The Tater Tot Challenge - Making your own home made tater tots
Just about every day Jinny and I excitedly plan our dinners far in advance. We both delight in the whole process. Making dinner together is our jam and pretty much every night is date night. I live a wonderful, charmed life let me tell you what. Anyway. Yesterday was burger night, one of our staple go-to meals. Usually we'll get a big pack of meat from Costco and grind our own hamburger, storing it in Foodsaver bags in the freezer. Add seasoning, shape into patty, fry. Suuuuper easy, but man cannot live on burgers alone! No, sir. We need the Robin to burgers' Batman. We need tots.
Normally I'd have a bag of Ore-Ida™ Brand Tater-Tots™ in the freezer for these occasions, but alas we were out. Not keen on leaving the house, I thought "how hard can making homemade tater tots be?" The answer? Not very hard at all. After consulting the hive mind (thanks, Papapishu!) I concocted a recipe that actually ended up kicking serious amounts of ass. See that photo up there? That's how much ass I kicked. The tots came out crispy on the outside and nice and tender in the middle, just like tots are supposed to be. Though most tots are made through an extruder, I sculpted these by hand. They came out looking like tots you might see as a canapé at a fancy restaurant. I could see serving these at a party, or even just as we did last night - alongside a really great hamburger. Here's what went in 'em!
Chris Furniss' Fancy Tots (worst band name ever?)
(measurements are approximate, adjust as you see fit. Maybe one day I'll actually measure this stuff in grams or whatever)
4 medium sized russet potatoes
1 cup Flour
1/4 cup minced Shallot (onion can be substituted, but shallots are best)
1 tablespoon Salt
1 tablespoon Pepper
Dash of Cayenne pepper
1. Grate the potatoes either with a mandoline slicer or a normal grater. Chop into smaller pieces. The point is to get nice, small slivers of potato. Work quickly so the potatoes don't oxidize. Grate onto a paper towel or put into a salad spinner to draw out moisture.
2. Add the potatoes and the rest of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly with your hands. Start to squeeze some of the mixture into your palm like you're making a snowball. If it's sticking together, good! If not, add a bit more flour.
3. Get your fryer goin'. A deep fryer works best, but if you don't have one you can always do a shallow fry in a pan with a lot of vegetable oil. Heat the oil to around 350 degrees.
4. Shape your tots. Squeeze a little bit into your palm and push it together. I tried to make them slightly cylindrical to look more like the classic tot shape, but just as long as you keep them small and uniform the shape is up to you. Place each finished tot on a baking sheet to fry in batches, or drop each finished tot directly into the oil. Cook for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown and delicious.
5. Remove from fryer onto a baking sheet with a wire cooling rack, or onto paper towels to drain. Be sure to season liberally right when they come out so they can absorb the seasoning better. A little sprinkle of kosher salt is good, or you could go all out and use some seasoned salt or even (gasp!) bacon salt. Keep in a warm oven until time to serve!
For dipping, I usually gravitate toward Ranch dressing, but I could see a nice homemade mayo or even some sriracha playing quite nicely with these gems. Just don't disgrace them with ketchup, please. I mean, seriously. If you try these, let me know what you think! I'm contemplating making a big batch and then freezing them myself. They were just too delicious to go back to Ore-Ida™.
There! The Tater Tot mystery is solved. You're welcome.

Nine months until Election Day and the race for Albuquerque mayor is already on.
Former city councilor and public safety officer Pete Dinelli is running.
Dinelli will make it official on Sunday at his home in Albuquerque.
He ran for mayor 24 years ago, but is trying his hand at the job again.
"I never have lost the desire," he said. "The fire is very much alive and this has been an ambition of mine for at least 24 years."
Albuquerque Mayor Richard Berry could not be reached for comment to learn his plans for the election.
Several other people are still weighing a run for mayor.
The election is in October.

In my game, the player can jump through hoops which adds to the player's current velocity. On contact, each hoop passes a Vector3 to the player script, however, if I tilt the hoop to create angled jumps, the Vector3 passed does not change, so the player is thrown in world space. Is there any way to change the Vector3 passed from the hoop depending on its angle so that the angle affects the direction of the jump? Thanks!
Here's the hoop script.

I suggest you to change the idea a little: define a float speed in the hoop script, then pass the velocity vector as transform.up multiplied by this speed. It makes things a lot easier, since you know that the speed may have different intensities, but will always point the up side of each hoop - just tilt each hoop to the orientation you want:
var velocityToAdd: float = 10;
function OnTriggerEnter (myTrigger : Collider) { if(myTrigger.gameObject.name == "Player"){ gameScript.addVelocity(transform.up * velocityToAdd); Destroy(gameObject); } }

The site is in joint ownership between two brothers. Project Orange were approached with a tripartite brief; to redevelop the rear of the site to create a new family home, to upgrade and renovate the buildings onto the street and convert them into rental apartments, and to retain and renovate the existing ground floor business use to 115, extending it into 117 (taking over a café premises on a leasehold). The client's aim was to minimise disruption to trade of the office during building work. The private house should offer almost 3 times the floor area of the existing, and the new apartments provide the maximum rental income achievable from the site.

|This article contains content that is written like an advertisement. (March 2014)
Copywriting is written content conveyed through online media and print materials. Copy is content primarily used for the purpose of advertising or marketing. This type of written material is often used to persuade a person or group as well as raise brand awareness.
Copywriters (known as continuity writers in broadcasting) are used to help create direct mail pieces, taglines, jingle lyrics, web page content (although if the purpose is not ultimately promotional, its author might prefer to be called a content writer), online ads, e-mail and other Internet content, television or radio commercial scripts, press releases, white papers, catalogs, billboards, brochures, postcards, sales letters, and other marketing communications media pages. In book publishing, flap copy and jacket flap copy are terms for the brief summary of a book which often appears on the inside of the book's hardcover dust jacket; back cover copy is similar, often briefer text placed on the book's outside back cover; catalog copy is another book summary maintained in a publisher's catalog of published books. Copy can also appear in social media content including blog posts, tweets, and social-networking site posts.
Most copywriters are employed within organizations such as advertising agencies, public relations firms, company advertising departments, large stores, marketing firms, broadcasters and cable providers, newspapers, book publishers, magazines and creative agencies. Copywriters can also be independent contractors who do freelance writing for a variety of clients, at the clients' offices or working from their own, or partners or employees in a specialized copywriting agency. Such agencies combine copywriting services with a range of editorial and associated services that may include positioning and messaging consulting, social media and SEO consulting, developmental editing, and copy editing, proofreading, fact checking, layout, and design. A copywriting agency most often serves large corporations.
A copywriter usually works as part of a creative team. Advertising agencies partner copywriters with art directors. The copywriter contributes in creating an advertisement's verbal or textual content, which often includes receiving the copy information from the client. The copywriter is responsible for producing compelling and persuasive content and the art director has ultimate responsibility for visual communication and, particularly in the case of print work, may oversee production. Although, in many instances, either person may come up with the overall idea for the advertisement or commercial (typically referred to as the concept) and the process of collaboration often improves the work.
Copywriters are similar to technical writers and the careers may overlap. Broadly speaking, however, technical writing is dedicated to informing readers rather than persuading them. For example, a copywriter writes an ad to sell a car, while a technical writer writes the operator's manual explaining how to use it. Famous copywriters include Dashiell Hammett, Claude Hopkins, David Ogilvy, Robert Collier, William Bernbach, Lester Wunderman, and Leo Burnett. Many creative artists spent some of their career as copywriters before becoming famous, including Bob Newhart, Vladimir Mayakovsky, Peter Carey, Dorothy L. Sayers, Eric Ambler, Joseph Heller, Terry Gilliam, William S. Burroughs, Salman Rushdie, Don DeLillo, Lawrence Kasdan, Alan Parker, Murray Walker, Fay Weldon, Philip Kerr and Shigesato Itoi. (Herschell Gordon Lewis, on the other hand, became famous for directing violent exploitation films, then became a very successful copywriter.)
The Internet has expanded the range of copywriting opportunities to include web content, ads, emails, blogs, social media and other forms of electronic communications. Writing for the web is very different from writing for other media, tending to be more succinct than traditional advertising. Other stylistic nuances also come into play. It has also brought new opportunities for copywriters to learn their craft, conduct research and view others' work. The Internet has also made it easier for employers, copywriters and art directors to find each other.
As a consequence of these factors, along with increased use of independent contractors and virtual commuting generally, freelancing has become a more viable job option, particularly in certain copywriting specialties and markets.
Web copy may include, among its other objectives, the achievement of higher rankings in search engines. Known as "organic" search engine optimization (SEO), this practice involves the strategic placement and repetition of keywords and keyword phrases on web pages, writing in a manner that human readers would consider normal.
SEO copywriting, when done correctly, can be highly beneficial for the website and the reader. Keywords themselves have given way, in large part, to so called long-tail keywords.
Copywriting Ethics[edit]
Much like traditional journalist writers, a good copywriter will write and produce work that follows a code of ethics. Whether it is freelance work or contributing to the creative process within an organization, ethical content should always be present. With so many types of new media present in today's writing industry, making sure that you are educated with journalism ethics and standards as well as a code of ethics in media when producing online content is crucial.
Some main points to remember when writing ethical content are:
Honesty- Sharing information that is truthful and accurate is a hallmark of an ethical writer. It is the responsibility of the writer to ensure accurate content.
Plagiarism- Plagiarism should be avoided at all costs. A successful copywriter will create unique content for their clients.
Integrity- Biased reviews and content that is generated to skew perception should be addressed carefully. This type of content does not convey a truthful message or compel the reader/viewer to form an individual understanding of the message.
Reliability- Rule number one for a successful copywriter is the ability to be relied upon. It is good business to operate in a way that delivers content in the time frame agreed upon.
Kindness- Writing in a way that does not slander a group or individual is to operate ethically. It is best practice to convey information that is factual.

COVINGTON - The Covington/Newton County Special Investigations Unit paid a second official visit Thursday to the flea market known as the International Merchandise Mart on Salem Road and came away with more than $100,000 in counterfeit merchandise.This was not the first time agents with the unit had served search warrants and made arrests at the facility. In December 2007, the unit arrested 38 people and confiscated thousands of dollars of phony name brand items, as well. "It was SIU's first case, and we found out it's still going on," SIU Commander Lt. Philip Bradford said. Three individuals were arrested Thursday - two of whom faced felony charges as a result of the first raid. One of the men has been convicted and was on probation and the other has yet to go to court on the first charges. Charged with trafficking in counterfeit merchandise, including such items as Nike tennis shoes, Coogi and Polo shirts, pants, pocketbooks and Major League Baseball hats and shirts, were: · Mussie Asha, 27, of 155 Plantation Circle, Clarkston; · Girmawork Abebe, 44, 2035 Idlewood Road, Tucker; · Kidist Demedema, 27, 2035 Idlewood Road, Tucker. Bradford said undercover agents had gone in and purchased merchandise, which had been certified by shoe and clothing manufacturers as being counterfeit. "If you have over $10,000 worth of articles, and that's what the company says it's worth, it's a felony," he said. "In other words if they're selling a pair of shoes for $30, but Nike sells them for $100, the value is what the real item would cost." Abebe was found with 332 pairs of fake shoes and Asha had 425 pairs of counterfeit shoes. "Just in shoes alone, if we were conservative and said they were $75 a pair, that's $24,750 worth of shoes for Abebe and $31,800 for Asha," Bradford said. Bradford said federal charges against the three were being looked at by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). "They are not citizens of this country. They are here on visas," Bradford said, adding that it is believed the suspects are from Ethiopia. Bradford said the owner of the flea market said this was the last time such nefarious business dealings would be found at her business. "The owners of that flea market had no knowledge or participation in the operation of this counterfeit clothing or shoe line," he said. "They do not condone it and vowed it would not happen again. The owner said she wants to bring another type of vendor into the market that's community-friendly."

The Office of Insular Affairs Requests $457.7 Million for Assistance to the Insular Areas In the President's FY 2011 Budget Request
For more information please contact:
Frank Quimby (202) 208-6416
Tanya Harris Joshua (202) 208-6008
WASHINGTON, D.C. – President Obama has proposed a budget of $457.7 million for the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA) in fiscal year 2011. The current appropriations request includes $59.3 million in discretionary funding and $27.7 million in mandatory funding. In addition, $370.8 million in permanent and indefinite appropriations is estimated for FY 2011 for fiscal payments and payments under the Compacts of Free Association.
"The Office will pursue strategies that foster economic development, lead to the adoption of renewable energy technologies, promote sound financial management in the insular governments, and improve the quality of life for islanders while respecting and preserving their native cultures," said Assistant Secretary for Insular Areas Tony Babauta.
The $59.3 slated for discretionary programs under the FY 2011 budget request will address a variety of technical assistance and facilities maintenance programs in the U.S.-affiliated islands communities. Discretionary funding will also support efforts to control the invasive Brown Treesnake on Guam; assist coral reef conservation initiatives; support water and wastewater projects; help insular governments improve their management control; and support the operations of the American Samoa Government.
Permanent appropriations for FY 2011 include $146.0 million in payments to Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands and $224.8 million in Compact of Free Association payments to the Freely Associated States. Guam is slated to receive $39.0 million in taxes collected in the territory via the IRS code that are transferred to the Government of Guam. The U.S. Virgin Islands is scheduled to receive $107.0 million for federal taxes collected on distilled spirits in the territory that are transferred to the local government.
Permanent appropriation for the Freely Associated States which is mandated under the Compacts of Free Association includes $67.3 million for the Republic of the Marshall Islands and $105.8 million for the Federated States of Micronesia. The 2011 budget also contains a placeholder in recognition of the ongoing review of the relationship between the U.S. and the Republic of Palau.
New for 2011, OIA is requesting $5.0 million for the Empowering Insular Communities program. This program is designed to 1.) Strengthen the foundations for economic development in the islands by addressing challenges preventing reliable delivery of critical services needed to attract investment; and 2.) Pursue economic development initiatives that encourage private sector investment in the insular areas. In FY 2011, program funds may be used to address two critical public service delivery issues, upgrading civilian infrastructure on Guam in preparation for the military relocation and the creation and implementation of comprehensive renewable energy strategies in the insular areas.
The Office of Insular Affairs strives to empower insular communities so they can overcome inherent challenges to insular areas and seize upon opportunities as they arise.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Right on the beach, between downtown and North Myrtle Beach
The hotel is right on the sand, just north of Downtown Myrtle Beach. It sits on a somewhat busy street, but there are sidewalks for the many tourists who are staying in the area.
Myrtle Beach is continually ranked as one of America's best family beach destinations, and offers visitors one-of-a-kind nightlife, more than 100 golf courses, and 60 miles of sandy shoreline. It's known to get a bit jam-packed, although the off-season brings smaller crowds -- but not those high southern temps ideal for sunbathing.
Right on the beach, the Grande Shores offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom condos, all with full kitchens and at least a partial ocean view. The rooms are pretty run-down, with dated decor, low-quality bedspreads and thin mattresses -- but perks like free Wi-Fi and free parking add value. The three pools aren't the most exciting in Myrtle Beach, but they're spread out, which helps diffuse the crowds. It's a so-so option for travelers on a budget.

PartSelect Number PS6447706
Sold individually. There are 2 per dryer. They attach to the outer-most sides of the bearing. Manufacture recommends to replace both slides at the same time.
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Level of DifficultyA Bit Difficult
Time to do repair:15 - 30 mins
ToolsScrew drivers
CustomerStephen from CORNWALL NY
I first removed four screws above the door opening to lift off the top, then removed two screws, near the top, inside the front, to remove the front. There I found that 2 grey plastic and one white plastic anti-friction strips were worn to nothing (even the large plastic bezel that incorporates the light was starting to wear away, from just a few days!).When I went to put the front back on, i couldn't get the lip of the drum to ride properly on the felt. In fiddling with it, the drum fell off the rear bearing, too, so I put it back on.So I ordered new felt, two white and two grey strips (I didn't know if 1 or 2 were in each $8 "kit"--only one per kit), a spare belt--just in case--and some bulbs.Putting the strips on was easy--15 seconds each. Putting on the felt took all of 20 seconds. I spent more time scraping off the dust and vacuuming things out!The drum fit over the felt quite easily now, and when I ran it, it was wonderfully quiet. For a minute! Then, it started making a new, grinding noise!I had a Sears repairman friend come over, and he found that a small platic bushing had fallen off the rear bearing element. Once he put that in place, it all worked perfectly. Beautifully quiet!

CustomerJames from Beaufort NC
Opening the dryer door and removed the two screws located at the top of the opening. Pop off top lid of dryer by lifting up on front, and slide forward. I needed to break it loose by prying it up with a screw driver (use light pressure, be careful not to bend/scrape top), as it was first time every being removed. Remove two screws at top of front panel, hold up drum, and pull front panel forward. Unplug electrical cable to door, and removed front panel. Removed and replaced all four slides (2 Green slides & 2 Clear slides). Removed felt drum seal and replaced by lightly pushing in slots (couple of very light pushes using a screw driver was also needed). Placed front panel back on slots at bottom of dryer (REMEBER TO PLUG IN DOOR SWITCH), lifting (lightly) up on drum, and push in place, replaced all parts in reverse order. Top was a little tricky getting back on, but with a little push it snapped in place. Plugged in dryer performed test run everything worked perfect. Thanks to PartsSelect for their quick response to my order, you are definitely on my favorites listing for any future repairs and/or help.
CustomerTony Klancic from Philadelphia PA
Took the front of the dryer off to expose drum area and replaced parts needed and reinstalled cover one of the easiest repairs i have ever done.
Level of DifficultyEasy
Time to do repair:30 - 60 mins
CustomerTod from Cherry Valley CA
remove to screws in front to take of top. Then remove two screws holding the face on. change parts re assebmle. extra hands nice for holding drum while remounting face. Nice and quiet now.
CustomerRICHARD from YORKVILLE IL
I followed other users comments and it was simple-four screws to unloosen the front panel and lift up the top and access the drum bearing. Two people makes it much easier to hold the door etc. Especially helpful was one's user info on where the two different slides went which was not well depicted on the drawings. The drum bearing snapped out with some pressure using your hands and snapped back in easily. The noise is gone!!!
ToolsScrew drivers, Socket set
CustomerJoseph from Mullica hill NJ
Replacing the dryer drum slide took the most time. Opened the dryer door and removed two upper screws that held the frong section of the dryer. Lifete dthe barrel and remove dthe front cover. replaced the drum slides no probelm. Found other components faulty, placed order

Honest, spring is on the way
Mar. 18, 2014 @ 07:00 PM
Calendars declare spring ready to begin on Thursday.
Outside the last two days to begin this week, the weather doesn't appear to agree.
Residents of the Tri-County dealt with yet another round of winter weather Monday and Tuesday, including some frozen patches on roads, sidewalks and power lines. Schools were delayed and other schedules altered.
Warmer weather is in the forecast later in the week.

Works In Progress
Continuing to work on these sculptures, and a couple more not shown.
Short attention span theater... Also not digging on the paint job on the centaur, which has been taking a beating and been a decent sport about it....

A Milan High School student was arrested and charged Monday with two felonies for allegedly making threats on his Facebook page about blowing up a wing at the school.
Anthony E. Caputo, 17, of Ypsilanti, a senior at the high school, was charged with using a computer to convey a threat and making a false bomb threat. As of Monday afternoon, he could not post a $5,000 bond and remained in the Monroe County jail. He was arraigned before First District Judge Terrence Bronson, who set the bond.
The threat was posted on Oct. 8, but school officials were not notified about the message until Sunday. Milan Area Schools Supt. Bryan Girbach has notified parents about the incident. There were no school-time disruptions associated with the threat.
"While the district cannot monitor the entire Internet, we react when social media issues are brought to our attention," Mr. Girbach said in a news release.
On his Facebook page, Anthony reportedly made a reference to PBL, or Problem Based Learning, a teaching method in which students work in groups to solve solutions while developing academic skills.
"You don't know what it's like," the teen's post read. "I constantly fantasize of blowing up the wing as I walk away with the explosions behind me … ."
When a Facebook friend stated that was a bomb threat, a post on Anthony's page responded.
"Yes, let me make it more clear," the post read. "I Anthony Caputo will bomb the new project based learning wing of Milan."
He then added: "let the suspension begin! Maybe now I won't have to come back to this god forsaken wing again."
Milan police investigated the school grounds Monday morning searching the high school and its exterior.
"The search was finalized prior to the arrival of the students, and as expected, did not find anything out of the ordinary," Mr. Girbach continued. "The Chief and I were, and remain, confident that the students and staff of MHS are safe."
School was held as planned on Monday.
"Please know that I would never allow the students or staff to be in harm's way," he said. "Safety is always my No. 1 concern."
Monroe County Chief Assistant Prosecutor Joseph A. Costello Jr. said a warrant was issued and Milan Police went to Anthony's home where he reportedly confessed to making the threats and was taken into custody.
Mr. Costello said some of the Facebook entries were lines taken from the "Dark Night" Batman movie. He said the young suspect reportedly made the comment because he told officials he was bored. Mr. Costello said felony charges were appropriate because threatening messages on Facebook or other social media can have consequences.
"We need to convey to others that this is not going to be tolerated," Mr. Costello said. "We need to send a message."
Using a computer to convey a threat carries a maximum penalty of seven years in prison while making a false bomb threat carries four years. The teenager is scheduled to be in court for his preliminary examination at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 24.

Yesterday at MLB Trade Rumors Steve Adams looked back at the trade that sent Zack Greinke from the Royals to Brewers. This got me thinking. We haven't seen the career trajectories of the prospects in the deal yet, but we're several months removed from the deal that made Zack Greinke an Angel, and it isn't too early to take another look at the deal.
Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and it's easy to say that the Angels' decision to trade for Zack Greinke last season wasn't the right call; the team's goal was to make a push for the postseason–and a World Series–and it failed. But it isn't that simple. The team also gave up a trio of legitimate prospects, and lost Greinke to the Dodgers in free agency this offseason. It was a big risk, but the Angels assumed bounce-back performances from some of their players down the stretch, and assumed that Greinke would put them over the top. The thinking makes sense, even if you don't agree that the risk was worth it, which is something we'll address in a minute.
At the time, I liked the trade a lot. The club had a long-term option at shortstop in Erick Aybar, so trading Jean Segura wasn't a major issue. The rotation would be excellent with Greinke, and so trading Ariel Pena and Johnny Hellweg didn't seem to hurt so bad, especially given the concerns about both prospects. Three good prospects for two months of a borderline #1 starter might not make sense in a vacuum, but the Angels' circumstances made the move justifiable, at least in my opinion at the time.
Today, I look back at the trade and I think the Angels made a huge mistake. It was July 27, and the team was atop the Wild Card standings, four games behind the Rangers (five in the loss column) and just inches ahead of the A's, White Sox, and Tigers. There were several Halos battling injuries:
- Erick Aybar (on DL with hairline fracture on big toe)
- Dan Haren (fresh off the DL with a lower back injury)
- Scott Downs (hit the DL the next day with a shoulder injury)
- Jered Weaver (a month removed from the DL with a back injury)
- Chris Iannetta (would come off the DL the next day after the wrist injury)
- CJ Wilson (missed a start with a blister, which the team might have used to disguise discomfort in his elbow)
You could contest the listing of Wilson's injury, but the left-hander has stated this offseason that discomfort in his elbow affected his performance down the stretch. Maybe the Angels knew about that, or maybe they didn't, but either way, the club was relying on the health and performance of a group of uncertain players. Maybe the team was counting on the sustained emergences of Mark Trumbo and Mike Trout, the continued rebound of Albert Pujols, Ervin Santana's turnaround, and a shaky bullpen putting things together.
If everything went the right way, it should have worked, but there were so many uncertainties. Assuming that Greinke would put the team over the top was a very shaky assumption. At the time I didn't see past the potential; the team could have been amazing, but the group had so many red flags, and only two months to shine. In hindsight–which is still at least 20/20–the Greinke addition was pretty unlikely to put the Halos over the top.
Adding Greinke clearly made the team better, and the trade would be easily justifiable if the prospects weren't potential impact players…but they are. Since that trade, I've received glowing reports on Jean Segura and Johnny Hellweg.
Although I've attempted to better myself at the craft of scouting over the past couple years, I'm not a scout. And I'm only going off of what I've seen of Segura on TV, so my opinions might be a bit flawed, but I think Segura is a future plus defender at shortstop; he has the arm, the range, and the instincts. He's a plus-plus runner, with plenty of raw power. If he's an average hitter, Segura is a star. In other words, I expect him to make $510,000 after his first full season.
I've received great reports on Johnny Hellweg. The general thinking is that he has the makings of a middle-of-the-rotation starter, but is likely to end up as a late-inning reliever because he struggles to repeat his delivery and command his arsenal. The Angels have use for No. 3 starters and late-inning relievers.
Oh, and Ariel Pena might be a very solid back-of-the-rotation starter.
Put it all together, and the Angels gave up quite a haul to boost their playoff chances minimally. The trade hurts already, and if the prospects in the deal reach their ceilings, this could become a defining point in the Dipoto regime.

E Timor can't stop us, says Woodside chief
Woodside chief executive Don Voelte has told East Timor it cannot legally block a decision by a Woodside-led consortium to process Timor Sea gas offshore rather than in Dili.
Mr Voelte said the tiny nation of 1 million people was bound by the treaty it signed with Australia in 2006, under which the Sunrise gasfields were to be developed in line with best commercial advantage.
He said the treaty was "very defined, not done under duress and done with much due diligence".
"They're walking away from it now?" Mr Voelte said during a joint press conference with Northern Territory Chief Minister Paul Henderson yesterday.
"I don't think it's going to work. It'll do them a lot of damage."
East Timor's leaders have repeatedly demanded Sunrise gas be piped to a processing plant in East Timor.
They have threatened to block the floating platform concept and the alternative of piping the gas to production facilities in Darwin.

Mr Voelte said claims made by the Timorese regulator that Woodside had breached its legal obligations by failing to disclose reports and findings on all three possible development plans were "absolutely false". He said a field development report would be submitted to regulators next week.

Developing storylines for Friday night's Eagles preseason tilt with the Patriots in New England:
Mark Sanchez
Can this guy be for real? Sanchez, a national punchline for his last few years and punching bag for Jets fans and media, has really put together a nice camp. He played well in the preseason opener, completing 7 of 10 passes for 79 yards with the second string. We haven't seen the rampant turnovers, bad decisions and woeful inaccuracy that he showed in his two-year regression up the Turnpike. History says the Eagles will need Sanchez at some point this season. He's already the unquestioned No. 2 behind Nick Foles, but fans might feel a little better about the backup situation if Sanchez can have another nice preseason outing.

It remains to be seen if the Eagles will be any better covering tight ends, slot receivers and running backs out of the backfield, an area where they struggled last year, especially at the linebacker and safety level. It's slightly alarming that Bears tight end Zach Miller caught two touchdowns against the Eagles on virtually the same route in the opener. The Patriots have crafty possession receivers in Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola and like to get running backs Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen involved in the passing game, so this should be another good test for DeMeco Ryans, Mychal Kendricks and co.
Fletcher Cox
Hello? You there, Fletch? Been kind of a quiet camp for you, buddy. No reason yet to be alarmed that we haven't really heard much from the 12th overall pick from 2012, but it sure would be nice to see him make a play or two against the Patriots. Cox is entering a big third season and is among several young players who'll be eligible for a contract extension after the year. After a slow September last year, he really came into his own and emerged into a force on the defensive line, leading the defense with 21 pressures. He had only three sacks, so that's an area where he needs to improve. A few hits on Tom Brady might help us remember he's out there.

Evangelical leader Richard Land on Sunday urged presidential candidate Rick Santorum to exit the Republican nomination race and save face for a future White House run.
"As his friend, I would say to him you know, you ought to seriously consider leaving the race now," Land said during an appearance on CBS's Face the Nation. "In eight years he'll be three years younger than Romney is now.
"But you know, running for president is a very personal decision, when to get out is a very personal decision, and he's going to have to make that," he added.
Land, a leader of the Southern Baptist Convention, is among a number of prominent conservatives and Republicans to suggest of late that the former Pennsylvania senator end his campaign and let GOP front-runner Mitt Romney turn his attention to President Obama and the fall campaign.
Santorum, a crusader against abortion and gay marriage, has relied deeply on the evangelical community for support during his presidential campaign and he met with some of its leaders last week to discuss a path forward. Evangelicals are among the last Republican voters to hold out against Romney, who is Mormon and has held moderate positions on social issues in the past.

Featuring MAT(T) regulars Misty Blyleven and David Harlan on stage and directed by another MAT(T) stalwart, Adriana Sanchez, Oleanna is the devastating tale of what happens when we fail to communicate with one another. Carol (played by Blyleven)—a young, seemingly clueless, and struggling student—drops into her professor, John's (Harlan) office, for an unscheduled meeting to get help in his class. She is preoccupied with her grade, he with the pending purchase of his dream home and a recent tenure announcement. What seems like a friendly exchange between the two quickly escalates and spirals out of control when a campus "group" gets a hold of the story and words and events are twisted and turned. Set in an age of political correctness, this play spirals into tragedy as we watch both parties' inability and unwillingness to listen, as they both desperately cling to their own ideas, beliefs and interpretations of reality.

May 13,2014. I love LADY GAGA but I did not like this restaurant. The female bartender was complaining about all the Lady GAGA fans that go to the restaurant. The food was ok but not great. The price was reasonable. The waiter was nice. I love great food when I go out and this food was not great. I don't go to a restaurant to hear a staff member complaining.

They were booked but found a table for us. The ambiance is charming, the wait staff accommodating (food allergies, etc), although could be more attentive and the food was very good. I will certainly come back. You should give it a try

Let me tell you about my lunch experience at Joanne on Friday, May 25th. We were coming up on the holiday weekend. I wanted to take some of my employees out for a nice lunch before the long weekend. We were four people. When we arrived at 12:15 PM, we were the only customers in the whole restaurant. By the time we finished lunch, there was only one more table of two people that had come in. I only tell you this because it's not like they were so busy they couldn't take better care of us. There were only TWO occupied tables over the course of two hours. Lunch was a total disaster -- and a complete rip-off too!!! I ordered several appetizers for us to share and several main courses as well. We all sat at the table for nearly 40 minutes waiting for something to nibble on, anything at all. I asked for bread multiple times -- nothing. I mean nothing. I ordered a couple of salads for us to share. They charged me $9.00 additional as a "sharing fee". Please -- give me a break! When the main courses FINALLY arrived, they were ok -- but cold. I kid you not. I emailed and telephoned the General Manager when I got back to my office. It was obvious to me that he couldn't care less. He told me that they don't have bread at lunchtime, only at dinner. Seriously? His day chef told me that the food was hot when he cooked it, but that it must have gotten cold from the air conditioner vents that were blowing on our table. The General Manager made NO attempt to make things any better. He basically got very defensive, and would not accept any responsibility on the part of the restaurant for anything having been done wrong. In fact, in so many ways, he tried to blame ME (the customer) for the poor ob that they had all done. I was pretty surprised, to say the least. Not listening to your customers is the surest way of ruining your business. Dinner may be OK at "Joanne", but lunch is not worth the time or money -- at all. I spent $170 for lunch there (food only, no alcohol) -- a total waste!

We had 8pm reservations on a Saturday night... didn't sit until closer to 9pm. The restaurant is not large - so for us to sit down at our table after waiting almost an hour and not have a server come over to us for 10 minutes is unacceptable. After several attempts to get a server's attention, a nice young lady (who apparently sings opera - you must hear her happy b-day rendition!) came over to greet us and take our drink orders. She was really nice, but that still didn't help the perpetually delinquent service. Finally another waiter came over and took our order (they were out of the lasagna amongst other things). To sum it up, appetizers were hit or miss and the main dishes were inedible. Meatball appetizers came out... they were unappetizing. The sauce was bland, - like they just poured canned tomatoes onto a plate! The meatballs were dry and almost inedible. Onto the main dishes... My wife had the eggplant parm, I had the bone-in rib eye, the couple we were with had a pasta and a chicken dish. Our friend's chicken dish smelled like stale vinegar and my wife's eggplant parm was unappetizing. The only thing you could taste was dry breadcrumbs. My steak came out medium well when I had ordered medium rare (seriously, how hard is that to screw up??) 30 minutes passes, NOBODY comes by to ask about everyone meals or why my food hadn't come out! Finally by 11pm, I've had it.. I get up and go speak with a manager to express my disappointment with our service/food.. he was very apologetic and said he would check on my food and make sure someone came by to correct the problems. Truly poor food.

During president Barack Obama's re-election campaign, Mitt Romney was taking in just enough votes to sneak past the Rick Santorum Iowa caucus. And if you didn't think Mr. President was a part of enough social media, this past month he has joined social photo app Instagram under the username barackobama. Instagram advertised its newest user in a blog post.
The Obama campaign invited its supporters to share their campaign photos using the tag #obama2012.
Obama won his credited part in social media activity in 2008, and thus his effort has continued. Last August, the White House joined Foursquare. About two months later, Obama launched a Tumblr page, 'Obama 2102.'
These profiles are also linked with the president's Twitter account, which has 11.7 million followers. They are also linked to his Facebook page, Google+ and Flickr account.
Many think that social media will likely play an important role in the presidential campaign, with his coverage included.

The 3-Season Lounger
Synonymously sexy and sophisticated, the chaise lounge represents the ultimate in luxe lounging.
From neo-classical French society to the decks of the Titanic to modern-day resorts and hotels,
this elongated chair sets the scene for relaxation and lets you - literally - kick up your
It may come naturally to think of these loungers as accessory seating to water scenes. They're perfect along the beach or lined up around the pool, right? That's true, but we've found the chaise lounge is enjoyable nearly year 'round. Read on for a look at the best way to enjoy your chaise in each season.
There's no better way to take in Spring's first blossoms than from the reclined position of a chaise lounge. This piece of furniture will afford you the best view of the trees coming back to life. Temps are rising and the sun is shining just a little brighter. It's the perfect time of year to get reacquainted with the outdoors.
Here's what you might need:
- Light jacket
- Romantic era poetry - we suggest Coleridge or Blake
- Cup of hot tea
- Stationary to catch up on traditional correspondence
- Binoculars for a better look at all the new life
- Lap dog
Warm air and sunshine - these are the things a chaise lounge loves best. In fact, some folks call the chaise lounge a sun lounger. The reclining feature of a chaise makes it perfect for browsing a gossip mag or lying flat for an afternoon nap. Any hotel pool would be remiss to forget the chaise lounges and no resort can claim to be a "paradise" if this staple piece of furniture is not present.
Here's what you might need:
- Swimsuit - sarong and other clothing optional
- Bare feet
- Sunglasses
- Chic sunhat
- Sunscreen … and more sunscreen
- NY Times Bestseller - the trashier the better
- Mimosas … and more Mimosas
- Your favorite tunes on your MP3 player
- A fabulous pedicure
The days get a little cooler and nature's colors are changing all around. This is a fantastic time to squeeze in one more slice of downtime before the harsh winter months start wearing away at you. Fall air has a clean feel to it that makes it perfect for napping, and just as with Spring, what better way is there to take in the changing trees, than from the reclined position of a chaise lounge?
Here's what you might need:
- A large blanket for wrapping around your body
- Chapstick
- Scarf, possibly a stocking cap
- A cup of hot cider or a great Fall beer
- Homemade breads or cookies
- Any horror fiction from Shelley to Poe to King
- Piles of leaves
A snow-covered chaise lounge really doesn't sound that enjoyable so this season might get short-changed. However, it is a wonderful opportunity to state the importance of storing any kind of outdoor furniture indoors during the winter when it's possible. If you have the space, put your patio furniture in a shed, a garage, or your basement to keep them out of the wet snow. This should lengthen the lifespan of your investments.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Back in the studio tonite, at 5:30 – 6pm. The topics will include THIS, as well as the market rally, Holiday Retail Sales activity, New Housing data, and of course, other more amusing economic data.
Guests include the forthright John Rutledge, and Art Laffer and Jim Huguet (author of Great Companies, Great Returns).
UPDATE: December 27, 2006 7:20pm
A classic example of "leaving it in the locker room." No only did I only get in two wishy washy sentences, but the best stuff came during the commercial breaks between segments.
We went over the long and short sectors, individual names, and nothing made it on the air.
Best line: the day I throw in the towel and flip Bullish, is the day you want to shor tthis market to all hell.
Better luck next year
A few random thoughts about these items:
1) Its the last week of the year, volume is thin, and mutual fund are having some fun.
2) November's new sales numbers are encouraging, but recall just how subject to revision this data is:
The Census Bureau counts a house as sold when the contract is signed. If a buyer cancels the contract, however, Census does not readjust the numbers. Thus, sales are overstated — and inventories understated — for the month the house is initially sold. (And when that house is sold, the reverse happens).
Note that the homebuilders have been reporting cancellations in the 30%+ area — you can see why these initial numbers are suspect.
3) The sharp 15.6% drop in mortgage applications reported by the Mortgage Bankers Association for purchase loan applications confirm implies that new Home Sales may be overstated. Wait for the revised New Home data.
4) Lastly, the following email comes to us via a Lennar sales person — note that these homes are being sold, with add-ons, at greatly reduced prices, and in some cases, at a loss (click for email)

Given our focus today on Retail sales this week, it is appropriate to reference another source of data on the consumer.
This commentary comes to us via Northern Trust's Paul Kasriel. Paul is the Senior Vice President and Director of Economic
Research at NT, and I had the pleasure of meeting him (and Caroline Baum) at Bloomberg last month. He is the recipient of the 2006 Lawrence R. Klein Award for Blue
Chip Forecasting Accuracy.
His recent commentary focused on the Fed's Flow-of-Funds data. It is rather insightful work into consumer debt and savings. Some of it might be a bit beyond the interest of many readers, so to make it more accessible, I did a little slicing and dicing. Here is my highly edited version, emphasizing The State of Consumer, by the Numbers:
Kasriel: I love the Fed's quarterly flow-of-funds report. It usually is the mother lode
of enlightening economic nuggets of information. And the Fed's latest release on
December 7 of third-quarter data was rich with these nuggets.
The slowdown in
borrowing was due principally to the household sector: Chart 2 shows that after
hitting a post-WWII high of 14.6% in Q3:2005, household borrowing relative to
disposable personal income (DPI) dropped to 8.8% in Q3:2006 – the lowest since
7.6% in Q3:2001, when the economy was in a recession.
Notice in Chart 2 that
precipitous declines in this percentage tend to be followed by the onset of
economic recessions (indicated by the shaded areas in the chart).

Which characters are examples for each aspect of an epic poem in The Song of Roland, including the feature of an epic hero who embodies the ideals off a particular nation or culture, the focus on the struggle for something of value to that culture, and the inclusion of a god/gods who intervene in the affairs of men, often to aid or punish the hero?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The first characteristic of an epic poem, the hero, has to be Roland. He's known for his bravery, volunteering for the most dangerous assignments.
Charlemagne would represent the second characteristic. He's the leader of the Frankish (French) forces. His purpose in the epic is to fight to regain lands lost to the "infidel", non-Christians.
Gabriel would represent the third characteristic. He is god's emissary and leader of the angels that help the French army. He also leads Roland's soul to Paradise after his death.
