I think one of my favorite things to do is to
Refinish Furniture.
Remember these chairs that I found way back when? (Last fall to be exact!)
You can see them along with other loot that I grabbed that day in my post Today's Loot from the Curb.
The chairs were in pretty sad shape but I HAD to have them! I really didn't have anywhere to put them at the time but we were tossing up ideas about MyLove's job offer and possible move so I held on to them. I tucked them away in our back yard, covered them with tarp and babied them until I had an idea what I could do with them.
Well as you know we did move and I stuck them on our new back porch. MyLove and I had enjoyed them so far as we sat out there every night since we moved in but ... s t i l l s h a b b y!
We were having my daughter's Graduation party and a family's Fourth of July party so I got a wild hair and decided on a self imposed deadline to refinish these chairs before we had guests (along with unpacking our entire house). Crazy huh? Well I worked on them fast and furious and took many shortcuts along the way.
I lightly sanded them by hand. Not my norm for refinishing furniture but I was in a hurry and knew they would turn out great either way.
I painted on my "go to" favorite Minwax Dark Walnut stain with a cheap paint brush.
This was a really soft wood so it sucked up the stain quick and the result was quite a bit darker than the projects I had used it on before:
I even had a helper that begged and begged to paint so I let her paint it on the ottoman. (The second ottoman didn't survive the move)
I then rubbed the stain off with some heavy duty paper towels like I used in my
I recommend wearing gloves in this step because trust me, it's messy!
Remember Karate Kid? "Wipe on, Wipe off"
I let it dry overnight and then put on one coat of Minwax Polyurethane.
I apologize for so many pictures so I will cut to the chase...here they are!
I love the way they turned out.
Here is a little reminder of how much they have transformed.
From S H A B B Y
To F A B U L O U S !
Wow! Just in time...MyLove is home, now I think I'll go grab that glass of wine!
Wasn't that easy? If you want to remember it just Pin the following image for a quick reminder to tackle it as well!

This session of the Social Mobility APPG's inquiry into entertainment and media explored challenges for accessing the entertainment and media professions.
Unpaid internships were the focus of the first panel of the evening: Sir Peter Bazelgette, Chair of the Arts Council and ITV, described them as 'the curse of the arts industry'. Both Bazelgette and Carys Nelkon of Arts Emergency said that the expectation that young people will work for less than the national minimum wage was the major barrier for disadvantaged young people interested in accessing jobs in the creative industries. Sir Peter called for employers who don't pay a fair wage to be named and shamed.
In the second session, Andy Cairns of Sky Sports News, Megan Bramall of BBC Breakfast, Helena Carter of ITV News and Joanne Butcher of the National Council for the Training of Journalists all agreed that it was important for society to have a more diverse group of people producing the news that we consume. However all the panelists thought that access to work experience and a lack of good careers advice was stopping many less advantaged young people from considering a career in the field.
Swapping Hollywood for Westminster, award-winning actor Michael Sheen kicked off the third session. The actor, best-known for his portrayals of Tony Blair and Brian Clough, was speaking about the barriers that stop disadvantaged young people accessing careers in media and the arts.
Sheen warned that cuts to arts budgets mean pathways into acting are now closed for many young people. He benefited from drama classes at his comprehensive school in Port Talbot, before joining a youth theater and then going on to receive a grant to attend drama school, but these opportunities no longer existed for the young people in his area, Sheen said.
He argued that a lack of funding for youth arts projects is often down to the perception that artistic talent is innate and doesn't need nurturing. Sheen was quick to point out that "acting is a craft" and "part of being a good actor is making it look really easy", but in reality "it takes ages before you are really good at it". The actor was joined by Stuart Worden, Principal of the BRIT school in Croydon, who added that: "we say, 'that's not exactly rocket science' – we should also say 'that's not exactly contemporary dance,' it's just as hard".
Stuart Worden, the second panellist for the final session, spoke passionately about the importance of making sure all young people have access to a good arts education at school. He warned that curriculum changes have led to a dangerous devaluing of arts subjects in school and highlighted that 46,000 fewer students will take a creative subject at GCSE this year. The educationalist pointed out that this was an economic problem as well as a cultural one: the creative industries are one of fasting growing sectors of the UK economy but "if society is hell-bent on creating an arts-free education, there will be nobody there to take these jobs".
Both Sheen and Worden agreed that improving access to careers in the arts industries is critical. Sheen said that failure to ensure working class voices are heard in film, theatre and TV will have a wider impact on society as a whole. He added that we have to make sure that theater appeals to everybody and reflects the experiences of the country as a whole, not just the privileged few.

The Walking Dead: NBC Pretty Much Cancels Three Shows Before They Premiere
Why 'Love Bites' and two other NBC shows have yet to be scheduled.
Last May, NBC announced plans to add a whopping thirteen new shows to its lineup during the 2010-11 season. Ten have debuted, and virtually all have failed (Chase, Undercovers, The Cape) or floundered (The Event, Law & Order: Los Angeles, Outsourced). But what about the other three — the romantic anthology Love Bites and sitcoms Friends with Benefits and The Paul Reiser Show — which were also unveiled nine months ago with so much fanfare, but remain both unbroadcast and unscheduled? Green-lit when Jeff Zucker was still in control of NBC, these shows, now under Robert Greenblatt's control, are technically not dead, but Vulture has learned that, barring an unexpected strategy shift, Love Bites (starring Ugly Betty alum Becki Newton) won't air until this summer at the earliest, while the other two shows are also long shots to get any sort of serious launch until after the season wraps in May. So why is NBC giving up on three shows which, collectively, cost more than $25 million to produce?
Nobody at NBC is talking, but according to industry insiders, the answer is pretty simple: Greenblatt simply wasn't enamored with any of them. That's not a shocker, since even the Peacock brass who put the series in development (including ex–NBC Entertainment president Angela Bromstad) weren't convinced they had found surefire hits in the programs, as evidenced by the fact that the shows were never given premiere dates. But even if the trio were better regarded, it would be hard for NBC to find a way to properly launch them this season: NBC's current schedule makes it hard to air new comedies on any night but Thursday. Trying to build a comedy block on another night this late in the season would be suicidal, particularly with Glee and American Idol occupying key time slots on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
It's still possible — but not likely — that Greenblatt could decide to test out Friends with Benefits or Paul Reiser this season in place of Thursday night underperformers Perfect Couples or Outsourced. But if he does, it probably would only be for a few weeks in April, and the shows would likely be given very little promotional support. NBC's programming priority this spring is expected to be The Voice, a new music-competition series the network is rushing onto the air in April in order to try to blunt the September debut of Fox's The X Factor.
The most likely scenario for the three orphan shows is that they'll be burned off in the summer; that was the fate of 100 Questions, a once-hot NBC comedy pilot that quickly went south and ended up quietly airing on Thursdays last May and June. But in a sign that NBC isn't holding out any hope of long-term survival for the shows, last month Greenblatt told the stars of Love Bites that they were free to start looking for jobs on other TV shows. Love regular Greg Grunberg promptly found work on the A&E pilot Big Mike, while casting agents (including some working for NBC) immediately began descending on Newton's reps in the hope of securing her services on one of their pilots. One other clue that NBC has given up on Zucker's orphans: Visitors who surf over to the official NBC websites for Friends with Benefits and Paul Reiser get a "Video Not Found!" message when clicking on promo trailers for the shows. Ouch.

A few years ago on a trip to Paris, I read an intriguing review in Le Monde of a book called Comme un Frère, Comme un Amant, a study of "Male Homosexuality in the American Novel and Theatre from Herman Melville to James Baldwin," the work of one Georges-Michel Sarotte, a Sorbonne graduate and a visiting professor at the University of Massachusetts. I read the book, found it interesting; met the author, found him interesting. He told me that he was looking forward to the publication of his book in the United States by Anchor Press/Doubleday. What sort of response did I think he would have? I was touched by so much innocent good faith. There will be no reaction, I said, because no one outside of the so-called gay press will review your book. He was shocked. Wasn't the book serious? scholarly? with an extensive bibliography? I agreed that it was all those things; unfortunately, scholarly studies having to do with fags do not get reviewed in the United States (this was before the breakthrough of Yale's John Boswell, whose ferociously learned Christianity, Social Tolerance and Homosexuality obliged even the "homophobic" New York Times to review it intelligently). If Sarotte had written about the agony and wonder of being female and/or Jewish and/or divorced, he would have been extensively reviewed. Even a study of black literature might have gotten attention (Sarotte is beige), although blacks are currently something of a nonsubject in these last days of empire.
I don't think that Professor Sarotte believed me. I have not seen him since. I also have never seen a review of his book or of Roger Austen's Playing the Game (a remarkably detailed account of American writing on homosexuality) or of The Homosexual as Hero in Contemporary Fiction by Stephen Adams, reviewed at much length in England and ignored here, or of a dozen other books that have been sent to me by writers who seem not to understand why an activity of more than casual interest to more than one-third of the male population of the United States warrants no serious discussion. That is to say, no serious benign discussion. All-out attacks on faggots are perennially fashionable in our better periodicals.
I am certain that the novel Tricks by Renaud Camus (recently translated for St. Martin's Press by Richard Howard, with a preface by Roland Barthes) will receive a perfunctory and hostile response out there in book-chat land. Yet in France, the book was't treated as if it were actually literature, admittedly a somewhat moot activity nowadays. So I shall review Tricks. But first I think it worth bringing out in the open certain curious facts of our social and cultural life.
The American passion for categorizing has now managed to create two nonexistent categories—gay and straight. Either you are one or you are the other. But since everyone is a mixture of inclinations, the categories keep breaking down; and when they break down, the irrational takes over. You have to be one or the other. Although our mental therapists and writers for the better journals usually agree that those who prefer same-sex sex are not exactly criminals (in most of our states and under most circumstances they still are) or sinful or, officially, sick in the head, they must be, somehow, evil or inadequate or dangerous. The Roman Empire fell, didn't it? because of the fags?
Our therapists, journalists and clergy are seldom very learned. They seem not to realize that most military societies on the rise tend to encourage same-sex activities for reasons that should be obvious to anyone who has not grown up ass-backward, as most Americans have. In the centuries of Rome's great military and poIitical success, there was no differentiation between same-sexers and other-sexers; there was also a lot of crossing back and forth of the sort that those Americans who do enjoy inhabiting category-gay or category-straight find hard to deal with. Of the first twelve Roman emperors, only one was exclusively heterosexual. Since these twelve men were pretty tough cookies, rigorously trained as warriors, perhaps our sexual categories and stereotypes are—can it really be?—false. It was not until the sixth century of the empire that same-sex sex was proscribed by church and state. By then, of course, the barbarians were within the gates and the glory had fled.

What are the different subscription plans?
There are 3 options that are available:
– the 12 sheet plan, which includes 2 sheets each of 6 different designs;
– the 24 sheet plan, which includes 4 sheets each of 6 different designs;
– the 48 sheet plan, which includes 8 sheets each of 6 different designs.
I'm confused. Can you explain more simply?
Of course! No matter which plan you pick, you'll receive 6 different designs each month. The 12 sheet plan gives you 2 sheets of each design, the 24 sheet plan gives you 4 sheets of each design, and the 48 sheet plan gives you 8 sheets of each design.
What kind of stationery will I receive?
It will be a surprise every month, but the paper is 5″ x 8″ (A5 size), and you can write on both sides if you wish. It is not made specifically for fountain pens, but some customers tell us that it is fountain pen friendly. You'll always get 6 brand new designs that have never been sold anywhere else before. You'll always receive a variety, so you can expect a few different styles: vintage, retro, cute, quirky, modern, elegant – you'll find something for each and every one of your penpals! When you subscribe, we'll also ask for some suggestions, because we want to offer you stationery that you like! We can't guarantee that we'll use your ideas, but our subscribers often have amazing suggestions, so we take them into consideration when we create new designs.
Are envelopes included?
We're now offering matching envelopes (as of May 2016), so you can choose whether you prefer to receive paper only, or writing sheets with envelopes! Each envelope matches each stationery design, so if you purchase the 6 envelope pack, you'll receive 6 different envelopes. If you get the 12 envelope pack, you'll receive 2 envelopes each of our 6 different designs. (They are illustrated and not just plain, solid colors.) The envelope size is A2 (4 3/8″ x 5 3/4″ or 111mm x 146mm), so the paper fits perfectly inside when folded in half.
I used to purchase the Stationery of the Week (SOTW) on Penpal of the Week. Is this the same thing?
It's not exactly the same thing, but it's similar. Instead of designing a new stationery and selling it individually every week, we now offer 6 new designs a month that are sold as a bundle. To help you save on shipping, we'll mail them all together. The SOTW has been replaced by the SSS. It's even easier to pronounce – everyone wins!
When will I receive my paper?
Depending on where you live, you should receive your stationery within 4 weeks of payment. So if you start your subscription on the 1st of the month, you should receive your first package of stationery at the end of that month, or on the 1st of the following month at the latest. As you very well know as a letter writer, the time mail takes to reach us can be hard to predict, but we're training our messenger pigeons to go faster and faster. (It's working pretty well so far!)
How much does shipping cost?
Nothing! Zero! Nada! Shipping is absolutely free for all North American customers. Outside of the United States and Canada, international customers will be charged $2 for the 12 sheet plan, $4 for the 24 sheet plan, and $6 for the 48 sheet plan.
What is the value of the stationery?
Each pack of 12 sheets of an individual design in the Etsy shop has a value of $6, shipping included. So normally, getting 6 different designs would cost a minimum of $36. But with this SSS, you can get your hands on 6 designs a month for as low as $6!
How can I pay?
Payments can be made via PayPal, and we list our prices in USD, but all currencies are accepted.
Do I need to pay for a year in advance in order to get a decent price?
Not at all! We hate being stuck in a contract as much as you do, so you can just pay as you go along. We won't even charge you extra for subscribing on a monthly basis! Everyone gets the same good price. Try it out for a couple of months and see if you like it!
Can I purchase a subscription for someone as a gift?
You certainly can! A stationery subscription would make an awesome present. Just fill in the form on this page, and we'll send you an invoice shortly.
I like free stationery. How can I get free stuff?
Good! We like free stationery too, and we're happy to send you a free pack of 12 sheets if you refer your friends to the SSS and they subscribe. As long as you're with us, you're eligible for a free monthly surprise. So for example, if 4 of your friends subscribe, no matter what plan they choose, you'll receive a free stationery item 4 months in a row.
What if I want to cancel?
Then you should! It's very easy and you don't even need to get in touch with us to do it. Just log into your PayPal account, go to your profile, and find your payment settings. You can manage your preapproved payments and cancel or update your subscription from there.
What if I want less sheets, or more sheets? Can I switch plans?
Yes you can. Just cancel your current subscription before your renewal by going to your PayPal account, where you can manage your preapproved payments in your profile. Then, come back on the website and pay for a new subscription by selecting your new favorite option.
I'm moving. How should I let you know where to send the stationery?
Please send us your new address via the contact form. Good luck with the move!
You two are a couple… Were you ever penpals? Who does what at La Papierre exactly?
Sadly, we were never penpals – it would make a pretty interesting story, wouldn't it?! We did meet through the League of Extraordinary Penpals, so we hope that gets us some extra points. Plus we do write each other little love notes from time to time! As for our respective tasks, here's the short answer: Julie designs the stationery, and Denise finds the best stamps to put on your envelope. We're also both pretty good at making thai soup, and choosing the perfect shade of ink to match our stationery when writing letters.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Social Security will turn 78 on Wednesday, Aug. 14, and the non-profit group The Other 98% is encouraging Americans to support a bill that would increase benefits while removing a cap on income subject to the Social Security tax.
"Wish Social Security a happy 78th birthday by supporting efforts to expand benefits, not cut them, and to scrap the cap on funding Social Security, making billionaires pay the same rate as the rest of us," says a petition on the group's website.
Earlier this year, U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) introduced the Strengthening Social Security Act of 2013. It would phase out a cap that shields high incomes from the Social Security tax. Currently, only the first $113,700 of annual salary is taxed for Social Security.
His bill would also revise how Social Security payments are adjusted, shifting away from a method based on the Consumer Price Index which does not accurately reflect the higher costs that seniors pay for medications and other expenses.
Groups supporting Harkin's legislation include: AFL-CIO, AFSCME, the Alliance for Retired Americans, Campaign for Community Change, the National Organization for Women (NOW), the National Education Association, Paralyzed Veterans of America, Strengthen Social Security Coalition, Social Security Works, the United Automobile Aerospace & Agricultural Implement Workers of America (UAW), and United Steelworkers.

Oswestry nursing group milestone celebrated
Events to celebrate 50 years of a nurses' group have taken place at a Shropshire hospital.
A special service was held earlier for the Oswestry League of Nurses at The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital (RJAH).
The group was formed to bring together nurses trained at the hospital.
A statue of former matron Mary Powell, who died aged 98 in 2011, was also unveiled, and a walk reviving memories of the hospital took place.
The matron and principal nursing officer from 1962 to 1974 trained at Oswestry from 1936 and worked alongside one of the hospital's founders, Dame Agnes Hunt.
Specialist nurse Carolyn Evans said it was "such an important event", celebrating nurses who had worked at the hospital.
The trust in Oswestry serves a local population in Shropshire, Wales, Cheshire and the West Midlands of about 1.8 million.

No task is to small for the president of Solar West as he assist in continuous maintenance of a clean job site. […] read more
I can personally vouch for the professional and courteous service provided by the solar energy installers, Solar West Electric. They were always punctual, professional, and comprehensive to ascertain that the work was done correctly the first time. I possess no reservations and highly recommend their work to anyone who is interested in solar energy installation related home enterprises.
After receiving three different bids on our solar installation project, we contracted with Solar West Electric. Solar West was able to obtain all equipment/panels and complete the installation within 2 weeks of our initial agreement with them. Our project site is in rural east county, yet our installation team was on-site promptly at 8am each day. They provided a very professional work ethic and completed the installation within 3 days. Solar West representatives dealt with county permits and inspections from both San Diego County and SDGE, and with filing for the state rebate. We are very pleased with having our solar project completed in such a timely and professional manner. The personnel from Solar West Electric were very attentive to ensuring customer satisfaction.
I wish to extend my congratulations to you for an installation of my solar system including the hook up to house electrical panel. The attitude and professionalism of the entire 3 members of the installation team was outstanding, including the cleanup of the work site after the installation was complete. If asked, your company would get my recommendations for a company that can be trusted to do the job right and on time.
The employees from Solar West Electric are exceptional. Everything was accomplished in a very neat and expeditious manner. They worked very well together and didn't waste my or the inspectors time. This is a top notch installation. A job very well done.
The installation of my solar power system by your crew was perfect. The workers were professional, personable and they were clearly very dedicated employees. The installation was completed in a timely fashion and was very well done. I am completely satisfied with the work your crew performed and will happily recommend your company to anyone who may inquire. The quality of the work performed by your crew is testimony to the high standards and expectations you obviously require of your people.

Four 8-1 Decisions in One DayClosed Published by Kedar S. Bhatia January 10th, 2012 in Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Statistics, Supreme Court
The Supreme Court released four opinions today, and each was 8-1. You can find all of the opinions here.
CompuCredit v. Greenwood, a case centering around arbitration clauses, is especially interested. In an opinion written by Justice Scalia, the Supreme Court somewhat predictably upheld an arbitration agreement and read the Credit Repair Organizations Act's nonwavier provision narrowly enough to allow the Federal Arbitration Act's presumption of enforceability to prevail. At this point, Supreme Court opinions upholding arbitration clauses almost feel pro forma. Justice Ginsburg dissented.
Justice Ginsburg also provided the lone dissenting vote in Minneci v. Pollard. Over the past ten years, Justice Ginsburg has only provided the lone dissenting vote about once every other term (.5 times per year), so it was especially surprising to see her do it twice in one day. During the Roberts Court, there have been an average of 7.4 8-1 decisions per year, making today's barrage of 8-1 opinions even more surprising.

So this is a busy week.
Out today is issue 246 of SFX Magazine – inside of which you will find no fewer than three things either by, or related to… me!
On page 108, Eddie Robson reviews The Burning Dark, awarding four stars and saying it is…
A skillful genre clash, using the furniture of military SF to stage a piece of psychological horror… what lingers at the end is the deeply uncanny quality of a haunted, abandoned space station, and a final sequence of revelations that pay off the tension handsomely.
All I can say it… wow! I love this review to bits!
If that whets your appetite, turn to page 116 for a two-page extract from the book, courtesy of Titan. The extract is an entire chapter, focussing on two of the marines stuck on the space station Coast City.
Following that, on page 118 is my second Book Club feature, this time on the Dragonlance classic, Dragons of Autumn Twilight.
Phew! Seriously, that must be some kind of record for SFX appearances.
I'm also delighted today to show off a new blurb for Hang Wire!
One of my favourite books of last year was Save Yourself, by literary wunderkind Kelly Braffet. Save Yourself is dark and beautiful, with a depth of character and elegance of prose that regular schmucks like myself can only dream of achieving.
I was pleased as punch to make Kelly's acquaintance via Twitter (man, three cheers for social media), and then just a little awestruck when she asked if she could read Hang Wire.
And she did, and this is what she said:
Adam Christopher's Hang Wire reads like Erin Morgenstern via Tim Powers, but the dark, creepy heart that beats at its center is entirely its own. It's good unclean fun, and so addictive.
And… wow. I'm speechless, and also very, very grateful to have received such wonderful praise from a writer such as Kelly. That blurbs joins Hang Wire's NPR review and starred Booklist review as some of the highlights of my writing career so far.
So if all of that tickles your fancy, come along to the Forbidden Planet Megastore at 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, on Thursday night (6th March) at 6pm for what promises to be an epic double launch of Hang Wire and The Burning Dark. I'll be reading from both books, and the first 50 people in the door will get a Hang Wire fortune cookie (as seen in the book)! Hidden inside are four spot prizes, including a voucher for the Forbidden Planet store. There will also be jello shots! We were going to serve a wild strawberry liqueur – as seen in The Burning Dark – but it's a little sweet and very sticky, so to make it safer for the store (sticky fingers on books is a bad idea), we're making it into something a little easier to handle.
As well as the regular paperback of Hang Wire, the limited edition, numbered hardcover – with gorgeous variant red cover by Kitschies Inky Tentacle winner Will Staehle – will be available for the first time. And not only that, this event will be your chance to grab The Burning Dark nearly three whole weeks before it goes on general sale anywhere in the world.
Phew! I guess I'd better choose what to read then… see you tomorrow!

Rocky Road Toffee
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I'm always trying to create great gluten free dishes. This Rocky Road Toffee is so good, no one will ever think it's gluten free. I have to give it away because I can't stop eating it.
And as good as it is, it's even easier to make. It's a very flexible recipe which means you can substitute peanut butter for almond butter and use any combination of nuts you have on hand. The base of the Toffee is a plain cracker, and I used Orgran Toasted Buckwheat Crisp Bread which is crunchy, crisp and totally GLUTEN FREE.
AND: It freezes very well! So, make it now and keep it in your freezer just in case. —At Home with Friends
Makes: 19 x 13 inch pan
ounces Orgran Toasted Buckwheat Crisp Bread (enough to line 9 X 13-inch pan)
ounces unsalted butter
cup brown sugar
cup almond butter (okay to substitute smooth peanut butter)
teaspoon vanilla extract
teaspoon sea salt
cup white marshmallows, chopped
cup sliced almonds
ounces dark chocolate, roughly chopped
cup hazelnuts, chopped
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Fully line a 9 X 13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, up the sides, or with foil sprayed with non-sticky baking spray.
- Place the crackers in a single layer, completely covering the pan.
- Combine the butter, sugar, almond butter, vanilla and salt in a medium saucepan and gently bring to a boil. Whisk to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat and simmer 1 minute, constantly whisking.
- Pour the mixture over the crackers. Using an offset spatula, spread the mixture evenly.
- Bake 8-9 minutes. Remove from the oven, scatter half the chocolate, all the marshmallows, sliced almonds and top with remaining chocolate. Return to oven for approximately 1 minute to melt the chocolate.
- Remove from oven and sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts. Allow to cool completely.
- Use baking paper or foil to lift entire slab out of the pan. Using a sharp knife, cut into pieces; or if freezing, gently remove Toffee from paper and wrap in waxed paper and then plastic wrap.
- Place wrapped slab in airtight container and freeze.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for The Best Thing You Ate This Year

How are the Orioles faring in one-run games in 2013?
By Matt Vensel
June 25, 2013
We're not even halfway through 2013 and the Orioles have already lost more one-run games than in all of 2012. Of course, the Orioles were something special last season, winning 93 games and making the playoffs thanks in large part to a 29-9 record in one-run games, giving them the best winning percentage (.763) in MLB history in that situation. Back in spring training, I wrote a blog post about whether their one-run success was sustainable . In the post, I cited historical data compiled by Blake Murphy of Beyond the Box Score.
Angelos On The Managers He Has Let Go
August 5, 2005
"I and everyone with the Orioles wish Johnny the best. He leaves with our gratitude, goodwill and respect." Johnny Oates In: May 23, 1991 (under owner Eli Jacobs) Out: Sept. 26, 1994 Won-lost: 291-270 Winning percentage: .519 "The Orioles will continue to hold Phil in high personal and professional esteem." Phil Regan In: Oct. 16, 1994 Out: Oct. 20, 1995 Won-lost: 71-73 Winning percentage: . 493 "This chapter is over, I wish him well." Davey Johnson In: Oct. 30, 1995 Out: Nov. 5, 1997 Won-lost: 186-138 Winning percentage: .574 "Ray Miller is a gentleman and a fine baseball man. ... My best wishes go out to him in his future endeavors."
Dan Duquette has fifth highest winning percentage among 2012 GMs
By Dan Connolly
November 16, 2012
When Dan Duquette was hired roughly a year ago as the club's executive vice president, the Orioles pointed to his impressive track record in the past with the Montreal Expos and Boston Red Sox. He was in charge of some very good teams - although none went to the World Series. Of course, the Expos in 1994 might have had the season not ended in August due to labor unrest. And Duquette was one of the primary architects of the Red Sox team that twice won world championships after he left.

By the numbers .778 Maryland's overall winning percentage - third worst among ACC teams. He said it "I think I'm a pretty easy guy to play for, as long as you bust your rear end and do it every possession." Roy Williams, North Carolina coach
Key matchups
May 23, 2003
With possession so precious this time of the year, Kyle Harrison's work in the faceoff circle against Syracuse senior Chris Bickel could prove pivotal. Harrison ranks seventh nationally with a .633 winning percentage, and he gets strong help from Grey Peyser and Lou Braun, who has won 61.3 percent of his 93 attempts. Bickel, who has competed for 339 faceoffs this year, with a winning percentage of .560, could wear down in the second half. Hopkins also does not want to give Syracuse sophomore goalie Jay Pfeifer early confidence.
September 21, 2003
It's a fact The Red Sox are 25-15 (.625) in one-run games, the best winning percentage in the American League. Milestone The Mariners are on track to become just the second club since 1904 to use five starting pitchers all season. The number 28: Number of different line ups used by the Reds this season.

Quote: "I was thinking about going to short next." -- Ken Griffey of the Mariners, who played all three outfield positions and first base.It's a fact: The Rangers have lost 28 of their past 35 games against Seattle in the Kingdome.Who's hot: Attendance was 41,150, raising the Yankees' team-record total to 2,900,126.Who's not: The Angels have dropped nine of their past 12 games.On deck: By winning their regular-season finale today, the Yankees would become the ninth team in major-league history to finish a season with a winning percentage of .700.
Elkton's Henry stars at Charles Town
By Special to The Sun
April 3, 1994
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. -- Apprentice jockey Terry Henry and trainer Jeff C. Runco captured the riding and training titles during the recently concluded winter meet at Charles Town Races.Henry, 29, an Elkton, Md. native, booted home 37 winners, 19 seconds and 32 thirds from 214 mounts for a winning percentage of .170 and an in-the-money percentage of .410. Henry, who checked her tack into the Charles Town jockey quarters last November, finished ahead of jockeys Wayne Barnett with 31 wins and Lillian "Mich" Kuykendall and Larry Dupuy, with 20 wins each.
Barnett, Runco win spring titles
By Special to The Sun
July 6, 1993
CHARLES TOWN, W.Va. -- Jockey Wayne Barnett and trainer Jeff C. Runco captured the riding and training titles during Charles Town Races' spring meet, which ended June 30.Barnett, a 27-year-old Wayne, Mich., native, booted home 85 winners, 71 seconds and 47 thirds from 379 mounts for a winning percentage of .220 and an in-the-money percentage of .600. The spring riding title was Barnett's fourth straight meet title at the three-quarter-mile track.Chris Martin was second in the standings with 49 wins, followed by Larry Dupuy with 46.Runco garnered his 11th straight meet title and 14th meet title overall, saddling 47 winners, 31 seconds and 25 thirds from 157 starts for a winning percentage of .300 and an in-the-money percentage of .660.
Change of scenery might benefit Guthrie, O's
Peter Schmuck
June 11, 2011
It's only June, but it might be time for the Orioles to start seriously pondering the mystery that is Jeremy Guthrie. The veteran cornerstone of the starting rotation is 2-8 and — by all accounts — much better than that dismal won-loss record. He is a solid guy and a solid presence in the Orioles clubhouse. He's also a dependable innings eater who preserves the bullpen and handles the swings and errors of his outrageous fortune without public complaint or self pity. In other words, what's not to like, and yet you can make the case that the July 31 deadline for making trades without waivers can't get here soon enough, both for Guthrie and the team.
Showalter aims to steer O's clear of another late-season swoon
By Dan Connolly, The Baltimore Sun
August 23, 2010
Through all the Orioles' losing in the past decade-plus, amid all the statistics that accentuate recent baseball futility in Baltimore, there's one fact that seemingly stands alone in provoking utter disbelief: The Orioles' consistently abominable records in recent Augusts and Septembers. How bad has it been? The Orioles' last winning August was in 1997, when they were 18-10, the most recent season in which they had an overall winning record and made the playoffs. Dating to 2000, the Orioles have had no winning Augusts and just one winning September/October (19-13 in 2004)
Second-half Swoon All Too Familiar For O's
By Kevin Cowherd and Kevin Cowherd,firstname.lastname@example.com
August 13, 2009
So now the question is: What kind of nose dive are the Orioles in this time? Is it the same old nose dive of the past 11 years, when they managed a nifty .410 winning percentage (254-368) in August and September? Or is this one somehow different, the sort-of-expected cratering of a team trotting out a lot of young arms and a couple of promising rookie position players while prepping for the future? Go ahead, you decide. Flip a coin if you have to. And do you even care if this nose dive is any different from all the others?

Et cetera Bowie State men's basketball: : Bowie State alumnus Darrell Brooks was named the new coach of the program. The Brooklyn native, 53, is a 1979 graduate of the university, where he played point guard for the Bulldogs from 1975-79. Brooks coached at George Washington for the past eight years. Before his stint there, Brooks spent the 2000-01 season as the coach at Western Maryland College. Under Brooks, Western Maryland ranked among the top three teams in the Centennial Conference in scoring, assists, three-pointers made and steals.
Direct outlook
By Dan Connolly and Dan Connolly,email@example.com
April 6, 2009
Orioles manager Dave Trembley has made a career out of properly assessing situations. He is considered a talent developer with a prescience to push the right buttons in motivating baseball's varying personalities. So, as he enters the dugout Monday for his second Opening Day as field general of the Orioles, Trembley absolutely, positively knows the score. "Somebody along the line is the front line of this, the infantry, and is going to take the body blows," Trembley said. "Somebody is going to pay the price, just like somebody has paid the price for everything that has come our way in this life and this game."
Wake O's up when September ends
By Dan Connolly and Dan Connolly,firstname.lastname@example.com
August 29, 2008
In a year that has been highlighted by hard play, inspired comebacks and clubhouse unity, the Orioles find themselves in a familiar position as the season approaches its final month. They are again outside the playoff race, buried deep in the American League East standings. They've lost seven of nine and yet again have been reduced to the role of hopeful spoilers facing a four-week parade of postseason contenders. "It gets hard sometimes, yeah. We'd be lying if we said it didn't," Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts said.
Early numbers put Mussina among best ever
By Jim Henneman and Jim Henneman,Sun Staff Writer
July 10, 1994
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that Mike PTC Mussina wasted no time going to the head of the pitching class.What may not be understood is the quality of the company he's keeping. Three years doesn't make a career, but it's long enough to provide a good indication.Mussina has moved past Toronto right-hander Juan Guzman to claim the best winning percentage among active pitchers. His 49-20 record works to a .710 percentage (Guzman is 47-20, .701).However, what Mussina's numbers don't easily relate is his standing on the all-time list.

Portuguese Promoted Trend Shows Twitter's Need for GeoTargeting
Like today's trend from Peixe Urbano, the only other non-English Promoted Trend was also aimed at Brazilians.
Like today's trend from Peixe Urbano, the only other non-English Promoted Trend was also aimed at Brazilians.
Call today's Promoted Trend on Twitter especial. It's not from a media company or a fast-food chain. It's from a little-known Groupon-style business called Peixe Urbano serving the relatively niche Brazilian market. And it's in Portuguese.
For those following Twitter's every move, the ad buy shines a spotlight on the platform's lack of geo-targeting capabilities. Indeed, rather than targeting its audience in Brazil alone, the Promoted Trend effectively targets the globe.
The desire to geo-target on Twitter may be preventing some advertisers from buying the pricey promoted trend product, which is reported to cost anywhere from $70,000 to $120,000. Yet, Twitter expects to remove that barrier.
"We don't currently offer geo-targeting for our Promoted Products, but yes, the plan is to introduce that capability this year," a Twitter spokesperson told ClickZ News via e-mail.
"The mix of deals that we have is very specific to Brazil," said Peixe Urbano founder Julio Vasconcellos in an interview with TechCrunch in July of last year. Vasconcellos stressed the Brazil-centric approach to the site's daily deals, noting the offerings include discounts on events and happy hours.
The majority of companies that have advertised through Promoted Trends are large U.S.-based brands. Promoted Trend buyers in the past week or so have included chain restaurants Papa John's and Subway, as well as Toyota USA, State Farm, and Twitter itself.
The Peixe Urbano Promoted Trend is distinctive in that the tweet associated with it is in Portuguese, a language spoken primarily in Brazil, Portugal, parts of South America and Africa. "Passeio de Trem 68% OFF mais uma #promodopeixe," reads the tweet, which advertises a 68 percent discount on train travel with Brazilian rail service Serra Verde Express. The trend promotes the hashtag #promodopeixe.
Even by mid-afternoon, there appeared to be confusion among Twitter users about what "promodopeixe" refers to. "Since most people don't know what it is, it results in them not seeing the connection of that [company] being a Twitter trend," Gustavo Razzetti, chief strategy and engagement officer at Grupo Gallegos, and a ClickZ Experts columnist, said via e-mail. "If you're not the Coca-Colas or Nikes of the world, be sure to let them know who you are and lead them somewhere for more info or have an incentive or offer for them."
Coincidentally, the only other non-English promoted trend was also in Portuguese and aimed at a Brazilian audience. It pushed Nike Corre Brasil, the shoemaker's Brazilian brand, according to the Twitter spokesperson, and used The corresponding hashtag, #NikeCorre, which means Nike run. Brazil is a big market for Twitter. According to comScore, the country had the second highest proportion of its Internet audience using Twitter – 20.5 percent – following Indonesia's 20.8 percent, as measured in June 2010.
Through its acquisition of ClubeUrbano, Groupon competes with Peixe Urbano – meaning urban fish – in Brazil. ClubeUrbano has been rebranded as Groupon in the country. Peixe Urbano's Promoted Trend purchase may have been, at least in part, intended to raise the company's profile outside Brazil as it competes with Groupon.
Peixe Urbano "has gone into very direct attacks on Groupon's presence in Brazil," noted Razzetti. "So my hypothesis on the Promoted Tweet is not that they are specifically targeting in Brazil, but increasing their reach, and awareness." He continued, "This is a good way of letting the world know there is more beyond these borders."

Absolutely right, people scares of investment! But, the good news is initially people can take their business online for free with the help of many amazing online tools like Google for business, Facebook page, Twitter, etc.. Most of the small business owners don't know about those tools. I think there is a lack of knowledge!

To be honest, I think the idea of the cost of it all scares many of them off.

I'm on a personal mission to help show them how simple it really is to build their own website for a fraction of the cost of hiring a web designer/consultant as it looks as if you are two.

Great article by the way, I think it's also still very important to add a local business to relevant online directories as these "mentions" can help give the business a little boost in the local map listings.

Thanks for the post!

This is an exciting and progressive leap forward for gaming in Nevada."

Dedicated hosting has a reputation for being incredibly expensive, and something that only larger businesses can afford. While this can be true, it is not necessarily the case and over the course of this article we shall explore what dedicated hosting is, as well as some of the different options and pricing as well.
What Is Dedicated Hosting?
When thinking of dedicated server hosting the first thing that comes to mind is that you would have an entire dedicated hosting server to yourself. I.e. no-one shares any of the resources of the server with you like you would get with shared hosting and VPS hosting. Typically, when ordering a dedicated hosting service, you would have full control over the hardware, and you would have full control over the server, including the operating system and other configuration.
Usually, the dedicated hosting server is rented from a data center or third-party provider, but many data centers also offer co-location. Co-location is where you own the server outright, but rent space in a server cabinet along with other features and services, such as bandwidth, backups, support, etc. Even the largest hosts will either rent or co-locate their servers in a third-party data center (see SiteGround for instance) For the purpose of this article, we will be discussing features of a rented dedicated hosting server.
Another type of dedicated hosting that is increasingly gaining traction is the sharing of a dedicated server. Essentially, this is where a host parcels up the resources of a high-powered server into smaller pieces. While this would appear similar to a VPS, the fundamental difference is that the resources are dedicated to the customer. While a server offering VPS may be oversold (i.e. more resources sold than the server has on the presumption that not everyone will use all their resources), a dedicated hosting plan would ensure no overselling, and that the resources are always available to the customer when required. In some cases, these will be called "Hybrid Hosting" (for example A Small Orange offers this), although some hosts may just call it dedicated hosting without referring to the fact the server is shared by multiple parties. An example of the latter is Hostgator.
A Closer Look at Dedicated Hosting Servers
To see how a dedicated server differs from other types of web hosting, an easy way is to take a look at the ordering process of a few different providers.
1. SoftLayer — Highly Configurable
SoftLayer offers Dedicated Hosting Servers with a very high degree of customization. They provide servers for many web hosts (such as SiteGround) as well as individuals and companies. With SoftLayer, you can choose from a large number of different dedicated hosting servers all varying in cost and CPU, and then continue to configure your exact requirements. Check out the video below (no sound) that quickly runs through the SoftLayer Ordering Process where the exact configuration of the dedicated server is carried out:
As you will see from the video there are a multitude of options to configure on your dedicated hosting server, such as:
- Server type — The prices vary from around $150 per month for a low specification server to over $1300 per month.
- Server Security — Configure firewalls (such as APF firewall for Linux, Hardware Firewall based on bandwidth, or Windows Firewall)
Amountof RAM — Choose from just a few GB RAM, or for an extra $960 per month get a massive 512GB RAM.
- Operating System — Choose from a multitude of operating systems, from the standard Centos or
Ubuntu ,to something more specialized such as CloudLinux or Parallels.
- Hard Drives — With web hosting the Hard Drive configuration is critical, not only to ensure responsiveness for the websites but to ensure data security. Many of the good websites will go for something called RAID 10. An example of Raid 10 is where you have four hard drives. 2 of the hard drives mirror the other two, so if you have
failureof one of the drives, you will not lose any data as there is always a live backup copy. Also, the two drives run in parallel, so that data is spread over the two drives so that retrieval of the data can be done by accessing both drives at the same time, doubling the retrieval speed. Couple this with SSD drives and then you have something extremely powerful. This is just one example though of many different types of configurations.
- Bandwidth — Choose your uplink port speeds and the amount of bandwidth your server needs. By customizing your plan to exactly what you need you can make sure you get the best value for your server.
- Software — Choose what software you want installing, from cPanel WHM Softaculous, as well as your choice of Database Software.
2. A Small Orange (or other Shared Hosting Provider that offers Dedicated Servers) — Less Configurable, but much cheaper with more support available
If you do not have much experience with Dedicated Servers, but you believe a dedicated server is
We will discuss the different types of management available later in this article, but for the purpose of this section we just want to imply that some hosts will provide a much more helpful service at the expense of limited more standardized offerings.
A Small Orange for example, just offers a choice of 4 different servers:
Of course, when you go to sign up you do get some limited choice of configuration, and choice of management options. The key thing, though, is that you have all the pertinent choices laid out for you, quite often at a very reasonable price. Also, all the backups are being taken care of, as well as server security (if you choose the management option). One great thing by going with a host that more specialized in Shared Hosting and VPS hosting is that their software support (to help you with cPanel and WHM queries) is included at no extra cost. Companies like Softlayer, on the other hand, would not offer this, and so might not be suitable for the more novice customer.
Management of Dedicated Server Hosting
Typically Dedicated Hosting comes with no management, save for hardware maintenance. This means you need to be fairly proficient with server management or have a system admin on staff. Many Dedicated Hosting Providers will offer varying degrees of management ranging anywhere from an extra $25 per month to several hundred dollars a month. The level of management and what it covers will vary, as will whether management includes proactive monitoring (i.e. they will deal with server issues without being prompted by your support inquiry).
Also, software support (i.e. WHM or cPanel support) may or may not be included, and therefore you are advised to choose your provider and associated services carefully. The following lists the different levels of support typically offered:
- Fully managed — Includes monitoring, software updates, reboots, security patches and operating system upgrades. Quite often the customer does not need to carry out any maintenance tasks at all.
- Managed — Includes medium level of management, monitoring, updates, and a limited amount of support. The customer may carry out changes to the server themselves if needed.
- Self-managed — Includes regular monitoring and some maintenance. Customers provide most operations and tasks on the dedicated server and is better suited to those who know what they are doing.
- Unmanaged — Little to no involvement from the service provider. Customers provide all maintenance, upgrades, patches, and security. This usually is the cheapest option, but you need extensive knowledge to run an unmanaged server successfully.
That being said, you will most likely find that hosts who primarily offer shared hosting, will offer the cheaper Dedicated Server solutions, as well as a higher degree of user, orientated support.
Not only that, but some hosts now offer a Hybrid dedicated solution. This is where a high-end server is divided between several users, each having dedicated resources of their share (unlike VPS Servers, where resources are shared and often oversold to some extent).
Quite often with Dedicated Solutions, you will need to create your own backup solutions which can increase the cost of the overall running of the server. You are advised to inquire whether backup storage is available, as well as consider off-site backups.
Is Dedicated Hosting Right for You?
This is a difficult question that only really you can answer once you know what is dedicated server hosting. Dedicated servers are usually used by those with a higher degree of knowledge and need a more complex hosting solution, whether because of the special configuration requirements, or levels of traffic and resources required.
A common misconception is that Dedicated Servers are more powerful than a VPS, but this is not always the case. Quite often a fully managed VPS using the latest and most powerful hardware can be much faster and more powerful than a cheap dedicated server, in addition to offering greater flexibility to enable you to scale up and down as required with more or fewer resources.
Usually, a VPS will also offer a greater degree of support, and for this reason, can be a better solution, especially if you are not confident of your technical ability. If you are looking for a VPS, we highly recommend A Small Orange, and you can read our review of their Cloud here.

Guest Post: Good News and Bad News on Motherhood
As I continued to think about what I wanted to do here on WBMW to honor mothers, I had this wonderful thought to reach out to some amazing LDS women that I've come to know online (some I've met), who also write, and invite them here, to share their thoughts about motherhood and being a woman, with you; so I did. You are in for a treat. Some you know, other you don't. I want to collectively thank them all, for their kind, immediate and incredibly enthusiastic response to my last-minute invitation. I've shed many tears, laughed out loud, and been profoundly enlightened by their teachings, as I have already read their words of wisdom.
Without further ado, I have decided to launch this honoring of mothers and womanhood with a bang! Which meant that I would begin this event with the one and only Dianne Hanks La Cour, known to many of you as Book of Mormon Reader! No one captivates an audience, or reads the BoM like Dianne! If you've never listened to her read a chapter on her nightly podcast, you are missing out. Dianne has a gift for finding what is relevant in the world today and connecting it to principles taught in the BoM. Your children will be captivated in this artistry and learn how to do this themselves.
Dear friends, Dianne Hanks La Cour, on motherhood...
By "Dazzling Dianne, Queen of Makeovers",
First, the bad news; Satan seethes with a deep-seeded hatred for celestial mothers. He desires to pluck away your children and your husband to destroy your family. If it weren't for you, his sinister plan would permeate the entire world even more than we see now. You can see his determination and the lengths to which he will go to positively annihilate any and all seeds or fruits of righteousness and goodness. As such, you are and must be suited up every single minute of every single day for war.

VANCOUVER, Canada--Greetings from Vancouver, where only one of the Sedin twins was on the ice for the Canucks' game-day skate in advance of Wednesday night's first-round playoff opener against the Kings.
Coach Alain Vigneault said afterward that Daniel Sedin, who has a concussion, won't play Wednesday. "This is a unique injury and you have to take it day by day," he said.
Vigneault also said he would not address reports in the Swedish media that Daniel had experienced headaches after skating on Monday. "We've got the total picture and we know what's going on. We're not going to share it," he said.
Speculation over Daniel Sedin's status had been rampant since he practiced on Monday but didn't practice on Tuesday. Brother Henrik Sedin declined to provide an update Wednesday after Daniel wasn't on the ice at Rogers Arena.

In the previous one decade, in India and over the globe where Indian masses live, the business of boutique has thrived quickly. In the content to tail, we will talk about some critical certainties in case you are truly eager to begin an Indian boutique in Brampton.
As a matter of first importance, settle on a name for your boutique. Select something that reflects the level of administration your customers can expect, the style of ladies' attire you offer, your identity or something chic and easy to recall. Select your business structure. A sole proprietorship is the simplest and minimum lavish business structure to build, and can be enrolled with an expected name testament at the concerned enlistment center's office. Companies and restricted risk organizations are other normal business structures that have specific implicit obligations insurance and are recorded with the Secretary of State's office.
The next venture to open an Indian boutique in Brampton is- compose a marketable strategy that blueprints where you plan to get stock, the amount of startup capital you require, your target audience, main rivals and your projections for future income. This arrangement ought to characterize your aggressive edge over different women boutiques and educate speculators of your development potential. Select your beginning stock from numerous wholesalers, design distribution centers, nearby architects or name brand outline houses in and around Brampton. Look into the expense and different profits of importing your attires from different nations or cities.
Area is the thing that does make a difference in the matter of starting an Indian boutique in Toronto. Select an area that gloats of prevalent shops and restaurants, which will draw in various individuals every day, or an area that offers a high volume of pedestrian activity amid operational hours. Your city's official site can offer demographic information that classifieds the city's areas by sex, instruction level, family status and that's only the tip of the iceberg. Utilize this data as a part of selecting a zone taking into account the ladies you wish to target.
Pick value focuses for your stock that are aggressive with different boutiques in your city. On the off chance, you decide to stock top of the line garments, then find out an evaluating structure that reflects the worth or one of a kind nature of your things. Ladies will pay more for things that are promoted as brilliant or uncommon. Get all fundamental testaments or grants from the city and state organization in which you'll open an Indian boutique in Toronto. Check pertinent zoning laws for your store area and get a business expense grant from the state admin.
Last but not the least, buy the installations, tables, seats, counters, in-store signage and open air blurbs expected to finish your store and present your dress and embellishments. Focus your routines for progressing ways of advertising. Put time and cash in online networking and SEO upkeep and buy brilliant fliers or promotions to circulate where your customer base will probably be, for example, spas, salons and other non-contending attire stores. Host an opening occasion with motivations, for example, giveaways, complimentary martinis and eatables, or coupons for premium things. Think about holding as a casual style show of your garments and adornments while welcoming customers, neighborhood designers and other group individuals.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer Quotes About HatredQuotes about: Hatred
The followers of Christ have been called to peace. . . . And they must not only have peace but make it. And to that end they renounce all violence and tumult. In the cause of Christ nothing is to be gained by such methods . . . . His disciples keep the peace by choosing to endure suffering themselves rather than inflict it on others. They maintain fellowship where others would break it off. They renounce hatred and wrong. In so doing they overcome evil with good, and establish the peace of God in the midst of a world of war and hate.
Christian love draws no distinction between one enemy and another, except that the more bitter our enemy's hatred, the greater his need of love. Be his enmity political or religious, he has nothing to expect from a follower of Jesus but unqualified love. In such love there is not inner discord between the private person and official capacity. In both we are disciples of Christ, or we are not Christians at all.
The love for our enemies takes us along the way of the cross and into fellowship with the Crucified. The more we are driven along this road, the more certain is the victory of love over the enemy's hatred. For then it is not the disciple's own love, but the love of Jesus Christ alone, who for the sake of his enemies went to the cross and prayed for them as he hung there.

Celebrants and skeptics alike have produced valuable analyses of the Internetas effect on us and our world, oscillating between utopian bliss and dystopian hell. But according to Robert W. McChesney, arguments on both sides fail to address the relationship between economic power and the digital world. McChesneyas award-winning Rich Media, Poor Democracy skewered the assumption that a society drenched in commercial information is a democratic one. In Digital Disconnect McChesney returns to this provocative thesis in light of the advances of the digital age, incorporating capitalism into the heart of his analysis. He argues that the sharp decline in the enforcement of antitrust violations, the increase in patents on digital technology and proprietary systems, and other policies and massive indirect subsidies have made the Internet a place of numbing commercialism. A small handful of monopolies now dominate the political economy, from Google, which garners an astonishing 97 percent share of the mobile search market, to Microsoft, whose operating system is used by over 90 percent of the worldas computers. This capitalistic colonization of the Internet has spurred the collapse of credible journalism, and made the Internet an unparalleled apparatus for government and corporate surveillance, and a disturbingly anti-democratic force. In Digital Disconnect Robert McChesney offers a groundbreaking analysis and critique of the Internet, urging us to reclaim the democratizing potential of the digital revolution while we still can.The quote isfromthereview ofthe book by Janet Maslin, aA Man Entrapped in a Host of Webs, a New York Times, Sept.25, 2011. 43.StephenMarche ...

For your Enchilada Sauce, you list, low sodium canned tomatoes, then later, say you, ADD 1/4 teasp. SALT.....??? We do not use salt, never, and I only buy, no salt canned tomatoes. Dietitian comment: The salt is optional if you do not want to use it. For a person new to a low sodium diet a small amount of salt can make the recipe more palatable.
Can I use fresh tomatoes, instead of canned? Dietitian comment: Yes you can start with 14 ounces fresh tomato and see how it turns out. You may need to adjust the amount.
when i boiled my chicken with half onion, 2 tbsp. minced garlic i threw in seedless jalapeno once tender i took the jalapeno added to sauce with 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp minced garlic with the other ingredients for the sauce, it was not spicy at all but had more flavor.
This is a good enchilada sauce, if you add cumin as suggested. I added about a teaspoon and used my stick blender to to make the sauce a smooth consistency. Went well with the chicken enchiladas!
I probably would have rated the recipe as written lower than this. We modified the recipe based on other reviewer comments, our preferences, and what my diet would allow. Our version was slightly higher in potassium. We used a huge glove of garlic instead of garlic powder. We omitted the salt. We used 2 scant teaspoons of chili powder and added 1 teaspoon of cumin. We could probably increase the chili powder and cumin more.
This one really missed the mark for us. Something was definitely missing, so I looked up other enchilada sauce recipes and they all call for cumin. I will add some next time. Also, the enchiladas were very dry.
i'm new to kidney disease my mom just started dialysis and i've been searching to find a good cook book that will help me make better choices for her. Can anyone help. I thought tomatoes were a no no
Im confused I thought tomatoes were not allowed on the menu Moderator comment: It's all about balance and portion size. If your potassium is well controlled you can include small amounts of tomato and tomato products on a low potassium diet.1/4 cup of this sauce is equal to having one serving of vegetables so you would count this as one of the vegetable choices in your meal plan.
Bore no resemblance to any enchilada sauce I've ever had. All I could taste were tomatoes. Did not make enough to adequately cover the chicken enchiladas. Would not recommend.
hi I cant have any Red sauce or tomatoes what Can I use instead ? Moderator comment: Check out the Sauces and Seasoning recipes on DaVita.com. You could make a white sauce with the White Gravy recipe or try Chimichurri Sauce or one of the Salsa recipes as a replacement for the red sauce.
Used tomatillos instead of tomatoes. Rich and flavorful sauce. Moderator comment: tomatillos are a bit higher in potassium but still acceptable. This substitution will add about 40 mg potassium per 1/4 cup serving.
good, fast, and easy!

Organisation of content in your web pages can be a major factor in getting your readers' attention to go through the pages, if the web page content is organised in a proper manner, readers will not feel reluctant to complete the entire page on the first glance.
Apart from writing in a natural flow of language, readers tend to feel reluctant to go through long paragraphs of text and long page of content, other than breaking your long pages to smaller pages, break your text in each small web page to short paragraphs. Readers will feel more comfortable to go through short paragraphs, and easier to absorb the points given in the short text.
Apart from short paragraphs, be sure to include a header for each important section or between main points in the web page, this is a good way to have a short break for readers to digest the paragraphs just read, as well as a good way to re-emphasis the main points within the page.

As another day passes in the seemingly interminable inquest into the death of Diana, I am sure that I am not alone in losing patience with Mohamed Fayed.
Fayed (the Al- prefix is an honorific like the German Von- which he is not entitled to use) has over the years been repeatedly condemned as a dishonest and rather brutal individual who tends to use threats and bluster as part of his normal business. His illegal dismissals of staff at Harrods for example have, on more than one occasion, seen him condemned by the British legal system over several years. Therefore the tragic loss of his son has not been the cause of his erratic and generally poor behaviour, though of course it may have accentuated it.
Having had his day in court over the death of Diana and his playboy son Dodi, Fayed has made a number of very serious allegations about a very large number of people.
If the Inquest finds that Diana and Dodi were not in fact murdered, then I for one sincerely hope that all of those whose name Fayed has attempt to blacken, sue him. In particular the allegations that Fayed made against the bodyguard, Trevor Rees Jones and Kelly Fisher, Dodi's former girlfriend, were outrageous and disgusting- all the more so since these seemingly blameless people seem to have been more the victims of Fayed and less able to defend themselves.
Indeed in my opinion I think that should the verdict of the inquest prove to be accidental death, then criminal charges should be brought against this odious man. If due process establishes that Fayed is a liar, then personally I would not want to have this vile, pathetic excuse for a human being in our country. The insults he has made against our Royal house, were they not so completely laughable, should not only render him ineligible for citizenship- he should be thrown out.
