So You Want One of The Highest Quality Coffee Makers On The Market?
Posted on Feb 9 2013 at 12:09:27 PM in Food & Drink
Looking back, if you wanted a terrific coffee maker, you had to drive somewhere and had to choose what ever you could find. Today, as you well know, the internet makes available to almost everyone so many choices it can get maddening. The cumulative shopping experiences now consist of not only online stores, but also the very many offline stores that have websites. There are tens of millions of offline stores that are not even on the web, yet - that is amazing! When you need to find a great coffee maker, there are so many; and then you have to figure out a way to make the right decision. Right? Ok, think about all the things that matter to you the most in a coffee maker, and then you can begin your fun search. So, today we're bringing you some discussion about popular coffee makers available online.
If you're partial, or have heard of, Bunn coffee makers, then there's the NHBX-B Contemporary 10-Cup Home Brewer that a lot of folks have discovered at Amazon. As you may know, Bunn is widely recognized as a leader in home coffee makers. The price for this particular make and model is less than a hundred dollars. However, we all realize that while someone may love coffee, that kind of price tag may be out of reach for a coffee brewer. If, however, you consider that a higher quality piece of machinery is made to last and provide a high quality experience, then the price seems fairly nominal and acceptable. Many people choose this coffee maker because it brews your coffee at a perfect temperature and then uses then will maintain the optimum temperature throughout your morning.
On the other end of the pricing range, there is the Black and Decker DCM2500B SmartBrew Coffeemaker, and that has a certain popularity with those who are not quite prepared to invest more in a home coffee brewer. This particular model is less than $40 which is an excellent point for consideration. Black and Decker has an impeccable reputation that has been enjoyed for very many years as a designer and manufacturer of high quality equipment. You'll find their name on jigsaws, portable drills, and even home coffee makers. Trust, reliable, durable, long-lasting - all of those things are applicable to the Black and Decker name.
The DCM2500B SmartBrew offers a wide range of coffee making automation and convenience factors that will satisfy any coffee drinker.
Then there is the slightly more upscale coffee brewer, the Keurig B-40 B40 Elite Gourmet Single Cup Home Brewing System, and you'll find this one to be priced within many budgets. The single cup system retails for around $115.00. Naturally, the Keurig B40 is not for everyone, but there is no questioning the superior quality engineered into this brewing system. For those who are passionate coffee drinkers and prefer a single cup, only, they are quite happy with this particular system. You will use K-cups which are extremely convenient because all you do is insert to brew, and then take it out and drink. The K-cups are separate, but they are enjoyed and appreciated for being very reasonably priced.
There is very little, to no, mess with this system, and maintaining a clean and attractive appearance is very quick and easy. There are so many different coffee makers to choose from. And it can be a hassle trying to figure out which one is best in terms of quality and price, etc. We drink coffee, too, and that is part of the reason why we write about it. Yes, there are the standard offline stores where you can find these brands of coffee makers. However, if you're busy like most people, then you can surf over to Overstock.com or Amazon.com and find out more about them. Have you thought about looking for your favorite local retailers online? Try it.

This excerpt is from an article appearing in the Burlington Free Press
By their carcasses and tracks, we know that tens of thousands of creatures sneak across Vermont roads every year. What's so important about getting to the other side? Food, water, more genetically varied mating opportunities.
Larger concerns loom ahead: Scientists predict that if New England's climate continues to warm, more and more species will need to mosey north, or into higher elevations.
They will almost certainly continue bumping into human obstacles, and with greater frequency.
What if they do?
Advocates in Vermont's Critical Paths project are looking for answers and are encouraging communities to identify, improve and protect wildlife corridors. It's a survival strategy that links to a region-wide effort to restore "permeability" to a landscape that stretches from the western Adirondacks to Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula, at the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.

Hello and welcome to the Australian Bureau of Statistics guide to 'ABS Resources for Teachers'. The following tutorials aim to help teachers find ABS data and introduce them to a range of relevant products, available free from the ABS website. As you may already know, all data on the ABS website is available free of charge and the amount of free ABS data is constantly increasing. The following tutorial topics will cover a selected range of ABS data often sought by teachers and students.
QuickStats is designed to provide users with a summary of key Census statistics for a specific area and basic comparisons to Australian data. Start at the ABS homepage, click on 'Census Data' on the left hand navigation menu. Find 'QuickStats' in the body of the page and choose which year's Census data you want displayed. You can search for a location by using any of the above tabs. Select a location from a series of lists or choose a location from a map. In this example we will type in 'Fairfield'. Click on the 'Search' button and a list of all the places that include 'Fairfield' have come up. Click on the scroll bar and drag down to view all locations for your search.
If you're having trouble choosing a location, click on the Information icon above your location search results list. This page contains descriptions of all the geographies available, to help you make your selection. Select your area of interest from the list. We will select 'Fairfield Local Government Area'. Once a selection has been made, a map appears to check it is the wanted area. If you are happy with the selection, click on the 'View QuickStats' button. You will see the major characteristics, such as population and country of birth, are displayed for your chosen area. For each characteristic, comparisons are also made to Australia as whole. A descriptive commentary on the characteristics is available at the bottom of each data table. Note the Information Icons against the Census Topics. Clicking on the icon will take you to further information about a particular Census variable.
QuickStats data are available for geography areas as large as Australia as well as local government areas, state suburbs and postal areas. Please note QuickStats only shows selected Census topics and the top 5 results for that topic. If you're after more detailed data, you may prefer to use Census Tables instead. QuickStats is a great resource when students are studying their local community. Why not ask students to make a fact sheet or profile of their chosen area, using a QuickStats report.
Year Book Australia is the principal reference work produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. The Yearbook series provides a detailed statistical overview of economic and social conditions in Australia.

Tracking the Jake Delhomme Tour
Published: March 11th, 2010 | Tags: 2010 Free Agency, Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Jake Delhomme, New Orleans Saints, Rick Smith
Jake Delhomme's offseason free-agency tour continues. For the time being, it appears to be a two-city jaunt, with more dates to be added.
Delhomme met with the Browns on Thursday and has a two-day visit with the Saints scheduled for Friday and Saturday, according to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. Delhomme also is expected to draw interest from the Broncos, according to The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot, although a visit has yet to be scheduled.
One place that Delhomme will not visit is Green Bay. His agent, Rick Smith, has denied reports that a meeting with the Packers was expected.
Buffalo, anyone?

It looks like the common lengths are 7.5", 9", and 12" when are these lengths preferred for you experienced anglers? I know a lot of experienced fly fisherman will tie their own leaders and not buy the tapered ones but until I learn a lot more I figured the tapered route was much better for starters. If you could share with me a little knowledge on what lengths you prefer and in what situations, that would help me out immensely!
Note: I didn't read every response to your question, so there is a good chance someone has already said this: KISS it (Keep It Simple, Stupid). This is a lesson that took me a little while to figure out when I was just starting out. Hopefully you can avoid my mistakes on this issue.
I take it from your post you are pretty new to FF in general. If that's the case, do yourself a favor. Do not overthink this aspect of flyfishing right now. Fly fishing is about 'tinkering,' and you will get there, but at the beginning you need to have a base line, somewhere to start. However, the basic rule I eventually learned was this: go as heavy and short as you can get away with, given the circumstances and of course the behavior of the fish.
If I were you, I'd start with a 7.5 ft. taper mono leader (assuming trout fishing here, either still/ or moving water, with a 8.5 ft. or a 9 ft. rod), and tie on about 2 ft. of mono tippet. Probably a good starting place would be a 3x leader and 4x tippet. Here's my reasoning: 3x leader is really easy to cast, and it's harder to tail loop, pile cast, etc. with a 3x leader. Also, the heavier leader will be less affected by wind. And finally, if you catch a decent fish and you aren't great at playing a fish on flyfishing gear yet, the heavier leader and tippet will help you land that chunk, instead of breaking him off and ruining your day.
This basic set up will be just fine about 80% of the time. You use longer/lighter leader/tippet combos to affect the presentation of your fly. In short, long, light leader/tippets drop the fly more softly. The downside: they are harder to cast for distance and accuracy, not to mention are less forgiving of casting mistakes. As you get better at casting you can go to 4x, then 5x, and so on.
Note: Of course, you'll get wind knots and have to cut the tippet off a few times a day at first. When you get down to about 6 ft. of leader, change it out for a new one.
BUT do NOT throw away the used one
. Save it in a plastic baggie or whatever, and in a cool dark place when you get home. These things will come in handy later.
Hope that helps.
"Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn." ~Chuck Clark

If you are looking for the best heroin addiction treatment center, you are already on the right path to success. Ibogaine, which is a herbal and natural plant is the best bet you have for fighting addiction permanently. The problems however is that there are many rehab facilities claiming to offer Ibogaine cure for heroin addiction. The Holistic Sanctuary is the only holistic treatment center that offers a comprehensive treatment module known as the Pouyan Method that incorporates herbal treatments including Ibogaine into a wider treatment program. This program is focused on healing from the inside out so that patients leaving the facility kick their addiction permanently.
The Holistic Sanctuary and Ibogaine Treatment
At The Holistic Sanctuary, we use resources provided by nature to not only help fight addiction, but also rebuild the brain. In short, we are able to reverse the damage caused to the brain by active drug use. This is more than what many other ibogaine treatment programs have to offer. We are not only concerned with getting you off drugs, but also prioritize on restoring your brain to normal function and capacity.
These natural plants are more effective than anything that can be prescribed in a traditional drug rehabilitation center. We do not rely on toxic medicines that have various side effects and can be potentially addictive. The whole philosophy of The Holistic Sanctuary is complete healing using only natural methods, the way nature intended.
Ibogaine is a powerful plant based medicine that helps to trigger rejuvenation and repair of the stem cell. Apart from ibogaine, we use other organic and natural remedies and therapies to accelerate the cell repair and replenish the vital nutrients that the body needs to work properly. Our Fresh Organic Meals 90% Raw Food Diet 100% Organic 100% Non GMO diet is also designed to help the body heal and repair naturally without the use of pharmaceuticals or other toxins.
We do not believe in group meetings. Everybody has a unique journey in their addiction and therefore needs to be treated as such. This is why we do not have any group meetings but rather arrange one-on-one therapy sessions with trained experts in the course of the treatment. We guarantee our patients complete and undivided attention to help them discover and successfully fight underlying issues that cause addiction, PTSD, depression and other issues.
Why Traditional Rehabs Don't Work
Traditional drug rehabilitation centers rely on toxic medications such as suboxone to treat addiction. This is ineffective because such drugs are highly addictive and patients experience debilitating withdrawal symptoms through out their treatments. When used with tranquilizers, these medications can even cause death.
The approach that many of these rehab centers take is to replace one addiction with another. They deem the new prescription drugs as safe, but the problem with addiction still remains, except this time the person is taking drugs deemed to be legal. In addition to this, some of the side effects of these prescribed medications include:
- Feeling lightheaded, dizzy or weak
- Difficult and even painful urination
- Lower back or side pain
- Fever or chills
- Vomiting
Traditional rehabilitation centers also do not focus on the underlying causes of addiction. You may think that you are paying the best heroin addiction treatment center cost but in reality you will simply be moving from one addiction to another. At our top rated ibogaine treatment center, we work to establish the underlying causes of the addiction in the first place to better understand what your emotional and spiritual needs are. This is the only way to forge a successful and drug-free path for the future.
We aim to provide a complete and total cleanse down to the cellular level to remove all toxic chemicals from the body. This then allows for the safe administration of ibogaine into the body. Ibogaine alone is not enough to cure addiction. When used in combination with natural cleansing, amino acid IV drips and therapy, the patient is more likely to experience a complete recovery. In addition to this, we teach empowering and holistic lifestyles to equip patients with all the right tools for a bright future free of addiction.
We Have Luxury Accommodations
Patients want to be cleansed and healed of their addictions in the most comfortable and safe environments possible. This is something that we understand and take to heart, which is why The Holistic Sanctuary is the only 5 Star Luxury Holistic Treatment Center. We have the right Luxury heroin addiction treatment center price for you in a number of packages to suit various budgets. You can be sure that you are getting your treatment from a world class facility to relive much of the stress and strain that comes with fighting addiction.
We work to rejuvenate, rebuild and reverse damage to tissue, immune systems and brain cells caused by long term drug use. Rather than medicate the symptoms, we take care of the person as a whole, catering for his mind, body and spirit. This is why we boast such a high success rate that traditional rehabilitation centers cannot even come close to achieving. The body cannot be separated from the mind, and we treat our patients with this irrefutable truth as the number one priority.
When seeking treatment for drug abuse, it is only natural that you want to find out Heroin addiction treatment center prices. This however should not be your main consideration when choosing a treatment facility. One of the worst things that can happen is to pay for a treatment and end up relapsing, which often happens especially with traditional drug treatment clinics and centers. This means money down the drain, and more money for future treatments which may be just as unsuccessful. This vicious cycle can quickly lead to bankruptcy and financial difficulties.
At The Holistic Sanctuary, we guarantee that you will get well. Our Heroin treatment center cost caters to everything from all organic meals to luxury accommodations and facilities. We are dedicated to providing our patients with complete healing from drug addiction in the best environment possible.

SSO for SSH and apache and/or tomcat
I'm looking for an SSO solution that would allow a user to login to a webpage/webapp and ssh. This might not be possible, but I thought I would throw it out there and get some ideas. It seems like most SSO systems use a browser cookie which would be problematic with ssh.
I don't know about Tomcat, but ssh and apache can both use ldap for authentication.
Typically ldap takes a bit more time to setup initially but once its running and you have your applications authenticating off of it you gain that time back in ease of maintenance.
Most services now can authenticate off of ldap directly or by and by off of pam/nss which can authenticate off of ldap.
Another advantage if you've got some in house programmers is that you can even modify most cms packages to authenticate off ldap relatively easily... and some cms/portals already have authentication through ldap built in.
You can integrate SSO with a lot of applications, but you'd need to write support into OpenSSH to do this. I highly doubt it's possible with the current code. As you said, SSO is generally implemented with cookies.
Here's an SSH howto http://www.linuxquestions.org/blog/s...ver-setup-919/

|Socialite - Oil on Canvas - 11 x 14
But I haven't been completely lazy, I have been painting a bit. And I'm happy to announce that my painting above came in third place in the Village Fine Arts Association's Poetry Art Night. The poem (written by me:) that accompanied the painting also won third place, so I am pleased and honored.
The show will be up at the Suzanne Haskew Arts Center (SHAC) for a month, then it will travel to the Milford Township Library for another month. The reception is this Saturday, March 11 at the SHAC starting at 6 pm. There will be food, drinks, art and poetry readings... always a fun night! (P.S. you will have to come to the SHAC to read the poem!)

"Oops" seems to be the operative IT word for the past week or so.
For example, according to the Christian Science Monitor, a ship in a restricted area off the port of Mombasa, Kenya, dropped its anchor last weekend severing the Indian Ocean East Africa Marine Systems (TEAMS) cable. The TEAMS cable provides Internet and phone service to the African countries of Kenya, Tanzania, Burundi, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Juba, the capital of South Sudan. As a result, Internet service will be significantly slowed for the next three weeks or so as the cable is repaired.
That assumes nothing else goes wrong. A related story in the Wall Street Journal says this is the 4th undersea cable that has been severed in the region since the 17th of February. It is reminiscent of the spate of problems with undersea cables being cut in 2008.
Then on Wednesday of this week, a technician accidentally cut a General Communications fiber optic cable in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, which disrupted telephone, cable and Internet service across wide portions of the state, the Alaska Dispatch reported. The cable was repaired later in the day.
Last night, Fox News reported that US Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) closed off access to the Internet as well as Blackberry service around 10:00 am EST yesterday to repair some an unspecified problem. At least 20,000 workers at the Pentagon and untold numbers working at other military/defense commands that rely on the Defense Information Systems Network (DISN) were said to be affected. Fox News was told that it wasn't a cyber attack, although as of this morning, DISA still has not explained what happened or when everything returned to normal.
Also yesterday, a story at the Arizona Republic reported that about 200,000 Cox Communications residential phone customers in Arizona, Southern California and the Las Vegas area finally got their voice-mail service back after being out for almost ten days. An unspecified hardware error apparently occurred at a vendor that Cox uses to provide its voice-mail service. The problem caused Cox to delete all customer-saved voice messages and greetings. During the outage, the Republic story says, "unanswered calls prompted either dead air, a busy signal or an 'experiencing technical difficulties' message from Cox." Cox did at least offer those affected a call-forwarding service for free.
Operations at the UK Post Office seem to now be fully restored as well. According to various news reports, the Post Office suffered its fourth major outage in the past nine months yesterday. From early yesterday morning until late afternoon, UK postal retail staff could not perform any transaction that required the use of a computer. However, the BBC reported that Post Office ATMs, Post & Go services and Paystation bill payment and e-top up transactions were unaffected by the glitch.
This week also saw leap-day related IT issues. A leap-day glitch brought down Microsoft's Azure cloud service affecting commercial and government organizations in the US and Europe. A leap-day glitch was blamed for EFTPOS (electronic funds transfer at point of sale) systems issues at Pak 'N' Save, New World and Four Square supermarket stores in New Zealand. The National Australia Bank-owned Health Industry Claims and Payments Service (HICAPS) also warned its 150,000 customers that a leap-day issue would likely prevent them from using their private health care cards for paying for their medical visits.
There was also an "transaction processing issue" on 29th of February at the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) that crashed the bank's ATMs and EFTPOS services for nine hours. CBA vehemently denied that the problem was related to a leap-day bug, instead blaming the issue on the bank's crappy 40-year old IT systems which it is in the process of replacing. CBA also told SkyNews that its customers could expect more such glitches until the replacement systems are fully operational at the end of the year.
The AP is reporting this morning that a computer glitch today at Brazil's largest airline, TAM S.A., is affecting check-in at 11 airports across the country. The problem is expected to be fixed by later today.
Finally, we'll see tomorrow whether any computer glitches will be affecting United Airlines, the world's largest airline, as it migrates to a new reservation system.

Getting physically fit isn't just a New Year's resolution for the young. Research indicates that regular exercise and physical fitness are key to reducing many serious health risks and enjoying a long and active life. And it's never too late to begin.
Even when you're old enough to collect social security, fitness should be part of your life, say local exercise trainers who regularly work with clients in their 60s, 70s and beyond. Although they emphasize their role in making sure exercise is appropriate and safe for older people, the enthusiasm and optimism that go with setting and achieving fitness goals never changes.
"Just like any individual starting a fitness routine, we ask older adults what types of health concerns they have, what ailments they need to work around, and what their goals are," says Dale Huff, co-owner of NutriFormance Fitness, Therapy and Performance. "We also ask when they last saw their primary-care physician and if they were given the green light to start exercising."
Jamie Rothermich, partner and president of Functional Elements Training + Nutrition Center, adds that it's a good idea to begin with a professional evaluation of strength, flexibility and 'antagonistic' muscle grouping. "Maybe there are some weaknesses in muscle groups that may cause more pressure in others and result in injuries to joints." Knowing which muscle groups are over-compensating for other weaker ones helps trainers tailor exercises that will help restore functional strength and balance to the entire musculoskeletal system.
In turn, this type of tailored conditioning program helps reduce the risk of falls due to poor balance and lack of flexibility. Huff recommends "body-weight calisthenic-style exercises working on range of motion. It would also be wise to work on balance two to three times per day. Finally, seniors' exercise should include flexibility work in a manner that is more functional versus static holds. The larger we can keep a client's functional sphere, the better they will perform at daily activities." In other words, a good exercise program should help support the type of movements needed to remain independent—reaching, stretching and performing modestly strenuous tasks.
While seniors, like younger people, should challenge themselves, it is important to be mindful of one's limits. "Exercise should lead to a more energetic day, not a day where you feel run down and need an afternoon nap," Huff says. "If you are too sore or overly fatigued, this is a sign that maybe you're starting too aggressively. Some soreness should be expected as you are asking your muscles to do things they aren't accustomed to doing."
Nutrition also is an important aspect of overall wellness and should be combined with an appropriate exercise program. "Seniors have to be focused on some specific things," says Rothermich, who also is certified as a sports dietitian. "One is hydration status. With more activity, they'll need more water. Also, proper protein intake to facilitate muscle growth and repair. Just like anyone else, seniors need to focus on getting enough quality nutrients to help heal their systems." Rothermich is not referring to the type of protein-loading done by younger athletes, but notes that protein is important at any age for muscle maintenance.
With professional guidance and observation, any senior can become as fit as possible, making 2014 a healthy, active year.

If I was Iranian I'd happily pay to have some Saudi princeling assassinated (The entire 'royal' family occupies all positions of power in Saudi Arabia).
Saudi Arabia is an evil fundamentalist regime exporting terror worldwide. The vast majority of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi.

@DEADBEEF My view is that the Iranian agents acted among themselves, and did not have the blessing of the mullahs.
This happened the same time as fast and furious so of course Eric Holder and his criminal gang are going to ignore their own failures and focus on this.
There would be hell to pay if they succeeded and killed bystanders in D.C., so the fuckers should thank Allah for getting caught.

Stupid motherf*cker and his family have been living on the money they stole from the country for over 30 years and he has the indecency to say anything about Iran. His opinion isn't worth shit and he'd be the last to know a single god damn thing about "his" country after living in exile for all these years. The Iranian government sucks, but this worthless piece of sh*t has been juicing the current regime hoping the United States will put him back on the throne.

What if ...
What if the half-court desperation shot at the buzzer by Butler's Gordon Hayward had fallen? Would it have been considered the greatest ending in the history of sports? Yes, it's easy to get caught up in the moment and tend to think of things that just happened as being "the best'' or "the greatest'' or whatever. But think about it: A half-court shot at the buzzer for a heavy underdog to win college basketball's national championship over one of the most storied programs of all-time. What ending would have been more dramatic than that?
You have Bill Mazeroski's walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the Pirates a 10-9 victory over the Yankees in the 1960 World Series. But even if Maz hadn't belted his famous homer, the score was still tied and the Pirates might have won anyway. Joe Carter's walk-off homer to win the 1993 World Series for the Blue Jays over the Phillies came in Game 6, not Game 7. There's the Immaculate Reception during the 1972 playoffs, but that was a first-round playoff game and the Steelers lost the following week. The Twins won Game 7 of the 1991 World Series in the bottom of the 10th, but again, the winning hit came while the score was tied.
Patriots kicker Adam Vinatieri won a couple of Super Bowls in the final seconds, but both of his field goals came while the score was tied. A miss would've simply meant overtime. Scott Norwood missed a field goal on the last play during Super Bowl XXV. That was dramatic. So was the Rams stopping the Titans a yard short on the last play to win Super Bowl XXXIV.
But Hayward's shot was an all-or-nothing, win-or-lose heave. Maybe you can think of a better final play in sports, but I would suggest that if Hayward had drained the shot, it would've been the most dramatic ending in North American sports history. If you can think of a better one, let me know.

Dr. Tells Me Gentle Yag Doesn't Work on Gray Hair. True or False?
Doctor Answers 4
Is the Gentle Yag Laser effective for gray hair...
The Gentle Yag laser or any other laser does not work on gray hair because of the loss of pigmentation. The pigmentation is needed to concentrated the power of the laser to treat the hair follicle effectively. Typically patients wait 4 weeks in between each treatment. Everyone has their own rate of hair growth so it basically depends on the individual themselves. Usually you need 6 treatments in the beginning with a touch up treatment every 4-5 months after that.
Laser Hair Removal...
This is true, there is no laser , to my knowledge, that treats gray or blonde hair. I like to recommend my patients to come in every 4 to 6 weeks for treatments of Laser Hair Removal. I also tell my patients that it is not uncommon to have 4 to 8, sometimes even more, treatments for best results.
Good luck. Hope this helps.

Laser and Hair Color
It is true that the darker the hair, the more effective the laser treatment will be. Laser treatments work by delivering light energy through the hair to the hair follicle, where hair is produced. The darker the hair, i.e. the more melanin, the more energy. Therefore, white hair cannot be treated with laser hair removal. The same theory explains why blonde hair does not respond. Depending upon how gray the hair, there may be some improvement.

We were seated promptly near the sushi bar. Our server was nice and eager to please. Once informed about my sister in law's nut allergy, he was extra cautious and warned her about even non-nut items in the food, like olive oil, sesame seeds, and soybeans.
Tuna Hako
The special rolls of the evening were described, which were massive and very complicated. I stopped paying attention to the first one after I heard "spicy" since all spicy sauces include mayonnaise, which tops my icky foods list. The second sounded good at first: king crab, eel, tuna, avocado, then on top there was more crab, cream cheese, cream sauce (I think). Too much. I also don't think cream cheese belongs in sushi. Sorry if you do.
Sushi Combo
The ginger dressing on my green salad was creamy and tangy, and the portion was generous. The seaweed salad had just enough heat to provide a kick without being overpowering. The pan fried gyoza were tasty, although nothing spectacular. P and I shared sushi, which good. The fish was of excellent quality, the rolls well made. At some point, I feel the rolls were perhaps a little over the top, or just sounded better on paper then they actually tasted. Nothing was bad. But nothing blew me away either. Salmon and Avocado was the best roll of the night. Smooth, complementary textures, nice flavors. The Sweet Potato Tempura roll was inventive and tasty, although P found it a little greasy. The California King roll, which subbed king crab for traditional crab stick, was a bit flavorless and left me disappointed. I thought it would be better then a regular california roll. The Tuna Hako, which is pressed in a bamboo box, was disappointing. The center ingredients got lost, although the tuna on top was good. However at nearly $20 for 8 pieces, it definitely wasn't worth it.
Raw is a solid sushi restaurant. If they scaled back a bit and focused on amazing, simple food, I think they could be much better. They have a lot of things going for them, including a good design aesthetic, awareness of quality ingredients ( i.e. they use fresh-grated wasabi) and are not afraid to take culinary risks. They have an attentive staff and a beautiful restaurant. Their recently opened courtyard is charming (in a zen sort of way). Hit it for lunch while the weather is still nice and take advantage of the bargain.

brilliant :D
Im a big fan of songs with just an acoustic guitar and a guy singing. Happen to play a little guitar myself, but nowhere near as good as you :P maybe one day i will be.
Anyways, your voice if perfect to this, i actually like the raspyness to it, and you sound sad, which gives it more flavor. When i first herd it, the real version (cuz i herd it in "The Composer") i almost wanted to cry, its like your telling a sad story, and i could just place that song in my life or something.
I've read some other reviews and...man i wish you had the tabs for it :/ maybe you can have someone to transfer them for you or something...
thanks for making this song!
Keep up the great work, and looking forward to future songs from you!
thanks very much for the review, there's plenty more acoustic tracks on my account so check them out too:)

very kind, cheers man, thanks for the review, much appreciated.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I like this song a lot!
You're an awesome singer and guitar player. I can't stop listening to this. It's plain awesome man I think you could've done with a lot more singing though. Still good. WAY TO GO YOU BASTARD! haha
you're probably right, this is a demo after all, i hope one day i'll make this into a bigger and better trk, but atm, it's just not gonna happen, cheers for reviewing:)

I stopped by a gun dealer today and looked in the gun case and spot a new or like new Stainless Ruger Old Army looking back at me. $425.00 also in the same case a Cimeron Richards Mason conversion in 38 special (I think), looked new $375.00 if I remember correctly. I did not have much time as I was on my lunch break. and the shop was packed with customers. I am going to try and get back tomorrow. The fly in the ointment is the shop is in New Jersey where buying a handgun is a major pain in the ass.:mad:

|QUOTE (DestaliusDark @ Friday, Jun 28 2013, 12:10)
| Hey, i know this is a bit out of place and such.
But i was wondering about something, since my summer vacation started i entered a Comic/manga workshop for a few weeks.
Does someone have a story they would like to be, drawn out? I won't take any credit for it, there won't be happening anything with it, the pages will eventually end up in my room anyway.
It doesn't even have to be a long story, maybe a short 10 page one is ok.
I'm not sure if it's ok to ask this here tough. If not i'm sorry.
If anyone's interested message me.
What info would you need? I made a short story once about a group of school kids accidentally being cast to Hell by a lazy Shinigami (Death God) instead of his actual target, and they had to escape back to the world of the living, all the while demons and sh*t were tryin'a f*ck em up. I always imagined it in the form of manga/anime more.

So if you've ever felt the urge to try r/c cars, now's a good time—and the Summit a versatile introduction. (Or re-introduction...) There are still some elements of the hobby that may stymie you—charging the more powerful Li-Po batteries requires an electrical engineering degree to avoid burning your house down, it's still a PITA to take bodies off the cars and trucks via tiny, easily lost metal clips, and for some reason simply turning the cars on and off requires snaking your finger under the body to feel around for the cleverly hidden switches. Evidently, r/c car makers are hitting the big problems first and then working down to the details.
Still, these things are a trip—and thanks to the equally key innovation of RTR (ready-to-run) vehicles, all you need to do is open the box, install the battery, an you're off. No extras needed, not kits to build. ($319; traxxas.com)
For the kids, durability: Electrix Off-Road Stadium Truck
Another key problem with radio-controlled cars: you don't want to hand the remote to the kids. Not necessarily because you want to horde all the fun for yourself, but because you just know the kid's going to jam the throttle wide open and ram straight into a tree. They just will. It's in their primitive, undeveloped mental musculature. So no, you don't let them drive your expensive r/c car. But you can let them drive this, the 1:10 scale Electrix Off-Road Stadium Truck. It's the first radio-controlled off-roader that truly folds grown-up electronics and hardware into a car that can take a bruising from pint-size racers. Its full-independent suspension is simple and beefy. Its chassis is strong enough to protect all the hardware and during the worst assault. It has limitations, of course--the Electrix is neither the lightest car you can buy nor the fastest—but that, too, works to your advantage. The slower a car is, the easier it is for newbie drivers to control and keep out of trouble. You'll still have fun ripping around the dirt, and there's plenty of power for catching air off the jumps. You just won't win any drag races. And at $109 for a ready-to-run, fully-capable car, it's a terrific deal, too. ($109; electrixrc.com)

Yannis Pappas' THE HALF HOUR to Premiere 6/20 on Comedy Central
The world premiere of comedian Yannis Pappas' first half-hour stand-up special, The Half Hour is set for Friday night, June 20 at 12:30am on Comedy Central.
Pappas taped The Half Hour in Boston this spring, the result of a diverse comedy career that includes various creative avenues for the young comedian.
Born and raised in Brooklyn, Pappas is one of New York's favorite native sons. A multi-talented comedian, joke writer, and performer. He's the rare mix of dynamite stand-up comic who is just as talented performing sketch, or appearing in front of a camera. He's a national headliner loved by his peers, earning the praises from the likes of Bill Burr, Jim Gaffigan, and many others.
In October 2013, Pappas was called to Miami to co-host the new television show Fusion Live as part of the launch of the brand new ABC/Disney and Univision TV venture, Fusion. Fusion Live is an edgy, funny hour show, where Pappas and his co-hosts report compelling stories, host live musical performances, and interview influencers. It's the most popular show on the burgeoning network.
Four years ago, Pappas and a director Jesse Scaturro co-founded Ditch Films to supplement nights of stand-up through afternoons of freelance video work, it was here Pappas created his most memorable web characters. "Mr. Panos," a Greek restaurateur who has both a Nationalistic and gloriously narrow-minded view of the world; and "Maurica Rodriquez," a Lower East Side, Transgendered Latina who is looking for love, and a man to move her to Westchester.
Pappas's characters were an instant hit, generating millions of views online, sparking a cult-like fandom not only in New York, but also amongst Greek and Latin audiences on an international level. Papas was stopped in the streets by adoring fans, celebs like Jennifer Lopez, Nia Vardalos, Rosario Dawson, and Mark Anthony would relay back to him that they were fans and quote his material. Through sheer talent and word of mouth, Pappas sold out 20,000 tickets to various stand-up shows around NYC, Miami, Chicago, and LA over the course of a few years, selling out weekends at Carolines, Gotham, Levity Live, and other venues in the NY area multiple times.
Other TV credits for Pappas include Comedy Central, AXS TV, VH1's Best Week Ever, Good Morning America, and CBS. He was formerly the co-host of the hit MSG show, The Bracket that he hosted with Chris Distefano (Guy Code). Pappas has performed stand-up on TV in Canada on the Comedy Now network and in Denmark on Casper & Lars Presents. He was also the subject of the PBS Digital Studios web series, Modern Comedian where he discusses the time he was shot in a traumatic Botched armed robbery attempt.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- You may be seeing some new options for breakfast on your supermarket shelves.
General Mills (GIS) is out with more than 150 new products this summer both in the U.S. and around the world. The company says they're tapping into the trends consumers want, "focusing on protein-packed products, gluten-free offerings, bold flavors, and indulgence."
Some products are new to store shelves but others are variations of already familiar brands like Chex Gluten Free Oatmeal and new flavors of Yoplait yogurt. General Mills detailed this campaign Tuesday at its Investor Day held at the New York Stock Exchange.
Don Mulligan, the company's CFO, says General Mills is "focused on holding down prices for the consumer while delivering for its shareholder." Mulligan shares Walmart's (WMT) sentiment that the economic recovery is leaving many in America behind. "For the U.S. market, we very much echo the comments of Walmart: the consumer is still very cautious and we believe until we see disposable income levels increase at a more robust rate, that this will probably remain the case."
Despite the weak American consumer, General Mills is delivering for its shareholders. Mulligan says it's important to have "Earnings growth and returning strong cash flow to shareholders and we do both of those and we're able to pay a dividend of yield over 3%."
The CFO says his company, one of the world's largest branded packaged food producer is finding growth overseas in Brazil and China. General Mills is also looking to streamline operations in North American and hopes to cut $40 million in pre-tax costs during this fiscal year.

UC Davis School of Law hosted the 2013 Fenwick & West Lecture Series in Technology, Entrepreneurship, Science, and Law (TESLaw) Symposium, "On the Frontier of the Future: Innovation and the Evolution of Patentable Subject Matter" on September 27. Speakers included Chief Judge Randall Rader of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, David Kappos, former Director of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), Michelle Lee, Director of the Silicon Valley USPTO, and prominent figures from academia, industry, and legal practice.
The symposium was the final event in the five-year TESLaw series, which arose out a partnership between UC Davis School of Law and Fenwick & West. Previous symposia in this series focused on patent reform, clean technologies, personalized medicine, and social networking. This year's symposium on patentable subject matter was organized by Professors Mario Biagioli and Peter Lee as well as Fenwick & West partners David Bell '97, Bob Hulse '00, and Bob Sachs.
In his lunch hour keynote address, Chief Judge Rader provided an overview of recent decades of patent law cases. He included personal reflections from his time as a student at George Washington University Law School during the 1970s, as counsel to members and committees of Congress during the 1980s, and as a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit since 1990. He talked about how the patent system continues to evolve as science and technology present new patent eligibility questions and courts seek to provide clear guidelines for businesses.
"I don't think we've gotten it right yet," he said. "But at least we are fortunate to be in a system where we'll struggle with properly reflecting the science in our legal decisions, and we'll make commercial certitude a consideration in our legal determinations, which will also reflect the fairness and equity of our societal underpinnings. I don't think there is going to be a quick answer, but I am hopeful that maybe the best consequence of all this is that it is drawing more people into the discussion, and with more attention I think they'll come to realize that the patent system plays a great role in our economy and our future."
In his opening keynote, David Kappos, now a partner at Cravath, Swaine & Moore, talked about how the United States' strong patent system has played an integral role in fostering innovation throughout the nation's history. Likening the patent system to a "national investment system" in which consumers pay more for innovative products in the short run in order to receive the benefits of increased investment in innovation over the long term, he urged caution in addressing potential changes.
"As we consider more change, more tinkering, more risk with that system, we should be very careful about what we do, cherishing the amount of success we've had with the current system," said Kappos.
The symposium also included introductory remarks from Associate Dean Vikram Amar and Bob Hulse, as well as a morning panel discussion of "Patent Eligibility in the Life Sciences" moderated by Professor Peter Lee and an afternoon panel on "Patent Eligibility in Software and Business Methods" moderated by Bob Sachs.

I first met Matt Holland — or President Matthew S. Holland, as he's known in some circles — when he came to speak with the Deseret News editorial board as the newly appointed president of Utah Valley University.
He brought some family "slides" along with him that day, he said, to help us get to know him.
He flashed a photo on the screen of "young Matt" dressed like Roy Rogers to "showcase my Western roots," he said.
Then he showed another shot of himself as a boy, this time wearing a frightening combination of red, blue and white clothes.
"As you can see," he said, "even at a young age I was very patriotic."
Needless to say, we liked the man right away.
Of course, that same disarming, down-home style has been a Holland family trademark for many years.
And I came across it once again last night as I read through a little pamphlet Matt Holland published for Father's Day called "A Fork in the Road" — a warm and jaunty little tale about a father (Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve) teaching his son Matt a valuable lesson.
It's a brief but well-made story that shows a writerly knack for foreshadowing events and creating drama.
And like most worthy stories, it has something to teach us. The lesson is this: Sometimes God shows us a dead end so when we do find the right path, we'll get on with things and not waste time fretting about what might lie at the end of the "road not taken."
It's a simple thought, but one that crops up time and time again in life and Holy Writ.
Matt's point is God will sometimes lead us to a non-threatening dead end to teach us wisdom.
But I think, too, God allows us on our own to wander into dangerous dead ends when a harsher lesson is needed.
That's a story we also often hear.
It's the story of The Prodigal Son.
Once the boy was back home with his father, he didn't dream about what he might find if he left to test the world.
He already knew. He'd find a dead end.
The dead end that leads us to the right path is also the story of St. Francis of Assisi and Alma the Younger.
It's the story of poet Maya Angelou, baseball player Josh Hamilton and quarterback Michael Vick.
Unless you've seen the "dead end," your imagination can fill the "road not taken" with all kinds of thrills, chills and excitement.
But such things are an illusion.
All roads may indeed lead to Rome, but only one road leads to fulfillment — the narrow one, the one that never ends.
I know.
In his little four-page Father's Day tale, Matt Holland pretty much laid out the story of my life.

Mowbray plays down link to Verkhovtsov
Tony Mowbray has dampened down expectations that Belarus international Dimitry Verkhovtsov is set to join Celtic.
The 23-year-old central defender, who plays for Naftan Novopolotsk in his homeland, jetted into Scotland on Sunday for what were assumed to be signing talks.
However, ahead of the Premier League clash with Kilmarnock at Rugby Park, the Parkhead boss said: "He is not training, we have been testing him to see how fit he is and how strong he is.
"We are assessing him and the tests will last two days. But we are not going in to it thinking we are concluding anything or not concluding anything. He has played in some pretty high-profile World Cup qualifiers against some pretty decent teams, one of them being England.
"But he is not our player, he is at another club in Belarus. There is a lot of water to go under that bridge so I wouldn't be getting too excited about it.
"You (the media) do miss one or two who come in and train for a day or two then go away. That will continue and potentially there will be more coming in.''

Who's got the advantage?
I'm sitting here watching the Reds/Mets game on ESPN, and as usual the announcers are driving me crazy. The secret to the Reds' success this year? Why Dusty Baker, of course (that according to Joe Morgan). The Mets's success? Jerry Manuel has done a terrific job (Bobby Valentine, I think). The real key to the Mets' recent resurgence? David Wright has taken over leadership (Morgan). Really.
But even when these guys try to be analytical they get it wrong. For instance, they were talking about the hot air at Citi Field this evening–how the ball is carrying better than it usually does. I'll skip the part about settling concrete and just focus on which of these two teams has the advantage in the relatively rarefied air of the Citi.
Both Morgan and Valentine think the Reds have the advantage. Why? Because they've hit more home runs than the Mets; they're more of a power team.
But think about it for a second. If the Reds are hitting more home runs, maybe the Mets are just missing theirs. Maybe the Mets will get more from an atmospheric boost. In fact, the Mets are hitting fly balls more frequently than the Reds. According to Fangraphs, the Mets are the third-highest fly ball hitting team in the majors–41% of their batted balls have been flies. The Reds are eighth at 38%.
The problem, of course, is that only 7% of the Mets' fly balls have been homers; that figure is 12% for Cincinnati. Mets' fly balls have been wasted more often so far. So can't you make a case that they are more likely to benefit tonight than the Reds?
At this stage of the game, the Reds have hit two home runs to the Mets' one, so Joe and Bobby are going to feel they were right about this. Which is only more infuriating!
Sorry about that. Had to vent.

text: Tech faculty endorses revitalization plan By Mackenzie Mays October 5, 2012 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia University Institute of Technology faculty members are endorsing a plan to turn around the Montgomery campus in hopes that it could help dramatically increase enrollment.Full-time faculty members of the college met Thursday and voted to support a plan laid out by the WVU Tech Revitalization Committee that would renovate facilities and open more curricular options at the school, which has struggled in recent years."The Revitalization Committee has done a good job at prioritizing infrastructure needs at Tech in light of the reality of budget challenges facing the State of West Virginia," members of the WVU Tech Faculty Assembly said in a prepared statement. "As far as funding goes, we think any infusion of cash into WVU Tech at this point would best be put to use into our buildings, making this a more attractive campus for present and future students."Changes include major renovations to deteriorating campus infrastructure, an alternative teaching certification degree to help the state's shortage of teachers and the addition of a sports minor that would be a good fit, considering the college's proximity to the New River Gorge.The committee is asking for $7.8 million from the Legislature to help with the revitalization.The team was created to respond to legislation passed last year that recommended the school create a plan of action to overcome problems such as plummeting enrollment numbers and a $5-million-budget deficit. During the past five years, enrollment at Tech has decreased by 20 percent, according to the report."This is a sign that the faculty is pleased and happy with what we've done. We've worked really hard as a committee to try to come up with a plan from top to bottom and stabilize the campus, grow enrollment and make it a good education experience for current students and future students," said committee Chairman David Hendrickson.The faculty's endorsement comes as a reaffirmation of confidence in the plan, after one member of the revitalization committee voiced concerns about the process last month.Committee member Dorothy Phillips claimed that the plan was too focused on facilities and not enough on academics. She worried that WVU's influence had overshadowed the purpose of the bill."Academic excellence has always been our strength. As our student population grows in size, so will our ability to increase funds to further enhance our academic programs," WVU Tech's statement released Friday confirmed.A formal plan will be released in early December, according to the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission."We expect that through the support of the Revitalization Committee, the Higher Education Policy Commission, and West Virginia University, Tech will emerge stronger and more focused than the period of time leading up to Senate Bill 486, and continue to provide excellence in higher education for the state of West Virginia," the statement said.Reach Mackenzie Mays at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5100.

text: If you want to be able to pull a Prime in every pack read this. Packs with Prime cards are interesting. They are probably the first packs I've noticed that weigh noticably more than packs with a rare holo. So I've over the last year tried to think of a system that allows for a high chance of pulling a Prime without using a scale. And I think I've found it. 1. Go to a retailer who has individual packs that aren't from a box. Usually target or walmart. 2. Take 16 packs off but do not buy them. 3. Divide the stack in two and decide which set is heavier. 4. Have a friend or Parent do the same but make sure they don't know which you thought was heavier. 5. If they agree with what you thought. Take that stack and put the other back on the shelf. Then repeat 3-5 on this list until you have it down to one pack and buy that pack. 6. If at any time there is a disagreement shuffle the packs and weigh again. I have had success with this pulling a Mew Prime, Yanmega Prime and Celebi Prime in three triumphant packs. I wish you the best of luck at this method.

|An Alien will work best for the slot below the bolt, but also a yellow C3 does okay. The move up to where you can clip the bolt (painted) is definitely easier if you have a long reach. You do not want to blow this move without the cam or stick clip, nasty landing in my opinion.

Learning Letters for Kids
PANKRATZ.TK (Rene Pankratz)
- February 7, 2014
( 382)
This is a small app for easy learning of the letters. The app says which letter shall be pressed. If a wrong letter is pressed the app tells which letter was pressed. When the correct letter was pressed the app goes on with the next letter.
You can select which letters shall be used in this game.
This app requests no permissions that you will be warned about.

Best alphabet app!!!! My daughter loves this! I wish you would do the same thing with letter sounds. I enjoy being able to select which letters can be in the game as well as how many to make sure it is on her level. It is also super nice that both uppercase and lowercase letters are included.
Like how this app uses capital and lower case letters, gives you an option to use some or all of the letters, and like how when the wrong letter is corrected it informs the child of the wrong letter that was chosen first before they are given another chance. I also like the appraisal when the right letter is chosen. It would be nice if it would include the letter sounds.
Easy Simple app does what it says. Clearly states the letter. Child touches the match... bingo! Don't need anything more for simple letter identification practice
Simple & Great I love this app for its simplicity and my son is learning and finding it easy to identify the alphabets because of this app. ThankU.
Great FREE App!!! I love all the ways I can customize this for my kid. We have moved past this now and we still can't bring ourselves to delete it. Thanks for making a great free app!
My 4 year old likes it Really like that I can select which letters she can see, I add the letters to her choices as pre-k teaches them, works great
What's New
- Fixed small issues in options menu
- Optimized and shrinked app code

Citation: Nelson, R.L. 2004. Exchanging, preserving, characterizing, and utilizing soybean germplasm in the U.S.A. Proceedings of Soybean Research World Conference. p. 631-637. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Current soybean production in the U.S. was made possible by germplasm exchanges in the early part of the last century. The first soybean introductions in the U.S. were used as breeding populations from which to make selections. The concept of germplasm changed to include intentional preservation and then intentional collection. Germplasm evaluation has also evolved from the collection of minimal information for immediate use to the extensive accumulation of data that is critical for germplasm management. Germplasm utilization began with the creation of the initial genetic base from which the first commercial cultivars were derived. Incorporation of new sources of disease resistance has been a critical part of the expansion of the soybean production. In the future, fully integrating the diversity available in germplasm collections to address all aspects of cultivar improvement will be needed to address the needs of producers and consumers. The USDA has a policy of free exchange of germplasm. As ex situ collections become the only source of germplasm in future, exchange among collections will become more important. As technology allows a greater understanding and more utilization of germplasm, the challenges created by the enormous diversity available will make cooperation more critical.

Service sector activity slowed in December, according to the latest survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. Big ticket sales dropped this month, contributing to a fall in retail revenues. Inventories rose slightly. In addition, shopper traffic diminished and retailers indicated a more negative outlook for sales over the next six months. At non-retail services businesses, revenues flattened. In contrast to retail merchants, services providers remained optimistic about business prospects in the first half of the new year.
Labor indicators in the service sector weakened in December. The number of employees fell at both retail and non-retail establishments. While average wages grew on pace with a month earlier at services-providing firms, retail wages declined.
Price growth in the broad service sector hovered near November's moderate pace. However, survey respondents expected somewhat faster overall price growth during the next six months.
Service sector revenues declined in December, with the index slipping to −2 from November's reading of 7. Employment remained on a downward trajectory, with the index subtracting six points to settle at −12. Additionally, average wage growth waned, softening that index to 5 from last month's 9. Looking ahead six months, survey respondents expected no change in demand for goods and services; the index finished seven points below last month's reading at 0.
Retail sales dropped in December, dragging November's index down twenty-seven points to a reading of −13. The index for shopper traffic also dropped into negative territory, ending at −18, following November's 23. Furthermore, big-ticket sales withered, pulling that index down seventeen points to −31 this month. Retail inventories rose slightly, with the index at 6 following last month's reading of −1. Merchants expected a weak market in the first half of the new year. The index for expected product demand fell to −24 in December from −3.
Retail employment declined this month, with the index for the number of employees falling to −21 from the previous reading of −13. The index for average wages lost twelve points, settling at −4.
Revenues were nearly flat at non-retail services firms. The index finished at a reading of 1, compared to last month's 4. Services providers trimmed their payrolls; the index for the number of employees dropped two points to −8 in December. Average wage growth remained constant, however, keeping the index at 7 for a second month.
Looking ahead six months, non-retail firms continued to anticipate solid demand for their services. The expectations index shed just one point from last month's reading, ending the December survey period at a reading of 8.
Overall service sector prices grew nearly on pace with last month, rising at an annualized 1.13 percent rate. In November, prices advanced at a 1.16 percent rate. Separately, retail prices slowed somewhat to a 1.41 percent growth rate, compared to last month's 1.84 percent pace. Non-retail services prices grew at a 0.99 percent annualized rate, compared to 1.01 percent growth in November.
Expectations were for overall quicker price change during the next six months. Survey respondents looked for annualized price growth of 1.73 percent, whereas in November, they expected prices to rise at a 1.68 percent annualized pace.
Non-retail services providers anticipated a 1.67 percent rate of increase, compared to their November outlook for 1.53 percent price growth. In contrast, retailers expected future prices to grow more slowly than in November's outlook. December's expectation was for a 2.20 percent rise, compared to the 2.43 percent rate expected last month.
