When you consider the idea of developing content for your website what is the first thing that you think about?
What you can learn about writing for the internet?
Is it different than writing for a magazine?
Is it different than writing for a comic book?
The answer is yes and yes but it may not be for the reasons you think…
Writing for the web and beyond.
It used to be that publishing an article was something only done at a local newspaper, where you might see a story about a snow storm or a sports game, however, things have changed, the topics that writers have to write about are endless.
Do you write articles for a living?
Writing and blogging, blogging and writing, research, writing more, reading more, does this sound like you?
Writing articles, commonly called article marketing, has long been touted, as some kind of magic bullet, for marketing ideas and products.
However, how effective it may or may not be is debatable in fact just last week I came across a series that advertised the secret to article marketing, the fact is that article marketing is as article marketing does, make sense?
Probably not.
This is the topic, and how it relates to operating and publishing content on your own website.
The general idea for article marketing is to write keyword specific articles, which attracts readers (hopefully interested in buying something)
Which you conveniently have supplied links to affiliate products which you would receive a commission if you manage to attract enough people interested in buying and most importantly interested in buying right then, because most affiliate programs have moved to this time limit thing which sort of reduces the amount of commissions you can get.
So, the question remains, is Article Marketing profitable?
The answer is yes, it is profitable, but it remains unclear to whom receives the most profit, the writer, the affiliate or the platform where the article is published.
The answer may be a little of both, so lets examine the profit potential here.
- The Product owner is setup to be win the most here because they have the product.
- The publisher gets the traffic and perhaps some advertising money plus they usually get a little on the back end.
- The writer is last in this examination, and usually puts in a lot of work to produce the article.
So all in all just who is setup to be the most profitable?
In a nut shell, the product owner, is the one that wins here in this scenario, however, not everyone is cut out to be a product owner, and more importantly not every one is able to create a product.
Product creators are people who can think creatively and consistently product both content and products that are in demand and are in essense, are the movers and shakers of the internet Marketing universe.
Consider, starting at the bottom and making your way to the top, that way you know the business from the bottom to the top and back again.

The Human Brain Book
by Rita Carter. Dorling Kindersley, 2009 ($40)
Don't let the rich, colorful illustrations fool you into thinking this book is for kids. The Human Brain Book packs an astonishing amount of information between its oversized covers, proving interesting and informative for both experts brushing up on the basics and newbies looking to learn more about the brain.
This gem can serve as a reference to answer brain-related questions, from the complex organ's function and structure to the disorders that can afflict it. The book's innovative graphics and diagrams also provide a unique way of looking at the brain; for example, one section separates and spreads out the layers in a graphical head, allowing the reader to view the dissected anatomy comprising the head and neck, including the brain stem, the skull and the intricate lace of nerves woven just beneath the scalp.
The Brain Book is also just plain fun to browse, thanks to the variety of topics relevant to each of us in real life, from the sections about how we sense pain, to the neurobiology of desire and reward, to how the creative process can change the brain's chemistry. Fun might not be a term that comes to mind often when considering reference books; that's why The Human Brain Book proves itself unique among educational texts.

William and Kate's First Baby Boy: Top Nameberry Picks
Yesterday we came up with our suggestions for the name of the first baby daughter of Prince William and his bride. With the variety of girl name possibilities, it was relatively easy—almost an embarrassment of riches—but with the boys, there's a far less fertile field, especially if we stick within our strict confines of names used in British royal history. (Thank goodness for all those middle names!)
Most of the kings' and princes' names were repeated over and over again–Edward (William's uncle), Charles (Wills' father), George (numerous ancestors), Albert, Arthur John, and the name William itself.
But of course, whatever name they choose, kings oftendo take a different name to rule by than their given first name. As seen in The King's Speech, William's great grandfather George VI had been Prince Albert (Bertie) before he was crowned, with George being his third middle name.
That said, we were able to unearth a few more unusual boy choices, all of which stay within the royal lines:
Augustus—Augustus was the middle name of George II, father of Amelia. An imposing Latin name of the type bolder parents on both sides of the Atlantic are now daring to reconsider, Augustus can easily be unbuttoned with the friendly nicknames Augie or Gus.
Christian—A middle name of Prince Albert, son of Edward VII, Christian is currently a Top 25 name in the US, with many parents choosing it over the long-running Christopher. Once considered too pious for most people's tastes, its image has changed partly due to such actors as Christian Bale and Christian Slater and fashion gods Christian Dior and Christian Louboutin.

You can use this or use the iKlear to clean your screen. This is great or you can buy iKlear for twice as much but you get about 4X more.

Do not use tissue because it will not work well, if you buy a screen protector it will usually come with a good cloth, I use the 99.9% bacteria spray and then use my cloth.

Online Reservations
For our anniversary week we went to both Pazo and Linwoods. When it comes to food, Linwoods was the clear winner. My wife had the Mediterranean salad and the shrimp and grits. I enjoyed the lobster tempura and the scallops/duck salad. We finished with the chocolate bread pudding and dark smores pie (if you have to choose between these two, go for the bread pudding). As it happens I also had ordered duck at Pazo - but the quality of the meat/cooking at Linwoods was notably superior. We seemed to have a problem with a waitress who was visibly impatient with us as first-time diners. Our questions seemed to get in the way of her efficiency. Management was responsive when we expressed concern and on the whole it was a great night
Linwoods is the very best restaurant for terrific food, good service and a wonderful relaxing meal. Of course there are other good restaurants in Baltimore. But regardless of the day, Linwoods maintains the same high standard. We had dinner on a Wednesday evening. the restaurant was still full enough that there was energy in the room. The gazpacho is excellent, full of chunky bits of vegetables and topped with great crab. Salads are always fresh with interesting ingredients. And Baltimore Magazine aside, these are the BEST crabcakes in town. The potato straw is addictive. My godson had the burger and, as always, it was thick, juicy and accompanied by the very best fries. The back 9 cocktail is a perfect warm weather drink.
A lovely lunch time escape. Great food, nice outdoor setting. Attentive wait staff.
Linwoods continues to be one of my top restaurant favorites.
always good- consistent quality of food/service. Favorite place.
We have lived within a 10 minute from this restaurant for the past 15+ years and never gave it a try - what a mistake! We celebrated our anniversary there onFriday evening, the maryland crab soup is the best I've had, the panko crusted crabcake and old bay popcorn was wonderful, the espressor crusted rib eye and tenderloin were delicious! We'll be back :)
We were long time fans of this restaurant. At some point during last couple of years we were a bit disappointed at our experiences here. But last visit showed us that they are back to the outstanding tastes and great service (if you ask for Stacey or Carey). So we are going to be back pretty soon.
Had lunch at Linwood's with friends who had never been there. They remarked that it looked like a New York restaurant. Always classy with solid food and good service. Nice to have a place that is still white table cloth and proper service at lunch. Great for business lunches and for ladies who lunch.
We went to celebrate our anniversary and always find Linwood's enjoyable. Carrie was our waitress and has been many times that we have been to Linwood's - she is wonderful and always pleasant and accommodating. Thanks again - we will definitely be back.
Food is the main reason why I enjoy linwoods. Great service always.
Linwood's, in my book, is the top restaurant in Baltimore in terms of consistently high quality, imaginative dishes, impeccable service, and a sense of personal hospitality. The owner, Woodie, is a constant presence and relates personally to many of the patrons.
You know at Linwoods anything you order will be very good. The wait staff is always attentive and pleasant, and the chef often comes to your table to make sure you are enjoying your food. The sound level is reasonable and the ambiance is charming. Leaves little to the imagination.
Great experience, as always--wonderful crabcakes and everything else, too!
The portions are sensible, the prices are reasonable, the menu creative and they are consistent. Highly recommended,
This was our first experience with Lindwoods. We enjoyed the food, the service and the ambiance, but we never judge a restaurant based on one experience, so we will return and try it again. Then we will be able to provide better feedback. But for now, it is a keeper and we plan to return soon. We are hoping for consistency.
Fine dining fit for any special occasion. Great service. Great food. Not cheap, however.
I have dined at Linwoods numerous times over the years and have never had a bad dining experience. Linwoods catered our wedding and it was first class. I just can't stop saying enough good things about Linwoods.
Loved the selection on the menu as well as the wine list.
Linwood's was my husbands' choice for his birthday celebration. We had a grand time!. Wonderful experience. Have dined at Linwood's many times and we've never been disappointed. The food, atmosphere,service are all superb. Appreciated the tableside visit by Linwood to check on our experience.
Dining at Linwood's is never a disappointment. Cuisine and service are top of the line, always a reliable experience in fine dining.
another great time at Linwoods , met up with some friends had a great dinner Crab cakes and Rib Eye steak , and started out with a pizza appetizer , great service and was glad i made reservation in advance , Linwoods was full when we left . Oh and don't forget the desert , al the deserts are great but , they added a Cinnamon roll with ice cream very good served warm .
Our meals looked just like the food on the cover of Gourmet magazine. They tasted even better than they looked. Atmosphere was elegant & service refined. Many special orders were accommodated accurately without a blink. Servers efficently delivered a pleasant dining experience: 1 person takes orders, making sure you're satisfied, 1 person fills water, & 1 person delivers a hot meal (fairly quickly, tho we were there for 2 hours enjoying ourselves). The place runs like clockwork - tho not rushed, we were politely told the next seating was about to arrive. While prices were at the higher end of the spectrum, you get what you pay for and it was worth every penny. A wonderful experience for all our senses - I can't wait to visit Linwoods again!
We started by sharing the fried calamari as an appetizer. Be warned that they drench it in the sauce, which I had expected to be on the side. They had to bring us another as my husband can't tolerate spicy foods. Without the sauce, the squid was tasteless until we added a little salt. My husband loved his sea bass, and my mother her grilled scallops and duck breast. My liver was nothing special and drowning in the huge amount of sauteed onions. We all loved our desserts, the apple tart, the pecan tart, and the cinnamon roll.
Two words... Lobster Tempura - two more words... honey butter.... two more.... soooo good. Scallop and Duck salad was also very good. Not a huge fan of the sesame "taco" that holds the avo/tuna/wasabi stack. A thin crispy rice wafer may work better....? All in all, Linwoods is exactly what you expect it to be - delicious food, attentive/professional/friendly service, and food priced at the slightly higher end.
Always consistently excellent. A regular stop for us!
We had the tenderloin w/potato puree and onion rings..it was wonderful. I'm coming back there this Sunday.
I have dined at Linwood's many times, and each time is a culinary adventure. The ambience is wonderful, the greeters and servers accommodating and welcoming, the menu offers a wide variety of promising and never disappointing selections, and the food is outstanding. We are so lucky that Linwood's is located in our neighborhood.
Thank you for another wonderful experience at one of our favorite places.
Food was great, Service was better. Stacey is the best.
All in all, Linwoods continues to be the best restaurant in the area. the service is outstanding, both at the server level and in the kitchen where they will happily accommodate your needs. the new autumn salad is a delightful combination of textures and flavors that are perfectly layered. the fall bronzini preparation is wonderful! And in the happiest of times, there are two new desserts on the menu that are really good. the cinnamon roll with ice cream brings back my childhood. the cold pumpkin bread pudding has a much better texture cold. Folks are still working on a dark chocolate dessert-hope springs eternal- but until then i can be a happy camper with the two new ones.
The salad, crab soup and desert was very good. The tenderloins were perfectly cooked. A sauce would have been nice. Vegetables were cold and tasteless. The wine was ok but overpriced.
Enjoyed a delicious crabcake and beet salad. The house merlot was very good and the dessert was excellent--chocolate sunday.
Linwoods never stops being a great place to go. Great atmosphere and amazing food. Loved the Fried Oyster appetizer. I hadn't had the crabcakes in a while; still the best! The pumpkin bread pudding was fabulous!!
The relatively new prix fixe dinner menu helps moderate the cost while preserving the excellent overall experience. Always a pleasure to dine at Linwoods...they care. Even mid-week it was crowded!!
Loved the on-line reservations. This let me know exactly what was available and the time...great. The food was good and with the three course menu very affordable. Would recommend over and over! Many thanks to all the staff and chefs! Patty
The food is simply delicious! The lobster tempura is a must have (its decadant & rich so share!) The roasted chicken with the whipped pommes & mushrooms is divine & the crab cakes are seasoned perfect & all jumbo lump meat. They have great drinks (peach Bellini!) & delicious steaks, salads (the wedge with warm bacon was my choice) & desserts (pecan tart!)The service is also excellent!
Consistently good! Never a disappointment at Linwoods.
Always finest most well prepared food, menu selection, service and ambience of any restaurant in Baltimore / Washington area. There is NO other place that even comes close. I could dine there every week forever !
I had guests from out of town, so Linwoods seemed a great spot to show off a terrific local restaurant. they were knocked out impressed with the crab cakes. They didn't think they could finish two but they were so good, they were gone! So there Baltimore Magazine-shows what you don't know. the butternut squash soup is back and i love the new toppings. it is better than ever. the mushroom arugula salad was a huge hit. We tried the new cold pumpkin pudding and it was great. I understand the cinnamon roll has changed so will need to check that out next time. My guests were so impressed with the quality of the service and the warmth of the entire staff. Wonderful evening. If you want to impress- go to Linwoods
Always the same....great food, great service. Always a delicious meal.
We've never had a bad meal there. Every component of every dish done beautifully.
This was a night out for my dad's birthday and it was a great choice. The service was excellent but also friendly. The food was great.
I must confess I don't get to Linwoods often, having moved out of the area quite a few years ago. I recently rediscovered this "old friend" and find it better than ever - well worth the trip back. Recently I enjoyed an outstanding lunch, and a couple of weeks before, a simply delicious dinner. The service on both occasions only added to my overall pleasure - attentive, courteous, and excellent. I shall happily add Linwood's to my list of Favorite Baltimore Restaurants!
We went there for our anniversary, upon the recommendation of a friend. We were very pleased. We even got a complimentary glass of champagne!
Linwoods is the most consistent restaurant in Baltimore. We've been dining here for at least 15 years and we always loved it. The food is always delicious, beautilully presented and the stuff is very attentive. For the first time we sat at the counter and watched the food preparation. It was beautifully orchestrated and synchronized. What a treat!
The greatest challenge was choosing what to order. We landed on the ribs and autumn salad for apps and grouper and sea bass for entrees. The highlight was certainly the sea bass. Absolutely perfect. The other dishes were also quite tasty. The real treat of the meal was the seating. There is a counter facing the open kitchen. We sat there and watched the chefs cook the meals. Aside from sushi restaurants and diners, I've never seen this before. It's a perfect option for foodies and anyone who wants to kick up their home cooking skills.
Great atmosphere with a touch of wonderment - great series of dining experience. 1 - Comfortable bar while you wait - knowledgeable tenders and bright attitudes 2 - Menu(s) - have spectacular seasonal-type courses/wine 3 - The crème (pardon my American french) was the presentation(s) of the dishes & the follow-through of outstanding , consistent flavor profiles. Great evening!
Linwood's is my go-to restaurant, both for special occasions or just a nice lunch out with a friend. You don't have to spend a fortune (though you can if you choose to) and I've never had less than a delicious meal and outstanding service.
This was the first time that we had every been to Linwoods and it certainly won't be our last. From the delicious fried tempura lobster to the perfectly cooked sea bass to the melt in your mouth steak, Linwoods is a place that should be visited without question. I would highly recommend Linwoods. My wife and I even got a chance to meet Linwood himself and he is an amazing person.
Had shrimp and grits. Some of the best. I have eaten here three or four times and always had a great meal. I live in downtown so I am unlikely to go to the burbs for dinner. It is worth the trip for this place!!!!!!

What effect does the depth of the body of a mandolin have on the sound?
It seems that some European makers' models, and the Brazilian bandolims look to be deeper than most A- and F-style mandolins.
And, is the effect of the body's depth the same or different from what the volume of space inside the body 'box' does with the sound?
I don't really know what I'm talking about here, so I'm looking forward to being 'set straight' on this stuff... <GG>

McNamara, a member of the Iron Workers Union, planted 16 sticks of 80-percent grade dynamite in an empty ink barrel in the Los Angeles Times building. To insure maximum damage, McNamara found his way to the basement and opened the gas valves. At exactly 1:07am, the bomb exploded engulfing the building in a massive fireball that turned the graveyard shift into a...

New statin guidelines something to chew on
Americans believe in science. Not global warming or any of that hooey. We believe in comfort science, the kind that lets us keep doing exactly what we want to do without any consequences. That's why no one pays attention to global warming or fracking or any of those things Goody Two-shoes scientists are always blubbering about as they try to save the planet or polar bears or some bird you've never seen and wouldn't know if it built a nest in your...

Doug McIntyre: Halloween is a time for dress up
American holiday's fall into five general categories: praying holidays, barbecue holidays, shopping holidays, booze holidays and candy holidays.There's a bit of overlap, Easter for example, is a praying holiday but also a major candy holiday. New Year's Eve, St. Patrick's Day and Cinco de Mayo are the big booze festivals, while it's practically a felony to eat anything other than burgers and dogs off the grill on the Fourth of July, Memorial Day and...
Government and politics
Bad times for politicians, both national and local
It hasn't been a good week for politicians. First came the pathetic end to the slow-motion train wreck known as the government shutdown. Then came an avalanche of scandals closer to home. We begin in Washington. President Barack Obama was elected in 2008 on a pledge to make health care accessible and affordable to the estimated 47 million uninsured. After a bitter, exceptionally partisan battle, the Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obamacare,"...

Quality of life in L.A.? The handwriting is on the wall
It's not often the Los Angeles City Council puts money in your pocket, but if Councilman Jose Huizar gets his way your home won't just be your castle it could be your casino.Sadly, Los Angeles has lost its once cherished title of mural capital, so Huizar has concocted the brilliant idea of undoing a 2003 ban and allowing spray painted murals not just in alleyways and commercial businesses but on the walls of single-family homes as well.Of course, not that long ago...

Artifacts on the Road
A gallery of traveling air- and spacecraft loaned out by the Smithsonian.
- By Heather Goss
- AirSpaceMag.com, September 18, 2012
Langley Aerodrome Number 6
Starting in 1891, aviation pioneer and third Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Samuel Langley, built a series of unmanned flying machines he called "Aerodromes." They were powered by steam and gasoline engines and tested over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C. Model Number 5 made the first successful flight, and Number 6, which had slightly rounder wings, followed soon after. This early aviation gem is on display in the University of Pittsburgh's Wesley Posvar Hall.

Lake County may be borrowing funds from a neighbor. Published reports say Lake County Board of Commissioners President Gerry Scheub has been in talks with Porter County officials about the possibility of a 15-million-dollar loan to prevent a budget shortfall. Such a loan, they say, would likely be a lower interest rate than what could be found going the traditional route. Porter County received over 170-million dollars from the sale of Porter Memorial Hospital several years ago.

The situation on the ground today is that effectively all that is left is piles of machines - some with fast interconnects, but most with just ethernet, and all with a higher-than-we'd-like failure rate. But we're still constrained with a programming model that is designed to take the same program and run it efficiently on a T3E or a cluster of PCs. I'd also bet that if we looked at most MPI programs out there, they really could be restructured very easily to take advantage of a dynamic environment, if MPI properly exposed that to them (and MPI-2 is _not_ good enough) >From looking at Don's earlier post, I was thinking that PVM gave us a lot of what was listed (and the LAM underneath LAM/MPI, and HARNESS, etc). If the OpenMPI effort decides to revise some of the MPI standard, I hope they focus on exposing the cluster reality that most parallel programs run on, and don't worry so much about making it run efficiently on machines that no longer exist. -Erik

'Energy Independence' is a Farce
From Reuters
By Ben Adler
It can be hard to find areas of agreement between the presidential candidates on economic or domestic policy. Tuesday night's debate, though, revealed one exception: energy policy. Alas, what it also revealed is that both President Obama and Governor Romney are making their policies based on a false premise, and they are pandering to Americans' ignorance instead of telling them the truth.
The second question in the debate at Hofstra University came from audience member Phillip Tricolla, and was directed to Obama: "Your energy secretary, Steven Chu, has now been on record three times stating it's not policy of his department to help lower gas prices. Do you agree with Secretary Chu that this is not the job of the Energy Department?" The premise that the Energy Department can lower gas prices is incorrect. But Obama chose not to confront Tricolla with the hard truth — that global economic forces have put gasoline prices on a long-term upwards trajectory, and that trajectory is beyond our government's control.

The Ultimate Washington Wine Club
Thirty years! Twenty plus wines in the catalogue! Pioneer in Washington's premier Red Mountain AVA! Kiona Vineyards and Winery is excited to announce their first ever wine club.
Saturday, I went to Costco because JJ Williams of Kiona was pimpin' wine there. JJ is the 1 Eye Wine Guy (and yes, he does only have one eye). JJ's family started and owns Kiona Vineyards and pioneered Red Mountain AVA and Washington wine. There were less than 20 wineries in the state when they planted grapes in 1975. Now, after 30 years of making consistently great product (and selling Red Mountain grapes to several other wineries) Kiona is excited to announce their wine club.
Three shipments per year of four to six bottles for only $125 (plus shipping) gets you library wine re-releases, pre-release wines and special wine club releases of small lot production. Wine club members will also receive 15% off on bottle purchases and 20% off on case purchases.
If you only join one wine club, this is one to consider for the variety, the quality, and the access to the diverse Kiona library. Visit the site to learn more and to sign up.
My apologies for the video not having JJ in frame fully – I hadn't even had any wine! What is your favorite wine club? What features do you like? Leave a comment.

Kiona Wine Collaboration With The Wine Whore
Today's video review is unlike anything you've ever seen in the wine blogging world. Never before has such a unique collaboration occurred. Two reviewers spanning over 3000 miles simultaneously taste the same wines from Kiona Winery (@kionawine on Twitter). You'll be seduced by the music. You'll be aroused by the Florida beaches. You'll be amazed at the wine. The review is wrapped up with a virtual jam session with me on guitar and Randy from @thewinewhore on drums.
I love the line on Kiona's web site, "You know you've got to start a winery when you make more wine than you can drink."
Kiona more than started a winery, they were part of propelling Washington wine into the mainstream of becoming the second largest producer of wine in the country (second to California). When only a handful of wineries called Washington home, Kiona planted its first grapes in 1975 and produced its first wine in 1980. At that time there were less than 15 wineries in the state (now there are over 650).
Kiona Winery calls the small Red Mountain AVA home. Kiona is home to 1/3 of the planted acres of grapes in the AVA. The 300 acres of Kiona fruit serve as the magic for the 20 wines they produce and grapes for several other Washington wineries. Today's cross country review is of their Late Harvest Riesling, Dry Riesling and the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon.
The NectarView
2008 Late Harvest Riesling
- The Stuff: 100% Riesling; 10% residual sugar 10% alcohol
- The Swirl: A beautiful peach juice and honey color. Even on the swirl, I get the impression this is going to be like a nice light syrup
- The Sniff: Intoxicating aroma of honey, tropical fruit, and a field of wild flowers
- The Sip: Obviously as a dessert wine this is sweet. It is not overly done and has a nice balance on the back end. Could pair nicely with spicey food. I personally could only experience it in small 2-3 oz pours.
- The Score: I'm a fan, but not a huge fan of this wine (only because I'm not a fan of sweet wines.) If you like dessert wines, you'll love it. At $10 per 1/2 bottle, I score this a high 3+ (out of 5)
2008 Dry Riesling
- The Stuff: 100% Estate grown 30 year old vines 13% alcohol 100% Stainless Steel
- The Swirl: This dry Riesling has a nice yellow straw and honey color.
- The Sniff: Apples, Pineapples and rose pedals oh my. Very aromatic wine. The sniff gives a hint of carbonation too.
- The Sip: Very nice, slightly sweet but not over the top. Good sipping summer wine or pairing with Asian food, Sushi, or Thai food. The peaches and apples come off the palate. Moderate acidity to make your mouth water. A little aluminum on the back end throws off the balance.
- The Score: At $12-$15 this is a very good Riesling, I score it a 4 (out of 5).
2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
- The Stuff: 85% Cabernet 9% Merlot 6% Cab Franc.
- The Swirl: A dark purple brown color. Good aged looking wine.
- The Sniff: Leather, earth, smoke, and then finally the sour cherry fruit. Nice smelling wine.
- The Sip: This is a good complex wine that offers enough fruit (cherry and plum) with the smokey tobacco flavor. There is some minerality that keeps me from scoring this higher. This is a nicely aged wine that drank very well for 2 days. I found it interresting and offered a variety of flavors. Not huge on tannin but enough acid to eat with smoked beef, and even some hickory smoked salmon with a dark reduction of some sort.
- The Score: At $20 retail, this wine easily gets a 4 from me. If you find it for under $15, buy more than one bottle.
Kiona is a Washington pioneer and a consistent maker of great wine. This is a label that can ALWAYS be trusted in the store and in the restaurant. Visit their tasting room in Benton City, WA just West of Richland, WA.

Recipe by GreenMom
"These sandwiches are a great way to mix up the regular lunch routine. Especially if you have leftover ham that needs to be used."
Watch video tips and tricks
4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
8 slices white bread
1 (8 ounce) can pineapple rings, drained
4 slices leftover baked ham
2 tablespoons butter
This is AWESOME! I did change it a bit personal taste, but I'm rating it anyway because it would work w/any personal preference cheese/bread combinations. I'm not a fan of cream cheese, so I used provolone for me (and American for Mr. LTH). I used 12 grain bread for mine (and pumpernickel for Mr. LTH). Outstanding! I've been on a ham, pineapple and onion pizza kick, so this was a much more figure friendly way to feed that craving (and I'll add some onion next time, too!). THANKS for a great recipe!
Did not like the cream cheese in this. It made the moist pineapple even more moist, making for a soppy sandwich, even though it was toasted. Would try a differnet cheese.
25 Ratings
Just based on how my kids inhaled these AND loved them, I give it a five. I didn't have sliced pineapple, just crushed pineapple. I used a 1/2 cup of crushed pineapple that I drained the crud out of and mixed it with the cream cheese. I did end up adding just a little more cream cheese, but not much. My kids fell in love with this, as did I because it used what I had on hand.
Very good, thanks for this! To make things even easier you can use the pineapple flavored cream cheese.
Good. Kinda rich. Don't know how often I would have them because of that. Instead of pineapple rings, I mixed 1/4 drained crushed pineapple witht he cream cheese and spread that on the bread.
Gave me a great idea for some leftover ham but knew we would not like the cream cheese with pineapple. Anyway, for us extra old cheddar is our choice - more zing and less moist sandwich. Thanks for a great creation
Don't be fooled by how simple this sandwich is, it's fantastic! I used whipped cream cheese to keep from tearing up the bread but other than that I made them exactly as written. Served with the Topical Salad from this site which also has pineapple in it and it made for a wonderfully flavorful and light sandwich and salad dinner. Thanks!
I will definitely make it again. I did modify it by making it more french toast style. Just whisk up an egg w/ a little milk and dip the bread in... not too soaked though! Very yummy this way!

January started the year with strong shows - "Copycat: Reproducing Works of Art" at the Clark Art Institute and "African Americans and the American Scene, 1929-1945" at the Williams College Museum of Art - but also with some bad news. Wilco confirmed that there would not be a Solid Sound Festival for a third summer in a row. Instead, the band would play one benefit concert and return with the festival in 2013.
Several live shows in January certainly softened that musical blow.
C. Ryder Cooley brought her XMALIA show to MCLA, wielding accordion, ukulele and singing saw to share the stage with video and taxidermied animals for a musical meditation on extinction.
New Wave survivors Jeff and Jane celebrated last year's rerelease of the seminal "Flesh" album, originally released in 1982, with a concert at Mass MoCA, which also featured Jeff Hudson performing with his new band, Space Bar, bridging the past, present and future onstage. Jeff and Jane also performed on the eastern half of the state and released some new material.
The annual I/O Fest at Williams College featured music and appearances by one half of The Books and cellist Paul de Jong and violinist Todd Reynolds, performing with the I/O New Music Ensemble for The Box, a night of music by living composers, including the world premiere of de Jong's "A Stumble in Fall" The music news continued in February, with the Bang on a Can All Stars releasing their new album Big Beautiful Dark and Scary, which would be clarinetist and composer Evan Ziporyn's last with outfit - his departure would be announced the following October.
Nick Zammuto announced the dissolution of The Books, along with a new solo project and band, Zammuto, and a performance at Mass MoCA to kick things off. It turned out to be a stellar year for Zammuto, playing a total of 83 shows worldwide, including a stint at the South By Southwest Festival in Austin, TX. The performance at MoCA also featured the area premiere of the short documentary film scored by Zammuto, "Achante," directed by Emily McMehen, about followers of voodoo in Haiti.
The annual MCLA Blues & Funk Festival also returned for its seventh year, featuring Williamstown band Misty Blues and Ghana-born, Afrobeat MC Blitz the Ambassador.
February also saw plenty of movement in the museums. Sanford Biggers took over Building 5 at Mass MoCA, with his sculptural installation "The Cartographer's Conundrum," which drew from music, Afrofuturism and his cousin, artist John Biggers.
Mass MoCA also offered "Making Room: The Space Between Two and Three Dimensions," which gathered a group of artists like Chloe Ostmo and Dawn Clements, with work addressing three-dimensional space within two-dimensional artwork. The Clark Art Institute took a new approach to art curation with the Clark Remix, which combined a 400-piece art show with the software uCurate, which allowed visitors to put together their own show, to be submitted to the Clark website for possible real world realization within the Clark itself.
The William College Museum of Art presented "Asco: Elite of the Obscure, A Retrospective, 1972-1987," a comprehensive look at the Los Angeles-based Chicano art group, the first time its work has ever been presented in such a format.
In March, the creative duo of Cathy Wysocki and Wayne Hopkins brought their individual creative idiosyncrasies together at MCLA Gallery 51 for the show "Strange Soup." Wysocki's monster paintings and sculptures combined with Hopkins' stark, political art incorporating typeface to offer something truly unusual and memorable.
Invisible Cities came to Mass MoCA in April, taking inspiration from Italo Calvino and presenting fantastical spaces that brought cities into the psychological, from the wall sprawl of Miha Strukelj to the threedimensional, abstract, sculpture- as-dollhouse - or vice versa- by Diana Al Hadid.
Local artist Lisa Nilsson struck a chord nationally with her intricate anatomical cross sections fashioned from tissue paper through a technique called quilling. She was featured in a whirlwind of attention that resulted in Huffington Post and Smithsonian articles, among many others, and even a TEDMED Talk in the summer.
May heralded in the massive and groundbreaking "Oh, Canada" show, Denise Markonish's curatorial masterwork and personal travelogue offering tribute to the gentle giant to our north. A massive gathering of Canadian artists, highlights include Dave and Jenn's paint and resin layered 3-D works, Mario Doucette's reconstruction of images from the deportation of the Acadians, Kent Monkman's life-sized cabin diorama featuring the Lone Ranger and Tonto and Graham Patterson's micro depictions of homes around a mountain.
Also in May, Transcript photographer Gillian Jones got a much-deserved retrospective in celebration of her 20th anniversary at MCLA Gallery 51. Jones has been chronicling the revitalization of the Northern Berkshires through the lens of a seasoned photojournalist with an artistic eye, and the show captured not only Jones' work, but her relationship with the area over the past two decades.
In June, DownStreet Art kicked off what would be another successful season downtown, with a mix of new and old - The Phylogeny Projects' application of biological theory to art curation, Molly Davies' film "Beyond The Far Blue Mountains," Lynn Richardson's Arctic Garden at Gallery 107 and the first mural in an ongoing series, this from the Spanish art collective Muralismo Publico, who made their mark on the back of the Mohawk Theater.
Nestled in the mix was "Vs.," the final local show from the hardest working man in the Berkshire County art scene, Ven Voisey, at MCLA Gallery 51, where he was also manager. The show was a testament to Voisey's versatility, with drawings, photography, sculpture, sound art and video all included. Voisey left for California and grad school shortly after.
Mass MoCA's Kidspace, "Curiosity" opened - a multifaceted and playful show that focused on the things that children were most curious about and featured such offerings as Colin Boyd's full-scale reproduction of a fossilized mastodon, Nathan Sawaya's Lego sculptures and Ephraim and Sadie Hatfield's "Gigibòsgoshgoshmuxqüdòh (Chicken Pig Bear Deer)," an interactive wunderkammer devoted to a recently discovered mythological beast that roams the Berkshires.
The Williamstown Theater Festival returned for another successful season. Among the highlights were Tyne Daly in the David Hyde Pierce-directed The Importance of Being Earnest and Blythe Danner in Bob Balaban's world premiere of The Blue Deep.
The summer music coup was Patrick Watson, the acclaimed, award-winning Canadian composer and musician who performed at Mass MoCA's Club B-10 with his band, who shares him name as well as his musical power.
The Clark Art Institute featured three China-centered shows: Then & Now: Photographs of Northern China, which featured Sterling Clark's photos of his trip there in 1908, juxtaposed with photos of the same locations taken 100 years later by Li Ju; "Through Shen-Kan," which focused on Clark's journey; and "Unearthed," a survey of recent archaeological discoveries in China.
In July, the Bang on a Can All Stars and festival returned to town for another triumphant session that also featured special guest Steve Reich.
DownStreet Art offered new several new attractions, including Mark Mulherrin's "If Not This," Studio 21 South's "Black and White (more or less)" show and Maya Hayuk's massive mural on Center St., as well as the transformation of the Transcript news room into an art gallery that would feature, over the coming months, the creative works of journalists Jennifer Huberdeau and Meghan Foley, alongside another show of work by Gillian Jones and, later, a retrospective of past Transcript photographer Randy Trabold.
The Howard Cruse renaissance and revival continued with the release of Boom Studios' "The Other Sides Of Howard Cruse," which collected Cruse's nongay-themed stories and furthered the indispensible Cruse library.
News came from Tennessee that accordionist and North Adams native Ron Richardello passed away.
In August, the Williams College Museum of Art took a look back at Laylah Ali's Greenheads series, which had Ali make social and political commentary through these cartoon figures. The show featured over 40 pieces, the first time any of the Greenheads had been gathered into one large cohesion.
Downstreet Art continued with political shows like "Transcend: art as activism," which featured art inspired by the Occupy movement at the Branch Gallery, and a survey of Romanian artist Matei Bejenaru's creative examinations of his country in the postCommunist world.
MCLA Gallery 51 hosted an update of the work of Richard Criddle, whose sculptures pull from his background in fabrication and foundry work , as well as his life in England and his love of objects, and morph into a menagerie of creatures that inhabit his imagination and spring into our world larger than life.
Wilco played their benefit concert at Mass MoCA through an online bidding event, which meant that some people were able to see the band in a smaller setting for about 10 dollars a pop - an unheard of opportunity at this point in Wilco's career.
The end of August and well into September featured Down-Street Art happenings like Melissa Matsuki Lillie's typical bursts of color to Holden Street on the final mural of the season, as well as the postal art project "Postal Pinacotheca" at PRESS Gallery and Jennifer Krouse's "Imagining North Adams" at Gallery 107, which offered up our hometown as a canvas and was complimented by the presence of Jaye Fox's "Picturing North Adams."
The Solid Sound Festival got a run for its money as a vital local venue for cutting edge roots rock with the FreshGrass Bluegrass festival at Mass MoCA may have been superior in many ways, featuring headliners like Trampled By Turtles and The Incredible Stringdusters, and some show-stopping performances by Morgan O'Kane, Spirit Family Reunion, Carolina Chocolate Drops and rowdy folksters The Devil Makes Three.
The Mohawk Theater opened up for one night to feature the spirit of Johnny Cash in the form of Cash tribute act The Cash Band, featuring Harold Ford. The genuine article was the last act to perform at the theater, in February 1988, and this one-night concert was a benefit for the further restoration of the theater.
Meanwhile, the Williams College Museum of Art expanded on Mass MoCA's Sol LeWitt wing with "The Well-Tempered Grid," which gathered 65 further works meant to examine LeWitt's use of the grid in his painting.
October saw Mass MoCA bringing in a true original in the world of outsider art, Jerry Gretzinger, to lay out all the panels from his ongoing art project, "Jerry's Map," a grid-like map that follows a vague narrative that is ruled by a homemade deck of playing cards.
The Williamstown Film Festival returned for its 14th year, with Images Cinema director Sandra Thomas helping to reshape, update and invigorate the event.
In November KidSpace moved beyond Mass MoCA with a show at the Clark Art Institute, "Lions and Tigers and Museums, Oh, My," which examined one piece of art - Rubens' "Lion and Tiger Hunting" - from the perspective of four different types of museums.
The Clark also debuted Giselle's Remix, the first result of uCurate effort, by 11-yearold Giselle Ciulla, chosen from 1,000 entrants.
In December, Chinese artist Xu Bing brought his two massive phoenix sculptures to Mass MoCA. Fashioned from the detritus of Beijing construction sites, Xu Bing hopes to draw connections between the industrial present of both China and the United States.
December also brought change and renewal for the New Year. The Elf Parlor space reopened as The Parlor Cafe and at MCLA Gallery 51, the talented multimedia artist C. Ryder Cooley revealed an entirely new facet of her abilities when it was announced she would take over as gallery manager .
At the same time, North Adams and Mass MoCA lost local fixture Katherine Myers to the Williams College Museum of Art. As marketing director at Mass MoCA, Myers was just about everywhere you looked and anywhere she was needed - and not just attending to the official duties you expect. There was at least one occasion where she worked crowd control in a bathroom emergency, and the staff at Mass MoCA no doubt has many stories they could tell. We wish her success in her new position.

By Mark Hulbert, MarketWatch
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (MarketWatch) — Banks in particular, and the financial sector in general, are growing in popularity right now among the top performing advisers.
That's good news not only for the sector overall, but — as I will argue — for the stock market as a whole.
To form my group of top performers, I relied on the same definition I employ in my weekly service, Hulbert On Markets: I first eliminate from consideration those monitored advisers who have lagged a simple buy-and-hold in the stock market over the last 15 years, and I then narrow the list even more to just the 15 with the best returns over the last 12 months.
This table shows the industry sectors receiving the greatest number of recent upgrades.
# recent UPGRADES | |
Biotechnology | 5 |
Banks | 4 |
Medical Equipment | 4 |
Electrical Equipment | 3 |
Pharmaceuticals | 3 |
The accompanying table lists the sectors that recently have received the greatest number of upgrades from this select group of top performers. Notice that the banking sector is tied for second place in this ranking.
The reason that I think this is a bullish straw in the wind for the entire stock market traces to research conducted by Ned Davis Research into which industries historically have been strongest and weakest prior to past market tops. The firm found that the S&P 500 /quotes/zigman/3870025/realtime SPX +0.10% groupings that typically lead the market prior to tops are consumer staples and consumer discretionary — and that the laggards tend to be financials and utilities.
Even though the financials category contains more sectors than just banks, it is definitely encouraging that banks are receiving more recent upgrades than almost all other sectors.
Table shows number of recent upgrades from the best performers in each of the DJ industry groupings--net of any downgrades. For more info: http://on.mktw.net/123j9Pg
# recent UPGRADES | |
Industrials | +6 |
Financials | +3 |
Basic Materials | +2 |
Health Care | +1 |
Consumer Services | 0 |
Telecommunications | 0 |
Utilities | 0 |
Consumer Goods | -1 |
Technology | -2 |
Oil & Gas | -5 |
To confirm that hunch, I next looked at each of the more than 100 sectors in the Dow Jones industry classification system. The accompanying table aggregates the number of recent upgrades in each sector, net of downgrades, into the 10 overall industry categories. (While the Dow Jones industry classification system is not identical to S&P's, the two systems are similar enough that we can draw some inferences.)
Notice that our bullish initial hunch turns out to be confirmed by the more comprehensive data: The Financials category is in second place in a ranking of net recent upgrades among the top performers. To be sure, the Utilities category is in the middle of the pack. But notice that, even here, it is not being downgraded—as presumably it would be if the market were approaching a top and it adhered to the historical pattern.
The same conclusion emerges when we focus on the two consumer-oriented categories, which historically have led the market prior to top. Notice that the top performers are not seeing any evidence that they are about to lead the market in coming weeks and months.
Are there any individual banking stocks in particular that the top performers like? Yes, though they appear to like the sector as a whole more than they do any individual stocks. In fact, there are just two banking stocks that are recommended by even two of the top performers: They are J.P. Morgan Chase /quotes/zigman/272085/delayed/quotes/nls/jpm JPM +0.02% and Wells Fargo /quotes/zigman/239557/delayed/quotes/nls/wfc WFC +0.48% .
This lack of any overwhelming favoritism for any individual bank might suggest that, in the event you are inclined to follow the lead of the top performers, you should invest in an ETF that is benchmarked to the sector — such as the Select Sector SPDR Financial /quotes/zigman/246222/delayed/quotes/nls/xlf XLF +0.28% .
