Though an earlier measure of private-sector employment showed robust December job growth, the Bureau of Labor Statistics today reported U.S. employers added 155,000 jobs last month, maintaining the year's steady hiring pace and holding the unemployment rate at 7.8 percent.
"This still looks like a slow and steady recovery, as we're not seeing enough jobs come back to take a big bite out of the unemployment rate," said Kurt W. Rotthoff, assistant professor of economics and finance at the Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University. "We're moving in the right direction, but not quickly enough."
While Labor said 47,000 fewer jobs were created in October than it originally reported, November's employment number was revised upward, from 146,000 jobs to 161,000 jobs. But the revised two-month employment gain of 298,000 jobs falls below the 330,000 jobs Labor first said were added to the national economy in October and November.
With today's revisions, the pace of hiring in 2012 matched employment growth in 2011, as the economy gained an average of 153,000 jobs per month throughout both years, Labor reported.
Moody's Analytics chief economist Mark Zandi, who co-authors a private-sector employment report with Roseland-based Automatic Data Processing, said that pace won't change in the months ahead, but Rotthoff expects job creation to improve in early 2013, with fiscal uncertainties starting to dissolve and the nation's housing market showing signs of recovery.
"The best news is there wasn't a big fear of the fiscal cliff in the jobs data, and people are starting to step out into areas where they've been cautious for the last few years," Rotthoff said. "Now that businesses have more knowledge on new tax rates for 2013, hopefully we'll see hiring start ticking up."
According to Labor, the private sector added 168,000 jobs in December, while the public sector shed 13,000 jobs, mostly at the local government level. Though employment growth in the goods-producing sector continues to lag the service-providing industry, the construction and manufacturing sectors increased payrolls by a combined 55,000 jobs last month.
Other industry sectors that recorded significant job growth for the month include education and health services, with 65,000 jobs; leisure and hospitality, with 31,000 jobs; and professional and business services, with 19,000 jobs.

- 1.2 Have a plan
- 1.3 Getting Console (Telnet) Access with acp_commander
- 1.4 Securing
- 1.5 Create a startup script & config for sshd.

- 2 Other Methods
Georg's acp-commander Method
I just bought another LS(Live) & wanted to have it open (SSH), as close to a stock firmware box as I could for testing. There are a few fixes that should be added too.
I'll be referencing a few links to a few wiki/web articles as long as some user posts. Hopefully this will cover most of what is needed. As always I'm human & can make some mistakes. If you see anything that seems a bit odd, change it.
WARNING.. Do this at your own risk.
Have a plan
- Research is always the best way to go.
- Get all the doumentation you need available.
- Understand what your going to do. No point in getting halfway through a job, only to get stuck/lost.
- Make sure you have the software/tools available to carry out the job.
- Probably the most important part... BACKUP, you don't want to lose your important data/system files.
- If unsure read again, check the wiki, search the forum.... then post.
- Firmware version 1.3.5 appears to break acpcommander, do not upgrade to 1.35 till the issue is resolved.
Getting Console (Telnet) Access with acp_commander
- Read the http://downloads.nas-central.org/TOOLS/ALL_LS_KB_ARM9/ACP_COMMANDER/README Make sure you understand what the acp_commander is for & how you can use it.
- Download http://downloads.nas-central.org/TOOLS/ALL_LS_KB_ARM9/ACP_COMMANDER/acp_commander.jar to somewhere you will remember.
- Get console access, dos, terminal, shell it doesn't really matter as long as you can execute the java command.
- cd to the directory where you saved acp_commander.jar
- Disable your firewall temporarily. (If applicable)
Enter the following (Replacing <IP ADDRESS> with the IP Address of your Linkstation)
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <IP ADDRESS> -o
You should see something along the lines of:
Using random connID VALUE = FB6A7FCF57E6 Using target: 192.168.1.11/192.168.1.11 (your IP address) ** NO message ** ** NO message ** Password changed.
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <IP ADDRESS> -o -addons
This will install the addons package now.
This may not happen straight away. However I have only ever had to do it a maximum of twice.
Your Linkstation should now have the telnet daemon enabled. User "root" will have a null (Blank) root password, until you change it. The telnet daemon will be available until you reboot your Linkstation.
- Enable your firewall. (If applicable)
Now you can login to your Linkstation with telnet.
Connect with Telnet
Enter the following (Replacing <IP ADDRESS> with the IP Address of your Linkstation)
telnet <IP ADDRESS>
and login with "root" No password should be asked.
Linkstation Quad with Firmware >= 1.10
If the telnet attempt results in "connection refused", try this:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -pw <admin password> -t <quad's IP address> -ip <quad's IP address> -o
Use the admin password which is valid for the web interface. After logging in, you will need to go into the Linkstation's web page, onto the network page, and re-enable DHCP to be able access the net from your linkstation. This will restart the network service (which will pause your telnet session for 10-20 seconds, dont panic, it will come back). Source: http://forum.buffalo.nas-central.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=14651
Bypassing Telnet altogether
If you fail to get access via telnet you can use the -c option to set root password with acp_commander:
java -jar acp_commander.jar -t <IP Address> -c "(echo <pass>;echo <pass>)|passwd"
Replace <IP Address> with the IP address of your TS and <pass> with password you want. You can now login via ssh as root using your new password.
- First thing you want to do is set the root password & secure your Linkstation from unwanted users.
Enter the following.
You will be promted with the following.
Changing password for root Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 20 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. Enter new password:
Enter your new password, press enter. You will be then prompted with:
Re-enter new password:
Re-enter your new password. Press enter. If your passwords match (C'mon it aint hard), you will get the following notifiction:
Password changed.
- Please also note that users created via the Web Admin are also shell users. The guest user has an invalid password, but you should definitely change the default admin password and any other trivial account passwords if you plan to expose the SSH port to the Internet.
Create a startup script & config for sshd.
- If you want to leave telnet as the preferred way of connecting then you don't have to do this. Skip to section: Adding Telnet/SSHD to your start up script (rcS)
- The stock firmware does have the sshd binaries included. The following section will allow you to create a startup script for this.
- Read the Vi text editor tutorial, http://nas-central.org/index.php/Vi_text_editor_tutorial
- We will use vi to create & edit the '/etc/init.d/sshd.sh' startup script. (This script does not exist in stock, no backup needed)
- If you have firmware 1.56 or 1.57, the /etc/init.d/sshd.sh already exists and does not need to be modified. Update /etc/nas_feature and set SUPPORT_SFTP=1 instead of SUPPORT_SFTP=0.
Type in the following:
vi /etc/init.d/sshd.sh
You will then be taken into the text editor. Press i, to get into Insert mode. Enter the following code (valid for all versions, Verified with version 1.06 and 1.33):
#! /bin/sh # # Start/stop the SSH daemon. # test -f /usr/local/sbin/sshd || exit 0 # this is used by daemonwatch (since fw 1.11-1a) ACTIVE_FILE=/var/run/active_sshd case "$1" in start) echo "Start service: sshd" /usr/local/sbin/sshd -f /etc/sshd_config touch ${ACTIVE_FILE} ;; stop) echo "Stop service: sshd" killall sshd rm -f ${ACTIVE_FILE} ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: $0 start|stop|restart" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0
Press Esc to exit Insert mode. Then enter :wq (colon wq) to exit vi.
This is also the proper script to use with an LS Live (HS-DHxxxGL) on stock firmware version 2.11.
We need to make sure that this file is executable we will do this with chmod http://www.penguin-soft.com/penguin/man/1/chmod.html
Enter the following:
chmod 0755 /etc/init.d/sshd.sh
Now we need to create the config. I will use an example of a basic config to allow you access. You can add the relevant sections you want. More info can be found http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config There already exists a config file for sshd, this has nothing enabled. We will make a backup copy of this before editing. Enter the following:
cp /etc/sshd_config /etc/sshd_config.bak
Use vi to edit the config file.
vi /etc/sshd_config
Make sure that the file has the following changed/uncommented:
port 22 Protocol 2,1 PermitRootLogin yes StrictModes yes Subsystem sftp /usr/local/libexec/sftp-server
Exit Vi.
Then test that your startup script & config work by entering the following.
/etc/init.d/sshd.sh start
Assuming that you have no errors all is fine. You can now login to your Linkstation with your ssh client.
If the sshd does not start and reports something like this:
Could not load host key: /etc/apache/server.key Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
try changing the following lines in /etc/sshd_config:
HostKey /etc/ssh_host_key UsePAM no
This worked for me on a LinkStation Quad v1.11
HostKey file can be generated by
ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/ssh_host_key
Adding Telnet/SSHD to your start up script (rcS).
- Backup before editing.
The file for editing will be '/etc/init.d/rcS' this has all the init scripts defined for startup. Make a backup of this by entering the following:
cp /etc/init.d/rcS /etc/init.d/rcS.bak
Edit this with Vi
vi /etc/init.d/rcS
To enable telnet at startup, uncomment the line if it exists (Does exist in some earlier firmwares).
# /usr/sbin/telnetd
so it looks like
If it doesn't exist, add it just before "** step3 **" like
# telnetd for debug /usr/sbin/telnetd echo "** step3 **"
- If you have taken the option to enable sshd you can add the sshd.sh to this file also.
I prefer to keep the file as close to default as possible I will add it to the same section (step 3) as stock. Add sshd.sh before daemonwatch.sh, that's the line containing (This is for LS-Live, Pro has less scripts to start)
echo "** step3 **" for cmd in micon_setup.sh ... clientUtil_servd.sh lsprcvd.sh daemonwatch.sh cron.sh ltbootd.sh logchkd.sh do exec_sh $cmd done
Like So:
echo "** step3 **" for cmd in micon_setup.sh ... clientUtil_servd.sh lsprcvd.sh sshd.sh daemonwatch.sh cron.sh ltbootd.sh logchkd.sh do exec_sh $cmd done
Exit vi
Optional Files & Fixes
Time discrepancies
Some might notice in their logs that there are some errors with backups, system time etc. The reason for this is the hardware clock is not updated by sytem time. The file time_set.sh is missing. http://bugtracker.nas-central.org/view.php?id=113 This can be resolved by creating a symlink to set_time.sh
ln -s /usr/local/bin/set_time.sh /usr/local/bin/time_set.sh
By default in the stock firmware /dev/null is only accessible to root. http://bugtracker.nas-central.org/view.php?id=86 Change the permissions for /dev/null for all user access:
chmod 0666 /dev/null
When logging in as a non root user, The error "Permission denied" will be displayed. http://bugtracker.nas-central.org/view.php?id=87 Change the permissions for /etc/profile for all user access:
chmod 0644 /etc/profile
Addon Files.
To add some extra files namely wget, su & joe. Download: http://downloads.nas-central.org/Uploads/OldUploads/LS_Pro_temporary/Binaries/addons.tar and transfer it to a share. cd to wherever you transferred it to & execute:
tar -C / -xzvf addons.tar
Set the suid bit on su:
chmod 4755 /bin/su
Note: If you have a LS Live or running firmware 1.10 or above you will need to download libproc, this is not included with the above. http://downloads.nas-central.org/Users/kaiten/libproc-3.2.6_arm9.tgz
tar -C / -xzvf libproc-3.2.6_arm9.tgz ldconfig -v
Full version of ps
The version of ps that is supplied is extremely limited, to get the full version.
Backup the original:
mv /bin/ps /bin/ps.bak
Download the newer version:
cd /bin/ wget http://downloads.nas-central.org/Uploads/OldUploads/LS_Pro_temporary/Binaries/ps
Make new ps executable:
chmod a+x /bin/ps
Note: If you have a LS Live or running firmware 1.10 or above you will need to download libproc, this is not included with the above. http://downloads.nas-central.org/Users/kaiten/libproc-3.2.6_arm9.tgz
tar -C / -xzvf libproc-3.2.6_arm9.tgz ldconfig -v
Daemonwatch.. Adding sshd.
For those that have taken the option to have sshd as their preferred way of connecting to their Linkstation. sshd can be added to the daemonwatch list, if it falls over for any reason it will be respawned.
Backup '/etc/daemonwatch.list'
cp /etc/daemonwatch.list /etc/daemonwatch.list.bak
Add the sshd pid & startup script to it.
Pre 1.11-1a Firmware
/var/run/apache/httpd.pid /etc/init.d/httpd.sh restart /var/run/smbd.pid /etc/init.d/smb.sh restart /var/run/clientUtil_server-eth0.pid /etc/init.d/clientUtil_servd.sh restart /var/run/sshd.pid /etc/init.d/sshd.sh restart
Then restart the daemonwatch process.
/etc/init.d/daemonwatch.sh restart
To test.. spawn telnet as a backup for access.
Then stop sshd:
/etc/init.d/sshd.sh stop
You should then be disconnected from your ssh session. The daemonwatch process should have detected that sshd has stopped & restarted. You should now be able to log back in.. However if not.. You have your telnet access to fall back on & investigate. In '/var/log/linkstation.log' you should see the following entry.
Jul 29 10:56:55 HS-320 daemonwatch: pid [/var/run/sshd.pid] does not exist
1.11-1a Firmware
Verified procedure with version 1.33.
/var/run/apache/httpd.pid /var/run/active_httpd /etc/init.d/httpd.sh restart /var/run/smbd.pid /var/run/active_smb /etc/init.d/smb.sh restart /var/run/clientUtil_server-eth0.pid /var/run/active_clientUtil_server /etc/init.d/clientUtil_servd.sh restart /var/run/sshd.pid /var/run/active_sshd /etc/init.d/sshd.sh restart
Then restart the daemonwatch process.
/etc/init.d/daemonwatch.sh restart
To test.. spawn telnet as a backup for access.
Then stop sshd:
killall sshd
You should then be disconnected from your ssh session. The daemonwatch process should have detected that sshd has stopped & restarted. You should now be able to log back in.. However if not.. You have your telnet access to fall back on & investigate. In '/var/log/messages' you should see the following entry.
Sep 6 08:57:15 LSPRO daemonwatch[874]: pid [/var/run/sshd.pid] does not exist
Lastlog Errors.
You may get some errors when logging in with ssh etc. 'var/log/lastlog' does not exist. Lastlog entries are never entered.
Aug 4 13:27:00 LS-250GL sshd[20020]: lastlog_perform_login: Couldn't stat /var/log/lastlog: No such file or directory Aug 4 13:27:00 LS-250GL sshd[20020]: lastlog_openseek: /var/log/lastlog is not a file or directory!
To get rid of the lastlog errors.
touch /var/log/lastlog chmod 0744 /var/log/lastlog
Now when you login you should get the last login message when logging in.
Last login: Sat Aug 4 14:23:20 2007 from xyz.localdomain
TTY Errors.
Look at '/var/log/messages'. If you see messages like:
Mar 6 05:31:32 LS-250GL sshd[21868]: error: open /dev/tty failed - could not set controlling tty: Permission denied
Change permissions of '/dev/tty'
chmod a+w /dev/tty
There is an bootstrapping script that allows you to install ipkg on arm-based devices with stock firmware: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Ipkg_on_the_Linkstation_(for_end-users)#ARM

Other Methods
We have successfully managed to create a telnet-enabled firmware for the LS-GL. Fortunately for us, the LS-GL already came with a telnet binary in the stock firmware. Telnet can be enabled by uncommenting line 42 in /etc/init.d/rcS and repackaging hddrootfs.
There is a pre-made telnet enabled firmware available at here.
Note: The above firmware package does enable root access.
Removing Root Password
There are two known successful ways for removing the root password. You can use the "manual method" or uses a special "clearroot" method (The telnet enabled firmware contains the "clearroot" method). Possibly a third method is to use the firmware updater's debug tags.
Manual Method
The general idea is to open connect the sata drive to a desktop running a linux distribution (i.e. Knoppix or Ubuntu). Then remove root password in /etc/shadow.
Detailed Steps
1) Connect the hard drive to a pc running Linux (i.e. Knoppix boots directly from cd/dvd)
2) Find out how it was recognized. (i.e. in Knoppix there are some shortcuts on the desktop).
3) Open a shell/commandline/terminal.
4) Mount the second partition of the sata hdd to somewhere.
5) Delete everything on the partition
6) Download the telnet enabled hddrootfs.img located in this zip
7) Unzip hddrootfs.img...you will be prompted for a password. it is:
8) Untar the resulting file to the second partition:
tar xzvf <file> <path_where_you_mounted_the_second_partition>
9*) mount /dev/sda1 (assuming the sata drive is the first special drive connected on the pc) somewhere
- extract conf_saved.tgz, remove password in etc/shadow to look like:
10*) re-tar the contents of conf_saved.tgz, replace conf_saved.tgz to /dev/sda1, umount
(*)These steps still need to be tested further!!!
- Steps originally drafted by mindbender.
Heinz' Script Method
Heinz made a script to automatically convert a downloaded stock firmware into a telnet enabled firmware with root access. The script is made for the German firmware. The script is available here. Heinz also made a pre-made firmware package with his script. It can be downloaded here.
- Testing Needed
The script mainly does the following things:
- retrieving the actual firmware update from the buffalo site.
- unzip the archive to a tmp directory
- modify linkstation_version, because the updater only updates "newer" firmwares. It seems this can be overwritten in the debug mode (see georg's changes)
- for modifing the installed image. it is unzipped (using the current password)
- then to start the (already installed) telnetd, some comments in the rcS script are removed.
- because the password of the root login is not known, it needs to be removed. Modifing /etc/shadow had not worked, so currently we change the web interface, which runs with root permissions, to do it for us.
- reverse the whole zip/tar process to create a useable firmware update again.
Georg's Script Method
Georg modified Heinz' automatic script. For those with access, the script it is available in LS_Pro Temporary Upload Folder for Telnet Enabled Firmwares The script untars the firmware, sets the current dates in linkstation_version.txt (allows exchange of kernel etc.) and adds the debug flag for LSUpdater.exe. Further telnetd is started during boot and the web interface scripts are altered in order to clear the root password when "creating" user 'clearroot'. Thanks to MartinP, the latest version uses the correct path to passwd (/usr/sbin). It also offers command line parameters to exchange kernel, uboot and untar an additional tar file into the root file system (see option -h).
- Testing Needed
Run the script as user root, if the zipped firmware file is not present, the script tries to get it from buffalos server. If you don't want the script to delete the temporary directory (e.g. to directly run LSUpdater.exe or for further modifications) add option -d.

Thanks for the reply. But when I said "he" I was actually enquiring about Goenka, not the Buddha.
'Dhammā' here is defined in the Anguttara commentary as the five aggregates, not "dhamma practices."Element wrote:In AN X.58, the Buddha said: "All dhamma practises converge on feelings". This is like the saying: "All roads lead to Rome".
Best wishes,
Dhammanando Bhikkhu

Citing an unprofitable cost structure and a lack of finances to survive an extended nationwide strike, Hostess Brands Inc. today announced it will go out of business and permanently close its plants, lay off most of its 18,500 workers and attempt to sell its assets — which include a bakery and distribution center, and possibly a number of bakery outlet stores in New Jersey.
The maker of Twinkies, Ho Hos and Wonder Bread permanently closed three of its 36 plants Nov. 12 as a result of the Bakery, Confectionary, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union's national strike, which began Nov. 9, after the bakers union rejected changes to its collective bargaining agreements imposed by a bankruptcy judge.
Hostess said Wednesday it would be forced to liquidate if a sufficient number of workers did not return to work by 5 p.m. Thursday. The Irvine, Texas-based company determined last night it would be unable to restore normal operations, so it filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court seeking permission to dissolve its business and sell its baked goods brands and facilities.
"We deeply regret the necessity of today's decision, but we do not have the financial resources to weather an extended nationwide strike," Hostess CEO Gregory F. Rayburn said in a statement.
Rayburn said the company has already started discharging most of its 18,500 workers and seeking bidders for its 33 bakeries, 565 distribution centers and 570 bakery outlet stores throughout the United States. That effort includes shuttering a facility in Wayne that employs 550 bakers, drivers and support staff members, a spokesman for Hostess said. The spokesman said the company is also closing down a bakery in Philadelphia with 347 employees — many of whom reside just across the Delaware River in New Jersey.
The spokesman did not immediately know how many bakery outlet stores Hostess operated in New Jersey prior to today's announcement, but before the company's website was shut down this morning, it listed an outlet location in Trenton.
The company said it will allow all of its retail stores to remain open for several days to sell the Hostess products on their shelves, though its bakery operations have been permanently suspended.
Hostess's debtor-in-possession lenders have given it access to the $75 million financing facility that was put in place at the start of its bankruptcy cases to fund its closure and sale, though the spokesman said it is not yet known what portion of that funding will be funneled to shuttering the company's New Jersey operations.

Visit our web site for more info on vintage and current
baseball, football, basketball, hockey, sports and
non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 1)
Common - any card which is not short-printed, an insert, a bonus card, or has an insertion ratio. In short, the cards that comprise the manufacturer's basic set.
Condition - the physical appearance of a card/collectible. Centering, corner wear, photo clarity, edges, the presence of foreign material, signs of misuse are the critical components. Along with rarity/scarcity, it is a major factor in determining the value of a card or collectible.
Crease - an obvious paper wrinkle defect usually caused by bending the card [i.e.- the result of being tortured on a rear-wheel bicycle spoke during the early '50s and '60s].
Die-Cut - an insert/parallel card that differs from the basic card by a process of the manufacturer "cutting" portions of the card revealing a special design. Recent issues may also be individually and serially-numbered.
1952,1953,1954,1955 Red Man TOBACCORed Man Tobacco issued baseball cards in 1952, 1953, 1954 and 1955, making them the only tobacco company to do so since 1920. The cards are very attractive with a large, painted portrait and a short player's bio on the front. On the back is company advertising. 1/2" tabs at the bottom of each card could be exchanged for a prize. The exchange rate was 50 tabs for one free Big League style baseball cap. Thus, cards with the tabs still intact are much, much, harder to find making them more valuable.
Without the tabs it is difficult to determine which year certain players were issued. It is usually easiest to determine the year by looking at the expiration date on the back. Subtract 1 from the expiration year to determine the year of the card.
Each set is made up of 25 players from each league all personally selected by Editor J.G. Taylor Spink of the "Sporting News". Managers from each league were included in the 1952 and 1953 sets. The 1954 set had four different variations. If you ignore the many variations of the expiration dates, that brings the total to only 208 cards to complete your Master Red Man Tobacco Baseball Card Set !!! Start collecting now !

1971 O-Pee-Chee BaseballAlso referred to as OPC or Topps Canada, most vintage OPC sets were near replicas of the Topps cards from that year. Exactly same in design they usually only differed with the addition of French to the backs and some fronts.
To the benefit of collector's OPC made several changes in their 1971 set. The most obvious and useful was a complete redesign of the card backs and the addition of another player photo ! Additionly, over 20 cards were changed including the inclusion of what could be considered the first "Traded" cards. Another difference: Topps cards #202 and #289 were changed to allow the addition of 2 more Expos to the set.
The 1971 OPC set is legendary for its short print run, estimated at perhaps just 5% of Topps' Production. This issue is considered quite elusive, even in Canada.

I absolutely am in love with this purchase. It has been worn a few times already and has held up great after each wash with no fading, loss of shape or pealing. This graphic works best I think against the grey I chose. Love that this artist represents the beautiful diversity of our Puerto Rican culture. This image resonates with me being that I am Puerto Rican of mostly African descent. Thank you Ida Yvette Robles for representing all of us Boricuas!

This item arrived stained and dingy. The t-shirt itself has a stain on it and the color is absolutely nothing like the photo. The product detail has my image on a white tank top; however, the tank top that arrived looks like it was washed with a bunch of brown clothes and has a dirty look to it, aside from the stain. I took a picture of a Gildan white t-shirt I own (thats been washed several times already) with the tank top I received to show how dingy the tank looks. I've opened a ticket regarding a refund or replacement on this item and still have yet to hear back from anyone. Yet again, not a good first impression for this company.

Healthful Recipes for 2013
It's that time of year when many of us make a resolution to start the year by eating in a more healthful way. Whether by reducing fat, eliminating gluten or extracting the most vitamins and minerals from produce through juicing or blending, healthful eating is more than a fleeting New Year's resolution. It's here to stay.
To help you get into the swing of creating healthful recipes for yourself, friends and family, we have three recipes from folks who speak with authority on this subject, Jaden Hair of Steamy Kitchen and Seamus Mullen from Tertulia. Both Jaden and Seamus have written books that incorporate these ideals and they have each shared recipes with us. In fact, Seamus also has shared a video demonstrating how to prepare his recipe using a Breville juicer.
Chef Seamus Mullen's
Gazpacho with
Malpeque Oysters
Serves 4
- 1 bunch of celery, juiced
- 3 English cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and juiced
- 1 cup honeydew melon, juiced
- 1 shallot, finely minced
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 English cucumber finely diced
- 1 lemon, juice and zest
- 4 tablespoons champagne vinegar
- 4 leaves of basil torn into small pieces
- 16 fresh oysters, shucked and taken out of the shell
- Sprigs of dill to garnish
- Kosher salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste
- Arbequina olive oil to finish
Eat well in 2013 with Seamus Mullen's Hero Food!
© Seamus Mullen
Combine cucumber and celery juice, season with kosher salt, add lemon zest, lemon juice, shallot and grated garlic.
In 4 chilled bowls, distribute diced cucumber and top each bowl with 4 oysters removed from the shell.
Cover with celery gazpacho. Drizzle with Arbequina olive oil and garnish with basil and dill. Serve immediately.
Makes 24
- ½ pound flank or sirloin steak
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or gluten-free tamari
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
- 24 rice crackers
- ½ cup prepared kimchi
- 1 green onion, very thinly sliced on the diagonal
Jaden Hair's
Korean Beef Bites
Many Korean meals are very meat centric - bulgogi (thin sliced ribeye) and kalbi (marinated short ribs) are two favorites. We switched the fatty ribeye to lean flank steak. I also cut the amount of sugar in the marinade. The bite-sized meat is grilled then placed on top of a crunchy gluten-free rice cracker, then topped with a spicy kimchi for a super-flavorful appetizer.
Slice the steak as thin as you can into at least 24 pieces. If you are using flank steak, make sure to slice across the grain. In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Add the steak and mix to coat. Marinate for at least 10 minutes at room temperature or up to 24 hours in the refrigerator.
Heat a grill pan over high heat. You'll cook the steak in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. When the pan is hot, add the steak, and grill 1 to 2 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of your slices.
To serve, layer a slice of steak on each rice cracker, top with kimchi and garnish with green onion.

Serves 4
- 2 teaspoons cooking oil
- ½ onion, diced
- ¼ pound ground turkey, chicken, lean ground beef, or pork
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- ½ cup vegetable stock
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 14 ounces firm tofu, diced
- 2 cups frozen peas and carrots
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (or other thickener of your choice)
- 1 green onion, chopped
- Hot chili sauce
Jaden Hair's Mapo Tofu
The Mapo Tofu is made with only 1/4 pound of lean ground turkey (vs. 1 full pound fatty ground pork) and I've cut back drastically on the use of cornstarch to thicken the sauce. This recipe features tofu, peas and carrots, so it's full of vegetables.
Heat a sauté pan or wok over medium-high heat. When hot, swirl in the oil, add the onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until onion is softened and translucent. Add the meat and use your spatula to stir and break up.
When the meat begins to lose its pink color, add the garlic and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the stock and oyster sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the tofu and peas and carrots. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the water and cornstarch. Stir this mixture into the pan and let cook for 2 minutes longer. Stir in the green onions and season with the hot sauce, to taste. Serve immediately.

(part 2)
In hockey, there were a few sets issued in the 1910's and while O-Pee-Chee issued some sets in the 1930's, the real modern sets began in 1951 with the itroduction of Parkhurst's first set.
In racing, while cards go back as far as the early Indy car days of 1911, modern racing sets began in 1988 with the issues released by MAXX.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

1963 Topps StickersAnother of the interesting Topps Issues of the 1960's !
Topps inserted these Stick-Ons (stickers) in several of series of their 1963 Topps baseball cards. Interestingly, the Stick-On inserts were not mentioned or advertised on wax pack wrappers in 1963.
The complete 1963 Topps Stick-Ons set is packed with HALL-OF-FAMERS and contains 46 stickers measuring 1-1/4" x 2-3/4". The Stick-Ons come in 2 distinct variations. They can be found either with instructions printed on the back or the much scarcer blank-back variation.
The Stick-Ons have with an approx. 3/16" "white" band running left to right across the mug shot. This band appears to be lighter than the printing above and below it. Theory is that it is an aging effect caused by the backing strip.
TOP STARS: Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente, Hank Aaron, Sandy Koufax, Stan Musial, Al Kaline, Carl Yastrzemski, Ernie Banks and tons MORE !!!

ADRIAN — When just a handful of musicians — a string quartet, say — sit down together to play chamber music, how exactly do they decide how to play it with no conductor to set tempo and dynamics and things like that? How do they agree on what to do, and how do they bring their various instruments' voices together into one unit?
The next Adrian Symphony Orchestra Casual Classic concert "pulls back the curtain," as it were, on the collaborative process that is chamber music with twin performances featuring the Beaumont String Quartet. The performances, which the ASO has titled "4=1, A String Quartet's Challenge," are at 8 p.m. on both Friday, Jan. 25, and Saturday, Jan. 26, at Father Williams Hall, St. Joseph's Church, Adrian.
Tickets are $25 for adults and $23 for senior citizens, and are available by calling the ASO at 264-3121, at www.adriansymphony.org, or at the venue each concert evening beginning at 6 p.m.
Casual Classic concerts feature casual dress, table seating and a cash bar that includes beer, wine and soft drinks. Groups of six or more may reserve tables in advance.
The concerts' title arose from the very nature of string-quartet playing.
"The point of this concert is to explore what it means to play chamber music, which is to say ensemble playing in which everyone is a soloist," said ASO Music Director John Thomas Dodson.
"When each part has only one player, you have a lot of issues to address. So, when we created the program and called it 4=1, it meant 'You have four people, playing four parts. At the end it has to be ONE thing.'"
Dodson approached the Beaumont String Quartet, which was founded in 2008 by ASO cellist Stefan Koch, because "I tried to think about who in the (ASO) was playing a lot of chamber music with a single group — spending a lot of time in the process of preparing and performing music, not just for educational concerts, but for public performances," he said.
Then, because of the nature of a Casual Classic performance, which blends making music and conveying information, "we needed a mix between good musicians, a long-standing ensemble, and really verbal people who could think on their feet when I throw them a curve during the program," said Dodson, who will engage the group in a question-and-answer format in addition to having them play. "I'm confident this string quartet can meet that challenge."
When Koch decided he wanted to start his own quartet, he began his search for fellow ensemble members with Susan Schreiber, who is the ASO's principal second violinist but also has extensive experience playing viola. "Finding a violist is often the hardest part," he said.
Then, as the pair discussed whom to approach for the two violin slots, the same two names arose: Priscilla Johnson and Judith Teasdle, both of whom have also performed with the ASO. "It just showed me that Susan and I were on the same wavelength," Koch said.
And that sense of "being on the same wavelength" is one of the essential components of performing as a chamber ensemble like the Beaumont String Quartet. One of the things the Casual Classic audience will learn is how chamber music is by necessity "a more consensual process" than music performed by an orchestra and a conductor.
Without a conductor, "who do you ask how long or short, how loud or soft, which note is the most important point in the melody, whether the harmony should be predominant or not in any particular passage?" said Dodson.
"That all has to be answered from among the players themselves. Sometimes they have to explore four or five different ways and then come to an agreement. The best groups work through a lot of options because they know that exploration is part of the process. But they also have to think structurally, meaning they have to put each phase in context of the whole.
"Music rolls out in time, so that is the dimension in which we work. Time always has three elements: the past, the present and the future.
"The piece is always in the present. You play a note NOW, but how you play it means that you have to remember what has already happened, and, if you've done your homework, you know how each moment fits into the larger canvas. You see the present in context of what WILL happen as well. … You have to be at the 'one inch off the ground' perspective — this note gets an accent — and you have to be at the 'thousand foot' level — this whole passage fits into the complete work like THIS — all at the same time."
"Chamber music is, by its very nature, the most difficult thing musicians do, because you have to do all of that in collaboration with others," Dodson continued. "You have to be strong and also be ready to compromise. It's the biggest challenge I can think of in music-making. … It's the mix between 'me' and 'us.' "
Koch said he enjoys the fact that string-quartet playing, with all the variables that can come into play at any given concert, is all about "creating the performance on the spot" with just a few other people.
"I like the collaborative voice," he said. "I like that it's something that I created with these other people. It's our creation."
In these concerts, the group will play parts of two string quartets and an entire third work. The main piece on the program is Beethoven's String Quartet No. 11, opus 95.
"Composers write symphonies for the world. They write string quartets for themselves," said Koch. "If you don't know Beethoven's quartets, you're missing a lot of what makes Beethoven Beethoven."
Additionally, the ensemble will perform part of a Mozart string quartet and part of a work by 20th-century composer Richard Stoehr that presents a unique opportunity for the audience.
Stoehr, an Austrian born of Jewish parents but who converted to Christianity, taught at the Vienna Academy of Music before the Germans invaded Austria. When they did, he was cut from the faculty because of his heritage and allowed to emigrate to the U.S., where he became a teacher first at the Curtis Institute of Music — Leonard Bernstein was among his students — and then at St. Michael's College in Vermont.
Despite being quite a prolific composer, Stoehr is essentially unknown today.
"I've been performing his cello and piano works, and I'm the only person in the U.S. to do them," said Koch. From there, Koch was led to Stoehr's string quartets including the one on the Casual Classic program.
Hence the aforementioned unique opportunity for this audience: to hear the resurrection of an unknown work, before the Beaumont Quartet performs it anywhere else.
"This will be something special for the audience," said Koch. "It's something that literally no one alive has ever heard performed."
And he thinks people will not only be pleasantly surprised by the piece, but will be interested in discovering how an ensemble approaches performing a work when there's no tradition of performing it.
Koch said he also believes the area's music lovers, especially those who have never heard a string quartet play live and in person, will find this particular Casual Classic appealing.
"I think they'll be surprised at how powerful (string quartet music) can be, and yet how intimate and personal it can be."

Mozilla has announced it's ceasing development on Thunderbird; one more version will be released, and it'll be security updates from then on. "Most Thunderbird users seem happy with the basic email feature set. In parallel, we have seen the rising popularity of Web-based forms of communications representing email alternatives to a desktop solution. Given this, focusing on stability for Thunderbird and driving innovation through other offerings seems a natural choice." Makes sense - I mean, there's only so much you can do with something that needs to send and receive mail, and I can't imagine Thunderbird having a lot of users. Strange, almost Microsoftian obtuse announcement, by the way.

Title: Cornered
*Breath goes across the screen. Two men sit in the back of a refrigerated truck. The truck comes to a stop. Outside we hear someone get out of a car and the driver get shot. Some mechanical noises as the exhaust is sent into the back of the truck. Gaff reaches over and grabs a cooler from the front seat then opens it and takes out the food inside. Inside the truck the two men struggle to get out to escape the exhaust fumes. Gaff and his two henchmen watch as the men in the truck slowly die. After a while Gaff and his two henchmen enter the truck and scan the buckets of chicken for one with a star on it. They take the bucket and leave the truck*
Walt: *on answering machine* Uh, it's me. I just wanted to say that I was thinking about you and the kids and uh, I love you.
*Skyler replays the message*
Walt: *on answering machine* Uh, it's me. I just wanted to say that I was thinking about you and the kids and uh...
*Skyler puts a cup of coffee down on the nightstand next to Walt who is passed out. He wakes up*
Walt: Morning.
Skyler: Afternoon.
Walt: Oh, really? Jesus. You shouldn't have let me sleep.
Skyler: You needed it.
Walt: *sighs* *laughs* Skyler, I don't entirely remember what happened last night. I may have said some things that...
Skyler: Did you know this Gale Boetticher person?
Walt: Skyler, I can't even focus.
Skyler: Gale Boetticher. Did you know him?
Walt: Oh my God, what...what exactly did I say last night?
Skyler: Just enough. Did you work together?
*Walt sighs*
Skyler: Who killed him? Was it the people you work for?
Walt: Definitely not.
Skyler: Was it somebody who at some point might want to do the same to you?
Walt: I seriously doubt it. No.
*Walt sits up in bed*
Walt: Oh God.
Skyler: I think I know what happened last night, Walt.
Walt: I know exactly what happened last night: I drank too much wine.
Skyler: You told Hank that the man he was looking for might still be out there. That it might not be this Boetticher after all. And I was up all night wondering why you would say that to him.
Walt: Cause I was drunk, Skyler.
Skyler: No, but then. But then I was remembering your black eye. Your, uh, business disagreement that you don't want to talk about?
Walt: Look, I don't want to talk about any of this, ever. The firewall, alright? Church and State, that's how we need to approach this thing.
Skyler: And then I remembered the message you left me the other day. When you said you loved me. When I heard that I thought that maybe, you, I don't know, that you were regretting what's happened between us and I get that. After last night...Walt I think you're scared. I think that message was some kind of goodbye.
Walt: No, Skyler.
Skyler: I think last night was a cry for help.
Walt: Oh, Jesus, a cry for help.
Skyler: I think some part of you wants Hank to catch you.
Walt: Wow! That is just. That is...that is it! Exactly, yes! You're like Dr. Joyce Brothers here, God.
Skyler: If he caught you at least this would all be over.
Walt: Oh yeah, this is a tremendous weight just lifted off me. Now I understand myself, thank you. Thank you.
Skyler: Walt, I've said it before. If you are in danger we go to the police.
Walt: Oh, no, I don't wanna hear about the police.
Skyler: I do not say that lightly. I know what it could do to this family, but if it's the only real choice we have. If it's either that or you getting shot when you open your front door-
Walt: I don't want to hear about the police-
Skyler: You're not some hardened criminal, Walt. You are in over your head. That's what we tell them and that's the truth.
Walt: No, it's not the truth.
Skyler: Of course it is. A school teacher, cancer, desperate for money?
Walt: Okay, we're done here.
Skyler: Roped into working for -- unable to even quit! You told me that yourself Walt. Jesus, what was I thinking? Walt, please, let's both of us stop trying to justify this whole thing and admit that you're in danger.
*Walt turns around quickly*
Walt: Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see? Do you know how much I make a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop going into work? A business big enough that it could be listed on the NASDAQ goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not in danger, Skyler. I am the danger! A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks!
*Walt walks away into the bathroom, leaving Skyler sitting on the bed. Walt takes a shower then goes back into the bedroom*
Walt: Look, I was...
*Walt leaves the bedroom and walks through the house confused.*
Walt: Skyler?
*Walt looks outside to see Skyler's car gone*
*The car wash door opens with Bogdan inside*
Bogdan: Here we are. Just like you left it. And where is your pretty wife?
Walt: She has other business to attend to.
Bogdan: Well, like I say to her, place sells as is, understand?
Walt: Yes, I understand.
Bogdan: Good, good. I don't want her coming back with more demands. She gave me hard time when we settled on price.
Walt: We're all on the same page, Bogdan.
Bogdan: So, here's everything you need. I keep very good files.
*Bogdan hands Walt a stack of papers*
Walt: Thank you.
Bogdan: So you are the boss now, huh? You think you're ready?
Walt: Yes, I...I think so.
Bogdan: Being boss is tough. I know you think I was hard on you, but you'll learn, being in charge is not easy. It takes hard work.
Walt: You've seen me work hard, Bogdan.
Bogdan: Yeah? I don't know. Not so much, maybe. Maybe when you are the boss you will just keep your feet up and relax. The real important thing, and not everyone knows this, is to be tough. Boss has to be tough. Has to say no to people. Has to make cashiers wipe down cars, even if they don't want to. Can you be tough, Walter? *laughs* I'm sure you can handle. And if not, you can always call your wife, huh?
*Walt slams his hand down on the cash register to open it*
Bogdan: Always sticky, no problem. As is.
*Bogdan hands Walt the keys to the car wash*
Bogdan: Who'd have thought that some day I would be handing these keys to you?
*Bogdan moves a box then Walt moves it back*
Bogdan: Many years. Almost forgot.
*Bogdan takes down a dollar in a frame off the wall*
Walt: Bogdan. As is.
*Bogdan hands the framed dollar back to Walt then leaves the car wash. Walt breaks open the frame and takes out the dollar. He walks over to the soda machine and uses the dollar to buy a soda*
*Mike and Jesse are sitting in a diner. Mike is reading a newspaper while eating some food, Jesse has a cup of coffee*
Mike: Thank you.
Waitress: Mmhmm.
*Jesse pours some sugar into his coffee then stirs it up. His hand is shaking*
Mike: You okay there?
Jesse: I'm fine. Just not, not using is...
*Mike slides his plate of food across the table to Jesse*
Mike: Eat something.
*Jesse takes a fork and eats some of Mike's food. Mike's phone vibrates*
Mike: Yeah? That's right, both of 'em. I'm on my way.
*Mike gets up from the table*
Jesse: You need any help?
*Mike places money on the table*
Mike: No.
*Mike leaves the diner*
*Walt and Junior are eating breakfast together*
Junior: You want me to call her back?
Walt: Eh, no. What exactly did she say? Exactly.
Junior: Just, you know, she asked if I was okay and not to worry. Like that.
Walt: Hmm. Any, uh, rough time table on this thing, as to when she's coming home?
*Junior shakes his head no*
Junior: It's about the gambling, right?
Walt: Well, it's-it's kind of hard to.
Junior: She can't understand. It's not like you're doing this on purpose, you can't help it.
Walt: It's not that simple.
Junior: Look, you have a disease. It's like you're an alcoholic, right?
Walt: No, it's not like that at all.
Junior: Yes it is, I read online. She's not even allowed to be mad at you. And she can't be mad at you about the cancer, can she?
Walt: Son, son. These are two very different things.
Junior: Not really. Gambling addiction is a sickness, you can't-
Walt: Listen. What is going on with me is not about some disease, it's about choices. Choices that I have made. Choices I stand by.
*Walt and Junior are driving in Walt's car*
Junior: You're not moving back in, are you?
Walt: No. Hey, you know what? School can wait. Why don't we take a little detour?
Junior: What kind of detour?
Walt: You'll see.
*Walt pulls up to a dealership*
Walt: I think it's time you got you your own car, what do you think?
*Junior laughs*
Walt: What?
Junior: I think if you're gonna buy me off...buy me off.
*Junior looks at a billboard of a Mustang*
*Junior pulls into the driveway in a new red Mustang listening to music loudly*
Walt: Wow.
Junior: Amazing. It's amazing.
Walt: Yeah, it's good lookin'. Good, I'm glad you like it.
Junior: I do, thank you dad.
Walt: Alright, you're welcome.
*Jesse is leaning on his car smoking a cigarette as Walt pulls up to the laundromat*
Walt: So you're here?
Jesse: Yeah.
Walt: You're actually here to work?
Jesse: Yeah, man. Jesus.
Walt: Jesse. Come here.
*Walt and Jesse walk behind a truck where they can't be seen/heard*
Walt: Alright, I need an update.
Jesse: An update on what?
Walt: An update on these little field trips you've been taking with Mike.
Jesse: I told you already, we pick up money, check on things. Stuff like that.
Walt: And you're his bodyguard right? Well what? That's what you said.
Jesse: I said I guarded him. Like backup. Like a second set of eyes. Everybody needs backup, right?
Walt: And this has to be you? It can't be, I don't know, Tyrus or any of the couple thousand muscleheads that Gus has working for him? It has to be Jesse Pinkman. Why? What is there something about you that I don't know? Are you a former Navy Seal? Do you have to have your registered as lethal weapons?
Jesse: Register this.
*Jesse flips Walt off*
Walt: All I'm saying is that, do you not even question this? Do you really believe you mean anything to these people? And I'm not trying to be insulting I'm just trying to make you see things clearly.
Jesse: I see they can't outright kill me, but they don't want me getting high. I see this thing probably started as Gus getting Mike to babysit me. But you know what? I saved Mike from getting robbed. Even killed, maybe. So maybe I'm not such a loser after all!
Walt: I mean what if it...oh God. I mean what if it, what if it's all just a setup?
Jesse: What?
Walt: What if this robbery that you stopped wasn't even real? I mean, think about it. Your first day out guarding Mike. He steps out for one second and what happens? You immediately get robbed.
Jesse: You're such an asshole.
Walt: Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer. Like you said, Gus can't kill you because of me. He knows I won't stand for it. He needs me and he hates the fact that he needs me so what does he do? He goes to work driving a wedge between you and me.
Jesse: You're an asshole. If you'd been there, you'd know it wasn't a setup.
Walt: Wait a minute. How long did those guys chase you? Huh? Because the way you describe it they gave up pretty damn easy. No, no, this...this whole thing. All of this! It's all about me.
*Jesse looks at him in disbelief then walks away, Walt follows. They both go into the laundromat. Walt stops for a second to look into the camera outside*
*Walt and Jesse are getting ready to leave after a cook. The phone rings*
Walt: Hello. Uh, look just, hang on.
*Walt walks over to Jesse and gives him the phone*
Jesse: Yeah.I'll be right up.
*Jesse hands the phone back to Walt and continues leaving*
Walt: What?
Jesse: I gotta go.
Walt: Wha-am I supposed to clean all this on my own?
*Jesse leaves*
Walt: Hey! God.
*Walt takes off his shoes and leaves the lab. Upstairs he finds a few of the laundromat workers*
Walt: Ah. Buenos dias ladies! Buenos dias. Do you speak English? Habla ingles?
All 3 women: No.
Walt: Okay. Yo, uh, help help...ayunda?
Worker 1: Ayuda.
Walt: Ayuda, ayuda! Gracias, gracias. Yo neccisita, neccisito ayuda a limpio. Si? Si? I need help to clean.
Worker 1: Que?
Walt: Yes, si, comprende? No no no no, es bueno. Uh, por favor, por favor, entrar. Entrar. Si. Muy bueno, muy bueno. Yes muy bueno.
*Walt walks the three women over to the entrance of the lab*
Walt: It's just this-
Worker 2: No. No no no no. Lo ciento.
Walt: No no no no, it's no problemo. Un momento, un momento, un momento.
Worker 2: Ay no, ay no. Podemos?
Worker 1: No. No podemos carrer estadas trabar.
Walt: No no, ladies. Un momento, un momento. Un momento. Yo necessito ayuda a limpio dos horas maximo. That's it. Muy facil.
*The workers debate amongst themselves in spanish*
Walt: I'll tell you what, I'll tell you what. Universal language, dinero.
Woker 2: No.
Walt: Si si si, por usted. Si.
*Walt hands them money*
Walt: It's one for you. Yes, si. Presidente Grant, very important man. Pero usted, si. And mas dinero, mas dinero after the-
*The workers debate amongst themselves in spanish again*
Walt: Are we good? I think we're good. I think we listen to you. Please, por favor, por favor. Dos horas maximo. Please, por favor, por favor. Ah! Yes! Iguales!
*The women clean dressed in the orange jumpsuits as Walt drinks coffee. He raises his cup to the cameras watching them in the lab*
*Skyler is driving down a long stretch with Holly in the back. She takes Holly out of the car and walks to the 4 corner monument. She takes out a coin flicks it into the air. It lands in Colorado. She picks it up and flicks it into the air again. it lands in Colorado again. She looks down at Holly then moves the coin to New Mexico with her foot*
*Mike and Jesse are sitting in a car*
Jesse: What's the deal?
Mike: Well, the deal is we're watching that house. Couple down on the left with the tree in the front?
Jesse: Yeah? What for?
Mike: Well a little birdy told me there's some guys in there that have 3 pounds of our product, which they're selling. And which they sure as hell didn't get from us.
Jesse: So, what's the plan?
Mike: I just told you. We sit here and watch that house. Until one of our entrepreneurs pops his head out, then we ask a few questions and get our property back.
Jesse: Why don't you just go break the door down, pistol whip those bitches and show 'em who's boss?
Mike: Because a little birdy also told me these guys are heavily into the product and most likely armed. And what you may not know about meth heads, or maybe you do, they're kind of unpredictable. I don't care for unpredictable, so we wait. Sorry to burst your bubble kid, but that's 90% of the job. Don't worry, I brought sandwiches. Yes sir. Uhh, pimeno cheese? How's that sound?
*Jesse puts his hand up to decline the sandwich. He gets out of the car*
Mike: Woah woah woah, where do you think you're going?
Jesse: You said they're sellin', right? Maybe I'm lookin' to buy.
*Jesse knocks on the gate outside their door. Tucker answers*
Tucker: Who the hell are you?
Scary Skell: Tucker!
Jesse: I'm here to buy.
Tucker: Not my question.
Scary Skell: Tucker why'd you answer the door? Tucker! Tucker!
Jesse: My name's Diesel. Heard you maybe had some of the blue?
Scary Skell: Tucker! Shut the door Tucker!
Jesse: I'm just lookin' for a teenth, yo, come on. Help a brother out.
Scary Skell: Tucker! Tucker will you shut the damn door?!
Tucker: We don't sell to strangers. Get off the porch asshole.
Scary Skell: Tucker! Tucker will you shut the door?
Tucker: Alright already, Jesus!
*Tucker slams toe door on Jesse. Jesse walks back to the car and gets in*
Mike: Guess we'll go with plan A then.
Jesse: Pop the trunk, would ya?
Mike: Why?
Jesse: There's something in there I need.
Mike: And what would that be?
Jesse: I'm getting those pricks out of that house.
Mike: Oh with your first attempt being such a wild success.
Jesse: You may know this whole P.I. sit in the car business, but I know meth heads.
*Jesse goes into the truck and takes out a shovel. He walks over to the house and starts digging in the front yard. Tucker walks out of the house slowly toward Jesse*
Tucker: What are you doing?
Jesse: Digging.
Tucker: Why?
Jesse: Oh, you know why.
Tucker: How deep are you going?
Jesse: I don't know, how deep do you think it is?
Tucker: Pretty deep.
Jesse: Hey uh, you mind taking over for a minute?
Tucker: Yeah, sure.
*Tucker takes the shovel from Jesse and starts digging*
Jesse: Hey, uh, mind if I use your John?
Tucker: Yeah.
*Mike smiles as he watches Jesse enter the house*
Scary Skell: Tucker! Tucker! Tucker! Who the hell are you?
Jesse: Alright, hey, it's cool. I'm a, I'm a friend of Tucker's.
Scary Skell: What do you want?
Jesse: I just, uh, I just wanna buy some of the blue.
Scary Skell: It's not for sale.
Jesse: Well I know that you were selling it earlier, so-
Scary Skell: Oh yeah, how do you know that?
Jesse: Uh, Tucker told me.
Scary Skell: Yeah well, Tucker needs to learn to keep his damn mouth shut. Tucker! Tucker!
Jesse: So uh, you gonna hook me up?
Scary Skell: Don't have enough for all of Tucker's asshole friends. Tucker!
Jesse: You know I think he's outside. You wanna just go outside?
Scary Skell: Tucker! Tucker!
Jesse: Hey, hey. Let's go find Tucker. Okay? Let's go outside and-
*Scary Skell walks toward Jesse quickly with his shotgun aimed at him*
Scary Skell: I don't have enough for you. Alright?
Jesse: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Hey, okay. I don't wanna start any trouble-
Scary Skell: Trouble? Trouble, what does that mean, trouble?
Jesse: No no no, I'm just sayin', we're cool. Okay, we're good.
Scary Skell: What? You can't know that. What does that mean? What? You don't put thoughts in my head. You don't put thoughts in my head!
Jesse: Absolutely, you're right. You're right.
*The backdoor opens in the background*
Scary Skell: Tucker?
*Jesse knocks Scary Skell out with a bong. Jesse takes the shotgun from him while he lays on the ground. Mike walks into the house and looks on the bucket. He puts the top of the bucket down. Tucker is still digging outside the house*
Walt: Muchos gracias amigas. Muchos gracias.
*Walt hands the workers more money*
Walt: There you go, Maria.
Maria: Oh, gracias.
Walt: Frederico.
Worker 1: Muchos gracias.
Walt: Si, there you go. So uh, usted residar circa? Si?
*Maria says something in Spanish. The workers laugh*
Walt: I missed that one, I'm sure it was good. Now mas-
*Tyrus is standing in front of Walt and the workers*
Tyrus: *to workers* Vengan conmigo.
*The workers argue with Tyrus, but he doesn't budge. He tells them to follow him*
Walt: Wait a minute, where are you taking them? Come on Tyrus, what are you doing?
Tyrus: I'm putting them on a bus.
Walt: Why? What bus?
Tyrus: One that takes them back to Honduras.
Walt: Hey, wait a second. Wait a minute. This was my idea, don't punish them. You tell Gus to blame me, not them.
Tyrus: He does.
*Tyurs walks away with the workers*
*Mike and Jesse are back at the diner, both eating. Gus walks in*
Mike: *to Jesse* Give us a minute, will ya?
*Jesse looks back and sees Gus. He gets up to leave*
Gus: *to Jesse* We won't be too long.
*Gus sits down as Jesse steps outside*
Mike: The crew that hit our truck gave away the cargo to a couple local nobodies. And very disciplined of not keeping any for themselves. It was all about sending a message. Which they did, literally. It was written on the bucket lid. "Ready to talk?" That I believe was the English translation. I know you're not really asking for advice, but let me hire 10, 15 more good operators and we hit 'em back, hit 'em hard, hit 'em where they live.
Gus: No. This war stays cold for now.
Mike: What about their message? What's the answer?
Gus: *sighs* Set up a meeting, let's see what they have to say. How did he do today?
*Jesse paces outside. Gus gets up and leaves the diner*
Gus: I hear you can handle yourself.
Jesse: I guess.
Gus: Goodnight.
Jesse: Hey, excuse me. Why me?
Gus: I like to think I see things in people.
*Gus walks away and gets in his car then drives away*
*Skyler pulls up to the White residence and sees the new Mustang Walt bought*
Walt: *to Junior* Slow down. The car's not going anywhere.
*Skyler enters the house with Holly. Junior and Walt get up*
Junior: Mom!
Skyler: Hey, sweetheart. Hi.
Junior: Hey.
Skyler. Whew. Ah, there ya go.
Junior: So, did you see what's in the driveway?
Skyler: Uhh, yeah I saw. Hey. *kisses Junior on the cheek* So that's yours, huh?
Junior: Yeah, dad got it for me.
Skyler: Well that was very nice of him.
Junior: Yeah. I know it looks like...well...awesome, but it's super safe. Dad made sure. And I promise to always go the speed limit, or below. Way below. And it gets great gas mileage. So, dad said I could take it around the block a few times, is that okay? Just around the block.
Skyler: Yeah, just around the block. And be careful, okay?
Junior: I will.
*Skyler kisses Junior on the cheek.
Junior: It's really great to have you home, mom.
Walt: *to Junior* Hey, seriously be careful. Okay?
Junior: I know.
*Walt walks over to Skyler who is cleaning the table*
Walt: I guess we should talk.
Skyler: Well, I think you said plenty the other day.
Walt: Look, about that...it just...
Skyler: Did you get the carwash keys?
Walt: Um, yes. Yes.
*Walt hands the keys to Skyler*
Walt: Skyler. I may have overstated things earlier. And I'm sorry to be so, forward, but I just want you to know something. I want you to -- I need you to understand that you are safe. You, Junior, Holly. You are completely safe. Everything that I do, everything. I do it to protect this family.
Skyler: So buying that car, that was protecting your family?
Walt: Okay. Alright maybe it's a little flashy, but he needed a car. And I'm his father I should be able to get what he wants.
Skyler: It goes back. Tomorrow.
Walt: Skyler, it will crush him.
Skyler: That car directly contradicts our story and if you're so invested in protecting this family, it means protecting this story. What do you think the neighbors will say Walt? What about Hank and Marie? How about the IRS? What were you thinking, Walt?
Walt: I was thinking that I wanted to do something nice for my son. Look, I just worry that he'll blame you for this.
Skyler: Oh he will. Once again, he'll blame his bitch mother for taking away what his loving father has given him, so...thanks for that. But you know what, Walt? Someone has to protect this family from the man who protects this family.
