The covered facility first opened in early October on 30 acres of city-owned property on Baldwin County 20 thanks to more than $500,000 in BP tourism-related grants, following the 2010 oil spill.
On a recent Saturday afternoon, vendors took up most of the 30 spaces available for them in the market, offering a variety of Alabama-based products such as seafood, vegetables, homemade jams, honey and eggs, in addition to nursery plants and natural bath goods.
The market is set to begin its first full spring season, expanding on its winter schedule of just being open 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays to Tuesdays and Fridays, 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. The new schedule starts Tuesday, March 25.
"Making the local food available is what's really awesome," said Market Director Heather Pritchard. "Good stuff that helps our economy and our people. ... We're talking about sustainable food sources. We want to be open year-round and as farmers get more educated on how to carry their crops over, we'll always be improving."
A big impetus for the effort was to showcase not only locally grown crops but seafood too.
For Bon Secour shrimper Dennis Lane, the market provides another outlet for his fresh seafood that comes from a variety of local fishermen and businesses. He was all smiles recently while bagging tuna for Jerrie Millican of Orange Beach.
Millican said she bought some of the fresh tuna the week before and had to come back for more.
"I like the market because it has a good variety," Millican said. "I know it's fresh and it just tastes so much better."
Wayne Zimlich of Elsanor sells fresh eggs at the market and will have blueberries when the season is ripe. "It means a lot to me to have this available," Zimlich said of the market. "Before this I had to give my eggs away because I didn't have an outlet in between markets."
"It's going to turn into a wonderful market, I can tell you that," said Pensacola resident Mike Alcott, who has a booth selling his mother LaDonna Alcott's homemade product line of salsa, gourmet tomato pies and peach BBQ sauce. Most of the products are made from fresh vegetables grown by Elberta farmer Doug Gardner.
LaDonna Alcott said the market is accommodating and welcoming for vendors.
"It's wonderful," she said. "It's an open and good location."
She said the facility has a lot of amenities that other markets in the area as well as Florida do not have, such as something as simple as clean restrooms but also ice, allowing vendors to provide samples to customers.
Mike Alcott predicted that it's going to be so popular with local farmers that it will have to expand very soon.
And he may not be too far off as the city's master plan for the market includes eight buildings, but some of those are expected to be used by businesses.
The current focus is on improving the existing building, according to Pritchard, the market director. Last month the city was awarded a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for equipment upgrades to make the facility more inviting during the hot summer months.
"In order to make this place more comfortable as far as the heat and everything, we'll put up fans and misters and possibly some shades," Pritchard said.
Other money will go toward equipment that will help the city rent the facility out for special occasions, such as wedding receptions.
Another big boost for the market came with the announcement this month that a Gulf Coast wholesale food distributor will be opening a new hub in Foley. For local farmers, the center is expected to have a place for them to clean and package fresh produce that can then be distributed to a broad, local customer base, such as hospitals and possibly Baldwin County schools.
"The wholesale distributor really helps us get the food out farther than just retail," Pritchard said. "If we really want to show our culture in Baldwin County, eventually when you go to the restaurants you'll be able to get locally grown foods because the distributor will be able to get that food to the restaurants, schools, and hospitals. We're just getting started on it but we have big plans.
"We plan on being a model that others can use for sustainable food sources."
For more information, visit www.coastalalabamamarket.com or call 251-943-1545. The market is located on Baldwin County 20, midway between the Beach Express and Ala. 59, next to Wolf Bay Lodge.

Lagos stood still on the 28th of May 2015, as the first RIDE SHARING platform in Nigeria was launched. JEKALO is an online platform through which you can share a ride with someone going your direction or route. With this application, a user and the ride-owner are monitored, to secure their safety as well.
Either as a ride-owner or a passenger, JEKALO is designed to make movement to your meetings, offices, homes, or evening hang-outs much easier, lively and comfortable at a very low charge rate. For places like Lagos where there is heavy traffic congestion, ride-owners no longer need to have a boring ride to their various destinations.
In getting started, all one need to do is to enter your destination information and click on the 'search' button or join any available rides on the application; these rides would be displayed for you to view. In any case where there is no available ride heading your route, you can request for a notification when an available ride arrives.
The cost of the ride will be calculated and you will get a notification once the ride owner has confirmed your request. By the way, the first couple of rides you join are free, this is similar to Uber.
To offer rides, you have to go to the site, click on the "Offer a Ride" button and enter your route information. The JEKALO admin will scrutinize your ride before it is published on the platform and once it is published, you will start receiving ride request notifications from users for you to accept.
As a ride-owner, you earn points that can be used to redeem cash, fuel vouchers, airtime vouchers, mobile data and more.
In an article published in Ventureburn, Paul Adepoju said "Do Nigerians really need JEKALO or something like that? I think the answer to this is a resounding yes. Yes! Nigeria needs a service that allows people to connect to join rides without a company like Uber, Afrocab or anyone else interfering. For the individuals who want to join a ride, they get to go with someone who is not really a conventional (corporate) taxi driver but is someone like them that does not want to ride alone."
He also remarked that "Driving in Lagos could be very boring and lonely considering the long hours they spend at standstill and cars moving bumper-to-bumper. Drivers, especially private car owners are often annoyed with the fact that they are burning unnecessarily while lone drivers have to console themselves with any of the radio stations in Lagos. But with someone joining the ride, it could be less stressful – especially if the passenger is of the opposite sex. They also get something in return while the passenger pays less than what he or she would have paid for Uber ride."
However, it seems that a critical concern with the JEKALO initiative is security because anyone with ulterior motives could use the system either as a Ride Owner or Passenger to reach their targeted and unsuspecting victims. As a security measure for users, the developers of JEKALO have ensured that everyone must have to log in on the platform using both their Facebook AND LinkedIn accounts.
Adepoju suggested security systems such as; partnering with security agencies to keep track of each ride, hooking the passengers and the driver of the cars with panic alarm button, or perhaps putting up cameras within the cars could be helpful.
While the developers of JEKALO are at work to sort out the impending security risks and other peculiar challenges, we can say with certainty that the transportation industry in Nigeria is about to be seriously disrupted by this innovation.

Do politicians really feel that passing laws to change the SIZES of soft drinks will actually combat the obesity problem faced in the US? British researchers have been arguing that overpopulation discussions shouldn't be limited to head counts but should also factor in the weight of people. America is GUILTY of being a part of the heaviest nations in the country. New York City and now Cambridge, MA is starting the political process of passing laws that demonstrate that we as consumers know less about what's good for us. North America has 6% of the world's population, but guess what? We have 34% of world biomass due to obesity. Obesity equals money and a drain on the entire health system. I believe that corporations could start changing things at work. Since we are a country at work, including a lot of women, we could start changing the menus at cafeterias. We could start changing the menus at fast food restaurants. The problem I have with the idea of government mandating this is the argument that is essential to more or less government. Does government know better than me when it comes to decisions about my health? Does government believe that it can decide for me? This is a loss of freedom, but at the rate things are going, it's obvious that the freedoms Americans have been allowed to enjoy (eating a large fry at McDonald's and a supersize coke, for example) might be taken away in the future.
For example, where I work, there is a salad bar, but the main food is pretty unhealthy. The portion sizes given could easily feed 2-3 people. This is in a hospital. Just upstairs from this cafeteria, cardiac bypasses are being performed to try to correct the very result of the damage caused by genetics and more often our diets. Irony at best. I'm guilty. Believe me, I struggle with my own weight being about 5'7" and around 150 lbs today is a little too much weight for my frame. I know that my IBW is 133 lbs. This means that I am 17 lbs overweight. Seriously. I believe it, too. Yes, I look thin to some, I suppose, but that is because of what I'm compared to. If the majority of Americans are overweight and obese, well there you go.
So basically, if the entire world was as heavy as we are, that would be equivalent to an extra 1,000,000,000 people.
Put less in your mouth. Move. PLEASE. Please before government mandates it. Though, at this point while sitting in Panera and blogging and seeing the people around me -- maybe it's time we lose a little freedom for the common good of people.
Maybe we are too stupid to be free.
I guess

An actor from Bonnyrigg who co-founded his own theatre company is excited about his upcoming romantic comedy set in the beautiful game.
Saltire Sky Theatre Company will perform Tom Wells' play Jumpers for Goalposts at Paisley Arts Centre on February 28. Former Beelack High and Lasswade Primary pupil Nathan Dunn (22) began the theatre company with two of his friends from drama college - Josh Brock and Johnny Tulluch - and found success with their play 1902.
He said: "I just thought why don't we as actors start creating our own work. It's definitely something that's lacking in Edinburgh. There is no get up and do it yourself attitude. I think everyone expects it handed on a plate to them.
"We have done mostly new plays before. Stuff that we have written. So I wanted to give ourselves a bit of a challenge and take on someone else's work and do something that has a strong message.
"In such a climate where equality and LGBT rights is a focal point for people and a lot of the media at the moment this is perfect.
"So we thought it was a good time to get this story. It's a story of hope and acceptance. So it has a good message."
Jumpers for Goalposts is a romantic comedy about two players in the same football team. Nathan hopes to take the show to Pride festivals as well as the Edinburgh Festival.
He added: "This is basically a showcase for us as a theatre company. This play is quite well known and about 10 years old now. We have updated it and made it Scottish. It was set in Hull originally. We have moved it to Leith.
"It's nice to sort of get this story out there and get it seen. It's a hidden gem. It's set in a lesbian and gay five-a-side league. We are massive football fans and LGBTI rights is not really talked about enough in that world so it's nice to merge them."
Director Edward McGurn oversees the cast of five.
Nathan added: "We met him through college. He used to be our lecturer at Telford College, from Performing Arts Studio Scotland. It's good to work with him outside an educational setting.
"Rehearsals are going well. Everybody seems to be gelling very well. We all know how good it is but now we need to get an audience to see it. That will take it to the next level."

The guest room in my house has three things in it: a full-size bed, a $10 estate sale dresser and a nightstand one of my old neighbors gave me last spring. The room is painted a yucky lie of a color called "Harvest Peach," but it looks nothing like a harvest peach and everything like a Halloween pumpkin. And what makes the paint job even worse is the fact that it needs another coat. The old pastel yellow of the room bleeds through the Halloween pumpkin, but I didn't want to buy another can of paint and finish the second coat on principle. I just hate the color that much.
The door to my guest room is directly across from my bedroom door — making this monstrosity of an unfinished room the first thing I see when I turn the corner to go downstairs each morning.
Every time I even so much as look in my guest room, I start making a mental list of all the things I want to change about it.
I want a tufted headboard and I want to chalk paint the dresser. I want to get curtains that make more of a statement since they're so prominent and I want to buy matted prints to decorate the wall across from the bed.
And this sort of Fixer Upper mentality? It doesn't exactly stop with my guest room.
In every room of my house – I see a to-do list. I see furniture that needs replacing, whole décor that needs updating and spots on the wall that could use a little touch up.
The same want more, need more mindset extends into my wardrobe, my makeup bag and my suite of electronics.
The desire to have more, have newer, have better things has somehow become associated with contentment in my life – and I have no idea how or when that happened.
Let's be real and talk about the whole thing thing for a sec, can we?
More things do not equal more joy. A picture perfectly decorated guest room or bedroom or living room will not make my life void of problems.
Things don't equal happiness. And I know this.
Surely, we all knows this by now. We've seen the materialistic chase end in flames before. We've all witnessed people who want it all actually get it all – and we've seen those people be some of the joyless people we know.
So what drives us? What compels us to want and want and want? Why is it that I cannot LOOK at my guest room without making a rambling "MUST HAVE NOW" list that would clean out my local Lowe's?
The real reason? The one that stirs me on to crave the acquisition of more stuff?
It's you.
Because sometimes – more often than I'd like to admit – I care a whole lot about what you think.
I care what you think about the stuff that I have and the stuff that I don't. I care that you can see bleach spots on my towels and I care that you know that I sometimes buy store brand white pasta instead of the organic whole wheat Barilla kind. I care that you see the chips in my mugs and that you know that my TV stand was left here by the people who used to live in my house.
I care that my guest room is the color of Cinderella's pumpkin, okay? And I care if you hate it.
And in my ever-rotten people-pleasing mentality, sometimes, all I care about is impressing you. Sometimes, all I can think about is making sure you like it – whether "it" is my guest room or the dinner I'm serving or the cable package I have.
So I want more. I want better. I want bigger. I want perfect.
And the only cure (for me)? It's contentment.
It's gratitude. It's knowing that a perfectly stocked linen closet – chock full of Egyptian cotton towels or the highest thread count sheets won't buy me happiness. It's reminding myself – over and over and over again – that it doesn't matter if my guest room is Harvest Peach or Oscar the Grouch Green – it matters that it's an open and inviting space for you.
And the cure (for others)? It's appreciation.
It's expressing your gratitude – to them. It's reminding them that their home – Cheerios on the floor and dishes in the sink – is perfect. It's reassuring her that you don't care if the potatoes are undercooked and that all she has to drink is water. It's showing up to say, "Life is messy, we are messy – but I love you just the same."
More things aren't the answer, friends. Let's love more and crave less.
Do you struggle with wanting more / better / newer things? What spurs you on to want MORE stuff? Share in the comments below!

These are just a few words that described Shannon Heil, a full-time student who also worked full-time delivering pizzas, and who further made time to train (and win!) at the highest levels of competitive cheerleading. She was determined to do more – to make her mark on this world – in everything she did. She picked up the moniker "Fierce" on the cheer mat because of her bright red hair, her precise, athletic and graceful movements and because she was tall and powerful. From a distance, Shannon Heil was a commanding presence. In conversation, even more so.
The Fierce Five was created to memorialize Shannon's determination, strength and spirit. Lincoln Woods was purposely chosen to test one's core and endurance levels, just as Shannon was always challenging herself and others to do. Basically, it had to be FIERCE!!
All proceeds go to the Fierce For Shannon Foundation. The Foundation awards scholarships and grants to individuals and groups whose work ethic, drive and determination align with the way Shannon lived her life. In the simplest of terms: we fund FIERCE. The Fierce For Shannon Foundation is a 501(c)3 charity.
Event details and schedule
TIME: 10:00 am Walk and Road Race Start
PLACE: Lincoln Woods State Park / Lincoln, Rhode Island
Each competitor and walker will receive a Fierce swag bag, wrist band and tech t-shirt.
Overall Male and Female athlete's win a Fierce Five trophy.
All competitors and walkers will receive a Fierce Five medal.
This event is a family friendly event that will include live music, food and other special activities and guests.

It seems like those folks looking for work put quite a bit of time into what hopefully ends up at a mutually-fulfilling position with a firm that inspires them to be very successful. Think about it:
- Preparing Foundational Resume
- Preparing Foundational Cover Letter
- Researching Firms / Industries
- Reviewing Opportunities
- Matching Foundational Resume with Specific Opportunity
- Matching Foundational Cover Letter with Specific Opportunity
- Crafting Introductory Email / Post / Letter
That's a lot of work, and we haven't gotten to the phone conversation!
Given an applicant spends at least this much effort on contacting a company, why can't the company respond in kind? I'm sure crafting responses is time-consuming (actually, it is - I know), but shouldn't the company put just as much effort into reviewing and responding to these applicants as the applicants have?
I know in a tough job market like we're in today, it's tough to turn an offer down. But it has to say something about the company an applicant could potentially work for if the company responds in a half-hearted manner (or worse, not at all). Maybe it's just a yellow flag and doesn't mean much in the long run, but maybe it's a signal of something much more. A signal that could save you a lot of time and effort.
It seems to me that companies, especially today, should use this process as an outreach to all those folks that are interested in working with them. I mean, they are knocking down the company's door to talk with them - how many other departments would love for that to happen?
Take a few extra minutes and start a conversation with some of these applicants. You might learn more than your first impression.

I have had Clayton's 6 inch kit in my WJ for about 4 years now, and let me say it has been put to it's test. Great kit, great craftsmanship, and nothing better then supporting a local shop! Would recommend it to everyone! It's a large initial investment but it's going to save you money and time in the end. Well worth the money!! Great work guys!
- Key Features Of Clayton Offroad Products
- What are "Pro Series" control arms?
- Do you sell custom length control arms or pieces of a kit?
- Ordered a TJ/LJ/XJ/ZJ long arm kit, and one upper arm is straight and one is bent?
- Do you sell replacement bushings?
- Do you sell direct to your customers?
- Why should I choose Clayton Off Road vs. anyone else?
- Why do you use square tubing vs. round tubing?
- All of our suspensions come with the abuse-proof Limited Lifetime Warranty against bending or breaking of our control arms.
Powder Coating
- We use a black peel finish powder coating on our control arms that have a 2000 hour salt spray rating. All powder coated arms are washed, baked, then powder coated again.
- ¼ Mounting Brackets
- All of our mounting brackets are made from ¼" steel to insure strength and durability.
Grade 8 Nut Inserts
- We use a 1 ¼" Grade 8 high nut which is machined half way then pressed into our ¼ thick lower control arms. The upper arms use the same process with a 1 inch Grade 8 high nut.
- Lower Control Arms - 2" Square ¼" Wall Tubing
- We use this tubing on our lower control arms. The ends are CNC machined to allow greater weld penetration. Square is a much stronger shape structurally then round which also provides a nice flat surface for sliding on and is less prone to denting
Clevite Rubber Bushings
- We press these mechanically bonded bushings into a heavy-duty 2 ¾" O.D. housing and use them on the axle side of our lower control arms. They provide better road noise and vibration isolation vs. any poly bushing or even the Currie Johnny Joints. The advantages of using poly joints in a suspension is simply cost savings. They are much cheaper to produce, easer to assemble and do not require a machined housing to be pressed into, thus saving money.
Johnny Joints
- Hands down these are the most reliable articulating joints on the market and provide years of service with minor maintenance. Service parts are readily available, fairly inexpensive, about $8 per joint and only require a set of snap ring pliers and a vice to change. The advantages of a Johnny joint vs. a heim joint are in its actual design. A heim joint has a metal outer race, usually some sort of Teflon coating, and then a metal spherical center ball. First problem is when a heim joint wears out, you have to replace the entire heim joint which is much more costly then simply rebuilding the joint at $8 a piece. Second problem is that heim joints don't come with any grease fittings. They rely on that Teflon coating, and once that wears out and starts to squeak, there is not much you can do. A Johnny joint comes with a grease fitting, which allows you to grease the joint eliminating any squeaks or noises. And most importantly a heim joint doesn't absorb any impact. It is metal on metal, so any bump in the road, or bolder field offroad, you are going to feel more of the impact. A johnny joint is similar however that metal spherical ball is encased in a high density "tough 88" urethane that allows for some give.
Trussed rear 4-Link
- This system eliminates the rear trackbar. A truss welds on over the rear differential. Two upper control arms are triangulated to keep the axle centered under the vehicle and also provide pinion angle adjustments. The truss also strengthens your rear axle tubes making them less prone to bending.
Pro series arms use forged joint joint adjusters at both ends. Our standard arms use a forged johnny joint at one end to allow flex, and a clevite mechanically bonded rubber bushing which is pressed into a CNC machined housing at the other end which better isolates road noise and vibrations. Customer who plan on competing, racing, and intend to abuse their suspension systems usually prefer the pro series arms. The johnny joint uses a harder urethane bushings which will hold up to abuse better. Customers who use their Jeep as a daily driver and a weekend warrior usually prefer a softer quieter bushing.
Yes, but they are not available on our online store. Please call (203) 691-8593 or e-mail and we will be glad to help you with your order.
The straight upper control arm is used on the passenger side. The bent or angled one is used on the driver side. The angle is done for additional clearance for a high pinion axle. It may not make a difference on a D30 but with a HP D44 and HP D60 this angle make a difference.
Yes. You can order direct from our online store. Control arm bushings, and trackbar bushings are available here.
Yes. You can order direct from our online store. Or if you have any questions, or need help deciding what items you need for your specific needs, please call and ask, we are here to help.
There are many reason. Our reputation for a quality product, our customer service and our high level on knowledge on the products we sell. But every website probably says the same thing. Please do some research about us, we know you will come back.
Structurally, square tubing is stronger in the application we are using it in. Now this people have been arguing over for years. Is square stronger, round DOM, chrome moly, solid. We know our suspension systems are the strongest on the market. Once you see one, you will be convinced. And to help take any doubt out of your mind, we offer a lifetime warranty on all our control arms. If you bend or break any of our control arms for any reason, we will warranty it. For more information about this warranty and general warranty on all of our products please click Warranty Policy to view.

7 Benefits of Hunting Coyotes
What exactly are the benefits of coyote hunting? Here are seven, you choose which ones are most important.
In the last 20 years, the popularity of coyote hunting has risen, particularly east of the Mississippi, where populations have risen.
Though it is an unusual prey, there are at least seven good reasons to consider calling coyotes the next time you go out hunting.
When it comes down to it, coyotes are a manageable species if smart and ethical hunting practices play a role in that management.
View the slideshow to see the reasons why coyote hunting is a good idea, and leave more in the comments below.
Images via wikimedia
Manage the population
First and foremost, the best reason to hunt coyotes is to manage their growing population. Because they aren't a traditional game animal, hunting them has not been a reliable way to manage their population until now, and even still it's debatable if it has a big enough impact in the long run. But localized efforts have shown results.
In recent years, the population has increased, leading to many states initiating specific coyote hunting regulations.
They're eating game
Coyotes are predators and therefore hunt many of the same game we do. The same turkeys, deer, quail, ducks, and rabbits we hunt recreationally may be a coyote's chief source of food.
RELATED: Small Game Hunting 101
When the coyote population rises, the populations of game animals shrink. by hunting coyotes, hunters aren't just pursuing exciting new animals, they're taking out the competition.
They aren't afraid to approach homes and farms
Coyotes are extremely clever animals, which means they adapt quickly to their environments. If food is scarce, they'll raid farms and homes. At best, they'll simply clear out bowls of pet food. At worst, the family pet or the prized livestock may go missing.

They spread disease
Perhaps one of the most serious and unexpected reasons to manage the coyote population is disease. When a population grows out of control, mother nature tends to counter it with starvation and disease. The starvation alone is an issue for hunters, because it means the coyotes have already eaten all the available game in the area. The disease poses even more risk.
Like dogs, coyotes are subject to contagious diseases like distemper, rabies, trichinosis, and parvo, as well as parasites like mange, lice, fleas, and worms. Many of these diseases can be passed from coyotes to dogs, and from dogs to humans. And it gets even worse.
In spite of advances in modern medicine, the bubonic plague and hantavirus are still living diseases. While a trip to the doctor should clear up these diseases, both are still known to be fatal in an unknowing host, and coyotes have been known to contract such diseases.
They're a challenge
Every mythology has a trickster of some sort. The Norse have Loki, the Greeks have Hermes, and many Native American cultures have Coyote. How exactly did the coyote earn the honor of personifying the Native American trickster? By being very clever.

It's no secret that coyotes are smart and adaptable. It makes them twice the nuisance, but it also makes them twice the challenge to hunt. The sheer excitement of tracking down such a quick, smart animal is a treat in and of itself.
Their fur was once very popular
In the 1970's and 1980's, coyote fur was in high demand and trappers did very well for themselves by focusing on it. Though the demand for fur has since dropped drastically, there is still a fringe market for it, as there is with any commodity.

They're even edible
As strange as it sounds, bringing down a coyote can also provide a hunter with a good, hot meal. Whether roasted or stirred into a stew, coyote meat is a great reward after a long day of tracking down this clever beast.

Success = Business Model Design AND Implementation/
Many authors who write about business models fail to distinguish between business model design and business model implementation/execution. Yet, it is crucial to realize the difference between the two because they both require very different skills. Also, a company will only be successful with a sound business model design AND a consequential implementation. There is no such thing as a successful business model per se. This sounds obvious, but in practice the distinction is not always made. Often journalists, academics and business practitioners blame the business model for the failure of a company while the main flaw might lie in failed implementation.
In the graphic above I make the distinction between sound/flawed business model design and sound/flawed business model execution. Square B is the ideal situation where a company has succeeded in designing a sound and competitive business model and has been successful in implementing it.
Square A is the situation where a company apparently has a very competitive business model, but is showing difficulties in implementing it successfully. This can be due to various factors, such as the lack of experience (e.g. for start-ups), the lack of resources, missing leadership and so on. In such a situation the company will aim at moving from square A to square B, given they realize their implementation difficulties.
Square D is the situation where the business model is flawed, but the company is showing good implementation skills. At first it seems strange that such a situation should appear, but it can happen even to previously successufl companies with sound business models. This situation typically appears with the rise of new disruptive technologies or insurgent start-ups that rock the boat of established industries with established and similar business models. When a company finds itself in square D the first thing they have to do is to re-design their business model before readjusting their implementation/execution skilss.
Square C is reserved for companies that haven't succeeded in coming up with a sound business model and in addition are bad at implementing their flawed business model. Their path to success also goes through business model re-design and implementation/execution readjustment.
So much for today. I will write a new post about the distinct skills required for business model design and business model implementation in the coming days. For now I am ripe for bed - obviously, after a great weekend day with my son on a steamboat on the lake of Geneva and a visit to the steam-engine parc "Le Bouveret"...

Last year, Pennsylvania adopted a set of alcohol reforms, among which freed up the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board to negotiate lower prices with alcohol suppliers. Unfortunately, these reforms did not go so far as to fully privatize the state's government-run liquor stores. Now, according to Philly.com, the PCLB is using its negotiation leverage to warn alcohol suppliers that if they don't cut the prices they're charging the state-run liquor stores, the result will be higher prices for consumers:
"The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board told some of its suppliers in a July 20 letter that they had until Monday to cut the prices they charge the agency that runs the state's more than 600 wine and liquor outlets.
If the alcoholic beverage companies do not give in and reduce prices, the PLCB plans to increase prices to consumers on as many as 450 products by the end of August, according to the Pennsylvania Restaurant & Lodging Association...
The PLCB move is part of a series of negotiations that started last September after the agency was freed from its standard 30 percent markup on what it pays for products. That fixed increase had been in place since 1993. Under that regimen, the PLCB had no motivation to negotiate lower prices from suppliers because doing so would only mean less gross profit to the state (30 percent of $9 is less than 30 percent of $10).
Under the new so-called flexible-pricing model, which took effect Aug. 8 of last year, the gross margin could expand beyond 30 percent if the state used its buying power to get lower prices. The PLCB could also boost its margin by increasing prices to consumers..."
Read the rest here.

I'm obsessed with buffalo anything so these look perfect!
Twice-Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos
Seriously, if I could only eat one food group for the rest of my life, it would be tacos.
That's right; tacos absolutely qualify as an entire food group in my mind.
We had these the other night and they were so good! What I love most, besides the spicy Buffalo flavor, is that the cauliflower is baked rather than fried so you get that awesome crispy crunchiness without all the oil and mess that comes with frying.
Add to that, whatever fresh greens you have on hand (I used lettuce but also think kale or slaw mix would go great as well) tossed in an easy avocado crema and piled into a warm soft tortilla and you've got yourself a meal the family will love!
Another favorite Buffalo recipe:
Spicy Buffalo cauliflower with a cool vegan avocado crema on the table in 30-45 minutes.
- 1 avocado
- 1/8 + 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, divided
- 2 tablespoons vegan sour cream
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon lime juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 cups cauliflower florets
- 3/4 cup prepared Buffalo-style sauce
- 2 cups green leaf lettuce, shredded
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Prepare the avocado crema: To a mini food processor, add avocado, 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder, vegan sour cream, water, salt, and lime juice. Puree until consistency is smooth.
- For the cauliflower: To a large mixing bowl add all-purpose flour, unsweetened almond milk, remaining 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, sea salt, and ground black pepper. Stir to blend well. Add cauliflower florets and toss to coat.
- Set a cooling rack over a baking sheet. Remove cauliflower florets from batter and arrange in an even layer across the cooling rack. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- To the bowl used for batter, add the Buffalo-style sauce. Add baked cauliflower florets and toss gently to coat.
- Place cauliflower back onto the cooling rack; bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Toss shredded lettuce with avocado crema. To serve, layer lettuce and cauliflower into warm flour tortillas. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve warm.

Flat Steel Bar is a kind of steel that we often use, the Flat Steel Bar factory today to tell you about its temperature characteristics, a look at it.
When the temperature is below a certain temperature value, the material will be changed into a brittle state, its impact absorption work is obviously reduced, this phenomenon is called cold brittle, so the design should be based on the working temperature of the component to select a suitable cold brittle transition temperature material. Cold drawn large seamless steel tube deformation is too small, can not reach the requirements of surface finish and dimensional accuracy, also can not achieve the strength index of the component; deformation is too large, the ductility and toughness of Flat Steel Bar are too much, and the grain is pulled too thin, forming fibrous tissue, and the metal has obvious anisotropy.
We all know that the production speed and efficiency have a great relationship, but the speed can not mean that the quality can also be very good grasp, then how can hot-rolled Flat Steel Bar to achieve efficient, high-quality? Today the factory comes to answer for everybody.
To make the Flat Steel Bar fully deformed, it is necessary to properly control the speed of hot rolling, generally 0.5-1.0. At the same time, hot rolling to the specified stress and hot rolling rate, immediately after the stop pull 2-3, and then relax the bar, end cold pull to give the full deformation of the time. The production of hot rolled Flat Steel Bar is more in line with our use.
The line velocity difference of hot-rolled Flat Steel Bar is reduced, the rolling average is reduced, the roll consumption is decreased, and the improvement of tail shape reduces the wear of the steel plate and reduces its energy consumption indirectly. The average, more irregular deformation of metal, and uniform rolling pressure, in particular, the peak pressure is smaller, resulting in the board defects of the hole-type too full, due to the phenomenon of a large reduction or elimination of Shan, can be rolled thinner board the lower uniform rolling pressure can also use the cheaper inner air core rod, the lower pressure also makes the inner air core rod temperature rise drop, It can be cooled effectively by internal cooling and external cooling, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of hot rolled Flat Steel Bar.

If you haven't heard of Lochside Cycles before, let me introduce you! The Canadian bike company is based out of Victoria, BC and they have created a phenomenal business, taking their passion for cycling and combining it with their appreciation for great style. Their line of bikes include single speeds, roadsters, step-throughs like mine, the beautiful Lovelo as well as practical accessories! Their classic colours and attention to detail make their line of bikes eye-catching and dreamy!
The beautiful stitching, comfortable leather seat and the ability to change gears with ease are just a few of the reasons why I'm completely head over heels for this gorgeous ride. My husband has been a long time bike enthusiast and it's only as of recently that I began to understand and appreciate the construction of a great bike. I never really got it before, but when you hop on a bike that has been crafted out of quality products and designed with comfort and style in mind, you really do see and feel the difference.

Also app-wise I bought FiLMiC Pro and must say, that outdoors when the sun's out the results are quite nice However indoors or when it's a bit darker, the results I get from the FiLMiC app are rather nasty and the image has a super high level of noise. I quickly cut a comparison together to illustrate the problem. Make sure to watch fullscreen and hd/4k So, question is: who else is filming with FiLMiC pro and can confirm the problem or might have an advice for the settings. I got it set to 4k video, Filmic-Extreme quality and 30fps. Thanks in advance

Kangna Ranaut got inked yet again on the back of her neck last Friday by tattoo artist Sameer Patange at his Kraayonz Tattoo Studio.
The actress reveals more about the new inking, "I call this the warrior angel. I got my earlier tat done about a month ago. It was small and basic consisting of just a cross and wings.
This one is bigger and more elaborate. Sameer is excellent at detailing and concealing. He has added angels, wings, a crown and a sword around my earlier tat in such a way that he didn't have to remove it.
I have also designed rose buds on top of the rose handle to make it look more feminine."
She says she always wanted to have a tattoo based around the concept of a sword and angels with wings.
"I have always been a fighter no matter what my circumstances have been and I also feel that angels have protected me. Hence the angels, wings, crown and sword design which I conceived on my own.
The new inking session lasted almost two-and-a-half hours and was very painful. But the pain was worth it as now my dream tattoo is ready. I don't plan to have any more done now maybe when I get married and have children, I might have their names inked!"
Kangna says she was in two minds on enlarging her original tat. "When I had my first done I wasn't sure how it would look especially if I could carry it off during shootings and given the characters I was playing.
I kept it small as I wanted to check it out.
But then I realised I could always conceal it with make-up or wear outfits that covered my tattoo when I was shooting. I decided to go for a larger, more elaborate tattoo my dream one!"
Ranaut will be next seen on screen in No Problem, an Anees Bazmee film, along with Anil Kapoor, Sanjay Dutt, Sunil Shetty and Akshaye Khanna.
Her character in the film is a bimbette who is completely obsessed with her looks and the latest fashion trends.

Notice how the tasty kangaroo was replaced by an eery "No Worries Guarantee."
Careful mates, the Grocery Shrink Ray silently lurks everywhere; but from the looks of our ongoing poll, that's how you like it, anyway. If you see a shrunken product, break out your camera and send your sighting to the tipline.

Preparation precedes and paves the way for promotion. When I ran the half marathon, the reason why I had achy muscles after the run, was because my body was not ready for running it. I did not train adequately in order for my fitness to be up to scratch. I learnt a valuable lesson here on preparation. If you have the opportunity to train and get ready and you do not do it, you will suffer a lot of pain and regret. Let us learn from the Word of God below in the book of Proverbs, one of my favourite Old Testament books.
"Go to the ant, O sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief, officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer and gathers her food in harvest". (Proverbs 6:6-8)
This proverb gives us some really solid advice on preparation. It says if we look at the life of an ant, she gathers her food in preparation for winter. The ant is considered wise because of this. Wise people will value preparation, just as much as you do presentation, if not more. Conversely, if you do not prepare you are setting yourself up for failure. I read a dead right quote which said, "If you don't prepare to win, you are preparing to lose".
Before I ran the half marathon, the longest I had run was eight miles, yet the half marathon is thirteen plus. In order to live a life of no regret in Christ, do all you have to do to stand. Do what you can do as a human and leave God to deal with your inadequacies. What do I mean? If you are more than ready for the race, you can win the race.

This is more of that cedar from a friend. I wanted to make this look more like a mantel than a shelf, but I didnt really achieve that. I did get some great advise on how to hollow out the log supports and mount them from another LJ buddie, (ken90712) but I can't do it. Not just yet anyway, so I hung it like this. My chiesels are all dull from using them on the concrete floor scraping the varnish off. I guess I could get them sharpened and try it again later, but for now it's hung with screws and washers and it's tight.
Not much to say about this one. It's joined together with biscuits and glue and a few hidden screws from underneath, just incase. I peeled the bark off, sanded it down and just clear coated it with varnish. I like it. It gives more of that rustic feel to the cabin. Thanks for looking.

Nice work but: as a former fire chief you may want to check the manufacturers recommendations for proper clearences of the heater to combustibles such as the wall paneling and furniture. We used the slogan, "Space heaters need space, at least 36" from anything that may burn"......... Also how is this unit vented? Propane needs O2 to burn and gives off CO which is deadly.

Janice great work girl! I'm proud of you. One day when your free will have to chat on the phone about the way I hollowed out the support logs for the mantle ( you can do it ). I didn't use my chesils alot but some, so you will need some sharp ones. ( They always say a dull chesil is more dangerous then a sharp one!) I just spent 4 hrs yesterday sharpening all mine along withmy planes.

Janice, this is what I expect from you. What a big change in the attitude in doing what you can do? I like very much that you accepted "I wanted to make this look more like a mantel than a shelf, but I didnt really achieve that." As for me, whatever names found the book, the most important is the reality that YOU MADE IT! I love the corner look and its very functional.
Regarding the propane stove… It is portable, therefore just put it away 36" as required. Anyway, what is important is safety consciousness of the people using it. I suggest for your next challenge, build a rustic corner stand over that area to match your cedar shelf. That would be challenging and develop more skills in you including sharpening a chisel… Take your time.

Janice, Is that the one you want to throw away?... can also be seen at the left corner of your picture #2 … It looks good to me… All you need to do.. Get a new stone and BANG it on the TOP… ha, ha, ha… Joke only. But actually the lower portion is good. THE HEIGHT IS STILL RIGHT. MAKE a new top oversized 2" and put it on the top without screw but only double sided tape on each corner top… this will not destroy the finish of the former top…

For Students:
1. Do I need to have an engineering or medical background to participate on a MEDLaunch team?
No! Successful businesses rely on the expertise and knowledge of their employees from all backgrounds - so too do MEDLaunch teams. We believe that each student has something they can offer a team, and we encourage everyone to apply.
2. What resources are available to team members?
MEDLaunch provides a wealth of resources for its teams to utilize. First, we fund each team up to $2500 to conduct research and develop a prototype. We also have access to testing and rapid prototyping equipment at SLU.
3. Who owns the company?
You do! With Saint Louis University, MEDLaunch has been able to secure all intellectual property rights for its teams; this means that each team will own its product. We view each team as a start-up business, and we insist that team members do the same.
4. Will I get to choose the team I want to be on?
Absolutely. Each fall, MEDLaunch holds an event titled Launch Day where interested students can see what projects are available for the upcoming year. Students can then talk with each team leader (Team Leaders are chosen prior to Launch) to get a sense of which project they would find the most exciting. Team Leaders then reach out to prospective team members to form a team based on interest and team needs.
5. What is the time commitment?
Time commitments vary from team to team and member to member. However, you get out of MEDLaunch what you put in! At MEDLaunch, we look to attract students that are not only the most qualified but also the most passionate and committed to success. This is your startup!
6. Can I get class credit for this?
No. MEDLaunch is entirely extracurricular for a reason. We use this as a selection tool to find the students that are truly motivated towards entrepreneurial success. MEDLaunch is not a class project - it is an opportunity for students to create a business centered around improving healthcare.
7. If I sign onto a team, am I stuck on that team?
No! MEDLaunch teams are by no means static - in fact, we expect them to change throughout the course of the design process. We believe that giving teams the freedom to change and grow gives each team the best opportunity for success. However, any alterations to teams must first be approved by the MEDLaunch Executive Board.
8. What is the difference between a Team Leader and a Team Member?
Team Leaders are chosen through an application and interview process prior to team formation, and each team has one leader. MEDLaunch chooses leaders based on experience and motivation, and leaders may be from any educational background. Team Leaders are responsible for the progress and direction of the team, and they get to choose a project from our bank of "Problem Profiles" on which they would like to work. Team Members can then join a team based on their interest in the project.
For any other questions, please contact us.

Final Thoughts Ambon Photo Workshop 2015
Here is the delayed final blog post from our recently completed First Underwater Tribe / Maluku Divers Photography Workshop which was held from the 18-25th of March 2015. Although we have visited Ambon many times over the years and knew that Maluku Divers ran a fantastic operation, it was our first time holding a group event at the resort and we are happy to say that the entire thing went off without a hitch. The resort itself is well designed with 10 individual bungalows along with 4 spacious Garden Rooms, a dedicated camera room, a well appointed outdoor seating area for our presentations, numerous camera tanks and a well laid out dive gear area, and of course a restaurant that sat all of us in one big table along with fantastic food! We can't say enough great things about how well Maluku Divers runs the resort fro the seamless reservations ahead of time to the wonderful and friendly on site staff and management, the team really bent over backwards to provide us with everything we needed and then some. We will most definitely be back next year to enjoy the great macro diving and photo opportunities that we enjoyed with long bottom times and fantastic critter spotters.
All of our guests arrived were on site by the morning of the 18th (a few had arrived ahead of time to get in a few extra dives) and we were able to split the groups and get out diving right away. Each of our boats had a dive guide as well as a photo instructor aboard (neither myself or Luca carry cameras during the workshops, we only use our slates) so everyone was well looked after when it came time to finding critters and setting up the right way underwater. Our schedule consisted of 3 (very long!) day dives per day, 2 before lunch and one after, as well as the opportunity to do an extra night dive if desired. During the dives Luca and myself would help the photographers underwater in many different ways including but not limited to: snoot holding, help with strobe placement, critter finding, backlighting, reassurance on camera settings, ideas about composition and lighting techniques.
Each day we would present at least two different talks: one after lunch and one after dinner. After the third dive of the day we would meet in the common area to either go over the days dives, critique photos, or help with Lightroom in a "mini" workshop setting for those interested in learning more about that powerful program. Our talks at the beginning of the week concentrated on the basics of photography such as f-stops and shutter speeds and then became more "macro" specific by discussing macro composition, backgrounds, shallow depth of field, snooting, backlighting, and more! Feedback from the participants was fantastic as everyone felt they learned a lot from our presentations as well as the one to one underwater work.
However, nothing spells success better than seeing the results of our students work and on the night of the 24th everyone had to opportunity to show off their best work of the week. After a fantastic BBQ dinner put on by the Maluku Divers restaurant team we sat down (along with the other guests in attendance who weren't a part of the workshop) to see the results of a week of diving in Ambon! The resulting slideshow of images I have to say is possibly the best set of images I have seen in any of our previous workshops throughout the world as everyone provided at least 15 fantastic images toward the show. As a special treat, we were also shown a beautiful video from our video shooting attendee Nannette, stunning imagery all around. We would like to thank all of the attendees who came from all parts of the world to dive and learn with us! We had attendees from Australia, the USA, Malaysia, and the UK and we really enjoyed the camaraderie that was felt by all. The relaxed tone and fun atmosphere was a great setting for learning photography, making new friends, and enjoying world class critter dives with a plethora of incredible subjects! Thanks to all of our participants and the wonderful team at Maluku Divers, we will be back again soon!

Wildcard - Michael Sarian
As if anyone else hasn't been listening to this album non-stop, right? I wouldn't listen to anything else when it came out last December, took a few months off, now it's back in rotation. When D'Angelo came out with his first two albums, I was a kid in Argentina, so I only heard a few tracks here and there – never got really into him (although I did download Untitled from Napster and listened to that a whole lot). So I wasn't desperately awaiting this album… but I should have been. It's incredibly tight and filled with all these nuances and details: like throughout a whole track there'll be clapping on 2 and 4, but then all of a sudden, just on one bar, for one split second, they won't clap on 4. That blows my mind – the bass and drums are so together you get into this almost meditative state, and shit like that just snaps you out of it and forces you to pay attention.
Then obviously, once I figured out what D'Angelo was actually saying (thanks to social media and all that), I learned that it's full of political and social commentary taking it to a whole different level.
Before leaving Argentina for the first time in 2004, I realized that, at 19, I hadn't really engulfed all that the local rock scene had to offer, so decided to go to as many shows as I could. Among the many, was Luis Alberto Spinetta. I remember being turned off because he yelled at some dude in the audience who was filming him.
Time can change things, and so after 11 years I really don't care if he chewed some dude out at a show (it didn't take 11 years, but you get the idea). This guy's music and voice really defined and changed Argentine music in the past 50 years. I recently took a composition workshop given by Guillermo Klein, and one of the exercises he gave us was writing a melody to a poem that doesn't rhyme. He then played us Por, by Pescado Rabioso (one of Spinetta's bands in the 70s), a 1:45min song with Spinetta singing and playing acoustic guitar. The lyrics don't make sense, but that's because he apparently took words out of a hat or something, and wrote a melody to those random words. So this is something I'm actually working on: getting sentences/words/poems/lyrics that don't make sense and writing a melody.
Guillermo Klein – Live At The Village Vanguard
Guillermo has always been one of my favorite composers. I've seen him and his band 'Los Guachos' countless times. His compositions blur the line between singer-songwriter, jazz, and whatever else you want to call so-called 'academic music'. Just like with D'Angelo's tracks, you can get lost in them: the tunes flow, but if you pay attention there are all of these meter changes, metric modulations… moments of brilliance.
I caught a couple of the sets at the Village Vanguard when Guillermo was recording. Some of the guys working at the Vanguard said it was some of the best music they've ever heard at the club. Liliana Herrero, an Argentine singer, was with the band for their stay there, and her voice really pierces through your heart. She took it to another level. Guillermo also sings, he always has. It took me a while to really appreciate his singing voice – he's not your traditional jazz vocalist by a long, very long shot, but you can tell he means what he says, like he's really telling you something.
There's nothing like walking around snowy New York City while listening to 'Eternauta', the last track.
Kenny Warren – Laila and Smitty
Truth be told, I only have about 4 albums on my iPhone. Three of which are D'Angelo's Black Messiah, Guillermo Klein's Live At The Village Vanguard, and Kenny Warren's Laila and Smitty. I downloaded the last one shortly after hearing it on his bandcamp page. Much like Klein, I really dig the story telling and the singer-songwriterish vibe of the songs. Plus Kenny's singing reminds me of a less pop/corny version of Rod Stewart, in a good way (especially on the track Questions).
I know for a fact Kenny is a ridiculous trumpet player, but he doesn't really showcase it as much in this album, he puts the compositions in the forefront. His playing throughout the album is really melodic, and not a whole lot of extended improvisation. Plus he's got that whole Americana thing going on, and he blends his horn perfectly with the slide guitar and rest of the band. The combination of this album and Klein's (and Pescado Rabioso) is really prompting me to write melodies for lyrics.
Plus there's this line right here from the track Warm My Soul: "And I want you to be who you are when you're dreaming. Who you are when you're drinking, but without all the drinking."
Michael Sarian is a trumpeter and composer whose work has been heard throughout the United States, South America and Europe. Subtitles, his debut recording as a bandleader, is out now on Pulled Pork Records.

You all know the story: Lena Dunham told Amy Schumer a story about how football player Odell Beckham Jr. allegedly ignored her because, according to her, he didn't think she was "not the shape of a woman by his standards." Several people called her entitlement and mind reading on Twitter. Dunham at first chalked it all up to the "outrage machine," but a few days later she publicly apologized on Instagram. I haven't been following the story too closely because, quite frankly, I don't care about Dunham. I've never watched "Girls" because it looks like your typical Quirky White People Having Awkward Sex in New York show. However, I did read Zeba Blay's Huffington Post article about Dunham today, and it really got me thinking. Blay writes:
Lena Dunham is probably not a bad person. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging the reality of white entitlement, even if it complicates a carefully cultivated narrative of oppression which revolves largely around being an average-bodied white woman. This reality doesn't mean Dunham hasn't dealt with misogyny, and it doesn't negate her insecurities and fears. But by her own admission, her lack of self-awareness, coupled with her privilege and platform, can lead to the sort of tone-deaf characterizations of black men that are ultimately more harmful than they may seem.
Part of being a public figure means accepting that your learning is going to take place on a public stage. Dunham and other celebrities who make (even unintentionally) harmful comments should be held responsible for their words ― especially when those words perpetuate damaging ideas about real human beings. Dunham is entitled to her own perspective and story, but not to the minds and thoughts of the black men around her. [Emphasis mine]
I hate to admit it, but in a way I'm Lena Dunham. I've said problematic things and then got incredibly defensive when I was called out. I've refused to acknowledge my blind spots. In fact, I still do from time to time.
I don't say all this to make people pat me on the head and say, "There there, Trav, you're an awesome person!" Neither am I saying we should let Dunham off the proverbial hook. She has a history of saying problematic things. I'm just saying I can't stand on my high horse and act like my hands are clean.
As I recently told a friend, there comes a time in every activists life where you think you're being an excellent activist until someone says, "You think you're helping us, but you're not. You're just giving us table scraps. You're too busy making yourself look good. We're literally dying, and you're not doing a damn thing about it." At first you just write off your critics as the Rage Police, and maybe even yell at them, but then you realize you're wrong. Talk about getting egg on your face!
Fortunately, we're all works in progress. We're all trying to figure this shit out. The key is whether or not you learn from your mistakes. Hopefully someday Dunham will. And hopefully someday I will, too.

This morning Mara Liasson continued shilling for the Republican's incredible disappearing-votes machine. But it was her attempt at hip lingo that made me laugh. When Simon asked if Democrats are being unrealistic about winning one of the houses of Congress on November 7th, Liasson said, "Well, I think the Democrats do have a chance to pick the next speaker, but I do think there's a little 'drinking the Koolaid' out there. People are looking at these national polls and assuming that the Democrats are about to make huge gains." It was funny to hear those words coming from Mara Liasson. As Wikipedia describes it, the phrase means "to become a firm believer in something; to accept an argument or philosophy wholeheartedly or blindly." I think we know who's drinking the Koolaid!
Then this evening on ATC I was treated to extra large cup of Koolaid by NPR's David Greene who spends far too much time "traveling with the President." Greene was with Bush in southern Indiana at a campaign rally which he described as Bush's "first open, old-fashioned campaign rally" of this season. He said he was "really feeling the kind of electric atomosphere" and that Bush drew "an excited crowd." I wondered if it was like those good old-fashioned campaign rallies of 2004 where dissenters with the wrong tee-shirts got hauled of to the pokey? Or maybe it was like the "town-hall" meetings on Social Security where a bumper sticker could get you booted. But who wants to live in the past when you can hear our own cult leader-in-chief (rumored to be buying land in Paraguay!) "talking about the War on Terrorism, really getting the crowd revved up." Drink up...

Frogs – A Chorus of Colours Exhibit ~ Review
I had a chance to preview the new Frogs exhibit at the Museum of Nature and can tell you that it is amazing! It's on display at the Museum of Nature until May 2014 so go check it out.
There are 11 species of frogs on display, from the teeny tiny to the big big. Did you know that there is a species of frog that is as big as a human infant? The African goliath can grow up to 8 inches and lives for 40 years. Some frogs carry enough poison to kill 10 humans, but don't worry, they aren't native to the area. And we all know that frogs can hop and jump, but I didn't know that some can glide through the air. The Chinese Gliding Frogs have webbing between their toes that acts like a parachute allowing them to soar. You can see these frogs at the exhibit.
Before you get to the frogs though, you can play 3 holes of mini golf, trying to avoid typical frog predators, and the kids will love the frogs pictures on the ground. When you hop on them frog sounds play. So fun.
And then you get to the main exhibit which includes frogs in recreated native habitats. These habitats have waterfalls, rock ledges, and plants, and are low enough for most kids to peer in. They way they are created, the frogs are almost always visible so you're sure to see them all.
There are also many interactive parts to the exhibit. You can try a virtual frog dissection, learn to draw frogs, check out the skeleton of the world's largest frog, and more. My favourite was display of a frog's stages of metamorphosis with preserved specimens and my kids especially loved the lounge area where they could jump from rock to rock and pretend to swim in the pond.
While walking around and checking out the frogs you can also watch videos of frogs eating and listen to recordings of frogs calls. There is so much to learn about these cool creatures and this exhibit does a really good job of mixing viewing live frogs with interactive components. You will be sure to learn something and be dazzled by the sounds and colours. Be sure to check out the poison dart frogs, my favourite, who are the most colourful frogs on display.
Frogs – A Chorus of Colours is at the Museum of Nature until May 11, 2104. Admission to the exhibit is $4 on top of museum admission, a small price to pay for such a mesmerizing exhibit.
