After watching the last few weeks Houston throwing away games.. and who can blame him... they are in a race and winning for Reggie Bush..
Why Not Us ?
bush wil drown behind that o line....
You, Never? Did the Kenosha Kid?
If I was Bush I'd pull an Eli and refuse to play for them. Can you imagine, going from USC to the pros and taking a DOWNGRADE at o-line?
I was thinking about the draft last night. The teams with the worst records right now are: Houston (1-11), GB (2-10), NYJ (2-10), and SF (2-10). Two of those teams (GB & SF) just drafted QBs last year. Houston will take Reggie Bush most likely, and NYJ need a QB because, IMO, Pennington is done. That means that either Matt Leinart or Vince Young will be in NY, and the other falls to the fifth pick in the draft. UNLESS, someone wants to trade their draft pick because anyone that they would take isn't worth that high of a pick. An interesting scenario, isn't it?
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
This is the only possible reason that the open-mouthed head coach is being allowed to finish the season.
Bush is the obvious 1st pick, but the Texans needs go much, much deeper than RB, plus Dom Davis is arguably the best player on offense. They should trade down and get as much help as possible. I'm pretty confident that if the GM is retained, he'll screw it up one way or the other.
No way. I know Dominick Davis is good, and what you suggest makes sense on some level. But there's no way in hell you pass on a once in a lifetime difference maker like Reggie Bush. If the Texans trade that pick, they deserve to be laughed out of the league.
Obviously Bush would make the Texans a much better team, and I'd be fine with them taking him. My point is football players more than any other sport rely on their teammates to be successful. The more quality teammates you have, the easier you're job becomes. Bush would have a few of them in Houston, but not very many.
I'm talking about a trade similar to Ricky Williams, or what Dallas did with Herschel Walker. The Cowboys used that trade to build a complete team by acquiring players at several positions. Or even a trade like the Chargers pulled of with Vick, getting an under the radar player with star potential (LT) and additional picks. I just don't think the current GM can pull it off, in which case they should probably take Bush and go from there. Plus Bush would bring name value and add some respectability to the team.
I hope Houston wins sometime this season, like against SF. I don't want Bush in our division.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Imagine rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III coming to face the 49ers today with an electrified St. Louis Rams offense.
Instead, here is the Rams' reality: They're bringing a still-suspect Sam Bradford, a 28th-ranked offense and a last-place record (3-5).
Rather than select Griffin with the No. 2 overall pick, the Rams preferred a war chest of other draft picks and let the Washington Redskins move up to select "RGIII."
Jeff Fisher earned his first win as Rams coach by defeating the Redskins on Sept. 16. After back-to-back home wins over division rivals Arizona and Seattle, the Rams held a 3-2 mark and were one game out of the NFC West lead. Then came a three-game losing streak, dropping the Rams into their familiar territory.
"One of our biggest problems is shooting ourselves in the foot, killing ourselves with mental mistakes and things that we can control," Bradford told St. Louis reporters last week.
Such issues often accompany the Rams' visits to Candlestick Park, where they've lost in their past four trips and eight of their last 10. Both the Rams and first-place 49ers (6-2) are coming off byes.
"We have a lot of respect for the Rams," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "We had two tough ballgames with them last year. You see a very tough, aggressive, hard-hitting team. Really, really good everywhere you look."
Really good? Everywhere?
Fisher is trying to turn around that franchise by, somewhat, following the 49ers' path.
Committed to a quarterback who was a No. 1 overall draft pick, the Rams are aided in large part by a two-back rushing attack (Steven Jackson, Daryl Richardson) with an unheralded receiving corps. Defensively, the Rams have a talented front, and they've added a well-known cornerback through free agency in Cortland Finnegan.
The 49ers' blueprint: Turn Alex Smith into a winner, run Frank Gore with occasional relief from Kendall Hunter, and support a staunch defensive front with a secondary that includes last season's free-agent additions of cornerback Carlos Rogers and safety Donte Whitner.
Fisher particularly marveled at the 49ers' league-leading rushing attack and how everyone is contributing to it, including the blocks of fullbacks, tight ends and receivers.
"I can't remember having to prepare for an offense that was so well coached and so diversified in the run game and so talented," Fisher said. "Add the multiplicity in passing game and (Alex Smith's) decision making ability, it's no surprise to me they were able to accomplish what they did last year and what's ahead of them this year."
Healthier than last season, the Rams continues to sputter, especially on the road (0-3) and on offense as they rank 28th in scoring (17.1 points per game) and yards (316.5 per game). Bradford hasn't been helped by the offensive line's constant shuffling, not to mention the annual change in systems.
Vic Fangio, the 49ers defensive coordinator, called Bradford a "pretty polished quarterback" who can throw deep but also run with deceiving speed. An ankle injury kept Bradford from facing the 49ers last season in Fangio's first season.
"Although he's been hurt and been through a couple systems there, he's doing well for where he's at in his development," Fangio said.
Awaiting Bradford & Co. is a 49ers defense that not only leads the league in fewest points allowed but also is especially dominant at home, particularly against division foes.
The Rams' long-shot chances against the 49ers might be helped by the return of leading receiver Danny Amendola. Their three-game losing streak has coincided with Amendola's absence because of a separated collarbone.
Also on a three-game losing streak: the Redskins and their rookie quarterback, Griffin. In return for the No. 2 overall pick, the Rams received the Redskins' first-round draft picks in 2012 (traded to Dallas), '13 and '14, along with a 2012 second-round choice they used on cornerback Janoris Jenkins, who's struggled.
Asked his impression of that trade, Harbaugh initially declined to comment, then stated: "That seems like it was a very good deal for both teams."
Time will tell. The Rams are counting on it to become a perennial contender, a status now enjoyed by the 49ers.

TORONTO — I sit in the coffee shop, and when my name is announced in a heavy Hebrew accent, I go to get my coffee.
I'm waiting for three ladies, and the Hebrew tone is appropriate, as we're going to talk about Israeli culture.
The play He Walked Through the Fields, written by Moshe Shamir will be on stage this month at the Al Green Theatre at the Miles Nadal JCC in downtown Toronto.
I'm meeting with Galya Sarner, director of the Israeli Project at the Schwartz/Reisman Centre, Yael Shamir Feingold, the play's director, and Tami Berman the producer.
Hamifgash Theatre is known as the only Hebrew speaking theatre in Toronto. Is there a real need for such an institution?
Sarner: The theatre started four years ago, aiming to meet some of the Israeli community's cultural needs. After two years, we realized that we could bring together other communities to enjoy the Israeli culture, to learn about Israel's history and its unique needs.
It also helps us to expose other pleasant sides of our homeland.
By adding English subtitle translation, we create the opportunity to open up the performances to a wider audience.
The theatre was established by a group of volunteers, with the support of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and the Schwartz/Reisman Centre in early 2008. The Mifgash has enjoyed considerable success, having performed all its productions to sold out audiences and rave reviews.
What is He Walked Through the Fields, about?
Sarner: This play reflects, in many ways, the conflict that Israelis are facing, wherever there are. It tells the story of a young man who, upon returning to his kibbutz from his studies, falls in love with a young Holocaust survivor. He soon finds himself torn between remaining on the kibbutz with his family and his love and going off to fight for the new state.
The play paints a vivid and dramatic picture of the new generation of native Israelis prior to the founding of the state.
Rumour has it that there's a personal side to the production of this play.
Sarner: This year's production has a special meaning for our theatre group, as our resident director is also the author's daughter. This year would have been the anniversary of Mr. Shamir's 90th birthday.
Can the Mifgash Theatre create a bridge between the Jewish Canadian community and the Israeli community?
Berman: Mifgash offers all Jews in the Greater Toronto Area an opportunity to meet and express their diversity on a common ground of acceptance and unity.
Through experiences working specifically with the Israeli Canadian community, they have learned to appreciate the need and desire for special Israeli cultural and community events. The need to express identity, language and culture is not unique only to the Israeli community, but to other communities as well. By creating a theatre for all these diverse backgrounds to give their experience a cultural and artistic voice, they can take important steps toward creating a more unified Jewish community where all backgrounds are embraced.
Would you also welcome non-Israelis to join the cast?
Feingold: Everyone who wants to be an actor is welcome to join us. Of course, it's voluntary.
Would you consider producing plays with Jewish-Israeli orientation in English as well?
Sarner: The sky is the limit… hopefully we will be able to expand our theatre in the near future, and run plays in English as well.
Talking about Israeli culture feels like jumping to a beloved home for a brief visit. As the waiter asks us in Hebrew if he can clean our table, we all smile and say our goodbyes.
He Walked Through the Fields runs May 20 to 24, in Hebrew with English surtitles, at the Al Green Theatre, Miles Nadal JCC.

|Dessert-- Chinotto Cake!
UPDATE FOR CANADIANS: San Pelligrino Chinotto is very hard to find in Canada recently. I have written to the company to find out more details. In eastern Canada there is a brand called Brio, which I understand is a little sweeter. I will update for Canadians as soon as possible (Oct. 3, 2015).
It is still available in the US and Australia, as far as I can tell. amazon.com carries it.
I was not able to get off island for special ingredients, so I chose the recipes according to what I had in my pantry, garden, refrigerator and freezer.
Orange-Scented Olive, Parsley & Sundried Tomato Tapenade (made with our homegrown Italian parsley) and White Bean "Cheese" (from The Blooming Platter Cookbook)
(An anecdote: One of the few places in Courtenay, BC, the town where we shop, where you can get Chinotto, is a pizza place where we occasionally get a vegan pizza with a whole wheat crust if we're in a hurry. Once, I asked the teenage counter clerk for a Chinotto along with our order and he asked, with a bit of a grimace,"Are you sure you want that?")
Now, I'm not advocating drinking this as a regular habit! It's still a sweet carbonated drink (no artificial flavors, high-fructose corn syrup or phosphates in it, though-- at least in the brand I buy [see photo below])! But I enjoy it once in a while as treat, and every time I have it I think, there has to be an interesting way to use it in a recipe. There are Chinotto cocktails on the internet (like this one), but I'm not much of a drinker, so...
|This is the brand I use, but you can find others, such as Lurisia
Betsy's cake is very rich, and I wanted to cut the fat back a bit, so the cake part of his recipe is actually a riff on my Mudpie Cake. Mudpie cake is a deeply chocolate cake. This cake does have cocoa powder in it, as does the frosting, but only a bit. To me, it doesn't taste like chocolate. The flavor is deep and mysterious-- hard to explain-- and we love it! So, the cake recipe is essentially mine, with inspiration from Betsy, but the frosting is her recipe EXCEPT that I substituted Chinotto for the cola.
I hope that you can find some Chinotto, either online or in a deli or Italian grocery store. In the town where we shop (Courtenay, BC) we can find it at one pizza place (Panago's) and at London Drugs, which is a Canadian chain store. If you do get your hands on some, I hope you will try this cake and let me know your verdict. (UPDATE: It's no longer available at London Drugs.)

Congratulations on your anniversary Bryanna and here's to MANY more :). I love the look of your anniversary spread! Just don't tell Steve your husband was so spoiled...he got a couple of marinated chicken burgers with lots of salad and avocado and some homemade icecream and mousse. Your amazing spread makes ours look a bit lame ;). I don't believe it... we can get Chinotto here! It's officially ON for that gorgeous cake :). We have the same "On Island" problem that you do except it is probably more expensive for us to go "Off Island" than it is for you ;).

I am beyond honored to have inspired your anniversary dinner, Bry! It gives me chills and leaves me speechless--which rarely happens!--to think I got to participate in your celebration, albeit in spirit and from very far away. Here's to 23 more, and continued inspiration and long-distance friendship in the meantime!

HAYWARD — A 78-year-old man who left for the pharmacy Saturday evening and never made it to the store was found safe in Fremont Sunday afternoon, police said.
Donald Oryall was found in the neighboring city about 4 p.m., Hayward police Sgt Mark Ormsby said. Oryall has since returned home to his family, although authorities recommended he be taken to the hospital to be examined since he stayed in his car overnight.
Oryall left his home near Huntwood Avenue and Tennyson Road about 9:30 p.m. to pick up a prescription for his wife at the CVS pharmacy at 243 West Jackson St., Ormsby said. The man never returned home, and was later found to have never made it to the pharmacy.
Relatives told police that Oryall was frail and had gotten lost while driving in the past. Based on that information, and below freezing temperatures overnight, Hayward police issued a statewide alert to all state law enforcement agencies and various media outlets to help find the missing man, Ormsby said.
The alert led to a tip about Oryall's whereabouts.

Week of Kitchen Renovations: Spice Rack
The spice rack that we have serves both function and fashion. Most people who walk in notice it immediately and compliment it. I love that our spices are always at an arm's reach and that the shelf and spices provide a splash of color in the kitchen. Sometimes it does take a few guesses to find the correct spice, but it's a fun little game to see who can find the cinnamon first. I'm getting pretty good at it, but still struggle finding the cayenne vs paprika vs chili powder vs smoked paprika. It's a good thing I wrote on the bottom of the spice jars to indicate which spice is in the jar!
Hubby and I actually got this idea from our old kitchen, as you can see in some of the before pics, there was a white strip of wood on the laminate backsplash. Logistically this is needed because behind that laminate, there is subway tiling. So the shelf is placed where the subway tiling meets the plaster walls. If you didn't have the shelf, it would look bizarre. Here is a side shot of the shelf to show you what I'm talking about.
The white strip of wood was too small to be anything useful, so we knew that with the kitchen renovation, we wanted to install a shelf that could hold things. We made this shelf one afternoon. I didn't take and pictures during the process, but hopefully I can fully describe how we did it.
First we headed to the home improvement store and bought some trim pieces. The first piece is just a 1.5″ strip of pine. The second is a piece of trim. It has and half round shape to it's cross section. I drew a fun little picture to better show what the wood looked like.
The first thing I did was prime the wood and paint the first coat of black paint. Then I sanded the wood down prior to installing the shelf. Hubby pre drilled holes into the flat piece of wood about every 10 inches. Then he screwed that piece of wood onto the wall using 2″ screws. So at that point, we had a flat shelf with visible screw heads showing.
Next we attached the trim piece by holding it such that the flat part of the trim was flush with the flat wood already attached to the wall. This increased the depth of the shelf. Hubby used finishing nails to attach the trim portion of the shelf to the flat part.
Next, we sanded the entire shelf on the top just to ensure that the seam between the flat wood and the trim was not obvious. Lastly, I added another coat of black paint to the entire shelf. At the time, we didn't have a backsplash and we hadn't painted the walls, so I could be a bit sloppy with my painting. You can see the seam in this picture because there was some plaster work done after the final paint coat went on.
Now that the shelving was installed, I had to fill the spice jars. I ordered 60 spice jars from Pottery Barn. They weren't the cheapest spice jars, but they fit perfectly since they have a 2×2″ footprint. I used a Sharpie pen to write on the bottom of each jar prior to filling it. I then used a small spice funnel to fill the spice jars with a variety of spices. Over by the sink, I filled the spice jars with various sprinkles.
I wanted to show off the fun red dual timer that Hubby's mom got for me for Christmas 2008. I love it!
I hope these instructions make sense, but if you have questions, feel free to email me with questions and I can try to clarify things.
Check out my Week of Kitchen Renovations here.

I LOVE those spice jars! And the storage for it. I wonder if we could do something like that in our kitchen….
Before I read the sprinkles comment, I was uber eager to find out what spices you were rocking over the sink! Great idea 🙂
Love the idea! What a great use of the space. Thank you for sharing.
your spices were the first thing I noticed when you started showing pics. I love it! I sort mine in alphabetical order, so it's a little easier for me to find them.
I wanted to alphabetize, but Hubby isn't the most organized person so I'm not sure how long they would stay organized since he does most of the cooking in the house.
What a great idea! Yesterday when I was looking at the pictures I thought it was tile. (thats the blonde in me) =)
I love it! That is such a neat idea.
I LOVE it! I'm intending to "revamp" my kitchen this spring and add a back splash but wasn't certain what other changes I might want to add. I'm going to show this to my honey and keep this in mind. Thanks!
Oh, and Happy New Year!
Your renovation posts have me dreaming of updating our kitchen. I absolutely LOVE the backsplash and shelf!
This is a fabulous idea. I love how you color coordinated the different spices across the shelf. It's very practical and gives your kitchen a very stylish presentation.
Natalie @ gluten a go go
I love that idea! I looks so great with all of the different colors of the spices and sprinkles. And talk about handy, they are so easy to reach!
Love your kitchen posts…the spice & sprinkles jars are what stands out to me..aside from the backsplash. You have such a cutesy kitchen!!!
Oh my! I love love love love it!!! I just sent and IM to my boyfriend that said "I want to do this in our kitchen"…haha.
That is a gorgeous display of spices… I would love to do something like that!
I love that idea! The spices add such good color to your kitchen (and extra space, i would guess!).
Thank you ahead of time for building this in my kitchen when I get my own place.
From all your renovation posts…the spice jars are my favorite. I can't believe there are 60! I wish I could figure out some place to do that!
I love your spice display! It must be so convenient to have everything right there whenever you need it. AND it looks fabulous in the room!
Spice Rack
I'm amazed on the way you created your own spice rack. It really complements your kitchen design, much more it helps in organizing various spices.

Webjet, Zodiac take to the cloud
Microsoft and Google continue to battle it out for the hearts and minds of corporate clients when it comes to applications hosted in the cloud.
Two global businesses have recently moved their email and productivity tools online, each singing the praises of one internet giant over the other.
Global pool care and marine equipment manufacturer, Zodiac, which employs about 250 people in Australia, joined real estate agency network Ray White, Flight Centre and Fairfax Media, publisher of this site, in choosing Google Apps.
Already a big Microsoft shop, Australian online travel company Webjet adopted Microsoft Office 365 and the company's development platform Azure. It joins Origin, Mr Rental, Qantas and Caltex in making the switch to Office in the cloud.
Earlier this year a Telsyte survey of 330 chief information officers showed Google Apps was the second most popular email application in Australia, behind Microsoft Exchange and ahead of Novell GroupWise and IBM Lotus Notes.
Telsyte analyst Rodney Gedda said Google leveraged the strong Gmail brand - boasting 450 million accounts - to create a productivity suite of calendar, documents, apps, and a social platform available via a single Google account.
Zodiac used it to cleanse its five-year-old IT systems. The first step was aligning its call centre voice-over-IP system, upgraded in 2010, with Google Apps to allow mobile sales staff, service technicians, and call-centre workers, to access office applications remotely, according to APAC IT manager John Khoury.
The project was part of a strategy to connect globally dispersed staff via message, talk, video, and collaboration tools. It replaced Lotus Notes and Microsoft Office.
Khoury uses Google Hangouts to meet his American and European counterparts in a weekly video conference. Staff use Google Drive to store documents, allowing Khoury to switch off the company's file storage servers. Microsoft Office is still used by some staff.
The company also uses Google Plus and its 'circles' features to group staff and share documents worldwide. It will soon extend access to its top 100 customers so that critical technical updates and product releases can be shared more efficiently.
Khoury said Zodiac had a ''love affair'' with Google that started with Gmail and calendar.
"I think the thing that really appeals to us is the subscription-based service pay-as-you-go with the Google Apps," said Khoury.
"You don't have to buy any software, it's multi-platform available for the smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer, from anywhere in the world with an internet connection."
Webjet on the other hand, chose to move its email from the hosted Outlook 2010 application to Office 365.
According to head of solutions delivery Graham Anderson moving to the cloud freed the support staff to focus on more valuable activities, and made email available globally, 24/7 - an important requirement for a website that books travel around the world.
It also adopted Lync to increase dialogue and reduce the number of emails. The next step will be to use new collaboration features in the latest online versions of Word and Excel to collectively work on documents and processes.
Webjet researched other platforms but always planned to use Microsoft technology, which was at the heart of the company's processes from inception. The priority has always been to bend the technology to work within efficient processes and common user experience - not the other way around, Anderson said.
This notion has also extended the company's development framework to the Azure platform, which hosts the Webjet Cloud Services that power its mobile and Windows 8 applications. The company's website will soon be powered from the Azure cloud - eventually user experience to be uniform across devices.
"It does give us the benefit to start to react or lead very quickly [when] we want to push new ideas on that framework," Anderson said.
Telsyte's Gedda said Google has successfully targeted smaller companies without legacy applications, who liked using a single sign-on to access a wide range of products that purely exist in the cloud.
Microsoft will use Office 365 to satisfy the growing appetite for cloud (and hybrid cloud) services, while also serving its traditional base of on-premise software users. It's fighting aggressively for its future.
"Microsoft has an established install base of Office products, corporate email, and Hotmail and Outlook. Microsoft can pull those things together and go head-to-head with Google Apps," Gedda said. "It will win some and lose some but it's not going to sit on the sideline."
However, Gedda said Microsoft had failed to properly explain how consumers and businesses could engage with its full range of productivity applications. In Microsoft's eyes, a Hotmail account and an Exchange user had traditionally been two different entities, he said.
A recent decision to re-brand Hotmail as Outlook.com bridged that gap, and along with the Office 365 suite, demonstrated that Microsoft is ready to play the cloud game, he added.

Fund Firm at Center of Big Game Hunt
Mutual-fund firm Southeastern Asset Management Inc.'s chairman and chief executive likes to unwind by hunting small game.
Now, the Memphis, Tenn., mutual-fund company led by O. Mason Hawkins is targeting much larger prey: Dell Inc.
Rival bids for the computer maker that emerged over the weekend from activist investor Carl Icahn and private-equity firm Blackstone Group BX 0.33% LP were fueled by Southeastern, which blasted the original takeover offer by Michael Dell three days after it was made in February.
Southeastern is the largest outside shareholder in Dell, with an 8.4% stake. Despite Monday's 2.6% price rise, the company's stock still is valued at about 14% less than what Southeastern paid.
A takeover brawl for Dell could give Southeastern the big score it has needed lately. While the firm has an excellent long-term record, the largest of its four mutual funds has trailed the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index by almost half a percentage point annually over the past five years, mainly because of its 51% loss in 2008.
The firm specializes in value investing, swooping in when a company is undervalued and waiting for a rebound. Southeastern typically holds only a few dozen stocks at a time and hangs on for four to seven years, while the average U.S. stock fund sells after an average of 15 months.
Southeastern, with roughly $35 billion in assets, is publicity-averse but doesn't shy away from throwing its weight around. Since 2000, the firm has made 697 securities filings disclosing that it held at least 5% of a specific company's voting stock.
That number of filings ranks 58th among all asset managers, according to an analysis by The Wall Street Journal, outranking many larger firms and even Mr. Icahn.
Mr. Icahn's offer for Dell includes buying shares for $15 apiece—a 9.9% premium over the $13.65-a-share bid by Mr. Dell and private-equity firm Silver Lake Partners. A Blackstone-led group offered at least $14.25 a share for Dell. A spokesman for Dell declined to comment.

Southeastern said Monday that it is "pleased that the alternative proposals…are structured to give shareholders the opportunity to continue to participate" in Dell's "future prospects, while also providing a higher cash component for shareholders who choose to exit their investment."
G. Staley Cates, Southeastern's president and chief investment officer, said before the two counteroffers that the mutual-fund firm gets aggressive only when it has to solve "a failure it has made in assessing management."
That leaves Southeastern "no choice other than trying to fix the situation if the odds of success are decent," Mr. Cates said. Still, "you generally won't see us telling management how to do their jobs. You have to know your limits."
The 65-year-old Mr. Hawkins, who started Southeastern in 1975, is slightly built, white-haired and courtly, said people who know him well. He grew up in Thomasville, Ga., where his parents owned a timber plantation.
Mr. Cates, 48, is roughly 6 inches taller, folksy and sometimes free with profanities, according to those who know him. His dad started Mid-America Apartment Communities Inc., based in Memphis and one of the Southeast region's largest publicly traded real-estate companies.
Since 2008, Southeastern has agitated for changes at nine U.S. companies, including energy firms Pioneer Natural Resources Co. and Chesapeake Energy Corp. , and department-store chain Dillard's Inc.
Pioneer CEO Scott Sheffield said he drove to Memphis from Irving, Texas, to meet Messrs. Hawkins and Cates after Southeastern bought a stake in Pioneer in 1998. They got along for a decade, but Southeastern went public with demands for a shake-up after Pioneer's shares fell in 2008.
Mr. Sheffield didn't agree with Southeastern's strategy, but Pioneer agreed to add three new directors to its board. They stayed even after Southeastern sold its stake in 2010 for more than four times the initial price.
"They were great shareholders," Mr. Sheffield said. "All except that one year."
R. Brad Martin, former chief executive of Saks Inc., joined the Dillard's board when Southeastern was pushing the retailer for deeper cuts in unproductive stores and inventory. "Having a very strong reminder of one or two things that are important can be helpful," he said. "When that comes from people who own 13% of the company, you listen."
The productivity push freed up capital for share buybacks, and the stock price jumped an average of 118% a year from 2009 to 2012. Dillard's declined to comment.
At Chesapeake, Southeastern was a driving force to unwind personal stakes held by co-founder Aubrey McClendon in the income produced by Chesapeake gas and oil wells. Southeastern also got three directors on Chesapeake's board, pressuring Mr. McClendon to retire, effective April 1.
A Chesapeake spokesman declined to comment. Southeastern is about $300 million in the red on its holdings of Chesapeake shares.

|Le Parisien Vinaigrette Dressing has been one of my favorites for many years!
South Beach Suggestions:
Tuesday, August 12, 2008
|Le Parisien Vinaigrette Dressing has been one of my favorites for many years!
Even though I can't get the dressing, I still enjoyed the post. Did you really serve those celebrities?ReplyDelete
Kalyn, I hopped on your blog from the Utah Hive. I am so, so very impressed with your blog. The photography is amazing, the lay-out is on the top of my list for design and presentation, it is so professional looking! The recipes look delicious to say the least. Very good job! Will be back!ReplyDelete
I can't find this online...can you list the ingredients? It sounds fabulous, and it would be wonderful to re-create it at home.ReplyDelete
no attempt at a recipe ? (for us unlucky foreigners)ReplyDelete
Hi Kalyn,
This is my 1st time here. You have a wonderful and interesting blog! Will be dropping by more often from now. =) Will definitely try out some of your wonderful recipe.
I will have to go to Costco and try this dressing. Thanks for the tip!ReplyDelete
Susan, yes it was very fun serving those famous people. They were all very nice, but Vincent price was especially charming. And Robert Redford was very short (just a little taller than me actually!)
Hot garlic, thanks you for the nice feedback. Fun finding your blog too.
Marisa and anonymous, I debated about listing ingredients in the post and decided not to because it's not really something that can be re-created at home (based on the ingredients.) But here is what's listed on the label: soybean oil, water, red & white wine vinegar, mustard seed, salt, sugar, xanthan gum, black pepper, polyglycerol esters of fatty acids, sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, citric acid, tartaric acid, spices.
Jade, thanks! Appreciate it.
Maria, you'll love it.
Oh My Gawd! You use store bought vinaigrette? I would never do that. Now I do buy jars of minced garlic, but that's different. :-)
Michael, I know it's shocking but I'm not embarrassed to admit it. (I've been using this dressing long before I really even knew how to cook, so there's no turning back now.)
I do like to make my own dressing too, but this one is still a favorite.
(And I buy the jars of minced garlic and ginger too, although I'll use the whole garlic cloves and ginger root too when it seems like it's needed.)
In my family you knew you were a "grown-up" when you got to go to lunch with my grandmother and the aunties at Le Parisien! Thanks for writing about it.ReplyDelete
Kaylyn, I hope you understood that my post was meant as a good natured tease with a touch of irony.
I can't knock store bought, or anyone else's choice, because I sometimes buy bottles of Olive Garden dressing. I don't eat there, I just get one or two bottles to go from the bar.ReplyDelete
Jenefr, that is so cute. I have a lot of fun memories of that place.
Michael, yes I did know you were kidding. I figured anyone who admits to buying pre-minced garlic couldn't be a real food snob. (Thank goodness for that. I hate food snobbery!)
Melissa, I like their dressing too! Didn't know you could buy it.
I'll bet many of us food bloggers have a favorite bottled dressing; I know I do. Even though I mostly make my own, there are times when that bottled favorite is the only one that will do. Thanks for sharing yours.ReplyDelete
hi - I'm bingsy - lurker for about 6 months.
I always like an insider tip and appreciate the product review, and you never know with places like Costco. I might be able to find it here in Texas.
I really love your blog and recipes and links. I'm in Sandy, what stores sell this dressing? I saw someone mention Costco but I wasn't sure if that was where we can buy it.
Yep, it is hot! I'm hosting a German student this year and I'm afraid he is going to be miserable the next couple weeks since we don't have an air conditioner! I'll be fixing your salad and others this next couple weeks because it is nearly unbearable to cook in this weather.
Thanks again.
Christine, I'm sure you're right! (Some might not admit it though.)
Bingsy, Hi. Thanks for commenting. I don't know if you can get this in Texas, but maybe.
Holly I shop at Costco in SLC and Bountiful and they both have it, and my Smiths Food King store also carries is. (Glad you like the blog!)
Kalyn, I read about this dressing the other day on your blog and then last night was in the Bountiful Costco and saw it so promptly bought it - it's great - I had it today on fresh lettuce and tomatoes bought at the Bountiful farmer's market. I only ate at Le Parisien a time or two when I was younger and didn't have much money so I have vague memories of it. However, I've just read your recommend of The Paris restaurant - hadn't heard of it - sounds as if it's over by the King's English? I enjoy your blog - thanks.ReplyDelete
Eleanor, glad to hear you like the dressing. It's simple but delicious isn't it? Yes, The Paris is right by King's English. Pricey but very good food. Glad you're enjoying the blog, thanks for taking the time to comment.ReplyDelete
Kalyn, I found your mozzarella salad & the subsequent link to the page about Le Parisien vinaigrette. I found that Bowles Bros. packages and sells this dressing & others online. I've included the link below: https://www.bowlespackaging.com/categories.php?category=Salad-Dressings
Enjoyed your blog!
TX2GA, glad you're enjoying the blog. Thanks for sharing a place for people to find this online. I'm still buying it at Costco in Salt Lake and still love it.ReplyDelete
I was a waiter at Max's in the 80s - I found your fantastic blog while looking for the vinaigrette - is it still available? Will do anything (just about) to get a bottle or two.ReplyDelete
I worked there in the 80s too! I think I started about 1977 and worked there about 10 years or so. Yes, you can still buy the vinaigrette in Utah; Costco has it as well as quite a few grocery stores!
I don't know if you can get it online; never checked since I buy it at Costco.
Finally! I have been looking where I can purchase this dressing I have been calling other grocery stores and I could not find anything /: but at last I'm going to COSTCO on Monday!
There is a online store here is the link.
This has been by far my most favorite dressing!
Thank-you for the info.
MB I hope you can find it at Costco, and thanks for sharing the link for those who might want to try buying it online!ReplyDelete
I cant find it anywhere! I called the Costco here in Salt Lake City and all of them say that they dont have it!! ]:
What Costco have you gone to find it? Also, the website is not working anymore...
Oh my goodness! So, I have been calling all the Costco's in Utah and I have found the only two Costco's that carry this dressing! AT LAST! Hahahaha!
Murray, Utah Costco
Salt Lake, Utah Costco
Hope this helps to all those who are trying to get this dressing!
Glad you managed to track it down. I buy it all the time at the Costco on 1800 South and 300 West in Salt Lake. In fact, I think they have had it ever since I wrote this post.ReplyDelete
Can you still get this at Costco in SLC? If so, can you give me the manufacturer's name? I would love to try and find some. I live in Louisiana, but remember with great fondness the Le Parisien Vinaigrette. Thanks.
Yes, Costco here still carries this, but I don't have any right now. I'll try to remember to get some and come back here with that information; feel free to remind me!ReplyDelete
I'm so happy you're taking the time to comment on Kalyn's Kitchen! I love hearing from people who stop by, especially if you're sharing feedback or asking questions about a recipe I've posted here.
I've recently changed my comment settings so people can comment without signing in, but you will need to check the box to show you're a live person, and comments on older posts won't show up until I publish them. Thanks for understanding!

Chris Bosh - Lower Abdominal Strain (out indefinitely)
Jared Wade: What Bosh Not Playing Means and Indiana Playing Small Ball
Eric Spoelstra is being coy about his starting lineup for Game 2.
Chris Bosh is (almost) certainly out. Many presume that means Miami will move
LeBron James to now-vacant power forward slot while putting Shane Battier at the
other forward. Tom Haberstroh of ESPN's Heat Index said the Spo "smiled" earlier
today when reporters asked if LeBron would start at the 4, saying only that "all
options are on the table."
Going small after Bosh went down is not what Spoelstra did Game 1. He instead
opened the second half with a more traditional front court of James, Udonis Haslem
and Ronny Turiaf. Still undersized no doubt, but there were two prototypical big
men on the court. That didn't last long, however. LeBron and Battier played the
entire fourth quarter at the 4 and 3 spots, respectively, as the Heat dominated the
Pacers for 12 straight minutes on their way to the victory. In one 3-minute stretch
early in the period, those two — along with Joel Anthony in the front court and
Dwayne Wade and Mike Miller at the guard spots — went on a 10-2 run from which
the Pacers would never recover.
As that shows, whether or not LeBron starts at power forward in Game 2 is more
semantics than anything. Regardless who steps on the court at tip-off, Indiana is
certain to see plenty of him at the position throughout the series, particularly if
Bosh, as some presume, will not play again.
In some very obvious ways, this benefits Indiana.
Unstoppable Size
The Heat have nobody on their roster who can guard the 7'2″ Roy Hibbert.
Without the 6'11″ Bosh — Miami's tallest rotation player — Hibbert will have an
even more glaring size advantage. Bosh isn't exactly Kevin Garnett defensively,
and Roy had his was with him in early in Game 1, but Spoelstra can't be excited
about having to take his chances with any of Joel Anthony, Udonis Haslem or
Ronny Turiaf guarding Hibbert one-on-one when there isn't even another
traditional big man on the floor to clog up the paint.
For what it's worth, even battling foul trouble that eventually led to him fouling
out, Hibbert went 2-for-3 with two free-throw attempts and 2 offensive boards in
9 fourth-quarter minutes on Sunday, even as the Pacers went away from the
post-up game by launching...CONTINUE READING AT 8p9s
|5-on-5 preview: Pacers-Heat, Game 2
In another postseason installment of the Heat Index's 5-on-5 series, our writers give
their takes on the storylines before the Heat host the Pacers in Game 2 Tuesday night.
1. Fact or Fiction: Roy Hibbert will get 20-and-10 in Game 2.
Tim Donahue, 8 points, 9 seconds: Fiction. It's possible, but unlikely. There
are too many things that mitigate against Hibbert getting much more than 30 minutes
- fouls, match ups, conditioning. In addition, Hibbert is too easy to take away, if he
becomes the main focus of the offense. The 17 & 11 he put up Sunday feels awfully
close to his peak to me.
Tom Haberstroh: Fact. Expecting big things from him in Game 2. I see Frank
Vogel getting back to his roots, and studying the tape to find a better way to get him
the ball in the post with Chris Bosh ailing. Secondly, the Heat know that locking down
the perimeter and creating havoc in the passing lanes will lead them to fastbreak
opportunities. They'll "let" Hibbert get his.
Jared Wade, 8 points, 9 seconds: Fiction. He only dropped a 20/10 four times
this regular season and couldn't manage to do so against the center-less Magic in the
first round. Doubt he starts now against one of the league's premier defensive teams.
Michael Wallace: Fiction. I believe Hibbert will get the rebounding numbers.
But he doesn't have to quite score 20 for the Pacers to be effective. In order for
Indiana to fully exploit its size/strength advantage, Hibbert's production must be
complemented by David West.
Brian Windhorst: Fact. He only got 27 minutes and 12 shots in Game 1 because
of foul trouble. He also had to play a half against Bosh. And he still had 17 points and
11 rebounds. No excuse not to improve on that.
2. Fact or Fiction: Danny Granger needs to step up more than Hibbert.
Donahue: Fact. Miami proved that they can live with the Pacer bigs having their
way, provided Indiana gets little or nothing from the perimeter. The Pacers have little
or no chance of winning a game - let alone the series - if Granger doesn't play better
at both ends.
Haberstroh: Fact. This is their leading scorer and he was invisible offensively.
The Heat don't respect Granger quite on the same level as Carmelo Anthony, but he's
clearly much less capable against James. If they have any hope of stealing a game in
Miami, Granger needs to hit his shots. Otherwise, where else are those points going to
come from?
Wade: Fact. The Pacers spread the scoring around pretty evenly but Granger
usually finishes near 20 points when they're playing at their best. This means he gets
a few open threes, a few transition points and a few points he creates by getting to the
rim or pulling up in the mid-range. He needs to find a way to score or Indiana is toast.
Wallace: Fact. Granger claimed that Vogel apologized after the Game 1 loss for
not getting him more involved offensively. Granger also has to be much better than 1
for 10 from the field. Bottom line is Granger must make James work much harder
defensively at a time when he'll be carrying an even bigger load to make up for Bosh's
Windhorst: Fiction. The Pacers hopes are on Hibbert, he has to be a force. He
has to compel the Heat to alter their defense and get out of their preferred style.
Granger of course has to play better, he can't be going 1-of-10. But after watching
Granger play against James about 25 times over the years, I do not expect greatness.
3. Fact or Fiction: You expect the foul disparity to even out in Game 2.
Donahue: Fact. No good way to answer this, but 9 is a big gap, so it will likely
go down. Miami (read: James and Wade) attacks the rim much more, and that will
create more fouls. Unless Granger and Paul George become much more active, the
Pacers will remain...CONTINUE READING AT HEAT INDEX
|Brett Koremenos: Heat vs. Pacers - Game 2 Adjustments
Slow down, post up
Indiana's inability to punish the Heat inside in Game 1 wasn't so much about posts being
fronted and not getting the ball inside, but not allowing things to develop enough to see
if the read was even available.
Tonight, the Pacers' biggest adjustment must simply be to have more patience. Too many
times, Indiana's ball handlers rushed their actions and forced themselves into bad spots.
On the fronting issue in particular, the player making the entry pass needs to slow down,
use pass or shot fakes to make the defense commit to either helping on the big or staying
on the shooter, and then make the corresponding read.
Once the Pacers show some poise, then the tactical adjustments can be made. The first
being that head coach Frank Vogel needs to eliminate any post ups on the block for
players not named Roy Hibbert. David West is much better facing the basket and none of
the Pacer wings have shown enough post dominance to warrant touches other than in
extreme situations (like Granger with one foot in the paint and Mario Chalmers switched
onto him).
Vogel also needs to switch how he is getting Hibbert his post looks. Miami's fronting
scheme is most effective in two situations: when the Pacers run a cross screen into a
post up or when they simply look for him in transition. In both of these situations,
weakside helpers can easily position...CONTINUE READING AT HOOPSPEAK
|Philip Rossman-Reich: What will it take for Pacers to pull off improbable upset?
Frank Vogel will kill me already for calling this an upset despite his Indiana Pacers being
down 1-0 in their playoff series with the Miami Heat.
Undoubtedly, though to many NBA observers, a Pacers victory in their second-round
matchup with the Heat would be nothing less than an upset of monumental proportions.
Miami after all is the world beaters with the supposed cake-walk to the NBA Finals
thanks to Derrick Rose's injury and Chicago's subsequent elimination.
The Celtics, even, are the real opponent awaiting the Heat, not the third-seeded Pacers.
Face Indiana at your own risk though. This is a team that is feeling extremely confident
after a virtual sweep of Orlando in the first round, closing out the five-game series with
four straight wins. What the Pacers lack in experience (and maybe some poise), they
make up for in athleticism and versatility. The Pacers were a matchup nightmare for
the undersized Magic and had plenty of time to experiment.
While the Heat had several blowout victories against the Pacers during the season, the
Playoffs ARE a different animal as both teams will likely learn in this series. Frank Vogel
is one of the best rising coaches in the league and he is already learning the battle of
words and posturing that comes with being this deep in the Playoffs. This is a team that
has strengths where the Heat have weaknesses -- point guard, center and bench depth.
So maybe the Pacers...CONTINUE READING AT CROSSOVER CHRONICLES

Images of NYC's Religious Diversity
The Brooklyn Public Library is currently featuring "Diversity of Devotion" — a photo documentary project depicting 27 religions practiced within the five boroughs of New York City. Stephanie Keith, whose photos we featured in a narrated slideshow for our program "Living Vodou", is one of the 36 contributing photographers.
The project "…was conceived as a response to global religious tensions which intensified in the wake of 9/11. Professional and amateur photographers from around the world volunteered to explore New York City's richly variegated spiritual life and discover how diversity in belief and practice enriches our own individual experience… Our project aims to remind us all how fortunate we are to live in a city where myriad beliefs coexist in peace and tolerance; we can connect to others and share comfort, sadness, hope and joy as we walk our unique spiritual paths."
Here's a few examples of photos from the Brooklyn exhibit:

Democrats aligned with a faction of Republicans in the Louisiana House on Tuesday to force a debate next week on Gov. Bobby Jindal's budget crafting skills.
A series of motions resurrected a hurdle that legislative leaders eliminated in committee just the day before. The hurdle makes it more difficult for the governor's $24.7 billion state spending plan to move from the House to the state Senate.
A House debate now will take place on whether Jindal should use expected property sales and legal settlements to patch holes in the state operating budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1.
House Speaker Chuck Kleckley, R-Lake Charles, downplayed the coup as a bump in a very unpredictable legislative process.
"If I had a crystal ball ... I could predict what's going to happen, but I don't have a crystal ball," he said.
State Rep. Brett Geymann, R-Lake Charles, said the House's action should send the message that legislators want to end the practice of relying on one-time, or nonrecurring, dollars for expenses that must be met year after year. "What I hope they realize after today is we're serious and we've worked hard to get to this point," Geymann said.
The amendment battle involving House Bill 1, the main budget legislation, amounts to an ongoing political struggle over the best way to fund health care, higher education and other public expenses. A faction of House Republicans called the "fiscal hawks" is unhappy with the governor's approach, characterizing it as irresponsible. The hawks have drawn some Democrats to their side in the fight.
On the other side of the battle is the governor, who embraces conservative principles and once railed against using one-time money for recurring expenses. His position on nonrecurring dollars changed when state revenue slumped and Congress delivered a huge funding cut to the Medicaid program. The budget fight put the hawks in the odd position of seeking to put the one-time money they dislike back into the spending plan. With the dollars restored, they now can stall the bill and negotiate.
Jindal said Tuesday night that he will give legislators time to work on the budget.
House Democratic leader John Bel Edwards, of Amite, said legislators need time to make budget fixes, cut spending and study the state tax code for possible revenue sources. This is the year to do it, he said, because the calendar moving forward is filled with constitutional restrictions and elections.
"It's time that we hold the budget bill up in the House so we can explore real possibilities," Edwards said.
He said what happened Tuesday was not a dig at state Rep. Jim Fannin, D-Jonesboro and chairman of the House Appropriations committee.
At issue is a House rule that requires a two-thirds vote for floor debate when the budget contains one-time money for recurring expenses. The rule, which bears the name of fiscal hawk leader Geymann, stalled budget debate last year.
To prevent another stalemate, Fannin purged the one-time dollars from the bill Monday in committee. The plan was to ease the measure's passage through the House and look to the state Senate to restore at least some of the dollars.
State Rep. Katrina Jackson, D-Monroe, objected on the House floor Tuesday to the amendments that removed the one-time money.
"Give the House the opportunity to debate the bill (and) be a part of the process," she said.
Fannin said legislators should have tried to fix the bill when it still was in committee.
"It's obvious that we're playing games here in this body," he said.
The House refused to accept the key amendments purging the one-time money with 23 voting for them and 71 rejecting them in one of two votes on the changes.
The main budget bill will be debated on the House floor May 9.
Voting FOR keeping the one-time money out of the budget (23): Speaker Kleckley, and state Reps. Adams, Berthelot, Billiot, Broadwater, Brossett, H. Burns, T. Burns, Carter, Champagne, Chaney, Fannin, Guinn, Hensgens, Hoffmann, Ivey, Leger, Moreno, Ponti, Shadoin, Simon, Whitney and Willmott.
Voting AGAINST the key amendments in HB1 (71): State Reps. Anders, Armes, Arnold, Badon, Barras, Barrow, S. Bishop, W. Bishop, Brown, Burford, Burrell, Carmody, Connick, Cox, Danahay, Dixon, Edwards, Gaines, Garofalo, Geymann, Gisclair, Greene, Harris, Havard, Hazel, Henry, Hodges, Hollis, Honore, Howard, Hunter, Huval, G. Jackson, K. Jackson, James, Jefferson, Johnson, Jones, Lambert, N. Landry, T. Landry, LeBas, Leopold, Lopinto, Mack, Miller, Montoucet, Jay Morris, Jim Morris, Norton, Ortego, Pierre, Pope, Price, Pugh, Pylant, Reynolds, Richard, Ritchie, Robideaux, Schexnayder, Schroder, Seabaugh, Smith, St. Germain, Talbot, Thibaut, Thierry, Thompson, A.

A lot of top badminton players in the world uses various training techniques to improve arm and wrist strength, and to warm up prior to a match. One of the conventional way was to use a squash racket as the training racket.
This is because of the heavier weight of the squash racket, making it suitable for resistance training. However the squash racket is still not a badminton racket, playing or practicing with the squash racket does not give you the feel and touch of a badminton racket.

These days, everybody complains about the airlines: rotten food, TSA hassles, cramped seating, long delays, lost luggage. And while private jet travelers are a decidedly happier lot, they've been known to offer the occasional gripe as well: the charter flight lacked sufficient baggage space, the catering service overcharged, the FBO disappointed.
I think it's time for everyone to take a deep breath and garner some perspective. And what better way to do that than to compare the typical business-jet flight with how you might have been traveling if you'd happened to have been born a mere 200 years ago? Here's a look, with stagecoach details courtesy of Wikipedia:
Business jet: Count on reclining, oversized fine-leather seats, some with massage function. Larger jets may offer dining and conference rooms, master bedrooms with private baths and galleys stocked with fine china and gourmet food.
Stagecoach: Comforts? We're talking 15 inches per passenger on a wooden bench inside the coach, and that's if you were lucky; more than half a dozen travelers typically had to sit on the roof. Those in middle rows rode with their knees dovetailed. Passengers on the center seat had only a leather strap to support their backs. People spent entire journeys with bags and mail pouches between their feet. You think you've had bumpy rides on your business jet? Try traversing unpaved rocky roads in a horse-drawn coach—for a week.
Business jet: Most flights are too short to require a stop. FBOs at both ends offer such amenities as opulent lounges and meeting rooms equipped for videoconferencing. Some incorporate fitness centers.
Stagecoach: You could expect brief stops at primitive way stations, but getting off the coach at one of them could be a mistake. If it left without you, you could be stuck for days. You could try sleeping en route but Wells Fargo cautioned passengers against snoring loudly or using fellow passengers' shoulders as pillows. As for exercise, you might have to periodically get off the stagecoach and walk, to give the horses a break. You might also have to push the stagecoach up a hill or out of sand or mud.
Business jet: Some models approach the speed of sound. You can leave New York or L.A. at lunchtime and easily make dinner on the other coast.
Stagecoach: Figure on four to seven miles an hour, with distances covered daily averaging 70 to 120 miles. With luck, you might be able to depart New York City before breakfast and reach the state capital of Albany in time for a midnight dinner.
Business jet: Cabins are smoke-free, pressurized and climate-controlled.
Stagecoach: Temperatures ranged from sweltering to frigid. Wells Fargo provided buffalo robes in cold weather but warned that "hogging robes will not be tolerated and the offender will be made to ride with the driver." The company didn't permit cigars or pipes but allowed chewing tobacco so long as you "spit with the wind, not against it."
Business jet: Passengers enjoy Wi-Fi, Internet access, widescreen high-definition video, moving maps, noise-cancelling headphones and more.
Stagecoach: Um, no.
Business jet: Safety issues and accidents are extremely rare.
Stagecoach: Wells Fargo often advised travelers to pack a pistol or knife, but to avoid alarming passengers it forbade any onboard discussion of stagecoach robberies or Indian uprisings, both of which were common. The company also instructed passengers to remain calm in the event of runaway horses, as "leaping from the coach in panic will leave you injured [or] at the mercy of the elements, hostile Indians and hungry coyotes."
Now what was that you were saying about how your FBO's espresso machine wasn't working properly and your flight took off 20 minutes late?

I think you've missed it. Your first paragraph referenced airlines. I think most of us would make a comparison flying coach twenty years ago to flying coach today. Pass the peanuts.
Business jet might be compared to a private train car. Pass the caviar.
Which brings us to the bottom line, price. A high price is payed for those FBO espresso machines to work...and for the business jet to arrive on time. Comparatively not so much for the stagecoach.

I think charter passengers have unrealistic expectations of baggage and cabin space, particularly in the light jet market. They drive up with an SUV or two crammed to the ceiling with extremely large suitcases, order so much catering that the galley on a G550 would be overloaded, and still expect to fill all the seats in the cabin and be comfortable. Get real. I've also had customers complain about how "tiny" the plane is. These are often the same customers who haggle over a hundred dollars on a charter quote.
You want light jet prices? You're going to get a light jet. You're not going to be able to stand up in it or stretch your arms out from side to side without hitting a seatmate. Don't be so cheap that your charter broker beats up five operators in the hope someone will cave and give you the trip at a loss. Bring a reasonable amount of baggage for your overnight trip - not your entire wardrobe. Don't expect big platters of catering or perfectly presented hot food. Understand you're on a LIGHT JET. You get what you pay for.

Re: Stan - This is the sort of thing the jet charter broker or company should really be discussing with them before flying, especially if someone if using the private jet to go on a shopping trip - not that uncommon in Europe.
If luggage is important, its straightforward enough to book a bigger aircraft with more capacity, but when they roll up in their car (or van) it's a bit late.

AIN's Business Jet Traveler magazine has been working since 2003 to provide charter, fractional and private jet passengers with information to help them make the right choices when flying via business aviation. See this article from 2009 for an example.

Learn the key concepts of Structured Query Language (SQL), and gain a solid working knowledge of this powerful and universal database programming language.
In this course, you'll learn about the basic structure of relational databases and how to read and write simple and complex SQL statements and advanced data manipulation techniques. First, you'll learn about the traditional database structure, the structure and history of the relational database, and what structured query language (SQL) is and how it relates to the relational-database structure.
Next, you'll discover how to use SQL to filter retrieved data and how to use SQL to sort and retrieve data from tables. You'll learn how to reformat retrieved data with calculated fields and how to merge columns and create alternate names for columns. You'll also learn how to gather significant statistics from data using aggregate functions, and you'll see how to extract data from multiple tables simultaneously using joins and subqueries. In addition, you'll learn how to manipulate data using the INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
We'll also cover how to use SQL to create and maintain tables, and you'll learn how to create and use views to simplify complex queries, summarize data, and manipulate data stored in tables. You'll discover how transaction processing, constraints, and indexes are implemented in SQL. And finally, you'll discover how stored procedures, triggers, and cursors are implemented in SQL.
By the end of this course, you'll have a solid working knowledge of structured query language. You'll feel confident in your ability to write SQL queries to create tables; retrieve data from single or multiple tables; delete, insert, and update data in a database; and gather significant statistics from data stored in a database.

Cecelia did a fine job in presenting the material and backing it up with examples. The assignments and questions on the quizzes were also appropriate. Enjoyed it!
I really wanted to thank Ms. Allison for conducting this course. I have tried to take an SQL course before but had to quit as the instructor taught so far above my head I could not understand the subject matter. This course was broken down into small bites and the quizzes and assignments helped to bring the concept home! I have enjoyed this course and would consider taking another course like this. I have already recommended this course to a friend who has also taken it. We both are very happy with the results. Thanks Again.
It made me feel good to know that Cecelia Allison is an expert on this subject. I bought both of her books and I have learned a lot. Her style of teaching makes learning easy and fun. I feel very fortunate to have learned from such an expert in the field.
It was a great class! It not only gave me the knowledge of SQL, but it also improved my abilities in other applications such as MS Access and MS Excel. The instructor presented the subject matter in a perfect balance of technical and practical. It was evident to me she has educational and in-the-field expert experience. She is also personable and helpful.
The course gave me a 'challenging' introduction to SQL. It introduced two types of databases that I had not previously used:Microsoft Access and SQL Query 7. The examples and assignments reinforced what had been taught in previous lessons. Thank you. I not only learned a great deal but had a good time.
Very nice introduction to SQL. This helped me gain a better basic understanding of things I'd been tampering with for several years. I could probably have saved myself many frustrating hours having taken a course like this a couple years back.
I really enjoyed Cecelia's writing style, and would like to comment on her excellent use of English and attention to detail/proofreading. Too many programmers, including instructors, don't seem to care how their messages are written as long as someone, somewhere can decipher the meaning. When an instructor cares enough to write well, I respect his/her knowledge and authority on the subject. I feel that this is very important when learning, as it is the instructor's job to make material more efficient to absorb. Thanks, Cecelia!
I was impressed with this class. After reading one of the discussion responses that I was actually doing intermediate to advanced work with SQL and understanding it, is a huge compliment to the instructor. I have never been on Access or done any work with any other databases before either. I have since gone onto my home computer and done a lot of work setting up databases with the help of this course. Thank you and I will definitely be taking more and taking the instructor's advice on what to take in the future. Thank you again for a great class. After being unemployed for a year it is great to have something to make me feel good!
When I started this course I really didn't know anything about SQL. This course has helped me a lot in learning the basics about SQL. I feel more comfortable using it at work now. Cecelia's book was also a great help and I recommend it to those who are just starting to learn this course. I'm so glad I found this course, and I look forward for the next intermediate class that Cecelia is going to offer.

BROOKVILLE, NY - The L.I. Lutheran Crusaders (19-2) are the undisputed top Class AA team on Long Island so far, having been #1 on the NYCHoops Top Ten since week one.
Reminiscent of a boxing match, LuHi looked to unify the NY title belts even before next month's NYS Federation T.O.C. On Sunday, LuHi came one step closer to achieving that goal as they thoroughly beat NYC's #1 Abraham Lincoln (19-5) from start to finish, 58-49.
"I think both of our teams really like to fast break but as good as we are, I thought they might be a little better in watching them," said Crusaders head coach John Buck. As a result, Buck said he decided to make sure his squad got back in transition, forcing the Railsplitters to play against a set defense.
The strategy worked as Lincoln, a Brooklyn, NY team from the PSAL, only held a brief 2-0 lead at the beginning of the game, off a jumper by Trevonn Morton (2 points) and at 6-4 lead with 2:42 left in the first quarter off a put back by Desi Rodriguez (4 points). Each time, Luhi had a response as Tim Quashie (11 points) and Mical Ryan-Boyd (8 points) countered.
While Lincoln's big man Michael Viligance attempted to body Kentan Facey in the paint, the slender 6'9" senior forward used his superior length to not only grab 16 rebounds on both ends of the court but become an offensive threat, scoring 12 points. Facey even put his perimeter game on display.
Luhi's game plan made for a grind 'em out, ugly game as opposed to a up and down fast paced PSAL-type game but Coach Buck believed that was to the Crusader's advantage. Dominating the boards right from the tip off, Facey, a UConn bound senior, wreaked havoc on the Railsplitters who found themselves in a 12-6 hole after the first quarter; a hole that they would never climb out of.
"We definitely needed this win," said Facey who put on a show. "Knowing their history and everything, we knew they were gonna come in here and try to smack us."
LuHi's defensive investment definitely paid high dividends. Isaiah Whitehead (16 points), Lincoln's primary offensive weapon, was held scoreless in the first quarter and had to work for every shot. Railsplitters' recent returnee Shaq Davis (6 points) struggled all afternoon, especially from midrange and Elijah Davis (13 points) was only able to drop 2 points in the first half. Midway through the second quarter, Luhi had amassed a 9 point lead as Tawayne Anderson (13 points and 6 rebounds) and point guard Chris Atkinson (6 points) got transition buckets.
Whitehead and Rodriguez began to heat up late in the quarter but Lincoln would find themselves still in a 29-23 deficit at the half.
"Let's get tough! "barked Coach Buck to his team during the halftime huddle and LuHi responded, increasing their lead to 12 points to start the fourth quarter. Baskets by Anderson inside and an all-in approach to crashing the boards and Crusaders were comfortably ahead by 16 with 3:31 left to play.
Coach Buck subbed out his starters with about a 1:48 on the clock to possibly make a point but the Railsplitters made run that closed the gap to 10 points with 34.4 seconds remaining in regulation. Buck would quickly sub Atkinson back in with 57.8 secs and the sophomore PG finished navigating the Crusaders to the win.
"This was a really good win for the program," said Buck. "Playing a team like Lincoln; they're one of the city's best every year but this is just the regular season so we'll just stick this one in our back pocket."
Coach Buck said that the Crusader's eye is on the ultimate prize which is the Federation Class AA Tournament of Champions in Albany, NY. "This [win] is just trying to get us ready [for the States]," he said.

Jenkins to make second start of season on Sunday
TORONTO -- The Blue Jays decided to turn to another young player for Sunday's start in the series finale vs. the Orioles.
Chad Jenkins will make his second start of the season, exactly two weeks after impressing in his first outing against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Although the long stretch in between pitching would typically mean some rust for the starter on the mound, it's something that Jenkins is accustomed to.
"I did it last year," Jenkins said. "There was a couple of times where I had nine or 10 days off. It's tough, but at the same time you enjoy the rest while you have it."
However, manager John Gibbons admitted that the amount of time off has not been ideal.
"That's the tough thing because it's been a couple of weeks," Gibbons said. "If he doesn't pitch tonight [out of the bullpen], he'll have a big long side at the end of the game and he should be good to go."
Jenkins, like Nolin, was injured for the first month of the year, and his previously sore shoulder is actually improving with the rest and bullpen sessions he's had in the last two weeks. His changeup in particular has improved since he's been rehabbing.
Still, the right-hander hasn't seen opposing batters in a long time, and there was some concern that it might take some time to find a feel for his pitches.
Jenkins isn't buying into that theory, and he doesn't really consider himself that type of pitcher.
"My sinker, I just try to throw it around the dish and let it do the work," said Jenkins, who is expected to have a pitch count of 80-90 pitches.
"Whatever [the catcher] puts down, I'm probably going to throw it."

Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013 | Pictures
Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2013
If the scarf prints and bold umbrella stripes weren't enough to tip you off, surely the burlap sacks made into t-shirt dresses and printed with "Sicilia" across the chest were obvious indication that Dolce & Gabbana looked to Sicily to inspire their Spring '13 vision. In a collection that sought to capture Sicilian culture in its every piece, the inspiration that delivered the most literal results were the scarf prints, headscarves, tasseled earrings, and stripes that conjured images of the Mediterranean beaches and the striped umbrellas lining the sand (if you're plotting a getaway to the area, you now have the dresses to match your beach accessories). Of course, in large part, it's the styling here — the multicolored handbags and platforms, the scarves, and the oversize earrings — that turn the collection into more of a caricature. We suspect that if you stripped the stripes of their add-ons, you'd strip them of any over-the-top references, too. As for the scarf prints, silky peasant dresses, and high-impact minis, there's not much that can be done to temper the stuff — they call for an equally bold personality to pull them off; we suggest Anna Dello Russo.
- Trends: Stripes, scarf prints, floral appliqués, crochet, brocade, and lace.
- Colors: Black, white, yellow, red, khaki, blue, and green.
- Key Piece: The striped dresses and separates are certainly the most wearable of the bunch.
- Accessories: Headscarves, oversize beaded earrings, and multicolored platforms, flats, T-strap heels, and embellished bags.
- Who Should Wear It: We could see Diane Kruger in the stripes and Anna Dello Russo in the tasseled embellished minidresses.
