Found November 14, 2012 on Ted's Army:
PLAYERS: Torii Hunter, Cody Ross, Ryan Kalish
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers
TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers
What's that sound you're hearing? It's a rumbling... Something's about to happen... Oh, I recognize that. That's Cody Ross' asking price skyrocketing. And you're hearing it because 37-year old outfielder Torii Hunter has agreed to a two-year, $26 million contract with the Detroit Tigers. It's not actually a bad deal for Detroit, despite Torii's advanced age. While he's fallen off in the field (already an issue with much of that team), Torii hit well last year, batting .313 with an .817 OPS. He's still got a little pop. And he's notoriously a great clubhouse guy, if that's something that matters to you. Some Red Sox fans (like our own Ben Fountain) were supportive of Torii coming to Boston, but I think most of us are comfortable staying out at that price. Detroit's championship window is like, right this second, so to splurge a little for an extra piece like Hunter is fine. The Red Sox have a ways to go, and while Hunter might have been the difference between, say, 80 and 82 wins next year, that's not really worth spending $26 million. Meanwhile, as I indicated with my brilliant introduction to this piece, Cody Ross is somewhere smiling. Cody is turning 32 next month -- that's five years younger than Hunter -- and put up an .807 OPS last year. He doesn't have the track record of Hunter, of course, but his agent can certainly make the argument that for the next two or three years, he'll be as good or better. Anyone hoping we'd get Cody for two years, $12 million or some similar pipe dream can now forget that. I think we're looking at a three-year, $36 million minimum for Ross now. To which I say, hey, Ryan Kalish, enjoy right field.

It's been tough going for John Tavares and the New York Islanders over the past few months, but tonight, Tavares scored the game winner in overtime and added to help the Isles edge the Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 at the Nassau Coliseum. Dwayne Roloson made 34 saves to earn the victory.
It was the Islanders first win this season after giving up the first goal of the game (1-15-3).
"We've given up enough leads and enough opportunities to close out games," Tavares said. "It was nice for us to step up."
The Islanders came out of the gate flat and were outshot in the first period 16-3. Only the fine play of Roloson kept the Isles in the game.
"Roli kept us in the game tonight," Isles' Coach Jack Capuano said. "When you give a team like that, with a power play like that, six minutes in the first period, we were fortunate to come out of that period 1-0, that's for sure. It could've been two or three. He gave us a chance to battle back and we did, so a lot of credit goes to Roli tonight."
The Lightning took a 1-0 lead on the power play midway through the first period on Ryan Malone's 10th goal of the season. Although three Isles defenders surrounded Malone, he had plenty of time to take a second swing at the puck after fanning on the first one. Roloson reacted to the first attempted shot and was out of position when Malone made contact the second time.
Tampa Bay had plenty of opportunities to expand their lead including four additional power play chances over the first two periods but the Islanders managed to kill them all off and keep the deficit at one goal. The Lightning have the league's most efficient power play.
The Isles drew even late in the second period when Tavares set up P.A. Parenteau at the right circle who beat Lightning netminder Dan Ellis to tie the game with 17 seconds left before intermission. The goal gave the Isles a big boost heading into the locker room for the second intermission.
"It seemed after PA's goal, we really started moving our feet early in the third, really started getting to them and challenging their defense," Tavares said. "We started to pick it up. We got a lot of opportunities."
The third period was by far the Isles best of the game. Although neither team scored, the home team gained momentum as the period progressed.
It all set up Tavares' winner in overtime. Good passing set up a shot by James Wisniewski from the top of the circle and Tavares beat Ellis on the rebound to give the Isles points in their last three games (2-0-1). It was Tavares' first goal in 10 games.
"The last three games have been something to build on," said Tavares, who scored his first goal in 10 games. "We've just got to make sure we keep focused on that. We can't get complacent at all. We know how tough it's been for us the last month and a half. We have to move forward and get something going."
The game also marked the return of forward Josh Bailey, who played his first game for the Islanders since November 21. The club recalled Bailey from Bridgeport earlier this week.
"I felt great," Bailey said. "I felt the way that I have the past couple weeks and tried to bring that same confidence back up here. I created some chances, didn't get the results, but when the team gets the two points, it makes you feel better."
Capuano was very pleased with Bailey's play in his first game back. "That's why he was used in certain situations on the penalty kill," he said. "We talked about Josh coming back from Bridgeport, driving his legs, skating, being creative and making the plays that Josh Bailey does. He had a couple of turnovers tonight, but he did a lot of good things too and that's the Josh Bailey that we need for the rest of the year."
The Islanders return to action Thursday night when they travel to New Jersey to take on the Devils. A win and the Isles can pass the Devils in the standings.
Matt Martin sat out the first game of his two game suspension tonight. The other Isles' scratches were Jack Hillen and Bruno Gervais. Mattias Ritola and Johan Harju were the Lightning scratches.

Look!: A Great Modern Desk Design
This past weekend I visited a lovely small art gallery in Berkeley and, aside from the art, my New Yorker's eye was taken with the owner's desk. A really really simple design, with two custom "boxes" supporting a big, thick, generous piece of glass, we thought this was a great design to bookmark for the future...
The glass is about 1/2" thick and about 3'x5' in diameter. The boxes are made out of simple plywood on the sides and some kind of painted wood or melamine in the middles. I would guess the height of 30" for desk height, about 6" wide and 3' front to back for a total of 30"x6"x36".
The bases are simply boxes with no drawers, but you could design them to have drawers. Ordering glass at this dimension and thickness is easy and pretty much any glass store will do it for you. Building the boxes can either be done by yourself (:-)) or a local carpenter or cabinetmaker.
If you are looking for a desk, this is a great solution that won't cost a lot of $$ and which takes the edge off of the - usually - high tech feeling of a glass top. The warm wood and white background soften the overall design and make it a really lovely, cozy worktop.
6 Comments
It would be more functional if it used short bookcases as bases.
I saw this posted before and I'm still puzzling how this is a great desk design with little kids around - those glass corners are sharp. And, isn't the glass just set on top, which means it could crash and break (unless it's tempered, but it could still be knocked off)?
ack! is it safe for that little kid to be playing around that table? think not.
Thick, tempered glass is available from IKEA in their office section. It's also got rounded corners.
Over the years, my husband and I have used the glass for tops of desks and kitchen tables. It's worked wonderfully. Ikea also has office desk supports called VIKA which provide support as well as shelving.
I agree with Kat1.. hope the kid doesn't suddenly sit up and whack his head big time!
I have the XO desk from Biomorph, great desk.. it covers all aspects you can expect from a desk: ergonomic, style, health, and of course safety. I wish I can post an image, but if you want to take a quick look at the product, here is the link to the its web page

Delay may add to cost of bridge repair
Date: May 12, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
County commissioners voted to add up to $103,750 to the contract to repair Blackburn Pont Bridge in Osprey.
The original schedule for the repairs to the 83-year-old bridge called for the work to begin earlier this month, but residents on Casey Key and along Blackburn Point Road asked the county to delay the month-long job until the end of May.
The county rescheduled the commencement date to May 26. With hurricane season beginning June 1, the new schedule puts most of the work during hurricane season.
So, the county's public works department asked commissioners to sign off on an amendment to the work contract to account for the added risk.
The amendment includes $5,000 for a contractor to prepare for a possible storm and an additional $49,375 to secure the bridge during each of up to two storms that might threaten the area.
The revised total cost of the project is now $4.9 million.
The historic swing bridge will have nearly all of its mechanisms repaired or replaced during the work.

Yesterday I attended the TEDxUSC event held at Bovard Auditorium at the University of Southern California. It was quite an experience and one I won't soon forget. The event ran from 1:00PM in the afternoon until about 6:30PM to be followed by a reception at Town and Gown. The content of the talk was broken up into two sessions with a short break in between. Let's see if I can hit some highlights.
The conference began with a bang. A musical opening by Qi Zhang on her organ was a prelude to a complete performance later in the program. Then out came Chris Anderson, who I later met during the break between sessions, to get us in the right mindset to explore this unique event. USC Provost C.L. Max Nikias talked to us about "intellectual friction" and how to benefit from it. Jane Poynter, of Biosphere 2 fame, discussed her work and her aspirations of putting plants on the moon and mars. Donal Manahan talked about the "Blue Revolution", the idea that we can cultivate a sustainable food source from the ocean. I also enjoyed the talk by Paul Debevec on creating photorealistic digital actors and the technology behind it.
Before the break Salman Ahmad, lead of famous band Junoon, came out to sing to us and brought a suprise guest … Melissa Etheridge! They apparently met at Oslo and collaborated on a song called "Ring the Bells" that they sang for us.
After the break Kellee Santiago of thatgamecompany talked about how we communicate with the digital games in the 21st century. I was captivated by Markus Nordberg talking about the organization and personalities that were behind building the Large Hadron Colider at CERN. An even more amazing talk by Dave Logan followed about Tribal Leadership and how to leverage natural organization of groups. Qi Zhang came out and did the complete rendition of "The Love for Three Oranges", a complete symphony piece, done solo on her Yamaha Electone organ. And Mark Humayun talked about restoring sight to the blind with artificial retina.
There were three short films, "Summer Storm", "Abridged", and "Breathe" that were all very good. Plus a special short done by a then student George Lucas, as a special treat. TEDxUSC also showed recordings of Juan Enriquez, Elizabeth Gilbert, Aimee Mullens, Natasha Tsakos, and Renny Gleason from the TED 2009 conference. The last two being premiers to the TEDxUSC community.
Afterwards I headed over to the reception with friends where I got to mingle with the TEDxUSC speakers. I played with art installations by Mindshare Labs and also saw a demo by the USC Institute for Creative Technologies.
The event was great. I tried by best to update my friends via my Twitter. It also opened my eyes to some new ideas and things to think about. I really hope they continue this type of program and bring it to other schools and institutions.

LANSING (WKZO) -- The Michigan Department of Community Health reports that fewer parents in the state are making sure that their children get vaccinated against things like measles, whooping cough, and mumps. Angela Minicuci says that it's either because those parents are confused about what's recommended, or they've got some kind of objection to vaccines, which is not a good thing.
More cases of measles and whooping cough have popped up in the state, and health officials are concerns that this trend is going to lead to deaths.
In the last few years, the number of parents in Michigan requesting waivers based on medical or philosophical reasons for required vaccines has gone up. Minicuci says this just means more kids at risk of dying from easily preventable illnesses.

|I see their website hasn't been updated. Are they still in operation? Anybody know what's going on?

|I just got an order from them last week, so yes they are still in operation, with some fantastic heirloom varieties. I particularly wanted Gary O'Sena and JD's Special C-Tex, which have proven excellent producers here in the last miserable 2 years of drought.
I think their listing of "new varieties for 2012" meant new offerings for Spring 2013 actually. They just put them up in late 2012.
- Posted by carolyn137 z4/5 NY (My Page) on Sun, Feb 10, 13 at 15:12
|Their new 2013 varieties have not been put up yet. At another site where Adam posts many have been asking. Since I know Adam and Ellie very well I called and Adam called me back the next day.
Adam works almost full time for the family concrete business and that work is what puts food on the table, etc, and they took a brief vacation in January. Adam said the new ones would be up by the beginning of this past week, but I just checked and they aren't.
The reason I know is b'c every year I send varieties for trial ro several seed companies and last Spring I sent about 20 to Adam, so I too was curious as to which ones he liked and saved enough seeds of to offer for 2013.It does take a long time to upload pictures and do the variety descriptions, that I know.
Those of you who know about Glecklers I think can appreciate the fact that when he revived the business several yearfs ago that was started by his grandfather in the 40's, and then his father George after that, and then closed, that whenI saw Adam had restarted the business I was thrilled b'c it's where I got many of my varieties backin the 80's before Ijoined SSE in 1989.
All to say that when I found out that he'd restarted I spearheaded a project to have other folks send him rare or hard to get varieties so there wouldn 't be that much competition from other sites.
So it's a good one to go to for those kinds of varieties, and there are several others who also have the more hard to get varieties as well, but with little overlap.
Hope that helps.

I very much dislike having to review a recipe poorly, and no more so than when I'm the first reviewer. I wouldn't call it cake – and I wouldn't call it bars either. It wasn't moist as a cake should be, but it wasn't chewy as a bar would be either. I rate these two stars because frankly, after trying these we didn't think they were good enough to keep.
I made this for a "Happy First Day of School" treat. It was easy to make and turned out great! I kept the leftovers for snack bars. I am overall very pleased with the taste. The consistency is somewhere between a cookie and a bar.

Back in May, I offered some general comments on the question of communion for divorced and remarried Catholics — which looms over the Synod on the Family scheduled for this autumn in Rome, and may represent one of the defining controversies of Pope Francis's pontificate — and then wrote what was intended to be the first of two posts addressing Cardinal Walter Kasper's high-profile case for admitting the remarried to the sacrament. That post offered theological and sociological reasons to be skeptical of Kasper's broad suggestion, offered in an interview with the editors of Commonweal, that Catholic marriage generally is in a crisis more severe even than divorce statistics would suggest, in which (he argued) possibly as many as half of all Catholic marriages are actually invalid. The second post, which I promised and then didn't deliver, was supposed to be a detailed response to his specific proposal on communion, which he first presented in remarks to his fellow cardinals in the winter and then elaborated again in the Commonweal interview this spring.
Now I'm going to try to finally deliver that response — but in a slightly different form than I originally envisioned, because there's a new critical assessment of Kasper's argument, written by a group of American Dominicans, that covers the theological and historical issues in much greater detail and with a far deeper grounding in the relevant material than anything I'm likely to write here. Readers interested in the the subject — whether as Catholics or Christians or simply because they want to understand why the adoption of Kasper's proposal could lead to an internal crisis in the life of the planet's largest religious body — should really turn to that assessment first. Readers interested in my own, more non-expert thoughts, meanwhile, can forge ahead. (And readers who think I'm returning to this subject on this particular week because I can't come up with a clear opinion on the latest Obamacare debate should turn to my spokesman, Francis Urquhart, for a definitive response.)

Playa Ostional -
Just north of Playa Nosara and the Boca Nosara lies Playa Ostional, another long and beautiful dark sand beach. While surfers do come here to ride the big, powerful and often hollow waves, Ostional is best known as one of Costa Rica's most important turtle nesting sites.
During an arribada, Olive Ridley turtles arrive by the thousands to come ashore and lay their eggs. An arribada is most likely to occur between July/August and December/January, and usually lasts for about a week. Arribadas cannot be reliably predicted, but most commonly occur during the last quarter phase of the moon or shortly after the new moon.
If you have the chance, an arribada at Ostional is an event not to be missed. Even BBC's Blue Planet TV series has documented this as one of natures most incredible events. In fact, Playa Ostional is recognized for being the beach that helped get the Olive Ridely Turtle off the endangered species list. At one time this species of sea turtle was near extinction, but by designating the area as a National Wildlife Refuge and with the help of the local Ostional community and the Asociacion de Desarrollo de Ostional (ADIO), the Olive Ridely population is now safe and flourshing. For more information, contact the ADIO office in Ostional at (506)2682-0470.

(Updates with economist's comment in third paragraph, zloty, bonds in fifth.)
Feb. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Polish manufacturing grew for the first time in three months in January, dashing forecasts of a contraction, as a weaker zloty buoyed new export orders while pushing input price inflation to the fastest in nine months.
The purchasing managers' index, a gauge of manufacturing, rose to 52.2 from 48.8 in December, HSBC Holdings said in an e- mailed statement summarizing the results of a survey by Markit Economics. The median estimate of 17 economists in a Bloomberg survey forecast an advance to 49.4. A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
"This is a very strong reading - the third-steepest one- month gain in the survey history," Agata Urbanska, an economist at HSBC in London, said in the statement. "Accelerating inflation of input and output prices also supports increasing hawkishness of the Polish central bank."
Poland was the only country in the 27-member European Union to avoid a recession in 2009 and the economy expanded 4.3 percent last year, the Central Statistics Office reported last week in a preliminary estimate. The improved growth outlook and Poland's "stubbornly high" inflation rate of 4.6 percent in December may require a rate increase as early as the first quarter, Andrzej Kazmierczak of the Monetary Policy Council said in an interview on Jan. 26.
The zloty gained after the data release to 4.2180 per euro at 9:30 a.m. in Warsaw, up from 4.23 before the release and 0.4 percent stronger on the day. The 10-year Treasury bond yield fell to 5.576 percent from 5.581 percent yesterday.
Companies reported higher prices for oil-based inputs in particular and the effect of a weaker zloty on import prices in general, HSBC said in its summary of the Markit survey.
"Prices charged for manufactured goods also rose at a faster rate, with the pace of inflation hitting a five-month high," HSBC said in the statement.

SALVADOR, Brazil -- They believed that they would win, even when Belgium went up 2-0 in extra time, even when the rest of the world surely had left them for dead. The never-say-die U.S. World Cup team summoned up energy, kept on scrapping, goalkeeper Tim Howard kept coming up with spectacular saves and teenage substitute Julian Green made quite an entrance with a thrilling 107th-minute goal.
But, just like four years ago, the U.S. team is heading home after a 2-1 extra-time loss. Belgium advanced to the quarterfinals, where it will face Argentina, which also needed extra time to get past Switzerland.
Both of Belgiums goals were scored after regulation. Forward Romelu Lukaku, who was Howards teammate at Everton in England last season, came off the bench and the Americans paid dearly. Lukaku went barreling down the field with the ball, slipped past the U.S. defense and passed the ball to Kevin DeBruyne, who scored in the 93rd minute on his sixth shot of the night. Then, in the 105th minute, Lukaku scored one of his own.
I think he was the X-factor for them, said U.S. defender Omar Gonzalez. Coming on so late, he is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Green, who turned 19 this month, made the game interesting with a goal two minutes later, but it wasnt enough. Clint Dempsey had an excellent shot to score the equalizer in the 114th minute on a beautifully executed free kick by Michael Bradley, who passed it to Chris Wondolowski, who sent it to Dempsey in front of the goal, a tic-tac-toe-like passing sequence the team had been working on in camp.
Wondolowski, who had come on as a substitute, had a chance to score from up close earlier in extra time off a header from Jermaine Jones, but his shot sailed high.
Games like this are so hard to digest right away, midfielder Michael Bradley said. You put so much into them physically and emotionally. Theres disappointment. We felt like they were there for the taking. This was a game we could win. You get to this point in the tournament and you know that margin of going on and going home is so small, and you need to be able to make a play at the right time. Unfortunately for us, at the end of 120 minutes, they made one more play than we did.
Belgium dominated much of the game, and had far more scoring chances, taking 27 shots to nine for the United States. The Belgians had 19 corner kicks, and the U.S. team took four. Time and time again, Howard punched, swatted, kicked, grabbed and pounced on the ball. Sixteen saves in all, the most by any World Cup goalkeeper since 1966. Howard kept the American hopes alive and was voted Man of the Match, a huge compliment considering his team lost the game.
We played our hearts out ... had a valiant performance, Howard said. Belgium was a good team, we got beat by a good team, hats off to them, Howard said. They created a lot of chances. Theyre top-quality players.
Gonzalez said that despite the loss, he is proud of how his team battled: It is something that is ingrained in the American players that we will never give up, we will never stop fighting. I really hope the fans across the world saw that in us today; that we never stopped fighting and we almost brought it back.
That the U.S. players went toe to toe with the Belgians for so long was reason enough for American fans to feel proud, considering their résumés.
Unlike the American team, the Belgian squad is made up almost entirely of players from Europes top leagues. Twelve of the 23 Belgians play in the English Premier League. Consider that Belgium captain Vincent Kompany makes $17.4 million from Manchester City, which is right around the collective salary of the entire U.S. starting lineup. By comparison, U.S. defender Matt Besler makes $200,000 for Sporting Kansas City, and DeAndre Yedlin, who went in to replace injured Fabian Johnson, makes $92,000 for the Seattle Sounders.
Asked what the U.S. team proved in Tuesdays game, Bradley replied: This team showed once again, that [pause] it has [guts]. Even in a difficult group. Even when a lot of people werent ready to give us much of a chance to get out. Even on a day like [Tuesday], when youre playing one of the best teams in Europe, even at the end when youre down 2-0, and it would have been easy to pack it in.
We continued to fight, continued to have a group of guys who leave everything they have on the field. And just because you do that doesnt guarantee anything. Doesnt mean youre going to win, but that is a special quality and we have that and well continue to make sure its such a big part of who we are.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann said he took solace in knowing his team showed it belonged with some of the worlds most respected squads.
We now know that we can play eye-to-eye with the big nations, he said. The teams that we faced here are favorites to win the World Cup, and weve done tremendously well against them.
That said, U.S. defender Matt Besler said this loss will haunt him for a while.
Its bittersweet, he said. Were going to hold our heads high and hold our chest out because we are proud of what we did. We are proud of how we fought and left everything on the field, but we feel like we could be playing in the quarterfinals. So, its going to be on my mind.

Brimstone (edition 2010)

Work details
Brimstone by Robert B. Parker
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Two Texas lawmen, search for the woman who has won one of their hearts.
The lawmen are reminiscent of Woodrow Call and Gus McCrae of "Lonesome Dove," as they eventually find the woman working as a whore in a run down bar in southern Texas.
The men rescue the woman and go to Brimstone where they learn that the sheriff needs help. The town is growing with the railroad and cattle business and the sheriff has a number of towns to look after.
He appoints Virgil and Everett deputies and they observe the conflict between a major bar owner in the town and a preacher who preaches militant Christianity.
It's interesting to watch as a confrontation develops.
I enjoyed the story and felt that the characters were realistically portrayed.
As one who has read quite a number of Parker's novels, I've found myself enjoying them less with each new one. With this perfunctory effort, it's clear that Parker's best work was behind him. Brimstone has no character development, description, or plot twists, or anything like humor or the snappy dialogue Parker fans have come to enjoy. The story line is bare bones and predictable and populated with caricatures. What's more, the text is written at a grade school level; notwithstanding the occasional three syllable word thrown in to show Virgil Cole's struggles with the language (a gag that's lost its charm), the "paragraphs" average one or a few simple short sentences. Brief and sparse, this is just Parker going through the motions. oh well.
Although they don't mention their hats much, both Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch qualify to wear white ones. In this outing, they are mostly in the business of saving not-so-fair maidens from fates worse than death, keeping the peace in the saloon town of Brimstone, and trying to process the first situation either of them can recall in which neither of them quite knows what Virgil is going to do. Quintessential Parker.
What a great read! This was an actual 'you can't put it down' book as I polished it off in less than a day. Great follow-up to Appaloosa and I'm thinking there will be another. At least I hope so; fine characters, dialogue, etc. Yes, it's an edgy, semi-predictable Western in the flavor of Lonesome Dove, but that can't be that bad can it?
Brimstone is the third in a series of western novels by Robert B. Parker. Widely known as the creator of Spenser, Boston Detective, Parker has created two new vivid characters in shootists Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch. In this Parker tale, the Western convention of the wealthy man taking over a town piece by piece, Cole and Hitch arrive on the trail of Cole's lover, Allie, and become deputy sheriff's in the town of Brimstone where muscular Christianity does battle with saloon sin as a backdrop to the novel. I'd give it an A for dialog and a C+ for plot.

I wish I could tell you that good lamb and a frequent craving for the same was my only vice when it came to food, but unfortunately I like it all, the good, the rich, the simple, the well made, the sweet, the tart and tangy. I love food, cooking and eating food, writing about what I cook and writing about where I eat, but then again, I could think of many other bad habits and indulgences, what do you say?
Anyhow, Ravagh Persian is a few blocks away from work, I actually discovered it by chance when I went camera equipment shopping. Yes the main attraction and challenge of my new book project is that I get to take some pictures and I get a camera in exchange, not a bad deal right? Willoughby's is not too far from my haunts and the owner was quite excited when I told him I had a food blog, of course as they say that and $2.25 gets you on the NYC subway.
So, I recently went back with my friend Ken, he had recently experienced some health issues and this was a lunch to comfort, stick to the ribs and generally feel good. While the restaurant is small, it has a certain understated elegance, in fact as I told Ken, I felt rather tacky taking pictures. But then again I went ahead and took pictures. This was my third time here in fact twice with Ken and I have to tell you their food is just amazing!!! And yes, I have tried three lamb dishes on different occasions the kebabs, a lamb stew with eggplants and on this occasion a lamb shank stew, the tender meat is cooked to soft perfection and is complete with flavor in every bite.
Their entree are accompanied by a choice of lentil soup or salad both heavenly. We have tried their vegetable kebabs and on this occasion Ken tried the salmon kebabs all wonderful, flavorful and cooked to perfection. The best part of this very elegant and civilized meal is that the price is very right. You feel like you have had a really royal experience for less that $15 per person.

Cardigan Castle

|Site history
Cardigan Castle is a castle located in Cardigan, Ceredigion, Wales.
The first motte-and-bailey castle (ca.1093) was built a mile away from the present site, probably about the time of the founding of the town by Roger de Montgomery, a Norman baron.
The forerunner of the present castle was built by Gilbert Fitz Richard Lord of Clare after the former was destroyed. The castle was handed down to Gilbert's son, Gilbert de Clare, 1st Earl of Pembroke in 1136. The same year, Owain Gwynedd led the defeat of the Norman rulers in the town of Cardigan at the Battle of Crug Mawr. The town was taken and burnt, though the castle was successfully defended by Normans commanded by Robert fitz Martin.
The castle was later recaptured by the Normans, and was held for Earl Roger of Hertford. In 1166 it was captured by Rhys ap Gruffydd, who rebuilt it in stone in 1171. In 1176 the first ever Eisteddfod was held at the castle. On Rhys's death in 1197 his sons, Maelgwn and Gruffydd, disputed their inheritance resulting in Maelgwn surrendering Gruffydd to the Normans and selling the castle to King John. The castle was later held for William Marshall.
Llywelyn the Great captured it in 1215 and at the parliament held at Aberdovey in 1216 made it over to the sons of Gruffydd ap Rhys of Deheubarth, but in 1223 William Marshall the Younger recaptured it. In 1231 the castle was again captured for Llywelyn by Rhys Gryg and his allies. Llywelyn held it until his death in 1240. On Llywelyn's death it fell back into Norman hands, and in 1244 Earl Gilbert of Pembroke rebuilt it with town walls for added protection. It is the remains of this building that still stands overlooking the river.
It was badly damaged during the English Civil War in Wales and until the 18th century it was only used as a prison. At the beginning of the 19th century a residence, Castle Green House, was built inside the walls incorporating the North Tower. This fell into disrepair in the 1940s and was allowed to decay further by the owner to the extent that the outer walls needed supporting.
The castle was purchased by Ceredigion County Council in April 2003 and it is being repaired as part of the regeneration of Cardigan. In 2004 Castle Green House appeared on the BBC's second series of Restoration, presented by Griff Rhys Jones.[1]
Renovation work has continued for some years since its purchase by the Council, and when completed the castle will be reopened to the public, hopefully in 2014.[2] It is anticipated that there will be luxury accommodation for hire, a heritage centre with education facilities, a restaurant, an events an open-air concert area, and rooms for hire for classes.[3]

I just thoght that by making the mods to a servo for continuous rotation I would get a DC motor.
How did you modified the servo exactly?
Servos have IC circuit & a pot inside, while DC motor don't. Did you remove the pot & the circuit (PCB)? As far as I know, you still need motor driver (e.g L293D) to controlling direction & speed of a DC motor.
Even if you modified your servo for continuous rotation like usually people do (e.g : http://letsmakerobots.com/node/4873) , not all kind servos are easily modified.
Well, like I asked before, how did you modified the servo exactly?

Since its introduction for the last model year, Outback has garnered many awards based on delivering a total package: outstanding fuel economy, innovative technology, convenience features specifically designed for traditional Outback owners, and a comfortable and spacious interior.
Mechanical features and systems enable the Outback 2.5i to reach an EPA-rated 29 miles per gallon highway4 (equipped with optional Lineartronic CVT [Continuously Variable Transmission] with 6-speed manual mode). Other mechanicals that enable traditional Outback capabilities include the standard 6-speed manual transmission for the 2.5i, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, and SUBARU BOXER engines. The top-of-the line Outback 3.6R has a 5-speed adaptive electronic automatic transmission with manual mode paddle shifters.
Convenience features include the standard roof rails with integrated cross bars. With a capacity of up to 150 pounds, the cross bars stow along the rails when not in use, thereby reducing wind noise. Most Subaru accessories from previous years fit these cross bars.
The 60/40-split flat-folding rear seatback and myriad of storage compartments and holders also improve the vehicle's convenience. Storage includes the provision for the cargo area's retractable cover to be stashed under the cargo floor when not in use.
Expanded interior space from the previous model adds to occupant comfort. The host of comfort features include reclining rear seatback, enhanced electronics such as Bluetooth®5 wireless phone and audio capability, and improved audio systems.

Made them as an appetizer on Christmas and everyone loved them (wish I had made more!)
Lobster-Tarragon Toasts
Lobster makes a luxurious addition to this Christmas feast. Since this dish is an hors d'oeuvre, you only need a small amount of expensive lobster to serve a group. Greek-style yogurt has a pleasant thickness that works for this recipe. Make the toasts and lobster mixture up to several hours ahead; store the toasts in an airtight bag at room temperature, and refrigerate the lobster.

Me So Corny
With Passover in full swing, there's always the danger of overdosing on Matzo. And while you do have to abandon all those dishes made with corn and corn syrup for a few more days, if you live in certain Metropolitan areas with a large Jewish population, you won't have to give up your Coca Cola.
For the few weeks surrounding Passover, Coke makes a version of their drink with real sugar rather than corn syrup. According to Jewish law, the stuff's leagal. Drink up!

ATLANTA (AP) - State officials say they plan to move forward with major transportation projects despite the threat of a loss in federal transportation funding, by using $81.5 million in accrued state motor fuel funds and the sale of $130 million in previously authorized bonds.
A spokesman for Gov. Nathan Deal said Thursday the funding plan will allow the state to proceed with reconstructing the Interstate 285/Georgia 400 interchange in metro Atlanta, among the most congested in the country. Deal spokesman Brian Robinson says the board of the Department of Transportation approved the funding plan at a Thursday meeting in Bainbridge.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx has said the federal Highway Trust Fund is expected to run dry by late August and that transportation aid to states would be delayed without congressional action.

The brunette beauty, who made a comeback in Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' this year, showcased a number of spectacular outfits on the red carpet to pre-empt the film's release.
She stunned in pieces from Peter Pilotto, Miu Miu, Giles and Louis Vuitton, and made a big impact on fashion critics in a pastel pink and green Miu Miu gown at the Vanity Fair Oscar party.
'Suit & Tie' hitmaker Justin followed in second place. The singer always looks sexy yet smart and wowed in a Tom Ford tux at the 55th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles.
The Duchess of Cambridge landed the third spot on the list, with the magazine praising her for choosing British labels like Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, Issa and Alice Temperley.
Duchess Catherine - previously known as Kate Middleton - looked gorgeous at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in June in a pink Alexander McQueen coat and Jane Corbett hat.
New additions to this year's list include Rolling Stones rocker Keith Richards, 'Halo' hitmaker Beyoncé Knowles and burlesque dancer Dita von Teese.

One cause of the tragedy in Connecticut … Obama administration cut funding for school security
In the aftermath of the murder of 20 young children and 6 adults at the school in Connecticut the major media and politicians of a liberal mind-set are focused again on more gun-control. Tragedies like this are exploited time and again by people like Barack Obama and those always looking for ways to shove their agenda of more and more control over law abiding Americans. In stead of focusing on the root of the matter with this nation they miss the mark willingly. These kinds of events create an emotional willingness in the people to even give up Constitutional rights in order to prevent this from happening again. I've had a couple of people make comments on my last couple of posts saying I've missed the mark in pointing out the faux outrage of Barack Obama and how the story is continually changing. Those commenters, though well meaning have missed the point and fall into the category of sheep being lead to the slaughter. They obviously make decisions based on their emotions and not on facts and consequences.
The cause of the tragedy in Connecticut is not access to firearms or the freedom to "keep and bear" arms in America. And that goes for weapons of high-power and high capacity. Without getting into a long drawn out break down of the 2nd amendment, I'll simply say it has nothing to do with target shooting and hunting. Yet when a tragedy such as the shooting in Connecticut happens and liberal politicians cry for more and more gun control, they always tell everyone to relax, everyone will still get to target shoot and hunt. But rest assured they have eventual complete firearm ban and confiscation in mind. If anyone doubts this just ask the good folks in Australia. And if anyone thinks more gun control and out right banning of firearms will make American society safer … check with the people in which only the government has guns. When the supposed leaders of this nation exhibit a blatant disregard for the law … what can we expect from the citizenry?
Obama and company are in full firearm control mode using phony outrage and playing on the emotions of the public to accomplish their agenda. But when we take a close look at why this stuff happens most of it points right back to those in charge .. ie … the Obama regime. Digging somewhat deeper we find the Obama administration just happened to cut funding for school security programs. The following is an article I found explaining how the Obama administration has a direct involvement in the tragedy in Connecticut, but you won't see it in any major media.
Obama administration, Congress quietly let school security funds lapse
Beneath the expressions of grief, sorrow and disbelief over the Connecticut school massacre lies an uneasy truth in Washington: over the last few years the Obama administration and Congress quietly let federal funding for several key school security programs lapse in the name of budget savings.
Government officials told the Washington Guardian on Friday night that two Justice Department programs that had provided more than $200 million to schools for training, security equipment and police resources over the last decade weren't renewed in 2011 and 2012, and that a separate program that provided $800 million to put police officers inside the schools was ended a few years earlier.
Meanwhile, the administration eliminated funding in 2011-12 for a separate Education Department program that gave money to schools to prepare for mass tragedies, the officials said.
A nationally recognized school security expert said those funds had been critical for years in helping schools continue to enhance protections against growing threats of violence. But they simply dried up with little notice as the Columbine and Virginia Tech school shooting tragedies faded from memory and many Americans and political leaders had their attentions diverted to elections, a weak economy and overseas dramas.
"I was baffled to see funds and programs cut in these areas," said Kenneth Trump, the president of the National School Safety and Security Services firm that helps school districts and policymakers improve protections for teachers and students. "Our political and policy leaders need to walk the walk, not just talk the talk about being concerned about school safety.
"We have roller coaster public awareness, public policy, and public funding when it comes to school safety. The question isn't whether school safety is a priority today and tomorrow," Trump added. "The question is whether it will be a priority years down the road when there isn't a crisis in the headlines."
Leaders in both parties in Washington on Friday expressed remorse and disbelief in the tragedy in the tiny suburban Connecticut town of Newtown, where a single 20-year-old gunman walked into the school where his mother taught and killed 20 children and six others before turning the gun on himself.
"Our hearts are broken today," President Barack Obama said, wiping a tear from his eyes as he reacted to the tragedy. "As a country we have been through this too many times.
"These neighborhoods are our neighborhoods, and these children are our children. And we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics," the president added.
But last year, his administration took a less muted tone as it submitted its 2012 Education Department budget to Congress that eliminated the Readiness and Emergency Management for Schools (REMS) funding, which for years provided between $20 million and $30 million in annual grants to help schools create emergency and crisis preparation and prevention plans for tragedies just like the one that unfolded Friday.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~So the next time you see Barack Obama wipe away a non-existent tear and you hear the fake outrage of liberal politicians demanding more gun control … know these people are as much at fault as the shooter. Liberal politicians create the climate for tragedies like in Connecticut and then express outrage after it happens. A little off subject but the same modus operandi of the Congress … those in government create a "fiscal cliff" … then use that to justify more and more taxes and spending. Faux outrage when they are solely responsible … looking to punish others for their actions. It's all about control folks. This stuff … even tragedies … are all by design.
HERE is a great piece debunking all of the leftist arguments for more gun control.

The History of Tattooing
The skin is permanently decorated with symbols or pictures a common practice worldwide. People of all ages and all continents be tattooed. Yet we could be for religious, initiating, ornamental or therapeutic tattoos. The tattoo history begins in the Neolithic period in Eurasia. "Iceman" of the glacier ice preserved hunters from around 3300 BC, 57 tattoos wore on his body: a cross on the inside of the left knee, six 15 cm long, straight lines in the kidney area, and many small, parallel lines in the lumbar, leg and joint area. This is most likely therapeutic tattoos for the treatment of arthritis.
The oldest tradition of tattooing is the Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan. It is believed that tattoos are more than 10,000 years of culture. In the Tarim Basin in western China recently, the mummies of several warriors were discovered in the European type, bearing the tattoos, and more than 2000 years old. In the pre-Christian Germanic and Celtic cultures and in other northern European tribes were common tattoos, it is certainly told in many traditional reports. Julius Caesar described the tattooed warriors of the Gauls in detail in the fifth book of the Gallic wars. The Pictures were known for their tattooed and covered with ornamental scars skin. They used mainly blue tones, which they obtained from Woad, and copper. And some Scandinavian nations were tattooed, like the Arab diplomat, Ahmad bin Fadlan described after a meeting with them in the 10th century AD.
Even with some religious groups in the Mediterranean countries in ancient times tattoos were common. In general, there were in ancient Greece but the slaves who were tattooed.
