Northrop's venerable T-38 Talon supersonic trainer entered service with the U.S. Air Force in March 1961 and has provided the advanced portion of the service's training syllabus ever since. Over 1,100 were delivered and more than 450 remain in service.
The T-38C avionics upgrade program was begun in 2001 and, combined with the Pacer Classic structural and systems overhaul program, was intended to see the Talon through to at least 2020. However, a fatal accident two years ago was the catalyst for a plan to accelerate the T-38's replacement, with a new planned in-service date of 2017.
That date would suggest the award of a system design and development contract in 2013, and the world's trainer manufacturers are working hard to come up with attractive proposals. In today's climate all competitions are worth fighting for, but it is the sheer scale of this one that is remarkable. The U.S. Air Force has outlined an initial requirement for around 350 aircraft, but this is likely to grow considerably and may also involve light-attack and carrier-capable versions. As with most U.S. programs, the export spin-off potential is also huge.
Studying the T-X
For some time the USAF has been working on studies for what it calls the T-X, and a request for information was issued in March 2009. On the face of it, the obvious T-X candidates are the trio that have battled over most recent advanced trainer competitions: the Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master, BAE Systems Hawk and Korean Aerospace Industries/Lockheed Martin T-50 Golden Eagle. All three are built overseas, but the establishment of production lines in the U.S. and incorporation of a large degree of domestic content would overcome many of the political challenges.
Given the potential scale of the T-X it seems likely that the prime contractor would be a major U.S. company. In the case of the T-50 it would be unthinkable that Lockheed Martin would not throw its weight behind what is, after all, partly its own product. Italy's Aermacchi, through its Alenia North America arm, and the UK contender, through U.S.-based BAE Systems Inc., could feel they have enough of a domestic footprint to go it alone, but would more likely team up with a U.S. major. In May Alenia rebranded the M-346 as the T-100 Integrated Training System for the U.S. market.
The big U.S. companies have yet to show their hands, raising some interesting questions about the T-X. Boeing, in particular, is weighing a number of options. Via the merger with McDonnell Douglas it inherited and has perpetuated a close relationship with BAE Systems through the Harrier and T-45 Goshawk programs. The latter, in particular, would appear to make BAE the most obvious partner. However, in May 2008 Boeing signed an agreement to jointly market the Aermacchi M-346 (and M-311) in non-U.S. markets. At the same time, Boeing has not ruled out a new, all-American design.
Although the T-38 line ended in 1972, Northrop Grumman is the incumbent advanced trainer manufacturer and could enter the fray with a new design. Perhaps a more likely offering would be a radical modernization program for the T-38 itself, with considerable cost savings compared to new procurement.
To meet the 2017 schedule, the Pentagon must allocate some T-X funding in the next budget, the request for which is due in February. If it is approved, a request for proposals would most likely be issued soon after.
At present the USAF is studying only the training element of the T-X, but there are obvious opportunities for light-attack capability. For the training role the aircraft would prepare pilots for the F-22 and F-35, and by definition would need an advanced cockpit with mission management capability. The supersonic capability provided currently by the T-38 is rarely used and is probably an expensive luxury. Similarly, radar and weapon systems can be emulated satisfactorily in the modern decoupled cockpits of the three main T-X candidates.
While the T-X is an Air Force program, the U.S. Navy is keeping a close watch as it may join at a later date to satisfy a long-term requirement for a T-45 replacement. The ability of the T-X aircraft to be carrier-compatible is not being considered initially, but may become factor at a later stage. Alternatively, the U.S. Navy may plow its own furrow going forward, perhaps proceeding with the proposed T-45D Goshawk, a much-improved version of the current trainer.

Hi Nathan and welcome to Thailand!
I have just read your most recent post and would comment as follows...
1. Take it one step at a time.
2. Don't rush to choose a Wat in which to ordain.
3. Maybe go and visit Venerable Appicchato in Kanchanaburi and listen to his wise words of wisdom from 30+ years of living here.
4. Make the decisions by yourself, and don't get swept up by your new found Thai friends enthusiasm to see you ordain.
5. Slow down...this is Thailand!
6. If you ordain at a small village temple, it may be that the Abbot won't have a clue about Visa extensions or paperwork that is required (never having
had a foreigner ordain before)
7. Drop the hotel car, in fact move out of the hotel altogether. Go and see Thailand for yourself, and by yourself - it is a far more enriching experience than the clinical security of a BKK hotel. After all, if you ordain, you will be on your own.
8. I wish you all the very best on your journey, and you can always pm me if you want some more advice or help.
My experience of Thailand (in total 12 years now) is much the same as Venerable Appicchato's, and I laugh when he writes his posts because
his experiences match mine so closely! (Especially when it comes to the Thai-Farang examples he quotes).

A's tab Colon for Saturday start in Houston
OAKLAND -- The A's have opted to bring back right-hander Bartolo Colon as soon as they can, electing to start the veteran on the first day he's eligible to return from his 50-game performance-enhancing drug suspension.
That's Saturday in Houston, where the A's will be in the middle of a three-game set with their new division foes.
"You want to get him started sooner than later," manager Bob Melvin said. "We would've had to find another place for him to go pitch, and we just want to get him in there. We had targeted this all along."
It will mark Colon's first start in the Majors since Aug. 18. It was four days later when he was slapped with the 50-game ban after testing positive for testosterone, leaving the A's to continue their surprise run into the postseason without him.
Colon was enjoying a resurgent year with the A's, having gathered 10 wins and a 3.43 ERA up to that point. The club is hopeful that he's just as effective post-suspension in an otherwise young rotation that features Brett Anderson, Jarrod Parker, Tommy Milone and A.J. Griffin -- all 26 years old or younger. Colon will be 40 in May.
Once Colon is officially back on the 25-man roster, right-hander Dan Straily -- scheduled to start Friday -- is expected to be optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Anderson will follow him in the rotation on Sunday and, with an off-day on Monday, the A's are able to give Parker, Milone and Griffin two extra days of rest.
"We think that's the right thing to do based on their workloads last year," Melvin said. "As long as no one's really struggling that we need to skip, I think that will be our theme all year, to give these guys an extra day when we can."

Dirty Dozen
You've all heard of the dirty dozen, right? Not to be confused with Dirty Harry (though my mother would plant him in her garden, if she could!). These are the top twelve fruits and vegetables known for being laden with pesticides and fungicides. Unfortunately, my favorite "Granny Smith" tops the list every year.
Apples. The number one offender when it comes to toxic residue. According to Environmental Working Group (EWG), the group who publishes the list every year, it's believed "more pesticides and fungicides are being applied after the harvest so the fruit can have a longer shelf life." Huh. Well who'd a thunk it. Yet another reason to grow your own. That's what the kids think, anyway. This week we chased caterpillars from the garden and talked pesticide. Organic pesticide.
The little boy looked up at me in horror. "You want me to squish it?" More

When I first started making music I worked at a ridiculously loud volume. I had to feel every kick drum in my chest even if I was working for hours at a time. Over the years I learned my mixes came out better if turned the volume down below eleven. Today I work very quietly; slightly below talking level. This lets me work for long periods of time without fatigue. However, I think it's a good idea to have a subwoofer with lots of power to check the low frequencies of a recording from time to time. The best scenario is to have the sub attached to a speaker selector so you can turn it on and off separately from your nearfields. I use a Presonus Central Station with the CSR1 remote control for speaker selection. Another good option is to have the sub attached to a foot pedal. M-Audio BX10s are a an example of a subwoofer that has a foot pedal attachment.
A subwoofer can cause audio mayhem unless it's placed properly. Here's a good way to find the spot on the floor it should be placed:
1. Create an even full bass sound in your DAW.
2. Record that bass note stepping up over a low octave.
3. Move the chair you sit in while you work out of the way and put the sub-woofer in that spot.
4. Play your low bass octave. Have it looping continuously.
5. Get on the floor, on your hands and knees and move around the room listening to the scale. In some parts of the room one or more of the notes will feel weaker or less loud. Those parts of the room are bad places to put the sub. When you find a place that every note has equal volume and quality you found a good place to put your sub!
I should point out the better your room acoustics and treatment the easier it will be to find that sweet spot. In general most small studio rooms need a serious amount of Bass Traps. Room acoustics is another full post (or book!) but if you want my fast recommendation I would say go spend 2.5k at RealTraps.com. Take a look at their Mini and Monotraps. You can make your own traps for less money but it will take some research and sweat and they wont look nearly as nice as the RealTraps stuff.

McDowell edges closer to World Challenge win
Tiger Woods knows Sherwood better than anyone else at the World Challenge but in Graeme McDowell he trails a player who is equally at home at the venue by five shots going into tomorrow's final round.
While tournament host Woods has won the elite invitational event a record five times, Northern Irishman McDowell has finished second and first in his only two previous starts here and he led by two shots after the third round.
"He likes it here," American world number three and defending champion Woods told reporters about McDowell. "The golf course suits his game, he keeps the ball in front of him and he's a beautiful putter.
"His ball flight is, I think, perfect for how the conditions are. He hits it flat and loves to draw it, and that's going to take a lot of the spin off it, which is great."
Though Woods sits five shots off the pace heading into the final round of the 18-man event at Sherwood Country Club, recent history is in his favour with only one player winning the title in the last eight years after holding the 54-hole lead.
Woods himself was the sole exception, triumphing by a record seven strokes in 2007 after leading by six heading into the final round.
Victory tomorrow would certainly cap a successful year for the 14-times major champion who returned to form by winning three tournaments on the 2012 PGA Tour.
"Always nice to end the year with a win," smiled Woods after firing a three-under-par 69 in rain-soaked conditions at Sherwood today. "I've done it a few times here at this event, and hopefully I can do it again tomorrow."
Woods is perhaps due for a low score on Sunday, having produced good form in fits and starts in the previous three rounds at Sherwood.
Though the par-72 layout is playing ultra-long after a week of intermittent rain, the greens are receptive to bold approach play but Woods has, in the main, failed to take advantage of the five par-fives.
"I missed a few opportunities out there," he said after mixing four birdies with one bogey to post an eight-under total of 208. "I felt like I played decent enough to get to 10 under, to get to double digits, and just didn't do it.
"As of right now I'm five back. I'm going to have to shoot a low one tomorrow and see what happens."

After three straight victories to begin the season, Grayslake North's girls basketball team won't be sneaking up on teams much longer.
But it certainly did so with some success on Wednesday.
Jordyn Bowen, one of the Knights' guards, led an opportunistic defense as Grayslake North topped Carmel Catholic 41-28 in Mundelein's Turkey Tournament.
"In practice, we do work on it a lot," said Bowen of the defensive effort.
She finished with 5 points and had 3 timely steals.
"We just 'D' up harder to make our other guards better," Bowen said. "It makes us push harder in games. Getting steals puts a lot of pressure on the other team's guards. We always want to the read the pass and track on the ball coming to the middle."
Emily Dugan led the Knights (3-0) with 12 points off the bench. Brittney Thibeaux added 11 points, 6 blocked shots and 5 rebounds.
"The biggest thing is the depth that we have," Grayslake North coach Nate Flannery said. "It's no let-up with our sixth, seventh and eighth players. They give us a spark and they give other people some rest."
The Knights jumped out to a 12-6 lead over the Corsairs (1-2) as Thibeaux dropped in 8 points in the first quarter.
Carmel got within 12-10 on Kathleen Felicelli's short-jumper with 6:47 left in the second quarter.
But Grayslake North went on an 11-5 run and Dugan dropped in a 3-pointer with 38 seconds left to put the Knights ahead 23-15 at the break.
"It all came down to some good effort," Dugan said. "It's all on the timing on the passes and getting help from my teammates. I do shoot a lot of 3's in practice."
Dugan contributed 5 more points, including another trey that capped a 12-5 run in the third and increased the Knights' lead to 35-20 heading into the fourth.
Carmel tried to recover in the last period but couldn't get the Grayslake North lead under double digits.
Cassidy Kloss led the Corsairs with 12 points.
"We just had a couple of bad possessions on offense, and it snowballed on us," Carmel coach Kelly Perz said. "When things aren't going your way ... We had so many tipped balls that we didn't get. It wasn't one of our best games as a team.
"The good news is, we'll get a day off (Thursday), get back into the gym and get ready for Friday and Saturday."

Commission now tasked with mediating gillnet fight
SALEM, Ore. (AP) The future of commercial fishing on the Columbia River is now in the hands of the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission after a measure to ban gillnets failed on Election Day.
The commission faces the tough task of mediating a longstanding conflict between commercial and recreational fishing interests by the end of the year. After years of stalemate, Gov. John Kitzhaber has asked the commission to come up with new commercial fishing regulations that phase out the use of gillnets on the Columbia.
Gillnets snag fish by the gills and are the primary method of commercial fishing on the Columbia. Critics contend that they're cruel to fish and slow the restoration of salmon populations because they can't differentiate endangered fish from targeted species. But commercial fishermen say gillnets have been used for centuries and the controversy surrounding them is drummed up by sport anglers who want to eliminate competition for salmon.
After unsuccessful attempts to persuade the Legislature to ban gillnets, sport-fishing and environmental groups went directly to the people with a ballot initiative that spooked commercial fishermen who feared being put out of business. They spent nearly $700,000 but ultimately abandoned the effort after Kitzhaber announced his bid for a compromise.
The governor proposed phasing in a ban on gillnets on the main stem of the Columbia while allowing them to continue operating on side channels and beefing up the hatchery operations in those areas.
With only opponents actively campaigning, Measure 80 went down last week, 66 percent to 34 percent.
Commercial fishermen have taken a skeptical view of the governor's proposal, saying there's not enough space or fish in side channels to accommodate the demand.
"We've already given everything that we can give," said Bill Hunsinger, a lifelong commercial fishermen. "If we give away the main stem, there's no way the industry can exist. It just can't."
The Fish and Wildlife Commission has fielded dozens of spirited comments from people on both sides of the issue.
Washington is experimenting with seine nets, an alternative that's currently illegal in Oregon. Officials say it will be several years before they know whether seines result in a lower mortality rate for endangered fish. Commercial fishermen question whether seines would be commercially viable on the Columbia.

Tickets selling fast for music event on the farm
TICKETS are selling fast for a family festival later this month which is returning after a two year break.
Summer Breeze is a two-day event which combines live music with family entertainment. It's held at Warren Farm, Liddington.
The first event was held in 2007 and in the past has attracted acts such as KT Tunstall and Toploader.
In 2012, when the last festival was held, more than 2,000 people attended but this year organisers have scaled everything back for a more intimate affair.
Andrew Loddington, who has organised every festival, said: "Taking a year off has allowed us to go back to our roots.
"This year the main stage is located behind the farmhouse whereas before it was out in one of the fields.
"This will give it more of a garden party feel than in previous years and offers one of the best views in Wiltshire."
Summer Breeze is held over two nights so many of those who attend will be bringing their tents and camping for the festival.
Held on July 18 and 19, tickets have been selling fast and there are only a limited number left.
A licensing hearing was held yesterday to ensure the correct conditions were in place and everything was in order ahead of the event.
"There will be musicians coming from all over who are all real quality with loads of experience," said Andrew.

POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. - Sales of single-family homes in Dutchess County rose almost 18 percent in February when compared to the same month last year.
During the first two months of the year, home sales rose by 19 percent.
Sandy Tambone, executive officer of Mid-Hudson Multiple Listing Service, said the increased sales numbers suggest it is going to be a good year. "We are experiencing some stability and hopefully we are at the bottom of the bell curve and we will see ourselves clear in the future," Tambone said.
One negative is that median selling prices continue a downward slide. The February median price is almost 13 percent lower than it was one year ago, going from $240,000 to $209,000.
Some good news is that single-family home inventory is almost 15 percent lower than last year and purchase offers accepted rose by 35 percent so far this year.

I am new to the forums, and pretty new to Buddhism. I was raised a Christian but my parents didn't go to church every week, and we didn't talk about it much except for a period that lasted for about 4 years. In those 4 years I was baptized and confirmed into the Catholic Church, and have since been baptized Baptist.
I have become a bit uncomfortable with a few tenets of Christianity and I don't know exactly where I stand at the moment, but when I read about Buddhism, it all seems to describe exactly what I have always felt I should be doing. I have been reading here and there about Buddhism for about 8 months, and doing my best to practice what I know daily but without any points of reference or a mentor I feel kind of lost. What I do know, is when I practice I am more at peace than I ever have been in my life. I just need questions answered and suggestions offered so I can learn better.
BTW, I'm 27, married(together nearly 8 years) with 2 kids. My wife is very happy with what we've learned about Buddhism and was actually relieved to hear me say I was unsatisfied with our Church. We think very much alike so that's good!
Any suggestions on how to start or texts I should read would be welcome!

CINCINNATI—There was a moment during the first week of Bengals training camp where linebackers coach Paul Guenther wanted to get a true gage on what he really had in Vontaze Burfict.
Was this the guy who wrote to Marvin Lewis before the draft saying, "give me a shot and I will prove that I am a good person and a great football player," or the player who was called for 16 personal fouls in his last 26 games, a stat only NHL enforcers would love?
So Guenther had a little test for his rookie linebacker. During an afternoon practice, veteran center Kyle Cook started to get under Burfict's skin. On one running play, Cook gave Burfict a slight hit away from the play. Burfict thought about going after Cook but after a couple seconds of glaring at him, walked away.
Burfict passed that test along with a couple others this season. After being one of the top prospects before going into one of the worst draft freefalls in history, Burfict, who signed with the Bengals less than an hour after the draft ended, is now being discussed as a darkhorse prospect for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
"All I know is, since the time he has been here, Vontaze has been coachable and wants to be the best player he can be," Guenther said. "He's not playing like a rookie."
Starting the last seven games at weakside linebacker, Burfict is second on the team in tackles with 81 along with five tackles for a loss. He also has a sack and two passes defensed. In the Oct. 21 loss to Pittsburgh, Burfict had 16 tackles and 14 solo stops, both team highs this season.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the most starts by a Bengal in his rookie season who was a college free agent is 11 by linebacker Armegis Spearman of Ole Miss in 2000. If Burfict starts Sunday at Kansas City, he joins Spearman and Kevin Sargent as the only college free agent rookies to start as many as half the games.
"He makes plays," defensive back Nate Clements said. "It doesn't matter whether you're a rookie. The key is productivity."
The Bengals have had a knack for taking chances on players. When they didn't draft a linebacker and ended up signing Burfict, they saw it as a no-risk move since Burfict signed a rookie deal. The Browns and Eagles also were interested, but it was because of the connection Burfict made with Lewis that brought him to Cincinnati.
Lewis met Burfict during Arizona State's Pro Day. That's when Lewis took him to the side and said to run the 40. Point being, the time didn't matter, it was to show the coaches and general managers he was a worker.
Burfict got Lewis' number during the workout and later emailed asking for a chance. Lewis' response to Burfict before the draft, "Put your past behind you and focus on the future."
Burfict's initial goal was to just make his way on to the team, learn the playbook and be a leader along with one other important matter.
"I wanted to get in good with my teammates, because I'm pretty sure they thought that I was the same guy people (thought I was). I just wanted them to know I'm not that type of person. I'm a great guy and a great person off the field," he said.
"For me, what people portrayed me as at the draft, I totally wasn't that guy. It's not like I could go and confront media people and say 'you guys have got the wrong person.' Whatever they put out there, they put out there. And whatever team got me, they will see the real Vontaze. I'm just totally the opposite of that."
Throughout the process, he has remained humble and soft spoken. The night he found out he made the 53-man roster, Burfict took his girlfriend, Brandie, to Olive Garden to celebrate. He has also been accessible to reporters during locker room periods.
On the field, Burfict got the opportunity to start after Thomas Howard suffered a season-ending knee injury before the Week 2 game against Cleveland. After playing middle linebacker throughout his career, Burfict had just three days to learn the weakside spot.
He saw 22 snaps against the Browns. Since then, Burfict started the last seven games, playing more than 85 percent of the plays. He has recorded double-digit tackles in five of the starts.
The biggest difference with playing outside linebacker is coverage. Instead of taking on the center, Burfict now has to take on the fullback or tight end along with picking up on tight ends and receivers further up field. He already might be the best linebacker on the team when it comes to pass coverage.
When asked to assess Burfict's progress, Rey Maualuga said Burfict was already ahead of where he was a rookie.
"The thing that has surprised me the most is the way he has handled himself around his teammates. He is taking the extra time to study and has not been nervous about moving to the outside spot," Guenther said.
Burfict's progress has also been rewarding to the support group around him. His agent, Chuck Price, first saw him during a high school All-Star game when Burfict was a senior at Centennial High in Corona, Calif. Price didn't meet him though until he decided to declare for the draft.
When Burfict wrote a letter to every pro team trying to atone for a bad Combine and Pro Day, it was Price's idea. Price also instructed Burfict to take the name and number of every pro personnel guy or coach he met and to be attentive. What Price stressed is something commonly lost throughout the draft process—it's a four-month job interview.
"He liked the idea of it. Any time you get acknowledged it was rewarding," Price said of Burfict's letter to teams. "Marvin was one of many, but on a certain level, Marvin was a guy on the other side of the email that cared."
When asked if it was hard to write the letter, Burfict said it wasn't and it gave him a chance to express how he felt about his situation, how others viewed him and asking that a team give him the chance.
Burfict's goals for the remainder of the season are to continue to make progress, starting with Sunday's game against the Broncos. Many of his 16 tackles against the Steelers were the result of being unblocked. When offensive linemen get their hands on him though, there were times when he was unable to shed the block.
" 'Tez' is a rookie; he makes errors and needs to correct them," Lewis said. "But he is one of the most natural young linebackers I've seen. He runs around, flies around, and he makes a lot of tackles—that's part of playing linebacker. You can give the guy a minus, but at the end of the day, it's your job to get the football on the ground, and he does a good job of that."
Many already are looking ahead to next year. Maualuga is a free agent at the end of the season and some wonder if Burfict will move back to the middle. Linebacker will be a big area in free agency as only Burfict and rookie Emmanuel Lamur are under contract for next year.
For Burfict though, the focus remains on the last seven games.
"I'm excited. Me and Rey (Maualuga) in the middle and Manny Lawson we're a great linebacking corps and us communicating and playing with each other. Just taking control of that defense we can be a force to reckon with," Burfict said.

A Star Returns
After years of battling rumors and bad scripts, Tom Selleck, the former Star of Magnum, P.I., is poised for a comeback.
He doesn't look like Magnum anymore.
Tom Selleck, 50 years old, emerges from the breakfast room at the elegant Carlyle Hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side, right hand extended in greeting. His hair is shorter and thinner, his forehead higher, his smiling face broader, his wrinkles more prominent, his hips, well, just a little wider. He is six-foot-four, but somehow this day he seems not quite that tall.
Yet, the moment you meet him, you know: He still has the aura, the charisma, the special feeling of a star.
It has been seven years since "Magnum, P.I."--that hugely successful TV series with its lanky, courageous and yet somehow quintessentially goofy Hawaiian private eye--finished its eight-year run on CBS. For Selleck, much has happened in those seven years.
He has done well with Three Men and a Little Lady, the sequel to his earlier, very successful Three Men and a Baby. But there have also been films that were, in one way or another, disappointments--Her Alibi, An Innocent Man, Quigley Down Under, Mr. Baseball--movies that may have received decent or better reviews, and that may have even sold a fair number of tickets, but that in no way could have been called box-office smashes. Reporters and gossip columnists wondered frequently whether Selleck still had it, whether he could make the jump from small screen to large, whether he was a has-been.
Then, for three years, he stayed away from movies and TV, and the rumors continued: He just wasn't box office anymore, no one wanted him, he couldn't even get arrested in Hollywood. It didn't matter that the rumors weren't true, that he had turned down six movies and had other reasons for staying away, reasons he has only recently begun to discuss.
The hiatus ended last summer with a made-for-television movie for TNT called Broken Trust, in which he played a judge who takes part in a sting against his fellow jurists. The movie aired in August amid much publicity, and the reviews for it and for Selleck were uncommonly good. But that, again, was TV, where it was known he could succeed. The reports over the summer talked of a new Tom Selleck, but riding up in the elevator to his suite on the Carlyle's 33rd floor, attired in casual slacks and rugby shirt, Selleck doesn't look new--only different, only older.
Yet the voice is charming, the smile affecting, the persona calm, relaxed, assured. Entering the suite, walking into the living room, Selleck says he would like to talk about these past three years, to set things straight. Life has not always been easy, he says; there have been money concerns, troubles in his four-film contract with the Disney studio, doubts about his professional future, worries over his ranch in Thousand Oaks, California, where he lives with his wife, British actress Jillie Mack, and their seven-year-old daughter, Hannah. (Selleck also has a 27-year-old son from a previous marriage.) He and his wife have been married eight years, together for 12. He loves to work on the ranch, but a year ago, 53 of its 63 acres burned; fortunately, none of his buildings or animals were harmed.
He sits on a sofa beneath a picture window facing the glowing green of Central Park and the towers of Central Park West. During the interview, Selleck will paint a picture of himself exemplified by his admission: "I've never reacted well to other people telling me what to do."
He smiles. He is not a new Tom Selleck; he is still Tom Selleck the individualist, with the same precise sense of right and wrong he has always possessed, wiser and more experienced. He has come through.
In a way, his decision to take a career break started with Columbus--Christopher Columbus. Selleck had returned after four months in Japan filming Mr. Baseball, a difficult and postponed shoot that would lead to a not very successful movie.
"I hadn't really gotten off the roller coaster since 'Magnum' ended in '88," he says. "I had been trying to cement my place in the movie business. And then my agent called and said I'd been offered a job in Spain, a cameo role as King Ferdinand in Christopher Columbus: The Discovery. He said that Marlon Brando was doing the movie, so I thought, if Brando's doing it, I wanted to do it. I wrestled with it a bit, but not as much as I should have.
"And then, just about the time I was supposed to go over there, Hannah came down with viral pneumonia. The poor thing had a mask on and she was on an IV. That was pretty rough. I delayed my leaving, and the day she was getting out of the hospital was the day I traveled to Spain. But I should have stayed home. I went to Spain really very torn, feeling responsible, because the media had somehow found out about it and were probing around the hospital, and that's pretty tough to deal with."
When Selleck got to Spain, he found even more problems. "The script had been completely changed," he says. "Instead of having six scenes, five of them with Brando, I had something like five scenes, only one with Brando, and he was only lurking in the background. I said to myself, 'This isn't right; they're in breach of contract. This is wrong, and I'm getting out of here.' So I packed. But I talked to my lawyer in L.A., and he said that while they were in breach, they had 24 hours to cure it, and he said I couldn't get on a plane, that they would sue me, because they had financed the movie on my name and Marlon's. I was in this movie for a cup of coffee, maybe three minutes, and I hadn't even allowed them to bill my name above the title, and I had to sit on it and stay there."
When Selleck returned to California after filming, his daughter was fine. "But I didn't feel that going to Spain was the right decision as a father. I should have listened to something inside me. I should have said no to the movie. I hadn't spent enough time at home."
As he is speaking, the door to the suite opens, and, as if on cue, his wife and daughter enter. Jillie is petite, small-boned, with a very British face and smile, and Hannah, thin and blonde, looks very much the seven-year-old she is, with a little bit of both parents in her appearance. Hannah runs over and plants a kiss on her daddy's cheek. He hugs and kisses her in return, and she sits next to him.
"We just came up to say hello," Jillie says. "We're going to go out. We might go to the Statue of Liberty." But Hannah firmly shakes her head no. She wants to stay with her dad.
"Come on, baby," Selleck says to her. "You're going to go with your mom." He turns to his wife. "I have to talk about her some more." He pauses as Jillie and Hannah give him a kiss and leave. Where was he? Ah yes, Christopher Columbus, and the reasons he stayed away from movies for three long years.
"That movie really caused me to reassess things," he says. "When I've talked about this before I've talked in terms of the reviews of the movie, which were pretty bad and very disturbing. But that was six months later, and that wasn't the real key to me reassessing what my priorities were. The real reason was my daughter and not being there for her. I know if she had still been in the hospital I wouldn't have gone; they would have had to come and arrest me to get me out of there. But leaving even when she was discharged certainly was not right."
So he decided to take a year off.
"I just said to myself that the movie stuff was not worth it," he says. "My daughter was three, and it wasn't that I had been a bad father, but at that point in my life I could afford to be home a lot more than I was when my son was that age. In those years, if I got offered a job and it was in any way beneficial to the career I was trying to build, I just went. I had to. Now I could afford to say no." (He has often acknowledged publicly that "Magnum" has made him a millionaire many times over.)
But the year "turned into a lot longer"--three years, to be precise. "During that time," he says, "I had signed a four-picture deal with the Disney studio. I've never talked about this publicly, because I have a relationship with that company, and when you have squabbles they should be settled within the family. But there's a new regime there, and that makes me feel it's reasonably fair now to talk about that stuff.
"After I signed the deal," he says, "things changed at Disney. Jeffrey Katzenberg [chairman of the studio from 1984 to 1994], wrote a famous memo about high costs and high-priced talent. I was pretty high-priced talent. They had to offer me pictures in good faith within a given period of time, pictures they were prepared to make. I looked on this as my annuity. I had worked a long time and I had finally gotten fortunate. I'd been offered multiple-picture deals at many studios, but I felt comfortable with Disney because I knew I was right for about 60 to 70 percent of their product.
"If you look at the movie business," Selleck continues, "you see that basically for every success you're allowed three flops. And I was convinced that at least one of these four films was going to be a success." But times have changed. "I'm not sure that I have that big a grace period now," he says. "I think people are getting smaller and smaller grace periods. But I looked on this deal as security. It was a great deal. But I haven't done a picture for Disney. And now it [has become] a two-picture deal" due to contract stipulations.
The problem, Selleck says, was in the quality of the movies he was presented. "I said no to what they offered me. Almost all of it you won't know about because they never made the pictures. I was wrestling with a lot of demons at that point. I was angry. What they offered had to be a picture they were prepared to make, and what they offered they never made. That's not right. The scripts just weren't good enough. The movies they offered me were $4.1 million deals. There were people in the business who told me I should just call their bluff, that they're going to have to pay me whether or not they make the movie. But I wasn't really interested in getting paychecks for nothing.
"The movie business is increasingly driven by a movie's release date," Selleck adds. "If a studio wants a movie out by Christmas, it has to start at a certain time. And if the script isn't ready, they say they'll fix it. Sometimes that works, but too often it doesn't. I have always been concerned about getting a script right before you start."
Despite the Katzenberg memo on high-priced talent, he says, he doesn't really know why things turned out the way they did at Disney. "I fight very hard against conspiracy theories," he says. "These things happen. There were good movies being made at Disney, but not as many as before. What was coming through their development people was really not good at all, and [Disney] ultimately admitted that there had been something wrong with their development of live-action features, as opposed to their animated films."
While all this was going on, Selleck was receiving other film proposals--but with the kind of roles he had already played; he didn't like being typecast. "I was reading a lot of material, but I just didn't like what I was being offered," he says. "The movie industry is so research-driven, and you get put in a box very quickly. When you do something that succeeds, you get a lot of offers of clones. I don't mind doing movies that are in the same ballpark, but when it's almost like a computer kicked out the right elements, I'm not interested. So one year turned into three."
He stops for a moment. He is apparently feeling a bit uncomfortable about what he is saying. "It's not really my style to talk about this," he says. "But now that I'm coming back, I really felt I had better try to control the perceptions about my coming back with a movie for television. The easy angle is that I couldn't get arrested in Hollywood, and those perceptions can affect your 'hireability.' I can take whatever people say personally; I'm not going to get that hurt by it. But I don't want people to think that I wasn't getting employed and that I'm crawling back to television."
During that time, he kept reading in the gossip columns that he had disappeared professionally, that his career was in limbo, that he no longer had what it took. It wasn't easy. "I could tell you it's business and you don't take it personally," he says, "but that's not true. On my good days it's business, but on most days there's a personal element. I'm not selling vacuum cleaners--I'm selling me. When I talk to young actors, I just say: 'You better be prepared to persevere and have a pretty thick skin, because the rejection is personal.' "
There were money concerns as well. "I live a pretty simple life," he says. "I've been poor. I've been middle class. I've been rich. By most standards it's better to have more money. You live better, of course. But, and I don't know how to explain this to most people, your nut just gets bigger. I don't know what really rich means. Really rich people, I guess, don't worry about that. I had established enough of a lifestyle; it wasn't a globe-trotting lifestyle, but it was a comfortable one, and it was expensive. And I had no money coming in. There were times when I was worried about where to get money for a payment, where I would get the cash for this and that."
He laughs uneasily. "And this was at a time when my family business with my brothers--a real estate development company--needed a certain amount of cash, because we were in a pretty big recession. Our company's doing just fine now, but that required cash, my lifestyle required cash and there was nothing coming in. There were a lot of film offers that were quite tempting for the money, but I was just trying to keep my eye on the fact that if something was not good, I was not going to do it.
"Number one, I didn't want to leave home. I liked being there. My daughter had started in a prekindergarten class. It was a 45-minute drive, so we would fight the traffic every morning to take her to school, and it was great. I was doing all the things I think a parent should do, if they can afford to. It was very hard to leave this situation unless [an offer] was good, and nothing good came along. Meanwhile, everybody was writing that I was going to do a television series, but I'm not. If I did, Hannah would be asleep in the morning when I left for work, and asleep in the evening when I came home. And I don't need to do that. At least not yet."
During those years, Selleck also tried to sell a movie idea to Universal Pictures--a feature in which he would have again played the role of Magnum, but with a switch. In the movie, Magnum would be in the Navy (which he returned to at the end of the series). Selleck's close friend, novelist Tom Clancy, would have written the story. But much to the actor's disappointment, the movie never happened.
"Universal was interested," Selleck says. "I went to them after Mr. Baseball because I heard about all the movies that were being developed based on television series, such as The Fugitive and Maverick. I thought a "Magnum" movie would be a kind of slam dunk, because the show is still seen in 90 countries--we have a huge audience. At first I thought they weren't talking to me because they thought I would hold them up pricewise. So I said I would be fair with them. I thought it was a no-brainer, a no-downside movie.

Hookaroon is rated out of 5 by 10.
Rated 5 out of 5 by mbradford278 from Holy smoke! Oh my goodness, where has this been my whole life? I'm a 49 year old fat man with a bad back and I would refuse to cut haul wood or split wood unless I had help so I didn't have to bend over and pick up the wood. Yesterday, I split over 2 ricks of wood, by myself, and my back didn't even hurt today. This thing is a total back saver! I wish I had known what a hookaroon was before, and I'll never be without one ever again.I love how light it is. I was concerned about the new design. The actual "hook" used to be a solid piece of round stock sharpened to a point. The new one is pointed, flat stock welded to round stock. I am impressed about how strong it is. I didn't baby it. I beat, and pried, and twisted this thing and when I finished, everything was as straight and tight as it was when I started. You even get a spare roll pin. When do you ever get a spare anything these days? I got the Stihl because there is a limited lifetime warranty and I don't foresee ever having to use it but it's nice to know it's there if I need it.The one thing I'd change is I'd make the handle oblong instead of round so you can index it correctly without looking.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ICURN from So disappointed I have always equated Stihl with quality, but not with this product. I used it for a few months and it cracked at the head. I took it to a shop that could weld aluminum and they fixed it. It worked well for several more months and now it's broken again. It broke completely off below the head. I will buy another hookaroon but it will NOT be this one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Getsum from Great Back Saver I bought this because it looked lighter than the wood pickaroon that I just purchased; I have two sons so they can inherit the one I don't use. I was right! This one is much lighter, feels stronger and enables me to use it much longer than the other one. Additionally, it is shorter too which makes it easier to wield. It sometimes takes a bit of effort to dislodge it but that can be controlled by how hard I set it in the wood to begin with; the smaller the wood the less effort needed. Great tool that I am still happy I purchased every time I use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by fishassassin from Light and strong It does way more than what I bought it for. Most useful tool I have ever had for clearing my land. Wish I had it when I used to sell firewood. Now i have one on the tractor and one in the truck. What a life (and back) saver. I looked at one for over 3 years before I purchased because I thought it was too expensive. It only took minutes of use to tell that twice the price would be cheap. So sorry I did not get it 30 years ago.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MrMan from Big Mans Swagger Stick Very comfy to carry, and use, I like to carry it while I hike, and go camping.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mercury from Well worth the price. This hookaroon will pay for itself in unused Tylenol for my back. Cut 16 inch heavy ash, picked up even the large pieces with ease. Great tool, great quality, essential in the woods. Should have bought one 20 years ago.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SkiDog from Addicted to This Tool I picked this up after seeing guys talk about how useful they could be. I immediately saw the build quality and knew this tool simply wouldn't fail. I anticipated I'd get a good bit of use with it, but what I couldn't have predicted is just how indispensable this tool has become. All I can say is if you wonder if you'd get enough use out of it to justify the expense, , ,go ahead and buy it and you will not be disappointed. I use this to load/unload split fire wood, , carry rounds before splitting, , to help on the log splitter, , and to even move larger pieces around the work site. Don't know how I got along without it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ForestBob from Simple, but useful tool This Hookaroon (aka Pickaroon) is nothing new as far as design and function and It isn't the cheapest hookaroon out there, but it is very well built and built to last. The "Stihl orange makes it easy to find. I use it to pick up and move cut wood and to roll and drag logs around. Besides my chain saw and axe, I believe it is an essential tool in the forest.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Popular searches on the Internet include Google ( GOOG) after news the company will cut 1,200 additional jobs at Motorola Mobility. The cuts are expected to take place in the U.S., China and India. The move is a continuation of the reductions the company announced last summer. Four thousand jobs were cut at Motorola Mobility last August. The Wall Street Journal published an email that was sent to Motorola staff notifying them of the cuts. The email from management said, "Our costs are too high, we're operating in markets where we're not competitive and we're losing money." Google purchased Motorola for $12.5 billion last year. It was its largest acquisition to date.
Merck ( MRK) is trending as the company plans to close its manufacturing facility in Ireland by the end of 2015, a move that will result in the loss of 280 jobs. The company said staff reductions will begin to take place at the end of next year and activities at the facility will wind down in 2014. It plans to transfer the manufacture of products from the Ireland facility to other locations.
Subaru is another popular search. The automaker is recalling about 47,000 vehicles with remote starters that are at risk of starting on their own. Vehicles equipped with a remote engine starter can be started if the driver pushes a button, even if he is not inside. Subaru is concerned that key fobs that become damaged or dropped could wind up starting the vehicle when the button has not been pushed. Subaru said the engine may start and run for up to 15 minutes inadvertently, until the battery in the key fob dies or the vehicle runs out of fuel. This could lead to increased safety risk when the vehicle is parked in an enclosed area where a build-up of carbon monoxide could become dangerous.

– Staring down a three-game sweep at the hands of its fiercest rival, No. 10 Duke was tough enough to fight its way through to the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament championship game.
Tricia Liston
scored 17 points and
Ka'lia Johnson
hit the go-ahead free throws with 44.1 seconds left to help the Blue Devils rally late to beat No. 13 North Carolina 66-61 in Saturday's semifinals.
Johnson's two free throws broke a 60-all tie for the second-seeded Blue Devils (27-5), who played with veteran poise late to hold off freshman star Diamond DeShields and the sixth-seeded Tar Heels (24-9).
Now, despite being down four point guards from the start of the season - including former league player of the year
Chelsea Gray
- the Blue Devils are within a win of their ninth ACC title.
"We've gone through a lot as a team and it hasn't really, I don't think, worn us down emotionally," senior
Haley Peters
said. "It's just made us really become a closer team and really, we just want to be as good as we can be. ... We've been energized by it, I think."
Duke, which used just eight players, faces No. 2 Notre Dame in Sunday's final. The unbeaten Fighting Irish beat the Blue Devils by a combined 32 points in the regular-season meetings.
"It's a great opportunity for us, a really great opportunity for us because they're very, very good," Duke coach
Joanne P. McCallie
said. "They're definitely picked to beat us, obviously. They're ahead of us, they have been all year. And that's just the way it is."
At the end, it was lesser-known players like Johnson and
Oderah Chidom
stepping up to the foul line to cap Duke's comeback and put away the Tar Heels. Johnson was shooting 67.6 percent from the line and Chidom 55.1, but they made six straight free throws in the final minute.
DeShields scored 25 points and hit five 3-pointers to lead the Tar Heels, with four of those coming after halftime. But she missed a 3 for the tie with about 10 seconds left after Chidom hit two free throws to make it 64-61.
"I thought it was going in," DeShields said. "I wanted it. I wanted the ball. Actually, I knew it was going in. It came in and came out."
DeShields also committed a technical foul for taunting Peters after hitting a jaw-dropping step-back 3 with 8:08 left, one of a series of small mistakes that proved costly when Duke pushed ahead late.
UNC made just 2 of 7 free throws in the final 6:14, including reserve N'Dea Bryant making 1 of 2 after being fouled on a jumper after Johnson's go-ahead free throws. The Tar Heels also somehow managed to have the wrong people taking shots at key moments, with Latifah Coleman missing a driving basket as the shot clock wound down in a tie game and Bryant being bailed out on her quick jumper by drawing
Elizabeth Williams
' fifth foul.
"We made some mistakes down in the end we'd like to be able to replay," UNC associate head coach Andrew Calder said. "But you don't get to do that, so we'll learn from that and we'll drive on."
The Tar Heels won the first meeting in Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium 89-78, their first win in the building since 2008. DeShields went for 30 points in that game, then went for 18 in last weekend's 64-60 home win to close the regular season.
North Carolina was poised to add another win against Duke, with DeShields knocking down three 3s and fellow freshman Allisha Gray one of her own to break a 31-all halftime tie and give UNC a 43-35 lead with 16:42 left.
But Duke slowly climbed back in it. Liston made just two shots after halftime, but the second was a huge 3-pointer at the 2:02 mark to cut the Tar Heels' lead to 59-58. Then Williams scored on a stickback to tie the game at 60 with 1:18 left.
Williams finished with 12 points, nine rebounds and three blocks, including a big one on Stephanie Mavunga's stickback attempt on Coleman's missed drive. Mavunga fouled Johnson on the scramble for the rebound to set up the go-ahead free throws.
Chidom hit the final two free throws with 9.2 seconds left after DeShields' last miss to seal Duke's trip to the final.

SANTA CRUZ - Sentencing of an 18-year-old Watsonville gang member was suspended Tuesday after his brother and two teen girls in the audience became disruptive and were escorted from the courtroom.
They didn't go quietly and ended up screaming obscenities at a bailiff as they strode down the hallway, out of the building and into the parking lot.
Andre Julian Lopez, who was to be sentenced to 10 years for burglary and gang participation, and apparently thought it was the last time he would see his family for a while, also became belligerent and challenged the deputy to a fight.
Lopez is 5 feet, 6 inches tall and 115 pounds, per jail records; the bailiff is much bigger.
Lopez was removed from the courtroom and retired Judge Stephen Sillman, who was filling in for Judge Ariadne Symons, rescheduled the sentencing hearing for 9 a.m. Wednesday.
The altercation began when the three in the audience began talking with Lopez, who was sitting at the edge of the "in-custody box" closest to the audience. Signs in the courtroom and at the door prohibit communication with prisoners. But the three Lopez supporters clearly resented the bailiff's first order to be quiet.
Lopez was arrested in September, a few days after a man vacationing at a home on Via Palo Alto in Aptos returned to the home and saw two mean near the front door holding a duffel bag that belonged to his daughter, sheriff's deputies said.
One of the men threatened the older man with a knife before they jumped in a Toyota Camry with three others inside and fled, throwing the knife out the window, deputies said.
Deputies caught two of them on Airport Boulevard after the driver crashed into some bushes beside the road, deputies said.
Lopez' fingerprints were found and he was arrested a few days later, said prosecutor Charlie Baum.
Lopez recently admitted to burglary and gang participation in exchange for a 10-year prison sentence, Baum said. Lopez had been charged with a second residential burglary in Aptos and possession of stolen property from a third theft case, he said.
Lopez' attorney, Jesse Ruben, said his client could serve just 50 percent of the sentence. Asked to comment about the courtroom outbursts, Ruben said only that his client was young and under stress.
The other two in the case, Jonathan Ayala, 20, and Gabriel Jaime Maez, 19, received five-year prison sentences, Baum said.

i don't know if they are doing it where you live but, panda express is currently doing a buffet thing here in bloomington. now is the time to chow down baby! lol
I broke down and finally ordered Dominos over the weekend. First time I've had their pizza in about 7 years I'm guessing. But I thought I would give it a try since it is cheap and new.
I think I am a little bit of a snob when it comnes to pizza. I don't like Pizza Hut, old Dominos, dispise Papa Johns.
But the new Dominos is OK, much better than it used to be. The crust is actually quite good and by far the best part of their new pizza. Light, flavorful, crispy and overall very good. The sauce was OK, I like that it had a little kick to it.
The cheese I thought was just not very good, but I've had worse. The sausage however was horrible.
Overall I would say yes it is better, and probably better than Pizza Hut and Papa Johns, but no where nearly as good as Bazbeaux, Some Guys, Puchini's, Pizzology and several other place.
So if you want something cheap to feed a bunch of people, OK, otherwise I don't know why anyone would order Dominos
So I tried Dawson's in Speedway and I was still not impressed with that place. I went there about a year and left that place and swore I would never go back. At that time they refused to bring everyone's food out at the same time. They would just bring out each dish when it was done cooking. So my friends and I spent a lot of time just waiting for our last friend to get his meal and eat it.
The service was a bit better, but the food is just so bland. The decor and ambiance is nice, but I think it tries to hard to come off as an upscale restaurant.
Went a new bar type place in Carmel called The Stacked Pickle today, alright for bar food. Pretty reasonable prices and a fairly diverse menu, plus the service was very quick for lunch.
Thank you for mentioning Pizzology UB. I haven't gotten to try it since I've been back from school, but I desperately want to and seeing you mention it reminded me to.
I think I would like it.
Also RE: Sushi places in Indy
Tried H20 in Broad Ripple over Easter break, very good.
Pizzology, had it for lunch today. The toppings are fresh and delicious, but the crust does have a burnt taste, especially at the edges. I left most of my crust ends on my plate. Very good, but I wish they would maybe burn it just a little less.
Had lunch in Bloomington on Saturday (actually kind of an early dinner) with some friends at a place called Finch's. Tapas and individual pizzas, sandwiches etc. were what they were serving in the afternoon, but they looked like they had a good dinner menu. Right on kirkwood ave. next to Kilroy's very good, and a nice change of place to the Kirkwood. Another solid restaurant offering in BTown.
Hit this place up for a veggie burger and baked sweet potato fries here and there. Stuff isn't too bad for you, very fresh and has great veggie burgers (which is important to me because I'm a wussy vegetarian). If any of you are in Boston or the Boston area, find one.
Have been to all of these place in the last few weeks:
Would recommend all of them for our Boston area readers.

I went to an Asian fusion place last summer in Boston. I stayed at the Seaport hotel and it was only a couple of blocks from the hotel - OMG it was good. Very nice area, probavbly very new
That area has a lot of new stuff. Most of my experience in that part of Boston involves either going on booze cruises or going to the Harpoon brewery for free tastings at 4pm on weekdays.
Don't let that short paragraph fool you - I don't have a drinking problem. Yet.
I'll bump this back up after reading the whole thing. My wife and i will be in Indy next Thursday night before coming home and would love to go to a local place for dinner. It definitely will not be pizza, we are having that earlier in the week, or BBQ. A couple of the Italian places sound good. We are looking for a casual place. Any place already in the thread or not mentioned yet that we should go to? We are staying on the west side, but that doesn't limit us to where we will journey to have a great meal!
Mama Corallas in Broad ripple, 54th street
my favorite is Rosemary Chicken Lasagna
But everything there is good, plus a like the atmosphere
Last edited by Unclebuck; 07-15-2010 at 09:14 PM.
That is good stuff.
I like this place. Been there a ton of times (though only once in the last few years). It's just a couple blocks from where my parents live (note - please don't harass my parents). Good stuff. Taken a few ladies there over the years and it always, uh, worked out okay.
I like Bravo's. Its not a local joint by any means and it may be a little cla$$ier than what you asked for... so really it has none of the qualities that you asked for but it IS good!
I'll think about it some more and get back to you.
Ken - I have been to both of the following places (with the caveat that I have not been recently) and recall enjoying them both:
I tried Pizzology again last night. This time we ate in instead of carryout.
Better. The pizza was much less burnt that last time.
Still, though, not one of my favorites.
On the plus side, they had 4 very good beers on tap. I had 3 of them, one twice - my wife was driving.
You're caught up in the Internet / you think it's such a great asset / but you're wrong, wrong, wrong
All that fiber optic gear / still cannot take away the fear / like an island song
- Jimmy Buffett
Went to Tony Sacco's Coal Oven Pizza last night. It is at the Clay Terrace mall in Carmel. Let me first say there are sooooo many really good pizza places in Carmel - the list of really good places is endless.
And I would say that this place is very good. Not my favorite, but very good. The style is I suppose New York style. Thin crust. Sort of reminds me of a really good pizza place that you used to see in mall food courts. You know the kind where the pizza is already cooked and you order and they throw it in the oven to re-heat. Similar to that but better.
I'll eat their again, but it won't replace Bazbeaux as my favorite or Pizzology as my second favorite.
The price is simlar to Bazbeaux - not cheap.
This is a really old post, but I guess I missed it. UB, I think you answered your own query in there. To put it in basketball terms, Domino's is Danny Granger, and Bazbeaux is a younger Paul Pierce. You are going to get, say 20% more production, but you're going to pay 50% more for it.
I do Bazbeaux and The Ordinary when I want a freaking outstanding pizza. For a typical Friday night pizza, however, Domino's is a very tasty pizza and it's dirt cheap with a coupon. I guess, for me, Domino's has superior value.
Bub's Cafe for breakfast over the weekend. I enjoyed it alot. Pancakes were good, waffles were good, sausages were excellent, their donut holes were outstanding. (no I didn't order all that myself) but tried it all.
Monical's Pizza @ 141st & 37. Had eaten there before, but had their lasagna and breadsticks. Their breadsticks are really interesting and tasty, with a twist - they're sprinkled with kosher salt, and are excellent when hot out of the oven. They don't travel as well, but they're still pretty good when they cool down.
Me & some friends were watching the Colts game last night, so we ordered two pizza - one thin crust and one pan. The thin crust was excellent, surprisingly loaded with toppings and cheese, and a nice tasty crisp crust filled edge-to-edge. I tend to prefer thin crust (with a few exceptions), so I was surprised when I found the pan as good as the thin. Again, just filled with toppings and cheese, this crust was dough-ier and really good. We had the "Mighty Meat" for the thin (Sausage, Pepperoni, Bacon, Ham) and the Buffalo Chicken (Chicken, Buffalo Sauce, Ranch) for the pan, and we all agreed they were both ridiculously good.
It's a touch pricey ($21 for a 16" Specialty Thin or 14" Specialty Pan, $6 for Family Pack of Breadsticks (10 sticks and 2 sauces)), but well worth it.
They also have a really good French style salad dressing there that I would recommend. Monical's is generally my carry out place right now. Convenient and good. Yeah, it's a bit pricey, but I think you get what you pay for. The toppings are always very fresh.

Seaside officials will deliver a pitch Tuesday to the Del Rey Oaks City Council to provide sewer service to the city's undeveloped Fort Ord territory.
Del Rey Oaks has about 360 acres of former Army land, and the Seaside County Sanitation District and Marina Coast Water District want to provide sewer service to Fort Ord lands slated for growth in Del Rey Oaks, Seaside and Marina .
The Seaside district serves Seaside, Del Rey Oaks and Sand City under contract with the city of Seaside.
Marina Coast provides sewer service to Marina and former Army service areas on Fort Ord. Marina Coast is seeking to expand its service area in Fort Ord.
Six years ago, the Seaside district told Marina Coast not to count on serving Del Rey Oaks and Seaside near Gen. Jim Moore Boulevard.
In 2011, the Seaside district declared its intent to expand its service area onto Fort Ord to the Local Agency Formation Commission, which sets government agency boundaries. The same year, Marina Coast prepared environmental documents to annex all Fort Ord lands.
In a report prepared for Tuesday's meeting, Seaside officials ask Del Rey Oaks to weigh in on the proposed expansion rivalry.
Earlier this month, Seaside City Manager John Dunn told the Seaside City Council "it is imperative to establish which utility district" will serve those Fort Ord areas.
Also Tuesday, the Del Rey Oaks council will consider:
· An appeal by Katrina Nawrocki, owner of the Inquisitive Quest Learning Center, whose application for a sign on the Del Rey Oaks sign at Highway 218 and Rosita Road was denied by the Planning Commission.
· Hear a report on options for the former golf driving range.
Larry Parsons can be reached at 646-4379 or firstname.lastname@example.com. If you go
·What: Del Rey Oaks City Council
·When: 6 p.m., Tuesday
·Where: Council chambers, 650 Canyon Del Rey Road, Del Rey Oaks

Running, Walking, Singing, and Memories: Saturday at Big Bashby Jim Amidon • June 5, 2004 Share:
The Class of 1954 competes in the Alumni Chapel Sing
John Burrell made short work of the Fun Run, turning four miles in just over 26 minutes on a cool, sunny morning at J. Owen Huntsman Track.
Richard Moak '69 and Mike Medler '74 led a fascinating colloqium session on the criminal justice system, and later trustees spoke about the state of the College.
The highlight of the day was the first ever Alumni Chapel Sing competition. More than 200 alumni took to the steps of the Chapel to reenact the Chapel Sing of their freshman year at Wabash. The classes of 1954 and 1969 look to be neck-and-neck for the championship.
A lunch on the mall followed by class photographs kept the afternoon festive. And prior to evening class receptions and dinners, the Class of 1954 was hosted by President and Mrs. Ford at an Elston Homestead reception.
