I can't wait to see our rotation play next season.
Halladay, Burnett, Towers, Chacin and Ryan in the pen.
Go Jays Go!
just happy he's not on cards! helps mets a lil
All the article says is they will continue talks and he will still go to the Cards if they offer a 5th year
Sorry the story keeps changing.
He will probably go the Jays.
It's official, he's a Blue Jay.
That is a ton of money and years for a guy who's 49-50 and seems to be a head case.
I said you need to strive to better than everyone else. I didn't say you needed to be better than everyone else. But you gotta try. That's what character is. It's in the try.
What was Pavanno's numbers before he got that big deal?
AJ is more proven. He has a good era over his career, lots of K's. Overcame tommy john. And if you play for a bad team, records are overrated for pitchers. ERA is the big stat to look at.
Pavano was overpaid as well IMO.
AJ hasn't played on bad teams, the Fish have been pretty good over the past 3-4 years.
Riccaridi has to over pay to get FA's to come to TO. He got the best SP available, and the best closer available. Did he over pay, probably, but at least players will consider Toronto again.
Halladay and Burnett will make a sick 1-2 punch!Originally Posted by Forward_Lateral
Roy is my 2nd favorite pitcher after Pedro. The guy is sick. AJ came out of Mets farm system.
Marlins finished in 4th place last year. THEY STUNK. They have been around .500 since the WS team and they started disbanding then. And Now completely broke team apart.Originally Posted by EricStratton
If Roy can finally stay healthy. Poor guy was having another CY Young year and gets beaned by a liner. Sucks. If AJ and Roy can both stay healthy, with Chacin, Towers and Lilly, the Jays might end up with one of the better staffs in the AL. They are big IFs, however. I'm just happy that the organization is doing SOMETHING again. It seems like yesterday that they were the team to beat.Originally Posted by STAMPY
The Blue Jays do have the best Staff in AL EAST. That Chacin character was solid last yearOriginally Posted by Forward_Lateral
As Randy and Curt are both done.
On paper perhaps... Let's see how it goes when they play the games.Originally Posted by STAMPY
Marlins have had 2 good years their whole existance.Originally Posted by EricStratton
Just happens since they won those 2 years that people think they've been consistently good.
Originally Posted by LOSman WINSOriginally Posted by Prov401Originally Posted by better days

Marlins were:
83-79 in 2005
83-79 in 2004
91-71 in 2003 w/World Series win
79-83 in 2002
76-86 in 2001

AJ came up in 1999 so they have been at least close to 500 since he's been there. That isn't to bad.Originally Posted by Darth Takeo
I hope you are right. Did the Bosox get Beckett in the Florida deal? If they did, their staff is going to still be pretty good, even without Curt.Originally Posted by STAMPY
I just read that Peter "I would take a bullet for the BoSox" Gammons said Boston almost called the deal off after reading the MRI on Beckett's shoulder...
Still, almost must not have been enough since the deal went through. Interesting bit of info regardless...

Mixed Emotions in Cross Plains Over Tragic Accident Monday
By: Victor Sotelo
Updated: January 30, 2013
His passenger was 36 year old William Bryan Partain.
Pickett lost his life in the early afternoon head-on collision, and Partain, who is known in town as Wild Bill, lived and was taken to the hospital in Abilene. It didn't take long to find someone who knew both of the men in Cross Plains.
Both Pickett and Partain were ranchers in Cross Plains. People describe both men as "real cowboys" and say that when something like this happens in a town of just 900 everybody feels it.
During an interview with a local shop owner Partain sent a text message to the owners wife letting them know that he was okay. The two people in the other pick-up have not been identified because of the fire.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich unveiled a school-funding overhaul on Thursday that he said is aimed at helping students in poor districts compete while introducing changes meant to reward and highlight innovation.
The Republican governor's long-awaited plan would boost districts that are lagging behind in property values and household incomes.
Kasich education advisers said no schools would see reduced funding next year under the current formula, to allow them time to adjust. A special fund with $300 million in additional money would be created to reward districts for innovation and efficiency.
"This is a plan that says that every student in any part of the state, regardless of what kind of district they come from, should be given the resources to be able to compete with a child across the state," Kasich said before a meeting Thursday afternoon to brief school superintendents on the plan.
The plan dubbed "Achievement Everywhere" also means to help districts with the extra costs of special-needs students, to provide more school choice, such as expanding vouchers for parents to move children from low-performing schools to private ones.
There is also funding help planned for districts with high levels of poverty where students don't have access to preschool programs, and other aid to help them reach Ohio's new third grade reading proficiency target.
There are also steps to increase transparency about school efficiency and performance, and to encourage districts to learn from the successes of comparable districts.
Kasich advisers said funding changes would bring all schools up to the tax base level of a district with $250,000 in property value per student, a figure they said was at the 96th percentile of districts statewide, and direct dollars away from administration costs into the classroom.
Kasich told school administrators that while he knew many were worried about cuts, the state's financial stewardship allows more funding which he said his administration wants to be sure benefits students directly.

If you've ever watched Top Chef or one of the bazillion other coaching shows on TV, you know they stress presentation. Why?
Well, how many pictures are on your camera or phone of a grey, cloudy sunset? You probably have a few with blazing colors. Same concept applies to food, especially healthy food, because sometime health food needs a little something to compare with its guilt-ridden counterparts.

About this artist
Chantal Renn
After gaining a degree in illustration at Loughborough University I initially worked for the successful illustrator Emma Thomson, a fantastic experience which gave me a valuable insight into the world of children's book publishing and enabled me to develop my skills technically. During this time I also continued to produce and improve my own work and now, as a part of the Bright Agency, it's extremely gratifying to be working full time doing something I am passionate about. Furthermore, as I also enjoy writing, I have taken the opportunity to both write and illustrate my first children's book, something I am proud to have achieved.
Many, many things influence my work, from 1950s animation to antique furniture to my slight obsession with baking! I love collecting reference to inform my illustrations and enable me to add interesting, unique details. This is helpful when designing characters, giving them personalities and an exciting world to live in. I always endeavor to effectively use colour and design to make each piece of work engaging for the viewer and recognisable as one of my own. Having a job that means I can spend my days being creative and using my imagination is fabulous!

We had a little pumpkin carving party with the Lewis's and the Wilee's. And although it was a sad attempt at carving pumpkins (I think 3 yr-old Gaby's was the best), the pizzas were a hit! (I mean, I didn't get the title 'pizza queen' for nothing). I used Niki and I's (Niki's) summer-time-award-winning pizza dough recipe and whipped up a few of the all-time favorites. The fig, brie and prosciutto is always a crowd pleaser. I just wish I took some pictures – but the pizza was gone before I could blink!
Pizza Dough
makes 1-2 12-inch round crusts
- 2 1/4 tbsp active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups warm water
- 1/2 tsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2.5 cups flour (whole wheat or white)
Mix yeast and water, add sugar, olive oil and salt and stir until blended. Add flour and mix until not sticky. Begin to knead dough for about 2-3 minutes. Let dough rise (make sure to coat with flour as it rises quickly and fully and will stick to the bowl). Once risen (about 30 min), punch down and separate into balls and begin to stretch to dough.
Pizza 1: Sausage, Peppers and Onions with Fresh Mozzarella
- 2-3 small vidalia or sweet onions
- 2-3 colored peppers
- 2-3 sausages (I used Italian hot, but you can use any variation)
- fresh mozzarella
- fresh basil
- 1 cup tomato sauce (go for the homemade)
- shredded 4-cheese italian blend cheese
- hot pepper flakes
Cook sausage in links and chop into small pieces. Saute onions and peppers and add sausage to it. Coat pizza crust with tomato sauce, sprinkle with basil, cover with onions, peppers and sausage. Top with fresh mozzarella, regular or soy, and sprinkle with italian blend cheese. Sprinkle hot pepper to taste.
Pizza 2: Fig Jam, Prosciutto and Brie
- Fig Jam, a couple spoonfuls
- 3-4 slices prosciutto
- 1 triangle of soft brie, cubed or chunked
- 5-10 asparagus (or any green veggie in season), sauted
- 1-2 sweet vidalia onion
- olive oil
Saute onion in olive oil and smother onto pizza crust. Saute asparagus and lay onto pizza like spokes on a wheel. Sprinkle with cubed brie cheese and prosciutto pieces. Top with 1/2 teaspoons of fig jam over top.
Pizza 3: BBQ Chicken with Corn and Smoked Gouda
- 2 chicken breasts
- BBQ sauce
- Corn (i prefer roasted which you can get at Trader Joes frozen section)
- 1 red onion
- 1 bunch cilantro
- smoked gouda cheese
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- olive oil
Cook chicken breasts in a pan until tender, cube and smother in BBQ sauce. Saute red onions in olive oil. Lather pizza crust with tomato sauce and extra BBQ sauce and top with cubed chicken, sauted red onions, roasted corn, cilantro (to taste) and shredded smoke gouda cheese
Pizza 4: Traditional Margherita
- 1-2 cups tomato sauce
- fresh tomatoes, diced
- fresh mozzarella, regular or soy
- fresh basil
- shredded italian 4 cheese blend (optional)
Lather crust with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with diced tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and top with shredded cheese.
Bake all pizzas on the grill or in oven at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes.
*Tips for pizza making: Pizzas are cooked best on a pizza stone. I also like to cook my pizza dough first before topping with any toppings to create some structure, especially with this dough recipe which is very dough and fluffy! If you cook the crust for about 5-10 minutes it will give it a good sturdy base before you lather it with the sauce and toppings.

Israel fears war of attrition in Golan
By Ali Haydar
Thursday, 05.23.2013, 10:31pm
Recent incidents in the Golan Heights continue to cast a shadow on the attitudes of Israeli leaders amid reports that Israel plans to carry out new strikes in Syria. These future attacks would be in fulfillment of Israel's declared policy of preventing strategic weapons from being transferred through Syria to Hizbullah.

By Paul R. Pillar

Reasonable people can disagree on what to do about Syria, a problem with no good solutions, and particularly about what to do regarding aid to Syrian rebels. There ought not to be disagreement, however, on not letting the United States, a would-be benefactor, get pushed around or have its diplomacy subverted by the rebels, who are the supplicants.

Ambrosi Announces Prêt-à-Porter Trousers
Ambrosi's ready to wear line will initially be in stores in Asia in 2012. It promises the Ambrosi styling, including button flies and contrast colored waistbands, at a considerable savings from bespoke, though no prices have been set as of this time.
Speaking of bespoke, father and son now also produce an entirely hand-made trouser called the Antonio, using vintage cloth from the family's stocks, for $1,500 a pair. That is about double the current price for a bespoke trouser with the usual 70% hand-work.
Bespoke Ambrosi trousers are currently available from the atelier in Naples as well as by appointment during Salvatore's visits to the major cities of the world.
The original version of this post stated that Ambrosi's standard handwork was 17% of the total. This was an error. The correct number is 70% of the stitches in a pair of trousers.

Oh, well... Another one (or another ones).
Super-expensive bespoke + RTW offerings.
Sorry, but in the past this only led to disasters in what is core (or used to be core) offering -- that is, pure and simple bespoke work, without any fancies. - January 13, 2011 at 3:32:00 AM PST

"17%" handwork on the normal bespoke? How on Earth does one make that calculation?
It sounds as if Ambrosi will simply be putting its name on factory-made ready-to-wear trousers made by someone else. It doesn't seem like the Ambrosis will be making the RTW line themselves, unless you can correct me. - January 13, 2011 at 7:09:00 AM PST
- Will said...
It usually does no good when I correct you RJ but in this case you are correct. As I understand it they will do the design and the trousers will be made elsewhere.

WILL I was considering having the trouser of a suit made by ambrosi and the jacket and waistcoat by another maker.. More of a British cut I did however question if altogether it would be noticeable that I used separate makers. I know the Late duke of windsor as many other great dressers had different makers for garments that made up 1 suit but I was a bit conscerned
- December 18, 2012 at 11:34:00 AM PST
- Will said...
There is a lot more complexity involved in using two different makers. For one thing, you must provide the cloth as it can vary if the tailors each purchase their own. For another, the items are unlikely to be finished in the same timeframe, which may be an inconveience.
In this case, Ambrosi makes a Neapolitan belted trouser. You state that the jacket will be English. You should be certain that the two styles will be compatible to your eye before proceeding.

Thanks for the info will. I only wear braces in suit trousers so I'll check with him about a higher waisted fishtail back pleated model. I'm slim so I shouldn't require an extreme amount of fullness in the trouser or jacket.

Whosoever Will
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Revelation 22:17
What does this "whosoever will" mean, and how far does it extend? We normally use it as a proof text for the doctrine of the "free will of man". If "whosoever will" may come, then we must choose Christ. So, really it is up to me to accept or reject Christ, because I must make the choice. "The Savior is waiting to enter your heart. Why don't you let him come in?" Thus, my job as a pastor, as an evangelist, is to convince men to choose Christ, because man is free to accept Him or reject Him.
That man has some degree of what we call "free will" is undeniable. We see men to some extent choosing to believe or not. 2 Peter 3 tells us about the scoffers who are "willingly ignorant". But it is impossible to Scripturally prove that man's will is free in the same sense that God's will is free. Nor can we possibly prove that God saves a man because of any decision he makes, though God will save men who make decisions for Christ.
For example, Romans 10:13 says, for whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. God does not save a man because he called upon the name of the Lord. On the other hand, no man who calls upon the name of the Lord for salvation will be rejected. If you seek God, you will find him, if you search for him with all your heart. Not because you searched for him, or searched with all your heart, but because God is gracious and merciful, and because God has purposed to be found of you. And why do you seek God? "Whosoever will" may come, but what causes them to will? A personal choice? Or something deeper, mysterious?
That is the question I intend to answer in this brief study. We will examine what "whosoever will" means, and then why "whosoever" wills it. Revelation 22:17 is true, but what does it really mean? Is the fact that "whosoever" wills a cause for pride or praise? Does your flesh desire God, seek God, please God? Do you work, or does God work?
First, whosoever will may come.
This is true. Whosoever will, let him drink.
Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Are you hungering and thirsting after righteousness? God promises you blessing. You shall be filled. By all means, come. God the Spirit says, "Come". Our churches say, "Come". Drink of that water of life from that well of living water, that well from which, if a man drink, he shall never thirst again.
The stream is in the desert, a dry and thirsty land where no water is. You need that water, more than you need anything else. God calls you to come and drink it. And if you want to drink it, that is good. That is all the more reason to drink it. God calls you to drink from that stream. "Whosoever will".
The word "will" is the Greek word thelo. It means desire, a resolute striving, a decided and convinced seeking. We find that same word, thelo, in Matthew 15:28:
Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
We find thelo in John 7:17:
If any man will (desires to, resolves to) do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
We find thelo in 2 Peter 3:5:
For this they willingly are ignorant of (desire resolutely to be ignorant of), that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
So, "whosoever will" means whosoever desires resolutely. A man who would drink of that stream will "sell out" to do it. And those who sell out may come. They reject everything else, sell all they have, give up every cumbrance, and seek for that living water with all their heart. When a man once drinks it, he will need no more, and he will want nothing else. The more he drinks of it, the more he wants it, and the less he wants of anything else.
"Whosoever will", let him take the water of life freely. That is the first thing. Desire it. More than anything else, thirst for that.
But secondly, WHY does "whosoever" will?
Can we really take credit for our thirst? Is it really praiseworthy that you were thirsty? Some will argue, "I could have gone after anything else to quench my thirst, but I thirsted for the Right Thing".
But that is just it, you did go after everything else to quench your thirst. Nothing else worked. You tried other things, but you thirsted again. How did you come across the Right Thing?
That is the question. Why did you will it? What made you desire the water of life? What caused you to resolve to have it?
It was not your own flesh. Your flesh may know what should be done and not done, but it has no power to do right. We find the Greek word thelo again (the word for will – desire, resolute seeking) in the following verses:
Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would (thelo), that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
16 If then I do that which I would (thelo) not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will (thelo) is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
19 For the good that I would (thelo) I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Your flesh does not know the things of God, does not understand, and does not desire to know. (Thus, Ro 3:10-18; also Ps 14:1-3) And that is why Romans 8:8 says, So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:5-8 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would (thelo).
So, the fact that you "willed" (desired, determined, resolutely thirsted) to drink the water of life is no cause for praise or pride. Why did you "will"? Was it not the working of God in your heart?
Philippians 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth (thelo), and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
If God has saved you, it is because God determined to save you. If you desired salvation (are there any saved who do not desire it?), God put that thirst in you.
Proverbs 16:1 The preparations of the heart in man, and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD. And verse 9: A man's heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.
Thirst is a natural thing. God put it in there. And thirst is a good thing too, because we must drink to survive. But God gives us the thirst because he wants us to drink. He is calling us to drink. Do you want to drink? God gave you that desire, and by his grace, God gives you the water. In other words, if you will, if you desire salvation, God put that desire there, because God has purposed to save you.
John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Romans 9:16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
Understand that I am not denying any participation on the part of man. Contrary! I am asserting that there is in fact participation on the part of man. In salvation, man has a part and God has a part. The majority of the work is God's part. He has done the work already. Man has a very tiny part to play… a cooperative role, but that is all. God does the calling, man does the responding. God does the wooing, man is wooed. We love him because he first loved us.
And even as we look at man's part, we see God's hand there too. God is working in us to will and to do of his good pleasure. And thus we see that God does not call us because of any merit he sees in us. Not because he sees in us a willing heart. But because God gave us a willing heart. Not because we desire salvation, but because he purposed that we would desire salvation.
2 Timothy 1:9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
John 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will (thelo).
Romans 9:18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will (thelo) have mercy, and whom he will (thelo) he hardeneth.
On the other hand, before you accuse God of an injustice, remember:
1Timothy 2:4 Who will (thelo) have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
So, whosoever will, may come! But we shouldn't be puffed up because we desire salvation. After all, who put that desire, who created that longing in your heart? Who steered you towards the object of your longing? Who directed you to that well of the water of life? Was it not God himself? Then give him the glory!

Lola carves out a small-town niche
To Lorraine "Lola" Hooper, marketing is as much of an art as constructing a flawless cupcake tree. She has taken a very specific approach to that art since opening the retail location of Lola Cookies & Treats in Leesburg, Va., five years ago. The scratch bakery offers cookies, bars, small cakes, cupcakes, scones and muffins.
Hooper does all of Lola's marketing, which has been strategically limited since the beginning. "The type of food we're selling and the image we are all about is about being genuine–about real food and quality ingredients and the personal touch," she says. When she opened Lola, she intentionally kept advertising to a minimum. "It was a bit of a risk but very much a conscious decision," she says. "I didn't want to come into a small town and bombard everyone with print advertising. I wanted to be naturally embraced by the community. I wanted to get people to come and try the product and then tell their friends."
Shortly before opening day, Hooper and her son walked in the local Halloween parade–a favorite event among locals–dressed as up a milk carton and cookie, respectively. They handed out cookies and coupons for free product. She also bought a small ad in the local paper announcing Lola would offer free cookies on opening day. "There was a line out the door the whole day," she says.
Her approach since then has been similarly focused on becoming a fixture in Leesburg, which has about 35,000 residents. The bakery has become something of a media darling in Loudon County and beyond, having appeared on multiple local news segments, on syndicated talk show "Rachael Ray," and in regional newspapers and magazines. The bakery was even tapped to contribute a series of baking demonstration videos on how-to website MonkeySee. Hooper attributes much of the publicity to word of mouth.
Social media has also factored into Hooper's marketing efforts because it is largely consumer-driven, and thus inexpensive. "I love social media. I think it's a great outgrowth of natural word of mouth and normal conversation and nearly free," she says. Furthermore, it is well suited to the demographics of the people who frequent Lola–primarily women aged 18 to 44. Hooper posts photos and updates every few days. This spring, she even hosted a photo contest for customers, awarding the winner with a $25 store gift card. She also sends out a weekly newsletter via email. "There is a fine art to the frequency of your emails and Facebook posts," she notes, adding that it is easy to overwhelm people with updates, which may cause them to lose interest.
Lola also got on the group discounting bandwagon late last year, offering a Groupon deal of half price for a dozen cupcakes, which 358 customers purchased. Hooper says the goal was primarily to increase customer awareness. "Mostly I was trying to get more people aware of us because our location in this town is not ideal," she says. "That's the biggest thing I'm fighting against all the time. In a community as small as ours, if we want to survive, we have to capture a large percentage of people."
Palermo ventures online
At Palermo Bakery in Chicago, a Sicilian couple has been recreating a taste of Sicily through traditional pastries, cookies, cakes, pizzas and–of course–its best-selling cannoli, since opening in August 2001.
In addition to a growing retail business, the bakery has established a strong wholesale presence in Chicagoland. Palermo sells frozen filled cannolis along with cookies, Danish, coffeecakes and other products to grocery delivery service Peapod and local supermarkets Pete's Fresh Market, Produce World, Mariano's Italian market and Shop & Save. A second location opened in Franklin Park, Ill., in 2006.
Paula Greco, co-owner of the bakery with her husband and third-generation baker Joe, approaches marketing much like she does every other facet of the business: with almost stubborn steadfastness. "When I decide to do something, I stick with it. I make goals and give myself a few months to do them," she says. Her marketing strategy has been primarily to use online tools to spread the word, as this is where the future of the baking industry–and most others–lies, she says.
She launched Palermo's website three years ago, in response to customer demand. "I never wanted to do it and thought it would be really hard," Greco says. "But a lot of people were asking if we had a website, even for basic information."
She worked with a graphic designer to set up the site, which allows users to browse for products by category. Most products are accompanied by high-resolution product photos. "Since we have a lot of Sicilian pastries, people might not know what certain things are, so rather than describe how they're prepared and what they taste like, I can direct them to the site. It is easier to just show them," she says. The site also houses an online store, which was launched last year. It hasn't been quite as successful as Greco hoped; most traffic occurs during the holiday season.
Greco updates the bakery's Facebook wall daily when she has time, which sometimes means she's posting photos and responding to fan comments at 4 a.m. over her morning coffee. She says the main purpose of Palermo's Facebook presence is to educate existing and potential customers about the range of products–both Sicilian and otherwise–that the bakery stocks aside from the famous cannoli. "We do a lot of traditional stuff, but we can also do lobster tails, alligator cakes, cupcakes–lots of other things that less traditional bakeries are known for," she says.
Within the past year, Palermo has also staged three group-discounting promotions. The most recent and most successful was a Groupon offer of $20 worth of product for $10 in March. One thousand consumers purchased the Groupon, including a lot of new customers. "You have to look at it as advertising because you really aren't making any money off of the actual offer," she says. "The goal was to get new people in and try to reach other people who aren't aware that we're here. So far it's working."
While Greco sets regular marketing goals, she says that Palermo's best marketing tool is most often word of mouth. "We get a lot of phone calls from people who tried our cakes or cannolis at a party," she says. "All we can do is offer people a good product and hope it will keep them coming back and telling their friends about us. From a marketing standpoint, I have done pretty much all I can other than sing and dance."

Here is the image...
You're taking me to the vet for WHAT?
Cute dog BTW.
Then the vet did what????
@jsimsace: Looks like we were both on the same frequency.
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for payment, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my bone go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you"
-Liam Neesons dog...
What do you mean you're taking me to be tutored?
Did somebody say "BACON"????
"You Da' Dog"
You sure its me ?
Yes Sir, I'm looking goooood !

maybe "what did you do with my REAL owner?"
Here's looking at you kid!
I swear I don't know nothing bout those kitty cat bones! I was just over there digging around and the next thing I know, wam! I'm being dragged away to the doghouse! You can't prove anything! I want my lawyer!!!
Oh Please,
Are you serious ?
Do "I" look guilty ?
We're getting a cat? What do you mean?
cute dog.. the picture kinda reminds me of a mugshot.
"What?!? I don't think I heard you right..."
I started to use WTF, but thought it might not be appropriate. Your dog is beautiful.
"That's the second biggest bone I've ever seen."
"Give the food to the dog. Give the food to the dog. You're feeling very relaxed. Give the food to the dog."
-suggested by a non-woot friend

Retweet May 2012
From time to time I just blast tweets about software development, project planning, team dynamics, or whatever else comes to mind. Here is a synopsis of recent tweets and rants. If you want to follow the conversation follow me at techknow and/or juixe.
Software Development
- The future is written in code, probably in JavaScript.
- Remember when the best way to debug JavaScript was to use alerts and document.write?
- Software is the new alchemy.
- When fixing a bug, the coding of the solution is the easiest part, but not necessarily the most import.
- TLDs I would like to see: .app, .js, .rb, .py, .twt, .lol, .anon, .beer, .bit, .woot
- If you would see this code I've working with you would think it had dyslexia.
- Just Do It: Refactor it. Abstract it. Centralize it. Generalize it.
- Software development is a team sport for people that were most likely not good at sports.
- Working Code > Perfect Code
- Never assume, always test.
- Trust no cloud.
- Don't be eval().
Thought Leadership
- Seek out silver bullets instead of reaching out to golden hammers.
- Quality is something you engineer for.
- The first thing you create should be quality itself.
- When you have no QA, everyone does QA.
- When you feel like there are no options, there are still options.
- Inspiration comes in all shapes and sizes.
- Simple ideas can go a long way.
- There is often no quick solutions to deep problems.
- If you are going to dream, might as well dream big.
- I eat top priorities for breakfast.
- When you get new top priorities that displace the top priorities you received hours prior and didn't get to because of previous priorities.
- Sometimes you have to up your game, other times you have to up your competition. If you don't lose much you might be in the minor leagues.
Product Placement
- I remember that about two years ago I tweeted that RIM should have been renamed RIP. I got a lot of flack then, I don't thin I will now.
- What does it mean when 7 out or the top 10 free apps from the Play marketplace are from Google?
- Posted in my iPhone: iPhone is a blood gadget. #rareearth #minerals
- I would like Apple to make a dual touch screen phone… Where on screen slides out to give you double the screen real estate.
- The way I described the recent partial eclipse.. Like the world had a giant Instagram filter on.
- Transformers, GI Joe, Snurfs, and now Battleship… What other 80′s toy/cartoon will be renamed as a movie? Hungry Hungry Hippos?
- VMware is hilarious, they sent me email for a Mother's Day sale on VMware Fusion. Yes, that's exactly what my mom wants for Mother's Day!
- The Angry Birds franchise has been so successful that I've thought about creating a mobile game, how about Mildly Irritated Donkeys?
- Everyone should be Photoshop literate.
- I can't wait until American Idol relaunches with a more appropriate name, Auto-tune Idol.
- I don't do anything against the ToS but I'm so paranoid about Google disabling my account, I have a separate accounts for each service I use
- NASA has found a space lake that has "140 trillion times all the water in the world's oceans." Imagine, deep space/ocean fishing.
- Water is a key ingredient of life, imagine the space tuna that can be found in this space lake, trillions of times larger than our oceans.
- You are not a battery of negative energy, don't store, hold, or consume bad energy.
- If I am going to have an imaginary friend I am going to sleep with it.. Imaginary friend with benefits.
- Truth is simple, peoples reasoning for the truth is what is complicated.
- When I'm constipated, instead of taking a laxative I eat McDonald's food.
- We have the technology to make everything dead simple.
- Warning in allergy medication: Do not use if you have an allergic reaction to this product or any of its ingredients.
- As a futurist I am disappointed with what the future has become.
- You got to find yourself by doing something rather waiting for something.
- By definition, anything that is viral is a fad.
- Too much of nothing is never enough.
- Zuckerborg may go down in history as having scammed everyone he met… She scammed his classmates, co-founder, users, and now investors…
- In Zuck we don't trust.
- Zuck really fooled everyone, the Winklevii, Saverin, users, competitors, wall street bankers, institutional investors, …
- Classic FB/Zuck… Days after the IPO there are already lawsuits regarding impropriety, irregular, and illegal activities.
- Facebook wants to make organ donation social. I Like your new liver.
- When Zuckerborg dies, he wants to be buried with a hoodie.
- Will Zuck have a second act? Facebook wont last 5 years on likes alone.
- I've never paid for sex or likes. #facebook #IPO
- I'm unfriending Facebook.

Menard and the No. 27 Tarkett/Menards Team Take a Hit in Phoenix, Finish 31st
"The Tarkett/Menards Chevrolet was fast in practice on Friday. Unfortunately, the warmer temps for qualifying hurt the balance and we ended up in the 20th position to start today's race."
Start - 20
Finish - 31
Laps Led - 0
Points - 14
A promising weekend at Phoenix International Raceway went awry when Paul Menard and the Tarkett/Menards team spun in a multi-car incident. Damage from contact with the inside retaining wall required lengthy repairs on pit road, forcing the Tarkett/Menards Chevrolet to go multiple laps down to the leader. The No. 27 team started Sunday's NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race from the 20th position after a loose-handling condition hindered Menard's qualifying lap on Saturday afternoon. When the green flag dropped for the Fresh Fit 500, the Eau Claire, Wis., native moved into the top 15 by lap 35, reporting that the Chevrolet turned well but was loose on entry. Throughout the next 97 laps the Slugger Labbe-led team made minor wedge and air pressure adjustments during two caution periods in an effort to improve the car's balance. Running 16th on lap 132, a car on the outside snapped loose and made contact with the Tarkett/Menards machine. The No. 27 Chevrolet was tagged from behind, sending the Impala hard into the wall. The 2011 Brickyard 400 champion managed to drive the car to pit road and the crew quickly went to work to cut away the jagged sheet metal. Returning to the track in the 34th position, Menard and the No. 27 team persevered until the checkered flag was displayed. Making drastic adjustments to tighten the car's handling and working to maintain track position, the Tarkett/Menards team gained three additional spots to finish 31st.
"We had a really good car here this weekend. The Tarkett/Menards Chevrolet was fast in practice on Friday. Unfortunately, the warmer temperatures for qualifying hurt the balance and we ended up in the 20th position to start today's race. We tried to run a patient race but got caught up in a mess when the No. 22 car got loose. Otherwise, I think we would have had a top-10 finish."

New Works by British Artist Darren Almond at White Cube

White Cube
Mason's Yard presents an exhibition of new works entitled 'The Principle of Moments' by British artist Darren Almond. Known for works that meditate on notions of time, landscape and travel, as well as political and historical memory, Almond brings these themes together in two bodies of work: a series of time-lapse photographs taken in the Faroe Islands, and a film installation shot in northern Siberia.
'Anthropocene: The Prelude', is a new three screen film installation which continues Almond's ongoing interest in the city of Norilsk, about which he first began making works in 2002. Originally a gulag, Norilsk is now predominantly an industrial city that mines large amounts of valuable ores in particular nickel. On entering the basement gallery, the viewer is confronted with a pair of vertical, floor-to-ceiling screens that depict abstracted sections of ice cracking and splitting as if from an intense, unknown force. The footage is inverted and reversed , making the viewer feel as if they are trapped underneath the ice, while subtle shifts in tone and colour make its surface seem at times dry, or, at others, more like a river of molten lava. Although it appears fantastical, the landscape was in fact shot from the top of a nuclear powered ice-breaking ship used to carve a path through the frozen Yenisei River so that the nickel can be transported to the Arctic Sea and beyond. The third screen, which almost covers the back wall of the gallery, presents a virtually static shot of the most northerly train track in the world - the Talnah-Norilsk-Dudinka railway, photographed in the harshest of winter conditions. The tracks recede into the distance but the snow and wind soften its linearity, blurring the image so that it looks like a piece of found footage, or an archival film. The film is perhaps the most ethereal of Almond's works to date, an effect enhanced by the haunting soundscape created specifically for the film by composer Max Richter.
In stark contrast, Almond's new series of time-lapse photographs, installed in the ground floor gallery, depict the wild, green landscape of the Faroe Islands, also close to the Arctic Circle. Almond began photographically documenting the passing of time in 1996 with his work 'Tuesday (1440 minutes)', which used the artist's empty studio as the setting to record the passing of a single day. Here, the location encompasses many different kinds of landscape: a cliff edge, a mountain, a sea, a waterfall and a town, while its extreme geographical location means that it experiences very diverse weather. Almond shot a photograph every minute for every hour of every day during the course of a week, around the longest day of the year. During this period the light barely disappears, but the extreme weather creates striking results: a mountain appears and then disappears, clouds create rain that then feeds the waterfall and the sun sinks behind the mountain so the sea is obscured by shadow. Arranged in sets of 24 framed panels, one for each day, the photographs present a constantly shifting canvas and a melancholy register of the passing of time.
Darren Almond was born in 1971 in Wigan, UK. He lives and works in London. He has participated in numerous important group exhibitions including 'Sensation' (1997-1999), Berlin Biennale (2001), Venice Biennale (2003), Busan Biennale (2004), The Turner Prize, Tate Britain (2005), Moscow Biennale (2007), and the Tate Triennial, Tate Britain (2009). Solo exhibitions include The Renaissance Society, Chicago (1999), De Appel, Amsetrdam (2001), Kunsthalle Zürich (2001), Tate Britain, London (2001), K21, Düsseldorf (2005), Museum Folkwang, Essen (2006), SITE Santa Fe (2007), and Parasol Unit, London (2008).

The wireless industry was built on the notion that humankind can aspire to defy the authority of distance. It's only fitting, then, that a wireless company needs to capitalize on resources far beyond its own walls to truly thrive.
At Qualcomm, we reach out to third parties all around the world to design, manufacture and sell products based on our industry-leading wireless technology. And with each innovation discovered, with each inventive solution developed, the entire wireless industry grows stronger as our licensees' efforts encourage more users to join in the wireless revolution.
No matter how an organization contributes to the wireless world—as a network operator, device manufacturer, content provider or corporate consumer—it can count on Qualcomm to provide the foundation upon which great ideas can be built.
