Pulled Pork BBQ
Wed, May 26, 2010 @ 7:23PM
As I was thinking about the next recipe to publish it occurred to me that this weekend is the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend. Being from the South (grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee), ANY holiday is a good reason to have barbeque. The smell of barbeque sauce on meat is like Channel No. 5 to a southerner. Any southern girl knows that she can dab a little bit of barbeque sauce behind her ears and land herself a husband! Before anyone writes a note asking, I did NOT actually meet my husband that way but I would not have been above it had the need arisen. When speaking or writing about barbeque sauce I can't help but remember my parternal grandfather. He would slap barbeque sauce on anything that would stand still long enough for him to do so. He literally used every jar in the spice rack to make his "secret sauce." I suppose every family has it's own heirloom barbeque recipe as does mine.

Read that Rule Sheet
Wed, August 18, 2010 @ 5:01PM
What a tragedy the PGA Championship was last week with Dustin Johnson getting a 2-shot penalty for grounding his club in a 'bunker'. As you know, you cannot touch the sand with your club during your address position, it's considered 'testing' the sand. While I don't agree that this was a bunker, it sure didn't look like one with the gallery walking in it, tire tracks, etc. it WAS on the rule sheet. I've played in many tournaments and before teeing off we all receive a handout of the daily and local rules. It makes no difference it the player 'didn't know' a rule's a rule and it clearly stated that all area of sand througout the entire course were to be classified as a 'hazard'. I wouldn't have known or thought it was a bunker either so I feel bad for DJ. It makes me wonder how many dozens of times that other players did the same thing all during the week with no one seeing that. Hopefully never but I bet it did.

Persistence of The Irrational
Mon, July 26, 2010 @ 11:04PM
If there is any thing about human nature that we can consider perverse, it is man's desire to do what is irrational and call it progress or moving forward out of the dark ages. Listen to our Liberal politicians from Anthony Weiner to Al Franken to Obama. They are all incredibly overwrought with ideology that is historically proven to be insidious, wrong headed, unworkable, economic folly, lethal to material well being, and laughably called sophisticated. Paul Krugman, the liberal economist, belongs on the stage of the Geithner Follies. He is for more spending. Really?!!!! And Geithner, who couldn't figure out the tax system to pay his back taxes, is advising us that closing the tax loopholes on the rich is showing the world how responsible we are as a country. Really?!!!!! Doesn't the world see how we spend and spend like wild abandoned adolescents on Spring Break? And that we believe this is the right way to address debt.

What Wise Parents Do
Thu, June 10, 2010 @ 3:51PM
It’s fun to watch our 34 year old son and his wife parent their four and a half year old and seven month old daughters. My wife and I think they are doing a great job with our granddaughters! They have dispense an excellent mix of unconditional love and discipline – two of the most important ingredients in parenting. Watching them and having other young parents ask us for parenting advice, got my wife and I talking a few weeks ago about four other aspects of this significant challenge. We thought of four contrasts that characterize wise parenting. Wise parents are both Visible and Invisible. Parents that are actively visible and present in the lives of their children have a much higher probability of raising children that reflect their same values and characteristics. There certainly is legitimacy in the debate of quality vs. quantity of time.

Flat Screen TVs--Nonremovable Fixtures?
Mon, August 23, 2010 @ 11:08AM
New technologies sometimes raise interesting issues and the fate of flat screen televisions in a real estate transaction can be controversial. Unlike appliances, light fixtures and window treatments, mounted flat-screen televisions and their hardware are not part of the traditional boilerplate language for items that automatically come with the real estate. It's always clear that artwork, although hanging on the wall, does not remain with the property. Some say flat screen televisions are like a picture, and definitely the seller's property. Others say the wall mounted brackets make them a fixture, and definitely the buyer's propert.

Untreated Poor Vision and Dementia
Mon, May 10, 2010 @ 3:46PM
In February the American Journal of Epidemiology published a report that evaluated any potential link between vision and dementia. And they found one! It turns out that if a person has poor vision- and that the vision problem is left untreated- in can lead to dementia. And the results were pretty dramatic: Patients with poor vision who did not receive proper eye care had a 9.5-fold increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. This same group also had a 5-fold increased risk for cognitive impairment. This was a University of Michigan study of 625 elderly patients over an eight-and-a-half-year period. At the start of the study all 625 patients were considered to have a normal cognitive function. The American Optometric Association strongly recommends annual exams for the elderly, and this study is just proof of one of the many reasons why that it is.

Commercial Real Estate Fees...a question from a reader...
Wed, April 8, 2009 @ 11:09AM
I recently received this great question from a reader about commercial real estate fees and here is my response that I thought I would share with all of you. “I have a question for Mr. Tasman: When a commercial real estate professional like yourself is contracted to find a renter for a landlord, what is the going rate? I have been approached by a woman who has quoted what I think is a rather high rate, especially for this economy. She is asking me to make big concessions such as 6 months free rent to attract a tenant, but she seems unwilling to budge on HER fee. Also, she insists that all the money be paid to her up-front. What happens if the tenant leaves, and fails to fulfill his share of the contract. I'm out the full fee, obviously, and I'm back to square one. Thanks.
