Mini choke in first set against Barty today, but then took the next two sets to earn a place in MD.
She's also playing doubles with Chan Hao-Ching again, they have been drawn against Konta and Siegemund.

Re: Jelena Ostapenko
Jelenichok won in 3s against Brianti, I guess she choked the 2nd set. Brianti is nowhere close to her average level, so it is kind a sad to let her win 2nd set in tiebreak
Come on.

She was too tired/injured to compete against Pliskova. And she has withdrawn from Madrid qualies, but still playing in doubles. Good week in Prague anyway, hopefully she can rest and recover before Rome and get some good results there.

I believe Lena must get that win over Sakkari in Madrid Q1, then let it go against Petko, yet still as a high seed she might sneak into MD as a LL. Sounds perfect. Anyway, whatever happens in Spain, she needs to rest.

Creamy Buffalo Wings
These buffalo wings are tossed in a hot and tangy glaze made with horseradish and Worcestershire sauce, it's a safe bet that you won't be able to eat just one.
1. Combine the hot sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar in a food processor and process until smooth.
2. Preheat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees.*
3. Toss the wings in a bowl with the flour. Fry the wings for 10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove from the fryer, drain, and transfer to a bowl. Toss the wings with desired amount of sauce.
Notes and Substitutions:
If you don't have a deep fryer, as an alternative, fill a deep pot about 1/3 full with oil and place over medium heat until a frying thermometer reads 350 degrees.

Date of Stay: July, 2008
WOW!!! What a wonderful place to spend some quality time in the mountains, the owners are fantastic and will go out of their way to help you out. The bathrooms are kept immaculate and there are individual rugs for each camper to take into the shower, this is a really nice touch. Our site was creek side and the kids had a great time playing the crystal clear water (it is ice cold but clear as a bell). The trout pond on site is really nice and they will even clean them for you while you wait. The sites are kind of close together but that wasn't a problem for us, there are plans to add decks to the stream-side sites and when that is done this place will be the ONLY place I will stay when I go to bike the trails of Tsali and kayak the Nantahalla. Do yourself a favor and go see Joe and Caroline at Tumbling Waters.
Date of Stay: July, 2008
We were given a site that appeared to be in the middle of the road, and spent the first couple hours, constantly explaining to people that it was a site and not a road. If you must stay here refuse site 151. The area around the pool was surrounded with cig. butts and beer cans so I chose not to even take my kids in there. It looked like with some TLC (and maybe on a weekend other than the 4th of July) it could have been a nice place with a really nice playground, etc. Overall I was very disappointed and will not return and recommend you seek a different campground if you have to be in the area.
Date of Stay: May, 2008
10 for beauty and location, the only reason I gave it a 7 is because of the lack of water and sewer on site, this is really a minor inconvenience but enough to not warrant a 10. If you haven't been to Brown County State Park it is wonderful and there is no better way to experience all it has to offer than by staying the campground right in the park.

Prop 30 passage means no furlough days for Pleasanton teachers, staff

Check out the article in today's Tri-Valley / Contra Costa Times. It only took 3 days after the gullible voters in California approved Proposition 30 that the truth comes out. In an interview, Gov. Moonbeam Brown said that Proposition 30 will let California COMPLETE IT'S VISION! Things included in the vision that Prop. 30 will enable are money for the Bullet Train, money to enable massive tunnel to divert more NorCal water to SoCal, and making social service programs whole again. The latter will be much easier now, since both house of the Legislature have a Democrat super-majority and the Legislature can do whatever they want.
Isn't that fascinating. Gov. Moonbeam said, pledged and promised that Prop. 30 money was exclusively for K-12 education. 3 days after the election, those who voted for it found out they were a bunch of gullible saps.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood

There is no mention of education. I knew this would happen and voted NO on 30, and I was surprised it passed. Well, we will see now that problems won't be solved, pension liabilities will get out of control, and education will still be underfunded. I cannot believe how people can first of fall vote Brown into office and then approve his prop 30, unbelievable!
"The new revenue meant that for the first time in almost a decade and a half, the state had truly balanced its budget. And for the first time in more than 120 years, Democrats on Tuesday captured two-thirds of both houses of the Legislature, freeing the Democratic governor to embark on a more visionary policy path that may determine his ultimate legacy.
"I'm very optimistic," Brown said. "We have quite a big agenda facing us."
It includes getting high-speed rail construction off the ground and building a massive water tunnel project in the Central Valley, while pushing for regulatory and education reform. He also is considering tax reform to veer the state away from relying so heavily on income taxes, which has made California so vulnerable to the fluctuations of the market."

Mom, Here is the full text of the superintendent's press release:
"Pleasanton, California- The Pleasanton Unified School District is extremely pleased by the
passage of Proposition 30. With its passage, the State's trigger cuts will not go into effect. In
addition to the Board-approved spending reductions, PUSD employees had agreed to a
possible shortened school year to mitigate the impact of the ongoing budget challenges and the possible State trigger cuts that would have been in effect had the Proposition not passed. We appreciate our employees' willingness to work with us and plan ahead.
"The passage of Proposition 30 results in a reduction of revenue deferrals that will improve our cash balances by providing $9M in cash this year that would otherwise have been delayed until the next fiscal year. Based on our agreement with our bargaining units, our students will not lose four instructional days this school year, nor will there be any additional cuts for this school year.
"The Governing Board will receive a report on the impact of Proposition 30 at the November 13th Board Meeting. In order to continue our fiscal prudence, the impact of Proposition 30 must be considered as a part of the ongoing budget challenges we have faced from the last five years. This includes the Governor's Proposed Budget for next year that will be announced by January 15, 2013.
"During the next few months, the Leadership Team and staff will work to make recommendations to the Governing Board for next year's budget. Restoration of any previous budget cuts will be dependent on information received from the Governor's Proposed Budget and the needs of the District based on our long term vision and strategic plan. As always, there will be opportunities for community members to hear those recommendations and provide feedback during board meetings before the Governing Board makes its decision on next year's budget."
Nowhere does it say class sizes will be reduced, and they seem wisely guarded about the 2013-14 school year.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 12, 2012 at 2:08 pm
If they use this as an opportunity to transfer money to something else without restoring class sizes, I will be beyond mad. Cuts were made, primarily to to elementary schools,on the assumption 30 would fail. Well it passed thanks to us voters. So time to pay back what was taken.

a resident of Del Prado
on Nov 12, 2012 at 5:38 pm
Mom - no where did prop 30 propose to reenstate class size reduction. Rather, it was to avoid the 'trigger cuts' that would have inevitably gone into effect January 1. Prop 30 is an attempt to avoid further cuts to education. I also feel it is important to correct you when you stated elementary suffered the most cuts; not true! For years, elementary schools in PUSD celebrated several 'extras', while the secondary schools went without. High Schools have experienced dwindling budgets, exploding class sizes, and fewer counselors. In addition, the CSU and UC system have taken repetitive blows. I know it is difficult to imagine now, but your children will someday be in high school, and you will begin to see the much 'bigger picture' in education.

Mom, too bad you didn't read up before voting. You've been duped by Moonbeam and the public employee unions. When was the last time you voted to give the government more money and it wasn't wasted on something else?
a resident of Amador Valley High School
on Nov 12, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I agree with RJ. Brown needed the Labor Unions support to get Prop 30 approved so he could get funding for other tax measures and/or reforms. People these days are easily fooled by slogans, catchy campaign ads, and names of endorsers. Prop 32 was the same union-backed and funded coalition, but people believed passing the measure would hurt the little guy. HA! It just guaranteed the union's political machine and enhanced union entitlement packages instead of giving the public employee (including teachers) the right to choose for themselves if they wanted to pay union membership dues directly instead of automatically having it deducted from their paycheck.
I dont believe class size reduction does anything if the teacher quality is still poor, the curriculum does not fit the needs of students, and the school year continues to erode. Shortening the school year only means the other 2% will send their kids to private school full time or as an adjunct to the public school system.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 13, 2012 at 7:18 am
"Mom - no where did prop 30 propose to reenstate class size reduction."
Our district said that they made these cuts on the wrong assumption that 30 would fail. It passed, so they never should have made these cuts and need to restore them. We've just given the state a ton of new money. There is no reason in hell that class sizes should be a 30-1 when we've just voted for a tax increase to save education.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 13, 2012 at 7:28 am
Mom, are you being sarcastic? You know that proposition 30 was not to help our children. It was to help the teachers and other government employees. If you believed the proposition 30 propaganda then I have a bridge to sell you (or is it a train to sell you?).
It amazes me how gullible the voters in California are, and how short their memories are. The government wants more money (like always) and they put a teacher, fireman, or police officer on a TV commercial and say that your kids education or your safety is threatened if you do not give them more money. Then you give them more money and things do not get better.
Friends, the Roman empire is going to fall eventually if we do not take the all-powerful government back.

a resident of Harvest Park Middle School

Mom - PUSD can only reinstate class-size reductions IF they actually get more money from the State. Prop 30, while increasing taxes and monies into Sacramento, does not insure monies going to local districts. Supposedly it is to insure NO FURTHER cuts to the STATE education budget, thus preventing more cuts at local levels. That is why the Parent Teacher Association had Prop 38 on the ballot. The money from that proposition would have gone DIRECTLY to local school districts. I am unsure where you heard/read that "Our district said that they made these cuts on the wrong assumption that 30 would fail." I have not come across that information in any of the Board minutes or PUSD Press releases. Could you provide where that information is listed?
Also - having students who have moved up from elementary and middle school to middle and high school, I can assure you that PUSD has cut equally strong among Elementary, Middle and High Schools and Elementary was the last to lose their class size reductions. Try sitting in a high school English class of 40 students.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 13, 2012 at 11:21 am
I heard, in board meetings and elsewhere, management repeatedly say that we were cutting extra on the assumption that 30 would fail. This was to be cautious and we would have extra money if it passed and we could bring a lot back. I'm not going to look it up for you, but it was said multiple times.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Nov 13, 2012 at 11:58 am
Why not keep the furlough days in place and instead reinstate some of the deep cuts to music/art/libraries/counseling, class sizes in K-3, and so on? Why are the furlough days the FIRST thing that gets funded?
I for one would rather let my kids have 4 more days of vacation but get the full range of services and/or small class sizes in the younger grades.

Kathleen Ruegsegger is a registered user.
reasonable, You might want to look into how the US is no longer competitive with other nations in science and math and length of school year. Making the school year shorter will not bridge that gap. Look at November, students were already out 1/2 day Nov. 1, no school on Nov. 12, half days Nov. 13, 14, and 15, no school Nov. 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. And you have winter break coming. It's a wonder anything gets done the first half of the year (and no, I don't think that's the teachers' fault). I just don't see cutting school days as reasonable. I would agree there are more important areas of need, including those you mention, rather than CSR.

" "Our district said that they made these cuts on the wrong assumption that 30 would fail."
A former candidate for the school board named Sandy said something along those lines. I think she had contacted the board directly and was told that. We'll have to wait and see if they really reinstate anything.
What I'm surprised that no one is talking about is the possibility that the school district will be pushing for a parcel tax. I don't think it has sunk in with a lot of people what the super-majority in the senate and assembly will mean for taxes. Proposals for lowering the parcel tax threshold to 55% are likely to sail through.
Web Link
I think it will be fairly easy to get a parcel tax with a higher amount than E or G will be fairly easy to pass in Pleasanton with a 55% threshold.

PUSD better not count their chickens before thier eggs are hatched. Gov. Brown and the Lune Legislature are already talking about Proposition 30 funds going to:
- Fixing the state budget
- Helping pay for Brown's Tunnel
- Helping pay for the Bullet Train (a money pit bigger than the Big Dig in Boston)
Now you see the $$$, now you don't. PUSD better wait until the State sends them the check.

"I think it will be fairly easy to get a parcel tax with a higher amount than E or G will be fairly easy to pass in Pleasanton with a 55% threshold. "
While I am against parcel taxes (even though I voted yes on the first one), I think at this point, a parcel tax is the only solution.
Yes, I am against the unions and I wish Sacramento fixed the issues with unfunded liabilities, but all that is beyond PUSD's control. And yet out students suffer each year because of budget deficits.
I supported measure "I" but it failed by a few percentage points. I voted no on 30 but it passed - I voted no on that because I knew this would happen: no money for education.
Let's support a local tax here in Pleasanton; it gives us local control about what to do with the money.

Those of you who have written that Gov. Brown plans to use the prop 30 money for other projects are entirely misreading the CC Times article. It says:
"I'm very optimistic," Brown said. "We have quite a big agenda facing us."
It includes getting high-speed rail construction off the ground and building a massive water tunnel project in the Central Valley, while pushing for regulatory and education reform. He also is considering tax reform to veer the state away from relying so heavily on income taxes, which has made California so vulnerable to the fluctuations of the market.
His comments had NOTHING to do with prop 30; but those who opposed it will persist in trying to contort the facts to fit their opinion.

Here's the link to the article: Web Link
There is only one key quote about prop 30: "With $6 billion annually from the new taxes imposed by Proposition 30, Brown said, the budget should stay balanced for years to come. He has pledged that any surplus money not needed to fund existing programs will be used to pay down the state's $34 billion "wall of debt" racked up over the past decade."

Often, Brown isn't specifically speaking about Prop 30, but Prop 30 money will enter the general fund and is fair game for anyone's wish list. Let's hope it makes it to education.

Even with Prop 30 passing, I'll bet PUSD will soon try to grab cash from Pleasanton voters, they'll still try to get an outrageous amount ($500 million) from a soon to be bond measure they'll put on the ballot.
This in spite of the fact they owe over $100 million on the last two bond measures and just finished construction 5 years ago.

I think you'll see a parcel tax as well. With the new super-majority in the legislature, I think we'll see a bill to lower the threshold for parcel taxes to 55%.

Neighbors fear what follows Blockbuster
Auto-parts store conflicts with hopes for East Tosa
East Tosa residents assumed it was a matter of time before Blockbuster closed up shop in their neighborhood.
But the speed of the movie-rental store's departure at 6102 W. North Ave. last month, and the reports that an auto-parts store might fill the space, have neighbors concerned.
Blockbuster has fallen on hard times, shuttering most of its stores in the Milwaukee area and across the country. Still, an employee assured Alderman Bobby Pantuso last spring that the local store would likely remain open for some time. Then in mid-December, business-closing signs went up and the building was quickly emptied.
"I was a little thrown off because it always seemed busy to me," Pantuso said. "We always thought there was going to be more time."
The site has been identified as a key redevelopment hotspot in the East Tosa master plan that was adopted by the city last summer. Pantuso said that while the plan sounded a bit "pie in the sky" - it calls for a neighborhood commons feel with two-story mixed residential/office and commercial use as well and even a splash pad for urban recreation/open space - it makes full use of the site.
"That's such a beautiful spot and there's not a lot of mixed use on North Avenue," he said.
The 32,400-square-foot property, which takes up nearly an entire commercial block, is mostly asphalt parking lot surrounding a 6,800 square-foot building.
Blockbuster's closing left members of the East Tosa Alliance, a group of residents, business and property owners, scrambling to find out if they could influence what was next for site.
"It's an anchor in that area," said Meg Miller, alliance board chairwoman. "We want to work with anyone that comes in. We want this to be collaborative."
Initial talks with a broker from Mid-America Real Estate Group led Miller to believe a new tenant had been lined up for the building. After some digging, she learned the real-estate firm had secured a long-term lease from O'Reilly Auto Parts.
The broker couldn't be immediately reached for comment but he did send Miller an e-mail Tuesday, saying he's willing to talk.
Neighbors haven't welcomed news of a national auto parts retailer.
"Bringing this type of business into this space does not add to the neighborhood feel the North Avenue East Tosa Plan is attempting to accomplish," said Angela Quigley, a resident who joined the alliance. "My husband and I moved to East Tosa a few years ago from Downtown Milwaukee because of all the locally owned, unique businesses that were within walking distance of our house. There is a lot of momentum going on in this neighborhood of bringing in new, fresh businesses and I just don't feel that O'Reilly Auto Parts will add to this momentum."
Alliance members cite an auto parts dealer at 58th Street and North Avenue, albeit in Milwaukee, that serves the area. A market study included in the master plan cites a need for locally provided auto-related retail. However, that shouldn't be misconstrued as a need for additional stores, but rather a desire to protect the existing businesses like Voline and O'Gorman's that the alliance doesn't want to see pushed out, Miller said.
National auto parts franchises tend to locate in strip malls on busy main streets, not next to a happening restaurant and gathering place like Juniper 61, she said. Imagine sitting on the patio enjoying a meal overlooking a person changing their oil in the neighboring parking lot, she said.
The residents don't want to see an empty building and understand that a property owner needs to collect rent, Miller said. A look at the companies that Mid-America represents shows some more fitting options - such as a Chipotle, which would be consistent with a survey that showed neighbors want a Mexican restaurant in the district.
East Tosa resident Maureen Badding sent a letter to the broker pointing out a desire by residents for garden center, Mexican restaurant, Hallmark-type store, specialty food store or retail boutiques of any type.
"With a relatively new building and ample parking, your property is a goldmine," she said.

If your front door didn't open when came home..
A. Try unlocking the deadbolt
B. knock to have your spouse let you in
C throw your shoulder into the door.
Apparently the answer is c. Smh. Dh took the girls to school this morning and I locked te door behind him as I ALWAYS do. When he got back he twisted the nob which was unlocked and I walked over to open the door. He then burst through the door and as he did that the trim popped off and flew across the room as did a large piece of the door frame.
I have no idea what he was thinking. The door can't lock now and he said he has no plans to fix it today. I am mostly mad about that part. Yes it's a time consuming fix but dang it the door doesn't lock!
Thats funny. i bet he didnt even think about it, just did it.
D. Ring the doorbell with the tip of my nose because my hands are full?
I can fix anything, have been for a few days now, drives hubby mad and to laugh. He keeps trying to take a pic. Give me a huge spoon and some nails I'll fix the door.
hubbys done that a time or two... his last wife was cheating on a regular basis. He's learned, after 5 years, the last wife and I are two entirely differant women.
Hire someone to fix it so next time his testosterone gets out of control he can think back to the bill he had to pay.
I would be VERY confused.....df never locks the deadbolt, only i do
I'm sorry you had a bad day and the door is broke :(

Hello all,
I am a newbie to C (and anything resembling complex programming), so please excuse my dumbness. Is it possible to read a line from a file using fscanf, and then the next time I call fscanf (without closing the file), read the second line? Ie, if my input file is something like
200 300 50
10 12 1
I have been doing fscanf(fp_input,"%f %f %f", Re1, Re2, Re3);
then doing some processing and checking of the data, and then;
fscanf(fp_input, "%f %f %f", m1, m2, m3);
But seem to be getting some stange results. Any help greatly appreciated...

- " Hostel with a lot of ambiance, a lot of common areas (lobby, bar, kitchen & eating area) that help to meet people, rooms with automatic lockers (with key card), light next to every bed and a little space to put our personal things, toilets & washrooms in the rooms very modern (clean everyday), bar at night is very nice (thematic and cheap prices on alcohol). A lot of information is given at front desk (what to do etc.) and they give also documents information. "

- " One of the best experience during my trip. The hostel was very clean with new furnitures and modern design/atmosphere. Having ensuite bathroom for each room came in very convenient. I shared a room with 3 guys however this was absolutely no problem since everyone was so friendly and outgoing. I went down to hostel bar everynight. Having happy hours for different drinks each time saved my money quite bit. Hostel bar was pretty lit every night. Great for a solo traveller, would really recommend! "

(In warm weather, better airconditioning would be nice, but the week we were staying at the Wombats was extremely hot so I don't know how it normally is) "

- " We stood at Wombats for 2 nights in a private room. Everything was clean and looked good. The location close to Naschmarkt is very good. Easy access to metro. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I can totally recommend this hostel :-) "
- 22 Jul 2016 Juliane Germany
- " Definitely a well organized, well run hostel. Our room was clean; we had a complaint about the bathroom that was fixed that day. Good breakfast for a decent price, and the staff at the hostel was willing to help with anything we needed. Wombats hostels lack the charm of some of the smaller, locally run hostels, but they provide a comfortable, safe environment; good if you want a place to party as well as if you want a place to sleep, "

- " Very clean, just a couple U-Bahn stops to city center, had lockers, very nice staff, great WiFi. Probably best hostel I've ever been to. The only complaint is that it was very hot and the room only had one fan. But I saw them adding initial fans the next day. "

I wish I could agree, unfortunately there's a lot of truth to his post.

Tomorrow isn't a guarantee.
America>any other country
American Cars<Import Cars (in general)
That has been proven over the last 20 years on several fronts
Power to weight
Power per liter
Chassis Design
Fuel mileage
Build quality
Why is it so hard for people to accept that? It is the truth and is well documented in the press and companies themselves.
Even if the New Mustang is as good as the best import on the market, it took them too long to get there and it pissed everyone off. Remember the "frame twisting" power of the f-body's? Was it actually the power? Or was it the monkey metal frame ford penned?
That is why the american companies are hurting, not because of the designing, but the lack thereof.
The American people are ready for great American cars, but the manufacturers are still playing 100 year old games.
stupidman has spoken
That's the frustrating part. Consumers know what they're doing wrong but they can't change because they've been busy swallowing all these other car companies that they just became too big to make changes easily. I wish I can buy American cars with confidence but I can't. Not after what I went through with Ford and Chrysler vehicles.
I graduated Art center college of design and majored car design. I always thought that design is what sells the cars... I was wrong. Design just draws attention at first. It's the quality that sells cars. Toyota and Lexus designs are very ordinary and very few are eye catching. They certainly don't have high performance vehicle anymore since Supra ceased production. But they sell cars because their cars last.
Designers agree that Chrysler is most creative in terms of vehicle design or styling. They come out with crossover vehicles before anyone. They created minivan market, SUV market, Pacifica, PT Cruiser... but they don't sell because their quality is bad (altho they claim it has gotten better) and other companies just make similar designs with better quality.
Some say lack of quality is due to union and their high labor cost. Well... most imports that are sold in US are made here and they have union too.
Well that's the first time I've heard the Japanese have unions. Are you sure about that?
If so then hello level playing field. America's on the comback after all!
Pretty soon Honda will be synonomous with Ford. The Jesus comes back to put an end to all the Hell on Earth! Whew!
My car looks just like this without the skirts and roof wing! Yeah baby!
There's no love for Subaru's in Blargs blood anymore. I'll never buy a FORD unless vintage or a Camaro, or a firebird (all the same) this post needs's to end. There should be nothing but respect for Subaru's here at CLUB WRX. NET HELLO!! Peace and fried greece .
they DON'T have unions..that was my point. Even their U.S. workers aren't working under the same UAW contract that Ford/GM/Dhaimler employees work.Originally Posted by scoob
I still love teh Subaru. The best way I can explain my feelings is I always wanted a little MORE. everything was adequete but just not quite enough sometimes. The power was fine, but on some days it was a slug. The torque was O.K. at the best of times. The room was good, but sometimes a little small. Even the horn was "adequete" but not quite loud enough. I had to mod everything.
With the Stang, I really have no desire to mod anything. I'm happy. The Subaru was a GREAT car and I'd totally recommend them to anyone. However, I don't think they're exactly "sports" cars. They're nice tweaked-out 4-door sedans, but they just lack something...
It really sticks to the road...maybe a little TOO well for my liking, I like a bit of ass-slide in the corners. I missed it. there are different kinds of sports cars, and I guess I've always preferred the RWD variety. Maybe if my WRX came with DCCD I'd like it better.
For me the fun factor is far more important that "I'm faster in you in a race" factor because I never race, but play almost every time I get in the car. For me, the Mustang is just more fun.

Serves 4
Prep Time 60 min
Total Time 120 min.
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Step 2
To prepare stuffing: Combine crabmeat, breadcrumbs, shallot, celery, capers, Old Bay seasoning, pepper, lemon juice and oil in a medium bowl.
Step 3
To prepare artichokes: Cut off the top 1 inch of leaves from an artichoke. Remove the outer layer of small, tough leaves from the stem end. Snip all remaining spiky tips from the outer leaves. Cut off the stem to make a flat bottom. (Discard the stem.) Starting at the outer layers and progressing inward, pull the leaves apart to loosen. Pull open the leaves at the center until you see the spiky, lighter leaves around the heart. Pull out those lighter leaves to expose the fuzzy choke. Scoop out the choke with a melon baller or grapefruit spoon and discard. Repeat this step with the remaining artichokes.
Step 4
Spoon 1/2 cup stuffing into the center of an artichoke. Stuff an additional 1/2 cup stuffing between the outer leaves, toward the base, using a small spoon. Repeat with the remaining artichokes and stuffing. Divide any remaining stuffing among the artichokes.
Step 5
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add broth and lemon juice; bring to a simmer. Carefully stand the artichokes upright in the pan. Drizzle each artichoke with 1 teaspoon oil.
Step 6
Cover, transfer the pot to the oven and bake until tender when pierced down through the center with a knife, about 50 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until the stuffing is slightly browned, about 10 minutes more. Remove from the braising liquid and serve. Use the braising liquid for dipping if desired.

Thank you for the question.
The "overhang" or pouch present just above the pubic area is a very common problem area seen after C-section surgery.
Tummy tuck surgery is routinely and safely done after C-section surgery. Most well experienced plastic surgeons are able to deal with the scar tissue that remains after C-section surgery. The result is a much smoother transition between the lower abdominal wall and the pubic area. Generally speaking, the "ideal" patient for tummy tuck surgery is one who has completed pregnancies, is medically/psycho socially/emotionally/financially stable, has an excellent social support system surrounding him/her, does not smoke, is capable of arranging enough recovery time and who has reached a long-term stable weight. I hope this, and the attached link, helps.

Mets beat Brewers; Jenrry Mejia gets first start tonight since elbow surgery
MILWAUKEE – He was dressed in an orange "Underdog" T-shirt, a souvenir from spring training. Most of his teammates had shed those shirts months ago. David Wright never even wore his in public.
But inside the visiting clubhouse at Miller Park, hours before the Mets beat the Brewers, 7-3, the shirt found its ideal suitor. The message on the front seemed perfectly tailored to the young man wearing it.
Is there a bigger underdog than Jenrry Mejia, the can't-miss pitching prospect who – so far – missed? Is there a better September story in Queens than this 22-year-old auditioning for the team that signed him five years ago?
Mejia gets his first starting assignment since 2010 tonight in Milwaukee. In the calendar months that have melted since that last start (Sept. 15, 2010), he has had Tommy John surgery on his right elbow and has struggled as a reliever in the minors.
Yet in his opinion, he is a better pitcher now than he was then.
"I think so," Mejia said.
He laughed as he said this, but he was dead serious. Only 22, he thinks those two years between major league starts have allowed him to pad his pitching knowledge.
"I was working hard, working hard day by day, thinking about what I have to do," Mejia said.
Mets catcher Josh Thole had a chance to catch Mejia back in 2010, the last time he took a stab at an assignment like this. Thole found one weapon in Mejia's arsenal more potent than the others.
"Just an explosive fastball that was cutting and sinking," Thole said. "A very electric fastball. That's what stood out."
Will that fastball carry the same sting two years later?
"He did it the other night when he came in the ballgame [as a reliever]," Thole said.
"Just as a bystander, that's what it looked like. I actually made a comment to somebody. I said, 'It looked like this guy didn't miss a beat.'Ÿ"
Mets manager Terry Collins used him for two innings out of the bullpen on Sept. 7, but will make more serious judgments based on his Saturday night start.
"You've got to be careful what you see in September," Collins said. "But [by] the same token, I'm anxious to see him start. Some of the things we'll be looking at is how many pitches is he going to take out there? I think starters need at least three they can throw for strikes."
Collins said the reports he was getting from Buffalo manager Wally Backman indicated that Mejia relies a lot on his natural cutter at the expense of his slider. As a consequence, when he does throw the slider, it catches too much of the plate.
Mejia said he has a put a lot of effort into improving the quality of his breaking stuff.
"Now I think I can throw it for a strike," Mejia said. "Now it's a big difference."
Mejia will have to navigate through a 3-4-5 heart of the Milwaukee order that includes Ryan Braun (.310 ERA, 38 HRs), Aramis Ramirez (23 HRs, 91 RBI) and Jonathan Lucroy (.322). He will have to pitch against a team that still holds wild-card hope.
None of this gives him shivers.
"I don't get nervous now because I've been here before," Mejia said. "If that's my first time here, that's going to be different … just get there and throw my pitches."

text: A summer essential, and the lace just make your feet beg you to buy them ASAP (you know, if feet could talk and stuff..). I first fell in love with these Valentino lace espadrilles a couple of months back, but as nice as they are, I had the nagging thought that "If ONLY they were cream/white, they'd be perfect!". "Ask and you shall receive, and since you're broke, let's make them cheaper!", said the footwear gods; and I found these Jeffrey Campbell's. My feet are now happily encased in lace.

As my blog is having its three-year anniversary today (woohoo!), I have decided to change the structure of my blog posts, starting in January 2014.
So far, the articles have been pretty lengthy, but I have figured that this may not be the optimum format for a productivity blog.
We are all busy and we want to have the actionable steps and the solutions as quickly as possible, so that's why I see there is a need to change the format.
So how are things changing in January 2014?
From now on, the structure of the posts is going to be as follows:
- Short: The length of the posts will be anywhere between 500 – 1000 words. I might exceed that limit if needed, but my goal is to keep things succinct and to-the-point.
- Actionable: I like to give the essentials when it comes to blog posts, that way you can take action faster on the lessons, and thus get faster results.
- Scannable: I think that Darren from ProBlogger accurately sums up what a scannable post is, so I will let him tell you more about it.
So while the posts are going to be shorter, they are not going to be any less valuable than before. In fact, the whole idea is to create tight and super-valuable packages (blog posts), which give you the maximum value in a shorter time frame.
Other content related changes
These three changes (shorter/actionable/scannable) are not the only changes that will take place next year – I have some other plans as well:
- Blog post extras. I started to provide some extra material related to all my blog posts this fall (this material can be found on PSD+), and I will still continue to provide extra material. However, I have already felt that at times I had to force myself to create content, therefore I have decided to provide extra material if it *really* adds value to the post.
- Videos are coming back. There has been a pause on creating productivity videos, but they will be back in 2014. These videos are going to be short, succinct and – surprise, surprise – actionable as well :). I'm not setting any particular schedule on how often I publish these videos – I'll record them when I feel like it.
- Podcasts are coming back too. I'm getting back into podcasting as well, but the schedule is not going to be a strict one. Instead, I'll record those on an infrequent basis.
- Online Business Productivity link round-ups: The idea behind these roundups is to gather the best of the online business productivity links on a monthly basis. I will continue to do these, but from now every third post is going to be the round-up. The publishing date is going to be on Tuesdays.
Finally, we are very close to year 2014, so I just wanted to give you a special thanks for being a reader of Productive Superdad and I wish you and your loved ones a Happy and Prosperous New Year 2014. Let's make it the best year ever!

A Public Finance Analysis of Multiple Reserve Requirements
Marco Espinosa-Vega and Steven Russell
Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta
Working Paper 99-19
December 1999
Download the full text of this paper (503 KB)
This paper analyzes multiple reserve requirements of the type that have been imposed by a number of developing countries. We show that previous theoretical work on this topic has not succeeded in providing a social welfare rationale for the existence of multiple reserve requirements. We go on to present a model in which it is possible for a multiple reserves regime to improve social welfare relative to simpler regimes involving reserve requirements and/or deposit taxes. We demonstrate the empirical plausibility of our approach by providing a case study of Mexico, a country with extensive historical experience with multiple reserve requirements.
JEL classification: E5, E6, F3
Key words: multiple reserve requirements, public finance
This paper is a substantially revised version of Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Working Paper 98-1. The authors are grateful for comments from Peter Rangazas and Bruce Smith, from the participants in seminars at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and from the participants in sessions at the 1996 annual meetings of the Society for Dynamics and the Latin American Econometric Society. In addition, they are indebted to Rodolfo Padilla of the Banco de Mexico for his assistance in providing data for Mexico. The views expressed here are the authors' and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta or the Federal Reserve System. Any remaining errors are the authors' responsibility.

Reader letters, Nov. 1
Call to action
To the editor:
Come on Maggie Valley residents. Can we really allow our town's policies and future be determined by bar stool politicians with a bar room perspective?
What has happened to the values, ethics, community spirit and kindness that we used to have toward one another?
It is time to take a stand for the town as a whole and not for the individual gain. Do you really believe a town can function without fire and police protection or water and sewer?
When can we start acting as a unified community? Individual agendas are destroying the unity that built this town. It saddens me to see derogatory billboards and campaign rhetoric. How can a town so beautiful have such dissention?
Would you really want to elect or re-elect officials who suggest that police officers curtail ticketing of local restaurant patrons during certain hours? Says a lot for their values, doesn't it?
You cannot change the way things are, if you don't vote.
I love my town and the foundation of ethics and principles it was built upon.
Let's start over Maggie. Let's rebuild on ethics, values and professionalism.
Nancie Mehaffey
Maggie Valley
Stand up, Christians
To the editor:
People deny God by their actions. The two women at the courthouse steps proclaiming an act not worth telling, not only did wrong, but told children a bad way to live.
Woe is them at the end of time.
We the Christian peoples of Haywood County need to stand against this.
Joe Sam Queen, our voice in Raleigh, would be smart to get a law passed that would matter in these hard times.
Ronald Miller
Price should be re-elected
To the editor:
Maggie Valley is ready to move on to a new day of civility and harmony.
I believe that electing Saralyn Price once again as alderman will help to accomplish this, but with a board that will work together.
Over the last 30 years I have observed Mrs. Price rescue citizens during hurricanes, floods and from fires.
Mrs. Price has also helped find missing children and apprehend murderers. She has efficiently operated a police department safely, responsibly and with good financial policies.
Mrs. Price is native born, a member of Peachtree Methodist Church, adoptive mother of two Broyhill children, also a member of the Maggie Valley Lion's Club, Haywood County Library Board and Kids Advocacy Resource Effort.
Mrs. Price has been employed at Joey's Pancake House for several years, a well-established restaurant in Maggie Valley.
She has contributed much to our continued success, helping to design and implement a cash management systewm.
She wrote numerous computer training manuals for coworkers to follow. She is respected by her fellow employees and loved by all customers.
I hope my fellow voters will make the right decision for the future of Maggie Valley.
I know if he were here, the first person holding a sign for Saralyn next Tuesday would be Joey O'Keefe.

I am deeply saddened to see our beautiful Hastings city under attack in HB Today's front page article "Reclaiming our Streets".
I am equally concerned about the groups of adolescents who come to town to hang about and cause problems.
I have spoken to a large number of retailers over the past months that have brought this issue to my attention - school holidays and weekends are clearly more troublesome. It is time to take action and make positive changes for both the CBD and the youth of Hastings.
In my role as a Hastings District councillor, I visited Rotorua to see how they address the same issues we are facing now. Like many other New Zealand provincial cities with this problem, Rotorua implemented a City Guardian Programme three years ago. It has been extremely successful in dealing with CBD youth issues.
Using Rotorua's city guardian model, Hastings City Guardians will operate in our CBD from November 1.
Our two City Guardians have been appointed and completed their training.
Their positive, strong, physical presence will be our eyes and ears; they will support and assist our community constables, welcome and assist visitors and bring a positive and protective energy to our CBD.
In order to support the City Guardians' work, I would like Hastings District Council to adopt bylaws to improve the behaviour of people visiting the city. As a community we need to all agree that poor behaviour in our city is unacceptable. We need to take a strong, committed and collaborative stance against anti-social behaviour.
No one initiative or group can make a long-term positive change to this problem. All parties must take responsibility if change is to happen - the police, Hastings District Council, the Business Association and community groups.
I plan to form a Hastings City Safety Committee made up of the police, Hastings City Business Association, retailers, Hastings Security and City Guardians. This committee will develop a long-term strategic plan for a safer city and meet monthly to tackle ongoing issues.
At 7pm tonight a public meeting chaired by mayor Lawrence Yule will be held at Hastings District Council chambers to hear the views of those affected.
Hastings City is owned and loved by all of Hastings not by a few trouble-makers.
It is time for us all to step up and take responsibility for our city.
Sandra Hazlehurst is a Hastings City councillor and is standing for re-election in the upcoming elections.
Business and civic leaders, organisers, experts in their field and interest groups can contribute opinions. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Theres a reason why she earned the name Maxine "Dirty" Waters out here in California. Here is a prime example why. Acccording to Fox News and Michelle Malkin Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., helped steered millions of dollars in bailout funds to a bank on whose board her husband served. The bank also didn't appear to meet the requirements for receiving the money. Waters, a member of the House Financial Services Committee, arranged a meeting in September between Treasury officials and the chief executive of OneUnited, one of the country's largest black-owned banks, which requested $50 million in special bailout funds.
Update – 3/13/09
Michelle Malkin has a syndicated column today entitled: Maxine Waters: Banking on hypocrisy
Maxine dirty Water's response? You guessed it. YOU ARE RACIST!
Heres a quote from her from Polictico's story:
I am indeed an advocate for minority banks. Despite my public and consistent advocacy, news reports suggest that somehow I have acted improperly

Manager Stuart Pearce will submit a 35-man squad to FIFA ahead of the tournament, the paper explains, and Beckham's name will be on that list.
From those 35 names Pearce must whittle the squad down to just 18 players, but the Mail says that "it is unimaginable given his status and profile that Beckham will be discarded at the last moment."
37-year-old Beckham, who has won 115 caps for England, has long been linked with the Olympic team, and has made no secret of his desire to play at a tournament where other leading names who have been less enthusiastic.
He is expected to be joined by Liverpool striker Craig Bellamy as one of Britain's three footballers aged over 23 in the final squad selection. Bellamy let slip he had been selected earlier this week.
In a big transfer exclusive, Manchester United are in pole position to Tottenham midfielder Luka Modric.
The Sun claims that a deal for the 26-year-old has been offered, with a transfer fee of £25 million and hefty wages of around £125,000.
Modric is on Euro 2012 duty with Croatia, but has been kept abreast of developments and would be keen to complete the move on his return to England.
It's not the only bit of business the Red Devils are linked with, either: the Daily Mail reports that a £3m fee has been agreed for 18-year-old Chilean striker Angelo Henriquez.
QPR's determination not to dice with relegation next year has seen them turn their attention to goalkeeper Ben Foster, who spent last season on loan at West Brom from Birmingham. The Daily Mirror say that Foster has leapt ahead of Fraser Forster in their list of goalkeeping targets.
The Daily Mail report that Newcastle are in the mix to sign Chelsea forward and free agent Salomon Kalou.
And finally, in a bit of fanciful speculation, Roberto Mancini's future at Manchester City is hanging in the balance – because his wife would prefer to return to Italy.
The Daily Star say that Mancini is stalling on a £5.5m-a-year contract because of Federica.
A 'club source' 'says': "His wife's dislike of Manchester is a genuine issue which isn't going to go away and could determine his long-term future."

Increased service life for your USD forks with more effective protection from mud & dirt. Made from NEOSKIN (coated neoprene). Easy fit / clean, no fork disassembly required.
Easy fit - VELCRO® brand fastener design
Easy clean - every ride
No fork disassembly required
Use with or without cable ties
USD fitment only
Black with silver logo
Universal fit
NEOSKIN: coated neoprene
3M Scotchlite reflective print
Kriega Fork Seals are extremely easy to fit, using velcro which means fork disassembly is not required. Neoprene fork seals are most effective when they are fresh and clean. Old school fork protectors are difficult to clean behind, but our design allows you to clean them every ride if you need to. They can be fitted without cable ties, but you will get increased service life by using cable ties to protect the Neoskin from the fork slider.
Top tip! Extend the operational life of the Forks Seal Covers is to lightly spray the inside with WD40 or similar prior to installing and after each cleaning. A spot of sunscreen on the outside can also help boost the in-built UV protection in certain conditions. Weird, but it works!
NB: With the full-wrap guard and the plastic rings in place, the neoprene will wear through at one point. This does not effect the performance of the Fork Seal as the hole is in a non-critical area, but it can look scruffy. Full-wrap fork sliders, as found on post-2008 KTMs and Husabergs, have a very close tolerance to the plastic dust-cover rings at the end of the fork and can wear through any brand of neoprene cover very quickly. To overcome this problem; either fit 2007-style KTM fork sliders (as shown) or remove the black plastic rings at the end of the fork and use cable ties when fitting. Regardless of which solution you choose, it really does pay to use neoprene fork covers as they make a marked difference to the service interval of your fork.
May 20th 2015
Bought a pair for my converted Supermoto KTM 525 and my Ducati Monster S4rs.
-things to note...wish the material was a little more durable. my tire on supermoto picked up a little mud/dirt and it seems to have spun around the tire and brushed against the seal cover on both sides. This minor incident wore a hole on both seal covers, so i'm not sure how they will hold up seeing as how this happened on the very first ride after install.
Mar 24th 2015
These are the first Mod that I do to any new bike I get.
Fantastically innovative design make for easy install. They definitely prolong fork seal life.
Some reviews have cited the quantity of cable-tie loop holes as a potential improvement, but in the absolute hell that I put my bikes through I have never had one of these seal protectors budge from the installed position. The wrap around Velcro arrangement is all these need to stay in place.
Nov 14th 2014
The first thing most buyers look for in a product is quality and is it worth the asking amount.Tied with that for me, is service. I bought a set of these protectors and they worked great. I noticed a bit of perishing, but they still kept my fork seals dust free, and contacted Kriega ,who promptly sent me a new set the same day. Now when a company can do that and back their product, they have more than my attention. They have my respect and word of mouth advertising. Please don't hesitate to buy from this company. The new protectors have held up real well through dust, rain and soaring heat.They are real easy to install and clean.
Thanks for your products and service.

Increase the service life of your forks by keeping them clean from mud and dirt, use Kriega USA fork seals. They are easy to install, remove and clean!
Jul 12th 2014
The Kriega fork seal covers are excellent. They are easy to fit and easy to live with. Simple to remove and clean, which means I really do remove and clean them! I have been using the older style for the last two years and just switched to the new, larger style for USD forks and am very pleased with the fit of the new style. I have ridden thru a lot of dirt/dust/mud and put over 80k miles with Kriega fork seal covers and never had to replace a leaking fork seal. For me, that says it all.
I've got them on my Yamaha Super Tenere and my wife's F650GS twin, both bikes have used them since new and have over 80k miles w/o a single fork seal leak.
Thanks Kriega!!
Jun 3rd 2014
Installing the Kriega fork seal covers is fairly simple. Since the covers are neoprene, they stretch readily to conform to your forks. Unfortunately, the package does not come ready with a zip ties. You'll need slightly longer ties to loop around the fork tubes. Overall quality is great so far and the velcro isn't cheap and does not pill. The price is slightly higher than I would imagine for neoprene and velcro. My only suggestion would be to add 1 or 2 more zip tie loops, or to stitch them into the neoprene. But, they seem to do the job well.
Nov 7th 2012
This product seems to do the job well. I cannot guess as to how well it will last, but so far it is great. If it last a few years it is worth the money. If not, it may be a little overpriced, but if you have been having trouble with dirt and sand in your seals, I recomment trying this.
Oct 16th 2012
I was looking around wondering why no one had created something like this. Then, there it was. Exactly what I was looking for. Everyone who has exsposed fork sliders and likes dirt needs these.
Sep 24th 2012
Initial installation went well. Will see how they hold up.Another loop for cable tie would help.
Jun 26th 2012
The fork seal covers to a good job keeping the seals clean and have been durable so far. Be sure to remove and wash covers every few rides. Only improvement would be one more loop for the cable tie at the top.

Hello everyone,
I am in the process of ironing out the bugs of my vehicle and I have an opportunity to get some deals on an ignition system.
I can get a set of plugs, a set of wires and an ignition coil for $100. I was looking around and it seems that the OE brands are probably best for my vehicle. The brands on the most of the parts on the car are Motorcraft. The guy at the local auto store said that Autolite or Motorcraft are the optimal components, but I wondered if mixing brands would cause any issues.
The Ignition Coil is Motorcraft and the plugs and wires are Autolite. I can get all one brand or the other, however it will cost me extra to get all one brand due to shipping.
The plugs are the Autolite Iridium Xtreme Performance and the other components are just standard OE parts.
Will I run into issues mixing Motorcraft and Autolite ignition components?
I can get the 4 Autolite plugs for $5.72, the Autolite wire set for $5.80 and the Motorcraft Ignition Coil for $64.82. Shipping is $30.82. Its so cheap because I get a mail-in rebate for $2 per plug and $10 for the wires. The wires are also half the price of the Motorcraft ones to begin with.
To get Motorcraft plugs and wires it would be $20 for the plugs and $30 for the wires.
Go for it, it'll work fine...........
