Wednesday, July 8, 2009
Yesterday, Dr. BBQ andI tag-teamed on a Daytime segment. Ray brought his Big Green Egg to the roof of the studio end filmed a segment on pulled pork sandwiches, western North Carolina style.
This thing really does look like a muppet character with its mouth wide open, huh!?
That above right there in the mouth of the Egg is a pork butt. An overnight-smoked pork butt. That's a sweet pig's ass.
Which really isn't the pig's ass. But you'd think with a name like "BUTT" you'd expect to be eating the pig's ass. Who the hell named a pig's shoulder "BUTT??"
uh oh.
BEFORE you watch the video….I just wanna say that:
Dearest Daytime Host Dave,
I know that at the very beginning of the video it looks like you got a pie thrown at your face. A big, fat whipped cream pie.
Something happened to the video somewhere along the line from the studio to satellite to my home through the cable tubes to my recorder to the DVD to my computer to iMovie through the Internet tubes to BlipTV back through the Internet tubes into your computer monitor.
Somewhere along that chain, somehow you got blasted with whipped cream. But at least it was quick-disappearing whipped cream, after a few seconds it magically disappears! I am so sorry, but I've tried three times to wipe the whipped cream off the video, but I can't seem to fix the problem.
So to make it up to you, I will let you throw a pie at ME, 5 seconds before we go on air. I think that's quite fair, don't you?
Love, happiness and pie,
Thank you Sur La Table for providing the beautiful Foldable Grilling Tools
Here's host Dave, adjusting his microphone. Rob the floor manager and camera man coordinates the cameras, the talent and the set.
And this is his Dr. BBQ's latest cookbook, The NFL GameDay Cookbook. The recipe for the Barbequed Pulled Pork Sandwiches are from this book. Your lover promised some nookie tonight if you bought the book.
So here's what Ray made:
Oh, you want a closer look?
But WAIT! I didn't even tell you my part in this tag-team!
Oh wait til you see what I made with his pulled pork…I Asian-fied it with a special BBQ sauce recipe from Kogi BBQ Taco Truck in Los Angeles…I've got a recipe and video of the: Korean Style Tacos with Kogi BBQ Sauce.
From The NFL Gameday Cookbook by Ray, Dr. BBQ, Lampe and published by Chronicle Books
This is what real barbecue is all about. A long slow cooked pork shoulder is as good as it gets. Yes, the butt comes from the shoulder. It's the shoulder blade or the butt end of the whole shoulder. These sandwiches are best served topped with coleslaw. Pick one of mine or use your family favorite.
For the rub
3 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons black pepper
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon paprika
One 7 to 8 pound pork butt, fat cap trimmed off
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 cup apple juice or apple cider
2 cups Dr. BBQ's Carolina Barbecue sauce (Recipe below)
12 hamburger buns
To make the rub, in a small bowl combine the salt, pepper, granulated garlic and paprika. Rub the meat with the oil and then sprinkle liberally with the rub. Put in the refrigerator for at least a half hour and up to 12 hours.
Prepare the grill or smoker indirect at 275 F using hickory and cherry for flavor. Put the butt in the cooker and cook until the internal temperature is 160 F. This should take 6 to 8 hours depending on your cooker. Lay out a big double piece of heavy duty aluminum foil and put the pork butt in the middle. As you begin to close up the package pour the apple juice over the top of the butt and then seal the package, taking care not to puncture it put it back in the cooker. Return the package to the cooker and cook until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 195F. This should take another 2 to 3 hours. Remove the package from the cooker to a baking sheet. Open the top of the foil to let the steam out and let it rest for 1 hour. Using heavy neoprene gloves or a pair of tongs and a fork transfer the meat to a big pan. It will be very tender and hard to handle. Discard the juices as they will be quite fatty. Shred the meat discarding the fat and bones. It should just fall apart. Continue to pull the meat until it's shredded enough to make a sandwich. Add 1 cup of the sauce and mix well. Reserve the additional sauce for serving on the side. Serve on fluffy white buns topped with Cole slaw.
Makes 12 sandwiches
1 cup vinegar
2/3 cup ketchup
2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
In a small saucepan mix together the vinegar, catsup, sugar, salt, Worcestershire and pepper flakes. Cook over low heat for 5 minutes stirring to blend.
Makes about two cups
This slaw goes well with all the real barbecue dishes.
One 16-ounce package of shredded Cole slaw mix
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced thin
1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
1 jalepeno, halved and sliced thin
For the dressing:
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon sugar
In a large bowl mix together the dressing ingredients. Add the slaw mix, the red pepper, the onion and the Jalapeno. Toss to coat. Let rest 5 minutes and toss again. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
Makes about 8 servings.
OK, pulled pork usually doesn't require anything other than itself to get me drooling. BUT. I see cucumbers on top. Pickled ones. And I spy a bit of red chile pepper there, too. And this sauce that's bathing the pork. WANT.
some of the best bbq sauces we've ever had was in north carolina..love the tangy vinegar based sauces.
sometimes a fried of mine smokes pork butt in a old oil drum… eek… whatever, you use what you can get!
Oh my… drool… Please, just overnight it to me, PU-leeeeze!!
Ahhh! The sandwiches look awesome, but I'm really drooling over the tacos. I want them now. Can't… wait … that … long … haha
I agree with Kristin. The tacos look divine and so tasty. Okay…. I want one and I want one NOW!! May have to blow off the leftover L.A. Kalbi for lunch and head over the Taco Bus instead. Arghhh! Choices, choices, choices…Isn't life grand?!?!
So what if I don't have a grill or a smoker? Can I just use my oven?
I could eat that taco right now, for breakfast. The coleslaw recipe looks yummy too. I love light mayo-free slaw.
Stephanie, you can use your oven or even easier, your crockpot and get a tasty dish. BUT, it will be nothing like the wood smoked, genuine item. I cooked about 30 lbs of pork shoulders for the 4th of July weekend, overnight for about 18 hours total. It don't get much better 'n that!
You make me look very good! Thanks.
I've been looking for a BBQ and that one sounds good. Those sandwiches look incredible and can't wait to try them!
Good God those look scrumptious!! Love the green egg but can't afford one, but do have a good friend who has one. We can be considered friends with benefits! Yummy, yummy benefits.
Can't…stop…salivating! I'm looking forward to your recipe tomorrow.
This looks soooo ridiculously good! I may have just drowned my keyboard in drool!
Those tacos look awesome. I love how pulled pork is so versatile. I've used it in pasta and even with scrambled eggs.
That looks amazing! I love those green eggs and hmm, very much looking like a muppet indeed! Now if it only stopped raining here I could maybe have some BBQ-ed pork…:(
Jaden, why must you be so amazing? I am definitely going to try this recipe with Deb's light brioche burger bun recipe (from Smitten Kitchen). I am betting that they are going to taste phenomenal together.
By the way, I love the drawing!
The big green egg is hilarious! Then I saw those sandwiches and i just drooled…love it!
Hi Jaden!
First of all, you totally made my day by demystifying "pork butt." All this time I've been obsessed with pulled pork, while feeling a weird tinge every time I think it's a pig's ass. A shoulder seems far more acceptable, and less weird feeling-inducing.
Secondly, holy cow, woman! Your recipe looks absolutely fabulous. My boyrfriend and I JUST bought our first bbq, so you best believe I'll be making your recipe this weekend.
These look so scrummy! Just woke up and saw this, making me want to skip breakfast and straight onto these!
oh my god. im CRAVING those sandwiches now! just the pulled pork alone would have been enough to make me want it really bad, but bbq? and tangy slaw…sigh…i want!!
oh and i LOVE how natural your photos look! very believable!
I'm from Eastern NC and love eastern style, vinegar based sauce on my Q. I don't have a Big Green Egg, but cook my Boston Butt, low and slow in the oven. I rub it down with a rub,then cook it at 250* until the bone pulls out. I shred it with 2 forks, and use my Dad's recipe for the BBQ sauce. I also love making sandwiches with cole slaw, just mayo and 1 capfull of vinegar, salt and pepper. I'm a happy girl then!!!
Oh yumm…I hope one day you'll share Dad's BBQ Sauce recipe! ~j
LMAO over the lover comment! You're freaking hilarious. I hope you're right or my wife is really going to wonder about me when I walk into the bedroom naked holding a copy of Ray's book.
Driving home from Cades Cove last night, we passed about a half dozen roadside bbq stands or joints. I said that I should stop at the grocery store and grab a pork butt to throw on the Egg overnight, but didn't. Now I'm regretting it this morning….I could be having me some delicious 'que this morning.
How are you enjoying your Egg?
Would I be able to do this in a slow cooker? If so, on what temp and for how long? Thanks in advance for your response.

The five most miserable sports cities in America
4/16/13 in General Sports | droth | 127 respect
The "Rock and Roll Capital of the World" gets a lot of attention for being a depressed sports city, in part because the Cavs were victimized by Michael Jordan during his ascension. Then the city was embarassed on national television by the player that was responsible for the only on-court success that they had seen in years. Now, with the emergence of Kyrie Iriving, hope is returning but the squad is very much still in rebuilding mode.
The Indians have made the playoffs twice in the last 13 years and one of those times is remembered more for the 10 Plagues-esque sworm of insects than the for fact that the Tribe won the series.
And then there's the Browns. Is Phil Dawson the best player the new version of the Browns has ever had? Well, even if he was, he's a 49er now, so Browns fan are going to have to hope Trent Richardson is the real deal.
For Cleveland sports fans, recent history has been unkind. For this reason, they often top lists of worst sports cities, but they have something that dozens of other sports cities want: historical significance. Jim Brown is considered one of the greatest athletes of all time and Bob Feller is an American hero as well as a legendary pitcher. Lebron and Eric "Mangenius" Mangini may represent recent Cleveland sports history, but the city has other, albeit historic, reasons for sports pride.
2. Kansas City
Most of the cities on this list have something to fall back on. Maybe it's a franchise player to build around or historic successes to take pride in. Kansas City has neither. Sure, George Brett led them to a World Series title in 1985 and they got to watch the tail end of Joe Montana's career, but the rest has been pretty gruesome.
The Royals haven't even made the playoffs since that '85 season and have had only two winning seasons since joining the AL Central in 1994 (one of which was shortened due to the strike). The team has been stocked with top prospects for a few years now but cannot find a way to put the pieces together. They are one of several teams that follow the model of trying to compete with cheap, young talent, but for whatever reason, they are always the worst at it. And when their players do pan out - Carlos Beltran and Zach Greinke, for example - they don't even try to seize the moment, opting instead to save some cash and rebuild some more.
The Chiefs have been slightly more exciting, making the playoffs a whopping two times in the last ten years. They haven't won a playoff game since 1993 but they have seen some interesting and competetive teams in recent history. In 2003, the team started 9-0 and finished the year 13-3 behind the incredible play of Priest Holmes. Every few years since then, the Chiefs will have a season where they win nine or ten games and mislead the city into thinking that they have a chance to change their luck, only to falter again the next year. Now, two years after a 10-win season, the Chiefs are about to pick first in the 2013 NFL Draft.
Stay strong, Kansa City. Eventually these two franchises will put a consistent product out there. Until then, Sporting Kansas City and barbecue will have to suffice.

Kia today revealed the first images of the Cee'd 3door hatchback, the model that will make its world premiere in September at Frankfurt Motor Show. The new model is the production version of the 'pro_cee'd' concept unveiled in 2006 at the Paris Motor Show.
The new production model has been developed by Kia's design team in Europe under the direction of Chief Design Officer, Peter Schreyer.
"Longer, lower and lighter than its five-door sister car, the new Kia Pro-cee'd is going to be a great drive," enthused Mr Jean-Charles Lievens, Senior Vice President Kia Motors Europe. "Combining real style and genuine practicality, our new three-door cee'd is sure to delight existing Kia customers and attract a new group of European consumers who have not yet considered our brand."
The new model will be manufactured in Slovakia and will be the third member of the Kia cee'd family, joining the popular cee'd five-door and the soon to be released cee'd SW models to make Kia an especially strong challenger for C-segment sales in Europe.
Production will begin in November and sales will start from early 2008.

New Tour Dates with Mike Doughty + Just Make It Stop Video
We'll be playing four shows with old friend Mike Doughty in June (story behind the tour is below). Ticket information for each of the shows can be found here.
Jun. 17 – Washington, DC – Sixth & I Synagogue - On Sale Fri 4/19
Jun. 18 – Pittsburgh, PA – Altar - On Sale Sat 4/20
Jun. 19 – Brooklyn, NY – Music Hall of Williamsburg - On Sale Fri 4/19
Jun. 20 – Hamden, CT – Spaceland Ballroom – On Sale Fri 5/3
Jun. 21 – Philadelphia, PA – World Cafe Live - On Sale Fri 4/19
We've also got a new video directed by Philip Harder for "Just Make It Stop".
The story behind the shows:
The pairing was inspired by a fan's tweet, who suggested the two pair up for his "dream show". Both active on Twitter, Low and Mike engaged in the tweet and soon decided it was high time for a rematch as both artists had toured with each other in the past (during Doughty's time with Soul Coughing).
Low frontman Alan Sparhawk says of the pairing: "We are excited to be doing shows this June with our friend Mike Doughty. We first met when his band Soul Coughing brought us on tour years ago. I had heard them. They were like nothing else going on, every piece of the picture was fresh and on the edge – crazy/deep rhythm, samples/noise, word-play and melody. Their influence and friendship over the years has been priceless and dear to us, and Mike's lyrical/vocal grace has always been a level to which I measure and aspire to. The vocal does matter and it can be awesome."
Mike Doughty offers this: "The first time I heard Low, I played before them at CBGB in 1993. I remember leaning up against the wall of the dressing room, behind the stage, and feeling their warm, huge, slow sound vibrating the building. Soon after that, I contacted their producer, Mark Kramer from Shimmy Disc, and made my first solo album, "Skittish," with an explicit mission of replicating the reverbed, dreamy sound of their earliest recordings. Low and Soul Coughing toured together a couple of years after that; we became fast friends, and I remain a massive fan."
Low Movie (How to Quit Smoking)
Friends, we're happy to announce the Low Movie (How To Quit Smoking), twenty years of music videos and short films with director Phillip Harder.

Member since
I am looking for a short span hanging hammock - I plan on hanging it from the ceiling of my vanagon and it looks like I have right at 8 ft to work with - So 3 questions (1) Is 8 ft enough span? (2) What is the sag at 8ft? (How far is the sag from the hang point?) (3) I am 6^3 and 240# is there room in this for any diagonal (assuming the 8ft hang) ?
I appreciate any help that I can get.
John Langer
Member since
Hey JP,
When this hammock is pulled tight (like a guitar string tight) it measures 8 feet long. 8 feet is the maximum span that the hammock itself can cover (the straps allow for adjusting between spans). As you narrow the distance of the span, you're going to get more sag in the hammock. When I've set mine up guitar string tight (due to a huge span between trees and maxing out the slap-strap system) there was minimal sag, maybe only 2-3 feet, but the hammock was a nightmare to get in and out of like that. The prime setup I've found is about 6.5-7 linear feet between connections, where you can expect about 3-4 feet of sag in the hammock.
I think you could make this work in the van, but you're going to want secure anchors that don't allow additional stretch like the slap straps sometimes do, and you're probably going to be just a couple inches off of the floor.

The only included hardware is 2 aluminum carabiners. So you would, in essence, have to devise a way to create some sort of anchors in your ceiling.

Does anyone find it scary how much someone this awesome was forgotten and thrown to the side?
Thanks to the wacky site that is Crunchyroll News, I was reminded about the one and only Rukia Kuchiki of BLEACH as her birthday just passed. Before Mikasa Ackerman took away my heart, Rukia had a cold yet gentle grasp on it and many others.

Can being passionate be bad for your heart? But it might hurt so good. A recent article on Psychological Science put a focus on the link between people with Type A personalities and heart attacks. It heavily suggests that the worst traits, such as anger and hostility, of those with Type A blood tend to go through hits on the heart more than other blood types.
Perhaps the most significant Type A anime/manga character is BLEACH's Ichigo Kurosaki. He goes through so much emotional pain and drama, thanks to the manipulations and desires of those around him. Ichigo is usually thrown around for the worst. Whenever Ichigo confronts someone, he is always tense. Can you blame him though? But Ichigo also has a tendency to stubbornly ignore close friends that he feels should get out of his way, like Tatsuki Arikawa for example.
Yet it's not so simple to just say people's personalities/problems are based off of their blood types. Whatever the case, don't let the stress of life get to you.
If you're Type A, make sure the A stands for awesome.

When you think about all the conflict between different groups/races throughout the ages, what if a small glimmer of hope was revealed to bring them together? But what if that hope possibly meant the extinction of one group? Tite Kubo's BLEACH examined a brief moment where two members of the prominent races, Shinigami and Quincy, got to know each other in a moment of fate that would define the life of Ichigo Kurosaki forever. "Everything but the Rain" (Volumes 59-60) shows how life can be cruel when heavy rain pours down on you, especially a storm with such force as ingroup bias.
Text with 18 notes
We are usually told to give it our all in most aspects in life, yet what if fear takes over? What if you're not able to move on? Those thoughts come to mind when it comes to BLEACH's Kenpachi Zaraki and his recently-revealed history with fellow Soul Society Captain, Retsu Unohana. Their backstory takes a look at the power restraint places on individuals even if they're not aware of it.
Text with 20 notes
Ever had a moment where something happens and you reacted by saying "I knew that was going to happen!"? Imagine that you behaved that way for every major event that happens in your life. Scary, right? Try telling (arguably) the biggest victim of hindsight bias, BLEACH's own Sosuke Aizen, that. Being someone like Aizen doesn't really bode well for one's life since something more powerful than Bankai will make its presence felt: stagnation.

Busy B operates out of two buildings, each staffed by a dedicated group of community volunteers. It is the goal of the members of the society to have the stores open according to the hours listed below, with the exception of civic holidays.

Each year, roughly 75% of taxpayers get a refund from the IRS because the amount withheld from their paychecks wound up exceeding their ultimate income tax liability. We're not talking chump change here either: The average refund tends to be just under $3,000, according to the IRS.
That's a lot of money for anyone, especially in the current economic climate where job security is pretty much nonexistent, student loan debt has surpassed the $1 trillion mark, and the average household owes about $6,980 to credit card companies. On top of all that, only two in five consumers actually adhere to a budget.
So, with most of us clearly in need of some extra cash, two questions are likely at the forefront of our minds as Tax Day nears: 1) Am I going to get a tax refund? and, if so, 2) How should I use it?
Am I Going to Get a Tax Refund?
Based solely on annual averages, the odds of receiving a tax refund are certainly in your favor. But don't use that as an excuse to count your chickens before they're hatched. While you can certainly get a sense of whether or not you're in line for reimbursement by using a so-called tax calculator or doing some quick math to compare your withholdings to your year-end taxable income, you shouldn't count on having that money when planning or making expenses before it's actually in your bank account.
The good news is you don't have long to wait. Even though the IRS started processing tax returns about 10 days later than usual this year because of Congressional uncertainty, it still expects to send refunds roughly three weeks after people submit their returns.
How Should I Use It?
Take a look at the results from the various tax refund surveys now circulating the Web, and you'll see an overarching theme emerge: more than anything else, people intend to save their money this year. For example, 47% of those who expect to receive a refund plan to save it, according to a poll from TD Ameritrade, while 44% plan to pay off debt and 15% plan to invest. Those are very encouraging figures.
However, according to that same survey, 28% of people who expect a tax refund plan to purchase necessities, while 15% plan to put it toward discretionary expenses and 6% say they're going to donate the money to charity. These results are slightly more worrisome, given the obvious trouble we've had distinguishing between luxuries and necessities in recent years. After all, nearly 10% of people see a flat-screen TV as a necessity, according to data from the Pew Charitable Trusts. What's more, a recent poll conducted by the telephone service provider Cricket Wireless revealed that 17% of people consider having a tablet a necessity, while 48% feel the same way about cable and a DVR.
Ultimately, regardless of what we said when those pollsters called, interrupting our dinners in search of information on which to base survey results, it's very important that we remember our recent economic struggles when it comes time to put refund money where our mouths are. Too many of us seem to think that we can just revert back to pre-recession spending habits now that the economy recovery has begun. The thing is, we couldn't afford those spending habits even when they were buoyed by the housing bubble, so what makes us think now is any different? In reality, if we do not stem the rising tide of debt soon, we could be in for a double-dip recession.
It is through such a prism that you should view the following tips for strategic use of tax refund money:
- Strengthen Your Financial Safety Net: For many folks, the economic distress of the Great Recession was exacerbated by misplaced, or perhaps unhedged, optimism. We thought income levels could only go up, so there was no need to bother establishing financial reserves in an emergency fund. Of course, we then had nothing to live off during the extended periods of unemployment that characterized the downturn for so many. So, your top financial priority these days should be to gradually put away about a year's after-tax income in case another break-the-glass situation comes about. Believe it or not, but establishing at least minimal financial reserves is more important than paying off existing balances given that even if you're debt free, you're only one major unexpected expense away from being back in the red if you don't have an emergency fund.
- Pay Off Debt: No one wants to live with the increased costs and stress of unnecessary debt. The most strategic way to pay off amounts owed is to attribute minimum payments to all but the balance with the highest interest rate, which you'll put the remainder of your allotted monthly debt payment toward. Once your most expensive debt is gone, repeat the process until you're debt free. Credit card companies are currently offering 0% introductory interest rates for as long as 18 months, which means the right balance transfer credit card could become quite the asset in your pursuit of debt freedom.
- Invest: Whether it's putting your money in an IRA to lower next year's tax burden, adding to a 529 Savings Plan to help your child pay for college, or further diversifying your stock portfolio, there are plenty of sound investments to be made these days. Don't ignore the benefit of investing in yourself through things like continuing education classes either.
- Refinance: Mortgage rates to continue to hover at historic lows, and your tax refund might enable you to afford the closing costs associated with a refinance. Just make sure to do your homework before pulling the trigger.
- Start a Business: Maybe you've been contemplating a career change. Or perhaps you simply want an alternative revenue stream. Well, your IRS refund could represent some helpful seed money.
- Avoid Prepaid Cards: This isn't really a tip for how to use this year's tax refund, but rather how to receive it. Many tax preparers and some states offer to disburse tax refunds via prepaid card, but prepaid cards often charge a variety of small fees that can eat away at your money over time if you're not careful. If possible, direct deposit is the way to go.
Teachers' Takes
Whether or not you agree with our advice, you don't have to take our word for it. In the interest of representing various perspectives, we also asked professors of personal finance what they believe are the best ways to use tax refunds. Here's what they had to say:
Dr. Ann Coulson – CFP, Instructor in Kansas State University's Institute of Personal Financial Planning
"My recommendations for a tax refund are as follows:
- Apply it toward building an emergency fund, if one does not currently exist. The standard rule is 3-6 months of expenses, but even putting $1000 aside for emergencies will help keep families from blowing budgets when an emergency arises (which it will).
- Paying down consumer debt. Debt typically charges much more in interest than we can earn today, but building emergency savings should come first.
- Save anything else toward financial goals (retirement, education, etc.).
Bottom line is that if the tax refund is very large, they should consider filing a new W-4 with their employer which will reduce next year's tax refund but will increase their takehome pay each month. (Remember, a large tax refund means they have loaned that much money at 0% to the government). Then they need a plan for what to do with their increased takehome pay (see 3 items above) so it does not just get frittered away."
Dr. David W. Leapard – Director of Eastern Michigan University's Center for Economic Education
"One of the things I would caution against is applying your total tax refund to debt paydown. Many young people make this mistake and within another month or two they are back in the debt pool again. Consumers should weigh carefully what portion of the refund will be used for debt paydown and how much can be applied to ordinary living expenses to eliminate the reliance upon credit for the same living expenses in the future."
Robert McLeod – Professor of Finance and John S. Bickley Faculty Fellow in Insurance and Finance Economics in the University of Alabama's Culverhouse College of Commerce
"For consumers I would suggest that they apply the refund to credit card debt of student loans, if they have any. Pay the ones with the highest interest rates first. If they have no credit card debt of student loans and are currently renting, they may want to put the funds in an investment account dedicated to providing money for a downpayment on a house (depending on the relative attractiveness of renting vs. owning in the area in which they reside). Other uses are to save the money and put it in a "rainy day fund" for emergencies; save for children's education; or to put into a retirement account.
For small businesses I would suggest that they pay down high interest debt and/or save the funds to provide working capital to take advantage of discounts for early payment on trade accounts or for quantity discounts. Having additional funds in the business will normally improve the company's credit picture."
Dr. Lance Palmer – Associate Professor of Housing and Consumer Economics in the University of Georgia's College of Family & Consumer Sciences
- The best thing someone can do before they get their tax refund is to think about what is important to them, think about where they want to be in the future, and then figure out what the necessary next financial step is to get to that desired place. Then use the tax return to achieve that goal.Tax refunds, for many, represent a sizable lump sum cash flow that is currently unallocated to routine expenses. Rather than allocating it to routine expenses, look for ways to invest the tax refund for your future.
- Investing in the future. This could included paying off high interest debt so that you can enjoy the reduced strain on your cash flow in the future by not having to pay that debt. It could also include investing in education, job training, equipment for work, or inexpensive transportation so that you can get to work and earn more money. You may also want to consider investing it in home improvements and repairs, little things like additional insulation in the attic, repairing leaky faucets, or other basic maintenance and repair issues around the home could save additional money over the coming year. Finally, you could invest it into a 529 education plan for your children, or you could put it into an IRA (Traditional or Roth) for yourself, or spouse. Also, an overlooked investment by many is investing in peace of mind by having a fully funded emergency fund. Use your refund money to start, build-up, or finish off an emergency fund that will see you through times of financial uncertainty."

Smart Enough:
Your Questions:
"So what will come of the fact that the other board member has missed so many meetings? Is he going to be held accountable by this group of interested taxpayers?"
My petition, as I have stated several times, is regarding those three board members who publicly voted NOT to turn over any information regarding the obvious and blatant misuse and misapplication of public funds. If one chose, the issue you raise is certainly worth discussion and possible action but is not the focus of my actions nor related to the obvious and blatant misuse and misapplication of public funds.
"And back to one of my original questions: is there any conflict of interest?Are either of these two board members connected in some way to the proposed prospective buyers?"
Proposed prospective buyers?? I have only heard discussion, and not by the Board of Directors of the Wilson County Memorial Hospital District, of considering selling the hospital. Has the Board, in fact, stated that the hospital is for sale? If so, it has certainly be held close to the chest, much like the $270,000 + in payments to Dr. Kizzart!
Should there be a conflict of interest, the formal investigation that we are requesting of the 81st District Court will certainly bring it to light!

Frank Zappa's songs to be played by son Dweezil on UK tour
Zappa Jr and band will play 13 shows in the UK this autumn
Starting this November, the tour is being put together by The Zappa Family Trust and follows last year's similar Dweezil Zappa fronted gig at the Roundhouse in London.
Dweezil will be joined by his band Zappa Plays Zappa, to perform the 1974 Frank Zappa album 'Apostrophe' as well as a host of other songs from the avant garde rocker. The show will culminate with a 'from grave to stage' finale, which will see Frank 'performing' with the band, using unreleased video footage.
Dweezil has spoken about the shows, saying:
Not only will we be performing with Frank once again via the technological wonderment of enhanced video during the live performance, but we will also be performing the works from one of his most well known albums. That's right, 'Apostrophe', played in it's album running order. It's always been one of my favourites and it's certainly a fan favourite as well.
He added:
My very first experience playing to a large audience took place in the UK. I played at the Hammersmith Odeon with my dad when I was 12 years old. All these years later I still feel a connection to the UK because it's part of a touchstone type of memory for me.
Dweezil Zappa and Zappa Plays Zappa play:
York Barbican (November 17)
Gateshead The Sage (18)
Edinburgh Picturehouse (19)
Liverpool Philharmonic Hall (21)
Manchester Bridgewater Hall (22)

Should You Give This Stock a Share Of Your Time?
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
While many investors like exciting growth stories and charismatic CEOs, I prefer to select companies with significant competitive advantages by virtue of their business models. Companies, which are beneficiaries of the network effect, tend to enjoy high customer retention rates and become stronger as they grow in size.
Interval Leisure Group (NASDAQ: IILG), is such a company, with an extensive timeshare exchange network of about two million members and 2,800 resorts in more than 75 countries.
Beneficiary of the network effect
If you are the owner of the hottest technology company in Silicon Valley, you will be thinking of NASDAQ as a potential listing venue. On the other hand, if you want to monetize your mining assets in the Asia Pacific region, the Australian Stock Exchange might be your choice. As more companies in the same industry are listed on a particular stock exchange, the listed stocks tend to achieve higher valuations. This is because of the availability of comparable companies and a concentration of investors who understand the industry.
Similar to stock exchanges, Interval Leisure benefits from the network effect. As more members join Interval Leisure's network, the value of its network increases for its members, as more timeshare and properties are available for exchange. This in turn attracts new members seeking to leverage on the availability of options on Interval Leisure's network.
Besides timeshare traders, resort developers are also keen to be part of Interval Leisure's network. Most of them sign multi-year affiliation agreements with Interval Leisure, because they know that participating in such a network allows them to sell timeshare to new customers and satisfy their existing timeshare customers with a wider variety of vacation accommodations in premier travel destinations.
Interval Leisure, with a significant market share of the timeshare exchange industry, grows with time as a result of the network effect. This helps to keep smaller competitors and new entrants at bay.
High membership renewal rates derived from favorable cost-benefit analysis
I have seen an increasing amount of brick & mortar and online retailers specializing in mobile phone accessories over the past few years. In my opinion, this trend is attributed to a cost-benefit analysis, where smartphone users are more willing to spend a fraction of the price they paid for their smartphones on accessories, which enrich the entire mobile experience. In the past, where cheaper feature phones were prevalent, it did not make as much sense to pay so much for phone accessories.
The 'stickiness' of a product or service is dependent on the benefits it provides relative to the costs incurred. For Interval Leisure, its annual membership fee of $89 and a per transaction fee of more than a hundred dollars pales in comparison to the five figure sum typically spent in acquiring a timeshare. However, this membership, which costs so much less than the timeshare, provides the customer with what he really wants from a timeshare: flexibility. Given the huge benefit derived relative to the cost of a membership, it is no surprise that Interval Leisure enjoys membership renewal rates of above 90%.
Looking forward
Interval Leisure grew its fiscal 2012 revenues by 10%, almost double the topline growth for 2011. It also initiated its first regular quarterly dividend in March 2012, and currently sports a 2.1% dividend yield.
Going forward, Interval Leisure intends to increase average revenue per user through attracting more members to its premium programs. In May 2013, it announced that its premium membership Interval Platinum, which costs an incremental fee of $129 on top of its basic membership fee, crossed the 100,000 member mark.
Peer comparison
Interval Leisure's peers include Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE: WYN) and Marriott Vacations Worldwide (NYSE: VAC).
Wyndham Worldwide is the largest hotel franchisor globally. It also owns RCI, the largest time share exchange network in the world, which boasts of 3.7 million timeshare owners and more than 4,000 resorts in 100 countries. RCI, its vacation exchange and rental business, accounts for close to one third of its EBITDA, with its timeshare development and hotel franchisor business segments representing a quarter and close to half of EBITDA respectively, according to a recent investor presentation.
In my opinion, Interval Leisure has stronger growth prospects than Wyndham Worldwide in the timeshare exchange business. This is because Wyndham Worldwide's dual role as both as a timeshare exchange operator and timeshare developer makes it difficult for competing major timeshare developers to list their properties on RCI. This is validated by flat revenue growth for Wyndham Worldwide's vacation exchange and rental business in 2012.
Similar to Interval Leisure, Marriott Vacations is a spin-off of Marriott International's time share unit. Interval Leisure was spun off by InterActiveCorp in 2008. However, Marriott Vacations is more of a timeshare developer. Marriott Vacations derived 49% and 20% of its revenues from sales of vacation ownership products and resort management respectively. Rental of vacation ownership inventory and the financing of consumer purchases of vacation ownership products accounted for the remaining share of its revenues. Going forward, its key target is the enhancement of development margins through the leveraging of fixed selling costs and the reduction of cost of goods sold through increased sales efficiency. Management revised its guidance for development margins from between 16.5% and 17.5% to between 17.0% and 18.0%, following better than expected results in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
Interval Leisure is attractively valued, at a trailing twelve months EV/EBITDA of 8.7. Additionally, Interval Leisure has a competitive edge over its competitors, given its independence as a pure timeshare exchange network operator, with major timeshare developers more likely to list their properties on Interval Leisure's network, in favor of competing timeshare network operators with significant timeshare developer business.

Apparently, you are never too young to begin your royal responsibilities. At only 8-months-old, Prince George is prepping for his first official engagement.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their adorable tyke, will meet up with other new moms and dads at a parenting group.
The Royals will get a chance to swap stories with 10 other families during a three-week trip to New Zealand. Prince George, who is now crawling and has two teeth, will also put in an appearance and play with babies around the same age. "The babies will get down on the floor," a source tells People. "They are at that age when most of them are crawling and starting to explore." Talk about a crazy-cute photo op.
It's just the beginning for the little guy. His life will undoubtedly be a long string of one royal duty after another. There are times it will be daunting, to be sure. It's a good thing he has such loving, seemingly level-headed parents to help him along the way.
Do you think George is too young to have official royal duties?

how cute he gets to have play dates! if this is how his royal engagements look then im sure he will have a blast playing with other kids his age
He's gotten so big since his christening in October. I'm sure he'll have fun playing with other kids his age and doing what he deserves to do, which is being a kid. I am looking forward to watching him grow up.
Hopefully when the Duke and Duchess decide to have another child, Prince George will have a little sister to play with. I would love to see William and Catherine have a daughter. :)

Town and Country Planning
MA (Distance Learning)
This is a distance learning course, and the only course of its kind in the UK. It offers a broad coverage of the social and economic context within which the profession of town and country planning operates, and gives students the opportunity to specialise in an area of their own interest.
Why study Town and Country Planning at Dundee?
The University of Dundee Town and Regional Planning programme operates in a consortium together with the Open University, the University of the West of England (Bristol), Leeds Metropolitan University, and London South Bank University to teach this distance learning course. The course is fully recognised by the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI accreditation) and is the only course of its kind in Britain. It combines a consideration of activities and skills in relation to town and country planning practice (as part of the planning elements) with an understanding of the social, economic and technological context within which takes place (as part of the OU elements).
What's so good about Town and Country Planning at Dundee?
The MA in Town and Country Planning allows students to specialise to a degree by choosing an optional element in line with their personal interests and the course involves the production by students of a dissertation which allows students to explore in depth a topic of their own choosing.
Who should study this course?
The Distance Learning MA gives an opportunity for people who are not in a position to embark upon conventional full-time or part-time courses to qualify as professional planners. This course is suitable for those who want to qualify as a town planner but are:
- Living outside the UK.
- Living in a remote location.
- Unable to allow time for conventional study
It offers great flexibility in terms of how and when studies are undertaken, and at what pace, as well as giving some choice in the subjects included.
Modified courses exist for those who are:
- Working as a planner in Europe but without a recognised planning qualification (the Adaptation Mechanism is an individually tailored programme for RTPI membership).
- Working in a related activity but wish to know more about planning (the Certificate in UK Planning Law and Practice).
- Qualified planners seeking Continuing Professional Development (you can purchase individual modules of the course for CPD).
Related courses
Teaching & Assessment
This course is taught by staff in the School of the Environment.
The start date is January each year.
How you will be taught
The MA in Town and Country Planning is a distance learning programme.
All students are allocated a 'study base' (Dundee for students from Scotland, Ireland or Northern Ireland) together with a personal tutor at that study base. The personal tutor will act as the normal first point of contact, and there is opportunity for face to face contact from time to time with the personal tutor, as well as other course tutors and other students, at the university-based sessions. Students also have the opportunity to make use of library facilities at the study base.
What you will study
There are two distinct but complementary elements of the course, the precise structure followed will depend on the student's previous qualifications and experience (especially whether graduate or non-graduate), though a sequence of courses will have to be followed which will allow new material to build on that already covered.
Planning Courses are devised and run by the four universities in the consortium, and focus specifically on town and country planning practice, considering both the activities involved and the skills required, often related directly to the use and development of land.
Open University Courses provide a contextual understanding of the social, economic, and technological context within which the activity of town and country planning takes place.
How you will be assessed
The course is assessed by a mixture of examinations, tutor-marked assignments undertaken individually by students, and participation in exercises at university-based sessions.
We maintain close links to the planning profession and our graduates readily find work in Scotland, the UK and abroad. As well as jobs in central and local government, planners are employed by planning consultancies, regeneration companies, house builders, supermarkets and utilities such as water companies.
They perform a variety of tasks such as:
- preparing national and regional development strategies
- regenerating declining urban areas
- shaping new and sustainable housing
- protecting and enhancing historic buildings
- promoting biodiversity
- conserving sites of nature conservation value
- negotiating with property developers
- engaging with local people
The MA degree provides students with a sound knowledge and understanding of the built and natural environment and a range of transferable skills such as problem-solving, IT, communications and team work. These qualities have allowed some of our graduates to obtain rewarding jobs in careers other than planning such as business management, retailing, computing and tourism.
Entry Requirements
EU and International students visit our EU and International webpages for entry requirements tailored to your home country.
This course is available for graduate or non-graduate entry - We welcome applications from students without the conventional entrance requirements but who have substantial relevant work or other experience and whose motivation and skills would enable them to succeed on the course.
English Language Requirement: IELTS minimum overall score of 6.0, with a minimum of 6.0 in the writing component and a minimum of 5.5 in the other 3 components.
English Language Pre-Sessional Programmes
We offer Pre-Sessional programmes throughout the year and Foundation Programme(s) for both undergraduate and postgraduate students which start at the beginning of the academic year. These programmes are all designed to prepare you for university study in the UK when you have not yet met the language requirements for direct entry onto a degree programme. Successful completion of these programmes guarantees progression to various degrees at the University of Dundee as long as you hold a relevant offer.
The 30 week (one Academic Year) Foundation Programme(s) allow applicants who have not met our typical academic entry requirements, and require additional English Language support by up to 1.0 IELTS, to gain the necessary qualifications to enter the University of Dundee degree programmes in the following year.
The 24 week Pre-Sessional programme (March – August) provides additional English Language tuition for students who do not meet our minimum English Language requirements by up to 1.0 IELTS and the 10 week Pre-Sessional programme (June – August) (October – December) provides specialist English Language tuition for students who are 0.5 IELTS below the requirement for their degree programme.

Found May 12, 2013 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Pete Carroll, Luke Willson, Sidney Rice
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
According to the Bellingham Herald, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is very impressed with rookie wide receiver Luke Willson, who was taken in the fifth round of this year's draft. Coach Pete Carroll cited Willson as the player who "jumped out" in Friday's first day of minicamp, and with another solid day Saturday, Willson now has more catches as a hopeful Seahawk than he did all last season at Rice (nine). Willson is another of this year's group of rookies who display certain unique talents or physical characteristics. Willson, at 6-foot-5, 250 pounds, clocked a pro-day workout 40-yard time of 4.51 seconds, which, by comparison, matched the time wide receiver Sidney Rice ran at his combine. Willson wasn't a highly productive receiver at Rice, but the Seahawks clearly saw something in him. They may have found a diamond in the rough this year. Need NFL Tickets?
