What is a Short Sale? And, Why Would a Bank Say Yes?
We are often asked, "What is a short sale and why would a bank allow it?" A short sale is simply when the bank allows you to sell the property for less than what you owe. Why do banks allow this? It is far more advantageous for banks to accept a short sale than to foreclose. As long as the short sale nets the investor more than the foreclosure, a short sale is better for the bank.

Leftovers: Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies
Having a quick something my son can grab before school is a must, so years back I began making breakfast cookies/bars/muffins with veggies, beans or protein powder in them. I just wanted my kids to have sustenance and being able to grab and go was the key to getting some good food into them.
When I haveleftover oatmeal, I automatically save it. I usually use it in smoothies, but decided to make cookies and I'm glad I did.
Now, when I say cookies, I don't mean dessert, I mean breakfast cookies. ( but they can double as dessert by adding some chocolate peanut butter frosting which let me tell you only gets BETTER after it's frozen )
This is a very rough estimate of what I did. I did not add any fat or sugar to mine, but feel free to if you want a sweeter, more decadent morsel of goodness. I'm including optional microwave directions. I figured I'd give it a try and see if it works and it does, although the baked cookies are definitely better.
Leftover Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies
½ batch ( around 1.5 cups ) Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal
1 c dry oats
2 carrots, pulsed really well in the food processor
½ c raisins or dried fruit
1/8 t Kal Stevia or ¼ c sugar
¼ t baking powder
Around ¼ c liquid ( juice or non dairy milk )
Mix well. Taste batter and add more sugar if desired. You can add more spices if desired as well.
Bake for 11 minutes at 375
OR microwave for 10 minutes on parchment paper that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
Let the cookies cool completely before eating.
Tomorrow is Raw Wednesday. I'm not sure what I'll be eating, but I am going to limit the fat this time.
I will be announcing a CSN store giveaway tomorrow, so stay tuned for that!
Lastly, I did not stick to my budget last week. It went over by 7 bucks, but I was feeding 3 people. This week I'm back on track.
14 comments:
going over your budget by just $7 when feeding 3 people isn't bad at all. i think it's amazing that you're able to stick to your budget so often. i REALLY need to do that. and i mean REALLY! i always make exceptions and i'm sure i can find creative ways to use up what we have on hand more often than not. i'm gonna brainstorm and create a budget for myself - i think it will save me so much money and force me to get smarter with foods and food waste. :) huzzah for cake cake breakfast cookie success! they look yummers!ReplyDelete
What a great way to use leftover oatmeal. My mom used to use leftover oatmeal and use it in pancakes.ReplyDelete
I also like the idea of breakfasts goods with beans and such. I don't like eating a very sweet breakfast so something like that would be good.ReplyDelete
I just stumbled across your blog, and I'm impressed! Both with your budgeting skills, and with your creativity in the kitchen. Keep up the great work!ReplyDelete
Hi Melody,ReplyDelete
So glad you left that comment on my blog because I had lost your Google feed! Must re-subscribe. :)
Re: liquid vs powdered stevia, I think the volume is supposed to be the same. Five drops equals about 1/4 tsp equals 1/4 tsp powder. I like NuNaturals--haven't found it bitter at all. :)
Seriously, that looks so good I could eat it for breakfast every day!ReplyDelete
I love to cut out a good amount of sugar when I bake and add just a smidge of Stevia in its place. It always works out extremely well!
Yay! I just signed up so I can leave you comments now!ReplyDelete
I love your posts and really enjoy your writing style. It strikes me as different from many bloggers, in that it's not at all 'wanna-be-cool'...you seem very down to earth and kind. Kind of hard to explain.
Oh yes, and your 'portfolio' of pictures and recipes is incredible!!! You should be on Oprah (ok, I don't watch TV, nevermind Oprah, but it's supposed to be a compliment hinting at your stardom potential). :)
Thanks Amber!ReplyDelete
Vegannifer, it really does work well.. stevia is great as long as you use it judiciously..
Thanks Ricki! I use Kal, but if I'm ever out I am glad to know there's another tried and true brand out there.
Andrea.. haha.. you sure could.. and the frosting has beans in it.. so it's healthy!
Awww. Christine, thank you
I've only been vegetarian for about a year, and high raw for a lot of that, so i'm LOVING the way you teach what to do with leftovers!!! I could do work miracles with leftover meat, but this is such an altogether different ...animal (teehee). Thanks so much!!! and PLEASE keep teaching!ReplyDelete

Labeled for use in both felines and canines, Baytril is widely available as it has been approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration).

Respiratory infections such as kennel cough or rhinitis are in hauled strands of bacteria. A pet with a respiratory infection may cough, mucus membranes may appear pale in color, discharge from the eyes and nose, and an over-all depression in energy.

A urinary infection is very painful for a pet and may show abdominal sensitivity, the urine may also appear dark in color.

The Garden Path
Published on Wed, Oct 28, 2009 by

My most vivid childhood memories of my mother's garden are of lupines, irises, the rockery behind the gate, the blossoms on the apple tree, the lilac trees, one white and one purple, and the rhubarb at the end of the garden near my sand pit.
From my swing I could see the whole garden.
Now, while enjoying my own Virginia creeper vine as it turns red in the fall, I recall my mother sharing with me the sadness she experienced when she arrived home one day to find that my grandfather had ripped the creeper off the back of the house.
Wherever I have lived, it has always been important to me that the indoors and the outdoors flow together.
Here, I have had larger windows installed to enable me to enjoy my garden from the rooms where I spend the most time. Even if I cannot be outdoors, I am visually connected to nature.
My beach cottage came with an English-style garden which I found most appealing. On that June day nine years ago, I had no idea that my total ignorance of plants and gardening in the Pacific Northwest would soon change dramatically.
Childhood memories run deep. Soon I was totally immersed in studying perennial gardening, and the more I learned the more my passion grew. I became a compulsive plant collector.
Building a waterfall, pond and stream, adding more spring flowers and shrubs as well as some later blooming perennials and shrubs were my first priorities. This was quickly followed by the removal of the lawn so that more interesting design features such as patios, paths, arbors and beds could be installed.
It is fortunate that many years ago the original owner of my property planted a cedar hedge and trees around and near the property perimeter that are now mature. This is a rather small, but private, space referred to by some as a secret garden. From my perspective a garden that is so welcoming it invites visitors to enter, explore, linger, and relax has achieved its purpose.
Trees and shrubs provide year-round interest and benefits. The pastel hues of new spring leaves along with spring blooms confirm the arrival of a new season.
The heavier leaf canopies of summer provide shade and protection for plants, wildlife and people. In fall, berries, acorns and fruit provide sustenance for wildlife; the varied hues of autumn leaves impart great pleasure; and the fallen leaves add nutrients to the soil and the compost pile.
In winter the structural shapes of trees and shrubs provide form and create the bones around which we build our gardens.
Perennial seed heads left in place throughout the winter provide food for birds and interesting forms for nature to decorate with frost and snow.
Berries provide welcome color on many shrubs. Nothing brightens my day more than a flock of birds arriving to feast on the bounty of my garden or to bathe in the stream.
Flowering plants, vines and ornamental grasses provide changing color and texture throughout the seasons.
Native trees, plants and shrubs are great additions to the garden as they are already adapted to our climate, and thrive with less care and water than non-natives. Be sure they are purchased from a reputable source and not removed from the wild.
The manner in which patios, paths, seating, bird feeders, bird baths, other water features, and garden art are positioned plays an important role in how our gardens look in all seasons.
A successful garden is never complete or static – it is always evolving as the seasons and the years progress. I encourage you to continue exploring new ideas and trying new plants, while still incorporating old favorites.
Here are a few of my favorite seasonal plant suggestions to start you on your year-round gardening journey. Plants that have cultivars that bloom during different months are indicated with an asterisk.

The public changing of the guard comes every four years in Raleigh, and McCrory along with nine other officials
were sworn in during the ceremony at Capitol Square.
The new Governor said, "It's time for us to make sure that North Carolina fulfills and exceeds its potential once more and it starts today."
McCrory spoke about North Carolina fulfilling its obligation to its citizens and providing customer service to the people of North Carolina.
"North Carolina's greatest strength and asset is its people," said McCrory.
He continued to say it is an important part of the state's growth to support state manufacturing, and support that effort with transportation development.
The Governor said these goals can be achieved by implementing his 25 year Infrastructure and Transportation Plan.
McCrory said that Government needs to pay its bills and move away from what he called borrowed time and money.
In his speech he spoke about how technology can further the education of all regardless of economic or social background.
Those who knew McCrory when was mayor expect him to be a bridge builder.
Eric Locher made the trip from Charlotte, saying "I think you'll see Pat do what Pat does best and that's bring people together. While he had his own stances, he tries to find the best for the widest group he can."
AME Zion Bishop George Battle said McCory understands a wide range of backgrounds.
Battle said, "I think he brings an understanding of the two worlds that we live in North Carolina. The rural world and the urban world."
The speech lasted about 25 minutes and ended with the Governor encouraging everyone to leave with a spirit of unity and understanding.
"Let's leave here together as a team and make North Carolina a better place to live, work and raise a family," McCrory said.
The event was held on the south lawn of the capitol facing downtown Raleigh.

Rushed off his line well to thwart Cisse twice early on but was eventually beaten by Newcastle's No.9 after a decent move down the right. Renewed his battle with the striker later on by tipping a deflected shot onto the post.
Struggled with the pace of Cisse when Newcastle attacked. Tamely appealed for offside in the 46th minute after being caught out as Marveaux slipped a neat pass through to Cisse, from which the striker hit the post.
L. Melgarejo
Caught out defensively by the movement of Cisse and Sissoko, particularly for Newcastle's opening goal. Much more comfortable going forward.
E. Garay
Happy to start attacks from defence for Benfica, as he showed an impressive range of passing. Like Luisao, he failed to deal with Cisse's pace on a couple of occasions as the striker raced through on goal.
N. Gaitán
Forced Krul into making two great saves in the first half. Linked well with Cardozo and Rodrigo in an attacking three for the home side.
André Gomes
The youngster was a surprise inclusion but he repaid the faith shown in him by his manager by putting in an accomplished performance. Flashed a shot wide from 20 yards in the ninth minute after brushing off a challenge from Santon.
André Almeida
Showed great energy to push forward from right-back again and again. His dynamism helped his team greatly as it limited the attacking threat of Santon.
N. Matić
The former Chelsea midfielder was very solid in the centre of the park for the hosts. He broke up a number of promising Newcastle moves and played some probing passes forward.
Sat in the space between the Newcastle midfield and defence in the first half, which allowed him room to dictate some moves for his side. Prodded home Benfica's equaliser and also forced Krul into making two brilliant saves. Made way for Lima in the second half.
O. John
Demonstrated his blistering pace on a couple of occasions in, though his end product was lacking at times. Had one shot saved well by the legs of Krul after cutting in from the right.
O. Cardozo
Produced a couple of moments of magic before the break, one of which led to Benfica's equaliser. His devilish strike from 25 yards was parried into the path of Rodrigo who tucked home the rebound. Subbed off late on.
Newcastle United
T. Krul
Produced a handful of fine saves in the first half to keep out Gaitan, Cardozo and John. Could do little about Benfica's three goals, particularly Lima's opportunist effort and Cardozo's penalty.
D. Simpson
Provided a stunning pass to Sissoko, who then crossed for Cisse to score the opening goal in the 13th minute. Conceded a very dangerous free kick at the end of the first half for a foul on Rodrigo.
D. Santon
The Italian full-back was pegged back for large parts of the first half as Benfica's right-hand side impressed. Gifted Benfica their second goal after playing a wayward back pass straight to Lima and the striker swept a shot past Krul.
M. Yanga-Mbiwa
Was calm at centre-back for the Magpies but should have done better for Benfica's goal as he was beaten to the ball by Rodrigo.
J. Perch
Was booked for a silly sliding tackle on Gaitan in the 18th minute and looked out of his depth against the likes of Rodrigo and Matic. Picked up an injury in the second half and was replaced by Anita.
S. Taylor
Dominant in the air but his mobility was shown up on a couple of occasions by the trickery of Cardozo and Rodrigo. Handled the ball inside his own area which resulted in a penalty and in turn Benfica's third goal.
J. Gutiérrez
Industrious as ever for the Magpies in midfield. The Argentine created a decent chance for Cisse in the first half that was tipped onto the post by Artur.
Y. Cabaye
The Frenchman was tidy in possession without producing the kind of creativity expected of him. Did not look comfortable being dragged back to defend as Benfica grew in confidence.
S. Marveaux
Played a couple of scything passes through the Benfica defence, including a fabulous one just after the break that put Cisse clean through. The midfielder used the ball intelligently and troubled the home side throughout.
M. Sissoko
Grabbed the assist for Cisse's goal after latching on to Simpson's fine pass and bending a brilliant cross to the striker. Pulled Melgarejo and Garay out of position to create space for Cisse on a number of occasions. Quiet after the break.
P. Cissé
Showed a heavy touch once or twice early on but made amends for that by getting the vital touch to Sissoko's cross in the 13th minute to make it 1-0. Unlucky to hit the post either side of half-time.
M. Pereira
Introduced with 13 minutes to go as Jesus looked to shore up his defence after his side had gone 3-1 up.
E. Pérez
Replaced Gomes on the hour mark and showed some neat touches in midfield for the hosts.
Brought on in the second half as Benfica searched for a winner and had an instant impact as he took Santon's back pass in his stride and swept a shot past Krul to make it 2-1.
V. Anita
Replaced the injured Perch on the hour mark but failed to leave his mark on the game as Benfica ran out victors.
D. Gosling
Brought on for Simpson with 10 minutes to go. Played a couple of neat passes despite Benfica being on top.
Shola Ameobi
Introduced late on and had little impact with Newcastle already two goals down.

Prosecutors in northern Mexico now say five men have been killed in a gun battle with police and military personnel in the Gulf of California resort of Puerto Penasco, also known as Rocky Point.
The attorney general of the border state of Sonora says the shootout occurred in and around Sandy Beach near a luxury hotel in Puerto Penasco early Wednesday.
The Mexican consulate held a news conference in Phoenix at noon on Thursday and said those who died were firing at federal police agents. The Mexican consulate said the police agents were defending their life. Their identities have not been released at this time.
The Mexican consulate also said they want to reassure travelers that the resort is a safe place for tourists. Shootouts are very rare at Mexican beach resorts.
Attorney General Carlos Navarro Sugich said two of the men died when they crashed their vehicle trying to flee authorities during the confrontation.
Puerto Penasco is popular with visitors from Arizona, just across the border.
The U.S. Consulate in Nogales, Sonora, advised U.S. citizens in Puerto Penasco to shelter in place. They advised people there to review their personal security plans, remain aware of their surroundings and monitor local news stations for updates.
The consulate said to regularly monitor the State Department's website to know current travel warnings.

Kentucky-based Breeders' Cup winners to parade at Churchill Downs Sunday
"Sunday will be a unique opportunity for our loyal fans to salute their hometown heroes," said Kevin Flanery, president of Churchill Downs Racetrack. "We couldn't be more proud of our Kentucky champions, and their achievements authenticate the quality of racing at Churchill Downs and the Commonwealth's signature horse racing and breeding industry. We owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to their owners and trainers for their cooperation in making this one-of-a-kind event come together. Our 'Parade of Breeders' Cup Champions' is sure to be a marvelous event and will make lasting memories for their legion of fans."
Industry talk indicates that some of Sunday's participants could be crowned Eclipse Champion in the year-end honors. Wise Dan was made the top choice in the final NTRA National Thoroughbred Poll of 2012 and could likely be named Horse of the Year when the Eclipse Awards are handed out in January. Groupie Doll is being discussed for Champion Female Sprinter, and the trainer of Little Mike, Dale Romans, has had his name tossed around as possible Trainer of the Year. Whether this talk pans out or not, Sunday offers a good chance for area fans to see some of the country's top Thoroughbreds in person.
Churchill Downs will honor veterans on Sunday, Veterans Day, with free track admission for all active and retired U.S. military with military I.D. Churchill Downs will hold a ten-race card with the first post scheduled for 12:40 p.m. Also, every Sunday at Churchill Downs is Kroger Family Fun Day with special activities for kids from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. on the Paddock balcony. A fall festival is planned for this Sunday with face painting, pumpkin painting, pumpkin bowling, and cornhole games.

Companies have a responsibility to find new ways of helping reduce youth unemployment
At a number of business and industry gatherings in Scotland in recent months, employers have been urged to increase their efforts to employ young people. The reason, looming for more than a year, was plain to everyone last week when the number in that group who are unemployed neared the one million mark.
The rise had been widely predicted. Unemployment had risen by 80,000 to reach 2.51m in the three months to July, 77,000 of which were 18-to-24-year-olds, lifting the youth joblessness total to 973,000. But over the summer their ranks were swollen by the number of graduates and school-leavers failing to find work – putting their number at its highest since 1994, in the wake of the recession of the early 1990s.
In response, the business charity Business in the Community (BITC) has called for a change in how British companies attract and employ young people by offering more non-graduate Cooperation and Development. That compares with 18.4 per cent in the US and an OECD average of 16.7 per cent. In Germany, the rate was 9.7 per cent. It stood at 32.9 per cent in Greece and 41.6 per cent in Spain, the highest in the OECD.
BITC's Stephen Howard said: "Businesses must dramatically transform their talent and skills strategies to ensure they are attracting skilled young people into their workforces by prioritising young people; being flexible and innovative in their recruitment and employment methods; offering inspiring work experience placements; opening up recruitment to nongraduates and creating work places and roles that meet the needs of young recruits. We challenge our members, and all businesses to ensure the future prosperity of our talent pool and the UK by creating much needed jobs and apprenticeship places for young people."
Steve Holiday, chief executive of the National Grid added his voice to the plea: "With youth unemployment rising to a million, and our talent pool drying up, responsible businesses have the capacity, if not a duty, to open up the avenues and create new opportunities to attract young talent. An important first step would be to make a radical change to how they approach the first introduction to the world of work by offering quality work experience that is both relevant and inspiring."
While the low number of young people going into work directly from education partly reflects the 'pull' of further and higher education, it also reflects the 'push' effect of the lack of jobs for young people. The recession has also left around recruitment paths and jobs specifically designed for young people such as apprenticeships: "Young people represent a massive pool of untapped potential for UK businesses and their continued exclusion from the world of work has serious consequences to both business and society – with each picking up the bill," said BITC's chief executive, Stephen Howard.
A disproportionate number of new vacancies are currently being offered to young people; of the 453,000 jobs available during the period from June to August this year, only 7,950 were apprenticeship positions, not all of which are offered to young people. According to the UK Commission for Employment and Skills (UKCES), just one in five UK employers recruits 16-18 year olds directly from school.
Paul Brown, director of communications at the youth charity The Prince's Trust, said: "Youth unemployment is like a dripping tap, costing tens of millions of pounds a week through benefits and lost productivity. And, just like a dripping tap, if we don't do something to fix it, it's likely to get much worse." Young people not in employment, education or training cost the economy £11bn a year with additional costs incurred because they are more likely to become long-term unemployed. They also earn less over their lifetime, suffer harmful effects on their individual happiness and health and are more likely to have a criminal record than young people in employment.
In 2010, unemployment among 15-24 yearolds stood at 19.1 per cent in the UK, up from 14.4 per cent in 2007, before the recession, according to the Organization for Economic a tenth of the total employed workforce underemployed; wanting to work more hours than are currently available in their job. According to UKCES, the proportion of employees receiving work-related training is on the decline, and while young people still receive more training than other age groups, the number receiving training is declining faster. Young people are also twice as likely to be employed on temporary contracts.
UKCES believes that employers have a responsibility to open up work and training opportunities for young people, creating clear work-based training pathways and progression opportunities. The commission said this should open more doors, improve job quality and encourage young people to take a work-based route to qualification.
It added that there needs to be continued support for internships and work experience programmes; improved awareness of government support, especially in the private sector; easier access for employers to organisations supporting the workforce; improved awareness of support among small and medium-sized enterprises; targeted, rather than blanket campaigns; an expansion in the quality and quantity of apprenticeships; an expansion of preemployment training; and a benefits system that responds to changes in the labour market.
The latest unemployment figures will also increase the pressure on the UK Government to support the private sector. Kevin Green, chief executive of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation, said: "Employers are being very cautious about hiring at the moment. This has been exacerbated by weak consumer confidence which leads to people staying in their current role rather than changing jobs.
"The private sector is still producing new jobs but not in the quantity needed to offset the job losses in the public sector. These factors combined have resulted in the slowest increases in both permanent and temporary billings since August 2009. It's vital that we look at ways to boost these numbers, particularly for young people who continue to be disproportionately affected by unemployment.
"To combat this, the REC is urging the Chancellor to introduce a National Insurance holiday for at least a year to encourage SMEs to take on young people. This is becoming even more critical because employers can no longer force older workers to retire at 65. While it is important that mature workers can continue to contribute to the workforce, it means even fewer roles will be available to younger candidates so efforts must be made to incentivise businesses to create jobs."
According to Fred Turok, founder of the youth employment charity Transforming a Generation, success will rely on a partnership between the public and private sectors: "Government must show leadership and provide the funding, but employers must match this commitment. They must understand and acknowledge the role they have to play in helping to heal this deep societal wound – the eradication of hope and opportunities of our youth.
"After all, employers accept their responsibilities when it comes to the environment, equality and employee rights, so why not their role and responsibilities to future generations? They can make an immediate and very practical impact which would have huge benefits. This could be as simple as looking at the reality of youth unemployment, mentoring young people and helping them understand the reality of the world of work, or offering work experience and apprenticeships."

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Vatican police have testified today that they found thousands of documents hidden inside the home of Pope Benedict's former butler. They said they included original documents signed by the pope with indications that they should be destroyed.
The officers testified in the trial of the former butler, Paolo Gabriele (POW'-loh gah-bree-EHL'-eh). He faces four years in prison if convicted of aggravated theft for allegedly stealing papal documents and leaking them.
Prosecutors have said he told them he leaked the documents in order to expose what he called the "evil and corruption" in the church and help put it back on the right path.
Yesterday, Gabriele told the Vatican court that he stands by his confession, and that he betrayed the pope's trust -- but that he still is pleading innocent to the charge of aggravated theft.

The Leader Within
The Leader Within
We all have aspirations, and for many of us who work in an office, our
goals include moving up to a supervisory position.
Along with the move up comes more responsibility, not to mention more direct input in the future of the company we work for, as well as admiration from co-workers and of course, a higher paycheck. Still, even though they may want to one day become a boss, some people may question their abilities to lead others.
We invite you to look inside yourself, and consider the following five leadership traits that corporate HR directors have determined as essential attributes in a good boss:
- Ability to delegate.
- Control-freaks often get nowhere in todays super-charged multitasking business environment. The smartest bosses know that they will shine the brightest when they trust their subordinates to handle a share of the workload.
- Fairness.
- No, you don't have to be considered soft in your approach to managing, but successful leaders are keenly aware that different people, and many situations, are unique unto themselves. Therefore, you must evaluate each circumstance with an open mind, and never pre-judge anyone.
- Coolness under pressure.
- It can get awfully hot under the collar when your'e the boss, particularly when tight deadlines are involved. The best leaders remain calm, cool and collected...knowing that panicking usually leads to rash decisions while also sending negative messages to subordinates.
- Knowledge.
- Many bosses can talk the talk, but can they walk the walk? Those who can take the time to learn everything they need to know about their companies, their industries, their customers and the strengths and weaknesses of the people who work for them. As they say, knowledge is power.

In my experience, the stock market is easier to win at than the Auction House. There are so many more imbalances in stock markets, it's very easy to (usually) cherry pick things that are way too high, or way too low. On my realm, there tends to be a general balance to the price of mats v. crafted materials, to where imbalances are very few (and I jump on them when they are there) and far between.

Atmosphere was nice. Music and food were excellent and so was the service. Would go back again.

We took my friend to this poor establishment for her birthday. Two of us got there before the others so we ordered appetizers. It took the appetizers 45 minutes to get to the table. Our server's attitude got nasty after she realized that our group was not ordering liquor. She took some of our orders after we had to call her over twice. We realized that forty five minutes passed before we got our food. We quickly order three more entrees and more drinks, which took almost an hour to get to the table. One of our fish meals was cold. We called over the manager because we were just about ready to leave from all the poor service and mediocre food. The manager was defensive of the cold meal they brought out. With the cold plate in his hand, he told us that the fish was made to order. It definitely wasn't if it's cold along with the sides. Then our server came over to say that it was "impossible" that the fish came out cold. Excuse me! She came to pick up the check faster than she came to get our orders.

Their food might be somewhat good, there service was poor, refreshment taste watered down, glasses are very small not your money worth, they take almost a hour to tell u they don't have what u order, a very very long wait for food. Not good with seating, ppl were standing with their butts near your plate very crowded.
Posted by Love to DIne on 05/23/2010
Went there for the first time on 5/21/10. I must admit the food is really good. However, I found several issues they really need to take heed to. 1. There is no greeter or sign to inform you that you just walk in & grab an available table. Quite a few ppl left after standing at the door for sometime not realizing you seat yourself or you sat down and no one acknowledges you 2. Although not crowded you wait forever for a waitress to attend to you 3. Appetizer portion is extremely small

Fisheye is definitely a place my friends and I go to often, especially on Monday's. Their food is excellent; but, the service can be a little faster well way faster. Additionally, it is a lounge as well. So just don't go looking rugged!

Comments On May 26, 2014:Great tire for the price. Rear tires seem to be rather hard even after 2 months on my dvx400. Even with the tire pressure rather low they seem to not flex like my previous tires, kenda kutters. Overall the price is reasonable for the quality. They hook up decent.

Comments On May 18, 2014:I purchased these tires for the rear of my raptor 660. They are definitely tough. 4 months of riding in the rocky hills of Utah and Nevada. These things have held up awesome.

Comments On Feb 09, 2014:I bought these about a year ago and they lasted until this weekend. I guess the Las Vegas desert rocks finally caught up with me, and the right rear tire now has a 2 inch gash on the inside of the sidewall. The tire was great up until the failure.
Tread wore very evenly and the tire survived some pretty harsh conditions here in Vegas and in the mountains of Utah. Just too bad the tire's life was cut short. A "Johnny Campbell" type day ended way too early. The old story of everything was going great until....

Comments On Dec 29, 2013:It is an OK tire, which is surprising for a Tusk product. Came pretty rolled and twisted in shipping, but mounted with little issue. No issues with wear or punctures yet.

Comments On Jan 02, 2014:These TUSK voltage tires are great. They have massive lugs on the rears, and the design on the front tires helps them track very straight. If you want some great tires without spending a bunch of money, these are it.

Exceptionally balanced herbal citrus accord with some beautiful lemon and bergamot top notes followed by a deep earthy patchouli warmed and sweetened with rose/geranium heart.
It is perfect because it is utterly focused and to the point, yet not too simple. It wears very easily, lasts all day, lacks any offensive chemistry-set notes and is not overpowering.
Brilliant for casual or everyday formal.

I was hoping this was a re-issue of the original Aramis Tuscany that came out in the 1980's. Unfortunately, no.
First sign was the bottle itself (although I knew what I was getting when I saw it on your webpage):
the original was a black onyx-like color.
The main disappoinment is that the scent just does not last.
The original lasted all day into the night.
I guess whatever it is that gave it that long-lasting scent is too expensive.

Andrea: "Milton I want you to give me a specific answer to a specific question. Where's the Governor?"
Axel: "I hope nothing happens. Guns scare the bejeezus out of me."
Axel: "You quite a lady!"
Merle: "Whoa, take it easy little buddy. I'm just trying to have a little fun here. No need to get your panties all in a bundle!"
Merle: "Wild animals gettin' wild ... oh come on why don't you just piss in my ear and tell me it's raining too. That there is the sound of a couple 'coons making love, sweetie love. Know what I mean?"
Merle: "The least they can do is give us an enchilada or something. Easy does it senorita, everything is gonna be fine..."
Daryl: "You lost your hand cause you're a simple minded piece of sh!t!"
Daryl: "He's Korean!" Merle: "Whatever, man."
Daryl: "I may be the one that's walking away, but you're the one that's leaving!"
Glenn: "With Daryl gone, and Rick wandering crazy town, I'm the next in charge."
Rick: "I, I've been, I've got stuff … out here. stuff..."
Axel: "My brother? Hell no! He had a real money problem … he didn't lend me any! One time that sonofa…(blammo!)"
Winner: Merle. DUH!
What everyone is up to
Rick: Looking through fences A LOT to suggest that maybe he's a prisoner of his own madness?
Carl: Shooting his cowboy gun at the zombies. Trying to figure out what all those dang walkers are doing in the tombs!
Glenn: Giving a sweet Ray Lewis pregame speech ("We're gonna defend this place. We're making a stand!") and bossing everyone around.
Daryl: Coveting a pot to piss in. Ahh the creature comforts...
Carol: Using Axel as an awesome human shield like in Total Recall. Flirting with Ax.
Hershel: Hopping around on one leg and becoming the most sensible wizard in all the land.
Maggie: Giving Glenn the cold shoulder.
Beth: Teaching Maggie how to rear a child.
Andrea: Harshing Milton's buzz.
Michonne: Hiding out in her "Into the Wild" bus. Showing off her (lack of) shooting skills.
The Governor: Making Milton all nervous. Doubting Andrea. Killing my friend.
Merle: Spitting luigis all over the place and spitting racial epithets.
Axel: That's a wrap on Axel! Telling his awesome back story.
Milton: Acting all paranoid and stoned. Obsessively checking his wrist watch.
Tyreese: MIA.
Best zombie kill
Umm, hello? Subaru Outback trunk slammed on zombies back of head and it smashed like a rotten watermelon? Hi?
I know that zombie's heads are kind of decayed and stuff but do you really think that its head would smash up so easily? A human skull is pretty strong. And aren't those trunks built to not slam too hard, probably so people couldn't slam a trunk on someone's head and kill them?
Creepiest zombie
One of the guys that was tormenting Rick had a weird shape to his face. He had a big hook nose like he was that eagle from the Muppets.
Death count
Zombies: The official count was 31, for a total of 209 on the season. By my count there were 30, but that was just on a quick run through striking the 'x' key on my sick MacBook Pro every time I thought a zombie got iced. One off? Come on you guys that's pretty good...
Humans: I think there were three (Axl, the one Maggie shot in the guard tower, and that other guy). Would you really call them humans though? I mean they're more like savage animals it makes me sick to my stomach to even think about those pieces of disgusting dirt.
Lingering questions
- Where are Morgan and Duane?
- How do Milton's inventions work?
- Where did Tyreese and his group go?
- Who was that foreign family and what were they saying?
A look ahead to next week's episode, "I Ain't a Judas"
Carl tells Rick you should stop, stop being the leader. Andrea wants to visit the prison but the Gov is like if you go it's a one way ticket on your last chance ride, it's a one way ticket to your suicide, it's a one way ticket and there's no way out alive. Andrea also kills a zombie out in the woods. And the Gov removes his eye patch. Hershel and Merle have a chit chat, and Merle tells Hersh how the Governor is gonna kill all of them.

Featured Story
Why There's No Real Inflation (Yet)According to Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman, "inflation is always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon."
Well, apparently not...
There's certainly plenty of cause for inflation today. Every central bank in the Western world is holding interest rates down, and almost all of them are printing money like it's going out of style. And the big deficits governments were running should be making inflationary matters even worse. Taken together, monetary and fiscal policies are far more extreme than they have ever been.
But today inflation is only running at around 2% - well below where it should be, according to Milton's monetarist theories.
What does it all mean?

Moline School Board members on Monday moved forward with sweeping changes expected to save the district more than $1.5 million by eliminating 17 staff members. Despite pleas that the decisions were coming too fast with too little input, school board membersapproved a modified high school calendar that administrators said will allow for the reduction of 12 full-time staff members and an estimated savings of at least $600,000. They also approved middle school changes that will allow for the reduction of five full-time staff members between the two buildings and an expected savings of at least $250,000. The changes will take effect next school year. Also starting next school year, high school students will move toward fewer credits to graduate -- 21.5 compared to the current 23. The change will allow changes to the high school schedule. All of the changes were approved unanimously. The district also is withdrawing from the Black Hawk Area Special Education District in 2014, a change that is expected to save the district close to $1 million per year, said superintendent David Moyer. Bob Vogelbaugh cast the lone vote against leaving the special education district. Some of the 70-plus people at Monday's meeting told board members they felt blindsided by the agenda items. Some said they only learned about the items just before the meeting. "Obviously, there is a budget problem, but has there been stakeholder input?" askedTrent Lamphier, a Moline High School teacher with four children attending district schools. "I don't know what our options are, and I don't know if members of the community know." Moline Education Association president Shelly Rumler also appealed to board members, saying there was not adequate time for input. She asked the board to do a study to ensure all stakeholders were involved. Board members said the issues all had been studied at length in prior years and the time to take action was now.Board member Bob Tallitsch said he didn't see how tabling the issues for a few weeks would lead to the needed money materializing. He said emails and phone calls he had received prior to the meeting were "all over the map. "Everyone of us sitting here has been consulted on this," Mr. Tallitsch said. "We have not been blindsided on any of this. We tried to let everybody know as soon as we could that these are tough decisions. Dr. Moyer and other administrators stressed the decisions were needed to provide adequate time to notify affected staff members and to create course schedules so high school students can begin building schedules for next year. The high school changes involve moving to a schedule where all students take six courses; students in band, choir, engineering or world languages could take a seventh course. Students who do not take a seventh course can use the first period for intervention and enrichment. Early bird courses also would be reduced to only students needing credit recovery work. Administrators said the change will reduce the number of electives offered and, therefore, staff needed. The middle school changes are designed to implement best "middle level practices" and serve an increasing number of English Language Learners. The decision to leave the special education district drew tears from some center staff members at the meeting. But Mr. Moyer and assistant superintendent Christina Denman said they are confident the district can provide high quality programming and services to special education students needing it without the additional costs that come with the current center. They said they will ensure students' needs are met as a first priority, with some students possibly sent outside the school district for services. "I believe we can deliver better services to our kids," Ms. Denman said. Mr. Tallitsch said the board received a report from an outside consultant during the last academic year that suggested taking the actions approved Monday night to better serve students. Mr. Moyer said board members had to decide now call to withdraw from the center to provide adequate notice to the 13 other districts who participate in the education co-op. In other business, board members adopted a tax rate of 5.05 percent which they expect to generate $41.8 million. This means the owner of a $100,000 house could expect to pay $1,684.74 in taxes, or $1.93 less than the prior year.

FILE - In this Oct. 22, 2010 file photo, Jeff Hall, who was killed by his son, holds a Neo Nazi flag while standing at Sycamore Highlands Park near his home in Riverside, Calif. Defense attorneys for a boy charged with killing Hall, his neo-Nazi father when he was 10 years old has rested its case without calling the boy to testify, Wednesday, Jan. 9, 2013. (AP Photo/Sandy Huffaker, File)
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A California judge found Monday that a boy was responsible for the second-degree murder of his white supremacist father when the defendant was just 10.
Prosecutors argued the boy, now 12, knew what he was doing when he shot 32-year-old Jeff Hall — a regional leader of the National Socialist Movement — and the slaying was premeditated.
Defense attorney Matthew Hardy said his client grew up in an abusive and violent environment and learned it was acceptable to kill people who were a threat. Hardy contended the boy thought if he shot his dad, the violence would end.
The boy, who is not being identified by The Associated Press because of his age, did not testify at trial.
Riverside Superior Court Judge Jean Leonard heard the case without a jury. At issue was whether the boy knew what he was doing was wrong and whether there was premeditation.
Prosecutors argued that the child killed his father to keep him from splitting up with his stepmother, who at first said she had killed Hall but then quickly retracted her statement. She was not charged in the case.
The boy's younger sister bolstered the prosecution's case by saying her elder sibling plotted the shooting days in advance.
Hall was shot at point-blank range with a .357 Magnum while he slept on a sofa in the family home.
The boy said in a videotaped interview with police that he didn't think he'd get in trouble because he saw an episode of "Criminal Minds" in which a child killed an abusive father and wasn't arrested.
Prosecutors maintained Hall's white supremacist beliefs had nothing to do with the crime. They noted the boy had a history of violence that dated back to kindergarten when he stabbed a teacher with a pencil.
Hardy said he hopes the boy, if convicted, would not be sent to a juvenile lockup but rather be placed in a private facility that offers therapy, medical treatment and schooling.

It's interesting to look at the state of horror these days. Thankfully it's fairly strong in numbers with releases happening every month. If you'll pardon the digression, my two cents on the state of horror helps to explain my feelings on "Stitches" more accurately.
It's confirmed folks, "Star Wars" "Jurassic Park". I know it seems kind of obvious but Kathleen Kennedy has made it official by stepping down from the producer role on the fourth installment of the dino series in order to take on that role in the next "Star Wars" film. Han Solo battling a T-Rex. Now that's a movie I'd like to see.
Jason Clarke, of big old drunk in "Lawless" fame, is the latest name to be tagged to "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes". No real word on what role he'll play but I swear to god if there's a drinking monkey in this movie it will be my favorite film of the year.
Because it would kill me to go more than three days without some casting news for the new "Zombieland" series coming to Amazon here's some news about Kirk Ward being confirmed for a role. Ward will play one of the leads in the series, I assume based solely on the fact that he looks a lot like Woody Harrelson.
I don't know why you have to make a movie about a clown returning from the grave to bring vengeance on a group of kids that let him die but "Stitches" is just such a film. It's also a film that's been slapped with an April 1st release date on VOD and Blu-Ray. April fools day, I get it. Honestly though they could just show a bunch of real clowns sitting around drinking coffee and it would be scary as hell.
The new law I learned this week? Apparently it's illegal to drive around Michigan while sucking on a dildo. Put it in the books.
It's got to be exciting when you win the lottery. So exciting that you'll probably want to throw a party. Maybe such a big party that you mistakenly blow up your house while torching up some meth. It is nice to see some younger folks winning for once at least.
If you know one thing about me it's that I love... LOVE... Japanese Sci-Fi novels. I can't get enough of them. So the news that my all time fave book, "Tokisuna no Ou (The Lord of the Sands of Time)" is being turned into a big time movie. For those of you not as cool as me the book is about a group of people sent back in time to try to stop an alien invasion that wiped out the human race. Wait if they wiped out the human race how are the people alive to go back? Oh jeez ya got me, I have no idea what this thing is.
So last week we talked about how Sean Durkin had been lined up to do a new mini series based on "The Exorcist", telling the tale that leads up to where the first film picked up. Well it turns out that was a lie, or at least that's what William Peter Blatty, the author and rights holder of the story, says. And I'd guess he would know. But good news is he's got his own mini-series based on the novel that he's hoping to pimp out. So ya know, first sweet, then sour. They should make a candy based on this too.
"Monster Butler" sounds like it would be a laugh out lound romp but in reality it's about a real life serial killer/theif/bi-sexual con man. Not nearly as funny as a mutant that walks around a mansion serving caviar and crap. Dominic Monaghan and Gary Oldman have been added to the cast. Neither of them are funny though. This is the most un-funny post ever.
Conor McMahon's zombie killer clown flick "Stitches" has been picked up by the fine folks at Kaleidoscope Entertainment and Signature Entertainment for a Halloween release in the U.K. No news on when it'll hit these fine States so this one is all for your Brits. Let's call it even for that whole tea party thing.
Not going to lie this has happened to me on more than 1 occasion and I've thought of doing the same thing. An Ohio man rammed his truck into a Taco Bell after they forgot to give him his taco. His did this over a taco. I drove all the way home once and realized they forgot my Mexi-Melt. I should be given an award for not burning the whole thing down. They did give me free cinna-sticks for my trouble though. So I guess that was kind of nice.
A 35 year old Alabama woman is under arrest after she decided to take a drive down to Florida, pull over on the side of the road, and go to town on herself while sitting on the hood of her car while passing motorists watched. I thought Florida had enough problems with its own crazy people now they have to worry about people from other states coming there to do their weird crap.
I have no idea why anyone would want to visit Russia when their greatest commodity is already dancing at Private Eyes up on 45th and 8th, but the movie "The Darkest Hour" tells the story of a group of travelers stuck in Moscow during an alien invasion. A new poster for the flick has popped up online and it looks like all hell is breaking loose in Mother Russia. I hope this doesn't make people lose their place in line for bread.
Everybody hates clowns. Unless they're slutty clowns on Halloween, most people are on board with that. But an undead clown, that changes everything. The movie is titled "Stitches" and it tells the tale of a clown who returns from the grave to take out his vengeance on a group of teenagers who caused his death some years ago. It's a horror comedy and it's British so that means there's going to be a lot of bad teeth gags and Spam jokes. I assume. Most of what I know about the UK comes from Austin Powers and Monty Python.
"Hatchet" director Adam Green has confirmed "Killer Pizza", a new romp about a teen who takes a summer job at a pizza parlor that turns out to be the front for a monster hunting agency. The good people at MGM will be putting out the film so it might actually have some money behind it. God willing that doesn't mean they'll leave out the Kane Hodder sex scene.
If there's one thing Rob Zombie's witch revenge flick "The Lords Of Salem" has been missing it's sex appeal. Well good news you ornery little skanks, Sid Haig has officially joined the project as one half of a witch hunting duo. Boner time!
I like it! A Colorado man when ape shit yesterday when his local Best buy ran out of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3". The 31 year old became so upset that he threatened to shoot employees in the parking lot and blow up the store if they didn't get him his game. I hope they have Xbox in jail.
A threesome can ruin any relationship. Sure you want to see your wife go to sexy town with another woman now but once things start to actually happen you get to thinking about how this might effect the long term relationship. So it's understandable that this guy in Florida might have freaked out a little when his wife brought another women into the bedroom. What isn't understandable is that he took out his frustration on the two women by going all Ike Turner on them. That's going to probably cause more damage than the hot action.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".
