ROSIE O'DONNELL: Trump Reignites Old Feud
Rosie O'Donnell returned to The View Thursday and Donald Trump wasted little time expressing his disapproval.
After the official announcement, The Donald reached out to the New York Daily News to blast his old nemesis. "I think she's got a great agent," he said. "Anyone with so many failures that can go back again and again is amazing to me. It's very sad after the catastrophe that took place when she quit after she was mentally beaten up by Elisabeth [Hasselbeck]. Her show on OWN was a catastrophe, Barbara [Walters] hates her."
Trump thinks the move will have a positive effect, but only temporarily. "The show has really missed not having Barbara on it. With that said, it'll have a short term positive impact, but then you have the long term. Rosie always self-destructs."
Nonetheless, Trump says he's willing to do the show. "It would be the hottest show of the week. I'm the first one they'll think of."

Systems of Care
IHCRC's Gathering Strength and Restoring Harmony Wraparound services program serves children with emotional or behavioral disorders who are also at risk of being removed from either school or the home. The goal of Wraparound is to maintain emotionally and behaviorally challenged children with their family and communities in the most accommodating and least restrictive environment.
Families work closely with IHCRC's Wraparound Team to identify friends, family members and professionals to form a Family Team. The team works with the family to develop a plan to assist in meeting the youth's emotional, educational, intellectual, physical, family, cultural and social needs. The approach is strengths-based, focusing on the family's previous achievements and positive attributes.
Our Systems of Care staff respects the family's cultural values. Above all, the focus is on the family having control over the decisions that affect their lives. While the team may make suggestions, it is ultimately up to the family to decide upon a plan and implement the best course of action. The program typically takes 6-12 months to complete and ends with a special graduation ceremony that the child gets to plan.
Why are Systems of Care needed?
Five to nine percent of children and youth between ages 9 and 17 have serious emotional disturbances that cause substantial functional impairment, and many do not receive the supports and services they need to reach their full potential at home, school, and in their communities.
Many children and youth with serious mental health needs and their families need supports and services from many different child- and family-serving agencies and organizations. Often, these agencies and organizations are serving the same children, youth, and families as IHCRC. By creating partnerships among these groups, Systems of Care is able to coordinate services and supports that meet the ever-changing needs of each child, youth, and family. Coordinated services and supports lead to improved outcomes for children, youth, and families, and help prevent the duplication of services for authorized care among government agencies.

**** started to get ridiculous a couple years ago. Now, it's a miracle if their games are under 4 hours.
The one plus, it takes FOREVER to get to the 7th inning so more beer
Leaked: 10 Months Of The Houston Astros' Internal Trade Talks
Two years ago, the Houston Astros constructed "Ground Control"—a built-from-scratch online database for the private use of the Astros front office. It is by all accounts a marvel, an easy-to-use interface giving executives instant access to player statistics, video, and communications with other front offices around baseball. All it needs, apparently, is a little better password protection.
Documents purportedly taken from Ground Control and showing 10 months' worth of the Astros' internal trade chatter have been posted online at Anonbin, a site where users can anonymously share hacked or leaked information. Found below, they contain the Astros front office's communications regarding trade overtures to and from other teams, as well as negotiations—a few of which actually led to trades. You will find heavy efforts to get a big haul for Bud Norris at last year's trade deadline (before settling for very little), pushes to acquire touted young talents like Dylan Bundy and Gregory Polanco, and even evidence the Astros rejected out of hand a blockbuster deal that could have brought them Giancarlo Stanton.
From a strict baseball perspective, all of this is really interesting just for the insight it offers into how baseball trades work on an operational level. As it turns out, it really isn't too different from your fantasy league, with front office types kicking around ideas, making preposterous demands, gossiping, and discussing various contingencies. If this happens, we'll be looking to do this, but then if this other thing happens, we'll be looking to do this. All of it is worth running through, but a few of the highlights are as follows:
There's lots more to chew over here; if you see anything particularly interesting, drop it in the comments below.
The data, as posted online, was split into two parts: the weeks leading up to last year's trade deadline, and the offseason. We don't know why this is the only info that's leaked thus far, though it's worth noting that Ground Control underwent major upgrades last summer—around the time of the earliest of these messages. As GM Jeff Luhnow said in a Houston Chronicle story on the database:
"We had a very bare-bones interface for a while. After the draft, the next critical milestone was the trade deadline, because we knew we were going to be trading players and we knew we wanted to have all our information organized in a way that would help."
We have a line in to someone in the Astros organization. We'll update if we hear back.
For ease of reading, we've made the entries chronological and filled in MLB executives' full names in place of initials and nicknames. Everything else is untouched.
[Giants assistant GM] Bobby Evans called [Houston AGM David Stearns] to check in on Norris. DS told BE that it's probably a little early for us to consider dealign Norris but are always willing to listen. DS said that when we do trade Norris we will likely be looking for quality over quantity.
[Orioles GM Dan Duquette] called [Astros GM Jeff Luhnow] and expressed continued interest in Norris. JL said that for us to consider it at this point it would have to revolve around Bundy or Gaussman. DD said no on Gaussman but did not dismiss Bundy out of hand. DD said he ahd to talk to his doctors to really see what was going on.
[Dan Duquette] said he would not do Bundy. Suggested Mike Wright and Pedro Strop
SF indicated to [Luhnow] that they would do Blackburn plus another piece but couldn't include Crick.
SF said they could not do Blackburn and Crick but that they would like to keep talking and keep in touch on Norris.
PIT reached out to [Luhnow] and expressed interest in Norris.
[Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos] texted [Luhnow] and asked what it would take for Norris. AA said Aaron Sanchez is off the table but might be willing to talk about anyone else.
[Luhnow] told [Alex Anthopoulos] that we would consider Stroman +. AA said he had a bunch of balls in the air at once but would get back to JL.
PIT said the wouldn't trade Taillion or Polanco. Might consider one of Glasnow, Heredia, or Hanson for Norris.
[Luhnow] told [Phillies GM Ruben Amaro] that we would consider Aaron Altherr. RA said that seemded like a reasonable ask and he was still evaluating where he was. He would get back to us.
Quote:[Tigers GM Dave Dombrowski] and [Luhnow] texted. JL said taht we would do Norris = Veras for Castellanos and that we would consider Norris for Jake Thompson. DD said that SP was not a priority for them now but that they would consider those names and get back to us.
DET said no to Thompson for Veras.
[Luhnow] offered Norris for Blackburn, Mejia, and Mella. SF said no.
PIT asked for second names to go along with Glasnow, Heredia, Hanson for Norris
BOS offered Ryan Lavarnway or Deven Marrero for Norris. We said no.
[Luhnow] told [Red Sox GM Ben Cherington] that it would have to be one of Boegarts, Webster, Bradley, or Cecchini to get in the conversation at this point.
[Ben Cherington] told [Luhnow] that right now they don't think they would consider those names but will let JL know if that changes.
[Pirates GM Neil Hungtinton] said he would not include Polanco in any Norris deal. [Luhnow] asked for Glasnow + Heredia or Glasnow + Kingham and NH said no. NH said he was willing to add to Heredia. NH said he would also consider adding to Heredia with pick 73. JL said that Glasnow had to be the headliner and we were looking for.
[Nationals GM Mike] Rizzo called [Luhnow] to inquire on Harrell. JL told him we would still need a headliner like Giolito because we still value Harrell highly. Rizzo did not respond immediately.
[Dan Duquette] checked to see if we saw a Norris deal without Bundy. [Luhnow] said that was unlikely bud we'd be willing to add to Norris to get Bundy.
[Luhnow] talked to [Cardinals GM John Mozeliak] about STL trade deadline needs. Mo said he might have interest in Bedard but hadn't decided yet. Also said he might have interest in Norris but not at an elite prospect level (he included Wong, Martinez, Wacha, Taveras as elite guys)" [Mo = STL GM John Mozeliak]
[Neil Huntington] offered Heredia + comp pick for Norris. [Luhnow] said no.
[Ben Cherington] texted JL and said they couldn't include Boegarts, Cecchini, Webster, or Bradley but thought they had enough depth to still make an appealing package. JL wrote back and asked if they would consider a package around Barnes and Owens.
SF said they still had interest in Norris. [Luhnow] said they would have to include both Blackburn and Mejia to be competitive.
SF said they wouldn't include Mejia on top of Blackburn.
[Alex Anthopoulos] texted [Luhnow] and asked what a package around Stroman might look like. JL said Stoman + Gose would be in consideration.
[Luhnow] said we would consider Danry Vasquez. [Dave Dombrowski] got back to JL a few days later and said they'd do Vasquez. JL said to do it now we would have to add a minor piece like David Paulino. Given that Paulino is hurt, the deal was structured as a PTBNL with Emanuel Chavez as the other option
KC expressed "mild" interest in Jimmy Paredes as an inventory type player.
TOR reached out on Jason Catro. They said their No. 1 priority this off season is to upgrade over Arrencibia. They want to get a sense for what the price would be on Castro.[David Stearns] emailed [Royals assistant GM] Dean Taylor asking for either Christian Binford or Julio Pinto.
[Rangers GM Jon Daniels] expressed interest in Castro and Singleton, said they were deep at pitching and middle infield.
KC said no to Binford or Pinto and responded with Ogando or Diekroeger. We said no. [Stearns] asked for Jack Lopez.
I spoke with [White Sox GM Rick Hahn] today. They have definite high interest in Castro. He said they have four untouchable players - Sale, Quintana, Abreu and Garcia. Other than that, they would consider anything. He said they have had some inquiries about Santiago, Reed, Jones, and may consider moving Viciedo.
[Stearns] spoke to [Angels AGM Matt Klentak]: LAA will look to supplement SP and RP. They are willing to deal from position player strength to fortify other areas. Four players they would consider dealing are Bourjos, Trumbo, Aybar, and Kendrick. DS told MK that of those four, we would likely have interest in Borjous down the r
[Stearns] spoke to [Indians AGM Mike Chernoff]: If Ubaldo accepts qualifiying offer, they will have no payroll flexibility and will stand pat. If Ubaldo declines, as they expect, they will be looking for a SP and left-handed bat, preferably in OF. They think their bullpen is fine. They have received calls on Santana
COL is looking for a corner bat (they bid $63 on Abreu), a starter and bullpen help. They want to keep their core together and so would rather address their needs through free agency, but they may be pushed into trading Dexter Fowler. They have received inquiries (KC is one) and aren't ruling it out.
[Stearns] talked with [Dodgers director of baseball contracts] Alex Tamin: LAD is looking to acuire some back end SP depth and up the middle infield depth. They believe they have depth in the pen and would be willing to deal from it (AT mentioned Belisario and Guerra). LAD also has four OF for three spots and would be willing to talk about Crawford
[Stearns] spoke to [Royals AGM] Dean Taylor: DT said their first priority is to keep their current SP in place. They would like to bring back Santana and Chen but don't know if that's possible. They expect their payroll to be at $85MM next year. They would also like to add a bat in RF.
[Stearns] spoke to [Mets AGM] John Ricco: JR said that they have some pressure to get better next year but have some payroll flexibility to help them do that. They are looking for corner OF help, a veteran starter, and a little bullpen help. Overall they're looking to incrementally upgrade where they can.
[Stearns] talked with [Giants VP of pro scouting] Jeremy Shelley. Jeremy asked me how we saw Harrell playing into our plans next year given he is out of options. I told him that right now Harrell is penciled in for our starting rotation. He said if he becomes expendable for us they would have interest
[Braves AGM John Coppolella] reach out to [Astros director of pro scouting Kevin Goldstein] to ask if we had interest in Paul Janish.
[Alex Tamin] told [Stearns] that if we consider trading Barnes this off season we should let them know. They view him as a good reserve OF/depth piece.
[Alex Anthopoulos] said Lawrie was untouchable. Sounded like they might consider a smaller deal for Stroman but later in off season.
[Rick Hahn] asked [Luhnow] if Hector Santiago would entice us. JL said that was not enough for Castro. RH came back later in the day and asked if Bourjos (from LAA) would entice us in a Castro context?
[Luhnow] told COL that we would be willing to structure a deal around Harrell
COL told [Luhnow] that they are listening on Fowler.
[Luhnow] talked to [Marlins GM Dan Jennings] and said we had interest in Stanton. DJ said he doesn't think he'll trade Stanton and the only deal he could think of from us that would work would be Springer and Correa. JL said that would not work. JL posited a deal around Cosart and Deshields.
COL said they wouldn't do Harrell alone but asked if we would add. When [Luhnow] began to press they backed off on Harrell and didn't seem to have real interest. COL said they have multiple offers for Fowler. JL asked if they would be interested in any of our other pitchers.
[Luhnow] spoke with [Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik]. Jazk Z said he's getting a lot of calls from Clubs asking him if he can get Castro from us. Jack Z asked if we would do Ackley for Castro. JL said no, we wouldn't do that. Jack Z asked if there was someone he could add to Ackley. JL said he would take a look.
COL offered Fowler and Ortega for Cosart and Barnes
[Yankees AGM Billy Eppler] reached out to [Stearns] to see if we had interest in Chris Stewart.
COL interest in Harrell has dropped, not a factor at this point. They consider Barnes a nice 4th OF with good defense. They like both Lyles and Oberholtzer and would likely trade Fowler for both, but not for just one.
[Athletics GM Billy Beane] offered [Luhnow] Anderson for two of Deshields, Peacock, Stassi.
[Padres] want Jackson or Gonzalez, pref in that order. I asked about Oramas and Roach and he said that was too rich. I told him we were looking for affordable pop at 1B and SP and he mentioned Blanks/Guzman/Medica as guys they would consider moving. He also said they possibly have Stultz available.
SF reiterated interest in Harrell to [Luhnow]. Also said they would not discuss Belt.
MIA said they need a 2B or 3B in exchange for Morrison. Inquired on Altuve and Dominguez. They also expressed interest in Folty, McCullers, and Carlos Perez.
[Mets AGM Paul DePodesta] asked Jeff if we would consider Villar in a Murphy deal.
[Luhnow] reached out to [Ben Cherington] on Carp. BC said that they likely value Carp more than other Clubs and would likely want real prospect value in return.
[Nats GM Mike] Rizzo reached out and expressed interest in Corporan.
[Luhnow] indicated we would consider Nate Karns. [Mike Rizzo] said they would not do Karns.
[Luhnow] asked [Paul DePodesta] if they woudl consider Davis for Harrell + Sogard. PD said they value Davis higher for that. He said it appears they may value Davis higher than the market does, so they are comfortable hanging on to him.
[Luhnow] spoke to [Jon Daniels] said at this point they are not looking to trade Moreland but will keep in mind we have interest. JD said they have interest in Stassi and Marwin Gonzalez if we are looking to move either.
Billy Eppler reached out to DS to say that they are still looking to move Ichiro. They would be willing to pay Ichiro down to 2M
Our bench is a joke and our depth is a joke. It is the second year in a row now that when a starter gets injured, we replace him with a minor league caliber player. GMing at its best. SMFH.
Ehhh yes and no. We have nothing in AAA that is ready to contribute in a part time role either....and I consider that part of depth. A lot of Major League teams who have good benches, also have a player or two in AAA that COULD be Major League bench players if said teams have good full benches to begin with. The Giants dont have anything close to those players either.
What pisses me off the most about Gary Brown is that the Mets wanted him instead of Wheeler in the Beltran trade of 2011. WE were the ones that pushed Wheeler instead of Brown. I know Wheeler has had bumps as a Major League starter so far, but Gary Brown is absolutely useless, and will never be a contributor to a ML team.

Senators convened for the start of the 113th Session of Congress Thursday with a renewed focus on the nation's fiscal concerns, as leaders of both parties put down familiar markers on the forthcoming debate over spending cuts and the nation's debt.
The Senate will remain in Democrats' solid control; the party has an expanded majority of 55 seats, up from 53, giving Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) added clout over the chamber.
After the swearing-in of new members at midday Thursday, Reid acknowledged the sharp partisan divides of the last congressional session and said he yearned for more compromise in the coming years.
"The recent effort to avert the 'fiscal cliff' was an example of both the divisions and the collaborations that mark this moment in history," Reid said. "Although the process of resolving some of the fiscal issues facing this country was a difficult and protracted one, in the end our two parties came together to protect America's middle class. That is something of which we can all be proud."
In forthcoming fiscal negotiations, Reid said his caucus "will continue to stand strong for the principle of balance. Any future budget agreements must balance the need for thoughtful spending reductions with revenue from the wealthiest among us and closing wasteful tax loopholes."
But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) made clear that Republicans will remain focused squarely on federal spending cuts.
"President Obama declared the other night that those he calls 'rich' are now paying their 'fair share.' So it's time to move on," he said. "The president got his revenue, now it's time to turn squarely to the real problem, which is spending."
Vice President Biden administered the oath of office to 34 new and reelected senators in alphabetical order, beginning with Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.), the chamber's first openly gay member.
A record 20 women will now hold seats in the upper chamber and several of them will chair committees never before led by a woman. In a bit of symbolism, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) had her official Senate pin pinned to her lapel by Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), the Senate's longest-serving woman.
"We're making progress, 20 and counting, but I don't think we should be satisfied until we have the same number of women in the Senate that represent the percentage of the population who are women," said Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.). "So we still have a long way to go."
Of the 13 new senators joining the chamber Thursday, nine are Democrats or caucusing with Democrats: Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Joe Donnelly (Ind.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Tim Kaine (Va.), independent Sen. Angus King (Maine), Christopher Murphy (Conn.) and Elizabeth Warren (Mass.). (Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii) joined the Senate just last weekend in place of the late Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii).)
The four new Republican senators are Ted Cruz (Texas), Deb Fisher (Neb.), Jeff Flake (Ariz.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who replaced retiring Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.).
Despite the Democratic gains, several of the caucus's new members have vowed not to be reliable "yes" votes for Reid. Donnelly, King, Kaine and Heitkamp especially campaigned as moderates eager and willing to strike deals across the aisle, while King has signaled that he could switch allegiances to the Republican Party if the GOP retakes the Senate in two years.
An early test of Democratic unity could materialize in the coming days as Senate leaders consider two competing proposals to address some of the chamber's procedural rules for filibusters.
The first proposal was drafted by senior Democrats and Republicans, who would like to lessen the ability of a lone senator or a small group to impede progress through delaying tactics — or the mere threat of those tactics — that sometimes prevent Senate leaders from even considering certain bills.
The plan was drafted by Sens. Carl Levin (D-Mich.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) and other longer-serving members who would allow a filibuster on final passage of legislation, meaning that a bill could fail with fewer than 60 votes.
But younger Democratic senators, mostly elected in the past six years, want a senator carrying out a filibuster to actually speak at length on the chamber floor. If that senator eventually gave in, the majority would be able to proceed to final passage on a simple 51-vote majority.
"The Senate is simply not working as it should," is all Reid said on the issue during his floor remarks Thursday, adding that it will be taken up again after next week's week-long recess.
Thursday's proceedings brought several former senators back to the Capitol, most of whom escorted senators to the dais for their swearing-in. Former vice president Walter Mondale stood with Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), while Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) brought back former Sens. Paul Sarbanes (D-Md.) and Joseph Tydings (D-Md.). Newly elected Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) was escorted by former Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) and the man Donnelly is succeeding, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.). After the swearing-in ceremony, former Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio) posed for a picture with Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) at the famed Ohio Clock outside the chamber.

Inflatable Bag Protects Digital Devices In Crowded Areas
The Fugu Bag can be blown up to cushion your gadgets from the urban grind.
Nowadays digital devices are often our most precious possessions. We use them to store our photos, memories, entertainment, work and contacts. They are the passport to our daily lives. But more often than not we carry them around in bags that aren't designed to keep them safe, exposing them to the risks inherent in city life.
Royal College of Art graduate Peng You, in collaboration with ECAL graduate Hongchao Wang, has designed an inflatable bag that protects digital devices in an urban environment. The Fugu Bag is made of a durable carbon-fibre fabric that is coated on both sides with polyurethane. The panels of the bag are welded together, rather than sewn, which gives it extra strength and makes the seams waterproof.
We're seen other products designed that to protect devices, including phone condoms to protect mobiles from the rain, an iPhone case made of flexible concrete and even a tongue-in-cheek design for an airbag phone case, but this is the first inflatable bag we've seen that's designed specifically for this purpose.
You's mission statement speaks to this:
The product is intended for people who work and live in the urban environment. People carry more and more electronic products every day, such as laptops, i-pads, cameras, i-phones, etc., and those things are very valuable, but most carrying bags cannot provide enough protection for those products in case of impact.
Inside, the bag features inflatable sections made of thermoplastic polyurethane film, a strong and stretchable fabric. When inflated, they cushion the bag's contents from any outside impact or shocks. You can inflate and deflate these sections to customize the bag to its contents. The Fugu Bag takes just one minute to pump up, staying inflated for up to five days, and it can be deflated in 10 seconds.
"If you have something sensitive or fragile, the inflating panel provides a safer space for your things. If you don't have anything need to protect, you can just release the air," You told Dezeen.
Many protective bags designed for gadgets is that they can be bulky and weigh you down, which is the last thing you need when riding a bike around the city or squeezing onto the Metro during rush hour. Since it's inflatable, the Fugu Bag has the enormous advantage of being lightweight as well as tough, which makes it easier to use.
The Fugu Bag was presented at the Show RCA 2014.

Legion benefit Oct. 27
By: TIFFANY WOODALL Review Staff email@example.com, Staff Writer
Il Jun Chon is a doctor by day, singer by night. Or, at least he will be Oct. 27 when he and vocal coach Vickie Kissinger perform a benefit concert at the American Legion.
Chon, who practices internal medicine at Ephrata Diagnostics Center and Ephrata Community Hospital, has been tuning his vocal chords for almost two years. Kissinger told him it was time he put his practice to the test, he said.
"I'm very proud of my student," said Kissinger. "That's why I said I think it's time for him to break in. He got his feet wet a little bit, now I think it's time for him to do a show."
The benefit will begin at 7 p.m. and all proceeds will be donated to the American Legion.
"It turned out that my neighbor used to be the former president of the American Legion here," said Chon. "I asked him, 'How are you doing financially?' and his answer was 'Not really good.'" That's when Chon decided his show should act as a fundraiser for the organization.
Chon and Kissinger will perform solos and duets at the event, which will be held in the Legion ballroom. Listeners can expect to be entertained by such classics as Etta James' "At Last" and "Stormy Weather," as well as "All I Ask of You" from Broadway's "Phantom of the Opera," plus other jazz, blues, country and pop favorites.
"Singers are storytellers," said Kissinger. And the story of this benefit is one of appreciation for American veterans.
"I was born in South Korea," said Chon. "Should the American veterans not been there, there would be no South Korea right now. Because the American veterans sacrificed, I'm here because of them right now, in a way. My mother wouldn't be here, my family wouldn't be here." Chon believes his educational and professional opportunities were made possible by American veterans, and he is looking forward to giving back, he said.
Kissinger agrees. Her father served during the Korean War, and her uncles served during World War II.
"I just think that the veterans get very overlooked, and very taken for granted," she said. "Especially when I'm down at the Veteran's Affairs, and I see the people that are there, and no one comes to see them, they're just there."
The duo hopes for a sold out show.
"Along with expectation comes the angst of getting things ready," said Chon. "At the moment, it is kind of exciting to put a show on, and it is my first time, so hopefully it will go well. Hopefully we'll have enough folks out there to support the event. We need folks to come out and enjoy and help out at the same time."
Kissinger, a music educator, is also the winner of this year's PA State Senior Idol competition. In addition to teaching piano and voice lessons, she plays the organ at Ephrata Church of the Brethren and St. John Center Lutheran Church, East Earl.
Chon attended Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and has been an internist in Ephrata for 11 years.
Tickets to the benefit are $10 per person or $18 per couple and may be purchased in advance at the American Legion, 100 Calico St., or at Dr. Chon's office, 808 Pleasantview Drive. Tickets may also be purchased by calling the American Legion at 733-2576, or Dr. Chon's office at 733-6546. For more information, call 721-6434. More BENEFIT, page A16

Was driving home from my mates house late at night when I come up to a Supra TT with a big front mount, big exhaust and had a really loud induction/turbo sound to it.
We came to a red light and he puts his window down and offers me a race.
I play dumb and ask how fast his ride was. He said it was a proven low 11 sec Supra.
Okay. Sounds like fun.
I reply, 'you would kill me man'
He said, 'dont worry, you will be thanking me after I show you what real Japanese car power is all about'
What a d1ckhead.
To cut a long story short. I spanked him from here to Japan and back again.

2) This was happening to me too on a number of apps. Once I put an SD card in for the Android side and moved some apps to the SD card that stopped happening. Why, I am not sure, but it seems to have corrected the issue.
3) This was driving me nuts until Jeff helped me with it. Go into the settings menu on the radio side (not the android side) and go into "System" and change the option for navi sound. Go back over to the android side and set the volume at about 2/3 volume. Now you can just use the volume knob to set volume for Android. Works great.
4) The card to reflash firmware would go into the front left side MicroSD slot.
5) I'm not sure what the max is, but I've used an 8GB and a 32GB with no problems. You do need to format the cards so the unit can see them.
6) You can't upgrade the memory. Unfortunately is a little limited. Move everything you can to the SD card.
Hope thats helpful.
Thanks very much for your advice, I have just about got everything sorted out now, I reflashed the android system earlier which seemed to sort out the issue with Gmail, and then reinstalled the speech app and that was also sorted out.

Makes three 9-by-5-inch or freestanding braided loaves
Here is a special family recipe from my friend Lisa Warren. The austere bread is infused with the strongly scented oil of anise, a plant also known for its soothing digestive qualities. Lisa's recipe is triple this one; she uses a full five pounds of flour to make extra braids for gift giving. Note that the dough rises slowly at room temperature before a final rise and shaping. The crust of this bread is dark and glossy and sprinkled with fennel seeds. You may add a cup or two of golden raisins to the dough, if you wish. This bread freezes well.
1 cup milk
1 cup sugar
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Pinch of sugar
1/4 cup warm water (105 degrees to 115 degrees F.)
6 to 6-1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons pure anise extract
1 egg, beaten, for glaze
1 tablespoon aniseed or fennel seeds, for sprinkling
1. In a medium saucepan or microwave-proof bowl, combine the milk, the 1 cup sugar, and butter. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted. Let the mixture cool until warm, 105 degrees to 115 degrees F. Pour the warm water in a small bowl. Sprinkle the yeast and the pinch of sugar over the surface of the water. Stir to dissolve and let stand at room temperature until foamy, about 10 minutes.
2. In a large bowl using a whisk or in the work bowl of a heavy-duty electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine 3 cups of the flour, salt, and baking powder. Make a well in the center and break the 4 eggs into the well. Gradually mix a few tablespoons of the flour into the eggs, add the anise extract and yeast and milk mixtures, and beat until soft, smooth, and sticky, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft dough that just clears the sides of the bowl is formed. Switch to a wooden spoon when necessary if making by band.
3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 4 to 5 minutes, dusting with flour only 1 tablespoon at a time as needed to prevent sticking. It is important that this dough remain very soft and springy.
If kneading by machine, switch from the paddle to the dough hook and knead for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and springy and springs back when pressed. If desired, transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead briefly by hand.
4. Place the dough in a greased deep container. Turn once to coat the top and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise at cool room temperature until doubled in bulk, about 12 hours or as long as overnight.
5. Gently deflate the dough and let rise again at room temperature until doubled in bulk, 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Gently deflate the dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Grease the loaf pans or parchment-line a baking sheet.
Divide the dough into 9 equal portions. Roll each portion into a rope 12 inches long. Place 3 ropes parallel to each other. Begin braiding, starting in the center rather than at the ends for a more even shape. Take one of the outside ropes and fold it over the center rope, then repeat the movement from the opposite side. Continue by alternating the outside ropes over the center ropes. When completed, turn the dough around and repeat the procedure. Pinch the ends together and tuck them under. Repeat to make 2 more braids. Place each braid into a greased 9 -by-5-inch loaf pan, or on the baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise at room temperature until doubled in bulk or I inch above the rims of the pans, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
6. Twenty minutes before baking, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Brush the tops with the egg glaze, taking care not to let it drip down the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with the fennel seeds. Place the pans or baking sheet on a rack in the center of the oven and bake 35 to 40 minutes, or until deep golden brown, and the loaves sound hollow when tapped with your finger. Transfer to a cooling rack. Cool completely.

Corvette Racers
Morrison 1990 ZR-1 Speed Record: Aver 24-Hour 174.885-MPH! – VIDEO
Race-prepared, stock 1990 ZR-1 Shatters a 50 Year 24-Hour Speed Record
Dateline: 5.22.17 (This story first appeared in the May 2017 issue of "Vette Vues") – Racing Corvettes used to have a long history of durability issues. There are many reasons why Corvette racecars had durability issues, but one of the biggest is easy horsepower. It's always been relatively easy to get a lot of power out of a small-block or big-block Chevrolet engine. If a builder is more oriented towards drag racing, the temptation for an extra 50-horsepower is just too tempting for many builders. That's fine for drag racing where a car is stressed to the max for a matter a seconds. But in endurance racing, you have to finish to win.
From the perspective of the mid-1980s, the new C4 Corvette was light years ahead of the previous two-generation Corvettes. In the mid-1980s Corvettes were so fierce in SCCA Showroom Stock racing that after two years they were kicked out for being too fast! So, the factory-built Corvette racecars duked it out in their own series, The Corvette Challenge. Breakage with the C4 cars wasn't much of an issue thanks to the much-improved structure and suspension, plus the cars weren't powered by massive, torque-monster big-blocks. Continue reading

Pro Line Racing's Eric Dillard walked away from a crash during a private practice session, according to DragZine.
The accident occurred at Virginia Motorsports Park in General Racing's latest "El General" C7 Corvette dragster.

According to the report, that time makes for one of the fastest times ever posted by a door slammer. Continue reading

Corvette Racers Pt. 1 – The 1969 L88 Rebel Corvette!

The $2.85 Million Dollar L88 Corvette Racecar!
Dateline: 10.15.15: This a Corvette racecar story with a happy ending and a big, "Cha-KING!" Racecars are a lot like racehorses, most live hard lives and tend to get used up and discarded. Some cars are saved and later surface as "survivor" cars (the horses go to stud farms). What happens to most is that after the cars no longer competitive; they're sold off, often for not much money. The next owner applies a new livery and makes modifications that take it farther away from the original configuration. A few accidents or a fire later, and the cars are scrap. Continue reading
John Greenwood Tribute Event, November 12-15, 2015 Daytona International Speedway
by Scott Teeters as originally published in Vette Vues
A tribute to John Greenwood's groundbreaking C3 Corvette racecars
Dateline: 10.15.15: In the entertainment industry, there are a handful of one-name legends that include; "Elvis," "Cher," "Ringo," "Liberace" and a few others. In the Corvette community we have; "Duntov," "Shinoda," "Callaway," "Yenko" and a few more. The name, "Greenwood" is definitely in that short list. Just say, "Greenwood suspension," or "Greenwood body-kit," or "Greenwood racecar" and a huge bundle of understanding comes to mind. Continue reading
John Greenwood Retrospective: A Corvette Legend Passes by K. Scott Teeters
On July 7, 2015, the Corvette community lost another legend; John Greenwood passed.
Words and Art by K. Scott Teeters as written for Vette Magazine, republished from SuperChevy.com
Illustrated Corvette Series No. 223
On July 7, 2015, the Corvette community lost another legend; John Greenwood passed. He was 70 years old. John was a member of a very small club of legendary Corvette figures that only needed one name, such that when you said that one name, it spoke volumes. Just a few others are: Shinoda, Lingenfelter, Callaway, Yenko, Guldstrand, and of course, Duntov. Engage any serious Corvette person in some bench racing, drop the name Greenwood and instantaneously all manner of mental images come to mind: suspension packages, C4 body kits, BFGoodrich Stars and Stripes, 427 ZL1 racers, and the most outrageous Corvette racers ever, the C3 widebody "Batmobile" Greenwood IMSA cars.

To celebrate John Greenwood's racing and street Corvette achievements, Jan Hyde of Registry of Corvette Race Cars has organized a special "John Greenwood Tribute Event" for November 12-to-15, 2015 at Daytona International Speedway.
In the entertainment industry, there are a handful of one-name legends that include; "Elvis," "Cher," "Ringo," "Liberace" and a few others.

Greenwood's Sebring 1975 Corvette
The Illustrated Corvette Designer Series No. 211
by Scott Teeters as written for Vette Magazine and republished from SuperChevy.com
John And Burt Take The "Racer Kit" Off-Planet
The L88 "racer kit" package was huge success for the Corvette and brought racing glory through the late '60s and into the '70s. Winning L88s included the "Owens Corning," "Rebel," and the Greenwoods' "BFGoodrich Stars & Stripes" cars. After the Greenwoods' sponsorship expired, John and Burt Greenwood took their Corvettes to a new level. Making power was easy but tires were so wide that the L88 factory flares weren't big enough. Enter the final "racer kit," the widebody. Continue reading
Dick Guldstrand's Signature Edition 50th Anniversary 427 Corvette
Dick Guldstrand's Third "Package" Specialty Corvette
Dateline September 2015. Mr Corvette, the famous Dick Guldstrand recently passed in September of 2015. We look back at the life and times of this Corvette legend. In 2003 Dick produced his version of a 50th Anniversary Corvette. Dick's nickname was of course, "Guldie" and since the Corvette's 50th anniversary would be its "golden" anniversary, Dick's 50th Anniversary Corvette was bright gold with blue accents. And of course a "special" Corvette should be the toughest available version, which in 2003 was the Z06. And to top it all off, the Z06's LS6 was opened up to the magical "426 CID." As it should be!
This was Dick's third specialty "package" Corvette. The GS80 came out in 1986 that was more or less a Showroom Stock-prepared black beauty with very trendy lace wheels. The 1994 GS90 was a full-out re-body of the awesome ZR-1. The Guldstrand 50th Anniversary 427 retained all of the Z06's body parts except for the hood and rear bumper cover that had a subtle lip spoiler. Continue reading

"Mr. Corvette," Dick Guldstrand, Passes Away at 87 Years Old
by Terry Shea as republished from Hemmings Daily Blog
Legendary SoCal hot rodder, racer and all-around Corvette maestro Dick Guldstrand passed away on September 2 at age 87.
A few years back, we featured Dick in our Hot Rod Hero column for Hemmings Muscle Machines. In fact, I had the opportunity to speak with Dick on the day he was celebrating his 84th birthday.
There is nothing quite like the candor of a retired racer, particularly one who has never truly left the arena. Ever the gentleman, Dick's refreshing honesty contrasted with most of today's corporate-backed racers—and I got the feeling it was always that way with the man. Continue reading
Corvette Timeline Tales: September 4, 1956 – The second Corvette SR-2, for VP of Design, Bill Mitchell, is completed
Bill Mitchell launches a purpose-built 1956 Corvette race car
As Director of Styling under Harley Earl and the appointed heir to the Earl throne, Bill Mitchell enjoyed some sweet perks – one being that he could have custom cars built by the Chevrolet styling department. Harley Earl's son, Jerry caused some upper management concern when it was discovered that he was racing a Jaguar. Management felt Master Jerry should at least be racing a GM car, preferably a Corvette – thus the SR-2 was created. The car was a little heavy, but looked cool with its extended nose, fairing cones over the headlights, Halibrand racing wheels, door scoops, twin windshields and a short fin off the rear deck.
Mitchell liked what he saw, but took his a few steps farther by adding a fairing behind the driver with a tall fin attached. Mitchell's SR-2 went through several incarnations. Continue reading

Indeed she felt, whatever the demoiselle might aver, that little option would be given her in the matter.
He would fall in love, not with the demoiselle, but the dower.
He imperiously signed to his guards, and at once the demoiselle was gripped harshly by both arms.
There's for the demoiselle who craved for knights to break lances for her!'
It has been said that D'Hugues was one, but the demoiselle's conduct for some time past renders that improbable.
Also a silk purse, worked by the demoiselle Marie, containing a hundred pieces.
Of course our demoiselle can fly well; one need only look at those wings to know that.
Alone missing from it was the cold, colorless beauty of the demoiselle Marie.
A single word justified everything; she was a demoiselle Afchin.
"—demoiselle," replied Louise, complying with the invitation.

Swedish House Mafia to Play Final Show at Ultra Music Festival
Fri, 16 Nov 2012 16:17:34
Swedish House Mafia Videos
For the international juggernaut known as Swedish House Mafia, it will end where it all began, full circle style. The trio will wrap their final One Last Tour at both weekends of the 15th annual Ultra Music Festival, set for March 15, 16 and 17 and March 22, 23 and 24, 2013 at Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida.
They will bookend the festival with sets on the opening and closing nights on Friday, March 15 and Sunday, March 24, respectively. This marks a significant milestone in their incredible career together as UMF was where Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso made their SHM North American debut in March 2010.
"Ultra was the first place we really built a show for a main stage," said the trio in a statement. "We filmed the whole thing and we played 'ONE' for the first time on that stage. It was a moment we would never forget and became the closing scene in our film, Take One. The energy of the crowd was unbelievable and the fact that it's part of Miami Music Week where so much new music is born made it even more special. It just felt right that we finished where so much was started and we're honored to open and close the festival."
What a satisfying and appropriate send off and a treat for UMF attendees.
Who is going to the Ultra Music Festival to kiss Swedish House Mafia goodbye?

1. The flesh-eating undead date as far back as the 18th century, BC.
You may think you're breaking new ground with that Zombies vs Baristas screenplay you've been penning, but the shambling, ambling living dead ain't exactly a new concept. In fact, stone tablets scrawled with ancient Sumerian story The Epic of Gilgamesh dished about walking, flesh-hungry undead folks as far back as the 18th century, BC. Admittedly, these walkers were a far cry from the contemporary creepy crawlies of Romero-era horror flicks, but that shouldn't stop Gilgamesh: Retribution 3D from stumbling into theaters sometime in the near future. Somewhere, Milla Jovovich's phone is ringing off the hook…
2. The "draugr" of ancient Norse mythology exhibited many traits of the modern day undead.
These flesh-starved souls were, in many ways, the proto-zombies of horror lore. Like their contemporary counterparts, the draugr were reanimated corpses who, with a single bite from their rotted maws, could recruit the living into their undead legions. But unlike modern day undead, these bogeymen favored guarding their own tombs and mortal possessions instead of aimlessly staggering through the land of the living. So, in summary, yes: zombie hoarders were the cornerstone of Norse mythology.
3. Archaeologists may have traced fear of the dead rising dating back to 700 AD.
The science world shook with the 2011 discovery of two unfortunate stiffs found buried deep beneath the Irish countryside. Excavators were befuddled to find that the skeletons — both dating back to medieval Ireland — were buried with baseball-sized rocks jammed into their mouths. At first confounded, the archaeologists later posited one of the most likely explanations for this unconventional burial: the mouth was long thought to be the soul's main portal for leaving — and re-entering — the human body, and the rocks were likely lodged in the cadavers' craniums to stop them from lumbering back to life.
4. Someone even tried to reanimate George Washington's corpse.
It's one of those facts that's so absurd that it can only be ripped from American history headlines. Following his fatal bout with pneumonia, our very first commander-and-chief wasn't buried immediately. The president's corpse was actually kept on ice for a few days before he could be moved to his family vault, and in that time a man named William Thornton — a family friend and physician of the US consul — offered to, er, raise the recently deceased cherry tree-chopper by defrosting him, pumping his lungs with air, and offering up an infusion of lamb's blood. The Washington's politely declined in what was undoubtedly the Most Awkward Conversation of 1799.
5. The word "zombie" originated in Haitian folklore.
Any seasoned purveyor of fine folklore can tell you that much of the modern day zombie myth owes its roots to Haitian folktales. The traditional "zombi" — a key element in the Haitian Vodou religion — was borne by a recently deceased soul being captured and commandeered by a sinister sorcerer, or "boko." Reportedly a derivative of "nzambi," the Kongo word for "dead," the Merriam-Webster dictionary dates the phrase "zombie" back to 1871, where it reportedly first entered the modern English language. Two days later, it entered the first modern Hollywood pitch meeting.
6. The very first zombie movie was even based off Haitian zombie lore.
And it was a terribly far cry from modern day horror fare. Taking inspiration from the Haitian myth mentioned above, the 1932 horror film White Zombie — which, yes, would later inspire the name of Rob Zombie's heavy metal vehicle — remains the first known instance of a zombie on film. But for all its historical prestige, we're hoping future audiences will remember this movie for its most important cinematic contribution: having a middle-aged Béla Lugosi play an evil voodoo master named Murder Legendre. Actually, shame on Rob Zombie — "Murder Legendre" is a much better band name.
7. In fact, there have been reports of "real" zombies in Haiti.
Sure, they weren't the lumbering, brain-craving undead we all know and fear, but numerous reports placed zombie-esque activity in early 1900s Haiti. One of the most notorious stories is linked to Clairvius Narcisse, a Haitian man who was apparently poisoned by his brother, "killed" with a coma-inducing toxin, revived, and forced to work under the influence of a mind-numbing "zombie powder" on a nearby sugar plantation. Following the plantation owner's death, Narcisse escaped with his senses restored, and later returned to his family a full 18 years after his initial "death."
8. Early drafts of "Night of the Living Dead" were…different.
Further proof that nobody gets it right on the first try — not even master of horror George A. Romero — the original version of zombie film forefather Night of the Living Dead was, reportedly, a very different beast. While the actual film would pioneer the look and lore of the modern day undead, the original draft of the movie's screenplay had little to do with staggering hordes of hungry zombies. In fact, it had nothing to do with them; sources say that the original film, then dubbed Monster Flick, was actually a horror comedy about a gaggle of goofy aliens that visited Earth to make friends with a group of human teenagers. Sources also say that it would've been awful.
9. There have been reports of "zombie bees" buzzing around Washington and California.
And now, some terrifying reality to break up all this terrifying fiction: zombie bees are real, they're hungry, they're mad, and they know where you live. Or maybe just that first part. When a bevy of bees were spotted buzzing aimlessly about in California, biologists soon discovered the terrifying truth behind their erratic flight: a swarm of deadly parisitic flies. You see, the flies land on the bees' backs, and actually lay eggs inside of the bees. We'll leave out the grisly details — and boy are they grisly — but the end results are zombified zom-bees that act as undead incubators for the flies. Now, who's hungry?
10. The zombie industry is worth $5.74 billion.
This probably won't come as a surprise to, well, anyone, but according to MSNBC, the undead entertainment industry is worth a staggering (har har) sum of 5.74 billion dollars. Lump in the mega-millions being raked in by those oh-so-popular vampire flicks and you have undeniable proof that horror movies and TV shows are officially keeping our economy afloat.

ComTel listed on the Australian Securities Exchange over 20 years ago, but this week officially completes its rebirth as
The journey from telco to content company reflects shifting priorities presently radiating throughout the communications landscape, and although DPG is a small player compared to giants like Telstra, its transformation is worthy of note.
As the value proposition of traditional telecommunications retail becomes harder to sustain, the sector is under pressure to change – or die.
ComTel first began steering away from its core business as a pre- and post-paid retail mobile wholesaler three years ago under the guidance of then chief executive David Sweet.
The former Vodafone director pursued a two-headed strategy, foreseeing the convergence of mobile and internet services and envisioning a company which could successfully straddle the two.
ComTel acquired online and mobile marketing company Empowered in 2007 for $20 million – a move Mr Sweet said at the time would double the company's size.
The idea was to package the Empowered suite of direct marketing products with mobile.
In 2008, ComTel launched Australia's first advertising-subsidised mobile phone service, SMSpup, offering mobile customers heavily subsidised call charges if they agreed to accept several text messages from advertisers each day.
Although the venture failed to take hold, it marked the beginning of a new way of thinking about mobile services at the company.
But it wasn't until Chris Meehan took over the helm in late 2009 that the focus on the marketing side of the business began to truly sharpen.
Mr Meehan had a somewhat unusual background for a dotcom executive, starting out in real estate, then working as a franchise manager with Elders before making the switch.
Choosing the year 2000 to change direction, Mr Meehan ignored the bad omens of the tech wreck and headed for Domain.com.au.
"I felt at the time online was the way of the future," he said.
"I went in fully aware that this business was under question by a lot of people in the media and also across other industries.
"Everyone was losing faith in the internet."
Regardless, Mr Meehan took on his first digital challenge, using his real estate contacts and knowledge of the property sector to expand Domain.com.au's countrywide client base from 200 to 5000 over his six years in the general manager's chair.
Mr Meehan said his journey through the digital sector was reflective of the industry as a whole.
"When I was at Domain, I learned classified business is all about building up content and building up an audience," he said. "But over time our marketing changed. When I first started we were looking very much at display advertising on websites, print advertising, billboards.
"That progressed as we became very focused on return on investment and what was driving people to the website."
Paid search became a mainstay of the Domain strategy and of search engine optimisation.
"While we still continued to do display advertising and print advertising and the rest, we broadened our campaigns to reflect the growth of online. We were the living embodiment of that."
After six years with Domain.com.au, Mr Meehan moved into online hospitality retail as commercial manager at Travel.com.au in July 2006, before becoming chief executive in 2007.
"That was before its sale to Wotif," he said. "That was really interesting, going from a classified business to building what was still a very new medium, operating an
e-commerce business."
Mr Meehan learnt the value of being able to turn a campaign on or off at the flick of a switch.
"You could try something and if it didn't work you could just switch it off and try something else," he said. "It was pretty exciting."
He ended up at ComTel as chief operating officer of the Empowered group in August 2008.
He was made chief executive officer of the company a year later.
"ComTel's business is under transformation," Mr Meehan said.
"It was when I took over that we commenced the process of actually selling the mobile phone business."
ComTel's mobile assets were sold in July for $9.8 million. Over 60 per cent was sold to satellite voice and data retailer Pivotel and the rest went to an undisclosed wholesaler.
Late last month the company said it was buying performance-based digital marketing company Digital Group Media. The equity purchase price payable on completion of the deal was estimated at 4.5 million to $5 million.
The DGM purchase and the sale of ComTel's mobile assets are due for completion late this month, at which point DPG will have officially made the transition from telco to marketing firm.
"DGM was very much aligned with our Empowered business," Mr Meehan said.
"Both are very much geared towards the performance-based sector. We're paid for our results."
Performance-based describes a genre of marketing in which clients pay for targeted advertising campaigns via a variety of channels including web banners, email, social media and SMS.
DGM brings to Empowered affiliated marketing capabilities, online display and search engine marketing.
Mr Meehan said that apart the deal making good commercial sense, the DGM business was a good cultural fit.
"One thing I've carried through across all my roles is that it's all about the people," he said.
"One thing I do believe in is the quality of the people who work at the company. The most important thing for success is having people who are enthusiastic and capable in their jobs."
The DGM acquisition is forecast to be earnings-accretive in year one.

Wire or rebar in patio
Is it better to use wire or rebar in a 14 x 32 concrete patio? Live in northern Indiana and water doesn't drain well from yard after raining or the snow melts away.
Wire is fine as long as it is installed right,most times it gets left on the bottom,it needs to stay elevated.
raven's right - even aci doesn't recommend any wire/steel UNLESS there's 2" below & above it,,, think the spec reads ' midpoint vertically in a slab +/- 5% - in a 4" thick slab, that equates to .2" - no one can be that accurate. you're far better off placing the conc & installing the proper joints at the correct time,,, fyi, wire mesh adds strength while the green conc is in tension ONLY,,, after the conc cures, all it does is hold the broken pieces together :whistling2: usually the broken pieces are caused by an incorrect joint pattern/size/depth :eek:
You dont have to use wire if you build a proper base by putting down 3" of crusher run and 1" of fill sand. Tamp thoroughly. Along with proper cut joints, this will increase the life of your concrete.

- - How do you clean a partridge? (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/water-fowl/2804-how-do-you-clean-partridge.html)
How do you clean a partridge?
I got 6 partridge yesterday, I was starting to get a little grosed out by cleaning 6 birds. The way that i clean a partridge is to spread the wings out on the ground and step on them and pull the legs. After that I cut the legs off and cut away the breast meat. That is not as gross as gutting a deer but you normaly don't gut 6 deer in a row!!:bag: Is there anybody that cleans a partridge a diferent way that works for you?
i cut off the wings at the joint same goes for feet and then the neck with poultry shears . i cut open at the bottom and pull out the guts and rinse with water.then pluck you can skin it by making a slit then pulling.
I'm pretty much like joel, but after cutting off the legs,wings,neck I then skin it and remove the guts and wash out the inside cavity.
By :This is amazing
i step on the wings and pull just untell it splits apart then i grab were the neck used to be so the top of the breast there should be a little spot for your finger put you finger there and pull and everything should come off including the skin

"Of all the cards I've ever purchased, received, or seen, these are the best by far. Truly amazing quality. I can't believe they're so cheap - they must do a lot of volume. I suppose the internet gives them efficiencies brick and mortar stores cannot match."
"These cards were a little tongue-in-cheek because our fridge is covered with baby announcements - but I have to say - we were DELIGHTED with the announcements and everyone loved them!"
"I used a dog announcement for a moving announcement and it came out so cute. The quality of the paper was great! Definately order more from this company!!"

Ubicación, Ubicación, ubicación.
Nos encantó el complejo y la piscina, la playa, el océano estaba increíble y limpio. La comida era buena y la gente muy amable. La recepción era grosera, y el gerente de recepción era horrible. Faltaba personal así que tardamos una eternidad para que nos sirvieran una bebida en el bar. Pedíamos 4 a la vez para compensar. El servicio de habitación sirve sólo tortillas y hamburguesas y sólo disponible después de las 23:00h.
El servicio y la atención del personal Por decir algo, pensaba que la playa sería más privada
El trato del personal fue excelente. La piscina está abierta 24h y la ubicación está bastante bien. No admiten niños en el hotel por lo que es ideal para descansar y relajarse. Recomendado totalmente El todo inlcuido no incluia alcohol más allá de los cockteles. En los restaurantes tardaban bastante en servir las bebidas. La pulsera que te ponen a la entrada del hotel araña bastante por lo que te incomoda cuando estas con la esposa, novia, etc.
Me gustó las instalaciones muy bonitas y elegantes La comida. Les falta mejorar el sabor. . El desayuno buffete no tiene los alimentos tan frescos o recién hechos. Y la cena no es apta para niños pequeños por ser muy "gourmet" .
Las dos damas EN RECEPCIÓN dan un SERVICIO AL CLIENTE con mucha calidad. No el hombre blanco y DELGADO. Los RESTAURANTES Y la ZONA HÚMEDA ESTÁN CERRADAS DEMASIADO PRONTO... PERO gracias por todo...
Todo era muy agradable y moderno. Muy limpio y cuidado. Servicio al cliente bueno y amable. La piscina cerraba temprano.
las instalaciones no! muy buen hotel!
Todo! Esta propiedad era increíble, limpio, el personal es increíble!! Nos encantó
Terraza con Jacuzzi y habitacion + salon grande. No hay habitaciones con 2 camas, la piscina es fria y la comida en el restaurante muy mala. El bufet breakfast es mas de el nivel de un 3* que de un 5*. Lo peor es que alquilan las insuficiente sombrillas a personas que no son del hotel.
Lovely staff, nice rooms, a great place to stay
The place is not fancy or amazing but it's decent and overall good. The food is probably the best part, and the resort is isolated (no other resort or civilization around) so the place doesn't get overpack which makes the overall experience better. (This is not the place you would want to party or go in early twenties) The best best part was the seafood, every restaurant's best items were seafood (not shrimp), and the best restaurant was hiroshi (sushi restaurant). In this hotel every restaurant is included in all inclusive price, and you do not need to make a reservation to eat at a restaurant. The view is not the best around the resort (a bunch of trees with construction site), but the downtown isn't very far (20 minutes away by cab). The outside resort is overall safe but be aware of cabbies and make sure you negotiate the cab fare before you get in the cab. They do try to rip you off if you are a tourist. Ask the hotel what the fare should be on the way back to the hotel as price from and to hotel is significantly different (cab fare back to hotel is about half the price and this one way back to hotel is not a set price so it can be negotiated whereas the cab fare from hotel to destinations have set fare and prices tend to be much higher). There are tiny little ants in all the rooms. I had a group of friends who had different rooms on different floors, and we all had ants. The beach is decent but it's very rocky (little rocks that pokes your feet as you are trying To get in the water). Water is warm and decent (it's not clear or murky). They do have a security personnel at the beach to watch over your personal items so you can go in the water and leave your items behind. Mexican restaurant's most items are terrible tasting but tuna dish and Mexican rice dish were very good and guacamole was fresh but bland. Steak restaurant was okay. Half of us did get mild to moderate stomach upsetness after staying there 2 -3 days. At this hotel, wifi is $10 daily and the connection isn't great, but at the Starbucks, there is a free wifi. The resort does offer time share, and a little section of it is reserved for time share members only.
The location is very convenient since it is a block away from the ferry terminal. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean. Nice view of the harbor with street-facing rooms. The air conditioning worked well. The mattress was rock hard, and there was quite a bit of noise from the street - with scooters, taxis and golf carts whizzing by. The windows shut well to keep out a lot of noise, but it was still very audible, even above the din of the air conditioner.
It is a modern hotel that provides comfortable accomodations at a reasonable price. The price includes a continental breakfast that allows you to save even more.
The stuf were very nice. The room was very clean and new. The hotel is nearby the fairy... and 10 min from the north beach (the best one)
very comfy bed, clean room, great sound-proof sliding glass doors, elevator worked, pleasant staff, good safe deposit box in room # 1 flaw--sketchy key situation (they wanted us to leave our key at the desk when we left for the day, but most times it was just plopped on the desk in the open-air, on street lobby and left there, plus anyone could ask for any room key and get it, zero security on this point. weak breakfast, super overpriced lobby bar (for a pretty lame affair)
Our room had floor to ceiling windows with a magnificent view of the sea. The room was very clean and bright! There was some street noise do to the location , but the view made up for it!
Never had to worry about things like hot water and bathroom facilities not working -
its right on the beautiful north beach. also conveniently located to the little town on the north part of the island - a few minutes walk to dinner, the port, and other conveniences. but what stood out were the little niceties, such as a free 20 minute massage each, recommended tours that were NOT inflated by the normal hotel prices (i.e. reasonable prices) and generally just very polite staff. the rooms are basic and comfortable and more than adequate for a nice stay. however, they could stand a bit more decoration to spruce up the place - it did feel a bit 'blah'. that being said we spent most of our time outside of that room enjoying the sun, so no big deal. note - no problem with cleanliness, just that the room was quite plain.
Efficient friendly staff. Rooms fine. Internet access appreciated. Great Beach very close. Noisy beach disco next door. Hotel unaware of our Booking.com reservation.
location- beach front and yet near town centre No work table. No " no disturb sign" or " please make up room" sign.Also hotel did not have my reservation although i had a booking.com confirmation--- I have no idea what went wrong there. Luckily they could find a room for me and that it was not peak season.
Great service, friendly bilingual staff Some of the rooms have mould problems and smell really bad.
Right in the center of the most amazing beach on the island. Shopping and dining steps away with fantastic shopping and everything you could possibly be looking for... Staff and beach service were both my favorite things
The location was great. The pool was very clean. The facilities were above average. The room smelled very musty. Painting was going on on our floor which was akward at times.
Located on a beautiful beach with gentle waves and white sand. The regular room I booked lacked a balcony which is essential for an enjoyable stay. I had to upgrade, for a fair amount of money, in order to get one. I would not recommend booking a regular room.Do not book a room on a Friday or Sat. due to loud disco beat pulsating till 4am!
Beach. Room. View. The water flowing from pipes in the water near the beach smelled bad.
La ubicación, las vistas, el servicio, el mar es precioso, y desayuno incluido Extraños dándonos la bienvenida en la playa y niños un poco ruidoso a veces
Muy buena ubicación y precio No tienen servicio de Restaurante después de las 3:00 p.m. pero ni siquiera un refresco o agua embotellada, no hay TV en los cuartos y ceo que es muy necesario tenerla, la limpieza de las habitaciones muy mala dejaba basura en los muebles, toallas en el piso y al parecer era una sola Srita haciendo la limpieza porque subiamos al cuarto a las 2 de la tarde o 3 y no habian hecho la limpieza.
El restaurante es lo mejor. Lo demás no vale nada. la atención de la recepción y la desconfianza de sus empleados.
la ubicacion los baños, me parecieron muy descuidado y la poca luz de las habitaciones
Fuimos un grupo grande y a todos se nos dio un precio distinto me hicieron pagar en dolares cuando yo soy mexicana y con un tipo de cambio muy elevado, es triste que traten asi al turismo nacional. En el cuarto de hotel la limpieza no fue buena siempre dejaban el piso mojado, y tienen que hacer algo con los moscos que estan en los cuartos yo tuve que comprar insecticida!!!!
La cercanía a la playa. Pagar el servicio de tumbonas y sombrillas. Que el baño no tenga cortina de ducha y que se inunde. El desayuno. La TV se veía lluviosa continuamente. La fianza de 150 dolares que te obligan a dejar, aunque ya tengas el hotel pagado....
Watching sunrises, the sea, sky. Hanging out with family at the pool, really a stunning and beautiful spot! lack of services, bed with uncomfortable foam pad, old inadequate a/c shower temps varied, with low water pressure, minimalistic breakfast, unfriendly staff, old towels, run down appearance, overall not the quality you'd expect for the price- thought it would be more luxurious
The proximity to the sea and the view from the room. A little difficult to find.
The excellent position just few steps from the sea and the view from the bedroom chairs and tables outside should be renewed as they look a bit old and damaged
Fantastic location, not overcrowded due to the architecture. The pool is a very nice place facing the sea and the service is very nice. We had to leave :-)
There is no such thing as a bad view at this hotel! Each room faces the ocean. The view and the sound of the ocean is amazing. There were no restaurant or bar services. However the hotel is walking distance close to an area with numerous bars and restaurants.
location, updated rooms would of been nice to have at least one tv channel in english
The location was good,close to everything and the hotel was clean with nice rooms When I made the reservation the room was to be $---- with taxes etc. However when we checked in the charge was about $--- a night for our 4 night stay. When I questioned it I was told that it was tax and fees. I was not happy and won't stay again
