There are a lot of Patterdale Terrier Breeders, and it is important to think about what you are looking for from the dog before you select from our list of Patterdale Terrier breeders.
There are different Patterdale Terrier Breeders out there breeding the dogs for different reasons.
Some Patterdale Terrier Breeders are breeding just for hunting skills, some breed Patterdales for size, some breed Patterdales for show dogs, some breed Patterdales for weight pulling, and some even just breed Patterdales for show dogs or the dogs collor.
So when you are shopping for Patterdale Terrier breeders its important to figure out why you want the dog and what you imagine yourself doing with the dog. Most Terrier breeders are hunters and use their dogs as working terriers. So they are breeding the patterdale terriers more for the way they preform and less for the way the look. Of course there is a loose breed standard but again these dogs are not breed usually to be show dogs. They are not AKC registered.
Below you will find a list of breeders that we recommend.
This is a California based Breeder.
This is a West Virgina based Breeder.
This is a German Patterdale Terrier Breeder.
David is based out of Tennessee. Do not call him Monday nights. That is bluegrass night he will not answer.
Pam has been a breeder for 20 plus years. She is located in California.
California Catchers
Don't know much about this breeder but he has some good pictures on his site.
These are the patterdale terrier breeders we recommend.

The Game Plan
How some people are saving for retirement—and what financial advisers think of those strategies

The Debt-Free Year
Eric Doss and Heather Prince Doss have grand plans for 2012: They intend to become debt-free.

After racking up more than $85,000 in student and car loans and credit-card debt, the Beaufort, S.C., couple is focused on bringing their balance to $0 (excluding their mortgage). They've already made a big dent, cutting their debt to $32,000 in the five years that they've been married. In that time, they have also put a down payment on a house, renovated the bathroom and kitchen and started saving for retirement.
To reach their debt goal, the Dosses are living entirely off the salary Ms. Doss, 29, makes as a Presbyterian minister. She earns $29,650 in cash and receives a $20,300 allowance for housing and utilities. Mr. Doss, 31, who works from home as an editor for an academic publishing company and teaches at a local college, is directing his earnings—about $46,320 gross— to loan payments.
The hope is that once they're out of debt, the couple will be able to afford to move abroad, where Ms. Doss could pursue missionary work, which likely won't pay very much.
The Dosses owe $1,100 a month on their mortgage and are paying more than the combined $460 minimum monthly requirements on their car payment and student loans. The couple also pays $200 a month to Ms. Doss's father, who extended a $10,000 interest-free loan to cover some of the home improvements. About half of that loan has been paid off.
The couple is sticking to a tight budget this year, shunning credit cards in favor of cash and cutting back significantly on meals out and travel. They will continue to keep a cash cushion of about $3,000.
Some sacred cows, namely charitable giving and education, aren't on the chopping block. The Dosses contribute about $400 a month to their alma maters, Ms. Doss's church and organizations for which friends might be raising money. They also pay about $2,500 annually in tuition toward Mr. Doss's online master's degree classes at Gonzaga University.
They're also not willing to abandon their retirement plans. Mr. Doss contributes 10% of his gross pay to his company's 401(k), with his $19,000 portfolio invested in domestic and international mutual funds. The company matches the first 3%. (He also has $5,400 in a 401(k) from a prior job.) Ms. Doss expects to receive a pension of at least $25,000 a year from the church upon retirement, though she's not sure of the exact payout.
ADVICE FROM THE PRO: The Dosses get "big, big kudos" for clearly defining their goals, says Charlie Capasso, a fee-only financial adviser at Detterbeck Wealth Management in Charleston, S.C. The fact that one of those goals is paying down their debt is all the more commendable.
Given the stock market's volatility and low returns on interest-bearing savings accounts, Mr. Capasso says it makes sense for the Dosses to focus on getting rid of their high-interest loans. Since strict budgeting is a necessary part of that plan, he says the couple should try to automate all their known monthly expenses, such as mortgage payments and utility bills, so it's even more obvious what will be left over for "lifestyle needs" like clothes or treats such as a dinner date.
Meanwhile, Mr. Capasso says he's worried about how much—or rather, how little—the couple has in short-term savings. Even though $3,000 would take care of daily expenses for a little while, he says they should really hold enough to cover them for four to six months in case of an emergency like a roof caving in or a car giving out. Mr. Capasso recommends they continue to live off Ms. Doss's earnings, but reroute some of Mr. Doss's paycheck to their savings account rather than put it entirely toward debt reduction.
It's great that Mr. Doss is eager to save for retirement, but Mr. Capasso says there might be a better way of building up the nest egg than directing quite so much of his pay into his 401(k). He recommends that Mr. Doss continue to contribute 3% of his pay to the account to receive his company's match, but steer at least some of the remaining 7% into a Roth IRA, which has additional tax benefits and increases investing flexibility.
The couple should also get a better handle on Ms. Doss's expected pension payout in order to plan how much they'll need to save for the long term.
Though the Dosses don't plan to have kids, Mr. Capasso says they should still be sure that their life insurance would cover funeral and other expenses to avoid burdening their extended families down the line.

A Surprise in the Mail
About three years ago, John Stewart and Karen Stewart received some surprising news.
John, 44 years old, and Karen, 41, received trust documents in the mail. They didn't understand what the documents meant at first, so they took them to their lawyer, who informed them Mr. Stewart's parents had set up a $1 million trust that Mr. Stewart and his wife will inherit after his parents are gone. "We were shocked and so grateful," says Ms. Stewart.
The Stewarts also found out John's parents had socked away $100,000 in a 529 plan for their young son's college education.
While they feel immense gratitude for the inheritance, they both continue to work and diligently save for retirement. "We need to set an example for our son," Ms. Stewart says.
The Stewarts work for the same employer, he as an engineer, she as a certified public accountant. They each max out their 401(k)s, which are invested mostly in equity mutual funds. Both have rollover IRAs from prior jobs and stash short-term cash in a money-market account. They also receive restricted stock, which they often use to fund their vacations.
The family lives in a 1981 ranch house in Portland, Ore., for which they continue to pay off the mortgage. The couple has about $20,000 in credit-card debt, mostly due to paying for tutoring services for their son, Seth, who is now seven years old. While the couple says the 4% interest rate on their credit card is low, they are looking to pay it off shortly and prefer to be free of any credit-card debt.
Being a CPA, Ms. Stewart keeps a close eye on the couple's spending, using a spreadsheet to track the couple's expected income and expenses.
While Mr. Stewart stays involved in the couple's financial decisions, he typically lets his wife handle the books. It's her area of expertise, he says, and she tends to be more conservative than him with money.
Still, the couple says communication is crucial. "We talk before we make a significant financial decision," says Mr. Stewart.
While both hope to work for at least 20 more years, they do have an eye on what they'd like to do in retirement. The couple would like to travel to Europe and explore parts of the Caribbean they haven't visited before. They also hope to have enough money saved to pay for potential health-care expenses and be able to afford to live in a continuing-care retirement community.
"Saving now gives us choices later," says Mr. Stewart.
ADVICE FROM THE PRO: The Stewarts are making a number of good choices, such as continuing to work and save for retirement even though they've received life-changing good news about their inheritance, says Shawn Koch, a Portland, Ore.-based fee-only certified financial planner.
"The couple's communication about their finances and joint decision-making about important financial matters is an excellent springboard for future planning," she says.
But given their inheritance trust, the couple may want to consider scaling back their retirement savings to more closely meet their immediate cash-flow needs, according to Ms. Koch. Doing so may help them pay off their credit-card debt sooner and save them from interest charges, she says. "Saving now does bring choices later, as Mr. Stewart says, but too much saving gives you fewer choices in the present," says Ms. Koch.
The couple should also focus on estate planning to take care of Seth and the management of his inheritance should they predecease him. In addition, the couple may want to consider boosting their short-term cash to pay for any additional educational needs for their son in the near future. In five to 10 years the couple may wish to look at long-term-care insurance and continuing-care retirement communities, she says.

Bricks-and-Mortar Investing
Erik Rusin doesn't feel comfortable investing in the stock market. He invests in real estate instead.
"People always tell the nightmare stories of land-lording, but I've had a really good experience," he says. "I've had really good luck with tenants over the years."
Mr. Rusin, 34, bought his first investment property in 2004 and now owns four properties near his Buffalo, N.Y., home. One is actually next door to the town house he bought for his own residence, close to Lake Erie.
But real estate is a side job for Mr. Rusin. He left a career in sports-advertising sales in January to join a corporate travel-management company that his mother founded. He plans to learn the business so that he can take over one day.
In his previous sales job, where pay was based purely on commission, Mr. Rusin took home an annual salary that was close to six figures. He expects that between his new base salary and commission, he could make the same this year.
Mr. Rusin's net profit from his income properties fluctuates depending on his rental income and the renovations he's doing. But it currently covers about 80% of the mortgage on his own residence.
"I'd love to get to a point where my rental properties are covering my living expenses," Mr. Rusin says.
He keeps about $10,000 in a cash savings account for emergencies. "There's always a concern when you own properties that there will be a big-ticket item that comes up," Mr. Rusin says.
Mr. Rusin was a scholarship athlete in college, a quarterback for the University at Buffalo, and therefore feels fortunate to not have any student-loan debt.
His long-term goal is to retire early, by age 55, to travel and play golf. He has been contributing to an employer-sponsored 401(k) retirement plan since 2004, socking away roughly 10% of his pre-tax income. That account is now in the mid-to-high five figures.
The funds had been allocated entirely in equities, but Mr. Rusin was concerned by the stock-market volatility last year and transferred his money into a less aggressive target-date fund.
For now, Mr. Rusin says he's done buying properties, and instead plans to increase his 401(k) contributions to 15% of his salary.
ADVICE FROM THE PRO: Mr. Rusin is making a smart decision by not buying any more properties, says Anthony Ogorek, a fee-only certified financial planner in Williamsville, N.Y. If Mr. Rusin wants to retire by age 55, "he'll need to be more aggressive in his savings goals and throttle back on the local real-estate investing," he says.
"The Buffalo area continues to experience a decline in population, and population growth is the No. 1 criteria for a healthy real-estate market," Mr. Ogorek says.
In addition, the area has some of the highest property taxes in the nation, which has been a drag on property-value appreciation in the past, he notes.
Mr. Ogorek suggests Mr. Rusin consider increasing his savings rate to 20% of his pay, held in a combination of a 401(k) plan and personal savings vehicles.
In terms of his retirement savings, Mr. Ogorek suggests a combination of a Roth IRA and a Roth 401(k) plan. Mr. Rusin wouldn't get an upfront tax deduction, but he would receive tax-free distributions at retirement.
Depending on how successful Mr. Rusin is with earning commissions, he may exceed the income limit for a Roth IRA, making him ineligible to contribute. But with the Roth 401(k) option, he can achieve more than triple the contribution ceiling of a Roth IRA without an income limitation.
Mr. Ogorek also suggests that Mr. Rusin beef up his emergency fund, especially considering that it is doing double duty for personal emergencies as well as those related to his income properties.
Mr. Rusin should have at least three months of his gross income in savings, Mr. Ogorek says. That may be difficult to peg since Mr. Rusin has just begun a new job and might not have a good idea of his commissions, but $30,000 in liquid cash savings or a short-term bond fund should be sufficient, Mr. Ogorek says. "And he needs to embrace the equity market and learn how to use it to his advantage," he adds.
Mr. Ogorek suggests Mr. Rusin consider allocating his 401(k), as well as any investments in excess of his emergency fund, in a global balanced fund that employs a stock index where he "can buy the entire market."
"In the short-term, the stock market is subject to the emotions of the day. Long term, it's a way to accumulate wealth," he says. "But if you get distracted by those short-term waves, it can make life difficult and unprofitable."

Corrections & Amplifications
Eric and Heather Prince Doss say they give about $400 a month to their alma maters, Ms. Doss's church and organizations for which friends might be raising money. A previous version of this article incorrectly said they contribute about $500 to $700 a year.

Thread: The Big Bad Wolf
Here's a fun question, If the Big Bad Wolf were a Rockabilly/Blues singer, what fragrance would he wear? I'm thinking along the lines of something musky woodsy spicy and dark, but with a sweet sensual edge, what do y'all think? ...and If this were some sort of weird cheesy 80's fantasy porno, what scent would his little red riding hood wear?
Méchant Loup by L'Artisan parfumeur means 'Angry Wolf' aka. Big Bad Wolf
Not quit sure, but it seems to fit want you want.

Penhaligon's Endymion - for the lure and the irony
interpretation is the revenge of the intellect upon art. - Susan Sontag
I always associate the 70ies/80ies Powerhouses with Rockabilly. Would it not have become an unpleasant clichee by now, I'd say Drakkar Noir. Kouros, Antaeus, Tuscan Leather maybe.
Little Red Riding Hood would wear some of those fragrances made for children, smelling like strawberry.
How about Encre Noire?
How can you forget physchobilly?

How can you forget physchobilly?
Clognefan85, I suppose if the big bad wolf was in a rockabilly band, then It would have to be psychobilly. Sig, I have Encre Noire, it's definitely dark, but I wouldn't say it's sensual or playful and tongue in cheek the way I would imagine a psychobilly big bad wolf to be wearing. I think I like the Idea of 80's powerhouse scents, maybe something sort of gothic with a bit of sweetness and spice. I like the idea of licorice in mechant loup, but I haven't smelled it yet. Lonestar memories sounds really intregring, thanks for that one, I'll have to check it out. Something loud would do, Drakkar noire might work, I don't think it's nearly as popular as it once was, and for good reason, but it might be just obnoxious enough for a roudy psychobilly wolf ;P

Bills in Cap Hell [10:07 AM]
CBS Sportsline reports: The Buffalo Bills, who have a new general manager and a new coach, will probably have a new look as well in 2001 because of a $12.7 million cap overage. Certainly the club will not be able to afford both Rob Johnson and Doug Flutie at quarterback and likely will be forced to sacrifice at least two defensive starters.
"Let's face it, we're hostage to the cap right now," said new president and general manager Tom Donahoe. "It's kind of like being in a cap jail. But you have to dig your way out and part of that is making tradeoffs. You have to ask yourself, 'If I keep the guy at this position, where do I scrimp to make up for it? Is there somewhere I have a young player ready to step up, a spot where I can let a veteran go and play the cheaper guy?' It's all about tough decisions and having to handle as many as possible in the right way."
Bills splurge now a purge [5:30 AM]
D and C reports: '[Ralph Wilson:] "This is second guessing by me, but we probably had people we should've cut but instead we retained and gave bonuses to in order to extend their contracts and get us down (under the cap)."'

Mystery and suspicion has surrounded the game so far; it's the MMO entry in a long series of single-player installments for a beloved IP, so players are anxious to see how the transition from single-player adventuring to massively online gaming will play out. Unfortunately, the build I saw used only a third-person perspective and excluded PvP, but I still got a solid look at the game.
ESO features a few creative limitations, such as the ability restriction. Characters can use only six abilities at one time, but the harmony of those effects pays off. Just like its single-player predecessors, the game ensures skill-leveling is use-based, but sadly the acrobatics skill won't see a return (sorry, no castle-jumping in MMOs).
Here's the part that intrigued me: At no point did the gameplay experience resemble an MMO. Sure, players weren't allowed to run rampant through NPC houses to steal everything in sight, and questing was still limited to "gather such item" or "talk to NPC B because NPC A doesn't feel like walking 10 feet" (those NPCs can be lazy!), but venturing out into the world felt natural, as if I were in any other Elder Scrolls title. The world is still populated with points of interest that actually generate interest. Players will find the nooks, crannies, hidden tunnels and decaying fortresses that dot the Tamriel landscape just as in the earlier games. There's a higher emphasis on exploration with ESO, and though some MMOs can deliver sub-par exploration opportunities, this demo felt authentic and met my expectations. Houses, taverns, and shops are plunderable too, with an occasional book lying around to let you dig into the vast lore about the game. While the Tamriel server was scarcely populated with a handful of testers in our Razer-themed room, Daggerfall and the surrounding areas were immersive enough to allow me to forget that there were other press folks tackling the same quests I was.
Massively: ESO is a massive undertaking for any game, not just an MMO. How will the team attack the development issue and bugs that were common to Skyrim and previous games?
ZeniMax: We have a huge onsite QA team that's going through testing, but we also plan to have a pretty long and comprehensive beta so that we can find a lot of these issues and work on that kind of stuff to make sure that it's as clean as we can possibly make it. Last week was the most recent [closed beta].
What do you think is ESO's most outstanding game mechanic compared to those of your biggest MMO rivals on the market right now?
ZeniMax: The character customization. Each class has three unique skill lines, but everybody can use any weapon or armor type. In the full game, you'll be able to find more skill lines in the world with the Mages Guild, the Fighters Guild, those kinds of things. You have an unbelievable number of options to choose between and create your character.
Will there be a return of the Thieves Guild?
ZeniMax: Not at launch.
(/sadface) Will there be any mobile apps, sort of like an auction house app or something similar?
ZeniMax: That's something we've discussed, but that will be after we have shipped.
What kind of tradeskill training can you do?
ZeniMax: There's cooking, armorsmith, enchanting, and then alchemy. You can deconstruct things, which is how you gain skill, and you can refine things as well, sort of the same as in Skyrim.
The Elder Scrolls series is certainly a long, successful series of single-player games, but now we're seeing the next installment morph into an MMO genre. How do you think huge fans of Elder Scrolls might respond to the change in the series, since many of the core mechanics will have to change in order to fit the requirements of an MMO?
Matt Firor: The Elder Scrolls is an IP full of rich lore and the legacy of five games over the last 20 years, but each of those games has brought something different to the table, as they are not all clones of one another. So think of ESO as an Elder Scrolls game set in Tamriel, but not trying to be exactly like the others. We are the "multiplayer" Elder Scrolls, so with that we bring some different dynamics, systems, and of course, the ability to play with (and against) other players.
But of course, to make the game immediately familiar to anyone who played the other games, we've kept many of the major systems (combat and questing are great examples) very similar to those systems found in Oblivion and Skyrim. Our goal is that you should feel instantly at home when you sit down the play the game.
Previously we've seen some ES titles carry rough development processes, especially on consoles, and I think the community is ready to see a "bug tackling." How is ZeniMax prepared to tackle potential bugs?
Firor: Even though ZeniMax Online is a relatively new studio, we are made up of online gaming veterans, most of whom have shipped multiple online titles and are familiar with the pitfalls and inherent problems that can arise in a connected online game. Our robust QA team keeps track of all outstanding bugs and works with the dev team to make sure that these bugs are addressed as quickly as possible. The game's beta program (which has been running for a few months now) is our best defense against bugs, balance, and stability problems. Online games like ESO tend to have long beta tests just to make sure that everything is working as intended.
Gamers are understandably concerned about how ESO fits into the overall lore of the Elder Scrolls universe. Can you spend a bit of time on the lore and where it fits in?
Firor: We are set approximately 1000 years before Skyrim. As we all know (spoiler alert!) at the end of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, the last of the Septim Emperors (Martin) is killed, and the Empire goes into a steep decline. That Dynasty, the first modern Empire to control all of Tamriel, was founded by Tiber Septim, who ruled all of the continent (more or less) from the Imperial City.
The Elder Scrolls Online is set just before Tiber Septim's rise to power in a time when there is much chaos and civil war in Tamriel. It is a perfect setting for an online RPG; the provinces and races are the same as in the other Elder Scrolls titles, but it is a time of no central authority, of alliances and war. It gives developers a setting familar enough to make ESO players comfortable but distant enough for us to be able to tell our own stories and introduce new characters and situations. And if you look closely, you'll find tons of callouts to events that will happen in the future that you may have experienced in one of the other Elder Scrolls games.
Many thanks to Matt Firor and the ZeniMax dev team for their answers and for the demo!

"if it aint broke don't fix it"... There was nothing wrong with the previous format, so why change it?
I never understand why the media enjoys blowing up secret ops... It's the same way they enjoy detailing the security plans for airports, ports, trains etc... Unreal... Have a little respect.
Nice work FCA... This is a very good thing you guys do every year. These kids will be snagging fresh bunker and catching cowbass in no time at all... :)
Goodluck Zac! Keep showing them why you're the best manager on the island buddy...
How about you get a group of kids from the neighborhood and go clean the lot? It will take a day and I'm sure you could have it free of weeds and at least you can get whatever garbage that is in there organized. Maybe you can even use the "army of ants" to haul garbage around the lot... ;) Instead, you will look at it, smell it and complain about it for years and potentially sell your house. smh...
The ferry is a joke? wow.. I get off my train everyday and then board the ferry within 5 minutes... It's the most comfortable commute for me and I have zero complaints. 95% of the time the boat is on schedule. Today I was on a new boat and it was perfectly fine... Got me to the city with no issues at all... AS USUAL.
This is great. I'm psyched about the new path. Get off your couch and workout a bit folks and then you would appreciate this. Stop complaining already... Roads will ALWAYS be in need of repair... This is a good thing for SI and I commend whoever helped get it done. Good job
I'm glad the guy is still alive but clearly he didn't want to die... he would've put a bullet in his head otherwise... The NFL guys shoot for their hearts so that science can research their brains... this guy I'm not so sure what he was thinking. Sad really... folks there's always a reason to live! Don't give up so easily.
I agree 100%. Bring him to the Mets...
wow I'm glad I checked in with SILIVE... I can only imagine the people screaming "BS!" when they realize that there's no train later this afternoon... That sucks! I'll take the 8x and be done with it.
Can't anyone just fight with their fists anymore? Why does it always have to come down to trying to kill one another?
weed will make you a little less smart that's for sure but that's about it... It's a peaceful drug unlike Alcohol... Alcohol leads to fights, drunk driving and ultimately death... Weed leads to munchies and laughter... Like anything else you have to be responsible... Pills are the biggest problem because pills steal our children from us on many levels... not just wehn they OD... Their lives end up revolving around pills and they don't care who they hurt to get them, including those that love them the most... Pot has been around since the beginning of time... If we all smoked weed instead of drinking alcohol, the world would be a much more peaceful place.
There's only one reason to run from the scene of an "accident". You feel you are guilty of something and you are trying to escape. If it was just an accident, it would be terribly tragic but it would still be an accident.
Warmest prayers to the victim and her family.
Let's quit knocking the service and start appreciating the fact that we all get to the city and back home on a boat in thick fog... Great job to all of those guys and girls who work the boats... I take it to and from everyday and I really enjoy my commute... I'll take the delays and the extra crowd knowing they are being careful out there... The horns were blaring this morning... When it's delayed in the terminal I just grab another coffee and chill out... Oh did I mention it's FREE??? 4.50 a day for me to commute to the city = awesome
Thoughts and prayers for a full recovery! It was an acident and that just sucks.. no one to blame.
the van was nc registered and the driver and passenger were mexican. the front wheel was bent under and the van was put on a flatbed... just some facts folks... nothing more...
This was associated with an accident... two cars.. a minivan with North carolina plates and I guess the seargents car which was on someones lawn. Hopefully this will be an eye opener for her and she will stop the driving while impaired... Everyone deserves a second chance and hopefully she gets it.
People will rail against anything and everything... These windfarms are a good idea... Alternative energy is a good thing. besides, it's on top of a buried garbage dump... God only knows all of the crap we have to look at on Staten island, need we worry about seeing a wind farm? I love the idea and hope they get it done.
OK so you can sit in the ferry terminal and pound beers to your hearts content and you can continue to buy and drink beer on the boat but you can't be drunk? LOL Too much... Who knows though, maybe she would've gotten into a car eventually and killed someone... We'll never know... Seems like a double-standard donw there at Whitehall... Hopefully when she settles on a few million, she'll come on the ferry and buy a round of oil cans for all the alcoholics on board... yeehaaw
useless spending... not a single person is complaining about the current situation but they feel the need to make drastic changes... Meanwhile, the most impactful problem is the radiation closure but there is nothing in the works for that... this is a bs move and is most likely a money grab...

Homemade Doggie Treats
Rachael Ray treat recipes for dogs who eat better than their owners
At 20, my daughter Lucy is a harsh critic of television hosts. Ellen, she watches with delight whenever she can, loves her dance, loves her politics. Tyra Banks never received another blink of her viewing eye after an episode on unusual phobias when she revealed her fear of… dolphins.
And then there's Rachael Ray. Lucy can't stand her. Because she calls Extra Virgin olive oil EVOO, out loud, and starts to talk about American Idol as she's fricasseeing, and suddenly it's all about who should win instead of how to steam broccoli rabe. And because Rachael says, "Yum-o."
I don't share those objections, because I never watch any Rachael Ray television shows.
No, I just read her food mag, Every Day With Rachael Ray. I like the 30-minute recipes that do not entail 45 minutes of finding ingredients here in Knoxville—and her wise remarks like, "Personally, I'd rather grill indoors because that's where the air-conditioning is!"
But… ah, there's always the qualifier. Rachael does like to harp on how she and her husband return to Italy each year on their anniversary. I just read about it over and over. This may have a little to do with the fact that I inadvertently bought the February/Valentine issue a second time in March, because it was still on the shelves at the South Knoxville Wal-Green's, but stop rubbing it in, Rachael!
And then there are her pet-friendly recipes. For example, in February 2009, the issue which I for some reason always remember most clearly, she taught us how to make Patty Melts. For dogs. From poultry seasoning, ground turkey, and Swiss cheese, with butter for grilling.
I ate a much less complicated dish on Valentine's. In South Knoxville, not Montalcino, thank you very much.
Still, I must admit Rachael occasionally hits the mark with a frugal, easy, recipe like the one to the right, that uses up ripe bananas and the whole wheat flour left over from bread machine fantasies that don't come true.
Which almost makes up for my other gripe. The Pet Friendly page has pretty cute little pet photos, but they only list the doggies by first name and breed. Maybe Rach is worried a sick-o will find out where they live and kidnap them from the playground? Or maybe they don't list the owners' names because they know once their friends find out they're willing to follow five-part recipes to make mini turkey burger patty melts for their dogs, they'll expect equal treatment.
Whatever the explanation, I'm going to turn Rachael's Alcoholics Anonymous-caliber identity protection for dogs to my advantage. If they ever feature some non-descript retriever mixes in the Pet Friendly photo, I'll tell all my friends that's my dog! Just not his real name. Maybe I'll wait until they feature a dog known only as Flipper, and send the news to Tyra Banks.
Penny Cakes (for Dogs)
- 2 very ripe bananas, mashed
- 1 carrot, grated, plus more for garnish
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 cups whole wheat flour
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. each ground allspice and ginger
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 6 oz. softened cream cheese
- Preheat the over to 350F. Grease two 12 cup muffin pans. In a large bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, carrot, egg, and honey; stir in 3 cups water.
- In another large bowl, stir together the spices and baking powder, mix into the carrot mixture.
- Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full. Bake until firm and dry, about 45 minutes. Let cool, then top each cupcake with more grated carrot and smear with cream cheese.

New on DVD: 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days'
'Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days'
(★★ out of four): Kids, even the wimpy ones, grow up so fast. It's hard to finish a film franchise with them before they're shaving, dating and turning up in the tabloids. Zachary Gordon of Oak Park, the fresh-faced lad who landed the coveted "Wimpy Kid" role in the adaptations of Jeff Kinney's "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" movies, has had a growth spurt. His Greg Heffley is taller than his portly pal, Rowley (Robert Capron), almost tall enough not to have to take any more guff from his bullying older brother, Rodrick (Devon Bostick). Greg's voice has changed. But in the summer before he goes into eighth grade, he's still inept around girls, still lying to his parents, still self-absorbed and rude to others. "Dog Days" is not the best of the "Wimpys," but Bostick is still a laugh a minute as Rodrick, and for an hour the laughs come quick and sure — slapstick stuff, mostly. And for parents and tweens, that's enough to keep this, the kid-friendliest film franchise of them all, from being a disappointment. 94 minutes; PG for some rude humor.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
'Pitch Perfect'
(★★): A pair of competitive a cappella choirs square off in this big-screen "Glee" knockoff. The film seems keenly aware of pop-cultural currents, but that ultimately undermines it. Anna Kendrick plays Beca, a budding DJ reluctantly attending Barden University. She's recruited by Aubrey (Anna Camp) and Chloe (Brittany Snow), leaders of The Bellas, a team of desperate a cappella losers. Across campus, cute freshman Jesse (Skylar Astin) joins the all-male Treblemakers, setting the stage for a Romeo-Juliet romance. The whole movie, as Randy Jackson might say, is pitchy. 112 minutes; PG-13 for sexual material, language and drug references.
Rafer Guzman, Newsday
'Trouble With the Curve'
(★★★): This film, Clint Eastwood's first as an actor for a director other than himself since "In the Line of Fire" in 1993, is a corny, conventional and quite enjoyable reconciliation story set mostly in the minor league baseball world of the South. Playing a sort of PG-13-rated version of his ornery coot in "Gran Torino," Eastwood is vastly entertaining as an old-fashioned scout who disdains computers in favor of his own time-tested instincts. Still physically fit enough to pitch to his daughter for fun, Eastwood's Gus may be an anachronism but, like the actor who plays him, he remains a force to contend with. 110 minutes; PG-13 for language, sexual references, some thematic material and smoking.
Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter
'10 Years'
(★★½): For the legion of 28-year-olds getting misty-eyed over their teen years, this high school reunion dramedy — full of alcohol, last-chance romance, big secrets and bigger revelations — might strike a chord. Channing Tatum is Jake, the handsome, popular prom king who went on to an exciting life as ... a mortgage broker. When he shows up at his 10th reunion, old memories — both bitter and bittersweet, — get stirred up. "10 Years" doesn't reinvent nostalgia and doesn't do enough with the concept of "the road not taken." But if enough years have passed for you to miss those days, it's worth breaking out the rose-colored glasses for. 100 minutes; PG-13 for language, alcohol abuse, sexual material, drug use.
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

"It's stuff like this that reminds me of how well you can write when you decide to."
Canzano is obviously a talented writer, he just chooses to walk the Jim Rome/Geraldo path much of the time.
This one rings of Mitch Albom.
Thanks JC.
I'm pretty sure that quote was him talking about the draft last year....
Where do you stand on using loaded words?
You do realize that throwing too many into your argument just turns off most readers, and tends to take away from whatever influential power your argument would otherwise have...?
Also, where do you stand on Pottery Barn catalogues, Bi-Mart coupon books and credit card offers/applications? I think those things make up 90% of the mail I have received via USPS in the last 5+ years.
Chinook is also the name of a Native American tribe, so I would guess it would not be allowed under the new rules.
Go fish. (pun intended)
Does this only apply to mascots named after Native Americans, and not to other races of people? If so, why?
If we're going for PC, how is the "Irish" or "Vikings" or "Saxons" any less racist and/or inappropriate than the "Braves" etc...? Would "Aztecs" still be okay per the new rules? You know, a race of people native to the Americas, but maybe just far enough south geographically so that they will still be allowed...? If not, does that mean that a race of people must be from across an ocean in order for it to be okay to use them as a mascot?
If people are truly offended by specific mascots, by all means, those specific mascots should be changed. (I actually can't believe that the NFL continues to allow the "Redskins") But if the state board of education is going to make a blanket decision like this, I would like to know where the lines are drawn and why....
Wait a minute....
There's college baseball?
I have a great idea.
Let's get into another debate, ducks v beavers v whomever, about the antics of 19-20 year old college kids and how much blame their football coaches should take when they make poor decisions.
I'm sure it will be very productive...
"Perhaps the most dramatic involved three men and one woman who were handcuffed during a violent altercation with officers along Southwest Yamhill Street between Third and Fourth avenues.
The incident happened as protesters refused to get off Yamhill so traffic, including a MAX train, could get through. "
Were these protesters just "peaceably assembling," or were they attempting to prohibit hundreds of others from getting to where they wanted to be on May 1? Is blocking a commuter train a first amendment right if it's done in the name of a protest against the government?
No, YOU-
Glad to hear you could walk through the protests on May 1, and get to where you wanted to be without a major disruption in your day.
One major point that you are conveniently skipping over is the designated primary use of our streets. Our city has designated many of the streets downtown to be primarily purposed for vehicular travel. This a major reason why protests and other marches down said streets require a permit, so that law enforcement can redirect vehicular travel during the permitted period of "other" use of the streets, and generally maintain the order of traffic moving about in the area. There is a reason for the permit process, after all, other than just to "sanction agreeable speech" and make you responsible/liable for your protest...
Much of the conflict that I have witnessed has taken place when non-permitted protesters try to take control of the streets, thereby disrupting vehicular traffic. I cannot speak with personal knowledge of May 1, as I avoided downtown like the plague that day, but I have twice been stuck downtown during past recent protests. Call it "inconvenience" if you like, but blocking vehicles, including mass transit, is directly prohibiting others from getting to where they need to be, whether that's their place of employment or just their grandmother's house. It is denying those individuals their rights and freedom to go about their day. Such intentional disruptions of the streets, including mass transit, have occurred during recent protests. I have witnessed them. And they have been reported in the news, including in a report about May 1. To say otherwise is a lie.
So, what is law enforcement to do? They attempt to prevent the blockage of streets and the disruption of mass transit and other vehicular traffic that is trying to use the streets for their primary designated purpose. When protesters choose to break the law and block the legal traffic, thereby prohibiting others from moving about in vehicles or mass transit, they are arrested and/or removed in order to protect the freedoms of those trying to use the streets legally to get to where they need to be.
It's really quite simple.
As for your initial question for me, I simply think you're taking some liberties with your use of the word "inconvenience." But I do know that I would like to see future protesters obtain the proper permits, so that they are not again "inconvenienced" by law enforcement....
So, your definition of "peaceably assemble" includes denying others their rights and freedoms?
"Peaceably assemble" all you want. Protest your little heart out. Such freedoms are at the heart of our country. But once you start illegally blocking our streets and disrupting traffic you are denying others their right to use our streets. And for those living and working in the area, you're denying them their ability to make a living or even go about their day. You're directly and negatively impacting their livelihood. As such, you will be removed and/or arrested by those enforcing our laws and protecting our rights.
You cannot commit illegal acts that deny others their freedoms and think that it's your right do to so simply because you claim to be doing it for the purpose of a protest against the government. That's not how the first amendment works. I'm sure in some rational portion of your thought process you can see that.
If a group of people chose to "peaceably assemble" by forming a human chain around your property, denying you the ability to even leave your house, but claimed it was in the name of a protest against the government, would that be protected by the first amendment? How would your rights be protected?
Can we loot and vandalize property while "peaceably assembling?"
Can we trespass on another's private property while "peaceably assembling?"
Such illegal acts are not protected by the first amendment just because they're supposedly done as a protest against the government. Preventing the other 99.99% of the public from using our streets isn't either....
Whose laws?
Our laws.
And yes, Monday is the new Tuesday...
So what about the hundreds of thousands who went to work on Monday who were not arrested?
What about the hundreds of thousands who did not break any laws at all on Monday, and therefore did not cost the city (taxpayers) any money at all?
Not news worthy? Not sensational enough?
The Portland media tend to paint Trespass Portland in a mostly favorable light. Seeing an argument suggesting a local media bias in the other direction is somewhat comical.
One of those apparently "1 in every 7" empty houses is on my street.
For a short period last year some people did seize the opportunity to "make use of all that waste," and "liberated" the house. During their short stay my home was vandalized and several of my neighbors had belongings stolen. There was also a noticeable increase in random late-night traffic coming to and from the formally vacant (wasted) home. Eventually the police came and the "liberators" went away, leaving only some trash and a beat-up car parked in the street.
You're definitely right about it helping the local economy. I put about $200 back into circulation in order to repair my garage door, and many of my neighbors went shopping to replace their various lost belongings.
Headline rewrite:
Self-important protesters unveil plans to trespass on May 1, urge mayor to not enforce laws or protect the rights of the other 99.99% of the citizens
Fun exercise!
I think this is closer than you make it sound, Aaron.
You definitely own the O-line. Defensively I think Moseley has you. His D-line is tough, as is his corps of LBs, and he's better at the corners.
Something else to consider is Huff as another RB option to spell DAT, or would that be allowed per the rules of your draft...?
Actually, azure, your quote from the article is incorrect and taken out of context by way of your omission of the comma. Therefore, your opening question is also out of place because it's not really what was stated in the article.
"Feel, well, protected."
This is not the writer telling you to feel well protected, as you seem to believe in your political sermon. In that sentence the "well" is used more to insinuate a pause, as if you might not be sure how to feel, but "protected" might be a better choice than the fear that's implied by the idea of hearing fighter jets over your city at night. It's playful use of wording. You could substitute "um" for "well" without really changing the meaning of the sentence. But saying that the writer is telling us to "feel well protected" is twisting the context entirely.
All of that said, preach on. Please continue to enjoy the freedoms afforded to you by those you apparently dislike so much.
I'll be sure to think of you next time I see the F-15s scramble to bust some jay-walkers, or for some other mission of oppression or control over the local population.
...you're about to find out via this trial.
People are often charged and convicted for hiring somebody to kill another person, even when the person they hired turns out to be an undercover officer. How is this any different?
In those scenarios the hired killer never existed. The accused believed that the killer-for-hire existed, and took the action to initiate murder via the hired killer. The accused is charged and convicted, even though the instrument for the murder never truly existed.
In this case, the accused believed that bomb existed, and took action to initiate mass murder via the bomb.
My point being that for whatever reason, many people tend to personalize the one named individual in a case like this, but mock terms like "terrorism" and "weapon of mass destruction" etc because they are so often thrown around in the media.
If you instead personalize the act of murder, which is really what's at the heart of this, does it change how you look at what took place? Would it make a difference to you if instead of hitting a switch on a fake bomb in an attempt to blow up a crowd of people, he had pulled the trigger of a fake gun with the intent of murdering you?

MF Review: The MINI Mayfair Cooper S
With the 2011 MINI almost upon us we thought it was time for a last look at the best of the R56 Cooper S. Four years ago we pronounced it the best MINI yet and I promptly sold my own R53 Cooper S to buy one. Since then we've seen the JCW introduced, cold start issues, and all sorts of new options and packages added to the car. But what remains is a package that has aged well in most ways. Nevermind the pedantic R53 vs R56 debate, the 2010 MINI Cooper S is a compelling product that is selling as well as ever.
This was also a chance for me to step back into a stock MINI for the first time in over a year. It would give me a chance to give a fresh take on the car that inspired me to create this site.
Our test car came equipped with the Mayfair package and was finished in Hot Chocolate on the outside and Toffee leather on the inside. Looking at the options sheet there weren't many things it didn't have except the two most important luxury items in my mind; the navigation and sunroof. Unfortunately that also means it had the dreaded Aisin 6 speed automatic transmission. Automatic debate aside, there is no question that the R56 Cooper S has a different (and decidedly more laid back) character with the torque converter box. We've detailed why we don't like the idea of an automatic in a MINI for over seven years on MotoringFile and we won't go through it all again here. Suffice to say sucks a little bit of the soul out of an incredibly fun car.
One area that has garnered a fair share of criticism is the stock suspension on the R56 (which came on our test car). But what some fail to mention is that it's unquestionably more forgiving livable than the R53's old set-up but it's also clearly more aggressive than any other $23K sporty car I've ever driven. In fact it felt easily more sharp and rewarding than the X5 M I had just tested for BimmerFile. Yes apples to oranges but sometimes it's worth remembering just how good a stock MCS feels.
Come to think of it I'd likely opt for either the stock suspension or the JCW suspension if I was ordering a new MINI. To me the Sport suspension doesn't do the comfort or the sport as well as either and I'd prefer to embrace one of the two directions rather than having a solution great and neither.
Ah the handling. This is where the MINI shines more than any mass market car I've ever driven under $50,000. It's astonishing how much fun 30 mph is in a MINI. It's equivalent to 90 mph in an M3 and 120 mph in something like a BMW X5 M. It's honest in its simplicity and the thing that so many of us love but can't quite express in words. The word go-kart comes to mind but in reality there's much more to it. It's the package or good brakes, acceleration and a small package. It's an attitude and nothing expresses it better than what you feel at the apex of a 90 degree corner.
Key to this is feel. It's also the one let-down in the entire performance equation for the R56. With the sport button engaged the car gives a appropriate level of feedback and in turn gave me tons of confidence. Nevermind that the weight was a little light for me, it generally felt great. You'd expect that turning on the sport buttons would add more of everything we enthusiasts love. Yes it sharpens the throttle (a well executed touch) and adds needed weight to the steering. However along with those improvements it also adds an unnecessary filter that dulls the steering and the feedback. It's interesting to note that is bothers me more now than it did on my own R56. Some of that could be down to my car having the JCW suspension and 18″ OZ wheels and ultra high performance tires. However I couldn't help but feel let down by a button that promises everything I would expect to love.
Sport button aside the 2010 MCS we tested was flawless. No rattles, good build quality and the attractive Mayfair package made my week with it fantastic. I'm not sure if I'd personally opt for the Mayfair options package (I'd spend my money on something more sporting like the JCW engine kit and suspension or just the JCW itself) but it's nothing if not smartly appointed and attractive. That said the Camden feels a bit superior in look and technology.
Speaking of technology the radio interface continues to annoy and frankly confuse. I've driven countless examples of the R56 and anyone without the Nav has an interface that is a confusing mess of buttons and knobs that (no matter how many times I use) befuddles me. 2011 can't come soon enough.
So this review is meant to close out the first chapter of the R56. It was a car introduced to take MINI to new heights in sales and customer satisfaction. While it may lack a few character points so loved from the previous generation, it has introduced an entire new group of consumer to the MINI in a way that BMW could never have dreamed of doing with the previous generation. In fact with its efficiency and weight loss (yes it's lighter than the R53) it has lived up to the Mini brand exceptionally well.
When we look back on 2010 I believe it'll be easy to identify this year as a turning point for MINI. The brand is on the cusp of introducing three new models (the R60 crossover, R58 Coupe and R59 Roadster) in the next two years and about to embark on an aggressive strategy that will see many new variants and a complete maturation of the brand. And that makes this 2010 Cooper S pretty special. It's the car that launched the brand into this new realm of a real car company. Hard to argue that the R56 and in turn this Cooper S isn't a complete success.
As long as they fix these damn radio controls.
