Is Anyone Participating in a CSA?
- delys77 Mar 2, 2012 11:45 AM
Hello all
Just wondering if anyone in the lower mainland is participating in a CSA. What kind of stuff do you get in the summer, are you happy with pricing, and do you have to make regular trips to the store for missing produce items (i.e. garlic, onions etc...).
Ah yes my apologies! Before posting I thought "make sure you define it" but then of course I forgot to do so.
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Essentially a farmer sells CSA memberships to people for a set price before the planting season begins. The farmer uses this money to help him fund his farming operation and when he starts to harvest he shares the farm produce equally with all the members of the CSA that bought a membership. Usually you go to a farmers market once a week and pick up your box of goodies. The thing is you don't know what will be in your box so you sort of have to be ready to work with what you get.
I have been thinking of doing this for a while now but I was curious as to how people find it. We all know our growing season here in Vancouver is short, so is it worthwhile.
re: Georgia Strait
Not quite. It would seem the short answer is that very few people are using them since no one knows what it is ha ha.
re: delys77
do you know what the city Vancouver project linked above is about? it's not really clear to me - tho it sounds interesting, as does approach you refer to in your OP.
i like the idea of container gardening - it's amazing where swiss chard will grow, even as volunteer plant. PLus i like idea of mixing some ornamental (geranium for eg) with leafy like chard
We did a CSA with Glen Valley Co-op out in Abbotsford a couple of years ago...while we were happy with the pricing and the quality of the produce, it was a bit too much for the two of us in terms of quantity, particularly as we wanted to check out the farmers' markets as well, so we didn't continue. As far as I can recall, we got chard, kale, lettuce, carrots, squashes, zucchini, onions, cucumber etc. but we did find ourselves supplementing our box with trips to the grocery store-- that may just be due to the stuff we like to eat...
re: À la carte
Oh that is good to know a la carte. There are also justbtwonof us here so we might face a similar problem.
Finally have some time to reply...
I'm very into CSAs and have participated in several!
For a number of summers - I've participated in UBC farm's CSA. This works out well for myself any my SO as it's close to work and the variety and amounts have suited us well. This CSA has very few new spots each year and those go by lottery. Funds go to support the farm's various programs. The box contents, as with all CSA's, depend on what's in season - greens predominate in the early part of the season, and squashes, root veg and beans in the latter. The quality has been excellent (especially the superb salad mix). We do supplement for things UBC doesn't grow or that aren't local (eg, citrus), or things we use a lot of (eg, tomatoes, eggplant). UBC also offers add-ons like eggs, and cut flowers. We had the egg add-on (bi-weekly due to limited supply)- wonderfully fresh free range eggs.
More info on the UBC farm CSA here: http://ubcfarm.ubc.ca/markets-and-eve...
One winter, we subscribed to Klipper's CSA (a weekly box was prepared for pickup each winter market date). Since it was winter, it consisted of keepers like squash, apples and onions (the first and last few boxes would have some greens included). Walnuts were provided on occasion, and also jars of jam and salsa. Klippers freezes tomatoes and cherries at the end of their season and these would typically be in the box too. The frozen tomatoes were great! Texture suffers to they're best suited for cooked use but the flavour was fantastic - so much better than canned. We ended up with a pileup of squash and apples that took a while to use. We didn't re-subscribe as the Saturday pickup wasn't convenient any more. Otherwise we were very happy with it.
More info on Klippers CSA here http://klippersorganics.com/csa.html
They offer a summer CSA as well with pickup available at various markets.
I bake much of my own bread and for the past 3 years have participated in the Urban Grains CSA. This provides me with 20Kg of locally grown whole grain flour (both hard flour for bread, and soft for other baking is grown. Rye and triticale were available in the first 2 years but last year's poor growing season didn't yield these). The quality of the flour has been good but each crop has had varying gluten levels. I adapt my bread recipe according to the flour once I've figured out its characterists (adding vital wheat gluten or mixing in some AP flour). The wheat is avail as flour or as berries. I get though most of it over the winter and store most in the freezer. http://www.urbangrains.ca/
A pretty complete list of BC CSAs is available from Farm Folk City Folk (though I'm sure there are more around).
I really enjoy the relationship we develop with the farm. I feel closer to the seasons with the box each week reflecting the growing conditions. The relationship has the subscriber sharing the risk with the farm - you pay up front and receive what that growing season will provide. Last year's cool summer meant greens, greens, and more greens for many boxes.
With a CSA program, you need to be able to work with what comes. I find it fun and enjoy the variety and challenge it brings each week. We ate out less, with the box contents to use up each week and had a healthier diet as a result. YMMV.
re: kinnickinnik
Very cool post kinnickinnik -Thanks for sharing!
We are a household of 2. In 2011, we subscribed to the CSA box program of Good Roots Farm. The farm is in Aldergrove, but one of the farmers lives in east Vancouver. The share was $300 for 12 weeks ($25 per week, paid in advance). We split our share with one other couple. Most of the time, our portion was very generous. We eat out at least 2 meals a week, together, and my partner eats lunch out every day. I found that we had a lot of excess produce.
Something I thought a lot of fun about subscribing to a produce box program is the whole Iron Chef sort of adventure. Each week there was perishable product which required us to "do something". Sometimes I made preserves, other weeks we just ate a home more.
I would subscribe again, if I could find someone to split the share with. I just don't cook enough at home to have a full share.

Ring Them Bells Lyrics - Alice In Chains
Review The Song (1)
Ring them bells, ye heathen
From the city that dreams,
Ring them bells from the sanctuaries
Cross the valleys and streams,
For they're deep and they're wide
And the world's on its side
And time is running backwards
And so is the bride.
Ring them bells, ring them bells!
Ring them bells, ring them bells!
Ring them bells St. Peter
Where the four winds blow,
You gotta ring them bells with an iron hand
So the people will know
That the rush hour is now
On the wheel and the plow
And the sun is going down
Upon the sacred cow.
Ring them bells, ring them bells!
Ring them bells, ring them bells!
Ring them bells Sweet Martha,
For the poor man's son,
You gotta ring them bells so the world will know
That God is one.
For the shepherd is asleep
Where the willows weep
And the mountains are filled
With little lost sheep.
Ring them bells for the blind and the deaf,
Ring them bells for all of us who are left,
Ring them bells for the chosen few
Who will judge the many when the game is through.
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,
For the child that cries
When innocence dies.
Ring them bells St. Catherine
From the top of the room,
Now ring them bells from the fortress
For the lilies in bloom.
For the lines, they are all long
And the fighting is strong
And they're breaking down the distance
Between right and wrong.
Ring them bells, ring them bells!
Ring them bells, ring them bells!

Department, building named for instrumental figure
The Tunica County Vocational-Technical Center has a new name to underline its continued role in the education of local students.
On October 27, the center was dedicated to its first director and will now be known as the David Williams Jr. Career & Technical Center.
The facility was built on the Rosa Fort campus and opened in 1988, with Williams at the helm. He designed the blueprint for the center's construction and hired the first staff members, a group that came to be known as the "Dream Team."
Sheriff seeks info on theft
Tunica County Sheriff K.C. Hamp is asking the community to help provide answers in the disappearance of several large pieces of county property.
Roots give Bailey tools for success
Growing up in Tunica and living and making a career in North Mississippi has given author Bill Bailey "great material to work with," Bailey told the crowd at the Tunica Literacy Council's annual meeting last Tuesday.
Citing the influence of Tunica County High School teachers Thurman Clark and Agnes Coulter, Bailey quoted Alfred Lord Tennyson to explain how he draws from his own experiences to craft characters and story lines.
"'I am a part of all that I have met,'" Bailey recited. "That was one of Mrs. Coulter's favorites."

DEFINITION of 'Terotechnology'
A word derived from the Greek root word "tero" or "I care", that is now used with the term "technology" to refer to the study of the costs associated with an asset throughout its life cycle - from acquisition to disposal. The goals of this approach are to reduce the different costs incurred at the various stages of the asset's life and to develop methods that will help extend the asset's life span.
Terotechnology uses tools such as net present value, internal rate of return and discounted cash flow in an attempt to minimize the costs associated with the asset in the future. These costs can include engineering, maintenance, wages payable to operate the equipment, operating costs and even disposal costs.
Also known as "life-cycle costing".
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Terotechnology'
For example, let's say an oil company is attempting to map out the costs of an offshore oil platform. They would use terotechnology to map out the exact costs associated with assembly, transportation, maintenance and dismantling of the platform, and finally a calculation of salvage value.
This study is not an exact science: there are many different variables that need to be estimated and approximated. However, a company that does not use this kind of study may be worse off than one that approaches an asset's life cycle in a more ad hoc manner.

Sarah Palin on State of the Union Address: WTF!by Free Britney at . Comments
Sarah Palin has a way with words. Or in this case, questionable acronyms.
In a play on President Obama's State of the Union address and its "win the future" theme, Palin used the text-friendly phrase "WTF" several times in an interview.
Somehow we doubt she meant "WTF" to mean "win the future" here ...
Another Palin quote on Fox News: "His theme in the State of the Union was the "WTF," you know, "Winning the Future." I thought, "OK, that acronym, spot on."
"There were a lot of WTF moments throughout that speech."
A few thoughts before we turn it over to your comments:
- Who is Palin's publicist?! Much like the blood libel remark, this was a prepared line. Basically harmless? Sure. But why go there?! She loves to stir the pot, but doesn't she want to appear dignified and avoid backlash? Once?
- Will this hurt, or enhance Tracy Morgan's opinion of her?
Hold Palin's head up to your ear and you can hear the ocean.
This woman is like a terrier - she is always at your feet and never lets go. The US is in for a bumpy ride if she ever reaches the presidential seat as she can't even keep her family in order (and speaks utter rubbish). I wish she would just go away. She's a complete irritant.
From the very 1st moment Sarah Palin opened her mouth, I have never been so embarassed to be a woman! She doesn't know what the hell is going on in the world, and somehow manged to become the governer of Alaska? She has spurned hate in the United States, and she should be ashamed of the recent shootings. She supplied locations, and pin pointed people she wanted to "eliminate". Then goes on TV and acts innocent and righteous. Ms. Palin I can see Alaska from my house, and you are making it look stupid. Close that rather large trap of a mouth you have unless you have something constructive to say!!!!
WTF, if y'all can't see the humor of this one, you've probably lost the capacity pf reasonable for a long time already.
This is funny shit! WTF! hahahahahaha! The Messiah is rockin! WTF! Join in the fun ya hate monkeys!
Sarah Palin, please Stop Talking From Urass! Just STFU and quit with the moronic jokes!
Dear Sarah, I am really sorry that you have a shit head and a womanizer for a husband. I hope you are able to gain the courage to leave his sorry ass. You still have a future but not if you keep him in your household.
Dear Todd, You are a womanizer and abuser. You had weeks to prepare and work your charm and have your wife go out and defend you. For shame Todd I am an uncontrollable element in your life and you are not getting rid of me. You have taken away my life, my future, and reputation and dignity. Fuck you Todd. The storm is coming.
Wasilla's Mental Health Institution called and they do Not want Sarah back. Things are more calm and sane since she escaped from that facility. Sarah Palin does not hold any political office, is not running for any political office. Plan and simply she is an irritant, a know it all-don't know nothing about anything woman who has escaped from the confines of her small town and constantly unleashes her short fuse ignorance for all to hear.If this woman had a brain she would be dangerous. Todd Palin says nothing, but I can easily believe that he jump up in the air and sing and dance every time she leave the house. It can't be that easy for him to face his friends and family being married to that airhead bubble brain named Sarah Palin.

Farm Bill Agreement Reached, Awaits House Vote
Yesterday, the long-anticipated farm bill showed signs of life as House and Senate conferees reached a bipartisan agreement to move the bill forward. In fact, the House may have a vote on the farm bill by the end of Wednesday. After clearing the House, the bill will move to the Senate.
The bill addresses Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever's top grassland and wildlife priorities including the following:
- Conservation compliance connected to crop insurance.
- A regional "Sodsaver" to protect our country's last remaining native prairies. States included are South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Montana, and Nebraska. We are pleased to have these important tools to protect America's last remaining virgin prairies available in these critical pheasant states right away.
- Reauthorization of the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP). While the total authorization of acres will gradually decrease to 24 million acres by FY18, we do have some new tools included to help us target the most environmentally sensitive acres that will best produce water, soil and wildlife benefits. In fact, one particular change to CRP will allow us to enroll up to 2 million grassland acres with no cropping history that have never been eligible for CRP enrollment historically.
- $40 million in funding for voluntary public hunting access programs (VPA-HIP).
- A new Agricultural Conservation Easement Program including provisions targeting wetlands and grasslands.
It's been an arduous two year road to get us to this point. I won't pretend this Farm Bill is going to be perfect by anyone's standards; however, it does address our core conservation concerns. The danger in not passing a farm bill at this point would be catastrophic for wildlife and water quality as all our favorite conservation programs, like CRP, would be shut down for the foreseeable future. Given the current state of habitat loss, our nation's wildlife cannot withstand additional time without access to conservation programs.

Best 8" chef knife for foodie brother as gift?
- pinkbabymouse Nov 16, 2008 05:37 PM
I would love to get my bro a kick ass basic 8" chef knife as a gift; I know knives are highly personal but any recommendations? Thanks in advance
I think most people would prefer an 8 inch for everyday use. There are obviously exceptions. Then it's a matter of style. A lot of people like Henckels and Wusthof for German knives, but I think the f. dick premier is quite nice and well balanced and maintains an edge better than the other two. I'd also check out the Messermeister elite series. If he prefers a little lighter style, check out the Shun 8 inch, it's more expensive, but also very nice. There are a lot of good Japanese chef's knives, including MAC, I think it's called mighty mac, and tojiro. On the forged side, for less money in general, Forschner makes a very good and highly regarded chef's knife. You can even compromise with a 9 inch if you think 8 might be to small.
amazon has pretty good prices, though you can get some good bargains on ebay if you know exactly what you're looking for.
re: chuckl
Tojiro still makes some of the best bang for the buck Japnese knives. I have a 240mm gyuto that I just love and for around $50 (currently at $66.50) was a real deal. Watch for holiday sales at Korin and Japanesechefsknife.com. JCK doesn't carry Tojiro any more but they have Fujiwara that is a good bargin knife.
re: scubadoo97
Yeah, I'd totally agree with this. I've done a lot of research, and Tojiro are by far the best quality blades for that, and even double and triple the price. I'd say 8" as well, but as you've pointed out, knives are highly personal. Most people even suggest not buying a knife for yourself without holding it in your hand first.
Last thing: A knife as a gift is considered unlucky! Get around this by insisting he pays you one cent for the knife ^__^
re: Soop
A 240mm/9.4" Japanese knife is not that much longer than an 8" European chef's knife and without the heavy bolster a pinch grip will make the knife not seem so long. Professional chefs usually prefer a longer blade like a 270mm or 300mm. The Tojiro unlike the Fufiwara has a rockwell hardness level of 60 +/- 1 so it's a little bit harder steel. The Tojiro has been criticized for poor fit and finish but the more recent knives are much better. The only downside is the handle is a little boxy but I've had no problem with that but it can be rounded out with a little sandpaper if one found it an issue.
re: scubadoo97
Yes, ^ all this is true. I like the handles on the senkou range a lot more, but the price goes up quite a lot. Also, the DP and the DP pro have exactly the same blades but different handles.
re: pinkbabymouse
Haha, don't know :D
re: chuckl
thank you so much! I'm so glad I did this post, you guys really know your stuff
re: chuckl
Does anyone have experience with the CIA chef's knife? I have an 8-inch, and I like a lot of things about it, though I do have a problem with it. It's a forged knife with a bolster that doesn't go to the bottom of the blade and thus doesn't interfere with using a pinch grip or sharpening. It also has a very comfortable handle. But the blade curves all the way to the handle end, and because of that, I find myself not cutting all the way through small items when I chop them quickly.
A chefs knives is a very personal tool and you might want to take him shopping instead of buying him a knife that he might not like. A 8" blade is a good length, unless he is tall or prefers to disassemble produce with Excalibur.
Id suggest that you get a Fdr. Dick forged blade , and a medium cut steel to put under the tree, and make sure to keep the sales receipt and verify that you can return it.
re: qwerty78
I like the Wustof Ikon. The handles are MUCH more comfortable (to me) then the classic style wusthof.
Are you sure he wants an 8" knife? I know a lot of other people here are recommending going with the 8" but I'm a woman of avg. size and my 10" forschner is by far my favorite knife. I have a couple of 8" knives I use and like as well, but I always seem to find myself going back to that 10" knife. (I will admit that when the knife arrived, I was a little freaked out by how big it looked and thought I had made a mistake ordering it. But I got used to it in about 5 minutes flat and now of ocurse it's no big deal. But it is funny to see the look on some people's faces when they see me whip that baby out for the first time if they aren't in my kitchen regularly.)
re: flourgirl
it's a good question, and I think there are some people out there, women included, who prefer the longer blade, but keep in mind, a 10 inch forged forschner is not nearly as unwieldy as a 10 inch f. dick forged. As the poster implies, though, and as you know, knives can be a personal choice.
re: chuckl
You're right - the forschner is a relatively light knife, which is probably why it works so well for me. And I don't find the 10" length unwieldy at all. I was finding myself getting frustrated with the limited reach of an 8" knife. I really love my Forschner. And the price was right too! :)
re: flourgirl
I have an 8" and 10" and I use my 8" more. The ten is great for chopping huge batches of kale or hard squash or chopping a big ole mess of something. But day or day I do use my 8" more.
re: flourgirl
I share the affection you have for forschner, I have a 10 also and it's a joy to use. It keeps an edge as well as any knife i have, and it works pretty well as a slicer too
re: chuckl
i received a 7" kyocera ceramic knife last year as a gift,and its still blowing my mind,just as sharp as the day i got it.its not an everyday kinda knife,well actually it is,just really fragile,looks cool too.
re: im hungry
i'm curious how your kyocera is cutting after using it for a while. I know that you can't sharpen it or hone it conventionally and have to send it to the company for sharpening.
re: chuckl
I hear diamond stones like DMT can be used to home sharpen.
re: scubadoo97
the info that came with the kyocera says it well wear after a few years,theres an address to send it .it costs ten dollars to have it done,send them a check and the knife ,they send it back like new i guess.ive been using the knife for almost a year and its still just as sharp as the first day i got it.im not gonna mess with the blade,ill let them deal with it,so far im not even worried about it anyways.another great thing about the thing is it weights like maybe a quarter of what my wusthuf or even the global veggy,im sold on it!!!!!
re: im hungry
Yeah, definitely don't try to sharpen it yourself.
I';ve heard some guy sent his Shun knives back to them for sharpening, and they replaced 3-4 of his knives for brand new just for cosmetic purposes! That's some customer care O_o
You have a lot of info on brands and types of blades - all of which is very informational in helping with decision making. But, I'm on the same page as others who say "a knife is a personal tool that needs to fit the hand that will be using it".
Even after making a decision on the brand itself, the fit of the handle itself is very important as to what the balance will be during use. The same mfg may even make differently shaped handles (I know Henckels does).
I would suggest that you identify a couple of knives that are within your budget and then, as part of the gift, take your brother on a knife shopping exposition.
re: CocoaNut
^ Definitely, although I would say both are important. I knowingly chose an inferior knife based on it's shape and handle. But I wouldn't have put an awful knife in the running no matter how good it looked.
re: CocoaNut
I agree, too. A knife is too personal. I have tried many a "good knife" but found the handle shape, the balance or something else was wanting. Case in point....I try to buy American made when ever possible. In general LamsonSharp knives, made in USA, rate fairly well. When I finally found a store that carried them I found the handle too uncomfortable. I went with the Wusthof Grand Prix line instead and have been happy with it.
I would hate to have someone spend $50 or more on a good knife that I hated. When I asked Santa for a knife, I specified make and model. (And Santa came thru.) I echo the "take him shopping" advice.
Did you know that there is a superstition about giving knives to loved ones? I once gave my husband a knife he wanted for Christmas, and he immediately got up, got a few coins and gave them to me. Apparently, a knife can "cut" the relationship, but if you give the person money, you're buying the knife from them.
re: roxlet
o yeah,i payed for the knife that was given me.and it wasnt cheap either,or easy,but well worth it!!!!!and watch out for that black cat,the crack in the sidewalk too.please.....
re: roxlet
That is why the recipient is expected to "pay" the giver by giving them some pocket change when the gift is received.
Just another old superstition...
re: roxlet
I didn't do that when my DW have me either knife and our relationship is just fine, thank you.
I agree with others - take him shopping or at least looking online and let him see what he likes. It may lead to other, matching knives and then he should really be in love with the whole set. For me, I love Global - his mileage may vary.

TORRANCE, Calif. (AP) -- Toyota is recalling 119,000 Avalon sedans from the 2003 and 2004 model years because their air bags could deploy inadvertently.
The company says circuits within the air bag control module can be damaged if they're exposed to interference from other electrical components in the car.
The defect can also cause the seat belt pretensioners to tighten without warning.
Toyota says it knows of one minor injury related to the defect, but no accidents.
The company is notifying owners of the recall. Dealers will add an electrical noise filter to the air bag control module for free.

We all know that according to folklore and grandparents, in the days of old when there was only one TV per street, people would huddle round their neighbour's screen to watch important things like Coronations, Christmas speeches and – of course, Royal Weddings. And this April 29th, to capitalize on that sense of nostalgia for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, there are a variety of places opening their doors so that we can watch the royal wedding communal-style. Just like in them-days!
The Everyman cinemas at Belsize Park and Winchester are screening the wedding from 11 am, with tickets available for free (FREE!) to the first people who turn up. Aces. The Gate Picturehouse cinema, Notting Hill, is also offering a free screening, with their broadcast beginning at 10 am and being followed, geniusly, by a showing The King's Speech at 3.45 pm.
For a more reeeeegal setting, Osborne House on the Isle of Wight (the one where Queen Victoria lived with Billy Connelly) is showing the wedding on their lawn, with a selection of 'celebratory refreshments' - picnic boxes and champagne – and a buttonhole available to purchase. Fancy.
London Mayor, Boris Johanson, has also announced that Hyde Park and Trafalgar Square will be screening the wedding from 7 am (shudder) on giant screens. Grazia Daily suspects that the Trafalgar Square venue could well be a nightmarish crush of tourists, so our suggestion would be to head to the leafy surroundings of Hyde Park. Avec, of course, a bottle of something suitably celebratory. >hic<
But where will you be watching the Royal wedding? We like to know these things!

Mulligans Golf and Games entices golfers to grab their clubs and pole-vault into the universe of gentlemanly sportsmanship across two nine-hole golf courses. Golfers can steadily slice their way through The Meadow's nine par-3 holes, or line up their swings to conquer on The Ridge's tricky combination of par-3, par-4, and par-5 holes. Both courses present unique challenges for players of all skill levels, tucking water hazards into verdant greens and commissioning tennis players to play defense. Those who prefer putters can traverse the bubbling lagoons of two immaculately landscaped mini golf courses.
Mulligan Golf and Games' driving range, open day and night, unfurls 33 covered hitting areas so golfers can practice their strokes and acquire the accuracy to peg their neighbors' rooftop satellite dishes. During golf lessons, Jeff Wathen and other PGA golf professionals analyze swings and approaches using years of experience as well as the latest in video and computer teaching aids. Baseball and softball players can also club white orbs into the sky from eight slow- and fast-pitch batting cages.
Entering one of The Framing Establishment's locations is like walking into an art gallery. Large traditional landscapes and contemporary abstracts hang on the walls, and shadow boxes housing portraits and collectibles line the shelves. Amid this modern decor, professional framers scuttle about, sizing objects and answering customers' questions. They help their patrons pick out ready-made frames and art or consult with them to determine flattering custom mouldings and mats for their photos or most impressive parking tickets. They also help customers transform their TVs into works of art by providing frames and fabrics that complement home furnishings.
Even if you switch between running forwards and backwards, treadmill workouts can get monotonous. Luckily, that isn't the case with CrossFit West Jordan?s workouts, which, in keeping with the CrossFit tradition, change daily. During one session, someone might swing a sledgehammer through the air; during another, they might flip a tire end over end, then take a rewarding nap inside of it. The end goal remains the same, though?to build rippling muscle and amp up cardio strength.
The safety-certified coaches at Olympus Gymnastics have taught talented tumblers that have gone on to participate every year in the Junior National Olympics and Utah State Championships. Students ages 3 to 15 years can pick from a schedule of floor-tumbling classes, dropping into the facility once a week to increase their physical dexterity, hone their mental determination, and develop their vocabulary for pommel-horse whispering. Coaches teach tots the basics during classes, and leaping adolescents limber up their bodies in tiered levels and earn their way toward airborne flight, vaulted exploration, and bar-gripping acrobatics. The experienced staff evoke a positive and encouraging atmosphere, in which every child receives individual attention, support, and an opportunity to take an honest bow that wasn't earned by being the first to throw pudding across the school cafeteria.
River Oaks Golf Course was carved from the pond-spotted wetlands that surround the Jordan River to form 18 holes of scenic golf. Golfers prime their swings at the course's 40-stall driving range to prepare for the round, which begins with three consecutive holes featuring prominent water hazards that still hold a grudge against the sun for ending their glacial childhood. Snow-capped mountains peek above tree lines, enhancing the landscape as golfers play the course. Those in need of an equipment upgrade can browse a vast selection of new clubs, clothes, and accessories at the pro shop, where large observation windows let guests soak in views of the course, stare into the glassy waters of the river, or keep tabs on factions of rebellious golf carts.
Jason Haslam hasn't kept his passion for fly fishing to himself. Instead, the veteran fly fisher founded Fly Drifters of Utah as a way to share his passion with others. Throughout each season, he and his guides lead fly fishing trips to nearby streams and rivers. On the trips, they teach participants the best techniques for catching brown trout, midges, and blue winged olives. They also hold classes that cover topics ranging from casting and knot tying to reading the water even when there isn't an open book on top of it.

The new Brous Blades Strife knives are just plain awesome, enough said. The lightweight, ultra tough carbon fiber scales which are 3D milled and attached to skeletonized titanium liners. The blade is every bit of 3.5″ with a great tanto shape, integrated flipper, finger choil, and thumb cut out. Includes a minute lanyard attachment point and a small deep carry pocket clip like the LionSteel SR-1, SR-2, and TM1 single-piece handle folders. They are great EDC/tactical blades, see the whole series at www.knifecenter.com.
Brous Blades Mini-Division Flipper Folder
The Mini Division Flipper is a scaled down version of the awesome, full-size Division folder. The brushed, satin finish D2 blade utilizes an integrated flipper for quick blade deployment on the ball bearing pivot system. The handle's slim profile allows for easy carry and the flipper doubles as a finger guard for safe cutting and stabbing. This is the knife you reach for when you need it, the quality of Brous Blades are on par with Microtech and LionSteel. See all details at www.knifecenter.com.
BMT Brous Multi-Tool
This multi-tool from Jason Brous packs a lot of great features into such a compact, good looking package. Useful tools such as key ring to attach, strap cutter, bottle opener, hex wrench (multiple sizes), flat head screwdriver and mini pry bar along with a thoughtful user design. Measuring 2.75″ overall, it is made from 1/8″ thick heat treated D2 steel so you know it's tough as nails. Check out the next evolution of the keychain multi-tool at www.knifecenter.com.
Brous Blades VR-71 Flippers
New Jason Brous Creations at the KnifeCenter
Jason Brous, the mastermind behind Brous Blades, is one of the great young craftsman on the rise in our industry. His first successful design, the Silent Soldier, was and still is among the most popular true neck knives we carry. Soon after the Silent Soldier came out, a fixed blade with three distinct bevels was created called the Triple Threat. Now, just over a year later, we are pleased to see coming through our doors a very well done folding version of that wicked knife. The 3-1/2″ blade is made from D2 tool steel and is a paired with a 4-1/2″ well textured and contoured G10 handle. Speed, ergonomics, lockup, fit and finish are right on par with knives of this price point.
The Coroner is the large fixed blade model we just received in and it really is an awe-inspiring piece of work. Brous has a strong background in CNC-machine work and that's readily apparent with this knife. The 6-1/4″ spear point blade is a whopping 1/4″ thick piece of D2 tool steel but is not sharpened on both sides. The chainsaw-like serrations on the blade spine are extremely well executed and designed to unleash devastating, non-lethal, impact strikes. The milled G10 handle is a little small for gloved hands but it locks the heavy knife in the hand extremely well. Besides the excellent milling work on the blade, the sheath is not far behind as the best part of this knife. The friction fit Kydex sheath is as slim and sleek as it is functional; one of the best executed Kydex sheaths I've ever seen. These are two great overbuilt knives that you can be sure not many other people will have, check them out at www.knifecenter.com.

Brous Blades Silent Soldier Neck Knives
The Silent Soldier wharncliffe neck knife is not a new one from Brous Blades but it has recently added some new brothers to it's family. The SS Version 2 is a blacked out drop point model and the newest one to hit our shelves just last week was the Tanto neck knife with a bead blasted finish. The Silent Soldiers are some truly overbuilt little fixed blades from an up-and-coming designer in the industry out of Solvang, California. Jason Brous and company make all these knives by hand in the Brous factory from solid D2 tool steel and each blade comes with a friction fit Kydex sheath. Check out these awesome little neck knives and many other cool knives to come from Brous Blades at www.knifecenter.com.

Babel: A Film by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu
New York:
First Edition. SIGNED on the title page by the film's director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga, and composer of the score, Gustavo Santaolalla (winner of the Academy Award for his score to "Brokeback Mountain"). Laid in is a full-color card advertising the event at which the book was signed.
"Babel" is the third (and apparently final) film by this team, ending a widely-praised trilogy that included "Amores Perros" (2000) and "21 Grams" (2003). A beautifully photographed production, presented in monograph style, with still shots from both the film and the sets. Divided into three sections, based on the locations where the film was made: Morocco, Mexico and Japan, and followed by a transcribed conversation between Rodrigo Garcia and Inarritu.
Fine and unread in a Fine dust jacket.

Top business stories of 2009

Visit the Photo Place
Date published: 1/2/2010
The year 2009 won't be
Though the economy of the country, state and Fredericksburg region showed signs of improvement toward the latter part of 2009, the recession continued to have its effects. That crimped the profits of the private sector and reduced the tax base of local, state and federal governments.
Below is a list of 10 of the most important business stories in 2009
The fallout from an overheated housing market continued in 2009, with median prices falling year-over-year in every month through November in the Fredericksburg area. Sales improved, driven by lower prices and an $8,000 federal tax credit for first-time buyers, but inventory supply continued to outpace demand and distressed sales accounted for about half the total volume. That led to sluggish demand for new homes, forcing area homebuilders to slash staffs to skeleton levels and putting some suppliers out of business.
New-car sales exploded in the Fredericksburg region this past summer in response to the federal government's Cash for Clunkers program, which allowed people to get up to $4,500 toward the price of a new vehicle if they traded in an older-model gas guzzler. That reversed months of year-over-year declines in auto sales and gave the local economy a short-term shot in the arm. One that didn't get to take advantage was Britt Chrysler Jeep, which was one of the dealerships that Chrysler Group LLC decided to close in its efforts to restructure.
A new trend of frugality crimped the sales of local retailers. Taxable sales declined 3.1 percent in the region in the first nine months of 2009 compared with the same period in 2008. Some retailers didn't make it, including several in Fredericksburg's Central Park, leading to rising vacancy rates and a handful of commercial foreclosures. The planned closing of Ukrop's in Spotsylvania County early next year may further increase the vacancy rate if a new tenant isn't found. The First Market Bank inside the local Ukrop's will close March 22. A bright spot was improved holiday sales, which retailers will hope carries over into 2010.

It's preview night at SDCC. None of us are there (though James is) so we get this instead. Yay?
Tag Archives: humor
Could Kevin Rubio's Tag and Bink return with Marvel? I'm all for it. If they want to revive the Tales anthology series – or at least the humor bits – I will forgive all. Best thing Dark Horse ever did with the license, IMO, and it never even got an omnibus. Shameful.
Conan O'Brian has some title suggestions for Episode VII. Oh, Conan. The expensive action figures never went away.
Classic video: Carrie Fisher roasts George Lucas
Universal treasure Carrie Fisher, from 2005's AFI Tribute to George Lucas.
Video: Attack of the Clones bloopers
Last night's offering from the official Star Wars Youtube channel. Also worth noting, while we're here: I've been doing movie theme days on our Tumblr this week as a way of clearing out the drafts folder (ANH, ESB and today is ROTJ; TPM starts tomorrow) and since I just added a ton of AOTC stuff to drafts, more than I can ever use in one day, thus maybe defeating the whole purpose of doing movie days in the first place…
(Also, question: Are enough of you not on Tumblr that you'd like to see updates on our themes over there? I have been keeping to it, but I haven't done anything bigger than a day or two on a single theme in a while so I wasn't sure if it was worth a post here.)
Roundup: Filoni talks Maul, Savage, Ahsoka and The Clone Wars S5
Cartoons. StarWars.com has continues their Dave Filoni interview. It focuses on The Clone Wars S5. (Part 1 dropped a few weeks ago.)
One year on. Here are a few more flashbacks to the big announcement last year: I spent that evening talking it over the buyout/Episode VII announcement with Tosche Station's Bryan and Nanci. (Please don't tell me if I said anything dumb.) And here's the special edition tweet roundup.
Retro. Alas, the lawyers caught up with the Star Wars blooper reel, but check out these two other great behind-the-scenes pics that (I suspect) originate from the enhanced Making of eBooks: A different angle on Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford during the medal ceremony and Mark Hamill gets meditative (or just bored) during the filming of Return of the Jedi.
Also on Tumblr. Artist Jeff Bennett improves the sentimental schlock of Thomas Kincade by adding Star Wars; The Stooge tackles the top ten soon-to-be-confirmed Star Wars rumors and a great pair of homemade Artoo and Threepio costumes.

These are shaving creams that are used mostly by men. When using this cream, you will first need to wash your hair well with some warm water and soap. This will help remove the dirt that may make your razor grind slowly if it gets into it. The water will also help in softening the hair and whiskers and this will help you shave without having to put too much pressure. The cream is then applied and this should be done before the hair gets dry.

[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
Wait why would it take 10 minutes to change a talents? It only cost one Dust of Disappearance to change one talent and it can be done anywhere just like glyphs work. The only reason to go to a trainer in mop is to change specialization. Which I don't see happening too often given that there is dual specialization.
Ideally this could take place while your setting up groups and sending out summons for the next boss but we all know it won't, there will always be that one guy (or those few guys in 25man) who have to change one more thing, 30 more seconds.
Basically its 1 more thing to slow down raids.

http://www.wow-mop.net/MoP_dev_QA2.htmgoals are: no mandatory talents, change talents as easily as glyphs (changing Dust of Disappearance to something like a "training manual" to work for both glyphs and talents)
Then beta footage came with talent overviews. The talents changes worked just like Glyphs. I get somewhat confused where the idea of having to go to the class trainer in MOP comes from based off this data.Q: Hey, you guys said that Talents would be as easy to change as Glyphs are, how do you plan to go about this?
A: The current idea is that Dust of Disappearance becomes a "Training Manual" or something and that the same consumable can be used to blank out a glyph or a talent. The cost of the consumable means that players can change when they think it's important but won't do it for trivial gains. Remember it only needs to compete against the inconvenience of visiting a class trainer.
While I do agree it can still cause some slow downs. This change will still be take less time than having to go back to trainer every raid boss like some players do now. This also lessen the desire for people to want to have a Tri specialization.
Any slow down from this system Will be a moot point at some point, because we all know someone is going to make a "Wardrobe" -esq addon for switching around talents.
Regarding your comment on Blizzards concentrarion that will bring world PVP back and the removal of the "Have Group Will Travel" will only screw over people trying to get a raid together. You said "Someone killed Bob, we have to go avenge Bob's Death!" I have had a solution for that for a long time. Blizzard should set a radius, of so many yards, that should be set up around a summoning stone, and the entrance, to make the area neutral to protect "Said Raid" from forming. I Play on a PVP server and I think the same should be done for quest givers. Unlike some, I like to read the quests I receive. I would like for Blizzard to implement a "safegaurd" in place that if you are reading the quest, you should not be able to be attacked. Once you click accept, you are fair game. I DO NOT like to be killed while reading a quest. Hope this sounds like as good of an idea that I think it is.

Requirements engineering (RE) is concerned with the identification of the goals to be achieved by the envisioned system, the operationalization of such goals into services and constraints, and the assignment of responsibilities for the resulting requirements to agents such as humans, devices, and software. The processes involved in RE include domain analysis, elicitation, specification, assessment, negotiation, documentation, and evolution. Getting highquality requirements is difficult and critical. Recent surveys have confirmed the growing recognition of RE as an area of utmost importance in software engineering research and practice. The paper presents a brief history of the main concepts and techniques developed to date to support the RE task, with a special focus on modeling as a common denominator to all RE processes. The initial description of a complex safetycritical system is used to illustrate a number of current research trends in RE-specific areas such as go...
