If you've been reading my blog for any length of time, you know I have this, um, problem, with buying random "off cuts" of meat, and then figuring out how to cook it. This time it was lambs' tongues.
I braised them with bay leaf, garlic, onion and peppercorns until tender. Then I peeled them. This was definitely on my top ten list of weird things I've done in the kitchen that I don't want to do again. Then chop, mix with chile sauce, and make a taco.
My favorite? No. But I'm glad I tried it.

Managing Receivables: A Key To Improving Cash Flow
Managing cash is critical to the success of any business. Whether you are providing a good or a service, it is important to make sure cash flow allows for day-to-day operations and growth.
As a business owner, you never want to find yourself in a position where you can't meet critical payments for payroll, taxes and key vendors ― especially if money is tied up in outstanding invoices that the company is awaiting payment on. The good news is managing cash can be easy; and it all begins with managing receivables.
Set credit limits
A major part of managing receivables has to do with setting credit limits. Before selling goods or services to a new customer, do your homework. This includes ordering credit reports, checking credit references and asking others that may have experience with the potential customer. You may want to consider selling on C.O.D. until you have established some payment history before extending terms. This will help ensure that your business is not accruing unpaid debt from a company that has no intention of making a payment.
Create credit policy
Every business should have a written credit policy in place. This will help make sure that collections are done in a timely, consistent and organized manner. It also ensures that employees are following a set standard while eliminating surprises and keeping management in the loop.
Stay connected
Staying in contact with customers is critical. Initiate calls to ensure the customer has received the product or service; call if the invoice becomes past due, and execute a follow-up call for payment status. Don't be afraid to request payment if the invoice starts to stretch.
Should the customer fail to pay after these attempts, enlist the help of an attorney to demand payment. Staying in contact with the customer and maintaining the relationship can actually decrease the amount of time it takes for an invoice to be paid. Ultimately, building a rapport and keeping the lines of communication open will significantly increase cash flow.
Offer cash discounts
Offer clients a discount if they pay early. This creates a win-win situation for both parties because the customer saves money and you get cash faster. The discount amount should be well thought out. Too high of a discount will cause a serious erosion of margin and too low may not encourage a client to pay in advance.
Provide choices
Although this may seem obvious, it is important to make payment as easy as possible for customers. Limiting the ways that they are able to pay can cause customers to put it off for as long as possible. Consider allowing customers the option of paying with a credit card or online with an electronic payment, instead of by check.
Send the bill
Once the product is delivered or the service is provided, invoice immediately. The sooner you bill, the sooner you can get paid. It is also important to make sure all information to support the invoice is completely filed in case the client has a dispute. This reduces the opportunity for the customer to hold up payment and provides a greater chance of receiving payment as soon as possible.
While receivables are one way for business owners to increase cash flow, others things to consider include equipment and inventory control, operating procedures, vendor relationships and operating expenses. By taking a look at receivables first and incorporating the recommended practices into your accounting operations, your cash flow situation can quickly go from negative to positive.

War of the Buttons | 1995
Jump to
Blow Up Photographers
Cawley & Company
Corbett & Keene, Ltd.
Cork County Council
In a quiet corner of South West Ireland lies a wide stretch of tidal water. On opposite sides of the water nestle the villages of Ballydowse and Carrickdowse: sleepy places which wake from the sound of the fishermen at their nets, the swish of wash fluttering in the breeze, and reassuringly, unmistakably, to the crescendo of children on their way to school. Large and small, tough and timid, buttoned up from head to toe, they tumble from their homes into the streets. But all is not quite as it seems. For an undeclared war exists between the Carricks and the Ballys and, though many of the townsfolk don't know it yet, battle lines have already been drawn. On one side stands the leader of the Ballys, Fergus, and his crew of loyal followers. Set against them is the head of the Carricks, Geronimo, and his gang. In the utterly serious world of childhood, a rivalry flourishes that will send ripples through two communities before it is over.

HESPERIA -- A probationer on community supervision under the state Prison Realignment Program who was wanted in connection with a Bakersfield identity-theft case was arrested Thursday morning after a three-hour standoff, San Bernardino County probation officials said.
Ishmael Serrano, 33, who was renting a room in a home in the 5800 block of Telephone Canyon Road, surrendered shortly after SWAT members arrived around 11 a.m., authorities said.
Forty pounds of marijuana and five weapons were found in the home, said Probation Department spokesman Chris Condon.
"Hesperia deputies along with the gang team were assisting probation officers in serving an arrest warrant on Serrano this morning," sheriff's spokeswoman Jodi Miller said Thursday.
Serrano is suspected of being part of a credit/debit card-skimming ring in Bakersfield, said Condon.
Late last month, Bakersfield authorities spotted Serrano in driving a vehicle with two others inside and tried to stop him, Condon said. But Serrano led authorities on a short pursuit before bailing out of the vehicle and running off, eluding capture, authorities said.
Detectives interviewed the two remaining occupants of the vehicle and learned Serrano had been staying at the Hesperia home, authorities said.
"They actually relayed to investigators Serrano said he wasn't going back to jail and would shoot it out," Condon said.
Thursday around 7:45 a.m., sheriff's deputies, probation officers and members of the SMASH Gang Team arrived at the home.
"He must've heard or knew they were coming because he locked himself into his room," Condon said.
Investigators ordered Serrano outside, but Serrano reportedly yelled back he wasn't coming out and was armed with a rifle.
As SWAT members were assembling outside the home, Serrano surrendered.
Serrano had been armed with a Ruger Mini-14 semi-automatic rifle that had been reported stolen from Arizona's Maricopa County, authorities said.
Four other firearms reportedly were found in the bedroom of the homeowner. It was unclear if they had been legally obtained or not.
"Right now we're not sure what name (Serrano) gave to the homeowner when he rented the room," Condon said.
The homeowner was taken into custody and later released.
Serrano had previously been on probation in January 2010 for a drug offense, said Condon. He violated the terms of his probation and was sent to prison, according to records.
He was set to be released in May and under Assembly Bill 109, California's Prison Realignment Plan, Serrano qualified to be placed on post-release community supervision instead of parole, Condon said.
He followed his terms initially, Condon said.
During a compliance check at his last listed address, a family member said he had not seen Serrano for some time. Serrano popped back on the radar in Bakersfield on Dec. 27, Condon said.

New Study Highlights Importance of Job Training for Low-Wage Workers and Need for Better Awareness of Training Programs
Mar 28, 2013
By Neil Ridley and Patrick Reimherr
A new study issued by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs, Paths to Opportunity: Perspectives from Lower-Wage Workers and Their Employers, provides a snapshot of worker and employer perspectives on the economic outlook, working conditions, and opportunities for advancement in lower-wage occupations (defined as jobs paying $35,000 or less per year). With recent analyses showing disproportionate growth in lower-wage jobs since the end of the recession, it is essential to understand the dynamics of low-wage work in order to rebuild paths to middle-class jobs.
Major findings from the report include:
- Most employers of lower-wage workers say that while these workers do acquire the needed skills over time, they are not prepared when they are first hired. While a large majority of employers believe that training is critical for career advancement, low-wage workers are more skeptical about the value of education and training.
- Compared to all workers, lower-wage workers are far less likely to be satisfied in their job or to feel valued for the work they do. Lower-wage workers perceive few opportunities for advancement and many have not yet advanced in their current jobs.
- Lower-wage workers are not aware of and are not taking advantage of government-sponsored benefits and training programs. Similarly, only a small minority of employers are participating in public-private partnerships and taking advantage of other government-funded training opportunities partly because they are not aware of them.
The findings suggest that policymakers should explore ways to increase opportunities for skill development and low-wage workers' awareness of those benefits and opportunities. As Congress considers reauthorization of education and training programs, such as those in the Workforce Investment Act, it is important to ensure that low-wage workers have better access to opportunities for training and career advancement.

STANWOOD — At 9 a.m. sharp, the blinds rolled up at the Stanwood Police Department.
The remodeled bank building downtown announces its tenant in two ways: old-school lettering on the windows and a wooden welcome sign outside, shaped like a goose.
Rick Hawkins has been police chief here for about a year. He's been working to build community partnerships and revamp Business Watch and Neighborhood Watch programs.
"There's not a lot of crime here," Hawkins said. "It's a good place to live, work, play and shop."
As Hawkins drove around the city one morning last month, he saw community policing in progress — and places where more work could be done.
On one block, the chief pointed out a bank that's added a security guard outside. In one neighborhood, somebody's been stealing power tools. In another, city officials have been seeking grant funding to build a sidewalk to improve safety for kids walking to school.
Stanwood, a city of 6,200 in north Snohomish County, contracts with the sheriff's office for police services.
Deputies in blue Stanwood uniforms routinely assist city parks staff with closing and opening gates, Hawkins said. They sometimes check on street lights and report burned-out bulbs.
"We're out here. We might as well do it while we're out on patrol," he said.
Still, Stanwood has seen a few large-scale police incidents in past years, including a shooting at an assisted living home last week.
In March, a 3-year-old Camano Island boy fatally shot his sister with their father's handgun in the family's van, which was parked near City Hall. The shooting brought a lot of attention, in part because the girl's father is a Marysville police officer. The court case just recently wrapped up. The Marysville internal investigation is ongoing.
Then, in September, the city's uptown shopping center was shut down for hours one morning after a deputy shot and wounded a suspected serial bank robber. The suspect survived. His court case is ongoing. At least two other serial bank robbers have targeted Stanwood in recent years.
Early in 2012, Stanwood Mayor Dianne White asked Hawkins to develop a robbery prevention program, she said. She's a pharmacist, and she knew pharmacies and banks often are targeted for holdups.
Stanwood police met with bank employees in town in the spring, Hawkins said. The FBI joined them and shared tips.
"We were building that open communication," he said. "Part of this is just listening."
In the fall, someone robbed a fast-food sandwich shop in town. Police since have made an arrest.
The incident alarmed Leslie Tripp, the State Farm agent for Stanwood and Camano Island. She and Hawkins serve together on the board of Stanwood's Chamber of Commerce.
Soon after the restaurant robbery, she ran into Hawkins at a grocery store in town. She asked the chief to find a way to educate local business owners about crime prevention.
About 25 people attended the first Business Watch meeting in November, Hawkins said. They shared safety concerns and talked about security issues.
The next Business Watch meeting is planned sometime before spring, Tripp said.
Meanwhile, Stanwood police are using social media to keep people informed. The department's Facebook page has more than 1,380 followers, the most for any police page in the county.
The day the bank robber was shot, phone calls flooded City Hall and the police station, Hawkins said. There wasn't a lot city staff could say.
They've since joined Nixle, an online program where people can sign up to receive free text and email emergency alerts. Stanwood is trying to keep the alerts limited to major incidents, Hawkins said. An alert went out soon after last week's shooting, letting people know no children had been hurt.
Hawkins' drive through town last month took him through Copper Station, a neighborhood on the north end of Stanwood where about 100 homes are being built.
One of the first new Neighborhood Watch meetings was held there in early January, he said. About 40 people attended.
Police talked to them about when and how to report potential crimes.
About 3 the next morning, someone who had attended the meeting called 911, Hawkins said. There was a suspicious car in her neighborhood.
The "suspicious" activity turned out to be a deputy on patrol, Hawkins said. But the caller was doing what she was supposed to — keeping a lookout.
Development at Copper Station dried up during the economic downturn a few years ago, Hawkins said. Last month, construction was bustling again, with workers putting up housing frames and digging foundations.
"This is good," Hawkins said. "This is good stuff."

'"You can't get frustrated. The lockout could get to you, knowing you had a good end to last year and had a good chance to start with Buffalo," Foligno said. "I had a lot of support from the coaching staff down there and the coaches from the Sabres always being down there watching. You always felt you were being scouted so it helped you to keep working hard and not be complacent."'

Nicole Richie's House of Harlow 1960 Designed a Stylish Necklace for Charity
The perfect Mother's Day gift from Nicole Richie is just a click away. And you'll be helping kids in need with every purchase!
-Diana Denza
With Mother's Day merely a month away, it's time to treat the special ladies in your life (or maybe yourself!) to a very special gift. House of Harlow 1960's creative director, Nicole Richie, has unveiled a necklace that would charm any gal out there.
Inspired by the ancient pyramids, this piece will add a dose of flair to any spring ensemble. The necklace's cool hue was inspired by "hope and growth." Which makes perfect sense, since House of Harlow 1960 will donate 20 percent of the proceeds to Baby2Baby.
Read Award Winning Designer Carrie Parry Loves Using Real Women as Models
Baby2Baby is a Los Angeles-based charity that gives needy kids up to 12 years old vital gear and clothing. It aids more than 50,000 local families annually.
"We take the basic necessities for granted, but for many families, it's a serious struggle," Richie stated in a press release. "This is one way to ease the financial burden, and help new babies have a good start in life."
This chic chain is available exclusively on RevolveClothing.com and Glamhouse.com for $75. Finding your fashion forward mom the perfect present has never been easier!

This section tells you about ways to use the courts to protect yourself and your family from abuse and harassment. It also gives you information on resources to make sure you and your family stay safe. And it gives you links to help you identify if you or someone you care about is in an abusive relationship and get help.
Keep in mind that this section mainly gives you information on the laws about abuse and harassment. And it tells you about going to court to protect yourself. It does not deal in depth with abuse, domestic violence, and harassment from the point of view of the psychological and emotional impact they have on you. But that information is VERY important in being able to protect yourself and in leaving an abusive relationship. So visit the links in Getting Help to get more information on those issues and resources for help.

Discussion in 'Draft Zone' started by NeonDeion21, Jan 12, 2013.
LB is not as pressing as need as everything else we have.
After seeing him vs Bama no way I want him + LB is not our biggest need.
I like a rookie OLB to replace Albright who should be depth and not a starter. We need a DT much much more though. I don't like Ratliff at the nose anymore.
No thanks! Albright showed me he can play some football, I want to see more.
Considering the fact that neither Lee or Carter has stayed healthy, Albright and Wilbur are serious question marks, and Connor does not have anywhere close the the athletic ability required in a cover 2 scheme, yes it is.
Say Lee gets hurt.
That probably leaves us with Wilbur - Carter - Albright at LB.
I would be horribly uncomfortable with that.
Barkley will drop that fall and will probably drop out of the first round. That being said, I would not draft him in the first or second. I don't think Dallas should draft him at all. He is not an NFL talent in my opinion.
So we should draft a backup "incase Lee gets hurt" instead of drafting starters?
Again, LB is not even CLOSE to being a need on this team right now. Not a need that requires a first round pick.
You draft a guy who is a capable starter, so that the position becomes one of the elite groups in the entire league and when one guy gets hurt, it remains a strength.
If we're going LB round 1, Ogletree is the guy you want. His speed and athleticism would fit much better in a Kiffin system than Te'o.
You must be a ND fan? I'm a ND fan and I love Teo, but LB is nowhere NEAR the need that OL, DL, and safety are.
We have some young LB's on the roster. You have to give them a shot to earn that job or else drafting anyone outside the 1st round is a waste of freaking time.
OL/DL or Safety
xwalker, what is your opinion on this kid? i always like reading your analysis.
I'm not an ND fan, and I'd rather have OGletree than Te'o...
I don't like the young LBs on the roster. I don't like Albright seeing significant time, and I don't think that Wilbur showed anything at all this season. Considering the fact that its not that difficult to find solid players at safety, OL, and DL in rounds 2-4, why not grab a playmaker at LB, a spot where we don't have 3 quality starters at right now?
I'm not saying that LB is necessarily a greater need than OL/DL/S, but if a guy slips to 18, you can make that pick and still get those other guys later.
LB isn't a position of need for us. We need true DE'S, a safety(possibly 2) and O linemen not more linebackers.
Bryan Broaddus @BryanBroaddus
"@Tyson_McKyle: @BryanBroaddus Cowboys Have Any Interest In Manti Te'o?" Didn't get a great vibe there.
Expand Reply Retweet Favorite
You know league scouts? LOL i doubt Te'o would get past the top 10 picks
I doubt he falls that far.
I hate the 4-3 but Teo, Lee, Carter would make me love it.
That "not very dynamic player" only had more picks than our D this year.
Assuming with first 3 picks, we addressed Guard, Safety, DL...would ya??
Imagine....Will Carter......Mike Lee.....Sam Te'o
Uh yea, but there's no way he falls that far.

Canady Signs Manufacturing, Distribution Contract for Innovative Surgical Device:
Thanks for posting this information, Cherrlye. It is very interesting to see how his career has progressed.
Here is recent news coverage:
Has anyone heard if the two people from this site had their surgeries this week?
I posted a link under the "Experiences" section today. The link is to the Johns Hopkins forum where some people have posted info. about the outcome of recent surgeries that Dr. Canady performed.
My mother is one of Dr. Canady's patients and is so far a whopping success story. All of her tumor was removed and while she is fighting an infection she is home at our rented apt. in Pitt resting comfortably. She still faces chemo and she decided to fight this hideous cancer instead of going quietly in 6 months. Dr. Canady is the most passionate and caring doctor my family has ever met. Although mom is out of the hospital, he still calls daily to check on her. Yes, he can't save everyone; I think his fault is that he tries to help them all; some are just too sick.
Melody..... I am happy to hear of your Mom's successful surgery and I hope her infection clears up quickly as possible. Glad to hear she wants to fight this disease as well. I pray for continuing and positive progression.
God Bless you and Your Mom,
Jeff G.

Dr. Jennifer Shu and her team of pediatricians answer your health questions.
Will it compromise my 6 month old's nutrition if I delay fruits from his diet to prevent him from getting a sweet tooth?
By: Howard J. Bennett, MD, FAAP
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends beginning solid foods at about 6 months of age. Traditionally, parents are encouraged to start babies on iron-fortified rice cereal mixed with breast milk or formula. The rationale for this is that it takes a week or so for the baby to learn how to eat from a spoon, and there are fewer wastes if you use cereal from a box rather than food from a jar. However, there is no scientific evidence that says a baby has to start with infant cereal. It is equally acceptable to start the baby on vegetables or fruits. Regardless, you should wait two or three days before introducing each new food so you can make sure the baby is not having a negative reaction to the one just started. If you begin two new foods at the same time, it is difficult to determine which one is causing the problem.
Some parents believe vegetables should be offered to babies before fruits. The rationale for this is a concern that the baby might develop a "sweet tooth" and reject vegetables if he eats fruits first. Parents probably assume this is true because toddlers and young children often prefer fruits over vegetables. However, there is no evidence to support this approach with infants. From a nutritional perspective, it is important to give infants and children a well-balance diet. Fruits and vegetables both contain essential nutrients for children.

About Willamette Valley(will-AAM-it)
Named for the river that runs through the valley from Portland to Eugene, Willamette Valley is home to some of the best Pinot Noir vineyards in the Northwest. While along the same north/south line as Seattle, the Willamette Valley is protected from Pacific rains by the Coast Range on the western border and the Cascade Ranges to the east. Though sunshine is typically plentiful, rainfall can occasionally be tricky, and the wines here vary vintage to vintage. Within the Willamette Valley is a number of sub-regions, including McMinnville, Dundee and Yamhill.
Notable FactsThe valley is known for its Pinots – Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. With a climate similar to Burgundy – in rainfall, sunlight hours and other climate factors – Pinot Noir has flourished here. Pinot Noir in Oregon produces wines that are fruit forward, yet complex, some with good agebility.
Other than Pinot Noir, many wineries grow Pinot Gris and Chardonnay. Pinot Gris from Oregon is delightful in its texture and food friendliness. Chardonnay in the valley adapts well to the cool climate and produces lean, elegant wines.
About Oregon
Oregon has long been an agricultural state, producing everything from hazelnuts to cattle. The Willamette Valley in particular is a fertile basin for all sorts of produce. Not quite pegged as a wine state, in 1965, a UC Davis graduate named David Lett decided that the Willamette's climate mirrored that of Burgundy in France. With that in mind, he decided to plant some Pinot Noir clones to see how they did. And a good gamble it was. The Willamette is now one of the only regions in the world to focus solely on Pinot Noir as its red variety. Also known for Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. The southern part of Oregon has been slower in delving into the world wine market, but has been making excellent strides with their Rhone style varietals, like Syrah and Grenache. There are also coastal regions producing promising wines.

Being a former track athlete myself I find these races to be just as exciting, if not more so, than the upcoming Olympics in London next month. Continue reading


text: July 22, 2013 — Every first Friday of the month, from May 3 to October 4, 2013, is the largest gathering of street food vendors in Québec. This epicurean feast blends street food, street art, and privately imported wine at the Olympic Park Esplanade Financière Sun Life. This year's event with its 15 to 20 food trucks easily eclipses last year's total of 5 to 7 trucks for an experience worthy of an Olympic medal. The Esplanade is one of the first sites in the city to have encouraged this type of food truck party with the creation of First Fridays in June 2012. Back by popular demand, the environmentally responsible shindig offers quality food served in eco-friendly containers. It's also a delicious opportunity to showcase the range of talent and flavours from kitchens and restaurants in Montréal and its surroundings. Make First Fridays your favourite days of the month, and treat yourself to this unique food celebration all summer long. Meanwhile, the StreetFood MTL site allows you to find some 350 Food Trucks and To Go services based on, among other things, the type of food you've got a craving for. Trucks work with the Québec Street Food Association to ensure the quality of offerings. Likewise, To Go counters provide a diverse and affordable selection of quality, fresh eats. Both services use geolocation software so you can easily find a truck or counter in the city. You can also follow StreetFood MTL on Twitter and Facebook so you'll always be in the loop of great, gastronomic finds. Summer keeps on truckin' in Québec's gourmet metropolis.

Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility: Terms and Conditions1
|Effective May 19, 2009
General Terms and Conditions
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York (New York Fed) will make up to $200 billion of loans under the TALF. TALF loans will have a term of three years or, in certain cases, five years; will be non-recourse to the borrower; and will be fully secured by eligible ABS. The U.S. Treasury Department will provide $20 billion of credit protection to the Federal Reserve in connection with the TALF, as described below.
Eligible Collateral
All or substantially all of the credit exposures underlying eligible ABS must be exposures that are both (1) originated by U.S.-organized entities or institutions or U.S. branches or agencies of foreign banks and (2) made to U.S.-domiciled obligors or with respect to real property located in the United States or one of its territories. The underlying credit exposures of eligible ABS must be auto loans, student loans, credit card loans, equipment loans, floorplan loans, insurance premium finance loans, small business loans fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by the U.S. Small Business Administration, receivables related to residential mortgage servicing advances (servicing advance receivables) or commercial mortgage loans.
The set of permissible underlying credit exposures of eligible ABS may be expanded later to include non-Agency residential mortgages and/or other asset classes.
Eligible collateral for a particular borrower must not be backed by loans originated or securitized by the borrower or by an affiliate of the borrower. A borrower, however, is not restricted from using an SBA Pool Certificate or Development Company Participation Certificate as collateral for its TALF loan even if the underlying loans backing the SBA ABS were originated by such borrower or its affiliates, provided that the borrower has no knowledge that the loans were originated by it or its affiliates. A borrower, in all cases, is not permitted to collateralize a TALF loan with ABS that was securitized by the borrower or by an affiliate of the borrower.
An ABS with a redemption option (other than pursuant to a customary clean-up call) is not eligible as collateral unless the ABS issuer has received acceptance of such redemption option from the New York Fed.
Further information on eligibility requirements for each category of ABS is provided below.
Eligible Borrowers
Transaction Structure and Pricing
TALF loans will be pre-payable in whole or in part at the option of the borrower, but substitution of collateral during the term of the loan generally will not be allowed. Unless otherwise provided in the Master Loan and Security Agreement "(MLSA)," any remittance of principal on eligible collateral must be used immediately to reduce the principal amount of the TALF loan in proportion to the loan's haircut (e.g., if the haircut ratio was 10 percent, 90 percent of any remittance of principal must immediately be repaid to the New York Fed). In addition, for collateral priced at a premium to par the borrower will make an additional principal payment calculated to adjust for the average reversion of market value toward par value as the ABS matures. Also, for five-year TALF loans (which will be available for loans secured by SBA Pool Certificates, SBA Development Company Participation Certificates or ABS backed by student loans or commercial mortgage loans), the excess of Certificate or ABS interest distributions over TALF loan interest payable will be remitted to the TALF borrower only until such excess equals 25% per annum of the haircut amount in the first three loan years, 10% in the fourth loan year, and 5% in the fifth loan year, and the remainder of such excess will be applied to TALF loan principal.
The New York Fed will assess an administrative fee equal to 5 basis points of the loan amount on the settlement date of each loan transaction.
Further information on transaction structure and pricing for TALF loans secured by each category of ABS is provided below and in the MLSA.
The New York Fed reserves the right to reject any request for a loan, in whole or in part, in its discretion. In this regard, the New York Fed is developing and implementing procedures to identify for further scrutiny potentially high-risk ABS that a borrower proposes to pledge to the New York Fed under the TALF.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
The uniqueness of the hotel. Has it's own look - very different than the typical Marriott, Hyatt, etc. Nothing is included! You are charged for every little thing on top of the already over inflated price.
It was a great location for our needs - the staff were very helpful and friendly There were a number of simple mix-ups in billing - not getting the room we booked - having to move rooms a number of times, but staff worked hard to rectify.
The shower is amazing! Comfortable beds. All of the staff was VERY friendly and helpful. Free shuttle. I was charged $256 per night for the same room that costed $120 in May of this year. Parking is $15 per night. I called days ahead asking for a certain view, didn't happen.
Sophisticated Get beds The staff was super friendly The fee for parking
Excellent location! Good service. Fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The location was ideal since we were in down for a football game and the stadium was only 2 blocks away. Rooms were spacious. I liked the in room coffee, The electric plug ins were hard to use. Half of them would not let you plug anything into them. I found the beds to be hard and the pillows way to soft.
Room was dirty. The cosmetic comforter had a blood stain (or something that looked like blood). Bellhop answered the phone every 1/3 times. Shuttle ride to conference center was very stuffy, hot.
We were told where to park with our fee. As we returned from our outing, there was a tow sticker on our car. How disheartening to travel 6 hours to visit family in the hospital and yet another 2 hour trip after that. What if our car had been towed? Would we have gotten to the hospital to see family or make it to work on time the next day?
location to the UMN. Friendly staff. no full size mirror in the in room or bath Funky bathroom with sink, mirror in the corner. the shower head did not stay in place. no mini refrigerator. nickel and dime you for little extras.
We liked the location. Lobby is wonderfully furnished. Food at the Beacons was mediocre at best. We ordered $11.00 glasses of wine for 4 adults and the waitress said they must be served in plastic before college game. We looked around and other people were being served with glass glasses. I requested to have ours repoured into glass and she refused. Even after the game when we once more came in, they served us with plastic and others with glass. We left after one round of 4. We will not be returning to the Beacon pre or post game in the future.
Clean, nice facility, excellent staff interaction, good restaurant and adjoining Starbucks. Great location on U of M campus allowed easy walk across to West Bank.
The staff, from the second we walked in to the moment we left were helpful, welcoming and friendly. Very accommodating. They more than made up for the physical flaws and turned the stay from a begrudged expense to a pleasant experience. There was a mistake in our room (probably my fault) and the desk goddess quickly, cheerfully, and effortlessly changed us to a room that suited our needs. For the price we paid I was appalled at the condition of the carpeting; stained beyond belief, worn, frayed. Frankly it was shocking. I know, a dumb thing to be shocked at but it was that bad. The ice machines didn't work on several floors. Parking was ridiculous; we had to pay for it and still couldn't park in the hotel lot, necessitating extra hassle on our parts. It is my understanding that there were some events going on that night (weddings, I'm guessing) that filled up the hotel lot but it seems to me it would be more equitable for those attendees to park in the parking garage rather than sending the overnight guests to the parking garage across the street.
Courtesy of the staff, environmentally conscious and the restaurant was great. It will be great to have a shower by the pool for cleaning before getting into the pool or Jacuzzi.
Restaurant, beds, location near highway, lobby area with piano and fireplace. Would have liked a complimentary breakfast...
close to the metrodome and to downtown minneapolis the cab fair was good and easy to tell how to get back to hotel
The staff were exceptionally friendly and went out of our way to assist us. No
Quiet, access to u of mn and Excel Energy Center
Hotel location is in an industrial park business area and while that was convenient for my purpose it is not near many restaurants, shopping or other attractions.
Good location Rowdy, loud guests made for an unusual and unpleasant stay. this is a very basic, utilitarian hotel.
Reasonable condition at reasonable price Building is a bit old, but I cannot complain at this price.
Room was quiet and had everything I needed: high-speed wifi, plenty of outlets, very close to my conference location. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They checked me in about three hours early which was really helpful for me to get work done while away from the office. Continental breakfast was pathetic. I got what I paid for (it was free). Also the grouting in the entire bathroom was crumbled away and missing to the point I could have tunneled down to the floor below me with a spoon.
Location was great. Great price for location with free shuttle, free wifi, free parking. Nice to have a refrigerator in the room. The front desk staff were very very nice and helpful. The rooms were quite uncomfortable. The tubs didn't drain properly which was quite gross thinking of how many people have stood in that shower with 2 inches of standing water. The beds and pillows were very uncomfortable, woke up each morning with terrible back and neck pain, so did my peer. We also were almost late for our conference as we were told the shuttle was stuck in traffic, however when the shuttle arrived 15 minutes late, there was frost all over the windows and it was freezing - obviously the shuttle was not stuck in traffic, an employee was late, which resulted in 10 others being late. Also it would have been nice to have a do not disturb sign to place on the door so staff would not to come in and clean when it is unnecessary.
Great hotel Poor breakfasts
Staffs are very friendly, hotel rooms are very comfortable, pricing is very good.
Friendly staff and we were good taking care of. The hotels shuttle bus made it easy going around, to the city-center and restaurants.
No non-sense hotel - value for money.
The location was great. Right by the University, and therefore close to bike paths, which was important to us. We also appreciated having a luggage cart to help us get our stuff from the car to the room, and back again. Our biggest complaint was to be told "free wifi" only to find out that yes, there was wifi, but it was worthless - unless you were trying early afternoon when most people were out. We had planned on using the wifi network at Day's Inn, to decide what we wanted to do each day, but ended up going to a coffee shop, because we couldn't even check our email at Day's Inn. Anther complaint : Toilets needed plunging (we saw employees with plungers in the halls several times, and the final morning ours needed it, too)
The hotel was one of the cheapest in the area, and located right next to Minnesota's campus, but there wasn't anything else to write home about.... House keeping forgot to replace towels, didn't restock coffee,and the sheets and towels would have stains and holes. They removed the garbage and forgot to replace the bag afterwards. The breakfast was subpar and the eggs were quite questionable and slimy. One morning they were out of most things in the breakfast room other than toast and yogurt. I was told it would be 10-15 minutes before they could restock everything (eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, etc....). This doesn't work very well when you are a business traveler and have to eat and then get to work....
$10 for an extra bed added to a Double Room is a great set up for our daughter and us, before her UOM freshman Move-In Day.
Comfortable room, clean, breakfast was nothing special but ok. Helpful staff. Bad internet connection
I was having day surgery and this hotel was close to the hospital and the price was great. Also they have shuttle service to and from the hospital.
The room was simple and highly functional. Everything worked together well. Especially enjoyed the coffee machine in the lobby that made a decent cappuccino. Could not believe that parking was free. The fan in the bathroom was louder than I would have wanted it to be.
The staff was very helpful and friendly. Coffee bar is a very nice touch. Rooms are very functional. The location and free parking make it a great value!

How to sway the odds of conceiving a girl
I just received this question in my personal "in box" and I want to post my reply here so that everyone may benefit.
My main question for you is about how you conceived a girl. I already have a son he is 1 very soon and i would like to try for a girl what did you do that increased your chances of having a girl?
So we did some specific things during that one month that we tried, and I gave birth to a daughter 9 months later.
There are many different techniques that can be used to help sway the chances of conceiving a girl. Some people swear that if you wait to try for a girl until the moon is just right, that it will help. Personally I haven't studied that theory much and I'd have a really hard time waiting for the moon to be right. I'd rather try every single month
So the things we did involved the right position during sex and the right timing during the month. There are other things you can do, and I'd encourage you to get the book How to Choose the Sex of Your Baby by the Shettles.
The little girl sperm are stronger and more resilient than the boy sperm which means a couple of things.
1. If you deposit the sperm shallowly (closer to the opening of your vagina) all sperm will have to swim around in the vaginal area, which tends to be more acidic than the area just beyond the cervix. This means that the little boy sperm will not survive as well (some will, of course, but many will not). The little girl sperm will still be able to swim through the cervix because they are stronger and affected less by the acidic environment of the vagina.
Feel free to make love in any position that you'd like, but before you finish, lay on your back and have your husband finish shallowly in you - you don't want to be so shallow that some comes out, but shallow enough that the sperm is not deposited close to the cervix (shallow penetration is better than deep penetration at the end).
2. The cervical mucus at the beginning of your fertile window is thicker and can be slightly more acidic than the mucus that is produced at the time of ovulation. Once again, this gives you an opportunity to reduce the number of boy sperm if you make love during the time when the mucus is thicker and more acidic. The thicker the mucus, the stronger the sperm must be in order to swim in it. When trying for a girl you'll want to make love at least 3 days before ovulation. This helps to ensure that by the time you ovulate, most of the little boy sperm will have died, and the little girl sperm will be hanging around in the fallopian tubes, waiting for an egg to be released.
In our case I knew that I had a 5 day fertile window, and I knew how to detect when I was on the first day of my fertile window. I was able to tell this by watching my body's signs of fertility which I explain in more depth on the post entitled Detecting Ovulation Even With Irregular Cycles.
One of the best things to help you determine when you're going into your fertile window is a fertility monitor. You just test every day and it will tell you how fertile you are each day - plus it will tell you when you're at your highest fertility. For anyone just trying to conceive and not really caring what gender they conceive, making love on the days when you are most fertile will result in the greatest chance of pregnancy. But for someone wanting to conceive a girl, a fertility monitor can be very, very helpful in catching those first 2 or 3 days of your fertile window, when making love gives you the best possible chance of having a daughter.
Some studies have also found that a husband and wife who want to have a girl should avoid coffee. We never drank coffee so this wasn't something we had to avoid, but coffee isn't good for a woman who is pregnant or trying to get pregnant anyway, so I would avoid it.
Hope this gives you some information to start with. Timing and technique are the two most important things when trying to sway the odds of having a girl.
Warm regards,

When trying for a girl, you want to be slightly on the acidic side. Not too acidic, but not alkaline. Our diets typically tend to be on the acidic side, so I'd say that the diet changes become more important when you're really trying to alkalize your body more (which means drinking green juices, eating lots of dark leafy green vegetables, avoiding sugar and refined flour products, avoiding fast food, reducing intake of meat and dairy, etc.).
I would encourage you to make sure you're eating a very healthy diet and that you're caring for yourself well during this preconception phase.
The Shettles have some good information on how to prepare your body to conceive a girl in their book "How To Choose The Sex of Your Baby".
In general, you'll want to be sure you're taking a prenatal vitamin supplement, that you're getting enough dark leafy greens in your diet (if you need a supplement for this, Organic Barley Grass Powder is good), and that you're getting enough omega 3 fatty acids.
I wish you all the best in your endeavor to conceive a girl.
Warm Regards,

Its nice to have a shop like Sweetwater in town.
I'm by no means a local - I've lived here off and on for six years now. And maybe this is only an issue with older surfers. But I hate paying more than a dollar for surf wax.
So, I walked into Sweetwater yesterday and put 2 bars of wax on the counter. The girl working asked me for $1. Idont know if she recognized me or she just knows how surfers like to be treated, I like to think it's a bit of both. But that simple gesture, told me that the shop appreciates my business. And more importantly validates the fact that Sweetwater is the first surf shop I go to when friends and family visit and want to buy surf stuff, clothes, gifts, etc. It makes it worth fighting to find a spot to park so you can get in the shop in the summer.
Thank you Sweetwater (this is not a paid advertisement )

I spend a fair number of evenings at Rooters every month... and am never disappointed! Their bartenders are amazing, as are the drink specials. Rooters also brings in the best local music you will ever hear! Any local artist's "unplugged" night will get you the best local acoustic ever! Don't let the fact that Rooters shares space with a bowling alley fool you. The atmosphere is great. If you love music, you'll love Rooters!

I'm sure BJJ would be an excellent choice for a girl of about 14, but the girl I have in mind would probably have an issue with the closeness of it.
Particularly if she had to roll with guys most of the time (which she probably would).
She's the daughter of a work colleague who has expressed an interest in martial arts.
How about Judo? Is that something that girls can enjoy?

PHILADELPHIA – A light rain was falling, but the water was noticeably calmer on the Schuylkill River from a day ago, as the No. 12 University of Pennsylvania heavyweight rowing team took one of four races from Northeastern, and two of three from George Washington on Saturday afternoon.
Penn's top-eight defeated No. 2 Northeastern earlier the day to reclaim the Burk Cup, finishing ahead of the Huskies by just over a two second margin. In the final race of the day, with a light tailwind behind them, the Quakers top crew defeated No. 17 George Washington by a little over 12 seconds to retain the McCausland Cup.
The Quakers second varsity crew came up just short in its running versus Northeastern, falling by less than a second. In their race versus George Washington, the crew bounced back to win by a little over six seconds, also finishing ahead of Penn's own third varsity crew.
In the Northeastern matchup, the Huskies had the upper hand in the first two races of the day, taking down Penn's third and fourth varsity crews, both by margins of over 10 seconds.
The Quakers freshman team did not race against Northeastern and finished in the middle of the pack behind George Washington's first freshman crew, while beating its second.
Penn's heavyweights return to action on Saturday, April 12, when Princeton and Columbia travel to Philadelphia to take part in the Childs Cup.

The Long Beach Water Department has won Los Angeles County's Green Leadership Award for a program that subsidizes replacing lawns with drought-tolerant landscapes, it was announced Tuesday.
The Lawn-to-Garden program began two years ago and has helped transform lawns at about 600 homes in the city. Long Beach has approximately 60,000 single-family homes.
Roughly half of all residential water is used outdoors, according to the Water Department.
"We believe there is still so much that can be achieved through this program," said Kevin Wattier, the department's general manager.
"Water conservation remains by far the cheapest source of water and it just makes sense that these kinds of cost-effective solutions for addressing our water supply situation are sought out and implemented."
The program is funded through a partnership with the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California.
The Water Department is holding its first annual Lawn-to-Garden tour from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on May 19 th. The self-guided tour is free and features 30 homes that have participated in the lawn program.
To get more information on the tour or how to apply for incentives, go to www.lblawntogarden.com.
