For chefs Karen Yoo and Nathan McCall, the husband-and-wife team behind McCall's Meat and Fish in Los Feliz, it's not only important that customers have access to the same dry-aged beef and sushi-grade fish they used while working at some of the top restaurants in the country (including stints at Sona and Daniel NYC). It's also paramount that the average home cook knows how to get the best out of their above-average protein. After all, what's the point of ponying up for fresh Copper River salmon if you're going to spend an hour brutally scaling it in your sink? The freshly ground sausage with herbs is a must. And if you can't decide exactly what to do with any cut of meat, just ask — you've got a couple of chefs who once worked at Michelin-starred restaurants toiling just a few feet away from you. 2117 Hillhurst Ave., Los Feliz.

In this era of gastropubs and fusion bistros, it comes as a welcome relief to enter a place that still calls itself a "chophouse," as does Suzanne Tracht's 11-year-old West Hollywood restaurant, Jar. The moniker is a signal to other beautifully atavistic traits: a maitre d' in a suit and tie, white tablecloths, an iceberg wedge on the menu, a playlist of Sinatra and Armstrong and Nina Simone — and some of the best steaks in Los Angeles. Not only will your dry-aged Kansas City steak or your filet of beef or your prime rib-eye arrive perfectly cooked and presented, it will be served with a little white ceramic boat of sauce like the perfect accessory (a cufflink, a pocket square). The beef is so tender that it hardly needs the lobster béarnaise in the first place, but you are not here for restraint. (Think to yourself: What would Frank do?) Order a martini or two, then the stellar chocolate pudding for dessert. 8225 Beverly Blvd. (323) 655-6566, thejar.com.

Michael Cimarusti's seafood palace on Melrose Avenue in Hollywood earlier this summer celebrated its seventh birthday, a suitably biblical number for a fish restaurant with an excellent pastry kitchen. In those seven years, Providence has neither plateaued nor reversed direction: It has gotten better, kind of a stunning achievement for a restaurant that was worth 2 Michelin stars back when they gave them out in this town. Cimarusti and his crew manage something rare: a combination of technical mastery and playfulness, and a willingness to change things up instead of resting on their considerable laurels. The menu transforms as frequently as the fish swim in and out of their seasonal waters, the staff forages for local greenery, and the plates emerge from the kitchen like small epiphanies. Maybe you can credit it all to the fact that the chef and the general manager like to go fishing out of San Pedro on their few days off. 5955 Melrose Ave., Hlywd. (323) 460-4170, providencela.com.

Back in 2007, when Judy Ornstein first opened her neighborhood café FOOD, she had a recycling brainstorm: Why not install a plastic, serve-yourself, all-you-can-drink dispenser and fill it with filtered H20, ice cubes and whatever fruity odds and ends she found in the kitchen? Sometimes there are hunks of pineapple sweetly infusing the cold water; other times it's a mind-bendingly thirst-quenching day spa mainstay of cucumber slices and handfuls of fresh mint. Often they go refreshingly tropical with floating orange, lime and lemon slices. Ornstein's light, rejuvenating, bright idea also doubles as an art installation that changes daily: Some have compared the dispenser, sitting in a far corner next to a stack of glasses, to wallpaper in a ladies' restroom circa 1968 or a freeze-frame from a Trix cereal commercial. But we think it recalls a dreamy, zero-gravity fruit salad experiment at NASA — and what's not to like about that? 10571 W. Pico Blvd., W.L.A. (310) 441-7770, food-la.com.

Four dollars for a cup of coffee? Before you spit out your Starbucks, hear us out: There's a revolution going on in the java world that has little to do with the over-barbecued cafe loco you're used to and everything to do with small organic farms in South America that are churning out product with the kind of terroir previously associated only with wine. Now, we're not so sure about hints of chocolate and pomegranate in our perfect, 195-degree cup of Commissary joe, but it is super smooth and low on acid. Props to Intelligentsia Coffee for kickstarting this thing in L.A. But what we like about the 2-year-old Coffee Commissary in West Hollywood is that it's simple, casual and gimmick-free. Nobody's slurping and "cupping" this stuff, and you won't be huffed on if you don't know your Coava from your Victrola. Hot water is swirled over a cone of precious grinds, with the resulting brew transferred to a thick mug. That's it. 801 N. Fairfax Ave., #106, W. Hlywd. (323) 782- 1465, coffeecommissary.com.

On a chic strip of shops near a leafy Sherman Oaks neighborhood filled with film-industry types, Sweet Butter is designed to feel as if you've stumbled into a sidewalk pastry shop in Paris. Fleur de sel caramel brownies, butter-rich croissants, bread pudding with brioche (in coconut-lemon and chocolate versions), cinnamon muffins filled with homemade peach or strawberry jam, plum-lemon bars and savory bacon-cheddar scones are churned out by three in-house pastry chefs. Founder Leslie Danelian, a former food stylist and longtime caterer, keeps the charm factor high but the prices low: Mouth-watering chocolate chip cookies are $2, muffins and scones $2.75. The pastry items rotate, so each day Sweet Butter's glass case is filled with surprises. The French county–style restaurant offers full breakfast and lunch menus, with items such as grilled turkey, fig jam and bleu cheese sandwiches. 13824 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks.

The Silverston Invitational is named in honor of Harold Silverston, a longtime head track and field timer at the University of Michigan. Silverston held the position under four different head coaches -- Don Canham, David Martin, Dixon Farmer and Jack Harvey. He was also the head timer for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships when hosted by U-M. Prior to the invention of electronic timing, being an accomplished timer was viewed as a remarkable skill. In the sport of track and field it was an important and prestigious position to hold. Silverston was a well-respected timer known for being extremely accurate, which he took great pride in.
With the Big Ten Indoor Championships right around the corner on Feb. 28 and March 1, several of Michigan's athletes who will compete in that meet, especially its distance runners, will not compete in the Silverston Invitational as they continue to train and prepare for the conference meet. The meet will provide an opportunity for select Wolverines to get in one more tune-up meet before Big Tens and allow many of their younger student-athletes to compete in front of a home crowd.
Last weekend, the Wolverines split their squad three ways to compete in the SPIRE Invitational, Don Kirby Invitational and Husky Classic.
At the SPIRE Invitational, Bradley James jumped a season-best 2.08 meters (6-9.75) to finish third and move into ninth in the Big Ten standings. Derek Sievers notched a personal best in the shot put for the second straight week with his toss of 18.06 meters (59-3), which ranks ninth in the conference.
At the Don Kirby Invitational, Ethan Dennis took fourth in the elite weight throw with a toss of 20.26 meters (66-5.75). Erick Gavin clocked a new personal-best time of 7.99 in the 60-meter hurdles, which converts to 8.01 due to the altitude.
Michigan sent four Wolverines to compete in the 5,000-meter run at the Husky Classic, which is known for highly competitive, fast races. Morsi Rayyan highlighted the performances in Seattle, placing 12th in the invitational section of the 5K with a new personal-record time of 13:57.07, which ranks third in the Big Ten.
With one competition remaining before the championship season, U-M has six student-athletes ranked in the Big Ten's top 10 in their respective events, including Mason Ferlic, who is ranked in the top 10 in the 3,000- and 5,000-meter run.
Mason Ferlic -- 8th -- 3,000m (8:07.08)
Morsi Rayyan -- 3rd -- 5,000m (13:57.07)
Mason Ferlic -- 6th -- 5,000m (14:05.35)
Mark Beams -- 7th -- 5,000m (14:07.10)
Bradley James -- 9th -- high jump (2.08m, 6-9.75)
Ethan Dennis -- 8th -- weight throw (20.32m, 66-8)
Derek Sievers -- 9th -- shot put (18.06m, 59-3)
Jerry Clayton is in his first year as Michigan's head coach, working primarily with U-M's field event athletes. Prior to moving to Ann Arbor, Clayton spent 15 seasons as an assistant head coach at Auburn. He has strong Big Ten ties, as he competed for Illinois and was two-time NCAA qualifier in the shot put, and returned to Illinois as an assistant coach from 1980-89. Clayton has produced several high-level national and international athletes, including 16 NCAA individual champions, 85 NCAA All-Americans, 39 international team competitors, 24 qualifiers for the U.S. Olympic Trials and 33 participants in Olympic Games and World Championship competition.
Assistant coach Steven Rajewsky is in his first year as a member of U-M's coaching staff, working primarily with U-M's sprinters and hurdles. Prior to coming to Michigan, Rajewsky spent six years as an assistant coach at Kent State.
Assistant coach Alex Gibby is in his fourth season as U-M's distance coach. In his first three seasons, he guided nine student-athletes to the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds, two to the NCAA Indoor Championships and three to NCAA Outdoor Championship appearances. As the Wolverines' cross country head coach, he led his 2013 squad to the NCAA Great Lakes Region title and a runner-up finish at the Big Ten Championships.
Team Captains: Senior Herman Washington, as well as senior/juniors Mark Beams and Cody Riffle were named tri-captains for the 2014 season. Each captain was chosen by the team and coaches to represent the different event areas-- Beams (distance), Riffle (field) and Washington (sprints).
Returning All-Americans: The Wolverines return four student-athletes who earned All-America honors in 2013. Senior/junior Cody Riffle (Toledo, Ohio/St. John's Jesuit) placed 12th at the NCAA Indoor Championships and ninth at the outdoor national championships, earning All-America second team honors at both events. Fifth-year senior Ethan Dennis(Grand Rapids, Mich./Grandville) finished ninth in the weight throw at the NCAA Indoor Championships and 20th in the hammer throw at the national outdoor event, garnering All-America second team and honorable mention accolades, respectively. In his first year competing in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, junior/sophomore Mason Ferlic (St. Paul, Minn./Mounds Park Academy) ran to a 13th-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to earn All-America second team recognition. Senior Ali Arastu (Northville, Mich./Northville) finished fourth in the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, becoming U-M's only First Team All-American of the year.
In the Record Book: Ethan Dennis owns Michigan's indoor weight throw (21.20m, 69-6 3/4) and outdoor hammer throw (62.75m, 213-2) records, while Cody Riffle has set new school records in the indoor (19.25m, 63-2) and outdoor (18.80m, 61-8.25) shot put. Both indoor records were set at the 2013 dual meet against Michigan State.
Qualifying Standards for NCAA Championships: There are no qualifying standards for the championships season. There will be a track indexing standard to delineate the different indexing among flat, undersized, banked and oversized. Qualification to the championships is based on descending-order list for the season. For each individual event contested, the top 16 declared student-athletes will be accepted into the competition. For each relay event contested, the top 12 declared relay teams will be accepted into the competition. Due to new NCAA legislation, last-chance meets will no longer be held the week prior to the national indoor meet. [ USTFCCCA Selection Criteria ]
For the second straight year, the Big Ten Indoor Championships will be held at the SPIRE Institute in Geneva, Ohio. The NCAA Indoor Championships will be hosted by the University of New Mexico.
Fri-Sat., Feb. 28-March 1 -- at Big Ten Indoor Championships (Geneva, Ohio), 10 a.m.
Fri-Sat., March 14-15 -- at NCAA Indoor Championships (Albuquerque, N.M.), 10 a.m./11 a.m. MST

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Okay, we ended up sailing Lake Champlain. What a great week! When I was researching Champlain, there wasn't a lot of commentary on it, so here's a bit of a (longish) digest as my contribution;
We chartered from Navtours, a firm based in Montreal with a bunch of boats on the Lake in the US under their management. The boat we chose was a Beneteau Oceanis 281. Comfortable for the two of us, easily single-handled as well.
Boat was in good shape, though the inflatable dinghy supplied had a non-functioning outboard, no seat and no oarlocks! We were given a seat from another dinghy, but we didn't realize the absence of oarlocks until it was time to row. Minor inconvienience, I rigged some out of spare cord.
Boat also came with very beefy ground tackle, but without a windlass, so my shoulders were to get a bit of a workout. All that chain will prove comforting, though.
We started at a marina just south of Plattsburg, NY, conveniently close to Valcour Island. Our first night was spent on the hook in Sloop Bay, a beautiful cove on the east shore of Valcour Island, with good holding and protection from all but an easterly wind. As it was the end of the Labor Day weekend, boat traffic was light, and we shared the anchorage with one other boat. In the morning we rowed to a sandy beach and hiked along some of the island's well-marked trails. Water was warm enough for a refreshing swim as well (about 72F).
On Tuesday, after a nice breakfast that Deb managed to prepare on the two-burner Origo alcohol stove, we headed off to Mallett's Bay, on the Vermont side of the Lake, just north of Burlington. A little nervous negotiating some shoals leading to a cut that we had to go through, but all went well. Mallett's Bay was another beautiful anchorage, marred only by a couple of speedboats pulling waterskiers until sunset. Holding was good, and we were the only boat anchored just off of a state park.
Wednesday was a great downwind run to Burlington, where we rented a slip for the night from the Ferry Dock Marina. Because of the chop even inside the Burlington breakwater, the marina owner, Kurt, let us stay tied to the fuel dock for the night. Went out to dinner at the Shanty on the Shore restaurant and had oysters and Maine lobsters on the shore of a freshwater lake. Go figure.
Thursday, the winds were roaring up the lake from the south as we made our way back to the New York side, to Willsboro Bay. We reefed the main and the boat handled well. We clocked 6.2 kt for a while, but we were more comfortable when we had things throttled down to about 5.5 kt or so.
Willsboro Bay was amazing. The western shore is all steep cliffs and huge depths close up to shore. The eastern shore has houses, marinas and reasonable depths. So, we went along the western shore, looking for a place to tuck in for the night. We found a great spot, tucked near a bit of a gravelly beach, with enough swing room between the towering cliffs and depths below 40 ft. Simply beautiful. We spent the afternoon there, but just before sunset the anchor dragged a bit, and we found ourselves slowly drifting away from shore with the anchor dangling in 120' of water! So, after a back-breaking haul, we motored to the other side of the bay, and anchored in 15' for a secure and comfortable night.
On Friday the winds were from the south still, so our return trip north to Snug Harbor Marina was on a run. We stopped for lunch on the west coast of Valcour Island before returning the boat.
I've referenced a .kmz fiie from Google Earth for reference to the anchorages we stayed at, and will make some entries in Active Captain as well.
All in all, a great charter experience!
|Enjoy yourself. On the north end of the lake, make sure to stop by the North Hero Marina (Tiki Bar/grill, moorings and/or dock, and anchoring around the corner, and pool if it's not too cold), Burton Island State Park (moorings available or anchor out), Valcour Island (anchorages all around with various hiking trails), and Burlington. Burlington is by far one of our favorite places. Also, if you stop by Willsboro Bay Marina and want to drink for free, walk down Dock 4 and tell most any sailboater there that you know Pelican. Enjoy yourself!
Lake Champlain it will be! Thanks for all the input. I didn't charter with Winds of Ireland, as their phone seems to have been disconnected and their website offers no email address.(I even emailed "webmaster", "admin", and info, to no avail). So we're renting a small Beneteau from Navtours, an outfit based in Monttreal with lots of boats on Champlain, north of Narrowsburg. Should be a good week!
|Hopefully only temporarily. My business is being ravaged by the economy, so I need to spend some time on site to try to get things in order. We'll be in Albany late next week and hopefully only have to spend a month or two there. I need to focus on finding customers and business, and then we can head out again.
Thanks for the ideas! Chesapeake (Haven Yacht Charters) is a lot less expensive than either Winds of Ireland or Northport Yacht Charters, but the lake is looking like the spot. bugs and me makes for an unhappy sailor. I was pleasantly surprised by the lack of bugs last September down on the Pamlico. Go figure!
Chris, you on your way back north? I haven't followed your blog in a while..
|We kept our boat on Champlain for 2 years... and I've been on the Chesapeake, and I've been through Maine. We've been cruising up and down the east coast for 9 months now, and we'd put Burlington, VT, on Lake Champlain, in our top three for a cruising destination. Between Church St. with restaurants, bars, street performers and little shops, to the moorings, docks and dinghy dock at the waterfront, to the festivals they have on the waterfront, to the nice people, it's one of the best places we've visited. You also have a number of state parks that are beautiful and unique, deep water (no worrying about going aground on Champlain!) it's just a wonderful lake. With regards to Maine, it's also an incredible place to cruise. You just have to watch out for the fog and the rocks, but with Acadia National Park, Monhegan, the waffle/ice cream place in Booth Bay, Camden, Rockland/Rockport and more, there are a ridiculous number of places to visit - and you can't beat the seafood! The Chesapeake also has lots of places to visit, but in August/September you still have to deal with an excessive amount of bugs/jellyfish and possibly heat. I'd personally lean towards Maine or Champlain.

I only have knowledge of the Chesapeake, but second all that wwilson posted above.
There are outfits that charter boats in Deltaville, VA and while Labor day will be a busy weekend, the odds are if you choose something besides one of the 2 or 3 most popular anchorages you'll be able to find a place either alone or sharing with just a couple of other boats. For a 5 day charter you could choose to visit several of the Chesapeake classics like Onancock, VA, Tides Inn(Irvington, VA), Great Wicomico River, Tangier, VA, Mobjack Bay, St. Marys, MD, Solomons Island, MD. These are just a few of the possiblites.
As far as powerboats, I don't know exactly why, but the bay area near Deltaville is relatively devoid of the Cigarette boat crowd and the ratio is probably close to 50/50 sail to power. Most of the powerboats fall into the categories of Cruiser/Trawler, fishing or working boats, mostly fishing or working. As much as sailors love to slam powerboaters, I've never had much of an issue with powerboats around Deltaville.

Just a suggestion. I haven't really been following the dev thread, so I don't know much about how far you are or where I can download Alaska. Creating a nice release thread and, of course, talking to TheUni about putting your skin here:
would be an excellent next step.
Regardless, congrats on the work and what looks like a really fantastic skin.
Edit: Nevermind. Looks like it's all set up now. Once again, congrats.
Ought to be a skin release thread

Rosa Parks Statue Dedication in U.S. Capitol (photos)
Legendary civil rights activist Rosa Parks was honored Feb 27 with a statue inside the U.S. Capitol with a dedication ceremony attended by President Barack Obama and other notables.
On December 1, 1955, a 42-year-old African-American seamstress named Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Montgomery, Ala., on her way home from work. When a white man entered the bus, the driver insisted that Parks give up her seat so that the man could sit. She refused and was arrested and convicted for violating the rules of segregation common throughout the South at that time, known as the "Jim Crow" laws. Parks appealed her conviction, formally challenging the legality of segregation. At the same time, local civil rights activists, aided by Martin Luther King, Jr., started a boycott of the Montgomery bus system The boycott lasted 381 days until December 1956 when the Supreme Court ruled segregation illegal, and Montgomery buses were integrated. The Rosa Parks incident in a profound way marked the beginning of the non-violent protest movement in support of civil rights in the United States.
The 2,700-pound bronze statue of Parks now stands in Statuary Hall between those of suffragist Frances E. Willard and refrigeration and air conditioning pioneer John Gorrie. Rosa Parks thus becomes the first black woman to be honored in the Capitol with a full-length statue.
Parks died in 2005 at the age of 92. She herself had no children but the event was attended by numerous nieces, nephews and cousins plus various dignitaries and civil rights activists.

text: Ignorance is bliss, but it's not very good for your health. U.S. News Health reports that 76% of 1,000 American polled agreed with the statement "wine can be good for your heart." Hey, the good news is: That's true, but only if you consume two glasses per day if you're a man and one glass if you're a woman. Otherwise -- and here comes the really bad news -- excess drinking can lead to all kinds of problems like irregular heartbeat, obesity, cancer, high blood pressure and even heart failure.

My post on the Old Rite Mass in Argentina was in response to several comments I read in various places stating that there is no provision for the usus antiquior in Argentina. I did not intend to make any criticism of the Rorate Caeli blog (which did not make that assertion) and I apologise if that impression was given. I am also happy to link to NC's post How Summorum Pontificum was blocked and trampled on in Buenos Aires: facts, not fantasy and disinformation.
So although Cardinal Bergoglio did initially arrange for a Mass according to the norms of Summorum Pontificum, it was such that the readings were from the modern lectionary in the vernacular - so far in accord with a possible first reading of SP (though Universae Ecclesiae n.26 made clear that the readings should be from the 1962 lectionary) - but also with lay readers which is not provided for in SP. Attendance at the Mass dwindled and it was discontinued.
Just to be clear also, the Masses which are on the google map that I linked to are all outside the diocese of Buenos Aires which is just the area in white on this map.
I write this post in the interest of accuracy. As is probably fairly obvious, I am trying to post as many positive things about Pope Francis as I can. However that is a useless exercise if the truth is not adhered to carefully. The purpose of this post is not to fan the flames of criticism of our new Holy Father but to be as accurate as possible. Let us pray the God will guard and guide the Holy Father in all his responsibilities, including his governance of the Sacred Liturgy.

If you are X out of Y in the queue, that means that they have to review X submissions to get to yours and that there are a total of Y submissions in the queue.
Now I understand. Thanks you!
So long… 16 hours and still waiting
Sometimes it can take a while mate The people running this site do a great job and run a great service. 16 hours isn't a pain, their workload is especially big now cause the competition is about to end – people are uploading all the files they can in hope that they will win.
Considering the number of submissions we receive, a half day is quite quick. I plan on improving this even more so over the next couple of weeks.
I got tired of this waiting of the progress in queue. Time is money.
Yes I am waiting too 1day ago then until now no approvals, really dont know what was happening. they approve files in long period of time that is what Ive notice. better to wait when they have time on it. I think they have a maximum number of submission before they approve files.. as for the moment there are 13 submissions. I think the maximum is 15 submissions. Any idea?
haha wow i been waiting 5 hours, so i guess i should be happy

Comic Device Makes You Pelvic Thrust To 'Like' Things In The Real World
The NFC enabled device makes liking a more deliberate physical act that generates online activity.
What if you didn't have to be browsing online to "Like" things? Facebook may have expanded their reach throughout the web, making it simpler to "like" anything, but they haven't necessarily tackled the real world yet.
The Like Belt by Deeplocal accomplishes the dual goal of bringing "liking" into the physical world while also commenting on the current generation's potential overuse of the action. The like belt let's a user attach their NFC-enabled smartphone to their belt so that they must thrust their pelvis in the direction of the objects with RFID chips in them to like them. This process also works for 'liking' people with NFC enabled devices they want to like or become friend with, and for checking into various locations.
Since the motion itself is so odd and perhaps slightly embarrassing it forces the person "liking" something to consider the action more carefully. Someone equipped with the belt would have to genuinely consider if making the thrust is worth it depending on what environment they are in.
The devices utilization of NFC technology also tethers a physical act that is disassociated from traditional screen interactions on the internet. Online activity may have become a passive supplement to real life rather than a simple distraction from it.
Take a look at the video below to see the LikeBelt in action:

I am Thermomix, hear me roar (and chop, mix, stir, heat etc). Photo: Angus Mordant
Pastry maestro Adriano Zumbo makes ganache in his. At The Apollo, chef Jonathan Barthelmess's Greek grill in Sydney's Potts Point, it gets turned on to spin up lemon curd for a lemon pie and a green chilli emulsion for a raw tuna dish. MasterChef judge George Calombaris has used one on the show to make a sabayon and has one in each of his restaurants. Pendolino in Sydney's Strand Arcade has one, primarily used to whip up purees (such as a parsnip puree served with oyster blade steak), but it also gives the restaurant's spinach ravioli a filling of the finest texture.
Yes, I'm talking about an expensive piece of kitchen wizardry. But no, it's not just for professional chefs to play with. There are now Thermomix machines in more than 100,000 kitchens around Australia and 85% of those are in domestic kitchens — despite its $1939 price tag and the fact that you can only buy one via an in-home demo from a consultant. There are now 1,600 consultants around the country zealously preaching the Thermomix message. In fact, the Thermomix demonstration could be the Tupperware party of the 21st century, minus the games and the giveaways.
A colleague who attended a Thermomix demonstration with other keen home cooks particularly remembers the "rabbit from a hat classic" — the machine's capacity to turn granular sugar into powdery icing sugar. Dani Valent, the author of In the Mix: Great Thermomix Recipes, has a Thermomix party trick: she makes a sorbet of cucumber, mint and lime in the machine using dry ice, creating a bubbling, Harry Potter-esque display of green smoke as the dry ice combines with the liquid. On Twitter, Melbourne "Thermomix fetishist" Bobby Green, aka @bobby_ellen, tells me that she uses hers to mill whole grains to flour.
I'm happy to buy my icing sugar and wholemeal flour and I don't have any great desire to fill my kitchen with green smoke but when I declared here a few weeks back that the life of my vintage Sunbeam Mixmaster had come to an end, Thermomix got in touch. Would I like to borrow one of their machines to put it through its paces?
I realised there was a possibility I could be stepping into the clutches of a cult. Thermomix owners are a passionate, unusual breed. My concerns grow when I discover that Thermomix owners give their sturdy white machines names. "Mine is Therminator," blogger and food professional @Lemonpi tells me on Twitter. "@VFleurdeSel's is Mr Darcy."
"My thermomix name is 'arry as in Harry Potter cause it does all sorts of magic!" — that from "Kikeen" on the official Australian Thermomix recipe community website, which is speckled with LOLs and emoticons. "Mine is called YODA as it looks a lot like the Star Wars character," adds "Sailor Girl". "My hubby has named ours the Food-motron. He is convinced it will be his robotic dinner maker," says "AshleaJayne". "We use a code word "Theodora" amongst those of us who are owners when people get sick of us rabbiting on about our T/X's," says another.
Still, I take the plunge and, within half an hour of the consultant's arrival at my apartment wheeling two bags — one of ingredients and another holding the machine — it starts to become clear why there might be some rabbiting on about this machine, which is blender, food processor, mixmaster, cooker and spice grinder (among other things) all in one. I am suitably amazed and astonished when she shows me the sugar-to-icing-sugar party trick and then, within minutes, uses the sugar, plus fruit, ice and egg white, to create a sorbet (albeit more granita than sorbet in texture). I'm deeply impressed when, within a few minutes, she's turned water, yeast, oil, salt and flour into a pizza dough which then goes on to double and triple in size. I'm less enthusiastic about her mushroom risotto. Nothing wrong with the texture of the rice but the "TM Vegetable Stock Concentrate" used in place of stock — a murky pasty salty vegetable puree (as seen on page 17 of the official Thermomix cookbook) does the dish no favours.
And then the consultant leaves me on my own with this masterpiece of German engineering, ominous and silent in the corner of my kitchen. I consider my needs. I need dinner. I consider the Thermomix cookbook and a recipe on page 72 for potato and leek soup. I consider the contents of my fridge and pantry. There are potatoes, onions. No leeks. A potato and onion soup will do. I ad-lib a bit more, substituting water and a stock cube for the "TM Vegetable Stock Concentrate" (the recipe calls for 2tbsp of that awful vegetable stock concentrate with 700g water) and, for the purpose of this exercise, decide to weigh ingredient quantities, in place of my more typical quantity guesswork.
A soup recipe, as spelt out by the cookbook, is a good vehicle to explain the contraption's workings:
* first, the roughly cubed onion and potatoes go into the metal bowl and I use the inbuilt scales to weigh them. I click on the lid, then set the machine's timer to 10 seconds and its blade speed to 7 to chop the vegetables finely.
* leaving the diced vegetables in the bowl, I set the scales to 0 and add butter until the scale's digital reading tells me I've put in 30g. I click on the lid, set the timer to 2 minutes, the heating element to 100°C and the blade speed to 1. (Turning on the blade activates the machine. The machine beeps and stops when the time set expires.) I remove the lid to check how soft and "sweated" my vegetables are. Not enough. I click the lid back on and repeat the step.
* I set the scales to 0 again and pour in my water with dissolved stock cube until the machine tells me I've put in 700g (in Thermomix recipes, all liquid ingredients are expressed in grams). I set the timer to 15 minutes, the heating element to 100°C and the blade speed to 1. I leave the machine to its own devices and fold the washing.
* 15 minutes later, I return to lift the lid on what I hope will be a soup of some gloriousness. I test the vegetables and decide they need a little longer. I reset the machine and answer some emails. Returning 10 minutes later I'm content with the done-ness. Time to puree the soup. I click the lid back on and take the blade speed from 1 to a ferociously fast and sharp 8 for 30 seconds. Lid the lid then to consider the result: a steamy velvety puree. I toss a bit of cream in, season it, give it a bit more blade for a few seconds, then it's done.
It's not the best soup I've ever made — a raw-ish onion taste seems to cut through and of course a stock cube will never match the purity and depth of flavour of a real stock — but I'm liking its smoothness, the short time it's taken to make, and the petite pile of washing up. A chopping board, a knife, the machine's bowl and a spatula are the only things in the sink.
Over the next couple of weeks, I get to know the blond German visitor in my kitchen a little better. One night I use it to make butter chicken and love how the first step in the process is to use the machine as a spice roaster and grinder: whole cumin and fennel seeds in bowl, "dry roasted" for 2 minutes at 100°C on blade speed 1, then "milled" for 3 minutes on blade speed 8. A fine aromatic spice powder is the result.
My colleagues are mightily impressed by the cookbook's "Best Coconut Butter Cake", which I make one morning before work. From weighing the butter and sugar in the bowl and creaming it (a process that takes about 30 seconds and results in a magnificent pale textured cream), to pouring the batter into a cake tin, takes about 10 minutes, max. No, the machine doesn't cook the cake. You'll still need an oven for the baking. (And, in a cake recipe, where exact quantities matter, adding subsequent ingredients using the machine's in-built scales can be perilous if you over-add; you'll find yourself spooning out an over-zealous shower of flour, or pour of milk.)
From Dani Valent's book I make olive bread one day and salmon confit with sorrel sauce the next. (The salmon fillets are cooked in a zip-lock plastic bag in the Thermomix's "Varoma" steaming dish, which fits on top of the machine's bowl. The steam can come from something cooking in the bowl, or just simmering water.)
I considered a suggestion from her publisher Geoff Slattery, a former restaurateur and ardent Thermomixer, that I try his apricot jam recipe in the machine but decided instead to deploy my sugar supplies in his chocolate mousse recipe. "You can't make chocolate mousse or custard better," he emailed, adding at the end of the chocolate mousse recipe: "Step 9: Serve, sprinkled with reserved chocolate and a shot of Irish Whiskey on the side. Step 10 Book into Golden Door."
I dropped off a couple of ramekins of the mousse to my next-door neighbour and he, evidently a far more sensible person than me, later told me over the back fence that it was way too rich for him. But I, in a disgraceful display of gluttony and excess, ate the finest, creamiest, lightest chocolate mousse every night for the next week and one day for breakfast.
Even still, if I had a spare two-grand, I'm not convinced I'd spend it on the Thermomix. With more time in the company of the thing I'm sure I could iron out the problems I had: the gloopy butter chicken sauce (did I over-puree it?), the dry, overcooked salmon (mea culpa, mea culpa maxima: I didn't take into account that I was cooking one fillet not the four that Dani's recipe called for), the mushy risotto I made on my last day with the machine (oops: I determined it needed more cooking time but gave it too much more — and, when I reset it for the extra cooking time, neglected to put the blade on the "reverse" setting which creates a stirring motion rather than a cutting one). I'm sure I would learn to adapt my own recipes to work in the machine rather than rely on the uninspiring official cookbook and I'm sure I would eventually develop an instinct for what time-heat-blade settings were necessary for any particular process.
But it's a non-essential in my cooking life: I don't bake much, I try and avoid sweets, I last made pizza dough in high school, and I don't have a lot of call for ultra-fine purees and sauces. And besides, I can't help but feel that, in the warm metal embrace of this machine, cooking is a cold distant automated thing, remote from the sensual, instinct and thought absent.

Georgia Wraps Up Charleston Classic Against Nebraska
Nov. 23, 2013
About the Game
New Faces Abound on Bulldog Roster
Georgia's core of returning players remains solid for the 2014 season, yet coach Mark Fox will be incorporating a slew of newcomers into the lineup. Senior Donte' Williams and sophomore Brandon Morris are the only two returnees who were starting at the end of last season. Three key players, however, have seen significant playing time, plenty of which came as starters: redshirt junior Marcus Thornton, junior Nemi Djurisic and sophomore Charles Mann. The latter, in fact, earned Freshman All-SEC honors last season in primarily a reserve's role. Djurisic is Georgia's top returning scorer, despite his part-time starter status last season. Thornton had started seven of nine games before a knee injury ended his 2013 season.
Probable Starters
#Assists Per Game
Head Coach: Mark Fox
Head Coach: Tim Miles
Georgia vs. Nebraska
Sunday's game is just the third all-time meeting between these two programs. They split the first two meetings, both played in Lincoln:
Both of these meetings took place during the 17-year tenure of former Bulldog head coach Hugh Durham. The latter game, in fact, proved to be his final game coaching at Georgia, where he remains the program's all-time winningest basketball coach.
Much has been made of the new enforcement of existing rules, as well as new rules, for the coming basketball season. Specifically, the following are supposed to be different from past seasons:
Under the revised block/charge call in men's basketball, a defensive player is not permitted to move into the path of an offensive player once he has started his upward motion with the ball to attempt a field goal or pass. If the defensive player is not in legal guarding position by this time, it is a blocking foul. Previously, a defender had to be in legal guarding position when the offensive player lifted off the floor.
It is believed that the rule change will: 1) Allow for more offensive freedom; 2) Provide clarity for officials in making this difficult call; and 3) Enhance the balance between offense and defense.
Additionally, officials will be required to adhere to new points of emphasis, all designed to encourage "freedom of movement" in the game of basketball. They include: 1) When a defensive player keeps a hand or forearm on an opponent; 2) When a defensive player puts two hands on an opponent; 3) When a defensive player continually jabs by extending his arm(s) and placing a hand or forearm on the opponent; 4) When a player uses an arm bar to impede the progress of an opponent.
Thus far, as all participants adjust to these changes, the volume of called fouls has risen measurably. In Georgia's five games thus far (exhibition + 3 in regular season), there were 217 fouls called (43/game). For what it's worth, last season there were an average of 36 fouls called in Georgia's games.
Georgia began this season amidst low expectations...externally, anyway. The Bulldogs were picked by the media that cover SEC basketball to finish 11th in the 14-team league, ahead of only South Carolina, Mississippi State and Auburn. This, despite a 9-9 SEC record last year and an eighth-place tie in the final regular-season standings. Kentucky, Florida and Tennessee were picked 1-2-3 in the same poll. Additionally, no Bulldogs were selected to the 16-player pre-season All-SEC lists.
About the Schedule
Conference expansion manifests itself in many strange ways, not the least of which occurs in scheduling. Georgia fans noticed this oddity most recently as their football team has traveled to Auburn in consecutive seasons.
This season their basketball team will experience one of the oddest quirks to its schedule in years. Kentucky will not travel to Athens for a game this season for the first time since the 1962-63 season. Same for Tennessee. For Florida, which also won't play a game in Athens this season, the last time it didn't play in Athens was in 1961-62. The Gators are the most frequent opponent in UGA hoops history.
It took a World War to keep all three schools out of Athens together in the same season the last time. Not since the 1943-44 season -- when Georgia played just 17 games and dotted its schedule with random groups like Lawson General Hospital and Robins Airfield -- has this phenomenon occurred.
Georgia has already played two of five games this season against Southern Conference teams, having been a charter SoCon member itself back in 1921. It has an all-time record of 81-20 against current SoCon schools, most notably the 22-4 mark against Furman and 11-4 against Georgia Southern. After defeating Wofford in the season opener, and facing Davidson in Charleston, the Bulldogs are slated to play three more of their conference brethren this season: Appalachian State, Chattanooga and Western Carolina.
From the Temple Game
Georgia trailed by 13 at halftime and by 15 early in the final period. If they had stopped Temple on its final possession, it would have been the biggest successful comeback by Georgia in the Mark Fox era.
As it was, the loss marked Georgia's fourth straight when the opposition scored on its last possession. That streak goes back to the Bulldogs' last three SEC road games of the 2013 season.
The game represented a breakout of sorts for sophomore guard Kenny Gaines, who set career highs in points (21) and minutes played (35). Gaines spent the 2013 season backing up eventual NBA lottery pick Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and therefore, found his playing time sparse at times.
The game also marked the return to competition by sophomore forward Brandon Morris, who missed the season's first three games at the discretion of head coach Mark Fox. Morris made his presence felt, particularly with eight second-half points and a pair of key assists.
Georgia has encountered a pair of hot-shooting opponents in its first two Charleston Classic games. Davidson and Temple have combined to make 19 of 44 attempts from 3-point range (43 pct.), a stark reversal of the Bulldogs' first two opponents this season (Wofford & Ga. Tech) who shot just 21 percent from beyond the arc.
2012-13 Season Recap
The Bulldogs posted a 15-17 overall record, 9-9 in SEC games, a mark that was good for an eighth-place tie in the final standings.
Sophomore guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope swept the major post-season individual awards, winning SEC Player of the Year by the Coaches and the Associated Press. He became just the second Bulldog to win any SEC P-O-Y award since wire services began naming recipients in 1965.
Georgia posted a 5-game win streak in SEC play, the program's longest in 12 years. Three of those five games were on the road.
Point guard Charles Mann earned appointment to the Coaches' Freshman All-SEC team, the Bulldogs' second such honor in as many years.
Caldwell-Pope announced in March 2013 that he would enter the NBA Draft, a wise decision in light of his eventual status as a lottery pick by the Detroit Pistons.
Williams a Seasoned Veteran
With Marcus Thornton receiving a medical redshirt season from 2013, Donte' Williams became the Bulldogs' lone senior this season. He is already the most experienced Bulldog, having started 59 games in the past two seasons. That's more than twice the total of Thornton, who is second on the team in career starts with 27, including seven in his truncated season of 2013. Williams enters this season with 471 career points, second among all Bulldogs behind Nemi Djurisic, who has tallied 475 in two seasons.
Mann is the Man
Charles Mann enjoyed one of the best seasons by a freshman guard in Georgia history last year. The Alpharetta resident ranked third on the team in scoring at 6.7 points per game. He led the Bulldogs in assists with 92 and free-throw attempts with 170. Mann's 92 assists, in fact, were the most by a freshman guard since Dustin Ware's 108 in 2009. Ware started 17 games and averaged over 25 minutes that season.
Mann's 170 trips to the free throw line --- fifth-best total in the SEC last season -- were the most by a Georgia freshman guard since Litterial Green tried 187 foul shots in his rookie season of 1989. Djurisic is Dogs' Top Returning Scorer
Junior forward Nemi Djurisic is Georgia's top returning scorer for the 2013-14 season. The 6-8 native of Montenegro averaged 7.9 points during the entirety of the season, 7.8 during 18 SEC games. This marks the first time in nine years that Georgia has no double-figure scorer coming back from the previous season. In the 2004-05 season, Levi Stukes was the Bulldogs' highest-scoring returnee at 9.5 points. The 7.9 ppg average by Djurisic is the smallest average by the highest-scoring returnee since Ray Harrison led the 1996-97 Bulldogs with a 6.3 scoring average.
Forte Cracks the Starting Lineup
Junior-college transfer Cameron Forte became the first Georgia newcomer this season to earn first-team status. The Tempe, Ariz., native played his way into the starting lineup with a pair of strong performances, first in Georgia's exhibition game vs. UNC-Pembroke and later in the season opener vs. Wofford. He tallied 10 points and seven rebounds in just 18 minutes of the exhibition game. Four days later he contributed nine points and two boards in 16 minutes off the bench against Wofford.
Forte has created a niche for himself as perhaps the Bulldogs' most effective inside scorer. In the description of teammate Nemi Djurisic, "he just hunts the basket."
Forte originally signed with Texas Tech out of McClintock High School in Tempe but lasted just one semester in Lubbock before transferring to Northern Arizona. He eventually landed at Howard College in Big Spring, Texas.
Georgia and the SEC
Following are a few tidbits about Georgia's history in the SEC:
Georgia's all-time record in SEC games, covering 80 years, is 498-732 (.405). That ranks 10th of 12 SEC members (excluding Missouri and Texas A&M).
Georgia can claim one SEC regular-season championship (1990), one regular-season divisional title (2002) and two SEC Tournament crowns (1983, 2008).
Georgia has had just two AP SEC Player of the Year: Dominique Wilkins in 1981 and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope last season. Other superlative post-season awards include Coaches' SEC Defensive Player of the Year (Rashad Wright in 2004), AP SEC Newcomer of the Year (Jarvis Hayes in 2002), and Scholar-Athlete of the Year (Dave Bliss in 2008).
Wilkins was the first of four Georgia players to lead the SEC in scoring at season's end. He averaged a league-best 23.6 points per game in 1981. Others to follow him have been Vern Fleming (19.8 ppg in 1984), Jumaine Jones (18.8 ppg in 1999) and Jarvis Hayes (18.6 ppg in 2002).
Georgia has an all-time SEC Tournament record of 40-51. The 2008 tourney marked the first time since 1997 that Georgia has reached the finals.
Staff Changes for 2014
For the first time of his 4+ seasons in Athens, head coach Mark Fox made changes to his immediate coaching staff. Three-year UGA letterman (2002-04) Jonas Hayes was promoted from Operations Coordinator to Assistant Coach. A native Atlantan, Hayes returned to UGA in 2012 after serving as an Assistant Coach at Belmont Abbey in North Carolina for five seasons. He had also assisted the programs at South Carolina State, Morehouse and his alma mater, Douglass High School, after graduating from UGA in 2004.
Hayes, whose twin brother Jarvis continues to play professionally overseas, became the first Georgia basketball alumnus to hold a full-time assistant's position on the staff at his alma mater since Mark Slonaker assisted Hugh Durham from 1989-95.
To replace Hayes in the Coordinator's position, Fox hired Byron Samuels in May of 2013. The Winston-Salem, N.C., native, is a veteran of the collegiate ranks whose career includes head coaching stops at Hampton, Radford and, most lastly, at Hillsborough Community College, where he coached recent UGA alum John Florveus. Samuels is a veteran of SEC basketball, having assisted four Tennessee teams that earned NCAA Tournament berths.
Fox Best at Molding Talent
Blogger and hoops junkie Dan Hanner of RealGM.com penned an article in February of 2012 that anointed Georgia head coach Mark Fox as the top coach in college basketball at player development. Hanner used a complex formula to rate college coaches. Among Hanner's many observations he writes, "Mark Fox has truly been fantastic at getting the most out of his players."
The top five in the Player Development category include Fox; Bo Ryan (Wisconsin); Craig Robinson (Oregon State); Lorenzo Romar (Washington); and Mike Montgomery (Cal).
Perhaps the most tangible proof of Fox's talent development is the number of NBA draftees and current pros that have played for him. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope became the 11th player under his tutelage to get drafted by an NBA club. He was the fourth 1st-rounder.
Fox Also Tops at Producing Grads
Head Coach Mark Fox must also receive some degree of credit for developing high-performing students in the classroom. Since his arrival in April of 2009, no fewer than 14 Georgia basketball players have earned their undergraduate degrees. Every player that has exhausted his eligibility at UGA under Fox has completed his degree.
Prominent among this group of 14 includes Damien Wilkins - nephew of UGA great Dominique Wilkins - whose last year of eligibility came in 2004 and who has played professionally in the NBA ever since.
Last summer the Georgia program was recognized by the NCAA for its Academic Progress Rate (APR) scored of 990, which ranked among the top 10 percent of all men's basketball programs.

Mr. Everything | BuckeyeXtra
There are 44 comments on the Columbus Dispatch story from Mar 30, 2010, titled Mr. Everything | BuckeyeXtra. In it, Columbus Dispatch reports that:Evan Turner's remarkable third season at Ohio State assured that his No. 21 will someday join the Mount Rushmore of retired numbers hanging above the court in Value City Arena.
Join the discussion below, or Read more at Columbus Dispatch.
#1 Mar 30, 2010
Turner is good, but can never be great with so many turnovers. I would not hang the jersey.
#2 Mar 30, 2010
To me, the greatest joy in being an Ohio State alum and fan, even beyond the frequent championships, is the joy of following the great athletes who choose and are chosen by OSU. Of the many excellent OSU athletes, there are a few whose extraordinary talent, effort, and pride in the university clearly set them apart. What a joy it has been to watch Evan Turner proudly represent Ohio State with style, class, and intensity on and off the court. He has surely earned the many accolades that have and will come his way from within and beyond the university.
#3 Mar 30, 2010
1 more year!!!!!!!!!!
#4 Mar 30, 2010
Please come back,Please come back,Please come back,
#5 Mar 30, 2010
jds: John Wall also averages 4+ turnovers a game while having less of the offense go through him than Turner does. What makes him a great player when Turner is not?
#6 Mar 30, 2010
Think how UNREAL ET would be if he had Cousins and Patterson in the paint....Wall is very very good but ET is better.......
Since: Oct 09
#7 Mar 30, 2010
Would be great if the young man came back for another year, but highly unlikely. Whatever decision he makes I wish him the best. GO!!! BUCKS!!!!!
Since: Oct 09
#8 Mar 30, 2010
Sorry Coach jds... Turner is GREAT! And his jersey will be up there one day.
#9 Mar 30, 2010
When you push the ball and play only six (max seven) players you're going to have turnovers. Also, most coaches gameplan for turner by using two or three players taking that in consideration his stats are amazing. To not hang the jersey that's just player hating.
#10 Mar 30, 2010
I'd recommend Basketball 101. That will help you understand the fundamentals of basketball better. Highly recommended.
#11 Mar 30, 2010
Sorry JIm I meant to judge Jds and clicked on the wrong comment.

#12 Mar 30, 2010
Mr Turner has and hopefully will continue to be a class act basketball player plus a top Ohio State Buckeye/student. The disappointment on his face as his teammate offered to help him up after the Tennessee game was over continues to be reflected in my mind. The incoming freshman team coupled with Mr Turner and the rest of the team returning would result in another big ten championship team. Mr Matta would be coaching into the final four as well! Either way congratulations to the basketball team on a GREAT season!!
#13 Mar 30, 2010
Jim Jackson is still my favorite basketball Buckeye but Evan is a close second. But without doubt, I can't remember a team I like more than this one. All seem like good kids, play well together and appears like they like each other. A group that is easy to attach to.
#14 Mar 30, 2010
It was an Honor watching Evan Turner grow from his Freshman to Junior year. He is a perfect example that if you stay in college longer than 1 year, your game improves tremendously. His jersey WILL be hanging from the rafters. Thats not even open for discussion.
As for the turnovers, the kid played damned near 40 minutes every game. John wall averaged 28 minutes & was averaging 3-4 turnovers a game. Add 12 more minutes & maybe 1-2 turnovers & he's in the same boat. Remember people, the longer your on the court, the more susceptible you are to turn the ball over. Especially when you handle the ball 70% of the time.
Good Luck Evan, I'm gonna miss you BIG time. Thanks..!!
#15 Mar 30, 2010
Evan, please don't go!! One of the most important things you can do in life is "walk the talk" and teach others (like my son) the importance of earning a degree. I like to call it..."Plan B". No matter how great an athlete you are, you have to have a "Plan B". Congratulations on all your success, and especially coming back from that awful injury! You are amazing to watch.:)
#16 Mar 30, 2010
As many minutes as he plays, and as often as he touches the ball...do the math.
#17 Mar 30, 2010
Decision time..milllions right away, or the Greatest Buckeye Roundballer of All-Time?
Either way, ET is a great representative of The Ohio State University!

In defense of E.T.'s turnovers, I can't recall a season or an era when the referees allowed such aggressive defense of the point guard. They allow shoving, bumping, reaching in, and grabbing the arms all the way up the floor. About the only time a foul is called is when a ball comes lose or someone is knocked to the floor. Also, I thought Matta could have changed up the offense more to avoid E.T. being a sitting duck in the Middle all too often. For all around skills, he is the best I have seen and I was in school with Lucas and Havlicek.He will get better if he plays another year as his learning curve is not flat yet.
#19 Mar 30, 2010
Evan is not a team player, as evidenced by his arrogance when his own "Team Member" offered his hand to assist ET from the floor and then was waved off by the offering. Sorry, but that linked with not shaking hands with the winners indicates a non team player, no matter how many points he can score in one game. To him it's all about Me, Me, Me. Just read his comments about wanting to be remembered. There is no mention of the team he plays for in his self centered comments. Sorry, but I can't buy his attitude and egotism.
#20 Mar 30, 2010
You're entitled to your opinion, that's one of the great things about this country. But everyone makes mistakes. Perhaps he'll realize that one day. Everyone loves a great TEAM, but let's face it, for the most part, the great individual players are looking out for themselves. Still, that doesn't change his accomplishments.

Why is there sometimes a difference between the price quoted by dealers in my city and the price listed on the website?
The prices listed on the website are the final prices inclusive of all taxes and levies throughout India. If you are paying anything more, you are being over-charged. We take a lot of effort to see that customers are not fleeced, so if you do find prices being charged higher than that listed on the website, please do let us know.
Where should I buy from?
To protect customers from duplicate products and over-charging, we encourage customers to buy ONLY from authorized resellers and dealers. This list of resellers is displayed on the dealer locator page of this website. ALWAYS insist on a proper tax invoice. This is your proof of purchase and also serves as part of your warranty card. Remember that SPG cannot honor a warranty claim if the product is purchased from an unauthorized source.
Is there a warranty on products?
As a sign of commitment to its customers, SPG provides warranty on every item it sells. The warranty for apparel is six months from date of purchase, while helmets have a one year warranty against any manufacturing defects. Please remember that the warranty specifically covers manufacturing defects only and does not include wear and tear and/or abuse. The warranty claim MUST be accompanied by the tax invoice of the product issued by an authorized reseller/dealer. You may approach the reseller or dealer for assistance or the mail the Company directly at email@example.com. Claims without valid invoices will not be entertained. Liability is limited to repair or replacement of the product. Warranty claims can be processed only at our Chennai service center. The company retains the right to reject any claim at its sole discretion.
NOTE: Items on sale / closeout are not covered under warranty.
Are there shipping charges for my purchases?
No. We offer free outward shipping for all our products.
How long does the courier take to deliver?
We ship by air-freight from Chennai, so most metros would get delivery within 5 working days. We will intimate you by email the AWB or Tracking number once our logistics provider generates it.
What is your shipping and delivery policy?
For International buyers, orders are shipped and delivered through registered international courier companies and/or International speed post only. For domestic buyers, orders are shipped through our contracted logistics provider who utilizes registered domestic courier companies and /or speed post only. Orders are shipped within 2 working days of payment receipt, if the goods are in stock. If the product is on back order, then it will be shipped within two working days after we receive it in our warehouse. Spartan ProGear Co., is not liable for any delay in delivery by the courier company / postal authorities and only guarantees to hand over the consignment to the courier company or postal authorities within two working days from the date of the order and payment. Delivery of all orders will be to the address of the buyer as per the order. SPG is in no way responsible for any damage to the order while in transit to the buyer.
My order was received in a damaged condition. What should I do?
SPG undertakes to hand over the order to the courier and its liability ends there. However, since we utilise the services of a contracted logistics provider, the items are insured and damages can be claimed PROVIDED
1. The receiver inspects the package personally and if finding it in a damaged condition asks the courier company to return to us.
2. Does NOT sign the courier's POD. If you suspect that your order has been damaged by the couriers mishandling, simply refuse to accept the package and ask the courier to return to us. Immediately mail us informing the same, with details of the couriers name and mobile number. Since the package is still with the courier company, we can now effectively track the package and claim damages and replace your order with a new one as soon as possible. Remember it is better to refuse a parcel that you suspect has been damaged rather than be stuck with a broken or damaged item.
Is it cheaper to buy from the company directly rather than from the reseller/dealer?
No. We follow a uniform MRP throughout the country. The retail prices are the same for all products throughout India.
Can I exchange/return products for re-sizing?
Yes. You may send the purchased items back for exchange of size. The items will be exchanged PROVIDED
1. The product is returned unused.
2. The product is accompanied by the original invoice, packing, labels, etc.,
3. The product is received by us in re-saleable condition, so please use a proper courier service.
Products not received in the above condition will not be exchanged. We will ship the item for exchange to you (within India) the second time at no additional cost to you.
NOTE: Items on sale / closeout cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances.
I have changed my mind. Can I get a refund?
SPG does not have any refund policy, however if the product received by the customer is defective or damaged, we will repair or replace the product, after inspecting and validating the claim.
I have some other questions. Who do I contact?
Mail our Help Desk -email@example.com with ANY queries that you may have. Or call our Helpline - 044-24530195/ 24530575.

Norwegian Spirit - Bahamas: Norwegian Spirit Cruise Review by mysweetmom
Overall Member Rating
Norwegian Spirit - Bahamas
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: New York (Manhattan)
EMBARKATION: We took a car service in from NJ and arrived at the pier around 11:30. Waited in the Latitudes waiting area until about 12:00 and were on the ship by 12:15. Very easy process. We went up to Raffles to get some lunch. Since we were among the first to get on the ship, there were no lines. Lunch was good. Although we couldn't get into the rooms until 2:00, we did sneak in and drop off our carry ons (SHH!) We then headed to the Bier Garten and purchased a soda card for our teens. I think $50 is a bit steep but we got them anyway.
SHIP: The Spirit is a beautiful ship. There Asian decor is spectacular and gives a bit of elegance to the ship. The pool area does tend to get crowded, but we had no More problem getting a chair one deck up on the sun deck. I prefer this anyway, since it is so crowded down by the pool. Pool is a nice size, nothing great but it does the job when you need to get cooled off.
EXCURSION: We went to Universal Studios in Florida. It was a bit rushed but we had a blast. In the Bahamas we went to the British Colonial Hilton and bought a day pass for $15/pp. This was well worth it. The hotel is close to the ship and we got to use their pool facilities and the beach. It was a great day. Nassau isn't a great area and I really didn't want to walk around, besides, it was extremely HOT! ROOMS: We had two connecting balcony cabins on the 11th deck. These rooms were fine. I've been on 8 cruises and know what to expect out of cabins on a cruise ship. They were smaller than other balcony cabins I've had, but I never felt too cramped. The connecting rooms were great to have. The balcony itself is on the small size, but there was room for a small table and two chairs. I didn't find the beds hard at all but my room steward said he could bring something if we needed to make it softer. The room steward's name was Damien and he was pleasant enough. Didnt' speak too much, but would engage in conversation if I started.
SERVICE: This was one of the best staffs. Pretty much everyone was always smiling and saying good morning. I accidentally spilled some half/half (opened the small container and...poof, all over the floor - Ooops!) While I was cleaning it up one of the workers ran over to me and took over. Told me not to worry about it. I said I had made the mess, it was alright. He insisted that I not worry myself, so I went and sat down. Servers in Raffles were very nice and the place always seemed clean. They are big on hand sanitizing. So you'll get squirted with the stuff.
ENTERTAINMENT: Nothing great but nothing horrible. The juggling/comedian team of Shark Bait were great. Don't miss that show. On the first night there was a hypnotist that was great. My BF volunteered to be hypnotized and it was hilarious. The casino was always packed. I'm not a big gambler, but I did win $125 on the 5 cents slots...lol. The Monopoly game near the back. It was fun. Two days there was jewelry making in Galaxy of the Stars - it was free so I went. Made a nice pear of earrings and a nice bracelet. DINING: I found the food to be above my expectations. I am not a big eater and tend to be picky, but to my surprise, the food was very good. I did hear some people complain. One woman actually said she couldn't find ANYTHING edible on the whole ship. I find that hard to believe. There are so many choices of where to eat. The Blue Lagoon serves burgers, hot dogs, wings, chips, etc. and there are always sandwiches in Raffles. I find it impossible that people say the food wasn't good. Out of Windows and Garden Restaurants, Windows is the bigger of the two. We went there two nights. I had the rack of Lamb one night and the Lobster tail and Beef Wellington the next. The beef wellington was one of the best things I have ever eaten - Delicious!!! The lobster was a bit chewy. The deserts in the restaurants are to die for. When we went to Gardens, I had the Veal Scallopini - Wow, that was sooooo rich. Delicious but could only eat half. We went to Cagney's steak house one night. Although the food was very good, I didn't find it that much better than the food in the other restaurants. We booked a late seating, 8:30, so we had no trouble getting a table and only paid $10/pp - Great deal!. Ate breakfast every morning at the buffet - typical buffet breakfast. The iced tea is not sweetened. Just add sugar and lemon and it tastes good - don't make a big deal about this, as some others did. It was quite annoying.
DISEMBARKATION: The ship arrived in New York about 9:00 - We had to wait until about 10:30 to get off the ship and we were the 2nd color called. I think next time I may do the express disembarkation.
SUMMARY: I loved this cruise. I heard some people complaining about everything so I guess to each his own. Go with an open mind, don't expect everything to be perfect, and just enjoy your vacation. Less

I'm so not the guy to ask, I'm sorry. I've never had sat, and I really don't know what's going on over there for wire mgmt, not that it matters. Locate the OTA feed, use a splitter, run secondary OTA feed? I'm just blurting out loud, please don't mind me. Maybe you're saying you don't know which feed is the OTA feed, but can't you trace it back from the TV, visually or otherwise? I should already have shut up, and I expect to be less available on these boards for the next week or so (not that it matters).
Maybe use a cable tester? I'd get feedback from those with more experience with your situation before spending on anything. My related experience is limited to one single experience with a multimeter, I think I was testing a passive xover during a speaker repair, and nothing else, never once on a car, etc.

The programming info isn't available like a "guide" as it of course would be with sat/cable. It shows only on the tuned channel, and IIRC, only for the present half hour block, and the next. A trait this is unique to this device out of my few sources is the option for instant subtitling when hitting mute (if subtitle info is available from the source to begin with).

Anyone have a house for rent in the area of Tempe, Chandler or Gilbert???
Anyone have a house for rent in the area of Tempe, Chandler or Gilbert???
Corey you didn't waste any time on this one!! :P
JJ - Corey is a good guy and should be able to help you find a rental.
Yeah, use a realtor.. Just from experiance.
"Aint no goverment cheese on this here plate"
4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms
Available 3/1/09
Mark--"Sanger Pete"
(559) 917-1785
There tons of them on there.
I need to find something kind of temporary, a year at the best. Don't want to make the rental permanent, just need to wait for our house to sell in Kentucky. I appreciate the help, and have no clue what areas are descent.
Keep em coming.
Thanks so much,
What city are you going to be working in? I love my 7.1 mile drive to work. Any thing I need is 2 miles away, or less. Other than Marvin at www.stickystuffsale.com I don't drive around much. Oh lakes are 45 and 60 minutes away.
Stay as close to work as you can get, with out having to look at the chit hole on your days off. I lived in Snottsdale for 2 years, they can keep that place. Most of the homes in Tempe are older, it's land locked and they have no room to grow. Plenty of new or newer homes in Gilbert/Chandler to rent. Stay away from any house that has APS, high electric rates. Mesa will nail you with trash and water, no land tax. Johnson ranch the same. $100.00 a month for water 1 gallon or your limmit of 3,000 gallons, it's all 100 bucks out there. Stay away from Maricopa, yes it's cheap. But it the Valleys biggest Cul-Da-Sac, one way in and one way out. When there is a little fender bender it can back up for miles and hours. The foothills are good but high rent as well.
pic a spot.
watch the 101 and 202 they loop around and hit most of the city's. Some one could say the 101 and Mcdowell, well which city is it? Or 202 and Val vista or 202 and power. Yea they sure made it a cluster when the did that.
All i know is....Chandler has a glorious Skate park, and its free!
Just my .02

While I was tackling the laundry this afternoon, Emily did some of her own. Somehow her laundry was a lot more fun than mine! Special thanks to Elise of Inspiration Surrounds… Creativity Abounds for reminding me of this fabulous activity. When I was a little girl, our family gave my cousin a play laundry set much like this one, and she absolutely loved it! Emily also enjoyed hers very much!
She was so proud of herself, and she keeps going outside to see if her laundry has dried yet!

There are several ways to throw a cast net… this is one that I prefer.
World Record 178lb Tarpon caught by 15-year-old Chasten Whitfield
IGFA Certified my 178 lb tarpon…but…it won't go on the books as a World Record because I didn't buy a kill tag & weigh it on a scale. I wouldn't do that. It was a rainy & cloudy day, a day I will never forget – the most amazing fight with the most amazing fish! We did all the measurements and calculations. Fishing with Nick DiMare & Seth Walter I set out to beat a 129lb tarpon to beat the current world record title, which I sure did!. Although I chose not kill a fish for a "title", I still caught a 178lb fish – a world record in my world.

These children have disabilities from Autism to Down Syndrome…what do they have in common? The need to be with people and a desire to enjoy what the world has to offer. THANK YOU to all our Old Salt members and sponsors that are making this happen today for these deserving kids!!!


text: On the way home from work yesterday the Florida heat finally got the ol' sucker, and the passenger head gasket seems to have totally given out. It was shooting a nice stream of coolant/oil out of the side, and the funk that came out of my radiator is thick and sebaceous. I'm definitely saavy and able enough to do a head gasket job on the car, but I'm just not willing to get that dirty and waste my whole weekend on it. A shop quoted me $600 for a gasket job, is that what I should expect? Think it's worth letting the car take the final ride to the you-pull-it and just getting something else? :(
