The caramel popcorn is a crowd favorite in terms of snacks around the course. It has good flavors and provides a blend of sweet and savory that works well for a snack between groups. The moon pies are another treat that those from the South already are big fans of. It adds a bit of the old school Georgia flare to the m... |
The pimento cheese is considered a Masters delicacy, and will please anyone who loves the traditional recipe. It’s probably some of the best I have ever had. |
The standout though is the egg salad sandwich. Nice chunks of eggs in every single bite goes well with its overall creamy texture. These things are simply delicious. Sometimes simple is better and most things on the Masters’ menu fits that to a tee. |
My least favorite from the week has been the classic chicken. It is a fried chicken patty inside a bun served cold like the rest of the sandwiches. It isn’t particularly seasoned well and is the most expensive thing on the menu at $3 (still a bargain). |
There is only one item listed as a dessert which isn’t a drawback when the one thing is this good. Take some of the best peach ice cream on the face of the earth and put it between a pair of sugar cookies — for only $2. The cookies are soft and taste freshly baked. The ice cream has chunks of peach in it and taste like... |
The Masters menu doesn’t have the biggest selection or the fan-fare type food that you might find at other major sporting events like nachos inside of a helmet or donut burger. But they offer what the South does best and that is simple, affordable dining. |
Spectators can get out of Augusta National for less than $10 per day (if you’re being really stingy) or around $20 with your family. Prices that low are almost unheard of at an event of this caliber. |
If you ever enter the grounds, do not pass up the chance to dine like those competing for the green jacket. On the 15th hole Thursday, Paul Casey pulled out an egg salad sandwich and ate it right there on the course. He seemed to enjoy his end-of-the-round snack, but I wouldn’t suggest waiting nearly four hours to tear... |
Through four games of the 2015 season, Auburn conducts one of the country's slowest-paced, least effective offenses. |
AUBURN – Welcome to the slow and conservative era of Auburn football. |
After promising a high tempo, fast-paced rhythm offense, everything Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn has been defined by in his coaching career is suddenly gone with this team. |
Through four games of the 2015 season, Auburn conducts one of the slowest-paced offenses in the country. According to SportSource Analytics, Auburn (2-2, 0-2 in Southeastern Conference) is 98th in the nation in adjusted pace of play leading to them being one the least productive offense in the SEC. |
One month into the season, Auburn continues to search for its offensive identity and that may be a more formidable task than any other year Malzahn has been at Auburn. |
The Tigers are 112th in the country at 344.3 yards per game and Saturday’s 17-9 loss to Mississippi State was the first collegiate game that the team Malzahn was coaching on the sideline failed to score a touchdown. |
It’s even gotten to the point that Malzahn was accused by a fan during his ‘Tiger Talk’ radio show Monday night of the opposing defenses knowing Auburn’s signals and play calls. |
In preseason practice, Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said he was confident his offense would actually go faster and with Jeremy Johnson at quarterback saying “tempo is what we do”. Just a month after making those proclamations, Auburn benched Johnson and the Tigers have yet to find any rhythm or pace whats... |
Malzahn said Tuesday that the extending huddling and slow-down tempo Saturday was due to quarterback Sean White making his first career start. Auburn is going to attempt to gradually pick up the tempo as White gets more comfortable with game situations behind center. |
Another vital reason to Auburn’s slow pace is the coaching staff’s inability to feel confident with a consistent set of skill position players. Malzahn said Tuesday the team is substituting personnel in and out on nearly every play because of inexperience at tailback, wide receiver and H-back. Those coaching moves from... |
Marlboro maker Altria Group says e-cigarette maker Juul Labs posted more than $1bn in revenue in 2018, up from about $200m a year earlier, the first official growth figures for the vaping product. Altria paid $12.8bn for a 35% stake in Juul in December 2018, getting a foothold in a segment that is quickly becoming an a... |
In November, the US Food & Drug Administration announced curbs on sales of flavoured e-cigarette products, including Juul’s mango and cool cucumber. |
Nomura Holdings has put its wholesale business under review after the segment drove Japan’s biggest brokerage and investment bank to its heaviest quarterly loss in nearly 10 years. The wholesale business serves corporations and institutional investors. Nomura’s struggles highlight the challenges it faces in transformin... |
And McConnell makes if official: Only a next president should nominate #Scalia successor, he says. |
.@FoxNews noting that if Scalia's seat is vacant and SCOTUS splits 4-4 on abortion + CO2 cases, conservative lower court rulings will hold. |
Congress was heading for a pretty dull year heading into elections. #Scalia death proves life and death always intervenes in politics. |
Conservative Supreme-Court Justice Antonin Scalia has passed. Condolences to his family. |
P.S. The politics of replacing him will be UGLY. |
#Scalia death raises stakes of presidential election, whether or not #Senate confirms #Obama's nomination. |
Lots of internet buzz about US circuit judge Sri Srinivasan as potential #SCOTUS nominee after #Scalia's abrubt passing. |
America has lost a brilliant Constitutional mind. We join the nation in lifting the Scalia family up in prayer. |
My prayers and condolences to the Scalia family. America lost a respected jurist and steadfast defender of the Constitution today. |
Death of Scalia could impact Calif case challenging teacher union dues. He was seen as swing vote. 4-4 vote would leave dues intact. |
Scalia in 2010: "I would change it back to what they wrote, in some respects. The 17th Amendment has changed things enormously." |
Quit clutching yer pearls. Those who personally knew/loved Scalia should mourn; it's perfectly OK for the rest of us to ponder the future. |
About an hour after Scalia death, GOP saying won't consider an Obama nominee, Dems calling that "shameful abdication" of responsibility. |
The prime minister and some other Coalition politicians participating in the 2014 pollie pedal charity bike ride claimed almost $10,000 in flight and travel expenses around the event. |
While Tony Abbott wasn’t involved in the entire trip, he claimed $1,116 in travel allowances for two nights of accommodation towards the end of the ride in Mudgee and Leura. |
The then social services minister Kevin Andrews and the member for the electorate of Parkes – where most of the Pollie Pedal took place – Mark Coulton claimed $4,603 between them for the duration of the ride. |
Andrews also claimed flights to and from Sydney at the start and end of the ride, and Andrews’ wife also flew in to Sydney at taxpayer expense at the beginning and end of the ride. |
The assistant minister for social services, Mitch Fifield, also claimed flight and travel expenses over the course of the event, but did not take part in the cycling, instead holding 24 meetings and press conferences at various locations. Andrews and Abbott also held meetings and press conferences. |
Other politicians joined the bike ride but did not make any claims for travel expenses, including Luke Hartsuyker, David Gillespie and Barnaby Joyce. |
Pollie Pedal, an annual 1,000km charity bike ride undertaken by politicians in different parts of Australia, was co-founded by Abbott in 1998 with two then-fellow MPs Jackie Kelly and Ross Cameron. It raised over $750,000 in 2014, according to Carers Australia. |
A spokesman for Andrews said all travel claims had been made within entitlement and directed further questions to the Department of Finance. |
“As the minister for social services at the time, Minister Andrews visited many community groups and service providers that were within his portfolio during Pollie Pedal,” he said. |
Claiming travel allowances and flights in this way is allowed under the entitlements system, and the Department of Finance relies on the discretion of the politician to determine what is and isn’t official business. |
Andrews claimed $432 on the first day of the ride and $357 per day for the next eight days as the ride took in Tamworth, Moree, Gunnedah, the Blue Mountains, and finished in Penrith. |
Coulton claimed between $253 and $278 for electorate business on 9-10 August and 12-14 August, totalling $1,315. |
Andrews also charged the taxpayer for his flights to and from Sydney costing $1,274. |
Andrews’ wife travelled with him at the beginning and the end of the Pollie Pedal flying from Melbourne to Sydney on 8 August and back to Melbourne two days later at a cost of $1,274. |
She returned to Sydney on 16 August, when the pollie pedal ended, and then returned with Andrews to Melbourne on 18 August with the round trip costing another $1,274. |
The $2,549 worth of flights for Andrews’ wife around the time the Pollie Pedal began and ended flights were charged to the taxpayer as a ministerial expense. |
A spokesman for Abbott defended the practice of claiming travel expenses for participating in the charity event, referring to Abbott’s comments in 2013. |
“I don’t in any way apologise for claiming travel expenses for the Pollie Pedal because the Pollie Pedal is a perfectly legitimate form of engagement with the community,” Abbott said through the spokesman. |
His spokesman suggested contacting the CEO of Carers Australia about what Pollie Pedal has achieved for carers and their cause around Australia. |
Fifeld said Pollie Pedal was run with the assistance of and benefit of Carers Australia which is a key peak organisation in his portfolio. |
“While the pedallers cycled, I used the event as a backdrop in my role as the minister for disability, ageing and carers to meet people with disability, carers and older Australians as well as with the groups that support them,” he said. |
Coulton was also contacted for comment. |
Guardian Australia found no records of MPs from other parties who claimed expenses for taking part in the event. |
BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) - A man with an extensive history of mental illness and property damage has been charged with arson in connection with a fire that severely damaged a Washington state mosque Saturday. |
The Seattle Times reports (https://goo.gl/qB4nZR ) Issac Wayne Wilson was charged in King County Tuesday. Bail was set at $1 million. |
Charging documents say Wilson was found in a parking lot behind the Islamic Center of Eastside in Bellevue early Saturday, staring at the fire. |
The mosque was unoccupied at the time and no injuries were reported. |
In July, Wilson disrupted prayers at the mosque and had to be escorted out. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct. |
The AMZN stock price climbed more than 2% to $710.73 today (Monday) after the company announced it will start selling its own brand of snacks, diapers, detergents, teas, and vitamins, among other items. |
According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon.com Inc. (Nasdaq: AMZN) could start selling its own brand of packaged goods to Prime members as soon as the end of May or early June. The Amazon brand names include Happy Belly, Mama Bear, Pesto!, and Wickedly Prime. |
The Happy Belly line will offer things like nuts, trail mix, tea, and cooking oil, according to The Journal. The Wickedly Prime brand will feature a variety of snack foods, other pantry items, and grooming staples. Amazon has applied for trademark protection for pasta, granola, potato chips, and chocolate, as well as r... |
The Presto! line of household products will offer laundry detergent. The Mama Bear brand will feature baby products including diapers, baby food jars, and gentle detergent. |
The move is expected to boost revenue at Amazon and could be a major catalyst for the AMZN stock price in 2016. Private-label brands typically carry higher profit margins. That's because the companies behind them don't spend a great deal to market them. |
Amazon's move into consumer packaged goods will also give it even more influence with suppliers. Amazon brand products will receive better placement on its site and will have more muscle to undercut competitors on pricing. |
In addition to a fresh revenue stream, the move is aimed at increasing the clout of Amazon Prime. Prime is a $99-a-year unlimited shipping program that fuels Amazon's retail growth. |
Amazon Prime customers are a loyal bunch and spend more on Amazon than non-members. By adding another perk and more offerings, Amazon's best customers will become even more reliable spenders. |
Of course, the development is not completely risk-free. |
Amazon will now be selling its own brand of edible, health and well-being, and household products. Just one bad experience, not to mention the potential for a safety issue or recall, could significantly harm Amazon's well-known and coveted brand. |
But if past is any indication, Amazon should find success. |
Amazon already successfully sells electronic accessories, office supplies, and clothing under a variety of its own brand names. Amazon is the second-largest apparel seller in the United States, behind only Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE: WMT). |
Apparel sales were once dominated by department stores. Friday's Commerce Department report showed overall retail sales rose 1.3% month over month in April. But the category that included online sales grew a much larger 2.4%. Department store sales have slumped 1.7% over the last 12 months, the data revealed. |
The key takeaway is that consumers are spending more online and for more things at sites like Amazon. |
Amazon already accounts for half of all sales growth in U.S. e-commerce. Grocery and household private-label brand products means Amazon's share of the e-commerce market will only grow bigger. |
Amazon continues to expand its reach and presence in a variety of areas. |
Last week, it unveiled Amazon Video Direct. It allows users to post videos and earn royalties. That sets it up directly against Alphabet Inc.'s (Nasdaq: GOOGL) YouTube. |
The Amazon stock price is up 38.96% over the last three months and 65.62% over the last year. AMZN stock continues to be a great long-term stock to buy and hold. |

Conversations about shutting St Peter’s Arcade, the route into Bridge Street, have been raised due to rough sleeping in the area. |
Deputy Peterborough City Council leader Cllr Wayne Fitzgerald said senior council officers and cabinet members had discussed the idea with rubbish being left in the arcade, including needles. |
Cllr Fitzgerald will now lobby Police and Crime Commissioner Jason Ablewhite for police to tackle begging. |
He added: “There’s an ongoing discussion about the plague of beggars and rough sleepers that seem to blight the city centre. I say that with some compassion. Everybody feels for certain people down on their luck, but there’s help for every single one of them. |
See tomorrow’s Peterborough Telegraph for more. |
