Consider the full picture
January 9, 2014
In a recent Other Voices guest column, an official of the Nevada County Republican Women Federated set out some conservative principles. Both sides of the political spectrum have what might be called "belief superiority." This leads to a lack of balance by not dealing with an entire particular topic but only that part which supports their views.
There a two topics in the column that I will use to illustrate this tendency.
In the use of "welfare" and "welfarism," corporate welfare is not included, such as: large corporations like GE paying little or no taxes, using loop holes not available to us; corporate farmers receiving taxpayer subsidized CVP irrigation water, our own Rep. LaMalfa's family receiving millions in agricultural subsidies, etc., etc.
"Due to the enormous political and economic power concentrated in the hands of union leaders, political life is corrupted …" What about the power of the Koch brothers, Adelson and Karl Rove's fundraising committee to influence political campaigns, or Valero financing a state proposition to advance its interests, etc., etc.?
In order to achieve a balance in our actions, it would be beneficial to our society to consider the entire picture.

Court stalls effort to revamp NM oil and gas rules
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A st[auth] ate district judge has stalled administrative efforts by New Mexico regulators to revamp rules that govern how oil and gas developers handle drilling waste.
Judge Raymond Ortiz has granted a request by the New Mexico Environmental Law Center that the state Oil Conservation Commission be prohibited from reconsidering the pit rule until legal appeals have been resolved.
Ortiz issued his order Tuesday.
The pit rule was designed to prevent ground and surface water contamination. It governs how oil and gas producers handle wastes from drilling operations in buried tanks, sumps, pits and closed-loop systems.
While environmentalists argue the rule is needed to protect the state's water supplies, the industry contends it needs to be amended to ensure New Mexico producers remain competitive with energy developers in neighboring states.

Haddin's heroics for A team in vain as Pakistan steal victory
Page Tools
Haddin celebrates his 100 against Pakistan.
Photo: Getty Images
Pakistan finally salvaged a win from their wretched Australian tour, after a dramatic collapse from Australia A undid a brilliant century from NSW's Brad Haddin in their one-day clash in Adelaide yesterday.
Australia A lost 6-12 in just 23 balls as Pakistan claimed a 13-run victory with eight balls left.
It was rough justice on skipper Haddin, who smashed 129 from 123 balls before being run out on the second last ball of the 48th over. His team had looked in control at 4-254 in the 45th over, needing just 26 runs to win.
Haddin was critical of his side's performance.
First, Australia A allowed the hard-hitting Abdul Razzaq and Shahid Afridi to lift Pakistan to 8-279, including 110 off the last 10 overs after the visitors were struggling at 5-117 in the 30th over. Then came the hosts' late collapse with victory in sight.
"I think the game came down to our last 10 overs with the ball, we didn't execute our plans very well," Haddin said. "With the batting, 10 overs out we looked like we had things under control but they executed their plans well, and 6-12, it probably shouldn't happen at this level."
Razzaq, who starred for Pakistan with 89 and two wickets, said it was an important victory. "I think always a win gives you a lot of confidence," he said. "We needed that. We needed that because we lost the Test series and everybody was down. I hope we will do better in the one-day [tri-series]."
The all-rounder said the team had drawn confidence from the presence of their captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, playing his first match since a back injury sidelined him during the first Test, in Perth last month.
However, he conceded a lack of depth in the attack would be Pakistan's major problem heading into the one-day series against Australia and the West Indies, after Haddin and the dashing David Hussey (45), in particular, scored with ease yesterday.
"But we are still struggling with the new ball," Razzaq said. "We are still missing a combination with the bowling. We couldn't bowl properly with the new ball, we're missing the pace of Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Sami. We don't have experienced bowlers now, except Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, he's quite old so he's doing well."
But Razzaq, who believes he has shaken the mystery illness that put him in hospital during the Test series, was confident the bowling would lift with the inclusion of Akhtar, who hopes to return to the side for its first one-dayer in Hobart on Sunday. Razzaq said the paceman, who is suffering from a back injury, would be rested for tonight's Twenty20 match against Australia A.
Inzamam also is determined to play in the tri-series but looked out of touch in his 40-ball innings of just 10 runs.

It is time to brush the cobwebs off the cables running into the outboard engine.
When it comes to snapper fishing, there is something psychologically positive about the calendar clicking over to October and prospects on the water seem brighter every day.
August and September are the worst months for catching snapper according to surveys of anglers over the years, and with warmer weather and the traditional start of the summer season looming at Labour Weekend, it is time to brush the cobwebs off the cables running into the outboard engine and check the batteries. The sun seems warmer and the garden is coming alive. And that is without even mentioning the rugby.
Reports this week from out on the water are more positive, too.
A lot of bird activity involving gannets and terns around the Manukau Harbour entrance is an indication of fish moving into the harbour, with kahawai, snapper and trevally being reported among catches, as well as the gurnard which are expected at this time of year.
Snapper are several weeks early turning up in the harbour, but there are a lot of small fish among them. One tip from veteran angler John Moran is to keep baits moving.
Last Saturday saw the best runs of whitebait all season in the lower Waikato River, with one fisherman catching 20kg, but the next day it was back to normal with few fish in the nets.
Small schools of snapper are also turning up on both sides of the Rangitoto Channel, off the Takapuna cliffs and where the sand barges used to be anchored. The southern side of the cable line between The Noises and Tiritiri Matangi Island is also holding some fish, but with a lack of bird activity, a keen eye on the screen of the fish-finder is needed.
Drifting with soft baits worked well for two anglers who took home limit bags of snapper up to 7kg. They were fishing in 20m of water and working the lures when they saw sign on the sounder.
Straylining with large baits in close to the rocks around Tiri has also produced some snapper to 8kg.
Scallops are in top condition, so a trip to the Haystack and The Noises for straylining fresh baits on the incoming tide and a dive for scallops sounds like a good option, with northerly winds expected.
Fishing from the rocks on the northern side of Kawau Island has produced some good snapper and kahawai for local anglers.
Further north, charter skippers are looking forward to increased activity after a long winter. "It is still tough," said Aaron Covavitch of the vessel Thor, based at Ti Point, "but there is a bit of life. The birds are starting to work on baitfish, and the snapper will start moving down from Bream Bay soon. It is not far off."
He said tarakihi were the main catch and were easy to find. "They love cold water. Just anchor on the pins and use small hooks and squid tentacles. They have no teeth and love to eat worms, so a small, wiggly tentacle is ideal."
Small hapuku were also moving into shallow water along the east coast, which for 'puka is 80-120m.
The last hour of the day was the best time for snapper.
In the Bay of Plenty, tarakihi are also popular, and can be found in 20m off Papamoa and all the way down the coast wherever rocks and foul can be located among the mud and sand.
There has been a bonus for snapper fishermen in Tauranga Harbour, with fish coming from 8m of water off Matakana Island. When small kahawai can be seen working on the surface, there have been good numbers of snapper under them.
Tarakihi and gemfish are coming from deep water off Whakatane and the first kingfish are starting to turn up at White Island.
Snapper are still slow in the Bay of Islands, where the water was 12.8C at the Russell Wharf after a spell of cold weather, and barracouta have moved back in. So the runs of school snapper are expected to be late this year.
There are gurnard and tarakihi at 40m, but out wide hapuku fishing has been good - although with the price of fuel, fewer boats are venturing out. As in the Hauraki Gulf, 'puka pups - young fish - can be found much closer over the next two months.
It is worth towing lures when travelling out to the 'puka grounds, as skipjack tuna have been around all year and albacore should turn up soon.
More fishing action can be found on Rheem Outdoors with Geoff, 5.30 tonight on TV3, where Dan Carter catches his first kingfish and biggest snapper at Great Barrier Island, and on the new internet television channel FishnHunt.Tv

RamView, September 15, 2013
From the Couch
(Report and opinions on the game.)
Game #2: Falcons 31, Rams 24
The Rams repeat a too-familiar pattern, digging themselves a hole with a frustrating, mistake-filled start much too bad for a decent 2nd-half rally to overcome. Put the shovels away, guys�
Position by position:
* QB: For Sam Bradford, the first half was the worst of times (12-21-124, INT, PR 54.5), the second was the best of times (20-34-228, 3 TD). Bradford did little besides dump off in the first half. That looked at least half by design. Brian Schottenheimer's intent appeared to be to run people deep to open things up underneath. You'd have to ask him. But it appeared to be half Bradford's choice, too. There was a play where he looked for Daryl Richardson three times before hitting him up the sideline for 18. Bradford got very good protection from his line again this week, and hasn't been sacked for four straight games now, but if anybody got close, that ball was coming out quick in the first half. Besides the insta-checkdowns all first half, Bradford had three passes knocked down at the line. He started the game throwing a 60-mph screen pass Lance Kendricks couldn't handle and D-Rich muffed another to Osi Umenyiora for a back-breaking 68-yard pick-six that gave Atlanta a 21-0 lead early in the 2nd. That just heaped on the frustration of the lack of downfield passing game. Bradford got it going later in the 2nd with a 47-yard bomb to Chris Givens, but that only set up a FG because a later pass to Givens wasn't very good. Throw that toward the pylon and Givens runs under it for a TD. The offense stalled until the Rams went no-huddle late in the 3rd and Bradford tried more to extend a play instead of instantly aborting it. He rolled right to hit Austin for the Rams' first TD, and scrambled for 23 to set up another to Austin Pettis, beating an all-out blitz. Bradford led the Rams to a TD for a third straight drive, finishing with a low sidearm fastball to Tavon Austin at the goal line. If not for one defensive lull in the 2nd half, that would have topped off another stirring late comeback for Bradford. But if not for the offense's struggles in the 1st half, the Rams wouldn't have needed it. Bradford's got the skill and leadership for the Ram offense to be more in sync than it was this week.
* RB: Falling behind 21-0 early sure doesn't help, but the running game was not a big part of the Ram offense this week, and Daryl Richardson contributed only 35 yards on only 10 carries, with a long of 10 on a cutback run in the 2nd. He wasn't much more effective as a receiver (5-45). He and Bradford were never really in tune on screen passes. They had a blitz beaten on the Rams' first play but the hang time on Bradford's pass allowed somebody called JOPLO BARTU to close and drop D-Rich for a loss. They had something going on a screen early in the 2nd but D-Rich hesitated and got only 4 out of another potentially big play. Benny Cunningham (2-0) then couldn't convert a 3rd-and-2, leaving D-Rich to barely convert 4th-and-inches. The next play, Richardson muffed another screen pass that bounced to Umenyiora, who sprinted 68 yards for Atlanta's third TD. That certainly re-opens questions about D-Rich as a receiver. He again carried almost the full running load. Isaiah Pead (1-1) returned from suspension but was limited to a couple of catches (2-18) in garbage time. Zac Stacy was inactive. The Rams' running game by committee so far this year, then, hasn't really been by committee at all, and hasn't been much of a running game at all, either.
* Receivers: Wow, was that ever a rapid trip for Jared Cook (1-10), from Pro Bowl to the side of milk cartons in just a week. Where did Cook go? At times he was a decoy to open up the Rams' vaunted dumpoff game. But other times, William Moore and apparent future Hall-of-Fame LB JOPLO BARTU had little trouble covering him one-on-one. Bradford threw one away in the 2nd where Cook couldn't even beat KROY BIERMANN deep. Wasn't Cook this inconsistent week-to-week in Tennessee? Look out next week, I hope. Attention to Cook and absence of running game helped Rams WRs have productive games. Chris Givens (5-105) set up the Rams' first score with a 47-yard bomb and took advantage of soft coverage in the 2nd half for nice gains on drag routes. Austin Pettis played like a big Danny Amendola, with a surprising number of catches (8-78). Lots of quick stuff, but several clutch plays: 2 catches on the first TD drive, a nice 18-yard play in the 4th where he broke a tackle and kicked off another TD drive, which saw him score on 3rd-and-goal with a dive into the end zone from the open right flat. Tavon Austin (6-47) dropped a couple but made up for it with two diving TD catches, a very nice sideline tightrope job at the pylon in the 3rd and a scoop on a low bullet at the goal line late in the game. The end-around still is not working, and there were times where the 4.38 Austin ran in February did nothing to get him downfield separation, but he'll evolve into a reliable target if he'll quit the drops. The numbers look good, but have to be tempered with the knowledge that Bradford struggled to find anybody open downfield in the 1st half. Givens has been shut down all season, Austin still has plenty of rookie moments and Pettis, for his lack of speed, continues to keep Brian Quick (1-15) and Stedman Bailey riding pine. The key to a consistent 60-minute effort is going to be better play from and better usage of Cook. Many more weeks like this one aren't going to cut it.
* Offensive line: Pass protection took a little bit to settle in, but Bradford hasn't been sacked for four games now and usually had time to throw. A stunt on Jake Long�s side pressured a 3rd down checkdown on the opening drive, and Long and Rodger Saffold were beaten to end the next drive with a throwaway. Kroy Biermann beat Saffold there but neither he nor Osi Umenyiora were big pass rush factors otherwise. Long came across and sealed off the right side of the pocket to let Bradford hit D-Rich for 18 in the 1st, and completely stuffed the end when Bradford hit Givens for 47 in the 2nd. Saffold was also strong there but had to leave the game later after taking a shot to his left knee. Replacement Joseph Barksdale started rough, having too much trouble with someone named Jonathan Massaquoi, but settled down after halftime. Protection should still grade out well, not that the passing game always took advantage. Bradford threw a pass away on 1st-and-10 at the ATL 16 in the 1st despite getting an absolute wall from Long and Chris Williams. Peria Jerry made a late crawl at Bradford�s feet, but with everyone else stonewalled, Bradford could have kept that play alive. Rams settled for a FG there. The line had some moments run-blocking. With a pocket collapsing in the 4th, Dahl got his man turned to give Bradford a lane for his 23-yard scramble. Long and Williams got D-Rich a nice hole for 8 in the 2nd, and Barksdale sealed off a blitz and got D-Rich a 10-yard cutback lane in the 2nd. The 2nd half did not start well. Dahl was beaten by apparent Pro Bowler Massaquoi to get D-Rich stuffed, then Williams whiffed on a blitzer and forced Bradford to unload quickly on 3rd-and-5. But most of the 2nd half, Bradford used the time it seemed he was getting already in the 1st half to extend plays, and the quick-tempo offense thrived. There are things to clean up, but the Rams are getting the kind of protection needed for a successful passing game.
* Defensive line: This game might have turned on a bad offsides call at the very start. Chris Long started by driving Lamar Holmes well up the line to meet old teammate Steven Jackson in the backfield for a loss, and a 3rd-down incomplete seemed to give the Rams early momentum, but Long got flagged instead for properly reacting to movement by Holmes, and the refereeing turnover sparked a TD drive. The 4-man rush got more pressure on Matt Ryan�s quick-passing attack than on Carson Palmer�s last week, but didn�t often disrupt Ryan (33-43-374), who had 237 passing yards by halftime, which led to the coaches calling a lot of blitzes that didn�t work. Robert Quinn was a step from a sack that might have shut down the first TD drive in the red zone. The Rams� 4-DE rush, which really needs a cool nickname, collapsed the pocket on Ryan to shut down the next drive. The Falcons couldn't protect their big lead on the ground. Michael Brockers blew up the backfield to help shut down a 2nd-quarter drive. They held Atlanta to a FG before halftime, with Eugene Sims stuffing Jacquizz Rogers and Will Hayes batting down a pass. The D really turned it on after halftime. Long strung out a run to get Alec Ogletree a big tackle for loss. Quinn, helped by awesome bull rush by Long, dropped Ryan for the 3-and-out and his 4th sack of the season. Quinn stuffed Rogers to stall the Falcons� next drive, and the Rams continued the 3rd-quarter blackout when Sims beat Justin Blalock from the inside on the 4-DE charge for the Rams� 2nd sack. The offense finally started coming back after that sack, making it 24-10, then 24-17 after the defense ended the 3rd by blitzing Ryan into uncalled intentional grounding at the goal line. In the 4th, though, Atlanta unleashed big banger Jason Snelling and a myriad of quick screens on an 80-yard, expertly-blocked, game-clinching TD drive that left the Rams reeling. Snelling ran it in from 11 after Tony Gonzalez handled Long, Brockers got completely manhandled, and Kendall Langford overran the play by a mile. All that left linemen free to pick off the Ram LBs. The Rams� last gasp didn�t go well, either. Quinn almost got to Ryan on 2nd down at the 2:00 warning, but not quite, and on 3rd-and-1, a blitz left Snelling all alone in the flat to send out the call for victory formation. The Rams got close on defense to turning this game around a few times. Close, but no victory cigar.
* LB: Alec Ogletree rallied after a tough start to lead the Rams with 8 tackles. Though his coverage wasn�t bad, Tony Gonzalez (just 4-33) beat him for 11 on a 2nd-chance 3rd-and-7 Atlanta never should have gotten on their opening drive, and a TD drive followed. Ogletree got caught looking into the backfield and broke late on a dumpoff to fullback Bradie Ewing (injured on the tackle) for 14. He didn�t play a screen to Jacquizz Rogers well that went for 16 down to the 14, then Steven Jackson (injured prior to the tackle) ran through him at the goal line to put the Falcons on top. In Alec�s defense, that is no easy solo tackle. Alec was effective at the line of scrimmage with a couple of run stuffs, dropping Rogers for a 4-yard loss to help shut Atlanta down in the 3rd. Will Witherspoon had several good plays in coverage, including a stuff of Rogers on a screen in the 4th. Jason Freaking Snelling turned out to be the back the Rams couldn�t account for, and at the worst time, in the 4th with the Rams down a TD. He started the Falcons� clinching TD drive with a 11-yard play-action pass with Witherspoon missing a tackle, and finished it with a 11-yard draw with Ogletree and James Laurinaitis getting erased by linemen. Laurinaitis looked good in pass coverage, but the Rams blitzed him a ton without him ever making it into the backfield. Atlanta clinched the game on 3rd-and-1 after Laurinaitis bit on play action and lost Snelling in the flat, giving up 20 yards. The LBs were steady, but it looks more and more like Ogletree�s the only big-play source of the group.
* Secondary: Play the old �take one play away� game, and Janoris Jenkins held his own against Julio Jones (10-101). He broke up a couple of sideline passes and tackled Jones short of the marker on a crossing route before halftime to get the Rams a 3-and-out. Unfortunately, Jenkins also gave up an 81-yard TD to Jones, lifting his numbers to 11-182. Rodney McLeod reportedly made the wrong play and was never in position to help, but Jenkins chomped like a sharknado on a double move by Jones that simply wasn�t very good. McLeod closed excellently to hold Jones to short gains a couple of other times, and blanketed Harry Douglas to start that 3-and-out before halftime, but with the Rams desperately needing the ball back at the end of the game, Jones got him with a stop-and-go move and took down a 17-yard jump ball on 3rd-and-3. Though not a complete spaz this week, Cortland Finnegan still gave up 20 to Douglas on 3rd-and-8 of the opening TD drive by guessing Douglas' break wrong. He was out of position too often on screens, did little as a blitzer, and he and McLeod got run over by Snelling for the coup de grace TD in the 4th. The Rams need much better play from Finnegan. So far this season they�re writing him checks his game can�t cash.
* Special teams: Special teams specialized in penalties, repeatedly putting the offense in terrible field position. Holding on the first Atlanta kickoff, Rams start at the 8. Stedman Bailey illegal block on a punt return, Rams start at the 11. Bailey again, holding on a punt return, Rams start at the 13. Ray Ray Armstrong holding on a punt return, Rams start at the 5. The Ram return game has been a letdown even without the penalties. Austin was usually inundated, and when he had room, he'd waste it by immediately jumping backwards after fielding the punt or trying to make six moves on people in the first yard. Cunningham kept the kick return job over Pead and bungled his only return, hesitating deep in his own end zone and only making the 15. Return teams continue to consistently set a bad tone for the Ram offense.
* Strategery: Things are supposed to be different for the Ram offense under Brian Schottenheimer this season, but another trademark slow start this week raises early questions of his ability to maximize the Rams' talent. The Rams have their best offensive line in a decade, and Atlanta played two rookie corners this week, including one the Titans abused repeatedly in preseason, yet the Rams waited most of the first half to even attempt to stretch the field. And by the looks of things, play-calling drove the Rams to Checkdown City more than Sam Bradford did. I saw enough receivers running downfield routes without really looking for the ball, or Bradford really looking for them, to tell me Schottenheimer was putting out a lot of decoys, and the dumpoffs went into areas the deeper routes cleared out. Atlanta took Cook out of the game with bracket coverage, but Schottenheimer�s usage of him was still curious. Rewinding plays to see where the heck he went, you see him staying in to block, or you see he�s off the field in a 5-wide set. Um, the Rams don�t have five receivers better than Jared Cook. And they have better blockers. Schottenheimer did nice work at the goal line, with nice route combinations to set up Pettis� TD and Austin�s 2nd. Run/pass balance wasn�t really a big issue. The Rams were 60/40 pass up until falling behind 21-0. Whether the passing game lacked ambition or took too long to suck the Falcons in, it still needs more than fine tuning.
Should have seen it coming, but it turns out the Ram defense was built to make the Atlanta offense look good. Typical soft Ram coverage encouraged Ryan to throw repeated quick hitters to Julio Jones and then let him run through arm tackles. Even with Jenkins on Jones, with Roddy White moving about as well as Joe Namath at the moment, Julio really ought to have been double-teamed. Another problem was the Ram blitz not really paying off. The main blitz returns were a pass batted by Ogletree and a false start and a grounding penalty neither of which got called. Meanwhile, Atlanta caught the Rams blitzing big on Jones� 81-yard TD, and a blitz failed on the final 3rd-and-1 of the game, taking McDonald out of run defense and leaving Snelling alone in the flat. Blitzing was called for with Atlanta abandoning the run after Jackson�s injury, which also left them without a prime pass protector. Tim Walton just didn�t dial up much that worked. Neither side of the ball really showed a game plan this week that was going to beat the Falcons.
* Upon further review: Scott Green's crew was in the tank for Atlanta from the start, calling Chris Long offsides instead of calling Lamar Holmes for a false start, turning an opening 3-and-out into an opening TD drive. Think the game isn't different if the right call is made there? Right after, Green buried the Rams deep in their end by calling a hold on the kickoff on... nobody. The head linesman got wiped out on the sideline on a 1st-quarter run and gave Snelling 3 yards when he got only one. Way to help him out, rest of crew. A phantom illegal motion call took away a Richardson run down inside the 5 and made the Rams settle for a FG. Replay did not show motion, or a flag, though Jake Long may have lined up illegally. William Moore caught Mike McNeill in an Alabama Slam in the 2nd, an impressive pro wrestling move but usually a penalty in football. The umpire called Scott Wells for holding that couldn't be seen on the TV replay shown from the umpire�s angle. Deep in Atlanta's end in the 4th, Ryan chucks one way out of bounds from his own goal line without even attempting to leave the pocket, but Green ludicrously ruled a receiver in the area. Rams receivers on their sideline, maybe. Unseeable calls made against the Rams, blatant calls not made against the Falcons. I wish I was more astonished at this garbage than I am. Grade: F-minus
* Cheers: Tony �Goose� Siragusa was the only thing to like about this week's Fox broadcast. They'd shoot from useless angles between plays and then get to the TV angle right before the snap. Hey, who wants to see formations or motion or blitz looks anyway? Lead man Kenny Albert seemed to miss a lot of spots, but in his defense, Fox's line-of-scrimmage marker didn�t always look right, either. Darryl �Moose� Johnston annoyed by only seeming to want to catch penalties on the Rams, somehow never finding any on Atlanta. He'd call phantom holds on the Rams but ignore a ref blowing a spot by 2 yards in Atlanta's favor or ignore a 3rd-down play where BARTU �covered� Cook by blatantly holding him and attempting to trip him. That's just the game of football, said Moose. Suck it, Moose. Siragusa at least played it both ways, calling out missed calls on grounding and Gonzalez pass interference. Siragusa works broadcasts from behind the end zone, but he'd be a good commentator from the TV booth. If he could actually fit in one.
* Who�s next?: It�s nowhere near as big a rivalry as it was in the late 70s and early 80s, but the Rams and Cowboys are getting together more often again after an almost 15-year hiatus. They�ll play for the sixth time since 2006 when the Rams visit the Best Little Showhouse in Texas next week. The teams have traded wins and losses in the last five meetings. The good news: this year is the Rams� turn. The bad news: that�s because DeMarco Murray ran absolutely wild over them the last time they met, gouging Steve Spagnuolo�s embarrassing run D for a Cowboys franchise record 253 yards in a 34-7 win in 2011.
Murray is not off to a fast start, and without Eli Manning gifting them the ball over and over, neither is the Cowboy offense. They look explosive on paper, but Kansas City just held them to 13, and the Giants were such a mess week one, while still nearly winning, they made Dallas hard to scout. New play-caller Bill Callahan�s philosophy seems very familiar. Tony Romo spent most of week 1 firing quick slants or dumping off to Murray. The Cowboys don�t seem to be leaning on the running game too much. Both Dallas tackles are good at sealing the edge, though, and Chris Long and Robert Quinn have to be wary not to get pinned inside, because Murray loves to bounce outside. Quinn vs. Tyron Smith may be the decisive matchup of the game. Smith is very athletic and has already shut down Jason Pierre-Paul this season. Dallas looks more vulnerable up the middle, with rookie Travis Frederick at center and 2nd-year UDFA Ronald Leary at LG. Dallas is looking to veteran Brian Waters to shore up RG, but the Rams should be able to do damage up the middle with the 4-DE attack. The Giants didn�t blitz Dallas much at all, preferring instead to double-team Dez Bryant, considered to be the best WR not nicknamed Megatron by many. Dallas will no doubt try to run Bryant on screens at Finnegan as often as they can. I hope Jeff Fisher will borrow a page from Tom Coughlin. 4-man rush and bend-but-don�t-break D kept the Giant defense in the game in Dallas. With Bryant double-teamed, Romo struggled to find receivers, and Laurinaitis can cover Jason Witten well enough for that to work for the Rams. If Finnegan holds up against Miles Austin in the slot, that puts pressure on rookie Terrance Williams, who naturally isn�t always on the same page as Romo yet.
The Rams may be traveling to Dallas, but they�ll face a Tampa defense; Monte Kiffin is back in the NFL and running the Cowboy attack. Dallas worked hard in the offseason to improve at forcing turnovers, and it took one week for it to pay off, with the Giants serving up SIX opening night. Job number one for the Rams is to play smart and take care of the ball. Kiffin�s M.O. has never been to blitz a lot, so the Rams need to win their 1-on-1�s up front. Dallas� switch to the 4-3 defense has made a down lineman out of Demarcus Ware, who maintains his amazing quickness off the ball. In the past, you�d expect him to line up over Barksdale, but it looks like Jake Long will get him at LT. Either way, it will be smart for the Rams to run at Ware to take advantage of his aggressiveness. The other end will either be Anthony Spencer fresh off an injury or, believe it or not, George Selvie, who can get nice push as a pass rusher but washed out in St. Louis because teams ran at him. That�s a matchup the Rams have to win so they can devote extra help on Ware if needed. Tons of classic Tampa speed in the Dallas LB corps between Sean Lee and Bruce Carter. They haven�t faced a TE even approaching Jared Cook�s caliber yet; then again, I�d have ranked either one well ahead of JOPLU BARTU before this season. Lee has been especially good in coverage. Also look out in the back for safety Barry Church, an impressive run defender and ball hawk who plagued the Giants opening night. Dallas� weak point seems to be, again, right up the middle. They�re hurting over center, with Jay Ratliff out due to a groin injury. The secondary gives up a lot of room over the middle on slants and crosses. Even with a very good receiving corps, the Giants picked their spots in Dallas, going at banged-up Morris Claiborne, who missed all of preseason, and not even throwing at Brandon Carr. If the Rams copy that strategy, but don�t commit six turnovers, they can beat Dallas, like the Giants probably should have.
This is the Rams� first regular season game in the Dallas GaudyDome, but most of them played there last preseason and they shouldn't be awed by their surroundings. This is no time for stage fright. Focus will be critical, with a STUPID Thursday night brawl with the ***** right around the corner. It will be critical for Jeff Fisher and staff to have their players in the right place mentally, and, ahem, on the drawing board. The next ten days are a pivotal point of the Rams� 2013 season; Fisher and staff must be prepared to steer through it well.
-- Mike

Mets: Johan Santana healthy and pitching in
NEW YORK – A few blocks from the boardwalk, the $137.5 million ace stood inside a church building. Johan Santana was wearing an orange windbreaker – the same uniform worn by other charitable workers – and handing out brown lunch bags to superstorm Sandy victims.
Santana has not thrown a pitch since August, but Mets COO Jeff Wilpon on Tuesday morning offered proof that Santana would be ready come spring training.
"He was using his left arm to give out packages, guys," Wilpon joked. "So he's fine."
Santana and Wilpon were pitching in at a restoration site on the corner of 17th Street and Mermaid Avenue, a short stroll from the famous Coney Island Boardwalk. Volunteers dispensed bottled water, meals, fruit and flashlights to residents who still are trying to piece their lives back together.
"It's been very emotional, the whole thing," Santana said. "I came [Monday] and it wasn't as bad as it was a couple of weeks ago. Just to see people still struggling is tough."
As for his own health, Santana told reporters, "Everything is fine."
"I can do all my things," Santana said. "So no worries."
Except, well, he still has not thrown a baseball since the Mets shut him down in August.
"I'm resting right now and doing all the type of workout cardio and stuff," Santana said, "but I'm not throwing a baseball yet. Again, like I said, I feel good and I'm looking forward to next year. And I believe January, when we start throwing, I'll be ready to go all the way.
"Personally, I'm just working out, getting back into shape, and hoping that we'll be ready for spring training. As of right now, everything has been fine. I feel really good. Looking forward to next year."
Santana went 6-9 with a 4.85 ERA this past season. He threw the first no-hitter in Mets franchise history during his 11th start of the season. On that night, his ERA was a scorching 2.38.
But his season began to crumple after that 134-pitch gem. He allowed at least six earned runs in six of his final 10 starts. He suffered an ankle injury, then a back injury. The Mets decided to shut him down for the season in late August. Asked about his back Tuesday, Santana said, "Everything is good. Everything is no problem."
"I rest," Santana said. "That's what they want me to do. No concerns or anything, so that's a good thing. And my shoulder is fine, 'cause everybody is asking. My shoulder is fine. I have nothing wrong with it. It's just rest. That's what I needed. And I'm feeling good now."
Santana said the team has not discussed when he will resume baseball activities, but he is eager to return. On Tuesday, he even floated the possibility of winning a World Series.
"It's not easy to do," Santana said. "But at the same time, that's what we're working on."
The Mets and the Johan Santana Foundation teamed up to donate $25,000 to Coney Recovers (coneyrecovers.org), a relief organization servicing Coney Island residents and businesses hurt by superstorm Sandy.

On Wednesday Tana and I went for a hair cut. My parents know that I don't like to go. But, they drug me with my sister anyway. I really don't like going but the lady is nice to me. I want to be home where I can run and have fun. After Mom picked us up and we got home my brothers just ran after me and were trying to sniff me. I guess because I smelled different. That drives me crazy. I wish they would let me alone. Boomer tried to wash the clean smell off of me and his breath is bad. Mom said he is going to the dentist. That should be very interesting. I am going to have my mom or dad post a picture of me and my new hair cut. Stay tuned......Tess
Well, Mom told Tana and I tonight that we are going to the beauty parlor this coming week. I really don't think that I need to go. Mom says that I have to but I think it is just to keep Tana company. Allison, our hair dresser, always tells our parents that I am very wiggly. I am because I really don't want to be there. Tana likes to go but me........I would rather not. Tana has a lot more hair then I do and she likes the attention. I just want to have my Mom or Dad come and pick me up and bring me back home. DO you know that they put us in a drying cage? I just can't stand it. Check back and I will post more on my diary about the hair appointment. Tess

Okay, so in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day, I thought I'd do
Okay, so I don't know how authentic catfish stew is in terms of good pirate fare, but I do know it tastes good (which is important) and it's a great way to keep warm as it cools off. Even better, unlike a lot of my recipes it only has a few steps.
Argh you ready?
With all apologies to the #GoJunkFood crowd, this post is incredibly late (like months late), but as a few sharp people have noticed, I haven't exactly been posting a lot. Which is no good.
Most importantly, though, I must say sorry to the egg rolls. You should have your story told to the world so you can be eaten. You deserve it.
And if I don't say something about you, egg rolls, who will?
Okay, that's just silly. Just about everyone who digs Chinese food (and many who don't) love egg rolls and why not? They're fried. Fried is awesome. And they have pork inside. Pork is awesome.
And they're really easy to make at home. No foolin'. It really only takes three steps to put them together:
1. Make the filling.
2. Roll the roll.
3. Fry
Then it's meal time. Ready to give it a try?
When no one was looking, I snuck a bite of this thing and chipped a tooth. Not cool guys. Not cool.
Kansas City, MO (Sept. 12, 2011) – Kansas City's King of Locavore and an intrepid traveler on the mythical
Cannoli Trail, celebrated Master Italian Chef Jasper Mirabile Jr., has declared the month of September
"National Cannoli Month." By decree of Chef Jasper, master cannoli maker, dessert lovers in Kansas City
will be able to enjoy a massive show of cannoli power during September.
To commemorate National Cannoli Month, Chef Jasper has enlisted the expertise of famous Kansas City
jeweler, Tom Tivol, and award-winning Sprinkled with Sugar owner, Carey Iennaccaro, to create the World's Most Expensive Cannoli. Tivol discovered a 20th Century Italian Diamond Necklace, valued at $26,000, which he is pairing with the cannoli created by Iennaccaro. This special star-power cannoli features edible gold and is paired with a bottle of Louis Roederer 1999 Cristal Champagne, making it the World's Most Expensive Cannoli.
The cannoli can be ordered, with 24 hours notice, through December 2011. A replica gold leaf Cannoli is on display in the lobby of Jasper's Ristorante. For those who don't want to spend $26,453.25 but still want to enjoy a Golden Cannoli, Jasper's is selling a 24k gold cannoli-dusted with real gold-for only $12.
"I'm obsessed with finding the perfect cannoli," says Chef Jasper. "I even invented a Cannoli Therapy Patch for people who need a cannoli fix. I dressed up last year as a cannoli for Halloween. The last story in my most recent cookbook is On the Cannoli Trail' that recounts my search for the greatest cannoli in Sicily. Two years ago I traveled to 15 cities in Sicily searching for the greatest cannoli ever. I finally found it, but you have to read my cookbook, The Jasper's Kitchen Cookbook, to discover where!"
Chef Jasper claims the cannoli originated in Palermo and its surrounding areas. The dessert, which is a sweet shell filled with a ricotta cheese mixture, was originally made for Carnival, a festival occurring before Lent. The cannoli takes its name from its long tubular shape and dates back to the time when the Arabs occupied Sicily during the 9th century.
Jasper's offers melt-in-your-mouth cannolis that satisfy any craving. The local, award-winning institution has served cannolis for nearly 58 years and uses an old Sicilian recipe passed down from Jasper's greatgrandmother in Gibellina, Sicily. The shells are crisp and flaky and are filled with fresh ricotta cheese, chocolate bits, candied orange and lemon peel, along with a hint of cinnamon. Jasper's cannoli recipe can be found in The Jasper's Kitchen Cookbook published by Andrews McMeel.
Join Chef Jasper "On the Cannoli Trail" in Kansas City at Jasper's Ristorante and around town, as he appears at festivals and farmers' markets around the Kansas City metropolitan area in his custom Cannoli Mobile. He'll also make live appearances in the Cannoli Mobile from Hen House Markets on his weekly radio show, LIVE! From Jasper's Kitchen/KCMO Talk Radio 710. Jasper's Ristorante will offer daily specials and dozens of specialty cannoli flavors and unique cannoli creations to celebrate "National Cannoli Month."

Hey everyone, just a quick note to tell you that from 1-2 Eastern tomorrow I will be doing a Twitter panel on everyone's favorite topic–healthy eating!!! Just look for the Twitter hashtag #SSFoodFight!!!!
Okay, maybe healthy eating is not everyone's favorite topic BUT it is important, especially as kids are going back to school, lives are getting school-year-hectic (instead of summer-hectic), and it's getting a lot harder to find time to eat healthy. That's where Aetna Healthy Food Fight, the subject of tomorrow's panel, comes in.
Aetna's HealthyFoodFight.com is two things. First, it's a great source of recipes, videos, cooking tips, and glimpses of food personality Bobby Flay, who still won't take me on in a Throwdown. Okay, in all seriousness, it's a great website with lots of healthy food tips.
However, it's even more than that!
Healthy Food Fight Recipe Contest
Aetna wants to make their site gets even better…with your recipes! All you have to do is enter a recipe at: http://www.healthyfoodfight.com/recipe-contest.aspx in one of four regions. (Hello Dallas, here I come!!)
If your recipe makes the grade (for nutritional standards…sadly fried butter with mayo won't cut it), you will be entered in the Healthy Food Fight semi-finals. Then it goes to the vote. The top three vote getters in each region will compete head-to-head in their region's city for the chance to move to the finals.
Each Finalist will be flown by American Airlines to cook for Chef Flay (if it's not me, whoever gets to the finals, slip Bobby Flay my Next Food Network Star video!) for the chance to win $10,000 in groceries from Recipe.com!
To summarize: eat healthy. Eat well. Post a recipe. Win $10,000!
Why not, right?
So, if you're interested, post your recipe. If you want to know more or if you just want to say hi, I'll see you at the #SSFoodFight Twitter Party! Nothing is required, just point your Internet browser to Twitter and look for the #SSFoodFight hashtag!
Oh, and if you are wondering what SS means, it stands for SheSpeaks.com, who is putting on the Twitter party to get people aware of the contest.
See you then! Enjoy!
(Oh, and per FTC rules, I should let you know I'm being compensated to be on the panel.)
Okay, so I was looking and it's been a long, LONG time since I've done one of these. Yikes. So, without any further ado we're going to talk Bigelow Lemon Lift, a tea that in my head deserves it's own 1970s jingle:
If you want a bit of lemon
And you want a bit of lift
Call Bigelow…
Get your lemon lift tea…
Spoken: Mmm…it's so tasty
Lemon lift tea…. (cue jazz hands)
Let the record reflect that the quality of my made up jingle does not necessarily reflect my opinion of the tea.
As noted in other posts on Bigelow, I sometimes question why certain things get in Bigelow tea (namely soy lechitin.) When compared to some of the hippie-ified teas I drink, namely anything from Yogi, I can't help but wonder. Then again, I grew up on Bigelow tea and I turned okay except for the second face I grew during puberty, so I shouldn't complain.
…Anyway, the Lemon Lift tea ended up in my "to taste" pile when my wife bought a big sampler pack and I, needing fodder for Tea-sty Tuesday, snagged a pack. How did it measure up?
I covered this above. I'm not going to harp on it. It's not fair to Bigelow since there is probably a good reason to have a non-tea/herbal/flavor substance in the tea.
A+++++ Lemon Lift tea has that amazingly clean, crisp, bright aroma that one associates with the best lemon products. Within seconds of the hot water hitting the tea bag, my senses were filled with the sweet smell of warm lemon drops, sweet citrusy lemon zest, lemon pledge (which I like the smell of…sue me)…it was wonderful. I could hardly wait for the tea to cool so I could take my first stip.
D. To this day, I keep wondering what happened to all the lemon aroma. Where did it go? Sadly, if the obviously chemical aftertaste of the tea is any indication, the aroma was a fraud. And if the aroma was a fraud, the taste never had a chance. 🙁
Though, to be fair, I didn't take any sweetener with the Lemon Lift. I can't help but think that the flavor would have matched the aroma with a little Truvia.
I got a little caffeine boost. It was a bigger boost than with a lot of Yogi teas, but that was about all.
Yes, I was a little disappointed with the tea. Given the strong lemon aroma, I wanted a fresh citrus taste to go with the smell. Unfortunately, the tea just never measured up.
It's almost like Lemon Lift suffers from false advertising. That aroma is so good, anything short of perfection isn't going to match up. Still, I think Bigelow could have added a little more natural citrus to improve the tea's overall taste.
Still, at the end of the day, when it's all said and done, this tea is easily as good as Bigelow's pomegranate tea, so I give it 3.5 cups out of 5.
First of all, to whom it may concern: Chef Wade Taylor, Executive Chef at Livestrong Park working for KC American Sportservice, is a genius. There, let me never be accused of burying my lead.
Okay, with that said, let me back up. I love Twitter. No seriously, one day I tried to say I was married to it on Facebook. Why do I love tweeting so much? Because I'm always finding myself talking to interesting people on it about food. Which is how, one day out of the blue, I asked @SportingKC about the concessions at Livestrong and if anyone had reported on what they were serving.
And that's the story of how I got to tour Livestrong Park's many multiple kitchens with Chef Wade as my personal guide.
It's also how I got to taste some of his creations. Which is how I can say for sure he's a genius.
I'll be the first to admit that when I first asked @SportingKC about the food at Livestrong, I was prepared to be underwhelmed. I assumed that unless I was in the owner's box, I'd be treated to a fine assortment of hot dogs, nachos, and maybe, if I was lucky, a burger. Maybe.
Joke's on me. Livestrong Park is perhaps the most fantastic cooking set up in which these feet have ever tread. Not only are there at least four kitchens (that I saw), the stadium has everything: fryers, ovens, pop corn poppers, smokers, sous vide machines, pizza ovens, a wine cellar with flour-to-ceiling bottles, and, more than likely, a partridge and a pear tree (though that wasn't part of the tour.) It was basically a "Chef's Disney Land" according to Chef Wade.
Of course, Chef Wade and his crew have to have a big capacity to make food because there are a lot of places in Livestrong to eat. In addition to the concession stands, there's the Field Club (an area at field level serving all-you-can-eat fruit and cheese, charcuterie, meat at carving stations, seafood selections, veggies, barbecue and other various chef's specialty items.)
Then there's the Shield Club, a less formal dining area offering an a la carte menu across seven different pods that range from sushi inspired by the chefs from Nara, Minsky's pizza, a sausage station, BBQ, dessert, and a burger/beer station that offers perhaps the best value at the club. For $10, you can get a bacon cheese burger topped with special potatoes and special sauce served with a side order of fries. From what I hear, before it's all said and done, that's a six inch tall (or more) burger with fries for less than what you'd pay at any gourmet burger place in the city.
Then there are the luxury boxes which have a common serving area that offers many of the same amenities as the Field Club, but serves everything as beautifully presented small plates. These plates include salad selections and the Food Network's recipe for drunken pork. So good.
And, if you're not tired of walking by now, there's still the wine cellar and the pizza oven in the owner's box, which is actually two stories and can seat a small army of hungry eaters.
In other words, lots of good stuff going on.
Oh, and if that's not enough, when there's not a game on, there's concerts and special events. For instance, this year Farm Aid's at Livestrong, which will force Chef Wade and his team (in particular Chef Pascal) to build an organic, seasonal menu in keeping with Farm Aid's traditions. (I'm trying to get an idea of what the menu will be there…stay tuned for more details.)
Also, when there's not a game, you can have your event (company meeting, corporate outing, wedding, eat-a-thon) at Livestrong. The day I was there, the Mexican Chamber of Commerce and a Jewish business group were both holding functions. I point this out because Chef Wade was given the opportunity to prepare authentic dishes for both groups…at the same time. I didn't get to try the food for the Mexican Chamber of Commerce, but I could smell it. And it smelled good.
I did get to some of the Jewish group's (specially ordered kosher) menu: smoked fish (flown in special for the event) on sliced bread with apple cream cheese. It was so good. So good.
Well after walking across the stadium, up it, down it, and shutting Chef Wade's hand in the walk-in (oops), he was gracious enough to let me try a few items.
Of what I tried, three dishes really stood out. The first was the drunken pork mentioned above. It was deep, carmelized, warm, salty and just a little bit sweet. That pork was paired with the second of the memorable dishes: a spicy slaw with celery root. The slaw was cool, which went well with the pork, but had such an amazing flavor from the celery root. I never thought I'd like celery slaw but it was terrific and brought out the deeper notes in the pork.
Last was a cold white truffle polenta.
This polenta should have its own entry in the Encyclopedia of Awesome. Although, even as I type "cold white truffle polenta" I am a man of many emotions. One on hand, I still can't get over: cold? polenta? No, that can't be right. On the other hand, I remember how amazing it was. The cold of the polenta against a perfectly cooked rosemary chicken (and maybe some of the slaw and pork…) The differences in temperature making the dish come alive, while still delivering just the perfect earthy flavor of white truffle. I thought I had had good polenta. No polenta is as good as that polenta.
So in summary: I. WANT. MORE.
Sadly, the Shield Club, Field Club and (strangely enough) the Owner's Box, aren't open for everyone. You have to have a special ticket as part of your season ticket package (I checked) and they're all sold out this year. But, there's always next year. And it's worth it for the food!
With that said, I'm going to do my best Tom Cruise/Ethan Hawke impression and see if I can't Mission: Impossible my way into the Field Club. Maybe I can dangle from the ceiling, dropping down to steal a bite when no one is looking. Yeah, that will work.
Buy season tickets. It's worth it to eat.
And thanks to Chef Wade for the tour. I wish him the best of luck and to all of you looking for a job…
HE'S HIRING!!! He needs to staff up, so maybe you, too, can play in a chef's Disney Land.
Prior to last week's beef tour, I believed (and am not alone in this belief) that Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) were EVIL. I had seen pictures of tens of thousands (maybe even millions…mainly joking) of cows stuffed into a tiny yard far too small to let them move. Then I went on the beef tour and went to a CAFO. Now, I am rethinking this position, but I still understand why I was so ready to believe that CAFOs are so bad. Beef, like all meat producers, have a PR problem because their ultimate end is death.
I know that sounds unfair, but read on.
Before I go on, I want to set the stage properly.
1. Yes, Missouri Beef did sponsor me to go on the beef tour. However, my previous posts in regards to nearly losing my breakfast at the meat processing plant should let you know it wasn't all sunshine and lollipops.
2. I want to a CAFO in Pratt, KS. From going to a CAFO, I was able to compare that operation to some of the pictures of other CAFOs I'd seen. I now believe those pictures to be misleading.
3. I, like the beef industry itself, believe that there have historically been horrible treatment of the animals to their detriment. We also both believe that there are cases where this continues, but that these are not rampant and are not condoned by the industry.
This post, then, is an examination of why I, and by extension others, are so willing to believe that the animal industry were villians.
But, let's start with some statistics.
According to Doctor Dan Thomson from Kansas State (you know this has to be an important topic for me to quote a K-Stater and apologies to him if I am off 1-2% on his numbers):
Now, Dr. Thomson goes on to wonder what's up with the 1% who wouldn't risk their lives to save their children, but that's the topic of another post.
Still, the big takeaway is that people are valuing their pets as humans and through purely anecdotal evidence, once you do that for your household pets, you start doing that for animals.
Which leads me back to my thesis.
Right about the middle of the beef cycle, the cow has to die. Even if the animal died of old age, it would still have to die. All of the work before the cow dies is to ensure that it is as big, flavorful, and as high in quality as possible without sacrificing meat quality and all of the work afterwards is about handing the dead cow's remains so they get to the table with as little fuss as possible.
But, still, the cow has to die, which means the beef industry is in the business of death and since 85% of people look at pets as people…it's no great leap to start looking at the beef industry as essentially selling soylent green.
And I don't think that's fair. I'm all for treating animals with dignity not because it leads to a better steak, but because I think as a race, humans are just better than sinking to hurting animals because they can.
But as the beef industry goes on, it's that slippery slope–that association of killing cows to killing people– that they have to worry about.
And frankly, I am not going to ask people to stop thinking of pets, cows, birds, chickens or even snakes (I hate snakes) as people. That's their right. However, I do think that we should stop vilifying people who treat their animals well just because those animals end up at a slaughterhouse. It doesn't do anyone any good to sling mud. Period.
So, the call to action here is to find a meat producer and talk to them. Ask them about how they treat their animals and see the sincerity when they say they want no harm to come to them. Even if the reason they feel that way has nothing to do with the reasons you might like. Oh, and if you find that meat producer isn't following industry regulations for proper beef treatment, tell the local beef council and the USDA (here are a list of USDA regulations.)
Also, stay informed about livestock raising practices. As long as they preserve the dignity of the animal, it's probably okay.
But also stay informed to see if generally accepted animal practices change. If research comes out tomorrow that shows the best thing to do for steak quality is to tie a baby cow up by its hooves and beat it with barbed wire, we need to say in once voice that's not okay. We'll take lesser quality meat to eliminate that type of suffering.
Oh, and if you are reading this and you're veg*n, thank you for sticking with me. I know this isn't a condemnation of meat across the board, but I hope that it at least makes you consider the possibility that not all meat producers are villians.
And whether you sit down to a steak dinner today or not, enjoy!
Okay, so I realize I should probably expand on my last blog post. In all fairness to Creekstone Farms, the part about hurling was about me, not about them.
Tuesday was my first trip to a slaughterhouse ever and from what I hear, Creekstone Farms was as good a way to get introduced into the world of cattle harvesting as possible. Doctor Temple Grandin, a big name is proper animal/cattle treatment, designed the plant to be as low stress for the cows as possible and to generally be as humane and sanitary as can be.
And all in all, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Still, I did watch cows die and I did get to see the insides of the cow far closer up than I would like. And it was hot and smelly (not rotten smelly, but cows and their insides do have a certain odor to them) and when your nose is as strong as mine, the smell is distinct.
So, I certainly don't want to make it out like Creekstone Farms was this awful place which mistreated the animals, harmed them, was unsanity, etc. For all the meat I've eaten and for all the chickens and cows I've seen after the slaughter process, I've never seen the blow that ends the life or the animal move through the line.
Therefore, the gorge I felt a few times wasn't Creekstone doing anything wrong. It was about me being closer to the harvest than ever before. In the end, it's not something I'm going to go out and try to see/smell on a daily basis, but I can't be too critical of the process and continue to eat meat.
And despite my support of plant-based diets, I don't see myself returning to one anytime soon.
I didn't hurl. That's all I really want to say.

At what age should you start teaching your kid about finances?
If you're David Bach, author of "Start Late, Finish Rich," the answer is simple: Hold up a $1 bill and a $100 bill. If your kid knows which one he wants, it's time. (In Bach's case, his son, Jack, knew the $100 bill was the winner at around 3.)
Bach offered up these words of wisdom last week at a press event for the launch of Tykoon, a company in which he is an investor.
Want More?Sign up for the LV Moms Daily here!
What's Tykoon? It's a free financial services platform for parents and their kids that also launched last week (that's a photo of the parents dashboard on Tykoon above).
Why do you need to know about it? We think this is a site every parent needs in his or her arsenal, and it only takes ten minutes or so a night to start making a difference in how your child views his finances.
Why It's Needed
As we mentioned here, an ING survey found that one in three parents is more prepared to talk to their kids about drugs, alcohol or sex and dating than they are to talk to them about money.
Now, a new survey from T. Rowe Price has found some additionally interesting information about the state of parents teaching their progeny about money:
- 77% of parents said they don't always tell kids the truth about money matters
- Only half of parents admitted to regularly setting aside money of their own to save or invest; additionally, only 43% set savings goals, and only 24% ensure that their investments are diversified
- Nearly a third of parents (32%) avoid talking about their family's current financial situation with their kids
"Tykoon should be a portal for parents to start the conversation about money and about earning things," says Bach. "The other day Jack came to me wanting to know what he could do to earn the ability to stay up later. I told him to pitch me an idea! This is a positive way to change the conversations we're having about money with our kids."
How could Jack pitch his dad an idea that would allow him to stay up later? That brings us to …
How It Works
Kids who sign up to use Tykoon with their parents will automatically be given four "buckets"—earn, save, give and spend—on their homepage, where they will be able to virtually keep track of their money:
"The way we see it, this platform will hopefully get kids excited about the flow of money, first earning, then donating, then saving, then spending," says Doug Lebda, Tykoon co-founder and chairman.
The system virtually keeps track of how much money a child has and where, like in savings or spending, while parents maintain the responsibility of moving the actual money between accounts. For example:
In Earning Money: Parents can assign kids various tasks, including recurring chores or one-time jobs to earn an allowance and extra money. Although the bucket is called earning "money," as a parent, you choose how to assign rewards, whether it's through actual cash or other non-cash rewards (like Jack's request to stay up late).
In Saving Money: When you set up your family's profile on Tykoon, you and your child will determine together how much of their earnings should go toward saving. In addition to virtually putting away some of their earnings, it's the savings bucket that allows your kid to also set up and save for a big or long-term goal, like chipping in for a family vacation or contributing to her college education.
In Giving Money: Tykoon is connected with 48 child-friendly, company-reviewed charities to donate to. Parents can control what categories of charities their kids can access (animals are one category, for example). When a parent approves their child's donation, Tykoon's partner, Network for Good, will collect their credit card information, make the donation to the non-profit in the parent's name and send them a tax-deductible receipt.
In Spending Money: Tykoon is also linked with Amazon, so kids can create a wish list of items they want to purchase using their spending money. The Amazon catalog is completely customizable by the parents, meaning that you can close off certain categories from your child (like video games). Once a child has enough money in his 'spending' bucket, he can send a request to his parents to actually purchase the item. Parents then have the option to approve or deny the request.
Tykoon also allows kids to earn rewards (in the form of badges), which their friends who are also on the system can see. In this way, Tykoon sets up earning and saving to be a sort of healthy, wealth-inducing competition.
What They're Finding
Although Tykoon has only been in beta for a little more than one week, the company has enlisted approximately 600 families to try it out, which means they've found some pretty interesting stuff already:
- On average, families on Tykoon allowed kids to spend 60% of their money, save 25% and donate 15%
- So far, boys are shopping and buying more than girls, making up 60% of the Amazon.com orders
- Girls are donating more, contributing to 66% of the charitable donations
- 40% of kids made at least one purchase, and averaged 1.25 donation requests.
- The top wishlisted item on Tykoon was an Apple iPod Touch (totaling 8% of all wishlist items)
Would you use Tykoon? If not, how are you currently teaching your kids about money? Share in our discussions or leave a comment below.

Inflation data and comments from Brazil's interest rate setting committee Copom point to an end in the country's tightening cycle
Brazil's central bank is likely to wind back
interest rate hikes at its next meetings, analysts said on
Thursday after the monetary policy committee published the
minutes of its most recent meeting.
The committee, Copom, said while the global economy was
picking up, activity in Brazil was moderating. Analysts
interpreted the comments as a signal that the benchmark Selic
rate may rise by 25 basis points at Copom's next
meeting in February — but that could be the last
increase for the year.
"Given [Copom's] extensive explanation on a
more benign reading of the domestic economy, we believe the
tightening cycle is near the end," said economists at Bradesco
That view was reinforced by lower than expected inflation
data published also on Thursday. Brazil's IPCA
data indicated annual inflation of 5.63% to January, down from
5.85% in December.
Brazil began a tightening cycle in April 2013, when Copom
raised the Selic rate by 25 basis points. At each of the six
subsequent meetings it has lifted rates by 50 basis points.
The Selic stands at 10.5%.
Analysts at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Barclays,
Bradesco, Goldman Sachs and Itaú predict the central
bank will slow the pace of rate hikes at its next meeting on
February 26.
"It is the combination of weaker growth and slowing
inflation that should push the BCB to moderate the pace of
hikes in February," said analysts at Barclays. The investment
bank expects rate-setting committee to hold the Selic at 10.75%
this year, after a 25bp raise at the next meeting.
Economists at Itaú BBA also forecast a 25bp rate hike
in February, saying that subsequent moves will depend on
Goldman Sachs analyst Alberto Ramos noted that Copom has
been emphasizing its uninterrupted rate rises since April and
the fact that those will have a lagging effect on
Brazil's sticky inflation data. "All this, in our
assessment, indicates that although the Copom will extend the
tightening cycle, it is on track to taper the magnitude of rate
hikes." LF

Ripoff Report
Fresh Start Computer Repair- Doug WilsonAbby Street @ Ducy Muskegon, Michigan USA
Fresh Start Computer Repair- Doug Wilson Senior Citizen and Disabled Persons, this man is a fraud, rip off and will take your computer and not return it, does not provide full address,. Slick Guy BEWARE Muskegon Michigan
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I am a senior citizen, disabled, Doug came to my home after we spoke on the phone. I explained about my acer laptop, no power and he stated he worked on broken laptops, power or not. He plugged the adapter in and it did not start up, then said he needed to take it home to work on it. Doug then worked on my Dell laptop, and altered the formating, wiped out all restore points, and downloaded several programs to check for viruses. Come to find out, when he used his "thumb drive with all the programs" he also copied files. Told me he needed to connect through the wifi and said he had to have my wifi password, me trusting him and that he knew what he was doing, provided everything he asked, later to change the information after speaking with ISP. He charged me $50.00 and said that he only accepted cash, and the work was guarenteed, or refund. I paid him, he took my bookbag laptop, and batteries, new ac charger, and said he would call me that evening, and bring my belongings back to me. I explained that I am not able to drive, that is why he came to my home. This happened in July 2013, and he still has not returned my things. I have left numerous phone messages, text messages, emails, and provided dates times I would be home so he would return them. I am unable to use my dell after his "fix" leaving me with no way to check email with out using someone elses computer.
I believe he preys on the elderly, disabled, knowing he can manipulate the person with his smile, laughter and fast talking, making me believe he knew what he was doing.
Yes, I spoke with someone who used this computer repair service, in fact they referred me. But he is a young man and computer savy. I asked the guy for Dougs address and he said he did not have it, that the guy came to his home.
I understand that the guy uses the Muskegon Flea Market to try and sell his wares, and services, however I have not been able to find him. He also has a Facebook page
I urge you to not use this Fresh Start Computer Repair Service or beware, when talking with him, he will tell you anything to get you.
