To Party or Not
This time of the year is when many companies wrestle with how to acknowledge the season and how to show their appreciation for both their employees and their customers or clients. The issue of HOW to behave will be addressed in numerous articles, tv stories, blogs, and the like; but WHETHER to hold a party […] [Read More]
The New Truths About PR (Part 1)
One of the most disconcerting things that can happen in business is that once the owner believes they have figured out what to do, what works, and how to do it; the capabilities and requirements change. The "rules of the game" shift and what once was seen as progessive is now outmoded or replaced by […] [Read More]
Does Nostalgia Sell?
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, many of us begin to reminisce about the smells, tastes, and memories of going back "home" (whether home is a few time zones away or just down the street). In the haze of our recollections, we tend to romanticize our experiences and heighten the more positively prominent aspect of […] [Read More]
Working Out Without The Sweat
As we approach the holidays, many of us are concerned about not indulging in bad dietary habits and then having to live with the guilt of weight gain. To combat the excesses of holiday eating, many of us will have to endure the sweat, pain, and fatigue of working out. Contrarily, businesses have a chance to […] [Read More]

Fitch Ratings has rated Alaska Air Group BBB-, an investment grade rating that gives it access to cheap unsecured debt on the capital markets.
The rating agency cites the Seattle-based airline's low leverage, solid financial performance and strong operating margins for its issuer default rating in a report today. The carrier's outlook is stable.
"Fitch believes that ALK [Alaska] is much better positioned to operate through future downturns while maintaining adequate credit protection than it was in the past," says the rating agency. "Fitch's expectations are based on the significant improvements in ALK's balance sheet and cost structure as well as the broadening of the airline's route network since the last recession."
Alaska, which owns Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air, had $1.42 billion in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, and $721 million in long-term debt net current maturities at the end of March.
The airline's manageable level of debt maturities, at about $114 million annually for the next two years, and 66 unencumbered aircraft are credit positives, adds Fitch.
"An investment grade credit rating affirms the work we have done to improve our business and strengthen our balance sheet," says Brandon Pedersen, chief financial officer of Alaska, in a statement.
Southwest Airlines is the only other carrier in the USA with an investment grade rating, an achievement that is very rare among global airlines.
The rating allows Alaska to tap unsecured capital markets cheaply and easily. Southwest has routinely been able to raise debt with interest rates between 5.125% and 6.84% in recent years, which is lower than many secured enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs) issued by mainline carriers before spreads tightened and base rates fell beginning in 2012.
The A tranche of the most-recent secured EETC, a $949.4 million deal by United Airlines in March, achieved a spread of 126bp over 10-year US treasuries for an all-in rate of 4% on 24 March. The tranche was rated A by Fitch.
An investment grade airline should be able to achieve comparable – or better – rates in the market currently.
Mark Eliasen, treasurer of the Seattle-based airline, told Flightglobal in March that the carrier is considering raising secured debt against some of its Boeing 737s in the second half of 2014.
The airline was looking for the best option in terms of cost, rate, terms and flexibility at the time, he said.
Lenders said that they see Alaska as a great credit, regardless of what type of debt it selects, at the ISTAT Americas conference in March.
Fitch cites the expansion of Delta Air Lines at Seattle/Tacoma International airport as the main credit negative facing Alaska. The agency anticipates pressure on the smaller airline's yields at the airport through at least the middle of 2015.
Alaska operates about 60% of its capacity from the Seattle/Tacoma airport, notes Fitch.
The airline's strategy to diversify its network away from Seattle, with additional connections at its hub at Portland International airport and new routes from Salt Lake City, San Diego and San Jose (California), are credit positives, adds the agency.

As goes Nevada, so goes Maine. Yes, the delegates are non-binding, but it does show that Mitt Romney's problem was not lack of organization, money or effort.
Elsewhere, there is good polling news for John McCain. A batch of Sunday McClatchy-MSNBC polls shows him ahead in California, Missouri, Georgia and New Jersey by comfortable margins. He holds a 2 to 1 advantage over Romney in the latest national polls. He collected endorsements in Georgia and Massachusetts (a number of names were on Rudy's list previously) on Saturday. Romney has been trying to suggest that the race will not end on Tuesday, but the delegate math and Romney's chosen campaign locales may suggest otherwise.
If this plays out as expected on Tuesday, there will be plenty still for McCain to do. Fred Barnes ends his thoughtful column on what McCain might do after Tuesday by quoting Barry Goldwater's advice ("Let's grow up, conservatives"), but not everyone has finished with their temper tantrums. (Sometimes it is wise to put up one's hand and, in effect, say "count me out" of the ranting.)
McCain took a nice step in the right direction this morning on Fox News Sunday with a sunny, poised performance. He evinced every intention of reaching out to conservatives and committed to vetoing any Democratic tax hike and to appointing judges like Justices Alito and Roberts, even though they might strike down the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform law. (He had an amusing interchange with Hillary Clinton as well, as they both momentarily dispensed with their primary rivals and agreed they would have a spirited campaign. I'm sure Ann Coulter would be disappointed to see both agree what stark differences they would present.)
On the Democratic side, the proportional voting system in all states will lead to less decisive results on Tuesday. There are some signs that Barack Obama is making progress. He is within two points in California. He has narrowed the gap in national polls. Clinton, as the polls indicate, has an advantage in several states with large blocks of delegates. However, if Obama can win (or come close) in California and win in Illinois(where he leads comfortably), he will stay in the hunt and move on to friendlier territory in the following week's contests in Maryland, Virginia and D.C.

tives (AoA), and those that may be completed afterward. Associated with most checklist items are brief statements of the benefits that are expected to accrue throughout the program life cycle as a result of properly executing that item, as required in statement of task item D.
The discussion of issues associated with the systems engineering workforce and training, required under statement of task item E, is taken up in Chapter 3. That chapter provides a snapshot of the demographics of the current SE workforce as well as insights into current industry SE programs to help keep DOD programs on time and on budget.
The committee's policy recommendations on needed changes to law, processes, and resources, required under statement of task item F, are distributed throughout the report as they arise in the context of the discussion in various chapters. These recommendations are presented together in the Summary at the beginning of the report.
In preparing this report, the committee assumed that readers are generally familiar with SE and defense acquisition. The committee included brief definitions and descriptions where appropriate; however, it did not attempt to provide extensive tutorials on these subjects. Doing so would have been well beyond its charter and resources, and extensive literature and online resources already serve that purpose.11

Catholic Recipe: Haggis
The ultimate in making much of nothing was achieved by centuries of Scotch cooks when they created their famous Haggis. In fact, this dish was prized so highly that it has been called the national dish of Scotland. This dish may be a daring endeavor for St. Martin's feast day.
Haggis is also a traditional dish for the Feast of St. Andrew, November 30.
Chop heart, lungs and liver fine. Add suet, onions and oatmeal. Season with salt and pepper. Moisten with broth. Stuff cleaned stomach bag five-eighths full. Place bag in a large pot of water to boil without lid for three hours. As the Haggis begins to swell, prick with a needle to prevent bursting. Serve hot.Recipe Source: Cooking for Christ by Florence Berger, National Catholic Rural Life Conference, 4625 Beaver Avenue, Des Moines, IA 50310, 1949, 1999

Wes Berry, a Barren County native, earned his undergraduate degree here at WKU and his PhD at The University of Mississippi. Before returning to WKU as a faculty member, he taught at Rockford College in upstate Illinois. Born in Horse Cave and raised in Glasgow, Wes cherishes the small-scaled farms, rolling hills, abundant rivers, and diverse forests of cave country Kentucky that have shaped his work ethic and imagination. His major literary focus is 20th century American literature, with an emphasis on environmental writing. He serves as Director of Graduate Studies for the English department.
One of Wes's long-term interests is foodways, especially regional cuisines and also the connections between eating and ecology. He's organized courses, like English 100 and 200, around food-related themes. He wrote The Kentucky Barbecue Book (2013) to celebrate the rich meat smoking traditions of the Commonwealth. During several years of roadtripping all over Kentucky, he's visited over 175 non-franchise barbecue places (some of them multiple times), interviewed the owners and people who tend the barbecue pits, eaten many of God's creatures deliciously smoked, and finally given in to the cholesterol pill.
In an effort to eat closer to home, Wes and his wife Elisa grow meat and gardenstuff on land that lays between the beautiful Green and Barren Rivers. They've raised (and eaten) pigs, sheep, and rabbits. Other residents include 5 dogs, 2 cats, and seasonal Purple Martins.

He's not shut down, Kyrie Irving could return this season
Mar 25, 2013, 9:46 PM EDT
At this point in the season, with most teams having about a dozen games to go, if a key player is injured on a struggling team, he is usually just shut down for the season. There is no reason to risk more injury for meaningless games.
Cleveland's Kyrie Irving is out with a sore shoulder right now but he is not shut down according to coach Byron Scott — if he can get back he will, reports Jason Lloyd at the Beacon Journal.
"I don't care if there's one game left in the season and you've won three, it's still all about the competition and trying to win basketball games," Scott said. "You've got to take a stand in there somewhere in just your love for the game. My man Herm [Edwards] said it best, you play to win the game, period. I don't care how many games are left."
"If he's cleared medically and there's still a season going on, I still have to see him in practice. Then after that it's sitting down and talking to him and seeing how he feels and going from there," Scott said. "Just because there's six games left, I wouldn't say, 'We're going to shut you down and not play you at all' when I know he's healthy and capable of playing."
Let me be blunt here — bringing him back would be foolish. To be kind.
Nobody sane — and certainly nobody in Cleveland — should be questioning Irving's competitiveness or desire. The reason you sit him is because to risk injury in meaningless games is foolish. Besides, a couple losses to help the lottery odds is not a bad thing. I get the whole "instilling a culture of competitiveness" thing but if you haven't done that through camp and 90 percent of the season what the final few games isn't going to matter.
My guess is we don't see Irving again this season, but that is not a lock.
- clevelandschronic2 - Mar 25, 2013 at 11:04 PM
Everyone here doubts he'll be back this year. I think scott is lying there is no reason to play him and risk injury or risk losing any extra ping pong balls in the lottery just to play a game or 2. No one is questioning irvings toughness there is just no point in rushing him back.
- timb12 - Mar 26, 2013 at 12:22 AM
It's the same reason why coaches bench their starters in the 4th quarter of a blowout. Sometimes you just have to call it a loss and move forward. Irving should be done for the year, start looking forward to next year.
- saint1997 - Mar 26, 2013 at 2:52 AM
I'm scared now. Irving, Wall, Lillard, Rubio, Curry, Holiday…who's going to be the best PG in 5 years? TOO MANY CHOICES

Watch: Lea Michele's Tips for Posing on the Red Carpet
Over the years, Glee star Lea Michele (Rachel) has become well-known for her red carpet poses. Her over-the-shoulder turn and smolder. Her playful and flirty kiss. In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar's executive editor, Laura Brown, Lea opens up about her posing how-tos.
"Sometimes, before I leave, I'll kind of look in the mirror and I'll be like, 'what best shows this dress?' Does it have a beautiful back? Is it better to accentuate my legs? So that's really the only thought I put into it. And then after that I just... I work it a little bit."
Work it, Lea.

I was feeling a little constipated and it seemed like I just couldn't get regular, so I made an appointment to go in to see the doctor at the local school clinic. The doctor that I saw for my appointment was Dr. Phingerphuck and he started by having me remove my shirt so that he could listen to my heart and lungs. After that he gave me a short and to the point lecture about smoking and then moved on to taking my blood pressure. The Doc said that I was running a little high with my blood pressure, but that could be just from my nerves. He asked me to take off my pants and then he resumed with checking out my ears and mouth. I noticed that there was a weird tool on his table, and I asked what it was just in case that was going to be used on me. He told me that it was used to clear blockages in the penis, good thing I asked.

I made some changes to this recipe and it's fantastic! Possibly the best soup I've ever had. I add chicken, peas, and par boiled potatoes to make it a hearty soup. I also add extra curry powder, the amount in the recipe is not enough for my liking. And I use 2% milk instead of the low fat milk, I find this makes the soup much creamier and tastier! My family loves it, I make double the recipe and freeze it!
I just made this, and wow is it ugly! It tastes alright, though. A little bland, a little thin. I'm thinking it would be better with 2% milk, a little more garlic and plenty of salt and pepper. Some red peppers would probably help, too. I just used cauliflower and asparagus, and the asparagus definitely tastes better. The cauliflower is just bland, bland, bland. I noticed that someone suggested to not let the milk mixture boil. Actually, the milk mix must boil in order for the flour to reach its full thickening effect. Just make sure you don't let it boil over!
20 Ratings
Great tasting and easy to make. I found that I needed to add curry powder as well - for flavour rather than heat. It is great pureed too!
This one just didn't impress me, although I love the idea of adding curry. I'm going to try to find a creamier soup recipe, and add curry to that. This soup seemed a little too thin for my taste, although I used 2% milk and doubled the flour.
This was quite good. I added cayenne pepper as well to satisfy my spicy appetite. Also, instead of curry paste I used powder- I'm from a small town and we can't get the paste here. I used about 1 1/2 tablespoons. Yummy!
Very good - I used carrots, potatoes,
zuccini and frozen corn - it was great!
This soup was ok. My kids didn't care for it and we didn't like it enough to make again. It just didn't wow us. Thanks anyway.
Be careful not to let the soup boil after adding the milk.
I used biryani paste instead of curry paste - worked well.

Released by Senator Ben Nelson's office on Monday, August 24, 2009.
Nelson: Few Nebraskans Want No Action on Health Care
August 24, 2009 – Nebraska's Senator Ben Nelson said today that few Nebraskans attending his public meetings want Congress to do nothing to reform health care in America. He also said that bipartisan agreement already exists on significant reforms that would improve Nebraskans' health care, while not increasing the deficit or creating a large new role for the federal government.
What bipartisan agreement? What "significant reforms"? I attended Nelson's public meeting in Lincoln, and he only spoke in general terms about "reform".
While I've heard from Nebraskans expressing strong support for the President's health care reform proposals, and from other Nebraskans just as opposed, and those who mainly want specific questions answered, when I've asked who wants nothing done the message is clear: Few raise their hands…That tells me, while opinions vary, many Nebraskans want improvements in our health care system…"
This troubles me. Nelson must suffer from selective hearing loss. It's not clear to me that Nelson truly understands the kind of reform that many anti-Obamacare folks support: tort reform and a reduction of government involvement in the health care system. For Nelson, "improvements" = increased government involvement.
Today, he said that he continues to hope a bipartisan bill can be developed this fall that will reduce the cost of health care and improve quality, while not increasing the deficit. Reforms also should help make health coverage available to Nebraskans now unable to obtain it without jeopardizing health coverage for 85 percent of Nebraskans who have coverage today, he said.
At the Lincoln public meeting, Nelson was asked for specifics on how the cost and quality of health care can be improved while reducing the deficit. In typical Nelsonspeak, the Senator responded that the debate isn't about reducing the deficit. What's important is that any "reform" not increase the deficit. He'd be happy with "reform" that would not impact the deficit either way.
Nelson noted that already bipartisan agreement exists in Congress to promote wellness programs, preventive care efforts and expand health information technology that would streamline care, improve the lives of millions of Americans and hold down costs. There also is broad support for reforms that simplify and guarantee affordable coverage, to eliminate insurer's ability to deny coverage or charge higher premiums because of pre-existing medical conditions and to improve the delivery of health care, he said.
That's as specific as Nelson gets on any bipartisan reform which, as the Heritage Foundation points out, is actually regulation, not reform. Again, this can only be done through increased government involvement. And the regulation "reform" Nelson supports will only end up increasing health care costs.
I will not support anything until I've seen everything in a final bill, and I think we should focus more on areas we agree and less on the most divisive issues in health care reform," Nelson said. "We have an opportunity to help many Americans struggling daily with health care issues, but we have to do it the right way."
Again, for Nelson, helping Americans means more government. All of this sounds like the same old Ben Nelson: speaking in generalities, portraying himself as Mr. Bipartisan, and avoiding commitment. Nelson has left himself so much room to maneuver, that it's impossible to know which way he is likely to go. I suspect he will vote for whatever comes along claiming, as he did with the Stimulus, that doing something was better than doing nothing. He repeatedly assures us that he puts Nebraskans first, but in reality he puts Ben Nelson first. Typical politician.
I do not trust the man.

I also know it is one of if not the highest grossing Disney movies of all time so why do they continue to ignore it? Has there ever been any rumors or ideas floating around. I mean they just made a little mermaid ride so I dont see why they cant go back in the vault and do a Lion King one. I think it's more than deserving.

BOSTON - One day after Yoenis Cespedes left a game with a shin injury, Dustin Pedroia left Friday's game with a foot injury.
Pedroia fouled a ball off his back foot in the third inning and eventually left the game in the eighth inning.
But just as Cespedes would be fine the next day, so would Pedroia. When Saturday's lineup was released, Pedroia was on it batting second per usual.
"He's still a little sore but not to the point of keeping him out of the lineup," John Farrell said. "He did a lot of king of it even after he left the ballpark here last night. He was able to reduce and limit the swelling that was in there. The fluoroscan was negative that was taken right after the game last night, so everything- strength test or any kind of situation to reproduce some of the symptoms, so he's cleared to play."
Pedroia has been on a bit of a tear for the Sox lately. The second baseman went 3-for-5 Thursday night vs. the Astros, and has recorded a hit in 12 of his last 15 games with multiple hits in nine of them.
Here's the rest of the lineup:
Holt 3B
Pedroia 2B
Ortiz DH
Cespedes LF
Napoli 1B
Nava RF
Bogaerts SS
Bradley Jr. CF
Vazquez C
De La Rosa RHP
Pedroia (foot) good to go vs. Astros Saturday
BOSTON - One day after Yoenis Cespedes left a game with a shin injury, Dustin Pedroia left Friday's game with a foot injury.

March 2014 Field Release
News from Chief Deputy Nanos:
The Tucson and Ajo Sheriff's Auxiliary Volunteers have reached a milestone this past year….over ONE MILLION hours donated to the Sheriff's Department! I am very grateful for the wonderful people we have that commit to the spirit of volunteering which certainly increases our ability to be more efficient with our resources and to get the job done! The generosity and dedication of these folks does not go unnoticed, not only by me, but by each of you who deal with SAVs on a regular basis. On Monday, March 10th, new SAVs will graduate from the Associate class. Two other classes of SAVs; Basic and Field Operations, will graduate as well. I am so pleased that the Tucson, Ajo, and Green Valley SAVs, are continuing to thrive and assist us every day. Please make sure you thank them when you have a chance.
I would like to echo the Sheriff's enthusiasm with the new radio system that will cut over, beginning March 15th in Ajo and in the early morning hours on March 16th in Tucson. The PCWIN project has been an extraordinary project with many of our folks participating, spearheaded by Chief Paul Wilson and Captain Mike Sacco, and will culminate with a state of the art radio system. I look forward to hearing many of you much more clearly!
Building Safety:
Facility safety checks are completed each month at all Sheriff's Department facilities. Your Risk Management Section either conducts the safety checks or facilitates the safety checks through designated safety liaisons at each facility. The safety checks insure that each facility is safe for employees and that the emergency equipment is present and functional if needed.
The safety checks include:
- Fire extinguishers are inspected for blockage, access, and capacity.
- The emergency lighting and exit signs are inspected to insure that they are present and lighted (if applicable).
- The exits and stairwells are checked to insure that they are free of clutter and not blocked.
- The AED's are inspected to function properly and to insure the pads and user's kit are present.
- Fire risers are checked to insure that they are locked in the open position, access is not limited and there is no clutter near the fire riser.
- First aid kits are checked and supplies re-stocked if needed.
- Sharps container capacity is checked and the container is replaced if 2/3 full.
If you notice any facility-related safety issues, please contact Ken Coultas, Risk Management Section Manager at 351-6100 or Lorna Keydoszius, Department Safety Officer at 351-8027.
Would you like a fast and easy way to identify crime trends in your beat?:
Crime Reports is a powerful tool that allows you to obtain statistics and identify crime trends within a specific area. It can be accessed by visiting pimasheriff.org and clicking the Crime Reports link on the homepage.
As a frequent user of Crime Reports, Deputy Joe Copeland said, "I find that Crime Reports is much easier to use in identifying crime trends as compared to Spillman. If I find myself looking into a rash of burglaries or car busts in the district, it is easier to put in the crime that I'm looking for and the beat that I'm looking at to generate a printable list as well as a usable map of the crimes than going through Spillman and inputting the same information."
Crime Reports can be used to:
Identify crimes in district by type, location, and time of occurrence
- Create heat maps that visualize the time of day, day of week, and locations of crimes
- Prepare printable reports for Neighborhood Watch and HOA meetings
- Identify patterns and trends of crimes by analyzing data found
Citizens also have access to certain features of the tool, allowing them to:
Create email alerts to automatically receive information about crimes in their area
- Locate nearby sex offenders
- Provide anonymous tips to 88-crime about criminal activity
Citizens can access Crime Reports in the same fashion as deputies, by visiting pimasheriff.org
To watch video demonstrations of some of the features of Crime Reports, please visit: http://vimeo.com/search?q=PublicEngines
Some features of Crime Reports are only available to law enforcement personnel and require login credentials. To access these features please contact Sharon Beasley via email at email@example.com and request a log in.
Corrections Female Recruiting:
The Corrections Bureau recently began a recruiting campaign to target women applicants for Corrections Officer positions. Specific recruiting efforts include Facebook Chats, live recruiting fairs, individualized tours, Jail Open House events, radio, and television promotions. The goal of the recruitment effort is to present a realistic overview of the job we do on a daily basis, dispel some myths regarding correctional work, and highlight the many benefits offered by the Sheriff's Department.
A group of dedicated female officers voluntarily took center stage in our community to promote this cause at the Park Place Mall. In an effort to show the diversity of the group and the nature of the work, various uniforms were modeled and all disciplines were represented.
The group was able to speak from personal experience with the women of this community and dispel many of the myths and stereotypes associated with women in Corrections and the Sheriff's Department in general.
Although women make up a small percentage of the total officers in the Corrections Bureau, they serve with honor and professionalism and are a vital component of our organization.

Kiwifruit is a naturally good source of lutein and zeaxanthin, 2 phyotnutrients that scientists believe may protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
AMD is the leading cause of irreversible blindness among older Americans. Mild AMD affects nearly 30% of Americans over 75 years of age. There are 2 types of AMD: dry and wet. Ninety percent of AMD patients have dry AMD, which is caused by deposits on the macula in the center of the retina, where vision is sharpest. In wet AMD, tiny blood vessels bleed into the macula, partially or completely blocking out central vision. Although the central vision is blocked, AMD patients usually retain peripheral vision but cannot see well enough to read or drive.
Because there is no cure for AMD, it is critical to prevent eye damage leading to this condition. Research studies have cited carotenoids named lutein and zeaxanthin as potential inhibitors. Data from human studies suggest that dietary intake of these carotenoids can lead to their accumulation in the retina and, therefore, may provide protection against retinal degeneration. Within the central macula, zeaxanthin is the dominant component; in the peripheral retina, lutein predominates.
In a recent small-scale study, 11 subjects modified their usual daily diets by adding 60 g/d of spinach for 15 weeks. Spinach was selected because of its high lutein content. Eight subjects had increases in serum lutein and macular pigment density, 2 subjects showed substantial increase in serum lutein but not macular pigment, and 1 subject showed no change.
Another study, by the Eye Disease Case-Control Study Group, reported that patients in the group with the highest level of plasma lutein zeaxanthin had a lower risk ratio for AMD. Subjects in the highest quintile for their intake of lutein zeaxanthin demonstrated a 57% lower risk of advanced AMD compared to those in the lowest quintile.
As antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin may also play a second important role in eye health, by protecting the macula against the effects of free radicals. Their antioxidant properties may help limit the oxidative stress on the eye tissue that results from metabolism and light.
The increased interest in the protective effects of lutein and zeaxanthin has sparked a need for information about the carotenoid content of specific foods. Kale and spinach rank as the two highest food sources of lutein and zeaxanthin; kiwifruit tops the list of fruits that contain these phytonutrients, thus providing an enjoyable method of delivery for consumers who prefer fruit sources or for those who wish to select a variety of dietary sources.
This article is an executive summary of an article by Professor Elizabeth J. Johnson, Tufts University, Boston, MA.

The food is inconsistent and low quality. The rice carton for my to go curry was 1/2 full, cold, undercooked and the curry was gooey with corn syrup. The side salad was unappetizing and the the lettuce was yellow. I will not go back.

We were looking forward to a good, not great Chinese food dinner. A chicken dish had raw, discolored potatoes and the pork dish was filled with pieces of pork fat which outnumbered the pieces of pork. Since we did not eat the entrees we decided to order ice cream. After looking at the menu and not seeing ice cream on it, the nice waitress informed us they did have ice cream. She took our order for vanilla and brought two dishes of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla?

It is freezing cold in my office and I was so looking forward to a warm delicious soup. I have never had anything so bland in my life. The wontons had no flavor. I had to take the noodles out and drench them in soy sauce to make a decent meal out of this. The Steamed veggie dumplings were you typical green dyed dumplings from any chinese place, but, whereas some places make these taste alright, this place delivered them all dried out.

We had an enjoyable dinner here Friday night. The restaurant is long and narrow and fairly typical of most Chinese restaurants, sparsely decorated; just tables with white tablecloths and chairs in a long row on two sides of an aisle. We were the only diners there when we arrived at 7.45 but two other tables came in shortly after. We ordered 5 meals to share with 6 of us and it was 1 meal too much so the portions are ample. The food was tasty and the service attentive. Perhaps a little on the expensive side but otherwise not a disappointment.

Good place to have both lunch and dinner. I'll go back again.
Posted by Abby on 07/28/2009
Yummy Yummy Yummy! I like the vegetable chow mein and other vegetarian entrees at China Moon. Sometimes I am just tired of the bland taste of vegetarian food at other places, all vegetables at China Moon are quick stir fried and taste fresh. That's good. By the way, the price is good too.

Cigarette smokers would get a huge blow as the online job ads have now started to specify that cigarette lovers need not apply. This has also sparked off a debate on the social and personal front and how much can a company infringe upon. The experts have been pondering upon whether it is discrimination on the basis of personal choice or just done to protect the health of the workers.
The jobs that have been published online have requested only non-smokers for the posts ranging from drivers to personal trainers, publishers, disability workers and receptionists. There are many people who have been lobbying for this stating that it promotes healthy lifestyle and employers like hospitals and health organizations have no need to employ smokers.
But there are people like acting Victorian Equal Opportunity Commissioner Karen Toohey who has been very categorical in stating that there should not be any discrimination. She said, "Stipulating smokers need not apply for a job may be against the law. Employers should not seek to exclude smokers from applying for a position, unless the need not to smoke is an inherent requirement of the role". The reason might be anything but the smokers would now have to choose between a job and smoking.

Larry King's wife , Shawn Southwick was was taken to a hospital unconscious after reportedly suffering from a drug overdose. She was found in her Provo, Utah home. Family members say that the talk show host's 50-year old wife took drugs for anxiety and depression, but still don't know what exactly led to her OD.
RadarOnline got the 911 call made by Southwick's father Karl Engemann, in which he (calmly) tells the operator, "I can't wake her up. She may have overmedicated. She's unconscious. I slap her and I holler ather and she opens her eyes halfway and puts them back down again."
When asked about a suicide attempt, he responded, "No, no, no. It wouldn't be suicidal. I don't think she did it on purpose. Last night, she seemed confused about what she had taken, the last time she had taken it."
King and Southwick are in the midst of trying to salvage their marriage. He has filed for divorce in April, citing "irreconcilable differences." which she followed up with herself. There were rumors that King was having an affair with her younger sister. The pair have since reconciled. More updates on her condition to follow.

With a split of their double header with Monmouth, the Bobcats held their position in fourth place in the NEC standings. The Bobcats dropped the first game 8-7 but rebounded to take the second game 7-2.
The Bobcats scored first in the first game on a Brian Monack homerun in the top of the first. But the lead wouldn't last long. The Hawks took the lead in the bottom of the third, scoring three times.
In the fifth the Bobcats exploded for six runs. Mickey Amanti drove in the first runs of the inning with a two run single to center. Two batters later, Monack drove in Amanti and Joe Poletsky followed with a sacrifice fly to center. Chris Migani followed with a two run homerun to left to cap the scoring.
The Hawks added one run on the bottom of the inning and then struck for four runs in the sixth to retake the lead they wouldn't give up.
In the second game, the Bobcats fell behind 1-0 after three innings but exploded for seven runs in the fourth.
Migani hit his second homerun of the day to start inning. After loading the bases, Mickey Amanti was hit by a pitch to bring in the second run. Ben Farina followed with a double to left to bring in two more. Monack capped the inning with a three run homerun to center.
Anthony Cinelli shut down the Hawks, giving up just two runs on seven hits in the complete game.

Another Rick Perry supporter has reportedly attacked the Mormon faith of rival Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Perry spokesman Mark Miner insists the comments by David Lane have "nothing to do with the campaign," and denied a report in The Daily Beast that they suggest a systematic effort to undermine Romney with evangelical voters.
Asked if Perry believes Romney's religion should be an issue in the campaign, Miner answered with an unequivocal "no." He also denied that Perry's campaign is seeking to make it one.
Lane, the chief fundraiser for a well-publicized Christian prayer rally that Perry headlined in August one week before launching his presidential campaign, told Christian talk radio host Dick Bott in an e-mail that "juxtaposing traditional Christianity to the false God of Mormonism is very important," according to e-mails obtained by The Daily Beast.
The two were discussing via e-mails an upcoming interview Bott was planning with Robert Jeffress, the Baptist minister who earlier this month told reporters at a gathering of religious activists that Mormonism is "a cult," "not Christian," and an obstacle to Romney winning the presidency.
In an e-mail, The Daily Beast reported, Bott told Lane that Jeffress wasn't necessarily wrong for his controversial statements that he made during the Value Voters Summit in Washington. The website quoted Lane as thanking the radio host and suggesting that Perry's supporters owe Jeffress "a big thank you" for surfacing the issue of Romney's religion.

Think big. Learn how to harness big data to drive strategic decisions.
How many terabytes of Tweets, petabytes of purchase transactions and quadrillions of call detail records do you think the world generated today? More importantly, how will the enterprises that use all that big data collect it, clean it, manipulate it, store it, keep it secure and trust it enough to act on it – especially given the breakneck speed at which it's created? That's the domain of data scientists, and it's never been more critical.
The future of business depends on harnessing big data – in all its myriad unstructured formats and disparate sources – faster than the competition, and then using it to make better, more consistent and more fact-based decisions. But there's a talent gap for data analysts with the specialized skills and broad-based knowledge to meet this growing demand. According to McKinsey Global Institute, the demand for deep analytical talent in the U.S. could be 50-60% greater than its projected supply by 2018.

GoGrid is "suping up" its CPU architecture. Within the next few months, we will be rolling out new infrastructure using next-generation Intel microarchitecture, specifically the Nehalem 5500 line. Recently, we have been running a series of internal tests as we evaluate Intel's new multi-core performance as enabled within these CPU chipsets.
Nehalem & GoGrid
I spent some time with Telemachus Luu, GoGrid's Director of Business Strategy, and a senior-level GoGrid cloud architect in order to better understand what this means to GoGrid and its customers. I won't bore you with overly technical details, if you do have any technical questions about the Nehalem processor or how GoGrid will be using it, please feel free to leave a comment on this post.
There are three main items that were outlined to me, specifically:
- Increased Memory Bandwidth – For GoGrid users who have larger Virtual Machines that are processing a great deal of data (e.g., financial analysis or large database queries), those users will see a definite benefit with better memory handling.
- HyperThreading – By utilizing HyperThreading, GoGrid is able to provide a better ratio of CPU processing elements (in the form of cores or threads) to our customers. This means that under heavy VM CPU loads, the scheduling latency improves.
- Extended Paging Tables (EPT) – By using Extended Paging Tables and architecting appropriately, some of the critical memory management work that would have been done in the software layer can now be largely performed within the hardware itself.
However, in my discussions, I also picked up some other interesting tech tidbits that make a lot of sense. For example, there is a definite advantage of using the HT/Virtual Cores of the Nehalem processor versus just throwing in other older chipsets. You can, for example, get 30% "more" out of a virtualized core that uses only 5% more silicon than you can by simply adding more physical CPUs. Also, you can pack more cores (physical and virtual) within a server using the Nehalem than you could with the previous generation Intel chipsets.

Intel also introduced a new member of the Pentium 4 Extreme Edition processor family. This chip runs at 3.73GHz and contains a 1.066GHz bus. Intel also confirmed that in Q2 of this year, it would start to sell dual-core CPUs as well. These will, initially, run at slower speeds than existing single-core chips, but should have superior performance.
AMD has released statements that it too will be releasing new products soon. More here.

Have eaten here several times. Always delicious. The portions are very large and filling. I recommend arriving hungry. They have a big menu but everything from the roast beef to the french toast is excellent! You can't go wrong.

I have been suffering from a horrible cold and the only thing I wanted was some chicken noodle soup. So my husband ordered us some soup from Second Avenue Deli, along with a pastrami sandwich and a chocolate babka. We ordered a quart of the soup. I wish I could post photos on menupages to show you what the soup looked like. It was 95% broth and the rest was just noodles. No chicken, no little pieces of carrrot. Nothing. It basically looks to me like they make one broth and toss it with some noodles to make chicken noodle soup. The pastrami and babka were good, but when you are sick, there is nothing like a good chicken noodle soup and this just is a disgrace to an establishment that claims to be the best at anything.
Posted by Charles on 10/28/2012
After a few months, the 2nd Ave. Deli uptown draws few customers, and empty tables every night tell the truth that prices are simply way too high, even for the UES. Only foreign tourist in midtown, and expense account lunch customers in midtown, pay such prices for sandwiches and soup and such. And to think, you must pay extra for lean meat in your sandwich, if you don't want fat and grizzle. Sorry, 2nd Ave., but your prices are too high and I won't come back to your deserted restaurant.
Posted by Sean on 07/30/2012
Went with a friend on Sunday morning for breakfast: over $50.00 for a disappointing meal. My pastrami hash was tasteless and her potato pancakes were greasy. Eggs on my has were ordered 'over easy' and arrived over and hard. Well, I've been wanting to check it out and I'm glad I did for breakfast and not for dinner. Prices are absurd.
Posted by Ryan W on 06/25/2012
Ordered a large chicken noodle soup for take-out. For $16 I got a quart of tasty broth, a few limp noodles and no chicken. Won't ever go back. Prices are obscene, even for upper east siders.
Posted by Jamie on 04/22/2012
worth every penny! service and quality are impeccable. the only place that makes better matzoh ball soup than me! the level of service and quality are unmatched in the world!! i've had jewish deli all over the place. none like this. I love you second ave deli! so do all of my friends that get it!
Posted by anon on 03/10/2012
I don't know what some reviewers are talking about: there is no better matzoh ball soup in the city, period. Prices are relatively high but so is the quality of the food. This is the real deal. Been there several times and service always lovely. This a like a scene from a Woody Allen movie...love it. Get the soup and 1/2 sandwich special for $16. A huge amount of food and they give you cole slaw and the best pickles and a shot of chocolate soda when you are done. The best.

Blueberries for Thanksgiving
Posted By Amy On November 19, 2012 @ 11:28 pm In Gratitude | 6 Comments
Several years ago, before we had children, we headed to my in-laws for Lance's extended family's Thanksgiving meal. It seemed quiet when we got there, and when we walked in the door we found his sister… flipping blueberry pancakes.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I don't remember what the miscommunication was and why we weren't eating a traditional turkey dinner, but nobody went hungry and now we have a good story to tell. We ate, played cards, and laughed the night away.
Your turkey may not be done on time. The glass dish of green bean casserole may shatter on the way to the table. The power may go out. Dinner may quite possibly be ruined, but the day doesn't have to be.
In the midst of last minute dinner preparations, I have a kitchen tip to share. Wherever and whatever you are eating this Thanksgiving, whether it be prime rib at a 5 star restaurant, turkey at grandma's, or pb&j with the kids on the living room floor: It's not about the food.
Put a smile on your face and gratitude in your heart. Enjoy your meal, and just go with it, whatever it is. Food tastes better that way!
Happy Thanksgiving! {Please pass the blueberries.}

Artisan: Noah's Ark
In the 1980s there were no fair trade opportunities for local artisans in Moradabad, India. Skilled craftspeople were routinely taken advantage of by export companies operating in the area, and living wages were nearly impossible to come by. Local businessman Samuel Masih saw an opportunity to build a business that would reward artisans with fair wages while exporting beautiful handicrafts. He started Noah's Ark in his home in 1986 with the goal of creating new economic opportunity in the community.
Two years later, Noah's Ark entered the world stage with its first large order from a florist in the U.S. Soon other large orders began flooding in, attracting the attention of the Tear Fund, Artisanat-SEL, Goed Werk, TEAM, and Oxfam Australia, which contributed to even more growth. Today, Noah's Ark works with more than 100 artisan groups involving more than 600 people in Moradabad, Saharanpur, Nagina, Jaipur, Sari Tarin, Delhi, Hapur, Firozabad and Amritsar, paying 10-15% more than other companies in those areas. In 2000, the Noah's Handicrafts and Welfare Society was founded to benefit artisan welfare, children's education, community development, and social work.
Artisan Anwar Saleem, age 27, is a second-generation lantern and lamp maker. His parents died when he was only 18, leaving him responsible for his three younger siblings. He went to work for his uncle, learning the craft of coloring and lacquering lanterns. Unfortunately, his uncle was unable to pay him a living wage and the family suffered. After a couple of years, Anwar was able find employment with Noah's Ark. The fair wages Anwar received turned his family's life around. As he explains, "While working directly with Noah's Ark I was able to save good enough money to do my family responsibilities, then they encouraged me to do some manufacturing work from my home. I got married and also I was able to do marriages of my sisters." Anwar now has his own workshop with seven regular employees and 15 contracted artisans.

Something is wrong inside the Holland camp, as evident by the sulking nature of the squad and the on-field tactics.
If you had any doubts that something was wrong with the Netherlands football team, they were compounded after defeat to Denmark over the weekend. If you still thought it was just one bad loss and that one of the pre-tournament favourites would bounce back, then you missed Wesley Sneijder's strong comments before the game against Germany on Wednesday.
"It is time we let these pathetic egos go. If somebody is creating a mess, I will stand up against them now ... We have to stop living on little islands. We must all go for the same goal, be united or face the consequences." Something is really wrong inside the Dutch camp for a player of Sneijder's class to speak like that.
Statistically, the fact that a team like Holland – with four attacking players – has scored just one goal is shocking. In both the matches so far, Holland's defence has proven woefully ineffective, especially in the 2-1 defeat to Germany. There was clearly no defensive cohesion between the back four and midfield, and once Mario Gomez scored in the first half, the Dutch were left to play catch-up. There were massive gaps between the centre-backs and outside defenders, which Gomez exploited for goals in the 24th and 38 minutes with clinical efficiency. This wasn't the football of a hugely talented football team.
This was an extention of Holland's problems in their tournament opener, but things were much worse. Against Denmark, Netherlands appeared in control of proceedings at the start, but once Michael Krohn Dehli netted a late finish after 24 minutes, it was a downward spiral. Holland were poor in front of the goal and especially wasteful during the second half, their performance epitomised by the labouring Robin van Persie, who showed none of the killer instinct from his stellar 37-goal season with Arsenal.
It was always going to be tough for Bert van Marwijk's men to turn it around in four days before they played a strong German outfit, but the manner in which they took the field was disappointing. This was a grumpy, disorganised bunch of footballers on the field. You can tell a lot from a team's body language, and something was wrong with the Dutch. The disharmony was that palpable.
Van Marwijk had warned his rivals at Euro 2012 – the team was drawn into the tournament's Group of Death, featuring archrivals Germany, Portugal and Denmark – that the Oranje intended on playing attacking football. Marwijk and his team copped criticism for their guarded style of play at the 2010 World Cup, at which they reached the final, but the coach has vowed to come onto the offensive. However, this has not been the case at all. In two games so far, the team has clearly lacked an identity. That same guarded style of play that took Holland to the World Cup final has backfired at the Euros, and it appears this has taken its toll on the players. The creativity and resilience that Holland showed in South Africa two years ago is absent, and that a team brimming with outrageous talent and technical prowess is now on the doorstep of being eliminated from Euro 2012 is a worrying thought.
Next up is Portugal for Holland, a team that has been decidedly under-par in the competition too. Netherlands can still qualify for the quarter-finals if they beat Portugal by two goals or more - and if Germany beat Denmark in the final group match - but on current form, it's hard to see them doing so.

Recipe by Linda Martin
"This recipe is one I started making years ago by accident, when I was out of barbecue sauce and tried Bloody Mary mix instead. My children love it! (I like to wash, skin and remove fat from the chicken the night before and refrigerate, so that it only takes a few minutes to prepare the meal before I leave for work.)"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (32 ounce) bottle
bottled Bloody Mary mix
DELICIOUS & EASY! We loved it! It was a snap to make, smelled delicious while cooking, and tasted even better. I added chopped onion and garlic, and threw in some frozen GREEN BEANS to round out the meal (I served it over orzo with the extra sauce). Really good! Be sure to use a Bloody Mary mix that is to your liking (Mild, or spicy)- that may have been the problem that some other reviewers had - I can't imagine anyone not liking this! Thank you!
UPDATE: 05/19/10 Still making this 8 YEARS later! I use Mr&Mrs T's bold & spicy 'mary mix w/ bone in/boneless chicken. As with ANY recipe, SEASON TO TASTE! It smells great & tastes great - serve over rice, pasta, quinoa; you can throw in frozen veggies (if using fresh veggies, throw in only for the last 2 hours.) A terrific recipe in my regular rotation. I've made this so many times now, & everyone has always loved it.
This turned out disappointingly bland. It may have been the bloody mary mix I used. I would also add some onions and garlic to cook with the chicken next time. Really important to have a tangy mix for this!
128 Ratings
I also added a few of my own ingredients that added a wonderful flavor to the chicken! I added celery, onion, garlic, and chicken broth and cooked it with chicken legs & thighs. It was great! I also cooked some white rice and used the broth from the crock pot instead of water. It was great! The chicken fell right off the bone and was absolutely delicious!
This has become one of my favorite meals! I, however, add onions, green peppers and real bacon bits. Right before it's done I throw in spagetti that has been cooked about 3/4 the way done and let that simmer to finish cooking spagetti. I have also made this in less than an hour by half-way cooking the chicken. EXCELLENT!!!
Absolutly fantastic. I added 3 chopped celery sticks and a green ball pepper (dont eat after though, it gives chicken a great taste, but is very bitter after cooking so long). I also added about 2 tablespoons of Tabasco sauce. After chicken was cooked through, I SHREDDED it, then put it back into the sauce for 15 minutes to saturate. Served over rice. It was so good!! I made a couple times according to the recipe, but the breasts came out so dry. The bloody mary mix is a brilliant idea!
I only gave this 4 stars because I personally thought this was a very bland chicken, but with some tweaks a great recipe! I seasoned the chicken with crushed garlic, pepper and celery salt. Poured Mr & Mrs T's bloody Mary Mix over it, added cubed cream cheese evenly around the crock pot, with a dash of tabasco and worchestershire. Let it cook on low for about 6 hours. The chicken was falling apart and very flavorful! I removed the chicken, whisked the sauce just to blend the cream cheese and thickened it to use over the chicken and pasta I prepared to go with it!
This is a great and easy recipe.
I added onion and celery which added
additional flavor. Served over buttered
egg noodles - YUMMY!
I added a little sour cream for a creamier flavor and used the extra spicy mix. It was so good we didn't have leftovers, and that NEVER happens.
