly, tasteless steaks.
Don't you just love New Yorkers coming to Philly and telling us what's what?
John's is the best, period !
I detest Delessandro's chopped up, gristly, tasteless steaks.
Don't you just love New Yorkers coming to Philly and telling us what's what?
Mazel-tov ! I wish that I could live in the land of in-n out !!
My wife and I drove 9000 miles ...up and back. It's a WONDERFUL trip.
If you have time..pick a little road away from the interstate...every few days.
You will find regional foods that are never duplicated in the urban areas.
safe trip.
Kenji, I'm happy that you ate well in Chicago....but when looking at the picture... ...I didn't see the pizza . I saw tomato cheese cake.
Pizza is toasty, cheesy and FLAT.
Come to Philly, I'll show you real pizza !!
Caviar is not kosher..so the use of matzoh meal really doesn't matter for Passover.
Real caviar is the roe of the sturgeon, which has no scales.
I guess that's why the ultimate Jewish gastronomic experience is herring!
There is kosher "caviar" made from salmon roe...but it's not the same.
to Notarose,,,,
a Lupin or Lupini bean is a type of lima bean. Hard texture.
I agree with Argol, giardine is necessary on N'orlins muffalatta...and Philadelphia hoagies.
Philadelphia has lots of good local brands...all hot and spicy.
Try the Borsht Martini.
I take the lazy way out..using store bought bottled borsht and horseradish.
Two tablespoons of bottled beet borsht
one teaspoon bottled horseradish
pinch of "good" salt
2-3 oz Vodka
add one cube of ice to the mix in a shaker
shake, shake, shake
Hi. My wife has done seeds both boiled and straight with oil.
Last week she did butternut squash seeds ..this way.
Wash them in water to clean and remove the strings.
Boil seeds in salted water for ten minutes...dry on paper towels..
Line a baking sheet and brush on oil to foil ...not on seeds.
then bake at 350 ...15-20 minutes..then salt to taste.
It was MUCH better than the old accepted method.
Enjoy !
slices? or just whole pies?
Pho Ho Saigon
320 W. Oregon Ave
Pho Ho Saigon
1100 S. Chris. Columbus Ave (at Washington Ave)
The place on Oregon Ave is WAY BACK in the shopping center.
It's a gem !
P.S. Janieinvc's comment is right on...as well. We use paper bags and throw them away.
Towels are just as good..but must be washed.....at least in our house.
Wow !! WRONG ON ALL COUNTS.
Bring a large pot with a small amount of salted water, seawater or one bottle of beer to a rolling boil.... insert steamer colander or grate into pot....place critters in the colander and cover with brown paper bags.......which seals and keeps steam moisture in the pot. Cook for ten minutes after water again begins to boil.
Enjoy lobster like a "Mainer"...not a Frenchman.
Sounds like a fancy suburban, white boy sandwich.
Ain't no hoagie !
The best Lobster Rolls are on Chebegue Island at a place called " Jan and Joes".
Great food and service.
Sorry ! It looked so good I really thought that it was Sarcones.
Mea Culpa. I owe you a Sarcone's slice.
That picture of a "Philadelphia Tomato Pie" comes from Sarcone's Bakery located on South 9th Street...in the heart of Philly's Italian Market.
It is WONDERFUL !! Lots of sauce, garlic and spices.
New York thin and crispy..it ain't.......it's MUCH better.
The Turkey stand at the Reading Terminal is called BASSETTS.
They also have an ice cream stand at the market with the worlds best...extra butterfat ice cream.
Yes, DiNics has great beef, pork and hoagies.
The Amish stands serve wonderful scrapple..(don't knock it till you try it)
and tripe sandwiches.
Add it to regular neighborhoods covered by S.Eats.
Do It !!

Originally written on Fox Sports Kansas City | Last updated 2/6/13
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Former Royals hitting coach Kevin Seitzer holds no bitterness toward the organization that fired him last October after four years on the job. But Seitzer does take issue with some of manager Ned Yosts comments regarding his overall hitting philosophy. I thought I left on very good terms with Ned, Seitzer told FOXSportsKansasCity.com. But I will disagree with something he said when it was announced I would be let go. He said my philosophy was a middle-of-the-field philosophy trying to get guys to just hit it up the middle and to the opposite field. Thats just not true. We went with the oppo-approach when we were down in the count, which is what all good hitters do. The key to being a good hitter is putting the ball in play you increase your odds dramatically by keeping the ball in play. And we did that. I saw a lot of these young guys really start to figure things out as the year went on. Yost also suggested that new hitting coach Jack Maloof might be able ...

It was supposed to be ladies' night Tuesday on American Idol, but a medical emergency had it raining men.
Crystal Bowersox, 24, required a trip to the hospital today due to complications related to diabetes, and was ordered by a doctor to not perform tonight.
So, the folks at Idol have willingly obliged (perhaps because Crystal was one of the few positive standouts last week) and will send the top 10 guys onstage tonight instead. The top 10 ladies will perform tomorrow night.

Means testing is a starting point
I have seen or heard many solutions to the problems with public employees, Social Security and Medicare on the Internet and on talk radio. Some are very sensible in my opinion.
The first thing we need to do is apply a "means test" to Social Security payments. Then establish rules requiring retirement as a condition of payments.
After this is done all people who derive their income from public employment should be enrolled in S.S. and Medicare. An exemption could be made for those nearing retirement soon. The same age requirements should apply to them.
The retirement funds of those folks should be rolled into S.S. and an accounting could be done to reimburse any worker who has from their own funds contributed more than would have been deducted for S.S. Most public workers have not paid their own share of pension funds completely anyway.
I am sure better minds than mine can devise a system to keep the best and brightest without regard to seniority in the event of staffing cuts.
Now that all this has been done I think union memberships should be voluntary and no payment to unions other than those who desire representation. This will be the hardest to do because union bosses know they will lose the huge amount they use to buy favor with those who sit across the table at contract negotiations.
When these things are done we can begin a meaningful discussion of campaign finance reform across the board. This is a fair and balanced solution.

Shame on Tressel and OSU
I am not a sports fan but I read with a great deal of interest the article on Jim Tressel. I am deeply disappointed in Mr. Tressel.
But once again a slap on the arm is given for both him and the five players involved. As far as I'm concerned they all should have been fired. As long as the punishment doesn't fit the crime we will continue to have more of the same. Its just a question of time.
What message does this send to everyone? There are so many people involved in this that did wrong. Dr. Gee should have insisted on harsher punishment. His University was being smeared. Ditto Mr. Smith.
I guess sports and the big money it brings in is more important than honor and decency. Jesus was correct when He said "the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil." I will never think of OSU in the same manner again.

Mr. Husted,
You apparently want to turn Social Security into a welfare program. Of alll of the crazy ideas to "fix" Social Security, means testing for Social Security is the worst. People pushing it (Pete Peterson et al) have been opposed to the entire concept and want the program to fail.
Actually, that idea has been around for a long time, started by Milton Friedman and espoused by the Chicago school of economics. For me it is prroof that the extermes reflect themselves better than the means in politics, as it is communism with a small "c."
Howver those of us who paid in have a legal right (not a privilege) to get what we have been paying to get. The way it works is that Social Security is like an insurance policy, and when you meet the terms and conditions set by law, you get it. Wall Street and some politicians have wanted our money for a long time. Are you one of them? If not, you are doing their bidding!
If you looked at the links above, retirement benefits are based on a "High 35" method. If a person has not paid into the fund for 35 years, and paid at the top amount of FICA tax, retirement amounts are decreased.
The retirement fund is fully funded for the next 26 years. That is because as surplusses were accumulated, the "debt" has risen. Actually, at the end of each year, the fund lends money to the general funds to run the government. However this is not debt as if a person went to a bank to get a mortgage. No service charges. No penalty clauses. No middleman. If you loan money to yourself it is a wash for bookkeeing purposes.

Sonia it sounds like the rootstock has taken over from your
Time to dig it up .....
Its a pain though when you acquire a plant you really want only to discover its the wrong one.
I agree though, it's very nice Sara
Sundance will be fine in partial shade but won't flower much if at all
But not bed fairy............
How about the coloured stemmed dogwoods?
Eucalyptus too during the winter....ESP good next to dogwoods.
To add to previously suggested, brunneras, variegared Arabis, Phormiums, hellebores. Winter honeysuckle, primroses...often early....pittosporums come in purple,,grey, golden,,almost white foliage. Heathers, the winter ones, are available in foliage colours amd flower throughout the winter. Coronilla varieties. Conifers ....small and compact like juniperus blue star, dwarf vsrieties of cryptomerias, the yews....all provide colour during the winter. Some grasses, carex ever gold, uncinia unciniata rubra, carex buchanii, etc., ophiopogon nigrescens, liriope, Libertia all are good for winter colour.
That's weird Fairy. Jacksons were excellent early in the year replacing plamts that weren't up to much and actually giving me more. Then this buddleia!
Its my way to argue, haggle, demand my rights......you should have seen me in a shoe shop when the store refused to refund my money! A heated "discussion" with the manager ended with a win.......for me. Of course. However, I can use both buddleias and white profusion is available easily anyway.
I just pull down a branch and remove almost half of it sometimes. Just done and a compact buddleia with more flowers then to come
Like fairy I value foliage in the garden....whether its colour or shape.
White flowers always look awful when going over......because its such a pristine colour anything less than perfect shows up. So on buddleia, dahlia,whatever, removal of the offending decline is a priority for me
Slightly annoyed....a buddleia white profusion planted behind bishop of llandaff dahlia is not white profusion. Looks good but purple blue. Unlike me not to complain, but the online supplier has been excellent this year in replacing other stuff that failed that I think I will take the hit on this one and say nowt. I will move this buddleia in autumn and plant somewhere else and get white profusion as intended. Will have to id the blue one though
MrsGarden, couldn't make out that word No bad language here please, not with my sensitivities. my sensitivities are very sensitive ! Your garden sounds very good though to get comments like that.
Nkce day yesterday and is again today despite rain forecasts.
Most of my dahlias are in full flower but twynings after eight, although with a few blooms....and plenty of buds......is disappointingly late this year. It makes a nice white (on black) mass amongst heleniums, lobelias, salvias and the like so, come on twynings.
Hello Badder
Not sure about those white patches but suspect powdery mildew.
In any case those brown leaves I'm sure are caused by being a lIttle too dry. Not frequent or daily watering but a good watering now and then is the solution to this and powdery mildew.

TJ Oshie Should Just Stick To Hockey

TJ Oshie rocked the world in the Olympics and maybe he should stick to his forte, of which golf is clearly not. He became an overnight sensation scoring four goals against Russia in a shootout.
Oshie was representing the NHL during the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe and this should remind him why he doesn't play golf. Yeah, just stick with hockey.

What's wrong with Tiger Woods' game?
Updated: March 9, 2011, 5:44 PM ETBy Bob Harig | ESPN.com
DORAL, Fla. -- The Blue Monster has been anything but scary to Tiger Woods over the years, another in a long line of golf courses where he has dominated. Three victories at Doral and never out of the top 10 neatly sums up his success.
Such history at a particular venue all but meant you could pencil in another high finish, perhaps even a victory, when Woods returned.
Of course such history has been unkind to Woods over the past year, from St. Andrews to Firestone to ...
