The Fantasy Five: 8.21.2012
Are you worried about the NFL referee lockout?
Yes 100% (1)
No 0% (0)
1 total votes.
One.Billy Beane hopes Stephen Drew will help the A's get into the playoffs. It's a classic Beane move. I believe he has a shot at helping fantasy baseball owners during their playoff run as well.
Two. I present to you a snarky, expletive laced fantasy preview of the NFC from Deadspin. Read at your own risk.
Three.Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes Felix Jones is ready for a big year. Jerry has obviously never drafted Felix in a fantasy league.
Four.The NFL doesn't expect the referee lockout to end soon. I honestly don't think John and Jane football fan cares -- until their team gets screwed (Favorite or Fantasy).
Five.Russell Wilson could earn the Seahawks starting quarterback gig with a good performance on Friday. If you are monitoring this situation for your fantasy team, you're either a diehard Seahawks fan or made a horrible mistake in your draft. No matter the outcome, the winner will be no better than a QB2.

Sales Person: Dan Carson will stalk you on the phone even when you tell him to stop the calls.
When you stop ordering from him he will robodial you and when he gets you on the phone, he will curse you, he will curse your mother, wife, daughters with vulgarities that cannot be mentioned in this document.
Dan Carson will also threaten you, and he will tell you that you don't know who you are dealing with.
I have never been subject to such an avalanche of obscentities and threats in my life.
When I reported him to Big State, they told me he works for: Tool Spot LLC, Phone no.: 602-714-5134 in Phoenix Arizona. This phone no. never answers.

We are not going to waste any time on dwelling on past orders. What is done is done.
We are simply warning consumers of your sales practices, however you choose to do them, with whoever you chose to have do them for you.
The only thing that will make a difference is to read that Dan Carson has been fired for cause.

First and foremost, is the complaint regarding your salesman Dan Carson. He is not an employee of ours. As you stated, he works for a company that submitted your order to us on your behalf. If you would contact our customer service dept we would be more than happy to forward the information on his behavior towards you to his supervisor, however, I do not have all of the information I would need to locate your order and file the appropriate paperwork.
I understand your frustration, however, this gentleman is not an employee of ours and we are not responsible for his actions. Please call us as soon as possible so we may be of service to you on this issue in any way possible.
Secondly, I hear you stating that our products are low quality and are priced high. I am sorry you feel this way, however I can assure you that we have over 20 years in this business and we firmly stand behind the quality of our merchandise. We do not manufacture any of the products we sell ourselves, however, we do sell quality products that we are proud to distribute. The majority of our customers are satisfied with their purchases. I am sorry to hear you are not one of them.
As far as our pricing, we mark our product up competitively, as well as factor in our free shipping and interest free billing terms. All those considered, we are competitive in our industry.
Again, without knowing the specifics of your order, I don't know if you qualify for a return, or if your account would qualify for any discount, but if I could get you to call in I would be more than happy to look into every avenue possible to effectively resolve your issue with the price you paid for the quality of the product you received.

Then on 17 July, as I was driving in Florida (On time and feeling fine!), I got a message to deliver my load early. I had already been on the road nine hours and had planned to park soon. The load delivered 3 pm the next day. I drove maybe another 30 minutes and parked at a rest area. The next day I was fired. But, they wanted me to pick up another load and deliver it to Chattanooga first!!!! I picked up the load in hopes of changing their minds. No such luck. I was told to bring the load to Chattanooga and they would accept my resignation. Wait a minute! I didn't resign! I was fired!
I took their load home as I did not have the funds to returm myself, my property, and my dog home. I sent them a message as to the location of their truck. Today, I received a letter stating that I had quit. God knows what is on my DAC report.
I think I did my best and took a lot of bull. I also think I will never drive again.

Phrenicotomy, or simple division of the phrenic nerve in the cervical region, was first suggested by Steurtz for lower lobe tuberculosis in 1911, but little interest was manifested in the therapy of this procedure till Goetze1 and Felix2 reported (early in 1922) the results of their extensive research work on phrenicotomy. The latter authorities showed that the hemidiaphragm does not remain completely paralyzed after simple section of the phrenic nerve in from 25 to 30 per cent of cases, owing to failure of interception of an accessory phrenic nerve which joins the main nerve below the first rib, and each devised a "radical phrenicotomy," which would also interrupt this accessory nerve, as well as any connecting cervical sympathetic fibers of the phrenic nerve, with resultant permanent paralysis of half the diaphragm.
Goetze isolates the phrenic nerve in the neck down to the inferior cervical ganglion, where he removes

EDitors UPDATE: Positive Rating and Recognition has been given to DirectBuy for its Commitment to Excellence in customer service.
Rip-off Reports investigation of DirectBuy uncovers an ongoing commitment to total client satisfaction. This means that clients can expect the company will always work towards finding a mutually satisfactory resolution to any complaints or concerns in the past, present or future. DirectBuy pledges to help members and guests realize their dreams through exceptional customer experiences and unparalleled savings, service, and selection.
The Rip-Off Report Investigation revealed a demonstrated commitment by DirectBuy to providing excellent customer service and resolving customer issues. They achieve this through several means, including a recent partnership with customer service experts to actively survey their members and guests and make changes that improve their processes and ensure a uniform exceptional experience for every customer. To address the most common concerns, DirectBuy recently started offering free trial memberships at participating club locations, as well as additional tiers and terms of membership to meet a broader range of household budgets.
The Investigation also showed that DirectBuy members are renewing their memberships at record rates, indicating members are still very satisfied with the value they receive through DirectBuys home furnishings and home improvement products and services. DirectBuy is one of the largest consumer buying clubs of its kind, and we are convinced they are dedicated to using feedback from customers to continually improve their policies and procedures.
One DirectBuy executive explained about their many changes stating, We have a team of service support specialists available specifically to address concerns from members and guests who visit Rip-Off Report. We want to ensure that their experiences with DirectBuy are positive, whether they join or not." Should you require this assistance, please contact them at firstname.lastname@example.com Provide your name, the date of your issue, and the name of the location you visited. If you are a member, please include your member number if available.
Given DirectBuys commitment to excellent customer service, they were alarmed by some of the complaints lodged with Rip-off Report. Rip-off Report found that most complaints about DirectBuy were made by non-members who were critical of the cost of membership and the policy that a decision about membership must be made the same day of the open house visit. The policy is there to protect the manufacturers. It ensures their confidential pricing cannot be used by non-members to negotiate better deals with retail stores, thereby protecting the best possible pricing to members. The policy has not changed, but as stated above, new tiers and terms of membership are being offered at participating club locations
DIRECT BUY recognizes that complaints posted on Rip-off Report (true or not) are issues that need to be addressed and if handled correctly can be valuable learning opportunities. With the feedback generated by Rip-off Reports Investigation DirectBuy has made the necessary organizational changes to allow their members a more streamlined approach to problem resolution and a total overall commitment to customer experience. As one senior executive stated, We have learned that even the most committed companies can make mistakes, but if you really pay attention, you can learn from them. Weve adjusted policies to please both members and manufacturers, and we hope that anyone who has further suggestions on how we can improve our services will contact us with their ideas.
In summary, after our investigation, which included discussions with DirectBuy Senior Management, Rip-off Report is convinced that the company has been and is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client satisfaction.

Direct Buy High Pressure, Vague, Misleading Woodhaven New York
After nibbling on their well presented advertising carrot, my wife and I decided that our upcomming refurnishing plans might be considerably cheaper if we joined what seemed to be a highly recognized (BBB, Dun & Brad, Fortune 500 Co) (PS,A CHECK THAT NIGHT REVEALED NO SUCH AFFILIATIONS OR RANKINGS AS CLAIMED !!!)buyers co-op. From the first moment,there were red flags.
At every turn there were rules restricting every movement.....who could attend, who MUST attend, even who COULDN'T attend. Couple this with very little, if any, advance info about the programs cost or terms, and it was easy to see why our "Scam Antennas" were at 3/4 mast already. We were unimpressed as we were greeted by a fast and smooth talking salesman, who was equally unimpressed having to try to sell his product to a guy who wore his name tag on his hat and his wife who spilled coffee on her white shirt in the car on the way over.
Maybe it was that,it may have been my wifes obvious disintrest, or maybe it was when my lack of price savvy was exposed when we played "The price is Right" regarding a grandfather clock and pool table, my guesses overshot the actual price by more than double. Whatever the reason, he decided to focus his attention on the other two couples in our group, neither of whom would be prepared for what was to come.
I must admit that my antenna retracted a bit during our visit. As we were shown one product after another, with all the pricing involved, it seemed like a good deal. We had concerns about quality, those were answered immediatly as there were many high quality companies involved. As we neared the end of the tour, 90 minutes into it, my wife and I were actually taking a guess, or establishing a monitary threshhold that we would accept. Again, I was way off the mark, but I don't think anyone in the room was ready for the numbers that followed.
All I remember is some mention of $4300 and than a yearly membership for 7 years thereafter....not much memory of what happened next, my wife says I stopped breathing for about 10 minutes.
Next thing I knew we were sitting at a table waiting for the salesman to give us a "personal" talk. They divided us up VERY QUICKLY before anyone could recover enough to speak, and although there were PLENTY of tables to sit at, we were directed to sit at tables ONLY with a "Reserved" sign on them. The tables were spaced far enough apart the you that if you tried to you couldn't communicate with anyone else unless you had a cell phone. Well, strike that because one of the endless rules was NO CELL PHONES ALLOWED.
Antennas were up again as our salesman came to our table to gauge intrest. I guess my wife asked one of those foolish questions, when she asked if she could look at the brochures to get a guage of what products were offered and at what prices. The answer was a condensending "....if you NEED to."
When she asked the timeframe of our decision,it was explained to us that we weren't allowed a second visit, as they were protecting against people who would use their showroom as a price barometer and run back and forth to retailers with price quotes, the manufactureres would receive complaints from the retailers, and not allow direct purchases in the future. Fair enough, but as a person who spends a few weeks investigating the price and detail of a new cordless phone, I would like a night or two before commiting to spending $6000. The answer was that we had to sign now, or never be allowed to. She asked if we could think about it and CALL, not visit again, so as to eliminate the threat of our price knowledge. This time the answer was about how many people visited the showroom. I interupted and s l o w l y repeated the question, as we didn't ask about people visiting. The response was to hand us off to another salesman.
After all this my wife looked at me and said, "Lets go.
From the time I was home looking at the website, I should have decided it up to a scam. There are SO many red flags,they are VERY good about theit business,as most scam artests are. They do everything with a purpose, a reason, but we went for a look anyway. I can only wonder about the other couples that were still in conversation with these people as we left. They could probably ill afford to lose that much money, as they seemed to be people that were just making ends meet, and were going to fall prey to their talk about how you can do more for your family by joining.
The main purpose of this writting is just to inform all that read it that there is nothing about this deal that smells good, and after reading all of these complaints, I am so glad that we walked away. Hindsight is so clear now that this is a scam, but this afternoon, it wasn't that clear. The funny thing is that I told my wife, that if they weren't so greedy ($6k),and asked for say $2k, I would have given her an argument for signing.
It won't be long before I see them on a "Shame on you" type news report.

Different Experience
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 06, 2007POSTED: Saturday, January 06, 2007
My experience as a "member" has been generally positive. I think the main problem with this company is that each "showroom" is an individually owned franchise run by people who have never had a business before. Some owners may be unscrupulous. Unless the corporate office hears a complaint directly from you, the company cannot address complaints. People might be able to change their sales tactics by calling the corporate office and complaining. I think the sales program comes from them, since everyone has about the same experience.
Membership to this company is only worth it if you are doing some MAJOR purchases for your home. Not a new TV or sofa, but MAJOR purchases. My family has purchased an entire kitchen - cabinets, sink, faucet, countertop, major appliances, the works. We saved more than our membership fee on just the cabinets. We compared apples to apples at Home Depot, Expo and Lowes. Our high end countertop was 3/4 the price of anywhere else we shopped. We got better quality for less money. Period. My showroom rep told me up front that we wouldn't save much on electronics. The major savings are in kitchens, furniture and window coverings. The window coverings we purchased were one-third of the sale price of Home Depot Expo.
This membership has allowed my family to buy higher-end things than we could have afforded otherwise for less than the average quality we could normally afford. Doing this requires an enormous amount of research, patience and the willngness to check out brands you aren't familiar with. Homework is essential, but if money is tight, you do what you have to do.
We have had an issue with our showroom that we couldn't get resolved and after calling the "mother ship", the franchise changed the way they handle calls and my problem was solved within a week.
My advice to people having problems with their local showroom is to call or write the corporate office. You have nothing to lose by doing so.
Good Luck.

This says it all:
"Their income is totally dependant on your membership fee. That is it. They make not one cent off of your purchase."
So once they have your money, given that they "make not one cent off of your purchase", what are their incentives to actually perform their services?? There ARE no incentives for them to perform their services. So if they disappoint you, too bad!

Response On Direct Buy
AUTHOR: Richard - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 03, 2007POSTED: Wednesday, January 03, 2007
I have done several homes and countless gifts. They were pretty upfront with me on whether or not the investment would pay off for me. In the end, I've been able to do so much more and get such a great quality, I recommend them to people I feel can use them but there are many who can't. Everyone can find closeouts and stumble on great deals in retail is the bottom line, but this place, the store isn't dictating, your style is. So join don't join but everyone slamming the place thus far is not a member and I am so take that into consideration.

They also reported that shipping and handling ate away any savings on the few items that were actually priced lower.
This company used to go by the name Unimart, and I remember my friends purchasing a membership in the late '80s for $1200, and then buying furniture at a different store anyway.
Do not fall for this rip-off.

1. It's marketed at 3:30AM eastern like your usual 'get-rich-quick-scheme' or should I say, 'too-good-to-be-true' methods.
2. They never discussed how much the membership fee was, only how much money you'd be allegedly saving. But I'm guessing when you add back the cost of membership, you really don't save much.
Like I said, I'm thankful for both comments. Fortunately for me and my money, I won't be utilizing Direct Buy for anything but a good laugh and something to watch when I can't sleep.
I think the lady speaking for Direct Buy contradicted herself and may merely be a representative from Direct Buy attempting to 'save face' for the company.
If you are remodeling your home and the quote is 21K for cabinets. You get those cabinets from Direct Buy for 9K. Well now lets add back the 5K you spend for membership your already back to 14K. You never mentioned taxes which you have to add to this equation so now it's 15.12K. If the membership cost 1K/year for the 6 remaining years you are under contract (Note: you'll only probably remodel your home once in that time span) you're up to $21,120 for your cabinets and I didn't even include the cost of labor, shipping, & shipping insurance.
So, to people who can do basic arithmetic IT'S NOT A GOOD DEAL! Coupled with the fact that you can't find out if you're getting a deal until you've already entered into a contract, you're getting played. Maybe if you were filthy rich, this would work for you. However, even rich people don't remodel that often.
Well that's my two cents, thanks for the penny for your thoughts...

AUTHOR: Lisa - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, September 17, 2006POSTED: Sunday, September 17, 2006
All three of us had joined because we were either building or buying new homes. My mother and step-sister were building new, and I was purchasing an older home.
If you are not looking to completely remodel your home, Direct Buy may not be economical. But if you are looking to remodel or build, its a good choice.
Yes, I agree, they have a harsh sales approach. You come in, you see the video, you work with a sales person, see some examples and are then expected to join up or never come back.
Now, I have read several of these blogs of people complaining or insisting that they can get a better deal. If you are getting a better deal then Direct Buy then its either stolen or discontinued.
Here is how the place works. Their income is totally dependant on your membership fee. Thats it. They make not one cent off of your purchase. The purchases are pooled together from across the nation at the same time and sent directly to the manufacturer. It is pretty impossible for you to get a better deal at a retail store then an order directly with the manufacturer for 1,000 plus units.
We had purchased one of those home weather stations that tells you outside temperature, humidity, etc. A week after we received it we received a check back for $25. Thats because from the time we ordered it until the manufacturer shipped it from their location, they had lowered their prices. Like I said, they dont make a penny off of any product sales.
Now, some items have more retail markup then others. For example, jewelry is marked up somewhere in the neighborhood of 300% when you buy it at Macys or other stores. But, electronics are marked up only about 10%. So what you might save in flat price you make up for in delivery costs.
My mothers biggest purchase were her cabinets for her log home. She went to Consumer kitchens first, had them draw it out, selected her cabinets, the whole nine yards. Price: $21,000 before installation. She purchased the same make and model, same configuration from Direct Buy for about $9,000. I too made a cabinet purchase for an accessory kitchen in my home, $7,000 retail price $3,600 Direct Buy.
My husband and I have also purchased outdoor lighting, indoor lighting, small electronics, washer, dryer, refrigerator, freezer, stove, range hood, and a chandelier. The chandelier is $600 and I paid $200 for it.
What I like most is being able to spend Home Depot prices but get top quality with Brand names that I wouldnt usually wouldnt spend the money on.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
by J.K. Rowling
Time Quotes in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
How we cite our quotes: Chapter.Paragraph or Chapter.Section.Paragraph (depends on whether or not the chapter had sections - some did not)
Quote #16
They watched the four men climb the steps and disappear from view. For a few minutes the scene was deserted. Then –" (21.218)
The diction here emphasizes how the time travel adventure is sort of like watching a play. Words like "scene" and even "then" let us know how a story is unfolding before Harry and Hermione, who are basically watching from the woods like an audience.
Quote #17
"Hermione – what'll happen – if we don't get back inside – before Dumbledore locks the door?" Harry panted.
"I don't want to think about it!" Hermione moaned, checking her watch again. "One minute!" (22.1.12-13)
As Back to the Future taught us, messing around with time can be very dangerous. Here, Harry and Hermione risk screwing up their own time loop.
Quote #18
"Hasn't your experience with the Time-Turner taught you anything, Harry? The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed [...]" (22.3.42)
This book definitely focuses a ton on the past, but there's also a lot about the future here. Hence, a thematic focus on time itself. Most of our forays into the future are also journeys into the ridiculous, courtesy of quack Professor Trelawney. But Dumbledore, who acts like he's guest-starring on The Universe or an episode of Fringe, points out that Trelawney's profession is actually a tough one. Predicting the future is very hard since it requires accurately reading human behavior. Oddly enough, Hermione is a better predictor of future events, given her intelligence and her perceptiveness, than Trelawney is.

I checked my bank account online and found out that a check was paid to the order of FloridaWay, with the address I provided. I am able to see all the copies of checks online, so I have all the info, it also says "This is a LEGAL COPY of your check. You can use it the same way you would use the original check.
I called the number showed on that check, they offered me a new package to be send, so I can look up and if I don't like it I'd be able to cancel and refund the money. I never received anything.
Today I called them again. I canceled my account and found the way to refund. Assistant gave me address, where I have to send a note to and they'll send me check with $149 back.
But it's not the end. The address she provided is almost the same as on the copy of the check my bank has, but names of the cities differ.
Address on the check: 2655 Ulmerton Rd. Ste. 407, Clearwater, FL 33762
Address she gave me: 2655 Ulmerton Rd. Ste. 407, Largo, FL 33762
I went online to find out if either of those addresses exists, that's how I found www.ripoffreport.com. I checked the zip code for Largo, it's different. I'm sending a letter to the first address, hope it'll work out. We'll see.

A sprawling property catering to large-scale events and corporate travelers.
Overlooking Hyde Park on one side and Mayfair on the other, and less than five minutes' walk from Oxford Street, Grosvenor House's location is one of London's most sought after. Eight floors, 420 rooms and 74 suites put the hotel up with some of the largest in the area. Accommodations are in keeping with the signature Marriott style: creamy yellow walls, crisp white bedding and burgundy sashes across the beds, which are fitted with 300-count Egyptian cotton linen. Executive rooms come with 32-inch flat screen TVs with the latest movies on demand and high-speed Internet access; executive guests can also enjoy complimentary continental breakfast in a dedicated lounge, where snacks are served throughout the day. The grand ballroom (the Great Room) has a capacity of 2,000 and attracts major balls and events, such as the annual International Grosvenor House Art and Antiques Fair. It is also often booked for fashion week, so if you're looking for a quiet stay, make sure there are no large events before booking. On-site Corrigan's Mayfair is a treat for fans of wild fish and seafood, and for steak lovers, the JW Steakhouse serves hand-cut selections of dry-aged American USDA prime beef. After dinner, classic cocktails can be enjoyed at the Bourbon Bar.

RFID Chips in Guns Could Allow Remote Disabling of Firearms
TriggerSmart, which is a system that uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) to childproof guns. TriggerSmart's technology — which had a patent granted in the U.S. last year and has an international patent pending — has the vision to create "smart guns" where only an authorized user could fire the weapon. The technology also seeks to allow remote disabling, called Wide Area Control, of firearms in certain areas, such as airports and schools.
The Irish inventor of the TriggerSmart concept Robert McNamara explained to Reuters in December "we have a technology that could have helped prevent [the Sandy Hook] massacre."

Rule of law key to maintaining development gains | Magdy Martinez Soliman
19 Jul 2013
For the first time in history, the possibility of eradicating poverty is a reality. The number of people living in extreme poverty has fallen across every developing region over the last 12 years.
Yet, we face considerable challenges to human development largely shaped by growing inequalities within countries. Bad governance, poor health, low quality education, the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation continue to be the drivers of universal poverty.
The rule of law is essential to address the current threats to progress on human development. No country affected by widespread conflict or fragility has achieved a Millennium Development Goal target. Effective security and justice systems are necessary to facilitate transitions out of fragility and conflict and to prevent violent crime. Moreover, the rule of law as the principle of governance that no one is above the law reinforces accountability to the law and establishes checks on power that reduce abuse of authority and corruption.
Of course, the relationships between the rule of law and human development are complex and multi-faceted. The challenge will be to develop measurable targets and indicators for the Post-2015 framework that resonate within diverse country contexts and enable the political and social action at the national and local levels necessary to improve the rule of law.
The High Level Panel on Post-2015 has suggested some relevant targets:
• increase the share of women and men with secure rights to land and property;
• ensure equal right of women to own and inherit property, sign a contract, register a business and open a bank account;
• provide free and universal legal identity, such as birth registration;
• reduce violent deaths and eliminate all forms of violence against children;
• ensure justice institutions are accessible, independent, well-resourced and respect due-process rights;
• enhance the capacity, professionalism and accountability of the security forces, police and judiciary.
With the discussions on the Post- 2015 agenda still evolving, time remains to consider how best to incorporate the rule of law. The voices of people from all over the world is making it clear, however, that the next development agenda must tackle the hard questions before us if the gains made are to be maintained and if we are to build together the world we want.

What are you most proud of? I am proud of the steam spirals - my free-motion quilting skills are improving. I also love that this project uses 1" strips of fabric from my scrap box making it cheap and beautiful!
This is one of my favourite patterns. I made one using fabric selvedges - just love it.
What a neat idea! Can't wait to try this!!
This is actually one of my favourite patterns. I love using scraps and the log-cabin block is great for using up short pieces of left-over binding. I hope you enjoy the pattern.

I cannot get enough of these. I ordered two boxes last time and they were gone in no time. I thought my cookie-eating days were over when I moved to Japan (not very gluten-free-friendly), but these have saved me! They are not too sweet, the texture is great.. Exactly what I would expect out of animal cookies.

And I said of course. But let me call these company's to make sure this promotion is real. Ken said sure, but before I do that he will upgrade me to the Sheraton five star hotel. At that point I really did not believe the scam. So I hung up and called Universal directly. They told me that they don't know of such a promotion and don't know who etourandtravel/floridatourandtravel or who this KEN HERDGEN is. So I call the hotels and the same story from them. Wow was I glad that I did not fall for this. Still no free passes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I call Etourandtravel/floridatourandtravel back and asked them if any of What Ken had told was true? They don't even use three star accomodations for there vacation's. It is not a mid-size rental car and that the free Daytona stay has surchrges you have to pay for(how is it free?) and thay I would have to do 2 seperate timeshare tours to receive the discount on the vacation. Ken Told me that there were not any tours involved @ all. That they would provide breakfast or lunch and tell us about the storms and the remodeling that has been done. How can these guy's sleep @ night? So they finally gave me my free passes and they say to redeem I must attend a timeshare presentation in New smyrna beach. Nothing is free in life. I learned another good lesson. BUYER BEWARE.

The Westerner Steak Sandwich
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 10 mins
This is off of the Texas Beef web site. I made them last night, and they were quite good, except for the fact that I couldn't find any decent sub rolls, so I had to buy small French bread loaves which ended up making the sandwich more bread than beef, but try them. I also put slices of Muenster cheese on ours.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 beef sirloin strip steaks or 4 rib eye steaks, cut to 1/2 inch thick
- 2 teaspoons mccormick McCormick's Montreal Brand steak seasoning
- 1⁄2 cup salsa
- 1⁄2 cup sour cream
- 1⁄2 cup green onion, chopped
- 4 oblong shaped rolls, split and toasted
- 1 leaf lettuce
- cheese (optional)
- Mix salsa, sour cream and green onions to make the sandwich spread.
- Season both sides of steaks with Montreal seasoning.
- Grill over medium coals for 6-7 minutes, turning once after about 4 minutes. Or pan-fry over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes, turning occasionally.
- Spread rolls with 2 tablespoons of spread per side. Top with lettuce leaves and sizzling steak.
- Close sandwich and eat it!
Most Helpful
Wow, what could be better than a juicy steak with this bold and spicy sandwich spread? This had so much flavor and only took a few minutes to make on the gas grill. A great alternative to a burger cookout.

In it my grandfather and nine other young airmen stand in front of their B-17 plane, shoulders squared, staring proudly at the camera. They were probably in England at the time, getting ready to fly bombing raids over Germany in 1943.

Boeing Never Considered Possibility Of 787 Battery Fires New Report Says By Carolyn Adolph • Dec 1, 2014 AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta Listen Listening... / A report from the National Transportation Safety Board says Boeing, its contractors and the Federal Aviation Administration share the blame for a fire in a 787's lithium-ion battery at Boston's Logan Airport two years ago. That fire was one of two incidents that led to the grounding of the Dreamliner fleet in 2013. The NTSB said the fire on the tarmac at Boston Logan was the result of a short-circuit in a single battery cell. It resulted in smoke, which Boeing said would be a one in 10 million event.

I see a collect call for 7.38 on my bill from OSP Communications. I called AT&T and they tell me I must call OSP. She affirms that I do not have long distance service.
I call OSP, talk with operator 2011, who tells me that this must have been a billing error and that she is going to credit my account. I say, what account, I do not have an account with you. She said it will go back through AT& T.
Before I called AT&T, I logged into this site. Thank goodness there are others who take the time to report these rip offs, so we do not get taken advantage of.

This camera is a complete flop in my opinion. I'm really disappointed with Canon's IQ as of late. Nikon/Sony have completely changed the game with respects to IQ. Nikon was cranking out images that looked this good or better almost 10 years ago. However, I Can't wait to see the image quality from the 5DS! If it surpasses the D800 series we are all winners!
Few thoughts,
1. Not very impressed with many of these pictures esp the 16-35mm, they looked way better in the dpreview of the lens shot with the D3X. However, the processed pics do look better.
2. I am now seeing why the AA filter is removed and hoping the D800E does a better job.
3. Yes it is a sony sensor, the D3 and D3X were not made by Sony the end!
4. Also to clear up the myth, you don't have to be more careful with focus accuracy unless you have a shallow DoP, or you're shooting at a higher iso due to the fact that noise will degrade parts of the image. There is absolutely no pt to shoot at high iso's at 36 degraded mp's. Pro's know this and will set their cam accordingly.
5. That being said ppl caring abt the high iso samples of the D800 clearly don't understand the application of this camera.

Devon Alexander Holds On To Defeat Lucas Matthysse
By Chris LaBate
Family Arena, St. Charles, MO. - In a very important junior welterweight bout, Devon Alexander (22-1, 13KOs) won a close ten round split decision over Lucas Matthysse (28-2, 26KOs). The scores were 96-93 for Alexander, 96-93 for Matthysse, and 95-94 for Alexander.
The first three rounds were close. Alexander was using quick punches and rapid movement, while Matthysse pressed the action and was looking to land big combinations. At the start of the fouth round, Alexander was dropped for the first time in his career from a counter hook. He seemed to have a clear head once he got up and went back to boxing Matthysse for the rest of the round.
Alexander came back in the fifth with a close boxing workrate. Matthysse was busy as well and stayed on pace with Alexander. After Alexander boxed very well in the sixth, Matthysee came back in the seventh to batter Alexander with good punches to the head and body. In the eight, Matthysse continued to punish Alexander with punches to the head and body. Alexander seemed to be very tired and unable to get off as Matthysse was able to land his shots on a more consistent basis. Alexander, possibly saving some energy, was standing and trading but not getting the better of those exchanges.
A close ninth round, Alexander was on his toes, sticking and moving as Matthysse chased and was looking for something big to land. Instead, Alexander was landing flush shots to the head. Matthysse looked puzzled by Alexander's sudden burst of energy. In the tenth, Alexander was stunned in the first few seconds and came back with a combination of punches. Both were tired, with Matthysse pressing forward and Alexander moving and holding, but throwing a few punches in spurts.
Both boxers will return to the HBO airwaves in the near future. Alexander showed heart by hanging in there and weathering the heavy fire of Matthysse's punches. Matthysse, with his solid chin and knockout power, will always be a welcome addition to any televised boxing program, but fighters in the junior welterweight division won't be lining up to face him.

MMT Observatory, one of the world's largest astronomical telescopes, located on top of 2,600-metre- (8,530-foot-) high Mount Hopkins, 60 km (37 miles) south of Tucson, Ariz. When it was built in 1979, it was originally called the Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) because it combined the light collected by six 180-cm- (70-inch-) diameter telescopes into a single image. It thus had the light-gathering power of a single 450-cm (176-inch) telescope. Because of many technical innovations, the construction of the MMT cost substantially less than that of a conventional telescope of comparable size. At the time of the MMT's construction, making one giant mirror would have been very expensive; however, subsequent innovations in mirror fabrication made the production of large mirrors more affordable. Therefore, from 1998 to 2000, the six mirrors of the MMT were replaced by a single 650-cm (255-inch) mirror. The MMT was renamed the MMT Observatory. The MMT Observatory is jointly owned and operated by the Smithsonian Institution and the University of Arizona.
MMT Observatory
Alternate Titles: MMT, Multiple Mirror Telescope
...that is very close to that required for astronomical observations. Angel's lab went on to make some of the largest telescope mirrors in the world, including the 6.5-metre (255-inch) mirror for the MMT Observatory, which was first used in 2000, and the two 8.4-metre (331-inch) mirrors for the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory, which were first used in 2005 and 2008.
Telescope in which a spherical primary mirror receives light that has passed through a thin aspherical lens, called a correcting plate, that compensates for the image distortions—namely,...

This 9 Hole expansion to the Brewster Ridge Course played in the meadows next to the Brewster Ridge Pro Shop until an expansion to 18-holes in the summer of 2015 when it expanded to include over 40 more acres around the beautiful fields around Bootleggers Basin. A much more open course, Fox Run Meadows offers accessibility to those new to the game with beginner tees, but when players step back to the white, blue or gold tees, the challenge gets increasingly difficult. With a significant amount of out of bounds, players' games are tested in a different way with both power and control a necessity in order to navigate the course. One of the most picturesque walks on the Smugglers' property, players are routinely offered beautiful views of the Sterling mountain range and Mount Mansfield.
