Denny's Mac 'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt: A 'monstrosity' of a meal? (The Week)

New York ? The behemoth sandwich boasts a hamburger patty, macaroni and cheese, a side of fries, 1,690 calories, and an eye-popping 99 grams of fat

The image: Denny's, the largely nutrition-indifferent chain restaurant that brought you the Fried Cheese Melt, has introduced a new novelty sandwich "monstrosity." The Mac 'n Cheese Big Daddy Patty Melt features a "hand-pressed beef patty topped with our new creamy Mac 'n Cheese, melted cheddar cheese and zesty frisco sauce on grilled potato bread." Along with the side of fries, this hedonistic entree packs in 1690 calories and 99 grams of fat.

The reaction:?Finally,?says Phil Villareal at?The Consumerist, a solution for those of us who have "always been annoyed at how difficult it is to wedge bites of a patty melt and macaroni and cheese into your mouth at the same time." Yes, this "totally stomps all over [Denny's] previous effort, the Fried Cheese Melt, both in calorie count (1690 vs 895) and novelty level," says Paula Forbes at Eater. The only way they can top this artery clogger now is if they "serve it on a donut." Egads, America, says Andy Dawson at Bitter Wallet. Eating this sandwich "can be seen as a cry for help, maybe even an actual suicide attempt." Feast your eyes (at your own risk):

Brazil president: 2014 WCup stadiums will be ready

updated 12:34 p.m. ET Aug. 30, 2011

BRASILIA, Brazil - Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff says the construction or renovation of nine of the 12 stadiums that will host 2014 World Cup will be finished next year.

Rousseff says in her weekly column published Tuesday that work on the stadiums is proceeding at an "adequate pace."

She says nine stadiums will be ready by December 2012. She says the other three will ready one year later.

The slow pace of stadium construction or renovation is a concern as Brazil prepares for the World Cup, along with the lack of airport infrastructure.

Rousseff says airports in six cities hosting World Cup matches are being expanded, and the bidding process for the renovation of another five airports is under way.

British cadet dies after Calif. skydiving accident (AP)

LOS ANGELES ? The British Consulate in Los Angeles says one of two military cadets critically injured in a skydiving jump in Southern California has died.

Consulate communications officer Katharine Keith said Wednesday the cadet died Monday at a hospital in Riverside County.

She says the other cadet remains hospitalized but his condition has been upgraded to serious and his family is with him.

Keith would not release the name of either man and says the cause of the Aug. 26 accident is still under investigation.

She says both men were UK officer cadets, a program similar to the ROTC in the United States, and they were doing adventure training exercises at the Lake Elsinore Parachute Center.

Investigators say the men collided during their descent, after jumping from the plane.

Coppola, Ecclestone get stylish Italian weddings (omg!)

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Two globe-trotting celebrities, Sofia Coppola and Petra Ecclestone, held weddings in Italy over the weekend, one low-key and the other over-the-top, according to media reports on Sunday.

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Coppola and her longtime musician boyfriend, Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars, were married on Saturday in the Italian village that was home to Coppola's grandparents.

On the same day, British heiress Ecclestone tied the knot with businessman James Stunt outside Rome, capping a three-day event with a reported price tag that ranged widely from $2 million to $8 million, according to various reports.

The Ecclestone-Stunt wedding took place at the same castle where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes married, and featured fireworks as well as performances by Eric Clapton and the Black Eyed Peas, according to People magazine.

Ecclestone, a 22-year-old fashion designer, is the daughter of former Armani model Slavica and Formula One racing chief executive Bernie Ecclestone. She's no stranger to lavish spending: In July, she paid $85 million for the Los Angeles mansion that was once the home of Aaron and Candy Spelling.

By contrast, Coppola and Mars were wed in a civil ceremony before 80 guests at the Coppola family's villa in the southern Italian town of Bernalda.

Wearing a custom lavender gown by Azzedine Alaia, the 40-year-old bride walked down the aisle on the arm of her father, "Godfather" director Francis Ford Coppola, who owns the estate, according to reports.

Coppola and rocker Mars, 34, have two daughters: Romy, 4-1/2, and Cosima, 15 months.

Coppola won the screenwriting Oscar for her movie "Lost in Translation," and became the first American woman to be nominated for an Academy Award for directing.

Her first marriage, to director Spike Jonze, ended in divorce in 2003 after four years.

Improving every single day

My last question of the day: Did I improve today? Here are six areas for self-improvement.

The one question I ask myself each day as I go to bed is, ?Did I grow in some fashion today?? If I can?t answer that question with at least one very strong and clear statement, I view that day as a failure.

The Simple Dollar is a blog for those of us who need both cents and sense: people fighting debt and bad spending habits while building a financially secure future and still affording a latte or two. Our busy lives are crazy enough without having to compare five hundred mutual funds ? we just want simple ways to manage our finances and save a little money.

Recent posts

What do I mean by that? Let?s break it down into smaller pieces.

First of all, why? This type of self-evaluation provides a constant push forward for me to better myself in some way or another. Each and every day, I?m encouraged to do something to improve.

Why improve? The more well-rounded I am and the stronger my skill set, the more valuable of a person I become and the more avenues of life there are for me to enjoy. If I?m in good physical shape, for example, I?m able to keep up with my kids and participate in some sports. If I?ve learned a new skill, not only can I utilize it at home, I can share it with friends and perhaps be employed with it. If I?m in good spiritual and mental shape, I?m able to handle the challenges that life throws at me. The list goes on and on.

What do I look for? I usually look for improvement in six areas.

Emotional improvement comes from being happy with my life and resolving areas where I do not feel happy with things. If there is something that has been bothering me and bringing down my mood, taking steps to address it is a step toward improving my emotional state.

Mental improvement means that I?m more able to deal with adverse situations that life throws at me. Learning tactics for dealing with stress and applying them is a step in this area, as are tactics for parenting and improving my skill set for dealing with things in everyday life.

Physical improvement comes from simply being physically active. Did I get some exercise today? Did I eat well today (and by eating well, I don?t mean eating a lot, but instead mean eating good things)?

Spiritual improvement means that I came to a better understanding of who I am and my place in the world and the universe. Prayer and meditation usually help here.

Interpersonal improvement comes from building relationships with other people or improving the ones I already have. Did I build a new friendship today? Did I let someone important to me know what they mean to me today? Did I figure out what relationships really matter and which ones do not?

Intellectual improvement is pretty simple to define: did I learn anything new of real value today? I usually feed this through reading, research, or brain-crunching games (like chess).

A great day is one where I improve in some significant way in multiple areas. If I got a lot of exercise, learned a new parenting technique and actually used it, learned how to repair a bathtub drain, and also read a large portion of a thought-provoking book, then today was a successful day.

Not every day needs to be successful, but most of them ought to be. I try very hard to make each day successful in at least one of these areas. Yes, sometimes that means not kicking back and reading a page-turner in the evenings. Sometimes it means having to take a tough stance with my children or having a difficult conversation with my wife or overcoming my introvertedness to build a friendship.

Day after day, week after week, year after year, though, the rewards of doing this become apparent in the friendships you have, the opportunities you have, the internal life you have, and the future you have.

Make each day your masterpiece.

ITV Studios Signs Exclusive Red or Black? Online Gaming ...

ITV Studios and Gamesys, the UK?s leading online gaming company, have signed a deal which will see Gamesys produce a series of online Red or Black? games. Working in partnership with ITV Studios and Syco TV, Gamesys has developed four pay to play Red or Black? online games which will be hosted on their website http://www.jackpotjoy.com and supported by a new on-air promotional campaign.

ITV, Syco TV and Gamesys have also partnered with 2-Screen Social TV specialists Monterosa to create a live online play-along experience for Red or Black? The play-along game allows the audience to play in sync with the TV contestants, for free, from the comfort of their sofa. Online players can compete with their Facebook friends and unlock achievements that enhance the game.

Red or Black Slots, Red or Black Instant, Red or Black Hi Lo and Red or Black Stacks will launch on www.jackpotjoy.com?on the 2nd September 2011 and the play-along game will be available at itv.com/redorblack from the first transmission of the gameshow event on Saturday 3rd September.

Denise O?Donoghue, Managing Director, ITV Studios UK said: ?A primetime production of the scale of Red or Black? clearly has a huge amount of potential off-air; working with Syco we have been exploring the best opportunities to fully exploit this fantastic programme idea. Gamesys are experts in branded online gaming and are well positioned to reap maximum value from Red or Black? in this area.

Richard Williams itv.com said: ?Red or Black offers a great opportunity for viewers to play along at home in real time and we?re really excited about the experience that has been created in partnership with both Gamesys and Monterosa.?

Lee Fenton COO of Gamesys, said: ?Red or Black is the most exciting TV event of the year and at Gamesys we are delighted to be working with ITV Studios and SYCO to develop exclusive games that capture the excitement of the show and allow Jackpotjoy players to make their own Red or Black decisions?

Simon Brickle, Monterosa Managing Director, Monterosa said: "2-Screen is becoming a valuable part of mainstream entertainment formats and we're delighted to have the opportunity to bring our experience to such a big and spectacular show."

Red or Black? is a brand new gameshow event. In each episode thousands of hopefuls are reduced down to just one person through a series of games where the outcome is always Red or Black. The last person remaining will then make a simple, yet ultimately life-defining decision that will see them walk away with a life changing sum of money.

The game begins at the Red or Black? arena where thousands of contestants arrive all hoping to correctly predict the outcome of the first spectacular game,just ten spectacular decisions will make them a millionaire. If they are successful they will be one step closer to the big cash prize. The next stage sees more dramatic rounds played out in beautiful venues around the country; hundreds of contestants are reduced to a handful.

For the lucky few, whose good fortune stretches all the way to the studio, they will be four correct choices away from becoming rich live on television. The show climaxes with the spin of the Red or Black? wheel and the contestant just has to predict the colour on which the ball will land - Red or Black?

Red or Black? is co-produced by Syco TV and ITV Studios for ITV1. Jackpotjoy is the UK?s leading gaming site that pays out over ?4 Million per day in winnings and has more than 10 winners per second.
