Filet Mignon with Madeira-Prune Sauce
From EatingWell: November/December 2007
Prunes and Madeira meld in this sweet and savory sauce that's a snap to make—and it's so tasty you may be tempted to lick your plate. If you're in the mood to splurge, filet mignon is incomparably tender in this recipe. But don't worry—our tasters loved it with sirloin just as well.
Makes: 4 servings
Active Time:
Total Time:
Nutrition ProfileView Our Nutrition Guidelines »
- 5 large shallots, peeled and halved
- 3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 4-ounce filet mignon or sirloin steaks, 1 1/4 inches thick, trimmed
- 3/4 cup Madeira, (see Note)
- 1 14-ounce can reduced-sodium beef broth
- 1 teaspoon butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1/4 cup pitted prunes, coarsely chopped
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Toss shallots with 1 teaspoon oil in a small baking pan. Roast until beginning to brown, about 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl; rub the mixture all over steaks. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning, 4 to 6 minutes per side for medium-rare. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add Madeira to the pan and cook for 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a boil; continue cooking until the liquid is reduced by about half, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Combine butter and flour in a small bowl. Stir tomato paste into the pan until dissolved, then add the butter-flour paste in small bits, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon, until it's dissolved. Add prunes and continue cooking until the sauce has thickened, about 3 minutes more. Add the roasted shallots and steaks to the pan along with any accumulated juices. Turn to coat and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the steaks with the pan sauce.
Tips & Notes
- Note: Madeira, a fortified wine from the Portuguese island of Madeira, has a sweet, mellow flavor somewhat like sherry. Find it at liquor stores or in the wine section of the supermarket.

A lot of new players write say,"Rd1" and you ask them "which rook?" and they give you that horrified look of ignorance. I'm wondering if neglecting to specify which rook or knight is an indication of the player not seeing the whole board including all the pieces.
Maybe they just forgot to indicate it and can't quite remember during the post analysis which one they moved?
I guess its possible that they didn't realize that another piece could have moved there, which may indicate that they aren't seeing the whole board. But, with new players, I think just going through a game and seeing the blatant mistakes (like hanging a piece) and all would be a better indication.
I encourage newer players to use the long form algebraic notation, "Ng1-f3," until they are familiar enough to use the abridged version.
I believe it's the case that if you seal a move this way in an adjournment, the opponent chooses which rook.
No. If the sealed move is ambiguous, then the player who sealed the move loses the game by forfeit. FIDE Rule 8-a under "Guidelines in case a game needs to be adjourned".
I would guess it is usually both :D
OK, that's even stricter than I thought.
Adjournment is a rare occasion these days - there was one event last year which allowed it. The advent of computers has lead to the general imposition of an idea originally Fischer's (at least he was the first top GM to advocate it), that games be played to a conclusion in a single session.

Liberals succeed!Los Osos
By Gary Karner
Let me see if I understand this correctly.
Our liberal friends want to redistribute the wealth from the "wealthy" in the United States to those deserving individuals who are below the poverty level.
Well, actually, we have done that. We have distributed our U.S. wealth (jobs) to those overseas by sending our manufacturing jobs to countries that offered the same or better labor for lower wages, less taxes, and less benefits to them. And they were well-received by those overseas workers. We did that and raised their income levels.
Did our liberal gurus only think this re-distribution of wealth was to occur within the United States? Sorry, wrong. This is not a U.S.-only-based economy any more. This is a world-wide economy. Our U.S. companies went outside the United States to reduce their costs and improve their profits and moved these jobs overseas and improved the wages and benefits for millions of others overseas at the expense of those in the United States. The liberal goal was achieved; it just wasn't in the U.S. markets or for the U.S. workers. Big oops?
Congrats to the liberals. Your goals were achieved. But the U.S. suffered. Quit whining.

"I think it's so important to be
proud of who you are. It all comes down to love," Hjelt said
during a HuffPost Live interview. "I wish I was gay so I could be
in love with Aino, because we would have the perfect relationship.
Unfortunately, that's not the case, but I feel very honored that a

"All Night is really a song
about expressing yourself," Hjelt said. "It's about when you've
been searching to find your crew, your element, your ways. And then
you find it. The feeling is amazing and you just wanna stay there

ARM sees third quarter profits increase by 22 percent to £68m
With margins to make Apple jealous
CHIP DESIGNER ARM has reported encouraging quarterly financials with revenue and profits increasing by 20 percent and 22 percent, respectively.
ARM's chip designs serve as the foundation for well over a billion chips that are shipped every year and with the growth in smartphone and tablet sales, the firm has been able to sell more of its higher-value chip designs. The firm announced that it had revenues of £144.6m in its third quarter, up 20 percent from the same quarter in 2011, while profits rose by 22 percent to £68.1m.
As ARM is finding itself in the vast majority of high profile consumer electronics devices, the firm was also keen to talk up its future in the automotive industry, a market that chip vendors see as ripe for future growth. In the past quarter however, ARM revealed that 2.2 billion ARM based chips were shipped and the firm signed 29 licenses, while gross margin hit an impressive 94.6 percent, which should keep investors happy.
ARM CEO Warren East said, "ARM has delivered another quarter of strong revenue and earnings growth. As we move into an ever more connected world of mobile computing, cloud-based networks and the Internet-of-Things, ARM is seeing increased demand for its high performance and low power technology. This demand is helping to drive ARM's licensing revenues and this quarter we saw market leaders license ARM's advanced processor technology for next generation super smartphones, tablets, and mobile and embedded computing applications."
While it is unlikely that ARM will be able to hit the $1bn revenue mark for 2012 in the final quarter, the company looks almost certain to break that barrier during 2013, and with operating margins of over 45 percent and earnings per share increasing steadily, the firm is not only popular with its customers but investors too. µ

Obstacle avoidance control apparatus
Image Number 2 for
United States Patent #7860653
An obstacle avoidance control apparatus is provided with an obstacle detecting section, a first obstacle proximity distance prediction section, a second obstacle avoidance direction determining section, a target vehicle body slip angle setting section and a vehicle behavior controlling section. The obstacle detecting section detects preceding obstacles. The first obstacle proximity distance prediction section predicts a closest proximity distance between the host vehicle and a first (closest) obstacle. The second obstacle avoidance direction determining section determines a second obstacle avoidance direction to avoid the second obstacle. The target vehicle body slip angle setting section sets a target vehicle body slip angle, such that the host vehicle faces further inward of the turning direction as the proximity distance increases. The vehicle behavior controlling section controls the host vehicle so that an actual vehicle body slip angle coincides with the target vehicle body slip angle at the time of closest proximity.

Recent Punta Cana Reviews
Marvellous - I'll be coming back!
Everything was perfect - the apartment, the surroundings and the warm welcome and assistance I received from everyone I met. Thank you Francisco for being such a good host! I was only able to stay a short time, but the apartment is near the beach and shops so it was all very convenient and easy. I hope to return very soon, and for a longer period.
Great value for the money!
Overall, my wife and I enjoyed our stay at Nick's place and would stay again in the future. HIGHLIGHTS: ~The apartment is just as it appears in the pictures: small and cozy, with an open concept. ~The kitchen had a lot of useful necessities, such as garlic crusher, lime squeezer, etc., in addition to the basic ones. ~There is an elevator, which came in handy when bringing luggage in and out. ~Clean and modern feel. ~Nick was very responsive and provided details before our trip. ~Miguel, the property manager, was attentive and professional, and responded in a timely manner during our stay. ~The folder with local information Nick put together in the apartment was very helpful when exploring local beaches. OPPORTUNITIES to enhance the experience: ~While the living room furniture looked nice, it was uncomfortable, especially the sofa. It was hard to sit there for more than 20 min, which made TV watching difficult. I'd recommend adding extra cushions/pillows. ~More shelf and cabinet space in the bathroom, such as a medicine cabinet, since the sink is tiny. ADDITIONAL INFO: ~The place is in a gated community, which is a plus, since it's in a local residential area, and not a touristic location. There are more units under constructions, but we didn't hear any noise when there. ~The free shuttle goes to a shopping plaza and the beach once a day. For us, having a car was a huge plus as we got a chance to explore various beaches, towns, and night life. The shuttle to Jellyfish Restaurant and Beach is for the duration of the hottest hours of the day (~10am-2pm). Note: the 20% off deal did not pan out with this restaurant. They only gave 10% off on non-alcoholic food and beverages, so keep that in mind. ~You are about 20-25 min from the beaches driving, which was OK with us, as you get more value for your money staying a bit further from the beach.
Me quede por 11 dias en Villa cielo con mi esposa y su familia desde brasil, y solo puedo decir que fue espectacular desde las habitaciones hasta el patio, todo estaba en perfecto estado, sin mencionar la limpieza. Tambien debo mencionar la atencion de Dahiana, la cual fue excepcional.

No, I feel stuff that I think if I hadn't had a baby before I would assume was the baby. But I have, and it's not. It's gas. Our babies move at 10 weeks, but we don't feel it. Most of us do, however, have gas and slowed digestion unlike any other time in our lives.
I've got a hunch that 90% of the women who say they felt their babies moving in the first trimester will revise their opinions of what they were feeling once they're in the second half of their pregnancies (that is, feeling the baby move for real).

Playoff Predictions
When no clear answer presents itself, go with the most obvious..
Cubs over Dodgers in 4
Phils over Brewers in 3
Angels over Red Sox in 5
Rays over White Sox in 5
Cubs over Phils in 6
Angels over Rays in 7
World Series
Cubs over Angels in 5
Past the time until first pitch by doing some ball hawking.The playoff roster has been announced as well.
C - Blanco, Soto
INF - Lee, Ward, Fontenot, DeRosa, Theriot, Cedeno, Ramirez
OF - Soriano, Edmonds, Johnson, Fukudome, Pie
SP - Demspter, Zambrano, Harden, Lilly
RP - Wood, Marmol, Samardzija, Cotts, Marshall, Howry, Marquis
With DeRosa limping, the Cubs needed someone who could play the outfield when Lou needs to pinch-hit for Fukudome or the couple dozen other late-inning possibilities. Hopefully the only time we see Bob Howry is if the Cubs are nursing a 13-0 lead after Sutcliffe and the Penguin homer.
Re: Playoff Predictions

It is playoff time--where is the decorative bunting for the TCR website? I demand red, white, and blue bunting!
Re: Playoff Predictions
Howry on the playoff roster is atrocious...As I have said before, let's send him to Mesa with the other guys who didnt make it and have him learn a new grip on that fast ball so that it actually moves a bit...Realistically, I would have been fine with them taking another hitter instead of him.

He's on the roster and I don't get it.
Same goes for Daryl Lard and Lob Howry.
Re: PIE IS POISON
You're so clever. You must write these days in advance, right? It's just consistently too good.
Pie is not poison, because he's not there to start. He's there for defensive replacement and, perhaps, running the bases.

lets see how the west coast pansies handle 50 degrees, 10+ mph winds and the nastiest crowd they have seen all year. We have a Canadian pitcher (2 actually).
p.s. love lilly in dodger stadium if we need it, his downside is the HR and that park is big. good job lou.
Re: Playoff Predictions
"Sutcliffe and the Penguin"
Sounds like a 70's cop show
Re: Playoff Predictions
Cubs over Dodgers in 4"
So, everyone thinks Lilly will beat "The Unknown Pitcher" in game 4. But, which game do we lose?
Dempster vs Lowe?
Zambrano vs Billingsley?
Harden vs Kuroda?
Re: Playoff Predictions
based on pitching matchups alone, I think the Cubs could lose all 3 of those games....
or win all 3 of those games. But if I went for percentages, chances are probably best the Cubs win 2 of the 3.
Here is my game by game prediction.
1: W (low scoring game that scares the hell out of us all)
2: L (Z sucks)
3: W (game goes to bullpen early, Cubs almost give up lead, but hold it)
4: W (Lowe on 3 days rest, pitches well, but Dodgers offense is bad)
Anyway, let's just get this done in 3, and move on to the fun stuff.
Re: Playoff Predictions
12 of 18 ESPN folk pick the Cubs to win the NL, 6 of 18 pick them to win the WS.

Re: I guess...
I'm guessing that some writer noticed that Soriano finished the season in a pretty significant slump and is seeing a good "told you so" opportunity.
Sounds like some of the posters here, actually.
Re: I guess...
in terms of Soriano's playoff performance last year...can't say I disagree with him. I thought Sori was tight and nervous and it showed, and it set the tempo for the team on offense.
I really do think he is the top key to this series from an offensive stand point. He doesn't do anything, we are in trouble. He has a good series, we should be in great shape.
Re: I guess...
Here are the three players who need to absolutely need to take at least the first goddamned pitch: Ronnie Cedeno, Soriano, and Felix Pie. Those three remind of Corey -0 and 2 -Patterson. It's going to be cold, so it will probably be small ball that wins the game. Trying to rip one out, is probably not going to work. I hope these games go longer only if we're working the pitch counts. Who wants it more, Cubs?
Re: I guess...
Not only cold, but lots of wind blowing in from the north (basically straight in from left field). Hopefully a good day to be Ryan Dempster.
Re: Playoff Predictions
What's the over/under on Derek Lee ground ball double plays in the NLDS?

Re: Playoff Predictions
Wow... lots of people picking the Angels over the Red Sox...
Re: Playoff Predictions
For me, it's because of Beckett's status and the fact that Lowell and Drew are also hurting.
Re: Playoff Predictions
I generally don't like Couch, but aside from the article's snide tone, he has a point about Fonzie. At least try to take some pitches tonight vs. Lowe, don't make it easy on the guy. Sounds like basic advice, but we all know that sometimes Fonzie gets homer - happy up there. OTOH, what do I know? When he gets hot, it doesn't matter what his plate discipline is at the time, he hits everything anyway.
Re: Playoff Predictions
Couch grudgingly admits that Soriano has drawn more walks this season. Actually, his BB/K is much better than last year, .417 (43/103) to .238 (31/130).
He seems much more disciplined to me. He takes a lot of close pitches. I wonder how many of his strikeouts were called-strike-threes compared to last year, but I don't know where to find that.
Soriano got a huge contract specifically for October games this year and the next couple of years. Okay, Sori, you've got the spotlight.
Re: Playoff Predictions
You don't get a player "Specifically for October"...you get a player who can get you to October. Then you simply hope they continue what they did in Apr-Sep.
Re: Playoff Predictions
Well, Rich Harden is one who was certainly acquired (at a high cost) for a single season that was not expected to end in the first playoff round. And they didn't care how few innings he pitched along the way--just keep babying him and try to get him to Game 3.
Lilly was their best pitcher in September but won't pitch till after Zambrano and Harden get a turn. Did Zamabrano get them to October more than Lilly did? No, but he's a star, and this is when the stars come out.
Fukudome is in the lineup tonight and batting second, not because they hope he continues to do what he's been doing. He was a star in Japan and in the World Baseball Classic, so you put him in the spotlight and expect him to perform.
Soriano is a high-maintenance guy who may or may not get you to October, but he can carry you for a week or two when a championship is at stake. I think that's why they got him.
Re: Playoff Predictions
Except Harden wasn't aquired for a single season.
Re: Playoff Predictions
You like to be wrong, don't you.
- Harden was not acquired for a single season.
- Fukudome is not playing because he is a "star." He is playing because, as Lou said, he wanted to focus on defense.
- Lilly was not the best pitcher in September. Both Dempster and Harden had better ERA's, though Lilly did have a better WHIP.
Re: Playoff Predictions
Um...source? For the latter sentence, that is.
Re: Playoff Predictions
I'm at work and, once again, am really happy to be able to watch the game online. And, once again, screw you MLB.
Re: Fuku in RF, DeRosa at 2B
Japan is watching Fuke (now more than ever). Maybe this atmosphere will revive him...or maybe he'll choke (now more than ever).

bored...looking at stats for the hell of it...
felix pena (26yo) moving to the pen in AAA is looking like an insanely good fit so far in a smallish sample size
13ip 4h 3bb 20K
remembering back to spring training he was regularly hitting mid-90s (though he didn't have a good spring stats-wise). as a starter in the minors he usually worked low-90s.
this could be an arm worth keeping an eye on even if he's only a 1-inning guy who was "demoted" to the pen to start the year.
Phil, historically this front office has been patient with their prep pitchers keeping their IP low and moving them one level at a time. I know I'm getting ahead of myself, and you may not be able to formulate an opinion on this, but you've seen a lot of pitchers over the years, so...
also, after tonight's loss, STL is 13-14.
also also, the wsox are 19-8.
Win tomorrow, and the Cubs would have a 6-game lead. On May 4.
Fully agree on Addy -- hope he is our SS for a long time. I'm just surprised he has 4 errors already -- the last 2 on routine plays.
Guess how many Carlos Correa has?
I would still rather have Russell, right now, than any shortstop the team has had in many years. The future is bright enough to wear shades.
EDIT: Gonzo WOULD have been my favorite, 'cepting a certain error of a double-play ball...
Hi Phil, made it home tonight safely. Looks like Cease is getting better each outing. I see Crow did ok today too. I will be reading your write_ups everyday. Great seeing you while there!
tomorrow's game is a 12:35pm EST game for some ungodly stupid reason...then it's back to wrigley field for a night game on the 5th.
The best part of tonight's game was 6 different players with RBIs. Truly a lineup that doesn't give up top to bottom.
excubs [email protected]_NEWS
Jake Arrieta first Cub to go 6-0 in first six starts since Three Finger Brown in 1908.
Russell now with 4 errors -- that's a big (unpleasant) surprise.
Thanks Phil!
Throwing error to 2nd on a possible double play ball.
Can someone tell me what happened on Russell's error?
BILLY BUCKS: As things stand right now, Dylan Cease will be in the Eugene starting rotation when the NWL season begins play in June, and if he peforms well there he could perhaps move up to South Bend toward the end of the minor league season or for the MWL playoffs (if South Bend qualifies).

Más ejemplos en oraciones
- Each component had its place in an attractive container, be it a pocket-sized silver case, a leather-covered etui, a wooden box, or a mahogany chest.
Early 17th century: from French étui, from Old French estui 'prison', from estuier 'shut up, keep'. Compare with tweezers.
tweezers from mid 17th century:
In the 17th century a tweeze was a case of surgical instruments. It appears to be a shortened form of etweese, a plural of etui (early 17th century), which was a term for a small ornamental case for holding needles, cosmetics, and other articles, that came from French. In the mid 17th century tweeze was extended to tweezer, while the plural tweezes became tweezers. Trouse became trousers in much the same way.

A boy fighting for his life recently discovered the power of friendship.
Travis Selinka was diagnosed with a brain tumor and had radiation therapy, causing him to lose all his hair.
After the seven weeks of radiation therapy, the bald 10-year-old was embarrassed to return to school.
"He was a little nervous about coming back only because he didn't have hair," Travis' mother Lynne Selinka said. "He was afraid what the kids would think."
His friends at El Camino Creek Elementary School were quick to pick up on Selinka's feelings. Fifteen of them went to the barber shop and shaved their heads.
"Without me even knowing it, one of the boys got together with his mother and they planned a whole thing at this barbershop," fourth grader teacher Karin Roberts said. "Since they did it, Travis hasn't worn his hat. They all just are beautiful amazing people."
"It was overwhelming and every time I think about it, it brings tears to my eyes….every one of them shaved their head for Travis," said his mother.
"I want to thank them all very much for doing that. It has made it a lot easier for me," Selinka said.

'We need each other... I really want to see her': Foxy Knoxy's Italian lover breaks his silence to reveal their 'four years in circle of hell'
- Raffaele Sollecito said the pair speak to each other on the phone every day to 'try and understand what happened'
- He is already planning a trip to Seattle to see his former girlfriend
- He says: 'I really want to see her again and look into her eyes'
Freed Amanda Knox is in regular contact with her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, he has revealed in an interview.
The couple were sensationally cleared of murdering and sexually assaulting student Meredith Kercher, 21, who was found semi-naked and with her throat cut in her bedroom of the house she shared with Knox, 24.
She and Sollecito, 27, had been seeing each other for a week before the brutal murder and initially they had been sentenced to 26 and 25 years respectively but they were released on appeal earlier this month.
Contact: Amanda Knox, pictured in Seattle last week, is in regular
contact with her former boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito, left, he has
revealed in an interview. He is planning to visit her in Seattle before Christmas
Breaking his silence for the first time in an interview with glossy Italian weekly Oggi, computer studies graduate Sollecito said: 'We need each other - we speak to each other on the phone and write to each other every day.'
Then, speaking of his invitation to visit Knox in her hometown of Seattle, Sollecito added: 'I will certainly go and see Amanda. She asked me over and I accepted with pleasure and there is no saying I will wait until Christmas.
'I could go earlier - I could go at any moment. I really want to see her again, to speak with her and look into her eyes.
Knox and Sollecito were photographed kissing shortly after the death of Meredith Kercher
'We need to speak and write to each other to try and understand what happened to us and to look forward to a future that appeared broken forever but instead we can still build on.
'We have so many things to say to each other. We spent four years in a circle of hell, we suffered unspeakably and it ruined our lives.'
Knox has kept a low profile since she was freed and is said to be negotiating a money-spinning TV interview deal with an American TV network which could make her $1 million - with the potential of earning up to ten times that amount as well.
Since returning to Seattle she has been seen out and about with friends but generally keeping a low profile and spending time with her family.
The couple pictured in 2007. Sollecito said: 'We have so many things to say to each other. We spent four years in a circle of hell, we suffered unspeakably and it ruined our lives.'
She was pictured out in downtown Seattle earlier this month with best friend Madison Paxton, who stayed close to her while she was in prison, and days earlier taking a drive with her step-father Chris Mellas.
She wrote in prison of how she longed to see her former boyfriend, David Johnsrud, and he was one of the first to pay her a visit on her return, although her father Curt stressed their relationship was now one simply of 'friendship'.
Asked how his daughter had changed since
she was jailed, Mr Knox said in an interview earlier this month that she was little different, other than
occasionally slipping into speaking Italian and being less trusting of
authority after her experience with Italian police. 'It's almost like
she hasn't lost a step with the family, which is nice to see,' he said.
Freed: Knox addresses supporters and the media at Seattle airport supported by her mother Edda Mellas following her sensational release from prison
He said his daughter had to remain largely indoors for the moment, describing it as 'a different version of jail' but said she had at least been able to lie down in the grass – something she had longed for while in prison.
Mr Knox also revealed his daughter was being shadowed by a bodyguard and the family has been inundated with hate mail and threatening phone calls.
Knox and Sollecito, from Bisceglie near Bari, were originally found guilty in 2009 of the murder which had taken two years previously in the Italian hilltop town of Perugia.
However the appeal heard how the original evidence used to convict them was flawed and contaminated and they were freed after an independent forensic report ordered by the judge condemned the forensic investigation.
Jailed: Ivory Coast drifter Rudy Guede, 24, (left) was convicted of the murder and sexual assault of Meredith Kercher (right) after a fast-track trial in 2008
Key to the case was a 30cm kitchen knife found in Sollecito's apartment and on which was said to be DNA from Knox on the handle and that of Meredith on the blade.
But the report said the amount on the knife was so low is should not be used to convict Knox - although they confirmed it was her DNA on the handle but she argued she had used it to cook with.
DNA from Sollecito which was found on Meredith's bloodied bra clasp was also dismissed as it emerged it had been left in the murder scene for six weeks before being collected and leaving it open to contamination.
Prosecutors in Perugia have said they will appeal the decision but they will have to wait until the judge's written ruling on the verdict is published sometime in the New Year.
Meredith from Coulsdon, Surrey, was a Leeds University student and was in Perugia for her degree course and she had only been in Italy for two months before she was murdered in November 2007.
Ivory Coast drifter Rudy Guede, 24, was convicted of murder and sexual assault after a fast track trial in 2008 and originally sentenced to 30 years but this was later reduced to 16 on appeal.

It would be hilarious if it were not so ugly and sinister, how much ugliness is made to look good in our media and how much beauty is often made to look evil or ugly.
I think this is the reason for the rise of Lady Gaga and Madonna--these women are not the highest standard of beauty in our society, yet they use every means available to them to prettify themselves. Seeing Madonna perform for the Superbowl made me embarrassed for humanity. This is the best we have to offer the world?
Part of this is sadly that the stars often have to make deals with a very satanic industry and so the desperate ones rise... this is likely why Bob Dylan says he made a "deal with it." He may not have been naturally gifted or particularly magnetic, yet desired to be a "star." This may be why people say he copied Ramblin' Jack's style and Joni Mitchel and others complain he is a plagiarizer.
If we take the testimony of the founder of Rock and Roll, Robert Johnson, into account, we can see that demon possession or "deals with it" can lead to incredible talent and fame.
and certain destruction in the after-life, as a distorted, self-oriented spirit energy is likely to be perceived by the Creator.

"Great New Author"
I hadn't read anything by John Hart before, but I'm glad I downloaded this book. His charater's personalities were strong and interesting. The interactions he wrote about couldn't have been more on. The storyline was interesting and believable. I truly enjoyed listening to this book. I am going back to read his first book and look forward to more from him.
"Soap Opera"
This book was disappointing. THe story is a soap opera w/ one dimensional characters who are emotionally and developmentally stunted. While the plot has some twists, the characters are absolutely predictable: of course they refuse to go to therapy, of course they resist legitimate pain medication, of course they drink too much (the men, of course), of course the males are emotionally bankrupt and of course the females are long-suffering and damaged. Some moments of lyrical writing - descriptions of place - have substance but the rest of the book is disappointing. Hope this author gets better.
"Flat Characters"
The Good: great narration.... Despite the fact that the book cornered characters into a restricted range of behavior- the narrator made the best of it. He was truly impressive and I believe I kept listening due to his prowess.
The Bad: this morality tale hiding behind the guise of a mystery becomes tiresome. If the concepts of forgiveness, the psychology of cutting, or the sticky web of family had ever been truly scratched I would have been satisfied; however, to speak the name and think that you have given the subject due diligence is just a shame.
The Ugly: how many times can a girlfriend lose her cool, slap her boyfriend, say "I'm sorry, but you left me" before you begin to yawn or at least reach for fast forward OR How many times can the angry young man act like THE ANGRY YOUNG MAN before you as the reader begin to say "okay leave" or "okay kill him" or "okay, but please go see a shrink?" Listening to this book was like wading to your ankles in the shallow end.
No matter where you go, there you are.
"Too Much Like a Soap Opera"
I actually don't know what a soap opera is like, but I understand they are twisting, implausible fantasies that are designed to convince the housebound to purchase certain brands of laundry detergent. Vignette after vignette of startling betrayal, revelations of incest or bigamy or any number of other types of exaggerated nonsense is not my idea of "raising the genre of mystery to fine literature" as one hyperbolic reviewer was misguided enough to say.
This book's choice as an Edgar winner has ruined the honor's credibility and certainly has Mr. Poe spinning in his grave.
Pure tripe.
"Down River"
The plot is weak; characters are shallow; dialogue is trivial; and it's tiresome to listen to. Don't waste your time!
"Edgar winner not my taste"
CLassic B movie kind of story. Plotting is relatively predictable, characters stock, and language is painful: "He pressed his lips against her and she said, I hate you I hate you."
Yet this won best novel of 08 at the Edgars awards. So clearly some people liked it.
"Great novel! Highly recommended!"
very well written story and well developed characters including Adam Chase, his father Jacob, friends half-siblings and lover. This story draws you in quickly and keeps you wanting to see Adam's story unfold. I listened ed to this on Audible while walking my dogs and commuting. It was a great listen!!
"Loved it."
Every time I thought I had it figured out there was another twist
I was moved in the very last chapter. It was nice to see the change in Adam
When Adam decided to take the call from his dad
I wish Janis would have been arrested. I would have liked to seen Jacob do the right thing.
"Worthwhile But Lacking"
There is nothing to sway any real passion either way about this story. Adam was wronged with a murder trial but found innocent. The town apparently disagrees with that finding. He goes away but comes back. The twists and turns that follow are largely not believable. Or involves something that I don't care about. The explanation for why it all happened (and I won't spoil the ending) is the craziest of all. Truly good police work would have discovered some of it out. But apparently that is what this town was lacking, and that definitely includes Robin, Adam's lover.
Baby Boomer in Raleigh NC. Faves include James Lee Burke, CJ Box, Baldacci, Flynn, Child, DeMille, Crais, Connolly, Thor, Coes, L'amour. Average two books/week.
"Like Iles and DeMille"
John Hart uses Salisbury NC like Greg Iles uses Natchez MS and Nelson Demille uses Long Island. He (Hart) is a modern day Faulkner in his understanding of the Southern family foibles and eccentricities. This is my second John Hart novel and I certainly will listen to the next two.
The narrator fits the setting to my ear.
Each Hart novel, although each set in the same small Southern town involves completely different sets of characters. I am somewhat familiar with Salisbury and find the circumstances quite believable.

You are here: Political Economy » Spain Another Pain
Spain Another Pain
By Marc Chandler
(Video interview covering this ground at the bottom)
Pressure is mounting on Spain. The 10-year yield today is essentially back to where it was when the ECB broadened its sovereign bond purchase scheme to include Spanish and Italian bonds. On Oct 27, the 10-year yield was near 5.33%. Today it is 100 bp higher. This is not a very conducive environment for tomorrow's new benchmark offering (up to 4 bln euros of bonds that mature in 2022).
Spain has elections on Sunday and there is little doubt over the outcome. The Popular Party (PP) is going to win handily. It may garner around 200 seats and the PP also governs most of the regions. It will have a strong political mandate. The mandate will be used to enforce greater austerity on the country. Rajoy, the next prime minister, seems to have been a bit vague on the extent of public sector spending cuts and how he will rein in regional spending. Measures to increase labor market flexibility may first result in higher unemployment before the pro-growth benefits are realized. Rajoy has promised to cut corporate taxes, but this may be a difficult campaign pledge to keep as the risk of under-shooting growth means larger deficit, requiring more austerity to hit the target.
The challenge for Spanish banks is not peripheral exposure as it is for some other euro zone countries, like France for example. Recent reports suggest Spanish banks exposure to Italy, Portugal and Greece sovereign bonds is "only" about 15 bln euros. Exposure to the private sectors, including banks, in those countries is less accessible. Instead the challenge is exposure to the real estate and housing markets. Spanish banks have reportedly set aside more than 100 bln euros over the last three years to cover losses arising from this sector. More is needed. The Bank of Spain classifies about 52% of the 300 bln euros of bank exposure to property developers as "troubled". The risk is the this understates the case and the depth of the losses that may have to be incurred.
While Spain's largest banks have diversified out of Spain, their exposure to Spain's real estate market is still substantial, with 25-33% of that exposure in trouble. In addition, to tweaking their risk weighted optimization models, Spanish banks have also reduced their loan book in Spain. According to the central bank figures, the domestic loans have fallen at a 5.6% annualized pace through September.
Rajoy will be inheriting a financially vulnerable and economically weak economy. The economy stagnated in Q3. The details indicate domestic demand is contracting sharply with a rise in the net exports suggesting foreign demand may have picked up the slack (5.4% rise quarter/quarter of goods exports). Private consumption slipped 0.1% on the quarter, but public sector spending was slashed 1.1% in Q3. Final private domestic demand fell 0.3% and is the second consecutive quarterly decline.
S&P downgraded the regional government of Andalusia yesterday to A+ from AA- and kept a negative outlook. We suspect other regions are susceptible to downgrades as is the Spanish sovereign. In fact, our proprietary assessment is that there is scope for more a more than one notch move. We believe it is an A- credit, compared with the current AA assessment from S&P and Aa2 by Moody's and AA+ at Fitch.
If Spanish bonds remain under pressure, the next shoe to drop may be for the clearers to increase margins. With the ECB reluctant to completely fill in the vacuum left by fleeing investors, pressure on Spanish bond will likely persist after a new government is in place. In fact, the risk is that the new government reveals greater fiscal straits than the outgoing government, if that is not too cynical to suggest.
Spain's challenge is not just its real estate market and the linkages between private and public debt, but the way European officials have dealt with and are dealing with the other periphery, especially Greece and Italy,makes investors wary. The efficacy of hedges in the form of sovereign credit default swaps has been questioned. This leaves only a few options, including reducing exposure outright. A stabilization of the European debt crisis will aid Spain even if it wouldn't resolve the hang over from the housing market bubble. The ECB's rate hikes in April and July did no favors for Spanish mortgages, which the lion's share are at variable rates.
We expect the ECB to cut rates again in December. On the margin this is helpful, but may be too little too late to provide significant help.
Here is an interview on Yahoo Finance earlier this week, when I discussed some of these issues.
