I'm sayin' USA and Canada, Japan and Cuba, Korea and the Dutch (man, that's a weak pool), Venezuela and the DR.2. base ball chick Posted: January 16, 2013 at 02:28 PM (#4348294)
it's still not anything i can bring myself to CARE about3. Jose Is The Most Absurd Thing on the Site Posted: January 16, 2013 at 02:46 PM (#4348319)
if it was on any channel i got i might could care more
i still don't want any guys on my team playing in it - getting hurt over a meaningless exhibition game is, well, a pain. and i still haven't decided who my team actually IS. i think i'm gonna be a playa this year
I find the WBC a lot of fun. Competitive baseball is good, not having baseball is bad.4. JJ1986 Posted: January 16, 2013 at 02:48 PM (#4348321)
I agree with #1 across the board. I think Pool C (Venezuela, PR, DR, Spain) looks like the most interesting group. Spain should get wiped out but I think any combination of the other 3 is possible (though the DR is the clear favorite).
I got into the 2009 one. I thought the first one (2006?) gave it a bad name in America when the US team sort of treated the whole thing as a joke. Every other team (and the 2009 US team) seems to care about it, though.5. Ulysses S. Fairsmith Posted: January 16, 2013 at 04:09 PM (#4348377)
The WBC is okay, but I always get more enjoyment from the Caribbean Series, which has the advantages of happening sooner and not conflicting with spring training games. Sometimes the Caribbean Series is on the MLB Network; does anyone know if it will be this year?6. Crispix reaches boiling point with lackluster play Posted: January 16, 2013 at 04:38 PM (#4348397)

In that case, we look forward to you complaining if any players from any team get injured, or are not injured but have unexpectedly bad 2013 seasons.
Im going to the semis and finals in SF. In fact, I have 2 extra tickets for all three of the games if anyone is interested in paying face value for them.8. Gamingboy Posted: January 16, 2013 at 08:13 PM (#4348529)
Should be fun!
Jon Morosi, I think, tweeted out earlier today that actually players who DIDN'T play in the WBC had a higher injury rate than those that did. Admittedly, it's still a small sample size, but...9. Steve Balboni's Personal Trainer Posted: January 16, 2013 at 09:16 PM (#4348585)
Also, I agree with JJ1986. The first one was clearly a case of the Team USA players (with a few exceptions like Jeter) just kind of showing up and going half-assed, figuring that they'd win since they were the best team on paper. The 2009 team and this upcoming 2013 team may not be as flashy on paper or as marketable in the advertisements, but I have no doubt that guys like David Wright want to be there.
I really would be hard-pressed to care less about the WBC. The most fun part of it for me is when the non-US rosters are released, and I get to find who is Canadian, who has Dutch heritage, etc. After that, it's exhibition baseball.10. Mike Emeigh Posted: January 16, 2013 at 10:09 PM (#4348629)
I know many of the players and teams take it seriously, but that is the case with many players in spring training baseball, too. I personally think the very human drama of watching an aging veteran trying to earn a roster spot for one more season, or a young pitcher that appears to be finally putting it all together, is superior to the "suspense" of who wins the Canada-Italy round-robin game in Pool B or whatever.
I'd love to see Brazil make some noise, but being in with Japan (at home) and Cuba is a killer.11. Gamingboy Posted: January 17, 2013 at 08:46 AM (#4348846)
The Taiwan pool is rather weak.
I could see the USA getting knocked out by Mexico and Canada, depending on who ends up on the rosters.
Thing with Canada is the starting pitching will lack MLB starters (unless Dempster changes his mind) and thing with Mexico is that a pissing-match between Team Mexico and the Commissioner of the summer Mexican League might cause them to lack a lot of Mexican leaguers.
That said, any given day, and the round robin format can lead to some REALLY weird things. The nighmare scenario is if USA, Canada and Mexico all go 2-1 and the USA is eliminated through a tie-breaker.
USA releases provisional roster:13. Misirlou was a Buddhist prodigy Posted: January 17, 2013 at 12:27 PM (#4349036)
Around the diamond, the U.S. will have a starting eight of Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira, Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips, Rollins, Wright, Twins catcher Joe Mauer, Braun, Orioles center fielder Adam Jones and Marlins right fielder Giancarlo Stanton....

That's a pretty strong team. I don't think anyone can compete with that outfield. OPS+ of 159, 126, and 158. Not as crazy about the IF. Would have liked to see fielder at 1B. Phillips and Rollins are OK choices, and Wright is just fine. Willie Blomquist? What, was Lenny Harris not available?
Zobrist and Phillips should have their roles reversed, Zobrist is a significantly better player.15. Misirlou was a Buddhist prodigy Posted: January 17, 2013 at 03:28 PM (#4349268)
Zobrist and Phillips should have their roles reversed, Zobrist is a significantly better player.
Agree with the latter, but Phillips is useless as a utility man. He's played all but 19 defensive innings in his career at 2B, and none of those in the last 5.

What to do with leftover green beans.
- l
- Larry Lustig Dec 8, 2004 07:21 PM
I have a quart or two of leftover green beans. Can anyone suggest a casserole or other way of turning them into something delicious?
there's always the recipe on the back of campbell's cream of musrhoom soup...it's green bean casserole mixed with the soup and topped with fried onion rings. it's actually really good!
I like green beans and ham. For 1 lb of cooked green beans, I use ~1/2 lb ham cut into ~1" x 1/2" squares, ~1 or 1/2 sliced yellow onions, 1-2 cloves of garlic, chicken stock.
Saute the ham, want a glaze on the pan, add sliced onions, continue until the onions are wilted, add garlic, add chicken stock; deglaze the pan, add green beans. Continue until the green beans are the texture you like (al dente or mushy). The amount of chicken stock depends on how much liquid you want, probably ~1 cup.
I learned from my grandpa that you can keep them behind and use them as "starter beans" for the next batch. This supposes the southernish style of with pork, boiled, etc.
However, that depends on if that's the style you want, and you probably still have too much.
re: Karl S.
"If you french them (slice them long-ways), you might be able to add them to long pastas after cooking, with a dairy-based sauce."
I made two dairy based sauces this week that might work with that. (I actually made them for a small pizza, but I'm sure they would translate to use with pasta)
cream cheese
herbes de Provence (or Italian blend)
fresh pearl tomatoes (meatier than cherry tomatoes, but those would work, too) - quartered.
Stir. garnish with cheese.
And, kind of the same as above, except saute sliced fresh mushrooms in garlic butter, then add cream cheese, milk, herbs, fresh pearl tomatoes.
And, of course - the green beans.
Even more . . . get a roasted chicken from the grocery store and add pieces of that, too.
It can be done in a casserole that way, too. Pasta should be half cooked before putting it in the greased casserole dish if doing so. Bake 30 minutes.
I like this recipe from Giada de Laurentis on Food TV -- it's basically green beans sauteed with shallots, garlic, basil, and tomatoes. The recipe calls for the beans to be blanched, so if yours are already cooked you can throw them in toward the end of the cooking time.
Here's a fav of ours for a cold green bean salad. Easy but good - really easy for you since you already have the beans.
Green Beans,pecans and blue cheese salad
1 c. cooked green beans
1/2 c.coarsly chopped pecans, saute for 1 min.in 1 T. oil
l l/2 oz. blue cheese
Make a dressing of l/2 tea. dijon mustard, 1 tea. vinegar,2 tea. chopped shallots or green onions and
1 T. olive oil
Add cooked beans to dressing, crumble blue cheese on top, toss with nuts and salt and pepper to taste.
I like to put some in the bottom of a pint mason jar with a little Italian dressing and top with a green salad. At lunch I just dump the jar out onto a plate and instant salad with the green beans and dressing on top.
You can pickle the leftover ones to use in salads or with cheese trays.
A really "red-neck" way we use them up is to crumble up cornbread in bowl, top with green beans, chopped onion, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, or whatever other veggies you prefer, and then some ranch dressing.
I love stewed green beans, I usually start with fresh but probably does not make a difference if pre-cooked.
Just saute onion in oil, add canned tomatoes, then green beans and sliced zucchini, potatoes if you have. Add water just to barely cover. Boil then simmer until veggies are tender.
Sounds weird, I know, but cream of green bean soup is really good. Top it with some grated parmesan. It tastes similar to cream of asparagus. That is if you only used garlic, onion, salt and pepper when you cooked them the first time.
Husband loves "beans and taters". I toss a bunch of bacon, sliced in about one inch pieces, in a pot. Brown it up. Add a chopped onion. When translucent, add (lots, for us) of garlic. Pile a bunch of cleaned, fresh, green beans (I cut the longer ones in half), stir it all up so they get nice and coated with the bacon drippings. Toss in a bunch of baby red potatoes. Add a little seasoning salt and a fair amount of fresh ground pepper. Cover everything with chicken broth, bring to a boil, cover and simmer on low for a few hours.

The Particulars of Polls
As a recovering pollster (I worked for Democratic pollster Peter Hart from 1974 to 1981), let me weigh in on the controversy over whether the polls are accurate. Many conservatives are claiming that multiple polls have overly Democratic samples, and some charge that media pollsters are trying to discourage Republican voters.
First, some points about the limits of polls. Random sample polling is an imprecise instrument. There's an error margin of 3 or 4 percent, and polling theory tells us that one out of 20 polls is wrong, with results outside the margin of error. Sometimes it's easy to spot such an outlier; sometimes not.
In addition, it's getting much harder for pollsters to get people to respond to interviews. The Pew Research Center reports that it's getting only 9 percent of the people it contacts to respond to its questions. That's compared to 36 percent in 1997.
Interestingly, response rates are much higher in new democracies. Americans, particularly in target states, may be getting poll fatigue. When a phone rings in New Hampshire, it might well be a pollster calling.
Are those 9 percent representative of the larger population? As that percentage declines, it seems increasingly possible that the sample is unrepresentative of the much larger voting public. One thing a poll can't tell us is the opinion of people who refuse to be polled.
Then there is the problem of cellphone-only households. In the 1930s and 1940s, pollsters conducted interviews in person because half of households had either no phone or (your grandparents can explain this) a party-line phone.
By the 1970s, phone ownership was well nigh universal, and pollsters mostly phased out in-person interviewing. Phone interviews are much cheaper and quicker.
But today the percentage of households without landline phones is increasing. Under federal law, cellphone numbers have to be hand-dialed rather than dialed by computer, as landline numbers are now even when live interviewers ask the questions.
Cellphone-only individuals tend to be younger and more Democratic than landline owners. Most pollsters are conducting a set number of interviews with cellphone-only households. But they can only guess at what percentage of the electorate they'll constitute. Oversample them, and you'll get overly Democratic results.
That, many conservatives are arguing, is what pollsters have been getting in polls this month. They point out that Mitt Romney is running ahead among Independents in many polls but trails overall.
This can only happen if Democrats have a big lead in party identification, as they did in 2008. In the exit poll then, 39 percent of voters identified themselves as Democrats and 32 percent as Republicans.
In contrast, exit polls showed an even break on party identification in 2004 and 2010. But many September polls and some earlier polls showed Democrats with an even bigger party identification lead than four years before.
That seems implausible. Party identification does change over time, as exit polls indicate. But it usually shifts gradually rather than suddenly, as current polls suggest.
There is evidence that since the Charlotte convention Democrats have become more motivated to vote and have narrowed the advantage in enthusiasm Republicans have had since 2010. In that case, more Democrats may be passing through screening questions and getting polled.
I don't believe that any of the media pollsters have been tilting their results in order to demoralize Republicans, though I do look with suspicion on the work of some partisan pollsters.
But I do have my doubts about whether samples with more Democratic party identification than in 2008 are accurate representations of the actual electorate. Many states with party registration have shown big drops in registered Democrats since then.
Pollster Scott Rasmussen, who weights his robocall results by party identification, adjusted monthly, has shown a much closer race than most pollsters who leave party identification numbers unweighted. So has the Susquehanna poll in Pennsylvania.
It may be that we're seeing the phenomenon we've seen for years in exit polls, which have consistently skewed Democratic (and toward Barack Obama in the 2008 primaries). Part of that is interviewer error: Exit poll pioneer Warren Mitofsky found that the biggest discrepancies between exit polls and actual results were in precincts where the interviewers were female graduate students.
But he also found that Democrats were simply more willing to fill out the exit poll. That raises the question: Are we seeing the same thing in this month's polls?

Best pair of speakers ever.Sub can shake my room!!!
This is the third set of cyber acoustics speakers I've owned, and you just can't get this quality of sound for this cheap anywhere else. Got it in 3 days for free shipping?! Too good to be true! Everything from the CA-3098 and up is a great buy.
This is an incredsible set of speakers! My firstet had a minor problem and I was IMMEDIATELY ship ped an UPGRADED set that were far superior to the lesser cost set I had purched. Technician Sheryl deservs kudos for knowledge, courtesy and pattience in helping me set them up to a TV. As for the speakers, the Bass is rich deep;MINDEXPANDING andsthe tweeters crisp and bright. I HIGHLY reccomend the speakers to anyone looing for high qualiity at lower Prices. Fantastic producxt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unfortunately I never owned a Cyber Acoustics product to compare with, but these sound absolutely amazing. I was very surprised with how clear the satellites were and how much bass the sub put out. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an affordable, yet awesome, sound system
I purchased these to upgrade from my older CA-3602 and am extremely satisfied by the quality of the sound at the price. I had no problems with the speakers for three months and boy do they bump. I did have an issue 2 weeks ago with the control knob producing static and lower volume on one the speakers. So I contacted CA about the issue and after a few emails of purchase verification they shipped out a replacement right away! 3 business days later I received the replacement control knob and enjoying the speakers to the Fullest. If your looking for a system with great sound that doesn't break the bank, The CA-3908 is the way to GO!
Probably one of the greatest 2.1 set ups on the market for under $100 ( off amazon and such) Great bass very loud and clear n crisp sound. Highly recommend
My first set of computer speakers were the CA-3602 model and I was blown away from their crystal clarity and the booming bass from the 5 1/4" subwoofer! Now, I've upgraded to these CA-3908s and boy was I in for a surprise! The highs were HIGHER, the lows were LOWER! Everything was considerably louder and much cleaner! (As if I thought the 3602's were clear enough!) My favorite part about the upgrade was the increase in the subwoofer (from 5 1/4" to 6 1/2"!!!)! That size difference totally made my music feel like it's being played the way it should be. I play Jazz, Rock, EDM (electronic dance music) video games and lots of other things through these speakers and I can't pinpoint one thing I don't like about them! For the price, it's a KILLER deal! These speakers do NOT disappoint! Thanks for reading! :)

Kenmore sewing machine 148.280
My husband got his grandmother's Kenmore sewing machine, 3/4 sized, straight stitch, model 148.280 but no instruction manual. I saw this particular model mentioned on your site but the manual it brought up did not appear to be the model i have. Can you help?

It is always great to have a copy of your owners manual at hand especially when you are in need of some troubleshooting information. I was unable to locate a copy of your owners manual here on the Manage My Life website, possibly due to the age of your item. I was able to locate a link that provides many owners manuals for sewing machines and I attached it below for you to locate your manual. I hope this is helpful. Have a great day!

"My husband is the one who picked these out for our daughter's baptism. They turned out perfectly simple just the way we wanted them."
"This card arrived exactly as pictured. I have ordered several items and they are always perfect! The ability to view your proof as you designing it is awesome!! Really fast delivery too!"
"I loved being able to personalize the font, size of font and even color!! I'd suggest making the "please join us for a" and "in honor of" a size or two bigger, as it is quite small on the card though. It's just barely readable. A size up would be perfect. I got the pearl shimmer on it (really worth it!!!) and it gave it that extra something! The comments I received on the invites were awesome! Everyone loved them! I also loved the service TinyPrints.com added, where I had my return address and recipient address typed onto the envelope and they sent it from where the print it. I also liked their modified rectangular envelopes!!"
"I customized these to put my twin daughter's names for their Baptism and couldn't be happier with the final results. They look beautiful and the card stock is excellent. Can't wait to mail them to our guests!"
"As I am getting my RSVP's people are commenting on how pretty the card is. I thought it was beautiful with the pearl finish. It was a nice touch."

Good benefits, above average pay, great bonuses, stable company. Senior Management is older and mostly promoted from internal groups which shows you can have a long career here.
Technology groups moved slow to market, used older technologies that legacy systems are based on. Many times there is a mentality that if it's not broke don't fix it, even when systems have the potential for improvement.

Are you wondering how to remove the front bumper cover on your 2005-09 Mustang? If so, we walk you through step by step in our front bumper removal video.
If you plan on installing new headlights, fog lights, or bolt-on on a turbo kit to your 2005 to 2009 Mustang, all of those require you to remove your front bumper cover. Today, on this '07 Mustang, I'm going to show you just how easy it is to remove your front bumper cover.
With your hood open, start by removing the six plastic push pins from the radiator cover. Slide a flat head screwdriver underneath the recessed edge, and lift up. If that doesn't work, carefully remove the push pins with needle-nose pliers. Once removed, lift up the radiator cover and set it aside.
Next, remove the two 10-millimeter bolts that hold the bumper pillar in place. Pull the pillar up and toward the front of the car to release the top of the bumper. Next, remove the three Phillips head screws that attach the splash shield to the bumper.
Remove the push pin from the splash shield. Carefully pull the splash shield back, and remove the two bolts that hold the bumper to the bumper bracket. Do the same for the other side.
Then, pull down on the bumper to free it from the bracket. Once free, carefully move the bumper back to remove the park light and fog light connections. Remove the bumper and set it aside.
With simple hand tools and about 20 to 30 minutes of your time, you can remove your front bumper cover right there at home. For more Mustang how-tos, subscribe to our YouTube channel or check us out on the web at latemodelrestoration.com.
Check out our YouTube channel for even more tech tips, installation videos, how-tos, and more. The best place to go for anything Mustang related!
Would the 55 watt hids mess up these smoked headlights
Asked by David D. from Edinburg | Comment 0 0
Best Answer:
55 watt will run very hot. I would recommend sticking with a 35 watt HID kit as those run much cooler and shouldn't give you any problems.

I whipped this up for my neice when she announced that she was taking a summer school course in Fashion Design. This was an quick afternoon project to get her feet wet and gain confidence using a sewing machine. (She was a first time sewer).
She made the apron and I made the coordinating tote. Let's just say that both items were well used.
Aug 16, 2009, 12.51 AMby helly
Very cute, I love wee little totes like that! it's rectangular-licious! What gorgeous fabric is that?
Aug 16, 2009, 01.32 AMby littlepinkbutton
Thanks! I am so glad that you like it.
It is actually a fabric called "Pixie" in a lime colour. It is available in espresso and fuschia pink as well. I purchased it at www.Tonicliving.com. I believe that is is a Chris Stone fabric. It is a 15 oz. canvas. The coordinating solid green is a 10 oz. organic cotton canvas.
The interior is part of a remnant of some yellow & white calico that I had laying around my fabric trunk.

Ebay NOTE:
ANY offer made by OE3FVU or PE0WGA on Ebay is fraud.If you find OE3FVU, PE0WGA as username on Ebay it doesn't reflect anything related to me !!!
144 MHz
First licensed in December 1975 in the Netherlands as PE0WGA . Since March 1995 living in Austria (using PE0WGA/OE - I was not eligable for using the CEPT assignement as I was living in OE !!!); since October 1995 QRV asOE3FVU. Worked 1113 countries, 42 USA States, 690+ squares on 2 meters. I am holder of the nr. 121 DXCC for 144 MHz.
I achieved my first goal in November 2013 with the DXCC on 144 MHz, next goal is WAS on 144 MHz as well.
To my fellow HAM's in the USA: PLEASE Feel free to help me, by calling me!
144 MHz setup are 4x 14 ele MXP28 Yagi from M-Square with H and V feedlines (30 meters ECOFLEX 15), 2x CAVeme cavity LNA's in each RX line, 2x FT847 (2x WSJT9) and parallel feeding an IQ+ Rev. B. using MAP65.TX (V or H) is done typically with FT847 feeding an Henry 3002, with appr 1200 Watts Out on EME and 400 Watts out on MS. 4x 17 CueDee for 70 cms is fitted (theoretically as the have been taken out for mainetnance, I hope to put them back in in Spring 2015) in the mast with an MGF102 pre-amp and ECOflex15 back to the shack to an FT-847 or IC-475H.The first successes with 70 cm EME have already been achieved by using 35 Watts only, without pre-amp.
The second mast carrying a 6 element with MGF1302 preamp on 6 meters and is fed by either the FT-847 or - more typically - the IC-575H. The mast carries also a 9 element homebrew 2 meter antenna with MGF1302 pre-amp fed by the IC-275H.
In principle.I will be available for skeds at any time of any day. So feel free to contact me here or via my website www.oe3fvu.eu for any sked on 2, 4, 6 or 70 cms. (4 meters for X-Band only).
HF Bands
Since 1974VHF has fascinated me and it still does. HF was never my thing, but as I recently obtained a 3 element SteppIr for 6 to 20 meters, this might change. the antenna was installed on 8 October 2014 between the 4 longyagi's for 2m, expectingthat there would be no negative influence on the 2m performance, as the antenna is at 90° compared to the azimuth of the 2m System. Indeed i can not find any degredation of the EME array (yet). Knowing that the 2m beams are in parallel to the SteppIr Elements, I expected severe performance degredation. Actually the performance was not bad at all, only the points of resonance were off in the main direction. On 180° could find only marginal resonance differences. I have than adapted ONLY the dirctor settings for optimal SWR and was than amazed by the performance of the antenna. I have not yet been very active on the bands, but i am certain that this will change. try to find me at JT65A segment on the band, where I will try to work as many stations with 1 or 3 Watts. If you hear me in any other mode, be sure that I won't be working at more than 100 Watts.
QSL Policy
QSL will be sent to anyfirst contact via EME directly, provided that I can find the address in the net. Else, like any other QSL, I will send the card via the bureau. In practice that is once every 4 months.
Due to a horendous price increase for mail outside Europe the following apply for non-european Direct QSL: I will wait for sending the QSL cards until I am in a country with significant less postal charges. I will be in PA every 3-4 months (april, september, december) . PA postal charges are about half of the Austrian ones. If, however, you would like a QSL directly on a short notice, please send me a direct QSL with some green stamps in it.. NO NEED FOR SELF ADDRESSED ENVELOPES.
I sedn a QSL card for every QSO (except for QSO's made a PE0WGA before 1995 as I have no log available anymore), if you have not received a QSL yet, let me know; I will resend one - as long as I can find it as a valid QSO in my log that is. However I print out the QSL cards about once every 3 to 4 months so please have some patience. Again, if you need it quicker, let me know.
LoTW and e-QSL
I am a certified user of e-QSL. I will run an upload together with printing the QSL cards.
Last QSL run was on 26 June 2014 please allow for some time to receive your card

There is one food tradition that seems to cross all social, ethnic, and economic boundaries in the South: iced tea, particularly sweet tea. In the movie, "Steel Magnolias" Dolly Parton's character referred to sweet tea as "the house wine of the South." In many homes and most restaurants, this is certainly the case. But, why is iced tea such a staple in Southern homes? The history is more complicated than you might think.
Tea was introduced to the United States in South Carolina where it was grown in the late 1700s. In fact, South Carolina is the only state to have even grown tea commercially. It is believed that French botanist and explorer Andre Michaux imported it, along with many unique varieties of flowers. Iced tea began appearing in American cookbooks in the early 1800s, first as alcoholic punches. These first punches were made with green tea, rather than the black tea commonly used today.
Households began to keep iced tea on hand when refrigeration became popular – and with it, ice. The first known version of iced tea, as it is prepared today, was printed in 1879 in a publication called Housekeeping in Old Virginia. Recipe author Marion Tyree wrote that green tea should be boiled and steeped all day. Then, the preparer should "fill the goblets with ice, put two teaspoonfuls of granulated sugar in each, and pour the tea over the ice and sugar." This first iced tea recipe also called for a lemon garnish.

daughters fishing pole My daughter whom is 4 yes old loves this thing. It's easy for her too us and fits her hamds August 29, 2014
A disappointment I didn't expect too much from a children's fishing pole but this one still managed to disappoint. The string weight wasn't enough to support the included practice "fish". The "fish" got away and the reel does not work correctly. My daughter is now frustrated with fishing. August 19, 2014
Terrible My Daughter got this for a presert and it was broke by the next day. Going out to buy a good one now since she is upset. Do yourself a favor and buy a better one. This one is very cheaply made. August 15, 2014
Absolute junk! Absolute junk which broke straight out of the pkg! Not sure if this is supposed to just be a toy?? Do yourself a favor and don't buy!! August 12, 2014
Great catch I purchased this pole for one of my girls and this pole was excellent compared to the light up princess ones I purchased. For a child's pole I was expecting it to break fast. Fooled me! This was the pole I had least problems with. July 29, 2014
Love it! I bought this pole for my granddaughter it was easy for her to use and she pulled in a 3 lb bass with it! It is a good pole July 8, 2014
Reel broke with first half hour. Reel broke within first half hour of use. Plastic cap came off and plastic spring retainers snapped. Do not buy. July 8, 2014
Continues to break The spindle continues to break, it very poorly made. April 30, 2014

Want more time to study contracts
By JASON BABCOCK
Staff writer
The St. Mary's County commissioners decided Tuesday to put off until next week approving a new budget for the board of education, which includes pay raises for most teachers, administrators and other staff.
The commissioners said they didn't get information on negotiated agreements with school employees in time and wanted to review the documents in more detail.
The school board and employee unions signed the agreements last Wednesday and sent supporting documents to county government staff on Friday, said Superintendent Michael Martirano.
The county commissioners are providing $89.9 million in local dollars to the school system's $189.2 million budget, which starts July 1. The local dollars are 4 percent more than required by state funding formulas.
Commissioner Todd Morgan (R) said he was "dismayed" that the board of education documents arrived on the Friday before the Tuesday meeting. "You sort of painted us into a corner sending this stuff over Friday," he said.
"I'm still having a hard time right now. Maybe the numbers are right, I don't know," he said.
"I concur with Commissioner Morgan," said Commissioner Cindy Jones (R). She said her office computer did not connect online Monday "so this information I am now seeing for the first time."
Commissioner Dan Morris (R) said he was out of town for a few days. "I just don't want to make a rash decision," he said.
"We have followed your calendar. We have hit every marker. We've hit every deadline," Martirano said. "We did report this information to your staff when we had it."
The commissioners have until June 30 to approve the budget, which provides step increases for most school employees.
Morgan, Morris and Jones voted to table the budget's approval until next week. Commission President Jack Russell (D) and Commissioner Larry Jarboe voted no and were ready to vote on the budget.
Martirano said it was an "absolutely miraculous feat" that the negotiations were completed between the teachers, administrators and classified employees unions before the fiscal year expires at the end of this month.
Morgan criticized school administrator pay raises last year that were made for added duties and new job titles. "Are we going to have another surprise?" Morgan asked.
"There will be changes in the organization after July 1" to align with mandated changes required by Race to the Top, Martirano said. "There will be moving of chairs on the deck. I can't stress my people out so heavily they leave the organization." He said there is a "tsunami" of state reforms to adjust to. Across the state, "people are jumping ship. They are leaving in droves for retirement," he said.
In general across St. Mary's County, "I think the board recognizes the turbulence out there," Morgan said.
The new budget increases school principal salaries, Martirano said. In minimum salaries for principals, Calvert County ranked fourth in the state. Charles County ranked sixth and St. Mary's County ranked 17th, he said. In maximum salaries, Calvert ranked sixth. Charles ranked seventh, while St. Mary's ranked 14th.
Now St. Mary's will rank between Calvert and Charles counties for principal salaries with the new budget, Martirano said.
"It is very refreshing to see we are in between Charles and Calvert," said Commission President Jack Russell (D), "that we are in the middle now."

Government to offer childcare tax break to parents
LONDON (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron will unveil a new tax break on Tuesday to help working parents with their childcare costs from 2015, the government said, seeking to placate families squeezed by austerity, a stagnant economy and weak wage growth.
The announcement comes a day before Chancellor George Osborne is due to reject calls to abandon the coalition government's deficit reduction programme when he delivers his budget statement to parliament.
Trailing in the polls before an election due in 2015, Cameron and Osborne's Conservatives are accused by the Labour opposition of choking the economic recovery with a focus on austerity rather than growth.
Under pressure to do more to revive the economy and help hard-pressed households, Cameron will visit a nursery school in London on Tuesday to set out details of the tax break. It will be open to 2.5 million families and will be worth up to 1,200 pounds a year per child.
Britain's childcare costs are among the highest in the world, hitting parents already struggling with years of rising household bills and economic uncertainty.
"This is a boost direct to the pockets of hard-working families in what will be one of the biggest measures ever introduced to help parents with childcare costs," Cameron said in a statement.
A finance ministry spokeswoman said around 1 billion pounds had been set aide for the scheme, doubling the existing budget and taking in five times as many parents. The annual breakdown of public funding for the system will be announced later.
The Labour Party, which urged Osborne on Saturday to cut payroll taxes to boost growth, said many families had already lost money in government cuts.
"This announcement will not make up for the up to 1,500 pounds that families on middle and low incomes have lost in cuts to childcare support," Labour education spokesman Stephen Twigg said.

The movie has nothing to do with Capote's novella. His story is dark and depressing. No wonder he disliked the casting of Audrey Hepburn. Who cares? The movie is a delight! Handsome George Peppard (pre-A-Team) along for the ride. It's an idea of Manhatten life at that time. I can live with that idea!
For a classic movie that many people seemed to love, I found it sort of boring, and found the main character, Holly, quite annoying.
This was a really fun movie with a really great cast:D
I have to say I do and always will love Audrey Hepburn, but her character in this one made me a little uncomfortable, like...CRINGE. ALL the characters did-further more I tried to read the book and closed it and returned it to the library after reading only one chapter. Forget on how offensive the portrayal of a Japanese character was and Im not even Asian, but in the book Blacks were referred to as COONS. YIKES- that was it for me. I have this movie as a DVD and as a VHS because I have collected all her movies. The party was the funniest part for me, that kind of timing you just dont see anymore, as was the mobster in prison, and that Brazilian actor who was in a lot of Federico Fellinis' movies and he is/was as handsome as it gets. but it is a well known fact that the author (Truman C.) of the book HATED Audrey being cast in the role (read her book) and wanted Marilyn Monroe. He was on the set all the time and constantly had something negative to say...Blake couldn't get rid of him. She had (Audrey) just had her first child (you would never believe it in how thin she was) with Mel Ferrer her husband so personally she was very happy at that time. I just loved her.
Man I wish they'd release a version without Mickey Rooney. So racist, so unfunny, so terrible.
I'm typically not one who is particularly fond of romantic comedies/dramas, especially of this era, but I was curious about the hype attached to this one. This is my first time seeing it, and safe to say, my last. To reiterate what others here (and on the bonus DVD) have commented, and countless thousands of cringing viewers have undoubtedly felt, the offensive racist portrayal of a Japanese individual by a Caucasian actor (Rooney) with prosthetics was beyond despicable. Even director Blake Edwards admittedly regretted that horrible mistake. Second, I found no appeal in the 'glamour' of Audrey Hepburn's fashion or style. I couldn't care less about it, "dahling". And her shallow gold-digging character is plastically presented as something 'mahvelous', but to me she is, effectively, a misguided self-absorbed alcoholic prostitute who heartlessly left behind a husband and children in Texas for cocktail parties in Manhattan. And Peppard's character had his head screwed on straighter, but is also a gigolo. Harsh review, sorry. So why the three star rating? For the only reason(s) it won two Oscars. Henry Mancini's Best Score and he and Johnny Mercer's Best Song. Mancini had a gift, and the movie would be something completely different and far less than what it's considered to be were it not for his emotional contribution.
If you are interested we will be discussing this movie at the Carlingwood Library Film Club on October 8/13 at 7:00 pm. See you there
I saw the movie and I had liked it
the music is also nice and also the scenery this is not for children to watch
Very sad movie. Not one of her best, but I guess if you like sad movie's about a young woman who can't hold herself together....
I don't see the attraction of this movie and I don't think that I will ever "get it." I am not old enough to have been thrilled with it's over the top and over sexuality and not young enough to fall in love with it. You're basically dropped into the life of a less than stable women who has a strange care-free ability to walk into a complete stranger's bedroom in her dressing gown. And then to choose to marry between the foreign national for mercenary reasons or the writer who can't make a living unless decorating the bed of wealthy women. Gah. Gag me with a stick.

But the season's most pivotal story arc is the separation of Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Maris. "Moon Dance," which marked Grammer's directorial debut, is a series benchmark, as a crestfallen Niles tangos with his unrequited love, Daphne (Jane Leeves), at a high society ball. Not that the Crane family still doesn't have issues to work out. Frasier cannot abide being beaten at chess by Martin (John Mahoney) in "Chess Pains." Frasier and Niles ill-advisedly go into joint practice in "Shrink Rap," and find themselves on the opposite sides of a sanity hearing in "Crane vs. Crane." Lilith is sorely missed, but in this season's blast-from-the-past episode, Shelley Long returns in "The Show Where Diane Comes Back." It is a joy to see Cheers resurrected, if only in Diane's self-absorbed new play, which Frasier agrees to back. And any episode with Frasier's amoral agent Bebe (Harriet Sansom Harris) is must-see television. Frasier's humor was character-based, rather than topical, giving it a longer shelf life. For those who lament the end of one of television's gold standard series, this boxed set will be excellent therapy. --Donald Liebenson
