Excellent Pressure Cooker. M. Harty from Long Beach, CA on 06/22/2014 – Verified Buyer
This Tramontina 6.3 quart pressure cooker is my first pressure cooker, and I am very impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the product. It is a heavy pot made from 18/10 steel, and has a 3-layer base with an aluminum core. I purchased it because of its positive review from Good Housekeeping. I've been using it a few times a week now to make brown basmati rice, lentils, beef stews, and to steam vegetables. I find it easy to use and easy to clean. When cooking, I simply begin timing after the red indicator has popped up, and there is a steady stream of steam escaping from the pressure control valve. (Unlike other style pressure cookers, there is no whistle, so you do need to keep an eye on the pot to see when it has reached this stage.) Then I turn the heat down to low, and begin timing. The pressure cooker cooks evenly, quickly, and quietly. I haven't had anything burn to the bottom of the pot yet. The pressure cooker has a pressure release valve if you want to immediately release the pressure in the pot, like when pressure cooking vegetables. When cooking items like rice (after the required cooking time), I let the pressure come down naturally as the pot cools, and by the time the red indicator goes down, the rice is ready. When I'm finished cooking, I hand-wash the pot. (Apparently, it's dishwasher safe, but I prefer to hand-wash it so I can make sure the valves are clean.) It cleans up easily. I pull out the silicone gasket to give it a good clean, and just rinse the pressure release valve to make sure it's open and clear of food debris. The rest of the pot clean as you would a normal pot. I store the cooker with the silicone gasket and the pressure control valve in the pot, so that when it is time to cook, I remember to lightly oil the gasket and to double check that the pressure control valve (and safety valve) are open and clear of debris. The pressure cooker has safety pressure releases in both the upper part of the handle that attaches to the pot, and along the side of the lid where a bit of the gasket is exposed. They let you know if the pressure is too high and they relieve excess pressure until you turn the heat down. The pot also has a safety lock on the handle. As a person new to pressure cooking, these safety feature made me feel comfortable using the product. This cooker does not come with a steamer basket. I use one of those "flower folding-type" steamer baskets in the pot, and it works just fine. This product is a higher quality than I expected, and is a great value. I like it so much, I'll likely purchase the next size up for those days when I cook larger quantities of food. A note to those purchasing their first pressure cooker: the cooker should only be filled 2/3 full when cooking, (and only 1/2 full when cooking foods that may foam--add a bit of oil to minimize the foam.) This may effect the size of pot you choose to purchase. For my two-person household, this 6.3 quart model handles most of my cooking needs. Though, I'd like the 8-quart model as well to handle big pots of stew or chili. (By the way, an amazingly tender beef stew made with carrots and potatoes only takes 20 minutes of cook time!!!) This is an excellent pressure cooker. Highly recommended.

Although I have only used it a few times, because I'm still a bit intimidated......I have made a mushroom risotto twice in about 10 minutes with NO stirring. It was marvellous. I read the reviews before deciding on this model of stove top pressure cooker and so far so good!

This pressure cooker is a bit difficult to acclimate to using. The gasket is fussy and I considered returning it. I decided it was probably more operator error than anything else.

Sharyn McCrumb, Bimbos of the Death Sun (TSR Books, 1988; Ballantine
Books, 1997)
Sharyn McCrumb, Zombies of the Gene Pool (Ballantine Books, 1992; 1996)
Nowhere on her Web site does novelist Sharyn McCrumb mention her Edgar Allan Poe Award, the most coveted award in the mystery genre and something that most winners would be shouting from the rooftops. One can only assume that this is because the novel for which she won goes by the title Bimbos of the Death Sun. Perhaps she would simply prefer that we forgot all about it.
But the fact is that she not only wrote Bimbos of the Death Sun, but also its sequel, Zombies of the Gene Pool, both starring electrical-engineer/science-fiction-author Jay Omega. Both novels are terrific reads and, as a bonus, showcase something missing from McCrumb's more literate Ballad novels McCrumb's quirky sense of humor.
In Bimbos, Omega acquires a station at the local fan con in order to publicize his novel. There he runs into a host of quirky attendees. Most are there to see Appin Dungannon, famous author of the "Tratyn Runewind" series (and a real jerk), so Omega is able to view things pretty much as an outsider. When Dungannon is murdered, it is up to Omega to solve the crime while McCrumb makes what some have termed "mean-spirited" observations about the gaggle of attendees and their respective obsessions.
Bimbos is, in many ways, reminiscent of Isaac Asimov's classic Murder at the ABA, which is only natural as they both take place in similar settings. Still, McCrumb puts her indelible touch on it. If she's not a fan of the speculative fiction genre (and its inhabitants), she's certainly done her research. If her portrayal is not entirely accurate, it's because she has painted with broad strokes for humor's sake.
Zombies of the Gene Pool goes deeper behind the scenes of fandom as Omega is invited (through a colleague) to the thirty-year reunion of the "Lanthanides," once a group of adolescent fanboys, now a varied group of adults in their fifties some have become successful, some are dead, and a few are still stuck in 1958, if only in their passions.
Zombies contains the style and intent that McCrumb's modern fans will likely recognize. It's a mystery, but the corpse doesn't show up 'til two-thirds of the way through the book, and isn't labeled as murdered until thirty pages before the end. The main body of the novel is taken up with the relationships of these people and their inner circles, and it feels very different from its predecessor.
Not a very good "mystery" like her most recent books I am still inclined to say that it is the better novel. Bimbos, on the other hand, holds fast to the conventions of the genre and is therefore also the more light and pleasant of the two.
The Jay Omega books aren't about to change the world, but they are a lot of fun to read. Bimbos of the Death Sun and Zombies of the Gene Pool should be read by McCrumb's current fans as a way of investigating the beginnings of a remarkable career. And to bug the heck out of her.

How to become a Private Investigator.
Oct 13th
Over the last couple of weeks, I have become obsessed with the television series, Veronica Mars. This is a television series that aired a couple of years ago and I just came across it on Netflix. The show takes place in the fictitious town of Neptune, California. The main character is a high school girl turned private investigator, Veronica Mars (played by Kristen Bell). The show is quite exciting with a lot of twists and turns. Each episode of V-Mars consists of some short mysteries that need to be solved with in an episode and then each season has a large over all mystery that will be solved in the final episodes. V-Mars seems to be just your average teenage girl with a bad attitude except, her best friend was murdered, she is a private investigator and every ex-boyfriend she has ever had, either ends up in jail or is wanted by the FBI.
I have always had an interest in stories involving crime solving…whether it be a good crime fighting novel or an episode of NCIS. Veronica Mars has steeped my interest probably the most of all of these shows because she makes it seem so cool and makes it seem so easy to juggle being a private investigator and a student. I mean besides all of the resources she has from her dad being an ex-cop. Come on…to be using your study hall to catch bad guys, seems pretty awesome and she makes it seem like a cake walk.
So…how easy IS it to become a private investigator in the state of Minnesota.
She's Geeky unConference
Aug 9th
Last weekend, I was fortunate enough to attend She's Geeky, an unConference targeting women in the fields of Science, Math and Technology. ipHouse was one of the corporate sponsors for She's Geeky and I was very curious about what these tech women would have to say. I had been to Minnebar a couple months ago and found it very interesting. At Minnebar, a lot of the sessions were set up online before the unConference started and people were able to choose if they would want to present or just be an observer (observers do participate heavily though). We were then able to see what our options for sessions were, before even attending.
She's Geeky was set up similar to Minnebar's unConference except that sessions and presentations were created at the conference instead of in advance. I was very impressed by the subject matter and thought that there were some very intriguing topics to be discussed. The way Heidi Nobantu Saul organized the unConference made the day very relaxed and open to learning in an intimate format.
The first session that I attended was about the book and way of life called, "Getting things Done" by David Allen. I had never heard of this process and I was quite intrigued. Basically, what I learned from the discussion (which Meghan Wilker hosted) was that in our daily lives there are tons of missed opportunities to get things done because of procrastination and poor time management. I have always felt like the lists are swirling around in my brain and they do not ever get to where they are supposed to go, completely. This is why, as I was listening to Meghan explain the system of getting things done and what she has learned from David Allen, my eyes widened and I was saying to myself (maybe out loud) "there is a way to get things done?". I actually went out and purchased the audio book today because I was just so taken with the method of time management. Meghan went through and showed us how she goes about organizing and using custom lists/folders to prioritize. I can not help but think this is a little intense, never the less, I want to try it for myself.
Another interesting session that I chose to attend was that of entrepreneurial women. The session leader was Jacque Urick. Jacque has just started a gaming company, designed for women. She herself is a gamer and thinks that companies are not targeting women like they should be. Jacque had some very useful stories, both horrific and encouraging. A lot of women in the session were freelancers, start ups or had an amazing idea and did not know where to start. Through out this session, I heard a lot of wisdom from women who have been trailblazers in fields that overall, are still male dominated. These women have hard shells and are ready to take on the world. (I did not realize coming in, just how many lawyers are involved in taking on the job of owning an idea, system or product, as well as funding it!) I felt extremely inspired and the recommendations that the different women gave will always be immensely appreciated. I think that those that shared their stories helped others seek an inner strength to do something they believe in.
The unConference was a true success and I met so many amazingly smart and talented women. I was pleased that ipHouse sponsored this event and that I was able to attend!

Family of man held in NKorea worried, encouraged
Derek Sciba, a family friend of Washington state's Kenneth Bae, held for more than a year in North Korea, sits in an office in Seattle on Monday, Jan. 20, 2014. "Our end goal is to see Kenneth reunited so he can recover emotionally and physically. He has chronic health problems," Sciba said. (AP Photo/Donna Blankinship)
SEATTLE (AP) — The family of an American missionary held more than a year in North Korea was heartbroken and encouraged by a brief news conference in which Kenneth Bae, wearing a gray cap and inmate's uniform with the number 103 on his chest, apologized and said he committed anti-government acts.
"My brother is not a number to me, or to the rest of his family," his sister Terri Chung of Edmonds, Wash., said in a statement Monday. "He is a kind and loving husband, father, son and brother — and needs to be home immediately."
Chung also apologized to North Korea and pleaded for it to release Bae, saying the family is concerned for his health and she could "see that he was distressed."
"Our family sincerely apologizes on Kenneth's behalf," she said. "We humbly ask for your mercy to release my brother."
Family friend Derek Sciba told The Associated Press that Bae has chronic health problems.
"On the one hand it's heartbreaking to see him in a prison uniform at the mercy of folks in North Korea, but on the other hand it's encouraging to see him and that he's able to speak," Sciba said. He is a friend of Chung's and part of a group pushing for Bae's release.

While she still maintains a presence on Whitney and behind the scenes of 2 Broke Girls, Whitney Cummings will no longer be on E!, which will probably come as news to many Screen Junkies readers who never knew that she had a talk show on E!.
Well, she did. And now it's gone. And it's never coming back.
The fact that the show was titled Love You, Mean It with Whitney Cummings makes us want to make with the confetti and kazoos in celebration, but the fact that it's probably going to be replaced with something Chelsea Handler related means that the kazoos will fall out of our mouths, slack-jawed, and the confetti will be stuck to our face with dried tears any moment now.
Don't get us wrong, though, we're all still holding out hope for the TV adaptation of Are You There Vodka? It's Me, Chelsea, provided of course, that the show lasts for only one episode consisting of Handler being forced to butt-chug a handle of Popov.

Successfully Using Subconscious Mind Power power of the mind Brainwave entrainment:- This can develop mindpower and have other benefits using revolutionary audio technology.
Using specially recorded frequencies, your brainwaves can be attuned to the proper frequency to improve memory, release endorphins for pain relief and other beneficial effects. Other frequencies allow you to get into a state of meditation very quickly. This is necessary for you to be to successfully communicate with your subconscious mind. Still other frequencies can activate parts of your body that are known as chakra energy centers power of the mind. A chakra in the center of your forehead is called the 'third eye chakra come' and is said to be responsible for psychic powers. But in fact, you don't really 'develop' psychic powers.
Instead, all of these powers are already there within you. Some believe that many thousands of years ago, people did indeed have the type of enhanced mind power we're talking about, but in the ensuing years it's been ignored, repressed, and 'locked away' where it can't be accessed in our minds power of the mind. So developing mindpower is really just unlocking all your powers and true potential of being a human being.
TheMind-Power Presentation Psychokinesis can be termed as one psychic extreme of such mind over matter phenomenon. In simple terms it refers to the psychic ability of a person to move physical objects with the power of his/her thoughts.
Suppose you are hungry and your mind had the power to make the bread fly out from the refrigerator and into your hands? Sounds too good isn't it? This paranormal phenomenon was researched by parapsychologists in the 19th century in order to study the degree to which human mind was responsible for moving matter from one place to another with the power of thoughts. At first when the reasons were attributed to ghosts and spirits it was coined Telekinesis while later on when the human mind power came into the scene it was coined psychokinesis.
Two types of psychokinetic phenomena exist based on the measurement of the same. Micro- psychokinesis occurs when the changes or movement are minute in dimension often requiring scientific instruments to see them. Macro- psychokinesis however are larger movements that one can easily see with his naked eyes. It is said that the human mind is more powerful than anything else in the world. The power to concentrate, the ability to use will power in self improvement, the power to hold on during instances of intense pain to even moving matter with the power of thoughts, all fall under the scope of the immense human mind power. Another process that is a more advanced procedure is using brainwave entertainment. It's where you sit back, relax, and channel your thoughts through sound frequencies.
Some of the other things that the brain can do include enhancing memory and enhancing natural psychic powers.
The differing frequencies can do a lot of things concerning mind power power of the mind. This advanced procedure works wonders. One of the gateways to your subconscious mind and its inherent mind power is hypnosis power of the mind. An example is hypnosis training to quit smoking, and hypnosis training to lose weight or break other addictive behaviors. The subject goes to a session, relaxes and listens to someone tell them over and over again that they don't want to do the behavior in question, they no longer have the desire and so forth. Then it happens for them. These hypnotists can help people believe for themselves that they can quit smoking.
And all of that happens through the power of the subconscious mind - with a little help from the hypnotist. Schumann Resonance: Mindpower Music with brainwave entrainment 7 ... Scientists have been looking into this for quite some time. A great example of this is the Placebo Effect.
The control group in a test are given a placebo and the experimental group are given the medication being tested. The odd thing that was first documented in the 1870s, and corroborated throughout the 20th century is that some percentage of the control group will have the same effects as the people getting the actual medicine; this percentage can be as high as 30% ore more; and it's something that drug studies have to correct for. Unbelievably there is very little difference between the groups power of the mind. Although the group with the placebo may not have had quite the intensity of results that the other group had it was still far more than if they had not taken any pill at all. Both groups think that they're receiving the medication and their subconscious mind power goes to work, making them actually experience the effects which they believed would occur. For this reason, some physicians would rather not tell patients about the side effects of a given drug when prescribing it for the first time power of the mind. A few simple steps can help us guide our subconscious mind and harness the unlimited powers of it to develop out hidden potentials. The following are some of the process to do the same. The simplest technique to control and guide your subconscious is through mental affirmations. As the name suggests, affirmation refers to continuously or repeatedly telling yourself about something positive which you want to attain or achieve. Let�s say that you have a job at hand which you don�t want to do. This being the case, you are bound to experience a deeply tired feeling. This is a stress response to the job which you find boorish and it cuts of the vital energy required for you to complete the same. In such cases mental affirmations go a long way to in finishing the job successfully power of the mind. The first method for affirmation in this case would be to repeatedly remind yourself about all the benefits and positives that would take pace once the job is done. The second method which you can try is to face the mirror and repeatedly tell yourself that you are the best.
E.g. you can say � 'I can do this job the best, better than anybody else' Apart from the paranormal aspect of mind over matter, this concept also has its share of significance in philosophical or spiritual doctrines concerned with personal growth power of the mind.
In this regard, mention may be made of the topic of responsibility assumption where it is entirely focused around the issue of mind over matter power of the mind. Responsibility assumption is essentially all about vesting the responsibility of your future life on your own self proposing that one's destiny is nothing but the function of his own mind power of the mind. Apart from this, the law of attraction and affirmations also journey along the same path laid down by the new age spirituality where mind is at the helm of all affairs. According to the Law of attraction, if an individual's mind focuses all its attention and concentration on an object of desire visualizing himself attaining the same and constantly affirms his mind that its coming his way, then the power of his mind attracts the object of desire from the universe into manifestation in reality.

I made this recipe for a pot luck breakfast and it was delicious and very easy to make. I doubled the recipe, which required extra cooking time. I used a loaf of Italian bread that I let dry out for a few days prior (I did this on purpose). I cubed the bread instead of cutting it in slices for ease of serving for a crowd and I did not cut the crust off. I didn't even notice the crust while eating the baked casserole, though I suspect that an especially hearty crust would likely detract from the texture. I added 1/2 teaspoon each of nutmeg and ginger to the cinnamon for the bottom "paste" layer, which added a nice flavor. Lastly, I included the blueberries before baking so that they would be baked in and warm. I would definitely make this again. I think that the intact slices would be equally nice and I'll try that for a family brunch. I really liked that the sweet layer was on the bottom and not mixed throughout the bread layer - it made for a nice sweet surprise and you could control how much of the sweetness you wanted per serving. I think that some chopped pecans or other nuts would make for an even better flavor and try that next time!flag if inappropriate
I've made this twice for breakfast potlucks. It's fantastic. The second time, I forgot to buy fresh berries so I cheated by placing a layer of strawberry jam between and on top of the layers of bread. Not as healthy as fresh berries, but still YUMMY! Also, this travels very well in one of those carrying cases with the pack you can heat up in the microwave.flag if inappropriate
YUM! This was our Thanksgiving morning breakfast this year. I did reduce sugar and butter a little bit based on reviews here. It was delicious. I loved that it was not swimming in sugar. The final 10 minutes, I just added a container of blueberries that had been rinsed. Amazing transformation after only a few minutes. They created little pops of jam as you took a bite. Served with a dusting of powdered sugar via a sifter. Really yummy - whole family loved it!flag if inappropriate
I'm not going to rate it because I changed the recipe, but this was delicious with only 1/2 cup of butter and 3/4 cup of brown sugar which I blended with the milk, eggs and cinnamon instead of creating a paste for the bottom. My kids loved it and I will definitely be making this the next time we have a brunch. So easy.flag if inappropriate
Followed the previous comments. Made half the recipe and used only 1/2 a cup of sugar.Mixed the milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon and added it to the sliced bread. Added frozen blueberries about 10 mins before removing it from the oven.Came out fantastic.flag if inappropriate
I mixed the butter, sugar, cinnamon, milk and eggs together and poured the mixture over the bread in the casserole dish in order to have more even distribution. It worked well. I also assembled this the night before to save time in the morning. Easy and delicious. It is not overly sweet, but you don't need to drizzle any syrup on after the way you would with regular french toastflag if inappropriate
This had great taste and texture but a little too sweet for me. Also, the butter-sugar paste meant some bits were extra-sweet while others had not sugar at all. Next time I would put melted butter, sugar and cinnamon (half the quantities maybe) in the egg mix for a more even taste.flag if inappropriate
Also - I made half the recipe and used a 4x8 inch loaf pan which worked perfectly.flag if inappropriate
This had really nice taste and texture but the butter-sugar paste was too sweet for me - also there were bites with super-sweet crunchy caramel and others with no sweetness. I'll just put some sugar, melted butter and cinnamon in the egg mix next time for a more even flavour.flag if inappropriate
Delicious! So easy to make, and no standing over the stove making endless portions of French Toast. 6 people served together! Great for a weekend brunch.flag if inappropriate

One of the best Twins so far, Eduardo Escobar is enjoying the wave
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS - These days there are a lot more smiles than tears for Eduardo Escobar. It wasn't always that way for 25-year-old from Venezuela.
Friday night, Escobar was the unsung hero of a walk-off victory for the Twins against the Chicago White Sox, the team that in 2012 traded Escobar as part of a package to land Francisco Liriano.
Escobar drove in a pair of runs with a 2-RBI double in the second inning, which at the time put him just two doubles behind Miguel Cabrera for the American League lead in doubles, and tied him with Trevor Plouffe for the Twins lead. Escobar also worked a one-out walk in the ninth inning, and was leading off second base when Brian Dozier lifted a soft line drive over the head of shortstop Alexei Ramirez. Escobar bolted for third and rounded for home as the left fielder made a strong throw to the plate. Escobar evaded a potential tag with his slide and the Twins jumped around the infield celebrating their walk-off victory over the division rival. Escobar was happy.
How did he get to this point? And will it continue?
The journey
He signed with the Sox organization in 2008 as an amateur free agent out of Venezuela when he was 16 years old. He spent years working his way up the minor league ladder, hoping to one day make it to Chicago's south side. Then, on July 29, 2012, Chicago sent him to Minnesota with Pedro Hernandez in the Francisco Liriano trade. The Twins then sent him to Triple-A Rochester.
"When they traded me, I remember that my last game was in Texas," Escobar said. "It was a very good game. [Manager Robin Ventura] called me into his office. 'Escobar, you've been traded to Minnesota.'"
"So I cried. I [spent] one week crying because all my career I was playing with the White Sox. I don't know what happened."
It probably didn't help that he went from part-time Major Leaguer back to riding buses in the minor leagues. There's not really any way to soften that blow. A common refrain among players is that it's hard to come to grips with the first time getting dealt, especially if you're young, but once you age and mature professionally it becomes clearer that baseball at this level is, first and foremost, a business. Escobar said it took about two weeks of counseling from his mom and close friends for him to realize it could work out for the better.
"But I'm fine now, I'm happy I get to play every day," Escobar said over the weekend.
"Robin told me I've got a great opportunity over there [with the Twins] and I knew that I wasn't starting [every day with Chicago]," Escobar said. "You go over there and get a chance to play every day."
White Sox third base coach Joe McEwing coached and managed Escobar at several stops on the minor league ladder, as each man worked his way toward the big leagues. Escobar said he considers McEwing a father figure.
"To see the maturity process that he went through from day one of A-ball, then telling him he was going to Double-A for the first time and then managing him at Triple-A the year later, continue to grow and get better every day and then to tell him he was going to the big leagues for the first time-it's a pretty special feeling," McEwing said.
Even though Escobar wasn't particularly productive at the time of the Liriano trade, McEwing said it was a tough loss for the club. The tell-tale sign, he said, was the first time the Twins played the White Sox after the trade. Escobar walked through Chicago's pregame stretch to greet his old teammates, and every one of them shook his hand or gave him a hug, McEwing said.
"That's the impact he had on a lot of people," McEwing said. "When we traded him, it was tough for our club, tough for our organization. It was like we lost one of our kids."
Solid 2014 production
The Twins have been short on quality middle infield prospects in recent years, meaning there was on opportunity for Escobar to play. He's been quietly terrific this season for the Twins, batting .299/.347/.451 and playing mostly shortstop and third base. Escobar has been Minnesota's second best player, according to FanGraphs' Wins Above Replacement. Baseball Reference calculates the fielding component of WAR slightly differently, and that measure rates him as the sixth best position player on the Twins. Still, not bad for a guy making a half-million bucks who could be under team control for four more seasons.
Escobar will be fairly close to the 'Super 2' cutoff point, meaning he could be due for an extra year of arbitration raises, as Jesse Lund pointed out on the Twinkie Town blog. It will be hard to tell if for certain he'll qualify until later in the season. That means he could be a little more expensive over his six years of team control.
His fielding hasn't hurt the Twins-whether he's played shortstop for Danny Santana to go to center field, or, more recently, filled in at third base when Trevor Plouffe hit the disabled list. His strong arm is an asset at either position.
He's made the "hustle double" a part of his repertoire.
"When I'm swinging hard, swinging good, my first thinking is go hustle to second base," Escobar said with a big smile. "When the ball is on the line I have a chance [at second] if I hustle."
Will it continue?
And that's part of the question with Escobar. Is his production smoke and mirrors? He was not on the radar for many fans before this season as anything beyond a bench player. It's nice he can hit on either foul line and turn it into a double based on his speed. But is that a skill that can continue or is some of it luck?
His minor league track record suggests his ceiling probably is that of a Major League utility infielder, players who typically wind up on the bench. He's having a great season for the Twins and has quietly been one of their best players.
Although he's been a pleasant surprise for the Twins, it's unlikely he'll continue his current performance. It's impressive to maintain that for 200 plate appearances like Escobar has, but the Twins should be wary of his strikeout-to-walk ratio. He strikes out three times as often as he walks, which is Pedro Florimon and Jason Kubel territory. For that statistically-inclined, his batting average on balls in play (.369) probably is due for some regression, too. Only Danny Santana (.398) has a higher BABIP among Twins regulars, and it's 90 points higher than his 2013 BABIP. He's hitting a few more line drives this season and because of his speed, he probably can sustain a higher BABIP than the league average. But I'd expect that rate to come down, which would hurt his overall numbers.
Some of that regression already has started. In his past 100 plate apperances, Escobar is hitting .242/.303/.352, more in line with his career numbers.
Making the most
Escobar mentioned that part of the reason he was surprised to be traded was that his final game with the White Sox had been a good one. Indeed, he played shortstop and batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with an RBI against the Rangers. But at that time he was batting just .207/.281/.276 and looked an awful lot like a utility infielder.
He talked a lot about opportunities in a conversation over the weekend. For now, he's enjoying the ride with the Twins. Escobar is engaged to be married.
"I'm very, very happy because the coaches, Terry [Ryan]--I've got the opportunity to play every day," Escobar said.
He added that he hasn't talked with the front office about his future, whether they view him as a shortstop, a third baseman or a utility infielder and bench player. Each day Ron Gardenhire pencils his name into the lineup is a chance to showcase what got him here. That, for now, is good enough for Escobar; reason enough to smile.

Lawmakers in the House voted 84-65 to kill the measure, which would have allowed voters to determine whether to amend the state Constitution to prevent future efforts to limit hunting and fishing rights through citizen initiatives.
The Maine House has killed a bill to amend the state's constitution to prevent any future effort to limit hunting and fishing rights through citizen initiatives. The vote was 84-65.
The state Senate approved the measure yesterday. Lawmakers were divided on whether such a step would protect Maine's heritage or violate First Amendment rights.
Democratic Rep. Stephen Moriarty of Cumberland opposed the measure, saying constitutions are not to be treated lightly.
"They are to be amended only when the fundamental rights of the people require that it be done," he said. "That is not the case in this particular situation."
Democratic Rep. Brian Jones of Freedom says while he thinks it would be unwise for the citizens of Maine to include an article in the state Constitution that limits their right to petition, he thinks the people of Maine should decide the matter.
If the measure had been approved by lawmakers, Mainers would have been asked to vote on the issue during a statewide referendum.
This story was reported and written by Ed Morin.

Led by individual medallist Natalie Bodnar's 1 under 70, the Lady Dons finished their 12-0 undefeated season with an all-time low tournament score of 386 on Monday in Brentwood. The win enables them to hang an "Undefeated League Championship Banner" in the Skip Mohatt Gymnasium at Amador Valley.
Monique Riley posted a 76, placing her in the top five for the tournament and No. 3 in the East Bay Athletic League. Kimberly Liu wrapped up EBAL MVP honors with a 79, only going 14 over par for the whole season. Sahar Ali had her best tournament with an 80; Kelly Shotwell scored an 81; and Sabrina Bodnar had a strong 84, in what was her second 18-hole high school tournament.
The team now faces post-season play that begins Oct. 31 as they defend their North Coast Section title.

"I love it. I've been doing it for years," Durham said. "I am in the Marine Corps, so I have always been real big on firing weapons."
Durham said this marks his sixth year as a pirate re-enactor and his fourth year with experience doing black-powder weapon demonstrations.
Grand Haven residents Madelaine Rogers and Hannah Fidelman said the primary reason they turned out to the library and Central Park on Monday night was for the weapons demonstrations.
"It was pretty awesome," Rogers said.
The two said they both enjoyed the firing of the cannon, though they are somewhat interested in pirates, and this was the first time they had attended the library's pirate activities or the Pirate Festival.
To see more photos from Monday's events, click here.
According to Durham, the weaponry demonstrations have a way of pulling people in and drawing their attention.
"It's like fireworks," Durham said, "only you're right there next to them when they go off. (People) love the boom, they like the smoke and they like the fire — and I think that's what brings them in."
Seeing an actual cannon being shot is a different experience than seeing a rifle or handgun fired, he added. "It's kind of recreating history for them," Durham said.
Following the loud explosions in Central Park, the festivities moved inside the library, where a "Meet the Pirates" event took place. People sampled pirate food and took part in other activities.
Larry Halverson, Loutit District Library's public relations coordinator, said the meet-and-greet was a way for people to get one-on-one time with pirates.
"This pirate meet-and-greet has really turned out to be bigger than what I anticipated, and we have a really nice crowd in there," he said.
The week-long slate of events continues today. The week includes children's activities, adult discussions and a sail-in along the waterfront at 5:30 p.m. Friday.
"The sail-in is always the favorite," Halverson said. "We're going to use a lot of black powder for the sail-in,"

Kilimanjaro: Seth Waterfall & Team Arrive!
Posted by: | September 11, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Hello from Tanzania! This is Seth along with the Kilimanjaro Team. Everyone has arrived on schedule and we have just enjoyed our first evening at the Dik Dik Hotel. The hotel staff is really great and the food they serve here is top notch, which was very welcoming after our long travels.
Tomorrow we will take the first step towards the mountain by prepping our gear and packing. After that we all plan to head into the city of Arusha to experience the market there. We'll check in again tomorrow.

Kilimanjaro: Seth Waterfall & Team Explore Arusha
Posted by: | September 12, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Hi, this is Seth with a quick check-in from Arusha, Tanzania. All is well here at the Dik Dik Hotel. Everyone is getting ready to embark on our journey tomorrow. Today we had a great breakfast under mostly cloudy skies. Everyone had a great time getting to know each other and the group is meshing nicely. After reviewing the trip itinerary we moved on to a gear check and a talk about how to pack for the mountain. Those activities took up most of the morning. After lunch we took a ride into downtown Arusha where we visited the local market as well as the 'Cultural Heritage Center' curio shop. The clouds cleared off in the afternoon and the temps warmed up considerably. We are all psyched up to start the trek tomorrow and are looking forward to a great climb on Kilimanjaro.

Kilimanjaro: Team Checks in from First Camp
Posted by: | September 13, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 9,800'
Jambo! This is the Kilimanjaro team checking in from 9,800' on Kilimanjaro. Today we completed our first day on the mountain and arrived at the Machame Camp in good style. It was a great day for walking with overcast skies which kept the temperature very comfortable. The trail was a bit muddy for a bit today but our camp is nice and dry. We're hanging out in our kitchen tent now having popcorn and tea. After that we'll have dinner and then it will be time to crawl into our tents for our first night on the mountain.

Hello from Seth and the Kilimanjaro crew.
We are on the trail heading to the Shira Plateau. Today we got our first view of the mountain since we've been in Africa. The 'Snows of Kilimanjaro' are are fully in view. Everyone is enjoying meeting folks from all over the world while we're hiking. We'll check in tomorrow when we are on the way to Barranco Camp.

Kilimanjaro: Team Members Set New Personal Altitude Records
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 15, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 15,000'
Hi this is Seth, checking in from 15,000' on Kilimanjaro.
We have enjoyed another great day on the mountain. As we left our Shira Plateau Camp we ascended to 15,000' and everyone on the team reached a new high altitude record today. This is a great mountain to push your personal altitude records as our packs are light and we are ascending without crampons, ice axes and other alpine climbing gear. We're about to drop back down about 2,500' to our camp for tonight. Tonight's camp is set at the base of the great Barranco Wall, a steep canyon emerging from Kilimanjaro's southern side.
We will check in again tomorrow.

Elevation: 13, 600
This is the Kili team checking in from the top of the Barranco Wall. We've just ascended the steepest part of our trek. We started this morning at 12,600' and have climbed just over 1,000 vertical feet. The views of the Heim Glaciers on the upper mountain were awesome this morning. The clouds have come in now which will give us pleasant hiking conditions the rest of the way.
Tomorrow we will ascend to high camp!

Kilimanjaro: Team at High Camp!
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 17, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 15,000
We're at high camp!
We pulled into Barafu Camp (approx. 15,000') today right at noon. When we awoke this morning a weather system had moved in overnight. We were sandwiched between a low layer if clouds an an upper layer of clouds. As we began our hike the clouds enveloped us and it began to rain. After an hour the rain turned to snow which is much better for us. All in all it was a fun day of hiking.
We are about to have lunch after that it will be relaxing time until dinner an a few hours after that we'll begin our summit push! Wish us luck.

Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Hello from the village of Mweka! The group is all doing great. We started the day at our last camp, elevation 10,000 feet, with a great breakfast followed by a closing ceremony with our whole team. After that we hit the trail for a 3.5 hour hike down to the park gate. After signing out we had lunch and now we are riding in the truck back to the Dik Dik hotel. Everyone is psyched to hit the showers and start the celebration party.
After tonight our trip will shift gears as we start our four days of Safari! That's all for now.

Kilimanjaro: Safari Begins
Posted by: Seth Waterfall | September 20, 2011
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
The RMI Kilimanjaro Team is now the African Safari Team! We have just spent the afternoon viewing wildlife in Lake Manyara National Park. After our celebration dinner last night everyone was happy to sleep in an actual bed for the first time in a week. After breakfast this morning we left the Dik Dik hotel and drove a few hours to Lake Manyara. Once we were there we rolled the tops back on our Land Cruisers for optimal animal spotting. The safaris here never disappoint and today was no exception. Elephants, giraffes, water buffalo and more monkeys and baboons than we could possibly photograph were just some of the animals we saw.
Now we are on the way to the Plantation Lodge where we will spend the night. Tomorrow we are off to Ngorongoro Crater!

"Stuff the Bus" Campaign at Roger Dean Stadium
JUPITER - With the end of summer approaching and the first day of school steadily inching closer for thousands of children around Palm Beach County, Roger Dean Stadium is proud to announce their "Stuff the Bus Campaign".
If you have driven past the stadium in the past week or so you may have noticed a giant yellow school bus parked outside of Gate C. Roger Dean Stadium would like to extend a special thank you to the Palm Beach County School District for allowing usage of the school bus. RDS and WPBF 25 have teamed up with hopes of collecting enough school supplies to "Stuff the Bus" by August 12th.
All of the collected items will be donated to the Community Back to School Bash which aims to provide much needed school supplies for underprivileged children of Palm Beach County. The Community Back to School Bash is presented by the PBC Office of Revitalization.
Anyone who donates at least three school supplies that are included on the list found on www.RogerDeanStadium.com, will receive an undated ticket good for general admission to any home game before September 1st (excluding Aug. 10th & 24th). The list of items includes the basic school supplies such as composition notebooks, binders, folders, #2 pencils, crayons, colored pencils, rulers, etc. All that are interested in donating are asked to bring the supplies to the RDS ticket office anytime from 9 a.m. - 8 p.m. on weekdays, noon-8 p.m. on Saturdays and 3 p.m. - 7 p.m. on Sundays. The campaign will run until Monday August, 12th.
On August 10th, Roger Dean Stadium will be hosting "Back to School Night" where the first 500 kids, 15 and under, will receive a custom Palm Beach Cardinals/Jupiter Hammerheads backpack as they walk through the gates. The night will feature an exciting matchup between the Jupiter Hammerheads and Ft. Myers Miracle, as well as multiple vendors spread throughout the concourse giving away school items to fill the special backpacks with. Anyone hoping to receive the special backpack is encouraged to arrive to the ballpark prior to the gates opening in order to secure their spot within the first 500. This event is a fun and efficient way of preparing your children for the upcoming 2014 school year.
Prior to Back to School Night at RDS, Abacoa Town Center is hosting a FREE event beginning at 1 p.m. Their Back to School Event has a family focus on fun in education, safety, nutrition and fitness. The first 500 kids to Abacoa Town Center that day will receive a FREE lunch box. For more details or to get involved, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information on the "Stuff the Bus" campaign or "Back to School Night", please visit www.RogerDeanStadium.com or call 561-775-1818.

After nine years of admiring this restaurant when I lived in San Francisco during college and living on a broke student budget, it finally happened! Moving to Seattle after college, I was able to land a wonderful job which allowed me to live a bit more comfortably and actually save money – which was non-existent before; especially with the high cost of living in SF. I'm sure everyone has those few restaurants they dream of dining at and this was one of them for me.
Four years after moving to Seattle, I decided to take a two week trip back to San Francisco to have a foodie experience for my 27th birthday. My best friend who lives in Long Beach now came up as well and we all had a mini reunion with other besties that I haven't seen face to face in four years (other than Skype). That was the main highlight of this delicious birthday trip! I made reservations for lunch at Boulevard mainly because I knew there were specific things on that menu I wanted.
Opened in 1993 by chef/owner Nancy Oakes, Boulevard is a James Beard Award winning restaurant that combines American and French flavors. This was the perfect spot for lunch since it was such a gorgeous day in San Francisco. We luckily snagged a table by the window next to the Embarcadero for a beautiful view of the Bay Bridge.
Two in the party were vegetarians and they quickly gravitated to the Burrata & Heirloom Tomato Salad. The salad had a very nice balance of textures throughout. From the crisp radishes and cucumbers to the smooth and creamy burrata cheese. My friend also got a soup dish that was a special on the menu (not pictured since she started inhaling it fast).
I went for the Crispy Stuffed Squash Blossoms with Shrimp and Lobster and it was sooo delicious! Perfectly crisp batter and a rich, creamy shellfish filling; this was my favorite of the day. I almost forgot to swirl these around in the lemon aioli; they were just fine on it's own. If cost wasn't an issue, I could seriously eat a whole bucket full of these like they were chicken wings!
Who has two thumbs and is addicted to shellfish? This gal right here! Continuing on my seafood theme, I got the Maryland Soft-Shell Crab. Im a soft-shell crab fanatic and must order it whenever I see it on the menu. The cornmeal coating on the crab and tartar sauce at the bottom gave that Cajun flair. I felt I was taken to Louisiana for a minute. Also, below the crab was a garbanzo bean and corn salad turned up with andouille sausage. I could have scooped all of this up from the plate and sandwich it between two pieces of french bread!
After the meal and the Moscow Mules, we were stuffed! The server came by and asked us if we wanted to dessert. Immediately we said no, but she mentioned since it's my birthday, it's complementary. Okay! I picked the Warm Summer Berry Crisp and it came with this beautiful chocolate "Happy Birthday" sign. We tried to consume it, but we were just too full at that point. I tried my best though!
The staff was very friendly and attentive, the food was spectacular, and the ambiance was inviting. You could come here for a casual meal with friends or a romantic dinner with that significant other (*cough cough* one of these days…). This experience was everything I wanted and more for my birthday. I will make sure to return on my next trip!
