It's not being called a "nepotism survey" – but a new questionnaire, sent to state agencies, should produce the first-ever official tally of how many officials' children and other relatives have been put on the Connecticut government's summer payroll.
In a memo sent earlier this month to the 16 state agencies that hired summer workers this year, Commissioner Donald DeFronzo of the Department of Administrative Services asked questions including "how many of the agency's summer/seasonal staff are family members of current full time staff. Family members include spouses, children, children's spouses, brothers, sisters and parents."
Responses were due Aug. 9. Government Watch requested the responses this past week, but the department didn't produce any, saying it was still sorting through them. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's chief of staff, Mark Ojakian, ordered DeFronzo to do the research after the Courant reported last month that children of numerous full-time employees had summer jobs with the state.
For example, three of 17 jobs at the Department of Economic and Community Development went to young relatives of DECD officials, one of whom sat in on the job interview of her own daughter. Meanwhile, 29 of the Department of Transportation's 56 summer workers have the same last name as a full-time DOT employee.
Ojakian has asked DeFronzo by the end of August to prepare a draft of a "transparent, inclusive policy for the hiring of these positions which can be applied across all state agencies."
Toward that end, DeFronzo sent out his questions about whether, and how, each agency makes summer jobs widely available. although DeFronzo wouldn't release the agencies' responses, he said in an interview that he thinks he'll be come up with a good count of how many relatives were put on the state's summer payroll.
"We're asking for a lot of things, including the number of summer hires who are family members. The agencies are complying with that request….So we will see some numbers,' he said. "Some agencies have hired no family members, while others have hired some… It really is a mix."
"I think the real concern [that] the governor identified is that there doesn't appear to be a consistent means of recruitment for summer workers," he said. "Some agencies do pretty good jobs" at opening up the hiring process, while "others have very restricted types of recruitment efforts – and that narrows the pool of potential hires."
"You have some agencies that have clear policies against hiring family members, and you have others that have sort of imprecise policies that allow it," he said. "So I think that's something we have to clarify."
The DECD jobs were not advertised, although the department says it recruited a number of candidates at three college job fairs in Danbury, New London and Fairfield. The DOT posted its jobs on an internal state website and sent job listings to the Department of Labor for distribution to its job centers.
DeFronzo said Friday that he's "looking at" a random lottery system for filling summer jobs. New York City uses a lottery to overcome nepotism and favoritism in filling thousands of summer positions. State Sen. John Fonfara, D-Hartford, has suggested the state research the possibility of a lottery for fairness' sake; he's criticized state agencies' failure to make summer jobs available to urban teenagers."
"There are a couple of complicating issues," such as certain jobs requiring special skills,'' DeFronzo said. "For example, lifeguards -- there has to be a certain skill set to a lifeguard,. So in those cases you have to be careful about a lottery system, because you want to make sure you get the most qualified people. Other places a lottery may work better."
DeFronzo asked the heads of the 16 agencies how many applications they received vs. the number of summer jobs filled. He wants descriptions of their recruitment efforts, including how jobs are advertised and whether there are recruitment efforts. He wants agencies say how they review applications, which staff members do it, and whether candidates are interviewed.
He wants each agency to give "a statement outlining current efforts to ensure a summer/seasonal employee workforce representative of statewide or area demographics."
He asked for the agencies' policies "with respect to the employment of family members of current agency staff in summer/seasonal positions," and "with respect to family members participating in the selection process."
"If employment of family members is permitted," he wanted to know how many were hired, adding: "[W]hat policies govern the placement of summer/seasonal employees so as to avoid potential supervisory relationships and other potential conflicts?"
He asked if there were "any special skills, licenses, certifications, physical requirements or medical clearances required" for the jobs, and requested "a description of agency ethics training practices."
The 16 agencies are: the State Library, the state Military Department, the offices of the State Treasurer and State Comptroller, and the departments of: Children and Families; Developmental Services; Motor Vehicles; Labor; Transportation; Public Health; Emergency Services and Public Protection; Social Services; Economic and Community Development; Energy and Environmental Protection; Education; and Mental Health and Addiction Services.

Newbie- confused about eletrical
Fri, 08/3/12 3:25 PM
I opened my food truck on July 4th at an area festival that had electrical hook ups, everything worked. Now I want to be able to run everything curbside. The problem is this, I do not understand all the watts, AMPs, and AH. I have a 4000 gen and a 7500 gen. Neither will run my truck completely. Here is what I have:
two steamers- 1200 watts each =2400 watts
electric 'oven'- 1500 watts
two warmers- 500 watts each = 1000 watts
fridge - (443/kw per hr? its a standard fridge)
Over head light and cash register.
I do not understand why the 7500 watt gen can't handle the load? I'm willing to do just about anything to get this thing running properly. Unfortunately, I also do not have anyone willing to work on the 'kitchen' part of my truck so I will have to figure this out. Any help is appreciated.

I learned when I was overseas, there is RED current and BLACK current. This is why the wires are red & black. You don't want to mix RED & BLACK current, as it will kill you. ... I think there must be someone on the other end pouring the current JUICE down each line. ... So if you are a cook and don't under stand how CURRENTS work, I suggest hiring a Bartender or Electrician. May be BOTH! ... hahaha ...

OK ... without the Frig, lights & cash reg, the warmers, oven, & steamers total 4900 watts.
Adding an allowance for:
the Frig (120v X 6 amp (?)=720 watts)
overhead Light & counter circuit (cash reg); assume 3 each 15 amp circuits (3 X (120v X 12 amp=4320 watts)
4900 watts + 4320 watts =9220 watts ... this is way more than the 7500 watt gen set. The calculated load needs to be less than 80% of the maximum load of the gen set or you risk tripping the gen breakers by over loading. ... The good news is that you can use both your gen sets by dividing the loads for each. But DO NOT cross connect the gen sets! I suggest using the 7500 to power the steamer, oven, warmer & Frig and the 4000 to power lights & cash reg.
Now some of these do not run all the time, but the you must assume they do (& will at some point) when calculating the output of the gen set.
The electrical rating you gave for the Frig is the estimated TOTAL power consumption for a year. A standard residential Frig draws 4 to 6 amps @ 120 v. I assumed 6 amps, but you must check yours electrical tag. The '443/kw per hr' is correctly wrote as 443 KWhr. That's 1 kw for 443 hours; or 2 KW for 221.5 hrs; or 443 KW for 1 hr; ect

Thank you for the information. I don't really want to run both generators. Space is a HUGE issue, I have a very small truck. And these generators are portable. So I am loading them in and out with each setup. I am looking at a commercial Onan 10000. I'll be honest, I have no idea how these generators are installed on the truck. (Keep in mind, this is the first food truck in our area). Scraping this truck and starting over is NOT an option, I have too much invested.
I looked through the posts related to building trucks but was unable to find information regarding electrical. If you have direct links, I would be appreciative. Thank you.

I just finally switched everything over to propane. Running 12v for hood system, water pump and lights. My life is so much easier now that I've made the full conversion. I'm going to be selling my inverter and my generator.
I think the more you can switch over, the better. Even if it's a slow process. Running around, trying to make a ton of electricity, is a terrible way to do business. So much can go wrong.

yea ... a bit much ... but the OP didn't tell us how many convenience circuits existed or the wattage of the lights; So as noted in the calcs, I assumed 3 circuits @ 15 amp (12 amp max code steady run limit). This would allow for other items to be plugged in too. ... Anyway the post was a basic demonstration on how to do the elect load calculations.
As already noted by other post, if the cooking equipment was changed to gas, then the 4000 watts gen set should be able to handle the lights, cash register, & Frig.

Thank you to those that are bearing with me. Here is some more information.
The overhead (fluorescent) light is hardwired as well as the vent hood (not used). There are 5 outlets with two plugs each - 10 total. The Circuit box shows 5-15 AMP breakers (they never trip). I never plug more than one appliance into any outlet.
When I used an online calculator to convert watts to AMPs, 9220 watts (120v) converted to 76 AMPs. Obviously, this truck is equipped with 72 AMPs.
If I remove the oven (1500 watts) and one warmer (500 watts), I should be able to run everything (total of 7220 watts) on the larger generator? But I can't.
I guess I will have to find an electrician to tell me if this thing was wired correctly?

What is the size of the main breaker and is it a double pole breaker? I think this may be abt 30 or 40 amp double pole breaker. Now a quick check would be to compare that to the gen set spec sheet & output. If the gen set is equal or greater than the main panel breaker, then you should not have a problem. If the gen set is less, then you have to remove some loads from the circuits.
I have an idea the truck is wire correctly (hopefully). I think one of your problems might be you are starting every thing up at one the same time by flipping the main breaker. ... You can't do that. There is a problem with power surge.
As I already stated the calculated running current should be no more than 75% or 80% of the rated load of the gen set. This is to account for electrical surge when appliances start up. For the 7500 watt gen set (assuming that is the max. output), you should not running more than abt. 5600 watts. You could draw more current, but not if appliances are turning themselves on & off. You need this reserve for electrical surge. And the closer you run the gen set at max. output, the more you will have to manually monitor & operate the unit (not good).
What is the brand and model number of your gen sets? The specs can be looked up online. A 7500 watt gen is rated abt 50 amps output.

You need a pro electrician. And I would be surprised if it doesn't take a good pro 3 or 4 hours of going through the system to figure out whats what with your truck.
Think about a couple of issues: picking up one generator and putting it into your truck at least twice a day is going to get old very quickly. And all the time you spend fooling around with anything else takes time and energy away from food and service.
Build your generator into the side below the floor of the truck.Just like a motor home.
Or build or buy a small trailer to mount it on.
Change what you can to propane.
You need to concentrate on food sales and service.

A Joint Research Center of the Law School, the Wharton School, and the Department of Economics at the University of Pennsylvania
ILE Co-Directors
|Michael L. Wachter
|Jill E. Fisch
|William W. Bratton
Founded in 1980, the Institute for Law and Economics at the University of Pennsylvania has an ambitious agenda that is more timely than ever. The study of law and economics remains the most rapidly growing movement in legal scholarship and jurisprudence.
At the heart of the Institute's work is the Corporate Roundtable series, which brings together members of the Institute's Associate Faculty and other academics with corporate executives, practicing attorneys, judges, public policymakers, and students. Over the years, the Institute has sponsored roundtables on a broad range of topics, including labor law and bankruptcy, as well as corporate law, governance, and finance.
In addition to the roundtable series, the Institute hosts several panel programs each year that explore important topics in the areas of law and finance. The panelists at the Insights from Practice programs provide students and other attendees with real-world examples of the complex situations they face in their professional careers. The Chancery Court Programs are a component of a Penn Law course on corporate law and finance co-taught by Leo E. Strine, Jr., Chancellor of the Delaware Chancery Court, and Michael L. Wachter, William B. Johnson Professor of Law and Economics. Two special sessions of the class are opened to the entire University community, as well as to ILE board members and invited guests, under the auspices of ILE.
The Institute for Law and Economics presents two series of public lectures: Law and Entrepreneurship and Distinguished Jurist. In sponsoring these events, the Institute aims to spotlight and honor lawyers who have led noteworthy careers and made significant contributions as corporate executives and entrepreneurs, or as members of the judiciary at the state or federal levels.
The Institute also sponsors programs aimed at the academic community. The ILE/Finance Seminar series, held jointly with The Wharton School's Finance Department, provides an opportunity for faculty and advanced students from the Law School, the Wharton School, and the Department of Economics to come together around areas of common interest. ILE co-sponsors an annual two-day Conference on Law and Finance, in conjunction with the Wharton Financial Insitutions Center, New York University School of Law, and NYU's Pollack Center for Law & Business. The Institute for Law and Economics also engages in curricular partnerships that serve the educational mission of Penn Law School.
Funding for the ILE comes from a diverse group of corporations, law firms, foundations, and individuals who endorse our work each year.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke announced yesterday that the Federal Reserve will do more to focus on economic recovery, possibly buying up bad assets and providing more capital injections to banks. Bernanke also said that Fed could influence longer-term interest rates by informing the public's expectations about the future course of monetary policy.
The Fed's policy response to the crisis was a frequent topic of discussion at last month's research symposium, "Preventing the Next Financial Crisis." Floyd Norris '83, chief financial correspondent for the New York Times, suggested that the crisis could have been tempered had the Fed used monetary policy to keep asset prices from spiraling out of control.
"I still don't understand why no monetary response is appropriate when asset prices rise beyond reason, but immediate and sharp response is needed as soon as they fall. Basically, I think that economists have learned the lessons of the 1930s, but they have yet to learn the lessons of the 1920s," said Norris, responding to the keynote address given by Professor Frederic Mishkin on the role of monetary policy in the current financial crisis.
Mr. Norris spoke as part of a panel with Matthew Bishop (The Economist), and Chrystia Freeland (The Financial Times) for the conference, which was held by the Sanford C. Bernstein & Co. Center for Leadership and Ethics.

The copper you would have to use is called ACR. Doubtful it can be had from any big box store. Also would want to use refrigeration fittings and joints need to be silver soldiered.
Can rigid copper be used for A/C Lineset? If so what type.
I know that soft copper pre-made linesets are typically used between the outdoor unit and air handler, but I would like to use rigid tubing to go from the 2nd floor air handler down and interior wall and run over to the outdoor unit in the basement.
The air handler isn't installed, but I would like to get the pipe in the wall so I can close up the wall.
The copper you would have to use is called ACR. Doubtful it can be had from any big box store. Also would want to use refrigeration fittings and joints need to be silver soldiered.
Most of the soft copper up to 1/2" OD sold at the hardware stores is ACR. 5/8 and 7/8 OD would be 1/2 and 3/4 type L.
The important thing about ACR is that it is cleaned internally. If you wanted to use type L hard, some serious flushing would be required before connecting to the equipment. I would get input from a good HVAC contractor about the feasibity of this.
Ok, so I pretty much figured I couldn't walk into the depot and pick the stuff up!
So my line is 7/8 on the larger and can't remember on the smaller. How is 7/8 the same as 3/4? Is it I.D vs. O.D?
Do they sell ACR in rigid lengths, and if so an HVAC supply house would sell them?
Now another quick question to throw into the thread, can they be soldered like water pipe using silver solder, or do they have to be brazed?
Brazing is the preferred way, less expensive and easier and you must have a nitrogen supply flowing through the pipe while doing it to prevent oxidation... anything foreign left in the line like flux or oxidation flakes can / may cause problems such as failure with the compressor.

I did some research on the brazing with nitrogen. Looks like many out techs in the residential HVAC industry skip the "niitrogen" in the lines when brazing.
What I read is that there is minimal brazing joints and minimal oxidation in the residential lines, and also if you use a filter before the air handler you sorta cover your self?
I do not plan on doing many joints, if any. My plan to run the 2 lines down from the second floor to the basement so then the connections can be extended at the 2nd floor and basement to the units. I have the coiled lineset, but would rather not try and snake this down the wall cavity.
The airhandler and outdoor units will be installed at the end of the season.
If you really, REALLY want the hard temper tubing in the wall I strongly suggest that you get the installer you are going to use for the rest of the system to install the hard temper tubing. Otherwise, when it comes time for the rest of the installation you won't have any guarantee on the lines in the wall. Probably no guarantee on the system either.
ACR tubing is called out by OD. Type K,L,M hard tube ( what everyone calls copper pipe) is called out by trade size, which is approximate ID, and the OD is always EXACTLY 1/8 larger than the called out ID. For example, 1/2" tube is approximately 1/2" ID, but the exact ID varies with wall thickness, depending on whether it is K, L, or M. BUT IN ALL CASES, the OD is EXACTLY 5/8"
We use rigid tubing mostly in commercial jobs. For AC use I prefer soft copper because you don't have as many joints and you have less fittings. The more fittings the more resistance, and the greater chance of leaks/contamination.
You must braze the joints and all manufacturers require you to do a dry nitrogen purge while brazing to prevent oxides from forming on the interior of the tubing. If you have a failure due to a bunch of oxide crud clogging the TXV they will not honor the warranty. A lot of guys don't do it and everything works fine but it is the proper way to do it.
After you finish brazing all your joints you need to pull a deep vacuum (under 100 microns) to check for leaks and remove any moisture.
Moisture is another problem using rigid lengths of lineset. It must be sealed and dehydrated from the factory or it will have crud and air which contains moisture inside.
If your system will be using R410-A you will really have to be careful about moisture. The oil used with it loves moisture it soaks it up right from the air.
I recommend you use soft copper, don't remove the rubber plugs just run the lineset and then hire an HVACR tech to braze the joints and charge the system. That way you don't have to spend thousands on tools you will use once. You will also know it is done right for the warranty sake.
Ok, so I guess my plan to go rigid isn't getting the support I needed/wanted from you guys :-(. So I guess I'll take the advice given and use the coiled stuff!
That being said I now need to snake this "semi-rigid" tubing that is all coiled up down a "straight" wall cavity. Any tips there?
I have a 50' lineset already purchased I think it's 7/8" and 3/8" already insulated on the larger pipe.
Can you fish a rope through that passage? Tie one end to it, and while someone is pulling, carefully uncoil the roll of the pipe.

Oh,the passage is wide open, I have the entire 2x4x14" wall cavity to run the line through.
I just forsee this being a bit tricky, it's not like pulling romex or anything.
I think you may wish to pull the copper UP from the basement so the rest of the coil can be extended to the unit.
With two people, one being careful to unroll and the other guiding it, you should be able to avoid kinks and guide it up (or down) the channel.

The hardest part is not tearing the insulation off the suction line when going through floor/ceiling penetrations. Second hard part is not to kink the suction line. 7/8 is a pain not to kink, just be gentle and take your time.
You might need a tubing bender if you are not expierenced with the larger sizes of soft copper.

How I Went From Homeless Teen to Business Owner in 7 Years
You can use these six steps, suggested by an entrepreneur who was orphaned at age 17, to catapult your financial life and climb the ladder of success.
You can use these six steps, suggested by an entrepreneur who was orphaned at age 17, to catapult your financial life and climb the ladder of success.
As competition for low-wage jobs that don't need college degrees has grown, it's meant higher unemployment and lower wages for those with less education.
How do you know when it's time to get professional financial advice, or whether your next more is something you can handle on your own? We asked some pros to weigh in.
College students naturally focus on test scores and GPAs, but once you graduate, the one number that really counts is your credit score. And the impact starts immediately.
The wages weren't great, but the lessons we learned from our first jobs are still paying dividends.
Recent college grads are often ill-prepared to handle the temptations of moving from a low wage to real salary. And that's when lifestyle inflation can hit with a vengeance.
While starting a new job can be exciting, the new employee benefits meeting may feel like a yawn-fest. But pay attention! Sleepwalking through it can be a very costly mistake.
When the bills start piling up and the 9-to-5 salary isn't cutting it, it's time to get a side hustle.
The road to riches isn't always straight and obvious. This week, we offer you three stories you probably haven't heard before about ordinary people with million-dollar ideas.
Hello, Gen Y! I've got good news and bad news for you. The good news is we've dodged a double dip recession. The bad news is that you're going to be seeing high unemployment for a long time to come. Here's some advice ...
When history tallies up the biggest losers of the Great Recession, it's not hard to guess who will top the list. Facing a brutal job market, plummeting wages, and a mountain of debt, many recent college grads have fallen behind before they've officially started their careers.
As summer's end nears, many of this spring's college graduates are finding they still have no jobs, no apartments, and no obvious prospects. One potential Plan B is relocating, and the fourth annual Top 10 Best Cities for Recent College Graduates survey has some suggestions of where they might go.
Members of the Class of 2011, you're about to be tossed head first into the real world, and -- surprise -- you probably need a little more education about how to handle your personal finances. Here's a Cliffs Notes crash course in Money 101.
Elizabeth Crowley recently graduated with a master's degree from Villanova University. Her dream job is to be a college teacher. But for the past two...
Today's newly minted graduates are facing one of the most difficult job markets in decades. So, for many, that means they're right back where they started -- living at home with their parents.

I purchased this dress to wear to a wedding. It is elegant and very classy. The detail on the neckline and jacket is just enough so as not to appear tacky. I'm extremely pleased!
Very comfortable, covered and flattered all the right places!
I bought this dress for my step-son's evening wedding. I am 60 years old, have problems with fit as I am 5'2" and a bit broad across my back and fairly well-endowed. Everything about this dress hid all of my issues and it is so pretty on. The ruffle at the bottom adds a fun detail. I know I will be able to wear this dress again to other events.
I was pleased with this dress the minute I opened the package. It is exactly what I wanted. The dress and jacket fit perfectly. It is so comfortable and allows for easy movement on the dance floor. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a contemporary and affordable outfit for that "wedding" or other special event! Thank you!
This little dress set is going to be a mother-of the -bride dress! It is perfectly elegant, as well as having just enough bling to set it off! The sizing was good, I actually took a size smaller than I anticipated, but the fit was great! The added flairs and ruffles in the dress really set it apart from many others. An added bonus - It is not "wedding" looking, so I can wear it many other times after the wedding!
The dress fit nicely, true to size, and covered my flaws. I liked the details, sleeveless for summer, but jacket as well. I would have kept it but it was too dark for a summer wedding I thought. It would be great for Autumn or Winter occasion.
I bought this dress for my son's upcoming wedding in May. I was hoping the color, navy, would've been lighter like the picture showed, but it is a beautiful dress; just enough bling for his wedding, and good enough for an elegant dinner out. It fits perfectly.
wonderful style but did not like how the center of the bodice sucked into the bust line.
Pretty in person. Got it in navy. Tasteful & flattering.
The photo does not clearly show the ruffles down the front , sides and back of the jacket. I was wiling to accept the ruffles at the bottom of the back of the jacket, which are clearly shown in the photo. I did NOT want ruffles everywhere so I returned it. However, it is really pretty and very appropriate for the formal occasion I was going to attend. But those ruffles looked juvenile and detracted from the elegance of the dress. Frankly, I don't know why the designer added ruffles to this dress, since they made it too busy. If you like ruffles, you will LOVE this dress. I checked that I would recommend the purchase because the dress (without the ruffles) is pretty.

Breakfast isn't often sophisticated. It can be satisfying, sure. Or hearty. Maybe even a treat. But sophisticated isn't a word that gets used for breakfast regularly. It is, however, the correct term to describe this dish when presenting it to your mum this Sunday for Mother's Day.
It's a very simple recipe, but don't let that fool you. This plate is full of texture and dances a fine line between savoury and sweet. With persian flavours and several surprising elements, it is both interesting and delicious to eat as well as beautiful to look at. Continue reading

"I have a favorite cigar now"
I've been trying a lot of new cigars, and I've liked a bunch. This was the first stick that I couldn't stop talking about all the way through. Great flavor from the first draw, to the last puff of the stub I can pull off. Very smooth smoke. Very easy to keep at a consistent temp. Had a little bit of an issue with the veins making the burn uneven, but that will obviously vary stick by stick. It's a Drew, so it's not for everyone, but if you like Drews, this is smoke not to miss!Vin in Denver, CO May 12, 2013
"Best cigar I have ever had by far."
I would dump my GF for several boxes of this. My favorite cigar ever. I could smoke nothing but this and die a happy happy man. Everything was perfect. Doesnt burn hot, i can set it down for 10 min come back and its still lit. Draw is perfect. It taste like the gods grew it. All of my friends love it. One word to describe this one.....*drool*Benjamin M in san jose, ca December 9, 2012
"Not for my palette!"
I must say, of all the Drew Estate cigars I have enjoyed, this is the first to dissappoint. Still has that great build and draw one expects of the DE line, but oh, how my palette cringed at the onslaught of harsh flavor. The sweet at the tip was its only saving grace... it softened the blow. Obviously others welcome this staunch stoag, but I must respectively decline. Shame I have 3 more coming next week. They'll spend some time aging in the humidor- maybe that'll whip 'em into shape. My suggestion, try one before you invest too much... make sure your palette will welcome its harsh presence!Cwick in Joplin, MO July 20, 2012
"Great smoke! Good to the end."
This cigar has a great taste to the very end. It doesn't get bitter toward the end like some do.Bill M in Newnan, Ga. January 24, 2012
"See my YouTube review"
VERY DISAPPOINTED...this sampler pack would have been better as a four pack without this stick.Here is my YouTube review: http://youtu.be/-ABH-r43CsQBrewVegas in Las Vegas January 2, 2012
"By far my fav"
This is and will always be my favorite cigar. I can sit there and smoke this stick for hours. Stays lit, perfect draw, tip taste sweet but not too sweet and the taste of the tobacco is just phenomenal. No nasty aftertaste the next morning, no tongue bite and it just looks soo good I want to eat it. Dont hesitate to buy!Ben in San Jose, CA January 1, 2012
"Too Sweet for my taste"
I read some good reviews and heard some good things about the cigar so I bought a 5 pack. Jonathan Drew is an extremely good blender, but here, he misfires. I took my first draw and it seemed like I bit into a candy bar. Entirely too sweet, and gets sweeter as you smoke. Personally, I've smoked my last Natural, and I here the Dirt version is even sweeter. Unless you like sweet smokes, I'd stay away from this one.MP in Boston, MA November 15, 2011
"Instantly my favorite Cigar! Perfect in every way!"
I am 39 and have been a cigar a day smoker for 16 years. This is my favorite cigar. I ordered the Natural 6 cigar sampler and inserted one into my Roly and Maroma rotation every third day. The entire six pack is wonderful. The Clean Robusto is to die for. If the Kuba Kuba is too sweet for you, and you want a break from the norm in a flavored cigar...THIS IS IT!!!Tim in Georgia September 30, 2011
"You should say in the description that it is flavo"
You should tell your customers in the description that these are FLAVORED cigars! I am so glad I only bought just one! It was the worst cigar I have ever smoked!!nat in Eugene, Oregon September 2, 2011
"Great tasting, well made, Even burn!"
I really like this cigar. It has flavors unlike any I have ever tried. The aroma of the smoke is also quite pleasant. It draws well with lots of good smoke. I particularly like the way its rolled up leaving the twisted excess on the top and bottom. Adds a real natural look to them and keeps the fillers nice. Overall, this is one of the best cigars I have ever had. I would recommend these any day. I got this cigar in my buyers guide #15 which is the bundle they gave out for the 2011 Cigar Expo. I really wish I could have gone. Sounded like it was a great time!Surain in Miami, FL September 2, 2011

Additional Ways to Shop: Ascend
You're tempting fate if you head outdoors and you don't bring a pocketknife or a multi-tool.
In the game of 20 Questions, asking "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" is a surefire way to narrow the scope of the mystery object. In the realm of outdoor pursuits, small items can deliver big rewards when they fill an immediate need. Of course, regardless of size no item is good if it's left at home. The dilemma for outdoor junkies is what to bring and what to leave at home. In many cases the decision is largely influenced by the size of the object itself. So, to take the guesswork out of packing, here are some outstanding accessories that are smaller than a breadbox, but big on utility in the outdoors.
You're tempting fate if you head outdoors and you don't bring a pocketknife or a multi-tool.
Beyond the Basics:
You're tempting fate if you head outdoors and you don't bring a pocketknife or a multi-tool. Both these items come in various sizes right down to models only a few inches in length. You can even get a knife kit the size of a credit card that fits in your wallet. Folding pliers, scissors, tweezers, and can openers - all these things are really handy when outdoors. I seldom stray into the bush without carrying a blade - no matter how small.
Little Lights:
Following on the heels of pocket knives and multi tools, flashlights are also worthy of packing for most outings. I have a small light I bring whenever I'm sleeping somewhere new. It's great to use on late night bathroom breaks so I don't fumble around in the dark, stubbing my toe or knocking something over.
LED lights have reduced the overall size of flashlights in the last several years. LED lights last longer than regular bulbs and draw a very small amount of battery power. Even the super-small keychain LED lights can come in handy.
I also find the tiny headlamps excellent add-ons. They'll easily fit in a pack and help you find your way back to a boat launch or campsite during dusk. Headlamps are the type of gear that once you own one, you wonder how you managed without it. Gift buyers take note!
Tying it Down:
I find myself regularly securing things in place when outdoors, whether it's a canoe to a car top or a baseball cap to a backpack. I find carrying some rope and stretch cords always seem to be useful outdoors.
Another multifunctional product is a carabiner, and you don't have to be mountain climbing to use them. I clip all sorts of things to my backpack with them (including water bottles and hats) and have used them as makeshift rope guides on canoes and around camp. They're small, lightweight and extremely handy.
Garmin's Rhino unit even features a 2-Way Radio so you can communicate with family and friends as well as know their location.
GPS Units:
Garmin's Rhino unit even features a 2-Way Radio so you can communicate with family and friends as well as know their location.
While on the subject of small electronics, a hand-held GPS unit packs a phenomenal punch for its size when it comes to information outdoors. Plot a route, store your campsite as a waypoint or know your traveling speed. Garmin's Rhino unit even features a 2-Way Radio so you can communicate with family and friends as well as know their location. Don't forget to bring a lot of batteries for these units and remember that battery life is reduced in cold temperatures. If planning serious backcountry navigation, bring a traditional compass and a map as backup, and be confident navigating with these tools.
I can remember being in Boy Scouts and hanging out in outdoor shops looking at all the gear. Outdoor containers were key back then, but in the past two decades there have been major advancements in their design and materials.
Old film cases are excellent for packing matches, fishing weights and hooks, or other small odds and ends. Of course, you could also buy specialty small-sized container for any of the above. I also like the soft and hard plastic, waterproof containers for carrying electronics and cameras when around water. Compression sacks are a great way to squish bulky items (like sleeping bags) down to a small, compact size. Stuff sacks and duffel bags are also basic but extremely useful for outings.
Water Bottles and Packs:
Carrying adequate water is critical when outdoors to ensure you stay hydrated. Both hard plastic bottles and soft plastic packs have their utility outdoors. Today's high-end products are leak-proof, often don't absorb odors or dyes, and are extremely durable. My Nalgene water bottles have joined me on my travels for over 10 years and they're still in great shape. An awesome investment for less than 10 dollars!
Small Stoves and Lanterns:
One burner stoves and lanterns are extremely lightweight and compact. Available in propane or gas fueled models, consider sticking to one fuel to simplify your packing. Lanterns also come in battery powered models. Complement the stove with a small cook set and utensils and you're ready to go. Don't forget that you don't need to be camping to use these items. I've gotten hooked on bringing my stove ice fishing. It only takes a few minutes to fire up some hearty soup or chili to keep me toasty.
Of course, carrying a Thermos with hot coffee or tea is another great way to pack some heat in a relatively small container. In hot weather, it's easy to keep cool if you carry small ice packs. Slip them in a small cooler to have refreshing drinks at your fingertips.
Seasonings, Sauces and Condiments:
I'll confess, it took multiple outings where I forgot things like pepper, salt, and ketchup before their importance outdoors was etched in my mind. Of course, you don't need a whole spice rack, but carrying a few spices and a sauce or two can aid in making outdoor cooking savory. Coghlan's Backpacker's Salt and Pepper Shakers are great to have to carry some simple spices.
This list could go on for pages, but some basic and small items can really make a difference in your comfort when outdoors. Here are just a few. A wool hat can be worth its weight in gold on cold, windy days. In hot weather, a bandana is a simple but versatile accessory. Wear it to shade your head from heat; turn it into a wash cloth; or, use it as a temporary tie down to keep things secure in your canoe. Quality socks are also critical if you're taking long hikes. Padded to protect your feet from hotspots with moisture-wicking fabric to prevent blisters, good socks are a must.
Sun Protection:
Sun protection is more important than ever when outdoors. Both sunglasses and a bottle of sunscreen take up little room in a backpack and offer protection from the sun's rays. If you invest in a quality pair of sunglasses also drop a few dollars on a decent protective case.
Just as important is a rimmed hat and lightweight clothing that will cover your limbs. Some clothing lines even boast UV protection, worthy of consideration if you'll be out in extreme conditions.
Keeping Clean:
When outdoors you have to sacrifice a few luxuries now and then, but you don't have to go to extremes. Small packs, or toiletry kits, are a simple way to have all the products you need for multi-day trips. Look for environmentally-friendly, biodegradable soaps when washing outdoors and follow their directions. Another good addition to your cleaning kit is a micro-fiber towel. These cloths have amazing absorption ability but take up little space in a pack. They also dry extremely fast.
The above are just a few items that aren't bigger than a breadbox, but are great to carry outdoors. Consider them the next time you're gearing up for your next trip. Small in size, they deliver big rewards in terms of comfort, safety and utility. Oh, and one more small but critical item to pack - bug spray. Forget this, and you might find yourself wishing you could forget the whole trip.

First I just want to say that I got a great cut when I visited. [The Regency student] did an amazing job. She was very patient with me since I didn't really know what I wanted, we looked through books together and once I found something she made it happen. I love the cut and have gotten tons on compliments on it.

Pizza >Sam's Pizza Shop
525 Adams Ave, Canonsburg, PA | Directions 1531740.265831 -80.172686
Used to be better – It has changed and the slices became smaller than before because of the economy. Price rose.
It seemed too pricey for that small square piece.
Not the Same... – If you're used to the original Sam's Pizza this is not it. Too skimpy on toppings and you can really tell (by watching them work) they expect people to come to the shop. They are not winning you over with their service...especially the dude with the straight gray hair slopping pizzas in the boxes. WashCoCritic ---Score 4 outa ten I'm only coming back if my ego is over inflated and I need mad dogged at a local pizza shop.
One of my favorite slices! – This pizza is the real deal. It's homemade pizza, Italian style. Light, crispy crust, delicious homemade sauce and cheese that melts in your mouth. Awesome!! Even when I'm looking to have pizza delivered, I'll go ahead and take a ride down the road to pick this up, instead. It's also a lot cheaper than the nasty tasting chain-style pizza. The only thing I have against Sam's is that they don't deliver.
totally AmAzInG – As soon as we walked in the door, everyone welcomed us to Sam's! It was if we had walked into our family's own kitchen. The service was out of this world!!! And the food....... WOW!!! I know food, and this place is to die for!!!! Thank you all!!! We will be back again real soon.
CHEAP RIPOFF – This pizza is nothing like the original Sam's. It is a cheap ripoff. The owner is cocky, unpleasant and has people working for him that look like dirtballs. I mean these people are cooking food, he couldn't find someone cleaner? I will never eat there again, you can find the original Sam still cooking, if you look hard enough at other pizza places, and this dirty shop will never replace him.
AMAZING Homeade Pizza!!! – I've been coming here since I was young, and I've tried many other pizza's and this place is one of the best! They have DAMN good pizza! Excellent cheese and soft thick pizza! It's also right next to Sarris too!
greatest pizza ever – This pizza is real "Italian", the sauce is out of this world, the taste keeps you coming back for more. All their hoagies are great, I've tried them all, they have a really good strombolie. I highly recommended this place to everyone.
